Yes, cellular modems with RJ11 phone ports do exist. From memory, the ZTE MF275 and the MF288 were such units (both are discontinued, though). You could receive phone calls through it.

Technically speaking, it is an "ATA", but you can't control the FXS port, as it's directly linked to the number associated with the SIM card.

Another solution would be using a cellular router in conjunction with a "normal" manageable ATA, which lets you configure the FXS port with a remote SIP account.

I think you can even find some stuff on ebay/aliexpress that combines both functionalities, but I never tried them (and would be worried of lack of support or firmware updates).
> I think Dr Battacharya telegraphed his political opinions in a way that brought him into direct conflict with the establishment.

Everyone with a shred of independent thought has opinions that conflict with the establishment.

And everyone has a right to express those opinions, on Twitter and Facebook and anywhere else, without facing global censorship and smear campaigns from their own government.

It's bizarre to me that people aren't pissed about this - I guess it would be seen as 'helping the other team'. Seems to me that treating politics as sport is stupid and dangerous, but apparently that's an opinion, rather than accepted common sense.

Visual Basic 6 was very productive - yes. But it was considered by many to be a toy language (it didn't support class inheritance for one).

VB.NET - at least initial versions - was about productive as C#, thus there was no incentive to use VB.

The thing that made VB6 super productive was it's form designer. The .NET successor - WinForms designer - wasn't nearly as fast and capable (to this day, really).

The switch and the Steam Deck are effectively a tablet hybrid form factor (both are portable and have touch screens), just with the controller integrated or come packaged standard. Docking stations are something tablets handle fine too, Switch and Steam Deck just have that mode of operation as a forethought.

All that to say, you can argue consoles in some cases are moving more in the direction of tablets and phones to capture that wider market.

Sure, if Amazon sold about 10 products, such a URL scheme would work great. Additionally, this constantly redirects to the latest version of the iPhone, whereas Amazon's URLs are pointing to a specific version.

Agree. A cheap home device that you can plug in would be very cool.

Note that this is at odds with a school of thought in Nostr that says each different niche app or niche interest should use a different relay.

Your suggestion would be a different way of thinking. Primarily one that is focused on maximizing different event kinds for each niche use case rather than having less event kinds and more single-purpose relays.

You bring up a good point, which is that I remember most the GUI builder. Basic isn't really that great a language, all things considered. But being able to quickly design and deploy GUI apps with VB was better than anything I've encountered since.

There are things like WebFlow and FlutterFlow but those tools feel clunky by comparison.
That must be a US thing. Any time I've gotten a new phone (be it iPhone -> iPhone, iPhone -> Android or Android -> iPhone or even Sony Ericsson -> Sony Ericsson back in the day) I've just popped out the SIM from the old phone and put it in the new. The most recent was iPhone 7 -> iPhone 12 and it just worked then as usual.

The only exception is when they've moved to a physically smaller SIM card format.

Sure, nobody can say you "can't do" something with Linux. But the "can't" is more meant as "can't easily do".

To give you an example - I have a small+fast SSD for my OS and a large+slow spinning disk for data storage. When I install software on Windows I sometimes point to the other drive. This task is easier to do on Windows. The last I looked at it, Linux had a solution, but it was very convoluted. I see computer hardware and software products as purely a means to an end, I will use whatever that gets the job done.

Each person only has a limited quota of things that they can give a lot of energy to, and for me F/OSS is not something that I particularly go out of my way to support. My 'things that I give a shit about' quota is filled to the brim with the work I'm doing in healthcare.
If you want to understand the opposition, you should start by reading and listening to the arguments put forth instead of assuming racism. The fact that you seem to default to that conclusion is showing that your not listening to opposing opinions, and instead utilizing your inherent bias to make a judgement call. Which then reinforces your idea that the other side has no argument, is racist, and therefor should be ignored.
And that's the problem with the law.

> eSIM provides just so much better experience.

No, it only provides a better experience if you change SIM card more often than you change your phone, which isn't the case for most people.

eSIM card transfer can be a hassle, expensive or outright impossible because it's up to the telco to decide it. I had to visit a store in Thailand to transfer my SIM card. I had to pay $ to re-download my eSIM for another operator. I was simply told "can't do" with a still-active eSIM I bought from Airalo.

Definitely nice to "download SIM cards" instead of buying them, but everything that follows is a pain.

> To me the biggest thing I see happening is that having multiple sims becomes the norm.

Dual SIM is quite common now: my last few phones have carried two to save me carrying two devices. It would be nice if true multi-SIM became an option⁰ which by removing the need for physical card eSIMs would enable. If nothing else, this would make testing networks when considering a switch much easier.

I go out on trail running and treking events, and carry two SIMs for extra safety², being able to do so in one phone is more convenient than needing to carry an extra device. My main network has better reception/throughput/etc. in a few places that matter to me, and a suitable service/cost balance for my use patterns, the second one is a PAYG arrangement on Vodafone which (mainly because they use a different signal band) gets at least some reception in many places in the middle of nowhere where other carriers do not. I'm not sure is a third option would help here though, IIRC all providers use the same main frequency range with one or two having a bit of bandwidth in one other.

> In order to compete on the global stage we need artists, writers, people willing to specialize in cultural affairs.

I agree with you, but the students still need to pay for that college education. Americans especially end up with a lot of (undischargeable) student loans because of higher education. It's a luxury to get a degree as an artist, writer, or something in the arts, without having to worry about how you will repay those loans.
> codify migration practices

I think this won't work: no one really wants to touch a system that works, and people will try to find any excuse to avoid migrating.
The reason of this is that everyone prefers systems that work and fails in known way rather new systems that no one knows how can it fail.
This is where the debugger comes in. You can use the one built in to Chrome if you have your source maps set up, but it's often easier to use the IDE one (VScode and Webstorm both have it built in). You might have to set up ignored files (like the generic Next stuff and the node modules and whatnot), then set breakpoints either in the files you're working with (if you know) or at some sane entry point to your app in general (if you don't know exactly), then carefully step through the lines of code.

It's a bit of a learning curve but really powerful once you learn it.

Is that what you mean, or did I misunderstand? Like if you were thinking about it in terms of scraping someone else's code that you can't as easily debug, that's harder (you can still do it to some degree in Chrome, but it may be minified etc). Probably a lot of regex, assuming the string isn't obfuscated in code.
That's not true. For the last few iPhone upgrade cycles, everytime I got a new iPhone I just removed the SIM it came with, and popped in my old one. Everything worked. The only time i replaced the SIM was when 5G came out and it required a new SIM to work.

There's still no better GUI toolkit out there than VB6 that I have used. It was amazing.

To select an UUID, double click the first segment and drag the selection till the last segment before releasing. No need to aim for the exact beginning and end characters.

Most rooftop solar can't produce power without the grid. They use cheap inverters that synchronize frequency from the grid. They also don't produce enough current to handle the peak loads from large appliances starting. The battery provides the current peaks. It is possible to buy more expensive off-grid inverters.
The problem is that it means you have a plane entering the airspace at some point in the near future and the system doesn't know it is going to be there. The whole point of this is to make sure no two planes are attempting to occupy the same space at the same time. If you don't know where one of the planes will be you can't plan all of the rest to avoid it.

The thing that blows my mind is that this was apparently the first time this situation had happened after 15 million records processed. I would have expected it to trigger much more often. It makes me wonder if there wasn't someone who was fixing these as they came up in the 4 hour window, and he just happened to be off that day.
That's how I feel about UUIDs themselves, and the people who advocate in favour of them. Interesting duality.
Same reason you can write a proof of concept in a weekend, but the production version can take years.

The web's best example is twitter. Anyone can write a twitter clone in a weekend. A reasonably competent programmer can create a multiuser twitter clone in under an hour.

But you can't write twitter in an hour.

It's amazing how much you can write when your requirements are much smaller.

Also if you write your Unix for exactly one hardware, then you don't need two serial port drivers. And therefore you don't even need a serial port driver abstraction API.
No migration of this magnitude is blocked because of engineers not "bothering" to start the process. Imagine how many approvals you'd need, plus getting budget from who-knows how many government departments. Someone is paying for your time as an engineer and they decide what you work on. I'm glad we live in a world where engineers can't just decide to rewrite a life or death system because it's written in an old(er) programming language. (Not that there is any evidence that this specific system is written in anything older than C++ or maybe Ada.)
I had a similar experience; went to an African country for a while, eSIM stops working, support has no idea and suggested downloading it again, which requires 2FA with the number tied to the eSIM, was told to come to one of their stores (which are not in Africa) etc etc.

Sticking to physical for another couple off years until the bugs are worked out.

Yeah exactly, VB dying is sort of the CONVERSE of programmers adopting platforms, not languages - https://old.reddit.com/r/ProgrammingLanguages/comments/sk6w1...

- Why is JS popular? Not because it's the best language, but because it's attached to the browser, and people want to deploy apps to browsers (Figma, etc.)

- Why is shell the 8th most popular language on Github, and the 6th fastest growing? [1] Not because it's the best language, but because it's attached to the Unix kernel (specifically Linux, which has a ton of features). Software in containers and virtual machines must talk to kernels.

So then the converse is

- Why is VB no longer popular? Not because it's a worse language than it used to be (though maybe that's true), but the platform that it supported isn't as popular.

Like others said, it's probably popular for Excel and app automation, etc. But today more apps are targeting web and mobile, not Windows desktop.

- Same answer with Objective C and Swift -- people are using them to write apps for a platform. And Kotlin/Android, etc.

Maybe the double-click logic needs to be less stupid then. Or have it progressive, e.g. double-click = alphanumeric, triple-click = stop at symbols, quadruple-click = stop at slashes only, quintiple-click = the whole URL.

VB was great if you needed to do something limited to a single machine.

Show HN: KraspAI Kompass – keep up with new LLMs
Hello HN! I want share KraspAI Kompass, an LLM comparison tool I have been building.

Things around LLMs are moving fast, and new models are constantly coming out. It's easy to get disoriented and I personally have had a hard time keeping up. Because I wanted to quickly understand the capabilities of any new model, I built Kompass: a tool that lets you create your own test suite (or suites!) of prompts to evaluate new models with. It allows you to examine and compare performance across models and to figure out which of them are any good for your desired task.

For instance, Kompass makes it easy to compare

- open-source vs. closed-source (e.g. https://app.krasp.ai/c/b/helpme-software-deve?models=openai-...)

- or US vs. rest of the world (e.g. https://app.krasp.ai/c/b/helpme-office-worker?models=openai-...)

Keen for any feedback! Are there features missing? Models you would like to be added? What use-cases you would interested in? I'd love to hear from you.

Thanks a lot for taking the time, I appreciate your help and support!
