Yes and no, the exothermic reaction ignites the electrolyte solvent, usually a blend of organic carbonates (depending on the type of battery). So it's almost a liquid fire, a chemical fire and an electrical fire all in one. It doesnt have an oxidizer, but the chemicals do contain oxygen. But ultimately there are 3 ingredients needed for a fire, fuel, oxygen and heat. An extinguisher targets two of these by cooling it down and limiting oxygen.

The exothermic reaction will also slow down when cooled which will further help contain the problem
I know. This screwed me over. I had an lxd cluster that was working very nicely. Then 1 of the 5 cluster members failed to upgrade when snap forced an upgrade and it put the whole cluster in a degraded state.
The manufacturers of flagship Android devices are a major cause of this.

I love being able to put an SD card in my phone to get a bit of extra storage, without paying Samsung the extra $200 to double the provided storage. In the S6 era, they removed the SD card, only for it to return (briefly) with the S7. Since the S20, it has once again been removed.

I will keep my S10 until it dies, but there is no point me 'upgrading' to a new phone that looses the headphone jack, and removes the SD slot.

I'm looking at the Sony Xperia 1 iii as a possible new phone, but it's a toss up between that and an iPhone.

Phone support is another issue. Three years, and your device will no longer receive Android updates. Apple is much better in this regard.

I used to update my phone every two years, religiously. Phones are now fast enough that it simply is not required. What do I get if I upgrade to the S22? 120hz refresh, a little better 3D graphics? I don't really game on my phone, so these things are not important to me.

Samsung's desire to just copy Apple means it's probably better to just go get the device they are copying.

So yes, you can get 7% on Vietnamese Dong deposits, but the currency will likely lose 6% of value against the USD over the same time period.
Not sure why you're being downvoted because that is the expectation, and honestly, it's fine for people who are software developers and not users because it guarentees they'll always have jobs.
You're making a circular argument. Anyone who looks at the UK data showing negative effectiveness cannot avoid being "anti vax" because if vaccines make COVID more prevalent rather than less, then the cost:benefit ratio cannot possibly be positive.

In your construction, actually observing published government statistics and acting rationally on it automatically makes someone a "notorious antivaxxer". It's ideology, not rationality.
Oh sure. All that was typed by a lineageos user. But such a small minority is likely to use that in the grand scheme. Hence why I thought it relevant to evaluate the "stock firmware".

FBI Warns of Cyber Attacks on Food Plants After Mysterious Rash of Fires [pdf]
Yeah. Think about years-of-sexual-abuse-and-physical-torture-by-a-relative trauma. Think about locked-in-a-basement-forced-to-eat-excrement trauma. Think about forced-for-years-to-rape-your-brother trauma.

This is the kind of thing that create severe DID cases.

Those things unfortunately exists and occur. Those people are not faking it.

Someone who never had a severe and long term trauma claiming to have DID? Completely different situation.

Psychology diagnoses (i.e. DSM diagnoses) are mostly about being able to reliably diagnose and communicate between providers, billing, etc. They are very much not about concrete underlying causes but about the ability to decide what label to put on a person.

The usefulness of these diagnoses are rather low and treatment tends towards "throw shit at the wall until something sticks". There are lots of things to try for each cluster of symptoms in common and useful heuristics, but the plain truth is that psychology's top-down approach to identification and treatment of conditions has had limited success and will be (and has been) slowly replaced by bottom-up neuroscience approaches which are starting to reach the levels useful to psychological conditions.
Pushing more on the basis it's becoming less popular isn't going to work. People were getting pushed from IE to Firefox and stayed there because IE was an all around pile of stagnant hot dog shit in comparison, not because a few evangelists were worried about percentages.

Unfortunately the differences between Firefox and Chrome are nowhere near as great as the differences between Firefox and IE were. At the same time there isn't another non-Chromium based browser that fits the bill either, especially with MS throwing in the towel and Apple not caring about other OS's.

In practice even though you don't get OS and then security updates anymore, the way Android works, relying on Play services and individual apps upgrades, means you can still use old Android phones for a very long time.

Apple has also transitioned their entire platform from 680x0 to PowerPC to x86 to ARM.

snaps are one of a number of reasons why I'm moving away from an xubuntu based desktop to simply a base debian amd64 CLI-only install, then manually installing xorg+xfce4+misc things for a desktop environment that I really control.

there is simply too much extra crap launched from systemd (I don't have a problem with systemd, just all the extra ubuntu-specific stuff they've added as new daemons) and too many kinda-ubuntu-proprietary things shipped in xubuntu now.

People in this thread (and the author of the article) are under the assumption that Mozilla is running this PPA, it's run by the community.

That being said ricotz has been participating in the Ubuntu community for a very long time, and from a practical standpoint you'll probably be ok.

There's a good reason for Ubuntu to push people away from PPAs as distribution methods for end users and instead use them for what they were original supposed to be used for, make it easy for distro developers to fire up repos for testing/development with the intent of that work making it back into distro and Debian. Snaps have lots of problems but using the distro-staging PPA isn't a good idea either.
Same. About six months ago I started see Sonic trucks all over the neighborhood, five or six at a time covering multiple blocks. I asked if they were installing Fiber and was told no. Not much later, a sales rep knocked on my door. I said yes to the service before he could even greet me. It's been great.

Software licenses are a legal document. Those legal documents are defined by the terms within them. One may argue that it isn't "in the spirit of of what RMS intended", but legally speaking, RMS's opinions have no relevance to a contract he isn't a party to.

If MIT/Apache/BSD/GPL, etc don't qualify as licenses that protect "the four freedoms" then the OSI and FSF need to update their list of approved licenses.

When one studies the Vietnam War -- leaving for a moment the very controversial motivations for the war -- it's interesting to see how far it differs from pop culture narratives (i.e. movies and videogames).

One surprising thing, for example, is how much the VC and later PAVN controlled the initiative. With a few exceptions (which Hollywood tends to highlight) the initiative, when to engage and how, was Vietnamese, not American. No surprise they won.

Another remarkable thing is how well the Vietnamese air force did against the Americans. They even had fighter aces and scored a lot of air-to-air kills!
Back at the end of the Cold War, as a strapping lad on an Aegis cruiser, we used to moor across the pier from USS Long Beach[1].

She was rumored to have the longest-range kill on record, off the coast of Vietnam[2] using Talos[3]. The reference states ~65 nautical miles (minutes of latitude) or ~75 miles. I heard >100, which may or may not be true (since we obfuscate performance parameters pretty much everywhere).

There seems to be a level that some users reach where they truly engage their respective ecosystem efficiently. Those which can engage technology this way usually leverage the platform's abilities in a lifestyle enhancing way and switching isn't really a consideration: what they have works well, if it aint broke, don't fix it etc.

However, as with computers (or really anything), there exists a sizeable group which don't use their devices well and instead have a superficial grasp of their platform, for these people switching is relatively straightforward since they rely very little on the interconnecting magic that makes the various apps and services work well together and instead mostly use the basic functionality of each app, which is relatively identical.
Debian is still Systemd based. If you want to get away from that you need something pretty bizarre like Alpine or Gentoo.
Extensions aren't a reliable solution to privacy and security. Why would you give access to all websites you visit to a 3rd party? I barely trust browser developers these days, let alone some 3rd party developer.

And, no, I can't be bothered to review their source code if it's available, or to trust that I'm actually running said code, that it won't become malicious eventually or bother with building it myself. Unless it's run on demand and for a single purpose, I suggest avoiding extensions altogether.
And here we have a perfect example of anti-Russian bigotry.

I hate samsung, but was once lured in by a S10e on sale at bestbuy. Probably the greatest non-google android device I've ever used. Even with having to disable so many stock apps and hide them away.

DeX is a powerful tool even with all its faults. I managed to live off of that s10e for months with no desktop computer at home just a 27in 1440p screen and a usb-c dock I had from a previous laptop plus a normal keyboard and mouse. Once you get used to it and find the handful of apps that work as replacements for your usual programs its really not a bad device. If all you want to do is run a few chat apps and a browser for watching content on its near perfect. I could even run hearthstone while watching youtube without it skipping a beat.

Some predictions suggest particle-sized black holes are a possible outcome of very energetic collisions.

If they didn't evaporate, they'd be relatively common because the universe is quite an energetic place.

This suggests either that particle-sized black holes don't exist, or that they evaporate very quickly.

This is a good thing. Because some predictions imply they could be created at the energies CERN generates. And if they didn't evaporate they'd end up in or around the earth, with very unfortunate consequences.

None of this solves the information paradox. But if microscopic black holes turned out to be a thing, it would make it slightly - not much, but a little - easier to consider that it might be possible to experiment on them directly.
We had great fun with Lode Runner in grade school. I ended up hacking our copy by modifying one of the sectors on disk to let us start at the higher levels, as we had at most about an hour over lunch to play the game. I had a handy plastic 6502 reference sheet with all the instructions and details about the CPU on the front and back. Ah, those were the good old days when computers came with an assembly monitor in ROM that you could use for all sorts of crazy things...

(edit: this was on an Apple ][e we had in the classroom)
Yes, it's happened quite often unfortunately. And not just years later. Sometimes immediately. Flu vaccine rollouts have shown this effect in the past, as have (failed) HIV vaccines. People who took the Canadian flu vaccine got Swine Flu at a higher rate for example.

The exact cause isn't known because anything that could be perceived as "anti-vaxx" doesn't get funded or honestly researched, even though it's important. But the best bet seems to be a form of imprinting. The immune system prefers to make antibodies that it's made before and does so even if it's exposed to a pathogen different enough to have evolved past those antibodies. For real epidemics this probably doesn't matter much, because they move in waves through the population, but if you repeatedly vaccinate the whole world then you're causing fixation on a long since extinct form of the spike protein. When a mutated virus turns up the body manufactures useless antibodies that don't work rather than trying to develop new ones.

It's actually not even clear that the trials showed positive effectiveness for COVID. They reported it but the way they defined "vaccinated" creates a denominator problem. Their methodology would create the appearance of initially high effectiveness that steadily decays to nothing for anything, including water. Regulators not only didn't notice this but public health agencies adopted the same methodology.

What becomes clear the moment you start learning about this stuff is, we never hear about these problems because any bad news about vaccines is immediately squashed and anyone who points it out gets banned and viciously attacked.
... Are you serious?

We got 1Gbit in 1999-2000 at work. Upgraded to this crazy IBM standard for wall sockets. Turned out to be unnecessary. We had 10Gbit at work in 2006. When I switched to one of the 'big internet companies' in 2008, every fucking server was supposed to have 10Gbit. In 2013, every fucking server was supposed to have 40Gbit.

We're now in 2022. 8 years later. And people argue about 25Gbit at home.

Ḯ'm a bit ashamed.
There's a lot of gatekeeping over what counts a "genuine left-ism" and deBoer is probably one the people most subject to it over the last decade. He is routinely eviscerated for his views on many other clearly left-ish blogs etc. and generally not treated respectfully in such venues. Don't even consider bringing up his name or any of his writing on, for example, Lawyers Gun Money, unless you do not mind being ridiculed too.

So yeah, intra-leftism dispute is probably more applicable to deBoer than almost any other old-school-but-still-at-it blogged that I can think of.
Well, obviously it was a generalization and there are special conditions. People who are deaf can only watch with close captions, so...
I don't buy the slippery slope argument. It presupposes that everyone has visibility into who is getting job offers, which from my experience, is false. Furthermore, if I went thought the pain of a job hunt, then I'm already dissatisfied, and any counter offer would be pushing on a string. To be attractive, the counter would have to provide genuine change in both role and comp. The dynamic here isn't complicated, it seems transactional.
Grammarly really is a keylogger though. In a "plain text being sent to a remote server" kind of way.

That’s fair. Although I personally don’t need that tied to my phone. Maybe it could be substituted with contactless cards?
> When you’re an employee, it feels like your manager’s job is to keep you happy and give you what you want.

Exactly, that's why you go get a competing offer when you do not feel heard from your manager regarding what will make you happy. Especially when you have said career conversations with them and no progress is being made and you're tired of waiting because they are too busy "serving an entire team".

> If the person is deserving of the promotion then withholding it just because is silly. But in the real world that doesn’t really happen.

This happens all the time. People who are more "visible" or "political" can often see promotions before those who may actually deserve them waiting patiently in line. Also fiscal years and promotion cycles are a thing. So it does happen in the real world all the time. Why do you think boomerang employees are a thing?

> If you start giving out promotions to people who seek competing job offers, you’re telling the team that the promotion path is not based on merit or performance, but rather on your ability to hold your manager over a barrel with threats of quitting.

It's really not. If you see it that way, I think you're part of the problem. It's your direct telling you they do not feel heard and this is how they are resorting to being heard. This is usually a last resort for many people. You can "honor" it in many ways. You can decline it because you have no tools to address their concerns, you can accept it because you do have a tool to address their concern, or you can even let them know they are on the path and work with them to make sure they reach that destination. It doesn't even have to be tied to a promotion either, but for many bigger companies that's one of few tools they have to address them. Often they don't play ball and lose the tribal knowledge as well causing even worse issues for the team than just "resentment". Too many great people are lost this way. I'd argue that retaining employees is infinitely better than hiring. Who is going to train the new hires? A manager's first priority is results. Their second priority? Retaining their people.

I want to give Apple the benefit of the doubt and assume they, some of the brightest minds in the world wouldn't have thought of it (and it's possible), but the fact they didn't and chose to do it by update implies they are intending to force people to use their new APIs for that reason for the most part.

I understand that. The statement was intentionally an example of an outlier, not making a generalization as you accuse.

There is, in fact, at least one person in a dorm room writing FOSS. (I've been one, myself) And there's at least one person in an accounting office who does not write software. These are examples of two individual people who have different needs. This is not a generalization of any industry as a whole.
Ask HN: How to overcome fear of the unknown when applying to jobs
I've been a developer at a pretty major American defence company (though i'm from and based in England) for around 3 years (2 years as a graduate/mid level developer, 1 year as a senior). They've been alright, for learning, have a ton of on hands experience with AWS/Kubernetes/messaging systems/multiple languages, but they don't really pay to the going market rate for a senior developer in the UK.

I'm looking at applying elsewhere and I have ambitions to move to one of the larger tech companies. I applied to one of the major startup fin-tech companies in the UK not too long ago, interview process went pretty well, got to stage 5/6 and did very well in technical discussions (discussed messaging systems, transaction integrity with multiple approaches etc), however fell short in the programming task (a program heavily focused on a certain aspect of programming, something I didn't have a massive amount of experience with so got tripped up when trying to convey the intricate details of what exactly the program was doing, though it was completely functional).

Since then, I've improved massively in that part of my skill set, however it has left me with a feeling/fear that I could apply to another company and face the same problem of getting tripped up by a single thing where my knowledge isn't up to scratch, despite my pretty abundant knowledge in other areas. Is this something commonly experienced and if so what can remedy it?
