My solution to this would be to enable the Assistive Touch button and set its double tap action to 'shake'. If you don't want the button all the time, create a personal automation shortcut which runs when a specific app opens and closes, setting Assistive Touch on and off as you wish.

Alternatively have Voice Control enabled and say "undo that".

Thanks for the feedback, thats great to hear.

I was referencing the battery production and lifetime. As well as the reasonable to expect overall lifetime and repair ability. How many decades do you expect to use it?

Given what goes into these batteries and the inability to recycle the components, sustainable is quite questionable. This is a stop gap that only solves a very specific metric, fossil fuels.

There is also an economic incentive to sell more stuff to a limited numbers of customers. Thats visible with most products, its just market forces so i dont expect EV to magically withstand that. We likely need actually more sustainable (as in designed for) but that goes counter to market forces.

edit: To give examples for the general trend, i have two saws from the same maker, the newer one with a difficult to replicate plastic clip holding the sawblade. Defect controller board for mid-bikes would officially mean replacing the motor. Printers and phones dont need to be mentioned. Given fiduciary responsibility to their shareholders you cant expect much else. New models are designed and need to be sold. Thats problematic given the materials used.
You can build lots of housing in remote locations, sure, but people have to want to live there. Even existing cities can have massive surplus of housing if people don't want to live there anymore (see Detroit for an example). Most people want to live in existing cities, and particularly the biggest cities (hence them being the biggest). Tokyo is huge because people want to be there; there are cheap houses available outside of Tokyo but people don't want to be there as much. Most of the time, each state or country has a single large city that grows much faster than all the other cities, because people want to be there and not somewhere else.

The main "successful" new cities these days are when governments create one for their headquarters (or move their headquarters to an existing smaller city), like Sejong in South Korea. This is because it induces demand quite successfully for government employees to move there. You need a strong inducing of demand to create a new city; existing cities already have strong demand via jobs, other people, and services, so new cities need to outcompete them.
Sure, but basically everything having to do with file paths on Windows, the topic here, relates to the file system.
So consumers are forced to use a bundler/ts just because some random dependency decided they're too lazy to deal with a bundler?

> citizenry has to deal with on a daily basis

Sounds like a hyperbolic statement. Most citizens may be more likely to say that they do not have to deal with people who commit crime and lie to them on a daily basis unless you are in a very rough neighbourhood with very little law enforcement.

People who are policing do have to deal with this daily, however there is a change that the police could potentially form some kind of a sampling bias on new encounters with average looking citizens after dealing with so many lying criminals on a daily basis.

All those folks entering at the US Southern Border are making asylum claims, and asylees are granted work permits, including while their cases are pending, allowing them to work for most any industry (with some restrictions).

That's a delightfully "extra" word lol. I can't ever see myself using it unironically or outside of some goofy language game or something.

Concentration and diversification are fundamentally opposed in risk management.

It’s ludicrous to suggest that somehow YC is “immune” to the risks that are associated with concentration of investment in one area.

I don’t buy the “we pick founders not technology” argument.

Rubbish. It’s a hype bubble. You’re seeing that as emergent behaviour because it gets funding; there’s no amount of hand waving that makes any of the risks in the parent comment either a) wrong, or b) YC somehow magically exempt from.

Are you seriously suggesting that YC just doesn’t do risk management or cross-startup risk analysis?

I simply cannot believe that.
They know people will make horrible decisions and sue.
Yeah that’s true
> Which is unfortunate, as those who would be most accurately described by that label, if it was taken literally and not used as a slur, actually have a sensible and thoughtful middle ground between the two extremes who are currently battling it out in the political arena.

Perhaps not as many people self-identify as "TERFs" now that the term is widely viewed negatively, but as of a few years ago there were several subreddits on reddit where people identified themselves as TERFs (I'm not sure whether these subreddits still exist).

However, the prevailing view on these subreddits was that all men are inherently poisoned by testosterone and dangerous.

For this reason, I'm not sure it's actually a "thoughtful middle ground" as much as you might think.
What are the downsides? You're speaking nebulously about negative effects on 98% of the population without mentioning them.

Several screening programs like breast have been rigorously evaluated from costs, benefits and harms. I know very well what the negative effects are, do you? You haven't mentioned anything specific or provided estimates of harms yet you're the one making the assertion.

> You're wrong.

So if we're all wrong, what's the argument and where's the evidence without resorting to no OS benefit ignoring that this is again not the point of screening.

> It's borderline fraud, in my humble opinion

Your humble opinion disagrees with the entire medical community, including the study you initially cited. So we're all fraudulently screening for what purpose? You know that physicians don't collect billings or work fee for service in academic medicine correct?

> Which is exactly what you did in your first reply to me:

Did I say that was the only reason to screen and ignore the harms? I used that as an example of why overall survival is not useful as an isolated statistic.

You're the one who wanted to limit the discussion to one measure, I was pointing out the flaws.
They said during the broadcast that it deployed at 20kft instead of the planned 5kft.

But GGP is correct, it really did look for a little while there like it maybe hadn't deployed on time.

Surely there's post car life for the lithium, either as inputs for new batteries or repurposed as-is? I believe I have read that the power demands for driving are radically different to power supply stability, frequency, inductive load handling and so ex-car batteries do have use, even when they are way off peak storage capacity. Even 50% can be useful!

There are gigawatts, and gigawatt-hours of power potential in this stuff. At the cost of labour, identifying and routing around/removing/replacing dead cells is not infeasible.

I suspect many of these are stripped, and are just waiting for the right market conditions to do the end-of-life recycling. The volume speaks to weak bounds on a surge economy/consumer cycle mismatch.

There are equivalent mountains somewhere for TVs, fridges, washing machines, Buses, normal Cars. We're just used to assuming they get dealt with and haven't seen what happens when a central purchase of 10,000 units of something all age out in broadly the same time.

That said, both this and the bicycle/scooter mountains are awesome statements of inefficient economics, and exploitative investment.
Sorry for not clarifying further, but yes, that would be a major limitation if you have many account logins. The person who would use this would be someone in a very particular niche like me, who has very very account logins, and is willing to generate a new master password when necessary, and only uses this for sensitive applications. The ease of use, and the knowing that if I only have one password, I can access any account saves me time and gives me needed security.

I just upgraded to a 15 Pro but have my past 3 iPhones in reaching distance: 12 Mini, XS, SE. The 12 Mini is/was great for portability. But the small screen bugged me enough over time (cramped typing/reading) to move forward with an upgrade. Also, my increasingly bad eyes prefer some extra real estate!
This gives me a lot of mixed feelings.
What I've settled on is "store most job state in the DB, use task queues just to poke workers into working on the jobs".

Storing the job state in the DB means you can query state nicely. It's not going to exactly show the state of things but it's helpful for working through a live incident (especially when most job queues just delete records as work is processed).

And if you make all the background tasks idempotent anyways then you're almost always safe with running a thing like "send a job to the task queue to handle this job".

If you rely _just_ on message queues, there are a lot of times where you can have performance issues, yet have a lot of trouble knowing what's going on (for example, rabbitMQ might tell you the size of your queues, but offer little-to-no inspection of the data inside them).
I know people mean different things when they say this but Elixir is strongly typed in that it doesn't auto-cast. Furthermore, it goes farther than most languages in that it doesn't overload many operators. For example, string concatenation is done with `<>`, not `+`. This rules out many of those "subtle bugs" you would get in many other dynamic langues. For instance: `def compound_word(left, right), do: left <> right`. Even though there are no types specified (or even patterns of guards) this function can only every succeed with strings. Yes, it's still dynamic and will only be caught at runtime, but there are things about Elixir that make it a really nice dynamic language.
These maximalist individual freedom ideological positions always astound me. Like people haven't thought one step past "you should be able to trade with anyone, anything, and put it into your body." Should you be able to buy an instant feel-good suicide pill at the corner store? That way anyone who is having a temporary tough time has a one-way door to ending their entire life that future them would've been glad they hadn't ended?

We already see what a catastrophic mess there is when people can buy instant feel-good fentanyl pills that wreck the rest of their entire life.
The video in question for reference: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S2xHZPH5Sng

Interestingly, when I saw that I figured this channel for a goner because he was going to turn to the darkside, but quite contrary to expectations I feel like his channel has actually blossomed since then. His older videos are fine, but often just explaining concepts that you can find a lot of other explanations on, but some of his recent videos have rocked the boat even among physicists and IMHO he was ultimately proved to be correct for them. I particularly point at his videos about how nobody has measured the one-way speed of light ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pTn6Ewhb27k ), which was well-known among people very very deep in the field of relativity but not very well known outside of that (even amongst physicists in other fields, let alone lay people) and the electricity videos he's done in the last year (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bHIhgxav9LY , https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oI_X2cMHNe0 ) which attracted a whole whackload of "debunking" videos, which were themselves wrong (the best "bunking" video, if I may call it that, is probably AlphaPheonix's: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Vrhk5OjBP8 , since he actually set up the experiment, albeit on a smaller scale).

They aren't all of that caliber, but the knot theory video was very good too and not something I've seen a hundred times elsewhere, and the airships video that preceded that one clearly had a high degree of research put into it beyond just the hype.

You know, the more I think about it, the more I start to feel like the entire “solves a pain”, is yet another myth.

I don’t think there are problems left to solve. And the ones that are left, are not solved by people who promote themselves in twitter.

I spoke with a friend today, he told me he used to be subscribed to ProductHunt daily newsletter. He unsubscribe recently, because he found out that it’s all the same. It’s yet another todo app, project management app, or whatever.

So yeah, in an essence, marketing is shouting to the void until you fall on someone who needs a todo list RIGHT NOW. And you just happened to me there at the right time and the right place.

For a specific example of the abuses that many prison plantations in the South were founded on (since the article implies but doesn't actually mention any details), it was extremely common post-slavery in the US for Black men to be arrested en masse for 'vagrancy' or other nonsense charges just before harvesting season and sentenced to hard labor for just long enough to finish the harvest, then get dumped on the street again.

My company has a similar policy and it’s worked pretty well, but has some downsides.

A big one is that being a smaller, super ambitious startup means that we are shipping at an incredible rate (yay). However, the fidelity of our planning has declined quite a bit because we’ve taken the time previously allotted to meetings and increased our overall throughput with it. Because of this, there’s more deviation from what was planned and designed to what was shipped and there’s less alignment across teams, so it’s harder to coordinate feature development. Overall, we’re shipping stuff that tends to churn faster, but the hope is that it’s just temporary.

The libertarian argument is that libertarian policies will result in better outcomes, not "bear attacks are good, actually".

Maybe there are some who are like, "I don't care if bear attacks are way up, the point is that I can choose to be eaten by bears if I want", but for the most part they believe both that more 'liberty' is morally correct and also that it improves society in general.
I have been interested in planning a bank heist (but obviously not following through). It's sort of the same motivation for lockpicking, LARPing, or even homesteading- an exploration of the criminal world, the fantasy of being a Ocean's 11/Clooney type, the (admittedly, likely false) comfort of being able to make a difference if fascists/Russia/China invaded and took over. I have never given this much thought, as I've assumed this counts as conspiracy to commit a crime or similar.

So, counter to your (ironic?) point, I think the existence of this article will make me more likely to explore this avenue- I have a reference for what I would need to do to avoid crossing the line. And counter to what I suspect may be your actual point, I think it is totally reasonable to want to do things like this.
This has its place. I would gladly use Postgres queues in places where I use redis queues today; but I would not consider replacing my SQS queues with Postgres.
This is simply wrong. Information that did not exist in the model can be added to a model by finetuning, both full and PEFT. It has been repeatedly demonstrated in practice and in multiple papers.
One thing I love about Kafka is... It's just an append-only log, and a client is essentially just holding an offset. This is conceptually very simple to reason about. It's also persistent and pretty fault-tolerant (you can just go back and read any offset).

Unfortunately, Kafka carries with it enough complexity (due to the distributed nature) that it ends up not being worth it for most use-cases.

Personally I'd love something similar that's easier to operate. You'd probably be able to handle hundreds (if not thousands) of events per second on a single node, and without distributed complexity it'd be really nice.

And yes, in theory you could still use postgres for this (and just never delete rows). And maybe that's the answer.

a phrase used to evade being suspended from advertiser-friendly media platforms by "changing" the intent of your statement from a potential threat to an expression of emotion (express anger at them in a game)

also as equally useless of a defense as 'just LARPing' if any of your other behavior shows different intentions and inconsistency with the group that would use these phrases, i.e. you don't play videogames

it's always felt off that someone genuinely believes that changing their phrasing would fool other people of their intent, like something that an actual child would come up as a legal defense

On a more serious note, marketing is an umbrella term. There is clever marketing out there. It’s, however, rare. Most of the marketing is trash in a form of click baiting and being a morale-less clown. And the saddest part, is that it works. That’s why algorithms reward it.

Considering that you have a native "offset" (auto incrementing id) and the ability to partition by date I would say postgres is a great candidate for a simple Kafka replacement. It will also be significantly simpler to set up consumers if you don't really need to whole consumer group, partition etc. functionality.
