You probably simply don't know what this is about. When Android phones "age" to a certain point, they become locked (user cannot log into the OS), and the only way to circumvent this is by jailbreaking them and installing a different firmware / OS.

I have a Galaxy S7 that is in this condition, and I haven't the time to try to reinstall it.

Many users never face this problem because they buy new phones before their old ones hit this particular point, often because many applications will stop working before that due to developers discontinuing support effectively rendering the phone useless. I ran into this problem because I kept my phone around due to some images stored on it (well, now that's lost forever).
I think skipping occasionally is fine, and in fact it's not terribly unusual to say "Hey, we don't have anything to talk about this week" and just cancel this week's meeting. But skipping every week or canceling them outright is not really acceptable. Part of the job on both sides is enabling a feedback loop, and a 1:1 is the single best way to do it.

My team are welcome to come up with other ways to do it besides a 30 minute chat in a sterile room or over Zoom, but we need to keep a regular cadence of feedback, or our working relationships will deteriorate.

I have one guy who just wants to go for walks, so instead of getting in a room, we'll both walk 15 minutes to a Starbucks, grab some coffee, and walk back, and that gives us 30 minutes to chat. Only occasionally will I insist on doing it with a whiteboard or a laptop, but those are usually when there's something more "formal" about it. I'd say we only do it in an office room about once a quarter.

For some of my team, it's a 15 minute chat, for at least two of them, they turn into 60+ minutes of discussion. There's no one-size-fits-all here, but there has to be _something_, IMO.

I do a lot of data engineering work, and people are horrified to learn how much costs increase as you go from daily/hourly batch jobs to real time or near real time streaming. Seems like a tweak but it does sometimes incur massive cost increases.
Airplay (and presumably Cast) support require a WiFi connection. I explicitly blocked external connections to mine.
CPS transforms all programs into tail calls, not tail recursive. It buys you TCE in trivially tail recursive functions but does not magically transform something that needs to preserve state across recursion into something that is stateless.

But you're right, that's what I'm getting at. Recursion is an inherent semantic and whether you make the stack explicit or implicit doesn't get rid of memory allocation problems. I said in another comment that stack allocation is still dynamic memory management, it's just something many people take for granted.
Never said otherwise :)

This is one of three major answers to the problem of Theodicy (justifying God in the face of evil) in Christian theology. They are:

1. Pedagogical (the one you mentioned) - Evil exists so that we may grow and learn. All evil will be used to create even greater good. Quintessential example would be the story of Job in the Old Testament.

2. Eschatological — Evil is a by-product of having any creation in time whatsoever, and will be fully restored at the end of all things. Another way of thinking of this one is that evil is "non-being", the absence of the good. A lack, a privation. Espoused by Augustine (and before him, Neoplatonism in general), and Aquinas.

3. Freedom-oriented — Evil (even natural evil) is a broken state of affairs caused by the freedom of people, who use that freedom against God. God nonetheless allows this because he allows us the dignity to choose. The official teaching of the Catholic Church. The straightforward reading of Genesis 2.

None of these say that "This <bad thing> is not bad" - Christianity acknowledges the existence of evil "as evil". However, with God's grace, evil may be healed or made to serve higher purposes.

I've read the Meditations -- in the Emperor's Handbook translation -- and they're nothing like GP is making them out to be.

In their original, unedited comment, they didn't even get Marcus Aurelius's name right, attributing the Meditations to Mark Antony.

Their take is such a wild and inaccurate mischaracterization of Stoicism that it's frankly not worth engaging with -- written absentmindedly while "listening to corporate policy announcements." Take it with a grain of salt.
Just an absolutely terrible take - ProPublica is one of the most reliable journalistic outfits out there.

Read the original story that prompted the chemical lobbyists to balk and point out where ProPublica says anything problematic. It's an extensively researched and data-backed story: https://www.propublica.org/article/formaldehyde-epa-trump-pu...

> I get that they are left-leaning, however, every single thing they write comes from the perspective of “let’s start under the assumption that a conservative perspective is wrong and let’s build a case to bolster that assumption.” They’re published not a single story that doesn’t lean left. The assumption that the “left” is always correct until proven otherwise is just a slightly more sophisticated appearing version of what Fox News does more overtly.

Or their lack of follow-through on investigating cyber attacks: https://www.propublica.org/article/cyber-safety-board-never-...

Or the failed FAA 5G rollout with the following quotes (https://www.propublica.org/article/fcc-faa-5g-planes-trump-b...):

> The process first ran off the rails under President Donald Trump. It then festered under the administration of President Joe Biden — which ProPublica’s reporting shows impeded the FAA when it finally decided to act — until a crisis forced an intervention.

..

> But a new impediment had arisen: the Biden administration. The White House was discouraging any public action, as was the FCC, which was now operating with a Democratic chair but was every bit as supportive of 5G and the telecom industry’s position on it as Pai had been. They assured the FAA that the agencies and industries could somehow still work out the problem quietly. (A senior FCC official denies the agency requested any delays.)

Their focus on civil rights, criminal justice and corporate abuses could be coded as left-leaning I guess, but those things seem to be keeping them pretty busy.
That programming language exists.

The old FORTRAN and COBOL language versions were like this.

In ancient FORTRAN programs, the programmer typically computed a maximum possible size for the data and allocated statically in the main program one or more work arrays corresponding to that maximum size, which were either placed in a COMMON block of global variables or they were passed as arguments to the invoked functions and subroutines.

In the functions or subroutines, the work arrays were typically partitioned by allocating in them various local variables.

Overall, this approach was more reliable, because there were no risks of exceeding the memory limits, but it was much more tedious for the programmer, because the worst cases for memory usage had to be accurately predicted.

It is crazy that they really have no idea the amount of transparency that was already there in government spending. Nothing they have yelled about was at all hidden. It was just boring.

So, seeing their stunts on full transparency with no accountability for accuracy is just maddening.

..practical to replace commercial airliners, sure. There have been plenty of slow electric planes.

In the future, net-zero air travel can only be done by producing jet fuel in a carbon neutral way.
The mechanism through which fossil fuel interests work is "grey hydrogen" which is hydrogen produced through processing of fossil sources with no eye towards carbon capture. Grey hydrogen is as polluting as just burning the fossil feedstock but works with an established hydrogen infrastructure.

This lets the producers "green wash" their production pipeline by stating in a lies-through-omission manner that their hydrogen is "clean burning". See no carbon out of the tailpipe! It's clean! It's the same lie as EVs claiming to be "green" in places where fossil fuel sources dominate electricity production. It's just moving the tailpipe somewhere else rather than eliminating it entirely.

There's also "blue" hydrogen that's manufactured with fossil fuels but claims/intends to capture the carbon produced in the process. It can still feed into a hydrogen infrastructure so fossil fuel companies love it due to the same greenwashing.

The only carbon neutral hydrogen is "green" hydrogen which uses a renewable source and electrolysis of water to generate hydrogen. But even that is wildly less efficient on net than just using renewables to charge battery EVs. Electrons are far easier to move long distances than hydrogen or hydrogen feedstocks (including water).
These are genuine questions, but please don't feel obligated to answer if you aren't comfortable. I'm fascinated to hear your story though.

... which then matters only to the extent that any given characterization makes it so (which is again subjective). It makes the discussion more sophisticated, but nonetheless still just a clashing of personal preferences.

I really don't see value in this. If it wasn't treated as a debate but as an exploration, an open ended discussion, then sure. But as it stands, this is just pointless. Literally "I don't like it vs. I do", just more elaborate, with a hint of mutual mislead of the other into thinking it's winnable.
Press Your Luck Scandal
Possibly too broad of a question but any insight you can provide on the definition of "work" in the context of being a digital nomad in the U.S. would be helpful. For example, if I am a European citizen who works for a European company and enters the U.S. on a B-2 for a 2 week vacation, is it reasonable to interpret the prohibition on "work" as meaning I am not allowed to participate in the U.S. labor market but does not prohibit taking a zoom call with my team back in Europe? The common sense application of immigration law is that it's not work for immigration purposes but I'm curious if you have a more nuanced take and/or any insight.

According to "International Digital Nomads: Immigration Law Options In The United States Abroad" published in The Georgetown Law Journal[1] some jurisdictions have specifically said that it is not work which is what I'm leaning on for my current (optimistic?) view.

"Directors of the CBP office in South Florida, a leading winter locale for visiting “snow birds,” recognize that “[w]orking remotely from the US for a foreign employer, by itself, is not a violation of B visitor status” so long as “the work is incidental to the primary purpose of the trip,” which is a permissible visit."

The "leaving ecosystems alone" ship sailed almost everywhere on Earth tens of thousands of years ago. Humans have always been a part of, and had impacts upon, the ecosystems we've lived in. Certainly moreso in recent centuries.

Not to say that further interventions will be helpful in "reestablishing balance".

Even the concept of "balance" or homeostasis has long been recognized to not really exist in any ecosystem.

> No device should be updated without the *owner* explicit intention to do so.

That point has practical issues, because most consumer electronic customers are technically dumb.

Consequently, you end up with a long-tail of deployed device firmware versions, which makes support a nightmare (fix this external integration that broke... across 20 different versions).

I'd phrase it more in terms of:

- Every device must include an option for owners to disable automatic firmware updates.
I can only respond about the potential U.S. immigration impact but there is nothing in the law at present that would allow the U.S. Government to take away your citizenship. It's unbelievably upsetting and shocking, to me at least, that a U.S. citizen would ever have to seek asylum in another country but that's the world we're living in now so it's a fair question.

Six mistakes I made in my dioramas-and-felt Steam game and one I didn't
Dave Turner is making a point-and-click game with no CGI. All the locations are real-world dioramas he built and photographed. Special effects are done with stop-motion animation of felt.

Dave says: Often when you watch videos of people doing crafts on the internet, they're people who have been doing it for years. They don't make mistakes, or if they do, they don't really show them to you. I haven't been doing any of these crafts for years. So I've made lots of mistakes, and I want to show them to you, so you don't get the impression that this is easy.
My comment is much less dismissive and ridiculous than the top comment I am replying to. I didn't say I hate wood or find it impossible people would like wood. If you wanted to look at it from the point of view of a debate vs exploration mine was closer to the exploration end.

> I suspect that screaming at a person who has done you wrong, in the vast majority of cases, has both the intended effect and a desirable one.

Not usually. Just some examples:

Customer service people tend to be trained to de-escalate and send things up a level. Sometimes they call it "killing with kindness"; basically you repeat your stance with a smile on your face until the person going wild either calms down on their own or leaves. Either way, the person yelling does not get what they want. On the other hand, if you're charming to customer service people, a lot of times they'll bend the rules for you if they can, and if they can't -- well, you don't have to have on your conscience: "ruined the day of someone making minimum wage"

In long term relationships (say, work relationships or family relationships) this sort of excessive emotionality doesn't work either. In a job, you'll probably just get fired, or if you're the boss, people will avoid telling you things. Your family can't fire you, but they can set a boundary and stop dealing with you.

Basically, what I'm trying to get across is that uncorked rage is very rarely effective. It may work once or twice but it's a bad overall strategy.

If you don't want to be exploited, a controlled show of mild anger is a lot more effective. People who are not in control of their emotions can be easily exploited, but those who are in control of their emotions are not. I think you think there's this axis of Rage-a-holic <--------> Door-Mat, but the problem is both ends of those axes have people that aren't in control of their feelings. The door mat lacks control also, but in their case it presents as withdrawing from the world.

No one wants to, in large part because it's a fucking nightmare. I say that as someone who not only knows how, but knows how to write the code for it too. Why is it so hard? What makes it a nightmare? Their business model requires a walled garden, because otherwise...

Anyways, People have no issues migrating from myspace to facebook, or from youtube to instagram to tiktok. If it wasn't a fucking nightmare full of bullshit, user hostile rules (e.g. manifest version, or max age of TCP connections) there'd be a market for Google alternatives.

This is common in parts of Europe, an electric power station supplies hot water to apartment buildings via underground tubes. In fact, there's one near me where the pipes cross a bridge!

The water isn't quite as hot as it needs to be when it arrives, so it's heated additionally in the building itself.

The article mentions a similar approach, with steam instead of water:

My Samsung TV got more and more unusable with every update. Over the years, saved apps, like Youtube, started to disappear every time it woke up. Then it would default to their Samsung TV app, rather than your last app. Samsung TV app happened to be on the Baywatch channel every time my young children started the stupid thing. Finally, after it took 2 minutes to load the youtube app, I factory-reset the device, disconnected the internet from it, and put a Beelink mini PC in front of it. Works flawlessly.

But if it only allows the manufacturer to remotely execute arbitrary code on a device without the user's consent, it's called an automatic software update mechanism and most people somehow consider that it's totally fine.
Technically correct, but quite misleading. The idea of "trust in God" or "faithfulness" is completely central to Job. The story doesn't concern itself with "doctrinal faith", but it implicitly discusses "faith" in the general sense of trust in the providence of God in the face of challenges that might make one abandon Him.

This is sound advice for keeping yourself free from malware as well. Many of these TVs end up running super vulnerable junk that doesn’t get updated and has known exploits.

I’ve had two devices end up with malware like this. A Sony blue ray player that was uploading 2gig a month before I caught it and a Samsung tv.

It’s worth mentioning you have to block or change WiFi credentials. The device with malware may attempt to connect to any known wifi even if you disable it on the device. I get 45000 auth attempts a day from my tv.
