> 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.

So on my seven year old Nikon D3s I can use buttons to focus and change the shutter speed, aperture, ISO, WB, focusing mode and focus selection point all the while keeping my eye to the viewfinder. I would almost never look at the rear screen except to check the always-on histogram if the lighting radically changed. This means I can react instantly during a sequence of shots without even thinking about the menu system. It is not just 'what I want' but a massive amount of directly accessible usability and configurability. Going into the menu system would almost never be necessary during a typical shoot.

The D850 I recently upgraded to is pretty much the same. I use the live-view screen on the D850 when shooting video but use the viewfinder and buttons (as above) when shooting stills.
> This complain and Remote Access in (so I can SSH to my $4k MacBook) disables itself anytime the computer is restarted.

I've found IPv6 stops working after sleep, the appropriate area in the network pane is blank (I use RA not DHCPv6). Since the Mac updates its DNS records and puts IPv6 addresses in I've found accessing via hostname stops working, but then of course I can use the IPv4 address which works fine.
I don't see why it would. Given what modern CPUs do to make memory fast and safe, pointer arithmetic is a ridiculous simplification that has no bearing in reality.
Ask a fish how much of an obstacle the artifice of beavers imposes.

We're violently in agreement, I think, inasmuch as we both find much obnoxious in the effects of human artifice as directed to modifying our environment. Where we differ is in the use of a special category "unnatural" to describe those effects we do not like. I don't argue that only the equation of "natural" with "desirable" is without value; I argue that "natural" is meaningless, as is its converse, and if we want to talk about desirability, we're better served to do so directly instead of confusing the issue with less precise concepts.

The trick is to expand the definition of "tell the computer what to do."

You can tell the computer what to do by writing a program that passes through six levels of abstraction before the fate of any electrons is affected by what you wrote.

You can also tell the computer what to do by pushing a lot of keys on a keyboard. We're lucky; our keyboards have like a hundred keys on them. Some of our predecessors had eight switches and a ninth key or switch to "ACCEPT" the current switch-bank state.

You can also tell the computer what to do by causing patterns to be stored on magnetic or optical media and read back later.

You can also tell the computer what to do by plugging a wire into the back of it and varying voltages on that wire using another machine a hundred miles away.

Part of the art of programming is knowing that there are no bright, solid lines between these ways to tell a computer what to do (but for a given task, some are clearly more applicable than others ;) ).
I'd like to see everything controllable through the touch screen, but then have plenty of physical buttons and knobs that can be programmed to map to elements on the touch screen.

That way, if there is a software update; and there is a new feature it can be mapped to a button by the user in the way that they want.

Yeah, lots of features and options in this one. Worth a look! ;)

I rewrote it in Nim some time ago to see how it works, and it was a good lesson in X11 and POSIX APIs. Short and to the point.

It possibly could be done in real-time using Bluetooth but I doubt it would be reliable and remember that higher end cameras might be writing out images at maybe 6+ frames/second. Alternatively you can make a point of recording a track on your phone (which tends to be hard on the battery life) and then syncing them up later. But, as someone who has done this, it's a pain in the neck.
We are planning to eventually add commercial cloud services to make Prisma/DB workflows easier (especially for teams and larger organizations). The current OSS database toolkit will remain free forever!

Don't forget modern C++ and the well designed but forgotten Clay language. The reality is that go and java aren't system languages, they are just fast.

More than that though the C and C++ competitors don't have the tools and libraries.

When all these new languages get made, they never ease back on the language part and prioritize the next rough area. The language is argued about debated and added to with features for years or decades. Meanwhile build systems, guis, text editing with suggestions and syntax checking etc. all go into the pile of being a mess of half supported tools pieced together as an exercise in frustration for the brand new curious user.

There is a trend to assume new technology will always replace old technology.

During the Vietnam war the F4 ditched its cannons for the sidewinder air to air missile.

The sidewinder is fire and forget for the most part and somewhat of a no brainer whereas cannons require more skill and training in dogfighting.

It also gave the US a MAJOR advantage (in theory) vs the MiG.

The problem is that the Vietnamese picked up on this and changed their tactics.

Before this the US had air superiority and a significantly higher kill ratio.

The Vietnamese built 'hidden' airfields and would dispatch their MiGs when the F4 was directly overhead and engage them in head to head dogfights.

The F4s needed to build distance to launch a sidewinder and this dramatically rebalanced the kill ratio and during this time it came out to close to 1:1 with the US having a slight advantage.

They US realized their mistake and subsequent F4s had cannons...

Same thing here with cars. When the new screens came out everything was done through software but it's just NOT a good design.

When I'm driving I want to push a button and be done. IF just for safety.

Re: Osprey, the X-57's electric motors are vastly simpler than the fueled gas turbines + driveshafts in that aircraft. All you do is run wiring down the wings, with the Osprey you're running pressurized, flexible fuel lines into a movable nacelle with enormously complex turbomachinery to do all of the compression + combustion. These things are a pandora's box of fatigue problems from the multimodal vibrations and it takes years to analyze them all.

You also can't compare operating costs of a military vs. civil aircraft. VERY different priorities, military aircraft have dramatically higher requirements due to where they operate (desert sand anyone?) and their mission. EVERYTHING gets inspected, components are designed to be performant like Formula 1 race cars and not necessarily for lowest operating costs. It's like comparing an M1 tank, which gets 0.5 mpg, to a Ford F150.

> 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.

This is nonsense, there's no rule of the thumb that states any random wing reduces prop thrust by 50%. You must calculate it. It's a very complex unsteady flow field dependent on all of the geometries involved. It will vary on flight condition obviously.

> informal aerodynamics student

I'm sorry but the average pilot's understanding of aerodynamics is very poor. I've seen blatant mistakes in flight manuals. At the least you should know how to explain what Reynolds number and Kutta condition are before diving into these discussions.
It's not like it stops people from just using their phones anyway

By that logic, doors needn't support locks, because people can just break windows anyways. Likewise, why put safety features in cars, people can just ride motorcycles?

When you're making a thing, your job is to make that thing safe. The fact that people can use other, less-safe things does not in any way abrogate your responsibility for the safety of the thing you make.

I’m not saying it cannot work but I am saying an IT department cannot just install Ubuntu on a laptop, hand it to someone who doesn’t know how to hack at Linux, and have the display aspects “just work” with any monitor.

The best "driver UX" I've ever had is on a 1995 Rover Coupe, with its dashboard and switchgear carried over from a 1988 Honda Concerto:

https://imgur.com/a/YvpSUFa

Just 3 knobs for regulating blower fan speed, blown-in heat level, and flow direction. One switch for letting/stopping incoming air flow, another for recirculating/capturing cabin air. A single on/off button for the AC.

Left steering column switch is entirely light-related, right switch is entirely dedicated to the wiper system.

Three buttons just below the dials: emergency lights, fog lights and rear screen heating.

Just the bare essentials that you'll be using 99% of the time, easily discoverable at the most sensible locations, with a solid mechanical "clicking" feedback. It's a significantly safer car simply by virtue of lacking distracting controls.
It's usually not a full replacement. SSH for macOS has some integration built in that current OpenSSH does not have, like Keychain integration.
> Touch screen controls strike me as not being about cost but being about incredibly lazy UI

It's almost always about cost. Touch screens are shocking cheap thanks to smartphones driving the prices down and physical controls can be shockingly expensive per control.
"Criminalizing terms-of-service violations risks turning each website into its own criminal jurisdiction and each webmaster into his own legislature," Bates wrote.

IMO that is the most important part of the ruling. You cant have criminal penalties and then delegate the definition of the crime to each website.

I don’t know why this is not getting more up votes it looks pretty cool.

At first it may seem like yet another attempt to make database access easy while really making it more complex and harder to maintain.

I haven’t tried this yet, but after reading a couple pages it looks more interesting than that. For example the fact that it relies on typescript knowledge which is already widespread, and the fact that it doesn’t require any server side technology to be installed is a huge advantage.

I’m not sure how it feels in practice, if anyone has experience with it please chime in.

Only correct in a "whatever people buy is good, and people buy iPhones so everything they do is right" sense. Hardware keyboards on phones still are faster to type on than even the best swipe keyboard, and they work through gloves (rather relevant now in these wear-gloves, wash-your-hands days).

Of course, optimizing for WPM over other factors is not right for all customers. But a car is definitely not a phone, so.

In terms of development it's difficult because our work is largely collaborative, involves a lots of secured remote server connections which require vpn and/or remote desktop and a lot of the ops guys I need to speak to are even more busy or unavailable than usual.

You guys need to let me know that you have questions like this, assuming you want an answer. I don't have a mind reader (or even a software alert).

People get moderated here for posting flamebait about western countries and governments all the time. I'd be careful about that feeling that there's a double standard. It's a natural artifact of the well-known cognitive biases that affect these perceptions. You (i.e. everybody) are far more likely to notice, and to weight more strongly, the cases of moderation that you dislike or disagree with. That gives you a generalized image of what goes on here. But that image is just an inverse reflection of your own views. It's not based on the data as a whole. People with opposite views have the opposite image. To take the current topic, for example, they say that HN has an extremely anti-China bias, any comments that try to defend China or Chinese people instantly get downvoted, the mods are in on the racism, and so on. They have the opposite image to yours, but they have it for the same reason you do: they feel very strongly about the issue, and so when they run across instances in the data stream that touch (i.e. hurt) those feelings, it makes a strong impression. Those strong impressions accrue into an image of bias. But the data stream has more than enough data points to make every such impression. That's simply what you get at scale.

> the 2017-11-17 working draft of the C++ standard is 1,448 pages in PDF format.

To be fair, that contains both language documentation and library documentation. The language specification portion itself is only ~400 pages, which is smaller than the Java Language Specification and JS's specification (both about 700-800 pages, although JS does include its [meager] standard library in there).
Too late! Boeing 777-X will have touch screen interfaces for pilots.

Not sure how it works in OP's country, but where I live, when you get a loan, you will get a new account. As you draw the loan, you are getting into negative balance; how far you can go is the limit of your loan. As you pay back the principal, you are getting back to zero balance.

So for Amazon draining loaned money, they would have to transfer them to a normal account and pay with debit card paired to that account, with no limit set.

It is not wise to transfer them to a normal account; you pay interest for the balance on the loan account; if you move them to your normal account, you are paying interest for money that is sitting on your normal account.

What I always get from these discussions is that people fiddle with their cars settings a lot more than I do. What are people doing that requires immediate attention? The only thing I am really tempted to use the screen for while actively driving a Tesla are to adjust the temperature and turn on defrosters. Everything else is handled with physical controls or can wait until I am stopped.
I don't understand why all security assertions must always be provided to each service provider.

This is probably something fundamental I'm misunderstanding about SAML, but when you authenticate for a particular SP, why does the response automatically include every assertion? It seems too obvious to just configure which claims are issued for each service provider. That wouldn't require any special crypto stuff.
Yes, taking one hand off the steering wheel is much better than taking your eyes off the road. Let's be honest here, we're not driving F1 cars so we don't actually physically need to be with both hands on the wheel 100% of the time, but it can take only second of us not looking at the road and we could be hitting someone/something and be dead (or we could kill that someone that we've just hit).

I really, really love to drive, I think I'm one of the few Europeans who chose to drive from Eastern Europe till the Atlantic Coast and back for his vacation just because I like driving (and wanted to see how Europe actually looks like outside of the big cities), and as such I can tell you that lack of attention (i.e. not seeing where you go and not seeing how the people around you are going) is the number one factor of accidents. I think there's nothing else that comes close to it.
I'm not sure that you can really say "a system that tosses privacy out the door". There's lots of privacy protections in place. Sure, it requires trustworthy providers, but that's largely true of a non-open source E2E solution as well.
