Gorgeous display unfortunately married to sub-par industrial design.

The colors are all off. Black display hinges break the silver line of the chassis. Two black buttons on the left do the same. Big black touchbar type thing coupled with white keyboard keys. Small trackpad that's not color matched to the chassis. Also, 'SAMSUNG DISPLAY' branding trashes the beautiful edge-to-edge display.

Only ID conceit I understand is the rubber pads at the edges, since presumably there's no room to add them to the edge to edge display.

Aside from the display, it looks like a bad MacBook knockoff. Samsung can do better, they have on some of their phones.
Yup i've basically always looked at it as an address book for a world where people's phone numbers and emails change regularly. Or, as a few people I know, just don't have a phone number or don't have an email they check regularly.
Does it deliver notifications to phones in China where google FCM notifications don’t reach?
> CSS works the way it does because it was created to make the kind of designs that designers wanted possible

Well, not originally. Later that became a thing, yes - but all the design that was already there at that point (circa CSS 2) remained, as did the overall approach with cascading styles.

A styling language designed for HTML5 today from scratch, accommodating modern use cases, would likely look a lot different.

I'd like to believe this but I've seen some really great contributors just get unlucky for 6 months or more, and then all of a sudden it's been a year and things are starting to look strange.

It's a great market for developers to get hired, but it's still possible to fall through the cracks especially if you aren't good at the specific skill of job searching.
> I have no idea which colors "go" with which ones, and pretty much all fonts look like the same for me.

Can't help on the fonts thing here, but for colors, there are a couple of things to consider. You can use color wheels of different kinds to find matching colors and harmonious color palettes to create/use in a color scheme. There are many online sites that provide this for free. While deciding on colors, you should also consider accessibility from the color blindness point of view and the contrast point of view.
iPhones already have a "mute" slider switch. When I first looked into iPhones (after years of Androids), my instant reaction upon seeing the slider switch was "Ah! FINALLY! I can feel at peace in the knowledge that software vulnerabilities are powerless to hack my camera or microphone!"

Of course, stupidly, the slider doesn't "mute" my camera or microphone, but only my speaker. For Apple to modify this slider so that it mutes my camera and microphones would require the daunting addition of two transistors. And the act of such a simple modification would put an end to the incredibly creepy, Orwellian possible reality that we all risk taking a part in every time we glance at the familiar tiny screens we have become so intimately glued to.

Apple should add those two transistors.

Honestly, I've never really understood the appeal of trying to shoehorn RAID into the FS itself. A more traditional softraid has always felt "good enough" to me (especially in this day and age of affordable SSDs).

ZFS in particular seems to push more toward RAIDZ, whereas I'm a bit averse to striping in general nowadays for data recovery/reliability reasons (RAID1 + JBOD is dead-simple to recover, more flexible with heterogeneous disk sizes, and much easier to reason about IMO).
> Over the past few decades, labor force participation has sharply dropped for men ages 20-34. Theories about the root cause range from indolence, to a lack of skills and training, to offshoring, to (perhaps most interestingly) the increasing attractiveness and availability of leisure and media entertainment. In this essay, we propose that the drop in labor participation rate of young men is a result of a combination of factors: (i) a decrease in cost of access to media entertainment leisure, (ii) increases in both the availability and (iii) quality media entertainment leisure, and (iv) a decrease in the marginal signalling utility of (conspicuous) consumption goods for all but the highest earners.
At the macro level, this results in sub-optimal production, as firms are unable to satisfy their demand for labor via the usual mechanism of increasing wages. If you believe that economic productivity and growth are good, this presents a challenge when attempting to design stimulus policy, because subsidies or increases to the minimum wage would yield the same non-result as firms increasing wages. We discuss the potential efficacy of the somewhat radical idea of a tax on human attention or time spent consuming entertainment media as a way to stimulate productivity.
nice, I haven't seen this in years.

I really laughed at the bit about 'structured programming.' As it turns out, long ago, structured programming was a thing.

> ZFS-FUSE existed before ZoL did. The reason they moved to their SPL-based solution is because FUSE didn't want to make the required changes to support high performance file systems.

These changes were made years later, but the developer of ZFS-FUSE disappeared, so they were never used.

The FUSE v3 API further builds on that, and today, it's definitely possible to build a high-performance filesystem using FUSE. In fact, there are many examples of this in the wild: GlusterFS, Ceph, NTFS-3G, and so on.

Today, there's absolutely _no_ reason ZFS would not sensibly work as high performance filesystem entirely from userspace. In fact, it still remains an open issue and a desirable target for ZoL: https://github.com/zfsonlinux/zfs/issues/8
This article is a bit of a joke "It's software so of course it's buggy" isn't a great argument when you're replacing something that didn't suffer the same issues.

I just count my blessings that runit is widely packaged in every major distro because it can just happily sit on top of sysvinit, systemd, upstart, pretty much any init system and does things in a very simple shell script style, I really wasn't a fan of the weird ini-like format for systemd or several different tools I'm expected to learn just to read my (now binary) log files competently.

If you're sick of switching init systems constantly or don't want to have to write separate scripts for your linux box and your freebsd box even, I highly recommend checking runit out.

I'm sure I'll give it a serious shot eventually... in about 3 years once they work all the Poettering kinks out, just like PulseAudio. They're doing some cool things with cgroups and stuff, so I hope it gets there eventually.
I'm still not following. Why would you want to reuse blocks (scopes?) rather than code?
If you can't trust the software at all, you might be better served with turning your phone off :/
What critics don’t get that there’s a huge market for what I call “dinner party toys”; something a bit ridiculous but inherently curious that you can whip out amongst your peers in an attempt to make an impression and gain some social capital.

This is particularly important if you’re affluent and everyone you know is similarly so which doesn’t allow you to just flaunt your luxury with any effect.

They’re not selling coffee you can enjoy but a story you can tell and experience you can share. Interestingly that experience doesn’t event have to be good (that it’s stupid is equally a selling point).

And if the ongoing mudfight that is Oracle v. Google is any indicator, it's unclear that it would indeed even be legal (it should be, but God only knows how the courts are gonna end up ruling in the end).
Your specific claim was that Apple has "zero secure coding training, zero push for security reviews, zero push for security QA, zero accountability"–this isn't true at all. Sure, Apple's software has had some serious bugs in it, but this does not mean that they have no security practices in place.
"This app is preventing shutdown". Yep, it's always iTunes.
Interestingly, YouTube gaming is basically an attempt to fight back against Twitch, and I find YouTube streaming works far better than Twitch streaming. I just get far higher quality streams with fewer glitches. Not all edicts from on high are created equal
> Meritocracy is a lie used by the privileged.

I don't understand this point of view. It sounds like, by calling it a lie, your real complaint is the ways attempts at meritocracy have fallen short of being an actual meritocracy. That being the case, isn't meritocracy still the correct ideal that we should be doing a better job of striving for?

If this is not how you feel, what is the word for the appropriate assignment strategy that we should be strive to use to decide who gets jobs and promotions?
Could you quote the relevant law from 18th century England that he broke?
Your frontend experience sounds like you've only dealt with web apps. Try making more web sites. That is, collections of pages that have enough content on them to scroll. Don't use any framework, don't even use JS if you can help it -- maybe something like PHP is ok to avoid some repetition (i.e. just use it for require_once of shared html). Then you'll understand the environment CSS was forged in. Ctrl+F the comments here for "box model" for the main "make it click" piece. (Edit: you might even want to try designing without CSS, to see what that's like. It's actually not that bad, and may well remind you of how things are typically done in frameworks these days -- a regression IMO, but a reminder that separation of design from markup isn't truly necessary.)
I'm in the dumb comparisons camp, so here's mine: Systemd is communism, BSD init is capitalism.

This is about the display. The laptop it's attached to is probably just a proof of concept demo platform for the display.
I don't follow your reasoning. Whatever the delivery costs may be, they don't determine the service cost. That's determined by value to the customer (though delivery costs sets the minimal viable service cost).

Their adherence to a subscription modivates the view of getting users on the platform for as long as possible, regardless of what they're watching. A pay per view model would twist motivations another way.
Thank you for that! It did take an hour+ to research it and write it up. And it’s kindof depressing that there’s been no movement, but I do understand that I’m not really able to contribute anything on the development side.
Oracle (presumably) acquired the copyright when they acquired Sun, so they actually could (presumably) answer that question with, say, a GPL'd release.

That'd mean Oracle actually using their army of litigators for good, though, and it'll be a cold day in Hell when that happens.

Because this is a political agenda paper to feed news to reinforce the views of a particular demographic.

Any sane, rational person who can put their ego and politics aside would look at the overwhelming evidence against mass-manufactured animal ag:

1. Pandemic risk

2. Antibiotics resistance

3. Pollution

Somewhere down the list: animal cruelty, feeding food-insecure people and so on.
I disagree about the value of the conversation. Airplane software is meticulously tested because of the safety implications. If we can't have proper testing for a widely used, sprawling piece of software that runs with root privileges and PID 1 we may be better off without that piece of software.

Also this: the equally widespread SQLite seems to be programmed with a much better level of discipline and comes with much better testing. It isn't nearly as bug-ridden.
nice. I just bought a System76 Linux laptop with a 4K display (and a 1070 GPU) and having a 4K display is really nice. I almost didn't upgrade to the 4K display and I am glad I did.

I think large TVs are great for supporting group-watch events but for personal viewing something really hires and nearby is better, IMO.
> There have been lively debates over on /r/canada, which went very one-sided (understandably) after China arrested two Canadians as leverage.

Which just shows how much this is not a rational debate, and never will be, when nationalism is involved.
I understand this feeling of CSS being some kind of black magic or something that just doesn't play by the rules. At almost every single place I work it feels like I am the only one who has a real grasp on CSS and makes stuff happen.

My personal advice is to take a website you are familar with and try and duplicate it with pure css and html. When you get good at simply writing it from scratch then you'll be able to understand it easily. You'll start to notice the red flag stuff, the useless UI libraries (useful is relative) and stuff that you could get done on your own easily.

My most important tool is the element inspector for any browser that isn't displaying as I expect it to.
I watched a few Golden Boy fights live on FB near the end of last year. And then went back to Golden Boy's FB page to watch some reruns that I'd missed.

I was thrilled to see those fights. The quality was pretty sucky but still better than not seeing them, and my connection to the internet is pretty sucky so I couldn't really complain much about that.

I like the chat going on with the live fights, it was fun to interact with other fans and Golden Boy did a pretty great job of producing the show.

It's not perfect by a long shot, and a $billion seems like a lot for what they've done so far, but I'll keep tuning into the fights and anything else that peaks my interests.
I also just saw a video about 60 years fox breeding experiment in Russia to see how selection would change their behavior (they're now tame to human, not dog friendly but halfway).

Exactly.

Generally speaking people like things that work well and hate things that don't. Any other justification citing 'philosophies' or similar nonsense are retroactive attempts to cast their feelings in a more intellectual light.

When somebody says "I dislike systemd because it violates the Unix philosophy" what they almost certainly actually mean is "systemd has caused me a lot of grief." You don't hear complaints about firefox or chromium violating the so called "Unix philosophy" because generally firefox or chromium will satisfy the overwhelming majority of users. That's why nobody uses Uzbl.

This is what systemd advocates (like the article's author) don't seem to get when they point out that systemd is a launchd ripoff so people who like launchd should like systemd as well. People like launchd because launchd doesn't cause them grief. People dislike systemd because systemd does. Design philosophies have jack shit to do with it.

Anyway the only real 'philosophy' Unix ever had was "worse is better" and systemd certainly seems to pay homage to that.

I know that when I was in his shoes, I felt like I tried everything to find meaning (community college classes, reading books, learning new subjects, etc), but it took me literally moving out and into a group house in San Francisco to find a community of other people like me (see https://stories.californiasunday.com/2015-06-07/real-teenage... for my story).

He actually can claim it, and does so. And that tiny percentage he captures, well that's called a "sample". When you take a sample from a larger population, it is safe to assume it represents some of the same properties as the population as a whole. Figuring out which properties are shared is one of the reasons humans aren't being replaced by machines entirely in the analysis department.

It is your job as the reader to invalidate some of his specific claims using sound logic and evidence. Which of his claims are you refuting?

I'm sorry, but I don't know what "General Assembly" is. I live in the US, so is this some part of a degree program in your country (if you live somewhere else) that I'm not aware of?

But coming back to your point, there have always been new engineers with weak skills, just like there have always been smart engineers as well. I don't think the choice of programming language changes this fact significantly, although certain languages may have a slightly higher proportion of inexperienced programmers than others.

Subpar health. I'm no specialist but fiber is said to feed beneficial bacterias in your lower intestines. This has a dual effect:

- if not fed right, these bacteria may consume gut mucus, causing inflammation

- when fed right, they actually improve digestion efficiency

Ah tzs again. Let me quote you:

"lot of reporting said he faced 30 years... Actually, he was looking at maybe 6 or 7 years if things went as favorably as possible for prosecutors."

So let me ask again, last time you didn't answer: Is the chance of a 35 year sentence for Aaron 0%?

No? Then do the intellectually honest thing and admit you are wrong. Your correcting somebody by saying wrong things. And then doubling down on it.

Low probability is not 0%. Whatever the probability was, it was real that they could have given him 30 years. Unlikely? Yeah. But I'll bet you wouldn't play Russian roulette at those odds; whatever they may be.
> iOS upgrades are not mandatory by any means.

The upgrades are not mandatory, but the downloads certainly are. I've had to delete the iOS downloads several times over years (including the downloads for iOS 12) because iOS doesn't have an option to disable this, and it automatically downloads the upgrade in the background when on WiFi for a long enough time. It's a cumbersome process to delete the download. It's even worse when you consider that a downloaded update would be installed overnight if you leave the device on the charger and connected to WiFi and by mistake tap on install when that prompt appears at some random time. The user interface for controlling and managing iOS upgrades does not exist.

> This is how you get phones running out of battery halfway through an update.

The OS could always put a limit saying the phone should be charged at least 30-40% for an update to start installing. Even now, the upgrades and updates are allowed to go through for iPhones without them having to be on the charger.

Hmm... I don't know if I'd want the headache of having everyone's passwords, tokens and API keys on a server I managed and deal with the privacy that goes with it...

But I was thinking of still supporting YAML or JSON formatted files to which users could protect with permissions and store their personal data there instead of being visible on the command line. the url would be something like file://path/to/config.yaml or http://localserver/path/to/config.yaml. So in a way, this kinda/sorta fits with your idea too :).

Good point. I just looked at Samsung's lineup [1] and it seems they're mostly plasticy machines aimed at the low and mid end of the market. I thought they had some high-end parts like Dell. Guess they don't have the platform to adequately show off the screen quality, so they just cobbled something together.
