The problem with this advice is that whitespace separation is relative (e.g. this element is 2x important, so it's separated by 2x whitespace). People end up picking too big base whitespace value.

> The key point to learn is that white space can produce layout as much as elements do.

Trick is, you can invert that too. While this won't win you a design advice this decade, it's equally possible to use backgrounds or borders to group and separate elements. It's how we did this back before negative space became fashionable, and it supports greater information density.
There's a bit of misunderstanding. Pavel is talking about backups to Google Drive / iCloud that you do in order to preserve the messages and move them to the other phone. While it's true they aren't encrypted, it makes a lot of sense for such a mainstream product — I wouldn't imagine the app asking people to save a private key for it.

All communication itself is E2E-encrypted with WhatsApp. Telegram doesn't have that by default but in return the app is available on multiple platforms and these instances work independently with great cloud sync.

I just have one break (lunch) and for tracking and internal billing, and for knowing whether I'm ahead or behind on my flexible working time (I'm expected to do 40h and I have a buffer that can't go above +15h or below -15h) I punch in and out in the morning, for lunch, and when I leave. On some days I don't bother or I forget, and instead enter, as you say "plausible but made up" values.
But the important thing is this: The flex time buffer is visible to my employer. If I do just a few late evenings or a sunday session because of some problem with a deployment, say - then It's understood that I'll come in by noon on monday, or take friday off. It's not expected that I do 40h of normal time AND that sunday firefighting. I can't see any problem with this or why it would be onerous or oberly bureaucratic.

They do support some GMO research as part of their commitment to improved agricultural output and food security in the developing world. I suppose it's a case of conflicting priorities. They've been into reducing poverty and hunger longer than they've been into environmentalism.

Even then it's not a straight trade-off. GMO can have harmful consequences, but if it reduces the agricultural footprint that's an environmental benefit.
The ruling is strange, because in my opinion part of a modern working environment would be driven by some form of mutual trust. If you put the burden of "proof of accomplishment" on the workers, that may stifle workplace attractiveness and pose a bureaucratic hurdle. Hence cracking down on untracked, yet (or even therefore) quality employment relationships would naturally appear a step in the wrong direction.

I get it, the Spanish workers may not have shared such mutual trust with Deutsche Bank, but I don't get how that has to have consequences for everyone else?

Or am I (and maybe even the reporting journalists) reading this wrong and work contracts may, and from now on have to specify otherwise explicitly, if that's how they do business?
A sad but true story:

I spent about 6 years in federal prison, and at my last prison location, I made a really good friend, Jeff. He could play guitar as good as Slash (he ran the prison music room), he was funny, and could run a D&D game like the best DM's out there. I knew him about 19 months before I release d to the halfway house. He was supposed to release about a year after me.

He had gone into the Army when he was 18. Because he could play the guitar, he got into a band unit, and they would march in parades and such. He molested his first victim for which he was caught while in the Army, and they gave him a hard 20 (20 years with no parole or probation). They also never ordered him into sex offender treatment. He spent most of his prison time in the military brig, but was eventually transferred into the Federal Prison system for being a troublemaker (brewing alcohol, getting drunk and fighting). That's how I met him.

I always wanted to be his friend after we got out of prison. I never expected him to re-offend, after knowing him pretty closely for a year and a half. When I asked my Supervision Officer if I could write to him while he was still in prison, I was ordered to not have any contact with any former prison acquaintances while on probation. I though, "Okay, I'll just wait until I finish my probation. No problem."

A few years after my release, I thought I would at least check up on him without contacting him. When I found out what he had done after he got out of prison, it was like I had been punched in the gut. I was in a state of numb disbelief for days.

Here are a couple of articles about Jeff:

You should read up on the ruling. Every country has to implement it's own law. It's allowed to include specific regulations on these corner cases.

Surely your qualm is with the “but isn’t” right? “It feels dangerous” is certainly subjective.

I think you’re not breaking things down sufficiently.

Subjective is how things feel, regardless of how they are.

Objective is how things are, regardless of how they feel.

Should probably replace feel with “are perceived” but feel is more contextual here.

No, some designs are meant to use you - think advertising, or applications that look "clean" and "ordered" to drive sales.

Even the designs meant to be used can support or hinder their intended use. Abuse of negative space is one example of hindering the use - by requiring users to scroll more than they should, or precluding them from visual comparison because compared elements can never fit on the screen together.

> We have solved this problem for music and movies already

Even in the US, arguably the golden land when it comes to the library size of the services you talk about, people are frustrated about walled gardens forming in these services.

Companies producing content (or companies at all) want to "diversify", especially into things they already have some content for (as is the case for publishing companies). The next question is how to pull people to your platform and the answer is simple: make your content available nowhere else. Thus, another walled garden is born. This is the pattern you see in the wild now that streaming has become popular.

This pattern does not solve the aggregation problem at all, in fact it stands exactly in the way of it working.
Only on windows. The mobo firmware only provided dumb storage. Windows has a feature that reads a section of the storage and automatically installs whatever it finds in it.

I think the idea is to provide a feature for persistent spyware. For example if a company wanted to be able to track their laptops even if someone factory resets it.
How much of this is due to safety features to reduce pedestrian injury in accidents?

Devil's advocate, but crash fatality rates have been on a downward trend for decades.

Some safety features like automatic emergency braking, abs, stability control, and modern (more powerful) headlights protect pedestrians as well as drivers

Somewhat recently, many cars have been specifically designed to reduce injury when colliding with pedestrians, and these models have become more common in the 2014-2018 window.

I wouldn't completely discount the research, but the majority of the reduction could be that newer cars are simply safer for everyone
Just like OP I'm a paying Dropbox customer that doesn't use the official client. I mainly use it to backup my 600 Gb and counting music library via Arq [1]. There's no way I'd store something as critical as my music collection in the default Dropbox sync folder. Plus, I only need a one way sync that preferably happens at night. So I have no need for the official client.

I know there are dedicated backup services like Backblaze, however occasionally I also need to share a large file or two with someone or need to offer a public download. It's often enough that I don't want to use wetransfer or similar services. Even more often I need a service that syncs data and settings of various iOS apps. While iCloud is fine, Dropbox is widely supported on iOS. I basically need a general purpose web storage and Dropbox seems to be the only one that handles all these use cases fine.

> If you put the burden of "proof of accomplishment" on the workers, that may stifle workplace attractiveness and pose a bureaucratic hurdle.

An example of such a system is a glorified Excel sheet, given to your manager monthly, where you write how many hours have you worked on a given workday and which project you should report the time on, if you have multiple.

Getting acquainted with the system might take half an hour. Filling it in, in most trivial cases, is a copy-paste that takes up to five minutes a month. In case you have a more complicated case of working times, you should already be accustomed to noting down your work time daily, even if for your own good.

I'll grant you that pig farms stink, but unless you are talking about a large concentration of cattle, like a feed lot, then cow and horse manure is just not generally considered "stinky" by anyone but the most fragile of city dweller.

Especially for those that grew up around it.

Grass fed cattle dung barely smells even when it's fresh. Same with horses. Pigs are the same, only when in concentration.

That differential is also specifically not what the ruling is trying to prevent.

What's off the table with this ruling is that a timesheet does not exist, because "we're all friends here, we trust our employees (to work themselves to exhaustion out of fear)"
I worry this will have a negative impact on culture in work environments with more of a return to “bums in seats” management rather than outputs focussed management.

That’s a pretty myopic view though many jobs have no objective outputs which makes hours one of the measurable metrics.

If the US President incites hate and violence via Twitter we would be having the same discussion no?

No. We might be having a conversation about the inappropriateness of such comments, but we have no laws against hate speech. In fact, a sitting president can call for imminent violence against a person or group (which is illegal) and the only recourse would be impeachment or waiting until the next election (he can be prosecuted after his removal though). So there wouldn't be much we could do if the US President did call for violence.
In Soviet Union common criminals were given lighter sentences because they were considered "socially close" to proletariat. Political prisoners were treated much harsher.

I see American communists infesting universities and outlets like NYT aren't any different in this respect.

I've had to record my work times accurately for a few years, it was kinda annoying, but also freeing. Wanted to work in the weekend? no problem. Wanted to leave early or sleep in? no problem.
Now I 'just kinda have to make sure I work my 40 hours' and always feel pressure to stay 9 till' 5 and do as little as possible outside of that.
I’m sure they could deal with it in a better way than they do, ethically - but they’re operating under the restraints of capitalism, which says compassion is too costly.
I work 4 days a week from home, one day off. No commute, having a whole day with my daughter (wife works on that day) and it's great! I also think I will look back at this time and really appreciate my decision when I get older.

I also know we are very lucky to be in a position to live like that. Others just don't have the luxury and need to work more because of the money.

When I last tried it, the core trouble of a diet like this (to me) was increased cost. Like the other extreme (eating basically only meat), an atypical diet means you need to dip into uncommon ingredients in order to end up with a balanced diet (for plant matter, getting the vitamins you normally get from meat can be challenging - especially to your wallet).

How did you solve this? If you did not, what would you estimate the percentage increase of your food spending to be? Can you give some insight into what part of the world you are (Africa/Asia/Europe/North America/South America or something of that granularity is fine), if you are comfortable with doing so?
You can think of it as the reactor pattern. You only have one physical CPU so all you are doing is churning through callback-based event handlers.

The callbacks in this case might be the literal interrupt handlers (in which case your dispatcher "loop" is actually the hardware). Or else you make your interrupt write a little bit of state that then gets dispatched by your actual event loop.

Either way, you write responsive software by doing everything in short-running callbacks.

I find it amusing that (some) sophisticated GUI and server framework for big computers re-invent this.
Hahahhaa. Ha. That's rich.

You can take China out of the headline, but you can never take China out of Huawei, which literally translates to "Chinese excellence".

Also, this comment is likely an indicator of a left-lean in geo politics, that tends to paint Israel as an aggressor, and attributes any action stemming from the country, even from private individuals or companies, to Mossad and the state.

Note also that left leaning politics, especially from South Asia, is very sympathetic to communist regimes, and will go to lengths citing narratives of plausible deniability in defense of China/Huawei.

All interviewing techniques are broadly disliked. A quick summary of complaints found on HN every time we discuss this (about once a week):

- Whiteboarding: algorithmic knowledge not relevant to daily tasks, we have google, obtuse coding environment

- Take home exams: companies have less incentive to respect time of candidate, favors candidates with lots of time to spend interviewing

- Small consulting gigs: not practical for programmers with existing jobs, draws out job search

- Informal conversations, reading resumes: not stringent, susceptible to talented bullshitters

To be 100% clear, none of the above is my opinion, I am simply restating what is regularly posted at this online watering whole.

A discussion of the failings of white-boarding without the context of alternatives is meaningless because interviewing techniques are search functions that all have precision/recall tradeoffs. That there are negatives to white-boarding is a given.

For example, consider that white boarding interviews are short (3 hours). This naturally limits the company's ability to evaluate candidates (less precision), BUT it saves time for the candidate and company (more recall).

So what happens here at HN every week is you get five people all bad mouthing a different interviewing technique, but we never get any closer to a consensus on a technique that would please even a simple majority of programmers (let alone everyone).

TLDR; you don't like white boarding, so what about making a compelling case for something else?
Through the game of tennis, I quickly learned that in order to achieve a state of equilibrium or balance, everything must be in moderation. When you hit a tennis ball, it's always a trade off between power and precision. You cannot gain in one area without losing in the other. Same principles applied to most things in life.

The problem with current methodology is we mostly measure intelligence strictly through very few standard categories like mathematics. Sure, mathematics is a universal language for everything in life, but to thrive in a human society it requires many more skills than just math. It's almost a given that when you have a gifted child measured by one of those standard categories, this kid often would have some types of deficiency in other areas that have not been measured because they are unestablished.

10% of human population have the genetics that provide them with much higher capabilities than the rest in some certain areas. Though this would take enormous effort, but if we provide adequate support to compensate for the areas where they lack, this should help raising them to a level matching the areas where they really excel, and thus achieving a higher overall equilibrium state. However, because the rest of our society is still operating at a much lower baseline, so even then it's always going to be a challenge for these individuals to fit in. Maybe they are just ahead, or behind, of our time in terms of evolutionary development?
The article largely mirrors how European countries deal with crime: low sentences and extensive re-integration programs.

My Java days are long gone, but modern C# code is not overly complex and, if you use fp principles where you can, even really quite simple to read. Ofcourse you have OOP design pattern addicts who write hard to follow overarchitected stuff, but your language cannot prevent that; people write convoluted stuff in any language.

Blaming just generics for that does not work imho; in Java people were writing really insanely over complex code close after the first release; I had an ex C++ guy before 2000 writing Java code that used every design pattern in The Book, everywhere he could and it ended up with 1000s of files and those strange long names that became the standard for Java a few years later.

I agree. I think even touch UIs should have some hints if you can click on something, and if you can click, force press, or long-press.

It would be great if someone could make hover work on touch UIs.

The great 1980's Mac OS UI was really something. You could explore the menus and see what options was available, and those that didn't apply was still there, giving a hint that you should selecting something to make then selectable.
