Earlier typewriters didn’t have 0 and 1 keys [1] and instead the O and l keys did double duty. When 0 and 1 keys were finally added on typewriters, there probably wasn’t enough space to add them both on the left side. The fact that the previously used O key is to the right may also have been a factor.

> It's been a few years since I had that phone so the details are a bit fuzzy but I seem to recall it was very discoverable from the email attachment interface, at the very least.

That's great if I'm sending an email, but what if I want to upload the documents to a website, or send them via iMessage, or Airdrop them to another Apple device, or print out the scan to effectively make a second paper copy? Do you add the icon to each of these interfaces, taking up screen real estate and adding mental load? (One new icon is never a problem, but do it 30 times and you'll be in a bad spot.)

IMO, Apple's strategy significantly railroads users, while making interfaces ever-more complicated.

Yeah, bundling everything into iTunes worked really well for Apple, didn't it? :D

I really don't think we should be making UI decisions based on this.
I agree; this is not normal at all! After all, that's why Apple Watch was invented! ;)

A discord I’m on has a ping we use called “Office Hours.” Any given day 2-5 of us will be on the general voice channel chatting and working, with people muting/deafening if they need to be heads down or get a call or something. It’s really nice when my work is a bit more rote. As someone with ADHD having a background hum of activity is just really helpful too.
That is because you were a child. Not because you didn't have a phone.
>> Disgusting.

Wow, opposing mob rule is "Disgusting." now

>real democracy

That is why I oppose "real democracy", I prefer a Constitutional Republic with powers widely distributed in a federalist model.

>if the majority goes psychotic nothing will help us

No, that is the exact thing a Constitution, Distributed Power, and Checks / Balances is designed to counter, to ensure the majority can not simply force their will over the minority.... and the smallest minority is the individual

What is actually disgusting is your rejection of natural individual rights in favor of majoritarian rule
I think a lot could be mitigated if interviewers supplied a take home test and a different example take home test with an answer that showed the format of what they were actually looking for with depth/complexity/testing/etc.
Plants, by not being in a hurry, can disperse their information processing machinery in a way that makes it both resistant to damage and, anatomically, indefinitely hard to identify.

They also can get by, for the same reason, with radically less of it, because the same machinery can worry at all stages of the problem, serially, one after another, not all at once as animals must.

Finally, because slow processing demands such a small fraction of their energy budget, they can afford to support a great deal more of it than animals can.

Plants can afford to be very, very intelligent. If we have not found examples of it, we might just not be looking correctly. What a plant could usefully do with intelligence might be decidedly non-obvious to such as ourselves, but it would be idiotic to conclude no such use is likely.

I don't know, the Romans were pretty democratic so I've been told and they collapsed due to internal reasons. Lots of empires that weren't so democratic lasted much longer. Is that your point?

I'd love an actual example, matter of factly.

I think this is partially due to meditation being strongly associated in Western culture with New Thought [1] type movements. This diverse movement is the inspiration for most of the modern self-help ideology. As the quotes from William James in that article mention, the basis is "Mind-Cure", or the idea that thinking the right thoughts leads to physically healing the body.

Many people in Western culture get into those Eastern (Taoist, Hindu, Buddhist) practices for the purpose of self enhancement. People will meditate to control anxiety, to improve focus or to increase performance in some aspect of their lives. Very often the goal is one of personal improvement, or managing some kind of idealized growth/flourishing of the individual.

Most people here would probably deride the outlandish New Age ideas that grew out of the original Christian Science underpinnings of New Thought. But I find the basic premises of new thought to be the spiritual zeitgeist of the current age.

It's an interesting view of "democracy" that it is only "preserved" by restricting the franchise to people who are like you and agree with you on everything.
I am the person that made the claim, I am pretty sure I understand what I am trying to talk about.

This seems to a terminology / definitional problem we have, something I am trying to get beyond because like I said from the beginning a "union" in the US is not the same as a "Union" in the UK/EU, that is my point from the start

So when we have these international discussions and people from the UK/EU are aghast that anyone in the US would be opposed to Unions they are talking from what they understand from the Unions on their nation, which IS NOT what we have here in the US.

My attempts to convey the differences has failed with terminology issues and technicality gotchas largely due to a massive political bias in favor of unionization so any time anyone tries to convey a negative about a union is gets drowned out either by people not in the US that have no idea what a US Labor union really is like, or by people in the US that only understand the concept of a US Labor union but not the reality of it
Or it is someone who doesn't bother with the hassle of trying to sell things over the internet and ship them, etc for items worth less than $100. They're a SWE who is making $200k/yr, overworked, already have other hobbies and selling something on ebay for $100 just isn't worth the mental effort to them.

So they could very legitimately have half a dozen old electronic items worth around about $1,000 per item when they first start trying to sell things.
Makes sense, I'm a generalist, so I've much more competition.
This may be obtuse but in a company that is not fully wfh haven’t you already somewhat been outsourced?

> I realized how our phone has become a real integral part of our bodies

Almost: my phone shows my blood sugar level. Thus it's always in Bluetooth range.

Here's a very short review of the Dexcom G6 doing the actual measurement: the medical device is absolutely awesome, the mobile app / website / APIs are the most god awful thing I had the bad luck to work with in my three decades of using the web.
400 years ago:

"Equality is prevented by the misperception that sharing land with the Jamestown colony will harm the Algonquin tribes"

I shake my head whenever I see supposed scientists assert that everybody's incentives are aligned, defying both common sense and all of human history. The reality is competition and contention are readily observed in every domain of human life.

To me, articles like this are obvious political agitation.
Maybe no emergencies occurred because of the presence of these emergency call stations. (At least those perpetrated by other people, i.e. assaults, thefts, etc.—I presume potential perpetrators would be discouraged by the presence of these call stations.)

Creating a feeling of security is as important as creating security—you need both.
I like this perspective, and indeed, I recently had a physical job interview and it went like this: I bike to the train station, check when the next train will arrive and as I walk into the station (phone knows where I am, I just enter where I want to go), then prep for the interview on the train, Apple pay for a sandwich at a transfer station, check email for exact address, use navigation to walk to the final destination. I had a Teams call with colleagues on the train even.

It's all doable without smartphone, but the prep time and the notes and cash (or passes) I'd have to take...
Yep, that's exactly the question. All of this stuff is awesome when I'm trying to get a job done, but it peels a lot of the magic away from the world.

There are digital identity systems but you (or at least I) would want a trusted authority--like a government--in the process somehow. Some have a lot of hope for these systems but uptake has been fairly limited.

I believe you, but if there's any situation in which people should perhaps practice a more compassionate response, that was it.

Imagine if everyone had that response... I know it's fantasy, but I think that if you're studying mindfulness and compassion that's at least the direction you might want to be heading.
Wouldn't it have been better for the language itself to have made a decision rather than another group of people who are in the business of having strong, enforced decisions about what is allowed?

The language specifies that simple statements can be separated by semicolons. Black eliminates this part of the language, essentially overriding Guido's decision.

The language specifies that four different quoting characters are available. Black eliminates this part of the language, mandating double quotes in code and single quotes in a repr output, essentially overriding Guido's decision.

The language specifies that in-line comments can start anywhere on a line. Black eliminates the writer's option to line-up their comments vertically, essentially overriding Guido's language decision.

The language allows and PEP 8 encourages using whitespace to aid readers in reading mathematical expressions just like sympy and LaTex do: ``3x*2 - 2x +5``. Black eliminates this possibility and mandates equal spacing regardless of operator precedence: ``3 * x * 2 - 2 * x + 5``. Once again, this overrides Guido's judgment.

Wouldn't be better for Guido to decide what the language allows rather than have a downstream tool narrow the range of what is possible?
YouTube Go Is Shutting Down: Here's Everything You Need to Know
I’ve never heard anyone argue for callbacks. But the async/await problem isn’t entirely dead since folks still argue generators should be doing they job. They’re similar flavors of cooperative multitasking I guess. But callbacks.. they’re really hard to test without abusing entirely different parts of js. Not that promises are much better.
It depends. If you can be replaced at a cheaper cost, why wouldn't a company do it considering they can. The question is: What does it cost to replace someone and is it worth it ? Here is how I look at it:

There are 4 types of employees in a company.

1. "Should be partner" Players: You not only do a great job, add tremendous value but you think about the business and team and go out of your way to help improve things. You genuinely care not just about getting things done but long term success of the team/company etc. You live and breathe this thing. You wake up on a weekend thinking about work and how you can improve things. You should be like a partner ideally. Most large companies do not value you enough. If you ever slip, you hate yourself for that and want to frikin punish yourself for making that mistake. Your team not only loves to rely on you but they NEED you so bad.

If I have anyone in my company who is "Should be partner" player, you bet I will fight hard to give them whatever they want. I would keep them happy even before they want to be happy.

2. A Players: You are very good at your job, take things seriously, get shit done, genuinely participate BUT you have limits and cannot go beyond a certain level. You won't wake up on Saturday thinking about that enhancement you want to make. You are ok to wait till Monday. You hardly slip but if you do, you recognize it immediately and work on it. Your team loves to rely on you. You hardly need a reminder to do better.

If I have A Players in my company, I would do my best not to lose them.

3. B Players: You do the bare minimum to get by. You may sometimes need a kick up your butt to do a bit more but usually you do enough to not get noticed. People don't prefer to rely on you and if they have to, they are usually cautious. You need a bit more management and ensuring things are happening on your end and your team/manager needs to check on you on a regular basis.

4. C Players: You don't really do anything useful and either will get fired at some point or you are smart enough to hide yourself usually in a large organization. You couldn't care less about anything except a paycheck. No one can ever rely on you. Your team doesn't care about you. They wouldn't notice if you were gone.

So ask yourself: which player are you ? Sure, sometimes an A player could become a B Player etc but if you are wondering today, where do you stand ? If you are B or C, you can certainly be replaced with a cheaper option considering all else is same.
If anyone has one of these watches I’d be interested to hear your thoughts!
I suspect the result shown here is part of the broader tendency for people to only adopt the parts of things that make them "feel better".

Zen comes to America and it's adopted by self-absorbed people as a reason to be more like the self-absorbed people they want to be.

The advantaged of a well-thought out dogma is it can include things like a focus on compassion so that a tool doesn't just become another tool to help people rationalize their worst tendencies.

There are, of course, problems with dogmas, but I do encourage people to seek out things that challenge themselves rather than confirm their opinions and behavior.
And yet, when I talk to people about why they vote the way they do, or when I listen to campaign advertisements, I get the sense that actually the majority of votes cast are "protest votes" whereby one is voting for candidate X because they wish to express their hatred/disapproval/disdain of candidate Y.
I took "mint preliminary social capital" to mean, fundamentally, trust. The kinds of trust needed for a society to consent en masse to the collective capital project of (re-)industrializing are difficult to attain in the face of decaying material needs of the skilled labor force (if those skills even propagated forward to begin with.)

> I can throw a rock at a recruiter and they can find me plenty of “good enough” developers who can “hit the ground running” well enough to do your standard full stack CRUD app

But those developers might cost you quite a lot. My current employer has trouble hiring new people. Speaking with recruiters and hiring managers from a few companies (as I'm in the process of changing jobs) they told me it's hard to fill their positions.
Well yes and no. In the UK ebay has a monopoly. There are no other marketplaces that offer the same services and the same reach. That is why it should be regulated.

Little nitpick: "the algorithm" does not even find the things "most people wants"; it finds the things some executive or other decided it was the most convenient to find taking into account the needs of the corporation only. Yes, there is theoretically some way to return, up to some degree, what people would find useful; but the decisions are not made by the people fiddling with the algorithms. Those people have their hands tied and must follow the interests of someone who most of the time knows nothing about algorithms or people or the end product.
I think there's a simpler explanation--one completely overlooked by the authors. Many people are skeptical that the intended effects of government programs seeking to produce equality will be the actual effects. Is racially gerrymandering college admissions or small business loans or vaccine distribution going to produce non-zero sum gains that accrue to everyone? Who knows.

The results in the study can be explained by:

1) Nearly everyone, whether in the minority or the majority, believing that the majority will be harmed; and

2) People in the majority rationally opposing those policies based on that premise and people in the minority rationally supporting those policies based on that premise.

What about the actual contents of the publication or article in question?
You're welcome! If you look at "A Timeline of SSC Attacks" compiled and periodically updated by us, the trend is getting worse than better. To be blunt, the increased volume of these unwanted packages (whether research PoCs or malicious) in recent weeks can be and has been infuriating even for us to keep up with.

Whereas, previously only typosquatting or malware published to OSS repos might have been the primary concern, the recurring incidents today have diversified in both their type and quantity.

We now have to dedicate more time and resources to analyzing malicious packages that we'd have otherwise spent on hunting for zero-days or vulnerability research activities. These packages keep multiplying and it's become a whack-a-mole situation: every other day we report malware to the OSS repos, these get taken down, and the threat actor repeats the attack with slight variations a few days later. Additionally, copycat attacks follow, further increasing the number of malware incidents.

For example, other than typosquatting attacks, between last year and now we saw attackers hijacking legitimate libraries (ua-parser-js, coa, rc) or publishing tens of thousands of dependency confusion packages (A dependency confusion attempt against VMware VSphere SDK devs was just caught by us, along with 1000+ packages targeting Azure developers caught between March & April - our blog posts will explain it all.
We've thus far flagged well over 65,000 suspicious packages including malware, dependency confusion attacks, typosquats, PoC tests, etc.).

In 2022, we are met with self-sabotage and protestware incidents that are on the rise: colors/faker, node-ipc, event-source-polyfill, styled-components, es5-ext, ... These have further complicated matters, and pushed us to fine-tune our algorithms. We can now no longer trust the original developer of a library either, as they are free to change their mind on a whim (they always were).

As pioneers of a proactive solution behind dependency confusion attacks and a company that's been consistently leading OSS malware discoveries every week, I'm obviously biased but I'll say whatever solution you implement, make sure to have something in place to protect your dependencies, components, and supply chain against these novel attacks. Vulnerabilities like Log4Shell or Spring4Shell, as serious as they are, are just the tip of the iceberg when you look at the entire OSS threat landscape that's evolving.
