Citation? Apple's official statements seem to correspond to anecdata that the problems went away after a battery replacement.
I've worked remotely for several years, but not alone. From time to time before that I worked alone (i.e. one-person projects) but not remotely. I think it's the combination of the two that's far more toxic than either alone. If you have either collaborators or people nearby, it's fairly easy to get your recommended daily allowance (whatever that is) of human interaction. If you don't have either, and particularly if your outside-of-work social sphere is also small, things can get weird fast. The sort of people who might once have been lighthouse keepers or custodians of some remote outpost might still be OK with that, but they're pretty rare. For anyone else, it's an almost sure route to depression or worse.

Scale way in the upwards direction. As you noted, it's great at small size. We can build ornithopters at the scale of this and bird sized devices, and they fly pretty well, but getting to man sized and airplane sized, would be quite difficult and inefficient.

I'm sorry, but I'm too lazy to answer all of your questions at the moment, though they're good questions. But generally the answer to all of your questions is "yes." (with the exception of the last question, which is "I don't know", but if you've seen a hummingbird or dragon fly, you know exactly how insanely maneuverable they are, and I don't know if I've ever seen better.

>If everyone is working more, more value is being created in total.

If (in a simple example) everyone works 40 hour weeks but then they start working 40hrs + 10hrs of gig work, if you remain just a 40hr worker you will fall behind not just them, but also where you were previously. A pie growing does not mean your piece grows, in fact situations where your piece is shrinking faster than the pie grows are the exact motivation that can lead to tragedy of the commons.

I'd say this example is actually a perfect example of tragedy of the commons, to twist your comment a bit to fit the canonical example given in econ classes:

If everyone is fishing more, more value is being created in total. So it's not zero-sum. You might then say "Yes, sure, but is fishing more really better than a culture where we fish less?", which I would agree with, but is more a cultural comment than an economic comment.

I hope that illustrates why it actually is more of an economic comment than a cultural one. Economics is more than just the rhetoric of doing positive-sum things.

It’s because 1) nobody gives a shit and 2) it would need legal review to make sure that it wouldn’t expose the defunct company to further lawsuits over copyright or patent infringement. That’s expensive and not worth it for a dead company
> If everyone is working more, more value is being created in total.

That's often false. It's very easy to create negative value, and it becomes easier the less you rest. It's also hard to measure when additional work starts creating negative value, so you can easily end up in a downward spiral of productivity as people compete for not just illusory but counterproductive gains.
The rumors are they're still doing one last ditch, Surface Phone due to the growing Surface ecosystem that is making them money and people liking it so far.

I'm highly skeptical of any "ergonomic" keyboard that doesn't use some form of columnar layout.

> I just don't seem to be in Apple's target market anymore.

I say this more and more each day. I'm in the same boat with the SE, and it's also the same with the MacBook Pros for me. I bought a refurbished MacBook Pro last October, the one from 2015, the last one with a great keyboard.

It seems that April 2016 was the peak of where Apple and I aligned.
Looks like CGI, and not a real product yet. Be careful when ordering.
As we live in a society, it makes sense to have a common day of rest - consider that schools, hospitals, public transit etc. are also resting. Plus your family and friends.
The iPhone X fits perfect in my hand. I upgrade from iPhone 6 and didn't notice any difference in size. Actually use it first.

When I have to use a button to open a phone now it feels like using a fax machine. It's so incredibly sluggish, slow and clunky.

And, when I look at an iPhone with huge borders on the edge (iPhone X goes right to the edge) it gives me claustrophobic anxiety because it's so small.

People are so afraid of change. Aside from the price, there's really no reason not to upgrade.
The state of MA had "blue laws" requiring those stores to be closed on Sunday.

I've used every iPhone since the 5, including the SE, and I think the X is the best phone they've ever made, so much that I don't plan on upgrading until next year's refresh.
I was very curious about this, found an interesting article:

https://reformjudaism.org/were-jews-slaves-egypt

Last paragraph: "In short, the biblical writers invented the idea that the Israelites lived in Egypt in order to impel them to maintain their distinctiveness in Canaan. And the story of servitude in Egypt is an allegory of servitude to Egypt. Our ancestors, among others, did perform forced labor for Egyptian taskmasters, but they were never slaves in Egypt."
Maybe just make it one row wider or taller so that it can have an escape and a `~ key simultaneously? The need to make these things so small that compromises like having to choose between esc and `~ is very strange to me. This is not a portable device.

I have had a Mistel MD650L for the last 6 weeks, and I didn't notice that it had the same issue as this one -- you need to press a mod key to switch between esc and `~. I use both enough that this is a major PITA. I remapped the "del" key to `~ for a while, but then I started to have to hunt around for that key on my laptop.

Better street design can improve traffic & flow with fewer lanes. My local muni has been converting super cramped four lane roads to two lanes plus turn lane and comfortable bike lanes. They are nicer to bike, nicer to drive, and back up less often (mostly due to the turn lane). Roundabouts on these roads have generally improved flow too.

None of these experience miles of gridlock like LA, but it's been enjoyable to see & experience.
Definitely sucky, I was waiting for and would have upgraded to an SE2 in a heartbeat. It's the perfect size and I really don't understand why folks no longer want phones that can be used in one hand or fits into a pocket.

I've conducted many interviews hiring for a growing tech company pulling from a large pool of new hires (4 major universities) as well as a metro with software pedigree.

With younger developers (or fresh grads) its about their propensity to learn rather than anything they've learned to do before, chances of a fresh grad having previously worked on something that would move the needle in 3 months are slim.

Reviewing their profile: prior internships and/or limited work experience offer are openers for how they might operate in a workplace, how they crack open problems and how well they handle the 'I don't know how to do this scenarios' (of which there will be many).

I refuse to whiteboard, so for the technical aspect, probe the keywords mentioned in order to ascertain what they were really accountable for and what is simply fluff, paying close attention to how they articulate their work and its impact at the company.

The rewards of a well-mentored junior developer are tremendous, though very time consuming at the onset, so make sure whomever you pick is a good fit that you'll be happy to work with.
So while I am sure the author checked this, it bears mentioning that disassembling CISC is more of a black art than RISC. You can feed any binary file into a disassembler and get x86 code out, even if that code is invalid.

Fwiw as a developer, being able to debug shaders, tinker with ARKit and have some sort of middle-ground baseline specs as my primary/everyday device is a huge win for me personally.

When „designing“ views I tend to face challenges from the other end of the spectrum: „what am I going to put here so there‘s not too much empty/negative space on the larger screens without making the layout look empty or clunky?“

Plenty of religious things are not superstitious, but based on real psychological needs.. people who dismiss them as pure fantasies are missing the point. New Testament is full of such things helpful for psychological maintenance and emotional well-being, if you can get the metaphors. It's why the stories and practice of them have survived so long (because the practicioners survived more frequently and/or saw the value in repeating/practicing them).

Pretty sure two out of three of those aren't really resting. You think hospitals stop working or trains stop running?

> it makes sense to have a common day of rest

Eh, nah. I'm mostly a social democrat, and I'd be all for better worker protections in general in the US, but I haven't heard any socialists or labor advocates pushing for "oh yeah, let's pick one day and force everyone to have it off". If nothing else, in the US this would be seen as a pretty gross abrogation of separation of church and state to make it Sunday (and every other day of the week would be even less practical).

People should absolutely have time off, but I think being more flexible is generally preferable.

I moved from SE to 7.. totally not worth it. I would have paid more for the SE form factor.
Any exception that bubbles all the way up to a request-scoped catch block indicates a bug in your handler logic. It should probably crash your program, or at least be reported as a structured event to your exception tracking system. In either case, logger.Info is sufficient to record this event in the application logs.
When I publish code about algorithms and data structures to my web site, I usually offer multiple language versions. Why? Because understanding the computer science theory and math proofs is a big effort. Writing and debugging my first implementation in any language is a big effort. But porting that code to a bunch of languages is comparatively easy and is almost a thoughtless mechanical process.

I had a 13 inch MacBook Pro 2016. Sold it. Went back to using my 2013 MacBook Pro. I have an iPhone 7 and I miss my headphone jack every day. The best phone I ever owned was the se.

Apple is happily going off in a nonsense direction where their products are less and less useful because they are less complete and therefore less “self reliant” as devices.

See that’s what people don’t articulate. It’s not that the design changes are bad. Some are great. It’s that the balance of great design and great utility is what made apple impossible to beat as a phone and a laptop, and then there was the fact that they were seamlessly integrated (something apple has still failed to fully exploit — their stuff could be mind blowing). This is what made the brand great, and I feel like people miss that part of the argument.

When you bought a 2013 MacBook Pro, you didn’t need to buy accessories because it had it all - hdmi, usb, etc. - and it was useful without any additional accessories and met or exceeded my needs in almost all circumstances. I didn’t need a dongle to present and I didn’t need a cable adapter to charge my phone. When I packed for a conference I would grab my laptop, a power supply (that I could trip over in hotel rooms while working with no worries and that neatly wrapped up), and an hdmi to dvi adapter in case the projector failed, but that was it. Now I feel like Apple has externalized all of that utility in an effort to boost margins or go thin, and it’s basically made the devices reliant on a host of adapters, both for phones and laptops (and actually the 2013 Mac pro was the same problem).

Apple needs to understand what made them great was that they weren’t the ultimate steak knife, they were the ultimate survival knife, and get back to building the most useful, thought out and self-contained devices like they used to. They had a sweet spot, but we’re going back to the Apple cube across all product lines again, and nobody wants that.

The pro computer failure and the move away from nerd needs to slab of glass has lost balance and is heading into design over substance. The pendulum needs some rebalancing.
Congratulations, and best of luck to you (honestly).

I completely agree with you that being the parent to a human child is harder, more work, more stressful, and that the stakes are way higher. I can absolutely understand feeling belittled and upset if someone tries to argue that raising a child is anything like taking care of a pet. It's not.

I don't think that this is the argument that most people who refer to themselves as "pet parents" are trying to make, but certainly some of them might be doing so. I think that that's silly and easily refutable.

However...

This whole thing seems too similar to the religious conservative argument that referring to gay unions as marriages was degrading the sanctity of their own marriages because of a word. That argument has always seemed pretty pathetic to me. The weightiness of a concept isn't diminished when people decide to recycle a word [1]. The sanctity of someone's marriage isn't defined by use of the word marriage. Similarly, the sanctity of human parenthood has nothing to do with how dog owners want to refer to themselves.

Language evolves, and it's usually pointless to fight this process. Sure, ambiguities that are introduced may be annoying, and you may get frustrated that you now have to clarify something when previously you didn't, but there's no reason for you to have the right to dictate how other people decide to see themselves. Trying to fight this with outrage and offense seems to me like shouting at a rain cloud for getting you wet.

If people want to refer to themselves as pet parents because they don't currently have or aren't planning to have children ("No, I'm not a real parent, but I am a pet parent"), leave them be. If they seriously want to make the argument that taking care of a dog is anything like raising a kid for 20 years, shake your head in smug amusement and leave them be. They're obviously wrong, and you know it. Hell, I even know actual parents to human children who also have a dog or two, and who consider themselves both parents and pet parents. They're clearly just trying to be cute rather than equating the two. Enjoy it if you think it's cute, or don't, and then leave them be, because at the end of the day, it doesn't affect you. It'll only affect you if you let yourself get upset by it, and that's just a really poor use of your time and energy.

[1] Obviously a lot more was/is at stake for the LGBTQ community, and I don't mean to belittle actual LGBTQ struggles for equality and acceptance by comparing them to the plight of people who want to be cute by referring to themselves as pet parents (there, I guess even I need to clarify).

It really is that simple. Phone makers are ignoring the basics. The ~60mm width of the original iPhone was not an arbitrary design decision - it's how wide it needs to be to get your thumb across the screen without having to shift your grip.
SV didn't lose to China; everyone lost to DJI.
Their competence was staggering (I think they kind of slowed down lately being that they're so far out from everyone; throttling their innovation a bit).

If DJI represents the future of Chinese corporations[0], many people on the other side of the ocean should be very wary.

[0] edited from "products". In fact what's so impressive with DJI is not just the products themselves, but also the design, marketing and branding, which is kind of an Apple/GoPro hybrid. They are not just creating immense value - they are packaging it the right way.
What about lanes on interstate highways on upgrades that mix 40 mph truck traffic with 70 to 80 mph car traffic?
Logging is one of the weirder cross cutting concerns, for many reasons but especially including the one you mention.

We had to roll back an upgrade last month because one nonfatal (but still pretty bad) problem was generating a ridiculous amount of log entries. We had no way to turn it off or throttle it, so we rolled back.

I have fantasized for years about a programming language with a small runtime that supports instrumentation of the code, not just for debugging and profiling, but for logging as well. Logging becomes a set of conditional breakpoints stored with or at least near the code and you can tweak them individually.

Something akin to applying the 80/20 rule to Aspect Oriented Programming.

We fake this by implementing logging frameworks that try to short circuit out cheaply. But it really only pays off if you can marshal the arguments to the logger very cheaply, and you still have problems with third party code, which can't know that you've got workarounds for problems they consider to be fatal, and are therefore so noisy at the WARN or INFO log levels that you can't see your own log entries (Apache Foundation, I'm looking at you).
