Really? I find this hard to believe, because if this was true, why doesn’t Android have a bunch of unique apps that couldn’t exist on iPhone?

Yes, Android does have some apps that can’t exist on iPhone, but I wouldn’t say that most people find them compelling or care about them. Those that do already have Android.
Maybe you can post a link to a job site where there are 100000x more Python than Pascal/Delphi/Ada jobs. Btw. you can filter the IEEE ranking by jobs which seems to correspond well with what I see on monster or indeed. Anyway, the discussion was about whether the Lua or Pascal style syntax is unfamiliar or not.

I find it reasonable that given the warranty claims, they should be contractually obligated to provide you with the terms they have agreed upon. If they find out with new research and data that given the usage the battery will not last as long as they claimed, then a warranty claim would fall fairly under that use case. Updating the software to to degrade performance/range as an attempt to meet original warranty guidelines feels very much like misleading and unfair practices. Imagine if any appliance you owned did the same thing.

> Sorry you can't keep AC at the temperature you want because doing so will reduce the longevity of this appliance and we can't guarantee it will meet under warranty.

You would find this scenario absolutely unacceptable
A slight diplomatic difference in tactics to achieve the same effect. I'm sure they would've ratcheted up the tactics and eventually sent fighter jets if closing the airspace failed to achieve what they wanted.

Also, by default Finder seems to hide directory structure from you. This seems to be Apple thinking it'll confuse people if they can see 'up' directories, but I think just as often it confuses people like me who are trying and failing to go up.

I use all three major desktop OSes regularly now, and overall Windows just feels like the most user-friendly and straightforward, though of course it too has issues (e.g. various settings/control panel options being randomly split between new style and old style systems).

Oh, and Linux seems to be by far the least stable. I have apps freezing the whole damn computer way more often there than the other two.
People should be able to control the ratio of battery degradation to charging time.

Anyone or their business who depended on the old charging speed for mission-critical functions is screwed.

Yes, the feature that massively reduces friction for paying for things on the web for which Apple collects about 1/200th the fee that they do when you buy in their store.

If you are a web app developer who wants users to pay you, Apple Pay is awesome in that it takes away a lot of friction.

It hasnt deviated from its purpose. You are just free to use it however you want.

And each year you can do much more, you just have to admit you dont understand it first, then you can learn.
What I like is that the System Settings stayed somewhat the same.
What still hurts is the Finder, there is just something missing, file management is painful.
To your point then the real discussion here is money and how we fund higher education here in the United States. Now we see the domino effect of bad social policy.
> In Tesla's case here it sounds even worse, because this was a permanent change and they just said "lol your car is permanently worse now, deal with it."

Although in Tesla's case they have been updating the software to restore capacity and charging speeds in many of these cases.

> I struggled to change settings

Apple's posture is that the defaults are good for most people. Their settings management is second class in all of their products compared to Windows and (especially) Linux and Android.
In the early period of Apple computers, they offered more affordance ("intuitiveness", the user's immediate sense of how to use the tooling) than $competingOS.

This is in part because of the simple WIMP [0] affordance, some humane design choices such as smiling faces and long filenames, and because a few applications were pre-eminent in their categories. Adobe Photoshop, for example. What people did with Apple computers, they knew how to do and what to expect.

The reputation for ease of use persisted for a long time after it became less of a differentiating characteristic. "Reputation" is sometimes perpetuated by marketing, not by a consensus of thoughtful users.

An OS such a ChromeOS can make a claim to "ease of use" by limiting the user's ability to cause damage.

These days and for some time, I use Linux (Debian), Android, ChromeOS, and M-Windows in that order of frequency. Linux gives me all the tools that I want, Android is mobile, ChromeOS is hard-to-break for restricted computing. For M-Windows, the typical driver requirements make it necessary.

Perhaps it has to do with different interpretations of what is meant by best?

If I told you the best Thai place around where I live, I would tell you a place that is best not just because of its food, but also its price, parking, distance to travel. It is the best in that it is the most optimal given my own value judgment of those factors.
Honestly, it's something that you can just "do". I know not everyone has much appetite for speculative, unpaid work, but that's the lowest rung of the ladder you can start. Bug bounties for example... if you go deep into enough into a single category of bug class that you can find a new way to approach it, that's demonstrated security research and can start you off on a track record that makes you employable. Not all security research is low-level stack smashing. I also think there are highly overlooked opportunities in emerging sectors. Off the top of my head, VR is taking off, but it's still so niche. It's an opportunity to go deep into something and make some discoveries that might have meaningful impact. So I guess as a long winded answer to your question, I don't think there's a typical path, because not all security research is academic by default in my opinion.
Unfortunately, that's not my experience.

But I don't think there are people out there happily burning 5% productivity to compensate for poor UI.

Normally people are burning productivity by not learning/knowing what their existing UI provides.

e.g. In windows windows-key+arrow, lets you snap windows to the side of the screen (or minimize, mazimize, shift monitor etc). Now I've absolutely no idea when this feature was introduced - but plenty of people are still reaching for their pointer device to drag stuff about.

It's a nice feature. You don't forget it - but it's bad UX as I swear usage of it only spreads by word-of-mouth.
No idea if MS invented it - or it was 'borrowed' from another OS.
Mac's are not intuitive. But then, neither are Windows machines or Ubuntu machines.

I've yet to use an intuitive machine.

The most intuitive thing is the command line ... but you have to learn so much before you can use your machine from the command line ... its not an investment worth making unless you're a developer.
Was there any up-front communication when this happened? "In order to keep your car's batteries safe, and ensure they have a long life, we're reducing the range a bit". And maybe throw in some free supercharging.

Ask HN: What happened to HVAC and open-air discussions for Covid?
Many months back there were mainstream discussions about HVAC solutions for Covid-19, such as purifying and sanitizing indoor air, or simply getting a lot of air flow through regions to reduce Covid risk. This was probably around fall in preparation for being indoors for the winter, but has anything happened since?

Has there been any significant progress for making indoor spaces safer by treating air? While spring and summer will alleviate some of the risk by having people outdoors more, there are still places like gyms, grocery stores, etc. that are indoors. I'm fully vaccinated, but the particular idea of going back to my weightlifting gym seems slightly risky to me, mostly from the thought of being indoors where people are heavily breathing (I'm not concerned about touching equipment... that can be sanitized and I can wash my hands).

The app install process is a bloody joke. I have installed programs my whole life on probably 5 desktop OS:es and I work full time since 20 years with desktop software installers.

Yet I had to Google several times to just install a single piece of MacOS software.

> PoS blockchains pos1, pos2, pos3 cannot be compared without overtly trusting central authorities to give you the “correct” answer.

I have seen you make this point before on here but I don't see how that is true. Can you elaborate? Don't PoS chains typically choose forks based on how much is staked? Last time we discussed this you never explained what is wrong with that approach.
No car currently has that and there’s no way government safety bodies would just let anyone install whatever they like on their car.
>, knowing that things can't really get any worse.

But also knowing that things can get better. The incentive to do the "right" thing doesn't disappear. It only can't be increased further.

It didn't shift. Google had the same calculus with the same answers. Only Google never had the hardware, so AOSP was a way to make sure Android is everywhere.

That depends on your opinion.

Deleting an app folder on MacOS is no less intuitive than right-clicking an app in windows and choosing Uninstall.

Certainly in most OSs (I think), there is a good chance that more got installed than just a single folder so anyone who isn't exclusively on a Mac is going to think that deleting a folder is asking for trouble.
macOS app installation is broken for about 20 years now. It's not a new thing.

Instead of clicking "next-next-next" as you do on Windows, you have at least 3 competing versions of installing things.

* you have pkg installers (sometimes zipped, sometimes just .pkg files)

* you have those .app bundles that you need to manually move to Application (they are sometimes in a zip and sometimes in a DMG, further complicating things)

* you now also have an app store (that keeps requiring you to enter iCloud password - different from OS password - all the time for some weird reason)

And don't try to even uninstall anything.

* app store apps are uninstalled by ... holding them in Launchpad view, which is never needed anywhere else

* other apps... just are not un-installable, really.
if I recall correctly, Blizzard's updater uses Bittorrent to distribute updates for WoW and other applications. So I'm confused by the fact people still focus on the piracy aspect of Bittorrent when there's been many commercial uses of the platform.
They have a tiny market share worldwide. Apart from the USA not many people in the world own them.
I'm not sure I agree with this at all.

Just to test I donwloaded the .dmg for Chrome.

Like A LOT of .dmg based "installers" there is a Chrome application and a link to /Applications, with a nice obvious "arrow" between them.

I've always found this to be pretty self evident that I must put the Chrome app into the Applications folder.
I'm convinced 90% of my love of the Mac was the customizing I had done to it.
First time I hear about Magic Whatever™. Any modern download tool needs to be embedded into browsers and mobile OSes for it to have any chance these days.

I haven't seen any regular user use a separate download tool or a download manager for a decade or more.

Except for BitTorrent clients, but those aren't targeted at 1:1, of course :-)
No, because all decks have the same order (just rotated).
Interesting, what are the other scientific contributions will make you run and cry?
Are you looking for 'Go', and 'Enclosing Folder'? Or if you navigated to a folder from its parent, you can click the back button, just like a browser, which is probably what most users expect. It's like navigating links.

The money is about showing that there is a market for people who do NOT want what this other user finds appealing. Saying "no" is as important as saying "yes" when it comes to adding features to a platform.
Morales-Shmorales. No-one cares about the games governments play with their private jets. This was an unprecedented attack on public scheduled intra-European passenger service that every regular person may end up using.

This is a whole different category and that's why the whataboutism isn't working this time and the standard "losing moral authority" talking points sound particularly shallow and unconvicing.
I think a broader point is that iPhones will never be the choice of people who want openness, and if the OP had a chance to talk to an Apple engineer, the engineer would probably tell him to use Android because the iPhone isn’t meant for people who need openness, but for those who want to trade freedom for an experience that mostly “just works” as they would say.

Also, Apple knows as much as anyone that terms change over time. Last week the RSA experts were angry that “crypto” now meant “cryptocurrency” instead of the historical “cryptography”.

Great list!

It shows that is important to take soundness of type-systems serious. I like what they did with Scala: they boiled down the language into the fundamental parts and built a language from it that has a sound type-system (machine-checked). This has now finally become Scala 3.

Then why do I have to keep unpinning iTunes? Why does it come back when I remove it?

Why does it only have colorful icons instead of icons+text? I use a bunch of IDEs that visually look the same, but their functionality is wildly different. This is a usability nightmare.
One could also argue fighter jets weren't used at the time because none of the states involved planned for Morales' pilot to identify an issue with his fuel gauge and request permission to land, which has the neat property of being consistent with the hard evidence as well as not involving the whole of Europe's ATC coming up with the clumsiest plot ever to detain someone who wasn't actually there, particularly significant to Europeans or any easier to arrest in Vienna than the originally scheduled stop in the Canary Islands
Mises – A Decentralized Social Network Hiring Software Engineers
#Introduction to Mises#

Mises is a decentralized account storing users' basic personal information and, most importantly, their social relationships in a decentralized way. A Mises Account is 100% owned by the user who created it. Only with users' authorization can users' information and social relationships be used by third parties. No one or organization can ban or delete a user's account in any way. That is guaranteed by the design of the system.

The Internet itself was designed to be open and decentralized. With 30 years of development, core applications, especially social networks and internet search, are monopolized by several major technology companies. They have the ability to block users' accounts, destroy freedom of speech, and determine the dissemination of information. The Mises project is named after Mises, a great economist and thinker of the 20th century, hoping to contribute to people's freedom by building a social network in a way like the Internet itself --- decentralized.

> Well bad news for all gas powered car owners: performance and mileage will degrade over time. Maybe not by a software update (unless you own a specific diesel car) but they will definitely degrade and quite significantly as well.

This is not true, especially the part about "significantly".

The only real mechanism for a loss of performance over time would be if the engine's compression starts to drop as the rings get worn, but this isn't an issue on any modern engine.

Take a car with 10k miles and run it on a dyno. Dyno the same car again at 150k miles and it will probably be within 5%. In fact, performance may even go up as the motor "loosens" up.

This has been my experience.
Ah ok, i have seen some bios's where both are deactivated plus hyper-threading too :)
> while allowing all realistic and sane inputs.

Isn't that a way of saying "while disallowing perfectly valid options"?
I can't find it now, but I saw someone on Twitter point out the slight corrections Fact Check sites have made in response to the lab leak hypothesis. They added a few words to hedge their bets (e.g. "appears to have come from" as opposed to "came from").

Pentagon Papers were released in 1971 and discussed events from 1945-1967. But now everything seems to move so much faster. I remember specifically reading about how practically all scientists were certain that this was not a lab leak, even before they knew anything about the virus. It was the one thing we did know.

It's fine that journalists and scientists get things wrong or change their minds. I object to the faux certainty and politicization, on both sides. I'm sure there will be no apologies or consequences from those that have actively suppressed any discussion on this topic.

It says something that even with a horrific virus that has killed millions, we can't collectively get together and agree that we should probably find out where this thing came from.
I think this is a common view held by experienced computer users, because they don't consider which parts of their own usage patterns are a component of their advanced knowledge, and which are inherent to all users.

For example: an experienced user is more likely to notice that closing a window in macOS backgrounds the app, and more likely to figure out how to fully exit the app process completely (either via Cmd+Q or menu>Quit). Given that, an experienced user is less likely to grow accustomed to all of their apps being in a backgrounded state, and find Finders forced background state unusual/exceptional.

In contrast, an inexperienced computer user will likely leave all apps they use open all the time (possibly not realising they're running) and as such grow more quickly accustomed to having to Option+N for everything (not just Finder).

There's a lot of such examples in macOS.
But there are more-clear warranty rules about battery degradation/lifetime. They optimized for those.
