I have doubts on how effective these type of consent based system are. I for one always click “accept all” and move on for most websites I am on. Average layman has very little time the effort needed to understand and customize the consents are quite high. Not to say they purposely make the UI hostile in those consent popups. For me anyway GDPR has been largely a waste of bureaucracy, a better effort would be to educate populous about what cookies are and how tracking works and the extent of the trackings etc - these stuff should be in High School curriculum already by now.
Yes, except that Meta is being legally compelled to provide the services regardless of whether the user consents.

They are basically being forced to separate the part of their business that actually makes money from the part that users like and then forced to lose money on those users.

I would be fine about laws requiring facebook to be up front and clear about how they are using this data, but mandating free rider status seems a step too far.

Not always. "I don't know" is identical to saying "I have a uniform prior". In the particular case of LK-99, my prior is perfectly uniform - I know absolutely nothing about the subject matter and almost everything I read on the topic feels way above my head. As I refuse to be influenced by experts (or "experts") until there is some sort of consensus, I have absolutely no good reason to say anything but "I don't know".

> yes they screwed over the consumer with their anti-competitive cartel but hey they were saving the planet so it is all forgiven

That's a misrepresentation of his take. He does not say that the cartel should be forgiven for their anti-competitive practices.

He just said that what is often referred to as planned obsolescence, may simply have been an early form of product standardization and wasn't necessarily intended to be anti-competitive.
Of course, there's no citation for the change.
I built my stereo at age 12, then followed it up with a (much larger) bass amplifier for my bass guitar when I was 14, and a mixer/effects box at 15. Of course they linked together, using the bass amplifier as a sub-woofer. I didn't have to deal with as high a voltage as you, just the 240V mains supply, and then the +-70V supply to the bass amp circuitry.

I think kids these days are much more likely to do something digital than build things like this from discrete components.

Ask HN: Suitable Dumbphones and device combos (2023)
Hello, HN community. Curious about which dumbphones people might be using that they are happy with?

Initially, I looked at the Nokia Tough 800 but was saddened to discover it came pre-loaded with Facebook, Youtube, and other such apps. Having access to those makes it a non-starter for me.

Initially, the device seems like a good option as it supports hosting a personal hotspot which would make it feasible to have a secondary device such as a pad to use apps such as Swish and BankID which are somewhat fundamental in Swedish society.

However, through work, I have an iPhone so in theory I could transfer the SIM between devices as necessary (?) and bring the iPhone along as a camera anyway.

My ideal device would have had Swish, BankID, and Spotify but no web browser but that seems impossible. I guess I'd be fine with GPS+phone+SMS. If it is somewhat robust too that'd be swell as I'm a rock climber among other things.

Might be able to address the music need by buying a secondhand iPhone Touch or something... The Mighty Vibe seems disappointing.

I've tried using stuff like Freedom to tend myself toward digital minimalism and not have to have several devices but haven't been super successful in that regard yet which is why I'm exploring this avenue now.

Suggestions for dumbphones + device combos would be desirable.

Thank you.

Trade is always better without the US until someone needs the US military. Then if the US doesn’t step in, someone is gonna complain about the morality of it. You can’t have it both ways.
Every trading relationship will favour the stronger side.

EU and China in particular have been far more aggressive than the US has in pursuing their interests against smaller countries. Australia in particular has been subject to unprecedented economic coercion and manipulation by China. It's not pretty.

But still trading ultimately does benefit both sides.

I use edge for MS Teams, office 365 and anything that use microsoft ssO on my linux works computer. I don't want to taint my firefox profile/experience with microsoft stuff, and I figured the microsoft stuff will be better tested on edge than anything else, especially teams videocalls. Since my company mandate the use of microsoft stuff I decided to put everything behind Azure SSO with Edge for linux and keep everything else on firefox.

The only thing I use behind Azure SSO that is not on edge is AWS because I take advantage of the multi containers extension to run several profiles in parallel. But for that I use another browser, librewolf.

I think you totally misunderstood the video, that wasn’t his point at all.

Because of the increased efficiency, you saved much more on the energy bill, even offsetting the extra cost for more light bulbs which were cheap even back then.

This is a nitpick, but early PC BIOS with C/H/S addressing could address up to 504 MB (1024 cylinders, 16 heads, 63 sectors) just fine. There was nothing stopping you from using a 32 MB drive, like the article implies.

What you did often run in to is that early BIOSes would only support fixed disk types, and not arbitrary C/H/S values. In some cases this would prevent you from using the full capacity of your hard drive when upgrading. 32 MB was a common early size, though, and would generally be covered by the standard disk types.

His other points are better.

The cartel dissolved many years ago, and there wasn't a flood of _better_ longer bulbs because there physically can't be.

Longer bulbs have existed for a long time, but they are much dimmer in addition to using more power. As such they are not desirable to people.

Even beyond the cartel, power plants wanted the higher efficiency lightbulbs to reduce strain.

Those points are far better.

In any case, the cartel's goal definitely wasn't saving the planet. Can you even imagine a evil shadow organization with that goal? Their goal was profit, and to get profit they wanted standards.

Standards make it so a consumer can get various different products that work predictably. The world would be a much worse place without agreed upon standards.

In most places I worked recently reviewing PRs was a requirement that came with some sort of certification. The certification usually also imposes some restrictions on how many developers have to review the code, maybe some other aspects too, I didn't really dig deeper into this aspect.

From my understanding of the rationale behind the requirement: it's one more mechanism to ensure better code quality. A mechanism to try to catch errors that aren't "visible" to tests, linters and so on. So, I wouldn't put learning as the central point of PR reviews. Maybe in an organization that cycles through a lot of junior developers that might make sense, but if the team has been working on a project for some years, that doesn't really happen. Not in the quantity that would make a difference.

Now, as to how well it works... In my experience, it can both improve and worsen code quality. I've often been in a situation where PR reviews were made into some sort of tug-of-war power games, where less competent but more senior programmer tried to impose their will on someone less senior. Or just boggle down the whole process by asking to do unnecessary changes to the code to the point of confusing the PR author, which would then lead to a messy code that lacked uniformity and the original intention was obscured by the changes requested by the reviewer.

Essentially, it all boils down to there being no universally acceptable code quality metrics and no formal process that can vet the code. PRs are kind of like mathematical proofs -- they just have to be "convincing enough" for others to believe you, but there's no systematic / formal approach to accomplish this. So, at best, the rules around PRs are the "etiquette", but will ultimately depend on what the team working on the project believes to be the proper manners... Do they like it if you say "hi" in the PR comments? -- it's up to them. Do they want you to be nice, or do they want you to be brief and to the point? -- again, the team decides. There's no higher authority. None that I've ever heard of or would defer to.
>I don't want it to be anything

Your comment implicitly indicates a certain world view.

Like saying, you don't mind people not working, ignoring the fact there aren't any jobs or unemployment benefits.

Ie it's for those that have the ability to write their own code. Or people that have the ability to pay for the specific feature they want.

If you're happy with that, fair enough, but that is the implication.

Maybe after 3 decades it is time to stop viewing "GNU/Linux or Linux" as a single entity/organisation. This is such a naive view.

This rant all over again is like complaining that the IT industry is fragmented and we have Google, AWS and Microsoft fragmenting the cloud offering, or that Render and Fly.io should not exist because Heroku was already there and people should just work for Heroku and make it a better product. Or that Apple and Microsoft should be working together. Or that Microsoft, Sony and Nintendo should stop duplicating their efforts and only offer a single, well made game console.

Which market segment does linux not totally dominate nowadays? Phones, big servers, embedded devices, HPC... Maybe you could argue desktops? Maybe? Still a very signficant player there however you dice it.

Going back to Linus' original email announcement then apply your framework and you don't predict linux competing anywhere let alone dominating everywhere. How could anyone? Smash Sun, IBM, HP all of them. No chance. None.

I used a 65 inch TV about 2.5 meters away from my eyes as a monitor for my home PC for a couple of years. Trust me when I say that having a huge screen at a longer distance from your eyes gives much less eye strain.

With VR you could basically have a monitor that would feel like watching a valley while sitting atop of a mountain

Unrelated, but the best thing for eye strain when working is to sit close to a window and focus your eyes on distant things every few minutes

Arduous never means "something that is slightly inconvenient" unless one is prone to exaggeration and has the forbearance of a child.

Not necessarily, no, not at all. I suggest a dictionary. Back in the day, people who cared about reading and the meaning of words would keep one handy, often next to the bed.
This is also what Alex explains in the Technology Connection video, and a lot more, with actual examples using actual lightbulbs and some surface explanations of the physics.
It also feels like each country going after them using their own local GDPR enforcement (or equivalent) is better than some EU level action (if that is even possible). It ties up Meta resources having to make more legal challenges, and it probably happens faster as well.

Just need EU countries to work together in a coordinated way so it starts having an effect on quarterly results. Rather than each fine being picked off one at a time.
In .Net we're using Serilog which supports CLEF[1], and I'm in the process of changing our non-.Net code to do structured logging to CLEF as well (I made an internal library to support structured logging).

Since Serilog supports consuming CLEF as well, this makes it trivial to upload the non-.Net logs to Azure Application Insights for example.

Might be other options as well, I didn't look much further as this fit our needs well.

edit: This doesn't completely solve the main point in the article of course, as the variables, error codes etc in the structured log message can change willy-nilly in a general system setting.

You will note that incandescent bulbs gradually get dimmer as they age, due to deposition of tungsten on the glass.

Also:

http://donklipstein.com/bulb1.html

"Due to the high temperature that a tungsten filament is operated at, some of the tungsten evaporates during use. Furthermore, since no light bulb is perfect, the filament does not evaporate evenly. Some spots will suffer greater evaporation and become thinner than the rest of the filament.
These thin spots cause problems. Their electrical resistance is greater than that of average parts of the filament. Since the current is equal in all parts of the filament, more heat is generated where the filament is thinner. The thin parts also have less surface area to radiate heat away with. This "double whammy" causes the thin spots to have a higher temperature. Now that the thin spots are hotter, they evaporate more quickly.
It becomes apparent that as soon as a part of the filament becomes significantly thinner than the rest of it, this situation compounds itself at increasing speed until a thin part of the filament either melts or becomes weak and breaks."

Halogen bulbs last longer because the sublimated tungsten is converted to volatile halides, which then preferentially decompose back to elemental tungsten at the hot spots, healing them.
