You can make a phone call, browse the web, send messages. Note that the modem keeps rebooting itself randomly (sometimes once a day, sometimes once every 10 minutes, with all firmware versions - this means entering the PIN again, finding the network, etc), so if you have to make phonecalls at least somewhat reliably, PinePhone is not for you. Same for PinePhonePro - the same crap modem is used in that also. Personally I have a dumb Nokia with me all the time, in case I have to use a phone, and the PP has a data-only SIM.

As of 2023 there is 1 actively supported email client with a mobile and touchscreen optimized "interface": Geary (at least that I know about). The scarequotes are there with a reason: you can't set up your account without connecting the phone to an external monitor: the Next/Cancel buttons are out of the screen during the setup. Normally I would laugh, but now I don't feel like it. Have no idea if it works afterwards, I just deleted it at that point.

Note if you'd decide to get one: at least original PP is kind of abandoned. It is still a nice toy, but I wouldn't hold my breath that anything widely supported and usable will be published on it.
Bahraini Dinar (and some other Dinars I believe) use 3 digits for their currency. I wouldn't assume no dollar does it. Sure, it's very unlikely. But if you've never dealt with some other currency, it may not by that obvious.

In a followup post he explains why actually almost the opposite is true - split your buckets into 2 groups, pick a random A and B from each group and if it's a draw, always load A first. This means buckets in the B group will likely be 1 less loaded than servers in the A group.

i moved to London a decade ago, and it's incredible how much the city has changed. whole new neighborhoods have been built on the sites of former industrial parks. existing neighborhoods are expanding, and new skyscrapers are appearing all over the place. even new (and huge) infrastructure projects.

as a european, this change is something special. in europe you will rarely find a city as big and important as London where there is so much construction taking place in every single corner of the city.
A lot of this seems to come down to pricing. Don’t get me wrong, I agree the pricing is predatory. But if it’s that big a deal and you use AWS, just use the CDK. At least you’ll get state management with AWS.

And it literally costs you zero, no matter how many resources you have.

For offline things, I agree - the people keeping older versions of Photoshop working, for example, are getting plenty of value and saving money.

For a network service, however, I think this is worse than doing nothing: continuing to use Twitter at this point is not neutral but actually supporting and rewarding Musk for every decision he’s made, and your use of a social network encourages people you know to stay there. That means that you’re not only not finding a long-term replacement, you’re making it harder for one to exist.

The idea of hiding information from the user, just for me to get it from bug tracking and support tickets is not something I could jive with.
Tmux is great for monitoring remote systems. I simply have htop along with some other monitoring tools in a window, and other windows to run commands on my remotes. Combined with autossh, it means I can just be always-connected to my remote devices. Tmux keeps the sessions open on each machine, and autossh reconnects to them from my device when the network is back within reach. That way I just have one tab per remote.
Last year I've been asked by a guy for directions to the hotel where he was staying.

It standed out for me because:

a) he was clearly in his early 20s

b) he asked me this after boarding the bus on the same stop as me

c) he could find out the directions just by using a plethora of map/navigation (GPS for Americans) apps available here

d) he was going the wrong way

Just yesterday I saw a woman trying to find out which route she needs to board. She was in ~50s and I can bet $10 she had an Android phone => at least Google Maps. She just didn't even though about using it.

So despite it's 2023 there are people there who still live like it's 1990.

Show HN: How AI Sees You
Hey HN!

Have you ever wondered how AI imagines you?
I've built this app that uses AI to create a picture of you, based on your country, body type, hair, beard and age.

I believe it's pretty fun, and you can browse through other people's (fake) pictures.

Feel free to share your thoughts, and enjoy!

I think it's worth noting that some of the most celebrated programmers have been self-taught – think Aaron Swartz, John Carmack, George Hotz and so on. Among leading academics also, it's not unusual to find those without formal undergraduate degrees in CS. Many come from mathematics backgrounds, including several Turing Award recipients.

In the world of software development, degrees have often held less sway, and I think this trend will only become more pronounced. Too much focus on CS degrees I feel does not account for the inherent nature of the role - and I say this as a CS grad from a top school.

In germany it's similiar, but 95%.
That might explain the high premium
> That said, there are indeed a lot more things that are in general better in Germany than in India, and this rant of mine was the result of a year of frustrated dealings with German bureaucracy (not that that makes any of the points I raised invalid though).

And as a German let me say that you are totally right, when it comes to the bureaucracy. While most of the time the bureaucracy doesn't fell too bad for standard German citizens, I can well imagine that it is horrible for you and that it feels really oldfashioned.

All other points are not wrong but debatable, which dhruvrajvanshi already did. The problems that our nations face are both abundant but also quite different.

As an aside:
I also perceived you're post as too blunt and slightly unfair, just as some of the people in the sub-reddits probably felt. On the other hand sub-reddits are full of awful people and I can imagine that you have to deal with a lot of rudeness and prejudices yourself. I could understand where you were coming from and understood why you expressed yourself in this way after beuing frustrated by the German Bureaucracy. The quoted clarification was useful.

Sounds like Japan had a massive fear campaign around Covid that might make Japanese people less likely to be willing to travel. It is a pity, although this will make Japan stay more authentic for longer, as the less Japanese people travel, the more distance there will be between Western culture and them. As someone who might want to visit Japan some day this might even be good news.

I am not aware of any such catalog, so I had to compile one for my personal use from reading a very large number of old documents.

There are a few books about the history of programming languages, but they are mostly descriptive and contain little comparative analysis of the value of various features. Moreover because due to space limitations they have to mention only a part of the features of the languages that are described, the choice of what to mention and what to ignore in the description of a language may be not the most appropriate from the POV of an experienced programmer.

Therefore I have found more useful the original manuals of various programming languages, from when they have been launched, during the fifties, sixties and seventies of the 20th century. After 1980 the pace of innovations has slowed a lot and most of the languages that introduced those innovations are still used today, so finding documentation about them is no longer difficult.

While C was itself an innovative language, the fact that it included very few of the features of the languages contemporaneous with it ensured that many of those features are not available even today in mainstream languages, while other features have become widely used only after decades after their invention, for instance iterators have already been introduced in 1974, in the same year with C, but they have been revived only a quarter of a century later.

Fortunately now there are a handful of Internet sites dedicated to the preservation of the history of computers and programming languages, from where it is easy to download most of the old documentation.
I have never heard of a food bank in Ontario offering food with passed expiration dates. I previously volunteered there and most of the food was from grocery stores/corporate donors, but not expired.
Today and the past 2-3 years have been the perfect time to attack Google's monopoly regarding searches. Their results have never had worse quality - but if you try to take them over with the same crap results but with AI, then I got some bad news for you.

Back then PageRank was a genius idea, and I still think it is - would be interesting to see how it would perform today, if someone would implement whatever Google had 20 years ago...
Trying to manage solar panels in a war zone would be a nightmare. It paints a big target on the map. Actually a target precisely the size of the gathered troops. I don’t recommend it.
Perhaps, but if you take the "single person with strong control" path then I think you tend to get a different set of failure cases instead. For a small language, a benevolent-dictator can (unintentionally, through bad decisions) take the language in a direction that just causes it to dwindle into insignificance. For a large language, they can make mis-steps with big consequences (maybe the Python 2->3 transition counts here?).

Sometimes what an established language needs is mostly "write things down, keep all the implementations moving in the same direction, don't make big changes or break compatibility", and in that situation a committee can be a good approach. I think the C standards committee have overall done a reasonable job within that kind of remit.

Sure, but that's also not comparable. Dubai's population was 20.000 (!) in 1950. 500k in 1990, 3+ million today. That's a ~150x growth over the lifetime of a single person. London has grown by I think 20-ish percent over the last thirty years and was alreay affluent and large decades ago. Which is still pretty swift compared to Berlin or Paris. The kind of catch up growth where cities are built out of nothing an old city cannot compete with.
What I like to do is to make pictures of mundane parts of my life, my desk while working, the living room while watching tv when it is a mess. Things like that. Later in live these pictures are the most valuable to me. They are full of little nostalgic memories.
I also like taking pictures of nature, forests, insects etc. but I actually never look at them again.
I’ve never been, but I’m told street signs in Guam and Hawaii are often also in Japanese.
The US is so huge that you literally cannot visit another country by land (save Canada, aka Diet US; or Mexico, aka California Sur) - and there are definitely regional variations but it’s all much more similar than even a couple hundred miles in Europe.

A common school trip in the USA is visiting Washington, DC; for some that’s a six+ hour flight. The same flight in most places in Europe would put you in Asia or Africa.

I just stayed at an Airbnb in Crown Heights (Brooklyn) a week ago, and knowing nothing about the neighborhood but wanting to eat a meal there, found that Google Maps was a little overwhelming. It was nice to skim some articles that seemed human-curated; it at least gave me an idea about where the hotspots of the neighborhood are and what kind of cuisine I should be favoring.

During the solar eclipse of 2017, I drove to a small town in eastern Nebraska. The town had a 10k race that day. There were about 3 cars, including mine, on this stretch of road. Stop-and-going inbetween the runners. While my wife drove, I watched Google Maps. It accurately put a short red line on our part of the road. Amused me though that it only took 3 cars to accomplish that.
Could it be that you're confusing "undefined behavior" with "implemented-defined behavior"?
I'm tired.

In my initial comment, I leapt from methane to greenhouse gasses. Someone pointed out the error and said methane is only 20 percent of all greenhouse gasses.

In a different comment, I said we need 50 to 100 such projects but I think I'm still just making errors in my head. It may be 5 to 10.

Since 1700, we've lost 85 percent of our wetlands. Peat stores a lot more carbon than forests.

I think this project makes it sound doable to find enough threads to pull to calm things down, but I'm really not coping well with the math which is likely convincing people I'm an idiot. People default to thinking this isn't fixable anyway. They need very little in the way of excuses to stand on that.
I imagine for your friend the computer, ultimately, was a commodity, and if you think of computers as a commodity then the looks are one of the only distinguishing factors.

Similarly, how much of people's car-buying decisions come down to looks? Sure things like "how many seats" or cargo capacity matter but I imagine looks/perceived status boost are the biggest factor for a lot of people.

Hell, I don't like admitting it but I actively dislike my cheapo phone (Nokia G22) in part because I think the colour is dumb. (Also modern Android kinda sucks, but that's a different story).
For me personally using a translator app just adds an additional layer of awkward to every interaction. Where you have to fiddle with it and the other person might not understand how to interact with it right away. It's not a huge problem, but if your not super confident already, it might be enough to discourage you.
When I went to japan, lots of people where very hesitant to use their english. Like they didn't want to embarass themselves. I'd never really experienced that before, everywhere else I had gone to previously, people's drive to communicate was usually a lot stronger than their drive to hide weak language skills.
>Every single thing is so obsolete. Nothing is digitized. Everything requires a giant stack of actual paperwork to be taken to an office where the whims of the clerk dictate everything. A million rules exist in the hopes that they cover all possible scenarios, but inevitable they don't and if you happen to have a scenario which is not covered, you're shit out of luck because the clerk is sure as shit not going to put their ass on the line and make a decision not explicitly present in the rule book.

My spouse and I got married "early" in the court system for a similar reason, in order to qualify for in-state tuition. However, we then had a proper wedding in front of our family and community a few months later, so I'm not sure it would really matter to the policy makers. Definitely helped drive home for us, though: there are three different marriages in a marriage:

There is a legal contract, that is important to people you have never met and will never meet, and, if things are going right, is never at all relevant to your actual marriage in any way except for how it lets you navigate government policy.

There is a social contract, that is important to everyone who acknowledges you as a couple (and also people who have never business seeing you this way).

And there is your actual relationship, which may be enhanced or degraded by the previous two elements, but is somewhat oblique to both.

Wait, there are spiders IN THE SEA?! Tight. Even more places where I can't relax my arachnophobia.
I am not the one deciding on terminology. In this case, both copper and aluminium are crystalline metals. Any lump of these is actually formed of a lot of smaller crystals bunched up together in what we call polycrystals. This is why they don't have the nice geometrical shapes people tend to associate with crystals in pop culture. But depending on how the material was made, these geometrical features can be seen with a magnifier or a microscope.

I am not blaming you, I know the knowledge of the general population of this sort of things is not great and you cannot know it before some tells you. A whole bunch of new age scams would completely fall apart if most people actually knew what a crystal is and where we can find them.

They are not ceramics because this is used for compounds with elements such as oxygen or nitrogen, which is not applicable here. Aluminium oxide, Al2O3, which used in sapphire "glass" in watches, is a ceramic that contains aluminium.
