I had motorolla, asus, and more high end phones but i'm a happy $120 xiaomi redmi owner here.

the problem with iphone (&ipad) is that apple forces some limitations, like say... no sd card. my sister -- who has ipad -- always have trouble moving files to non-apple devices

i used to say "i don't own iphone, i can't help you", just like when someone asks for general computer problem, equivalently as saying "i don't use windows, sorry"

now i don't get apple related questions because everyone i know uses android, either as primary or secondary phone.

my lenovo yoga only comes with wifi (no rj45) that's not detected during openbsd install.

could you please share where you get firmware for lenovo? thx

it seems that the interesting languages fall more on github side

the popular languages seems to fall more on stack overflow side

those on the line are vanillas

i can't think of use of 'if' in a math function; however, if is implicitly used in input, say 0<x<1, f(x)=x, 1<x<3, f(x)=x^2

i see a lot of loop though, summation is so a double integral is loop within loop. i can't think a code analogue with derivative

fta, i take that if in function body makes an ugly code.

having to put 'end' leaves bad taste, which is why i stopped learning ruby.

i learned lisp instead and now i'm learning lfe (lisp flavored erlang)

do i miss something by not learning elixir?

what a creative imagination for a spin

for motorbike, it's okay because the distance to front wheel is short and my vision is sharp up to the distance.

i can't read number plates and stuffs clearly; however, i don't drive to see those things clearly. my mission is move from a to b without collisions.

let's stop/reduce buying new glasses so there'll be no/less recycling.

i wore -4 diopter and i'm six months in 'no glasses' experiment after reading 'getting stronger' blog on eyes homeostatis. Here's what i found: - i can read books without glasses at all. i used to wear my -4 for anything. no more. - for laptop, i can use reduced (-2) and texts come sharp. i opt for no glasses and increase the text font size instead. - for driving <motorbike>, daylight gives sharper vision (it's like wearing a -2, with no glasses). it's a bit blurry for driving, but i don't need eagle-sharp clarity, i just need to avoid collisions.

so instead of donating your old glasses, you can use them to train your eyes, say for example: no glasses for books, -1 for tvs, -2 for laptop, -3 for driving, etc

i chose cold turkey because i often forget where i put my glasses and it's frustrating.

there is a plus lens therapy which i don't practice much because i keep losing my plus glasses.

box plot should be a better viz

If you don't have to name things, you have zero chance of getting bug caused by naming things

That's why i love anonymous function. it frees me from names overload

Raising chicken is a recession-proof investment which made robust by 'cloning' <- you put initial capital, got divident of its type; type can be money, chicken, plant, whatever; multiply base by cloning.

I plant kangkong. Initial capital is 1usd, about 300 stems. harvesting biweekly, i get 2600% roi. That's divident part.

I can clone the kangkong by cutting and replant cut stems. It's multiplying the capital part.

Similarly with chicken, one can eat dividend (eggs) and multiplying base (breeding/'cloning')

with cash only, i cannot get good dividend (say, by buying bond); much less luck with cloning cash legally.

Extrapolating to basic income, observe that poverty is lifted fast if the cash is invested in high roi activities (like entrepreneurship) that grow and scale fast.

It's the type of activity that matters more than the cash.
