> As to why they are so expensive one has to keep in mind these are inherently dangerous so they do not buy the cheapest parts, they have to go through a longish federal approval process and the companies probably have higher insurance costs.

We hope. I don't trust anything being sold on Amazon or any other such website known for scams, knockoffs, and otherwise shite products being passed for legit. I'm less concerned about the price of the components vs the quality of the components. You can have cheap quality but a high price just to fool people that expensive is good.
Offer help with troubleshooting, hop on a call (maybe pair programming), ask what have they tried to solve the problem, etc, etc... If you assume someone is slacking because of common roadblocks, you're setting yourself up for trust issues. If you see they are indeed underperforming, you can take regular steps from there. If they straight up lie it'll be obvious at some point. No need to start with stance of distrust IMO

Would that really help? There's a virtually unlimited supply of "stuff" one could desire & buy. There might not be a new iPhone this year, but would you look at that shiny new watch/console/TV/etc.

Either you care about owning status symbols or you don't, I don't think taking one of them off the market would make a difference.
People wonder why I like using the shell-based ACME client like dehydrated (or acme.sh):

* https://packages.debian.org/search?keywords=dehydrated

* https://github.com/acmesh-official/acme.sh

Versus the official client certbot:

* https://packages.debian.org/search?keywords=python3-certbot

A kludgy as very long shell scripts are (thought to be), I probably have a better chance of being able to go through all the that code and understand it than a dozen(+) Python libraries. And if there's an update/s, a diff of one shell script easier to parse than multiple libraries that may be updated.
I mostly just dont see why it’s relevant. What decision is this supposed to inform? Whether or not Apple releases a new phone? Clearly Apple will do what they see fit, which is releasing more often, and if they are wrong Apple will pay the price. And they clearly have not been wrong.
I'd spend lots of real money to get rid of social media once and for all. Like thousands. It would do alot of good for society.

While I was in university I was working on this (now abandoned) project https://flyingcarz.io/ which tracks changes in used car prices. Talking about this project helped me get an internship at CDK Global, a company that provides tech services to the auto industry, primarily car dealerships.
Kiwix is good, but the file size of offline Wikipedia is bloated compared to Wiki2Touch.

Wiki2Touch is about 9 GB for en-wiki as of 2012, and about 14 GB now.

I've been working on a Wiki2Touch reader for more modern iPhones. I've got the BZ2 decompression working, now I'm just cleaning up the markup to HTML parser in JavaScript.

If you're interested, please email me and I'll send you the code! You can install it for a week on a non-jailbroken device using XCode self-signing, and if you're jailbroken you can install the Immortal tweak to make it work forever.

If you have a developer subscription and want to put it on the App Store, I'm be very happy to let you do that. I just don't want to pay $100 for the privilege of running my own code.
I disagree though, DIY circuit breakers actually could burn down your house, which I think is a step up from this project. It's like a DIY kernel file system driver vs. DIY bittorrent client.
Do you inspect all the code you run on your computer? You probably got all of it off the internet, except for the firmware blobs you couldn't even inspect if you wanted to.

And hell, even an "execution safe" configuration can contain malware if there's a parser bug.

At some point you have to choose who to trust and not to trust to write code that runs on your system, and all you can really do is try to verify that they did in fact write it, and run untrusted code in isolation from sensitive data.
you just need to join the right instances ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Perhaps the parent comment is indirectly referring to the Margaret Atwood quote:

“Men are afraid that women will laugh at them. Women are afraid that men will kill them.”
Why? it's widely deployed, actively maintained and more importantly reliable. 10+ year old support threads are mostly still valid advice.
Went from unifi to Omada here as well. The APs have better specs for half the price. UI is comparable (at least for wireless, can't comment on their edge stuff but if you're familiar with the standard unifi controller setup you'll be comfortable with Omada).
> Is this normal for ATC to communicate like this? This sounds like some people I worked with in previous job with much lower stakes involved…

Caveat, while flying I'd hate to hear this from a controller if I'm on the edge of consuming my reserve fuel. But before judging this particular controller I'd be interested to know what the other comms traffic was like, both with this plane and also the pace of the rest of the arrivals. I don't want to pick on ATC if the seemingly sudden onset of aggression was cherry-picked for the blog from a conversation that had already tried to handle the matter politely.

It's also important to understand that many US ATC facilities are understaffed, the controllers are overworked, and a high incidence of rostering them for extra shifts will leave them fatigued. It doesn't make it any easier for the pilots to get the plane on the ground when they're getting short shrift from ATC like this, but the core of the problem is ATC training and turnover rates. Not one particular controller getting cranky with pilots because he/she is powertripping.

If I felt that an investment had a 2-3 year life before being semi-formally deprecated, I would feel more like buying it. The thing is, that I can't think of consumer objects I routinely buy where the pressure to show I have the "newest" one is so strong. Nobody cares if my kindle is old.

Amongst my colleagues, like me it's a badge of honour to run an old phone. The last nokia standout only ditched it when they turned off 2G. He went with a minimalist phone which could do google maps acknowledging GPS was useful. He does nothing else. On the whole, chosing to run a phone with high MaH battery life and at least some commitment to update is a good choice. Apple actually can conform to this, because the older models are 7 years in, with software support.
Author here. Thanks for the thoughtful reply!

I did indeed mix up `useMemo` and `React.memo` – fixed it in the post.

You're right, I am skipping a lot of details (hence "to grossly oversimplify"). I know that React doesn't invalidate the whole tree, but it does in the worst case. Maybe I should add a note about that.

Svelte not being truly reactive makes perfect sense, but in Svelte v5 my understanding is that "runes mode" does exactly that. This is what I mean by "moving in that direction."
Agreed, we're starting with a few big tech companies for quality > quantity. We will gradually add more companies based on demand.

> a sprinkling of "I think" or "it seems to me" in in comments goes a long way towards not only not triggering some people into down voting, but also seems to promote more useful discussion

Agreed on this for sure. My comments used to get more downvoted (or at least less upvoted) before I started pointing out that they're just my opinion. Bonus if you mention your opinion on the subject is loosely held and open to correction (personally I love it when someone says something that causes my mind to change! Fresh neuron connections, free dopamine!)

Originally I thought that people would just assume everything I wrote without citing any sources is my opinion but I guess folks just need to be reassured sometimes :)
If you mean effects as data, I can't think of anything off top other than elm which is a language + framework.

I've made my own though: https://github.com/marcellerusu/capable-js.

Its not for use but it was an interesting experience that enables a lot of new patterns by using generators.

I don't claim that it is better than other frameworks though, there's a lot of times where this pattern is significantly more cumbersome than just using react.
But we're talking about JSTOR's behavior and reputation here, not the legalities, which have been discussed many times (although not tested in courts).

In particular after state and federal prosecutors went berserk and MIT admin didn't push back in the name of these same freedoms that JSTOR is telling us were so beloved and apple-pie back in WWII. It's not like JSTOR publicly said "This federal criminal indictment is massive overreaction; not in our name". It's a matter of record that JSTOR executives were threatening MIT.

Swartz was (criminally) charged with up to 35 years in prison, to be followed by three years of supervised release, restitution, forfeiture and a fine of up to $1 million(!) [0]. Harsher than many indictments for cases of terrorism or mass murder.
For something that may well not even have been a criminal act. By a group of people who may well not even have been the actual rights holders - that claim never saw the inside of a courtroon since the massive overcharge made it unlikely that Swartz would contest; and in fact it caused him to commit suicide.

I always get slightly confused with "AI Super Intelligence" as a defining word.

To my understanding, an AI super intelligence wouldn't necessarily be an AGI. It just needs to have a goal, and the means to infer/figure out ways to reach that goal. AKA the paperclip machine. It doesn't need to have the intelligence of a dog.

I assume I am missing something, but I don't really know what.
Because the project makes the claim that it was to save cost. The reality is that most of the cost is in paying an electrician for the install, and since he did that part himself anyway he could have just went for an off-the-shelf certified charger.
Big distinction to make here.

It's not that I don't think islamophobia isn't real, I don't think islam"ophobia" is a problem. Every religion deserves to be criticized, especially when they have values that don't align with the free world.

I will sit here all night and talk about how the catholic church has a pedophilia and sexual abuse problem, and also sit here all night talking about the subjugation of women and jihadist ideas are rampant because of islam.

Can you see how your perspective is a little presumptuous? By calling it "islamophobia" you've skipped the part where we discuss if it's a problem or not - you've already assumed any dislike of islam is a bad thing.

Most people aren't going to DIY something like this. Also, most people think that the price of a product should only be based on the price of its components, and possibly willing to accept a mark up on labor. However, the companies making a thing, whatever that thing might be, also has to make money to be able to pay the people that work for the company, the utility bills, and the rent. There's also the fact that the companies making a thing don't get the retail price you pay. They sell it at the wholesale rate to the vendors, so there's even less margin than the retail price suggest for the makers.

Just some things to keep in mind

If this is their standard procedure surely it made its way into the flight plan they filed. A Lufthansa requirement for an ILS approach should've come as no surprise to anyone at SFO.

If the ILS was unavailable for some reason there should've been a relevant NOTAM, in which case the crew would've either diverted or not performed the flight.

And lastly, even among domestic airlines nighttime visual approaches are not always allowed by SOP. e.g.

And yet the technical people need accurate names to call things so they can communicate without ambiguity.

I think "charging station" is the least confusing term for the fixed infrastructure part. If regular people call those "chargers" in non-technical conversation, then I'm not going to lose sleep over it.
I have literally asked people "would you pay $5 for this?" they say yes, then I tell them to buy it and they say no.

You can only do so many compiler-y things in a dynamically typed language like Javascript. And even less of it within the context of a single file, unless you implement a bundler (web jargon equivalent of linker). Otherwise by the time the run-of-the-mill bundler is done connecting parts of your component tree into a single file, so much of the high-level information of the component is lost that you can't really do much analysis on it.

At least that were the reasons I saw when I was thinking about the same. If anyone has ideas around it, please get in touch.

I do something similar but with an Amazon Echo Dot with the microphone off instead of a phone. It shows up as an available Spotify Connect device on my computer, tablet, and phone.

It's also good for listening to radio station streams. I've got another Echo whose microphone is on. I can ask Alexa on that or in the Alexa app on my phone or tablet to e.g. "listen to KUOW FM on Dot".

My Denon A/V receiver predates voice control support (its from 2012 or so), but it does have a network connection with a few control options (TELNET, HTTP). I've got a program running on an RPi that can use the receiver's HTTP interface to get the current input/volume/mute settings, and to change inputs, set volume, and mute/unmute.

Apple's "Shortcuts" app on Mac/tablet/phone supports a "run script over SSH" action. I've used that to make a bunch of shortcuts: "Denon Dot", "Denon TV", "Denon Game" to select some sources; "Denon Status" to get the current settings (which the shortcut speaks); "Denon Mute" and "Denon Unmute" to mute/unmute; "Denon Up" and "Denon Down" to slightly adjust the volume; "Denon Set 30", "Denon Set 35", "Denon Set 40", ... to set specific volume levels.

Saying the name of a Shortcut to Siri invokes that Shortcut.

So putting it all together, A couple voice commands to Siri on any of my Apple devices will switch the receiver to the Dot and set the volume, so it is ready for streaming radio or for Spotify, and if it is radio I want a voice command to Alexa will start that.

This has covered pretty much all my "smart" A/V needs, so I can probably happily keep using my existing receiver for quite a while.

The peer pressures to have an iPhone within a lot of groups are very real and strong. Having a "Blue bubble" is shunned in many circles [1]. It's a sad reality.

GET A SLEEP STUDY DONE!

I waited way too long to do mine and learned so much afterwards.

In my case, while I don't have apnea (many MANY people do, and not just fat people!), I learned that I have a deviated septum that causes airflow problems primarily during sleep, especially in our dusty ass house. (I have since installed air purifiers.)

My daily sleep quality improved considerably after using breathe right strips, Flonase and melatonin, all at the direction of my ENT. I still have episodes of maintenance insomnia (waking up at night), but they've gone way down.

I also didn't know that taking melatonin 1.5-3hr before bed and Flonase 30m before falling asleep can greatly help induce sleep quickly. Melatonin is also non-habit-forming and is produced naturally by the body, so taking SMALL amounts of it daily is completely fine. (small = 1.5-3mg)

There's other stuff that can affect sleep quality for sure (staying in bed when you can't fall back asleep; inconsistent sleep/wake times; doing things other than sleeping or aggressive snuggling), but getting a sleep study done and ruling out physical reasons is so, so, so important.

GET A SLEEP STUDY DONE!

(Also, if you're struggling with insomnia, look into CBT-I. It's hard work, but your sleep will improve demonstrably if you stick to the program. But not before getting your sleep study done!)

I don't live in the US (in New Zealand), but this made me check my policies. I'm no longer a home owner but I checked my policy from a couple of years ago, and I checked the contents insurance I currently have (which has indemnity for the rented property as well).

An intentional or reckless act wouldn't be insured if it directly causes a loss, but anything else is. There's no exclusion for doing things that are illegal other than illegal substance manufacturing, and I'm pretty sure I didn't miss anything because the whole policy is 12 pages, including the cover and table of contents.

Electricity regulations wise, it's legal for me to do anything that plugs in to a socket. If I owned and occupied the property it's legal to do anything that doesn't require moving or adding a fixed cable to the consumer unit. Adding new fixed cable runs required a licensed electrician to sign them off before energising. It's illegal to do DIY electrical work on a property if it's let to anyone other than family, unless it's certified by a licensed electrician.

Even if copyright laws are not explicitly repealed, the logistics of enforcing them are becoming unsustainable. This is already largely the case today with the pirate bay and libgen still up and running after all these years, but I expect it is only going to get worse. Anyone can run pre-trained models and make them spit out all kinds of copyrighted data. Anyone can train new models given access to enough data and compute. I just don't see a realistic way to force the toothpaste back in the tube.

You're completely missing the point. No liberal is going to sit here and talk about how we are anticatholic for talking about sexual abuse in the catholic church, but they certainly will say "islamophobia" if we start criticizing islam because of jihadists, the subjugation of women, and the treatment of LGBTQ. Suddenly it's "not all muslims" and such...

Even if you accept that premise, why did this character snap at this moment? Usually people who engage in that sort of behavior do so as part of a pattern, sometimes as part of dealing with something that happened to them and other times because it is part of their personality.

Meanwhile this character, with whom we are intended by the author to empathize with and who otherwise is portrayed as a normal (though exceedingly neurotic) human being, briefly has the urge to murder.

It just kind of feels like it doesn't follow, is all. Anyone can have urges but I'm not quite buying this character having that urge without a little more explanation.

(and to be clear: I reject this premise, because without the work making it clear that this specific woman feels this specific way, it feels like the work suggests that we should just accept that any woman might feel this way without serious provocation or a serious backstory and I don't)
