Well this is an issue.

If only 53% of white people thought it was ok to be black, or any other minority, that would be seen as a problem.

I don't see why the answer changes just because roles are reversed. If you want equality, these things go both ways. And if you don't want equality, you're racist, or some other ist.

This isnt a battle with a 'winner' the goal is everyone being equal, black or white. Black people need to be signed up to that too.

All this being said, I haven't listened to the podcast, so I'm not condoning or condemning what was said.
You can't complain about availability of phones (or any electronics) while being in the US. Try living anywhere else like Canada.
The person(s) you're talking too are not talking about epistemology. If something happened yesterday and I am not aware of it until I read the paper today, the thing still happened yesterday. If I never read about it, the thing still happened yesterday.

I agree with your sentiment but think we overestimate how much people value right to repair. This is some proof.
Not so much replacing as swapping for a spare to double life without recharging.
I have not ever studied POSIX academically (curricularly) but:

> a small set of minimalistic APIs that remain stable over time

but from what I've gathered (over years, by 'osmosis'). Isn't this the essential idea behind POSIX?
Thanks, I appreciate.

> it looks like you're quoting a shell string like:

That's not particularly a shell string, but a DEFINE; the rule is to declare them as they are required by the compiler command line of a given platform. I can add a quoted_string() predeclared procedure if it helps.

> have you tried talking with any cmake collaborators ... Something like BUSY as a frontend could be cool.

No, I haven't; the BUSY spec is open source and available if need be, but for one part I would be very surprised if it was used just as is for the mentioned purpose, and on the other part I'm not sure whether it is a decent approach to add yet another layer to cmake (the parser would then likely be written in cmake language and all the legacy would still have to be present for backward compatibility, increasing the confusion we already have).

> It's really frustrating to see most of the top comments calling out that it only looks so pretty because of exposure.

Why? That's actually true.

I've been to many truly dark sky sites. I get out to one at least once a year on average. I've photographed the Milky Way, galaxies, nebulae, you name it. Under dark skies, the milky way is an amazing site. But don't be mistaken: it's still gray in appearance to the naked eye.

Let's look at this in a few different ways:

1) The pupil of the human eye opens to about 7mm (if you're young) under truly dark skies. That is the limiting aperture that determines how many photons strike the retina. The human visual system is optimized to detect motion. The integration time for the image you see in your brain is maybe 1/30th of a second. When I photograph the Milky Way, I use a 14mm f/1.8 lens (that's a 14mm/1.8=7.8mm aperture) with about a 30 second exposure. Those two factors alone put the camera at a (7.8/7)^2 * 30/(1/30) = 1111x higher exposure level. The camera also has ISO levels for further gain.

2) The human eye has two types of receptors: cones and rods. Cones are used for color vision. Rods are used for low light vision. It takes more photons to stimulate a cone than it does a rod. So when you're looking at faint objects, you might not be able to discern their color. The reason people like me seek out dark skies is because the objects we're trying to see are at the limits of detectability and we'll take whatever advantage we can get. Even when viewing through my 4-inch telescope, most objects appear gray. And that's with a (106/7)^2 = 229x light gathering advantage over the naked eye.

3) Have you ever thought about why it's called the Milky Way? It comes from the name given to it by the ancient Greeks. It appeared to them as a streak of milk in the sky (and they didn't have modern light pollution issues). What color is milk?
Really? All of humanity imparting everything they think and know publicly seems incredibly valuable. 100% serious.
I don't see how being "just a compositor" has to do anything to "has to bundle complementing utilities", without mucking the whole thing and turning it into a desktop environment.

Thought I agree that for most people, a desktop environment, "everything integrated, just change this specific thing" instead of "let me just DIY my entire environment from those separated parts" makes more sense.
Screen recording works, even with OBS studio. What popular wayland native app is dependent on xorg?

At which point there was no point of X11 middle-maning between the compositor and apps -> tada Wayland it is.

Also, screen tearing is a bigger issue on bigger resolution higher refresh rate monitors, hardware just grew up to 1080@60fps.
For some reason it couldn't find LAX's full designation, KLAX. Also, just realized SNA, an tiny local airport, has a whopping 5000+ft runway, longer than some major ones like SFO or BOS.

My dad uses a 5yr old iPhone X and it runs perfectly fine with the latest software updates. The baseline CPU (and RAM) quality has improved dramatically since around then where it's not a big deal to upgrade. Or maybe the software has matured enough.

My mom had a 3yr old mid-teir Samsung phone and tablet (combo deals they always sell) they both became unusable when it upgraded to the latest version of Samsung basterdized Android 2 months ago. But I'm sure Pixels are more similar to iPhone.

Sadly most Android come with vendor crippled software. Maybe the >2yr crippling is the goal for them.

“If a user no longer has access to their institution account, they will also no longer have access to SURF's Mastodon pilot environment. This is because we check "at the gate" via SURFconext whether the user is in the target group. Mastodon has excellent "move", import and export functionalities as standard. This is because Mastodon values the autonomy of users and therefore wants them to be able to move easily to another server.

During the pilot, we will investigate whether, in addition to Mastodon's standard functions, technical solutions are possible for scenarios where someone no longer has access to an institution account. Potential research directions include eduID and other solutions that explore lifelong learning. We should also explore with the whole sector the extent to which we want to facilitate or support a sector environment for alumni, guests or partners.”
Images were “bad” because browsers were all text based at the time. Adding images meant having to create a “graphical“ web browser ( wasteful in the minds of some at the time ) and meant not being able to read all web pages with full fidelity with your text based browser of choice ( every single web user at the time ).

This was back in the days when people were using their terminal program in Windows to Telnet into the UNIX server at school / work to browse the web ( in text ) after all.

People using the World Wide Web were probably using things like Veronica and Gopher just as much.

Also, if you are connecting over a modem, images would slow things down.

I do not remember too much resistance though. Mosaic was a revolution ( literally ).

> They are coming in on a work visa, and when they no longer have work, they need to leave.

This is not accurate, and the crux of my post. They need to leave when they no longer are able to find an employer willing to sponsor them for an H1-B and do all the paperwork.

It would be much less of a problem if what you wrote was true, that the work visa meant they could stay as long as they were working.
Stealthy answer
Yes, but POSIX doesn't provide APIs for graphics or audio, for example, even though these things are necessary to build a lot of end-user software.
It shows airport data from OpenStreetMap. It's posted on a site targeted at software developers. Is it that much of a stretch to conclude it's for use by people interested in machine-readable data on airports?
Right, so instead of taking 5 seconds to search youtube for a better copy of this clip which is everywhere, you'll just assume your prejudice is correct? I don't know where you got your date ranges:

I wonder if "interfering with your aura" is just one interpretation of the inflammation and digestive issues that nightshades can cause.

If I was living before medicine was a common practice I'd probably attribute diarrhea and cramps to "psychic auras" as well.
I’m talking about passes which operate on either (a) CodeInfo - a high-level IR which is the data interface for Julia’s abstract interpretation based type inference an (b) IRCode which is what Julia’s optimizer uses. Note: again, I haven’t looked recently —- but this is what I remember from a number of months ago.

When I discussed writing passes, I was referring to interacting with these two phases of the compiler (abstract interpreter and optimization). In practice, these two phases are interlinked.

Shuffling data between these two phases make a lot of assumptions which are mostly opaque to users. Like I said, you can hack it — but it’s hard to learn what you need to know, and there’s not a stable interface or a nice “this is how you write a transformation to operate on this IR” or “this is how you write a custom opt”.

In any case, I’m not totally convinced that it’s a good idea to expose this stuff to user libraries. Or, at least, it needs to be carefully thought about.

See some of the complaints about “magic” in this post for some of that. I’m just fascinated by this stuff for some weird reason.
I still use Qt Creator for my qmake projects until everything is migrated. It doesn't make sense to add qmake support to LeanCreator because Qt Creator is still available on all platforms and continues to support qmake (at least I have no other information). If people port their projects, they actually don't port to LeanCreator, but to the BUSY build system, which in turn can generate qmake projects in case you want/have to use Qt Creator for some tasks.

And British people don't want to make that trade off. It's odd to use our gun laws to say we're oppressed by an undemocratic system when the vast, vast majority of people simply don't want the person standing next to them at the till in Tesco to have a pistol under their coat.
I propose that we refer to this class of behavior as “grooming”.
I'm not condoning Adams nor have I ever heard this phrase used as a dog whistle. I am just pointing out that some polling organization did some work and found what to me was a surprising result.

Dog whistle or not, I am personally surprised by that result. Just as I was surprised by polling that suggested almost 30% of Americans say it might be necessary to take up arms against the government.

Oh, dogs and smells, this makes me remember my poodle who, as every dog, would routinely look for stinky stuff to lay in. Once he found a dead cat -- it was rather nasty to wash him in the bath after that. Another time he was running around and found a rot fish thrown away near a trash tank -- this was the smelliest washing ever. Had to wash him twice with soap, then with shampoo. Another time, in winter, there was parking area covered with hard snow, compacted by car tires. And he laid and started rolling on a seemingly featureless spot. It turned out, some diesel fuel had been spilled there.
This can (obviously) be done to replace any multiplication. The problem is that 2 logs, an add, and an exponentiation are a lot slower than a single multiply.

> A telescope isn't a remote viewing device, it's photons hitting my eyes just the same as if I were standing directly in front of whatever I'm observing.

It is a remote viewing device because we're discussing using it to view remote events. And you're trying to say "just the same" despite that there are obviously some differences so it cannot be just the same. Try "somewhat analogously".

> If I, like the photons, travelled from the source 671 million miles away to Earth at the speed of light, time would not have advanced for me at all. I would be telling you that what you are seeing is happening right this instant. And I would be right!

No, because it took you 1 hour to get here, and if you went back you wouldn't be there at the time you left, so in no way are the events simultaneous.

You're only describing subjective experience - and someone who travelled much more slowly in stasis would have the same subjective experience despite their report of objective simultaneity being even more obviously incorrect.
Revealing that simply referencing the poll's results is enough to get downvoted here.

I think it's a response to the fear that anti-white sentiment is obviously growing, coupled with the understanding that it is socially unacceptable to acknowledge it. This combination causes a lot of anxiety in people, and they'd like it to go away. Hence, anything that awakens these fears will be downvoted as quickly as possible to avoid dealing with the cognitive dissonance and general anxiety.
From a pedestrian perspective? Yea. I could totally see that being useful for a lot of large airports.

But yes, his comments do seem very concerning to me.
I don't believe the classical picture of black holes interiors is all true in terms of quantum mechanics but it doesn't matter because I'm sure that they look the same on the outside. Specifically, what goes into a black hole stays inside the black hole, with the exception that it gets turned into Hawking radiation over a very long time which for stellar or supermassive black holes is like waiting for protons to decay but longer.

It makes me think though of many sci-fi novels of the 1970s and 1980s where aliens made various attempts to change the evolution of the universe by messing around with black holes such as The Second Experiment by J.O. Jeppson and the Heechee books by Fred Pohl not to mention Firebird by Charles L. Harness.

I think people back then felt strongly about the possibility of the universe being open or closed but the scientific consensus became that it was open in the 1980s, around the time that inflation became fashionable. (Even though from the viewpoint of quantum gravity there is reason to think the state space of the universe is finite and that after some unfathomable time, much longer than the time for black holes to evaporate, somehow it will come back to this moment.)
I wouldn't necessarily say it is. It's an automated visualization of machine-readable data on airports. If you were processing this data, you'd want a visualization like this.
That's an exceptionally short runway. SFO and BOS certainly have longer runways than that.

I have owned a fairphone 3, and honestly it was a let down - very expensive to buy and also expensive to repair (the replacement mainboard cost more than a newer better phone). Perhaps this was because of the sustainable sourcing they used but the upshot was that it became ewaste just as quickly as any other phone. This one should at least be cheap to repair!
Small to medium Android phone manufacturers need to team up and support a single ROM instead of maintaining individual flavors like this which only last for a few years.
Does that compete much against a $150-ish phone with 3 years of software support and super cheap, user replacable parts? I think it's making excuses that the iPhone isn't just a giant burning money pit for customers. Why are folks in a completely different market segment comparing the two?
The traders quoted in the article note that it's common for the shoes to get repeatedly shipped around, half of what they buy is not good enough for resale, and I'm sure a large portion of the shoes don't sell and get junked anyway.

But where is the lie? Dow says they are making tracks and playgrounds out of shoes. The article grants this is true. But for some reason the article tries to spin the fact that they are also recycling them whole as some scandal.

> U.S. petrochemicals giant Dow Inc and the Singapore government said they were transforming old sneakers into playgrounds and running tracks. Reuters put that promise to the test by planting hidden trackers inside 11 pairs of donated shoes. Most got exported instead.

The journalist spent lots of time and energy tracking these shoes. It appears they went in looking for controversy and are trying to squeeze some out of their benign findings.
IIRC due to the degrading/faulty(?) batteries they had to choose between random shutdowns and slowing down the phone. I'm not sure I agree with the way they handled this but I don't think they did that because of "corporate greed".
