> I'd just moved my family off Verizon for the same reason, too.

You most certaintly did not leave for the same reason. AT&T is a special level of shitty with their device whitelisting. Verizon and T-Mobile do not whitelist. Verizon shut down their old CDMA network and you needed new devices.

3G WCDMA (which is what topic is discussing) was the last circuit centric standard, it actually sucked for footprint and was way more complex on the carrier end to deploy. It was so bad that when the iphone 3GS launched signal storming kept crashing out AT&T's 3G network.

Haven't missed using 3G on T-Mobile but they actually still keep the 2G signal alive in their guard bands which is fun for running retro devices.

> Even today I keep the 5G functionality of my phone turned off because 4G gives a consistently more reliable connection and faster data rates.

Verizon and T-Mobile have enough resources on 5G now that breaking gigabit speeds is pretty common, without mmwave. I've run my primary net on wireless for most of the decade and it's improved every year as new bands get deployed. First year of 5G was not great, now it's fast and most of the spectrum is on it.

However, the vonr/volte 4G/5G sip profile situation is really shit even without asshole operators doing whitelisting, it's a problem for emergency calls and probably one of the reasons t-mobile kept their 2G on air still, just as a CYA.

Yes, I don't have a daughter, but I'm also very concerned about that. It feels like there's an assumption that the tribes that don't support women's rights will adopt that cultural mindset over time, but I'm not so sure it's a good assumption.
The issue with myki wasn't the card technology, it was the fact they wanted to have standardised ticketing across the entire state.

eg Tap on a bus, tram and train in Melbourne, get off in Wangaratta and tap on to a bus there.

There was going to be something like 29 zones, and all the requirements / edge cases / mucking around sent the cost through the roof.

These days any new tool should support SVCB/HTTPS query types as well.
That's one of the reasons I'm starting to move away from JS on the server and instead use dotnet. It's super mature and you can build something with close to zero deps. You can be certain it will still be there 10 years from now. The performance (7-10x better than JS) is the cherry on top.

Still haven't figured out which would be a good long term solution for frontend. For the moment I'll keep using Svelte which I really like but I have doubts about it's longevity.

Is there movement on allowing larger memory usage for JS in browsers too? It's pretty limiting in some cases, say if you want to open a large file locally.
Yeah, I'm of the same vintage. Never really felt eternal september impacted the newsgroups I frequented as they didn't appeal to AOLers, and felt it was exaggerated. But it feels real now with engagement metric following content creators and influencers, and the way platforms enable it now.
I find the whole textbook market a scam for college students. How are colleges forcing students to buy the newest textbooks on subjects that have been around since the 1700s. There is no need for an intro calculus book printed in the 21st century.

Easier to just avoid AT&T's network. I used to buy import xperia models for years and one day their system started to sweep for IMEI's not in their db. It's not a hassle I miss dealing with.
Why is it that a button that says 'DO NOT CLICK' calls out SO hard to be clicked?
I once thought I lost a paper I'd written a while back (before OverLeaf and Cloud), and I've rewritten it only to find it back again: when I compared the versions, the second one had better sentences altogether. The core framing was there, but the quality was higher.
Its not a rumor, you really do and you can try it out yourself. Unfortunately its very finnicky and you cant really leverage it to produce a realistic image of what you want since any further prompting seems to override it.

Its like a ghost in the machine prompt.
I feel like LaTeX is very hard to really learn. I wrote it for years without really understanding it. (Still don't).

I asked what was the best book for learning LaTeX. The response... "There is no book. Sit next to someone writing their dissertation."

Typst on the other hand, feels modern, is readable, and is fast. (4 seconds vs 2 minutes for some of my books.) The developers are responsive.

My only complaint is that some of my code broke during the latest release. I'll not complain too much because of is a nascent project and still making quick progress.

After I realized that Typst had the features I required for my books, I immediately moved to it.

Good riddance LaTeX. You served me well, but I felt like there was never a better option... Until now.
Doesn’t make for a very good article; your press pass has been revoked
IIRC Silicon Valley was (will be) nuked, hence the implication Dutch (top of head example) becomes dominant.
Did you file an issue? The devs are quite responsive and now is the time to act while it is making quick progress.

Wipr and 1Blocker, for me. Start with the former; it’s cheaper.
This is the main difficulty for me in learning Typst. I think LaTeX is unnecessarily verbose for simple documents. But I know its "equation part", the part within $$, well, and I don't want to have to relearn it.

More interesting if you exit windows and run DOS.

Also the Windows 95 version of EDIT.EXE is in there for some reason, rather than the actual edit.com (which is a frontend for qbasic /edit) For some reason, edit.exe has a com file extension.

The original iphone SE still works fine for voLTE. That's an 8 year old device. Any older and yeah they won't work.

And/or an organization that has the faith and politics that allow to wait till smooth starts paying back and becomes fast. Frequently you also have everyone benefiting from smoothness but not everyone contributing to it which results in the folks who pump out tickets as fast as possible looking like they are just strictly better. Easy to adapt to and game as an IC, but I find it frustrating as a manager.
Sydney's rollout was definitely not smooth! NSW spent a decade (late 90s - late 00s) trying to launch the "Tcard", after which time they had absolutely nothing to show except wasted $$ millions. Unlike Melbourne, Sydney still had ancient paper tickets well into the 2010s, which weren't even consistent across modes of transport (destination specific "one way / return from x to y" single use tickets for trains, zoned "travel ten" tickets for buses, etc), and which often had to be paid for with exact change in coins (and which often couldn't be purchased in advance). Opal only soft launched in 2012, it wasn't actually available on all modes of transport, for all ticket types, etc, until end of 2014.
This has nothing to do with entitlement. Nothing about my post had to do with open source. The same issues apply to proprietary API changes.

Further, I maintain 150 open source projects, 20+ of them active. I still take into account that making a change to an API effects every user downstream. You can spin this anyway you want. If you run an project (open or closed) and you make a change the costs 10s of thousands or million of hours of collective work downstream you just effectively burned down X amount of trees, put Y amount of carbon in the atmosphere, made Z number of people work late instead of being with friends and family, etc...
Do the Australian citizens not vote their politicians into the role? It hardly seems the fault of the companies to not exploit the politicians weakness. Surely such weakness would allow a more capable candidate to campaign on such a platform.

I'd expect that to be everyone that thought about it for more than a few seconds. Both because eventual replacement was obvious and because sometimes you only have partial coverage.

Both of course, plus quantitative easing and other factors. There was a lot of new money (QE) and not a lot of places to put it (ZIRP). In that context, companies like Chegg and Zoom were interesting bets and seemed to have more upside than, say, Netflix, which also had a strong couple years. But the whole market more than doubled in that time. The money had to go somewhere.
I've been debating between getting the base M4 Mini and assembling a desktop myself with the Ryzen 9600X. Price-wise, both are around the same. Points in favour of the former:

1. Smaller form factor

2. Don't have to bother assembling anything myself

Points in favour of the latter:

1. I can install my favourite flavour of Linux (and Windows too, though I hardly use it any more.)

2. Easy upgradability, especially of memory and storage - I don't foresee upgrading anything else for the next 4-5 years. 16GB/256GB seems to be something I'd quickly outgrow, and the next bump up in configuration is a huge bump up in price.

I think "blogs" as in "web logs" with features like comments (trackbacks and linkbacks came later) only appeared around 2000 or 2001.

The definitions in the law
"(2)the term “produces”—
(A)means—
(i)actually filming, videotaping, photographing, creating a picture, digital image, or digitally- or computer-manipulated image of an actual human being;
"
(ii)digitizing an image, of a visual depiction of sexually explicit conduct; or, assembling, manufacturing, publishing, duplicating, reproducing, or reissuing a book, magazine, periodical, film, videotape, digital image, or picture, or other matter intended for commercial distribution, that contains a visual depiction of sexually explicit conduct; or
(iii)inserting on a computer site or service a digital image of, or otherwise managing the sexually explicit content,[1] of a computer site or service that contains a visual depiction of, sexually explicit conduct; and

(B)does not include activities that are limited to—
(i)photo or film processing, including digitization of previously existing visual depictions, as part of a commercial enterprise, with no other commercial interest in the sexually explicit material, printing, and video duplication;
(ii)distribution;
(iii)any activity, other than those activities identified in subparagraph (A), that does not involve the hiring, contracting for, managing, or otherwise arranging for the participation of the depicted performers;
(iv)the provision of a telecommunications service, or of an Internet access service or Internet information location tool (as those terms are defined in section 231 of the Communications Act of 1934 (47 U.S.C. 231)); or
(v)the transmission, storage, retrieval, hosting, formatting, or translation (or any combination thereof) of a communication, without selection or alteration of the content of the communication, except that deletion of a particular communication or material made by another person in a manner consistent with section 230(c) of the Communications Act of 1934 (47 U.S.C. 230(c)) shall not constitute such selection or alteration of the content of the communication; and"

The actual arguments would be lengthy for both parties, OF would want to be categorized as a distributor or ISP, which are in the NOT category.

I would argue, and the plaintiff would, that they are publishers. The commercial intentions are mentioned, which was dismissed as irrelevant in the case.

An Apollo Automation MTR-1 Multi-Target Radar Multisensor. Starts at $36.99 without doodads. Finding and using it and other devices has sent me all the way down the smart home rabbit hole (Homebridge and Home Assistant running on a Beelink N100 system etc.) and it's been a hoot.

"It also doesn't track usage properly, so you can't tell what state you're in (tapped on or off)."

Right, why can't I use a NFC app (of which I've tried many) to read my Opal card's state - the balance and whether I've tapped on and off? Frankly, it's a damn nuisance.

NFC apps read lots of information about the card, type manufacturer number serial number etc. but nothing that's useful like one's remaining balance. Yes, they can encrypt parts of the card to protect security but there's no need to inconvenience users by not telling them their balance.

Opal is, in effect, a machine-readable only system that takes power away from users. Thus, clearly its ergonomics are unacceptable.

I've also an Opal card with a crack in it which means its internal antenna wire is broken and the card won't respond to the machine. Unfortunately, it has a credit of between $60 and $70 on it and getting that recredited has been such a pain to the extent that I'll have to dissolve the plastic and reconnect the wire. Yes, the card could have been registered but why should I have to tell the government everywhere I go?

Similarly, the Opal system discriminates against those with confession cards in that they're tracked by default and their cards have a louder beep on machines that informs everyone nearby that the person is traveling at a cheaper rate. In my opinion, that's unacceptable and discriminatory (if necessary a ticket inspector could determine that with his handheld reader).

When I was living in Vienna several decades ago there were multiple ways to buy tickets, singles, weekly, monthly and so on. One was a card strip with multiple segments on it. You'd fold over to a blank segment (a split-second operation) and insert it in a time/route stamping machine on the bus/tram or train and that stamp was valid for an hour on any transport even if you changed mid route.

One could see with just one's eyes how much credit one had left and a ticket inspector could glance at the ticket and tell in an instant whether the ticket was valid or not. Also, the route number would tell him if you'd changed your mode of transport or not (that could be useful if one's latter transport was late, which it never was—Vienna's transport system is wonderful).

The ergonomics of that old-fashioned mechanical system were excellent and it worked like a dream. Much of this modern IT tech is done just for the sake of it and for the smart to make a financial killing from the gullible. And I say that as an IT professional.

It really annoys me that more people don't complain about poorly designed IT infrastructure that's barely fit for purpose. Like frogs in heating water, unfortunately we can be cajoled into accepting anything with minimal effort.
Trains can pass each other! I see it happen all the time in Japan.

It's easy to enforce speed limits on AVs, but also easy for AV proponents to argue that speed limits are obsolete and unnecessary when cars have millisecond reaction times, a legacy from back when sluggish humans piloted vehicles around. It's hard to say what the future may hold.

A lot of people apparently have similar self-beliefs. Recognize these are beliefs. Identify and map out your current belief system so that you can analyze it for what it is. That's what you have to do when you are uncertain, is map things out. When you develop more self awareness you can choose different belief systems, like in the matrix.
