Agree. I was so excited to see this announcement and kept reading and reading to see if they had left the headphone jack :( I would have bought two _today_ if they'd kept the same outside and just updated camera + internals.

As it stands, not sure what I'll do as an updated SE was my last hope that Apple would continue making a phone with a headphone jack, but that was probably a pipe dream to begin with.

And please don't try to sell me on Bluetooth. It works OK 60-70% of the time in my experience, but it's super frustrating when it fails (esp. when trying to help older less tech-savvy relatives) and I often find myself just wanting to be able to plug in a darn cord. Ahh the good 'ol days...
> It's insane that the "phablet" standard from ~5 years ago is now not even the new standard, but the only standard.

Utterly insane.

I replaced my SE with a Sony Xperia XZ2 Compact yesterday. It has a 5" screen and decent specs (2018 flagship). About as small as you can get a mobile nowadays, sadly.

And wow how I've missed Android, the UX is soooo much better in most aspects. I can't believe I was stuck with iOS (as an experiment) for almost 1.5 years. Reason being that I hadn't been able to find anything below 5" in the Android world.
> EU's protectionism

What exactly is the EU protectionism in this context? It's not like member states are just coming up with laws specifically to draw fine revenue out of American companies and to prop up local competitors.

It's a cultural clash between American (and other nation's) companies pushing the envelope of a capitalism in a more socialist regulatory market.
To me FaceID makes zero sense. The majority of times I unlock my phone when it’s laying flat on the tabel and away from me. I typically don’t pick up my phone to read a message, so FaceID will require me to move my entire face and upper body to unlock the phone. This is also why I don’t get the point of having the fingerprint reader on the back like many Android phones.

I wouldn’t argue that Apple drop FaceID, but at least put the fingerprint censor back, so we can choose between ToucID or FaceID. I believe that many would choose TouchID.
Interesting, thanks for clarifying. I run a small 8 person software team in a software-is-secondary business, so articles like yours are helpful for me as I discover new terms and approaches to leadership.

Quick comment about sizes and popularity. This is the size of the iPhone 6/6S/7/8 form factor. There are a LOT of iPhone models of this type.

They're bigger than the old SE, but effectively a fair bit smaller than the X/XS/11 Pro format, which has a much larger screen to manage.

So, this phone gives those of us who liked the 8 body size an upgrade path.

David Smith compiled iPhone usage stats for his app. The iPhone 6/6S/7/8 had 47% share. The iPhone 5s/old SE had 11% share. The X/XS/11 Pro size had 12% share. So, this new SE is an extremely common and and popular design.

The vanilla Linux kernel contains many proprietary firmware blobs, which is why GNU and Guix uses the "Linux-Libre" fork.

There is a maintained nonfree Guix channel here if you don't care about such blobs or need other proprietary software: https://gitlab.com/nonguix/nonguix
I'm the opposite type of (amateur) developer - I designed an app with an SE as my testing device. I was months into the development process before I said, "hey maybe I should look at the app on an XR." But it was pretty simple to scale the design up. I mostly just adjusted some left/right margins for the larger devices.
You are likely right, this is a fascinating insight.
Which makes me wonder how much faster we'd be seeing progress in the world if companies were better managed.
Compilation benchmarks are fine, and many review sources are adding them, but there's still a pretty big gulf between "compiling the Linux kernel/chromium" and a typical developer workload.

> I guess there are more gaming benchmarks because there are much more gamers than software engineers.

That may be true, but I don't think that's a sufficient explanation. There are plenty of benchmarks for other professional workloads, such as CAD, 3D rendering, video editing, and mathematical modeling for financial or scientific applications.
There are many jobs outside of software that have had resistance to working from home for really no good reason. I was really just trying to balance my comment anyway, working from home was the first example that came to mind. My main point that there will be consequences to shutting many things down, even if it seems like it was quite easy.
FusionAuth has some k8s, helm, docker and openshift examples as well. https://github.com/FusionAuth/fusionauth-containers

FusionAuth is not open source, so if that is a hard requirement, you'll have to skip it.
It's a 'in the zone' experience.
Two threads from replies here that are helpful: look at B2B SaaS or join enterprise IT. There are a lot of companies that are trying to modernize their tools and adopt agile ways of working, and if you're coming from a startup background you will bring a really valuable perspective and set of skills.

I know Fortune 500 developers who are working on super cool DevOps enablers and internal libraries using modern tech. The good places are not your dad's IBM WebSphere configuration shop anymore.
Unfortunately, camera manufacturers have been very slow to adopt computational photography techniques in professional grade bodies. We're just now starting to see things like image stacking (usually called "digital ND filter" or other such nonsense). I'd like to see in-camera HDR, better processing, etc.

Hopefully the camera industry steps up the quality of it's software before it collapses into obscurity. Right now the only thing keeping it afloat is the fact that we haven't found good ways to take the effects of large apertures and longer focal lengths.

I feel like the moment phone manufacturers are able to convincingly fake something like an 85mm f/1.4, we're just going to be done with full-frame cameras.
To be fair, states are starting to ban using non-hands-free phones.

One curious point is that, in a neighboring state, the fine is extremely small. However, insurance companies are treating such citations as a similar risk to having a DWI/DUI citation; construction workers and other drivers are already having a hard time getting hired because their record of having been pulled over for usinga phone makes them too expensive for employers to insure for company vehicles.
In my experience, the strategy in the entirety of the US is to use the police to herd the homeless/mentally ill/drug abusers into the poorest areas, out of sight and mind of most middle and upper class people.

However, recently as their numbers grow, and they start becoming more and more visible, it's not as sustainable of a policy as before. I know that homelessness doesn't equal mentally ill or drug addict, but my point is that using the police as a long term tool to keep the homeless out of sight is not tenable. The police should be capable of first aid and handling initial interactions, but I don't think they should be tasked with this repetitive herding behavior. It has to be psychologically taxing for them to have to deal with people who they know they will just have to push along the next day or week.
Fnac and darty now have a so called "marketplace", like amazon, which means resellers. Some friends of mine ordered a Vitamix blender, which was from a reseller. The later just ordered it on amazon, and sent to him.

I find it hilarious, and a bit sad at the same time.
It costs something like $0.50 cents a pill.

>Firstly they didn't upgrade anyone, even though first and business was basically empty.

They rarely upgrade to international first/business because the meals and other perks cost real money. And it'll piss off the people who payed over a thousand dollars for those seats.
I don’t think that’s lost in photography today; more people than ever know that and get to experience it thanks to the amazing DSLR and mirrorless ecosystems available. The people that think smartphone photos are good enough are the people that never would have taken photos with cameras anyway.
Didn't suggest so. Although I have to say I prefered how it was back then. No gaming apart from floppy throwing compo. :-)

True, but for watching video? Is the need that common away from home/office/workspace? I get YT videos, which often don't need as big a screen, but movies and tv shows on a phone?
“Bluetooth” in general maybe, but have you used AirPods or any of the Beats headphones with the H1 chip? They are extraordinary.

This has broken publishing in our app, which purges the file from the Cloudflare cache when something is republished. We’re ignoring errors from the Cloudflare API, but that isn’t enough in this case because it isn’t returning an error – it’s just hanging till the request times out.

We’re pushing an emergency config change to skip the cache invalidation, which will stop it timing out but means republished projects won’t update (because the old version will still be cached).

Godspeed to the Cloudflare engineers who are presumably scrambling to fix this!
Unfortunately, the government explicitly listing allowed and denied categories would result in people finding luxury goods that were still allowed, and condemning the government for that (expensive foods, for instance) - and simultaneously finding banned products that could be argued to vital, and blaming the government for that. Leaving it vague lets that blame be shifted to Amazon.
Of course everybody benefits from the existence of an organ like WHO

Why? Does it do anything beyond encourage groupthink? What does it do that other organisations cannot?
Have you checked the battery health/cycles? Mine was like that, even iOS at once unexpectedly shutdown...

The battery page in settings, under Battery Health should tell your capacity and other info. for me a new battery fixed everything... and batteries aren't usually covered under warranty as far as I know in general but Apple replaced it for me. FedEx Overnighted it to their repair center in California, and then back. So only without a phone for a few days. Kinda like a brand new phone just by changing the battery.
You may be right, but isn't acting like we all knew this is moving the goalpost?
You need to add more JavaScript. Currently page load time are not good, bit it would be the perfect time to add the telemetry:

Once you add enough JavaScript it is like time travel. Instead of getting slower you actually speed up time.
Yes, but it will be smaller than the 6/7/8 line. The overall dimensions haven’t been leaked, but a 5.4” screen is 93% the size of the 5.8” on the 11 Pro. If we scale the outer dimensions by the same amount, the 12 Pro should be 133.8x66.4 mm, which is in between the original SE and the 6/7/8 lineup.

Edit: after re-reading the leaks, it seems like the vanilla 12 is getting the smaller screen and not the Pro. So maybe we won’t have a smaller phone with square sides.
You can do the same thing with a rail pass and frequent service. Hop on, hop off, whatever schedule you want. It's a wonderful way to travel.

You could even gasp rent a car at a stop if you want to go further out into the wilderness for a bit. Or bicycles. Or horses. Or hang-gliders.

The places you should only be able to get to with mass transport are city centers, where cars are an incredibly dangerous polluting menace.

As someone who worked in the frontend space, and now doesn't, I think this has much to do with the fact that "anyone can learn to code" but often don't have any formal background. Lots of bootcamp grads, lots of people hearing about fat programmer salaries trying to get into the industry, people completing udacity courses and throwing buzzwords on their resume.

My experience in frontend feels like everyone learns ad hoc without digging deep into basics. Overall, I felt if you have aptitude or real passion for the work, you would just get a computer science degree and be attracted to other parts of the stack or other problems to solve.

This obviously doesn't apply to large tech companies which make it a point to hire talent (frontend, backend, whatever).

> Hiring software developers is still somehow an arcane mystery few people can objectively figure out.

This is actually one space where I feel the frontend world shines. Almost every frontend interview question has been very practical.
Definitely check out the EOS framework and also OKRs. Those are the 2 that we've tried out so far - we found OKRs (Objectives and Key Results) to be a bit too aspirational for us but EOS so far has given us a toolkit to lead and navigate going from a start up to a funded high growth company. They're applicable regardless of business model and industry.
Which HDL do you use ?
Yes. Very. It was important to me and Michelle that it be a tribute to Lee’s genius and contribution to Cloudflare. We spent a long time looking for the right reporter and publication. Wired seemed appropriate given Lee’s love of technology. And Sandra was a total class act. We opened up fully to her, spending nearly a year letting her get to know us. Lee’s family was incredibly giving of their time. It takes a really talented and empathetic writer to have people feel safe and to open up to such a personal story like they did.

I got the advance copy of the article last night and it’s been an emotional 12 hours reliving a lot of the last 18 years I’ve known Lee. But I’m happy we helped create something Lee’s two sons will be able to read and see a little bit of what an incredible person their dad was.

Apache Kylin Quick Start Guide for Rapid Deployment
I have lived in SE Asia for about seven years.

In case anyone is curious, I've been able to live well on about $6000-8000 a year. I certainly eat like a king, since fruits and vegetables are amazingly cheap here. Otherwise my hobbies are inexpensive, e.g. exercise and sports, writing software for personal projects, making digital art, etc.

It's not for everyone, but I would have really struggled on a more conventional path. It's been my experience that working for someone else is really degrading, although I'm sure some companies are better than others.

I consider myself extremely lucky, as most of my neighbors here lead very difficult lives. In the poorer half of the world, life is extremely brutal and arduous for most people. It's very sad and I've seen things here that are shocking and appalling (and I am not faint of heart, after spending many years "hustling" in the US). The behavior of other expats here also leaves something to be desired, although at least it's not as bad as Thailand...
I feel like the sweet spot is using groovy where it makes sense, like parsing unstructured xml and json, reading in files, pojos, and of course spock. I was never the biggest fan of grails.

I’ll have to check out Kotlin though, seems like the new wave for sure when it comes to simple readable jvm code.

I sync all my photos to my phone, even those I took with my camera, and whenever I show people photos on my phone they always notice immediately, even in thumbnail size. “You took that on your phone!?” No, definitely not, I just synced it to my phone.
Yup, it took me a few months to realize this. In the morning when I need to unlock something, I have to double the distance between my face and the phone for FaceID to work.

The original flour we were thinking of buying was https://www.webstaurantstore.com/all-purpose-flour-50-lb/104... $12.25/bag (50lb), mildly cheaper than the Sam's Club price above. But then adding in shipping on a truck from PA added another $9.40/bag.

In places where people can easily buy individual 25lb bags for $6.50, though, you don't need to organize a group buy!
Many charities produce enormous externalities. That's why people donate to them.

I think OP's point was that those organizations don't necessarily have a good grasp of the reality those of us bound by market forces live under. That's something I've certainly seen from both universities and other ivory towers.

For the past many decades, I've donated to organizations like the FSF, mostly to allow people like Richard Stallman to be funded to do what they want. That gives those people great freedom to do the right thing, and it's well worth the money. That doesn't take away from the reality that those people are now in no position to evaluate the choices I make, without the luxury of that same sort of support.

Hence terms like 'ivory tower.' Yes, we should provide artists, scholars, and others with charity support, but yes, we should accept that distorts their worldview too.
NASA came to the same conclusion.

For the Mars Rover, they are extremely bandwidth constrained to send photos home.

They found that a super high quality lens, greatly outweighs the megapixels (which becomes a bandwidth problem when you’re millions of miles away)

Most cameras are only 2 megapixels on the Mars Curiosity Rover, yet it produces unbelievable detail due to the high quality lenses.

I'd say completely the opposite. If you're operating at Backblaze scale doubling your operations workload can be expensive. If you're at home doubling or tripling your chance of having to do some maintenance for an hour a year is trivial compared to the benefit of significantly reducing the chance that your whole array will fail from a common fault of all drives.
This guide aims to provide novice Kylin users with a complete process guide from download and installation to a sub-second query experience. The guide is divided into two parts, which respectively introduce the installation and use of Kylin in two scenarios – with an installation based on a Hadoop environment and installation from Docker image without a Hadoop environment.

Users can follow these steps to get an initial understanding of how to use Kylin, master the basic skills of Kylin and then use Kylin to design models and speed up queries based on their own business scenarios.
Also, some of the "performance problems" are simply different access models. Windows and NTFS tries to provide some database-like ACID characteristics, including transactions at the level of batches of file updates with commit/rollback support. Ext4 and Linux (intentionally) make few such guarantees and so it shouldn't be surprising have very different performance profiles, just as you might expect between a NoSQL database that makes no ACID guarantees and an SQL database with multiple types of locks and several types of transaction behaviors.
>> It was interesting to see for Lee how this seemed amplified after heart surgery. My Dad had really bad "post-operative delirium" for about a month after major heart surgery, and while he recovered somewhat, that was definitely the start of his major decline.

That is a strange coincidence. Could changes in bloodflow have an impact on brain cells?

> * Lack of headphone jack is still unacceptable

Sorry, you can't have IP67 water resistance with that 3.5mm headphone jack.

Edit: a lot of folks proved me wrong. I feel that I need to clarify: Apple's design goal is to make it thiner, more integrated, less components more battery space and unified input/output interface, all that combined with water resistance, is not practical. All the 3.5mm examples I am seeing doesn't attempt to make it thin and light albeit water resistant.

Trillions of money are being printed but the funding of specific efforts is not coordinated, apart from maybe the contributions of rich people like Gates. Lots of scientists are basically sitting idle.
It's a pretty neat feature imo. Not sure if you mean that you specifically didn't want cruise control in your cars, or just happen to be driving cars without it, but my 2000 Toyota Corolla had it, and that's a 20 year old model at this point.
I hung on to my 5S for the longest time before finally getting an 8. I'm happy with the 8's form factor, but it's definitely at the upper limit of what I'm willing to carry around in my pocket all day. I can operate it with one hand, though sometimes a little awkwardly.

I hated not having the headphone jack for a long time. But AirPods (which I do love) have taken care of that problem.

Emacs offers so many tools for interactive development and debugging that your first scenario should never happen, assuming you learn what's available and how to use it. Of the systems in use today, only Smalltalk has better introspective capabilities. Common Lisp through its Genera manifestation is superior even to that, but not easily available.

Emacs is the only contemporary widely-used system that can really be described as an apex / convergence point of stability, extensibility and self-empowerment. It is the clearest manifestation of "computers are an extension of the human mind" idea that goes all the way back to control theory/cybernetics, Licklider ("Man-Computer Symbiosis"), Engelbart, Alan Kay ..

One reason Emacs is such a rabbit hole, is that it always asks more of you. It always reminds you, assuming your mind is receptive, of the sheer potential on offer. Like any iconoclastic technology, it exhibits agency in that it tempts you to start using it in the way it wants to be used!
And that's powerful. Very powerful. You're not simply writing scripts to scratch a temporary itch, but really learning about how to develop strategies to better manage information. You are expanding your own mind (cybernetic fusion) and programming the new metasystem at the same time. That's not an easy problem to solve but perseverance will bring ample reward.

What does it say about the current state of affairs when the typical reaction to experiencing Emacs for the first time is one of instant recoil due to the size of the set of possibilities now made available? We've been so conditioned by tools that operate in A-B-C fashion to expect a single, well-lighted path that we become dissonant to an alternative that opens up entirely different ways of thinking about and dealing with information.

As to your last point, you can always fire up a new Emacs process and do your highly experimental customization there if you don't feel confident in being able to keep track of what's happening and/or worried about breaking things. Eventually you'll reach the point where this sort of decision is automatic and seldom needed.
