Some of my friends have given their kids FitBits for similar reasons (watch + step tracking + it could be integrated with a phone if the kid has one).

But I don't get the idea of an Apple Watch... I'm a small adult and even with the smallest straps standard Apple Watches are WAY too big for my wrists. How big are these kids?!?

Also... a full Apple Watch seems like an expensive option for kids who might be playing outside. My husband is an athlete and he's actually scratched his watch because it got dropped from waist height while he was getting changed. It's a small scratch, but still... he takes decent care of things, wouldn't a five year old wreck it?

I like the idea of kids having access to tech but an Apple Watch seems like overkill.
I mean it’s a Tabloid.

How would the every day person gather and protest. How would they know?

Honest question - how would you know?

- The problems will not be on the radio / tv.

- Services that try to talk about it can be silenced.

- Users who talk about things the government finds inconvenient will be silenced - its already happening.

- Groups trying to organize to protest things are already banned in some cases on facebook (see Australian response to covid vaccine mandate groups).

Governments can plan for and have shut off valves to silence you.

Do not be so quick to trust a government who obviously does not want to trust you.
Social media censors partly because of pressure from governments that make it clear that regulation will be coming if they don't do it "voluntarily".
In our case, our Org was the organizer, and we had a bunch of co-organizers.
The only way to step-up as Organizer is to pay. None of us wanted that, and we were expecting the group to be destroyed after some time.
I wan't also expecting meetup to "sell" the group to "anyone", maybe not being a member of the group, and not being a co-organizer.

Co-organizers can do almost anything BUT delete users or close the group.

Did our Org let us down on that ? sure.
Was it cleat that anyone could take-over the group ? clearly not.
What can we do ? Well, none of the comments helped on that... Meetup.com support neither...

Oil/gasoline mixture. No requirement that there needs to be lead in the gas, as far as I've ever heard.
Maybe if there weren't taxes on so many things and the system were more reasonable, easier to navigate, and easier to understand, people would be more compliant. It's annoying that government in most western countries insists on involvement in so many aspects of daily life. This is meant as a general comment, not specific to France.
Android is more customizable for sure but the default behavior does matter and the default state of android devices almost invariably feels advesarial and cheap.

KDE, MATE, and Cinnamon seem like great desktop environments and potentially better implementations of the "Windows-style" (i.e. Windows 95 through Windows 7) desktop environment than Windows these days. I'm glad they exist even if I don't personally use them.

But I'm also glad that the GNOME folks have decided to chart a different path even when that results in the occasional (or not-so-occasional) design misstep. Trying new approaches and making mistakes is the only way to create something new. And in a world where KDE, MATE, and Cinnamon exist, turning GNOME into yet another Windows-style desktop environment for Linux seems like a colossal waste of effort.

Having said that, it is puzzling to me why so many Linux distributions have chosen GNOME as their default shell instead of one of the more conservative desktop environments. Possibly Red Hat's influence?

Contracts Counsel | https://www.contractscounsel.com/ | REMOTE (UK, Europe, US) | Full-time | Python/Django/MySQL/AWS | Senior Full Stack Developer | US$50-$110k

I am the CTO at Contracts Counsel, and we develop an online marketplace to connect lawyers with clients in the US marketplace, and to support them working together on projects. We have a number of exciting opportunities, and therefore need to expand the development team. We are financially secure and profitable, hitting profitability at the end of 2021. We are looking to further accelerate our growth.

I am looking for our next developer, reporting directly to me. We are using Python, Django and MySQL on the back-end, Javascript and jQuery on the front-end, all deployed on AWS. As part of a small developement team in a start-up, you will be involved with all aspects of the development process: specification, development, testing, release, support.

Ideally, the developer would work core-hours of 10-4.30 (UK time), with a brief stand-up at 10 each day. I have grown development teams successfully in previous start-ups, but I am still open to ideas for improvements.

Interview process consists of: short coding test (should take no more than 1 hour); 30-minute remote interview; 60-minute remote interview. I have hired successfully from Hacker News before.

We have ambitious plans to grow quickly in an environment where data is sensitive, so any experience of scaling, security and robustness would be helpful. Any experience of start-ups, legal and/or online marketplaces would also be useful, but is not required.

Please apply by sending your C.V. to me, with a short paragraph about why you would be a good fit for the role. Feel free to contact me with any questions. recruitment AT contractscounsel DOT com
I feel like I should preemptively apologize and I'm really not trying to knock the project in any way, and the achievement is pretty epic, but those who have seen my username on this site before know what's coming, especially in regards to people seriously considering using WX Widgets on the web...
This app is inaccessible. Audacity on its own is already a bit difficult to use with a screen reader, but sadly, this port, unsurprisingly, is even worse. I've managed to at least explore some of the UI using OCR, but it was very cumbersome and I could never get it to do what I wanted.
Just uttering my careful warning that you should please, please, please think 3, 4, 5 times before deciding to actually use this UI library for serious projects. The benefits of using what the browser already gives you is that, if you're not going too crazy, accessibility comes for free and there's very little you need to do to make sure that we can still use your app.
Again, I understand that this is a port of Audacity, and I believe that what we can do in browsers is pretty amazing and my aim is not to discourage anyone from trying out new things. I'm just saying that this app is 100% screen reader inaccessible so please make sure you have a valid reason for keeping out users with disabilities (hint, you almost never do) by using WX widgets drawn directly to a canvas. And if you do, please think hard about what you can do to still keep your app accessible. I'm sure there are ways to add accessibility to a web port of WX, but if you can, sticking with the things the browsers give you is usually the better idea.
Here is Apple's pitch on this:

Nope. That's why I said if you're unsure or don't know, ask.

> 2) Process can solve all of our problems

I'm gonna have to stop you right there, if only because process gets a bad rap from people who have never tried to implement systems in which more than a handful of parallel agents can safely work without stomping on or interfering with one another.

Process is critical to coordination. You cannot "thread-safe" without the right process primitives. While I'm using the computing term, I'm using them in a non-computing/abstract system way. Information doesn't magically communicate to the parties who need it. Process gives you the blueprint to quickly create an environment whereby people can do their thing, but information still propagates to those who need it.

If people follow it.
It would be nice if you read the source, and understand what is mentioned before going all knee-jerk about banning knives. Please quote the source where it says India is "banning" anything here.
True, but Ryanair is an EU-based airline (and obviously Berlin is in the EU).
I don't know if Google is serious about stores, but the one in Chelsea in NYC is in an extremely high foot traffic location (right across the street from Chelsea Market), in a building they already own. And Google NYC is way bigger than Google Austin. I don't think starting there rather than Austin shows they aren't serious.

Also, FWIW, the store is pretty nice! Has a much warmer feel than an Apple store.
> Jeff Ravencraft, president and COO of USB-IF, told Ars that USB4's multi-monitor support depends on the computer "and is a question of how many streams a host can support, but "from a bandwidth perspective, the maximum is four 1K monitors at [a refresh rate of] 120 Hz, two 4K monitors at 120 Hz, and one 8K monitor at 30 Hz."

Two 4k monitors at 120hz? Does anyone have experience getting that kind of resolution + refresh rate over a single TB4 cable? According to the bandwidth calculator I use, it is less than 40Gbps, but I guess color bitrate can bump it over if you're using an HDR monitor.
This misses the most vital component of giving bad news - seeing it from the perspective of the receiver. I've seen leaders go through all the steps listed here, and then the first question is still, "Fine, OK, but tell me precisely how that impacts me."

People do care about the whole story, but they care about themselves first. If they do not fully understand what impact the bad news will have on their daily life, you did not communicate it well.
Yes I read and you can see clearly on charts switching of AC for 1/3 of time (8 hours) saves only ~10% energy. So yes, you will save negligible amount of energy by having switched off AC for non-negligible amount of time.

> It's a convenient myth that not turning off the heating when you're not home saves energy

Stop twisting my words, I didn't say anything like that, I just said thosae savings are negligible and irelevant.
Youtube vanced require(d) an update approximately annually, but it has an auto-updater utility so it's just a few taps to do. Most hacked apps are similar (although there is no consistency).
I like this piece, but it basically measured which app do you use more. If they wanted to really drill in, they should have had folks compare performance on new accounts. I still suspect TikTok would win? But you’d get cleaner results.

I don't think the student looked into that at all, but I guess it depends on what the Java client uses for drawing. GraalVM Native Image currently doesn't support AWT on Linux/JDK17+, but we are working on fixing that soon.
The spec allows for analog audio output, it just requires a multiplexer IC on the device-side. This is how passive USB-C to 3.5mm audio dongles work, but not all devices support it (since they either don't have the mux, or don't have a DAC, or the designers were lazy).
The interesting bit I took from the article was the curl-impersonate project. I could see some benefit in developers starting to implement this in other projects such as yt-dlp [2] to reduce the risk of being blocked in the future. They mention Cat and Mouse in the article. That has been the case with yt-dlp and other video download utilities.

Perhaps you should ask yourself why you think the ends justify the means. After all, you can only despise Nazis due to some underlying principles, and yet you seem to have trouble understanding that other principles may also matter.
> I'll do everything for a bit more fps.

Native compilation usually makes things a little slower, not faster. Using the closed-source Enterprise version, and using PGO gets it back to around the same speed as the VM version I believe currently.
Generally they are just a wedge-shape that gives enough friction at the bottom of the door so that the weight of the door or strength of the closing mechanism can't overcome that friction.

I had a funny parallel to the Green building example. (That people assume is the color green but is named after the person with surname Green.)

At a conference, Effective Altruism Global 2016, on the Berkeley campus, they kept referring to (what I parsed as) the "poly room", which I assumed was a room sponsored/organized by the polyamory community (which has a non-trivial overlap with EA).

Only later did I realize they were saying the Pauley room, which (like Green above) came from the donors' surnames.

The thing is, I try to be super vigilant about ambiguous parsings. If there's a board game called "Five", I would never induce confusion by asking "Do you have Five?" instead saying, "Do you have the board game Five?" If I went to MIT and were taking to an outsider, I would probably refer to it as the "Ida Green" or "Cecil Green" building.

(Side note: At Texas A&M, they warn you that if someone refers to the "coldest buliding", you probably misheard them saying "the Koldus building".)
Coincidentally, I'm finishing my second week as a consultant on a check-in modernization project for an airline. Most airlines are still using systems from 20+ years ago, and while they mostly work, they are EOL from the vendor.

Anyway, this change would throw a wrench in this project's plans, but at least they have something in progress that can track it. For airlines that haven't yet started or even planning to replace the old system, they are going to have to scramble.

Airlines already collect money when you check in in many cases: seat/class upgrades (both pushed by the airlines check-in process to up revenue) and extra bags, and a few other things. Moving the payment collection for the ticket itself to time-of-reservation to time-of-check-in would take work, but probably not totally upend the modernization plan.
I agree, I was only speaking to whether JG Wentworth is such a company. It is not.
also it would let you have a common target (wasm) for plugins so it doesn't matter if you're running on ARM/x86
"Uninstall" in the case of system apps is more of a "hide the icon" than uninstall.
I'd cheat in a slightly different way.

If the data are employee ages, you know that they are probably integers[0] and certainly bounded between 0 and 128.

Bin the ages into years and accumulate the per-year and total counts, which is a snap: O(N) time, O(1) space, and trivial to parallelize. Find the bin where the cumulative sum is equal to half the total counts and you're done.

[0] Even if they're not integers, you probably don't need ages more granular than a day, which is still a manageable number of bins (~50k).
Thats not correct. When placing these orders a sales person will put a sku code or a in house reference number on the quote document that doesnt actually mean anything to a normal person and agree to do work that the implementation team cant or wont do (this should sound familiar to people here). Ive seen this done personally.

They also dont charge all up front and might just want a deposit. So they might not realize the cost is higher. Its very easy for a immoral salesperson to try and get a customer to unwilling pay for something. And they have incentives to do so.
Microsoft Power Automate[0].

This tool scares the hell out of me, as a sysadmin, with end users who have no education re: software engineering (and potentially really wonky mental models about software) developing potentially business-critical tools/processes out of the IT equivalent of "glue and tape".

This is especially scary to me because building on "evergreen" platforms like Office 365 means that critical emergencies and downtime could occur at the whim of platform owners making changes to the underlying platform. Spacebar heating.. all that... >sigh< (And I'll be expected to fix it when it breaks and the user who made it has left...)

There is a very useful metric that helps to understand how to listen to different people:

"I have to listen carefully to <m> out of every <n> words they say."

I particularly admire people for whom n is small and m/n is close to 1.
I said "not even 10%", they say "up to 11%" (at best), so I wouldn't say I am underestimating the effect at all.

There is also LuneOS [0], its sort of a successor that is built using a combination of Open webOS components and android components, and uses a web rendering engine (Qt WebEngine) for UI and app development.

It's available on a few devices (I have it running on a pinephone; also tried running on a galaxy 4 but got stuck in a boot loop). The wiki is a bit out of date, but there is an active community on their IRC [1].
