It started with the question "Could you implement a Lisp using just GNU Make macros"? (Hint: Yes) Bit of trivia: Mal originally stood for MAke-Lisp. Conveniently the acronym didn't need to be changed for "Make-A-Lisp"

It then grew into a personal learning tool for me for learning new languages. As I implemented more languages, I refactored the structure to make it more portable and incremental. At some point I realized that it might be an interesting learning tool for others so I wrote an early version of the guide and had a friend work through it and give feedback. He liked it enough that he immediately did a second implementation.

At some point the project got some twitter/HN attention and other people began contributing implementations and feedback for the guide.

Mal also serves as programming language "Rosetta Stone". A bit like rosettacode.org but using a full working project.
I had a similar though about video playback shown. Given it's OLED it seems like leaving it black should work OK in landscape
Meh. This and any of the last few keynotes would have been magical if they'd shown something that actually did something new.

What they've shown is just fancy new technology to do the same old things - great, now I can lock my screen in a different way!
More and more people don't own computers any more. They just use their phone for everything.
What about Debian 9?
I tried an Apple Watch for a few weeks thinking that it would be less of a distraction than the phone in my pocket. Found that

(1) it's much more of a distraction because it's so much more accessible and is more likely to be buzzing regularly. There's a mental and physical barrier to pulling my phone out of my pocket that makes it easier to disconnect; there's almost no barrier with the Apple Watch, it takes much more mental effort to limit its disruptiveness.

(2) someone looking at their watch frequently (more than about every 15 minutes) is often interpreted socially as a sign that the conversation is boring or going too long or they are otherwise anxious about the time. I generally found that looking at the Apple Watch was more disruptive socially than pulling out my phone (partly due to #1)
It definitely feels like they're making evolutionary improvements to existing product lines that have worked well. Nothing they presented felt _revolutionary_ in any way, but the bar for progress in changing consumer's lives is pretty high these days...
I don't use Atom but I do use Visual Studio Code (which is also Electron based). I use it because there are no real IDEs for Elixir and navigation is amazing. It is also lightweight (compared to JetBrains' IDEs). Another big plus is that it runs on Linux.
Most iPhones I see around are in a case. I personally don't like that, but if you're going to type on a flat table, you'd better use a case to flatten the back of the iPhone, avoiding those rattlings.
When working with large projects, a full blown IDE can really make your life easier. I use PhpStorm for my main work and I'm just in it all day. However VSCode is what I use when I just need to quickly edit something as it's still smarter than a dumb editor.
> They're clearly banking on wireless chargers becoming mainstream and ubiquitous, leaving the lightning connector for headphones.

Well, true, but they're also banking on wireless headphones.
I live in Cincinnati. I don't think gentrification is responsible for the opioid epidemic. I would blame the increase in the supply of opioids and structural changes to the economy. Plenty of places without gentrification (rural Indiana) are being hit even harder.

I'd also disagree that moving back would exacerbate the problem. A higher tax base would help the city to better combat the problem. You could also donate to non-profits or volunteer.
Glasses are much more see-thru than sunglasses and therefore it may work with glasses but not sunglasses
What release of Atom did you use? I'm curious whether newer releases actually feel better.

I'm an emacs user myself, but am looking at whether to recommend Atom to others.
YES. They have.
Linguistically, I believe that the Californian usage (e.g., "the 5") is an elliptical construction -- i.e., it's a truncated form of "the 5 freeway".
This might be harder to gauge than you think. Maybe a Tesla is much safer on the highway, but less safe in the city, or the other way around. Or less safe on ice, etc. The averaged risk (and we probably won't have anything else for a while) over the whole population might be quite different from that for your actual use.

Has anyone seen anything about how to get it not to unlock automatically with your face when you look at it?

I have bus times on my lock screen, one swipe to the left away. That seems to become obsolete if the phone automatically unlocks when I look at it.

Additionally, swiping up from the bottom is the single least effective swipe for me. Pulling up Control Center fails for me more often than not, with the little "looking for me?" rectangular handle popping up on the bottom, and still it doesn't work well.

I wonder also what this means for screenshots; with no Home Button to push along with the power button, what do you do? And what do those screenshots even look like, given the ears at the top of the display?
From Google search:

"a dramatic and wide-reaching change in the way something works or is organized or in people's ideas about it."

I didn't deny the actual definition of revolution and I recognized it. I am merely expressing my view on the following comments, which are what being discussed here.

First comment:

Do you think phones are a "done" thing? I mean what we are seeing these days is more of an evolution than revolution.
It's always been an evolution.

Your comment:

It wasn't always an evolution.
And for the first few years after that everything was changing so fast it was a revolution.

Breaking norm is a revolution, but the steps are evolution. Everything is evolution.
That's just one of the ways to unlock the phone. You can use a password when traveling for eg.
Writing the template and the content in HTML is easy enough for me, but I'm still struggling to make post lists, feeds and other things out of it without a lot of administrative effort.
Having used an iPhone with pressure sensitive screen the past year, it remains unused for me, partly because the gesture feels unnatural and partly since most apps don't support it, I dont expect it to do anything.
Yes, but then our physics wouldn't be "totally flawed". It would just be incomplete in some ways.
Kiwis also say "greezy", how does that fit your theory?
It's not clear whether the false positives would mainly be among "similar faces", or it probably could happen due to signature collisions on entirely different faces? Like, a weakness in the algorithm which causes two entirely different faces to hash to a very similar signature.
How can autopilot be involved in a fatality when used correctly, when by very definition the correct use implies alert driver who is responsible for everything that happens?
Here are the reasons I use my iPhone as my main device although I also own a Nexus.

1) Scroll to the top of the page
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pvJDXTNblbQ

2) Hold home button to activate Siri without unlocking phone. There
is no Google Assintant button on most Android devices except the
Samsung S8. I want to be able to activate with headphones on while in my pocket without having to count on Ok Google.

3) Album covers are displayed like this on Android.
https://img.gadgethacks.com/img/25/61/63562663618448/0/disab...
While on my iPhone it looks like this
http://community.oppo.com/en/forum.php?mod=oppo_attachment_x...
I want to see the entire album cover.

4) The battery life is better on my iPhone especially when listening to music.

The apps are slighty better in my experience. Want an example? Spotify allows reordering of songs on iPhones but not Androids.
It doesn't diminish their value, but it takes away from the magic and showmanship behind the whole event.
The difference is that if two people in e.g. a class have the same birthday then there will be a day when those two have birthdays, whereas if two people in the same auditorium have the same code, or face, then that has no implications. There is no process where all faces are cycled through and applied to all phones or similar.

So regardless of how many people in a room, or a country, have the same face you still need to bring your one phone up to 1 million people to unlock it.
Could have to do with the wireless charging and/or wireless communication properties.
21.26MB is quite a high price for a single webpage. That's what's so obnoxious about the Apple website; it's a huge amount of marketing and huge images.
And I thought that removing the headphone jack for the 7 was the worst possible decision they could make.

Does every design meeting at Apple start with: "What beloved feature can we remove and replace with something no one fucking cares about?"
Any reasonable developer will likely just use the safe area (which excludes the notch) to display video, photos or games.

Nope, this is the same Qi standard that's been used in almost every wirelessly-chargable device.

There's some competing standards like AirFuel (nee A4WP), which might be better. Doesn't matter if nobody uses them.
Y'see, I do get all that. And I could have phrased the "never heard of ordering" thing better: of course I have.

What I've never heard of is people relying on that to get DNS results correct. If your first server doesn't work, you _get the wrong results_. I don't understand on what planet that is acceptable sysadmin setup.

Split DNS zones have been a thing for years. This isn't a good substitute.
My point exactly, if you use the phone for just 1 hour a day and keep it for 2 years then you pay ~$1.36 a day for the hardware. I use my phone for 2-3 hours a day so the cost is probably closer to $0.45/day. It makes perfect sense, even if you tack on Apple care it's still a good value (for me).
Oh, this is very interesting! Please keep us posted!
Seems like all these features were previously available on Android phone for (quite) some time:

- "bezel-less" display

- wireless charging

- no hardware buttons on the front

- facial recognition

- dual cameras

Not to downplay the quality engineering of Apple, but this seems like a big "meh..." to me. A lot of hype for stuff that is commonplace.
The iPhone 4 was my favorite device, design-wise, I've ever owned. I love the glass on both sides and am excited to see it return.
Families calling the cops is absolutely essential when the addicted person is harmful to others and refuses to get help, even if for understandable reasons (like fear of withdrawal). Hopefully the courts would offer a choice to get themselves interned into a rehabilitation house, like they do here, but that's a second step.
The price of products is more a function of the perceived value for the consumer, than a sum of the cost of the components.

Adding more expensive components to a phone, doesn't make its value go up if it doesn't add some extra functionality or durability or something.

The array of components for FaceID are just replacing TouchID, so for the consumer the net value is 0.

I don't care what they have to add to make it work, what matters to me as a consumer, is what value I get out of it. And at the moment it looks like a net of 0.

You see why I say "I don't care"?
They need to leave a few features for the 8S and XS upgrades.
It would be awesome if they could use the facial recognition feature to eliminate the problem with spurious landscape/portrait mode switches when you are lying in bed, reading the phone at an angle.
but the market for professional face masks that can pass a faceid check just opened up.
I used to be like this until I went through 2 iPhone 7s in the span of a month (dropped both of them). Now I've accepted my fate as a loser case-using pleb for my phone :(. Props to you for fighting the good fight, though!
I am guessing we need 1 TB RAM for it.
iCloud Activation Lock still applies unlocked or not, you need to enter passcode to disable it.

Also if you close your eyes or look away it wont unlock, arguably harder to force than putting someones finger on the phone
Same. I think you can get used to the notch itself but if you're watching a video fullscreen then they _really_ need to fill in the rest so it's a solid black bar versus it obscuring part of the actual video.
> I think that's why people are talking up what they see as an alternative to the monolithic IDE: the lightweight text editor with support for extensions.

Which is what vim and emacs, relative to IntelliJ, VS, VSCode, and Atom, are.

well, I'm pretty sure it won't work properly with a burqa or niqab either, but anyone who has an obstructed face is pretty much hosed.
Well, you could ban any unknown devices that appear on your network. That's not too difficult.
facemasks are static whereas features/muscles on a face move a bit?
Remains to be seen if this Airpower thing will be that.
It actually only unlocks but does not go home until you do the new home button gesture which is swiping from the bottom. Nothing to be worried about
To be fair, the MB Air is fairly old in comparison. Also, the display is far better on the iPhone X and last time iPhone 7 was compared, it faired better than many notebooks in CPU tests as well. It only got better since then.
I'm not buying one until Spotify has an app for it. I'm not switching to Apple Music just to get a watch.
It, like Windows Hello, doesn't "unlock" until you swipe up. You can still do things from the lock screen without unlocking it.
How would that be any different than knocking someone out and using their finger for the Touch ID?
Or famous enough to be able to do so at no real to cost himself.
I have huge trust in the NTSB, both from a public good perspective, and from a standpoint of their competency to examine incidents. They also seem to be pretty open with how even the smallest incidents they investigate have demonstration videos and findings made public.

Their involvement can only be a positive in the self-driving car industry
My iPhone 6 is from 2014, next year it'll still run a supported OS that seems to be about as snappy as the previous version. Assuming a yearly iOS release that's 4 years next year (assuming they stop supporting iPhone 6 in iOS 12).

I think prices have stayed pretty much the same or become lower over the years. You can get a 64GB iPhone 8 this year for $699, vs $749 for the iPhone 6 in 2014. I think the iPhone 8 is still a pretty "premium" experience, even if Apple now has a more fancy and more expensive model.
Well, it IS that way with PC's too, it's just been a bit slower. Try finding a modern motherboard with an AGP slot or a real parrallel port.
Because lisps are unique and cool. Really, they are quite special.
I would beg to upgrade to Frontpage express over the current domain-specific WYSIWYG I'm using day to day right now.

You'll probably have to pay around $10 to add cellular for the watch, similar to how it works for the iPad plan.

I'm an iPhone owner who downvoted, but honest truth if he'd been taking about Samsung I'd have downvoted. Uninformed bile like that has no place on HN. Passion, high standards, a critical attitude fine, but at least get the facts right.
You could fix the speed to whatever would allow a person to jump back when warned. But I suspect that speed is pretty low.

The answer is tough shit, you don't get to not pay attention while driving. Get an uber then.

Having adaptive cruise control that manages stop and go will absolutely change the number of people on their phones.
That's how one might hope it works, but it doesn't. First of all, it's a lot to expect of anyone who's been struggling in a field for well over a decade (from the start of grad school to the grant of tenure) to suddenly turn around and stop doing the things (like chasing novelty at the expense of rigor) that have been key to academic survival up to that point. Second, the system doesn't incentivize that kind of behavior. If you put your grant pipeline at risk by making a big bet, you could well end up spending most of your time teaching undergraduates because academics who don't pull down lots of grant money are penalized with heavier teaching loads. (Not that this ought to be seen as a penalty, but that's another rant.)
They've designed it with maximum meme potential.
That's how we do it in 2017. Want to handle an on-click? You need dozens of NPM modules and webpack. Look at Docker's cowsay "hello world" example - it has to satisfy several (dozens?) of perl dependencies just to render ASCII art.
It's a great achievement, and from the demo it looks like they're almost there (the framerate looked a little low and the characters were missing some subtleties of facial expression). I'll make a wild guess and say that in three years it's going to be nearly seamless.
The dimensions seem much more focused on aesthetics than functionality to me. Being mostly thin doesn't seem to buy much when the camera sticks out. Why not make it uniformly thick and increase the battery capacity?

For those of us who enjoy one handed use, the SE still seems unmatched.
Only for 400 series highways, and the QEW. "Take the four-ten to highway ten then continue north." Or "take eleven south until you reach the four-hundred."
Here (Pittsburgh) the vowel in "down" or "town" is a monophthong instead of a diphthong like it is pretty much everywhere else.

I wonder if part of the reason for the diversity of regional accents in English is because pronunciation is more loosely encoded than in languages that have more vowel symbols or modifying marks, or strict phonetic pronunciation. Written English doesn't really provide many strong indicators that a particular pronunciation isn't standard.
You realize this page is specifically for marketing right? Would you prefer they just posted a .txt?
IMO this guide is great, but uses some unnecessarily complex terminal commands. You don't need to use `git worktree` and `git submodule` to set up your hugo site. There are more self-explanatory ways of doing the same things.
You don't own a MacBook do you?
I'd be okay if they removed the headphone jack if the box came with 2x USB-C headphone jack converters (for when I naturally lose the first one). And they sell them everywhere for $5-10 at most.

If I had to go to an Apple store every time I lost my headphones and had to pay $20 for a new converter I'd go crazy. And I heard they don't even come with a free one with new iPhone's? (I could be wrong here)

This is the real core of the problem to me... they have to make legacy support extremely seamless after making an extreme early adopter product transition to wireless headphone tech. At least with the lighting chargers they are everywhere and cheap.
and don't forget that most (all?) modern lines have been funded directly by the US government. For all intents and purposes...they are government owned.
There's no member of that preimage in which modern science is totally flawed.
You are entirely missing my point, but fine.

What would be revolutionary in your perspective?

Smartphones existed for a decade before the iPhone came out. They didn't have a lot of power, but focused on what they could - productivity quite well in the case of Palm. Tablets have existed even longer.

Maybe we are in an oscillation of technology where the horsepower available is much higher than what it's being used for (the fight for our attention, distractions and seeking those doses of novelty).

The opportunity for revolution at present appears to be more in software experiences, than the hardware itself in smartphones.
I fought for Atom for a long time. But after browsing a node_modules folder in Code, I realized how much I'd just accepted poor performance. It also worked as good on my Linux devices as my work pc.
The trade off speed for the increased risk is less time on the road.

The trade off for autopilot is that you don't have to move your foot 2-3inches every 20 seconds. That's not worth the increased risk.
Although iPhone X is a beautiful device and depth camera will have many innovative applications, I'm so disappointed with iPhone 8(plus). There is barely any difference with iPhone 7(plus). As for wireless charging - seems like charging pad will be available only next year and you will have to spend extra money. Considering rumored problems with iPhone X production and starting shipping it beginning november I would expect their year to year sales go down.
Exactly, I think you're just describing marketing, which some would view as a form of dishonesty or at least smoke and mirrors.
I'm pretty curious about the new AI chip that Apple might put in their phone. If the integration with Core ML works well, it might lead to a series of new interesting apps.
Which begs the question:

Would Jobs have delivered this?

note:
I personally say no. The form factor is, with all it's curves, a failure for creating UI/UX that feels complete. It's going to force more people to go Android first with their software development. When Android starts getting newer and better software more frequently the sea change will continue to widen and even long lasting fans will want to try something else.
The cut-out also has the speaker, front facing camera, and ambient light sensor, or would you go without those as well?
No, it's projecting dots onto the face for 3D mapping, and has an IR camera (which I'd guess maps facial heat).
The keynote mentioned multiple times that the face must be actively engaged. Passers by or sleeping faces won't work. Maybe watch it again.

My guess is it will be called iPhone X Series 2. Also iPhone 8/8 Plus next year will change to "iPhone" and "iPhone Plus". All follow the same Apple Watch naming as they can't have iPhone 10/iPhone 10 Plus. They keep the "8" this year probably for the hope to gain market share in China as people there like the number "8".
