I have to manage a few different inboxes — gmail, work email, startup email, Whatsapp, Discord, Upwork, Slack... there’s no UI as consistent as the iPhone for doing so on the desktop, at least not for Windows as of 2015 and recent Linux.

Then: since all these things are mainly on my phone, my desktop computer is for Work. I don’t even have tabbed browsing, use a tiling WM with a tiny status bar and often hide even that inside code editor.
Scott Forstall ( he said it himself ) was pushing for Native Apps even before the launch of iPhone, Steve Jobs disagree and thought ( as Mark Zukerberg did ) that HTML 5 apps would take over, it would be easier to make, and just as good. Scott argued HTML5 will never be as good as native. And he was right.

Then jailbreak happens, and Steve Jobs agreed to change. Copied the App Store model. And the rest is history.

( The App Store model exist long before Jailbreak in other 3G phones and market. So it isn't really new )

I saw his diagrams as referring to a stream of projects rather than a single project. Or a backlog of tickets if you look at it from an agile perspective. In that environment you can definitely have a team be falling behind in the sense of items going into the backlog faster than they are worked on. Each item is a project with a deadline that is being missed. However the team metric is not merely those individual existing projects but the aggregate of all current and future projects. A larger team will usually help with that last metric in the long term.
As a statement I spent almost the cost of a new car for being able to afford these kind of Electron apps.

I greatly dislike Electron, but since almost everyone is forcing that on us, I, as a protestor, got top-of the line hardware.

I got 128 Gb of RAM, i9-9880H, SSD NVME2, and a Quadro RTX 4000 8Gb, on a mobile workstation.

Let's see how much time left until Electron apps catch up in bloat.

We need to be extremely careful using this kind of argument (or, in fact, fallacy). By the same token, we all get some secondary exposure to some toxic substances, we might as well not care at all and expose ourselves more. When you think about it, exactly the opposite makes sense.

So basically if someone invented an eco-coin, that is a well-designed project fostering technologies focusing on healing the Earth (more efficient waste recycling, green energy, better air filters, new technologies for toxic and nuclear waste removal etc.), taking into account all the consequences of extreme popularity (none of the existing coins have, or they simply don't care), I'd be the first to invest in it, knowing that even if I lose, I win.
From what I've read, it seems accepted that the mechanism is closer to Ice-nine - a bad protein shows up next to a good one, and causes the latter to re-fold into a copy of the bad one. The exact mechanism of this is not known.
I'm 24, had Covid-19 in November, and since then I've had severe, chronic chest pain every single day for months. Cardiologists report similar effects so, anecdotally, I'm inclined to agree with the information being proposed in the article OP posted. I hope we get more research and medical study on the long term effect of the pandemic over the next year or two.

agree with all points but this one:

> Technology isn't inherently good or bad; it just is what it is.

I think we need a new framework for looking at this. All of technology creates different variations of the trolley-problem. So it's like saying:

Trolley-company isn't inherently good or bad; it just is what it is.

In most cases we don't even know there is a trolley so we get away by framing it like this but it's deeply problematic IMO.

Those who write the history books and get to frame things for the future are always the representatives of the trolley company. But just because we have framed it this way throughout human history by using terms such as good, bad or neutral doesn't help either. I'm not saying that tech is bad I'm saying that saying any insinuation of presenting Tech as neutral from a moral (not legal) pov is problematic. Because if we use this by looking into the past then we must also acknowledge all the medical breakthroughs that were created during WWII. (I'm using a flippant point for purpose of illustrating just how problematic this statement is and we're not gonna find a solution by focusing on Technology because it's above all not a technical problem)

Especially people in security would be well positioned to think about this because of the bird-eye pov and adversarial thought that's required to analyse it. But perhaps it's not enough and we also need to integrate people from other domains (or at least stop being hostile to the social sciences as an "inferior science" ... because this is exactly the place where we don't see the forest because of the trees)
> I can't know whether his comment was reasonable without looking through the comments he was referring to (and neither can you)

Nah, I can. It seems quite toxic regardless of what has been said to him.

I don’t see what is unreasonable about shaming anti-social behavior. When you see any “unsolicited advice”, even between two same gendered persons, as a manifestation of patriarchy you are bound to come off as toxic.
Do pick up trucks cause more accidents? Is there data that supports this?
I can't vouch for the parts, but they supported machines from the eighties. This is not some cheap consumer product that has half-lifetime of 13 months.
Totally agree, but that's not new, makers have always sold laptops with not enough RAM. Two years ago, I extended the 8GB RAM of my Lenovo E330, to 16GB, and now I can keep it several years more. Buying a desktop or laptop PC with only 8 GB RAM is a nonsense nowadays, but unfortunately, few people are aware of that. And if you build a brand new gaming computer, you have to put 32GB of RAM, if you want to keep it many years

Yeah, but car sales ain't it.

Carvana and similar are such a better experience than dealing with a salesperson whose incentive and words you have to interrogate. I'd wager that salespeople will be needed only for high ticket price, high risk deals where trust is critical in getting the job done. Anything else that can be made transactional will be and the associated sales jobs will be lost.
Can you elaborate a bit? I am quite familiar with the various iPods but quite unfamiliar with cars.
Ha-ha, I just bought Dell 3410 with 4GB of RAM. Of course I upgraded it to 16GB and I'm considering upgrading it to 32GB in a few years if necessary. 8 GB is not that bad. I would consider using 8 GB if not for virtual machines, but that's hardly an ordinary user use-case.

The pedantic discussions can be fun and educational, but the regex based hack gets the job done in a few minutes, while the pedants are still wrestling with parsers and libraries.

... and then there's the anticipated joy of seeing the pedants' complicated, theoretically correct solution explode because the input wasn't what they assumed, in the first place.

The pedants that have that experience either become enlightened, or vociferously strident about the importance of proper, theoretically correct solutions in place of quick hacks.

>prognosis becomes self fulfilling

It's not self fulfilling if it's accurate to begin with. I assume that what you are trying to say is that they became to pessimistic at the dismal state of affairs and "gave up". But that is not the case at all. Our progress as a species is faster than ever in every account and that is the problem, we are going very fast an the errors we make have larger consequences as a result an we have less and less time to fix them.

The first step to solve a serious problem is to diagnose it correctly. You cannot lie yourself out of a bad situation.
The "relativist" as you call them or "realist" as I prefer to call them did their contribution by identifying the problems and setting up a framework to do so going forward, now is up to the rest of society to solve them. That is perfectly within our grasp if we stop pointing fingers at each-other and get to work.

I tend to buy around 4-6 years old and run them for 10-12 years as well, which is limited by New England tinworm from the road salt we use rather than mechanical issues.

Beyond airbags and ABS (both now ubiquitous), I don’t need the new feature faff. I just need something that will start everyday and that I can do the basic maintenance on. Fortunately, that’s still easily available and cheap in the 5-ish year-old “those cars are too old to be reliable” mindset-driven market.

I can’t believe that people are willing to borrow money to keep driving 0-4 year old cars forever, but I’m glad they do because it greatly subsidizes the cars I drive.

There's a wide space between connected and dumb appliances. For instance my espresso coffeemaker is fairly dumb : I'm not even sure that it has a chip that turns the light green when the resistor is hot enough, it might be just some "dumb" sensor. (Still, because of this, it's not completely dumb.)

In comparison, my electric kettle is much smarter, and most likely requires a chip to make all the logic around the various buttons and the screen and the water temperature settings work. Still, it has zero connectivity.

> we accept bloat as a natural fact of life and accommodate to that

I don’t disagree with your post, but what is the solution here?

Your average consumer likely doesn’t understand the specific role of computer RAM, nor do they understand that software they’re using excessively wastes it. How can they accept or reject something they don’t know?

And it’s a similar problem with many developers. They don’t think about memory, or they view it as some infinite resource pool.

I see folks often times using complex “frameworks” to solve trivial problems. They merely wanted to 2 + 2, but that framework has a dependency graph for solving systems of equations and partial derivatives.

Democratization of tech and programming has resulted in a lot of inefficiencies. I mean - that’s the cost, right?

> we encourage active obscolecence and further pollution of our environment

I don’t think your typical consumer encourages this at all. Between their jobs, families, and all the stress of day to day life, Im not convinced they even have time to think about these things.
> "A technical word being offensive in English has much more weight than being offensive in another language, because it affects so much more people."

Rather ethnocentric, don't you think? I don't think the rest of the world, which outnumbers the English speaking world, will take kindly to such reasoning.
Yeah, I would go as far as saying that the iPhone 1 as it was released was much closer to what we later called a feature phone than a smartphone.
Naïvely speaking, 23andMe cannot trade your data to anybody...
It is actually.

Software development can either focus on new features made possible by complex inefficient abstractions or can be focused on efficiency in limited hardware.

Focusing on efficiency will always come at cost of reduced features.

As long as hardware is not limiting developers are going to focus on new features giving them the edge, when hardware growth slows , performance will become a factor for competition.

Customers are today paying for features, when they for performance industry will also shift.

Electron has enabled a whole host of apps to become possible despite it's obvious performance limitations. I would rather have those poor performing apps rather than just few perfomant native apps.
It's worth remembering that Steve Jobs, like many other tech titans, limited their own children's exposure to the tech they built.

>When the Apple founder called [NY Times reporter] Bilton to complain about a story shortly after the iPad's launch, Bilton asked how his kids were enjoying the wildly popular new product.

"They haven't used it," Jobs responded. "We limit how much technology our kids use at home."

IPA is really needed here. When you wrote LAH I wasn't sure if you meant /lɑ/ or /læ/.

Likewise for "law": is it meant to be /lɑ/ or /lɔ/? It's not clear because the word is pronounced differently in different dialects.

For reference, Wikipedia recommends /ˈlɑtɛx/ and /ˈleɪtɛx/, and the two linked videos use /lə'tɛk/ and /ˈleɪtɛk/ respectively.
A long time. You just have to stay ahead of the Mac as that seems to be what all the heavy electron apps are developed on these days.

I've watched a decent amount of Jobs interviews, and I think you are down-playing the importance of this effect. He was a jerk, but he could spot talent, feverishly go after it, and then allow it to shine by giving it some of the most impactful problems that humanity is facing. Somehow he was able to wield a big company like most people could only handle small companies.

I don't know how many people have this skill, and you first require to have a ton of capital at hand to make use of it, but of the people in the world who have that capital this skill seems rather rare.
I agree.

There are some excellent app developers out there that I don’t mind forking $20 bucks over for a “simple” piece of software such a duplicate file finder on Mac OS X, but with many software offered for free there’s a problem of the tragedy of the commons ( Electron apps are a prime example )

This is so true.

My work is cheaping out on laptops and also the vendor they buy MacBooks from only wants to do off the shelf SKUs and not CTO (Configure To Order). So due to Apple's crazy low base RAM I have a MacBook Pro 2019 with 8GB RAM.

Literally every day I get this panicy popup saying I MUST close something or the system will reboot. Often I get random crashes. The "Memory Pressure" in activity monitor is almost always red.

I don't know how Apple can advocate selling a "Pro" system with only 8GB RAM while making the mandatory upgrade to 16 really expensive and difficult (much longer leadtime on CTO models).

Curb weight of base Tacoma has increased almost 2000 pounds (2700lb to 4400lb) from 1990 to 2021. Length increased >3ft (174" to 212"). The 1990 Tacoma was shorter and lighter than a "modern" sedan.

I like that you have this small visual indicator of vehicle repossession rates. If someone took sat photos and performed vehicle count on lots like this across the country that would be a quite an interesting set of data frames.

If might not matter if a person pays the rent, but people are definitely on the hook with both their lenders and their auto insurance providers.

It has also never been easier to recognize a vehicle marked for repo than it is today. Vigilant's (Motarola) DRN and MVTrac are mature, growing while the cost of new LPR equipment continues to go down.

When it comes to the repo man, It's never been a worse time to be in violation of a car loan or lease.
“The discovery, the researchers said, sheds light on the development of early complex social behaviors in Homo sapiens.”

My takeaway is that this isn’t looking so much for the dividing line between our species and others in terms of traits but more about determining when cultural evolution began to eclipse biological as the primary force driving our species development.
I would like to understand why to be honest. As my sibling pointed out already, reboots aren't necessary, even if you really need to kill all those windows. I haven't rebooted my work laptop in about half a year now for example.

I would also like to understand how you get to that state in the first place. I see colleagues at work with so many tabs they don't know what is what all the time and they spend so much time trying to find the right tab it's unbelievable. They need to show something to us that requires switching between maybe two or three tabs and they always mess it up. Half the time in these meetings is spent on findings tabs and/or scrolling wildly within them.

Personally I have exactly 2 Windows open and I never get to more tabs than where I can still see from the tab title what is what. I also know what's where, meaning Gmail is open in the first tab of the first window, calendar in Tre second, timesheet in the third.

Second window has sprint board and monitors as first and following tabs and is generally used for 'work'. When unneeded work tabs get closed. For example if I review a PR, the tab stays open until I'm done with that PR and then it's closed.

Your situation might be completely different from theirs but your post reminded me of this. Can you explain how you get there and why?
In 2008 there were already signs that Steve was not in good shape and health concern was an issue. He did Liver transplant in 2009, Tim Cook has basically taking over since then. He was barely working half of his time during 2010. By early 2011 he officially went on medical leave. Resigned 6 months later, and I still have that vivid memory he passed away in just days after the iPhone 4s announcement.

Not a normal three years to me.
What's the alternative, though? If the police can't get cooperation from the would-be victim ahead of time, they can only investigate after the crime is committed, which will never be as effective as organizing a sting at the drop point.

Other options I can think of:
- Blanket the city in cameras so you can track the scammer after they collect the money.
- Create and operate honeypot numbers and hope the scammer calls one of them.
- Hope the scammer makes a mistake that allows you to identify them (such as using their own cell phone).
> come to think about it, governments also do this

This was my thought watching the video in the article. It went on and on about supply shortages, China, and the Biden administration’s talks to prevent shortage as well as Chinese competition, and then near the end of the video, two little details slip by so fast you could miss them: auto makers cancelled their own orders, now they want their place in line back, and the biggest chip maker (TSMC) is in Taiwan, but it’s really close to China, so it still counts.

Yes, preventing supply shortages and paying attention to national security are good things. But neither of those would address the specific “shortage” behind this article & video.
