> I un-learned things like "all or nothing thinking" and the expectation that I could accurately predict the outcome of any course of action

Do you know any words, stereotypes, or clichés for this? Or even what the related mental disorder is called if it were to become debilitating? Or a specific word for the complete clustering of related signals?

I am guessing those issues plus there related issues (¿syndromic?) are common - but I don’t know where to group it in my own mind.
To that I would add the following: trust no one, including yourself. I might think I know what the code is doing, but in the real world I know that I can, have been and will be wrong from time to time.

But nothing beats the satisfaction of getting code working after 2 weeks of building new tools to help debug a really wonky corner case.
What happens on 22.04 when you apt purge snapd ?

It is not a long solved problem if it takes a demo to prove. If it were long solved it'd be self evident. This argument wouldn't exist to begin with.

A demo is worthless if experience doesn't prove it in the long run. And I have the latter, and it doesn't prove. Yes, I know it's probably me, or more likely my friends doing something wrong. One of them restricted Conversations from running in the background for example, non-techies do all sorts of silly stuff. But then again, it shouldn't break with non-techies either. Nothing breaks with them aside from XMPP. Not even WhatsApp which is based on XMPP afaik
Right now might be the best time Moldova will ever get for taking back the land stolen by Russia. Soviet military is overstretched, Ukraine runs air defence over Odessa, there is zero chance of separatists receiving any form of backup from the puppet master.
Correct! Removing Snap Firefox and installing Flatpak Firefox was the first thing I did on my 22.04 install.
> Since the whole world seems to hate Russians right now,

No it does not. Don't fall for Russia=Putin propaganda. Russia can do very well without him, much better so in fact. Average Russians are among those that suffer the most under that monstrous band of criminals that inhibits the Kremlin. The last thing that Mafia wants you to know is that in fact you don't need their protection at all.
Paid vs not-paid is not an important distinction.

People who think that money is the only thing that other people want are doomed to be repeatedly exploited by people who understand that there are more forms of exploitation than directly monetary.
You might be using a distribution where .deb file won't help you much. Another reason might be, that you are getting an extra sandbox.
> When you first get into management, you immediately realize that your job is to serve an entire team in ways that will some times not make individuals happy

Ah, yes, the Amazon school of management.
Worth noting that Unity now has a system of maintaining LTS versions of each of their major yearly releases. They’re doing a LOT of stuff wrong these days but at least they’ve improved on that front.
So, I installed my 1Gbit home network around 20 years ago...

Quite frankly, I'd expected a 100Gbit uplink by now.
As comparison, a modern phone contains around 50-70 individual ranging receivers similar to the Apollo ranging receiver, all capable of operating simultaneously (each with its own spread spectrum sequence, Doppler shift etc).

The GNSS chip typically has 30-60. The 3G modem (if enabled) has ~10 independent receivers (called "fingers" in CDMA parlance). WiFi has 1 (legacy 802.11b).
I buy unlocked.

I would rather have a 10/month phone bill than a 40-50 one.
> Appealing to evolutionary biology - since aphantasia appears to be a persistent trait in humans which would seem to have obvious costs, it's logical to assume there are benefits somewhere to make up the balance.

Is that logical? I think the most logical thing would be to ask: does it impair the individual's ability to reproduce, or the health of their children? I don't think it does - people with aphantasia seem to function relatively normally in that respect. Thus I don't think it would be that heavily selected for or against.

Sometimes things evolution produces are bad but not that bad, so they stick around because there's not enough pressure to make them go away.
For your specific use case, I'd say give Lebara mobile a shot.[0]

SIM card is free, you can top it up with a prepaid amount or do a one-month plan without renewing it, and I just checked their T&Cs relating to roaming and they are actually quite generous[1][2].

Besides, their website is (for the most part) translated in English due to their target demographic, so no need for full French fluency here!

Some good info in English on the French telco landscape can be found at [3].

Was quite an interesting article, enjoyed it. But I must be daft, because I don't understand how the title relates to the article. From the title, I had assumed that the source code to TASC had somehow been recently recovered.
> Buyers do rarely go beyond "wifi 5" or "wifi 6", and do not realize that there's much more.

Would you mind elaborating on this? I would like to learn more to revamp my home setup, which is currently on wifi 5.
Why is this a problem whose response is risk-shifting onto tentants through both limited access and privacy-violating surveillance apparatus, rather than risk-pooling and restitution to landlords when such harms do occur?

What is the false-positive rate in denying housing to reasonable tenant risks?

What is the false-negative rate in failing to identify high-risk tenants?

What are the externalities of living in a low-trust, high-surveillance society?
Residential breakers (in the US at least) have two trip modes -- a delayed trip thermal mechanism, and a fast trip magnetic mechanism. What it essentially does is trip faster if you overload it more. There are requirements for how long a breaker can take to trip at 135% of the rating, and a faster trip time required at 200% of the rating.

I think some people have probably experienced this first hand -- if you just barely overload a breaker, it might take a little while for it to break, and if you turn it back on, it might stay on a little bit before breaking again. And if you really overload it or short it out, it'll break right away. This is all by design.
Right now I-bonds are a pretty compelling down payment savings vehicle, at least for your first ~$15k/year, if your timeline is more than one year out.
Pop OS is removing some Snap stuff while still giving you everything Ubuntu does, plus more.

Compilers and other development tools link framework code, libraries, and runtimes into binaries. Security issues get discovered, development tools get updated, binaries don't, binaries lack security fixes.
During a brief stint working for the Canadian govt, we hired an outside consultant to host lengthy enneagram sessions with us. A true waste of time.
I don't find them all that bad expect for the insanely slow startup times.

it's nuts to wait 20 seconds for a program to start up in 2022
Nix and Guix are package managers, NixOS and Guix System are distros. It is possible someone is using ambiguous shorthand anyway, though.
It's actually main board or logic board, as per, for example, the Apple guidelines.
Devuan is an option too. It's Debian without systemd and gives the choice of SysVinit, OpenRC or runit.
Oh, but they’ll allow you to keep already installed apps, so the only thing you need to do when you get a new phone is figure out which of your 100 apps have been unpublished in the meantime.

And then, I dunno, decide you are not going to upgrade because you don’t want devices in your house to be expensive bricks.
This is standard economics, from experts who have studied development for decades.

The massive decline seen in poverty over the last 50 years is a matter of fact, with broad consensus that it has occurred.

It's just inconvenient to your victimhood narrative.
This is honestly pretty common knowledge in armchair general circles. There's practically games out there where former servicemen measure wieners about who is more correct, to the point where they get in trouble for disclosing classified information

Are you not conflating continental drift with plate tectonics? The former was, for several decades, not widely accepted on account of the lack of a plausible mechanism. The latter is not the theory that the continents drift, but it provided the missing mechanism for how they do. Acceptance of both was swift once the distinctive paleomagnetic patterning of the oceanic crust was discovered. This scientific revolution was data-driven.
Just using Google maps was super slow on my flagship galaxy phone compared to an iPhone SE.

Shouldn't the question be: why are users selecting Chromium/Chrome instead of other browsers? The only real contender is Safari, but from the numbers that seems to be mostly from iOS and iPadOS where Apple has their own, enforced, browser monopoly.
I'd start with #2 on the list, Captain Underpants. It got banned in many libraries due to supposedly "racist" imagery. [1]

This. Those contracts werw not paid in Rubles for a good reason. Even at the height of the cold war communist countries used the USD for trade amongst themselves: the Kremlin is not and never was interested in creating the sort of rules-based systems that provide an expectation of long term stability.
Sage: An artificially intelligent band recommender
For me, on a Mac, I consider Safari dead in the water ever since they crippled its extension support, so that's a no-go.

Chrome is made by whom I consider a privacy rapist, so I refuse to use that. As for any Chromium derivatives - well, given its origins, I consider them tainted, so no-go as well on those.

That leaves only Firefox, which to me is quite capable and fast, and I really have no issues using it.

I do think governments should look closely at Chrome's monopoly, since it's Google's (or Alphabet, or whatever name-du-jour) power play in vertical integration/takeover for its own advantage, and way to crush competition.
>I understand if this comes across as pedantry but the global north and south terminology does a better job at leveling the playing field when talking about wealth and progress disparities.

I mean... but how? It's just the exact same concepts with less intuitively obvious words. Arguably it frames the disparity as a more immutable part of a nation; it doesn't fit normal language patterns to talk about a country moving north/south.
I feel you.

Here in Australia: $90/month nets you “100/40mb”, which is really more like “~85mb down, 25 up but only a quiet night, if you’re next to the router, and it hasn’t rained within the last week”.
Because postponing isn't possible, the files changed from under it and their behavior is undefined.
I can easily run old x86 Linux binaries on ARM, and vice versa, automatically with binfmt_misc. User-mode emulation allows you to run x86 Windows binaries on ARM WINE, as well.

And Microsoft fully supports running x86 applications on ARM Windows[1], as well.

> with very unfortunate consequences

Less than you might suppose. A micro black hole that the LHD could generate is a tiny tiny hole, and you can only cram a tiny amount of matter down it at once.

An extreme lower bound on the time such a black hole might take to grow large enough to destroy the Earth is on the order of 10,000 years. More likely it would take longer than the lifetime of the Earth.

Is the interest banks pay on deposit locked in any way (on the US)? I got the impression it changed month to month.
Short version: Florida’s legislature passed a bill (later signed into law by its governor) which prohibits discussion of “sexual orientation and gender identity” in (presumably only) public school classrooms.

More details: Disney is one of the largest employers in the state and big contributor in taxes to it’s tourism-driven economy. Disney also oversaw its own land management district (the 27k acres which make up Walt Disney World property was, in essence, its own city with a tiny government to boot).

When the bill passed, Disney didn’t speak up. It was criticized by gay employees and fans (of which there are many!). Disney eventually expressed its opposition to the law.

Florida’s state government has a significant GOP majority and didn’t like this. A special session was called by the legislature to eliminate the laws which gave Disney ability to oversee its land management district. (Other districts were caught up in this as well.)

The problem is, this district has $1B to $2B in bonds that Disney was responsible for. Florida law requires the bonds to be assumed by counties when special districts are disbanded. Unless something else changes, the two counties Disney properties straddles are on the hook for this. It’s estimated it would increase the tax burden to over $2,000 for every resident in those counties.

To give you a sense of how quickly this moved, Disney’s CEO publicly came out against the law on March 9. Florida eliminated Disney’s special district this past week.
I never owned a Lumia phone but everyone I knew who did have one loved it.

It was on my short list for my next phone at one point, but the platform imploded before that happened.

SR is ~$40 and LR is ~$60, so more expensive than SFP+ modules but not out of the reach of someone who even has a capable SFP28 port.
Mint is based on ubuntu though isn't it? Looking around it looks like they balked at the Chromium snapification, but that's going to get more untenable as time goes on.
How can you do anything with semiconductors without band gap theory? To move beyond the cat's-whisker stage, QM and its practical implications are both absolutely essential.
My favorite aspect of this site is that one might voice an unorthodox or troubling idea so long as one does it respectfully. Rather than an expectation that everyone be highly emotional all the time, people are expected to be a bit more logical and keep their emotions a bit more restrained. I know a lot of people are made upset by that aspect of HN (often because we don't get as visibly upset at stuff), but I find it a refreshing change.

Other sites tend to politicize pretty much everything. This site has some politics, but it doesn't seem to dominate the discussion.
Pfizer scientists transformed an old drug lead into a Covid-19 antiviral
I'm pretty sure the owner of the “Mozilla Team” team PPA [1] has been dead since 2013 [2]. He is also listed as an Administrator. If someone were to comprise his account via his old email, e.g. if he used a now expired domain that could be registered, they could use this PPA to deliver a backdoored Firefox build to thousands of users and steal their passwords, tokens and SSH keys.

Community support is great but without a proper security team and enforced secutiry processes the PPAs are very dangerous.

Particles of magnetite in or between cells are a much more likely mechanism.

There are languages where grammar requires all directions are absolute, and even three-year-olds speaking those languages never get them wrong. I don't know of any studies to show they really are referenced to magnetic north, or are misled by artificial magnetic fields.

There is probably an easy PhD in showing such an effect.
I think Netflix should do a web3 option for their subscription model, issue nfts that are just "generic subscriptions", family can transfer around the nft, there could be a market for netflix subscriptions, it could be neat.
what's the alternative? of all the friend groups i've had only _one_ has ever been among a group that has all iphones. i'm having a hard time imagining that, in a world of 70% android share, finding yourself in a group that can actually make use of the iOS-only stuff could ever be the _norm_? like, the statistics of this just don't make sense to me unless the OS distribution is _extremely_ skewed along a handful of metrics and you find yourself at an extreme end of multiple of those.
Android phones don't break even if they stop getting updates. Big popular apps like Firefox, Kindle, etc. work on old versions of Android like 6.0. $400+ is still a steep upfront cost to a lot of people.

Who's surprised?

- More and more locked down bootloaders

- Less and less support and updates guarantee

- A mess on the interfaces provided: each brand as its own that no one can expect to be consistent

- Devices loose support after 2 years and enter in maintenance mode after that

- Expensive as iphone

So why would I want an iPhone? for locked down expensive experience then I should got an iPhone. Apple is pushing for updates and device support, so yes.
>>> by dramatically increasing the difficulty you actually make the network much more susceptible to takeovers because that leads to consolidation amongst the miners.

I understand why gold got centralized into USA during WW2 (physical security, costly to assay). Why does increasing BTC difficulty lead to miner centralization?

Long time Android user, switched to iPhone when I broke the screen of my Google-gifted Nexus 3a. Final straw was the latest update. Every widget became bigger, with a border radius taking way too much space on the screen. Some widgets (e.g.: calendar) had part of the text hidden by the round edges. On top of that, I had a black-ish/brown-ish background and after the update all the UI was brown.

I honestly don't know what Google designers/engineers get paid to do if they can't even QA the software of one of their main devices.

I don't like Apple but I'm way happier now. Main complaint is the stupid photo/file separation. Just give me a normal filesystem please.
Yes, and? This does not imply that trade is not beneficial.

Marx is just saying that exchange of goods in itself does not create new value. He believed in the labor theory of value, which means that human labor is the ultimate source of value creation.

The idea that trade is never beneficial does not follow from that theory.
Blockchains are a tech for commons records among consenting parties. As a "database", it's really quite niche. But as a fundamental tech it's an advancement, because it lets you set up some basic rules and then know that the log henceforth doesn't need a designated custodian, and can accommodate many contributors. The surface area for indiscretion is reduced, and the chain doesn't need highly visible maintenance to stick around.

This quality also makes it actually pretty unsuitable for capitalism: capitalism premises enclosure of the commons through the enforcement of the state. It desires strong identity and legibility everywhere. So it becomes "pointless" by definition - a bad database - if the state or some other body is assumed in control. Thus the commonplace scenario of blockchains being a legitimizing veneer for scams has taken hold: actually using their best qualities is anti-capitalistic, but using them to obscure a scheme can be done if you tinker around with the financing enough so that you stay a step ahead of regulation.

But there is genuine activity, gradually increasing over time, through the contrasting role of blockchain stewardship. This starts with the role of miners in the technical substrate; and it proceeds towards more general ideas around governance and solving decentralized coordination problems. Markets often appear in the midst as a way of ranking things by price as well as by name or category, but markets aren't necessarily special. The speculative market does has a role in building up these ideas, though, because each time the tide goes out, those projects that have done the best at addressing coordination issues become survivors. There's a holistic element to the tech really working well that is just barely being touched upon.
> When working on a large codebase or trying to plan out something like this -- you can't really go off of visual imagery. There's no "picture" of all the ways that various things in a codebase will interact, design decisions, etc.

Interesting that you feel this way. I definitely do imagine a codebase spatially, and constantly draw diagrams on paper to orient myself. I find those note taking tools like Dendron that do nothing except make a nice graph of your knowledge very useful.

If you make a graph with services or classes as nodes, and edges as calls between them, you can absolutely get a sense of when a codebase or system architecture is spaghetti, and when it's a neatly organised tree with neatly distinguished layers and no cycles.

In fact, surely that's why people call spaghetti code spaghetti - because the call graph looks like a plate of spaghetti and is impossible to untangle.

How to install Debian on Apple Silicon machines
I switched from Google to Apple after being in the Google ecosystem since the early days of Android. I had pretty much every single Nexus, Pixel, and a variety of Samsung devices. But Google's lack of support, half-assed one-foot in one-foot out, and lack of support made me switch to Apple about 3 years ago and I've never been happier.

Apple's ecosystem, while it doesn't offer as much, is a much superior and polished experience. iMessage works great, integration with Apple Watch is top notch, and the whole ecosystem is very fine-tuned. There are still a bunch of things to complain about, for sure, but overall comparing the two is a night and day difference.

I've slowly started phasing out all my Google products.. and not by choice either. Had Google Nest and Nest Secure for over 3 years until Google decided to just cancel Nest Secure all-together. Google Home devices are increasingly being less and less effective. Google just can't seem to commit to anything longer than 2-3 years and I'm sick of it. I'd much rather deal with getting features much later but thoroughly thought out, then half-assed and cancelled in 2 years. I will say the one thing I do miss is native Google Assistant, Siri is complete ass in comparison.
