> Mac screenshots now show a preview by default

Ah, I have to select "preview". Thanks! That is nice to know.

Now, pardon me, as the highlight tool isn't working, everything is a rectangular selection no matter what I do.

Right click, "text and icons". Thank goodness for that[1], because apparently I have to first click what I thought was a stylized 'A' (or a wishbone), then a separate toolbar appears, that, ironically, doesn't have a way to highlight things. Go figure.

It does appear to be far more powerful than the snipping tool.

I'll still complain about the greyscale record button.

[1] With just icons I probably would have, quite literally, never clicked the markup button and just assumed the preview tool couldn't do any annotations. Holy cow that is a bad icon.

Edit: OIC, the markup button only does something when viewing PDFs, but the button pretends it does something (is clickable, changes state) when viewing image files. That is... distinctly not good UX.

> Copyright is not meant to protect your profits. It's meant to encourage creative risk taking.

Copyright encourages creative risk taking precisely by protecting the economic interests (e.g., profits) of those creative risk takers.

> If you're going to take the creative risk anyway, then copyright isn't necessary.

People don't take risks when there's zero possibility of reward. Even people who create mainly for themselves would be demoralized by the idea that even if they were successful, anyone could just take and exploit their work.
TvOS is 90% the same as iOS, and has almost no viable application market besides video streaming apps. Unfortunately that means there are almost no docs or classes on programming it. The occasional WWDC presentation is all there is.

It doesn’t matter.

Have you compared the HRV data from different devices? Have you compared the Apple HRV data and the data from other devices to a reference instrument, or confirmed that it meets some standard?

The Apple Watch is the reference instrument for this paper. It would be a scientific error to conceal that fact.

This isn’t about product endorsements, it’s about saying what laboratory equipment was used so that other scientists don’t have hidden confounds when they attempt to replicate.
"Is this a standard procedure in the industry?" - this is really the only one I can comment on.

In many countries, there are strict laws around insider trading. Companies who are publically traded must take measures to ensure they are preventing this practice. As a result they will often need to maintain a list of "insiders", those with access to market sensitive data. As part of that, they will also usually put restrictions around your rights to trade in that companies public stock. The specific restrictions they impose will depend on the contract you're signing.

It's quite standard practice in countries with tough insider trading laws. I can't speak for how various companies decide to implement it though, or what the specifics are of what you are and aren't allowed to do.

Some companies will let you opt out of being an insider and after a certain period of time without access to market sensitive data you'll be free to trade like anyone else. Obviously if your job requires you to access that data a lot, this probably won't ever be an option for you.

Obviously there will be many people in the company who will be insiders, and after a certain point in the ladder everyone above you will be one due to the data they have access to. I'd imagine executives etc are insiders and under the same restrictions. However, that doesn't mean anything about what you're specifically allowed to do with your specific contracts.

As other comments have said, consult an attorney. In many countries the laws around insider trading can be quite tough. You don't want to get this wrong if you're considering trading the shares.

I think the smart guy was Jobs.

He was the great integrator. music, movies, chips, even the gorilla glass thing. Roped in all these people.

This is seven habits stuff: dependent -> independent -> interdependent

Steve Jobs got Apple into a big web of interdependencies where everyone moved forward. Had the whole valley involved.

Now Apple's regressed back to independent.
I totally agree. I don't think it is possible to build a perfect language. However I don't think there are many sets of requirements were Go is the best option. However there are many situations where it isn't a terrible option, and maybe that is its secret.
Yep. You'd think if the reason the US restarted their war with Iraq was using Euros as a reserve currency, they might have made a bit more fuss about those pesky Europeans creating the Euro with the explicit goal of being a global reserve currency a few years earlier...

And they say that growth has correlation with the number of founders (up to 3 founders), so it makes sense as for VCs growth is basically the only thing that matters, not so much for bootstrappers.
I'd predict a slightly different viewpoint, though also related to the environment.

If the circular economy and recycling of expired electronic devices back into raw materials cannot be solved in a satisfactory way, the next wars will be fought over the control of the deposits of various strategic minerals like PGMs and rare earths.

This will be even more important once nations and supranational entitites start increasing their strategic capability in e.g. chip fabrication.

To be clear, I don't mean WWII firebombing of Dresden level of war-making. I mean war as in grayzone "separatist"/"freedom fighter" vibe with the eventual "topple the government" actions.

A waterfall power-plant produces energy 24/7 whether the townspeople are awake or not.

They consume energy in the form of electricity during the day. At night, they have no need for it shut off the turbines. This is unused and uncaptured energy that could have been put to use. The potential energy is "wasted" because the infrastructure is underutilized, the energy could not be preserved. This is starting to change as battery technology improves and makes it economically feasible to store energy. Otherwise, energy consuming applications could consume this supply, providing return to the townspeople's investment.
Paul Hegarty does a great job of refreshing this course every year so students are taught Apple’s latest tech even when the old stuff isn’t deprecated. I’ve been coming back to CS193p lectures for years and they’re always up to date.

"DOD Awards $30.4 Million for Rare Earth Minerals Facility in Texas"

The Department of Defense and Lynas Rare Earths Ltd. will each contribute $30 million to establish a rare earths processing facility in Texas.

But that doesn't actually have much to do with advanced microprocessor fabs. The "tech" uses for rare earth elements are primarily in making magnets, lasers, and phosphors.
LOL in 9th grade, my dad took away my computer for getting bad grades. He took just the tower and stashed it in his bedroom.

My workaround was to open up the case while he was gone, and take all the components out of it. I took the Power supply, hard drive, motherboard, and all the components except floppy drive and CDROM, since those were visually external. Basically he had an empty ATX case sitting in his room.

I packed all that hardware into my backpack, no static bags, no boxes, just that hardware flopping around in my bag... I took it went to my friends house and just would go over there and use it after school instead. When it was time to get it back, I loaded all my hardware back in, and he never found out...
> Taiwan is a great ally.

Should I remind of the fact that Taiwan was very glad to sell any amount of semiconductors to mainland China.

If anybody had an option to strangle them economically, it would've been Taiwanese themselves.

China is world's biggest semiconductor market. If the tap will close on their semiconductor imports, so would've their economy at large.

Now, it's them, and not US who has to regret their prior indecisiveness the most.

Now of course attitudes have changed in Taipei, but only now.

I bet, in the next 5-10 years, Japan, and Korea will have their own time regretting being soft with Beijing just like that.

My answer to this is that back in the early '10s I massively underestimated how successful it would be as a pyramid scheme that I could get in on early, but that I massively overestimated how useful it would be as a currency, despite having an extremely low estimation of that. So I guess you and I should have had better foresight to see how good it would be for unhinged speculation, but frankly I never really have any regrets about this: I'm fundamentally not a gambler or a speculator. (However I might not like it if my wife were to gain a full understanding of how much wealthier and easier our lives could be right now if that hadn't been the case.)
because macOS is BSD based not Linux Based seems a damn good reason to make one that's going to feel similar to macOS, especially to the type of geeks who would switch to a *nix clone.

You'll have the same command line libraries built in instead of the GNU ones. Now, I'm not saying i _want_ the BSD tools instead of the GNU ones, but it makes a LOT of sense if you're trying to keep the same behavior.
Something similar works with the Windows 7 recovery partition; it pretends you have to login to one of the administrator accounts to get control, but one of the dialog has a link to a privacy policy that opens in Notepad and from its file open dialog you can start command prompts, explorer etc.
Sort of. If you expect to have to deal with people in other time zones, though, you still need to carry time zone information, so the person who lives in New York will correctly dial in to the meeting at their noon and not their 9am.

(This also raises the point that you need to preserve zone information, not just the UTC offset. Otherwise the meeting will move after a daylight saving time change, which is not usually what people want.)

> Sometimes you need to wrap a privileged operation to "dilute" it somehow. For example, imagine you have a module that allows arbitrary socket access. You also have an HTTP client. You would like the HTTP client to have network access, but for it to be usable by other modules that should only be able to contact specific hosts. Given what I've described so far that wouldn't work: the highly privileged code that can do native calls would do a stack walk, discover the unprivileged module on the stack and throw an exception.

Not sure if this is something Java enables, but in principle you could do this in a capability-style way as well. Let's say you have an HTTP client module that you want to allow another module to use, but only to make requests to a specific host. You could write a wrapper with a subset of the HTTP client's functionality, only including (for example) a send() method that would send an HTTP request to the specified host. You'd then pass that to the module that you want to be able to make HTTP connections (rather than the raw HTTP client), and provided your wrapper object doesn't expose functionality from the underlying module that would let a client specify arbitrary hosts, you're in a pretty good spot.
As someone who has done a good bit of scraping, how a website is designed dictates how I scrape.

If it's a static website that has consistently structured HTML and is easy to enumerate through all the webpages I'm looking for, then simple python requests code will work.

The less clear case is when to use a headless browser vs reverse engineering JS/server side APIs. Typically, I will do like a 10 minute dive into the client side js and monitor ajax requests to see if it would be super easy to hit some API that returns JSON to get my data. If reverse engineering seems to hairy, then I will just do headless browser.

I have a really strong preference for hitting JSON apis directly because, well, you get JSON! Also you usually get more data then you even knew existed.

Then again, if I was creating a spider to recursively crawl a non-static website, then I think Headless is the path of least resistance. But usually, I'm trying to get data in the HTML, and not the whole document.
I negotiated with my employer to spend some time every week on an open source project they depend on.

It isn't by any means a full time job, and I could definitely spend more time on it, but it does allow me to contribute to open source without completely ruining my life.

It helps that the main job is also open-source-based, so they're already committed to the concept.

Exactly. It is an instrument used to gather metrics. The study is about analyzing the metrics and not so much about the tools used to gather those metrics. Read the paper's title.

> Each button in the screenshot toolbar shows a tooltip when you hover over — not even after a couple seconds, but immediately. The one you're talking about is labeled "Record Entire Screen."

You are right, that is how I figured it out.

By giving up on using visual queues, and hovering over each button individually to see if there were any surprises.

If the circle had literally just been red I would've guessed it immediately.

To be fair Apple's page for this does show the button with the circle over it, I somehow managed to miss the circle despite reading the page twice.

I do have a bias against icons in general, I prefer text labels on all my icons but apparently that is way too 90s. :/

My guess, probably because they’re idiots.

“ A lightweight, standard publish/subscribe mechanism should be identified; possibly something like MQTT (which would have the added benefit of allowing for network-wide communication). In the meantime, the use of D-Bus as a legacy technology may be acceptable (even though it is considered obscure, convoluted, and closely linked with various other Red Hat technologies.”

This sort of sums it up right there. I mean I think dbus is a trash fire, but not because it is tied to RedHat, and “something something” hand wavy MQTT isn’t a real solution.

This seems to be more of a project driven by Linux hate then actual design principals. The former is not so much a problem as the latter

> Now Apple's regressed back to independent

I don't really understand why you say this. For example, gorilla glass is an illustration of exactly what I mean: Apple controlled the supply and drove corning to both change its formula and ramp up production unexpectedly for Apple. Apple happily paid for this. It was driven by Cook.

Likewise Apple buying up a huge percentage of milling machines for aluminium and sending them to their suppliers.

Apple's supply chain is multinational. They get heavily involved with vendors/suppliers, not simply Hon Hai and TSMC. They are willing to work with competitors (e.g. Samsung).

They have made the switch to USB Type C both in USB (they are on the USB committee and had a lot to do with the design of Type C even though they were also working on lightning) and Thunderbolt (which they cooperated with Intel on).

They are quite far from "independent"
