Could it be that the syntax highlighter is splitting up < and * as separate tokens?
We all get his phone wasn't breached right?

Or does it need spelling out?
Yes, good. The new behaviour is better.

See? It cuts both ways, you can't make blanket statements like that - either way - when they're subjective to each user's own use case. I legitimately prefer this toggle, because I so rarely care about wifi being actually, fully off that I'll go to settings.app for that, and the benefit of being able to easily toggle disconnect but keep wifi on for location accuracy easily outweighs that.

I agree that a setting to toggle between both is better but I also default to more settings being better. However, I realise that that's often counter to the Apple Way because they try to strip away all the unnecessary* cruft to try to focus the user into a certain use case and so understand why Apple did it this way, even though it's not my preferred way.

* as in literally not necessary, i.e. nice to have, rather than 'unnecessary' aka 'not useful'
Do you know long the coffee cans are kept heated? I'm concerned that those cans have had hot coffee in them for days on end, which is generally not good for food (heat breaks down its nutrients and often produces free radical byproducts).

This decision is not anti-Apple at all, in fact it's Apple in a nutshell: We decide what's best for you, there should be no settings whatsoever to toggle any kind of preferred alternative option and we don't have to inform you what's going on because things obviously "just work".
But djrogers was saying that if I had WiFi on it'd save power because LTE would be off. Surely they only mean the data component?

I thought the basic mobile connection was active all the time (unless there was no signal). Are you saying if I turn WiFi on, and I receive an SMS (not through iMessage) or a phone call, it's actually coming through WiFi and the mobile connection is totally off? Surely not.
Can you tell me what is wrong with gmail? It seems to check all your boxes.
If the developer is reading: you probably shouldn’t tell your users to click banner ads, if I recall correctly that’s grounds for termination:

Reassuring (and a little surprising) to see the comments here mostly against relocating, which is my take too. Jobs in SV can turn out to suck in unanticipated ways veeery quickly. Regret over relationships is always greater than regret over jobs, in my experience.

I also believe that they actually know more than they are willing to quote in a paper. Likely Kaspersky was used to exfiltrate the data as well, but they aren't willing to say that. I don't have any evidence of this, but considering the closeness of Kaspersky to the govt, and the built in ability to directly upload files, it seems overkill to try to find a new exploit.
> I'm explicitly fine with their being an extra server in the mix; this is required for snoozing emails to work properly

Out of interest, why would this be so? On the face of it a single client can keep its own snoozing metadata and use a helper process to do the work. I suppose if you want to ensure snoozing works across clients, you'd need a slightly clumsy workaround for the metadata (eg. encoded somewhere in the snoozed mails in a special IMAP folder). But it looks doable from the perspective of a shallow moment's thought. Admittedly, pretty much everything generally does.
I wish the license was MIT. The author could then have simply made some sort of an open core model instead of resorting to this ID business.
I fail to see how dumping documentation for a cryptic feature at such an unfriendly URL counts as "informing".
You can still go into settings and turn it off for real. So whatever, makes sense to me. A lot of times the Wifi is bad so i want to disconnect, but I don’t care if the OS uses the wifi radio to talk to my apple watch or determine my location or whatever. This makes total sense to me because 99% of the time I use the control center I just want to disconnect from wifi network that isn’t working.
Blockchain is only innovative if you ignore the decades of DBMS development. There are very few cases where distributed consensus is needed (versus master/slave relationship), and even those cases can be served by a variety of consensus protocols with better throughput and performance characteristics.
True, but last year a law was passed (PROMESA) specifically to allow Puerto Rico to enter a court-supervised bankruptcy-like process, and it has done so. See also:

Honest question: Why would you want ligatures in plaintext? Especially in code, wouldn't that be weird as some people tend to manually align their code? Like,

modular_raft = 10
spam = 20

The "ft" in modular_raft should convert to a ligature so (I assume) it will then take one character, instead of two. Then developers viewing that source would have different alignments, depending on whether they use Sublime 3 or not.

(EDIT: Formatting.)
Long distance calls in those days were prohibitively expensive. He was writing about the public telephone system and BBSs, not the Internet. You did not dial a BBS outside of your area code (and sometimes not even within the area code because there might be toll charges).
No problem. It's a bit sad how rarely people bother to look into this.

People spend hours arguing on HN about this, and it takes a lot less time to take a look at the data.

You don't even have to be anti-Trump to agree with what the data shows: That set I linked to had strongly anti-Trump groups like "Blacktivists", "United Muslims of America" and "LGBT United".
Yeah that's a fair point, and the argument of "it should be up to the webpage owners to decide what kind of ads they want on their website by choosing a different advertising network" really resonates with me.

As a user though, I like to be able to choose a browser that helps enforce my preferences by blocking disagreeable advertising methods. I like being able to use a browser that offers popup blocking for example. I'm still scarred from the years of prolific popups ⊙︿⊙

They'll still have the freedom to use whatever ads they prefer, but I'll also have the freedom to use a browser that blocks them.

A hidden feature isn't communicated. I don't know why features are going to do something weird if I short click vs long click. There's simply no communication. Maybe some shadow (3D) effect on something which you can 3D touch would make a huge difference. (It's probably ugly, but the feature itself is ugly, so you'd expect the UI should reflect that.) A right click menu was considered a hidden feature by Apple in the olden days, but at least you knew there was a right mouse button to click. Nowadays you don't know whether a feature exists or whether you just haven't clicked long enough.

I appreciate the feature is a nice one, that the wifi will turn back on sometimes. I've been caught out. But I can't know what hidden features exist and how to distinguish them.

Moreover, "Disconnected from WifiNetwork" only communicates what you say it does once you know what the feature does. Until then, you don't know. There's also nothing that says "the network has been disabled until you go home" or whenever it's going to turn back on.

Apple used to care about their products being useful to power uses and beginners alike. Now they care about their products being useful to beginners and capable of letting the elite know who they are — the power users who are not amongst the elite know that too. It's really not very nice.

I was really happy with it when I first got my iPhone. It was awesome. I'd never used one, and it kept telling me what to do next. If I guessed wrong, it was like "haha, no you've gotta do this instead". But it is not going to be replaced with another iPhone. I just can't stand it any more.
I think there is a valid point that while this is changing what is happening under the hood, the behaviour is effectively identical for the vast majority of users, and arguably improved for most use cases (most non-technical users wouldn't understand that that switch would stop airdrop working, and even as an extremely technical user I have accidentally forgotten to switch my WiFi back on after needing to temporarily disconnect, and have ended up using a fair bit of 4G data. Luckily I have a lot of included data on my plan, but for some they might have to pay extra).

You can still switch off the radios if you want in settings.
Why do down votes get to you so much? They are temporary for good comments. For example, the above comment has a positive karma count now.

What is hostile about a down vote? What I find hostile is rude comments, group think, and shouting down of unpopular opinions. HN may have its fair share of group think, but it remains a civil platform.

If their sweetened tea is any indication, they may be caught in the uncanny valley where normal people still drink soda and people who've gotten the news about sugar won't drink sweetened drinks. Leaving them with no one.

I'm sorry but you absolutely did. You were asked whether you "accept that [turning off mobile data, wifi, and bluetooth and only re-enabling them when you explicitly need them] is a ridiculously small minority use case", to which you replied "I don't accept that", and then followed on with a non sequitur about it being a "common sense approach."
Ehhhhh, so now "disconnected from ssid" + gray wifi-button means "wifi temporarily turned off"? That is not clearly communicated. At all.

I do think the new behavior is better for me as a user 99% of the time, but at the same time i also want to know what is happening and how to override it.

Silent mode on android shows how to do it correctly, there you get a popup when activating it asking for how long you want it to be silent. It has a few presets so you just need one extra tap. That is the correct behaviour, if that's to much for an Apple mind to handle, the very least they should do is to inform of the actual state with a more descriptive label.
The UI informs the user directly that they're disconnecting from a network. This support document explains the change and how it all works in-depth for anyone who will actually care to know (everyone who reads HN or tech blogs and pretty much no one else).
It doesn't affect formatting spacing and is mostly for special symbols like arrows, greater than equal, double and triple equalities, etc. The ligatures in question are for programming languages, not stuff like 'ft'.

We also miss the upside of emailing everybody a huge Excel file, which would also accomplish distributed replication. It doesn't necessarily mean that most people fail to grasp the concept and enormous potential for sending a large Excel file, it's just that for their use case they have access to more performant tools.

> Blockchain allows you to eschew the need for a single central trusted party. This allows for fluid ecosystems, removing the need for a monopoly/oligopoly in scenarios that today require one.

Except that the system is designed for centralization towards the entity that has access to the cheapest and most subsidized electricity. While most popular cryptocurrencies have escaped that route, you can look into the variety of lower-league shitcoins, that are generally limited to a handful of miners - the rewards are just not there to compete with a giant centralized GPU farm.

That's largely true and was a big part of their appeal, especially in a time before the widespread availability of good analysis tools and predominantly in-the-box production (which removes all manner of subtle audio problems, from mismatched impedance to phase problems, from the conversation).

That said, I think there's a temptation to exaggerate. A phrase like "brain-fryingly bright tweeters" means something completely different to someone who isn't an audio engineer than it does to someone who's worked in studios or dealt with pro gear. NS10s, while harsh by studio monitor standards, are likely indistinguishable from other mid-range speakers of the era to the average listener. The difference is small, and only really becomes an issue with extended critical listening...8 hours sitting dead center in front of these speakers does feel brain-frying. But, a casual listen wouldn't reveal that. They'd sound like punchy, bright, tight, speakers. Which is what most studio monitors sound like to untrained listeners.

Which is why I'm kinda shaking my head at the comments here saying that NS10s sound "terrible"! It's just not true. They sound like what they set out to make them sound like. And, most importantly, the resulting recordings that came out of more than a decade of market dominance speaks for itself.

They aren't terrible speakers. They were a pretty good quality professional tool used by many professionals for many years to excellent results.
I don't know if a rewrite is about whether it's large or small, it's about the years of hardening many scenarios.

Is it more or less annoying than having to dismiss the list of available wifi networks?

This change might be inconvenient for you personally, but I suspect there's no way in hell Apple would have made this change if they didn't have robust data on the way their average customer uses their device and didn't believe that this was a positive change.
Yep, Photoshop does dithering by default when converting from 16bpp (or higher) to 8bpp. Many, many image processing apps & libraries don't do this, and I wish they would!

This is a little different than the article though -- all the article's dithers are good at half-toning, or 1bpp images. If your destination is 16bpp images, or 16-bit audio, you don't need error diffusion, just a decent sequence of random numbers.
> The UI informs the user directly that they're disconnecting from a network.

The UI (mis)informs the user that wifi has been turned off by greying it out, at the very least it's inconsistent with other toggle buttons. Or are there other things apple decides that you don't really want turned off?
>where people need to have some idea of what the tool is doing

Not exactly. Wrappers can (and tend to) “enhance” and hide details from those who actually have idea. This kind of breaks discoverability into confusion, that’s what my rant was about.
To balance feedback out, I've got no idea what it supports after reading the website. It can load websites, sure. But it also mentions e.g. games, does it mean it can play web-games or can I add any kind of app as a floating window? It's not clear at all IMO.
Can you describe a reasonable scenario where a layperson would see the support document prior to encountering some sort of frustration with the feature in question?
I like the UI and some features of Nylas, and thus Mailspring. But the fact I need a third party server worry me.

It's a shame what's happened to Apple since Jobs died. Boring hardware coupled with increasingly buggy software.
I prefer desktop clients (even the horrible electron things that pass as such these days), and I'm not thrilled with gmails UI which I find a bit cluttered and frustrating. It also doesn't support email snoozing, which I love.

Google Inbox is a better UI, but goes too far the other way towards wasting too much space. It's also missing some key features, and is still not a desktop client.

Also, neither one of them supports showing emails from multiple gmail accounts in a single inbox (unless you just blindly forward emails from one to the other, which you can do, but I'd rather avoid).

I recognize I'm being very picky here; mostly what I just want is Dropbox's Mailbox app, but they killed that off long ago, much to my eternal disappointment.

Where your analogy falls apart is that in Soviet states, passports weren't granted automatically as they are in the United States, nor was inter-state travel approved in the Soviet Union except for cause. There is no authority in the United States that requires justification for interstate air or train travel.
Turning off "ask to join networks" also stops your phone from connecting to open networks automatically. It will still autoconnect to networks that you have previously connected to, though, unless you explicitly tell it to forget that network.

I'm really not sure to be honest. It does seem like you could do something weird with IMAP to make it work, but every implementation I know of uses a server.
Genelecs are notoriously hard to mix on. They take a long time to learn. Probably the hardest speaker to work with out of the box. I know someone who earns 6-7 figures annually mixing some of the biggest acts around. The only speakers on his console are NS10s. The reason being is that they are the best tool for the job. They have a flat and clear response which is what you want when mixing. On the other hand I have heard enough mixes coming out of Genelec equipped studios that sounded amazing in the studio and like garbage anywhere else. I've also heard great mixes on Genelecs but only from engineers who have used them in the same room for a few years.
> At this point I’m not sure there’s a need for normal users to actually turn off Wi-Fi.

Or anyone who doesn’t want to be tracked by random retailers. I worked for one such company, so I know intimately how it works, including how MAC address randomization doesn’t actually work in the real world at completely obscuring your device.

The obvious result is hidden under non-obvious action, and pointing that out isn't being misleading, quite the opposite. And you managed to equate the "offering a clear choice" present in the actual comment into "offering the option" as in not making it technically impossible. They're not equal.

And that's not "offering" the plans, is it? When I ask you if you want a piece of chewing gum, I'm offering you a piece of chewing gum. If I have some chewing gum in my pocket and it's possible for someone -- not everybody, just someone -- to overpower me, that's not quite the same as offering. And yes, that's an extreme example, Apple isn't hiding the option on a planet full of killer robots in another galaxy. But it's also not quite "offering" it.

How do I know when I can use it? and if my phone doesn't have 3D Touch, how can I access the same features? (I don't know if my phone has 3D Touch, but I guess it doesn't because I've never been able to make it do something different. Except once when I long clicked the control centre and it did something different. I don't know if that's 3D Touch though. My iPhone used to teach me how to use it, now it just hides things because it makes someone else feel like an elegant designer.)
They're unrelated businesses.
Hmm just a detail I thought to add, not trying to imply anything about the morality of it.
