Why do absolutely all of them flicker?
Any devs here create these types of things? Or other systems that make it hard to repair devices?

Why do you do it? Do you see this as enshitification? Just need to pay the bills? (can't find a different job?) Think "someone else will do it if I don't?" (and don't think they'll have to pay more for the other person or that the other person will be of lesser quality or people turning down the jobs/not applying puts pressure on them?)

I really am curious. FWIW, you can create an anonymous account if you want to truthfully answer these questions. HN just needs an email address and you can use disposable ones or masks. I really do want honest answers.

Note: I __DO NOT__ want answers form others who are just making assumptions about what people creating these things actually do or think. Point is to actually not understand, not "make an ass out of you and me". But if you worked on some other similar program or something like the Sony Playstation stuff, I am happy to have your comment. I just want to keep the theme relevant and not muddied with emotional conjecture that's such a common response to these questions. I appreciate that the people with conjectures want to help, but let's wait and hear responses before we jump to conclusions.
The no sale requirements in the "contract" is interesting. However, is the following actually legal in the US?

> You have only yourself to blame. Once you get the unlock code, your device is no longer covered by the Motorola warranty; in other words, please don't blame us if things go wrong, even if they appear unrelated to unlocking the bootloader.

In Australia they can revoke the "Motorola warranty" all they want. However, everything sold comes with a warranty that can't be revoked which entitles you to repair, replacement or refund for a reasonable time frame (yes it's intentionally open ended). You have to be using the item as intended, but if the company lets you unlock the device, then that's an intended use case. Even if you do "unlock a device" against a company's wishes, you're able to make warranty claims against the individual parts which are being used as intended. The company would have to demonstrate your tampering was responsible for the damage.

I'm aware the US does not have these same consumer rights, but can a company revoke a warranty?

Wishing for Apple to do something is misplaced. Wish for and vote for a government where you live that's as concerned with your software choices as the EU and EC and European courts are for their citizens.
I would say the aesthetics of those tents are actually quite good. It very much looks like you just plopped a tent on top of the vehicle, but putting that aside it doesn’t look half bad. It’s clean, symmetrical, and has an obvious separation. In contrast it looks like someone just threw a blanket with some frames on top of the cyber truck

It's not just talk. In recent years the AMA has actively lobbied Congress to increase funding for residency programs (graduate medical education).

Anyone can fund residencies. If a wealthy donor has enough money to spare, a teaching hospital would probably be willing to create an endowed residency slot in their name. And there is already some private funding, although it is a tiny fraction of Medicare funding. Commercial payers (medical insurers) also indirectly subsidize residencies by reimbursing teaching hospitals at higher rates than other facilities for the same procedures. None of the other major healthcare industry players have a direct incentive to fund residencies.

R2 and R3 have very good design and priced well but 2026 is a bit too far away. By that time, Tesla would've improved their design and margin even more, not to mention traditional OEMs catching up, because that EV price segment is where others are "today". On top of that, Rivian needs to survive till 2026.

Now, if they start deliveries in 6 months, it will be a runaway hit.
Yes.. so hypothetically if not for Safari/Chrome not being updatable for MacOS High Sierra, she would still be using the same laptop.

In fact I have the exact same model as her, a MacBook Air 2011 and I am still using it. I am typing on it right now. It has 4 GB RAM.

8 GB is considered unacceptable on a current Windows machine. The fact that Macs have unified memory or "better managed" (how? in software?) memory hardware/OS, while partly true, nevertheless is on the balance a less plausible an argument than the fact that Apple consistently, knowingly underspecs base model RAM (and overprices the RAM upgrades) for casual consumers. There's an argument for planned obsolescence here, if not at least identifying RAM to be the weakest part of a well-rounded system spec.

Besides, if Macs manage memory efficiently then please explain why is Apple online store pricing the M2+16 GB > the M3 base model? That's $70 more just for ram on an otherwise 2022 model. Is there a technological justification for that value? Or just the vagaries of supply and demand?
Slightly off topic: Haven’t tried it, but does a simple VPN for the EU allow you to access all these great EU features like 3rd party appstores?

Require "ultimate beneficiary" disclosure (easy for the government to do), require this ultimate beneficiary to have the equivalent of a SSN.

Or, for foreigners (if you still want to allow that...), have a "vouching" system where 1 Canada national (holder of whatever the SSN equivalent is) to sponsor up to N non-Canadians, cap N.

The sponsor can be a Canadian lawyer or notary signing on behalf of "Chinese person #18940" but they would still be capped at N.

Not sure if this works or not, but there's also a distinctive refusal of average Joe go live in the country you know, so that also drives up the demand for real state near cities as opposed to the vast available land area Canada (or the US) occupies.

All of this could be applied in the US as well, they already do it with bank accounts for what it's worth, look it up...

UK seems to be a big importer of animal feed. Local meat does necessarily exclude strip-farming biome half a planet away.

https://oec.world/en/profile/hs/animal-food

I'm actually very surprised by these numbers, namely that all other top five importers except the UK are net exporters. My mental image of Netherlands and Germany (where I eat too much meat) was that of huge net importers, whose plant production output was in large parts an echo of the animal feed imports (feed gets converted into meat and dung...). Perhaps they are only net exporters by market value, but net importers by nutrient amount?

The outer layer is for rain/downpours. The underlying layer often has windows and lots of airflow for non-wet time.

And I think that extends out further to a lot of little micro strategies. Like I know for myself that I have a lot more control in the supermarket to avoid something like corn chips than I have at home once said corn chips are in the pantry. So I have a strategy of limiting what I buy at the market rather than trying to struggle with eating carefully at home. There are a lot of little hacks like that, that can make life better.
Hrm there probably is, but the pio commands don't have addition so the integration part of the delta sigma modulator could be trouble. You could preprocess but it would create enormous files.

I did do a delta sigma using the pios but fed via cpu, essentially used just a look up table of amplitudes that fed a bitstream into the pios to get a psuedo 133 MSPs dac.
I'm the same camp. I use async/await because they exist and it's usually a good idea to use similar approaches to other devs, but I question why we even needed async/await in the first place. It's a big deal to add syntax to a whole language, and a small one to add a function to a library. We have

const foo = async function() {
const user = await fetchUser()

But if they'd just made a Promise.coroutine, you could equivalently do this without needing to change the language:

const foo = co(function* () {
const user = yield fetchUser()

There's some unpopular cases like async iterables or async generators, but for the most part we could've done the same thing without extending the language. I remember the v1 of koa that had yield everywhere and people thought it was confusing af. Then they released with await and suddenly it made sense to people.
While $3000 sounds like a lot, quickly googling for "F150 rooftop tent" returned many results for over $3K.

That a first-party product on a high-end vehicle with a tiny market share costs around the same as aftermarket products for the most popular truck on the market makes the price seem less ridiculous than headlines make it appear.

However, I'm not deeply enmeshed in truck culture. I'm sure many folks can weigh in with (hopefully) nuanced takes on the price/value equation.
That is ... amazingly consistent.

I hadn't considered the aspect of 'looking powerful/competent' before, but I have found setting limited goals useful for thinking strategically.

The practical benefits of a limited versus highly ambitious short-term goal from the outset include an avoidance of 'feature creep' where you're tempted to add more nice-to-have features partway through, more self-confidence that you can achieve the goal with a little effort, and a clearly-identified decision point upon achieving the goal, where you can decide whether to continue on with the project for more ambitious goals, or satisfyingly call the project complete.

In educational psychology, this is known as the "zone of proximal development" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zone_of_proximal_development), which I've also heard as called "i+1 planning."
Apple says you must be physically located in an EU country to be eligible, as determined by your device, so presumably they are checking GPS and/or cellular location data rather than just IP geolocation.
This feels like a malicious version of the fair usage exceptions to the EU's mobile phone roaming regulations. I hope the EU tightens up the rules to prevent this as these does not seem to be any justification for this, crossing a border doesn't suddenly add additional cost to Apple.
Gotta ask, Shakespeare scholar and hacker/techie? That's great. I did a lot of art history classes while majoring in cs as an undergrad.

Not generally - they can refuse a warranty service if it seems like the custom modification you made is causing whatever issue you're trying to use the warranty for, but they can't deny it if it unrelated. So if you have a warranty on your car, and you put a custom engine in it, and then it turns out you received defective seatbelts, the warranty is still active. But if your drive train is trashed from the extra power of the new engine, then the warranty will not be honored.
Im not Norwegian but perhaps someone from Norway can respond. Is there a cottage industry for this?
For better or worse, lawmakers are allergic to copying another jurisdiction’s regulations. What we are inevitably going to end up with, if anything, is a mishmash of superficially differing rules between jurisdictions. Apple will either use their infinite resources to maliciously comply with all of them to the minimum degree required, creating an increasingly shittified, fragmented experience. Or, cooler heads will prevail, Apple will admit to themselves that the party is over, and they’ll start complying with the spirit of the law.
>"It isn't rational to say zero, is it?"

It is well above zero. But this is for very specific situation - parallel CSS.

I on the other hand had never had problem managing / mutating state in my multithreaded programs. I did have one situation with deadlock when interacting with Directshow signal processing. That was around 2002 I think. Took me one day to analyze and fix the code after the bug was reported. But Directshow is an incredibly complex piece with some weird behaviors. Other then that I do not recall any real problems. Btw that particular software was desktop application and written in Delphi, not even C++.

So yes to me the opinion of Mozilla's team is totally irrelevant. It is of course totally mutual but I suspect that my situation - C++ application servers is way more common than parallel CSS.

...that's one solution, with its dis-advantages of courses but...

No, the Board determines when AGI is reached.

Thus, if OpenAI already got there, and the board found out... Microsoft would have a very VERY strong incentive to ouster the board, and never, ever have Skynet, or whatever, declared an AGI. And then hush it up forever.

As a Colorado citizen, I sincerely don't think the CO case was a thin facade for partisan, anti democratic efforts.

I've met Norma Anderson, one of the plaintiffs, around 2000. She was fairly partisan back then. I'm genuinely surprised she was involved. Also surprised she's still alive, but that's biology, not politics.

I read the Denver Post for years. I cancelled my subscription in part because of Krista Kafer's pro-Trump, illogical editorials. Another surprise plaintiff.

If this was an anti democratic partisan effort, it was by staunch Republicans.

A single person, by definition, can't construct a social illusion. "Social" requires a society, which means at the very least two people. "A social illusion constructed by the person it is acting upon" is nonsense.

We could call a language a social illusion. There's nothing red about the word red. And the distinction we draw between "earth" and "sky" is not one that the universe appears to use in its operation. Language does, however, require us to negotiate symbols, their meanings, and the consequences stemming from them. Like in how I rejected your definition of "official" with a rationale which you may attempt to overcome, accommodate... or just walk away from. And like in how we have structured our interactions so far as a contest of truths with bold and uncompromising assertions, when the option remains available to switch to a search for truth with tentative and attackable statements.

It's exactly with the same with governments and other organizations, all based on language as they are. We make them up. We make up rules for making them up. Occasionally someone hits someone else with a big stick. But although the stick is real, the reasons why we do things, and the reasons why we believe we can do things with these consequences or those, are things we all work together or in opposition to establish. "Official" included.
The AMA is only a private professional association. They have some political influence but no regulatory authority. Medical schools have to be accredited so that's one limiting factor. But the real bottleneck today is more lack of slots in graduate medical education (residency) programs. Every year there are some students who graduate with an MD but can't practice medicine because they don't get matched to a residency program. To expand the supply we have to start there.

In addition to a sentence about what this solves relative to Vite, another sentence saying what Vite is would also be helpful to those of us who have never heard of Vite. A link to https://vitejs.dev/ would probably suffice, though even that site doesn't seem to explain much until you follow some links.

I'm very probably not the target audience for this, but the README should have enough information to tell me I'm not the target audience.

(From that site: "Vite (French word for "quick", pronounced /vit/, like "veet") is a build tool that aims to provide a faster and leaner development experience for modern web projects.")
Can downvoters explain why they are doing so? I agree with both of these points (first sale doctrine and that a license is not a contract) and would like to hear explanation of why they are mistaken here.

In particular, there is no consideration offered by either party, and so this cannot be contractual on its face.
I also did this in the beginning with these new-style sliders that are really just checkboxes. Because they look different, I assumed they were different. (I was probably like 17 when these things became fashionable, not quite elderly just yet and also deeply into technology in general.) I also did it because it wasn't quite clear which direction was "on", so I tried to make it go in a specific direction. They did work, though, also on swiping, so that didn't help the learning process either.

Anyway, point is: potentially more of an "it's new to me" thing than an "elderly" thing.

The corollary to that is there is no profit until there is a sale.

For example, buying and holding Bitcoin as price of BTC surges is not profit. The investor must sell in order to see any profit. The ability for large numbers of investors to sell Bitcoin _at any time_ for large amounts of US dollars is unproven and therefore questionable, IMHO.

> What even is knowing something when folks contradict themselves two replies in?

You quoted two bits and are claiming they are contradictory, but they aren't.

I said, "My goal is to be able to build my project with as little effort as possible. "Effort" includes evaluating different tools and reading their documentation."

That's not "I don't want to read about any other build systems besides Cargo."

I'm happy to read about other build systems. I would be extremely happy if I found one as easy as Cargo for C, but I'm quite confident that doesn't exist.

But it took me all of 3 minutes to learn how to do everything I need to do with Cargo, and it was simple enough that I have it committed to memory and never have to read it again. I don't want waste time reading about build systems that are immediately obviously harder to use and don't do anything more, because that is a complete and utter waste of time.

And I say "You know that" because it's not some puzzle if you were looking to understand what I say instead of attack it.

This feels like they don't want to be liable if someone roots a phone, installs malware or something, sells it to another person, and then proceeds to exploit the compromised phone they just sold.

Which would be entirely understandable. IDK if that's what this is, or if this is the best way to do that.

edit: in a way, once you do this it's not "a motorola phone" anymore. They are selling you a device and software configuration together branded as the motorola whatever. If you modify that, it's not what they sold you, but they have no way to note to the secondary market that the device is not what they intended it to be. It's not a visible change. Again, no idea if this is the right way to stop that (I'm guessing not), but I can also see where they would be upset about this.

edit 2: Setting aside the "we don't want to be liable" idea. It could also be a "we don't want to support this device anymore" idea. We do this sort of thing all the time - you did what with our code? Sorry dude you're on your own. Again, why do it this way. But maybe.
There's a nytimes piece about Mira Murati being the instigator of much of this, and convincing the board he should be ousted. Also at some point she flipped to the other side, championing his return (maybe due to the revolt).

Immediately reminded me of Succession, where [SPOILER]: Ken initiates a proxy battle for his dad's company, then rejoins the company and attempts to "diffuse the bomb he planted".
Given they took thentime to out this together, I'm guessing they won't actually go after anybody for this, they're just putting it there to distance themselves from any consequences that arise from somebody selling unlocked devices. But agreeing to terms on the belief that they won't actually be enforced is a risky game to play. Bot sure what the consequences could possibly be though.

I think this third party appstore is an existential threat to apple in the sense that no one jailbreaks there iphone, because they need legit apps, but if the EU allows third party apps stores, then Americans could start jailbreaking their phones and just using third party app stores.
