I've got 5GB free on my 16GB phone. You've explained why 16GB is not a good fit for you, but that doesn't mean it's not a good fit for anyone.
yeah, in retrospect it's obvious. How do you get any "vice" legalized. You figure out how municipalities and states can tax the fuck out of it.
Sadly the older developers I've come across still write code the way they were writing 25 years back, without any regard for changes and newer developments in their chosen languages/DBMS. I've had to spend days convincing them to move to using newer language/DB features, feeling like I'm banging my head against the wall
Playing with Dalmatiner DB (Time Series Database)
I use it mostly to control the cursor when I'm writing text, and seldom to peek/pop emails.

But now when have to write text on a phone without it, I notice immediately, it's mildly frustrating.
I bought a 5s recently (iPhone 3G -> iPhone 4 -> Nexus 4 -> Moto X 2013 -> Moto X 2014 before), because I had too many problems with Android. Mine feels incredibly snappy.
I completely agree that I want to hire programmers who want to constantly learn and improve, but I'm not sure that I should expect them to do so during a stressful high-stakes interview.
Excellent job of trolling us.
Sure, but music isn't really the sticking point anymore.

Infinity Blade 3 is 1.7 GB. A single photo takes up more space than a song from an album. 40 minutes worth of 4k video maxes out the device (and that's optimistically assuming the apps that come with the phone don't take up any space).
No updated MacBook Pro? That's annoying.

I was rather hoping for a small refresh to include the new Skylake processors, it's certainly due one: http://buyersguide.macrumors.com/#Mac
If the 16GB phone would just treat the local storage like a cache for everything it would be plenty of storage. With rare exceptions the expiry rules for my usage would be quite simple. That app I use once every two months can be re-downloaded when I want to use it (it's probably less than 20 MB in size anyway).
I am striving to back up my disagreement with cogent points. The excuses that are used to justify the anti-human way that we allow HR-type thinking to structure our working lives are something I am passionate about criticizing.

There are a lot of time-honored HR-type tactics used to try to justify and proliferate these anti-human patterns, and I do wholeheartedly acknowledge that my belief is that attempts to defend them are fundamentally invalid.

In the sense of principled sociological understanding of bureaucracy, such as in the book Moral Mazes, it's probably the aspect of technology culture that I am most interested in.

You are surely correct in at least some cases where my comments are expressed poorly or come with too little supporting information, but I strive for that to be the minority.
Except IME it's not very good because (with a 6S) you have to hold the phone very low to reach the home button comfortably enough for a double tap (which is lower than extending a bit for a firm press), which makes the phone top-heavy and much less hand-safe. I've dropped my 6S a lot, I've probably dropped it more in the few months I've had it than I dropped my 4S (at all)

I expect a Plus has an even worse hold and I wouldn't be able to use it 1-handed at all.
It's a nice contribution to have non-proprietary tax software, even when its functionality is so basic.

Is Javascript in PDF sophisticated and general enough that something like this could be ported to run inside the form itself? Like having the form itself have a way to ask you the questions and then complete itself with the answers?
It wasn't much different before Free mobile kick in the hive.
Says who? 3D touch is an awesome addition. Granted it has discoverability problems but I think that adding a new dimension to the interaction is great. It is a nice way to avoid a cluttered interface while providing advanced power-user functionality.
Well in the original Model S reservations they moved up folks who had bought the high margin ones to the front of the line so that they could show a profitable quarter early on. If you looked at their build orders for that first quarter or so it was waaaay slanted towards the more exotic versions. I would expect them to do the same for the Model 3. While it frontloads the profit, that can bootstrap the rest of the system.
I didn't read the "-seo-" part of the url. my eyes just glossed over and saw fun at the end.
I think the use case is older people (my parents..) that mainly use it as a phone and not much else. It wasteful though as it really kills future functionality and makes the phone get tossed earlier. (although they can be recycled I'm betting a lot aren't). Especially interesting given the keynotes emphasis on recycling/renewable resources.

on the plus side, they kept the headphone jack (no new headphones required).
Weird they didn't call this the iPhone 6S Mini, but I'll be getting one. Downgraded from an iPhone 6S to a 5S because the big screen is hard to use with one hand, so I'm ecstatic they released this.
I wish the Python community would adopt a Bundler/Gemfile style. The project.clj concept is also a fantastic approach. Environments should just be maps of data that you can modify or compose on the fly.
I wonder if this will get updated in September with the other phones or stay out of step with the main release cycle.
I agree. There was little sign of the old Apple Arrogance that paved new product lines and pushed tech forward. Instead, the presentation explicitly mentioned several times that they only released these products because "customers asked for them."

As Steve Jobs famously said, "customers don't know what they want." This change of motivation in their product development is a significant one.
Agreed. My 5S broke over winter, 4.7" was too big as a replacement. I tested a 6 in my jeans pocket and it felt odd to me. I immediately purchased another 5S instead.

Looking forward to a SE.

I want to second the fact that a microservice architecture is great because of the ease of deployments (but only after the initial overhead!). I can attest first-hand to the large overhead that comes with creating something from scratch with micro-services - we are still battling with Mesos/Marathon, and recently found Mantl (https://mantl.io/) which has been a huge help.
I could be wrong but I believe Apple is still selling the 5S's (can't check now as the apple store is down). Could also likely buy through carrier and purchase applecare through them as well.

Double tapping the home button makes the top of the screen reachable

That being said, I too still use iPhone 5S & I don't think I'll make the switch, 4K video & 2nd generation Touch ID are nice but I WANT 3D Touch. I understand why they're not there yet --- they had to shove some of the battery on the 6S to fit in the 3D hardware.

EDIT: seems they stuck with the first generation Touch ID? (6S and SE) [1]

The market is probably ignoring the announcement. Anything less than a 1.5% change is pretty much noise and random jitter (APPL is currently down .5%).
Yes I understand 7 is going to be bigger than the 5S/SE size. I'm willing to go bigger if there something really compelling about the 7, so I want to wait.

> how pervasive is 3d touch?

Not very. It's mostly a few shortcuts, the only genuine feature is that you can force-touch the keyboard to get a sort of trackpad surface (for more precise cursor movement in text)
Jorts we are adding more positions each week. What roles would you like to see?
I'm a big supporter of wearing the ear plugs. They're better at blocking noise, and turning the volume up on headphones to drown out background noise will leave you deaf.

But, you do look like both a tool and a jerk if you're wearing earplugs in an office.

I started putting headphones on over earplugs. All the benefits of earplugs, none of the drawbacks.
Thanks for that series. I think about digging into machine learning in my masters thesis, but I am uncertain about the problem space. Maybe will this article help me to better understand good applications for ML.
It's hardly unique. Here in Finland, the prices are comparable, though data caps are rare. 20€/mo gets you LTE with some bundled calls and SMS. Rest of the Nordics should be fairly similar. Currently I pay 18€/mo for my 50Mbps uncapped LTE, I use it as my home connection.
I have also had great success with wkhtmltopdf. There are pre-built binaries available too: http://wkhtmltopdf.org/downloads.html
Curious that the Sensors list does not include a barometer. It used to be the case that the A9 with coprocessor carried a barometer inside it. Has this changed for this phone? That would be incredibly sad if they removed sensors. Did the M9 iteration of the coprocessor remove the barometer?

Edit: Interestingly, the new iPad Pro does have a barometer in the Sensor list: http://www.apple.com/ipad-pro/specs/

This is a great post!
They almost lost me with the location selection... The world is a big place to only show 5 or 6 cities.
then they lost me with that sequence of anonymous > please register. How's this even anonymous? either they are not linking the previous step to this one so there's no point in registering or they are lying about the anonymous part.
It's been fixed for a few months in the Handbook repo (https://github.com/Microsoft/TypeScript-Handbook/pull/119/fi...), but the new updated Handbook hasn't been pushed to the website yet.
I think one of two things is true:

- There's no big redesign planned this year, and the Macbook and Macbook Pro will see press-release releases with updated guts (most notably Skylake) before too long.

- There is a significant redesign of the Macbook Pro coming up, and it'll be announced at WWDC.
Some people are vegetarians. Others are Muslim or Jewish and only eat halal/kosher foods.

Many groups are discriminated against (historically or presently), and members of those groups may not be too keen to open themselves up to unfair stereotyping. I've dated a girl who would never tell a prospective employer she was Jewish; she just wouldn't eat a pork dish and would probably seem evasive to you.

That doesn't even account for those who may just be squeamish or petrified of insects. Still others have embarrassing dietary restrictions.

It's hard to fathom when you have mainstream traits and limitations (it certainly was for me), but many people who consider themselves others are reluctant to give away information that could later be used to hurt them. Sadly, this reluctance is often justified.
Yeah, dammit! I would basically have bought an MBPR 15" right away if they'd released one....
Sorry for not using the exact name of the article. I am well aware of that guideline, but the title itself was too long. I did my best to shorten it without losing its essence.
IMO the real issue on tax evasion is not that people don't like to pay taxes. People don't like is to be obligated to give money that will be spent in ways that they don't agree.
Although 3D touch is not widely supported (even by Apple's apps) the "trackpad" on the keyboard alone is worth it.
Riding a bicycle to work arguably does a lot more to save the planet than flying on a more fuel efficient airplane, if for no other reason than the indirect benefits of taking a car off the road.

Sometimes minor updates are done without announcing them. Check the store when it comes back up.
Roomier classes in planes (as well as private air terminals for private planes) are all things that pretty much exist today; you just need to be willing and able to pay a huge premium for them. (Both because the costs are higher and they're priced for a less-sensitive clientele.)
> Anyway, (1) is code for “Mike’s a .NET dev, and we don’t like people with Windows experience”.

To be fair, this is legitimate although poorly phrased. A more correct version might read: "We're interested in folks who have more experience with GNU/Linux and open technologies."
I use it mostly for app switching (force-press on the left screen edge) and cursor movement (force-press on keyboards).
So I work at a company of three with a known massively under my value salary (recent grad, project I want to work on, responsibility I can get nowhere else).

I'm obviously always looking at what I could get if we went under or I wanted to leave for an unforseen reason; I find it very hard to work out what I'm equivalent to.

By asking for a salary and an email to see what different titles go for it makes it impossible for me to work out where I stand.

- and I'm also curious about what we need to offer our next hire (ie what should be expect to get for our money)
I was hoping they'd at least announce some new security improvements (I mean besides patches). But perhaps it's too soon for that, and we may see them in iOS 10 (X?).

I'd like to see client-side encrypted iCloud sync and either adopt Signal's encryption protocol for iMessage or at least disable iMessage sync by default and give the user control over iMessage sync alone (as opposed to being an all-or-nothing solution as it is now).
No 3D touch shows you how important Apple views it. It adds a level of inconsistency amongst their phones meaning developers can never depend on it which means it'll likely get used less and less.

Oh well it was a neat idea but adding multiple dimensions to a 2D screen always seemed kinda awkward to me.
Apple launches CareKit to create health apps
Not sure what process generated that tone, but it really was a bell-like BINNNNGGGG and not a flat PC buzzer-like BEEP. At least, that's the sound I remember from the 512K and the Plus - I never had an SE myself, so I am assuming it used the same sound as the original models.
See it go? I'd wait for the iPhone 7 event to see if 3D Touch is left to the history books.

Here's hoping that they'll include something like this in the Google Nexus lineup. They keep growing the phones, but my pocket is the same size.
I agree that this is "better" than the alternative, but it can be absolutely exhausting for candidates actively searching for a job. I feel like it's recently become much, much more common (from my small-ish sample of me and some friends).

My issue with this approach is fourfold:

1. Most companies have no idea how to structure a problem that is both informative to them and also not abusive to the candidates time.

2. Companies generally do this right after the recruiter phone screen, which most likely doesn't give the candidate enough information to decide if the next steps are worth their time.

3. Most companies still do a whole suite of normal tech screens after you work on a take home problem.

4. If you're actively looking, getting a bunch of these over a short period of time is likely. I know during my full time search, more than 50% of companies had a take home test right after the recruiter screen. Most of these were 4-8 hours of work each, due within the week.

A lot of startups structure it more like hazing or a barrier to entry than an evaluation criteria. I have some fun (read: horrifying) anecdotes from my recent search that illustrate the problems above, but I don't think any of my points are surprising.

A nice alternative would have been to simply have one or two projects completed that are straightforward to evaluate and walk companies through them, letting them ask me questions.
Can someone refresh me on the reasons that people don't just run their own mail servers?

Reasons that come to mind:

- Fear of improperly configuring your mail server, contributing to spam/relaying spam.

- Fear of ending up in people's spam boxes?

postfix + opendkim + smtp + tls + spamassassin + fail2ban is not too difficult a setup to achieve...
It's because Apple has realised 3D touch is bad

I think it's more about segmentation. For people who prefer smaller phones, there is still a reason to go for an iPhone 6s with a higher price point anyway. If the se was exactly the same except screen size, it might cannibalize the 6s.
iOS 9.3 is available for download today
yeah, we do that too.
"BeOS approach to multithreading was really just a dead end. Nobody does multithreading that way anymore."

I was about to start digging up more on its multithreading due to interesting things I read in architecture documents. Not to mention their multimedia demos. Read lots of positive stuff with interesting tricks like "benaphores."

So would you clarify why you think it was a bad design and why nobody will use it any more? And did their concurrency or other design efforts get anything right in your eyes?
I felt cheated[1], you saved my salary and now you asked for my email before showing me anything.

No, you can also activate by tapping and holding. You can test this by sending a live photo to an iPhone 6 or below.
It's telling that in your list you never once mentioned "Actually possesses the technical skills required to do a good job."
So, apple should add an sd card slot?
I would second Mailgun for inbound email. Granted, my use-case is very low-volume, but it works great and the email parsing seems to be pretty good.

I've previously used Mandrill for inbound, which has a lot of problems that I'd rather not enumerate. But that was at a much higher scale, so many of those problems I wouldn't have seen yet even if Mailgun has them.
The market hasn't ever been impressed after an Apple announcement.
I agree I also prefer a smaller screen here and want soemthing that fits well in the hand
Thats not much saner, it would only be saner in Java. There are no “primitives” in JS.
I recommend reading the whole series of posts; I am only part way through, but it has been very enlightening.[0]

Getting out of this trap is what motivated my first two job changes. I think there are a few things that are useful in staying on the narrow, difficult road to true expertise[1]:

- Engagement with the wider technology community. You need to know where the global maxima are

- An insistence on objective measurement and argument, rather than subjective assessment

- A low tolerance for cognitive dissonance or sacrifices in quality to meet a deadline

- A willingness to follow through and see the fruits of one's labor

- As a corollary to the previous point, an insistence on shortening the feedback cycle as much as possible

- Actively working to make it safe for others to criticize you and a willingness to say "I don't know" (in case you didn't know, criticizing others is genuinely very frightening for most people)

- Greater graciousness towards subordinates, less towards superiors (the reverse of typical corporate culture)

I think people are angry because they consider the impersonation to be dishonest, whereas Dave and Angel list seem to think the grievance is not about being spammy but rather about not being open about the spammy practice.

I think his point was that this is a non-apology in his eyes because it doesn't say "were going to stop this practice, but rather just make it clearer to users what they will do.

In other words, the apology is for the grievance of stabbing you in the back, so now were going to stab you to your face.

Note, I don't share this concern but I certainly get where he is coming from... The semantic argument he made was just a manifestation of the frustration of what he considers a non-apology.
As with anything Apple, it's like that by design.

As sigmaml said, Tika uses PDFBox. I would still recommend using PDFBox for text extraction until Tika updates to PDFBox 2.0. The biggest difference I have found with PDFBox 2.0 versus 1.x is that there are significantly fewer blank lines in the 2.0 output. This helps with readability and further processing on the output such as detecting headings, paragraphs, etc.
I didn't bail at the gigantic fields (although I should have). I bailed at the login part. Makers of this product, great idea, just be straight forward about it. Also, maybe do password like fields for entering amount you make.
It doesn't matter.

In order for OTP to work, you first have to invent secure communication. It puts the horse before the carriage.

Oh, and now you have to maintain perfect secrecy/privacy of a 4gb file.

Solved one problem (theoretically), and now you have a multitude of practical issues.

So again, OTP is impractical.
I don't see how this is an improvement over Glassdoor's salary search. I'm already a user on Glassdoor and they parse much more positions/salaries/cities- what's the advantage for me?

Also, NO you cannot have my email or my LinkedIn login! Hell to the no I do not want to type in my salary into a site and have it tied to something that could ID me to an employer down the line if your site gets hacked.
> The traditional way maybe longer : minimal investment and constant self sustainability, but it seems also better at helping founder adapt to changes in costing and technologies.

True and that's the approach I'd take but there is a benefit to the other way if you have a product that is a first or is the first to do something well, first mover advantage to grow big fast required a lot of capital (the costs to do that have dropped hugely but are still not trivial).

Some businesses grow best organically and some require a shot in the arm.
And what about people who are only paid under the table, and the people who employ them? I'm thinking of day laborers. Regardless of anyone's legal circumstance they need to eat; under the table work serves as a safety net, regardless of the tax issues.
It works reasonably well on the Apple Watch, where screen real estate for touching "objects" is minimal. Force-touching on the notifications view, for example, is the only way to clear all notifications.

That said, I've never used it on the iPhone -- if anything, Force Touch only gave us some shortcuts to actions that long-time users have already acquired "muscle memory" to perform differently (and without significantly more steps).
I regularly cite it as an alternative to mainstream desktops and example of a microkernel system that performed well. Here's a post with it and a bunch of other systems with excellent properties worth copying:
