I’m considering it for future purchases. I doubt anything will happen, but if it does it’ll be better to have something that can run GrapheneOS or similar rather than being stuck with something they can only run iOS. As far as computers go, you can already run Linux on your Mac so it’s not like you have to do anything about it. If nothing happens, which it probably won’t, then it’ll have been a waste of effort. The cloud is similar, there is no reason to leave iCloud now and you should already have backups outside of it anyway.

I’m far more interested in what will happen with enterprise organisations and their reliance on Microsoft. Breaking they reliance would be a good thing though, regardless of who leads the US.

This comment makes me think of Coke vs. Pepsi.

Historically, Pepsi won taste tests and people chose Coke. Because Pepsi is sweeter, so that first sip tastes better. But it's less satisfying—too sweet—to drink a whole can.

The sexy demos don't, in my opinion and experience, win over the engineers and leaders you need. Lil startups, maybe, and engineers that love the flavor of the week. But for solving real, unsexy problems—that's where you'll pull in organizations.

It may have been that I got 720p 30FPS working just fine, but then 1080p was in the single digits, and I just made a bad assumption, or something.

Any man in those countries i can guarantee you can marry and have kids today, provided they fly to a poor country and find a woman (who is attracted and willing)

All men in well off countries have it tough.

I was shocked when I first arrived in Europe and US - how many hoops an average man has to jump through to just get shot at dating.

Men were trying to be 6ft+, 6 figure and Comedy King just to get dates with average women.

My FAANG friends (both whites, black and Asians) make lots of money when compared to average person, they are interesting and have a high IQ too. Guess what?they had zero luck with women.

It was ruthless - I just told my FAANG bros, you know what? You can skip all that and just be fit and decent human being and fly to a poor country and treat the woman with kindness, generosity and love and respect and you'll get the kids and wife you want within a few months.

And soon enough now most of them are married who took action.

You can cry as much as you want but women in developed countries have lots of options and are super risk averse and very demanding in what they want.

It's not about economy when FAANG bros who make 6 figure income are crying for basic level of attention and affection. So I'll never buy into this argument (well houses are expensive you know)

There are tons of men in country who don't even have 6 figure income yet they are married and have kids.

In West, how attractive, popular and bad boy you are matters more than how much money you've.

Stealth startup in drones | Senior software engineer, Fullstack software engineer | currently remote, but potentially 2 days/week in the office next year (London, UK) | UK citizens only

You'd be working with other passionate product engineers who previously worked at Google, Amazon, Helsing, Darktrace and Improbable. You'd be working alongside me in building a modern, ground control station software for drones using web technology. For my project, we use React, Tailwind, drizzle-orm, SQLite, Postgres, maplibre, deck.gl, Node, Python, asyncio, FastAPI and more. We highly value passionate engineers with personal projects or technical hobbies, over leetcode engineers. Examples of things we're building: low latency data and video streaming services for collaboration, or intuitive/modern applications for planning and performing drone flights.

If interested, please reach out to my temporary disposal email: whole-heap-justly@duck.com

PS: I value collaboration: pair programming, discussing, teaching and learning from others. One positive signal is that I've gained 27k points on StackOverflow. Bonus points if you've demonstrated positive impact/glue in teams and organisations.

I also remember her endorsing an unrealized capital gains tax! The stupidest thing I've ever heard. "Hi, government here! We're going to have to ask you to (if necessary) sell this farm/land/house/boat so you can pay us 10% of its value this year. They tried to pretend this would "only" be for people worth over $100M but we know that line would start to come down especially once they noticed how little money that version would bring in, since people with that much money are the same set of people who can afford expensive lawyers to shelter their income and assets.

I can see exactly how this happened: the ambulance drivers picked up the cyclist and drove to the hospital, which requires them to do a whole bunch of paperwork to ensure correct hospital billing, correct accounting for drugs etc.

I would assume at that point computers took over and led to the billing. In an ideal world you’d say “well obviously the target shouldn’t have been billed by the ambulance”, but I’m guessing their infrastructure does not have a built in mechanism for “we are the cause of this trip being needed”.

After that the rest of the lawsuit is likely just the only mechanism to get correctly compensated (the insurance company pays the hospital - if the victim had insurance - then goes to the ambulance co to get them to pay, which is via a “lawsuit”, probably with no intent to go to court, just that’s the mechanism of action. The ambulance company also probably has insurance, but often such insurance is contingent on being sued, because of course).

The large amount is not actually very large: ignoring all the immediate bills I’m sure lawsuit payouts have tax obligations, depending on severity of injuries recovery can be a very long time if ever, with increased costs through out life, and then you are always starting high with the expectation of a counter offer for settlement.

I think it would be similar in Australia, where I'm from, but different in any country where "nationality" and "linguistic/cultural/ethnic background" are synonymous for most people. Most of us wouldn't call an American dude living in Thailand for 20 years "a Thai person" either. The "you can't become Japanese" thing often gets held up as an example of unique or unusually strong Japanese xenophobia, and I don't think it's particularly unusual, though we (humans in general) could probably afford to get more precise about our thinking with regard to nationality vs ethnicity.

That sounds implausible.

A Faraday cage is an attenuator, which multiplicatively decreases signal strength by some constant (at least within a similar frequency band, which Bluetooth and 5G can be considered to be).

Unless the forensic lab has additional special shielding from cell towers, the received strength of both a reasonably close cell tower and a nearby Bluetooth transmitter would be pretty similar, so they'd both be attenuated similarly.

> Linux could have made their own libc

That's not what Linux is, though. It's a kernel. libc is a userspace library. The Linux developers could also make their own libpng and put their stable interface in there, but that's not in scope for their project.

> As a result of that brilliant design choice, every single language can make Linux system calls natively.

That is like saying it's a brilliant design choice for an artist to paint the sky blue on a sunny day. If Linux is a kernel, and if a kernel's interface with userspace is syscalls, and if Linux wants to avoid breaking userspace with kernel updates, then it needs a stable syscall interface.

> No need to pull in some huge C library just for this.

Again, I'm not sure why the Linux project would invent this "huge C library" to use as their stable kernel interface.
Because whether it's people pulling the trigger or the gun itself, both are the direct source of harm. Bicycles are not the source of harm, cars are.

The analogous argument one way would be quibbling over whether it's the driver or the car. The analogous argument the other would be saying it's the shooting victims fault for being in a place where they are likely to get shot (bad neighborhood, in a position to surprise or threaten an armed individual, or maybe just in America)
The article's author doesn't know the reason. They repeat speculation that the same games will be re-released in new bundles.
> you think bicyclists have the de facto right of way and everyone should adjust to your presence

They think that because that's how the law works, yes. Also many roads aren't designed for cars either, at least not in terms of safety or efficiency.
just ask your friends. Next step up from that would be people on the internet.
I haven't tried either of those two approaches but I have used this: If your upcoming feature work is impacted by tech debt, do the tech debt work first to set the stage for easier feature development.

I've heard it called "make the change easy, then make the easy change".

This has the benefit of putting all tech debt work in the context of moving the software forward. If there's tech debt in a corner of the project that never changes, so what? Leave it. If there's tech debt in an active part of the codebase, it quickly impacts feature work and needs to be dealt with immediately.

As another comment mentions, this is a standard vehicle-cyclist collision lawsuit with some hilarity added by automated billing.
Cops are some of the greatest "victims" in our society. Encryption will make their investigations more difficult. They'll be judged first by the basis of the race of their suspect and then by the suspected crime. Even bodycams (which they're now quick to hail as they're "recording too," when people record interactions with their phones) were going to impeded their ability to do their jobs.

There are fewer groups with so much power who see themselves as downtrodden. I could name others, but that'd be going off-topic.

You could say that jumping out of a plane without a parachute isn't dangerous, it's the ground that's dangerous.

Cyclists make mistakes, make bad judgments, take big risks, just like car drivers. They are human too. You could say cyclists have a bigger incentive to avoid problems, but no driver I know wants to hit someone and injure them, and cyclists I know become inured to the risks after riding for years without injury - it seems to me that human attention loses focus unless something reinforces it; as a result 1 in 1,000 risks are very hard to focus on.

Cars and bikes don't mix except when cars are going bicycle speed. If your system kills people when they make a mistake, your system is very badly designed.

I thought the term "makers" was really for people making physical goods, I wouldn't consider someone who creates an iPhone app a maker or web apps (what I do).

I don't think the term extends to people that write, they are writers. It doesn't matter if its technical really since the domain of writing includes technical documents, novels, research papers, journalism, blogs, etc. There are common rules about writing and then there are skills around organizing thoughts, capturing information, describing things for an audience, etc.

The domain of makers is really around creating something that has physical properties, is 3 dimensional and the challenges of using different materials, processes and methods to create a physical thing you can hold in your hand.

I'm not saying this to gate-keep or downplay the role writers have, it is very important but I don't think the term "makers" applies to writing.

> What's the difference between that and someone sitting their phone on a metal cabinet?

In a zero-signal environment? With other iPhones in very close proximity?

You can even measure your false positive rate by timing to first successful unlock. If it happens more than once, turn down the sensitivity on the feature (or turn it off completely).
