I don't understand what any of your comment has to do with this thread, which is about security models and application sources.

That said,

> You can have a pinephone, and it will work fine for like 2 hours, warming like hell, and having you wait for minutes for an app to open. That’s where the linux userspace is.

No, that's where the pinephone hardware is. I mean, also it sounds like maybe you have a defective unit because mine doesn't do what you're describing, but this is like judging Android by the cheapest phone I can buy, which is also agonizingly slow. If you don't use a device built out of really old+cheap parts, ex. postmarketos is perfectly fine.
Having someone else do something for you is an impediment to learning anything.
Blue and Green in Taiwan do not relate to environmentalism, they relate to the position of the party with respect to the mainland.
Leaning on SO was always the inevitable conclusion, though. "Write once" (however misinterpreted that may be) + age discrimination fearmongering hindering the transfer of knowledge from skilled seniors to juniors + the increasingly brutal competition to secure one's position by producing, producing, producing. With the benefit of the doubt and the willingness to cut/build in slack all dead, of course "learning how to do it right" is a casualty. Something has to give, and if no one's willing to volunteer a sacrifice, the break will happen wherever physically or mechanically convenient.
So if everyone knows everyone will be whining, you could just as well announce the transition tomorrow and get it over with in a year.

I worked for the game studio as an intern in the lead up to them making this game. They had a few games in the can already that used this kind of game pattern (quantum gate, QG2: vortex) .. while I was around they were producing their own engine to build their next game which eventually became the xfiles. They kept the lights on doing a bunch of random CDROM industry work (cd rom magazines, educational stuff, etc) We did shoot another 'short game' that was a pitch for the xfiles.
I did for something analogous: https://honeypot.net/2024/04/08/i-fought-state.html

Yup. Which will make how these groups’ positions change amid the racial depolarisation of American partisan politics [1] super interesting.

...have you ever used the coins?

All different sizes and the border of 10 and 50 are similar but the 50 is x2 the size and the 20 is totally different

I don't think anyone would say they are similar
Not OP. Just optimize for happiness instead of money. I earn ten times less now than I used to. I work half the time and am twice as happy.

Anyone else here stopped drinking? I've noticed a marked improvement in my cognitive ability and recall. Two specifics: Flying single pilot IFR is actually fun, even at night in the clouds in busy airspace with departure procedures etc. Secondly, learning new things that are hard is easier. As a third I'd also add running tech calls with smart engineers where I'm coordinating the call and holding several things in a queue in my brain as the meeting progresses, and systematically working through them as items are added is easier.
Who wants to read all of those docs that they know nothing about?

Better: use an LLM, get something working, realize it doesn't work _exactly_ as you need it to, then refer to docs. Beginners will need to learn this, however. They still need to learn to think. But practical application and a true desire to build will get them to where they need to be.
Thanks!

Any idea if the law requires the redesign (i.e., requires that the AM radio meets some level of audio quality when operating in the vehicle) or if it just requires the AM radio to be present and (somewhat understandably) the manufacturer don’t want to include an AM radio if it consistently sounds bad?
Aman premoves everything in the end, he is very low on time. Most platforms allow you to make moves in advance, and those are automatically executed after your opponent moves, as long as they are legal.

fwiw I was working at Nokia R&D when Elop trojan horsed us, Jolla (and sailfishOS) was the result of people making MeeGO jumping ship.

I don’t know if it’s the same now, because 12 years or more of fighting the duopoly with no cash to speak of in comparison must have meant selling your soul somewhat, but I doubt it’s the intent to do anything shady.

Android (in popular use) tends to have a lot of closed source bits, though I agree that it should be entirely open source. I would guess that not having it straight FOSS is more a function of financials and headcount to be good stewards than it is of ill-intent.

She mentioned she can’t rely on DHCP for deterministic address assignment, but if one can rely on DHCP and has a sufficiently smart switch, one can use DHCP option 82 to identify the end device based on which switch and switchport it is connected to. This then allows for all kinds of customizations without any “cooperation” from the end device.
Weird - https://chatgpt.com/share/6701450c-bc9c-8006-8c9e-468ab6f67e... is working for me in a Chrome Incognito window.

Hm. According to Wiki, "As of November 2022, efforts to identify either the origin of this character or its purpose before the 1960s have not been successful."

While your rationale was used to argue for its inclusion in ASCII, as an origin story however it is very unlikely, as (according to wiki again): "The earliest known reference found to date is a 1937 maintenance manual from the Teletype Corporation with a photograph showing the keyboard of its Kleinschmidt keyboard perforator WPE-3 using the Wheatstone system."

The Kleinschmidt keyboard perforator was used for sending telegraphs, and is not well equipped with mathematical symbols, or indeed any symbols at all besides forward slash, backslash, question mark, and equals sign. Not even period!

> look at the battery life of a linux desktop or a pinephone

Desktops generally don't have a battery. My laptops have perfectly good battery running assorted Linux distros. The pinephone sucks but mostly for hardware reasons; I suspect you would find Android on that hardware to also suck.

> I don’t want a random app to read my browser caches/ssh keys, etc, but if you like any random repo you download having access to your personal files, you do you.

If you must download random untrusted code and execute it, then you should run it inside bubblewrap/firejail/docker.
I use it in several places in my company. Being able to compose multiple async streams of data is the best part.

One simple example is a scroll tracker. I needed to track a user’s scroll, determine the direction, and combine it with touch events.

I wrote a prototype using event handlers and the code descended into incomprehensible spaghetti pretty quickly. With RxJS I was able to implement it as a series of custom operators that were easy to write, test, and use.
You can re-phrase my main question as: why is there enough interest in doing these minor improvements when there is apparently little interest in fixing the major and long-lasting deficiencies?
CSD has nothing to do with UX. CSD just means the application draws the window controls and borders.
If your goal is just to get something working then go right ahead. But if your goal is to be learning and improving your process and not introducing any new issues and not introducing a new threat etc. then you’re better off not just stopping at “it works” but also figuring out why it works and if this is the right way to make it work.

The idea that wanting to become better at using something is pearl clutching is frankly why everything has become so mediocre.
Oh, sorry that wasn't clear. I meant that type of class, as in, a class similar to "intro to programming", not a class about types in the programming sense.
And by "class", I mean classes in the school sense, haha. You're right though.
LLMs _will_ hallucinate no matter what you do.

I think you're overthinking it. This is like saying LLMs will never be useful because they hallucinate. That's a known issue, and yet of course they have been proven to be often quite useful nonetheless.

What it comes down to is, how often do they hallucinate, what's the negative impact when they do (both of which can be measured) and very importantly: for whatever their measured performance is, how does it compare to the next best alternative that users have?

It's not like they're trying to build a model to design a nuclear reactor in one go. It's just a Q+A bot, whose performance can be easily measured by benchmarking it against the top 30 questions or so in a given subject area (probably accounting for 95 percent of all inputs). And the current alternative users have (search engines) is pretty darn mediocre.

BTW I'm actually not much of a fan of LLMs or chatbots, so I have nothing to "sell" you here. But this is my rough take, based on my generally quite skeptical attitude toward this technology.

Which does seem to suggest that, at the very least, it's an idea worth exploring.
"If your student has a google account created by the school using Google for Education, then their data is not being used for ads" - then how do they make money? Is Google classroom free for schools?
Oh but can't you see, laziness is one of the greatest motivators of all time. The desire to unburden ourselves from the tedious and faulty process of mental math lead to the invention of the calculator. Walking is hard so we domesticated horses and invented automobiles. Sending messages takes forever so we'll lay a telegram cable across the ocean floor.

I no longer need to calculate in my head, walk 10 miles to get food, or wait for weeks to hear from my friends who moved across the country. Maybe it's making me dumber, lazier, weaker compared to my forerunners, but dumbest of all would be to ignore these advantages just because I'm no longer appealing to some guys idea of Ideal Intelligence.

If you haven't seen it, I'd recommend checking out Amazon's Ion data format: https://amazon-ion.github.io/ion-docs/

It's schemaless, so the binary format can't be as effecient as protobufs, but IMO the minor overhead is worth not paying the costs protobuf has to.

The text format (which is interoperable) is a strict superset of JSON that resolves many of the issues ziggy tackles (tagged unions, comments, verbosity, multiline strings), although not quite as prettily for configs.
Back in school on occasion it was considered cheating to use a calculator, the purpose to encourage learning. It would be absurd in the work environment to ban the use of calculators, it's your responsibility as an employee to use it correctly. As you say the first step.
Xfce is not perfect but pretty close (in *nix realm); it is a stable WIMP desktop environment. Everything where you expect it to be, no excessive feature creep, stable. It is like a tool, I love it. I wish it had a better brand. Too nerdy.
You still have to manually review and understand every single line of code and your dependencies. To do otherwise is software malpractice. You are responsible for every single thing your computers do in production, so act like it. The argument that developers can all somehow produce 10x or more the lines of code by leaning on a LLM falls over in the face of code review. I'd say at most you'll get 2x, but even that's pushing it. I personally will reject pull requests if I ask the author a question about how something works and they can't answer it. Thankfully, this hasn't happened (yet).

If you have an engineering culture at your company of rubber-stamp reviews, or no reviews at all, change that culture or go somewhere better.

I guess this is probably fast enough that you could run it on a schedule every 10 seconds or so (at least for databases measured in GBs, not TBs) to keep a warm copy updated elsewhere.

Litestream gives you a backup in S3 within less than a second of data being committed though, plus since it records the full WAL archive you get point-in-time recovery for previous timestamps too.
Conference organisers often talk about the “drop” after the event ends. It’s definitely a thing to feel deflated after navigating a high pressure situation.

Either you are misinformed, or you are flatout lying. I literally just tried it on Firefox with uBlock and after 10 videos, received 0 ads. See here for more context: https://www.reddit.com/r/uBlockOrigin/comments/1etvawp/youtu... A simple Google Search of "does ublock origin block YouTube ads" disproves you.
No, greed (or wanting money) is one of the reasons some people with brains get paid better. if they can think of things or ways of doing things that save money or create value, or both, then they will get paid lots. They could still agree with their employer that they get paid the equivalent of a postgrad stipend, but they probably don't. You don't need to game a system for that to happen.
I would hazard to guess that Google classroom (starting at Kindergarten and continuing through post secondary) software is mostly installed via next-next-finish (i.e. whatever the defaults set by Google are). I'd also assume that these defaults are set to very minimal privacy protection for students.

Having this digital record entrusted to any company that is not under strong privacy controls should be frightening to parents.

School administrators figure the low-cost low-barrier-to-entry is well worth the long term privacy risk to children.

* Fortunately my children were out of school when this became common place - so kindly correct me if I'm mistaken.

I've worked in the education sector—at least in the US there are well known data protection laws that schools very much do know about and attempt to comply with. It's not quite HIPAA levels of serious, but they do take it seriously, and as another commenter notes Google actually does comply.
1 is not unavoidable. I’ve never gotten a clear answer on the explanation, but the most reasonable ones involve power-saving and frequency-saving strategies (only poll for new connections for a few hundred microseconds per second). And I think these are eminently solvable.

On 2, my question isn’t “why haven’t they fixed #2 for this use case?” it’s “where does the effort to address this relatively small use case come from while #2 remains unaddressed “?

I owned Jolla and Jolla C phones, that were made by the developers of Sailfish OS, until I got tired of swimming against the tide and switched to Android.

At the time it was very close to desktop GNU/linux OSes: software in rpm packages, wayland, pulse audio, easy SSH to device. It was easy. I still find myself confused when using Android, Sailfish OS was easy.

It's extremely hard to certify chain of custody and validate mail-in ballots. It would require forensic analysis of the ballot, looking at the signature for example, and that is not feasible or realistic to do, even after elections. In other words, mail-in ballots are already making elections a lot less trustworthy, and I'm sure if it benefited Republicans, it would be Democrats who would be opening those court cases and fighting it as much as possible.

Saying this concern is manufactured by the media is itself a kind of conspiracy theory, because I remember clearly that mail-in ballots were a huge concern even before 2020 elections. Granted, there were a lot of cases thrown out, and it's hard to find evidence, but that doesn't invalidate the concerns. My point is that we need elections that do not allow for these kinds of doubts in the first place.

My parents set up a trust for my disabled brother and made my uncle the guardian. Unfortunately he was dishonest and greedy and embezzled it. Fortunately he did this before my parents had even passed, so we had time to come up with a backup plan. (The backup plan was me, and I never felt like I could start my own family as long as I was responsible for my brother, so ... that's been limiting.) Anyway...

... I've often felt like it would have been much safer to either make a legal firm administrators of the fund or at least have multiple family members on it, so that they might keep tabs on each other and make it harder to just steal. I've actually spent a lot of time thinking about what went wrong and what might have been different. If that uncle hadn't died I would probably have spent that time fantasizing about ways to kill him, but, as it is ... I just don't get to retire.

I love my brother and have made peace with most of the consequences of what happened to him, because at a certain point you just have to accept the hand you're dealt and keep going. But the bitterness of what the world has done to us is still in me and I don't think it's ever going to leave.

tl;dr - definitely don't leave just one person, even family, with access to a disabled person's money
> I'm hoping to use it for nightly backups of a webapp I'm building that uses sqlite exclusively

> would we risk Kessler Syndrome for a war?

I mean, yes, absolutely! I wouldn't trust world leaders to understand Kessler syndrome, let alone care about it. If a world leader is comfortable killing hundreds of thousands of people to make their nation "safe", targeting civilian infrastructure, I have no doubt that they'd blow up some stuff in orbit.

To be clear, I don't want to risk it. I'd prefer we didn't live in such a warlike world. But the current world leaders are out here bombing nuclear plants and residential districts. A few satellites will feel very, very far away to them.
This allows you more time to develop a mental model, perhaps not at a learning stage but at a working stage. The LLM shows you what works and you can optimize it thereafter. It will even give you handy inline commentary (probably better than what a past developer provided on existing code).

1. When I have looked into this, it turns out the basic WiFi standard has rules about polling rate (allegedly to save power). Like, the standard is literally something like “poll for a few hundred microseconds every couple seconds”. Macbooks even have special workarounds that decrease the connection time by ~half by mildly abusing the standard.
