As someone who has been using rx since 2014 (with a heavy heart) I must agree with you here. 9 out of 10 times there’s a simple, more boring way of solving the problem. I want boring in my life. Boring is good.

The idea that reading code is harder than writing it can take an extreme form with this style of coding imho.

(My other issue is that for me FRP style code, esp. with rx, is just so much fun to write.)

Except ... ever tried to sell something worth $500+?

Good grief, the number of idiots. And it goes both ways.

Look, I know what I'm selling. I know what it sells for on FleaBay. Any offer below 50% of that and I'm going to tell you to pound sand (most of the time it's not even 10%--I mean, really?). I will throw it in the garbage rather than enable these kinds of morons. By the same token, if you give me about 65-75% of FleaBay, IT'S YOURS.

And, vice versa. Dude, I can see what the last 10 of these went for on FleaBay, and you're trying to get quadruple that. Get stuffed.
Sorry, I'm not sure where the wikipedia Editor got that information from. I can change my original comment to "travels with a significant carbon footprint" if you would make you happy? Does the carbon footprint section of wikipedia seem up to your standards?
Has she been with your company for 14 years? Because if so, this really calls some of your companies practices somewhere into question.

That being said, if she got hired as a junior in the last 5 years (despite tangentially having some programming experience) and never got promoted, I guess I can understand that, but really, why even keep someone on who refuses to learn new things, is difficult to work with, and consistently writes poor code
Using Itunes........with android you can literally select another CLOUD provider.
This is 100% the reason I have an iPhone. I can usually eek out 5 yrs on an iphone before it’s taken one too many falls. Which has also been why any iPhone of mine has died, no other reason than I fumbled it around with no case on it…. Also much to my pleasure, the 13 mini was still available for my most recent upgrade, so now I don’t have a gigantic phone anymore either.

I have looked to get out of apples grasp, but nothing else comes close in terms of long term support, which is absolutely necessary for a device that touches all of my digital life.
Which seems like a massive liability for the company. Search engines seem like a much lower moat than mobile platforms these days.
Android phones stopped being attractive to me a few years back. They've become overpriced and it's much harder to make them work acceptably well.

iPhones don't appeal to me at all, though.

The decline of Android phones is one of the reasons that I've decided go without a smartphone entirely when my current one dies.

I don't think it's a matter of preference.

Of course I prefer doing all of my computing on my desktop computer. But I don't take my desktop computer with me to the grocery store. And I use Twitter to entertain myself when I'm waiting in line at the grocery store, for example. When I am at my desktop computer, I'm much less likely to be interested in using Twitter.

That said, one of many reasons I didn't bother creating a Threads account is precisely that reason: no desktop client. Unless forced, I won't use anything that is exclusively available on mobile devices.
Yeah, I don't really see a solution. Even Stanford can't keep up with the latest AI research. Still, having LLaMA 2 is better than not having it.
The link should really be to the original report [0].

This 55% is iPhone's share of phone shipments in Q2, not the number of users of the respective phones at any given time. In other words, fewer people are buying smartphones than were before, but Apple saw less of a hit to their numbers than everyone else did.

Contrary to existing comments here, this stat doesn't appear to indicate that people are switching from Android to iPhone. It looks like Android users are more likely to avoid upgrading their phone in an uncertain economy, while Apple users are more likely to upgrade regardless.

That accusation has been repeatedly debunked. Also, on a more positive note, amongst all the gossiping and somewhat rude behaviour, they've documented a significant amount of illegal activity by others. In particular, how certain individuals of gender have been grooming children and committing sex crimes - which is why these creeps tried so hard to take Kiwifarms offline. And ultimately failed, as it's still up and running, even on the clearnet.

> IIRC, it wasn’t uncommon for UHF dials to be continuous while VHF had precise stops and switched directly from channel to channel, so in UHF, as a practical matter, you'd have static between tuned channels, while that was not the case in VHF.

That must have been a pretty old or cheap TV. All the dial TVs I ever used had stops for all the channels, VHF and UHF. And even when I was a kid, pretty much all TVs didn't have dials, but some kind of digitally-controlled analog tuner.

I remember tuning from channel 2 to 60 or so in maybe about a quarter second or less. Definitely so fast I didn't really register it as a delay.
I swapped from Android after a decade to iOS at the end of last year, and don't regret it one single bit.

Android you just get plagued with software bugs (random battery drain, UI freezes, weird crashes etc) constantly, additionally I wasn't a fan of how system apps because they come from Google auto-update, going in and having an app completely change at random when I'm not expecting it, is not a nice experience when you need the app in a hurry (looking at you Google Maps).

Ironically for a phone, phone calls were the buggiest thing on nearly all Android phones I had over a decade (OnePlus, Samsung, Pixel etc).

iOS, as much as I disagree with Apple's closed ecosystem and propriety behaviour, is just a far better software quality than Android. Google is obviously not a software company.
This sort of mirrors what my experience has been during my search. In the past, reaching out via LinkedIn or otherwise would merit a response (at least); however, in the current market, I never get a reply and in some cases I see the application is rejected. I feel like sending messages is hurting more than helping.

Likewise with follow-ups. Anytime I follow-up on an interview, I never hear back or it is rejected, so I've stopped following up after interviews completely.
That's right. Before all that you'd typically spend a few minutes going through all the frequencies to set the channels.
HI! I am a US citizen living abroad and want to apply for US citizenship for my 1 year old son through the grandfather clause. I understand that after filling the N-600K we will need to go for an interview in the US. We will need to apply for a visa for my son and my wife will come too. She is not a citizen and requires a visa too.

1. The grandfather does not have to come to the interview, correct?

2. We want to come for a visit for a few months to half a year (also for the interview), with the option of emigrating either this trip or in the future.

What type of visas should we apply for? If it's for a short to medium trip or for eventual emigration.

I understood that if my wife enters with a tourist visa and we then apply from within the US to emigrate it is frowned upon and can be denied.

Is this something we would definitely need a lawyer for? What would the costs be?

> I think this is a major factor that is driving market share towards iPhone.

Few people outside of the tech nerd bubble care about this.
For me the sweet spot is an SE with a battery case. A ‘full size’ phone still wouldn’t cut it with my usage, so this way it’s heavy, but still fairly compact and gets the job done.
It was "peak freedom" in the sense of "freedom from consequence." The people who were targeted by the casual bigotry and homophobia of the time certainly weren't more "live and let live," they simply didn't have an outlet like social media to express their discontent at a scale that society could notice.

They absolutely view phones as general purpose computers. It's why iOS is slowly turning into OS X.
I don't know, if someone wants to dump a whole lot on you, you should just take their asking price. They're not asking you to do a valuation. They won't feel the "loss". However, if you go through and tell them what every card is "worth", and buy a couple that you can afford, they will then feel bad if they ever part with them for less than their notional value.
So the real take away is Google is up 48% and everyone else is down with Apple down 5%.

I've been using Google Fi as a wireless provider for years and have been using their phones as a result. I've only once ever had an issue with one of the phones from a software standpoint and it took me a while to figure out how to port over my contacts (I had to export them to an Apple format and then import them). I've stayed away from Apple products because (1) the Google products don't have a ton of corporate fluff like Samsung products, (2) Apple phones tend to do "magic" things that just annoy the hell out of me, and (3) Android Auto just works.

Whenever morphogenesis comes up, especially with the usual "work from DNA and proteins up" approach, I feel obliged to mention Michael Levin. He also researches morphogenesis, except his approach is on a higher abstraction level. He manipulates the electrical network that cells use to communicate with each other to organize their work towards multicellular goals. Do watch his lectures, it's some really fascinating stuff. You don't need to touch genes at all to regrow limbs and organs. Neither do you need to operate on that low level to cure cancer. This whole "let's effect organism-level changes by observing and manipulating DNA and proteins" feels to me like "let's add a feature to a react web app by observing and modifying the behavior of individual transistors in the CPU". Doable given enough time, but you'd drown in complexity in the process.

Sometimes I think a powerful factor in high-level accomplishment is appreciating something valuable sooner than others, which may depend on opportunity, luck, and the capability to appreciate (e.g.) high-level art or math as a teenager.
And the included encryption is beyond useless if it is instantly dropped when sent to a device that doesn’t understand the new protocol. That’s such a huge security vulnerability that it is just security theater to encrypt in the first place. Though I’m sure it has to do something with all those messages going through google’s servers.
It's tough but doable. You have to get on people's calendars a week or two out whenever you can, and if you're lucky, it eventually turns into easy, low-stress, open-ended playdates.

Meeting other parents is a huge effort, though! It's basically dating all over again. If your kids ride the school bus, that's a big help because you automatically meet nearby parents who are home in the afternoon. Otherwise, you have to go to lots of events and ask parents for their phone numbers, but the majority don't work out for random reasons.
To me it's the fact that it just works and I use it as a smart phone and not as a General Purpose Computer. There is a lot of ecosystem stuff on iOS that are just missing from Android. Plus the skinning of each manufacturer is/was terrible. Samsung's early TouchWiz was incredibly terrible...

I also use Android when I need more access to different things e.g. portable pocket pc that runs Linux.

Elon has stated repeatedly that X adheres to freedom of speech, not freedom of reach. Up until recently, X was a left-wing echo chamber. This is a classic example of MSM falsely reporting anything as non-moderate and non-left wing as "hate speech."

And this basically proves my point--you're not able to show, concretely, a non-cherry picked example of this purpoted "hate speech."
This is just a backlash to sensationalism in the form of influencers/personalities claiming that various places on earth are now instant-death zones even in the shade, and refusing to accept that they are wrong.

The article is a good read and adds some nuance to this answer.
Due to the distribution of cone cells of different colors in your retina, white on green is the hardest to read. Apple has probably caused car wreck deaths with the green bubble, even though you shouldn't read texts while driving, but they probably think a few deaths is worth it for the lock-in and stock incentives.

Scouting is an interesting example because my experience included both ends of the scheduling vs. freedom spectrum. My first troop was all about the weekly meetings, merit badge classes, memorization, structured activities, and the like. Camping trips almost always had a specific goal, like hiking a certain trail or getting certain merit badges. My second troop was about going camping and making our own fun. Once the necessary duties were out of the way, we were pretty much left to our own devices and it was infinitely more rewarding, both as a kid and in my retrospective analysis. I learned so much more just figuring things out with the other boys, especially on the social development side.

This is probably its most important failure.

Ironically, the people who refuse to use the "Following" tab on Twitter are, I expect, the same people who are most dissatisfied with Twitter. If you use the Following tab, Twitter remains pretty damn great. It's when you allow an algorithm to feed you stuff that the experience can become something between unsatisfactory and toxic.
> That's right. Before all that you'd typically spend a few minutes going through all the frequencies to set the channels.

I don't think that's quite right.

IIRC that was basically a function to scan for inactive channels so they could be automatically skipped when flipping through channels sequentially. That scan was often automated.

The frequencies were already set in the TV, and I don't recall any capability on any set to change them (except to flip between the "over-the-air" channel/frequency mappings and the "cable" mappings).
Yeah, I totally get that :)

But you know, just about every single good university has an orchestra - lots of them have multiple (symphony, philharmonia, etc). There are way more kids playing music for their school than will ever be professional musicians. And there is a need for 2-3 times more violin players than cello players.

If your kid enjoys playing violin and wants to play in college, that will count for a lot more than someone who plays a cello just so they can write it down on their application.
