Most infant car seats can be installed without the base in a car and typically connect with various lightweight (snap and go) strollers making portability via ride-share easy. There are one or two convertible car seat/lightweight stroller combos (for toddlers) that are very popular with urban parents who need to use ride shares. They are also useful when you travel via airplane. For example the Cosco Scenera car seat and the Mountain Buggy Nano stroller. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4LotN7k5T2Q)

I do hope that this works. One major concern I have is being badly burned by using Xamarin when it was a couple of years (4?) old. I hope they don't do that to github. Xamarin wasn't very elegant back then when those guys started it - it was a horrid hack. That makes me worried.
I would encourage you to check out more of the range. They vary quite a bit from the same plastic-y crap with vintage styling and some sincerely robust construction. I've been shooting on an X-E1 for several years now and I treat it like dirt, granted it's not quite like the good old days, but it's stood up admirably compared to the Minolta 35mm I was treating like dirt prior. (Coincidentally, that one's also an XE-1...brothers separated by 40 years.)

I'll agree with you though on the control interface for the lenses. I still often shoot my manual-focus Minolta lenses on the Fuji. The drive-by-wire focus rings just can't compare (seems Fuji thinks the mark of quality is stiffness when it's really about responsiveness) and the aperture ring situation is all over the map in the XF line. I sorely wish someone would revive those delightful knurled rubberized focus rings; but alas, I guess they've all decided "surely no-one really uses these?"
All companies have to comply with the law, but Microsoft sells lots of software to governments. They aren't going to put up a fight over end-user privacy if they make more money from gov't contracts than from privacy-conscious consumers. The financial incentives are completely different than for e.g. Apple, and I don't see how that is ever going to change.
Hi, and thanks so much for the feedback. Mado is still in development - including our product positioning - so we have plenty of work in front of us.

1. We are targeting U.S. families with young kids who live 50+ miles away from grandparents, including those who use existing apps because we they have usability issues that make it tricky to get together as easily and enjoyably as they can.

2. Then you're ahead of the curve. We've heard this feedback from lots of families, e.g. grandpa picks up on the iPhone instead of iPad and can't "transfer" their call, etc.

3. Parents tell us it takes a lot of texting to determine when is the right time to schedule a call with their folks and kids. Mado is designed to eliminate this.

4. We have built game playing into Mado (with more activities coming) and we're going to remove things that are distracting like picture-in-picture and red end call buttons.

5. We know little ones are tech savvy. Many, especially at a young age, don't have their own devices, so Mado helps them connect with their grandparents even if the parents are not home.

6. Can you clarify what you mean by "A buds kids will use Skype..." Thank you!
Unreal and Unity are 3D engines, OpenGL is a API on top of the graphics card driver much like Direct3D...they are both very different things!

Funnily, I have no clue what "meh" means.

1) The emoji has several possible interpretations/meanings depending on context, such as "I don't know", "I don't care", "indifference" or "shrug". There's this saying, "a picture says a thousand words". It applies here (nobody said the words couldn't be a few words in hundreds of different languages ;)).

2) The emoji generally does not require translation to different languages. It isn't universal, but its more accessible, and some emojis are certainly universal (such as :) which is a facial expression my 3 month old understands).

And if you use a USB-C device in the back left port on a 4-port 15", there's a good chance your MBP will fry it! Oh standards!
Have you actually used the API? When it comes to submitting geometry and textures (some of the biggest bottlenecks), it's exactly the same as in C. You pass a pointer to your buffer of bytes and they get copied to the GPU for you.
> we could just use any word or phrase in the same manner to the same effect. Written language itself is just contextual line patterns

No, we can't. There is an inherent visual component to emojis. A picture worth a thousand words, et cetera.

It's not an abstract idea mapping to an arbitrary icon; without prior explanation, many emojis make sense (within a certain cultural context). Kind of like how we can't replace the essence of giving a friend a gift or a lover a flower with words or an arbitrary icon. Apple understands this in a way few technology companies do.
The sentence, "math people and mad men" isn't a play on words, and "math people and mad people" doesn't make sense at all. Nobody uses "math men" in speech, this was done for a unique reason.
Its quite easy to supply your own, as long as you find a lightweight stroller to drop the car seat into. As I commented above, (sorry to be redundant): Most infant car seats can be installed without the base in a car and typically connect with various lightweight (snap and go) strollers making portability via ride-share easy.

Accelerating deliveries could be correlated with accelerating refunds. The faster Tesla chews through the deliveries, the faster it will encounter people on the wait list who hit a decision point of pulling the trigger on a Tesla 3 or not.
Hi there, and thanks for the feedback. Good idea to add screenshots to the website - we'll add that to our list. We agree a video would be great, and we have a video on the way.
As I said, I don't want to work with people that judge based on age. You should know the market, and if you see they're doing this, then just leave.
SourceForge is still a thing? Just kidding.
What you say is a recognized problem that the big companies that have their own emoji fonts work to progressively eliminate.
"God forbid they'd adopt some sort of open standard "

They did, when they adopted OpenGL and OpenCL. Years ago.

Apparently they've decided that those have outlived their usefulness.
I believe (hope) that OpenGL continues to be that developer-friendly API. Building OpenGL on top of Vulkan shouldn't be too hard, and it means we don't have to pointlessly deprecate and recreate the huge number of OpenGL resources out there.
I agree, and I think this is a valid reason. However, I think the author could have been more explicit about this (assuming that this in fact the author's reason for writing the post, and not a steelman)
I didn't say they did. My claim is that Apple deprecating OpenCL is a straightforward and uninteresting thing; it's a company that has no influence on GPU computing getting out of the business of a technology that also has no influence on GPU computing.

I work in data science too, and who cares about laptops. Desktop computers with GPUs, SSDs, and a lot of RAM are what you need. You can thoroughly bling out the hardware and the entire computer will still cost less than your monthly AWS bill to access a GPU. (This is all getting pretty irrelevant to Apple, though, who doesn't make such computers.)
I had the impression VSCode had the technical superior plugin system and I found it much more performant.

Atom had more plugins for some time, but they had mediocre quality.
> Yeah, which is hosted on Azure, a data center that Microsoft owns and employs guards for, and secured behind our standard corporate authentication. :)

Way back when, Microsoft used to host a bunch of auth servers for banks. A friend of mine mentioned an armed guard in front of the data center for that particular service.

I've worked on teams at MS where there was a (non-armed) guard checking everyone who got off the elevator, but before I joined MS I was once left alone in a room full of computers open to the Windows source tree, wearing my "do not leave guest unattended" badge.

Mileage might vary and all that.

It takes a certain degree of naivety to believe that. It also lacks a certain degree of critical thinking to not ask the question "but what if some people choose not to share?" or the even easier question "can any of this be abused?"

Sure; but users stopped buying computer hardware on specs last decade (or at least the mass market Apple is chasing). Macs aren’t even any more expensive than top-end PC laptops. They’re just a brand choice.
the notch...no 3.5mm aux...no OpenGL... the hits just keep on coming. Is this what passes for "invention" today? What's next, deprecating USB?
Just use a vulkan implementation of opengl.

OpenGL -> Vulkan -> Metal

I can feel the performance gains already.
> VSCode is not just (far) ahead of Atom,

Tutorial eco-system as well. When I jumped into JS development, all the getting started guides had Install VSCode as step 1.

So now I use VSCode.

I think this is more an general observation on human behaviour, I don't think there's any particular characteristic of 60's groups that led to more factionalism.
>from a company that has made the most successful movies ever and continuous to do so. They're doing something right. Instead of complaining, maybe, just maybe, we should consider whether we're the ones misjudging reality.

That's a rather silly comparison. I guess the same logic doesn't apply to Electronic Arts/Oracle/Comcast/<insert hated company on HN>. People seem to be giving them money, and yet people also simultaneously hate them. I think we can and should criticize things we don't like, but only if we're honest with our reasons.
but, but, the range :-(

It's actually probably fine for most people, but I have a long commute and it wouldn't cut it for me sadly.
> Having known so many people involved with Facebook for so long, I have come up with a phrase to describe the cultural phenomenon I’ve witnessed among them – ladder kicking. Basically, people who get a leg up from others, and then do everything in their power to ensure nobody else manages to get there. No, it’s not “human nature” or “how it works.” Silicon Valley and the tech industry at large weren’t built by these sorts of people, and we need to be more active in preventing this mind-virus from spreading.

My biggest frustration with CORS is that none of it is technically needed.

We could have skipped the whole thing if subresource integrity (SRI) had been implemented much earlier, possibly in HTTP 1.0, which makes its absence one of the great blunders of the web:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subresource_Integrity

On top of that, SRI would have allowed us to use standardized versions of libraries like jQuery and Angular from their home URLs, which would have reduced the initial load size of single page applications by megabytes via caching (because those libraries would have already been loaded long ago from other sites).

Which naturally would have led to content-addressable data, Merkle trees, etc which would have given us performance more in line with BitTorrent (at least for commonly used files/scripts).

On top of that, I'm not completely convinced that CORS avoids IP address spoofing, DNS poisoning etc. It probably needs to piggyback on HTTPS to be sure, which is a common way to avoid that can of worms so I can't criticize it too badly for that.

I should add that SRI has one critical flaw in that it's still vulnerable to user-posted content (like comments) trying to embed a <script> tag containing a fake hash in the body. I haven't been deep enough in SRI to know if it's possible to specify hashes off page, maybe someone knows? Otherwise we may still need something like CORS, or better yet, something that blocks further includes altogether rather than conflating the issue with focusing on where they came from.
They could be angels, this can still be harmful to devs. We could still be concerned about all of tech consolidating under 4-5 anticompetitive companies

On that basis alone, not sure how anyone can cheer this acquisition

They're still in business. Numbers look good. They also have advertising and telemetry on paid stuff that people would usually assume doesn't sell them out like free, ad-driven services. Windows, Office, and Xbox are valuable enough that customers will tolerate quite a lot before leaving.

The language of copyright laws lets content creators stop unauthorized usage/sale of their content. The purpose behind copyright laws is to let copyright owners make money of their content.

Copyleft licenses leverage the language of copyright laws to subvert the purpose of copyright laws: copyleft licenses roughly say you are authorized to do whatever you want to do with my content, as long as you let others also do whatever they want with my content.
I would argue #2 has turned out for the better. Googles store is a dumpster fire of crap, malware, and knockoffs. On iOS there is less crap and less knockoffs and generally no malware.

Steam link is weird, but I thought I read somewhere that they would have had to pay Apple 30% of in-app sales.

But long story short is that I am paying them to curate the apps.
Metal is a nice low-level API and you can have a tiny (<1MB) library, that can efficiently emulate modern OpenGL on top of Metal.

E.g. for WebGL purposes, all web browsers on Windows emulate OpenGL on top of Microsoft DirectX.
I use iOS also because of its strict regulation of appstore, and I'm definitely not the only one. Who will pay Apple for lost revenue after someone implements your suggestion, how are companies going to innovate without these funds (I assume your answer to the previous question is something like "that's just business risk" - no, it isn't) and how can customers such as me find their desired products if they're banned, arguably for no real reason (no one is getting hurt) at all?
>without taking share from other media

Why, from the mass market perspective (mp3, not vinyl), does traditional media need to go on at all? In the absolute limit of global ultra-draconian GDPR-style laws the capabilities of internet advertisements will at best be reduced to those of TV spots. If TV advertisements haven't already merged with TV over IP and the data market (and thereby become indistinguishable from online video advertisements), they'll just be replaced as ATT, Comcast, Amazon, Netflix, and the rest shift more and more to online platforms.

As far as I can see, unless advertisement gets regulated back in to the stone ages (not that I'd be personally opposed to that...), it's going to be down to Google, Google competitors, and highway billboards before long.
Microsoft has you use a Microsoft account to sign into Windows itself; I think they will merge Github in somehow. They might be trying to win over developers, but they'll want to cross-sell to MS ecosystem developers as well.

Starting with "any existing Microsoft account is now a valid Github login". Then maybe "you can more easily use VS (or VS Code) with Github and deploy to Azure, if you use a Microsoft account with Github" and "you can merge your Github account into your Microsoft account". Then "all new accounts on Github are Microsoft accounts, you can no longer make a separate one".

Whether they go all the way to "there's no such thing as a separate Github account anymore", not soon, but probably one day - they've been trying to centralize accounts between all their services for years and years, haven't they?
No not like DirectX because DirectX is optional.
Seymour Hersh's reputation has declined precipitously in the years since he was rightly hailed as a hero for breaking the Abu Ghraib story. He was pummeled for publishing, in the LRB, an all-but-refuted story claiming that the entire story about the assassination of Osama Bin Laden was a lie (he relied on the secondhand story of a retired, anonymous defense department employee for his sourcing; his home publication, The New Yorker, refused to run it).

He's promoted a number of other stories that, to put it gently, an unusual quotient of support-among- journalists over impact-if-true. Among them, he believes that USSOCOM is run by a secret cabal of Opus Dei Catholics, and that the Syrian chemical attacks aren't just false, but actually a false flag operation run by Turkey. He believes that the US actively supports Islamist terrorists in Iran and in Lebanon, and that the US trained Iranian terrorists (the anti-regime MEK) on US soil.

This isn't a new wrinkle in Hersh's career. Early on, he made outlandish claims about the Kennedy administration, including that the Chicago Outfit fixed the result of the Presidential election.

Two tricky things about Hersh are first, and most obviously, that he occasionally breaks a story of immense national importance, and secondly, that he tends to orient his reporting in directions that are both largely valid and under-reported. Kennedy was almost surely one of our more crooked presidents. The Bush administration probably did play some kind of footsie with the MEK. But that doesn't make any particular story he reports actually true; in journalism, you can't just end up in the broad vicinity of right.

Okay, this is my greatest concern with Linkedin and Github. For many (most?) dev job applications, not having a 'ticks all boxes' profile on both sites means pass on initial callback; and now MS controls both. What they purchased for so much $$ is industry branding mindshare.
Companies that complete with MS still use Windows, Sharepoint, Office 365, and OneDrive.

I'll extrapolate a bit on your post.

AIM/ICQ already had picture-smiley support, converting :) to a smiley. The first smileys on the internet were used in the start of 80's (they're apparently used in written form as well see [1]). It was used on IRC and e-mail.

Another fun fact of that time (80s) is that domain names and TLDs used to be written in CAPITAL LETTERS. And the first spam was from DEC (Digital Equipment Corporation).

Acronyms are very old (widely used), and useful, but that doesn't mean they're better because they're older or more used in the past. Remember that reading in past centuries wasn't for everyone, same for latin. Acronyms are language specific which emoticons/emoji are not. The acronym LOL, one of the first chat-specific acronyms, stems from IRC and is believed to be coming from Dutch (The Dutch word lol means "fun" or [non-sexual] "pleasure". The Dutch were one of the very first if not the first countries to connect to the USA internet, and same for its IRC presence.) If you're a native English speaker you may not give a rat about acronyms being English-centric, but for the rest of the world they often don't even know what the acronyms stand for or they have their local acronyms which you or me wouldn't grasp.

Emoticons and emojis do not suffer from that problem. Case in point, the red 100 emoji is widely popular in the USA (so I heard). People don't use it here in NL. But we understand what an American would mean with it.

I believe picture language (as I call it) plus on-the-fly translation devices (what Google Glass could've been ages ago but didn't work out due to public outcry) is going to solve communication in the 21st century. The effect of the tower of Babel shall be mitigated. Why are my glasses still dumb? All these brands being sold here, are ultimately owned by the same big fat multinational. There's a huge opportunity here.

Well, including laxative to judge how much people can tolerate before they get the shits isn't far off the mark from inducing depression.

FB - A little negative = meh

FB - More negative = major downer

FB - Totally negative = woah, look at the sorry state they are in now.

Cake - A little laxative = mmm this cake is special somehow

Cake - More laxative = nice cake, special, where is the roll of extra TP?

Cake - Dump it in = people home for days, the shits.

In both cases, not telling them is the ethics problem.

Basically the public trust boils down to people expecting others not to harm them. Depression can become chronic. The shits could damage someone requiring medical help.

Both are clear risks people would very likely avoid, if they knew.

FB - We want to run a depression test. Plz volunteer your feed and see if you get depressed.

Cake - We have a laxative that tastes great, but you might get the shits, plz have some cake.

See the problem?
