> Somehow sticks on bricks construction is ok for commercial construction and saves money vs the prefab concrete stuff that was common from the late 90s until a few years ago.

You're not a fan of 5-over-1 construction? Besides the ugly aesthetic (subjective), I think they're great across the board. It's not just about saving money; wood is superior to concrete from an environmental perspective, the more wood you can use the better. With modern fire codes, particularly mandated sprinklers, alarms and and redundant staircases, these sort of wood buildings are very safe.
Jumping to conclusions without much evidence to back it isn't either.
They were certainly not going to skip a version this time and go straight from Windows 10 to Windows 12.
If you have the opportunity, check out the Esopus Spitzenburg apple (discovered in the Hudson River valley). It's really tasty - aromatic and tart.
Not at all. I discovered that Visions of Chaos (originally developed for fractals etc) has extensive support for installing and running ML models

It handles (most) of the installation issues and gives you a GUI. You can however bypass the GUI. Every time you run a command the console shows you what the command line looks like so copy/paste into a terminal and away you go.
At work I have to reject a call on slack and ask they make a "huddle" instead.
A lot of the time, the "build" involves soldering. I don't talk about having "built" my keyboards because I got boards with pre-soldered hotswap sockets -- but even in defense of that, "building a PC" is just assembling 99% of the time, too.
The other day there was an article on HN about Cha Bu Duo. This is it. And it works for quick and dirty hacks. But you wouldn't share those and not care about improvement. You'd put a warning about not using this in production.
I like this - a new perspective. I sense this is compatible, but I lean toward Heraclitus, in that I see (the illusion of) order manifesting from decentralized flux - e.g., quantum fluctuations in empty space. Our best bet to understanding this is quantum field theory, which makes much of my own book redundant, (except the half of it concerning the consequent metaethics). The unity of fields could overlap with your perspective on a cosmic scale.

I want to believe, but I suspect that most 'thinking humans' still (erroneously) subscribe to the general idea of individuation: material atomism and the assumption of individual, existing parts. We have a long, long way to go - the work of metaphysicians has not yet begun, and even scientists are still making the same error in the face of their own evidence (think: the phlogistonistic 'string' theory). Wittgenstein was correct to note that most questions in philosophy have not been sensible questions. The underlying reason is that they have assumed individuation, as a core axiom - a vulnerability in the bare-metal layer. We have assumed this because it is contrary to our observations and (most of) our common experience to do otherwise; it took hard science to demonstrate alternatives, and only 'recently'.

Am I right to say that we both seem firmly planted in a paradigm beyond individuation - even as your view unifies the 'everything' into an individual? Methinks we have different lenses gazing upon the same essence.

My recent scribblings and bibblings are on 'cosmic significance', which may bridge our two compatible views. One question I have is, assuming quantum field theory, and assuming consciousness is a very natural 'thing' in the cosmos, how, if at all, are these associated? The possibility that they are seems more and more reasonable to me, even required, but in ways that I suspect will rightly never match the criterion of the scientific method (at least in my lifetime).

I try to maintain a solid sobriety when dabbling in metaphysics, but these questions persist, and seem reasonable. While I'm sure there are many professionals working on these questions - I'm also sure it is quite clear that I not a professional. However, my mind is quite professional at wandering off into these topics, to return to OP's question!
The piece highlights how the history of crippling debt impacts Haiti right now. In fact, most of the piece is about the present-day impact. Not for the history books.
Same with credit unions. In fact if I were a coop going for a loan, I'd first to go a credit union.

> No artificial obstacles.

There are 2 such artificial obstacles in fact. The first is you can only buy parts if you provide a serial number for the device in question, preventing things like repair shops from having a stock of batteries on hand. For self repair, it also complicates the "help a friend out with a replacement" flow.

The second is the software lockout. Even though you provide the serial number at time of ordering, the battery still comes up as being unauthorized after it's first installed and things like face unlock refuse to work, despite the battery playing no role in security. You then need to call a number and go through a process to get that battery remotely authorized.

Both of those extremely artificial limitations are completely bullshit moves on Apple's part.
I live near Indian Point, recently shut down. They tried thorium back when it was new. It cost too much then. Nukes of any stripe are not competitive now, and get less so every year. Thorium cannot save them.

Solutions that rely on a steam turbine generally lose to those that do not. A need to fool with fuel and security cost even more. Account for the disaster insurance subsidy and decommissioning cost, and they come out a marked drag on society.

That is, if you manage to complete one before it gets cancelled because renewables are already doing the job more cheaply than it can. We do better not to spend the initial $billions on what will never produce any marketable power. No such money is ever returned.

A nuke that runs only at night costs almost twice as much per kWh.
I mean, SPAs were overkill for half the shit they were being developed for. Your average web app is a CRUD app and works better as an SSR app. But there's still use cases for them, they're still a great way to build highly interactive cross platform apps.
Please explain how to do that? It seems easier said than done!

Yeah, I find 99% of the web is fine but the exceptions are jarring. Fedex tracking is totally broken in Firefox. Quite a few sites still struggle without 3p cookies, which also affects Safari. Slack has some issues. It's also come up a few times while looking for a Google Docs replacement—several options are effectively Chromium only, which is ironic when you're only looking at them so you can avoid Google products.
Since I haven’t seen this mentioned. It has been remarkable for a temporary solution to let me sleep when my tinnitus is particularly loud.

Basically cover your ears with your palms and snap your index fingers loudly on the back of your skull. 40 or 50 times and when I remove my hands, it is blessed silence for at least a few minutes and often long enough to fall asleep.

When I consider stuff like this I look back on my own experiences in life and it is easy enough to see that an ordinary person or group of people can cover a lot of ground in a short period of time on foot.

From the west coast of Alaska to the east coast in Maine it is about 5500 miles. Moving 10 miles a day it only takes 18 months. Even if you only lived for 30 years back then there is plenty of opportunity for a single individual to have made the entire journey on foot allowing lots of opportunities for seasonal pauses or to delay progress because they liked the new digs better than the last place they stopped.

A reasonably adventurous person could easily have seen most of the continental US in a lifetime especially when you consider that boats were part of their skill sets. Even moving as a group you could easily traverse the continent settling for short periods wherever things looked promising.

I will have to look up the Vail site as I am not familiar with that one. I know there is the Buttermilk site in central Texas (Gault site) that has yielded dates in the 16000-21000 yr range as near as I remember.
For buyers of new devices that may be true. Yet I've sold plenty of phones I had bought second hand (after years of my own use), and those with user swappable batteries are far more likely to be reused without great expense. More so if they also have an SDcard slot to minimize wear on the soldered storage.

As phone features plateau we should strive to make them last longer and avoid unnecessarily consuming tons of new material every year. (IIRC a single iphone consumes like 0.5 tons of materials to go from the ground to the pocket.)
> If they don't, the website is broken.

The Internet is a network with social effects. Whether "this didn't work" means "the website is broken" or "the browser is broken" has always been more about end-user experience and the wisdom of crowds than a more concrete definition.

A website broken only on Firefox works for 96.5% of users. I have personally had to make the hard judgment call (as a fan of Firefox!) to not spend 25% of our engineering debugging time on a problem only 3.5% of users encounter.
Very interesting. Within France, would a tech coop typically be structured as a SCOP?
> eventually converged on "smoking causes lung cancer", even though that wasn't agreed upon at the beginning because monied interests disagreed.

tangential "Fun fact":

The origin of the phrase "correlation does not imply correlation" comes from Ronald Fisher, the father of frequentist statistics, defending tobacco companies. It's unknown by many people but Fisher was an aggressive shill for tobacco in his day and argued that the strong correlation between smoking and lung cancer was not adequate statistical evidence to show any relationship. Fisher, to this day, being one of the most respected minds in statistics held a lot of weight with his opinions and is very likely a major reason why it took decades for legislation to make any progresses in this area.

As a stats person it's one reason I really hate that phrase. Of course there are events that have correlation without causation, however the XKCD hidden text [0] is a much more accurate phrasing:

> "Correlation doesn't imply causation, but it does waggle its eyebrows suggestively and gesture furtively while mouthing 'look over there'."

You make it sound that the "suffering of their fellow citizens" is somehow the fault of Ukraine's leaders, and they should just surrender to Russia's interests, which would somehow would end the suffering?

Also the "snubbing another", i.e. Russia is quite the victim-blaming. Ukraine snubs Russia, which it has the right to do, therefore Russia is allowed to invade?

Also Iraq and Afghanistan were attacked by the US, which according to your words means the leadership there should have just surrendered to the imperialist USA instead, instead of caring about "politics".

I've spent probably close to a decade using Gerrit with various sized teams, and in the past few months I had an opportunity to work with Gitlab (so the MR/PR model). I've found that I definitely prefer Gerrit (and this feeling is shared by my colleagues). I think it boils down to following reasons.

Gerrit is a CR tool only (OK, it also hosts you repositories) and I've found that its UI allows me to focus on the code being reviewed much better than Gitlab. There are multiple maybe small things (navigation patterns, keyboard shortcuts, they way the information is provided) but all together make a tangible difference, one of reason being that reviewing someone other code is not an easy one and any obstacle will make it more mundane and lead to very shallow reviews.

I've found that a commit-based review process (although it is not enforced, i.e. a developer can push whatever number of commits and then ask for a review/assign reviewers) is much (much) better than the PR/MR model. I think it nudges developers into a) more though-out commits, b) smaller commits, c) pushing early and getting early feedback. Probably the fact that we are working with a bit unnecessarily complex branching model now makes things worse, but even without that I think that an effort to push changes (especially smaller ones/small fixes/small improvements) is (much) smaller in Gerrit.

There is one oddity with Gerrit, namely so-called 'Change-Id' (the way Gerrit tracks new revisions) - nothing unmanagable, but it probably will make you trip a few times at the beginning. And likely you will need to learn Git a little better (in general you will need amend/rebase to apply changes after your colleagues commented on them). If you are using any of JetBrains IDEs there is a very good plug-in, which also allows to easily fetch changes you are asked to review. All in all in the past decade we were able to on-board all new hires without much pain.

I still like many other bells and whistles provided by Gitlab (and likely Github), especially build pipelines. I would like to find some time to try to 'integrate' Gerrit with Gitlab - Gerrit can easily push changes to other Git repository, so I can imagine it would be possible to plug into build pipelines etc. etc. Yeah... so many things to do, so little time ;-)

Edit: One more thing - it is mentioned by fishywang below/around - I've just read his comment and facepalmed about myself why I didn't listed it as well - tracking comments/discussion/changes/revisions/diffs - this may be the biggest advantage of Gerrit - really, maybe I don't know how to use Gitlab properly, but this aspect there is really weak.

Agreed, 7 was the last Windows I felt had more to love than to complain about. When 10 entered a silly update failed - keep retrying failing updates just to fail again loop I just said nah not worth it and switched permanently to linux mint. It was the last straw so to speak. I was supposed to install an update manager and use it to install updates instead? Bleh.

You can get a ton of old, abandoned, or unsupported, software from Archive.org. I have no idea if the original authors are aware of it but if they are they don't seem to care that much.
By the way. The tools this guy used are common, dead-common in China. Go to any repair mall in Shenzhen and you’ll see hundreds of these.

This is an issue with hobbyist electronics projects in the US. The US hobbyist market is still using 1970s packaging technology - 0.10 inch pin spacing, solderless proto boards, and through-hole parts. I designed a hobbyist board that was all surface mount. Smallest parts were 0.5mm pitch. Although a few people built it, I got a lot of complaints. Surface mount is beyond most American hobbyists. Even though 0.10 inch through-hole is obsolete commercially, and modern parts come in surface mount only.

That said, Apple's aesthetic inherently makes things hard to open. Glass on both sides and minimal bezel is what Apple fans pay for. It forces a heat and suction disassembly process, which requires proper tooling to do right.
This is absolutely my thought.

You're ignoring ecosystem lock-in, which Apple is extremely effective at (eg, iMessage's "green bubble" bullying).

Regulation fills the gap when freedom of choice & ease of movement isn't actually viable for most people. See also search engine regulations, even though the barrier for using a competing product is much lower than it is for switching smartphone ecosystems

Also in this case you're ignoring the bigger picture of the entire industry is incentivized to be "anti-consumer" and hamper repairs. Right to repair isn't about Apple, it's about everyone. Nobody is going after Apple specifically, they are just the leading example. Samsung, Motorola, etc... are all offenders here as well.
Carbon sources will have been long since priced out of the market before you could finish building a nuke.
Often, just changing the user agent string so that Firefox appears to be Chrome will let those sites work. I.e. they work fine in Firefox, but are restricted by user agent string checks to reject that browser and/or OS.

There are several plugins for Firefox that make this easy.
This is a bad take, because Apple has shown how they do this with the App Store and it their behavior there was far uglier than providing high-quality, albeit bulk and awkward, repair equipment.
Well, they may not be binary categories but it's stange that you don't think your particular example belongs to one of the two categories.

What if I have a legally bought copy of WinXP and therefore have a"working" product key?

What if I installed a copy of WinXP from my CD with my bought key and it doesn't activate because WGA servers are long offline?

Same, but I use any WGA activation hacks?

Same, but instead of MS copy I used "Delta Edition" distrib?

And by the way, "working" in quotes because even if you have the key - the product key itself doesn't mean nothing except the way to allow installation process to succeed. It even doesn't guarantee what it would accuse you of pirating the said software (see WGA).

Most black children in America receive the “talk” early on. It teaches that our skin color bears a stigma & that as individuals, we must learn to manage fear directed to us by society or perish.

It’s not a lesson that sinks in until you experience it but some young men only get a single chance in practice.

And these situations will come:

- being miscast as the villain by a stranger with a hero complex

- a neighbor reports you as vagrant that “doesn’t belong here”

- matching a generic description of a random suspect (white t-shirt and jeans)

- a late night traffic stop with a visibly nervous police officer

Even during these rather tame scenarios, there is no room for hesitation. You put on your best acting face and try making strangers comfortable with your existence.
Asking about the new one or the old ones?

It would be good to know what the new one tastes/feels like.

As for existing methods… well, could be a thousand different flavours and textures. For example, and obviously this isn’t what the people in the article are doing, I often use molten cheese to seal tortilla wraps in my home cooking.
Repairs can be pretty easy when you pay someone else in a shop to do the hard part for you.

In my case, replacing my iPhone battery required no tools at all after I paid the Apple shop to mount the new battery in the phone.

The internet is decentralized. At the same time, 99% of the internet traffic passes through 15 or so tier 1 networks.

Being decentralized doesn't mean that there are not huge entities which control most of the system.
Cloudflare is the one putting up the captcha-wall and deciding whether to forward your request to the destination site. Your browser sends Cloudflare a token, then if Cloudflare accepts the token, it forwards your request. The destination site does not see the token and so cannot use it to track you.

Since Cloudflare does see the token, it's reasonable to consider whether Cloudflare could deanonymize you across different sites. Privacy Pass uses cryptography that claims to prevent that.
That's too bad. If you didn't make that call it would probably have larger market share. What you've done actually feeds in to the problem.
Prefetching content means you can literally load a new page instantly without rendering anything but the new content. It is inherently faster once the initial page has loaded, and the JS no longer needs to be all that large to accomplish it.

Like any technology, using it in the right place helps. This is great for documentation where the template and content slots are super consistent, for example.

There are places it’s not a great choice. It isn’t inherently worse, though.
Yeah, I agree with that assessment.
