my whole Bosch line of washing machines and dryer have these buttons where i have to press my fingers awkwardly, sometimes slide it side to side for it to register a simple thing as "Start". Cool looking? i dont know but hey, put some LEDs on normal plastic buttons man.
I grew up in Miami and what we called lightning bugs were a beetle with a pair of green glowing dots on the head:

I now live in NC where the bug is called a firefly and it has a single yellow glow near its tail and looks more like a fly.
Sublime. I want to get rid of annoying popup asking to buy Sublime.
i have a top of the line Samsung oven with the same thing. even tho it's probably only a fraction of the cost of yours, it still wasn't cheap.
I’ve still got one of these (a dime from my Dad’s pocket, irradiated, then into the box with the rest of my kid treasures) from when my family and I visited Oak Ridge in the 60’s. I can’t speak to why they had the machine to do it there, but I still remember why I put the dime in.

I was 7 or 8. The future seemed closer then, like we were almost just right there. “Atomic energy,” the space program, television: I remember when WAND in Decatur started broadcasting in color. Everything was getting better right in front of our eyes. Cool Whip! One day it was THERE.

And so on a visit to Oak Ridge, TN, you felt as a kid that it was all happening, that you could learn about it, and when you grew up you could join the team and make it happen, too. The dime was proof.
I am a colorist and I also want to add that the technical details check out - minus the Red One being better than film. It was most decidedly worse in every way - but was almost as good which was the important thing. I recently was going back and look at One and MX footage and couldn't believe how terrible it has held up while the Alexa sensor is still great today as are the 16 and 35 scans I work with.

That aside, I found the discussion about the misuse of ACES particularly interesting. It's like the completely misunderstood the tool and how it's intended to be used (which isn't uncommon with the tech unfortunately).
Well I suppose my fingers normally stay around the home row because that's how I was taught. I suppose it's my mistake for assuming that's how others type!

Nevertheless, esc is still super far away from all the letters which is presumably what you are likely to be pressing.
I'm not sure if you're a troll or just ignorant, but my startup is all about fake news, so I'll take this on.

1. Nowhere do they claim to be affiliated with YCombinator. I'm not sure why do you think YC would be the owner of the domain.

2. The company registered in the Cayman Islands is not the owner of metachat.com but the Whois Privacy company owned by the domain registrar.

3. Where do you see a "YC login" on that page? They have their own registration and login page. If you put your YC username and password in there... let's just it's pretty ironic for you to be calling someone else "very dumb".
Oh I must have been confused when you said "end-users". But either way I think my analogy stands.
So it's probably okay to use for a wireless mouse/keyboard but continuous sound output is a no go? Just seems like a bad design I mean the computer doesn't even have an ethernet port so to have wifi + bluetooth as a suggested combo/function and it doesn't work... haha
Yeah, it's really been a big turnoff for me. I think they are missing an opportunity though--rather than run kind of mediocre ads, they should enable a lead-gen model or create their own ad platform that lets users bid to be featured next to relevant questions based on keywords or specific posts. Some of the industries they have traction with would pay a LOT for a highly-qualified lead like they could potentially drive.

Done properly, it could be a user-beneficial value-add that aligns their interests with users and people spamming the responses. This could in turn give them leverage to clean up said comments via policy/automation. Make it prohibited to spam answers, but offer an easy way to promote your services with/without a response required, and charge a reasonable fee.

I don't know if this tech was released yet, it was something to do with wireless payments if I recall right.

I think I bricked my phone once when I was messing with rooting/overclocking. I don't do that anymore, I bought a pretty solid LG phone for like $80 (new) from a lower end mobile provider it functions better than this other phone by ZTE that had a finger print sensor, it kept freezing after running say more than 4 apps.

Edit: The podcast was about PayPal Beacon
The monthly payment is a mere $3071 a month for 30 year and $4,429 for 15 year.

With his income, he can comfortably afford a monthly payment of $7,140.
Another example, which has existed for as long as I have known, is the spinning number selectors on iOS, used in apps such as Clock for setting alarms or selecting times/dates. The new value doesn't register until the animation completes, so if I set my alarm too fast, it doesn't save: Let's say the alarm is set to 09:00 and I change it to 09:30. So I spin the minute field up to 30 and hit Save. If I do it too quickly, the spin animation isn't completely done (even though we're talking just a few pixels), and the alarm reverts back to 09:00. Interestingly enough, the bug doesn't cause the saved value to be 09:29, which is what one might expect it to be, given that that's the last value passed before Save was clicked.
FWIW, I'm a colorist and have very expensive color critical monitors and calibration probes. For GUI monitors I've started recommending gaming panels for suites that don't want to invest in professional graphics displays. Once calibrated these monitors are surprisingly accurate and hold the calibration well (at least as good as professional displays many times more expensive - though still a far cry from color critical displays). The expanded refresh rates are a nice bonus for eye relief as well.
Animations are the worst part of every single UI I use.

Also constantly hiding basic functions behind more menus and adding way too much white-space.

Apple has had a series of truly revolutionary products over the years.

The complete list, as far as I'm concerned:
Original Macintosh
OSX/macOS
iPod
iPhone
AirPods

AirPods really are amazing, my singular complaint is that they're not waterproof.
No, consider the course of the war; immediately after taking Pearl Harbor, Japan also attacked the Philippines, Singapore, Malaysia and the Dutch and French East Indies. In Europe it would have been called Blitzkreig. All thorough 1942 they headed south along the chain of islands towards Australia. Even in December the pacific route was dangerous. The west route put the largest amount of distance between the plane and the Japanese home islands.

You could imagine a southern route Aukland -> Papa'ete, Hanga Roa -> Lima which was probably completely out of any military risk, but there would not have been facilities, most notably fuel.

I had Jaybird X3's before I had AirPods.

The X3s were not terrible, but, the AirPods are more comfortable and stay in my ears more firmly. I can wear them for hours and hours without them bothering me and I only dislodge them if I physically knock them out of my ear.

The thing is, you don't have to have a shitty user experience to build things. But they were a typical SV company in that they knew everything!
It's just the the SL premise of "Prims" was not scalable. That and their regions were not scalable in the past, not sure if they have corrected that or not.
Do the blue tooth headfone proponents ONLY use headfones on phones? How do you use them on laptops and computers with no bluetooth capability? or on Roku remote? or on flights without buying some other crap dongle or adapter? I run out of charge on my gym blutooths soo often, who are these folks who only have to charge their headphones once in 3 months on daily use? Bluetooth could be an addon feature to a headfone if you wanna go cordless but why shut the effin gate on the device side by removing the jack altogether? (hyperventilating now)
Being able to use an exploit to get root on your Android device is every bit as annoying as being able to use an exploit to get root on an iOS device (particularly as "getting root" isn't even enough on either device: you need to disable a bunch of random OS-level protections with a kernel exploit). There are a small number of Android devices with an unlocked bootloader, but in reality that just means "the Nexus devices from Google that people on Hacker News often complain about the shitty customer service regarding" as the other devices with this property aren't worth buying (and the flagship devices from Samsung--the ones people want to buy with the epic cameras and the great screens--are of course all locked and while they still aren't quite as competent at it they are at least trying hard at their anti-user "security" measures).
Which provider did you use?
How about typing "Ctrl+C Ctrl+C e x i t Enter", and then adding the "~ ." if that doesn't work?
This is where the alarm would be a grey colour instead of green? I missed alarms this way too in iOS 10. It’s worked so far in iOS 11. A shocking bug. I reported it to apple on twitter. Instead of saying yes we’re incompetent, they wanted to set me up a call with a ‘Senior Advisor’. I just gave up. I don’t want to waste time talking to someone who will tell me I have to set my alarm slower and double check it’s set correctly. It’s not like I paid nearly 1000 USD for the phone or anything...

You should provide tooltips regardless of whether the meanings are generally clear.
As a counterpoint: my mother got the Bose Hearphones recently. She says they are worlds better than the hearing aids she used to wear.
If you're on a call (and I do some marathon calls), I get a small ding in my ear and pop out one airpod, charge it, in 10-15m put it back in and charge the other one and with ~30m of completely uninterrupted conversation (swapping airpods does not cause drops) I'm good for another 2 hours.

For music, I get ~4 hours easily.
I’ve also been able to reproduce this bug. I found that if you pause and wait for the animation to finish before hitting the next number it will work as expected.

iOS usually launches with a bunch of bugs and issues. But this particular release has been one of the buggiest I can remember. There’s so many UI inconsistencies and other issues that feel incredibly rushed. I really hope the next minor patch addresses these, especially the battery issues. I’m charging my iphone7 2-3 times a day.

Just tried on my 2011 HP veer which ran webOS.

I like to fire up older tech (2011 is not that old) to remind myself all the forks in the roads society had to take that led us to where we are today. RIP webOS.
In the 70s my family bought a microwave oven. It had one knob with a dial, which you would turn clockwise to the number of minutes. The microwave would immediately start (if closed, of course) and count down. The gradations had a logarithmic scale. If you wanted to stop early, you turned the knob counterclockwise to zero.

That interface was genius. These days I sob and cry every time I have to figure out how to use an unfamiliar microwave.
I was very annoyed with this. Then I chanced to use my wife's laptop. And Win10 was absolutely flying on it. No keystroke misses, no launch lag. I have since concluded that Win10 is impossible to run properly on a spinning drive. You must have an SSD. I once r4ead that the reason Vista was such an utter dog on old machines was because Microsoft dev machines were too highly spec'd. I guess the same has happened with Win10.
If I swipe down from the top of the screen I see the clock and the date, do you get that?
They are smooth. Seductive. Subtle. Slow and intimate, you like to touch them and they like it back. A soft sexy red glow that fades in and fades out as you massage your commands into it's willing display.

My friends joke that I'm a sociopath or autistic, and my decisions have been called 'crazy' many times, and the only way I overcome social awkwardness is to treat everything as a joke. I have close friends whom I rarely talk to, and I'm not sure whether or not to blame a higher score for that. In a way, it's nice to be able to retain information and to be good at words and numbers, to be able to entertain myself (saves a lot of $$), but man, the first 25 years of my life (I'm 31 now) were such a struggle socially. There's deep-rooted feelings of anger at rejection, and I cling to a higher score as one of my main source of pride. (Yes, I'm jealous of people who have even higher IQs.)

Then again, my mentor who is at least one standard deviation higher seemed to have had few troubles socially.

Linux isn't going anywhere on servers at least. If anything, Linux's problem is that it's edging uncomfortably close to the point of being too big to fail, in many sectors.

But I can unfortunately concede your point with consumer devices. I've come to the conclusion that Android will be doing a quiet Linux->Fuschia switcharoo in the future (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15506377), for example.

My Bosch dishwasher's buttons drive me nuts. They need a firm press for a second or more and then beep half a second after I lift my finger. I won't know whether the touch registered until after I let go. Don't even think about the next button you need to press until you're sure the last one took or you'll be holding the reset buttons for an eternity and starting over.

They don't work any better or worse with wet hands, so I have to figure they kind of sacrificed overall usability in exchange for capacitive touch working with wet fingers.
Yes. But it’s cumbersome. With a plus model I can swipe left one handed. I need two hands to swipe down from the top.

How's the display on that? I'm on a Note 3, and I really like the fact that I've always been able to see Samsung's AMOLED display in the sunlight. I also have bad eyes, so I tend to keep the display pretty bright in the dark. It's always seemed so much more vivid than other phones I've compared it to, but that's been a while.

And this is exactly the sort of principle that helps to distinguish between the mechanical aspects of quantum physics, and the much-hyped angular momentum spin uncertainty aspects.

People make so much hay about the curious non-locality and uncertainty of spin, and tend to get tunnel vision about how nothing makes sense anymore, leaving out the broader strokes which have pretty reasonable underlying principles.
Very simple fix: all they need to do is pass UIViewAnimationOptions.allowUserInteraction to UIView.animate(...) when animating the flash of the buttons. Simple oversight.
Better in what way, exactly? More expensive? Doesn't use built-in biological facilities? Requires software updates and network synchronization? Children can't use it?
This (and more) happens on Windows 10 sticky notes. I wonder if they collaborated.
Does iOS runtime not use evented I/O? Coming from web, I would expect tap events to queue up while the thread is busy with an animation.
I'm feeling extremely uncomfortable looking at these kinds of regressions. There's probably some Boeing/NASA engineer pulling out his iPhone and making "simple" but potentially dangerous back-of-the-envelope calculations like this. We already solved the calculator many decades ago, then brought it into many portable devices, the first iPhone and now we see a broken version of it on iOS 11.

Do they work with gloves? Why not just a motion sensor with a manual override?
You should try it if you can. Yes, helmet removal can and likely will dislodge, but it's not obvious that just the act of using them with a helmet on will cause problems.

Maybe it won't work, but worth trying.

Amazing how factual statements in response to questions about same are getting downvoted. C'mon people.
Well, I'm hoping that effect dwindles after one generation of products once everyone's learnt their lesson.
That's actually from an atom plugin called Activate Power Mode: https://atom.io/packages/activate-power-mode

Some of my colleagues use it and I tell them they're absolutely nuts, but they swear by it. It reminds them their code has meaning, I guess? Haha
>>As soon as I upgraded my 6s to 11, I saw performance seriously degrade. It takes -seconds- to bring up the iMessage editor.

THIS! My exact experience and sentiment. The lag frustrates me every time I open almost any app (and then I get frustrated with myself for letting myself succumb to such a first-world-problem)

Is there any recourse? Can we disable some animations or other unnecessary features in settings?

Can we expect 11.0.4 or 11.1 to fix?
At least ten cents. Sure, but I'll buy as many 1964 dimes as you have got for a dollar each.
Isn't it pretty basic to run animations in background, without blocking anything else? Sad that we're going backwards with basic user interface stuff.
I guess it's a trade-off.

"Do people really need that kind of accuracy?"

Yes, Steve.
Just googled, found this...

"Some reddit users claim that resetting their settings (Settings --> General ---> Reset --> Reset All Settings) fixed all of the app issues, while others have restored their devices and set it up as new to solve the problem. Others have backed up and restored and had better results."

Agreed. No one sits at the top adamant about quality control and everything “just working.” I don’t really see that anywhere in hardware anymore.

It’s a damn shame. I loved the Apple of old.
Same, I am getting 23 too.

I think the problem is due to the UI is lagging and thus the second addition click event is not registered. e.g: 4+5+6 will return you 56.

Edit: Did it without using the "=" as other has pointed out.
This is the reality. Prices are set based on what the market will bear, which is determined primarily by what health insurance will pay for. The same HA or CI costs different amounts depending on whether you're buying it in the USA, Europe or Australia.

If you're paying out of pocket, I strongly recommend that you check out eBay. Second-hand gear is quite cheap.
While the button is animating, it simply doesn't respond to touches. There's no thread that's stuck. 1 + 2 - 3 consistently produces the correct result because + and - are different buttons.
