There is also one in Palo Alto, California! https://www.paloaltozoo.org/Exhibits/Solar-System-Model

I tried Jellyfin after some frustration with Plex and found it an inferior relative to Plex so I'm still on Plex. Lifetime Plex Pass is the solution here for now given Plex has not clawed back any features and in fact has added features to the pass.

I wonder how much of this sentiment is driven by Apple saying Snow Leopard was taking Leopard and focusing on performance and stability?

They consistently incentivize you to scan pokestops (physical locations) through "research tasks" and give you some useful items as rewards.

There are plenty of non-scan tasks you can do to get those rewards as well but I do think Poffins (largely useless unless you are grinding Best Buddies) are locked behind scan tasks.

Yeah, he certainly could've been more pragmatic because I'm sure ultimately he wants to see the problem solved, not figure out who to blame.

Do you normally apologize for people feeling offended about what you said instead of just apologizing?

Funny running into your here Danny! :)

I run into a lot of people with the same situation as you and I always tell them to just write about whatever gets them putting words down and out there. Programming problems, pearls, learnings, video games, food, whatever floats your boat.

Ultimately almost no one will read it save for one person who runs into the exact same issue or loves the same exact dish at the restaurant you love. Fear of being judged shouldn't stop you.

If you're buying an Android device, you're statistically likely trying to save money and therefore a new iPhone isn't a realistic option.

Disagree strongly. Yes, plenty of Android phones come in at lower price-points so they will be more appealing to people looking to save money when purchasing a smartphone. But calling this is "statistically likely" is a gross exaggeration of the situation.

Last time I pointed that out I was downvoted for some unknown reason.

Hard to believe but the number of votes something gets != the quality or accuracy of the statement.

Not even Apple can make iCloud “Just Work™” the way Dropbox’s client apps and service work.

Not surprising. Apple's main business isn't building a file syncing service and while they're a much larger corporation I'd bet that Dropbox has more resources dedicated to its core product compared to Apple's iCloud file syncing offerings.

No subtitles on the Shanghai video... 不好！

When did you last do Android? I've done both for about eight years and while the development tools at first on Android were total trash I cannot stand Xcode and the iOS development ecosystem these days.

Throw in Swift and things get worse. On the other side, Java/Kotlin interoperability in Android Studio is great and the tooling keeps improving.

This is a recurring theme here where people over-engineer their devices, workflows, and lifestyle. Then they get burned by it and blame everything except that over-engineering.

Quick glance looks like it's a starter document for Common Lisp: what is Lisp, good resources for beginners, and projects to look at.

I'm surprised to hear a native Californian would say "back east." I thought only people from the East Coast (or I guessed who lived there at one point) would go "back."

Couldn't you have give also vague, but accurate information as well?

Could you give me an example of what you consider "vague, but accurate information?"

But I wonder if it has anything—even in small part—to do with the bad contrast on a lot of sites and the fact that browsers render highlighted text with good contrast. Even on high-contrast sites like Medium, the bright background combined with dark text can be tiresome on the eye, meaning that highlighted text will invert that yielding a more comfortable white text on blue. As someone who doesn't randomly highlight text, I often intentionally highlight text to quickly and nearly-effortlessly correct bad color selections by the site's designers.

Mostly to ensure I keep my APM high on HackerNews.

Only in the same instances you would in Java-to-Java. So the ergonomics aren't improved or reduced.

This isn't correct. For example you have a String that was passed as a param and were shoving it into JSONObject. In Java if it's null nothing bad happens (except shoving a null value into your JSON). Shoving a null into a JSONObject in Kotlin won't crash in the put operation; you'd get the crash as soon as the method is called and it does the Intrinsics check.

They could have gone hardcore and said any non-primitive, unanotated platform type is nullable but that would have made interop really ugly.

Instead you just get a crash if it is null which is worse in my opinion.

And all of the null checks would have muddied up code and added (admittedly minimal) runtime costs.

This already happens automatically for parameters to a Kotlin function; check out the Kotlin Intrinsics checks.

"We know that some of you feel Apple has let you down. We apologize."

Really disappointed, but not surprised, with the wording of this post. We're sorry YOU FEEL disappointed. It's like apologizing for making someone feel offended instead of apologizing for offending them outright.

I always thought this was "basic driving" knowledge that some people just don't get. Is the solution really to add more markings and signs to the street? Do you need "Left lane is for passing" along hundreds of miles of a highway in California?

Princeton went about it the way Brown is striving to do now: meet 100% of a student's financial need with grants and no loans. You don't need to lower tuition (and hurt "prestige") if you can do this.

Richer universities have no incentive to do so because they can attract enough full-paying students and have a large enough endowment to pay for everyone else.

From personal experience, this statement is wrong. A lot of my classmates at Princeton were not paying the full sticker price. Princeton also has a need-blind admission process so admissions and financial aid are kept (on paper at least) separate.

Not true. There are plenty of new players entering the scene everyday. I got one of my coworkers into StarCraft just recently and he's already 1v1ing without anything you mentioned. Yes, there are toxic players out there but that goes for any community.

Also count "impressions" as the number of times something appeared on screen.

I was under the impression that this was the standard, widely used definition of an impression which you are correct differs from the normal definition of impression.

Exercise is in the post title and article title. Exercising = taxable event in most places I'm guessing.

This is kind of already being done by Sunflower Labs. https://sunflower-labs.com/

It's not perfect (it may even be terrible) but I can charge my computer, my phone, and my Nintendo Switch with it which is a huge improvement over the last generation of cable mayhem.

Are you guys based out of Bath, UK? Visited it this past summer and loved it! :)
