The key product has been the phone. The computers and the tablets don't have the volume or the convenient payment mechanism. People on contracts just pay for these iPhones without caring too much about it being real money.

Anyway, the oxygen supply died on the phone a while ago but the momentum of the whole mobile phone business was such that nobody has noticed that the solid rocket boosters ran out of fuel and were chucked away three years ago.

Only if you work in the sector do you really appreciate how it has all changed. But if you build a business and an eco system around constant growth then things do fall back to earth rather quickly when everything stops growing. Sales may be magnificent but that is no good if there is no growth and the world has come to expect growth.

An ever growing business does not have to be efficient. Losses can be covered over because more sales make the previous mismanagement of expenses seem like small beer money.

Apple de-coupled the figures so we don't know how many units were shifted. Then they say that they are selling services now. But this isn't going to fill the hole left by the lack of iPhone opening day queues (remember that madness?).

These Chinese phones are going to be the default devices for a lot of people. When it comes to price or function they have it covered. Trade wars are not going to stave that situation off forever.

If you have bought into the Ive Apple eco system it all works perfectly. But if you are an outsider a lot of it seems daft. You can't plug your Apple phone into your Apple computer without dongles, then it doesn't rapid charge if plugged in that way or even move data quickly.

Then, with your Apple computer the touchscreen doesn't work. If you have had pinch to zoom for a while on a normal laptop you find it odd that Apple machines don't have that. The keyboard failings and much else is not necessarily design, sometimes things just don't work out. But when the phone doesn't plug into the computer, then you know that is a design thing.

The product lifecycles have also been bad, same Apple computers year in year out when most laptops get refreshed when new CPUs come out. It is absurd how Apple make what they feel like making not what their customers want. Ive was at the helm and the ship went off course five years ago with only those in the thick of it realising not all was well three years ago when sales started to slow on the product that matters - the phone.
It starts at $5999.

And you should only be buying the monitor if you are after a reference quality display. In which case you would know how cheap it is.
Because if you're already boiling the oceans, you probably won't have enough left over in the budget for marine conservation.
The meaning of a job title is encoded in your company's performance review and promotion system criteria. All other beliefs about what a title "should" be are just noise.

For us, "senior" means "promoted twice" i.e. by first building a successful small system and then by building a successful medium system, with the first having not imploded yet, and your peers and stakeholders generally happy.
Don’t use it wired; it lasts a very long time. A port on the side would break its continuous curve, the sharp contrast of a dark port would be visually jarring (especially since the mouse is small and the overall tone is bright and smooth; it’s relative), and invite unnecessary long-term imperfections (e.g. deformities to the sharp aluminum cut, dust, etc.).

I’m very thankful Apple doesn’t always listen to what “people” want. True creativity (especially in a pervasive aesthetic sense) is rare and most can’t envision new concepts or feelings before experiencing them.
Please. "Purposefully screwed over" is pretty dramatic and almost certainly not true. The mouse is sold as wireless. That seems to me a more likely reason it's impossible to use in a wired fashion. It also eliminates the need for a me to keep a giant pack of AA batteries at both my office and home office. It does require power occasionally, but then very briefly and almost never. The OS will also remind you almost comically early that the battery is getting low, and then you just plug it in when you go for lunch or a coffee run. When you get back you're good for another month or something like that.
The union won't be recognised by the company and they will all be fired at worst, ignored at best.

Sadly the viable options really are either to leave the games industry or band together and form your own company and do things "right"
Its a legal response. The response even reads the definition of cybersquatting according to them which is that the domain was purchased as "generally bad faith registration of another person's trademark".

So GrubHub is claiming that it wasn't purchased in "bad faith" because they are helping the business get more orders. Therefore it isn't cybersquatting.

I am not saying I agree (I think all these delivery services are predatory in more ways than one), but there statement is saying that according to ICAAN's definition they are not cybersquatting. Of course this is semantics because the local business would claim that it was bought without permission and was bad faith. And that is what GrubHub's legal team wants. A discussion about the exact definition of cybersquatting that goes on for months and/or years until the small company realizes it isn't worth their time.

This is the value of class action lawsuits. While class actions are often scams in their own right, this would be a legitimate example of a class action serving its purpose. All the thousands of restaurants affected by this would get together to fight against the company. That would be enough to scare GrubHub (and others).

This is literally the stuff people make jokes about when they talk about Apple.

Interestingly (also generally Melb based), my ideal temp personally is 19C.

Plants absolutely can and do get cancer!

Agrobacterium grows in the tumorous gall tissues in trees. They use these growths to multiply and trick the host to upregulate the nutrients for tumor and bacterial proliferation. These tissues then rot and bring the tree down with them.

Agrobacterium is frequently used in the lab to induce pluripotency or do gene injection.

Surely this has 'class-action lawsuit' written all over it. I can't speak with any authority regarding US law, but surely there are grounds for legal action being taken against GrubHub.
Pure fashion? I think that's a bit much. Rust was inspired heavily by ML/Haskell/C++, which are not particularly object oriented (C++ is object friendly, not object oriented).
It's not really jstrieb.github.io that's serving it, because since the content is in the url fragment, it is never sent to or from the server, it's handled entirely clientside.

>a very effective XSS host.

It can only do XSS against jstrieb.github.io which has nothing valuable. So it's not useful for anything. It can't be used in a <script> tag to obfuscate XSS attacks against other websites either, because the response isn't formatted as javascript. I guess it could be used in <iframes> on other websites in order to add obfuscation, but I think the use to attackers would be quite low.

Based on reading this: https://github.com/microsoft/WSL2-Linux-Kernel/issues/1 I think the MS kernel would run fine without Windows.
The posted article isn't particularly fascinating, but for a bit of fun, there's an OpenAI project where they demonstrate that due to the non-linear rounding of Float32 values you can actually train "non-linear" linear networks: https://openai.com/blog/nonlinear-computation-in-linear-netw...

Not where I expected that to go but I'll allow it. :P
Police use grant funds to do everything and usually have a stable of good smaller consulting firms that get shit done. They probably had 2-3 contractor FTEs for 4-6 months and built off an existing system.

Government IT is good at building things like this. They suck at large projects and ops.
But the companies that operate those apps are paying Apple. So Apple still gets their cut.

The same goes for Yelp or GrubHub. You can use Yelp for free, but Yelp is generally preying on local businesses to force the businesses to pay Yelp because of Yelp's distribution online.

GrubHub often has free delivery, but they are charging huge commissions to the restaurant you order from.

Someone always pays. It is the way the world works.
A chaotic part of me thinks that C should be illegal for security code for the lack of this.
I don't see a Linux version of Exchange or Active Directory yet. For internal email, it's pretty much Exchange or GTFO.
French here, that's my experience as well. I want to emphasize that the huge majority of the non-english native programmers I know are pretty opposed to translating programming languages.

However, my experience teaching Japaneses has been that what is crucial if you want to make a programming language accessible to different nationalities is to translate error messages correctly. Learning IF, FOR, RETURN is not hard. There are 20 words max to learn. You could learn that many kanjis in one day if you needed. However, when you are not good at English, understanding "Access error: Array index is out of bounds" requires another level of understanding and vocabulary.
Plants also lack a closed circuit circulatory system designed to accommodate autologous cells. So not only can the cells not get out of their walls, there wouldn't be much of anywhere to go if they did.
Except the parent didn't write "don't do SV style funding for a notetaking app". The parent said "building a business on a notetaking app is unwise" with no other caveats.
I Need a Bit of Help Reaching My Goal Any Suggestions?
Hey there
My name is Thomas I’m 22 years old
and an entrepreneur from Denmark

to be honest i'm new on here and don't know much about it.
so i'm not sure i'm doing it the right place
or if the hacker community is even a good place to ask for a help

My/company goals for the future
Fight Climate Changes
Help and Spread awareness of mental health issues
help the homeless and poor

limited edition shoe design created by Thomas Trabjerg: TT.
They’ll get to production stage if we reach seven pre-orders.
If you want to be involved in helping reaching the goal, it would be awesome!
Once the goal is reached, they’ll be custom made in Italy and shipped in 15 to 20 business days.
You Can have a look at them here: https://www.aliveshoes.com/tt-61
Cheers!

if you know any communities where i could/should ask for help instead
please don't be afraid to leave a comment

General purpose for me tends to be a loose definition of communication /media in any form (web pages, IM, video, photos, games..) either consumption or creation.

CLI works incredibly well for anything related to controling systems (local, web servers), or running any kind of processes at scale (web scraping, photo metadata). Discovery is the biggest problem here, though I do believe it's solvable. If I want to do any one-off task, such as resizing an image, that's incredibly easy to locate and do within the typical operating system GUI, whereas to do it in CLI I'd have to resort to man-pages or search engines to figure out what command to execute.
Sorry the idea about being another person acting outraged on Twitter about something makes me cringe.

I'd rather spend my time building decentralized alternatives to those products. Which is what I'm doing in my spare time.

We, the developers and startup peoples, are the ones who can do something real about it.

Sorry for the late reply. Titan has lakes of liquid methane rather than water. Raptor is a methalox engine. I think refueling on the planet would be quite possible.
I've heavily typed on a Key1 and Key1 Black Edition since their respective launches and haven't had any hardware problems. Both phones have been very durable and CPU performance hasn't seemed to degrade over time.
> I don't think anybody expected it to be as successful as it has been

How do you measure success? Because there is no way any comparison with the number of people who own an iPhone or any other kind of Apple device. Even in Japan where Apple has the lion share of the smartphone market I hardly see people with an Apple watch.
Why is this relevant today? ICANN removes price caps on .org domains despite thousands of comments (98.1%) against https://www.reddit.com/r/webdev/comments/c7hxy1/icann_remove...

This bizarre fantasy that privatizing things increases the public's oversight and control and makes the institution more accountable really needs to stop: "Public revokes its own authority over something in effort to increase its authority over it"

It's positively kafkasque in the logic; just astounding people feel this way.
X-Mouse Button Control
That's super impressive!

The Mini Bros game is 2.5 kilobytes of high level source[1] so a fair resource comparison should either include FastBasic 3.4's runtime footprint (if interpreted?) and/or a compiled standalone executable size (if FastBasic is capable of it). i.e. ROM + RAM requirements to run on bare metal, including libary/runtime dependencies.

But my byte-counting pedantry aside ;-), you're exactly right to celebrate authors of such tight works that are still actually fun and attractive. I enjoyed the author's line-by-line walkthrough and dev journal. I know some modern programmers may not see the point in these apparently arbitrary competitions targeting old platforms but I really think there is wisdom and magic in this frugality!

Those bans come with loopholes that you could drive a bus through.

You can determine from free public records search that somebody has an arrest without even knowing what it is, and people use that to filter folks all of the time.
Ask HN: Do you use text summarizing apps?
I mean apps that summarize articles, PDFs, essays, etc.

I've seen these apps and I don't tend to use them because in my experience even the ones that are good, are only maybe up to 70% good and there's high likelihood the app misses some key section.

I was wondering if anyone else has had experience with them, and why or why not you use them.
SwiftUI, and the underlying system for embedded DSLs that it's built upon, is pure genius.

It has excited me and invigorated my creativity in a way that I had not felt since Microsoft's WPF/XAML, but unlike WPF+XAML you don't have to work in 2 different languages for the logic versus the declarative UI, and unlike Microsoft I don't have to worry about it being museum'ed and forgotten after a couple short years.

See "What's New in Swift 5.1" [0] around 31:15 where they show an example of how you might use full-featured Swift to output HTML. You can immediately tell that it's a hint of something huge and possibly disruptive to come.

SwiftUI and its live previews and device-agnosticism are already insanely powerful. There's no reason why that tech shouldn't be applied to web dev as well, and hopefully even ported to Windows/Linux/Android to output their native GUIs.

Is there a lot of information online relating to those subjects? I'd guess it's a lot easier to find knowledge in these areas than lithium ion batteries for cars, which obviously makes it more dangerous because there's nobody to help if something goes wrong.
How is this not cyber squatting ? Also isn’t impersonating a business that you don’t own a crime ?
They don't say archaic, they say "learning to code is beyond the reach of most people", which seems like a fair statement.

My kids learned how to use touchscreens as babies. They learned how to manipulate GUIs around the time they entered school. But they still regard my terminal window as black magic, and I'm not sure how to even start explaining what's happening when I punch in commands.

That said, I agree the article is overstating the impact this will have: computers talking to computers has been a thing for a long time, they just use APIs (which are carefully crafted to be as umambiguous as possible) instead attempting to parse ambiguous human speech and pipe it into arbitrary web pages.
An idiot's attempt to do a go like error handling in C++
The most upvoted answer begins with the words “Unpopular answer” and then continues with cynicism. That definitely feels very HN. (No offense, of course; just found it amusing.)

Although you make some good points, I disagree with the premise that it’s pure fashion. Language syntax doesn’t prevent you from implementing various OO paradigms but when you combine syntax with community norms, things do tend to be constrained. Nobody does traditional inheritance in Go, for example, which actually tends to work out well in use cases where it’s popular.
Rude service inspired a multi-million euro firm
Yes, I felt brave, so I went after everyones darling C#, and not an easy target like Java.

I read C# documentation several times a week. I do not like it.
I worked at a dealership that sold 4X4 and trucks in Houston, Texas several years back. Big giant grille guards were sold all the time. Most of the buyers never drove off road or even in the country. So, I agree that those guards are more dangerous for non-vehicle impacts with little gain but image is everything when selling someone something.
In practice, I agree: this is pretty cheap given the market.

But now take a step back and think about it: the actual problem is probably pretty simple. If the databases are well made, it would just take a few requests for this operation to be done. Even with the tests, that's one or two programmers' job for two weeks, and maybe one week of a partial review of results by a legal specialist to validate the quality.

Imagine if the state had two in-house programmers up to this task available. $195,000 would cover their salary for a year.

> and the consequences when there's a system failure, e.g. lawsuits

Another saving grace for doing things in house: you take actions internally. You can correct very quickly, shuffle incompetent people, save all the litigation costs and the bad faiths over misinterpretation of a SoW.
Swift arrays are the only programming language arrays that have ever baffled me. I still have no idea how to manually reconstruct them given the array struct.
Unionising or even mentioning it while employed as a contractor is going to ensure a cancellation. As unfortunate as it is, it's desperately needed.
I think I would have to disagree. It seems like most issues I have, someone else has already had them, and the probability that they are knowledgeable enough to have worked it out and posted the solution already is higher.

I have also often had issues that turn out to be driver issues, where a bug was already opened for the issue on some bug tracker, and the driver developers have already provided solutions in the comments. That kind of thing doesn't really happen on Windows.
Yes, it sounds silly to most. Most people would also say an asymmetric phone notch and chin doesn’t bother them. That’s why pushing pragmatic and perfectionist design (it’s a delicate balance, and Apple isn’t perfect) is difficult. But on a deeper level, most people feel good design and experiences without ever noticing them.

It’s much more pervasive than you think.
They're probably taking a commission on the orders coming in through the bogus website or call center. The call center is what really gets me. I can understand how the website with a much better seo rank could drive more business to a mom and pop shop, but supplanting a legitimate phone number on yelp or wherever else is seriously shady.
My cell service on LTE in the US is about as fast as my cable modem. But I can't just cancel my cable internet and tether instead, because every telco performs severe rate-limiting once you use up a bandwidth quota -- there's no truly unlimited data option.

So perhaps you're assuming that 5G will result in unlimited data and the obsolescence of cable internet as a result, but that's not obvious, at least to me.
Yep. Unions make sense in the game industry in the same way they make sense in the movie industry. These folks are being taken advantage of. The overtime is insane.
Yeah, they've been talking about implementing something like that for as long as I can remember. The current system wastes so much heat that it's always 10-15°C warmer in the city than outside its borders.

I mean, how much coal do you have to burn to warm the air outside by 10-15°C?

I am from an ex-Soviet city too, by the way.
FWIW, I see Apple watches everywhere in the U.S. Even (especially?) on totally normal people.
there seem to be more open source apps on android, where an app can be put into the play store for free, vs the apple store which costs $100/year

>But the only justification for using it was really "IT made us do it". And I saw how the IT leadership in these places were older people perhaps maybe fighting older political battles.

I've seen this happen too in predominantly Linux shops. In the early 2000s Microsoft worked hard to cultivate relationships with future IT leaders and those relationships have a way of enduring. Even if your CIO can't get everyone onto Windows they might still find a place for Office 365 without much time spent weighing up the alternatives.
