Hey thanks so much for sharing your experience. How am I faring? I’m faring OK. Since leaving my job I’ve drastically changed my environment, moving from a rural cottage to a bigger city with more going on, tech and otherwise. I’ve identified some volunteer opportunities I’m interested in but haven’t taken any steps to capture them beyond creating online accounts to see upcoming events. I’ve setup my environment to enable creative endeavors like writing, weight lifting, and playing some instruments, but similarly haven’t taken the steps of actually utilizing these spaces.

As is probably apparent, I’ve been dealing with depression for years. Despite the description, things are better lately but I’m still having a hard time finding an identity beyond what was wrapped up in work over the last decade.

Anyway, probably more than you asked for! I’ve always had a passion for 3d and gaming, and I feel like there’s some opportunity out there related to this that’d be perfect for me, but I can’t get around the exploitative nature of the industry. I’d make my own but wrestle with what I mentioned above: I just can’t find any ideas that I’m excited enough to work on.

It only gets a passing mention in the article, but this same method of compromise also exists on Android phones with GMS. Your Google Account's password can be reset with nothing but your phone's passcode. The only way to prevent this is to enable Advanced Protection on your Google Account.
I cannot parse those 2 sentences at all. I'm not sure if it's trying to say something really clever and I'm not smart enough to get it or if it's BS pretending to be smart.

I wonder what a learning model with the ability to test feedback from executing its code in an interpreter would look like? I know there are different groups testing things like integrating the ability for LLMs to use tools, wondering how this will pan out in the end.
I read article a while ago that can’t find about how people’s emotional connection to stuff influences getting rid of things. People want to have things disposed of properly. This is especially true for things with close connection like clothes, shoes, or furniture. Their shoes meant something and should be treated with dignity and as described. But to recipient, they are used shoes.

It’s an extensively researched meteorite that is just full of organic molecules.
Why not? A phone that has no updates, functional or security still can do a lot of things very well.
I never had a problem with a Note 4.

The way you could buy cases that replaced the back cover meant for a much thinner profile phone than the typical metal case wrapped in silicone.

Replaceable batteries are glorious. I never plugged-in my phone, just flipped the battery with one from the charger when I left the house. Instant 100% battery. Travelling? Just take a few charged batteries at a fraction of the weight of a power-bank and much more convenient.
In Frankfurt at least I see the ILS critical areas tagged with "holding_position:type: ILS". For instance south of arrival end 25C. Looking at aerial imagery these do correctly align with the ILS and hold-short markings.

Edit: it does appear that hold lines are mis-tagged in some spots, e.g. north of arrival end 25C.
My decades of experience with easily removable back covers tells me this is a complete non-issue.

The back cover coming off accidentally has never happened to me.
It's a good practice to a) split commits into logically atomic changes, and b) revert a change the moment it's understood that it introduces a regression.

GNOME developers don't follow these good practices. This is a fact.

I have been running Graphene for years and find that few proprietary apps really need GAPS. I get a warning that it is required when they try to serve an ad, but I just dismiss it and enjoy the ad free experience. Graphene has great shims and even a sandboxed Google Play Services for those who want a lot of notifications. I don't use it myself, but my partner does.
I have read only half of the paper and I feel like the author is holding a grudge or something.

But, in general, I wonder why old papers (that are basically a foundation to other theories) are not critically re-reviewed to see if they still hold to scrutiny today? Hmm.
Of course! the acoustics in a concert hall are very different then speakers.

But I bet you that you wouldn't be able to tell the difference between actual instrumentation and high quality speakers and subs if they were BOTH in a concert hall.
> I carry a knife, and often a gun with me while out and about. The UK is good with either of those things?

Yes, that's entirely legal in the UK.

I can cross the road anywhere I like, without waiting for a light. The US is good with that? Oh wait, no, you can be thrown in jail for "jaywalking".
It's quite odd to me how we "hand wave" individual rights using the term "democratic" as if there is something intrinsic and unquestionable about it. LIke, sure 60% voted "democratically" for a decision to go one way. But what about the other 40%?
What do you think about fairphone 4?
According to web, it supports:

Ubuntu Touch
Not sure I’m understanding this. The post mentions that pre-registering was very helpful for the precise reason that it prevents researchers from altering their statistical criteria in order to suit their desired conclusions.

Only forced obsoleting by the company. No other reasons exist.

I and tens of millions other people used removable back cover phones for years before the sealed phone became the norm.

Edit: Can anyone explain why they think that this is wrong? I am genuinely interested.

I really used user-removable battery phones for close to a decade. I found no issues.

Why would they stay in the water rather than evolve lungs?
The problem isn’t that it’s held together by individual scripts and apps that one can replace or hack at. The problem is that none of these pieces ship in place.

Ideally you’d have some sort of offering that gives you a reasonable starting place with all these composable pieces in place, and then you can hack/replace/add/remove as needed.

Everyone starting from scratch doesn’t make sense. It’s like shipping a Unix system with no app doing it’s own paging because the devs rightly expect you to use some other tool to page output for you, but there’s no less/more installed (and no back buffer in the terminal or terminal emulator to boot). Then you complain and the answer is that you’re supposed to write your own (or research, download, compile, and install something someone else might have hacked up).
This doesn't work perfectly well if you are on multiple calls at the same time.

Desktop Teams allows you to join multiple calls at once, and switch between them is easy.

Web browser teams disconnects you from one meeting to join another. The only solution is to open multiple browser profiles, each for different call, and then manage the 'mute tab' manually. Additionally, web browser edition has something to detect if tab is active, and will downscale / delay video stream if tab is not active. This is extremely annoying when you have meeting active on one monitor, and want to double check what is being discussed on another.

Saying all this, web browser teams at least works. Desktop one stops working because as the whole discussion here points out, accounts get mixed up. I can't join team meetings anonymously because desktop edition thinks I have an account, but when I try to login it tells me my account doesn't have Teams enabled.
>I can't tell if you're being sarcastic or not.

My local bank requires 9 or above

>Also... even if the app stops working, you can use a web browser still.

It's not uncommon at all for banks to have a website that's virtually impossible to use on mobile browsers.
Interesting how that phrase has largely disappeared from the current green message carried by major media. Especially the reduce component.
> How does it work?

KDE framework has KIO library which provides network-transparent file access (that's why Konqueror works a file manager and a browser simultaneously). IIRC the author of KDE Connect was tinkering over sending notifications to a phone app and found out you can make much more with it.

> How is the connection between devices set up?

The server part uses 1716/UDP for broadcasting it's presence and 1716-1764/TCP to communicate with clients. The client had to be paired with server (like in Bluetooth), the communication is done via TLS, file browsing works over SFTP.

> How does it control apps and receive notifications?

Everything is done via plugins, both sides choose which ones are enabled and some have their own control schemes (i.e. whitelist of apps to sync notifications from phone).
It's best to talk about it as if it's happening now. It is happening now from our perspective, and if we were to refer to it in past tense talking about its near future (in our past but in the object's future) would tie us up in grammatical knots instead of just being able to use future tense.
Apparently, they use Wikidata, where this was listed as the official website. I fixed it on Wikidata and it appeared fixed on the website immediately as well, so they apparently fetch the data online, no prior download nor caching?
Given androids market share vs iphone... the majority are indeed taking a phone with no updates over a slower phone.

As long as the apps they use work ok I'm not sure the majority cares about updates security or otherwise.
I have two displays on my computer, one is 4k and the other is 1080p. One has HDR. One is 400 nits brightness, the other is not. Games are built across several engines with an amazing collection of rendering technologies. We have apps that embedded web browsers.

I'm sure if you restricted yourself to strictly first party native applications and a single display within one or two resolutions and no DPI scaling, Wayland probably meets most of your needs now.
Primarily because the CAD app I use (Rhino3D) doesn't have a native Linux version ('tho it supposedly runs on WINE), and the CAM software doesn't seem to have anyone running it on Linux.

Plus, at the outset of another startup, we decided to go Open-Source everything, and tried to setup a real-time version of Linux and the CNC control software. All of it supposedly up and running with only a few dozen steps to setup in the people supposedly running it. Despite decades in networking and a bit of Linux experience, I quickly got swamped in the massive undocumented bugs in setup/config/complile, and brought in a guy who had a full-time Linux shop, and who I knew from working with him previously that he was very good. He thought 'it's a new version, but no problem'. A month later, we still had nothing running and the investor/partner pulled the plug. So the swamp of poorly-documented / undocumented / mis-documented hiccoughs literally killed that startup — death by 1000 cuts.

Sure, it is probably better now, 15 years later. But so is this environment, UNLESS they tie it to another online acct.

So, basically, I'm pretty much now in the business of slinging atoms instead of bits, and the overhead is no fun, and just not worth it (yet). Plus, the overhead of working around the MS carp turned out to be pretty small. Just disable the Wireless at the right time in the W11Pro install (I think it is worse in teh Home version).
Let me reiterate that the only evidence you've provided is wishful thinking.
Yep! I mean honestly, a rather nice "perk" of working with a company could be a private office, almost like an extension of your home... but within reason. They have the building anyways.

Similar to how professors at university usually have such an office.

With how much remote work has taken off and how much companies want to bring at least some people, this is certainly a perk that I would consider.
No they haven't. They decided they don't want ranked choice voting (known in the UK as the 'alternative vote'). Proportional representation is a different system, which the minority Liberal Democrat party and others had long argued for and quite a lot of people regarded the substitution as a form of bait-and-switch. Additionally some had reservations about the scheduling of the referendum to overlap with local elections in parts of the UK.

We're trying to implement exactly this. I assign the MIT missing semester materials in my sophomore systems programming course, and we do all of our assignments using a CLI, C, GCC, and Git. Prior to my course, the students know only Java and IDE programming.

One problem we have is that the prereq chain for our courses is very long, so adding another course as a pre-req to all others lengthens that chain.

The MIT course offers probably too much info for our purposes, or at least info students don't need preloaded. Just basic CLI and basic Git clone/fork/pull/push are enough for up to probably Junior year. The problem is that the intro courses are so sanitized that students aren't even getting basic CLI until Sophomore year, which means by the time they graduate, they're behind where they should be imo.
Great article. Something in me finds satisfaction when I recognised something I learned about at uni applied in the real world.

Now on to building an ENF spoofing machine that people can carry around with them to confuse eavesdroppers.
I'm in awe at the level of pretzel logic on display here. The rich are famously supportive of higher corporate tax rates because it helps them entrench their moat?
I had such a permit for the T in Boston. No audition, but the application asked us to list recordings or other experience. They asked me again when I showed up in the office to get my picture taken.

There are some fantastic musicians who are busking, especially string instruments - classical guitar, violin, and for many years there was an elderly Chinese guy playing the erhu at the Park Street station or above ground at Harvard Square.
These days I have a hard time telling the difference between either, because no one in a democracy will ever vote for crazy policies like having surveillance cameras pointing at themselves or having increasing harsher laws on freedoms both online and offline.

If so many important things are not up for the vote, is it really a democracy?
No. If you are s 14 years who is into hobbits and you are writing a fan fiction, your mom is a venture capitalist when feeds you and gives you pocket money which you used to buy a domain. She can be a venture capitalist or angel investor depending on her expectations. I guess it also can be a case of racketeering if she does that you just shut up, then you are the VC investing in your own stuff with the money you extorted by being a really annoying kid :)

Anyway, it doesn't matter. The gist is, someone else than the user paid for the experience without immediate expectation for profit from side channels and that's how we had free and awesome things.
> He made money from inheritance

Do you have sources for this? From what I've read, he took over his family's moderately successful wine business and made it a multimillion dollar enterprise. Then he made his own very successful media firm. He clearly understands marketing and investing, and while he certainly gives off investbro vibes, he does actually know a thing or two. Dismissing him outright as a charlatan is a mistake.
Crazy, thanks for sharing! What a weird approach on their part, i wonder if they were having problems with multiple bids from fake names or something.
From memory, and this may have changed in the last 10 years, Indonesia doesn’t really do “rubbish dumps”. They sweep everything in the street, including rubbish from peoples homes into small piles and burn it there and then. Might be different in Jakarta but this is what I saw everywhere else. The smoke and smell of burnt plastic was everywhere. I only spent a month there but I got around a lot and on more then one occasion witnessed Malaysian tourists asking Indonesian locals why there was rubbish everywhere. No bins hey. The national parks were (still are?) especially bad. Anyway, Indonesia is probably not the best final destination for any sort of waste.

IMO, Indonesia is not the problem, its really the farce of plastic recycling.
exactly. we are speedrunning 200,000 years of intelligent life evolution here.
You have high standards for a more simple and cheap product.
So quickly the masses are eager to vote away their freedoms.
This is the problem with making a wholesale rewrite and not including good (and complete!) backwards compatibility for the duration of the transition.
The number of times that I've watched the bloom encroaching over the top of it and then carefully prodding it to release some gas so it can drop down again. I need to be more patient, I think.
I guess what they meant is that third-party apps are much stricter on iOS (at least partly because Apple updates faster and for longer, probably). I was on Android 8 (2017) until recently without any issues, whereas iOS apps only seem to support 1-2 versions back generally. Plus the Safari rendering engine doesn't update independently so you can't fall back to the web.
Needs a timeframe and context. Back in the, say, 1990s or maybe even early 2000s, when the modern world was just forming and the only languages students would work in were C and C++, maybe with some Bash and Perl on the side, 25k lines is a reasonable estimate for a brand new symbolic engine- a thing that in imperative languages didn't exist- with some element of typical PhD edge case over-engineering.

25k lines in fact could be considered small for that sort of C++ engine.

But it would have been reasonable at the time to explore the type system around such a thing and produce a PhD (or a couple of PhDs) from it over a period of a few years.

Of course even at that time there was prior art in the Lisp world, but after the AI winter 1980s no students were going to work in Lisp. C++ was where the jobs were going to be.
I mean for a short while I was actually dreading that one day my Word would auto update and I'd be greeted by Clippy again - Microsoft's initial press statements while the ChatGPT hype was at its peak did sound a bit as if they were scrambling to stuff ChatGPT in as many products as possible before any competitor could make a move.

But I think by now, Bing aka Sydney has made a very convincing case to Microsoft that this would be a very bad idea.
Interesting decision about which one is the orange in this analogy :)
I recently joined a meeting where the organizer was setting the timer for us to go through different section of a notion page, including external references. In the end i suggested to do the rest of the process (a few more notion pages) offline next time. So yeah, a big chunk of meetings is a total waste of time.
Not to dismiss, but I have a pixel 3, still snappy, android 12. It was released 1 year after iphone 8 if I'm not mistaken, but still, it's about ~5 years from today
It’s also a massive security risk.
The thing I find most suspicious/fishy/smelly about the current article is that Charley is a cracking good writer who has just found that a machine might be able to take his job.
Now, of course, AI is all a giant scam. It's been steadily progressing in a way that connected people could see since GPT-2[0]. But only now, with the clouds on the horizon is it clearly and obviously some conspiracy.

> The donated shoes that ended up in Indonesia have added to a flood of illegal second-hand clothing pouring into that developing country, according to a senior government official there, who said such cast-offs pose a public health risk, undercut its local textile industry and often pile more waste into its already bulging landfills.

Do they even understand the words coming out on the page? I'm sorry but if people can't afford to clothe themselves then fuck the "local textile industry," aka forcing people to spend money on clothes they probably cannot afford. Wearing shoes should be a human right (God knows there's probably enough shoes for everyone on Earth) and saying we should stop sending second-hand clothes to places for the purposes of job creation is just breaking windows to make jobs for window repairmen.
I wasn't talking about the modern ones, naturally they still aren't old enough to suffer from that.

As you tell yourself, the iPhone 8 isn't its former self with its original iOS version.
Yep, I will 100% admit they "look better" but I'm convinced productivity is not the same. I'm all for having "collaborative" spaces but surely the optimal environment is one where employees can get hours of work in without distraction. With an open office, the opportunity for distraction is practically everywhere.
That's because the iPhone 10 is still being supported so you likely have the latest iOS version
Your whole post is absurdly apologetic. Stealing $10K from the customers is plain criminal. It does take "extreme diligence" not to do so.
Smart microscopes spot fleeting biology
Ugly notch and no Linux... Not sure what the appeal is? I believe HMD sales tanked right after they introduced the notch (they aren't Apple to get away with it) and this phone seems like a way to clear out unwanted displays via "repairability fans".
Well, they didn't know they had trackers in them. I reckon I wouldn't be mad at Goodwill if I bought shoes there and they had trackers in them.

The trackers are only there because Reuters was running a sting.

Safety, like security, is best when layered. This bill appears to be absolute garbage, but as a parent doing my best to balance my kids' online autonomy and safety, I want the online analogue of reasonably safe roads and cars for them.
