I just bought a fossil hybrid gen 6 and like it very much. It's an E-Ink display with fitness tracking. It has about two weeks of battery life for about an hour of charge.

I would also recommend using it with GadgetBridge, and combined with Tasker you can do pretty much anything you want on it.
You don't have to be religious to recognize that this is the stated reason for which the royal family was given its legitimacy. Obviously that is not the sole reason for its continued existence, but (as an outside observer) all of the rituals and ceremony surrounding the coronation seem to further entrench that idea.
Or, a step further, a lot of people's ancestors died in the Union army.

That said. I'd actually be okay with reparations if they did the accounting properly. Step one: Look at the median income in Sierra Leone. Step 2: Look at the equivalent black income in the United States. Find the difference. I'll take cash or check.

I think one of the reasons he is popular here is because he references a lot of mathematical and engineering concepts and terms that if you understand (as I assume a good deal of the population here does) you’ll get even more out of his books.

I got lucky early on with my job. It was great, mostly because I liked the people I worked with. So I cannot relate to your experience. But in terms of trying to influence things (like effect major change), I never really tried to do that. I knew that my personality was not suited for it. I've seen people who tried and failed and I agree it can be discouraging. If I get another job I would look mainly at the people I would be working with and the general culture. The project, the stack, the mission, none of that is as important to me, a middle-aged swe.
> [...] you legally must notify the police of any march or protest.

March, not protest. From your own source:

> If there’s no march organised as part of your protest, you do not have to tell the police.

On the few occasions I've organised protests I did inform them, because although they didn't really care about protests they don't like surprises.
Most people don't have a plan B. This could drive an increase in the average programmer age.
I mean, you joke but that's actually fairly true. P4 users always notice when the central server goes down because you can't reliably look at changelist history, draft CLs, and do a host of other operations that are possible on git locally. (using a central VCS confers other advantages of course).
Depends on your reference frame.

You're thinking about it as an individual.

But is your company's productivity better? Is your team's productivity better? That's ultimately what will come down to.

It's fair to say that HN is overwhelmingly pro-remote work. This is because coding is uniquely "not bad" for remote work. And there are many coders on HN.

But pretty much every other department is worse off with 100% remote work, in my opinion.

Even software development hits a remote-only wall eventually because you don't create those relationships in person. Everyone is just a mercenary. Very little culture or care is created.

Ignoring the fact that what people actually do with GitHub, git is such a small part. Issues, PRs, CI/CD and basically everything that isn't git, doesn't happen over git (besides the wiki, which somehow miraculously actually is via git).

Some people have their entire roadmap in GitHub, and every single bug report / feature request, without any offline backup. Don't ask me why, I don't get it. Especially since they have proven for the last few years that they cannot keep the platform up in a stable manner.
It's also the most useless for humanity. We are takling about a protocol where you must waste the most ressource in order to validate a transaction and get paid for it.
Wasn't it just a little while ago that looting was supposed to be a form of reparations?

Yes, California's population is in slight decline, the reason is that California did not build nearly enough housing in the past decades, making it increasingly unaffordable to live there.
Why would I plug sensors, that sip power, into a power point?

When I have humidity/temperature, light, motion, etc in every single room how many freaking power points am I meant to have in my house, aha. Maybe American houses have walls absolutely studded with power points but most other places don't.
I feel that a pertinent question for us non-Indian tech workers who by the nature of the industry often report to Indian managers is where we rank in the caste system. We’re obviously outcaste by default, but I wonder if there’s a difference between Indian and foreign outcaste.

The answer feels a bit mealy-mouthed to me:

In my opinion, it is tedious to discuss whether Midjourney or Stable Diffusion is better.

Both are tools with their own strengths and weaknesses.

Midjourney

- Comparable to a ready-made consumer product.

- Easy to use and you get excellent results quickly.

- The feature set is limited. So you can't influence so well how the result should look like.

- Restrictions on what you can generate with it (gore, nudes).

- Fee required.

Stable Diffusion

- Comparable to a development kit. Technical, Difficult to use, different tools that you have to configure and use correctly.

- For excellent results you have to invest much more time.

- Extensive feature set (inpaining, outpaining, upscaling, ControlNet, many different models, LORAs, textual inversions). You can much better define how the result should look like.

- No restrictions on what you can generate.

- Free if you install it locally.

I enjoy looking back because the present makes no sense. Most decisions only make sense in context. If one can understand the context of the decision one can better understand which constraints are relevant to the actually problem domain under consideration.

How would you categorize an AI to be such a god? If its purely digital it won't be all-powerful, ie shutdown the Sun/Sagittarius A* or change laws of physics. All-knowing may be much easier to achieve, at least with all current human knowledge is out there. But whether that's a god, or even God would be a difficult topic.

Since the modern era began we have mainly focused on figuring out where to put these mountains and not at all why we would want to move them in the first place.

My guess is potential licensing issues and/or cost reductions. I assume someone has done a competitor analysis and decided that the lack of such a feature will not cause significant churn and is not worth the time and effort (legal, financial, development time etc.).

Prompt:
"I will give you a logic puzzle. You should first write [Reasoning] and explain your reasoning. Then write [Answer] and write your answer. Ready?"

I then gave it the original puzzle and got this.

Answer:
"[Reasoning]
We are given two statements:

If it rains today, I will drive home.
I did not drive home.
The first statement is a conditional statement, meaning that if the condition "it rains today" is true, then the outcome "I will drive home" will also be true. However, the second statement tells us that the outcome "I did not drive home" is true.

In logic, this is an example of Modus Tollens, which states that if we have a conditional statement (if P, then Q) and the negation of the consequent (not Q), we can infer the negation of the antecedent (not P). In this case, P represents "it rains today" and Q represents "I will drive home."

[Answer]
Since we know that the outcome "I did not drive home" is true (not Q), we can infer that "it did not rain today" (not P)."

GPT-4, seems solid. It also solves the original without any issue but gives a simpler answer:

"Based on the information provided, it can be inferred that if it rains today, you will drive home. However, you mentioned that you did not drive home. From this, we can conclude that it likely did not rain today."

Many outages happen because something changed, and someone/something missed one of the effects of said change, bringing the platform down immediately, or after a while.

There was a period of time when GitHub basically didn't change, for years. And the platform was relatively stable (although "unicorns" (downtime)) still happened from time to time.

But nowhere near as often as now, but then again, there is a lot of more moving pieces now compared to before.

There's been a recurring theme where a Danish right wing extremist named Rasmus Paludan crosses the border every once in a while and burn's the Quran outside of various embassies for muslim-majority countries.

In 2020 there was a proposal to make it illegal on the basis of the consistent consequences of these actions (riots, damaged international relations, increased threat profile against the country ect). AFAIK, this proposal fizzled out and never lead anywhere.
My own sense is that black and white forced an economy of pixels. For glyphs, icons, artwork, I could labor over the placement of every single pixel.

A crisp, high contrast display and neat, little square pixels just reinforces that kind of regenerative feedback loop.
GitLab is quite a bit more expensive. If you have GitHub Enterprise with the security features, it's $70/month/user whereas you'll need to get GitLab Ultimate for the security features, which is $99/month/user.

I was replying to: "protest is meant to be disruptive".

Speaking in a public place is free speech.

Interrupting a motorcade is not free speech. Pushing people around to get in from of cameras is neither.

By the way, I'm using these two possible behaviours as examples of disruptive actions that do not constitute free speech. I'm not stating that people in London were arrested due to such behaviours.

100% this, the marketing team wants to have Google Tag Manager to inject random marketing scripts all across the page and management backs them up and then the development team has no insight to or no say in what actual scripts are run on a specific page.

I wrote an essay about this :)

Here's an excerpt:

If intelligence is like Mickey Mouse, we might say that anything that passes a Turing Test needs to pay taxes.
But likeness of thought is not necessarily thought.

If intelligence is like a work of Banksy, we might say that non-human thought is fake or forgery.
But in the secular worldview, there is no author of our human minds. And there is no authenticity without an author.

If intelligence is like champagne, we might say that only human intelligence is authentic: all other intelligence is “animal” or “alien” or “something else”.
But there’s nothing special about the human brain: any sufficiently-large computer could simulate one. And it doesn’t matter whether the thoughts occur in Champagne, Earth, or Champagne, Mars. Intelligence is intelligence independent of the origin.

If intelligence is like meat, then we might say that non-human minds might be intelligent. We may say that non-conscious agents with intelligent behavior are “artificial”, while conscious ones are “synthetic”.

The point isn't that GitLab has more, the point is that running these things at global scale is pretty complicated, and everyone has problems. "Just switch to GitLab" is pithy but isn't in itself an actual solution.

There are language with even smaller sets of unique sounds that do not have tones like Hawaiian: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hawaiian_phonology

There are many common homophones in English that are distinguished by context. Conversation tends to have a lot of context. As a Mandarin speaker, I've never really experienced this context problem. You can make up some artificial examples in English and Chinese but they don't really reflect average communication. Like "The bat and the bow are on the table". It is important to know that a good percentage of words in Mandarin are multi-syllabic (not just one character).

Mandarin can be written phonetically perfectly fine. Currently the most popular systems are Hanyu Pinyin (used in China, Singapore and Malaysia) and Zhuyin (used in Taiwan). Kids learn these systems in school before they learn characters. Chinese characters have a strong historical and cultural value, that's why they are still around.

It's not weird if you consider that only foreigners who give a shit will bother to come. Add that to them this whole thing is distant enough to treat it as a theme park where they can larp their mediaval fantasies and it only makes sense.

Personally, I would say there's a lot of blame to go around but around 0% of that should fall on the median teacher. In a lot of places, teachers' jobs are in practice to keep up with implementing the endless flood of initiatives and programmes and innovations meant to make things better, often written by people who have no clue. The median teacher will discover quite soon that any criticism of the latest guidelines coming down from above is not welcome.

It's a bit like hiring a programmer to build a fairly standard mobile app, but deciding that it has to be done in a blockchain-based microservice framework with some AI thrown in, written in a research language designed for someone's MSc thesis. Tell the programmer not to questions these decisions OR ELSE, then blame them when the project fails, and you have roughly the situation in some states' education sectors.

In the UK, a case recently made the headlines where a head teacher ended their own life after Ofsted (the government's office for education) downgraded their school's rating. Schools are in the game of guessing what they think Ofsted will like as much as some students are in the game of guessing what they think their teacher will like to read in their essay to get an A, and it certainly seems like schools demonstrating enthusiasm in implementing the latest Ofsted initiatives is part of the whole circus. The median teacher is on the receiving end of both the government's initiatives and their head teacher's ideas on how to implement them; if they use whole-language instruction because that's what Big Brother has made this week's doctrine then I'd allocate the blame 100% to the people with actual structural power in this situation.

(There is a whole book on this, Teach Like Nobody's Watching by Mark Enser, trying to encourage teachers to go outside the box of "what will look good on the next Ofsted inspection" where they are given the leeway to do this by their head teachers.)

Although phonics has many studies behind it showing that it works better than whole-language, to the extent that I strongly support teaching phonics, you'll note that part of the original topic title is "NY is Forcing Schools to ...". That's how orders come down to teachers in the real world, so it seems unfair to blame teachers too much for the results.
Making the world a little bit better is an extremely noble goal, but it’s just really hard to respect environmentalists when they’re celebrating shutting down nuclear power plants even though coal plants will take up the slack, or telling me that I should stop eating beef and drinking milk because of the cow methane meanwhile they had no idea my entire country’s bovine population was basically a rounding error because Turkmenistan let the pilot light go out at a mining site. It feels like trying to respect Dilbert’s boss.
Actually according to census data, CA population peaked in 2020 at 39.5 million, and as of 2022 was at 39.02 million, a drop of almost 500k people.

While I agree "cratering" is still hyperbolic for that change, it's quite a bit more than the numbers you mentioned imply.
Common right-wing talking point: California’s liberal policy decisions are turning it into a lawless, woke, communist hell-hole that rational citizens are leaving in droves for enlightened states like Texas (ed. note: where they can get murdered in one of the monthly right-to-bear-arms rituals).

> remember a few years ago how tray icons and whatnot were all different between KDE and Gnome?

Yes, and then tray icons worked across desktop environments for a few years until Gnome decided that this standard should be thrown out and replaced it with nothing.

I think what many people annoys with Gnome and Wayland is that they control the overall trend in Linux desktops and yet couldn't care less about most advanced and experienced Linux users. But what other Linux desktops are there?
The logic here seems inconsistent. Of course the keys could be different at runtime, but that can happen in all sorts of situations. I could type an API response and the API could change, or I could've been wrong about the response type, but it's not like Typescript says "well we refuse to accept your API typing because it could be wrong at runtime." I feel like it just makes more sense to trust that the object type is what we've said it is, and if it's not, THAT is the problem, and not that TypeScript let us believe that the keys were type keyof T.
About 10 years ago someone said we should move to self hosting because bitbucket who we used were unreliable. I looked at the status page and say 2 hours of downtime over 3-months, while we have 3-4 days of downtime on our self hosted jenkins during the same time. I always think of that when I see people complain about services being unreliable. Often we see one or two problems in short span and forget about the months were we didn't see any issues.

GitHub is probably as reliable now as it has been for the past 10 years. It's always had downtime.
>As an example, I'm not an anti-monarch but I was extremely angry about how the police handled anti-monarch protestors during the coronation.

The monarchy is classism personified.

Do you not think that by not being anti-monarchy you're tacitly OK with a class based society, and that's a part of where the conformism comes from - class identity?

Bear in mind the various loyalty swearing that goes on - MPs, Armed Forces, Police, is loyalty sworn first and foremost to the Monarch - implicitly a person at the top of a heirarchy of class.
> awful for anyone with less steady hands and diminishing near vision

You are obviously right when it comes to lack of steady hands, but diminishing near vision is no reason not to use a smartphone. In fact, speech synthesis is what kept blind people mostly functioning in this new world. IOW, if you no longer can see the screen, turn on your smartphones screen reader. Android and Apple both have them built in these days, so you dont even have to buy anything extra.
It's important that we cultivate a language of words with more precise meanings rather than always trying to interpolate what the writer meant using their context.

A better language and a better society has a more sophisticated set of words to communicate with.
I was talking to a co-worker recently. Some old friends at Microsoft had contacted us to see about some collaboration. Then it really hit me how much Microsoft is embedded:

* University is switching to Microsoft from Google for mail/calendar

* Some of us use Powerpoint for presentations, and a few docs are sometimes written in word

* We certainly use Github a lot

* We advertise/promote on LinkedIn

* We sometimes take courses through LinkedIn Learning (paid by the university)

* Now we could collaborate with them (?)

* I use a Surface Pro

Despite us being very heavy Linux users (like a lot of science), Microsoft is still everywhere.
