A simple font selector would be nice. I have some seriously impaired vision w/o correction and monospaced fonts really help when I have to look at a screen that way.

That and ability to zoom in/out or increase/decrease font size.
It seems to me that to do something like this, you'd need the people who stand to benefit most financially to regulate against their own financial interests. The public interest should come first, but it rarely seems to.

Real but Still Unexplained: Congress Holds Its First UFO Hearing in 50 Years
Yeah, maybe 4% is all one could manage to withdraw to survive the longest downturns. I haven't dug into that much. But, people are maybe debating different things - some are likely talking complete early retirement whereas my comment was more about "financial security" (or at least the claim it's "basically impossible to stay in the Bay long-term unless you make an absolute fuckton of money").

For me, financial security means something more like: money will be low on my list of problems. I could get more money by turning my attention there. I might have to work, but it could be some low-stress job, and losing it isn't a big deal. I could afford extra care for an elderly parent. I won't be knocked out by most random things that pop up, specific to my personal life, though I can't control what happens to my country etc.

For some, it means they don't have to work at all, and can't be ruined by market downturns that last decades. And further for some others, it means they can survive wars and societal collapse.

I think both are valid to wish for, though at a certain point it's a burden on yourself to control things you can't control. If there's a 1.1% chance of widespread nuclear war in our lifetime, and you want to be 99% certain your lifestyle won't take a hit, one needs to save and spend a ton to be able to weather it all.

Litestream allows scale up application architectures whereas Postgres allows scale out architectures (by only scaling up the database portion instead of also scaling up application servers).

It's basically the same thing as monolith vs microservices but extending monolith to the data persistence layer. With horizontally scaling apps being the predominant architecture right now, I don't really see Litestream changing much.

If you're going to horizontally scale Litestream with a multiple writers you're going to end up introducing all the network and synchronization pieces Postgres architectures already have.
Even the small phone user base is probably fragmented between people who want a lower cost phone and people like me that want the Pro or better, just smaller.
A more interesting comparison than with Coccinelle is with semgrep (https://semgrep.dev/) since it also supports semantic/structural pattern matching over a number of languages, but also adds in a bunch of Boolean logic into the mix, as well as some more advanced semantic features like constant propagation.

Curious whether the teams behind these tools are aware of each other? I suppose it's unlikely that they're not.

It's relatively common to use "anymore" to mean "nowadays".

I think it must have come from hearing things like "They don't do that any more" and not recognising "any" and "more" as separate words, but rather as a concept that just means "now", such that "They do that anymore" is equally valid.
Why on earth would you do that?
> After some complaints, Apple produced a smaller version of their phone but they market it as one with less features (smaller battery, smaller processor, etc).

iPhone 12 and 13 minis are the same hardware with smaller screen and battery than their iPhone 12 and 13 (non-pro) counterparts. Are you referring to the SE or something? Even the SE has been getting upgraded processors with previous generation screens, cameras, etc.

The minis have been flagship specs in smaller packages. If the smaller battery thing was to be a knock on Apple for making it inferior, how do you suppose you fit a full size iPhone 13 battery into that mini frame with all the other internal hardware the same?

I'm genuinely curious if you've measured this, and how you determined the impact of twitter on your business.

It's certainly possible that other people have different success with twitter.

In my case I was looking over thousands of websites traffic history primarily concerned with long term patterns of growth based on activity among different social channels, SEO, news aggregators etc. The vast majority of sites primarily saw permanent growth in traffic as a function of SEO success. One high ranking article can get you a increase in average traffic that can last as long as you're on top. The only sites that didn't benefit from SEO are buzzfeed-style sites that exist solely from a constant stream of traffic coming from new articles in news aggregators. But Twitter doesn't generate a substantial burst in traffic that reddit or other sites do. Plus if you're popular on reddit, you will be reposted to twitter without any effort.

I should add that when I discovered this I was unhappy about it, as I was currently spending a lot of time on Twitter promoting my own project. I really enjoyed twitter at the time, and it felt like I was succeeding. I wanted all my tweeting to be a valuable activity. After doing the numbers I periodically would just stop using twitter for months with zero impact on website traffic.

Wild, I've never heard this suggested in relation to the "climate debate."

Wouldn't this explain a large percentage of the variance in weather? It also aligns with flight as an industry growing, and it's demonstrably shown to be caused not just correlation. Hmm.
That's true if you're going by what's expected of you.

People do get to live their own lives though. I wouldn't know if the subject of this article regrets it, or if it was worth it for them.

Some of the best people in history believed in their own grand purpose strongly enough to just say "fuck it" and ignore the doubters. Some of the worst people did the same though too, so :shrug: .

> What good is “change failure rate” if you can’t even jump-to-def across your code?

Exactly. Organizations often focus on the externally visible factors without considering the day-to-day of a developer productivity.
If only we spent more time to refactor/maintain and general tooling instead of more status updates and unnecessary processes, imagine the productivity we could achieve..

At Google we had this simple problem yet it halted our entire team's productivity: IntelliJ started being insanely slow indexing files and auto completing stuff. It was a mixture of generated code and the monorepo that made it take tens of seconds for any kind of autocompletion. It's been there for years but there wasn't much priority to fix it, so things kept going (and probably still keep going) like this...

Surprising, given that Binance is a crypto-banking platform competitive exchange.
In Japan, they also use this tactic to sell other media with anime. There's a certain IP in manga, light novel, or video game form, and it gets a season of anime which presents just a sliver of the full story.

I use something similar to stream video from a Pixel phone over USB to OBS (Droidcam). I tried doing it over WiFi but the latency is better over a wire.

It just doesn't add up. They tried covering up in Wuhan and that failed miserably. After the initial wave most China went basically without any restrictions, even with Delta which was much more contagious and deadly than the Wuhan strain. There's just no way that went around without anyone noticing.
I have an iphone SE 2016 because I too felt that new Androids were too big, switched in 2019. If too many people are upset at the price maybe you could have an Android Mini-a like the Pixel line.

I had the first Pebble and have fond memories. I have high hopes for this!!!! I also love hardware but I never made it stick for work. I was one of the first engineers at Mesur.io, but things didn't work out.

My other thought would be to make this highly configurable; there is a large cohort of HN crowd who also want an un-Googled Android phone, myself included. There are no un-Googled small android phones, however with Project Treble many of them can run GSIs such as this most popular one https://github.com/phhusson/treble_experimentations/releases . Of course Lineage OS deserves a mention, maybe you could ship with that, build on what the community already offers.

The Unihertz line of phones deserves mention, but also scorn; they do NOT support their old hardware at all. The Jelly had 1 update to Android 8.1 and was left for dead. Additionally the system updater software included in the stock ROM was spyware. So unfortunately they were written off in my book.

Finally, I would like to see band 71 LTE availability for T-Mobile in the US. It really makes a big difference in the sticks. Unihertz does not support that, and for that reason I am sticking with my iPhone SE 2016 for the moment (until I find a small Android phone....)

Can't wait to hear more!
I had a similar setup, and it was a pain. It was flaky and clunky.

I switched to a Logitech Brio, and have been very happy. It's almost just as good, with no hassle. Highly recommend for anyone looking for an upgrade without wanting to go all-in.

Eh, that's a transient concern. Seems like M1 is going to force the entire ecosystem to support ARM sooner or later (laptop manufacturers are going to start supporting ARM to keep up with Apple, and the software will have to follow suit). Windows and Office already support ARM.

> But no PCI, no SATA, no external DRAM

Why not? Do mobile ARM chips not support those things? I know the RPI compute modules have PCIe.
Yes, I am in the same boat. I started using Logseq when I switched to linux as my primary workstation and could no longer use OmniOutliner.

I used to focus a lot on structuring and organizing things properly before. But after I started using linking, tags, ref embeds etc. more I found that I was more productive by just quickly dumping specific things into poorly organized isolated notes, and adding headers, cross-linking/organizing/merging them much later if they survive.

I later learnt (to my surprise) that people had written whole books about similar methodologies (zettelkasten etc.) but yet to sit down and explore any of them.
Doubling the population would almost certainly increase the average standard of living, as there would be more people to create said standard.

Malthus was wrong 80% of the population ago, and he still is wrong today, for all that he continually finds new followers.
I wish our governments acted like it, instead of pushing for constant population growth "for the economy".
I would like to have the ease of use of a webcam (plug it in via usb and it works), and the quality of a dedicated camera. And a possibility to make some presets (focus, zoom, crop, white balance), that are on by default and can be switched easily.

It doesn’t have to be perfect, just better than a standard Logitech Webcam. If it would be in the quality range of an iPhone camera, I would be super happy.

Any ideas what to buy?

Your describing social media as something that happens _to_ you.

You should probably make it something you _choose_ to use. Too political rant? Skip it. Video of nothing relevant? Skip it. Your cousins photos? If you know they're not for you, why are you consuming them every time they drop?

You choose to take your hands of the wheel, of course your going to be taken for a ride.

the missile in TFA only achieved fivefold the speed of sound. Russias Avangard moves at twenty-seven times the speed of sound. thats faster than the re-entry speed for the space shuttle endeavor. it also advertises a newfound maneuverability.

Americans under-estimate their adversaries sadly quite often. when the TU95 bear first arrived during the cold war era its specifications were habitually lowballed by analysts until it appeared on radar over Canada. When the RQ710 was deployed in Iran with the same arrogant impunity, it was intercepted, landed, and dissected. heck, we spent about two decades insisting we could depose a cuban leader and just as long insisting we would "win" against the taliban.

and when the united states assumed china incapable of a cryptographic advantage, the nation summarily identified and executed more than a dozen spies thanks in part to dismissive hubris.

In the very late 90s and most of the 2000s, I hung out on qbasicnews and eventually moved to the freeBasic community. I even learned "basica" (basic advanced) from an old IBM 5150 computer originally. A lot of the reason I do programming professionally is because of some of the mentoring I saw in those communities, filled with lots of smart and friendly people. A good friend of mine and myself learned QBasic together, and played a lot of QBasic Mayhem ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oHIAMF-EKWY ), it was so cool. So many good memories around qbasic.
Dolphin Progress Report: February, March, and April 2022
Interestingly, the iPhone 4 is physically not much smaller than the iPhone 12 mini, but has a significant screen size bump. I was curious about this because my old Droid Eris had a 3.2" screen and I was curious how it physically measured up overall. It was slightly smaller than the iPhone 4. The idea that I have something, now, that is not that much bigger, but with so much more screen is super interesting because I had wanted to go back down to something small like that, and this is likely as close as I'll realistically get, and it's not that bad!

My suspicion is, based on various bits of info I've seen, iPhone 14 won't see a mini and the next SE will be based on the current mini. They have been upgrading the SoC in the SE but not the camera nor the screen, and I bet they want to get that bumped up to something more modern. So this form factor/size may not be all that lost. Here's hoping, anyway.
Nobody? I'm sort of in the same boat (I quite dislike video calls), but my extended family (from young to 60+) have started during pandemic and now continue to video call each other quite regularly - including group video calls.

As I said, not my preference and I rarely join, but for example my wife does video calls almost on a daily basis. So the "selfie" camera seems to be increasingly an important feature for the regular user.
Something very similar is done on smart contracts to introduce randomness (at least to the practical extent) on blockchain. Good thought experiment nevertheless to provably inject randomness into a system with untrusting parties.
Even for streamers, audio is _much_ more important than video. You can have a potato webcam and get by, but if your audio sounds like crap nobody is going to stick around at all.
They have 3.7k employees, which means by the end of the year two thirds of the employees would have been there less than a year. Did anyone ever go through a similarly extreme hiring period as an employee? I can't imagine how disorienting it must be.
This is interesting. Why drummers? I know programmers are drawn to music and languages as other interests, but you seem to have something specific in mind.
I have no idea if this is true, but one story that I’ve read about Joseph Kennedy Sr. (JFK’s father), is that he took all the dirty tricks he learned on Wall Street (and on which he made his family fortune) and essentially traded that knowledge for political power becoming the first chairman of the SEC.
How much of Japan's declining birthrate has been due to 30 years of stagflation? I only ask because seems to be where the US is headed economically. Is a declining US birthrate on the horizon?
I also really like the algorithmic feed. Though it's interesting that you like it because you check it infrequently - for me, it works because I check it often, so it's "close to chronological but with extra surprises" which I like.

I think the algorithmic feed actually does a good job of promoting the things Twitter does well and I wonder how many people who hate it actually just disagree with the Twitter devs about how the service should work.
Oh, it's definitely worth the read.
> It will leave it up to the states, which will decide democratically. This satisfies nobody.

Not wishing to be unnecessarily provocative, but if each state were to have to set the policy isn't it likely it would be that which is most popular in that state?

Wouldn't more people be satisfied overall? Even if some states end up hating each other a bit more ... than they already do

You are agreeing with me. An attacker that has broken sha-2 would pretend to be a miner, not mint trillions of bitcoin (which is not possible as you say).
These embedded devices have needed something like UEFI for well over a decade now. Back in the old old days when they shipped with 4MB of storage for Kernel, OS, and application it made a bit of sense to have everything stripped to the bone like this, but storage is so cheap now that even bottom of the barrel hardware ships with 64MB. There is plenty room for a standardized boot and hardware discovery process, yet nobody seems to have any interest in actually implementing it.

I still have my Thomas Guide from the 90s in my car. Looks like Thomas Guides are limited to LA and San Diego only nowadays, but it's not going away soon: "California state legislation says that every police and fire vehicle must have a Thomas Guide on board. Fire roads often aren’t on GPS, and ambulances can’t get lost, as every second could be life-saving. They often buy laminated copies too, as they get so beat up.” (https://www.latimes.com/entertainment-arts/story/2021-12-07/...)
DeviceTree is just a simplified ACPI really

Yes, and no. DT's as used by these arm boards are basically reflections of how the linux kernel works on a given platform. A device driver developer needs to make a decision, say about how fast to program a clock divisor, so they then need a clock driver, and a device specific set of attributes that match 1:1 with the code paths in the Linux kernel which are making platform dependent decisions. When another OS comes along the attributes change because the driver model is different. This is visible in linux as its own model evolves. The systemready/ACPI specs tend to require more self describing buses (pci/usb/etc) where the devices are more fully encapsulated behind the bus, and things like power/clock management are either standardized by the bus interface, or via the standardized ACPI methods. AKA, putting an ACPI device into a low power sleep state is the same across every single device/platform because ACPI can notify some other firmware/management entity to perform the work rather than trying to fine grain manage the process.

So, your right, DT is a subset of ACPI, but its only really capable of HW description. So all these platforms (like the rpi) end up with proprietary ways of getting their management (the GPU in the case of the rpi) engine to perform platform actions. And that's needed because all these arm SoCs now have processors/etc that aren't visible to Linux because the model is no longer just about a central CPU doing all the work.
This isn't so surprising, given the massive demand. People have less faith in institutions to protect them and so therefore there is increased demand for self-defense.

And the population is growing which also helps, I imagine.

The portion of the article I can see not having an account doesn't say whether their metrics account for weapons purchased by governments, but even so, I'd expect the number of guns made to have been rapidly growing.

About mach 8, but then you need to actually hit your target.

For ground based targets that's probably fine (in fact for slow-moving, armored targets kinetic-energy penetrators are already a thing). For anti-aircraft fire the goal is to get "close enough" that the explosives will damage it.
Could you give a link to docs on that? I visited https://kdeconnect.kde.org/ but didn't see this feature mentioned.
