People often think that because jerks work at successful companies, you need to be a jerk to be successful. It’s more the other way around: a successful firm can carry many people who don’t add value, like parasites.

Guarantee you Linus wasn’t this bad in the 90s.
10. Android 13 adopts Bluetooth Low Energy (LE) Audio, a new Bluetooth audio standard that results in lower latency than classic audio. This allows you to hear audio that’s in better sync with the sound’s source, reducing delay. With Bluetooth Low Energy (LE) Audio, you can also enjoy enhanced audio quality and broadcast audio to multiple devices at the same time.

This is huge! Now I wonder if I have any Bluetooth devices which support the new standard, or if I will be forced to buy new headphones (again!)
As of 49 years ago; what does gold have to do with printed currency?
A lot of banks refuse to send SMSes to voip numbers. Google voice runs into this, and presumably twilio too.
The problem with containers and graphics drivers is that those drivers have an userspace component. This depends on the hardware (e.g. AMD vs. Intel vs. NVidia all have different drivers of course) and in the case of NVidia this has to be exactly matched with the kernel version (this is less of an issue with VMs, but then you need something like SR-IOV which isn't quite on consumer HW, or do dedicated PCIE throughput which doesn't allow the host to use it).

So version management becomes a major pita, from shipping drivers too old to support the hardware to having a driver that doesn't match the kernel. In the cloud this is mostly solved by using VMs and hardware with SR-IOV. (and a fixed HW vendor so you know which set of drivers to include)
Whoa, OK, thanks!

I was a bit annoyed at first. But... like most major redesigns, it came to grow on me. To the point where pre-12 Android now looks kinda dated. Better animations, smoother experience, more contrast and more colors fit the OS well I think.

The only thing I regret is that my personal Samsung phone didn't pick up on the design language - OneUI is much more conservative and, IMO, less attractive to look at. It follows iOS cues a bit too much.
Warren Buffet had this to say in a past letter to shareholders of Berkshire Hathaway:

"Today the world’s gold stock is about 170,000 metric tons. If all of this gold were melded together, it would form a cube of about 68 feet per side. (Picture it fitting comfortably within a baseball infield.) At $1,750 per ounce – gold’s price as I write this – its value would be $9.6 trillion."

Yeah. The problem with all these security innovations is they allow corporations to seize control. The ability to debug and intercept is also the ability to reverse engineer and override.

We need secure software that empowers us, not some secure walled garden.

With Android 12 they introduced Material Design 3, the latest iteration of the design system used by Android and other Google products. Their designers haven't even bothered to publish a proper and usable spec this time, but Google marketed it as production ready in blog posts, Google I/O talks and press releases.

The published Material Design 3 spec is missing several basic components, it doesn't even have a checkbox. Google is inviting developers to migrate to the latest version of the design system, while their own teams at Angular and Flutter are now mixing M2 and M3 components and design concepts, and hitting roadblocks because of incompatible elevation and typography changes in certain components.

No. I said this could be happening/is likely exacerbated by identity theft on the Mexican border (where police will probably be less trusting of official documents because of this problem; not that it's fair just that this is the reality). I then said you could be blonde haired, blue eyed and be Mexican and gave a personal anecdote.

More importantly, however, is what exactly does your comment add to the conversation?

YSK, this code will likely fail in weird ways on platforms with default unsigned char like ARM because it makes the classic mistake of assuming that the getc return value is compatible with char type despite getc returning int and not char. EOF is -1, and assigning a char on ARM changes to 255 so you'll read past the end of some buffers and then crash.
Please stop spreading objectively inaccurate FUD in the thread.
Sorry, let me clarify. We should trust Signal as little as possible. That's how the design should work. Zero trust is very hard to create but let's minimize it.

Opening up usernames (in the conventional sense) you will end up needing to verify and act as an arbiter. This is due to the fact that certain usernames have real world meaning behind them and you don't want to create an ecosystem where it is really easy to honeypot whistleblowing platforms (how do you ensure that CNN gets {CNN, CNN-News, CNNNews, etc}?). They've suggested that this might be the case given that the "Notes to self" and "Signal" users are verified with a blue checkmark. The issue is that verifying users not only makes Signal a more trusted platform but the act of verification requires obtaining more information about the user. It also creates special users. All things I'm very against. I'd rather hand out my phone number than have Signal collecting this type of information. So yeah, it isn't completely trustless, but I certainly don't want to move in the direction of requiring more trust.
This is one of the posts I wish I could upvote more than once.

Voyager Digital’s search for a buyer – notes from the first committee town hall
PVCs getting stuck in Pending is THE WORST. Sometimes Kubernetes events can tell you why (i.e. no PV matches the claim, PV out of capacity on Kubernetes end), but sometimes it doesn't and you need to find the Pod running the StorageClass to see what went wrong...which can be painful (thank you, NetApp Trident, for making me spend 30 minutes going all over tarnation to figure out why PVCs were stuck only to tell me subtly through a billion lines of logs that the trident-csi couldn't log into Azure)

Either way, this is a good example (for me) of how Kubernetes needs some work to be friendlier to operators
I’ll bite - I only care because I think it’s important for others to see what your intentions are here.
Now that I’ve answered your question, can you answer mine? :)
If I wanted to, I’m sure I could Google some of your online identities and find a post your made in the past and then asked in a public forum if you’re the same person. I wouldn’t do that because I think it’s a bit creepy and impolite, but if I had a very specific reason for doing so, I might consider it. So I’ll ask again - what was your intention in connecting his identities here in such a direct way?
You said something about “bought a town” and it being “political”, can you expand on what that means?

I just don't see how land use is an issue worth worrying about right now, climate emergency and all. The federal government owns _huge_ swaths of sunny arid desert land in the west. It is largely not suitable for crops, livestock, suburbs, etc. We could install millions of acres worth of current solar tech out there and generate enough power for everyone. The real difficulty lies in the infrastructure it would take to get the power to where people are.

What we should be focusing on is transmission and distribution, those are the really hard problems. We could have all the power we want but if our grids can't handle the rapidly increasing demand it does nothing for us. And as more people go 100% electric for transportation, heating, and cooking the integrity of power distribution becomes even more important because we will have put all our energy eggs in the electricity basket.

The only place land use seems relevant is for smaller scale off-the-grid cases where someone's property is small but they want to generate all their own electricity.
The length of the democratization cycle we're seeing – months to weeks between a breakthrough model and a competent open-source alternative that runs on commodity hardware – really highlights the genie-stuffing posture of Google and OpenAI. All the thoughtful, if highly paternalistic guardrails they build in amount to little more than fig leaves over the possible applications they intend to close off.

I'm personally in the "AI risk is overstated" camp. But if I'm wrong, all the top-down AI safety in the world is going to be meaningless in the face of a global network of researchers, enthusiasts, and tinkerers.
And the US has plenty of literal deserts to use for that anyway.

The issue is really mostly the difficulty of smoothing production over consumption. And transmission.
> One would imagine that this would have been escalated to some pretty senior security folks at Google before the payout was decided.

Bug bounties are routine. "How much do you want to pay out" is way down the list of things that leadership is focused on for these things. "How do we mitigate this" and "how does the researcher get paid" are often questions owned by different people and teams. Directors aren't swooping in to make payout decisions.
I think the problem is that it's a requirement, not a feature you can choose to use. I'd be more inclined to use Signal if I choose to use only a user/pass. Just need a block function.
Does that mean that it's not enough to fill his money bin?
I'd say that's more true if you've been handed a strange new micro with a unique architecture and an untried toolchain.

Make your rope as best you can but once you jump it's up to luck and whether the gods are feeling beneficent if you survive, and if you do, if you still have your limbs and retinas attached.
I used both and am baffled by your experience. In my experience Android has been a complete glitch hell only being somewhat fixed since Android 12 (still flawed but it's a huge push) while iOS has always managed to at least be half decent in that regard. iOS7 was a few steps back but they managed to come back pretty quickly.

I agree about information density. Manufacturer makes the screen larger to fit more content, Android makes elements larger to fit fewer controls (this is not just a "ppi problem", the layouts all seem to be designed for 3" screens, yet none of them exist).

iOS/Apple has mostly been good about density, but they too keep being tempted by their large screens to make UI elements unnecessarily large.
I really appreciate your insights here.

I declined the position today.

Thank you for the help!
I booked half year subscription, and had deep disappointment. Each and every article is without the basic substance on how the ideas were developed and what the reasoning behind their consequences. All articles are pure ideology showcasing of the author, who might or might not believe what they stated in the article...
Not exactly. Registering again will make an entirely new identity with different key pair. The new phone holder won't get access to your contacts or your message history. I believe your contacts will also know about signature change as well.
Usually when you say "emulator" people think there's an inherent performance hit because of a fetch-decode-execute interpreter loop somewhere. Reimplementations of things don't have that performance hit even though they are lumped under the same umbrella as actual interpreters and recompilers.

Related note: if WINE is an emulator why isn't Linux or GNU? They both reimplement parts of UNIX, which was even more proprietary than Windows is today.

Not sure how they compare. DD seems to be quite popular. I'm currently setting up DD locally.
Personally I disagree. I've been using iPhone for 13 years, I have complaints sure, but it works. I got an Android Samsung Galaxy thing earlier this year as a work device - primarily to offload Teams, email etc of my personal device. The phone itself is good, hardware feels modern, but the Android 12 OS is just poor from top to bottom. It took far too long to work out some of the most basic features. Even today I find myself getting slightly lost or confused when looking for some hidden setting. Windows 10, OSX, iOS, you can search battery and go into the battery menu... my galaxy doesn't do that. I'm sure someone will tell me the Samsung version of Android isn't the real Android or some bollocks, but really, Android needs some serious work and little UI/UX tweaks wont cut it. The experience has shown me that my 4 year old iPhone is far more modern than a latest Android.
It’s not just those things; it is the set of people in society that require at least some of those cultural elements.

If you live in a place without any of them, you can be sure it also doesn’t have any of those kinds of people as full-time residents.

Apparently as long as you use Signal at least once every 7 days from a linked device, you should be good: https://support.signal.org/hc/en-us/articles/360007059792-Si...

Still, given that your number is used as a primary identifier, I'd avoid using it in that way for an extended amount of time. Among other things, I'm not sure if it's possible to re-register using just your phone number and PIN (but not access to SMS-OTPs on the associated phone number) in case you lose your own device, for example.
Find data sources and optimise for your objectives. For me it was:

- travel-time, via connections like airports, train stations, motorways, etc. You will need them when you want to travel, or your spouse needs to get to an office

- weather. Now and predictions of how it will change in the future

- water levels and flood risks and how they are predicted to change over your lifetime (especially important of you like the coast, rivers, etc.)

- forest fires, draught etc might be a factor depending on your climate

- proximity to industrial or academic centers

- general social-economic situation of the place that is interesting to you

Most of this data is likely freely available from public / state sources.

If you don't know the place, rent first, buy when you are happy. Data is unlikely to provide the full picture and you need to live in a place to get a full picture of it's quirks. Make sure to use the facilities you care about to get an idea how they work in practice.
Start with disabling auto away :)
So there are two parts to this: the app producing the image in the application window and then the windowing system combining multiple windows together to form the final image you see on screen.

The former gets done in process (using e.g. GL/vulkan) and then that final image gets passed onto the windowing system which is a separate process and could run outside the container.

As an aside, with accelerated graphics you mostly pass a file descriptor to the GPU memory containing the image, rather than mucking around with traditional shared memory.
I wouldn't even call it bad. In may ways it's good, actually. It's good because it allows signal to build a product that is relevant and usable. Phone numbers only connect people and are a bridge to allow all the perfect crypto to do the legwork. The knee jerk "phone bad" reaction is understandable, sure. But I don't think it's warranted for Signal. Signal would look like Keybase without phone numbers. Keybase (or their key exchange UX, at least) is great. But it's not the same product.

Just like this website. Usernames. Easy peasy.
if you have a common base system it might be possible to copy/rsync/untar the tools you need and then use them. Ideally you'd want to restart the container/pod once you're done to ensure the tools aren't left around, or their presence causes other weird issues.
How is that not a huge HIPPA violation? Shouldn’t this be a slam dunk case?
Yeah Linus's "we don't break user space" is a joke.

Great, the kernel syscalls API is stable. Who cares, if you can't run a 7 year old binary because everything from vdso to libc to libstc++ to ld-linux.so is incompatible.

Good luck. No it's not just a matter of LD_LIBRARY_PATH and shipping a binary with a copy. That only helps with third party libs, and only if vdso and ld-linux is compatible.

My 28 year experience running Linux is that it's API (source code) unbroken, but absolutely not ABI.
Walmart Reaches Streaming Deal with Paramount+
Corgis! This seems better than pet hotels or boarding facilities (standalone, vets are common in US), but could be a lot riskier. Vetting and feedback seems like it can help some, but what about all of the edge cases like a host has a visitor who does something to a guest pet, or an emergency response to a pet accident?
Bad example. Upgrades became objectively worse (if we’re talking about number of features).
Disappearing Safari Tabs on iPhone or iPad? How to Find Them
I sometimes wonder what is different about frontend JS community and ecosystem vs backend ecosystem that makes them iterate over and ship new framework every other week. Is it a lack of standardization/specs or unwillingness to improve existing abstractions?

I could be completely wrong, but it feels like building on so many abstractions, one tends to lose insight into the underlying stack and you eventually enter a diminishing returns territory.
On top of your point, I think people should also understand that smartphones aren't exactly a small purchase for a non-trivial population. Even tech-literate are stuck with the stock ROM if they need to use banking apps, snapchat etc. because of SafetyNet.

Or... you could just get a wireless device and not deal with wrapping and shoving cables every time you want to listen to something. I put airpods in my ear and the music starts playing. It's just a much better experience than wired headphones were. No reaching through my shirt. No getting the cable caught anyway. No pulling my device around when I get up but forget to unplug.
I had my app drawer on the swipe right screen. I updated to android 12, now that's the Google screen. You can't remove it. You cant replace it through the settings.

However, you can disable it. But now, you have a giant blank page that says click to reactivate. It's personalization alright, but not the way you think. Kinda like how turning off wifi is a suggestion, not a guarantee.
>If you signed up to receive email, then it's going to be hard to show that you received email that's different from what you signed-up for.

At least in the EU, if you make a complaint, it falls on the sender to assert the legal basis for sending the email, so it's on them to prove informed consent (if that's the basis they're relying on).

> That's why it's important that spam continues to be defined as Unsolicited Bulk Email.

I'm not sure you've made the case that's important. In the EU, spam has been long defined as unsolicited commercial communications (since the E-privacy Directive in 2002) - no requirement for it to be in bulk.
I’d be perfectly happy keeping my old phone with Android 9 until the battery became useless, except for security upgrades. Old Android versions have some scary vulnerabilities. Doesn’t that concern you?
Yes. I do it for a client. The app is used on a daily basis by a small number of users, but for a somewhat high volume of data and generates them quite a bit of revenue. To me it sounds like your issues are related to libraries. I aimed for the most stable and where that wasn't an option i wrote alternatives - i actually understand js and i am comfortable replacing most libs with my own code. Obviously it depends on context but generally speaking electron devs, as js devs, have the habit of bringing in thousands of dependencies for every little thing and then wonder why things are slow, un maintainable and full of security issues. If all you need from a lib is a function then implement it yourself. Also dont cargo cult chrome updates - some may be totally irrelevant to your specific use case.
So before all of this, a crime would happen, you'd leave a fingerprint, the police attempt to match it with a fingerprint in their databases that you might have had to submit to get a drivers license. All fine because people understand the science of fingerprinting.

Today, a crime would happen, you leave DNA, the police attempt to match it with a DNA sample in their databases you might have submitted for a health screening. 4th amendment violation because DNA is scary to the lay person it seems. This is not from logical reasoning but from emotional reasoning, because for all intents and purposes DNA databases are being used exactly like fingerprint databases that are normalized in our society today, and shouldn't actually have this scrutiny (or maybe fingerprints should have more scrutiny if you are against DNA screening for crimes, because the logical arguments would be the same). Then again these articles generate clicks while I'm sure most would eyeroll a fingerprinting article.
The one that sticks in my mind is that same shape and number but expressed as “a golden cube who’s side is a tennis court’s length”.

If you've ever seen a tennis court, you know exactly how big that would be. It also works equally well regardless of metric or imperial background.
You and I are using different definitions for “post” and “conscious”, not sure how to move forward with such differences.
