And before you all go out taking the possibility of scepticism as an actual motivation to be sceptical, remember that conclusions do not need to be proven beyond all doubt to be reasonably believed.
There's long term dynamics: just as people first prefered a small phone over a large tablet, and now buy near-tablet sized phones (iPhone X is 5.8") that better match their usage today... watches may well grow in size and features (camera) in the future.

Fitness-specific devices (e.g. fitbit) seem more popular than the general-purpose apple watch... at least, so far.

BTW non-screen control (eg voice control, buttons on headphones) seem logical for watches, but apple experimented with this already with the iPod shuffle, but removed it in the next version.

Don't assume that your own preferences apply to everyone.

I worked remotely for a few years, with my own dedicated room/office in my home, and am much happier now that I moved back to our company office even though it has an open-floor plan. I enjoy face-to-face contact with my coworkers, and the light level of noise really doesn't distract me from my work—if anything, the surrounding activity motivates me.

We don't all thrive in the same environments. The best you can do is find out what environment is best for you and then work for companies (or start your own) that provide this environment.

Edit: since you're also mentioning health and commuting, I bike 30-45 mins each way with most of it on a shoreline trail. It's a net positive for my health since I know I wouldn't exercise as much otherwise. If I had to commute 1 hour or more by car, then I would likely agree with you—I completely despise long car commutes and would rather work from home at this point.

It's worse. In college I could work in the lab with partners when we needed to collaborate but then work from "home" when I really needed focus. And I got to choose when I went to each.

I had a place like this once, close to the room entrance with the door to my left. It wasn't a cubicle but room for 4-5 people; I was just the last one to start working there and couldn't pick another desk. It was generally quiet and, with headphones, I could've easily gotten into the zone... if not for the people walking down the hallway (the door was left open most of the time).

Every time I saw a glimpse of someone in the hallway I, reflexively and involuntarily, turned my head to see who's there. I think it would be easier to get used to and ignore if the door was behind me - but seeing someone from the corner of my eye induced a response, every single time.

We all know how little things may turn into productivity killers. After a while, I thought that maybe it's not pattern-matching faces that is so distracting (our brains are supposedly well equipped for this), maybe it's just the motion needed to turn my head away from my monitor?

I found a small mirror somewhere, pretty similar to this one: https://www.walmart.com/ip/Goody-Start-Style-Finish-Two-Side..., and set it up on my desk, just next to the monitor, in a way that allowed me to see the door and a good chunk of the hallway.

It may be hard to believe, but it did solve the problem for me. A sub-second glance at the mirror was enough to register who's coming, after a couple of days I was doing it reflexively without even thinking about it, like when driving a car. Later, when I changed seats, I actually missed my mirror and the ability to effortlessly scan my surroundings.

Well, it could have been a placebo effect, and my co-workers (the ones from other rooms, ie. the ones I was "spying on") didn't like it that much, but it may worth a try if one's getting desperate :)
If someone had not heard of that one before, it should not be confused with a Heisenbug, which is approximately the opposite thing.

The morning after the Pakistan scandal hit the news, I woke up with a lot of traffic to my blog post from June 2006 that covered the new "C" fonts from Microsoft from the Vista and Office betas: https://neosmart.net/blog/2006/a-comprehensive-look-at-the-n...

As the article says, Calibri wasn't _commercially_ available until November, but people found out I had access to it and that I had posted screenshots of text typed in that font dating a full 5 months before the commercial release (and before the forgery in question).

I'm not really pro or anti Apple, but I'm having a tough time coming up with what you might mean by this. Can you elaborate?
Well, you don't have to defend Thoreau, just his writings.

Which I would appreciate, BTW—I loved walden pond as a kid, but now it reads like a friend's #minimalism #tinyhouse medium blog. Civil disobedience was obsoleted by people with causes saying everything better. Where is the value in his text in contemporary society outside of nostalgia?
After reading the article the only question I have is, "So what?"
At my current job, out of circumstance of the stuff I'm doing, I started going straight to the lab without stopping by my desk. On average, there will be 1-3 people in the lab including myself. At my desk? It's an open-office styled lab-converted loading area where one "wall" is a floor-to-ceiling roller door; loud rattling on windy days is only one perk.

The lab is much nicer. Smaller, fewer people, generally quiet, a door, controlled environment [lights, temperature].
Messaging (short text or voice), music/podcasts, health/fitness, ambient notifications, on-wrist remote control.
Yes, and this is by design. However the controlling logic will probably have to be customized for each additional game.

Euro Truck Simulator was chosen because it runs on Windows/OS X/Linux, and because the game consists mainly of highway roads, which is an easier target than urban environments.

Also I just really like the game itself.
This is a weird comment to make now. When Apple Watch was first released, maybe. But now? It's already more popular than all other smart watches combined, and it's apparently the best-selling watch in the world period. Not entirely sure if that's by revenue or units, but regardless, it seems pretty clear that your assumption is wrong.
The turn of phrase is something you can attribute to him, if you want. He's done great things, but he's not really the beginning. I was addressing that part of the statement.
It's really not bad at all. I'm not overly prone to distractions. Most of the time no one is talking (we're all engineers on the same team after all; it's not like we have salespeople on calls throughout the day). It's naturally pretty quiet most of the time, and I almost never feel the need to put on headphones to escape from the conversations that do occur, as they're all related to the team's work and thus something that might be useful to overhear.
Apple still requires you to have an iPhone, which reduces the appeal of the cellular-equipped Series 3 watch. It's a disappointment.

The idea that suicide is selfish and cowardly is a helpful one for people who take too much responsibility onto themselves after a loved one's suicide. It's meant to balance out the perspective of people who can only see their own failure to help. It doesn't make much sense outside that context.
My argument is not that Apple is looking to lose their fat margins, my argument is that they're looking to extend those margins.

The iPhone X almost certainly higher margin than the iPhone. My argument was that if consumers tolerate the $1000 price this time, they shouldn't be surprised to see future high end phones at similar prices.

I'm one of the outliers who likes open floor plans, BUT at densities much lower than what makes economical sense. 1 person per thousand square feet would be my minimum and I'd really like half again as much space.

Problem is the economics of it. Open floor plans I see on blogs are often side by side working stations with less than 200sqft per worker. That's not really open floor plan in my mind, just removing the walls to recoup a couple of inches to cram more people in.
I honestly love that these libraries keep getting smaller and faster. People have really started to hate these newer libraries, but as long as they are getting better, I'm fine with experimenting with them.

Vue even has a lighter alternative called Moon[1], which was on HN a while back. I'm curious as well about the performance of HyperApp. Looking at the JS frameworks benchmark[2], it's not the best, but not the worst either (pretty good for squeezing it all into 1kb).

It might if you implement a new system for how autoplay is decided. Not every browser avoids autoplaying YouTube in background tabs.
Yes, it's popular. I'm only responding to the claim that the Apple Watch is "The Future", i.e. as ubiquitous as the smartphone. I just can't picture the majority of any population wearing a watch with the exact same body. That's not how fashion works!

If smart watches are successful, it's far more likely that we'll eventually see a 20-80 Apple/Android split like we do today.
You aren't allowed to go into space if you've had laser eye surgery, as there's too much risk of retinal detachment and other unpleasantness in low pressure atmospheres. Hell, you can have issues climbing really tall mountains if you've had Lasik.

I started using HyperApp in my company's admin dashboard to render a complex diagram.

In my experience over the past few months, HyperApp works very well, the documentation is solid, the performance is great, and we've encountered no bugs so far.

If I had to do it over again, I would choose HyperApp again. Great work, folks.
There was a copper mine in Arizona I went and toured about 5-7 years ago. The trucks were `diesel-over-electric` hybrids, but not fully electric. The shovel at the bottom of the pit was fully electric, with 4160volt 3-phase power lines delivering hundreds of amps. I believe the electricity was running a massive hydraulic pump on the shovel, making it also an interesting hybrid.
If you subscribe to extro/intro vertedness, I am squarely an extrovert, have great time at random party, will literally walk up and talk to anyone. And feel exactly as you do. When I need to concentrate, it requires solitude.
I think they're implying that if you want to test to effects of microgravity, you don't want something like 14 psi of air pressure happening at the same time, because interactions with the air flows might confound whatever you're trying to test.

The station is likely better in terms of gravity, but in terms of test conditions, you're somewhat limited by the astronauts being there.
Pixar is "open" only in the sense of having a central atrium and common areas to encourage chance encounters and interaction. The rest of the building where work is done is nooks and crannies, studios and offices.

Creative people doing the grunt work of raw design and animation will need and want isolation from distraction just like programmers do.
[PYTHON] Command line utility for automating subtitle downloading
A command line utility that allows you to download subtitles for your media files i.e., Anime, TV-Series and Movies. It's written in python, fast and extremely light-weight. It's time-consuming to open a browser, search subtitles for a movie and then download them. Subgrab is a utility that allows you to automate this process and save time. Allows you to download subtitles for a custom movie, movies contained in a directory, specify language in which the subtitles should be downloaded and specify number of subtitles to be downloaded for a file. It's open-source and can be found at:-

https://github.com/RafayGhafoor/Subscene-Subtitle-Grabber

Currently supports subtitles downloading from two sites which are subscene and allSubDB.

Suggestions/Critiques and contributions are welcome :).
I used to need to use a large web app like that at work. You'd get a login page. Submitting your login caused the app to load, which was many MB. Once that was all downloaded, the page would finally display, and you could do what you needed to. (In our case, you usually only needed to look something up quickly and be done, which is a bit different than your case.)
But the real kicker is... the company VPN was slow. Really slow. In fact, most of the time, as soon as the app finally loaded, the first thing it did was pop up a dialog telling you your session had expired due to inactivity and send you back to the login page to start over from scratch.

I sure missed the simple, small, usable, multi page site we used before the "upgrade" to the single page app competitor! (On top of that, the old one worked fine on mobile. The new one, not at all.)
For whatever reason, things in my field of vision don't distract me nearly as much. So long as they're in front of me and I can see them with my peripheral vision, it's all good. Also, my monitor is big enough that when I'm looking at it I'm not seeing too much else anyway.

How do you end up staring at another person? My monitor would completely block the view of anyone else if they happened to be sitting across from me. Are you using laptops only?

2-3 years is extremely short. 5-10 years is much more plausible. Even then, it's tough; Yahoo and IRC has been disrupted like a decade ago and it still lives on.

What I would do is the Snap or Telegram route. FB's weak link is that everything is too public. People can see things like who has read your message, what groups you like, who you are in an argument with. A medium that is less intrusive and lets you build more tight knit communities will be much more popular.

Another problem of Facebook is that it no longer consists of real world friends. It's about acquaintances, not friends. A social media that is more about real friends can do better.

I would actually attack it from the angle of some kind of community - gaming, certain hobbies, sports groups. Make something with similar features to Slack, Telegram, or Discord, but more suited between friends.

A good hint that it's on the right track is that it should initially be a little repulsive to people who use "acquaintance" or "personal branding" kind of social media, like Twitter, Linked In, Instagram.
There can be benefits to running multiple projects in parallel. For example, there are at least two competing reactor designs (tokamak and stellarator) where we (IIRC) still don't know which one is more promising. ITER is a tokamak, whereas Germany (which also participates in ITER) has a research stellarator in Greifswald, the Wendelstein 7-X.

> Apple still requires you to have an iPhone, which reduces the appeal of the cellular-equipped Series 3 watch. It's a disappointment.

To people who don't have an iPhone, yes, it's a disappointment.

Given iPhone sales numbers, though, I don't think that market is Apple's primary concern. Non-iPhone owners are usually said to be more price-conscious (preferring cheaper/better/whatever Android phones), and those owners have always had choices for alternative watches that are cheaper/better/whatever than the Apple Watch.

Apple's flexing their market muscle here by forcing cell phone vendors to sell cheap plans that share the same phone number between the iPhone and the Watch, which makes it pretty exciting for those of us in the US with expensive plans. It's easier for me to justify $10/mo for my Watch to have connectivity with exactly the same phone number as my iPhone back at home.
LTE Andoid has a separate phone number doesn't it? One of the big wins for the Apple system is it uses the same number as your phone

In terms of capturing the screen input for training, the fps is capped at 10 fps. This is following the number suggested in NVIDIA's paper[1], which cautions against overfitting. The program captures faster when the steering angle gets larger, because it suggests that curvy road is ahead, which are the more challenging scenarios for the program.

In terms of testing, the max fps is determined by the performance of the GPU and the complexity of the model. I couldn't find any definitive studies done on the matter, but anywhere from 10-30 fps seems to work OK.

> I think that more and more CISOs are becoming comfortable with the cloud and companies are insisting that CISOs become comfortable. So I always say that given enough time, we can secure anything and find a way to say yes to it and business-driven CISOs are of that mind.

> If a CISO can come up with a list of controls that he/she is comfortable with, then by and large the evidence proves that those controls are working effectively and are going to satisfy the elements of any framework that you use.

These are two soundbites from an interview with Susan Mauldin from over a year ago. Someone didn't want us to hear them, according to the timeline[1] of when someone remembered and reported that these interviews happened on September 9, and how soon after (on September 10) they were taken down (and then late last night, at least partially recovered again, further on down in this very HN thread!)

They are not even especially damning soundbites if you put them out of context and honestly evaluate them in a vacuum, but it does put some additional context on "it was due to third party code" and in the context of this whole discussion, it is clear why someone did not want us to see this interview.

If the job of the CISO is to deliver the project under budget and on time, rather than to do the job correctly as you and I understand it, then we are certainly more likely to find ourselves in this position. So let's keep having these discussions and make it better! It is absolutely your codebase and my codebase, we are all in this kind of trouble (or, we could be... if we all similarly had 140 million involuntary "customers" entrusting us with their SSNs and credit histories.)

You know how cell phones have lots of different cases? The body is the same, but people just wrap it in different "fashionable" cases?

I love how OP is dismissing the grand claim in the title only to immediately go on to make another, equally silly one.

Garmin is selling more of their watches than ever before. This has the same useless HR, no external sensors and battery won't last through a marathon. It's an expensive gadget for people who like to think they are exercising by doing 10 repeats of 5 kg weights and 5 minutes of social media in between.
Well, media has the ability to make or break a company. This seems like the other side of the coin. Is a company obligated to try what it can to keep a good image or side with moral values? I don't see a clear answer here.

Thanks for your response, I totally buy the argument of stateful components (believe me I have seen worst of the worst bugs due to these issues), and bringing down time to learn concept. But 300LOC, Woah! you got my attention! I think the thing that derived React was ecosystem around it (which I think FB is going to loose pretty soon), and most libraries including DIO.js (excluding Vue.js) don't have much of it.

For the comparison example you did, don't post it anywhere officially :P because I can use babel with jsx preset (I am sure hyperapp is using too) and then do the stylish lambdas to make code look cleaner. That would be a fair comparison.
