The technology is super cool. As is the stuff where they can reconstruct audio from a video of a potato chip bag that was in the room. Fast computers, DSP, effective pattern matching and reconstruction... some of the most fascinating stuff out there.

Where it gets scary, I guess, is where it upends the standard norms and expectations of privacy. As the tools proliferate, forensic reconstruction type analysis becomes available to almost everyone, which totally opens the doors for new levels of creepiness from all sorts of actors...

I'm not confused, I just don't consider iPhone 7 and iPhone 8 anything other than clearance models. This is electronics, buying old models is just insane particularity since they aren't discounted enough over their original prices.
haha glad you liked it
I’m running both a 5S and 6S with latest iOS. An iPhone 8 should be good for st least five years.
Totally, takes some getting used to with a trackpad. Move + look at the same time a lot for the brain to do. Just pushed experimental gamepad support if you have a controller lying around.

Decentralised marketplace, maybe? Open-source, trustless. So people can't scam you. Not saying that blockchain is a good way to do this: For instance, privacy would be a major red-flag, as well as the question of who's going to do the mining.

[edit]

Just found this: https://openbazaar.org/ Doesn't appear to use its own blockchain. Does use cryptocurrency though, for largely privacy and anti-censorship reasons. Uses multisig capabilities in Bitcoin to enable escrow/chargeback.

As to why you wouldn't do the same thing for bananas: Weed is illegal, so any business selling weed is in danger of being shut down. Something decentralised is more immune to getting shutdown. Compare Napster (centralised) to BitTorrent (decentralised).
It hasn't happened in a year (I still use it) so whatever the issue was I don't see it anymore :)
> History is full of people who made big changes to the world. Those who made a positive contribution seem to mostly have emerged from obsecurity after spending years labouring at improving something small and succeeding in a remarkable way.

Very interesting. Can you give a few specific examples of this for me to look into? How have you come to the conclusion that this is a trend?
You mean Kbps? 114 Mbps is the same as a 4k Blu-Ray per device which means you'd have to have >gigabit internet.
My partner has an XR and loves it. Granted she upgraded from a 5, so anything would've been an upgrade, but she likes the button-less X design and excellent camera but had no interest in the super high-end XS.
I think you want the same datastructures moving up and down all layers of stack, otherwise you pay a marshalling penalty at each layer which is terrible for perf. If this is true, then we'd need to see fast immutable memory models inside GPUs that could natively represent persistent trees (moving away from pointers to mutable array buffers). Otherwise, the imperative way will always be at least C times faster, which seems a dealbreaker for the trailblazing researchers who forge the path the application layer follows.
How the Myers-Briggs Personality Test Began in a Mother's Living Room Lab
All platforms could share the same syntax->s expression desugaring code, so I'm not sure why that would matter.

The difference Clojure has is that the core language is tiny, but you could do this with an alternative syntax as well. You'd just need macro support, even if they're more clumsy to write.

(I literally have an editor open working on a Clojure compiler as I write this, so I don't disagree with your premise).

There was nothing inevitable about Apple’s dilemma. A lot of this boils down to the choices they made and their own vision in the company.

Definitely the biggest most recent disappointment was the HomePod which has the technical potential to be a pillar of their home and business market.

It’s a nice speaker. It’s a nice speakerphone. It has most of the hardware necessary to serve as a WiFi router. It could replace Apple TV, or serve as a higher end version of the Apple TV.

What it is lacking is good I/O options and the ability to integrate into, even become the centerpiece of peoples’ existing A.V. systems. Not to mention there’s entire classes of Apps that don’t entirely need a GUI front end to be operated and used (podcasts, music, VoIP, meditation, metronomes, et cetera).

With just a bit more vision and a voice lock, you could have a nice speaker/mesh router/home automation hub/conference speaker/personal assistant and hell, game console. If they played their cards right, you’re potentially talking several HomePod products (higher end and lower end models) per customer.

The Apple TV, which has all the requisite hardware and software to be an excellent game console, and upgrade path, but a blindingly stupid set of policies which inhibit its appeal as a game console to both developers and gamers. This is a big market of potential customers that Apple could get a nice slice of, but intentionally choose not to target. They don’t bundle a game controller, they don’t have a SKU which bundles a game controller, they don’t market it towards gamers, they actually require developers to support the Siri remote which is anemic even by remote standards, let alone game controller standards. There’s no Apple Game Studio, there’s no attempt to build relationships with large game studios and publishers beyond just being appealing enough of a platform to have a few games ported to iOS, and maybe a few free to play spinoffs of some IP.

In short, the only reason the Apple TV isn’t a powerhouse gaming platform is because Apple has no interest in owning a segment of a lucrative market.

The whole deal with their desktop Mac lineup, and their professional Mac lineup has been a shit sandwich. The fact they eventually had something to show isn’t an excuse for the years of not communicating to a set of customers willing to pay a lot of money for professional Apple hardware and professional Apple software. Now we know a Mac Pro is coming. Now we have the iMac Pro. Now we have an updated Mac Mini. Now, where is the roadmap? The sign of commitment to maintaining an up to date lineup so professionals, the ones that didn’t leave for greener pastures, might have a sense that there is some commitment from Apple to keep their Pro line going?
none of the data breach happened because of the key leak.

Key exchange is the least of worries.

Also a QKD receiver is expensive and you have to have connect to a satellite by powerful lasers. If you connect to a ground station then its no different from regular Internet.
I agree. The notch simply does not look premium at all. It's the kind of design decision you would see in lower-end phones as a compromise.

The fact that so many Android OEMs followed suit surprised me. The usual chinese iPhone clones going along with it? Sure! But so many 'reputable' companies went for it, it's just incomprehensible.

Anecdotally I just can't imagine someone preferring a notch to no notch (as long as the bezels aren't massive on the alternative). What kind of data were the Android OEMs looking at when they made that decision? Or did they not look at any data at all and simply go with "we better follow Apple on this, just in case".
Yes, for example https://neanderthal.uncomplicate.org/
The fact that the 5s got iOS 12 is more of an exception than the rule. The 5 stopped at iOS 10, and the 4s stopped at iOS 9, so the general trend should have stopped the 5s at 11.
> It's even more absurd seeing how many Android OEMs followed suit with the notch.

Many Android OEMs let you hide it by painting the top bar black, though. It's even more ludicrous than that because Apple actually advertised the iPhone X by releasing a press photo where the notch was hidden due to showing a full-screen image with a mostly black background. Someone actually took Apple to court for deceptive advertising, because of that and other stuff they're quibbling about. But Apple won't allow us users the same freedom when using the device!
I don't want a 7 because it comes in either 32GB or 256GB, no 64GB or 128GB.

I don't want an 8 because I don't want a phone with a glass back.

iPhone SE was perfect. Metal all round, small, affordable, powerful.
I don't understand the issue with the notch. You either have a notch or a full bezel....
I'm always thinking about doing so yet the perfect one I imagine is actually too complex for me to make - I hardly am too much of a frontend developer so far.
The PC never had sprites

Fascinating indeed; thanks for sharing!
"equal effort" in your sentence is very important. Effort is rarely equal and life is not a simulated situation like a race. Success is not a one-variable equation that can be solved with "talent".

Some people like smaller phones. It’s not that hard to understand.
Er, that's not an "area", that's the game trying to interpret some non-map-data as a map. :/

Having sent the kernel maintainers a patch adding support for hardware they don't have (in my case, it was a network card): they merge the code after just reading over the code and checking it compiles. Keep in mind, however, that they usually have decades of experience in their particular area of the kernel, so they often can tell at a glance when you're doing something wrong or unusual.
The iPhone 6 and beyond are too big for my tastes. I reluctantly upgraded to an iPhone 7 after destroying my SE. Even after owning the 7 for over a year, I find it uncomfortably large at times.
Yes. Maintainers themsevels are also fully capable of breaking support for HW they don't have.

It's a collaborative project. If support for your HW gets broken, you can bug someone to fix it or fix it yourself.

What I do to keep my HW working is fetch -rc1, test it, and send fixes.
But if you had bought the 5 when the 6 was new, you'd be stuck at iOS 10, which is missing several security updates, two iterations of new emojis, and many apps refusing to install or update by now.
Not built-in, but there are libraries.
Theoretically 360 terabytes potential storage, so they could theoretically have loaded it up with a bunch of stuff but in reality they have only ever made them ~3 MB in size specifically for these PR pieces.
No, but I can see why you thought so.

The invocation above creates one object file for each C source file, as temporary files, (in a Unix system you can watch it do this with a suitably powerful syscall tracer, presumably something similar is possible on non-Unix systems but I don't know exactly how)

Then it links them and produces the output you've mistaken for an "object file", then it deletes the temporary files.
i'd happily pay up to $1200 for a high spec 4" phone.

i'm on an SE. i got this phone fairly late into its life cycle and it was a deliberate choice. my biggest regret is probably not getting a second one before they discontinued it because when my current SE fails i have no idea where to get a replacement.
Wait, shitty software from apple instead of the shitty software that's already on the Samsung TVs? No thanks.
There were phones with slightly larger top/bottom bezels than these and they still managed to even have dual front-facing speakers as well.

I'd say even 5-10mm of bezel is a good thing, because it helps those with large fingers to hold the phone without fouling the screen.

(Bezels used to be wide for technical reasons; but now that they don't need to be for that reason, it's necessary to consider whether there are other reasons they should remain.)
What’s wrong with an iPhone 7 or 8?

Unfortunately even last years models do not support LTE band 71, so they are a poor choice for T-Mobile US customers. No dual SIM support is another reason for many.

Olive / Kdenlive and iMovie / Windows Movie Maker are vastly different types of video editors.

What a question and one that I think more and more - certainty than any time before In history will be contemplating and most importantly, acting upon. I’ve co-written an article on it and will post here soon...
Consider the iPod: the differentiation was about things people would care about, like size, capacity, portability, style, etc. You weren't made to feel cheap just because you entered at the lower price points. You wanted an iPod Mini, and it made sense that it cost less than the Classic: you were still getting "the best" version of the thing you desired.

Same story with the Mac: buying the iBook didn't make you feel like you were cheaping out, you were making a conscious choice for what you wanted, not buying "last year's PowerBook".

With the phones it's very different. Buying an old phone doesn't make you feel good, it just makes you think "I know this isn't the best, but it's all I could afford", and that's very un-Apple feeling -- especially when you still have to pay quite a lot.

Apple has apparently boxed itself into a corner, though: this is its second attempt to segment the line (the 5c being the first) and both have failed because they didn't feel like different things, they just felt like cheaper ones: the 5c was just a plastic 5S, and the XR is basically an XS with cheaper camera and screen.

So how else can they differentiate? Making a small phone won't really fly - while I'd love an SE-sized XS, the Chinese market they need to win back wants its phones big.

That only leaves the margin to cut, and that's a shibboleth. You can see why they'd much rather focus on services to escape this fix.
That is because hyperparameters are indeed a mystery and the fine tuning of those is more an heuristics based art, than a science.
That's exactly the issue with the notch, it serves no particular purpose other than allowing 'more screen.'

Does losing 5mm at the top the screen to bezel really affect user experience when the phones are huge anyway?

If not, why make it break the display uniformity and separate notification icons...

What notch?

I have an X too and seriously I never notice or think about the notch in normal use.
There's more factors than that though, such as commute time and general desirability of the area you buy in, stability of your job, insurance, etc.

My wife and I bought an XS (for her) and XR (for me). We both had Nexus 6p and they were at end of life and wanted to get her a nicer phone for Christmas.

Well, after playing with both the XR takes better photos, generally. In addition, the XR gets probably 30% more life on a single charge. Nothing else on the XS is really much better (outside of a couple nice to haves). So now she has the XR and I have the XS.

ID recommend and XR over the XS for everyone.
Oh please. What a red herring.

Tantamount to complaining that it doesn’t come in the proper shade of beige.

It has no effect on utility. It actually compresses fixed UI elements (tray icons, the clock, status indicators) up into corners. Those fixed elements would otherwise require a solid bar to consume 1/20 of the viewing area, and there’s still the physical camera and speaker to consider.

Have fun rationalizing other trivialities. Less obvious is the lack of a reliable button, and the useless face unlock idea.

It’s not the geometry of the pretty blinking lights. It’s that the trade offs it’s intended to integrate with and enable are underwhelming.
It's widely understood how the wake-word system works. You can monitor how much data is being uploaded and when. So no, it's not possible to just stream everything you say undetected.

I started my career in CS with zero knowledge of what I really wanted to do out of college. However back in early 2000s, I was extremely frustrated of how difficult/buggy online banking portals were for managing my finances, so I decided to get into Fintech for a couple years. Eventually that led me to designing a nationally awarded banking portal that was ahead of its time in relation to its online features.

Then I became a gamer as a young adult, and decided to get into social/mobile gaming as I couldn't find any games on those platforms that really catered to a traditional gamer. I ended up building a few real-time action-rpgs and strategy games that ran within the browser and on mobile.

Then I got really technical in driving better gaming/interactivity in the browser, because I was hitting so many annoying limitations. So I joined the Adobe's Flash and open standards team to push these boundaries. We managed to add 3D gpu rendering to Flash, and while making progress with browser standards for better native multimedia-related features.

Now for last few years I've started to expand outside software and dive really into academic political philosophy, and I became really concerned with the current polarization in the US, and it's total lack of real genuine communication between people of differencing views. So (plug) I'm creating a self-funded startup that's a live debate platform called https://DinnerTable.Chat that hopefully provides a helpful communication medium for authentically discussing viewpoint differences (as it is, after all, an emotional journey to change one's mind). I don't know if this will work, but I've always trusted my intuition of following the desire to solve things that bug me.

Would have bought XR if it was smaller. Currently using 7 and even XR is just too large to be called a phone anymore. XS is a monstrosity from my point of view.

You did manage to remove data dependant branch (which indeed should improve performance), but I guess the dependency chain it created was too long.

It might even be a dependency through "dst" value. CPU reorder buffers are nowadays long, ~200 instructions, so not knowing where to write on the next loop iteration might be stall the core. Didn't have time to analyze this very deeply.

Then again, not knowing (or more like only conditionally data dependant known, with a dependency to previous iteration) where to write on next round is a pretty fundamental problem when you want to remove chars from string.
"We trusted people" is a classic denial of responsibility. The people shoving in the new-feature changes helped create the problem. It's great that at least one of them seems to have had a change of heart, but starting by blaming (unspecified) others suggests that the change might not last long. Expect reversion to form in a few months.
