I totally understand the financial benefits of "mid-tier" stuff.

We're all familiar with how "low-tier" stuff can cause more trouble then it's worth or even cost more money then if you bought something better.

But I've found the quality of life and other benefits of buying the "high-tier" stuff is sometimes incredible. I bought a 1080ti which was effectively the highest consumer GPU and that lasted 5+ years while have more memory then even most modern GPUs (11GB). I've found the noise cancelling quality at the 350$ tier headphones to be miiiiiiiiiiiiles above the 150$ pair and the 75$ tier (I own three tiers of the sony ones from a few years ago).

Of course just because it's expensive doesn't mean it's better value, or even better in general, you have to be really strategic and honestly sometimes lucky, and obviously most people can't afford the "high-tier" of everything they want. But somethings I'm just really happy I went with the "high-tier".

Obviously if you're just want to watch videos and casually listen to music 20$ earbuds might be all you need. I will say few 20$ earbuds will be rated as "quality audio" even by non-audiophiles, but if that's all you need then that's great!

If you need decent quality audio and high quality noise cancelling for your work in an office and plan to use it for years, then you might consider the "high-end" because it really can make a massive difference depending on your needs.
I'm running a Xiaomi Mi 8, which in 2018 when I got it, was their flagship device. I paid $430 including taxes and shipping. The main criteria when I got the phone was it had an unlockable bootloader and third party ROMs.

I'm currently running Android 13 and get security updates every week. The battery is a bit weaker now, and the screen has a few scratches, but other than that, it's as good as when I got it. It doesn't feel slow or underpowered like old iPhones do (my wife has had every iPhone SE because of that).
Ask HN: Should SaaS product managers have System Design Thinking skills?
Ive been currently working with and interviewing many different product managers and Im finding the "unicorn" product managers are the ones that have actual System design thinking skills.

Without these, I feel that product management becomes too nebulous and generic. Speaking specifically about software product management.

Im keen to understand how this fits with others
Similarly keen on sticking with Pixel handsets.

As a sibling noted, LineageOS would be the answer to 'what to do when Google EOL's this', in no small part because this is going to be a popular device.

My old top-of-the-line Samsung 12" lost support within a few minutes of it being released, but LineageOS support there is also good, and predictably it was faster without all the Samsung cruft.

Right now to replace that Samsung device it'd be a toss-up between this tablet, and the Lenovo P11 (at half the price). I'd prefer a slightly larger screen (1:1 ratio to physical text ebooks) but I expect both would have similar after-market life (via lineage).
Another way to put it would be that the wealthiest people tend to own the assets that are creating lots of value. But owning is not the same thing as creating.

Personally love awesome Postgres - https://github.com/dhamaniasad/awesome-postgres
If you’re talking about the command line client that’s built in, it’s psql. If you can’t remember the command name to launch it or regularly type those other commands when you meant to type psql, you could add aliases to your shell that point to psql. :)

Learning any new CLI client is a bit daunting at first. With repetition and intention, I think the commands become very memorable. Eg “describe table” is “dt”.
So what's the right way to do a wider-ranging analysis? Chunk into segments, ask about each one, then do a second pass to review all answers together?
We used to be the global manufacturer of farm equipment. The early 80's farm crisis closed several major players. Deere is still headquartered here, but plants are established in China and elsewhere.

My area also hosts a U.S. arsenal with custom manufacturing for military equipment that has kept many people employed. We also have the largest aluminum press in the world that makes all the skin for Boeing, Airbus, and all the rest (Bombardier, Embraer, et al).

I've worked for all of them.

We never recovered from the loss of farm manufacturing, which has depressed home prices.

> Modern Pixel phones are made using Google's in-house Tensor chip.

By which you mean "rebranded Samsung Exynos"?
By that logic, I get new iPhones for free. Even if you include the value of the iPhone I trade in, it's still only $250-300.

Yes, they're right that you don't need to spend more than $250 to get a really capable smartphone - because the cost of the phone is put into your service plan. You can trade in any Samsung Galaxy S and get a brand new Galaxy S23 for free. AT&T will even give you a Pixel 7a for $2/mo, $72 in total - no trade in required. Tomorrow's headline: I won't spend more than $72 on a new smartphone!

And if you want to blast holes in my argument, you certainly can. Plan prices matter. Of course, Visible from Verizon $25/mo unlimited compared to Google Fi's $50/mo unlimited. Visible has a $35/mo plan that has 50GB of premium data and then unlimited deprioritized data after that - which is a lot better than 50GB of premium data from Google Fi and then getting throttled to 256kbps (yea, kilo-bits) - and Google Fi wants to charge $65/mo for that, 86% more than Visible.

Why not buy a $500 Pixel 7a and get $25-35/mo Visible service instead of spending $50-65/mo on Google Fi? The savings are a lot more than the $10.42/mo rebate the author is getting. Plus, Visible has taxes and fees included while Google Fi will mean paying taxes and fees - which could be another $10/mo, eliminating your rebate.

If the author likes Google Fi, I'm more than happy for them. However, the premise that they're getting the Pixel 7a for $250 is just ridiculous.
I asked it a letter at a time.. 1st letter, 2nd, etc. And it gave me part of the real word but messed up. Then I asked for reverse and I figured it out from there. Some typo weirdness.

It’s true that the variant of the issue involving explicit references seems pretty unique to Go. But there are plenty of languages that have the variant of the issue where a closure implicitly captures a local variable by reference. JavaScript used to have it until `let` was created (and still does have it if you don’t use `let`). And I ran into it recently in some closure-heavy Python code I wrote recently. (Python makes it relatively ugly to work around, too.)

Yes and no? Terrorism is generally used against an enemy when actual military action is not possible. The intent would normally be to steer government action via basically public pressure. So the purpose is not the inconvenience or intrusiveness of counter terrorism precautions, that is just a side effect. Though most modern terrorism is likely a weird edge case rooted in an overly literal interpretation of a certain book which did not consider the case of a distant empire when it was designed, and therefore the terrorism has no logical game theoretic explanation (unlike, say, the IRA).
> This, unless you are physically protesting (in a way that’s legitimately disruptive and not symbolic)

To be fair, protesting (even the legitimately disruptive kind) doesn't really do anything either. We had people from all sides of the political spectrum protesting everything during the last three years, and the world is pretty much exactly like it was in 2019.

Protesting is just "being angry, but outside".

This is a very loose association from someone coming from mathematical analysis background, maybe interesting for some people.

In analysis/topology you have this concept of a compact set. Compact sets are "small" - they are close (in a sense) to finite sets, and close (in another sense) to finite-dimensional sets, balls in infinite-dimensional Banach spaces are never compact, etc. (The notion of compactness is one of the most fundamental concept in mathematical analysis.) One of the famous fixed point theorems, Schauder fixed point theorem, asserts that a continuous mapping of a non-empty, compact and convex set has a fixed point. (This is a direct generalization of the Brouwer fixed point theorem, perhaps one of the two most well-known results of this type.)

Now, in 1930 Kuratowski introduced a so-called "measure of non-compactness" - a number saying "how far the given set is from being compact". (Since then, many similar notions were also examined.) There is a very cool family of fixed-point theorems of the type "Let X be some «nice» set and f:X → X some continuous mapping which transforms sets into «less non-compact» sets; then, it has a fixed point." (At least some of those theorems require the axiom of choice, btw. Also, Kuratowski had no idea about them AFAIK, his motivation to consider his measure was completely different.)

Just wondering if CS people have their way of measuring non-decidability of problems... (Probably yes.)

There are all kinds of interesting points to be made about this discussion.

The first is that historical revisionism and/or outright historical negationism are still a hot topic in 2023.

The other is that they're doing "opposition research" on each other, so they've clearly learned from the real players of the game.

The third is that apparently state actors are funding these manipulators, as hinted in the linked Taylor-Francis paper. It amazes me how dodgy even some diplomats are with their involvement in this kind of petty politics, and do they really believe that such politics have any influence?

The fourth is what the king of revisionism, Russia, is planning to do; apparently, they've already threatened Wikimedia Foundation with dubious lawsuits. I'd expect Роскомнадзор to soon ban the whole site.

It could be argued that the title is just plain wrong - this doesn't seem to be a problem with cloudflare as the title would imply, it is an issue caused by the user's ISP and other ISPs in their country blocking certain IP addresses for some reason or another.

In my social circle. Everybody who uses drugs, uses them recreationally. I personally do not partake in this.

Now there's a philosophical question about free will. I won't go into that as I don't think people have free will as the term is commonly understood.

But plenty of people use drugs with full knowledge of its effects. Whether this leads to their demise depends on their ability to self-regulate and optionally support networks.

But the reality is that the truth is somewhere in the middle. There are oppressed people and there are people pursuing self-gratification, and there are people who are in the overlap. So there's no one size fits all.

I stopped using their caching because they literally won't stop caching the old version of my site. It's just a Google Pages site and I have no idea how to get them to refresh their cache. But a year later they still return the old page. Just using DNS pass through rather than caching and the site works fine.

I have a massive collection of Mp3s and wav files on my phone... Have cultivated it for decades now. I rarely stream music because of ads and bandwidth throttling that my mobile data provider implements.

About 2 weeks ago, I heard Black Player (App), which already works in a very unexpectedly and illogically difficult and frustrating manner, started injecting ads into my normal music library. I may just need to charge up my old iPod from now on, it doesn't ever need weekly software updates for some strange reason like everything else.
Your logic is very flawed.
Let's assume for example that a criminal gang places hand grenades in kindergartens across America, and many children die as a result of playing with them, is it the children's fault?
You might say no, because children don't really know the dangers involved with explosives, but here's another example.

But let's say a criminal gang places tens of thousands hand guns in colleges across America. Students do know what guns are. In this scenario, I predict mass shootings will increase by a crazy amount, as well as suicides, etc.

Would you really blame the students? Sure, some of the blame rests on each person who picked up the gun, but THE MAJORITY of the blame goes to the person who enabled this.

I hope this example changes your view, because it's so strange you act as an apologist for a ruthless criminal gang, and is unwilling to admit that there's a larger picture.

I've been reading boringreport for few days now thanks! Here's some constructive feedback:

- The world section is super weird especially where important geopolitics are mixed in with "someone dies in a car crash in the UK".

- The web app is pretty bad for what could be much better off as a static text document. Expanding articles is unnecessary slow. Why do I have to wait 3 seconds to get 1 extra sentence and a link? Why abbreviate 3 sentences into half of a sentence at all? The full article also comes up at the bottom of the screen while locking out the rest of the app - trully weird. Honestly, it's not very usable at the current state.
This is nonsense. Safari adds major features in point releases: just look through some of https://developer.apple.com/documentation/safari-release-not... and see. Some of the biggest features get held for the next “major” number bump, certainly, but most point releases include at least as much as most major number bumps in Firefox or Chromium.

In my experience, people haven’t tended to use just “last two versions” with Browserlist: IE has normally been special-cased historically, and Safari has regularly been special-cased in some way, and Safari has actually been the salvation of the “last two versions” strategy because it dragged the baseline down to a more acceptable place, where “last two versions” of only Firefox and Chromium would regularly be disastrous. It has long been a really poorly-thought-out mechanism.

The other point you’re missing is user adoption. “At least one year” for Safari is one thing, but “five weeks” for everyone else is pretty crazy when you look at actual update statistics.

It was a completely foreseeable result of a very small minority's war on internet standards. First forcing everyone to use TLS, and then forcing everyone to use stronger forms of TLS that couldn't be inspected. Absolutely no fucks given about the many downsides, no alternatives considered.

What did they think countries were gonna do? Just give up governing? Did they really think a web browser was going to defeat an entire nation state's domestic and foreign policy?

Rather than allow the user to determine their own level of security and privacy, they forced the user to choose the strongest method, which of course forced governments to use more extreme measures to fulfill their legislative requirements. Rather than just spying on users or filter their traffic, now they outright just block the internet. Thanks internet standards paternalists! Having no internet is so much better than internet without privacy.

Complexity theory doesn't need to have practical applications to be exciting (though it has often led to such practical applications). Complexity theory explores the fundamental nature of computation: what is and isn't feasible. It's a window into how the universe works, and so it's exciting in the same way that, say, general relativity or quantum mechanics is.

I have gone for cheaper alternatives eg. $400 mid grade phone no contract, and PPP (which is not that great but cheaper way to get towards samsung dex). I know you can buy older samsungs and get dex that way.

The original $399 2016 iPhone SE got six years of OS updates and just got another security update last month.

The original 2016 Pixel Phone's support was dropped at the end of 2019.

I would not be shocked to see Apple support this year's iPhone for a decade since the RAM was just bumped up again, and RAM has been the traditional sticking point for getting more OS updates.
Yes, but Common Lisp is also "stupid dynamic"!

I don't think there's anything Python can do that Common Lisp can't in terms of dynamic-ness!

This is a quote from python.org:

>These languages are close to Python in their dynamic semantics, but so different in their approach to syntax that a comparison becomes almost a religious argument: is Lisp's lack of syntax an advantage or a disadvantage? It should be noted that Python has introspective capabilities similar to those of Lisp, and Python programs can construct and execute program fragments on the fly. Usually, real-world properties are decisive: Common Lisp is big (in every sense), and the Scheme world is fragmented between many incompatible versions, where Python has a single, free, compact implementation.

https://www.python.org/doc/essays/comparisons/

I believe there are dynamic things Common Lisp can do that python can't, like modifying and creating classes, inheritance and methods at runtime, even with effects propagating out to already existing class instances!
My wife's Nexus 6 would only play games at what appeared to be 2 fps unless hooked to a charger after three years. And those were just some 2D puzzle games, not COD, so I imagine other 2D apps were not running at full speed too but it was extremely apparent on games.

I'm not currently in the apple ecosystem at all, but am a long-time apple product user and have been on a first-name basis with hundreds of iPhone users since they came out. 100% of the awful statements and stances towards the android ecosystem or any of its constituents I've seen attributed to "apple fans" have come from people mad at apple and apple users. Zero percent– really— have I heard from actual Apple users.

One of the big selling points of iPhones is that if you have a phone released within 3 or 4 years, you don't have to think about the capabilities of your phone. At all. I'm not saying they're objectively better, it's just geared towards users who want their phone to get out of the way and do it's thing, and that's fine. If there's a trove of apple users somewhere that have strong opinions about Android phones, I've never encountered them.

I'll never understand why some people get so wrapped around the axle about phones.
