Who said suddenly?

I just said I have to.

For the sake of someone else's safety

Most of the times I have to because the biker (motor or not) approached the turn at a far greater speed then they could handle

Don't build up expectations, if you can't keep them

I guess you never witnessed a bike surpassing you on the right side of a turn, like they were on a race track, just to stop in front of you when they realise there is some kind of blockage or it is a slow turn and it's not the car in front of them that it's trying to slow then down on purpose

Try to keep the distances when they jump in front of you from nowhere...

> This is why I am willing to break the law to be safe.

So you are making someone else unsafe, possibly a woman with a stroller, to keep you safe?

That's not what I call being responsible...
Any Android users have insight into the uptake on Instant Apps [1] over the past three years? I’ll be curious how they and the new App Clips [2] in iOS 14 will evolve versus web apps.

There are known issues with scaled resolutions on macOS and JetBrains IDEs. If that is the case for you, using a tool like resolutionator to scale instead of the native macOS scaler, should solve the performance issues.
` (backtick) is also right above tab. On a US keyboard, this makes Cmd+Tab switch apps and Cmd+` switch windows of an app.

It's probably worth noting that the defaults remain on common Linux (at least KDE, GNOME, and Cinnamon) and Windows desktop shells with Alt instead of Cmd.

On Linux, Windows, and OSX, adding Shift cycles in reverse order.
> My recommendation: try to evaluate your employer on the above.

And better do it in a nuanced way, not the yes/no checkmarks that Stackoverflow Jobs is using for those points. I've worked for companies that were a mess and would get 11/12, as they _technically_ were using source control and tracking bugs etc., just in the most unproductive/useless way.
They didn't increase portability from the Quest 1 though.

All they've done is forced the consumer to pick between portability but a bad user experience or no-portability, $50 cost, and a basically acceptable one.

At least the Quest 1's headstrap was basically passable, this isn't.

I've always wanted something like the space cadet keyboard with a couple of extra modifier keys vs. what's typically available today for typing unusual characters (and the keycaps for making that easy).

I'm curious, if you don't trust iOS at launch or even several months down the line, why bother with it in the first place? Pick up an Android and join the dark side. I'm honestly baffled as to how locked-in Apple users let themselves be, even the tech-savvy ones.
Some say people from Sales are involved as well. "Follow the money" :)
This is interesting because one of the first project scoping lessons I learned was that engineers rarely give accurate time estimates. I would always go back to my boss having tacked on 20-30% of the time and make sure it’s clear that it’s an estimate and could take longer.

Who wants a product that was rushed? If there’s not enough time, cut scope.

As a Project/product/eng manager, it’s my job to buy time, hit the dates I set, and make my boss more $$$. If I’m saying stuff like “a month is too long; you have until Friday,” I screwed something up or got screwed by someone else. Regardless, the engineers should leave because it’ll keep happening.

The title doesn't suggest anything, it just states an objective fact.
I get frustrated when it seems like no one is maintaining requirements (or aware of them) and I'm just expected to make something work, as though I can read minds about what's expected.

I have no problem with developing solutions on my own with the right accommodations and compensation - but stop handing me sprints based on things where the greatest extent of planning is a single sentence fragment of a Jira issue title.
I agree, and I find the buddhist method very useful.

But it seems that ambitious people usually have strong attachment to the ego and that what drives them.

And that's useful in a highly competitive society, where apartments are expensive, for example.

And once you out that into a larger perspective, some of that drive gets lost.
That's my motto as well

I've been trying for years to work with the municipality of Rome to convince people to let their vehicles at home, if they don't want to fully commit with the driving (or biking)

I don't even listen to music anymore when I drive...
For some context, this project was basically made to one up someone else, so it's not fully serious. Part of what makes the keyboard funny though is that (a niche of) the custom mechanical keyboard scene has been moving to many fewer keys and programming the firmware to compensate. So it's pretty funny going from seeing several Planck ~49 key layouts to seeing this gargantuan 450 key absolute unit.

Web notifications are one of the worst things to happen to the modern web. Ever look at your grandma's Samsung phone? She's probably got 5 spam ads saying you won a contest or to claim some offer. Most users are conditioned to just accept whatever popups are shoved in their faces, ESPECIALLY since the EU laws a few years ago that forced every website to tell about their cookies policy. And hell, I've accidentally accepted push notifications from sites throwing a popup in front of me while I was trying to click something else or scroll.

Apple was completely right to not allow web push notifications on iOS. They're 99% abuse. I don't even like them on desktop either.
I’d need to see evidence of this, there’s a lot of propaganda about climate change causing things “on both sides” so I would like to see a reference to this effect before I believe it!
I've a parent that died just before COVID started and I'm not allowed to go there (travel ban).

While I disagree with the risk of COVID, I would agree that if the risk was so great I should make a choice between minimum safety and my convenience of being able to mourn properly. Having a person that died or whatever shouldn't suddenly mean I'm the victim of the day and everyone else should bend over to make my day better. If anything, that wouldn't even scale.

That said it's moot because I personally have neither option heh.
Panic has an iOS code editor -- right now it's built off Coda, Nova's predecessor, but I'm sure if there's market demand for it, an iOS version will be coming.

Having said that, a lot of software developers -- including Panic -- have not had great experiences trying to sell development tools on iOS. It feels like there should be a big enough market for this, but it's unclear there's actually much of one. If Apple brought Xcode to iPadOS it would likely require changes to the OS to support that kind of development toolchain, and that would make it easier for other companies to bring their tools, both commercial and free. But I half-suspect the official Apple answer to "when are you gonna let us develop on iPadOS" will be "may we interest you in this Apple Silicon-based, touch screen MacBook that natively runs iPad apps."

> 1) I don't want to see the prompts to allow push notifications from a webapp...

You wouldn't have to get them unless you proactively installed the PWA to your home screen.

> 2) Generally I'd rather none of the software I use be webtech, so anything that makes it easier to deliver webtech to my phone/tablet is a step the wrong direction...so no-one can bug me about it or cajole me into using it.

That's your only reason? Because people ask you to use web apps? Perhaps that's because you want the wrong thing for some reason. You haven't explained what that reason is very well at all.

> In short, my UX on iOS is better without them even being possible...

You have never experienced this, so how could you possibly know? Also, no it wouldn't.

> so why would I prefer they be allowed?

Because you haven't listed any good reasons why you're right, which usually means that you're wrong.
For this kind of content site, I'd convert the Django site to a static site with django-bakery [1] and stick it on Netlify.

I suppose there would be a bunch of rewriting to do searching (lunr.js maybe) and filtering client side.

Buuuuuut, at this point, just turning on caching would be easier.

Having ditched macOS because of the sshow that is Catalina I promise you you’ll waste a lot more than half a day on that cluster.
If LCD is a downgrade from OLED then why did Valve Index at 3x the price choose LCD? The fact is it's simply better overall. The resolution, brightness, screen door reduction, full subpixel array, and uniformity matter more than the contrast. Really contrasty scenes are problematic anyway because of the fresnel lenses and OLED black smearing. 1 vs 2 screens is only a downgrade for IPD adjustment, which I agree is the one area that got significantly worse on Quest 2.
Unbelievable that they stuck with that design for this long. It was even worse before unknown caller filtering was introduced: I would literally be DDoS'd from my phone multiple times a day from random numbers, iirc with no option to decline if your phone was already unlocked (i.e. using it when it a call came through)!!!
I've had a similar experience and it made me a better person. I wouldn't trade that experience for anything. Thanks for sharing.
There is such a thing as minimum wage. Flipping burgers, serving coffee or using a wipe all cost the same minimum wage. And that adds up fast...
Is there any mechanism to rollback to older versions if newer ones break ?

> Why are there >3 rows of Fn keys ? Are they all different? Or Are they placed so to quickly access ?

It looks like the creator just used whatever random keycaps he had. There are also duplicate arrow keys and duplicates from the navigation cluster (e.g. pgdown). The katakana(?) keys also look like they might be incomplete.
> "Everything is fine. This is all normal."

Thanks. I knew it was a repetitive moral panic.

Definitely every few years in western media we get a cycle of hysteria. Over the world I'd say yearly about the "birds falling dead from the sky" as we are all smitten :)

You can spell it out, but it's all repeated.
It wasn't a big deal because manual switching is almost instantaneous, unlike other headphones on other platforms.
> where they waste phone scammers' time in an entertaining way.

This can also be automated, so the defender doesn't even need to waste their own time on it. Eg: https://old.reddit.com/r/itslenny/ .
My pet peeve was managers that didn’t ask for an estimation and said to be done in Feb 2021 and then forced you to work late/do overtime while they went home at 5pm every day. Long ago I decided if the (project) manager can’t be arsed to be around, to answer questions, arrange dinner, why should I work late? If it’s not that important for the manager stay late too, even to give moral support.
I was fortunate enough to be able to attend boarding school starting from age 13, and getting out of my parents' home early was a huge benefit in every possible way. I wish more young people had the same opportunity.

My parents are good people, there was nothing wrong with my home environment. But it's more important that youth learn to act like independent adults and take responsibility for their own lives. Staying at home too long causes learned helplessness. When there's no one around to help it's sink or swim.
> And lose the 10% weight savings, and portability in a portable VR console.

What? It's still quite portable with an alternative strap. Somewhat bulkier for sure, but still easily small enough to put in a backpack.
The last time that I checked, Instant Apps have not been enabled by default on the vast majority of devices.

It's impossible to develop around a feature that must be specifically enabled by digging through settings menus by individual users. As a product owner, there's little way to justify it. As a user, I've run across them less than 10 times in the wild, but they've been delightful and consistently good experiences.
It's a shame that Autodesk is cutting back on features for free personal use, especially the removal of STEP export (an open interchange format) and multi-axis CAM (used to convert 3D models into instructions for milling machines & lathes).

But - $495 for a CAD program as fully featured as Fusion 360 is a steal compared to $$$$ Solidworks & competitors. Plus it's cross platform which you don't typically find in the world of CAD.

Is FreeCAD a viable alternative? Not even close.

Should there be a usable FOSS CAD program? hell yes!

Unfortunately the FOSS foundations required to build a real CAD program haven't materialized in cohesive way. There are so many pieces, with many requiring teams of PhDs to produce: CAD kernels, constraint solvers, file format interop, sketching tools, assembly support (mating), simulation, etc... There are some advanced projects out there like the OPENCASCADE kernel, but Parasolid is more reliable and has real support through Siemens.
Jonathan Pollard was not suborned by the Mossad, he literally decided on his own that he wants to spy for Israel and offered intelligence to a random army officer he met. Everyone spies on everyone, I don't think there's a single foreign office employee in Germany that was surprised say, that the US tapped Angela Merkel's phone, among other world leaders. The US spies on all its allies as well as enemies, it's basically table-stakes in international relations.
Mark Boyett is one of Audible's in-house regulars. I've bought many an audiobook simply because he was performing it.

In terms of "celebrity" narrators (other than those named Wil Whedon)... I enjoy James Marsters (Spike from "Buffy the Vampire Slayer")'s work on the Dresden Files series. I would listen to pretty much any book those two performed.
The market is huge. There are quite a few programmers, and they are more willing than most to spend money on software. Graphic design is probably bigger, but other than that? I know accountants and lawyers that are fine with Google Docs and Sheets these days.

As another datapoint, I seem to remember IntelliJ doing >100 Million € in revenue p.a.
Yes! The build just produces a single executable. For example, in a Mac app this would be the file inside Contents/MacOS.

You then need to create a folder with an .app extension, set up a simple folder structure, and add some necessities such as the Info.plist file and your resources like the app icon/images. And codesign or notarize depending on your deployment requirements.

Code completion works great for dev and I've found VSCode to be snappier than Xcode even if the underlying engine (SourceKit) is supposed to be the same. The only thing "missing" is not having Interface Builder, but probably most serious projects use code-generated UIs anyway. You could, of course, still make an .xib file in Xcode and use it in your VSCode project. (I don't have a MainMenu.xib myself.)

See: https://developer.apple.com/library/archive/documentation/Co...
Not that it's a bad thing but it looks like the extension API and architecture has lifted a fair amount from VS Code.

I kind of wish they went all in on LSP and made their extension API via additional JSON RPC methods on top of the base protocol. Because that's what extension authors are using to share code between an extension/editor, LSP is the only thing somewhat consistent and the client surface area is tiny.
I'm no expert on the history of audiobooks, but I get the impression they used to be really really expensive? Like double or even treble a hardback.

Amazon seems to have gained its dominance by making them cheaper to the point where people can really afford them as an alternative to hard/paperbacks.

For all the hatred of amazon in this thread, I suspect the audiobook market would be a fraction of what it is now without them or someone who looks exactly like them.
Isn't that the basis of analog computing? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Analog_computer
Oxygen concentrators are allowed, but they have to be FAA approved, you have to have a prescription, and they have to be battery powered (you can't plug them into the seat power).
Reading https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24497839, there’s a keycap gap. “They” have more keys than “us”, so we must get even more, even though we already have more than we will ever need.
Can you name some? I would gladly leave my HoL city for a cheaper one with great job opportunities in technology (not necessarily at a tech company) and cheap housing. The only city that seems to have all those things is Minneapolis. Even Atlanta is fairly expensive at this point.
Does it not? I thought that was the fix for when you didn't have enough space for an OTA update. Has this changed in more recent iOS versions?
Hm this article describes a bureaucratic management nightmare BUT, the opposite is also bad.

Parkinson’s Principle is real.

If you give yourself a long time to complete a project, it will take that long. Also many projects are a total waste of time. It’s often a good strategy to get the smallest possible experiment (to test your hypothesis) in front of customers ASAP and get the feedback loop rolling before you sink months into something untested.
This is how I feel as well, and I can't tell if the author has only ever worked in really bad companies, or doesn't have the maturity to understand his work relationships or how a business runs. The anecdotes in the article also feel cliche, they feel like something pulled out of generic articles about "bad bosses". Are there actually many engineering managers like this in tech companies in the modern day? Have I just been lucky in the past 15 years in my career?

It's probably a factor but to be the only factor you'd have to believe that right around the time Palo Alto was constructing itself a literal 'wrong side of the tracks' minorities ghetto, it also put together an exclusionary 'public' park but that exclusionary intent was really just aimed at other affluent white people.

It doesn't matter how it was created, it's still poison. Practicing Buddhists don't "make a big deal" of the ego out of some neurotic compulsion taken too far: the ego is seen clearly as an essential link in the chain of suffering and is dropped, breaking the chain.

It's perfectly possible to do that while living at home.I was more independent at 13 than many 20-somethings I met years later living in a shared flat.

Does anyone seriously want to develop on the iPad?
That's why I'm surprised they bother with the bathrooom sink. Everyone will use the code editor. Not everyone will use terminal/git. Make the editor first.
I wouldnt be surprised if it gets banned. In case of cabin decompression the full face masks can be quite hard to remove and you may actually die.

Now, that's very unlikely to happen, but apparently that's more likely than catching COVID or something. (Really, it's just insurance stuff I assume)
I especially enjoy looking at "MagicEye" style autostereogram images for another completely sober psychedelic-like experience.

The way the 3D view comes into perspective, that sensation of maintaining an altered mode engaging with the 3D image, with distractions or a decision to leave that view disengaging. It's very similar to how modal and deliberate interacting with hallucinations on psychedelics can be.
Most tech companies are set up such that managers are not incentivized to play defense for their team. Managers switch teams too often (usually on an annual cycle). Teams get reorganized almost as often. Managers have to please their boss or someone higher up.

The power the engineers have is to exit. In some organizations, the engineers can exit to another part of the organization. In others, they exit the organization entirely. This does actually work in aggregate if you just look at it on a longer timescale.
Mm-hmm, and despite my skepticism, I am also tempted.

What’s your experience with the theming engine? I use Hugo for my static site generator, and I doubt there’s a theme for that particular flavor yet. (I severely doubt my ability to craft a theme, regardless of how easy it is, but I am tempted.)
...and fewer accidents involving cars and pedestrians

Maybe I'm missing it, but also no support for breakpoints or debugging?
>The latency on every keypress is grating.

May I ask what computer are you using? I would say VS Code runs 'buttery smooth' on my macs. Is this a case of me having no idea of what I'm missing?
What are the prospects behind these "help wanted" signs? Jobs for minimum wage, not covering gas for the car or masks, that will put you in the frontline facing other people?

I'm not in favor of my children sitting idle, but if the alternative is for them to go work outside only to bring back £1000 and COVID, well, that's a pure loss, I'd rather they stay home a couple months doing the chores. University should resume soon enough.

It's crazy when I think about it. Masks can be £1-2 a piece nowadays (the good ones). If my daughter is going to work and has to change masks 3+ times a day, it's 1 hour of bullshit job a day just to pay for the masks. It's insane. :O

I think the word "nearly hit" is the key.

I have personally lost count of the times I have seen strollers with babies on heavy trafficked bike roads, and 3-5 years old on training cycles. I have however yet to hear a single accident where a cyclist have hit one of those extremely vulnerable individuals being hit, which if it happened would likely result in the child being killed.
