I got an iPhone 7 2 years ago (then-new), precisely because I was fed up with Android. But mostly I'm quite disappointed.

Better privacy settings are great, it is so much easier to lock down permissions (though I hear Android has gone a long way). Everything else is worse.

Performance was OK, but now is so-so, phone definitely feels very slow from time to time, or Safari randomly crashing. Some websites will reload a bunch of times then crash completely. Typing is so much worse, autocorrect is more like auto-typo, compared to what I'm used to (which surely mined text data from my and everyone's phone but so be it). App availability for general stuff seems worse.

I wanted to like my iPhone, but don't, and I'm likely to go back to Android when this one finally dies.
I don't know much about the culture specifically, but I'm reminded of the story about the Indonesian president whom the KGB tried to blackmail by taping him being seduced by two flight attendants.

> Before starting the blackmail, KGB invited Sukarno in a small private movie theatre and showed him the pornographic video, in which he was playing the main part. KGB agents were expecting him to get really frightened, that he would agree to cooperate with them at once, but everything happened vice versa: Sukarno fondly decided that it was a gift from the Soviet government, so he asked for more copies to take them back to Indonesia and show them in movie theatres. Sukarno said to flabbergasted agents that the people of Indonesia would be very proud of him, if they could see him doing the nasty with Russian girls.

If the entire value of an item of writing hinges on the revelation of a single fact, then the writing is flawed.

State the fact and be done with it.

(As I've just done here.)

If the writing has value, the fact will be immaterial to that value, and the true reward for the reader is in the telling of the story, the narrative developed, the introduction and interrelation of facts, concepts, characters, strengths, and flaws. And yes, telling those, where they are material to the story, takes time, but also is its own constant reward.

We have classics of literature and mythology. The stories are well known. The boy loses the girl, then wins her back. The dog dies. We all die. A tree grows in Brooklyn. George slays the dragon. Cinderella wins the prince. The Wicked Witch is overcome. Jesus dies, then returns. Buddha is enlightened.

Those facts don't matter to the value of the story. It's the details built up along the way, the morals and principles exposed, which do.

Build your stories around those, then pull away all that truly does not matter.

(This sounds simple. It's much harder than it seems.)
This is good, hopefully we will these start to see buttons to disagree to all appear on more sites - I've certainly given in and clicked agree a few times.
so the problem here is if you have all of those needs, then really soon in the life of the project you are going to need good tooling to handle them.

So choosing something which makes it "one-click" to set up but total madness to manage is a really short-term optimization, only worth it for a pure prototype which you will throw away no matter how successful.

If you know you need those things to reach success, then it is better to make the up-front investment to get good tools for those.

If you still want to go with a cloud provider, AWS Amplify has some interesting tooling. I've build products both against Amplify and Firestore (and Firebase). Yes, Firebase is a few days to a week faster to set up (integrated user management, as you say), but AWS gives more sophisticated control and is built around scripted deployments.

You pay for it, of course, and I'm not arguing AWS vs running your own server. I am saying if the choice is AWS or Firebase, that a few days researching the choice would give you knowledge you could use for launching the next 10 prototypes you have in mind.

> If you show up to a sports arena ....

Poor analogy. A sports arena is one big room for sport, not messaging. If people stood on soapboxes and yelled their off-topic ideas at everyone in the arena, they would be asked to leave regardless of what their messages were.

Twitter's purpose is publishing messages on any topic. It is not one big room where everyone must hear everyone else. The equivalent "doing it wrong" on Twitter is not (or shouldn't be) dissenting views or objections to vaccines. Doing it wrong on Twitter should be confined to inappropriate use of the API or some other technical misuse that actually impacts other users. Or posting illegal material or hate speech.

I don't remember anyone asking Big Tech companies to act as helicopter parents, protecting readers via censorship from ideas that don't align with current public policy.
Like it or not, cryptocurrency is real money and will remain so for the foreseeable future. Rather than throwing a tantrum, it might be a better idea to work on a solution to its downsides (PoW or whatever irks you about crypto).

Until then, people like this will continue to get outraged while the pro-crypto crowd carries on unaffected.
Used to love Thriftbooks. I bought several books that I couldn't find localy for a reasonable price. But then they raised their international shipping charges to a ridiculous level. A $6 book with $36 shipping is absurd. Now I could live with that if it was one charge per order, but this is per book.
It's probably not their fault, but it's sad I can't use them anymore.
huh, maybe if you want to make a crawler that competes with google you want to penalize content that does not have RSS feeds.
Intentional or not, WAP (Wiresless Application Protocol) was a real protocol that allowed you to surf the web on a cellphone in the late 90s/early 20s, before 3G was a thing. Most websites (or wapsites) were super barebones and relatively fast for me, and you could find interesting stuff like cracked .jars of popular games or of course, porn. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wireless_Application_Protocol
There's a reason Facebook paid billions for an essentially free (and ad-free) chat app and chose to leave it that way.
I live in Ireland and I know at least 100 people who have had covid, including my wife, father, mother and 2 sisters.

Omicron is prevalent here right now.
> Unless they can do it for roughly half the cost of what we have now, it doesn't have a lot of practical value. And there's nothing stopping Visa from implementing something similar.

I agree with this. And that is probably what will happen, but that wouldn't be a bad outcome. See it as one way to break a chain of middle man's.

Another (more likely) way to push down prices is with regulation. But to do this on a global scale is also very difficult.
Anecdotally from the people I know who've got covid since omicron was identified, none have had to go to hospital (all are double vaccinated, some had booster), but it can still be a rough few days/week while ill and some are still coughing/feeling overly tired a few weeks later
The video of the bed descending upon the sofa and coffee table seems to solve the wrong problem: if you have space above your living room you can essentially build a stable bunk above rather than having the entire bed move up and down.

If you need marginally free payments, the mobile payment systems that exist in several countries are already doing a pretty good job. We could imagine some EU regulation push to mandate inter-operability [1] and no/low cost to small businesses.

I don't think big businesses can just disregard the cost of fraud and other payment incidents. On the other hand, subsidizing small businesses makes sense: for good or bad, there's an increasingly anti-cash movement in some European countries.

That's very interesting, could you answer a few questions, or point me to some resource which explains in more detail?

1. How does this story end?
2. Which Fed announcement are you referring to? That rates will be raised? What do you mean the party's over, that speculation will decrease and prices will drop?
3. "This impacts tech stocks which are not making money and not likely to make money" You mean that this will impact stock of tech companies which are not profitable, since their stock values are speculative, and not that tech stocks won't make money, right?
4. So that means the Fed has chosen to crash the stock market and save the real economy, right? And by that statement, you mean that the Fed will curb speculation in order to stop price increases in food and other commodities?
5. How and why does rises in prices of risky speculative assets trickle down to rises in food and commodities prices? Is this because some part of the market gets out of the high risk assets and start bidding up lower risk assets? Is this true in general, that price increases due to too much speculation in one part of the market will eventually spread to everything else?
Totally. BTCPay is an amazing platform for building open source cryptocurrency gateways. I wish they would spin that up and get more folks to run their own open source monetary infrastructure.
Because of ownership and the idea of digital property. In a MySQL the provider owns all data, with an NFT the key holder owns the data.
I've been using longform.org with the Send To Kindle Chrome extension. That way, I've always had a library of articles on my Kindle. Sad to see them go.
There are so many dark patterns for tracking users, not to mention other dark patterns. The excessive focus on cookies is a distraction. (Not to mention that cookies can be a valuable, almost unavoidable way of providing useful services.)

Dark patterns should be suppressed, but balancing attention on all such patterns.
Wow, nice. Does that mean that they'll issue the fine for all those hugely shitty sites with GDPR dialogs that slowly load "Reject" buttons as well?
Oops, I meant descendants, and now I am giggling uncontrollably.

> Like this plant for this sickness and this for that. It was usually a mixture always mixed for that one patients unique condition.

Sure, and that's because they mostly had no idea what they were doing. If you have a bacterial infection today, you can take an antibiotic. If you have a dangerous viral infection, an anti-viral may help (though there are few of those). If you have a parasite, you get a very specific anti-parasite.

And on and on: there are many many diseases for which we have specific, targeted remedies that work with very high accuracy - well over 99%.

No woo woo plant energy "healing" achieves anything close to that.
Good. I for one am sick of tidiously applying my cookie guidlines and popups "correctly" only to see dark patterns everywhere.

You don't need to store an identifying cookie to remember someone clicked "no" on a popup. Storing a cookie or localstore that says "cookiePrompt = rejected" should be sufficient.
But we're seeing evidence that Omicron provides some immunity from the more dangerous strains like Delta.

If we're worried about Omicron mutating to become more deadly, why aren't we worried about the other human coronaviruses doing the same? 229E, NL63, OC43, HKU1 that have been around for ages?

There's nothing magic about Omicron, its just a repsiratory virus thats relatively new to humans so there's not so much population immunity. And looks like we're rapidly getting exposed to it, so its about to lose its advantage.

> with a breathtakingly antiquated way of doing things.

I think it's mainly a fix/workaround for the breathtakingly antiquated build systems in the C/C++ world ;)

In the end, STB-style single-header vs. a single .h/.c pair is not all that different, both are equally straightforward to integrate into a project.

The actual problem are libraries made of dozens/hundreds/thousands of header and source files and coming with their own complex build system setup.
Well, you can call me foolish, but I don't think COVID is severe enough to be worth long-term realignment of cultural norms around wardrobe. Most people agree with me, which is why so much of the debate has been based on panic.
> What room do you use in the house?

Had to move from central London to a suburb to afford a house with a dedicated cabinet. One of the best decisions I made at the beginning of the pandemic. I am sure my mental health has improved a lot with the option to "close" the cabinet at 6 PM and disconnect from my work till morning.

> Do you have a special desk?

A basic standing desk I bought on Amazon. It is okay. But now I am thinking to buy a new solid one. Standing desks tend to be wobble, and it can be not very pleasant.

> What monitors do you have?

iMac M1 24". I have LG 5k 24" as well on the table. But I turn it on only to connect to the iPad or when I have to present something online.

> Keyboard?

Ultimate Hacking Keyboard[0] 60 v1 with a palm rest. One of the best purchases at the beginning of the work from home/isolation trends.

> Mouse?

Apple Magic Trackpad. Do not like mouses.

> Do you work from a laptop?

Used to. But with the shift to the work from home situation, I switched to iMac—a more prominent display, quiet, better ergonomic.

> Do you move around the house?

Yes, but only for meetings. I usually make calls (Zoom, Google Meet) from my iPhone to move around. The second reason I do so, by the way, is the terrible Bluetooth stack on the current Apple Silicon machines and the inability of Google Sevices to work reliable anywhere except Google Chrome in the latest version.

> What other equipment?

- iFi ZEN DAC[1] for music

- BenQ WiT e-Reading Desk Lamp[2]

Nope. I am using the one in my headphone or iMac's ones.

> Webcam?

iMac or iPhone cameras.

I was also negatively effected by stackoverflow's refusal to comply with the law until I blocked the pop up using ublock orgin. Users shouldn't be forced to do this but here we are.

Hopefully every EU state fines these companies and continues to do so until they comply.
My understanding is EU member states have some freedom to implement the “cookie law” (ePrivacy Directive) in different ways, and this deadline is linked to some updates to the legislation in France which took effect from Oct 2020.
>Every time I dig into crypto I find things that seem stupid, or useless, or actively bad. But so many people are into it!

During my time in tech I've only knew two people who held crypto. However, I've know a lot of people(myself included) who got into crypto, got dissilusioned by the promises, and after seeing that nothing they promissed actually arrived left.

5 Years ago I've heard how crypto is going to be a killer usecase for e-commerse, banking, and even cloud computing but no actual work was ever done to acomplish these goals
Congrats for the impressive technical feat!

One (maybe naive) question: at a certain point in the demo, Rainbow wallet forecasts a 400$ gas fee. Does this mean that in order to play this game, I need to spend hundreds of dollars for each round?

The apps that keep me using Apple products are Scrivener, Logic, Studio One, Final Cut, Photoshop, and Illustrator. There are a few others too.

I also like the integration between my phone and my computer. For example, taking a picture on my phone and having it show up in Photos automatically, the ability to copy and paste between my phone and computer, the ability to make phone calls on my computer, the ability to share browser windows between my phone and computer, and the ability to use my iPad as a second monitor.

I've been using Linux since Slackware's first release, and still use it today, but it isn't my main desktop for these reasons.
@Dang, this thread has become a dialogue between an alleged ex-girlfriend and the alleged current girlfriend of [redacted]. The former, who seems to have been sued by him already, is making really serious accusations that can't be really proved on this pages, the second is defending him. Does this really need to be here? I'm not a lawyer for sure, but how isn't this defamation?
Me, not write(2)’ing though, mostly because you don’t want to syscall-block every few bytes. Modern service managers redirect 1,2 into logging facilities (or just files if configured such way), and 1,2 are no different than 3+. As if there was a regular way for data to escape a program through non-fd (mmap/shm/fork doesn’t count).

That said I’m not sure what context we are discussing. I work on nodejs apps now where blocking is a non-issue. I’d obviously think about it more in C’s fprintf() or a similar block-by-default environment.

Edit: also, my area is fintech with $0.1-$1000 range per request, not telecom. I log everything because my employer can ask about everything, and it’s always money.

“Cookie dialogs” are supposed to be about trackers of all sorts (not just cookies); there to ask for permission to store non-essential trackers in general.

We need to stop calling them cookie pop ups as that’s a misnomer. You can use cookies. You can store site state, login sessions, shopping carts and much more without asking at all.

They are tracking consent popups.

Is it pure luck that Omicron is more transmissible but apparently less severe than Delta? What is to stop the next variant being more transmissible than Omicron but 10 times more deadly?

We're on the same page here.
problem is that it's Telegram.

Telegram wants to appeal to security minded folk but their crypto is snakeoil so the only people who use it for "sEcUriTy" are crypto bros and ISIS recruiters. Apart from being "herbalife cryptography", telegram doesn't roll out security patches. Instead security fixes are bundled within the regular release process, so the new version is always a mixed bag of new features and fixes. Yikes on very basic software engineering process & principles: https://mtpsym.github.io/
As the sibling comment mentions, Stackoverflow would not know you have refused to save cookies on your previous visit, so it displays the banner again. That's precisely how it should be. If they want to know you without a cookie, they have to store your browser fingerprint, UA, IP,and more. I guess, that's not what you'd want.
Yeah, I feel like that was a pretty common workflow. Someone would get a new algorithm working in Perl, test it on fairly small datasets, maybe publish their paper, then some poor chump would have to carefully rewrite it in C to make it actually useful for real data. I was at a university, so our chumps were grad students. I'm sure interns were the industry equivalent :)
Dumb question - I always come on HN, where lots of web devs hang out, and see people decrying dark patterns. So who builds this stuff? Where are the devs defending it? Or do they just take a check and keep quiet?
