Everyone uses Excel because it's a tool everybody learned at University or even highschool, nothing more, it's not because it's good at all.

It's a terrible app but Microsoft managed to shove it everywhere in education. Same for Words.

Unfortunately Libre Office and co tried to reproduce the terrible UX of both software, while coming up with inferior functionalities because they had to try to maximise compatibility with these MS tools, time not spent on providing actual useful stuff.

Access is a bit better and I wish more non programmers learned basic SQL instead of Excel.

I can't make a McChicken sandwich for $1.39 so in some ways we're already there.

>Avoid ..., insanelymac,

Where did the tools mentioned in those guides come from then? Hackintosh scene became what it is due to countless hours poured into development by developers from insanelymac, olarila & couple of other Russian sites; almost every other major hackintosh site started as guides using the information from the aforementioned sites.

In fact the development discussion of OpenCore, happens at insanelymac[1].

In fairness I picked it as a great "carry-around camera" with a phone attached and it looks like it might work well in that regard, photo quality is very good from first impressions.

Otherwise I do find myself somewhat underwhelmed, first Android "upgrade" I've ever had that's not head and shoulders better than the handset it's replaced.

We might see what happens over the coming years. I think there's probably going to be a mass exodus from Twitter and social media generally, unless the platforms change at a very fundamental level.

But currently they're so profoundly unhealthy for both individuals and society at large that they'll end up with the same kind of fate as cigarettes.
The Chrome Web Store is grossly understaffed. Google as a whole relies too much on automated processes rather than humans, but this is particularly a problem in the Chrome Web Store, because Google requires every extension to be distributed via the Store, but they just don't have the staff to review every extension properly. There's no way Google can "curate" the volume they handle, especially with their limited staffing.

I'm on board with your logic, but disagree with your conclusion.

The Anglo-American legal tradition has two notions of causation: "but-for" and "proximate". The latter asks whether a consequence was foreseeable, and in practice amounts to a judgement about moral culpability for the consequence.

The establishment of an autocratic state was a foreseeable consequence of CIA intervention, and it doesn't seem fair to fault Iranians for failing to subdue their autocrats in a single generation. Such things take time.
I've heard that was the case for some of the older devices, but they're really gotten better at it. I'm currently using an OG iPhone SE (a 4 year old phone) and I'm running iOS 14 beta and it runs great.

The performance of my personal Pixel 2 on the other hand has not held up nearly as well by comparison and my next personal phone will likely be an iPhone even though I'm not a great fan of Apple.

There's a ton of great advice on Tonymacx86 and InsanelyMac if you keep your tongue straight in the mouth, but also a ton of mediocre and even bad advice (like using their "helpful software"). Not to mention the petty conflict between the two sites.

In general you're much better off following advice from the Github guides, /r/hackintosh and Discord channels.
Frustratingly, this kind of dismissal perpetuates injustices.

First, let's be clear:

> Doctors know that these pulse ox meters aren't very accurate and use them accordingly

Some doctors know...

> Nobody's changing their plan because you have a pulse ox of 93 instead of 95. They're there to quickly measure big changes that indicate a problem.

Sometimes, perhaps even often, they're used for this. It's one use case of pulse oximetry, and it's an important one.

I read your post as extrapolating general claims from common cases, and erasing the real experiences of people that fall outside of these common cases.

Bias often happens at the margins. That doesn't make it less real for the people who suffer from it, even if most people don't suffer, even if the common cases work well.

It can be hard to see those margins when you aren't in them, but that doesn't mean they don't exist -- they are still worth writing about and trying to fix.
I was thinking that perhaps the autoformat options could be explicitly shown in the column headers

number date currency
A B C

and you could click on the format to change it. Italics could show assumed formats, bold could show user set formats.

I'm newly returned to (very minor) Excel use and assumed formats with no feedback seems wrong. My situation is dates _not_ being picked up as dates and it not being obvious that it hasn't; I'm using ISO format (eg 2020-06-17), I guess you have to create a new date format or use USA-ordering before it will recognise dates.

Show HN: No parties during Corona? GO BEERCRAWL
Hi guys,

in current times, in most of the world clubs are closed, parties and festivals are cancelled. And bars and other places generally discourage any kind of party, if they're even open. I totally get it. But I'm very disappointed at the total lack of (relatively safe) alternatives. We're basically told to stay home and social life has taken a backseat and remains to do so for a very long time to come. Specifically meeting new people IRL in a relaxed and fun setting has more or less disappeared (apart from one to one Tinder meetups maybe?).

BEERCRAWL (gobeercrawl.com) aims to bring back partying and casually meeting new people in a comparably safe way, by meeting in a smaller group, outside (abiding by all laws of course, like masks and social distancing) and have drinks, conversation, a laugh and generally a good time. Like a pubcrawl, the group follows a certain route, visiting several places to refill beverages.

I'm curious to hear your feedback!

I understand that this might be controversial for some. We've seen protests and gatherings of thousands of people. Compared to that, in a beercrawl one will usually talk to only a handful of people face to face. So it is rather insignificant.

Windows code signing does not include a step where Microsoft inspects the code. The developer gets a certificate from a commercial CA and signs the code. If the certificate is an EV certificate, that's basically it. If it's a regular certificate, Windows does a callback to Microsoft that seems to just be a popularity check --- if the certificate has been used a lot, then the prompts go away.

At best, Windows code signing lets you know who signed it and that that person was able to pay a CA some money, not that it's safe to run.
Nothing. And that's not the problem this program is intended to solve.
Planned obsolescence.

I owned an iPhone 5S, my phone terribly slowed down in just a year to the point of becoming unusable. Opening the camera app would take 10 seconds. It would randomly freeze during calls and in the end, started having random shut downs. At the time, I didn't know they were throttling the phone. Funnily enough, my battery was replaced a couple of times and had no impact.

I paid $1000 at the time for it. I wrote it off in a year and a half due to all these issues. The manufacturer DID support with updates, but in the end, it didn't really matter because they just kept introducing more bugs and did nothing to address the throttling until very recently when they were caught in the act.

In contrast, I still own an Android 2.x HTC Desire that works flawlessly as a backup phone till date. I got it 8 years ago and is absolutely stunning - be it the beautiful OLED display or usability, and solves my needs perfectly.

I would say, software support for older phones is overrated. If you thought I am lucky with the HTC, then how about my other Android - Xperia X. I've dropped this thing so many times and not once had the screen gotten a single scratch. Supports dual sim and camera is great for low light. Still fluid to use. Again, software support for long term is really overrated in my opinion.
As long as you can make calls, surf the web, check emails, take photos, I'd say the purpose of the phone is complete.
I never going the obsession with pristine lawns without clover, daisies, moss and such. I actually think it looks quite nice with some variation.

My wife is militant about this, insisting that our lawn is sprayed with horrible chemicals at least once a year to kill off the clover, daisies and moss.

Seems such a pointless thing to do, and very obviously not good for wildlife.
My experience is the exact opposite - but we're probably looking for different things.

That walled garden approach is why, in my opinion, the OS feels as good as it does. MacOS feels like a mature operating system that Apple have created with restraint and control - where to me Windows feels like a piece of legacy enterprise software with a shiny UI.

If I wanted out of a walled garden, there's no way it'd be to a non *nix based OS - especially not to one that uses it's start menu to pump ads at me.

It also raises and interesting question in me for the folks who think of themselves as "product" types. Has anyone measured the effect of platform denigration on improving or diminishing a brand?

I am trying to imagine ways you might A/B test this. Set up two brands with products in the same space with comparable specifications, and have one that is "product focused" in their outbound messaging and one that is "platform hostile" in their messaging. Then compare customer loyalty and margin support in the two brands.

Curious to know if anyone has done this.

Medicine is very rarely about absolutes, it's mostly about how things get better or worse. When I was in the hospital, no one looked at the absolute values of my blood work, they cared to see if it dropped based on the treatment they saw.

I upgraded from a Pixel XL (which itself was a free upgrade after my Nexus 6P ran into the battery shutdown issues) to the 4XL when it came out in November, and while I can't say I _regret_ my purchase, it's just... unremarkable. The camera is fine, but the battery is not any better than my 3yo phone.

I haven't had to downgrade, but I imagine that (like you) I wouldn't miss it :)

You need to train people to handle patients under psychedelics (both mentally and physically), that alone is quite a challenge, who has the knowledge ? I'd bet there is more knowledge on internet forums than in the scientific community right now.
Some people go in really weird mental states under psychedelics, I've witnessed it several times, it's never an easy thing to deal with. I have no problem believing psychedelics can "cure" ptsd/depression, I have also no problem believing it can make them worse for some people depending on their state of mind and the trip settings.

You need to pay supervisors, an lsd trip is something like 6-12+ hours, who's going to pay ? Insurances ? How long will it take them to come up with regulations for that ? Who will have access to supervised psychedelic trips ? Dying people ? Sick people ? people with PTSD ? people with depression ? People who want to give it a try ?

What about the after glow ? Most people will feel really down in the 24-96 hours following a trip, how do you make sure they don't do anything stupid in that period ? Who's accountable if something happens (suicide, etc.) ?

People don't exaggerate when they say psychedelics can have mind shattering effects, I think we're far from wide spread medically supervised psychedelic trips.
Don't they say "turn left heading two four zero" which disambiguates this? Not knowledgeable here, just that sticks in my brain.

Still on original battery... On the latest iOS that Apple is currently supporting the 5S with.

> To the larger point, scientists are not programmers. They got into their programs to do research.

I would say most research, to an ever growing degree, is so heavily dependent on software that it's tough to make that claim anymore. It makes no sense to me. It's like saying Zillow doesn't need software engineers because they are in the Real Estate business, not the software business.

> You'd have to migrate everything to Python 3 at once, and then "maintain" two different and incompatible codebases, one generated from the other.

Absolutely not. Well, you could, but the better approach would be to write individual modules in Python 3, and then compile those down to Python 2 at which point they can talk to the existing Python 2 code freely.

> Unless your 3to2 would literally reimplement Python 3 in Python 2

That's exactly what I'm suggesting. Take the existing Python 3 compiler and swap out the backend to generate Python 2 code instead of bytecode.

This is stuff people do every day for other languages. It is very far from rocket science.
