1) if you have Bluetooth headphones, they just work. Any brand.

2) if you prefer wired headphones, they just work too using the contents of the box your phone came in.

Seriously, you act like Apple released a smartphone without a screen. Grow up!
It's actually misunderstanding the DNS. There are a lot of misunderstandings of the DNS, unfortunately. This is such a common one that I wrote a Frequently Given Answer about it in 2003, years before systemd was even an idea.

* http://jdebp.eu./FGA/dns-client-all-proxies-must-provide-sam...

There's a lot of such misunderstanding here in this discussion, with people asserting, erroneously, that there's a standard, or at least conventional, behaviour for multiple proxy DNS server listings in /etc/resolv.conf, that systemd-resolved is deviating from. In fact, there is a very prominent difference between two widely used softwares that predates systemd by decades, namely nslookup and the C library's DNS client. In actual fact there is not one single conventional behaviour. This particular Frequently Given Answer touching upon the differences in the access patterns dates from 2001, and people are still making this conceptual error about how DNS works 16 years later.

Is the sound quality of the lightning to headphone jack adapter inferior to the built-in DAC of previous models?
From what I recall hearing from Apple peeps 6+ years ago, it causes people to fetishize the phone more as a fragile object they have to protect and personalize.
For hedging against fiat currencies, short-term price fluctuations are irrelevant. Long-term price trend is what matters, and Bitcoin gained 4×/7×/18×/32× over the last 6/12/24/48 months, far beating the inflation of all world's fiat currencies.

They're "compiled in" in the sense that they're the upstream default - people are generally expected to use systemd from a Linux distro, and distributors are expected to patch this to some appropriate default (or patch out the fallback entirely, if your distro would prefer your users get no DNS to Google DNS, which seems like a defensible decision to make). There are no upstream binary releases. 8.8.8.8 is as reasonable as anything else for someone running `make` on the upstream sources and hacking on things; it's probably not a great default for a downstream distributor.

I can and do blame them without hesitation. They could choose not to store that data, or make it zero-knowledge-based, yet they choose not to.

Just because they've been compelled to hand over data via legal means does not excuse them for doing the wrong/insecure thing in the first place.

What about just printing out a photo and placing it in front of the camera? Does it have some way of understanding depth?
Rant:

Systemd as a project run by people abuses this confusion. In the minds of most normal people, when you prefix a name with another name, you're implying a deep association. Apple Watch, Apple iPhone. Systemd Journal, Systemd resolver.

When people criticize Systemd's continued absorption of Linux system services, they point at it being "modular" (despite it being a rapidly moving target with no real alternative replacements - i.e. modular in the purely theoretical sense of the word), and then take criticisms of the individual parts as criticisms of the whole in an attempt to shout the detractors down strawman-style.

Most of the problems with systemd can be chalked up to its leadership and utterly toxic cultural impact, rather than its technical merits (or lack thereof).

Most people with a problem with systemd don't have a problem with systemd as code - they have a problem with systemd as this creeping monstrosity that keeps eating services that have worked fine for decades in the name of objectively worse replacements. Did name resolution, NTP, and so forth really gain anything tangibly meaningful from their assimilation, other than integration with systemd? Did those services gain more than they lost in annoyances by system admins troubleshooting the changes?

We arguably needed a new init system (and I'll just gloss over things like Upstart and OpenRC). We did not need yet another new NTP, DNS, cron, logger, auditd, and fucking QR code library tied into the system internals!
Given that they say it works in the dark, I'd guess dark skin works equally well. They also use a black guy in their marketing material, where he's wearing a winter hat, scarf, and grows a beard
I know it is supposed to be "local" or "onboard" only with the new processor but...mildly spooky.
There's nothing controversial about front crash avoidance being beneficial, especially with auto braking. As a feature it is more and more widely deployed, probably becoming standard in the next few years.

It would be interesting to see how often autobraking is key and how often the rest of the autopilot improves safety.
Put "don't crash into things" in the manual and all accidents are incorrect use by definition? That's why it matters.
My understanding was that there'd be a constrained supply of the OLEDs in particular, so this is priced to sell at lower volumes than the SE/6S/7/8.
I don't have enough RAM that journal is usually in cache (just anecdotally, it seems to always be slow the first time in a session that I run it). Nonetheless, I can access most uncached contents of my disk much faster than this:

$ time journalctl -r | head -n 50
(...)
journalctl -r 0,01s user 0,04s system 0% cpu 5,289 total
head -n 50 0,00s user 0,00s system 0% cpu 5,287 total

If your lifestyle involves embracing the capitalist consumption treadmill of buying new hardware every couple of years, systemd-journald may be for you. Otherwise prepare to be told to throw away perfectly good computer hardware because Lennart is too lazy to design software that can cope gracefully with disk latency.

iPhone 4/4S design was awesome.

It's funny how Apple is calling this an all-new glass design when other phones on the market have a similar design and Apple themselves had this design five years ago.
With all that hype building up, I was hoping they would introduce something less underwhelming than an iPhone without a home button like you know... a new wearable.
Many surgical items are reused - for example scissors, and retractors. Surgeons may have their own set of tools that they continue to use.

Lower cost items are not reused (a scalpel, which might simply be a piece of plastic attached to a blade).
I was ok with it until they played a video clip and it played it with the (partial) black strip.
It's not just the accuracy, but the context switch. Apple Pay only works because you don't need to look at your phone to make it work.
of course they would not reintroduce the headphone jack, Apple does not do such a thing. They just accept that they did it too early and sit it out.
Neat, wireless charging, exactly like I had on my Nexus 5, around 5 years ago :) The best thing about the iPhone 8 is that it might finally make wireless chargers more commonplace, they are extremely convenient as Android users have been trying to tell for years.

Here's another one trick Apple might want to pick up on: I own both an iPhone 7 and a Nexus 6P, and the fingerprint sensor being in the middle of the back on 6P is unquestionably a better choice (Samsung messes up the placement). You can pick up the phone, unlock, and pull down the notification shade in one single natural motion. Maybe a few years from now...
Is the DAC even good enough in the iPhone at that point? Even if you had a straight jack audiophile headphones are probably not getting much benefit over, say, Bose headphones are they?
The real question is - who wants wireless charging? This is how they achieve that..
At the time (released in sept 2015) 4K TVs were actually generally available: https://www.avforums.com/article/best-4k-ultra-hd-tvs-2014.1... and Netflix already supported 4K videos. Youtube had it years before that.

Apple has always been on the forefront of technology, with things like Retina displays, long before other vendors. I think they should've been there with 4K too.
Thank you for this! Will always keep it in mind!

You both can be right: you are talking about costs and noncoml is talking about perceived value to hirself.
Doesn't science also apply to science? We should be sciencing our science which means being skeptical of all conclusions, even your own. I feel your stress. I use to even call myself a scientist, and regard myself as a scientist, but then I realized 90% of my work is entirely unmeasured and there is no sense of effectiveness of the remaining 10% that actually makes it to production.
No. What Ive means by that is they were bound by the constraints in technology so far so they could not achieve this vision so far.

This is similar to what James Cameron said after filming 'Avatar' that his vision was to create such a film for more than a decade but slow technology advancement was the reason he could not make this film sooner.
> Status symbol, you don't know I'm a "loser" making $150 a month, but you know that I have an iPhone.

So very sad. Generally you see this with people that can afford it the least. $999 for the base model is just ridiculous. Next year Apple will offer the "first ever", "incredible" 10 year amortization on the iPhone XI. Soon they will reach price parity with the MBP and one could have apple gear or a down payment on a nice house Phoenix.
It probably activates when the phone is raised or held at certain angles. They're pretty smart at recognising the ways devices are held and moved, such as with the watch activating when you raise and turn your wrist to check the time.

Also when Craig demonstrated it, he raised the phone, looked at it and also swiped up from the bottom. If that's how it works, they might activate the sensors at the beginning of the swipe gesture.
yes, but that's not really an issue. If it's not a real gain (inflation adjusted), then it's not income, and doesn't need to be taxed.

(I also have fond memories of Think C and then Metrowerks, back in the day. A lot of us used them at Apple, instead of the official MPW.)

This brings up some other advantages of text editors versus IDEs, within my limited experience:

* More rapid support for more languages and syntaxes

* Many of the IDEs just feel sluggish. (Yes, Atom can get that way with large files, large numbers of files, or too many plugins.)

* Xcode in particular kept crashing on me last time I used it for Swift.
fwiw, they make drafting stool aeron high-chairs. protip: buy one used, because the new price is high even for HM.
That's crazy, if this is because of doctors, that shows $280 a year is enough to substantially influence a doctor making 500-2000x that.
"Recently, using indentation as the sole grouping construct of a language has become popular".

Given that popularity doesn't say a peep about merits, it's worthless as an indicator of where to go. There are plenty of good reasons to not treat indentation as syntax. One of the more enjoyable aspects of Lisp is that that grouping is obvious, especially given an editor that knows how to count parens.
It looks like they made a point in one of their promo ads that it also works at an angle and with weird lighting/obstructions (the video of the swimmer looking down at her phone that was flat against the edge of the pool).
If I remember right from the keynote, "no post processing" wasn't mentioned on the photos that had the new lighting feature. Even if it were, however, I'd still call it true; I would consider post processing something that you do outside of the Camera app (e.g. even editing it Photos to adjust lighting, black point, saturation). Something you do in the Camera app, even if it does some fancy "magic", I would argue falls outside of the post-processing realm.
I'm not a camera hardware expert, but my understanding is that (like most things), the booting process uses up more power than the same duration of time in a steady state. So the "five minutes" number is misleading; if that 5 minutes is broken up into hundreds of discrete startup cycles (which is not at all unrealistic - people instinctively check their phone a lot more often than they think – and there's no way for the phone to tell whether you're turning it on to glance at the clock or to unlock it until after it's turned the camera on), then it's a significant amount of power draw.
I’d think the problem is in having to carry an adapter with you all the time, which is easy to forget.
Hi Nikolay.
Viber's DevRel here. Super sorry to hear that. Can you please shot me an email over devsupport[at]viber[dot]com?
I'll try to fix this.
Then all the more reason for replication. Shouldn't we focus on making the foundation as robust as possible, before building more on it? It's possible to discover something exciting, or completely novel, but "exciting" and "novel" shouldn't really be the sole pursuit of a scientist. Rather, all outcomes including 'boring' ones should be considered with equal attention.
Some friends and I have defeated a few other devices with face unlock features. It was the super technical task of finding and printing a photo found on social networking sites, then holding it up to the camera. I wonder if apple has hardened against this.
In a Google doc. While you may say a Google doc is a suboptimal environment for coding, it was literally fizzbuzz.
I really wish a phone company would just make a "macbook pro" of the phone world. Something where the hardware and battery can keep up with the OS for the next 4 years. Something where every new OS release isn't destroying my performance, and maybe even MAKING my performance better.

We are getting all this new tech in the phone space, faster processors, more ram, etc. But prices keep going up for "premium" experiences. Seems backwards to me
It was necessary for the wireless charging.
I like this one

"What is the best comment in source code you have ever encountered?"
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/184618/what-is-the-best-...
They're referring to how a lot of these plugins are features extracted from Nuclide and/or open sourced by Facebook.
I actually meant it more in this vein: "Given that the current descent into barbarbarism -- enacted by an outlier minority of their population, in one tiny corner of their country -- is still but a tiny fraction of what the Europeans, Arabs and their local proxies did, and much more as a popular and broadly-supported effort across pretty much the entire globe, across literally tens of generations, from about 500 until about 50 years ago -- as a people and a culture they aren't looking so bad."

Barbaric and shameful though it is.

This is, of course, a threat model issue. If you're Assange/Snowden, you might want to shy away from Face ID, but you probably didn't have Touch ID on anyway.
Isn't this what the Kinect does to determine who you are and sign you on for the Xbox? I think that's been around for 4-5 years. Impressive they can do it all on the phone.
No, one should probably never use unregistered suffixes. But that’s not to say that all DNS names should be public, nor that NAT is practically avoidable, so this is beside the point.

What one should do is only choose DNS servers capable of properly resolving all addresses, as it shouldn’t be the resolver’s responsibility to “shop around” for answers.

Fixing VPN configurations that complicate this should be the responsibility of VPN client software — by providing a forwarding DNS server that falls back to the originally configured servers, say — not the resolver, and similarly for any other cases where standard resolver behavior does not suffice.

Application software, for its part, shouldn’t generally rely on implementation-defined resolver behavior, as doing so is obviously not portable, but that’s less sinful than a VPN relying on client library-level support to work around the fact that it’s exposing a broken network configuration.

Note that I have no axe to grind one way or another in the systemd debate: Linux isn’t me primary OS, but I regularly use and abuse both systemd and non-systemd Linux systems, and all the Linux init systems seem to work at least as well as any other system I regularly use (OS X, FreeBSD, Windows) for most practical purposes.
> all-new glass design

It's technically true, it is all new. No other phone was the same (just very very damn similar). Yes, it's a cheap marketing phrase that's meaningless, kinda par for the course with an Apple keynote.
they can also go XL, XXL, XXXL and so on :p
> 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. What we're seeing now is a trend towards cellular everywhere, and device-agnostic services (same phone number on your Apple Watch as your iPhone). The next shift seems like it will be greater situational awareness in your devices -- your device can understand its surroundings (ARKit), and what you look like (Face ID).

So phones as a category may lose their uniqueness, in that other devices can fill the same roll, but I think we'll always see an evolution of a phone -- that is, a pocketable connected computing device.
These keynotes were magical before leakers leaked everything. I'm wondering if Apple should scrap these and aim for smaller, unplanned releases instead.

As far as this phone goes, I am really excited to see how it stacks up to the Galaxy S8. Face ID is incredibly enticing, but Samsung Pay is much more universal. The only thing that is making me want to retreat back to an iPhone is its inferior Bluetooth audio quality.
Yeah, in my last job I saw I was making the company over a million Euros a year, if you split the projects among the employees working on them. And I got an entry level salary.

It was demoralizing, I switched to a bigger company that pays well. And it's so soul sucking that I yearn for my last job. Money isn't everything. Life is still unfair.
Investigating the future of criminal smart contracts
Yup, so Apple knows about your data.

And according to that slide they are a "provider" for NSA.

End-to-end encryption at least maybe guarantees that it is not your ISP that is selling you out to NSA (making it harder for Apple to explain why they are on that list).
yes. They are deamons which are spawned by the editor and which are running locally on the machine. The daemons are reapsonsible for analyzing code in the edited project and to provide IDE-like features (auto-completion, refactorings, etc.) around it. The editor talks to the daemon (language-service) through an RPC protocol (language server protocol).
Looks great. UI looks top notch and I agree this is something I might want for personal use.

I interviewed at a start up in NYC looking to do something almost identical about 6 months ago, just FYI for competition sake. I looked you guys up on angellist so I know you aren't them. Cheers.
It's a hugely beneficial visual when they are deciding what to prioritize on the roadmap going forward.

It's input directly from their user base about what they want in their work environment.
And yet, according to the NHTSA, cars are still much safer with it than without it. You seem to be smack-talking rather than offering a reasoned analysis of whether Autopilot is better than no-Autopilot.

> Insofar as an OS is really a visible middleware layer that lets you run application software and manage files, I don't know if the lack of applications can be hand-waved away; that's a very tough nut to crack.

Yes and no. For most people, Linux is more than ready to be their only OS. There's no lack of functional software. I went through University only using Linux on my computer.

Edit - For example, most of the profs use LibreOffice, for sharing everyone uses Google docs, statistics and economics homework was done with R (Excel and Stata were the other options), all CS homework could be done on Linux. The only place I had to use Windows at all was a single course (Finance) where Excel was taught. I still just used LibreOffice then transferred the files to a school computer to make sure the output was correct.
----------------------------------

The only problem is that certain software still has the public's mind-share.

> But it's a much harder sell to someone doing, say, financial analysis or data modeling, where they absolutely must use Excel or SPSS.

Excel sucks and SPSS does run on Linux.
I just vaguely hold it near the pay machine every day when buying lunch.
