Does Safari have a night mode? Most of my work at night is either in Mail (which should be relatively easy to enable night mode on) or a web browser. Obviously, third-party browsers will have to decide whether to support night mode, but I wonder if Safari will have support when Mojave is released.

I imagine it won't be trivial to do this, especially on pages that have a background image. You don't want to invert it, but leaving it as-is would ruin the night mode effect. Plus, you have to maintain sufficient contrast with foreground text.
I began the process of creating an Azure account recently and somehow the Canada region was selected. The system locked my email address into Canada even though I already have a US region live account with the same email address. Since I don't have a Canadian zip code, I can't submit billing information and complete the provisioning process. I was willing to try Azure for a new project, but now I'm not because their accounts are such a mess. I talked with a project support technician for Azure who actually understood the issue but was unable to resolve it suggestion I use a different email address. I know I could, but on principle I won't.

I'm actually really excited about MS+GitHub, but have to agree the account situation sucks.
I don't think Tesla is doing anything novel with their batteries. Aren't they made by Panasonic? I guess they're packaging them in novel ways, but I don't think there are any fundamental breakthroughs.
{Emancipating,Respectful,Organic,Common,Empowering, Liberating} software come to mind. But I really like Libre software.
I have friends that have lived in the national forest for a significant amount of time. Know people who live in cars and RVs in cities. None of them are mentally ill or drug addicts. I know techies and rednecks who are held back by the cost of real estate.

The world needs a modern homesteading act. Give people small parcels of land with limited restrictions.

Real estate speculation/investing/absenteeism has jacked up prices in a lot of areas. This excessive ownership by some is subsidized and allows rent seeking and perpetual wealth growth. Land is not capital. Land is limited. Bare land should be free.

Been waiting for a proper dark mode, this is awesome. Also group FaceTime will be good.
Night Shift (and perhaps Dark Mode as well) work to decrease the amount of light towards the blue end of the spectrum as in the evening to mimic the natural spectrum shift and help people sleep, rather than mimic bright mid-day light. It's not to reduce eye fatigue and get people to work more: it's to help them relax and sleep better at night. Here's an article that discusses it in a bit more depth.

For last 7+ years, I am focused on iOS and macOS development. Released more than 20 iOS apps and a few macOS apps. I have strong knowledge of Objective-C and used Swift since first beta. Built a lot of custom UI, transitions and animations on top of UIKit, always striving for clean and seamless user experience. Active Git user and open source contributor, author and maintainer of libs and tools downloaded more than a million times.
Both are programming languages. :)

Nim has GC, looks like Python and compiles to C (or JS).

Myrddin has manual memory management, looks quite distinct (but I'm sure it borrows from many languages) and uses QBE as a compiler backend so it just produces binaries.
For what it's worth, I've been using Gogs for several months with no problems.
I think the biggest thing suggesting they couldn't have gotten into the black is the fact that they had been looking for a CEO for 10 months and still hadn't found someone. I'm not entirely sure why they couldn't find anyone, perhaps they were just being picky, but it certainly didn't look good.

On stage Craig answers the question “will macOS and iOS merge” with a big NO, at least for as long as the guy is still with Apple.
With all due respect to the guy but asking him is the equivalent of asking some random person on the street. He isn't an economist, civil servant or researcher who has actually invested significant thought on the matter. He is just someone who founded Apple decades ago and hasn't done much since.

Also it's really just a terrible idea. The volatility, the fraud and ease of theft, the lack of connection to something physical, the fact it undermines banks whom serve an important purpose. No thanks.
​The Killer Chromebook: Google's I7 Pixelbook
Bigger tech companies not only do not host important private source code on Github but won't even host on outsourced physical servers. Where I've worked (incl. well-known names), information that we wanted spread to the world could be hosted on trusted external systems (trust still mattered to keep it from being "edited"), but non-public info was always hosted inside a physical building that we owned watched 24/7 by human guards we employed.
I'm sure there was an expectation that some percentage of pre orders would refund. I don't think the fact that 23% we're refunded should be used to say Tesla lost customers, considering they're still plus several hundred thousand pre orders.

At the end of the day Tesla was able to guage demand, get hundreds of thousands of orders placed (even with the refunds) and get millions of dollars to use for investment/production.

Yeah ideally for Tesla no one would all for a refund, but I'm sure they expected some and this still seems like a big win for Tesla.
one side note: the WWDC18 video on apple's website is wrongly linked to the video of previous education event in Chicago
Can you start your own product and compete against these ?

Also, technically, Twitter has 336 million active users per month [1], Snapchat has 200 million daily active users so we can easily double that amount for monthly usage [2], while LinkedIn claims 550 million users, but the monthly visits are about 100 millions [3]. Whereas Facebook is indeed 2.2 billion monthly active users [4].

All of these three huge players combined still only add up to less than a billion, notwithstanding people who are counted thrice by using each platform. I'm surprised how huge the gap remains.

The first thing we as developers need to realize is that we are useful to platform owners as long as we are useful to platform owners. There is an old saying in business, "some customers are more trouble than they're worth." A harsh reality for developers reliant on ads is that it's entirely possible that we would be more trouble than we are worth. The revenue we generate for Apple via ads, frankly, pales in comparison to the revenue generated by the big IAP games for instance. (And I won't even bother sporting with the intelligence of any HN users by exploring the revenue gap between ads and hardware.)

Point is, if Apple wanted to go "evil", if they wanted to go for a knock out blow here, they could. It would probably benefit them in the end. To be honest, I could even see a LOT of other (NON-Ads based) developers loving it. As it would result in the removal of a lot of ads based riff-raff from the store.

So would it good for US? No.

But would it be good for a lot of other very important stake holders not to mention Apple itself? Absolutely.
This issue has nothing to do with pro or consumer. It has to do with the differences between optimizing for GPU runtime presentation vs optimizing for DCC author time modification. USD and USDZ were explicitly designed for use in DCC pipelines and the docs for the format are very clear it was not and is not intended as a runtime format.

As other posters have commented here, glTf is the current best practice for runtime delivery formats (and, by extension, glTf would be a terrible choice for author-time DCC Data exchange, for exactly the same reasons as why USDZ is better suited to authoring than delivery).

Moore’s law and computers getting faster won’t make USDZ a good runtime format. glTf will remain the better runtime format and USDZ will remain the better authoring format, because that’s what they were designed to do well. As someone else observed, it doesn’t matter how fast your browser gets, no one is going to recommend you populate your website with PSD images, because PSD is an authoring format not a delivery format (and likewise PDF is an equally terrible authoring format but a great delivery format)
Well, I get excited about this stuff. I really like Telegram because of the stickers. I get stupidly excited every time I find a new sticker pack I like.
No, but it was always a "may happen, may not happen" thing.

WWDC is about software first and foremost. This year they decided not to dilute it with anything hardware.

That wasn't a given, but it wasn't surprising, either.
Check ebay. I recently bought a 2013 Mac Pro off ebay for a good price. My 2009 Mac Pro was no longer supported. I figure the 2013s will probably have another 5 years after whatever new model they come out with next year.
Users, absolutely. Some apps have already done this (Deliveries and Paprika Recipe Manager come to mind). But it's a ton of duplicated effort right now to do that. Paprika's Mac version costs $30 to compensate. There's much less competition here; iOS has a bunch of recipe managers but as far as I know this is the only one with a companion Mac version.

Maybe Facebook will make a Mac client for Messenger (messenger.com works, but some people might prefer a desktop version). Maybe Netflix will have a Mac client (they already have one in the Windows store). We could get Google Maps as an alternative to Apple's native Maps app. Slack could throw away their Electron battery-guzzler and replace the Mac version with one based on the native iOS codebase.

Not every app wants or needs a Mac port, but there are plenty of cases where it could be useful.
How many physicians have said they will use or even better pay for this product? until you've got at least some yeses I would go back to stage three.

Yes. It's a software conference.
I was thinking the same. Oslo also seemed incredibly low when I did some research. In both cities you can easily spend $30 on one dish in a regular restaurant.
Ubuntu Mate 1604 Powerpc, works perfectly on the G5.
Even better would be to adjust the expectation (or resignation) that an app/company has to send so many notifications in the first place, whether it's through push notifications, email, or some other channel, and has to constantly try to keep you 'engaged' in order to satisfy their metrics. I'm not sure that would change any time soon so the only easy way forward is to build software that mitigates it.

I'll happily welcome any small step to improving this situation, whether or not Apple shares its responsibility in causing it. It's better than the alternative.
That and I think many people were hoping the keyboard issue would be addressed in some way, which didn’t happen.
I’m a Mac user who used Linux for years and windows before that. I don’t miss the borders anymore.

Try to use the keyboard shortcuts to switch windows. Even if you always have a hand on the mouse/pad, your other hand can still be your keyboard commander.

If you’re convinced to keep using clicks to switch windows, look up the gesture to zoom out so you can see the whole windows and the click.
The Bolt, Leaf, and i3 are all fairly ugly. Most of the people I know waiting for Model 3s are doing so in part because it's actually a decent to good looking sedan, and not a weird jelly bean hatchback.
Yes, hardware refresh normally comes later in the year (September).
And OpenCL too. This is terrible. I was thinking about adding GPU support to a numerical simulator I am working on, and I was planning to have nice cross-platform support with OpenCL. Whelp, that's no longer the case. My code is in C++, and I refuse to use proprietary, vendor-locked, Objective-C-only Metal. If people want GPU support, they'll just have to use Linux, which doesn't artificially constrain you with corporate frameworks.
Even with best intentions from both sides, acquisitions don't go well in a lot of cases.

It's quite common to have the following scheme:

1) nothing significant happens for 1 to 2 years, the big company slowly integrates the smaller one.

2) historical dev/ops starts to be tired of the heaviness of the processes and all the politics going on in the big organization. After 3 to 4 years, they start leaving, and knowledge begins slowly to get lost.

3) new features are slower to be pushed in production, often with major regressions.

4) after 5 years the service is becoming more and more unstable and/or is not evolving anymore.

5) after 7 to 10 years, the product is killed-off or put in limbo.
Obviously they have spies ;)
>I imagine diamonds need to maintain some minimum price point in order to sell, after all, they are a luxury good.

Yep, but only (or however mostly) because of the DeBeers marketing.

> And a 10x margin is high enough to not raise eyebrows, but low enough to undercut the competition.

My eyebrows are raised nonetheless.

We are not talking of technology, design or "brand" such a Mustang or a Lamborghini, we are talking of (almost) RAW materials, not entirely unlike gold or any other "mined" material.

As an example in Napoleon III times, aluminium cutlery was a "luxury" item, because the metal was more valued then gold.

Reference:

http://www.todayifoundout.com/index.php/2014/05/aluminium-co...

(coincidentally the above article talks in passing-by of diamonds, citing a report thaat is giving completely different valuation of the diamonds market, so maybe the numbers cited are completely off )

From a regular ($DAYJOB) GitLab.com user: this is hyperbole. GitLab.com is slower than GitHub.com, in general, but not "very, oh very" slow.
Always interesting to see the divergence between HN and what the average user cares about. For most people emojis (and animojis) have opened a whole new way to communicate with each other. I can't think of another linguistic feature in history which saw such widespread use within a decade and I feel like emojis don't get enough credit for that.
If a friend of one of my friends, who I am not connected with, can acces my private data despite my settings being clearly limited, with API access disabled, "friends of my friends" settings disabled, as was reported is possible, then yes that is ridiculous.

However your reply completely fails to grasp the problem, like so many others. It's not the fact that I type in a user/password and get my data, it's that, I type in my user/password and Facebook authorizes access to as many as 10,000 to 100,000 other accounts data, based on proximity to my account.
The differences are more in implementation than anything else:

- AppKit isn't layer-backed by default, requiring you to handle this. Something as simple as setting the background color for an NSView is far more of a ritual than it is for a UIView.

- NSColor/NSImage under the hood are different than UIColor and UIImage.

- NSTableView and NSCollectionView have big differences (NSCollectionView is more subtle, I should say) that rear their head when you start trying to do anything like you would on iOS. e.g, NSTableView doesn't automatically get an NSScrollView, grouped rows operate like headers but the underlying data structure isn't easy to share, collection view items are view controllers on macOS but not on iOS, etc.

- Delegate methods are entirely different, requiring you to #if check everywhere.

- Trying to use NSTextField like a UILabel is a trip, requiring you to understand an archaic NSCell architecture that you'll wish you didn't have to deal with in 2018.

The list goes on, and most developers that share code between iOS and macOS have their own frankenstein framework floating around. UIKit on macOS would do a lot to alleviate this.

Edited because, speaking of 2018... this should not be this annoying to format.
Built-in would mean they are actively at war with FB/Google. Safari's content blocker is their way to a) avoid the wack-a-mole game and let the blockers evolve along with their competition and b) stay somewhat neutral to their competitors.
So KDE Plasma 5.12 LTS, is the most innovative desktop? Reviewing their video on it did not blow me away at all.
I was in the same boat waiting excitedly the whole time.
Who wants to spend $40k for a little hatchback?

I have no clue why they didn't make a nice electric SUV/CUV instead. People actually buy those.
It was a huge controversy back in the day, with prominent kernel devs being very vocally against BitKeeper.

From Wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BitKeeper):

"The decision made in 2002 to use BitKeeper for Linux kernel development was a controversial one. Some, including GNU Project founder Richard Stallman, expressed concern about proprietary tools being used on a flagship free project. While project leader Linus Torvalds and other core developers adopted BitKeeper, several key developers (including Linux veteran Alan Cox) refused to do so, citing the BitMover license, and voicing concern that the project was ceding some control to a proprietary developer."

Not that it matters to anyone, but I do remember I found it shocking news :)
It's kinda hard to deeply understand how something work without being able to modify and experiment with it, but yeah, proprietary OSS is still better than proprietary closed source software.
Nope. Even Stallman distinguishes between free software, which includes MIT- and Apache-licensed software, and copylefted software, which is the subset of free software that requires changes to be distributed under like terms to the original software itself.

Of course RMS and the FSF would much rather you use copylefted software and copyleft licenses such as the GPL. But not doing so is not the inherent submission to evil that using proprietary software is, in their view.
You must be kidding...i3 an alternative to Tesla 3? I won't say anything about the looks but just considering the range should tell you there is no comparison.
Are you sure that was 80Gb? An 80 Gb disk pack would fill a small room.
Presumably because most people don't think that "going out and doing something" is inherently superior to "watching movies and TV".
> I wonder if there will eventually be guidelines about how many ads you can show users and now much screen real estate is allowed to be covered by ads.

Isn't that kind of what "acceptable ads" programs in adblocks are? (Or, at least, should be?) There are a lot of Adblock Plus users there that basically decided (or got tricked into thinking) that ads that are appropriate are okay to view.
Well, it implies that charge symmetry, parity symmetry, and time-reversal symmetry are different aspects of the same thing. I'm not sure that's quite "falling", though.
To be fair, they're experiencing an exodus from GitHub right now. Such events are not the norm.
Is the Stocks app still going to be powered by Yahoo? (I know the news will be coming from Apple News now)

No Kernel 5.0 Linus Torvalds Prefers Releasing It as Kernel 4.17 – It's FOSS
I am in a very similar position. I always answer truthfully and I'm open to the question, people are often just curious - I don't want to work with people who judge based on age anyways.
An iPhone is only as good as an ecosystem of apps. In your hypothetical, the only apps launched on iPhone would be those that are either paid apps or which have significant gating via in-app purchases. Many apps would just not develop for iOS if the business model doesn't work. Very quickly, Android would become the platform with a better ecosystem of apps. If 3 or 4 very popular apps are suddenly unavailable on iOS (let's say Snapchat, for instance), the next phone for many people will be an Android device. If Apple starts losing the high end of the device-sales market, they are finished.
Ah, the good old deserving/undeserving poor distinction. You say yourself that their "mental illness render them unable to participate productively in society", which is true - so why is this their fault?
I've been a user of gitlab for 4yrs+. Its a great tool and a nice alternative to github for all us crazy "i want to have code on-prem" folks.

That being said gitlab ce and its relationship to ee is more and more complicated. What started out at missing select features is now full out armaggedon of lacking features. See latest releases and youll see that all the cool stuff is comming out only to ee.

Whats even worse, the pricing is insane - some nice features are in the extreme tier that costs insane ammounts od money.

There was a time when we considered dropping all other tools and moving to gitlab. Now were actually migrating to jira for issue tracking. We're considering jenkins as alternative to gitlab ci. And if we see the rift growing too large, we'll move to phabricator (kindof sad we didnt go that direction 4yrs back).
The article doesn't cover that. Do you have any references?
Thanks! That is an excellent and relatively modern review article.
All in favor of these changes. Employing the user to control what is theirs is always good. The only part i do not like (from the power user perspective) is the auto save passwords. Prolly a good thing for the avg end user tho.
I'm sure that's fresh in the mind of many Mac users.
You joke but, for the vast majority of projects, it's kind of true. It's gotten to the point where, if it's not out of incubator, I have a really hard time convincing any one of my colleagues to put any time into projects hosted there.
We analysed 75K builds and this is what we learned about CI/CD
I'm curious about this – does it really matter? How important is it that the Operating System has OpenGL? Can't individual apps just static link to (and ship) their own versions of OpenGL?

"Whenever that happens the true feature is unannounced: it's simply stability."

Can't remember which version it was now, but I remember when Apple heavily marketed a Mac OS X version dedicated almost exclusively to bug fixes and performance enhancements.

It was very well received. I'm sure the same would happen if they announced they were dedicating an iOS version to bug fixes and performance enhancements.

EDIT: I think the version may have been Snow Leopard. :)

There's a great quote from the X-Files by Scully on this topic.

"Nothing happens in contradiction to nature, only in contradiction to what we know of it. And that's a place to start. That's where the hope is."
A big win for Tesla would be if they were able to produce the car at the pricing and timing they said they were going to. Right now it's at least 50% more expensive and way behind schedule, there is no way to call it a "big win". I bet taking deposits for a car that they have no intention of actually selling for years is a good way to turn a lot of potential customers off.
