Overall there are many more practical settings that are available in the new UI. I don't remember everything that wasn't in the previous version, but I don't remember things like line spacing, character spacing, and word spacing. Of course, new features don't have to come at the expense of existing features, especially not when we're comparing page turn animations to text rendering, but as people say, this could be part of a transition to swift, so it's expected that there would be trade-offs in re-implementing features. I'm thinking more people are positively impacted by things like text rendering than page turning.
The way some users talk about him on this thread sounds almost cultish and creepy. I'm not American and don't play video games, but the way he's talked about you'd think he's Alan Turing or something.
> Large RAM Capacity

> Pro: 16GB 64-bit 2112MHz LPDDR4X

I do not think that word means what you think it does. I'm also flabbergasted in a world where a 64GB DDR4-2666 is $200 why anyone would say "16 GB is enough for anyone". Or, here's a fun thought: stop soldering RAM on the MB and let me upgrade on my own dime

I went to their YT channel, and it wasn't terribly helpful, but one of the recommended videos seems handy, including showing how small it really is: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s1wtxr3XJQQ
In particular there seem to be couple of MMIO stores, maybe those are done with some accessor/macro which accidentally makes too much stuff volatile causing this extra zero-addition etc. So yes seeing all the code could give some clues...
The page turn animation was truly excellent. I have seen a few other apps/sites try to copy it, some of them did it pretty well. But one detail I’ve never seen anyone else do: the text of the curled page is “distorted” in 3D, as one would expect of a real page. The closer the letters are to the part of the page that’s orthogonal to the screen, the more the are squished.

It’s an effect that’s quite complicated to do. You need to put the page on a 3D cone and render that. I have quite a bit of experience with UI kit animations, but I don’t know how I would do that one.
I wonder if there’s a Hollywood marketing department at work.
Compared to the Soviet approach to housing this is not entirely impressive.

Take, for example, more than one "round houses" with around 200m diameter of one building.

Terrible choice by Apple - o m g; you’re not kidding on the weird asymptote towards ugly-low-effort-minimal.
I am amazed at the progressive downfall of Apple over UX and UI in their products. Recently, I moved to downgrade my Mac Mini 2018 to Monterey over the horrible performance hit and overheating that I've got with Ventura.

Correct. There is no on-chain way to prove that my exchange doesn't actually owe some third party a trillion dollars.
Specifically, works published from roughly 1830 through the first quarter or half of the 20th century, driven by falling publication costs and rising literacy. Charles Dickens on particular developed the model, with The Pickwick Papers, published in 1836. Another notable work, the Sherlock Holmes series debuted in 1887 ("A Study in Scarlet").

Earlier novels (relatively few in number) tended to appear as their own works in whole form, so far as I'm aware. Though many may have been adaptations of other works --- sagas or legends (e.g., the Faust legend), plays, and other forms.

Phrases like “benevolent dictator for life” have become pretty widespread, and they are cute, but I think the slightly obscure the issue or focus on the wrong thing.

A dictator can function with a small, powerful core of supporters (usually the military and then some key demographic or powerbrokers depending on the situation), and then keep the rest of the populace in their place through violence if necessary.

I think when we talk about somebody like Linus or Guido, they aren’t really dictators so much as consensus leaders. Everybody might not agree with their individual decisions, but there’s widespread agreement that somebody has to lead, and everyone can agree that there isn’t anyone who can do a better job.

And we should also note that Democracy isn’t some self-perpetuating system that can actually impose itself. Functionally, we don’t have a democracy because there’s 51% support for the leaders. We have a democracy because there’s broad consensus in the idea that, while we don’t always agree with the individual decisions of the democracy, we don’t have a better way of making decisions.

Honestly I don’t think it really matters so much how the decision making process works. Functional systems are ones in which the decision making process has broad consensus support. It could be tied to an idea, it could be tied to a person, it could even be tied to some abstract idea like following the rules of a religion. What matters is that people broadly think the system is good, follow it when nobody is checking, and are ok with following the spirit of the rules rather than getting hung up on process and technicalities. In open source, these tend to be personalized systems because somebody will just start a personal project and it will grow, but that’s very tied to the nature of programming and the fact that an individual can easily get a minimum viable product for many programming ideas.
Most, myself included, have a very limited understanding of the economy we are part of, so I'm not surprised by complaints. Every so often, someone making 2 or 3 times the national average income makes an ass of themselves on TV by claiming they're economically disadvantaged.

In some senses, you don't even have to go to the suburbs to be unimaginably better off now than it was possible to be a century ago, because a century it was not possible, at any price, to make a weekend trip between New York and London; to be immune to the common forms of seasonal flu; to have a video call with someone; to get penicillin; 3D printers, and indeed all CNC machines more complicated than a loom controlled by punched cards, would've been fantasy; and so much more besides.

TVs are cheap now. So are 3D printers, travel, and phones.
Why This Housing Downturn Isn’t Like the Last One
This might be a result of my Kindle being old, it's the 2012 model. It doesn't have ads.

I am concerned that it might break, because none of the newer Kindle work like the old one. It has button, a non-touch display and isn't backlit, all things I consider must have feature, or non-features. Personally I don't understand why they didn't just stop development at that point and just lowered prices as the components became less and less expensive.
The comment mentions original iPhone screens. They were 3.5" and we hold phones differently because of the sub 4" displays.

The idea back then was maybe to separate the confirm action from other actions located at the bottom bar.

Human Interface Guidelines changed a lot as Apple changed the iPhone form factor. But with a 3.5", most of the screen is "uniformly" reachable and the bottom is slight less reachable as you usually need to flex the thumb.

It does prove that the exchange is in possession of "liquid" assets matching user deposits, which I don't think is worthless, especially if the userbase is large.

I agree that it's far from a comprehensive proof though. Perhaps exchanges need to stick to the bigger auditors for now.
That's not how human works. We love non-functional things around us. I doubt that you live in a white cube.

Our minds are pretty good at focusing on important stuff. We don't need white margins for that. We can focus on important stuff even with non-white margins. And those non-white margins might actually bring some joy when you can't focus anymore, because brain focus is finite.

There's no way for industry not going back. It'll go back. It always did. We move in spiral. We just need to completely forget how good skeuomorphic interfaces were, so companies will sell those again. Probably executed much better.

The larger difference is that KiwiFarms members don't get paid for what they do. That being said, you can be disgusted by something while still accepting it as a valid form of self-expression. Real-life crimes deserve prosecution to the fullest extent of the law, but people being mean online is a shitty justification for deciding to void an entire website. It's entirely Cloudflare's choice to make, but it's value as a virtue signal is vastly outweighed by how many CF customers are wringing their hands now.

I wish there is the option of customization. This should be an option in the settings of the app nothing more.
There are only few options,
1. Use USB controller Chip that support 10Gbit or more.
2. Use 10Bit or more ethernet, Optical or copper.
3. Use PCIe
4. Use onboard storage.
5. Use HDMI or something custom and have another receiver (They are called frame grabber and everybody hate them).

Right now there are not many controllers on market that can do more than 5Gbit

Most useable solution is to use Ethernet , I would say optical.

Changing away from the “wp_posts table for all things” as a convention would vastly improve WordPress performance.

Talk to someone about how gross this is and they’ll start justifying it to you as “history” and then talk about how cool it is that WordPress was never meant for what it’s used for today but still works. It makes all the managed hosting feel like one big conspiracy.

I can’t tell you how many times I’ve had to optimize raw queries in that stupid framework. Thank god for the rise of SSG and decoupled content management system.

OP here...

My first linux computer was a 33Mhz i386. I can't remember the amount of RAM, but it must have been 2MB or maybe 4MB.

This thing has 64MByte of RAM, after login, 44MB of it is free.
Consider PineTab, which runs free software.
Not sure. People haven’t lost enough money or felt enough pain for there to be the true despair which will cast it into the cold for a generation. Not yet.

But if it is security theater, how is that compliant with regulations? Hopefully regulators could see or could be pointed to see through the curtain. I guess that plenty of people will be monitoring the packets transmitted over their network.

The client side encryption/decryption process is described at https://developers.google.com/workspace/cse/guides/overview

If I got it right, Google generates a key and sends it to the external service that stores the keys of the user. That service uses a Google API with probably Google's and the user keys [1] to encrypt the message (and this is quite disturbing, imagine if every company would require key management services to use its own API - Office365, Apple, second tier mail providers, etc.) and finally Google stores the encrypted message. Similar procedure to decrypt.

At a first glance Google is not able to see the message, except that they provide the browser to most people and the OS too (Chromebooks and especially Android.) However we're back to monitoring the network packets for suspicious traffic to Google.

What I'm more concerned about is regulatory capture through compliance. If E2E messages become the new normal either clients like Thunderbird (desktop) or K9 (mobile) implement an interoperable E2E system or more sooner than later it will be impossible to use them to mail customers and maybe friends too. And uncountable IMAP / POP3 / SMTP libraries for a lot of different languages: they eventually have to display the message and encrypt it before sending it.

Of course I'm all in for encrypted email but let's hope everybody can jump on it no matter the mail client they use. I'd hate that the only choices left will be GMail, Apple and Office365 (if they'll be able to talk to each other.)

There's no way to make a sane case that it is the fault of a single law, or an idiosyncrasy of US campaign financing, that the amount of money you have has an decisive effect on politics. It's not a question of blue eyes vs. brown eyes, it's a question of wolves vs. kittens.

edit: If you want to do something politically that would harm my business, I can just silence you, have you jailed, or kill you. No campaign finance necessary. I can sponsor debates about the degree to which you molest children in my newspapers and on my television channels every day.

Hell, the money that goes to campaigns that isn't wasted to party graft just goes back to media owners, anyway. It's like US foreign aid, denominated in store credit at US favored contractors.

Heh... I do feel like a dinosaur at times.

Do you have a suggestion for a better platform?
It amazes me how being competent is enough to make you the best thing in Star Wars.

Andor is just that: competent (oftentimes barely competent: as most SW shows and movies it still can't master the art of walking and taking at the same time. Even the most "dynamic" scenes are actors making two steps, stopping, talking without even moving their bodies or hands or arms, then making two more steps, repeat).

The article has weird obsession with sex (is the author an adolescent themselves?). There are actual grown-up things Andor did that really work in show's favor:

- people are shown to be generally competent regardless of gender or race, and grown ups are generally treated as grown-ups, and not bumbling idiots

- rebellion is shown as actual rebellion: multiple factions, and "we have to kill a few to save multitudes". Which is refreshing after four decades of "rebels are angels, empire is evil"

- the Empire is shown as an actual thing that exists and works. And it's rather efficient at what it does (and fails as empires often do)

But all that is hurt by the format (three 30-minute episodes making a single "story", repeat 4 times). All that could be condensed in two hours. And it's hurt by Diego Luna whose limited acting ability hurts the character and every scene he's in.
I have, yes, and I've gone as far as finding friends and former colleagues who would be interested in joining me. Unfortunately health insurance is tied to employment in this country and we all have families. The uncertainty in that regard leaves it a non-starter for people in our situation. At least for the time being.
The problem with Blair was that he lost the right on EU/immigration and lost the left on everything else.

Brownites sound good but say nothing specific...often the specific stuff is bad too. I agree with you in that there is a route in the centre, but Labour aren't. The party is fundamentally broken. Starmer isn't it, Reeves isn't a leader, Streeting is a joke. Obviously, they have moved to the centre on immigration and crime but...the party are just mad, and it doesn't seem authentic at all (Starmer was a human rights lawyer, getting rid of ECHR is the only course...you would have to be an idiot to believe he would do that, it just isn't credible).

The ambiguity of Labour is causing part of these problems. For example, their position of ambiguity on healthcare...clearly, it is broken...but they decide to be ambiguous (again, classic Brown) so their polling numbers stay up. There needs to be some kind of cross-party move towards reform but it is impossible when one side just wants to score points as the "protector of the NHS" (and it will end up with Labour winning, then finding out they are neck deep in trouble trying to do reforms that don't work...it will never be fixed).
I guess I struggle to understand why Linux and Windows are always pitted against each other. At this point, they're both good for different things and dual booting is relatively easy. Storage is cheap and Linux is small. I've been dual booting for the last 5 years and I'm totally happy. I use Windows for gaming/media and Linux for development. I wish everyone would stop trying to fight this war as if only one operating system is allowed to exist.

Compare to 30 years ago instead. Wealth in terms of being able to buy property is decreasing in many countries, which can be more significant than any increased ability to buy consumer gadgets (that will spy on you). And the countries with less wealth inequality don't in principle have less wealthy common people.

I suspect K&R may have been written initially as an internal reference (for AT&T).

Though it also pre-dated the era of mass-market computer books, say, 1995--2010 or so.
Is there a resource to look up such things for future reference? Furthermore, are any open-source projects familiar with any of these top 100 accounting firms?
Only if you were actually going to be influenced to buy the thing in the first place. And it's not like the various bits of advertising from a sponsorship go entirely unnoticed in many circumstances, with various requirements to add text ads to video descriptions and pinned comments.

If you're looking to be actually informed - rather than manipulated - you're not missing out on much with SponsorBlock.

Not to mention I've never actually seen anything both potentially useful and novel-to-me show up in a YouTube sponsorship anyway. It mostly seems to be full of companies with established models looking for ways to boost their adspend even higher after they've tapped out other avenues.
The promise is that they start targetting Proton or devices like the steam deck in particular.
Seconded. A lot of the video runtime is covering fairly well known topics, but there are moments of brilliance, where it made things "click" for me. The treatment of the characteristic matrix and how the same matrix can derive both t and point parameterizations was particularly insightful.
Those don’t track well.
It's a bold statement, but I agree. Reading is an evening activity for me, that means the phone is put away, computer is in the office, TV is off. There will be no reading on any display that is backlit, that would defeat the purpose for me.

I understand that it's useful to sometimes have access to books on a computer, phone or table, but that's for professional use in my mind, and not a replacement for a physical book in the same sense a device with e-ink displays are.

Even if you read on the iPad, I don't fully understand why you'd want the page animations anyway. Still the complain in the article is weird, just accept it and move on, if you're waiting for Apple to switch back I feel your going to wait a very long time.
Hence the "without your permission" caveat. Point being, when you lend your assets to brokerage, it's explicit, unlike a fractional reserve bank, where deposits are inherently lent out (and no need to comment that fractional reserve banking doesn't "really" work this way, I get it, but deposits are still part of the capitalization of the bank).
It absolutely does narrow the distribution substantially.
