Some of it is. But phone chassis have slowly creeped up since 2012 or so, a few mm per year, to the point where there really aren't any phones in the small category any more. IMO the Nexus 5 is larger than I'd like -- something the size of the Nexus 5 screen is closer to ideal. I've been using the iPhone SE 2016 for years now, hoping for a worthy successor, and the situation has only gotten worse for many years running now. The Pixel 4a was the last phone that came even close to meeting my requirements (one-handable, fingerprint sensor, headphone jack), and it's going to run out of security updates next year.

With the amount of financial stimulus that governments have done in the last two years, in the event of a bank run there are possibly finance ministers who would simply print the required money and drop it from helicopters on the mobs waiting outside the banks.

Apple's limited success is not only a factor of the screen size but also market positioning. The mini is inferior in some specs to other iPhones but at the same time really high end as far as mobiles in general go. That makes it a niche product even if screen size was not a factor at all.

It targets people that have plenty of cash for a flagship but are willing to forego the top tier specs for a smaller size. Apple prefers you just buy the pro. And if you don't have much cash you can get the reheated 2017 iphone 8 with SE slapped on it :)

I bet if they made a mini T the price of an SE with a more limited camera and screen spec than the current mini it would take 50% of SE sales away.

What does this mean? ARM needed to scale back their number of contributors because it was migrating to GitLab? I'm not sure how that can be great marketing?
Something maybe more worrying is that you can see in the financial results of Coinbase that they invested into BTC themselves, and there is threshold where they would lose funds and likely have to liquidate BTC aggressively :/

Gamers have their clans too and people can get kicked from that. You can get mic banned or worse too for being too flagrant. You can lose real money if microsoft bans you and you had a bunch of digital games for example. In sports its not like all the interactions are going to be moderated either. Sports are pretty notorious for talking crap about the opposition, but it can get much worse than just talking crap. I heard a lot of terrible racist things too during my time in high school sports just 10 years ago, from players and parents. There are a lot of nasty people out there and they perpetuate those views on their kids.
I find it strange when people make broad declarative statements about a social media platform. There is no singular Twitter experience any more than there is a singular "America" experience or "web" experience. Twitter is a vast heterogeneous sea of semi-overlapping distinct communities. My Twitter is not your Twitter. I'm happy the author "got" their Twitter but they way they got it isn't how mine works.

My mental model for Twitter is basically like a giant cocktail party. Imagine you're hanging out and you want to find a couple of cool people to talk with. You've maybe got one or two people you know around but you want to meet some new ones. So you throw out a joke or tell a story to them, but maybe just a little bit louder in case it perks someone else's ear up because you have something in common.

Over time, you find yourself in a corner of the room surrounded by your tribe, having fun, telling anecdotes and connecting. Throughout the night, people come and go in the group, but it has a vaguely stable vibe of certain common interests. Every now and then someone totally random wanders by, joins the conversation, gets a little confused when they don't get the weird in-jokes, and wanders off.

It becomes a great evening because you discovered some new people you have a lot in common with.

That's Twitter for me.
> US missile defense system, which the US doesn't really even have

Uh..Missile defense is a massive part of US Navy doctrine and is pretty much the primary purpose of every Destroyer, Cruiser, and soon Frigate in the Navy at this point.

Without a doubt, the Aegis system and THAAD are the direct reason for these developments from China and Russia.
I mean, are these not doppelgangers?
When I bought the 13 Mini, it wasn’t even an option on their /iphone landing page. I only saw it when I clicked into the store.

Thank you for taking initiative on this! As a 5'5" woman with small hands, I haven't had an android phone that I could use with one-hand since my Nexus 5 (which I used for 5 years straight). The current android flagships are unwieldy even with two-hands for me, and it's been just a quality of living downgrade ever since my Nexus 5 broke. I'm not into apple products myself, but I know many other women swear by the iphone mini since it's the only phone that fits their hands.

Data (and all resources) cost money per time. You don't need to add new data to an S3 bucket to get a bill every month because the existing data accrues charges.

The billing scheme is very transparent and friendly by being pay-as-you-go. It doesn't "fuck over the customer".

Your entire complaint isn't about the pricing scheme but about an additional feature to stop billing at some point - which I've explained is not easy to calculate precisely because charges accrue on time and adding even more complexity for calculations and potential for mistakes is not worth it for the many reasons I outlined previously.

Of course not, is that the only outcome you think is possible here? :(
Whether it's UEFI or U-Boot loading the DeviceTree blob doesn't really matter, no? A correct DeviceTree matching the drivers which ship with a given kernel version is still necessary.

The big problems are when:

* The DeviceTree is incorrect but works anyway because the peripheral drivers are ignoring it.

* The DeviceTree is correct but the peripheral drivers had to be patched to work.

UEFI doesn't seem to do much here, no?

And even moving to ACPI doesn't really change anything - DeviceTree is just a simplified ACPI really, if the ACPI descriptors and what the peripheral drivers do don't match up, it still doesn't work.
I think you are completely incorrect when you say that a 5-15ms ping advantage doesn't cause a massive effect in a game of LoL. Even the greatest player of the game (Faker) mentioned the difference between "35"ms and the near 0 that Korean players are used to playing.

Low ping is part of players' muscle memory in how they react to visual signals. Changing that slightly creates a big difference, especially in the early and mid game where the outplays are less strategic and can often be more mechanical.

Even in later game teamfighting, the familiarity with latency between key/mouse input and actual in-game movement is mechanically intense (ex. auto-spacing in a close teamfight)

The same logic holds at mach 5-8 (ie current hypersonics), which is why they’re being developed:

I 100% agree. I have a decent video and lighting setup and never get comments on it, but I always get comments on my audio.

It's fairly easy to get an audio interface and a xlr microphone. I always appreciate when other people have clean audio.

Hmm. I think it depends on the application. Defense isn't HPC, right? They can probably get by on 22nm or so for most applications, so GlobalFoundries might be able to handle it.

Or, heck, Texas Instruments might be able to handle some chips (obviously they aren't cutting edge on the digital logic process node side, but they so all the funky analog stuff and they'll keep making a design for, like, a bazillion years, which may be appealing to the military).
I think they are trying to get the price of crypto to drop.... to be able to buy back .... I dropped Coinbase long ago, they manipulate the market too much (I.E.: You can't sell if price drastically go up, etc)

This shouldn't detract too much from your point, but for fighting games the situation is slightly different from most other genres:

Modern fighting games, as well as older ones that have been modded to included this (such as Melee), have a netcode model called "rollback" that can negate network-induced latency on local inputs. The trade-off is that what you see is usually inaccurate until you receive inputs from the remote player's machine.

Despite fighters often requiring fast reaction speeds, this downside is not a big deal granted that the ping is low. The first few frames of many actions are generally quite subtle, enough that they are quite hard to distinguish from each other; it's usually specific keyframes/poses that people will actually be reacting to.

Melee is probably hurt the most though, as movement is extremely fast and very important, and the difference between wavedashing left or right is not masked by subtle animations.

Seriously, OP, if the technical team is just you, pick something you already know and can work with. For me, that would be Django. I can't say what it would be for you.
Latency and audio quality are wayyy more important than video quality.

Optimizing for that would have me downgrade the video resolution being received by the 8-10 people on my calls.

Also what are the folks on the receiving end actually seeing? Certainly not the image he posted.
Moreover, even if Aegis fails to intercept it, the manoeuvre to avoid the intercepting missiles in the terminal phase at hypersonic speeds means a huge miss, at least for conventional warheads.
> I must admit, the _art_ of writing readable code really appeals to me and is one of my finest joys in programming

One of the best compliments I've ever received was when a team member told me I created the most beautiful looking code she's ever seen. This was from both a pleasing to the eye and ability to grok perspective. The latter was mostly due to naming things in ways that made their purpose obvious and avoiding the temptation to do as much work in a single line of code as possible.
> I have a hard time understanding why so many people want them to be two different symbols.

Neo-Nazis have spent years spreading misinformation about this, because (ironically) conflating the two allows them to use Nazi imagery more openly and with a greater degree of plausible deniability[0]. Unfortunately, that means that the vast majority of people who don't know any better[1] end up falling for the propaganda, because it sounds believable.

[0] You'll see a low-effort verison of this on places like Twitter or other Internet forums, where people will write U+5350 in their display name or signature, and when called out on it, will immediately claim that "it's religious and you can tell by the direction it's pointing" (which is wrong). Of course, actual Neo-Nazis will openly use that exact character (U+5350) as a Nazi symbol with no concern for the direction or orientation - because, again, it's not about distinguishing the two; it's about creating plausible deniability through confusion.

[1] eg, people who are not Hindu (and therefore would be familiar with its religous use) or Neo-Nazis (and therefore would be familiar with its Nazi use)
Skin color isn't race.
I grew up in a firmly "independent evangelical" household. What that meant is we believed Catholics, Lutherans, Mormons, etc, were all various flavors of Sinner, Idolater, and False Prophet. The bible was 100% true, every word protected by god through the ages. Sunday and Wednesday's were filled with hours and hours of listening to overweight preachers struggle to draw a correlation to 3 out-of-context verses and whatever mortal sin they were railing against that day (it was never, ever Gluttony. Usually some sex thing)

In my experience the Bible is only hard to understand when you're frantically, desperately trying to extract a per-determined result for your modern day problems out of what are fundamentally the oral traditions of dirt farmers.

When read as a historical piece of combined fable, family history, nation history, and oral tradition, it's an interesting if hard to follow book. It's obviously written by dozens of writers at different times. Reading different translations reveals obvious bias of previous translators, making it more interesting when viewed as one of the worlds longest-lasting games of Telephone.

If you're going to take it as advice for life, well, look around you. Dozens of different religious, many fighting for centuries because their interpretation of dirt farmer words is better than yours. And they'll kill you for it too.
Because we all know that police always operate within the law and would never lie about coercing a suspect to unlock their phone.

It depends on your access pattern, if every application is write heavy to the same data set, this won't work. If every application is light on writes and those are mostly local (like for many SaaS companies), this will work fine with the future Litestream that redirect writes to one db and then distributes the data (if you can live with slightly stale data). Also depends on the size of you company. Slack does 300k/s messages, this won't work :-)
I agree. And you don't even need to spend much - I picked up a Fifine K669B usb mic for $25, and the thing records absolutely fine.
You are obfuscating. The distinction that matters is if there is an intent to threaten people into compliance with a policy position of yours by creating a piece of legislation you know to be unconstitutional or not. It seems pretty clear to me that this was indeed the attempt.

> The Women on Boards law, also known by its bill number, SB826, called for penalties ranging from $100,000 fines for failing to report board compositions to the California secretary of state’s office to $300,000 for multiple failures to have the required number of women board members.

> The Secretary of State’s office said 26% of publicly traded companies headquartered in California reported meeting the quota of women board members last year, according to a March report.

As you are probably aware, it is a common legal strategy to avoid setting a precedent for some dubious legal claim you know you would lose in court but that is an effective way to coerce others. This works for patent trolls for similar reasons why it likely worked for the state of California (because a lot of times a rational actor would rather comply rather than incur the often greater costs of fighting even if a win seems near certain). It's also quite different from passing some dubious law which plainly states that it does not currently apply and why, as a symbolic act to some constituency. For what it's worth, from memory I don't think all anti-abortion legislation has been mainly symbolic like this, I think there were also cases where legislators tried to coerce people with laws they full well knew would be ruled unconstitutional.
And some of these might never be stalled. repeat after me, macroeconomics is not a hard science. There is no clear mechanism for experiment -> observation -> inference and every single new treatment has no previous precedent since conditions are changing.

I think it's possible, if marketed correctly. I'd 100% pay more for a smaller phone, I'm desperate at this point. Imagine a campaign advertising a phone that doesn't get in the way when you work out at the gym, or go for a bike ride, or when you're doing yardwork. A phone that you can use on the subway, or while walking around. A phone that doesn't constantly suck you into Facebook or TikTok or whatever social media you use.
>I think it's also because they don't deal with complexity as well as younger programmers so they strive for simplicity (which is good).

Yeah, I'm going to have to ask for details here. When I was a youngster, it was the older folks who were my guides through the forests of complexity, especially when it came to interconnections between things, unintended side effects, and far-ranging consequences of design choices. When I got to that ripe old state of being 40+, that was my role as well.

You mean as in Vulcan and games, or rendering? Linux is your best choice unless you are using some Windows first framework like Unity. (AFAIK there is no OS X first one.)
(not op) Empathize yes, but I would encourage people to try as much as they possibly can to change their viewpoint from envy to joy. I think that's a healthier solution than hiding from it.
So we better define a maximum phone width instead of a maximum diagonal display size. The aspect ratio changed from 16:9 to 19:9 or longer over the years, but the “extra” display area is the space that was occupied by hardware (sensor) keys for navigation, which you still had to tap … That leads to longer diagonal sizes per se.

So phones are not really getting longer in aspect ratio (except for some VERY long Sony phones), and they got more display area because of less thick edges. Naturally the mathematical diagonal size is larger, but that is a moot measurement compared with older phones with their 16:9 displays.

I am comfortable with everything less than 70mm width, and because the aspect ratio is kind of settled on 16:9 + navigation keys (or 19:9 complete display), the length is naturally restricted to ~150mm or less.

My A40 has 5.9" but still only 142 to 69mm in size. It does not feel like a 6" thing from 2017, and the reason is its small width and weight. Unfortunately, most new phones have width from 75+mm and weights of 190g or more.
You mentioned EdgeDB in the blog post, too, but I just think you and them are dealing with different problems.

My understanding of EdgeDB is they're mostly trying to make correct data-modeling simpler and more intuitive; to let people model relations in the same way they speak and think about it, rather than having to map to SQL concepts like join tables. I rather like what they're going for, though I haven't used it.

EdgeDB seems to be mostly for business logic and OLTP. They're not trying to deal with arbitrary incoming data that might be outside of the control of the ingestion system. You wouldn't even have an ingestion system with EdgeDB.
I wouldn't categorize this as the biggest, unless you consider the US, or even urban/emerging US markets, as encompassing the whole world.
