I keep thinking about solutions to these, as most of them feel artificial. Very often it's the social dimension of them which are harmful.

If something is important and I don't feel hugely guilty if I fail, I will enjoy time pressure.

Repetitive tasks can be amazing, analyzing the patterns and optimizing them away is a cool exercise. It hurts when people forbid you to do so ("don't write a script for this" "why are you changing this to do it your way, it's not right"). Same for imposed limitations.

Underperforming colleague is only an issue is if it's unspoken, not discussed or imposing secrets on you. If my colleague is slow then I want to reallocate the efforts so I can do a bit more to avoid him dragging down the team, and I just don't want the manager to bother me with slow perf if there's a slow guy nor I want that slow guy to force me to lie so he can stay his way. It just has to be open and optimized.

Unexplained broken code requires a shift in thinking: freedom to break it, freedom to get time to do so. You need to reverse the context, system and desired outcomes to improve understanding and fix it.

Another aspect is that I think adult life removed a lot of important emotional layers: no more open challenges that tame into natural competitiveness, that unleash positive pressure and brain activity leading to learning with more fun. A lot of jobs devolve into politics. Quite often I've heard people tell me "shh don't tell we're done so we can slack a bit". From the smallest jobs to highly paid engineer.. same behavior occurs. Kinda creates low levelling.
Decimal, the printing press, light bulbs, the power grid, telegrams, landlines, wireless data transmission (radio, TV, cell phones), computing machines, transistors, ARPNET, WWW, etc… to name a few.

All of which revolutionised humanity and were needed for the iPhone to ever exist. But also all of which were evolutionary ideas that emerged from several inventions predating it, already inching technology in that direction.

In short, we all stand on the shoulders of giants.
There are many tradeoffs in language orthography; 'phonics' (or phonology, rather) is not the only consideration. English orthography - especially the American one with Webster's correctives applied - is not obviously wrong or insane.
There was a big switch at one point to people doing the career for money, which is totally understandable. They may have never played with or fixed computers for the fun of it.
I was told by someone who had developed for both that S40 was much better for developers. Of course it was completely closed ecosystem except for J2ME apps so it didn't have much of future in competition with low end Android. I'd really like to know what Meltemi was like.
Came here to say this. Configuring php.ini is actually fun for me. I love reading through everything in the file and often end up learning new stuff!

> its price (300€)

> design-wise Apple products for example are miles ahead

Well yes, of course. The cheapest iPhone, the SE, which is of an old design and with an old chip, costs 500€+. You can't expect 50%+ price difference to result in no difference in what you get.

Premium Android phones closer to iPhone pricing are usually better design-wise.
The slab-phone was probably a response on the SonyEricsson P series that was really good, had a p900 myself (p800 2002,p900 2003,p910 2004). It's such a shame that SonyEricsson regressed in their design mojo because their 2006 followups of the series (p990, m600, w950) _decreased_ screen size and added front buttons (I started looking at other replacements until I got myself an iPhone 3G when they finally came out here).
I still miss my two last physical keyboard phones. Nokia E71 [0] as my last pre-Android/Apple-era phone, and HTC Desire Z (T-Mobile G2 in the USA) [1] as my first Android.

Thinking about it, I’d love an updated E71. Small, high-res touch screen, Lineage OS or something similar, physical keyboard. But that would be niche enough that it’d probably be very expensive for what it is.

The block if any should be at the user level per user and not at the admin level. No matter what gab user's beliefs are, it's wrong to dehumanize them. If anything, you're doing the same thing you're accusing them of doing: Dehumanizing humans with different (race)beliefs to commit (genocide) segregation.

Yes but they found a solution which works for 100% of users.

I don’t really understand the complain in this thread. Using an APFS volume just works and is entirely transparent to the user.

People could just learn instead of complaining they don’t understand.
Learned about these from Rust In Action book. Seems like programmers keep rediscovering stuff now and then.
I tried running the script (audio receiver) on two desktop Linux laptops running PipeWire and bluez, but my other computers (acting as an audio source) would not pick up the receiver advertising A2DP (0000110d-0000-1000-8000-00805f9b34fb), and the receiver's terminal prints neither "AuthorizeService" nor "Service rejected" (indicating that Agent isn't taking effect). What did I do wrong?
Your comment sadly repeats the same old software developer tropes, namely:

* Managers create all the problems,

* Problems not created by managers are created by my team members,

* Everyone around me is incompetent except myself,

* The problems I create have everyone else to blame but myself, because I'm flawless and I was just put in a bad situation.

* goto start.

I've been in a fair share of time-constrained problems, but honestly deadlines tended to slip because of a mix of emergent technical requirements that dev teams didn't managed to see beforehand, and scoping tasks that severely undershoot the requirements. Scoping and planning is hard, specially with limited info, and you can't reasonably allocate 10x the resources to your project just to have a decent slack in the critical path.

Also, bad code can and often is subjective,and I've seen competent and above-grade engineers underperform because of task- and life-specific issues.

It's high time that developers cease the "everyone around me is incompetent and responsible for al problems" mindset.
You really cannot perceive the difference between a few square inches on a newspaper page and a custom-minted coin?

They clearly hoped it would take at least weeks for a full solution, so they could have multiple press events. Or if not, they should have; incompetent either way.
Attacking bitcoin uses energy but does not degrade the computer or the energy infrastructure required to do the attack. Attacking PoS ethereum degrades the resource you use to attack.

When bitcoin was created there weren't hashpower markets where you could attack a chain without ever having invested in it and then move on the next minute, your hardware investment still earning you money. I think satoshi thought there would only be one chain and the game theory with many is different.
Homebrew sometimes pretends you can install it somewhere else. Like most things with homebrew, if you try, you will quickly realise this is not regularly tested.

> That's one hell of an odor.

That’s very much fine. They do that to be able to share the cache between system. There is nothing magical about the root folder by the way. It’s just Apple being annoying.
Rich text editor Lexical does not have a UI
you have to ask, why are they getting weirdos and north korean hackers. that's the reason i dont want to engage with these kind of companies.

if you're talking to hr at stage 1, it just means the automated system validated your application has all the right keywords. its a red flag for me.
Consumers don't care about open source software and Amazon's competitive advantage is not their software.
They didn't lose when the iPhones and Androids came out. They lost when at their peak because they became complacent. It just took a few years to manifest itself. If the leadership had been worth their salaries they would have known with every fiber of their being that Symbian was already dead. Both due to where hardware was going and because of the rather obvious answer to "how do the next 5 billion people get online".

Nokia was "old people in suits". I don't think the company was ever going to be capable of transformation.
> But AI-generated child porn, however nauseating it might sound, doesn't hurt anybody.

I suppose it must have been trained on something? Are you 100% sure it's cool to use the sum of all the images of all the children to generate child porn? Also there might be accidental resemblances to particular living children in the produced images, is that ok?
I think the real issue here is, we've reached the point where we need to realise (and can, for the first time ever) that there is no one, single teaching method.

Humans aren't off an assembly line. We have a collection of genes which enable capabilities, and further, those genes may be expressed or not.

Little Bobby may read via 12 genes, and Pete via 14 genes, with only 10 genes identical between them.

An example ; some humans cannot tell the difference between faces. Literally, some humans do not have the genetic framework to understand concepts conveyed in certain ways.

Why would teaching, learning, be different? And when we talk to people, listen to people regarding their learning experience (such as yours), it all seems subtly different. Unique.

That's because it is.

So teaching needs to be wrapped more, IMO, in the desire to convey info, but also, in the ability to realise that lessons are going to require individual nudging no matter what.

Thus, teaching methods should be less specific about "how to teach" and more about a framework to teach.
There does seem to be a lot of editing work required to get this working.

I would like to understand if there's a more automated way of doing this.
How would HRTF be 'performed once at the very end of the signal chain'? Dont you have to transform every individual signal/position before mixing? On the other hand I read somewhere ATMOS is encoded as an array of filters with positions, so decoding is merely a fourier decomposition, would love to learn more about that.
Perhaps the worst thing about the floppies still in use is that they're not even that floppy. You can't bend them without breaking them!

If we're going dedicated disk storage, I'd prefer something better. We had eSata for a while, but nobody used that. With today's SSDs, I can see a market where small eSata SSDs (or a variant thereof, carry some kind of NVME connector) take stuff to and from devices.

Alternarively there's good old SD-cards. They work with phones, with laptops, with desktops, they're dirt cheap and they're available in huge sizes. They're also easy to lose, often made from the worst flash memory produced, and can be WiFi cards and other weird expansions, but the attack vector is probably much smaller than USB.

In terms of security, the only real benefit floppies probably have is the terrible speed and the tiny capacity. Insert a USB drive with an exploit and a device is compromised within milliseconds, insert a floppy and you're spending several seconds listening to the disk being read. If something funky is going on, you have some time to yank the disk out. It's not much, to be honest, but it's something.
yeah there's an emotional threshold where you just can contemplate existence with a comfy mat of joy, even if totally passive and idle
That's true, but there are various jobs. Problem solving can be fun, but it can also be trying to fit something that's easy on paper into a badly designed or incomplete system, for the nth time.
SBCL 2.2.8
> [A school teacher] told me, "I find this idea offensive—that kids who come from poverty areas need a more structured and disciplined approach to learning than middle-class kids do. They may need more time on the decoding skills. But why shouldn’t they be exposed to the same kind of enjoyment about reading as other kids?"

You find this kind of attitude across many subjects, not just basic literacy and it's always been quite puzzling. My own guess is that the idea of "structured and disciplined" teaching is a lot more offensive to teachers than students at the proper level. In fact, it can introduce a sort of enjoyable 'gamification' to the task of building up competence in any skill.
No, they made a smartphone with UI/software first approach and thereby _matured_ it.

The 2002 SonyEricsson p800 (and the p900, p910 followups) kinda sniffed on the form-factor (it was basically the same if you disconnected the numpad) and software had all the features incl a "proper" browser (but not nearly the same polish).

Sadly it seems it was an isolated "enterprise" group that seems to have been hamstrung later (the followup phones made the form factor worse and the UI improvement was marginal compared to the leap the iPhone took).
You'd first have to decide which dialect of English would form the basis of the new spelling, which would be politically infeasible even if limited to those of the USA. By allowing (for example) the word "oil" to be pronounced as both "oiul" and "al", we've avoided the question of who is speaking "correctly".

After that, you'd need either new letters or a lot of diacritics if you want to avoid multiple readings of the same word. The letter "a" can be pronounced something like three or four different ways, and clearing that up would cause written English to resemble Pinyin (or maybe Croatian). When choosing the new writing system, try to keep existing computer support in mind or nobody will be able to backport your new system to ASCII-only text.
That's fairly literal. There are a few ways of fixing the core problem (e.g. continued issuance, increased blocksize, proof of stake) but bitcoin political ossification makes it look more likely the chain will die rather than make the necessary changes.
The thing that's wrong with magnetic media (specifically the floppy disc and audio tape) is that the head is in contact with the medium, which slowly wears it out. It only has a certain number of uses before it dies (also, the plastics will probably disintegrate at some point). Hard disks are much more reliable for longevity. Not sure about flash (or backup tapes - I assume they've been designed with longevity in mind)...
If you have IOMMU enabled (like any sane platform does), no external devices have direct access to your bus. I know the DMA attacks you’re referring do and they don’t work in 2022.
In Britain, 100 miles is a long distance. In the US, 100 years is a long time.
Not sure how much this applies for others, but it's certainly true for me. Social media have tainted the word “trending” for me, so it's not something that I would normally click on when I see it.

Investigators, Citing Looting, Have Seized 27 Antiquities from the Met
Also: In what political landscape will science being political be a bad thing? If you have harmony in your political landscape with the biggest differences between your political parties being about topics like taxes, whether privatization is good and how much to spend on social issues — given such an environment wouldn't it be the case that nobody cared if science was political?

So if science does what it always does (trying to find truth in hard questions that matter) and suddenly someone starts complaining about it being "political", one should also consider that it might not be science that changed, but the relationship political actors have with the truth.

Example: If you are the head of the flat-earth party any science reporting the earth as sphere-like would seem political (or even criminal) to you. But this would have nothing to do with science — and all to do with the mismatch between your believes and the reality out there.
Without taking a side here, remember that education and police protection are also expensive. Few would agree to the phrase, “Education is expensive, so claiming so many children have a right to free education is idiotic on so many levels.”

Transit is very expensive and the cost / benefit needs to be decided by the public. Governments also need a plan to pay for it. But I would not say it is idiotic just because it is expensive.
