Someone should do a Linux phone that scales way back:

1. you can dial phone numbers somehow

2. you can talk on the phone

3. you can hear the person on the other line

4. the cell reception on the phone is decent quality

5. antenna is properly placed for very good reception

6. basic SMS works, all the time

7. has been extensively tested to work with a single carrier, any other carrier is no warranty

8. boot time and shutdown time are so small that it opportunistically shuts down instead of suspend

9. bonus goal: contacts, can maybe play snake

Librem 5 fails #5 and #8 (and can't really succeed at #8 unless you just drop into a command line, but then you wouldn't be able to input phone numbers). I've read some reports that #1, #2, and #3 have improved enough to be usable. On #7, they offer a bundle with a simcard for a carrier that was tested with the phone. (Doubt it was extensively tested, though.)

Of the little I've read about Pinephone and Pinephone Pro, they've had problems with #3, #6, and #7, and #8.

Overall, however, both appear as a smartphone complete with messaging and browsers. But Librem 5 can't do hardware acceleration for Firefox ESR (because the etnaviv driver doesn't have recent enough OpenGL features for webrender to work).

Pinephone is too slow to browse.

I'm not sure about Pinephone Pro (though I'd be quite surprised if it passes the Firefox webrender tests).

I'd much prefer a much more basic device that gets all the basics right, and then be pleasantly surprised that I can play mp3s on it, too.
Bit tweaking is always fun. I have the need to implement a long bit array spanning multiple words recently and it gets surprisingly non-trivial quickly, especially dealing with subranges or searching for the next 0 or 1 bit from a starting position. But it's still loads of fun.
Ireland has very low corporation tax, but quite high personal tax. That's why so many major companies are here.

I think a better comparison would be the operating costs of Wikipedia/Wikimedia [0]

I think non-profit versions of social media can easily happen from a financial standpoint. The big issue would be adoption.

It’s a topic I’m very interested in! A very eye-opening comment I have seen on HN was this: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4190252

> It helps me to remember that in Smalltalk the idea was to always have <view|controller> pairs. They were always the same object split in two; each view had its own controller and vice versa. The controller is supposed to be input-oriented and the view is supposed to be output-oriented

Another commenter here put it nicely: your “whole application” is the model. The view-controller pair over could be one for a terminal, or a website, or a desktop app, the model should be reusable. A controller isn’t, handling a click on something doesn’t make sense in a terminal.

For recent events, you could look at stuff how VSCode is supposedly Open Source and yet fully ridded with spyware and also propietary plugins...

On github, having MS at the realm has certainly affected too how DMCA's and such are deal with vs the old Github.

Hi folks, I'm the founder and CEO at Render. With this raise, the company is doubling down on making the cloud delightful for growing software teams who don't want to think about infrastructure.

We're looking for great people to join our team! See render.com/careers for all open roles.
Just for clarification (because I had to look it up) a picogram is 10^-12 grams.
Or we're very used to all of this and are relatively fine migrating to the next new place that is still in the "pretending to be good" phase. A social network isn't a bank or a house. I'm not using it with the assumption that I'll grow old and die still using it. When Discord gets bad, I'll move to something else. Or if Matrix or whatever else comes along and is a good option, I'll move to it just like I moved to Discord from TeamSpeak and the dying forum I was on.
This comment is rude.
Please revisit site guidelines.

Requirement and sufficiency are very different things.
There were a lot of early typewriters that experimented with interchangeable type wheels, shuttles, and sleeves. Hammond and Blickensderfer are two of the better-known brands among collectors, but here's a whole list: https://www.officemuseum.com/typewriters_single_element.htm
Most large subreddits use AutoModerator and bots that remove posts or filter them for moderator review. Filtered posts are visible to the poster, from the poster's profile, or by moderators. Also, Reddit's spam filter automatically quarantines posts/comments which contain link shorteners and some other sites. None of these systems are apparent to end users unless your post is filtered or removed.

Here are some concrete examples of automatic post removals from my sub.

• Autoplaying Videos - e.g. TikTok

• Short Posts - e.g. discussions under 10 characters in length

• Vague Bodies - e.g. all emojis or punctuation, "lol", "see title", "this", "ty"

• Vague Titles - e.g. all emojis or punctuation, "Looking for...", "THIS", etc.
That would require some interaction between the chemicals, that potentiates their effect. Or they act through common pathways.

But if the threshold effect is 1 microgram, and you're exposed to 1 picogram of 10 different chemicals all working through the same pathway, you're still below the threshold effect.
The reality in 2023 is all software is unbaked software. All software is buggy, frustrating, and almost-broken to the point of almost-unusable. There is simply nothing else, and we all navigate through this dystopic universe by finding software that are tolerably frustrating for each of us. The threshold is different for everyone. Reddit is buggy as hell and experiences downtime most weeks. I'm sure Lemmy has bugs too, but it's all about whether the trade-off makes sense for a critical mass of people. We will see.
It's never even occurred to me not to do this. I wonder if that's just because I grew up on the internet before geolocation methods were widespread/good.
Back in the early 1990s I typed my papers on a Smith-Corona typewriter with a daisy-wheel (Smith Cornoa called them "printwheels" but same thing.
>In a way more similar to yours, I have planned an escape valve for myself should I come close to committing suicide.

I like this phrasing. I had a similar revelation when I realized I had the power to abandon everything and "join the circus" before enacting a more permanent solution. Just knowing it is a "plan B" helps avoid feeling trapped and powerless.

I think this feeling of choice and power really helps for some people depressed with their circumstances, but who fundamentally like themselves. Unfortunately, It it isn't a simple fix for everyone and I have to keep this in mind when talking about it with others. If someone's fundamental issue is self-loathing, then running away to join the circus doesn't help because their problem follows them wherever they go.
So much skimming here eh. The whole trip can take 8 days, from launching on a ship to take you out to sea. The actual dive itself is supposed to be 12 hrs from “bolts on” pre dive to “bolts off” getting out of the sub. 8 hrs underwater, not 8 days.
It doesn't matter, the only difference between Nadella era and Ballmer or Gates era is marketing. It's the same Microsoft that it's always been.

We left AWS for a similar reason and more. The grass always looks greener on the other side, especially when you are mad.
Buying a Mullvad scratch card is probably the most practical anonymous method. Usually the fact that you are using Mullvad at all isn't a secret (your ISPs can see you connecting), so outside of a very overcomplicated scenario where Amazon/$yourlocaltechstore are colluding with Mullvad to track individual scratch cards, it's fine.

Mailing cash in an anonymous envelope has a certain charm, but OTOH I have consistently had terrible experiences with the Swedish postal service and that seems to be a widespread opinion.
It's far from perfect, but in my experience, it's much better than both ChatGPT and Bard. I've also used it to ask non-technical questions, and it often generates a good response, so not really just "for developers".
> That wouldn't correlate with smaller lifespan and worse health outcomes for people with less social contact pretty consistently observed

You didn't filter for "friend noticed there was something physically wrong and got them to go to a doctor". Plenty of people's lives have been saved, or have been made healthier, because of such interventions.
I have been running CalyxOS on a Pixel 6a for 6 months and I'm very happy with it. It does everything I need and found no big annoyances so far. A minor issue is MyFitnessPal not reading barcodes but that's it.
> If sketchy drugs are the only ACTUAL way to get the 3/4ths of the country to lose weight and be healthier, shouldn't we try it?

Well the thing is, I actually am super skeptical that eating explosive poison is healthier than being a fatty. I am way more optimistic for wegovy and other hunger-regulating hormone treatments that don't seem to cause you to die from overheating, and I'm all for fat people taking them if it helps them be healthier. But like, I'd rather a fat person stay fat and work on doing runs (even though exercise doesn't help much in losing weight, exercise is still good for fat people) than change nothing about their lifestyle besides eating poison. Skinny isn't always == healthy and shouldn't be treated like an "at any costs" measure. A great way to lose 25% of your body weight is to chop off a leg, but chopping off legs is obviously a stupid way to get healthy.
Many larger cities still have one or two typewriter repair shops, or business machine shops that handle electric typewriters! You can also ask on the GolfballTypewriterShop group on Facebook.
What’s half baked about it?
Tech type people that previously found a massive value in producing simple scripts probably wouldn't like this. It erases the value of the skills they developed.

Only a professional programmer is insulated from this obsolescence.

I am sympathetic to the fact that low-knowledge tech workers had their value erased over night. I don't have any solutions for this problem.
William Gibson gets credit for it, but he tells people he retweeted it from one of his followers according to the story I read. You're welcome.
>And every time someone from management sent an email or tried to have a zoom I'd have a hard time not asking in the zoom why it wasn't an in person meeting?

I love this as malicious compliance in RTO workplaces. Brilliant.
We do that, but we're joking.
Anyone have a sense of their revenue/valuation? Would be interesting to get a calibration as we've seen relatively fewer raises lately.
Humans are just a collection of experiences that are using past data to make future assumptions. So yes, thank you Mr. Caveman because of your ingenuity of using a rock and a stick to create a hammer, we now have a full modern society built off the back of tools. But that seems ridiculous doesn’t it?

So at what point do we stop attributing the previous innovations that led to our current innovations? And why do we stop there? Would Mr. Caveman be the only special human to ever figure that out or could the argument be made that eventually someone else would have figured out how to make tools and therefore attribution is just pointless?

What I am trying to get at is, everything you do or create, is because of work the all of humanity has done. So pertaining to copyright, why should 1 single person claim an idea as solely theirs when that idea was not created in a vacuum.

I should also say, I am not discounting anyone’s work, but rather if the monetary reasons for creating became secondary, would the need for copyright even exist?

Same, love Kagi. I think the biggest surprise for me was that it is getting frequent improvements.

I'm so used to Subscriptions being just a drain. You "buy" the product, and then you pay just to keep using it. Which can feel, emotionally, a bit unappetizing because i'd rather just purchase it fully. The subscription just feels like a money sink with no added value.

Conversely i've not had that opinion with Kagi. Not only am i happy with the product, but the frequent[1] improvements[2] make me feel like i'm buying something newer and better each month.

Developments on FastGPT, increasing what i get for my dollar, integration of more features in general. I frankly assume i just joined at a good time, because this pace can't keep up.. right lol? Regardless my Kagi subscription has felt like i'm getting more value each month. From other companies i'd feel lucky to get these advancements, and if i did i'd expect it to cost me more. "5 new features? Welp, i guess i get to buy a Pro subscription tier to access it" or w/e, is what i'd expect.

Really can't praise Kagi enough.

[1]: within the last couple months, at least, as i'm new to the product and have only been subscribed for 2 months.

The resilient services are those that occupy a non-gimmicky niche. I’ll explain the difference between a real niche and a contrived or gimmicky one.

For example, YouTube is the video site. That’s its niche.

TikTok occupies a more gimmicky niche; short-form videos with a gazillion little features to make it more fun. People may (will) eventually get tired of it. The funny thing is they may move to a service with a very similar offering but with a different style and gimmicks.

The ones that don’t fill a niche at all are also less resilient following this thinking, though other factors like being utterly entrenched (facebook) may keep them around a long time.

Another site that fills a real niche well is Instagram. It’s the pictures site. It’s nice to just scroll and see pictures, though they’ve diversified with reels and video content (which may actually be a bad idea in the long run).

Another classic example of a gimmicky niche service was Vine, though I preferred that to TikTok (which I don’t use aside from having played with it for a week).

I’m not saying that non-niche services can’t last, but niche services definitely have inherent advantage for longevity because they fill a simple need and it’s hard or not constructive even for challengers to differentiate.
I obviously can't relate entirely, but I have bulked up to 220 for weight lifting and subsequently cut down to 165 for rock climbing and my stomachs capacity would swing wildly based on input. Think 8 hot dogs and buns easily at 220 to now where I get uncomfortable after half a burrito.

I also think going from an in shape 220->165 was way harder than going from obese->healthy. It involved cannibalizing tons of muscle instead of fat, and your body will fight to preserve muscle.

It wasn't no ice cream and soda, it was only having one plain hard boiled egg instead of two, pounding celery and sparkling water to fend off nighttime hunger, freaking out because I only poop once a week, having no energy or motivation and squashing philosophical doubts about the meaning of life.

If I can do it just to climb rocks easier it feels realistic for obese people to do it to improve their health.
The OP here is using Azure Blob Storage, which is essentially Azure's S3 competitor. Like S3, it accepts the Range header.[1] (I'm presuming Blob Storage was modeled after S3, frankly. The capabilities and APIs are very similar.)

Similarly, GCP Cloud Storage appears to also support the Range header[2].

A fork of what? If you run your own instance you have control over most of those features and limits. You can’t fork a service because what you’re getting from a service is not just the code. It’s the cheaper economy of scale operational aspects of it. It’s much cheaper to pay a SaaS provider, than to have someone on payroll that manages an open alternative of that SaaS for you. The SaaS provider can then introduce arbitrary plans and limits all they want. Do you want to start another company that resells Gitlab hosting that competes with Gitlab.com?

The VSCode situation could be improved but isn't there VSCodium to remediate that?

Might be an android thing, but the reddit app keeps malfunctioning for me. For example, very common behavior is that I click on a post, and nothing happens. I click on the post again, nothing happens. I start scrolling, and after 30-60s, the post I clicked on finally opens twice (so to get out of it, I have to press "back" twice).

The Reddit app, for me, is garbage. I am surprised it's not better; it feels like the devs aren't really using it.
Microsoft earns a significant amount of money from hosting Linux servers and even makes contributions to the kernel.

Outrageously expensive to repair sure (though which car isn’t these days, my corrolla got into a fender bender and fixing the bumper was north of $1000), but I’m talking about always in the shop due to shoddy construction. Afaik that doesn’t really apply to teslas.
I wonder whether Reddit C-suite are thinking exactly like this and that's what's causing these misguided decisions.

Apologies, I'm not up to date in this space, so probably a stupid question but how does this differ to docker compose?

My understanding of the value of codespaces was instant start up, literally zero to download locally, and centralised definition. Does this mean I would go back to have to downloading everything locally, albeit in a nice sandboxed package with a neat definition language and convenient command?
Slightly lower cost of living ($1.9k rent vs. $3.3k) doesn't make it a no brainer when the median Tampa dev will make $106k against the median SF Bay Area dev at $231k.

Last I checked Elm was getting negative publicity not because of the language itself (heard a lot of good things about that) but because of the leadership?

I'm a regulatory consultant and I am currently submitting at least 5-10 510ks/DeNovos per week to FDA for AI/ML devices for a variety of companies. I can't imagine the actual throughput from companies as I am just one person out of many consultants out there. 95% of the software devices I edit and submit are hosting their databases on AWS. Essentially they transer the DICOM images to AWS and then run their algorithms against the data and then present the indications to the physcian. These run the range of CT/MRI/Ultrasound/pathology slides/genomic sequencing. Like I said, most of the databases are on AWS. A few are on Azure and a few european companies are on Orange.
> that would be the same thing as banning farming in the California desert.

Which wouldn't be the worst thing. Recognizing that the true cost of farming in the desert makes it uneconomical isn't the same as banning farming in general.
Generally, when you see a package asking you to install it globally with `npm -g i`, you can install it locally with `npm i` and then run it with `npx`. Requesting global installation is either an expression of ego or the author is a Python refugee.
The additional issue for Hyundai that most other EVs aren't dealing with is that the Supercharger v3 hardware can't match eGMP's pack voltage.

Until Tesla has widely installed v4 chargers in the US the charging experience for Hyundai (and Kia and Genesis) vehicles would be much slower than it is on Electrify America.
Any platform will experience growing pains when their userbase increases dramatically. Even Reddit was frequently crashing when it acquired Digg's users, and still does from time to time.

I for one I'm very glad federated platforms are starting to pick up steam, and willing to weather the glitches. It feels like a return to the old Internet, where users had the control instead of a handful of megacorporations and investors/stockholders.
All of these studies come to the very obvious conclusion that a good hood fan, that vents outdoors, isn’t optional. The scary numbers, as in this study, come from not using a hood fan, with “good hood fan” numbers being somewhat negligible.

I think a good middle ground (since you can’t ask everyone to rewire their homes for electric) would be some sponsored program to install heat detecting hood fan switch, so they can’t be left off by mistake.
