Haha, exactly my thoughts :)
It's all relative. As the paper shows, 164cm is average male height in some countries. The average person is only a plane ride away from being either a short or tall person. Unless they are Dutch.

Women certainly don't want to date men who are shorter than they are. So it is a definite inconvenience to be shorter than the average woman in your own country.
Note that Ember is not actually strongly tied to Ember Data - the model() function on a route can return any Ember promise, and you can save data however you want. If the rest of Ember is roughly what you want, implementing a custom method of getting Ember objects from API responses and vice versa is probably easier than trying to wrangle Ember Data into doing what you need.

Firefox's problem is that it does the whole UI by itself. This basically makes it look out of place anywhere they haven't explicitly put effort into giving it a similar experience.

It looks out of place on El Capitan and on macOS Sierra it's downright disturbing. I don't want tab titles in Times New Roman (at least it reminds me of that).

That's rather interesting. A little bit of anecdote: I'm Irish and come in at about 170cm. When I was younger and in college (around 2000), I was definitely just (and we're talking 1/2cm here) ever so slightly slightly above the norm, but now I'm definitely below it by most of a head. My generation was the last one that grew up in a relatively 'poor' Ireland, and I'm significantly taller than my father was. It'd be interesting to see that study with data from 2016.

Edit: added some extra text to help quantify the difference I see.

By the same logic you can dismiss every critique.

Not everything new is an improvement.
I totally agree with the author, in fact much of the hidden functionalities in apps that use to exist is also gone. For instance in earlier versions of previes you could join multiple pdfs into one single pdf by dragging the pdfs into thumbnail preview panel. Now that functionality simply doesn't exist, it seems like they (Apple) have done a rewrite of so many Apps, that they missed out on smaller details.

Tune LSM merging algorithm parameter.

If LSM merges levels at the 1:10 ration and more, then the result will be less levels and faster reads. The merges will happen quite often relatively to reads. If it merges levels at the ratio of 1:1.0001, then there will be more levels and less merges - less delays in write-heavy application.

You are living in a shitty neighborhood full of shitty smell and noise, and those products are so cheap and cost nothing to deliver and anyway there are already 2999 drones flying around my head, why not relieve yourself a bit and buy the 3000th underpants, which anyway you need because you have already used the ones you have for three weeks?

Not if your doctrine is counter-force, which was our doctrine until the utterly evil Robert Strange McNamera (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_McNamara see also what he did with Vietnam and then destroying 3rd World agriculture while heading the World Bank (the Edsel, on the other hand, may be something he did the right thing in canning)) changed it to counter-value (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Countervalue).

I use this book-marklet to fix pages that decide to use a small font weight, that results in this hard to read text:

Fixes those broken pages to be quite readable.
You think that 10 and 20 year olds growing up with computers and even smartphones available for all of their life, know less of computers than people in the past?

Most of them don't know a thing about computers. It's a magic box with a small selection of shiny buttons on. They use it for passive media consumption.

Even a 7 year old that plays games can almost run circles around a 1980s propellerhead computer programmer in using a GUI.

Well, they clearly forget by the time they're twenty.

> (aside: why do people tend to give their heights in imperial units? Does anyone get that?)

I'm from the US, so I do naturally think in the ridiculous old units, but I think it might be because measurements in cm are too big to be easily grasped, whereas measurements in meters are too small. Which is more readily apparent?

A.) 188 cm

B.) 1.88 m

C.) 74"

D.) 6'2"

Additionally, the old imperial units of measurement are more or less explicitly human-scale.

> the photo app dropping the icon that looks like a camera

But the old iPhoto icon was not only showing a camera, it was showing a camera and a photo. The camera is part of the icon because iPhoto/Photos can also be used to import photos from cameras that look exactly like the one in the icon. The old icon really couldn't be more fitting for what the app does.

And even if users don't know what a camera is, they can still recognise the other 50% of the icon.

Plus, Apple itself still uses the same type of camera in other icons, most notably on the current iOS lock screen, so I don't think anyone is confused by the iconography. Most people never compose a song and yet they know that iTunes' icon is a musical note.

If the machine is stolen and someone changes your software (browser, CA, whatever), that only hurts you if the machine is later returned to you and you don't wipe it.

>Africa is a prime destination for second hand cars coming in from developed countries. I'm skeptical there is much growth opportunity there for car manufacturers.

That's mostly because New Cars were unafforable to All.
At least in the places I've visited there are more and more new cars.

- because people are richer than a few years ago

- because financing options that didn't exist now do

- because laws banning imports of cars "older than x years" also help (even if they have unintended consequences)
The network is the legal system which controls them.
Why not?

Sincere question.

A firm's revenues are the monies paid it. A nation's GDP is measured largely as money flows, though Adam Smith (and Simon Kuznets, largely) defined it more specifically as "the annual labour and produce of the nation".

So yes, it's not clear to me that a company which is buying at $n and selling at $n+m should be rated on its revenues. But you'll see that number turning up in GDP as I understand it. See:

"Output can be measured in three (theoretically equivalent) ways: by adding up all the money spent each year, by adding up all the money earned each year, or by adding up all the value added each year. Some economies, including Britain, combine all three methods into a single GDP figure, whereas others, like America, produce different statistics for each. (American GDP is estimated via the spending approach; GDI, or gross domestic income, by the income approach.)"

http://www.economist.com/blogs/economist-explains/2014/03/ec...

(There's a case to be made on that basis that GDP is mismeasured, but it seems it's awfully close to corporate income as defined.)

Wow this guy really misses the skeumorphic interface and really doesn't like minimalist design. Sheesh.

Personally I think OS X has been improving as its gone minimal. I don't like skeumorphic apps. They seem at first glance like they are easier to use, but the analogy actually many times makes they interfaces more misleading for novice users when they can't do everything that they expect they should be able to.

The Finder side bar is a perfect example, for me, on how minimizing an interface can make it more clear. The old Finder side bar looks cluttered and noisy and it can be hard to easily understand everything that's going on there. The more minimal one is easier to read. Could it be improved at this point by bringing some color back? Probably. But sometimes you have to go "too far" minimal to then find where you can bring things back in a way that really improves things.

The OS X interface was in dire need of a reset like this. If you ask me the main problem with the OS X move towards minimalism is that it's been too slow and didn't go far enough in some areas. I would have preferred that OS X went all the way right off the bat and then we could have already been on the path to bringing some more color and shading back in that will probably happen over the next several years.

At least, though, I agree with the author that the Game Center icon is awful.
After the Arduino had come out, and amateur projects were coming out from that, I visited a small hobby electronics store, looking to gather some information, buy some starter gear, and get into the hobby.

I chatted with the sales clerk, who was on the younger side, that I should go back to school for electrical engineering, because that's the only way I'd learn the hobby. I bought an Arduino afterwards, but never used it. That encounter effectively killed it for me.

> I'm arguing that Facebook made it explicitly clear, both via a cease & desist letter as well as technical changes, that it did not want Power accessing its servers or its data, whether on their own or on behalf of Power users.

Then it should stop authorizing Power to do so. Why would it let the credentials work for Power unless those credentials authorized Power access? That's the problem. The simple solution is 2-factor authentication.

This is a solved problem. If you have "open access" of your web services and and access is non-disruptive, I don't know why this should be a criminal violation. It shouldn't be criminal just because it doesn't fit with your business model.
We had a discussion if we should skip Ember Data or not but concluced that it seemed easier to write custom serializers and adapters for most models instead. Maybe it was an incorrect assessment but after a pretty steep learning curve I can at least say I know a lot about how ember works :)

Also, if you do not use Ember Data, you don't get to use the data part of the nice Ember plugin for web browsers.
Yes, they do.

Almost all the newspapers in Germany have WhatsApp newsletters, and you can get TV news as video message every hour via whatsapp, and so on.
Yes (neither does Opera or Mosaic have anything to do with Web browsing), however:

- Chrome is a brand, and people have been educated to expect that from it (same with Ps and Ai - "everybody" knows what's that)

- Photos is an utility, it does not exist outside of Mac OS X. Like the fuel icon in a car gauge, it is supposed to be discoverable
whats type A?
Every single article on HN with a little of criticism of Apple gets the same kind of responses and becomes basically a giant appeal to novelty fallacy. You're against progress, it's new so it's better, Apple knows best, etc.
As an aside: The "What you know and what you have" paradigm is failing, imo. We often say passwords should be autogenerated, unguessable and unlearnable, stored in password safes like Keepassx. This removes "what you know" and you end up with "two things you have" (An OTP seed and a password in a safe).

When both the password and the TOTP seed are on the same machine - assuming you autogenerated your password - they are both autogenerated and out of your sight so they really are just two things you have, and you have them in the same place. The difference is, it's impossible to capture the TOTP seed from the TOTP token being input - passwords are vulnerable to that.

Am I crazy or does that make the password completely redundant?

It's less of a salaried work issue, it's more one of people not knowing or not caring about their rights. I can't talk about the US landscape but in germany unlimited unpaid overtime is not legal, still you see that often in work contracts, especially in contracts in startups and web/multimedia agencies. Its especially common where unions and other organizations that could enforce legal limits are weak. I've for example never seen such a clause (and unpaid overtime) in organizations where a strong worker rights position existed.
On the fatigue issue: try pair programming. The day goes by a lot faster and with less fatigue for me. I was skeptical of the idea for many years, but once I really tried it I realized it was much better.

On the time issue: employers in the US could hire part time developers. But I think good devs are so hard to hire in the first place that if you find one you want to have them work a full 40 hours per week to maximize their productivity (in theory.)

It is unrealistic to expect 40 hours of dev time out of a developer who is working 40 hours a week, there's a lot of book keeping, meetings, emails, etc. to deal with. But if you cut the dev's time by 25% you're not reducing the amount of that non-dev stuff that needs to be done, so you're not making the time more efficient. Other than, as you said, perhaps reducing burn out. But that's what vacations are for.
I'm intrigued. The problem: you want to secure your access codes. The solution you appear to be proposing: permanent backup of your security codes somewhere.

But... how do you authenticate to this backup of your codes? It can't be through the same method that these codes unlock for you. Right?
If it's enough of a problem to cause systemic decline of the city the property prices will have to drop. I just can't see how they would keep on buying and buying till nobody lives there anymore. Granted it is possible, but if they are in fact that crazy then you can still argue it's better to pocket the money and go build another city?

Somebody else mentioned supply is being added at a decent rate. So perhaps there just isn't really a problem?
There's still a cap on 48 hour a week however:

I'd take what online-tech-forum-dwellers say about women with a grain of salt :) After all, we're humans, we have more than an evolutionary eugenetic instict for choosing our partners, like characteristics and social status, and apart from them, different women prefer different physical traits. For health, well, there is a certain clustering of centenarians in some parts of the world, especially in Japan and Sardinia, places not known for tall people.

Strongly disagree. "e.g." has its place; it is often clearer than any alternative. Likewise "i.e.". "eg" is unpleasantly confusing even as an ordinary reader and should never have been allowed, but to remove "e.g." too is to throw the baby out with the bathwater.
