It seems to work but it does render certain ligatures incorrectly on OS X for me. For example, <* is rendered as the <> ligature and <- is rendered as </. Since it's a dev build, I'm sure it will take some ironing out before it hits the stable version but this is really promising!
The current behavior would do the same thing for you. You didn’t have to turn WiFi off, you just needed to do on next from the flaky WiFi.
In regards to people questioning why the US Navy and friends haven't swooped in yet, it is a question of logistics. Contrary to cinematic portrayal, an endeavour of this magnitude requires a ton of planning and legal acrobatics, not to mention hiring and deploying contractors. A worthy read on this subject is Shield and Sword, an account of the US Navy in Gulf War I.
Even the work around is far from what I'd expect, so much hidden functionality behind long presses, 3D presses, swipes, etc from the company that used to think the right mouse button would confuse people. That's about as useful to the average person as putting the setting in an ini file.
I see there that the actual IMAP sync is done in the client, with the Mailspring ID relegated only to extra 'features' like spying on recipients. So it might be possible to fork it and just pull out the Mailspring ID stuff? It's a big codebase though, so much depends.

Not something I'd be interested in as I don't need another Electron app (I think it is?) on my machine, but if someone had a particular liking for this it might be doable.
Google Cloud provides way more hosted services that do protect from devops. App Engine is fantastic (though it can be pricy). Similarly BigQuery "just works" vs. Redshift's need to choose instance sizes and scaling policies. Nearline is zero effort vs. Glacier's need to issue restore requests. (and Google seems to have a better container story too) Also GCS has multi-region buckets (and I believe GCP auto-migrates VMs too). You can do multi-host shared FS more easily, etc.
The WiFi radio uses less power than the LTE one, so if you’re in range of WiFi you save battery by leaving it on.

I’m not sure what the data behind your conclusion that “no one seems to pay” for Sublime is. At $80, for me it’s a steal. This is one of the most important tools that a professional developer uses every day and a lifetime license on all of their machines costs less than 1 hour of their time.

Sublime is worth so much more than it costs. They could triple the price and it’d still pay for itself quickly. If they really really focused on making the most money they could sell it on a subscription model like JetBrains. Apple gets $100/year from an app dev for Xcode which is a nice round approachable number. Sublime could do the same if they wanted to.
Then stop acting as if your use case is what the majority of users want. If you really care about a toggle that actually turns off the radio, get an Android
I wonder how hard it would be to give Postgres a pluggable query planner, so that extensions can try to improve on its results. Then people could try things out without Postgres committing to something too soon.

I'm still learning what Postgres extensions are capable of. I've written a few but only to define functions & types. It seems like I've seen more "interesting" achievements though, like CitusDB seems able to rewrite queries. Can an extension even add syntax?

It's your freedom to do so, plus you have that right written in the law which we're not protected by.

For me, I just don't comment something I don't understand, I'm not living in the US, so I can't feel what Obama's doing.

Because of that, how can I make a comment that is appropriate? I can't even make a comment that's accurate (Judging by those late night shows I watched on Youtube).

Now about tax, I think it's actually you paid your government to do what they want. When they did something wrong / you don't like it, of course you can complain about it.

But as a foreigner however, if the US government did some negative thing on us, the most effective way I think is to blame our government for letting it to happen.

BTW: Of course, in China we have anit-US (Or Japan etc) prides from time to time, just I'm not a fan of it.

That looks to me like it is communicating that the network was disconnected as a result of turning off the wifi.

This is backed up by people's previous experiences with the toggle, which did actually turn off the wifi.
I haven't tried it either, but many big name sites use certificate pinning to avoid the attacking form of this MITM.
I understood. What I meant by "option" in that context (and I updated the post to clarify this) is something like a popup when I turn off my WiFi in the control center that says: "Your wifi will automatically turn back on when you leave this location," followed by an "Ok" button and a "Do not turn it back on" button.

When the user is presented with the current control center button that turns the WiFi symbol from blue to gray, the user has a reasonable expectation (actually, I'd say more than that in this case) that it means "off." That's the point of the original article. As a completely general rule, if your UI is does something that may reasonably be misinterpreted, it is your responsibility to inform the user of that. You could take the principle almost as a definition of good usability.

From The Fine Article:

> Location Services is still enabled, Apple devices (like Apple Watch and Pencil) stay connected, and services such as Handoff and Instant Hotspot stay on.

The GP is right that it's weird that Apple Watch stays connected when you ask for a disconnect, but Apple Earbuds do not.

Different advertising networks offer different kinds of ads. 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.

A porn or piracy webpage would for example prefer more visually invasive and less privacy-invasive ads. That's a perfectly legitimate offer, even if you may not like it.

Google blocking this class of adverts in their browser hurts these competitors and benefits Google.
Wow. This exchange is one of the most bizarre things I've ever seen on HN.

I'm kind of fascinated to hear from people who spend money on things only to disable all of the things that make the thing worth spending money on.

The parent was about discoverability -- you've argued that discoverability isn't necessarily useful for tools where people need to have some idea of what the tool is doing. There are many tasks where the user needs to have an accurate mental model and a grasp of the details. I completely agree with that.

Still, GUI programs are very clearly more discoverable than cli ones. How far and where discoverability is the best approach to educating a user is a separate question.
Veselnitskaya is a paid member of a group registered to lobby against the Magnitsky act[1]. The group paying her was organized by a former GRU agent[2] and paid for by a Russian oligarch Denis Katsyv.

Reversing the Magnitsky act is pretty much the number one thing the Russian government would like.

Of course there is nothing wrong with this in itself. But while Veselnitskaya may not have been a Russian official, she was promoting official Russian policy and paid by politically connected Russian interests.

I just have to laugh at this entire thread. This is a clear example of Apple making a positive UX change for the vast majority of iOS users and it's completely invisible. Apple doesn't expect any user to "memorize" how this works. The support document is there to explain it to anyone who wants to know.

In exchange for triggering the OCD of some techies, Apple is going to save 99% of their customers time they would have spent troubleshooting why their Apple Watch or AirDrop or Handoff never work. And they'll probably save them money on their data bills as well.

This is a classic "Apple knows best" move and the only people who have a problem with it are the people who have always had a problem with Apple's SOP.
It means that the minority of techies that read HN found it interesting. There’s nothing to suggest any conclusion broader than that.

Turn off ‘ask to join networks’ - mine been that ways for 10 years and it’s much better.
That doesn't turn off your LTE radio though...
So all these years when Apple showed basically the same visual cues triggered by the same action they were miscommunications to us?

You can’t have it both ways. Apple either miscommunicated this ever since Control center was added till today or they are miscommunication pang today.

I would lean in the direction of miscommunicating today because Apple has spent years teaching its customers that this behavior means X and now it’s been changed to Y.

If you want to be off wifi why not just fully turn it off? It seems like you want it to be off for a long time. Going into settings to turn off the radio doesn't seem to be hugely laborious if you really do want it off for the entire ride.

At the current state of maturity, offensive program analysis tools (Angr, Manticore, S2E, Miasm, etc) do much better with CTF problems than large programs or more general tasks - so to my knowledge you won't find any tutorials that build from the ground up in the vain of an intro to a programming language or web framework.

Your best bet is likely to try writing scripts that solve CTF problems, maybe starting with one you've done manually, and refer to official example docs as your guide. Map similar scenarios when possible, read the API docs when not.

If we're bashing Apple's engineering quality, have no further look than the Apple Music App on Android.

Some examples:

* App crashed for no apparent reason multiple times

* Bug where on multiple occasions music won't be added to my playlists

* Bug where music not downloading after pressing the cloud icon. I always have to press it twice before the download begins, which seems like an obvious bug

Like, these are features that should be nailed down. I developed an android app which did file downloads. Press the button and download begins or is queued. Will tell users that the download fails, which is better than nothing.

I do not agree. Just because something is hard does not mean it is worth doing. There are lots of things one can do that are hard, and most of them probably aren't worth doing.
I'm coming to agree there's no substitute for effective moderation.

> I don't understand why people on HN are so anti-Steemit.

Because people on HN that have been around a while, have seen a dozen variations of this come and go, all the way back to the days of Flooz. Steemit will pop and rot, for exactly the same reasons that not a single system like this has ever worked long-term.

What Steemit actually represents is a signal that the crypto-currency mania is nearing an end for the initial speculative wave. The big dump comes next, in which most crypto-currency experiments that have attention today will die off.

There's nothing special about what Steemit is doing. They're slapping the latest hype train on top of what has been attempted for two decades. It doesn't work for a fundamental reason and there's nothing Steemit can do about that. It doesn't matter if you use a clone of Bitcoin as your foundation or an arbitrary tokenX with a different set of rules governing it. Slapping Bitcoin on the concept doesn't change the underlying broken premise.

I used and loved Nylas Mail (aka N1), so I'm going to be taking a close look at this.

For the record, my needs in a mail client are: GUI, very clean UI, pretty themes, good search, works with gmail, ideally supports snoozing emails (a key feature if you like to pursue Inbox Zero), if at all possible should be a desktop app for OS X and Windows, and I wouldn't be adverse to open notifications and such. Also, I'm explicitly fine with their being an extra server in the mix; this is more-or-less required for snoozing emails to work properly[1], and I'm not really concerned about privacy.

If that describes you, you might like Mailspring too. If not (and I suspect that'll be the case for the median HN visitor), then probably not. :)

Edit: Totally forgot, I also have a strong need for supporting multiple email accounts. A merged inbox view that will automatically use the correct email address/signature for replying to an email based on where the original email was sent is critical.

[1]: At least, every implementation of email snoozing I've seen had relied on a third party server. And once I got addicted to it with Dropbox's much-mourned Mailbox app, I've found it very hard to use a mail client without it.
I agree, but what I'm saying is that perceived plausible deniability makes speaking out against quadruple-entendres seem more futile, as any supporter can say it meant something else
This paragraph precedes your quote:

"Thanks to its time-domain accuracy and mid-heavy balance, the NS10 is an extremely revealing speaker that takes no prisoners. In other words, if the recording is poor, the NS10 will tell you in no uncertain terms. You have to work harder to make things sound good on the NS10 not because it sounds bad but because recorded music, even today, is often a poor approximation of the real thing, and the NS10 reveals it. I found a familiar comment on the SOS Forum that reads: "If it sounds good on NS10s then it'll sound good on anything." Again, that's not because the NS10 is inherently poor, but because it is effective at revealing the fundamental compromises inherent in recorded music. If you've worked hard on NS10s at a mix and overcome those compromises, or perhaps cleverly disguised them, the mix will translate well to other systems because it is a good mix. Put another way, the NS10 better enables you to get to the nub of a mix by more accurately reproducing its fundamental time-domain information — and it is this which can make the task of mixing seem more challenging."

To my mind, that is a very strong justification for the NS10. The NS10 is not without flaws, but it remains a perfectly viable professional tool that can be used to produce excellent mixes. Although it has been superseded by many modern high-end monitors, it retains some distinct advantages over the inexpensive ported monitors that are used in the vast majority of small studios.
It doesn't, apart from some GPU acceleration for the UI. I have no idea what OP is thinking.
Those millions also need to be well-versed with modern security protocols to keep their cryptosavings from being stolen, and accept the fact that not only the transactions are irreversible (which I guess is okay, considering that neither are Western Union's or Moneygram's), but sending to non-existing null addresses does not return an error, so any typo, a garbled message or a man-in-the-middle attack is also irreversible.
I mean, I can. It's just an annoying pain in the ass, now, rather than a simple toggle. Which was a stupid decision on Apple's part.
I think Sublime Text is very good but has fallen behind in terms of version control. I think Atom and VS Code are winning the war right now. Especially because the latter are free.
That it's ridiculous. Reread what I have written. I made no comment on what the majority of iOS users do. I'm talking about what I do.
3D touch and long-press are such awful places to bury any sort of functionality. There are no visual cues, no material cues, and the only way you'd know about those things are to watch Apple keynotes.

How hard would it have been to emulate what they did with f.lux, I mean Night Shift and say "Bluetooth, off until 5am (tap for more options)" or "Wi-Fi, off at this location (tap for more options)"
Isn't this better? Why do you need it render when they're giving you basically JSON of the data (might need to quote the keys in strict parsers), just extract that.

HN stopped being about business quite a while ago. It's a general-interest board now.
