If you have to worry about your dongles all the time then the point of being thin and lightweight is pretty much lost.
What sort of issues are you guys encountering? I use the voicechat constantly and I haven't found it to be problematic.
So add solar+wind into your jurisdiction's power mix. It's not hard to do, and progressively the diversity of power will be more stable than just relying on the coal plant which will get shut down.

EV buses allow you to wean off carbon power sources in many stages.
Apple fan for 30+ years, been using them professionally since they switched to unix under the hood. Swapped my 2014 macbook out for a 2018 model. It is terrible in so many ways. Three months ago I switched to a Dell running Ubuntu, and haven't been this happy since the 2014 macbook ;)

The keyboard is the worst keyboard I've used in at least 15 years, the giant touchpad pisses me off constantly with no benefit, the OS just copies other people now, the touchbar is the least offensive thing but still stupid, and the loss of the magsafe is a bummer. Huge disappointment.

But, that's ok, turns out Ubuntu as a desktop is amazing, and so I'm really happy with the switch!

Every professional developer I know that has a mac is refusing to switch away from their previous model (or older) macbook.
> significantly less capable than a normal computer

less capable than the underlying mainframe, you mean. Unless you have tons of separate VMs running on your mainframe, you can have tens of terabytes of RAM available to your job and a fridge-sized cabinet of PCIe channels to do its IO (which is done by specialized CPUs).
They’ve done enormous changes since 7 to improve it. 7 was absurd - buttons looked like simple text everywhere. I always had to toggle on a function where buttons became underlined so I could use the thing. There was huge criticism even in knowledgeable design circles (see Nielsen Norman who do usability studies) that it was really really objectively worst because it was so confusing. It’s a lot better now.
>Concentrated water molecules visible as myst produced from hot water is steam.

Steam/water vapor/humidity is gas phase H2O and is transparent. Water droplets in air is often referred to as 'steam' or 'wet steam' but is liquid phase H2O suspended in air. If it mattered in context I assume it would be clearly stated as gas rather than liquid mist.

I doubt anyone would call the component of air that is 'humidity' by the word 'steam' but it seems it would be correct [1]. I am used to the term 'water vapor' for that gas phase H2O though.

I'm reading/have read other books listed by others in this thread so I won't list them, but this book what made me continue programming after I put it down.
It's standard copy for a press release.
GNU's The Right to Read sounded utterly and totally laughable to me in circa 2000 when I first read it. A fanciable dystopia. It has come too close to reality in more recent years since.
Make a binding non-decision that favors the status quo? That sounds in line traditional conservative goals of preserving the status quo while doing the bare minimum to govern a la small government.
What does the thinness of the device actually get you though? I know most very thin laptops are no lighter than my much thicker x230, but come with way less expandability, crummier keyboard, and less ports. What does the thinness get you when they weight the same?
This is the first hypothesis I’ve read on the matter that seems to fit the observed public data well.
How to Format a String in C++

I can get with the rest but stating that is absolute insanity to me. It has something like a 10-20% failure rate on a medium timeline.
It doesn't block it because it's generally not active on all pages of a site. The description of v3 sounds more like Google Analytics and will probably be treated similarly.
According to some of these articles it's been as high as 130%.

If 10min is worth $30, I guess you value your time at least at $180/hr? Sounds like you're a rich something.
(Apart from the price:) Nothing. It's a complete reversal from the trashcan. It's cheesy (!), loud, fun, it has personality, you can take it apart, mess with its insides, which are actually worth talking about. And people LOVE it - just as they'd probably love a decent Macbook which is maybe 0.2in thicker, but comes with an Esc key, a keyboard which won't die within a year, and enough ports to be usable.
USB-C is not making it better, my t480s cable is too heavy and you can see it tugging on the connector and it's not sitting straight but tilted. I already managed to break one USB-C socket on my 2016 macbook pro, I can see it breaking soon on the thinkpad if I don't caress it, which means not letting the cable hang and making sure not to bump it with my knee.

I’m there already. They changed the Netflix app on the Apple TV and now I can’t figure out how to use it.
No, the reason they exist is to rule on what the law says, even in very murky situations. But I have read no credible case that there is any statement in the Constitution or elsewhere, which they could go by to determine the standard here.

The fact that RGB says "However one comes out on the legal issues..." looks like evidence that, at some level, she knows there's not a legal argument here to arrive at the right result. Because the right result is surely to not do things the way we do now. Probably, some kind of multi-rep district system is the right solution. But, that's not a thing the courts can fix, or should attempt to, and they know it.
Are we at all surprised by this?

Really, it's a lot like the allowable amount of insect parts that the US Govt. Food and Drug Administration allows in food. You're shocked a bit to read it, but the truth is you've been living it (and eating it) for some time.

See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Food_Defect_Action_Levels for example for what I mean about "allowable amount of insect parts"

Seriously, why do people keep trying to jump through hoops where it's very easy to make a mistake, rather than just using something with privacy built-in?

With Bitcoin, you have to trust that the mixer isn't a bad actor, that you don't get tainted coins in return, that you make enough hops or mix enough times, that no one discriminates against the sending address or recieving address or amount being sent, etc.
It's interesting reading the views of those who disagree with the mainstream position. What is interesting is how many different positions they have

Some claim the world is not getting warmer.

Some agree it might be but we don't know for sure.

Some agree it is getting warmer, and say it might be due to human activity, but we don't know for sure.

Some agree it is getting warmer, but claim it is due to some other cause than human activity.

Some claim it is getting warmer, but increased co2 will bring huge benefits.

Some agree it is getting warmer and agree that increased co2 brings harm, but that efforts to reduce emissions would bring great economic harm.

Plus probably several other positions I have not mentions. Also, some people try to combine several positions.

You know, you all would be more persuasive if you could first reach agreement among yourselves. Or at least if the advocates of each position would be as critical of the other positions as they are of the mainstream position.
I don't know anything about cars. Why did you need work done on your brakes on a diesel but not on an electric?
The investment itself is a meaningful business endorsement. However I said this article is a meaningless endorsement (given the major conflict of interest).

In fact, the "hype-factor" and unwillingness to describe in simple terms what the product is makes me more skeptical than I was to begin with.
So how is this new Firefox for Android different than the Firefox I have installed on my Android right now? Will I automatically get upgraded to this when it rolls out or is it a separate product? It would be nice to have that explained on the page/blog post.
As much as we can man-myth the man, he’s got one of the best design teams on the planet around him. Unless they all leave (and even if they do, they could replace them all with the second best design team in the world quickly as all industrial designers would jump to work at Apple) I don’t see how this could anywhere but up.

Remember it was rumoured Ive who insisted in the super luxury version of the Apple Watch, and they had to drop it because it was so absurd. He also bought a Bentley around the same time. I just got a feeling without Steve to ground him, his posh Englishness might have led him astray.
They shouldn't be sending me to the Play Store ITFP.

I can't use Play because I've got no GApps in my phone, so I can't try their app unless I find a copy "somewhere" and convince myself it hasn't been poisoned. I got a reasonably up-to-date Firefox through APKPure, and later on after watching that 35C3 talk [1], I unzipped and grepped all those saved .apks to find the APKPure app itself and Firefox and LingoDeer had the same traces of Facebook's SDK in them. So that's off the table, huh? The ones that I saved from older phones after having gottten them through Play were all fine, but I can't update those without grabbing another phone and letting Google ... play in it. <ducks>

Just the other day I asked the Waterfox team for an apk and an md5sum, for the same reason-- though I'd settle for the md5sum alone! But Mozilla has resources WF can barely dream of, and it apparently intends to be a champion for privacy, so this is kinda sad.

What I learned from interviewing and receiving offers from Google two times
Then why so many have 5 stars on Amazon? Are people that buy apple products more likely to connect them to finicky or cheap devices?
There are products that solve different parts of this problem, but most companies buy 2-4 products for their marketing stack (CDP, Marketing Automation, attribution, and analytics). For things like LTV prediction, you would either need to buy an additional piece of software or do it yourself.

Each company does marketing enough differently that there isn't a single product that could solve the problem end-to-end for everyone.
Easy: survivor bias. A lot of people are using youtube, and people who get good recommendations don't have any fuel to do memes. So, even if the amount of people who get bad recommendations is minimal, the meme would still exist.

Wait, is that actually the case? My understanding was that gmail re-hosts all images sent to its users and strips the trackers out in the process. A quick check on image sources in my inbox seems to confirm this.
High-pedantry groups like programmers are odd, in that they display this emotional state where they have nothing but complaints about how crappy the world is, yet they seem inwardly smug and happy about how they're clever enough to know better. Is that misery? Is that happiness? I'm in one of those groups, and still, I don't really know for sure.
Let it connect to your network and then black-hole it?

But that's assuming it doesn't try to connect elsewhere if it detects it doesn't have internet.
I believe we were discussing price controls, not whether it is "free".
I love the thin design. I'll take a single USB-C port over multiple ports any day. (and yes, I do use an external monitor, which is a USB hub, and a 1Gbps ethernet dongle)
I think the key there is "attachment." I think seeing the results without being attached to it can also improve analysis of the outcome with respect to the quality of input if there is less personal/emotional attachment to the work that is being accomplished.
Why do they do it though? It's not like the FCC is going to pay them for their time... I suppose if someone is really broadcasting garbage and disrupting communications then I can see the issue.
Yeah, DU has an incendiary property along with a "self sharpening" property. It doesn't mushroom as much when used as a sabot round as tungsten. My platoon sergeant in the US Army was a former tanker and we learned all about it (I flew the Shadow 200 TUAV).
The flip side of this argument is that an effective army needs people who to a large degree don't refuse orders.
Get a laptop protector. You'll get the weight and added protection.
Lol - new scary computer model that concludes I should pay more tax. Scammers.
You know, I've never had that happen to me, and I've owned multiple MacBooks and iphones over many years.
I was a little shocked at that number, so I ran the math again, and wow.

Quite a bit longer than I expected.

Maybe a circular track till you build up speed, then switch over to the mountain track?

Of course the circular track would have g-forces due to that..... (Do you feel like doing more math?)

I guess it's more practical to use the track just for the initial boost above the atmosphere, then a rocket to add speed. Also a track that can handle something moving at km/s is .... not easy.
Remember putting CDs into a computer?? Those were the days...
I don't think it's particularly bad for this use-case: the easy failure scenario someone can do now is that a site operator could make two URLs that the extension considers to be the same and shows the same comments for, and the worst-case scenario is that someone makes a URL the extension considers the same as someone else's URL.

But regardless, it's weird that anyone would reach for SHA-1 for anything new now.

Do you really have a lot of programmers typing on a laptop keyboard for much of the day? That would seem really strange to me. No laptop keyboard is good compared to a good mechanical, or really any external keyboard. I have one of these pros and I type on it a fair bit because I commute on the bus and I agree its not the best...but at the office I have proper equipment for doing programming work.

Just like evolution requires selection to work, good design requires an good filter. I think Jobs was the filter that made Jony Ive good. Without filter Ive appears to be just another unbridled ego not quite able to retain focus on what is important.

I hope this means Apple will hire designers more respectful of utility for the MBP and iMac lines and start catering to professionals. And then Ive can focus on making insanely expensive to manufacture halo products with CNC’ed cheese graters.

I agree GIFs are good in some cases like a small demo on Github. They are also supported pretty much everywhere.

It's probably an anti-pattern when:

- There's more than 1 GIF playing on the screen (can be disorienting)

- The GIF takes too long (you can't rewind, so dont make them too long)

- Bad quality GIFs can be annoying and useless

Probably some more cases...
Its not obselete when 100s of millions of people use it everyday and the replacement is expensive, needs replacing because the batteries die and has poorer sound quality.

No phone is more waterproof with it than without (they all have complex data ports with many connection vs three or four in a jack). No phone has a bigger battery. No phone is tougher.

It allows Apple and others to sell expensice Bluetooth ear buds.

And yes, I do own a pair of airpods.

From Daring Fireball speculation his move to Chief Design Officer was already a move for him to be distanced from day to day design. Sort of a soft firing already, but by moving him up.
Google's login is especially annoying if you're used to typing username-tab-enter-password-tab-enter. It takes you to the "Forgot Password?" page and next thing you know, you've entered your password in plain text in the e-mail field.

The iPhone has one of the most slippery surfaces of almost all objects I own. It looks great in photos and ad videos but completely incompatible to the goal of safely holding it in the human hand. Things have became so bad with iPhone XS that I have never seen anyone using it without some ugly sleeve. If anyone has dared not using case/sleeve, they would experience heart wrenching drop out of hand within their first week of use.

Do you think this is good design? Why do you think this would happen at design-first company like Apple?
I've heard that people who think they're allergic to chocolate are actually allergic to the cockroaches bits are in most chocolate. Not sure how well proven that is though.
Its fine to have an opinion on how things should be, but some of your assertions are not based on facts.

>Virtually all major DRM-"protected" works are available on thepiratebay shortly after release. Sometimes before release.

"Virtually all Server OSs get hacked/have had security bugs. Nobody should use them to host or store anything."

All you're saying is that DRM isn't perfect. Nothing is perfect, and it isn't exactly a revelation.

If it were impossible to pirate Windows, would all the pirates switch to Linux or another Free OS? If the answer is No, then a non-zero number of people will go out and purchase Windows. From a sales standpoint, preventing piracy is definitely going to drive sales. Also, if your answer is Yes to the question, then all the Free OS advocates should be making it impossible to pirate Windows. :)

>The "better solution" is to treat your customers with respect and let them own their bought goods. Gog.com is a good example here, in my opinion.

If we accept your premise that DRM == disrespecting customers, then you'll have to account for why people are still selling stuff with DRM, and continuing to make millions and millions of dollars. Do customers like being disrespected?

>What definitely doesn't work is to burden your paying customers with digital locks and hurdles to enjoyment, that the pirates will shortly find a way to remove for the non-paying audience.

The success of DRM'd products refutes your claim, entirely.
This is 1900s rhetoric. Putting up a poster in the 737 cabin to "watch out for MCAS".

It's now 2019. We're smarter. We know how to engineer streets to not embarrass ourselves further with meaningless "appeals to everyone to watch out".
Imagine if you will, though: getting to the point where these things can be mostly-3D-printed and pumped out in garages.

I was annoyed by the MagSafe removal but I've had 5 of these [0] since the change and I have zero complaints. My Neato has eaten them multiple times and they are still kicking and if they ever die, it's just a cheap cable rather than a new power supply. I went through multiple of the old magsafe power supplies despite ample application of Sugru [1]. Overall I think moving the magnetic disconnect to the cable is a good move.

I guess parent poster actually meant the tyranny of aesthetics.
They became the most valuable company in the world by selling hardware. What on earth would possess them to get out of that incredibly lucrative market in which they have an unparalleled privileged position??
Actually, the tyranny of design at Apple existed long before Jonny Ive. It began with Donald Norman who regularly discusses his Philip Starck juicer which "not meant to squeeze lemons, it is meant to start conversations."

I can't find the quote, but Donald Norman said something along the lines of "create something beautiful and people will say it's wonderful and easy to use".

This has always been the Apple way, and I don't see that changing. At Apple, form has always had priority over function.
If you look up the word "browse" in a dictionary, you will see that it now has an entry relating to computer networks.

When we browse items in a library, we can see context, we can see neighbouring items. Even some of the library database software today allows you to do this on the computer, simulating the physical experience.

Maybe some of you can remember searching an item then going to retrieve it from the stacks and ending up just browsing the neighbouring items and discoevring even better items. I often discovered the best items through just browsing in a section, in the stacks.

This is one element that is missing from today's web. It is probably one reason why a search engine can become the most popular site on the web. The search engine controls the user's view of the web. The user cannot see the "stacks". Nor can she browse them as she would in a library to discover what is there.

Libraries impose an order that is missing from the web. Something like a Dewey Decimal classification system where a number reveals something about what is found in that location. IP addresses reveal almost nothing to us about the item(s) that may be found there; and whatever they reveal is not intentional. These numbers are in turn "hidden" behind potentially ambiguous names that sidestep the trademark system, another proven classification system, that serves to eliminate ambiguity and deception of consumers.

In the past I have seen some sites that listed the entire IP address space in numerical order where it was possible to browse at least some minimal information on each network number. These always seem to go offline eventually, as if they are breaking some rule.

Imagine going into a library where you were not allowed to visit the stacks or see neighbouring items, where the ordering of the items was a secret and all you could do is perform "keyword" searches. Imagine the results would not be ordered alphabetically, chronologically, or even by a known method of determining relevance (that too is secret). Imagine you could not sort the results or get a quick copy of all of them for reference. Imagine the library set the order of the results according to some "secret" methodology and preferred that you only view the first 5-10 items.

> We're certainly aware of how significant ad blocking extensions are. This release required a great quantity of features with only a six month timeline until now.

A usable night mode e.g. invert the topbar icons and change the white screen you see before the page loads combined with an existing dark theme would be an easy feature to implement and would put it miles ahead of other mobile browsers too. I presently have to use Swift for Samsung to overlay a proper black theme (with white icons etc), but still get bright white when loading pages.
