I admit that in times I sometimes nitpicked the phraseology/terminology of names and wording of comments in MRs. I usually preface the comment with “nitpick:”.

In my team nitpicks can be ignored and by no means block an PR. Perhaps you could adopt that with your team. Also are you sure this person has the power to block your PR? I’d just merge it in anyway.
With a DVR you've had full control of the video stream on TV for over 20 years and as a result there are no unskippable commercials to put up with, if you don't want to. Streaming ads are worse, they have the tech to make them unskippable. Spotify (the last time I was on there) doesn't even credit you with an ad listen if you mute your speakers.
Vehicle manufacturers face liabilities that almost no other product maker does. There's the potential for almost infinite downside.

I use the headphone jack every day, both in my car which has an aux in but not Bluetooth, and for actual headphones. I'm not hypothesizing, I owned a phone with no headphone jack and hated it. I don't want a dongle for a thing I use every day.

> Plus there is no shortage of cheap USB C headphones.

But not everything I use headphones for takes USBC. My computer has a headphone port. My guitar amp has a headphone out.

> USB has replaced every other port already, usually to a positive reception.

USB is great when it eliminates proprietary cables. Not when it forces you to buy additional adapters to use everyday features.
If iPhones have replaceable batteries (the kind you can slot in and out) then you’d be right.

Replacing an iPhone battery at an Apple Store costs about 1/3 the price of the phone by the time you need it replaced, so ideally one would want the battery to last as long as the lifetime of the phone. One way to delay liion battery ageing is to shallow charge.

Case in point I’ve a 6 year old dell laptop that is set to shallow charge to 75% in BIOS and the battery still holds 3 hours of charge (from 75% to forced standby)to this day. Most laptop battery stop holding a charge 2 to 3 years in.
I've switched almost entirely to ebooks for fiction, but I will only buy books that fit the following criteria:

1. DRM-free

2. No more expensive than the cheapest suggested retail price

3. Available in a generic format (EPUB, preferably)

So far, I've had excellent luck with Baen books, and decent luck with Tor books and miserable luck with just about every other publisher. Still, jokes on them, I will just pirate if I can't find a version that fits my criteria.
Among inflammatory substances, alcohol is the elephant in the room. Cutting out alcohol is the lowest hanging fruit in this garden. Unfortunately, people convince themselves that it is perfectly healthy when consumed in small quantities every day. Anybody who monitors their health/fitness parameters with a smart watch will notice how damaging alcohol is.
My guess is they’ll keep expanding it to higher groups as they feel out pushback.

In theory yes but in reality one passenger fumbling around looking for a spot for their carryon bags can easily add 2 minutes to the boarding process. And the very early and very late flights are probably not full so there won't be much savings there.

Each economy passenger should get one carryon that must be able to fit under the seat. If you want legroom, you can put it in the overhead bin. Nobody needs more than that for personal items that may be needed during the flight. Extra carryons could possibly be allowed for a fee, if it's high enough that we don't end up back with the problem we currently have.
> I really don't understand the outrage from RH cracking down on clones.

I think it's very straightforward. A core tenet of the free software moment is that someone who uses a program (a Red Hat subscriber) should be able to share the source code of that program with their friends (Rocky Linux maintainers) for any purpose (updating Rocky Linux,) but Red Hat are threatening to terminate your subscription if you do that. Regardless of whether that's legal, it's definitely against the spirit of the GPL.

RHEL wouldn't exist as a commercial product if not for 10,000s of unpaid volunteers who contributed to GPL-licensed projects with the understanding that no one would be allowed to do what Red Hat is doing with a product derived from their contributions. Some have argued that Red Hat is owed an exception because of how much they've contributed back to the software they use, but I don't think it's right to say that on behalf of every unpaid contributor. There are definitely some who disagree with what Red Hat is doing.
No way this was known before. There may be certain correlations but you have to realize this research effort is different. In controlled experiments if you as the experimenter can "cause" something to happen then you've skipped past the correlation != causation mantra that every Tom, Dick and Jane keeps chanting without fully understanding. At this point you've found causation.

Causal evidence of Alzheimer's? I don't think that's ever been known. The worst case scenario after finding this is that they find out that there's multiple causative sources of Alzheimer's.

It slows down and times its charging to reach the 100% right before you get up in the morning, rather than immediately after you plug it in (which would make it 100% all night long).
I'm pretty sure 88% health means like 80% original capacity since iPhones actually shut off at 20% real capacity to protect the cell.

A lot of people used to rave about the look and design of Tesla vehicles.

I have about 800k lifetime miles and see this on every flight. A lot of people do put their bags right next to them. A lot of people also drop it off on the first space that is available to them.

When I had status I used to sit in first class a lot. Some people try to dump their bags there, but get yelled at 100% of the time. People really love opening the bins for the people in the first row (no under-seat storage because there's a bulkhead; bins closed to make them less attractive to the dive bombers), but also usually get yelled at for that.

I have even seen this happen way in the back. I was sitting in row 21 or something and someone sitting in the last row put their bag right next to mine. Chuck it in there, walk to the back. Hope they put a passcode on their iPad!

I used to fly JFK-SFO and JFK-LAX a lot. Not sure I saw it as much on those routes.
One difference is who gets forced to check bags so that the dozen companies that process the luggage steal, damage or lose your bags.

Notes on the Dora 2023 State of DevOps Report
I recently had a battery fail pretty spectacularly in a Huawei 5G router, which had spent most of its short (3 years) life sitting charged to 100%. Admittedly the replacement battery was cheap, but the failed battery was a messy hassle to change since it had swollen up so much it almost blew the housing of the router apart. And potentially dangerous if it had split open or caught on fire.

If Huawei had a "limit charge" feature in this device, it would probably have avoided all that hassle!

Baen used to give away huge portions of their catalog in the CDs included with their hardbacks. Buying the latest in the series meant a good chance the rest of the series was on the CD. Even now they're the kings of available formats, even if they're not quite as high quality as other ebook providers. And their prices are so cheap (most books are $10 new, less as they age) I have to wonder how they and the authors make money.

I am not sure if its due new Youtube CEO, but it is getting very hostile recently. One example I can share – I usually did open youtube.com and see suggested videos list. Now instead of that I get 'dark pattern' information about how I don't share my history – therefore youtube cannot suggest me anything. I don't know, if it can't, why not show my subscriptions then? I still pay for premium, but I barely use it these days. Might state the obvious, its only because they have monopoly that they can get away with this hostility to its users.

Does someone know why there is only one iOS with not so optimal UI/UX?

On Android both clipious and libretube are really good piped/invidious apps with very active development and good UI.

Another thing I noticed is that sometimes videos just don't work. And then you spend time search for an instance where things work. Why is that?
The phones display 100% at like 98-99%.

The Android API allows you do get the voltage and current of the battery (with negative current for discharging and positive for charging), so there are apps out there that tell you the real state of the battery when it's in that range. The phones will tell the user fully charged before it's actually completely charged, but it's not much. It's mainly so if you leave it plugged in, it can cycle a bit up and down while still displaying 100% instead of continually trickle-charging.

My guess is tablets would be similar, but I've never had one.

Personally, I have a rule against buying DRM books.

If a title is only legally available with DRM, I'll just do without, not pirate.

When the book is available non-DRM, such as from ebooks.com, I've paid a hefty premium over the Kindle DRM price.

Thanks to O'Reilly for being clueful enough to sell non-DRM versions.

If the DRM situation gets even worse, I don't know what I'll do. I'd like the DRM situation to get better, not worse.
Noooo… you mean there’s a Mac OS Bonnydoon floating around the Apple O-ring?
There's not much to it. You route them without worrying about equal length, and then your EDA tool adds serpentine tracks to the shorter one to match its length to the longer one.
Are you paying your 5% dues? And why aren't you?

Talk is dirt cheap.
Easy: stop buying books from Amazon
The problem is I vote without my wallet. If there's no DRM likely I'll get it without paying for it. So it's my vote against yours.
I think it has you install something on the server if you want to, and it's more reliable. But yeah, completely in different league from vscode.

We need more DRM-free stores for books.
Enjoy this for the next 10 minutes, because it's about to be gone. Thanks for the bug report!
That's because carry-on luggage policy is rarely enforced. So people have to make do with rushing. Some people take multiple items with them on carry-on and do not use the seat in front.
Thanks for sharing this awesome lore.
> "I am kind of OCD about keeping it between 40-80% charged, which is a lot of manual toil."

You shouldn't worry too much about going below 40%. Regularly draining it to zero might shorten battery life, but going down to 10-20% won't.

> " I don't believe there's any good reason to force batteries to excessively damage themselves."

From Apple's perspective there is. Selling replacement batteries is very profitable.
>but just using alternative, smaller platforms makes a huge difference

this does not scale. bandwidth costs will crush small platforms and they will eventually be absorbed into bigger ones.. the only exit is closure (especially from a rouge patent troll or DMCA lawsuit) or buyout. see justin.tv as an example

edit: all costs will crush you. you need a mod team to prevent runaway piracy and child porn. you need a security team to prevent attacks. you need a network team to try to minimize bandwidth loss. video delivery is not a cheap game, so i'm not really sure how free platforms will survive

Yeah you have to manage the batteries. Don't try to charge them hot. Don't store them at full charge. Don't leave them on the charger any longer than they need to reach full charge. Don't leave them outside or where they might freeze.

Still easier (so far) for me than fooling with oil/gas mixing, starting troubles, cleaning carburetors, etc.

Poor wording is interfering with the conveyance of the message. Southwest lets you board the plane without an assigned seat, you then scan the plane and plop yourself down in your favorite. United lets you select a seat (on some fares) when you book the ticket or check in. You absolutely cannot board the plane and sit wherever you like. (You guys are interpreting the word "pick" as meaning both things.)
I'm not a lawyer, but I think pirating it is actually more legal (in most jurisdictions) than removing DRM.

As long as you just leech, you're not sharing copyrighted content, and therefore arguably not in breach of copyright.
I'm not certain, but I want to say it is a mock-PDP-8 control panel.
There should be an option to use the charger directly without involving the battery.
It's because of the Chinese economy. They had to do a significant writedown because they were overexposed to Bank of Xi'an, whose share price has collapsed 75% from their peak, around which time ScotiaBank began overhiring.
From the article, the layoffs are happening because of the Chinese economy.

According to Chinese language media, it appears ScotiaBank is laying off their "global workforce" (read: Chinese operations)

They had to do a significant writedown because they were overexposed to Bank of Xi'an, whose share price has collapsed 75% from their peak, around which time ScotiaBank began overhiring.

Furthermore, Bank of Xi'an is a commercial bank, so it is overexposed to the ongoing real estate bust.

This isn't the first time something likr this happened in China - there was a similar recession in 2015-16 - but it seems Western institutions are much more exposed now in spite of the ongoing trade war.
It really boggles my mind that people get upset about airline travel. You're paying a pittance to travel thousands of miles in a day, and you get free snacks and tv. Oh you're uncomfortable? Less comfortable than taking a car, bus or train that will take ten times as long and is much more likely to crash, and probably costs more?

Why is it hard to understand that people want to travel in relative comfort?
The one issue is, unlike social data, you’ve not just given up your data, but you’ve condemned your entire future lineage to this leak. All their genetic information can be partially imputed from this info.

Limiting charging to 80% means getting rid of constant voltage charging mode altogether. Generally speaking and in illustrative numbers, Li-ion batteries are charged in following manners:

- Below 10%, battery is charged in pre-charge mode through a 10-foot pole.

- Above 10%, battery is charged in constant current mode, as in:
`charger.current_max(battery.CAPACITY * battery.CHARGE_C_RATE)`
`charger.voltage(battery.voltage + 0.0001)`

- Above 80%, battery is charged in constant voltage mode, as in:
`charger.current_max(battery.TERMINATION_CURRENT)`
`charger.voltage(battery.VOLTAGE_MAX)`

- `charger.charge_complete` shall return `True` if `battery.voltage == battery.VOLTAGE_MAX and charger.current == battery.TERMINATION_CURRENT`.

- * `battery.CHARGE_C_RATE` is generally set within 0.2 to 4; 1.0 matches mAh rating of the battery, a mostly-safe default. 0.2 is 5 hours to full charge, and 4 is "fast charge to 80% in 15 minutes".
- * all above is usually implemented in charge controller chip firmware, often in actual ROM; the bare minimum often done in real products is to hardwire indicate `charger.current_max` to the chip in circuits. That suffices unless intricate charging really is one of your differentiation.
- * `battery.state_of_charge` is more or less `find_acidity_or_pH(battery.voltage, battery.formulae)`, by the way. Capacity-Voltage curve is titration chart turned sideways.

It is often vaguely told that this constant voltage variable current mode used in 80 - 100% range is harmful to batteries, so not doing it should improve longevity. As to why then implement CV modes at all, and why not offer an option to easily disable it, I don't know. Everyone does it this way. I wish I knew if altering `battery.VOLTAGE_MAX` would work or if `charger.allow_cv_charging` can be set to `False`, but those are often hardcoded `4.2` and `True` in ROM.
