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.

Though, for developers, it's definitely a viable option since most modern development tools (at least for the web and Android, not so much for Windows, Mac, or iOS) are cross-platform. But it's a much harder sell to someone doing, say, financial analysis or data modeling, where they absolutely must use Excel or SPSS.

I've seen lots of modern companies where developers have a mix of platforms, but it tends to become a monoculture of either Win or Mac when you get into front (biz dev, marketing, etc.) or back office (AP, AR, finance, HR, etc.) functions.

Yes, and that's why sites/books like Cracking the Coding Interview exist. While I don't deny that they have some merit, they don't cover the full picture of what is needed.

I've had a few people (beginners looking for a job) ask me for help on just those sorts of interview questions - and not being interested in spending time on learning the underlying fundamentals, though I had mentored them (on mentoring sites like Codementor) some on those areas earlier (at their request). Misguided, to say the least. Told them that that (just doing the interview prep) is not a good approach, because, even if they manage to clear/pass the interview, with or without my or others' help, they will likely get found out soon for their lack of fundamental knowledge, soon after getting a job.
>The Nobel prize-winner Robert Mundell believes that Gresham's Law could be more accurately rendered, taking care of the reverse, if it were expressed as, "Bad money drives out good if they exchange for the same price." [1]

Not attacking your main point, but questioning the correct application of this principle. It seems like it originally was meant to talk about the same resource (a coin made of metal, metal becoming higher price than the coin). It doesn't seem like Bitcoins are intrinsically made of dollars.

If a common thief needs to go through the trouble of buying a 3d printer, etc., then I don't think it's as big a deal.

Sure, when it comes to more organized crime or the government they'd be more capable. But at that point if you really want to protect your data then I don't think an iPhone is where you want to be putting that data in the first place..

Or I'm wrong.

What percentage of TVs in the wild, even among Apple buyers, were 4K at the time? What percentage of streamed content on 4K-supporting devices was 4K? Even a small price increase might have made it a bad idea for a product intended for the general (even the general potentially-Apple-buying) market.

Given the hostility and generally crappy attitude of the systemd's maintainers, this reads to me as "Reinventing the wheel and throwing out decades of knowledge because shiny is better".
Can't help wondering what the next model will be called given what a dead end "X" is.

After OS X they never went to 11. They codenamed the 10.N versions but it doesn't seem likely with a "iPhone X 10.2 mushroom badger"-type name.

Best guess: they'll just call it the iPhone next year. Like some other products they'll just use the model year to distinguish. Guessing we won't even see the "iPhone XS", it'll just be "iPhone (2018)".
Hold out your left hand and write "left" in the air using it as the L. After a few years of doing this (maybe two), this fixed the problem for me 99.99% of the time.
I think the original rumors said they were trying to make the cameras work beyond the glass/display but winded up not quite getting it to work, so they winded up with the notch this time.
It needs to be a thin one. Wireless charging usually requires the device to be within a couple millimeters.
It was interesting to see how Apple tried to market the fact that you have to look at the phone for FaceID to work. I see that as a hassle, not a feature.

> Both parties are equally part of the problem, and the people on both sides who fail to see that are also, including comments like yours.

Be careful not to cause useless agurments. Both sides are at fault, of course, and it should be obvious that one side is currently more extreme than the other, just like the post above said. Such partisanship is a failure of the two-party political system that amplifies an us-vs-them mentality that people naturally get when under stress.

> this is why I support the unparty movement

I assume the unparty movement is a movement to completely remove parties, which wouldn't work in my opinion. It ignores the human tendency to form groups, and makes negotiations difficult if you don't have at least some centralization of power or method of organization. A multiparty system is a better balance IMO because it maintains natural human hierarchies while easing the adaptation of the government to changing demographics with different needs.

> 1. Is it actually that bad for a desktop?

As a desktop user, systemd has been a godsend. Now everything works the same on every distro. No more checking the website of each distribution to know where to put stuff if you want them to run on boot.

I also migrated everything in my computers to systemd-networkd and systemd-resolved and systemd-timesyncd and it is just so fast and always work reliably (again, for a desktop usage).

journalctl is fantastic: now every single line of log has the same format that every other, and you can filter exactly which service outputted which log line at which time. VS the old way where you would always have that rebel service that logged stuff in whatever format that would always break the grep command you'd be trying to write.

I don't think the argument here is whether technology features can improve safety. The core of the argument is (and always has been) over misleading marketing and naming (suggestive "autopilot"), which exactly encourages the misuse of the feature. When used correctly, with alert driver it can clearly be beneficial. But when misused e.g. by this poor young person who plowed into a truck, this feature could be deadly.

This has a long way to go for true "autonomy" and until then such marketing should be avoided and examples of misuse (which youtube is full of) should be explicitly discouraged and if possible penalized. Tesla should be more explicit and pro-active about it. This is my only point really.
It is much easier to demand novelty rather than repeated validation since most academic-based research completely stops at trying to apply said research and found conclusions to a real thing. Because if they were to go and apply their findings to something in the real-world (a product, service, or some good that can be delivered and/or consumed) it would often quickly put their research to the flame, revealing either its flaws or its possible validity.
And again, Apple not including a gamepad by default or offering an official one.

Playing with the included remote is super limited so games have to be designed with that in mind.

Game devs won't risk making a game that needs a third party accessory, so Apple again killed all gaming potential for the Apple TV.
You're comparing editors like vim with IDEs. I'd say "modern" text editors such as Atom, VSCode or Sublime are between these two extremes. They provide a lot of "higher-level" features while being lightweight and programming-language neutral.

Most manufacturers have automatic braking. But they do not pretend it's "autopilot" nor let user to rely on it. It's just there to save their ass if shit hits the fan.

I was surprised by the difficulty I had finding restaurants offering kangaroo when I visited Melbourne a couple of years back.

These days, after the rise of dSLRs, post-processing is something that occurs after the image is saved to memory.

Raw sensor data to JPEG undergoes incamera processing. Cameras typically only allow small oversight of that process, so many photographers prefer to shoot RAW, and do 100% of the processing via post-processing.

Implementation size is hard to compare accurately across languages (bytes? lines of code? exclude comments? excluding leading spaces?). Also, the mal implementations were created by many different people so individual style plays a large role in concision/verbosity.

However, that being said, the following implementations are "smallish" (in both lines of code and bytes): mal itself (self-hosted), Clojure, factor, Perl 6, Ruby. The following are "largish": Awk, PL-pgSQL, C, PL-SQL, Chuck, Swift 2, Ada.

OCaml is in the "smallest" third of the implementations.
The RIAA curve was used to standardize the frequency response of vinyl records.

HDR post-processing is not being used to standardize the color subsampling accuracy of digital video files. It is being used to coerce pixels to following one particular subset of high-gamut color curvatures. It is NOT the same thing as 10bit color, nor as wide-gamut color spaces. It is a post-production trick used to make your eyes more enticed by the picture.

It is not about higher fidelity picture, it is about higher engagement viewers.
It depends on the characteristics of the case and how far it stands the phone off from the base.

For what it's worth, my last phone with Qi was a Blackberry Priv with an Otterbox Defender case, and it charged just fine. I'd be very surprised if Apple didn't make allowances for something that common.
Which is just what I said.

I downvoted paule89's comment because it felt like a cheap shot at an established product with well-known pros and cons.

Yes, Electron apps consume a bunch of RAM. Yes, Rust needs you to deal with data lifetimes. Yes, Go still doesn't have generics. Yes, Haskell has a steep learning curve if you learned imperative languages first.

No, restating those facts on HN at every opportunity is not constructive.
Why shill. It's just great tool. I love lots of what MS does. I still consider C# best language I ever learned.
I don't think it went far enough. Consider the circumstance where an office or agent wants your phone unlocked. Your passcode is protected, your thumbprint is currently in debate, but holding your phone to your face? If that just always unlocked your phone without any sort of interaction from you? That's an uncomfortable level of privacy loss.
> Can we not even trust people on HN to only speak to what they know about?

Not any more than we can trust the old curmudgeons to not beat their knowledge into others by force I guess.

This.

There are multiple scenarios where not looking directly at the phone comes handy. You mentioned the driver scenario, but there's more.

E.g before bed, I don't wanna look directly to my phone as it's annoyingly bright.

Or sometimes I want to use the phone while it's still in my pocket (for example, click Next Song ...).
Well they introduced completely new dedicated hardware components that I've never seen in a smartphone to enable this feature. For me "hack" doesn't do the feature justice.
Fundamentally there's always the same issue though. For the system to work in a trustless way, you need something bitcoin-like to be able to incentivise miners.

I know Amazon's intentions and their profit motive: to get me to buy things. This makes me okay with an Alexa in my home. Google is murkier, but I feel assuaged a bit because they have -- hands down -- the best 'knowledge engine' for a speaker.

Microsoft will never, ever have a live mic in my home. I have done everything I can find to neuter any background listening my Win10 PC can do.

Apple wins on the privacy front, but they have neither the broad knowledge available that Google does nor the 2 years of experience that Amazon does.
>I should explain what our coding exercise is. Its a decent size project on bitbucket that we ask developers to install. Yes, just install. No real coding required. Usually takes between 30 minutes to 8 hours. What we are looking for are specific things: a) Can you read and follow the installation instructions AND are you familiar with Git and NPM? b) If you face some installation issue, are you willing to spend the effort to solve it? c) Can you read code? Because sometimes a library wont work for you.

Interesting. I think that is one good approach. Because I've come across many people (aspiring to be software workers) who 1) cannot even follow clearly specified instructions to the letter (a basic skill for a software person), and/or 2) cannot figure out ways to deviate from those instructions in meaningful ways, if they do not work.
I think it can be assumed that the facial recognition is rate-limited, just like PIN entries. Even if you had a million phones and a million faces in your database, you could only try perhaps 30 faces on each phone.
I cringe reading "belief in well-supported scientific conclusions is not optional."

Belief is always optional, if you want people to believe you have to get them to opt-in to believing.

Kahneman is describing part of a larger framework for human beings to cope with their own flawed human thought processes. You're talking about the art of persuasion.

If "you want people to believe" the most effective way to accomplish that is generally to lie to them in a clever way. That's a whole other discussion.

I bet you the Apple cases don't.
For the log files, one miraculous thing you can do is `sudo journalctl -f -u httpd -u mariadb`, which watches the log for both of those services (and should output messages in the correct order). On a desktop, the way it's designed should make the system log viewer (if you need it) quite a bit faster and cleverer, since the stuff we used to do with grep or with extra tooling is just kind of built in to the format.
That's not at all what you said. What I replied to is where you literally said:
