Except, long press has been a gesture since the earliest days of iOS. They’re simply reverting back.

I think you’re correct that cost was a factor, but more likely that the marginally utility of force touch over long-press wasn’t worth the trade-off. (Both gestures have to be learned, but force touch is faster once learned. But probably not enough people used it to justify the extra layer of technology.)
Small world indeed. I work a bit in Clojure from time to time, so I have a passing familiarity with the coding style.

FWIW, for the same game I described above, I also ended up cloning half of Stuart Sierra's famous Component library to use it as my half-baked Dependency Injection framework. This was motivated by the fact that - due to various life reasons - I do a good chunk of my development from a sidearm machine via SSH to my desktop, so I need an architecture where I can develop and test the game in headless mode (no graphics, mock inputs) as much as possible. I write a lot of unit tests now.
I’ve had the same goal in mind, to get to a point where I can be more flexible with work arrangements. Maybe work part time or work from any location. I’m struggling with doing that though. I’ve already accumulated enough for me to do this, but my income is at its highest currently, and mentally it’s been a struggle to give that up. For the last couple of years it’s been, well let’s just save a bit more to be safe.
I sympathize with the plight of the homeless and donate what I can to local Bay Area charities. But after volunteering with some river cleanup efforts I am appalled by the amount of litter that homeless people thoughtlessly dump in ecologically sensitive areas. And don't tell me they had no alternative: there were public garbage cans within easy walking distance.
Analysis of YouTube's political influence through recommendations
Please stop, people can build whatever they want how ever they wish, especially when it’s not planned to be super public. They wish to build it in svelte, that’s all the reasoning you need.

I’ve also literally seen someone use a game engine to build a resume on here, it was super cool and attracted a lot of interest
> ... or build one yourself.

Do you really think that this is going to be even remotely feasible for 99.999% of the population? I'm a computer scientist and I wouldn't know where to start. Sure, it's easier than "build your own YouTube", but that's not much of a comparison.

Besides, surely the host would be incentivised if not obligated to provide recommendation features of their own?
There won’t be a next Tesla and (smart) investors aren’t looking for one. Like chip startups the exit strategy doesn’t depend on competing with the big guys, but being acquired by them.
I’m worried by how much I like this idea
Why are people so worried about preserving the warranty on their electronics? If it lasted 30 days and you don’t break it while futzing with it, it’s likely to work through the warranty period anyway. If it doesn’t, buy another one. TVs are ridiculously inexpensive now.

I see people online waiting years (perhaps 5% of their life) to mod their cars or electronics for fear of losing the warranty.

Side note: Magnuson-Moss in the US prevents manufacturers from failing to honor their warranty because of totally unrelated modifications (or for opening a device without damaging it). “Warranty void if sticker removed” is almost certainly inaccurate legally.
I think we’re safe from that because enough people put their smartTVs on the network anyway.

We’ll lose some precision in the data because it’s biased against grandma, but good enough to sell the reports.

It may be $25/unit, but if 9/10 put their device on the network anyway, that’s $250/useful outcome.

This is why we have the video rental privacy law:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Bork

> During debate over his nomination, Bork's video rental history was leaked to the press. His video rental history was unremarkable, and included such harmless titles as A Day at the Races, Ruthless People, and The Man Who Knew Too Much. Writer Michael Dolan, who obtained a copy of the hand-written list of rentals, wrote about it for the Washington City Paper.[36] Dolan justified accessing the list on the ground that Bork himself had stated that Americans had only such privacy rights as afforded them by direct legislation. The incident led to the enactment of the 1988 Video Privacy Protection Act.[37][38]
To understand why people say Angular is over-engineered Google something simple like "Angular http request". You'll end up at this page: https://angular.io/guide/http

It's almost comical. I can't believe how long that guide is and how many concepts Angular invented just to fetch some JSON from an http service.
I don't think OP is referring to meaning in an existential or epistemological sense, but rather discussing workaholism as a "practical" avoidant behavior for those who put off dealing with some kind of dysfunction or trauma.
> - Elements end up with messy, non-semantic class name strings like "m-4 mt-0 p-3 rounded bg-blue". This makes it much harder for non-technical teams to use out-of-the-box SaaS solutions for things like interaction tracking and A/B testing. (These apps often use element class names under the hood, so if you use Tailwind and change a CTA from rounded to very-rounded, the marketing guy will discover two weeks later that all his click-through metrics are wrong.)

IMO the problem here is tools trying to use CSS for something it’s not designed for. They advertise themselves as not requiring technical knowledge to use, but they’re selling a lie. Unless the marketing guy understands the structure of the site and the CSS there’s no way for him to be sure he’s tracking the thing he thinks he’s tracking - unless you’re instrumenting the CSS to help him out, and are committed to not doing anything that would break one of his selectors (or change its meaning, or reuse it for something else - and are you sure you know all the selectors he’s using, and that the automatic selectors the tool is creating are actually doing what he intends?).

Data attributes are probably the solution here, then CSS can be reserved for its intended use: controlling styles. But then the tooling needs a way to target those attributes automatically, otherwise you’ve “broken” the “no technical knowledge required” sell of the software they already licensed (without asking you for input...)

Hillary's use of a private email server was extremely illegal and many people have been jailed for a long time for much less. The only reason HRC wasn't indicted was because of a heavily biased investigator and because of some flimsy claim that there wasn't a prosecutor that would take the case.

Assange has said many times he would have also published anything negative about Trump if he received anything. He didn't, and the proof of that is that anyone leaking to WikiLeaks could easily go to anyone else with the same information.

Please stop spreading lies, propaganda, and misinformation.
$25 is hugely expensive. This is an industry that removes $0.02 bypass capacitors by trial and error to save a few pennies.
Okay, yeah. Read some papers about some different attacks that avoid detection through such means. OTOH, those attacks do seem to rely on the simplistic nature of consistency checks. If this were used to make and open FPGA, it seems like we could run a very rigorous set of test structures that would exhaustively test the operations of various devices on-chip.

This is much more about what the framework solves: UI as a function of the data, no spaghetti code full of DOM handlers and cross-references that are hard to follow.

Now I just used Svelte for this project, which is indeed a simple website which might not need this at all.

Still, I invite you to do similar transitions as I have between every page and on the homepage without a framework.

The site I work on has hundreds of millions of visitors a month. A double digit percentage of our overall traffic uses our desktop site on mobile. It’s not the same use case as Slack but I’d bet it’s bigger than you think.

Also, bug burden shouldn’t be an excuse if your market cap exceeds $10bn.
Wut? If you raise rates, then the price of bonds falls...if you hold debt, you want lower rates because you can then sell your bond at a higher price (theoretically, these are foreign-currency bonds so it isn't quite that simple).

And Turkey needs higher rates. The rate has been far below the natural rate for way too long. In capital markets, you saw Turkish companies make all these crazy acquisitions (in addition, to being forced by the govt into splashy infrastructure projects in areas that supported the govt)...the bust from this will be incredible (the only leverage Turkey has is that French/German banks are neck deep in this debt). Lowering rates is just prolonging the inevitable (the majority of Turkey's corporate sector is already functionally insolvent).
Haha great! This is 100% a "might as well put it on Arxiv since no one reviewer would ever see this as significant" lol. It's at least very fun. I'm going to have to save this one.

Automatics are still too dumb to keep the clutch engaged while braking.

Officially automatics and manuals are a wash for mileage, but I think driving style can make manuals the winner.

All that kinetic energy getting dissipated by brakes instead of turning the engine and all of its accessories in autos.

I’m quite surprised auto manufacturers haven’t implemented engine braking for émissions, reducing brake wear, and quicker « free » cabin heat in cold conditions.
Yep sorry, I misspoke, I meant more non-creative but vital work. I just spent a day doing nothing by CRM work and data entry and used a colorful pejorative :)

Hmmm … I wonder into what kind of action they'd most likely be shocked.

> So you took a private email address I gave you in confidentiality and handed it over to some hacker site which, without making any verification that you own that address, gave you a list of services I'd signed up for? Bob, YOU are now on my shit list. Your face IS punchable. You should get lost as soon as possible.

Maybe it would be better to tell them something along the lines of: "I just improved my internet security, and so can you! Check out these resources, plus some background information from trustworthy sources."

But which tools and reports should I recommend? In this context, "that talk I saw at Defcon" doesn't cut it. Recommending a site that endorses exactly one password management service also seems questionable; I'm concerned that if I tell colleagues to trust HIBP, I'm priming them to fall for anti-malware protection rackets.

How about the venerable NYT? They must have some great stuff. But then there's also content such as TFA, in which a graphics director and a writer from the opinion desk deliver bons mots such as: "None of us really has a choice to participate in tracking or not — the system just serves up location data, usually without us noticing. […] When we participate in this system, we're tacitly endorsing it." On a page that attempts to contact DoubleClick and Google Analytics. (Which I did notice, and, unlike the NYT, chose not to participate in.)

When someone asks for advice or I noticed them make a security boo-boo, I can teach them the bare minimum (basic stuff such as how to use unique credentials for every site and service). But when it comes to doing my part in spreading the word about being more proactive than the bare minimum … halp!

Edit: Credit where credit is due: I just finished reading TFA and discovered the section "What about The Times?", which has links to "This Article Is Spying on You" [0] and "How The Times Thinks About Privacy" [1].

Motion smoothing was the first thing I turned off on my new LG TV when I got it this month. It’s a nice feature for sports, but it sucks for basically everything else - especially animation where everything turns into a hot mess.

This is a pet peeve of mine, walking into the house of a family member, business lobby, etc. and see awful looking video on the screen because they didn’t turn this garbage off.

What if you supplied homes directly to homeless?
Thanks Shinryuu. I see the point in imposing a cost to avoid spam but I am afraid the real good candidates wouldn't even bother applying if they were asked for a payment before their application could be moved forward. There is some obvious spam that could be weeded out easily with a bit of tech e.g. geo-fencing applications and perhaps there are other ways too.

Similarly I wouldn't want to get in the way of a company that wants to reach out to a willing applicant. In fact putting two interested parties together is the very motivation for this project. Making it expensive for a candidate to apply or for a company to get in touch with the candidate may not necessarily improve things. In such a system the bad actors with money will thrive and i am afraid that doesn't improve the status quo in a meaningful way.
Have you driven one? Energy is 1/4 the price or less and efficiency is better even if your electricity comes from fossil fuels because small heat engines suck. Torque curve is better. Little maintenance, no oil changes, quiet, better handling. EVs are objectively superior in every single way except recharge speed amd range, and the gap has closed for the latter and is closing for the former. ICE is dead except for long haul and heavy driving where you don't often park the vehicle.

I have an older Leaf and it was an incredible deal for a commuter car. I don't understand why anyone gets anything else. The fuel cost savings and lack of maintenance alone are worth it, but it also drives and accelerates better than a smaller gas commuter car.

Nonviolent Communication.

I think it was linked on HN where it caught my attention. This book teaches a great way to communicate, but for me, it has also helped me think about my feelings and how I can communicate those feelings better. I feel more in touch with my feelings and more empathetic as a direct result from following what the book is teaching.

On the communication side, it has helped me put more structure around tough conversations, personally and professionally. It has helped me understand others more and vice versa. It's also helped me see toxic traits in others. Such as people who aren't interested in understanding or people who struggle to understand their own emotions.
I’ve often seen it with military personnel who fail in their transition from their military to post-military lives.

Some people invest so much of themselves into just a singular self-identity they are permanently anchored to it unless/until a forcing function compels an existential change.

I believe competing interests for time such as passions/hobbies and side hustles provide bridges from one employment career to another.

However, the mirror to workaholism is having too many passions/hobbies and side hustles outside of work leading to distraction and dilution.

Broad, deep, and substantial focus on singular topics/areas is important, for a time.

People want their lives to have meaning, often measured thru impactful and measurable work.

But not at the expense of losing one’s option to seek balance and joy.
Security patches don't necessarily affect uptime. For example, patching and replacing e.g. libc on a live system is entirely possible, even though it's not the standard procedure.
For me work is what I enjoy the most about life. I would do it for free - In fact I worked on open source projects for free for almost a decade. Including some successful/popular ones.

That said I still feel burned out. I've come to realize that not only did the work I do for free not give me any financial advantage (which I expected), but the people who've hired me over the past few years don't seem to recognize that work as being valid work experience.

I'm 30 years old but what I've found over and over again is that managers will give promotions to 35 year olds who spent most of their lives playing video games.

From my perspective, the people described in this article sound like they have it pretty good. What I need is merely for people to realize that I'm actually a 40 year old work-machine trapped in the body of a 30 year old human... Maybe if I can achieve that, then I will eventually reach a high point in my life when I can afford to have problems with self-actualization like those described in the article.
Ask HN: Using a smartphone and port hub to work on a remote machine?
I do most of my work on a remote machine. When my laptop kicks the bucket, I was thinking to replace it with a smartphone with a USB-C hub sporting all the needed ports (charging, HDMI, ethernet, USB etc.) to which I would connect my monitor, internet, wired keyboad and mouse and work on a remote machine.

Have any of you experimented with such setup and what is your experience?
yeah - I read their response at the time, but it occurred to me it may have been a response in haste or a misreading (it's the desktop option on mobile browsers; mobile browsing per se isn't supported for a long time I think), or a pragmatic implied "until we've investigated" as it worked for me on testing, and others, and its probably a skeleton support crew over Xmas.
I mean, the reason is that PR Newswire just reprints things they're given from others. They're not investigatory journalists in the usual sense by any means.
