> folks doing quoted searches worth seeing the place

Ah, I remember this trick from my college days, using a thesaurus to beat exact match tests so you could copy from wikipedia et al. Glad to see it's still alive and well, and totally not being abused to make the internet a less useful place.
I read your comment before seeing the picture so I somewhat agreed with you initially, but this is not even subtle, it's a good joke...
> $1,500-2,200 price range but no one buys those.

Individuals may not but companies buy (or lease) truckloads of them.
I believe ADB only deletes them for your user, so they're still polluting your device's space.
There's an inherent tension in this take.

The people need to be free to study whatever they want without profit interfering, but also they need to be attached to a for profit business in a specific arena that has monopoly profits.

What is the magic ingredient that we lose if we just give the public's money (plus some extra we get from avoiding the inefficency of monopolies) to academics directly and tell them to build cool stuff?

Is it patents? Is this basically an internal Venture Capital thing using monopoly profits? If they get to stick their flag in one new idea before anyone else then they get to extract rent from everyone else and/or squash competition and so pay for the 99 misses?

edit: they were forced to licence their patents in 1956 so before that, patents were presumably the goal.

https://www.aeaweb.org/articles?id=10.1257/pol.20190086

The above suggests that the open licencing of the patents spurred innovation, except in telecoms, where AT&T maintained their monopoly.
Would it be fair to assume you did not read the article at all?
Ah thank you! Clever.

A US-friendly link to a similar product is https://amzn.com/dp/B09H6QV53R (I searched "arca-swiss tablet mount 300mm" to find it; there are others that only go to 230mm width for folks interested in this with smaller portable monitors).

Personally I am currently experimenting with a Lenovo ThinkVision M14[0] perched (a little precariously) atop a Roost V3 Laptop Stand[1], which is a lower-quality but lighter, more minimal setup than what you describe.

When I'm on Zoom call, which is often, I can move the laptop onto the stand for a better camera angle and put the external monitor beneath.

I'm not doing graphics work and I find the 60Hz, 1920x1080, usbc-on-both-sides monitor sufficient for my purposes (much, much better than an old asus one which was 30Hz or less, and laggy).

>I bought my kids ipads and apple pencils and they love them

Sure, but kids also love eating only sweets, watching cartoons and playing videogames all day, that doesn't mean it's always good for them.

Don't physical pencils and paper work the same without the downsides for kids, like staring into a bright screen?

And by kids I meant 3-12 year olds, not Teenagers and college age kids who need an ipad for study and productivity.
The reason there isn't enough power in the first place is because of the government.

The government is making new laws to compensate for the laws it's already made.

My floors are usually full of pieces of paper,cables and various other itens that prevent robot vacuums from working. I have a roomba S9, but I never use it because it requires a ton of manual work and supervision. Instead I just hire a cleaner a couple times a month. Are there any robot vacuums on the market currently that can handle a lot of mess on the floor?

It's like coding in an adversarial text window -- the font isn't monospace, there's no syntax highlighting, no auto-indent based on parenthesis, and when you accidentally hit enter (instead of ctrl+enter) you leave the text editor (and then it'll pop up with complaints about your function not being parseable). Also, dragging the size of the edit box bigger means you won't get much of a view of your spreadsheet -- it would probably be nice to attach the edit window on the right (if it was turned into a proper formula editor).

Yes, I meant implementing it as specified for C23 which was done for compatibility with C++, although I do prefer the underscores.

Maybe that’s a better idea, implement it with underscores in Cedro as it does not need C++ compatibility.

Edit: alright, it works. I also extended the parser to accept the apostrophe as part of number tokens. The only thing it does is to remove the underscores when writing.

I might need another command line option to specify whether the output should be C23:

1_234_567 → 1'234'567

or pre-C23:

1_234_567 → 1234567
1'234'567 → 1234567
I find DDG to be better than anything other than finding local stores, but I just use (google) maps for that anyway.

My sister lives in a prefab home ordered from Sears 100 years ago. They don’t have to be low quality or expensive.
Leaving specifics of Roomba vs. competitors aside, the basic concept just doesn't work well in a lot of situations. My house ends up having a bunch of cords and clutter. And even on the "single level" ground floor which is fairly open and fairly heavily trafficked, there are a number of small level changes between rooms because of additions over time.

I'm with you. I considered a Roomba a few years back but came to the conclusion that a Dyson cordless vac essentially solved my problem by making it trivial to spend a few minutes pulling out and running a vac as opposed to hauling out a canister vac between housecleanings.

My brother, on the other hand, has dogs and has a newly constructed single level house that they keep pretty free of clutter. A robo-vacuum works pretty well for them.
I haven't seen any medium to large size codebases that are bug free. How do those issues get identified when it's on paper?
US suburbs are more bike friendly than ever. In 1950 the car was the future and they quit building sidewalks in the suburbs. Today in new suburbs people want to see sidewalks so they build them. The roads are no wider today than the 1950s, and the lots are smaller. (in the 1950s people remembered the depression and still demanded large enough a lot for a large garden)

The above is of course a generalization and thus there are exceptions all over. It is still fairly true though.
Agree. I had a nearly-new MacBook Air that had some weird power-on behavior. Took it to an Apple store; they ran diagnostics, found something amiss and I walked out with a brand new replacement in under an hour. (No "we have to escalate to corporate", just "You have a good TimeMachine backup? OK, here ya go...")

In summary, I got sold a defective product from a company and left with a much higher overall impression of the company.
And dryer rack legs...
I once tried to search for a scammer named "internal revenue services" (with an S at the end) and it just wouldn't let me, quotes or not.

I tried it now and it's better, but not perfect. Most pages contain the term (as a misspelling) but a few didn't seem to (one had the word "services" in many places on it, however) and there was still a big Google Maps result and a Wikipedia result at the top for the actual IRS.
Huh interesting to note that iRobot has a large Massachusetts presence. Another robotics acquisition from Amazon was also HQ’ed in Mass (Kiva). Interesting to see how far Amazon has expanded into the state (lots of AWS teams are based around seaport as well).

Percentage calculations require multiplying or dividing by 100 in the right places, complicating both the progress bar itself and client code.
In typical usage it would be more elegant and more general to have a fraction, x things done out of a total of y, with both x and y updateable.

For example, recursively enumerating the contents a file system interleaves increasing y (when subfolders are visited and unprocessed files and unvisited subfolders are found) with increasing x (when files and folders are processed/visited). At the end x catches up with y.

Lowbar could be easily adapted to a percentage-free style without backwards incompatibilities: the constructor could have a parameter, range with default 100, and new methods update_range() and update_range_smooth() could update y similarly to how update() and update_smooth() update x.
A stable job with great pay and the freedom to work on tough problems without having to worry about funding? Yeah, I'd love to be in that position. If you want the fruits of that labour to not be monopolized, then it needs to be regulated.
No, anything less than fear and self-flagellation is prohibited. I am reminded of that Michael Crichton quote:

“There’s an initial Eden, a paradise, a state of grace and unity with nature, there’s a fall from grace into a state of pollution as a result of eating from the tree of knowledge, and as a result of our actions there is a judgment day coming for us all. We are all energy sinners, doomed to die, unless we seek salvation, which is now called sustainability. Sustainability is salvation in the church of the environment.”

(And yes, I’m aware that one can tag Crichton with a thought-terminating label such as “climate denier.”)
Thanks Bert!
Personally I find myself using bing more. Nothing against google search, but a lot of times I just cannot find what I need in google so I go over to bing to see if I have better luck. Sometimes I do. Although, google search is still better, for now.
It's not that that person was wrong. They were right -- about their own preferences.

They feel sorry for people who are different from them and want different things. Some people love being able to drive places (my disabled sister is one of them).

I feel sorry for people who don't know they're in a bubble. Maybe they truly want to live in a cookie-cutter McMansion suburb and just won't allow themselves to consider it for cultural reasons. That specifically is unlikely, but some version of it is probably happening, and they're missing out as a result.

Amazon Acquires iRobot
If we move ownership from boards of investors to the people who work at a company, and make leadership democratically elected, such as in a co-op, things work out a little better. Yeah, ambitious people will still raise to the top, but their incentives will be to make the company better, not necessarily more profitable.
I've spoken to people like this before. It isn't pure mental illness, the one person I spoke to the most a few years I ago, I am convinced a few assholes stalked/RATed her and that led to all kinds of paranoia and eventually to delusions and what you would call "mental illness".

I have first hand experienced some of this as well but I knew the individuals and their intentions and I learned to tolerate it as a temporary thing and move on with life. It really really messes with your head when you incidentally and actually find a RAT, for non-technical people they have no idea what that is, they just know somehow their most secret moments are known to strangers.

For those unaware, there communities of "underground" creeps that RAT people (usually women though) and share this shit between each other. I'd imagine these are also the same peope that are into gore and other messed up stuff?

In short, other disturbed people sometimes (but not always) cause people to think they are victims of gang stalking and sometimes they are not wrong.
Outside your home with Ring, inside our wallets with the credit cards, inside our home with Echo and now Roomba and then controlling it all with Alexa.

How far away are we from a future where Amazon uses roomba/alexa to inspect what we need, what we're missing, and then just ship it to us and charge it on the card?
A lot of it also comes down to reliability, security (not just at the platform level but also the tools for you to build on), and most importantly integration with other services which you’d have to build and maintain on your own.

You don’t buy AWS because it’s cheaper than a dedicated server but because you can get that Linux server using the same management services (API, authentication, monitoring & logging, etc.) that you use to get serverless functions & containers, object storage, managed ML services, normal and reporting databases, development tools, etc.

That’s not saying that either one is wrong, just different - it’s like asking why someone used a hotel for a conference when you had a great tent site on your vacation to the mountains.
This article presupposes that Proxima Centauri is not, in fact, made of chorizo. Whereas we have long known that the moon is made of cheese. I think Klein is floating a test balloon to gauge the public's willingness to consume the 'celestial charcuterie' theory of the heavens.
Admittedly, An interesting idea for the very mobile user.

As for mainstream usage, horrible in my view. A 12.5" laptop, who works on this? Ants? Even the "full fledged" desktop experience is 17". A size I considered too tiny for ergonomic work 2 decades ago. Windows in touch mode...meh.

Given that it's main value is in ultra mobile use, it's weird to flex all kinds of gimmicky features like audio. As if it's some kind of "creator" laptop, which it isn't.

It's typical of Asus, a showcase laptop throwing lots of stuff at the wall.

You could write a book on this point. In fact a few have and they are worth reading.

someone at Bell Labs once remarked that 90% of staff worked on development (bringing research into a practical deployment). Based on that they estimate that development is ~10% more difficult than research. While works like Shannon’s or Bardeen’s or Pierce’s stand out, most of the work was devoted to deployment. Something academics and patents don’t cover.
Why does large-scale corporate IP theft matter? Well, for one thing, I can't imagine the next Neato being willing to invest in all that R&D if a chinese company is going to rip it off and sell it for peanuts, just so the internet can say "wow, this chinese product is amazing, and I don't know why corporate IP theft matters!"

It's really fascinating -- on my phone (iOS 15.5), "white people" was correct to "white purple," "black people" was corrected to "blank people" (wtf Apple???), but "Asian people" went through just fine.

From what I can tell, Chinese companies will freely steal technology from other countries and companies, which is obviously frustrating and not great, but then they relatively quickly start exceeding the technology they stole, quickly adding features not present in the original products. So it's a bit dangerous for American companies to sit on their heels saying Chinese companies are stealing. Yes, they are, and it's frustrating, but then those Chinese companies add features at a rapid pace that the American companies can seemingly not keep up with.
If such fears end remote work, then we all can safely say that managers and executives would rather give up some performance in order to have personal power over their employees. There's simply not another way to read this situation.
No but we pay a lot of taxes, which should cover this.

I am surprised that neither Apple nor Google have spent much time trying to address the discoverability of the features in their touch devices.

On the one hand, I guess it's nice, I don't have to field calls from my family asking how to do something on the phone, or how to turn off a feature. (Well except for that time my mom accidentally turned on emergency sos mode and couldn't figure out how to turn it off for an hour.)

On the other hand, sometimes I would do something unexpected that seems cool, but now I don't know what that feature is called or how to purposely do it again. Was it triple back tap or long tap-short tap- long tap the volume button or maybe it was septuple swipe across the home screen... I'll never know.

This is also provably untrue.

The YT search box suggests "JRE Alex Jones" for "JRE alex" not once but twice, once in the second position and once in the 9th position as "JRE Alex Jones Returns".

Conspirationists used to infer evil motives behind random events. That itself was bad enough. But now they are inventing new facts entirely, that never existed, or pretend things that did happen in plain sight didn't. (Such as... Alex Jones and Sandy Hooks).

Opening my first Roomba was a great experience. Once you open the box there's a paragraph saying how "this is your Roomba, enjoy doing what you want with it. There's documentation online on using the diagnostic serial port to control your Roomba". This and how iRobot still sells all parts for all of their robots all the way back to the original made me find them to be the better company even if their innovation wasn't as competitive.
This is an absurd amount of new jobs. By absurd, I mean that this is leaps and bounds beyond what was predicted. It also means that the Fed isn't going to taper off rate hikes anytime soon.

The problem is that 'every mathematician has only a few tricks' [1].
This means that every scientific problem should be exposed to as many scientists as possible, coordinated in a way that maximizes the number of tricks that are tried.

To me, this suggests that something like the TikTok algorithm should bring scientists and problems together. The problem is that each problem is not a 30 second video that is easy to consume, but a problem that requires some amount of studying before it is approachable.

There is most likely not much to invent, e.g. there is already stack exchange to answer questions, and Khan Academy to gain basic knowledge, but like YT before TikTok, there is no algorithm that brings it all together.

One area where I find squashing especially problematic is file renames. If you rename a file in one commit and fix up the references to and from the file in a second, git can follow the rename, but one commit will fail to compile.

If you squash it into one commit on the other side, git will have a very hard time figuring out that the file got renamed and is not a brand new file, as both the rename and the fixup happened at the same time.
I'm looking to upgrade from this specific router - likely towards a NanoPi R4S / R4SE running OpenWRT which clocks in around $60-80 with a case and seems to be better spec.

The RaspberryPi advantage is its ubiquity. This means more eyes on any problem as well as being easy to reuse when no longer fit for purpose. (e.g. one of my Pis has been an adblocker, a kodi / plex box, and a few other things at various times). My ERX is and will forever be a router at the mercy of ubiquiti releasing new firmware fixes.
