Serious question: do people play mobile games where a slight latency would matter at all? Or are you talking about the overall immersion that goes missing?
These problems are not new or only affecting MacBooks. I had a 27" iMac for work and it cooked the display panel, HDD and the discrete graphics card. I did drive the system, including the GPU, reasonably hard, but nothing exceptional. To Apple's credit, they did replace the HDD and the display panel for free, but when the graphics card died I just gave up on it.

It seems like the combination of the form factor, components and thermal solutions that Apple uses just don't add up.
This has been exactly my experience. When I wrote https://www.jefftk.com/p/record-your-playing few people had heard of my band. We kept recording our playing, listening back to it, and finding places where we didn't sound like we wanted to. Two years after that post we were one of the most booked contra dance bands in the country.
I'm surprised nobody mentioned xiaomi phones yet.

Unfortunately not, Corey.
A noise gate does not remove hiss or static, it simply reduces the volume of the signal when it gets below a certain level.

As a professional audio engineer in a past life, I can say the SM7B + Triton Fethead is a great recommendation. The SM7B has very good off-axis rejection characteristics and will pick up _much_ less room noise than most alternatives.
A country in the EU and a state in the US are equivalent (for discussion on transport - in other contexts there are significant differences). Nobody flies between cities in one state, just like nobody flies between cities in one EU country. When going to a different country things change - the distances are now large enough that you fly because it is faster.

Remember, Chicago to New York City is almost the same distance as Munich to Moscow! (Note that rail advocates will tell you that Chicago to NYC is just barely in high speed rail range, anything farther even rail advocates don't pretend to be competitive. Chicago to New York City is not very far on the scale of the US, so of course we fly.

Yes I will agree that our rail system in the US isn't great, but flying doesn't compete with the rail system, driving does. A good rail system in the US would only negatively affect some short flying routes, it would however mean less people drove.
I too moved from Trello when they announced their restrictions. I moved to Restyaboard, a very good free Trello alternative. Migration from Trello to Restyaboard is easy without losing my data.
It takes 5 hours to go 100km? what route is that?
Yeah I was about to write that as well.
Yes, but if it's a choice between getting my car started and having to redo the electronics (which I can do with 3rd party parts, as I please) or getting stranded on the highway, I am happy to have the ability to choose.

Adam Neely's youtube channel is incredible. The musicologist (yeah, you can study that) in me loves it because the information he provides is accurate and easy to digest.

The musician in me loves his videos because he documents many of his (to me) relevant experiences and thoughts.

Apart from the claim being obviously fraudulent, he is one of coolest youtubers I know and deserves better than that.
I waited multiple years to upgrade from a MacBook Pro 2014, but was disappointed year after year, because I read about heating issues, the bad butterfly keyboard or the useless touch-bar.

In 2019 I felt like things are not going to get any better, so I bought a MacBook Pro 2019.
Was quite unhappy that I didn’t wait a bit longer after I saw the 16inch version coming out a few months later, because it had an escape key (which I really miss on mine), but now I am kind of happy that I have the 2019 15 inch version where the heating problem does not appear.

The touch-bar really is completely useless, I find myself tapping the wrong "keys" all the time. Changing volume was so easy before, now it became really hard. But most of all I miss the escape key.
If it wasn’t for macOS I had long picked a Windows laptop.
> I'm somewhat guilty of it as well, but a lot of people geek out on the gear side and spend money to optimize a fairly small part of the overall audio experience.

There's nothing wrong with buying gear.

It's just, he lists that set up as a "professional" podcast set up but forgot to mention the most important piece of hardware (or software) to get rid of continuous background noise.

If you're going to listen to someone talk for an hour, having a bunch of white noise hiss in the background is very tiring on your ears.

If you read that article without years of prior audio experience you might just blindly click those links and buy the top end set up, and then get upset that you just dropped $700 on a set up that sounds worse than what you could have gotten for $80 (+ free software) or half that in pure hardware but spending your budget on different hardware.
Sounds like a guy who would really hate Smalltalk :D
There needs to be repercussions for these types of incorrect claims. I think it's important that copyright owners have a way to protect their works on YouTube but these larger publishers in particular are so aggressive because there is no reason for them not to be. They face no consequences for getting it wrong. I think YouTube has a '3 strikes' rule for creators who infringe - maybe they need something similar for false claims. If you are found to have made 3 false claims within a 12 month period you are not allowed to manually claim for the next 12 months.

Alternatively a rule similar to the 'challenge' rule in the NFL - you get three claim ' credits'. If you use a credit correctly you get it back. Use it incorrectly and you lose it for the next 12 months.
It's a lot of money, but if you are making a living professionally, in such a specialized profession too which can warrant charging more, you should pay for the tools you use.

A plumber has the choice of buying the MegaPlumberPlus (making it up) for a high price but that makes them 10% more efficient, or weld together their Plumbathon. Doesn't matter what the cost of the MPP(tm) is, it can not justify stealing (pirating in sw) it. Not in a moral, nor legal way.

For a private person doing private stuff on their own computer perhaps many would say morally this is grey, but if you live from it? Pay'em or don't use it.
Thanks, that sounds like the right approach. I don't need to react to all DOM changes, but I have one jolly callback for changes to my one big happy god-owns-the-user-owns-the-world object (the observable), but the component has view-level properties like hiding and showing details, zoom and pan, etc, that aren't in the observable model, and I'd still like to redraw the canvas when they change. It doesn't take long to draw, but I just don't want to miss any updates, or have to pepper the code with explicit calls to redraw it every time I think something might have changed (causing a lot of pointless redrawing).

Fortunately my app is simple enough that I can just redraw everything whenever something changes, as long as I'm not doing it 37 extra times.

I was going to ask where that quote was from before realizing that there is a 44-page thread beyond the two highlighted responses.
Tweaks like Goldenchaos can help with usability. Volume control becomes a 2-finger slide on the touchbar. It’s not ideal, but it’s certainly better than nothing.
I just checked. Unless I'm missing something there is no simple volume control like on the physical keyboard? I already have the volume button on my touchbar home screen however tapping it opens a slider. I don't want or need a slider and have to do a tap and then slide to get the volume down whilst before it was one press of a button. This usually requires me to look away form what I'm doing. It's definitely a step back in terms of UX. It was perfect before the touchbar.

Thanks for pointing that feature out though. Have replaced Siri with the play button :)

Edit: Just playing around with this a bit more I noticed the expanded view now has all the normal icons. Either I missed it before or I changed something. Is there a way to make the expanded view the default?
I work at a German company, we give very specific verbal feedback after every interview (I did it many times). Just because lawyers recommend against it does not mean you cannot do it.
I roll my eyes so hard at people who say "well our network is secured, so it can insecure on the inside" I'm surprised I don't have a repetitive stress injury by now. It shows a shocking lack of foresight and is honestly insanely unprofessional. This is the exact same kind of opinions that lead to just about every major data breach in recent memory.

Secure everything, and assume that everything is compromised. Anything less is downright negligent.
To be honest, investing in a whole studio setup for remote work seems to go against one of the biggest perks of remote work itself: freedom.

Stock is usually good enough. That money is better invested on a pair of comfortable headphones, and also some good on-the-go light headphones with micro to hold remote calls outside of a quiet environment.
I get what you are saying, but sometimes there may not be any useful feedback to give. Lets say you just don't like the candidate personally or think they aren't a good culture fit, feedback might be hard to give without just hurting someone's feelings.
I noticed there are very few black people and none with very dark skin. But there are lots of people of many other ethnicities. Was dark skin avoided because it's inherently harder for the algorithm?
Ask HN: How are you filing W2, W4, or 1099 this tax season?
If you are an American, you know that it's currently tax season, which means it time to do a lot of boring paperwork to get your returns. In other countries, you may just get a refund straight up, or just the exact paperwork that you must mail in, but us Americans do not have that, and so there are many different ways of completing the same task. I'm writing this because I am very curious of the ways other people may use to complete their tax filing early, or just faster than others. Also, a lot of tax filing services advertise around this time, and while federal tax filing is required to be free by law, some people may not know that, and end up pressured to pay for some of these services. I'd like to use this time to collect some information for future reference when tax season comes around again.

Bonus points if the service you use is privacy fulfilling, and does try to make money off of free users by selling information about that user.
95th percentile for an SAT score is something like 1450. That's fairly impressive to me. Feels like scoring higher might often have more to do with effort than ability.

Is that excluded from the line of thought in the blog post because it's among "people who regularly practice?"

Or is it that effort vs ability thing? Not impressive because you were born smart?

In a totally "no effort" arena, 95th percentile height for a 19 year old US male is 6 feet, 2 inches. Does that feel unusual/impressive or "not that good?" I imagine it brings plenty of life benefits.
I think the real underlying issue (said elsewhere in this comment section) is that Tesla accidentally turned FSD on when recertify the car and their internal processes reconciled the mistake by turning it off, rather than eating the mistake.

Or the car got an OTA update for the tranche without FSD, because that system had it as non-fsd.
Arguably software engineering compared to engineering in a broader sense has a bigger issue with the “we did this because we could, not because we should” attitude.

I feel like a “formalised ethical code” would result in more clever approaches of avoiding it. We don’t need to look far to find the examples (looking at ya ad tech)
>> I still fail to see why people need to build an entire application twice, once on the server, and again on the client

I fully agree, and this is why I can’t understand why in 2020, some people still don’t understand that react/SPA and node backend for server side rendering are the best solution.

With react and server-side rendering you code your front end only once, of course. And the same codebase can be rendered on the server or on the client transparently. Same JS libraries can be used in the server, in the browser, in mobile apps with react native.

There is just the API on one side, and the frontend on the other side. Where the frontend is rendered does not matter.

Somewhat off topic, but I've thought this would be quite a useful thing to do just for helping my focus while working, kind of like having a permanant rubber duck.

Has anyone ever had experience of "live coding" at a company, and if so, how do you manage things like, not broadcasting a database secret, etc.

Are there any examples of companies letting people record their work? I remember a lot of videos floating around about "a day in the life at X" style things.

Not GP. It really depends on the device in my experience. My Denon system has seconds of lag over Bluetooth, enough to even make the volume slider on the phone annoying to use. On the other hand, my wireless headphones from Sony have as far as I can tell zero discernable lag. Both used from the same Android phone.
Interesting. I have an Acer Swift 1 with passive cooling and just the integrated Intel graphics, and it seems to run a couple of degrees hotter when I've got an external monitor connected. Not so much that it worries or bothers me, I just think it's kind of strange.

That's an arrest. Arrest does not mean you go to jail. You're taken in for questioning for up to 24-48 hours at which point you must be further charged or released.

Hey, uhm not arresting people for drugs is probably because they are in the pocket of drug dealers or politicians who are in the pocket of dealers.

Anyways sheriffs do shady things all the time, like money seizures and home foreclosures and tenet eviction. All of which are typically tied to shady business practices, unethical eviction, robber baron rent hikes.

Not sure about most of the US (well I kind of am) but in New York that is how it is. Everything is corrupt when elections and money and power is involved and sometimes the wrong people have injustice strikes against them.

Unfortunately public elections don’t mean much as to convince a populous of people to elect the right way is an impossible task by two fold.

A) any candidate you elect will have to succumb to tradition and president set by the office previously, especially when finances are considered.

B) even if the running platform is maintained getting a candidate who can do such and getting the populous to back the candidate will be an arduous task.
Sure, but it is just about leaving it connected. Your car will jump start fine like that anyway. I take it you don't lose your battery on the highway :)
Oh Jesus, it is like one of those Cronenberg movies.
That is true. One way this happens is when somebody tries to progress very quickly, emulating best players, without putting time to understand the basic mechanics of the game.

A good player will be able to adapt their gameplay because they can more or less predict what will happen when they alter the gameplay and/or they can evaluate how their change influenced the result.

A stuck player who skipped basic training may be able to imitate a complicated strategy to some extent but will fail miserably when they change anything and won't be able to evaluate results. They are effectively trained to do one thing from a subset of skills of a pro player and not being able to transition through a valley of failure from their local maximum.

Been using Mac primarily since 2011 and sad to see everything keep declining with Apple's software and hardware quality. When programming an app and its backend with react native/clojure my 2015 Mac Pro gets way too hot and slow.

Just built a Ryzen 3600 desktop with 32 gigs of RAM for about 1/4th the price as the cheapest 16 inch Macbook. Windows with WSL2 has been extremely good and I'm satisfied with my development environment. Key things were disabling automatic updates via group policy, setup autohotkey to keep all my MacOS keybindings, use X410 to display emacs and using the new windows terminal. Development is super fast, compilation is fast, git is fast, everything just works. Attempted to switch with WSL1 awhile a year ago or so and while it was okay, I wasn't very happy with it.

My mac just sits there now mainly being a coaster until I need to test iOS builds.
iMovie, Adobe Premier, Final Cut Pro, and Screenflow (screen casting software) all have chromakey.

The Zoom app, and the Logitech C922, each have live background replacement ("virtual green screen").

For post-production without a physical green screen, you can use a green rectangle as your virtual background in Zoom or with the Logitech, import into iMovie etc., and chromakey there.
Welp. This is the point I checkout. You do you, but I have to ask. Do you have any production experience[1] and/or hiring experience? Because you have a very fundamental misunderstanding of both, and I find it very hard to believe that someone who has written even trivial applications would think that not having sql injection is an extra requirement or is going to take too much time, or anyone in hiring position is not going to politely terminate the interview after someone claims their assignment has an sql injection but that's because they didn't have much time and it wasn't explicitly asked for, or even consider calling someone for in-person eval when their assignment has an sql injection.

[1] There is a lot wrong with your "improvements". db calls aren't randomly placed in try/catch - that will be absurd. And the None checks aren't there because of something which you can very clearly see in the sample code but you also very clearly don't understand.
The Changsha HSR-airport maglev is actually useful, but is very much a local transit option. It still doesn’t go into the city, but I’ve had to make that connection before. The Shanghai maglev doesn’t connect to anything more than a subway station.

NYC to Chicago is also through one of the continental divides in the US (as well as some fairly densely populated areas). You're only going to get so fast. And even if you could get a trip down to 8 hours or so (which is less than half of the current time), how many people will routinely do that vs. a couple hour flight?

>Nobody flies between cities in one state

With some exceptions. Probably most notably SF to LA although there are probably other smaller in-state city pairs that are a long drive from each other especially in the western US.

This is the biggest “meme” about angular and it’s so unbelievable wrong. It shows that you haven’t used the framework if you think all the choices are made for you.

Instead of spending all my time analyzing different open source packages for every single thing you do, you just have access to a first class supported solution.

IMO, lots of the react ecosystem is built on engineers trying to show off. They get fancy coming up with a solution, writing a unique library, and there’s no reason for this. Everyone likes to think their code is unique and special and great, but it’s not. We don’t need to reinvent the wheel all the time. So many of these apps are going to need to be rewritten in a couple years because of how poorly architected they are. That’s not a problem of react, but it’s a problem of react devs who take a small view library then build a framework on top of it.
As a manager, I really like having a few people in the US and a few in Asia. (Our core team is in London).
