I have both and I prefer the Tiles.

99.9% of the time the network doesn’t matter because the item isn’t lost, I just don’t remember where I left it, and it’s either in range or wherever Tile shows the last known location to be. And even if it is lost, Tile app remembers it as being at the last place where I had it and my phone, which is practically always where I left it.

Airtag surely has better coverage, since like 50% of phones are helping, but the one time I actually lost something Tile found it. Someone had moved it so the location must have been uploaded by another Tile user. I use my Tiles daily to find my AirPods or a key set, I’ve used it once in years to find that (my Airpods case) when it fell out of my pocket in a park.

Tile is louder and easier to hear. Tile has several form factors, Airtag only has one, and honestly, any tile form factor is better than Airtags. I swear they picked the worst possible shape for it, it just has to make whatever you put it in bulge. You have to buy some sort of case to even use it most of the time, whereas a Tile can pop directly onto your key ring.

Airtag can’t ring my phone. I do that frequently.

I’ve used both extensively, I’ll keep buying Tiles. Or maybe one of these newer ones. I’d go so far as to say Airtag is only better at finding something that’s been stolen, and that’s just a tiny percent of the use cases. Tile is better in every other way.
The idea is that you're not doing that.

Having automatic updates enabled is not in fact the same thing as reloading all your cryptography code every single time you make a transaction. For a very recent and clear example of why, look what happened with xz, and note how you did not in fact get owned up (I'm sure someone did, but the odds are in my favor on this guess).

If you’re claiming it’s unsafe to view totality without protection, NASA disagrees with you:

Not true. It’s one of the most groundbreaking changes to self-education on just about any well-known topic. It’s like having a tutor who is available to ask endless questions and provide a variety examples. When I’m learning something new to me, it’s the first place I turn.
If I’m learning something critical, I do fact check ChatGPT, but it points me in the right direction.
It's much better to get a reply, even a negative one, than a vote either up or down.

It's not, it would make for a much noisier and much less interesting forum. The whole 'receipts for (or instead of!) downvotes' thing is driven by the (entirely real) unpleasantness of getting downvoted. Nobody ever asks for receipts for upvotes.

Google can (and has) ignored web standards/pushed their own features.

They are limited in what they can do today because every iPhone uses uses WebKit. e.g. Google _could_ do whatever they want today, but they'd miss out on iPhone uses.

Even assuming that Google is benevolent, it makes less sense for developers to target alternative web browsers if they don't have sufficient market share. Today most businesses support Chrome and WebKit (because they want those iPhone uses). If Chrome is dominant then it becomes self-reinforcing.

The market share for other browsers is minimal, so nobody is going to develop/test for other browsers, so the experience on other browsers becomes worse, so users are forced to use Chrome, so the market share for other browsers drops further.
Unless your database is in the browser, you are always going to be at mercy of network latencies talking to the backend.
"unforgivable level of puffery" seems like an overreaction.

Apple's total sales in 1978 [1] were only 30% higher than Vector's in 1979 [2]. Yeah, the industry growth at the time means comparing even consecutive years gets dicey, but I don't think the gap between the two was enormous at that point. Comparable to Apple in the late 70s sounds pretty major to me.

Also, it is reasonable to say "major" is an absolute description that just means "pretty big" not "one of the biggest". As you mention, their sales peak (IMO, past the company's relevance peak) is pretty big in absolute terms.

Extrapolating this disagreement into "much of the article may be false" is ... confusing.

You're just saying, even if all you were doing was fetching a static JSON blob from the memory of the frontend server, you'd still want load states, right? (That makes sense, I'm just checking my understanding.)
The article says "LiteFS supports roughly 100 writes per second".
Seems like there's a fair few other commenters who haven't had that issue as well. I'm also going with bad hardware or user error until you actually link to the issue or even say what distro you were using.

Did you try on different hardware, or on a different USB port, or with a different keyboard? Did you try a different distro? Which Window Manager was it? You mentioned decryption, what encryption was it, and how was that set up? By what method did you install the distro? Did you ever get it working? Could be a weird USB chipset on your motherboard.

It seems like an odd complaint, because most people don't have the problem you experienced.

I bought a Ryzen minipc and the wifi didn't work on it with a "fresh install" of Windows. I didn't just give up, I downloaded the drivers onto a USB stick and fixed it. It'd be nice if everything worked immediately, but unfortunately that's not the world we live in.

I'm defensive of Linux because without Linux we're trapped in whatever monetized and locked-down hell Windows and Apple are generous enough to provide us.

Sure Linux is not perfect but I'd still want it to succeed no matter how much effort it was to get a keyboard working. Also because I actually think Linux works really great for my purposes. I have to mess with it initially to get it working, but once it's working it rarely breaks and happily chugs on forever. No forced updates, no bullshit. I feel like I actually own my PC.

Just how I like it.

No matter what OS or hardware you buy, there's always issues. Blaming Linux overall because you had what I would definitely say is an uncommon issue that may even be due to your particular hardware seems... uncharitable.

While some languages are safe or safer now, the concerns of correctness and robustness are not solvable by unit testing or code coverage alone. Other holistic layers of smoke testing, property testing/fuzzing, integration testing, and user acceptance testing (UAT) must be included. Robustness means making the code defensible and easy to understand, test, refactor, and modify.

Where there is most deafening silence in the area of proving correctness of the codebase and of the resulting binaries. seL4, klee, fp, and coq ran in the right direction with this in some aspects, formal verification still hasn't become a standard practice because the level of effort is still costly and tools to accomplish this aren't readily available.
fill any empty space with water bottles, asap, to serve as a thermal mass. then don’t open it.
The University of Minnesota has advice for you!

https://extension.umn.edu/preserving-and-preparing/power-out...

The tl;dr:

• Having a fridge thermometer & a freezer thermometer are good.

• A full freezer, kept closed, can hold temperature for ≤48 hours. A half-full freezer, ≤24 hours. Fill your freezer. Ice (to fill up empty space) is your friend. You can make it, or buy it from the store.

• The fridge part, kept closed, can hold temperatures for ≤4 hours. Block ice can help extend that time. A fridge thermometer can be used (after power is back) to check if the temperature exceeded 40° F.

Block ice? It's exactly that, ice in the form of a large block. https://elitecooler.com/blogs/news/cooler-use-get-the-best-i... has more info on using it for keeping things cool.
The advantages I stated were

> It would allow using full spectrum lighting, and would be easier to selectively filter.

Making a broad spectrum IR filter is far easier than a notch filter for a single visible wavelength. In general it's harder to make more selective filters and an IR filter can be much less selective because the IR band is so large and far away from any visible light.

Also the infrared version would allow using any color background including black, and the on set lighting would appear to the eye exactly as it does to the camera. With the sodium vapor process the bright yellow background would make everything on set look different in person because the eye wouldn't be able to subtract it the way the camera does.

Yes, you would need a filter on any incandescent light. But this is also true of the sodium vapor process. Actually I'm not sure anyone makes a sodium vapor wavelength notch filter suitable for putting in front of an incandescent light. Consequently, as seen in the video, they restricted themselves to special LED lights that emit essentially only three wavelengths. These are very much not full spectrum and will not produce natural colors for some materials. And they had to completely block all windows, whereas for IR you could just install some IR blocking film on the windows and still use natural sunlight.
Pure Todo[1].

It's a dead simple web todo list organizer with QR-Code based user auth, list-management, REST API and vanilla JS UI in a single PHP and about 10 css and js files. I wanted something simple with no frameworks that works on mobile and desktop for accessing it basically everywhere.

I chose PHP for backend, because it is simple to host. Intentionally I planned all in one single file, which turned out to be too complex, so I extracted at least the css and js :-)

I don't know, when Nico gets excited about a project, I suspect it's genuine. It's part of why I watch the channel.

His employees, (Wren especially), give off a silly fake enthusiasm vibe (or maybe he's just like that, and that's why he got hired, I don't know) but Nico only really shows up in the videos he wants to make. Guy seems like he's getting to live out his dream. The videos he spearheads are both technically impressive and time-consuming, such as Anime Rock Paper Scissors, which was a groundbreaking use of AI diffusion models a year ago, or this one.

My daughters school supplies eclipse glasses, and when she got home she said her eyes hurt (but she’s a kinder so even just not blinking could be what’s going on)

Her school gave her Frey branded eclipse glasses, probably bought from this site which no longer lists them https://www.schoolspecialty.com/

They seem equal to our B&H glasses using the phone light, but it’s lacking the ISO logo (it does print the standard) nor does it have where it was made. Hopefully it’s okay, but I kind of expected schools to look for a validated distributor, and I’m not convinced this is one.
This would pretty much block subpoenas for user data, since the server doesn't have it.
> Their own husbands were resentful of their success. Despite being direct beneficiaries of it.

What partner, male or female, isn't resentful of that kind of success even when benefitting from it? To get there requires a complete domination of time and, it turns out, partners tend to dislike being ignored. Since you mentioned Steve Jobs, there is much the same story about the mother of his first child. Their relationship is told to have come to an end because Jobs was putting all of his attention on Apple instead, and she also expressed feeling unacknowledged for her contributions to the Apple story.

If you dig into the lives of any successful founder on that kind of level, it is likely you will find the same story over and over, regardless of gender. Nothing unusual here.
Which wallet? Thanks!
Sure, enough of almost anything is dangerous.

NIR is much safer than the visible spectrum at the same power levels. The threshold for a few minutes of high-intensity NIR increasing your chance of eventual cataracts is staring at an NIR source 10x brighter (w/cm^-1) than the sun integrated across all its wavelengths. The threshold for sun-colored wavelengths causing eventual cataracts above the baseline from a few minutes of staring is under 1x.

Also worth noting, very very near IR (basically red, though we can't see it) doesn't quite enjoy those same properties, and during their time working with hot metal you'd expect a lot of energy in that band.

Also worth noting, many steel workers are exposed to dangerous amounts of visible light too. I absolutely believe that they can get enough NIR to cause problems, but if I wanted to try to prove that NIR specifically causes their problems to somebody else then I'd want to try to account for that fact (and for incidental welder exposure, ...).
Yup, exactly. Phones change wifi networks, routers drop packets, load balancers get overloaded. Hard to fully eliminate tail latencies.
DEI is a counterweight to unconscious bias, which, as far as I've seen, is still way more of a factor in hiring than DEI.
Yeah, says Forbidden in firefox or curl but loads in chromium - welcome to the open web of browser interoperability etc etc where servers now just decide your user agent or tls handshake or whatever is fishy.
WAL2 + BEGIN CONCURRENT

...to pretty much eliminate write contention. I know, it sucks these aren't built in yet.

Also if we got some sort of router + map reduce helper (Vitess, Citus -like) it'd make massively distributed SQLite a lot more viable. Setups that don't hammer a single master would make all the difference.

Postgres' main disadvantage at scale is all the additional machinery required (backups, failover, proxy, no DDL replication with built-in logical replication .... UGH!!), even when you're using Citus. Feels like it forces you into k8s with the amount of orchestration you need to run.
Tons of companies out there still do "culture fit" interviews because they are very intentionally trying to hire a mono-culture.
Information gain in the brain's resting state: A perspective on autism (2013)
Firefox used to be more friendly to these Weirdo / Nerd types, partly because the community was made of these people and they fixed the problems. That's apparently no longer true, maybe because Chrome/Chromium has a Linux version, vs. IE at 2000s.
> The voice-over _clearly_ says: "when two particles are entangled _they can influence each other_ no matter the distance", which is super wrong. If you have two spin entangled particles and you change the spin of one, the spin of the other does not change, there is no influence, only correlation.

Sounds like you subscribe to the Copenhagen interpretation, whereas they’re using a Bohm interpretation.
Lots of the big tech companies do interviews with randos first and then do a “team match” round if the candidate passes. I don’t see how it helps with disabilities.
>The problem is to think this bias is only there when I'm listening to someone who I disagree with

I'd argue the bigger problem is rampant "what-aboutism" that infects virtually every discussion these days. What does the NYT or WaPo have to do with Musk, Brazil, or this situation? The subject is Musk. Why broaden the discussion this way to "even out" things for him?

In any case, I was responding to the OP who asked why this article would be considered divisive. My answer is that some (including myself) don't deem Musk/Greenwald to be honest brokers. Musk and his allies have a distinct pattern of supporting certain narratives and rejecting others, while claiming to be champions of free speech and freedom.
Being blind must. It's evolution pressure, not evolutionary dead-end.
Most apps never need to scale. Also, worried about scaling? Just use an ORM that allows you to switch from SQLite to Postgres. It’s as simple as that.
"The divergence between the input noise and the brain's ongoing activity extracted from our stochastic model was significantly higher in autistic relative to non-autistic children. This suggests that brains of subjects with autism create more information at rest. We propose that the excessive production of information in the absence of relevant sensory stimuli or attention to external cues underlies the cognitive differences between individuals with and without autism. We conclude that the information gain in the brain's resting state provides quantitative evidence for perhaps the most typical characteristic in autism: withdrawal into one's inner world."

For the longest time I wanted to learn another keyboard layout, in the 80s and 90s it was Dvorak, but vi motion keys kept me from doing it. I didn't like any of the solutions (remap, switch to qwerty for command mode, whatever)... But I always felt like I was "leaving money on the table" by not learning something better.

I've decided somewhat recently that I'm just fine with qwerty, any money that I'm leaving on the table is probably fairly small because I think slower than I type...

Some of that change in perspective may have been a coworker who used Dvorak, and watching that dude type was a seriously painful experience.

You could implement geographic taints and tolerations and constrain certain workloads to certain regions. Lots of places span clusters across several AZs and have the same problem in theory. However I don’t personally like it, because you’re engineering a cross-datacenter failure domains which is usually a bad design decision unless done for specific reasons. And as for the the control plane, for it to reliably span multiple locations while also tolerating failures, you now have to deal with all kinds of weird split brain scenarios, so most just run multiple clusters instead of rewriting k8s for this kind of design.
Many many people are never going to buy houses. I've never owned a house. Probably never will. I've never owned a new car, either, and I'm older than dirt. Some commenters had good counter examples, but those seemed to me like the main reasons to "need" a good credit score.

> Mostly based on a kind of strange apparent outlier of accounts going idle (1+ year) in 2023

Well, it is just outliers in 2023. This is an upward trend since 2020.

> but the binning is also a full year and the 'idle year' is counted in a weird clippy (i.e. looking at calendar year rather than elapsed year) way

Granted, and I acknowledge this limitation. My idea, however, is that when studying many users in the same manner, this will even out. Why? Because a full calendar year implies somewhere between 0-2 elapsed years. So the average elapsed year, over many users, is 1 year.
