> Your needs don't define the needs of everyone else in this world...

But yours do? You are part of, in my experience, a extremely vocal minority who are doing exactly what you are accusing me of.

> In case you didn't know, audiophilia is actually a very expensive hobby so most people aren't audiophiles.

I am actually very aware of the fact that it is an expensive hobby. A lot off the tat is baseless nonsense.

> Most people pissed off about the removal of the 3.5 mm jack are not audiophiles. It is the everyday people wanting to listen to their device through headphones that are inconvenienced by this move.

How? They gave away a dongle until the X series phone. It works just fine. I see on my daily commute a heck of a lot of headphone users. I see a lot of dongles and I see a lot of wireless headphones, AirPod being extremely common. I can only presume that the majority either use the headphones that came with their phone (a lot of apple headphones out there) or keep the dongle attached.

> ...now they have to use a dongle to do something as basic as listening to their device privately.

So? A bit of history; back in the day, expensive 'on/over the ear headphones came fitted with TRS Audio jack (6.35mm). In order to use decent headphones on your walkman/discman, you had to use a converter (a dongle in modern parlance). The horror!

> Not to mention the fact that Apple/Google/HTC/etc claim that the reason why they removed 3.5 mm was to improve sound quality. In their opinion, 3.5 mm is archaic and is holding back the audio industry. This seems like a bullshit excuse, because you don't hear any audiophiles complaining about that...

Do you have any evidence other than the opinions of individuals who spend thousands on snake oil?

> If they removed 3.5 mm because it's holding audio back, where are the improvements and benefits from using their latest hyped flashy "adaptive" audio technologies? Where are the white papers? If you ask anyone working in high fidelity sound, I don't think anyone would have suggested that this is what we needed.

For portable music players, I doubt many would care...

A License Key Algorithm for 2019
Android as a standalone product gets replaced by Chrome OS on phones, but it sticks around as a runtime inside that. Fuchsia isn't ready for prime time, but we'll add those later!

You realize many, if not most, people reading this work at places already big enough to have "VCS scaling issues". I've seen more than a few monorepos, but I've never seen one used as anything but a collection of small repos.
Same here. I used to get in at 6. 6-7 was the most productive hour of the day because general staff got in at 7.
But my co-worker always wanted to talk right when we got in.

No, I've had several students answer "I don't know" to every question on the final exam. (About one every two or three years.) Without exception, they got a 25% on the exam and an F in the class.

Other theory instructors at Illinois do put limits on their IDK policy, like "at most 10% of the total points", or "for at most one question", or "not in my class". So far I've stuck to my guns.
Author here. My point is that if a mall that is by all accounts one of the success stories can only fill space with low-quality retailers, maybe the situation is more dire than we're being led to believe. I live in that area and was shocked to see how many storefronts had suddenly gone low-rent. But YMMV.

> iPhone’s did a good job hiding that away

The iPhone 6 became practically unusable due to throttling. They were not hiding the issue effectively. But they didn't tell people that the issue was the battery. Affected users complained on forums, and tried all kinds of things like factory resets and uninstalling certain apps but couldn't find out why there phone was unusably slow. And Apple support didn't help either. They just suggested to install the latest update.

Only after Batterygate became public did people find out that they needed to swap the battery to fix their phone. I bet a lot of people threw away their phones becUse they didn't know. (why bother replacing the battery when your phone has become unusably slow?)
Do Parents Matter? (1998)
Brewing? We have had a national housing crisis since the bubble around 2005 made housing unthinkable to a generation and then the crash destroyed those who did manage to wedge into an overpriced house. Since then we've reinflated to sacrifice the young to the baby boomers, and now it looks like another crash is looming. The housing market hasn't been sane in 20 years.

Brewing? Seriously? People wonder what is fueling populist rage and a desire to basically fire everyone in any position of authority or expertise...
Ooops - I meant that left and up arrows were replaced by _ and ^. The up arrow was used to indicate return and Smalltalk V used the caret (^) for that, which was a reasonable approximation.
It was just a tech demo for a conference, but yeah, the reception was not friendly, to say the least, along the lines of "How did you dare to hack on Gimp, doing this, without doing us the courtesy of asking for permission first!"

Agreed. I recently moved from the Midwest to Boston and the housing and rent prices are giving me major sticker shock. My rent has tripled and looking at the housing prices, looks like they have too. Who's buying these 1 million dollar homes?
Meanwhile, I grew up with a pit bull / bull mastiff mix that we rescued. Nicest dog in the world (he sure looked mean, though, on account of him being a giant pit bull).

Of course, it all depends on training. I'm with you on not believing an adult rescue in a house with a small child is a good idea. One you rescued as a puppy and made sure was well-trained, though? Sure, sounds like the perfect babysitter in canine form.

This is true of most (probably all) dogs, of course. Smaller dogs thankfully do less damage on average, but they also tend to be a lot more inherently aggressive ("Napoleon complex" and all that; they have to be as a survival strategy). Especially as rescues, they're the ones more likely to bite small children, since even small children are bigger than them and more likely to severely injure them.
That's exactly correct. And yet people talk about reducing growth. That is opposite of what we need. AGW is the worry of people with money.
Since very early versions of Android, APIs existed for determining the characteristics of the hardware/software environment: What sensors exist, input methods, etc. If your app works on tablets and phones and handles orientation changes correctly, it will probably work in a window on a Fuchsia OS device.
That may be the case but it's a HN feature/expectation that news that's not recent be disclosed as such in the title.

Let me tell you what it is. They were not in charge. They designed for love of the design, performance|correctness and the output. They did not design for other people. There is no joy in designing for another persons expectation based on experiences that person had with other software.
Development with thousands of developers is hard. The problems with monorepo and polyrepo are only subtly different. Either way you need a fairly large team just to handle the tools you need to solve your problems. Some of your problems will be because of repo organization (again, both choices have downsides that you need custom tooling to solve).

Note that most of your problems will be related to having a thousands of developers and repo organization is irrelevant.
Never heard of Williams Sonoma before, visiting their website gives me an idea as to why...

It is known that lithium alters human behavior. Given that, the "assumption" of it altering brain chemistry is a red herring: because "drug that alters human behavior" and "mind altering drug" are the same thing, with or without theories about brain chemistry. Even in an alternate universe where the mind resided in the spleen, if someone suggested that a drug should be added to the water to improve mental health, it would be tautologically identical to say that they wanted to add a mind-altering drug to the water supply.

Now, to make the argument more longwinded but also more correct, if lithium treated stomach ulcers and the children were misbehaving because of discomfort, it would be impacting human behavior without being a "mental drug." However the evidence does not indicate that the counterfactual situation I proposed is true - in fact, just about every study agrees that lithium is a mental health drug prescribed to treat mental health problems.
Judge Blocks New York City Law Aimed at Curbing Airbnb Rentals
Squiggly line plots get old after a while. No narrative plot probably means, like me, people don't stick around after the novelty wears off.
your car analogy is not a good one.

modern cars retune their engines on the fly based on engine temperature, fuel quality, local air pressure, and other factors. this is to extend the life of the engine in general and to prevent catastrophic failure from knocking.

if you use your car as an appliance (the way most people use phones/computers), you will barely notice the fact that your car's performance is constantly varying other than a bit of sluggishness on a cold morning. to an enthusiast, it's almost impossible not to notice what the car is doing.

most apple customers just want their phone to not crash. if you offer them a performance/stability tradeoff they won't know what to pick anyway.
Just look at the airline industry, planes are flown by software 90% of the time. Do you also worry about a global blackout of autopilot software? Seems like a silly thing to get stuck on. Our banking and electrical grid systems are far more prone to failure than anything built in SV.

You're not wrong, but this law will still (IMHO) have a positive effect in that it will reduce the number of impulse purchases of non-rescue animals. Also, shortening the supply chain will make it harder for breeders to dump animals with genetic defects on the market without repercussions.
The sane argument is about avoiding escaping of nested quote characters.

It's easier to use double quotes if your text is english (or other language that uses apostrophes).

It's easier to use single quotes if your text is HTML (for double quotes)

I've seen an argument to use template literals (backticks) almost everywhere. I don't know if that involves any real performance hit, but I've also not adopted this convention, at least not yet.

> Per capita energy usage in those cities is lower.

Oh, sure and where in a city you produce food? Industrial product? I know for sure that an apartment consume less energy than a single house to be heated/cooled. It consume more to being built and maintained though and more important it can't be really used without non urban area... That's the real problem.

On economic productivity it's the same: more money turn, but they turn because suburb exists, without them it's like the ancient I think Sioux Chief that say "when you finish fish what you count to do? Eat dollars?"...

This is the real sustainability I talk about.

Without counting the amount of prime matter and energy needed to build big architecture vs small distributed ones.
Thank you for the talk and for sharing the link to this!
If requirements are not clear, stop coding and start asking questions. If your company track stories in JIRA then tag PM or anyone from the business who can help you clarify the requirements. From my experience, PMs are not sure what the exact requirements are. So asking them questions open up a channel of back-and-forth discussion.
There’s no feedback.

I truly wouldn’t post something if I didn’t feel it was relevant so constructive feedback (as per HN guidelines) is much more useful than silent downvotes.
> While I agree that some Makefiles are terrible, I disagree that make is absolutely horrendous.

I agree with the parent on this point (although make is not _the_ C/C++ build system) - makefiles are horrible. Make is arcane, full of quirks that bite you as a beginner, and suffers hugely from being not-portable (gnu make is not the same as other flavours, and make on windows is practically non-existent)

> could you point me towards something that is not type safe in C++

That’s really just a semantic question over the definition of middle class. If it’s median income then sure, those brands are generally out of reach. However for many middle class might also refer to various tiers of purchasing power, in which middle class may represent something closer to the 70-90th percentile of incomes.

>why bother leaving the couch at all? Why not just get what you want on Amazon?

You are obviously pro-amazon...but my experiences with amazon are awful.

From counterfeit goods, to just shit products (examples: dress ties that stain my white dress shirts, ill fitting clothing, to goods that never arrive, even amazon basic products have turned out to be embarrassingly shit quality).

I recently purchased a new snowboard jacket and would never have thought about rolling the dice on amazon when I could buy online from the manufacturer direct at the same price and know I’m getting the real deal.

I completely understand someone opting for an in person shopping experience over amazon. buying online direct from manufacturers is one thing, but I honestly can’t understand why anyone would buy from amazon after my experiences.

Define "far from the city". A 3br for 500k is available (if on the low-ish end) for Whaltam, which Boston folks consider to be in the middle of nowhere, but if it wasn't for traffic/transportation problems, wouldn't be all that far (it's not very far at all if it wasn't for the traffic issues). A friend of mine just got a 1BR 50 minutes away for <150k (and it wasnt even a fixer upper, and is on the commuter rail).

50 minutes is "far", but it's far from insane...

IMO Boston has a lot of places that can be developed within 30-45 minutes before we really need to start tearing everything down. (There's 3 high density development in construction literally in my backyard, so I'm not saying that because I have anything to gain from it, either).

The biggest thing to fix about the Boston area right now is the entrance from the suburb into Cambridge...the Alewife area is ridiculous, but that's what happens when you built a ton of mid/high rise without proper planning of infrastructure.
Another reason people abstain from drink is because they used to drink heavily until it caused noticeable harm. If some of that damage is permanent, it can make moderate alcohol use seem comparatively healthy even if it's also slightly harmful.

Fair enough. From my perspective I'd say the mall is a success story _because_ it can still fill storefronts with independent operators. Is that a sign of impending doom? Maybe, or a sign of a transformation in progress, and I give you credit for perceiving that change as it's happening.
> If any one of those developers had _needed_ the feature, I bet it'd have been implemented in no time at all.

The ticket the blog author refers to was opened by someone @google.com. There are at least 5 different additional @google.com addresses chiming in in favor of such a feature.

Even when developers want something, they don't always get it on the schedule they desire.
With monorepos you don't have to manage PRs for 8 different repositories when adding a feature.

In my experience it's hard to establish clear boundaries, regardless of repository kind. It may be more difficult to create features which are tightly coupled across multiple repositories, but people do it regularly. And when they do, you suddenly have to manage and maintain synced features across multiple repositories.

In fact, the repo tool for the android project makes it quite easy to develop features across repositories, thus lowering the boundaries significantly.

I'm much more familiar with the other NH mall in Nashua (Pheasant Lane). I guess I would have said that it, at least, has long been midrange at best--not that I've made a study of it. It does have an Apple Store which is something of an outlier for the mall as a whole but, as you allude to, Salem and Nashua are both somewhat unusual because of the sales tax situation.

Pennsylvania and Ohio are interesting in that they contain many rust belt towns devastated by de-industrialization. You can buy an affordable house in Erie, PA or Youngstown, OH because the populations of those towns have fallen as the jobs have left.

Doing this type of analysis state-by-state doesn't really tell the story as you can't really live in Youngstown and work in Cleveland or live in Erie and work in Pittsburgh.
