> There’s something wrong about the fact that software engineering isn’t actually engineering.

Well, the point is that UML isn't engineering, either. The visual syntaxes are overly baroque, and in many cases add little or nothing over just stating the exact same information in plain text (though there are of course exceptions, where "tracing" linkages visually, looking at containment etc. can actually help when surveying a design).

And the whole OOAD/RUP methodology of "just list plausible 'objects' from the overall problem domain and reflect them directly in the design and implementation" does not exactly help, either. It mistakes what "objects" in the OOP sense are supposed to be used for.

Nice solution, thanks for the effort.
Inflation doesn’t show up in CPI but it sure has shown up in asset prices as a direct consequence of their unwillingness to pull back on M1. So your initial point that you have to keep reminding people that we won’t see inflation because velocity of money has declined is not accurate. We have seen it in all asset classes and it is because they never, ever pull back on M1.

Yeah. "Rigor of the design" and "medium of expression of the design" are two independent axes. You can have a sloppy design expressed in UML, or you can have a rigorous design expressed in UML. Or you can have a sloppy or rigorous design expressed in something else.

The question then is: Is UML a good notation for expressing designs? And I think the general consensus is, "no". It's too high-ceremony for how much it aids communication.

And if you're going really rigorous, well, I'm going to guess that TLA+ doesn't read UML diagrams...
Well said – everything new does not need to be a replacement for something else. Options/choices are good, especially because each one can lean into a different solution space.

>* In 2021, the State Department upheld their decision to remove the plans from the "export-controlled weapons" list.

>the appellate panel found 2-1 that a 1989 federal law prohibits courts from overruling the State Department’s decision to add or remove a weapon from the Munitions List

nit: As I understand it, they didn't uphold the decision, they decided the courts had no say in the matter, and could not overrule even if they wanted to.

Which makes the dissenting judge's opinion a little concerning, because he seems to have been trying a different decision making process -- the courts should have a say, because he wanted to have a say in the matter.

but I'm basing this on the one quote from the article.
The scare quote are flying pretty fast there. It's worth pointing out that Strzok's crime consists of personally being a democrat (probably) and thinking that the target of his investigation (Trump) was guilty. In the world of partisan media, of course, that's essentially capital treason. But to the rest of us? Meh.

Let's be honest: There are probably republicans in the government right now texting each other about how they hate Biden. And no one does, or should, care.

Companies who run social media sites are not in a position to be journalists, or even editors. They are mostly moderators, trying to navigate around regulatory rocks and PR disaster storms. I suppose they would happily not curb any speech, just because it increases engagement (and with it, ad revenues).

Actual journalists, that is, people reporting things, are those who have to demonstrate the ethos. But in social media, the people who white the posts are the users, in other words, ourselves.
That is surprising to me, since this essentially replicates MultiMarkdown with none of the benefits. I have used MMD -> HTML for lengthy Reddit posts, but least there the citation links are live.

While I don't think your analysis is wrong, I think it's highly developer and power user focused, representing a very small percentage of Mac owners.

iOS-ification of macOS in particular is incredibly overblown, power users have been playing up a few security design changes and modernized APIs (e.g. kext > system extensions) as if they're huge negatives that will "ruin" macOS. I just don't think those issues matter.

If the Mac itself improving was part of the Q2 results, you wouldn't have seen the similar levels of iPad revenue spike. There has been no significant change to the iPad lineup that would convince someone to buy or not buy in the last couple of years.

That's why I think this is 100% Covid or whatever you call this current spike in demand.

You've just described the Apple business model, perfectly.

I noticed in the early 2000s, and it has held true ever since: don't bother getting the first three iterations of a new Apple product unless you're well and truly enthusiastic about it. They always iterate, it always gets better, and the fourth go around is generally when I'll be happy with it.

One which I thought was too cool to pass up was AirPods, and yeah the first generation were really special and I'm glad I got them. The wireless case in the second generation was a nice bump, and the AirPods Pro (gen 3) are a clear improvement in every way. I did get a pair from the bad batch which started having problems with noice cancellation, but the replacement process was pretty smooth: so I conclude that if I wasn't in a hurry, the next generation, the fourth, would be "insanely great" and the right time to buy.
> The Smith–Mundt Act makes it illegal to distribute propaganda where it may be consumed by a primarily US audience.

That hasn't been true for nearly a decade as the Smith-Mundt act was "modernized" in 2012 to allow for exactly that [0].

Even when it was in effect, I doubt anybody was seriously trying to abide by that. The closest thing to practically doing that would have been to completely skip on the English language, which I seriously doubt they did.

I put that denial into the very same camp as the NSA denying spying on American citizens: They say it because they are supposed to say that and admitting to it would put them in a world of trouble trough open admission of guilt.

> Also from just a practical investment perspective, creating a bunch of sock puppets on Reddit to try and influence the opinion of Putin doesn't make sense.

It makes a lot of sense, not just to manufacture consent, but also trough the fact how the US is the literally largest culture exporter on the planet. US social media isn't just populated by Americans: Facebook, Reddit, Twitter and whatnot are by now overwhelmingly used by international audiences.

Sure, there are countries that try to ban these platforms, but that doesn't stop the USG from still trying to get something going [1]

> You would need to ask WeChat, VK, Weibo, Douyin, and OK for transparency reports on how many state-sponsored accounts they have terminated.

But none of these are in any way widely used outside of their respective countries, their very limited reach and lack of language diversity, makes them inherently inferior to the globally dominating US social media platforms.

Yet that's where the "opinion wars" are won, where the international Overton window is defined: On the global stage, not on comparatively obscure domestic platforms.

I don't know why you got downvoted, but your comment is spot on. So many Western people have this weird fascination with Japan, like it's some kind of fantasy & cyberpunk wonderland. But when you live here... well, it's just a normal place with normal people, some cool technology (but nowhere like the 80's) and some really outdated practices.

I’ve been wondering the same. I think of inducing heat/cold similar to turning a rusty spigot. The first few turns are difficult but the more you do it the easier it gets.

But do spigots in other parts of your body get turned that are also rusty, so to speak?

I notice cold/hot showers help my body regulate my temperature better, generally.
> argued that the potential increase in accessibility of ghost guns presents “a serious threat to public safety” and noted that the weapons have been linked to several mass shootings.

This reasoning is completely irrelevant as the law in question concerns international arms trafficking, not availability of guns to domestic criminals.

Nor did this ruling have anything to do with the Second Amendment or its interpretation. The question was whether or not guns could be exported from the country via the Internet. The State Department exercised its unilateral foreign policy prerogative to remove these prints from the US Munitions List as part of its role in implementing arms treaties. Other state and federal laws regulate who can actually make these guns and what they can do with them.

By an odd coincidence I was just today looking around to see if I could find any data or graphs or anything from Lysenko's original work. I didn't turn up anything. Does anyone have any suggestions?

I hadn't thought about Vavilov and all that in years. It happens that my grandmother worked for him briefly in the early 30s. She and her husband decided communism was a good idea and shipped out to Russia from their home (in Philadelphia) and within a year or so concluded that communism was insane. There was (I was told) a certain amount of touch-and-go securing a boat ride for the two of them back to somewhere in Scandinavia and thence back to the US. They both remained staunch anti-communists for the rest of their lives.

Not a lot of point telling all that, I guess, but it is interesting to think that I grew up in a household where Lysenko and the ills he caused were a commonplace. Funny to see it on Hacker News.

And what is mission critical? Aerospace control software? Wouldn’t it be nice if all software was “mission critical”? Not all houses are skyscrapers, but all houses are designed and built to industry acceptable specs and if those specs are wrongly designed or executed incorrectly there are consequences, and rightly so I think.
I switched awhile ago, and have now gotten the bundle as well. I bought an app on iOS called SongShift that has handled migrating my playlists very well. It’ll even keep them in sync both ways.

Ah, the classic build tool evolution cycle!
1. Become frustrated with complex build tool

2. Write a new tool that is dead simple, opinionated (your opinions), convention over configuration, etc

3. Post to HN

4. Achieve adoption

5. As more people use the tool, feature creep ensues

6. In order to satisfy diverse use cases, make everything modular and configurable!

7. Tool slows and becomes impossible to manage

8. GOTO 1.
I’d like you to query your family and find out. Of course this is not a reasonable request and I’ll likely never know.

This isn’t to mean you have poor relationships. It’s just extremely likely as it happens in every other group.

I have friends and family who I don’t include in group chats because we’re using iOS features. It’s nothing significant so I don’t tell them about it.

I also have group chats with them. An example is there’s a family group chat about a planned vacation, everyone is on it. It’s pretty important.

I have numerous other group chats with hiking photos and kid photos that don’t include them because they can’t do moment shares and all the stuff that my family members send out from their iPhone.

I don’t think this means we have a bad relationship. I also don’t text my elderly family members who don’t have mobiles, I call them.

It’s just a function of using convenient tools and what’s available.

Similarly I have friends and business groups that only communicate through discord or whatsapp or viber, etc. I would never feel bad because a subset of my friends started a chat on Facebook and didn’t include me. I don’t use that app.

But I also don’t believe that I’m in all group chats with all people I think are important.
And yet the reason we have the interpretation of the second amendment we have today comes down to a small panel of people ruling at a particular moment in time.

Do you think you could pass an amendment expanding the second amendment had the court ruled more narrowly on it? I don't.

It's a thin line of interpretation currently, so we shouldn't pretend that there's overwhelming support for the status quo either. The reason these court challenges happen in the first place has been because large groups of Americans have chosen to try to restrict guns.

So let's keep having the conversation until we decide to fix the constitution.

> UML, for all of it's faults, is precisely defined. Every symbol means something.

That's another fault, in my opinion. I'd rather have a vague high-level diagram with a write-up that rigorously describes all the invariants and structure than have a really semantic diagram which is meant to stand alone.

I think software structure is too complex to model with anything less powerful than natural language — that's why we add comments into code to explain the things that even the code itself doesn't make obvious.
Yes, that kind of disagrees with the reality, but I think it's more to do with Musk just being more in the favour of the board as others have suggested.

From what I understand, the Apple Watch is much more of a general purpose computing device than Garmin's more fitness-focused lineup.

It should be noted that Garmin's battery life drops to 36 hours (fenix 6) once GPS mode is on, which is comparable to the Apple Watch.

Long battery life is a lot less important in this category than you'd think. You throw your watch on your night stand every night and forget about it.
Design is “engineering”. Engineers design, by definition[0]. Design, contrary to popular belief is about solving problems. Industrial design in particular focuses on how things work, not just the aesthetics of an object.

[0] from the OED: a) To make drawings for the construction or creation of (something, as a building, object, garment, etc.) according to certain aesthetic criteria; (b) to make plans for the production of (a device, product, etc.) according to structural or functional criteria (sometimes without the implication of aesthetic requirements); (c) (in extended use) to conceive, devise, plan (something immaterial, as a scheme, system, programme, etc.).

Wyatt Earp was alive to see himself portrayed in the film Wild Bill Hickok, and he was best friends with the actor who played Hickok.
The difference is that people (usually implicitly, sometimes explicitly) consent to some topics and not others. Most tabletop roleplaying groups have an understanding about what topics and behavior are appropriate with that group. There are also more formal tools/mechanics to help groups agree on what sort of stuff is too unpleasant to include in the game.

Most tabletop roleplaying games have mechanics about killing things but no mechanics about sexual violence, so that tends to set expectations too.
The reasonable end game is probably something like justices with term limits, or a fixed number of appointments per presidential term.

Different people will pay different amounts. Doing demand management like the airlines do will get closer to what people will pay.

Fortunately as consumers, we often don't have to pay as much as we'd be willing to pay, so the price is an underestimate of consumer value.

But then again, it's easy for companies to confuse the issue. How can you tell what people would be willing to pay for shipping when they are using Amazon Prime and have "free" shipping? They themselves might not know if they're getting a good deal or not.

Seeing the market reaction isn't nothing, but it doesn't tell you what would have happened if you did something different. Startup often have trouble picking a price and may never know if they did it right.
