One of the simple things Google Finance never bothered to add is projected earnings date for a company. so frustrating.

Project earnings date, and past earnings performance (price effect) are 2 things sorely lacking. I do like the historical financials but man, I wish they showed the past five quarters, not 4. Sometimes you want to see how last year’s quarter changed quarter-over-quarter.

Sometimes I think the people who create these products don’t invest/trade stocks at all.

Broken Metaphor: The Master-Slave Analogy in Technical Literature (2007)
California basically already made all of the mistakes around immigration that the rest of the U.S. is currently making. We just did it from the 70s (the 1870s) through the early 2000s. That's how we know they're mistakes.

Maybe I'm doing something wrong, but shutting the lid of my MBP is not a good idea if I'm not planning to use it soon. The battery will be dead in ~1 week. Granted, it doesn't stay put for a week very often so I mostly "do not think about it" either, but it does drain the battery.
Ask HN: Is a computer science degree worth it or should I learn on my own?

The same thing happened at the end of WW2 with all the PT boats that has been shipped to the pacific. In the course of a war, a lot of equipment gets moved to the field. When war ends (particularly abruptly as was the case in Vietnam), it’s a cost benefit analysis as to whether it makes sense to ship it back. PT boats were burned and scuttled in WW2, helicopters were dumped in vietnam (not just in this case but in others to make room on the decks for people). I’m sure a lot of equipment was left in the field as well.

They have "Promotions" for Gmail, but you can disable them, although I don't think Google explicitly tells you that it's an option. Google also doesn't use your Gmail emails for ad targeting or tracking, as per this quote:

> When you open Gmail, you'll see ads that were selected to show you the most useful and relevant ads. The process of selecting and showing personalized ads in Gmail is fully automated. These ads are shown to you based on your online activity while you're signed into Google. We will not scan or read your Gmail messages to show you ads.

Very similar to the issue I suffer from. If I overhear co-workers discussing a problem within my domain, my brain just goes right on ahead without me and starts chipping away at it. After a few minutes I might find myself staring blankly at a screen full of code while my brain is somewhere else entirely.
You asserted that "simplicity is king" and then proceeded to make a very complicated comment I'm just not sure I can fully understand. Read aloud your 3-4 lines long sentence without any punctuation and you'll undestand my problem.

That was the irony :)

> I think I've seen at least a prototype Waymo car (it was exhibited in the Computer History Museum) that was designed without the steering wheel and pedals for a human to use. That wouldn't work so well given that the car might pull over and be unable/unwilling to drive anymore.

It'd be fine - you just need to have some backup option. A small joystick or two behind some panel, or screen control, or perhaps you control the car with a phone app. It's like having an emergency spare tire - you just need a minimal driving UI that can be used in case of emergencies but users otherwise don't need to see or deal with. It can be inconvenient and speed-limited, since you don't expect to use it much.

Though if there's decent connectivity an obvious intermediate option is remote operation. Some human who is really good at driving might take over for a bit, driving your car from the comfort of their own home or office if you're not comfortable doing so yourself using the backup control pad.
The presenter was even careful to call them "locations" which annoyed me at the time as PR speak-- and then doubled down and said "someone sees their favorite country or location".

EOS and Tron. There are probably others. I went to a couple cryptocurrency meetups recently that were sponsored by a startup, 6 months old, which had offices in 3 cities, 2 different product lines, and was launching a venture capital fund. To me, that's a red flag that they have too much money and no idea how to deploy it.

The One China issue has long ago morphed from a rational point of consensus, into an irrational point of oppression.

The attitude has changed drastically, when all the original members of those discussions have been replaced by next generations, and no one can remember the original concilliary tones of those meetings, and all that remains are misunderstandings -- that was how the splits between Catholics and Protestants, Sunnis and Shias, probably happened, and passed down in increasingly dogmatic interpretations.
In terms of actually understanding how a hypothetical portfolio would have performed, something that is much more meaningful then the overall ROI provided by Google Finance is the concept of the annualised return.

Officially, yes, but virtually all of them have a bypass programmer ~6 months after the vehicle is released.
Not for me. It's seems to be designed by someone who do not really use keyboard, just plain classic Windows-style.

I'm an Emacs user, coming from Vim. I think as tons of other. I do not want Vim-in-Emacs (evil-mode) but I do want single-keys commands and modifier+single key commands, no multiple big combinations.

Having function keys only combined with shift, fn etc means that the designer NEVER really use function keys. Missing hyper modifier (that I admit make sense only for Emacs users, but it's support is still there in any GNU/Linux distros, "easy for dummy" included) is another BAD move. Mini-trackball are not IMVHO a good move. In the past we have many trackball/trackstick like solutions, they ALL fail. The sole, lone, survivors are Logitech style, thumb trackballs, and spaceballs (essentially a "hand centered" trackball) only for 3D design.

For now, for me least bad "high-end" keyboard still in production is the freestyle edge. I'd like an ancient keyboard for I do not remember witch vendor with full row of functions keys + a second row of shift+function keys.
In the first episode of the current season of Better Call Saul[1], one of the main characters exploited this phenomenon to carry out a full-scale social engineering attack on a warehouse. After gaining entry with a (stolen) ID, all he needed to get the workers to follow his orders was to drive around while wearing a high-vis vest and taking notes on a clipboard. It highlighted to great effect the problems of conditioning alienated workers in regimented hierarchies to follow orders from anyone who just looks and acts like a "boss".

Shredded paper can't be recycled - at least around the Seattle region. But it makes great compost.
I never had first-hand experience with force-touch before, so I thought it would be an useful feature. I'm using it mostly for moving cursor and occasionally to preview web pages by force-touching the link. Also you can force-touch notification and e.g. type answer immediately, I don't actively chat, but I imagine that there are people who will find it useful. Anyway now I don't think that it's a very useful feature, but it's nice to have it.
How about something phonetic like Slashy Slash (a la Marky Mark)?
In practice it matters, I think, even if in principle you can't undelete something from the internet. If someone is not explicitly looking for it, or not looking very hard, then the fewer places it exists the less likely it is that they'll run into it.

I mean, no product HAS to be for you, but part of the point of the board is that it's really, really easy to change the keymappings on a whim. If/when they finish the adaptive mode on Agent, you can in-fact make it switch bindings when you're in an editor/shell. Swapping ESC for ~ will take you no more than a few seconds using Agent, and doing any other remapping isn't drastically harder; I've messed with my maps plenty since I got my device.

As someone used to ANSI boards who doesn't use the arrow keys routinely (since I use a LOT of vim binding), it's generally pretty spiffy.
In theory they're much better because votes are tallied pretty much instantly with very little effort. Running hand counts is very expensive and it's way easier to quantify the value of the cheaper counting than the cost of insecure elections.
I have a 128gb SE that I love. I guess I will be keeping it for much longer than I anticipated, or until Apple again produces a smaller form factor phone.

For me it’s not an issue of being able to use it with one hand. It’s an issue of having a phone that itself is just small. It fits easily in my pocket where I barely notice it. I don’t want a phone that feels like an iPad in my pocket. I don’t want something that feels way better than my wallet in the keys+phone+wallet combo that I always have with me when out in public.

It is light to carry around and I can throw a case on it and it still a reasonable size.

Absent the introduction of another smaller model, I guess I will be forced to upgrade to a larger phone in the future if I want to stay with iOS (which I do) but I will be doing so with no enthusiasm.
I understand that the purpose of this blog post is to discuss the collective loss by the general public of access to this type of feature, but...

> I refuse to whiteboard

Why is that? How you communicate is really very important. If the discussion warrants it, I offer the whiteboard to people if it helps them explain something or if I'm having trouble following. Is there a downside to this, or do you mean it as short-hand for some other interview practice?
Oh man don't even get me started on trying to find SAE sizes of things on Amazon. Searching for something like a #8x1/4 inch screw is a total crap shoot. Even eBay does a better job by far.

"Logpoints are especially useful for injecting logging while debugging production servers that cannot be paused or stopped."

There is a lot more going on with them than you might realize. Not sure how coupled it is to the nodejs/kubernetes/Azure stuff they have built into VSCode, but it seems like a working example of the future. Sorta like time travel debugging in node-chakracore.

Windows has this facility called EWT that lets you setup all sorts of eventing/tracing that is actually not present(the calls) in the code unless the EWT facility injects the code necessary to enable it into the running process. This allows you to dynamically enable and disable event sources based on stuff like.. whether or not something is currently subscribing to it. Worth looking into just for the sheer amazement of it if you are not a Windows developer and familiar with it.

Is there really much profit from selling a $.10 screw that the average person might need once or twice a year when they buy some unassembled product that is missing parts? I assume people who would buy bulk don't need an app to tell them what to buy. Or do they charge an insane markup for these one-offs?

Personally, I love an excuse to go to an old fashioned Ace Hardware store and ask a real person for help.

The total cost of ownership for Apple products is, for some calculations, less than other products.

It obviously depends a lot on how much you care about software updates, how gently you treat your device, etc. But if you’re the sort of person who buys a new phone every two years and sells your old phone, the resale value of the old phone tends to be high enough that the costs look about the same as reasonably comparable domestically available devices.

If you’re buying your phone straight from China, or don’t care much about high-end phone features, your mileage may vary.
Seconding this. My degree comes in handy all the time conceptualizing software and architecture problems into computer science problems, which are much less murky to solve. My practical experience comes in handy all the time with the day-to-day usage of libraries and frameworks, and "hands-on" skills ie debugging, deploying, etc.
This is why you should not buy a car from a software company. It is NOT ok to play with lives this way. I don't think a lesson will be learned until somebody dies, sadly. The last thing I want is my car updating by itself. THE. LAST.

No one can answer this for you.

If you want the fastest path to get a $50,000 -$90,000 job - you may want to consider self study. There are jobs in every city that could fit for this.

If you want a career path and want to work on high level engineering, then go to college. You will need the basics and a network.

If you are asking and not sure, you should most likely go to school.
Why are we still designing “ergonomic” keyboards where all of the keys — for both hands — still angle to the left?

I know that would be straying from a long-lived standard, but if we’re going to split the middle, why not also go ahead and angle the keys on the left half to the right?

Note, while you should feel free to use any interactive shell you like, you should only write scripts with POSIX sh.

Ugh. I have so many conflicting opinions on this question.

So, Xonsh is superior in the manipulation of shell objects. I felt super at home changing the shell prompt and configuring/extending the default Xonsh functionality. This is all because it's literally a superset of Python.

Fish however, blows Xonsh out of the water when it comes to autocomplete and navigation. Xonsh's autocomplete / suggestions are very very weak in comparison to fish's. You feel bogged down when trying to navigate directories quickly with Xonsh. I wrote a small blog post about it here [0]

There was a piece of software I was trying to write that was meant to be Xonsh but with Fish's autocomplete [1], but really didn't succeed and have slightly abandoned it for the time being. But maybe I'll pick it back up soon.

Back when I had to learn touch typing (do they do that any more?), we learned the 'correct' finger for each key. The five columns of letters on the left belong to the left hand, so the "B" is in the correct place. The "6", however, is on the left of the split, while it belongs to the right index finger. Most split keyboards get this 'wrong' -- in the sense that old people like me who learned to "touch type" will have to re-learn it.

The root cause of all this disagreement, of course, is the weird offsets of the rows. Why aren't the keys in a square matrix formation? There haven't been typebars on keyboards in decades, and the fingers on my left and right hands are symmetric.

If you're going to make everybody learn new muscle memory for escape, space, arrow keys, function keys, etc., why not fix the row spacing, too, while you're at it? I find it strange to maintain just this one legacy misfeature.

The problem is that if you use a zeroed time component, but at some point it's assumed 00:00:00 (midnight), shifting timezones might mean that it shifts to the previous day. Even if you then truncate the hour portion before display, the date is wrong.

For example, you use a datepicker at some point, and it stores 2000-01-01 00:00:00 in the US/Eastern time zone (because that's where you and the computer you're on are when you do it). If you happen to store that as UTC, you might find some interesting outputs for people on the West coast if you convert back to a local (US/Pacific) timestamp. Specifically, you'll get 1999-12-31 21:00:00, and if you do this blindly and throw away the hour portion, you still get the wrong date.

When you want dates, you often really want to store just the date potion. Any time you want a date and time, you probably also want a timezone along with it, or at a minimum, you want to know what type of output your use case requires and handle it appropriately. Dates and times are one of those things that seems simple until you've had to deal with the details and encountered the problems enough that you always treat it with a bit of respect.
