Why do none of the good phone options get sold in the US??!? E.g. Sony has one of the few modern smartphones in a reasonable size (xperia 10II (might be the dumbest name though)), and way too few of the bands work in the American market.
That said, lack of serotonin in the gut also created thiamine deficiencies which leads to decreased serotonin uptake.
No passcode is possible. I have it configured that way for a device I have mounted on the wall at home. But apple makes it difficult to do so, as in a lot of extra steps, warnings and reminders, not just initially but every single update too. They've made it inconvenient intentionally, which is good.

At seven hundred freaking degrees, fluorine starts to dissociate into monoatomic radicals, thereby losing its gentle and forgiving nature.

Referring to fluorine’s “gentle and forgiving nature” got a good laugh out of my wife, who has a chemistry degree. It also got me a good education about just how gross elemental fluorine is.

Even if cost is not a concern, it's amazing not to maintain a CMS and harden it against attackers. You just put the files there and forget about them.

> 2 or 3 years of updates are a joke, Apple does up to 8.

Saying an iPhone can handle 8 generations of iOS updates is a bigger joke. I’m a cheapskate that somehow uses Apple phones, and I’ll let you know after 2-3 major OS updates the performance is always severely diminished.
But were you actually purchasing 2-4 drinks per person per day before getting this setup? If not, this doesn't pay for itself as quickly as you'd think.
> Interesting article. Having the built in Redis via ETS is slick.

This isn't really true. Although having a built in redis may be possible, the fact is that production elixir projects do use redis on a lot of cases (for example as a task queue). ETS is rarely used because of its complexity.
You can use `managed = False` and `db_table` to have another model pointing to the same table. `managed = False` will stop Django automatically creating schema migrations.

eg.

```

class ReadOnlyUser(models.Model):

email = models.CharField(max_length=255)

class Meta:
db_table = "users"
managed = False

```

(Disclaimer upfront: I am not a doctor or medical professional.)

Kombucha often contains some alcohol. I'd suggest being cautious about alcohol consumption - frankly, eliminating it altogether from your diet would be my personal suggestion; there is evidence of increased risk of colon cancer from alcohol.

Just grabbing the first thing I found: "Moderate to heavy alcohol consumption is associated with 1.2- to 1.5-fold increased risks of cancers of the colon and rectum compared with no alcohol consumption".
From here: https://www.cancer.gov/about-cancer/causes-prevention/risk/a...

They give several references there to back up that statement, those could be worth reading.

Best wishes for your recovery and health and longterm success.

Edit: wow, i'm getting downvoted? if i'm saying something inaccurate or inappropriate here, i'd be grateful for some specific feedback. thanks.
User-scripts is what you're looking for, commonly use to customize your browsing experience with small JS scripts. Can be run with for example TamperMonkey. Writing a script that blacks out or filters comments with a mention of Apple would be trivial ("if .comment's innerText contains Apple, $element.remove()" in short)
The positive (and there's plenty of criticism; search and read) point being made about iphone is that it has a longer support duration. This seems highly complementary to repairability -- both seem important to maximize useful life -- and thus an entirely fair point, no?

I'm recently on my 4th Android smartphone in 12 years (Galaxy S, Moto G, Pixel 2, Pixel 7) and would be still on the Pixel 2 if not for lack of updates, as it's still completely fine hardware wise. I guess if I had been an Apple fanboi, I would've had at least 1 fewer phones in that time period. Really made me think this last time. Hoping my eventual 5th smartphone will have very long support and very good repariability.
What are the ramifications of apples “end-user hostile decisions” aside from the walled garden on iOS? And having to click security -> run anyway for unsigned apps?
No, I never found anything satisfactory. I ended up using SOLIDWORKS with some 3D sketch lines and reflection constraints to approximate it.
Yes thats true. I think Microsoft is in a special position though because the have the dominate share in the business market. I'm not too interested in focusing on the "Other the bad apples to" as it distracts from the actual problem: "Dark Patterns" and our allowing of them as a society. I take the approach that external manifestations come from our inner states of being from every human on the planet. We allow these things to happen because of where we are at as humans in society, at this current state of our evolution. Maybe it will change someday, maybe not.

This one is on you bro.
It sounds like you are thinking of software engineering, which is an adjacent field often conflated. CS is about pushing current boundaries and inventing the future.
“I can’t see it” == “I don't know whether it happened or not”
Make perfect sense. Thank you
Why does it have to be a "major player"? :) Going the way of Scala, Clojure, etc is fine. If you have a community where people are innovating and/or enjoying the journey, companies feel productive but invest and understand the pros and cons of the ecosystem, then to me it is all good.

They estimate there are more than 20 million developers worldwide and, if a technology can reach 1% of that, I personally find that amazing (in the "super made it" kind of way).

I am not saying this in a self-congratulatory way (especially cause we haven't reached it) but just generally. Anyone who worked on any sort of moderately used open source project has likely have gone through several rounds of "who is using it? anyone big?" and I wish people can appreciate the small victories rather than aiming to the highest of goals, which most projects will realistically (and understandably) not reach.

If you or your company needs to reassure the accountant, then those languages are not for you, and there is nothing wrong with that. Other than that, your perspective of companies hiring for Elixir is drastically different than mine. :)
This project is very similar to django components https://pypi.org/project/django-components/
Microsoft is well known to not take security serious at all. Some years ago people was able to contact Skype business support and change the password of accounts as long as they could tell them some of the contacts and the email of the account. Absolutely insanely irresponsible.
Doing the exact opposite might help — probiotics feed harmful bacteria as well and a different strategy would be to simply try to keep your microbiome as basic and unintrusive as possible, allowing the gut to calm and heal.

It’s easier said than done; recommend looking into natural antibiotics (eg cooked white button mushrooms), indigestible fibre to ensure regular movements, which more than anything lowers endotoxin load (raw carrot salad), carbs from sugars instead of starch, which get absorbed more quickly and won’t be very “prebiotic” (eg ripe oranges, honey) and nutrient dense foods to meet metrics (organ meats and cheeses).
May I suggest adding PROLOG to that list? Or Erlang, for yet another different take on programming.
I mean yea, that's the real question. Not where AI is now, but where it will be a decade or two from now. Talk about AI not currently being dangerous is just ignoring the point AI safety people are making.
I personally would love a map telling me which parts of which airports are most connected airside, and average moving times between different regions of the airport.

Not yet at all anticheet just working but you may be surprised. Where Wine works it can even give higher framerates; rarly lower. Whilst I am sure some accessories are better in windows; an old gameport Sidewinder (ms hardware) works better in Linux.
I had schizophrenia and still have, but it's now not as prevalent after years of eating mostly vegetable, raw, and very ripe, fermented sometimes (like when peppers, onions, garlic for example are getting soft, people usually call them "rotten", but I prefer them like this actually, there can even be some bacteria formation on it, it doesn't matter). That with regular walking/running outdoor helped me so much. A typical daily meal: Red/orange peppers, onions of all kind, spinach, mushrooms, tomatoes in a bucket, rince, add lemoon juice on top, and eat slowly, masticating properly, doing nothing else, fruits as well before or after clementines, grapes, figs, persimmons, dates, walnuts, amonds (depending on the season). (I'm not vegan but I rarely eat other things as I'm full with this, I started this because it was a cheap way to eat)
I don’t understand. Doesn’t your balance equal the sum of your transactions on your statement? I understand there is no outgoing transaction, but unless some “money in” lines were removed then how does it add up?
The mindset at HTML creation revolved around representation of things like scientific articles, whitepapers, manuals, textbooks.

Why images are considered bad? Their absence seems really hurts expressiveness of at least some articles.
Thanks! FWIW, structure.sql is not needed in Ecto either. You must do that when:

1. You want to start discarding migrations (because you have too many)
2. You had an existing database

Are those never a "trigger" on Django side? I appreciate the opportunity to learn!
Artificial food coloring definitely messes kids up. I haven't seen it explained precisely but it definitely seems to mess up something physiologically.
Yes, actually; the X server was awful, but it was a single contained point of awfulness that allowed everything else to be trivially interoperable. Breaking that apart could have been good except that the way they actually did it mixed far too many concerns into the graphical server (compositor), so while we have more of them, in practice you can't actually mix and match the rest of the system anymore.
Just wanted to say thank you for all the great work you've been doing. I'm a recent Elixir/Phoenix convert coming from a couple of years of full time Django and it makes me so happy to see you being interested in the way Django handles models. Imo it's one of the last things I'm struggling leaving behind (together with its tight integration of the Django admin, which you get for free).

I haven't looked close into Ash but to me it seems their approach is interesting and offers a solution, not the way Django does it but it is a solution, although a bit hard to wrap your head around at first. Django models are more simple and straightforward.
Nginx already has Javascript [1] which amused me when I found out a year or two back.

I did similar with a galaxy S4 (third party battery w/special back case to accommodate the larger size). Worked nice but eventually the battery bulged.

The tradeoff with replaceable batteries is if when you swap the phone loses track of time until finding a cell tower. Fine if in range but a risk when hiking far away, and might also propagate the wrong time to your smartwatch.
Surprised to see this on the front page! I also posted this on r/chess where someone pointed out that Fischer played against Greenblatt in the 70s. I digged a little deeper and found out that Greenblatt chess program was also known as Mac Hack (https://www.chessprogramming.org/Mac_Hack).

Fischer did play against Greenblatt in 1978. Tracy Miller and Robert Hyatt talk about this in a 1999 chess forum called rec.games.chess.computer (https://groups.google.com/g/rec.games.chess.computer/c/W5CUj...):

Miller writes:

> Here is the game I have. At the time, Greenblatt was state of the art in chess computers, probably playing around expert strength. Bobby makes quick work of it.

To which Hyatt responds with:

> Actually, mack hack was a 1500-level player. The first 'expert' program didn't show up until the late 1970's in the body of chess 4.x from Northwestern. Mack Hack dates to the late 60's and was highly selective. I used to have the source code for this thing many years ago (pdp 10 assembly language). It could search roughly 5 plies deep in tournament time controls, and typically searched 15 moves at ply=1/2, 9 moves at ply=3/4 and 7 at ply=5. Seems very selective, but the computers back then were very slow also.

Here is the analysis of this game: https://lichess.org/study/QbZWFPLL/hrNBwilW
Honestly it would be a huge selling point for this device if it had excellent custom ROM support on top of the repairability. There are phones from 2015 still being supported today by Lineage.
Why don't they put non-reusable shoes back to recycle though?
But why should the device life be limited by the battery?

This thread is discussing a phone with replaceable battery. For at least 5 years.
Almost all of the camera lenses have moving parts, for focusing and possibly zooming. Is there any way to reproduce that movement in this tool?

So is the thesis here that there is no other way to have non-crap sound on a laptop than this Apple patent? No alternative? No patent-non-infringing approach?

Because if not, the real reason is as the author suggests: other manufacturers don't bother.

I have been working a long time - decades - in a part of the industry that is not just patent happy but patent berserk and it has never been my experience that other approaches are not available when a single approach is patent-walled off.
> If you watch your friend do X right in front of you, would you argue it happened yesterday?

If that friend was 671 million miles away, I was say it happened yesterday. If it was a much smaller distance, I can intervene in the event because the relative effects do not prevent me from interacting.

> They're both valid interpretations.

That's true if you want to accept interpretation without restraint. I prefer consistent interpretations that are compatible with known physics. YMMV
Well, then it's wrong.

> After decades of consolidation, the industry suffers from a paucity of competition and lacks the kind of “surge capacity” needed to wage major industrial wars.

During WW2 Kodak and IBM among others were making rifles. The "surge capacity" comes from a healthy manufacturing economy, which China has and the USA no longer does.
I didn't start programming until I was in college and did just fine in my undergrad CS at UW Madison.
If they are being treated fairly then that's one thing. Implying that if someone knew they are going to be treated unfairly then it is OK to treat them unfairly is another thing. Implying that some people of a particular race has done something bad, so it is OK to punish every person of that race, is well, racist.
Are parents disputes decided by a jury in the US? I know we have a different system in Germany and don't have juries to begin with, but patent disputes are generally handled by specific courts here and, given how specific and technical these cases can be, I wouldn't trust twelve random people to decide them.
HDR no (although it's progressing). 4K Ultra, gsync and 144Hz on a AAA game, yes. Anti-cheat is going to continue being a problem so long as Microsoft allows these kernel level things and devs keep doing it.
I run the email marketing systems for a publicly traded company. This is my area of expertise.

Contrary to popular belief and pervasive reporting, there is little-to-no second hand market for email addresses. Frankly, random email addresses are not particularly valuable. (Targeted lists of individuals, on the other hand, are very valuable and a different story.)

I can almost guarantee you one of two things happened:

- This company is a "legitimate partner" of Uber and has signed a data sharing agreement to handle some amount of market research/etc. Epiphany RBC is based in the Netherlands, so if this email is legitimately from them, they are required to have a chain of custody on your email address as part of GDPR. You can reach out to them directly and see where they got it.

- Your email address was randomly guessed by a spam bot that is looking for particular keywords. The vast majority of spam is sent this way - again, email addresses are not particularly valuable and a random address generator will eventually find it.
So yet another argument for proper, balanced audio recordings and working noise gates.
I'm not equating anything. I am simply saying that the logic you're employing was also employed in Korematsu.
A thought occurred to me when I read this bit. Two thoughts, actually. But they're related.

We’ve also shared this class beyond MIT in the hopes that others may benefit from these resources.

Thought one: they should make this an official OCW thing

Thought two: OCW class resources should be a two way street, like open source development, not just a "throw it over the wall" model.

Not that I'm criticizing MIT for making any content freely available, mind you. Any free, high quality, educational content makes the world an overall better place IMO. No, it's just that I saw this bit:

Editors (Vim)

and couldn't help but think "Great, but what about Emacs?" Which got me thinking something like "Well, why couldn't I, or somebody else (preferably somebody actually qualified) create a corresponding 'Editors (Emacs)' section and contribute it back?"

I dunno, maybe it's a nutty idea. And certainly for the stuff that is released by OCW under corresponding open licenses, I suppose one could "fork" the class somewhere else and run it on a model where outside contributions are accepted. Anyway, this just got me thinking about this concept.

EDIT: never mind, I actually just noticed that this particular course actually is on Github[1], and they do accept pull requests! Very cool.

Would still be cool to see that approach become even more widespread for OCW courses (both from MIT and elsewhere).

Can't argue with "few people care", but I'm just not sure what "new features" or other nonsense you'd be getting.

I think much of the new phone-buying, Apple fanboys aside, is that carriers make it easy to constantly upgrade with "$0" upgrade plans (where you basically end up paying the full cost of the phone anyway.) Legislation to ban or shape this kind of advertising could be beneficial to reduce e-waste.
How exactly does one permanently damage dopamine receptors? If you have any literature I would be happy to read it, as someone in the field this isn't something I've heard of before.
We have enough housing for the number of people we have.

What we have is a complete lack of top-down management to allocate it efficiently.

If we combined Soviet economics and modern Big Data, we could solve this easily-- mandate that economic engines are sited where housing gluts exist, and assign out housing to optimize things like average commute length.
Right below the author's comment, "Regardless of a grid’s size, the current flowing through it oscillates in perfect synchrony, at exactly the same frequency, throughout the whole grid," he presents a map of Western Europe's regional groups. I notice that Finland, Sweden, Norway, and Iceland comprise the Nordic Regional Group.

Iceland? There is a lot of water between Iceland and the other three nations in its group. Is Iceland's power indeed synchronized with the other three? If so, why does it need to be?

Below the map, the author includes a link crediting the Wikipedia article on power grids[0], which includes maps of other regions in the world.

Perusing the map for North America, I notice another noncontiguous regional group, namely the Alaska group. Most of Alaska is off the grid (or, more accurately, on a collection of local grids too small to be named). The named group includes a slice of the interior extending northward from Anchorage towards Fairbanks and a separate noncontiguous area containing Juneau. I have the same question, are the two sub-regions synchronized?

So just to be clear: you want to discuss a smartphone, in a vacuum, completely ignoring what - barring a few select Android phones - effectively sets the bar for the industry.

It’s not “fanbois”, it’s just reality. HN isn’t the one that needs to get a grip here.
ok. so normally we would put these on the heap and garbage collect them. instead, we're going to run on a stack, which remove the gc overhead, but couples our ability to reclaim frames to the control flow.

I skimmed the article, but I didn't understand the goal here. clearly that would work better for _some_ workloads
Reduce would mean you buy less. Reuse would mean you buy less or buy from other people. Only recycle means you buy the same amount as before. Guess which one companies prefer you do?
My guess is it would. But the point isn't whether it should be $100, my point is we should use evidence to tell us what we're trading for what. If it's $100 minimum and great depression, I want to know that. If it's $100 and unemployment grows by 2%, I want to know that.

If we don't use evidence we choose blindly.
This gave me flashbacks I was happy to forget about. Microsoft's SSO is nuts, at least with the browsers I used at the time. Might work better with Edge.
My argument is that key claims of the paper are factually incorrect. For example, there was no "confession" by Karplus and Kroll. (At least, none is cited as far as I see - please let me know if I am missing something.)
To be clear, I was responding to the commenter's general point and not regarding this specific class or its contents.
Interesting, do you think Lamport doesn't think of himself also as a mathematician?
How about Knuth?
Being connected to the internet is nothing like being a car on a road... it's more like joining a "crowd" of "people", with each "person" being another internet-connected computer, and the "crowd" being the network. The recent "pandemic" has taught everyone a lot about virus-spread stuff, so it's an appropriate analogy in my opinion.

Vulnerable pieces of software can be exploited to receive or transmit viruses. The viruses spread through the crowd to anyone who is vulnerable. But just because someone spread the virus doesn't mean an authority is going to crack down on them for being intentionally reckless. If you crash into somebody on the road however...
