Yes, exactly. The ability to send SMS from the Signal app has meant I've been pretty successful in getting Android users to switch to Signal. Every iOS user I know always just goes back to using iMessage. Now many of those Android users won't bother either.
I've converted a lot of people to Signal and I'm 100% sure that they will abandon it, they only want 1 messenger app.
Are you actually claiming that to be a real event?

The only thing of note about it seems to be you personally making a statement at work that honestly doesn’t sound a million miles away from what Steve Jobs or Jony Ive might have said.

They were famously never satisfied, even though they thought their products were the best.

Still an impressive feat.
Why doesn't anybody fork the Signal clients? There are so many bad design decision in the clients (for instance no message backup on iOS or no way to save all media to storage automatically) that I don't understand why people accept the Signal Foundation's stewardship of the client code.
One Signal feature that I always wanted, and will apparently never get, was the ability to send the same message via SMS & data, and have the duplicate cancel out on the other end. Service is spotty in my region, and I routinely have either cellular or data connectivity.
You're overconfident. The consensus view in Egyptology is you're wrong about this. Maybe the consensus view is wrong and your fringe theory is more accurate, but it's really hard to have confidence that your theory is the correct one when it is almost universally rejected by people who study this.

As someone who can read the inscriptions you're talking about: they're not crude at all.
I don't care why but this is creepy. Use a token in a public repo, not some sort of callback scheme. My IDE should not be doing authorization checks that involve telling a third party what I'm working on, under any circumstances.

You just got added to the list for saying that out loud.
I'm very upset by this decision. I've been using Signal as my SMS app for a very long time.

Messages that I would have sent via SMS currently will automatically get sent via Signal if the person I'm sending to has started using Signal without my knowledge. This has happened in several instances where I was pleasantly surprised to see a friend had started using Signal. Now that I'm forced into a separate SMS app, this will no longer be a possibility. I certainly won't be firing up Signal to see if a contact has joined before sending them an SMS.
it's also why "storage" is a very loose term for gravity based energy storage. at a massive scale it is still only best at storing/discharging the difference between demand and supply - while still trying to keep actual energy production as close to demand as possible at all times. It really should never be used to power a city the way we would use a battery to power our phone. As in, spend significantly less time charging it than discharging it
So far I have been rooting for Facebook. With MSFT in the mix, I am out. Good luck Zuck
Super interesting to see how they brought in DALL-E. Might be the first commercial usage of it?
Oof. As an Android user, this sucks. Though I have my frustrations with Signal (cellphone number, address book hashing, centralization, the cryptocurrency stuff, removing storage encryption) -- it's still the only app I trust. Even more than the stock Samsung messaging app. I don't want to trust another, and I don't want to have to bifurcate my messaging flow.

All of my family use iOS though, so this is already their use case. I understand less code is more secure, and a unified codebase between devices is good -- heck. This might even lead to no more phone number requirement.

But this still stinks for my use case.

FWIW though, I was more upset about the cryptocurrency thing.
This take is surprising to me, because it actually seems to me that it would be easy-ish to auto-generate accessibility aids, for example in the form of automatic caption generation for hearing impairments.
VR meetings want to take the asynchronicity of remote work and replace it with the synchronicity of office work, but virtually. You lose most of the advantages of remote work (the only one retained is lack of commute).

This plan to spread organisms is criminal. It's insane, dangerous, should be blocked. We haven't even decided if we should do this in our own solar system, it's extremely controversial just going to Mars or other planets with only our earthly life known - we could impact life, including microbes on Mars, Europa or wherever it may be.

Spreading living organisms far beyond our solar system is clearly a bad idea at this stage of development and knowledge. We could easily destroy other ecosystems. Imagine how we'd feel if the opposite happened. Of course anyone who pays attention knows that we have discovered all the precursors of life, the 4 genetic bases (one of them is different between rna and dna so there are kind of 5 but they found that 5th one too) - we've already detected them in space, which is amazing in itself. It's extremely likely there will be other places in the universe, almost certain based on the number of galaxies and stars, that other planets have life on them. We can't just dump a bunch of developed microbes there that might have unknown effects.

I have a quest2, and I think its a fantastic piece of hardware. I am having tons of fun with it and use it every day.

For gaming.

Because in gaming, immersion into the world is something I cherish and want, and am willing to spend money on.

I am not looking for immersion into a spreadsheet, or my source code.

There, I look for information density, ease of navigation, searchability, tooling, interoperability, the ability to share and collaborate quickly and efficiently, and to make my intentions available for processing by machines.

My question is: Which of these priorities does VR enhance, in what way, over the existing technology?
I don't believe this is the case, but I am also not a lawyer.

The _actual_ wording of 18 USC § 1001 is "[...] knowingly and willfully" "(1) falsifies, conceals, or covers up by any trick, scheme, or device a material fact; (2) makes any materially false, fictitious, or fraudulent statement or representation; [...]" [0], not simply "providing false statements."

The DOJ must show that the statement was false, the fact is material to the case, that you knew it was false when you made it, and that it does not fall under the exceptions carved out by DOJ policy [1]. That is very different from what you're claiming.

In your example, the rain on Thursday must actually be important to the case and you must knowingly be attempting to deceive the federal investigators. Your honest-but-wrong answer does not mean you are now able to be charged with providing false statements to a federal criminal investigator under 18 USC § 1001.

I can't find a source to my claim. Just now downloaded webstorm 2022.2.3 stable and webstorm 2022.3 EAP to compare, but they seem to behave similar in cpu. Every now and then in the EAP in the activity monitor a "diagnostics dumper" pops up, but only for a brief moment. Maybe they improved it a lot. I remember complaining about EAP performance a long time ago and remembered an answer to expect a few more cpu usage from an EAP (the diff was not as stark as 100% though, it was more like 20% EAP vs 5% stable).

I mean please don't judge the CPU profile of an EAP to the final product.
Susan Fowler's blog post definitely wasn't just everyday things that every developer experiences from my perspective, and this is the first time I've ever heard anyone express that view.

IIRC, Fowler's boss began talking to her about his sex life and subtly propositioning her for sex in her first week. Nothing like that has ever happened to me.

If you're working someplace where that's an everyday occurrence, I think you work in a very unusual environment.
I am unhappy with this change, but I can cope with it. I'm more concerned with my tech-challenged family members who don't understand the distinction between different messaging services or have any understanding of security. Until now, Signal has been good for them because they only need to deal with one application and they get some added security among our group. After this change, I fear they'll just use the SMS app exclusively (out of inertia) and Signal will collect dust.
We could dramatically reduce water requirements of crops like tomatoes with hydroponics, but the reality is that farmland and water are too cheap to make more resource efficient methods economical.
You're implying there is something unfair going on with respect to not compensating editors. I absolutely disagree. The model is that anyone can edit, and they do so out of the love of knowledge and common wealth.

One of the strongest aspects of Wikipedia is that authors are not on anyone's payroll. (Though editing can be a competitive endeavor with monied interests occasionally involved).

All the editors of Wikipedia couldn't possibly be compensated, and no one expects that anyway.
This sounds like how every IP camera I've ever used is supposed to work. How did we let the cloud get involved?
There are forked clients, but usually you can't use Signal's server infrastructure, so you need to roll your own, and now it brings another set of problems.
A "do not use this software for evil" license is morally identical to one that states "only use this software for evil".

The best licenses are those that just say "there you go, do whatever you want, but don't fucking sue me." (That means pretty much all mainstream open source licenses)
The reservoirs we already have are rated in the thousands of MW. There is no storage problem, we already have large enough reservoirs where we can practically store years of energy indefinitely; especially now in drought conditions where reservoirs are regularly well below historical levels. So if there's ever a need to store solar energy from summer for use in winter, pumped hydro is the only energy storage solution that works.

They also don't have issue with storing energy quickly, they can all store energy at a significantly faster rate than they can discharge. We can run pumps as quickly as possible and install as many as you'd like, but the discharge has to be controlled (thus limited) because releasing massive amounts of water at once. So their main use case today is storing massive amounts of energy generated in a short amount of time and releasing slowly across a long period of time.

What the grid actually needs is faster discharge than charging, because that more accurately matches summer energy use patterns. This is what chemical batteries excel at which pumped hydro cannot easily do.

So it's unlikely we'll be able to make them 100-1000x bigger, but they're already 100-1000x bigger than other battery solutions. We should be able to make 100x more of them because the reservoirs already exist and very few of them currently are used as both power sources and energy storage, we simply need to add pumping capability to them in most cases.
At least with Vaultwarden, it's open source and running locally with data stored on a server in my house, so if they misbehave, I could easily fork or switch projects. If Android doesn't allow or otherwise hobbles 3rd party password managers, there isn't much recourse.
Stopping low-level corruption while allowing high-level corruption to pass through (i.e. with high-dollar lobbying) is IMO less democratic than at least letting those with less money buy off at least their small part of government to let them do what the high-dollar people tried to outlaw.
I just checked and there's a significant difference between full brightness and a little less than full brightness so I'll just assume the screens Apple is using are pretty good at that

> If you do use Signal as your default SMS app on Android, you will need to select a new default SMS app on your phone. If you want to keep them, you’ll also need to export your SMS messages from Signal into that new app.

This messaging seems a little tone-deaf, given that there is no way to export SMS messages from Signal. Apparently it's possible, using a third-party piece of software, to decrypt your backups and extract the messages, but that's not exactly a reasonable thing to expect people to do.

One of the reasons I liked Signal was because it was easy to get normal people to start using it, because they could just set it up as their SMS app, and continue life as normal, just getting the benefits of encryption for any of their contacts that were also using Signal. Now there's not notably any reason to use Signal as opposed to, say, Matrix.
This is really no different between switching hardware devices.

Step 1. Sign in using your existing device

Step 2. Add your new device

Step 3. Remove your old device (or keep it for a backup)

And if you feel that's going to be a big issue for you, use a 3rd party software based tool like Bitwarden, 1Password, or other tools that have indicated they'll be supporting this. That info will sync between those software based tools and allow you to use whichever devices you wish, across multiple platforms with minimal effort.
“Apple has practically unlimited resources and power”

This statement isn’t grounded in reality. If it were, it would make more sense to be angry that they haven’t solved world hunger and ended the threat of nuclear war.
To be honest I never knew this feature existed.
Who is supposed to understand this then if not everybody? If you think of this as a "security focused engineer" problem then you've already lost.

If an engineer doesn't understand how to write secure software then they will continue to write un-secure software and there will be leaks and compromises. You're just externalizing risk and costs to your customers.
Not sure I 100% agree with (2) forming A^TA.
In many real-world use cases A^TA+choleksy is going to be considerably faster than QR on A, and come with few numerical consequences. Even in the numerically challenging cases, pivoted LDL^T on the saddle point system is still going to be faster than the suggested solution of doing QR on A. (Essentially no optimization solver I've ever seen uses QR).

I think the idea is that just because Mario takes place on a 2D plane doesn't mean we're obligated to assume that Mario is literally a mathematical two dimensional figure. These videos may still be very silly in terms of a real-world situation, but they're no more or less "correct" than the linked video for the original post.
I don't find this particularly morally dubious. These companies are approaching monopoly powers and using it to squeeze consumers. Disney owns about 1/3 of all box office revenue. The government has shown they're unwilling to break up monopolies, or even really limit them in any meaningful way.

Also, I don't quite know my feelings on this yet, but there is something real about some shows and movies being part of the milieu. Something doesn't sit quite right about repeatedly increasing the pricing via anti-consumer acquisitions on products that are contributing a substantial part of how the society collectively feels and thinks. It feels like you have to make more money to live in the same society.

If Google did an about face and started providing reasonable escalation mechanisms for when they lock you out of your account based on a faulty decision of their algorithm I'd consider it.

A few years ago when video chat was, if you asked tech workers, already the norm for remote meetings, I know for a fact that at least one of the big three management consulting firms still strongly preferred call-an-actual-phone-number voice conferencing.

It struck me as goofy at first but I think they had it right, actually. You can join a call like that from almost anywhere. Don't need to dig out a laptop, let alone VR garbage. Airport, walking down the street on the way to another meeting, in the car on speakerphone (like, probably don't do this, but of course tons of people do), whatever, it all works. No "do I have the service they want installed? Is it updated?" No other crap popping up and making noise or distracting you. And phone number plus code had fewer problems than meeting invites for all the hip services.

Maybe not having VR will end up being one of those things that signals either low or high status. I can't imagine C-suite types fucking around with VR except for big all-hands announcements or whatever.

I don't think consumers will care or notice who is serving their ads. Google and Facebook have absorbed all the worst that regulators can throw at them, paid their fines and are still swimming in cash. Apple can navigate all the precedent they've set and utilize their dominating vertical integration to sell ads in the markets they own: AppleTV, iTunes/Podcasts, mobile apps. They'll add $10B to their revenue without breaking a sweat.
Why not? Previous attempts at VR have not kept up their momentum for that long
No, that article shows it's a cheaper version of goodRx. His complaint is they are sometimes the same price as the cheapest competitor, and that they overstate the discount by not comparing their price to the actual price you'd pay a competitor.

But his first example, for example, is that they claim a 90% discount but are actually 60% of the goodRx price.

- The codebase is very small. Study the PDF references a few days, and eventually you'll start to understand how things work.

- No convoluted build system. Just "make xv6.img". Done.

- No need to build a custom compiler from source. On Linux systems: GCC supplied by your favourite package manager is sufficient. On Mac: install i386-elf-toolchain via Homebrew.

- Plenty of folks customizing it, like adding their own syscalls or a custom scheduler or a file system integrity check (Github is your friend).
