There are codecs which make Bluetooth audio suck less, but they are a fragmented mess. The two really popular ones are AAC and AptX. iPhones support only AAC while Android phones might either not support either or support only AptX. Sony has its own proprietary codec LDAC which only works with their headphones. To make matters worse, not all headphones support both AptX and AAC.
The reality distortion field, of course.

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

> Reality distortion field is a term first used by Bud Tribble at Apple Computer in 1981, to describe company co-founder Steve Jobs's charisma and its effects on the developers working on the Macintosh project.[1] Tribble said that the term came from Star Trek,[1] where in the Menagerie episode, it was used to describe how the aliens created their own new world through mental force. In chapter three of Steve Jobs, biographer Walter Isaacson states that around 1972, while Jobs was attending Reed College, Robert Friedland "taught Steve the reality distortion field."

If addiction = a disease then doctors not prescribing opiods at every turn = doctors learning to wash their hands.
> I could imagine a post-quantum computing era where it is even possible to know, with certainty, if you have been hacked, or data breached, because of quantum cryptography.

How so?
(Because none of that seems to even remotely have anything to do with quantum cryptography. It's a key exchange - and one with some very bad properties I might say, because it assumes a hell of a lot of things already existing like an authenticated channel. But it does nothing to detect breaches or whether you've been hacked.)
You see that’s why it’s hard, _because_ they’re a trillion dollar company. Big change takes time to percolate.
> Designing software for 1,000,000,000 users is an entirely different ballpark than for 1,000. Different trade offs, different restrictions, different everything.

This is in part what I meant by different mindset.

For web developers, dealing with the complexity caused by massive scale is inevitable, and yes, for them it’s different everything.

Desktop and mobile developers are essentially shielded from that complexity by slow networks. It’s technically possible to VPN into DC and write mobile apps as they were a server app, but even ignoring security considerations, this is usually wrong approach. Within DC you have 0.5ms latency, over mobile Internet it’s 200ms best case. These 2-3 orders of magnitude make great difference on how you should design software.
This sounds interesting, does someone have a non-paywalled source?
There seems to be a lot of misunderstanding among policymakers and even medical staff about how this stuff works in the real world.

If people are in pain, and professionals are shaming them - basically saying 'suck it up, sissy' - when they dare to mention this, what do you they're going to do? I can guarantee you a great many will seek relief on their own terms, i.e. alcohol (cheap and available nearly everywhere!) and street drugs-- with doctors & their staff at that point being completely cut out of the loop. Are you going to tell your dentist that you drank vodka to dull the pain after your root canal? Mostly no. Is that better for you than hydrocodone? Unless you have other non-standard risk factors, also no.

I fail to see how this is better than honest dialogue between doctor & patient where each person's treatment is realistically considered on an individual basis. By all means withhold inappropriate, ineffective and dangerous treatments-- but tell your patients what you're doing & why, and don't lose sight of how they actually behave in response to this. Sometimes that response is far worse than whatever you're trying to save them from.

It's for engineering leaders. We don't have anyone who is the "CTO of a company of 1, just out of a bootcamp", but here are some of the profiles of people we have:

1. CTOs & VPs of Engineering of VC backed, bootstrapped, or publicly traded, companies with employee counts of 10-5,000. This makes up the bulk of the members (probably 90%).

2. Engineers who have started their own companies as CEO. They're engineers, have been their entire life, and still do some coding because they love it, but now they happen to also be responsible for other stuff. (5%)

3. CTOs of new startups, out of an accelerator (usually Techstars, Boomtown, or YC). They're teams > 3, so this type of CTO still does a fair bit of coding, but also manages a few resources (either FT, PT, or outsourced) to get engineering done. Their goal is to learn from all the experience in the group. (5%)

It’s literally not double the price. Office 365 is $5-15 depending on edition (Business Essentials, Business, and Business Premier) and if you do an annual commitment. That’s the same price range as GSuite which is $5 to $25 depending on version (Basic, Business, Enterprise).

Any limited distribution of content (limited editions, privately commissioned works, etc) absolutely has to do with copyright law (IMO of course).

This principally is for Amazon China and not the US where despite years of complaints Amazon has done little to visibly counter the same effects and issues.

To wit: "In exchange for payments ranging from roughly $80 to more than $2,000, brokers for Amazon employees in Shenzhen are offering internal sales metrics and reviewers’ email addresses, as well as a service to delete negative reviews and restore banned Amazon accounts, the people said."

While not holding my breath, I hope amazon USA will take its issues in the US seriously and mitigate fake reviews and the issue with comingling bad and good inventories.
What do you like about it, besides just not being Google?
That's like saying you start a company by yourself and you can't call yourself a CEO. CTO, at any size, still has a lot of concerns that aren't just code level, so the title is valid.

However, context is very important. Anyone that looks at someone's resume and sees that they're the CEO of a single person company will understand that they're on a different level than the CEO of a publicly traded company.

EDIT: the other thing that gets conflated here in these title discussions is non-technical founders thinking they need a CTO, when really they just need a lead developer. That definitely muddies up the conversations.
>If I sell you a washing machine and it breaks for whatever reason under statutory warranty, I am responsible.

Eh? This never happens. It's always "Product is under manufacturer warranty. Go contact them".
Such a shame nature lends it's name to this absolute drivel. There are reasonable 'mainstream' explanations for the crash. I was fortunate to attend a lecture at my alma mater on that. It had to do with insurance and the difficulty of doing risk analysis and communicating this down the line. The only thing she is right about is that economics is not as exact as physics. But that should be taken as a sign to develop better numerical analysis methods rather than to embrace 'that's just your opinion man' level bs. She does not belong in science at all.
Electric cars are objectively superior to hydrogen vehicles in pretty much every metric that matters.

The only ones remaining who want hydrogen are legacy manufacturers and energy companies, since it guarantees them a seat at the table (hydrogen infrastructure would be hard, expensive, and large)

Meanwhile almost everyone has 220v electricity to their house.

Doctors in the US were getting kickbacks for prescribing opioids. This incentivized prescribing opioids for all types of cases that wouldn't normally need it, and led to "pill mills" flooding neighborhoods with drugs. Big pharma is behind the crisis in the US.

That was true a couple of years ago. Now apt-x support is pretty common even in $20 niche. You can buy FiiO BTR3 for $50 (at Taobao), and it supports everything from apt-X (HD and LL) and LDAC (contributed to the Android Open Source Project by Sony) to Huawei HWA, works as USB-DAC too, and you can plug your favorite headphones into it.
Yea I think Nuxt must have started out with different priorities/tradeoffs than Gatsby did because Gatsby has the idea of sources which gives it a nice structure for specifying what processing/data fetching needs to be done at compile time vs at run time. It's super easy to just add a markdown source plugin (actually markdown support might be built-in) and it will compile it to HTML when your run the build and not on the client. There a ton of source plugins, but if you had to, I think it would be much easier to write one and use the provided abstractions than to write the pre-convert function you are thinking of.

You mentioned TTI (time to interactive) as a concern but that is a metric the Gatsby team seems to really be aware of from the beginning and I think they've done a pretty good job of dealing with it so far, see: https://www.gatsbyjs.org/blog/2017-09-13-why-is-gatsby-so-fa...
In general though I've found client-side hydration to work pretty seamlessly in both React and Vue. I'll be shipping my first (non-trivial) Vue Server-Side Rendered app to production soon.

I think Gatsby would do a pretty good job even for content-heavy sites. It's built to try to only render the critical-path items. If you have a content-heavy site, you most likely have implemented some sort of summary list and pagination and only the first set of links on each static page are going to be prefetched by the browser. So it's not like you have to load all the data up front (and you probably shouldn't for UX reasons), you just have to organize the data appropriately like you would for any other kind of site. I've found that Gatsby's graphql interface makes doing these things a breeze compared to my previous React experience where I've had to mess around with state management libraries like Redux.

I'm confused by what you meant by "you can't take advantage of your framework to generate image tags". Is this in the context of Nuxt processing markdown on the client? Like I mentioned previously, this shouldn't be an issue with Gatsby and there are some cool plugins that, for example, allow you to process images in markdown during the build so that they are lazy loaded and initially show a low-res geometric representation of the image.

I can understand your hesitation to want to work with React though. I was hesitant at first. I would get annoyed at writing JSX, but once I got used to it, I found it tolerable and on rare cases I actually prefer it now.
I couldn’t agree more—I would add live below your means because you don’t want to get used to that lifestyle/level of income where it would be impossible to step back later if you wanted.

What's "hard"? Over millennia the sharp corners that make learning and using a language difficult have all been knocked off. Characters that are hard to recognize fade out or are modified. Grammar simplifies. And as an existence proof: more than a billion people speak various Chinese languages, almost all of them learning them as children; probably close to a billion can read and write it to some degree, many with little other schooling.

You likely come (as did I) from a background in which such languages are quite unfamiliar but that doesn't make them harder or easier in general. John DeFrancis wrote a funny essay about the "Japanese plan to replace the Roman alphabet within their empire after conquering North America" as a parody of the people who think that the Chinese and Japanese should replace their writing with an alphabetic approach.

You may not realize how hard it is for many speakers to learn English spelling where spelling is more conservative (to preserve meaning) than more phonetic writing systems like German, Spanish, Korean etc. The terms are seemingly more obscure. In fact it's to reduce that problem that we violate English "rules" to conserve the declension of the original noun (e.g. felid/felidae) which is uniform when the term is a loan word common across languages.
Google.

My brother left a good job for a promising start up last year. Without getting into detail he wound up quitting a few weeks before they closed up shop. It started out great but quickly fizzled out due to the lack lack of a cohesive goal. It's a high risk that he took and lost. Now he's looking for work again. He regrets the decision.

YMMV but Google is a guarantee and a great resume stuffer.
It's definitely not a waterproofing issue. They have waterproof lightning socket with exposed contacts, therefore they can make 3.5mm one. Apple's rivals — Samsung and Sony both have examples of waterproof phones with 3.5mm jack.

I still don't understand it. WeChat, the Chinese messaging app, is the definition of feature creep, and still "only" 290.1 MB. It not only includes messaging and social network functions, but banking, shopping, taxi hailing, dating, and tons of other features. It's been compared to an OS of its own, you don't live in iOS or Android, you live in WeChat.

I think it is a combination of not caring - everybody working at FB has the newest phone and the fastest connections - and maybe not the best developers. Or maybe the developers are really top notch 10x developers that you would expect at a silicon valley megacorp, but they are incentivised wrong and have to push out new features as quickly as possible...

No open marxists that I was aware of.

Left/right dichotomies are completely useless when you get to the scale of an individual, so I had profs who had opinions that would be called left and ones that would be called right. Both in the same person.

That said, sure academy leans “left” - but i’d argue that’s because seeking knowledge is inherently liberal. I.e. if the present is good and we should not change (one definition of conservatism), what’s the point of persuing new knowledge/ideas?

But don't ask attendants - regardless of actual regulations, when in doubt on a technical point they will always err on the side of caution and tell you to shut it down.
Jack Ma summed it up pretty well — the US spent something close to $15 trillion fighting wars over the last century. China has been taking that money and investing it in building future economic advantage instead because it believes the wars of the future will be economic rather than kinetic.

Who do you think has a brighter future?
This is not just speculation. I live in a US state that recently allowed liquor stores to be open on Sundays. Biggest opponent of the law change? Liquor store owners. No increase in revenue, increase in employee and operating costs -- no win for them. That pressure to open if the neighbor shop is open means almost every liquor store is now open on Sundays.

Tmux is another one of those tools whose siren call I'd avoided for a good decade, continuing to rely on GNU Screen. Then, for the last time I reconnected to a split screen and screen lost my splits and tabs - it was enough for me.

Two years ago I finally changed over and I haven't looked back. At this point, when I encounter something where I only have screen I'm rather annoyed by it - and I've set my tmux key mapping to basically mimic what I've been using screen for the last 20 years.

For me, tmux replaced every single feature that I used in screen. On the other hand, I'd be genuinely happy if it existed on the older OSes I randomly have to frequent, even if it's understandably impossible.
Absolutely. I’ve kept my nano for years.

Effectively, yes. Curve25519 has a few tricks that make this hard to do: it defines a curve compression format that mandates using 32-byte public keys and uses a single-coordinate ladder. It has the same property that points not on the curve are on the twist, but the twist is also secure. Curve25519's main innovation was to make the secure thing the default and the obvious thing to do: it was not the first twist-secure curve, it was not the first curve to have point compression that forces a point to be on the curve or the twist, plain old NIST P-256 had both of thsose. We also had a 1-coordinate ladder for Weierstrass prior to Curve25519, but it was far less used than effective point compression. But it is true that it is not incorrect to use P-256 without point compression which makes it easy to have these sorts of problems, and it is incorrect to do so in Curve25519, because the spec encompasses more than just the mathematical object of the curve.

Curve25519 and its sister curve Ed25519 are really good at what they were designed for. Unfortunately people also use them for things that they're not good at, and then you get bugs like the Monero double spend. Montgomery curves necessarily don't have cofactor 1 -- so that's an example of a bug that could only have occurred on X25519.

Saying Jobs would have cut those is contrary to one important fact: Apple under Jobs did not cut those interfaces. He "would have" later? Why? Surrounding market conditions aren't that different. Bluetooth audio is almost 20 years old. A2DP was available mid 2000s.

Jobs certainly wasn't afraid of change but he also seemed to have an appreciation for things that just work, and 1/8" audio jacks & cables have a lot of virtues here. Seems likely that's why they stuck around through his tenure even though he could have put them on the chopping block in favor of wireless as easily as he did floppies and serial ports.

And the optical interface... there's a better argument it's recently become obsolete than there is about 1/8" audio, but far from being "just silly" it's a very concrete illustration of integrating a premium feature with niche utility neatly into the overall package. It's one thing that communicated that Apple was interested in using its margins to make sure the product wasn't just an experience, it was a tool that had the right affordances, the right blade on the swiss army knife for one stripe of professional/enthusiast.

Maybe a more common denominator approach will serve Apple equally well. Or maybe things like touch bars ultimately won't as meaningfully differentiate Apple products. Time will tell.

I don't know if this is a perfect way to capture interesting things. Many times I read the headline on HN and then go straight to the discussion.

What HN really needs is an algo that matches interesting articles to your profile. I use hckrnews.com to filter out the most upvoted and commented top posts. But I often find that things that interest me the most may not be the most voted or commented on items.

Apple saw that the horse was useful and then built the saddle. Not faster horses.

Once people had ridden a horse with a saddle, they didn't want to go back, and were willing to pay a lot more for having that saddle there regardless of if the horse underneath was the same, or even faster.
