> I wonder whether online discussion is at the source of this, but I doubt it. Perhaps this is something for sociologists to ponder over. We have have access to more information than at any point in history, but it seems like our knowledge (and empathy) haven't grown by the same amount.

I agree, there it likely a lot more here that I’ve overlooked. I certainly believe that online echo chambers are part of it, but I do acknowledge it’s only part of the story.

As for a Putin-free Russia, this terrifies me because of the fact that in a dictatorship-like regime, higher level people who push back or don’t exclusively give good news and information to the ruling parties are often ousted or happen to fall out of windows at a most inconvenient time, which creates a class of yes-men/women who are either puppets or vultures that will swoop in and attempt taking control if their leader falls. Further, the brain-drain they have been experiencing over the years has now that had been accelerated by this war, leaving not a lot people left (proportionally) in the class of educated citizens. This hallowed out Russia will become a husk where the propaganda machine will continue to spew absolute garbage for years to come rotting whatever is left of its population’s minds. A developing theory I have is that Lukashenko’s diplomacy with Wagner and Russia is simply an attempt to position him to be able to take over Moscow when he senses its fractured enough but I also think he’s lacks the stones to do so.

These lawsuits are class action suits, aren't they?

Looking at the two PDFs embedded at the bottom of the The Verge article, they both say "class action" on the first page, and they say the three plaintiffs are suing "on behalf of themselves and all other similarly situated".
Another option would be to add more statuses. When a comment gets enough flags, it gets "[flagged]" added to the top of it. Perhaps something like "[you flagged]" could help.

Why the snarky comment?
Yeah absolutely. Every time I’ve been in my local Apple Store, I’ve basically been talked out of purchasing, or it becomes a huge hassle of upselling and extra worrying charges, and quite frankly, stupidity and lack of knowledge from the pseudo-smart staff. All they can do is toe the party line and what they’ve been trained to say and do, which kind of falls apart when faced with someone who has used Apple computers and products for some 25 years now. Most recently I walked in and basically said “I would just like to buy this phone right now” when I wanted an iPhone Pro Max in a rush, and the hassle that I got led to me walking out and going to John Lewis (uk department store) next door, where I said “I would like to buy an iPhone Pro Max” and had one in my hands 90 seconds later and was paying for it, at £60 cheaper than Apple.

Apples pricing structure is also annoying nowadays too. As soon as one specs out and bumps a laptop, one suddenly finds that they may as well get a different laptop, ie once you bump up a MacBook Air, you may as well just buy a Pro, until all of a sudden your £999 purchase idea has turned into £3000 and a debate about AppleCare.

These scientists need to get over it and work around it.

This article frames the problem as if the value proposition of the science and the satellites is remotely similar. This couldn’t be farther from the truth. Satellite telecommunication is greatly improving life on earth. Astrophysics, not so much. Just last week there was a front page HN article about how satellites may replace undersea cables for niche use cases. Starlink is just a major player in the space. This article is trying to utilize Musk’s negative reputation to its own end. The truth of the article would have been much clearer if it simply mentioned Starlink as an example.

There’s something to be said for satellites making true immersion in “natural beauty” impossible. Making that out to be negative is a matter of perspective. Frankly, I think it’s selfish to wish to hinder the massive gains in utility for humanity satellites bring.

I do wonder how considering the iphone battery on iFixit costs $64AUD which doesn't even include the adhesive to reapply the screen. If you got one of ebay or similar, it's not a new battery, it's one that's been salvaged from a stolen phone and likely preworn.

What the PinePhone does is using a low end Qualcomm SoC as the modem (which has a CPU core and all, and runs a stripped-down Android in the stock configuration).

This just replaces that part which you can already edit on your own Android phone, but doesn't touch the actual modem bits at all, which remain the provided binary.

Using "free" in a situation where there's literally a dictator stretches it though.

If you insist on categorizing `echo "hello world"` as the invocation, rather than the program, then what is the program under your categorization? I'll submit that it is the `echo` binary, which is a whopping 35kB on my machine.

I'll just observe that there is no way to compress "hello world" below a certain size (definitely not to size 0). If you think you have, you've just "moved" it into, say, the framework/os/input/algorithm/etc.

But this fun little debate we're having here is actually connected to some deep theoretical questions, like Kolmogorov complexity, its invariance theorem, and applications to the concept of data compression [0].

Yeah, I hear you. I note in my case, I read the article and posted about the clarifying sentence.

I did find it funny that so many people were in an animated discussion about the interpretation of the headline.

gremlinsinc: "how does it know there isn't one further out past the observable universe?"
doctoboggan: "the title is a little unclear, but I read it as the most distant known supermassive black hole"

The rise of authoritarianism. We need computing, banking, communication and other solutions that are more robust to governments and people generally that want to control what people can do. Decentralized (I don't mean anything to do with crypto nonsense) and simplified methods are needed, e.g currently any nontrivial computer and internet use require relying on a bunch of parties that could quickly turn hostile.

> Writing is reasonably easy

Incorrect. My professors trashed students reports (that groups had spent literally 800+ man hours on) because they were all awfully written. Writing well is incredibly hard, especially on technical topics.

Diagrams for many engineering topics is worthless since diagrams are unable to actually express complex topics very well.
If you're looking for a distraction-free writing tool, I've been building and using a minimal blogging platform called Tinylogger[1]. My focus is on a totally clean interface (everything goes away while you write [2]), and I recently shipped a no-judgement mode [3] that focuses you only on the line you're writing, fading everything else out - perfect for first drafts and morning pages. I've been blogging a lot more this way.

Well, if you build your software the Apple way(TM) and use Xcode, just opening the project will show you all the deprecation warning. A C++ Xcode project I have at work has a lot of them, mainly for using old Frameworks like CoreServices, which do not have any modern C/C++ equivalent (they were replaced by Obj-C/Swift APIs) and which, while very old fashion/unsafe in their style, are most of the time way more worth to call for very short task like getting a path, rather then having to whip out a .mm and write some horrible Objective-C++.

However, if you’re not using Swift/Obj-C and have a different/custom build system, you’re probably toasted. Although, if you’re using CMake, you might have some luck in getting these info by generating an XCode project.

> SwiftUIs text rendering also looks like ass, but that also could be the result of the choice of grey on grey the design B-team in charge of the redesign chose for text boxes.

Are you on a high DPI monitor? macOS stopped doing subpixel antialiasing a few versions ago. It’s not great for non-retina screens, but Apple seems to think everyone should have stopped using those by now.
> Hopefully I can get somewhere with the phone support people, but it's really disappointing that they don't train their techs in the stores to feel out what a customer knows or at least drop some of the "oh the user doesn't know anything" if customers are showing that they do, in fact, know things.

I think they have homogenized support to treat each user as equally non-technical, it's by design. Apple is like a sect, they need to have a strong grip on their users.

The problem with school, or college, is that they tell you, you need to write. They don’t explain to you why you need to write, and what are the benefits of writing.

That’s why most design reviews are very painful to read, and understand. That’s why company wiki becomes a pile of useless information.
Assuming you're talking about users of your web app, rather than database users.

Using the WAL mode [1] you can have truly concurrent reads alongside writes. You can't do truly concurrent writes, however, but the database driver you use (may) automatically retry writes that fail due to locks automatically. The Python driver [2] does with the `timeout` configuration parameter for 5 seconds by default. As your writes should be very quick, so long as you don't hold transactions open or attempt to do lots of work in a transaction, you may find that it's perfectly performant for your use case / usage loads.

I have been fighting a lot with Ghost.

It is good if the provided features are good and enough for you.. but if they aren't, then you are in trouble. I would like to note that Ghost is meant mostly for making content behind subscriptions, since they prioritize adding and improving their subscription features.

The content is meant to be written by hand, with some limitations.

Templating engine is limited, if you want to have some static pages. It is very difficult to generate something from custom data, other than your posts or pages. I wish Ghost had some custom key-value endpoint with their API, but instead if you want to add anything custom, it must be set to the custom configuration file, and it is very limited.

Eventually, you need to embed JSON into JS and then generate some parts of the HTML on client side, what you would instead like to do these in server side.
E.g. if you would like to show for example a table with data.
Or you need to use some other static site generator to build the HTML table from JSON.

Something very simple, but yet so difficult.

I liked that it was possible to use SQLite3 in production for Ghost. It worked very well and scales as well since it is mostly read operation, but they are officially dropping support for production and using only MySQL. I guess the one argument was, that sending emails for many subscribers was too much for SQLite.

Strictly speaking, it's uploading that people get sued for, not downloading.

Why does menstual data have to be encrypted in the first place? Why can it not just live on the device?

I don’t think that’s true, for example some open source LLMs have the training data publicly available, and hiding evidence of something you think could be illegal on purpose sounds too risky for most big companies to do (obviously that happens sometimes but I don’t think it would on that scale)

So my option is to choose Elon's right wing echo chamber? (Of course, one doesn't have to pick Threads - the ultimate outcome on Twitter's traffic is the same.)

The Blue echo-chamber* is so, so much worse.

* Because Elon has become politicized, paying for Twitter Blue has become politicized. Because of this, the people paying for Blue are people politically aligned with Elon. As Twitter Blue replies are boosted to the top of any reply section, there is an inherent echo-chamber in Twitter replies these days.

It is something we care about, but it also isn't our first priority (as it is a "fallback" backend when other newer apis aren't available on a system). Given that we support WebGL (which IS a high priority for us and is an even more limited subset), generally OpenGL breakage is just an oversight / missed bug. Please file an issue as we do want to support as many systems as possible!

You can currently download any copyright work from any pirate site and be free of all consequences, and this has always been so.

> OS will not actually remove the pages from swap despite them now being in RAM as well

Now the hard part: I don't have an idea, because I'm no that versed in OS VMM, but it does make sense even if it is 1993. But this is the basics and I doubt it works some other way. I would be happy if someone more familiar would chime in (and the reason why or not), but in my experience this is what happening.

> Well, that's desktop-grade hardware in a server. Might work, but if it doesn't, you get what you asked for.

Extremely often and works not just 'quite well', but well enough. Similiar servers (literally, just without LUKS) were fine, with > 90% of 'SSD health'

> How does LUKS affect that

Every write is different, because the bytes on the storage are already encrypted. Ie you write the same bytes to the same blovk pn the FS, but the underlaying, encrypted, bytes are not the same => new write.

Yep.
