There appears to be a list of 'sanctioned' apps. I like everything else about the design except this (finger print to show colour is awesome).

Why Uber and not Lyft? Why Google Maps and not CityMapper? Why spotify and not google play music? Why FB messenger and Whatsapp, why not just one or the other (or neither!).

Are the apps actually locked down, or are there just examples? If I end up using a different map tool can I install that one from the play store and use that instead of google maps for example?

It's called lobbying and it works in favor of the big money/oil companies. I don't want to name names, but "Bush administration".

The planet needs to move away from fuel and turn to sun/wind/waves. It is a slow change, but we can't wait for the oil companies to drain every last dollar/euro/yen/.. from us, before 'they do us a favor' on switching to sun/wind/waves.
Sytse, thanks a lot for being present in the community. It's most appreciated, and I always look forward to your comments.

With regards to your question: I agree with user kerny.

Stop packing stuff on top.

What I want from Gitlab is to use it to manage my repos. If you improve that aspect (which is already fine though IMO), you'll make me happier.

If you improve Gitlab integration with other CI tools, you'll make me happier.

If you improve your CI solution (which I found lacking when I evaluated it 1.5 years ago -- no idea how it's now), I still won't use it -- I explicitly don't want to rely on one, integrated solution.

In my experience, such integrated solutions are fine for a while, until they aren't. My use cases tend to expand to things the integrated solution doesn't provide, and them I'm stuck.

Do one thing, and do it well. Doing yet more things detracts from Gitlab's appeal. Personally, I wouldn't mind you utterly removing Gitlab's CI tool (I know, not gonna happen, and that's fine -- just saying).
Let alone that the app is abysmally slow on an iPhone 5s. Even if your inbox (not "done" emails) features 7 emails and 3 new emails come in, the app doesn't even fetch them fully and loads them one-at-a-time upon opening.

And the inbox.google.com web interface does the exact same thing! It also gets stuck for several seconds when pressing "done" on a lone email in a group, showing an empty group for a while until it realizes "oh, there are no emails in this group" and finally disappears.

The app should be SIMPLE and FAST and it is currently neither. I am really thinking about returning to Gmail fully and using some other client for iOS.

Quote: "With respect to the upcoming Gmail announcement, there are no changes to Inbox by Gmail," a Google spokesperson tells me. "It remains a great product for users with specific workflows and one in which we test innovative features for email."

My opinion: Does not sound confident for me... it will be a always beta product?!
I resist updates because so often they are driven not by the need to incrementally improve a product in terms of features and design, but by some "high up the chain" decision to turn a perfectly good product info a "platform", or a tool for ensnaring you ever deeper into the wider platform. See: iTunes, Skype.

These updates are particularly maddening, as they usually involve slick and chirpy new design accompanied by the maddening confusion of trying to figure out if the features you liked are dead or just obfuscated, and the feeling of disempowerment as your previously reliable software starts coercing you into all sorts of stuff you never asked for. It's a rather Orwellian feeling.

I'm not looking forward to trying to figure out what agenda this Gmail overhaul is going to try to push on me.

There is no average person. Different person have different use cases and preferences. No person wants known liked things to be removed or made less good.

Cost out of pocket and actual costs aren’t the same thing.

The overall health care is likely cheaper but you do pay for it your entire adult life.

So while they charged you $100 during birth (btw that’s extremely cheap a private room in a central London hospital without insurance copay is a few £100’s a night) you pay for that room from your first paycheck to the last.
I think it would be a good general rule (and I should do this more as well) to do a quick search for relevant papers rather than simply saying [citation needed]. It's a bit more effort but adds a lot of value to the response.
Best Open Source Video Streaming Script – Livza
This is why I use specific apps for critical things in my life and very rarely change them (even though I regularly try alternatives, just to see if grass is greener on the other side!).

For mail, Apple's Mail.app can't be beat: nothing else works as fast with my E-mail archive dating back to 1994. For programming, I still haven't found anything that beats Emacs.

Using apps instead of letting Google read my mail solves at least part of the problem. The other part remains, however — I dread new Apple hardware updates, as recently their "pro" laptops took a huge dive for the worse. I'm stuck on a 2015 model, waiting for them to regain their sanity and produce actual "pro" laptops with decent keyboards and ports that I can actually use.
Afaiac the whole point of gmail is that you don't have to get rid of anything from your inbox.
I am pretty sure you are in top 5% people by education, income and thinking. But people like you and me don't really count when we are talking Indian statistics. It is that farmer in Bihar who counts more.

As income levels in India rise this will rapidly go away. But then we are at least 30 years away from that.

P.S. These are not really big problems as the op-ed intellectual yet idiots make them out to be.

I'll probably stick to Inbox because the pin/sweep workflow is really nice, but snoozing was the real game changer for me and it's good that they've put that in Gmail proper now. The follow up thing looks nice too, that'd be nice in Inbox but could be tricky if messages are archived. "This has been pinned for x days" warnings would be neat.
For example, my setup:

Gmail: any email service

Android: root it, use a custom launcher and utility apps.

GMaps: Waze (lets you provide your own speech samples, even)

You don't have to secede from these whole platforms - just extend around them and reach into them.
Top Most Popular Application Development Software
>Products for the general population, like Android, Youtube, and Windows, will over time degrade more and more towards some lowest common denominators.

There's a problem with this theory though, that the utility of some of these programs is in how many users (and thus content, etc) they have

So we can't really "favor products that specifically target power users" as YouTube or Google Maps alternatives -- or, rather, we could, but they'd be weaker in the polish, content, user base department (e.g. Vimeo or some advanced Maps platform)
>There is no average person. Different person have different use cases and preferences

Even so, most people are more alike than different.

Same story with both of my children. C-section both times so my partner stayed in hospital for a few days. With the first one we opted to pay for a single room for a couple of nights, but didn't bother the second time. Total cost for both births was less than £200, and that was just for the single room.

The idea that people have to pay huge amounts of money for a basic human need like safe childbirth is very troubling.

Honestly, your rebuttal is equally very well written that it could have been posted as a top level comment by itself.

I now fully understand why there was a need for an originalist basis.

The majority thinks that intangible property (IP) rights are similar but not equivalent to tangible property rights, but the dissenting opinion believes there is no such distinction -- the two are equivalent.

This is the basis for the difference; the difference can thus be attributed to the economic lens through which IP rights is viewed, which is also the same lens they used to revisit and interpret history, so thank you for writing it.
>So why can't we have the option of using 'power user' interfaces?

Because that means more money and effort spend by the vendor to maintain 2 sets of interfaces (and extra flags and features they could just cut entirely),

and that for the benefit of a tiny sliver of its user base, and the worst and most picky at that.

And yet, it has had several major updates over different OS X releases, with new features that had been touted in the "new OS X release highlights" each time.

Calling it "the less updated software in the world" shows why companies do even more frequent updates, even when they aren't needed. To avoid appearing stale.
But you also do that in the US, you just don't benefit from it until you are 65.

When you venture into "people should change their mentality" logic you are likely to meet with disappointment. I am saying this with utmost respect for your thought process though. The very reason it is a common mentality is because "it works so far".

> this is a very specific Indian thing which I cannot begin to understand as there are already less women than men.

It is because parents just don't want to get rid of the daughter. They want to use her as a currency to get related to a much richer family than them. That is what makes it a far tougher market.

Think of it like this. You might think you get more sex as 20 year old because of your youth. But in reality a 20 year old is likely to sleep with girls between 18 to 20 year old. But if you are 40 year old your target set becomes 20 to 35 which is much bigger and very likely you might get more sex partners than 20 year old.

If you are a girl with income level X you want a husband whose income level is 2X. The boy can chose any girl from income levels < 2X. In fact higher up you are on economic level you can point your finger to a girl and pick her to marry.

The single "I am not getting a wife" people are essentially at the poorer spectrum they are not uniformly distributed. These are the people sending "show bobs and vegene" messages on facebook !

Isn’t dns hijacking a major problem? I could go to a Starbucks and setup my own dhcp server on my laptop. A certain fraction of the WiFi devices would probably pick up my dhcp given dns which would reroute requests to my own dns server. Nobody would ever know... or am I misunderstanding something about https?

Or if I was a malware writer I would discretely target hosts files or the local dns configuration - exploits in certain routers to try to reconfigure the complete local network and such.

It does work like that to some extent, since closing as a duplicate require a certain number of votes. But this could probably be improved as per the suggestion, as it seems many people have experienced inappropriate "closed as duplicate". It seems to be one of the major complaints in this thread.

Sometimes the duplicate is blatant, but in many case it is really a judgment call. In my experience I more often vote for "reopen" than for "close", so there are definitely different attitudes to what is considered a duplicate.

Alternatively, it could be the decision of the one asking the question. Just as they select the "accepted" answer, they could choose to accept or reject the duplicate as appropriate.

Home birth doesn't have to be unsafe as long as you have well-trained mid-people and easy access to a hospital in case of complications. An uncomplicated birth doesn't need a hospital, and most births in Netherland still happen at home. It works fine if your system is designed to allow it.
I hate update and always have.

New products are exciting.

Updates are what product managers do when they don't have any idea for a new product and want to justify their existence. It's like "reforms" in politics.

Successful products should be left alone.

Of course they never will, and we suffer. I understand that complaining about it is like complaining about the weather... yet I can't help myself.

Well, Apple went to Ireland just to get a tax break, and its desire to stay depended on future tax breaks.

It's not surprising that Ireland would want to keep being able to give the tax break: very small taxes from Apple (and other companies) is better than no taxes from Apple at all.

Senior level dev here (6+ years). My last job search was brutal. I aced my interviews but still got a lot of rejections. The feedback included

* the team thinks you’re a great engineer, but you didn’t show enough excitement about the company

* we think you’re a solid engineer but not quite at the senior level yet, it’s ok though, we reject 98% of our candidates

* we do a lot of code story telling at our team (I kid you not) and you weren’t a great story teller about your code

* the team didn’t get the sense you enjoy pairing and we pair a lot here

I actually think the real reason was poor personality match but companies don’t like being honest about that so they make up nonsensical excuses.

You're assuming changes have any utility towards people in general. There are times changes will be made because they benefit the service provider at the expense of the user, because the service provider's interests are not at all the same thing as the user's interests.

I realize it's axiomatic that 'to serve the customer is self-evidently the best thing for the service provider, because capitalism', but by now I think that is obviously marketing spin to cover actions in self-interest… no matter who claims it. Starkly, obviously false.
