Yes, this is normal for iPhones. But Apple users either deny it or excuse it. An older iPhone isn't really useful for anything besides very basic functions because of this.
That depends.

In English, ¨ is a diacritic mark called diaeresis, which indicates that a vowel is distinct, and shouldn't be diphthongized or dropped: Coöperation, Noël, Brontë.

In German, ¨ is a diacritic mark called umlaut, which transforms the vowels A, O, and U into their umlauted versions: Ä, Ö, and Ü. These characters are not distinct letters of the German alphabet, but belong to a special weird in-between class.

In Swedish, ¨ is not a diacritic mark, does not have a name, and is simply an integral part of the letters Ä and Ö, which together with Å are distinct letters of the Swedish alphabet. The dots aren't modifiers, they're not optional, Ä is not sort-of-an-A, it's as distinct from A as any other vowel, and its pronunciation is closer to E than A.
Honestly I'd prefer a top made out of various pieces of wood glued together - you can make some pretty neat patterns! That said, that process isn't cheap either lol.

When I did mine I went with a jarvis frame and a custom glass top from a local glass company. The frosted (and tempered) 72x30x0.5 top cost me about $600, weighs about 100lbs, can easily handle a like 900lb load with no issue. Super durable. As long as I don't throw broken spark plugs at it or strike the edge with a hammer. And I put 2" radiuses on the corners so you can't break it by bumping something into it quite as easily.

I LOVE IT!

That said, every other person I've shown it to on the internet thinks it's tacky and I should've gone with a "more mature looking ikea butcher block" or something lol.

What the libertarian types don’t seem to get is that it isn’t just them dealing with the consequences. It turns out the aggregate mental health of the society you live in DOES affect you, even if you don’t partake personal.

Nobody chose to be homeless, nobody chose to have an eating disorder as a teenager, nobody chose to have a society that it incredibly obese, etc these are all conditions largely created as a consequence of the externalities of others actions chasing their freedoms: others decided to buy lots of investment properties and drive up prices beyond middle class affordability, others decided to photoshop and post their selfies to create toxic body standards, others decided to openly consume incredibly sugary food and increasingly normalized obesity.

We live in a community, we’re not atomized individuals, and how others behave DOES affect us. The freedom to create a shittier society for everyone is no freedom at all.

No, you're misunderstanding me. I'm stating that if Apple doesn't even think the maintainer is good enough to get hired, surely they can produce a better solution than him. This doesn't indicate that the 3rd party developer is shit at all, not sure why you would assume such.

I think this is why I was most productive at anything in the morning. I would get up at 5 or 6, because I just can't sleep past six hours, and have a good two hours to myself before my wife was up or I needed to head to work.

But now I have a kid, so either he wakes up soon after I do, or I don't dive into anything but because I need to drop it when he's up.

It just seems like less waste because the volume and weight is smaller - but the disposing user doesn't see how much the manufacturing process consumed. It would be interesting to see some sort of resource that compares waste in this manner.

Fun fact: Chrome, the browser, is named ironically. Compared to other browsers at the time, Chrome had almost no chrome around the window content.

>it's not really worth fighting, I don't think.

Absolutely.

Yet it's hardly a secret either and something you would expect someone who graduated university writing for a relatively well known newspaper to be able to get right. It's trivial to most readers of English whether they got it right, sure. It's also trivial to get it right and they did not. It looks bad and casts bad light on the newspaper for accuracy and getting details correct. Needless to say there are plenty of details that may not be as trivial to get right but are non-trivial in their effect of your understanding of the story. How does something as batshit simple as this winding up smeared on the WSJ's face in such a nothing story affect the readers' estimate of how often they get important details wrong? That assessment is up to each reader but I'm pretty sure we can all agree it probably doesn't help much.

> I know that I deserve to go to hell

Why do I deserve to go to hell? My life was and continues to be pretty boring: as a child I went to school, I did my homework and got good grades, later I went to college, and later still I got a Ph.D.. Then I got a job, I got married, got kids. I continue to go to work, I get paid, pay my taxes (if you prefer, "I render unto Caesar what's due to Caesar"). I don't steal or con people. I don't cheat on my wife. I don't take Lord's name in vain, because I don't swear in general. I honor may parents. I don't observe the Sabbath, I don't even know if it's supposed to be on Saturday on Sunday. I don't worship idols, either 2D or 3D, because I'm an atheist.

Why exactly am I supposed to go to hell?
One thing the article doesn't mention, but that's also interesting is that multipart is also heavily used for email.

I go out and get pretty drunk on the weekend probably once every 4 to 6 weeks. It's a great way to meet my friends to swap stories and have fun, so I really enjoy it. I've been doing it for a the last 15 years, and I will keep doing it in some way or another for as long as I still enjoy it.

I get that it's not for everyone, but I don't get the impulse to try and restrict others from doing these things. Like, I don't really get why people would sink so many hours into video games, and to be honest I think it's kind of a waste, but I'd never try and ban anyone from doing it.

We're all on this rock for a couple of years and then we're gone forever. Let people spend that time enjoying themselves how they like.

My step-father has cannabis-induced paranoid schizophrenia. It ruined his life, his family's life, my mother's life and my life for the past twenty years. Yes, the horror.

The horror of thinking the sun is going to explode. The horror of thinking the people that care the most about him are going to kill him. The horror of thinking there's faces in the sidewalk. The horror of thinking aliens visit him and attempt to abduct him. The horror of thinking he gets messages from the aliens via the static on a TV. The horror of thinking he's married to someone else who doesn't know who he is. The horror of not being able to look after himself or work. The horror of him being homeless in another country because the system there failed him. I could go on for hours.

I know several others since the legalization of pot who induced schizophrenia in themselves in adulthood. Overeating? Consider yourself lucky.

This is a good example of the situation in many sports. The UCI is a governing body, not an event organiser or promoter. Basically anyone can put on race, and they are responsible for making money out of it. So event promoters make their own deals with broadcasters.
> Death rates from cirrhosis of the liver were halved by Prohibition,

While cases of Jake Foot went through the roof, tens of thousands died from drinking alcohol the government intentionally poisoned, crime increased, and the Mafia profited heavily.

80% of antibiotics in the US are used in animal husbandry, often because antibiotics cause animals to grow bigger. Until very recently, farmers could buy 55-gallon drums of antibiotics from Alibaba.com.

Those antibiotics persist in the environment, where their exposure to scores of different species of bacteria causes resistance to develop across gene pools, which is bad because of horizontal gene transfer.

The majority of communicable diseases in humans have zoonotic origins.

It's insane that still wasn't enough, and the industry is now using antibacterial peptides that mirror innate immune systems.
> the process that was using the port is now not responding.

Yes, but why?

Between strace, ps, atop, lsof, logging, and understanding the OS and TCP, it shouldn't be horrific to figure out what is happening. The very same skills to understand the problem are valuable to a lot of problems and investing in one simple problem is a further investment in future problems. "I don't have the telemetry to understand this" is, if nothing else, a deferred problem. Having devs that aren't prepared for oncall is also a problem.

"Why is my process hung?" is something I hope most devs can solve.

Not solving a frequently hanging process is short-termism. Not solving problems creates a learned helplessness about systemic problems. They build up and get addressed too late.

I'm sure there's contradictory evidence too, but you obviously didn't dig for that because you offered nothing to counter the evidence I presented.

>While the government may not explicitly state that "you must use cars" if you take a look at state transportation department budgets, for example, you'll see that the funding is all for cars. We could split hairs and say it's not a "mandate" but I think it is effectively a mandate and if you asked, most politicians would say something like "Americans love their cars and freedom" which means "we support car-only infrastructure".

Thanks for putting a finer point on that. As an American who lives in NYC, but has traveled/lived all over the US, your assessment is spot on.

Except for the "mandate" part (at least IMHO). Which, I argue, isn't splitting hairs at all.

I say that because the activities of state and local governments are, in fact, what the people they represent want. If it were not, those folks wouldn't have been elected in the first place.

And that's especially true for local governments, where a couple dozen folks dedicated to making something happen can usually do so. That's also true (generally with a few more folks involved) for state governments.

As such, those governments are, in fact, executing the will of their constituencies. So, in my mind, that's not a "mandate" (An authoritative command or instruction)[0] by the government, but a mandate (A command or authorization given by a political electorate to the winner of an election)[0] from the folks those governments represent.

So the car culture is, as wasteful as it may be, what the citizens of such towns/cities/counties/states have demanded (or at least voted for) and not some "edict from on high," which is the sense I got from both your comments around this. If my understanding is mistaken, my apologies.

Ironic, perhaps, but not paradoxical. Anti-smoking campaigners latched onto nicotine as the principal, evil chemical and sold that narrative relentlessly for decades. In parallel, other campaigners sold a narrative that the only reason marijuana was prohibited was to oppress minorities. Both narratives ultimately became wildly successful and internalized by the vast majority of the population.

We ended up in a logically dissonant state because that's just how politics and culture work. What's most galling, IMO, is when people today defend this obvious dissonance, such as in San Francisco where leftist politicians will defend both narratives in the same sentence with a straight face. Worse is when they do stuff like ban mentholated cigarettes with the express intention of saving the black community from itself, while opposing any proposed restraints on the sale or consumption of marijuana as oppression of the black community. There's so much dissonance there it boggles the mind.

There are ways to harmonize the disparate treatment of cigarettes and marijuana in our new, normative culture so that marijuana use is afforded more laxity relative to cigarettes, but too many seem to be bought specifically into the fallacious logic of the original campaigns.

People don't have to dance. Incentive to dance is very strong though.

Here's the thing, when you look at the behavior of large groups of people the overall incentive is the overall outcome. As an individual you can resist but groups act predictably and follow straightforward patterns.

Think of it like drugs. You going to tell people to stop doing heroin and end the problem forever? No. You gonna tell people to stop dancing and end the problem forever? No.

The only thing that will bend the industry in favor of your idea is software unions. Centralized control can influence individuals to act in cohesion. Without leadership the short term incentive wins.
One of the drivers of antibiotic use in farming is the fact that price points for food need to remain low because of stagnant wages. In order to eke out a profit, industrial amounts of food are needed at lower costs and those costs need to go down even in the face of inflation.
