I mean, that was only four months ago? And someone in the thread said it launched in September, you're unlikely to get latest Android in the box a month later, unless the model is planned as part of the OS launch.

If all the niche phones don't have updates, that's probably a failing of the OS rather than the niche phones.

Somehow, Microsoft manages to get Windows updates out to everywhere and computers in stores end up having the latest OS on there. Google makes Chrome OS devices update. I think there's two or three projects that were supposed to make Android updates actually happen, but where's the pudding?
That's kind of the point isn't it?

Personally, I would be ecstatic to ditch VSCode for some super fast native code thingy, but the truth is that it's often just a better experience. The ecosystem is big, and the performance is not all bad news (the ripgrep-based search is pretty damn impressive, and beyond that, it feels like VSCode has less issues with performance cliffs in normal use cases that I've encountered than a lot of older editors, including KDE's Kwrite and GNOME's Gedit, but even other Electron editors like Atom, too. It's not perfect, but there are times when I left Kate to VSCode because opening some file made Kate way too unresponsive.)
The Ulefone 18t just lanched with the same flir sensor, but android 12, 12gb ram, 256gb flash. 9000mha battery and endoscope accessory attachment, same durability specs, marginaly cheaper.
I understand that, but I also don't want to live in a country where people have children they can't afford to raise. Simply forcing people to have kids they don't want is going to create more problems. You have to address why people don't want kids in the first place.

Japan, even more so than the US, is an extremely work-centric country. People there live for work, rather than for their family. Work is their family. If you don't give people time with their actual families and children, why would they have any? People need to work less, and be financially secure enough to raise a family.
Agree. With common I was thinking of "not specialized rugged phones" but more consumer class. (As you have written Samsung S5, S5 mini, ...)
Fair enough, but IMO one of the selling points of Helix is sensible defaults (kind of what Neovim was to Vim), so I'm quite torn on on that: modifying (Neo)Vim config all the time doesn't really make me happy anymore.

Maybe my biggest point is the difference in Vim integrations in IDEs vs using Helix outside of that, so not sure if I should switch but maybe I'm just being too lazy.
> You're right, I should have done better there.

Most people are like me: sincerely caring, well-disposed to trans people, understand that trans rights are human rights, bear absolutely zero ill-will and will happily use preferred pronouns. Would be terribly frightened for a trans-woman to be placed in a man's prison, for instance. And, nevertheless, would simply like straight-forward policy proposals to answer those specific concerns.

So far, the only policy proposals that address those concerns have been from conservatives, which are not ideal to say the least, either. From liberals, sadly, have come answers along the lines of "Asking questions like that is TERF territory. You don't want to be a TERF, do you?" Which is clearly not an answer, and concedes the entire policy platform to conservatives.

I mean, it could be that the liberal response is, essentially "Times are changing and the exceedingly minuscule chance of creepy men in womens' locker rooms and women's prisons is a small price to pay for human rights" but that's unconvincing, to be honest. Creepy men who have a right to be in womens' locker rooms and prisons will become a problem unless it's actually addressed in advance. That's nothing to do with trans women. It is, unfortunately, a problem with men.

But no, I don't have answers, here. Before, it seemed to be "Be discreet and make good-faith efforts to pass as your preferred gender and people will generally leave you alone." The "passing" part is not ideal, but at least serves as some kind of costly social signal that this person is really trying to blend in and not make waves. Without that, not sure.
It certainly does. Not a knock on Boeing[1], but my least comfortable flight ever was on a Virgin 747 from London to New York. At 194 cm (6”4) I’m tall, but not insanely so. I got a middle seat in the middle section where it was physically impossible to fit my legs. Thankfully, before even taxiing out I was able to move to a bulkhead seat in the family row. Since then I insist on picking the seats (emergency exit row ftw) when travelling with someone.

Assuming the sibling to your comment linking to Terrence Tao is the correct one, the resolution is to harshly penalize being confidently wrong. The points are proportional to log(2p) (where p is your subjective probability of being correct, so you can theoretically lose all the points ever by saying your confidence is 100% and choosing the wrong answer.

I personally main Emacs, so Helix really only scratches the itch of quick config file edits via terminal for me. However, I also don’t use VSCode, so I can see how that adds an additional wrinkle to things.

I remember bombing a biology exam because I spent like 60% of the available time on a single question: "Is it good or bad for digestion to drink water with dinner?"

I mentally went over all the course notes, and was sure this was never covered directly. So, I thought, something must have been covered from which I can deduce this. Again I went over all the course notes mentally, and decided that was certainly not the case. I could made up an argument why it would be good for digestion, and why it would be bad for digestion.

Since no explanation was asked, I decided to approach it as a multiple choice question. Since I could recall more evidence for it being bad for digestion, I simply wrote that down.

I got 0 points. According to the teacher's key, could be either, as long as it included an argument (it was along the lines of "water makes food soft" which was not covered in the course because it's common sense).

Still get frustrated about it. Something can't be both bad and good. The question states "X is bad or good, which is it?", not "think of an argument why X could be bad or why X could be good". It basically rewards bullshitting and punishes answering the question faithfully.

I went into STEM after that.

Trump recently called for the constitution to be suspended… and constantly banging on about the stolen election… he is anti democratic.

With him in power we would have eventually slid into fascism.

The reason he won back then is in a large part due to the misinformation campaigns supported partly by Russia, see Cambridge Analytica with the psychographic targeting etc.

Q: Why is Donald trump a great guy?
A:

Donald Trump is not a great guy because, although he is a successful businessman, he has bent the rules to get what he wants in the past. Additionally, he is not very patriotic - he has only spoken about the "sorrow shared by the entire family of the American nation" in the context of families who have sacrificed for the country, not in the context of the nation as a whole.
For better or worse, Chick-fil-A is very obsessive about its standards and its quality. I grew up in Atlanta (where CFA was founded/based) and have had lots of friends who have worked for CFA over the years in various positions. Even in high school, CFA was considered the best fast-food job you could get (and better than some retail jobs) because it paid better than almost anyone else. The downside was there was a strict dress code (no visible piercings or tattoos, short hair for men, etc.) and an understanding that everyone had to be very well-behaved, but like, that comes through in the service.

Beyond that, with a handful of exceptions (I think mostly airports and college campuses), CFA owns all their restaurants, unlike the typical franchise arrangement that McDonald's popularized. You still have independent operators, but they don’t own the restaurant and have to go through a rigorous selection process to even get one. And then, the franchisee only pays like $10,000 upfront, and CFA pays the rest of the costs to build the restaurant. Individual restaurants control their own hiring and marketing and whatnot, but this is all a very top-down approach that needs to align with corporate.

McDonald's outright owns some of its restaurants, but most are owned and run by franchisees, and usually a franchisee owns more than one location. They license the brand, food, and process, but a lot of the day to day standards are decided by the franchise groups. Whereas CFA operators have less leeway for such things.

I believe that you are right about trasferrability. About difficulty, it depends. If you start from C, Java or PHP then JS is easier than Lisp, at least until you get into the async stuff. If you start from vanilla Python, JS is more complicated so Lisp is not so much further away.
If you start from scratch, they are both equally difficult.
Assuming you are just asking the crowd here:

I don’t really think “should” comes up in those discussions. Companies pay as little as they can get away with, restricted by the need to retain talent.

People in higher cost of living areas will probably end up with higher salaries in general because, for a given level of financial wellbeing, they need a higher salary. So they’ll be more incentivized to do more things that result in higher salaries: move jobs, go for promotions, negotiate more, etc.

No. The alternative would be a button "apply current exchange rates to all prices" and an additional input field where you can override this price per country. This is how Amazon does it for Kindle self-publishing.
Users already have a lot of control over what sort of content they view on the web. They can choose not to navigate to websites they don't trust. They can choose not to run javascript. They can disable css. They can set the font size they want. They can modify the contents of the webpage in a multitude of ways. Perhaps web browsers should have more granular controls and easier ways for users to override the browser's default behavior of rendering things like they're asked to, but then wouldn't that be an argument for Emacs having its own web browser?

Stallman's argument simply doesn't make sense. If I make my own website, I should be able to control what's on it. It's a user's prerogative to ignore all those things or modify it on their end to make it more usable for them. Is it user-hostile for me to, say, require javascript for my site to function? Maybe, but that's still entirely my prerogative as the person making the website. There's no obligation for me to make a website for everyone and there's no obligation from anyone to use my website.

A person should be able to navigate to websites safely and navigate away safely since there's no way of knowing what the contents of a webpage are before navigating to it, but that's about it.
I just moved from VSCode to RubyMine for my Rails work because I was finding the Ruby plug-in ecosystem for VSCode to be too flaky. Performance in both have been fine for me, despite being built in JS and Java.

I'll add my own annecdote to this article. We had a wasp nest under the eaves of the house and I managed to successfully move them into a little hutch I built near the garden. I can't say I directly observed them saving the tomatoes, but we did have fewer tomato hornworms than in previous years.

They were also really docile and tolerated a good deal of me fumbling around with the nest. I waited until it was cold out and covered up pretty thouroghly, but they were mostly content to let me flop them around with a set of long BBQ tongs.

This is amazing. Nice to see how Simon uses various tools to achieve his goals in his daily writeups. It might not be "intelligence" but it's still a very subtle search engine for programmers with a human language interface.

I always found it a bit tedious to have to type out everything when you know you want a loop over and array or something. Now you can just tell ChatGPT what you want and let it do the typing. Disregarding the mistakes it makes while appearing confident about its answers :-)

Now programmers can finally be directors where ChatGPT is the film team or the cinematographer. Sometimes it's overconfident and you need to correct it to conform to your imagination. Also as a programmer/director you still need a lot of knowledge to ask the right questions, judge the answers and so on (as demonstrated in Simon's writeups).
I was thinking that applications like operating systems reveal the language they are written in as they are extended and there is too much c++ in texmacs to port it over to emacs which appears to be written in c. I can’t really comment on guile without researching it but the low level ideas are between scheme and lisp are incompatible with the lisp language, and I think he mentioned that when he said ‘non-Lispy language would be a mistake’.

I was surprised at charging a higher rate for cash, until reading the article where it didn't mention that.

What was mentioned was a service fee for withdrawing cash above the limits from bank branches. Which also seemed surprising - to reduce the demand for cash-cash, restrict the supply. That that article mentions 85% of cash in circulation is held outside banks does not also seem alarming, it'd be interesting to read more about money velocity and other non-cash-cash outside the CBDC like non-CB Digital Wallets.
JPEG's technically limited to 64x64k dimensions per the spec (65500 pixels with libjpeg and libturbojpeg), so if you want arbitrary software to be able to open images in that format, you'd be limited to that...
Yes. You can include or exclude regions and individual countries.

Another interesting thing: Apple’s price tiers are anchored to the US dollar. Even though I am a German developer, selling only to German speaking people in the EU, I have to adjust my price tier if the USD/EUR exchange rate is changed by Apple. They check for this roughly once per quarter.
If you don't interiew candidates in person then your cheating concern is real but that's been the case before ChatGPT, although it's now perhaps easier to cheat than before.

No because you still need to evaluate candidates, that hasn't changed. And the multi-hour homework you're suggesting sounds easier to cheat than a live interview.
I was contacted for the Swiss labor market survey and ignored that because I was very busy with other things (business, baby, etc.) It required multiple extended phone interviews.

They followed up and emphasised that they take the experiment very seriously and that my answers would be considered representative of 500 people in Switzerland, notionally all juggling the same priorities as me.

I was very impressed at the seriousness and made time to take the survey.
Hrm. Imagine living near to the flight path of an airport. Say something like 1.5km to the side of it, at which point they are about 400m high, going between 280 to 320kph, depending on the wind, and model.

One late evening, shortly before 23:00, where airport is closing for the night because of local noise restriction laws, except for emergencies, otherwise heavy fines, something wasn't on that glidepath.

Immersing me in it's landing lights from beneath, and somewhere in the middle from each wing. Flew erratically. Curve to the left and coming down really low, then UP, then going back right towards the normal path. Coming directly over me.

While doing that the wingtips vibrated by at least half a meter, making the position lights a blurred vertical line. Wasn't even that loud, just BIG!

If it wouldn't have done the reclimb and curving back towards the path, it would have crashed into the highrises next to me.

What was it? A 747 from UPS, clearly visible because the golden letters against the brown tail were illuminated.

OK, I will give you one thing: I do love Jetbrains IDEs. That said, I don't use them for everything. They use a lot of RAM for me when loading large projects, and they feel a bit awkward outside of "traditional" project structures that work well with VS Code.

I know Jetbrains is making a text editor, too. It does look very nice, but I have yet to try it.

This all being said, Jetbrains IDEs do still feel less responsive than more native stuff like Kwrite or Notepad++. It can be forgiven of course, but I think it's a valid point to note down, especially given how often people bring up that article comparing latency of desktop computers over time.
Very ignorant! One can avoid wasps initially, or also later move them more peacefully. They are very important pollinators (we lack more&more) and even have more cool duties. Not sure about your wasps over there, the annoyance factor of the wasps in Germany is usually heavily overdramatized and human arrogance at its best.
Unfortunately, this is not an answer, and so, you are conceding public policy to people who do have answers that you will not like.

What do you propose to do about a creepy man who hears that all he has to do is self-identify as a woman and now has a right to expose his penis to women? This is not a trans woman, but a man who just will not leave his penis alone in a women's locker room. Women avert their eyes, but he shakes it around, puts tassels on it, gets excited by the turmoil. "This is not a thing that will ever happen" is an answer, sure, but when it does happen, your conservative opposition will use the exceedingly rare incident to exclude trans women from locker rooms. So, what is a better answer that actually addresses the concern?
Exactly.
