I once had a colleague who started every commit message with an emoji. It became tiring very quickly.

Still, the odd facepalm, bug or bomb once in a while doesn't really do any harm.

I use the robot emoji in my ~/.mailmap so I can easily identify bot commits (dependabot, snykbot etc) when scanning through commit logs locally.
Emojis are God's way of getting english-speaking developers to test characters outside the ASCII range.
I don't think so.

It seems more about having the world's largest financial network.
This is the only one I'm following myself:

Agreed.

The whole emoji phenomenon is a kind of infantilizing cultural rot -- it makes serious, static documentation and tooling resemble a children's book and hinders live communication by encouraging vague single-pictogram messages and the expression of raw emotions (genuine or not) instead of mature and balanced thoughts.
The biggest thing for me with any journaling app is privacy. Anything going off-device and not staying local is an automatic no from me. Anything using OpenAI is another no from me.

That said, I think it's a nice idea and would think it's best for mobile devices and needs to be easy to open/use. Like Apple's Voice Memos but better. I think a great combo would be speech-to-text, but also a search function that combines text but also speech-to-text. Provide Shortcuts for power users, etc.

It seems to be relevant to lifetime, though not the dominant factor in most cases. There is an annoying shortage of actual data on this online though (the best actual experiment I can find is mythbusters where a 2-minute on-off cycle caused a failure in two weeks, which is obviously extreme but shows how rapid cycling can affect lifespan).
You may not have seen it but the tweet is part of a thread. The thread mentions exactly the data you ask for.

And, you may not have seen it but the account is that of the condensed matter theory center at the university of Maryland. The people working there are at https://www.physics.umd.edu/cmtc/people.html .
There's a study by the authors? I mean if they just said that I was a hoax by the authors that'd be one thing, but they did specifically mention the data has spoken so...
May I ask why you decided to use a condenser?
meissner effect != complete meissner effect, but i can see how that would be confusing

there was no meissner effect measured in this substance
This is a naive view of the burden of proof. The reality is that anyone that actually cares already knows the situation: we are waiting on reproductions. This Tweet pretty clearly implies that there’s been some sort of new insight. That’s the obvious and intended plain language effect it’s having. Ham-fistedly applying “burden of proof!” Is just being tone deaf.

> There is no insurmountable physics at play when a phone stops receiving security updates.

There is the “insurmountable physics” problem of needing to spend money on something perceived as having no ROI worth speaking about (if it’s even positive).

This is what most “planned obsolescence in the modern day” is about, not spending money you don’t absolutely have to. The precision of modern manufacturing and the progress of material science similarly allows very low tolerances, because you don’t need to account for anywhere near as much manufacturing variance. Therefore you can hew much closer to what you need to provide, and lower your costs as a result.

An other factor is the market cycling, why would you design a phone to last for 10 years when pretty much none of your target market will keep the phone 3, and it will net you no brand loyalty whatsoever?

Finally there’s time to market, pretty much all foldable phones seem to suffer from cracking or delamination, because it’s a super popular idea which commands a huge premium, so as soon as that was an option manufacturers started releasing device with limited real-world durability testing.
Interestingly (but commercially) the very popular Line app, which IMO has the best "stickers," lets you do something like this.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Line_(software)

If I buy a set of stickers (little animations, much more expressive than emojis) I can send them to anyone in chats, or I can send the set as a gift to that user; in the latter case, the user can add them to their library.

Your library is the standard stickers, any free stickers you've added, anything you've bought, and anything you've been gifted.

The end result is that some people have a fairly distinct sticker-communication style because they have in their library relatively obscure ones, or just like to use the less-popular free ones.

In theory anyone can make their own stickers but it's kind of a pain, and I haven't gotten around to it:

https://creator.line.me/en/stickermaker/

So in my ideal world, we'd not have any emojis that can't be reduced to expressive ASCII, but we'd have a massive public library of freely available SVG Stickers with accessibility features, and all the chat apps would use them.
It's a tweet, the more carefully worded stuff is in scientific papers. I don't mind. The scientists can be colloquial on twitter if they're formal in the papers, like how pop science can turn "we have detected these wavelengths in a handful of photons from this point in space" into "EXTRATERRESTRIAL LIFE DISCOVERED IN BLUE GOLDILOCKS ZONE EXOPLANET"

The tahitans can deal with communication just fine with only 13 letters, so I guess we could probably trim the letters b, c, d and g out of unicode too.

With enough optimisation we might just be able to communicate with just a boolean-based language.

And it luckily has a journald module, which actually can log some fields in a structured manner. But even that doesn't seem to go far enough according to the docs.

There is a difference between saying "We believe LK-99 is NOT a superconductor" and "We do not believe LK-99 is a superconductor". The former is a hypothesis, the latter is a rejection of a hypothesis. The latter is really just expressing a return to an agnostic base state. Hence, the former requires evidence, and the latter is the null hypothesis.
You write them down. With letters and words.

The citation for that sentence does back up the assertion: there's a quote from someone in the source saying that the cartel didn't meaningfully increase efficiency but did shorten lifespans.

Fine fixed to profit will do no damage as oppose to fixed to revenue, because profit comes after all expenses so the fine will have no effect, apart from maybe hurting shareholders a little. I agree with your general sentiment though.
"Stolen". Do you think taxes are theft?

The idea of property is a legal one. It has no other basis in the world - if a democracy decides that property is forfeit if the law is broken, that is perfectly fine. See also, wealth taxes.

People already buy shares in these companies because they are profitable, and likely to remain so in the future. The problem is passive investment (which is forced on most people as pension funds don't "pass through" the right to vote) means people don't have to govern these organisations to protect the value of their investments. Fines are the cost of doing business.

If the stakes were "use it lawfully or lose it" the shareholders might realistically become more inclined to take action against boards who allow mismanagement. That's what this is, by the way: mismanagement with global consequences.

Investment won't go anywhere because people will always seek a return on their capital. The idea that they would rather see that capital inactive and atrophying over time rather than complying with simple and clear rules around corporate conduct is absurd.
More like the opposite, by making ties with other countries, Taiwan will win some geopolitical points.

Very nice diagrams, they make the article really easy to follow! This really drives the point home that vector search isn't only a qantitative (as in faster), but a qualitative evolutionary step.

For a period, Britain tried to keep its car industry going through protectionism. This went out the window when they joined Europe, of course, but by then the car industry was in a very bad way anyway. Protectionism _alone_ won’t save an industry (possibly unless it is very absolutist North Korean style protectionism; “you _must_ buy British Leyland’s crap; it is literally the only option”.) Otherwise, protectionism might slow the decline a bit, but it won’t save an industry determined to destroy itself.
UK Electoral Commission systems breached by cyber-attack
During the cyber-attack, the perpetrators had access to the Commission’s servers which held our email, our control systems, and copies of the electoral registers.

They were able to access reference copies of the electoral registers, held by the Commission for research purposes and to enable permissibility checks on political donations. The registers held at the time of the cyber-attack include the name and address of anyone in the UK who registered to vote between 2014 and 2022, as well as the names of those registered as overseas voters. The registers did not include the details of those registered anonymously. The Commission’s email system was also accessible during the attack.
I don't speak good emoji though; I understand the smiley face, but what does posting the family emojis mean? What is it used for?

Nobody I know or have seen online replaces random words with emoji for brevity. That's annoying. At worst I've seen ironic posts or trying to be hip outlets adding the emoji for a word after the word itself, or use them as bullet point markers.

It reminds me of a thing where it was like, "elephants are so smart because they can use this trumpet to communicate danger", and someone pointed out that humans can do that too by using words. Mind blown.
Writing style and unique patterns (like time of posting, argument frequency, ideology affiliation, and so on) are some of the things that could reveal someone’s identity and result in actions taken against him.

Ask HN: How do you incrementally stage PRs for a larger feature in Git/GitHub?
I like to keep my PRs small. Incrementally rolling out a larger feature to main gradually. Usually indicating the larger direction in the PR, but showing how this PR is an earlier stage of a larger plan.

The small PRs are easier to meaningfully review. Nothing sucks more than getting a giant 10k line PR to suddenly review and pretend to have meaningful input about.

But the show must go on. I must continue to develop my feature at step N+1 while colleagues take time to review the PR at step N.

I wanted to check with other devs - how do you personally do this?

- Do you create a branch off step N for step N+1?

- Do you keep a feature branch and gradually merge segments to main when they're ready?

- Do you wait for a merge to main, and nag people?

I personally often do the latter, get things into main. And find other non-dev work to do. But often this takes a hit to my momentum behind a feature. Yet if I get too off on a branch without feedback/input I could end up wasting my dev time if I go to far in a direction that turns out not to be agreeable with the team.

Are there any documented best practices / methods / workflows for using git (and version control in general) to manage this?
Pedantry incoming-

one of my greatest pet peeves is when some words in a list, or diagram, are in their adjectival form and some are in their verbal form. "Surprising" + "horrify"

E.g. here at Genericorp, we prioritize the following valurs : integrity, kindness, honest,

> Unless they decide they do…the strange thing about sovereignty in a democracy

Not how sovereignty works. Oslo’s extraterritorial enforcement is bound by treaties that set limits on what it can do. It ultimately requires others’ coöperation.

In practice, we delegate this to courts. The EU’s track record there is put to shame only by the FTC. Oslo, uniquely, seems to be ignoring the siren calls of fist pounding to populists in favour of prodding Facebook to change.

QAnon is a phenomenon of a reaction about the story about Russian collusion. That was a conspiracy theory spread by many news orgs. Some which were so determined to spread the message of collusion without a shred of evidence that people suspected that perhaps news orgs collaborated in shaping it. I think that is a completely valid and even necessary assumption.
