I have a Google Pixel 4xl thats had its battery replaced 3 times because of their terrible tiny brittle battery connector. The last two times, I've done it myself with a $19 Amazon battery. I never reseal the phone properly, just closing the back onto the old sticky residue that's left from the original assembly years ago.

Yesterday I dropped the phone into a hot bowl of soup. I took it out, rinsed it under a faucet to get the soup off it, and dried it with a towel.

Good as new.
I love this way of thinking. Low tech, infallible.
Nix has a namespace problem.

Most package managers exist independently from the packages they manage. Nix integrates them directly into its monolithic source tree.

So when you ask nix to install a package, what version does it give you?

The original method is channels: each channel follows a branch of the NixOS/nixpkgs GitHub repo. Every package is given a global name in nixpkgs/pkgs/top-level/all-packages.nix

This is...a mess. Versions? They go in the name sometimes, like python2. Names aren't consistent everywhere, either. The name of a package in all-packages.nix might need to be different from the name in its own derivation source. Good luck finding it.

Not every package gets a global name, either. Some are moved into separate attributes sets. Some get both.

Figuring out what magic words need to go into your configuration.nix (or at the end of a command) is a lot more difficult than it should be. Even more difficult is figuring out what needs to go in a new package.

Flakes try to dodge this mess by moving it out of the global namespace, out of the nixpkgs source tree, and into the source of the thing you want packaged.

I'm not a huge fan.
Here is a tweet from one of the main ETF experts:

@EricBalchunas
"On TV right on talking about this.. and yes, I think someone prepped a planned tweet and put wrong date, bc the tweet would have made PERFECT sense tomorrow at this time. The language sounds legit SEC-ish IMO vs a crypto knucklehead pulling a prank but I guess we'll see.."

S. P. Somtow nailed this 43 years ago in _Mallworld_. It's completely confusing to me also.
Compunding a decrease works differently than an increase. If something gets 10% faster twice it actually got 19% faster. In other words, the runtime is 90% of 90%, i.e. 81%.
Instantly thought it looked like a red play date with a different gimmick. (No crank but scroll wheel and 360 cam)

The design is by Teenage Engineering but is not sold by them.
Google's primary revenue driver is search ads. I'm sure IAP fees and web advertising don't hurt either. If you don't do searches, browse the web or use apps, where does the revenue come from?

Even if Google builds something like this, gets market share and sells at a profit, it might still be a net loss for them because of all the advertising money and click tracking data they won't be getting.

Google definitely has the expertise to build this, but they also have an extremely risk-averse attitude resulting in layers upon layers of bureaucracy, and this product is literally cannibalizing their most important markets. I can't see this going over very well at all the internal reviews.

Apple was a lot leaner than Google when they build the iPhone (which was also cannibalizing one of their main products, the iPod), but they still had to make a completely independent team with no oversight except for Steve Jobs to get it right.

We also know how bad Google is at hardware. They seem to have gotten marginally better in recent years, but Pixels are still far from successful, even in countries where they are sold, which honestly isn't that many in the first place.

I'm very bearish on Google in this fight. Apple probably stands a much better chance, they've already proven they can cannibalize their own products, they need to do far less of that in the first place, as most of their revenue comes from hardware sales and subscriptions (which is perfect for something like this), they do have a lot of hardware expertise and they've already made major steps towards AR glasses, which might end up as a better form factor for such a device than a phone. Their pro-privacy attitude might be an impediment, this stuff works a lot better if you run it on a beefy GPU in the cloud instead of a tiny, battery-conserving chip in your phone, but I hope they find a good enough compromise.
In the would of assassinations like these I'd say there are only two countries on that list. Israel/US as one entity and then Saudi Arabia.
> Basically I’m optimizing for viral growth, otherwise the business probably isn’t worth it. I haven’t launched yet but

If you have not launched yet but are optimizing for facebook-scale, that's not the optimal approach.

I can't comment on your database experience since I don't know it, but the vast, vast majority of people underestimate by orders of magnitude what a database can handle.

If you're not a large public company we all know about (and you're not, if you haven't launched yet), you don't need all the horizontal scale you seem to be building.

I remember joining one company (still a startup but a large one about to IPO). My day#1 briefing was about how this one database was in urgent need of replacement with a dozen+ node cassandra cluster because it was about to exceed it's capacity any second now. That was to be my highest priority project.

I took some measurements on usage and capacity and put that project on the backburner. The db was nowhere near capacity on the small machine it was running on. Company grew a lot, did an IPO, grew some more. Years later I left. That db was still handling everything with plenty of headroom left to grow more.
If it's a cloud device, like most people here are speculating it is, then the hardware doesn't matter that much.

There are other worries, such as privacy and keeping the cloud alive, though, but the hardware doesn't seem to be the limiting factor here.
Smartphones ruined the web and are ruining life in general.
I was a student Unix systems administrator back then. We had ultrasparc workstations, with a SunPCi card. I believe a number of us hooked up a monitor to the VGA connector on it, and used x2vnc to have a continuous virtual screen.

I was specifically replying to the following part.

A paid actor may look similar to a victim, but not exactly. Their image will evoke a totally different emotion from the victim's friends and family.

In that specific case the digital recreation - if you can even call it that - was quite off and far from depicting what the real victim looked like. It would certainly have been possible to do an reenactment which more closely matched what the actual victim looked like. Therefore I think any argument along the lines that an exact digital recreation might evoke feelings that a reenactment could not does - at least in this specific case - not apply.

Otherwise I have really no opinion on the entire matter. Putting children into an oven is certainly in the range of things that you could find in horror movies. Context of course matters and also the presentation and intention and target audience, but I just do not know anything besides skimming three articles about this phenomenon to properly judge this.
I am a little confused; is NAND-to-tetris free? I thought you had to buy the course, or something like that.
It's fascinating to me that this process seems to rhyme with that of the path PHP took, with HHVM being built as a second implementation, proving that PHP could be much faster -- and the main project eventually adopting similar approaches. I wonder if that's always likely to happen when talking about languages as big as these are? Can a new implementation of it ever really compete?
Giving your credentials to an AI to buy stuff online by scraping a web interface is a perfectly sane and safe idea that won't have any unexpected consequences whatsoever.
> There could be a completely new browser next week that works with 99.9999% of web pages, thanks to web standards.

Don't you think you are slightly underestimating the complexity of a browser that works with 99.9999% of webpages?
In my opinion, only the scammers OR people who truly believed in the promise of crypto and still are delusional to think it will materialize some day. Either way, it is terrible. I can't believe that a digital currency that cannot be used by most people is worth $xx,0000. But may be I am dumb.
With github, which is now down, which loops us back to the original question. Your point?
Then what exactly is the non technical manager's added value?

He has no experience to lead the team in high pressure situations. Like production being down.

He can't truly have a first person understanding of the work of the people who he manages. He has to rely upon others to tell him who's good and who's bad. That sets up a pecking order.

He can't help or mentor engineers with design decisions, or provide a historical context.

He doesn't understand the technology so there's an immediate communication and knowledge barrier that has to be overcome between him and his directs.

He doesn't feel the pain of a bad decision, because he's not coding it, and he can't emphasize with them since he doesn't code.

He tends to push feature development without fixing technical debt. Again that's pain he personally doesn't feel.
I believe we're in a similar category. A telling sign of what category a company belongs to is based on what conferences and events they're sponsoring and attending. Snyk and the likes sell to the security teams with dev friendliness in mind. We're aiming to do the same here.
Dams are incredible for wet/dry seasons. They allow you to moderate the flow as you fill and release the revivor. It sounds like youre just describing incompetence.
We had problems with all Samsung appliances ever. The fridge leak was fixed by a longer defrost heat spreader. A different fridge has the icemaker freeze up requiring a heat gun session once a month. Knobs break off of stoves. Washing machine rusting in contact with cleaning chemicals. Etc. :-). Not my choice with the brand since they came with apartment or house we bought but definitely a good lesson.
I'm aware which is why I mentioned that.

The big issue is you can't be banned from newspapers, radio, and news channels. And there was still some question about "can you just announce this on the news or is that going to be unfair to people who don't own TV's". You can absolutely be banned from twitter.

There's also the standard of keeping records. The government is supposed to have immaculate records of these sorts of things with a whole shitload of legal nonsense involved in it. Twitter has complied with this under recent presidents but it's a big question of "do they need to?" and "what happens if they don't?".

For starters it like violates the FOIA, which is a serious thing.
ABCL runs on the JVM. It generates JVM byte code, which then can be JIT compiled by the JVM.

CLISP has a byte code machine, for which a JIT can be used.

There might be others.

Well on macOS you're free to use whatever. On iOS and iPadOS Apple demands apps to use the Safari engine (WebKit).

So they are a gatekeeper on iOS and iPadOS, but not on macOS.
TE did the hardware design, it's not a TE product.

It's like those old hard drives "designed by Porsche" etc.
It's not a terrible idea but it's difficult to make it work.

First, they have to agree to work together.

Then they have to decide which language to implement and write a spec. It must also support what browsers do in JS (DOM manipulation, APIs, etc.)

Finally they have to implement it in an interoperable way.

All of that costs money and what is the advantage over JS to justify those costs?
Yes. If in the space long enough, this is a mainstream indicator of institutional adoption, paired with the inst trading volumes already there.

Suggesting either could happen would get someone laughed out a room really not too long ago.

If you were around for $3k btc, those intervening years saw:

* first national current adoption (ES)

* futures contracts from CME

* institutional trading volumes CEXs and DeFi

* first rounds of crypto being able to pull FAANG-types for jobs

* countries approving it for contracts (Argentina)

* looks like an imminent ETF

* funding UKR war efforts faster than US govt could manage - $50m overnight iirc

* arms deals via aforementioned funding

A lot has happened! Bodes well
From this forum we shall organize the great retaking of “Web3” for the 3D paradigm it was always meant to be. It’s in the name!!

It’s sad that blockchain went the way it did, because it’s probably a great technology when you don’t expect it to revolutionize the entire internet.
It’s very important because if you don’t like the standard finance system and want to use an alternate one that isn’t corrupted by greed and incumbents, the best way to do that is… to buy it through the current financial system?

It gives credibility to the thing that explicitly does not want credibility. Or at least didn’t. Maybe it does now. I don’t know.
3% gain on BTC is really not that much for crypto, it's the size of the movement within a given timeframe that makes it impressive (e.g. it was within a minute or two). It would have been very easy to take out a leveraged long position in defi & profit off this.
Or Worse, coinbase decided you are no longer worth their time. Wait, I thought this was supposed to be decentralized.
Takes like these are so moronic it hurts. I just paid an artist across the globe for some icons; the transaction took seconds to resolve and cost me cents to send via SOL. The closest I've come to that is Canada's eTransfer system, but it only works in Canada.

There wasn't any new evidence, though, and the circumstances hadn't changed, other than the composition of the Supreme Court.

Their argument was not that circumstances had changed, but that the the case was decided wrong to begin with, comparing Roe v. Wade to the case Plessy v. Ferguson, famous for deciding that laws enforcing racial segregation did not violate the U.S. Constitution so long as each race was given equal quality facilities ("separate but equal").
I found this site few years back which was a real simple device for this task.

The price moved ~3% as a result of the tweet.

There have been many flash crashes in traditional markets bigger than that, triggered by similarly stupid events.
>Imagine you knew every on-the-clock interaction you had with a colleague was being stored away someplace

Storing something for two hours is still storing it. The point was why is it bad if it is listen to for X minutes in a month, but okay if it is listen to for X minutes today? I can see no reason at all why two hours is okay if five isn't. I could understand if the argument was that nothing should be stored at all.

Another one is nginx. It seems like any time I google something http-related the answer is always "nginx".
Conversely, traditional finance making products based on an asset which some of the most radical anarchocapitalists hold market-moving amounts of, bodes well.

I was confused and skeptical until I saw Teenage Engineering involvement. They are an all star company that has never come even close to half-assing a product. Their gear and design chops are absolutely ace.
Do we have the technology to observe such elements if they could even possibly exist? I'd guess they'd be the sort of ephemera that would take a gazillion eV to form, then would decay a femtosecond later.[0] If so, creating an atom in the lab may be outside our engineering skills today.

The expectation is that the ETF is going to be approved very soon, so it's priced in.
This is icing on the cake of this manipulated attempt to restart the crypto craze. These morons are so greedy that they undermine themselves.
Two things in the keynote that seem faked:

1. at 13:13 there's a demo ordering a ride 'to home', then the user requests a car change to fit six people, and what's shown as a seamless switch from UberX to UberXL also updates the destination from the home address to LAX airport.

2. at 14:05 the device confirms and recites a pizza order, but the screen displays "chesse" with a typo while the voice reads out "cheese", so either the audio or the visuals is faked. My guess is that all of the on-device graphics were hand-written and hand-animated which would explain both mistakes.

I stopped watching at that point. Am sort of sad to see Teenage Engineering associated with a product that seems so sloppy and/or shady.
Damn. Too late to edit this comment.

The MAX 8 had the crashes due to MCAS problems. The underlying MCAS issue affected all 737 MAX variants.
nope. this is 100% a hack. the sec would not make such a post using that picture. why would there be a picture of Gensler? that makes no sense. it would be a press release of some sort, maybe followed by a tweet.

yup

Of course, this is not a good example of good, high-performance code, only an answer to the specific question... the questioner certainly also knows MyPy.
Does this thing make calls? I saw "SIM slot" on the landing page but that could be for mobile data only.
Not sure, these optimizations multiply in power when used together. Propagate constants and fold constants, after that you can remove things like "if 0 > 0", both the conditional check and the whole block below it, and so on.
I'm pretty sure the rightsholder, Filmrise, makes them all available for free.

It's also cool to see the rightsholder (Cineflix?) of Mayday/Air Crash Investigation put everything up on YouTube for free as well. (https://www.youtube.com/@MaydayAirDisaster)
That's why there is an option of a no investigation settlement. But if that were the only option, postmasters who felt that it didn't compensate them adequately would have reason to complain.
There can be a lot of integration pain when implementing event sourcing and materialized views by combining individual tools together. However, these are all integrated in Rama, so there's nothing you have to glue yourself as a developer. For example, using the Clojure API here's how you declare a depot (an event log):

(declare-depot setup *my-events (hash-by :user-id))

That's it, and you can make as many of those as you want. And here's how a topology (a streaming computation that materializes indexes based on depots) subscribes to that depot:

(source> my-events :> *data)

If you want to subscribe to more depots in the topology, then it's just another source> call.

That these are integrated and colocated also means the performance is excellent.
They have not been sufficiently trained to man and maintain modern NATO equipment built for a different purpose: combined arms operations. Old Leopard 1 tanks would have been a better choice than Leopard 2.

This is a war that could be won with lots of artillery shells, combined with targeting computers and drone surveillance, highly mobile artillery.
The device offers some nice privacy friendly hardware UI, like a push to talk button or a swivel camera.

Also, being an alternative to the smartphone seems sort of a point of this device.
There may be a problem with this outlook: bio-robots are able to self-replicate.
The link seems fairly clear to me - One explanation given is that python3 represents all integers in a "long" type, whereas python2 defaulted to small ints. This gave (gives?) python2 an advantage on tasks involving manipulating lots of small integers. Most real-world python code isn't like this, though.

Interestingly they singled out pyaes as one of the worst offenders. I've also written a pure-python AES implementation, one that deliberately takes advantage of the "long" integer representation, and it beats pyaes by about 2000%.
This is what it says when I click on it.

Blackrock is huge. This is a rounding error to it. The people who got rugged were retail who bought into the hype since October.
An iphone seperated from the mac business would either need to run it's own icloud that is open to other companies (e.g. mac if it still wants to sync with mac) or it needs to use 3rd party integrations (e.g. icloud if it's its own company or still part of mac). In one case iphone is making more money and is more open in the other it's spending more money and is more open (which is which; who knows) in either case mac and iphones incentives are no longer aligned on keeping a closed icloud and one (or both) of the products would likely become more open which is good for customers and the whole point of anti-trust.

The sucess of iPhone/mac/icloud doesn't really factor into it (some of them will shrink and some will do better as they're not subsidizing other parts of Apple or can canibalize other parts of Apple's market). You'd be right in asserting the success of Apple is a factor, as those who are arguing for such a seperation would say, it's making outsized profits by not competing fairly in several of the markets it's in.
Visualising Filesystems (2018)
With `reload(module)` you don't even have to restart the server if you structure it properly.

Think server.py and server_handlers.py, where server.py contains logic to detect a modification of server_handlers.py (like via inotify) and the base handlers which then call the "modifiable" handlers in server_handlers.py.

This is not limited to servers (anything that loops or reacts to events) and can be nested multiple levels deep and is among the top 3 reasons of why i use Python.

Reloading is instantaneous and can gracefully handle errors in the file (just print an err messge or stack trace and keep running the old code)
