This already exists, to some extent. You can see "screen time" data via the settings, which I think tracks what apps are launched and when. So it shouldn't be too difficult for Apple to make this a little more granular (such as specific pages within apps) and to display the data in a chronological fashion, like an audit log.
While I am happy that Notepad++ added a dark mode, I am frustrated that Microsoft forced Notepad++ (and all Windows programs) to add hacky workarounds for a dark mode.

Notepad++ already obeys the Windows system colors, and I have been using it in dark mode by changing Windows colors. Microsoft, presumably to sabotage classical programs and to push modern UWP apps, no longer allows changing system colors. There is a Windows 10 Dark Mode instead, and all it does it notify programs about its configuration, so that they redraw all their colors. A vestige of customizable system colors that remains is the (ugly) High Contrast Mode (activated with Alt+Shift+PrtSc); but if one can put up with its ugliness, it works much better than the Windows 10 Dark Mode, changing the theme for all well-written Windows programs, including all versions of Notepad++.

With the UWP mostly dead, I was hoping that they would start caring about "legacy" programs, but nope. Notepad++, as well as many other programs I use and contribute, saw that Windows was not fixing this and started adding their own patchy dark modes, which often don't work that well. I tested the new Notepad++ dark mode, to see maybe I can start using Dark Mode instead of High Contrast Theme. Unsurprisingly, many places (settings, dropdowns etc.) remain with white backgrounds; it is difficult to change all backgrounds as it was written with obeying system colors in mind, rather than manual theming. High Contrast Theme, however, works perfectly. Presumably those remaining white patches will be fixed as Notepad++ has an active community, but dozens of other old Windows programs I use will probably never bother with explicitly adding a dark theme, so I guess I will have to stick with the High Contrast Mode.
I believe this is the important part "I want without ordering a CD (that I couldn't afford as a kid)"

Spotify makes it cheap to use without ownership - like uber basically - and millions do like that.

I blame the greedy music business that really didn't want to sell singles.

They've been forced to change - partially thanks to amazon and apple - but they embraced the change too late, and instead change was forced upon them.

The music biz could of made a version of limewire where people could pay for songs at a fair price and get top quality.. take advantage of the curation people were doing, and more - but they went to courts to block instead.

There's more than 2 kinds of people.

Some people voted with their wallets for MusicMatch Jukebox 7.1 - then yahoo took it, ruined it, then killed it.

Many people are voting with their wallets to borrow music from a fancy playlist company - that's cool -and I'm glad it exists. I prefer to own music that I can put on different devices myself and access anywhere anytime without an internet connection or worrying that my license key is not valid.

FI android did AirDrop I think the tide would be different. Amazon an excellent buy digital audio options (via computer) - sadly they make it very hard to download and own digital mp3s using the android app -

I get that some of these decisions are based on the whole - push them to the subscription /rent to use model where we win having lots of people who use it little.. but I prefer to download to the computer unzip and plugin a cable to transfer.

So while tech of the yesteryear is fine, some of the 'modern tech' is purposefully handicapping in some ways - and sometimes they are doing so to keep people hooked on drip-to-use-not-own-rent-forever models.

The good is that more people can enjoy more music - so yay spotify. The bad is that I don't think it's as good for the bands, and depending on the magic wifi can leave you high and dry when you need tunes the most - but at least you'll have a few dollars in your pocket :)

That rent and never own economy is good for some things, but it's not for everything for everybody.
Wonder Jason would evaluate Basecamp's own recent meltdown using this metric: a waste of time and attention, or a purge of ongoing distractions at work?
If your company is worth $3.9B why would you sell it? I can dream on how I could make the next-best product, but I don't dream about selling it.

Maybe I'm missing business 101, why would you want to give up some your large diamond to some other company?
It's not meant to be the only solution. Apple should lock things down for service people, certainly. On top of that, audit logs would offer peace of mind. There's no reason they couldn't be presented in a way that is easy to understand for a regular person.
I am aware there isn't, what I'm saying is there should be - particularly for dense datatypes like EEG that we probably aren't fully leveraging at the moment.
“It is believed that Tesla is currently working on a strategy to refund all those who pre-ordered the Model S Plaid+.”

If they need a strategy for that, they either want to move those customers to other (waiting lists for) products because they don’t want to pay back the cash, or they don’t have the cash right now, and are figuring out how to pay the money back as slowly as possible. My guess for current Tesla would be the first.
As long as we don't have free healthcare in the US, yes, you should have to pay for 5% of your house cleaner's health insurance.
Not too busy yet. I will probably cap it at 10 people though.
> What is definitional? Inheritance, encapsulation, methods.

I am probably missing something, but how is inheritance essential for OOP?

In my understanding, inheritance is not necessary. The point of OOP was probably encapsulation. At some time inheritance became popular for "code reuse", until a preference for composition over inheritance developed.

Emphasis on inheritance is what infuriates me about many traditional sources about Java programming etc.. My java textbook says "object model" is major detail and "typing" is a minor detail. I am like, WTF, you cannot understand java object model until you understand type system.
I am sorry you took offense to the comment, it was not meant to be offensive. I never claimed to have any grasp on agriculture science. And I never called anyone a "hick." And of course I am speaking in generalities. Simply observing what I saw growing up. I grew up on a small farm (though I certainly would never call myself a farmer) and grew up with farmers of all types and all income levels. Some chose to be willfully ignorant and not really learn how to run the family business even though that was their end goal and some did. I don't think this was a matter of capacity of the individuals. Some of those that were willfully ignorant were quite well off and some were not quite as well off. Some took a formal route to education, some self studied. It is simple anecdotal observation that some of the more successful farmers I know a). Educated themselves one way or another. b). Those same farmers, for the most part, have started or have already moved away from John Deere. Largely due to the right to repair issues, in part due to the premium cost, but some of the farmers that I have talked to have relayed to me that they feel the quality has dropped, which is perhaps not reality, simply their perception based on frustrations surrounding right to repair. John Deere has also rapidly expanded their product categories and not all of their new products share the same famous reliability as their ag products, which could negatively impact overall perception of the brand.
Who do you think I’d rather go after for malpractice? Someone that went to school for many years dedicated to medicine or the idiot stiffs behind a machine that can’t even spell the word “you”. That is in large part also what it is really about.

Having said that I do ML research on cross-sectional neuroimaging, and basically everything you said is nonsense.

It's very interesting to see this on HN because we're actively working in this space, albeit on building a training platform but the long-term goal is to generate models that can outperform the current ones that require a lot of expert input.

yea. I can understand them suggesting backup your hd before shipping it to repair, because shit happens and they could need to swap your hd. but also suggesting customer to wipe it means even when shit doesn't happen customer still need to deal with the hassle of restore the hd once repair is done.
Touchscreen typing on native keyboards always feels slow to me, but with apps like SwiftKey which remap the boundaries of the virtual keyboard to better match your intended keystrokes I can type significantly faster. Add swiping and completion to that and I'm pretty confident one can easily beat that 23wpm mark
I'm about your level, different skillset (elixir, python, react) but I'd be interested in a knowingly skilled friend to "mentor" my work and vice versa.

I haven't, actually, thanks for the suggestion!
I know there is historical precedent for royals trusting eunuchs with things they can't trust to horny men, but these days I'd be very skeptical of any repair service saying "Don't worry, you can trust us because we're asexual". This is like a priest saying, don't worry you can trust me not to be tempted by anything "sinful" because I'm a priest. Information security is not just about sex. I'd rather trust a computer repair service that passes third party security audits and is verfiably secure. The sexuality of employees is none of my business.
Wouldnt be surprised if Google exec who lead AdX/Doubleclick merger got bigger yearly bonus than this fine.
Both easy and hard. When I've traveled to Europe I often find the the door for non-EU citizens leads to exactly the same place as the one for EU, and nobody is even watching to check passports. India was a lot more careful about verifying my VISA, which I needed to get in advance. India has more reason to fear than the EU in general.
CL being CL, it's important to remember that macroexpansion itself can do anything a real program can. Including writing files, opening network connections, etc.
"As a rule, any mention of religion on an online forum degenerates into a religious argument. Why? Why does this happen with religion and not with Javascript or baking or other topics people talk about on forums?"

Has Paul never actually read HN or any JS discussion online? Or any forum, really?

Case study: my wife, who enjoys spinning wool, watched a (metaphorical) knock-down, drag-out argument about sheep variations on a spinning forum. Just before a user was banned, it had devolved into some very creative swearing and threats to kill sheep in another poster's geographic area.

This strikes me as overthinking the situation. If you like working and it doesn't cause other problems for you, go for it.
On Group Communication Channels
Once this read the mind thing matures, so much of the software will have to be rewritten. Even now sometimes I have to joke around in office "PC is slower than me" because I gave certain commands in sequence and it is still performing them one by one while I wait for computer to catch up. Now imaging this, command directly from brain to the machine. In engineering world, It would increase the productivity by at et least 4x I guess.

Currently to draw a line in AutoCAD, I have to either move the mouse to a "line" button and click it. OR type a command "line" if my hands are on keyboard. Now If I had a direct interface with the machine, just the the thought of "Draw a line" and software is line-drawing mode. Add eye tracking to it, and I simply look at the point on the screen when line shall start and say in my head "here"...... opportuties are endless.

Computer will have difficult time catching up with the amount of commands we are capable of issuing to it. BRING IT ON.

It was 2006, when I did Speec-To-Text data entry of 200+ mobile numbers using good old Windows XP. Progress seems to be have been too slow since than.

Yes, but "hassle" and "security" are synonymous a lot of the time. even if their policy was that they didn't use the boot drive, I'd rather wipe it. No reason to give someone your data, your employers' data, etc.

And as someone who has recently had a MacBook Pro repaired, they swapped virtually everything. Keyboard, Mboard, Touch Bar, etc. the only original thing now is the screen. I would have had to restore from backup anyway. As a plus, my SSD is now brand new so any wear on it after 2.9 years of service is gone :)
While the topics of politics and religion are definitely known stirring up controversy, and that arguments often boil down to ideology and belief making common ground hard to find, I don't think it's healthy to view them as one in the same.

Religion is important to people's identities for different reasons than politics. Religion influences people through philosophy, spiritualism, and salvation. People are opinionated about it because is an intrinsic function of religion to be unwavering.

Politics is different. It's possible to know a great deal about policy, and still hold unwavering ideological commitment to a side because you understand the consequences of policy. Political decisions create dynasties and destroy lives. People's literal survival hinges on the decisions of politicians, and in a Democracy we all have to play a part in what direction the machine goes.

Politics directly affects people day-to-day in a way that Religion never can. The largest problem I see is that people view politics through the lens of self-interest. One group may want lower taxes so that they can better use and save their income, while others may want higher taxes to fund welfare and provide a safety net from extreme poverty. Neither side cares about what the other side has to gain or lose, they only care about their side. So then we end up with nothing but bad faith BS and crappy compromises.

Politics is important. We should work harder to understand where our neighbors are coming from and find solutions that benefit the most people, not just our people. Discussing politics deeply and knocking down social taboos is a good thing, and we should do it more, not less.

Religion, on the other hand, is not so important to debate. We should respect people's individual religious beliefs, but we should also learn to keep our differences to ourselves because our varying religious and spiritual beliefs aren't really up for debate. What I believe or don't believe is of no consequence to anyone but me.

As a middle ground between DIY and leaving it unknown you could also hire a contract lab to do this with you. As an experiment in this, I found a contract lab, ordered PCR primers, and sent in McDonalds burgers and McFish samples to do species identification. (Result: $300 all in, nothing too exciting, Bovine and iirc Alaskan Cod).

The "human sample" bit might be tricky. Doing this today I would check out https://www.scienceexchange.com/

Oh and obviously if you're in the Bay Area go to BioCurious (https://biocurious.org/) or Counter Culture Labs (https://www.counterculturelabs.org/) for all your DIY bio dreams

I am not up to speed on semiconductor manufacturing national security efforts, but it seems like the US is behind in subsidizing renewed semiconductor manufacturing and supply chains on US soil, and time is running out.
If Apple cared about products they would strive for more competition to push them to create better products and not to cement their monopoly. During Jobs's leadership, yea, they innovated with amazing products but they also stepped up patent trolling, anti-competitive practices and hostile takeovers.

Personally, I don not think the profit-motive alone in a monopolistic market can bring about innovation. It is competition that makes it happen...after all, Apple with Jobs needed to compete and innovate during their difficult years to survive. Now, after cementing their monopoly, they just rode out up until iphone 12...it will take another great company to break this pattern of marketing idealization of the next iphone 15

Everywhere else the state just cut off the ability to feed a large population, or a particularly brutal military unit went from town to town.

Germany built trains and factories for the express purpose of turning people into jello and ash

This is the only reason anybody is interested in German politics, a comical off-broadway show just to see if they’re going to turn the ovens back on.

And this is coming from someone that likes Germany and Germans and would avoid some areas. Thats what they did. Their robotic efficiency is still relevant in the industrial way the world went, especially compared to their neighbors. Even the most extremist Germans 100 years ago weren’t inaccurate about that: the cultures around them did not support efficient allocation of resources and making those resources valuable to others. The methodology those extremists chose was not tolerable. Third time is a charm with domination in the form of finances this time. Everyone is skeptical of ongoing German tolerance of the situation.
I Dropped Out of My Coding Boot Camp
IodéOS now runs on Android 11 (LineageOS 18.1)
A few new features:
- One-time Permission Access: allows you to temporarily grant an app access to a permission so long as that app is in the foreground. Once you navigate away from the app, the app loses access to that permission and must request it again.
- Scoped Storage changes: changes the way that apps access the external storage on Android. With Scoped Storage, apps would, by default, only be granted the ability to see their private data directories.
There are many reasons...

1/ You don't see this as giving up your diamond but making it shine bigger and faster. You believe that your $3.9B valuation can grow faster with the help of a larger partner perhaps this is best for you and your investors.

2/ You have been running a company for some time and you are tired of running it or want to get out and "cash out" your hard work.

3/ You don't believe you can maintain a $3.9B valuation under future market conditions or upcoming competition and so you are willing to take the premium now (better for you and investors)

Just to name a few
For me the problem is that they usually don't reach a good maturity level, but the idea in my opinion is very important. To mention the 90s again, you could do in one day an internal app using MS Access. Now if you want it with web interface, you have to think about front-end, back-end, database, devops. It is just too much for when you want a simple thing.
I haven't had an eye exam on over a decade (since my mid 20s). I use my old prescription and order cheap glasses online. The extreme savings and arguably higher utility of this approach had always given me the strong impression that the eyecare industry is fundementally broken and full of rent seeking.
We need digital devices that respect their owners first and foremost. That means the actual owners, not the company that sold it or the government they operate under.
The article is about someone's iphone being repaired - surely you can't netboot a locked iphone?
When they intentionally deceive. When you promise something without intention of delivering.

In case of SpaceX and Tesla they claim outrageous things with every intention to deliver.

Sometimes they are right, sometimes not. It's up to investors to know the difference.
The context of this is the Action Mailer Guide:

https://guides.rubyonrails.org/v4.2.0/action_mailer_basics.h...

Looking at this documentation in context, the point it's attempting to make here is that since mailers are rendering a view, the appropriate place to call them is from the controller (as opposed to the model, I suppose). The documentation has already repeatedly made the point that mailers are like controllers, that they render views, etc.:

> Mailers are very similar to Rails controllers. They also have methods called "actions" and use views to structure the content. Where a controller generates content like HTML to send back to the client, a Mailer creates a message to be delivered via email.

So I would argue that both the OP's suggested change and a lot of the ones in this thread aren't quite right. The reader has already been told that mailers render views. The "corrected" version misses this and tosses out the main point while preserving the repetitive throat-clearing. Within the context of a step-by-step guide, meant to be read in order, a better clarification might be something like this:

> Since Mailers are another way to render a view, it makes sense to call them from the controller. In our example, we will call the UserMailer at the time a user is successfully created.

(Whether this is actually good advice is a separate question.)
Sorry to hear that, I was hoping that my "no such thing as bad publicity" musings were merely crazy what-ifs, not a reflection of your reality.
This kind of demo that has "a little bit of everything" is known as a "vertical slice": https://www.whatgamesare.com/vertical-slice.html
Because modalities like MRI are non-ionizing and therefore not intrinsically harmful, I think it is reasonable to consider a wild extreme: in some future, what if a large group of people underwent imaging every month or every year. It's possible to imagine gaining a very good understanding of which lesions have malignant potential and which ones don't.

The transition period that we are in now - where we are gaining information but not yet sure how to act on all of it - is painful. There are a lot of presumably unnecessary follow-up procedures. But it's possible that at some future point, we'll understand that 0.8mm nodules come and go throughout a lifetime and don't merit any action, whereas {some specific nodule in some specific location} almost always progresses to disease.

Obviously what I'm describing is research, and so I'm not saying that we should treat clinical protocols differently right now. But I think it's not too hard to imagine that we can get to a point where we have a very good idea about which lesions to follow/treat and which lesions to leave be.
