You can iterate on compliance _implementation_ if you keep some tollgate that guarantees all compliance business requirements are eventually met. In my opinion this is not the same as waterfall, and leaves room for experiments and iterative learning.

The (very) tricky part, in my experience, is to have these requirements captured in implementation-agnostic way. Even strict accounting reqs require huge amount of work for someone to deconstruct them down to actual compliance requirement, instead of something solution-specific like "we need to store X in component Y".

Not everyone wants to invest into this just for agility sake.
I think most companies would struggle in these circumstances. Co-ops can and do lay people off and/or reduce hours.

>There are several languages on the JVM which are that or better. As fast as C, no...

Like what? None of the ones i know of meet the "expressive, flexible and easy to learn as python" test.

> There's this myth that Python as a language is superior to JS. In reality both have their long history and warts. JS/V8 is just much faster.

I never said anything about being better or worse, just that as far as i know there's nothing about JS which makes it much easier to optimise than python.

I'm not arguing that python is the best thing to use for everything, or that there are no faster languages; that clearly isn't the case.

The topic is "why is python popular", you're arguing that it's too slow and it's too much effort to speed up code, while I'm arguing that there are no languages which are faster, and don't give up some of the things that made python popular in the first place.

Typically it’s most important for languages which haven’t yet hit the level of acceptance that people still worry about being allowed to use them.

> He merely said that those potential beings might not be aliens but might be resident of earth and maybe on other dimensions.

That might seem like a mere statement to some, and it is, but given the context it shifts my odds of whether he's worth taking seriously quite a bit. It's not the kind of baseless speculation serious, grounded people openly make.

I'm a bit in awe of the crocodile tears shed over all the personal risk these folks are taking, somehow being famous and respected enough to be defended by anonymous people on Hacker News never gets weighed on the other side of that equation...

There is a reason why KiwiFarms is not hosted in my country. We have hate speech and data privacy laws that would prevent it from being hosted here. All that dox crap alone violates the GDPR.

There even was a thread on that forum where the admin asked for advice about alternate hosting locations and could not find any.

The USA is the only country with speech laws permissive enough and data privacy laws weak enough for that site to be legal there.
Author here, that's a neat idea. However I also like the simplicity in having only one runtime interface. If the OS has to handle every version anyway, an app in the future could just use padding to feel like it is "clean".

struct Context{
padding: [u8;256], // old stuff
ctx: ContextV42
}

Just typing that felt a bit wrong though. On the other hand the app declaring what version it is feels like what executable formats (like elf) already solve. I am trying alternatives.

> What would have been a better transition model?

Better supporting cross-version transition codebases.

The core team initially saw the transition as “run 2to3, fix what’s left, publish updates, P2 is gone”, but aside from 2to3 being quite limited such transition is quite hard for dependencies, as it means they leave all older dependents behind entirely (dependents which might be the primary user for e.g. company-sponsored projects), or they have to keep two different codebases in sync (which is hard), plus the limitations of pypi in terms of versions segregation.

What ended up happening instead was libraries would update to 2.7 then to cross-version codebases, this way their downstream could migrate at their leisure, a few years down the line people started dropping P2.

> Are there any languages with major breaking changes that have done the upgrade smoothly?

Some but usually statically typed languages e.g. elm’s upgrade tool worked pretty well as long as you didn’t have native modules and all your dependencies had been ported. I think the swift migrator ended up working pretty well after a while (Swift broke compatibility a lot “initially”) though I’ve less experience with that.

An alternative, again for statically typed languages more than dynamically typed ones, is to allow majorly different versions of the language to cohabit e.g. editions in Rust (Rust shares the stdlib between all editions but technically you could version the stdlib too).

Not workable for Python, not just because it doesn’t really have the tooling (it has some with the __future__ imports but nowhere near enough) but also because it changed runtime data model components specifically the entire string data model, which is not a small matter (and was by far the most difficult part of the transition, and why they piled on smaller breakages while at it really).
Wow first pollen, now solar. Talk about building resilient communities.
With the advent of GPU coding and the number of people exposed to it there is a chance that enough people are willing and able to try unfamiliar architectures if it gives them an advantage that this just might be viable now.
> If they're going to release a new flagship every year, how does that make them any better (from a sustainbility POV) to the morally and ethically bankrupt companies they're competing with?

By removing many reasons for you to buy a new smartphone every 3 years:
- when your screen breaks, you won't have to pay the price of a new smartphone to replace it
- your apps won't stop working because they want the shiniest OS you don't have (because you'll have it)
- when you're out of storage because apps will have inflated 5 times again, you'll be able to extend storage
- they give you financial incentive to keeping your device (see their subscription model) -- and they give themselves the incentive to make the longest-living product!
- when your battery gets lower charges (which I believe they already efforts to make slower)

Even if you want to buy a new fairphone in 3 years for a shinier camera, your previous fairphone will still be perfectly usable, and still be repairable for a long time.

I agree that it's a bit sad they don't have "plus upgrades", but reducing their work to just the plus upgrades is very extreme.

Also I agree that releasing a new device every year doesn't exactly sound right, but at work we work a huge lot on sustainability (for money reasons), and the conclusion remains that we need a new device every year. Basically the reasoning is that we can't foresee 10 years ahead what will make current devices obsolete. Maybe RAM price will plunge and all devices will have ten times the amount of RAM (and apps will eat ten times more RAM). Maybe some stupid instruction-set will become mandatory. Maybe apps will no longer be usable on sRGB screen. Maybe /that/ Vulkan extension that requires specific hardware will be used by Unity and thus breaking all new games. So one way to reduce the risk (as in total cost of obsolescence), is to make new products regularly, so the amount of devices in production with obsolete hardware is reduced.
I get the sentiment "I don't need it", but I do not understand the lack of consideration when you are landlord. The whole Corona WFH rush has demonstrated that digital infrastructure is an asset. If you have decent internet, you can either WFH yourself or attract people in roles allowing for WFH to your rental property. While tech workers (higher chance of WFH) in Germany are paid nowhere close to US salaries, they tend to be above average earners. Not sure why landlords do not see this simple (to me at least) connection between future rent opportunities and digital infrastructure.

Also, it does not even need to be something the individual landlord needs to figure out. As GP stated, rural areas can benefit of WFH. So a clever local official can figure out they need to build out infrastructure and(!) convince local landlords and developers to take part in this transformation.

The article focuses on the fact that nobody checks citations, but that isn't a problem specific to history. It's more like a general issue with academia. Science papers have the exact same problem. I found during COVID many papers being widely cited in the press as the consensus of experts which had bogus citations in them.

But there are other issues that are actually specific to history. Some years ago I had fun writing a series of essays about these, through the framing of conspiracy theories about history.

Part 1 looks at claims that key historical sources might have been forged during the Renaissance.

https://blog.plan99.net/meta-historical-conspiracies-part-1-...

Part 2 looks at problems with astronomical dating methodologies.

https://blog.plan99.net/meta-historical-conspiracies-part-2-...

Part 3 looks at methods like radiocarbon dating and tree ring counting.

https://blog.plan99.net/meta-historical-conspiracies-part-3-...

The goal here was to describe other people's claims about historical "replication problems" for entertainment purposes rather than try and discern the truth, so I wouldn't argue they're all real. But the trend towards presenting history as scientific doesn't gel well with the culture in the academic humanities. As dmvdoug writes, historians don't really care about even basic things like whether citations are accurate, let alone more debatable things like the accuracy of radiocarbon dating or whether sources have plausible chains of custody. And as the story of Henry Cort demonstrates, historians will happily make up narratives from whole cloth if it advances their ideological agenda, yet nobody within the academy seems to care.

What are the unique, useful features you’re thinking of from safari?

(This sounds like a sarcastic, leading question, but it’s genuine. I don’t know this space well at all.)
"He merely said that those potential beings might not be aliens but might be resident of earth and maybe on other dimensions."

All of which are as credible options as angles, faeries and gods. Just calling your hypothetical entity "coming from other dimension" is not any more credible than calling them "magical". The claims are completely similar as notions of mythological creatures of the past. But now a cultural diet of science fiction has altered the flavour of the narrative, if not the context.

"It’s quite disheartening to see this person putting himself and his career in jeopardy being discredited.."

There are also people who are in pathological search of attention. Or claim such influence as wichcraft or Jesus influencing daily events. If you put your career on jeopardy and are revealed to be a crackpot, it is of course unfortunate for the person, but not for those whose life his actions affect.
Ions mean there's some positive electric charge. When you move some ions to one side of membrane, you have charge imbalance. When you have a charge imbalance between two sides of some insulator (cellular membrane), you have voltage potential. You can use that potential to do work (like light a diode, turn a motor or do some calculations).
i think it's rather the political establishment has allowed big tech to set the agenda for what it considers to be "the truth"
I'm glad you brought up iteration in the context of waterfall.

I do agree that the elements of analysis/reqs/spec etc are all vital. What isn't obviously necessary is that they happen in a rigid linear sequence. The point of MVP is to get from implementation back to analysis & requirements.

By iterating through the steps in a non-linear way, you get better results for each step. I'd argue that requirements gathering is the hardest to get right and the part that most frequently fails, probably because workers are not consulted and, even if they are, they don't speak the same language as the analysts.

So I believe that waterfall is still a good methodology, but (in most cases) only if it is done as a directed cyclic graph rather than a strict linear sequence, such that blocks of steps can be repeated.

This breaks estimation, but estimation is broken anyway. It offers that each step is, finally, done right, but recognising that the first attempt at each step is bound to be wrong and must be iterated on.

Does this match your view?

It should be noted that some security vulnerabilities, such as firmware blobs and binary blob drivers, can't be fixed by LineageOS. Certain Broadcom WiFi chipsets had RCE vulnerabilities in them, for instance, and these devices also run an entirely separate Linux install on the modem chip that rarely receives updates, if ever.

While LineageOS can easily extend a phone's lifetime by several years, it's not a real replacement for manufacturer support. I think GrapheneOS's take makes sense, especially for a security-oriented ROM.

It does, but the majority of people in the US use iPhones so unless Apple decides to support it, it's somewhat irrelevant.
Electric cars are mainstream in many countries, and I think a reasonable argument could be made that they are mainstream in the US now.

Fairphone is manufactured in Asia where wages are lower. Most smartphones are not made in sweatshops, so while pay may be low, it's unlikely that Fairphone are paying >2x the wages, and I'd bet it's fairly close to the wages others are paying.

I suspect most of their increased costs come from small production runs, and smaller purchase orders for components rather than paying workers more. These are issues that scale well as they become mainstream.

> They can't do magic

This is unfortunately true. I suspect getting to real scale would require investment of the level that Fairphone are unlikely to ever be able to get with their values. This is a failure of society and incentives, but complaining about it isn't going to fix it.

I feel like a better approach would be for Fairphone to tackle one issue, and make a phone that it much more competitive based on that, and scale up the issues they tackle as the business scales.

> Given that my last 3 phones all died when I dropped them

Might I recommend a phone case? I don't think I've ever heard of a phone breaking more than the screen visually cracking after dropping, even without a case, besides I think one time my cousin was repairing a phone whose touchscreen didn't work correctly anymore. I'm sure it happens but the amount of luck to have that three times in a row seems odd.

As for most of them being too large (especially the cheapest ones), I agree, that's why I bought a smaller phone second hand.

Given how horribly the biggest trucks drive around me (NYC suburbs), I’m all in favor of treating trucks like trucks.

If you’re over 3000lb then you get speed limited to 55, require additional driving licensing for the heavier, more cumbersome special purpose vehicle, etc.

Treat trucks like trucks and encourage behavior in the direction that’s societally appropriate.

The cars overtaking me the most are 5,000lb F250s and 2500s doing 80+. They’re the same ones racing on 25mph residential streets, and over taking school buses.

The size and protection is a moral hazard that causes incredibly bad behavior.

And that’s before you get to the morons with the serious lifts and 35”+ tires, deliberately rolling coal as they drive around.

Serverless is a relatively new marketing term, old by tech world standards, whereby you "don't need infrastructure". Your code gets executed into sort of virtual machines "small enough" to boot up on demand and execute your specific code. You don't need to manage dependencies or os configs. You define an "entry point" within your chosen programing language and the vm executes it on demand. The vm stays active for a set time. Beyond that time a new request requires a "cold start" - this can be slow if the OS' boot time is slow.

Also this is meant to make things easier and cheaper. But they are anything but easier and anything but cheaper compared to non serverless. It also leads to captive customers. But it drives a whole industry of training, consulting and selling AWS services.

I am after all a breast fed first born so that must give me at least 6 extra IQ points - and I talk a lot of shit, which is similar to lying… which according to this article is another sign.

The out of stock is indeed a problem, question is, is this a temporary problem or outofstock forever?

Fp never afaik promised a modular phone, just a phone with support for more years and easy to repair, not easy to upgrade. Fp4 is directed at new users, not at users of fp3, but you can still(afaik) send them fp3 to recycle and take a new fp4 if you want

Modular phone is a wet dream for many, and it can be cool, but afaik bc of complexity it remains just a dream
