I'm pretty sure the lightning standard doesn't support an analogue signal at all, hence the role of the adapter as a DAC. Around 23mins in the linked video you see the part he's using inside the phone, and it seems more complex than simply matching pins.

In terms of your car stereo, I'd say that'd be an internal DAC, and the quality difference was simply down to a physical connection compared to Bluetooth(probably a previous standard too, the jump from Bluetooth 4.0 to Bluetooth 5.0/W1(as in AirPods) is pretty similar in magnitude to the jump from USB 2 to USB 3/Lighting(Lightning was again Apple adding support for modern features before the standard was finalised)). In the same way that nobody would've seriously dropped a dedicated display port before USB 3, the new Bluetooth standards are opening up audio to replace physical connections.

As I understand it, Apple ultimately ended up dropping the headphone jack due to interference(the DAC was being interfered with) from some internal components in the new design, as well as making waterproofing easier. I'm fairly certain there's no DAC already at this point.

> A good contract, in my opinion, would stipulate that the landlord loses the rent on a pro rated basis till they fix the place up. I sympathize with their mortgage obligations, but I'm sure that's an added incentive to get the place in shape quickly.

Perfectly reasonable in my opinion. In fact my rental agreement has a similar clause which gives tenant 30 days to vacate and find another place OR I can provide 30 days of another accommodation for "Free" and then fix the place in those 30 days.

Both landlords and tenants are perfectly normal human beings with compassion and all that. They are not evil people. I was only triggered by "arrest these people" comments which in my opinion do not belong on a civilized forum like HN.
It always amuses me how stunningly bad Amazon really is at making standalone pages on their web site. This one is totally unresponsive, has images for headings, and a slightly blurry image for the table. Here's Amazon Locker, which is even more dismal: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Click-and-Collect-with-Amazon-Locke...

I guess they must have to produce all this stuff within the constraints of their CMS, but it really does make me wonder why they can't build better standalone pages outside of it if the occasion arises.

I think that the differences are bigger for inexperienced developers (and experienced ones who don't try to understand the theory underlying their work).

A novice PHP developer will (or at least would have 5 years ago) create a messy script with interspersed HTML and PHP, a SQL injection vulnerability or two, and little code organization.

A novice Java developer will implement a bunch of patterns they don't understand (probably misusing them), and write a mess of code with too many side-effects.

An experienced developer can write good code in either language, and many of the patterns will end up looking similar.
Maybe I'm just missing something here, but I really can't figure out what Nylas (the api side) offers?

> The 3.5mm port is an analog output on the phone. The lightning port is a digital output. Needless to say, all the circuitry in the phone is digital. So accommodating analog technology isn’t ideal.

>By taking out the 3.5mm jack, Apple is removing the need for these two components. The lightning port and lightning input are both digital, so the phone does not need a DAC any more. The iPhone 7 can thus be more battery efficient, and have room for other components (like a bigger battery) in its slim case.

These arguments are deluded. The phone might not need a DAC anymore (hang on, I guess it does for the built in speakers), but the user does. It doesn't help with battery efficiency unless the DAC is powered separately, in which case you have two things to charge. Room for other components? Well if you want a bigger battery why don't you just have an extra one attached to a dongle to charge the phone up with? Why not remove the screen, another digital to analog device, to save space and battery, and just have an HDMI out? I know these are silly examples, but a phone brings convenience - it's convenient if a phone can last all day on one charge, and also convenient if it can interface with headphones.

Stepping back a bit, these articles seem to crop up periodically - I remember similar about the lack of GPS in the first model, the problems with the 4's antennae etc. Getting a bit philosophical here, but I wonder if the same people who refuse to accept valid criticisms of an Apple product also believe in 'good' and 'bad' people who can either do no bad or do no good.

Google translation of the original German page is fairly clear:

> With the saving of the jack socket, Apple deteriorates the output quality of the music on the iPhone. While the output sockets of the iPhone 6S and iPad Air itself perform well in comparison with professional audio interfaces, the output on the new Lightning adapter of the iPhone 7 and 7 Plus reaches only the note satisfactorily.

>The differences should be noticeable in comparison with similar connected headphones in the price class from 100 euros, especially with uncompressed music files with 24 bit. In the case of lossy compressed music pieces (MP3, AAC), however, most users hardly notice a difference. Bluetooth headphones and digital audio interfaces are not affected by the deterioration.

A 4.5dB loss is actually pretty big.

One thing is pure call performance (time to invoke a void() function). I don't know where that is, but I guess for WASM<->JS it's slower than WASM<->WASM and JS<->JS, since it can't be inlined.

The more important thing however is the cost of parameter passing. Let's keep in mind that WASM only support numeric types and typed arrays. So in order to make a function call from JS to WASM or the other way around which passes a string as a parameter the string needs to be converted into a format that the other side understands (Javascript string object <-> WASM typed array which contains string in UTFx format).
So basically for all more complex data types crossing the boundary costs the [de]serialization of the parameters, which may be huge (and even causes allocations).

If you also only work with integers and typed arrays on the JS side that does not apply. But I guess most people won't be comfortable with that.
Could they do much more of it without going over the

Relevant random factoid: the Baltic Sea is almost completely enclosed by land and consequently unusually brackish (low in salt), which means a number of sea creatures common in saltier seas, most notably the shipworm, can't live there. Add in the fact that the water is really cold most of the year, and you get a large number of unusually well-preserved wooden wrecks, most famously the Vasa, that would have long go have been eaten away in any other ocean.

https://www.vasamuseet.se/en

Speaking of eating, access to the salty Atlantic means that the Norwegians eat lots of shrimp, crab, mussels and even whale, none of which were historically available on the Baltic shores of Sweden or Finland.
> How about: making the phones waterproof with one less difficult to tackle port, less width/height needed for the new port hence thinner phones, envisioning a wireless future (what with AirPods and co).

If some guy (he's obviously talented, but still a guy) can fit one inside an already manufactured iPhone 7, the company designing the phone obviously would have no problem fitting it in the dimensions it holds.

> The "best hypothesis"? That's the classic "lock-in" conspiracy theory. And Apple makes pennies on the headphones compared to what they make from the iPhones (and what they could lose in iPhone sales if the removal of the port proved unpopular) for that to be any great motive.

> The fact that there are pushing AirPods (which don't care for the jack at all) and that Apple gives a free conversion to mini-jack with each new iPhone, means that the theory "it's all about selling headphones/licenses for lighting headphones" is moot.

Doesn't the fact that Apple being the company selling the AirPods (for a mighty hefty fee I might add) at least suggest the opposite of "moot", since they're making a lot of money on new headphones by removing the jack?

You state and agree with all the factors needed to draw the conclusions of the "conspiracy theory" (or what I'd call market sense), yet you arrive at the opposite one, why is that?

IBM licensing can be absurd.

Solaris died roughly 3 times, depending on who you ask. 2002 was 15 years ago. Oracle officially killed it by laying off over 90% of people assigned to the project two days ago. Future Solaris development is deader than shit.

The only true UNIX that sees "widespread" use, and the only one that you will ever find a student with any experience with it is FreeBSD, and FreeBSD is popular because of its licensing, not its "true UNIX nature."

As somebody else said, it wouldn't have busted the recruiter's ass to forward the email to the manager and ask if "Unix-like" experience is relevant.
It depends on how you work. If your developers are pretty siloed, then sure, you can only ever hire people who know what your whole team already knows.

> If everyone who actually cared about it bought e.g. the S8 from Samsung instead, I'm sure Apple would get the message - and bring it back. Since people are still buying it in droves it must not be a real clincher to most people.

That's not a reasonable assumption.

If they had manufactured an alternative iPhone 7 (that was thicker than the regular one, or whatever was their rationalizing for removing it) then we could say that anyone buying the alternative one was communicating their want/need of the jack.

There is significant platform lock-in between iOS and Android, and while you can always switch, there are a lot more factors than the headphone jack, making it - without a gradient - impossible to draw any such conclusions from the data points available.

C++ shows that in theory you can fix any flaw in an existing programming language as long as you maintain backwards compatibility by simply adding more features. The only thing you cannot change are implicit defaults (e.g. pass by value is the default, you have to manually opt out to pointers or references).

I like modern C++ because for me it's a reasonable compromise between java safety and C safety. Other than out of bounds memory accesses and legacy code I feel there is not much that can go wrong. However compiling C++ projects takes ages and in the projects I've worked on I often have to modify headers that are included almost everywhere. Every trivial changes requires a 5 minute rebuild.

After working with several high level programming languages with slow compilers I realised the following: typing is fast, compiling is slow. There is a reason why go is so popular. It offers that tradeoff in fast turn around time / compilation time with reasonably good performance and simplicity in exchange for more keyboard bashing and keyboard bashing is a cheap price to pay for what you're getting back.
