If rain destroys your phone that is just plain incompetence from the design department. Or rather, they were not incompetent, but other forces made sure they were not paying much attention to water resistance.

My wettest experience with a smartphone was when I got surprised by heavy rain when walking to the hair dresser. I arrived soaking wet. Got the phone (a HTC Desire Z) out of my pocket, water was running out of it. I opened the battery lid, the hairdresser blew with the hairdryer for a couple of minutes and all was fine.
Side comment: I just got the Normandy 2.0 map for DCS World, a PC flight simulator, which models 1940s English channel with northern France and southern England. Last night I flew across London, then down to the (7 sisters?) cliffs. Absolutely gorgeous rolling fields, buildings, factories etc - and a ticking Big Ben clock.

The biggest difference from the modern world as seen through Flight Simulator is in verticality, with the large body of buildings being relatively low, and perhaps materials - no massive walls of glass present at all.

They've done some stellar work on this - https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/shop/terrains/norm... .

> you don’t stop at 40 hours a week because you think it is optimal for the work, but rather because you are balancing it against something else that you find equally important.

...or because we're social creatures and tend to stick to well-established norms, for all sort of reasons (mostly good, not always). 40-hour weeks are arguably a relatively recent norm at that.

Whatever socially established norm we come up with as the number of hours one is typically expected to work in a full-time job, it's not likely to be the maximally-productive number for every worker, and those like Carmack almost certainly can and do achieve more working much longer hours. But there does seem to be good evidence that for larger samples of workers, reducing from a 40-hour week to 32 or similar doesn't have much of a measurable impact on output (which implies productivity per hour worked has actually gone up considerably).
And, arguably more importantly, workers that have taken part in such programs generally report improvements in their health, sense of self-worth, "happiness" etc. On that basis I'm definitely in favour of revisiting the expectation that a full-time job is ~40 hours a week, and understanding what can be done to help corporations and employees transition to fewer hours.

I actually think the harder problem is: should we extend the current concept of a weekend to be 3 days, or should we accept that the "3rd" rest day each week is different for everyone. I'm generally in the latter camp (*), for various reasons, but I could persuaded that a 3-day weekend, where a significant % of all workers across all industries (including, e.g. schools) all take the same 3 days off each week, has greater benefits.

* strictly speaking I'm in the camp of moving to a 4.5 day week, whereby every worker is expected to negotiate a half-day they won't be available each week with their employer.

> As someone not familiar with the filesystem related parts of the kernel, it's quite surprising to hear this. It sounds like filesystems are a lot more integrated (or at least less modular) than other kernel subsystems.

AFAIK, on Linux filesystems are closely coupled with the memory management subsystem and the directory and inode caches. It's part of the reason why filesystem access on Linux is so fast.

> But other than that issue, I don't really understand why it's difficult to simply rip out support for a specific filesystem. Compared to something like a driver for a PCIe or USB device, what makes filesystems so much more integrated and difficult to remove?

It's not that unusual for users to have a partition containing a filesystem (sometimes, but not always, on an external drive) surviving unchanged through several migrations to newer Linux distributions and/or hardware. Compared to something like a PCIe or USB device, filesystems have a longer life.

What are you referring to here? Nuclear power has not been shut down here in Finland to my knowledge.

There have been times when production has been scaled down because there is temporarily excess energy available, when it is windy (turbines produce more) and warm (warming uses less), but that is a temporary situation.

> If that number is correct, the FSBO market is twice the size of the largest real estate company.

That's the most apples & oranges thing I've read in a long time

I recently used a real listing agent that I paid a flat fee of $500 to and they got the listing on the MLS given I filled out the forms and provided pictures (hired a photographer for $200). I was fine just having the MLS as the marketing vehicle as buyer's would find it without any marketing at all. It worked and saved 6%-$700 which on this particular property was about $35,000. (Oh I did do my own negotiating as a seller, but they offered to do that for an added flat $ fee that I don't remember)

I think that's the model for this. Don't try to create a FSBO market, try to find a RE agent that does above in every market and create a network of that type of service. Then you can skim a fee off at some point from either the agent, seller, buyer, or anyone else.

"dangerous levels of mismanagement would only occur in a postapocalyptic setting."

I know it's not your argument, but based on what exactly?

Accidents (repeatedly) happen. I don't get where this concept comes from that accidents are suddenly "delusional". If you don't believe me go check your home house fire rate. Accidents are frequent, safety controls just help reduce frequency. There is nothing delusional here, other than the idea we can suddenly obviate accidents.

> There’s only one server, and it’s the only way to realistically run the code.

That seems a bit extreme. On the other hand, where a complete build and tests take excessive amount of time, running everything by everyone would be similarly bad.

Maybe the optimum is in between. Quick checks with a reasonable chance to catch frequent problems by everyone, long-running rarely failing checks centralized.
GitHub Takes Down Cloudstream APK Code Repo Following MPA Complaint
Without a deeper understanding of what the nature of the API is, and how many requests are needed to service a given use case, the comparison doesn’t mean much.

That is pretty nuts for a free app, how many people would pay for that?
By referring to arbitrage as “games” OP’s comment has poisoned the well for this entire chain of responses. So to get an understanding, first we need to fix.

A “game” implies non-productive or zero sum.

By definition, an arbitrage is not that. Any arbitrage is the result of an inefficiency in prices or the economy.

When someone arbitrages prices back to where they should be, they are performing a service that everyone else benefits from, and are rightly compensated for this. Now, are finance people compensated too much for correcting price discrepancies? If yes, then that’s another arbitrage opportunity!

But the question of what would be substantially different is easy. No arbitrage = no markets = top-down command economy. Check out North Korea, Cuba, USSR, the former Yugoslavia, etc. for what would be different.

> because you finished in one hour what should have taken all day

How do you know that it should have taken all day?

Who said that it should've taken 1 day? Was it your own estimation, your manager's, or Scrum Master's ;) Maybe the same or similar task took 1 day in the past?

Even if you really got lucky on one task in the project by saving 7 hours, you might got bitten and stuck on another one, which will take weeks more than was estimated.

Software time estimation isn't an exact science, and it's more like statistics, i.e. you need lots of datapoints, and look at them in the aggregate (e.g. run Monte Carlo simulation).
No I’m talking about the port in the phone where you plug the cable in.

With lightening the cable side is the fragile part, with usb-c the male part of the connection is inside the phone’s socket. This is the fragile part of the usb-c connection.

It makes more sense for the fragile part to be on the cable rather than the phone itself because the phone is more expensive and would need a repair but the cable is cheap enough that you can replace it.

Other than this though, usb-c is far superior to lightening with better data speed and power delivery.
Your computation is very wrong, as explained in the actual research paper and in another comment here. The water is not moved only from under the ground to the surface and the effect on the axis is not due to raising, but mainly to horizontal movement.
"pick a few fixed sizes and handle the rest by rounding down then a few steps of insertion sorting."

I'm late to the party, but this sounds a lot like quadsort's small array handling:

Sort 4, 8, or 16 elements using unrolled parity merges, and handle the rest with insertion sorting.

An unrolled parity merge can be viewed as a stable sorting network. I never added unstable sorting networks to crumsort due to wanting to keep the code size low, and perhaps the mistaken idea that it would reduce adaptivity, as crumsort is likely to scramble partially sorted input.

Don't get me wrong, I'm sure it's mentally exhausting, but I can't help but feel like pieces like these are intentionally trying to create hype for hype's sake. Just by basic understanding of how human metabolism works, these players would need to be eating an absurd amount, or losing an absurd amount of weight each tournament. That's nearly half of what a powerlifter eats each day. Not to mention that the sheer amount of heat your body would give off burning through that many calories. The only believable number given in that article is the claim that Russian grandmaster Mikhail Antipov burned 560 calories in 2 hours of intense chess, which doesn't even come close to scaling to the claimed 6000 calories/day figure given the amount of time these guys play every day during a tournament.

> There have been times when production has been scaled down because there is temporarily excess energy available, when it is windy (turbines produce more) and warm (warming uses less), but that is a temporary situation.

This is what I meant, excuse my wrong wording, implying that you could shut down a reactor just like that only because the prices for energy doesn't justify to keep it running at all. Something which is quite nice to have these days with all those cheap renewable energies producing that "excess" energy.
But… all of the things you mention, like much in life, are susceptible to misinterpretation.

Do you know, or does it just appear that way to the best of your knowledge. The black/blue, or white/gold, dress is a good example of seeing something doesn’t make it true, or false.

The much bigger, much more critical, secret is knowing someone did something because you, or more likely someone under your direct command, was involved in the action. In which case the secret is the culpability more than the action itself.
You could certainly make all kind of files. Dying creates a solid ven overlap between "will happen" and "good to be prepared for" for all people. Your scenario really only applies to the tiniest amount of people and is probably only worth your time to think about, if you have special insight into why that's probably you.
Also you should fill your database with houses - use AI or some sort of random data generator to generate them and just make sure there's a small but clear note on the listing saying this is AI data. It's not ideal but it is better than an empty database. Give people something to look at.

This genuinely made my stomach turn. If this is the future… I don’t know if I want in.
Even if it's part of the training data and the LLM is just a better search engine, how would I have figured out what the code does without an LLM? I certainly can't paste this into Google.

There's always a cost involved. The printing press reduced the cost by orders of magnitude, just as the internet did -- but it's not free, even if it might seem virtually free compared to how much things cost before.

The idea that New Technology is harming us isn't new and it's mostly wrong. It's cheaper for the bigot to share his ideas and it's cheaper for others to share counter-ideas, whether it's via the printing press, the telegraph, the telephone, radio, television, the tape recorder, e-mail, USENET, the world-wide web, social media, etc.

There's _less_ cost and risk with each advancement, but that doesn't mean _no_ cost and risk.

Consider e-mail spam, which is really really cheap to send but it still isn't free. Notably, spamming larger volumes adds some economy of scale but also introduces new costs and risks because the larger volume makes it easier for folks to identify and block the spammer.

Most of the things you list aren't physical copies anymore, or at least the physical version holds little value.

It may depend on where you live, but as soon as you're registred as dead, most things will get handled automatically, more or less. Copies of keys and a list of accounts and passwords might be a good idea. It took two years for people to stop wishing a deceased friend of mine happy birthday on Facebook every year.

The issue I see is: Here would you put such a file? In a safe... where would you put the combination? You need somewhere that will be release to next of kin, or some trusted part at after death... So a safety deposit box is a good option, so no need to put the keys to that in there.

One really important thing: If you're married, ensure that your spouse have an account in their name, and their name only. The bank will freeze all shared accounts until everything has been sorted, leaving your spouse without access to debit cards and funds in general.

Content-addressability means you don't need any infrastructure. You should be able to distribute code over IPFS for example.

There is no need for a central repository of any kind. Anyone can ship their own version of a library or program and there are no conflicts because they all have different content ids.

Unison language authors simply need to publish a hash of their latest release, and distribute the hash to users through any medium. Users can then retrieve the entire code base from its hash.

At least, this should be the goal, and content-addressability makes this feasible.
