As a Google employee, Google owns everything you make even in your free time unless you go through some kind of process. Never worked there so don't know the details but have had it confirmed from other Google engineers.

Some other companies got this idea as well, but it's usually very easy to get that removed from an offer.
>And even if users don’t have an iOS device, an AirTag separated from its owner for an extended period of time will play a sound when moved to draw attention to it.
That's not so. I'm writing from an M1 MacBook Pro with 16GB factory installed memory.
To be fair, replaceable batteries in laptops and phones also used to be the status quo and Apple successfully changed that. Just because it’s the status quo wouldn’t prevent Apple from “thinking different”.
The new iMac colors are beautiful

WHY can't everything come in the same set of colors?!?

1 set of colors for iPhones
Another for watches
Another now for iMacs
Another for iPads

I want to color coordinate everything. If all casings for the most part are the same aluminum the paint process must be the same?

I want my phone to match my watch to match my laptop - period.
For those wondering about the new location of the ethernet socket, remember in many environments (offices, schools, etc.), the network port is often beside the power on the wall/in the floor. Makes sense to have them beside each other.
But you have a “charger” on a device without a battery.

Power bricks are the most inelegant solution to a problem ever. Can’t think of a clever design to accommodate the features we want? shove it on a box and put it to the side. Lazy.
FWIW, Robinhood has zero fees on crypto! I believe they are the least expensive option on bitcoin, ether, etc.

You don't actually take possession of the coin - no wallet, etc, purely custodial. But saves the 3.5% bitcoin fee from Coinbase!
probably just the only practical thing. don’t imagine people wanting to charge these things
I wonder how many companies will choose to kill off Grafana use as a result of this change. Two companies I've worked for have simply banned the use of anything having a GPL type license.
Is 8GB of unified memory enough for a such machine?
Not 9 years ago. The late 2012 27” are 1440p.
I think node is great for stateless micro services. I know many people here have a vendetta against micro service architecture, but it has worked wonderfully for me in my career. Development is fast and I can keep cloud bills down with autoscaling.
Podcasts are a symbol of the open web for me. They're free by and large, and largely not controlled by a walled garden platform. I can choose any number of apps to consume them. It's sad to see some big ones moving away from this model.

Just on Spotify specifically, it's a terrible client for podcasts. It feels like they've just bolted the feature onto the wrong product.
That's the danger of late-stage minimalism. All the designs converge on featureless rectangles.
I've been thinking the same things, that there is a small likelihood there's a nasty black swan hiding in there somewhere.

But in addition to the theory, we're approaching one year of empirical data on large-scale clinical trials, soon improving by the millions every day. So I'm less and less nervous for such a "holy shit, who could have imagined that" moment for each week that passes.

That the rare AZ/J&J side effects were promptly discovered is also a good sign that the monitoring system works.
I just want the remote. My kids completely destroyed my remotes 5x over.
Thanks for your work on munin. I love it! And I appreciate your responsiveness here. Personally I don't care if my server wastes time generating HTML I never see. It's not enough work to make any difference. But I care a lot about seeing the HTML instantly when I want it, not waiting for anything to render.
Several factors play into it - how much is it used for 'lost' vs 'stolen(?)' as well as 'if stolen, by someone savvy enough to be checking for tags?' and 'if stolen how long before anti-stalking alerts? Does it alert during daily commutes on the same train? Only after 2+ hours? 3+?'
I don't know about that, crates that RustSec has advisories for are often yanked, in my experience.

Bugs? No. Security bugs? Yes.
I suppose it's not as much a major change but more like an upgrade or evolution to get feature parity. If it turns out you can make more devices use a SoC you already have you can scale up production of that SoC and get the benefit of scale.
I don't think MacOS supports touch, yet.
Notepad is a wrapper around a plain text control.

WordPad is a wrapper around a rich text control.
> Brand; the days of “technological advantage” as a differentiator are over.

There is a vast gulf even in terms of „just working“ between garbage like Microsoft Teams and something like Discord.
If you are not offering a product built on top of Grafana as a network-available service, then there is no difference between the new license and the previous GPL3 license for you whatsoever.

If you are, then your obligation would change to specifically making only that work which builds on top of the Grafana code available to others for free, along with the AGPL3-licensed Grafana code. You are not required to license that code that you wrote in any way, with the caveat that others may freely use it.
Having spatial audio of the AirPods Max supported on any device you want to watch a movie on?

And up to date, Homepods are not really supported on MacOS, though support seems to be in 11.3.
Which makes you wonder: why the hell did they remove it from the MBP...only to re-introduce it to another product 3 years later?

Do different product teams just not talk to each other at Apple?
Probably never.

The divergence between macOS and ipadOS is not technical, it's that Apple believes a touch-oriented and a pointer-oriented interface are completely different things.
In my testing with spatial audio, the effect doesn't seem to change with distance, so I think direction is all it relies on.

I could be wrong though, it might be doing something subtle. But even if it were, it would still be fine to fall back to a default distance of 2m or something.
Family friendly policies and users fleeing.
I think Apple decided preventing people from using Airtags to stalk someone is more important than preventing theft. Makes sense to me, can you imagine a high profile murder occurring because the perp was able to follow them with an airtag?
With respect, Python's not really a systems language. Its type system takes it out of the running for that purpose. I think systems languages would be more along the lines of C, C++, C#, Rust, and maybe Java and Go.
The resiliency of the global supply chain this past year has actually blown my mind. The worst US consumers saw was, what, paper towel and toilet paper shortages for a couple months?
I think it is a pretty neat idea. It is not a cable I want to add/remove often, so not having it coming up to the table, at least sounds nice on paper.
I am constantly wondering why the fourth controller doesn't seem to pair. Thank you!
It'll be interesting to see if iPadOS 15 steps us any closer to laptop/desktop class usage. The biggest thing holding back iPad from being a real laptop replacement for so many is the software. It's also not as simple as porting macOS to iPad. I get Apple's hesitancy from a usability and a product cannibalization standpoint, but it's time they step things forward.
It's overkill since most iPadOS apps are not optimized for more memory.
Context: Government notified that PM Modi would address the nation today at 8:45 PM. Many indians worried and panicked as many of his such national addresses in the past announced sudden new or changed policies with very short notice to plan for it. Grofers, a grocery delivery service noticed a surge in their service probably in anticipation that the PM would announce another lockdown due to huge second wave of COVID-19 cases overwhelming our healthcare system.

(Wonder what their cart abandonment rate was after everyone learnt there wasn't going to be another lockdown?).
>Because the less pixelated it looks the more natural a conversation flows?

That's not a problem, since Zoom and co don't stream in higher resolutions anyway, and even 720p will be highly compressed
I don't think it's about features, but mostly about the input methods.
Until this day we (as a society) haven't found a way to combine pointer based and touch based UIs in a single product in a way that at least one of them doesn't suck hard.
Yes. This is the case. And the versions that come with Ethernet have the Ethernet port on that brick.
I frequently travel, and bring my AppleTV with me to hook up to hotel TVs.

It would be great if they made a way to support Web logins for WiFi.

At the moment, I do t see a big change between this version and the one I own. If they added that feature, I’d buy it in a heartbeat so I could stop spoofing my AppleTV’s MAC on my laptop just to login to the hotel web portals.
Apple has repeatedly denied that whenever it's come up. MacOS and iPadOS are completely different platforms with different goals.
The product page is up indicating 128GB base storage and an interesting RAM note:

> 8GB RAM on models with 128GB, 256GB, or 512GB storage

> 16GB RAM on models with 1TB or 2TB storage
The new iMac has lower resolution (4480x2520, 218 dpi) than the old 27" iMac (5120x2880, 218 dpi).
Unfortunately in at will employment states in the USA, a company could fire you for most of those things if they wanted to and it would be within their rights to do so. As long as they are not discriminating against a protected class they can fire you for almost anything.
I think this is a misunderstanding of how vague the AGPL actually is.

The key clause is "your modified version must prominently offer all users interacting with it remotely through a computer network (if your version supports such interaction) an opportunity to receive the Corresponding Source of your version."

Would putting AGPL software behind a reverse proxy change the fact that you're a user interacting with it remotely? What about a reverse proxy that changes/adds some headers? What about a really smart reverse proxy that reformats some of the output or repackages it or mixes it with things from other data sources? Is that materially different from the API that powers the "proprietary UI" you're describing?

And say you're pretty confident that you're on the right side of things. Can you point to any case law where courts have established precedent about what "interacting with it remotely" means in this context? No? Then to be on the safe side, you'll probably need to maintain a source code repository for your Corresponding Source, remember to update it every time you update a minor version of the service internally, and maintain an info screen in your product with "prominent" links to that source code repository, which likely means it needs sign off from a product team if not a legal team as well. All things that add expense and barriers to entry.

I think the AGPL is great for services like Grafana's UI itself, where there's likely to be a "human gap" between the software and anyone outside your organization. But things like Loki that are designed to power other proprietary systems that may well be touched by end users through a computer network, where Loki's output may have influence or side effects on the output the user sees? I don't think it's nearly as clear what liability that entails.

(Obligatory: Not a lawyer, the above is not legal advice.)
Fired might be different, but if you leave some places won't pay out vacation or only 50%. Some places have learned not paying out banked leave leads to poor outcomes but others still get away with it. Not paying out vacation is a good way to get someone to take all their vacation right before they leave so you get no time to offload work.
I took the comment to mean it's only useful for something like npm/webpack (dependency management and hot loading), which I strongly disagree with.
>Does this render it useless for anti-theft, then?

It's hard to make tracking devices hidden. They need to phone home, so that means they emit a signal. Someone can sniff that out using a RF detector. that's why tracking devices tend to be integrated into the product itself (eg. into the ECU for cars, or part of the CPU/motherboard for computers).
I don’t mind the Ethernet port, but I was wondering the same thing. Is there no longer any value in making the computer larger? I’d expect that there is something that was cut for the thinness, but maybe not?
Yes, it does or this wouldn't have done a thing https://www.sysorchestra.com/reduce-thermal-throttling-on-yo...
I’ve used Discord only for gaming and I would prefer all the non-voice stuff to be able to be hidden. If it wasn’t the most reliable audio for group voice chat that we’ve tried (Steam voice is still an echo-y mess for us three, Signal wouldn’t connect us, and then I conceded and went back to Discord), we’d use something else. I don’t like that it tracks what we’re playing, that it tries to be friendly with its treacly messages (it’s a tool; my shovel doesn’t say “welcome back, I missed you!”...), and that it keeps deleted accounts around. I can see that others may want all these and other Facebook-esque features. I like that Discord uses .opus codec, and that the audio is dependable and clear. Maybe Mumble to try next? What open-source options might work for enterprise?
It wouldn't, but in this specific case they didn't. Did apple bring any actual innovation that I missed? That's why I was proposing wireless charging, that would've actually been a nice step forward.
I agree. Are there really that many people using iPads for high performance video/audio editing? Everyone I know uses their iPad as a video player or recipe displayer.
You seem to be deliberately missing the point. I'd cheerfully give you my contact info and be an early adopter, but all you have shown is the contents page of a whitepaper.

These are just buzzwords. In the time you've taken replying in this thread, you could have written three or four sentences summarizing what your product will do differently. If you care so much about my privacy and security, what exactly are you offering in return for my contact information?

It's like if I offer you Luxury, precision, style, value. NewThing is the product for high achievers who demand the best. Apply now for exclusive preview and priority access. I too can conjure up a list of desirable qualities and leverage FOMO. Make me a value proposition instead of trying to leverage my emotions alone.

> Configurable to 16GB unified memory
My experience with streaming sticks or other micro devices is that they get super hot and degrade over time pretty quickly. A small brick like Roku Ultra is much more durable. Bonus points for having an ethernet port. I'm also a fan of the Roku remote with the headphone jack built in and TV volume controls.
Right-click the server icon, select "notifications settings", press "Mute <server name>". When it asks how long, select "until I turn it back on". This will kill the white dot unless you're mentioned (or @everyone'd). Its a little tricky to find but that will solve your issue
Electricity must be on 24/7/365.

Brief periodic outages may be acceptable.

Portions of Texas were without power for weeks. Because of predictable cold well within historical experience.

The market as designed per "prices will induce supply" failed. And no price incentive will create gigawatts of generating capacity in minutes to hours.

Just as nine women cannot make a baby in one month.

Some processes require time and/or advanced planning.
They finally reworked the atrocity that was the old remote, great news. Just yesterday I had another issue in which I couldn’t tell which button I was pressing.
The new calculator is written with UWP and C++, right? I'm failing to see the similarity.
Glad I'm not the only one thinking this. Seems obvious, but I always felt like I was missing something. How is it that most of the tech/SV world is just the same con being run over and over again, yet it keeps working? Does it operate on the same psychological glitch as a lottery? Do the giant corps buying these startups all think "I know how it's been in the past, but surely THIS startup WON'T turn to shit the moment I buy it because it was never a real business to begin with! This time for sure!"

Or are the real suckers the investors, and the corps are just doing these purchases in a performative capacity to keep razzle-dazzling them?
The payment processing was literal parsing of data files on the local disks. It was where modern fintech interfaced with archaic banking technology. Apparently they ran benchmarks and concluded NodeJS was the most suitable for their requirements.
I don't get it either, max 16gb? I want/need more.
Wait why are you assuming they gained more than lost? OP also mentioned that other places have $0 trades anyway in terms of the cheapness.
That's incorrect. The lower-tier Tile Mate has a 1 year user-replaceable CR1632 battery. The Tile Mate is only $62 for a 4-pack compared to $89.99 for a 4-pack of Tile Pros or $99 for a 4-pack of AirTags. User-replaceable 1 year batteries have been the norm for a while as both the Mate and Pro were introduced 2.5 years ago.
I assume “over time” means for a long enough period to eliminate the possibility that you’re on a train with other people.
If only there was a way for the socket to reach a different place and not be condemned to have every device 2 inches from it...
The previous generation maxed at 6, so probably.

Although note that it maxes at 16, not 8. But the RAM you get is linked to the SSD size for some reason:

> 8GB RAM on models with 128GB, 256GB, or 512GB storage

> 16GB RAM on models with 1TB or 2TB storage
I cannot tell you how delighted I am that Apple is (slowly) moving away from its entirely clinical brushed-aluminum aesthetic. Can't wait for them to ship a pro machine that doesn't look like a bulky surgical instrument that needs to be dipped in a bath of hydrogen peroxide.
While that makes sense, Apple's recent changes with the iPad Keyboard case adding a trackpad makes me think that they might have something else brewing for the long term. Time will tell, but I would love to see more MacOS applications like XCode become available on the iPad.

Edit: Also the fact that MacOS has been changing the UI to make it more touch friendly, for example: new control center.
I love Node - does anyone have good experiences with using Node with Rust/Java/C++ for interop as necessary performance wise?

I know it's possible and that some teams do it, but the story wasn't great with (much) earlier versions of node. Some teams just wrote their stuff in another language and just use a child process in node to call it, serializing everything as a string and DE serializing it in the other language. The problem with that though is that you suffer a pretty decent performance penalty serializing and deserializing, and though it still might be worth it, it's also not great since some teams actually just called similarly to how you'd call a shell script.

Is it much better than that now?
From all available Macs the new iMac is the only one not to feature a black device bezel. This is so sad! Dark mode is gonna look so stupid that way, an watching a movie is gonna be annoying too. I guess they needed to avoid having an iMac that looks from the front no different than the previous model. Byt whyyyy???
The Whistle works quite well. And if your dog is somewhere where no other iPhone's are around, it'll still work.
RIP grafana

^^ this is not a good contribution to HN, not much substance. (edit)

Many people who use Grafana will see this news and will stop planning on using Grafana and start planning on doing something else. That has nothing to do with Grafana, that is a common reaction to AGPL.

In theory, AGPL is fine under circumstances blahblahblah. In common practice in commercial settings (in my experience), GPL is poison and AGPL is radioactive poison.
> solved by good noise insulation

You've obviously never met my neighbors. But noise is just one example; far more annoying when I was in an apartment was someone smoking below my balcony on a hot night when all I wanted was to open the windows.

And I suppose you'll tell me that filtration systems could take care of that, which is true, but staying locked in a closed apartment is, as has been recently shown, terrible for your health, physically and emotionally.

It's no use, I shall keep my yard and clear, dark skies where you can see the stars, and wildlife.
‘Dota: Dragon’s Blood’ Season 2 is now officially renewed for Book 2 on Netflix
That's true, but Apple already has a rich and successful game ecosystem on iPhones which are roughly the same hardware as the Apple TV. They have all the ingredients, and they've even made a visible attempt by offering Apple Arcade on the Apple TV. Wireless console controllers also work on Apple TV. It's just clear that the resources and effort haven't been made to get their Arcade developers to do the extra work to really make their titles work well on big TVs with console controllers.
even if they work properly, i can't get past the idea of having to replace a battery every year. and you probably wouldn't just have one of these either.

its the same reason i could never get into any of that iot stuff since they mostly rely on batteries. its just plain absurd when you work out how many you would go through in your lifetime and is its crazy to think that everyone else would be doing the same thing.
I want to change my global settings, not server settings. I'm on dozens of Discords and join/leave them and change their order on the sidebar all the time. Going through each of them (and remembering to do it every time I join a new one) sounds like a nightmare. Every time I hear/see a notification that I don't want, I'd have to go through all those dialogs for all of my servers? Nope, not gonna happen.
I had hoped for spatial audio in an updated AppleTV, as I finally want to be able to use that great feature of the Airpods Max. It is strange that Apple creates devices like the Airpods Max and then not support them with their hardware.
Maybe they reverted their decision and will re-introduce it also to the laptop line.
If your use case needs more RAM then simply chose the 16GB option.

8GB RAM is fine for a large portion of casual users and if it keeps the base price down I'm okay with it.
So with this tiny $25 thingy my neighbor can track me in real-time after gluing it to my car? Nice.

No, honestly, this is a bit concerning, isn't it?
My guess is that they prefer to sell more than one device to everybody, so not anytime soon.

Really interested to hear Apple’s excuse not allowing to run MacOS on M1 iPad pro with an external monitor and keyboard. The standard "optimized for different use case" argument doesn't make that much sense with that setup.
And the labels are on the back.
I have an 8GB M1 air. It's fine on day one when you power it on and have a single safari tab, but leave a few things open and its swap hell. The SSD may be fast but it really takes away from the magic when your waiting multiple seconds to switch to another app's window. I regret not waiting for a custom configured 16GB one.
