I'm concerned about the starving people in sub Saharan Africa. It would still be inappropriate for me to constantly spam you about it, regardless of how hungry they are.
The way you experience temperature heavily depends on the relative humidity.

E.g. I find 0C in London way colder than -15C in Northern Europe.
I love that the input is using inverted logic due to the voltage translation needed, but the code and comments don't mention this.

To me it looks like an obvious bug and first glance, since the CAPITALIZED sigal states don't match between code and comments.

Glad I read the article first. :)
Thank you! I look forward to reading that book.
Law making with catastrophic consequences must be considered as an act of terrorism. Political organizations involved in such law making must be considered terrorist organizations, dissolved, their funds confiscated and participation in them shall lead to ban on any political activity for 10 years. Would be interesting to see if any party wants to accept such risk now only to be wiped by a tsunami within next 50 years.
Why is Chuo Shinkansen [1] never mentioned, either in the article or in either of these two discussions? It's an actual intercity maglev line being built right now, so you'd think it would be the first thing to compare to this Chinese train?

Actively join in the community here? Maybe a little judgement?

It's a topic I find important, so I do try and read those that come by. First time or two it's interesting, when I see 4 or 5 relevant stories break same day, like a couple of days ago, and it looks like I saw half those you found that day... For me at least, that seems like pushing it.

Take an afternoon to go through the Go FAQ [0] (they answer why they don't have exceptions), design documents [1], including this fairly recent one [2] about error handling - they explicitly discuss exceptions and the pros / cons - and that's just what ended up in the design documents / FAQ, there's been at least ten years worth of discussion gone into that beforehand. Do some googling before making accusations like that please.

It’s probably one of the reasons for his departure. According to Ive, Apple is no longer pursuing design for the sake of design and it’s instead going for products that work but in a more “mundane” form. And this somehow is a bad thing.

Same. I feel like I'm in a minority, but I much prefer the feel of the 'new' butterfly switches. I've had two MBPs so far with this mechanism - one 2016 and now a late 2018 and I've not had any reliability issues.
This shouldn’t surprise you. Most people can infer gender from visual appearance alone with well over 99.99% accuracy without being explicitly told. If you know their name and other gendered indicators, it would be a marked anomaly NOT to know their gender.
I'm pretty sure it changed relatively recently and is now "put", which has over 200 definitions (many of which overlap with "set")!
Wow, the world has all kinds of people. This attitude is bizarre to me. It seems similar to something I've heard before, "Why would I look in the rearview mirror? All that stuff is behind me so I don't care about it!"
It's never changed this suddenly and dramatically before: https://xkcd.com/1732/
Nobody said they need to start from scratch. This failure of a keyboard already proved your point. Simply going back to the previous design and iterating from that would have been a massive improvement.

Off topic, but capitalizing words in titles in English really bothers me. Every word in the title are nouns, but some are here ment to be verbs. In German for example, only the nouns would have been capitalized, making the title much easier to read.
If someone is telling the news service what to write, then you've got your business model right there: the person who decides what content to promote gets to pay for it.

I'm talking about real independent news. That is the kind of news that is absolutely vital for a democracy, and it's the one kind for which there is no easy business model. Ideally the readers would care about independent news, but it turns out a lot of people love getting lied to.

That reminds me of Scala's `Either` type, which I'm sure is also present in other languages (and more functional circles which I'm not familiar with at all).

I think the important part there - and the contrast with e.g. exceptions - is that an error is treated as normal, as one possible outcome of calling a method, instead of exceptional as exception-based languages seem to be. I mean yeah of course a file can not be available to open, that can be expected. (That is the simple use case of course, I'm sure there's much more complicated situations).
As bad as it sounds for the coast, if/when the big one hits, a tsunami will be the least of the region's problems.

That's because a magnitude 9 earthquake along the Cascadia Subduction Zone is predicted to have effects well inland. E.g. most of Portland's bridges won't survive. The recently constructed Tilikum Crossing is up to modern earthquake standards, probably the new Sellwood Bridge, but the older bridges aren't. Those older bridges include all the interstate highway bridges.

How long can the Portland Metro area survive without electricity and without water and with much of the road infrastructure unusable because of damaged bridges?

A strong earthquake along the subduction zone can also affect the entire Washington Coast and Seattle. It could also affect Vancouver and Victoria, British Columbia.

Does anyone believe that FEMA could cope with a disaster like that? I don't. If and when the big one hits, a lot of people will be in for a lot of hurt.

This is generally known in the area. E.g. my daughter learned about it in a high school geology class. The high risk area is "anything west of I-5". But, as the article points out, the politicians have opted for Gollum's "I'm not listening" attitude.

I see your point, although I would argue that you could say the same thing about human factors like intoxication. Say there's a big drinking holiday, human-driven deaths go up due to people drink driving. Self-driving cars are immune to that factor.
> Both these fixes could have been in the market 1-2 years ago if they company truly wanted it.

How much development time does Apple need for a new laptop design? I think it takes them about 2 years.

So if you say they could have had fixed keyboards in 2017, they would have had to start designing them in 2015, which is a year before the 2016 models even went on sale.

My assumption is that they only realized that the butterfly switches are unsalvageable after the July 2017 upgrade failed to fix the problems, so they started working on new Macbook designs with scissor switches in late 2017, which will be released in 2019/2020.
I've been there a few times in the summer. Some people were complaining about 75F weather, saying it was hot. 75F is the temp that I still wear a light summer jacket, and 70F is pretty chilly to me.

Either way 90F without AC is too hot, even for me.
Or a few weeks before, and it's exactly what resulted in his resignation. I picture it as him wanting yet one more go at salvaging the flawed design, and Cook telling him that he's overruling him because the customers' patience has absolutely run out and the company's reputation is being tarnished by this stupid, little, avoidable thing, so back to a sensible keyboard and damn the thinness.

At which point Ive must have said something like, "Never, not on my watch", and that's when his watch ended.
I don't currently use FreeBSD, but I have fond memories of acquiring a FreeBSD 2.1.5 CD set as a kid. I was already tinkering with Slackware Linux, but FreeBSD was so much more well-documented. We did not have an internet collection, so good documentation was extremely useful.
No need to backtrack. If the person/company/brand you're writing about is also the one paying you to write about them, that is exactly advertising. It's not news.

Never been in such a car, but just reading this drives me mad. How can things go that wrong in pretty much every regard?

Sorry for this ranty attitude right now but how do so many things that we technically figured out perfectly get shittier and shittier? We fortunately slowly come to realize how important automated testing, integration tests etc. are to make software development better and faster in the long run, but do we in turn just stop thinking about if what we're currently doing actually makes sense? Take a step back for a second?

I don't want to be the crazy guy shouting more regulation every time something goes wrong, but I really wonder if we're in need for some up to date rules about what makes a car safe for traffic and what doesn't that specifically has UX in mind. Entirely ban touch screens or buttons with no tactile feedback from cars for example. Today you have dash gauges that lag behind by a second. If the trend continues, by tomorrow we have software driven AI cloud based brakes that are delayed by a second or two.

Noble as your motives are, you're still spamming and that's not the intention of this forum.

There are "Show HN:" posts...perhaps that's a better option for you.
Thanks for the frank feedback and I will post less. I think also I can do a better job than "just" posting these links.
But isn't that partly due to it being summer in Alaska right now, and it is winter in Australia? You said "late last year" was your previous comparison, which implies it was approaching summer in Australia?
The article I linked to gives 1794 as an example of using singular they to refer to a specific person. And as it also points out, there's nothing particularly unusual about using they in the context of a specific person as well as being a plural. It is commonly accepted that "you" is now both singular and plural.
So there isn't! I occasionally look at that page, but have never gone so far as to actually try to respond to anybody that way, so I never noticed the lack of Reply button.

This is a thread about people being dumb, I suppose, so I am proud to have played my part.
Too late for me. I've already jumped ship and the effort of moving back isn't worth it. I still have and use apple products, but I've no interest in buying any more now, thanks to the shoddy experience I had with their more recent products. I also have no interest in airpods, so a new iphone is out too. Apple won me over quite late and then within about two years lost me again. It made me sad, because I really liked their products during that time, especially the multi-device experience, but I now already use too many non-Apple devices for that to matter and don't care anymore now.
Oh yes, it works now. There was a cloudflare outage, but I wasn't aware of it. Thank you.
Androgen Deprivation Therapy (ADT) Market Research on Trends to 2026
We agree to disagree then, though my point isn't the GDP. As a not entirely neurotypical human being, I not unsurprisingly believe that mono-focus causes progress in technology and science; progress which has the potential to improve conditions in the world. I don't think the relative equality in today's (at least North/West European) society would have been possible without this progress beyond a society based on brute force. To me, scientific progress and understanding enables social welfare.

At some point – and you can adapt this example to other fields – you want build a bridge that doesn't collapse, and niceness is not going to get you there. The engineer can be female, from an ethnic minority, disabled or a kid with rich parents, but you want to rely on them being a good engineer and not someone who got a free pass and cuddle treatment.

This is why the primary goal should be skill and not some rather subjective sense of social justice. I feel you promote equality of outcome and not just equality of opportunity.

This needs not be a black and white comparison, but consistently choosing politicians that prefer cuddle over hard results could very well lead to a society where there is no money for the weak, unprivileged, disadvantaged minorities, education, social welfare, medical care, etc; a society that – perhaps out of necessity – will squeeze out some of those people you'd want to support.

The complexity and cost of butterfly keyboards comparatively to traditional keyboards, reliables and cheaps just reminds me a bit an article I read on the development of Electromagnetic Catapults in US Navy (hard to build, astronomical costs).
The lane assist in my car (Skoda/VAG) has that behaviour, but only if you're not indicating.
Nope. I am still down £209 and have gotten no further. I have:

- Sent them a video of me opening the 2nd delivery to find playing cards (Literally from opening the Amazon box through to finding the playing cards inside the Samsung SSD box)

- Reported the matter to my local police, who phoned Action Fraud on my behalf. I've got me a crime reference number from Action Fraud.

- Signed 2 affidavits declaring what I did / did not receive

I've phoned them numerous times, and twice now that has involved speaking to someone, being put on hold, and then redirected to my own voice mail.

If I was the only person to have received card and a deck of playing cards I could understand their reaction, however they've removed the item from sale because a number of other people in recent days have received the same things [1].

When I spoke to my local police they were extremely confused by Amazon's behaviour. I gave Amazon the details of the officer I spoke to and the crime reference number, but that got me nowhere other that the same boilerplate email.

At this stage, I fear I'm going to end up taking Amazon to the small claims court here in the UK just to get my money back.

I have a wonderful garden. Its full of healthy, pleasant things .. trees bearing fruit (best pears I have ever eaten), berry shrubs, fruit bushes, luscious section, native tea's, salads, pumpkins, sunflowers, endless other delights among the privilege of overseeing it all, a daily water, a fair bit of weeding, occasional critter control, but .. yeah. My family regularly enjoys a new jam jar, and daily herbs and salads enrich every home cooked meal.

If someone tried to take that away from me, I'd simply move the whole thing to another place.

I am yet to see a human being whose lives weren't radically improved by engaging in the fruits of their own well kept garden.

I'm in the same boat, I much prefer the feel of the butterfly keys to the older mushy-feeling MacBook pro keyboards. Currently I'm still using the first Touch Bar MBP from 2016 and have had zero keyboard (or other hardware) problems.
If you have a mint 2015 mac pro 15" with box and battery -- I predict it will be going up in value.
US only. In the rest of the world you will not have these kind of problems. Referring to "we need to grow to survive and evolve as a species"...

Also it happens in US because they afford it. Once they can't afford it anymore, everybody will agree that it's OK to plant a garden.
Hopefully with drain holes like Thinkpad keyboards.
Butchering of the English language is hardly a modern phenomenon.
If this is true, then good riddance. I spent three thousand bucks on a new Macbook and had the keyboard fail within three months, and I still get intermittent problems I can only fix using air in a can.

Simply unacceptable when a Dell laptop with better specs would have been significantly cheaper.
As a vim user, I always use Ctrl-[ anyway instead of escape. So I map my capslock to control.

So I guess there is no scientific reason, just living memory. For me such articles just lack the scientific merit and the only purpose is trying to cause mass hysteria. Earlier it was about how we all going the freeze to death, nowadays it is how we are all going to die because of global warming. In fact Earth went through several warm and cool periods, even if you look back just few hundred years. I am all for reducing CO2 and I am pretty successfully reduced unnecessary CO2 production in my work by using more efficient solutions and not wasting energy because this is what is under my control to help mother Earth. Writing click baity articles without context and scientific merit is not going to help anybody.

The decision probably wasn't taken just today but some time back, but also Ive wouldn't have left over night either. So the decision to plan the new MacBook Air with a new keyboard could have triggered the exit of Ive, which has been announced recently - we don't even know when the Air is going to be updated with the keyboard.
in my country right next to germany, within 'protected' natural areas, insect life declined by as much as 85%. If you have a garden which is friendly to insects you get swarmed as there are literally no other places to go.

people need to be aware of this and stop just paving their gardens. create a nice home for some bugs :-) it will be good for your children and their children. So no excuse not to put some flowers outside and keep at least a few insects fed and happy.
