Tmobile owns Mint.

>Whoever owns the infrastructure shouldn’t also provide the service.

How does it benefit people to have another entity with all of its costs in the chain literally just collecting rent?

Tmobile/Verizon/ATT all use different brands like Mint for price segmentation, selling the spectrum at different prices to different populations. And they prioritize traffic based on how important the client is (typically related to how much they pay):

> Applying double standards by requiring of [Israel] a behavior not expected or demanded of any other democratic nation.

Well yeah. I would hope that a foreign nation that we (the US) so consistently arm, fund, and diplomatically support would be held to higher standards than one we don't.
For that kind of consistency you'd create LoRAs
Both really, since models are pretty much 100% "hot" RAM. The bigger the model the more bandwidth it demands too since evaluating it means streaming the entire thing through the processor.
> Due to the deskilling of the bank branch, the people at a bank branch, including the branch manager in many firms, can only offer solutions to relatively straightforward problems. For the other ones, they also have to call into a support phone tree. Sometimes the bank will have ability to e.g. share context between their screen and the Tier 2 rep; sometimes they’re literally incapable of proving to the bank that they work there.

This is essentially the central value proposition of our SaaS product - Providing less-skilled employees the ability to accurately conduct complex account and customer management activities in the branch environment. An "on-rails" style application experience that more-or-less forces you to take legal actions with the end customer.

Our most popular workflows from the perspective of bankers are the ones used most rarely - IRA rollovers, conversions, etc. The ones you cannot possibly hope to memorize because they happen so rarely. But, from a board room perspective, the focus is much stronger on the efficiency/correctness gains for the happy-path consumer product stacks.

I'd say it's a dragon of a space. Borderline cursed. It took us half a decade just to get core interfaces working well enough and that is only like 20% of the puzzle. Documentation, regulations, back office processes, etc are way more important and involve super nasty conversations with people who might sense that you are trying to replace them.
Snapdragon X Elites has expedite the process
I'm using the same setup and use 100% scaling and "Large Text" accessibility settings. Good enough for me, as a workaround so I thought it's worth mentioning.
Steam fractional scaling should work since their big UI update a few months ago. Try launching Steam with this environment variable: STEAM_FORCE_DESKTOPUI_SCALING=1.5
In reality there aren't multiple runtimes in a real, pluggable, generic sense. There's tokio and then some niche things that are hard to build on top of because they're not tokio (despite being possibly technically superior in some way).

Every async-focused dependency that is relevant effectively mandates Tokio. And I've been ridiculed in public and private forums for suggesting that there should be a way to write libraries generically so that they don't have a runtime dependency. (Right now, services as basic as locking and task spawning are coupled to tokio, at least, and people use them all over.). Major new things are being made, all coupled to tokio.

And I think this is a shitty situation for a whole bunch of reasons. And others (looks like you, too) agree, but it feels like there's just no way this is going to get fixed.

Like, this article here, it doesn't even mention this as a concern? In the context of a big picture discussion of async over the next 4 years.

So I don't foresee any progress on this front, and it makes me want to just rip async out of my code entirely.
I'm missing the old "double press crown" action, which toggled between the two most recent apps. Now it brings up the recent apps menu, which got kicked off the side button to make room for control center, which got kicked off of swipe-up to make room for a stack of widgets.

It also takes much more precise scrolling to check whether I've gotten the current Stand hour. Used to be continuous scrolling and you just had to get one small bar somewhere within the screen. Now it's a bunch of fullscreen pages and you need to scroll down to the exact page and no farther.

The new UI is prettier, but it's definitely not as efficient.

EDIT - I'd also like to be able to kick the date/time off of the widget stack so that I could have two useful widgets immediately on screen. I'm not swiping up to look at the date and time, I have both of those on my watch face. This should really be a widget from the Clock app if someone wants to have it there, but otherwise let me delete it.

Trying to tap widgets further down the stack also behaves weirdly. In the iOS app switcher cards you can tap on the background cards near the left side of the screen to open an app from further back in the stack without having to scroll to it first. The one to the left of the current app is a pretty easy target, the second one to the left is a bit of a narrow line along the edge. But it works, you tap either of them and they activate.

Not so with the watchOS 10 widget stack. You can see the next two widgets in the background along the bottom of the screen, but if you try to tap on them they just disappear.

They're past due for an iOS 12 style polish pass on all of their platforms. But now their attention is going to be focused on launching and iterating a whole new one (visionOS) so it's hard to get optimistic.
They've got some weird above-the-law scenario going on there, which sounds like the root cause of their problems.
The trouble is finding a "reputable" dealer and a trustable path of provenance. I've been looking around for a set of specific coins from the 6th Century. They show up in searches but range from $20-$500. You can't tell if you're getting the real thing or a knock-off. Few have an escrow mechanism so you don't know if you're throwing your money into the void.

So many of the websites raised red flags that I just stopped looking.

The public is not capable, either technically nor emotionally nor politically.
That looks nice, but not a lot better than just embedded schemas. If it had more to offer for validating dates, I'd be interested.

Padding inside boxes/buttons looks all weird.

Since for me less is more I'm doing 200% non-fractional with a smaller font. The problem is that I need a different font size from my 1920x1200 laptop screen (usually secondary, far away from me, with documentation websites/slack/etc) and my primary 4k.

For browsers I can change the default font size and forget the controls, since I'm using vimium, but stuff like Skype/Slack/Zoom/etc needs more dancing whenever I change the display.

Well defamation isn’t a criminal offense so at most they could file a civil suit in a US court as far as US jurisdiction applies and maybe they would be able to make a case, but US jurisdiction doesn’t extend to Thailand. That said we’re not going to be assisting in an extradition of anyone over something like this either (if a request were filed) since this falls squarely within 1st Amendment jurisprudence.

Maybe because I use power tools so often that when something flips form-follows-function backwards, it stands out like a sore thumb -- for example none of the exterior design of the cab affects its use or modularity, yet they clearly spent some time on it.

KDE needs more attention. Now it is tucked away as a "spin" that does not inspire much confidence, but in some cases KDE provides much better user experience. Time to add all DEs into ISO and allow selecting the one you want during install, and software too. Like in old days of Fedora Core.

Nice style guide, better than most.

However, I may never understand why grid systems get the amount of reverence that they do. Although there's a certain necessity in having consistency, I can't help but view grid systems has a sort of pseudoscience. Page 2/7 in this style guide shows examples of many page elements that aren't really consistent with their grid. I've also seen plenty of websites with great designs that have different sized margins, or they lack dead space, or their gutters are different sizes, and they look fine. Grids make more sense for print because you have a single size of viewport, vertically and horizontally, therefore you need to have a system for fitting what you can on a single page. On the web, there's infinite vertical space, and most news websites don't take "above the fold" that seriously anymore. Besides, the web developer will inevitably be asked to do some one off special design at some point that violates the grid system. It might as well not exist, but be relegated to a light guideline.

It is indeed a widespread problem, but there is a sort of continuum of accountability, responsibility, and sustainability. Shein is one of the worst offenders, and certainly the largest of the worst. They seek out zero accountability and push prices down despite the consequences.

An example of a company doing it right is Patagonia. Of course they have high prices, but this is more an effect of an economy so dependent on cheap goods that making anything of quality is expensive. Wages of the typical worker in the western world have been pushed lower and lower relative to productivity, and the only reason we haven’t revolted is the stream of cheap goods from overseas that allow us to survive even with low wages. If workers all over the world, both in garment factories overseas and at home in the western world, got paid fair wages, the cost of quality clothing would be bearable even by normal workers.

In much the same way that a janitor could afford to buy a home in the 1960’s, a more just economy today or in the future would allow regular people to afford quality clothing.

I say this about the economy because people will say “well you can’t expect regular people to afford $200 per outfit.” Well you can if the outfit lasts 10+ years and the person is getting paid a wage commensurate with productivity.

That said, living wage advocates note that paying garment workers a living wage need only raise garment prices by 50 cents or so. Patagonia goes the extra mile and that is ultimately a great thing, but it’s not even necessary to at least tackle the poor wages of garment workers.
This seems to be the real bottle neck in the housing supply chain, and why prices are so high.

Simple fact is that there aren't enough skilled people to actually build the houses.

Yeah, this is very accurate. Which in turn is why games journalism is such a broken industry in of itself, because it mixes all the problems of the games industry as a whole (people accepting miserable wages for a 'dream job', fairly low barrier to entry, toxic conditions) with those of the media industry (people accepting low/miserable wages, low barrier to entry, toxic conditions and almost no way to make a decent amount of revenue).

Hence you get situations like the focus of this discussion; the people who actually do the work and draw in the visitors getting treated terribly by out of touch execs, and many sites cratering as a result of similar poor decision making.
OK, but like, can we just be honest then that the problem here is that your build times go up? People act like it's an insurmountable problem rather than just a trivial trade-off where, yes, your build times will go up because of some extra dependencies on an async runtime.

Increased build times are not great but holy shit the way people talk you'd never know that that's the actual trade-off here, an extra 3 seconds on a clean build.

It's generally estimated that the vast majority of antiquities on the market are the product of illegal activity, though typically more less severe crimes than grave robbing. It's not a problem limited to the middle east, though looting is particularly severe there. I've seen it all over the US for example, a country with particularly strong antiquities laws.

People should avoid any antiquities that don't have clear provenance.

In my excitement with the beta version of Fedora 39, I installed it and had fractional scaling for a few minutes- until I installed updates and rebooted. It was gone. That was the last time I touched it.

Fractional Scaling is a *must* these days, with the high res laptop screens.
Star/galaxy surveys.

For example there were a bunch of articles recently about 'stars disappearing'. That's because we take snapshots of wide ranges of the cosmos every once in a while and compare them. We can use this to figure out the direction and velocity of stars in our own galaxy. And in some cases things appear and disappear that are rather unexpected. You don't get that from narrow angle photos.

>Well defamation isn’t a criminal offense

I'm not a Thai lawyer, but it sounds like it's criminal there:

https://library.siam-legal.com/thai-law/criminal-code-defama...

> If the offence of defamation be committed by means of publication of a document, drawing, painting, cinematography film, picture or letters made visible by any means, gramophone record or another recording instruments, recording picture or letters, or by broadcasting or spreading picture, or by propagation by any other means, the offender shall be punished with imprisonment not exceeding two years and fined not exceeding two hundred thousand Baht.

As I understand, the US is relatively very permissive in regards to defamatory speech, and has a very high bar for punishing this type of speech compared to other places.

Tilling destroys the soil structure: fungal networks, plant roots, worms & their tunnels that provide aeration, etc. Mostly beneficial to plant growth.

But modern day farming doesn't work with nature. Instead prefers to start with 'clean' soil devoid of most of those critters. Including the beneficial ones. Tilling to loosen the soil, vs. letting the worms do it.

> Are there any downsides to just tilling it under?

Tilling is hard work & machinery to do it may not be available or affordable.

No tilling = remains of previous crop in the way. Or it may even regrow (partially?).

My guess: burning is simply an easy & quick way to remove those remnants. Not a smart way to farm, though.
I took a quick look into the paper. To be honest (I'm far from being an expert).
As I understand it seems they took some toy models, and tried to show that the models do not generalize out of sample.

To me it is unclear what does it say about much more complex models? So for example there might be already so much structure, that you do not need to generalize out of sample and maybe humans don't do it as well.

That PDF-based "The Escapist" had some really great content some issues. Well researched, highly intellectual, and sometimes fascinatingly deep. That was the era I most followed The Escapist. Somewhere after that was when it fell out of my RSS feeds for being too shallow, I might have even blamed Zero Punctuation a bit for that at the time. That was always a weird dichotomy to me of well researched magazine on the one side and shallow, fast-paced, rambling video reviews on the other. I enjoyed some of the ZP takes at the time and I appreciate Yahtzee's ability to deliver interesting points sometimes, but it was always something I felt was of the vanguard of "shallow clickbait" that every game site had to be soon after that.

Anyway, I thought The Escapist died a long time ago, it's fun to reminisce about the one that I liked the most and to hear from everyone else about this later The Escapist that has died even to the point of angering the golden calf of ZP itself.
I don’t know how one would settle the question but I’d venture to say that Theravada is not less close to the Western impression of Buddhism than other parts of Buddhism.
