> Sometimes I feel that it can be a lucrative trap to become invested in a single person, and then accumulate expectations that far outweigh the responsible obligations of any friendship.

Lately I feel like this about traditional romantic relationships as well. After a while many people start developing expectations of the other person and assume that they will or can meet all of your needs, when that's actually pretty unrealistic. I was in a six year relationship when I noticed that my partner wasn't meeting my needs anymore, and that my expectations of him which had grown over the years weren't really aligned with a healthy reality; this applied the other way around as well in terms of my partner's expectations of me as a person who's changed over the years. I recently left the relationship and am now re-examining my own outlook on the traditional relationship models.

> How has removing the headphone jack made anyone's life better?

Ancestor comments of this have explained that.

Removing headphone jack speeds up uptake of wireless headphones, and greater uptake of them makes them cheaper. These are changes that have already happened. This has benefited people who want to use wireless headphones.
It's a global loadbalancer that works across regions and directs traffic over their private network to the closest backend based on a number of factors, and provides a single IP endpoint to the rest of the internet.

Various CDNs like Akamai, Cloudflare and Fastly also have the same if you need to span multiple providers. Azure supports this also with custom endpoints.
> Women and minority founders typically have a more difficult time securing funding and/or resources that will help them build a successful company.

Well, but isn't it that normal ? is like saying that if you buy less lottery tickets you have it harder to win than those who buy more.

I think the issue is impossible to resolve, because we make groups based on attributes, so you can always make groups that share attributes that are less common among the total. Then those groups that are minority will always have less chance, unless you discriminate in favor them.

I'm open minded and I can accept that ok, gender is like very important attribute and we'll consider only that one, and we'll discriminate for some time until things are balanced. But, then we might need to change the constitution, and make discrimination by gender allowed temporarily, right ?

I guess everyone's known about this for a while. I guess it's a shitty move for the users, surely most channels have been sufficiently warned since they started removing the feature so long ago
> if banks were not liable for any money lost by a user if it could be shown that the user was using their banking password for any other service.

I believe in some places this is the case.

If you get hacked or use 123456 as password it is not the bank fault. If a service get hacked and the attacker discover your bank password it is not the service fault if they did their due diligence in securing your data.

> "If I know a problem isn't going to be triaged for months and solved for years, then I'm out."

Some problems are easy, low hanging, do it yourself. I guess that's not the issue here, but it's worth mentioning as a lot of OSS projects don't cater to solving these. (Expose some little bit from an underlying lib, make something configurable, etc.) And there are the uh-oh we have to refactor half of our codebase to solve that one by the way totally valid problem. And that's usually not a one weekend "project", and it is understandable, that it might take years.

And at that point, I feel that the entitlement of "make this work for me, because there's a project that depends on it" is the problem. Sucks to be the guy who have chosen the wrong tool, even if it looked like the best tool. It happens all the time.

I came into IT on FreeBSD back in 2004. Was a real fanboy and couldn't stop ranting about it. My first IT boss at the time got me into FreeBSD and PostgreSQL without actually knowing why. I had no real experience to back my opinion.

FreeBSD was my primary OS, both at work and at home.

To fast forward a bit I handed over my last BSD environment around 2012, last Solaris environment around the same time. After that I only had Linux responsibilities. Around 2014 I was running Debian as my primary OS and sent on a RHEL course in Stockholm.

The course leader sold RedHat to me so well that the very first night at the hotel I reinstalled my laptop from Debian to Fedora. Haven't looked back yet.

Been professionally building systems on Linux since before that. So I'd like to say my perspective spans over both sides of this argument. I've tried to summarize why I'd rather use Linux and why you might consider using BSD.

The only reason I can justify to use BSD is that the open source world needs competition. It would be dangerous if we only had one OS.

But all my professional sense of getting things done and keeping them stable tells me not to use it. Correction, I use OpenBSD on my router at home but that's it. OpenBSD has a reputation of being very secure (perhaps earned in part by having a relatively small user base) and I rarely need to login to make changes. Because the user space tools are horrible compared to Linux.

And I believe most of that stems from the community being much larger and therefore the software better tested and more mature.

I'm talking mainly about operational security and stability. I believe Linux does this much better than any BSD.

Less critical bugs, less issues with package management, better maintained packages and more binary packages available that don't require source building. Pretty much all things very reliant on a strong community.

More programmers available to fine tune user space tools and make them hum. A lot more docs available from hobbyists and officials.

Some of my friends today are hardcore BSD geeks and they often have to deal with system breaking bugs, kernel panics even. I can't remember the last time I saw a kernel panic in Linux. Almost every day I can see at least one issue in our chats dealing with package management or kernel and system bugs. Bugs in jails for example, or network management related to jails. They're often following the latest releases to remedy these but that's even worse than using Fedora on servers imo. Bleeding edge software just to avoid the bugs and be able to use the latest so called virtualization technology available.

Just attach the tiny little dongle that comes with the phone to the headphones. Then say to him that he can put the charging cable there and also the headphones cable.

Would this be too complicated too? You can get the EarPods with a lightning connector. If that’s too complicated then maybe you can draw a picture explaining it?

If any of you know Asian style box karaoke (small private rooms for 4 to 16 people) some places let you plug in external input... but of course they only have headphone cables so none of that anymore. I suppose they're supposed to some how setup Apple TV/Chromecast in every room?

Here in Tokyo anytime I enter a crowded train station or a crowded intersection my Airpods basically cease to function cutting in and out, mostly out, for the until I get out of the crowded area. Didn't have that issue with my wired headphones.

I actually mostly like my Airpods but I do wish my phone kept the headphone jack.

That's not how it worked. Turntables became obsolete then they become popular years later because everything about them is inferior.
More than the lack of headphone jack, I actually hate the lightning / usb-c / 3.5 mm inconsistency between the iPhone and Macbook. I mean, I usually would keep the dongle on my headset. But when I need to get on a Webex call or listen to music from you computer, I have to remove the dongle. I have misplaced them a few times because of this reason.

Although, I would say that the one upside of removing the headphone jack has been the release of Airpods. One you use them, there is no going back to wired headphones.
Arcentry: Programmable Cloud Architecture Diagrams
Code debt and shrinking use. Considering it's only on desktop and only on old videos, I'd assume the number of uses of annotation per view is probably under 0.01% in terms of traffic, and I can also assume it adds quite a lot of complexity to their player code.

Personally, I think maybe they could flatten all annotations into a single non-interactable layer and keep that instead. That would require a lot less code and do most of the job it needs to.
Crypto-mining hangover continues to hit AMD and Nvidia
Somethings that bothers me about your argument, is that Apple doesn’t support existing highend audio codecs (presumably to avoid paying the licensing fees) and doesn’t include wireless headphones or an adapter for 3.5mm in the box.

Instead they include wired headphones with a proprietary plug.

If you want high quality headphones with an iphone you have to buy some that license a proprietary Apple protocol or chip or settle for lower sound quality generic Bluetooth audio.

Thanks for taking the time to analyze the conference app. In contrast to my sibling poster, I actually think the Ionic demo conference app is what you get if you use Ionic. Sure, some stuff you can achieve with plugins (such as vibrancy), but overall, this is the styling you get if you start to develop an Ionic app now. IMHO, the point of Ionic is that you get a good UI toolkit built with web-technologies that don't require further customization.

However: I'm sure you're right with all of the things you listed. If you go back to the original question, it was: "Do normal people notice?" And my point is still: Normal people won't notice. You listed small details, half of them I don't even notice (search bar, scroll to top, switches, size of segment control, background color of a picker). For some things, you surely have a point and if your users insist on the last 5% of polish for that stuff, go ahead, do everything natively.

But if you see the conference app, the list views, the switches, the segment buttons and say: Well, it might not be at 100%, but surely at 90-95%, and this is good enough for me and my users, then I'd urge anyone to check out Ionic. Because going native obviously comes with a huge cost and the benefits of a Cordova-based app might outweight these details. Obviously, this again boils down to the fruitless discussion of "does dev experience matter or should only the user experience matter". This, you can only answer yourself.

I'm a solo-dev running a business and I can clearly answer this question with: Dev experience matters to me and my users don't give a shit about these kind of details, at least not enough to NOT use my app. I can even say: I have enough users. If some don't use my app because of small UI details, so be it.
Yes, but looking at Apple, Google, HTC, Samsung and recent history, I think it will come down to this: https://xkcd.com/927/ . I'm almost certain that whatever Apple developed for the Airpods will not be shared with other companies. And whatever other companies push forward as a "Standard" will not replace the Apple Solution in the near future. Even replacing apples crappy AFP Network Protocol took 13 years, until SMB finally took over in macOS Mavericks. And even then, they used their own implementation instead of the official "Standard" one.

Do you? Considering it was removed as a feature 2 years ago? I've not seen any in a long time. Yes if you go back and watch old videos, but as time pass, the % of people watching such videos will keep on shrinking, especially if you add the fact that views are increasingly moving to mobile anyway.

The code complexity on the player will stop being worth it at some point, just to serve 0.01% of views on annotated videos.

That table of cost structure of an iPhone seems pretty misleading. If China accounts for $8.46 of cost/iPhone, why not move the manufacturing over to US to counter the tariff challenges? Something seems amiss and is not being illustrated correctly. My guess is that the cost of labor plus the fixed cost of putting up a factory in US is probably the major breaking points.

Sadly (well at least to me) saying "thank you" for example in a github issue is considered next to spam. You can write a long description of an issue or solution and add "thank you" but it's considered a waste to say just say "thank you" when someone sends a small PR.

I disagree with that culture. I'd prefer we all exchanged the small "thank yous" even in github threads, code review, etc... but knowing the majority seem to feel it's spam I find most of the time I feel pressure not to write them.

Maybe a few "leaders" like Linus or whoever came out with "say thank you" would help?

> Total US Government Spending, federal, state and local, was increasing briskly, year on year, in the mid 2000s from $4.4 trillion in 2005 to $6 trillion in the depths of the Great Recession in 2009. For several years after the end of the recession total government spending leveled out at $6 trillion. But in 2015 spending started to increase again. per year.
Viewed from a GDP perspective, total government spending was steady at about 33 percent GDP in the mid 2000s and then jumped, in the Great Recession, to 41 percent GDP. But in the subsequent economic recovery total government spending has steadily declined as a percent of GDP down to about 34 percent GDP in 2015.

Maybe, but there was no austerity. There was a freeze in total spending in absolute terms and inflation was practically zero so real terms as well. The years prior to the crisis spending grew in absolute terms as th economy grew so spending stayed at the elevated rate

Tangential to the article, but on-topic to the title:

I saw the Dutch documentary #followme [0] the other day, about the incredible fakeness of Instagram, where for a couple of dollars you can buy 1,000's of Likes / Followers. And everyone - up to the kids in high school - is doing just that, to buy popularity (the metrics have actually become the determining factor for real-life popularity for many people).

Apparently one of the big shots in this shady industry is a Dutch guy (multi-millionaire now), who manages tens of popularity-boosting websites directly or indirectly (and not only for Instagram). He caters to celebrities as well, who sometimes buy millions of followers. For these high-profile actions they arrange special events, according to the docu, like publishing 'fakish' news articles to established news sites (Forbes was mentioned) to coincide with the artificial boost in popularity.

This can be considered fraud too, as 'popular' users benefit from influencer marketing deals (free clothing, travel, tickets, money, etc.) and there is a continuous cat and mouse game between illegit popularity boosters and marketeers. Professional investigative companies jumping on this train to filter out the bad apples, etc.
