The idea is to focus on doing your job well and release yourself from the pressure of the side effects, like fame and other things that are expected rewards for a job well done.

Getting those rewards might represent their own bit of karma yoga, with separate effort.

It is silly to think a divine entity is going to descend from the heavens to ensure that you get your just rewards for doing a good job.
Thanks for the link. It is a very interesting read.

In particular it also says this:

To avoid both signals being added by the system, a priority P/B is provided on each stick. By pressing this button, a pilot may cancel the inputs of the other pilot.

From this link: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_France_Flight_447

As pilot flying, Bonin took control of the aircraft via the side stick priority button and said, "I have the controls."

Which again suggests at least in this case, Bonin was the only one flying the aircraft.

> He ruined the best programer’s laptop on the market.

Do people really think the macbook as a device is great for programming?

Maybe it's just personal preference but I've always hated the keyboard (spacing was bad and lots of more less mainstream keys that are important in programming like the function keys were really small) and how annoyingly large the mouse pad is.
I've heard the reason is because that's where they roll out maintenance first

That doesn't make sense - why would they do maintenance in their largest (and oldest) region first? I'd expect them to roll out changes to smaller regions first so problems will affect fewer users.

I think the more likely explanation is that it's their largest (and oldest) region.
Lots of great advice here already (especially #1 and #4 from @csa), so I'll only add two things:

1. A good exercise for you and your wife: take turns expressing how you each feel and why you feel that way to one another. Then, take turns describing the other person's feelings and frustrations back to each other. Sometimes the biggest source of frustration comes from feeling unheard. Doing this forces you to actually listen (vs. waiting for your turn to talk) and helps demonstrate that you're at least hearing and understanding where the other person is coming from.

2. After talking to your wife, you may find out that there really is an unfair imbalance right now. If so, it's important to get a sense of whether this imbalance is short- or long-term. Most couples where both partners work take turns prioritizing each other's career. It sounds like you just need to find out if what's happening right now is forever or not, and maybe get a little more recognition from her for how much you're stepping up right now.
Anyone can archive any channel in the free instance. It is meant to be used by a trusted team apparently
This website is such a blast from the past. I remember using DJGPP in highschool in 1998 and it still looks just the same. Glad to hear that it's still being used and updated; maybe I'll give it another try for old time's sake.
I took a class in college on lie detection technology from someone who worked doing research. Lie detectors don't detect lies or emotions, they measure heart rate, respiration rate, and galvanic skin response, which only tell you when the individual is experiencing something; could be pain, anxiety, fear, anger, happiness, a lot of things. Maybe they are lying, maybe not, not really good enough evidence with those things.

Heart rate isn't going to give you as much information, and you aren't in a controlled environment, so I imagine things like exercise could effect it. It can be detected with a camera recording your face and a simple algorithm though, so biometric data from an airport could definitely give you someone's pattern.

This laser presumably detects vibrations, so I'd be interested to see if something as simple as listening to music with a bit of base as you walk could effect it.

> An iphone out of the box cannot be connected to a new mac laptop. It's complete insanity.

While I disagree with pretty much everything else you said, this is 100% on point. That they haven't moved iPhones and iPads to usb-c yet, or at least include a usb-c to lightning cable in the box, is mind boggling to me.
> but it's not clear if USB would have even caught on if Apple didn't do that.

Here's the problem with that argument; Macs are a pretty small percentage of the computer market, and always have been. Consumer peripheral companies are driven by what people will buy, not moving the market forward.

USB was always going to be what it is, and if you want evidence of Apple's lack of power here just look at FireWire. They pushed it hard, but consumers didn't care so it died.
> Google's OAuth APIs have been around for years as a way for apps to get access to and control your Google data. A third-party email app, for instance, would want access to your Gmail account and the ability to send, read, and delete emails so it could control everything remotely. An IM app might just want access to your contacts and profile picture. For years this was purely an agreement between the user and the developer—the app would say what it wanted access to, and the user could deny or allow it.

Yeah, until the Cambridge Analytica scandal revealed that agreements like this aren't sufficient to protect user data. I think Google's making the only acceptable tradeoff here.

Thin and light is what a portable computer is supposed to be. If you wanted something non-portable you could get an iMac, or a mac mini, but to compromise the products for other use cases would just be poor design.
Look at the building Jony Ive designed. People literally walk into walls.

Maybe the world is better off if he works on computer hardware all day every day.
> Slowly, over decades, we're developing iconography for common operations.

We did that already and called it written language.
They do have a thicker pro latop: the iMac.
>Today’s MacBooks are worse computers but more beautiful devices than the ones they replaced. Is that directly attributable to Jony Ive? With these keyboards in particular, I believe the answer is yes.

Until now design was king at Apple.
Will his departure bring balance back, or will design lose out to the other teams?
> But design is everything. It is both form and function.

Steve Jobs would agree with you: "People think it's this veneer – that the designers are handed this box and told, 'Make it look good!' That's not what we think design is. It's not just what it looks like and feels like. Design is how it works."

So I think OP's term "tyranny of design" could be better phrased "tyranny of form" (as opposed to function).
As a counterpoint, I was once driving across the country with my Father in a rented Kia Forte, heading West to Oregon. Neither of us had a smart phone at the time, having lived in a rural area on the East coast with little cell phone service - so we relied on an old paper map, a Rand McNally or something like it, to deliver us to the West Coast

As we were driving West through Nevada, we reached Winnemucca - and faced a decision. We could detour severely south via route 80 to Reno, and head back North, or take route 49, which looked to be on the map an improved road, in more or less our direction of travel. Turns out that this "Jungo Road" was really nothing more than a heavily rutted dirt road past some seemingly abandoned mines, that skirted the Black Rock Desert and served as an access road to where Burning Man is held. A few hours of skull rattling bumpy road and one super dirty rental car air filter later, we finally emerged back onto a nicely paved road near Gerlach.
Hacker hire sites real or fake?
I apologize in advance if this isn't the content that anyone wants to see one here. In the event anyone feels like giving advice though...

Is anyone familiar with hacker hire sites? I have an actual, completely legal need for a hacker consultation which I can pay for. I am trying to get one of my accounts back that was hacked and deleted on me. Are any of these hacker sites real or will they just take you $$$$?
What happened to the Beatles after the death of John Lennon? How did the Doors manage themselves creatively after Jim? It is going to be fascinating to see how Apple manages creativity, collaboration and inspiration hereon.
The mid 2012 Macbook Pro Retina was the best Macbook. It had a HDMI port, USB-A ports, SD card reader, and a Magsafe plug that wouldn't send your Mac flying if someone ran into the cord.

Mine worked well for 6 years, but it had a hidden defect where the graphics card would cause a kernel panic. Even though it was a factory defect, Apple said it was "vintage" and I was forced to upgrade. Sad part is Apple will never make a Macbook like that especially with a starting price of $1600.
> the 70-year old woman could accept the situation with the granddaughter and find other outlets for caretaking or being with children, or tried a legal way to address the situation

Wow, what a simultaneously disgusting and ignorant sentiment. Disgusting, because it assumes children, family and relationships are fungible, and ignorant, because it assumes grandparents have rights of some kind, when they don’t.
>But what benefit would it bring to believe that I have absolutely no control over my life?

You're ignorant of understanding reality and similar to the majority of people because of religion. The society we live in has been shaped around assuming we have control by the roots of religion being ingrained for centuries. The great travesty I observe is ignorance born from assuming free will and it needs to be erased for humanity to not be evil. Currently many humans are in prison for being born into the life with a horrible outcome and without any control of not being influenced to be penalized unjustly by fate. The injustice is equivalent to the holocaust. Society is imperfect with how people develop by genetics & the environment being different. The scapegoat has been blaming victims and assuming they have free will.

>And if I believe that I have control (which itself isn't something I can control in your model) when in fact I don't, then why would that change anything about my life?

No matter at the end of the day, fate will decide how you end up being is true. Fate for me has made me converse how reality is with as many people and because I think it's the right thing to do; while understanding the preceding. I would be immoral if I didn't discuss it once in awhile and while knowing how against people are when it comes to understanding free will is an illusion because they've been conditioned their whole life to think the contrary.

>What positive effect would this revelation of lack of control have?

Understanding the collective unconscious is really the key. The evolution of humans (behaviour & interaction) is built by the foundation of what people share in their mind. I'm a firm believer that faith (the belief in something with no evidence) is evil because of what I've experienced in life by people that were very controlling; against lgbtq people. Thus, I find free will evil and the reason for what has occurred upon society because of it. Understanding why knowing free will is an illusion takes awhile to truly understand the benefit. Furthermore, I likely would have murdered the people who abused me if I didn't come to realize they had no control to how they became to be as persons. I'm grateful that fate was at least kind enough to me to not become a murderer. I'm disfigured forever as a visible transgender woman because of these people that had no control in reality. Luckily fate is going to allow me an exit soon.
I think that was a joke about the differing opinions on the 2016 MPB. It’s either the best or the worst programmer’s laptop depending on who you ask and how much they like deep key travel.

> I find that people who love to hate on DRM (nothing personal towards you), never seem to be willing to take a hit when it comes to living without popular content that doesn't exist on non-DRM channels/platforms.

I pay for DRM-free versions of anything if it's available -- even if it's more expensive (I've downloaded many hundreds of dollars of DRM-free audiobooks). I eben refuse to buy physical books from authors like JK Rowling (who tried to force book-owners to return copies of the Half-Blood Prince that were accidentally sold early).

Here in Australia you sometimes can't even buy the DRM-up-the-wazoo version. Game of Thrones wasn't available through any legal channels for years. And that's ignoring the Australia Tax we get for not being from the US or Europe (the shipping costs of bytes is very high it seems).

Then again, I also don't watch too many films or shows these days. Mainly because I can't get many DRM-free versions.
> Saying "The updates do not change any of our commitments or policies" while rewriting a contract is just a contradiction.

To be scrupulously fair, that could well be interpreted as "We were already committed, as a matter of policy and/or applicable law[0], to upholding these additional terms not mentioned in the previous contract, and all we're doing now is formally documenting something we were already doing.", but that would require assuming good faith on the part of Facebook of all entities, so no.

0: eg adding "We guarrantee we will provide a replacement [widget] if the one you ordered arrives damaged." in a jurisdiction where that's legally required anyway.

Current SMSBackup+ user here.

I agree with your sentiment, but part of the key difference for me is that SMSBackup+ is open source. I've been building the app myself and using it for years, so I'm very certain what it's doing and not doing.

This may or may not apply to the other apps being affected by this ban.

Coilguns have physical limitations that make them unsuitable for extremely high velocity applications. Specifically, the engineering difficulty in switching the coils on and off scales with the square of the currents used in a coilgun.

Any inductor has a rate of change of current proportional to the voltage across the ends. So all else equal, if you double the current, you double the switch-on and switch-off times. But, since you're using higher energies, you're getting a faster projectile - which means you now need to switch the coil off faster as well, to prevent suck-back.

So in short, coilguns get significantly harder to build at higher energies. In contrast, railguns get more energy efficient as projectile velocity increases.
I never understood realism in painting for this very reason. The frame around the painting makes it impossible to accept the painting as the thing it's pretending to be.
general disdain for most things run by any type of government here

Why should that have anything to do with it? Government-run libraries are a much more recent development - the first libraries in America were set up by the churches, and later became private entities such as Ben Franklin's Library Company of Philadelphia.

Yes, obviously every other comment is about how terrible it is, however no one focuses on the tech that's available unless you're already in the field. Not sure what about my comment set people off, I almost expect it's bleedover from a different thread since there's no responses other than yours. The tech itself is pretty cool, using data sets to model similar body types. I remember seeing this when it first came out and was being used to swap President Obama's speech. I'd expect that this will be used to model missing children better, it might lead to computerized assistance in facial and body reconstruction. The tech is pretty interesting.
You can't dismiss it all as entitlement. Imagine that you have a gym membership and someone is offering a service to life your weights for you for a fee. Do you have a right not not lift weights without paying this fee? Of course you do.

Some of these things that people want to charge fees for are things that you can participate in for free naturally, so long as nobody is gate-keeping you. So it's very hard to justify spending money on them... particularly if you consider them bad for you, (like, say, binging on Netflix.)
well maybe they will start designing again for the customers that made Apple Mac products popular. I swear for the last five or so years Apple was designing for themselves and with the Mac Pro for people they thought deserved to be their customer and not the customers they had; as in the ones that badgered them for a replacement at a similar price point to the trash can which itself was designed for who?
Does this mean that Scott Forstall might be back at Apple to help fix their software issues
The AAA-class games with a budget of a blockbuster movie? Well, I'm fine with them following the movie locked-up route.

New and original indie games? New Portal? New Monument Valley? Maybe even new Doom? I bet they would live with shorter copyright; Doom was released as free software much sooner than after 28 years.
It's the interface and interaction of physical books which is lost.

I can keep my hand between two sections and flip between them, insert colored post-its, or bokmarks or index cards. Dog-ear pages, make marginal notes, star, underline, or (shudder)highlight.

The one thing missing is full-text search, though a good index is a 90% solution (and so: not optional).

Text and other element placement is static, so spatial memory works. Fluid layout is great for screens, but lousy for recall.

And the interface is consistent across books, authors, publishers, and centuries. Whilst, yes, various ebook formats offer facsimiles of many of these features, they are just that, and mediated to bot. Want to highlight? Better hope that's a rendered or OCRd (and reliably) PDF, or you're SooL.

Source; A tablet with over 5,000 epub-type docs, of various sources and provenance, from single page to multi-volume book length. I appreciate the weight and space savings, but miss much physical books deliver.

You are vastly overestimating the sophistication of the US banking system. Integrating with it is incredibly difficult since so many steps rely heavily on trust between parties. For example, information sufficient for direct depositing into someone’s account is sufficient for direct depositing OUT of said account as well.

The problem becomes where he would go (that is, what he would build) next. He's designed the HQ of one of the biggest companies in the world down to the smallest details. A company so deeply intertwined with his own persona and DNA. Bizarrely, I can see him somewhat disappearing off into the sunset - he might still do some design work when he chooses and have some passion projects, but outside of Apple, it's deadlines, limitless budgets, ability to acquire anything it deems necessary, etc. maybe he's achieved all he wants to?
> touchscreen, fingerprint reader with U2F support, folds into a tablet

None of that is a compelling enough reason to switch, when the OS is the primary reason I jumped ship to Macs in the first place.

It's not just about being able to run this or that app, but the overall comfort of my everyday work environment, while still giving me the room to occasionally step out of my comfort zone on lazy afternoons.

As long as macOS retains the ability to run emulators, I think I'll be fine with its growing number of security-based restrictions.

However, whenever I have occasionally peeked back in on the state of Windows (the last time being a year ago, to run some games), it still had many of the same annoyances, frustrations and archaic encumbrances that made me wish for a better world and try out Macs around 10 years ago, and I still don't agree with the overall philosophy of Microsoft (as I perceive it.)

Apple/macOS remains the "lesser evil", at least for me.
