OK, as a sibling comment points out, it's been a harsh judgment (although I make it humorously).

In general terms, I think it's subpar in terms of usability, at least, when talking about "Google standards". Going down to details:

1. the web interface uses a sort of "dark pattern": it enforces delayed updates, to the point of ignoring user requests for refresh; when the user clicks on the refresh button, s/he'll see the spinner in action, but when it stops, there's no guarantee that the updates have been sent - in fact, attempting to close the browser at the point frequently shows a browser alert, then the spinner will spin again for the "real" update. It's a matter of seconds actually, but it gives the impression that the program is "lying" to the user.

2. the automatic recognition is extremely annoying when a note includes numbers and symbols that don't represent phone numbers/email adresses - Keep will forcefully recognize them as such, so that when one clicks on an auto-recognized string, a dialog will pop up, forcing the user to click Cancel, then hope that the landing character is the right one, otherwise, when clicking on another character, the popup will show again.

3. the reminders workflow is bizarre; it assumes that the main use case is the user setting alarms at four semi-fixed (fixed but customizable) times of the day. this doesn't really make sense to me, and adds one extra stage in the setup

4. at some point it seemed they introduced a clever reminders workflow - when the user would add one, the default would be around three hours from creation (with the exception of the night). this is not stable though - sometimes, the three hours interval is not respected.

5. I recently hit a bug where, when I select it from the Android task manager, the window closes.

Point #2 is definitely the worst for me; it really bites me on notes that include numbers and are frequently updated (eg. a gym schedule); I think this is a legitimate use case.

Point #1 may be a bug, although it's in a core functionality, which makes me think that it's intended.

News flash! I've just found a bug. There are four semi-fixed times of the day; but in the settings, one can only customize three.

Practically speaking, I think there isn't (enough) dogfooding in its design. More abstractly, I really doubt that it's up to standards with a company that is supposed to have the best IT professionals in the world.
'Most chip shops near me now double as cheap Chinese takeaways'

There's your answer.
I tried the exact same query and got told to google it on my iPhone.
Siri shares a lot of problems with Apple Maps wherein it simply gives up on a request shrugs and returns any answer rather than admitt failure.

For example sometimes searching Apple Maps for an address like 123 Mountain View in a development where there are similar addresses like Mountain Drive or Mountain Glade it’ll often ignore what you typed (or correctly heard in the case of Siri) and give you the wrong location such as Mountain Wood. This is especially frustrating when it happens to be your home location.

For a compounded example I tried to use geofenced reminders on iOS. I had set my home and work addresses in Contacts but edited their location manually on the map because the postal address Apple offers isn’t correct and is useless when using the very useful autocomplete feature in safari. Searching for Home/Work on Apple maps goes to the incorrect location and jumps to the edited location. So when the Reminders App checks for the input location (Hey Siri remind me to do bla when I get home) it only goes to the incorrect location and sometimes another random Mountain location and never checks for the edit.

This is not the attention to detail Apple is supposedly known for.
Now you're beginning to sound psychopathic.
When I asked the same question, I got a series of web search results, not Wolfram Alpha results. The top result was Wikipedia's entry "List of Lakes in California" which contains a big list alphabetized by name, not sortable by surface area.
Google will instantly serve up an answer to a question like that these days, but it hasn't always been the case.

Until a few years ago it could take multiple searches and some manual collating/filtering/calculating of results to get the answer to that question.

I think that's what he means.
This might sound insensitive but I don't get what the big deal is. Even if the Saudis had the journalist killed, how is that different than all the other (more) horrible things other governments have been engaging in?
With some of the better examples you have the choice of one or either. In less good establishments it tends to be just 'fish' though.
Different tastes... as a Brit if I went to a chippy and the chips weren't a bit stodgy I would send them back. I ordered chips, not fries :-)

I do agree with you a bit on the fish though, as I understand a lot of this is to do with fishing quotas which push the prices up so most places use cheaper fish. Ifou go to a good chippy in a seaside town, and specifically order cod or hadock, then you can get something good. As others have said the quality of restaurants really vary, even in the same town.
Exactly. Triple cooked chips are heaven. In between stages I just leave them on a rack in the garden as they need to dry out properly.
Hey dang, how did you know this wasn't an original work? Do you run a check for every Show HN?
A Brief History of Tensilica
What a great topic of discussion for your next 1:1 :)

Talk about the frequency of your 1:1 which seem to happen too often, and about all the other disruptions you experience. Your manager will surely find a way to help with these if possible.
Are you sure? Here in the US they've given up naming fish, because the supply chain has diluted everything with trash whitefish, which they re-branded 'tilapia' to make it sound like its a thing. No flavor at all.

The local restaurant chain relabeled their 'fried catfish' as 'fried whitefish' or something. Asked why they changed their fish. They said "We didn't change the fish; we just changed the menu". Presumably because it wasn't catfish all along.
I'm surprised to see most comments mentioning weekly 1:1s. In my experience I've found that every other week is plenty. Do your direct reports really find something to talk about every week?
>A good chunk of this is caused by our city repeatedly choosing awful vendors that bilk the city for crazy amounts of money, and provide trash as the final product.

How much of this is voters voting for politicians who are good at what is essentially a popularity contest instead of politicians who are capable of signing decent contracts? As long as voters don't care enough to change their voting habits this will continue to happen.
hmm, there are #if js/#elseif flash blocks in the drawing example using canvas - does that mean the basic drawing is not cross-platform?
Kidnapping and murdering people using official diplomatic status in foreign countries is a massive violation of the norms of international diplomacy.

The fact that countries don't normally do stuff like this is what keeps diplomatic channels open, and wars from starting.
Do you know maybe a good documentation for it? The official manual seems a bit verbose, not containing much code :-)
I’ve found you can ask Siri to explicitly search Wolfram Alpha. Far from ideal.
It's up to the WM. In Durden, that's how the default works. Advanced management is if you are working with different security domains etc. and need to protect against other clients polluting the clipboard (classic bitcoin address replace attack for instance). Point being that clipboard behavior is WM controlled, not display-server+manager.

Not unlike CIA and military actions in South America, Southeast Asia, the Middle East (e.g. Iran Contra), and Guantanamo & Thailand, over the past 150 years.

I wonder if they aren't valuable for you because you aren't trying to make them valuable? One-on-ones can be a pointless waste of time if the report does not bring questions and topics and concerns to discuss, even if there are plenty of those things available for discussion.
The gas company leaks may be insignificant compared to the way natural gas is obtained. In particular, the way it isn't. Dakota fracking just burned off the natural gas, because in the USA its politically incorrect to build pipelines. Result: terawatts of natural gas burned off at the source or released into the atmosphere. More damage to the environment than a century of leaks. The burning flumes could be seen from space, appears as a megacity of light for years.

I think our political process has completely lost touch with science and pragmatism.

Since I can't read the paper, I'm not sure. I hesitant to generalize, but if dementia can be broadly defined as global, regional, or nuclei-specific cell death. Then a good rule of thumb is anything that impacts the homeostatic equilibria of the CNS in a negative manner, will eventually lead to dementia. Which would account for why there seems to be a plethora of causes.
I think the problem with pork is that pigs will happily eat and root in human waste. This means human parasite eggs and larvae end up going back into our food chain when we eat the pigs. That's what makes them 'unclean'.
There's loads of awful fish and chip shops.

For the best fish and chips they should not be fried in vegetable oil. Any hard white fat is an improvement, with beef dripping the best. You'll get melt in the mouth crispness and wonderfully light feeling chips. If they fry hot enough.

It's rare to find a chipoll that still fries in dripping, but there are still some and will likely have a lengthy queue. Any chip shop that doubles as anything else is usually asking for trouble, unless it's an attached caf. :)
Also, Hystrix, Eureka, and other JVM microservicey packages.

A cynic would assume it's just companies that produce low value, have low value (compared to cost) employees but are VC money pumped.
This cycle will continue until there's an economic down turn and a large portion of those companies will go bankrupt.
There is an XServer for macOS and it allows me to successfully use proprietary cad tools from the comfort of my mac, without having to login to a centos 6 installation via thinlinc and use some atrocious window manager.
It is a big deal - committing violence against your own citizens in diplomatic havens on foreign soil is as dark as it gets.

However, there are good things going on in Saudi Arabia right now and the West would be futile to derail this. The Saudis need to answer for their actions, but not at the price of stopping the modernization they are undergoing.
I just searched my home address from where I’m typing this comment, a street name of about 10 letters followed by a 2-digit street number in an European capital city of 2 million people. Google Maps gave me the correct street name after typing 5 of those 10 street name letters and after I also inputed the street number the first result in the suggested list was the correct one. Apple Maps didn’t display the correct address at any point of me inputting the address’s letters and digits, and after I finished writing them down all and clicking the search button it redirected me to an address with the same name located 100 kilometers away. Apple Maps still has a very long way to go.

I’m dubious. I don’t think we’ve fully grasped the long term health consequences of introducing new seed oils into the human diet yet, opting to go further and actually eat cottonseed too seems like a bad call.
What strikes me thought is the story about a dad who catches the son on eating sugar and lying to him and the outcome is happiness and whole family dancing. What is simply cheating others is promoted as wit and smartness.
Depends how good the journalistic filters are. Would these deepfakes get through the ones for the New York Times or BBC or Telegraph? Maybe not, but I have no doubt they'd fool the tabloid papers, especially given how low the standards are for stuff like the Sun/Daily Mirror/Daily Star/etc. They'd also likely fool quite a few specialist sites too, especially given the likes of the gaming press have very low standards for credible sources or evidence. People on Twitter have fooled them with blurry cellphone photos on a semi regular basis.

But it definitely depends on the news source and how thorough they are with verifying stories.
> This is not the attention to detail Apple is supposedly known for.

It is the kind of annoying amusing malfunction Apple apps are known for. Autocorrect was another big offender for years. The funniest for me was when my iPhone insisted on changing “there” into “they’re” when “there” was correct
For the people asking about pork, the answer is, I believe, trichinosis aka roundworm: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trichinosis It is infectious in under-cooked meat and can make you very ill (including killing you).
How to teach a chatbot to type?
I think parent comment shouldn’t be flagged, helps give context for an ELI5 explanation
I've requested thousands from all over the United States, big and small municipalities. The responses and individuals ranged from a small contingent of extremely professional, organized, helpful, and all around wonderful people to many and more abysmal, unorganized, uneducated, tech-illiterate, and downright incompetent folks.

I can't remember how many times I'd point the person I was attempting to request the information from directly to their sample version or official space where they said they were the holders of said datas I was looking for which also provided the instructions to specifically call them to request the data. I know from my POV (as a tech worker) it may seem silly to expect anything like that from them but what I was asking for was akin to an excel spreadsheet full of information they absolutely do have and it required no legwork, no generation of new materials, no gathering of data from multiple ancient sources.

It was all material / datas each individual municipality was making money, hand over fist, every month of every year -- the sample datas most municipalities had was evidence of that. I was basically asking them for the collection of the entire data, publicly traded info, and most were convinced they didn't have it. A product of laziness is what I'd chalk it up to because the individuals and municipalities that were awesome to work with and more than helpful seemed to take pride in their work and getting said data was easier than the majority of things involving interfacing with the government at any level usually winds up being like.
Single cooked chips with blisteringly hot dripping in the deep fryer is my approach. Crispness that melts on the outside, and fluffy like the finest roasties on the inside. Agree with you on the rest. :)
I can’t make myself workout on a treadmill or stationary bike, feels like purgatory. But I can work out in a bootcamp/CrossFit like group class for an hour. Something about the social aspect works for me, maybe you’re in the same boat.
Best to try and avoid starting flamewars over sensitive topics like this. There's plenty of discussion all over the internet about the question you've posed. Re-litigating it here isn't likely to progress it any further than people have been able to do elsewhere.
Is this a serious question? If so one response is: where would you draw the line? It doesn't seem a huge leap from eliminating a single troublesome journalist to eliminating a troublesome citizen/group of citizens/town/region/entire ethnic group..
Probably true but there also wasn't a whole lot of interest in digital when they first did it. The broader point in this discussion is that losing their film and consumables business was going to cause them significant difficulties no matter how perfectly they navigated their way through that event.
I am not the only one saying this since eons, but power and money are the only things that work in global relations. Countries are forced to develop nuclear weapons because treaties are not honored owing to special interests. If your big brother is powerful, you can get away with almost anything. As much outrage the journalist killing has caused, they will be able to buyout any powerful dissidents, corporations or countries.
Haven't had the time to properly study this, but if this is the case then this is huge! Remember I was thinking that I needed something like this for something but I can't for the life of me seem to remember what....
While the logic is sensible, I believe that the phone is the least likely device to be affected.

That is, if you have an 12" iPad Pro, you're unlikely to also have a 12" MacBook, as they're devices of similar size and portability, and for "normal" people, also similar capability.

However, a phone is a different portability class. You have a phone with you at times where you do not bring an iPad. No amount of devices will help me when I do not have them with me. Even if I am at home, my phone is in my pocket, which an iPad, laptop or desktop never will be.

Therefore, I believe that the question is more about preference than about device overlap for phones.

But yes, you are right—anecdotes and opinions, rather than data.
IMHO the problem is how monolithic the whole OS is built. How the hell is it possible that they "build Windows"? That includes things as diverse as file system drivers or notepad.

If I want to make a small change to notepad, I should not have to check out the whole Windows source code, but just notepad. Then you could have different development methodologies for different projects.

They should rip everything out piece by piece, and make it an addon. Then you'd have a minimal Windows core, a Windows shell, and the individual accessories. The shell alone would still be a huge project that you'd want to split up ideally.

The challenge with such a model is that you have to be really strict with interfaces between components. You have to define these interfaces, you have to quickly provide other groups with interfaces they need, and you have to provide backwards compatibility as long as any other component uses your interface. It's much more work, but it's better than the ad-hoc coupling you get if everything is one monolithic build.
We don't do any kind of regular 1-on-1 meetings; I think we did a few years and years ago when it was first cargo culted, but it's just not terribly useful. I work for a small company, and I've been here seven years - my boss/owner and I know each other well, and some kind of scheduled interaction like that is not really necessary. If we want to talk about non-work stuff or work stuff, there's more than enough time shooting the shit in the breakroom waiting for the Keurig to produce an adequate amount of coffee, or when we get pizza once a week in the conference room, or just at the tail end of a end-of-day meeting.

My fiance has worked at a few bigger places that subscribe to this kind of "best-practices" management style, and it's just something that seems so stilted and generally dreaded. She's very happy when her job takes her on the road visiting customers and she gets to avoid them.
Thanks Man.
Well, it detects wrong / right answer when you use predefined responses but when you use text reply then it just states what is correct, so that you can figure out where you went wrong.
I once had a manager that would walk through the office and call people in for 1:1s in such a way that I felt like I was at a doctor’s office. The meeting itself was almost the same - you’d say your bit and then he’d have a list of things he wanted to cover. I called him out on this and though initially a bit shocked, did improve a bit. As s manager, even though you are coming from a position of “authority,” don’t treat your people like cattle.
Yes, and this shows you agree with my point. I think what's confusing you is that you're thinking "has a basis" means "is factually correct". If you look at my comments in this sub-thread, you'll see that I'm talking about the basis of views that are potentially/actually wrong (e.g. the view that there's a market for small phones, or the view that the earth is flat). This "basis" is the reasons, drawn from experience or other information, why we think something is the case. That basis can be dead wrong, but that doesn't mean it's non-existent.
Humanity made it to the 21st century consuming pork.

Labeling pork 'unclean' is just standard operating procedure where arbitrary restrictions are introduced to generate an "us vs. them" divide and give the religious authorities more control over the everyday lifes of the believers.

Same dynamics as when religions take great interest in the sexual lives of the belivers

If you're not already a lisper I would recommend learning Common Lisp from one of the many excellent books. Learning the differences for Emacs Lisp afterwards is a breeze, and you get a much a more general purpose view of Lisp.

> "I had beautiful fish and chips in Whitby"

Funny you should mention Whitby, that little town was on my mind the whole time whilst reading these comments. I happened to pass through there maybe 25 years ago and the fish & chips were absolutely divine. Even today, when I think about good fish & chips, I think about Whitby.

Is there something special about that town? Is fish & chips their thing?
I got the advice from a friend.

Also from Scott Adams himself: Your day job must be to find a better day job.
That's not how FOIA works. It's a good thing too. Government employees almost always fight FOIA requests. There aren't many subjective tools (e.g. overbroad) and you're certainly not required to say why you're making the request.

Data privacy laws in the US are unfortunately minimal. The bigger problem comes from imbalance -- if the government and corporations have lists of names, people need them to in order to be able to work together and organize.

If you don't think this information should go out in FOIA requests, the tool to accomplish that is data destruction. Government could wipe old emails once no longer relevant.
Yes. Because the scope is so broad and the purpose is investing in our relationship, my directs often have so much to talk about that we have topics still untouched at the end of 30 minutes. This is universal across my whole team: extroverts and introverts, junior and senior.

Sometimes they don’t have much to talk about. Then I’ll give extra feedback or talk strategy. Less than 5% of my 1:1’s end early.

It wasn’t always like this. We had to build trust and get in the habit of talking. Some new people think it’s weird for a month or two but I’ve never had anyone say it was a waste of time after that.
