> I kind liked washing machines that properly heated to 90C and vacuum cleaners that actually picked up dirt.

This is a problem if you have one rule for different countries, although the EU should be praised that it made an effort at least.

In my region drinking water is no problem. On the contrary, due to washing machines and appliances using less water, waterworks needs to pump water through the pipes regularly to keep them clean. It is also advisable to do that in your home from time to time.

The vacuum cleaners decision was just bad in my opinion. You will take a longer time to use it which removes the energy advantages.

The lighting stuff they did was decent, although I think that light bulbs would have been a thing of the past without regulation due to high energy costs.
You might think that - but those pseudo news sites with random "one trick" type crap whose page elements keeps moving around are worse.

I have the opposite problem trying to get more text on our recipe pages - I am sure some designers would design a recipe e page with no text if we let them.
> Wasteful compared to what?

Obviously, it is more energy-intensive than an RTGS (ie. a traditional central bank), which also sports low volatility.

But even if you want a distributed, open-membership system, Stellar has only a marginal increase in energy consumption, a tiny slimmer of the amount needed for Bitcoin. (Obviously, it is volatile, though.)
Id love to do the conversion on both directions. Grams -> Volume (in caps, tbsp, or milliliters). Happens as well people may not have weigh scale.
Learning the gameplay is reading a related wikipage, which is acceptable. The hard/annoying part is learning UX. It really shouldn't be that complicated. Talking to people in adventure mode, managing jobs (as you said, dwarf therapist is practically a must since the base interface is just horrible), managing armies, hospitals... everything is a chore and you need a tutorial for everything. And every UX in game is different.

To dig for example. You have to create a designation for it. But how do you know that unless you watched a video/read a tutorial? On top of that if something is wrong, the game gives you very little clue. Do you have a dwarf with digging task? Is he available? Does he have pick? Can he pathfind? The game gives you no answer other than not initiating the digging (edit actually my bad, i think it gives you some logs for some cases.). Stuff like that is a hard barrier for most players and they won't be able to continue unless they are really committed.
It seems a lot of arguments like this are based on immediate conviction. I'm totally not for that. I think your identity should be verified using other means before being arrested when possible.
> BTW: iPhones regularly get software updates for around 5 years. How's that for extending the lifetime of devices? Android phones are lucky to get significant software updates for more than one year.

After Android devices stop getting updates, you can continue with alternative OS or you can use F-Droid basically forever. All your apps will have updates.

When Apple devices stop being supported, they turn into bricks.
I feel like when Brave's similar behavior was posted on HN a week or so ago, the company itself was getting a lot more hate for what I think is a less egregious behavior.

Why the discrepancy?
It does, I do work in that space (for a major brand) and for recipes those with 500-800 words rank better - look at the data from SemRush.
I'll be the first to admit I don't have the answers to all your potential questions on hate speech. If only there were experts on the subject that Facebook could add their moderation team to help answer these difficult questions.
On what cadence do you do this? Every release?
Is it me or are most emotional appeals? I was expecting some charts or spreadsheets showing why it would be a good investment.
I have the opposite. I have a now two year old midrange Lenovo Yoga and a brand new midrange MBP. The MBP runs hot under Thunderbolt, becomes unresponsive under even moderate load, and requires a dance of "turn the monitor on, turn the monitor off, unplug the cable, plug the cable in" everytime I wake it from sleep with an external monitor. I've had to download software to turn the fan curve to "always on all the time", because the combination of Radeon + Thunderbolt hits 70 degrees at idle, and if I don't, the CPU throttles to nothing.

I can definitely see why the coffee-shop set would love this machine, since it works really well on the couch (disconnected from everything) but it's been borderline unusable tethered to my desk. In that situation, I don't care about the large trackpad, because I use the same external mouse as on all my other machines.

Don't even get me started on third party software quality.
> the same way that those involved with the recent floyyd protests will be labelled as opportunistic thugs looking to destroy property and assault people

This is so disengenuous as to veer into the realm of absurdity. You seem to be completely ignoring the actual intent of the two groups in attempt to conflate them to defend your argument. Not to mention both side-ing them is an absolute joke.

The intent of the floyd protests wasn't to loot and destroy property. It was to protest his death. The fact that some took this opportunity to do so does not affect the actual intent which was upheld in many other places and protests.

The intent of the other group was explicitly racist. Organized by far-right groups and quite literal Nazis.
If the self driving cars are significantly safer than human drivers, it's a bit hard to argue that self driving cars should be banned.

But for UIs obviously this idea didn't work, and why should it, running in circles (e.g. changing colors, fonts, or button outlines) doesn't get you anywhere.

With the switch to a new UI paradigm (multi-touch) we lost discoverability, predictability through standard behaviour, shortcuts etc... why were UI designers not able to come up with innovations that improve the state of the art? Instead, touch UIs peaked with the first iPhone and since then became worse because more features were added without (I assume) serious usability research.

Instead of attempting to solve the actual problems that need solving, UI designers have retreated into their cozy corner of changing some completely unimportant surface details every couple of months, that's just an illusion of innovation. Smoke and mirrors.

Simple enough... because hype is what gets funded. You tell people about the vast engineering challenges that lie ahead, and they'll term you a downer and not fund you. Ironically, this policy ends people like working for such "haloed" geniuses.
Detoxil Burn Review, Legit or a Scam?
Yes but have you seen software - almost anything that's been developed since the growth of mobile platforms has basically done the exact opposite of what that field of science teaches.

Cloud-Native Application Bundles-Containerisation with Cloud-Native Applications
Safari autocomplete on macOS is such a mess. Ever since I switched to DuckDuckGo, I have to give it about two seconds between when I type a word and when I can arrow down into the suggested pages and click enter. Otherwise, when the suggested results from DDG come back the arrow position is reset and I end up tapping enter to go to the wrong page. Didn’t have this issue with google search or chrome.
That is why somehow decentralized applications have to be better than centralized ones.
Of course not. They can advertise where they want. Were they fairer in its implementation I'd say YouTube's "not advertisement" friendly model is a good way to handle these problems.

My issue here is their intention is to boycott Facebook into censoring my speech. If they simply suspended advertising then fine, but they're claiming they're doing it as part of a wider protest to force companies to regulate what I can say online.

I don't have a perfect answer, but I do believe more regulation is needed. These "platforms" are the modern equivalent to 20th century communication technologies like the telephone. We should be extremely careful about allowing a service as important as Facebook the legal right to curate our speech so that we're advertiser friendly.

You might be able to get apple to repair it at an exorbitant cost relative to the price of the part. Apple dies not provide spare parts to third party repair shops. If you can't repair an item for a reasonable cost regardless of how easy it is it's still not repairable.
I think you've misread; the referenced tweet is about dismay over the anger that got the colleague fired.
While this is cool pet project (intentional pun), Microsoft Basic 6502 was, in my personal opinion, one of the worst BASIC implementations of that era. If we're going early 80s BASIC then I'd prefer to use BBC BASIC which supported functions amongst other things -- albeit still not as readable as modern structured programming.

There's still a few BASIC implementations floating about for modern systems too. FreeBASIC (https://www.freebasic.net/) is one worth checking out.

Personally I still have quite a few of those 80s micro computers and occasionally hook them up to teach my kids programming.
The reason for typescript is support and uptake; it 'feels' enough like C#/Java for many people to jump on. Purescript & ReasonML feel alien to most developers.
Apple seems to be one of the worst offenders in terms of repairability of their devices. You can watch e.g. Louis Rossmann's videos on Youtube, he goes into great detail on how Apple tries to make it impossible for anyone except themselves to service their laptops, even going as far as to restrict market suppliers from selling specific microchips (that were not invented by Apple) to anyone but Apple.

I imagine this will only become worse as they switch to their own CPUs in the near future. I expect that Macs will become more like iPhones in that Apple will restrict more and more which software you can easily run on them and how you can extend the devices.

Other manufacturers like Dell or Lenovo do a much better job in terms of repairability IMHO: They build their machines with mostly standard components that can be easily replaced and make them easy to open and service. Compare that to recent Apple devices: If you want more RAM or storage in your device they charge you 5-10 times the market price. They also make sure you will never be able to upgrade those things yourself by soldering them to the mainboard.
If you don't read the documentation, sure, it's hard to guess how things work, but it's hardly the responsibility of the tool maker to change that.

If people try to reimplement things in arbitrary broken shells scripts (the user issues) that can't be run locally, then it's not the CI tool's responsibility either.
It will be fine.

There will be likely a shaky-ish transition period but we'll get there and my _personal_ expectation is that it will be better at the end.

I remember struggling with 16 GB RAM limit due to lack of LPDDR4 support on Intels until very recently, poor thermals, and other issues.

I look forward to better battery life and inevitably a more mainstream ARM adoption.
Why do you think their opinions don't coincide with mine? I support the extreme left party in my nation and I vote. I'm also open minded enough to follow news from the left and the right so I can attempt to understand all viewpoints as I feel democracy relies on having many different views to bring balance. When I look at the right wing news I actually see some of the pain that racial slurs like Karen have on real people.

When you watch the both sides of the news you realise that there is racist, horrible behaviour occuring on both sides. I do see a huge imbalance in social power though. I believe that stacking committees with extreme left views will end up harmful due to few checks and balances.

I know about racial history in my country. Some of my black ancestors were taken from their families as babies to be raised proper by whites, google "Australian Stolen Generation" if you want to read more. That's the power language like N* had. What I don't want is for my children to be attacked because of their white skin due to the power of words in the modern world.

Have a look at the post I made 20 minutes ago if you want to see a link that shows the power of Karen and the pain it can cause people.
Technical writing is absolutely a skill that developers need to know, among many other kinds of writing and it doesn’t have any gravitas.
I would go even further in your argument and say that the escape-hatches are a requirement to keep the centralized system in check. This is a bit like the free market argument in the sense that it creates competition.
Would be cool to have a standard for measuring the difficulty of repairing software.
Zoox meet Rivian, Rivian this is Zoox.

Curious to see how that pans out.
I think you can emulate it, but it's a bit awkward.
That doesn't surprise me. The crowd of people who are aware of the fairphone are most likely techies. And I would wager techies are much more likely to replace a Phone then the Generic Apple user.
Low-level 'Swift' Optimization Tips
What about the 90C?

Is there a regulation that forbids it or it is merely an energy efficiency thing?

One of the things I loved about RiscOS was a small UI feature. There were no open or save dialogs. Instead, when you saved a file, it minimised to its icon and then you dragged it to the relevant folder. To open a file, you located it and double-clicked.
I often hear the argument that BitCoin is unsuitable for small transactions. That's certainly the case (at least in recent years).

What I don't understand is why people don't then just use one of the literally thousands of other currencies -- most of which handle small transactions just fine.

For small transfers I use DogeCoin and the fee is 0.2 cents.
Is this ignoring that we not only had a Nazi movement back before the war but also the fact that we put Asian Americans into camps, had a long period of treating Irish Americans as 2nd class citizens? This is without going into the big issues of slavery much of which still show signs today in how our police system treats black Americans.

What part of all of that makes us the most tolerant exactly?
As a UX designer, I've worked with plenty of things that isn't strictly UI. Unless you count functions like the support staff a kind of UI, which it arguably is (a kind of UI to the company or service offered).

At some point, I started calling myself "service designer" instead, because UX as a concept was fairly easily appropriated by visual designers (I guess what you call "UI designers") to mean "appearance."

Otherwise, what term do you use to mean that you're working to improve the experience of using a service across all interaction points it offers? I.e., across boundaries of particular screens, particular systems, particular company functions, or even particular companies in a few cases.

But I'd like to point out that it sounds like that, even while criticizing the wasteful focus on "look and feel," the look and feel seems to be exactly what bothers you, not the functionality behind it. If only functional changes mattered, we wouldn't register either way if they decided change the visuals of the system. You wouldn't need skins if the impact of it were immaterial to you.

It ends up that visuals are functional as well, and there's no hard line to draw between aesthetics and functionality. If I were to draw up a system that has great information architecture, navigation/findability, affordances, and the rest of it, but used terrible contrasts and font-weight: 100 everywhere, I would still have failed at making it usable.

I do agree that many designers seem to have some kind of pornographic relationship to UI, where they revel in it for its own sake. Personally, I consider UI to be cartilage: there should be as little as possible of it (but not less), and it should perform its function and stay out of the way as much as possible.

What "be as little as possible of it" and "staying out of the way" means is very contextual to service itself and the people using the service, which is why it is hard to establish a universally objective notion of what this means. It always ends up being an exploration to balance a vast set of variables.

Maybe Apple is completely right in making macOS more iOS-like, since familiarity is one way of staying out of the way, and they seem to want to focus on people who own an iDevice, but no Mac. But their current take on it has me worried that they've lost interest in accessibility (in all meanings of the word) as a design goal.
This is what I mean:

Content size doesn't change in my case and I would highly advise against changing the sizing of elements on the page for something like this.

The buttons are sized vertical based on the content up to a limit.

> Yes, there is an enormeous amount of technology integrated into a smartphone or compact laptop, but my wristwatch contains over 100 moving parts in a tiny volume

I'm not sure what the point here is, a CPU contains 50 billion parts in a tiny volume, it's impossible to fix things this small if they break.

If a capacitor or resistor burns, you can probably open up your PC, look at the motherboard, find the faulty component visually (it'll usually be black), desolder it and solder a new one. It's just that they're so small that it's really hard.

Many manufacturers (looking at you, Apple) are designing things so they're hard to repair, but it won't be easy to repair electronics, no matter how much you plan for it. The best compromise is to design them so the user has to replace small modules rather than the entire thing.
I'm sorry, but this is such a non-answer. What am I supposed to do with this? Clearly things aren't that simple to achieve negligible latency, otherwise we would have it. I bet there are a lot of trade-offs involved here (there usually are), and simply stating "take latency serious" isn't helpful in having any meaningful conversation about this.
Well they are already both Webkit and that aspect is the problem (yes I know about Blink vs Webkit, but still).
Apple's investment in ARM when it was originally spun out from Acorn a very far-sighted decision in retrospect.

Another curio, for a while Intel made the fastest ARM processors, after they bought StrongARM from DEC...

I'm still using my iPhone SE (2016). I've changed the battery once, and the screen twice (I should probably stop dropping it).

Changing the screen takes ~20 minutes, and a new screen costs ~16$.

I will probably upgrade to the iPhone SE2 at some point, but given that my phone works perfectly for what I use it for, paying 550$ for an upgrade just does not make sense.
What is the paradox here? The standard won't force replacements.

Use Classic Start. I get it through Ninite. It's perfect.

Shift-delete removes the recycle bin portion. If you access the recycle bin as infrequently as most people (read: only when the drive complains about space), you won't really be concerned about an extra confirmation.

Smart locations are pretty frustrating but I don't remember the last time they weren't just folders under the user directory, similar to MacOS and Linux. My Documents is a legacy shim, Simba. You must never go there.

I think the UI conventions thing is a matter of personal preference. I really like applications that use a UI convention that suits the application. PowerPoint and Google Chrome are different apps for different purposes, so they should have different UIs.

The Settings app/Control Panel is unforgivably broken. That said, if you search for what you want in the start menu, it's usually pretty good at finding it. But yeah, the ODBC driver connection dialog from 3.1 is still in there somewhere.
I think he took the right lesson in that case. I at least did it for the rewards. I for one don't do tedious and mind-numbing tasks, that involve serious involvement over time, just to turn my brain off. I might do the dishes, but that is very time constrained, and not something I repeatedly come back to doing unless I have to.

On the contrary, games usually inspire work by precisely _being challenging_. That's what normally keeps people coming back to play them for their own sake (the autotelicity of games).
That "neumorphic" music player they show as an example is absolutely horrendous.
Nothings appears to happen when I enter something and press Search, just a redirect to same page.
"I kind liked washing machines that properly heated to 90C"

Modern front-loading washing machines still heat to 90°C. What's changed is that modern washing machines use less water than older models.

This is one of those dilemmas with older appliances: the older appliance is in perfect working condition, but uses much more water per wash (or more electricity). Do you keep the older appliance? Or buy a modern model that will save you water (or electricity)?

I love the concept of your extension. You're right, the 24/7 feeds from social media encourage spam, and the way out of it is to take control of the view with software like yours. Great work!
Maybe the watch analogy isn't the best one. But you are probably aware that the display, battery and storage break down more often than CPU? And that noone is proposing to replace individual bad transistors or pixels, but these parts which are manufactured separately and don't have to be glued together.
I honestly find the Groovy aspect the worst part of Jenkins.
