That's kind of what I thought too. Our app is very Modal heavy (including modal inception), but I can't think of any case where the suggested alternatives would actually be better. And that's backed up by the fact that our users regularly tell us how easy and awesome it is to navigate through it.
This is anhistorical; Nokia abandoned the Meego project with/after the burning platform memo. The Linux Foundation abandoned the Meego project and adopted Tizen afterwards, in part because of Nokia's departure
This was my experience also. It's bad enough that it's effectively useless and requires extensive validation.
"Genes" remaining immortal is quite distinct from an organism remaining immortal. I would say that death+reproduction is a better solution to preserving genes than immortality.

And I would like to persuade you to stop that, because I believe that in doing so you're making it marginally more likely that more people will die.

What would it take to convince you that whatever problems you're envisioning, they are not worse than 150,000 people dying every day, or 100 people ever minute? Take whatever value you attach to an individual specific identified human's death, say someone you actually care about dying rather than just a statistic, and try to imagine that happening almost twice a second, forever. There are problems that are still worth considering in comparison to that, but they're few and far between, and they all also involve human lives (e.g. "making the planet uninhabitable"), so they need solving at the same time and nobody is arguing for not solving them.
Personally I hate conflating the URL entry space with the search query space. Which is why I was so disappointed that Firefox removed my ability to separate them recently.
Could this be fixed with xrandr?
Sadly I think this is specifically a Safari bug, so it pretty much has to go into Feedback Assistant. (I figure if you file a bug for WebKit they'll tell you to go report it there anyways.)
I love my Ricoh GR and bought it nearly 6 years ago. The camera is an amazing combination of an APS-C sized sensor in a pocketable form factor combined with a fixed focal length lens (which is superb) that is perfect for an everyday carry.

They only just came out with the GR III (the II was almost no change and didn't do well).

Their design choices are baffling. You could set up the GR to have tactile physical controls for all the things you may want to change on the fly, but the GR III has a touchscreen instead. It also has a 30% lower battery life (which wasn't exceptional to begin with).

Though I suppose the USB-C port is an improvement.
I use a 13" 4k at native resolution (no upscaling/doubling) as my daily driver. I get that you don't see the use for more than 1080 at 15", but for some of us the choice to have more is needed.
They get what they paid for.
"Euthanasia" just means "good death". And in common usage it means killing something not as punishment or to serve your own interests in some way but for the "greater good"; so executions aren't euthanasia, slaughtering animals to process their bodies or as by-kill in pursuit of some other aim is not euthanasia, and killing for sport or amusement is not euthanasia. Basically, it's killing with regret and respect for the being killed and without selfish intent.

So "euthanasia" doesn't mean what you suggest it means.
Is there a bug in the command line parsing there? I can't see it.

Awesome, thanks for testing this out!

A 3x slowdown is not as bad as 6x, but it's still quite a bit. I also saw a slowdown of ~4x when I tried this experiment on a native Linux x86_64 running ARM - perhaps the Mac -> Linux virtualization slowed it down further.

5x may have been a bit alarmist, but regardless we should brace ourselves for a big performance hit on x86_64 virtualization.
"Modal" isn't precise enough, then.

Imagine you're playing a game and you click "Options" and a modal window pops up with the options you can tweak. Or an endless image gallery where clicking an image enlarges it inside a modal that you can dismiss to resume scrolling without losing your place.

It didn't wrongfully force you out of experience, it's what you wanted.

Seems like we're talking about getting in the way of users where crappy modals are just one way of doing that. Navigating to a new page seems even more jarring in TFA examples.

A good enough test suite can mean you don't need manual testers. I have worked on such teams.

Those tests don't need to be done by TDD though!

TDD is primarily a design practice. That a test suite comes out of it is very nice, but not the main benefit.
I would really love to see the macOS 11 beta running on something other than DTK as a hackintosh.

Head of product/engineering at a mid-sized enterprise SaaS company. Helped grow the company from <10 to >500 employees.

Head of product/engineering at a mid-sized enterprise SaaS company is maybe comparable to PM/SDM/pushing senior manager at a BigCo or at a larger unicorn. Knowing actual C levels at large successful companies, I would say that when it comes to pathways towards C-levels at a larger private company or a public company, the author is no more qualified to comment than I am. This post is misleading to folks earlier in their careers. I would say it's actively harmful.
So I didn't see anything on your site on my cursory glance at it, but I'd like to know if you have any use cases replacing Jenkins Pipelines and Helm deployments into an OpenShift/Kubernetes environment? I'm writing a lot of Jenkins pipelines now and groovy is killing me!
I totally agree but I was explaining that to practionners, or at least people who consider themselves data scientists. I agree that it is by no means a beginner friendly explanation.
There’s a pretty simple explanation, and I think the behavior is almost certainly a bug or a UX edge case they overlooked.

The entry in safari is acting only as a search box it seems, and Go takes you to the first result that is finds - which is the first result on Google, likely a paid ad, or just coincidentally a higher ranking.

If you visit the realty.com site directly (Not suggesting this is a workaround, see thread), then type it in, Safari remembers it and gives it higher priority. This seems to be a quirk of a “first visit” UX - it still is meaningful to anyone who has competitors with similar names, and I’d call it a bug to not check the domain first, though assuming good intent, maybe it does, but something about that domain is not right for some heuristic (HSTS, something else?)
So shouldn't Monero be more popular?
I appreciate your constructive input. What was inaccurate about the parent comment?

P.S. I resent being called an average HN punter. I am definitely a below-average HN punter.
> its a rebranded Clevo laptop and kinda ugly. It feels cheap to me despite the aluminum chassis.

I've been interested in buying a System76 unit for awhile (specifically a Darter Pro), but I've always been concerned about their sourcing from Clevo. I previously owned a Sager which was also sourcing from Clevo at the time and the build quality was absolutely horrible.

Can anyone who has used a System76 for awhile chime in regarding the longevity of the hardware?

As I was typing in "Style: Towards Clarity and Grace" I was thinking Huh? Wouldn't "Toward" be much better?! And indeed that's what it is. Made me feel good about my copy-editing potential.
This is kind of a dumb article. It's not like those of us in the computer industry don't already know about ARM. Before Apple's announcement you could run Risc OS on Raspberry Pi — It is one of the more prominent install images for RPi — It's not like Risc OS is what Mac OS on ARM is going to look and feel like.

Ugh. These kind of articles annoy me.
As someone who recently switched to Sony from Canon; I don't recall ever having to 'learn' the menu layout with Canon. It was just pretty obvious. I'm 100% sure that I never read the user manual and I never googled how to find anything in the menus.

The Sony layout on the otherhand is just terrible. Sure, you can customize all the programmable buttons and menus and it gets much better, but it still takes a long time to learn. Also, had to watch a ton of youtube videos of people changing settings on their camera (the fact that there are so many for Sony cameras should hint to how terrible the menu is).
Ha, I didn't even notice that! Yeah, it's gotten really aggressive about thinking it knows better than you…
I've also been cut off from most of the traditional banking for most of my professional life, and my only crime was being born in Venezuela.

Yes, I know Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies aren't being used by everyone. Yes, I'm aware of the risks and the costs. But it's still a huge boon as crypto allowed me to transact at all when it was physically unfeasible to do so.

I've said it before and I'll keep saying it until such reality changes: most people who disregard cryptocurrency as just a fad can afford to think that way. Their needs are served by traditional banking, and that's fine! But it's not the reality for an important amount of people who are unbanked for whatever reason: their past, their actions (whether moral things considered illegal and thus they're prosecuted, or legal things that society consider immoral and thus they're censored) or even just a geographical accident.
I didn’t know they were doing this but I agree with the sentiment of the letter. It’s no different than any other social technologies... the community builds it then the company co-opts it (and usually monetizes it AND the quality degrades).

Anyone looking to automate certificate management at any sort of scale should read this: https://docs.https.dev/acme-ops

I wouldn't say I'm missing the point. I agree that coders need to know how to write text. My point was that for coders writing is not the thing you do on the side, coding itself IS writing.

That's why I said that "even" should be "especially".
I'm very curious to see this transition to ARM play out. There is a lot of software that will now be compiled for ARM that can potentially be used in open-source projects on much more cost-effective boards. Music (VST) plugins come to mind.

Indeed this does look very useful.

I had a quick glance over this, but for contexts which are defined as remote ssh hosts, I couldn't see where the images are obtained. Are they being built remotely on the host, or are they being downloaded from your local machine over a tunnel or via a docker registry?
Yes exactly. Anyone rich can be a scientist with the right PR. This us the postmodern dystopia we live in. (Alternatively, always has been like that, in some sense.)

Infrastructure spending should have one of the best returns on investment that government spending can. It generates economic activity during the build phase, and continues to deliver a return after completion.

"Just move" isn't a reasonable alternative. Many people in rural areas can't afford to live anywhere else - having access to decent internet might help change that.
Just to clarify - it doesn't monitor your certs. It actually measures the performance of the Let's Encrypt CA.

We purchased 400 domain names to get round rate limits so we can request 80,000 certs / week and measure the uptime and latency.
It would be interesting to see stats from the CAs about which of the Blessed Methods is most popular. (This article is about Let's Encrypt using tls-alpn-01 which is an implementation of 3.2.2.4.10 "TLS Using a Random Number"). Doubtless Fly aren't the only people doing tls-alpn-01 in bulk but we don't have a good overview as far as I'm aware.

In principle they can all generate those statistics because they (are supposed to) log enough information to identify what went wrong when, inevitably, something is misissued. Logically that also includes at least which method was used to verify domain authorization or control.

One of the things wrong at Symantec is that it turns out some of the records were notionally kept at CrossCert, a separate Korean company. CrossCert simply did not keep any records (or if it did they were in such disarray that it seemed less likely to attract retribution by refusing to disclose them) and Symantec had seemingly never checked.

Knowing which methods are popular with Subscribers, and whether that varies considerably between CAs would be valuable in trying to figure out how more of the worst Blessed Methods can be deprecated or improved, and who we need to be talking to about that.

For example maybe Let's Encrypt is doing almost all the 3.2.2.4.19 ("Agreed Upon Change to Website - ACME") then there's no point ragging on other CAs for the shortcomings of relying on plaintext HTTP in this method. Or maybe DigiCert are doing a lot of 3.2.2.4.15 ("Phone Contact with Domain Contact") so they are the people to talk through any proposed improvements around stuff like leaving a Voice mail.
That all assumes that you use the same port for all those things, right? Which is one of the points of SRV, to not have to squeeze everything into one canonical port. With a SRV record you could route https to whatever port suited you and rotate that out when rolling out changes,

The general idea of what you're offering is clear. But your copy is missing some critically important information: where does your AI run, how does it get live call audio, and how do you do that in a way that keeps that call audio data private (where "private" here means "CLINQ doesn't have access to it either, even if they wanted to")?
I have a Dell Precision 7510 with the same sort of layout: off-center touchpad/spacebar and a numpad.

Personally, I find the numpad to be incredibly useful (and it's nice having it be there without having to lug around some extra gadget just for that purpose), and the fact that the touchpad is off-center is pretty irrelevant (as in: I don't think about it, and it doesn't really affect anything at all).

It does help, though, that even on a desktop I have a tendency to shift the keyboard somewhat to the left relative to my body (in fact, that's how I'm typing right now), so I guess I'm used to it. Still, switching between the Precision and my work ThinkPad (which lacks a numpad, and therefore doesn't need to offset anything) gives me no trouble at all.

On that note, I have exactly three requirements when shopping for a "mobile workstation" like that:

1. A numpad (even if it's one I access by holding down some Fn key to change the behavior of other keys)

2. A Trackpoint or equivalent

3. No NVIDIA GPU (ain't nobody got time for proprietary drivers)

My Precision passes all three of those with flying colors. This Oryx fails all three of those AFAICT.
Lol, it's not just about data privacy. Right to repair, right to deliver apps without a 30% fee to my business, right to payment method I prefer, like cryptocurrencies.

Agreed. There's also the Fujifilm X-Trans sensors which try to recapture some of the magic of film. However I really wish more people knew about Sigma and their Foveon sensors[1].

The fact is that there is a completely different technology on the market which produces very different – and arguably far superior – image quality and colour reproduction compared to 99% of digital cameras on the market. The Sigma system can be clunky and the sensor tech has its drawbacks (eg almost unusable above 200 iso), however given the right conditions the images they produce can be stunning.

Any non-reference book which can be "read" in this manner probably isn't worth engaging with anyways.

Of course such material can be digested quickly.

The US doesn't accept medical degrees from Pakistan, or most other countries either. Immigrant doctors have to redo much of their training which is why many of them choose to switch careers instead.
One thing I like to do is preview a link by Force clicking on it in my browser and scrolling through it–the preview window lets me scroll, but not interact with the page. For many sites this is quite convenient, because I can skim the page without being interrupted. But when modals pop up they cover the content and I can't read the page because I can't dismiss them! So if you're looking for another reason to drop modals, here's one.

Also, hilariously this website uncovers a bug in Safari where the cursor doesn't reset once you leave the page bounds, so I have a huge pixellated cursor hanging around until I click somewhere else :P
This might not be as bad as it seems.

At least in the US, the inherent security of nuclear weapons is kind of incredible.

I can't be bothered to find a reference, but it's expected that an agency with nation-state level resources in possession of a weapon _and_ its blueprints still would not be able to detonate it.

Modals switch the application normal mode to get your attention. So they interrupt your “flow”.

Most of the reasons to use them could be resolved by other means, that are better in terms of UX but requires more work in both design and implementation:

- Confirmation modals can be substituted with auto-save, undo, and restore, but is more complex to implement.

- Modals to show more info can be resolved with progressive disclosure or by improving the information architecture.

However, like with many design choices there are cases where modals are a good option. For example, for certain confirmations and navigation the advantage of the modal is that the backdrop makes clear where do you go after dismissing the modal (bottom sheets in mobile are a example).

Another reason why modals get a bad rep is that they have all sorts of implementation issues in web, and in the desktop the mode change for a window is not prominent (macOS solves that with sheets, but Windows still has that problem)
