Seeing HOW I use an app can be a perceived privacy issue. It definitely can negatively affect user experience. Case in point: limited bandwidth and/or high latency, especially if the telemetry is transmitted with synchronous communication.

What theme I use is sellable, especially if themes can be purchased. What buttons I click most often is also sellable by making it known what features would attract the most advertisements or what kind of data drives my use of the application.
They aren't fundamental constants, they are fundamental units. The system is ultimately about allowing people to compare measurements (not describing the universe in abstract), and is only tied to fundamental physical constants where it makes that more reliable.

That's not a whole answer, but it may be helpful for your thinking.
At the moment, not a whole lot, but if you’re in the group of older MacBook [Pro] users who are looking to upgrade, don’t like the options from Apple, but love macOS, then it makes the transition less painful.

My hope is that it will further distinguish itself with time.

They’ve got the basics in place, which is no small task given they’ve essentially created their own desktop environment. They have a long road ahead of them before they catch up to distros like Mint in terms of features, but with more of the underpinnings in place (like their new cloud providers API), I’m hoping it starts to feel more complete during the next couple releases.

I think if you're going to apply this strategy, you have to think about the reason why "the ships" actually harm you. In the historical example, it is because when you are fighting in line of pikemen and one group decides to flee, it exposes the rest of the formation to danger and leads them to flee...causing a rout.

In business, to prevent an analogous situation, you need some way to prohibit people from quitting the company in the face of poor morale. How does one do that ethically?

Instead, think about the nature of the 'distraction' and find a tactic that works for that. Maybe that means prohibiting the CEO trying to go fundraising until X target is met?

There is not one of those without a giant marketing budget and a powerful corporation behind it. Further, you're confusing market monopolization with specific terms sometimes becoming generic. You could look at Xerox as a counterexample: the term became generic for "photocopy", but that doesn't mean they're dominant like Google. Xerox has something like 17% market share for copiers; they're third place in a robust market.

I had a similar experience after a week long camp where I only slept a couple of hours a night, if that. On returning home I went to sleep and distinctly recall waking up about an hour later, only to discover I'd actually been asleep for ~25 hours.

I never experienced euphoria then, but in my younger years when I could still successfully pull all-nighters I found myself re-energized once the sun rose in the morning and this lasted typically until later that afternoon. This lead to a general rule where if I was planning on staying up that late I always tried to go to bed before the sun came up.

With macos, you need to buy the hardware, and the hardware locks you out of using Linux lately. You also have to spend like crazy on pre-upgrades since everything is soldered in. Then they fight tooth and nail to keep 3rd party repair from being viable, so the apple store says you need a fully new machine and yet the guy down the street can fix it for $700 (would be less but everything is soldered). The machines and os are great, but the other stuff is a buzz kill.

This is one way to put it. Lets pretend that every burger isn't different, every cook isn't different, ingredients aren't the same from day to day, etc... Then it all becomes having the right combination on the day you get there. And this ignores how the reviewer is feeling, and what they ate and drank already that day and the day before.

You should read it again and understand what’s behind said. If you’re missing the grammatical structure you are probably misunderstanding a huge percentage of the language people are using around you.

The word used was “can” and it means something is possible.

Your misunderstanding is quite commmon in English these days. People say things like “men are pigs” or “chickens fly” and many will interpret that as if a broad claim was made. But “all chickens fly all day long” is a totally different sentence than “chickens fly” and “chickens can fly“.

Nice shitpost
That's exactly what it is, a very well executed fast food burger. I mean, I'm not going to trade it for a real good local burger joint burger (Superburger in my area), but that joint burger is 2x times the size plus fixings (depending on what's ordered) and costs 3x the In-n-out burger, and doesn't have a drive through. When you start adding all the variables in, the picture becomes clear.

Oh, and as someone that gets fast food burgers once every week or two, Wendy's has always been particularly high on my list, and McDonald's recent switch to non-frozen patties for quarter pounders has also significantly raised the quality of that product. Even so, In-n-out is still better overall than either in my opinion.
Agree. I've been running Fedora as my daily driver for 7 or 8 years now, and for a while avoided HiDPI like the plague because it was so terrible. These days tho, it's mostly fine except the occasional app that hasn't been updated to support it. Oh, that and the pseudo-terminal (you'll have to squint to see that. Luckily Fedora is so dang stable that I haven't even needed that in years).
> I really hope there won't be a need to migrate back to Azure and its arcane and high pricing, strange UI, worse tooling..

Azure's VMs are definitely overpriced compared to both GCP and AWS, but most other services are reasonable.

Not sure what you mean about Azure's "strange UI"? Personally, I find the Azure Portal to be far more consistent than AWS' or GCP'. I also think it looks and feels great, and I'm obviously not the only one - I literally have customers asking me to replicate the Azure UI for their web apps!

Lastly, I find it somewhat incredible that you would complain about Azure's tooling - I've found it to be excellent: a snappy web UI, cross-platform Powershell, cross-platform Azure CLI, REST API, ARM templates... seriously, I'd be interested to hear what your beef is with the tooling?
yeah, I was wondering whether this article applied to only the older manual adjusted CPAP machines vs. AutoPAP machines.
Congrats on your round! FWIW, (me being in a space adjacent to yours) I see these kinds of comments all the time about the "my 1 off pipeline seems good enough".

Most people don't need "industrial strength" till you hit a certain scale. They tend to optimize for ease of use/simplicity. It's one thing if you don't have to change their workflow, it's another if you have to not only have people change their workflow but also teach something new.

Convenience matters more. There's a pain threshold of "new tool" vs "this costs me x amount of time".

How are you guys overcoming this? Even though we're also in the infra space, I've never seen you guys out in the wild. Where would I bump in to you and what is the scale I would want to add the complexity of k8s + pachyderm + whatever other deps you guys have over just using an S3 bucket?

Another question: Why hasn't AWS just packaged this up and offered it as an extension of their k8s service? How are you guys going to overcome that?

Usually I see "hybrid cloud" or "on prem" as the response.
If it is on prem, are you guys relying on the presence of k8s at customers? Do you guys use something like gravitational?

I’m running elementary OS on a new ThinkPad with a 4K HiDPI screen. GTK scaling looked beautiful right out of the box.

I had to set an environment variable on startup before Qt apps started scaling properly. Out of the box, the scaling was similar to WinXP—text elements looked good, images were usually too small. With the ‘improved’ auto-scaling switched on, Qt apps also look great.

Wine and Steam handle DPI scaling just fine too. It wasn’t automatically turned on, so you have to squint your way to the appropriate checkbox or slider, but then it’s crisp awesomeness from that point forward.

The JetBrains IDEs that I use for development are all based on Java Swing, and they looked perfect on the first launch.

Color me impressed with HiDPI Linux. The only thing that took a bit of effort was setting up a larger console font and configuring grub to use it in the boot menu. I can’t speak to Fedora, but I suspect it’s similar: a couple setup hurdles, but once you get everything configured right, it looks glorious.

The subtext of my argument is that they are standing in line not knowing what they're going to get, expecting (or at least hoping for) a revelation that is not going to come. I agree with Alexander that these burgers are the best burgers (I haven't had this one but am familiar with the genre! The best Chicago burgers from the same genre!), but I think Alexander has, ironically, a more sophisticated take on these things than his readers do.

Remember, the 2nd place burger on his list is an absurd chef burger, even by the standards of chef burgers.

My favorite Chicago food writer has a bit about NYC pizza (he's a former NY-er) that I think captures the spirit of where I'm coming from, which is that the food tourists that seek out the best NYC slice have missed the point entirely, and that the best NYC slice is always within 1-2 blocks of where you're standing.

There's a distinction between being "great" and being "destination food" that this whole article is lamenting people --- I'd include this thread among those people --- not understanding. It's funny to see that misunderstanding expressed on HN in the language of HN --- product pricing and product/market fit.

You've clearly mistaken my primary qualm. I'm not saying that Orangutans are not fully capable of the things these authors claim. Moreover, I'm not even saying bees aren't capable of conveying learned information. On the contrary, my position is that everything from bees to orangutans to humans have this capacity. In fact, I see this type of communication happening between lots of animals. It seems more like a ubiquitous capacity, than a uniquely human capacity. The authors of this paper don't agree though; instead they are promulgating the idea that "Orangutans are the only great apes besides humans to 'talk' about the past".

This is FALSE

In this article...

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4350813/

*Chimps used intentional gestures to coordinate with an experimentally-naïve human to retrieve hidden food. In each trial, Experimenter #1 hid a food item anywhere from 3 m to 26 m from the outdoor enclosure under natural cover (e.g. log, soil, leaves, branches) in a trial-unique location in the surrounding woodland, whilst the chimpanzee was watching. The experimenter hid the food and concealed any signs of the hiding place (e.g. breaking up of soil). The chimpanzee could not enter the woodland itself. In order to retrieve the food, the chimpanzee had to recruit the assistance of an uninformed person (Experimenter #2) and direct him to the food item.

The chimpanzees dynamically and flexibly modified their intentional gestures in relation to the naïve experimenter's search efforts towards the hidden food, and successfully guided experimenter #2 to the food item.

You can see in the supplementary videos that experimenter #1 finishes hiding the food at time 4:19...

Screenshot of timestamps: http://bit.ly/ChimpsCanToo

The chimp doesn't greet experimenter #2 until after 4:30 (see same screenshot above). If Orangutans are the only great apes besides humans to ‘talk’ about the past, how the hell is this Chimp communicating with a human to retrieve food it saw buried at some time in the past?

You are selling this FUD under the guise of "protect the children" when in reality you are restarting the issues we had with traditional cigarettes. The new regulations will pull vaping devices from stores and make it more difficult for those who do need them, thus making them go back to using cigarettes. People should be able to make their own informed choices and be able to put what they want in their bodies. Prohibition never works since it is not currently working (since all retailers are suppose to be checking IDs). This whole thing could have been avoided if parents talked with their children and school administrators did their jobs of enforcing existing policies / laws. There are much worse public health issues that need to be dealt with NOW and this is not it. Ever heard of the opioid / heroin epidemic that actually results in death and much worse health issues?
