Holy crap. Who thought that was a good idea?
That's what I assumed was going to happen, but nowhere in the keynote was it black.
I've always chosen Atom over VSCode because I don't want these features. Autocomplete even on really expensive IDEs runs way to slow, clever auto formatting and it's ilk tend to not work well for me at all, and I dislike the overbearing project management features in most IDEs.

I want a text editor that vaguely understands code with some simple file browsing and plug and play extensions. Atom trying to become VSCode isn't beneficial here at all.
It doesn't have to be better, just on par. The reason to buy one is because you have a 4K TV and you are already buying TV/Movie content from Apple, use Airplay, Apple Music, etc. It's a really easy experience v.s. juggling multiple providers and TV sticks.

Likewise, if you're already deep into Google territory and are buying content from Google Play Music/Videos, YouTube RED, have an Android phone, etc - a Chromecast is the obvious choice since that all works seamlessly in that environment.

The lack of pure replication studies is frustrating, but I am compelled to mention that in many cases the experimental effect of the prior study often ends up becoming the baseline condition of the next study. IF the earlier experimental effect fails to replicate as baseline condition, then it isn't a good baseline in the new research, and thus fails to replicate, and thus the experiment is discontinued.
They generate a depth-map of the face with a pattern projector and IR-camera. Facial bone structure will be unaffected by superficial changes. I suspect things that obscure large portions of the face, like large glasses or a sudden thick beard will give it some difficulties.

I will believe as soon as you justify the correct answer to the demarcation problem. If you don't have an answer, then I'm free to interpret scientific results in my own way, including disbelief.

C'mon, use logic and reason.
I didn't hear the live stream audio. Did they announce anything in that direction?
Labor is a market.
Of course my Motorola (X Play) is getting no updates so I get to spend the evening installing LineageOS and reconfiguring the phone. Should have treated it like a computer: wipe the manufacturer's software right away and install a free alternative.

Pretty sad that random opensource projects are offering better support than the companies I paid for their products.
1) he reads his SF 2) he understands exponential growth.
It was because the phone had been rebooted, and iOS requires a passcode after a reboot.
So, I am dyslexic too? That's new.

I mean, I thought it was just like the article, but if it's also confounding directions (sometimes I have to think about left and right, I sometimes think that California is on the east coast, I make a mess with clockwise/counterclockwise) then I have that problem too.
Way overdue. My Nvidia Shield set top box has 4K HDR and it's over 2 years old now and basically cost the same then as the Apple TV costs today.
You're backtracking. You claimed an engineer's work is deterministic and fully under his or her control. That may be true for a very limited subset of jobs, where engineers are doing essentially trivial tasks, but more generally, that is false.

Are engineers less likely to be held accountable for missing goals due to external factors? That depends on the organization, but that's an entirely different claim.

For business you can use checks, but the speed is much worse, obviously, even with Same Day ACH arriving.

Paypal seller fees are quite steep, that is true, but I assume mainly that is when they are accepting credit cards. Sometimes that is simply pushed to consumers. Paying your rent by credit card always costs extra, but that is because of the risk of default.

But you can always pay your rent online by ACH without a fee.
Fair point. I think general black market retail transactions probably should have been added above.
I doubt it.

The average user loves their social media, texting, and googling. They will spend a few minutes figuring out how to get back to their world of online drama, and Reddit.

I wouldn't be surprised if Apple is using monkeys to test phones in the development stages--of ease of use especially? "Just throw the devise into the cage, and call me when the monkey is on the Apple home page, or reached FB!"

They want to give the average consumer a devise that a average person can buy things on, and yack on, excuse me send text messages, interlaced with emojis.
Can the new camera technology be used to map spaces as big as rooms?

If so, this could be game changing for allowing the creation of VR spaces quickly and inexpensively. E.g., play a VR game in your real house after mapping it with your iPhone X. Or better, do a detailed remodel in VR before doing it in real life.

A lot of commercial uses of VR technology (e.g., construction, industrial design, etc.) can benefit from inexpensive, and accurate mapping. Today, the alternative is to get an architect to build a model of your house, to build a crude version yourself, have a Hololens/Tango phone/or other nascent and expensive technology.

If not, what truly is the game changing aspect of these cameras + specialized compute for machine learning/neural nets? They have to have thought through dozens of use cases beyond photos, animated emojis, and other trivial entertainment... right?
It seems like it'd be a lot easier to compel someone to unlock a phone using FaceID than TouchID and that scares me.
Right, and (many years ago) they added automatic "failback", as well as the "failover" behaviour that systemd-resolved has.

So this isn't a case of systemd-resolved deciding to arbitrarily do things in a new and broken way; rather it's systemd-resolved still being rather immature (but for some reason already ending up as the default on lots of people's systems).
> Anyone else here remember LindowsOS...

I don't just remember, I ordered the desktop!

Linspire's attempt at low-cost did Linux a lot of harm. The desktop was under-powered, their software manager lacked too many apps and... it still suffered from dependency hell - leading to breakage.

While it looked nice, the polish wasn't there. Eventually, I found Mepis and everything just worked but I didn't have enough knowledge & (especially) time to stick with it. It was years before I attempted to go full-time Linux again. I still did lots and lots of distro-hopping though

I'm happy to report that I've been a full-time Linux user the last three years (Mint, for the curious). The entire landscape has changed enough that I have even effortlessly transitioned three users. Most users aren't heavy downloaders like me, so once they have their core apps, they're happy. It literally is click-n-play as far as usage now with the benefit of tremendous built-in hardware support when doing installs.
Nope, no Touch ID. The presenter also failed to unlock via Face ID several times in a row, prompting a "please enter your pin to unlock phone message". Worst time for it to happen.
No golang support, going to pass for now.
Have you tried podcasts? I find going for a walk is much less boring if I'm listening to a podcast.

I don't particularly care if I live a long time either, but I want whatever time I have to suck less.
How do you get to the home screen?

For instance if I'm using an app right now I hit the home button and it take me to my home screen with all of my app icons. How do I do this on the iPhone X?
Choosing someone that looks like the owner would increase the odds greatly. You can't narrow down the search field like that with a PIN or a fingerprint.
Text editors and IDEs are different ends of the spectrum. IDEs present a feature rich and often opinionated dev environment while text editors are, well, editors for text like content.
I never used the words 'fuck them' in any other HN post than this one, I think you have your parties muddled up.
You should watch the keynote then. Calling it "existed on android phones" is borderline incorrect as it uses infrared sensors to match 3D models of your face.
> Rewarding teachers who have best highest test scores, for example, is a pretty good way of disincentivizing good teachers from helping less gifted children.

In the UK at least, they have changed the measurement to one of progress in a basket of subjects. Students are measured as they leave primary school, and the secondary school is rated on how much different their grades are to their predicted grades.

I don't know how they game that system here though, there will always be a way
Face ID is replacing Touch ID on the new iPhone X
PayPal charges 2.5%+ if your friend is in a different country using a different currency, if their country is supported at all.

And Lord help you if the amount is 'too large' or if they think it's actually a business transaction or if any other of their fraud filters are triggered. It could be 6 months before either of you see that money again.
I thought they said it wasn't a standard, but they are working to eventually add it to Qi
My P2 does that, and I find it works well. It's implemented slightly differently- there's no swiping.

Touch button (without actually pressing it down)=back

Long touch button (still without pressing it)=recent apps

Physical press of button=home

I have it set up to wake&unlock with a touch instead of a press, so the only time I have to press the button is to go the homescreen.

I agree partially, but Apple is also expected to introduce some new features, right? Or else, what's left of Steve's legacy?
The Secrets of the Wave Pilots (2016)
Ok, what consumer device had capacitive touch before the iPhone. You just gotta name one! I'm pretty tired of these smug ignorant attitudes, this isn't reddit.

Also, I stated capacitive, not multitouch, if that is meant a strawman.
Yes, you must be the only one.
1) No, on a desktop, you will almost certainly never notice. (I don't, and I've been on systemd-using distributions for some time. It's a workstation, and as long as wake/sleep work, wifi works, and all that jazz, how they work doesn't matter.)

2) No, on a server, I prefer systemd. I write just a small handful of units for services, and it's so so so much simpler to do basic stuff with systemd than trying to put together init scripts to do the same.

My use cases don't depend on a long history of legacy stuff to support, so for me, systemd is simply a win, full stop.
They made representations in court that they identified the specific monkey.

And I'm ... rather surprised ... that they were given anything more than "friend of the court" standing in this.
>> Face ID is pretty much a hack

>> I didn't watch the keynote

This is nothing like the version that's been available on Android for years. Read up on it or watch the keynote before jumping to wild conclusions.
Gotcha, that makes more sense. Having that much difference between the table and the desk surface seems clunky though and multiple monitors feels pretty weird. That's why I ended up just getting a table.
As just one guy, I have subscriptions/billing/licences for a ton of things: Adobe CC, Jetbrains, Sketch, AWS, GCP, DO, Deploybot, Dropbox, Arq, Shopify and others in addition to all the more "personal" stuff like Amazon Prime, Netflix, Hulu, Spotify, Pandora, Canary...

I get why this is aimed at SME teams, but even one-man-teams/freelancers would find this super handy. I got excited and signed up only to realize of the 11 apps available for integration, none were ones I used individually...
This has been my experience as well. I really wanted to like Atom, but then I tried VSC. It's an incredibly well done editor, and it doesn't feel nearly as laggy as the average Electron app.
> we already have Emacs/Vim, with their million of extensions

My experience is that Vim is hard to use when you start to add too many extensions. There are just too many shortcuts to remember, plugins may interact in unexpected ways, and things like contextual information don't look as nice as they could. It just feels very 'hacky' to try to use it as an IDE.

I prefer to use more recent editors (first Sublime, but I'm sold to VSCode now) that are better suited to modern display and usages. I still use vim mode but I'm not even sure I'm really more productive with it. Sometimes I wonder if I shouldn't focus on just using mac os default binding.
Good scientists have a well tuned sense of how much to doubt and believe various ideas. Some things can be determined to be true to high confidence and are most certainly true. Physicists try to get five or six sigma. For the LIGO black hole merger detection you get a statement like, "The signal was observed with a matched-filter signal-to-noise ratio of 24 and a false alarm rate estimated to be less than 1 event per 203 000 years, equivalent to a significance greater than 5.1σ." And then the physicists fight/debate over how good this estimate of uncertainty is.

Technology is created based on using facts discovered by physicists - layer, upon layer, upon layer of very precise and constant use of fundamental ideas of physics. If unexpected things keep happening, it gets investigated and sometimes "new physics" is discovered.

On the other extreme (of what some call science) there is the social sciences and psychology. A study with a p=0.05 (95%) claim to being true. Lots of problems with p-hacking and replication. Scientific experiments are either unethical or impossible.

Here is a cute cartoon about the spectrum (https://www.xkcd.com/435/), although I would title it, "Fields arranged by certainty of truth". I work in geology research where the certainty of truth of the ideas/theories we promote vary across the whole range. This can be quite fun, but one needs a very well developed sense of how true the ideas you hold are to make progress.

The subtleties on the probability of an idea being true and over which domain it applies to is why people consult "experts". Hard to choose an expert when you are not an expert.
They're "Working with the Qi standards body" to improve it.
Guess, With Face ID, Apple making Fbi or any govt authority's 'Hey can you open this iPhone' case much much harder.

Like iPad replaced a log of information display in Public places like airports, Face ID could one day become our entry pass in many places.

But in the age of Trump, what if Equifax fate to apple?
That was what I assumed it was, I was a little disappointed on signing in! Would be great to have for Netflix + Google Music + etc.
> They probably call 911 in the US, and the dispatcher is deciding who to send. Is there something that suggests otherwise?

Ah, that explains it. In Germany, it's split - 110 calls the cops, and 112 medical/fire services.

> And, sadly, jail is often the only existing place to send them if you can't have them in your house.

It's a short-term fix, unfortunately. People suffering from addiction issues should not be in jail, they should be in a medical facility or whatever, as long as it does not appear on background checks.
Unlike lots of the posters here, I see a real need for an IDE that's completely free. I have used Eclipse and IntelliJ, and the bloat/bug/setup process in them is incredibly painful. However, I don't know if we're just going to add those problems into atom instead of what makes atom awesome - easy package management, fast text editing - and remove it.

Does the iPhone X Super Retina Display lack the 120hz refresh rate of the iPad Pro ProMotion Display? I hoped that 120hz would be the future because I really enjoy it and feel that animations on my iPhone 6 feel a bit jerky.
I was curious about this, since it sort of impacts my wourld, and decided to check this. There's a RES_ROTATE flag in there, described as "Causes round-robin selection of name servers from among those listed.

I think he means there are alternative Cryptos which have block chains and may succeed in bitcoin's place.
I never hold my phone with my thumb on the top... I have it cupped into my palm and if I really need to "hold" it I grasp the sides. Why is your thumb on the front?
One in a million, when the system ensures you only get 5 attempts (or whatever the true number ends up being), seems plenty for me.

I'm already comfortable using Touch ID and that number is much lower.
Biases in the bias literature? How delicious.
It's Apple's way of transitioning to a higher price point on their phones. Now they have the iPhone X at $1000 but oh, there's still have this iPhone 8 at the lower price point... I'm betting next year there is no more lower price point and the new standard is $1000 phones.
+1, VSCode feels way more polished.
4K benefits will be lost without Dolby Vision or DCI-P3 TVs.

People notice color more than resolution, and right now there aren't enough people that own high color-space TVs. They instead have crappy 4k TV and that's going to limit the market, with people thinking that's going to be good enough.
Please don't buy it. It is not a phone for you.
I've accepted that the headphone jack is never coming back no matter how much I'd like it to. I still can't accept that a company that is so focused on design has accepted the ever-growing camera protrusion in order to make the phone "thinner".

My 6s has a scuffed camera ring, and rattles when used on a table, due to its inability to lay flat.
Even prior to the leak it seemed (to me) like it would be hard to improve on the 6s/7, and the keynote confirmed it.

From wireless charging to FaceID it just feels like a bunch of incremental, gimmick-y changes.
Of course it's easy. But it's a severe threat model. Targeted physical attacks aren't really on the list of concerns for most people. And if you are worried about it, you shouldn't be using touch or voice unlock either.
There should be no "when used correctly" - the question is whether it saves (net) lives or kills people when used normally as people tend to do for whatever reasons, no ifs or buts, just count the cases. Just as people violating laws by driving drunk still is a valid argument for more automation of driving, so people violating some guidelines by using automation incorrectly is a valid argument against it. If the automation can't handle the common misuse and still be safer on average, then it's not ready yet.
You are seriously misrepresenting what happened. The display phone was showing the “passcode is required to unlock” screen that iPhones show when they are cold-booted.
So...wait, wasn't one of the biggest selling points of the (awful) Touch Bar on the latest MBP that it could use Touch ID? And a few months later they are moving away from that entirely?
It's interesting that they are not retiring the 6s, which is now 3 generations behind. I am not the only one refusing to buy a smartphone which requires some dongle to listen to my music.
Maybe, just maybe, there's a bit more at stake than just your credit rating.
I really don't see the extra $300 justification between this and the regular iPhone 8. A slightly better screen and better camera with otherwise similar specs. Edge to edge and face scanning emojis are neat, but I just can't justify that kind of spend for it.

That, and I'm not all that jazzed about Face ID. Seems less secure than touch.
Same here the moment I tried VS code I never went back even abandoned my PyCharm IDE.
I am surprised that the Canadian English block is so large. Having lived in both places, there is a definite difference in accent between Western Canada and Southern Ontario.

Which real world usage? dnsmasq and Windows both follow the systemd behavior by default.
Bitcoin has segwit too. Litecoin's blockchain is smaller because it has fewer transactions on it.

One of Litecoin's claims to fame is that it has a smaller block confirmation time. It's not some technological break-through but just the tweaking of a constant with trade-offs. Adjusting the block time down means network latency and bandwidth are a bigger deal to miners and can increase the block orphan rate, possibly resulting in a small push toward miner centralization compared to a higher block time.

Though as the Lightning Network comes to Bitcoin (and Litecoin), users will be able to make transactions without waiting for block confirmations (while still getting the same guarantees against counterparty risk and doublespends), decreasing the benefit of shorter block times.
One in a million is the same as with a six digit passcode.

Lifting a working fingerprint and transferring it to a play-doh mold or a hi-res printer is a whole another beast.
Huge mistake, IMO. People really love touch id, and it would've essentially been 'free' had they just moved it to the back. I've been using Huawei's equivalent on the Nexus 6P for over a year now, and it works like a dream.
That's a pretty big point by itself. Lots of people with pre-7 phones looking for an upgrade that don't need or want all the X features.

Thanks for this tip! I like to check the certificate, so this will save me some clicks. I also don't know why it's not enabled by default.
1/2/3: No, it isn't that bad, but disable resolved and networkd, and coredumps, and prepare to hate journald with all your being because of how insanely mindbogglingly slow it is (owning a hard drive rather than an SSD is an unsupported configuration for journald). The init daemon is much better than init scripts; it isn't elegant, but it is at least declarative and efficient.
All languages I've encountered so far seem to be fine. As long as it doesn't require me to linearly read it, I can see things just fine. I haven't encountered one but I would imagine a language with tightly packed syntax would be difficult for me to read efficiently.
