I felt their blog post [0] kind of did that. Maybe not as detailed as you’re suggesting (which I agree would be nice to see) but it got the point across.

OKRs serve one useful purpose: if you come across someone who seems to take them seriously, then you know for sure that they're delusional/crazy and should be designed around where practical.
Is that an ethical approach?

No, they directly use coal and silicon to produce solar panels. And panels only last ~10 years. So there is a constant need for fossil fuels.

I find anything that involves the cloud with Apple is suspect to just not work without explanation, but overall I think iOS is pretty solid still. I just avoid their cloud services and use something else.

MacOS, on the other hand, I feel is increasingly a pain to use these days. It is not so much that the OS has gotten worse, but that there have been weird UX decisions along the way compared to Windows. I don’t like how MacOS manages windows or full-screen apps; I don’t really like the finder still; and I think the dock is a big waste of space on high resolution displays and never quite hides reliably the way I think it should when set to hide when not in use.

I should say, I loved the dock back in the OSX days, I just think The Windows taskbar is better these days.

It is a shame because I think Apple is at an all time high with their hardware design and build quality. Their laptops are second to none. The OS just feels like a chore to use half the time.
Less clutter.

Isn't each tab clear from the fact that it starts with an icon?
A work-around I've been using on Linux is to set the GTK_THEME environment variable to the "high contrast" theme. With that theme it will draw a black outline around the focused tab.
He is making an argument that in a narrow sense good taste exists. He does not judge that that Italian artist that canned his own faeces is inferior to the Italian artist that sculpted the statue of David. One can appreciate the size and labelling of the can, the way it was lit and photographed, the fact that it was sealed. It is possible to imagine an inferior version of the canned faeces. This doesn't seem to be a crazy claim to make? To be honest I think taste is somewhat the wrong word, it seems to get hackles up about elitism.

To me he missed the easiest way to argue that good taste exists - due to the constraints of human perception, we can generate every possible work of art that fits on a canvas of a certain size. Should we do this, fill an online gallery with all these pictures and then declare that the visual medium is finished? That is a reasonable claim if there is no good taste, and it is absurd.

Furthermore, in the face of this omni-corpus an artist then transforms into a critic, who will browse this archive and highlight pictures they find interesting. Nothing is created, only curated. The outcome of this process is a work of art that someone may appreciate, which exists purely as the outcome of the artist/critic's taste, divorced from any act of creation. Yet this work of art is equivalent to one which was 'created' in the usual sense. The conclusion from this equivalence is that if you don't accept there is good taste, then you also accept that nothing is worth creating.

Post-modernism amounts to making a weaker claim, essentially saying that nothing is worth creating any more.
For those who are not aware about what is going on. Simple Ukrainians by their own initiative make calls to Russian citizens directly to tell them the truth about war that Russia started against Ukraine.

They use facts,official documents, OSCE public reports, public Videos and pure logic to convince Russians that their country indeed have started unprovoked War against Ukraine and covers it with lies pretending it never did. The deadly War that took already more then 15000 lives.

They use all possible methods to convince Russians but usually Russians are in complete denial. Ukrainians are recording those conversations and put on Youtube for everyone to observe. I was also shocked to find out how many Russians are actually support this war and cruelty toward innocent neighbor.

One example of such channel:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q6sS9akmYgA

Those Ukrainian channels trying to tell the truth are under constant attacks from Russian bots and strikes. If Susan Wojcicki have found her precious time to receive award about free-speech whether it is fake or not she SHOULD act accordingly and demonstrate it with her own actions. And we should keep her accountable if she doesn't.

Please someone who can, deliver that message to Susan Wojcicki. Not only she could change that malicious practice she SHOULD change it. There are no excuses. For each such 'shit happening' there is a person responsible for it. She is absolutely responsible for not protecting the truth here.

well, maybe if the restaurant can't find any waiters, they'll close down and fire the cook. I think that's what the above comment meant with lost jobs.
This trend lasted until just after Windows 7 when aesthetics went downhill.
I’m not arguing that it makes anything slightly worse. I’m arguing that it doesn’t make it worse at all. Of course, this is subjective.

I think this change is overall more consistent than previous Firefox versions (menus). I also think it removes clutter and looks simpler, cleaner, and less distracting.
My first bitcoin reimplementation was written in node.js and called bcoin[1]. So this is my second time reimplementing the bitcoin protocol, albeit in a very different language.

Bcoin was frequently used as a reference along with bitcoin core v0.8.0-v0.11.0 when I felt like double checking consensus functions (among other things).

As an aside, I personally think bitcoin core v0.8.0 is the best version of core if you want to learn bitcoin from it. It's a lot more straightforward than later versions. I personally don't enjoy reading any version beyond v0.11.0.

This is also the reason mako doesn't support taproot yet. That code is very new and isn't present in upstream bcoin. I could try to implement it from the BIPs alone, but I won't know what intricacies are present in the actual bitcoin core code until I actually read it.

It’s amazing that this needs to be spelled out for the HN community. I thought how can you ever oppose this - I am trying hard to listen to the counter arguments but it’s just not holding up. Something sinister is going on and we are secretly wishing for an authoritarian world - my cynical guess.

Do it now. Sign up. 4 years later you will have it. The longer you wait the more agony you will go through. 89 years old only gotten his PhD. You can do it. I have seen many gotten their degree in their late teens and early 20s and go on to achieve nothing in life by their 40s.

The question for me, is if I can no longer legally sell my bitcoin for dollars, then that implies that bitcoin can't be legally valued.

Does that mean I can then exchange it directly with others without incurring a capital gains tax event?

Point is, shutting down legal exchanges won't happen in the US. Since you can't kill the underlying system or stop people from using it, you only make it impossible to tax.
Didn't something like this change already a couple of releases ago? I found it annoying for a couple of days and after that I have not really noticed any more.

I have Xubuntu and run the Firefox release they give me. Last week there was an upgrade, but I did not notice any major change to tabs. Maybe the same change I saw a while ago ended up in ESR now? Just a wild guess, have not checked their release status for ages.
> I mean, let's be honest, if a species possesses the resources to cross interstellar space, we are not going to pose a threat to them.

There's a short story, "The Road Not Taken", by Harry Turtledove from 1985 that turns that around.

It turns out that gravity manipulation is absurdly easy. Most civilizations discover it before they have developed any sophisticated technology, and then most of their creativity goes toward further developing their gravity manipulation technology.

Earth is the odd one out, somehow failing to discover gravity manipulation. So all our creativity went into other technologies.

So when the aliens invade Earth, their ships are way more maneuverable than our planes and it looks like we have no chance. But when it comes to actual fighting their matchlock rifles and gunpowder bombs are no match for our machine guns and missiles. We easily defeat them.

> There isn't strong evidence, and you can't just eyeball studies and assume you understand them with no training.

I'm no medical anything but I do have extensive academic and statistical training. There is enough in these studies for someone to take Ivermectin as an "eh, why not?" gambit. There is evidence it is helpful, although the evidence isn't conclusive (or even especially strong). Some doctors are already prescribing it, quite reasonably.
It's not.

Most hunting rifles for e.g. deer rifles fire larger caliber rounds than the rifle in question in the case. Perhaps you're being sarcastic, but "big" does not necessarily mean "more deadly", nor does "big" actually apply to this rifle.
Honestly I'm glad it failed, not in a misanthropic sense, but I think that the idea of xhtml was too ridged and therefore it failed. Other semantic projects have the same issue, not just RDF, but also Lojban, and even formal math. There needs to be some basic structure but outside of that the freedom for interpret and give meaning.
When you say unarmed men, surely you don't intend to omit the fact that they ambushed him and were chasing him and attempting to grievously assault him while he was trying to get away?

This omission game goes both ways. You're leaving pertinent information out to support your narrative also.
It's because Google's UX designers don't care about their users. They only care about getting promoted. Redesigning everything to be flat is a lot of work so a lot of people can get promoted doing it.

We can all blame Matias Duarte for creating and launching Material Design without performing any usability testing. A few days before the public launch, he presented Material Design at the Google all-hands meeting and admitted in the Q&A that they had just started usability testing.

I predict that everything will be flattened by 2024 and they will begin adding back the affordances. Then it will take a few years for other companies to start adding affordances back. Everything will be usable again in 2029.

it's not nothing, it also makes us feel warm and fuzzy inside (and allow to look down on others, less ecological-conscious, people).

But even if it's nearly nothing, it's a step in the right direction and it's better done than not.
Personally, I can't imagine hand installing crx files every time an extension is updated. I can't imagine not having sync or container tabs. I can't imagine having "experimental settings" instead of about:config.
But were you actually distracted by the clutter before?
> negative opinions being amplified and folks who are happy/satisfied just keep it to themselves.

Exactly this. All posts on the internet act as a selection filter; the people most likely to comment are those with strong feelings on the subject. When we read comments, we tend to think "wow, I just read 10 comments and all but one hated the UI! People must really dislike this UI". But our sample isn't random, it's heavily biased! And we develop a biased understanding of the general population -- the vast majority of whom won't have left a comment at all. Instead of thinking "9/10 people dislike this UI", it's probably closer to "9 people out of all Firefox users dislike this UI". And more exactly, it's "9 people out of all Firefox users who saw this on HackerNews dislike this UI." Actually, I wonder if you can use Bayes' theorem to get the actual population's distribution somehow...
Billions and Billions to Be Wasted
A issue is that not all orgs that try to push OKRs understand this.
I've been places that try to push OKRs and all this blue sky thinking type stuff, but then want to have monthly status check-ins on if OKRs are being hit & why not.
I think you vastly overestimate "everyone else". I use Firefox and didn't even notice the change. So tabs don't have borders now, ok honestly whatever... Maybe try not to get hung up on these things and move on with life.
How lame, it would have been much nicer to just keep OpenCL functioning well and supported.
> The strongest proof would be to show that taste exists in the narrowest sense, so I'm going to talk about taste in art. You have better taste than me if the art you like is better than the art I like.

> If there's no such thing as good taste, then there's no such thing as good art. Because if there is such a thing as good art, it's easy to tell which of two people has better taste. Show them a lot of works by artists they've never seen before and ask them to choose the best, and whoever chooses the better art has better taste.

This makes no sense to me.
Starlink is really low so atmos drag would take care of it pretty quick, no?
> I think I might live with a smaller space bar

On typical keyboards, the spacebar is just about the width of 6 keys. -- Comparing what's allocated to the thumb vs to the pinky: the thumb is strong, the pinkies are weak, but the thumb is only used for the spacebar, and the pinkies for a bunch of other keys.

I've enjoyed using these niche ortholinear or split ergonomic keyboards. It's good to be able to use the thumb for more keys.
There is always a shock when a new design comes out. There was so much hate for the border less design youtube has right now but when I look back at older youtubes and older versions of almost anything, the new ones certainly feel better.

The only exception was the original iOS. They both hold up today. The original was a little cheesy but was still close enough to classy to work.
they're yelling that in criticism of the defense lawyer richards, actually, not 'as if they were his lawyer'. This is the last day of this trial and criticism of his lack of objections has been a big part of their coverage over the last week+. It's allowed the prosecutor to enter a lot of evidence without anyone to qualify it or attest to it because the defense just didn't object, which matters in jury decision and would matter on an appeal. There are points of argument about the type of bullet (hollow point vs metal jacket), and edited video that should never have been considered given the person who made it showed they didn't understand the underlying change or ever compared it to the original video, etc.
I don't have a fully developed opinion on that, so I won't try to come up with one on the spot. My comment is purely because I felt the parent left out details about the blog post that should have been pointed out.
Apple can move operations elsewhere. China is better at electronics than essentially everyone else BUT they’re no longer the cheapest workforce and Apple has lots of resources that would be worth nothing if it’s found out (ie by US intelligence, etc) that Apple’s hardware is full of backdoors from CCP.
The notifications come back in just about the same way the Algorithm scrambles timelines on the social media apps--its just like they're trying to keep you engaged in using the phone.

Ideally, the notifications should have two very simple views: a linear list by time, a grouped-by-application list and the ability to mark and sweep them away.

Or maybe at the most, an archive all notifications sweep that you can re-open if you remember that you wanted to see an old notification.
Agreed, the constant negativity (especially here on HN) gets very tiresome.

For what it's worth, Firefox has been my daily driver for years and I'm very happy with it. The new tab design doesn't bother me at all.
Perhaps it was posted here because it seems to have a remarkably broad scope going well beyond what might be considered railway-related? Just guessing, not the OP.

Yeah, same here.
Realistically he may have just wanted to move to Finland and this was a good way to do it where he is automatically embedded in a community? He also has pre-existing ties with this university, as he received an honorary degree from them in 2017.

I think if he really wanted to go low profile he would just shave his goatee and stop wearing a beret.
Windows 2000 was arguably better. But yeah.
Needs something about MTU too. A popular way to mess up a network is to configure it for a too large MTU and not send the ICMPs that would tell you otherwise.
Count me in. For me, it looks clean, and have no problems differentiating tabs. It's odd that people have a fit over this--not saying that people aren't allowed to dislike the changes but the negative reaction just seems over the top.
Russia demonstrably does not care about its citizens' lives. At all. Neither does the Trump GOP, as demonstrated so vividly by covid.

My condolences. It is an absolute nightmare trying to find any documentation for dealing with time machine issues. I ran into that once and will never do it again if I can avoid it.

I have been super happy with CCC. I use it to back up my Macbooks to my NAS. Sometimes wired, sometimes wireless. And yes, it doesn't break when it gets interrupted. And their documentation is amazing. All the use cases and error cases are documented with solutions and everything.

I think I had two or three recoveries so far and have been happy with it. Even when it didn't work for some reason their documentation had workarounds.
Courts aren't automatically reasonable. You're endorsing the classification.

>There's no question that at least the contracting company is responsible.

Nope. I beg to differ. Set unreasonable quotas? You are ultimately at fault. People that toss out "Thou shalt"s must be tightly coupled to the consequences of their actions.

No, the contracting company is not responsible. They source people. Amazon controller the implementation details of the job. If someone on contract is asked to do the impossible, and does so in good faith, the contractor is free and clear.

Yes, the American Contractor had best be savvy, and we could seriously use some "Contracting 101" somewhere in the formal education process in the States, but just because you hired someone on contract to do something legally questionable doesn't magically make your offloaded to guy the evildoer. You hired it out and set the ground rules.

>The issue is that if giant companies can offload liability onto contractors, you create a strong incentive to make sure all liability hits bankruptcy proceedings before ever reaching you.

What makes you think they don't structure for the bankruptcy bit anyway?
It seems extremely clear to me. There is even only one tab that has an x icon so the only way to close it is to middle click the tab.
Hadn't thought of that. I've been listening intermitently, and the fact that only today - and during Jury instructions no less - does the channel go down make me think that yeah, someone reported it, and the automation probably kicked in after that. Simplest explanation I think.
> And more exactly, it's "9 people out of all Firefox users who saw this on HackerNews dislike this UI."

These bootcamps get a lot of heat, and I’m rarely one to defend them, but I think these camps should embed themselves into Universities as an accelerated program. Something like a three-year program (College is just too long in general), followed by a one year embedded bootcamp.

Edit: I meant a total of only three years (the third year being the bootcamp).
"Who is going to do it?" is always my first question whenever I am asked to estimate a piece of work. PMs/EMs are usually taken aback by the response, as if we are all supposed to pretend that all dev "resources" are equal. Yet reality doesn't fit into neat planning spreadsheets or burndown graphs, so often gets ignored.
Sometimes I think we will never escape the fundamental brutality of life.

You don't have to attack the legitimacy of someone's position like this. Sure, it is possible that the reasons for it are what you're saying, but this personal dismissive attack is unwarranted, and frankly at this point tired and ineffective.
GG is a interesting person.
He was already convicted of home invasion and is therefore prohibited from carrying/owning/purchasing a gun.

He had DUIs after this event but was let off

There has been some suggestion that his ability to avoid prosecution suggests that he is a likely FBI informant in Antifa.
