No... not exactly. It's interesting that you pick that one, because Alan Kay talks at length about this subject (poke around YouTube and you can find clips if you're interested). Most of that tech came about because there was a lot of paranoia, a lot of money, and not a lot of good ideas. So they took the money and threw it at universities and research labs, without very many strings attached. Once it started to look like we were winning, all the funding dried up.

Why do they keep saying 1-bit but then 16-level grayscale? That's 4 bits.

Looks neat but a bit small at 6.8". I'm nervous that the stylus might be small and cramping for my hand. I'm not big, just that a lot of stuff is small for design purposes first, usability second. (See: every MS mouse after the Intellimouse Explorer.)
Denver, CO | Senior UI/UX | Full Time | ONSITE | Firepoint Solutions

Senior User Experience and Interface Designer (UX / UI)

Company Information
Firepoint is a quickly growing, energetic, investor-backed start-up company that is full of talented and fun people. We help residential real estate teams and agents to manage and generate business more effectively through sleek, intuitive, and well-designed web applications.

Job Description
At Firepoint, we emphasize great user experiences with beautiful and clean design as the most important part of well-designed software. Because of this, your ability to design excellent user experiences is crucial to the success of our product and company. Being able to think creatively, empathize with user’s needs, and make decisions is crucial.

As Senior User Experience and Interface (UX/UI) Designer, your primary responsibility will be to understand the complex needs of users and product owners and translate them into a vision and design that is intuitive and delightful.

You will collaborate primarily with other Designers and the Product Owner to design mockups, wireframes, and/or prototypes, then translate your concepts into real frontend code that backend developers can hook up. Once you’re done coding, you will write or explain how to implement the frontend code you’ve written to Backend Developers, so detail-orientation and strong communication skills are a must. UI or UX related questions related to your designs will naturally come up during the course of development, and you’ll be the one to address them.

Once the feature is usable, you will have the opportunity to conduct experiments and assess user feedback to ensure it meets their needs in an enjoyable way.

There is exceptional opportunity for growth and leadership within the organization.

Srsly; I almost ran out of memory before I got to the bottom. I felt very strongly like they were trying to imitate the way Apple aggrandizes their products, but they took it 300% too far.

Another thing; the writing in the demo video appeared to be Katakana, but to most Americans, from 3 feet away (as the video was), it looked like the lady was writing English and it was being converted into gobbly goop.

Here's the issue, though - no matter how violently we may agree on the downsides of traditional project management, opinionated tools are just ahead of their time. The market is not at all ready to agree on what software workflow should look like. It just takes time for good techniques to propagate - this is such a young industry...

So until there is stable consensus among everyone up to even late adopters about how software work should be managed, any opinion built into the tool will end up being an obstacle for users who are still yet to learn agility the hard way.

The real value of an opinionated tool is the opinion itself. And that is something that has to be instilled first. Build a knowledge-base, a following, a community, then make the tool a companion piece.
How to remove a tick
My Galaxy S4 decided to melt its usb port in a car charger about a year ago. Since then, I've bought a couple of extra batteries (much cheaper than expected) and a couple of external chargers. Whenever I get around to upgrading and get a phone with a working charge port, I expect I'll continue my current practice. I'd much rather throw a spare battery that's little bigger than a credit card in my pocket than faff around with usb cabling or hope I make it through the day. Also the external chargers top a battery off much more quickly than charging through the USB ever did.
Didn't know BuiltWith was Aussie.
I was quite stunned by how long it was, I don't think I've ever seen a longer product page before. Once you get down to it though the resolution of that thing is quite impressive, I didn't know that you could get 1080x1440 px 6.8” e-ink panels. That's impressive. Not sure you could ever use it like they are picturing though, some of the examples have lines close to the edge where it is surely impossible to actually get the stylus.

If they set a date where the bounty would end, this wouldn't have happened. The cobra breeders would know their cobras would become worthless in a month, and so collect the bounty while they could.

The irony of your comment is that most ad companies play the victim and moralize how blocking ads is akin to murder.
Ad targeting has evolved alright, but not in a way that has helped consumers one bit.

It's become an arms race to the bottom, essentially. To coddle ad companies as if they are mom and pop shops that are struggling is not only naive, but dangerous.

The letter calls for "Cyber Threat Information Sharing Legislation" without specifying _which_ bill. But given that CISA is the only such bill in front of Congress, it looks like Apple has endorsed the bill (without technically endorsing it). Given the specifity of the other bills the letter mentioned, and how publicly unpopular CISA is, this seems like a massively spineless move.

If Apple is serious about privacy they should clarify and affirmatively oppose CISA.
No, assuming you're not an asshole, just want to reduce risk or make your own decisions in good faith, how can they force you to make a decision you normally wouldn't make?
> to transform the PHP wholesale into valid C# once

I'm not quite sure what you mean; PHP was only ever a target; there was no source in PHP. It was something VBScript-esque being compiled to both ASP (later C#) for Windows and PHP for Linux. This started, of course, long before Mono.
... I've got a bigger Huawei phone with a 4000mAh battery. My wife has a smaller Blu with a 5000mAh battery.

Not having to charge feels revolutionary. I only need to think about it once every two days. I can go out and never have to worry. Fall asleep whenever and never worry there phone won't be available when I wake up. It's quite a nice feeling.

If Apple had the decency to ship phones with a 24h+ battery, everyone would take it for such an obvious minimum standard there'd be no discussion. But since Apple's expensive phones don't do this, people have developed this Stockholm Syndrome where they feel fine that their high end device constantly runs down. Gift I've been thanked the most for? External 10,000mAh battery for an iPhone user.

Use standard technologies and no DRM garbage, and all devices will work with all services. But of course, some seem to never learn (i.e. video industry) and even try to use different feudal lock-ins for their dirty tactics.
Power over ones life is very important. In Norwegian labour law there's strict limits to work hours and overtime (I believe the TL;DR is: 40 hour week, 4 weeks paid vacation, every other Sunday off, no "non-essential" Sunday work, along with some caveats for seasonal work (eg: ocean fishing) - a baseline of 100 hours of overtime a year per employee, with the option to apply for another 100(?) on a case-by-case basis".

But those do not apply to people that can decide their own hours - managers (that are actually managers, and that can choose when they are present), or people in an "especially free position".

The latter one is a bit woollen, but it generally means consultants that really are free to set their own hours.

While the particulars of what's reasonable hours/off-time etc is debatable (and could use more research), I think the core idea, that working hard for yourself is much less harmful than being forced to work hard. While the hours might be similar, the stress is different when you decide for yourself how to spend your time.

I'd love to see some research on that, though.
Such devices need a standby power supply, one that delivers a few mA, to drive the circuitry that wakes things up. Or a power supply that goes to an ultra low power mode when its load drops. Both are available.[1][2] They add to the parts count. The cost penalty is minor for a TV, but noticeable for really cheap devices like speakers and wall wart power supplies.

This is one of those problems that yields to regulatory pressure. With some pushing, a solution like [2] below becomes standard, and adds about a dime of parts cost to everything that plugs in, probably paying for itself in the first month of usage. Without such pressure, all the crap power supplies don' have it.

The whole quote you're referring to:

FogBugz 7.0 will include a long list of simple
improvements that will make life dramatically
easier for people trying to get things done,
especially when they want to do things just a wee
bit differently than we do here in the Land of the
Fog. Every little feature will be a delight for
somebody, especially that person who keeps
emailing us because he can't believe that the
feature he wants which is obviously only six lines
of code hasn't been implemented in FogBugz 1.0,
2.0, 3.0, 4.0, "4.5", or 6.0, and if we don't get
it soon he JUST MIGHT HAVE TO GO OVER TO THE
AUSTRALIANS.

That reads like he's making fun of the idea that he's competing with Atlassian, not that he's existentially terrified of competing with Atlassian.
Additionally, it takes a second for each bit to load in after you scroll to it, which is pretty annoying. Chrome Windows 10.
Way more useful (for me anyway) is mapping Capslock to ESC. It works with any vi anywhere as long as you are using your main machine to connect. Also with inoremap don't you have to wait for the letter j to show up until you type your next character? That would drive me crazy.

Edit now that I have actually looked at the article: Yes, you can map it to Control but for me it's an awkward place to put a modifier. What if you want to do Ctrl-A? Ctrl-C? At least the way I type, I'm better off using the one in the corner.

I use Low Power Mode all the time since the iOS 9 update. It does work well.
Cheaper than I expected, but not cheap enough I'm willing to buy one just for the screen.
I was always sure I am not the only one with this idea but somehow never could find a similar web project via Google searches and never looked on Github. So, my bad.
That's because the product was first announced half a decade ago.
So, this is a meta-comment because it's really just about your comment, but I feel compelled to point out the unnecessary negativity, and the unforced errors, so to speak, in representing my words, what I want, and what I've done. I'm not even sure what to call it when you create things I cannot do any longer to maintain consistency with my position - but without any evidence that I've done those things, or want to do those things. It's something like a straw-man argument.

The right thing to do is to ignore it, but on the off-chance that you might be somewhat self-aware, I thought I'd give you the opportunity to catch yourself.
> and if I'm traveling I'm going to carry an external USB battery anyway because no practical smartphone is going to last for, say, a 7 day backpacking trip

Same here.

Basically the only situation where I'm still unhappy at this point is when I can expect to spend all day out doing stuff, but where an external battery pack of the bulky kind I have for extended travel still feels like overkill.

One simple example - going to a theme park, where I want to have as little weight with me as possible, and will be heading back home or to a hotel room at the end of the day, but will be regularly referencing maps on my phone, maybe taking pictures, texting to coordinate meetings with friends or family, etc.

Honestly, I'd be really happy with an iPhone that was completely identical to the current one except for being 1.5x or 2x the thickness, with that space filled with battery.

It's not as much legalese but trying to hide a wolf in sheep clothing.

They put other legislations around (I did not inspect them, so can't comment) and among them (in the center so person skimming it might miss it) they put: "Cyber Threat Information Sharing Legislation". They don't mention which bills they are referring to and they made sure that acronym doesn't match CISPA. If you search it you will find that there's no legislation with that name, and the only results you get are CISPA.

Why those companies want CISPA? Because it removes all liability from them when they share the data without a warrant. Basically we no longer will be able to sue them for violating our privacy.

Accepting the risk that other people might misbehave is price of freedom.

Do you want a General Purpose Computer? Or do you want an appliance that is ultimately controlled by someone else, where you have to get permission[1] if you want to use it in any way that wasn't pre-aproved? What are the odds that the things you want to do will continue to be approved when you ask for permission next year? Or ten years from now?

If someone can restrict how you use your device, you then they are de facto the actual owner of the device. Do you want to own the products[2] you buy, or do you want a future where property rights are rare and you have to lease everything?

The War On General Purpose Computing continues, and the people that wish the Turing machine could be stuffed back in its bottle have been wining small but important battles over the last few years. Apple deserves a lot of blame here, as the walled garden was previously limited to stuff like game consoles, but the the big problem has been the many developers that chose shiny tech, promises of easy development, end-user convenience, and short-term profit over the freedom to tinker with products you actually own.

Of course there will be costs and risks. Fighting this trend toward walled gardens, like any war, will probably require certain sacrifices. I suggest paying those costs now, as price of freedom will only increase.

[2] Many products, not just your "phone" (portable computer). Just look at the rush to throw a CPU and 802.11 PHY into absolutely everything. There are many example, but the current attempt by John Deere ( http://ifixit.org/blog/7192/john-deere-mess/ ) to circumvent the "first-sale doctrine" is a perfect example of what is going to happen to most products if we give up ownership.
I consider myself at least an intermediate user of Vim, and I'm glad that you mentioned the "f" motion (along with its cousins "t" and ";"). I don't think these keys get enough exposure among beginner Vim users (they aren't mentioned in vimtutor), but they allow you to quickly and efficiently move across files and do things like "ct(" (change text up to first left parentheses), which is super useful for changing function names.

Shameless plug: I wrote a plugin (https://github.com/unblevable/quick-scope) that facilitates the use of "f" and family that even beginners can take advantage of.
Well, because at best it confirms and solidifies a low anchor for their side of the negotiation, and at worst reveals them as a liar with whom the employer may not want to work.

You know, it's because of people like you (and a vast mass of people who don't care enough) that we can't have long-working phones. In short, a phone with greater battery life is a boon when you:

* travel a lot. It doesn't have to be often - but when you leave your room early in the morning for a long day in a new town, and use it a lot, it really gives you peace of mind to know that you will be able to make that last important call in the evening.

* forget to plug it in. Seriously: do I really really have to plug this gadget in evry single evening? what if I forget or don't have the means to, every once in a while? It's a flagship device we're talking about; isn't it supposed to make my life easier?

* want your phone to have extra margin of reliability just in case - either to prolong its life when the battery deteriorates over time, or use it in cold weather - I am not sure if it's permanent damage, but battery holds less charge in the cold.

The iPhone is not the worst offender - it's probably slightly above average as far as smartphone battery life goes, but, to me, saying that battery life is not an issue sounds like a blasphemy: we (the consumers) have just squeezed barely adequate battery life from the manufacturers and voicing the opinion that it's enough feels like inviting back the compromises that they (the manufacturers) are far too happy to use.

The battery pack sure solves some woes, but it's not by coincidence we call it a mobile phone: it is supposed to be self-sufficient. Do you like to carry around a second box on your body at all times, just to be able to use a smartphone reliably? I don't. Battery pack should be a bonus that's nice to have, not a requirement to last through the day.

About a year ago I took a look at rust, but I didn't particularily like it. It enforces a single approach to programming stuff (which sounds an awful lot like the golden hammer antipattern) and lacked essential tools - notably an IDE, an actual debugger and profiling tools.

Also, for gamedev you'd pretty much need either directX or openGL bindings. And proper Windows support. I'm not sure where Rust stands on any of these things lately.
Yeah, I couldn't resist. I never understand down-voting something you disagree with so I'm shocked each time it happens to me as I rarely down-vote people myself. I just wish someone would require you enter a reason for down-voting.
I was thinking more along the lines of contagious plastic-eating rust destroying civilization by attrition, but yours is a scary thought as well. As for plastic waste, I just vented out about it yesterday. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10308556.
Low power mode is my new permanent mode. I haven't done the science but it's roughly ~doubling my battery life.

I just wish it could be enabled from the swipe bottom panel or a gesture, or the triple home button click.
That's because almost every Atlassian product started off at a separate company that was then acquired.
Also, if you're targeting a JS implementation with generators, but no await, Q has an async method that uses generators to achieve the same result, albeit with "yield" instead of "await" (in fact, I believe babel's experimental await support uses generators as an intermediate transform; sure looks like it from the code it generates).

This means you can get await-like promise handling in Node.js using the --harmony_generators flag.
If you are interested in spending some cash on a writing experience, you may be much better off just buying some high quality pencils and paper. Get some Palomino Blackwing pencils and the branded sharpener. (This is not an ad, but) Just go to jetpens.com and spend the price of this device on some nice stuff. You'll love it. They have mechanical pencils that automatically rotate the lead as you write!
"mkdir /usr/local" is just making a directory. It's not like that suddenly triggers your battery to overheat and explode.

How can we make the visits more "sticky" and make them come back and actually continuously use the product?

Apologies, the vitriol wasn't directed towards you, specifically. You simply gave me an opportune moment to express dissatisfaction with the paradoxical desire of simultaneously wanting more locked down devices in the name of convenience and "security", while also making programming and/or CS a compulsory school subject.
