I mean, you can treat ChatGPT's answer as a new hypothesis for which you now might have additional tools available to verify.

I.e. before, you had to Google "who is this quote from" which didn't give any results, but now you can do more narrowed queries to test the hypothesis that it's from Voltaire - e.g. seach for Voltaire quote collections and see if its in there, etc.
This is a great landing page IMHO. The first item is not some fancy graphic, but a short paragraph explaining exactly what it is. I had a vague idea about rclone already, but it took about 5 seconds of reading to get a good understanding about its capabilities and how it could help me. A much better sales pitch than having to fight through 'Get started' or Github links to find basic info.
> lastly, if there were no fees or hurdles or restrictions for alternate app stores then every single large company (not just gatekeepers) would open one so they could plaster their ads, make their own profit, drive users to their own stuff, and basically capture them in their fiefdom. and the DMA makes no provision as to how alternate markets need to behave.

So you mean competition? Isn’t that the whole point of the DMA?
These paths we take in life for the love or debugging our own code. I mean, I've been building websites with a phenomenally feature-rich system I started rolling myself around 2002 and have rewritten twice since then.(including a blogging module, shopping module, custom form+validation language, themes, and lots of stuff you actually can't get from WordPress like hierarchical inline editing for downstream users). I can build a new desktop+mobile site for a business with it in a couple hours. But no one else has ever even seen the code,
let alone used it. The entire rationale for bugfixing and using it again every time has been that I don't want to be at the mercy of WP or anything else.

[mine is just in PHP and TS, though. OP's choice to do it in c++ is on an entirely different level; I'm good at flipping burgers, that person is a master chef].
Is that going to be open source? Would love to contribute, was thinking myself that this is a niche that desperately needs to be filled.
Actually helping people who have become homeless is like two steps away from what it should be, of course. One step in the right directly would be more homelessness prevention (there's some, but not nearly enough). Two steps would be systemic changes so housing was more easily affordable.

That said, I had dinner tonight with a formerly unhoused person here in SF, who is now living her life successfully because of that help, has an apartment, is paying bills, etc.

So while you think it fails to achieve anything of note, I think the problem would be a heck of a lot worse without it.

It's not about static vs dynamic linking at all. It's about bundling dependencies or not.

And yes, you totally can do it. Most Linux software just doesn't bother because - while you can do it, in a lot of languages (C, Python, etc.) it's quite a pain to do. Especially if you have lots of dependencies.

It's much easier to bundle dependencies in languages that statically link by default (Go, Rust) because of course statically linking implicitly bundles them.

That's exactly what aiauthoritydev intended: "It's going to happen, so you might as well make it easier for it to happen".

And how Americans interpret the meaning.
Now that's interesting.

Normally, the entire point of having a SIM in the first place is to have a secure storage element for the crypto keys authenticating the subscriber to the network... so similar to a TPM, it doesn't make sense for anyone to be able to extract the private key material, while it does make sense to be able to import new key material while at the same time only allowing authorized parties to do so - hence the entire dance with eSIM provisioning and multiple layers of cryptography involved.

But what's described in the article, at least to me, is that the source eSIM only creates some sort of token that a backend in the carrier then uses to provision a new set of keys for the destination device - so there will at least be some sort of record of such a change, and hopefully a way to prevent eSIM transfers... because otherwise this will be a pretty nasty attack vector, all you'd need to take over someone's phone number is to get their phone unlocked in your hands.

The real real. Being a security expert is dangerous. If you work for a company as the chief of security you're almost assured to be either fired for failing to stop a hacker, or put in jail for failing to disclose that you failed to stop a hacker.

Understanding the risks when developing code is good, but if you let on that you know how to do something as simple as phishing for the red team you run the risk of being fired.

I was working for a company from start up (I was 4th dev hired). I worked for them for 8 years, and the founders and I had eaten lunch together almost every day. I had the keys to every door. The CTO asked me to do a fake attack. I did a totally external (using only linked-in learned stuff) tiny phishing, and collected a pile of passwords. I got in trouble from the CEO, and HR got involved. I mean I had write access to the DB, I could have changed every password. I had held the CEO's 1 week old kid. I loved the company and mission. Still there was an issue of trust.

The CTO said sorry to me, but I wouldn't repeat the exercise. Being security is dangerous.

That depends on the service provided. In a alot of cases it is good value. That is why companies sell their software via steam and are fine with the App Store. The thing is: you don't have to use steam if it is not a good value for you. But you have to use the App Store with its far-reaching rules. Especially the ability sell your app to iOS users alltogether.
You missed the most likely hypothesis: you hallucinated the quote, and ChatGPT hallucinated the attribution.

Withings watches offer a similar battery life, it really depends on how much the watch vibrates when notifications are routed to the watch.

I love my Withings. Given what I've read about the Fossil application experience, I assume Withings is better in that regard too.
Are there any decent hybrid smart watch alternatives? With that mean I mean having phone connectivity and alarms but still an analog watch.

My Fossil Commuter is analog. But can configure notifications from the phone, and configure for each app where the hands point when it vibrates.

Perfect for being able to have the phone on silent and just wear a regular watch. I don't want to read messages on my watch. I just want it to tell me when I'm getting a phone call because my phone is entirely silent.

The battery also lasts for a year like a regular watch.

This article is a bit overblown. I was initially looking forward to a juicy article about the UI inconsistencies...probably should be flagged.

Context: I manage Windows 11 laptops for my family...5 machines.

Windows 11 has its issues but this is not it. Create a Microsoft Account, a dummy one, and use the store to disable S-mode. Remove the MS Account and done. It would of been a lot easier and take less time than writing that blog post.

Your real mistake is not installing Windows 11 Pro. Which you can get for $24 from stacksocial. [1] With PowerShell and Group Policy Editor you can clean up a lot of the stuff quickly. It's all well documented on various websites with a quick google search. Treat configuring Windows just like you would configuring your favorite Linux distro...which you are advocating for:

Absolutely agree. I work on a cra-based SPA at work which might have 100s of issues, but React for sure isn't one of them. Packages exporting made-up types are. JavaScript's goofy transition to ESM is. Babel might be. In a world where a new JS framework boasts about being the future of webdev every other day, React hasn't shipped a single update in 1+ years now, and has generally been super cautious to maintaining backwards compatibility and a super easy API. The only questionable move has been the unnecessary push to server components, but imho that's more of a political problem, since vercel has eaten up the react team and has this weird habit of trying to sell terrible architectural decisions to its users.
Funny how phrasing can work towards persuasion. The post had me feeling pretty damn anti-DEI as I read it -- right until it dropped the n-word in the last para. That made me realise DEI policies had ostensibly fired a person who clearly shouldn't be working in a multinational company.

In the past few years it has been a leech of brain power that's optimized itself into producing nothing of value except demos that get abandoned immediately. From what I read, they seem to have managers and executives with bad incentives and too much power. So it seems that it doesn't really matter how competent the engineer is, their work goes into numerous black holes in the end.
Newer devices take this into account; they may produce vintage sound, but they contain modern circuitry that runs at 1.8 to 3.3 volts and employ more efficient switching regulators. In some devices a fully recharged NiMH battery might be reported as not 100%, but aside that, the device will work, probably even longer than with alkalines due to the cells higher current and the different discharge curves.
And... indeed they are. But the diameters of each of the other planets combined are less than the average distance between the Earth and the Moon:

Average distance from Earth to the Moon:

Approximately 384,400 kilometers.

Diameters of the other planets:

Mercury: 4,880 kilometers

Venus: 12,104 kilometers

Mars: 6,779 kilometers

Jupiter: 139,820 kilometers

Saturn: 116,460 kilometers

Uranus: 50,724 kilometers

Neptune: 49,244 kilometers

For a total of 380,011 km, so 4,000 km to spare!

Decades ago two mathematicians argued about the area of the mandelbrot set. Both argued an asymtoically approaching different numbers. They started a distributed project to calculate the area.

I donated time on PA-risc workstations to the effort and was surprised to hear that the 2 machines contributed more to the final answer then 100s of other contributors. Something about how HP's compiler/chip preserved more accurate in the intermediate results than others. That surprised me since AFAIK the PA-risc is just a normal 64 bit floating point unit, which doesn't every have more precision for intermediate results. I believe PCs at the time often used the x86, which has 80 bits of precision for the intermediate results.

I believe the project was a success, but I don't remember the conclusion.

Ubuntu comes out unbaked for many years. So many bugs on the surface and no one cares. Why? Because no bonus or career advancement for bugfix.

I know it sounds like hogwash. I'm not trying to make a case for it scientifically. But viscerally it seems plausible, given that we don't know how our "consciousness" interacts with these many-worlds. As a mental exercise, imagine you died and your consciousness carried on in another branch of the multiverse. How might you subjectively experience merging those branches? Could it be that waking up from a violent dream of one world and finding your current consciousness in a different one is how we experience a flattened version of the tree of possible outcomes?

I would not be so quick to say, with such certainty, that I know to what degree any organism can experience the division of universes.

I believe I've died many times in many timelines and wake up each day in one I'm still alive in... sometimes with fading memories of the one I just left. (Obviously, there's no way to prove or disprove this, so I normally don't trouble to tell people; they'll either find it out for themselves or I'm wrong, just a broken set of neurons seeking some higher order in its own chaos).
I think gravity would turn the whole earth into a sea of lava, or worse!

You're right. It's incomprehensible. In such a situation I can recommend resolving the impasse by broadening what you consider to be the possibly solution space. More specifically, consider the possibility that what you think is happening is not an accurate reflection of what is actually happening.

What's unfriendly / unfamiliar about Linux? There's icons on your desktop, and you click on them to launch applications - exactly the same as on Windows. The browser works the same, and LibreOffice isn't terribly different from the old Office UI.

All my computers run Windows, but I've never had any issues switching over to use my husband's Linux gaming system on the TV - I click on the big "Steam" icon and then launch the games same as I do on Windows.

I get how a power-user like myself might struggle to switch (if anything goes wrong with the Linux box, it will be dear husband who has to deal with it!), but what's wrong with Linux for a super-casual user who basically just needs a browser?
Have a look at Withings. My HR Sport watch lasts just over a month on a single charge. I'm also satisfied with the application experience on Android.

> only one of them gives Apple a cut of $6.2M. Every other possible way gives Apple a lot less.

I'll assume good faith and assume that's not a lie, just a misunderstanding. The correct understanding is that the $.50 is a flat fee per install, and Apple's share increases as the price decreases.

If you sell the app for $.55, Apple gets all ten mil. If you sell the app for less, you owe Apple even more than users paid.

The headline is true for the 99% of apps that cost a dollar or less. If they succeed and make ten mil, Apple takes at least 62%.
I recently was looking at this for my partner. The best two options I've seen so far is the Withings ScanWatch (actually the ScanWatch 2 I think was recently released) and the Garmin Vivomove Trend. I don't have direct experience with them but from my research they seem decent. Of course they have limits compared to a full smartwatch.
I mean, they say that, but if I have incriminating messages I’m fairly certain I’m better off deleting them and being dinged for obstruction of justice (assuming the main charge doesn’t stick).
It's strange, because many, many times I've heard newcomers say that the Haskell community is the most friendly and welcoming that they have interacted with. By this point I don't have any better hypothesis than that different people prefer different sorts of community. I also think it's unfortunate if someone stops using a language they love because of the community. Ideally a programming language would have multiple communities so everyone can find one that works for them. Perhaps niche language are too niche for that possibility, though.
I use rclone on vm instances to sync files across gdrive, google photos , one drive , s3 and gcp object storage .

Running migrations on the server side is faster and more reliable. I can monitor transforms and transfers in tmux and then run quality checks when it’s complete

And having a vm lets me filter and transform the data during the migration. Eg pruning files , pruning git repos, compressing images .

Neither would I. I never said I would tolerate cruelty from my own people either.

Neither did I say that I hate the British people. But if someone from the country goes around saying that the Raj was a favor to Indians, I wouldn't like this person either. I would think they are an idiot.

As for Mr. Mountbatten I am not sure what sort of a person would "revere" this man. He probably wasn't a bad person but he wasn't great enough to be revered either. Just some bureaucrat in the right place at the right time.

I asked my local waste disposal company why they don't buy a plasma gasification system and they told me that the plants require so much trash as fuel that to keep them fed they'd have to haul trash from three states. It wasn't affordable to buy one just for local operation. Here's the history of attempts and current projects:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plasma_gasification_commercial...

These are definitely large scale, large area systems and there have been some engineering problems. A few seem to be operating successfully. Even if the net energy production is zero that's better than it being negative. Financing has been a problem also. It still produces CO2 also, so there is that to consider. It greatly reduces hazards in the waste stream though, so it seems better than a landfill. I'm not sure it would be a good idea to turn the glass plus heavy metals that is produced into building or road materials.
The biggest thing is the ISP is making money the customer isn't hurting for. So their total profits are higher, and they might even be able to raise your rates with some nonsense junk fees, but because the government is footing part of the bill, you don't care as much/tolerate it.

The ACP has the same problem our healthcare often does: Rather than forcing corporations not to fleece people, the government foots the bill and gets fleeced itself instead.

The US government seems unwilling or unable to just put their foot down and say "you're charging too much, and we're putting a stop to that".
