Hey that's a good tip, I didn't know about fullscreen status being a signal for busy detection. This is a useful tip for me personally that I'll start using, thanks!

That doesn't quite resolve what I'm talking about. Keeping apps full screen isn't realistic for me, since I'm app switching all the time and often need multiple apps side-by-side, especially when coding. And again, my main goal commenting was just to challenge the very idea that chat status should be minute-to-minute accurate. I don't want that idea to spread, I want people to expect to wait for a response, I want chat to be default asynchronous, and for people to just be happy when they occasionally don't have to wait.

By and large this just isn't a big problem for me, it's a totally minor issue, but would be nice if we collectively have the same expectations. At my work, people mostly do use chat asyncronously and don't start chats with just "hi" waiting for a response. I'm personally relatively happy with my work interactions, but I'd prefer if attitudes didn't shift in the direction the article is advocating.
All of them have one thing in common: they want to be seen as "new tech" companies, not dying older companies.

Microsoft wants to be seen up against apple, google
Oracle wants to be seen up against AWS
Walmart wants to be seen up against amazon e-commerce

From a shareholder management of company funds perspective, I think it's a stupid decision, but as executives within these companies looking to make a name for themselves, people advocate for stupid flashy acquisitions and imagine seamless synergies with ecommerce and advertising existing product lines.

In most cases, according to studies, large acquisitions seem to harm the company long-term.

Let's not forget horizontal scrollbars that cover the last line of a code you want to copy....
> for what, a "clean" look?

It's to stop the offset shift. Pages with scrollbars and pages without have different document widths but the same viewport width.

When you click between the two, the page "shifts" half a scrollbar width if it's centered.

To fix this, Apple made the scrollbar an overlay. That stops the shifting. But then everything on any page with a scrollbar looks off-center.

To fix that, Apple made it disappear when it's not being used.

Well, it doesn't help that they don't have control over external factors. Like the Fed reducing interest rates to 0, and buying corporate bonds. Very hard to predict something when there's no free market where things just play out with no external influence.

"... The earth belongs always to the living generation. They may manage it then, and what proceeds from it, as they please, during their usufruct. They are masters too of their own persons, and consequently may govern them as they please. But persons and property make the sum of the objects of government. The constitution and the laws of their predecessors extinguished then in their natural course with those who gave them being. ..." - Thomas Jefferson

https://jeffersonpapers.princeton.edu/selected-documents/tho...

Jefferson was in favor of living people controlling government, rather than trying to divine what dead people would have wanted. The living document approach to understanding the constitution is a way to keep the text of the constitution static while still allowing for each generation to interpret it as they see fit. It's a pretty good compromise.

Also: words always mean whatever we choose them to mean. As my favorite law professor would always remind us, words don't leap off the page and become reality by magic. People read the words, and people take actions. So what you're disparaging as "reinterpreting" I'd argue is just "interpreting," and is a necessary component of all written language.
As great as its image, in my view Whole Foods just isn't that great of a grocery store.

They are regularly out of things just beyond the norm, like polenta.

Seems less like a grocery store for normal people and more of a spot for yuppies to buy $8 kombucha or whatever. Blows my mind.

Yes, they’re more accurate than random noise. Unfortunately like with any science which seems impactful on people’s lives, there is a lot of drama around people who try to become famous by making predictions and then failing. But the science itself is on firm ground.

how about using the actual definition of facsism instead of your version, which is wrong and biased?

from Merriam Webster dictionary:

Definition of fascism

1 often capitalized : a political philosophy, movement, or regime (such as that of the Fascisti) that exalts nation and often race above the individual and that stands for a centralized autocratic government headed by a dictatorial leader, severe economic and social regimentation, and forcible suppression of opposition

2 : a tendency toward or actual exercise of strong autocratic or dictatorial control

I've been back on my windows machine recently for a new side project and, ironically, I've really enjoyed this feature.

It's akin to shaking my head before focusing on a specific task. I shake the task window and the other applications that I still want open but won't be using for a bit all hide away.
This is very cool.

The price point was a shock.

I think committing to a year-long subscription is a tough sell. Not because the product isn't great, but because I've tried apps before and then abandoned them because they didn't become a habit. Maybe it lasted a month, maybe two, but they never became part of my routine.

So committing to paying for a year up front is a tough sell.

The other question is why it is a subscription. Not why _you_ want it to be a subscription, but why the product needs to be. You mention in another comment that "all content is stored 100% on-device". So it's not that I'm paying for cloud storage (which I already have, and I don't have multiple iPads so it would be more of a peace of mind thing anyway.)

I understand that it funds your continued development, but it's hard for me to see what that means. Is there a product roadmap so I can say, "Yeah, actually, I want to pay for those new features."

Here's how I would pay:

1. One-time cost for software that would get updates until the next major version.

2. Monthly subscription for software if there is a product roadmap. I want to see what I'm buying.

3. Yearly subscription with a discount to (2). The commitment is worth something to you. It would have to be worth it to me too.

Rough guesses:

1. $50

2. $10/mo

3. $100/yr
I don't think it's that bad. It's not entirely open source, no, it's proprietary software on top of open source. The same is true of Android phones running Google Services. I'll note the EULA for the hardware doesn't seem to indicate you can't run other operating systems on it, but I am not a lawyer so YMMV. They've separated the EULAs for the hardware sales from the EULA for the software you can download. Makes sense to me, and is actually more liberal and easier to read than other EULA's I've read. Could it be more open? Of course, especially to allow the use of the product brand name with other third-party software, to open the device up more, and support more open uses. To me the real question will be if business and enterprise customers end up demanding code signing restrictions to the point where it becomes a cloud-managed device with a closed boot loader, like Chromebooks or iOS. Hopefully like Chromebooks, or Android, they'll still preserve a mode where you can turn off those features if you want to run third-party software and have the authority to do so. But they're not a charity, it's not completely open hardware, they're trying to build a business, at scale, and openness is one of their strategies, just not their only one.
They're pointing out the obvious. Do you think tons of people are going to start dining out again? Going to gyms? Going to the movies? Large parts of the economy will be soft for years. Much of it will never come back due to semi-permanent shifts in behavior.
Oh nice, very glad to be wrong! I'll have to do some closer reading.
Stock market =/= economy. I think a big part of the gains is that everyone is flush with cash with nowhere to invest since the interest rates are basically non-existant/negative.
I agree with you. Don't understand why people are downvoting your observation though.
Stocks are being buoyed by interventions from the Fed. There's a decoupling of the stock market and the economy. Those of us in Tech don't feel the pain much, but in the wider economy layoffs and pain are beginning to spread. Companies that took PPP money had to agree not to lay off people until the fall. Those stipulations end soon and there are large employers (airlines, banks, etc.) that have already announced that they'll have large layoffs in the next month or two. Add in small businesses that are going under (restaurants being hit hard, for example).

It would be great if there was a single page listing comparison of both workflows against specific technical points like these.

The subscription model for apps is a hard sell. Remember all the backlash Jetbrains got?

Personally, I'm on the same page. I will pay for a service, but for an app, it has to be one I'm dependent on for in my work, not a personal note taking app that I may not use very often. Make me pay monthly for storage or subscription tier. Not just to use the app.

This looks intriguing, but IMO, GoodNotes at $8 single purchase is good enough for me and is an infinitely better value. I normally trial new apps, but this one is just way too expensive.

It doesn't. However for the last nine or more years (since work on Echo began), transcription has been far and away the #1 way Amazon processes speech - not "emotion markers" or whatever else you are dreaming up. I don't see "emotion markers" mentioned or described, and "it sounds like they are doing something else" is not really a strong argument if you're trying to guarantee that they aren't transcribing it.

Agreed, but for change over time it's just as accurate as skin calipers... which don't require an investment or subscription service.

Not really. Zoning specifies density limits but demand depends of far more factors. If you replace a mansion with a low density housing project, the reason the price will go down is not due to an increase in supply.

What are your expectations and applications for color in an e-ink writable tablet? The best available color e-ink displays support a spot color palette of 3-7 colors. They're nowhere near being able to show a full-color image. If you want something for illustration, a Cintiq is the best option and you get to use software (like Illustrator) that's up to the task. Even the Cintiq Pro displays are only able to hit about 15 ms response time.

> "I'd argue the smoothstep version looks better" Why would this be? I would have thought the theoretically correct sinc version would look nicer.

For a fixed well-defined mathematical problem, you might be able to solve it optimally or approximately. One perspective is to treat the problem as given and immutable and then try to compute an exact or optimal solution.

But often the original problem statement is fairly arbitrary, based on a bunch of guesses or simplifications, and you might be able to get a better result by changing the problem definition (perhaps unfortunately making it much messier to solve exactly) and then solving the new problem statement approximately.

What's the actual problem we're trying to solve here? Generate something that looks visually pleasing. Why is an expression involving cosine the natural way to define that problem statement mathematically? There's likely a lot of freedom to here to vary our problem definition.

It might be interesting to start with the smoothstep multiplied result and take the derivative and look at how that differs from a normal cosine, and ponder why that might produce a more pleasing result than a cosine.

I'm not a "real quantum physicist" but I've been studying QM as a hobby for thirty years. Your intuitions are not far from the mark. What you call "becoming intertwined" is a real physical phenomenon called entanglement. The problem with your definition is that there is no "point" at which entanglement "happens". The creation of entanglement(s) is a continuous process, not a discrete one, so the transition from "unmeasured" to "measured" on this view is also continuous. This process in the aggregate is called "decoherence" and it can be described very precisely, and it correctly predicts all of our observations, including the fact that all macroscopic observers will agree that either the cat is alive, or that the cat is dead.

The problem is that nowhere does the math say that the cat actually is alive or dead. Again, mathematically this is a consequence of the fact that the Schroedinger equation is linear, so if you start with a superposition of states, that can only evolve into another superposition of states. The math says unambiguously that the cat and all of its observers are in superpositions. In order to extract a single privileged objective classical reality you have to add some additional mathematical constraint, and no one has been able to figure out a way to do that that isn't either ad hoc or at odds with the data.

And it gets even worse than that because of the Bell inequalities, but that's a whole 'nuther kettle o' worms.
