And they hated him because he spoke the truth. Phones being disposable is something we just accepted. A POTS phone bought in the 1890’s would work without modification until the 1990’s and still will work today with an adapter. Why? Because we didn’t have continuous protocol churn. If it was invented today in 2 years there would POTS/2, KETTLE, and a draft spec for POTS2.1 written on a used napkin but somehow already in production at Google.

Our stuff turns to trash because everything is built on shifting sand with no thoughts given to supporting it long term and for some reason we like it this way.

Do y’all not long for a future where you can get off the upgrade treadmill because the developer facing API is fixed? Not backwards compatible because that implies you ought to be moving to the next, like once it works you can call it done.

But new shiny thing! Alright, that’s great. Is it so
much better that you want everyone in the world to throw away their old devices? Probably eventually but you’re daft if you think those kinds of events should be every few years. God can you imagine if we did that to cars? Sorry, Honda dropped support for your Civic, you can keep using it for a bit but in a year we’re gonna change the roads and it will be undrivable.

The Truth About the Four-Day Workweek, from People Who Have Tried It
No, my problem is not being faced with even competition. My problem is being always faced with even competition.

In the past you’d know you were getting better because you’d start winning more often than losing. Conversely, you’d know you needed to get better when you were still mostly losing. This was all in games with a completely level playing field, so the only differentiator was skill (for me those games are tiberian sun, gta 2, warcraft 3 or unreal tournament).

This was, fun? I’d look up to the people that could defeat me.

Then the new generation of games, where you literally got advantages as you played more (Call of Duty MW2) things became crazy, because you’d need to play against people that had wildly different advantages. Matchmaking often isn’t very impressive, and you get matched with people much stronger than you.

Now, you just boot up the game, drop a few hundred 100’s of dollars, and start whacking noobs.
A good chunk of this is just using different definitions. The Stanford numbers count white hispanics as Hispanic and the government source as white. The Stanford numbers are only out of 85% not 100% like the government source, because it adds categories for unknown and international.

It does seem like Asian and multiracial students are represented more at Stanford than in the general population. But given that Stanford draws primarily from the Bay Area, is that surprising?
Wish these chip makers would start playing nice with the Linux kernel already. They should me mainlining their drivers before their products are even releaaed.
Yeah, I realize it was just a continued session, but that's exactly what I mean. For things like password changes or privilege changes, there should always be a mandatory re-auth to make sure it's not someone else at keys.

This is pretty much just best practice. When's the last time you could change your password without entering the original, short of a re-verification via email? Same idea here.

That said, customer-support-of-last-resort threads have been so repetitive lately that we started downweighting them more in general.

I mean using a remote Docker context over SSH, where I run `docker` commands on my laptop, but it runs the containers on a remote Docker server. My laptop does not run the docker daemon, so its just a client.

If you tell me to run

docker run -v ${HOME}/stuff:/stuff alpine

It will mount /home/stuff on the server, not my own home directory on my laptop. I would have to run another process that rsync's my local /home/stuff to the server.
One of the videos shows other examples of similar designs, dating back to ancient China. I don't think they're claiming to have invented anything; just promoting an old but still useful technology.
Used to, not anymore. Old wood stoves produced as much as 50+g./hr. of particulate matter, current standards are 2.5g./hr. for cord wood for new EPA-certified wood stoves since 2015. Most masonry heaters constructed in the last 20 years are in the 1-3g/hr. range (and for this reason have never needed EPA certification).
What you call a "huge fortress" is in fact a landlocked tiny sliver of a "country" with a bunch of Soviet leftovers, some locals that operate them once a year for a parade, all built around a depot of rusted ammunition that is mere kilometres from the Ukrainian border and would erupt in a huge fireball at the start of any hostilities. Oh, and the forces there happen to lack any supply route.
Goal of this guide: make writing LaTeX as easy (fast, efficient, enjoyable…) as writing math by hand. Tech stack: the Vim text editor using the UltiSnips snippet plugin and the VimTeX plugin’s LaTeX editing features. The series should help if you…

are interested in taking real-time lecture notes using LaTeX, à la Gilles Castel,
want a LaTeX experience decidedly more pleasant and efficient than whatever you were probably first taught, whether your motivation is real-time university lecture speed or not,
hope to switch to Vim from a different LaTeX editor, but are unsure how to proceed, or
just want to browse someone else’s workflow and configuration out of curiosity.

"As close as you can get" may be true, but it still doesn't sound very close. In fact the memorization part sounds profoundly miserable. "A lot of retracing" of stuff that, frankly, I probably understood the first couple times also sounds miserable, and inefficient. So, uh, the kool aid is pretty tasty I guess.
Let me guess. This is a view you picked up in - at the latest - the 2000s, and haven’t once reflected on since then. What’s next? A joke about writing a novel at Starbucks?

People that - especially in 2023 - make your argument, are tying technology choices to personality just as much (and quite likely way more) than any current “Apple fanboy”. I’ve got no doubt that your ego is tied up in your technology choices. You’re on Hacker News for crying out loud. Your impression of the “other team” is just particularly…outdated.
Look, I’m not saying you can’t use a PC for a TV if you want. I was specifically responding to the assertion that it was both cost-competitive and better performing when neither is true. It certainly allows you to do different things but it’s unclear how many people care about those more than the extra cash.
I expect lifetime updates. I get that on my real computers: my Linux distribution doesn't suddenly stop updating just because my computer is 3+ years old. Why should phones be any different? You're telling me these trillion dollar corporations can't match the quality of service of Linux distribution maintainers?
Yes, I came here to say this.

Swapping out the battery is a great improvement only if the device's lifetime is longer than the battery's, and my batteries tend to last more than three years.

The bad versions should be developed, but they should not be marketed as a replacement for traditional education.

> You don't need to develop independent apps

That's kind of irrelevant because they are currently developing a lot of apps to replace the functionality they'd get in Android for free. They'd save an insane amount of time and actually deliver a product competitive with mainstream phones right now, which would give them funding & marketshare to continue refining it down the line (potentially replacing it with non-Android components one at a time).

> There should be no difference between a phone and a desktop, except for the screen size

And the input method, which is a massive difference - touch and mouse are completely different, and so are the contexts in which phone vs desktop apps are used. If you try to merge the two, you'd look like the idiots who gave us Windows 8. So there's still effort in making specific UIs for different mediums.

> I can connect a screen and keyboard to my phone and use it as desktop

I'm not sure there's an actual need for it? This has even been tried by large companies such as Samsung and Microsoft and didn't go anywhere - in practice this isn't a problem the vast majority of people has and seems like an absurd thing to start with for a resource-constrained company in a very competitive market.

- The shoes having found their way to a market does not mean that they will be bought and reused.

- If they aren't bought, what will the store owner do with them?

- If they are bought, what will the buyer do with them after they are no longer usable?

(Of course, in this case the reporters presumably bought them. How will they dispose of them now though?)

Maybe the reporters should have sent in shoes that are obviously broken and can't possibly be reused as shoes.

It's not "miserable" if the lesson scripts are designed for it. In fact, the challenge of gradually memorizing "the lesson" until you know it word for word can be playful and engaging.
If cash loses value due to inflation, where does it go? Now for old fashioned inflation that would be obvious: to the people who charge more for goods and services. But with current monetary shenanigans it isn't. You might be tempted to say the printers. Who are they? The central bank? Who controls that? The government? How does the government enforce anything? The threat of violence. Therefore stealing: government taking something of value by force or threat of force.

It looks like 348 according to that data, resulting in 150 deaths over about 13 years, or 11.5 deaths per year on average.

There are ~74 million people 0-18 years of age in the U.S. right now, meaning about 0.016 deaths per 100,000 children per year.

And these won't be similar across the age spectrum: most of the kids killed in school shootings are older, some school shootings don't involve kids (either the shooter or the victims), some don't involve any intent to shoot anyone (firing a gun in the air), some involve justified shootings (i.e., in self-defense), and the wikipedia data includes universities so they would fall outside of 0-18. The basic point being the 0.016 number is inflated.

For comparison, drowning is about 1.0 per 100,000 or 64x as likely. Being struck and killed by lightning is about half as likely.

There are plenty devices that work well with UT and are available in the US, e.g Google Pixel 3a/3a XL. Mentioned devices still have an Android Kernel and many limitations. Waydroid on the Volla phone isn't stable, Ubports itself mediocre compared to SailfishOS and suffers from competing for developer time over other Linux on Mobile OSses.

You're overestimating the Volla phone and Fairphone, 1st one still doesn't support VoLTE which I heard is essential in the US, 2nd thing isn't even recommended by UT.[1]

Either go with an Xperia + SailfishOS [2] if you want more than a toy or Pinephone + PmOs [3] if you love to tinker on your daily driver. Both have VoLTE support.

These are excellent, thank you.

I maintain similar Django and Flask + compose stacks on behalf of the startup studio I work for so it’s fun to compare notes.

For our Django stack, for instance, we have also settled on Postgres, on celery+redis, and on whitenoise. black/flake8/isort also seem universally agreeable. We also throw in pyright and generally make extensive use of type hints.

For the front-end, we’re currently Create React App with TypeScript and Tailwind. I’d love for us to move away from CRA, so your use of esbuild is helpful to see. (I’d personally be happy using HTMX or Turbo/Stimulus but for the moment a JSON API backend with a React SPA front-end seems more comfortable for more of the CTOs who hop on board.)

We also supply some minimally opinionated glue at the API layer. On the back end we have a base View that provides a few helper methods for transmuting invalid Form instances to nice JSON replies that the TypeScript API invocation code works with gracefully. (We used to push DRF but have lots of feedback from older startups than ran with it and had regrets down the road.)
I think "clean" is intended relative to other wood-burning stoves. Because this design of stove burns at relatively high temperature, it yields more complete combustion and emits lower levels of particulate.
You can start a REPL with `isympy -I`, which is an IPython REPL but with some preprocessing magic that wraps any unknown variable into a sympy symbol and any integer into a sympy integer, which makes it closer to Mathematica:

Seems to me like the probability for scamming is nearly 100% in a program like this because there's a long chain of no-name contractors involved. One contractor hires another and says "Get rid of this stuff" and eventually one of them finds somebody who actually wants to illegally buy the usable part of the waste and then he just dumps the rest in a ditch somewhere. The next-to-last contractor in the chain didn't ask any questions about why the final contractor offered to cart it away for free, but they should have.

When the scam is eventually discovered, the publicly-visible company at the front of the chain has plausible deniability and blames it on the contractors. This general pattern is what caused a decent fraction of EPA superfund disasters in the US.

Plus it's waste, so nobody is very motivated to actually keep track of where it ends up. Until bluetooth trackers came along and made that easy, anyway.
The GP was obvious flamebait and I replied to it with a scolding. But your comment was also flamebait. It's important not to reply with more of the same—that's how we get a downward spiral.

Phrasing it in terms of generating income was not the best choice of words, I'll admit.

However if you granted what I wrote even an ounce of charity, you could probably guess that I didn't mean "literally only the direct actions that generate income for the company are work"

My stance is not that complicated. Work is actions taken to advance the interests of the company. Meetings are talking about actions to take, but are not actions themselves. If the outcome of the meeting does not actions for someone to take, then it probably was not a useful meeting.
As a mathematician, the least fun I have is when interacting with a CAS. The degree to which one needs to do this tends to be field specific, but the tedium of calculations seen is most undergraduate courses is negligible.
If only functional languages with immutable variables had some kind of "unsafe" section where you could actually mutate stuff...

Just run docker compose on the remote machine (and copy the compose file with scp). I don’t see a lot of benefits if you run docker compose on another machine than the docker daemon. You can even automate it with ansible, terraform, or similar, if you like it neat.

Or just go with k8s if you need a more complex setup.
Thanks for the reply. I didn't know that was a thing.

Though, I'm still confused by your example of having to rsync /home/stuff to the server. If you use a named Docker volume, is the remote Docker container somehow using a volume you have located on your laptop? Wouldn't you still have to transfer the volume from laptop to server?

In fairness though I had an android phone from 2014 with no gyroscope and it was a problem. Accelerometer, gyro, and GPS are all complimentary features that are used to keep each other calibrated. That phone was absolutely terrible in cities (NYC and LA) because the GPS would get confused by GPS signals echoing off skyscrapers, and all of a sudden it decides you're randomly bouncing around 1/4 mile going random speeds and directions. Navigation was unusable in dense cities.

Going without a gyro or accelerometer is fine under normal conditions because you've got 2-of-3 so you can synthesize the output from the remaining sensor (my phone had synthetic gyro). But once you lose GPS fix you've lost your last degree-of-freedom and the only remaining sensor is the accelerometer, at which point the system goes into gimbal lock and the platform loses its fix.
TBF Fairphone will be far likely to break over the isolated iPhone 13. Add the lack of software support and it’s far more expensive to own.

I always took the root of the debate to be that sound is an artifical quality we use to describe the characteristics of the air vibrations we perceive.

Short of a lazier universe than we're willing to accept, it almost certainly did cause an effect, including harmonic vibrations, ones that are replicated around like echos, etc. It's just unclear if it's sound if there's nobody there to interpret it.

Not saying I buy it one way or the other, just that it's the reason I never thought it was as stupid as you do.

Extending this take back to thread root and then the objection, I always understood "speed of sound" to be more or less "speed of causalty filtered through a substrate", i.e. if you bump into this side, how long does it take that side to be affected by it? "Sound" is just one potential type of bump to be traveling, if we subjectively interpret the vibrations that eventually make it through to the other side that way.
