It's not like you're going to run plasma OS on your iPhone, are you? You're running the Linux phone OS on the androids with the big batteries.

The point was that it's reasonable to expect the battery life of plasma OS and friends to be comparable to Android, similar to how Linux on a laptop is comparable to Windows.
There’s a reason guidelines ask you not to discuss downvotes, which always fluctuate. You were adding pure noise to the thread, and you tripled down on that.
According to this page the 40 pin IO is available through a MIL-DTL-38999 connector. I've always liked those military connectors. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/U.S._Military_connector_specif...

Can recommend to try out SXMO [1] which is very lightweight and doesn't have the same long lags as phosh has.

My initial take is that this article is trash. To build up their empire, the Romans literally conquered people that weren't like them; you could probably argue they should have had more conquering zeal and xenophobia.

Also, why does the tech community have an obsession with Rome?
> the shareholders of the bailed out companies ... should personally lose assets

if shareholders lose assets, then it's not a bailout. If they get bailed out, then they aren't losing assets. You're talking about the same coin, viewed from different angles.

What you wish to accomplish - the shareholders taking a haircut, but for third-parties such as customers or general public to not take one, is impossible.
Just create a fake username and email called "John Lawyer Man" and CC him on everything - Government regulators HATE this!
If your i9 16” throttles down to 1 or 1.4ghz, then most likely it is clogged with dust. Open the bottom cover and clean both the heat sink and the Fan blades properly. I need to do this to my 16” i9 once every 3-4 months to prevent it from throttling under load.

Interestingly, sharing an external screen using google meet and running something like npm install will easily throttle the CPU even if the CPU usage never shows anything above 15% of use.
That's probably a sign of the famous Japanese inability to write software more than anything. Sony cameras come with a free version of Capture One that recreates the official picture styles, though that's not that interesting.
I think it's safe to use insurance rates as a proxy for the likelihood you'll get into a crash. Rates are almost invariably higher for every type of coverage if you live in a more densely populated area.

sort of, in my mind, like why public limited companies had to emerge, in order to drive some outcomes. unlimited risk investment wasn't attractive even with upsides.

as a child, I understood "corporation" to mean "town council" and entirely wanted the products, which tended to public utility functions. I didn't actually understand corporate in any other sense for years.
Why you didn't do something is a completely valid question and often requires much more awareness (that it exists) and introspection (of how it fits) to figure why it wasn't the best choice.

Instead of assuming the asker is a "know-it-all", what if they actually do know more? I've learned more from counter arguments (both hearing and making them) in all aspects of engineering and life in general.

I'll never turn down such a question and actively engage them because it makes me aware of alternatives at the very least, and often helps in future decisions. There are plenty of stories posted on HN of poor decisions that probably could've been avoided if someone considered some alternatives.
Your 1965 Leica takes better pictures than a current camera!

Btw, why do people keep saying "DSLR" to mean "real camera"? "DSLRs" are not at all the ideal of picture quality, actually they're worse than mirrorless but when they were "SLRs" they were worse than rangefinder and view cameras.
Hisense A7 or Yota 3 should be your choice then. Both e-ink phones. Yota with the twist that you have the choice to use e-ink or a normal screen by turning the phone.
Wow I can’t imagine what a pain it would be for one of us to have an android phone and the other iOS. We use the react emojis for each other constantly, I send videos to my wife via airdrop, and all of our images are synced and shared via iCloud. Also my wife can seamlessly FaceTime me wherever I am to help calm a grumpy toddler who “wants daddy”.

I guess I sound like I’ve really drank the iKoolaid but I feel like we’d just constantly be frustrated if we weren’t using the same device family.
the LME is plainly and explicitly trying to protect natural traders in this one outlying instance, because they dont have the flexibility that speculators do.

I recently started to trade some contracts on LME after many years of considering it too archaic to contemplate, but its a great source of liquidity for many metals and cant at least up until now be neglected.

there is no reason another exchange couldn't subsume some of the trade on the LME, but the tension between speculators and natural traders won't go away.
I agree, however there's more wisdom to that strategy if you're working with a novel technology stack like the SerenityOS browser. Chrome and Firefox are lucrative enough as targets that weaknesses are exploited in the wild rapidly enough that people are willing to make that bargain with internet leviathan on auto-updates. Something like LibreWolf has that same target painted on its back, but it's not the devil you know. On the other hand, SerenityOS is kind of like how back in 2003 when all the bad guys started targeting Windows users en masse, everyone switched to Linux, and then the whole virus issue went away. Not because the scrappy Linux developers were wiser and had better security practices than Windows, but rather it was just simple economics.
generally, people use a DSLR with a bit more intention, and it makes sense to optimize the sensor and lens to capture a single image as envisioned by the photographer.

however, there are lenses available that combine multiple focuses, focal lengths, and framings by projecting multiple images onto the sensor, to be captured with a single actuation of the shutter.

modern cameras also include features for automatically integrating multiple captures to expand details such as depth of field, dynamic range, resolution, and so on. your phone camera does this too, it is just concealed and non-obvious.
Dropbox seems to have done something very close to what you describe.

"Not worth it, at least right now" is a perfectly valid answer to this question. Before doing X, someone needs to estimate the benefits of doing it / the costs of not doing it. If there's no clear reason to do X, but there are clear reasons to do Y, then forget X and do Y. If things change and a reason for X appears, then you do X.
That glued on iMac design was really stupid for a desktop that uses fans. Even my older generation iMac with the magnetically held cover is too much of an effort to clean. And from the looks of it, this new Mac studio suffers from ur same issue. While you can access the fan and the heartsink, it requires too much fiddling and too many screws to make it easy for any user.

So, you don't think there was tribalism pre-2006? I'm just curious, do you remember that time? Was it much better then?

I ask because it seems like we have mostly the same politicians (McConnell, Pelosi, Biden, even Trump ran as an independent) as we did then.
Seems more efficient to clone 200 or so super geniuses and stick them in a lab.
The Republic didn’t fall because it ran out of enemies. It fell because the centre of Roman power was incredibly disconnected from the source of Roman power. The source of Rome’s power came from a small number of people who had extraordinary leadership and military command talents, who were able to win the victories required to expand Roman territory beyond the top half of the Italian peninsula. Yet the senate, responsible for wielding the power won by these generals, were just a bunch of aristocrats and demagogues, who routinely saw Rome’s most competent generals as their greatest threat. This tension exists for the entire republic era, and you could just as easily predict that Romans would have to start “looking inwards for power” after the Pyrrhic War.

The senate had a well established history of turning against its greatest generals by Caesar’s time. You mention the defeat of Carthage, but who defeated Carthage, and what happened to them afterwards? Scipio Africanus did at the Battle of Zama, and he was promptly exiled from Rome afterwards by his political rivals (and was lucky to avoid execution really). It is absolutely no surprise that the Roman republic eventually fell to an extremely competent general leading an extremely loyal army, after having the senate try to take him down a peg.
It's the kind of thing that's hard to quantify. But we have good reasons why cold weather weakens your immune system with how it effects mucus production. And people with weaker immune systems get sick more often. Therefore, stay warm to reduce chance of illness

My cousin switches every few years and it seems like it’s always a crapshoot of whether she’ll have iOS or Android. Drives my phone crazy as it’ll try to send her iMessages and failover to texts for months.

RateMyNFT: We have built the world’s first trust platform for NFT projects.

Why:

Aren’t you sick and tired of getting scammed from NFT projects? Getting scammed sucks and it is a painful experience. Anyone can fake an NFT project. As more and more people get into NFTs, fake NFT projects will continue to increase, and will be very difficult for the average user to validate good projects. To validate fake from authentic NFTs, you kinda need some technical knowledge or background.

What are we building

We are building a trust platform that helps you validate fake from real NFT projects. As part of the solution, we built RateMyNFT, the world’s first online platform that primarily allows users to contribute reviews, ratings, upvotes, and discover NFT collections. The platform leverages a crowdsourcing model to acquire ratings. This enables our community to make informed decisions about the validity of specific NFT collections and make comparative assessments of quality, standard, and performance. RateMyNFT is ultimately aimed at solving the problem of NFT scams by giving people the tools to identify fraudulent collections and verify legitimate NFTs.

We are building for NFT project owners, Hodlers, and the general community.

Project Owners can list their NFT projects. They have added useful project details like
Websites
Socials
Contract address
Creator
Project description
Number of items in their collections.

This helps the general community get a better understanding of the collection listed.

Hodlers: Minted NFT owners can rate, review and upvote NFT collections.

The general public can make informed decisions before investing in an NFT project by searching for projects, looking at their ratings, reviews and upvotes.

Interesting insights:

Whenever you want to visit a new restaurant, the first step is probably visiting Yelp. Or, you usually check the reviews on Amazon products first before making a purchasing decision. People's perspectives about a product or service are a big value for discovery. We are using such use cases for NFT projects. In fact, people trust strangers when making a purchase online. A recent study showed that 84% of people trust online reviews as much as their friends or families. To minimize fake reviews, NFT hodlers should connect their NFT wallet to leave a review. Connecting a wallet allows RateMyNFT to verify ownership of the project/collection being reviewed. This ensures that each review is legitimate.

Call to Action:
We are releasing our first beta to NFT project owners and hodlers. You can list your NFT projects if you have one on our platform and share it with your community so they can add reviews and ratings. To access beta, join our NFT Discord server. Join now and help us build a better trust ecosystem for web 3.0. Link to server: https://discord.gg/akfJGR8Wqr
This may seem somewhat silly to most people but if it isn't vaporware and can actually meet demand and fulfill procurement needs, could be a solid choice. Choosing and sourcing SBC's for hardware is an absolute nightmare these days because of the thousands of options, horrible supply chains, and essentially nonexistent documentation or BSP's for the vast majority of them.

Raspberry Pi's are undeniably the easiest SBC to work with, and for a huge portion of industrial, defense, and aerospace products and devices are a near ideal choice except for their "hobbyist" level attributes.

A robust Pi4 clone that supports nvme drives, has no Bluetooth or Wifi by default, and has something like ISO9001 certification to check the boxes for big enterprise contracts would sell like hotcakes. It's somewhat surprising to me that the Pi foundation hasn't made something to this tune yet (the Pi CM4 may as well be vaporware - they're basically impossible to find anywhere even in single-digit quantities).
As appendix, maybe. A program which rehearsed the mistakes before arriving at the conclusion could be a good read, in linear order but probably not what you expect. I tend to think this is more like a rolls-royce, you want to be able to look in the boot at the old water pump but only to clarify how closely it resembles the current one, if the current one breaks: if the current water pump works, thats what you want to see first if you open the bonnet.

"Reader, she married him" as the first words of the book, not the last basically.
"Do we have to release often? No, we do not, because the release process almost never changes and there are so few components."

This is non-sequitur: release frequency is not dictated by release process - although it is affected by it - but by business requirements.

"We never really had “monoliths” before in development that I experienced".

Good for the OP, I guess. I currently involved in development of 3 monolith services. All are 6-7 years behind on the framework they were based on and making any sweeping refactorings is cost prohibitive and tantamount to a full rewrite. Were they architected as microservices (which entails not just code, but infra), major refactorings would've been on the table.

Code review policy feelings doesn't make a lot of sense to me either. Company's policy is all code goes through review. How one feels about it is not relevant, it's a part of one's job. Microservices or not, code gets reviewed.
The 16” M1 Pro also has amazing battery life. I regularly use mine for a whole day’s work on battery, while with the i9 16” battery rarely lasts more than 3-4 hours under similar loads.
An f/1.8 lens never comes out crystal clear if you want the entire scene to be in focus. Though since you mentioned long exposures you probably meant closing it to f/4+, but then it doesn't matter what the top spec is.
Observation about the author's Ms. McCabe deciding to carry a Pixel: I was out this weekend with my wife and her friends and they all had iPhones. They all kept asking me to use my Pixel, because "it takes better pictures." Not sure how much more damning it can be than a bunch of 40-50 year old moms noticing the camera for it's suck.

The Pixel is definitely, unabashedly, engaging in similar computational chicanery, but it's better at it's particular brand of misdirection than the iPhone is at it's brand. And this is the first time soccer moms have noticed.

I have a friend who was a PM at Apple and moved to Google. He said never expect to work with Apple on a software project. It didn't make any sense for them to contract for software services, because they didn't have any data.
I think you have to accept that privacy is dead. Period. There is absolutely no tinkering, no open source software, nothing that will prevent you from being tracked. Realize you cannot change this, and accept what you cannot change.
Once all the bad actors get evicted (renters who abused the eviction moratorium and decided to not pay rent), and courts get caught up on landlord-tenant cases, prices will stabilize.

A lot of what we're seeing with COVID is a temporary overshoot in the other direction. Houses and apartment buildings didn't disappear during COVID. And you don't need a long elaborate logistic chain to be able to rent or lease a space.
Sony don’t make a multi-lens parallel processing computational camera. I think that’s telling.

IME, this can be blocked with no effect on the performance of the app.

One can replace the default messages and dialer apps with ones from F-Droid. However, IME, such alternative apps may also attempt to lookup Google domains. NetGuard app can block these attempts.

The OpenContacts app on F-Droid purports to keep contacts isolated from "tech" company covert access via privacy-invasive apps such as Google's dialer app, WhatsApp, etc. According to NetGuard, OpenContacts from F-Droid makes no DNS lookups or HTTP requests.
Charitably, the author doesn't mention Aronofsky also ripping off Pi from Tetsuo: the Iron Man.

It sucks that Kon felt slighted, but there really is no such thing as 'too much homage'. Scorsese's The Departed is a shot-for-shot remake of Infernal Affairs and also his first Oscar. It's how art gets mades.
Yeah, code written by the people before you is always bad
>I get it I feel it myself, but history doesn’t repeat itself and groups of humans (especially civilizations) have so much more nuance to them it’s a disservice to both Rome and American history.

I agree, it's imprudent to try and draw direct parallels between the US and any other historical empire, including Rome.

That said, we can learn much from history. And in the US and Europe, we can learn even more from the history of the "West."

As Eugen Weber[0] put it[1]:

...But where should we start? Perhaps the first
thing to ask is what the scope of a series on the
history of Western Civilization should be?

And the best way to think of it is that we are going
back to the old country. We're going back to where
many of our ancestors came from. To see where their
stories came from, and their memories and their
habits and the way they are, which has made us the
way we are.

This is what history is about. Where we come from.
What lies behind the way we live and act and think.
How our institutions, our religions, our laws were
made.

As the old saw goes, "history doesn't repeat, but it often rhymes."

Understanding the thoughts, fears, triumphs and failures of our forbears is an important window on our human nature and the things that have driven us since time immemorial, and continues to drive us to this day.

Whether it's the ancient Egyptians, Greeks and the many civilizations of the Levant/Fertile Crescent as well as Rome, the Abrahamic[2] religions and the thinkers/ideas of the ensuing millenia, they all have something important to teach us about the world we live in now. They did, after all, birth many of our core beliefs, ideas and institutions.

While it's generally not productive to point at specific issues and exclaim "This is just like Rome!" or something similar, understanding the culture and practices of our ancestors can give us insight into our current world.

But that's not enough. While human nature is human nature which hasn't really changed in a couple hundred thousand years, times do change.

And when they do, we need to, as Lincoln pointed out[3]:

The dogmas of the quiet past, are inadequate to the
stormy present. The occasion is piled high with
difficulty, and we must rise -- with the occasion.
As our case is new, so we must think anew, and act
anew. We must disenthrall ourselves, and then we
shall save our country.

tl;dr: While it's dumb to see history as a blueprint for the future, it is a wonderful trove of knowledge and information about the human condition and its response to a vast array of stresses.

As we are keenly reminded by Paul M.M. Cooper and his Fall of Civilizations[4] podcast.

Is xenophobia and racism getting worse? There's clearly a massive vested interest in perpetuating the idea and fearmongering that it is. But if you go back even a decade or two, democrat presidents would be considered ultra-right-wing nazi-adjacent on their rhetoric about illegal aliens and border control.

Tolerance and permissiveness seem to be rising since then as far as I can see. Although you may be referring to the troubling rise in policies of institutional racism like race discrimination in university admissions, which I agree is one obvious thing that seems to be going backwards in recent times.
It appears they’ve had access since at least January. I wonder how many customer accounts have been breached? It’s a giant list of targets if so.

It’s also very disappointing this is surfacing via tweets and not a breach notice from Okta, who apparently suspended at least one account used for entry.
> Also, why does the tech community have an obsession with Rome?

American centric negativity combined with self aggrandizing projection.

The comparisons to Rome are the new JavaScript frameworks of HN.
For me, my biggest huddle in staying focus is that I tend to procrastinate a lot.

My advice would be to give the Pomodoro technique a try. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pomodoro_Technique

Divide your working time into 25-minute intervals, with a 5-minute rest in between to recharge your focus.

It helps me stay concentrated and prevent procrastination.

We sold a place last year. The agent asked whether we wanted to pay for rental furniture or virtual furniture for the pics. We said neither.

We ended up with the virtual furniture for free. I think they wanted to figure out how it works and our place was small and boxy so an easy starting point.

Not that you could trust the ultrawide angle HDR photos much in the first place, now you have to put up with shoddily inserted virtual furniture wrecking your size/perspective references. It is an Alice in Wonderland trip...
As someone who has had a naked iPhone since the iPhone 3G and has only once dropped an iPhone in a way that damaged it, all the cases just seem so crappy and cheap compared to the feel of my iPhone. I’ve tried a few and always return them. I almost never put my phone down though as it’s almost always in my pocket or charging or being used, so I don’t really care much about the bump on my 12 Pro Max.
Ugh. This is bad if true. Godspeed to incident response, enterprise security, and infrastructure teams. If you're not an Okta customer, you might want to tabletop this anyway.
