I'm impressed with the presentation and looking forward to the iPhone X. Some features are gimmicky like the Animoji, but a lot of the new features and upgrades are really nice. That being said I have two main gripes.

I know it kind of goes against how their Camera app and system works, but I really wish that Apple would (or will) enable RAW shooting from within the default Camera app. I use a separate app, besides for the special features like level and white balance adjustment, for the RAW shooting. I feel that it's kind of put there because it's available but they don't really care about it -- you can tell from the fact that the Photos app doesn't properly show RAW photos. It would be great if you could seamlessly take a photo and be able to take and export the RAW if you enabled a flag in the settings, just like how 4K was/is hidden behind a flag.

The other gripe is now the control center is from the top, rather than the bottom. I use the control center often when controlling music and the flashlight and it makes it less usable for one hand. In fact, I'm wondering how the "swipe from the bottom" will work with apps that take over that gesture, because I run into a lot of issues with trying to open the control center but being annoyingly overridden by the current app. I'm hopeful but hesitant that Apple thought of this and worked out kinks regarding this.

You can't address the full color gamut without increased signaling bandwidth, which HDR provides. Or do you really want your 10bpp TV outputting 8bpp?
I can't wait for someone to pick up my phone, point it at my face and have it unlock. Hope it has a "User sleeping, can't unlock" feature.
>But that does not indicate anything about conditions where autopilot should not be used in which it is gravely dangerous.

Yes it does include those conditions because this specific accident occurred in conditions in which autopilot should not be used. That single fatality is the only one that autopilot has seen in close to one billion miles. That is an order of magnitude better than traditional fatality rates.

That leaves two possible scenarios. Either people are likely to use this system incorrectly, in which case many of those billion miles were used in poor conditions for the autopilot. Or few people are likely to use the system incorrectly, in which there is little to worry about since the autopilot system has never been involved in a reported fatality when used properly.

The hardware/software integration is a big part of it, it's not just the software.

Linux attempts a much harder task than MacOS, in trying to be compatible with a wide variety of hardware. That it's even considered remotely comparable to a product that's sold only on a few supported platforms at a time is impressive. (In fairness, Windows manages this too, although it does it by forcing most of the work on hardware vendors and OEMs to do driver development and integration, respectively.)

Although a few companies have tried over the years to do Linux preinstalled on private-label hardware, thus taking the hardware-compatibility and installation issues out of the picture, there's sort of a chicken-and-egg issue with doing it at scale. Apple has managed to always have just enough volume to compete with commodity systems (even if just barely compete, particularly on price) but present a tightly-coupled hardware/software package.
There's no perfect solution to this problem. Secure password is too clumsy to enter on phone many times per hour. Passcodes are easy to catch via shoulder surfing.
I think the primary argument that I've heard against typedefing function pointers is you can end up obfuscating what is happening and end up making the code less readable/harder to maintain in the future.

We added a pedal-assist ebike motor to our camp's quad bike (2x2 tandem; 4 passengers).

The high Ah capacity was to support using the motor and accessories (atv soundsystem, lots of "dotstar"-style LED strips) periodically throughout the day and night.

We had two batteries and two sets of solar charging systems: a large, heavy 270-watt panel at camp and 2x 100-watt flexible panels for the bike.

Bike panels extended the range of the bike through a combination of powering accessories during the day, recharging the battery (when not using the motor), and reducing the load on the battery by providing supplemental power directly to the motor controller (when using the motor). "750" watt motor, ~200 w of solar, so not really possible to drive without also using the battery.

Meanwhile, the spare battery is charging at camp and also available for light loads like phone charging and some lights at night.

Every day or two we swap the batteries such that the bike has the more fully charged one.

HDR10 is an instance of an HDR standard. All of them include higher gamut color except SL-HDR1, which is not itself an HDR standard but an encoding mechanism for embedding HDR in SDR.

So it appears all the "HDR" standards include higher gamut settings, making the simplification true enough for me to call it correct.
Sorry, I didn't mean to imply that it was "bad" when I said "hack". I meant that it was introduced in order to solve a problem introduced by another design change (i.e. the removal of touch ID).
The behavior these people are asking for is an implementation detail specific to glibc. It's also incorrect: all DNS resolvers listed in resolv.conf are assumed by relevant standards to return the same results as each other. I feel bad for the systemd developers, getting bug reports from people who don't understand their own computers.
> BTW, the lack of new results is actually a good thing. It means we've got a lot of stuff figured out.

Not necessarily. If anything, the more we find out, the more we realise how much we don't know. Take quantum physics, that stuff slowed down since the 1930s.

It's not a bad thing, the journey's always fun too. But let's not kid ourselves that we're close to figuring everything out.
I'm aware that it uses an IR camera. What I'm curious about is what the accuracy rates are in practice for light vs dark skinned people for Face ID in general. There's more to Face ID than just the type of camera they're using, I imagine. Also, what do you mean by that wouldn't be.... What is "that?"

Being water proof and having a cellular connection are great features. I like swimming and nothing else on the market does swim tracking as well.

I can go for a run, a swim, buy lunch, and take an Uber home all without my phone.

I bought the Series 1 and stopped using it because it drained the battery on my phone, especially if I was using something like Uber that needed to continuously communicate to the watch. Would love to read reviews on the battery life of the watch.
My answer may not be satisfying, as I was never much of an init guru - never bothered much with configuration.

But here are my systemd observations:

- log files now are binary and accessed by `journalctl` - it's a bit less convenient than looking for text files in `/var/log`

- unit files are a miracle. For the 7 or so years before systemd, I wrote one unportable init script, and I hated it. Now I churn them out whenver I feel like it - they are standardized and the docs are incredible.

Apart from that, nothing really changed from my POV, and I use systemd on desktop as well as in small servers.
Doubtful, this is a perfect way to force customers wanting the watch into their new plans, which are almost always worse.
The solution is simple: make every company involved in a project liable for every worker.

Worker has an accident? Make sure that both the factory, the temp agency, and any intermediaries are liable.

If every company involved in a project was liable for ensuring employment laws are upheld, there would be no point in using “temp agencies” to shift the blame.

Temp agencies are a somewhat recent move to circumvent employment laws; we should be able to fix that loophole.
Exchanging between bitcoin and another currency also imposes a fee, so that is not an apples to apples comparison.

People in different countries use different currencies. Even if the Euro is a stronger currency than the Nigerian naira, you're still going to want to use the naira in Nigeria.

Why? Because that is what people use to pay their taxes, and that huge entrenched demand creates a de facto common currency even without de jure legal tender laws.

While in theory it is probable that btc growth will never be as astronomic as it has been in the past, you can't time the market, and there's no telling where the true ceiling is because this market is so inneficient.

Aside: the inneficiency I think comes from ignorance and manipulation of btc, not a flaw in btc itself.

> I had never heard of the ordering of the DNS servers being meaningful

Well, congratulations, there is a first time to have heard everything.

Ordering of DNS servers matters. For instance, you might have a fast one near-by (perhaps on the same machine or LAN segment); and a fallback one that is more costly to use (few hops of latency, more network resources).

> DNS is supposed to be reliable.

In that case, what you should never have heard of is people pointing to more than one DNS server simultaneously. They should have the one and only one which is reliable and that's it. (In fact, that is not an uncommon scenario; that DNS server does the recursion to others if it doesn't have the info.)
Samsung didn't do face unlock first either, it was part of Android 4.0. Of course, using a single camera without movement you'll only get 2d data, so it shouldn't stand a chance against Apple's 3d sensor.

>Again, solutions to these (ie. Venmo, Square Cash, Facebook Cash for p2p) do not require blockchain. How does blockchain tech help in these use cases?

Bitcoin is the only decentralized one. I don't think it means everyone needs to use it, but I think the role it fills is a very important one.

I feel like this criticism is like criticizing torrents or personal NAS media devices when fileplanet.com and dropbox already exist, or criticizing email when Facebook Messenger exists.
This crash, as well as the one where a Tesla crashed into a concrete barrier are evidence that their tech is not ready for release.

But then you're forced to compare the autopilot accident rates against the regular old human accident rates. When you do that, the autopilot wins every time.

Put another way, I'd be comfortable getting into one of these today. I trust the computer's bugs a lot more than I trust my own. I also trust its reaction time above my own, which is more likely to keep me safe if someone else does something stupid.
No you can pre auth. If you authing at the gate, then youre extremely annoying..

Intellij Ultimate costs me £14 a month, with the plugins (which makes it equivalent to Phpstorm, PyCharm, Rubymine and Webstorm) thats less than I spend on coffee in two weeks, it's insane value however you look at it.

That said I still spend a chunk of time (maybe 30%) in vscode because for somethings I prefer it (it's git support with git lens is incredible) and for TypeScript it's comparable to Intellij with the advantage you can start it, do an edit and close before Intellij has finished re-indexing.
That sounds like a comparison between autopilot miles and general driving miles. What would the comparison look like between autopilot miles and interstate highway miles?

Edit: nope, I was wrong. 1.3 to 0.8 airbag deployment crashes per million miles for Tesla cars before and after autopilot release.
The iPhone 4 was actually the only iPhone with a number which coincided with the generation; before it, there was 2G, then 3G, then 3GS, then 4. If anything, the 3GS should’ve been called the iPhone 3, but they’ve been pretty clear from the start that the name doesn’t really reflect a simple incrementing version number.

BYOL is targeted at implementing Lisp in C and focuses on learning C. There is a fair bit more hand-holding and example code in C for most of the steps than in the mal guide. BYOL is more polished and written in the form of a short book whereas the mal guide intentionally tries to be more concise and informal in style. I would read through the first couple of sections of both and decide based on your own goals and preferences.

There are three standards - HDR10, Dolby Vision and HLG. Apple TV will support the first two, the last one wasn't mentioned.
It's actually harder to drive in these scenarios because your reaction time needs to be faster and your takeover has to be more aggressive. Imagine an edge case where the car veers toward another car unexpectedly. This isn't guaranteed to be avoided by level 3.
They did the same thing for half a century with vinyl, calling it "equalization", because the response curve for vinyl records doesn't really line up with human perception. Ironically, there were so many competing equalization curves that the RIAA finally had to step in and impose their standard (the "RIAA equalization curve"), of which all phono preamps follow to this day.

I don't know the technical details of HDR but this sort of curve compressions is a common trick for matching a medium to our perception. Unless important info is lost, who cares?

Or, can anyone present a head-to-head comparison between 10bpp+ or "HDR"?

Not all DNS servers will return the result in the same amount of time and same amount of network/computing resources.

If the ordder is predictable, I can do some shadowing: if A is searched before B, I can put some entry into A which blocks certain sites or redirects.

Even if we just have one server A, there is still an order! The recursive DNS search implements that order. Each server in the chain has the option to return its own local result, which doesn't have to coincide with the next server that is used.

So, that is to say, DNS is implicitly ordered from the leaf server you're using up to the root one.

Aren't you not supposed to use your phone when driving, and it is specifically against the law to do so in a lot of places? In any case, it's as distracting as using your phone currently because it seems that it doesn't have to be pointed directly in front of your face, as long as it gets a decent look at it.
