the most valid justification in OP’s post was (IMO) the non-replaceable batteries, since battery capacity decreases noticeably over a 6 year timespan.

does your phone have a replaceable battery, or have you just not found it to be a deal-breaker?

i upgraded from a 2016 SE to the iphone 13 mini last year, in largest part because it would die after like 2 hours of casual web browsing (even with ads disabled/etc). one major feature of the newer iphones is the clip-on battery packs. not as good as replacing the interior battery, but means i can get expect more than 5 years of life from this one without hacking it too much.
I am not sure toughness has anything to do with ferromagnetic properties. But it seems like a bad idea anyways considering that very few materials are naturally ferromagnetic.

Controversy Erupts over Video of FSD Tesla Striking Child Mannequin
It's fascinating that attempts at censorship often seem to quickly founder in incompetence of all things.

It turns out that actually banning the right things and not the wrong things seems simple on the surface and then turns out to be problem of nearly unsolvable scale and complexity, to the point where the system often falls down through the utter humiliation of how badly it is working.
A software architect does system design, but lots of developers do system design without being architects.
Thanks, I didn't know about optimized battery charging. It's new to iOS 13, so wasn't available last time I looked.

It's different than chargie. It's hard to say which is better, I think I'll stick with chargie. But it's optimized battery charging is close enough that if I didn't already own a chargie I wouldn't buy one...
If you don’t have enough electricity, the exact wrong solution is to pretend everything is fine and keep consumer prices the same, as there will be zero reason for consumers to reduce consumption. If prices increase by 2x or 3x you can bet users who can will turn off large consumers like resistive heaters.

For some reason unrestrained access to cheap electricity is treated as an untouchable right, and how dare you raise prices in a shortage, you profiteering monster?
>If you are surveilling a foreign adversary's submarine cable

This is exactly what the USS Jimmy Carter does.

And supposedly it was namesaked to spite carter as he was against spying, but the sub was built to splice and tap sea fiber.

Recall all the lines going down off Libya, Egypt and the like, and there was a brief controversy as the US was being accused of splicing into those lines....

I cant find the article I was thinking of, as apparently these cable cuts are more frequent than I knew...

I use xterm. (However, there are some problems with it such as the pieces of big Sigma cannot be displayed (I think because it uses Unicode for conversion; you cannot just use fonts with the specific encodings directly, which I would prefer it to do), and some other problems; but it also has some advantages such as using Xaw and using bitmap fonts.)

Maybe some time, I can write a better one, possibly. (One idea I have also is a kind of "secure universal escape", which might possibly use /proc file system if necessary, that would ensure that the state of the terminal is correct after the prompt is returned (and possibly also to check that the prompt is not being faked). The other idea is to not use Unicode.)
What feature of Windows Terminal are you missing? It's been ages since I've used it but I can't think of anything I haven't seen in Linux terminal emulators. Gnome Terminal is the closest IMHO as it has custom profiles and colorschemes that are similar to what I remember from Windows. Pixel shaders are the only thing I can think that you won't commonly find in Linux terminals, but there is cool-retro-term for that kind of stuff.
I'm also using a 5 year old Iphone 8 from 2017, works fine, just replaced the battery this year. So I guess buy an Iphone and avoid android phones based on what you've found.

This doesn't really fit anything I understand about Obama or about the world. Much more likely is that upon taking the responsibility of president he learned a lot of new things and received a lot of new advice/opinions and changed his mind.

I would love to do this. We have friends in nearby towns who have started homeschooling. Mostly they are families with 3+ kids (economies of scale!).

I have considered homeschooling but the social aspect would be a challenge. But we have talked with other public school families that are also on the brink, and I wouldn't be surprised if we jump ship before all our kids are grown.

Getting the World Record in Hatetris (2022)
It takes a LONG time, depending on the machine(s) and architectures.

pkgsrc has quarterly releases (2022Q1, 2022Q2, and so on).

Alpha and UltraSPARC are fast and finish in a month or two, and can build any updates after the first run.

SPARC (running on an UltraSPARC Sun Fire V100) and mips64eb (running on an EdgeRouter Lite) finish before the end of the quarter now and then, but I don't count on it.

earm and earmv4 may get to the point where they can finish before the end of a quarter because it's trivial to add additional machines, but I haven't had the time or resources to do that yet. Also, there's an issue with distcc and earmv4 I haven't figured out yet.

mipsel (Cobalt) and sh3el (Landisk) are not slowpokes, but are run as best effort. The Cobalt is a 250 MHz Cobalt RaQ2 with 256 megs of memory and a 500 gig SATA drive, and the SuperH machine is a 266 MHz SH4 with only 64 megs of memory and a 160 gig IDE disk. Both make use of distcc to help speed compiles.

m68k is done by a small cluster of machines: a 1U Amiga 1200 with a Blizzard 1260 (50 MHz m68060), 256 megs of memory, and an SSD on a SATA-IDE, then an IDE-SCSI adapter, two Quadra 605 with 132 megs, two Quadra 610s with 260 megs, and two Quadra 800s with 264 megs. Two of those Macs aren't quite stable yet, but should be fully fixed for the next run.

VAX is done by a VAXstation 4000/90 with 128 megs and a 4000/60 with 104 megs, both with fast, modern disks on SATA-IDE-SCSI adapters. Some staging and testing is done using a virtual VAX in simh, but as much actual work as possible is done on real hardware.

None of mipsel, sh3el, m68k nor vax are expected to finish a quarter before the quarter is up, but with added hardware and improvements to methods for helping them, more and more packages will be done before the quarters are up. Also, many of a previous quarter's packages are still up to date in the next quarter, so reusing old packages helps lots.

Everything is shared using a Raspberry Pi 4 with USB-3 hardware mirrored disk which is running as an NFS server and is also doing distcc for several of the architectures.
Nope you are right. Ferromagnetism is very rare in nature.

I used to work somewhere with three standups every day. I'd lose and hour and a half every morning for updates that often didn't involve me or could have been async.
st. [1] Its simple and has everything I need, which is utf-8 support. Tabs and stuff i do via tmux.

Tilix, basically a much more being able to do splitting etc from the GUI, and pretty standard Gtk view.

It has optionally has CSD, which I'm a fan of (I know many are not, but I kind of like widgets in the toolbar, going buck to Amipro, and later Winamp)
Were you playing planning poker? The 3 or 5 story points is something I've definitely experienced.

Standups are okay, but they have to really be focused. Too often I see people dragging the standup into a side discussion instead of handling it off line. I also don't think they need to be daily. Twice a week is enough.

The real problem is micro management. Breaking everything down into bite sized ("2 or 3 point" chunks) is incredibly tedious. In the old days, estimates were less granular. "Joe, we need you to build X. Can you do that in 3 weeks? It also needs to handle blah."
Kitty and Alacritty miss one feature which is key to me: assigning a separate color to bold face.

I read a lot of output that only has bold face markup, like man pages or top output. They are way easier to read if bold face stands out more than, well, just thicker letter strokes.

So I'm stuck with xfce4-terminal.
urxvt. It's very fast. I do a non-scientific benchmark of 'time find ~'. After repeats I see: urxvt=3.86s, alacritty=4.25s, kitty=7.62s, xterm=14.04s. (That xterm time feels suspect, I remember it being faster)

Mostly it was an improvement over xterm. I setup runtime font size change, a perl script to open new terms in the same working directory, and scroll bar the way I like.

On my newer setup for wayland I settled on alacritty (kitty was a competitor, X terms were out because fractional scaling results in blurry fonts). Neither option has a scrollbar which sucks, but I was able to get similar feature parity to urxvt.
To be fair, if a Harvard professor impacted the ocean that hard and on that trajectory, that would also be news.
Terminal emulator.

When I boot my laptop or PC I get a graphical login (sddm) and a whizzy environment on login - KDE n that. I can hit CTRL-Fx and get a console, a terminal if you like. It does conform to some sort of standards but is it really an emulator? Emulating something implies a second rate experience and I don't think that applies here. My terminal is just fine.

Now is my terminal a good one? Well we might have to consider the shell too because that is a major part of the text based console experience. I use BASH. I know that other shells exist and they have adherents (often quite vocal!) I've tried FISH and loved it but it isn't BASH which is available nearly everywhere. zsh, ksh etc are not bash but they are well supported so adherents are well served and we are all happy.

So I run BASH in a konsole mostly. It's just something to run commands and get stuff done. I've tried funky extras that fiddled with git n that and changed the prompt and made my console life more productive. It doesn't really and simply slows it down.

I like my shells to be unimaginative but reliable and my consoles to be pretty staid too. I like a bit of colour but not much more.

Sorry, to answer your question: konsole.

I’m sure this is /s but for real Iran treats this guy like the UK treats Margret Thatcher so I’m not about to stand on some high horse and be like “clearly the intense emotions and anger of 80 million people are completely invalid and irrational” and instead take a step back and realize that clearly I lack some critical knowledge and life experience that helps me empathize because nobody gets that angry for no reason.
It's probably not an engineering failure given current-day knowledge, because (as far as I know) nobody knows how to engineer a network that scales arbitrarily to any number of nodes while achieving total consensus (agreement) on all state every few seconds in a fair-decentralised and consistent manner.

The Ethereum blockchain does scale to more nodes and use scalable P2P networking algorithms. It is only the active beacon chain nodes which are constrained. Just as many users with "full nodes" in the current PoW network do not run a mining operation, not everyone needs to run a beacon chain validator to participate in a decentralised way in the PoS network.

You may think it sounds easy or natural to scale, but actually there are some difficult trade-offs when coordinating global consensus over all state at once. Because communication grows faster than O(n) for n nodes in a flat structure, one of the solutions to that is an uneven power-law network (like a hierarchy), or communication latency rising (along with costs), but both of those are undesirable factors when optimising for fair decentralisation with reasonable latency and costs.

These issues don't arise on other P2P applications such as file sharing and VPN onion routing. That's because they don't need to provide a real-time global consensus of all state on a fixed time scale.

Some blockchains offer low latency local-only consensus, or optimistic consensus which might be rolled back, but those are also a negative for some purposes.

There are some techniques for arbitrary scaling while keeping all the other desirable properties, but they are still open research problems. Some of the most promising techniques use zero-knowledge proofs, but those are mathematically very compute intensive and the current techniques can't run something as complex as Ethereum in real-time yet on an ordinary high-end PC.

Even the PoS beacon chain being readied for the Ethereum merge depends on fairly advanced mathematical cryptography to work.

It really isn't as simple as you imagine.
This is a tangent, but I was reminded of early Macintosh days, where the 68000 processor in the original Mac hardware only paid attention to the lower 24 bits of addresses, and only the lower 22 were actually connected to memory. The heap manager used the upper bits of pointers as a convenient place to store flags, and didn’t bother zeroing them on dereference because they were ignored anyway.

The release of the 68020 and Macs with more RAM resulted in the need for a whole transition to “32-bit clean” system and apps that took a while. I also seem to recall something about early versions of Microsoft Mac apps being limited to the lower megabyte of RAM for a similar reason.

it's ironic (but expected) that this blog post talking about "fast font loading techniques" is riddled with problems: flash of unstyled text, flash of invisible text, square boxes until glyphs are loaded, difference in web font size causing the entire page to shift upwards to compensate for new height: https://i.imgur.com/Gxo5CUk.gif

XTerm. It's fast and it works. I wish it could be attached as a serial terminal like st though.

Lately I've found that I'm more productive just dropping into a console with docs on an eReader though.
It’s been around a lot longer than anything I would call modern! I remember managed switches from over 20 years ago having it.

For anyone curious the blanket term is “port mirroring”. These days there’s little to no distinction between “switch” and “router” ports at this level so the term applies regardless.
I do the same except I use ghee. My grandparents all lived to their 80s in Bangladesh and at this point I’m just trying to do what they did instead of trusting western science. (Aside from vaccines put the pitchforks away.)
It is indeed funny to see nerds attempt to ascribe some factual, logical reasoning to why such actions are taken by certain politicians.

When you learn first hand how grossly ignorant of the internet many politicians really are, in almost any country, it can be quite the wake up call.

Having a tool to shoot someone is a right written into the US constitution. There are a variety of circumstances where you are within your rights to use this deadly force.

France has a lot of reactors not available, also because of various technical problems.

During cold winter days the electricity demand is especially high, since a lot of heating is done with electricity. On some winter days the output of the reactor fleet is not enough - with less available reactors, this gets even more of a problem. Also neighbors might not be able to provide as much electricity as usual , because of the Russian invasion&war in the Ukraine and its consequences.
It's not that new, and in practice there aren't very many ways for it to get warty because it's basically a dependency graph with "run this command line if this node is dirty" attached to the edges.

I like it very much.
Better for frying, also.
Repeating an argument _verbatim_ this many times just comes across as patronizing. We get it. You think numbers can’t be outlawed. You’re wrong and in general, pedantry/technicalities about theoretical computer science is _not_ going to help you when considering human power structures.

Someone else has told you this already, but you seem intent on ignoring it.
xterm too, not for any special reason than it seems to be highly compatible (well, AFAICT it is basically a de-facto standard for all X terminals), very responsive, opens instantly and has zero frills.

I mainly use Window Maker but whenever i use KDE (in other PCs mainly) i use konsole because it is just there.

TBH my requirements for a terminal are minimal - a generous scroll back history, decent responsiveness and the ability to configure the window to remove any unnecessary frills (scrollbar aside) and i'm fine.

I wonder if it's possible this was an optical illusion. Seeing optical illusions where oil tankers are hovering in mid-air has changed my perception of what people could see and how it could be misinterpreted.

It is my understanding that heating edible oils will not produce trans fats unless there is a catalyst to donate hydrogen, a vacuum and a prolonged period of time longer than average cooking times. It is unlikely that a person cooking at home will create trans fats.

Different oils have different smoke points, and heating an oil beyond that smoke point can polymerize the oil and produce free radicals.

Charring foods can create heterocyclic amines, which are associated with cancers.
> So if someone ask me "you don't smoke?" and I answer "是的" that means I don't smoke, which is actually what "no" means in standard English.

I don't think there's much to be learned by trying to examine this situation in English. Affirmative answers to negative questions are a source of frequent confusion among native speakers, suggesting that the rules of English are not clear on this point.

Yes, I used autotools[0]. It's definitely hairier than plain make, but you get a lot of useful features on top of it. There's thousands of examples all over the internet so it's easy to reference them.

I like the elegance of pure make, and do use it when appropriate, but I wouldn't really want to reimplement the things autotools does myself in it.

I don't understand the use case of `just`. It drops every useful feature from `make`. It doesn't look like it has parallelism or the ability to not needlessly re-run tasks.

Even if `just` was installed on a standard Linux box, I don't see the benefit of it over a bash script.
No basis other than clear observation of reality, you mean?
Filipinos do not have the same history in the USA as Black Americans. If there is an anti-Filipino bias then I’m all for correcting it. Are Filipinos disproportionately filling our prison system? Were their ancestors enslaved? Do they have social networks where nobody in their entire network has gone to college?

Are you really trying to grapple with the problem here, or is it as simple to you as “we should never take steps to affirmatively correct past racial injustices”? Your deep concern with Jews being treated too well makes me suspect you aren’t arguing from a genuine place of concern about injustice, but carelessly lobbing white supremacist talking points. They would indeed argue that we need to restrict Jewish admissions because Jews are replacing “true whites” in Universities.
