I would argue an asset bubble is quite a real harm, especially to future generations that are getting into the market at the current inflated valuation levels. But to each their own.
I don't, given that I did my thesis in porting a particle system from NeXTSTEP to Windows in OpenGL back in 1999, and am relatively confortable with Khronos APIs.

The only thing that saves Vulkan is that it isn't as old as OpenGL, with a similar timeframe it will get just as bad, or even worse given its complexity for the average graphics programmer that doesn't hold a master on GPGPU hardware design to understand the nuances of all those extensions.
> So is Amazon

You lost your entire argument right there. Amazon doesn't price gouge, and buys with the express intent to sell with reasonable margins to customers. They provider valuable services, like customer service and fast delivery. Scalpers provide jack shit value other than trying to rip off customers because they got something first, while offering no other value to customers.

> they provide liquidity

No, they don't. They steal liquidity, and sell items at markups while offering no other value to customers. None. Zero.
You do need a fairly recent version of OpenSSH though.
No way anyone cares about visual detail for job interviews.
Yes, I had that thought too. My wife is an artistic, leftist resister type with a background in ballet, dance, and education. She watches the Kardashians, all the Housewives, the Shahs, all that crap. She doesn’t aspire to this either. She buys all her clothes in thrift shops! So it is extremely complex.
I would really like to see some data on how much resale value factors in for purchase decisions in regards to gaming equipment in average.
My experience is that the initial setup with gpg-agent is a massive pain, especially on Windows+WSL2 setups, but once you get it working it's great.

Well, except when gpg-agent dies out of nowhere and you have to restart it..

It's still better security even if it doesn't go quite as smoothly as I'd hope.

A tip to anyone else here who wants to do this: You want gpg-agent, and you absolutely need to use a newer build of OpenSSH than the one that ships with Windows 10 currently. Remove that and go find the official distribution on GitHub or Chcoolatey so you have a version that supports that key type. Then you also need to make sure to set up the environment variable GIT_SSH to point to that version of OpenSSH or else Git for Windows will try to use its own older build and then you will spend a week trying to figure out how to make it work.
I suspect a nonzero amount of hate online is coming from iOS users, who've always seemed to prefer non-customizable, "curated" designs (e.g. historically being anti-widgets, anti-folders, anti-theming, etc) and not from actual Android users who tend to value customization and diverging from the "standard" interface.

Of course, some Android users are going to dislike the new design -- it is a design preference and it's _different_, after all!

I love the new design. There are a few rough edges (like the brightness bar!) but I assume it'll be polished over the multi-year roadmap they've given, or at least through each of the dev previews until the Pixel 6 drops.

Some security keys implement multiple standards, others don't.

A $25 blue Yubikey only supports U2F, which requires at least OpenSSH 8.2 on the host you're connecting to. U2F is the standard used for logging into websites with a security key, and there are many vendors other than yubikey.

A $45 black Yubikey 5 also supports OpenPGP and Smart Card/PIV which can do SSH without server updates (with a bit of software installation on your end).

I think the android back button is a good example. Having that exposed at the OS level creates a smoother navigation experience across applications.
At a previous role many years ago, I was part of the hiring process for someone to replace me. (moving to a new job soon) I had 3 years of Java experience, and 4 years of coding experience in general. So pretty junior role. And we thought it would be easy to get someone.

This one guy we interviewed had 15 years of C# experience. I thought great, he might not know Java, but he can pick it up quickly with that much experience. I was a little concerned that someone this senior was applying for such a junior role, but so far he was much better than any of the other candidates.

Just as a sanity check, I asked him to write something similar to fizzbuzz. It was actually even easier. He couldn't do it. And I thought that maybe he thought I expected him to do it in Java, so I said he can do it in C#, pseudo code or any language he likes.

He couldn't even write a single line of code. I ended the interview right there.

I don't know how deluded this guy was. Or if his CV was made up. Or if he just conned his way into his previous roles. There are countless people like this. It is surprising what you'll find out there.
There's a name for doing that too much, "conversational narcissism". Example from a quick search:

James: I’m thinking about buying a new car.
Rob: Oh yeah? I’m thinking about buying a new car too.
James: Really?
Rob: Yup, I just test drove a Mustang yesterday and it was awesome.

I think if you actually go back to the original topic straight after, it isn't going to bother people much but if you keep talking about your thing and not showing deep understanding of theirs, it can feel like you only heard some keywords and didn't even bother to listen to what they were actually saying.
It’s definitely easier to swap all of them for a simple useElm.

This is a very interesting idea. In general, it's interesting to think about synchronizing computation or memory state of a WASM module. Could you build an operational transform model for WASM memory state, to enable OTP-style process migration for more general WASM programs?
It’s funny you mention that — I just started such a project (three hosting modes: centralized, federated, fully decentralized) as an educational series to teach software development on multiple levels. It’s very early (read: non functional), and I’m still figuring out the best way to teach and build simultaneously, but constant weekly progress is being made.

I don't see that bug on Firefox (version 88, linux amd64). It slides out as I scoll down and stays hidden when I stop scrolling. It only comes back into view when I scroll up.

To answer your questions:

1. Yeah, still not great.
2. No, homescreen widgets now exist in iOS
3. Short answer is "kind of". There's official support for setting default web & email clients, but many (most?) apps support setting a preference for e.g. mapping providers.

All that being said, I think you're coming at things mostly from a feature angle which is perhaps a different discussion.

From a pure aesthetic consistency, polish, and end-to-end visual experience perspective Apple still does a better job than Google.

Whether or not that extra dash of visual polish makes up for feature deficiencies or ecosystem limitations is a broader question of course.

> We don't know if Web would be nearly as successful if it started with WASM instead of JS. The ability to just open a text editor and make a web page has served well in the early days.

And you would be able to do that just fine. All you'd need to do is include the JS compiler (helpfully hosted at http://cdn.google.com/ecmascript-2015.wasm) in the <head> of the HTML file's script tag, open a text editor and type away. Or, you know, include a more sane language like typescript, or python. Heck even lisp if you're so inclined. Or, and this is like totally crazy, but say you need performance, and want tight control over memory layout and allocations, then go for C or rust! Oh and no need to minify your JS. Just ship the WASM precompiled. Save on browser compilation time and network bytes at the same time. So long as you generate WASM that the browser understands use whatever lang makes you happy. Type it right into a text editor and include the compiler in the head of the HTML. Easy peasy.

It's without question that JS has held back web development for decades. Of course, people didn't know any better back then, and really JS was added as almost an afterthought, so we can't really blame them for getting it wrong.

We do know better now though. And still we get WGSL. Looking forward to 2041, when we finally get WGASM. The hottest new thing in web gpu technologies.

I think the bigger conversation is the rising number of displaced people in our society who turn to drugs and crime to cope with life.

Your post made a comeback. People in different timezones feel different and strongly about what you wrote. The discussion is divisive and largely reinforces what we individually already believe. For people experiencing the problems of a new, unregulated cultural force it's just too real, too immediate. The problems of the past were real, but they're not that real to us anymore. Worth pointing at to reinforce our own ideas about today, but not worth equating to today's stuff as a means of settling ourselves down.
This was exactly what I was looking for
The general UI design is far simpler cleaner than iOS. iOS feels very dated. Notification dropdown is a big UI improvement. Navigation is better because of back button unlike the tiny back link in iOS. They did change the time picker which i had issues before because of the scroll picker(my hands are sweaty). These are wrt iPad, which i use mostly for testing iOS apps not a normal day to day use.

Not original commenter, but some examples of Android's superior UI/UX:
- "Back" action is consistent and not in a different spot in each app.
- Notifications are more actionable, organized, and clear.
- Actions tend to be more clear and discoverable. On ios apps you need to try swiping, clicking, holding, and pinching seemingly random elements to "discover" basic actions. I forgot which app, but one of Apples literally starts you on some screens scrolled a little...and you have to guess you can scroll UP to find extra info and options.
- So many extra steps to do anything. E.g. you can turn on/off wifi in quick settings for both, but on Android you can get to your wifi settings by long pressing the quick settings button, but in ios you have to open and navigate through settings.
- Can't arrange app icons as flexibly or have widgets on home screen.
- ios notification panel has like 3 different modes all with different capabilities and purposes depending on how you open it.
- The app settings are ridiculous to navigate in ios. Sometimes they're in app, sometimes in the settings app's app settings pages, and iirc, sometimes in separate settings app pages altogether (e.g. I think permissions or accessibility settings per-app have a whole 'nother place to find them.
- Notification page search bar has really poor, irrelevant results that display above the web results you really want.
- Scrolling on ios is slower and more jittery than Android these days which surprises me.
- Apps look squished and busy with text with ios' UI. Not always clear what's a button, what's swipable, whether you're deeply nested in navigation or at the top, etc.
- ios seems to skip loading indicators and just show empty screens, which is really frustrating.
- Very subjective but ios emojis have a pseudo-realistic creepy vibe and icky feel to me.

Etc, etc, I have more but I'll stop there :-/ I love my MacBook and use ios for a few professional needs, but ios feels almost unusable in comparison as an everyday device to me.
That's true, but it's old enough that you'll probably have it, and I think that's the only way that'll work with this Github feature, since it's U2F support they're adding.
That’s not a great source. Sounds like extreme sampling bias to me. What I’m saying is, you don’t know what it’s like being mediocre at school. I do.

In my experience, being at the top is extremely motivating. It encourages you to put in even more effort. The opposite is also true - when you feel like you’ve given it everything but you’re still in middle of the pack, you get burned out. It’s easy for someone who probably never needed any coaching to tell people “nah it’s just FOMO”. It’s not. As distasteful as the industry is, a small edge means you do better than others at 14, which can motivate you to put in more effort. That effect compounds over time.

> It's one or the other. If you're saying "a false negative is ok" you are implicitly saying "it's totally fine if we fail to hire good developers", and you can't say that then turn around and complain it's too hard to hire good developers.

This is it in a nutshell, good summary.

So many of these companies have built an arbitrary interview process that takes pride in rejecting nearly everyone, regardless of actual skill in building products. So with that criteria, yes, it is hard to hire anyone. Which doesn't mean there aren't tons of perfectly competent people available, it's just that none of them can pass the silly interview because they haven't spent 10,000 hours memorizing leetcode.

Typically someone will say "the bar is high", but that's not at all the case. The bar is in the wrong zip code. Because that kind of interview process measures nothing relevant to job performance. So the best developers, who are busy building successful products, will inevitably fail because who has time to spend on irrelevant interview prep.

Interview for the job based on actual experience and you'll find, like I do, that it's not hard to hire competent people.
How do you model text in your CRDT?
PATs are still superior to SSH keys because 1) PATs allow more fine-grained access control 2) HTTPS is more widely available through firewalls and proxies 3) SSH without certificates is more vulnerable to MITM than HTTPS (with certificates) 4) it's easier to specify different PATs for different remote repos than it is different SSH config aliases for different remote repos. Yet people still prefer SSH because........ ?

And since the SSH private key used in this way is merely a pointer to a security token, it doesn't matter if it gets compromised. This is an interesting way to continue the status quo of not explaining to users how to create SSH keys using the new SSH key format (which prevents password cracking vulnerabilities in the old key format).

Where by constrained you mean it's a crime, right? Obviously you can argue that in this specific instance making it easier for criminals to evade law enforcement is a morally good thing, but cryptocurrency does the same thing for any profitable crime in any country, which is why I see it as such a negative thing overall.

I live here and to anyone who doesn’t know san francisco this might help explain why I am not surprised (and probably anyone living here isn’t as well):

- Everybody wears a mask here. Everyone. Even vaccinated people and children. It’s taken extremely seriously. And I’m not even talking about social distancing. Everything has been closed since the beginning of the virus and indoor dining is merely re-opening.

- san francisco has the largest homeless population I’ve seen in the world (and I’ve traveled and lived in a bit everywhere in the world including many poor countries). On top of that, drug is hitting homeless people hard. It’s extremely common to see someone shooting themselves with a syringe here.

From the look of your gif, it looks like you're just barely scrolling back up for a few pixels between scrolls and the navbar seems to pop up immediately after.

Scrolling up gets it to pop out for me, but I need to scroll up a lot more than you do in order to replicate this (scrolling down normally looks fine on Linux/Chrome). Sounds like it might be possible they haven't noticed it and would appreciate a bug report. :)
I think part of the excitement over real hardware is the potential that clever programmers can find ways to get more out of the hardware than it was designed for as in the real 8-bit era. While I think things like Pico-8 are interesting, there really isn't the possibility for things like new graphics modes that weren't programmed in by its creator the way real hardware can surprise you.
This is what I call the "Perfect World Fallacy". Yes, in a perfect world, you'd be absolutely right. But that's not the reality we're living in – in particular, that's not the reality small and young companies are living in.

When you're scaling up, or when you're short on staff, and there are fires to be put out everywhere, you just don't have the capacity to design and test those perfect processes. Where are they supposed to come from?

I don't think it's possible for these things to be solved at any level lower than the federal, you can apply some band-aids but ultimately you need a stronger social safety net, which the US seems culturally averse to.
1) yes. but I think it's better for it and obviously plenty of others do too including apple

2) no, home screen widgets in iOS have been a feature for a while now

3) no, iOS asks me if I want to open in Apple Maps or Google Maps.

I think you're conflating features and design. Whether or not there's a particular feature (turn of WIFI), is not an attribute of the design. So you can fairly say the iOS feature set was too minimal, but you can't attribute that to UI design
Yup. My home screen wallpaper is just black, because I find anything else distracting when I'm looking for an app. My lockscreen wallpaper is just some artwork I like, which has nothing to do with what I would like as a color palette for the rest of the OS. I hope there's a way to decouple this from the wallpaper and it's just an automatic default that can be changed...
You are absolutely right. SF is just the symptom of a national homeless crisis in the US. As long as the US isn’t willing to help its people, more liberal cities like SF will lay the price.
