> They've probably kept the "long press action" for compat reasons?

I'm not sure what you mean. From what I can tell, they're introducing the long press action all over the OS, to replace Peek and Pop with "context menus". https://developer.apple.com/design/human-interface-guideline...

Previously, they had the long press action in just a few spots for non-3D Touch phones (like on Control Center icons on the iPhone XR).

I've been on the iOS 13 beta for a while now and I vastly prefer the new context menus (although on my iPhone X I can trigger the context menu with either a long press or 3D Touch).
"Out for good" is weird here. I interviewed with them more than a decade ago. They'd still consider that "signal"?
In 2040 there will be 60 cameras on the back of the phone! Or they'll break off the camera into a separate device: the iCamera and iCamera Pro! And now we've come full circle.
>I've found the "out of the box one stop auth" packages rarely deliver the experience that product managers / UX people have planned for.

I’d love to see more pushback from devs on this. So many products nowadays provide an “experience” for auth which makes things unnecessarily difficult. Not showing login and password fields on a single page, ambiguous 3rd party auth rules, weird account linking logic, etc.
The firewall or proxy is probably looking at the HTTP host header, and blocking requests with an IP there.
I've certainly noticed that most people speak on auto-pilot, basically just repeating what they've heard or read. I wonder if just a few % of people are actually generally intelligent and everyone else is following along. Or is it just a random process, in which we are just repeating each other and making mistakes leads to new ideas.
Han shooting first is totally legitimate. Greedo is an organized crime thug who is going to take Han to an incredibly painful and certain death. It's self-defense even if he shot first.

Those are requirements, not bans.
This sounds perfectly on-brand with respect to how we do business in the government.

The government has an extreme aversion to encouraging competing approaches or internal competition - largely because of budget concerns around double-work - which drives this behavior.
No, it assumes that when a driver can no longer make ends meet since they are paying more in maintenance than they are earning, they will no longer have money for gas to be an Uber driver, thus quitting.
Does the Apple Watch do native sleep tracking or do you need a 3rd-party app?

Ask HN: What active/maintained dev (free or $$$) websites/blogs do you visit?
I've a small list I really like:

InfoQ,
Lambda the Ultimate,
DZone,
LWN,
Phoronix

and blog wise I like Martin Fowler's agile/architecture blog.

Would you mind posting as response your favorite, go-to/bookmarked developer websites? FP, OO, embedded, I don't care, as long as they have good discussion, not a lot of noise, and I don't care if they are free or require subscription either.
Exactly this. I have divorced parents who each remarried.

I have a mother who makes so much effort to make sure she stays in our lives. Calling/Facetiming every week at minimum. And she has visited at least once or twice a year the past five years. And we visit at least once a year if possible.

By contrast, I have a father who has literally done nothing to try to visit us in five years. It was always us making the effort, taking time and money away from ourselves, for them. And we got very little in return. We have been given very little respect by them despite showering them with undeserved respect. Every time we visit, it's like they're acting out their own Seinfeld episode -- literally worth nothing except waiting for the next opportune moment to be sarcastic "gotcha" asshats.

Some people would say, one shouldn't look for a return, that it should be all about giving. Those people must never have been burned in their lives. For me, reciprocation is the bedrock of a relationship. Any relationship. It doesn't have to always be equitable, but time and effort must be shown. Otherwise, I'm out.

Ask HN: How could a local face recognition system for a health club go wrong?
I am wary of facial recognition systems when implemented by big governments, big corporations, etc...

But I have a unique use case which would make checking into my local yoga studio so much better.

Instead of lining up to have a front desk staff member who doesn't know your name or face double check that you have enough credits left to attend a yoga class...

Imagine if you could just walk through the door, with a screen saying "Hi flyGuyOnTheSly, you have 5 classes remaining after you use this one!" and you could just walk into class.

The only angle I can think of for this kind of system going wrong would be if the "small yoga studio" grew into a "big yoga studio" or "big something else" and continued to implement and grow their facial recognition data.

But other than that, any concerns you might have would be appreciated.

Thanks for reading.
You're completely ignoring the most important data. Han Solo and Darth Vader are not the same person. Maybe one is just more likable than the other?

You can have two different comedians tell identical jokes, word for word, and only one of them will be funny. Jim Jefferies does an entire bit about a journalist who reviews his jokes harshly after transcribing them to text. His conclusion is (paraphrasing) "my entire job is to say offensive things while still being likable."
If you live in a place where you can be selective with who you work for, I think this is the right approach.
Honestly, all I want is something that I can put on charge once during the day, for 30 minutes while showering, and have it last until the following nights shower. I want it to track sleep, and monitor health. That's it at least. My Fitbit Versa works perfectly for this, and hey, it has a bonus that if I forget to charge it one night or over a weekend, it still lasts! No interrupted heartrate monitoring or sleep tracking.

I was really hoping Apple would step up their Apple Watch game this year, with a longer battery and native sleep tracking -- that's all I want. Personally, I don't really care about being able to answer calls from a watch when I have my phone on me 24/7. Time to wait another year I guess and keep using my Versa :-)
Organizations aren't truly flat, ever. This has been consistently debunked as a myth. If the hierarchy is not explicit, it forms implicitly through cliques and personal relationships.

I think you've hit an important point though, because in flat organizations, there are no rules preventing the strong and ruthless from seizing power and catering everything to their whim, including giving themselves bonuses or arbitrary privileges. Many modern tech companies are structured in this manner. The need to have a "collaborative style of work" may be the fantasy the executives feed workers to blind them from the power grab behind their backs.
I've never had a nonstick pan last more than 2 years at the most. They were the good Tefal pans, and I only ever used wood and plastic utensils in them. Even cleaning them by hand, they would lose their slippery nature and eventually the coating started flaking off.

In contrast, my carbon steel pan was less expensive, has so far held up to over a decade of use and is nonstick enough that any difference is negligible.

The only thing it can't do well is simmering acidic sauces, but for those I've got stainless steel pots and an enameled cast iron pan.
I use the Garmin Forerunner 945 that has this functionality now too.
You also can’t take video or pictures at the resolution of the newer iPhones - requiring more storage.
There are no "non-js things" going on. I'll grant that they're doing some out of the ordinary things in order to support hooks and suspense, but it's still just JavaScript.

Edit: If you want to see how hooks are implemented without needing to understand the React codebase, Kyle Simpson has a project that provides hooks for non-React functions, the implementation is all in one file: https://github.com/getify/TNG-Hooks/blob/master/src/tng-hook...

In the recent book about Uber written by Mike Isaac,the author stated that Lyft was the first to launch a low cost ride service with non professional drivers and Uber rushed to copy them.
Many of the 'programmers' of those days lacked the sophistication and education to appreciate Ada.

Just the mojo required to print an integer (having to instantiate a generic) was considered complicated

Ada was also very slow to compile, on the order of 10 times slower than Jovial. (my experiences)

Avionics systems back then were tiny. Jovial usually ran on a 16 bit processor.

Ada enabled a certain maturity and correctness to the avionics domain.

If you're not aware of that, it is very tempting to use `useRef`, which is what I have often seen. Before hooks, we did not have the temptingly-named footgun `useRef` for this scenario (although we did have other footguns for other scenarios, and overall I love hooks).

Going further with the idea it could be possible to make an antenna from ionized air.

As it turns out someone already patented "Antenna of ionized air": https://patents.google.com/patent/US2760055 The patent expired in 1973.
Human perceived brightness is something like a logarithmic function of the power used to make the light. When you see most of the watch face go almost dark and the important bits being "half brightness", that could be operating at <5% of the normal power. The new fancy display only needs to be refreshed once per second which lets all the switching electronics go to sleep. What that all adds up to is the always on time taking very little power and turning it off will not gain you much run time.
Don't forget "Beta" on the end.

Heartbreaking to read and every parent's worst nightmare. Life has become so fast and everyone works too much these days. Growing up in India, I remember my parents (who had challenging jobs as a math prof and doctor) still spent all evening and all weekends with us and my one surviving grandparent also lived with us. Cousins came by every week and there was so much family around. Now, here we are with all this money in a giant house in this expensive place, working 60-70 hours a week and I wonder if I'm doing right by my kids. Need to spend more time with them..
I suppose they could protest a 64GB pro version or they could buy a bigger one. I guess we all pick our battles.
I always thought I'd be bothered by a notch, but when my old phone eventually gave up the ghost I saw a great deal for a Huawei phone with a notch, and I immediately got used to the design. I expected to need at least a few days to acclimatize myself, but it was instant, weirdly enough. Now Now it never even enters my mind until I hear someone talking, or see comments, about notches in phones.
This feature has caused a lot of false positive emergency calls for people skiing/snowboarding, where a fall is often harmless but triggers this countdown due to the speeds involved. [1]

Folks stash their devices away under warm clothing and end up not noticing the countdown or reaching their device in time. Be careful with it if you are involved in high velocity sports.

There are several more instances of Google promoting their own services above the SERP (and competitors).

1. Shopping. Google got in big trouble with the EU about this recently.

2. Job listings. Google launched a jobs product and promoted it above the SERP, damaging Glassdoor / Indeed etc.

Providing the largest source of traffic (via google search) and competing in industries that depend on that traffic is an inherent conflict of interest.
> The impetus that led to Ada came from management and implementation was done by academics.

Impression of mine back then was academics were busy designing their perfect languages to do data transformation while ignoring real world engineering needs and that not everyone had an unlimited account on the schools big iron mainframe.
iPhone SE refurb is $80 on ebay and will last forever if you don't use it as a camera or gaming device.
It's an energy problem. Take the average mental energy level and divide it up among all the facets of daily life. Most of that is probably going to go into working, eating, relaxing. Developing original opinions in every single field isn't realistic, so we'll find someone with authority and repeat what they said.
18 hours has been their standard "all day" battery life since Series 3 came out.

Here's the thing: My Series 3 easily lasts me 2 days without using it for things like exercise, bluetooth audio, etc. With exercise it lasts all day. I have never run out of power unless I didn't charge it the previous evening and had multiple exercise sessions on the same charge. This is way better than my Series 0 did.

So the 18 hours is really a lot more than 18 hours for most people.

My question now, is: Will my battery life really only be 18 hours with this always-on display?
You are arguing with something that the article did not say. The substring "logo" does not occur in the article. The article makes no claim about what the Han script encodes beyond implying that the Han script isn't alphabetic, which shouldn't be controversial.
Pro photographers that make bank by being instagram influencers will be all over the iPhone Pro. This will completely upend the vlogging industry too.

I vlog with a DSLR and even with an iPhone X most people can’t tell when I use footage from that (running with a dslr is hard, for example). iPhone Pro likely makes better video than my T6i Rebel in many situations. Depth of field is usually where DSLRs shine

Unless you have one the early Blackberries. :) Not sure if they still function though.
To clarify: In order to maintain app compatibility with this ill-advised HW feature that they are now abandoning, they will need to do something. I'm guessing they'll probably translate long press events into force touch events for third party apps. Do you have better intel?
With the release of the Note 10 and Note 10+ you can take "audio jack" off the list.
I don't think it will ever happen if I'm honest. Would take away from iPhone sales.
You are totally correct. US, France, Japan and UK all decided to extend the filetime of their nuclear power plants.

Wind is cheap because when the wind blows, everybody is trying to sell their wind produced energy at the same time and the country often overproduces. In Germany, we even see negative prices when the wind blows; The price is low not because it does not cost a lot, but because it is heavily subsidized (wind is 60% of subsidies in Germany, for only 18% of the production) and needs to sell fast otherwise the fines and costs for overloading the network are massive.

It's too bad that Node.JS is mostly used as a scaffolding and glue language for web frameworks, while where it really shines is as a replacement for a systems language. You sacrifice 4x performance to get better safety, less development time, easier code, easier deployment, and a more open and friendly ecosystem.

According to Glassdoor, an SRE position at Google in SF averages $136k/yr.

$103k is the low end. $153K is high end.

350k-500k/year is not a typical salary at all, and only a tiny fraction of people would be able to manage to land a position that pays so well.

A talented developer could manage to make 200k-300k with the right experience.
PA will probably command even higher salaries than SF though.
You become a manager of your kids, not a parent. The quantity time is when you’re there to emotionally engage with them. If you only show up during quality time, you’re teaching them that it’s only during big moments that life matters.
I feel like the only one who thinks the Xs size is perfect compared to the SE. If you polled everyone online they just want the SE.
React Hooks and Containerizing Everything are the things this old "Webmaster" is kicking down the road until all the bugs are shaken out. I also skipped gulp and grunt and jumped straight into webpack, which I've read far too much about to understand so little.
I mean Google and Facebook want the option to prevent their engineers from building something that may compete with it n the ad space. Rest and vest right? Uber competitors would need to do something in the delivery, leasing, transportation and ride sharing space to be specific threats. Maybe ride share could be disrupted with a peer to peer model. I always thought that the carpools across the bay bridge where interesting. That's basically self organized and very effective.

Anyone know if the new iPhones will be using Intel or Qualcomm for their wireless? I've had some issues with the iPhone XS where it shows full coverage but data stops transmitting intermittently.
Yeah same thing for me. The battery time is the deal breaker.

I use my Xiaomi Mi Band with about 10 days battery time even when using sleep tracker and heart rate tracker every minute 24/7. It costs less then 10% of the Apple Watch as well.
All companies that are Uber's size will have pay scales depending on location.
I was logging on here to call out that quote specifically. My kids are both in college now, and we're empty nesters for the first time as of a week ago.

Wg-quick from the same project as Wireguard supports pre/post-up/down Hooks. You should be able to very easily write a post-up hook that read the rules from the server and a pre-down one that delete them.

Since your are connected to the server using Wireguard, you don't need to check its identity you can just open the correct port, read the rules and apply them, a simple Python or Perl script should be able to do what you want.

Just yesterday I was stopped at the airport and security asked me that phone is so small is this new? I had to respond "no its an old iphone". I have been repeatedly made fun of using a tiny phone while whenever somebody makes this comment back in my mind I think the jokes on you.

Can't agree more with the sentiment here, great minds do think alike ;)
> Saying they're ~ "culling the low performers" can be entirely true

Even if it isn't they have just branded everybody with 'Uber' on their CV that is on the market a low performer. Think before you speak.
Have you tried to use the Android app? I have programmed Android for five years and I can confidently say that the Uber Android app is a disaster. Both usability and bugs.

On the database side, there's a place in my city that has some permanent bad data in the db so that it won't allow anyone to get picked up or taken there. I go there frequently by Uber and have to set the pin a few blocks away from the corrupted area then explain to the driver where I am or where I am going. It's like there's a ghost car attached to that place because every time I try to get a ride from there, it says it's finding me a ride, followed by an error message that the driver is unavailable. Had a painful back-and-forth with support about this and of course nothing every got done.

While the Android app is of poor quality and no one is rushing to fix it, Uber engineers are busy putting out open source software and plenty of it. Talk about resource mismanagement!
