I'd definitely appreciate being able to change it as a setting.

Is there a hardware reason that couldn't have been implemented?
I ask for your help! Hello everyone, I'd like to get 2 karma point so that I would have 2 karma points in total, so that I can prove my HackerNews account into my Keybase account. Unfortunately I have no idea how can I gain karma, since I haven't used HackerNews that much. Can someone help me. Thanks.
> No sleep tracking

I guess it wasn't finished, but the WatchOs beta and iOS13 beta included sleep tracking code.
Wow, what a typo. I wish i could delete it..

We could ask ol' Nancy, unfortunately I hear Sid killed her.
Yes .. iPhone 8 size and below.. please. Current sizes are too big to use in one hand without having to reposition the phone (my pet peeve).

Touch ID as well. Preferred over Face ID... grab phone with thumb it opens instantly (my personal experience).

Another year for myself Im not refreshing my iPhone. I did every year from 2009 to 2018; bought the XS last year and returned it. EDITED

For me the best motivation proved to be success. Once you get paying customers for your service your willingness to write code rises tenfold. And vice versa. If a service flops I don't want to touch a keyboard for weeks.
Since hooks introduction, I fell in love with React.
I always use useState, useEffect, useContext, useReducer...

I remember the pain building an app with redux and constant mapToState.... that was nightmare! With hooks it's so easy now.
Congrats on shipping it! It worked nicely on my first try.
I think this might be the feature for visualizing data, when VR/AR become mainstream.

Imagine this but with stylized graphics that respond to real-time data: you could see a popular post like some sort of concert with tons of people (the website visitors). Every comment made on the post can be also read from them in real time.

It's a way I wanted to browse the web for a long time.

Starting a new business during a recession is a fool's game.

The problem with a recession is that everyone has collectively decided to buy less stuff. People are buying less stuff, which means factories need to make fewer items, which means people get fired, which causes more people to buy less stuff.

It also means that banks are less willing to fund new businesses, and shareholders are less willing to buy up IPOs / etc. etc. Investors "flight to safety" and buy up US Treasuries, while selling off "risky" properties. Causing stock prices to drop, IPOs to fail, and the overall mechanisms of growth to taper off.

UBI "solves" social issues, but doesn't seem to be a solution to the economic / recession issue. If a recession hits, there's pretty much nothing you can do about it.

At the moment, there are some severely mixed signals: manufacturing seems to be in decline, agriculture is also in decline. Futhermore, the yield curve has inverted.

On the other hand: the unemployment rate remains low and general investor sentiment also seems high. Investors are still investing into risky businesses and focusing on a "Growth model" (see Uber, Lyft, Tesla, etc. etc.). So some people are optimistic, while others are growing pessimistic. Its hard to tell if a recession is on the way.
Same here I don't know why the review is so bad. The battery is great.
It does sound stingy although it's mostly media (audio and video) that's the storage killer.
This is exactly why I purchased the Apple Watch. I leave my phone at home more often than not. The Watch does just basic comms and I've removed notifications of everything else. It's the essential communication/navigation device that I need and all I really want. For anything else I'd much rather open my laptop. Hoping one day it can be a standalone device.
I actively develop https://reqloot.com. It is a cryptocurrency treasure hunt game, currently with 100-150 active daily users and generating revenue.

I'm open to having a cofounder if anyone sees the game as an opportunity.
I am genuinely jealous of your position. Sounds like you have a great situation going.
The simplest answer to me is the rampant normalization of celebrity sexual misconduct, especially the more philanthropically-oriented. The tipping point for Bill Cosby wasn't a criminal investigation or tell-all, just Hannibal Burress offhandedly mentioning the (decade old?) claims in a set.

It's confusing to me that we see Bill Gates as a particularly exceptional member of the philanthropic class outside of his extreme wealth. Perhaps the increasing popularity of "Effective Altruism"/Peter Singer's ideas, which align fairly well with the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation's work. Perhaps it was his ability to avoid scandal.
How does the battery drains during heat waves? I noticed mine gets depleted too fast when the temperature outside is 30+ degrees ( Celsius ).
You can get turn by turn on Watch without a phone.
My only Apple device is an iPad. If I could use the Apple Watch with the iPad I might do that! My health insurance company (Aetna) will pay for $150 of it.
At some point your family is not so much the people you were born to or grew up with, but the people you've chosen to be with, build a live together... Also, if I had to guess, no one has ever looked back on their life and said 'I wish I had spent more time being deliberately obtuse on the Internet' either.
Guess I should've added a </rhetorical>
You use a 10 year old phone?
Hard to beat the watches Garmin is making. 18 hour battery life isn't great compared to the fenix series with a week of battery life. And the features don't even come close.
While sleep tracking is possible the single most useful thing I could get out of a wearable, I just have never been able to sleep with a watch or band on. Until there's something as low profile as a reminder band (think Livestrong), I'm not sure if I'll be able to get sleep tracking (the Oura ring is promising, but the price point is too high for its limited applications to me).
This seems like a great article (assuming it's accurate). It's also pretty discouraging. One bit that's encouraging:

> Soon after the U.S. News ranking came out, 17 members of Trinity’s English department sent a letter to the college’s board of trustees acknowledging that Trinity’s slide in the rankings might “spark some misgivings among Trustees about admissions policies enacted by Angel Pérez.” The professors urged the trustees to ignore the rankings and continue the new direction in admissions. The students that Pérez was admitting, they explained, were qualitatively different than those in earlier classes. They were more rewarding to teach. They were just plain better students.

> “We perceive in many of these students a refreshing array of qualities that were all too rare in prior years: intellectual curiosity, openness of mind and spirit and genuine will to engage with their peers,” the professors wrote. If Pérez’s admissions policies were “having inadvertent, temporary effects on U.S.N.W.R.’s dubious ‘selectivity’ measure,” they added, “we think this is a small price to pay for one of the most exciting transformations Trinity has witnessed in many years.”

It gets discouraging again, after that.
That's not really the point I was making. Ada has been around since the 70's and at that time, was possibly the correct choice to make given the criteria. The question I asked at the end, and the title of this article, is why would I pick Ada today?

The best reason I've seen is because it's already passed the hurdles in some industries as being a compliant language for their needs. That might be a good enough reason for some, but it's not one that's important to me.
Apparently you've never lived "paycheck to paycheck" before. I can remember a time in my life where I would be so happy just to have an extra $100 at the end of the month. This was living with roommates, never going out, and bringing my lunch everyday. No frivolous spending at all.

God forbid you have to fix your car, or some other unexpected expense. That $1,000 it took you 6 months to save is gone in an instant.

While I'm much better off these days, lots of Americans live the way I just described. You can't save what you don't have.

Or someone, anyone, make a functional clone of it.

I don't care much which OS I have to run, they are all the same now. I just want a smart phone that fits in a single hand.

I tried the palm and it is a bit too small, and the battery life was insanely bad.
I won't upgrade from this old used SE until some phone manufacturer produces a working phone that will fit in a pocket. It boggles the mind. I tried the Jelly Pro, which ran Slack and a handful of critical apps, but the battery life was only a few hours.
How is this different from Divvy?
"Only" THC cartridges? There are more smokers of marijuana than those of nicotine in some demographics.
I retired my previous fitness watch (Polar M600) when its battery life got to be this bad.

I moved on to a Garmin 645M with almost a week of battery life. It is nice to be able to travel for a week on business and not worry about carrying a charger. The display is clear and always on.. It plays Spotify so I can run without my phone.
>I just doubt companies acknowledge or care about a lot of tech issues.

You're bang on, they sure don't.

Which is why I am extremely selective in who I will work with.

My consulting gigs are generally just favors for friends or friends of friends who are stressed out from having hired shitty programmer after shitty snakeoil salesman for the past few years straight... and are finally ready to bite the bullet and pay a few grand for whatever they need done... once and for all.

I would say that situation describes almost 100% of the consulting gigs that I have ever done.
Weird because I see women choosing to wear skimpy clothes literally everywhere I go. Yoga pants, short shorts, high skirts, etc. What evil man is forcing all these women to wear these skimpy clothes?

Last I checked that woman you are whining about chose to wear those clothes, chose to be modeled in them, and allowed her likeness to be uploaded to the internet for other people to view her.

Just because you immediately sexualize it doesn't mean others see the same thing. You are everything what's wrong in this world.
Not just you. I think it’s driving adoption and innovation in higher end watches.
Cool, another supporter of a smaller iPhone. I upgraded my SE to a newer SE after buying a clearance SE from the Apple store. If they could make a high res. screen that essentially is the entire front of the phone (ala the trend for larger phones), I'd be impressed and upgrade.

I wonder what data is motivating Apple with regard to phone sizes. I assume trends towards video and image consumption are really pushing for larger screens. Anyone have any insight or knowledge?
But can I look at my Watch, see the map and an indicator of the direction I'm currently facing? I assumed the directional indicator required an internal compass, but maybe I'm wrong.
That is Apple’s plan: make the Apple Watch a stand on its own device.

I think the "with storage systems" part is crucial here.

And then after you get laid off from the vanishing few remaining companies using old tech and can’t find another job, you’ll be complaining about “ageism” on HN.

If the market is paying higher than market salaries for the buzzword compliant “digital transformation consultant”, that’s what I will learn.
The last 2 generations of Garmin watches support streaming by Spotify. I'm kind of stunned that Apple doesn't support this.
Find a mission you believe in and use your tech skills to help achieve it.

Warning: this might mean fighting bureaucracy, older tech stacks, lack of resources, etc but that is what you are there to solve!

Everybody needs help.

I’d also second other comments: use the downtime / boredom at your current job to your advantage. Only spend as much time as necessary there, focus on yourself - whether that’s wellness, side projects, vacations, etc. When you’re ready to figure out what’s next, make the move.
As I read it is about the interface we use to "code", about the more abstract concepts (eg: text files vs spreadsheets vs image based/direct manipulation environments).

"These reviews are for the makers of tools, those that are
pushing our computational interfaces forward. The goal of
the Whole Code Catalog is to provide inspiration for the tools you will one day create."

In such context, the classifications make sense to me.

>Reduce parking/make drivers pay for parking.

They did that. 2€ per hour. One of the reasons I don't have a car. But I would rather walk two hours to the office and two hours back before I go by tram / public transport. There are many reasons/problems but one is: it is overcrowded and I don't like people. I go by bike or ebike instead.
Start getting some data in front of your face and start looking at it.

Really look at it... pore over it... think it... be it... once you start dreaming about price and volume data, you'll know you're on the right track...

...until you think you might notice an edge or something somewhere... then write unit tests to see if that hunch about the pattern your monkey brain thinks it saw is actually consistently profitable.

Then you do all of the real work that is implementing the actual trade execution engine. (Yes, I just yada yada'd over months of work)

That's how I went about it at least and it's working out great so far!

Good luck!
I understand what you're getting at here I tbink, but one of the ecosystem challenges we run into is that while Rust is abstractly a fantastic choice for the domain of systems development that would often be served by Ada (in fact we think it's a lot better in some respects because we can do more statically ahead of time, that Ada does dynamically at runtime, by abusing the Rust type system and borrow-checker), the Rust ecosystem isn't really focused on this class of problems.

There's significantly more attention provided to things like Wasm than there is to things like embedded use cases for example.

The two languages, ecosystems, and communities seem to have largely non-overlapping objectives despite having overlapping technical capabilities.
I think polling national was lower than expected. Now we see him attach his name to the latest issue. Maybe he is hoping for a vp invite.

I'm starting to wish I went to school solely for the potential to get into research if I wanted. Unfortunately, although it seems like it would be more interesting and fulfilling, it also seems like financial suicide.

> you can try working in a very different kind of programming.

On that note, how do you manage to work in X when all your years of experience are in Y? I'd love to try different things, but I just don't know how to pivot
What do people do with data from their sleep trackers? I tracked my sleep for years with a Fitbit and now I track it with an Oura ring. I look at the results occasionally, but it has never provided any useful information.

Is there something I'm not aware of?
Online retailers have been moving towards lower percentages for years. I started with a massive 30% (around 4 years ago) when I switched and I'm down to 1.5% because I believe there are some good benefits, similar to caffeine.
Maybe you can "push back" and get out of additional work. But when it's that time of year for raises or promotions, who do you think is going to be the first in line?
>And we are awful, generally speaking.

Typical liberal nonsense. We are generally not awful, please speak for yourself. You may be a terrible person, and judging by the post I can safely see that is indeed true, but please don't project your shittyness onto everyone else around you.
A good Q.

You can steal the voice of somebody like Lester Holt or Tanaka Rie with about 20 hours of audio where you manually splice segments to compose sound. Sometimes you can lift a sentence, sometimes you compose paired phonemes. It is a lot of work, but it has been possible long before deepfakes.

No matter what you will need to listen to the voice and give feedback, pro narrators have directors just as actors do and it is what makes them sound so good.
Agreed, pocket-sized phone is crucial, unless I should be buying JNCO jeans (but I thought that trend died away).
He's bought the new model each year, until this year.
I feel like it has something to do with electromagnets. Perhaps the charging magnet is only magnetic when electrified? Does that even make sense?
Even if an organized adversary can reliably control whatever infrastructure they choose, it's still being institutionally treated as an unknown - otherwise it would be fixed.

I basically agree with everything you've written here, but saying it already "gave away" basically means giving up. Whereas this "cyberwar" meme is a call to action, and so I think it bears repeating that on the technical side the problems are extremely straightforward. Rather the real problems are organizational/institutional, and that's where blame needs to be directed - so that the call to action doesn't lead to further obtuse top-down measures like more procedure-bound certification-based consultants or a national firewall.

Worthwhile top-down things that could be done would be say a national bug bounty on any critical infrastructure (and indemnification for any incidental damaged "caused" by researchers, rightfully assigning it to plant operators instead), or perhaps even a wholesale repeal of the CFAA to stop papering over the fundamental nature of the Internet being hostile noise. Stop discouraging 12 year olds from playing around with infrastructure for the lulz, and make administrators have to deal with reality rather than continuing to ignore it.
Good luck with finding satisfying work and relationship! I think many of us have been in a similar situation, being young and struggling to find one's place in society.

As someone once told me, "The best way to learn is by doing" - reading, writing, working, loving. :)

Also, I guess I must be getting older to be saying this, but please remember to enjoy your youth, being alive is an amazing gift - even if one has to go it alone sometimes.
Mostly, I hope they bring TouchID back, preferably via a scanner on the back of the phone.

Outside of providing a bigger screen, FaceID is strictly worse:

- When I pulled my old iPhone out of my pocket, I would have my finger on the scanner and it would be unlocked before it reached my face. With FaceID on the iPhone X, I have to wait a few seconds.

- If you wake up and you're squinting as you look at your phone, FaceID won't work

- If you're wearing a hat and sunglasses, FaceID might not work

- If you're doing something else but you want to unlock your phone on the side in preparation for your next task, you have to stop and look at the phone
US Workers have unemployment checks, food stamps, and Medicaid. No one is hitting $0 / month unless you're out of a job for over 6-months (when some unemployment benefits run out).

If a lot of people are unemployed for over 6 months unemployment benefits can often be extended by the legislature.
Watchos 6 added streaming audio for apps. So, Spotify will hopefully add it.

I think certain types of engineers and a few other majors can approach college costs differently, because they know well-paying jobs will be available to them on the other side. These programs also tend to be highly competitive -- for instance, undergraduate nursing at UMass, UConn, and some of the other schools we toured have thousands of applicants for 100 or 200 slots, and can be very selective.
Quick PSA: You can do this yourself on cloudflare. I've got a sub-domain of my web site, "localhost.my.site". That resolves to localhost. I also added a wildcard, "*.localhost.my.site", which also resolves to localhost. It's pretty easy to do, and a handy trick. I figure some one probably turned this into a blog post, but this way you don't have to rely on some one else's stuff going down. I also use it for my local domain, cause I don't want to bother running a local DNS server.
Not sure. It rarely breaks 30 here (Bay Area) and when it does I stay inside mostly. :)
I agree, but if you observe the nature of conversation on the matter, even intelligent people seem to hold the belief that it is literally not possible (without destroying themselves) for countries to exist independently and trade/cooperate with each other, even though that is essentially the very model we've operated on for essentially all of modern history. There is way too much delusional thinking going on.

My daughter has 64GB version and she often struggles with insufficient storage. And she doesn't really have much media, just a bunch of games and apps.
I feel like phones have more or less evolved to a point where there’s nothing more to add.

Over the coming year in think the watch/phone/slate/laptop ecosystem will be replaced by one or perhaps two devices that will dock into larger screens and input devices as needed.
I don't.

I have stints of high motivation and stints of low motivation.

The trick is to be productive without being passionate about programming. "Choose a job you love and you will never have to work a day in your life" is a toxic mentality, and it's okay for work to just be work (sometimes or even all the time!).
