I'm not saying what Apple is doing is right, I am just asking a side question of why not use it. I just want to know _why_ something is an easy choice for me and not for someone else. Not judging Apple or the user. Just curious.

Hi HN!

Case of Art is a project I've been building off and on in almost 2 years. It's my first complex thing I've ever attempted to build and very excited to finally share it with the world.

The concept behind Case of Art is pretty straightforward: custom your own phone case with the help of our easy-to-use design tool.

You may wonder why it took so long? In the short answer I was trying to make the "perfect" product but in the reality it was just an excuse to cover the fear of putting the product out there.

I would love to get some feedback from you guys so that I can improve it.

I'm also curious to know how do you overcome being a perfectionist and get things done?

Thanks,
Former perfectionist

This has been a very long time coming. Apple finally joined FIDO in Feb of this year, so we knew it was right around the corner.
I will add that it's very common for what doctors believe to be "latent" T1D to be "triggered" by a viral episode.

The theory is that the body is somehow primed to have the auto-immune response, and that it is essentially inevitable, but it takes some unrelated stress/immune response to kick off the cascading failure.

In that regard it wouldn't be surprising to see the typical rate of T1D diagnosis just happening to be triggered by the currently predominant virus, i.e. COVID, but in that case you would expect to see the tell-tale antibodies, and the overall incidence rate of T1D in the population would not spike.
The discussion about this tech revolves around accuracy and racism, but the real threat is in global unlimited surveillance. China is installing 200 million of facial recognition cameras right now to keep the population under control. It might be the death of human freedom as this technology spreads

Edit: one source says it is 400 million new cameras: https://www.cbc.ca/passionateeye/m_features/in-xinjiang-chin...

Ahh I thought it was a quote from the OP.
>Amazon is sourcing their stock through standard channels.

This just isn't true. There's been plenty of lawsuits alleging that Amazon themselves sourced counterfeit product. Their supply chain for many products is not necessarily better than third party sellers.
Most paragraphs read fine, but the story itself is fairly incoherent.
I'm really struggling to empathize with your point here.

I SUSPECT you are expecting that the questionner is going to hold you to an incredibly high and rigorous bar and in fact I don't think that's true. If you say "It will improve our user's perceived client latency" i expect that is sufficient - IF TRUE.

And this is the key. In software everything is a tradeoff. I don't know what the tradeoffs with using React are, but tenerally the industry trend right now is React is worth it. But why? I think it's a fair question to understand that, otherwise you're just cargo culting an architecture without understanding it.

BTW blindly following a trend is itself a choice and a tradeoff. You might not need a deeper answer for using React than "A lot of people use React, so if we use React it'll be easier to hire people to continue to make changes." That's a valid technical decision to use something!

I'm not a frontend engineer, BTW. However I just googled Javascript Locality and React Locality and found basically nothing reasonable except https://stackoverflow.com/questions/45069206/does-data-local...

So I do feel like i'm going to illustrate my point here and ask you "What is locality in this context? Why is it important? Is React the only way to achieve it? What are we choosing as a tradeoff?"
Google maps is still pretty amazing. Maps and search are the only two Google products I still struggle to move away from.

>companies might see this as a potential avenue for new installs

it seems like the opposite of that to me. right now, if there's some task you want to accomplish (order a meal, rent a scooter...) you have to install the app to do that. With app clips, you get the option of completing the task without installing the app. as a user i love this, but it's definitely not going to drive app installs.
In general I've had bad luck with "cloud storage" applications such as Dropbox. A lot of it is that I lived behind a very slow DSL connection, so synchronizing a modest number of files could mean the DSL connection was degraded for all users.

I tried to give OneDrive a chance but the close integration with Microsoft Office meant that I frequently could not save the documents I was working on because OneDrive didn't want to save. The nagging to install OneDrive killed it for me because it caused lost work.

Microsoft did the same with OneNote. OneNote was a great notetaking application, but Microsoft managed to put two buttons on the taskbar, three on the desktop, commandeer the Print Dialogs and use every other trick in the book to trick people into using it. Then it a fit of mindlessness they removed the ability to have a local (non-cloud) Notebook and I was gone.

Farmers Business Network (fbn.com) is in SV operating in this space. Farmers take on huge amounts of risk, and we're helping them better their bottom lines.

I agree with your reading, it feels like most of his issues were due to very different culture and language.

As an European who attended university in four European countries I can attest how enriching and fulfilling those years have been, and how much I have grown.

I would strongly recommend studying abroad to anybody who has the chance. Even as an introvert it was easy to make friends.
If what he says is true, it also means that the creative thinking at the graduate level of many American STEM degrees has been limited. My friends who are professors in American Universities tell me that in a lot of their courses, there isn't an American student in their whole class; their classes are mostly Chinese. So if their whole group has gone through a hazing-education-process, conducted in a foreign language, they will have suffered the kind of spiritual harm described by the author. If they stay in the US to do their graduate work, chances are they won't be thinking out of the box.

> I cannot stand the smug "we're objective academics that base our beliefs on nuanced logic and facts" of, to add insult to injury, self-declared "rationalists".

The rationalist community has that tendency, but they also possess a willingness to listen to people no matter how cooky/bigoted/ignorant their opinions are, and that is very humble and empathic. SSC is the prime example of that ethic.

> I think it's time for some introspection if this is all it takes for mainly young privileged [white] men to start considering race science and the likes as unfortunate but actually true.

Calling for introspection among people with whom you share some mutual bond or allegiance is fair. Telling strangers on the Internet that they need to do some "introspection" on account of their wrongthink after judging them on the basis of their race and sex is pretty arrogant and despicable.
Brushing up or learning new skills is generally a good idea. There's lots of money in Java. C#/.Net is in a similar position, and might be worth looking into, depending on where you want your career to go.
I can relate a bit. I have been trying to 'degooglify' my life for sometime. Made these couple of shifts in the last two years:

* Chrome --> Firefox

* Google search --> DuckDuckGo

These are in pipeline:

* YouTube --> Newpipe (which is YouTube minus ads and tracking)

* Drive --> Mega.nz

* Gmail --> Protonmail

* Playstore --> F-droid (whenever possible)

At the same time, I have been using Google's Photos and Podcasts a tad more lately. Need to find good alternatives to these.
I’m still using Sublime Text because of its superior performance compared to most other editors, and I’ve recently been super impressed by the NeoVintageous plug-in [1].

Keeping your private information private
It looks from some of the images that the feds had access to the unlocked phone(s). But, yeah, in my admittedly fairly quick read of the affidavit, it wasn't particularly clear--perhaps deliberately--how exactly the feds gained access to all the messages they're using as evidence. (Assuming the defendants challenge how the FBI obtained that info, IANAL but it may make sense to give as few details as possible at this stage.)
This video shows Touch ID being used with a laptop, not Face ID.

The interface is generic, so it should use Face ID on devices that have Face ID hardware, and Touch ID on devices that have Touch ID hardware.
macOS screenshots appeared to be PDF natively for the first few years, which made sense since their window compositor was operating what appeared to be a PDF canvas in-memory. They're still clearly using a PDF-like canvas, since there are certain windows that aren't included in screenshots — but what's underneath them is — which is not possible without a layered canvas somewhere. I think after the first decade they stopped offering .PDF screenshots and switched to .PNG now, and based on other replies alongside yours, it's likely they'll be replaced by HEIF soon, but it bodes well for improvements here that their screenshot engine has access to the original layers.

(This isn't just relevant to Apple users — imagine if Photoshop's PNG/HEIF encoder could export blurred segments with lower byte density than unblurred segments, for example. Folks generally are not used to thinking about fidelity-sensitive image encoding, and that's why this is so interesting to me.)
If you're interested in improved regular expressions, I wuold suggest you have a look at Raku's regular expressions and grammars (formerly known as Perl 6): https://docs.raku.org/language/regexes
You still definitely need to know COM to write Windows apps. I had to learn a lot of COM in the last five years. Granted, the Windows desktop isn't exactly a growth market nowadays. (Note that all the apps I've worked on are cross-platform and aren't Windows-specific, so COM use is limited to implementations of the platform abstraction layer.)
At one of the early TwilioCons (second, I think?) we had a competitor set up in front giving away coffee and donuts. It was amusing and showed how desperate they were.

If you're targeting competitors' customers after they've spent the time, money, and effort to come to a conference, they're probably not a good prospect. They're deep and unlikely to switch easily or quickly. There are much better targets elsewhere.

25 years ago is 1995, and around the release of Windows 95, the first 32-bit version of Windows.

A .exe compiled 25 years ago would probably be a 16-bit executable, and Windows stopped supporting Win16 code in Windows 7. WINE theoretically supports it, but 16-bit userspace code and a 64-bit kernel do not mix well.

Yep, mental exhaustion is undoubtedly a thing! I'd love to see how heart rates change with something like test question difficulty.

I don't agree in this case, the Windows Scan app [0] contains all the features you'd need from a scanner app in a clear interface. It's like the hidden scan utility from macOS, for simple cases like scanning one you don't need a complicated app with a menu.

Yes, I read the document.

I'm not a lawyer, but the reasoning is problematic to me because it draws equivalence between discovery via the attorney after receipt of the documents and interception of the documents before they reach the attorney, arguing that since the former is standard procedure and the latter is equivalent then the latter is acceptable. However, we may reasonably anticipate that sealed messages and packages sent from clients to their attorneys will often contain legitimate privileged communications, so what we have here is basically the government saying don't worry, we're going to read any and all privileged communications you do send, but trust us—we'll forget all of it.

The court's reasoning seems to handwave this concern with allusions to "filter teams". Given that they're essentially acting on behalf of the prosecution, I don't find that particularly satisfying, especially since the use of "parallel construction" by local and federal law enforcement, often acting together, is not unheard-of.

I'm sure there's precedent for all of it. Often when we're talking about relatively unaccountable federal agencies, this kind of precedent seems to arise from the government asking for forgiveness rather than permission, so to speak—so this is not an argument that what is isn't what is, but rather that, given the spirit of attorney-client privilege doctrine, I find this reasoning deeply unsatisfying.

I agree that relying on defendants and their attorneys to be truthful in discovery is, perhaps, equally problematic from a law enforcement perspective. That's where we should start throwing other things onto the balance, like concern for erosion of civil liberties.

If they X-rayed the package and saw it was just a knife or gun or whatever in there, I could see an argument for seizing it as evidence. But if it's just information storage devices—say, a printed document, impossible to distinguish as privileged or not without reading it, is the government justified in seizing it and deciding for themselves? Why then does the government not enjoy the right to read every single communication between client and attorney, and to bug the rooms where they meet, given that the government must be allowed to efficiently slurp up all non-privileged information that passes between them and can be trusted to ignore what is privileged?

This is not disregard for human life. This is nature.
Nope, we will.
Weird, you could print off Library Genesis and get better results than that.
You need both for a robust system. Simple example: On system startup, a system should poll for the current config. It should keep polling every few minutes to verify that it hasn't missed any pushes.

But it should also register for push notifications of config changes so it can get them faster.

It should also renew its subscription if it finds that it missed an update during poling.

This. I wish I had thought of your example first.

We have service agreements that go through revisions. We copy the whole directory when there's a new release to ensure we don't lose old templates. At that point search on service agreements brings up a bunch of identically named documents in a listing that does not distinguish the directory location. It's actually caused us to send the wrong doc on several occasions.

Google if you are listening please fix this. Just do what everyone else does. You don't have to be creative.
Webauthn actually fully supports this model as "platform authenticators", ie hardware security modules built into the client system. You see this on the windows side too where "Windows Hello" integrates with the TPM and acts as a platform authenticator as well.

No need to speak roughly.
From the Brandenburg v Ohio wiki page:

>
The U.S. Supreme Court reversed Brandenburg's conviction, holding that government cannot constitutionally punish abstract advocacy of force or law violation

Brandenburg was an individual private citizen advocating "abstractly" for violence against black and Jews as a representative of his private organization (the KKK). His speech rights were protected then by the case.

However, we will almost certainly have court cases in the near future that will test the protections of hate speech, which is what we would more readily call Brandenburg's speech today.

POTUS is a public official and in this incident was speaking in his role as a public official with the power to use force, and issuing a concrete threat against a specific target. He is speaking as the government itself because he is invoking the government's powers.

It's not at all clear that Brandenburg v Ohio protects this sort of speech. There is plenty for the courts to still consider.

Everyone knows google is "better" software. Just like employees are promoted to one level above their potential, companies always push the envelope one step too far when pushing for growth/monetization. Google has been pushing way too much, way too often.

At this point, something that doesn't read my emails, give any bullshit law enforcement request a master key, and doesn't try and abuse the spirit of antitrust laws at every step is worth trying out, even if it's just only workable.
