> Except it does work, for charging at least.

Most phone can charge off of the base 5V/3A profile, so it works for phone.

But many bigger devices don't. I think most laptop only charge off of 20V mode, so it won't work if the charger can only do 5V or 9V. Some tablet also only do 9V, refusing to charge on 5V.
>What is keeping people still on Android if the flagships have so many issues?

Many things boil down to research I'd have to do to convince myself of feature parity for things important to me. Micro SD cards are mostly gone from Android and also not so important to me as they once we're, so that reason is effectively gone. In no particular order:

1. You're stuck with iMessager, which at least means I can't keep Signal as my default messaging app, and probably means other downsides.

2. Old ipods and my iPad don't seem to even allow file transfer with my computer via USB. I don't know if you can transfer files directly to/from external hard drives.

3. Lightning cables (maybe iPhones don't have these anymore?)

4. I suspect that there are missing features if you don't have a MacBook, but I haven't looked into it.

5. I have apps I know and like. For starters, I would have to find a podcast app that I liked. AFAIK you still can't use FF with ublock origin on iPhones, which means I would have to migrate all my browser activity to something else.

6. Keeping my Android phone at least lets me pretend that I'll migrate over to GrapheneOS like I should.

7. I like having access to FDroid. AFAIK, iPhones have no analogue.

8. It seems like the iPhone mini is missing a fingerprint reader, which means only the SE is appealing.

Anyway, I thought pretty hard about it with my last phone because 2 of 4 Apple phones are the best 2 smaller phones, but it would be a lot of inconvenience just to have a smaller phone.
Possible and fairly frequent - smaller components are sensitive to smaller energies. It's one of the reasons satellites don't use modern chips - they're too sensitive, bigger transistors and higher energies survive radiation better.

One significant thing that has changed since then though is that in many cases, much of the RAM in use isn't doing something truly critical. Gigabytes are spent holding data, not behavior, so it manifests as a sightly miscolored pixel or a minor calculation difference. The odds of random flips changing something that'll be noticed are much lower.

And truly critical stuff often runs multiple machines simultaneously, to detect one of them disagreeing. Which is much better than ECC, as it'll catch all flips anywhere, at the point it becomes relevant. Assuming you're not truly unlucky, and have similar flips on multiple machines.
> the upcoming, yet unnamed headset will offer “the ability to now have eye contact in virtual reality, have your face be tracked so that your avatar is not just this still thing, if you smile, or you frown, or you pout, whatever your expression is, to have that actually in real time translate to your avatar.”

It will never have the fidelity of a simple video stream. To make a virtual reality, you have to shut out the real reality, which necessarily means something covering your face (well, more specifically, your eyes - but we are a long way from being able to do VR with contact lenses).

In shutting out real reality, VR is an absolutist experience, you are either in it, or not, and if you are in it you cannot experience anything else (like drink a coffee, jot on a notepad, answer the phone) unless imported into that VR.

For these reasons, general use VR/AR is DOA.
This happened to me in 2006 as part of an attempt not to payout a large severance package, so I don't think it's anything new.
> up to charging it so quickly the device oveheats (140w USB c charger into either phone)

That isn't how USB-PD works / a problem with USB itself, The device being charged controls the rate of charge: Sinks (in this case, your phone) request a voltage and current from the source, going off of a list of what the source reports that it supports. If the phone can only support say 10W charging it's going to request 10W of power regardless of how oversized the charger is.
My guess is that TDD probably works well enough for external consultants or outsourcers, where you have to come up with really good requirements in advance. That said, if you have really good requirements, any methodology will work.

A funny pattern I noticed is most TDD debates is that whoever challenges TDD always comes up with concrete examples, and TDD advocates always stay incredibly vague.

There's a good discussion between DHH and Martin Fowler/Kent Beck on TDD: https://martinfowler.com/articles/is-tdd-dead/

You can also look up Ron Jeffries and Peter Norvig attempts at sudoku solvers. Guess who actually solved the problem, and who wrote 5 blogs posts without getting anywhere?

TDD is snake oil.

>Pretty sure when the Switch launched it's 15V 2.6A spec wasn't part of the PD standard. Not really any different from the myriad of phones out there with their own custom fast charging protocol like OnePlus.

You missed my point entirely. The speed of the charging is not the issue here. It shouldn't matter what PD or fast charging protocol Nintendo or OnePlus would use, they should all be backwards compatible to legacy slow-charging and trickle charge from any type-C charger ever made, which is a lifesaver in an emergency and is why the type-C connector is a godsend.

Nintendo fucked up the pin-out on the connector making it completely non-standard and incompatible to any other type-C charger released. The speed of their charging protocol was not the issue.

The consequences of global warming used to be a “future” concern. Starting to feel like that was extremely optimistic.
Wikimedia (the parent of Wikipedia) pays most people at Wikimedia very generously. The issue is most people involved, outside of tech, contribute little or nothing to Wikipedia which is the reason people are donating.
Technically correct but practically beside the point. That's not how humans work.

What stops people from just eating more of those healthier foods is that they make you feel full more quickly and longer with the same amount of calories.
I would assume they are talking about HPV which causes cervical, oral, and other cancers effecting men and women.

Condoms are at best ~70% effective at preventing HPV transmission so the “unsafe” part doesn’t really strike me as apt. Generally everyone who is sexually active has at least one strain of HPV.

HPV vaccination seems like the optimal strategy. It’s so weird to me that initially it wasn’t even offered to boys.
That just mean the charger is underpowered.
Your first point is fair I guess but nothing to worry about really. The up-front cost is virtually zero (just find a friend to agree to do this with you), so if your friend wants to bail you could try find another friend.

Your second point shouldn't be an issue for anyone who has some level of maturity and/or values their relationship with their friend... not like it is likely to break a friendship but it seems like a dick thing to do.
"Leon uses AI concepts, which is cool." - somehow this really discouraged me from looking deeper into it.
I’m using Musi (which is designed to stream songs off youtube). Behind the scenes, it likely uses mechanisms akin to popular youtube downloaders, and is finicky where age-restricted videos are concerned.

But with it, I’ve yet to see a single ad and it can play audio from youtube in the background.

It can find and play playlists but has a poor story of following channels. You cannot navigate to a channel with it and binge on videos from it.

Hardware runs a gen behind but it's fine enough with stock android.
Around the time of the Pixel 3 Android seemed to have all the momentum and Apple seemed to be flailing around trying to find ways to sell even more expensive and gimmicky hardware to their existing users. Since then Android seems to have really stagnated and Apple has fixed most of the shortcomings of their OS and introduced some good models at lower price points. There are still some things I prefer about Android's UX and I strongly dislike how locked down iOS is but most people are probably better off buying an iPhone now.
i think people underestimate just how many commercial images effectively fall within the 'ambience' category.
i'm really convinced that in the mid to longterm, the only viable future for human artists will be a matter of GANs being subjected to the same sort of social stigma that is attached to other forms of highly economically lucrative, but morally dubious practices like child labour. ultimately sustaining a living in art has always been a matter of convincing the layman that what we produce has value and this will be the same at scale. if society does not value human-made art, there wont be any.
The solution isn't simple, because the problem is that we have bodies that are evolutionarily designed for a world of extreme calorie scarcity that are living in a world of extreme calorie abundance.

Our deep genetic firmware hasn't been programmed to deal with this kind of extremely unnatural corner case, and we're collectively breaking because of it.
The Arabic alphabet is no more complex than the Latin one. That's definitely not a good example.

Oh wow, seeing this on the front page makes me nostalgic of my bachelor thesis for the creator of SDSL 10 years ago. I remember getting the question "did your resulsts get merged into SDSL?" during the defense and, unfortunately, I had to say no because they weren't useful in the end.

I think the part for extracting capsaicinoids is essentially the same with the original subjective (i.e. organoleptic) Scoville test.

However, there's a difference in the method for quantifying pungency. In the original Scoville test the extract (diluted in water and sugar) was given to a taste panel, decreasing the concentration until the majority (say 3 out of 5) of the panelists couldn't detect any pungency. The amount of dilution needed to achieve that was then used to get an estimate. [1]

That is now superseded by using chromatography (like what is done here) to get more precise and objective numbers. (but you could possibly argue that maybe data on the subjective effect is what we really want)

I think the notion is the index fund is simply buying a stock because it has a certain market cap. It is not evaluating the fundamentals of the company.

The algorithmic art is similar in the sense that it is an averaging of previous effort. People made art and it was fed into the algorithm. The algorithm is some weighting of the art it was fed. Analogously, people who thought about companies bought and sold the stock. It landed at some price. The index fund just followed that.

There has been criticism of index funds [1] and defense [2] as far as price discovery.

Other people have raised the possibility that an index fund holding large amounts of competitor companies is an antitrust issue. [3]

It is preferable to die of "old age" (including heart disease or dementia) at 90 than from cancer at 35. Yes, eventually everyone dies, but some early deaths are preventable, it seems to be half of cancer deaths, some car crashes, suicides etc. This means we can and should do something about it.
By outside, I mean outdoors.

By bringing "the cold" from outdoors inside, you're going to need an energy source to heat it back up when your home is in heating-mode. Even if you put it inside a small island of cold inside your home.

On a net basis, you've made your home colder.
I don't really care about 'stock', tbh. It just needs to run the apps I want to run, and it's nice if it can also take decent photos. I would also strongly prefer for it to preserve my privacy, but I realize that's kind of a wash between Google and Apple.

right, it's the most optimistic possible scenario, if all of the assumptions (of which there are a lot) are correct and as you point out, all omissions (of which there are a lot, despite the length) are negligible. there are some citations, but the narrative project a certain future way beyond what the meager research suggests.

the article does provide a nice survey of clean tech, but the conclusions should be disregarded.

That upload that is the only way to load data onto your phone for many apps, that the phone is auto-opted into and that only Apple can offer? That one? The one that literally no competitor can replace since it uses special Apple entitlements?

I'm not a chemist, either, and all the methodology was, um... only academically interesting to me.

But there already are Scoville ratings of peppers. I don't know how those were derived, or whether this guy's methods produce better results. As someone else says, the Scoville ratings aren't always useful, so it would be nice to have some easy test for whether you should pop that thing into your mouth.
Clojure is hands-down the best programming language I've used.

That said, I'm still holding out hope that it'll be hosted on top of something other than the JVM -- frankly, the JVM keeps me from using it more than I otherwise would.
What a shock legal philosophy like non-profit status does nothing to mitigate human biology’s goal of optimizing for self.

It would be nice if we’d stop deluding ourselves that “rule of law” is any better than “rule of theology”.

Distant caretakers expropriating communal effort of “free people” under law may as well be an unfalsifiable divine mandate.
You're only paying for their disks. Admittedly it's more expensive than snapshot-and-restore, but it's much cheaper than leaving the instance running.
I find it a bit “unethical and misleading” of the author to list 2007 expenses and 2022 assets. As a sibling comment points out, it’s really only <4x current annual expenditures, which, leaving aside disagreements on whether that level of spending is justifiable, doesn’t seem unreasonable.
I wish the internet was a free speech zone. In practice, legally speaking, the internet has all the downsides (legally) of written communication, and none of the upsides of physical free speech.

The internet simultaneously amplifies speech (this is not new: the printing press did so even more); but, it also concentrates speech. I'm not sure anyone thought about what that latter part would mean.
I think it's important to hold people responsible for negligence that causes harm to others, even in the tech industry.
The gripe with index funds is that they wouldn't work if everyone used them.

I am not familiar with this library, but if it does what it should then ofcouse is bigger, with react you just get a way to render divs and spans on screen, a GUI framework would give you say a DataGrid component with sort able columns and some advanced optimizations like windowing (aka a grid with 1 million rows will use same resources as a small DataGrid because it will only create enough DOM elements for the visible part and then recycle stuff).

>In a statement to L’Orient Today, the US Embassy in Lebanon said that “it is US government policy that all designs of Federal Reserve notes remain legal tender, or legally valid for payments, regardless of when they were issued. This policy includes all denominations of Federal Reserve notes, from 1914 to present.”

I don't know if the statement was actually made "that day" but the article is dated less than a year ago on 07 DEC 2021. Interestingly 80 years after PHD.

This seems like very up-to-date confirmation of a long-standing government policy, which some may think is therefore long overdue for change.

What if earlier issues were to be accepted for only a limited time to come, and further, exchangable for current bills only domestically? Depending on how far back the issues go which would turn out to be expired, this could amount to a little skirmish or even a significant salvo in something like a currency war.

If all brand new bills were prepared for this purpose, and all previous issues canceled, this would effectively require all foreign owners of US currency to register their "current" stake.
Apple scans files on your device to compare against known CSAM content.

One can imagine the false positive rate for the Google approach is likely higher.
I totally understand the frustration. Hop on the Conda train and don't look back. There is no performance penalty from using Conda for the boring stuff. The only thing it will cost you is more disk space. Otherwise, its an absolute joy to use. You know where everything is if you want to inspect packages, bin files, wheels, etc. It seems like chasing your tail when you install these things from apt, git, curl, pip and brew/choco. To me, I want to see where everything has come from and where it is going on my system. Conda gives me that in spades.
> IMO, any application for editing/powerusers with a plugin system should be using Python exclusively.

While I agree that python is often a good (or even the best) choice, I think the neovim team made a solid argument for lua (easier than C, faster than python).

Would you have chosen python for neovim, and if so, how would you have avoided excessive startup times? (keeping in mind that a terminal-based editor gets started many times throughout the day, as opposed to a GUI editor which you might only start once at the beginning of the day)

EDIT: btw, I wholeheartedly agree about the plugin system. Even with neovim, it's pretty confusing that many plugins are now available in original vimscript versions, or new lua versions. I tend to go with the lua versions, simply because I don't want the mental overhead of understanding two different plugin languages, in cases where I decide to fork and alter the plugin code.

Eh, a few users using naughty words on the internet doesn't really say much about what a site "is all about". Unless you're equating "naughty words" with "horrible person" and extrapolate a narrative about what such a person could possibly post. Which is a pretty Twitter-level view of the world..

Because it shows up on Linux as an output of the integrated graphics card (DP-X-Y in xrandr), and it also works in the BIOS or during Windows installation.

Before this, I had a DisplayLink dock that would not work on Linux without specific drivers.

True. What prevents cancer death is wingsuit basejumping and faster motorbikes. And war I guess, but that makes cancer death look attractive (and when you're working too close to the radar or DU ammunition is part of the equation, it can very well cause cancer death on top of all the "prevention")

There was a CP/M machine that I knew of that would only work when plugged in to the printer.

The reason turned out to be a ground fault. The computer used only a two prong plug for power. The printer used a three prong plug with proper ground and the centronics cable/connection between the two units had a grounded shell and shielding foil in the cable.
>Because Athens did not exist ten thousand years before Plato (something we can confirm through archeology) we know that Plato's account can't be true.

That is an assumption.

We have many places that use the same or similar names (England vs New England (us state). New Mexico(us state) vs Mexico. Its not inconceivable that there was more than 2 locations named Athens. 1 of which is currently lost buried or unknowingly called that.
There's quite a long list of viruses which have a knock-on effect of increasing cancer risk, although often by indirect routes. HIV of course damages the human immune system, and one immune function is the detection and elimination of cells that have escaped the normal cell cycle control (i.e. potentially cancerous). Hepatitis damages the liver and (often in conjunction with alcohol use) that can raise chances of cancer. HPV I think has a more direct effect, in that the virus actually can integrate into DNA and potentially (depending on the specific strain) disrupt cell cycle control. Here's a list:
