Sadly in this case the text doesn't add much info but at least it's something. And the video is still right there.
Corollary is that many engineers are unfamiliar with the tasks that end users are actually going to use the software for. This phenomenon is definitely more widespread that people in this thread seem to realise, afaics because many are power users used to power interfaces. Power interfaces are generally not enormously useful for the majority of users (preemptive /s: yes, please tell me anecdotes about how pet power interface is superior).

Yes, there is flawed design: that covers most design, in the same way there is flawed programming, which covers most programming, and flawed approaches to business which covers most business, and so on.

[edit] the feeling I get from the threads here is that many commenters don't get that most design involves huge tradeoffs, same as programming. Design training is not "make a pretty thing" (which is what many commenters seem to be dismissively suggesting, which is actively offensive), Dribbble is really not reflective of actual design, and much of what you see is surface driven by designers having to find tradeoffs to deal with management edicts/commercial goals/technical limitations that may conflict with otherwise good design

You mean, you'll have to replace the cables. Not the devices themselves, unless you want to be able to use USB-C-to-C cables everywhere.

I didn't know that one back then but there was another one, where you could remove a file(or rename it) from C:/Windows(I don't remember which one it was, but 10 year old me definitely knew, but somehow I think it was C:/Windows/passwd) from DOS. Then you type in any password and it let you in and then you just swap the file with the old one once you are done. Sigh the number of times my classmates asked me to use it on our math teacher's computer in order to copy the tests...

Probably also worth nothing that our political view point(s) may, to a certain extent, be biologically determined:

> Studies have found that subjects with conservative political views have larger amygdalae and are more prone to feeling disgust. Liberals have larger volume of grey matter in the anterior cingulate cortex and are better at detecting errors in recurring patterns. Conservatives have a stronger sympathetic nervous system response to threatening images and are more likely to interpret ambiguous facial expressions as threatening. In general, conservatives are more likely to report larger social networks, more happiness and better self-esteem than liberals. Liberals are more likely to report greater emotional distress, relationship dissatisfaction and experiential hardship and are more open to experience and tolerate uncertainty and disorder better.

The common theme here is that media outlets are not good at regulating their own hysteria for the public good, and we're all left as collateral damage. Maybe we can bring back some orderly rules around broadcasting of controversial opinions. The FCC Fairness Doctrine was eliminated in 1987 and there was an attempt to reintroduce it in 2019. Maybe it deserves reconsideration.

Stock prices are tied to valuation which is based on expectations of growth. If you lower you growth goals and therefore projections, then the valuation tanks and the stockholders value drops. Management and employees are motivated by equity in companies like Google and therefore rely heavily on growth potential.
Former US Secretary of labor on why “both Sides” does not work
For me these are Leviathan- Hobbes and Thomas and The Prince - Machiavelli, Niccolò. Love these books. In college I wrote an essay about The Prince. Luckily I found writing service at https://essayseek.com/ to help me with that task. With their help I got the highest score in the class.
They did hit a sweet spot with the MBP 2015. They did have to replace my screen under a special warranty program for manufacturing defects but it's still a perfectly fine laptop I use all the time. It's a bit on the heavier side for travel and I'm sure its battery life is not what it was--and was never super in the first place.

I'll almost certainly get an Apple Silicon laptop at some point but I'm not in any rush especially at a time when I'm not traveling.
Just to follow on from that - I think the thing that irritates is 'cheapness' rather than lack of overt generosity.

To give a couple of examples. The office was kitted out with poor monitors - cheapest Dell sold. Some people bought their own but most people were fine with them - they're just monitors and they're 'fine'. Then a small group were rewarded with 'premium monitors' as a prize for some internal competition - and this did cause annoyance, as it recognized that the company knew it was being cheap.

Second example. "We're getting new chairs!" Supplier dropped off half-a-dozen different models for us to try out and then we collectively chose our favourite.
Except we couldn't have it, as it was too expensive, and we got the "second choice".
Now that second choice was amazing compared to what they were replacing. An office full of premium ergonomic chairs cost the company a small fortune - but decision was tainted with cheapness. We weren't worth the chair we'd chosen. If they'd just pulled the chairs they couldn't afford from the competition, it would have cost the same and made us happy.
This. And I'm guessing there's a reason why Anker hasn't made such a move.
I agree, I find many of his interviews to be boring these days.
These things can be fun to play with, but my experience is most projects don't need them. I would rather spend my time implementing functionality than regenerating and recompiling code from proto files. The large projects you mention often have something most projects don't: a well-defined data model and interface that has been heavily iterated and evolved over time. At that point things like backwards compatibility, auto docs, and performance become more important, and gRPC can be more useful.

You only get a certain number of complexity tokens and IMO it's not worth spending any here.

It uses a platform-native renderer instead of embedding most of Chromium like Electron does, so it's not the same thing. I'd imagine it's better in some ways (executable size) and worse in others (dealing with 4 different renderers).
It's hard to be nice when you feel that the others are exploiting you in some way. Even if you can empathize with their situation, sometimes you cannot sympathize enough to put their well being over your own (mainly in cases where the absolute difference between the relative importance of their needs to your own, in your opinion as per your beliefs, is small).

Well, I'm an antisocial shut-in so maybe this is a fringe opinion to have for our techno-monkey tribes. :))

Also this bypasses the protection offered by Bitlocker (in the typical ‘keys are stored in the TPM’ setup) as it grants access to the system from the login screen without entering a password.

So if you steal a laptop you can get at the drive contents using this trick.
But this article is about bypassing Bitlocker, so that's not relevant. Also, if a system is unencrypted there are a multitude of ways to easily read the contents. That goes for any device or operating system.
If you do anything with photography, you are carrying around a camera, batteries, and lenses anyway. Just buy a 12$ card reader and put it into your camera bag with all your other expensive stuff.

It surprises me that people who buy high-dollar computers are so reluctant to buy an extra cable. TB3 natively supports DP at faster speeds than HDMI 2.0b can push. You can buy a TB3 to DP1.4 cable online for $15. Even the most expensive cable for this purpose sold on Apple's web store costs $50. I suppose you can ask your office manager to buy a couple for the meeting rooms, in order to accommodate Mac users.
I don't miss MagSafe.

I enjoy being able to sit on my kitchen table and plug USB-C cable on the right. And if my favorite chair is used by my cat, I can sit on the other side and plug the cable on the left. On the other side of the cable is a third-party charger that I'm using to charge my iPhone (with damn Lightning-USBC cable, when will Apple drop Lightning?), iPad and Nintendo Switch. And when I sit on my desktop, I connect my laptop to the monitor with just one (USB-C) cable.

Previously, I had to have two separate proprietary chargers and hope that the cable don't break; now I can just buy another USB-C cable anywhere.

Do you know that clicking the TouchID button will lock your screen?
I have a lot of sympathy with your position and conclusion. Really I was trying to explain the position applied, it's not what I would do. Ultimately, legislatures (or those who control them) want to encourage developments that lead to faster, cheaper (less energy intensive) methods of encryption and encoding and so the law will be wiggled until it fits this need. Hence in Europe we effectively have, AIUI, a variation of the long-standing "technical effect" requirement where if the development can be concretised it can be patented.

Things are slightly tighter in UK law and much looser in USA; I don't follow patent law in other countries.
I almost never ended up using that remote, quite honestly. I got a lot more use out of the remote/stylus that my smartphone came with which I could use to play/pause media, take pictures from a distance, and obviously write or draw.

What IS fascinating and will be very telling is to closely watch Tether issue from ‘Treasury’. Seems they have stopped as they KNOW what is in the millions of pages they delivered to AG and from now on need to be much more careful. If Tether issuance decreases, crypto prices should fall. Must also watch Tether volume per day.

Two scenarios:

1. Tether decides to go legit: mild short term crypto price fall. Tether actually has an independent audit as much promised. Audit reveals not good, but not catastrophic.

2. Tether execs have decided to delay / obfuscate and exit when forced: continued fraudulent Tether issue and price bubble accelerates.

Something is already up: BTC price rocketed every holiday and long weekend recently. This one it is falling = no support from Tether printing?

The readers are invested in the establishment so they'll never offer more than the odd tish-tosh and go back to their lives. Take for example, established media discussions of climate change or Apple labor practices -the dear readers offer a witty condemnation in a comment but don't actually change their habits.

After years of fighting with the broken butterfly keyboard, the missing ESC key (Vim!) and Apple’s recent ambitions in censorship, I finally made the move, after 15 years with Macbooks, to switch to a free and more transparent platform, as in “a system that respects the user’s freedom”. Yes, moving to System76 and their Pop! OS will come with efforts of re-abituation but I appreciate the freedom that comes with it.
Equity is actually the most expensive form of capital (measured by an investor's required return on capital). If a startup could raise debt financing, that would no doubt be preferable. However that's quasi-impossible with no revenue. I do agree with the other parts of this answer though.

Ask HN: How to Find a Mentor
Hey everyone

I've heard countless times through posts or videos about advice for programmers. One of the most frequent advice is to find a mentor, preferrably someone you look up to that can help you in getting better at your skills by evaluating your work and giving you advice based on his/hers experience throughout your career.

I'm from a small town with not that many people who I'm able to relate to and it seems that the internet is a good solution for my problem

My question is how do I develop such a relationship with a person through the internet without being pedantic or straight up rude?

Would love to hear your advice and experience

Thanks
I think it was more of an argument against there being any correlation at all, which I think is a reasonable one

I tried Tencent's app on Android a long time ago when they were offering 1TB of free cloud storage. It started uploading all my photos (and who knows what else) as soon as I allowed file access.

I immediately deleted it, who the hell does that? Even Google Drive asks for permission first. I guess that's what you trade for 1TB haha.

All of these opinions (from this comment thread) perfectly sum up my view of the Touch Bar.

It's one of the reasons, aside from performance, that I believe that the M1 MacBook Air is currently the best laptop that Apple make.

> I am all for removing the TouchBar. The new MacBook Air with TouchID + physical function keys is a perfect combination of features. There are a few things about the TouchBar I do like -- eg, having a custom one-touch screen lock button that's always present. However vast majority of the time I use external keyboard+trackpad+monitor, so the touchbar can't be part of my usual workflow anyway. (BluSyn)

> while I believed in the initial promise of the touchbar (especially for specialty apps like DAWs, NLEs, etc), I welcome its removal now, and I think most do. (coldtea)

> I also can't wait for the removal of the Touchbar. This prevented me from buying previous Macbooks because it was just one compromise too far for such an expensive machine. (pharmakom)

> I like the touch bar but unless they find a way to make it feasible on a Bluetooth magic keyboard, I’d rather have no touch bar for consistency. If they are going to kill it they should have killed it with the first M1 MacBooks. (johnwalkr)

> The problem with the TouchBar is that it disrupt the flow of attention towards the keys. The cool thing about having just ONE screen is that you can forget about looking your fingers because the content is fixed (not dynamic) and therefore can be internalized. The TB doesn't solve any problem (ofou)

> the Touchbar should have been a new UI paradigm at the bottom of a touchscreen. I'd also dig a Touchbar accessory for my keyboard tray. Just saying. But for the love of god, keep it off my F-key row. (acjohnson55)

> No Touchbar. I love the idea, but it should be in addition to the Fn keys, on top of it, or in some other way. (maz1b)

> If they so wish their touchbars, why not to put them _above_ function keys ?! Make option to turn them off completely if required so they would not disturb at night or stand on the way. They never heard of people with muscle memory? (lovelyviking)
> everything that can be talked about by humans, in principle, should be considered
> at the reach of symbolic approaches

This doesn’t seem obvious to me — do you have any references that support this idea?
>* Stories get passed on and some are surprisingly stable.

That's reasonable. While certainly far from proven, the Black Sea Deluge Hypothesis[0] posits the possibility that the "Great Flood" story, which is part of many ancient traditions (and long predates Abrahamic[1] religions) may be from an oral tradition recounting a flood occurring at the end of the last glaciation in Eastern Europe and Western Asia.

While that story certainly isn't anywhere near 100,000 years old, if true, it does add credence to the stability of oral traditions over long periods of time.

This depends a lot on the operating system and on how it is configured.

On my Gentoo Linux, there are absolutely no writes during booting.

On the other hand, for my job, I have installed Windows 10 Enterprise on several kinds of embedded computers.

Some of those computers used some ancient model of Transcend SATA SSDs, which had an extremely low writing speed, of only around 40 Mbyte/s, much like a memory card (and not like a good one).

After the default installation of Windows 10, the booting was unbelievably slow, it could take maybe a half hour or so. When Windows 10 decided that it must install updates, it was much worse. The computer became available after booting only after a few hours.

I had to waste a few days with the unhelpful Windows Knowledge Base and with some more helpful Internet forums, until I discovered how to shut down all the Windows services that wanted to write to the SSD during booting, so that eventually the booting time of Windows reached an acceptable value of less than a minute.

On the same hardware Linux booted almost instantly, because the SSD reading speed was decent, unlike its writing speed.

There are Linux distributions that I do not use, e.g. Ubuntu, and I would not be surprised if those also come with default configurations that attempt to write during booting, e.g. for updating file indexing databases, or other such crap.

> But I need an SD card reader all the time

Ok, but I never need one for my profession so I don't want the port. Which one of us gets it the way we want it? We both can't have it our way. They went for people who want to use it are the ones to use a dongle, which seems fair to me - the person who wants it pays for it.
For most people, the majority of positive reviews are noise on any product and they evaluate them by reading negative reviews.

For once, let's turn it all upside down:

We should build a collection about how things break - review broken and worn-out products to teach how to identify cheap products (where are the stress points, what manufacturing techniques exist to alleviate those). Then compare those with used products well past their warranty period that hasn't broken, and look at why they haven't.

PS: I'm the creator of the community-driven Buy For Life platform. Let's overcome cheap products and keep corportaions accountable.
The bigger problem with the podcast isn't his credentials or AI knowledge, it's how dry his delivery and presence are and how he basically reads off a prepared list of questions instead of having a conversation with his guests. And also the insistance to ask questions about life being a simulation and the meaning of life. He is a really poor interviewer but he has had a great selection of guests on the podcast.

The distances are very similar but Pleione is much dimmer than either Maia or Taygeta.

Apparent magnitudes:

Pleione 4.77 - 5.50

Taygeta 4.30

Maia 3.87

(Apparent magnitude is a measure of the brightness of a star or other astronomical object observed from Earth, it's inverse logarithmic so smaller number is brighter)
