If Apple just let people hang out on the last nicely-working version of iOS, where their camera still opens fast, then that’d be fine. But they don’t. They bully you into always being on the latest

Also, I remember a while back they did a specific optimised speed-up release of iOS with barely any new features and it _really_ worked. My iPhone 6S went from being basically garbage I was going to replace to like a brand new phone.

They can do it if they want to. It’s what’s needed now. My iPhone 12 Pro has started to feel super slow since I got iOS 17. I have a new battery. Even texting feels painfully slow. There’s no excuse for this. It’s either deliberate and bad, or lazy and bad. Either way it’s bad.

Coinbase does ask that. You can Google "coinbase source of funds" for confirmation. They even mention it in their user agreement[0].

You got lucky and/or maybe forgot that you supplied that information when you signed up. Sometimes it can just take the form of asking for occupation and income. It's possible that they didn't ask further proof if they determined that your transactions were not unusual given your declared occupation and income.

The boomers are retiring, and the US economy is strong. Here in EU boomers are also retiring, but many countries still have high youth unemployment, and there is no real worker shortage even if businesses like to complain about one.
Buying something like the Samsung A14 every 4 years would cost about the same and seems a lot more realistic than aspirational.

I think its great that phones are being supported for 7 years but in a way it is a marketing chip based on consumer's using unrealistic linear depreciation.

Some consumers can pass down, repurpose, or only need very basic things, but most consumers need much of the relative performance they first bought, break screens, can't handle embedded battery replacement logistics, etc, so most probably have replaced something like the iPhone SE before 4 years is up and are paying more than they would have expected.
I just realized there is a setting for this. Dang. I guess in case they might remove it it's still nice to have the userscript.
Ideally you also don't need to verify it more than once, though. Otherwise, it will be friction that detracts from the user experience.
In my experience most of the flagship phones are slippery enough that it's not a rare event to drop them if you don't use a case made out of a higher friction material.

Of course that's an incredibly dumb design, but unfortunately they are made like that.
Heh, before reaching your last paragraph, I was going to recommend Go as the remedy to your woes.

Or perhaps if you are actively drinking tea and possibly rinsing your nose with it, it will protect you from infection to a decent degree?

The study is showing a good deal of virus inactivation from the levels of tea that might be present in saliva 0 minutes after drinking tea. But not such an extreme degree of inactivation that it seems at all likely that residual levels of the active ingredients an hour later would be likely to help much.
I don't think they lack skills on Cyprus and in Denmark. Hungarians are also quite bright.

Sure, I don't expect that Finland's economy would just implode. Developed countries don't do that. But it's quite possible it will enter multiple years long economic malaise, even by post-2022 EU accounts. As other countries slowly eat its lunch by developing matching skills while having better logistical disposition to use them.
I mean, there has been significant advancement in abortion procedures since ancient times. Including a non-invasive pill option if you catch the pregnancy early enough. And yes, those pills are colloquially called the abortion pill.
Please, please don’t. The rspec syntax has been cargo culted along for far too long, and it provides nothing except cutesy, confusing syntax.

I say this as someone who has been writing Ruby professionally for something like fifteen years. I used rspec for maybe eight of them. I understand the rspec DSL syntax fully and have no problem writing tests in it. But it should not exist.

The only real, valuable thing it brought to the ecosystem was scopes/contexts. Other testing frameworks have that, and there is nothing left but an insane amount of inertia that keeps it going.

I have a Watercolorbot[1] which is like the world's most inexact plotter. But it's a lot of fun to watch it pick up paint on the brush and try to paint a gcode version of your design (also funny to see the patterns the slicer algo uses to try and fill blocks of color). Software was always a little fiddly, but still a fun idea.

It just seems odd in this context given they are willfully compiling these screenshots together, displaying them prominently, and saying they pay attention to details. What details are they trying to highlight here, if not the UI details?

In general the UI doesn't even look good. It's just a bunch of unflattering grey.

> But bands/venues don’t want to set ticket price at market price because it will make them look bad.

How exactly does the band or venue benefit from the scaled price increase? Are the scalpers given them some of their profits back? Otherwise, it seems they only get the price they set, and the scalpers get everything on top, besides Ticketmaster, who probably takes a fee twice...

> Scalpers take the reputation hit in exchange for setting tickets prices such that anyone who wants to pay market price can get one.

I've been priced out of concerts because scalpers took all the tickets and jacked the price out. What about people like me

Math doesn't work. Entry iphone 15 pro is $1,000. Say Tax is .08, so $1,080 out the door.

1 year from now if you sell it for 2/3 the price, you get back $720. A year's use cost you $360. About $1 a day. This is very worth it for some but not quite as cheap as $200 a year. This is without factoring in time to sell.

You could trade in but that means you are locked in contract with service provider.
It's a shame so many people have had bad experiences with static typing due to Typescript. In languages like Rust and Elm, static typing truly feels like a super power when I'm coding, particularly when modeling my applications possible states.

This talk does a great job at articulating how to use types to disallow invalid/illegal states.

I perceive a widespread, cynical belief that the primary purposes of higher education are things like signaling, credentials, and networking. Students who accept this belief are whom I refer to as tragically misled. It's not unthinkable that they're in the majority. On the other hand, I think a fructifying education is up for grabs at virtually any college.

I told my kids that a large state university is like a tiny elite academy, hidden in plain sight within a giant party school.

Don't get me wrong, I know many people had bad college experiences, and that higher education is ripe for reform.

*Product Manager for Startups*

Hi I'm Kate! I was a Senior PM and CSM at Amplitude (YC!) Series A - Post-IPO. I helped stand up the Customer Success, Technical Support, and Product Management functions at Amplitude so I now use those learnings to help new startups scale without making the same mistakes I experienced.

Chat with me to learn:
1. How to setup the product, support or customer success functions
2. How to think about prioritizing customer requests and when to hire first PM
3. How to scale customer success and customer support at a fast growing startup
4. What great looks like for product, support or customer success functions

> I don't have any pens for it fine enough for that to matter though

Yes, that is the issue. The finest pen you could likely get would be 0.1mm (and even that would be hard to find and expensive). That is what I based the 250 dpi on.
I have worked for a wide range of companies over a long period of time, some big, some small, some paying more, some paying less, sometimes working on things very sexy and cutting edge, sometimes working on things that many would think are boring but that I think are very worthwhile if you go at them seriously.

I think the MANGA plan is the least realistic of all, some of those companies will not survive until you retire (see the old AT&T, Kodak, Xerox, RCA, IBM back when it hired people in the US, ...) big co's like Intel seem to announce they are firing 10,000 engineers every other year, etc. The best plan is you will roll will the punches.

That's a bit harsh. If it was from a web dev company, sure. But this is from someone doing it as a hobby for the good of mankind.

Your response shows that you did no read the article. They specifically show cases where Amazon copied sizes:

> Among the victims of the strategy: a popular shirt brand in India, John Miller, which is owned by a company whose chief executive is Kishore Biyani, known as the country's "retail king." Amazon decided to "follow the measurements of" John Miller shirts down to the neck circumference and sleeve length, the document states.
Yes, in fact we recently made the free plan more powerful with non-preemptible VMs, premium networking, and package caching for everyone. And working on an AI free tier coming soon. Will likely invest more in the free plan once the abuse from unlimited hosting go away.

Also — the title is slightly misleading. Static hosting is still free, and autoscale (with scale to zero) will effectively cost next to nothing for most users. Especially new programmers get very little traffic that according to our historic data it will cost $0.2 / month.

Finally beginners who cannot afford to pay but learned enough coding can make money on the site. eg, a story earlier today: https://x.com/replit/status/1709577707435274414?s=46
I run my own resolver on my home network and I never notice anything. When loading a webpage or doing pretty much anything else online the DNS delay is negligible. And if the answer is already cached in my house it's definitely faster than having to leave my home network to get a response.

Pretty much 90%+ (for me and I have a shit tonne of experience) don't respond to any job posting. After a while it's quite hard not to get jaded about how the whole process is a compete waste of time.

I believe I see a lot of that in the comments here. People are frustrated, because even when there's a great skills match, that they don't get a rejected letter, or if they do it's a auto generated one. They are trying to short cut the process using AI or not posting at all.
But the expression of the brain as it grows is very dynamic, influenced by many factors outside the genetic, including itself, self-referentially.

You could pretty easily raise one twin as an imbecile and the other as competent, purely by the means of changing their sensory inputs during the phase of brain development. If you had no scruples, of course.

The value I see is in constructing more complex prompts. Agree with your example but could see myself using this feature for prompts with multiple objects/aspects that require specific details. Probably not much different from inlining all details, just a nice separation of concerns: you can describe the high level requirement first, and then add and tweak individual details.
>However, you have to include DMA of the data to and fro. It's unlikely to be worth the very extensive effort of integrating two wildly different technologies.

That is exactly the part where having the FPGA next to the CPU helps... You can transparently access the CPU cache via an AXI slave port on the CPU on AMD's MPSoCs at a rate of up to 16 bytes per cycle and you get multiple of those.
> sniff the events before they are encrypted through the network

Uhh, this is confusing as written. But there are cheating hacks which allow you to see extra data that is sent to your client in-game, such as the entire map and your's and your opponents production queues. And while I'm not sure if this is what you were asking: "sniffing" events from other clients which haven't been sent to the blizzard server is not possible, because they're delivered to your client via the blizzard server (it's not P2P).

> Also curious about the drone kill counter mod/overlay that Harstem uses, do you know of the name of that?

It's a combination of two things: 1) A customized UI layout for replays called "GameHeart" and 2) a custom SC2 game mod called "GameHeart" -- you can use the UI layout for ladder games which weren't created as custom games with the GameHeart mod, but for that replay you'll miss out on features like the drone kill counter and income graph vs. time for which the data is generated by the game mod.
The lack of additional alerts in the Remediation section is a little bit concerning. Adding an alert for serving stale root zone data is great, but I think a few more would be very useful too:

- There's a clear uptick in SERVFAIL responses at 7:00 UTC but they don't start their response until an hour later after receiving external reports. This uptick should have automatically triggered an alert. It can't have been within the normal range because they got customer reports about it.

- The resolver failed to load the root zone data on startup and resorted a fallback path. Even if this isn't an error for the resolver it should still be an alert for the static_zone service, because its only client is failing to consume its data.

- The static_zone service should also alert when some percentage of instances fail to parse the root zone data, to get ahead of potential problems before the existing data becomes stale.
Amazon has also optimized returns (for itself) by making its sellers eat the cost of those returns, one way or another. That's not all that controversial, but when you consider what Amazon recommends people buy, it becomes obvious that they have no problem recommending garbage because they don't care if it gets returned. They won't eat that cost. They get the profit from the sale, then let everyone else work it out.
> I take your point, but we should be careful when using phrased like “modeled the concept appropriately” here. That implies correctness.

All models are wrong, but some are useful.

Perhaps we should say "modeled the concept usefully".

> In some ways, my standard here is probably not that different than a rigorous human educational assessment. I’m not talking about standardized tests, I’m talking about adversarial challenges like one would hope to see during a Ph.D. defense.

Usefulness is very contextual obviously. Newton's laws aren't entirely correct but are still useful.
lmao, and then find that the whole class has a discord group for exchanging answers.
>And then most of those "type" errors would be errors that no reasonable type system would have a chance of catching - like keys missing from associative arrays.

what? in a language with ADTs and exhaustiveness checking, accessing a key from an associative array will give you back an Option type and the compiler will force you handle the code path where the key is missing.

unless I've misunderstood what you meant, this is a canonical showcase of what modern static type systems are good for.

and in your parent post:

>a list that must not be empty, etc. No, not even dependent types can guarantee these invariants.

what do you call haskell's NonEmpty then? https://hackage.haskell.org/package/semigroups-0.18/docs/src...

data NonEmpty a = a :| [a]

I think you're underestimating what static types can do. it's funny you mention "blub" in that post ...
I feel like this has already begun. Between telegram for Russian speakers (and everyone else I think it has more users than Twitter), WeChat, Facebook, etc. There are different places different internet denizens go that's regionally specific. Then there's targeted advertising. The stuff Instagram tells me to look at that's in Russian is very different from things in English. I think what the future will bring is only a narrowing of the sharing pipe. But it's unlikely that the pipe is as wide as we think it is simply because there's so much content that is essentially walled off from others because of language and culture.

David Brooks thinks Americans are getting meaner
> The article and comments here use the editorial "we" as if the biggest emissions offender China (double the USA in 2021 [1]), is going to bow to global peer pressure and start sacrificing industries and fortunes in order to cut their emissions by half or more.

China has 4 times the population of the US. They are only a bigger offender than the US if you believe that people who live in the US have some sort of natural or divine right to live a more emitting lifestyle that do people in China.

The atmosphere does not care about arbitrary political boundaries which makes per capita a better measure. By per capita emissions China is around the same as a typical European country, and half the US.

If we wanted to hold emissions to current levels, people in China are 56% above their fair share. People in the US are 220% above their fair share. (People in India are at only 40% of their fair share).

More important, China is building a ton of solar farms, wind farms, and nuclear plants, and a lot of pumped hydro storage (which when combined with solar or wind reduce or eliminate the need for fossil fuels to deal with the intermittent nature of wind and solar).

Compare to the US where every time the Presidency or control of Congress changes parties there is a 50/50 change that the new party in power will try to roll back any clean energy initiatives of the previous party and boost reliance on fossil fuels.

That means when China says they are going to be net zero by 2060 they have actually got a decent chance of achieving that, and if they don't it is more likely to be a "missed it by a few years" thing rather than a "abandoned it" thing.

The US currently has a 2050 goal for net zero but with the current political situation here it is likely to be 2030 at the earliest that we actually seriously start on the things we need to do to prepare for that.
Apple releases iOS 17 fix for iPhone 15 overheating issue
Yes. All the time. First you have to find a therapist that actually exists. Then you need to find one who returns a simple email or phone call. Then one who is willing to take you on as a client, and finally one who actually has the tools to help. And each step is hell for someone with any of several conditions that might have been why they were seeking a therapist in the first place. It's no wonder we have a crisis - if that's even the word for something that has been going on so long.
It’s not too little too late. It’s just too little.

The paper is showing about a 100x reduction in infectivity from exposure to saliva collected “0 minutes” after drinking tea. That’s a very small effect. Compare to, say, penicillin, which will kill viruses in the levels present in your blood and tissue hours after taking a small pill.

Or, for a different comparison, I don’t know of anyone testing a handgun against COVID (sorry, xkcd), but pool water and presumably chlorinated tap water reduces infectivity by at least 1000x in 30 seconds:

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8480993/

Maybe one could use these compounds in tea as a basis to try to develop a useful antiviral drug. But numbers like this don’t make it look like the pandemic could have been averted by telling everyone to drink four cups of tea a day or to continuously gargle chlorinated tap water.

(Seriously, I doubt there were evil authorities out there trying to get people not to drink lots of tea so they could drum or support for mask mandates or quantitative easing or whatever other measures seem horrible. This whole concept seems utterly absurd. And at least opening a window or using a MERV 13 or N95 or better seem like more justifiable public health measures than distributing free bottles of iced tea!)
