I don't understand how this can possibly work within the constraints of iOS, and I've done some digging in the code.

Anyone else find where they are doing anything iOS specific to enable background uploads when you don't ever open the app? Apple go to great lengths to make sure the user has to use the app before it allows "budget" for background processes to execute within.

My guess is that as part of the Ente team, you open the app semi regularly, which is enough for the device to give some budget for your cloud sync process to kick off in the background every now and then.

For me, I would set Ente up and forget it. But I'm 99% sure in that case it would simply stop syncing after a few days.
i would, but it requires a google login.
so, nope.
There's a big difference between serving up static documents (I wouldn't call this "rendering") and dynamic documents. Then there's also a difference between using a templating system for dynamism or a more programmatic and less portable page generation system that's anchored in a specific language like this.
I am a layperson and never heard about that phenomenon, please could you provide a pointer?
A related one-handed, eyes-off way to text fast is with the Twiddler chording keyboard, used by the wearable computing people, circa turn of the century:

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

Of course that, too, requires special training to use. And harder to integrate into a smartphone design than 2 side buttons. (Maybe turn the back of an iPhone-like form factor into a chording keypad, with physical buttons or some other tactile affordance?)

Brad Rhodes at MIT would have a Twiddler in a pocket, a small Private Eye brand HUD on the corner of his hat brim, and a lunchbox-sized PC on a shoulder strap. He could be typing and looking up information while he was talking with someone or in a meeting, without them necessarily being able to tell.

(Though, if someone did notice use of the wearable computer, they might not say anything anyway, since -- as he eventually realized -- some people who hadn't gotten the demo thought that the box with the cables coming out of it and going into clothing might be a medical device.)

Have you tried the MERN stack (MongoDB, Express, React, Node)? If you expect traffic to be relatively low and the app is simple, I'd even forgo MongoDB in favour of a dead-simple JSON file. I'd put it all on an AWS Lightsail instance to save as much money as possible. You could also look into self-hosting if you live close to your user base.

> How many legs are there in a transaction?

Almost always multiple, depending on what you consider a transaction, and the PoV of the accounts involved, etc.

I cannot think of a transaction that has a single leg only.

Here's a possibility: You buy something online. You pay $100 by credit card ($80 cost plus $20 shipping).

The accounting system needs to record your purchase. Maybe dr 'Mr ClientName' with $100, cr 'Clearing' with $100.

At some point bank recon will happen, the payment will reflect and the amount will be considered 'cleared'. At this point dr 'Clearing' with $100, cr 'depot' with $100 and delivery details.

The depot will cr 'Stock' for $80 worth of stock, dr 'Courier' for $20[1] using the order number and the companys client number at the courier for folio. Payment request fired off to people with authority to approve payments (PWATAP).

PWATAP will place order at supplier for $80 of stock (to replenish), dr 'PurchaseInProgress' with $80, pay courier service and cr 'Courier' with $20.

In reality, all of those things either happen in a more streamlined way (a holding account is used and replenishments are purchased periodically in batches, not individually), or behind the scenes and invisible to the end-user (dispatcher simply puts "fulfilled order" into the system, and the system will split it up however it needs to).

[1] The courier will go through the same process, for their services rendered
Just thinking about some intuition for the result of the theorem: If the off diagonal elements are zero then the diagonal element is an eigenvalue, by continuity of the determinant, if the off diagonal element are small then $det(A-a_{ii}\lambda)$ is almost zero, that is the new eigenvalue is near aii. So it suggests that the off diagonal elements measure how far is aii from being an eigenvalue.

First principles thinking vs. second order thinking
I think this is really good advice. Everything you've said makes a lot of sense.

I'll have to take stock of my connections and consider who among them I think might really have a positive view of my work and our previous interactions. I'm not the most social person and struggle to establish meaningful connections with people, but I'm confident that there are a handful of people who have appreciated working with me and would recommend me for positions that open up around them.

I've already settled due to inertia, but it's a hole I can dig myself out of with enough effort. I think it'll mostly just require a better understanding of what I am looking for, beyond just something new, challenging, and fulfilling. But I'll have to do some more thinking on that end.

Thanks for your comment. :) I really appreciate it.

If this could be a wireless access point, I think that could be a differentiator. I would love a more minimal phone for daily carry -- but when travelling, it'd be nice to connect my iPad/laptop to an AP for those things that need modern apps.
Thanks for your reply. One comment, though:

> Ask them what they want, do what the want, cash the check.

That person is very much not tech-savvy, and I consider my role to help them find out what they need (not "want"). (Also, there's no check involved - this is a friend of someone in the family, I'm doing this for free.)
I recently have been thinking about UGC site in general, and it seems like they generally go two ways:

1. Allow most legal content to be uploaded and control distribution with algos

YouTube, Roblox, Twitter, Tinder, Flickr, Insta, FB, TikTok.

This lets users practice and test things without risk to their work or account.

2. Sites that try to "keep the db clean" by nuking stuff they think is "bad" by some criteria.

Sites like this: Wikipedia, most big subreddits

Type 2 sites can be unsustainable because they tend to make new users feel judged, and don't give them the chance to iterate and improve their work until it's more ready to be shared and useful to a broader audience. You just find your content nuked, or removed from the subreddit, or downvoted a ton, often with a dismissive or aggressive comment. This is NOT the way to grow and survive as a company over a long period of time

Obviously, there is no necessity to keep the db full of only high quality items. As the scope and number of niches a site covers, it's not possible to maintain that. On the other hand, using algos lets you do interactive tests with content, directly testing against various audiences to see if they like it, without having to do editorial work yourself.

Of course, there has to be some limit - articles for every pokemon, or every version of every pokemon, etc at some point it does get too far. The thing for me is coming in and seeing your content completely deleted.
(1) The big problem I have is transitioning from RStudio to a pipeline (so I end up not using RStudio). A traditional pipeline is going to be a script with some set of arguments -- parameter values, fitting functions, and data file names, that I put into a shell script and say:

my_plot_script.R --plot_col=g_max --output_type=pub_quality data_file1 data_file2 data_file3

It's possible to use optparse/OptionParser() to get that information (but you have an option for every argument, no --param1 X --param2 Y file1 file2 file3) but it is much more difficult to fit those arguments into the RStudio environment. I want an RStudio to be able emulate reading command line arguments (since they do not exist in RStudio). Right now, I have to check to see if there are commandArgs(), and, if not, do something else to get the information to the RStudio script.

(2) There needs to be an option that says STOP if something doesn't make sense. I have dozens of beautiful data plots that look great, but in fact do not in fact plot what I think they do, because factors have not been properly assigned to colors, shapes, or linetypes. (And it can be really hard to recognize that the data has not been plotted properly.) Give me an option that says, if I did not explicitly declare a column a factor, and I did not specifically associate colors/shapes/lines with factors, then the data will not be plotted.
Thinking about this, and about the big launchers that the three-letter agencies use...

I wonder if US satellites (a) use a lot of Kevlar (or similar), and (b) can see nearby explosions (like, the triggering of a fragmentation weapon) and quickly close semi-armored shutters over their vital bits.

One would defeat this by creating - out of detection range - a fragment cloud that is on an intercept course. But that might be too complex and time-consuming if a war is starting. So what is the threshold for plausible deniability ?

And of course there's also railguns, à la The Expanse.

it's possible to have a more positive take on this - those species did not go entirely extinct, as their genes continue live on within many of us - and thus we carry their legacy as much as we do for homo sapien. We might even speciate again one day, should genetic populations isolate again for a time
Just file it. You may end up underpaying the penalties and interest, if you do they'll send you a statement for the difference.

The important thing is to comply with your obligations and get any underpayment down to a small amount ASAP.

In my case I got a little fixated on exactly computing the penalties plus interest which delayed resolving it. While researching it I found a court case where the IRS was asking the court for permission to approximate the interest because it was too complicated to compute. 0_o. At that point I gave up trying to compute it myself, but immediately after they sent me another notice with updated values and that was enough to disambiguate the two competing readings of the tax code and I was able to pay it exactly. :P

Almost two decades later I know better-- just put in a reasonable effort and let the IRS worry about it.
You are confused, despite my having explained many times. Your misrepresentation seems like bad faith. The Upton Sinclair quote comes to mind.

My issue is with all people who ship spyware; it is unethical. It’s nothing specific to Homebrew (sadly) and it’s not a grudge.

Lots of people would turn it off if they realized it was spying on them. The problem is people who assume consent and co-opt computers that do not belong to them to spy on users and exfiltrate data that isn’t theirs. They think that being volunteers or making f/oss entitles them to act unethically.

Opt-in consent is fine. These authors don’t use it because they secretly know that if they asked outright, most people would say no.

Seriously, it’s not any personal grudge against your project (and didn’t know until this moment that you had blocked me): Mattermost, VSCode, NetData, CapRover, and a thousand others also behave in such an unethical manner. It’s shameful, and it should be illegal.

Many people don’t know about it (as evidenced by sibling comments in this thread) and obviously should. This is a failure of the project that spreading public awareness about helps.

I would love to see the f/oss community abandon projects that are run in such an unethical manner. Nixpkgs on macOS, for example, doesn’t spy on you. (Neither do the package managers in the Linuxen you can replace macOS with.)
ORMs are bad and I say that as a veteran of Hibernate, Entity Framework (almost every version, including code-first and db-first), E Bean, NHibernate and, worst of all by far, ActiveRecord.
>Since the last ice age we've been dropping like flies. In fact, we're the only humans left.

They seem to be competing with https://www.newspapers.com/, which has been providing access to historical newspapers for about 10 years now.

I did a few searches on OldNews.com to compare with Newspapers.com, and it seems that OldNews has a smaller database, with far fewer newspapers. It didn't contain results from a sampling of local newspapers that I tried, nor from major newspapers like the NY Times, Wall Street Journal, or Chicago Tribune.

At $99/year, OldNews is also slightly more expensive than the basic Newspapers.com subscription.

Their UX is also lacking, with poor filtering options that make it difficult to select a specific publication, city, or range of dates.

It's not clear to me how they hope to compete with the incumbent in the market.
Since the stock went up 10x during the timeframe of the deal, the shareholders benefited a lot.

I don’t think this belief was widespread at all at that time.

Indeed, it’s not widespread even now, lots of folks round here are still confused by “open weight sounds like open source and we like open source”, and Elon is still charging towards fully open models.

I personally am of the opinion that you only really need one of these. Containers don't really need VMs and vice versa to get all of the benefits of abstracting away the fact that your hardware might break. It's just a choice of which abstraction you prefer to operate at (of course, clouds will put your containers in VMs anyway because they need that abstraction). It sort of sounds like the parent prefers the VM abstraction, and you prefer the container abstraction.

Are you sure, at least as far as keeping airborne critters away? The real nasty part is when the plane is on the ground, engines running, and it’s not a 787 so it has a bleed air system, and it stinks. As I understand it, this happens because the ventilation system does work the same way as it does in the air, and it’s a bad idea!
Anyone have experience with Django Ninja?
You really really want to just run the Ethernet. It’s not that painful, and you can transition to WiFi if you need to.

Except that fusion on earth will likely never be cheaper than solar/wind.

I mean that is a cool scifi story, but economics seems to hate cool things.

There's this "big lie" that fusion people imply that it will be cheap, clean, and limitless.

Cheap is doubtful, clean is undermined by the reality that fast neutrons from fusion degrade the reactor to radioactive isotopes, and ok the fuel is pretty much limitless

Now, if we can get scalable fusion as viable load levelling, to develop it to the point it can be used in space then that's some real scifi.
I still think Wikipedia's focus on significance was a historic mistake. At the very least there should have been an "extended" Wikipedia+ that strived to include all human knowledge no matter how trivial.

How do you get over co-founder betrayal?
To the ones who have been on the receiving end of co-founder kickout, how did you emerge from it? What are some of key lessons you learned that you applied to your future career? What did you do to find your next venture / career move? How did you revenge?

I was forced out by my co-founder, three weeks before my 1-year equity vesting cliff and our PR embargo date, and right after he returned from his paternity leave, during which I covered all his duties. The company is one year old and I have been the driving force behind product and company strategy. It would not be exaggerating to say I was the irreplaceable one, and my co-founder has been very insecure since day one (and I'm female, it didn't help). He strung me along with discussions of increased equity share in the past 6-7 months. Last week, he asked me to meet to 'discuss strategy in person', and let me go, with no reasons or explanations. Just before he went on paternity leave, he said 'we need to have each others back'.

> I said this in another thread too, but the problem with Lisp is that it's sorta bundled with Emacs, so if you want to use LISP's powerful REPL you really have no choice other than learning Emacs.

You can use Medley which is Interlisp-D, a different, parallel strain of Lisp, a descendent of MACLISP, itself an ur-lisp ancestor of Interlisp, emacs lisp (older than EMACS, which didn’t start out as a lisp program at all), CommonLisp, Multics MACLISP and that even begat Scheme.

Interlisp didn’t even keep its code as text files (though I wrote an eMacs for it at PARC back in the early 80s) so you may find it more accessible.
Yes, you do have to actually learn how to use an engine, just as you had to learn how to use SDL or any other library. Most people, once they learn how to use such engines, are far more productive than people writing entirely low-level code. You can have a basic 2D or 3D scene ready in Godot in minutes, with collision detection, lighting, camera and a controllable player. from scratch, the equivalent of either might take days or weeks.

I'm not disparaging low-level coding here, I write projects in C, LuaJIT and SDL myself. But I know from personal experience how liberating it can be to not have to deal with 90% of what amounts to uninteresting boilerplate and focus on the actual creative part of a project.
