So because you had a bad experience on one Microsoft product, all of the tech industry has poor user interface design?

Microsoft, Apple, Facebook, Google, etc. all have some of the best user designs created for technology. They have teams of researchers, psychologists, and designers working together to do this.

Have you heard of the auto industry doing anything remotely similar on this scale? Instead, they push away much better alternatives offered by Apple and Google for their own proprietary solution no customers asked for.

I also imagine the appropriate times to wash hands means there is no tap and soap or accessing these means increasing exposure.

We don't work in hospitals.

At home I see little point in washing hands, once covid-19 is in the house it's to late.

It's more important to stop it before it enters the home.

Haha sorry, I'll replace that with the word Apple in the future.
Did they not leave a voicemail? Was there no transcription? How'd you end up getting the info?
Very cool! Tangentially related, I looked into reimplementing `codesign` in Rust while I was at Mozilla. We wanted to see if we could take Apple hardware out of the loop for our release process after we had switched Mac Firefox builds to cross-compile from Linux. I got a bunch of code written and I'm pretty sure I could have made it work if I had gotten the go-ahead to spend time on it but then we heard about notarization and decided it wasn't worth the effort since Apple was going to require us to use their service anyway.

> I was brought up to work diligently, not take on debt, and save - a simple approach to building wealth

This is a lie told to the lower class to have them work like slaves. That's not how wealth is generated anywhere on earth. Wealth is created by "luck" ( finding oil, discoveries, stealing/confiscating, etc ) or using capital ( inherit it, borrow it, steal it, whatever ) to hire others to generate value and give those "others" as small a piece of the generated value as possible ( without the others turning on you ) and keeping the rest for yourself ( aka wealth ).

Imagine you and your 3 brothers make 10 pizza pies. If you can get them to take 1 pie each and you keep 7 pies, you just generated wealth. Congratulations.

> but I'm concerned that will put me at a disadvantage under an economic system with negative rates.

If you have to ask "How to prosper under negative interest rates?", then you are already disadvantaged and nothing is likely to change that. Negative interest rates, positive interest rates, it really doesn't matter for the average joe. Why not just live your life instead of worrying about things outside of your control? Ultimately, it all balances out. Sure, your savings account might not pay decent interest, but your mortgage or student loan interests will be lower.
Some carriers may have the ability to limit calls to customers based on attestation level. Customer could configure they only want to receive i.e "A" attested calls. This means the carrier from where the call originated knows that the customer who made the call owns the number they dialed from.

> being interconnected would make the world smarter and democratize knowledge. All that may be true, it may be out there, but it's damn hard to find.

Wikipedia does a damn fine job in my opinion. You can find decent, democratized knowledge on almost any topic complete with translation into your preferred language (if not on wiki, then through google translate). Or efforts like MIT's open course ware, which hosts lectures and syllabus materials on a variety of topics. There's also arxiv derivatives and a thriving black market (scihub, libgen, etc) of open access to research papers on any topic you'd like. Social media =/ the internet.
This mean that your soil is just rich enough in Nitrogen yet

Therefore Zucchini grows as kelp, as usual, but beans just so-so. They will still yield but will not develop nodules.

You could find useful to rotate parcels and put the beans in the old soil, not in the freshly enriched this year.

Fraud becomes harder because unauthorized impersonation of someone else's number becomes illegal and is (hopefully) technically prevented.

Because of this, you can just blacklist spammers again, and burner numbers for them become harder to come by.
It's not about minimizing points of failure, it's about removing singular points of failure. Perhaps "redundant" was the wrong word but the point is instead of having a single UI component (touchscreen/UI thread) which can cause the whole system to fail, if you group buttons/knobs into individual microservices they are unlikely to all go down simultaneously.
I’ve been paying for Vonage for 10-15 years now so I can keep my old landline phone number active to give out to businesses. Haven’t had a phone hooked up to it for nearly all that time. Voicemail + transcription works great.

"I think that it’s extraordinarily important that we in computer science keep fun in computing. When it started out it was an awful lot of fun. Of course the paying customers got shafted every now and then and after a while we began to take their complaints seriously. We began to feel as if we really were responsible for the successful error-free perfect use of these machines. I don’t think we are. I think we’re responsible for stretching them setting them off in new directions and keeping fun in the house."

Yea, you still probably don't know what that number is. This just prevents spoofing, not the calls themselves.
Off-topic, but your sentence made me realize a useful difference between "lawful" and "legal". I first read "legal" as "relating to matters of law" rather than "lawful", and then realized you meant the latter. Now I see why the word "lawful" might be used!

Regarding your actual reply, though, that basically means we shouldn't really hold our breaths for this to actually stop calls? :\ Just less fraud, which is nice, but from the only thing that makes these calls such a nuisance.
A very good thought, but I don't think all feeds are equal. A strictly chronological feed under user control is a wonderful thing. I have that, for example, in my RSS reader. What sucks is the popularity-contest nature of most feeds. At the top of my Facebook or Twitter or Google News feed is a bunch of stuff that I think is crap, any semi-sensible algorithm could tell that it's crap, it shouldn't be shown to me anywhere. Meanwhile, content from my actual friends or people who I have demonstrated interest in is pushed way down or all the way out. All because of popularity and some very misguided notions of engagement. Bad feeds ruined the internet.

I actually do think likes, stars, upvotes, whatever you want to call them are valuable forms of feedback. I like specific reactions - love, laughter, anger - even better. But I do wonder what it would be like if those only went to the poster. If they weren't shown to anyone else, and didn't affect what was shown to anyone else. I suspect that it would make "the feed" a usable model again, instead of the abomination it has become.

Nim is a relatively small programming language that uses a Pythonic style of syntax. It adds some features that make it better suited to systems development, like type safety and better performance. It can be compiled using a few backends, to eg C or JavaScript.

Nim recently hit 1.0 and has grown a lot of the years, but it still isn't particularly common to see in industry. You can see some Nim related projects on GitHub: https://github.com/topics/nim

I used it to write a few things/just play around with in the pre-1.0 days, and found it quite nice to write and easy to read.

Regarding your question about numerical analysis and Python, this post touches on using Nim for tasks that you might reach for numpy for: http://rnduja.github.io/2015/10/21/scientific-nim/

This one has a brief comparison of Nim and Python + numpy: https://narimiran.github.io/2018/05/10/python-numpy-nim.html

Note that both are for pre-1.0 Nim.

If the government bands big companies from acquiring smaller companies, what incentives do investors of smaller companies have?

You seem to not understand what the term "representative" means. Or notice the circular logic implicit in your argument.

You mean the last several posts of yours, where you've said it repeatedly, that you're now hilariously trying to backpeddle? You're welcome to re-read your posts. And the quotes I have of your posts, claiming racial slurs aren't so bad, and diverse hiring is worse.

> And lastly, trying to equate harboring different opinions on affirmative action in employment to being a leader in the KKK is really not called for.

It's not that the opinions you expressed are different, it's that they're repugnant. There's a difference.
Just FYI, you can disable that notification:

Snow Crystals (2019)
In even earlier days, applications didn't need to be installed at all. You just ran them from wherever they were. Of course, it made sense to store them somewhere together, and you could cause yourself problems if you put applications onto disks you then ejected. But the current system is clearly influenced by the UNIX underpinnings, and I'm not sure that the average user fully "gets it".

though preferences files were a bit of a mess.

I vaguely remember if early Macintosh System versions you would be prompted to insert the disk (with the correct disk name in the message) if you tried to open a file belonging to an application which was on an ejected disk.
There are people who choose not to drive. If you have never had a license, there is nothing to renew. Then there are people who do not qualify for a driver's license (e.g. medical reasons).

Heck, I've lived most of my (middle-aged) life without ID and probably haven't used it in the past three years.
Right, but I guess I'm asking, are plans for this in the works? Because currently I'm not aware of anything like this, nor of any plans to implement anything like this. None of the announcements suggest it might be happening either, so that's why I'm lost as to what the end-user experience would be.
Apparently DarkSky does use the NOAA data, whereas Apple was pulling data from The Weather Company, now part of IBM.

"IBM purchased the Weather Co. in 2016 and sells weather data to, among others, Apple, for its weather app. The purchase could signal that Apple will develop its own weather model rather than continue to use IBM-derived data, or it may indicate that Apple, too, liked the design of the app."

If the government wants people to have something, the government should provide it, and provide it to everyone.

Does the government want people to have healthcare? Then the government should pay for it, not require employers to pay for it. If the government wants people to have paid leave or a pension, then they should pay for that too.

Imagine if we tied other benefits to employment. Maybe the government could require your company buy you a car and dinner every night. People need transportation and food, right? So lets make employers provide it! It's free for the government and legislators get to feel virtuous for providing it, when actually they have just offloaded their costs to someone else.

It's madness. The government should provide these things, and employers should focus on whatever it is they do best -- not being a healthcare provider.
As long as there's no spoofing, shared client-side software-level blacklists (i.e. the same "adblocking" we do elsewhere) can handle the rest.

It would solve 99% of the problem just to be able to block all the calls that either 1. originate directly in other countries, or 2. that originate from number-ranges leased to carriers known to exist solely for the purpose of leasing numbers to VoIP/softphone/"app calling" providers; or 3. that originate from numbers that refer to the PBXes of companies whose business is to proxy foreign numbers to appear as local numbers. (Heck, once there's no more spoofing, we'll notice how big of a problem those are, and we'll probably get a law against them.)
Why would you need to look at historical data? I'm sure other places provide it as well; it's available in the web-interface of AccuWeather and many other services, too, for example.
> they deprecated their entire networking stack without providing a suitable replacement

It was their second networking stack already, and both have had been ridden with problems. Last stack's still open sourced on BitBucket, and you can choose it as a starting point for your networking stack,.

Some promises, like what Unity networking was trying to achieve - a hassle-free real-time game mulitplayer without dedicated servers - are just not achievable, and your customers are better off if you admit it. It's much worse when you buy into marketing hype and start discovering structural problems that require total rewrite close to the release.

I worked with Unity since 2009, and in 2017/2018 implemented a custom multiplayer solution for an open-world RPG game without a dedicated server. Which was originally written on that exact stack. Never had a worse burnout in my life.
Complain about it online. /s
Such a solution presents a bit of a challenge though, given that you'd be 1) broadcasting a security issue, and 2) possibly compounding it by presenting your audience with some really disagreeable news.

I can at least see why they'd hesitate to leave things up, depending on the anticipated risk and likelihood of addressing it in reasonable time.

Edit: Downvote if it makes you feel better, but this is really how groups execute on problems like this without taking time away from other important projects. "Security issue? Extensive fixes needed? Take it down!"
> But to just destroy information, information about your own product, is…well, it's stupid. Profoundly so.

From a purely historical/retrocomputing point of view, I'm really disappointed IBM took the legacy Library Server site offline.

It was full of fascinating detritus... old OS/2 manuals, various ancient layered products that IBM dreamed up once upon a time back in the 1990s or early 2000s and which never went anywhere (DDM, DCE, etc)...

Why couldn't they just donate the contents to archive.org or something like that, if they don't want to host it anymore?

At least they still have the offering information site online – https://www-01.ibm.com/common/ssi/ – full of product announcements from the 1980s. To pick some random examples:

https://www-01.ibm.com/common/ssi/ShowDoc.wss?docURL=/common...

Sadly, I'm sure sooner or later the old stuff from there will be gone too.

What competition? Is it “monopolistic” every time that any company buys a smaller company instead of developing it in house?
Instead of thinking of advertising as "technology" you might want to look into the military-esque research that brought it into the free market. Just like the internet, psyops was first destructed and formalized by people that value information over influence. As only one will beget the other with any statistical certainty.
I am of the opinion that company PC is company PC and it has a right to monitor what is going on there.

But I also think employers should be responsible to ensure employees are notified of the scope of possible monitoring. Some people are absolutely clueless.

It is not that difficult, really. My company says whatever I do is subject to monitoring and there is no expectation of privacy. It also says, "Please, don't use it for anything that is not related to work".

We live in times when you can have a PC in your pocket, there is absolutely no need to do private business on company PC.
I once used a phone flashlight to paint light in a long-exposure photo of an object, to get the specular highlights right (because I didn't have access to decent lighting otherwise). Basically I wiggled the phone around in the areas where I wanted lights to be, while another camera took a 15sec exposure.

Apps should prompt me for my permission to share any analytics data if they want to claim that they are "private-by-default". It would be nice if FullStory also provided first-class example UIs to app developers to help them correctly obtain user consent while locally buffering tracking events in the background.

I helped build a product for site owners that automatically quarantines tracking events (including FullStory) for replay with consent at a later time[1]. This product enables sites to include scripts with potentially risky privacy implications like FullStory without ever having to worry about unconsensual PII data emissions. Blog post coming soon!

The same way USPS is funded by junk mail, a large volume of Telecoms' voice calls is likely robo-caller spam. Still I would have thought either Verizon or AT&T could come up with a competitive advantage of, you know, "the number that comes up on caller ID is authenticated to actually be the person paying for that phone number"

The spoofed caller ID to match your local area code has landed on people in my contact list, and it was extremely jarring to think "why is my best friend's mom calling me out of the blue" and get offered a discount cruise by a robot.
LogRocket (~2016) is much younger than FullStory (2012) - as an aside, though, I didn't find their UIs to be that similar.

FullStory feels like its UI has certainly received more thought and care over time, whereas LogRocket is full of lots of new bells and whistles, but they're still sorting out how to put the experience together elegantly. LogRocket has this problem because they're building features so quickly (though I'm sure a couple good UI/UX hires could help with the UI keeping pace with features).

Agreed on price, by the way! We were happy with the FullStory product and don't utilize LogRocket's additional dev tools, but switched to LogRocket due to cost.
I wish i saw more of these one-off creative creations on a regular basis. Is there a reason why this is not a "Show:hn"?
Ah I see, well Chargebee would give a UI where the user can change from 3 -> 5 (pro-ration if they're in the middle of a cycle, generating invoices, scheduling the change in the future if desired, etc). But how 5 instead of 3 licenses actually impacts your product, they don't help there, they just tell you, OK this user has paid for 5 licenses now.
I can only speak for one carrier, and the answer as of this moment is no. Pretty much everyone is struggling to meet the FCCs aggressive timelines and do interoperability testing with each other. After that is done, maybe. I'm sure the FCC has upcoming requirements based on this, but to my knowledge those aren't out yet. If the FCC doesn't make additional requirements, then it will depend on the carrier's decision. I'm under the assumption that they will introduce those additional requirements though.
