> But the fuzzy edges are what kills it

Why? Everything has fuzzy edges. If you think fuzzy edges are fatal you won't be able to communicate about anything in the real world.

Thanks for the reference, but it's not really what you claimed. It's not that they don't have a word for "green", it's that they don't have separate words for "green" and "blue", so they use the same word for both. That is not quite the same as not having a word for "green".

You can see the same phenomenon in English. We have separate words for "orange" and "brown" even though they are actually the same hue just with different luminosities. Brown is just a dark orange.
If youre so tired, why bother to comment in the first place? Why not simply ignore the post and read something else?
Love it! I will definitely try to make these a part of my lifestyle.

Latency is really important for live audio at shows, so that was probably the priority.
Google will do whatever makes them profit. They've made it pretty clear that nothing controversial in any way is allowed on youtube. Best find some place else to distribute information.
The first paragraph introduces the idea of a comprehensive initiative for an "all of the above" mobile ecosystem, listing out the key pieces of that ecosystem.

Then there's a lot of mission statement and vision statement type things that appear to be directed at a broad audience, But then specifically they say this:

>F-Droid will play a major role in this project, tasked with creating a decentralized distribution system for developers to deliver apps to Android users.

It feels like that's kind of what F-droid does already (sans decentralization, unless we regard the capability of custom repos as adequate to the task).

So I get the vision, I get the idea of it being under the umbrella of some broader project that's about other aspects of the mobile ecosystem such as operating systems, cloud services, and so on. I'm not sure what's different but I welcome the spirit of the initiative and I suppose that's the important thing.

There's an interstate underneath, which is the reason there's a complicated intersection at all. Building another bridge level might be safer for pedestrians, but also more expensive in construction and maintenance, plus now you need to worry about clearance. Perhaps building a footbridge over the interstate a bit down the road could help, but then it adds a detour...there's a tradeoff in each of the cases.
I think you're conflating a few things.

Passwords being leaked is due to noobs and idiots in charge of systems, and probably not using an actual auth provider.

It really isn't that hard.

1. Send secure information over SSL. If some noob-tier dev decides that's too advanced for them, congrats I guess for being stupid.

2. Store passwords with hashing and salting. If you use an auth provider, like auth0 or firebase even, they will do this for you because they're not noobs. A noob-tier dev who stores plaintext passwords in a database with insecure connection and postgres:postgres is again stupid af.

Most of those leaked passwords are because of this. And don't think some Fortune 500 is not stupid. They outsource their development to Accenture or Detoilette, or any of the other outsourcers where they pay some "Software Architect" $8/hr to secure banking information (while charging the client $150/hr). I'm not throwing shade, but these companies are cheap af and throw bodies at the problem instead of experience and brains. I have direct experience with this, so I know how bad it is.

Don't confuse people being stupid (very common, 90% of any population) with a failure in a technology that others who don't understand it claim makes it inferior or something.

The internet and all the technology you use today is glued together by the <10% of people who actually understand computers, networking, and problem solving.

Just because a noob-dev uses session tokens doesn't mean it will be any secure if they fail those 2 points I mentioned. Those are so deadass simple to mitigate, anyone who purposefully skips on them should be named and shamed, and receive a 10 year cooldown from being a software developer.
Interestingly, chat gpt 4o gave me the answer 15.
I’m stuck here picturing these two efforts combined.
I've been making scented candles. Its easy enough to get started but there's enough complexity to it to keep things interesting. If I didn't need money I'd just do that all the time and build it into a small business (that didn't need to make money, since I'm sure it wouldn't haha)

So they receive the same sort of anesthesia as a surgery patient? When I asked other doctors about this I was told the patient was given some things to control blood pressure, etc, but not anesthesia, as it would be 'wasted'.

edit: I admit I didn't read the article, I get queasy reading about that sort of stuff.
There's a bit less than 3000 billionaires, are you sure you're not just hearing about a very vocal minority?

Not to mention survivorship bias, the ones that reach that kind of wealth like money more than (other people's) life itself, often quite literally.
I'd open a bakery and make fresh sourdough bread, pizzas, focaccia and pasta every single day, and give it away for cost.
I believe F-Droid is operating under a series of grants totaling €4.4 million for the next two years. This release is probably directed at the various groups funding them.

I hope they succeed but I wish they were using something other than Android. A by-Europeans-for-Europeans project shouldn't be based on an American OS IMHO.

The iPad is the „you’re holding it wrong“ philosophy applied to the whole OS. The problem is Apple is unable to make tradeoffs, which is exemplified by the lack of a calculator app because „you can’t just take the iPhone calculator and resize it for the iPad“ (yes you can and it’s better than not having a calculator so at all).
Interesting stuff. I like the idea of giving each device its own network. How does this interact with things like casting to a TV or printing to a printer?
Agreed. The abstractions on top of parquet are quite immature yet, though, and lots of software assumes that if you use Parquet - you also use Hive, Spark and stuff.

Take Apache Iceberg for example. It is essentially a specification to how to store parquet files for efficient use and exploration of data, but the only implementation... depends on Apache Spark!
I guess a phone's camera can be used to count the RPM, e.g. by filming the label and counting how many milliseconds it needs to do a full rotation (1818ms for a 33 RPM record)
Thank you for your explanation. It's helpful to see another perspective on 'understanding'.
Decentralized mobile app distribution for Android.

For my part I feel perfectly clear on what the "it" is but I'm a little unclear on how it's in a different from what F-Droid already does.
It all depends what your privacy threat model is.

There are very few organisations capable of identifying the human user behind a Mullvad connection with a VM.

If you're worried about local law enforcement or advertisers it's probably enough.
I'd work on whatever my current hobby is. The actual hobby changes over time.
Currently, my hobby is maintaining/repairing cars. If I had more time (and space), I'd restore old cars and/or build a track car (and of course use it on track).

Unfortunately the time and space limits means I don't even have the time to finish my very long TODO list on my own car.
That's easy. Writing books and researching curiosities.

I have dozens of book ideas, from novels to reference volumes. My research would at least partially focus on energy/power generation/storage, and partially on current scientific mysteries in our reality.

Ideally, such work could help enrich humanity. Make the world better in some way. Sadly, unless I win a lottery tomorrow or a wealthy person issues me a grant, some of this work won't get done.
Add "running out of CO2" and "the atmosphere thins too much" to the list. I don't know when those could happen, but they've been happening slowly for billions of years, and they will finish happening eventually, most likely well before the Sun's output gets too high.

Load the module: https://hexdocs.pm/gleam_otp/gleam/otp/task.html

import gleam/otp/task

How modules work is covered by the language tour, and to do something interesting you'll probably want more than just the task module. The concurrency stuff isn't as fleshed out in Gleam as it is in Elixir or Erlang, as I understand it because it's not the project's focus and due to how the type system works.
I strongly disagree with your thinking that the author can't make a better case. The previous sentence before the one you quote is this:

> Freedom Project’s executive director at the time was David Heppard who was convicted as a teenager for taking part in the gang rape of a pregnant seventeen-year-old.

And here's what the author COULD have said:

> On February 18, 1994, Heppard and five of his friends spotted a five-months pregnant 17-year-old who is referred to in court filings as “J.H.” Cecil Morton III, one of Heppard’s co-defendants, proposed raping J.H. Morton stopped the car and he, Heppard, and a third member of the group forced the pregnant girl into the back seat. She begged them not to hurt her and Morton threatened her into silence with a machete; someone in the vehicle told her that if she didn’t shut up, they would kill her unborn baby.

> They drove her into the woods where five or six of them raped her orally and vaginally. J.H. was then forced back into the vehicle completely naked and was ordered to direct them to her apartment. Some of the boys threatened that if she failed to do so, they would murder her and dismember her corpse.

> Along the way, Heppard orally sodomized the terrified girl a second time and she was raped by two of his co-defendants upon their arrival. As the pregnant 17-year-old girl was being raped for the third time that night, the boys who weren’t otherwise occupied robbed her apartment, stealing a number of items belonging to her and her boyfriend. They then left the apartment, telling her that if she ratted them out, they would come back to kill her.

> Once the boys were gone, their victim called a friend, who contacted the police on her behalf. Coincidentally, Heppard and his partners in crime were pulled over by Pierce County police officers at the same time the rape was reported. A call came over their radio regarding the assault, but the cops did not make the connection between the rape and the teenagers they were questioning; however, the rapists heard the report and were now aware that their victim had contacted the police. Heppard and Morton allegedly began plotting to have the girl murdered, but were arrested before she could be silenced.
That's a pretty reductive take. Is the European Court of Human Rights "More Euro governance, bleh"?
I think I would want to work on an open source video game engine or a CPU.

In a world where nobody had to worry about money, I think we’d have trouble getting enough people together to work on a very good CPU. And I don’t know enough to do it on my own. But I think I’d enjoy tinkering with it, even if I got a very poor result.
Temporarily at best. If I invent fire and lock it down so that only my grill can use it, while also releasing feel good propaganda to convince people that it is the only way fire works, yes it’s more beneficial than not for a time. As society grows around the concept, the artificial limitations begin hindering the elevated stage more than helping.

These companies have convinced unwitting masses that this is in their long-term best interests. I assure you it is not. It is about being controlled, and the invisible limitations placed on an individual when they grow to love their chains.
This article is so insulting to anyone suffering from a psychiatric illness. The reason people "cling" to labels, is because when you're suffering from something as severe and difficult to live with in normal society such as complex/chronic PTSD, answering the question "What the hell is wrong with you?" becomes extremely difficult without these labels, and will drive one to despair trying to explain and maintain normal relationships. That's why people are so happy finally being given one, because they themselves have had no real explanation for a long time to their friends/family as to what's going on, get labeled as "crazy" or "unstable" or all the other million horrible words people use to describe someone undergoing mental issues. This isn't even to mention that these labels are often useful in obtaining the care you actually need rather than the care the doctor thinks you need based on his biases, which may or may not be correct (often it isn't).

More than that though, using the PTSD example - it becomes an identity because when you suffer from something like that it informs every waking moment of your existence and needs to be considered before nearly any activity. How else would you expect someone to cope? That is their identity, they have to live with it every day of their lives, unlike the author of this ludicrous, puffy "thought" piece.

It's more likely a correction on interest rates combined with lack of supply. It will even out, it's not a failure of the system. If more houses are build then value gets diluted, private capital can't keep buying up all the "extra" supply. Rates will also need to drop and more people can buy, as people include "that payment is more than I can afford" every bit as much as "this house costs $X"

> If you ask a user if they're willing to share crash reports only to improve the reliability of the software, I'd bet most people would be ok with this.

You do realize the majority of people are completely oblivious as to why privacy matters as it relates to their data collection.

It's not that they're willing to do anything. It's that they're passive/apathetic when faced with vague prompts telling them about a matter they don't have insight on, after being bombarded by terms of service agreements, cookie pop ups, etc for years and years.

> This is a fair position to take, but assuming good faith all round, one that I think will typically be a minority.

If they were aware of privacy implications / exactly what's being collected on them and how that data is being used, then it's safe to say that they'd be the majority. Can't blame them for not taking the time to read into the matter either, as most outside of tech are wrapped up with a million other hostilities in their daily lives.

Defend it all you want, but it's just one more unethical thing screwing people over.
> Sounds like you would like to help people activate their BS detectors.

Yes, exactly.

This is the problem. There is no such thing as an easy-to-detect example for someone who does not already have a well-developed BS detector. You might want to read this:

Looks amazing and useful for me! The links don’t take me to the app store on my iphone and the app name is not in the heading I need to scroll past the copy to find what to search for. Minor annoyance but for some reason annoyed me a lot. That annoyance led me to hate the copy as I was searching for the app name and tried to skim the text. This is probably the first time I write any feedback to internet. I am usually not one that does that kind of thing haha. Ok, now I will search and install the app. I bet it’s great.
I used to define `Maybe` in C as a macro over a tagged union. It really unveiled a number of logic errors at compile-time, but the issue of course is to use this kind of metaprogramming sanely. E.g., instantiating `Maybe` to some other macro `T(a)`, where `a` is some other (concrete) type, would already cause a headache.
Isn't this just an android distro though? So just supporting the Google side.
> you only have to store expired sessions (until their time-limit expires) rather than every session).

I don’t know of any companies that even do this. As far as I know, most use cases store nothing, except for of course the client storing the response.
I'm skeptical; you have no idea whether a random song from a record player is in tune or not, without a reference copy of that song from digital media.

Is this zeroing in on traces of 60 cycle hum in the recording?

Or else, won't it adjust an out-of-tune song to be in concert pitch? (Mind you, that would be extremely useful if you're playing along with the track and don't want to adjust your instrument, or cannot do so.)

To get it to the correct speed, I would go through my record collection and find a tune with long, sustained notes. Find the same tune on Youtube and get a pitch reference for the note using a digital tuner. Then adjust the record player to match the pitch on that note, down to 1/10 of a Hz precision.

(In the first place, why would you have a record player without a built-in strobe light for adjusting the speed in 2024, when this was a common item even in lower income households in 1984.)

I don't think there is really one answer to this. I'd be surprised if people's hobbies and interests are really this stable across a lifetime. If you'd have asked me five years ago, all my hobbies were very close to my actual job and I'd have been building compute labs and writing infrastructure orchestration software for fun. Ten years ago, I was more into amateur data analytics and I'd have at least wanted to try setting up my own BCS computer ranking for NCAA football. 20 years ago, it would have been photography and travel writing. Right now, I'd be all-in on personal athletics, trying to continue lifting and rehab my old fledgling habits of climbing and swimming, but mostly doubling down on running since it's what I'm best at and it consumes a lot of time anyway. I'd also love to get involved in big cat rescue, but with the success pumas are already having in the Americas, the need is probably mostly in Eurasia and Africa and I don't think I'd want to leave the only continent I've ever called home. Family still matters. I'd move closer to them, not farther.

Given all this history, I'm definitely not going to pretend I have any idea what I'm going to want to do when I actually retire. I'm also not alone. What I really end up doing is contingent on not disupting whatever my wife wants to do.

Maybe a better question for me would be what I would stop spending time working on. I'd continue doing what I currently do, but I'd cut out some of the things that come with the job that no sane person would do other than for the pay. For instance, I would still be doing research, which I view as very important, but I'd do more research and wouldn't mess around with the peer review process. I'd be writing open source software that would help others do their research too. I'd write textbooks and give them away for free. I wouldn't be doing administrative work of any kind, and I wouldn't waste time on a lot of the stuff I do at home.
I think it's less about colleges and more about the major.

> But we did not invent transistors from quantum physics -- we created transistors long before we had an explanation of how they worked, and we have continued to improve and iterate by making advances in material sciences and experimentation, not by applying first principles. Things like blue LEDs were invented by tinkering rather than by solving Lagrangians.

In a similar spirit ships were built, steam engines made and applications of superconductivity imagined long before the objects were understood from first principles. Creation often proceeded theory nevertheless it is still useful for optimizing designs at later stages.
I've met people who were born into enough money they never needed to work, and a lot of them are just pretty normal people sans jobs. I think the interesting question here would be how would you live if you had enough without working, but little enough that you still had to think about how to stretch it over a lifetime. E.g. are you flying first class to spend a few days skiing in the Alps this weekend? Probably not, but you can make sandwiches and go for a hike instead of clocking in to work.
The EU right now tries to shoehorn surveillance of every encrypted form of messaging into law. Without public discussion, against recommendation of all experts and with duplicious goals.

EU "citizens" aren't allowed to hand in complaints if their rights are violated for that matter, the institutions that would rule over that aren't open to the normal citizen and their independence is questionable too.

If you are lucky, there are national safeguards, demonstrating nations to still be preferable to supranational organizations. Admittedly perhaps the exception of China and quite a few other countries.

The real constant here is old people being scared.
