Those features describe the average Android phone on the market until the mid-2010s. If there was popular demand, you’d expect the models which continued to have things like headphone jacks to sell well enough that someone would keep making them, but that just hasn’t been the case.

This suggests that however genuine the desire is, it’s just not widely shared enough to actually constitute a viable market – somewhere below the level of, say, manual transmissions on cars.

I have bought maybe ten usb-to-3.5mm adapters in recent years. I keep giving them away. Last time I went on a work trip (military) I gave away two sets of cheap wired headphones+adapters to kids whose bluetooth headsets had stopped working during long plane/bus rides. (19yo = kid)

I'm not kidding when I say I recently saw someone on a plane using a wireless charging station. They had wrapped tape around the phone to hold it on the charger. Progress!
If we are entertaining each others with stories I can tell you about the pains of untangling wired headphones or the fact that all my headphones failed due to a "contact" issue the jack developed. Or the number of times my headphones got yanked because I was walking with them on and the cables got entangled in something.

Or how with wired headphones one needs to remove to be able to step away from the computer, while with a wireless one I can keep listening anywhere around my home.
That has been attempted in the same location in Vestmanna in the Faroe Islands. From what I've been told it pulled itself loose immediately, and the anchoring was pretty significant. This kite swims in a figure 8, so I guess that doesn't pull as much on the anchor.
Another one is misclassifying non exempt employees as exempt, and not paying them for more than 40 hours per week. Big in immigrant circles where one or two people will operate a 24/7 or near 24/7 business and be called “managers” when they have no management autonomy.

A push button toggle stays clicked in, or better yet clicked in and illuminated, to indicate that it's on.

a traditional 2 way toggle exposes the state that its' in by the position of the knob relative to center.

I mean anyone can flip states around behind the scenes, but if we're talking about a switch/wires/battery/light it all works out as supposed. Let's follow that example.
Usually people are happy to be independent contractors because of the autonomy it brings.

The issue with misclassification is that a number of jobs don't actually have the level of autonomy needed to be legally classified as an independent contractor, and yet the company classifies them as one anyway to skimp out on benefits.

Thanks for the nod to the authentik documentation!

I think 30 would be _somewhat_ on the young side these days? Most people I know with kids had them mid to late 30s.

Squaring the Go Context API and Program Scopes
The Context API in Go has a fair bit of subtlety, yet it is an extensible and robust API capable of enabling correct distributed system design and making concurrency appear synchronous.

In this article, I analyze how the API's documentation has (regrettably) allowed for confusion to arise about where the API should and shouldn't be used, particularly when it comes to scopes in a program. To do this, we visit the historical and ancillary texts and explore some of the logical implications of various forms of use of the API as well as considerations of the language ecosystem and what requirements the API was trying to address.

What is more likely: that millions of people spend money on something they use constantly without caring whether it’s actually good, or that your emotional attachment to Android has caused you not to reconsider whether your tastes are in fact universally shared?

Any time you see billions of dollars changing hands for years in a competitive market but don’t understand why, the answer is always to learn more about it.

Docker represents a core dependency on someone else's business decisions, technical choices, service uptime and extremely slow build tools.

For some set of reasonable values, these trade-offs are not always worth the benefits.

As one example, we run bare Linux across a collection of 4x on-prem machines for an extremely small business and it works great for us.
Plenty of jobs will pay you the state/federal minimum wage on a 1099. And if that is the case you aren't a contractor because a real contractor knows there is running costs to dba that aren't factored into those low pay rates. And as labor court has determined repeatedly, if you can't choose pay, hours, or location you aren't a contractor.

I recommend learning about semiconductor fabrication because it's fascinating. I spent five years as a process engineer in a semiconductor plant, and I saw some really cool technology while I was there. How many other fields use TEM micrographs for debugging? Or make factories with separate foundations for dozens of pieces of equipment, built on piles sunk 60 feet to rest on bedrock? Or have unit processes that include particle accelerators?

However, the chasm between undergrad CS and semiconductor fabrication is too big. There are dozens of layers in between, and all of them are interesting. If you want something more relevant to your degree, study computer architecture or VLSI design. Learn an FPGA synthesis language. If you like quantum mechanics, study semiconductor physics. Learn how a DRAM cell works and why it needs to be refreshed.

At any rate, I don't want to discourage people from studying semiconductor fabrication, but don't do it as part of a CS education. Do it because turning rocks into circuits is an awesome work of alchemy and you can be part of it.
I don't mind the notch (I understand the reason it's there and it's a compromise), but it boggles my mind that Apple decided to just place the icons under the notch, where they aren't visible.

This is a clear example of lack of dogfooding: clearly Apple executives do not use many apps, or they would have been infuriated at the stupid problem.
“Just so we’re clear, you’re saying ‘Ring Bear-er’, right?” - repeated joke from the final season of How I Met Your Mother
To me the planning phase of woodworking is a lot like coding.

You come up with an overall idea, then break it down into a skeleton and plan what structures you need (do I use pocket holes, or a mortise and tenon?). Once that’s done you fill in the details much like writing your functions and methods.
There was a time when I would have agreed pretty whole-heartedly with you and dismissed this as a "simple stupid design flaw". I've been writing production code for over 20 years, and the existence of solutions like Bartender is evidence that the problem can't be that hard, right?

And then I became a product manager for a large suite of capabilities for which large customers would spend millions/year, and my mind changed pretty significantly. Every release, I was forced to choose the 10-15 things that we could reasonably accomplish from a list of hundreds. Many dozens of the things that we didn't do could be classified as "simple stupid design flaws".

There was one of these flaws in particular that I was determined to fix when I took the role. "This makes us look stupid" I thought. It had been a gap in the product for years, and I always marveled at the fact that no one had fixed it. But the reality was, the product was architected to be extensible, and to allow 3rd party developers to build their own solutions. And in this case, there were numerous solutions in the community that solved the problem quite well. When faced with the reality of a mile-long backlog, and many of those items having no solution at all, and no affordance for developers to solve them, the already-solved design flaw always fell below the cut line for each release, despite my best efforts to prioritize it. And I begrudgingly had to acknowledge that this was the right choice at the time.

I have a slightly different view on these types of issues now. It's easy to call this a design flaw, but on the flip side, Apple has clearly made it possible for the community to solve this issue. I'm 100% positive someone at Apple is trying their hardest to get this thing fixed, but most likely keeps getting thwarted by more critical issues, and the realities of managing a large and complex platform/ecosystem.

"Apple has all the money; they should just scale up the dev team". And if they did, those new devs would be assigned to the next 10-15 items on that mile-long list that are still more important than a 1st party solution to a solved problem.

It does show the cracks in Apple's marketing, but it's also far more understandable and reasonable than I once would have believed.

(I don't/didn't work for Apple).
I agree with everything in this article except its conclusion, that we should dump every existing language for new projects and switch to a pure functional one.

This ignores the tremendous experience and sunk costs we have in the JS/TS environment -- in which we have the ability to write fully functional programs if we want to. Does the compiler enforce it? No. Like Lisp on which it was partially based, JS lets you program in many paradigms.

The author admits that functional has a long on-ramp. It took me years to grok functional[0], and I met its inventor when I worked at IBM. If the difficulty is real, that's even more reason to provide a gradual path to functional by modifying portions of existing JS/TS programs to make them more functional. Since all useful programs have side effects (and all programming is imperative in execution), these abstractions are just for people -- not the underlying machines. There is no such thing as a pure functional program. All software is either more or less functional in style. JS/TS and its support of all the key pillars of functional, is an idea way to get there.

Second cousins would be your cousin's cousins. It basically comes down to which level of grandparent you have in common. Grandparents = cousins, great-grandparents = second cousins, great-great-grandparents = third cousins.

The "removed" refers to differences in generational cohort. So if you are connected to the person by your grandparent but that same person is a great-grandparent to the relative, that relative is once removed from you. So your first cousins' children are first cousins once removed. Their grandchildren would be your first cousins twice-removed.
These companies look for people who write software to handle real-world issues on software and operations.

I can't help but agree with this post. In fact, my university makes it a standard
to teach Functional Programming via Haskell, it makes sense.

The trend in programming language design seems to be running away from mathematics
and complex problems, however the moment you remove these aspects from a language
the more error prone or resource heavy they become.

In fact, I'd like to add that, despite believing that side effects and global state
is essential for programming, we cannot simply ignore functional programming, instead
we should look to solve these problems and write error free code from a mathematical
viewpoint, thinking functional and then imperatively or object oriented or whatever.

This topic always reminds me of one of my first jobs as a young adult. It was a call center, for political polling.

The facility was foul, we had rats running around, frequent minor electrocutions from improperly maintained power and of course, all sorts of backhanded tactics to avoid paying employees what they were owed.

At some point, someone had enough and reported something to OSHA - I’m not sure what, but the day the inspector showed up, our supervisors came around the office telling us all that we had better lie to the inspector because if we tell the truth, they’ll shut us down for weeks and no one will be able to pay their rent.

I wonder how many other people struggle with that issue daily. The inability to try to make their employer do the bare minimum out of fear of losing what they do have.
There’s like four different things in the notch. Not just a camera. Plus some recessed screw holes to mount it.

We are expecting the amount of data to at least double every year for the next couple of years. That would mean that in 5 years, we'd have to manage more than 500 16 TiB hard drives in our office :D

We don't really have that many constraints, despite that it should be cost efficient and save us from loosing all our data.
It goes the other way too: standards promote open source. With standards, there is less of a moat protecting vendors from free competition.

We've seen this play out with compilers. Who is going to buy an expensive compiler when a reasonably performant free one implementing the same standard is available?
No, of course not. Why would I put Github insted of my blog, as a link? The only reason that I've put my blog URL in the README file from Github is that people wanted a download and run version. And for some reason I can not upload to Github a file that is more than 100MB in size. Regarding the options present in AURORA, notice that is still in its infancy. Some of them are present, others not. But probably more important is that Aurora offers the posibility that these options can be easily added through plugins. We will see in an year how it will look. Thank you for your time.

I remember publishing some apps to the iOS App Store and was asked to “declare cryptography to the US government”. I’m not even American.

The form made it clear that using HTTPS is considered cryptography, so I’m fairly sure almost every app on the store has checked “yes” to that question.

A lot of woodworkers build their projects in something like Sketchup before they even make the first cut, so you can basically see what the end product will look like without wasting any material.

I think woodworking is similar to programming because they both involve similar problem solving skills. You have to figure out how to build a thing to serve a use case using the tools and resources you have available.
Hey Floh! I ported your 6502 emu to rust for my AccurApple emulator. You saved me tons of time :-)
Well, of course, I am not getting at you personally, as I don't know you. And of course I am not getting angry at people around me for not having kids (do I know their reasons well?). I speak more about society as a whole.

Much of what you write are modernity made problems. When we are really getting deep into what is going on, then YOU/ME/WE should not be living on our own alone anyway. YOU/ME/WE, in a healthy society, should be living in a multigenerational home where close to NOTHING changes if there is one more kid running around. OF COURSE having kids is a much more difficult choice when we all have to live on our own, only together with our partner (with which we also have to maintain a PERFECT relationship because there is no other person around or to go to to cool down a bit anyway), we all have to pay for our housing ALONE, plus taxes, plus (in many countries) health insurance, childcare etc. . A more humanly organized society would have much more of us simply live together, share more stuff. But most of us have to start at zero. Which some say is "fair". But in reality, it is making us poorer. Financially, emotionally.
Weirder still is that they did, they have an entire expanding control panel pane with redundant pop out controls for stuff that was previously in the menu bar, they just failed to universally integrate it with the system so that third parties could use it.

I think what actually happened is that they paid $100m to make the movie. Later they determined that releasing it would be detrimental to the success or value of the company (e.g. because of reputational damage).

To avoid causing this damage they deleted the movie making sure it doesn't get out and wrote off the asset. The act of deleting the movie is not what made it worthless.

If executives had really deleted the movie in spite of believing that releasing or selling it would have a net positive value of $30m, then it could still be written off.

It's the same as employees stealing inventory or vandalising an office. The company could then fire and sue those employees, but that doesn't change the fact that the asset is now worth zero for accounting purposes.
