I'm still on my iPhone 6, and I am not going to get the 11 either, in fact I have been dabbling with LineageOS on a Xiaomi Pocophone F1 as a second travel phone.

What would make me "upgrade" (not sure if I can really call that an upgrade in the absence of a headphone port).

Must-haves:

1. USB-C

2. 5G support using a single-chip like the Qualcomm Snapdragon X55 baseband chipset (not a separate 4g and 5G chip as with the X50)

3. No more stupid notch

Nice to have:

4. Some sort of anti-slip ridges or grip milled into the casework

5. Getting TouchID back

6. No more stupid lens bump
I wholeheartedly agree. Their problem is in multiple areas: product, design, and presentation.

First and most noticeably they no long have a "master of ceremony" someone that is not only excited by the products but also enthusiastic to show them off to you. This is exemplified with no more "One More thing..."

Second, their designs are old and tired. I don't know if Ive ran out of Braun/Rams designs to borrow from or if the execs fear any major design changes, but Apple has become too comfortable with their design language and unfortunately they are starting to show a lack of taste (looking at you over-sized camera bump)

Third, the products have matured. Apple hasn't really done anything new or exciting with their lineup. Gone are the days you expected to see a new product that is lifestyle changing. Now days you might see a spec bump, or a change in product to make it thinner, but nothing that really stands out as "Wow I've gotta have that". The thing I remember most from the last two announcements were features targeting "influencers" - Animoji's and "Slofies".

Finally, I don't feel apple understands the waning in their product appeal. Be it on price or function, I see a lot less Apple products at coffee shops and colleges these days.
Actually there were a lot of socialists and communists who were against the violent tactics Lenin and Stalin. Those people got murdered by the regimes they opposed. The communists you and I learn about in school were the authoritarian communists, and they were indeed bad because authoritarianism is bad. They were violent because they were authoritarian, not because they were communist. Now Marx did advocate for some violence I believe, but he had contemporary critics including Michael Bakunin.
> Just maybe realization how stupid it is.

This about sums up my experience in deleting Facebook. It seemed like a shallow form of communication at the time, now as an outsider it feels even more so. I do feel less stressed and emotionally burdened by constantly being exposed to everyone else though.
the second paragraph spells it out? at the jump the series converges to the average rather than either value.
I've used ngrok in the past for exposing local projects but didn't like being time limited and then having someone try to sell me something. The setup I went with is I forward my local http servers port over an ssh tunnel to a local port listening on a gcompute VPS running apache with a virtualhost configured using mod_proxy to listen on a subdomain managed my cloudflare, cloudflare then takes care of the https/ssl certificates and your good to go!
This setup has been working better than ngrok for me, The only thing I miss is ngroks logging, but I haven't come accross anything I couldn't debug between apaches access.log and my local development console.
For anyone doing this more than once a day I really reccomend investing in building your own infastructure, even if you don't learn a thing or two at least your brushing up on a topic.
Also, phone rings.

This is very unique to NY and this is because NY regulations have made it unprofitable to be a rideshare driver for anything less than full time. NY basically killed all the part time jobs.

Next time you ride with one, ask them about what they have to do to become a rideshare driver in NY and if the burden of regulations and costs paid to the state would be worth if it they were not doing the work full time.
Congrats, you know how to read and criticize without acknowledging that this is clearly not correct.
The agreement was apparently just with Visa/MasterCard, and Amex works differently there, it seems.

https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2018-08-09/visa-mast...

> Visa Inc. and Mastercard Inc. agreed to cut Canadian credit-card transaction fees in a move that could save smaller businesses C$250 million ($192 million) a year and crimp revenue for Canadian lenders.

> American Express Co. agreed separately to support “objectives of greater fairness and transparency," the government said. AmEx doesn’t operate on an interchange model for its fees. The New York-based company remains “committed to improving the fairness of the Canadian credit card ecosystem,” company spokesman David Barnes said in an email.

Love MyHDL! Was essentially how I learned python and transitioned from a hardware engineer to devops.

Here is a blogpost I did a while ago on how to design a UART with it https://www.eetimes.com/author.asp?section_id=36&doc_id=1323...
RabbitMQ is another option. Clustering is fragile, but it's fine if you just need a single-node: https://www.rabbitmq.com/

There are also proprietary systems like Solace: https://solace.com/

Other than that, there are embedded queuing/log libraries or you can just dump the messages into a key/value store or write them out to a file yourself.
Could you elaborate on this? It's not that I doubt what you're saying, but some studies would be nice.
That's pretty stupid. If this was truly their strategy, they're just raising everyone's costs. They can't out-compete Google at this game.
Was there anything that innovative at the event? Have we reached peak innovation?
And that's one of the major arguments for mass produced small modular reactors.

No one-off construction, flexible siting due to no water cooling, underground for security, and meltdown proof. Just walkaway safe electricity at five cents a KWH or less. :-)

I read Frankl (Man's Search for Meaning) decades ago and was impressed too. But a year or two ago I learnt more about his story. A reader of that book, which sold millions, would be surprised to learn, for example, that Frankl only spent a few days at Auschwitz, himself performed medical experiments on Jews, or that "in 1978 when attempting to give a lecture at the institute of Adult Jewish Studies in New York, Frankl was confronted with an outburst of boos from the audience and was called a nazi pig". Frankl's biographer wrote "...we know the reality of Auschwitz is that attitude mattered little for survival."

>iPhones don't already support 4k video?

they do
Yep, I've got an iPhone X and feel like it's fine for another year. Although the battery life improvements are supposed to be notable? Personally the next big thing I'm waiting for is USB-C so iPhone 12 it is...
I keep hearing this, but all my friends just text me. I'm under 30 too. Maybe it's just that I have a small friend group. Though even my grad department informs me of events. We're all fairly close though, so maybe that makes a difference.
Electricity price is already adapted hour per hour on the European Market. When the wind blows in Germany, price sometimes even go negative: it costs operationally less to energy producers to pay people to use the energy than stopping equipment. No change has been noted on the electricity usage.

Electricity bill is on average $100 per household per month. People won't shift their usage because electricity is too cheap anyway. 1.6% of your revenue === 1.6% of your saving effort.

Note that the periodicity of wind blowing is days and weeks, so it's too long and too intermittent to align daily routines on it. Forget about charging your car or hot water aligned on it, the only solution we have scaled to use this wind energy is reversible dams / potential energy, and of that we have no more unexploited geography to support wind turbines. Feb 2019 we produced in Germany 10,000GWh with wind versus 3,000GWh in July 2019. And between 2 consecutive weeks, it can be a factor of x10 of difference.

Agreed and pretty accurate way to describe all the people I know who quit Facebook.

The rest of us use Facebook or Messenger to organize events because there's a lot of us and it's the most convenient mechanism for organizing group activities. If people choose to opt out, it's up to the organizer whether they want to go through the additional mental effort of communicating everything to the Luddites through whatever special communication method they require.

Mostly, we just require the Luddites to find out about events and updates themselves. (Usually they find out by overhearing the rest of us talking about upcoming stuff as its being planned.)

The end result is usually that the Luddites get themselves back on to Facebook after 6 months of missing out on shenanigans.
I'm not an expert, but one of the most exciting realizations I've had over the last few years is just how close quantum theory is to various "ordinary" kinds of probability theory, including Kolmogorov's classical theory. Now probability theory is not so boring for me.

Quantum physics has inspired so much work in other fields! Check out this guy's work for examples: https://scholar.google.com/citations?user=wdhkzPMAAAAJ&hl=en

I don't agree with Khrennikov's interpretation of quantum mechanics (he's a realist whereas I tend to appreciate the more "mystical" feeling interpretations of quantum mechanics), but he and others' work on the connections between quantum physics and classical probability theory, as well as on non-physics applications of quantum theoretic tools, is crazy thought provoking.

Warframe is a grind designed to make you spend money.

If you like grind then it's free, if you hate grind and won't spend money the game is bad.
Heh, this is the story of how Slack got built. Slack was built as an internal tool while building Glitch, an online game. From Wikipedia:

> Slack began as an internal tool for Stewart Butterfield's company Tiny Speck during the development of Glitch, a defunct online game.[13][14] "Slack" is an acronym for "Searchable Log of All Conversation and Knowledge.
Dual SIM is amazing for travel, and the only reason I upgraded to the Xs last year. I put Verizon on the eSIM and then use prepaid/travel SIMs in the physical port.

Claire deWitt and the city of the dead, by Sara Gran is a good example. Very colorful language.

Also the first volumes of the Berlin Noir "trilogy".
I can put my finger on it, literally, I love the fingerprint sensor for Apple Pay. I see my wife trying to use face-id for it and it seems very convoluted. Until someone shows me a simple a gesture as holding out my phone with my thumb on the fingerprint sensor, I don't have any want for a replacement for my 8.
> the internet is an invention of the anarchist movement

Could you elaborate on that statement? I've heard this same notion twice now in the past couple months, and I have no idea what it's based upon.

It seems far easier to argue that the Internet is an invention of the military-industrial complex. I would enjoy hearing your rationale!
> I've seen lower stress levels simply because I'm not as connected to the news and political cycle.

Wouldn't that qualify as something magical happening?
> It is unlikely that any of my friends and family members are going to move to Android, where there is a wide variety of hardware form factors to choose from. The iOS lockin is very powerful.

The worst thing is that despite this there are basically no high-end small phones in Android either! Once you look at phones smaller than like 5 inches you get into very weird or super low-end phones that are basically unusable.

Hell, even the iphone 8 and X is smaller than most androids
Wasn't the ill fated code itself written in Ada? That is essentially all that goes on boeing aircraft. I don't think a lack of software engineering rigor is to blame for the design mistake.
The web serial Worm is amazing. The sequel, Ward, is really far along now and is even better IMO. You can catch up on https://www.parahumans.net/

The HN crowd would probably really like Worm in general. Basically a sci-fi superhero story with realistic uses of powers and complex characters. The protagonist has the powers of insect control and scalable multitasking.
Oh, I don’t doubt that the feature would make most sense in the Enterprise tier, but we’re on Atlassian right now, whose price is often equated to free compared to Gitlab.

Convincing them to spend $20/developer/month is going to be hard. Convincing them to spend $100/dev/month is going to be a whole different ballgame (even if it’s ultimately perfectly great unit economics if gitlab increases productivity by at least 2%).
I wonder how compact AR glasses can get, near term. My wife and I just gave our Oculus Go to our grandson and bought an Oculus Quest which is portable, has a sort-of AR ability because of external lowers video cameras, and is comfortable. But, the Quest is a long ways away from glasses.

A little off topic, but I worked in VR in the mid 1990s for SAIC, and Angel Studios/Disney. I am so very happy to see inexpensive consumer VR rigs like the Quest. Some of the media produced for the Quest is very good, Vader Immortal being my favorite entertainment ever.
This is a great question!

I believe that depends from the site. If it was facebook I believe a 200$ would be a good price point
There's also a good degree of US interpretation of terms, where apparently communism, fascism, socialism, democratic socialism and sometimes social democrat are all indistinguishable from the USSR.

It can make some discussions seem rather futile. :)
tl;dr: Design hardware with VHDL, but generate your VHDL programmatically with Python then easily simulate it.

... I can't say if that's really what's been missing in HW designers' life, but - I'm not one of them, so I wouldn't know.
Before people spend time setting this up: Note this doesn't support any other asset types other than cash.

I would assume that most people here have stocks or bonds or something of some type.

Most of my assets are investments which makes this fairly useless for me, even if it does look very nice :-(.
Apple watch in cellular mode dies after a few hours.
I think that's normal. Walking around La Jolla, a lot of places have no reception (on Sprint).

I used to use Twitter. My country's political news and related commentary usually got me into a mental state of frustration and misanthropy.

I deleted Twitter. Political news still frustrate me but I rarely see them anymore. Ignorance is bliss. I've effectively created a safe space where political idiocy can't cognitively harass me.

Is it wrong to be so uninformed? I don't know. I think a lot about it and I haven't come to a satisfactory conclusion. By being uninformed I'm somewhat unable to fight against the "wrong" opinions, but maybe if I was informed my opinions wouldn't change a thing anyway.

My mental health is better off just accepting any idiotic laws my country passes instead of trying to "protest" (in the most useless sense of the word: tweeting about it) against them, for the most part.
This is interesting, because I do not have social media but take a TON of pictures and videos of my kids (4 years old and 4.months old).... I send some to family via group texts, but most just sit on my phone/computer/cloud until I look at them.

I take so many for a few reasons. One, I think they are crazy cute and want to take pictures and videos when I see them doing cute things. Two, my 4 year old loves looking at them... she wants to see videos of herself all the time, and cracks up seeing herself as a baby.

Three, I don't do a baby book but want to be able to remember how they were at these ages when they are older. It is already trippy/fun to look at pictures and videos of my daughter at 4 months and compare them to her baby brother now. It is fun to watch old videos and see the first bits and pieces of the kid I love now.

99% of the pictures and videos haven't been looked at by anyone but me and my daughter, but I am SO glad I have them.
So, you have very expensive insurance?

As it turns out, I've never destroyed any of my own phones, so I saved $300 every two years since I started buying smart phones 12 years ago. So $1800. If my phone gets submerged and Google won't replace it, I guess I'll have to buy another phone with my $1800 budget!

Also, when I got my Pixel 3, the back had some waves in the paint. It literally did not matter at all, because I put a case on it, and it couldn't affect functionality at all, but I told them I wasn't happy, and they shipped a new one that did not have the cosmetic imperfections. Try that with your iPhone! Oh yeah, it would probably work.

shrug This isn't a competition. Just be smart with your money (or do with your money as you choose, whether someone else thinks it smart or not!)
CSS custom properties don't need JavaScript to work - they're a platform feature. You can read them and interact with them from JavaScript just like any other CSS property, but just like any other CSS property it can be used 100% independently from any JS.

It's 4k at 60fps with extended dynamic range. If you've experienced HDR/wider color gamuts, then you'll appreciate the distinction.
> My work bought me an "upgrade" to the XR, as my SE is starting to show some battery issues.

I got my 5S's battery replaced super cheap literally downstairs from my apartment. I suspect I might end up doing that again, though a potential lack of security upgrades might make me itchy.
It's not less money, though. I can buy a telephoto, wide angle, and super wide lens and not have any money left over if my budget is the cost of an iPhone. The point isn't that the phone can replace those things in every situation it's that it's so good that it's more than good enough to replace those things for a significant percentage of the times I need them.

Case in point, I have an iPhone X and a DSLR with all of the above lenses and the camera kit + lenses were more expensive than the new iPhone and I probably would use them less.
ALGOL 60. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edsger_W._Dijkstra#Compiler_co...:

”Dijkstra was known to be a fan of ALGOL 60, and worked on the team that implemented the first compiler for that language. He was closely involved in the ALGOL 60 development, realisation and popularisation.”

Also: Haskell and pascal over C++ and Java (https://www.cs.utexas.edu/users/EWD/transcriptions/OtherDocs...)
I guess it depends on what magical means, but the Mental Health Benefits, Enhanced Interpersonal Relationships and Presence the author lists after the conclusion do seem magical to me.

Having time to stop, think and/or have a conversation with another human being is a magical experience nowadays.
Not an answer but I've been thinking of how that at some point in the future we'll be able to use text to speech and the tech being developed today, where we can synthesize the sound and cadence of a real person just based on a few recordings, to replace voice actors in video games.

If a console integrates the system into its OS then maybe that can help reduce file size and also allow indie devs to add a lot of voice to a game without having to record a ton.
This was more relevant when many products were like Confluence and JIRA...they would run on prem with the DBA's DBMS of choice.
I'm not sure where you're seeing these numbers?

https://fauna.com/pricing

I see free, on demand (which seems to be the middle ground you want), and $99/mo....oh, I see you're looking at Netlify's pricing, not Fauna's.

Which leads me to ask: why does your project require HTTP Basic Auth? Wouldn't a HTTPS login not only be more secure but also supported under the free tier?
The Nike version doesn't cost any extra - in fact it gives you extra watch faces and different band options (that are not visibly branded). Most years the Nike bands have been better than the reguar ones, and the Nike faces are nice if you like that sort of thing.
I just read a noir-ish novel, a French novel, The Lady in the Car with the Glasses and a Gun by Japrisot. There's another French writer, Jean-Patrick Manchette, who has written a few great crime novels.

But, really, noir-tinged stuff is everywhere. I liked The City & The City (China Mieville, a police procedural with a fantasy twist) and I loved The Thief (Fuminori Nakamura).

None of these are strictly speaking noir but they've descended from it. Noir from the 30s-50s has really held up, though. I was shocked when I read stuff like Pick-Up, They Shoot Horses Don't They? and so on. It has aged extremely well.
Looks fun, happy to see a great usage of CSS custom properties, but a little baffled and let down that it seems to use invalid HTML attributes :/

When writing HTML you can invent any custom attribute you want so long as it begins with `data-` [0], and in JavaScript there's even a special dataset interface that makes working with these custom data-* attributes simple and easy [1].

This could be improved without changing any of the design at all - just by updating it to not rely on writing invalid HTML.

This new iteration adds source control integrations (GitHub, GitLab, BitBucket), private module storage, and the ability to actually run plans and applies in the web interface. Previously the free cloud version was essentially just a read-only interface that was pretty worthless.

Does anybody know if Terraform Cloud can integrate with Vault? We use Vault auto-provisioning to create dynamic short lived IAM users when running Terraform commands.
This write-up really ends up understating the benefits and "magical" things that actually did happen, but I fully approve of the understated approach. Hyping everything up is part of the problem. If something is beneficial, I shouldn't need to sell you on it; I can just tell you about it, and you can decide. (In fact it's almost an intrusion into your free will when I start persuading you, and it betrays some vested interest on my part.) That's why you don't brag about quitting social media. And why you quit social media in the first place is a related example of the same thing: If I'm a worthwhile and valid human being, I shouldn't need to sell you on me, and maintain this continual online sales platform for the "me" product. You can discover it on your own and maybe reach the conclusion that I'm awesome, or maybe not, but either way it's fine. Zen, baby. (I think the meditation helped more than he realizes LOL)
What does AWS have to do with an internal chat application? Is Uber going to roll out another Slack clone because they thought of something marginally better?

This where understanding business matters. AWS makes sense as a business and it benefits mostly from economies of scale which is something unique that a massive company like Amazon can provide the service which few other companies could.

NIH stuff is also rarely externalized outside of the business. Even as open source. Which as the OP pointed out needs proper investment of human capital. Not some side project of a bored engineer or two.

Most innovation happens outside of mega companies by small teams for a good reason. Even the Skunkworks type approach is only useful for certain types of work like Googles X projects. Some B2B SaaS programs roll out of parent organiations but typically they are started by teams who quit the bigger company to solve the problem they had.
