>Apple Adds Starlink Support to iOS 18.3

Is there any source for this, specifically for the iOS 18.3 part? The article has links but none of them says anything specifically about ios 18.3. According to starlink's marketing materials, it works just like regular LTE and therefore wouldn't require a software update to work.

>Direct to Cell works with existing LTE phones wherever you can see the sky. No changes to hardware, firmware, or special apps are required, providing seamless access to text, voice, and data.

https://www.starlink.com/ca/business/direct-to-cell

T-mobile's site also suggests this

>All customers with compatible device and postpaid T-Mobile voice plan are eligible for T-Mobile Starlink beta test. Limited spots available for test. Developing technology available in most areas, most of the time; ultimately available in most outdoor areas where you can see the sky.

Which is great, so long as your flock does not get the flu and die.

We have had chickens in the past, and while I fully support anyone wanting to do their own chickens, the level of effort to keep them clean and healthy, safe from predators, and the labor to take care of them is non-trivial. They were the most expensive and labor-intensive "free eggs" we ever had.
Everyone has to buy food. Eggs are (generally) an inexpensive animal product, and people in the US generally buy animal products.
I know I'm late to the discussion but can you comment on the hearing aid compatibility (HAC) of the phone? It's something that keeps me tethered to bigger name phones since most of the time smaller companies don't even know what that is...

You're absolutely correct, but you're missing an important detail.

I'm assuming you're more aligned politically with the left. If you're not, I apologize for the assumption. To someone who is more right-wing, the bias of e.g. NYT is just as blatant as Fox News is to you, and Fox may come off as "fair". This is because the propaganda is specifically intended to land with their own audience. It's tuned to your sensibilities.

It's very much a "fish in water" scenario. Trying to read articles from multiple sources can help, and questioning why you agree with one take over another. In the end, these are pretty sophisticated operations, and they know how to prey on their targets.

> I brought over the blueprints, and the technician found the schedule of beams and columns within seconds

Is that really an example of the standardization you want? It shows that the blueprint was done in a way that the technician expected it to be, but I am not sure that these blueprints are standardized in that way globally. Each country has its standards and language.

If an architect from a different country did that blueprint, I would bet that it would be significantly different from the blueprint you have.

Software Engineering doesn't have a problem with country borders, but different languages would require different standards and conventions. Unless you can convince everyone to use the same language (which would be a bad idea; CRUD apps and rocket systems have different trade-offs), I doubt there could be an industry-wide standard.

> a department within his purview

That's not how it works in the U.S. If an executive branch department was created by the legislature, it is up to the legislature whether or not it exists, not the executive. If the legislature has passed laws regarding how its resources are to be used, its employees treated, the executive is not free to disregard those laws.

The legislature is the source of laws in the U.S., not the executive. The irony is that the Republicans control the legislature as well. They could pass laws to achieve what Musk wants. It would be slow, but it would be legal.

A coup is seizing power outside the legal mechanism for doing so.

> How much of a change in job performance is acceptable to achieve what diversity goals?

The key part though is that the FAA was worried about the job performance of diverse candidates they brought in. They did not see a trade off between their staffing levels.

There are two separate arguments happening:

Did changing their application process create less qualified ATC controllers? Maybe! But no one seems to be arguing this.

Did changing their application process create a shortage of ATC controllers? Probably not! If anything, the evidence points to the FAA being worried they were going to get too many mediocre candidates.
I've been fiddling around with the Albertsons API for fun. It's kind of neat to see a whole year's worth of purchases in nicely formatted JSON.

I have half an idea to create something like a personal inflation tracker, but I'm still thinking about it.

It's entirely possible that these goons will start fiddling with official statistics around things like unemployment and inflation to tell us that inflation is not actually happening any more and that therefore we must cut interest rates, or some such.

"but alcohol is more than 10 times as dangerous"

That is quite subjective and not solid data. At least I am not aware of a scientific consensus in that regard.

Alcohol is just more widespread because it was legal and part of the culture, so more abuse there. But this context here is about how that might change with the legal status.

Free ranging chickens is the proximate cause of Bird Flu. Chickens get it from wild birds that land near them.

States are going to have to repeal those laws and confine chickens in sealed buildings to protect them.
>Dismissing regulation here would be like dismissing a comparison of a correlation between laws against murder and a low murder rate and a correlation between no laws against murder and a high murder rate.

The reality is there is a hint of truth in everything. We must be careful to assign cause where correlation exists.

Let's use Vermont's gun laws for example. Over the last 40 years, the state's approach to firearms has been quite permissive, with relatively few restrictions, but it still maintains a reputation for having one of the lowest gun violence rates in the country. Vermont is one of the few states in the U.S. where people can carry a concealed weapon without a permit. So is it regulation that prevents the gun violence, as many would lead you to believe, or is it a combination of factors. Factors like social stability, cultural attitudes toward guns, and the state's strong focus on community engagement. Those all contribute to the relative lack of gun violence, rather than simply the laws themselves.

But speaking from experience, when we are deep into ego development years (think teens), I would have absolutely killed someone if it wasn't for murder laws. But today, what holds me back is empathy, and not the law.
It increases the cost of egg production which shifts the supply curve left raising the market clearing price. If it were cheaper then all egg producers would be doing it.
Well, that'd depend on the law's definition of a cage but it's a hell of a lot easier to protect chickens that are fully enclosed vs those that are free range.
Who is mocking egg prices? I see people mocking the administration's total lack of effectiveness or even giving-a-fuckness about egg prices. Which is exactly what should be amplified over and over and over, because you're right, this stuff does actually hurt people.
I'll be the Steve Ballmer saying "I love JavaScript" but man it is great, I have made so many apps in different forms: web, deskop, mobile. If I needed to I can go into XCode and work on Swift. I have stuck with one stack though just ReactJS/NodeJS/ReactNative/ElectronJS or PWA. I prefer including SASS styles.

I still think TS is annoying to work with but I'm coming around since I have to use it at work and libraries like React Native are using it by default. Swift/C++ has typing but yeah, I like plain JS for speed development and typing can get annoying especially for a personal app.
> Voters getting rid of the incumbent because of a perceived wrong does not discredit any of what I said.

Most of it had no bearing on my point in the first place, but your claim that voters "didn't actually care" was refuted and you haven't offered a credible reason to believe it.

>conscious outreach to increase diversity of applicants

Which involved doingwhat exactly?
Consumer demand for eggs and milk is extremely consistent over the short term, and when the price explodes people just...pay more. Hence all of the mad rushes and bizarre hoarding behaviour for this perishable product across the US. People are just spending more of their income on eggs, and bizarrely might be buying even more than normal. Over decades people change habits but for something acute they just suck it up.

Hi and thanks for the comment :),

PomdAPI is client side, but its “Client-Side” is at the Python Layer.

PomdAPI should typically be used within a client application—like a microservice, CLI tool, or backend service—that calls external APIs. It’s still “client-side” in the sense that it caches outside the external API, but inside your Python environment.
So it’s not “browser caching” or “server-side for the remote API.” Instead, PomdAPI manages caching right where your Python code consumes the API.

PomdAPI doesn’t just cache responses. It also handles tag-based invalidation, which helps you precisely drop or refresh cached items when certain data changes.

For example, if you store user data under Tag("User", "id123"), and then you update that user, PomdAPI invalidates that tag so you don’t inadvertently serve stale data. If the API you are using provides HTTP cache headers and it would still require each client to re-check or rely on fine grained ETag logic. PomdAPI centralizes and automates this right where the Python calls occur.
Hope I could answer your question.

The lib was strongly inspired by RTK Query (typescript).
To my mind there's no question that it's swung too far. But it's very easy for me to live in the country and say "oh I get all my fresh produce from the local farm!" when there are cities of millions of people that need feeding too. Scaling while retaining resiliency is not easy.
> If people didn't change their votes, election outcomes would always be the same.

This is only true if the composition of the electorate never changes, which of course it does: people become, and stop being, eligible voters all timhe time, and those that remain eligible change constituencies. Even if each individual’s voting behavior was constant, election results would change all the time.

Comparing Kagi to Google on an individual search basis may not be the best way to assess the service. There are a number of features that make it preferable to Google and DuckDuckGo for many of us.

- Ranking results from specific websites has been well referenced in comments here. I love always knowing if something is on archive.org and wikipedia by having those results come to the top. I also rank certain sources of medical information up and down based on reputability, basically overriding their SEO nonsense.

- There are subtle indications for sites that have a high number of ads and trackers, allowing me to opt not to even click on those results.

- AI summaries and answers are not on by default, and simply adding a question mark to the end of my search allows me to get an AI generated answer to my inquiry. I've found these to be very good, but I don't always want them so the control is great.

- Marketing and ecommerce sites seem to be aggressively minimized, which makes the internet feel less like walking through a mall. I only really go to Google if I am shopping for something and want those kinds of results, but this is rare.

All of this makes for a much better experience of the internet overall for me. The reduced cognitive noise is well worth the $10 in my case.

I can't speak to how it preformed in non-English content, so you may be well served by using Google for German content in that case.

There is an increasing amount of UK TV uploaded to YouTube from whoever owns the rights.

It is far more likely that Bezos and Zuckerberg support Trump than fear being shot. Zuckerberg particularly, what makes you think this was a 180? The man has been doing machismo stuff like throwing spears at goats and challenging people to boxing matches for years. And have you seen the way Facebook is moderated, even years ago relative to the way Twitter was moderated under their old owners? Supporting Trump is in-character for Zuckerberg, even more so than Bezos.

I must say though, this "billionaires as terrified victims" narrative is hilarious. I hope the Democratic party rescues these poor billionaires from the man they're publicly supporting!

The problem with checked exceptions is they are best explained and utilized in a single threaded execution model where the exceptions can be bubbled up to the operator.

This is not, of course, the only way that checked exceptions can be utilized. But, all too often, that is by far the easiest way to reason on them. They represent a decision that needs to be bubbled up to the operator of the overall system.

Worse, the easy way to explain how the system should resume, is to go back to where the exception happened and to restart with some change in place. Disk was full, continue, but write to a new location. That is, having the entire stack unrolled means you wind up wanting the entire process reentrant. But that is an actively hostile way to work for most workflows. Imagine if, on finding a road was closed, a cab driver took you back to pick up location to ask what you want to do about it.

If it is not something that you want to unwind the stack, or bubble up to the users, then you go through effort to wrap it so that it is another value that is being processed.
