Still have a machine running 7. It is fast, terribly insecure due to not being updated for all the Spectre type attacks, and rock solid.

I do some development on it, and it holds a license for super expensive software that would cost me a ton to move.

Of course it is not online!

When I log on, I sigh. 7 was a good OS. 10 is now a pretty good OS.

I said all these things about an XP machine I still have. Same story.

Logging onto the XP machine makes me happy I moved to 7.

Logging onto the 7 machine makes me wonder some, mostly about how nerfed CPUs are often these days...

There is a pattern:

Near the end of a good OS, it ends up being a great OS! Setting security aside, the right XP stack is nice. The right 7 stack is really nice and fast.

Right now, I am damn happy with Win 10...

I probably will not use 11, until I absolutely have to.

Such is the way of Microsoft OSes.

My experiences have been more mixed on Mac OS. Mostly, I end up camping on one, say 10.4, I think. Has been a while, but that Mac, an Intel i7, 2012 model, is a great computer! Love it.

My next Mac ended up being an M1 machine, and I liked Big Sur a lot. Just updated to latest. Once I settle in, that is probably what I will run for a very long time, unless something is really compelling, or somehow I am forced due to a requirement of some kind and meeting it makes me enough money worth doing that.

Essentially, I get one all sorted out, end up skilled and fast. At that point, cost of change is generally way more than the reward.

Risks get managed down. Keep machines off line, limit their scope of use to those things that make good money, and so on...

Same goes for hardware. I prefer to buy higher end, plan on running it for a really long time.

Hate new hardware / OS setup and "teething", robot the experience into somewhat appropriate terms. (Appropriate for me anyway, YMMV)

11 looks like the others. Will be a mess for a while yet. Not interested, until I have to be, or it pays to be.
Ha, I switched to keepassxc this week because of the VC funds sketched me out. Makes me sad because I don't know what password manager to recommend for average users now.
You mean when I'm hungry (gut) I buy fatty foods rather than vegetables (brain). Sheesh what a revelation.
Also for reference: They used to make Android phones with 512MB of storage and the capabilities at that point were pretty damn similar to today's phones, just with a bad screen.
Surely there is an esim to nano sim adapter? And an adapter for connecting this adapter to computer for programming it?
> Since then, all iPhone models launched since then have eSIM support.

Slight nitpick: Except those in Greater China which ship with dual nano-SIM slots and have no support for eSIM (even on iPhone 14).

iPhone 14 shipped in the rest of the world have 1 physical SIM slot and support for either physical + eSIM or two eSIMs.

I don't know engineering wise why China model phones can't ship with both dual physical slots and support any combo of two physical/eSIM. There doesn't appear to be any obvious technical limitation.
I believe they only kill SIM in US for now. Could be they keep it for a year or two more in other places until they adapt to eSIM.
Yeah, I too want to know this. If we know that the collapse has happened, then it can be used to infer that someone has tried to measure the other entangled particle. Can this be be leveraged or my understanding is wrong?
I think the 36M settlement from the school is more than enough.

It's the school's problem to go after the students to recover some of the money, if they are so inclined.
Yep, it's entirely based around the equivocation fallacy. "Bats are small flying mammals. Baseball is played with bats. Therefore, baseball is played with small flying mammals."
Reminds me of buying indulgences from the church to absolve yourself from your sins.

It also holds balances of accounts.
physical SIMs are an HSM which contains private key data which it will answer challenges for but not divulge.
A normal user had better not see flash degradation. With the massive price per TB manufacturers charge for extra capacity, I expect ultra platinum quality.
If you have 30 employees you presumably have venture funding, and if you're calling yourself a cofounder then you presumably have a decent chunk of equity.

How much equity do you and the VCs have in total? From a purely practical perspective, if you have over 50% then you have leverage over the CEO. You can't credibly threaten to fire him over this one incident, but you can rein in potentially worse behavior.

It would also be wise to figure out why he did this. Does he have a family that he was trying to appease by hosting an event on sandy beaches (so they could tag along gratis)? Is he hitting a wall and worried other people are also, and wanted to let people relax a bit?

Regardless, someone should have been in the loop on this before it went out on Slack. Even a sole founder should be getting a gut check from others before planning a trip that could cost 10% of revenue. If I'm reading this right, did this trip move you from being profitable to being in the red?

But the bottom line is to see who has the majority of the shares. If it's you and others, great. If it's him, then you just have minority shareholder rights, which wouldn't kick in at this point. If he's enriching himself at the expense of the company, then you can take action. Good luck!
It is the most simple and direct way, but look at what happened when energy prices went up this summer? A bunch of governments jumped in with special payments to offset the higher prices.

I don't think there is the political will to jack up carbon costs and force consumers to decide between paying or just using less.
I doubt it. Having been on the opposite end of things, screening questions aren't typically formalized. A lot of pre-interview and interview questions are prepared based off of the position that the applicant is applying for, their resume, and their cover letter. If you're having trouble just getting your foot in the door, it might be worth focusing on your cover letter to tailor it to the employer. If you can concisely explain how your skillset can work well for the position you're after, it can go a long way (assuming you're not doing that already)
>Why is it worse to do on device (where it’s private) instead of on Google’s server (where you have to give them a plaintext copy of the photo)?

Suppose you go to a public restroom and someone has installed a camera in there to perv on the people using it. That would be an invasion of your privacy, right? Now suppose someone installed a camera in your bathroom at your house. Would you say that's an equivalent invasion of your privacy?
IT has nothing to do with carriers supporting eSIM or not. With eSIM comes activation processes where carriers can make pricing decisions. Have an iPhone or coming from the US? There's a different higher price for you. Today you can buy a sim at any carrier store or cell shop around the world and insert it into your phone. Zero hassle. Fair pricing. eSIM opens the floodgates for carriers to lock you in or implement stupid rules. I bet Verizon and ATT are salivating the ability to lock down the eSIM. Also eSIM being less hackable than the SIM? Time will tell. Im sure the NSO Group is already working on that.

Weird math tangent: the higher dimension a cube is the greater the fraction of the volume is a corner, until at some point the overwhelming majority is in the corners.

The more talents you consider the greater the fraction of the population is world class for some unique intersection of them, e.g., ruby programming, while captaining, a tall ship

Very minor anecdata I would like to share: I have discovered Veritasium like most others, at the time when they weren't "clickbaiting", when their videos actually had the thing that they discussed right there in the title. I learned tons of things. Each new video, and each title, made me eager to discover that thing.

But around the time they implemented their "clickbait" titles and thumbnails, it had the opposite effect on me. They all just *seemed* like so many other videos: bland and tasteless. The content itself hasn't much changed, but the allure certain has diminished for me. I've stopped watching their videos.

Compare that to Curious Droid, or Practical Engineering, which still use descriptive titles, sometimes questions, but always exactly about the subject.
I've been an Android guy for a long time and I briefly switched to an iPhone from 2020-2022 but went back to Android. The reason? Being forced to use Safari or a re-badged Safari because Apple refuses to let other browser engines on the platform.

On Android I can run proper Firefox and get uBlock Origin.
> Have we reached that level of the civilisation that goes extinct, for forgetting how its own inner machines work?

Probably. Almost nobody under the age of 40 works in the "deep weeds" anymore (firmware, kernel, casually "Ring 0 and below" spaces). A decade ago, it was about 30. I'm the last wave, it seems, of people in these spaces, and that's quite terrifying.

But I get it. The hardware is maddeningly complex, rapidly getting more complex to solve the problems created by the last complexity, and the whole stack is cracking and crumbling around the edges (the uarch vulns and Intel pulling SGX from consumer chips are a reflection of this). Another decade, this entire low level group will have retired to something far away from computers, and... we'll see what happens. Nothing good, I fear.
You don’t know the collapse happened. Locally you can just perform a measurement and you will concretely see one of the possible outcomes.
I used it to replace one of mine. I told them it was staticy when I put it in my ear. They said so sorry and they would process a replacement. The process took minutes over Apple Support chat and I had a new one in 3 days with a postage free box to return mine.

If you have problems get it replaced. What's the drama?

Australia has extremely strong consumer protections on things like this. It's really nice.
It just isn't outrageous to jump into a high paying tech job. I know several people who did not finish high school but managed to get a $100k+ job in the tech industry, without taking any boot camp at all. Just teaching themselves to program. Clearly it is possible. It just doesn't work out for everybody. There's no boot camp that can get this sort of job for everyone.
The word “prickly” is neither back alley nor gutter English. The relevant dictionary definition is “ready to take offense” or “easily irritated”. Here’s the etymology: https://www.etymonline.com/word/prickly
I was rummaging through my things and found two Samsung S3's. One wouldn't charge and one had a missing screen. The one that didn't charge was mine and it has Cyanogen Mod, likely a nightly build. I may have modified the partitions as well but alas couldn't use it. So I swapped out the boards and boom, a working phone from 2013-2014. Batteries still held a decent charge. Point is, I remembered that custom mod and it was great. I believe for everyday use, the battery didn't last but all in all, it was an amazing phone and OS build. I really miss those days.

You’re being a bit prickly about this.
These are the kind of regulations that the government can introduce that actually help, not hurt markets.

When you take on a mortgage today, every mortgage has a standard coversheet that is identical between all lenders and lays out all the costs, interest rates and monthly payment in the exact same way.

That's a positive - increased transparency for consumers with minimal burden on businesses.

FWIW my echo failed smoke test when I tried with ngrok using the IP I got from dig. Strange thing is that the server still received the test payloads over ngrok, and my echo passes when hosted on EC2. Not sure if it's something with ngrok or if there's some other incompatibility (I'm a windows user :/)

I know that the US has a reputation for producing idiots but believe me, they exist in other places too, hence why I didn't specify the States, but you feel free to make it all about you.
When are we talking about?
Sounds about right, I went through the whole process, went through a big functional programming romance in the mid of my career, and after 15 years am now like “I’ll use whatever”.

I do care about using the right abstractions and high-level interactions, not as much about the language or frameworks. I’ll let others put in their political weight on that, so that I can do it in the areas I believe will really make an impact to the business goals.
The "grace" framing makes it sound like it's about being fair to white people. I have some sympathy for people who are falsely accused, but honestly shit happens.

My point is different: that exaggerating racism harms non-white people. I know other Asians who say stuff like "oh, I wouldn't want to go to the south because people are racist." And they're missing out on good food, warm weather, and friendly people. Trump won my precinct (which weirdly encompasses just my subdivision) 58-34 in 2016 when I moved there. It's a lovely place to live with lots of kids and friendly neighbors. A minority who is told by authority figures that the local bakery in Oberlin Ohio is a hotbed of racism might be too scared to come where I live. And that's not good for anybody.
But the cheapest iOS device is $429. You can find cheap unsubsidized Android phones for less than $100.
There is no such effect proven, nor could we measure it if it was. Entanglement can be summarized as using physics itself to have fundamental particles contain information. They don't communicate. All it does is tell you what the state of a and b are. We could assume that they were always that way from when they were conceived, but we can't know that, because it would require measuring it, which breaks entanglement.

We can transmit that same information synthetically without entanglement, but it's not the same methods.

I imagine entanglement being the hardware implimented version, and current methods the generic C implimentation.
https://www.askamathematician.com/2018/03/q-with-entangled-p...

> Tricks that use entanglement to instantly send information generally involve collapsing the state of the distant particle (by measuring your own), and assuming that the person in charge of that particle will somehow notice. Unfortunately (and this is the answer), there’s no “new-particle-smell” for particles that are still in superpositions and there’s no big flash when that superposition collapses. If you measure an electron’s spin the result is simply “spin up” or “spin down”. That’s all you get. But that doesn’t tell you what the state was before, or if the original state was a superposition of several states, or even if the particle was entangled with something else.

> If you only have access to one particle, then the two situations, 1) the other particle is inaccessible or 2) it has been quietly measured, are indistinguishable in every physical sense. Regardless of whatever else is involved, you can never notice the weirdness of entangled pairs until you directly compare them with each other.
Never understood rationing. If electricity is cut off for 2 hours won't residents use double the electricity in the following 2 hours after supply is restored? For example I won't run the wash during the cut off time but I will most definitely do after it's reconnected.
I gotta say, the catholic church indulgence system would have been a lot more interesting if it were structured as offsets instead of just payments. It's a great way to explain how ludicrous the current system is though. You can pay me to promise not to cheat on my spouse for the next 3 years in exchange for you being able to cheat on yours.

Catholic indulgences as they were actually structured would be more akin to just a carbon tax.
> Renamed "string" to "bytes" and "unicode" to "string".

Either this is hyperbole, or you're quite mistaken on the particulars there.
I don't know how it applies specifically here, but generally until it's collapsed it will act as a wave, so you could see things occur that aren't possible for an already collapsed states.
Your iPhone can run apps far more sophisticated than anything 3dsmax could do 27 years ago.
I run AOSP and can confirm the claims of the parent comment. It's not just OEM customizations, Android itself got way more memory hungry in the past years.

Regularly I can't even have two apps running at once without one of them being force unloaded and that's with all the "battery optimizations" disabled, because without it's even worse.
Because cellular will never be ubiquitous and in areas with max cell coverage that are still plenty of nature areas without a signal. I live in a big college town but often go for walk in a canyon area 10 minutes from my home with zero coverage of any provider.

I will feel a little safer having Sat capabilities.

Can someone just buy satellite coverage? Doesn't the equipment need to be specially engineered for the specific sat frequencies and protocols?

Apple launched exclusively on AT&T because they were willing to not force Apple to provide user and device data to them for marketing purposes. Other provides jumped on the bandwagon when they saw how much money they were missing which soothed their poor marketing folks who didn't get the data they wanted.

Can I speculate that Musk perhaps offered the same choice - use us but we want customer data? Perhaps he wasn't willing to dedicate the large amount of capacity which Apple seems to be capturing. Perhaps Apple didn't want Samsung to share capacity with Apple when Samsung inevitably copies this feature in the next version of their phones?

In any even it's not just satellite capacity. If you recall from the presentation Apple has also put in a large human component as the interface between the automated messages and the dispatching of emergency services. So it's a big deal all around.
If it were a once-off incident like that, perhaps, but if everyone knew they'd only get, say, 8 hours electricity a day over several weeks, I don't doubt they'd use less than having it available 24 hours a day.
> Today you can buy a sim at any carrier store or cell shop around the world and insert it into your phone. Zero hassle.

The exact same is possible is with an e-sim. Have you ever used an e-sim? It's literally a QR code the carrier hands you that you need to scan. You can scan it with any e-sim compatible phone. This is the equivalent of "inserting the sim into any phone" except without the actual insertion.

> I bet Verizon and ATT are salivating the ability to lock down the eSIM.

Assuming you are a new iPhone user? ATT locked the sim down for iphones in the first few years. Not sure how it is now, but earlier I couldnt use my phone with any other carrier unless I begged ATT to unlock it. I once had to show them my travel documents to say that I just needed it for a short while so I can use a foreign sim on what they considered their phone. So this is nothing new, and e-sim doesnt improve or worsen the situation.
> Now they can pay one of them half the value!

They’re paying the other half of the value to the cloud provider, more or less. Ideally, perhaps a bit less. But that’s how business works. The cloud provider is operating these systems much better than 99+% of companies could hope to do.
Ask HN: What do I do with all this XML?
I crawled/scraped my favorite forum and rounded up 850 XML files of 5-6k lines each.

I was using XSL transformations in Firefox but it seems to have been disallowed due to a cross origin scripting attack using local files, so now only external resources can be used if http.

Basically I need an alternative means of visualization to convert my xml into something readable.

While I agree with your hesitation in marketing deceptive content, I think you may be overloading marketing on YouTube with the term click-bait.

From Wikipedia:

> Clickbait is ... designed to attract attention and to entice users to follow that link ..., being typically deceptive, sensationalized, or otherwise misleading.

Think about it the other way, for all the time you spend producing content in an effort to help others, wouldn't it be more rewarding to you to help as many people as possible? As a user of YouTube, when I search for help with something, I typically start with result that visually looks like it's going to provide me the best answer, as that's the only thing to go on. If the title and thumbnail looked low-effort, I assume the content would look low-effort as well. Maybe that's an intentional aesthetic choice, it can definitely work for some content.

HOWEVER, if the video were to actually deceive me, I would just stop going to that creator entirely. This should be true for most viewers and YouTube is encouraged not to provide misleading results. Otherwise, trust in the results would diminish searching directly through YouTube.
The Bluetooth audio issue is annoying.
There seems to be some disagreement between the headset chipset and the phone about what the default volume level should be.

You can turn off a setting called something like 'unified volume control', to go back to the old way of having separate (and redundant) volume control on both headset and source device.
That's the Verge modus operandi. We shouldn't even let links to them here.
I wish I could have two eSIMs on my watch as I now can on my phone. As it is I have to disable phone service on my watch when traveling.

That being said I still need a SIM card slot because I visit countries with no eSIM carriers.
