Redditors are a cancer on society. Terrible people.
The issue here is users complaining that the phones get too hot to handle, which immediately eliminated conductivity. A thermal conductivity problem would've looked like the phone overheating without the outside getting too hot to handle. (picture the circuit board inside a thermos)

Pretty fucked up seeing as it supplies the area with residential water as well as irrigation. Without it much of the surrounding will be barren. You can see the difference on satellite pictures of Crimea from when Ukraine closed the channel after Russian takeover.

Article mentions it as well.

>However, that decision is likely to be made. Tuboltsev tries to be realistic, noting that thousands of homes, businesses, and farms depended on the reservoir for their water supply, and there simply may not be other options.

edit: Thanks for the correction! Apparently barren isnt synonymous with infertile. I meant the later.
Thanks for the info. This feels a little better. I can still envision only a handful of "providers" becoming the defacto gatekeepers to a private web. I'm gonna have to give this some more thought though.
Review the EOL spans between apple and android though. Apple is still releasing security updates for the 5S, a 10 year old handset.

Android devices average 3-4 years before complete end of support. Maybe HN folks will go for alternate firmware, but I'm talking about manufacturer firmware for apples to apples comparison.

That $300 increases to $600+ vs holding on to a ~$500 apple handset when looking at a 5+ years timeframe.
There may actually have none right now. (jk)
I think it would be rude under different circumstances but this is information that he already shared semi-publicly and would've shared with OP had OP been able to make it.

This is what I've been wanting to do, but I've found the used iPhone prices to be frustratingly high.

Maybe I've been looking in the wrong places, but I can't even find a base iPhone 13 for less than ~$550. Does it really make sense to buy a 2 year old model for 30% less than the brand new version? Sure, there haven't been many meaningful improvements in the past two years, but its still two fewer years of software support.
Same. The Quora website feels actively user-hostile, I avoid it.
Never seen gloves, but I know devs who have bought portable space heaters and placed them either on their desk or below it.
I'll add that in some places sunny and hot days are sometimes better spent indoors with an aircon if possible.

Excessive heat, especially in humid regions can be daunting.
Obsolete, yes. But being obsolete is not equatable to a full shutdown. Cars go obsolete, but we would never allow car manufacturers to prevent a car from turning on just because it's obsolete. Just like we don't accept that with our phones, or our laptops, or any physical consumer electronic.

8 years ? For a display that's essentially a graphics terminal to a remote app? That customers are paying for ongoing service? For hardware that is still 100% working?

Honestly, what is really stopping it from being supported? Can they unlock it so a secondary market can load OSS onto it and keep it going for the next 10-15 years?

To put things in perspective:
They had 2k employees in 2020 and grew to ~6k now.

To me, growing your employee numbers like that seems to be orders of magnitude more costly and risky than licensing some games to give away for marketing.

Having to lay off some people after growing quickly by ~200% does not seem like that big of a failure to me...

PC Magazines in the 2000s also managed to do regular game giveaways just fine (while being much smaller than even 2020-Epic), and I would wager they had razorsharp margins and much less revenue, too.
> People look at that? I'm nowhere close to 10 years and people already don't care. It was only relevant for my first job out of college.

This was my experience as well. A lot of places that previously had a hard requirement for a degree will now say “4 year degree or equivalent experience in the field.”

For most jobs, the degree is not required but acts as a convenient filter for the company to narrow their candidate pool. They are starting to realize that it’s no longer a reliable indicator of job success.

In my experience, that requirement seems to have be added by HR whether the hiring manager wanted it or not. Most of the jobs I’ve held “required” a 4-year degree but they were either fine with the “some college” I actually had or explicitly told me they didn’t care.
Stadia was amazing, what made no sense is the business model. They should have operated like GeForce Now. You could have paid a subscription only to run the games in the cloud and buy the game on separate shops.
My main concern without term limits is when an elected official moves from being popular and effective at their job to being effective at getting reelected.

> I'm just sad that there's no young people to pass the torch for when the time comes and the founding fathers are no more.

I wish I can be one of those young people who can be a worthy successor to Richard Stallman. I already am to a great extent, preferring FLOSS whenever possible (with an unfortunate exemption for video games, especially many PC and all console games).

My primary issue is now trying to find like people who are also into FLOSS as much as I am, and they're not as common as tech illiterate people are. Maybe someone can advise me on how I can get started (online or local around the Houston, TX area).
Title misleads a bit mentioning Redditor, like this is some Reddit issue that's being fixed. "Annoying Safari UI issue fixed with ChatGPT"
People have been doing that for decades. People were treating ELIZA (from 1964) like a real human. Human treat their household appliances like other humans.
the main concern here would be the streaming service. If the streaming service offers a full API for custom implementations, then you're probably fine. If, instead, you're using their non-public API, you'll probably get a Cease And Desist and your API keys revoked.

Then, like the other response mentioned, there's the streaming aspect. You, probably won't get sued, but anyone that streams with that music will get muted on Twitch and Revenue Claimed on YT.

Why build a minecraft mod for this, when you can just play music on your computer and turn off the minecraft music? A few hotkeys and you don't even have to swap screens to change the music.
Good. Thread was not released in Europe, I doubt we are missing something huge, except for the huge data harvesting that comes with it.

Have you actually used the commercial version? It's relatively stable and QAed and you can get support from the Wine developers, but it lags the open source version by months. You're not getting the latest compatibility fixes or performance improvements with it.
I think the problem is that we're talking about "reddit" like it's one group of people who have the same characteristic responses to things across time. But the whole point of reddit is for there to be disparate communities who may or may not communicate with each other and may or may not share or hold diametrically opposing views on any topic that can be written in words.

When submitting to reddit, you elplicitely cannot submit just to "reddit", you have to choose a subreddit. These subreddit can be as varied in response as humans can, even when apparently sharing the same topic/goal. Subreddits turn toxic sometimes, sometimes they're made that way intentionally. Some are hard fought places of positive intent with strong moderation and some are 'wild west'. Sometimes places get toxic enough that someone else creates a similarly named subreddit with an identical goal but attempts to cultivate and moderate a positive environment. If you didn't know about this you'd see 2 identical subreddits, when you post you'll get 2 very different receptions.

"Reddit"s response is entirely dependent upon subreddit. We cannot argue about how "reddit" reacts, and it's impractical to talk about individual redditors, the communities within, the subreddits, are the unit about which we can have meaningful conversation. There's no point in arguing about whether reddit has hurt someone or not or whether their reception was beneficial or degrading the community without knowing _which_ Community. There are places that will hurt everyone, there are places that will reject every product, there are places that won't. They are different places
Not that complicated. Porsche was once described as "the hedge fund that happens to also build cars".

Porsche did this stake here and there thing precisely to gain > 50% of Rimac voting rights.

It's simple really: Porsche controls Rimac.

Then there's the whole "VW took control of Porsche after the short squeeze made by Porsche to try to acquire VW failed" (it failed due to the sudden crash during the 2008 banking crisis IIRC). And now Porsche is apparently spinning out of VW and shall be independent again.
Every time I drive through the Columbia gorge I think of what it once was and am sad that I can’t see the rapids that the Cascade Mountain range is named for.

If we “discovered” it today it would surely be some kind of national park or otherwise preserved. Instead it’s got multiple rail lines and highways running alongside a fairly smooth river.

Hard to imagine the deviation that would happen if a few of the Columbia dams failed, and the seasonal flooding would be another issue.

Yes, although it sounds like the Pi 5 will be a significant step up in this regard. To be honest for what I was doing, Pi 4 was easily good enough. It was just a bit more convenient to be able to get media assets etc on to the device directly, implement a simple UI, etc etc.

It's pretty common to credit someone from Reddit doing something.
The Redditor certainly used ChatGPT to help it suggest a starting point and help debug a script to help customize Safari more towards their preference. However, this took someone very well versed at constantly fixing it's errors, and ultimately took the user rewriting it by themself to get a working a version. But reinforces ChatGPTs strength in this area of being able to help someone well versed in an area already but needs help at certain points but also well versed enough to know when the provided output is inaccurate.

I can still run DOS 6.22 right now. Probably even older software.

In fact, just about most 'owned' software that does not depend on the cloud can be run for ever. Especially software that was sold as a perpetual license.
Don’t forget these systems are trained or aligned to respond to common niceties because they are meant for public consumption.

Continuing that analogy, in the case where a sky facing directional antenna is being used: the pilot is crouched under a sewer grate, shining a light at the soles of your feet, as you stare up into the night sky. If you are pumping enough power to overcome a directional antenna, than you are more in the realm of a directed energy weapon - which requires an insane amount of power (see inverse-square law).

1. Then tomorrow you could argue human rights are violated. Not today.

Upvoted. This is really really cool.
So what happens if you have 22% of a company that owns 55% of a joint venture? I don't _think _ you actually get to take a decision on 22% of the 55%, do you? The 22% company's board would probably get together, decide on a single vote for the 55% percentage and your ownership would not be useful in decision making?

Good point. I can relate.

I worked in Ruby on Rails and our particular culture of Rails was not the purity that DHH encourages, but a kind of hipster collection of things like Cucumber, where the intent diverges from reality. That is, we understood the design intent of the DSL barrier-lowering interdisciplinary facade to non-technical people writing tests.

However, that is not what happened in reality. What happened in reality is that only techs wrote Cucumber tests and they struggled mightily with abstractions that had good intent, but bad ROI, given their misapplication.

The constant cacophony of unforeseeable DSL interactions was that team's annoyingly persistent foot-gun postmortem.
I completely dropped the education bullet point on my resume and I’ve only been out of school for about 5 years. It’s frankly a waste of space when I’m already working so hard to keep my resume concise enough to fit on a single page and not downplay my career outcomes.

You use standard pressure (29.92 inHg) above transition altitude, which, in the United States, is 18,000 feet. Pilots wouldn't be changing the altimeter after climbing past this point, and would start using local values once descending through it again.

Of course, your initial point is still correct: there could be slight variations if using those local settings and getting different values, but you'd only see that below transition altitude.
Pretty sure he made a video about him doing those ads when he did them to answer that question, but you kind of answer it in your description anyway. His objection to VPN ads wasn't the fact it was a VPN, but the deceptive content in the ads. Promises they don't deliver, benefits you get from basic SSL anyway etc.

When a VPN was happy to work with him on an ad that wasn't deceptive or misleading he was happy to run it. I think the original video only existed in the first place because at that time he was willing to advertise a VPN for the money offered, but they couldn't agree on ad content he felt was fair. So his price never changed, the VPN company just gave into his 'advertise honestly' demand.
Someone should. I've noticed this phenomenon as well.
"Closing the last tab closes the browser" - yes and?
The thing is: Windows and Office is insecure by default. Admins react by sprinkling anti-virus on top of it, but that doesn't help any.

It still enables users to open random mail attachments in Office or similar. And Office doesn't have any sandboxing or other mitigation in place, again it's insecure by default. If you enable users to do stuff like this, you have noone to blame if you get owned.

Are the usual Linux distro's better? Hell no! They have the same flawed security architecture as Windows, only without any motivated attackers (yet).

But there are actually secure alternatives: QubesOS and ChromeOS.

QubesOS is probably not that suitable to end-users, they can do too much wrong to twart it's security (using the "financial" qube to browse p0rn... etc.).

ChromeOS is a reasonably secure OS: It's root filesystem is read-only with tamper-proof authentication, user's home directory is encrypted. Chrome runs with the usual privilege separation in multiple processes each in it's own tight sandbox. There is no way to autostart anything.

Even in the nuclear case of a 0-day RCE + chained sandbox breakout + privilege escalation to root, the threat can not persist itself... you just reboot the device and are save again.

And Google has lot's of experience in security, they one of the few who build their own browser, the most hostile environment. They are clearly thinking about security front and center and not as an afterthought (like Microsoft).

> I get that they're not the same device, but is it really 2.1x the device that the 13 is?

It looks like you're using an average lifetime of 9 years for the 2.1x factor. I rarely see phones past 6 though and that's approximately how long they receive updates for.

I've also never seen a used iPhone that cheap where I am. Here a new 15 max is $1450 and a used 13 max is $1000.

Using a 6 year life:

$1000 / (6-2) = $250

$1450 / 6 = $242

So if you use a phone to the 6 year point, you are paying less for a better device, and without any unknown damage or wear. Migrating less often to a new device is also a small time saver. Even if you go to 9 years, the new iPhone is only 1.13x more.
And yet, it's a very powerful language for automation and even if you never heard about AppleScript you still know exactly what it's going to do and might be able to write your own automation.
I understand the privacy motivations, but behavioral targeting is good for small businesses. This is focusing more power on a handful of mega corps that do brand advertising.

We release Windows CPU wheels (https://pypi.org/project/jaxlib/#files). So JAX on CPU works great on Windows.

We don't release Windows GPU wheels at the moment, but that's because we're a small team and none of us use Windows personally. We welcome contributions!

(I verified that the Windows CUDA GPU support built as recently as two weeks ago, but I don't have the ability to test that it works.)

We recommend WSL2 because that's just using our existing Linux CUDA release.
I have a BMW with only CarPlay (no Android Auto). Missus has an Android. So my phone was the GPS, even when she was driving.

Because BMW only has Wireless Carplay the phone heats up like crazy. I don't understand why... my phone needs to be plugged in anyway because of the battery drain of the GPS and constant calculations of the screen. Why not utilize that as a means to send the screen data, allowing the WiFi chip to be almost turned off.

And it gets worse if you use the charging pad in the car. Charging pad + Carplay is useless.

Now she has an iPhone too and now the driver's phone is the GPS. But still, when driving, I need to put mine plugged in, under the seat to ensure it remains within temperature specs.

And because of that I forget it every time, no problem, but when I get back to the car it is always overheated.

I haven’t touched module loader hooks for a while, but my impression is that the changes bring it more conceptually in line with require hooks. Loader authors will likely provide the register call for end users (to load with --import, roughly analogous to loading require hooks with --require?), so you won’t need to call anything in an extra step unless you’re authoring a loader yourself. In which case this provides for composition patterns which the earlier CLI-only entry (mostly) didn’t.
