Force press to select a word is still faster that long press by an order of magnitude. Same for the new context menus and keyboard cursor movement.

Second force press to extend selection is much faster and more precise than picking the small markers.

it’s more like force touch is made more consistent overall and blends in instead of being a showcase feature confusingly entirely separate of long press.

I use it even more than before, and still miss it on my iPad. Together with the disappearance of fingerprint unlocking, seeing it disappear is one more factor for me not to upgrade beyond iPhone 8.

Don’t get me wrong, there are compelling reasons to upgrade for me (bigger screen, photography) but for my usage it feels like a significant enough compromise at that price point.
The burden of proof would be on Uber and Lyft to show: (B) The person performs work that is outside the usual course of the hiring entity’s business.

This would be a hard sell because Uber and Lyft are in the business of providing transportation to people. They may argue that they're only providing the platform that enables drivers to provide rides, but considering the amount of evidence that says otherwise, I'd like to see their lawyer making that argument with a straight face.

I think we can all agree, that happy people of Instagram are very very sad. Else they will be busy being happy not hunting likes.

Marques doesn't have kids.

I loved my Redmi Note 4. I even liked the chin, as the buttons were on it - so my usable screen size was actually larger than the Pixel XL that replaced it.

That phone took perfectly acceptable shots with still subjects that I'd have been happy to live with but the shutter lag was terrible. I have six months of mostly blurry photos of my kids solely because the phone couldn't deal with any amount of fast motion so it had to go.

Recently upgraded to a Pixel 3a solely because of Night Sight and for my use case it was a no-brainer as I can't get the time back. I also couldn't give a rats behind about notches and bumps - my phones go straight into bumper cases and 9-glass before they're turned on.

Feel free to argue otherwise, but I think GIMP's relevance has waned over the years, which is why I speak in that "past tense" you take issue with. For what it's worth I think Krita has worth in the domain of photo manipulation as well.

Krita also has automation utilities:

https://docs.krita.org/en/user_manual/python_scripting/intro...

I'm curious how you use GIMP and whether or not Krita would prove usable for you, i.e. if there's some critical specific functionality GIMP excels at where Krita falls behind.

The equal and opposite problem is managers who don't understand the sunk cost fallacy and refuse to throw out home grown solutions. Sometimes there might have been a good idea to homebrew a thing years ago because nothing good existed. Now several better solutions exist but the company refuses to adopt them because doing so would mean "throwing away" years of work, and the managers who signed off on that work are afraid they'll look bad.

This simply means that it was a crappy test. As far as I remember, people choose a colour profile that was much more punchy.

Cameras are much, much more than a colour profile. These tech reviewers are fun to watch but I wouldn't base my opinions solely on their work.
Never used Apple Watch, my GF had v3 for a long time. I ordered a Withings sport a while back and when she saw that it tracks pretty much the same stuff, has notifications and doesn't need to be charged for 20+ days she got one in a week. I remember a couple of instances where she would forget to charge it and didn't have the charging cable with her - probably less of an issue with newer models and wireless charging, but anyway she said it was annoying to keep track of another battery.

People are saying "charge it during showers" - IMO that's just too much inconvenience for no benefit - I shower in the gym - do I go and charge it then ? Or when I'm tired and want to go to bed - another thing I can easily forget. I like the idea of a smartwatch - would be nice to have a better screen and more rich interface than my Withings - but sub 3-4 days battery is a no-go for me. I've seen some smartwatches that fit that criteria tho - so will need to do some shopping around and see the tradeoffs
Incorporating HK isn't going well so far though, is it? The future isn't written. A few weeks ago, it was inconceivable that the extradition bill will be withdrawn.

>some low latency twitter API that you can pay big money to access

Yes. The twitter firehose is the big one, where you get a stream of _all_ tweets. Twitter doesn't publish the price, and one source claims $360k/y for half of the hose. https://econsultancy.com/want-your-own-twitter-firehose-you-...

>And then I guess that goes to some array of GPUs to run the NLP model as quickly as possible?

General speaking, trained models usually aren't so big that you need a cluster of GPUs, or even a single one. Sometimes running it on a CPU makes more sense because if it's small enough it's just easier and cheaper.

In particular, basic NLP and sentiment analysis is pretty easy, especially like in this case when you're dealing with a very limited vocabulary. A free CPU based library like https://github.com/cjhutto/vaderSentiment should be good enough.

> And the NLP results get traded on by placing orders with an exchange?

Yes. Doing this quickly is pretty tricky, but financial institutions like JPMorgan Chase would have access to an extremely fast and low cost (per trade) API to do this. And then they probably already have the tech to strategically place big orders, so the other bots don't realise what you're doing. Or just use a private exchange, aka a dark pool: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dark_pool

Meh. The Media Lab is (or was) doing some of the best work in the field in food and flavor science. Arielle Johnson [1] in particular is known for her work and expertise on flavor and fermentation, and she went on to lead R&D at Noma's science bunker [2] and now has her own lab in East Village [3]. She's probably has had an outsized impact on the food world in the last decade or so on stuff like fermentation, which is gradually making its way beyond just fine dining and is something that I'm particularly excited about.

I basically came here to say the same, regarding the FET: Most likely there are parts with the same form factor but much lower resistance (both switching and fully on), which don't have that problem. The price-difference might matter in mass production, but for a repair at home, I don't see a reason to go with a cheap part.

Decreasing the turn on/off time might also be a good idea to prevent future repairs (nice spot!).

I work for one of the gig economy companies, my opinion is that this is a short term good thing for workers, bad thing for gig companies. But long term, this doesn't matter, as it simply reduces profitability of every company, and creates more incentives to automate, especially if unions start raising cost further.

I don't know the best long term solution is for gig workers, maybe Andrew Yang's freedom dividend will become more appealing.

No idea, the developer said he was told they were violating the terms of the Spotify API agreement by using non-standard hardware. The only thing I can think of is Spotify had/has one of their own lined up and haven't released it.

I assume this is all tied up with their campaign about unfair treatment on the App Store, but it still makes little sense to me. Apollo was written by a single developer in their spare time, it works (although not perfectly - still good given it's a 1.0 and they were working alone with no support) and has been released for almost a year.

> Smartphone hardware is done. There's no significant gain in buying a new smartphone if you have bought one in last 3 years

Agreed. Even a Xiaomi Mi A2 with Android One for 130-150€ is almost on par with these high end phones that cost eight times as much: It's fast enough. It has a gorgeous display. It has a decent camera and it has up-to-date software.
In these times of diminishing returns it's amazing that Apple is able to fetch these prices. It shows us how much of a vendor lockin there is. Perhaps (hopefully) also how much people are willing to pay extra for more privacy.

Besides being a software engineer I have a custom motorcycle shop. We use Instagram/Facebook and also my personal account gets more updates since I have the shop. If I wouldn't have a business that uses these platforms as lead generation I wouldn't' be using them either.

Between these two Instagram sucks. People just scroll through it and don't interact that much. Mostly other Instagram channels re-use motorcycle builds from the actual builders without attributing. They are more popular as it's easy to follow them as they post builds daily and people need their fix.

Our facebook is growing fast and interactions grow on it too. As platform its a bit better and people coming to our shop most of the times know us from facebook.
Maybe so, but it will be easier in the future to change 1 coal powered plant and have millions of electric car driving people overnight become "clean" vs still having to change the coal plant and then convince millions of people to switch to electric cars because they are now finally green to the core.

https://frontiermyanmar.net/en/features/battle-of-the-fonts (mentioned in the article being discussed) is much clearer.

Short version: in Burmese, the form a character takes depends on context. Zawgyi ‘solves’ that by having separate code points for the different forms, requiring the user to pick the right variant. The Unicode way is to make the font and the (font + font renderer) pair smarter, just as Unicode renders “é” instead of the two code points “e’”.

Zawgyi also, necessarily, uses Unicode code points assigned for other characters to encode the variants.

It's not really relevant what Socrate's actual cannon was.

The philosophic Socrates is what Plato made.

A few others (Xenophon etc) also wrote of Socrates, but the philosopher Socrates is 99% Plato's writings.

It's like the question of whether X or Y was the real Shakespeare.

Even if so, the only thing we care about Shakespeare is his plays, and those don't change if the real name of the person who wrote them was another (Borges makes that point somewhere, iirc -- actually Shakespeare himself makes it too: "A rose by any other name would smell as sweet").

"Socrates" people read / care about for 2 millennia -> what Plato wrote.

"Shakespeare" people read / watch / care about for several centuries -> the plays and poems themselves
You still avoid local pollution, noise and overall CO2 emissions are all lower pretty much anywhere in the world. In addition to this, a larger amount of electric cars that can work as storage can help greatly to increase the share of renewables (e.g. by offering lower prices at times of overcapacity).

It's a hen-egg problem. You need large storage capacity to enable renewables. But without renewables, storage isn't utilized and therefore not profitable.
> That is true, but I found that in more strict languages you have a bit of a slower ramp-up, but the time you save later before production in bugs you don't have could be used to take more looks at the spec and better simulations.

In many of these large companies in avionics (and not just avionics), the people writing the specs are not the same as the people writing the code. There is no trade-off between how much time it takes to write the code and how much time it takes to draft and review the specs.

Edit:

> On average if your language fails hard like ADA it's also more likely to find these bugs in simulations and tests.

That is definitely ture, but it's important to keep two things in mind:

1. The possibility of a hard failure from your runtime is something that you need to be aware of at design time. As seen in the case that the parent comment mentioned, there are cases when a hard failure on a non-critical error is actually worse than allowing the error to occur.

2. More important, if it's hard failures that expose bugs during tests, the first thing you have to fix, even before you fix the code, is the test cases themselves. A hard failure during testing is an indication that the test cases you have don't cover a given situation and, more importantly, that your system can't even handle that situation.

There are always going to be error conditions you can't recover from, and if they're in critical systems, you work around that (e.g. through redundancy). But a runtime that gives you a hard failure is rarely useful by itself.

Well, I tend to see it like opioids, for example. Some people can just use their prescribed dosage and in the end they have no addiction whatsoever. Many more, even though they use their prescribed dosage, start an addiction which can lead to their lives getting ruined.
