I think there's too much selection bias for this analogy to be particularly strong.

Digital cameras are increasingly a niche product that exist mainly to cater to people who specifically want a the "SLR" user experience. If you just want to take decent enough photos, your smartphone's camera today is better than most prosumer DSLRs from like five years ago.

I don't think today's DSLRs have the form factor that they have because it's objectively more usable. It's just the form factor that their self-selected customers want. One piece of evidence in favor of that is that all DSLRs do have big LCD screens on the back and often require a lot of menu diving to access any functionality that didn't exist in cameras before the digital revolution.

There's still a physical dial for switching modes even though that's not something you actually change that often. Meanwhile you often have to dig into a menu or go through crappy buttons to do things like delete a photo.

I won't go so far as to describe it as fetishization, because I think that's unfairly critical. But I do think a camera UX designed from first principles purely for usability would not have the same physical controls as a typical DSLR.

If you're a linux user for that long you've probably got experience updating CLI utilities. That's all that's required here, simply installing a new openSSH.

I recently made the transition (from ~10yrs Linux) to Mac and it was really smooth. At the end of the day it's just a Unix system with a really nice looking Window Manager and lots of supported apps. If you don't like the included version of SSH, just use a different one, same as linux.
I will defend the screen in the Tesla 3, the simple fact is that you really never have to use on your typical drive and yes muscle memory works for simple UIs like what the Tesla employs.

Compared to 40+ buttons in my previous Volt AND a screen. Many cars have that many or more buttons and this is easier? Where screen's become distracting is when the UI is shit, having more than one or two clicks to do anything, and worse duplicating features there are physical buttons for but naturally distract the driver who thinks they should use that screen.

From automatic headlamps, climate control, and wipers, I really have no reason to interact with the screen except as glances while I do the standard look around while driving.

My favorite test... put a sticky on every button and only remove one if you truly had to use the function. bonus points for not having to remove the sticky to find out what the button did.

I gotta say... I got a Fit in 2007, pre-ordered before they were available, and at 300k+ miles it's doing great. The guy at the oil change place literally turned his eyes to the heavens and said that he couldn't find any service to recommend. He'd never seen a car of such age that clean; it should surely be leaking something.

I've heard Honda has gone downhill in the last decade, and my next car probably won't be a Honda. But at this rate, my next car will drive itself. (Especially since I'm no longer putting miles on it at the rate that got me to 300k in a decade.)

That doesn’t sound right. How big are the changes you’re reviewing?
At least in the US models of the Fit there's no difference in the interior trim levels. I think part of the confused nature of this discussion is that Honda never shipped the touch-only dashboard that this article is talking about in the US market. The Fit and as far as I have seen every model Honda sells in the US has always had real knobs and switches for the climate controls. The touch climate controls were available in Japan and elsewhere.

but we're not having deflation. With fewer and fewer people working, there's less and less supply with even larger demand, now that they're printing money like never before. As a result, we're going to get really really serious inflation of over 2%, 3%, maybe even more than 3%.

It doesn't sound like much because we've become innured to it. But, it's really bad. Just think, you earned 100K in 1 year and 1 year later it's only worth 97K. That's a tax of 3K just for holding on to your money, on top of all the taxes that already exist (Govt spending is 40% of GDP ~ and that's just nationwide.)

After just 20 years of 3% inflation, your money is worth half of what it was when you earned it. What's the point of government if they can't even provide a stable currency? Is the expectation that everyone must now buy equities and real estate? Are we to go back to bartering?
Buying it during a housing market bubble is - you can't effectively tell if the bubble will pop or keep growing.
This is a really good time to start a business. Established competition will be struggling because their spending is based on "normal" business but their revenues got hit. When the lockdown stops there's going to be a spending surge (because everyone has been forced to save for months).
As someone who has used a variety of VTC products (Zoom, Webex, BlueJeans, Teams, Skype, etc.) for several years on a daily basis (lots of external VTCs with different companies who use different VTC systems), Zoom is by far the best. The audio and video quality is head and shoulders above the rest (both on PC and mobile) and the interface is dead simple for even the least tech-savvy users.

My company uses Zoom, and there have been many instances where, during a VTC call set up by someone at another company (that doesn’t use Zoom), we have switched mid-meeting to Zoom because there’s something wrong with the other VTC system (someone can’t join, can’t hear, can’t speak, can’t share their screen, etc.). And the other options haven’t gotten noticeably better over the years either.
Welcome to the central failure of the CFAA: Hacking attempts should be treated as a normal part of life, and systems should be designed to resist hacking, but the law gets this exactly backwards. In a saner legislative setting, hacking would be like harmful radio wave interference, something which is both punishable in a court of law but also which devices are designed to consider in the course of normal operation.
>The use case I was referring too is where the VPN is between e.g. your corporate network and your pc when working from home. In this case the VPS doesn't need to see the unencrypted traffic.

Your corporate IT should be providing you with VPN access directly to your corporate network. You should not be using a private VPN in addition to using your corporate VPN when working.

A VPN on a VPS would be ONLY for personal use (unless of course you are self-employed, the business owner, an independent contractor, etc.).

I would review your IT policy, you are probably breaching your policy if you are using a company owned machine to connect to your private VPN on a VPS.
> "It's fairly common now for cars to have configuration settings like: the number of seconds that the courtesy lights stay on after locking the car. This is a feature that would never need to be operated while the vehicle is in motion, and likely wouldn't be configured more than once by any given owner."

Features like that could be implemented as dipswitches/etc hidden in a compartment under the hood, or not at all. The "configuration screen with a gazillion tweakable settings" thing has generally fallen out of favor in desktop and mobile software, and I expect the car industry will eventually catch up.
I run a Sapphire pulse RX 5700 XT on Windows 10. My only issue was an old driver was causing crashes on a very specific, very niche game, but that was fixed weeks before I actually went to play the game, and wouldn't have known about had I kept my driver up to date, ie, it was an issue for a very short time and I'm impressed by AMD's responsiveness to a small indie.

There seems to be large variance in the different 5700XTs. Some of the third party ones don't have adequate cooling and quite literally cannot meet their intended specifications, like the ASUS TUF line.

I have no idea how well it works on Linux
I can't either, in fact all 10+ of the hosts that I routinely access have ports higher than OPs issue.
> how are you doing this exactly?

A master node negotiates a symmetric key that lasts for the duration of the call. The master is either selected by the server or in round of Paxos, and since everybody has the same key, if he leaves it just needs a new round of negotiation.
GPS in the camera is handy for auto-tagging the location of the photos. Which is nice for when on trips.
I agree. I read it in English and even though I felt some of the punchlines, for the most part I had no idea why they were supposed to be funny. I assume a lot of it is cultural references.

Catch-22 is great though. Dystopic and hilarious at the same time.
My 2007 Honda already has voice controls. Never use them.
"True Open-Source Alternative to Visual Studio Code" misleadingly implies VScode isn't Open Source. Flagging the article.

There is no 'true' Open Source. There is software that meets the OSD, and software that does not. VScode is Open Source.
It might just be the car. Unless I invoke the onboard voice recognition, my Altima essentially behaves as a Bluetooth headset powered by internal combustion, and Siri is as usable that way as via the phone's own speakers and mic.

That said, I wouldn't be surprised if that were heavily dependent on the quality of the car's audio system, though; I went for the best available trim package, figuring that if I had to go back to owning a car again then it might as well at least be as comfortable as I could manage, and I might not have so good an experience here if I had economized a bit more.
I agree that is part of my argument. People certainly treat money as if it should be a time-independent measure of effort. Is there another objective metric that you can imagine money representing?

I do not think it makes sense to insist that money can only ever be subjective based on the possibility that transients can occur - eg a factory burning down does cause natural price inflation, but this is an exception rather than the rule.
For me, there's a distinction between accessing information you have not been authorised to access, and doing something unauthorised with data you had authorised access to.

Thats why I don't agree with the article that contrasts the Facebook/Power Ventures case with the hiQ Labs case. These are fundamentally different. Power Ventures was using Facebook Users credentials to log on to facebook and I think thats a clear case of unauthorised access. Facebook had no direct relationship with Power Ventures and had not granted them access to those accounts at all.

In the hiQ Labs case they had legitimate access to LinkedIn and were just scraping publicly viewable information. It's jut that LinkedIn didn't like what they were doing with it.

Of course the SSA database access case from 2010 is an anomaly in this aspect. The user was authorised to access the data if doing so in the course of his work, and I think the police case from 2015 was ruled correctly. In both case they're reprehensible creeps, but they should be prosecuted as creeps, not as hackers.
Voice control maybe works for folks in silicon valley but it is very lacking in quality for smaller languages or even non-existent
Yeah, that’s what I hate about taking pictures with their iPhone, the lack of a tactile button for taking the shot. It’s especially bad when you have to photograph without a view of the screen.

The onus should be on the service operators to clearly define what's authorized and what isn't; and if they miss something, the liability should be borne by the service operator, not the person who found their gap.
Personally, I could believe it. However, that would basically amount to "if you stay at home in your apartment, the person sharing the same ventilation system can infect you", so I don't think authorities will be willing to admit it's true.
What I'm talking about is how to effectively saturate multiple CPU cores in mixed IO+CPU-bound workloads, e.g. compiling/parsing, OLAP data-analysis/reporting workloads, etc.

Javascript's primitives get you 1. the ability to cooperatively multitask within each thread, and 2. the ability to copy data between threads, but this is, in the end, just what you get from a pure NUMA (e.g. GPGPU, DSP) architecture.

There is a reason that multicore UMA CPUs exist; there is a (very large) niche of workloads they specialize in. JS cannot currently saturate CPUs in such workloads.

See, in your own link, the n-body and regex-redux benchmarks. These are examples of workloads that actually take advantage of the kind of memory-sharing / "message passing carrying reference handles" IPC that multicore UMA CPU architectures are designed to accelerate. Note V8's core saturation on these workloads.

The kind of workloads that can currently be parallelized in Node, are the exact kind of workloads that are better run off-CPU anyway, in cards like GPUs or FPGAs dedicated to the niche of pure-NUMA workloads.
You can actually sanitize and re-use masks by baking them at relatively low temperatures.

"If your mask is not made of flammable material, Lin said, you can try putting it in an oven for 30 minutes at 158 degrees Fahrenheit, because the coronavirus is fragile. Doing so can kill off the virus, and “it doesn’t destroy the mask very much,” she said, adding that hanging the mask above a pot of boiling water for about 10 minutes could also help with killing off the virus, but it would need to be air-dried afterward."

I don't see how you can take any other view when we showed up to work after being put under quarantine. From the article it doesn't seem like he disputes the claim, he just implies that they wouldn't have fired him if he wasn't organizing a strike. If you're running a massive shipping operation with hundreds of thousands of employees and millions of customers you should be taking steps to guarantee their safety. Beyond Amazon, the US could not afford to have the company shut down because of a COVID-19 infection spreading through their fulfillment centers. It seems ridiculous to say that he could show up to work despite being put on quarantine. Maybe there are missing facts in the case, but with that information I think most people would defend Amazon's actions.

You don't have to have that open of a mind. I was angry at macOS because I didn't have good window management, but it was really easy to install a third party utility to do so.

I use Amethyst which is much easier to setup than my old Linux WMs. There are also tools like Yabai which are more customizable.
I for one will be really glad if this sparks and industry wide trend to go back to buttons and shift levers rather than buttons or levers that aren't actually good.

> What's weird about mounting propellers at the end of the wing is that you lose half the lift of the propeller wash over the wing, over a normal placement.

They're generating lift at low speeds by using the array of small motors, and then optimizing the wing for cruise lift. It's really brilliant. And it'll result in better handling in turbulence too. Frankly I'm stunned at the direction they've gone here, it's really remarkable and is a major shift in approach to aerodynamics that has huge implications across the industry.
It's also clear that Amazon has the data. If they do not choose to share it, that itself would become a form of data.

- How many employees did they quarantine in that facility?

- Were all employees exposed to the original worker quarantined?

- How long after exposure--i.e. was Smalls later, or were others quarantined at (roughly) the same time?

- Who makes the call to quarantine workers, and what discretion do they have?

I don't necessarily expect Amazon to have all those facts available immediately. I do think that they must provide them if they wish to have any credibility.
An an ex-OpenVPN user, I consider the ability of the server to push arbitrary scripts to the client an antifeature and a security problem that needs to be carefully mitigated every time.
I agree with you. My point, if it wans't clrear, is that I think correct naming is a prerequisite to finding design flaws in review ! Hence we have the same ultimate goal :-)

Man is a creature no different from a beaver. Why is a manmade structure any different from a beaver? You say fences encompass large swaths of land. Well then, certainly a coral reef is a blight on the earth, since it is much larger than most manmade partitions and imposed on the land by animals, the same as man.
“Union busting” is a pretty vague term. There’s no legal issue with a company hating unions or trying to prevent a union from forming, as long as they don’t prevent employees from talking or retaliate against them for it.

Touchscreens that are huge are somewhat less of an issue because tap targets are much bigger. But most non-luxury vehicles come with 7 or 8 inch screens, so tap targets are small/clustered. Layer on that the fact that many screens aren't capacitive (and instead require a certain amount of pressure from your finger/fingernail), and things get even more annoying/dangerous.
No. The purpose of a name is to convey meaning to the reader. There is exactly one valid complaint about a name: “I’ve read this carefully and I still don’t know what it means.”

A standards-compliant name that interferes with understanding is not okay. A name everyone gets, which happens to not follow a rule in some rulebook, is probably fine.

You're welcome, maybe you won't demand features from a tool that's obviously not made for your needs. Hell, maybe you'll consider forking the project, renaming it and implementing the feature you seek instead of being passive-aggressive.
I think my comment addresses this, but perhaps you were replying to an earlier version, or perhaps I wasn't clear enough. What you posted was trending towards flamewar, even though you didn't intend it that way. Telling moderators to "step in and moderate" isn't sufficient to solve this problem. For one thing, we don't come close to seeing all the material that gets posted—there's far too much. We do step in, but we also need users like you to understand the problem a bit differently. If you're going to comment on an inflammatory topic, you need to make sure your comment is substantive, i.e. contains solid information and not just grand claims. And you should be careful to narrow its scope explicitly to what the information supports. Fortunately that should also be enough to make it clear that your intent isn't just to post pejoratives about other people.
