I am much more pro choice than you are if you are anywhere near the Overton Window. Every single state has laws that shock my conscience as much as the Arkansas abortion ban shocks yours. If you don't have to make such compromises I envy you.
Except it is simultaneously cited by many people as demonstrating some intrinsic aspects of human nature.

Anyone who has done their research know the experiment is bollocks. There’s countless others out there touting it as informative.
If there’s a big enough market for this use case, I suspect at least one carrier would do so. I’d imagine this would include some sort of payment in escrow, temporary unlock feature, or an optional add-on.

Otherwise, folks in this position should just buy the phone outright and unlocked so they don’t have any issues like you’re describing.
> Why isn't the surface smaller then? Probably something inside is pushing out?

The surface of space doesn't require something in a higher dimension pushing it out. That such an object may appear to have internal volume from our perspective doesn't need to be any more real than the apparent depth behind a mirror.

Something that goes to show how unnecessary much of it is is how I've found a staggering difference in paperwork between various US states. Registering a car in New York is equivalent to securing a mortgage with pages and pages of forms and a bill of sale and verification of insurance etc., while in New Hampshire you just show up with the title signed over to you and that's literally it, that's literally all you need to walk out with plates.

It fits the states' identities, New York is (somewhat exaggerating) a kafkaesque dystopia that wants to be in all of your business and have absolute control over everything you do, while New Hampshire's state motto is "Live Free or Die".
Probably some, but no where near all.

Maybe - instead of saying that a state of millions of people is filled with only helpless or mentally unwell women - maybe we can just say that different people can have different viewpoints on abortion while still being mentally normal.

I worked at a company like that. This was 10 years ago when remote was less common but the company was in the work-from-home space so it was sort of in line with the product.

Show HN: Amphi, visual data transformation based on Python
Hi everyone,

I’d like to introduce Amphi, a free and source-available visual data transformation tool.

Amphi is a low-code tool designed for data preparation, manipulation and ETL tasks, whether you're working with files or databases, and it supports a wide range of data transformation operations.

The main difference from tools like Alteryx or Knime is that Amphi is based on Python and generates native Python code (pandas and DuckDB) that you can export and run anywhere. You also have the flexibility to use any Python libraries and integrate custom code directly into your pipeline.

It is available as both a standalone application or a JupyterLab extension (see Github repo for install instructions).

If you're interested don't hesitate to give it a try. You can install it via pip (Python and pip need to be installed on your laptop). Don't hesitate to star the repo and open GitHub issues if you encounter any problems or have suggestions. Amphi is still a young project, so there’s a lot that can be improved.

I’d really appreciate any feedback!

Maybe then they should put a lien on it and call it the phone title, not lock status.
Typically the $1000+ premium phone market is for unlocked phones sold directly from the manufacturer.

The locked phones are usually sub $250 and have some kind of finacial gimmick to get the sticker price lower. Often it will be some carrier specific model name. Just sort by price low to high and you'll find them.

Well, you’ve presented an elementary level view of the problem. The issue is that solving a problem effectively often requires defining the problem and its mechanics and drivers in greater detail to identify solutions that are to fit to address the nuances of the issue.

The Planck Length is a practical limit to the precision you can possibly attain in space.

The electron might be smaller. Its diameter is known to be smaller than 10^-22m, but could be much smaller than that.

Further below the Planck Length, there are strong indications that the universe isn't continuous -- it's discrete. That there's an absolute limit to precision, something really quite analogous to a pixel. This elementary length could be somewhere around 10^-93m.

> you probably want your docs updates to be coordinated with your product releases

People keep saying that but I can't help to wonder if they're every on the receiving end of documentation.

Documentation isn't code. It may all be text, and share other similarities, but it's something fundamentally different. You can't substitute code for docs, or docs for code. The above reasoning is what ends up publishing /docs/5.3/chapter1/installing.html. Reading documentation for a specific version of the product is not desirable.

To understand the product, it's very relevant what happens in version 5.4, and I should not have to diff different releases of the docs to find out. The documentation should say clearly that this function will be deprecated, or look different in the next version. In short, documentation should neither be branched with code, nor released with it. It should live in parallel and describe not only how the product works, but more importantly why it works like it does.
The interest rate on a credit contract will depend on the default rate. Arguably, a phone company can offer loans on a locked phone for lower interest rates than anyone else could, because they can cut off service if the loan isn't paid, which is an incentive to actually pay it.

I'm not all sure this is a good thing, but I can see the argument for why it might result in lower interest rates on phones.

None of this is going to matter to people with good credit.

> It takes a lot more time/energy to push public APIs

And, once an API is public, it becomes a lot harder to make changes to it. Iterating with a private API, then making it public once you've figured out the problem space, is a valid and useful approach.
There's a much simpler escape: That space is ultimately discrete (i.e. that there's an elementary length) rather than infinitely continuous.
Rust is more complicated than C++ to get your head around due to it's specialized concepts around lifetime, ownership, async and other topics. The upside is memory safety. If you don't need memory safety and very close to C++ performance (within 10-20%) then far better options like Go, Java, Kotlin etc. etc.

This isn't your typical RTO story. Walmart is asking their staff to move across the country to the home office in Bentonville, AR.

Bentonville is a company town with not too much nearby. It's a nice enough place, with good schools, a few surrounding towns, and a fantastic art museum, but above all it's Walmart town. If you move there from another state and ever decide to work somewhere else, you're probably going to want to uproot your life again and move your family across the country. It's a great retention strategy for Walmart, and the lower CoL doesn't hurt either. If you prefer a more cosmopolitan lifestyle and the option to work elsewhere without moving, the Bentonville deal is a pretty unattractive one.

At least they've put windows in some of the office buildings now, that's a plus.

The relevant border policies inside the EU are literally called open borders. I don’t know what would you call open borders if not what we have between EU countries.

This is undeniable.

Sure. The point is the gedankenexperiment proves nothing. We don't need to "[record] an infinite amount of information" to encapsulate the infinity between any pair of real numbers.

I generally don't have a problem with the trade where a customer gets a free or subsidized phone, and the carrier gets a more-or-less guaranteed customer for some agreed-upon time period. But:

* The phone needs to unlock the instant the agreement/deal ends. Automatically, without the need to phone home to the carrier to get it done.

* If the phone is on a payment plan, that shouldn't have anything to do with this; it should be unlocked from day one, and if the customer decides to switch carriers, they're still on the hook for paying out the rest of the payment plan, just like any other credit arrangement.

* Carriers must be agnostic to the devices on their network. They should not be permitted to refuse to allow you to bring your own phone, as long as that phone has been certified by whatever relevant regulatory body as being compliant with the various mobile radio standards.

I don't really get why there's so much consternation around this. If people want free or reduced-price things, sometimes they have to give something else in return.

If they don't want to, they can buy a full-price, unlocked phone. As long as that option remains, I don't see the problem with carriers offering alternate terms.

But I still don't get why the carriers are upset. They can still pair a free/subsidized phone with a 1- or 2-year service contract, with early termination fees that recoup their loss on the phone. Sure, having the phone locked is an incentive to either stay or pay the termination fees, but do enough people to matter actually manage to avoid paying the termination fees? Seems unlikely.

> there are strong indications that the universe isn't continuous -- it's discrete

There are indications discrete space is plausible. It's actively debated.

There are also strong indications space is continous, e.g. Lorentz symmetry. (This was recently the death knell for a branch of LQG.)
I have a few major wordpress projects that rely on a commercial Wordpress plugin. There’s no place for me to go, at this moment in time.

But I’m also personally getting tired of all this. I was prepared to dump Apple when they had their CSAM initiative. I bought a Tesla and then Elon goes super mad. I run Wordpress sites for my income and Matt goes super mad. I run Linux as much as I can but a lot of my media output is dependent on binary supported video output.

OSS is the foundation of our cloud layers but not amazing for desktop loads. Commercial companies are quite shady nowadays, and people like me who built their incomes on it have to consider how principled they are want to be. If I want to stay commercial and prioritize my income, I can’t even really entertain the principle dimension in my tool chain.

Late response but a clarification - The Last Ringbearer was translated to couple languages, and it seems that only English didn’t get proper release due to the authorization (yet its still available for free and approved by Yeskov).

I checked because I have official print somewhere and last time I checked I couldn’t read Russian ;)

Still it’s somewhat interesting that French, German and Spanish editions can exist freely in their native laws while English publisher holds the gates.

I don't think either Swift or Kotlin have "optional type annotations" of the sort mentioned in the comment I was replying to...

In this context "optional" means "you can either use or not use type annotations", which is not related to type inference [1] but is a way to gradually add types, usually in a half-baked, unsatisfying way.

[1] because unlike with Kotlin or Swift, there's no inference when you leave out the annotations, but instead you "switch off" static typechecking for portions of the code you don't want to annotate.
What was it like, by the way, out of curiosity?
I agree, but I'll argue that this is not responsive to my question, nor a reasonable goal in general. You cannot be _sure_ that a student isn't cheating without taking draconian measures, but you can likely catch a lot of lazy cheaters by applying imperfect methods. The problem comes when the methods are treated as infallible and there is no appeal process.

> Your examples are inherently functional, and in practice people would do ABCDService that just returns the result. But ignoring that - how is the code changing when you need to call some external API from the c(x) function and handle the credentials, session, errors etc? Real world has external state and we do need to work with it.

Abcdservice is bad because I want to use a b c and d in different contexts. You’re saying in the real world oop promotes a style where you can’t break down your code into legos. With oop you need to glue a b c and d together.

My code is not inherently functional. I literally picked the smallest possible logical operations and interpreted them as either functional or oop. And then I tried to compose the logical operations.

I mean look at it. A b and c are just one or two mathematical operators. If you’re saying this is inherently functional then your saying computing at its most primitive state is inherently functional.

> This approach to state management is exactly what is causing the need to rewrite almost everything when requirements change in a functional program.

Not true. Fp programs segregate state. Look at my code. All the code for fp is stateless. The only state is y=1.

> But I hate writing FP code when I'm not 100% sure what needs to be done and what might change in the future.

You hate what’s inherently better for the future. Fp is more modular and therefore more adaptable for the future. You hate it because you don’t get it.
This will probably be a huge surprise for you, but some people care about other people.
So at the start of each chapter, the book has a table of abbreviations and their definitions, called 'Acronyms'. To whoever wrote or edited the book: please lookup the definition of the word 'acronym': "an abbreviation formed from the initial letters of other words and pronounced as a word (e.g. NASA)." Not all of the abbreviations listed are acronyms! Most are just plain old initialisms.

Since when has anyone ever tried to pronounce 'GPS' as anything other than G-P-S? Also "ECS" = "Ecosystem"? Maybe I'm just crazy but I've never heard or read anyone abbreviate ecosystem as 'ECS'. I've come across ECS as entity component system in video game engines, but never as just 'ecosystem'. Also it's defined exactly once in chapter 5 and then never used again in the book. Why even bother to mention it then?

Oh and publish it as a PDF, but then have no actual page numbers?

As is true with nearly any language. I originally got my ham license back in 1988 when I was a kid (was actually surprised/happy I could remember my original callsign and use that to look up my registration date). I got up to the 13 WPM needed to pass the General license back then, but then I eventually lost interest, especially when I went to college and the Internet (and especially the Web) was in its early stages. I sadly can hardly remember any of the codes these days.

I suppose, yeah, when I figure out the exact reason why the error occurred, fixing it is often easy. The finding, however, can often take a long time, which leaves me feeling "once you have driven across the continent, finding your desired endpoint is a quick process". "Once constructed, installing the door on your new house is a simple and easy task". Well, sure, if you take out the time-consuming parts, it's quick and easy.

Except for all those runtime errors where the fix required major refactoring, or the problem is in a third party library, the OS, or some other unchangeable component.
The locking was supposed to be a lien mechanism for phones so that the carriers could protect their investments. However, unlike a bank, they can continue to benefit from customers after the loan is paid off. So, they just keep the phones locked and make you go through elaborate hoops just to keep you as a customer instead of providing a good service.

If the carriers are not allowed to subsidize devices, there will be easily thousands of financial institutions who would provide these services.
