I love the progress bar at the top of that page. It is a better gauge of the required time commitment than the "7 minute read" or by glancing at the scrollbar block size, IMO.
Ah really, didn’t know that. Thanks for this tip.
The ceramic one was a 2x2" square 1/4" thick one that had one stuck corner, trying to remove it shattered it, the other was a neo that accidentally jumped up when I put down a heavy piece of steel and that in turn allowed the magnet to start flying towards it, it shattered on impact. That one was a lot larger (2"x2"x1"), and neos are a lot more powerful for the same size as ceramics. In both cases it was to test sets of magnets under controlled circumstances to see which ones I would order in bulk for the rotor of a windmill.

Lessons learned: make no assumptions on whether or not a magnet really is free to be released, do not place magnets loose on a workbench even if they are far away from your work area because when the friction unexpectedly disappears you are going to be in for a surprise.

Don't mess around with very large neos unless you know what you are doing, they can really hurt you. (And when you do know what you are doing: observe safety precautions religiously and always wear safety glasses until your whole rig is assembled and the magnets are safely enclosed).

Something like this just scares me:

It sounds like a Fat FIRE concept that is out of reach of most people. Or at least something the average person would only be able to access later in life.

But you also aren't responsible for all the things that can break. And natural disasters.

I have heard of many renters painting their apartments.
Or a hole in national / international standardization. Just create a further education (like 16-18 typical age) course and exam for it.
No, that's not how it works. If the website (via js or tags) requests that something is called, than your software calls it and you're responsible. The client only runs your software, in this case, HTML & co.

Though it arguably doesn't get enforced anyways, except for some big corps.

This applies for repair part availability iirc. The latest OS announcement was 2017 devices and newer.
Ah, thanks. Also, I don't think I ever noticed before that machine and mechanical are related words, both from Doric μαχανά / Greek μηχανή.
Work could be done to make it more usable. With a phone, it could be a button you could press just by holding it. With a smart watch, it could be hooked into any kind of bluetooth sensor. The point is that in normal society, you don't have that much control over who and what gets into proximity with you, and having a system where anything that does get into proximity can take money from you without you even acknowledging that in any way is just a bad way of doing things.
Is it gatekeeping? They hire so many junior devs, do you not think it’d be possible to strip the team down by hiring far more capable engineers? Would Google crumble if they only hired senior devs like Netflix? I’m convinced they hire so many purely because they have the money and managers want bigger teams to go up the managerial track.

That may be technically correct, but doesn't count in front of a judge. They generally don't care for implementation details but they care for the results. And the result is that you made your visitor talk to google.
Here, by "modern" I mean that it uses modern terminal features like unicode icons, and it is scalable for mobile phone screen.
Judges do not tend to be impressed by technicalities. You're causing the information to be passed to google; the means by which that happens are largely irrelevant.
The only thing I could imagine Apple doing with regards to seeing Linux running on their mobile hardware is further engineer ways to prevent it.

I'm personally hoping Apple A5 devices are able to run Linux too as my iPad 2 is 11 years old, has a great battery and is in good condition but hasn't seen a software update in years.
I can think of some players with trillions of dollars of annual budget that really should do it. They'd favor millions or billions of people whose interest they theoretically represent. Unfortunately, in practice they seem more likely to represent the interests of the few who exploit people's lack of privacy, but there's no reason this couldn't change.
I don't know, but iDevices are more ubiquitous than other phones. It's much easier to source 100 of iPhone 6 than to collect same number of, Nexus ... whatever.
I hear this all the time. Don’t use programming tests, don’t use LC or HackerRank, etc. What do other professions that demand high skill do? As an example - medicine. How are doctors interviewed when they switch jobs?

The beauty of LC type interviews is that it requires no validation by your existing employer or no public record or demonstration of work. In the absence of LC, I’m afraid we have to settle for some of that.
It’s not the developers fault it’s the god damned designers who insist we need custom fonts for everything. These people have no technical sense.

Many ads simply generate awareness:

"Need a plumber in $TOWN? Call $TOWN Plumbers at 555-1212."

Others simply advocate for a cause:

"Vote Yes on $TOWN Proposition #4!"

Ads like those above do add cognitive burden, but they can provide utility to a community and are demonstrably neither fraud nor lies.
Modern here means that it uses Unicode icons for the interface, which makes it much cleaner than many TUI programs, and that it adopts to mobile phone screen size.
I find the general feeling here is that the system isn't perfect, but none are really and what we have has worked for a long time and there isn't much desire to change it.

We'd just be switching for the baggage of an elected head of state and I'm not sure there is any stomach here for another issue that divides so deeply after going through the Brexit campaign/process.

Apple does not do planned obsolescence. iPhone 6S is going to be be supported for 8 years total. (It's not going to receive feature updates anymore, as iOS 16 won't support it, but it also means that iOS 15 gets another year of support)

Wow, TIL, and I stand corrected! That's crazy!
No reasonable interviewer is going to hire you or not hire you simply due to your fluency during the interview alone.

With that in mind - relax! Imagine you are explaining things to a friend rather than being examined.

Build you answers up, step by step, starting with the basic. Explain how you are reasoning around a problem as you go.

Do not just describe how things are or what you would do: clarify why one solution is better than another, and what problems you want to avoid.

If your fluency in English is low, practice speaking in general, so that during interviews you don't have to spend time thinking about grammar and phrasing.

Short, simple sentences are much better than mumbling, making sounds, etc.
I feel like we're on the same side of the aisle but what the fuck, unpleasant and unnecessary.
It's only a matter of time before they stumble on a streaming site hosted behind a Cloudflare IP and the ISPs end up blocking half the internet.
Even if Apple were ready to move right away, the delayed supply chains force their hand to hold stuff back. In the UK, if you want to buy even a basic spec 14" or 16" M1 MacBook Pro, you'll be waiting till August (mid August if you want to customize the spec). They can't drop a M2 based replacement at that level any time soon without a slew of cancelled orders and I imagine they have all the parts either ordered or ready to go on those.

People have been wondering why the M2 is going into an older, less desirable 13" MBP chassis first, and I think it's because if they even put it into the 14", they'd lose a ton of existing 14" and 16" orders. Best get those made and shipped first, then drop the good stuff.
Yeah I should probably replace the screenshot with a gif. Thanks for the feedback!
And as a bonus they come with GPS, compasses, accelerometers, and of course network connectivity, out of the box (if you can figure out how to access them, anyway).
WhatPulse 4.0
1. I agree we lost the DRM war. But I think the reason no one fights it anymore is that most people only cared for convenience reasons. Netflix, Spotify, etc. have largely solved the convenience issue. So we could say most people were actually fighting a different (temporarily aligned) war and won.

2. On the contrary, it's remarkable that the majority of smartphones now run an operating system that provides both good security (compared to desktops) and openness, and not just the kernel: Developers can write highly privileged apps like MicroG and F-Droid using official APIs to manage the phone (what MicroG does talking to the Google servers is a separate issue). Users can choose to use these apps using the sideloading feature, which is officially supported. For even more access, several smartphone manufacturers offer an official way of "getting root" and replacing the ROM with a custom one. For me this was a rather unexpected and welcome development! Then there are several communities of Android ROMs and companies build all sorts of devices using the AOSP source code. There is actually an ecosystem of apps for writing code on Android. It's indeed small and little used. My guess is that it's due to a combination of factors: IDEs that require huge ressources, separation of work and private devices, something else?

2a. Of course web servers are in data centers. What's your point? It's still nice that they are using open source software. There's a point to be made however about the closed SaaS apps like Google Docs that have replaced open source apps like LibreOffice. I don't care much: people/companies can run whatever they want on their own computers to provide me with a service. What matters for services are 1) data privacy issues (I agree with you on that) and 2) data export options (the SaaS apps I use are generally satisfying on this front).

3. Firefox's market share is small but it's still a perfectly capable browser. And I'm still amazed the whole of Chromium can be built from open source for both desktop and mobile. Sure Chromium is not Chrome but it's not far and many people use it as main browser. There's probably some meat here for a discussion.
Any recommendations for an alternative mail service to use temporarily while Mailgun is down? Maybe it's good to always have two mail services available in the case that one of the two is down. It would be great to hear a best practice from someone experienced.
I wonder what the incentive for that might possibly be....

Why? You can always rip a video stream.
I've always been bad at math but isn't 4TB for $400 approximately $0.10/GB ?

As another commenter mentioned EBS is quite a bit better than just a SSD in a number of ways. You can resize it, it has published resiliency numbers, quick and easy snapshots, etc etc

Also worth noting that the newest generation (GP3) is 0.08/GB/Month although like all things Amazon there are other charges to take into account.
In what sense? The durability is 11 9s either way [1]. If you value all the different AWS regions, then it's true that B2 can't match that. I'd still argue the 4.6x cost difference isn't worth that for a lot of uses, though.

How does your tool do on accessibility? Asking specifically, as that is the one hill most open sourced guis die on.
At "galaxy hopping" velocities, i.e. relativistic, even light can be a problem.

Even the emptiest of empty space still has photons moving around from the cosmic microwave background, and go fast enough, and these photons will turn into deadly ionizing radiation because of blueshift. And even before that, the term "object" starts to lose meaning when it comes to collisions, it becomes a bunch of elementary particles with enough energy to cause fusion reactions. It could be one of the xkcd "What If?" scenarios, Randall loves to imagine stuff moving at relativistic speeds, and usually, it doesn't end well...

> If the formula was simple, it would have been applied already.

Unsure, people have really ingrained ideas about cars in the US, any attempt at discussing alternatives is met with emotional backlash and it's very difficult to talk passed this. It's actually very similar in the UK, though you can see a difference in cities with good public transport and those without, it's like we optimise for extremes in either direction.

Objectively if it was a good option (not arguing that it is right now) to have a solid public transport system; people are ideologically opposed because of the belief that public transport is inconvenient, unsafe, a loss of personal freedom etc; and it's hard to argue those points because they're coming from an emotional place, thus people cycle between those issues in an attempt to deflect direct refutation over each one of the points individually.
Hey, developer here! Thank you for posting about my app! To answer a few questions:
- At the moment, you can't sync it with other calendars. If anyone has expertise in .ics format and python, please take a look at the issues on github, I've got some questions.
- "Modern" in the app description means that it uses unicode icons and scales to phone screens.
The "closest available system font" is determined by the font names in a site's stylesheets, not by magic.
Some people think it should be illegal to be able to read a book or watch a movie for free from the Library also.

Disney originally wanted VHS tapes to lock so you had to pay them to rewind them.

This also strikes me as another "You're Not Google" example. With modern computers, where even the smallest instance currently available on AWS would have been a beefy system when this advice was first diffused into the community, CDNs are probably solving a problem you don't have in 2022. If you have 10MB of static files to serve, and they're decently cached, you're looking at the ability to serve on the order of 50-100 new users per second with very realistic setups nowadays that would still be generally considered "entry level" in the modern environment, while in the meantime consuming almost no resources on the server because serving static files is really easy. And that's just straight off the "main server".

If you've run the numbers, and that's a problem, hey, great, more power to you! There's web sites where that's a problem. But, you know, remember that 100 new users per sec is a scale of nearly 10,000,000 per day. Is that really your scale? There's an awful lot of sites, even busy, productive, and profitable sites, that are looking more at the "1 new user loading a fresh copy of these things per second", if not one per minute.

I remember working with "servers" in the low hundreds of megahertz, on software stacks a lot less optimized than today. Shifting around your static serving could do something then. Today? Choking even a single CPU server's capability to serve static content takes some doing. By the time that's your core problem, you'll know.

(There's still a lot of "best practices" banging around the community from the "low hundreds of megahertz" period of time. At the risk of goring some sacred oxes, I also consider the obsession with total statelessness to date from this era. While one must still be careful with it, judicious application of state in the modern era can be very helpful. It's less panic-inducingly terrifying when I can afford the equivalent of entire servers dedicated to each individual user, where "server" is defined as "a server class machine from the time this advice first percolated out". The software engineering considerations around state are relevant and must be considered, but the solution of "zero! none! never! not any!" is no longer the only viable or best choice.)
There is no way that a browser could figure out what the "closest available" system font is, or that one even exists. It's up to the designer to specify the font(s) to be used.
You make many assertions and back none of them up with any evidence.

You assert that the programs exist to segregate the school, with no evidence.

You assert that more resources are spent on gifted programs without any evidence.

You assert that gifted program both do and do not provide better outcomes. Evidence is not needed here since these statements oppose each other.

The only "evidence" you present is your opinion, anecdotal evidence of what you believe you saw in attending a NYC school.
a third party has independently verified and attested to the quality or state of x software.

If I use an application, I enter a trust relationship with the vendor of that application. I don't want a third-party to make random decisions like adding pile of unsupported patches to the software or deciding that I cannot have it because it is `unethical` (which usually means non-FLOSS). Moreover, you are often stuck with old versions that have known bugs, because they refuse to update packages in LTS versions.

Moreover, I think the verification is overstated. Most package maintainers do not have the competency and/or time to conduct a security audit or review deltas between releases. I have been involved with some distributions and a lot of maintainers just check whether a new version still builds. If it doesn't, in the best case they know what they are doing, in the worst case they'll take random patches from the internet until it works.

I would rather trust whoever made the application. They know their own software well and have a high stake in distributing something that works as expected without large regressions.

The Linux distribution model is fundamentally broken for desktop operating systems. The turnaround time is slow, there is no proper isolation between the operating system itself and its applications, and there is a barrier between the user and the application developer (who usually don't support old, patched versions for a reason).

The model for a modern desktop Linux would be a stable, reliable core, with desktop applications provided as bundles through a platform where malicious applications can be yanked (something like Flathub or the Mac/iOS app store). Luckily, some distributions are open to newer models. E.g. Fedora Silverblue uses a lean, immutable OS, managed through OSTree and Flatpaks on top.

> waiting for a deer to pass by

We don't know everything about the era that shaped our bodies, there are a few contradicting narratives:

One being that we were mainly scavengers during the time that our brains grew to this size, especially savoring the marrow of the large bones of the large animals that used to roam the earth before we finished them off and had to look for other sources of highly nutritious foodstuffs. [1]

Another (albeit questioned) is that we hunted prey by running them to exhaustion, so called persistence hunting - a far cry from "waiting for deer to pass by" [2].

Some do argue that the preagricultural societies seemed to have plenty of leisure however [3], so you might be right :-).

But the larger point is if we would be mentally more healthy if we stuck to the old ways of hunting mammoths - or if we are first and foremost adaptable ... I guess my penny is on the latter, within reason.
