Eh, not really. Symbian was right for the wrong reasons. They were right to warn users about apps using internet access, but they were wrong about the reason - it was about data caps, not privacy or security.

Data caps mattered in that era, so from a narrow point of view it was the smart thing to offer those features. But to launch a category defining smartphone, that limitation needed to be broken entirely, and that involves work outside of software; namely, timing the launch such that you can negotiate with AT&T to ease the data restriction.

It's like saying RealPlayer 'won' against YouTube. No, they didn't. They just mistimed an idea, and a few implementation details were the same.

I've written more about this type of dynamic here: https://nickpunt.com/blog/category-defining-products/

Yeah, maybe it's different the further you are from the US or something, but from my use of hey, I have no idea what these people are talking about. It feels about as snappy as most other apps I use. If anything it feels snappier than my average app (though I think that has more to do with backend/network than the UI).
Yep, I think we're of one mind here. I'm not worried about the ARM architecture shift, but the whole direction of the platform makes me expect I won't be using a Macbook as my primary dev machine much longer.

Interestingly enough - for personal hacks (mostly cross-compiling Golang to ARM, natch) I'm actually using WSL lately, and it's definitely good enough. Not perfect, but nothing much is.
Decades ago it wasn't a crime to own a slave, hit your wife or stop certain groups from voting. Now it is. Just because what Snowden did (whistleblowing) was a crime at the time, doesn't mean that it should've been / should be. Especially if he was given no recourse. IIRC there were others before him who tried to go through the "legal channels", but got nowhere.

The proper course of action I find to bad faith is scorn and ridicule until they either look like absolute tools or flee.

They are after social capital so harm and belittle their social status as much as possible in return. Treat them like any other cowardly bully or predator and make yourself offically Not Worth It as a target because their capabilities will be harmed by the proverbial scratched corneas.

Probably not, as if you are a normal everyday investor like me you should not be investing in companies where its success hinges on a single person. I love Tesla but I have not invested in it because Musk could get hit by an electric semi tomorrow and the stock would tank.

I find it strange that most folks on HW are ardent defenders of encrypted communication, but when it comes to financial transactions, everyone seems to think it's a good thing governments have visibility.

Do you folks realize being able to read everyone's communications and being able to see, verify and control all financial transactions is the exact same curtailing of liberty?
Having built several Alpine and Debian-based images, Alpine has always been very nice for the happy path, but much more hassle to get out of a hole when something broke due to software misbehaving due non-Alpine assumptions.

Debian in Docker in comparison offer less surprises, but you have to consistently do the right incantations.

Hi Shen!
Got it. Thanks for clarifying. Let me restate.

This is almost ideal for what i'm looking for in a laptop. I wish there was an option to get a better screen and no nvidia.

I might be in the small group who wants this, but i wish it was easy to find a 15" laptop with a CPU like the one in oryx but without an NVIDIA gpu. I'd like to have a better cpu and i don't mind a laptop that's larger than the xps 13 or carbon, but i don't need/want a dedicated nvidia gpu. While we are wishing for things, please make more laptops with higher dpi screens. There are a lot of options for 1080p or lower, but very few good options (outside of macbooks or dell xps) that have high quality UHD displays.

I'm on the market for a new laptop and the screen quality is the only reason i'm even contemplating a macbook.
Oh, yes. The passive voice is not simply dismissed in this work as a tool to avoid responsibility. Rather, it takes its place as an important tool that can make paragraphs more coherent, by structuring the sentences to elevate the parts that really matter. The subjects of sentences in this paragraph, for instance, are all strongly related to writing concepts. This paragraph itself would be weakened if I were to begin, "Joseph M Williams promotes the passive voice." Our communication would only be hindered if we were to highlight the incidental matter of his authorship.

You guys are all describing the root problems we have been trying to solve with Agile for decades. It's gotten to the point where tech has thrown up thier hands and just exists to bill people for running around like a headless chicken.

I'm full-time at Fly. I'll let Jerome answer the fly-proxy question, since it's his code and I wouldn't want to inadvertently take credit.

I think I came across as grumbling about Rust when my real perspective was much more subtle. My take on Rust so far is that it has been, for me, a vindication of a lot of decisions the Go team made, because I've been directly exposed to some of the downsides of the opposite decisions. But, while that sounds like a critique of Rust, it's not! Rust is the way it is for real reasons: zero-cost abstractions and no runtime GC, which are, right now, requirements for some application domains.

For me, right now, writing in Rust feels almost identical to how writing in C++ felt 15 years ago. But I'll keep writing in it, and it'll get faster for me. We're a Rust-on-the-data-plane shop!

Yeah I had a hard time reading it without getting distracted. So I went to a website that converts pages to plain-text and the first thing that popped up was a newsletter modal.

So I guess point taken.
Switching between pages is pretty hit or miss for me in Notion. If it's a page I've been to recently it's very fast, but it's noticeably slow on some page loads. hey seems consistently pretty-fast.

Moving around elements doesn't seem like a fair thing to compare to navigating around the app... that's more like looking at how smooth text editing feels in Hey.

Mostly decent article, but one point - Android is hardly a libertarian free for all. Google controls the way apps must ask for permission.

If anything it shows that with just a single choice and no competition, android apps just all have to do the same shity thing. Opposite of libertarian.

> "You are really just complaining about the security model that the browser has chosen."

no, i'm not. everything we do is intimately tied together with huge slatherings of trust, browsing included. it's how societies and civilizations fundamentally work.

however, some entities like google have proven themselves less trustworthy. so let's move up the vendor ladder of trustworthiness, rather than staying stuck at the bottom.

> "...so what's the point of complaining about just a few online ones?"

with that kind of defeatism, what's the point of anything?

every improvement helps, particularly when it involves one of the, if not the, largest privacy-invading, data harvesting machines on the planet.
Given your disclosure presumably you know if it's true or not.

It's a weird way to phrase "I work on this, we don't capture any information about customers site visits" or "I work on this we don't capture any information about domain lookups" or whatever.

When a customer gets a contract with Comcast are you saying the contract includes that Comcast will not filter/log their domain lookups in any way?

To others: what's the penalty of they breech that contract? Do they actual have anything at risk?

In UK ISPs couldn't make such a contract as the gov obliges DNS filtering of some domains, AIUI.

>you can't figure out which part of your stack is causing them

If your debugging tools are halfway decent you certainly can.
fyi, generally when explaining things to non-practitioners, it's a detractor to add qualifiers like

- this is a very basic thing

- that's all there is to it

because although it is a basic thing to you, it's not a basic thing to someone who hasn't spent the same time studying all the concepts beforehand.

This is generally why you have to take a class to grok stats rather than just read some reference material and definitions.

It's similar to programming environments when the senior dev says some thing that requires a lot of context is just really simple.

Monads are Simply Just monoids in the category of endofunctors, after all, they are really Simple, that's all there is to it! (what the subject hears: This is so simple to me, why aren't you smart enough to get this simple concept? You should know this already—I shouldn't even have to make this comment! Why haven't you been properly educated, like I have? )
It's going to take a long time to move past the limitations of biology, and in the meantime we need lots of work on biology to save people we have today.

> It's not as easy as "let's fix dying neurons".

Fortunately, people working on the problem don't think it's that easy either. They're also not giving up on it just because it's difficult.

> You and your beloved ones are going to die. Just accept it.

Why is it important to you that people accept that particular premise (which I will never do), and thus stop working on the problem or supporting those who do? Why is it important to you to make this argument?

The first step towards solving a problem is refusing to simply "accept it".

> It's just that on long enough time probability of your pattern being destroyed goes to one, whether you are a living organism, a program or some handy-wavy.

We will have a very long time to deal with problems like the heat death of the universe, or shorter-term problems like our sun burning out, once we've dealt with more time-critical problems. We're not going to be able to suddenly flip a switch and everyone lives forever, but we can save as many people as we can and help them live longer and ultimately put the probability of everyone's continued survival as close to 1 as possible.

Imagine, just for a moment, a world in which actual death is so incredibly rare that one person dying makes news around the world, and after time is spent figuring out what went wrong and how to prevent it from happening again, people mourn the senseless tragedy.

> And if you really want to fight biology, why put longevity over decreasing suffering?

What makes you think I do? They go hand in hand. A huge amount of suffering arises from aging-related degeneration. People working on extending lifespans are in the process extending healthy life.
What made you go for yaml rather than your own DSL? For a service that's as programmable as relay, it seems nice to have better support for branching control flow for example.

Where can we read the contract?
I am very privacy focused and I do like this feature. I like it so much that I've cobbled together a bunch of tools to do essentially the same thing without relying on Google. I have a program on my phone that is always running and capturing my location and saving it to gpx files in a specific folder. That folder is synced to my desktop (directly over SyncThing), and I can evaluate the files easily with Python to see where I've been at any given time. I usually don't do anything with the gpx files, but there have been situations where I needed to know how long I was in a particular place over a longer period of time (for work) where it was incredibly useful to have the data.

One thing I've noticed is that Google must obviously do a lot of filtering and correction to the data, because my data is nowhere as clean as I've seen on Gmaps, and I haven't found a way to replicate that in any way. My data is totally sufficient for whenever I've needed it, but it's not perfect. The most I'll do is filter out data that is ridiculously out of bounds from what the data directly before and after say, but I wish there were a better solution (and if there is, I haven't found it yet).

I think one big problem with Google collecting all this data is that you don't own it. You can't choose to use this location data to solve your problems in a way that you'd prefer. Instead, you have to hope that Google has covered your needs for the data and if not, tough luck, you're stuck doing a lot of manual work.
The reality of this is that no matter what, someone is going to be upset with whatever you do. The bigger a voice you are the louder the boos become. There are plenty of groups that I am ok with being disliked by.

It comes down to your individual values, what you stand for and what your intentions are. If someone you don't know is attacking you, well that's probably not someone to listen to.
That's why I love mobile...and the people found a way to create modals there. Sigh.

As someone with a huge photography itch and a gear nerd who actually isn't a practitioner, can someone with domain expertise in photography and cameras give some insights or predictions in to what they see as the future of photography?

Hi Peter!
I remember reading somewhere that most (modal) dialogs are just lazy design. It's easier to have a dialog component and throw whatever notice or controls in there. It's a predictable and flexible canvas.

Your password is incorrect? Error dialog. Easier to design and build that a warning state on the text-boxes and a message close to the login button.

Writing a post? Editor dialog. It's easier to design and build than something that's inline, grows to accommodate what you're writing, and works predictably when you scroll away or click something else.

There's something the user should know? Alert dialog. Much easier than figuring out where in the component hierarchy you should inject a warning, how it should look, what controls you should disable, etc.
Kids were knifed and shot at my high school, which wasn't even in a city that's considered unsafe / high crime. There was a race war there too, in which dozens of kids brought baseball bats and put each other in the hospital. A kid was put stabbed with screwdriver and another kid was hit so hard in the head he had a seizure. These kinds of experiences led me to homeschool my own kids.
It's funny you say this about Canon, because in the circles of photography I inhabit, everyone shoots Fuji, Sony or film. It's fairly rare to even see a DSLR when I'm out hiking, say. But there's also a whole world of things like the Ricoh GR-1. I think overall photography can be larger than we realize, because most of us only spend time in a few areas of it.

This is exactly why I suggested actually reading the sources I posted before responding. The Google example has nothing to do with routing travelers. It was an algorithm designed to detect sentiment in online comments and to auto-delete any comments that were classified as hate-speech. The problem was that it mis-classified entire dialects of English (meaning it completely failed at determining sentiment for certain people), deleting all comments from the people of certain cultures (unfairly, disproportionately censoring a group of people). That's the dictionary definition of bias.
It’s really not the exact same. Money is a different type of thing from communication. People in general are much more okay with limiting what one can do with money than with communication for a number of reasons. The essential point is that money is power while communication is not. There are some things that we don’t want to allow people to have the power to do, so we have to restrict money usage and thus see how money is used.
