I don't know! That sounds like a worthwhile project to me; I'm on one email mailing list which only comes out in a nightly digest in order to remove the incentive for instant responses and promote thoughtful response instead. Harvard's Rotisserie system (http://h2oproject.law.harvard.edu/) was another effort in that direction. And I was also on Slashdot starting around 1997, and I observed the incentive structure of its commenting system pushing discussions in the opposite direction — with commenters racing to make the first comment in a new comment thread, even if it was just "First post", before the voting system was introduced.

The biggest difficulty I've had with such things is a sort of Gresham's Law of attention: because Twatter and Fecebutt (and IRC) offer the possibility of instant reactions, I have a strong temptation to spend time on them instead of in more thoughtful, slower forms of interaction. The wild success of Fecebutt and, even more so, Zynga, suggests I'm not the only one.

It's quite dissapointing how little attention Tim Cook's statement has gained on HN over several days but then again, it might be indicative of what the people on this site generally want, privacy might not be it.
Just to offer a counter anecdote, I am passionate about this topic because it involves life and death. I care about my car in so far as it gets me places. If I didn't need it in my car centric city I wouldn't have one. But, as other people drive, and I walk or cycle, I want those people to have car GUIs that do not distract them.
Data, Surveillance, and the AI Arms Race
Dynamic languages like Python do not have this issue as you can mock any method runtime for the duration of test. This can done via "monkey patching". It is unclean, but the development cost of having a framework to do just this is a tad high.

The only downside is that if you parallel test you need to run them in separate processes (which you usually want to do.any case).
As a counter point - we’re already seeing the role of the driver fading away from car travel. lane holding tech is readily available in your average car now. Tesla’s can drive themselves a large portion of the time. Etc. Concerns about tactile feedback and such don’t really matter if you don’t have to pay attention to the road anymore. As we’ve seen play out with phones, people vastly prefer touch screens and vastly prefer familiarity. Standardizing cars across a couple of different interfaces vs each car having a brand new layout of analog switches, knobs, and doo-hickeys is a much better rider experience.

Much like how a “phone” went from “a device to call someone on” to what an iPhone does today, a “car” is going from “something you drive” to just another device you interact with in various ways and it also happens to be able to get you from point A to point B.
I understand the thought, but in the real world this is counterproductive and dangerous.

Some interfaces it’s pretty clear that they are best served by physical buttons, toggles, switched, etc. Blinkers, gear selector, volume, windows, for example.

Some interfaces it’s equally clear that they are best served by touch. Text input through an on screen keyboard obviously beats a scroll wheel to select individual letters. Likewise panning and zooming a map.

Now, whether some of these interfaces are being operated while parked or driving is actually a completely separate matter. As you note, any touch feature can be dynamically locked out from operating while in drive. But to answer that question you can’t take the position of a nanny chastising a child. You have to take a holistic view of what actual users in the real world will do based on your decisions.

So, navigation is a great example. People need to navigate while driving. Sometimes that means interacting with the navigation interface while under way, whether it’s due to updating a route, checking for traffic, zooming in and out. As much as you might like to, car designers don’t get to choose whether drivers are going to do this activity while driving. They can provide an interface that is as safe and convenient as possible, or drivers will just use their phones instead.

Every car nav system I ever used, including fairly recent Audi and Mercedes ones, that depended on physical buttons for input was universally terrible. So bad that it wasn’t worth using and so the phone was used instead.

Compared to the Tesla Model 3 nav system which is fully touch, highly responsive, and beautifully rendered. It is a total joy to use and increases overall safety through large touch affordances which make sense for the driving environment. And it’s so easy to activate I almost always have my destination plugged in, which means the car is showing me upcoming traffic and helping me avoid accidents through alternate routes, which is also increasing safety and decreasing overall traffic congestion.

Wrong. It used to be that way, but not anymore.

Painted bike lanes correlate with bike lane interruptions. Often car drivers use those to park, to manoeuvre or even to speed up. It often coincides with bus lanes. A bus that stops forces the cyclist to change lane with a huge risk of cars coming from behind.
Often you find bike lanes in the most harmless streets, while they disappear in dangerous junctions and roundabouts.
Good! They may make the interior look cleaner and save the manufacturer having to stock various small parts and not having to install buttons and dials depending on the trim level, but from a safety perspective tactile feedback is key to minimizing distractions while driving, and touchscreens just don't have that.
I mean, Tesla's marketing department claims that the big touchscreen thing is a best in class feature. In reality, that's at best subjective.

I find things like this funny because Email is often much worse for getting ideas across and VERY FEW people put their whole idea in an Email and simply treat it with chat + 6 line signatures. Where I've worked email has simply been a very poor chat which I could not distinguish "info broadcasts" from "the server is down" without getting all notifications or none.

We switched to slack in 2014 because 1) it allowed us to notify mindfully for team-wide and person specific things. 2) it allowed people to have full blown conversations and keep others up to date on status/problems in channels. And 3) it allowed us to build automation right inline with the communication we were already doing.

Much of the complaints of slack seem to be from people who work with those who do not respect how to use it. Spamming @here for everything is the same as replying-all in email. Or, my personal pet-peeve, creating a new private group chat for everything making finding the old conversation nearly impossible.

Discord has tons of improvements I've love to see in Slack namely around groups of channels and role management, but for the most part it seems the problems with slack are organization's unwillingness to understand it's purpose and how to best use it not as a pager system for your whims, but actually as an async communication system.

Agree that Bluetooth is a nightmare. Every Bluetooth radio wants to dig into my phone and download my contacts (and who knows what else) but all I want to do is play music. If I do this in a rental car I have to remember to figure out how to wipe the radio when I'm returning the car and already rushing to catch a plane, so I don't even bother with Bluetooth any more. It's maddening.

I never understood people who get annoyed by @here. If you are somewhere where you don't want to be, and people send a message to you that you don't care about, you shouldn't be there in the first place. We have many channels in our company where complete strangers hang out, for example in the engineering channel like it was a garden party of some sort. You know: just for fun. I mean WTF is wrong with these people? Why are they in the channel if they are not interested? When I message with @here I don't give a shit if it annoys someone or not, as long as the message is completely in line with the channel's intended purpose.

This is both true and not true — yes, a great many apps have been abandoned, but the big ones (Netflix, Prime Video, Hulu, HBO, premium sports apps, etc.) are well maintained. The built-in apps are by far the easiest way to watch 4K HDR video (which Amazon has lots of).

But yeah, all that said, the “smart TV” functionality would be better off in an external box. I trust that Netflix will update its app because I pay them every month. I don’t trust Samsung will update the TV software for the 10-year life of the TV because I paid them all up front. Such is life in the modern world :)
"A human paying attention assisted by a computer paying attention is always going to be safer than either separately."

No. Stating something as a fact without analyzing it in the slightest is bad.

Example:

(1) Only a computer is "paying attention" performing the "assisted emergency breaking" role. The computer has an effective reaction time of 1/100 of a second. Within 2/100 of a second of a qualifying event, the vehicle will be in full antilock brake mode.

(2) A human and a computer are "paying attention" performing the "assisted emergency breaking" role (this is a little silly in that the human is already the primary brake operator...). The computer still has 1/100 s reaction time, but the human's reaction time is 25/100 s. What exactly is the human bringing to the table? It is true that the human may detect an actual threat the computer doesn't...however that slow reaction time means it likely won't make a difference in the outcome. On the other hand, the human may "detect" a false alarm, and emergency brake by mistake. That activity often leads to wrecks!

I submit that the computer-only emergency brake assist is safer than the combination of human and computer. Further, all of these "human in the loop" systems suffer from a fatal flaw - the inability of people to pay attention unless it's absolutely crucial.

The way people use Tesla Autopilot shows that full autonomy is necessary, and will in fact be safer than any "assisted" system.

That seems fairly irrelevant to _current_ cars, tho. If self-driving cars are a thing in a couple of decades (I'm somewhat skeptical, but whatever), then I'm sure that'll factor into the design of cars then. It shouldn't factor into the design of cars now.

Had a similar thought before recently buying a new TV. I had heard of Samsung ads, LG's slow interface so was looking for something else. I do use a PiHole in the house, but didn't want to rely on it.

Ended up finding the Philips 50PUS6753/12 50in 4k - the previous version got What Hi-Fi's TV of year award and does a much better job than a PC monitor. Under £400 on Amazon atm. In-built sound is, for me, enough to avoid the soundbar. Also the Ambilight is a nice touch, sort of extending the picture beyond the screen. Responds to screen, audio or custom colour.

Main thing though is there are no ads that I've noticed and it's a fast enough interface. Currently using the TV itself for catchup/freeview/youtube and the rpi as a media centre. You can just not plug the TV in too if you want it truly dumb.
Since devices can be owned by the user, a range of business relationships are possible. Some data on the user-owned device can have a different legal status than data owned by a central provider. E2E encryption and separation of ownership can exist alongside capital-fueled consolidation of data.

It's not necessary for edge devices to "win" against centralization, only that they exist and are sustainably funded.

Microsoft, HP and Dell/VMware have device-as-service offerings. There can be many permutations of control planes between local and central, or even regional.

For my ideal work desktop, I want to have tools assigned per task that I can easily assemble until that task is achieved. As a spitball idea: Cmd-space, type in "research open sourcing my kindle", and get given a browser and some sort of note collector. Collect the various things from the session into my note, refile the entire stack as a project, and move on to the next task. In the future, I can access the actual project and receive a workspace with terminals, an IDE or whatever else I need to Get the Thing Done, archived versions of the sites I opened, etc. Ideally, the environment would be designed to reduce distractability.

I'd willing to donate money, work, or both. Is anyone working on something like that?
The best thing that REST still doesn't do well is that you can point your tools at the SOAP discovery address and they will generate all the stubs for you, CORBA style.

Except that, it is mostly like REST. With a very convoluted specification that you can't hope to match on your own code (so, use tools), and tools disagree on the details (so, be careful to avoid the details).

If you think about, anything that 100% requires a driver to remove their eyes off the road for extended periods of time is a bad thing waiting to happen. I guess a lot of cars don't have touchscreens though and you don't see a lot of news or analysis on how these touchscreens are killing people. I still see people driving 70 MPH on major Interstates with their heads literally down staring at their phones.

At any rate I still think this is a great idea. Mazda came close with the generation of their infotainment systems before their current ones. You could mostly use the rotary dial and do things if you memorized how many clicks of rotation of the wheel it took and which button to press in the gutter on top of the transmission.

I think the next best thing is a voice UI to control HVAC and entertainment. The one on my 2015 Mazda 6 is pretty bad but this might force them to invest in that which would give them a competitive edge.

I don't want to have to learn a brand new syntax to get things done.

Your Spring example immediately turns me off because it uses a bunch of annotations that could do pretty much anything (and I'd have to learn). Further, it uses kotlin which is not java - it's a valid choice but it's a more terse language in general (so not necessarily valid to compare against java examples).

Spark is straightforward and easy to read, it does one thing and it does it well, and it doesn't demand that I spend a lot of time thinking about anything other than what I'm trying to achieve. I have a lot of time for that.

For the record, with kotlin and skipping imports (of which there would only be one anyway) -

fun main(args: Array<String>) {
get("/hello") { req, res -> "Hello World" }
}

I do indeed find this simpler than your proposal upthread.

Why should I do this? Fear is a survival signal, why should I ignore it? It's not fear of the problem, it's fear of the company. And is this not a justified fear? You say not to be afraid of being judged, but isn't that the entire purpose of the interview?

Now, there is a scenario I can imagine where I have some pride invested and am willing to be a fearless engineering badass, the developer equivalent of a Marine. But the Marines are loyal back in return, never leaving a man behind, etc. I'd also happily attempt such a problem for my mom, because I know our relationship isn't dependent on this particular problem. Is your company going to be as loyal as the Marines, or love me unconditionally like my mom?

The difference is that a TV is intended to be used to watch movies, TV shows etc. (which is why they do these effects in firmware) although a lot of TVs have a "Game mode" or something similar which disables these effects. Computer monitors are used for a lot of things (so - generic usage), and these effects would usually end up being terrible or unnecessary for the experience (do you really need motion enhancement filters for text editing, web browsing or spreadsheets?). If you need to show a video on monitor you can just process the image on the GPU and show it on a monitor, which is exactly how it's done.
