Err... Heroin was available before the current epidemic. It was easy to find. There were plenty of sellers and users.

It may be that you are not a user? However, it was there and easy to find. A user can spot another user, though I'm not sure why. They look just like normal people, to you. Most users aren't homeless and dirty. They have jobs and houses. They have cars and families.

Heroin has been here for a long, long time. The dealers were making money for as long as I've been alive.

interesting! In my California college town, greasy and greezy were both words that mean different things.

'Greasy' was burgers/fries/bike-chains, and 'greezy' was reserved for people like that 'uninvited back-rub guy'.
I'm really impressed with the tick-tock of Atom development. Their turnaround time on releases with major new features in each release is really something to see.

And, it's a pretty decent rebuttal to the questions folks raise about the decision to build on Electron in Javascript. The tradeoffs are big (memory, startup time, performance), but the benefits are maybe bigger (huge dev community, tremendous resources being thrown at the biggest problems in the form of work on the JavaScript engine and language, easy-ish entry for new developers, etc.). Even with all of its flaws, it's still a better experience enough of the time for enough of the people that it's become one of the most popular editors almost overnight.
For what it's worth, I really miss the gesture bar on the Palm Pre (and other Palm) phones.

It had a little button there too, but swapping the swipe up for this works fine imo. I think this is a great move forward, but will wait until I have to use it every day to decide.
Not at all. The software Talk [1] it installed on newsroom's infrastructure. We only provide the software the makes this all work.

Thanks, that has restored my faith a bit. There's not an Apple store here within 2 hours drive, so I kinda have to go on word of mouth for now.

VERT Threat Alert: September 2017 Patch Tuesday Analysis
Actually, the message ("Your passcode is required to enable Face ID") was identical to the message when too many failed Touch ID attempts are made, not when a phone is rebooted ("Touch ID requires your passcode when iPhone restarts").
Biometric data is not a username. Biometric data is also not a password.

Biometrics is biometrics. I like to think of it sitting between a continuum between "username" and "password".

I might like a setting to require both a Touch ID (or Face ID) and a passphrase to unlock my iPhone. However, Touch ID has flaked out enough times for me (not accepting my fingerprints) that I probably wouldn't like to risk it in practice.
It took me eight months before I spoke to the police about a friend's addiction problems, plus a child protection issue (dealer selling crack and living life as a single mum). Looking back on it now with all the excuses I made for them, not talking to the police was enabling the habit. I thought I would never have reason to report a friend to the police, I could not imagine not being in that situation. You have to go a long way before you go to the police and out of love for someone tell them everything you know in the vain hope that the situation can change. Prison is better than hell or death. We tried other 'rock bottoms' but there is an end to the road plus you do have a responsibility to do the right thing, if my friend died and then I thought of the eight months that I sat on the fence, how would I feel then?

Not going to the cops about class A drugs is enabling. As per the law it is that intent to supply that is the detail, people buying these things are on it, they aren't accepting a cup of coffee at a friends, they are buying it.

There is shock and horror seeing someone die of addiction and this also stymies one's efforts to go to the police about the situation.

Well, It's pretty much a commenting platform like Disqus, but with user privacy in mind, which seems a little strange to me, since it was conceived with (stopping) trolls and harrassment in mind. Point is, isn't identifying such individuals a way to explore their online data? I might be jumping to conclusions, but it is one of those topics that stink more whenever you mess with it.

Here's a slightly off-topic dream about online comments:

In an ideal comment system I believe that articles, comments and moderation events should come from three different, decentralized streams (like Atom) that the end user can subscribe to individually and that are joined at the end users client. That would would provide transparency to the moderation process, ability to comment anywhere, and it would allow moderators to become effective spam-filters without giving them the power of censorship. Now, imagine if this system was built into the browser and it became the default commenting platform for all websites...
As usual it's even worse in europe. In germany it's 1149EUR for the 64gb model, 1319 for the 256gb one (all including taxes). The latter one is pretty close to what I paid for my 256gb macbook pro 13" 2 years ago (the newer pros are however also more expensive).

i'm more and more becoming convinced that the systemd ecosystem should be considered a regression.
Also, AND THIS MAY BE CONTROVERSIAL, but I don't need to take a selfie. Its cool, I'm fine. No one needs to see what I look like with my seat belt on.

I get that there is the FaceID, etc in there, but if they could reduce the size and focus on things that are necessary instead of narcissistic that'd be the bees knees.
Though I agree that it isn't so terrible for most users, your point doesn't follow; to my understanding, systemd was adopted because it made life easier for distro maintainers, not the users.
The biggest problem is WaPo. And I'd say being a frequent read of WaPo isn't anything to be proud of either. In my estimation, WaPo is one of the most evil news institutions in the country and certainly the most powerful and the most involved in censoring/manipulating social media.

The advantage of our technical solution Talk [1] is that we provide a flexible plugin layer. The benefit is that tools like the Perspective API [2] that provide machine learning tools to augment the experience. So really, we're providing a framework for newsrooms to attach more sophisticated tooling to solve the issue from both a technological perspective and a social one.

Also, the US does more drugs, per capita, than the rest of the planet - unless those numbers have changed recently. It's probably a cultural thing, in some regards. We love our drugs.

A) No we aren't. Unjust laws should be fought. I realize that this is easier said than done, but it's still true.

B) They could organize it so that even when the law comes asking, they can't comply, but they don't.

What matters is that they are acting insecurely, and providing data that they shouldn't be storing/providing in the first place. The law is irrelevant here.

No, this is an argument about being skeptical about climate change effects, which is good. There are a lot of people weaponizing climate change to affect their careers in a positive way by jumping on the bandwagon.

(And yes, it is my opinion that climate change is absolutely happening. Does not mean that we can't be skeptical of the effect sizes cited.)

Cool. I'll give it another go when I have some time to play. But honestly, most of the stuff I didn't like about Atom is resolved lately. It's fast enough, small enough (for my 16GB laptop), and reliable. And, has a gazillion features, most of which I never use.
Not sure why you're being downvoted.
It's OK Apple just obsoleted that use case by requiring your face to be in the camera's recognition zone. No more unlocking it while it's on a table!
The notch is really not that good UX. All that elaborations and tricks to show it or hide, to fit in there notifications. If you go bezel-less, one of the best options now is Xiaomi Mi Mix 2. There are already reviews on YouTube. I'd say it is the best configuration yet for that type of a phone. Also, it's worth to consider that it is already the second iteration after the first Mi Mix.

I agree; I use intellij for the consistent experience across languages.

It looks like Apple's implementation diverges substantially from other vendors, and is likely not based on the same stack at all.

Perhaps you could write up the process you followed, in the form of blog post or something, so that you can pass on the knowledge. I, for one, would love a guided tour through those implementations to see which parts are worth studying to understand how an established Lisp is built.
That's not true, it strongly affects the ability to separate privileges and apply sandboxing. For example, compare Apple's Seatbelt, which was a comparatively light lift to the intrusiveness of SELinux or restricted token sandboxing on Windows.
If you use Safari to view a web page in landscape mode, is the majority of the left edge of the page just chopped off?

Or did they make an exception for that, since most webpages are not specially designed for each and every device that Apple makes?

This is a weird UI problem and I'm looking forward to seeing how Apple addresses it in each of the built-in apps.
Thanks! I'll definitely have a look at these.
I wondered the same thing, but this guarantees not starting with a 0, which I could imagine breaking some people's idea of what a passcode should look like.
Or two sinking ships.
Question regarding these new guestures: Are these a iPhone X only thing or they now supported on all IOS11 devices? I think from a hardware point of view it should be possible to let iphone 6/7/8 users to chose whether they now want to use the button or the guestures for this functionality.
That's funny. I tend to skip the article and go into the comments.

Comments tell me "what's wrong with the article", and in doing so, give you a good picture of what the article is about.

As for the "what's wrong" part itself: generally speaking, you can really tell by how the comment is written whether it's legit or not. That way, you kinda get two sides of the coin, and you can decide for yourself what's going on.

This is a life saver for those who spend time outdoors and can't or don't like to carry phones. I run for example for hours in the Canadian winter and the idea of having an emergency phone is attractive, in case I fall, or maybe there's a big issue at home.

Another alternative would be an iPhone SE but sadly we are in the era of oversized phones.

I would also love it to have more Bluetooth integration (continuous glucose monitoring is a good first step), and continuously monitor more health data in general: hydration, temperature. Omron is working on a watch that measures blood pressure. The last step is food intake monitoring but I guess we will need a couple more iterations and more sensors (onboard camera?) to get the Watch record that

Mozilla Talk could be useful if it let me apply my own moderation schema (filters, blocklists, etc). It looks like another totally centralized moderation tool:

I imagine most developers won't want to design a tweaked layout specifically for the iPhone X. As a compromise, developers will probably just avoid putting important UI elements near the horizontal edges, similar to what console developers used to do to accommodate older TVs [1].

I know the distro I use Arch, seemed to spend the time to weight the technical/practical costs/benefits and didn't just "fall in line".

https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=1149530#p1149530

And in my personal experience, using systemd has been much less of a nightmare than the old ways. Especially when it comes to cross-distro compatibilites.

edit: here is some even more justification for debian, https://wiki.debian.org/Debate/initsystem/systemd

I think it's rude to assume that people who run these distros didn't think about the technical aspects.
> It's going to force more people to go Android first with their software development.

I don't understand this comment. What do "all its curves", as you say, have to do with iOS developers suddenly preferring Android? The iOS App Store has approximately a 7x revenue potential vs. Android's store, why would a developer abandon that just because of a new phone's form factor? There have been many new form factors in iOS devices over the last years, and that hasn't swayed anyone.
If I already had a working privilege escalation strategy, wouldn't I just be able to run that from a terminal emulator program on the phone? Or using an adb shell? My problem is exactly that there is no privilege escalation vulnerability in my version of the OS (that I know of)
> By your reasoning, if I was to put a camera in a tumble-dryer and let it snap photos while spinning, those photos would not be mine because whilst I set up the circumstances, the actual photos were not specifically composed by me.

I don't have a problem with that consequence. Copyright is supposed to reward creativity. I don't consider "photo made by putting camera into a tumble dryer" creative in any meaningful sense. I understand that a lot of modern performance art would probably be excluded with this approach - but I don't see it as a problem, either.
> The StarTac in 1996 was able to realize this: a quite different design from the DynaTac brick and its candy bar descendents.

Having used both, the StarTac was pretty clearly an evolution of the DynaTac, in particular as far as the functionality goes. (But I tend to discount the significance of the flip phone physical design as any kind of major step forward. Which is borne out by the fact that it's so uncommon these days.)
From RFC 1034:

"The strategy is to cycle around all of the addresses for all of the servers with a timeout between each transmission."

Note that it does not specify an order -- the resolver determines that, and RFC 1035 even recommends keeping a weighted list of nameservers prioritized by response time:

"To complete initialization of SLIST, the resolver attaches whatever history information it has to the each address in SLIST. This will usually consist of some sort of weighted averages for the response time of the address, and the batting average of the address (i.e., how often the address responded at all to the request)."

...which is exactly what systemd is doing. The glibc behavior is a naive simplest-implementation approach, and if your infrastructure depends on an implementation detail of a specific libc resolver, you should install proper configurable resolvers and use those instead.

The fact that all nameservers are expected to return identical results is inherent in the design of DNS. It's one namespace, and if you need to split it, the client resolver is the wrong place to do that too.
Only if you are an embryo.

I'd suggest that the article gives enough clues about why this Mozilla Talk solution is as beneficial to news sites as it is for their readers, but you have to consider who they're competing against.

Its not caps whine which one of my US Mil spec Dell laptops emits along with "static" you can pick up on a FM receiver when scrolling up and down in a web browser or changing the programs being displayed on screen. Being familiar with high end audio I'm aware of amp hiss coming out of speakers when you turn the volume up when its not playing from a source, good amp's emit very little hiss, poor amps emit alot of hiss.

These are distinct repetitive tones playing over a loop, the recording I have here will convince anyone its not some random background noise or magnetic flux leaking from the power supply across the amp channels.
A fast static site? Have we traveled back to 1997.
The principles and rationale underlying copyright were not superseded. The only things that changed are various technical details, like copyright terms, and applicability across borders.
That's why I use both types of authentication / identification, and having more than 1 option is a good thing.

When in a situation where there are higher risk, such as going through certain airports or borders, or in a situation where confiscation of phones are high, just disable biometric authentication temporarily and use pin/password.

But in normal situation, where risks are low, re-enable the biometrics, for convenience. I like the ease and convenience of using phone this way when I'm at home or at work.

Op completely misses how insecure a four digit pin is for prying eyes. If I work in the same office as you, or share any space with you at all, I can pretty much guarantee I can easily sneak a glimpse at your pin when you enter it.
No, Linux is qualitatively worse off since it keeps bug-dense code in areas of high privilege with few mitigating controls.

Yes, there will be bugs but refusing to properly address that ahead of time by separating and lowering privileges, applying sandboxes, and proactively auditing external attack surface is why Android is worse than iOS for security.
Yes, DB just went down. We've implemented a failover, to hopefully avoid this in the future.

This made me curious, so I picked up my iPhone 7 Plus and tried it. Of course I got the control center because it's not an X, but it feels completely natural. I'll be perfectly happy when that gesture replaces the home button.

In fact, this actually improves the lock screen quite a bit now - no more accidentally missing my notifications because the home button that woke up my phone also unlocked it and took me away from the screen.
I think to have good comments, you need to build a good community. I sometimes see the same article shared across HN, Reddit and Facebook. Some sites have better comments than others..
What percent of ios users never create a passcode / pin ? I'm just thinking that if face id is defaulted on it would be better than the crowd that never create a pin. I agree it is better to have a pin enabled than faceid and even better both.
