I'm with you. Updated my 6+ and everything is tragically slow. 4-5 seconds just to get the Settings or Messages apps to open. Typing anything is unbearable - every time, the first word capitalises and then botches everything from then on. Basic functions within apps or opening the camera take so long as to render them near-useless.

I have switched off any animations and performance tweaks that I thought might help, but no luck.

If you have a 6, I'd recommend avoiding iOS 11 as much as you can.
No in typed language, this is not a problem because the compiler will refuse to compile. For uni-typed languages async/await is not the right model imho.
Yeah, come to think of it, it wouldn't really surprise me if some weird terminal state swaps ^J and ^M or something.

Edit: Oh, you mentioned that yourself already, inlcr.
Agreed. This is why open source works: success brings in more resources (a positive feedback loop). It's the same thing that happens in for-profit companies.

Our supplier delivers capacitive switches at about $80 per thousand, resistive at $75 per thousand, and tactile at $95 per thousand.

However resistive needs fine-tuning, and really shouldn't be used in dusty or hot environments. Which adds design time and shielding costs.

In our internal research, they end up costing about equal. But we are small, so it might change at a larger scale, though I'd expect those differences to shrink.
This is revisionist drivel.

Every year it's always "Apple is dying" as they continue to siphon money from every industry they touch. They are about to push a tonne of users into a higher price point with the iPhone X. The Apple Watch is an unquestionable success. We are on the precipice of seeing an ARM based MacBook based on their incredible work with A-series chips. They are also strategically very well placed with their Health and AR initiatives.

Anyway look forward to your position in a few weeks when iOS 11.1 is released given the betas are looking pretty good.

For alarms and clock times, my guess is data validation. The app could correct or block invalid time entries (e.g., accidentally hitting 2500), or it could restrict the entry set.

It also means the number will be in the correct format. your example, 930, could mean many things (930 seconds? 9:30am or 9:30 pm?)
Sounds like the well-known local forum that I used to visit, somehow they implemented anti-DDOS function that prevents you click a link too fast. Like if you open a page then immediately open other page you'll be redirect to warning page that tells you no human can click that fast. So one has to wait about 1 sec. to continue open other link. Fuck their design.
Those are still easy to come by. I was buying one for an 83-year-old relative last christmas, and there was plenty of choice even. We ended up with a Whirlpool model that even dings a physical bell once when it finishes.

As for regular oven tops, we spent some time finding an induction model with physical buttons. It's wonderful and I enjoy using it every day. It's very tactile. Throw a kettle on and slam it to "P" in 30 milliseconds, aah I love it.
I've personally been moving to an "everything is on HTTPS" model now for anything new I build. Just do a redirect for everything that comes in over http:// to https://.

Really? I use AirPods when I'm out and about but when I'm at my desk I plug in a pair of $20 wired Sony earbuds that sound way better...
Huh, but earlier today I was told in a HN thread that Android was a "trash OS" and "okay for developing countries and lower cost phones" and "iOS was the only choice for any sort of functional device".

What should I believe? /s
Every microwave I’ve used since about 2000 (an admittedly small sample) has this really annoying thing where you have to wait before hitting start after you enter the time. Not sure if it’s some safety feature or just bad design decisions but it’s really annoying compared to the time lost.
Heh, yes, you're quite right. "Operator" is what I should have said. Total brain fart. :D

1+ 23 = 24

7 + 89 = 96

4 + 56 = 60

The second "+" isn't registering because the animation tied to the operator buttons for some reason only blocks other non-numerical inputs for the duration of the animation.

I don't even own an iPhone or have experienced the bug, just guessing at the cause.
People still do such a thing in SL, but it's actually mostly called copybotting, and is used to steal items sold on the market. Really common as well. I don't really deal with SL anymore, but a friend of mine was sucked back into it. There's a large amount of people that are very unique, and exploitable. People exploit them for humor and profit as well.
How is this SSH escape sequences when it's actually OpenSSH escape sequences?

They look neat though, better than having to restart the session to forward ports. Too bad it doesn't work in PuTTY.
my airpods are unreliable. I could not connect them to my MacBook Pro the other night. tried changing rooms thinking maybe there is interference. tried re-pairing from scratch. they'd pair but not connect. after 15 minutes of trying various things I switched to wired headphones.

I haven't tried again since then. Had to re-pair them to get them to connect to my iPhone.

this is the first time I haven't been able to get them to connect but I've had several times where they won't say connected for more than 30 seconds
I'm pretty confident the problems with the oven are software related and nothing to do with the inherent limitations of capacitive inputs.

The problem described occurs before the oven even has time to heat up at all much less heat the input panel to 120F.
Here's how I see it:

I look at a button as defined by its shape as "perceived touchable area".

A circle enclosed in a square has a smaller area than the square enclosing the circle. You're seeing the new buttons as circles (thus smaller area), even though behind the scenes (as your little experiment has demonstrated) the buttons are still squares (real touchable area) on a grid.

I would also argue the eyes have a harder time parsing the layout, as the visual boundaries between the circular buttons have more complex shapes than the old UI, where the boundaries were very thin lines.

If you want to run another "experiment" – albeit theoretical – imagine we shrink the "perceived touchable area" of each button even further, say we get rid of the circular background and keep solely the digit displayed on the button. Your eyes will now perceive the visual representation of the button, as only the digit, and I would say our initial impulse is to touch what we see and not some imaginary boundary we know exists.

I agree that this behavior is terrible, and arguably even worse when menu animations are disabled, yet the Start menu delay remains more or less the same.

What appears to be happening — I have no idea what's actually happening, but my guess as to what the problem may be, is that there's no special handling of Start menu keyboard input, just a set of systemwide shortcuts that tell Explorer to open the Start menu and then to steal keyboard focus.

My fear is that the reason that no special effort appears to have been made to fix this is not some significant technical difficulty, but out of some explicit or implicit management decision that time spent fixing a bug that's only visible to the very few users who even realize the Start menu accepts keyboard input in the first place would be better spent on "important stuff", like, um, making the taskbar "more social"[1].

Agree whole heartedly, bought a Paw license and never use it. I use insomnia instead.

It's cross platform like postman so I can use it on my linux box and recommend it to all of our team members and it's not a pain in the ass.

Surprisingly I thought I'd place a lot of value on the native mac look and feel for this app but it really doesn't make a large difference.

Except this law violates various state laws, as well as the state constitution, so it will be struck down upon judicial review.
Let's say you have a neutron shooting through some solid matter, you have a couple things that can happen. One is that the neutron can just not get close to any nuclei. This depends on the density and thickness of the matter the neutrons pass through. Another is that the neutron can come close to a nucleus and scatter off of it. Or, a neutron can come close to a nucleus and either be absorbed by it or cause some neutronic nuclear reaction (such as neutron induced fission).

There are two super interesting things that are relevant to neutron scattering off of Hydrogen nuclei (protons). One is that due to quantum effects the de Broglie wavelength of the proton is larger than for other nuclei (partly due to the standard inverse relationship between energy and wavelength). This means that protons are a much larger "target" than more massive nuclei in terms of neutron scattering, which is a bit opposite of what you might imagine from a non-quantum perspective. Additionally, protons and neutrons are nearly the same exact mass, within single digit percentage points. Now, let's say you take a tennis ball and you throw it at a wall, it'll bounce off the wall at nearly the same speed, right? And almost exactly the same thing will happen if you throw it at a bowling ball. This is just the way momentum and kinetic energy works. But if you throw a tennis ball at another tennis ball and you hit it dead on then you'll transfer all of the momentum from the first ball to the second, just as in a Newton's Cradle or in a game of billiards.

Those two facts together mean that Hydrogen nuclei are super good at slowing down neutrons. They are much larger targets to the neutrons and when neutrons scatter off of them the neutrons tend to lose a lot of their momentum. So it doesn't take many scatterings before the neutrons are no longer at ionizing energy levels and aren't dangerous to humans (they will decay with a half-life of several minutes into protons and electrons (and neutrinos)). Meanwhile, those protons will get a ton of momentum foisted onto them, but they are charged particles moving through atomic matter chock-a-block with other charged particles so they don't get far. The net result is that neutron radiation is blocked.

Polyethylene is basically (CH2)n so it contains lots of Hydrogen atoms (water is also a good neutron moderator/blocker). Additionally, Carbon is also one of the better neutron moderators, so the combination is pretty effective.

On the other hand, lead is just a bunch of heavy nuclei. Which aren't actually that "big" from a neutron's perspective due to quantum effects, and most of the time when a neutron hits a lead nucleus it's just going to ricochet and maintain almost 100% of its original speed/energy, so you need a lot of lead to make a difference.

Reading PDFs on a tablet isn't too bad because of large screen real estate.

Reading PDFs on a small mobile phone requires me to zoom in to make the font big enough for me to read, and then I have to scroll right to read, and left and down to move to a new section of the column.

Try reading a PDF on a smaller device than a tablet. I'm sure you'll be able to see what we mean.

Curious to know what in what ways would old fashioned DSP (Fourier, STFT, Wavelets), or for that matter compressed sensing be lacking compared to deep learning.
This doesn't surprise me. Already they are trying to economically limit the number of cars there (as mentioned in the article). Singapore has an extremely efficient public transport system and a culture that already isn't highly dependant on cars so I don't see a massive social shift being in order to accomodate the plan.
Personally I really do find the sound quality to be quite good on the AirPods. When I'm at home I'm often using a much more expensive pair of open Beyerdynamic headphones so it's not like I haven't experienced high quality sound, though I wouldn't consider myself an audiophile.
Can someone please explain to me, AI talent that is sought after is... is the search for mathematicians who can _create_ ML tools, or merely use ML tools (like scikit-learn or whatever-have-you, to optimize ad-targeting or things like that)?

I take it most of the times it's the latter. In which the case the AI talent in question doesn't need to be the most hardcore programmer, just someone who knows statistics, can do some basic linear regression and whatnot and knows one of the more popular ML libraries, like scikit-learn or tensorflow.
It also depends on the device (and software) you're watching video with - some are smart enough to compensate for the lag. iOS is decent at it when something uses the system APIs to play video (so not VLC), but I never had any luck back when I used Android. On that Mac I get really bad sync issues sometimes (seconds!).
The LG V20 has the Hi-Fi Quad DAC as well (in case anyone wants to pick it up at half the price).

The sound is quality truly amazing.

Insomnia doesn't even come close to Paw due to the amount of features Paw has that Insomnia doesn't.

The key problem with this question is that most insurance plans do not cover hearing aids, regardless of whether your doctor/audiologist says you need them.
Great guy, transparent with his finances, always giving free advice here and on his blog.

WoW was released the same year as LCD monitor sales first surpassed CRTs (2003). So in the early days of WoW, people actually got better colors than a few years later when most people had dumped CRTs for the relatively poor consumer LCD monitors of the day.
Don't forget that cochlear implants are basically a locked-in monopoly. If you've got an implant from company A, then you're stuck with company A's processors and accessories unless you plan on having another surgery to take out the implant and put in a different one -- which most surgeons would not recommend for any reason short of actual damage.

I picked Advanced Bionics and regularly pay around $2000 a year in batteries, parts (cables, various pieces) etc. alone -- none of which is covered by my insurance here in Japan. Currently I'm waiting on a replacement processor (which is two or three generations old) that I'll pay around $600 out of pocket for. It doesn't seem like much, but due to rain and humidity I end up opening it myself and cleaning it several times a year because I can't afford to get it repaired/replaced.

If I want to upgrade to the newest processor, which is lighter, has better audio quality, and is MUCH more water resistant (a major problem with my current model), it will cost me around $7000 -- and that's a DEAL because the processor JUST got approved in Japan.

After March 2018, the price will go up to $14,000 for a processor. Of course, it's not covered by insurance, so I have to pay for it all out of pocket.

I asked the doctor I was seeing what Japanese cochlear implantees do; I've seen so few successful/independent ones and couldn't imagine any of them paying for any of this. He said they usually hobble along with replacement parts/charity and never upgrade the processor because they can't afford it. He also mentioned that many of them have such a low level of recovered hearing and speech that newer processors, frankly, would not give a measurable QOL benefit, which is another rant entirely...

I'm glad I'm not bilaterally implanted -- there's no way I could afford TWICE the costs.

At first I found smartphone screens really intuitive. You tap the thing you want, swipe the direction you want to go and such.

But with the added layer of animations post interaction it can feel really cumbersome and disconnected. Imagine if each key on the keyboard had an associated delay and animation and you can see how it might impede a user's progress in other scenarios as well.

I think it is a case of the rule of cool winning during design and development, and then because the devices and sites we use become daily use items we end up growing tired of the mounting small inconveniences.

Imagine if every time you opened your wallet you had to wait a few seconds for it to slide open from a button press, rather than it just opening as you manipulate it.

You lose a slight bit of control over the situation and it's timliness and that adds up over the course of long time use until eventually you throw out the wallet and buy a more rudimentary one that "just opens for crying out loud".

Yep. It saves a huge amount of time when testing big API features. You can also insert random tokens, other parts from the request, browser request import, OAuth integration, etc!
I think that many asian cities have the right approach here. Treat cars as a luxury good in a space-challenged context and tax them heavily, while making sure to provide a world class public transport system so as to guarantee no-one actually needs a car.

While it doesn't have a COE, tokyo does basically the same thing. You will have to pay $50k upfront for a 10-year car permit in singapore. In Tokyo there's no upfront cost but good luck getting a car park for less than $500/m - and you'll have to prove you have one to register the car. Adds up to about the same amount.

I live 100m from a train station with 2 lines, automated trains come every 3-4 minutes, 8 minutes to my workplace. Bike share outside my door. 3 supermarkets and hundreds of shops within walking distance. If absolutely necessary, there's Uber or grab. You don't need a car here. It's a luxury for the rich, and that's pretty much as it should be IMO.
"Just one thing" - I'm sure Karl knows this is not fully-fledged, bug-free terminal.

Great concept Karl, I think you're a no-brainer hire for anyone who wants to add out-of-the box problem-solving to their team, since you just hacked your personal brand publicity very creatively :)
The spec allows you to describe how you decide to implement these things; it doesn't proscribe any particular API patterns.

You can declare types separately from APIs to make your last two items easier.
If all inputs are in hh:mm format, then there is no ambiguity of 930 as 9:30 am/pm. There could be a toggle for AM/PM.

If I want to listen to music, I'll get the CD version and listen to it in a quiet room on my nice headphones.

I go to concerts to mosh, buy signed CDs/T-shirts/posters/pins, and meet other fans.

Meeting people requires talking. Earplugs, like the headphones I wear in the office, are a social signal to tell people "don't talk to me". I'm well aware of the dangers to my health, but I've met too many good friends at shows to stop trying to socialise with people who obviously share something in common (taste in music). I'm shy around total strangers, so it's at common-interest events like concerts where I have a starting point to talk about, and thus meet people.
Everyone is all about trusting science and medical professionals right up until it comes to dietitians... Then suddenly random bloggers and cherry picked studies come flying out of the wood work, much like the anti-vaccine crowd.

And I say this with the belief that Americans eat too many carbs, and a higher fat/lower carb diet would be better for people. I just don’t understand this disconnect.
That's the great thing about being in New Zealand, I get upgraded for free every 7 years. A pack of 50 batteries will cost me $30. But mine has rechargeable batteries too if I need.

Surprised Japan doesn't do the same. However, maybe it's an Advanced Bionics thing - we can't get them on the public system here. I chose Med-el (the other option is Cochlear).
I think there's some network access in there too. When I was tethering to my phone on public transport (where the connection drops out periodically) I've had the windows menu freeze for a minute (or whatever the timeout is).

I moved back to linux for a computer where basic things like this would work reliably. A good move for the most part, but for some reason the calculator in gnome doesn't do anything when you hit the '=' key, I have to reach for the mouse. Seems like no one can make a simple calculator app anymore.
I think Python would be better to start with. It is interpreted so you will get sane error messages. The community is omnipresent. If you'd like instant answers, you could just pop in to #python on irc.freenode.net.

Most of the times all your questions will be answered by a simple google search, as there are mountains of good questions and answers on stackoverflow.

IMHO for you, getting back into programming will be as simple as opening the interpreter and starting to type.

I don't think programming has changed, the basic mentality is still the same. And nothing beats good old experience.

The new niche "trends" such as asyncronous programming, actor-based programming etc. could be easily learned by lingering on HN for a while :).

Best of luck getting back on the keyboard!
