> Likewise, if you heard someone had "dysthymia", you might have no idea what it meant, but you would recognize it was some sort of technical term

It’s true that there’s a downside to using regular words for technical terms, and the problem isn’t the regular words so much as the fact that people, all of us, love making assumptions, and we love demanding that words must meet a single literal interpretation exactly and completely. But something I’ve always thought is fascinating about Latin (edit: or Greek) technical terms is that for Latin speakers, they were regular words. Some of the Latin terms we think of as technical in English are even ridiculously generic in Latin. This using of regular words for jargon has always been there, it’s not something new. It would be interesting to know if Rome had the same issue with these ‘improper nouns’.

I love the call to attention though; recognizing that people might be saying something different than what you think is incredibly useful. Realizing that my reactionary incredulity is actually me misunderstanding the words because I know less about the subject than the other person, that keeps me from making an ass of myself often. Not always, but often. :P

It's e/OS that's getting regularly updated, right?

If you had never flashed a custom rom and stayed with Samsung's Android that came with the phone, would you still be receiving regular updates?

It sounds like you’re saying that as long as their aren’t negative consequences, then the protests are fine. Is that accurate or an oversimplification? I think by definition there need to be consequences, as that is what forces people to notice and to talk. A common retort to this is that it will actually harm the movement more than help it, since the press that is generated tends to skew negative, but the research on the blowback effect is inconclusive.

Also, do you think that the climate crisis is not an economic issue?
He mostly seems to list his hobby projects on his website, not his paid work (except https://textsynth.com and I don't know what else). E.g. he is CTO of Amarisoft. His actual productivity is greater still.
But times change and so has technology.

Adversaries have access to this technology too, and it's a power multiplier. If they can shut down access to those they are oppressing, then they become far too powerful.

Yes, protesters can still protest, but without access to the same tech that those they are protesting can use, they can be out-organized, their voice muted, and their effectiveness minimized.
I think as headline "one million queries per second" is not particularly exciting these days. MySQL 8 had shown more than 2mil simple queries/sec few years ago and more than 1 million just IO bound queries

The great thing with PlannetScale and Vitess is what it is horizontally scalable while MySQL itself is not, though you need higher headline number for things to get exciting.

Ah, okay we had.

> Despite the often longer life-expectancies, nuclear pacemakers quickly became a part of the past when lithium batteries were developed. Not only did the technology improve, allowing for lighter, smaller, and programmable pacemakers, but doctors began to realize that this excessive longevity of nuclear pacemakers was excessive. Lithium pacemakers often last 10-15 years allowing for doctors to check in on their patients and replace either the batteries or the pacemakers themselves with new and improved technology as it is develops in those 10-15 year spans.

From a California / Ireland perspective, I suspect Sweden and Finland are, SATW notwithstanding, pretty much the same, culturally and economically. And from what I've seen (53 years living in Sweden and Finland) they're also internally pretty uniform on the North-South axis (e.g, our kid had an almost car-free bike route to school here in Helsinki), so you don't have to limit your search to just the northern parts.

> because they cared and getting their share of the profits

I think many do not feel the profits are shared equitably. Furthermore, many companies, despite providing enough value to the world to make money, aren't doing something good (consider a media giant making money off ads while pushing low quality content). Working in a company like that isn't inspiring - you do what's needed, but it's hard to see yourself as making the world a better place.

I humbly recommend people in those scenarios consider looking into something more meaningful. A good place to start is this job board that focuses on companies that are trying to make the world a better place: https://80000hours.org/job-board/

I run infrastructure for a company that provides medical records services to medical organizations located exclusively in the US and have to deal with the usual scans/exploit attempts that come with running services on the public internet. Somedays I think it's just bonkers that anyone in China or Russia or wherever is allowed to contact my servers. I know that the internet is a "network of networks" to use an older term, and I don't really see an alternative, but it still strikes me some days.
Usually such a comment is a reference to a certain American media mogul who has tried to swing several recent elections and found themselves largely preaching to the choir with a very much reduced audience.

In fact, the people in charge in Australia are basically the voters. It upsets some people that Australian voters behaved basically the same as voters in every other democratic country in the post-1970s inflation and post-cold war liberal periods.
"As such, it is supposed to require fewer CPU and memory resources, provide better startup times, and be easier and cheaper to deploy."

So we don't even know if it actually makes things faster? Startup are a none issue, CPU / memory is but you need proof for that.

I have the same thing, but in the opposite direction: I can read recursion, map/filter/reduce/any kind of higher order function (even the wonky haskell ones, like traverse) just fine.

But the moment I start seeing mutation, or for loops complex than a for each over a data structure (like nested ones, or while, or weird indexing) my brain completely shuts down. In my first professional job (F# developer) I had to look up how to write classes every time we created one (not often, to be fair).

I think it's all a matter of habit and familiarity, although I'll admit that finding places that program functionally (where I'm most proficient) is really hard
It's a band-aid solution really, but I can recommend you check out the launcher Lawnchair. It looks and behaves much like the stock launcher, but is far more customizable, letting you change the things you mentioned. Thankful that Android will still let you change out the launcher, at least.
It's a paradigm which makes a fair amount of sense on a touchscreen: it's an easy motion and it acts as a screen against accidental presses if the screen gets turned on in your bag or pocket. Translating it to a mouse makes no sense, and it probably only works that way because touch events are being turned into pointer events. In practice what should happen is a mouse click (but not a touch event) should move onto the lockscreen, or this screen should be skipped entirely if the device does not have a touchscreen or is a laptop with a touchscreen which is covered when it's in a bag.
To each his own, but I sincerely hope people use their college/university years to experiment and try out new things - and don't solely focus on grades, at the expense of everything else.

Both. In general Android exposes more dimensions compared to iOS.
Hm interesting that the quoted text argues in terms of bandwidth. A 4K resolution has 16x as many pixels as a 1K resolution. So if you can run two 4K monitors then shouldn't the bandwidth allow you to run 32 1k monitors at equal Hz? Same for the 2x 4K at 120Hz vs 8K at 30Hz. 8K is four times the pixels than 4K. At a fourth of the refresh rate, shouldn't it be also two 8K monitors? I am not very knowledgable when it comes to display protocols.

Sorry, I think it's too late. It may have become a good (albeit dumbed down and resource hungry) UI for tablets, but in the process you left out desktop/laptops PCs, and lots of people moved away because of this.
I had the exact same experience at the Delta counter in Atlanta. A Frenchman was having trouble understanding that he couldn't pay cash to check his bag. We paid for him (Amex reimburses us for Delta fees so we didn't take his cash) but otherwise he wouldn't have been able to fly.

Previously, I had always believed that in the US it was a law that places had to accept cash.

The solution only works if you modify the rules. The rule needs to say they always lie about which door to take. If they "always lie", then they would be forced to always make a false statement, including lying about the rules.
Alright i'll humor you: what proves the hunter biden laptop story? Last I checked some guy said he had it, and that it had damning evidence on it, but for some reason refused to produce said evidence, or any evidence that the laptop was bidens or that there was a laptop at all.

You'd think if the contents of said laptop were as damning as they were purported to be, they would be all over, yet the guy who supposedly had it didn't release it. Why?

Thanks, the papers you quoted seem to describe something with low losses (though i can't find explicit statements to that effect when skimming). I was under the impression that nonlinear optics will have huge losses, because it requires multiphoton interactions (which should usually have low cross sections), so will have to figure out which part of my intuition doesn't hold.

From Great Resignation to Great Regret?
The building and launching approach makes intuitive sense, but it runs against the feudal nature of large tech companies.

This point is perhaps clearer if we take Google as an example instead. Mid-level engineers attach themselves to a project or initiate it, then guide it past a certain point. Once promotion is secured, the project is dropped by its initiators. Staffed with lower-status engineers who were enrolled without the prospect of promotion, the project begins a gradual rot and the Google graveyard deepens.

The key concept here is that the projects are launched and fueled at the start explicitly for the chance of promotion. In the strategy you describe, with Facebook higher-ups mandating the top-down creation of various projects as part of the global strategy of the company, it would become risky for mid-level engineers to ever get involved. They would not have their names connected with the success of the projects as higher-ups would have imprinted themselves on it beforehand, but would be connected to its failure, whereas in the Google scene the 'moonshot' culture is well-established and limits this sort of blame. Due to massive opportunity costs, Facebook employees would be better off trying to get promoted through the traditional channels, or to quit and pursue the promising ideas themselves and hope to get bought out eventually.
It's truly awesome and has nearly become synonymous with emulation on Linux.

Of course without things like KVM, and assorted accelerators, etc. it would lose a fair bit of luster. We all stand on the shoulders of giants to some degree.

Nonetheless, I don't know of another free emulator that even comes close... are there any to speak of?

This is misleading. Android implemented full disk encryption around Android 5 (it's on 13 now), and later transitioned to file based encryption because it's a better fit for mobile phones.

You might be surprised to hear that the iPhone also doesn't have full disk encryption - it used file based encryption as well.

I've recently moved to GNOME on Fedora 36, and I just wish they stopped being hostile to themeing.

No, Adwaita is not pretty. No, I don't want to use the default window decorations. And I most certainly do not want to have to install extensions to have a decent dock, proper top bar applets, etc.

I have no idea where GNOME gets its UX expertise, but they are well off the mark where it regards what people expect from a normal desktop experience these days.

The Mets are looking to build the next generation of tools to bolster our baseball decision-making. Our goal is to unify data from the front-office to our minor league backfields. The technical work ahead of us requires leaders who can help tackle green-field projects that leverage modern tech processes and UX principles to make the most of analytical advancement. We are looking for senior technologists who can help grow our team through mentorship, guide the design of user-centric tools, and ultimately help the Mets win more baseball games. We are also looking toward the future to build out cutting-edge nascent technology around computer vision - super exciting time to be a Met! Please inquire for more details. Thanks and LGM!

The cops have way too much money, too much power, and are basically immune from responsibility. Plus there is a ton of evidence to show police don't reduce crime. You reduce crime by improving quality of life, which seems like the antithesis for capitalists these days. The people in charge only want to "help" the poor insofar as it helps move the money into their own pockets.

You're being disingenuous. Think about this. The authorities wouldn't blanket shut down the Internet, they'd do it for the protesting populace, but leave their own access untouched. Protests largely suceeded in prior times because the capabilities of the populace vs. the government were largely symmetrical.

That would not be the case in this instance. You (the protestors) would be back to runners, unencrypted radio/code. They'd still have the modern comm suite.

It doesn't make things impossible for protestors, but it greatly shifts things in the government's favor for containment and ability to sustain itself against a now unconsenting populace. Always remember asymmetry will be employed as early and often as possible.

It doesn't seem like a language issue, but a user error. One person with a lot of knowledge about MIT says to someone with no knowledge of MIT "Go to the Green Building" with no further context, that's on them. Likewise, if you're told to go to the Green building, look around and nothing immediately jumps out, you'd ask for directions, or an address, i.e. a unique identifier that sort of transcends language. "Ah, building 54, thanks". (And let's not discount that maybe the person talking about the Green Building might be unaware of the green building, or even colorblind)

People can be obtuse to show off insider knowledge. Readers can find stuff for which they weren't the intended audience (which is very common post Internet). However, it is important that it seems like even when there's a complete lack of context around the improper noun, our brains are good at understanding that the phrase might mean something else, and we can choose to look it up or not be bothered. I'm not sure if any more signifier is needed. Writers might not even know they're using an improper noun, afterall.
