List of smaller Android phones with decent specs:

Pixel 5 - 144.7 x 70.4 x 8 mm

Samsung S22 - 146 x 70.6 x 7.6 mm

Zenfone 8 - 148 x 68.5 x 8.9 mm (could be higher thanks to narrower body)

Xiaomi 12X - 152.7 x 69.9 x 8.2 mm

Samsung S21 - 151.7 x 71.2 x 7.9 mm

Sony doesn't produce phones, but remote controls. Their software is nice clean, but their camera is pretty bad, might as well buy Zenfone 8 if you don't mind camera.

Never had an issue with a EPUB on a kobo or a Nook reader, I clearly never tried any edge case.

Not saying there might not be any issues with EPUB but the fact that in 10 years they can't be bothered to add at least a basic reader for me just mean they want to keep this incompatibility and keep people in this separated ecosystem with amazon/Kindle. I believe this choice is anything but a technical one.

Since I never had much trouble using Calibre it means I'll probably never buy a Kindle just because of it but many people can't be hassled to do that.
while it is clear that Bello borrowed the text from the blog, she did paraphrase it to a good degree. I struggle to call it plagiarism, but, yes, I would have definitely cited the original source.

The thing with plagiarism is that it's either (almost) verbatim or it's not plagiarism, because, otherwise, everything is plagiarism. That's how culture and ideas work.
None of that exists in a vacuum.

The salt has to go somewhere, and brine (concentrated salt water) is harmful to the environment and wild-life. I imagine the only effective way to handle it is to designate a deep water area that is politically acceptable to 'sacrifice' and pump the output entirely to that site. This is of course going to be extremely energy intensive and also will probably leak frequently as earthquakes and ship anchorage destroy the pipe.

Any form of thermal based power generation is going to have similar issues with it's cooling water (which is required in the heat differential that produces useful energy). Cars have radiator fans and waste heat from the engine for this exact reason.

Radical changes to reduce the quantity of water lost to current uses are probably required. I suspect one of them might be to boil the hell out of some of the waste treatment water that's clearer, or even as a distillation method, and send it off for use in recreation field watering and some farming where that makes sense. Lawns as a decorative feature or social status symbol should be banned. Greenhouses and Solar Updraft Tower hybrids ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_updraft_tower ) might be a required conversion for farming regions.

Norton Utilities for DOS came with a program called NCD (Norton Change Directory). It was a full-screen replacement for the CD command, you could browse through the filesystem to get to the directory you wanted, then it would exit and return you to COMMAND.COM's prompt, with you already in that directory. That worked because under DOS, the current directory was system-wide, [0] not per-process, so a subprocess could change the parent process' current directory. On Unix systems, and the Windows NT family, the current directory is per-process, so that doesn't work any more.

Now, you can implement the same idea on Unix–but it is more complex. You need to define a shell function in your .profile/.bash_profile/.zprofile/whatever. That shell function then executes the external change-directory program, and passes the destination directory back to the shell function somehow. The shell function then actually changes the directory.

What if shells had exposed some kind of standard API to their subprocesses? Maybe something as simple as an environment variable containing the path to a Unix domain socket which accepts a simple text-based protocol. You could then implement an NCD-style command, by having it send the shell which called it a request to change its directory. That way, you would not have to install such a command by modifying your profile and restarting your shell, the command would just work the first time you ran it.

Similarly, there are a lot of tools out there for supporting multiple versions of development tools concurrently (Environment Modules, venv for Python, nvm for Node, conda, etc.) Most of these tools work by manipulating your shell environment. Since, on Unix, environment variables are per-process, and a process cannot modify the environment of its parent, you have to install some shell function in your profile and restart your shell before using one of them. Once again, if shells exported some kind of "get/set shell environment" API to their subprocesses, these kind of tools would work the first time you ran them, without any need to modify your shell profile.

[0] Actually, in MS-DOS and Windows 3.x/9x/Me, there is both a system-wide current drive, and a separate system-wide current directory for each drive – Windows NT family's cmd.exe simulates this by using a hidden environment variable per a drive to store its current directory, but that is a convention which only cmd.exe supports, the rest of Windows knows nothing about it.
What if you just want to create art by mixing vector/bitmap elements? It sucks to not be able to create something because your tools restrict you from doing so.
Wikipedia doesn't have it wrong per se, it's just that it can't have two articles by the same name (Ireland the island, and Ireland the nation, only one of those can be at /wiki/Ireland), so I guess they opted for Ireland to mean the island, and then the page for the country is /wiki/Republic_of_Ireland...

However! That page makes it clear that the name of the country is Ireland:

Ireland (Irish: Éire [ˈeːɾʲə] (listen)), also known as the Republic of Ireland (Poblacht na hÉireann),

since Ireland there takes precedence.

In conclusion, I think it's just a technical limitation.

No, this is not the fundamental meaning of an index, it is simply the interpretation that you are using to make it easier to deal with for you personally. In my opinion, the fundamental meaning of an index is a number referring to element number `n`, so that `a[1]` is the first element, etc. But I don't begrudge you your working definition.

For some reason, people who are used to 1-based indexing generally recognize that both interpretations are perfectly fine, and that each works well in different contexts. For some other reason, people used to 0-based indexing feel so intellectually superior that they are unable to see the other side of the argument.
Yea, it's paraphrasing. But it's still a terrible way to write. Bello's version even contradicts itself giving 8 AD as the beginning of plagiarism, not the origin of the word. That's what happens when you paraphrase by reshuffling the words instead of creating new writing from the information that's in your head.

We had a few years of Angular with jQuery and before that it was very much only jQuery. jQuery was loved because it provided a common and good API across web browsers. Some people used backbone js but that was rare.

Before jQuery, the most fancy projects used prototypejs and http://script.aculo.us/

Before these, I was not doing web development so I prefer to not say anything.

Zstandard Worked Example Part 1: Concepts
For whatever it’s worth as an adjacent topic. I went down the rabbit hole during covid and read a bunch of books on the troubles.

Hands down one of the most interesting topics I’ve come across in years and was one of those times where I kind of assumed in the back of my mind I knew at least the rough outline of what it was about before but after all I could think was how badly I was wrong.

It was also a really interesting read intellectually considering the backdrop of say the US in 2022 and how you have groups forming now who claim to say “violence is the only way forward” while also having this debate about “is it OK to protest out the front of somebody’s house”.

The PIRA were a lot of things to be sure but they were notoriously calculating and rational behind most of their decisions in a way that is particularly unusual amongst insurgent groups. Just watching how that thought process started and evolved throughout the 30+ year war and how society changed around them is one of the most interesting stories I’ve come across in a while and one that’s continued today since the transition to peace and now that they actually have political power for the first time from the election the other week in a way they never had before.

What you end up with after going through the story is this wild set of case studies that cover a whole range of topics that go from theoretical to applied real quickly like justice, political power, morality, propaganda, security and strategy. It’s not wrapped up into a particularly neat package with clear good and bad sides and by the end of it everyone is covered in shit and all anyone wants is to just live a normal life.
CPUs support these instructions for 9 years now. When ignoring these old CPUs, most languages and compilers are usually doing a good job. Example in C which does not depend on any library functions:

double fma( double a, double b, double c )
{
__m128d av = _mm_set_sd( a );
__m128d bv = _mm_set_sd( b );
__m128d cv = _mm_set_sd( c );
return _mm_cvtsd_f64( _mm_fmadd_sd( av, bv, cv ) );
}
I did not: within the praise, I made the _anchor_ explicit and highlighted (not just linked with an hidden locator); the "monospace" feature was used for that purpose (in fact, it did not even seemed linked initially, nor it is now monospaced. Maybe it changed in the editing?).

The purpose: to enable reading the anchor - in this case you want to see it, not just click on it. This is a case when you want '0xax' and 'gitbooks.io' and the rest well in front of you. For mnemonics.

Similarly to why an possibly apparently gratuitous post of praise was issued: to note, "this one can be really worth it, comparatively - here is a mark that facilitates that you check it and not miss it".

As someone who certainly is no web developer I made the error of using tables once. Little did I know about the rules how tables have to be rendered. Try to display something with say 100,000 html table cells. That will inhibit all but the most powerful of machines.

I don't know what causes this exactly. I think it is something about table size calculations being done for every cell you add to the table.

I did want to display a lot of data and with divs the rendering of the page was more or less instant.

>It had never even occurred to me that my storage

Technically, the storage medium itself doesn't require cooling (the NAND flash chips). The issue is NAND does not exist in a vacuum on its own, as far as computer storage goes, but the SSD needs a controller to manage the data I/O from the PCI-Express bus across all the NAND chips and also caching to DRAM/SLC in between while doing various integrity, error checks and trimming in the background, so those controllers need to be very powerful for the insane speeds the PCI-E bus is capable of, being usually multi core ARM chips running a real-time OS with complex algorithms, so of course they run hot when you push them hard.

Hard disks also had controllers to manage the transfer of data between IDE/SATA to the DRAM cache and then finally the spinning rust, but since the speeds were s much slower, those controllers didn't run as hot. However, some HDDs still benefited from cooling as they had a powerful motor spinning at over 10K RPM which made the drives hot.

In either case, there's no free lunch, when you push lots of current through electronics chasing extreme performance, you get lots of heat that needs to get dissipated somehow, simple as that.

EPUB is like PDF.

If you're going with just the very basic stuff: text, maybe a few images - it really doesn't matter what kind of bare-bones reader you use.

BUT when you're opening a PDF that actually uses the features it's a different story. You've got a file with umpteen layers of information that needs to be displayed in a very specific way (I've seen blueprints do this for example). Most bare-bones PDF viewers either choke completely or display everything wrong.

There's two different question here.

1) Why Amazon keep re-inventing the wheel?

As I explained in my original comment, KFX does have technical advantages over EPUB.

2) Why doesn't Kindle support EPUB natively?

Probably because there isn't a need for one, as they are using KFX anyway. Why invest time in something that is only for people who aren't using your platform?
Yes, if you don't care about privacy or freedom you may as well use Discord. That was the point to begin with, so I'm not sure what we are driving at then. Discord should not be used because it's a walled garden with all the detractors that come along with that. There's good replacements for them (even if they don't come with confetti :) ), but because they are not covered in corporate honey folks don't like them as much. To me, that seems really short-sighted. Even if I do understand it.
