this has been my experience. had a couple people reach out to me for PM and DevOps roles, on the Sr / Manager level.

was metaphorically flirting with another group where the leadership were people I used to work for too, kept poking them to keep in touch, sounded like there may be some options. we'll see if they score more funding though; if not, they may not be able to offer roles or pay, but they keep talking like it'll happen...

Meanwhile on places like r/itcareerquestions and r/cscareerquestions it sounds like there are a lot of noobs and juniors fighting for a handful of roles.
Getting a house isn’t a crime; what crime did they commit? If not a crime, what civil law did they violate, which indicates that they owe some penalty or compensation?

I’m not sure they’re innocent, but I’m also unsure what you’re accusing them of.
Yet, the summarized rules are essential.

I get where the article is going, but the way it's written is not correct at all. If you don't read the rules first, you can't try anything.
That is, indeed, a technical limitation of MMS.

The newer RCS standard would be better, but Apple has already announced they're going to support it this year (after dragging their heels for a few years).
Somebody needs to explain that number to me.

I did find this in a 11/29/2023 bankruptcy filing:

" As of August 24, 2023, approximately 36,000 customer claims had been filed for a total of over $16 billion ^3 ... Non-customer claims asserted against the Debtors total approximately $40 billion ..."

with this footnote:

3. "Filed customer claim amounts exclude approximately 200 frivolous or errant claims totaling approximately $9.2 quintillion."
Is it actually possible that $23.6 quintillion dollars were lost and the economy didn't crash?
The DOJ can’t really force Apple to do anything here without a consent decree, and with the case they just filed I’ll be surprised if they even get that much. Although, who knows, maybe a New Jersey district court will be a friendlier jurisdiction for this spaghetti case.
Now I miss del.icio.us.
Yea, its obviously based on opinion. I enjoyed it though. I guess if you want to be more objective, then "things that lack firm evidence" may be a bit better.

I personally follow a calorie counting diet, but for most people, it is not an effective way to lose weight. Obviously it is because they have issues adhering to it, not some kind of free energy power source.
> If people want to buy an iphone and shit it up, let them do it.

The next generation isn't necessarily choosing, though.

Their parents are giving into their demands for *an iPhone due to social pressures entirely originated by Apple's monopolistic behavior (iMessage green bubbles).

Then, when they're locked into the Apple ecosystem from the start, it's almost impossible to break out -- even if you grow up into a mature adult that doesn't give a shit about bubble colors.

Interoperability (being able to exit an ecosystem without massive downsides, specifically) between the only two parties in a de facto duopoly is absolutely necessary and morally right, and it's a shame market failures force the judiciary to intervene. But we are where we are and there's no use putting lipstick on a pig -- the system as it stands is broken, and if left alone will feed on itself and become even more broken.
Absolutely shit tons of fluff comes off off polyester clothes and ends up in the drain.

It's simpler than you think: retailers want to make returns difficult so you don't do it. Seems too dumb to be true, but it is haha.

That's a lot of the reason we built Orderly. We're slowly giving consumers all the opportunities and advantages retailers have always been able to offer but haven't wanted to.
Give Wagtail a try if you are a fan of Python/Django/Postgres. It is a very good CMS while also properly integrating with the underlying framework.

Payload CMS is a far less mature option but it looks promising and could be a decent choice for teams that prefer JavaScript/Mongo. I have no direct experience with this one so can't say if it is good in practice.
I had been wanting to sign up for exercism, and I love APL, so this was a good nudge. However, I'm browsing the language tracks, and I don't see APL. I see this post is from July 2023—has the APL track been removed since then? Or am I just looking in the wrong place?
Your second paragraph is incorrect and is explained why in your quote. Apple does allow alternative browsers, it does however restrict the rendering engine. Saying there is only one browser on iOS is like saying Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge are the same browser because they both use chromium.

The values are crazy high by default (on modern hardware anyway): 10% of memory for dirty_background_bytes and 20% for dirty_bytes. I wonder why no distro touches these.
With respect, this second part is so dependent on "well implemented" and a party acting in good faith (ie not being a scam) that it's basically a worthless argument.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Braess's_paradox seems even more relevant. Removing a "shortcut" road and traffic improving (or adding a shortcut and traffic getting worse) is very counterintuitive.
I do think complexity could be part of why we don't have many options here, but I don't agree that a layout engine is too difficult to maintain. More of the issue is that CSS layout (and maybe layout in general) is not widely well-understood. I've almost _never_ come across people interested in layout because generally it's a few properties to get something working and then you move on.

> few organizations have the resources to maintain a rendering engine long-term

I'm curious are there other instances of this happening than Edge switching to Blink? That event was one of my main motivators; it felt like further consolidation of obscure knowledge.
> Apparently they didn’t because Apple Music boomed right after that change.

I wonder how much offering discounted subscriptions to students or iCloud Family users also contributed to its success.

> It’s a one-time pop-up, on opening the music app the first time. Same as the browser choice pop-up on your desktop. Hardly an advertisement.

I don't like browser selection options either. Then again, I tend to use Apple's default apps unless I have an unusual reason to use something else.
I think that the focus of combining it with Whonix is interesting and is what piqued my interest originally. Other than that, nothing.

I wonder how much those 5% contribute compared to the folks using the new interface.
Thats for the writeup. I tend to agree with most of those, although the "super app" things is weird to me...I don't like the idea of "super apps" because it is hard for the user to share only the minimal permissions.
It will also be good because users will become more annoyed when people try to sneak full programs into their websites, hopefully resulting in a generally less bloated internet.
But they can. If you think they can not then explain.

Will they? Probably not because people with Apple devices tend to spend more money.

Biggest issue in my eyes was authorities denying that covid was airborne until it was scientifically verified. It should have been treated as such in the beginning until proven otherwise, it's better to be safe than sorry and it should have been obvious by how fast the virus spread that it was not via contact.

I don’t know what you’re referring to. Trust is a fundamental part of security. Without trust you need to be ever vigilant in an ever expanding set of domains and technologies, or you have to shrink your vulnerability surface area down to something that you can at all times personally comprehend and manage. This will not work for 99.99% of the population.

This behavior is so overt that I am constantly baffled that otherwise rational people continue to make up excuses for Apple. See also this article where they overtly state that the green bubble thing is deliberately intended to cause lock-in: https://www.theverge.com/2021/4/9/22375128/apple-imessage-an...

I have been called a "violent criminal" on this very site because I criticized Apple's decision to remotely brick swapped components to prevent DIY repairs. I do not understand what it is about Apple that causes this behavior in people when they make it so, so, so obvious that they are just trying to lock people in for cash.
Phenomenal to see how Ragas has progressed. Congratulations on the launch
Becuase the green bubble makes the user move to an IPhone. Then the user can only use Apple Pay, not Google Pay or Samsung Pay, can only use Apple's Store, can only.. And from having teenagers, the green bubbles MATTER. very, very, very much.
Not the socket’s fault; it’s the charger. My MBP 90W charger doesn’t have a grounding pin. The 60W doesn’t have a grounding pin.

They have the hardware to be grounded (the metal T stub on which you attach the local plug), but they don’t come with the extended wire by default which has the grounding pin for the outlet.

In actuality, the reason you feel the tingle is because the case is effectively grounded to the neutral pin. The three phases are joined together at the transformer to create a cheap neutral, but because the load on all three phases are slightly out of phase, our body can feel the handful of mV being leaked.
Ask HN: Has Reddit Turned into Facebook?
There's always some outrage on the home page

The homepage UI has slowly become almost a clone of FB[1].

The quality of discussion has eroded and now it's almost useless to read any thread there, especially on popular subs.

After downloading the software that I know I need I rarely ever open the App Store. I really only do for updates every once in a while. I don't mind them in the App Store because that is an appropriate place for them. Seeing them as apart of the normal platform UI (Microsoft Start menu, looking at you) is distasteful. I go out of my way to avoid advertisements both on and off the internet and my QOL has improved greatly as a result.
TLDR: It has nothing to do with MMS

But that didn't address GP's comment. Apple states that green bubbles are pariahs because messages can't be sent to androids so it breaks the system, or something like that [BS]

Iphone users think that green bubbles are pariahs because they aren't part of their exclusive group, and because green bubbles turn chat groups into rubbish, because yada yada not iphone. (spoiler alert, apple does it on purpose)

First thank you for great question. Those are among few things really worth talking about :)

1. afaik, monotheistic god is never she in any major religion, there are number of philosophical and other reasons behind it

2. the most logical and non contradictory answer i've come to so far (who knows what future will bring) to the question "why is there something other than nothing?" is that something uncreated has decided or made such a choice. Or even dropped a coin, but coins dont drop by themselves.

3. the greek "unmoved mover" if you like. This resolves the recursive problem (who created the creator?)

4. In other words to have anything relative - there must be something absolute.

5. If this absolute made a choice to have something - this absolute is a person (at least to some degree by our human standards).

6. God as a bearded guy somewhere on the cloud or in the end of the universe - is a naive dumb strawman version of god that pseudo-theologists like Dawkins/Harris exploit over and over to look smarter than they are and sell books/tours.

7. Atheism as a faith in the absence of god is functionally indistinguishable from religious radicalism.

Because the same way we can not prove the existence of God, we can't really _prove_ the absence of something like God. And religious radicalists believe not so much in god but rather in some specific set of interpretations (which are technically not God).

And they make these interpretations and their self-righteousness the focus of their faith, not the god. Same way so called atheists make dogma out of their beliefs and enjoy hating and mocking believers so much.

So strictly speaking you either a believer or an agnostic. If you stay within rational domain.
Everyone I communicate with who has an Android device has WhatsApp or Signal installed. Same is true of 99% of iPhone users.
They were FTX insiders. It’s not like they received this massive compensation out of the blue. They should be investigated as co-conspirators in their son’s proven fraud operation.
The scare scam I got a while ago was a "cop" claiming that I missed showing up for jury duty that morning. He spoke "cop talk" and passed me to another "officer", who tried to convince me that since I missed showing up for jury duty that a bench warrant was issued which would result in me getting arrested if I tried to show up to the court house to "post bond". Instead, he recommended that I use a remotely located "bond posting" machine they have in several locations (he rattled off 3 addresses), and I can give him the receipt number and that would clear up the warrant. It just so happened that if you googled "Bitcoin ATMs", it came up with those 3 locations as the first three results.

Now what really pissed me off is that it took more than half an hour to get to the scam part -- they put me on hold multiple times, and passed me back and forth between the two "cops", with really no information given to me. Once it got to the demand for money, I started putting them on hold, until I hung up (which he of course warned me not to do), and they kept calling back until I blocked the number.
For AI projects, afaict, 12k stars or forks is more akin to downloads than contributors & downstreams. GitHub is the app distribution, not just source distribution. I've been curious how to model this better..

Yeah, that's more or less how I was doing things. I believed the idiotic claims of super-high interest for GUSD on Gemini Earn, I planned things around it, then it's locked down and I'm not able to withdraw. I'd be very happy to get my money back for the GUSD. I care less about the other cryptocurrencies because that was always just gambling to me anyway, but I believed the FDIC claims that Gemini had on their website and thought GUSD was safe. In hindsight, it was very stupid, and I really don't need anyone to lecture me about how they would never fall for a scam like that again here, as has happened multiple times already.

I guess I'm not at much risk of being sued to recover assets, since I'm way negative due to Gemini Earn, but it didn't even occur to me that that was a possibility; now I'm kind of glad I didn't withdraw all my funds like a week before.
> We're talking about negative externalities

No. Not sure why would you would choose to reply before reading the comments, but since you have... we are quite explicitly talking about at least one consumer expecting food packaging to degrade within a similar period as the food contained within, with a suggestion that an authoritarian government in a perfect world would recognize that as a good idea and force it upon the people.

But the general consensus seems to be that, in a perfect world, governments are democratic – a notion you do not seem to discount.

Under a democracy, if he stands alone in that desire of short-life packaging, nothing is going to change. No business is going to cater to his unique want (well, maybe if he's exceedingly rich and is willing to pay disproportionally for it) and government is not going to act on the wishes of one person (that would be undemocratic). If a majority of people share in that desire, though, then businesses would face pressure to provide when consumers make that choice clear. Any business that fails to comply will suffer the consequences of lost profits. The people can enact a law that prevents themselves from buying the product they already don't want to buy, but that doesn't accomplish anything. They've already decided they don't want to buy it!

Democratic government is useful for cleaning up minority groups who try to act against the wishes of the majority, but in this particular case you have not even made clear why the minority would be stuck on buying 'forever' packaging or what businesses would gain from catering to the minority. People don't care about food packaging that much. Once the majority are buying short-life packaging, the small number of people who want to watch the world burn will be priced out of the market anyway. As such, there is no need for government. The people can just do it...

...and if they don't, that's the end of it. Magic isn't going to swoop in and save the day. The democratic government is nothing other than the very same people who have already decided that, in this scenario, they don't want to do anything.

But maybe what you're really struggling to say is that democracy wouldn't be found in a perfect world? Fair enough, but I'm still not sure that's the general consensus.
Pretty easy if you have no controversial opinions.

> Tires typically overtakes engine noise at about 25mph.

This is like saying "a person typically travels at 30MPH". It doesn't mean anything. An off-road truck with knobby tires is going to have more tire noise than a sedan with snow tires which will have more than the same sedan with low rolling resistance tires. An 80s muscle car will have more engine noise than a modern 4-cylinder sedan which will have more than an electric vehicle. A gasoline vehicle under acceleration (as in stop-and-go city traffic) will have much more engine noise at a given speed. Tire noise is affected by the roadway material in addition to the vehicle. Tire noise in a 4000 pound electric car might overtake "engine noise" at a lower speed than it does for a 4000 pound V8, but that's because it's quieter, not louder.

> When you hear a car pass by on a non-highway road, you're mostly hearing tires.

Then why does it make a "whoosh" sound?

> If wind is a serious factor either you need to publish your secret findings or link me to some research I'm not finding.

I suspect the problem here is that the studies are so old. Here's the relevant sentence from the Wikipedia article called Road Noise:

> Noise of rolling tires driving on pavement is found to be the biggest contributor of highway noise and increases with higher vehicle speeds.

For this sentence it has three citations. One discusses the effects of road material on tire noise and not tire noise relative to other noise, another lumps tire noise and aerodynamic noise into the same category. The third, which is presumably where it got the premise, is from 1973, when cars commonly used bias-ply tires, which are much louder.

But let's not lose track of the thread here. The premise is that electric cars would be louder. A Model 3 is ~4000 pounds, the same as a Ford Taurus, so that's not going to be louder. Some cars are lighter -- a Honda Accord is in the same class and is ~3200 pounds, only 80% as much. But then it has a gasoline engine, which is louder than an electric motor. Does the 20% weight difference cause more noise than the gasoline engine vs. the electric motor? Somebody would need a dB meter to even answer it, and that's rather the point. Either way the difference is going to be small and people are just looking for something to complain about.
I spend some time in Cogmind and can confirm that it is one of the most aesthetical pleasing ones.
