I recently fired up WebStorm and found typing to be slower than atom for most files. I wouldn't open a large file in atom, sure, but it's been getting better in that regard and generally most of my code files are < 400 lines anyway.

I'm going to give it a serious investigation over the winter. I don't have the time to devote to it until then.
I know that a ton of people swear by the iPhone, and it will probably be a hit no matter what, but every new one that comes up all I can think of is how much good UX they sacrificed for the shake of having a better looking product.

One button without an always on back button was already a turnoff for me, but no button at all? at least android has swipe from the bottom.

FaceID instead of TouchId will remove a lot of use cases people got used to - no longer answering texts in meetings anyone?
The data is suspect at best and should require a third party evaluation. I'm speculating that the reason for that 40% safety improvement is more a result of the difference between where autopilot can and cannot be used. People with autopilot equipped Tesla vehicles get the option because they likely drive more highway miles where it can be used mile after mile. Those who don't, likely don't and may be in statistically more dangerous driving situations like short commutes over high speed roads. When I commuted to the office, I'd pull out of my 25 MPH subdivision road and immediately accelerate to 65-70 MPH onto the highway and proceed to drive two miles. There's no reason for autopilot in those conditions so I wouldn't purchase the package, but yet making a left-hand turn onto a five lane highway where cars are regularly traveling at high speed is one of the more dangerous things you can do while driving for which if I got hit in a side impact could easily be killed and because of the location on a highway, would be counted as a highway fatality.
Ehh... it's not the same as a username.

It's more like fingerprints are door locks. Any determined thief can get around it. But it protects you from people who aren't really all that determined. And for most people door locks are sufficient. But if you are a major crime lord, protecting something extremely valuable, or just really into security then door locks are not enough.
No Rogers yet, so this may get people switching to Bell (ugh) or Telus...

Not false. Police can ask for your password, and if you do not give it to them, you can be arrested pending a hearing with a judge. The judge can then compel you to give up the passcode (though they probably won't unless there's reasonable suspicion that you're hiding something - but again you're just banking on the judge's mood/feeling at that point), and if you don't, you can be held in prison until you do give it up.

The "questionable constitutionality" of it is irrelevant since in practice until there is a higher ruling on this, if you don't want to go to jail, you must give up your passcode.
Have you tried not using atom? Atom is and has been my IDE replacement for almost 3 years now. Things like this make my experience better.
"This is because while Google might be selective in their hiring practices, they aren’t +4 SD selective. This is because, given a normal distribution, we only expect 0.000032% of observations to have a score ≥ 4 SDs above the mean."

Maybe there is something I don't understand but 4 sigma is .006334% so > 4SD would be 0.003167%.

"This percentage equates to just 273 New Yorkers, 30 people from San Francisco, or just 11 thousand people in the entire United States, the 3rd most populous country on earth."

0.000032% of 320 million would be 102 people.
As a philosophy, Libertarianism concerns itself only with the extent of The State's intervention into human affairs. The question of whether or not The State should prevent you from employing force or fraud against another person is itself subject to debate and therefore cannot be what Libertarianism is about or necessarily be a "core idea." The core idea of Libertarianism is that everyone should just be left alone.
If you want to conjecture that there is an X factor for technology work that has a >1SD bias for men, you can do that (for a lot of reasons, I don't think you'll be able to do it persuasively), but you'll have unmoored your argument from the premise of the Google Memo, which is that these differences are well documented in the scientific literature and it's merely culture that prevents us from talking about them.
I don't think you're a troll.
>it recognized that people were buying tablets in lieu of PC's and thus invested heavily in making iPad's more user friendly.

Who was doing that? Before the iPad came out I saw tablets used in exactly one place, and it was a university research project on construction management and coordination between building trades.

Even after the iPad came out, the people using them as PC replacements were using them mostly for the same set of tasks like email and web browsing, and (flat iOS 7 redesign aside) the experience for those is basically the same as always.

EDIT - I suppose there have been major additions to iOS since then (like multitasking), but I'd argue it's less because they're threatened by users buying a Surface (or whatever crappy HP tablet existed at the time) instead of a Mac, and more because it's the obvious direction that iOS devices have been steadily improving in regardless of the competition. Apple's perfectly happy to eat the Mac's market with it if there are Mac users who can get by on better iPads.
Indeed; one of the things that struck me about iOS devices versus anything else nowadays is the discoverability that the home button provides. The device is sitting on the table, and there is a single button to press. With a home button, it's obvious what to do.

That said, maybe the X branding is akin to 'Pro' and is not intended for the less tech-savvy
I agree! I don't know how many times Ive seen a notification that caught my eye and before I could recognize what app it was from or what it pertained to I'd already auth'd and missed it.
The US is not the country that went to the moon. That was their grandparents. The US is their poor, obese, undereducated, and overconfident offspring.
> The iPhone was not a total revolution in phones the way you describe.

It was a revolution because it actually sold and was relevant to more than just a handful of high-end users. (I had phones with e-mail, web, and app capabilities prior to an iPhone, but those features were all just sideshows until the iPhone made them useful. The only use I can remember having for J2ME apps was to play Yahtzee on a Sanyo 4900.)
One's healthy debate is another man's trolling. It's so obvious recently in US online media.
I really just don't believe you can determine the truth content of an comment by how it is written, but maybe that's years of reading good sounding but factually inaccurate comments on HN and Reddit. There's an art to writing psuedo intellectual bullshit, and most people aren't capable of (or aren't as good as they believe they are) at judging complex issues outside of their domain.

Would just as soon not give armchair phd a platform. There's some research (don't feel like pulling it up - bullshit?) that talks about how the decline of valuing expertise has had some negative social consequences, but that's probably obvious.
I pretty much do the same with HN.
I think you two are thinking of different things, and missing an important point: Comments are only as good as the community that's writing them. YouTube comments are the kind of comments you don't want to read, HN comments are the kind you skip the article for.

Whether comments are valuable very much depends on the kind of people you have writing them, and I believe it's worth trying to maintain a good commenting community.
My only guess is that they assume people will be confused by 3-digit (or fewer) results. They could have coerced it to a string, though, which yields pretty good results:

(Math.floor(Math.random() * 10000) + 10000 + "").substr(1)
That doesn't really answer my question though. The problem is that Google is handing over data, not what method is being used to try and access that data.
Reminds me of the song "Disposition" by Tool.
> And to be clear, a court in the US cannot force you to give up your passcode. That passcode exists in your head, and yours alone. It is your property, and won’t be used to incriminate you or strong-arm access to your data unless you voluntarily give it up.

While technically true this is false in practice. While they can't force you to provide your passcode they can force you to unlock your phone. Francis Rawls has been in prison for two years now over refusing to decrypt a hard drive.[1] The same principle applies to phones. If a judge finds you in contempt-of-court they can imprison you indefinitely.

I looked at the page, but didn't read the definition of "perpetual fallback license". Thank you for the clarification.

It still seems bizarre that one standard case is that you pay for a subscription, presumably using version x, and then are pushed down to version x-1 if you didn't subscribe for at least a year under version x.
If they have liability, it is assumed as part of their supplier contract with Honda. Open source software does not have this, and nowhere does the author suggest that should be the case -- they _certainly_ do not suggest such an assumption be implied without a license, or forced to be in all OSS licenses, which would be the only way your complaint makes sense.
External DACs are inconvenient when I just walk around. Also the iPhone DACs are good enough when I am mobile. There is almost always noise around me anyway, even if the IEMs are good at isolation.

The reason to buy these expensive headphones is not only sound quality, but build quality. Before I bought better IEMs, normal / cheap in-ear headphones lasted like 3 to 6 months.
Mozilla -- the organization that fired its CEO because it disagreed with a political donation he made in California -- lacks credibility when it talks about building an "open society".
Why? I am not terribly upset if someone has my username, but I would be very concerned if they had reproducible biometrics of mine (fingerprints, facial, etc).
Apple is the worst about not following their own Human Interface Guidelines.
Reddit's Ad Changes Reduce Your ROI
I'm a long time Reddit advertiser. I've also written the top ranked post on Google for "Reddit Ads." Reddit liked the post so much that they feature on a case study on their site.

I used to be able to drive $10 CPAs from Reddit ads.

It was a simple process. You pick a subreddit that fits well w/ your product and run an ad in that subreddit. It would only appear in that subreddit.

For example, I run a jerky club, so I would advertise in the r/jerky subreddit and people would see my ad in r/jerky and sign up for a subscription. My ad would only appear in the r/jerky subreddit.

It was perfect contextual advertising. Redditors see relevant ads, Reddit gets ad revenue, and the advertiser gets ROI.

Now, Reddit has changed their system secretly so they can boost their ad revenue and reduce advertiser ROI. CPAs now cost me $100+ on their platform.

Here's what they've done.

Now when I tell Reddit that I want to run an ad in r/jerky, instead of ONLY running the ad in the r/jerky subreddit, they run the ad to any user who's ever visited r/jerky or subscribed to it. Of note, they don't tell the advertiser about this change anywhere on their new platform.

So now my jerky club ad can appear on the front page for ANY Reddit user who's ever visited r/ jerky or subscribed to the subreddit. The ad can appear any place on Reddit totally out of context.

This drastically reduces the ROI for the advertiser and it gives Reddit the ability to sell many more impressions.

Total deception on the part of Reddit.

Disappointed.

Maybe someone from Reddit can chime in on this because it's very frustrating.
Sorry for some reason I read "laptop". It's much harder to find a modern laptop with a serial port, and a desktop is not very easy to carry into a datacenter.
Overprescribing is undoubtedly a key part of the problem, but so is poverty. The opioid epidemic is having a vastly disproportionate effect on poor communities, in large part because poor people are vastly disproportionately likely to suffer from chronic pain.

Doctors didn't cause the crack epidemic in the 80s. We can't isolate any single factor, but must consider the problem in a holistic manner. Fixing the problem of overprescribing is a really important step, but the problems of poverty and addiction won't just disappear if we stop dishing out vicodin and oxcycontin.
Perhaps a stupid question, but what entity tests self-driving cars before they are admitted to the streets? Is this entity partially responsible?
The 5th amendment says you can refuse to incriminate yourself. It does not say you can lie.

Refusing to unlock your phone would be equivalent. Unlocking fake data would not.
It is OK with Reader View , it's not really the point though is it?
You might be right. At any rate it felt like an Atom issue, as I've not experienced lag like that on Bluefin, Geany, and other similar editors.
Haha yes. "Dave, could you send me this PDF real quick?"
Oh, I do say "raises the question", because I'm aware of this debate and I want to head off language pedantry. That doesn't mean I don't disagree with said pedantry.

I've literally never seen a usage of "begs the question" that couldn't be immediately disambiguated by context.
"And if you really want a random number, paste this into your browser’s JavaScript console..."

I would suggest rolling dice instead. The PIN that produced would be truly random.
You don't need to go to the comments sections of Washington Post to find trolling. There is plenty in the articles, particularly the opinion section. Of course they are mostly trolling Donald Trump lately so some people don't mind.
> Imagine doing that to a black person. “Dude whaaat you’re black!? I know this other black person! Do you know them? Let me go get them, you two can talk about being black”

First of all, white people in America do actually do this, and (I'd imagine) it's as annoying and awful as it sounds. Second of all, it's not a great idea for white people in America to compare their "suffering" to that of blacks. African-Americans were enslaved for centuries here, brutalized in every way you can think of, basically treated as total subhumans until roughly 50 years ago and sometimes they still are.

So, yes, it's very stupid that people think you know everyone else from Slovenia. But maybe there is a better way to frame that.
> So what happens if we instead say that Google recruits from the mere mortals with Techiness scores ≥ 2SD, which is still the top 5% of all people?

Does anyone have any idea of what the selectivity at google hiring is? How many people do they reject for each person they hire? Also using this number would have to roughly take into account that the distributions are supposed to be "over all people" whereas the hiring pool is self-selected. Simply by being able to get python to print "hello world" you're probably already in the top 15% of "all people".

I am also curious about modeling this where the median of population A is LOWER than population B but variance differences and selectivity pushes selection for population A higher. (to wit: I think, and the scientific evidence supports me, that men are generally dumber than women)

Wireless earbuds are yet another thing you have to remember to charge every night, easier to lose or break, expensive, and nonstandard. What's the point?
As an Android user I'm still kind of interested in this phone. One thing that bothers me on most phones is the camera sticking out the back. It ends up being the point of contact to every surface you sit it on and sometimes the camera glass breaks.
To program iPhone apps. AFAIK, Until the recent Xcode beta you couldn't push code wirelessly to your iPhone, and even now the feature in the Xcode beta is pretty slow. Also I enjoy charging my iPhone with my macs. For a company that takes pride in seamless connectivity within their ecosystem I find it surprising that you cannot buy an iPhone + MacBook Pro and connect them without adapters.
Has a market been made for people buying low-spec, modifying to be the same as high-spec, and selling for lower than retail high-spec price?
Similar, I skim the article and read the comments. In some cases, I just read the comments. Though, I don't do this on any direct media sites, like online newspapers.

At Slashdot, chances are that I haven't read the article. I go straight to the comments and read those.

Curiously, I can't do that as often here on HN. Here, the quality of article is often higher and the comments are usually more on-topic and, often, more specialized. I do end up reading many more threads than I comment in.

But, yes... I learn a lot more from the comments (frequently) than I ever do from the article. HN is particularly good at this, and it's one of the reasons I visit.
Objectively speaking, no other consumer tech company grooms and refines their products do much as Apple. (Only got my first iPhone last year after being so hackerish minded as to avoid ever using them... could not be happier)
In what health scenario do you need your HR to stay at a constant 150 so stringently?
I very much appreciate the OLED high contrast, wide colour display.

I have yet not watched the release and read the technical details but I am more than slightly concerned about “Your face becomes your password”, while it’s obviously optional so security conscious people by no means have to use it, I’m not confident that it’s a sensible idea to promote the widespread use of what is known not to be a secure, private piece of information that you can change or choose not to use.

However, in my opinion Apple is by far one of, it not the most security conscious large corporate manufacturer of hardware and software and generally tries to know as little about your personal data and promote encryption (FileVault, forced phone encryption etc) as much as possible while maintaining practical use for general public. So I am very interested to see what makes this so different from Samsung/Google’s failed and easily bypassed face unlocking they were very vocal about but ultimately was an embarrassing security and PR failure.
> And of course you can be refused a job based on your social media profile, or whatever comes up when people Google for your name.

I used to spend some time in some car enthusiast forum back in the early 2Ks and after a few years I lost interest, so I stopped visiting.
10 years later, I decided to visit again and noticed that many posts had been made in my name (thankfully, just with my nickname), with horrible things being written "by me". Of course I had no way of knowing that their servers had been hacked years ago, and no recourse.

I can only imagine if there was my real name used on a random server somewhere with some dirt written, uncovered by someone googling my name...

"If it's on the internet, it must be true" is a scary thought.
At a minimum, the study suggests that the fitness golden mean between inbreeding depression and outbreeding depression is actually much closer to the intraracial side of the spectrum than the interracial.
> So what happens if we instead say that Google recruits from the mere mortals with Techiness scores ≥ 2SD, which is still the top 5% of all people? That ratio drops to 1.5 to 1. Despite my enjoyment of Google’s products, I have a hard time believing they are even this selective

Being a software developer at all is ~2.5% of the US population (and even less internationally).

Moreover, if the variability hypothesis is true then the entire point is that 1SD for men will be larger in absolute terms than 1SD for women.
Well I am glad you cast it in terms of people understanding one another, because everyone understands the (scare quotes:) "wrong" version of "begs the question" perfectly.

Words mean things, but what they mean is a social phenomenon, not handed down from some authority.
They follow freedesktop.
Some people buy them used too...
I like where you're going with this, but here's a question for you... Who controls the streams that are available on a website? Is it the end user or the website owner?
I have experienced that as well, but I feel it can usually be remedied by doing a factory reset. I also typically never do in-place upgrades for Android updates. I will download the full OS images (or the RUU/whatever updater is required for that brand phone) and do a full reset and restore. I will say for some reason this seems to be less of a problem on Sony Xperias that I have owned versus LG, HTC, Motorola, and others. But I for sure know what you're talking about.
I hadn't heard that. Why would they?
Relevant xkcd - https://xkcd.com/1860/
Configuration.

An IDE comes with its own text editor. Any Emacs user will tell you it is much more powerful to have an IDE come with your editor.

The ability to have your editor configured exactly how you want it (keybindings, fonts, etc.), and consistently use that configuration for all of your text editing is definitely appealing.

The same goes for having all the plugins you use with your editor available when doing "IDE" things (debugging, etc.).

TL;DR It just all-around makes more sense to have IDE features built into an editor instead of the other way around.
Case 1 and 2 are covered with FaceID - you have to be actively looking at the phone, drugged/eyes closed/looking away/etc. won't cut it.
I'd like to add a feature to the FaceID, requiring the user to wink instead of looking with both eyes open, or have a customized facial gesture, which only the user knows.

It adds an extra layer of security. Not only that, you get to wink at your phone often as a sign of affection (LOL).

Instead of winks, one might choose to do other facial gestures such as stick their tongue out, do a duck-face, etc.
That's called finishing the game in expert mode and getting bored :)
In the past 6 months, I've seen all of that hardware disappear. Can't find a Starbucks offering the power mats in the tables anymore (and the circle dongles you would have to plug in).
Tvs historically have been criticized by filmmakers for cutting off part of the image.
Safe zones are only useful when using analog film cameras and movie projectors, not with digital video.
Of course, you will never place the face of an actor on the edge of the frame, but that doesn't mean that space is useless for the director or the cinematographer. Every filmmaker has a rectangular frame in mind when composing.

And even if you don't care about watching the film in the right conditions, isn't it annoying to know there's something you're missing behind that notch? It's like having somebody's head in front of you when you go to the movies.
Also, there are many films that have a 2.35 aspect ratio, which is wider than 19.5/9.

Sure most of the videos are not films and you wouldn't use a phone to watch films in the first place, but for that price I expect those little details that make the difference. I think Apple has lost that in the recent years.
I think the idea is that legally it is closer to a username.

A judge can allow the police to knock down your apartment door through a warrant. But they can't compel you to speak and incriminate yourself.

Much the same, they can force you to reveal your fingerprint, but cannot compel you to share a password.
