Ask HN: Experiences using React Native
For those who've adopted RN I have a few questions based off your experience.

1. Were you able to keep to a single codebase across the different platforms you support?

2. Have your users experienced any UX issues?

3. Have your users experienced any power issues? Have they noticed your app draining the battery?

4. If you had the chance to start over would you use RN again? Why or why not?

Myself and the HN community really appreciate your feedback and experiences!
Ask HN: Will Apple fix my 2017 MBP 13“? – Heat problem
So, Apple is fully aware that 2017 MBP 13" have an overheat problem. I still have warranty on it. A couple of weeks ago they said that the new update would fix it. I updated. It didn't change anything. Will they fix it/replace it if I complain at their store? Did any of you had any success?

Best,
Francesco
> they directly support them for 4 or 5 years

The 5S is entering its 6th year and will get iOS 12.
If you are really attached to such idea and would love to work on it, your best bet is to reimplement it on your own, with a new code base. That is if you didn't sign a NDA.
I think you are right. Their per barrel production costs were < $10 in 2016 and seem to be the lowest of all the producers [1]. When the price per barrel over the last couple of years was under $30, the US fracking industry lost quite a few jobs as I recall.

I was really hoping for a sweet new SE replacement. I don’t want a big phone but I do need to upgrade my SE’s battery and move on from a 16gb drive. What are my options?
Not sure what you mean, publishers are already suffering as a result of bad-actors parasitically attaching themselves to the incumbent digital advertising network.

Brave is offering publishers a solution to their dying revenue streams. First, by way of monthly grants (we give $500k/mo to publishers right now), and secondly through a better advertising model. Note, publisher ads is not presently an option; we're testing user-private ads, which are ads shown in a private tab, not owned by any website.

Well, I was referring to the definition of the web 2.0. Wikipedia says:

Web 2.0, [...] refers to World Wide Web websites that emphasize user-generated content [...][1]

So while in the beginning most users were also authors, there was a time between when there were a lot of websites which served content, but didn't let users add theirs. At that time guestbooks were to only place you could add content to someone elses website. To some degree message boards where the start of the Web 2.0.

Sure it is. You're the one choosing to give them your email address when you can just as easily give them a disposable email address with no value, so you're choosing to pay for something that's free.
I don't know if its just me, but TripIt feels like a polished iPhone app that was begrudgingly ported to Android.

That being said, I'm on Android and do use it to manage all my trip data. Prior to that, I was using various versions of Worldmate.
It's like that in defense as well.

It isn't practical or sensible to discriminate based on nationality. Like, it won't work, and in retrospect it will look as stupid as Japanese internment camps.

Because of strategic (cynical?) choices over how voter registration is implement, tenants have far less power at the polls.
Oil is not going away anytime soon. While there will be significantly more electric vehicles on the road in twenty years and gas and diesel vehicles will be much more efficient. There will still be millions and millions of vehicles burning gasoline and diesel. Plus that doesn't even factor in all the uses of oil outside of transportation and energy, for instance pharmaceuticals, plastics, nylon, polyester, asphalt, fertilizer, cosmetics are all mostly petroleum based.
The 5S is getting iOS12, and according to people running the beta it runs better on iOS12 than 11.

The phone was released in September 2013.

How many Android devices from 2013 are getting Pie, and running well under it? I'm guessing it's about "none whatsoever": Google can't be arsed to support its own device for more than 3 years (the 2 years old Pixel is the oldest Google-branded device getting Pie), and other manufacturers are way worse.
I'd like to know more. In New France, the majority was from northwestern France (Normands, Poitevins, etc.) but somehow they managed to settle on a language that is surprisingly similar to Parisian French despite the accent and informal terms whose northwestern roots are clear (according to the linguists that I've read). So did the colonists of New France build on the efforts of François 1er?

>> financially secure

I think the point of the article is that based on the current trajectory, a big chunk of the population will never get there.

I just searched this on Google:

> According to a 2016 GOBankingRates survey, 35 percent of all adults in the U.S. have only several hundred dollars in their savings accounts and 34 percent have zero. Only 15 percent have over $10,000 stashed away.

Well, there's one thing that could show the difference. If it's a true "purchase" then the first-sale doctrine, [1], should hold, which limits the rights of the copyright owner.

[1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First-sale_doctrine
When do I have a right to issue a chargeback against Valve? I enter a purchase contract that says that I pay them and they provide me access to a game (or some other item). If I believe they didn't uphold their part and I can't resolve it with customer service I can sue them. Nothing gives me the right to just break my part of the contract and take my money back.
Love lua. Luajit is stupid fast and the ffi stuff makes it a snap to integrate with other libraries. You can find Lua in neat places like nginx, redis, tokyotyrant...

I dislike the direction python has been going (twisted...i mean asyncio, type annotations, f strings). Lua is like a breath of fresh air.

Downsides are small standard library and 1-based indexing shudder.

My reading of this (and another article about it the other day), is that they haven’t constructed anything, just come up with a new experimental design that should theoretically be able to do it. Am I wrong?
Land is zero sum (which is why a Land Value Tax is such a good idea), but housing, which is what people actually consume is not. We have the technology to build more housing, just not the regulatory regime, which is what this article is about.

Here's a modern webring: https://github.com/XXIIVV/webring
I guess it depends, if you are keeping it to reuse in while it may be an issue. To use as a reference for future work isn't terrible as long as you aren't directly lifting code someone else wrote and putting it into your new employees codebase (thats what stackoverflow is for). My employer has us out everything on a public GitHub repo so access isn't really an issue but with corporate sensitive code it is a more difficult issue.
WorldMate was nice. Another nice alternative — at least as far as apps go — is TripCase.
As long as the old devices remain functional and available and properly utilized as hand-me-downs or resold into the market used, then having some subset of the market wanting to be on the "newest shit" isn't necessarily at odds with being environmentally friendly.

If a device is built to last and that means it spends 1 year in the hands of an early adopter and then 5+ years in the hands of someone more price conscious, then that's still better than being disposable.

I do question whether Apple is serious about this aspect though if for no other reason than how hostile they are to the non-Apple-first-party device repair market for their devices.
Energy independence achieved.

Except it hasn't been at all, because much of the oil is more profitable to sell and refine abroad than use domestically. So if we actually wanted to force independence we'd need to prohibit companies from exporting their oil.

I doubt that's ever happening. Watch the "energy independence" talking point evaporate now that the new millionaires have been minted. It's almost as if that's what it was always about, isn't it?
Yeah, not sure what is going on with there being no truly hand-sized phone available except the SE. You could fit a much bigger screen in that form factor, it would have a huge (pun intended) impact. Instead you see a bunch of bezel-less phones hanging precariously out of pockets.
You say this as their oldest supported phone is entering 5 years since release.

Instead of accusing them of designing for planned obsolescence, maybe consider the gigantic performance gains between each model for the first 5 years.
> The only risk in comparison to a physical copy is that Valve fundamentally changes or goes bankrupt

Or that somebody phishes your login data or that your account is banned for some reason or that the drm servers for a game you bought are now offline (you still have the installer, but can't use it anymore)... .
I also like steam, but it is still very much "all eggs in one basket" and while some of the games on there are drm-free many aren't. gog.com is better in that regard.
I'm pretty sure it's still the case that Zuck can effectively do whatever he wants with FB due to his stock ownership position. But that isn't really the point... nobody said anything about anybody doing anything "on a whim". And if these companies were to get serious about playing the long-game, instead of fixating on short-term fluctuations in their stock price, I believe it is the case that what I propose is actually in their best interest.

I understand that to a degree, there theoretically could be a better screen in a competitors phone, though I still think its tired out.

The constant "This is the best X that Apple has done, or the best X in an iPhone/iWatch" was seriously grating. Well, duh, new year, new products. If this wasn't better then apple wouldn't be releasing it....
> If your software is running on someone else's machine. And you want data exfiltrated back to you, normatively speaking, you should ANNOUNCE your intention, EXPLAIN it, and ASK for permission, this includes honoring their decision if they say NO.

Having rules this complicated and debatable as to when they've been violated is like having no rules at all. The rule that users should have complete read/write access to all of the software running on their own machine is enough.

For some counter perspective to point 1, I'm a white male in the Bay Area whose interests often place me in diverse groups, some of whom advocate social justice policies. I haven't noticed SJW/PC culture as an actual barrier to socializing and no one I maintain contact with has ever mentioned it as a problem.

Anecdotally, SJW/PC call-out culture appears to have a much more depressing effect on public discourse over the internet where posting opens you to criticism from anyone on the internet.
I know it’s a few years ago now, but when my youngest started secondary school in 2016 I gave her my old iPhone 3GS which I’d found in a drawer. It worked fine, just about held a charge ok for a day of light use, and to my amazement even 7 years later the App Store still worked. I was able to download a few apps I’d bought back then that haven’t been updated or visible to me in the AppStore in years. I got her a new phone for Christmas, but it was great to see my old friend being so useful and loved for a few months after all that time.
Aren't apps also crippled by ads?
I guess that if the current pricing trend holds, in 2030 the top iPhone will cost like a small hatchback.
I don't think that's necessarily true. The binary line at which we judge objects begins with the concept of sentience/self-awareness. If our cells work to do something bad, we can't blame them - they aren't sentient. If people work to do something bad, we can and have always judged the group - they are sentient and are capable of making decisions within a moral framework.
Me, too. Use FrontPage (later DreamWeaver), check code. Delete bit by bit what wasn't needed. Unserstand what the rest was doing. Iterrate on it.

For those who laugh: we didn't have any proper html dev dokus at that point. search engine still sucked. we learned html by copy&pasting&deleting&iterrating.
There may be "key frames", but given that changing aperture is a mechanical action, I can't see how they could capture the range short of shooting a (very short) video as the aperture range is swept.

The calculations are software - and they (obliquely) reference this by "made possible by the new processor".

It's similar to Portrait mode, where they were spinning it as "not done by post-processing", when in reality, a la Tesla and Autopilot, whilst not fitting most people's idea of post work (aka Lightroom/Photoshop), the camera generates a preview of the effect then immediately applies it post shutter release.

It's good to look for tools inside the car to help with breaking the window. The headrest could be used (though there was a Mythbusters debating this). The tire iron is good also if it's possible to access the trunk through the back seat. It might also be a good idea to keep a screwdriver or glass breaker in the glovebox.

That's why I installed Linux Mint on my parent's computer, it runs Firefox, Skype and Google Earth just fine, can download photos from camera, copy DVDs and that's basically all. No shitty antiviruses they can download and I can SSH to the machine to check what's going on. Nothing, if you're interested.
> I think most people agree, that if an employer has the profits to pay full time employees enough so they employees are not eligible for food stamps the employer has that obligation.

I'm not so sure that most people agree. (For example, I do not.) It seems that if most people agreed, we might be closer to a world where it was policy or law (another form of conditional minimum wage, perhaps).

Aside from the size, I'm more concerned at the prices of phones going over the $1k+ mark as the new normal. Sigh.

IP68 is neat. The second camera is also pretty important. The other differences between Xs and Xr I don't care much about. I don't particularly care about OLED.

I don't play AR games (and I'm disappointed nobody seems to have found an AR killer app. Those games are so lame.

Star constellation recognition is nice, but doesn't excite anyone anymore. But practical uses? Just today I was standing on the beach wondering whether the town in the distance was town A or town B (or if town A is maybe behind the curve). The phone knows my location, my bearing and has a map. It could label POI in display. That's the most practical use I can come up with right now, and I doubt I need the bazillion times improvement in their ML coprocessor for that.

I'm in the market for an iPhone right now. The event didn't wow me enough to really get comfortable with that kind of money.

But will I resist the voices in my head that say that the 7 and 8 are old? I was hoping for a price drop for the original X.
>However, what I think will happen over the next 20 years (with battery improvement, etc) is more and more hybrids and plugin hybrids.

I disagree. I think hybrids are a dead-end. They don't help electric car adoption, rather they hinder it because they validate every criticism about electric cars. Part of the reason why Tesla got as big as it did is because it didn't feel the need to argue for electric cars on gasoline-car terms.
> I am interested to see if they actually change anything about their process, software and hardware, to put any weight behind this claim, or if it is just marketing doublespeak.

In the same section she said they were already using recycled tin in the control boards, and their recycling programme had been improved too.

To be honest the sustainability part was the most impressive of the whole keynote, and is a reason I'll continue to be a loyal Apple customer.
There's more to bokeh than 'how blurred is the background', it involves things like "how many leafs inside the lens are you using to control aperture".

You can "simplistically" (although still nicely) simulate this, of course.
Why would they stop? They have people like Rene Ritchie who live and breathe what they say and repeat it on their website for other people who live and breathe it.

This write up doesn't seem to address efficient market theory, which is one of the chief demands driving adtech. The write up is more a list of complaints and harkens back to the good old days of out of home advertising, which is still relevant today, but moving towards obsolescence.

For example, their first point about Advertising not needing to be personal is disingenuous. Advertising needs to be relevant, and personalization is one facet of relevancy. A perfect ad is 100% relevant to every buyer it is consumed by, meaning the ad is personalized for each consumer. Is personalization necessary? Not if your goal is inefficient advertising.
What Is GitOps Really?
iOS 10 and 11 were definitely guilty of making older devices slower, but Apple effectively admitted that was a mistake since one of iOS 12's big selling points is that it improves performance for older devices. iOS 12 supports all the same devices as iOS 11, nothing was left behind.
> rent will not drop, because the developer has to make payments on loans and maintain a profit

So, you're saying that if the developer has costs of X $/mo month, then in a oversupplied market, rather than take, say 0.8X $/mo in rent and have losses of -0.2X $/mo, they'll refuse to rent at all and take losses of -X $/mo?

Why?

UI performance in Androids is decent these days. Privacy, well... no.

Even within the Android ecosystem, it's very sad that innovation is stymied. The only ones that even try are LG and they always fall flat.

There's a long list of different Android phones I'd like to see:

- Keyboard / Accessible phones. My mother in law has some disabilities that prevent her from using a touch-phone and she's using an Android phone with keyboard for messaging. Once it breaks, I'll be hard pressed to find a replacement

- Small size phones with decent specs. Lots of people are very vocal about that, a current coworker spent a lot of time searching and got frustrated, the only small phones available were basically dumbphones

- Specialist phones, I can't believe we still don't have phones with physical camera button and better swappable lenses (I think Sony tried that one, and there are some add-ons).

Sure there are a lot more undeserved niches.

All of the heavily populated areas in Japan have a similar climate and risk of natural disasters. Those factors are much more variable in the USA. A building code that works in San Francisco to protect against earthquakes would be ineffective in Miami where the risks are flooding and wind.
