I don't know if the US market is very different, but in Spain I'd say like 80% of the phones people buy fit into that gap...

Below $150 you only have the cheapest models by brands like Xiaomi, and over $1000 you only have the flagships.

There are plenty of models in the middle, not only Pixels but also a plethora of offerings from Oppo, Samsung, Xiaomi, Vivo, Honor, Poco, etc. Name any [X,X+100] interval in that range and there are phones of that price. Last week I went with my mother to buy one for her, she settled for the Oppo Reno 8 (about $500) but there was the Lite version at about $100 less, the Pro version at about $100 more, and then other lineups from the same brand (Find X5 in Lite/normal/Pro versions, etc., and many, many others we didn't even look at); and that's within a single brand.

So your parent comment doesn't make much sense to me even if it's hyperbolic. Maybe the available offer is really different in the US, here there are definitely plenty of models of all prices. A different story is that all brands tend to make the same decisions and follow trends (e.g. ditch the headphone jack, make screens larger, etc.) so everything is sameish and even if there are hundreds of models to choose from, it's possible to not find a model that fits one's needs. I myself imported my phone (Pixel 6 Pro) from Australia because no brands other than Apple or Samsung seem to sell 512 GB storage models here...

What an incredibly interesting read. I'm gonna have to read more about Wright's widow, who seems ... curious. And I'm not sure what to take away from this other than what a dynamic and complicated life. I can't imagine being married so much and abandoning children or a tattle tale sibling causing a partner to be sent off to a prison camp. She seems more complicated than her own family and never seemed to find a purpose or peace, captured by her own idiosyncrasies and the politics of her life which she hated so much for people to bring to her attention but what herself could not stop thinking about.

I wish the article had pictures, and I found the author a bit cold. When he reduced his frequency of writing, because he had finished his book and gotten what he needed, this seemed a bit distant.

> Exercise requires some level of motivation

Only when you don't enjoy that particular from of exercise. If it is fun, that's the only motivation you need.

I used to struggle with anxiety and depression, until I found that 60-90 minute walks would clear my mind and help me feel much better. The effects wouldn't last very long, though, so I walked around five days per week, or around 30Km per week.

Then I bought a bike and found it much more fun, which means I look forward to my bike rides. Because of that it doesn't feel like a chore. It also turned out to be more time efficient, and the mental benefits of a single ride last for a few days, so if I catch a cold and can't ride ride for a few days I am not crawling up the walls like I did back when I only walked.
Heard them saying they may do that. So could happen!
I like ve magit, but I often enough find that I end up in a sticky situation that I can't resolve without retreating back to the CLI. I don't know if that's a deficiency in magit or just a matter of me not knowing well enough how to use it. Typically I just call the magit equivalent of whatever git base command I want and helm gets me the rest of the way with setting parameters.
I'm definitely going to have a look at this. I was just comparing hugo, soupalt, jekyll and zola for a tiny geocities-ish blog site, and will add that to the list.

Religion can play a major role without becoming a point of conflict if everyone agrees. For example, many European countries still have established Christian churches and (possibly opt-out) religious education in schools. If Muslims in Sweden were filing lawsuits to prevent public money from being used to support religious education, or to force Denmark to disestablish the Lutheran Church, I suspect you would see religion becoming a point of contention.

In France, Muslim immigration has made religion a major campaign issue. The French frame it as a matter of secularism versus Islam, but French secularism is better described as a form of Enlightenment-flavored post-Catholicism: https://www.europenowjournal.org/2019/10/02/the-catholic-nes...

Hi HN~~So, I just created NoteLock, a new app that allows you to send secret messages super easily using end-to-end encryption, on an open channel (so they remain encrypted in transit and at rest). This is my second MacOS app ever, so I'm pretty stoked. Just wanted to put something super simple and free on the app store. I noticed that there weren't any apps out there that made this process as effortless as it should be, so I created LockNote to give people a secure and simple way to share confidential information.

All you need to do is enter your message and a password, and NoteLock generates a base64 text that you can post anywhere. All operations happen offline, on your device, and no data is ever sent to any server anywhere. Plus, I was able to use industry-standard AES-GCM encryption, which I'm pretty stoked about. Thanks to CryptoKit and Chat GPT, I was able to create something that's not only secure but also easy to use (and was easy to make). Plus I had a bunch of fun making the app preview video for this^0 Man I really love Muzak. Especially royalty free Muzak~~I didn't know there was so much of it!

I've always been fascinated by encryption, and creating LockNote was a chance for me to play around with it in a very straightforward way. Aside from that: I really wanted to check the box on the App Store that says: "Does your app use non-exempt encryption" But then I realized that AES in CryptoKit was exempt anyway! If you're like me and you like encryption, or just want to easily send encrypted text in the open, NoteLock is definitely worth checking out.

This is a fork of Atom, right?

And tbh the European demographics expansion between 1500-1800, before industrialization properly spread out from Britain [0], was the Columbian Exchange.

Potatoes unlocked lots of land in the northern part. And the other unsung botany, too.

And the ability to send surplus men (and women) to an empty (because of disease) continent instead of having them warring against each other like pre-Columbian Europe and East Asia (looking at Sengoku) is also decisive...

[0] Remember one reason why Britain was able to fight Napoleon even when the entire continent was conquered was because of industries.
I think it was more that Unity's "JS" was actually their own language that was just very similar to real Javascript. They were forced to support the language itself as well as the integration. It was a lot easier to just support C#, which is maintained by others.

You cannot purchase plans across state lines. You cannot purchase the same plan you would get if you worked at a large company.

The law is basically written by the insurers, and favors them. It allows them to segregate people based on who they work for, etc.

In an ethical system, there would be just a single, non-segregated pool of people called a 'market', and anyone would be able to purchase any plan they want from that market, regardless of which state they lived in and regardless of who they did or did not work for.

Federal employees have such a system, and prior to obamacare, there was actually bipartisan agreement forming around enabling everyone to participate in that system. It's probably why obamacare was rushed through quickly by the insurance companies.
It’s a rebranded Atom, which was sunsetted recently.

Nothing seems certain at this point, but, let’s say the pandemic was actually caused by a lab leak. That’ll mean the world was brought to an economic standstill and millions of people died because of the errors and carelessness of some people…will there be consequences? What will be the assurance that such deadly mistake won’t occur again?

If it was actually a lab leak, then it’ll definitely rank as the most costly and fatal mistake in the 21st Century. I can hardly wrap my head around it; human error causing damage on a mythical scale. Scary stuff.
I thought so too. But counterintuitively, security keys are treated the same as an already logged-in device. This means, even if you had a security key set-up, an attacker would still be able to change the iCloud password only with the knowledge of the device passcode. The attacker could even remove the security key after changing your Apple-ID password.

You only get the extra security of the security key when you set up a new device or when you log in using a browser.

> You missed the last sentence of the comment

I didn't, and I agree with the comment. I'm elaborating upon it.
Most of the time an opinion contradicting the hive mind will end up at 0, -1, -2, for instance controversies as ‘Elon Musk is just a businessman trying to run businesses’ or ‘Not all inconveniences in tech can directly be blamed on Steve Jobs’.

But with topics where there is a media and government wide push against ‘desinformation’ like during COVID, a statement like ‘two weeks to stop the spread doesn’t work’ or ‘the vaccines will not end the pandemic’ the hivemind medical science parrots will very swiftly act to kill and bury this dissent under the proscribed talking points. And yes, that is frustrating and causes crass reactions.

Especially the pandemic really has opened my eyes to a very significant weakness in our society, media, governance and scientific institutions and in the general common sense of the population and its willingness to be manipulated. And it reflects in this site. And it’s not limited to COVID, there are many topics that are just untouchable like most of Woke.

That is not a criticism of the moderation team, it’s on the people who vote on comments and I don’t have a solution either. Personally I just don’t care about the points and try to remain reasonably distant to avoid becoming toxic.
I think it is actually clever. First of all it not in the foreground or side by side, reducing area for the useful content. And at the same time it immediately promotes the tech with no marketing words - look, you can do this, it runs flawlessly without lag or stuttering. Seems to me it's a nice balance between marketing and useful info (text and links).
The timing is wrong though. Industrial Revolution started in 1760. By that time the British had already laid the foundation for their rule of India, and the other powers also were well on their way to colonization.

In fact, looking at the timing, one could almost make the argument that the Industrial Revolution was the effect of colonization and exploitation of the rest of the world and not the cause.
There's also just quality of life. My life would be significantly worse if 100 million extra people lived in my state. I wouldn't care very much about escaping the Malthusian trap if it meant I had to live in a sprawl of constant density. Broadly speaking, higher and higher density does lead to an overall worse quality of life, which is something of a repugnant conclusion.
I've experienced more divisive content from western media itself than overt anti-west stuff from RT or yandex lmao.
Fully agree with the first part, disagree with the second: women elected to work, they did not needed to work. Single income family was in a way better than dual income family, the world was in a great shape in the '60-'70 when women started to move to paid jobs. Now you have a lot more workers, more leverage to employers and a lot less time spent in the family and less time to have kids when you want to build a career at the same time (and that career is just a regular job in 90% of the cases).
Well Germany with it's much more conservative population and petty kings and nobles were able to outgrew liberal Britain and republican France between 1870-1918, and so did Archconservative Russia post-1900 or so.

Of course both fell in WW1 but the period just before it was quite interesting to ponder about.
> If those companies were countries, they would be authoritarian dictatorships.

Although there are some fair points in the article, the main thesis that companies are countries is incorrect. Governments have a monopoly on physical force. Being fired is not the same as being thrown out of a country.
I have no experience with those platforms, so I don't know how deep the instruction is. After taking, say, a Calculus course there, would you be comfortable doing Spivak's exercises? If yes, that seems great.
> So, am I still supposed to specify UID and GID?

If you run your container as a non-root user and create a user without setting a UID / GID it'll default to 1000:1000, so unless your Docker host's user isn't 1000:1000 then things work out of the box. A lot of this is general Linux knowledge around user / file permissions, not so much Docker.

> Should I be using Alpine or Debian?

Debian, no contest in my opinion.

> How do I handle loading certificates?

You can volume mount them or deal with SSL certificates in a way where Docker isn't involved such as running nginx on your Docker host directly or putting a load balancer in front of your app and handling SSL there.

> Should I use an override config for development?

You can use the same docker-compose.yml file in all environments and tweak things with environment variables. The compose file supports variable interpolation. Docker Compose profiles also let you control which services to run in each environment, it's even configurable by a single env variable.

> Do I still need to worry about Docker blowing a hole in iptables?

If you use -p 8000:8000, yes this will publish the port in a way where the outside world can access it. Likewise without Docker if you edit iptables to allow that port it will too. I wouldn't classify this as blowing a hole in iptables. This is "user configured application to make a port open to the world".

> Maybe not black magic, but there are a lot of subtle optimizations for which there is much conflicting guidance.

In the end my example apps address most of these issues for you. You're on your own with certificates since that varies on your deployment, but everything else is fully set up and ready to go and it protects yourself from blowing a hole in iptables since it only publishes the port to localhost by default, not 0.0.0.0. This would let nginx or another web server access it directly on your Docker host but no one else.

That would be an appropriate guess for anyone who hasn’t paid attention to Adams the past 6 or so years. The poll is confirming his prejudices, that’s why he’s so eager to believe them.

If Adams has been putting on a fake alt-right persona this whole time, I would encourage him to stop the act, otherwise people might start confusing him for a raging racist.

Until then, I’ll believe Adams is who he says he is.
> The Energy Department made its judgment with “low confidence,” according to people who have read the classified report.
> Since there is a strong general correlation between low fertility and low religion

The article isn’t proving that point, and I’d argue other conditions, in particular mortality rates or living conditions in general have more of a widely accepted impact on fertility than religion.

I’d be open to see religion playing a role in this narrative, but IMHO it needs be more than an opinion or a hunch.

I meant by that the decline in population

I'm working on a pretty huge go project with lsp and a ton of bells and whistles and haven't had it noticeably lag on anything. Out of curiosity how big were the files/projects in your case? Did you have some other super heavyweight modes going?
it mostly works super well for me, but sometimes while i’m using magit i manage to get emacs stuck in a weird state where i cant close the minibuffer or enter any commands. mashing c-g or esc in each open split doesnt help, and i end up having to force close.

probably not magit’s fault, and it happens rarely, but it’s one of several problems i cant escape from that give me a sense of dread every time i open emacs.

mostly switched away from emacs as a result
It's a graphical-ish git client for emacs.

It has a lot of very nice overlays to git operations, I tend to use the CLI for most basic operations but the interactive staging/unstaging of magit, as well as its support for rebasing, is absolutely stellar and significantly more convenient than the CLI.

One of the neat bits is, for some operations (e.g. committing, rebasing, ...) if you set emacs as EDITOR and magit has been loaded magit will automatically trigger and take over the buffer instead of leaving you with a basic text buffer.
What kind of stuff are you doing that gets you in a sticky situation, and how are you getting out of it? IME I've generally been able to do most complex things I need with some combination of the stash, rebase, cherry pick/apply and if I've stuffed things up the reflog, all done from within magit.

All that comparison really does is acknowledge that there are countries of vastly different size and wealth. Large companies from a giant nation will be much larger than a tiny country.
