I used to feel that way, but since the S10 series, there are very few things built into the Galaxy line that fall in the description of shitware anymore. McAfee's device protection shit definitely, but other than that, I can't think of any forced crapware on my last 3 unlocked Galaxy devices.
Very happy to see this meta-topic written about! Especially happy to see the "bad faith" argument called out:

"The internet is already full of crap. People who aren't experts are just making it worse."

I keep seeing this argument, particularly on Hacker News. As the article says, it's not the content creator's fault for creating something the reader doesn't like. It's the content aggregator's job to improve matching content to readers.
I'm not fully sure but maybe Blazor (.NET) could suit your needs?

I have no idea what the status of MeteorJS is, but looks like it could fit your requirements.
Doesn’t look like it. Poster differentiates tourists going in to enjoy places and people who fly in to use places as backdrops for something else.

In other words the new tourists isn’t going in to enjoy a place for themselves but does it to amuse people elsewhere and couldn’t care much about actually taking in the places they visit.

Aristotle (and his students) documented the constitutions of over a hundred Greek states.

Unfortunately, all of them, except for that of Athens, are lost. It's a real shame, because these constitutions would be a treasure trove for understanding Greek politics in the 4th Century BC.
I use my computer, and type in a command
I press enter, and watch it expand

ls will list all the files, in a directory
cd will change the directory, with flexibility

touch will create a new file, with a simple name
rm will delete it, with no one to blame

mv will move it, to a new location
cp will copy it, for duplication

chmod will change the permissions, for security
grep will search for a pattern, with ease and agility

These are just a few, of the many commands

While true the volume of money and effort put into AI is considerable, and according to some an existential threat to life as we know it today. I'm not ready to panic just yet, though would appreciate putting some of that energy into more practical improvements.
> This is the argument that Uber used in NYC, though its validity is highly questionable

Why do you think it's questionable? This is really cut and dried, which is why NYC was unable to challenge Uber, as they had no case. Not liking something doesn't make it questionable.

> In countless cities around the world, however, Uber's operations were blatantly illegal

So examples would be nice here, at least in the U.S. I know of cases where cities decided to pass laws against Uber after they were established in the local market, in which case Uber obeyed those laws and pulled out, but of course lobbied to have the laws changed. Absolutely nothing about that sequence of events is "blatantly illegal".
Wonderful news indeed, but it’s not out of any ethical concerns, but because XI Jinping’s draconian zero-Covid policy and incessant lockdowns have made the Chinese supply-chain unreliable, something Apple like all businesses hate (remember, Tim Cook became head of Apple because of his supply-chain management chops).

Still, good to see the totalitarian tyrant Xi wrecking China just as his inspiration Mao did back in the day. Even if there is a new Deng to fix the damage after him, the world will not naively give China the same opportunities again.
I just started a month off of work (same situation as you) and will be returning at the start of January. I’m going to be keeping up with a running training plan I started a few months ago, trying to read a book every day or two, going to the coffee shop I like, and that’s it.
I just played with it around and wanted to compare what an article about this event would look like.

In my experience the people making that criticism tend to have done even less with their lives than the creators of whatever thing they are criticizing.

Your comment is suggesting a view of the Iranian elections that is completely separated from reality. Iran is classified as a totalitarian state[1], with only 11 countries in the world getting a lower rating in 2021. The fact that you've been "following" the elections, and you seem to claim that you can draw any meaningful conclusion about them regarding what people in Iran think of their leadership, is simply ridiculous.

> If you go to Hiroshima, do not miss… the cherry blossoms

This is kind of inverted. I followed the cherry blossom bloom West to East across Japan over a span of 2 months. I wouldn’t put Hiroshima on the top 10 cherry blossom spots. Sure, if you’re already in Hiroshima at the right time, then why not, but if people are actively seeking out cherry blossoms, they’d work backwards from where they want to go, then time it.

In case people were wondering, I thought the cherry blossoms in Hirosaki Castle were the best.
I agree "UI = f(state)" rocks. That was the one thing React got right. But they never worked out state management, other than to kick off the Flux monstrosity that Redux ran with, and every other UI I can find.

As for what I call the "Lego model" of UI construction, while definitely off-putting, I think the "why" is prolly "simplicity thru decomposition". So we do a bit more typing but have a dead simple approach to building our UIs.

The nice thing about any Lisp with its macro capabilities is that we can wrap sth like Flutter to produce a library that remains Flutter, but hides the noise.

ClojureDart offers a so-called "widget" macro, and my Matrix library goes a different way, making every constructor such as "scaffold" into a friendlier macro.
The OP is not asking a bunch of geeks what to do with time off. They’re asking a bunch of geeks what these geeks would do with time off. There’s a big difference and it’s interesting to me that so many of the geeks here jump to “advice mode” rather than answering the question.
Fucked up election systems everywhere. If there are basically only two parties by the way the counting works, then the those two parties can do the "approval of candidates" internally.

Main difference being that one system is run by religious group, and the other by the influence of the super-party-donors (aka capitalists).

Either way reform does not happen. Political prisoners (Assange in the west) still rotting in jail. Change is a word reserved manly for election rally banners, once elected they seem to change as little of the status quo as they can get away with.

"You're Not Listening" by Kate Murphy.

Having read more books on "how to communicate better" than I should admit to, Murphy's easy yet highly usedul read reminded me just how important listening is, just how important people feeling like they've been heard it.

I'm honestly not doing it just, and pardon the cliche but it was a game changer for me.

p.s. This was my second answer. Sorry?
AFAICT many student participants in the revolution thought they were fighting to install a relatively liberal democratic system, but when the regime actually fell it was hardline religious groups who were organised enough to fill the power vacuum quickly.

So I'm not sure it was so much the pendulum swinging the other way, as an organised group who were poised to take over when chaos ruled.

But my understanding is limited, so perhaps my view is poorly informed.
It is also worth noting the Iranian supreme leaders (there have only been two) are not Ayatollahs. I see these terms falsely conjoined many times in the comments here. Comparatively the Ayatollahs, or specifically the Grand Ayatollahs, are quite moderate compared to the fundamentalists In political power.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ali_Khamenei

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ayatollah

The most well known of the Ayatollahs is Ali Al Sistani who doesn’t even live in Iran and has no direct affiliation with the Iranian government.

>The only way to stop them is to physically guard {Sacred Value}

When the {Sacred Value} is participation in the marketplace of ideas, then guarding it against unwelcome elements is the same as destroying it. When your justification can be used, identically, word for word, by the same people who believe the opposite of your beliefs, then it's not a logical reason, but a justification.

Regarding the examples of criminal action, I'd heard of some of those events. I've also heard of a CNN host say that a teenager had a "punchable face" because he wore the wrong kind of hat and stood silently while being accosted by a screaming stranger banging a drum in his face. I've heard a lot of talk about punching Nazis, which seem to be a broader and broader group every year. I've heard of comedians jailed for jokes. I've heard of teenagers jailed for singing along to rap songs. I've I've heard of that quote by Trump, just as I've heard stories of news anchors standing in front of streets aflame, calling protests "mostly peaceful." It all reduces down to that Orwell quote, doesn't it?

I'm insulated from most of this, I realize, by not being American and not having the same intense loyalty to your political tribes. But "the other group is doing all these terrible things to us" is not a very convincing argument for changing beliefs like this. Every group wants to claim it is being marginalized, and basically every group can point out specific examples of exactly that marginalization happening. Giving one group the right to cancel the civil liberties of the other group, as the paradox of tolerance suggests, does not strike me as a particularly wise idea, given the stakes involved. I have no confidence in any group to hold that power justly.
I don’t think it actually can browse the web. It’s obviously been trained with an extensive web-sourced corpus.

It seems that the developers have placed guardrails around web-search-like queries not because ChatGPT can’t answer them, but because they want to discourage using it that way for—I’d guess because they want to direct usage towards the conversational / contextual aspects they’re trying to improve.
It's also useful for translating with specific instructions. I've replaced DeepL with it for German because I'm able to provide specific context, e.g "Write a friendly letter to the Ausländerbehörde asking about my X application".
Thanks for sharing. I was about to ask what happened to Rackspace. I distantly remember 2012ish or early to be when Rackspace was quite famous and I thought they were just an amazing company for some reason.
A current "cancellation of debts," would mean that your bank gets to keep all your money. However, it might be interesting to translate this constitution into modern language and logic and see how it might apply to tech platforms.
I like effects of my job and focus. So I welcome that change. I think people skilled in philosopy and quick-lerners will excel with this tech
Given how often intelligence is conflated with education or knowledge I don't think they're trying to avoid the word per se they're just trying to be explicit.

They do use the term intelligence in the article itself.

>That was a response of the commands in Okinawa, not an ask from the Japanese government. Much of the activism against Okinawa gets overruled at the national level by a Japanese government that wants the United States presence

Why does this small set of people want them there? I thought much of this was leftover from WWII -- but for whatever reason the Germans atoned and were given autonomy and the Japanese kept being weird about their war crimes and thus had some kind of constitutional obligation to only maintain a "self defense force"?

That's not the same as "wanting" an ally around the way folks up in Ontario might not mind if the PA national guard is willing to help out if the Russians start fucking around.

>Okinawa is much, much poorer than the rest of the country.

Maybe because they suffer discrimination in employment on the main island?

(That's what I was told happens, by multiple highly educated people who frankly had more skill than me in their respective fields compared to myself at their age.)
Because liberalism is largely a Western concept, at least in origin. And the conservative elites of Iran are popularly of the opinion that the riots and dissent are more a result of "Western" ideals polluting their core society than legitimate dissatisfaction among the people against the government.

Show HN: Puzzlip
Hey HN, I saw a similar puzzle a couple of weeks ago and I thought it seemed like a fun project to try to replicate while learning/practicing Rust+WASM. After having completed the puzzling functionality I thought: people like playing puzzles so why not share this with the world? So I added some polish and this is the result. The cool thing is you can theoretically create a puzzle from any publicly available image.

The code is fully open source https://github.com/lnenad/puzzlip, the site has no cookies. I am not well versed in Rust so anyone that wants to improve code by submitting a PR is more than welcome.

Tokyo is absurdly gigantic, I would not suggest randomly walking it. Also the subway system can be challenging, and the staff don't speak English, so if you get stuck they likely won't be able to help.

Another random thing about the train system: there are women-only cars. I didn't realize this until I had already boarded and (as a man) I was absolutely mortified.
Would a third party improve US politics?
The US currently has a two party political system. Would establishing a third party improve the US political system? The idea is that if a third party could establish a small but impactful percentage of the population (~15%) then it would force more cross party discussion and concessions. The 3rd party would have to be divisive enough to split from the two established parties and take members from both established parties.
Can anyone give me some advice that isnt completely generic?
Knowing a curve will eventually level off isn't very reassuring if you don't know what level it will reach.
That's not an academic fad, it's just how languages organically evolve. The connotation of words shifts over time. Retard was ok before, now people say braindead instead. Switching one "medical" condition for another doesn't really change much but here we are because one is considered more ok than the other. In the future it'll be something else again.

I wonder how much of ChatGPT's typical output you can find with some basic googling. For example, it feels like this answer was directly influenced by this or something similar: https://www.indiaforums.com/forum/topic/4405921

Shivangi: You're an idiot, that's who you are."

I'm getting the impression that ChatGPT is like an extremely over-confident, conversational Google. Dangerous for anything important, but fun for entertainment purposes.
I don’t know what the right term is but the world is worse than today and on the way down. It’s not apocalyptic, but it’s decaying and declining with loss of services, crime, chaos. But there’s still tech and big companies and stuff.

"Iran abolishes morality police"

.. and now, can we?

I'm a bit tired off all the bull crap that is no longer allowed to be said, as if self-policing oneself and being unable to honestly state one's opinion, is the way to become more authentic. As if repressing oneself and suppressing others could ever lead to a better society.
It’s part of the advances in computers - early games had no OS to speak of and had to do all the I/O and memory management themselves.

By the time of some of that was done by the OS but not much - now the OS handles quite a bit and the game engines are also “pre developed” for many things.
I started programming to do exactly that. Don’t understand your perspective.
They were great around those years. I launched a SaaS product on Rackspace’s cloud in 2013.

The support was top-notch. I could call a phone number and within minutes be on with the engineer who could actually fix an issue.

That changed around 2016 and support went downhill. Then the cloud product started to fall. When we engaged Rackspace, they suggested we migrate to AWS. So, we did.

Haven’t looked back.
I think the issue with macbooks is similar, but happens when you have USB-C dock with an external display connected. When you close the lid while connected to the dock, mac does not go to sleep but just switches to using the external display (aka clamshell mode) and when you unplug your computer to put it in your backpack, it just remains active instead of going to sleep.

The solution to this is to install noclamshell via brew or just get in the habit of disconnecting your mac first before closing the lid.

I noticed this because previously it was sleeping completly fine and the problems started only recently which is inline then I started using the dock.
Peter Principle only applies to hierarchical organizations or ones where role changes are hard. Even if the depth of hierarchy is 2.
How so? Anyone who sincerely asks a question wants the answer to be 100% correct, or the person answering to make it clear that they have a low confidence or don't really know. If the answer is false but stated with certainty, it is not only useless, it can even be worse than useless. There are other quality dimensions for answers, of course, such as the right level of detail and comprehensibility for the person asking, but these are all useless if the answer is false in the first place.

In my view scores are relative to expectations, usually tied to price. A restaurant with a $50 meal and a 3 star score will likely have better food than one with a $5 meal and 5 stars on an absolute scale, but the people who got their $5 meal were happy with it and the ones with the $50 meal were disappointed.
I believe this is just a way for the Iranian establishment to obtain a respite of momentum, regroup and then come back in full force, incarcerating as many demonstrators as possible. I hope the Iranians double down on making a meaningful change where people guilty of violence against protestors get punished and actually change the government a bit. It’s possible a complete overthrow is nearly impossible without a lot more casualties but this ruling seems like a false victory to me.
I’m surprised this was stretched out into an entire book. I’m not sure there’s much there or anything that can be taken away about the future being more analog. The argument simplifies to: when people weren’t allowed to do things in doors with others, they all went outdoors and had to take a break from the computer. The leap is they’ll now all love being outdoors and doing these things because I love doing these things. To find an easy counter example to that - flour is now well stocked and I haven’t had home baked sour dough for two years now. Instead of a societal shift to “analog” this all may just be a flash in the pan.
You may be right about that… maybe less a pendulum but definitely cause and effect.
