I upgraded to the iOS 10 beta almost immediately as it came out (only on the iPhone) and it felt very polished. There were a few performance issues, but I was able to live with them - this time around it was unusable.
Next global financial crisis to hit with a 'vengeance', warns BIS
I don't think that is coming. The fact that it took so many years to add some "desktop os" features to iOS shows, that they try to keep those branches separate from the UI model. From the underlying OS technologies, they are very close together. E.g. APFS, while introduced on iOS is coming to macOS with High Sierra.

So for the next years, I would expect iOS and macOS to share, what makes sense, but keep the UI separate, where it matters (touch/pen vs mouse/keyboard).
I think there is a fundamental difference between
selling labor and selling legal rights. You might
say that someone so financially desperate has de-facto
given some rights to their employer, but coercion is
always illegal (whether or not this kind of person is
likely to seek legal help is another story).

I question that difference. Selling labor is merely selling the legal rights to the product of your labor. Building a dependence into the system by allowing below living wages is something I just don't see ending well.

I'm not convinced I'm correct on this. But at face value, I don't see how it works.

Sounds like you dislike exploitative businesses more than
you care about the homeless. That isn't necessarily right
or wrong, but I think it explains your inclination on the
issue.

I view them as distinct things. And while I certainly encourage ways to get homeless people feeling productive, I don't think getting them below living wage jobs is doing them a favor. Reliable shelter where they are able to get food and necessities while possibly building skills is something I'm incredibly for. And I hate the NIMBY syndrome that is pervading a lot of the city.

Unfortunately, I don't think there is an easy answer. :(
The article seems to point out Apple's advantages, however, using a dedicated global shutter fisheye camera, in the case of tango makes it much more suitable for large scale AR apps, imo, which would make it much more suitable for games etc. Also, ASUS already released phones with tango hardware [1].

My argument has always been about access. Some kids are lucky enough to be brought up in a household with music all around; the internet makes it possible to any kid can surround themselves with brilliant music and musical knowledge. That's all. There still has to be a will to make music (or art, or tech, or whatever). It's just an enabler, a lever that wasn't accessible to most kids in the past, is all I'm saying.
But it's still an iPad.

Touch screens are just slower, less accurate, and more cumbersome than a cursor and a good hardware keyboard for the vast majority of professional applications and use cases.
Just tell them you are quitting and give two weeks notice. It is at will employment on both sides, this is perfectly normal.
Your approach resonates with me. I will recommend Practical Deep Learning For Coders[1]. This course is taught by Jeremy Howard who won kaggle competition for 2 consecutive years. His motto is to "Make Deep Learning Uncool again"

I personally found it very hands on, it jumps into practical application right of the bat which helps keeping the motivation steady. Having said that, its not easy or dumbed down in any sense.

The goal of the plaintiff's lawyer is to make dozens and dozens of claims, so that hopefully one of them sticks while the others are thrown out. This is the common practice.
I'm not aware of something like that. :-(
Sega isn't just one person. I started out praising them and then remembered they have a marketing team.
It's funny, I only ran Mac OS 9 for a few months while I waited for OS X, so I couldn't even remember if Class Mac OS utilized them!

I also tried to search for how much NextStep used right-click contextual menus, but that's also something that's pretty difficult to find.
I deleted another comment, but this is a far simpler analogy. As a nightclub owner it is prudent to hire a bouncer. Why? Not because the bouncers are making trouble outside your establishment (as a racket would do) but rather as a form of insurance against future miscreants.

Hiring a company like HackerOne (we've hired a competitor) is simply a very wise idea - that is all their email is pointing out. You are currently running a nightclub with no bouncer, you are currently vulnerable (all software is). Get some help by contracting or hiring.
> While your point is valid, it's a sad state of affairs when engineers and their managers can't even be trusted to make good decisions for themselves, and have to outsource their judgement to Google under the guise of having your hands tied. The irony, it would seem, is that you're actually tying your own hands in other ways.

Well, when you've got your project managers, marketing people, coders etc. all trying to optimise for different things, each group doesn't understand each other and team member expertise differs I don't think it's that weird that issues like blocking JavaScript, encoding image sizes in HTML etc. aren't top priority.

For website speed, anything that makes it easier to know what the right thing to do is without debate is going to help. Even within a team of experienced web developers it isn't obvious what the best approach is because there's so many options.
If that meant total lock-down of MacOS, I'd be gone. I've been kind of waiting for this and maintaining an "escape plan."
One author? Honestly?

Besides that, I'm not sure, where to even start, so let's start here:

"I do not have an immediate doomsday prophecy, but
eventually, history suggests, there will be some
doomsday event".

For the sake of my children: Overly pessimistic and unscientific.

iOS code linting via custom clang extensions
man bash. read, digest, apply, repeat. you can also look at existing scripts, figure out what they do, why, make copy, alter, see the changes in behavior. there are also books on bash.

larger point: how do you learn more about X? or get better at doing X? figure that general pattern out and you can re-apply it for anything, not just bash.
"Sometimes the excuse is that cpu and memory are cheap as if resources aren't under constant pressure from the hundreds of processes that all pretend they are the only one on the machine."

I find that this often extends beyond performance too. Many websites/apps waste lots of screen space because they were clearly designed for, and tested at, 1080p.
The fact that the majority of infrastructure in tech is oblivious to something as obvious and beneficial as content-addressable storage is one of the most depressing things about the industry to me.
meh. not much, handing back features they could have delivered in 2010. A great bit of positive fluff imho
Should I tell them that I am quitting to start a business or leave it as a personal decision?

Yea, there are very good reasons why we don't do this now.

But, in terms of current technology it's viable even if economically/politically it's not.
Nice to have it in a paper but nothing much new from the talk that it came from.

Not to diminish it at all, I could read about Musk and SpaceX all day. I find it a great hangover cure / distraction from the Clown Shoes shitshow of American politics. Such hope in the future at times like this is awesome.

I would love to hear more technical information about some challenges like what is needed for second stage recovery to work? How far along are we in building tech to be able to create the fuel on Mars? and on a lighter note - which other species should come with us first? I vote dogs, I mean let's be honest, they already got to space before us and they would be an awesome morale builder for a one/two year journey...Cats however....
I've made java services respond with 500us on average for in-memory queries. Yeah, average, including GC stops. This is where things grow really fun, because every lock, every array access, every method call becomes a problem.

It's an interesting world. Closed and not entirely relevant to most developers.
The current app-switching tech in iOS 10 is mostly unusable for multitasking because they animate it into some kind of bullshit coverflow control that looks pretty but is slow and has every app you've ever started on the ipad to page through. Is it any snappier/easier to use now? Can you do the whole 'I'll just switch over to the other app to copy something and switch back' in a second or two yet? Even the weird 'you can use this app on the side' multitasking tech they've had for a while has been slow as hell and doesn't solve the copy/paste problem.
I agree with the value you're talking about, but they don't help evaluate how hard a game is.

This is missing the point. Fresh herbs in particular are delicate and easily damaged, and degrade quickly.

It's like going to a seafood restaurant that has live lobsters, vs a seafood restaurant that uses already dead lobsters. Sure both are lobsters, but one is better than the other.
Long-distance transmission is done with DC, and converted near consumers to 50/60 Hz AC at the appropriate voltage.
Yes, it's different. A book (assuming it's a real book and not something slapdash) is a major piece of work. Obviously some of the finer distinctions (e.g. what counts as a book chapter vs. an article) can get pretty arbitrary. But the broader lines aren't. The intent of Show HN is for people to share what they're working on. If we applied the strictest definition, the only thing anyone could easily 'try out' would be web apps, and that's much too narrow.
Well, no barriers to entry basically means it's a commodity market and that consolidation/scale is the key to competitive advantage.
Even the smartest and most technically capable people I know are confused by 3D Touch, almost all of whom eventually turned it off. What is it for? Why is it better than an alternative or a long press? How does it make anything better or more intuitive? How is it predictable in any way?

iOS has been consistently confusing and less intuitive ever since iOS 7, and iOS 10 and iOS 11 are only more so particularly the lock screens which are outright bizarre. They feel very much like they were built for designers, not for end users.

Come to think of it, a lot of what Apple does today feels like it was built for their own designers and not for users. Removing critical ports, 3D Touch, endless dongles, confusing UI and UX, the Touch Bar, awful low travel keyboards, etc etc

Apple used to pride itself in everything being obvious and everything just working as you would expect it to. Perhaps the biggest change in Apple post-Jobs is how that is missing.
&& having higher precedence than || makes sense because && is boolean multiplication and || is boolean addition.
I think I'm going to sell my existing 9.7" to get the new 10.5" to get a bit more space to work with on this new version of iOS.

I can't wait until I can really use iOS the way I use my mac. Which at this point really is based on either mobileOrg getting better or some app coming out where I can easily manage a rich personal knowledge base/wiki on the iPad.
Kind of like how selling socks shouldn't require a 60MB video autoloading. Yet http://www.sockfancy.com has a huge video that automatically loads and plays on desktops.
One of the challenges here is that "sector" is strongly predictive, but the data analyzed are historical. It's easy to know which sector one should have invested in historically -- and hard to know which sector to invest in going forward.
It has a variety of drivers, such as for X, framebuffer, svgalib, OS/2 PMShell and AtheOS. It also bundles antialiased fonts.
This matches my experiences with the past 6 or so iOS beta releases.

Contrarily the Xcode 9 beta is the most stable and useful Xcode beta I've ever seen.
Ah, youngsters.

It used to be the case that Cmd-E ejected, but you rarely wanted just to eject (i.e. just remove the disk from the Mac), usually you wanted to Put Away, and that was Cmd-Y.

I miss System 7.
Not without jailbreak tweaks. iOS has never natively supported a mouse cursor.
We have very little data about nk. For all we know the country is filled with violence. Anyway my message did not mean that people will révolt. I simply meant that there is à spread of anger un the west. Anger is à very powerful feeling that can cause people to unleash lot of energy. Smart dictator use this. They cause anger in their own people and then deflect it toward an outside ennemy.
The reason you feel sick is because you're body isn't used to the shift from carbohydrates for energy and ketones as energy (body fat). You get brain fog because only fat in the form of ketones can cross the blood brain barrier. So adaptation to ketones are vital. You need to work into it. No different from exercise, or climate adaptation.

Having cold showers shifts your body into using ketones more and more.

Regarding not eating breakfast, watch these videos from FoundMyFitness:

Dr. Satchin Panda on Time-Restricted Feeding and Its Effects on Obesity, Muscle Mass and Heart Health

Ruth Patterson, Ph.D. on Time-Restricted Eating in Humans & Breast Cancer Prevention

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8qlrB84xp5g

Time restricted eating, AKA your 16/8, is VERY important. Even if you don't immediately notice changes. Those changes could begin to occur 2 to 8 years later. Depending on adherence. Also based on Dr. Ruth Patterson's advice, skipping breakfast leads to eating late into the night, which is not good for your health generally.
A hundred and fifty tutorials is useless, TMI. What are the five best? ;-)

(This is an awesome resource, thank you for compiling it.)
My take is this. Win8 was actually an excellent tablet OS, but compromised, deliberately compromised in many cases, its desktop experience to get there.

In sharp contrast Win10 took the opposite approach-- it is markedly less pleasant to use exclusively with touch, but a great desktop with mouse+keyboard. They didn't /try/ to compromise touch, but they didn't put much effort into it either.
I've updated every one since iOS 5 and it's always been like this in the early releases before the iPhone event.

Though, as always, YMMV.
read the article. not much there. very fluffy. as usual apple made old work flows different. as usual, people will be confused at first. as usual, not much to write home about.

"Before IOS 11 we arbitrarily limited the apps in your dock to 6. Today we will allow up to 8!" <cheers from the crowd>.
They've been dripping out features, that they could have delivered in 2010 but for reasons like Courage chose to hold back.

The article doesn't support the headline. Unless that also means 'Your ipad will still be the same old iPad, but you will find it more awkward to use"
They are certainly experimenting with which features might make sense on the "other" OS. But until your post, I had almost forgotten that the launcher still exists on macOS. Likewise, Dashboard still exists, but does not get much attention any more. But even with the new iOS giving more "desktop" powers to the iPad, Apple still seems to aim for a UI model quite different to macOS. So this seems to be intended.
It's hard to say, as the apps have to support it, and not many of them do yet. But the Dock felt like a really intrusive gimmick - it looks like macOS, but doesn't work like it at all.

I agree that the current 'slide in from the right and find the app you want' method to be hard work. But the new one is trying to shoehorn the desktop experience into a tablet, and it fails miserably from what I've seen so far.
Why? I am pretty sure Apple basically keeps saying they see the two as separate.

With the iPad pro and the iOS 11 features, they aren't unifying so much as creating another usage category to appeal to more people.
Do you feel the same way about climate research?
The market figures this kind of stuff out. Reputable installers won't use the cheap cells and will warn their customers off the cheaper selling stuff that won't break in a few years. If the market couldn't things like double and triple pane windows wouldn't be able to out-compete single pane windows.

We have done it with other goods too. American car companies got away with selling substandard stuff for a long time but revenues kept shrinking as Americans bought more foreign brands. It a major market disruption and a bailout for the car companies to right themselves. Sometimes it takes a while, sometimes a touch of government regulation makes it happen faster but when a business do shady stuff they punish themselves in the long run if there are legitimate options competing with them in the market.
It is interviewers job to get rid of illogical assumptions like this. This particular assumption is odd, experienced people often moves to talk about theory - sometime literally because they expect interviewers to be interested in that.
I understand where you're coming from, but I was more focusing on the difference between a household name (e.g. MLK, Rosa Parks, Nelson Mandela) verses being the subject of a footnote or a chapter in books that are only read by graduate students. I meant heroism in terms of securing advances for the whole human race or an entire country, rather than being a hero to another individual or family...two meanings of the word "hero" that can't be compared.
Mine broke last week. I haven't replaced it and almost don't intend to because I do feel more alert now. Though the feeling is subsiding, so perhaps it's a temporary thing.

I wonder in the study, is the control group smartphone users temporarily deprived of the phones, or non-smartphone users. Could make a big difference.
3D touch on the keyboard to move the cursor around makes up for every grievance I ever had about it to begin with.
4 finger swipe left/right is the best option on iOS 10 imo - it's about as good as the 3d touch swipe on iPhone.
"50% of your advertising budget is wasted, the problem is no one can tell you which 50%."

Most of the McMansions around where I grew up in Northern Va. were fairly cookie cutter. Their lack of architectural unity seemed to be more of "We have X types of garages, Y types of base floorplans and Z types of entryways and so we'll just iterate on them for the whole neighborhood"

This combined with the rapidly rising real-estate costs meant the builders threw in some of the architectural versions of Hofmeister kinks[1] to make them look more luxurious which (IMO) only made them look worse.

For what it's worth: you can get a $100-200 10" Windows 10 laptop (well, 2-in-1 tablet) with an Atom. (Battery life as a laptop is closer to 3 than 10, at least for me.)

MS has already hit that price point/form factor, and is working on making it more efficient/performant.
I've put the image code on github: https://github.com/shirriff/alto-display-image

Coding style: I tried to match the style of the existing Alto files, which starts functions at the left margin and then indents by 3 (!) spaces from there. e.g. http://xeroxalto.computerhistory.org/Pixel/IFS/Sources/.IfsM...

Magic constants: I'm lazy so it's easier to leave them inline when I'm hacking on code. I don't know if there's runtime overhead.

BCPL procedure call overhead: kind of nasty. There's no stack support in the instruction set, just jump-and-link. So a called procedure first calls a subroutine "getframe" that sets up the stack frame (very similar to a C stack frame). Then a second subroutine "moveargs" moves the call arguments into the stack frame. At the end of the procedure call, a third subroutine call cleans up and does the return.
A few grocery stores here in Atlanta make sure you know when they locally source vegetables so I would assume this happens across the country as a whole. Throw in that all of the goods in the produce isle are labeled with country of origin.

so this technology in the article is in the realm of, sounds cool but not really workable. put too much thought into and it falls apart. plus how do we keep the man power needs of the store down as that is one area many are trying to affect
I like that too, but how many users know about that? 0.5%? Is it obvious and intuitive?
Are decisions going to become rolling? i.e. if a company applies now, rather than the night before applications are due, ostensibly they are at a disadvantage because they should have shown some kind of growth (even if in just understanding of the problem) over those 4 months.
IPv6 is the standard way to preserve end-to-end connectivity when IPv4 NAT breaks it.

You're free to see these as orthogonal problems, but if enough people think as you do (moving IPv4 to NAT without first deploying IPv6), then the Internet as we know it is dead.
Nostalgia's a funny thing though. Remember the 'bomb' dialog box with the reset button that didn't always work? Cooperative multitasking allowing apps to lock the computer?

...I miss it, too.
Yeah, I'd bet that's mostly fresh fruits and veggies. For reference: https://www.nrdc.org/sites/default/files/wasted-food-IP.pdf

How in the world can you refuse to have the plane's staff seat people in whatever empty seat they see fit? They are in the right to do so and you are in the wrong to act as if it's up to you to have any part in the decision. You are basically just taking advantage of the airline workers' aversion to having someone make a fuss.

Depends on the industry. None of my current managers have anything less than 10 years experience, even at the lowest level (I'm at a big old defense contractor). First promotion from associate developer to staff developer typically comes after two years, and it's not due to lack of talent. Likewise our team leads and SMEs are often pushing 10-20 years and are still non-managerial. The program would likely fall apart for a few months if all of them just left at once, so I wouldn't say they lack value. :)

A manager with a scant 3 years of experience undervaluing a "solo dev" (whatever that is, unless you're talking about 1-person companies) with 10 years experience sounds like a good setup for an episode of Silicon Valley.
The whole site appears to be missing. What happened?
Sometimes you cherry-pick data not to get the results you are looking for, but because it is easier to do so.

No matter the reason for the cherry-picking, it does add uncertainty to the results. In the malicious case, the uncertainty is easy to predict in the direction it will go. In the "ease of picking" case, it is not.

Which is to say, it does not throw out the results. This is a useful paper and more folks should look at it. Hopefully someone has the necessary energy/effort to get all of the data and we can clear up the uncertainty that it introduced.

Perhaps you could read this post as to why the author is picking on McMansions in particular, and their stance on elitism, and give your take.

Personally, I don't get the impression of the blog authors intent that you are receiving.
