Personally I think it's an awful idea. I just watched the promotional video that I expected to give some answers as to why this design decision was made and I frankly ended up even more worried.[1] I can accept that I'm somewhat of a luddite when it comes to this and I might be wrong, I just hope these are thoroughly tested and actually solve real world problems, and aren't just a way for Boeing to save money or solve the problem of "hey why aren't there any cool touchscreens in here".

> Lying or breaking TOS is different than hacking.

I think this is a good analogy: I accepted the terms, but I was lying. Sue me for lying then. TOS are not contracts for sure, as nobody is expected to actually read them and they aren't negotiatable.
That's true for most Macs, too: people are very prone to believing that their experience is universal rather than a hardware failure or local configuration issue.
It depends on what you mean by "WebRTC". There's the mobile/native library (at webrtc.org) and the standard (at https://www.w3.org/TR/webrtc/). The library does support it (although you have to write your own signaling and media forwarding server). The standard does not (yet). But it's being worked on ine the W3C (for example, Insertable Media Processing like this: https://www.w3.org/2019/09/18-mediaprocessing-harald-inserta... or something more low-level like this: https://github.com/WICG/web-codecs/blob/master/explainer.md).

But the web standard not being there yet doesn't prevent someone from making a mobile or desktop app with e2ee conferencing, like Duo does: https://support.google.com/duo/answer/9280240?hl=en.

(I used to work at Google on WebRTC, Duo, Hangouts, and WebCodecs, but now work on video calling at Signal).

I think the only way to beat vs code at this point is to implement IDE in a native language without GC. VSCode , eclipse etc can be very sluggish on large-ish projects, slow downs accumulate with code base size growth leading to usability problems, slow autocompletion etc.
This is better viewed as a sequencing thing that is easy to get wrong, whatever the operating system. I recall a similar thing on Windows, a couple of decades ago, fixed/reduced to much fanfare if memory serves correctly.
If you find setting up a build environment to change a few lines of code more reasonable than switching to software that wasn't so boneheaded as to hardcode the value in the first place, then good for you I guess. I personally don't have much patience for it.
Can someone explain the 'going brrrrr' meme to me?

I've seen it used in other contexts but can't quite fully grasp what is meant by it.
Touch controls have their place in the car - they are a MUST for a quick map navigation and they are very handy for entering addresses.

Otherwise - yes, 100%, physical buttons and knobs are far superior. Especially for making adjustments without looking.

No offense intended, but the sector as a whole has been doing all sorts of dumb sh*t recently when it comes on-board electronics (787 batteries, 737max MCAS, A380 wiring, F35 ... everything). This doesn't exactly refute OP's point, is all I'm saying. Maybe airspace firms shouldn't be taking their design cues from Cupertino.
It would make sense to pay tax, instead of contribute directly to research, if you only wanted 3% of the money to go to research.

What you’re really saying here is it’s wrong that some entities choose to direct more money to research than society does collectively, and they should defer to society’s decision to spend on other things instead.
My favorite lessons from Pragmatic Programmer
It's possible that Amazon fired the employee both for violating quarantine and out of retaliation, as the former would have provided legal cover for the latter.
Yes, thank you. I was thinking the exact same thing. I was positive I read an article last year about how Mazda was doing away with touchscreens. I think someone just pasted the Mazda article above.
I've been turning the dash light intensity almost all the way down for 30+ years. They've always been too bright. If the Tesla is as bright as you say, it would literally be undriveable for me at night. (No screens or touch in either of my 18-20 year old vehicles)
Apple should follow and ditch the Touch Bar. Also, the excellent The Best Interface is No Interface book [0] talks quite a bit about unnecessary touch screen controls in cars and related topics.

I think the MMI interface, in one specific generation (the one just before they introduced the touchscreen, where the four-corner buttons were dropped), has one big advantage: you learn the amount of clicks things are away.

It's been over a year since I had an Audi A3 with the system, but I still remember that going from anywhere to Android Auto would be pressing home, then just giving the wheel a big turn clockwise, then back one click counter-clockwise and confirm. You got used to the common operations, and you could do them blindly after a while. In a moving car, a touchscreen is almost always problematic because you need to see if your finger is going the right direction to compensate for car movements.

They ordered him under quarantine more than two weeks after he was exposed (outside of guidelines), and days after he stated he would be leading a strike.

It's not like the guy was violating a reasonable quarantine; he was violating a retaliatory silencing "quarantine" outside of guidelines.
Sure, but there are still tons of touchscreens in the cabin -- controlling the climate, the lighting, and the playback of the safety video.

What do you think is more likely, that after more than 2 weeks of not giving a shit about quarantining an employee, suddenly Amazon was worried about a 0.01% outlier of 27 days before symptoms showed, or that this was a retaliatory action for the worker attempting to organize a strike.

I sure know what I'd be placing a large amount of money on if I was a betting man.

Sigh.

I mean, congratulations to the founders of Dark Sky. It’s a wonderful app and they deserve all the money they’ll get from this and they deserve a lot of credit for not selling user data when almost every other weather app does. But shutting down the API and Android apps feels like an egregious move by Apple.

And I hope we actually see a good improvement to the Apple weather app as a result of this. I remember a few years ago Apple bought a fantastic public transit app (Embark?), shut it down and I still don’t think their Maps app comes close to the original transit app.

Vaguely topical thought: I wonder if we’re going to see a lot more of this. A large economic downturn means a lot of small, independent companies will struggle to survive. Being swallowed by a megacorp might be one of the few ways to keep something alive.
Geotagging on my X-T3 with the Camera remote Android app is very reliable to be honest. And you don't have to query the phone at the same rate as you're taking pictures, it's perfectly sane to assume the same location for 5-10 seconds during a burst.
I was just trying to make an illustrative example of why I think static interfaces are safer and therefore better, at the end of the day it comes down to subjectivity for the part of a positive user experience, but when it comes to safety the trend is, to me, worrying.

I also imagine that there are other reasons for both airliners and cars to replace buttons with touchscreens, namely that of cost instead of prioritizing safety and stability, and in general I am not a fan of that trade-off. But I'm also not claiming to be representative of the automobile market in general.
Outages?
Using this framework on top of kubernetes (which is itself another framework used to managed microservices) sounds like an operational nightmare. Kubernetes is already filled with operational pitfalls so adding more layers on top only increases complexity.

I think Go-Micro looks cool but I wouldn't suggest layering this much more than you already are. Complexity is death for distributed systems so minimizing complexity means maximizing reliability for the systems.
Reading your website I've understood that your customers need to send you a complete set of architectural plans and you use your software to generate the MEP plans. Currently I work in the construction field and I can already see some reluctance to send the architectural plans to a third party. How do you plan on addressing this? Some(most, at least around here) companies already have in house MEP consultants(and they would still need them to validate your designs, as per local laws).

Since your designs are mostly being made by algorithms without much need of human intervention, why not provide it as a SaaS? Allow the firms to generate their own designs while also allowing their in house consultants to validate the designs.

That being said I am really excited for your project and I wish you the best of luck. This is something I've being dreaming of for ages.
Lots of video conferencing systems already work this way (the SFU way). Compared to just sending the full resolution all the time, adding the smaller resolutions doesn't add that much bandwidth and compression because they are so much smaller.
This comment is off-topic: the article is about physical buttons for non-safety-critical systems. E.g. the article explicitly mentions climate control.

High-DPI is still a mess on Ubuntu (and Debian, for that matter). Last time I used Ubuntu on a 4k panel I had to manually edit some xorg config files. I'm using Debian+KDE right now and I had to manually make some adjustments (in a UI, at least) and it still randomly gets confused sometimes.
OpenBSD has almost a singular focus on security, and even they have vulnerabilities. If they can't write safe C 100% of the time, what hope does anyone else have?
It should not be the simple act of accessing a computer contrary to the owners terms and conditions that is a crime, but the specific acts of searching for, wilfully accessing and sharing privileged information on systems where the persons whose information you were accessing had a reasonable expectation that that information would be private.

I think that covers police databases, social security and also customer details on a website amongst others. It would not necessarily cover accidentally accessing customer data on a system (that happens) but if you started wilfully sharing that data or details about how to access it with persons other than the owners of the system then you could start to get into the problematic zone. To prevent the scenario where the owners just do nothing and then when the 'hacker' tells somebody else they call the cops and accuse, it should probably be a crime, after being notified that your system is leaking private data, that you didn't take any action to plug that hole.
One hopes the Oktas of the world had this figured out and this is more a problem when you host your own IDP.
Sure. (Thanks for asking.) It was one of the first things I learned when I started studying (self-)hypnosis. It's a simple way to have access to the unconsciousness without going into a trance.

There's really nothing to it. You induce a light trance and ask the unconscious mind to create a simple unambiguous yes-no signal. Finger motions are common. After that you can ask yourself questions and get y/n answers (or non-response, what I'm calling "mu", which indicates some issue with the phrasing or nature of the query.)

I should mention that you should be very careful about your self-model if you are experimenting with piercing the barrier between the conscious and unconscious minds. In computer terms, this signal corresponds to a kind of trans-mechanical oracle and having it available to your (metaphorical) Turing machine mind makes you into a fundamentally different kind of processor, operating by rules that may be unfamiliar.

I'm lucky not to experience such problems on my arch with my current machine, but I've run into these issues on my past machines. However, my graphic designer friend working on Windows (he needs Adobe cs and blender and therefore needs a good gpu in an affordable machine ruling out Macs) keeps on having this problem. Drives him nuts because he'll close the lid, pack the laptop in his backpack to go somewhere only to realise when taking it out that the laptop is close to being to hot to touch. On a 3k msi that's a few months old, it scares him to death ever time it happens, which is quite often. So I guess this is a harder problem than it seems !! I don't remember ever having this problem on my Mac.

It's a tongue in cheek reference to the Federal Reserve "running the printing presses", generating as much fiat as necessary to support the US and global economy.

Your condescending attitude is not necessary.

If you have it in a dense area and don't know it as your example, but are still out on occasion to get whatever critical supplies you may need, you would be likely exposing MORE people.

You're also assuming the destination has no cases at all and will never see any. Locals in these places often get supplies outside of their town. And yes, if people own homes there, you can't stop them.

Thank you, this is a very interesting topic to me. I remember ,when I was a kid in the 90s and had the Sound Blaster card, 1.0 or something quite cheap and in certain situations I would hear very similar but quiet interference on the headphones when there was no sound playing.
This is really, really disappointing. I've been pretty critical of Dark Sky at times for being mediocre for more than maybe 12 hours out, but for very short term forecasts it worked great. I spent a fair amount of time outdoors and getting a 30 minute heads-up for "drizzle" versus "heavy rain" was excellent and really let me time how long to stay outside for.

I'd really, really like a replacement on Android. While Wunderground could be it, it's unfortunately not. The app is heavy and crappy and ad-laden and weirdly non-nonsensical.
I always assumed companies were drawn to it not just because of the trendiness but because engineering and general development of these features are faster, cheaper, and easier to fix compared to dealing with physical parts (e.g. knobs, wiring).

I very recently bought a BEV Hyundai Ioniq of the first Generation, and one of the reasons I chose the 1st gen was that it still has some knobs and dials. The new generation has almost only touch controls, and this feels kinda wrong. Notably, it’s not a pure touch screen, but the knobs and dials have been replaced by a lot of capacitive touch elements with backlights. When it’s dark outside, it would take me a few hundred ms to find the right button, and then I still have to visually guide my finger there. And then there’s no physical feedback when pressing.

There are other reasons for why I chose the 1st gen (better fast charging capability), but the touch elements were the last straw.

I wonder how much Apple paid. Maybe a mix of cash and shares as well?
I fly recreationally and all the higher end gear has touch screens. Some of them are redundant with paths using hardware controls or not. But that's definitely the minority. There are a slew of critical operations that I simply cannot complete without interacting with a touch screen.

Not saying it's right or wrong but your original post is 100% incorrect.

> Our goal has always been to provide the world with the best weather information possible, to help as many people as we can stay dry and safe, and to do so in a way that respects your privacy.

I don't understand how being acquired by Apple helps further that goal. Removing support for non-Apple devices seems to drastically lower the number of people who you are helping.

I am interested in seeing what happens to this service moving forward as it sounds like the API may be closed off completely by 2021 as well.
We generally review anywhere from 50 to 300 lines per diff. An unfamiliar reader may not be able to anticipate spooky action at a distance in other parts of the codebase, but a good design doesn’t permit much of that anyway. The reader can certainly understand what’s going on in the change, and if they don’t they shouldn’t approve it.
I use Dark Sky as my exclusive weather app, and I'm on iOS, so I suppose I should be happy.
