Not really. Apple plans their phone line ups well in advance, and given that it's hardware it might be very difficult to change it on short notice. The mini significantly undersold expectations, leading to Apple even cutting production [1]. If you want further proof that the mini bombed, consider that every rumour has it gone from this year's lineup.

They do. You just have to buy a business/first-class ticket, and pony up for Precheck or (better) Global Entry.

It's not even remotely the same experience as cattle-class coach. It's expensive, but if you have the money, it's worth every cent. Global Entry has let me bypass MULTI-HOUR-LONG lines for immigration. I hand over our passports and our Global Entry receipts, the agent scans them, and says "Welcome back." That's it. Security? Priority line, I don't take off my coat, belt, or shoes, I don't go through the naked scanner, and I only pull out my electronics because my charger bag has so many wires that it looks like someone's trying to hide a bomb somewhere (so I scan it separately, if they want to look inside, they can and it's a lot quicker).

It's not really fair. It really is me leveraging the fact that I have enough money to pay problems to go away. But it does work. And one of the reasons it does is that Precheck/GE people know the routine.
And the battery life!! My first Pebble still had about 7 days of battery life after ~6 years of use, just unreal. I think it was rated for 10 at launch. Seeing 10% battery usually means I'm good for a day, maybe two.

I'm on my second Pebble Time Steel now - I only had to get a new one because the waterproofing failed while I was surfing!

I've had two separate instances of strangers (in Sydney) coming up to me and bumping their wrist to my wrist, because they also had a Pebble and recognised mine. Really lovely community.

I do way too much for one person at a fairly well known enterprise:

- Architecture

- Compliance

- Operations

- SRE

More or less herd a bunch of cats. One day it might be reworking the design of a given service, another it might be helping our more proper Operations team close a ton of vulnerabilities.

In general... I try to make things better/help others do that too
It’s ok to leave money on the table. Trying to be all things to all people isn’t tenable.
It's probably helpful to have some background context for the development of this

The author of this library is also the author of the React JUCE renderer. It's a toolkit that re-uses React Native's rendering engine to allow you to use JS and React to render JUCE components:

https://www.nickwritesablog.com/blueprint-a-juce-rendering-b...

https://github.com/JoshMarler/react-juce

So at this point, you have a (presumably) C++ JUCE app that is using JS/TS to render the UI. Why not work to move DSP stuff into JS as well, so that you're gluing minimal bits of C++ together?

It's not a far leap from there to here when you follow this line of thinking down the road.

> a failed insurrection two years ago that killed 5 people.

I’m not sure what’s nuttier, the actual event itself or the fact that people still call it an “insurrection”. Either way, you are doing a good job of (unwittingly?) providing evidence for your own points, I guess.
I admit, I hardly use Finder. I usually use linux terminal with linux tools like find.
The most recent ones don't seem to be full resolutions - all of the ones up through IDOR seem to have full resolution downloads that make things a lot easier to read.
And why does that matter? Should we all work for free then in order to help out our employers?
The only people I know with newer houses seem to be having periodic teething issues around this new move towards air-tightness for energy efficiency. Unexpected lack of proper ventilation/drainage in the exterior walls, for instance.

The linked post doesn't get into these newer standards and such, but it seems like a work-in-progress to get right, so I'm personally gonna wait it out for a while longer. In the meantime I'm lucky and have windows I can open to get good breezes when I want and have come to enjoy that anyway.
Interesting that you mention the Mohawk tribe and their protest, I just learned about it earlier today from watching the film Beans.

This might be the first time I've heard someone say comprehensive documentation is a bad thing.

Go's module docs are 82 printed pages. Is that better or worse? https://go.dev/ref/mod
On the function hooks, that would be awesome. I was just implementing some of those SQL commands.

And I will look more at the realtime libraries to see the new stuff. Thanks for all the open code!!
Similar usage pattern here. MacOS desktop design is not perfect, but it's fine.

I could never have the majority of apps in full screen though, I switch apps far too often. My desktop is just a pile of windows on top of each other.

I can search for strings that exactly exist in pages and it still doesn't find them, it has no way I can find to limit searches to pages I've modified, and its search result ordering is awful, partial search results crowd out full matches. I'm sure there's worse search features, but this is supposed to be decent, well-supported software. It's not some crap noname wiki, supported by one guy parttime.
Is there really such a thing as putting fields into play quickly when crops take a year to come in and can be lost in a single bad weather event?
I have had a series of accounts on HN since it was "Startup News"(I make a new one every so often just for the sake of discarding old attachments). I did game development for several years out of college. It went from steady job to odd jobs to no job, which I can see now as a result of the market cycle in games creating momentary, unstable opportunities - it's notorious as a short career path. I considered doing something else in tech and startups, but I managed to torpedo every interview, mostly because I was not submitting to the rules of the technical interview game, and had been feeling increasingly disillusioned. I really didn't know what I was going to do in 2016-2017, but then came the 2017 crypto bull run, which felt like a sudden salvation.

Now I pay my bills through holdings that were initially built 9 years ago off a single $5000 investment. It is not an eye-popping multi-millions portfolio, but my lifestyle is cheap and I can generally afford anything I want. My college study was in economics, and while finance isn't my most favorite topic in the world, my hand has been forced to use what I know to grasp in that direction and predict what the next steps are in the space so that I can make successful speculations. Finance is conceptually important to societal coordination, and the tech simply adds more ways of achieving it. But in the near term it has to endure wave after wave of rent seeking activity, which is also what makes it good for speculation.

More recently, to pass the time(because I play a long game here, and do not try to trade more than a few times a year) I started paying attention to the NFT markets and have been using that as an excuse to practice illustration skills, which has been fun and builds on what I already knew from games. A few works have sold. As a side gig it's fine, it lets me work on ideas I want to express, and if I continue to invest in those skills I'll have another set of options for income.

My wants are mostly centered around relationships, community and society - things that can't be answered just with work or money.
Loved my original pebble -- then the Apple Watch came along.
I was very much alive, working, and insured in the 90s.

It wasn’t great. HMOs were being introduced (top down) and a lot of people had no idea how to use them.

The prices were nowhere near as high. The huge jump happened in the 2000s. It was nuts.

Regarding the bit about “health insurance companies could reject preexisting conditions” - most people got insurance through employers whose contracts required pre existing conditions be covered.

There were absolutely some places you could get totally stuck and screwed.

But things didn’t get bad until the 2000s, and it was mostly price that was the issue.
I'd say if your gonna acquire a machine, if you can get one not off a scalper, get a Pi. You can do the thing with introducing linux. You can do web development on it. You can play with databases on it. You can also play around hardware and GPIO pins so you can teach a more diverse set of programming or have the option to delve into a much more diverse set. And perhaps your teenager will find an area they like best. Perhaps they really like twiddling bits on the GPIO and want to make a device. Perhaps they like the web programming. Perhaps your teenage ends up rolling some service on their own they find useful and they can at the end of the summer throw it in a corner somewhere and interact with it from another computer and it won't take much space.
ah, lol. yeah, that's a good point, that scenario could definitely be smarter - I wasn't thinking about it listing the directory first. plus the time between list and "look again for .gitignore" is small enough that any inconsistencies could very reasonably be labeled an acceptable resolution to a race between git and other file system changes.
I think this is very deserving of a response, and I'd agree I'm possibly using 'stability' in a way that needs to be much more rigorously defined. Not sure if I'll get the time/energy to do that though, unfortunately.

Beeper is based on Matrix and the bridges they use are almost all open source. It's an amazing Matrix client (including on Android and, reportedly, iOS) and that makes it pretty great at everything else. Though the Discord integration could use a bit of work still.

Texts looks entirely proprietary and the FAQ says they're working on an iOS app.
I don't see why you can't like a mouse if you like MACs. Also if you like a mouse that you have to turn upside down and can't use while charging you are just a glutton for punishment.

USB-C mice are not really a thing, so you have to use a Bluetooth mouse instead of using a mouse you may have had for the last 10 years and replaced the omron switches in several times. All this for what arrogance?
All the classic complaints that show this person hasn’t really given it a chance.

Window snapping and maximize are the only two things I agree with here, but they are easily fixed by many third party apps. To those that say that’s “cheating” or something like that: the amount of third-party software required to give me a usable Windows system far outweighs what I install on a Mac. Yes macOS’s window snapping/maximization are non-existent/weird, but BetterSnapTool is one of the few “first installs” I feel I MUST make on a Mac. Contrast that with OneCommander, Everything Search, 7-Zip, etc that I absolutely require on a Windows machine. And even then the experience is…crusty. And of course you can’t even talk about Linux here — the whole thing is third party software, that’s the point.

Cmd+tab is simple: it is for apps. Cmd+~ is for windows within apps. This is, I think, a very fair way to approach a system wherein “having all windows closed” != “the app is closed;” a design decision that I think is far, far more useful than Windows/most Linux DEs (it also arises out of the fundamental difference of “being in app (Finder) when you’re not in any other apps” — again, a better overall UX decision, I think.

The comments from supposed “power users” claiming that you can’t cut/paste within Finder clearly aren’t power users.

Etc.

As usual, these rants and arguments come down to little more than familiarity. I have met very, very few people with a truly objective and measured take on desktop OS UX and are power users.

Regulatory capture is indeed a problem. But it's a hand-waving assertion that it's "much easier to pull off when there’s only one central authority that needs to be captured."

This sort of claim seems to me fundamentally rooted in some specific ideas about large human organizations, specifically of the governmental kind. One of the key ideas it requires to be true is that the corruption endemic to small-scale institutions (think your local mayor, perhaps (depending on your state) even your governor) will automatically apply to much larger scale institutions (such as those administered by the federal government).

I'm not going to deny that this could be true - it clearly could. But the change in scale, the change in mechanisms of influence that are required, the change in the possible side-effects of such corruption being uncovered ... these all point in the opposite direction, in my opinion.

Amazon and Walmart are not the victors in a game of regulatory capture. They are the beneficiaries of the election of senators, representatives, presidents and the appointments of judges who explicitly do not believe in much regulation. Even so, they are subject to more oversight than one of my local ranching families in NM, who can get a (former) governor to re-route millions of dollars in state & federal funding to a road they would prefer.
I’m guessing they were using a course of treatment insurance refused to cover. Or it was nursing/residential care.
Seeing so many impacts of Crypto outside of Crypto, it seems clear it's not going away and will continue to be "expected" to exist by many. Despite the mostly pyramid scheme nature of it, it looks likely to impact an entire generation in many, many ways.
(1) No IDE can match (n)vim's coding speed.

(2) Switching to the mouse is annoying. Dealing with lots of windows is inefficient compared to kb shortcuts.

(3) If a large part of your workflow happens in a terminal environment, it feels natural to use it.
That still makes it testable in a way purely faith-based restrictions are not.

From what I'm understanding, it isn't even a gas tax holiday, it's a holiday to an automatic inflation adjustment they baked into their gas tax, valued at a whole whopping 2.2 cents a gallon.

I feel like the situation in a general way can be set up as:

1. High gas prices are good for the environment

2. High gas prices are bad for consumers

This policy in Illinois at least seems to me like their priority is 1, but want to pretend like it's 2 by doing a lot of signaling that doesn't really improve anything on the 2 side. There are actual long term solutions to 2, what they are depends on your political orientation of course, but none of them are likely to get anyone reelected in 6 months, so they're opting for this nonsense instead and hoping people buy it. Maybe if the people of Illinois are really lucky they might start worrying about some actual solutions in 2023.
Where did we establish this? If you don't personally have an experienced friend willing to do this you can always go out and make one. That would also allow for safer and easier access to the illicit substances.

If that is too overwhelming and difficult perhaps you're not ready for the experience in the first place. This isn't a dig at anybody.

The absolute necessity for a guide is also a completely baseless claim. It is prudent advice I suppose but nobody can really promise you a risk free trip or good results.

This is hardly uncharted territory. I'd start with reading some Terence McKenna rather than taking advice from randoms online/offline.

There is a reasonable body of work and advice on the subject available for those who seek it but you need to use your own judgment, and have good judgment.

Paying for an authority figure (note that I specifically opted not to use the word expert) to do your thinking for you doesn't always work.
Flying itself is often cheap, but the connections to & from the airport can make it less cheap. My bus to central Brussels from Charleroi cost more than the round trip flight from Copenhagen.
"We sold 2 million watches and did over $230m in sales."

So from 0 to 2 million in 4 years?

I was just explaining to my child that many "failures" are only failures from a strange but important angle. They might have been profitable at the time they were canceled, but they were perceived by their maker as less profitable than some other potential product. A venture might net $1m/year and be deemed a wild success. Or it might be deemed a failure if the maker thinks they could net $5m/year on a different venture using the same resources.
Thanks for the link! I actually stopped wearing it at the end of the M&A process, because of how stressful the the M&A process was. As much as I liked the device, I started getting a bit of a negative Pavlovian reaction to the wrist buzzes, because the contents of the emails tended to be pretty stressful. I intended it to be a short digital detox, but since then, I've only worn the dumbest of dumbwatches. But maybe it's time to give it another go, it'd be great to have it help kill off my phone checking habit again. It's truly awesome that the fact that it was so open has allowed it to live past its parent company.

While I am a big fan of Jonathan Haidt, and have read several of his books, I can't help but feel that this is written from a point of view that is entirely too impressed with (if also afraid of) technology.

Peter Turchin predicted escalating levels of polarization in the US, reaching a peak around 2020, without any need to look at social media. The level of political polarization now, while high, is less than the late 1850's. I also think he's more impressed with AI-generated content than is warranted; unpaid zealots can crank the stuff out in more than enough quantity.

Turchin blames elite overproduction; it seems a much more fundamental issue than social media. Haidt even provides evidence for that here:

"These two extreme groups are similar in surprising ways. They are the whitest and richest of the seven groups, which suggests that America is being torn apart by a battle between two subsets of the elite who are not representative of the broader society."

Now, don't get me wrong, I am no fan of FB or Twitter, but I don't think Haidt's take on this is accurate. The stupidity of current discourse uses social media, of course, because that's the dominant media, but I don't believe they caused it.
If you health insurance only covered “insurance events” in the normal definition of the phrase, much of medical care would not be insurable.

" This was illegal, unconstitutional, and a massive overreach by Scalia, because obviously he undermined the Founders' expressed requirement for a Constitutional convention and 2/3rds both houses of Congress or of State legislatures to change the Constitution."

You are obviously not a lawyer.

"That this defacement of the Constitution occurred in the way that it did, the 2nd was vandalized without altering the literal words, is interesting, but I believe it only a matter of time before parts of DC v Heller (2008) are overturned for lack of accuracy, overreach, and flippantly reversing a hundred plus years of court precedent with garbage reasoning."

Have you read Heller, McDonald, or any of the various Circuit cases on Second Amendment rights?

JUCE is also reasonably popular among GPL'ed plugins, since it does allow for a GPL option. It's not perfect, and in fact has many important issues, but it's probably the least bad of a bunch of not-very-good options (no matter what type of license you're planning to use).
This is inadvertently insightful since we are indeed not allowed to substantially criticize and reduce the power of the medical industry, as innocent lives are at stake if costs are moderated. Understandably, no one wants to reckon with the potential consequence of losing innocents that might’ve benefitted from an additional treatment.
Wait, that's awesome! TIL.

I believe the dissenting christian religious, quakers and affiliated non-conformists in the methodist tradition underpinned the anti-slavery movement of the UK, and I would assume the USA from their deep shared roots.

By the time of legal reforms of the 18th century I think this was overt, specific focal action. They were using parliament, and outside parliament agitation against capital investment in slavery. In many ways, delaying reform into the mid 19th century was an american story. The supply side from africa dried up long before the southern states were ready for the transition.

Slavery in the british colonies (west indies) had been backfilled by transportation from the UK prison system. When that ended, the hulks (ships moored in the rivers with prisoners) overflowed, and Australia happened, to remove the hulk problem. Ending the australian penal colony system also ended how Britain dealt with trade unionists and irish freedom fighters.

It's sort-of fictionalised in Neal Stephenson's "system of the world" but it has factual underpinning, if this is perhaps anachronistic/ahistorically portrayed in the books.

[...] “Take out anything with a screen in your living room”, the critique goes, “there’s no way to tell if your house was built in the 2010s or the 1970s.”

Interestingly this IMO applies mostly to decently wealthy and very poor families.

Either you live in a house that was well built enough to withstand a century or more or abuse, you have enough resources to properly maintain it, and you can enjoy its charm and character.

Or you're dirt poor, can't afford/get access to a modern house, and live in either a remote or derelict house that has been left in the state it was in for decades, and you have no choice.

There must be people in-between, but I'd assume it's the exception, as in most respect it will be more comfortable to live in a modern house that comes from the get got with good insulation, maintainable weather proofing, electric wiring, modern kitchen, elderly access, more useable floor plans etc.
