So design is how it looks, not how it works…

Disappointing from someone the caliber of Jony Ive.
Yes, considerably.
I'm not arguing that, it's a bigger debate. But claiming that the UK exists as it does because of a long commitment to freedom (when the colonies are a big example of the antithesis of freedom) is dishonest.
Odd, it appears to be create by a London-based company: https://www.pickupinfinity.com/about-us/
The corollary to that is, of course, that any technology which is distinguishable from magic is insufficiently advanced

How about we blame the company regardless of the technology used? The result is the same.

1. wifi has to be perfect, don't care about BT at all

2. Linux support

3. keyboard needs to be usable. ThinkPad is good, Dell is meh, HP is horrible

4. Noise. And no coil whine. I never even thought about this before my Dell.

5. No headphone jack would be an instant no. I guess I could live with a dongle for USB.

6. battery should not be completely bad. But unless it would be something for travel, not so important

7. I hate all trackpads (incl. Mac), so I prefer ThinkPads anyway
Concerns about liability is why platforms like Youtube are blocking stuff, they're trying to self-police before the government hits them with a big liability hammer.

So I'm not sure really what you're trying to say. You seem to be against safe harbour and laws that make them not liable. You argue that they should 'become liable at scale'. However you seem to be against their attempts to block content such regulations are likely to make them liable for.

Yes of course, I know perfectly well this is an inappropriate example. None of us want it to have been blocked. Probably nobody at Youtube actually wants to block it either, they're just applying their rules inappropriately. In fact it looks like it's already unblocked. But who gets to write the rules and objectively define what is or isn't appropriate?

If you want regulation and liability, edge cases like this are absolutely going to happen and we're going to have to find ways to manage that.
Dating Apps Were ‘Getting Old.’ Why Not Try Something Older?
I always found it amusing going from Grunt (unwieldly huge object based config) to Gulp (config is code, pipe transformations together in a simple unix'y way) to being told webpack is the future (huge unwieldly config objects again). Definitely felt like a step backwards although I appreciate the power webpacks gives to people building boilerplates like Create-react-app. I rarely use Gulp anymore but I still appreciate it's UX/DX.
I am a huge Syncthing fan. I even recommend it to non-techie friends, and (after a bit of initial hesitance from having to learn the concepts) they are quite fond of it too, especially as a smartphone backup solution.

It's especially useful for our band, where we share large amounts of .wav files and recording projects and so on. It even works in the rehearsal room (which has no internet) through an old wifi router I set up there, that each of our laptops connects to.

Treblle allows you to test API requests with one click. Because Treblle knows what data was sent and what was returned it can replicate any call that the user has made and quickly allow you to re-run specific requests. Treblle also provides you with a way of running manual tests from our platform.

It also has an auto-generated documentation feature. Treblle can generate the required documentation for each endpoint just after 1 API call. It understands your JSON responses, can detect various authentication methods, group variable URLs in a single endpoint, support different documentation versions, and similar.

> I would never expect, at first, numbers[0] to print 999 after these statements, etc.

You are not alone! I've always disagreed with the idea that imperative programming is "more intuitive", more familiar to many perhaps. In a functional programming language, modifications to lists/collections result in new copies (with maximal sharing) and do not mutate the original. Such "persistent" collections have to be designed and implemented to make these operations cheap. Copying an array is typically not cheap and so Python just creates a new reference (pointer) for my_numbers.
It's impossible to know. You would need to be able to predict how that country would have evolved over the last number of years without British involvement. Comparing it now to how it was when it was colonised by the British is pointless.
Somehow it is strange that Ive is very much inspirated by Dieter Rams but didn't get the clue that design is something different than art. Or maybe art is where his heart is really at. If that is the case I can understand this website.

A point to add though that highlights the issue is that for many many years prior, Google had gotten users used to the ideal that search results were fair and not influenced by payments under the table though. The injustice is turning a free and fair situation into one of deception and payola that will likely get much worse because rising consumer cost is the end result.

You machine has BMI2. It's not SIMD, but it handles 8 bytes at a time, and very suitable for packing and unpacking these bits in this case.

> I'm just saying that ultimately, the legislator makes the laws...

Almost always when this debate is had, it's in the context of the US, where the First Amendment is a _hard_ stop against this sort of thing, but otherwise suggesting that the government have the final say over whatever you are allowed to say isn't historically a very popular suggestion.

Of course, in other jurisdictions, they can pass whatever laws they want, and platforms can choose to comply, comply only locally, withdraw, or pay whatever fines to keep going as they are.
Jony Ive’s site can just display a single poop emoji and he could probably still get away with it.

They are precisely the best of reasons why people should be stripped of such dangerous things. We don't let average people fly airplanes, neither should we let average people shoot firearms.

> Or is it for "other" types of protests?

There was a BLM protest that pulled down a statue of a slave trader in Bristol. Honestly, pretty much every elected politician would have been OK with that. But then there was another protest in London where some critical graffiti was sprayed on a statue of Winston Churchill. Despite his faults, Churchill is an extremely popular figure; no elected politician would support statues of him being damaged or removed.

So a bill to stop protests damaging statues seemed like a good idea to them.

From the perspective of civil servants and the police, if you offer them more power of course they'll say yes. Who wouldn't want more power, after all?

But getting the bill through the bureaucracy took time, and by the time it was ready the most recent protest-policing news was a police crack-down on a candle-lit vigil for a woman who'd been raped and murdered just days before... by a policeman.
Not an artist but I made a project which purpose was to show maps (OSM, Google) on 1bit displays (low resolution eInk) and of course needed the impression of more than 2 colors to show shading and certain details. I wouldn't call it "dither punk" and am not sure if that's even what you are looking for.
Probably not an exaggeration. My build times aren't that long, but I've seen similar speedups in switching the esbuild (our smaller codebases currently build in less than 0.1 of a second with esbuild)
> My own hope is that the large and growing global group of technocrats and related ideologies will incorporate some understanding of decentralized technologies and a general appreciation for the robustness of networks.

Everyone has an appreciation for robust networks, I don't really see how that relates. Facebook, Instagram and Whatsapp all went down for several hours the other day and almost everyone on Earth knew about it and was impacted in some way, even indirectly.

> The thing about decentralization technologies that people don't realize is that they are actually are best approach for creating global holistic systems, but in a scalable, fair, and evolvable way.

On paper. In practice, there are still ways to control such systems as we've seen with Etherium, and there are other issues that come into play - such as massive electrical requirements, and the fact that if the system were to fail catastrophically (in the case where we rely on it entirely), we're left with nothing.

> Using distributed technological solutions, it should be possible have comprehensive accounting and planning without an actual centralized point of failure and authoritarianism. For example, one or more peer-based databases aggregating global resource use data would provide powerful and relatively objective insights for planners.

So many words to say "decentralized currencies exist". This doesn't really say anything.

> I think rather than eliminating money, we need to upgrade it to be a high tech systems that integrates more information.

Ah yes, more information. Let's track everyone's purchases down to the very cent and publicly broadcast them on a ledger, force everyone to use it, and then reap the rewards when someone is able to control it.
Most people will perform best when motivated, inspired, and pushed by someone. Imo Ive's best work was under Jobs.

It's similar to programmers working at a successful company, who have trouble to produce the same quality and pace without a 'manager'

I just bought a laptop for the first time in 10 years or so and I've spent quite some time and effort looking for it (bought 4 laptops, sent them all back and bought a 5th one).

My priorities were

- best keyboard possible - good layout you can get used to (ANSI vs ISO, dedicated pgup, pgdn, home end keys not too far from each other and arrow keys), good tactile feedback

- case stability

- good touchpad. I prefer physical buttons instead of or at least next to clickpads which is getting increasingly difficult to find

- decent cpu perf, measure what's important for you (turns out for my use case AMD 5800U's 8 cores didn't make a difference compared to Tiger lake for my work)

- upgradeable RAM or at least 32GB soldered

- OK screen (350+ nits, reasonably color accurate, preferably matte)

- battery life 6h+ on wifi

- thermals and noise - does the fan make high pitched noise, how often does it kick in, is the case/keyboard warm

- no nose webcam

- USB-A AND USB-C ports (+placement: both on both sides), ideally also HDMI, headphone jack, thunderbolt

- fingerprint reader/Hello, hardware TPM2.0

- 3 year warranty, on site service

- after all this also portability

I tried HP Zbook power, HP Firefly 14, HP Elitebook 840, Thinkpad X1 Carbon, Thinkpad P14s and Schenker Vision 14 and settled for the 840. The Carbon is also a nice machine, the P14s is massive while not bringing any major benefits, the Schenker had some built quality issues but otherwise looks great.

I've found HP's keyboard just so much nicer to write on - there is such a crystal clear pressure point: it's either pressed or not pressed, on a TP you can get into an in between state. Plus the layout on 840 and Firefly 14 (column on the right with home, pgup, pgdn and end) is the best IMHO.

In the end you will have to settle with what's in stock anyway as lots of configurations have insane delivery times 3+ months.

EDIT: here are my notes, perhaps someone will find them useful

zephyrus m16 - keyboard without pgup, creaking, hot air on display? battery life ~4h

ideapad 5 pro - overheating? keyboard without pgup, shitty touchpad

legion 5 - terrible design, bad touchpad, amd version has shitty realtek wifi

thinkbook p16- no hdmi, bad battery life?

inspiron 16 plus - crap touchpad, throttling

aero 17 - nose cam

zbook - touchpad? runs hot

thinkpad p1/extreme - weird cpu heatsink issue, creaking

dells - power button in corner, xps-no usba,

envy and spectre - fingerprint reader instead of ctrl, gloss

ThinkPad X1 Carbon G9 - ok, 16:10, throttling, typing/touchpad lag?, shitty support?, non-touch has 4-5 weeks lead time
It sort of has happened for Apple users.

For all sites whenever you signup for a website a random password is generated. And then when you re-visit the site you use FaceID/TouchID to automatically pre-populate the password. At that point it really isn't a password in the traditional sense.

And for an increasing number of sites it bypasses this step entirely and just lets me use FaceID/TouchID.

Vite uses esbuild I think. But the concepts are different.
The median user's password is guessable, reused across dozens of sites, and likely to be on multiple data dump lists.
Vite uses Esbuild for development builds, and they have an answer for why they don't use it for prod builds here https://vitejs.dev/guide/why.html#why-not-bundle-with-esbuil...
Exactly. The fact that no one here has to ask "Who is Jony Ive" says it all
I ran a little code on this comment:

7 sentences, 7 occurrences of "Hetzner". It really does read like a CEO-optimized advertisement.
> Why do they need more powers when they don't use the current ones?

Is this a serious question? To make their job easier, always. It's a lot easier to do what you want when you don't have little things like the law or people's rights standing in the way.
As a side note, to those interested in learning more about John Dee and occultism in the Renaissance I would like to recommend Frances Yates' "The Occult Philosophy in the Elizabethan Age".

Yates is a very serious scholar in a field that is often marked by not so rigorous "believer" types.

The book itself covers Dee in detail, as well as the general intellectual environment at a time when modern science was just starting to catch shape.

After working in a cafe that had to move customers on because it was consistently busy I wondered why places like this don’t exist.

In commercial areas there are a large number of people who want a casual space with a nice ambience to have a meeting. They don’t care how much it costs because either their employer is covering it or a positive outcome of the meeting will make the expense of the table insignificant in the broader picture.
And then Billy's and Shelly's actually make terrible steaks with all kinds of hidden costs and cheap side dishes because they cut corners in order to make up for the loss on their annual advertising spend.... Google helping business... Yeah. :L
Actually that Wikipedia page lists the history of standards:

"The ANSI standard attempted to address these problems by making a command set that all terminals would use and requiring all numeric information to be transmitted as ASCII numbers. The first standard in the series was ECMA-48, adopted in 1976. It was a continuation of a series of character coding standards, the first one being ECMA-6 from 1965, a 7-bit standard from which ISO 646 originates. The name "ANSI escape sequence" dates from 1979 when ANSI adopted ANSI X3.64. The ANSI X3L2 committee collaborated with the ECMA committee TC 1 to produce nearly identical standards. These two standards were merged into an international standard, ISO 6429. In 1994, ANSI withdrew its standard in favor of the international standard."

So ANSI X3.64 was the original, but things has since converged and it has been superseded by the ECMA/ISO one.

The document that many people use is probably the Xterm ctlseqs page, which is just the same as the ECMA codes with additional notes, extensions, etc. So I suppose that's the de-facto standard now.
It’s Ive, right? He could definitely follow up on that statement — I don’t think he needs a lot more money.
5 if you include grunt.

6 if you include bash/make for using manual scripts to productionize your yui / jqueryUi / mooTools code with uglify/browserify/gcc/etc
That was an incredibly misleading article. If you check the links, you find the following:

1. P&G didn't turn off that spend, it shifted it to other marketing platforms.

2. Chase didn't change its marketing spend, it just concentrated it from 400k sites to 5k sites.

3. Uber found out that their agency was committing fraud and AFAIK the case is still being litigated.

I hate being that guy, but check the links. Those reporters really must have an agenda or something (or are just struggling to get the clicks, so they need to make a story out of nothing).

Typing lag...that reminds me of something I saw in the 90's. Someone was trying to figure out a production problem and asked for help. I sat down at their computer, and was trying to use their terminal shell window (HP/UX). It was terribly laggy, worse than I'd ever seen before. I asked if it was OK to exit and open a new window and they said OK. So I typed exit to close the telnet connection, then exit again to exit the terminal...but it didn't go away. So I typed exit again. and got another shell prompt. At that point I realized that they had been hopping from machine to machine without exiting. It turned out that the lag was from 22 nested telnet commands!

Part of the problem is too many databases have been compromised. If a scammer calls up and knows all the victim's details, the scammer is much more convincing and the victim is much more likely to be fooled.

As for why the UK is a hot spot, I could guess it's to do with the phone system? I get loads of spam calls, but I have no way to find out what company or person the caller phone numbers are used by.
Thanks to both of you. It took me a while to realize the depth built in. I tried making a pinball game many moons ago but couldn't get the ball to "feel" right (flippers as well).

How was that process? Did you go play physical tables, go for a realistic approach, or tweak magic numbers until it "felt right"?
I just asked around (~100 people) and nobody I know has unlimited mobile data here in the UK. As you can get 120gb/month for £20 and unlimited for £40 on a 12 month sim only contract, I think not many people using more than 120GB/month so no good reason to pay double for it.

As anecdata, I cut my package back to 5GB at the start of the first lockdown as my mobil data usage went to nearly 0 since wifi at home and did not run out of data during the last year. I assume anybody who was able to do that done the same.

From my heard usage of the term it usually describes a person that has deep understanding of a lot of things and hence can do almost anything with it.

Often x10devs and INTJs as one might guess.
> Maybe all payments take 2 weeks to settle

I'm not sure how that would help with regards to APP fraud. APP fraud is possible because scammers are successfully able to social-engineer people into sending their money away despite the various warnings (including on the payments UI in bank apps, or - in the US where this scam uses gift cards - to not tell the cashier or the bank what you're buying the gift cards for). I would expect the same social-engineering to be able to convince the user to not raise the alarm during the 2 week cooldown period.

I think the problem with APP fraud is a lack of user education (and maybe consequences - users expect the bank to always make them whole and so don't take security seriously) as well as insufficient enforcement on the other side - not enough is being done to prevent scammers from operating (why is it still possible for them to robocall and spoof UK numbers? why is there no AML/KYC equivalent before being able to place calls?) and getting away with it.
