>It's possible you might not have worked in erp space, especially sustainment / maintenance (as opposed to implementation) long enough to see true customization price.

I haven't, but some of my colleagues have been in the space for 20+ years.

>Every. Single. Customization. You make, which makes so much sense to seemingly eagerly satisfy the user during implementation, will be a massive pain, forever, with every patch and upgrade and new functionality released by vendor in perpetuity, and will inevitably cause performance and failure issues eventually. And will only be getting more expensive and painful to maintain exponentially over many years.

Wrong. Upgrades almost never break your customizations, because in the ERP space backwards compatibility is verry much a thing with the exception of a few extreme cases now and then. I've migrated customizations from a 2004 version of NAV to a 2022 version of Business Central - even the name of the software changed, and the language in which it is written, but the customizations were almost plug and play after running the code migration tool provided by Microsoft.

>A) number of processes Bob from accounting or Fatima from HR believe are absolutely crucial and immutable and special and unicorn and mandatory, is way way higher than processes which actually are special and must be preserved.

I never said employees wishes should be blindly followed, you still have to do the consulting part of the job...

>B) The threshold of customization at which erp no longer makes sense is in fact very very low.
>If you actually, really properly are a special snowflake of a company and your convoluted hr or finance or pay processes are your key immutable competitive advantage, then don't get an erp. Other name for erp is cots, commercial off the shelf, which strongly hints as to how its meant to be used. With erp, customizations should be fought tooth and nail on every level,and that's a largely accepted industry wisdom.

Wrong. The benefit you get on the accounting side, and the all data being in one place side(reporting) outweighs almost any customization that needs to be done - because, good luck making those 2 things from scratch. And good luck living without those 2 things if you're a mid/big company.

With a court order, Apple will hand over the contents of an iCloud drive without any encryption to law enforcement. So they could do Google style preemptive scanning of everything uploaded.

Adding an encrypted hash to every photo instead seems way better than having access to every photo on iCloud without any encryption.
All this is possible with standard SIMs. The SIM is just a trust anchor, a token. What that token means for the telco in terms of services and pricing is entirely up to the telco. eSIM is just a way to connect to the HSM that is already soldered on the phone at manufacture. The only problem is that if you damage your phone you have to bootstrap a new “onboarding” and cannot just extract the SIM and put it in a new phone.
I could argue the same. The UX experience on android is horrible and about the only valid point that people have with android is that is more customisable.

In Japan, eSIMs are exclusive to Japanese citizen and permanent residents. Not sure about the reason behind this but I don't think they're going to change policies just because Apple is pushing.
> It wouldn't surprise me if the response to flack on this is to just get rid of all pages other than the first one - it avoids the issue entirely and wouldn't affect 99.9% of users.

You are confusing users with queries. A lot more than 0.1% of users use the other result pages - double digit percent certainly. But if Google is doing a good job they don’t do it very often.

Good example of clown being educational is ElectroBoom. He constantly keeps "accidentally" electrocuting himself and goofing around. The videos have very crisp editing and baity thumbnails. At the same time a lot of the content is deeply informative and educational.

Tell HN: Interesting plugin for people opening thousands of tabs
For a few months, maybe even a year now, I've been using a firefox plugin called "Tab Manager Plus for Firefox" [0] it's probably the only plugin where I can mass close all the tabs by name.

E.g. I want to close all googla.com tabs, so I type "google" and it closes for me. Of course, you can also right-click on which tab you want to close.

This plugin is very overlooked, but well worth it for people like me who open thousands of tabs.

I'm not an economist at all, but I have at least a passing familiarity with elasticity of demand (which is pretty damn low for water, given it's a basic biological need with zero satisfactory substitutes, and that the excess use of brings little immediate gratification).

The modern redefinition of racism is that it requires someone both be classically racist as well as having a higher privilege than the victim. So if you are racist to someone perceived as being higher privilege, it isn’t racist.

One thing that changed was just scale. Many visual representations of information are great, up until a certain complexity, and then people can't tell what they're looking at.

>And the fact that the market quietly moved on from headphone ports, SD cards etc. shows that it was the right call.

I doubt this. I think the market moved that way because it is more profitable to upsell users to wireless headphones or cloud storage or greater internal storage. Remember, apple releases airpods as they removed headphone jack? It does not necessarily represent an increase in utility on the customer side.

One implication not considered with eSIM is that not the SIM is indeed virtual. if something happens to the device... you need to do much more to get yourself up and running.

An example, my wife dropped her phone and her screen is now completely broken. phone unusable. When the phone has a physical SIM, I can simply take out the SIM and put it in a backup/older phone.

With eSIM only, I need to:

contact the carrier or have an additional phone with additional "backup" sim.

The traditional frameworks like JSP tag libraries, JSF, ASP, ASP.NET Web Forms, Cold Fusion, Zope, AOLServer, our own Safelayer, live from components.

PHP was always a anything goes, Rails never impressed me having used AOLServer and being part of a team that created a similar architecture with TCL (Safelayer mention above, the founder of that startup created Outsystems), express is basically a servlet engine in terms of features.
“As of October 2020, 1.47% of Android devices run KitKat. As of August 2022, it is the oldest Android version still supported by Google Play Services and is currently the minimum version to develop apps for the Google Play Store.”

I remember KitKat being great because it was the version that introduced Chrome based WebView, which made a huge difference for compatibility if you needed it. However the WebView component only got auto-updating in Android 5.0, so security double sucks.

And KitKat was the version that there was an explosion of devices for - impressive that 4.4.4 is still supported nearly a decade later (albeit without OS security patches!) It was released when iOS7 was released with the iPhone 5.
Yes, that's a good explanation

"Secret" means there is less supply of information. And when there is less supply but same demand, it means the price goes up. Isn't that a bit like Non-Fungible Tokens?
Seems weird, but if they had actually done that (much better) experiment (which has a moderate to high chance of detecting no meaningful difference) it's quite likely the result would not be "interesting" enough to be published in a major journal.
Maybe wealth gap isn't exactly what I should have highlighted. Instead we could say it shows the power corporations have to buy our basic rights away from us for a pittance.
This is a fascinating idea. Have StableDiffusion generate an image from the image you'd like to "compress" + a random seed. Feed that output to an adversarial network that compares source image to output and scores it. Try again with new seed.

After running for a while, the adversarial network outputs a seed, and you now have a few characters representing a reasonable approximation of your image.
No need to self host nextcloud. There are many providers that give you a hosted solution. Ionos for example does 2 TB for 12 euros a month.

It means i can't switch to a more private phone easily. For example I sometimes move my sim to a flip phone with only 4g now I won't be able to do that without contacting the carrier and jumping through hoops. They are enforcing sims as a permanent thing so it is more inconvenient for consumers and more costly for smaller device makers.
I don't buy the privacy advantage. Security wise also it seems it's the other way round as long as you can have your device up to date. That is, even though iOS gets regular updates there seem to be more zero day vulnerabilities in it.

Efficiency, esp when it comes to UI animation not stuttering is where iOS has done a tremendous job.
It's fine and easy to understand
The way they went with Java support and how the NDK still feels like a 20% project after all these years killed the motivation for doing side gigs in Android development.

Also Google IO is not fun any longer, knowing that I will only get to play with those features when my phone dies and is time for a replacement.

And even when buying one needs to take care, for example, plenty of Android 10 phones still on sale.
You can run docker inside a VM? And it will be able to use the GPU and tunnel port 80 through the docker container, through the VM and to the web?

What does “instantaneously affect the other” mean when there’s no absolute simultaneity? https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Relativity_of_simultaneity

“Instantaneously” kind of means that one event does not happen before or after the other, but something happening before or after should depend on the reference frame, right?
I don't get what's wrong with this at all. At some point you have to up the specs. And 2GB RAM + 16GB storage doesn't feel out of place at all. Rather low for any phone from the past 5 to 10 years.

Emissions scales very sublinearly with wealth. Someone who is 1000x richer than average isn't going to live in 1000 houses, eat 1000x more beef, or drive 1000 cars simultaneously. This means that they're in a much better position to simply eat the cost of a carbon tax while the poor and middle class will actually have to make the sacrifices to reduce emissions. Even if they're technically be ahead monetarily, they'd feel worse off because they have to organize carpools, turn down the thermostat in the winter, etc.
No offense to the two of you but I recently switched to iOS for my personal phone and still have an Android phone at work. The UX of both are now basically the same and they keep copying each other every time one of them does something good. I was actually shocked by how close they are.

I don’t really want to wade into the Rust vs other languages thing, but I would be curious for Elementary’s take on why Vala over Rust (gtk-rs seems to see widespread use and all).

Anyone know if they’ve noted it somewhere? Is it just the investment in Vala and their custom widget library that set the direction?

I was simply answering the question as to what might have been referred to as occurring during the Clinton administration. Not its overall significance in subsequent events.
I had a complete opposite experience a few weeks ago. It took me about an hour max to install Android Studio in Manjaro, install SDKs, spin up Android VM, pull open source Android keyboard app and add my own customised layout, then test it in VM and install to my phone. There were no errors at all. Just clicking buttons and waiting.

-edit: typo
A used Toyota or Honda was typically a smart purchase before the recent used car shortage, and still sometimes a good deal even during the last two years.

Used luxury cars in general aren’t a great deal, since you typically pay higher maintenance costs on a luxury car. They’re lower volume cars, so there are fewer parts made, leading to more expensive parts. Replacing the airbag suspension compressor in a Land Rover costs $5k+, each of the (four) suspension airbag costs a few thousand dollars to replace and they usually need replacing after 100k miles.

Financing rates are how people who are bad with money with bad credit get fleeced, 17% 7 year loans for instance. There are people that are bad with money but have good credit, you fleece them by flattering their ego with an $1895 ‘executive concierge service’.

GTK invented its own bespoke Object Oriented Programming system for C, called GObject: https://docs.gtk.org/gobject/

Naturally, it's very annoying to use this C-based OOP API in any other language, especially languages that have their own incompatible OOP type system like Java or C++.

One of the biggest reasons to use Vala is that it's OO system is GObject, making interacting with GTK and GLib code significantly more painless.

Fair question.

Canada did suffer during the 2007-8 crisis, though its banking system didn't collapse as the US system did.

The reasons suggested are various. I'm not an expert on either the US or Canadian experiences, though some quick searches suggest a few explanations, including an overall different regulatory and banking environment in Canada (far more centralised to the Federal government rather than distributed to numerous states). NBER and a few other sources look promising.

My NT machine ran 1280x1024 which is about 2/3 of what my phone does. More Hz is the job of the GPU and doesn't take more memory. And I'm pretty sure it took under a minute, and the boot speed would compete very well with my phone if the drive was migrated to a $25 SSD.

The security was different, but I don't think that's one of the major factors here.

From what I have seen this idea of is the problem with a lot of online courses.

The courses that sell seem to be made by great sales men and women. But then the actual course itself is bad.

A lot of courses/content is created by a single person. The chances of them being great sales people and educators at the same time is pretty rare I would imagine.

This goes back to what the original commenter is feeling, the algo is going to work to the benefit of the great sales people. Which in turn leaves the good educators and the learner at a disadvantage.

We need a better way to find great courses/learning content. Social media(including Youtube in this) is not a great way to discover good content.

That would help to some degree. I think an even better approach is to only assess the land, and reassess the land every single year. Then it doesn't matter at all what you build, and the speculator holding on to a vacant lot, withholding land from productive use, has to pay back to society for what they are taking away from everyone else.

Annually assessing property as the combo of structure + land is what most areas do, but assessing just the land is somewhat easier and is less biased. There are enough vacant land sales, in addition to some very simple regression models that come up with straightforward values per square foot of land. Much harder to game, and less sensitive to the extreme and systematic racial bias that pervades real estate valuation, even to this day.
