my dream would be a small linux phone (probably a couple years down the line once the software is a bit more stable), but I would settle for a small android phone as a primary device, to stay a bit more realistic in terms of market share. while we're sharing pipe dreams, i would love a physical keyboard like the n900 as well. i used my nexus 5 for 7 years or so, when i replaced it i didn't even realize there no longer were any phones of that size at all.

I don't even need premium, i just want anything at all. I really do hate my current phone, i can't even type on it properly with one hand, it's too big. I may begrudgingly end up replacing it with an iphone, the only reason I haven't yet is that it's locked down and I would miss f-droid, and the linux compatibility sucks. but of course android has its own problems (namely google trying to squeeze as much data as possible out of you, and making it as hard as they can to turn off the various settings related to that buried in different setting sub-menus)
I appreciate making a post that ends in failure. Worthwhile to document your progress for others, as well as acknowledge that we don't always figure it out.
There is actually an argument to be made for trying to deliver high quality content at the lowest acceptable bitrates. First, most people won't know the difference (ie: my parents), and second it seems like high speed internet is still the exception in many places.

In my old apartment, if I were to try to stream something 10mbit, I'd be hurting anything else trying to use my internet connection. I spent about a year trying to get office staff to work with the ISP they had an exclusive agreement with, and the end result was apartment staff didn't want to put in the effort and expense to upgrade the building. When I moved out, I made sure to move to a house with access to gigabit internet, and it was amazingly difficult to get. I don't live in a podunk town. I live in a major metropolitan area.

Poor quality was one of the reasons I, myself, opted to buy and rip. I paid for the lifetime Plex long ago and used that until Plex got too annoying and started requiring internet to function. I still keep a Jellyfin service up for content that I want but can't get streaming.
Sharing content you enjoy feels good - piracy reinforce social bonds !
Nice collection! I’ve never seen the S3000 in person, but from the photos I’ve seen it looks amazing. Love the orange plasma on my IBM PS/2 P70/P75!

Any chance you might be willing to help out by sending me some firmware or logo data? For the little B&W logos it could be as simple as typing “sun-logo 200 dump” at the ok prompt.
These "slow iPhone 13 mini" sales are more than all Google Pixel phones sold in a year. Think about that.

I don't understand when did the ability to choose a product fitting your preferences become a bad thing on HackerNews and modern American perception. Why is being able to buy niche products somehow not a worthy thing to be desired?
I'm actually really curious what effect playing fast, twitchy games will have on things like reaction time as one ages. Would be interesting to see long-term studies on the subject.
> The values of the person managing the company and the perceived values of their customers (societal values) have informed that decision.

That is literally what 'the market' always means.
> you pay 10 a month for spotify

Actually, I self host nearly all media I consume. And I own the bits much more than anyone who is paying for streaming services, buying lossy MP3's, and letting control over their life be licensed away by corporations.
I want a flagship Sidekick-style phone :(
That's happened to me... Right now I've got around 12 reusable fabric bags that I've had to buy at some point when I needed to buy groceries but didn't have a bag handy. I am now thinking what to do with some of them (maybe some type of LED lamp shade)
"This criticism is usually applied to MMT. MMT says that in times of inflation you should raise taxes. Nobody is doing that."

Except that it doesn't say that.

The basics of MMT analysis is that put forward by Warren Mosler in Argentina recently. [0]

- Floating exchange rate

- 0% interest rates and no further issuance of public debt

- a guaranteed job for all at a fixed living wage

Taxes are very much secondary in MMT analysis. The stabilisation comes from government refraining from giving people free money for doing nothing, which is what paying interest on debt and reserves represents.

"As Mosler tirelessly repeated in his expositions, the price level of an economy, and therefore its level of inflation, can only be explained by the price that the State is willing to pay for the goods and services it needs to supply itself. This especially concerns the price of labour reflected in wages, since the origin of all goods and services is socially embodied human labour. "

IIRC, LineageOS support for US Samsung devices with Snapdragon CPUs has always been very limited. Rooting them is difficult, if not impossible, and I seem to remember that doing so blows some kind of fuse in the device itself which then irreparably caps the battery on the device to like 80%.

Given that the S10e's battery life is already waning, I'm not sure I want to do that. But yes! If there were a safe way to do so, I would gladly run LOS on the phone for ten years.
The more interesting question would be what problems has economics solved?
My interpretation of your original post was that you were saying spending $45 a month on this project illustrated that he has a problem.

Is that accurate?

How does the fact that he could be saving money support that?
The hope here is that this new team member is going to stick around for a while and contribute new insight to the team. Since he's senior I hope you hired him so you could learn from him.

You might want to have a meeting with this new person, his senior peers on the team, and a manager who can oversee and referee things. Talk with him about the stuff he wants to change. If everyone agrees that his ideas are good then you should talk about how to incorporate his ideas into the code.

As a senior person he should understand that simply parachuting in new style to existing code can cause problems. On the other hand you should be willing to find places where these improvements can be added appropriately, perhaps in new code or bulk refactoring that would happen anyway. You want him to feel that you are on his side so this new style should be the team's new style, enforced by everyone where appropriate, and not just his thing. If you review a PR for new code, you'll want to make sure it conforms to the new style, and say it like "following our team's style for new code, class X should be split in two because of reason Z" and not "please split class X in two because that's what NewGuy wants, you know how he can be."

If you just say no to his ideas even if you agree they are good then he might become unhappy and, if rejecting his ideas becomes a pattern, might end up leaving.
Probably very little if it is built on top of CoreAnimation, since that set of OS APIs is extremely heavily optimized specifically to enable animation-rich UIs that are light in terms of CPU and battery use.

Azure is the absolute worst, consider moving to AWS once you run out of credits (and maybe stop at GCloud before that to pull the same trick).

Keep everything in docker + some cloud agnostic orchestration layer so it's easy to migrate to other clouds (or even to dedicated).

I have experience with all of the clouds and I'm never going to use one. They are ridiculously overpriced and they get way more expensive the bigger you are. What other arguments do you need?
I've seen mediocre startups doing the same and ending up with a 1M/y AWS Contract while pulling very little money - and eventually scrambling to move everything to physical servers.

If you're going to be a unicorn, it may be worth to pay lots of money to the cloud because it will be a tiny fraction or your future profits - if you're unlikely to hit that, just roll something up on Hetzner. It's not that hard, and literally what people did for a decade before AWS. I've never been purely a devops guy but I've been rolling my own servers for 15+ years; I understand not wanting to deal with hardware failures (they happen and you'll waste lot of time) but a dedicated / VPS is as hard as running things on AWS EC2.

That said, it's a lost battle.

Most technical leaders are dead on the cloud and some even think they're saving money. It's the same with scrum, microservices, performance not mattering or other nowadays myths.

But you can see how some people may not think this way when they go online and see that seemingly everyone they've ever met is doing things that they can't afford or aren't able to do? If you can't relate, fine I guess, but what's the point of just saying "these problems don't affect me"?
Some years ago it was farmville that wasted people's time.
(wazero maintainer) no this doesn't really help with that. This runs wasm in Go, regardless of which language compiled to wasm. TinyGo [1] is the most popular option to compile Go into wasm, and they have some instructions for web browser embedding.

We can check that after 4 years in prison Bobby Sands weighted 155lbs.

Check 5 demands 9f the hunger strike.

Nothing about food or medical treatment.

British prison certainly was no joke (solitary confinement as a punishment i.e) but not exactly a gulag.
I think there's a significantly greater than zero chance that they simply botched their ML pipeline horribly and would get their 0.98 AUCs from completely blank images.
There are a couple of orthogonal ideas in there, so I don't know what you're referring to. That economists isn't a science? That most economists are propagandists? That human societies tend to form a pyramid?
I think this is the most convincing benefit, the uncommon skills.
The point is that 5% (or 10m phones) does not make sense for Apple to continue to build, but that has no relation to whether it's worth it to another company.
> “oh phones are too big I just want something simple”. That is a valid sentiment that I think is shared by basically no average consumer. For a lot of people, phones are their primary computing devices, so a big screen is nice there. Bigger phones allow for more battery capacity.

My way of dealing with it is two phones. Besides my smartphone, I still use my more than ten-year-old Nokia when I do not want to take the big smartphone with me. Of course, it only has phone, SMS and a clock. But I usually do not need anything else when I go for a walk or meet up with friends. I just want to be reachable in case there is a problem.

Its old battry still lasts quite a long time, and I have it switched off most of the time anyway. So I can go 7+ days without recharging.
Good thing you have all those "data hoarders" to leech off of when you wanna download something tho...
> It's not a "flagship" but it is fully featured - nothing spared - and half the size of my palm

How does it compare to the palm phone PVG100, usually available for 1/3 of the price? (new but in OEM box)

It seems much thicker.

Also, which network are you using?

With synology the NAS and torrent software is pretty plug and play? I boot it up, plug in some hard drives, and click yes a bunch and it's there now.

Wait, so they charge an _actual_ transaction fee in addition to whatever "gas fees" are already in place?

Does it go faster than 25kph ?

Does the motor work if you're not actively pedaling ?

Does it make more than 250w ?

If you answered yes to any of these you need a valid driver's license, an insurance, a plate and mandatory helmet.
Only keep data or metadata of important stuff is a better strategy I think.

Why would one need to keep a copy of a film like the Lord of the Rings movie when it is so easy to download? Why would one need to keep metadata of having watched LoTR? Forgetting is a feature since it allows our minds to disregard insignificant stuff.
Same thing here. I’ve ended up with two places I exclusively check for news: AllSides [0] and a satirical news source of my choice.

AllSides helps me frame big events from multiple perspectives. I’ve always had a hard time seeing these perspectives, so having someone else do it for me helps.

The satirical site introduces me to assorted current events with a bit of lightheartedness. If it seems important enough, I’ll do a quick search to learn what the “real” news is.

With this setup, I am not as well-versed in all current events. However, it’s much less draining, and it also takes less time out of my day!

> What we have now is just a new hype-cycle, with new apps, new technologies and a new mix of features

You contradict yourself. Is it "just a new hype-cycle," or is it "new apps, new technologies, and a new mix of features?" If it's the latter... isn't that substantively different than what we had before?

Outliners have quite the fandom, but my issue with the traditional outliner is that they often trap data in outline form. Sure, most good outliners offer export options. Unfortunately, the second you've taken data from your outliner and exported it, you now have two versions of your data, and you've lost.

Logseq (and Obsidian) have changed this. Finally, a single document _is_ an outline, a backlink, a data source, a webpage, a presentation, and so on... The only thing the user has to do is work with that single page of information.

It's more than hype for me.
Deadweight loss refers to a net reduction in consumer+producer surplus within the economy.

It has nothing to do with the everyday meaning of the term “deadweight”.
If the bitcoins can be withdrawn at any time (i.e. without a notice of withdrawal), then these deposits are just like a current account, which means they are considered a component of the circulating supply of bitcoins (what we would call M1, if bitcoin was a currency).
Clearly not enough to warrant a production line, otherwise there would be some offerings for it from some Android maker.
I think there is a legitimate concern here though. Discord, slack, etc have made it IMPOSSIBLE to get asynchronous help. Discord and slack and the other tools can help with this by allowing search engine indexing for these large public chats.

Heck even github has been fucking with crawlers indexing issues and PRs. We literally now have websites that go and make a copy of github issue and make themselves indexable so search engines can pick them up.

I legitimately don't care about privacy issues with these platforms, my only issue is that they've made self learning so much more difficult.

5% of 100 phones is 5 phones.

5% of 200,000,000 is 10,000,000.

5% can be a huge number, or a tiny number, depending on what it's 5% of.

I switched from Android to Apple specifically for the iPhone mini, and if they killed it, I would switch to the smallest phone on the market.
Facebook, Coinbase, all these companies publicly announcing hiring freezes. There should be plenty of other tech companies and non tech hiring, but will this soften wages?

An ANA can be negative even if you have Lupus. It is rare, but his is one the the problems? Is it rare because it is rare or because they are not testing for it?

https://www.hopkinslupus.org/lupus-tests/lupus-blood-tests/

"In fact, only 2% of people with lupus will have a negative ANA. People with lupus who have a negative ANA test may have anti-Ro/SSA or antiphospholipid antibodies."

The current protocol is that if your ANA is negative they will not look any further. See figure 2: https://ard.bmj.com/content/78/9/1151
Oh man, that thing is _adorable_ and the price is certainly right.

You're grossly overestimating the cost of managing infra for a small to mid startup. You can serve A LOT of customers with very little tech. Especially if your code is not a pile of crap which waste tons of resources for no reason.
If you're the 1% building wrappers around syscalls and IO, you're gonna have to think carefully about all these failure conditions.

Meanwhile, the other 99% of IO-invoking code gets to benefit from the syntactic sugar of `defer`.

Nice! While this doesn't go as far as I'd hope, it's good to see increasing housing supply being taken up as an actual political goal. Multifamily housing has entered the overton window.
> In the hypothetical where that's what he wanted to do, maybe he's hoping (or even knows based on conversations) that one or more of the companies that agreed to finance his debt will say "sorry not any more, now that Musk has tweeted about a bots problem"?

Again, that makes absolutely no sense at all. Elon Musk signed a contract that either forced him to execute te merger at the expense of tens of billions of dollars, or at best a no-questions-asked escape hatch at a price tag of a billion euros.

Does anyone remotely sane would ever risk losing that sort of cash just to peek at the number of active users of a social network?

Ridiculous.
Haven't celebrities have always had to be careful of what they say and write? Seems like that's always been a risk to obtain mass-market status.
If the iPhone mini is managing to capture all of the "I want a small flagship phone" market, it's worth it. As long as the Mini exists, it's impossible for other manufacturers to try and compete.
The thing most anti-coiners don't understand is fiat, how that scam works.
I'm OK with this. I won't want to be stuck working with women who are miserable because of menstrual pain. Even if they don't lash out at others, knowing that they're still on the job despite being in pain doesn't exactly do wonders for my morale. Seeing coworkers mistreated doesn't motivate me to do my best work. It only serves to confirm my suspicion that not only does my employer not give a shit about women, but probably doesn't give a fuck about me either.

Honestly a subreddit right now is a better choice.

Mainly cause it gets indexed. Who knows if reddit is going to keep it that way though.

Alternatively github discussions might also be a good tool here.
(wazero maintainer) we have a popular allocation example, which shows how GC ends up embedded (really malloc/free) in wasm produced by Rust or TinyGo. You are right that whatever produces wasm, if needs to allocate memory, is doing that by embedding some implementation into the wasm (during compilation).

That article is a bad example of outdated arguments and whataboutisms. Sure, DNSSEC has some issues, but none are so bad that it means you shouldn't use it: It does help resolvers detect various attacks (e.g. cache poisoning, BGP hijacks, MitMs), which is fairly critical for security-minded organizations.

(from that article, that is from 2015 and woefully outdated)

> With TLS properly configured, DNSSEC adds nothing.

This is false. DNSSEC adds address lookup security through response integrity, whereas TLS (only!) adds transport layer security to the endpoint you're connected to (hence the name). If you find a record in DNS with DNSSEC enabled, you know that the response is exactly as the sender intended it to be (and when connecting to the address returned for A- or AAAA-records, you'll be connecting to the intended IP address). Without DNSSEC, this is impossible to guarantee and record interception / MitM would be an attack vector.

Additionally, "With TLS correctly configured" also implies CAA being set up, which only can be done securely using DNSSEC. As to why CAA must be configured: Not all CAs are made the same; and re-routing network traffic is fairly doable if you only need to target one of the many public CAs. Targeting only that CA allowed in the CAA record is presumably much harder.

> Securing DNS lookups isn’t a high-priority task

> DNSSEC’s real job is thus to replace the TLS CA system. This plan is called DANE.

No, DNSSEC's job _is_ to secure DNS lookups. DANE is only one scheme that is made possible by DNSSEC; Secure CAA checking being another.

> Real-world DNSSEC therefore relies on RSA with PKCS1v15 padding.

Correct, but also relies on Ed25519 and P-256. A lot of authorative servers are still using the legacy RSA keys, but another lot is using P-256 and Ed25519 too.

> [sections] DNSSEC is Expensive To Adopt / Deploy

This is partly true, but any security is expensive to adopt/deploy. DNSSEC is fairly easy nowadays, though, with many hosted DNS services providing some form of DNSSEC.

> DNSSEC doesn’t secure browser DNS lookups.

It would, if you allowed your browser to recurse.

> DNSSEC is Unsafe

> Authenticated denial. Offline signers. Secret hostnames. Pick two.

That's fine. Secrecy doesn't add security; Authenticated denial and Offline signers do.

> DNSSEC is Architecturally Unsound

I disagree with the conclusion here. Sure, it might be useful for US gov to be the writer of the spec, but what public scrutiny DNSSEC has had implies that the security part is sound.
The Pixel 5 was just right IMO. I upgraded to a Pixel 6 after the fingerprint sensor had problems. The first thing I noticed was it was too big. I liked the size of the five much better.

Private repositories can only be used by the Git Actions runner for that repository. For a monorepo, this works fine. If you have any semblance of microservices in their own repos, orchestrating CI/CD and other build/artifact processes is a nightmare. Internal repositories allow the Git Actions runner access from any other private repository, meaning you can have one repository for all of your git actions that can be neatly called from any other repository (private or public) in the org.
