So I am def no Jon Gruber, but since you mention courage criticizing Ive when he was still in charge at Apple, this was my take when Ive ran the show:

http://magarshak.com/blog/?p=234

Are you in agreement? I found it’s a mixed bag.
Managers and HR leaders can help employees by dialing down the demands they’re placing on people – ensuring that employee goals are realistic and rebalancing the workloads of employees who, by virtue of being particularly skilled or productive, have been saddled with too much. They can also try to increase the resources available to employees; this includes not only material resources such as time and money, but intangible resources such as empathy and friendship in the workplace, and letting employees disengage from work when they’re not working. By avoiding emailing people after hours, setting a norm that evenings and weekends are work-free, and encouraging a regular lunch break in the middle of the day, leaders can make sure they’re sending a consistent message that balance matters.

Key point. In my experience, the high-productivity, high-engagement becoming the new baseline, and then the organization requesting the 120% of that, and repeat every six weeks, is the true killer.

Aren't all assassinations individually targeted?
I think the reference to the refactoring in Visual Studio is a bit bogus in that it doesn't really imply anything about preference, you can swap between explicit and implicit. You can even specify which preference you prefer Implicit or Explicit typing for automatic code cleanup.

I've never really struggled with this in C# where nearly everything is implicitly typed. Never been a problem in non editor code views ( like github ) either. One of the major benefits, not mentioned, is when you change the type of something it doesn't cause needless code churn.

There are only a few things where I've seen it be a problem is for new people to programming where even remembering all the basic types is still a significant cognitive load and templated types look like unholy magic. They'd struggle to know what var sum = 1 + 2 + 3 would result in and really want to know.

The other, in C#, is where you end up with a IEnumerable instead of a List. This can result in some not so nice side effects
Notch? What notch? I have an iPhone X and mine has ears which extend the display up into the top of the phone where the camera is placed to get my status bar out of the screen. Brilliant! I say.
I don't care if every site that I browse using this VM knows that I'm Mirimir. I don't even try to hide that.

What matter is that my personas using other VMs, through other VPNs or Tor, don't get linked to my meatspace identity, to Mirimir, or to my other personas. And that's doable, I think.
Are you suggesting that the bloom filter be pushed with the login page? That's like 10 MB of data on every login request. It's almost certainly faster to just do the Ajax call. (Assuming you have around 2 million domains supported - even at 200k that's over a megabyte).
This is a great step in the right direction

…but I really don’t like the thing that slides up at the bottom of the screen. It takes the place of content which is 99.99% the reason I’m there. Not to share our bookmark. If I want to do that, I’ll find it in the menu.

And is it just me that really, really needs a fast way to switch tabs to use a browser?

Chrome lets me swipe across the bar at the top of the screen, but with Firefox it’s a tap, a visual scan to find the tab I want, and another tap.

Otherwise I’d switch to this browser yesterday

I like the collections concept, and the home screen.

Also, it's a joke that Google's image search is horrible on Firefox, for no good reason. If you switch the user agent it works fine.
Hmm, I wonder if my Apple Watc...
As the owner of a 15”, I agree on all points but one. I would sacrifice a little thinness for more battery life and repair ability. Love the keyboard, love the track pad, fine with usb c, meh on Touch Bar.
That’s interesting. I always thought of Don Norman as having sensible, clear design principles. In the Design of Everyday Things [1], one of his main points was that devices should be always be clear about what they do, by presenting unambiguous affordances to the user. A row of light switches is no good; they should be organized so that they map to location in the room. A fridge with two knobs for temperature and volume of air should present a clear mental model to the user in its documentation, or better yet have a more direct interface to simply select the desired temperature for a given area. Doors that should be pulled should have handlebars; doors that should be pushed should have horizontal plates.

If there’s anyone whose design principles I’d want at Apple, it’d be the guy who espoused clarity and unambiguity. Him waxing poetic about a useless juicer seems very out of character, although he did indeed say that [2]. I’d be interested to hear more about his more current work for Apple.

Possibly someone in their right mind would run it because they read TFA where it says "primarily aimed at developers and early adopters who want to help us improve Firefox on Android".

The announcement literally says he will be starting his own design firm, and presumably said firm will perform work on behalf of clients.
It's interesting to think about how these sorts of niche sites which have a narrow enough demographic to have valuable ad space are more or less being entirely eaten alive by networks with incredibly wide demographics. The centralized networks have to resort to building a panopticon to replicate segmenting which used to be natural at the network layer and the niche sites have to resort to playing along because of how powerful that panopticon is.

What beginning? Back in the 1950s?

Use Go. It forces a consistent format.

Not sure what problem you propose solving.
An American ban hits China’s supercomputer industry
For particulates you can switch to CNG, and you can probably convert the diesel engines to run off that too.
Interesting but I don't think that's sustained fire.

You see crazy him rpm for firearms. The rate of fire is restricted by the magazine size (ship guns do have magazines) and how fast the gun can cool.

The US Army changed the barrel of the M4 Carbine (automatic rifle) after some troops during a sustained defense of some hill had barrels failing after glowing white hot. Machine guns often have barrels that can be replaced during prolonged engagements.

A hot naval gun could detonate the charge if it overheats. It has happened although I don't remember how long ago.
I'm aware that far-reaching changes need to occur in society and the economy to solve the climate crisis. Reduction of consumption, renewable energy, planting more forests, efficient transportation, heating and cooling, re-evaluating what we value in life - all of these will play their part. I don't think carbon sequestration alone will fix everything. But if it has the potential to help, why not look into it?
That’s called a sociopath where I’m from...
It’s a clever way to maintain the integrity of the game while still making money off gambling. Once you make gambling an official part of the sport, the sport quickly becomes corrupt. But synthetic games like this aren’t actually basketball.

Still, it’s evil, and separately, the NBA has shown interest in monetizing actual sports betting.
Perhaps some top talent might be enticed to flee the ailing Huawei? There's also Samsung.
"even with the dirtiest diesel engines, is going to get you serious wins over GHG/CO2/VOC emissions from automobiles"

Not for particulates. Even a clean diesel bus is going to be dirtier in particulates vs. gasoline. Its the nature of the fuel (i.e. not the thermo cycle used).

ON the other hand, converting to CNG eliminates particulates completely (you use the same engine, just feed it CH4)
Thank you for this. This is probably the most I've learned about Sikhism in one sitting. I appreciate your generosity!

No. I am accustomed to reading documentation, especially when something isn’t clear to me. Bad UI design for a car would involve icons totally divorced from the physical function and which closely resemble each other.

I wonder why an “international user” has bought a car whose manual isn’t localized and who can’t get a localized manual online.

You should not be able to use any website that the host doesn't want you to use. That seems pretty straightforward. There's a strong correlation between profiles that look like yours and bots. Why should the web admin do free labor for you to put together a sufficiently nuanced bot-detection system to tell the difference, when the one they have is clearly good enough for them?
is this also xterm.js based? the WebGL based engine will make it even better!

> This is what some prominent people have said about iOS 7

Prominent finance people criticize other finance people for their decisions all of the time (Buffet et al). I think I could name a hundred other professions where this is also true (I use finance as a good analog). Just because <insert prominent professional> makes a criticism doesn't make it suddenly true.

I personally hated iOS7. Guess what, it clearly didn't stop people from buying more iPhones[0]. At the end of the day, Arment, Heliemann, and Gruber can all take a seat while iOS single-handedly rakes in billions for Apple. This is how business works.

Chinese writing works in exactly the same way European written languages work. It records more semantic information than they tend to do, but the functioning is no different.
> Security through obscurity is a bad practice, but sometimes it really works. Exotic platforms tend not to get much malware, not because they lack security vulnerabilities, but simply because knowledge of how they work (and in many cases, even opportunity to acquire that knowledge) is rare.

More importantly, the return per hour spent to write that malware is lower. There are fewer macs, though knowledge is widespread, so there are more windows viruses because there is a larger pool of victims.
You really do need to watch the presentation I linked. They go into excruciating detail on what data is used and how it is used.

I did not say Tesla's don't use GPS, they do. I said "It is unlikely that fully autonomous cars will use any GPS at all". My argument is not that you can't get google maps in your car, my argument is that the autonomous cars of the "Utopian future" will not need google maps to function, much less leave you stranded in an incorrectly mapped location.
Anecdotal... Who put you in charge of experts in walking? Lol. Flames aside, your point about tinted windows is interesting but I'm pretty sure it's not uncommon in other countries outside of the US.
Ad blocking is the only reason I use Firefox mobile.
You're right. The new icons were bad and they're still bad. The Photos and Game Center icons in particular don't communicate anything or make use of any visual metaphors at all. It's like something you'd expect from a second year art major.

More to the point. Why did they need to be changed? What was so wrong with the way they were that a hundred million users needed to re-learn a user interface?
I want a USB-C hub with at least 5 USB-C ports and no other legacy ports. Only USB-C. An added bonus would be alt-mode video transmission from my Mac and power. Does such a beast exist? Not that I can find!
If/when Stadia and the like take off, and streaming-only games appear, we can forget about that too.

By the way, this is just one of the many reasons why I think that streamed games are very much an anti-consumer move and should not be paid for in any circumstance, to prevent normalization.
> "Happens all the time with any cables really."

That's such nonsense. I've never had a thinkpad cable wear out on me. I've got a whole box sitting around somewhere full of them because they never break. But thinkpad cables aren't unusually robust; Dell cables last just as long. Most cables last effectively forever unless you slam a door on them or something unreasonable like that.

The only cables I've seen reliably fall apart after no more than a few years are Christmas tree light strings from the dollar store, and Apple charging cables.
Android phones have been waterproof with 3.5mm jacks, for at least the past 5 years, maybe longer.
That seems like the same sort of difference between source available and free software. Seems like a minute difference from a cursory glance, but it turns out the graph of dependencies and derived works is more important than the the code itself.
Yeah the San Luis Valley is full of center pivots. It's a very dry and cold place, but has an aquifer that gets reliably replenished by snow melt.
Maybe because people realize that despite this "tech war" that China is apparently winning, Apple still makes the vast majority of profits in the smartphone world, and the vast majority of those profits find their way to the US. Google still.makes the vast majority of OSes installed in the world, followed by Microsoft and Apple, and the money there also largely goes to the US. Intel still makes the vast majority of money in the semi conductor world, and the vast majority of that flows to the US. Their biggest threat is ARM, a British company owned by the Japanese, also an ally and open societies.

American software companies dominate tech and internet in both mindshare and profits throughout the world, excluding China. Despite them "stealing" all this IP.

Sure, the US may not be able to compete in China, but the openness of the US meant that the rest of Asia, Europe, Africa America's were willing to buy their products.

When the US engages in nationalistic trade wars, it loses China's market which was never really available to it. But it also gives Europeans and Asians and Africans an excuse to exclude the US from their markets.

Any country wanting to do that, which I suspect a lot of them will now that Trump has decided he just wants to fight trade wars despite the US being the biggest winner of the current economic system, simply needs to point to the well known American spying to ignore American suppliers and software companies and developers.

The US may come out net better in the relationship with China but it's gonna lose a lot more. (it won't even here...China had been giving America TVs and computers and what not for pieces of paper. If you told an alien this deal they wouldnt believe the US is complaining. The US's problem is entirely that it hasn't been able to distribute this massive wealth surplus it has enjoyed throughout it's society, because it has prioritized the ability of the richest to hoard that wealth to the point they don't even have islands left to buy, instead of providing healthcare to the poorest).
It's not toxic in an acute sense, but it's equivalent to cigarette smoke and chronically terrible for you (I love smoking and diesel, btw). Both are low T impartially combusted complex hydrocarbons that generate a stew of different nanoparticles and reactive species.

It's terrible stuff!

You can argue that it's benign in the middle of nowhere, where the concentration drops to nothing quickly. But not in the city!
Japan's pitch free data flows faces uphill G20 battle amid 'splinternet' fears
I'm adequate at this sometimes, but there are situations where I'm... pretty bad at it. They tend to be where:

(a) somebody is explaining something at either edge of my understanding -- either well-inside (and listening feels like a waste of time because I know this stuff) or well-outside (and listening feels like a waste of time because I don't know enough to get a solid purchase into the stream of communication).

(b) the primary purpose of the conversation is setting expectations or attempting to provide motivation, but it goes on for more than twice the minimum necessary communication

(c) I'm distracted by some unresolved issue I care about more.

(c) is clearly my issue. (a) & (b) are arguably failures of the other party as much as anything I'm doing, but I feel like I could probably get better at responses here.

If anybody has any hints, I might even try to listen. :)

Planning on switching jobs soon, and having difficulty getting enough time to go through the generic medium difficulty CS content (backtracking, DP, union find, etc).

I only have so much time in the day with my day job; just a handful of hours, and then the usual life stuff like cooking/cleaning/exercise.

For those who have been through this horrible process, what sort of timeframes did you set to get the prep done and what sacrifices did you make?
Did your groceries include a lot of liquids and water?

Food is hardly useful when you’re stranded for less than 2 weeks.
Oh yeah, I’m all about being a detached driver. I don’t even look into their window to see the driver. I just leave it at “red SUV” and don’t allow myself to develop a picture of the driver.
Except it happens on government-owned sites from the local to the national level where I have EVERY right to visit, especially as my tax dollars are paying for it and it’s for services that are available to the general public.
I’d argue for diesel buses because wind and solar already strain keeping the electric grid stable, except it won’t be a coal plant, it will be a natgas plant, which by itself is a huge win over diesel motors in a big city.
How? In that case, some people come along and manage to enter their password, perhaps because they didn't enter their login or email first. The bitbucket entry field soaks the information up, and it's never revealed. Most of the time, when they enter the login, the password field can disappear in that case. Or is there something I'm missing?
Nah, I can see a wafer, pre-etcing or soemthing, being way more valuable than a mask set. We as digital logicians are way more at the grace of the process/foundary engineers than we'd like to admit.

Also, you can steal important masks without anything being missing.
I just noticed a new "Schedule Send" Gmail feature, could this be related and Google is adding in features from third-party apps?
A few minor corrections. The 16-23 rounds/minute is for the secondary battery of 5" guns, not the primary battery of 16" guns. If you watch a video of the loading/firing process of a 16" inch gun you'll quickly see why a firing rate of 1 round per 3-5 seconds is physically impossible.

So 2/min * 9 guns * [900kg;1225kg]/gun =

16,200kg/min high explosive broadside or

22,050kg/min armor piercing broadside

Your concluding sentence is 100% correct: best to be somewhere else.
> Fifth: Fuck this “sir” shit. We don’t have titles in the United States.

The Title of Nobility Clause prevents the federal government from granting titles of nobility. That's it. It doesn't prevent other countries from granting them to their citizens, and Ive is British.

There are plenty of titles that aren't of nobility in the US. Here's a few: Mr. President, Congresswoman, General, Colonel, and Mayor.

The cynical part of me says this is done intentionally for politically posturing.
It can be demoralizing to step back and ask yourself if what you do at work provides real value. And when you feel pressure to perform heroics to meet an arbitrary deadline, burnout is a real possibility.

It's important make sure you're not sacrificing your wellbeing for the benefit of the company. Your physical and mental health are far too important.

I heard from a customer service rep at a bank that they did that based on customer feedback. The general reasoning being that large amounts were most likely to be things like housing payments and car payments, where missing payments would incur larger charges from those companies, and/or put housing or transportation at risk.
I have the first gen Surface Book for home after replacing an old Macbook and I like it. The pen feature, battery life, and the OS are all great, with the following caveats

- It’s the only device I’ve ever cracked a screen on. There’s a vertical crack from the bottom of the screen to the top, which I attribute to some kind of weight on the laptop in my bag since there’s a gap between the keyboard and screen when closed.

- My WiFi chipset required me to disable an advanced TCP setting (offload? Can’t recall, found in a forum) in the registry to not crash my WiFi router or slow it down to 3Mbps

- Periodically my laptop will crash while sleeping (maybe it’s going to hibernation? Haven’t dug too hard) and prompt me with Bitlocker recovery every time.

AppleTV, the ultimate dongle. They’re small enough that you could carry one with you and use it as your HDMI adapter.
Not that I think this is an interesting point to argue (and I'm not sure exactly what you're getting at) but yea every slave owner was bad because we're categorizing them based on the bad act: owning slaves. Not every German was a soldier let a lone a Nazi during WWII.

I think there's an Axiom of Choice joke in there somewhere.
A lot of "smart kids" were basically taught to be that way by incredibly toxic school experiences. It's part of why I walked away from a National Merit Scholarship.

A lot of what they are doing is likely driven by intense loneliness combined with learned self-defense behaviors. Being ugly back is unlikely to really fix anything. It just feeds the toxic cycle of one-upmanship.
Seriously, we peaked with control logic for nukes in the 70s. China has been able to put their hands on PDP-11s for quite a while now, lol.

I'd don't really agree with what you and many other commenters seem to be saying that Gruber is "Monday Night quarterbacking" or bashing Ive. I mean, he says Ive is a "preternaturally talented designer" but that post Jobs that "software design has declined and hardware gone wonky." Does anyone really disagree with that statement? Ive is amazing but Ive and Jobs were magic.

I think the bigger thrust of Gruber's piece is his closing sentence, with which I wholeheartedly agree: "I don’t worry that Apple is in trouble because Jony Ive is leaving; I worry that Apple is in trouble because he’s not being replaced."
