I’ve not used radio for ages, but was curious about DAB after someone posted the Arduino radio project.

It seems a few years back the UK was stuck with the old DAB, bemoaning (techmoaning?) how other countries had DAB+ which wasn’t shit.

Checking up on this and it appears we have DAB+ jazz hands, although I can’t fathom why I’d want this over podcasts.
It's not just that "smartphones are like tobacco". It's like we're in
a world where doctors tell you that smoking is good, businesses and
government require you to smoke, and we give free cigarettes out to
children to get them hooked.

Like all addictive habits and substances there's a cast-iron
correlation between availability and use, so, sure, creating barriers
like boxes and locks can help.

But I do think articles like this have a "feelgood" disingenuous
message - that you can "just say no" when you want to exercise
individual choice. You still, can, but at some cost.

It misses the complex psychological webs that addictive agents weave
within families and societies. Drugs (digital ones too) are a social
problem as much as an individual issue - as I explored in Digital
Vegan [1].

We've discussed here before something as simple as my reasonable
request for students to voluntarily surrender their phones during an
exam. Many comments were indignant and furious.

Many obsessive things can hijack the mind, even falling in love, or
the rush of exercise. Historically, few except alcohol, had widespread
daily availability. Tobacco was an issue as much about the advertising
industry as the harms of cigarettes. Smartphones fall into a hitherto
uncharted category - damaging agents that society is organising itself
around so as to almost mandate their harms (EDIT: Ok automobiles are a
precedent, and look where that's getting us).

The effects of reduced attention, poor concentration and productivity,
disorganised spending, surveillance fatigue, performance anxiety,
obsessive and compulsive behaviours, accidents due to reduced
situational awareness, e-waste, negative impact on relations with
children, family and friends... are all externalities to a
multi-billion dollar industry that is insinuating itself
structurally into our way of life.

My belief is that it's unnecessary, creates more harms than benefits,
and is dangerous from a social resilience perspective.

That's a different conversation from "put it in a pouch if you don't
want to be distracted", and let's not pretend otherwise.

This is the US government's preferred outcome.

The US media therefore gives the impression that it's a lot more likely than it actually is.

See also: sanctions induced economic collapse within 6 months.
It's also about politicians and people in power, staying in power by keeping conflicts alive. For example, Netanyahu regularly bombing some important Hamas person in Gaza and Hamas then firing rockets, was good for Netanyahu's and the Hamas leaders' popularity (as far as I've understood).

> only about land by default

Hmm, I think to a somewhat large part, the conflicts are ways for the people in power to stay in power.

What do you mean with "by default"?

Have a look at The Dictators Handbok btw and try to see the world from the perspective of someone like Netanyahu or the Hamas leaders. How can they increase/keep their power and wealth, using the conflicts as tools.

It's also tribalism ... Many things at the same time going on?

I seriously doubt US will directly engage Russia if Ukraine get nuked as it's simply doesn't make sense per the "America First" or now "America Only" playbook.

The only question really should be whether Putin dare to nuke Ukraine, if he indeed go there, end of story.
The west has some interest in a semi-stable russia, but not with putin in power.

Even if the war ends, russia would stay isolated on the world scene. But they must be punished for what they did, if only to get China to not make it any worse.

Where are the benchmarks?
There is a push to get everything to the phone, drivers license, creditcards, bus pass, keys and more. People seem overly happy that they don't need to bring their wallet with them, but given the choice I'd leave my phone at home.

The point about phones not being good or bad, is important I think. It's not the phone as such, but the apps you put on there. The only "social network" I use is LinkedIn, I don't have email setup on my phone, so only calls or text messages is available to interrupt me. My personal issues is with the browser, I hate using it, because the screen is to small, and the on-screen keyboard suck, still I use it to surf around mindlessly. I'd remove the browser completely, if it wasn't so damn handy in many cases.
The question here is: what nuclear threat?

Russia is not threatening Nato.

There are talks that Russia might use tactical nukes in Ukraine. I don't know how likely that is and that would indeed be a bad precedent, but are you going to declare war on Russia over that? That does not seem sensible.

I don't know what game the US are playing, and have been playing for years now (and I suspect it is partly anti-China) but it is dangerous, as dangerous as Russia's game.

2. We have built specific machine learning models translating between transcripts and CRM records while Gong has been focusing on highlighting coachable moments in transcripts
In 2015, I had my US Business Visa Interview in Chennai (India). Visa embassy had strict rules that disallows almost everything (prior experience in Bombay). So, on that fateful morning, I got just my paperwork, printed air ticket, drove to the Bangalore Airport, flew to Chennai, got the Visa Interview done, watch a movie in a theatre, and flew back home later in the evening, had dinner and slept. I survived the day across two cities and got an important thing done without a watch, no phone, no electronics. It works.

> Isn't "sinking the Russian Black Sea fleet" directly striking Russia?

Under certain viewpoints it is the difference between attacking the US command in Iraq and striking troups in New York.

The black fleet is stationed on annexed land as of the view of most UN member states. An attack on troups stationed on foreign soil is not the same as an attack on troups stationed e.g. in the capital of an country. The black fleet are military targets on the soil/waters of an invaded country in an attack war. This is the status most foreign ministries would tell you the black fleet has currently.

The question now is: What are the consequences of doing nothing, should Russia deploy tactical nukes?

Most analysts would say there are bigger consequences to doing nothing than to doing something of limited scale unless your goal is normalizing nuke deployment (very bad idea).

So where would you retaliate instead?

This. It seems to me powers behind the throne would rather risk their lives and overthrow Putin, than risk their lives and more in a nuclear MAD scenario.

But there are many many alternatives before either of those two, so I imagine the vast majority are hoping against hope something else plays out, and they don’t have to decide between a risky coup attempt and certain nuclear annihilation.
Yes, I have a feeling this is how it works “big picture”, but I don’t have any trustworthy sources for that claim. Do you know of any? I’m thinking academic economists who have written on the subject or something like that.
The code in the first example says `ts == x_ts`, not `ts == x`.

I think the fundamental reason this is true is because devs over engineer on purpose to make a meal out of simple things.

Back when image boards had their run, using this technique to get posts with „rare“ combinations of digits [1] (e.g. „dubs“) boasting about it in that very post was a popular pastime.

If the USSR had not backed off the US would not have attacked Russia.

Of course the message now and then is that they are prepared to make Russia's life much worse but threats of war are bluff.
Erdoğan: "even the worst peace will be better than war." True that.

On this other issue (not broached in article) I don't buy that as the only reason to delay resolution, as people sometime say. "Arms dealers" can make money during conflict, "construction firms" can make money during reconstruction. I don't buy that MIC / corporate money is the major motivating force for major conflicts these days...but it might be. I just think it's something else.

Don't stress too much on organizing too many things: get one obligatory dinner for the whole team in, and you are golden.

That's not the code from the article. The code in the article is comparing 2 floats. Though, equality operator would return `False` for comparison `x == x_ts` as well, instead of throwing an exception.
I very much doubt that. Maybe an awkward conversation with the Feds would've ensued while they ascertained if you had access to plutonium, much like the awkward conversation I had with Police when my estranged step-brother was threatening to shoot politicians, and they were trying to ascertain if I'd give him access to my firearms. (Fuck no, obviously.)

Given the hyperbole that US politics has descended into, if your theory was true, half of US political Twitter would be in gaol already.
That it's locked at where it was over twenty years ago (modulo Ian Hickson's additions ie article, header, section, etc) with everything around it (CSS, JS) having been bloated ad absurdum to make up for HTML's lack of evolution. Yes I know we want to call it separation of presentation from ... whatever, but looks more like an organizational stalemate and self-inflicted problem to me. Today, WHATWG HTML the markup language specifies a vocabulary for casual academic publishing and in prose rather than formal fashion; when in reality it's used for messages and discussion threads, ads of all kinds, CVs, press articles, forms workflows, and countless other kinds of text. To capture such uses was the goal of W3C's XML initiative in 1997 for bringing new vocabularies to the web; but they obsessed over "meta" and enterprise techniques and only brought SVG and MathML. Subsetting XML from SGML was an entirely pointless 20+ years detour, and today SGML still remains the only game in town for formally capturing and evolving HTML. Hickson's/WHATWG's HTML spec OTOH is already fossilized and error-prone to update with new elements.
Django solves this by having the default timezone in the framework settings. Any datetime without a timezone is assumed to be using the default one. If you don't set a default timezone, the server timezone is used, and you are responsible for making sure your data is congruent.

> A femtometer is a few orders of magnitude smaller than an atom.

Thank you for telling me what a femtometer is, as though my using the word wasn't a pretty good indicator I knew what it was. You mean a femtometer is a real thing? And I just made that up out of thin air to mean a meter stick to give to women. What are the odds?

> There are about 2*140 atoms in the atmosphere. You can't even count to that number, let alone do any fluid dynamics to that.

Would you like me to explain how your argument is a straw man, or can I trust you to figure it out?

> I'm confident that we won't have femtometer scale simulations of the atmosphere before the sun becomes a red giant and swallows the earth.

Very colorful, but all you're really saying is that you are pessimistic about technology and about any staggeringly large advancements in computer design or weather sensor tech, while I, otoh, optimistically say I just don't know, but I bet computers will get faster, smaller and cheaper, and that within only a hundred years there will be weather tech that we are incapable of conceiving of today.

Sure, a femtometer is mind-bogglingly small, but it's only 15 orders of magnitude smaller than a meter. It's way bigger than a zeptometer. How is it even possible femtometers can be described so simply? But of course, there could never be any more advancements in mathematics, physics, computer engineering or our current understanding of weather and climate. We basically know all there is to know right now. Huh.

I earn my money online so having no phone is sorrily not an option anymore. However I have no phone number only internet, and that's off when I am not at home. That locks me out of so many time wasting apps and just allows a handful of useful services and a way to communicate wherever when necessary.

No WhatsApp, no Instagram, no whatever abuses sending notifications to my phone. My main emails aren't attached either. 99% of all notifications are actually relevant to me right now (family, gf or downtime notifications). If anyone asks for a contact I just give them a email that is not attached to my phone.

> They know airtags can be used for crime and don't care.

So can iPhones. Or Androids. Or ski masks, lock picks, tape. Should we stop selling useful items when they can be abused? Apple did way more to stop the abuse of AirTags than the competition and I don't see anyone complaining about Tile. Almost any tool can be abused or used to hurt someone. Stop trying to shift the blame from the perpetrator to the tool being used.

Also: funny how the US doesn't ban guns even though they were literally invented to kill people but now fight about AirTags.
Indeed. In this case, US would want the war to drag for decades without further escalating. Europe, however, would want the war to end as they are in deep sh*t themselves and there is no reason to continue fighting a war to benefit US.
IMHO, first and easiest step is to just set your phone to full silent mode (no vibration) and create exceptions only if necessary (e.g. work calls, emergency family calls, ...).

For me that made a big difference. I check my mails/chats etc. when I feel like it and I don't get any notifications that disturb me.
Nice tips.

Personally I have hlsearch turned on and nohlsearch mapped to H because persistent highlighting is sometimes useful, sometimes a bit annoying.
If you are considering switching to a (different) date library, I would suggest to hold off. ECMAScript is about to introduce a native date and time API that is much better than the current Date functionality. It may also make the need for a third-party date library obsolete (as long as you do not need to parse custom date formats).

As far as I know, issue #1450 is the last remaining blocker for the standardization. I'd assume that this will be resolved in the next months. So Temporal will likely be officially released with ECMAScript 2023, but browser vendors and other implementors will start shipping it before the offical release.
> A smartwatch (Apple Watch) helped me further my lifestyle. I have not taken my phone on my morning and evening walks.

I don't understand, are you saying that having a smart watch allows you to leave your phone at home? How so?

Whenever I see a friend with a smart watch I'm under the impression that they look at their notifications more rather than less than when they didn't have one.
> and old deleted data might come up again and be repropagated

That pretty much describes iCloud.

Argh! Zombies!

iCloud has terrible syncing. Here’s an example. Synced bookmarks in Safari:

I use three devices, regularly; my laptop (really a desktop, most of the time), my iPad (I’m on it, now), and my iPhone.

On any one of these devices, I may choose to “favorite” a page, and add it to a fairly extensive hierarchy of bookmarks, that I prefer to keep in a Bookmarks Bar.

Each folder can have a lot of bookmarks. Most are ones that I hardly ever need to use, and I generally access them via a search.

I like to keep the “active” ones at the top of the folder. This is especially important for my iPhone, which has an extremely limited screen (it’s an iPhone 13 Mini -Alas, poor Mini. I knew him well).

The damn bookmarks keep changing order. If I drag one to the top of the menu, I do that, because it’s the most important one, and I don’t want to scroll the screen.

The issue is that the order of bookmarks changes, between devices. In fact, I just noticed that a bookmark that I dragged to the top of one of my folders, yesterday, is now back down, several notches.

Don’t get me started on deleting contacts, or syncing Messages.

I assume that this is a symptom of DB dysfunction.
