Interesting to note that scientific paper "trivialization" is about replacing jargon words by their meaning; i.e. by opening abstractions, making the text larger and larger, note that every scientifical concept or abstraction needs other abstractions to be explained that needs themselves trivialization because an abstraction is an elliptical and compressed way of saying something else (every abstraction is a tree of abstractions).

With this operation you are losing the possibility to even read some paper for obvious length reasons. What you lose in complexity is gained in thickness.

The problem is that low/no code doesn't consist in the same thing; abstractions it propose are meant to build a bridge between our current language and programming languages, just as UI is a bridge between our behavior and the execution of some script/function. In fact in this case, we are proposing to trivialize software development, not by reaching the initial machine code it expresses (explaining abstractions) but by inventing on top of theses abstractions another type of abstraction that is understandable to the non tech person reading the code (high level languages vs assembly is performing a similar operation).
The difference with the science paper case is that here, complexity of abstractions leads to a better understanding of the text.

Problem is that with low/no code, you are lacking the ability to cross the bridge back (because you fail to analyze abstractions into their atoms) while scientific folks can.

C is powerful because it allows you to stay in the position of someone that understand computers and assembly. Higher level languages (interpreted ones) are dealing with the problem that low code hopes to solve in a better way : you don't need to understand the C implementation of X language to use it, and still you have a lot a power and freedom to develop software, eliminating the overheads of dealing with memory and etc...

I fail to see low code

as something else than a subset of X interpreted language that allows you to write in pure english (but the complexity of software doesn't lie in its expression, rather in its conceptualization),
OR
as something else than a GUI that allows you to write software (or UI) by dragging and dropping stuff at the screen, which is the worst I can imagine because again you would have the same problem of learning to technify yourself and reading documentation to understand what is in fact a weird suboptimal programming language.
Our local theater - which held the West-coast premier of Gone with the Wind - renovated their organ and showed The General with live accompaniment as the first event. Was fantastic.
Giving a kid a smartphone today is akin to child abuse.
I wouldn’t expect better of Google. An app like Google Photos on iOS should (in my opinion) be banned because it requires access to all locally saved photos, breaking if either no access or selective/additive photo access is used.

The closest thing I can think of to what you’re describing is the van life movement and sleeping overnight various places without permission.

Speaking of this, maybe someday the line between volatile "memory" and non-volatile "storage" (currently HDD and flash) will cease to exist. Then we no longer have to ask if a file is loaded into memory or it's at rest in storage.
This is certainly possible, especially because they could have done it before iMessage too, and thus been able to gain mainstream traction even in the US. In 2008 when the App Store launched, SMS 'plans' were still an annoyingly expensive add-on here, and iMessage didn't exist. That was the window where anybody who really had a vision to do so could have become the WhatsApp AND the iMessage of today, all in one.

However, I'm really not sure how lucrative it would have really been to just control the messaging market. I'm assuming people wouldn't take kindly to a huge amount of ads to monetize it. Perhaps there could have been value in offering businesses a business-tier of account on the BBM network, kind of like Apple's Business Chat. On the other hand, I rarely see that feature actually being used today.
> Android's answer is "copy, but if we have to choose between quality/sw-support/security and low-price, the default choice is the second".

Looking at their global market share you’d struggle to say they made the wrong choice. They’re responding to market demand for a device that’s cheaper than an iPhone.
Out of curiosity, at that point why not a bicycle?

At the point where you’re happy traveling at or below 15mph for 1.5mi total a day (so two trips of 3/4mi), the effort involved is nearly nothing.

Just for handy reference, 10mph is a mile every six minutes. So we’re talking about bike trips on the order of about five minutes at a very low intensity.

As a short term solution this could be a pretty good setup. If you just need a cheap place to stay for a week or two, this would be pretty nice. Decent alternative to a hotel as long as it's clean and well maintained.
I'd wager longer lifespans (a consequence of improved material conditions) have made a big difference. Back in the day, you had a decent chance of dying fairly young anyway, so there wasn't as much disincentive to do stuff that might get you killed (such as crimes, revolutions, and other violent acts). Nowadays, in a developed nation, the cost of dying young is incredibly high as measured by years of life lost.
I'd say it's perfectly acceptable given how it'd mostly be used for the sub 5 miles range.

If you're going further, there's definitely better options, or bus/train.

>what's behind the surge in infighting criminal groups?

I'm not privy to the specific situation in Sweden, but...

Generally, when there's disagreement among people in stable societies, the courts are used to adjudicate such disagreements.

However, when the parties to a disagreement are engaged in illegal activities, they don't have access to the courts to adjudicate them.

As such, violence is often used to "adjudicate" such disagreements among those engaged in illegal activities (e.g., "criminal gangs").

Everybody who speaks HTTPS speaks TLS and the existing DNS-over-TCP. DoT is just DNS-over-TCP tunneled inside TLS. And it can be on any port, not necessarily 853, could be even on 443. What is the point of wrapping it into http request?

That’s needlessly reductive. It’s also wrong. While Android absolutely started that way it’s definitely doing its own thing now.

The problem is that Apple has never really cared about being first with something. That’s a plus, and they’d love to be so, but it’s more important for them to get it right (as they see it).

Android—and its major handset makers too—has a tendency to throw features at users and hope something sticks. It isn’t thoughtful in any way, or targeted, and leads to lots of firsts… that are not very well implemented.

Apple tends to move with a more thoughtful “what is this & why does it exist? What is the user trying to achieve with it?” approach.

This is slower, and they occasionally get it wrong, but it does tend to lead to a higher quality product.

Now that isn’t to say it’s “an answer to the iPhone” because RIM wad the only competitor that actually had the software platform AND hardware integration already set up. Samsung never quite got there with Symbian & no-one else had a competitive OS with any hardware chops.

Android isn’t aiming to being the iPhone, it’s aiming to be a substitute for iOS on platforms that aren’t Apple. Very different goals.
We would soon breed 50% more people. Building more houses reduces housing costs like building more highways reduces traffic.

Budhhism can be mainly catgeorized as follow

- Theravada Buddhism

- Mahayana Buddhism

Those are original but in myanmar.

- Real Buddhist Who actually practices meditation and dharma

- Buddhist because of Ancestors

- MaBaTha Nationaist Buddhist - All about nationalistom actually which is brain washed and organized by junta.

- Nat Koe Buddhist , who is not after dharma , but follows rites , traditional spirit worshipping

Those latter 2 sact are the ones recurited into MaBaTha

I might be the most naive person on Earth for thinking this, but I can’t imagine any circumstance where this was anything but neglect on FB’s part. Or maybe neglect isn’t the right word. Maybe FB, like so many tech companies, optimized for the wrong metrics. So it’s more proactive than neglect? If your audience is a vampire and you want to get engagement you show a lot of bulging veins. I don’t mean to suggest that the broader Buddhist population (ie most of Myanmar) is bloodthirsty, but if a tiny (tiny!) slice of it had hate on the mind it’s not hard to understand the argument that FB amplified the bloodlust (wow, look at the spike in engagement on the internal dashboard!). Chart goes up and to the right and some PM gets paid. And it’s super bad when it’s the ruling government (the Junta in this case) that’s the vampire, as a sibling comment contends. All so brutal.
Can you point at a git commit where someone had a similar bug implemented by accident and fixed it? The code you posted earlier seems to be something that would be incredibly hard to write without malice. And if you're considering malice, you also need to consider mmap, foreign function interfaces, writes to /dev/memory, and other similar perverse mechamisms.
That’s why we have elections. Being youthful doesn’t imply any of those things either and guarantees limited experience. I’m not arguing that young people shouldn’t be in office. I’m just not sure an arbitrary age limit is appropriate either.

Radars do consume a lot of energy at the beginning of a game, but even just one placed early and running continuously will find the ore needed to produce exponentially more power.

After that, I no longer think about radar power consumption. I just place them willy-nilly wherever they'll be useful. They're even spaced throughout my factory's interior just so I can see it working on the map from anywhere.

This elevates the game in a whole new way!!! Haha have to make this comment as I am just in continuous awe by Factorio and its developers.
$700/mo could be a good deal. But buying a house before the market blew up in 2020 was the real move. 3k sqft for $2.7k/mo and sub 3% - near a desirable tech hub - is a long-term wealth machine.

So, at ~$23 a day, basically the same price as a capsule hotel in Tokyo with pretty much the same features? Not a bad deal given the differences in average rent between Tokyo and SF.

If I'm reading this right, blocking this would result in a denial of service rather than a security downgrade. And Cloudflare is so large that blocking all of its hosted sites would effectively look like a partial internet outage. That might not bother state actors, but any ISP in a free country that willingly did this would be so overwhelmed by customer service requests that it wouldn't be worth it.

Any legitimate network operator who wants to avoid this for securiity reasons (i.e. for corporate managed devices) can just disable it by policy, assuming they aren't already using a decrypting TLS proxy.

Plus, there's an easier loophole than blocking ECH - block encrypted DNS. AFAIK most DNS over HTTPS/TLS implementations fall back to plaintext DNS if they can't make an encrypted connection. ECH's reliance on DNS privacy is its weak point; one that can't really be avoided right now.

It's not about good and bad choices. It's that the he world's best answer to the iPhone is... the iPhone, but worse quality and cheaper. Which is a tautology at best, not a response.
It is more effective to fund death angels like Mexican cartels and Clintons. In many countries in Asia, a lot of rich people take these route. You can also routinely find prosecutors and some other businessmen killed in region coubtries in ASEAN. Most countries especially the richer one in ASEAN have government orders to media not to report these kind of news. Even if needs to, they will put in inner less critical media page and as non desceiptive as possible. The going rate is aroun 5000 usd...and that is market rate for amateur level death angels. It is incredibily effective sometime even CIA are scared to retaliate (remember many law enforcers have family members and near impossible to protect them). Philipines previous president actually use this method to tame the crooks there. In Asia, there is a saying where bigger dog eat smaller dog. And that is why China governance employ this. Look up their Jin dynasty and Ming dynasty assassinations histories. GoT is a pale fictional rewrite of those real history. Even Saudi's Khosoggi incident is too amaterish. The closest best implementation was probably Putin's. The west make such a big deal of it. If you got the time read up how entire family or just the childrens getting "sent off" by death angels years later. Heck even Goujin king in ancient China demonstrated how to do revenge in the most gentleman way. Moral of the story, if you are rich always groom your own death angels. Prosecutors may be fearless but they do care of their children and grandchildren untimely deaths decades later.

Coming back to the thread half a day later now, I suddenly found that I upvoted the page "Draggable objects" despite never having previously visited or hearing of the page.

I read the new page anyway and liked it. But it contradicts the original my intent of the upvote and essentially gaslights me into a fictitious past.
I operated N4BB.com, which was one of the largest BlackBerry fan sites. We had many insider contacts and broke many large, exclusive stories. Fun times. Miss them.

Unfortunately, the way Mike Lazaridis was depicted in the recent Docudrama about BlackBerry it wasn't too far from the truth. They really believed Apple was lying about an all-touch, physical keyboard-less phone. Following the media buzz about the iPhone, Verizon put a lot of pressure on RIM to release a competitive device. The half-baked Storm 9500 was so rushed it released with a non-touch optimized OS that was hardly responsive to the piezo screen. Not to mention the bezel had such a gap around it that pocket lint often got stuffed in and under the screen, preventing the physical click. Sad.

Compounded by other failed strategic decisions/devices such as the PlayBook tablet and refusal to pay triple A developers to port their apps to BB10, it was a nail in the coffin by their own doing. There was such a hierarchical structure that completely stifled innovation.

A bitter-sweet story indeed.
This language learning methods where created for world war times so introduced soldiers could learn fast enemy or foreign language just to get to certain target and do their action, steal, bomb, etc without being recognised (not for coming back)

Spoiler: it did not work, that is why I whole new methodology based upon modern pedagogy and linguistics was created.
War method had best selling points like speed (you know nobody has time this days, like we are missing something) thus it still exists in different shapes (such as mobile apps)
And also, sometimes at certain points drilling techniques should be used, but not only.
I still think SIMD helper libraries (like xsimd or highway) have some good use in numerical computation and graphics, since you have so many complex equations to optimize that it's basically unrealistic to write all of it in assembly. And it's much better in terms of readability, xsimd has lots of operator overloading built in so you can still get readable math equations in SIMD code. Even if you get up to 80% of the achievable performance of assembly it's still a much better improvement then plain scalar code or relying on auto-vectorization. (And if that isn't enough you can start optimizing in assembly for only the most frequently used functions)

> what's behind the surge in infighting criminal groups

Ahhh - this might be an "English as a second language thing".

Firstly:

* I personally have no specific knowledge,

* The Guardian article is worded to suggest that they have some knowledge but don't reveal a source

So, assuming good faith reporting

* there is only one group reported as having infighting.

* not several groups ( <- plural )

* there is no reason given for the infighting in the Foxtrot criminal gang.

They may have split into warring factions for many reasons (and not just one reason either)

* division of money,

* senior members fall out over affairs with wives,

* suspicion of dealing with blood enemies,

* ...

The police in Sweden very likely have a good idea of the causes, they also would keep any knowledge they have secret in order to protect their sources ( tapping "encrypted" comms, an informant, live bugs, etc )

A quick read through the plays of Shakespeare will cough up many motivations for partners falling out.
I don't understand your question. I mean that if you going to use the device in future you might need the battery. And a supply of replacement batteries may just stop. Especially I mean original replacement batteries. For example, the legendary BL-4C is available in my country only as non-original version having half of capacity or less.
(Also covered in the book) They also assumed, not entirely incorrectly, that they would have a bigger moat outside the Western market due to cost factors and so they spent a huge amount of time and money on their international expansion. Cheap Androids eventually ate them there.

Plus the patent lawsuit.. and general bloat, infighting and innovator’s dilemma stuff of course.
You would think so, but like many places, it's all "luck of the draw". For some it can be great, for others it's a life-long hellishly miserable death actively enforced by all those around you.
