We never had Carrier locked phones. This seems to be a US only problem.

Yes, and I can attest they treated me well.

Yeah it implies the chatbot at some point said you can unite with it after death. There's no evidence of that in the article.

Can't read on mobile. Why do these people still use hard line breaks?

Does not make sense. I think the chatbot is a red herring.

LOL. So you want everyone to become skillful in using weasel words? Spoken like a true weasel.

Why would anyone assume Hacker news titles are maximally interesting? In practice they often aren't. I am with the OP on this one. Also 3.3 billion unique emails are strictly more interesting than just the addresses since an email incl

Cargo is just half the story. The other half is rust itself. It is an excellent language for writing abstractions.

That's the problem with C. It cannot have a sane cargo like system. The language is not built for writing libraries. There is a reason why everyone keeps reinventing the wheel when it comes to datastructures in C. Where is STL for C?

My effective rate of taxation is close to 40-50% here in India. I doubt I get one tenth the benefit. Rampant corruption, abysmal infrastructure, no rule of law...I could go on.

Technically it is a triode but that word would be misleading here since this device is more like a diode with a MOSFET like insulated gate.

Off topic: why is Aristotle held in such high regard? Isn't he the person who got almost everything wrong?

Okay, so I was wrong. You can get multiple harmonics if you use a long enough chain of inverters. I will simplify the paper mentioned in a sibling comment. In a long chain at any given point of time certain (variable number of) pairs of inv

Interesting, would have loved to read the paper. Unfortunately I don't have an IEEE subscription right now.

First look up Barkhausen criteria, then read the following. For ring oscillators gain will be greater than unity for only those waves whose period matches the gate delay. Only one such wave exists since the gate delay is a fixed number.

I think American houses don't have a power switch per outlet like the rest of the world. The only way some (most?) devices can be turned off is by pulling the cord.

I know decorators can be used to auto-memoise function arguments but I've never heard of @lru_cache for python.

I sure hope so. But realistically AI will thin the devops herd much more rapidly than "proper" development teams. I already use an LLM to crank out my configs, shell scripts, analyse my logs etc. LLMs are a lot better at these thi
