I recently got this phone, and it really sparked joy.

It does everything I need to function in 2024 (messaging people, navigating cities, managing tickets, NFC payments etc), while not tempting me into the dark/addictive side of smartphones.

Only problem is mine seems to be defective. After some time of usage everything hangs and I need to restart it, sometimes 4-5 times a day. Other people I know don’t have the issue. Luckily they’re cheap!
Many school districts now have policy against praising achievement for fear of being accused of marginalizing underachieving students, so underachievement becomes a safe norm.
On the other hand, people tend to crank up the brightness on "dark mode" themes.
Vanishingly few people I know in real life use Twitter. The issue I had mostly wasn't random algorithm stuff - I used the mute button a _lot_ - it's people I previously respected and enjoyed reading the content of falling further and further into the "post hot takes and controversial opinions for engagement" trap.

Twitter rewards replies and engagement, and all that happened is people starting posting stuff that made other people angry, and then fanned the flames in the comments. It's what got me to leave Twitter permanently.
Many school districts are still feeling the full effects of parents who were "educated" during the "Leave No Child Behind" era.
Unfortunately some people will bring up these kind of topics no reasonable person is against (climate change, racism, accessibility, etc.) to support their pre-conceived notion, whether it makes sense or not. We might call this "playing the climate change card".

Good idea, but in my opinion that information really only needs to be added if it is significantly long ago, such as when appending a parenthesized year to a title.
While these are nice tips, I'm not sure that I learnt much about organising large Rust codebases. I'm not very familiar with Rust, but the tip of not putting things in mod/lib seems similar to not putting code (other than visibility/aggregation) in `__init__.py` – something I'd advocate for on any Python codebase of any size. The directory structure tips seem ok.

As for versioning dependencies together at the top level, again I'm unfamiliar with Rust, but this tip seems too specific. I've seen large codebases where having different dependency versions was fairly important or even a core use-case. It's nice if it's possible, but the bigger the codebase the more this will necessarily come into question.

I'd love to see more detail about things like the design of internal APIs that works well for large Rust codebases, approaches to ownership that help scale the codebase, approaches to testing that work or don't work in Rust specifically.

The DPRK introduced new banknotes in the late 2000s. They're reasonably modern and colourful. They don't look as technically sophisticated as some countries' notes with foil strips and polymer stock, but they don't look wildly out of date.

You used to be able to get a set off eBay for like $25, and sometimes uncut sheets of the older series, but I haven't looked in years.

Fun fact: it's probably easier to collect a reasonable type set of North Korean notes than South Korean. The Southern collection has a lot of hard roadblock notes-- a lot of notes that were replaced by the end of the 1960s and 1970s, so quality examples are expensive and rare, and one famous type from 1962 that circulated for less than a month before being flash withdrawn.
The problem is that these type of very much needed but boring new features don‘t grant you a promotion. But if you work on a GenAI product right now the odds are in your favour.

I've read somewhere that they sold several millions of them in the US alone. Is that not enough to make a profit?

But I think they could sell it with a slower CPU (cheaper) and it would still be fine. People who want a smaller phone probably have a computer at home.

I’ve had astigmatism ever since a laser eye surgery. It’s unnoticeable 95% of the time, but every site that forces dark mode on me makes it immediately obvious. I immediately find a light switch or leave.

What you are describing is not the current incarnation of Anonymous, but rather its celebrated heritage.

As of 2024, any sponsored social media campaign by corporate actors, for example, can don the Guy Fawkes mask and claim popular support.

I see this on a daily basis on social media. Quite often the group calling itself "Anonymous Collective" or somesuch appears to be big oil, spouting anti-government rhetoric.
The real Anonymous would point out corporate levers behind governmental acts, etc.
This is not a matter of opinion. Always clean up after yourself, the kernel doesn't know shit about your application or what state it's in, you can not rely on it to cleanly terminate your process. Just because it's a child process (by default it's a forked process!) not a thread, doesn't mean it can not have shared resources. It can lead to deadlocks, stuck processes, all kinds of resource leaks, data and stream corruption, orphaned processes, etc. etc.
In a future post, I would love to see a discussion of organizing your software abstractions, rather than just organizing files. For example, id love to know some ideas around keeping prior versions of structs around when you are partially upgrading some schema or other. Or about when to use macros to automate in-repo cleanups.

Rust is definitely a beast when managing 200K+ LOC codebases and just managing compiler woes becomes a challenge. Not to mention dealing with issues with compiler targets, feature flags, etc. It definitely goes deeper than file structure.
The S22 is notorious for the poor battery life. The S23, for example, is pretty much the same size, faster, and the battery lasts significantly longer.
Buffet isn’t a passive investor. Berkshire Hathaway have often taken a very active role in the running of their acquisitions - appointing managers, setting strategy, merging/splitting off subsidiaries, etc. This is as much managing as investing. If Buffet was a pure stock picker, then he would be an interesting case in the active vs passive investment debate.
It's wild how the Overton window has shifted for the worse. Back in 2015-2016, supporting Trump was politically incorrect because of what he theoretically might do. Now after he actually tried to do the thing, the floodgates seem to have opened and all the scum have given each other confidence to come out showing their true colours.
how does this actually happen, at the classroom level? Are the kids actually going to school or is it a case they show up and basically teacher can't control what's going in the room?
Yup, navigating history and checking-out commits at will is VCS ground-level. It's mind-blowing that git managed to make it unnecessarily complex by distinguishing "commits" from "commits with a label on them" (aka. branches), and putting in-your-face warnings when generating new commits in the former case (whereas the DAG itself doesn't care).
I know about Rye package manager since last year. I've made a rye(lang) blogspot and github repository in 2020. I try to use term ryelang in general so there is a distinction. Otherwise, what can I do. I have no spare name and reason to rename right now, at the end, a name is just a name ...

The article tell us that input validation is okay but argues against input sanitization. I.e., if there is obvious garbage in the input tell the user that the input is wrong and don't store it and also do not try to correct it. That seems good advice in most cases. Your example of point less spaces is good though. I think it is generally a good idea to remove those.

If you haven't had your vision checked recently, might be a good idea to do so because it sounds like you may have astigmatism.

I've been slowly developing it as I get older and one of the most noticeable effects to me is that bright objects on dark backgrounds are becoming blurrier over time. It's most noticeable with lights when driving at night, but I've started to notice it when using dark mode without any additional lighting in the room.

"It's easy to be a saint in paradise."

DS9 was really good. But all the shade it threw at the underlying premise was still to reinforce it, not break it. Where any other show would take e.g. the above case of the Federation governance being out of touch with needs of their constituents near the border, and deconstruct it six ways to Sunday in most cynical of fashions, DS9 made the paradise something good, if fragile, and worth fighting for, worth aiming to have here - whether "here" is out there in lthe frontier colonies, or back today in the 21th century real-world. That's why I still say it was an aspirational show, if much darker, and worked to reinforce TNG instead of deconstructing it.

I have the jelly star and I do use this feature. It's useful if the remote is missing and you need to adjust the volume or something.

I aslo used it when I was working away from home and was trying to plug my laptop into a TV HDMI port. I had no remote and couldn't switch the input manually but was able to do it with the phone.

It might not be a lot but I certainly saw tweets from Elon frequently until I muted him. I didn't follow him. I noticed this explicitly because he is so prominent but I feel that my feed has plenty of tweets from people I don't follow.
Regarding harmless stuff like pointless spaces.

I know a person who uses two spaces between his first and last name, because his culture users a second given name yet he has none. So, one space between the first given name and the second (nonexistent) given name, then another space between the second (nonexistent) given name and the family name.

You might think it is weird or unnecessary, but that is his identity. One could counter with far weirder or seemingly unnecessary things we accept regarding peoples' identity today.

You can. There are a lot of open source projects that solicit donations, and if you talk to the developers you will find out that practically none of them get donations that would support even a single developer.

The only thing that seems to somewhat work is Patreon, which seems to work fine for some developers that are good marketers, but even there the number of creators that can support themselves is very small, and I don't know of any Patreons that support more than a single person.

To support a browser, you need a team, and there is no plausible way to pay for that team with donations.

It's not that nobody has tried financing open source with donations, it's just that nobody has found a way to make it work yet.
> Anderson put the probability of this type of outcome at 10-15 per cent...He added that the path was likely to be volatile and that he would not be surprised if Nvidia had one or more drawdowns of 35-40 per cent

I'm not sure the Hendrik Bessembinder research (that 4 per cent of stocks accounted for all the net wealth creation) can be used to justify selecting a few stocks - 4% is still over 1000 companies.
However well Nvidia does in the next decade it has probably delivered most of its wealth creation in its ~1000 fold increase in the past 2 decades.

> Bessembinder found that all of the $35 trillion in wealth that stocks created over and above Treasury bills returns between 1926 and 2016 could be attributed to just 1,092 companies, or 4.3 percent of the nearly 26,000 stocks that have been traded in the markets. More than half of the $35 trillion came from just 90 companies, or less than one-third of 1 percent.

What's the point of ULID again? People say one use case of UUIDs is that clients are able to generate the (random) primary key. Fair enough, I guess... Then they say autoincremental ids are bad because it could give indication about business activity (like how many orders have been done in a time frame). But with ULID or UUIDv7, this "benefit" is gone to some degree because timestamp is included.

If client-generation is not needed, then UUID is stupid to begin with, because any incremental id can be transformed ("encrypted") to arbitary different format (which hides the real id). Also UUID is usually much larger: Waste of db/index space, degraded performance. But I guess if people push everything in the cloud, they don't even realize they are paying more than needed...

Conclusion: I don't understand what you people are trying to "solve". All those different UUID versions leads me to believe the issue is not the id, but developer confusion.

> It seems that the article is trying to intentionally mislead its readers to think that those 130M adults don't possess literacy skill in any language that they use, while the underlying study only looks at literacy skill in English.

Yet the article says:

So maybe it's a matter of some readers trying to intentionally mislead themselves and others about what the article says.
Yes ... Rye is syntax-wise in similar camp than Lisps, only without parenthesis. Some say Lisp has no syntax (which is debatable), but has a point that there are no syntax rules. There are multiple token types and they always combine / apply in the same ways, there are no special forms like "how to define a function" or "how to write and if else". In Rye calling if or eihter (if/else) is no different than calling any other function.

I am all for having them in the language, however the way they have been designed, or how the new magic fields for structure aligment (in Go 1.23) are being designed, this shows how attacking other languages as PhD level complexity and then coming out with such special case designs, is kind of ironic.

I give it 10 more years of such special cased improved, for Go not to be any better than the languages the community regularly complains about, while Go is "perfect".

In my case, it always been garbage. Speech to text doesn't require AI when you do it like Microsoft did it in the aughts; ever since "new, better", cloud-side techniques came along, the technology got worse, and the only meaningful qualitative improvement I've seen in two decades is in the last two years, with new-generation models which may or may not be backed by LLMs now.

I always wonder what it means to have low literacy. I seem to be able to read, but my spelling has always been bad. Am I low, or just below average?

I know I am not stupid, and at least when it comes to software and computers are probably far above average. I always find my self in weird situations working with people who can spell and spot spelling errors so easy, but I am the one explaining how to do something technical or resolve a complex bug in software or how computers / compilers, or computer languages actually work under the hood.

So all that to say, what is literacy? And what part of it do you need to be successful?

Bass ackwards defensive hot take.

The above comment should not be grayed out, yours should.

You are placing your political fantasies above reality on the ground.

It is absolutely factually correct to describe Texas political and electrical administration as
- anthropogenic climate change denialist

- corruptly in thrall to fossil fuel, including 'natural' gas plant expansion where the actual grid is the issue

- averse to integrating with the electrical grid from nearby states, as others do, and averse to standards and standards compliance.

The number of people moving to Texas and your instant deflection towards California bashing are unacceptable in a mature conversation on this topic.

In the Netherlands it is very common to have both crosswalks and bike priority lanes on the roundabout, especially in busy city environments. This actually improves safety, as the 'vulnerable' road users cross when drivers are driving slow and alert. Also, the access to the roundabout is slowed down by the crosswalks and bike lane, which improves safety for the drivers as well.
> more than half of Americans between the ages of 16 and 74 (54%) read below the equivalent of a sixth-grade level.

This is framed as a bad thing, as if it is somehow self-evident that sixth-graders are intellectually deficient and illiterate. But if you turn it around as "sixth graders read about as well as the median adult," it doesn't sound so bad anymore, does it?

In any case, criticism of recent education policies based on the observation that the standards in school are higher than they are for adults is missing the point, unless you want to argue that the standards are too high.
They can't, obviously. Is this some kind of trick question?

Your location can be used for ad targeting in other contexts. For example if you granted location permission to google.com in your browser, Google gets your location at the time you do a query and uses it both to provide relevant results and to target ads. And if you have search history on, I assume that location snapshot would be saved along with the query in search history, which Google can see. But the comprehensive and much more detailed "Location History" that is collected constantly in the background (when enabled) can't be seen by Google anymore.
