Could it also be possible that it is experiencing well being that causes you to have a higher income?

Like let’s say I have a great marriage, good well behaved kids, lots of close friends, so I have maybe a network of people I can turn to, I have people to help me when I need emotional support etc, and having these things not only allows me to experience well being but then makes it easier to get and keep higher paying jobs?

To be fair I think it just goes both ways, but I really hope people don’t think more income is a magic solution for peoples’ problems leading to their happiness. I think the hard work it might take for a low income earner to get a higher income, is part of what also increases their well being.

(Take everything I say with a grain of salt because I haven’t had money problems for almost my entire life)

I've used Macs since 1988, and had no idea this hidden feature existed!

UI features don't just need to work well, they also need to be discoverable, or they might as well not exist. The old school Apple was good at that stuff. Recent decades, not so much.

PS Thanks for teaching me this trick!
Wow, spacebar? I've been using a mac on and off since 2004 and I never knew that. Talk about hidden, undiscoverable UI elements.
This logic is why so many Web sites today won't let you use a plus sign in email addresses, which ruins a really nice Gmail feature.

If it is true that iOS’s permission model is done on the App Store level and not the OS level, which I doubt by the way, then that is a flaw on Apple’s part and should be fixed.
Otherwise we are relying on arbitrary App Store rules to protect our privacy and security, instead of baked in constructs in the OS. I’m skeptical that Apple would do something so shortsighted.
The graphs are only as good as the data they are made from and there has been widespread manipulation (both political and just due to inept data collection) of the data. Just look at Florida firing one of their data scientists due to whistleblowing about bad numbers[1].

Also anecdotally, having lived in NYC through COVID, can confidently state that without the city going on lockdown (and it was by all means a strict lockdown), hundreds of thousands would have died.

Hi, author here. I'm so happy to see this appear on HN front page! I almost didn't post this on HN as I wasn't sure if there would be interest towards a site like this. I spent so many hours tinkering with the UI and crafting questions that I'm happy to see that people are finding value in it :)
Finding an old car body is probably the least complex part of this though. There are thousands of decent bodies with junk motors in every state in the US. The barrier is batteries. Batteries are monumentally expensive, especially if you aren't buying them used from scrap vehicles.

”git clean” sort-of works like this. It errors out unless you explicitly specify if it’s a real run or dry run.
That's great. That way it can cater to both those who are looking to get a certification and those who just want to apply the skills (like myself). Another thought: would you be open to converting the content from HTML-in-JSON to markdown (one file per card, perhaps?). I wanted to fork your repo and create cards for various different skills, but the format kind of put me off.
Yes. I am making an analogy; of course apps are produced by businesses. And, no, it wouldn't be a literal strike, but there are many parallels.

The first parallel is that if one developer quits Apple, Apple won't even notice, but if enough do take the same action en masse, they have real power.

The second parallel is that if the the developers (not individual workers) want to seize this power, could form a consortium (analogous, but not equal to, a union). This consortium would pay into a collective fund via dues (not random donations). Yes, this costs part of the business' income, just as union dues cost part of workers' wages.

When they collectively decide to wield their power and attempt to force changes upon Apple, they could then use the savings to bridge the chasm of no income while negotiations proceed. They could also use the fund to support alternative platform development so the consortium members would be better able to sustain any 'strike' by having alternate platform revenue streams.

Apple is very much in the position of an exploitative employer. Apple and the employer both own key elements of the means of production, but are pretty much nowhere without the developers or the workers. Until developers band together to take some kind of collective action like this, Apple will continue to exploit them and extract every last possible fee. You might say "Apple will go too far and no one will develop for them", but at the point where they start losing developers, they just reduce the fees by a marginal amount.

It really is a no-win game for developers until they work together. (And when they do, it'll also be a bit the reverse if they go too far.).

EDIT: The alternative route is for most of them to suffer and hope one developer can spend the funds to take Apple to court and force changes that way, which is what is now happening, but that may also apply only country-by-country.
Of course we are trying to promote our business, writing some case studies is one way to do it.

But I shared this here not because I thought we will get clients from HN (probably we will be getting some competition instead) but because I thought it's an interesting application of technology that people would enjoy reading about.

Maybe we don't see things the same way but even learning about the manual process of counting pearls was interesting for me.
Totally. I only did factory work as summer jobs and loved it because it was fun to learn a new domain and try to optimize things. But yeah, I would have been deathly bored eventually.

Interestingly, Toyota's factory culture is very different. It's part of company philosophy to seek continuous improvement. They're also big on cross-training and investing in staff. Basically, they respect that hands come with brains, and that it's worth engaging both. I suspect I would have enjoyed that much more. If you're curious, the This American Life show on NUMMI gets at the contrast between the two approaches.
You have to customise MacOS to show full file paths and hidden files. Someone at Apple decided that users couldn't be trusted with that super-secret information, but anyone who reads HN is going to find that frustrating.

I go back to Windows occasionally and I still hate every single thing about it. The tiles, the file system, the telemetry, the intrusive updates that guarantee I'll have to wait for an undefined time before I can get some work done, the driver lottery (still...) And many more.

MacOS is more of a workable OS with some really stupid warts. They should have been fixed years ago, but they probably won't be, ever.

Finder is particularly bad, and has needed a complete overhaul for at least a decade.

But Apple's other apps are heading in an MS-ish direction - which is more controlling and constraining, and less intuitive and transparent. It really shouldn't be as hard as it is to export photos from Photos, and the screen grabber should just allow saving to any file location instead of getting in the way with some random-ish defaults, one of which can be customised, if only you remember you need to.

This all reeks of second-rate middle management - untalented PMs trying to justify their existence with poorly-designed updates while more serious issues go unaddressed.

Apple are a weird company. When they're in the zone they can hit it out of the park, like with the M1. But - ironically - desktop UI design is not the model it could be. If MacOS 11 ever happens (not holding my breath...) it would be just as likely to be a step backwards as forwards.

>Windows makes it pretty easy with the one "add or remove programs" section of the control panel.

Except there's no guarantee that uninstallers will remove all ancillary files on Windows either, especially because Windows developers seem to have a habit of just spraying configuration files and serialized state all across the filesystem haphazardly with little concern for organization.
I used Macs exclusively from MacOS 7 up until about 3 years ago. And I will always stand by Macs were easier to use, more consistent and more intuitive before OSX. Yes, the OS was archaic architecturally and it was downright primitive in many ways. But the UX was far superior.

Finder is bizarre in that it hasn't really changed much at all in 20+ years.

The Declaration of Independence made the claim that certain rights were inalienable. The US Constitution was much less exciting and largely just laid out how the government would function.

"We the People of the United States, in order to form a more perfect union, establish justice, insure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare, and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America."

The Bill of Rights wasn't even part of the original constitution. The constitution was ratified in 1788, and the Bill of Rights was ratified in the form of amendments 1 through 10 in 1791.

I don’t get it. I’m mostly very skeptical of the claim of making a positive fingerprint ID through a picture. Has anyone ever heard of this before? Fingerprints are known to be very unreliable and subjective. I’m not convinced this is actually what happened, and not just a cute story pushed by the British law enforcement.

Edit: I did find a couple articles talking about technique of lifting prints from photographs, so I guess it’s a thing? Enough confidence for them to track him down, and win a guilty plea.
That's the same with anything. How many endeavors have you thought "I'd love to do that but what if I got hurt in the process?" Relationships, startups, new jobs, everything contains a risk.

If it seems interesting, just do it. You'll thank yourself after you get over that fear. (Also buy a helmet and learn how to fall[1], you'll need it. Pads may be overkill but couldn't hurt.)

To be fair, it all makes sense if you a) adopt the view that an application is just a file like any other, and b) remember the pre-network days: to install a program, you insert a disk, and then just pull (=copy) the program from the disk to where you keep your applications.

And with the internet and downloads, the process has not changed much except that the disk is replaced by a disk image.

With that mental image, the process seems straightforward enough. And the App store, of course, enables one-click installation as on smartphones.

So, I guess the impediments are that people don't know how to deal with disks and disk images, and the idea that one ought to "install" software, rather than just copying to where one wants it.
Well, I feel like it's important to point out that people can still fly direct from $nation to Europe despite the ban.
Which is funny because Lua got it’s 1-base from FORTRAN which, I believe, adopted it to make TRANslating math FORmulas easier.
I'm not talking about the Lua C API, but things as simple as this:

> stuff = {"one", "two", "three"}
> stuff[1]
one

These native Lua structures are baked in, and they're a lot more flexible than FFI structures - presumably if you're using Lua, it's because you want to take advantage of that flexibility and those affordances. FWIW I've written a lot of LuaJIT, and usually I kept the lower-level FFI stuff separate from the higher-level code using Lua data structures, so I rarely encountered that discrepancy between them, but still something to keep in mind.
Until then, profit is profit.

The reference to Apple’s docs is about the tracking mechanism which you wrongly claimed worked like location tracking.

It doesn’t, and you can check this in Apple’s docs.

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

Here's a question though: What are you right-clicking in Windows that gives you an uninstall option? Windows is so complicated that most of the time it's not even the app itself. You certainly won't get an Uninstall option right-clicking the executable in Program Files, you have to find a magic shortcut somewhere that is keyed up in the registry with the relevant uninstaller package.

Keyboard shortcuts are the absolute worst for discoverability.
"Fruit of the poisonous tree assumes that the real way they identified the target was through illegal means."

But bear in mind that typically we read "illegal means" as some sort of deliberate violation of the law, whereas in the US it's more like there's a relatively carefully defined set of "legal means". There are a number of sources of inadmissible evidence that a common, normal person would probably consider perfectly moral to introduce as trial evidence, but is denied in the US. (At least, officially. Of course things can be cheated. I'm talking about the nominal system here, not the real one.) "Illegal means" means less in this context than it might normally.
> You come off as making an ad hominem attack, saying that this information is trivial and if the replier can’t find it then they shouldn’t be commenting on the subject.

It’s not an ad hominem. The commenter made a false assertion about how the mechanism works, which is easily checked.

I’ve pointed to where they can check it. The App Store rules, and apples tech docs. There are also other articles with background.

That’s exactly what many of the App Store rules are for.

They don’t rely on the App Store rules ‘instead’. They rely on them in conjunction.

It’s not as easy as you think to rely on baked in constructs in the OS.

A trivial example is that such constructs cannot detect text that lies to the user about why a permission is granted.

Another example is that such constructs can’t prevent an app from communicating with a fingerprinting service or using a

These have to be done by policy.

Not really sure what to make of this comment, since you don’t present an accurate model of what Apple is actually ‘doing’.

In a rational world, the takeaway would be that western countries were unprepared for a pandemic. If the whole world reacted like East Asia, coronavirus would have been last year's niche issue.

Even if it does turn out to have come from a lab leak, diseases like this come from natural reservoirs every decade or so. We need to take public health and government preparedness more seriously, otherwise no matter what, we will be in this situation again, sooner rather than later.

Like that infamous no politics policy of 2016? That seems to get brought up every few months. It's worth mentioning changes to HN are very slow, and by design. Some changes are too fundamental to HN, which dang refers to as, "fucking with the firmware".

> One of Amazon’s leadership principles used to be “vocally self critical” but now it has been removed.

I'm honestly not sure how this is related.

Anyway, I do think a lot of HN and ycombinator discussions happen but you end up having to be at the right place at the right time. By browsing other users comments I've discovered there's a lot of interesting threads I miss, which I was previously unaware of. Sometimes they don't spend that much time on the front page, or live on for days in /active.
Just to follow up on that, replacement arrived, ~this one identifies as 'USB Microphone'. Seems otherwise~ [edit: I mis-remembered which way around it was, they're both 'USB Microphone' on macOS, and both 'Blue Snowball' on Linux] identical, I think my assumption is still that both products are manufactured (genuinely) by the same factory, and the design even perhaps farmed out so they really are identical on the inside, but either way just flashed with the wrong ID.

Both of these two are identical inside too, same board revision even. (And not every penny pinched like you would if you were faking - gloss black solder mask, as well as on a second PCB whose only job is keeping wires tidy and displaying a silk screened revision number.)

[edit: Further to edit above, it's actually 'C-Media Electronics, Inc. Blue Snowball', and the main chip is this one: https://www.cmedia.com.tw/applications/microphone/CM6327A so presumably both microphones use it and the same assembly house (whether the same design or not) and the EEPROMs' manufacturer/product strings are either getting mixed up or all Blue, whether by mistake or assembler realised they could get paid double to flash once.]
If your point is that one can implement a Haskell like language in any turing complete programming language then sure, you are correct. GP's point however was that Haskell is purposefully designed to be written and thought about this way from the ground up. Ie. putStrLn "hello" is not a command that is executed verbatim when the runtime gets to its source position. It's an IO action and an IO action is just a value that can be passed around or, by virtue of IO being a Functor, mapped over, etc...

If you say that purity and referential transparency are not only reserved for Haskell then again technically sure, but the point of Haskell is that it makes these concepts the centre of its design. Instead of having to jump through hoops to write code where you can do the above you have to jump through hoops to do the opposite.
Agreed on the defaults, if you want to improve this there are a few related options to be aware of:

1) Edit the toolbar and add "Path" dropdown

2) View menu -> Show path bar

3) Cmd + up/down arrows to navigate up and down the path hierarchy

But of course, when talking about how intuitive Macs are, having all that hidden by default doesn't exactly make it easy to understand where you are in the filesystem. It feels a bit like the Mac side of their desire to just not have a user visible filesystem on the iPad, which thankfully they've given up on it because shooting documents back and forth between apps via Share buttons was terrible.

There are several things that are weird enough not to be taken as absolute logical premises. I mean they certainly can and have worked for many people in many companies, but let's just think a little more about them, especially in an industry of R&D knowledge workers. Going from "IC" to a non-practicing manager (like the article describes and even recommends) is in many ways a lateral move: you are not going to use your preciously acquired past skills and expertise a lot, and you are actually going to do quite a different job. The only thing that will help you in said new job is your general knowledge about the industry, maybe the subfield, and maybe some of your memories about your past job. This should not be a very common "promotion" path (and maybe in many contexts this should not even be considered a promotion, more changing profession), this actually already is necessarily pretty "rare"; unless you are "managing" just one or two people (and even then), or people that just come and go quickly, it is doubtful it is actually so common, because even with a very large growth of the industry, this would require just not a sustainable overall exponential growth rate for it to be the most common career change.

As for "creating an environment where others can solve the problem", support staff would often be more valuable.

Last, we can also consider big successful community projects as more up-to-date examples of more modern organizations. Is Linus a "hands-off manager"? Certainly not, even if he mainly does not do exactly the same thing as when he started Linux; also when he intervenes and gives strong opinions on very technical subjects (even often down to quite detailed ones), is it some form of counter-productive "micromanagement"? In my opinion: also not.

If your main subject is mostly R&D, technical leadership should be more important than "old-school" management (and to be clear, the same caveats apply about the possibility for tons of people to really become technical leaders, it is not possible everywhere just because of mere growth reasons). I doubt the described traditional hierarchical organizations are the most effective in this context.
