A recent discussion on this at my work was centred around the notion that large phones don't generally fit in women's clothes pockets (when they have pockets), as the pockets tend to be smaller. There seems to be an inherent sexism in phone design (and clothing design, and many other things).

> And before we continue, let’s make it absolutely clear that we have no control of the color of the text in this very article, as it is hosted through Medium.com, which features poor visual accessibility of their site design.

Sorry, but you don't get to excuse yourself with that. The text/background in your own post is awful, as others have already mentioned. Medium is a notoriously bloated platform, with their ad heavy and JS heavy pages producing a generally poor user experience.

No one is forcing you to use Medium, you could easily use GitHub pages, SubStack, or any number of other, better options. Options that allow you to control your own CSS. By continuing to use Medium, you are saying (basically yelling) that you really don't believe in what you're writing, at least not enough to do anything about it.
> I have the same issue with cameras. I want a low cost IP camera, but don't know any that can be trusted to only stream to where I want.

There are literally no IP cameras that you should put in a routed/gatewayed network. All Chinese (there are like three OEMs behind all of them) ones phone home (and have tons of vulnerabilities anyway) and all enterprise ones strongly, strongly recommend you to use an isolated network. IP cameras is one of those cases were an isolated network needs to be used.

Theres also the annoyance of actually powering the thing on and off in the first place, which must be near universal. As it is, I use a USB "fake-battery" and just disable that. But its still something I have to manually do instead of the OS just "activating" it.
It might be immoral, but if you're trying to make money using their service I can't see there being a legal reason to prevent them doing this. I meant, they (Google) need the money right? Companies like this seem to get to the point where they feel justified in charging for every little thing that wouldn't kill them to give for free.

"you cannot eat apps or drink code when you're hungry: and I can assure you will be the first to break when you haven't been fed for a few days or have to ration food/water since you've been accustomed to a lifestyle that simply doesn't reflect reality.

> so at least default to the user global preference

I'm actually kind of annoyed at prefers-color-scheme, and the inability to control it as a user in my browser.

I have my Windows set to dark mode because I prefer how Explorer and the rest of the Windows UI looks in dark mode, and I want my OS chrome to be less distracting and to just "fade away". However, all web browsers see this as a signal to tell every website I would prefer them to be in dark mode also, which is not correct! I wish I could set chrome itself to prefers-color-scheme: light (without having to use the dev tools on every website).

This just seems like such a poor take. Can you imagine being a gimp dev and reading this?
That is not true.

In fact, if you just boot FreeDOS 1.3 in VirtualBox, you'll see it detect the virtual NIC, load a TCP/IP stack and acquire an IPv4 address, then report it.

It is mostly developed and run inside VMs these days, AFAICS.
I'm sure it will meet the latest requirements on passenger safety, emission regulations. Och and automotive cybersecurity standards such as ISO21434 and UN-155.

> At some point Linux distributions should just admit defeat for this kind of software, recognize that the Gimp and co. are just hobbyist software, and accept the real world and endorse commercial software for these use cases.

Aren't they already doing that? I think commercial software has been targeting Linux almost since it came on the scene, simply because it made eval easier. Ubuntu distributes lots of nonfree stuff. If you count the enterprise (and perhaps depending on how you count that), I think it's possible more commercial software runs on Linux than on any other operating system.

But I can certainly agree there just isn't very much good commercial Linux desktop software. Do you think it's possible perhaps too many Linux desktop users consider price to be the biggest reason they use Linux (or assume, reading comments like that online that most users anyway) and so there just isn't any money to be had?
They present the fact that it's hosted through Medium.com as if that was an immutable law of nature. Other websites exist.

By hosting the article at Medium.com, despite their objections to how Medium.com constrains the article's appearance, the author is demonstrating that they don't consider their own argument particularly persuasive.
Does 'protected by android' mean 'not protected at all'? I feel nothing like safe while using Android apps, I really have to use a blank phone (without contacts, photos and SIM) for applications I really forced to be in (one smartphone for messenger and for youtube, and another one for banks and our government application kind of digital passport).
So, how much would we be willing to pay for an Android distribution that runs on the iPhone mini?
I’ve gone through this process for my email client Kanmail [1]. The third party audit is not required for email clients that run on end users computers and store credentials locally.

Which OS? On my system (Windows 11) the official Spotify client occupies about 300 MB on RAM when just running songs from a playlist.
So change the website theme to light mode? I use dark mode, and am happy when websites are served in dark mode (and I think the majority are this way). I think you're likely in the minority, and the easy fix is just to switch the websites you use to light mode.
>>Cameras must be as good as Pixel 5 -- must have great low light performance
>>2 rear cameras (regular and wide angle)

Upgrade that to as good as Samsung S22 Ultra w/10x Optical zoom; also great macro capability, so make that 3 cameras.

>> 128/256gb Storage
Fine, but I'd also like to see removable storage

>>4 hours Screen On Time (SOT)
I'm looking more for 6h - I'd rather have a thicker/heavier device and longer battery

While I like my smaller Samsung GS8, I'm upgrading to the S22U and not the smaller S22 specifically for the camera and bigger battery (and the fact that the GS8 is no longer supported with upgrades). I'm not sure how I'll like larger form factor, but I'm sure I'll love the larger screen too, so trade-offs.

EDIT: Basically, I want a full set of top-of-the-line flagship features in a small form factor.

It used to be that smaller was extra, as it required more engineering, not smaller is cheaper like kiddie-plate food portions. I suppose we'll have to wait until the foldable formats become more unbreakable/reliable and they upgrade all the features to top-of-the-line.

Yeah, I'm still using an S7, similarly purchased second hand. Hardware is great. Have recently installed LightROM on it to get a more up to date Android, and it works really well. I tried the latest LineageOS for a brief spell, and it performed beautifully except that voice calls had the robot-voice issue that plagues Samsung phones (thanks proprietary drivers!)

Sigsum vs. Sigstore a frequently asked question
I have spent _years_ trying to build things like this and only recently have made some headway. The problem with most solutions in the space is the inherent SPoF that comes with having them in the access path. As someone that has been woken up in the middle of the night to deal with outages within our access management systems, I _do not_ want the service that is in the path for an incident resolution to be a single point of failure that I then have to debug. Excited to see how this is built, and very excited to see where it goes.

Not to mention that the perspective siliconescapee boils down to "You could buy X off amazon today" which is not even possible for loads of people, as Amazon doesn't operate in many countries, and there are plenty of countries where Amazon doesn't even ship to. Then we have the 10% of people who live in poverty and wouldn't be able to afford ordering it anyways. Those are the groups that would be most helped by a device with these characteristics as well (easy maintenance and low ongoing cost).
Yes no problem at all, however Microsoft is more focused on the DMARC policy so something like this a good idea:

So what's your specific advice - to stop searching for "software developer who gets clear requirements" and instead search for "software developer who gets vague requirements"?
Yes, but that's not quite my point.

Also - those mean very different things.

First - Canada has vast natural resources, which are like 'easy money'. Japan can't rest on the laurels of digging money out of the ground. This actually might be keeping Canada from developing institutions.

Second - Government Spending is counted as GDP, which is a fairly odd thing because it's a measure of cost, not value. $1 in Gov. spending could create $10 in value. Or it could create 50 cents. We don't know. Sweden has huge levels of government spending so it's hard to say what kind of value is being created there. It makes all measures of GDP quite difficult.

There are a few estimates of total books ever published. Those range from the 40 million or so within the US Library of Congress collection to a Google estimate from a few years back of 140 million books existing, with about 2--5 million new ones published per year.

Bowker, the US issuer of ISBNs, has registered roughly 300k new titles annually, since at least the 1950s, and beginning in the aughts, about 1--2 million "nontraditional" (self-published) titles.

In straight text, assuming 250 pages of 250 words at 8 bytes/word, 40 million books works out to about 20 TB. This is a likely close to the lower bound as there are texts with image and other content which bump this value up. It works out to about 0.5 MB/book, which in my experience is too low.

At 150 million books, we'd get 75 TB, and at 200 million, 100 TB. Nice round numbers....

A more realistic per-book size is 5 MB. This is typical of a mostly-text, formatted PDF. At 40, 150, and 200 million texts: 250, 750, and 1,000 TB.

A data-heavy / graphics-heavy book might weigh in at 20--100 MB, though those tend to be less common.

Scanned-in books with both page images and OCR text typically run about 5--10 MB. The largest I've seen (a copy of Lyell's Geography was >300 MB.

Apple has offered iPads with > 1 TB onboard storage for at least several years. This seems to be the higher end of available tablet storage. (For some reason, the Cloud-and-Surveillance-oriented Google skimps with many devices still at 16--32 MB. Remarkable, which also went Cloud, tops out at 16 MB.) If fully devoted to texts at 5 MB each, that would offer storage for up to 200,000 documents, roughly the size of a well-stocked municipal public library.

As to how many public-domain works might exist, the 1927 Report of the Librarian of Congress notes that the Library had assigned 4,503,164 copyrights over the preceding 57 years (presumably 1869--1926), the time in which such registrations were the work of the Library. Those works should all presently be in the Public Domain, and would total 22.5 TB at 5 MB/work.

Annual report of the Librarian of Congress yr.1927, Washington, Library of Congress; for sale by the Supt. of Docs., U.S. Govt. Print. Off., p. 22.

https://babel.hathitrust.org/cgi/pt?id=uc1.a0013520523&view=...

The Library of Congress's total holdings was 3,420,345 million as of end of FY 1926 (p. 23 ibid). Presently, works published prior to 1 January 1927 in the United States are in the public domain.

An additional roughly 1 million maps, 1 million volumes and/or pieces of music, and ~500k prints were also in the library's collection as of 1926.

A full set of the Librarian's reports, dating to the 1860s, is available at Hathi Trust. From at least the 1950s, annual holdings and aquisitions are broken out by Library of Congress classification, which makes for some interesting data, for those who find that sort of thing interesting.

Paper isn't typically a pure "#FFFFFF" white and if you'd bothered to read the article instead of rage quitting after the sub-heading you'd realise that the article is advocating exactly the same point you are. Let me quote it for you:

> On a light or white background, body text should be black. In many cases it is more appropriate to reduce contrast by darkening the background. As an example a white #FFF background is really too bright for comfortable reading, a background such as #e8e2dd provides a less fatiguing background.

Show HN: Natural Language Processing Demystified (Part One)
Hi HN:

I published part one of my free NLP course. The course is intended to help anyone who knows Python and a bit of math go from the very basics all the way to today's mainstream models and frameworks.

I strive to balance theory and practice and so every module consists of detailed explanations and slides along with a Colab notebook (in most modules) putting the theory into practice.

In part one, we cover text preprocessing, how to turn text into numbers, and multiple ways to classify and search text using "classical" approaches. And along the way, we'll pick up useful bits on how to use tools such as spaCy and scikit-learn.

Which completely changes the picture. The conclusion is completely wrong. The only reason AMD loses in the comparison is because their comparisons measure who's the best and then count how many times it's the best.

If you look at the top graphs of this 2022 comparison, then there are plenty cases where AMD is in the middle, but doesn't take the top spot.

Also since this comparison is newer, maybe it should replace the link in the topic.
