> I don't understand how a popular product like Reddit has so atrociously bad UI.

One of the third-party apps effected is Apollo, which is the vision of a single, talented iOS developer/designer who isn't beholden to investors and the whims of every other team and committee within a large org.
I'm just dividing revenue by number of users, and honestly trying to be a bit generous as a ballpark estimate. Most users are probably even less per year.
You seem to be replying to the wrong comment, I am not suggesting that people switch away from C.
Yes please. Flood the market, so that other better SBCs also have to compete on price again. :)
Before the pandemic I used to scan clearance items at Best Buy but the good deals disappeared when the pandemic hit.

Now I go in person to the local reuse center every week and pick up cool stuff like a $1200 speaker set for $120, minidisc players, etc.

I think sometimes of setting up YOShInOn, my smart RSS reader, to help scan for deals on craiglist (my wife is always looking for ag stuff like animals there) but that is just one thing on a large backlog.
Redditors are full of shit. So often, I’ll see a question where I actually know the answer, and the most popular responses are dead wrong.
In an industrial application you're likely to be using the Raspberry Pi Compute Module, which has an eMMC option. You also have the option of using an industrial SD card with one of the other Pis.

If you're using a Pi at home and need greater reliability, a quality portable SSD [0] will get you pretty far. The systems I run that way have always been quite fast and reliable.

(don't use an SATA to USB adapter if you can help it, they tend to be flaky and it's a very strange place in a home system to try and save a few bucks, even though a lot of people do it)

To me, it feels like people who don't align with the democrat agenda are more and more pushed out/vilified.

So, I certainly cant fault them for trying to build up a parallel economy.
The authors give the phrase “Wholeness quiets infinite phenomena” as a canonical example of bullshit. Well, that’s a terrible choice, because the statement is, classically, incredibly profound.

In the Pythagorean and Platonic tradition [1], harmony results from the limiting of the unlimited. Or, paraphrasing, “wholeness results from the quieting of the infinite.” Harmony~wholeness, unlimited~infinite, quieting~limiting.

“The mixture of elements from the Limited and Unlimited, in appropriate combination, produces a harmonious mathematical concord” [2]

Nobody claims that this statement is easy to understand. But do you really want to call bullshit on Plato and Pythagoras? That’s bold.

The units have paper filters on them and they have said that the very high static pressure means that laptops designed around them could start using external filters without hampering the performance like they would on existing laptop cooling solutions.

The LTT video quoted something like a 5+ year service life for the filters. That could probably be extended with disassembly and cleaning or potentially by replacing the filters which seem to basically just be a sticker that goes on top of the unit.

Keep in mind that when you're talking about the Ivys, they admit a tiny fraction of the people who apply and a huge number of people don't bother applying because (probably correctly) they don't think it's likely they'd get in.

Mea culpa. I got this as a notification when signing into RIF and noticed this actual reddit post from the RIF dev hadn't been posted. I should have looked for the story from other sources, thanks for the links!
Absolutely crazy that governments around the world want websites to pay to allow users to link to content. It's the kind of thing that makes no sense to anybody with a bit of technical education.
I agree - I did a fair amount of SAT tutoring, and there's no question in my mind that preparation improves performance. However, all preparation is basically the same - take a practice test and see what you need to improve, then learn like a dozen tricks (on a math question you should maybe try plugging in the answers and calculating rather than doing algebra, get a good night's sleep, bring two pencils, ...).

These resources are essentially free - there's not much that an in-person class teaches that isn't available in a test-prep book from the local library.

Now, you need to know the book exists, go to the library, check out that book, read it, and do the exercises. Having a parent pay for classes dramatically lowers that bar (they'll get you out of bed and into a tutoring classroom on a sunny summer Saturday), but, unlike virtually everything else on a resume, money can't actually buy you that much of an advantage on the materials available.

It seems to me that a good standardized test score is one of the only things that someone with a lot of motivation and talent, but very few resources, can use to distinguish themselves.
There is no "most" correct, since the "length" of UTF encoded text is ambiguous. The point of the post is to highlight which semantics are the most useful and the tradeoffs.

In what way is this a parallel economy? It seems more like advertising, to me.
You can and this is trivially verifiable.
It will be interesting to see what the enshitification process looks like for distributed/open source chat programs.
Gotta love the irony of reading news about news being blocked by news being blocked by a paywall.
That turns off the animation but leaves the time delay in place. E.g. if you have a text field selected in the target window, any typing you do won't register until the fade in—fade out animation completes (exact same behavior as with the option disabled, but with the fade animation instead of the slide animation).
This is an excellent and thought provoking article. It provides historical context on a concept that is timeless yet still not fully understood in the modern day.

My own take away from this article is difficult to state concisely. I see charisma in terms of dominance and submissiveness juxtaposed to activeness and passiveness. If we consider that an active-dominance is oppressive or authoritarian then we can see the object of that active-dominance as passive-submissive which maps onto our idea of victim or weakness. Contrast that to an active-submission which can be seen as worship or devotion and the object of the active-submission is the passive-dominance that this article calls charisma.

This formulation suggests that charisma appears as the result of worship/devotion which I have defined as an individual actively choosing to submit. I believe that is why understanding charisma is so elusive. You can't actively be charismatic because by definition the charismatic person is the object of submissive activity.

There was an effort to staple DANE proofs to TLS handshakes, but it failed: if you could suborn a CA, you could control the TLS handshake enough to stripe the DANE proofs out, and the whole point of the DANE proofs was to avoid trusting CAs.
> The prospect appealed to Sophia. “Nowadays, having a publication is kind of a given” for college applicants, she said. “If you don’t have one, you’re going to have to make it up in some other aspect of your application.”

This is just so foreign to me. Either that service has very convincing salespeople that have wormed into her brain or she's living in a very odd academic bubble.

I've met lots of college students and most of could barely write a coherent by the time they graduate from college. No way is "having a published paper" a pre-req for admission.
The context is often "Can someone buy themselves into a better college by paying for test prep?"

But yes. If only because of the time constraints of the test (and it's more than that), sitting down and taking the SAT cold would be really hard for most people without prior exposure to similar tests. Heck, I'm pretty sure I couldn't today. I'm guessing I would do pretty well on verbal but too much of the math would be way too far in the past. And I wouldn't have time to derive formulae even if I remembered enough first principles to do so.
So all programming languages are popular?
I think this is already happening, to some extent. Back in the day, all the smart folks would flock to a handful of top universities. But now, things are changing. The reliance on SAT and merit is decreasing, and universities are focusing more on DEI when admitting students. This means that the cream of the crop won't be concentrated in just a few elite schools anymore. As a result, companies will start looking beyond the usual suspects and consider a broader range of candidates when hiring.

Big fan of Moom. It adds light window snapping functionality that only reveals itself when I’m explicitly looking for it… no annoying snap-proposal animations or unintended snaps when I drag windows somewhere near a screen edge.

I'm curious, how is your toddler using the Photos app? I won't launch into a spiel about giving devices to young children as I'm not a parent myself and never will be (rainbow month yeeeah boi)

But I do find it interesting to compare with my own upbringing. Seems kids are given relatively unfettered access to phones/tablets these days, proper ones with a regular OS. I suppose the upside is learning/becoming familiar tech stuff sooner, downside as they enter tween/teen years is probably social media :(
I have a khadas. Use it for development. Not had any issues at all. It’s not laggy in ubuntu compared to pi4… more expensive tho but worth it.
No, this has nothing at all to do with hardware; the state of play is the same on machines that don't have instructions like RDRAND.
Notwithstanding the harsh rhetoric, Charlotte Garden, a professor at the University of Minnesota Law School who specializes in labor law, said the ruling “isn’t as bad as it could have been” for organized labor because it does not directly threaten the right to strike.

But it does. Strikes are already difficult. Workers need their salaries; that's why they work. Unions usually provide aid, but every dollar out of their coffers reduces their ability to support workers long enough for the strike to mean something.

Companies are more likely to have money. They can afford to spend time pursuing a lawsuit that the union can't afford to defend against.

A lot hinges on how people read "affirmative steps to endanger ... property". The company is claiming that the damage includes work that they couldn't do. The whole point of the strike is to disable the company's ability to work. If that's included, then strikes might as well not exist.

I can't speak to whether the wet concrete thing is reasonable or not. I don't know the situation, or construction. But it sounds as if they're giving companies a tool for breaking strikes, by searching around for anything they can call "damage" and forcing them to spend money defending that suit.

The curious thing is that Reddit is as valuable as it is because of what it gets from its users (free moderation, free user-submitted content.)
There's always been a sort of implicit agreement that it's a symbiotic relationship -- reddit provides the house/utilities, users provide the stuff, and mods do the clean up. Third-party devs were an extension of that -- making it easier to connect the parties.
Also check out my rcmd app (https://lowtechguys.com/rcmd) for more keyboard centric workflows.

It’s definitely not as powerful as Witch for windows/tabs but rcmd’s one-key approach is instant for app switching.

Witch has some ingenious features indeed: searching browser/editor/terminal tabs, lingering on an app to show its windows etc.

I wish Apple would allow this kind of functionality in App Store apps.
Not all of these are currently active but here are the distinct Pi's in my house.

- As another commenter mentioned, I used to have a Pi built into a NES for emulator purposes.
Google already serve ads to people according to their market segments, and they have long ceased promotion of their ‘don’t be evil’ moniker.
What you're describing just isn't what this game called "radiation hardening" is. It would be a different, also interesting game.

But "radiation hardening" challenges are common in code golf, and always (from challenges I've seen) framed in terms of character mutation.

One of the first things the author of the article does is breaks it down into the 5 code points and explains their individual meanings.
In the 90s it was the same behavior but in the opposite direction. Reaganism started taking a toll on the psyche of the burgeoning GenXers who were just getting into the marketplace and very non-conservative things like Nickelodean, hardcore rap/rock/grunge/alternative, Beavis and Butthead, and other pop-culture shifted hard against it. Many companies followed suit providing products that suited that generation.

The market works. It will follow the buyers.
> I'm not a fan of "everything you know about X is wrong" articles.

But it’s not. That style is about tone and the article doesn’t exude that kind of tone.

Do you see the author scolding programmers for being ignorant Americans, for having unknown unknowns, or for not being “professionals”? Well, me neither.
KDE is so close to getting the best of both worlds out-of-box for Linux users. I highly recommend it to anyone who has a Magic Trackpad-heavy workflow (and it's probably why KDE is the default on Asahi).

- 4 finger swipe up is an overview for all desktops

- 4 finger swipe down is an overview for all windows

- 3 finger pinch does the MacOS-style desktop overview with your other desktops at the top

All of the gestures are 1:1 with the trackpad, and are functionally very useful. It feels a little cobbled together in current builds, but I'm hoping it gets extra attention with KDE6: https://youtu.be/aBEsxTVRsEo?t=100
Object Pooling is pretty straightforward and is also effective for non-GC environments.
Oh wow, thanks for pointing it out. It’s now clicking for me.

A few months back, I noticed that there were some accounts posting issues on open source repositories, but their issues were a direct copy/paste of mine. I couldn’t figure out why they would copy/paste my issue so I dismissed it.

Now it makes sense!

I would have liked to see more numbers in this article. Have any of these brands gone public or released revenue figures? What's the highest valuation in the tech space? Which brands are squaring up best from their 'mainstream' counterparts?

I can only imagine these were omitted because they are unimpressive. Still, I've often wondered if beating the conservative/republican drum loudly could be leveraged into wealth.
The (far) right already has its own, often nonsensical, version of truth, and everything else flows from that. When they encounter something that is contrary to their truth, they reject or avoid it, requiring an alternative that is consistent. Fox News is the obvious example but it naturally just keeps on spreading. It's not by accident that conservative talk shows mostly sell miracle cures in their advertising.
They mention that permits would require a sustainable water source other than groundwater. What would such a source be? Surely any water collection system would be preventing water from reaching the water table (intuitively, I am not an expert)?

It's a negative contribution. Do you feel the same way about someone preaching political propoganda in a church, business, school, etc. that you aren't a member of simply because "every single thing is political?" And can't we agree that OP's post is not political? Or if it is, the degree is orders of magnitude less than the map of contiguous counties belonging to one party?

It seems to me that "everything is political" is just a way to provide cover for pushing partisan viewpoints places.
> int is 32 bits with no sign bit or anything like other Lisp implementations do

This seems potentially confusing, since usually "int" just refers to a signed integer of some platform specific size.

Maybe it would be better to say something like, "int is like uint32_t, 32 bits and no sign bit without any additional data"?

I'm not sure how a technical education plays into what's ultimately not a technical issue.
If you're only looking to store a small amount of data then writable discs (CD, DVD, etc) are still easily available. Just make sure to keep them out of direct sunlight as that can affect their long-term readability.

If you need to store a larger volume of data then you'll probably be looking at tape of some form of hard disk/SSD.

Either way you can reduce the risk of loss by having a regular process of copying the old data to new media and keeping both the old and new media - that way if one copy of your data fails you'll still have other copies that you can use.
I assure you we don't feel like we align with "the democrat agenda" either. Rainbow capitalism and corporate pandering are small consolation in the face of book bans and the stripping away of already-pitiful medical care access.
If you're just using it as a simple SBC, OrangePi may be a good option... but the hardware support with drivers and whatnot is, to my knowledge, far superior on Raspberry Pi's thanks largely to the Broadcom chipset (vs the Rockchip stuff). For many applications where it's used to do hardwarey things, it may not be a substitute.

If you're just using it to run Home Assistant, or some server application, then sure the OrangePi is probably better.
I've used to run my it in my miata, until I've moved to Haltech. Given what it's worth speeduino is a killer in terms of price to performance. IIRC I've moved because speeduino being based on ATMega, doesn't allow for high resolution tables, and overall it's quite basic. My friend used to run megasquirt and while it had more features according to him megasquirt was harder to setup right than speeduino
And yet, even with that, Yann Collet credits Google's use of C++ for the compression library as a critical mistake that allowed him, an unknown, to gain traction with his own compression methods. Google later rewrote their library in C:

https://overcast.fm/+LfVPHmBTo

Even if the tool chain exists, it must be adopted, unless you can rely on binaries being available for your end users, which will never be the case for a library which is just starting our. And adding another dependency to your build process, especially one as complex and with as many breaking version changes as C++, is a lot of work to take on.

That doesn’t seem like a fair read at all. If seeing two men on a cereal box makes you go and buy gun-themed coffee, it’s not because you find politics categorically annoying.
I think it goes beyond politics and into people's morality - many, many folks in the US do not agree with gender fluidity, "sex positive", homosexuality in minors, etc and they are leaving brands, media, etc that support this.
As with most problems in the world, we're being failed by our sluggish, corrupt governments voted for by apathetic, distracted citizens in an endless downward spiralling cycle of more corrupt, more distracted, more corrupt, more distracted.
