I've seen many of Boeing's wing assembly lines and there are a lot of similarities here, except that this is clearly not set up for mass production. (Which makes sense for a demonstrator.)

Also from the startup ground robot prototypes I've seen (and made) this looks much neater and more planned out than what's normal.
A touch interface for a chat application is the worst thing on usability happened on IT ever.

Physical keyboards as a cover should be a must shipped item on every tablet.

A tablet is a consumer/broadcasting device, like the smartphone. You are not producingwith it. You are either consuming media, or sharing it. It's the perfect ad device.
And zoomers are blindly embracing it as if it was better and more "modern". They are not right.
The old interfaces (I guess we can say that now, talking about a quarter century ago) tended to have several modes.

The menu bar was always just text.

The toolbars offered several options: large/medium/small/no icons, text/no text.

(Not all of those options were always available.)

This let you progress as a user of a system. When you first experienced it you could use the large icons with text because it made the things you were searching for standout. As you learned the icons you could start shrinking them, and eventually remove the text. This opened up the toolbar to fit many more actions (often less frequently used). And the tool tip from hovering remained throughout, so in the worst case of an ambiguous (or unknown) icon, you could hover over it and learn what it did. Additionally, you'd often get the shortcut for the action when hovering over the button (or viewing it in the menu bar).

Many contemporary applications don't provide their users with this notion of progression.
Networking in Rust has gotten _so much_ better this year.

My old server needed nested callbacks, wrapping everything in refcounting, loops via recursion, and Either for control flow. Still easier than C, but not pretty.

Now it's just `do_this().await.do_that().await` and I'm done! Huge congratulations on shipping that.

> UI is quite often taken from a drawing and little else

The way I've solved this these days when working with people who aren't familiar with responsive design (older/inexperienced designers or clients directly) is to print them an A3 page with outlines of a vertical phone and tablet and a horizontal desktop screen, vaguely to scale, and all including a "below the fold area", and tell them to draw on that. This almost always gives me enough information to implement a properly responsive design.
WeChat is many things all in a single app:

- A payments platform called WeChat Pay (think PayPal, Venmo, Apply Pay, Android Pay all combined)

- A consumer messenger platform with voice and video chat (think Facebook Messenger + WhatsApp)

- A friends newsfeed called Moments with audio and video support, external links but visibility of
content is timeboxed in days, weeks or months (think Facebook News Feed with a touch of Instagram Stories)

- An e-commerce store platform called WeChat Store (think Shopify)

- A business platform called "Official Accounts" with many features:

* A business / bot messaging platform (think Facebook Messenger for Business)

* An advertising platform

* A content distribution platform, primarily through Official Account Subscription Accounts (like blogs, news, think Medium). WeChat offers this through "Channels", "Top Stories", "Official Accounts" and "Mini Programs".

* WeChat Official Accounts Service Accounts can create "Mini Programs" which are rich integrations and tightly integrate with your linked WeChat Payments account, for example:

1. Didi Chuxing for Ridesharing (Uber)

2. Mobike for Bike Rental (Lime Bike etc)

3. Meituan Dianping for e-commerce and food delivery

4. Douban, Yishenghuo, Yoopay etc for Event / Concert Tickets (think Eventbrite, Ticketmaster)

Most noteworthy is that WeChat Mini Programs are standalone and don't deeplink to other apps. No aspect of WeChat does Deeplinking to any other app. You always stay in WeChat.
You need a standard web/networking framework. Built in to the standard library, like in Golang. That will speed up adoption. Rust's competitor is C++. C++'s biggest weakness is build tooling, which Rust is demonstrably better at with cargo. C++'s second biggest weakness is poor networking support. Rust isn't any better. That's driving away the JavaScript/RoR/hipster crowd which is the lifeblood of Rust's adoption.
I'm not really enough of an expert to know what operations were missing and/or what might have really different implementations on the different systems. It "seemed" pretty consistent to me ... and leaving the yellow-orange values in the SH column was a good sign too. I have extensive experience with both Github and Gitlab and I can say that, in general, the performance on the operations match my experience. I don't want to say that's a fair comparison either as we self-host Gitlab and the performance (or lack thereof) could be our own fault.

In any case, thanks for putting this together and kudoes to allowing the community to help add, adjust and comment on the metrics you've chosen.
It was also FDA regulations that made it impossible for the US to perform comprehensive testing early on.
Most big banks completely screwed their clients. You can read reddit/r/smallbusiness

1) The SBA was approving PPP submissions in like an hour (rubberstamping).

2) Any delay was 100% your bank. Many banks just didnt get to applications but didnt notify people. Some banks said people were approved (by the bank) but didnt submit those people to the SBA

3) There was a lot of time to submit to intermediaries like paypal. Paypal was turning applications around in 24 hours to funding. There were people that applied on 4/3 with a big bank that didnt get it and people that applied thursday night through paypal that got it

4) Big banks often added additional criteria which made it harder to complete the application. Some big banks were not using the correct calculations

5) Once you have an SBA loan number you are good and money is allocated. Banks have 10 days to disburse the funds

6) The SBA ran out of allocated funds, not all the money has been disbursed.

7) People submitted to multiple lenders and it was fine

Overall I think the program went pretty well and there was plenty of time for people to get applications in. There was obviously working of the system (hedge funds, large restaurant chains, etc) but if you look at the distribution of funds there were still many many small loans.

750K under $150K with an average of $51K

I spent the last 2 weeks doing nothing but reading reports, stats etc about the program to ensure I was able to get it for my team. Lots of people submitted with a big bank and just waited accepting no updates, now are complaining after it is over.
No, NASA loves SpaceX and they wouldn't dump them over one failure, which let us remember do happen in space travel, Boeing had one with their crew module just recently.

Instead NASA would launch an intensive investigation, discover Boeing was behind it, and pass the data on to the Department of Justice which would indict the people responsible for murder, and that would be the the end of Boeing's space division.
I think hamburgers work in browsers because they are just chrome for an actual application running inside the browser tab. Having a browser menu just above an application menu inside the browser tab is something I can actually see being problematic.
Yea, the survey says that IDE support is the third-highest item for increasing adoption (https://blog.rust-lang.org/2020/04/17/Rust-survey-2019.html#...). Rust users would benefit greatly from the Analyzer work that is in flight. Really looking forward to this becoming stable. The tooling it offers is great.

You can use the intellij rust plugin with clion. Not the same thing but similar.
I think what you're saying overall is true to a small extent due to how Apple have positioned themselves. But this ...

> we apply no standard at all to the competition which frequently gets away with the same kinds of issues (and also issues that are much much worse)

... is total BS. Google and Samsung are never, ever, given a free ride when they mess up. Come on. Let's not be hyperbolic.

> The battery degradation issue is something that affects nearly all Li-Ion battery powered devices. This includes all Android phones, PC laptops, etc.

Irrelevant. It's not a question of whether the throttling is a valid solution to a technical limitation (it is). The problem is that (a) there were no major manufacturers throttling CPU speed due to battery health in phones, tablets or laptops before this. It was not a known practice. And (b) since Apple actively hid the throttling from everyone, including it's own employees, very few people were aware that a simple battery replacement would bring the phone back to like-new performance.

You seem to have gone from outright falsehoods - "They even mentioned the change in the original release notes for the iOS update" to mischaracterisation "Replacing the battery would have fixed the issue... It's not like they were holding it back." and now you've moved on to "what about the other guys!?" deflection.

It puzzles me how some people will so blindly defend Apple without critically looking at the facts. Just admit it was a mistake and looked really, really bad.

Apple has. Why not you?

And for the record, I'm a very happy Apple customer. I've used their computers exclusively since 2005 and their phones exclusively since 2010. I rely on their products and ecosystem to earn a living. But I'm not blind and I'm not stupid.

Look, as a journalist, what are you supposed to do? You don't actually know much - its not expected that you know everything about everything (who does). So you do journalism. You investigate and replay back your findings.

"Vox factually reporting the tech industry is eschewing handshakes" Is this a fact, or a lie? Did Vox fabricate this, or did they misconstrue and mislead?

"“experts” saying everything is fine" Did "experts" say everything is fine, or did they not? Again, is Vox outright lying? Did they mislead by picking poor "experts"?

I think that Vox.com's "assertive contrarian" tone-of-voice might have created some posts that look poor in hindsight (erring on the side of "not killing people" is probably for the best), but lets a) actually define the assertions against Vox's journalistic integrity and b) acknowledge that health officials were not exactly clear, consistent, and eventually correct.

No one hires new grads out of the goodness of their own heart. This is a tactical decision to drive value to the business. I've seen this manifest in two classes of company:

1. Underfunded companies who hire the young and ambitious because they're cheaper. This may be a tiny startup where you'll have an opportunity to learn a lot from the school of hard knocks, work crazy hours, and then vow to never do that again. Or this could be an older non-tech company that doesn't really value engineers and you'll stagnate.

2. Larger mature companies who can't hire enough Seniors. Big Tech needs a steady stream of new blood as their most talented engineers slowly leave to pursue other exciting opportunities. They are simply incapable of hiring replacements at the necessary scale, so instead they build a pipeline of new developers in the hopes that some percentage of them will level up in their skills and stick around for a while. With appropriate mentorship, it's sometime easier to grow a new Senior than to hire one.
I've found that the P100s tend to make me feel lightheaded pretty quickly. I tried to wear one on a very smoky drive from LA to SF during the fire season last year, but had to take it off after ~45 minutes because I felt my ability to concentrate on the road was being weakened too much. That would definitely be an issue for healthcare workers. I haven't experienced anything similar with an N95.
Well that would depend on what problem you are solving.
Okay, I read too much into what you were saying. Yes, you're right about all of that.
Yes, you could say that. But the idea behind what Protagoras is that if you could get people to reason well about what brings them pain and pleasure then they would always behave in a morally good manner, but for psychopaths that just wouldn't work.

There are some surprisingly resourceful groups doing local manufacturing in incredibly inefficient, seemingly-unscalable ways and actually producing masks and eye-shields by the thousands.

This is just in the Portland area. I assume there are similar efforts around the country and around the world.

Ideally this stuff should be made in factories rather than hundreds of bespoke 3d printers operated by volunteers, but if the need and motivation is there, a lot can be accomplished. Maybe it's not enough, but it's a lot more than nothing. And the longer this goes on, the more efficient the organization and manufacturing gets.

Normally the regular supply chain would handle all this, but if the supply chain is broken by hoarding behavior or the wrong kinds of active government intervention, the alternative is to bypass the usual market and use whatever local workforce volunteers or can be hired to make what's needed directly for the institutions in need.

We do need to be careful talking about "IFR" as with a disease with such high age-dependence demographic skews heavily alter population IFR.

Castiglione d'Adda has more people over 70 than Santa Clara County has over 65; population over 65 is about 60% higher relatively. Population under 18 conversely is about 22% lower.

Hard to do the math exactly, but if you simply switch 8.1% of your population from being children to being 80+, you raise IFR by 0.6% per the Imperial College China estimates. Combined with the hospital triaging Italy was doing, I don't think sub-1% IFRs in Santa Clara county are improbable. (though I do think this survey's claims are improbably low)

I imagined a large funnel.
The average car in the US has a 120 horsepower engine, less if it's a compact, more if it's a truck or SUV.

Think about that for a second -- your garage is housing the equivalent of 120 horses. How much "labor" is that?

Now, we don't really notice that when everything is working well and the gasoline keeps flowing. There are calculations that figure a gallon of oil has something like two weeks of 8-hour/day manual labor embedded in it, energy-wise (using the cute term "energy slaves"). Synthentic fertilizer is basically spending a crap-ton of energy to fix nitrogen -- google "haber bosch energy".

Especially with the covid supply chain disruptions going on now, though, I've been rethinking what "scale" means or if it's even the right metric to be going for. Permaculture has been really interesting to me last few weeks because it doesn't try to go for "scale" per se (though there are claims that properly done it's more productive per acre), but rather it tries to cycle as many energy flows as possible.

So if your yardstick is "how many bushels of corn per acre can I grow?" then yeah, permaculture doesn't 'scale'. But if your yardstick is "how do I get the most output while minimizing energy inputs" and accept that outputs aren't necessarily a monocrop but can be complementary outputs (corn + legumes + animals + fertilizer), then it starts to get really interesting.

I'm a developer not a farmer, but the systems-level thinking I've seen in the permaculture community is extremely fascinating. There's 'labor' embedded everywhere, the question is are you counting it.
yeah it was off the cuff. If you ask a 9 year old online if they're an adult, some will say "yes". I mean I guess it's their loss. Maybe a more direct approach is better.

"We've found adults and teens like different parts of youtube and use it differently. We want to make it the best for you. You can switch at any time, but tell us what best describes you:

* I'm an adult

* I'm not an adult.

"

youtube has this "for kids" app which came out after I first started pointing this difference in earnest around 2013, (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.and...) but it's not right and they clearly still cater their main interface to the habits of children who watch the same video hundreds of times - the insane repetition is a part of learning nuance and subtly in the context of content they don't have to actually pay attention to. It's all about learning the meta, super important. They know what happens, it's the silence in between they're excited about - that's the nature of play.

This app instead silos the kids into a playskool interface, great for people under 7 or so, but like our playground reform, we've made it completely unappealing for the 8-22 or so demographic (when I was a kid and there were ziplines into a bank of tires, you bet there were 20 year olds lining up to have a good time on those, we all have a need for play; freedom to err wrapped in relative safety).

Instead, it's data-driven UX for adults and data-driven UX for children - it's about separating the data, not a PTA-acceptable UX for overprotective parents.
They keep doing crazy things like the recent Covid alert, who knows what else they put in their code base. They've lost my trust.
I believe the strong build tooling you mention is what makes it much less painful to have things like high-level networking frameworks in 3rd party packages.
I still find the unlit or separate-booklight-lit grey kindle to be a lot easier to read than a self-lit white kindle.

And while a current kindle's light can be turned off, you control the light through the touchscreen interface, so if you have the light off and it's dark, you have no hope of turning it on, so you have to just always leave it on. It's a really stupid system.
