> but I found the technical challenge of building my own PC too much

It's really not necessarily that hard -- I say this not as an insult, but as an encouraging clue that whatever documentation or technique you followed last time you tried may have been overcomplicating things -- it can be about as easy as putting legos together.

So, if building your own PC from off the shelf parts (which is quite different from what the poster is talking about actually) is something that interests you, I would strongly recommend not giving up and assuming that it's too hard for you, and instead concluding that whatever resources you used last time to guide you are inadequate or aimed at a more complex goal than you need.

I can't give a specific recommendation since I haven't done it in years, but you really just need to pick out a case (which usually will include a power supply), motherboard, CPU, RAM, and hard disk. To make it easier, avoid needing a CPU and just get a motherboard that includes the CPU. (Same goes for GPU) Then, ensure the motherboard is compatible with the case, the RAM is compatible with the motherboard, and the hard disk is compatible with the motherboard. Finally, total the power usage for each component and ensure it's less than the power supply's power output. Honestly, this compatibility planning is the "hard" part, once you get the components it's just plugging them into each other in a logical way, it's not like decades ago where you had to fiddle with jumper switches and the like. For your first time, you can also just set your expectations low, make sure you get things with good return policies, and return components if you end up being mistaken about their compatibility, but this should not be an issue if you read their specs carefully.

You can even buy kits that already include parts known to be compatible. Or for example, bundles that include the motherboard and some compatible RAM -- if you get one of those all you really need is the case and you're done (Since technically, the hard drive is sort of optional, if you always boot from a live USB or netboot image!)

NewEgg.com used to be great for this kinda stuff years ago, although I've heard they've "gone downhill"? No idea

Or even further towards ease, take apart your PC and put it back together.

That said, lol, you're right, this is something for most people you do once, and it was cool, but next time you just buy off the shelf to save time. There was a time when you could save a lot of money building your own but that time is long past.
I've tried preaching philosophy to my toddler but he just doesn't seem to get it for some reason :) Some toys do get "broken" (but easily fixed so they reappear in a week or more), but out of sight means out of mind! He won't even remember it exists as soon as he gets thirsty and wants his drink instead, so effectively there are already zero consequences outside of a minute of anguish. I, on the other hand, do like the option of having toys to distract him while fixing dinner and some are way more effective than most.
Did Facebook fuel political polarization in the 2020 election? It’s complicated
I really like this. The only thing that's missing from it is "fun" perhaps? I don't think it's "playing" unless there's also some intrinsic enjoyment!
That model is not state of the art. Even GPT-3.5 can answer this question.
> Imagine the reaction of a modern day town if a child had broke their neck from the playground, what would the reaction?

This is extremely locale-dependent. In the US? There would be lawsuits, fences, height restrictions, and so on.

In the Netherlands? They’d put up a sign, maybe.
I think Apple's strong claim is security, not privacy.
> Just about every single pre-installed app?

You can disable any app aside from the Galaxy Store, I believe. Takes like 5 minutes to do them all if you are a die hard Samsung hater.

> Their store, their browser, Bixby, Bixby vision, messaging, their car mode, their friends, Galaxy smartwatch BS, SmartThings, their weather app. It's all - to an app - worse than the alternatives, and worse than Google's defaults if that's your preference.

They don't have their own car mode or messaging, they use Android Auto and Google Messages.

As someone who uses some of them, Samsung apps are actually quite good generally.

Even if they were all hot garbage, there is nothing wrong with having more options IMO. All you lose is a bit of diskspace if you disable them.
We're into the next election cycle and PACs on both sides are engaged in viral marketing. You can no longer trust that any news is sincere and hasn't been sourced from people with a political agenda.
At least in the case of Nvidia, the drivers bundled with Windows are good enough for most peoples' needs. It sucks for those of us who want up to date drivers for more demanding use cases though.
The idea is that adults can sponsor their parents for a green card but children cannot. Of course it makes absolutely no sense given the disruption to US citizen children's lives if their parents are deported, but US immigration generally is quite cruel if you're on the margins.
It’s super funny to see people framing that as Threads failing.

They totally may fail. But even after that initial drop (which is expected, for something that managed to get so much hype) they’re likely still the biggest app in the history in terms of DAU in few weeks after the launch.

And if there’s one thing Meta knows how to do is to copy successful idea and slowly grind the growth till it dominates market.

I guess this is an interesting question, but it seems incredibly contrary to the whole point of SQL. Two tables should never be the same, if they were, why would you have two tables. I can understand why one might want to check if two datasets were the same, which is easy to do with sort and diff, but two tables? They shouldn’t even have the same fields.
At the same time, astroturfing exists. It’s also incredibly frustrating how every time there’s a movement, people try to dampen its momentum by drawing attention to general apathy, a complete red herring for reasons explained in the GGP comment.
> That's an unreasonable restriction and I expect the ACLU to win this.

Looking at the details, it seems that this cannot be a blanket restriction, since a judge could compell you to provide testimony. [0] At that point it would not matter what the contract said.

I know I gave up on it anyway without desktop. But what I really gave up on was lack of discovery on how to get my twitter network replicated. I was at least able to do that with Mastodon for all its UX sins.
I advertised from linkedin and my websites. Upwork is bad. You would need to do some nearly free work for awhile to get some ratings and a 'rising talent' rating, to start to be considered for work.

Once you work for free for a few weeks you might start to get some traction but you'll quickly run out of "connects", that allow you to bid for proposals. Basically you have to pay upwork to apply to gigs, and then upwork takes a cut if you get the gig, and most the gigs posted want to pay offshore rates, eg 10 - $30/hr for AI work, or skilled software engineering.

Hm, didn't know that. But I still remember the channels we had when I was a kid:

2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 13, and UHF 30.

I also remember that depending on the radio, you could sometimes pick up the audio for I think VHF channel 6 at the low end of the FM dial.
You know that weird kid in your class? That kid would have an ASD diagnosis these days.
Are posture-correcting devices helpful?
Thanks. That's more or less how I solved these problems too. And the questions are what I had to painstakingly answer myself at work.

BTW, I haven't touched MP in Py for couple of years now, but remember there's some misalignment in concurrent futures between pool.map and pool.submit.

And for exceptions in background processes, I had a shared bool var called "emergency brake", and an error queue.

I have always struggled with just how difficult it is to retain long form text over HTML. Even if you block the ads, the hyperlinks and strange font choices can make it difficult.

The solution I figured out was to use a Kobo e-reader with Pocket. The integration with Firefox is actually quite seamless. You can basically just take a webpage, save it to pocket, and then sync it to your e-reader and read the article there. I have found this to be the best way to consume acoup's content.
I've replaced the baity word "crookedness", which was likely to lead to uninteresting associations and arguments, with the phrase "crooked timber" (from Kant) that the article itself mostly uses. I know it's pretentious, but in a case like this, having the title be a bit of an obstacle is probably a good thing - and at least I didn't make it say "Embrace your crooked timber of humanity".

Edit: never mind I've got a better idea - let's just put Kant's line in the title.
Make them work for it. If they break a toy, they have to work to get the replacement. Very early on, that might just mean doing their chores on time, or reading a book, or whatever - but the point is that when they break something, it takes work to replace.
The more you write (talk) about this stuff, the less I understand.

i worked a little in this space in the past. what we learned was that most people don't switch, but if they do, it's overwhelmingly in the android->ios direction and not the other way around (this is in the US). you may see some anecdotal evidence otherwise but on aggregate that was true
Going from web development to creating your own semiconductor lab to understand the solid state physics of transistors enough to make one will not only take more than a year, it's also silly.

You may as well learn C and the guts of microprocessors if you're really concerned about how a computer actually operates.

Web development really just treats the whole of the internet as one big computer, and the dev formats interesting content nicely for the screen of the user, which is ultimately about presenting useful data. There's probably little incentive to take a "year off" to try and understand the whole thing from the physics to the electronics to the logic to the anthopology and philosophy of computation - it's too big a field and something you'll be spending the rest of your life doing. Plus even in a year, starting from scratch, even with 8-bit kits or transistors, any computer you make when compared to modern machines won't really even do anything. Imo you'd be better off getting a ZX Spectrum, a cassette drive, a copy of Manic Miner, and enjoying watching the 48kb of it load into the machine, then pouring over the code. Or even Elite on the BBC Microcomputer. Understanding these few thousand kilobytes of machine code and how they interact with the machines is easily food for thought for a year. Then just multiply that by a few thousand in terms of resolution, bandwidth, speed, and you'll understand modern computation better.

Or just go travelling for a year and don't think about computers...
Off the top of my head (haven't had to do zone files for ~2 years):

* hostmaster@example.com -> hostmaster.example.com

* NS records are usually hostnames (not sure if IPs are even valid)

* Ditto for MX records ; also add a period to the end, otherwise example.net will get appended

* Also appending with the www record

I wonder about how to make this play nicely with systems that have different perspectives. Yes, a message bus is written to deal with any possible message and it can do that because it doesn't care what's in the message. Incomplete messages are useful to have, too.

This is sort of like the difference between a text editor and a compiler. An editor has to deal with code that doesn't even parse, which is easiest if just treats it as a plain text file, but then you're missing a lot of language-specific features that we take for granted these days. Meanwhile, a compiler can require all errors to be fixed before it emits a binary, but it has to be good at reporting what the errors are, because they will certainly happen.

It's unclear to me how the type of the field can be a global property in a large system. From a text editor's point of view, you can just edit the type. How can anyone guarantee that a type is always the same?

Also, SQL tables actually do make closed-world assumptions; every record meets the schema, or it can't be stored there. If you change the schema, there is a migration step where all the old rows in the production database gets upgraded. This doesn't seem unrealistic?

I guess it's unrealistic that you only have one production database, and not also a staging database, and every developer having their own database? And they will be on different versions. As soon as you have lots of databases, things get complicated.

The biggest issue is that for the first few years there was no single standardized way to write Redux code. Everyone came up with their own patterns, and wrote their own helper libraries. It also required a lot of "boilerplate" code for things like defining action type strings, action creator functions, and hand-written immutable updates.

That's why we published our official Redux Toolkit package in 2019. It standardizes Redux usage, and includes methods that build in our recommended approaches for things like store setup, writing reducers, simpler immutable updates with Immer, and even a complete server data fetching and caching solution called RTK Query:

- https://redux.js.org/introduction/why-rtk-is-redux-today

- https://redux.js.org/tutorials/essentials/part-2-app-structu...

We routinely get highly positive feedback from folks who hated writing old-style Redux, but love using RTK.

Related, we also have a "Style Guide" docs page that provides guidance on what approaches we recommend using when writing Redux code:

In Denmark there is a system called Digital Post for communication with public authorities, mostly used for receiving relevant notifications/updates/documents.
> Come for a couple of weeks, or get an immigrant visa.

You mean, come for a couple weeks, but don't fall in love or start a family with an American girl or boy.

> Getting married is fine. Getting married and then changing your mind is acceptable.

I would imagine that getting married and changing your mind is what this policy is meant to encourage! What about getting married and not changing your mind? What about having and raising children?

Is it United States policy that the children of such marriages must be raised only by single parents?
In Canada perhaps It's due to zero choices from service providers? Samsung and Google Pixel are the only Android options in the high-end (TCL/Motorola/ZTE low end). I would consider a Asus Zenfone or Sony Xperia if they were widely available here.
Why? Because there are also 14 year junior managers (except they get retitled to something like "team lead")...
I'm indifferent, it's just definitely not anthropomorphic.

FWIW I did actually check before I commented, but just using my local dict install. Anthropogenic seems to be often used in the news WRT climate change, but the definitions left me with the impression anthropic seemed more correct (brevity bonus too):

> From WordNet (r) 3.1 (2011) [wn]:

> anthropic
> adj 1: relating to mankind or the period of mankind's existence
> [syn: {anthropic}, {anthropical}]
>
> anthropogenic
> adj 1: of or relating to the study of the origins and

For these cases, I follow the Twitter accounts on Mastodon by way of the mirror sites - bird.makeup is the most popular I believe.

"But you can't respond to people there". Yeah, but I don't care. Since Elon changed the meaning of the blue checkmark and made it effectively pay-to-play, the chances of someone seeing my responses are effectively zero.
My toddler runs https://rangerovers.pub and it mostly holds up okay. He's not great at yaml because he can't really read so the significant whitespace is a problem, but he knows how to run the backups and ensure the mail handler isn't choking on all the Russian spammers. We try to limit his screen time though so he's only on for the 15-minute maintenance window. The Aprilscherz frontend for Docker is a big help.

> Even the "good" changes that manufacturers make are unwelcome, because they dull much of the appeal of an OS like Android where hardware vendors are interchangeable and can be switched on a whim without software downsides. I don't want to become dependent on some manufacturer-specific change.

So you want a worse software experience all the time in case you have to use said worse software experience in the future because of a hardware change? And you don't want Android hardware vendors to be able to differentiate themselves with software, giving all of the power to Google?

Doesnt make sense to me. Seems a bit like cutting off your nose to spite your face.

The Android market is way way harder to pin down than the iPhone market. Manufacturers have been walking out software support horizons in the Android world, which should have an impact. To the extent that Android users have shifted toward Samsung and Pixels, that would also tend to walk out the software support window of the Android cohort. And finally, last year there were crazy sales that I don't think have been as good this year, from what I've seen. I upgraded from S21 to S22 ultra last year for $18, no contract term.

OTOH, Qualcomm seems to have closed the gap in SOC performance and efficiency with 8gen2.

> There is also evidence that teens who have part-time jobs are happier than those who don’t, because of the sense of independence and confidence they gain from the job.

Genuinely wondering where they got any data for that, given that child labour is generally illegal these days and all. What kind of part time jobs for children that pay actual money exist in the present?

I suppose you've got the rare ones like acting, modelling, toy testing, but those come with a lot of other factors that are probably hard to control for and in most cases I doubt the kids are paid directly. Maybe they counted getting $5 from your parents for mowing the lawn.
