We have backouts two days in a roll now at south bay. Both lasted over 6 hours, right at the honest hours of the day. My bedroom temperature reached 90 degree last night. This is maddening.
A mate of mine used to work in a place that manufactured segments of regular wood framed houses. They had painted outlines on the floor, so they could cut and assemble 2x4 frames at great speed. I think you would need to make a truly massive number of these before a robot would be more cost effective. I also think that 2x4 construction would create less waste than parts CNC cut from ply sheet.
This was Python's behavior until Python 2; `long`, the arbitrary-precision integer, was a separate type, and `int` arithmetic overflow caused a ValueError. One of the big changes in Python 2 was to imitate the behavior of Smalltalk and (most) Lisp by transparently overflowing `int` arithmetic to `long` instead of requiring an explicit `long()` cast. Python 3 eliminated the separate `long` type altogether.

Having been bitten by the Smalltalk behavior, I am skeptical that the Python 2 change was a good idea.

Another interesting twist is that mortgage interest is counted towards the CPI in Canada, so the increase in mortgage payments won't result directly in any loss of consumption demand. It may even increase it.
That doesn't invalidate the point that services exist that allow you to buy e-sims all over the world if you're travelling. And if you're travelling a lot the price difference is miniscule compared to the cost of travel and accomodation.
> These have much better cameras

They say that literally every year and I never notice.
I did forget about the camera bump, but I don't believe the numbers work out that it's adding .15" to the thickness of the phone on its own. I had a recent chance to compare the SE (2016) to my 13 Mini (my mother still has the original SE but is likely to upgrade soon, I was recommending the mini since, other than the home button, it mostly met her needs and would provide a better display for her aging eyes) and it's definitely not 50% thicker at any point. That would have been quite noticeable.

I'm not sure why the author of that post felt the need to write a follow up. Using ChromeOS is his choice. It might not mesh with the choices of others, but so what? We're all different and have different needs. Just because ChromeOS isn't what you (and I mean the more general you and not the person who submitted this to HN) or I would use doesn't make it the wrong choice for the author of the post.
The statement is not about the tech involved but about the social groups that tend to use different tech.

An EV in West Virginia would be pretty rare, as the range of EVs is inadequate for most uses and they are too expensive for most people. DC, which has considerably more wealth, and less distances to travel - there's a lot more EVs there.

So the people whose EV ran out of juice are fish out of water, but they got a nice helping hand from people who likely have very different politics.
If you buy a new pair of AirPods, you should never have to do that unless you go out of your way to unpair them from your iCloud account. Also, you e over complicated it - just hold the button in the case until it’s reset, then open the lid and they will appear as new.

No matter how you put it, paying a subscription fees to a private company to access basic emergency services is unethical.

There is a reason 911 works even if you donot have a SIM card.

I am not asking Apple to do any better, but this a place where government needs to step in and form some regulations.
Airalo works great for the 'load an esim while in the airport' use case. US Mobile has a similar offering but I haven't tried it out yet.
Get a degree in Aerodynamics and then successfully build and launch a rocket and satellite. Once you're done with those small potatoes, code an app so that everyone can connect to the satellite from their phone. Once that's done feel free to offer your lifesaving satellite service to the world for free, if of course after all the time, effort, and money you've invested you still think that nobody should pay you for your work.

Like the only fair alternative here that I can see is that governments give tax breaks to Apple to compensate for the essential service that is provided for free. Of course, you'll then get a bunch of Android users moaning that they don't have access and demanding that it's open sourced.

At the end of the day, someone, somewhere, has to pay for the monumental effort that goes into something like this.
I still use v2 and got an extra one in case that model will disappear from stores. The tap interface is so much easier to use than the actual button press
Thanks for clarifying, so you are indeed arguing what I thought: countries must respond to cyberattacks, unless if they are somehow "justified" by other alleged aggressions.

The particulars of the case you're trying to argue about Iran are irrelevant -- what matters is that you feel there are exceptions. Gotcha.
I was surprised to see the author refer to Elon Musk as "everybody's least favourite eccentric billionaire asshole". As far as I can tell, survey data indicates that Elon Musk is one of the most popular business figures in the world.

https://today.yougov.com/topics/economy/explore/public_figur...

Mark Cuban or Warren Buffett are more popular if you measure by (positive - negative) rather than just number of people with a positive opinion. But any way you slice it, Elon Musk is generally popular.

I genuinely think this feature is going to save lives. I've had friends before who have been in the exact target situation (got lost after nightfall in a remote location with no way to communicate) and only were found and rescued through absolute sheer dumb luck.
I appreciate it when a company asks about or tests my Myers-Briggs type early in the hiring process, because then I know that I don't want to work for them, and they wouldn't be happy with me either.

Win/win.
Maybe Apple could get a 30% cut of plans sold that way. Since they made the phone it's only fair.
It's even dumber than that! It used to "just work" when you landed in another country and tried to pull a single byte of data. But now you're required to call VZ and inform them of your trip beforehand. To make matters worse, not all of their reps know this and will tell you that isn't the case and leave you stranded with no coverage. I'm generally happy with VZ over the years but this is just pathetic.

A rep once explained this to me as "innovation". Cool.
The demand is enough that the govn't could pay Apple the whole cost of this program and save money on search and rescue just because "head to the location of the phone" is a lot easier than "carefully comb this entire mountain range".

And that's not even counting the lives saved.
They described the bandwidth as tens of seconds to minutes for sending single, short, compressed messages, with your phone aimed right at a satellite for the duration. This isn't the kind of network which you "roam" with.
would be nice, but garmin inReach is very specific in their wording to make sure you know that if you don't have an active subscription, your SOS call will NOT work. Subscription is the standard now so doubt apple would do differently. I was genuinely surprised by the 2 years free though. Garmin inReach mini is a $350 device with 0 free function out of the box without the subscription
I love how obsessed in a good way this person is. I wonder how many hours went in to this analysis? 60+ probably.
They should have made the analogous inverse operation: '1234' / 2 = ['12', '34']
I emphatize with your situation and it's a great example. As crazy as this may sound, I think you would have to build every possible permutation of your library and make all of them available on pypi. You'd need a some new mechanism based on metadata to represent all the options and figure out how to resolve against available system libraries. Especially that last part seems very complicated. But I do think it's possible.
Your parent post was present tense, not future. Prices today nor the last several years have been plummeting.
I'm not following, it doesn't really matter what they consider it - I don't remember it being done before (reducing payroll taxes). Currently both the employer and the employee pay a big chunk here. In addition sole proprietors and self employed individuals pay even more.

Maybe some of us are sick of Firefox fans taking this moralizing tone that we're somehow "damaging the cause" by simply speaking our mind when we disagree with your assessment. That doesn't make me a google shill, nor cynical. Just tired of the nonsense.
On the flipside, Yubikey and whatnot are still pretty niche.

That being said, I was hoping to see more touch ID webauthn so I'm not super hopeful. But we can hope!
debatable...lots of people with iphones still use watches and ereaders.

and for a life saving device like this i know a subset of people will not want it a part of their phone.

...but this will definitely take a LOT of business from garmin because i believe that subset to be pretty small.
those pandemic loans certainly helped too.
I just set up my iPhone with a Fi eSIM without having to get a physical SIM first. There are oblique references on how to do it at checkout that involve backing out of the default flow and then choosing your iPhone model from a compatibility list. It was quite the maze.
Yes, I can probably for myself still find out what they are saying. But this is about KF being removed from an archive site. Making it harder to prove what they are saying, and easier to lie about what they are saying. Who benefits from that?
That would kind of defeat the purpose, no?
That's not their market though, nor does it have to be. It's not like they're the only phone maker on the market.

How did they survive with such a degraded service, who is still using them when there are alternatives? Were they competitive back when they launched, but just couldn't fund maintenance? Iridium also had severe financial problems but their own constellation and services are still pretty reliable (all things considered), so I'm curious!
In Virgil I usually do "var x = 1/0;", but there's a command-line option "-fatal-calls=<method glob>", so you can crash on a call to a specific set of methods and get a stacktrace.

Odd strategy. Why wouldn't you just return the 14 Pro if you didn't like it?
I'm no longer sure what you're talking about. I am responding to this point:

> "Unfortunately every other Bluetooth headphones suck when it comes to connectivity and stable playing."

and it's complete rubbish. The vast majority of high end bluetooth headsets work just fine (some are even FAR better in terms of battery life, comfort, and range - with no stability issues at all)

I'm glad you get a slightly improved experience when you stay in your walled garden, but that has zilch to do with my point - I'm not in that garden.

So your response of "Well it works ok if you [do this thing you're not doing]" is mostly a tangent that's not relevant.
I'd agree he could be seen as a fun heel until this lawsuit. Bringing the court system into your cheating makes you an asshole.
I feel like each time we get so many features at each release (at an astonishing pace even so)? I know that Blender is well funded, and I’m sure that there are other companies that have the same budget (even more) for development. So what is special about Blender ? Amazing devs ? Good code base ? Good release presentation? All the above?
Just to be clear, package metadata already is sort of available through the pypi json api. I've got the entire set of all package metadata here: https://github.com/orf/pypi-data

$ gzcat release_data/c/d/cdklabs.cdk-hyperledger-fabric-network.json.gz | jq '. | to_entries | .[].value.info.requires_dist' | head
[
"typeguard (~=2.13.3)",
"publication (>=0.0.3)",
"jsii (<2.0.0,>=1.63.2)",
"constructs (<11.0.0,>=10.0.5)",
"aws-cdk-lib (<3.0.0,>=2.33.0)"
]

It's just not everything has it, and there isn't a way to differenciate between "missing" and "no dependencies". And it's also only for the `dist` releases. But anyway, poetry uses this information during dependency resolution.
> The challenge is that you personally need to report additional information for things like capital gains tax on asset sales, any credits/deductions you wish to claim, and changes in your living arrangements or life status.

One could argue that a basic principle of liberalism ought to be that if the government wants to tax you they should be responsible for calculating how much you owe according to the law. Or in other words, for every dollar the government doesn't demonstrate that you legally owe, you should not owe that dollar. Kinda like presumption of innocence, but for taxes.

Interesting stuff, but why share the hardware between multiple virtual machines instead of regular Linux users? Each video output port should have its own X or Wayland session.
You said private companies have a profit motive- if not, they die.

I used Amazon as a counter-point. Uber still isn't profitable. So if companies can run for over a decade without making a profit, I'd again say the entire system is broken.

Zombie companies burning capital while driving out possibly profitable competitors is a symptom of rot, not a successful financial system.

Again, my point is that for profit companies are every bit as bad if not worse than government agencies who at least pretend to have oversight.
But why convert it to binary? If you store the number as an array of digits the parsing process should be O(n).

Would you really switch to an iPhone just to use this watch? This is the thing with Apple products, especially accessories - only usable with a deeper dive in the lock-in.
I'm not surprised at all, but regardless they also should not be similarly surprised if people could not care less about that use case.
EVs can be powered by coal. ICE cars cannot. This is a dumb article.

US national parks alone had 297 million visitors last year, and it's not hard to find areas without coverage in many of them. Many state parks also have tens of millions of visitors each year.

I have never not lost cell coverage when going on a hike in the mountains, and I only go on casual day hikes.
Installing packages, creating a manifest of dependancies, managing virtual environments, packaging, checking/formatting code, etc... should be built into the Python toolchain (the python binary itself). Needing to chose a bunch of third party tools to make it work... makes Python, well... un-pythonic.
Sure. Garmin is still $5B in sales annually. Which is peanuts next to the iPhone, so you wonder why they even bother going after it. AirPods are a bigger business than that.
There are a few workarounds.

My strategy is to have my voicemail say that I don't get calls from unknown numbers and to text or call again if it is urgent.
The whole purpose of the article and the original post is to show people who probably disagree on many things being kind to each other. It's rather unusual to see a piece of journalism that doesn't have the goal of making people angry.
From an outsider's perspective it seems almost intuitive that market makers (the pros) make money off of retail (the amateurs). It's hard to imagine how that could not be the case.
I think it's separate from his point but some of those things could potentially be tail calls, meaning the functions actually leading to the free/delete might not be in the stacktrace even if they were called.
I was wrong, thanks for correcting me :)
Says who? Unlimited plans from all major carriers top off at $70-80/mo. If you have multiple lines the per line cost is cheaper still (like $50/mo). Plans with data caps, discount carriers and MVNOs all go as low as $30/mo.

If you are paying $100+ for a cell phone plan in the US today you are being taken for a ride.
Numbers I didn’t know and had to turn off “silence unknown callers”… recruiters/hiring managers, freight deliveries, doctors, pharmacy.

The feature mostly works, but needing to remember to disable it when a call is expected is annoying.
US companies are cutting, too, and we don't have the energy problems y'all have -- so I'm actually surprised Europe is not cutting more already.

Yes, panic.
I suspect their plan is to introduce satellite calling by the time 2 years is up, but we'll see if the phone has the hardware for that already, or just the bare minimum for emergency texting.
There's an electric car I have seen around my town a couple times that says "powered by coal" on the back.

Maybe Globalstar needs a big antenna, but Iridium doesn’t. I have a Garmin InReach with a 1 inch antenna and it works fine without any antenna pointing antics.
In the wilderness, they'd want to be using Satellite (data heavy) because most areas don't have useful Vector mapping unless they pull in a huge new trail database.
> eSIM seems to be good for the carrier (who doesn't have to ship anything or manage a database of SIMs for sale: provision on demand) but not for the customer.

Except that as a customer I can buy cell service from my phone without having to anywhere or have anything shipped to me. eSIM is great for me personally. I had bought cell service on my main iPad (Mini 6) and it was seamless, then a few months later I tried to do the same on an iPad 6 (test/demo device) and realized I would have to get a real sim card so I just gave up and moved on because it wasn't that important and would have just been a "nice to have". eSIM makes my life easier though I understand international travelers might have some rough spots until the carriers get onboard (which they will because... Apple).
Eth's work-arounds all involve centralization. If you want decentralized security, you need real physical opex.
I'd say any feature is cool if it:

- Is small/simple/principled (i.e. understandable)

- Enables many desirable programming styles or capabilities

- Complements other features: ideally working even better in combination; or at least, working in an obvious way

Algebraic effects tick all these boxes IMHO. In particular, there are many languages which feature try/catch AND for/yield AND async/await AND call/return; whereas having algebraic effects subsumes all that, turning it into library code.

Note that we can get pretty much the same thing with, say, delimited continuations; so they're also cool. However, having delimited continuations AND algebraic effects would seem redundant/bloated.
You misunderstand slightly. All the calls from the area code matching your phone number are more likely to be spam (spammers matching you to appear legit). So unless you call people in that particular area, you won't be matching their area code, so you won't look like a spammer. And unless you happen to know a lot of people in that area, you won't get calls from that area that appear to be spam.

16K for mutual non-disparagement isn't a serious offer. That's likely less than a month's salary for this guy. The message is they don't really care what he blabs about.
I never understood why US uses a wider pin on two prong plugs for the hot wire. Browsing the web site I got the idea that no one in the world cares about polarity, both pins are the same size. This is a huge usability issue for people with weak eyesight or when plugging in something in a tight area such as behind a couch or bed.
> The effect on input->output behavior from a single dataset example feels obvious, whereas the effect on input->output behavior from a single line of source code may depend on me understanding the other zillion lines...

Sure, but you have no idea how much weight any given sample contributes to the model. Maybe the behavior is included. Maybe not. The weight assigned could even vary drastically between runs with different random seeds!

I probably picked a bad paper with CycleGAN. My main point is that the mapping from data to behavior is non-trivial and there are lots of examples of this in the lit. Medical models that realize that the output variable is encoded in the text in the upper right of the image rather than attempting to analyze the image, etc.
> They take into account things like previously known threat actor capability, nation state actor characteristics, malware specialization

You mean they pin it on whomever they want to. It's all meaningless. It's like telling how someone voted from their shoe print.
My carrier has an option that forces unknown callers to enter a 2 digit number to proceed with call. I add known contacts to my list online and they don't get the prompt. Works well, however I now get a lot of spam texts which it doesn't work for.

I used Airalo recently in Argentina and can't say I'd recommend it, it somehow broke my iMessage until I reset a bunch of settings and seemingly got throttled at random despite having a ton of data left. Which is a shame because topping up data that way is much easier than switching out a physical sim. I also don't know if it was an esim problem or an Airalo problem, maybe support will be better when it is only esims.
