Moving of isn't easy

- thanks to GitHub pages and markdown rendering your tool's homepage is the Git{Hub|Lab|...} page. That page is linked from "everywhere" else and indexed in search engines

- all history aside from code is in there (discussions in bug issues and pull requests etc.) getting them out is possible, but all the linkage between commit messages and those might be problematic to migrate

- contributors are often only known by their handle on that page, migrating of requires new setup of permissions and mapping of usernames to trust on a social level

- there are tons of hooks configured for many projects

- as GitHub Actions and GitLab CI gain more and more traction workflows depend on those

"Just move the repo" is a fallancy which doesn't work. I have no doubts medium term about Microsoft steering GitHub, but I fear a single entity being so central in the opensoruce world (also consider npm acquisition etc.)
I meant that "the graph of active hospitalizations should be a bell curve with a maximum value of ~10,000 on ~4/20" with the current mitigations in place. That is not what the government report is projecting. They're projecting unbounded, exponential growth with current mitigations in place, even though that is not in line with the data we've seen over the past two weeks.
@olkyt ... I'm very thankful for this site. I glanced over the material and OH ... My ... Gosh. The content looks awesome for someone like my level.

There are many bluetooth headphone choices, plus an adapter for plugging in headphones. I'm just as sour about the death of the headphone jack, but I think it's hyperbole to say that $75/yr for airpods is required.
Agreed. I will add that the general trend seems to assume that user is a functional idiot and keep actual specs either hidden away or difficult to get to. It is hard to make informed decisions in such environment.
True, there are still exceptions that don't work well with Docker and Flatpak.
If you have a masters and are willing to be a relatively low-paid adjunct, my impression is "yes," particularly in CS, where relatively few people want to be adjuncts.

I don't think it's easy to find jobs that pay at middle-class levels in many larger cities.
You know, people worry about age discrimination a lot because there aren't a ton of older programmers around. But when the discussion comes up, people don't talk much about the reasons you describe.

Sure, bad programmers age out because they were never great at programming in the first place. But I would assume the HN crowd falls in the top half of competence because there are so many people here who seem smarter about programming than me. If you're good, you don't have to worry.

Maybe good programers age out because the technical side gets too repetitive, their jobs become more about politics, and they have enough money to change tracks later in life.
Canon has their DO (Diffractive Optics) technology[1] which I think only ever made it into a 70-300[2].

Mirror lenses have been around for a long time. They fold the length of larger telephotos into about a third with some trade-offs in speed and image quality.

Glad to see a non faceID option. I'm on an 11 Pro currently, will probably sidegrade to this.

FaceID is incredibly unreliable in my opinion, and it almost always takes more time that touchID did. Furthermore, "Reachability" (the feature where you slide the UI down for easy access with one hand) is much more difficult to access and dismiss with no home button. It's rare I don't accidentally invoke some UI action when trying to dismiss reachability mode (mistakes include: dialing additional numbers, super-linking on tinder, clicking on links in websites, etc.)

Apple seems to know this, the store workers I spoke with when I was purchasing the phone admitted it was difficult to use.

Is it rose colored glasses, or would old Apple never release products that the Apple Store workers have to tell you are "difficult to use"?

What? They come with a pair of wired headphones. Why do you need Airpods?
Yes. I'm an Android user who is absolutely sick of phablets. I have a Pixel 3A (5.6") and it is way, way too big. I've been quite excited about this iPhone SE announcement. However, the lack of a headphone jack is a huge negative, and 4.7" is the absolute largest I think is reasonable. A little smaller would've been ideal. I'm undecided on whether to switch to the SE, but I genuinely hope it sells like crazy. Then maybe the Android copycat manufacturers like Google will copy the small form factor, but add in a headphone jack. One can dream...

I don't think this is the comparison that you're drawing, but I'd like to point out that my current iPhone SE has been doing well for three years (other than a battery replacement), and I think it has at least one more year left in it. So it's not just the top-end phones that have staying power.
This looks almost exactly like an iPhone 6... The measurements are the same.

GitLab PM here for the Package stage. We announced that the Package Registry offering will be included in GitLab Core.

This means that for npm, Maven, NuGet, Conan and any future formats, you will be able to:

- Establish GitLab as a private repository
- Authenticate using your GitLab credentials, personal access or job token
- Publish packages to GitLab
- Pull packages from GitLab
- Search for packages hosted on GitLab
- Access an easy-to-use UI that displays package details and metadata and allows you to download any relevant files

It does take a bit of work to migrate the code. We are currently investigating what work is required and will have a better sense of timing once the investigation is complete. We are hoping to have this complete in the next few months.

You can follow along in the issue here: https://gitlab.com/groups/gitlab-org/-/epics/2867.

I was wondering about this too, and I think it’s for cost-cutting on the lowest-margin products in the range.

SMR is going to reduce platter size and quality requirements for a given size in GB (because the data is packed more densely). A given capacity can require fewer platters/sides, or a blemished platter can now be used where it couldn’t previously.
It also really depends on in which corner of the field you work in (and of course practices of the specific organization you work for)
Which was exactly my point, I said "in general" but for some precise use cases, the comparison actually makes sense.
If you think people already knew, why do you expect the stock to go down today? If people already knew, EMH says it was already priced in.

Your point is weak anyway, it is like claiming climate change is false because of today's weather. Stock prices move everyday for many reasons, you can't say bad news had no effect just because the price didn't go down compared to yesterday. It's possible the price would have gone up more without the bad news.

Now that I am here: do you know of any resources (books, tutorials, repos) that explain the techniques used in the demoscene?

Yes. You can use $20 Amazon bluetooth headphones. And you can use a $9 adapter that fits in any wallet or purse easily:

And they come with free lightning headphones in the box.
Everyone is focusing on the aircraft, but the pilots are also super important here. They need to maintain a certain number of hours every 90 days, IIRC, in order to be flight ready. If not, they need to do a refresher in a simulator. As I’m sure everyone is familiar after the 737 max debacle, there is a shortage of simulators. This would mean it would take months or perhaps even a year to get all pilots recertified for commercial flight. That’s not a great situation to be in, and easily solved by keeping them flying.
I have often wanted to charge my phone and listen to it at the same time. Wireless charging helped, but I really missed being able to plug my iPhone 8 into a power bank and my headphones at the same time.

Really? I was able to throw together an entire CI/CD workflow in Github that builds, tests, measures coverage and deploys to GCE in like 30 minutes. Bringing your own agents looks fairly simple too and follows a GitOps model:

I have to manage infrastructure, but I'm not allowed to manage user accounts or permissions. I have to send a ticket to IT, and then wait 3 days for a response... Or I get no response from them, and find out 5 days later that they did the job and closed the ticket with no notification. All because their manager requires tickets for every little change... But they don't put any information in the tickets about what they did, so there's no point whatsoever to the ticket.
What is this C++ `narrow()/widen()` function mentioned in the Windows section? At the risk of asking to be spoonfed, can someone give the source code of a function that takes a UTF-8 `std::string` and gives a UTF-16 `std::wstring`?
> When was the last time you plugged your phone into anything except to charge?

Aside from headphones? March 15th, the last time I took a train (been at home due to covid since then)

> And when was the last time you needed to charge it and listen to music at the same time?

Last night, when I was watching futurama in bed

Now when it comes to both cases, the answer would again be March 15th, when I had my phone plugged into my laptop providing limited connectivity, my headphones plugged into my phone listening to (offline) spotify. I then unplugged my headphones from the phone and plugged into my laptop to listen to a short video, then back into my phone to continue to listening to music.

This is possible with a lightning+3.5mm jack dongle, but it's not as nice an experience as with the superior iphone of yesteryear.
It's still viable for most people. Most people will be okay with the included pair of wired headphones.

The Rise of a Hindu Vigilante in the Age of WhatsApp
IIRC the iPhone is the most profitable consumer product ever. If anything, it should be able to support a greater diversity of models than it does. Because even the "small minority" slices are still large in absolute terms. For instance, I'd suppose a niche iPhone could still be more profitable than, say, the new Mac Pro, which is expensive and looks cool but doesn't sell that many units.
My current biggest problem with FaceID is that it doesn't work when I'm wearing a mask. Which is pretty much anytime I'm outside right now.

Never had an issue with glasses though.
> shaped like the original SE

But bigger, right?
Yes, it is really cool space to explore and you can keep finding interesting gems :)

>with some added () to work in non-lazy languages and to highlight that the type `Bool` is just the sum `Unit + Unit`

Nice. But it makes sense, also semantically. Booleans are about choice and the types of the sum don't carry information, so they can be unit. While left and right mean false and true.

You should also look into FoldMap lists, which are lists encode as foldMap. That was for me magic. (https://hackage.haskell.org/package/fmlist-0.9.3/docs/Data-F...)

I left the tech field just a year out of college. I worked in cybersecurity. It was a lot of fun for a tech job, with lots of travel and interesting problems to solve. The pay was decent even fresh out of college like I was.

I left to be a pilot. Spending time traveling, watching the aircrews and staring at airplanes taxi up got to me. I put my time in flying small planes and just finished training for my first airline job on Valentine’s Day this year. The work is amazing, and I’m still very solidly in the “I can’t believe they’re paying me for this” phase of my job as I eat breakfast and watch the sunrise from up high.

I’m not sure if I’ll still have this job by next week, much less October. Oh well.

Until iPhone 6s is deprecated, and will no longer receive iOS updates. I'm guessing iOS 14 will be about the end of that support.
> And when was the last time you needed to charge it and listen to music at the same time?

Not music, but phone calls. Working remotely means I spend a lot more time on the phone, and only recently I was frustrated by the fact that I could not charge my phone and use headphones on a call at the same time.
> 2. Your statement that free speech is a right is an ethical claim, so maybe you should re-examine your dismissal of ethics. Thanks in advance for thinking it through.

I don't see this is contradictory, but I guess I'm having trouble clarifying my thoughts here. I'm not discussing whether or not to have free speech; that was indeed an ethical and moral decision... that got decided already. I don't see the point in discussing that because 1) it got decided 244 years ago and 2) it's enshrined in the constitution. If I disagreed, my only realistic option is to move to another country.

What I was discussing was that I'm against the idea of laypersons or the [non-judicial] branches of government using the guise of "ethics" or "morality" to arbitrarily silence people. I don't see how free speech could be "revered" or similar without making arbitrary conditions.
> You don't make good faith attempts to comply with them.

Uh... "Good faith" is, literally, the term of art used in the legal profession to define the criteria for honoring a contract or order.

Obviously, no, the court could be a total jerk about it and demand ridiculous things. But that's not the way it's supposed to work. The whole point behind the "rule of law" is that we trust each other (Amazon, its unions, the courts) to be reasonable, tell the truth, and honor our agreements in the spirit in which they were made.

People who insist on looking like this as a war with combatants are the ones who are missing the point. I mean, look, the court in France is trying to protect workers. That's a good thing. You agree that's a good thing, right?
Framing the headphone jack as a "premium" feature may not match the views of others, and should not be considered an assumption to be taken for granted.

Headphone jacks are not necessarily considered a premium feature by all phone users.

They are by some, as is evident, but that view cannot be taken for granted — even here at HN.
You don't need a fair comparison to read articles like https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2020/feb/05/amazon-wo... and decide that this is not acceptable. Other warehouses being equally bad - which I doubt - doesn't fly for a company that is that profitable, big and popular.

Being large and visible might be a part of it, but their system being unnecessary cruel in the first place is reason enough.
The real lesson I take from that is not that you should do X or Y, but that you should constantly be trying new things in life.

If you don't let yourself explore, you're not going to be happy long term. (Eventually, you will hit that fabled mid-life identity crisis.)

Perhaps it's less that any one situation is preferable, but more that you need variety.

Or the headphone adaptor, or the lightning earpods that are included with most iPhones nowadays.
I had a mirrored lens (400mm). It worked ok, but I had it for a film camera and you can't adjust the aperture. This was more of an issue on the film camera I had, but long focal length lenses have a very small depth of focus and stopping down the aperture helps that.

Canon tried a fresnel lenes there "DO" series. Not quite as good quality at about half the size and way more money. Its interesting technology.

You can see the lens size comparisons near the bottom of this article.

https://www.the-digital-picture.com/Reviews/Canon-EF-400mm-f...

One of the main things driving larger optics/ is the amount of light the lens lets in. EG: max aperture (a lower f number) means bigger lens, more money. The availability of digital sensors means often you can shoot with higher film speed and might not require as large a max aperture..
I would’ve expected a bigger drop. But these numbers include online sales.

I suppose some of the drop is countered by people being less price-conscious: e.g. going to 1 grocery store instead of 3 to capture all the sales. Or buying more expensive TP because that’s all thats available.
> The court gave a short deadline for meeting an ambiguous target with respect to a complex international logistics network.

The court gave a short deadline because it should have been done a while ago already. Let's not pretend like it's a surprise.

The government asked to stop any non-vital activity a month ago.
Amazon, instead of interpreting this as: let's reduce our activity to just the part that qualifies as vital (vital for the country, not vital for Amazon margins), interpreted this as: since we ship some vital stuff, all of our activity is vital, and can proceed like business as usual.
This is just a usual greedy move where profit comes before health of the employees.

There are certainly all the previous iPhones that had just one (back-facing) camera. I suppose they're saying that it's better than all of those. Every year they say that the new phone is the "best iPhone ever," which I suppose is true but isn't a very strong statement.

Edit: Actually, the iPhone XR has just one camera: https://www.apple.com/shop/buy-iphone/iphone-xr

There have usually been smaller androids available. But people didn't buy them in enough numbers to make them a thriving sector AFAICT. Samsung used to do the Galaxy Mini line, Sony always had smaller xperia's... But most folks seem to want a bigger, shinier screen.

That's not to say you're wrong in your desires, it's just they might not be widely shared.

I also hope this does well. It's a nice looking unit.

It's not too bad. I'm a huge proponent of the one-handed phone after using a Nexus 5 for 6.5 years. I think there are two main contributors to one-handed usability: (1) volume of the chasis, with a particular focus on width and (2) screen size, with a particular focus on screen height.

In terms of (1), the SE is in line with the Nexus 5 (and actually less wide), whilst the Pixel 4 is slightly bigger in all dimensions:

N5: 137.9 x 69.2 x 8.6 mm (5.43 x 2.72 x 0.34 in)
SE: 138.4 x 67.3 x 7.3 mm (5.45 x 2.65 x 0.29 in)

In terms of (2), a 4.7" screen with a 16:9 ratio is far easier to reach the top corners of than on a 5.7" that's 19:9. Yes, there is a bit less bezel on the Pixel 4 but it'll still be very difficult to reach the top one-handed with the taller screen.

I can hang out on outdated iOS for a while (I'm actually on iOS 12 right now), but yeah, eventually I'll likely hop over to Android. Headphone jacks are getting rarer in the Android world, but they're still around, and I'll get something slightly older if need be.
FWIW I thought I would miss TouchID for a long time until I finally bought a new iPhone and realised that FaceID actually worked much better than I expected.

Yes there are some occasions where it doesn't work well (when you're trying to unlock the phone without looking at it properly) but there are also many occasions where it works much better. Most of the time my phone now unlocks so smoothly that I don't even realise it was locked. So on balance I think FaceID would actually be a plus.
