I have been using Airplay to listen to music and watch videos for a long time. The receiving devices, Airport Express and Apple TV, both are capable of two-channel output to my stereo system. Why can't HomePod do the same thing? With a matched pair, one device could function as master and the other as slave. (If you know the reason, please just tell me. I'd rather not watch a 50-minute WWDC video to get an explanation. Thanks!)
wonder what will be the next reddit .. maybe the last push before some decentralized thing that needed some userbase.
It actually has a switch to turn nagging about app off.
It's 'ask to open in app' in menu. No banners or popups about the app since I've flipped it.
I didn't know this! I would gladly pay 10x its price, if Doppler supported Apple Music through MusicKit...
Clearly, the 'learning styles' propaganda we've been fed for decades was hogwash, like the type A/B theory or the MB personality style concept.

However, that doesn't mean that thinking about multiple ways to learn a concept is fruitless. Personally, the more ways I can be taught a concept, the better my chances are of understanding it.

I've benefited enormously from professors in math, physics, or computer science who've taken several approaches to teaching a difficult concept.
It would be nice to have some more controls.

For example, often the color of the inserted object changes radically, which might not be what was intended.
No, I would never argue for C++. The reason being mostly its toolsets (constantly changing, instable and often incoherent). I just don't think readability is an argument - and I am as sick of (pointless) arguments against C++'s readability as you are about goto arguments :) Edit: Just to be clear - there are actual arguments against C's readability. For example when figuring out where and when data gets deleted - but as others have pointed out dynamic memory management is a whole different beast in kernel wonderland.

Would you really say that this sort of complexity is just down to writing indecipherable bad code?

https://isocpp.org/blog/2012/11/universal-references-in-c11-...

In my view C++ is a very complex language that only few people can write safely and productively.

When you say "I understand my code" I have to believe you. The problem is that understanding other people's C++ code takes ages, even if they don't abuse the language. Trusting their code is another story entirely.

C++ is a very flexible language in that it puts few restrictions on redefining the meaning of any particular syntactic expression.

That's great, but it also means that there is a lot of non-local information that you have to be aware of in order to understand what any particular piece of code actually does.

I'm not surprised that C++ is both loved and hated and perhaps even more often simply accepted as the only practical choice.

There aren't many widely used languages around that allow us to optimize our code almost without limit and at the same time provide powerful abstraction facilities.

At the same time, there aren't many widely used languages around that make reading other people's code as difficult as C++ (even well written code) and come with a comparably long tail of accumulated historical baggage.

This is one of the huge strengths of this platform. The ability manage a battlefield, including other fighters/bombers/ground troops as well as remote forces.
A metric like that would also discourage people from actually documenting the debt.

Enterprise values running old apps, consumers value running today's apps.

Do they really, or is it just that consumers are more likely to be persuaded by Apple's marketing?

Personally, I have some apps which I use regularly, and are at least 20 years old. I use mostly Windows for that reason too.
If cost is the core objective, consider having no military expenditures at all. All military gear is expensive, depreciating assets not contributing to productivity and tying up resources that can be used elsewhere.

Ukraine did just that prior to 2014.

Otherwise, your weapons should be a practical deterrent to an aggressor.
Something maybe of interest to HNers to keep an eye on: I noticed that the creator of the Carp language tweeted about getting Carp ready for the Lisp Game Jam.

Man I wish we can go back to browsing the web without cookies.
That's a short def of cheaper. It only is true if on average being a human costs net money, and that's obviously not the case. Life is quite an investment. It follows from your logic that it's cheaper to not have life saving tech at all, yet human value took off when we got it. Old people have wisdom, and information is valuable.
I'm sure some adjustments will be necessary, but I'd actually like to fully stop mobile apps, desktop style, quite often.
It's not just the splash that's frustrating on mobile. I dislike staring at a logo for ages just so I can eventually read one comment page.

I'm sure this is fun for people who use reddit regularly but as only an occasional visitor I would rather do without it.
Possibly Santa Cruz Operations, but they where in trouble before Linux really took off IIRC.
"Relay" is also amazing. I realized just today that I browse HN from mobile Firefox, but reddit from Relay, and I realized that that's because Relay is so much better than any HN mobile app. It really makes a difference.
The readers should all have the four lights, like your middle link. Either physical LEDs or on-screen graphics, and that's where you aim.

That last Ingenico is, IMHO, very poorly designed as it hides them.

In the UK (for instance) they almost all look like this one with virtual LEDs on screen -

The NFC area is consistently at the top, and is consistently visible. If the standards aren't being followed in the US reader market then clearly that's not going to help anyone, but it's just more evidence that the US credit card technology market is outdated and a very weird outlier.
I agree that .compact is their most mobile friendly website but I'm not sure I'd call it "user friendly".

It's difficult to edit comments, difficult to switch between subreddit's, and defaults to their main mobile format or prompts you to download their app if you click on any internal links that don't have .compact in the URL (include the default /r/$subreddit formatting).
Does this contain pretrained data? Is there a possibility to train it yourself (e.g. to allow a broader set of styles)?
From your link:
"These increases in greenhouse gas concentrations and their marked rate of change are largely attributable to human activities since the Industrial Revolution (1800)."
and
"Data for the past 2000 years show that the atmospheric concentrations of CO2, CH4, and N2O – three important long-lived greenhouse gases – have increased substantially since about 1750."

I don't think your link supports the statement "the weaking started well before the industrial revolution."
They give enough for research to continue and keep the project alive.

They might have have contract where they commit more investments after some R&D goals are met.
I skipped over modules, because Visual C++ and clang already have them in some form, it is a matter of getting them standardized in C++20.

Cargo is great, but C++ also has conan and vcpkg, eventually a standard one will emerge.

http://www.klabbers.nl/c/dependency-management-for-c/

Also I do have an issue with Cargo's lack of support for binary libraries.

ADTs, while not as good as in ML languages, at least there is std::variant.

I kind of mentioned explicit unsafe when I refereed to the safety enforced at language level instead of conventions and sanitizers.

Pattern matching is a great feature across all ML based languages, there were already some attempts to add it to the C++ as well.

Congrats. This is very cool.

This is probably less a critique of your project and maybe more a celebration of cubism: The clock in the Picasso portrait is not "harmonized" in terms of cubist motifs at play in the composition. The contours appear merely dilapidated. Maybe this passes for someone with little concern for painting or art history but it was like a sort thumb for me. Maybe this is a good study reference on the gap between pattern recognition and human perception. Maybe not. I'd be interested in other thoughts.
yeah it's almost better than the desktop web version.

This is the second time I've seen you make that claim. Can you, by any chance, recall on which occasion he said this (or dig up the exact quote)? AFAIK the plan was always to use the 64 bit transition as an opportunity to shed deprecated APIs, so to imply otherwise in public would have been rather irresponsible.

They took the system, excluded the hardware where the all the behavioural features they could directly observe resided (RAM, ROM and its contents) from their analysis, and then concluded that their neurobiological-inspired technique was useless for understanding complex systems because it didn't tell them anything useful. If they hadn't done that, they'd have been in serious danger of gaining actual understanding and wouldn't have been able to use the exercise to mock the neuroscience practices they dislike.
Google is more dangerous than Facebook. In the later you usually have a persona you pretend to be. But Google knows you better than yourself. You can’t lie to Google. Is your teenage daughter pregnant? Do you have a disease that is socially rejected? Do you want to have an abortion? Are those pimples in your groin an STD? Are you secretly looking for another job? Google probably knows that before you do. And their business plan is making money out of that information.

Yeah but I don't want to use another app for that. I already have app for browsing Reddit - it's called web browser and I'd like to keep using it rather than downloading yet another app that does basically the same.

Web3 applications will require users to have tokens so they can interact with the DApp, so either a network token like Ether or a utility token like BAT is needed. The tradeoff is that your data isn't mined and sold for advertisers and your content can't be demonetised or otherwise censored by the platform. In the context of social media, I believe the cost will serve as deterrent to trolling and harassment.

For all the hurrah about Facebook and privacy, it will be interesting to see if users really do care enough about their rights to free speech and privacy to switch platforms and put some of their own resources into making better solutions.

Apple's 64 bit strategy was in place by 2007 (It would hardly make sense to omit some 64 bit Cocoa APIs in MacOS X 10.5, only to bring them back later, would it?). Forstall left in 2012. Your alternate history timeline may need some work ;-)

No. Perl is pretty much alive.

Please use https://metacpan.org instead. It has been the de-facto module search engine used by the Perl community for the past 10 years at least. Only Google still seems to think that search.cpan.org is a thing.

At the next Perl Toolchain Summit (http://act.qa-hackathon.org/pts2018/) work will be done on metacpan.org, not on search.cpan.org. And this will also include work on the Perl 6 Toolchain, for that matter.
Their are done with C, there is no more love to give beyond what ANSI C++ requires.

ANSI C++14 requires C99 library, while ANSI C++17 upgraded it to C11.

Microsoft has contributed to improve clang on Windows for those that still want to keep on using C, but then good luck accessing COM and .NET APIs from C, it is possible but I wouldn't do it for fun.

Even the new C runtime library is actually written in C++.
The dumbest possible version is still called Autopilot.
Decentralised web as a solution to Facebook's monopoly by ReasonTV
Currently, the only thing that designers have shown general interest for is visual coding languages. Unreal engine has Blueprints which probably the most advanced visual coding language out there and in both and 2d graphics visual coding workflows have taken, scripting may have not been so successful but visual coding is definetly something designers so a genuine interest from.Designers tool have become so immensely complex that basic GUI design which usual UX people are accustomed too is no longe enough to satisfy the complexity. Visual coding is here to stay in the designer world and most likely it will leak to the coding world too. For me its the only viable option that I am aware for bring both cultures together.
Mobile phones. Again.

It's always mobile phones that ruin good websites these days.

They optimise for swipe, scroll and tap. Look, like, emoji.

They don't optimise for text. In fact they are increasingly hostile to it. The Tinderfication of online dating has been a depressing race to the bottom.

The internet was never going to be as great as we thought it was. No other technology has been. Folks thought the telegraph would end wars and that TVs would have everyone soaking up a deep education. But that's not where the money was.

But I felt it wouldn't be this shitty. At some point we're all going to look back on that moment when Jobs held up the first iPhone that could run an app and regret it.

I wholly agree on requiring a deterrent, but the total operative capability of the defensive force is much more important than individual hardware components.

I wasn't claiming a modern fighter is not a critical part of this equation. I was merely asking what does actually "best" mean in this case. If I get you on my fire control radar and you get me on yours and we both fire missiles, it seems to me the missile and the radar is far more important part of this equation than the avionics platform where they are.

So, practical tactical features...

Deterrence is very different than ability to project operations around the globe. I'm not sure that the Swiss Air Force, or air forces of smaller countries in general, is an effective deterrent.

As it stands right now, the Swiss Air Force is a 9 to 5 operation, and they operationally can't answer threats at night. Not sure that fancy F-35s would change that...
And yet so few of the designers consider dark/black colour themes, which are not only more easier on the eyes, but also notably save the battery.
No, their i.reddit.com is the best variant and its extra light-weight probably for weaker devices.
As long as redditors can choose between the designs I don't see a problem. Once this choice is removed though they've veered in to Digg territory. All the power users and influencers will use the old design because they're used to it. I can see why reddit wants a redesign -- reddit is ugly but people are used to it that way and grew to like it. The redesign is for new users.

Reddit has already been down this path with Pao. If they don't like how the site is being run they will depart or revolt.
How can there be a law that prevents running abritary code on my own box?
I don't. I assume any service I use has the policy that they'll sell any and all data they collect to the highest bidder. (And the lowest bidder, and anyone else willing to give them a few cents for it.)

Reading and parsing 10 pages of legalese (which I can understand but - not being a lawyer - am never sure I understand all the implications of anyway) is just not worth an hour of my time if I'm willing to accept the worst case scenario regardless.

I suspect this is also how most internet users solve the problem. A privacy policy is a CYA document for the website/app owner, nothing more. It's vanishingly unlikely that you can make it any sort of selling point or competitive advantage for a website or app unless you're in a tiny niche specifically targeting extremely technically and legally savvy users.

If there were an expectation that every privacy policy be prefixed with a bullet point summary in plain simple English, I might take a different approach.

Why hasn't there been a focus on multi-role fighter drones? Is there a responsiveness problem or a contextual awareness issue?

I would think that most of the cost of this F-35 is dealing with the problems caused by putting human in the middle.

Having multirole drones would lower the cost a lot, and it would actually likely increase its theoretical effectiveness because you wouldn't have a pilot scared for their life in it.

It would be so scary to go up against a drone multirole fighter, it could pull off the craziest multi-G moves, and it would be fearless.
