I am not aware of 1.1 or 8.8 ever being forced to block/change DNS. While this does not prove they won't in the future, considering the popularity of the services this suggests US law is on their side.

Additionally, Cloudflare has previously shown commitment to deliver DNS exactly as it receives it with no changes (see archive.me debacle).
MacOS is arguably much more unsafe than iOS, which is a concern of mine as I imagine Apple will eventually answer the question of integrating your health and finance data on MacOS.
There is nothing wrong about any approach: like everything in life, it's a balancing act.

If you want something maintainable in the long run (5-10 years), it's probably not the best idea to start with that approach. But then again, you probably have no idea what direction you should be heading for the next 5-10 years, so it's not a big deal.

I know it's a bit conflicting advice, but that's the point. When you know exactly what you are building (which is seldom the case with web apps), you want to do it right from the get go. When you don't really know, it does not matter since a few years down the line, if successful as a product, you'll be refactoring heavily and probably doing it the right way at that point (iow, full tests come last).
Why limit that to "attractive women"? What about attractive men? "Unattractive" individuals who wear something skimpy causing you to look regardless? Individuals you deem so unattractive or attractive that you can't look away no matter the attire?
Well that, but also things like "Find my", which are a genuinely valuable and cannot function without some sort of account you can access online.

The start menu is a single button, whereas the dock is a large number of icons. Corner aligning the dock would do no good, as any icon other than the one in the corner wouldn't be corner aligned either.

Regardless of how you see the function parity between the two, the corner alignment argument just doesn't hold here.
If they're in the camps, they are already being punished and abused. Might there be some retaliation? Yes, that's possible. But never calling out abusive behavior because then the abuser might escalate their abuse is a great way to encourage abusers.

I think this sparks the discussion about if we are entitled to choose to let our attention be captured in a public area even if, let's say, there is an immediate recompense.

This is subtle, but they’re not advertising the iPad as a replacement for a PC or Mac.

They’re advertising an iPad as a replacement for the things most people use a PC or Mac for.

An iPad is certainly not a viable PC replacement for me, nor most of HN I would guess. But for a lot of “casual users,” who really just surf the web, watch videos, etc, it’s great.

What’s way more interesting is how iPad has become appealing to a lot of “semi-power users,” like photographers and videographers. These are people who, twenty years ago, really needed to be computer savvy to do their work, but didn’t (and still don’t) think of themselves as “computer people.” Or to put that a different way, they “use a computer for work,” but they don’t “work on computers.” That audience has been greatly expanded as iOS devices have lowered the cost and skill barriers to entry making a lot of content creation possible.

For those of us who actually “work on computers,” I don’t see iOS devices ever being a great fit… or at least not any time soon. But for others, an iPad might do everything the user wants from a computer, and maybe do it faster and easier as well. That’s what Apple is advertising.
I'm not suggesting that apps should drop such support instantaneously or gratuitously. Rather, I'm just suggesting that in the normal course of development, as an OS version becomes sufficiently old and has genuine issues that make support non-trivial, and if the upgrade to a newer version is free and automatic (so it's reasonable to expect people to upgrade), an app developer may at some point say "we expect at least this OS version; if you're using an older version, you're welcome to try, but we don't test on those OS versions so we can't offer any support or respond to bug reports from those OS versions".

I absolutely believe that the "you're welcome to try" part of that is important, assuming there's no known issue (which there may sometimes be). Developers also have an upper bound on available support bandwidth. I don't think apps (or websites) should prevent users from even trying, unless there's some specific technical reason (e.g. a known incompatibility that's producing substantial support burden just to triage, or a library or API that simply doesn't exist on the older version). I do think it's reasonable to say "please upgrade and try again, and if you're still experiencing the issue we'll take a look".

Along the same lines, if a user reports an issue to a website where it doesn't function properly in Chrome 12, or Firefox 9, it's entirely reasonable for the site to respond with "please upgrade, we don't support outdated browsers". It's a little more questionable for a site to say that about a version released the previous month, unless the site is a tech demo for bleeding-edge technology. But at no point do I think a site should actually block users attempting to use older browsers; at most, it's reasonable to show a "not supported or tested, might not work" message.
And yet is what they do in my country to “close” piracy sites: ask the national internet providers to block the resolution on that domains. Of course in most situations you can just change the DNS to 1.1.1.1, or if the provider redirects all DNS request to their server just use DNS over HTTPS…
I agree with the sentiment. The only thing I can think of are certain mobile only banking apps. Maybe an SMS messaging app would be useful? Slim pickings from my quick scan of my phone.
Let's say the memory is the actual issue, but it's manifested itself by data being corrupted and triggering undesired behaviour. Unfortunately, the corrupted state has already been written back to persistent storage.

So you swap in the backup storage module and all your problems go away. Until it happens again and corrupts _that_ too.

In my experience it very much depends on the institution.

I did my undergrad at one of the Oxbridge colleges, and it was very clear you could fail if you either weren't clever enough or didn't put in sufficient effort. If you turned up without having completed the work they just sent you straight back home with a black mark that counted against you when you failed the exams and wanted another go. Exam questions basically only awarded 33% of the marks for "bookwork" and the rest required you to demonstrate an actual mastery of the topic.

My grad school was at a Russel group school (the tier just below Oxbridge), and it was clear that the undergrads there could just coast as long as they handed something in. If they turned up to a tutorial without having done the homework there were very few consequences. If you failed the exams there was an automatic retest in the summer. If you could regurgitate your text book you would probably get a 2:1.
There was a study of academic collaboration (measured by co-authored journal publications) showing that collaboration between academics increases as the distances between offices shrinks.

Office is across campus? Office is in the building next door? Office is in the same building, different floor? Office is in the same hallway, but way at the end? Office is right beside? All of these correlate with number of journal articles co-authored!

Wait but less flippantly phrased this was exactly the problem earlier on.

People who wanted to absolve our own abject failure to prepare or deal with the virus started acting like the lab leak theory was a proven fact and thus since it was all chinas fault we could stop quarantining and if only we frothed with nationalistic sanctimony our lives would return to normal.

The problem was three fold. 1) the leak was an especially unproven theory back then with very little evidence either way, i.e just pure speculation. 2) the way it was used to absolve ourselves of being ill prepared, even if it wasn’t speculation there is no excuse for our preparedness 3) it was used for racist propaganda and we don’t need to sound like America is moving to Japanese internment camps 2.0, China edition. It’s not helpful and just gives the CCP propaganda fodder that harms our actual efforts resolving our justified grievances against the Chinese government.

I had the same issue last year. I was at one company for 5 years, pretty much my first real job out of school, and wanted to sell a story of personal growth at the company

I ended up with this: https://henryfjordan.com/resume-2020.pdf

It got me plenty of call backs and a new job within a few months. Looking at it again now, I might remove/shrink the "profile" section and move "skills" down below "experience". The resume is very number heavy, which I think worked well selling me as someone who got stuff done. Under my "Experience" section I put my general responsibilities first and then a list of achievements for my main job that was basically a listing of big projects I worked on. I figured that since I really only had 1 real developer job that I should make sure to communicate what that job was like in addition to my achievements. If I had worked at 3 different places, I think it would have been more of a given that I've run into Agile and Jira and all that, but with 1 job I needed to be more explicit.

I also took a lot of advice from an article that I cannot find now, but it described the 3 audiences to consider when writing your resume: HR/Recruiters, Hiring Managers (your potential boss), and Peers/Interviewers. Each is looking for something different. HR is looking that you match the keyword-bingo and don't have red flags (The profile and skills section are mostly for them). The Hiring Manager cares the most about impact, so sell your achievements to them. Peers are mostly just looking for something to talk about in interviews, so I put a line about a video game I made during a hackathon to serve as a conversation starter in interviews.

I hope this helps!
>> Are you saying that that the probable cause requirement still allows warrants to be granted very easily?

Yes. Probable cause is not a significant burden and can be met with "evidence" that would normally never be admitted. Cops regularly rely on unnamed out-of-court CIs. For telephone call records, the simple fact that a phone number appeared during an investigation is likely enough for a warrant to see which other numbers it has connected to.
I believe the question is why having the app on a Windows machine if the phone is usually nearby.
OR they read the basic rules, regulations, and restrictions about contributing to a Roth IRA and came to a logical conclusion.
Right, which is more reason to move to vertical taskbars instead of filling far too many pixels with useless space. The specification note that 11 won't support vertical taskbars is infuriating as someone with an ultrawide. I don't need 1000s of pixels of unusable taskbar white space. Centering it is smart if I did want to waste all that space, but oof I do not want to waste that much space.
Which is why the upper crust tech workers and the non tech workers have more in common than they think.

So i cant even dream, make predictions or criticise Apple? Everyone in the industry knew where are those OLED screen capacity are going. Everyone knew where 5nm capacity are, everyone knew about the mmWave module or Qualcomm Modem. Battery capacity are known by April and no later than July as they are shipped to Foxconn.

When you are purchasing the top, high end, most expensive component in the industry and buying in tens of millions with rigid supply requirement it doesn't take much to guess it is Apple.

Non-iPhone? Knock-off of AirPod were sold in China before Apple even announced it.

Great. Don't force everyone else to conform to your preferences.
Just got a new mac. It doesn't require it, but

- They ask you to when you buy it

- They ask you to in an email after you buy it

- It prompts you during install

- It prompts you right after you installed

- It prompts you when you try and update the non-operating-system software that came with the computer, and doesn't let you upgrade it if you don't create one.

And probably a whole lot more prompts that I missed.

It also uses dark patterns to imply that you must enter payment information for you account. Took me 15 minutes of googling to figure out how to create one without entering payment information.

So... "no".
Similar to Gravity’s Rainbow and Infinite Jest. I recommend to people to just fight through the first 200 pages and you end up in the flow and things begin to come together.

For the most part, yeah, Condorcet methods aren't that hard. But also consider who you and I are. We're talking on a very niche form where there's an expectation that everyone here can program and do calculus. We are not the average people.

But what I do want to stress is that cardinal systems are _easier_ than condorcet. I actually use approval frequently (it is also extremely natural). One case is how to solve where to eat as a group. It is infinitely scalable and you can just keep adding places as you think of them. If you reach a unanimous decision you stop, if you exhaust the list you take the maximal (baring strong preferences, which makes it kinda score but this works out naturally). I think from this example it should be pretty clear that it is much harder to do this sort of voting using any ranking system (nor is it scalable and is very computationally expensive to add new items).

It is often missed, especially by nerds (I fall in this camp too, I used to prefer Condorcet over cardinal), how important the transparency aspect of the voting system is. Arizona nailed the lid shut for me. If we're looking at it we're really not losing much VSE by using STAR over RP, but we do also gain a lot on every other metric (including spoilage, ease, transparency, and resistance to strategy). VSE isn't the only metric that matters and we shouldn't make large sacrifices in other metrics to gain a minute optimization in it.

> while in an cardinal system an unscored person would have to be counted as having an actual score.

This isn't necessarily true. You can modify cardinal ballots just like you do ordinal (the exact example you gave is not the theoretically perfect ordinal so I'm not sure why you compare to theoretically perfect cardinal). In practice people don't rate every candidate. In ranking you could effectively say that unranked candidates have a minimal score (and you are able to reduce the number of rounds through this, but comes with added complexity).

As to making the scale larger, yes this is correct that an infinitely large scale better encodes information. But there is a balance between that and simplicity. 10 is extremely effective. 5 is more than enough. But even 2 (approve/disapprove) seems to work out pretty well (aka "good enough").

Humans do care about large groups, in the form of nationalism, or their religious or ideological equivalents. Those groups can be very large.

Unfortunately, those almost by definition involve opposition to some other group. It's not just the politicians who see the conflict more in terms of winning over their opposition. The politicians do it because it's popular with their supporters.

Actual advances are hard. Defeating the opposition is much easier, and often more satisfying because it pays off today.

You won't fix that by fixing the politicians, who are just responding to what the people demand. Any politician you convince will be defeated by the next demagogue. Getting the people to stop enjoying the polarization so much seems more doable, if only because they're right around you. You can see them on HN every day.

Whether they can be convinced... honestly, I doubt it. But I think that for those optimists who believe that something can be done, I think they should consider looking around them rather than away to distant politicians and other shadowy figures. The real causes are right here.

I personally consider that much scarier.
