I did it on the hobbyist scene for a bit and then my place of work tried to spin up an indie shop. It can be fun. It can be interesting. However, it is not as lucrative as just writing YACS (Yet Another CRUD Site).

Now, I would like to get back to hobbyist development, just for giggles, but I've wound up with so many obligations, it's hard to find time.

Apple should make a mode for iPhones that lets parents lock down any and every feature on their kids phones/watches. If they would do that, they'd sell a lot more phones to a lot younger customers.

But to answer the question, in the current climate, a smartphone as late as possible. A dumb phone pretty much any time.

> national security interests of the most powerful nation on the planet is complicated

It's actually the opposite

National security of least powerfull countries, like Korea, is most complicated. They are most at risk and least likely to harm others.

The most powerfull nation on earth is the opposite, it is not really in danger, its very secure, and presents the most danger to others - whether through ignorance or stupidity or malice.

So we should actually be publishing almost everything from US/Russia/China because they often ruin millions of lives, but in practice ofcourse we do the opposite.
Why's that? For example, wouldn't you describe any rotomolded cooler as a knockoff Yeti? To me, that doesn't seem to comment on the legit vs. counterfeit nature of the cooler, it just anchors the viewer's expectation.

Is there some special protection (in the USA) given to describing something as a "knockoff" versus "similar to"?

I’m not sure the name of the fallacy, but there’s a common urge to assume what’s measurable is real. So in statistics you have to really design your sample well.

But frequently whatever is nearby can still be useful for selling ads or whatever so people get used to using it for everything.

Back in the olden days people would mock others who quoted a random twitterer who said “George Bush thinks xyz” but now that’s like half of all the news stories.
Fermi estimates are fine, we aren’t trying to track bird deaths out to 6 decimal places. I have no problem saying 30-70 million stray cats and something like ~6 billion calories per day from wildlife.

Stray cats may have higher density near people but so do song birds because humans feed birds they like to look at. Someone buying 10kg of bird feed a month keeps quite a lot of bird biomass alive.
I said this without judgement as an answer to this comment:

> If there are at least 50 applicants, arguably, perhaps the price is too low...

Yes, prices are too low. Yes, you cannot increase prices. Status quo.

Generally I agree to your point - if demand is high, prices will be high. People should move somewhere else.
That's a strategy. And depending on your downtime tolerance it may be an acceptable strategy. In this case it probably wasn't an appropriate strategy.

If not coins then how about relics? Everything that someone owned before us which was lost is below our feet and all one needs to do is study old maps to correlate the increased probability of finding one of those lost things from long ago. It happened by chance, almost 15 years ago now, that I learned something about the area in which I live that piqued my interest. As one who metal detects for exercise versus paying for a gym membership like many do, my chosen exercise pays me back quite well too if your area is significantly historic. ;) This leads me to inform those reading this far with interest that stone tools are everywhere and one just needs to know what to look for. Some of these stone tools date back over 10,000 years so if owning/holding a coin that is a 1000 years old is exciting, put yourself in my shoes when I discover and pick up a point (arrowhead) that dates back 5000 years. Now consider the last person to touch it before it was lost and how many people that relic fed. I have found hundreds of such relics and many old coins in the last 15 years, just yesterday I went for a walk and found 2 more points. My neighbors house is going up for sale in a few weeks for anyone that is extremely hard core in this hobby.

Well... Mayer was running Yahoo into the ground, so I'm not sure whether her retrospective beliefs are worth anything. Yahoo already tried doing their own original content and failed at it. I don't see how a Netflix acquisition by Yahoo would have done anything but plummet Netflix.

What Yahoo should have done was try to capitalize on the growing negative sentiment against The Google, social media, and Big Tech in general. By that I mean that Yahoo should have revamped itself to be privacy-oriented. This wouldn't be easy to pull off since Yahoo was (still is?) an advertising firm, but at this point they don't suffer the reputation of The Google in terms of having so much data that they "know what you want before you know it." So, for instance, Yahoo Mail should have been retooled to use end-to-end encryption and promised to never read your emails or share with third parties. Yahoo Search should have essentially become what Kagi is today; a search engine that gives power back to the user. Yahoo News should have been taken off the homepage and scoped exclusively to the News section unless the user opts-in to keeping the news one the homepage. Their news product should also have tried to distance itself from being a chum bucket of celebrity gossip and legacy entertainment news (today they still forward Buzzfeed articles for cripes sake). Yahoo made one semi-decent move with LastPass Premium being a part of Yahoo Plus Secure, but the problem here is that LastPass is fraught with controversy, and it's a product that's more or less tacked on to the Yahoo brand rather than being a true part of it. No one wants a glorified trial for some software that may no longer be offered through Yahoo someday.

Would these changes have meant that Yahoo would maximize their profit? Certainly not, at least not in the beginning. However, it would give them a chance to become relevant and grow in the long term. Of course, I don't believe they're ever going to do that. They have been experiencing late-stage corporatism for most of their existence, and that's not going to change without getting rid of all the clowns from the C-level.

Everything about Yahoo for most of its existence screams design by corporate committee. Their ecosystem is in a better shape than it was, but it's still baffling just how safe they want to play everything. Their whole site screams Web 1.0 but without any of the Web 1.0 charm. Making Yahoo Mail a safe haven from the likes of Gmail would have been such an obvious win, in my opinion. Yet the former CEO of Yahoo thinks they would have been better off buying a company that succeeds an area where Yahoo proves to have sucked hard at?
It was anything but an anomaly. I added these to my original comment for clarity, but I'll put them here too.

If we don't have a responsibility to determine who the land belongs just who last owned it then it seems like the colonists should retain it. The last people to control the land are the colonists after all.

Let's look at this from a normal legal situation. You own an item that was stolen by thief A. Thief B then steals it from thief A. Should your item be returned to you or to thief A? Your logic would indicate thief A. Nobody thinks that would be the right solution and yet when it comes to native lands nobody cares. I just want some consistency.
I'm a homeowner and I want more housing built. But I also want improvements to transit and for both bike & car commuting. It's great that a lot of the current crop of apartments are being built along Caltrain & light rail corridors, but those still mostly only keep people who work along those corridors off the roads, creating more congestion for everyone. 87, 880, 101, 85, and 280 (until you get past Cupertino) are all already basically parking lots during rush hours, and it's because people can't live near where they work. This was the entire point of companies like Google & Meta including residential development in their broader campus development plans in Menlo Park, Mountain View, and San Jose ... and if it doesn't happen, then which municipalities are going to pick up the slack to incentivize developers to build near those campuses?

Glad to see someone else had that problem too - I spent hours reading through the Twilio documentation to try to figure out if transactional sms was allowed because all I kept seeing was campaign registration, campaign fees, and etc all about campaign sms. And if we had to pay the campaign monthly fees even if we sent transactional sms, not campaign.

I understand that it's not Twilio's fault, but they desperately need to hire some developer evangelists to write some documentation.
JetBlue and Spirit do not have profits in recent years:

https://www.macrotrends.net/stocks/charts/JBLU/jetblue-airwa...

https://www.macrotrends.net/stocks/charts/SAVE/spirit-airlin...

I am not an expert in airlines, and I am sure there are COVID effects, but it seems like the other domestic airlines have bounced back quicker since they are showing profits.

But more importantly, I remember Jetblue wanting to provide a better than average flying experience when the airline started, so I presume the only reason they would want to merge with Spirit, a company who does the exact opposite, is because they are facing financial headwinds.

Can we just stop with the nonsense about "people wanting to live where the rich people live" as if a good majority of the people who are fighting for affordable housing aren't people who _already_ live there and are fighting against being priced out of where they grew up?

Your only response is an absurd defeatist appeal to human nature and trite clichés like "life isn't fair", ignoring that legislation is very capable of addressing this particular issue. That is currently the plan, and the plan is being executed by the state of California. If you think individual rich homeowners are more powerful than the state, then I think it might be you who is out of touch with the state of reality.

Not accounted for in the initial calculation is cost of adoption needing to learn how to apply them in your workflow in the most effecient / least disruptive way to realize the 5% improvement

I don't think anyone's against self improvement, but the cognitive overload of continually juggling multiple 5% improvements vs a possibly more-disruptive (but in reality usually more streamlined) 25% improvement down the line just doesn't make sense if you value your own time, especially if you have to essentially embed yourself as an expert into the domain to be able to follow improvements

PayPal was a product of the company purchased after the first time Musk was forced out as CEO of X.com,Musk was brought in as CEO again as a consequence of the acquisition, and a big part of why he was forced out again was that he didn’t want to focus on the PayPal product or name, which... basically everyone else involved disagreed with.

So, I think the distinction goes to the heart of what the problem was for which he was kicked out.

Snowden made a mistake in not dumping the whole archive to Wikileaks as was done with the US State Department cables and the CIA's Vault 7 files.

I think there's probably a lot more in those files that's of great embarrassment not just to the NSA and the US government in general (such as proof that it was conducting an illegal warrantless mass surveillance program in violation of US law) - but also to their collaborators in the private tech sector who seem to have been quite active participants in the program.

For example, one of the most revealing revelations was that NSA spied on the Brazilian oil company Petrobras - which is very hard to justify on national security grounds, and instead points to industrial espionage of the kind the NSA claims it doesn't engage in (as compared to China, etc.).

But that's really clear on the body cam. The criminal punches the camera, the camera recording ends, and then the criminal claims that the police did something to him? That's going to be harder to sell in court. In fact, that would probably lead to adverse inference against the criminal, not against the officer, because it's the criminal who made it so that there was no evidence.
I mean that sounds like stocks, which do exist, and people do use to pay other people.

I agree that the benefits seem way more obvious for a server. I already deploy all my server-side apps via Docker containers with basically no system-level dependencies!

That being said, one of the main benefits I am hoping to get out of Silverblue on the desktop is relief from the almost-inevitable system degradation I have experienced with other Linux distros where, over time (and especially with major upgrades), more and more things slow down and/or stop working. I am not sure if I am just doing something wrong (besides daily heavy use), but historically all my desktop Linux installations have become almost unusable after a couple years. I am only a few months into using Silverblue, but I am hoping that the way the system image is rebuilt for each update makes it more stable in the long-term....
I'm sure I've seen some stats that showed married men live longer than singles.
The L2 point is about 1.5 million kilometers from Earth. The various probes like Webb and Euclid orbit around that point at (IIRC) about a million kilometers. The various probes in that orbit will effectively never interfere with each others instruments.

As for coordination, at that orbit, it's going to likely be the individual agencies coordinating with one another. Every probe/satellite launch gets COSPAR IDs and other tracking IDs through various national and international agencies.

Traffic flows better if played as a collective game, where the objective is to help the others get through it along with helping yourself.

This strategy, if followed by enough people, massively reduces traffic stress. It may also reduce travel time, but honestly the difference is likely just a few minutes each way.

Yes, I've driven in cities that play by the "we are in it together, let's work together to get us all out", and cities that play by "any advantage I can get regardless of the cost to others".

Problem is, once enough people start playing the selfish game, the equilibrium breaks and everyone has to go selfish.

that's how you kill a society. Kill the social contract, the care for your fellows, one form of interaction at a time.
One of the defining properties of dark matter is that it interacts only weakly at most, or else we would see an entirely different distribution. Ordinary matter can dissipate heat because of electromagnetic interaction and thus collapse into galaxies. Dark matter can't, so it only forms diffuse, homogeneous halos.

The idea of "dark chemistry", whole not whacky enough to be immediately discarded, is highly exotic.

Tiger was Spring of 2005, Leopard was Fall of 2007. That one was delayed several months because Apple had to divert resources to ship the first iPhone. Snow Leopard was Fall 2009, then Apple basically moved onto the yearly release cycle in Summer 2011 with Lion and moved it to Fall of every year with Mavericks in 2013.

I believe Mavericks was also when Apple stopped charging for OS upgrades.

"async" and threads are not the only options for concurrent IO.

I've never saw anyone discuss using poll(2) style concurrency here which is interesting but also kind of sad.

With the mio crate for example, it uses the operating systems "select/poll" interface. On Linix this is epoll(7), but other OSes have their own interface.

"poll" style concurrency is a lot less complicated for me. The general idea is to register IO handles such as sockets into a data structure and pass it into the kernel. The kernel will emit events whenever a handle is ready to do something. There is the option to go to sleep and block until one of the handles are ready but it's not required.

"async" is an abstraction on top of this. The async runtime is handling the event loop and other stuff for you which is very useful but also a little bit complicated.

I am not in any way against "async" style concurrency but I think a lot of libraries could avoid pulling in a runtime and still be concurrent.
