> 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.

This is what always struck me as so short-sighted about Western corporations offshoring their manufacturing. Japan and the Asian Tigers proved that it's possible for nations to successfully climb the value chain, starting off by doing low-skilled work and then using the experience gained from that to gradually take over more and more of the overall product development process. China is just taking that approach and applying it at a larger scale than anyone has ever done before.

When a company like Apple contracts out its manufacturing to a Chinese firm, it's betting that Apple will always be able to produce better design and marketing than that Chinese firm can. But based on history, that doesn't strike me as a very good bet. Eventually the Chinese firm will climb high enough on the value chain where they don't need Apple's designers and marketers to make objects that sell anymore. The Western companies are training their own replacements.
Not sure I qualify as an “elite” but I’ve never seen an original keyboard with the escape where thr caps is on a modern keyboard.

I’ve seen them in the place of the tab key but never on the home row.

Personally, as a long time Vi user, I think you’re better off mapping the caps key to Ctrl and using C-[ for escape. That leaves you with many more Vim insert mode commands within easy reach.

E.g.
C-r <buffer> — to put a buffer

C-h — backspace

C-i — tab

C-m — CR

C-xC-f — complete filename

Etc, etc.

h,j,k & l are really only the simplest od vi navigation keys. Once you know how to, say, jump to 3rd paragraph or to jump or to the middle of the screen you won’t use them anywhere near as much.

Much as I love vi navigation owning a Pok3r keyboard has shown me how annoying it is to not have dedicated cursor keys for GUI applications.
That is an interesting technical point.

As an aside, we observe a day of fasting (atonement) every year, so my kids all know what it's like to be really hungry, but they also aren't afraid of it either. There's real life skills and strength gained from this.

Yeah, I don't understand why comparisons are always made for gzipped code sizes. I mean, I could write something really small that is difficult to parse and abuses memory vs. something big but is all comments.

Why is this the first metric that is always trotted out?
Really? Which apps have issues? I'm an SE user and I can't say I've experienced any problems that seem like screen size issues.

I'm LDS, and though I can feel the downvotes coming, I also feel like I can share some relevant personal experience here. We consider ourselves Christians and do not work on the sabbath, or I should clarify, are _encouraged_ not to (at an individual level all Mormons observe their religion differently, so some will work on the sabbath, or feel they have to in order to fulfill a sort of higher law of providing for their family, or whatever).

I guess I'd also add that in the general Christian view, the specific, older-testament-era laws around the sabbath had a meaning, but they were really pointers to higher laws and concepts rather than, or possibly in addition to, being materially meaningful standalone practices. And as you rightfully point out, those "little laws and practices" were also subject to a higher law. I remember when I lived in Japan, I was working outside as very hungry young missionary one day and a kind old woman grabbed some fruit and a bag of chips off of her family altar and gave them to me, demanding that I eat. This had similar significance to me and is an experience that's very close to my heart.

IMO sabbath observance a great practice. There are few things like the feeling of a day that is uninterrupted by work concerns. And going beyond the limitation to what we _don't do_ on that day, it's also a day that's set aside for meditation, big-picture thinking about life, spirituality, and connection with the universal. In the past I let it slide a lot more than I do now, but in the past I was also a much less-healthy workaholic.

I'm almost in my 40s and I was overjoyed when my company offered me the chance to travel for work.

Not everyone can afford traveling (I agree that's not as much true in the U.S.). And staying in fancy hotels is cool.

Once you have a family that changes quickly (I don't have children), but for 20 somethings it must be a real perk.

Edit: sibling comments says it wears out after 4-6 months.
> Doesn’t having a numeric keypad hurt ergonomics?

Absolutely. I will never buy a keyboard with an attached numpad because it splays my mousing hand way out to the right in an very awkward manner. That is one of the reasons I bought the UHK.

One of the really cool features of the UHK I was surprised to discover after I received it is that it can control your mouse cursor and right/left/middle buttons by using the Mod keys and h/j/k/l keys. Yes, I'm sure you can download some utility that enables this on any keyboard but it's nice to have it built into the firmware.
I am not sure work is the right place to express your opinions on controversial topics.

It is different though sharing your thoughts/interest with people you trust at work.

Also there is assymetry of impact of ideas between two sides.

Independent person would probably say that conservative ideas are Perceived to be more controversial by other side then other way around.

Like gun debate. If co-worker comes to work and says guns are bad. Ok whatever your opinion man. But if they come to work and like yo guns are awesome, 2nd amendment bros. I own one, then for other side this person might be perceived as threat.

It actually used to be against the law. The King of England would put people in jail (or bring them to court at least) if they were caught working on a day of thanksgiving. This was 1600s of course...

There's a funny story about a guy in court being taken to task, but he said he didn't work, but his son did, and shenanigans ensued. Evidently it was a sign of protest against the king to work on thanksgiving days. Mainly because the king would declare them for his own purposes...

Google Employees Are Quitting Over the Company’s Secretive China Search Project
Apologies in advance if this sounds overly negative: this is not a replacement for Google Finance. This is a portfolio tracker. The first two things I checked for that made GF different and important (to me, at least) were company financials and an advanced stock search.

Company financials are self explanatory (quarterly breakdowns of cash, income, etc), the stock search allowed you to pare down stocks based on market cap, div &, P/E, etc, and was a wonderful tool for discovery.

Your site is nice, but it offers almost nothing over what every brokerage I've used offers: watchlists, news. Crypto is a nice addition, but Robinhood has that, and Robinhood has my actual transaction history.
I have said this for a while . Especially since the era of Jony Ive.

Apple is now a fashion & lifestyle company. It sells the brand first and foremost. Every thing else is secondary.

As long as people keep buying MacBooks in absurd numbers, apple will keep going down this path.

Do these people need a $2000 MacBook to edit photos, consume media and work on office ? No.
Do they still buy MacBooks ?
Yes.

And there you have it.

Welcoming contributors for a SBML model of ALS disease
Two people died of ALS [0] in my family in just 10 years. This hints at a familiar form. Among the dozen of relatives under this threat, are my wife and my two daughters.

I made a toy model [1] of ALS in SBML [2] (an XML dialect for models in system biology).
While this model is obviously useless for any medical purpose, its purpose is to start the ball rolling.

It shows the "vicious circle" of ALS, where an initial insult initiates a cascade of cellular destruction by the immune response that will wreck down the nervous system.

What I would welcome is contributors to the model, as well as people that would lead this effort toward a realistic model of ALS. I am too old to bear this load, I just ask to participate in the game.

All proposed code snippets must rely on articles published in a reliable journal, for example Nature.

This model, when it will have matured, in turn could help to test the efficacy of off-label drugs in the ALS context.

In order to test drugs efficacy, some parameters would alter the behavior of species (for example may be an ad hoc parameter could be used to test COX-2 inhibitors in the context of ALS).

I remember having great time writing this little 256-byte game:

https://github.com/dakics/asm-tie-fighter

Back then, it often made a huge usability difference if you optimized in asm critical inner loops or other time-consuming external methods, which would be called from Clipper, Turbo Pascal/C, Modula-2 or alike. TSR-loaded "Norton Guides" were indispensable. Good times. :)
Apple can no longer make a phone as good as the iPhone SE.

You're right - there's always a lot of corner cases and "handling" that you have to do for financial data. But it's very possible.

You're basically saying you should be able to enter that you bought 100 shares AAPL in 2004 at $15... what is your total return?

(We only have watchlists today, but we're designing more of the features that are "portfolio"-like and this is great feedback.)

Ctrl-c is a poor substitute for escape as it messes up your history and stops things like mutiline visual inserts working.

You’re better off using ctrl-[ which is exactly the same as escape in functionality.
For those who are more traditional, the norm is to not use any electricity, from lights to microwaves to cellphones.

Part of the time is spent with worship (usually about ~45 mins Friday evening, ~2 hours Saturday morning, and ~15 minutes Saturday evening). It is traditional to have a large meal with family/friends for dinner Friday night and Saturday lunch, and often these meals can go on for 3-4 hours (as a side note, meals without phones with everyone fully engaged in the conversation are great, my wife and I instituted a no phones at meals initiative outside of Sabbath as well).

As for Saturday afternoon, I personally get a lot of reading done and when it's nice I'll go for walks with family/friends or hang out with friends indoors. Lots of my friends get together for board game groups as well. Because those who observe Sabbath don't drive, everyone in the community lives within walking distance of the synagogue and therefore walking distance of each other as well.

This was especially great in middle/high school -- most of my closest friends are still my friends from my neighborhood growing up. We spent so many hours on Sabbath together talking and hanging out without the distractions of phones or movies or video games and grew so close over that time spent together.

Edit to clarify the electricity comment: you can leave stuff such as lights on or use a timer set beforehand, so you're not stuck in the literal dark for a lot of the time :p

> (And sorry, what do you mean by leave the app?

When I click between "Watchlists" and "Market News" on the left sidebar, the sidebar stays in place as I would expect from a single page app experience. However, when I click on a stock, it appears that the page reloads, as the left sidebar flickers a little bit.

It's still a fast experience switching between stocks, but I'm guessing it could be even faster if local state is updated with a new selected stock's information with the app shell already in place. Maybe that's exactly what's happening, but the left sidebar flickering just a little bit makes it "feel" like the site is refreshing.
Reuters isn't a state-owned propaganda outlet; TASS has been since at least the early days of the Bolshevik regime (and maybe earlier; it was state-owned telegraph agency under the Tsarist regime, but I don't have any information of whether it acted as a state propaganda arm then; it's journalist came from a separate firm.)
Given how the i386 instruction encoding works that is not significant as in 16b mode mov ax, bx has same encoding as mov eax, ebx in 32b mode (in reality it is somewhat more complex, but this is the gist of it) and thus how it gets disassembled depend on the configuration of the disassembler. One thing that would certainly point on the code being for 32b mode would be stores into control registers (eg. mov cr0, eax instead of smsw ax, which have different encodings, and slightly different effect, with the second one being somewhat nonsencial in 32b mode).
Seriously... It's not like timezone support is some esoteric interest in a Date/Time library.
I won't argue the historical point, but of the 10 commandments, only the 4th (about the sabbath) was altered the second time it was written, and included a specific note to remember they were slaves as a part of the reason to rest. (Deuteronomy 5:15) But also to give their own servants rest, something the Orthodox Jews seem to have forgotten or ignore by hiring servants to do work for them on the sabbath.
Right. I always worry when I'm presented a price plot over more than a few months that there is something masking the real picture, which is total return, or price + cash flow. For any "portfolio"-like feature you're going to want total return and not price action return.
I disagree with most of your answer, eg most crawlers discard old data in favor of the latest snapshot, but thanks for taking the time to provide your PoV and inviting to a discussion.
Even if some piece of data remains around, one should be in control of his/her contributions and be allowed to delete, that’s far from irrelevant or misleading.

I'm in exactly the same situation. The SE's killer feature for me is that I can easily operate it with one hand. I commute on the NYC subway, and that means I have to be able to hold a handrail with one hand while using my phone with the other. I "downgraded" from an iPhone 6... because apps put controls everywhere on the screen, and I just couldn't hold the phone and operate it with the same hand. (The thing was also very slippery; it never slipped out of my hands and got smashed, but I always felt it was inevitable.)

I am also not planning on upgrading. The iPhone X family looks great. Amazing screen. I don't care about a home button or a headphone jack or whatever the improved battery life is. Until I can be guaranteed a seat on the subway, it's all a net negative because I can't actually interact with applications during my commute. (When I'm not commuting, I have a 32" monitor, a keyboard, and a mouse which is WAY BETTER than a 6" phone and my finger.)

(More honestly, I don't see $1000 in value-add over my current phone. I don't need the latest gadget to be happy... but if it makes me $1000 happier over its lifetime, sign me up.)

I feel like it's a cultural thing. "Designed by Apple in California" where you just drive to work so a bigger phone is only a benefit (larger battery, easier-to-read text when you're using the phone). But in NYC, small is a huge benefit, and it's a shame that the transit-deprived West Coast tech companies don't understand our use case here.
Hmm, I was going to disagree with you, but as I reflect on my time in Tokyo I have to admit you're right.
> I'm asking because I'm torn between Xperia XZ1 Compact and the iPhone SE...

As someone who's in the likely unique position of carrying an iPhone SE and an XZ1 Compact in their pocket every day (and a Pixel), I'd recommend the iPhone SE:

- The iPhone SE is 20% lighter, which you notice over an extended time of using both phones.

- The camera on the XZ1C is frankly abysmal. The iPhone SE has a far better camera.

- I think the iPhone SE runs iOS better than the XZ1C runs Android.

However:

- I think the XZ1C has better battery life.

- The XZ1C has a MicroSD slot.

- You can install open source ROMs and MicroG if you want to own your device.
In order to feel safe expressing your opinions, you have to feel like you won't raise an eyebrow. Either that, or any owner of a raised eyebrow won't take it any further than the mild disagreement of raising an eyebrow.

It's really obvious that not only is it not possible to say whatever you want at work, but that in some cases, raising an eyebrow is the last thing you will ever do, at least within the context of one's career.

The tension at hand is founded in things that simply will not be happening any time soon. But unpredictable reactions to minor slights set people on edge all around.

The polarity is highly charged, even though no one really has murder and beatings high on their list of priorities, the paranoia and suspicion that the other side does is what leaves us destabilized.

Homosexuality, abortion, race, evolution, genetics, how the universe began, and where do we go when we die. Talking about these things at work is a mistake, but even joking about "the wrong opinion" will completely ruin you in less than an hour, so trying to feel safe about having an opinion is a bad idea, whether you feel you're on the right side of history or not.
