- hn92726819How does she get around the restrictions? I'm not aware of a way to do that on iPhone
- For anyone (like me) wondering what this is. Foamcore is foam with paper on each end (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foamcore)
Looks like people use it to organize board games: https://www.orderofgamers.com/abomination-foamcore-v1/
- That's true. I came off too dismissive. I like the advice, I was just disagreeing with:
> it’s clear to me why they rarely work: ...
and
> boring old discipline is much more sustainable approach
I like the idea of trying a more holistic approach, but grayscale doesn't have to contradict with that. Some people (myself included) can use grayscale as a tool alongside other things.
- Disagree. "Just do it" works for some people. Not everyone.
In my experience, I hated looking at a gray screen, so I just stop using my phone when it's in grayscale.
- Approximately the instant when a single component (RAM) of a comparable product (Gaming PC) became more expensive than the entirety of said product.
I wonder what you'd think if bus tires exploded in price and started costing .25 London busses per tire.
- I actually manually ran both ownCloud and Nextcloud manually before switching to docker.
Edit: just checked because I remember upgrading to Owncloud 6... This was 12 years ago to be fair.
- > We can make it a bit more terse using list comprehensions:
Amusing that there's not a list comprehension in sight.import functools as ft def fact(n): lst = range(1, n) return ft.reduce(lambda acc, x: acc*x, lst) - Nextcloud isn't lighter and leaner outside of docker. It isn't faster either
- That isn't a bug; it's working as intended. I do wonder if that could be mocked up easily in html to see what it feels like though. Sounds like a cool idea
- True, but it does seem like the best alternative here. If it's a SOAP API in 2005 for business customers, for example, then it sounds like the least bad option of the four (tell consumers to update, hold up the whole company's deployment, push negative ints, or push longs). I'm just saying that to me, it isn't hard to believe this was the best option here.
- That's great for you, but not everyone has the ability to do that. Android has a massive markershare. What are the odds that all of them can force their employer to get them a new phone?
Maybe that's something employers shouldn't do, but that doesn't change the fact that it's a reality and google is overstepping with this change.
- Right now, not many. My point is that they aren't flipping a giant switch from an open platform to a closed platform. They're boiling the frog -- slowly removing features until all choice is gone.
A few more years in this direction and Android can be as locked down as iPhone before Apple was forced to allow sideloading
- I'd believe it. Not sure when this is, but if it's a few years old and business software, they could probably asume everyone uses java, which doesn't even have unsigned integers.
- One interesting aspect of this is that when using a personal Android with a work profile, developer options and ADB is (or at least can be) disabled. BYOD will then imply you can't sideload at all.
- Do you see the direction they're heading? They're now making it so maybe .5% of android users know how to sideload. They're clearly chipping away at it, even though they might not be making all the changes at once.
- I disagree. If I take my phone in, I'm going to wipe it first. If someone asks me, I'd say they should do the same.
Now that I know it's a feature, I won't suggest that for iPhone users as backup+restore just sucks. (I know restore is easy, but bank apps, Signal, etc don't get backed up, so it is an annoyance)
- > That thing did not like port scans
What do you mean? As a security feature or would it crash or something if you port scanned it?
- Probably for a higher-level crate, (like the one the author wrote), but it adds computational complexity, and you don't want that by default with a low level crate like `image`.
For example, if you wanted to blur or grayscale an image, do you really want to rotate it? When you re-save it, you'll have to remove the exif rotation metadata too.
- Be warned: each layer of eink reduces contrast. With 4 layers, the contrast of the color boox tablet is terrible. Also, if you buy from boox, you have to pay about $50 to return it. Not worth it at all in my experience, unless you will always be in direct sunlight.
I went through that and then bought a Carta 1200 display BOOX 13.9 and it's amazing. Black and white only, but the contrast makes the device usable.
If you know you won't return the device, get it on their website because they'll give you extra pen tips and a case. I got mine on Amazon, so I missed out on the extra stuff because of my return experience.
