Not the parent, but here's one that I hit recently:

I hoisted the state of an input box up a few layers because other parts of my app are affected by the current typed content. Since I'd been careless passing closures in as props to expensive components, they were getting re-rendered on every keystroke. It was noticeably sluggish.
And don’t forget that a new iPhone with the size of an SE but design of the X would have a display size of around the iPhone 6/7/8 and make those phones entirely obsolete yet being smaller.
Yes. The problem is assuming the only thing that matters with the fourier transform is the DFT. Point #1 is incorrect. Sometimes sampling theorems are misleading (not incorrect). There are cases where it is highly advantageous compute a continuous fourier transform without a DFT.
I think this is Google's attempt to break into EHR, where Epic Systems is a leader, but has years more experience in maintaining confidential information.

But you're right, Google is a marketing, search, and advertising GIANT. Even if they stay HIPAA compliant, I would want to see more deliberate separation of interest.
According to rumors, the 2020 iPhone Pro will be reduced from 5.8" to 5.4", which could look like this (size comparison including SE): https://blogs.forbes.com/gordonkelly/files/2019/06/New-iPhon...

However that size would still be significantly wider horizontally than the SE, pretty much as wide as the 6/7/8 (which I found too wide for comfortable one-handed use).

In addition, they would probably keep the on/off button on the side instead of relocating it back to the top. The latter would be my preference, also for consistency with the iPads. When I owned both an iPhone 6 and an iPad mini, my muscle memory couldn't quite get used to the inconsistency of the on/off button location.
It’s amazing how controversial Marx is 150 years later, and I’ve only ever met one actual “authority” on the matter outside Marx’s actual writings. (And I’m in economics!)

Makes me think there’s something very lasting about his ideas, moral interpretations aside.

There's always someone who brings this up whenever Ada is mentioned, as if it serves as a damning refutation of Ada's reputation as a safe language.
That bug was caused by a series of design failures if anything, rather than software bugs. From memory, they reused the inertial reference system from the Ariane 4 mission without testing its suitability for a different delivery vehicle. The actual 'bug' was caused by an integer overflow occurring due to the velocity variable not being wide enough to handle the higher horizontal velocities of the newer rocket. This caused the rocket to go off course and require termination. The backup computers had the exact same flaw due to having the same programming.
I'm guessing they used Ada's modular integer types, which wrap around when they overflow. This is the same as C, and I'm guessing the same as Rust. Using either of those languages wouldn't have helped in the slightest here. It's not some software bug caused by Ada. It was a domain issue caused by a failure in management and testing.
Why were those things notably absent in the US revolution?
So powered parking meters? Seems viable at least for cities. You'd also have a substantial amount of parking without those because most drivers wouldn't need to charge daily.
Anyone know of a similar card on offer for Australian startup founders?

I see a plethora of these types of cards hitting the market lately, but nearly all for the US market only (understandably, given the strict banking rules in each country).
It doesn't - the leaf is s thoroughly modern vehicle with all of the safety and comfort that implies, whereas this is not.
Same in Slovenia, yeah. Call, wait 15 minutes, cab shows up... or not. Again, Uber / Smart Phone tech improves on that, at least they tell you immediately if the driver cancels. (Admittedly, in the old days, the drivers didn't actually cancel, just gave up when they couldn't find your house or you weren't waiting outside at the very right moment... still Uber solves that, mostly.)
Even during the American Revolution, there were instances of loyalists being abused, sometimes even lynched, socially ostracized, and generally made to feel unwelcome. Many ended up fleeing to Canada. In fact, the very term 'lynch' likely comes from the name of an American revolutionary who organized anti-loyalist action: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_Lynch_(judge)

That said, it's still a far cry from the scale and severity of violence seen in various later revolutions.
Interesting. I've never heard anything about camera bumps having any effect on durability. Why would this be the case?
iPhones at this stage feel like cameras first and the rest is standard. I’m also on a 7 Plus. This iteration feels far enough ahead of mine to be worth considering.

The only other update I want is more battery life. They’re thin enough; make them a third thicker with all of that used for battery. Or just thicker so the new camera is flush against the back casing.
GNAT Community version does not offer support for old versions of Ada, GNAT Pro does, but at the same time GCC's Ada (gcc-ada is the package for Arch Linux, for example) supports all versions of Ada. Funny that. I cannot say I am completely happy with the way they are trying to get money.

It's an iPhone backup, of course it's a "walled garden". It works really well, maybe you haven't used it in years. I can literally throw my phone into the ocean, walk into an Apple Store and within a short time be right back to where I was. About the only things that get lost are Face ID and Apple Pay, which don't last through any backup because the Secure Element is one way.
Except that all communist countries as implemented not only started with revolution but follow a doctrine of the permanent revolution. Which is how they can be sixty or seventy years on and talking about the danger of counter-revolutionaries...
Just for the sake of it, no. For the sake of Apple continuing to have some differentiating feature to get people to line up to purchase in a way that keeps the iPhone trendy, yes. Otherwise it's just like any of the other 5000 smartphone models coming out each year, and then Apple's stock goes down.
“Seemingly”. Other forms of communism get swept up in the purges.

I'm pretty sure everyone on HN has gotten an email this week from uber-freight talking about their "HYPER growth!".

Have you tried out wire? I like it, but never used it in a work environment.
An iPhone with removable handlebars that can transform into a PSP (with paddles, buttons and joysticks) and play games of similar quality to the Switch. The handlebars should be wireless so I can play games with my friends. I should be able to use Apple TV or screen mirror to transfer the games to the TV or to a projector or wireless to any display really.

My friends with regular iPhones should be able to stream the games I’m playing if I give them permission, and if we’re in the same room we should be able to play party games easily with less resource intensive (ie score displays or trivia questions or whatever) able to be displayed on their devices. Or they should be able to use their iPhones as 3rd or 4th or ... Nth touch screen virtual controllers for multiplayer.

Because it’s a phone, it has a touchscreen for super fast data entry of my online accounts or whatever, 4G and awesome cameras, gyro and accelerometer as well.

Now you have my attention.
One step closer to the Metaverse, I suppose

Based on year 2018 numbers, Uber needs to grow their revenue by 9.3%, and reduce their expenses by 6% to book a 0.1B profit. Assuming an average employee expense of 230k per year, Uber letting go 435 puts them 6.66% on the way to profitable expense reduction.
It's a very compelling religion of the modern age. That doesn't mean it can't be wrong.
As others have mentioned, without an iPhone you can stream from Apple. Using and Apple Podcasts.

The AirPods are small and light in a pocket and the watch itself is light and designed for wearing comfort.
Wouldn't it have made more sense for them to redesign this year (kill the dreaded notch) and add 5G next year? That way they can capitalize on early adopters twice, not once.

Every single Uber driver I've ever asked does it as a full-time job

If we're polling for anecdata, my experience has been quite the opposite. But I suspect this is very dependent on what time you ride - in evenings, I often encountered people driving for a couple hours after work.
When I started in sales at IBM in 2004 this was the case. I had to put down a personal guarantee in order to be issued a corporate AMEX. I hated it, but it was a take it or forfeit the job deal.
I dont know if it would take ten thousand years or ten billion years for all the free oxygen in atmosphere, hydrosphere and lithosphere to be depleted. But all of it is here and maintained by the sum total of interconnected living things and it would all go without it.
I'm not particularly interested in limiting myself to using only the tools that large companies have deemed worthy.

There are plenty of tools out there that can get the job done at the scale that the vast majority of businesses operate in with lower operational and cognitive overhead than Kubernetes.
> Meanwhile the 11 gets 128, just not the Pro.

There are three tiers. On the 11, the tiers are 64, 128, 256. On the Pro the tiers are 64, 256, 512. If you want to make an entry level model at 64gb, a top tier at 512gb, and one tier in the middle, then that's a logical way to step things up.

> So you squeeze tons of consumers to take too little because they don't want to pay for a 5x jump when they need 2x, or squeeze them into doing just that and overpaying, or squeeze them into a cloud subscription. It's not matching the product to the needs in the way that they could.

But this logic works the other way: if you only have a 128gb entry level model, then you are forcing consumers who only need 64gb to buy more storage than they need.

So your real gripe is that there isn't a 128gb tier in between the 64gb and 256gb. But the price difference between those tiers is only $150. So the 128gb tier would be something like $50 or $100 less than the 256gb tier. If your huge problem is that you have to pay an extra 5-10% of purchase price because their storage tiers don't perfectly align with your needs, then maybe you're not the target audience.

And 128gb is not some magic number. What about people who only need 300gb? Why should they be forced to pay for 512gb when they only need an additional 50gb on top of the 256gb? Because you have to split things up somehow, that's why. Things just didn't get split in a way that is convenient for you.

Impossible Super Mario Level
i went through a very similar experience a year ago. its been hard looking to go back to work, in particular responding to the inevitable question of "what have you been doing the past year". if you respond truthfully, its so shocking the interviewer never knows how to process it, so almost immediately feels like the doors just close. i know these things dont happen every day, and they are existentially challenging to contemplate, but they do happen. if you're responsible for hiring, please remember that your candidates are first and foremost human beings. i wish the author luck when he is ready to begin the next chapter.
Said US citizen renounced his US citizenship and was not within the geographic territory of the US (including military bases, embassies, etc.).

Ergo, it is legally questionable that it was an extrajudicial killing of a US citizen and is more likely the legal killing of a non-state combatant not protected by the Geneva Convention.
Ah Personality Insights. In playing with it when it came out I noticed that when it printed out something that someone agreed with they thought it rocked, and when someone felt it characterized them incorrectly it was junk. This and "Sentiment Analysis" get too much hype and not enough close inspection.

One of the more interesting discussions around this was that actual personality tests have pretty carefully crafted questions that they then look at the response to in a measurable way. But you can't really crawl a forum and reliably match up "stimulus" and "response" so the results have so much noise in them as to be unreliable.
You guys should have some more content. It's not believable at the moment that it's anything more than the typical stuff I read about on the internet.

Think podcasts, long-form testimonials, what it's about, etc...
This seems like a really tough ask of any editors. Much less, editors of one of the most highly scrutinized companies out there.

> At this point the iPhone is basically a slab of glass. The are not many form factor changes to be made except the further shrinking of bezels and the notch.

You're thinking of that backwards, I think. You don't change the hardware first. You come up with some new software (an OS feature; a library) that requires hardware that isn't already in the phone, and then redesign the phone to fit that new hardware in there. Like with the face sensors, or the ML-model-running cores. The hardware is designed, certainly, but it's designed as an answer to a constraint-satisfaction problem (i.e. a checklist of everything the new model needs to have/do), and big changes in the offered solution only happen when there are big changes in the constraints.

That being said, Apple seems to be lacking, lately, in inventing (or acquiring!) the kind of software features that necessitate new hardware. They're not even first to the Night Mode thing, which would totally have been one of their type of differentiators just a few years ago. Have they lost some critical software-R&D talent or something?
It's almost as if it hasn't even been 50 years since people were last dying because of the evil extremist ideologies from the 1900s! Tens of millions dead in the last hundred years.
Someone has to make a business case to get the chargers on the street. There are questions like who owns the sidewalk, how to route sufficient power there, capital outlay for digging up the street and getting the charger there. All those costs and up and the revenue for a given charger is capped. People might pay a premium over the the cost of electricity, but how much? And they have to compete with free charging in many cases.
Compared to the US tech sector, the European one is a completely different beast.

To me it feels more like Europe doesn't have its own tech sector. The US and China both have many large tech companies with a market cap of $10B+. Whereas Europe has... Spotify and that's it?

There are still a lot of tech workers employed in Europe by the American companies, though.
I had an HTC One M8 and recall the reviews saying it "verged on being a phablet".

I'm sure that's all true.

There is something to be said for a language that was written to a spec from the beginning, however. That is a luxury that few languages today can claim; most language specs were written after the first version(s) of the language were implemented, and were written to match the implementation, not the other way around.

Writing the specification first makes for a much cleaner language, though not always the most comfortable, if you put any weight in your own opinions.

[I am speaking generally from here onwards and I am not looking for specific examples to the contrary. I know full well that there are exceptions to the generalizations below.]

Lots and lots of engineers today would (and do) express complete comfort in their daily drivers of C and C++, while producing buffer overflow bugs and use-after-free bugs all the while. Maybe it isn't in the best interest of the software landscape to let developers choose the languages they use...

We have, as a community, let our feeling that software development is an art dictate how we react and deal with new information; we overwhelmingly reject it. What we're doing now is so much more comfortable, and we feel like we know what we're doing with [language x] finally! Why would I want to overturn all that comfort?

Software development is not an art, it is a science, and we've been ignoring the science part of that as we refuse to abandon our favorite language(s) for things that could easily be proven to be better, if we would just do the testing to determine performance numbers, ease of bug introduction, ease of maintenance, and so on.

We call ourselves "software engineers" and we don't measure anything beyond the most rudimentary measurements. We DEFINITELY do not actively look to overturn our comfort in favor of finding a better language to use.
We don't try to improve anything the moment that might mean that we switch languages, no matter how significant the long term advantages could be. We don't even think about what the long term advantages could be; we're too busy telling ourselves that we are smart and that we can do it in whatever language we are comfortable with.
There are definitely international agreements and institutions in place to regulate and help avoid this exact situation. The ITU-R sets the rules and encourages int'l coordination between countries on spectrum. Borders are a big concern. I'm guessing the Mexican gov't didn't prioritize enforcement, and that they'd be getting diplomatic pressure from the US if the transmitter interfered with an existing US station (esp. if in a major market).
I’m interested to hear what part of my statement people seem to disagree with: this was largely the thesis of Homage to Catalonia. It was the point behind most of Orwell’s writing, he was an anarcho-syndicalist.
My average day and night load was the same so I went from 12 hours to 120 hours worth of batteries and then could get through the 5 day storm, but with batteries depleted so badly they were essentially damaged. Now we have about 150 hours worth of stored energy for our loads.

we added a wind turbine as well which was great since some of the rainy stormy days had lots of wind. I don't understand my original posts parent's comment about (geo) diversity not helping.
I'm afraid, "the global EV" will not even be an EV Kwid, too big, too heavy, too unmaintainable for poor people.

Highlights from Apple’s Keynote Event
Linux is actually half of our usage on PS Core[1], so it's a great question. A lot of folks use PowerShell inside of CI/CD pipelines, especially for cross-platform app development of .NET Core applications (having a single build/test/deploy script is often cited as vastly preferable to trying to maintain a split of .ps1/.cmd/.bat and .sh/.py/.rb).

But also, lots of folks prefer an object-oriented pipeline. Many of those folks (our primary use case for 10+ years has been IT management) are used to PowerShell on Windows and starting to learn or be exposed to other environments.

We've also got lots zsh-style optimizations in PSReadline. In some cases, we've got some catching up to do, but there's also lots of unique interactive optimizations hiding around[2].

It's also great for interactively exploring REST APIs and building scripts via that experimentation. Try running

Invoke-RestMethod [or irm] https://api.github.com/.

Store that as a variable:

$a = irm https://api.github.com

And then look at all the properties you can explore:

$a | Get-Member [or gm]
$a.<tab><tab><tab>

Oh, and of course, one of the big reasons is "so you don't have to open a Windows VM to remote into your Windows Server boxes and manage them from a Macbook".

This is obviously not an exhaustive list, but it'd take a lot more time to write about every benefit and scenario here. In any case, it turns out that our user base is pretty spread out among different scenarios, but between our repo and usage numbers, we've been really happy with how excited that such a diverse group of folks really love PowerShell.

And feel free to reach out to me on Twitter @joeyaiello if you ever want to talk more about your experience (or just hop into our GitHub repo). :)

I have a friend that does this. I think that this may conflict with Apple's goals around wearables, though. I suspect the company aims to determine life schedules and provide useful prompts through key portions of the day. Morning prep being one of them.

The watch needs to charge without taking it off the wrist--for example from using an Apple laptop or keyboard.
Were these actual concerns that were raised by the actual legal council of the company, or were they issues invented by engineers who are not lawyers but suffer from engineers disease and think that knowing to code means they are experts in everything else? 'Cause I know plenty of those!

I've worked in plenty of companies with engineers who think they are legal, privacy and security experts. If we made business decisions based on these folks, we'd never do anything. Hell, every damn text change we makes invokes a few who worry about the legal ramifications ("should we file a JIRA ticket with legal?").

Sadly without somebody stepping in, people actually listen to them instead of the actual experts employed by the company... thus you wind up wasting tons of engineering bandwidth building a feature / platform / product that has no business existing all (or worse, not building some feature / platform / product) because nobody bothered to check with the legal / privacy / security team that some concern by a engineer was actually a genuine concern.

And even then, in any good organization legal / privacy / security teams exist only to point out all the risks in any business decision... sometimes it is worth the risk despite what legal / privacy / security say. What appetite the company has for the risk depends on a lot of things that are well outside of legal/privacy/security.
While there is already variable pricing (Time-of-use) in some jurisdictions, I don't think that's what you're thinking of. "Transactive Energy" is more towards the concept of running the distribution system as a market akin to the transmission system. The company I work for has deployed a pilot program of this concept in New York. https://www.opusonesolutions.com/news/national-grid-launches...
I can sympathize with resistance to Ada in a sense: Big "enterprise-y" languages can feel unwieldy and cumbersome if you're used to bit-twiddling and struct-packing in something like C.

But as the recent Boeing debacle has shown, the avionics domain is in need of greater sophistication and reliability. What it doesn't need is more hackery, as satisfying as that may be for the hardware hackers.

Though Ada isn't a massive household name, I think its designers were vindicated by history.
Some cities, like Montreal, have curb side parking and charging spots, reserved for EVs. There’s enough coverage in central areas that I wouldn’t worry about being left without a charge.
