The iOS system isn't really useful for writing programs on the device mostly due to the filesystem being weirdly off limits to apps. But in the past I've used an iPad to SSH into servers where I happily wrote code. And now that they support cmd-tab, it will be even easier. If there was mouse support it could conceivably replace my laptop (especially if I ever embraced web based IDE's).
Still no WebRTC support?

They actually have distinctly different promotional offers in the same areas online, in person, and over the phone. You cannot register for an online-only deal in person or over the phone. It's a wonder their service even works at all.
swift comes with 'swift-ide'test' which I believe is the linter/codecompleter that would allow any text editor to have the features that xcode has
I had that problem and almost turned it off before noticing that you could adjust the pressure sensitivity. At the maximum setting I never run into the issue anymore.
From BIP32:

> One weakness that may not be immediately obvious, is that knowledge of a parent extended public key plus any non-hardened private key descending from it is equivalent to knowing the parent extended private key (and thus every private and public key descending from it).

Does blockcypher get the extended public key? Can you use hardened derivation? IIRC the only reason not to use hardened derivation is so that someone else can compute more public addresses for you.

The power of Lambda comes from being able to use other AWS services. Lambdas on their own are not very interesting.

A true Lambda alternative, open-source or otherwise, would also have to offer alternatives to DynamoDB, S3, SNS/SQS etc. Without those you're basically reinventing CGI.

It seems like governments are somewhat uniform in the laws they pass, but fundamentally fickle about which laws they choose to enforce. In my state, for example, it's a felony to be a member of a subversive organization...

Yes, of course, just as the alcohol industry did. Nobody makes any money selling alcohol.
the issue that ive found when i was troubleshooting clients phones for "where is all my storage" is that the system does not automatically remove cached files like music/ spotify offline etc.

Really good questions. We aren't sharing the details of the technical design quite yet (but will have more to say as we approach first flight).

Regarding engines: our first prototype (1/3 scale) flies with an off-the-shelf GE engine. For the product airplane, we're taking an existing subsonic engine and adapting it for supersonic flight. (Sorry, I know that's vague—much more to say about this in due time.)
wow nice!
I was only aware of the call button (useless 3 contact shortcut) and app store instant search. this is almost like a Easter egg.
"we don't have a single preferential way of allocating budget." That's a very charitable way of saying there are no priorities in Washington and there never will be.

I don't mind discussions of cutting the federal government drastically even with overblown threats of riots and unrest. Why continue to prop up a federal system that was never designed to scale up to the size it is and that is out of control? It can't be fixed by any amount of tinkering so just let it collapse back to the original limited powers concept.

U.S. state and local governments do a much better job spending taxpayer money, just revert all these poorly run federal agencies and programs back to the state level.
Seems like this company is a custom web design company, so it is in their best interest to perpetuate the "Wordpress is bad" meme.

I believed in the product and in my team, and was still slightly on fire from my own most recent attempt at founding a startup.

There's no shame in picking a suboptimal solution if it addresses stability and anxiety concerns--it's just important not to stay if things get better and you can't upgrade the solution.
"I will apologize" and "please accept our apologies" are ways to distance the speaker from the actual act of apologizing, but are not the act itself. They lessen the pain of actually saying "I'm sorry". I think we only started to accept them as such when the phrasings became so pervasive because of business-speak. It's similar to the difference between "mistakes were made" and "I made a mistake".
I strongly distrust glassdoor. A former employer used to ask interns to fill out glassdoor reviews during a t-shirt give out party. Needless to say those were the 5 star ratings all happening on a single day.
> it has to treat those people who become addicts instead of just imprisoning them.

I'm not sure if you're implying that the rate of addiction would increase due to legalization but regarding that claim, the Netherlands and Portugal provide interesting data points.

In Portugal, the rate of addiction decreased after they decriminalized all drugs.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/wonk/wp/2015/06/05/why-h...

In the Netherlands: "In 1985, nearly 100 percent of methadone patients were aged below 40. In 2014, almost all of them were older than 40."

https://news.vice.com/article/only-in-the-netherlands-do-add...

Also, diversion to treatment programs could lead to significant cost savings. Those savings could be invested in treatment programs that are more effective than whatever is available today.

"Research conducted in part by Temple University and published in the online journal “Crime & Delinquency” found that only ten percent of state prisoners who abuse drugs or are drug-dependent receive medically based treatment while incarcerated. If that ten percent had received treatment in community-based programs instead of serving jail time, the prison system would save $4.8 billion - nearly the amount paid out to the Bureau of Prisons. Those savings would nearly triple if just 40 percent of eligible offenders received the same sort of treatment."

https://www.thefix.com/content/treatment-instead-time-look-p...

"Maryland, for example, saw average costs for offenders decrease from approximately $20,000 to $4,000. The same report on JusticePolicy.org mentioned that the costs for treatment generally range from $1,800 to $6,800, far less than the cost of incarceration. California’s Proposition 36 mandated that those entering the justice system on drug-related offenses be given substance abuse treatment rather than a prison sentence. The state initially spent millions on the first few years of the program but estimated that, at a long-term glance, the program could save the state up to $150 million annually."

It's a big country, the salaries are distorted by SF/SV, NYC and select other large employers.

Where I live in a rural small town, I make top 5% tech salary (~80k$ canadian pesos). The same salary in Montreal is probably 25-30 percentile of tech salary? In Vancouver it probably would be 45th percentile of tech salaries. That said a the price of a Vancouver condo buys a Montreal Duplex and buys a whole New Brunswick suburban sub-division... Or a mansion with a few acres on the sea front and 5 bedrooms / 7 baths...
Graphical programming cannot make the activity of programming easier. Programming is encoding a system of rules. It doesn't matter whether you do it by point-and-click or by written language, the rules remain the same. The "ease" of point-and-click is discoverability of possible rules and intuitive representation of said rules, but that's nothing that a good IDE can't do at the code level just as well.
This looks great! (And I'm glad my library, bitmerchant, is getting some use!)
Just to let you know, most HR circles usually completely disregard self reported salary info because it has a tendency, (even when anonymously reported) to inflate the actual amounts.
I started a survey site to try and capture some of the non compensation type of information that developers might be interested in, thinking that glassdoor really took care of the monetary type of stuff. http://codehappy.info

Which also takes time, energy and depending on how much you grow, a possibly higher energy bill at the end of the month.

I know for years, cops used to co-ordinate with the local energy companies to spot houses that were suddenly spiking with energy usage and tip off the cops.

This ran into issues of guys trying to tap into their neighbors HVAC system or AC system to get more power and stay off the energy companies list. I would go out on a limb and say doing stuff like that is just as dangerous as having an illegal still.
Well, that's good at least. Must have been very recent, I was talking to support only a couple weeks ago.
Don't upvote this. This is a shallow ad for their agency (which evidently doesn't do WordPress development).

This article highlights the worst of the "webmaster" mentality – ignoring the end results in favor of things like validation errors and tools used.

They trust Hillary as a politician because the source code has secret comments? Seriously? And then they trash Chris Christie for the same exact thing. And Bernie gets two thumbs down (and a shot at him for being a socialist... along with an ad for the authors) because he used WordPress? They call his site a mess but don't describe why. Bernie's site is impeccably designed and works well.

I'm sad about this article. Design and the web play a HUGE role in presidential campaigns. I happen to believe that you can tell a lot about a candidate from their website. But this was a shallow, pedantic and opportunistic waste of a potentially great topic.

They absolutely shouldn't do this, but I bet that the vast majority of issues they handle are indeed the customer's fault.
Except that when they claim 1 day battery power, it's actually at most 0.5 days, with slightly above average usage or after the phone has aged a year. I'd love to have something that's designed for 1.5 days, so that I could actually get a full day out of it!
"you can export the whole sheet and perform your own analysis or just copy the sheet and use Google Spreadsheet to run formulas and/or generate charts/graphs."

I can't see a way to get the data out of there other than saving as a html page, there are no standard google docs controls available. Am I missing something?
Why does it even matter? Why people believe what they believe is more nuanced than "freedom". Freedom is certainly is a factor but not the only.

Stereotyping everyone in a community is easy but ultimately lazy and somewhat pointless. Unless you're running for office.
As someone who has been through many treatments, meetings, clinics, etc, regarding addiction, you are focusing on the wrong thing. Who cares what it is called... go get help first, any help, then worry about arguing about semantics later.
iOS is great for most people, but I figure most people on this site are "power" users, and desire more options with the hardware.. I just want OSX on a tablet. kinda like http://www.modbook.com/modbookpro

One interesting idea they floated by in the podcast is that the general quality of the candidate's website (something technical that they themselves probably don't completely understand and have to lean on the experience of others - and know the "right others" to listen to) correlates in some way to what they would be like as president (managing things that they themselves don't completely understand and have to lean on the experience of others - and know the "right others" to listen to) which I hadn't really thought of before, but I might make a habit of reading source before I vote in the future.
Doing this on LinkedIn would be really bad, because that data would be out there for recruiters, and you'd lose most of your leverage when trying to negotiate at a new job.
Hi,
I'm a CS student in Europe and about to finish my MSc.
I haven't got a clue about what to expect salary wise once I leave university.

Looking at the spreadsheet I noticed, that all the jobs in the US easily make twice the money then the european ones.
Since according to Google 1$ is about 0.9€, if you make 100k in the US this should roughly translate to 80-90k €.

Now I do get that in the US you have to take care of all kinds of insurances yourself, but it can't possibly be as much as double the salary or am I wrong?

So if someone could roughly sketch the huge salary difference that would be great.
> two and a half years.

The iphone 5 came out in 2012, that's 4 years now.
Maybe because it's called a simple spreadsheet of salaries. Including that other stuff would make it not just about salaries, and not simple.

So other than that, spot on.
So, it turns out this is a fairly clever (remember kids: clever doesn't mean good) of discrediting people who want to be seen as either conscientious objectors or principled. Make them go back on their word, often in public. But the videos of apologies and such that get released are really just the tip of the sword.

Their interrogation techniques have been known to be extremely brutal right up until the moment you apologize -- even if it's just two people in a room with cameras off -- because the Chinese government wants it that way. They want the rules to be extremely well known.

Everyone knows you get beat till you go back on your "disruptive" ideals. Sometimes they permanently cripple people or put them in a coma. 99% of the time, though, they release them. That way, everyone knows, when they see that the dissident is basically fine, that they betrayed their own beliefs, even if it was in private, even if no one saw.

Completely irrelevant aside: it's stuff like this that comes to mind when people talk about how dysfunctional the American government is. The Chinese government can have complex policies with parts that a lot of people find uncomfortable or wrong, and still have the whole system the way that will be most effective instead of most comfortable -- their astounding urbanization and rise in not just wealth but advanced skills and it's relation to the hukou system is a good example -- but when you have unchecked power... this is another consequence.
Their notes with "uh, this is such a mess, should've just hired THIS company instead" with a link to their own homepage is a pretty big giveaway too. I just hope it was done in a joking tone because unironically referring to themselves in a third person is as cringe-worthy as it gets.
Thanks @buss for your library! It's very well written, I recommend it to people all the time.
I’m not sure you’d really want the crap-fest that is Xcode’s code. It has so many bugs and issues that it’s a better idea to completely dump it and either start over or give up and adopt something like AppCode, like Google did with Android Studio. Making developer tools is just not Apple’s forte and Xcode’s sad state of quality and performance is clear indication of that.

I’m thoroughly convinced that Apple has an internal-only IDE that they use that is far better than Xcode and is actually functional, much like the internal Radar tool. There is no way Apple’s engineers could get any work done if they use Xcode.

Or, they should start charging money for it so they could justify spending resources on the dev tools. One of the reasons (among many) that Visual Studio is still the king of all IDEs is because Microsoft charges money for the serious bits of it (Pro and higher).
It's so much less harrowing, though, to get home with 33% of your battery left than 5%. Not to mention those days when you go out for dinner or drinks after work -- you have to carry a battery?
Ah, thanks - it was the U that threw me off..

You realize that /dev/ is for devices, not developers, right? The title of the OP is fairly misleading because of that.

Otherwise, an interesting project. I'd be interested to know why you chose Python and if/how you protect against code poisoning on the user's machine.
I dislike the 3d touch on the new macbook trackpad for the same reason. i try to move something but it decides to show me a dictionary definition of that word. does anyone use the dictionary that much for this to be the default behavior?
Why is this phenomena a cost to society? By this phenomena, real prices are able to decrease, with all the concomitant benefits of having reduced expenses.
I think it hinges on whether the private prison industry is lobbying for more funding per prisoner or tougher laws that result in more prisoners (or longer sentences). If they argue for safer prisons, better rehabilitation programs, more security for guards -- the public should be skeptical but open. If they want to just lock more people up and then bill the government -- that would be somehow like teachers' unions lobbying for less birth control to influence the birth rate and therefore create more demand for teaching jobs. It seems perverse.

In other words, we need prisons just like we need schools, even if people like schools more we shouldn't vilify corrections officers just because they work in an industry we don't care to interact with. It's all about their conduct, which has been terrible. Teachers unions are also self-serving, but they at least pretend to have the child's interest at heart.
> Not really.

Yes really.

> The products aren't upgradable or repairable by the end user

See? Yes really indeed.

> as they demonstrated today, they are upgradeable (to brand new things like solar panels) and repairable by Apple themselves.

Recycling is neither upgrading nor repairing.

> I for one hate the idea of an end-user upgradeable smart phone. That sounds like a minefield of driver issues and the like that I just don't want. Its why I moved away from Windows in the first place.

I'm not talking changing GPU (which doesn't really make sense on a laptop let alone a cell phone), I'm talking about soldered RAM and non-standard SSD connectors on laptops, and heavily glued batteries behind tons of odd screws on both phones and laptops. No drivers involved, and the ability to increase device lifespan by years.

> I think it makes a great deal of sense to consolidate the upgrades and repairs

Again, recycling is not upgrading or repairing, it's taking waste and re-making into product, that requires more materials and energy than not having to do that and being able to keep using the product in the first place.

> they can do it far more efficiently at scale.

That makes literally no sense. Recycling, even at scale, can't be more efficient than not making product into waste in the first place. You can't recover as much matter and energy as was put into building the product to start with unless you've found a way around everything we know of thermodynamics, and if you have what are you commenting on internet forums for? You've basically solved all the world's problem!

Hi,

Thanks for the reply.

I would like to retract the statement that it was a member of staff, you are correct, this may have not been the case. It was a while ago and it may have just been someone in the know, who didn't actually work for google.

I didnt expect anyone to even notice my comment.

I should have been more careful with my statements.

I will be removing the comment when HN allows me to log back in (apparently I can log in again in about an hour).
Is that really a big factor compared to police departments?
I'll reply to the thread here since I think many people have forgotten how NS menus worked.

By default the appl menu was in the upper left, it went down and submenus opened to the right.

You did not like it there, just move it to where ever you liked, NS remembered where you wanted it for every individual appl.

Want access to to a particular submenu at any time, just tear it off and drag it to where ever you like.

Don't want to move the mouse to get to the menu, just middle click and the appl menu appears under your mouse cursor.

NS menu was best of both approaches.
Cloud Datastore is more like DynamoDB, not S3. Cloud Storage is like S3. Yay names!

Custom runtimes are trying to give people the "No Ops" of App Engine with the flexibility of Compute Engine. Like always, there are tradeoffs, but more options is usually better :)

Unfortunately the keyboard force touch only works about ~70% of the time, which is too unpredictable for me to start incorporating into regular use as a user.

It's odd that after ten years of development, Apple still hasn't made their keyboard just work. Selecting and manipulating text is still buggy and unpredictable.
A point release every n months is utterly useless for on-the-ground web developers. Safari needs to move to the Firefox/Chrome deployment model if it wants to remain at all relevant.
It's almost like if he wanted to do this and only include salary information he should have called it 'a simple spreadsheet of salaries'.

That way we'd know at least.
Do companies typically subscribe to an easy to define culture? Could you give some examples?
I'm not as optimistic as most seem to be. I think SC adds a completely new layer to the game, that none of the previously learned games had. It's not enough to play the game just by rules that are implied by the pixels.

In chess, go, and even simple atari games, you have a clear way of reading the current state of the game in which the next move will be based on. In SC, this state space includes the predictions of your opponent. What will your opponent build next? What will they try to do with their army? There's an element of theory of mind here, where opponents try to project themselves and preempt each other's moves.

For an AI to truly play and win against a SC pro, using only human level interfaces, it would need to learn how human minds will be playing the game. Otherwise, I think we can expect a strong AI with unconventional tactics that SC pros will be able to fool with tricks and take advantage of because the AI lacks a meta-game capability. A more "general intelligence" would be needed to play at this level, not just a learning algorithm that learns from the pixels on the screen.
