The guy built a brand around a growing lifestyle and changed the way products are communicated.

His impact on packaging is present all over the place if you look. He’s just looking for his next calling.

I thought it was interesting read, but it’s a story without a resolution yet.
If it was anything other than airplanes maybe.
The app model, surely not.

The UX?

Ask Samsung. Use a Samsung phone and you are wrapped in their experience. Pairing BT headsets is different, the S-Pen is truly unique and rather well integrated. The camera is unique and for quite awhile was cutting edge and one of the reasons to buy a Samsung phone.

The custom Samsung UI started out pretty bad, but over time it got good. People are used to it, using other Android phones feels a bit off to them, and a fair number of their UX improvements have been since become part of Android itself.
yes, the success story that is google+
The current AppleTV remote is garbage too, Apple Watch Series 0, how many rule proving exceptions do they get? Shall we segue into iOS 13...
this looks way better than the Samsung Fold. if you haven't yet, watch a durability video on the Fold. the display is plastic and will get scratched from basically anything (even your fingernail). Microsoft's version has glass. also nice that it's using Android.

but...how will I mount it in the car for GPS?
And we got the 737 Max out of it. If we continue to protect Boeing from competition, they'll continue to do this.
this is neat! my dad is a professional photographer and told me about “light painting” using super long exposures in a darkened space, wearing all black and using gelled lights. he had a friend who shot motorcycles, not sure for whom, but used the method to add colored accents, such as an orange glow around the engine.

txting him this link, he’s gunna love it!
> but if you just want to install a driver and have your system work, Nvidia is ahead.

But if you want your driver to not break horribly whenever there's a xorg or kernel update, nvidia is behind

Or if you want your driver to just work 'out of the box' without needing to go out and install a binary driver nvidia is behind

Or if you want your driver to support newer technologies like DRI3 and wayland nvidia is behind

There has never been a "Rails era" in which Ruby represented 60% of the back-end server market share, or even 10% of the share of the languages I listed.
I like the idea of dual screen on the phone, its quite natural to browse two related pages at the same time and will improve that kind of experience. Will it have pen support?

However i'm very dubious of what the dual screen experience will be like bolted on top of Windows (NEO) and Android (DUO).

Somehow in my humble opinion Apple have been able to run rings around Google and Microsoft when it come's to pure UX in mobile tech and given the past history i fully expect that true in the future.

This is where i expect DUO will stumble, in the same way that Samsung fails with its extensions and bolt on's.
Aren’t the production lines of Airbus and Boing booked for many years ahead? Isn’t this why airlines put up with the 737-MAX fiasco?

Then, aren’t these tariffs simply a tax on the consumers?
I wonder though.. was just musing this morning about when Facebook might have its AOL- or MySpace- trajectory. Of course, they're a far healthier economic entity, a better managed and more internationally entrenched platform... but, as someone without a Facebook account anymore, I certainly hold a glimmer of hope that all of these platforms can dig their own graves, if they're not careful.
Honestly, they'll just keep debunking everything. Control of the narrative requires control of the media... Obviously.

I'm living in Sofia and I wouldn't live anywhere else.

I got a comfortable job in IT which makes me a outlier though. I pay around 20% of my income in taxes and national insurance funds, excluding VAT. I actually believe I should be taxed more, even thought I'm far from the 1%. My costs for housing, utilities and transportation are low. Entertainment is cheap and the cafe's and clubs are always full.

I get to eat out or go out as much as I want without straining my budget and I appreciate it because my friends in Western Europe live in lonely suburbs away from any friends and from the expensive city centers. And comfortable as they are they are still foreigners - something I tried for a few years, but didn't enjoy too much. That said I know a lot of expats that love it here.

My friends in richer countries afford nicer cars and Apple products, but spend very little time outside their homes, long commutes and workplaces. I have yet to have one I envy even the slightest, but many people here believe that emigrants are showered with money for nothing.

I travel a lot, both in richer countries and have been poorer parts like in Africa and Latin America. Travelling has only made me appreciate my country more. Seeing much people in poorer societies being much happier and grateful is eye opening!

The healthcare is actually not that bad, if you have private insurance. People complain about the ZOC because it covers very little costs, but is focused on the most needy. I have close friends who had very expensive heart surgeries and didn't pay a lev for it. It is shameful and suspicious to say good things about any government institution so these friends keep quiet anout it. It is true that many of the medical workers stay here because of their families and out of charity for the country. Recently the nurses went on strike because they are paid close to minimum wage.

My perspective might change if I get older, but so far I'm happy.

I don't think the statistics are misleading but I don't think they represent the future. The trend is your friend until it ends..
Very refreshing approach, as someone deeply interested in this topic but without the time to dive in to the docs myself
I use PostgreSQL regularly and pull (and even search) JSON blobs. We have something like 150 million JSON blobs (dataset is 500Gb) that are searched almost every query, response time is maybe 150-200ms... That's on an AWS t3.medium RDS instance.

I don't really know what the hell is going on with this, but something isn't correct.
And when will it support dual boot?

> I am just talking about the experience of seeing a person's face every day, looking them in the eye, making small talk, interacting with other customers in the bank. That kind of every day stuff has value.

Yes, but this value is clearly less than the value provided by automated convenience. Isn't this why you don't go to a physical bank at all?

It seems like the problem is that the people who are "automated away" should be able to get by somehow, even if that means entering retraining or adding a safety net for those unable to transition somehow.

I'm not sure how many viable solutions of substance we'll come us with, considering our day job is programming computers, not crunching intentionally complex economic policy.
It's easy to ignore politics and live as a tourist if you re an expat. Being a native, with native family / friends always drags you back into local / national politics - in general it's harder to disentangle yourself.
Something like this could create a large market for CO2. If the market was hot enough, fossil fuel plants might capture and sell their own emissions.
I believe one of the biggest blockers for ~right now~ is Ajit Pai, FCC Chairman.

Anything around privacy will need the support of the FCC and, under the current administration, they have clearly set a standard of favoring a hands-off approach. In fact, avoiding regulation is the number one philosophy bullet point on his profile - https://www.fcc.gov/about/leadership/ajit-pai.

While I am generally and very-broadly-speaking against regulation, I believe privacy and personal-data issues are definitely an exception for me.

Edit: Really not trying to be partisan here, folks. Privacy laws are regulatory and it's not an opinion that the FCC doesn't want regulations - that's why I provided the link to the .Gov website for proof.
fooblitzky it's interesting you think that handling millions of open websocket connections with state is needed. Firstly, all of these browsers already have connections to Google's servers. HTTP keeps a connection pool open, so keeping connections open is still needed regardless of the transport. Given that, why not use long polling? No state is needed in that situation. And if you're doing that, what's wrong with one additional step, and stream updates over an XHR connection, which too is effectively stateless given any request can fail, reconnect, and subscribe to the stream of updates.

I appreciate streaming is harder than polling. But IMHO, if that's Google's thinking, that feels a little defeatist that has designed and built complex systems like Millwheel (https://ai.google/research/pubs/pub41378) to solve these types of problems.
The No-Code Revolution. Why Now?
Hockey Puck mouse.

Heck my Mac-mini overheats and throttles itself not by reducing the CPU clock but apparently by having a system process just take ownership of the CPU and NO-OP things until the system cools down, bringing everything including the UI down to a crawl.

An absolutely horrible user experience.

This is basically what most rdbmses have been offering for the last 20 years. Oracle rdbms is in fact an application server, and best practice is to have an app layer built using plsql package through which you access all the data.

More than 20 years ago I actually used it as a true application server, where the database application layer would even generate all the HTML code required to displayed your app ui.

And with database schemas you have proper sandboxing.

Apple's strategy is great for consumers, IT departments, and (I assume) developers in that way. I can use the same device management tools to control a corporate Macbook, Apple TV, or iPad. The differences in their product line (iPad vs iPad Pro, Macbook vs Macbook Pro, etc) all have a common denominator where you're rarely having one of those conversations where someone realizes "Oh I asked for X but procurement dept got me a 2X which is completely incompatible".

Someone posted a rant here[1] that I think about often, about Microsoft's muddying the waters of Skype, Skype for Business, OneDrive, OneDrive for Business, Windows 10, Windows 10 N, which are all different, incompatible, broken products that you would think fit together but truly don't. It's frustrating as both a consumer and an IT admin, and diminishes my faith in anything they do on this side of the market.

I think much of the explanation for animals like elk is that they just shy away from humans on foot. That activity increases lots during hunting seasons.
Google, just like any other company, has to balance between something working and working the right way. The Google managers are probably just fine with polling and, as you said, the bandwidth isn’t even a rounding error.

Who sits at the Google search page for longer than a minute or two waiting for scores to update? They probably aren’t waiting for more than a couple polls.

Agreed, and what firewalls block long polling, which is in itself significantly better?
One of the reasons I'm excited about a built-in second screen is, I don't need to carry another extra device. I mean even if I need to use an ipad, I'm currently slouching on my couch. I need a flat surface to keep that ipad/screen at the right angle. Sounds petty but it's just very convenient to have more real estate on your lap (or on a flight or cafe table).

Also, I'm not too into the Apple ecosystem and don't own an ipad so would have to get an ipad just to use it as a second screen. I think it could work for some but an integrate dual screen solution is exciting.
I like how on the Duo and larger Neo Microsoft just embraced the fact that foldable OLED isn't ready for prime time yet and instead tried to engineer the seam with as much aesthetic and engineering quality possible.
>The ideology of generating shareholder profit "has caused immeasurable harm"? Really? The author is casting aside decades of economic growth, peace, and innovation.

You mean when I was in grade school in the '90s? Because my memories of being a young adult go roughly:

* Dot-com bust

* 9/11

* Jobless recovery and War on Terror

* Rising inequality, low growth

* Housing bubble

* Global Financial Crisis

* Bank bailouts, rising inequality, recession

* Slow-going recovery, rising inequality, falling real wages

* Real wages finally start ticking slightly, slightly, slightly upward after decades

* Rising inequality, low growth

* Trump elected

* Rising inequality, low growth, economists now talking very publicly about corruption and "secular stagnation"

It's very nice to not have to worry about money. I think people tend to downplay the importance of removing this stress from your life. No, money doesn't solve everything, but for me the lack of it created an immense amount of stress.

Once upon a time privacy was a good thing. Now, wiretapping has become the norm, and privacy means nothing. So disapointed.
Having worked at a few of the top ones, many of them are now investing huge $$$ to rearchitect their tech platform to Java and services. I understand that Ruby allowed them to grow fast, but I am wondering if starting with Java to begin with would have allowed them to avoid massive investment to address tech debt at the expense of growth and profitability at a late stage.
I agree completely. The only way they embrace change is when it impacts their bottom line. Visa and Mastercard are citing privacy and security as a reason they are not going to work with Facebook. That kind of thing will lose them money in the long run, and the only hope is that they realize the competitive advantage of prioritizing security.
This is the most accurate description of my depression and why it is seemingly impervious to therapy. It's not debilitating to the point of not being able to function in daily life, but is instead a constant, low-grade friction resulting in less drive and confidence and more inaction. Basically, life has taught me that my self-esteem was misguided, and I'm unsure of how to meaningfully act without it, so I just sort of fade away.
To implement this, you have to have a developer who is doing something else switch to this, get up to speed, and make a change. This involves risk and opportunity cost.

The question for enterprise software development isn't "Will this make this thing better?", but "Is making this change more valuable than the other things on the priority list?"
Why? What's the genesis of this difference? Does it have a tie-in to, say, a famous public health crisis? Who says there are no vultures on the Portugal side? Where can I learn more, if I want? Who works on this stuff? Pictures?

International trade and trade wars are two different things though.

If one country conducts their trade in an unfair manner and won't stop until another country retaliates, after which they both trade fairly, this would be just one an example of an effective trade war.

Whether any of this is happening today is very complex and seems to come down to a matter of opinion, especially since almost no one has sat down and really looked at the numbers and issues in depth.
Tell that to starving north-koreans.
I’ve got to be honest I thought this was the right take but I doubt it now. At least with React. Ive been doing performance on a large app now for months and JS is very often the problem. If you’re re-rendering anything that’s more than a few components wide and a few deep, say 20-40 in total, you’re already over your frame (16ms) budget. To me that’s insane. You can’t render more than 20 components at a time? And this is using a really fast computer. I almost can’t believe it. But often just the logic for a single component that’s a few levels deep takes 4ms. I really do feel that should be about 10x faster but for some reason it isn’t.
As much as it seems so, it's not environmentally efficient.

This is because the same raw materials would have to be extracted at multiple places, more people would have to work at similar factories, producing similar goods.

Effectively, the world will be making the same 7 billion shoes except that shoe manufacturing infrastructure+supply chains+transportations will have to be made everywhere, thus expediting environmental degradation.

A lot of extra work will be done to find the same efficiencies everywhere.

Shipping for 7 billion people is actually very efficient.
That's the definition of "free market" - free from government interference. You can't call something a "fragile free market" if the market is not free.

I'm happy to see that Asus managed to find a way to keep the Escape key even while taking up way more space than Touchbar. Apple has no excuse.

Still I'd personally rather use efficient tiling software + tabbing between spaces than have to look down at distractions. I'm amazed no major OS developer has tried to deliver this as an advanced mode. It's the type of thing that would benefit from direct OS integration.

Most of the MacOS tiling software have occasional awkward moments with Spaces and fullscreen mode.
Two points perhaps worth considering:

1) Defining "success" as "made a ton of money" is reductive and probably not very useful

2) Many (most?) successful people are ambitious, but lots of ambitious people do not succeed, at least by their own standards
