As an electronic design engineer, it just feels to me like these kind of things aren't really huge problems day-to-day...

In terms of decoupling designs etc., the reason nobody has come up with a better solution is firstly that it doesn't actually take up enough time in the scheme of things to bother, and secondly that you often have to deviate. For variable regulators for example, the output capacitor (and inductor if it's not included in the device) are chosen based on output voltage, the switching frequency you choose, and sometimes other variables. You often want to deviate from the recommended circuit in the application notes for various reasons.

I'd think of a circuit board production as more like putting together a magazine than working on a software codebase, where you'd have a bunch of people working on overlapping parts of the code.

I mean even for a lot of boards we do (even quite complex ones) we'll just have one design engineer and one layout engineer, but for things where multiple people work on the schematic we just have people work on their own sheets and then somebody brings them together into the final design - kind of like where you might have an overall designer/editor that pulls a magazine together but individual people having put together individual articles. But it's pretty common that it would still be mostly laid out by a single engineer unless you're doing something extremely complex...
> I want to be in a park at night and see fiery snakes climbing all the trees.

Why the fuck do you want that? Corporate graffiti on nature?

I don't mind fairy lights on a tree in some situations. I like tree houses. I like a tree swing. Sometimes real graffiti. Because someone built something, it has value.

Some random AI shoves random snakes on trees? Why not sit at home and watch TV on your couch if you don't like trees.

An AR reality everyone shares at once with snakes in trees. Like a concert or a light show by an artist. Yep, but it will cost $ to visit. And it'll cost millions to create.

AVP is AR, a strange comment.

After also running into issues with thumb-key (primarily: the quite primitive gesture recognition) I ended up starting a rewrite of my own.[0] It's still very far from the polish of MessagEase or even thumb-key, but it is getting to the point where I can mostly daily-drive it, and it does already support U and O gestures.

Both terms have been in use for at least 50 years. It is a complex topic so no matter which two word moniker you coin to represent it, you can always poke a hole in it.

The people who think "climate change" is a fig leaf to cover up the fact that the globe didn't warm monotonically are simply ignorant. The models have always shown that some places will get drier, some will get wetter, some places cooler.

One of the things deniers always cherry pick is when some study mentions higher snowfall or rainfall in some particular region of the world. Odd that they believe the scientist when when they thing the datum supports their claim, but then will dismiss the same person who wrote the paper they cited as being in the pocket of George Soros or someone when the researcher doesn't support their preferred conclusion.

Lineage is more about convenience and longevity rather than security and privacy. As another commenter said, Graphene is most suitable for this task if it's a major concern.

Take a random device like Google Pixel [1] it runs on a 4.4 kernel, long outdated and no longer maintained by Google. You can explore the code [2] however you are not going to be getting critical security updates (such as those issued by Qualcommm or any closed source blobs/firmware etc, and those released as per the pixel/android security bulletins).

Lineage is more about 'hacking' a kernel and making it work with the latest AOSP when the official software support ends. It's more vulnerable to exploits than a continuously supported device (although even devices that are 'in support' by the OEMs can often be depressingly behind things like patches etc).

Google is trying to fix this within the ecosystem (GKI, Apex etc) but at least as far as custom ROMs go...yeah, don't store state secrets on such a device ;)

After lowballing myself and ending up working for some time for a lot less than what a friend of mine got for exactly the same position many moons ago, I started to just not give my number.

I’d typically explain in a friendly, non-threatening way how I’m sure they have a pay scale and pay ranges for particular positions, so why don’t we start with where they see me.

They’d usually push on a bit, and I’d stay friendly but resolute. You can always spin it in a way that “I really like what I’ve seen so far, so it’s not about the numbers. I’m flexible, I wouldn’t want you to pass on me just because of some random number I might say.”

For me this has worked wonders. Every single time I would’ve low balled myself. Highly recommended.

It’s a stupid game. You can totally opt to just not play it.
Thanks!

Since it's running in an emulator, I'm less concerned about bootloader and adb. More concerned about keyloggers, malware, etc.
I want to, but I cannot.

Most of the banking or payment applications baulk at getting a whiff of Lineage. You are then forced to play a cat and mouse game which is quite stressful. It is sad that ROM customisation (and rooting) is stigmatised in the Android world.

This comment almost reads like from another dimension. I made the choice to stick to web too.

But everywhere I look, IOS, mac, android, windows on the phone, tablet, tv, cars its all apps. Be it under the guise of security, features or whatever, all of the UI is driven from apps. Some do a better job than others, but sucky or not you're forced to go the app route.

I've worked at a VC, and consider that it is a low margin business until/unless you returns significantly above your targets. You get a management fee, which is a low yearly percentage of the invested amounts, and then you get carry - a proportion of the returns above a set target for the fund as a whole.

But carry doesn't kick in until you start exiting - for a typical VC fund it takes many years. (I left a year ago, and we were 6 years in when I left; I retained a portion of my carry rights, but still won't know for a couple more years how much I get if I get anything at all)

And surviving on the management fees after the initial phace of placing the investment requires being lean and not putting effort into your low performers.

Meanwhile while a 1.5x is better than nothing, a company that sells at 1.5x is likely to be near 0x for you, because odds are high that to get there there'll be one or more funding events along the way to help that happen at/triggering terms that will dilute you massively. And odds of failure remains high.

And you need the 10x or 100x's, but the low ones means little - most successful funds pay back the entire initial investment from just a couple of investments, and make their return on a couple more. Quite often a single "fund returner" carries the entire fund.

A small recovery here and there at makes almost no difference.

So even a 1% chance of salvaging a "moonshot" is better - most cases where you get back less than 1x is going to be a rounding error of your funds overall performance.

A VC is not where to get capital of you want to pull back and pivot when things get tough.

(And yes, you should keep that in mind if taking a job at a VC backed company as well, and it's part of why stock/options should be on top of your normal salary, not compensating for a low one, unless you get founder-level stock amounts, and even then, think it through; I once almost torpedoed a VC deal as a founder because I demanded a commitment to raising salary levels after the next raise, and I don't regret it for a moment because life would have sucked without it)

1. Thumb-key intentionally doesn't support gestures other than basic taps and swipes. MessagEase uses these quite heavily for "borrowing" keys from other layers without having to switch to them.

2. Thumb-key bakes a lot of decisions into the layout. If you're a pure english-speaker then you tend to have a decent variety of layouts available, but as a swede, having to choose between having Å/Ä/Ö available, having convenient access to special symbols, or having convenient access to numbers is a bit of a non-starter, especially when there is no actual conflict in the layout.
As always I will point out that The Old Reader is basically a carbon copy of Google Reader. It works, plenty of blogs have RSS feeds still (I just add more or less every interesting blog I see linked here in there), so you can get back if you want to.

This and PixelExperience have kept my devices ahead of even new OEM devices.
Apple has claimed to be at the forefront of design for decades,but their UIs look just as garbage as many others at elderly font sizes.

It would actually be nice if they shipped a small phone to get regular developers to care about constrained layouts, and then shipped a Pro Max Tab whatever that was the same proportions, but with everything scaled up.
I'm interested in the performance difference between these, and difference in RAM usage.

> Traditional Java architecture as well as SpringBoot were designed to run monolithic applications very well. With the advancement in cloud-based virtualization techniques, there was a need for a Java runtime that's not only lightweight and free of frills and embellishments but also fast and resource-efficient.

This article paints spring boot as not working well in containers or for micro services. I've used it for both, and it works great, plus the resource usage is minimal. Spring boot can be extremely efficient with ZGC and something like 1GB of RAM, 2-4 vCPU.

No, that’s just another lie you’ve been made to believe. Corporations exist to serve the public good. The freedom they have been granted by the laws passed by nations is to facilitate that end. All it takes to change the rights of corporations is a change in law (not a Constitutional change as it would to change the rights of people).

I don't know about the windows side of things, but on Mac I imagine there's just one fingerprint API to support, same with face id. Yubikeys either work or get their drivers from the cloud like most other devices nowadays. I also dont know much about what android has, but I would be suprised to learn if there wasn't native support for the various standards that are in place today, even if manufacturers aren't using it.
0. We need this done yesterday.

1. Moving targets. As the code becomes usable it becomes clear what is really needed doing and how it should be done. And it's certainly not what was defined at the start of the project.

2. So the prototype/PoC works, thank you! - "job done" - more than good enough. No time to go refactor for the many little "todos" in the code that say " this code needs to be revisited because ..." as the next project "needed yesterday" is already here...

I’ve read through them all, there are some directed at zionism (which is an ideology) some at the state of Israel or the Israel military, none at Jewish people in general or the Jewish ethnicity. There were two which can be considered trollish (one of which was flagged; and to be frank, not much more trollish as posts by my parent) but nothing even remotely hateful other then towards an ideology or a particular government. Nothing that warrants being called “a demonising antisemite” by my parent.

I guess so. It's hard for me to think of anyone prior to about the mid 1800s as a scientist, but sure, he qualifies by the standards of the day.

I still don't understand why people view Linnaeus' classification as scientific though. I guess maybe because it functioned as a hypothesis of common descent later on?
Not necessarily. Big codebase in something like C, written in a rush, pretty much is guaranteed to have such things. We still are finding high-grade security issues in glibc (if you want some library to be clean, it's the one practically everybody is using), and it has been around for 37 years. v0.1 prototype is often plagued with various issues and often doesn't have best performance. You either spend years on polishing it and never release, of you start with v0.1 and fix the issues. Or, having fired all the dev team, don't fix the issues.

In Skyrim they didn't send Alduin into the end of time, just into the future (also there is going to be an Elder Scrolls VI so V can't be the end of time, but will likely be the end of the fifth era). It was one of the reasons that the Felldir the Old was not onboard with the plan to use the Elder Scroll on Alduin. They didn't know how far into the future he would be sent. Most people on Nirn at the time of Skyrim didn't believe that dragons were real, much less Alduin who signals the end times. The Dragonborn ultimately ends up defeating Alduin, but because Alduin is immortal (in a way that the other dragons are not) he will return at a time deemed by his father Akatosh and actually destroy all of existence in that universe.

Going back to your original point it's a little different than sending him to the end of the universe, they sent him forward in time, but they actually had no idea how far or where there were sending him.
If you’re doing 2e8 m/s, your ship is long and thin with a 1m3 nose cone, and space has 100 baseballs per m3 then you’re being hit by 2e10 baseballs a second. How do I get an idea for what 20 billion baseballs (2TJ) feels like?

Apparently bullets are about an order of magnitude more energetic than baseballs (800J vs 80J) so I guess I could try to build my intuition based on being shot ~2 billion times a second instead. A kiloton of TNT is 4GJ, so it’s also like a 500 kiloton bomb going off every second.

Dropping 5e5kg of rock into the worlds biggest dumpster truck at 10m/s yields 25MJ of chaos so it’s also like a parking lot of 80,000 of those being filled with a continuous stream of rubble. That’s probably the best analogy given that we’re talking about machinery — your spaceship needs to have the build resilience of tens of thousands of dumpster trucks but condensed into the cross sectional area of a dinner table.

I think being any age demographic that grew up before these apps came to rise you can remind yourself that you don't need to have them. I do remember a time when Facebook was purely about your closest friends and family, not articles, not random videos from across the world, not influencers, but people that were actually close to you.

I didn't need to send a text message any longer, I could send an instant message or a post to a group of friends and family. Social media really hasn't got much better for my quality of life than that. It's now filled with crap, random videos, random influencers, eat this, don't eat that, you're not motivated because of x, read this/read that.

Having said that, for me it's more about attention span, these social media apps have grabbed way too much of my attention and continue to find ways to keep me opening my phone.

I can clearly see that these apps are trying to keep me looking at content and that's it, they aren't really adding value to my life, they're trying to make it my life.
