I’d love something like this that I could just dock my phone into when I get home, rather than needing a separate SIM. Especially if it had a nice receiver. Trying to actually talk on a cell phone is so much harder than it used to be when you could cradle the receiver in your shoulder.

I think even the most casual of gamers feel the difference when input/display lag is reduced, even if they don't know why their enjoyment is greater.

Similar to how most folks, in a blind test, would prefer a fresh-baked pastry from a skilled baker that uses quality ingredients vs. some kind of shelf-stable junkfood pasty. They would likely not know or care about the fact that one uses high quality grassfed butter and the other uses partially hydrogenated oils and that one uses cane sugar and the other uses corn syrup. But they would enjoy one more than the other, even if they weren't able to articulate why.

> never understood "security people" who would spend a week hardening their OS but did nothing about their locks.

I don't understand someone spending an absurd amount of money on a very high security deadbolt for a residential application. Burglars don't pick locks to get into houses. They force the door with crowbars, or break a window / open the latch, or climb to a second floor window that people rarely lock, and so on.

Unless your door frame is sufficiently strong enough and the door secure enough as well, spending hundreds of dollars on very high security deadbolts is stupid.

Soldiers succeed when they deter war; pacifists, when they prevent it. In the same way soldiers who never go to war aren’t free riding, pacifists who help prevent even one war every few generations add more than they detract.

Would Effective Go Assembly be on the banned book list?
Unfortunately, Lineage has abandoned a large number of previously-supported devices, so this latest version will be met with some dismay.

The primary reason is the loss of iptables, and the older kernels that do not support eBPF.

U.S. carriers are also moving to VoLTE, and this is not supported on any Samsung devices at all. AT&T has already made the move, and published a list of allowed devices.

It's sad to see them go.
All of the resources I used to learn C++ are probably obsolete at this point, so I can't give any advice on how to get started, but I highly recommend reading Effective Modern C++ after you learn the basics, which covers a lot of best practices.
As a US citizen, I often wonder how much value we are getting back from our military spending and what amount are we being bilked by the defense industry.

That's not what the document says. It says the data is unlabeled at the "tens of thousands of points" of injection and that, without that labeling cannot be controlled in its access. It doesn't say the process fails because of manual reviews. The "changing legislation" that concerns them is the legislation which requires control over the data which the current system does not have (data about privacy and access). It also says that it will take them hundreds of people-years to re-architect and redeploy their systems into something that does have that kind of privacy labeling.

That’s just discretionary spending. Discretionary spending is less than half of total US federal spending. The biggest single expense budgets by far are welfare or welfare related.

I don't think Elon will take an active role in running Twitter. In fact, he will probably spend just as much time thinking about Twitter as he already does today. He will install a CEO willing to follow his directions/philosophy. The takeover is more about freeing Twitter's governance from the current board, who have stifled the development of innovative new features due to fear of losing users.

Similar to the sibling, I graduated in 2012. I took some federal loans, and paid something like 4-5k per semester + books, I believe (University of Wisconsin - Milwaukee).
While there are people using credit cards to cover expenses when there is no other option, I'm not sure how well it holds as a reason against legislation aimed at increasing competition with alternatives. That problem should be solved via the competing alternatives, especially considering how predatory these cards are for low income people in the first place.
> Mech keyboards and obsession with them are purely a luxury, hobby thing

I agree. The fact that your typical keycap set typically sells for more than some full blown keyboards is already a clear tell.

However, I'd add that some properties of your typical mechanical keyboard are indeed very convenient. For instance, easily removable key caps and hotswappable switches do bring in the nice consequence of making keyboards easy to clean, maintain, and repair.
The problem is that scientists don't just do science, they're people. They have ideological biases of their own, and they're often not corrected because they're systemic and entrenched. And because of these biases they often don't listen to evidence or voices that doesn't fit pre-existing concerns. Especially in "softer" or social sciences like archaeology / anthropology.

Example: "Clovis first" settlement of the North America vigorously drowned out other voices, sometimes with aggressive nasty personal politics (read about how how Tom Dillehay was treated personally about his discoveries at Monte Verde sometime, got pretty nasty). All the while indigenous Americans were insisting in various capacities that they had been much longer. And lo and behold, archaeology is finally starting to 'discover' these facts, but in reality much of the evidence has been here all along (though a lot of it is probably underwater), it just required looking for it and not immediately discounting its possibility.

And yes, this doesn't mean that "science" is wrong or the scientific method intrinsically flawed. And usually these things shake out eventually. But I don't think there's anything wrong with shaking people a bit and asking them to open their eyes and ears and accept that what they think they're doing as a pure empirical method needs to be scrutinized carefully and part of that is accepting that there are stories and knowledge out there that have all too easily been discounted with the same kind of attitude the author of this article is presenting.

Science should be immune to "overtones." Overtones are subjective and based in emotion and personal experience. I don't see any racist overtones at all.

Which work was poor quality? His work is published and peer reviewed. It should be easy to point at the work you're referring to.

He has conducted interviews about what he was thinking: he wanted to research migration and IQ, even though he received a lot of political pressure not to. He knew that this was a potential consequence, but believed that scientific and educational institutions would uphold Enlightenment ideals and allow free research. He was wrong. Politics have won in academia, and some subjects are off limits now.

> The others are just shouted down and may as well go home

I'm not sure that's true at all, lots of fringe views gain traction on Twitter. I'd imagine more of them still are moderated out of existence.

> So this is the key tension. Outgroups get criticism of themselves every-bloody-where

Yes, and by being a digital town square, Twitter, or any similar platform, would become part of everywhere, with the same consequences for outgroups.

> provide an opening for an outgroup to issue its own civilly-expressed criticism

I agree that outgroups should have this opportunity, but it must be applied to all the outgroups, including those who have a mutual loathing for each other, and those whom we loathe ourselves. Fairness dictates we shouldn't play favourites, in the same vein that the ACLU defended the a Nazi group's right to march through Skokie.

If an outgroup wants a private, safe space to express themselves, that place cannot also purport to be a public square of free expression. It's one or the other.

> I see reports about a problem of UK farmers who make more from dedicated solar, per hectare, than they were making growing.

Can you share that report?

I'd like to see a triple use farm. Great idea in concept, but I doubt that there a lot places that have a climate that makes wind, solar, and shade vegetable growth economical on the same land. Otherwise we would see this pervasively across California's Central valley.
Super interesting - curious to hear about why you decided to build the integrations yourselves versus using an embedded iPaaS (I am one of the founders of one so always curious). Congrats on supporting more than 100 integrations!
Oh, to be honest I'm not sure how that works. Discretionary spending makes it sound like it's just pocket money. 1.5 trillion dollars doesn't sound like pocket money, and this is the budget that all of the news outlets seem to discuss as "the budget"... what's the other budget that social security, medicare and medicaid come out of so that I can look up that spending and what comes out of that and how much that is? - this seems purposefully complicated, tbh. I've heard this referred to as "the federal budget" for so long (and yes, I'm referring to the US federal budget), I thought they were referring to the complete budget (state budgets aside). That being said, I do understand my naivete =/

EDIT... I meant to say thank you in that post. that chart is awesome, btw
If your idea of 'major cities' is the top 500 cities in the country, I think we need a redefinition to just 'cities'.
> In fact, isn't a standard Microsoft Natural ergonomics keyboard way better than your typical mechanical switch keyboard?

The switch type does not control the shape. In fact, one of the oldest and most respected ergonomic keyboard designs (Kinesis Advantage) uses mechanical switches. I use an IV-Works AV3 mechanical keyboard, which uses the Arisu layout, which is a modified Alice layout, which was modeled on the Microsoft Natural keyboard.

Many people use split keyboards for ergonomics since they provide the ability to adjust the angle, and these are quite common in the mechanical keyboard world, with some of the better known designs being the ErgoDox and the ZSA Moonlander.

Ergonomics is both a function of layout, as you point out, but also the key design because the key design determines key travel, weight, and whether or not you bottom out when typing, which can effect impact on your fingertips and finger joints, in addition to the impacts of layout on your wrists.

You can’t install paid apps and your google account can be terminated at any point for using Aurora store. So it’s out of the question for a lot of people
Both the Wayback Machine and archive.today handle redirects by recording the redirect under the redirecting URL and recording the actual snapshot under the final URL (neither perfectly, though—see below).[0][1] And a short URL that occurs many times in the web will be picked up by crawls in the same way as other URLs. Thus, the effect of short URLs on archiving isn't entirely disastrous. Still, the cost is paid in the long tail of short URLs that will never be archived.

Both archive services have shortcomings of their own related to URL shortening:

- archive.is ironically encourages the use of shortened URLs to its own archived snapshots![0] Its long URLs, which I've never seen used in the wild, are for some reason hidden away in the 'share' menu.

- archive.is stores the original submitted URL in the final snapshot and shows it in the header if is not the same as the ultimately archived URL,[0] but WBM does not.[1]

- WBM mysteriously doesn't work on bit.ly (returning only the message 'Job failed.'[2]), but does work on tinyurl.com. Unfortunately, opaque errors like this are not uncommon with the WBM, errors sometimes as serious as snapshots becoming completely blank years after being taken! Somewhat concerning considering its role as an archive, I'd say. If only the Internet Archive had open-sourced their server like Wikimedia did from the start…

[0] example: https://archive.today/KWDbr

[1] example: https://web.archive.org/web/0/tinyurl.com/3k8mma8k

[2] For example, try http://web.archive.org/save/https://bit.ly/3vO29UB

Aside: It's a bit interesting, considering both current events and archive.is's notoriously unclear ownership (the only common info being the domain's registration to an individual in Prague) that two of the five social media sites in the 'share' menu are VK and LiveJournal. Are those commonly used outside of Russia in recent years?
I’m in what most on HN would consider to be a very rural area, with the closest town having a population of 1,000 and a bigger town of 20,000 30 minutes away.

Home prices are completely out of whack here too - I would guess they’ve gone up 50% in the past few years. Good luck getting anything like what you want either. I bought my home back in 2011 and my one big thing was that I wanted at least 5 acres, but preferably more. I ended up getting a home in desperate need of updates on 15 acres for 180,000. At the time places fitting that criteria in my budget popped up pretty often.

I just did a search in Zillow for anything with more than 5 acres, and all I could find is some farmland, a 40 acre lot that’s mostly swamp for 800,000, and a 12 acre lot that’s somehow split in to 3 pieces for 140,000.

Relatively crappy homes in town that were 100k back when I was looking are now north of 250k.

Just to compare, my parents bought an amazingly beautiful 60 acre lot back in the late 80s on a truck driver and school bus driver’s salary. They then built a huge brick house on it, though to be fair my dad did a lot of the work himself.

My wife and I both have degrees with good paying jobs and there’s no way we’d ever be able to afford anything approaching what they have.
I used to live in a scorpion-rich environment and can attest that a sting should disqualify one from manual labor for a day. I found that every time I was stung though the effects were less and less. The last time I was stung was a minor nuisance at most.

I would advise, if you find yourself living with scorpions, to check your shoes, by shaking them out, before putting them on.
VRPs are extremely complex MIPs so usually heuristics are used. So ortools is probably the best option in this case for cost.

Content and quality go hand in hand; and form defines function. The restriction on content size is going to restrict the sort of games that will achieve reasonable quality. We can probably expect that most of the best games will be short, simple arcade experiences. Which is fine, just don't expect more.
I hear that, I use and like *nix too. PowerShell aliases help a lot. It comes with some predefined, like `gc` for `Get-Content`. The above example could be rewritten:

gc cars.json | ConvertFrom-Json | ? color -eq 'red'

`ConvertFrom-Json` doesn't have a default alias, but you can define one in your PowerShell profile. I do that for commands I find myself using frequently. Say we pick convjson:

gc cars.json | convjson | ? color -eq 'red'

That's more like what my typical pipelines look like.

The nice thing about aliases is you can always switch back to the verbose names when clarity is more important than brevity, like in long-term scripts.

Edit: Seems I've been using too many braces and dollar signs all these years. Thanks to majkinetor for the tip.
> Your point seems kind of circular.

It's not.

> CS can't be dated because you have a list of what is considered CS and your list is a single source of truth.

CS curriculum can be dated, if it doesn't keep up with progress in the domain. It doesn't become dated just because you want to do something other than CS.

(It may be the case that the percentage of working programmers in jobs where a CS degree is a particularly relevant on-ramp has declined; that's certainly true for both EE and Mathematics, but those degrees aren't outdated, either.)

> I was just pointing out that many of the big, required courses in CS aren't that useful. Or maybe not as useful as the professors might imagine them to be.

They are useful, they just aren't useful for the task you want to do, which isn't computer science, or something which requires particular depth in computer science.

Compilers remain useful, as does the skill to construct them, even if it's not the job you expect to be competing for. More broadly, theory is useful, it's just you don't expect to be seeking jobs that are either doing research moving the field forward or building systems that require more than rudimentary theory.

“Not what I want” isn't the same thing as “outdated”.

Cattle theft is a big problem in India. It might sound silly to most people in west but being a still developing(poor) country with major population still being dependent on agriculture, large population owns cattle unlike US/Canada where a small percentage of ranchers are large cattle owners. It is very common for a small family in village to own a couple of cows and a big portion of their wealth is the cattle. Since cattle are not RFID marked a neighbor can easily steal the cows. Police has to regularly deal with such cases in rural India that someones calf is stolen. That poor family was depending on raising that calf or selling the milk for next few years. It is a serious economic setback for them.

I agree that there is a large value difference in an (engineering) degree compared to an (arts) degree. I'm not sure how many people with the latter come out ahead value wise. I also don't think I would argue any value for higher level degrees or multiple degrees in most cases. For what it's worth, my parents were mostly broke at that point - I'm the oldest of five and my dad is a carpenter, this was during the 2009-2012 timeframe. I also was (co-)raising a newborn.
