Yeah I used it on a MBP for months before I left my last job. It struggled when a lot of people had their camera on but it seemed to improve over time. I wonder if it has to do with OS version or something. I didn't love it, but for video meetings it worked well enough for me.
Why 7 years? Where does that number come from?

Apple usually provides software updates for their devices for about 5 years, for instance, which seems reasonable, since that's a common depreciation period as well.

You'd probably also be hard-pressed to find a significant number of people who own 7-year old phones. That's not to say those don't exist, just that they're probably not numerous enough to justify making this a generally applicable law.

> Elite nights are not earned with online travel agency bookings. For example, if you book through Expedia, you will not earn elite night credit (or points) for your stay. You also might not receive elite benefits during your stay, but some hotels have been known to offer them anyway as long as you add your Hilton Honors membership number to the reservation.

Yes this is different if you use a portal like Concur used for business travel. You can even put your personal loyalty code in and it shows up automatically -- at least through Hilton and Delta.
> neither DoorDash nor any other delivery service or in house delivery will deliver to me

Why?
Well, for one either you or the restaurant wanted Doordash to do that job, and Doordash isn't misrepresenting themselves as if they were working for the restaurant (without the restaurant's knowledge).

Of course, with that said, there was some service a few years ago (maybe it's Doordash?) that was generating landing pages and buying domains pretending they were the restaurant. But that's also very shady.
> Is this a reasonable tradeoff? Is it fair to others?

Devils advocate:

You word this in a way that implies it is negative, but the fact so many people do it suggests many or most people don’t agree with you. Maybe having cameras around makes the average person feel safe?

It sucks for you as a privacy minded individual, but ultimately who are you to tell your neighbors they can’t have cameras on their property? The street itself is public, there’s no implied right to privacy for what can be seen from the public road. Truthfully many American suburbs have only ever had privacy by chance, many places in more urban locales there’s always eyes from the public street. It’s just happened that because cars are efficient and convenient, nobody walks by or spends time on the sidewalk in the modern American suburb. That doesn’t mean they have no right to do so.
> For multiplayer there was the original UNet, then the FPS Multiplayer Demo stack, then HLAPI/MLAPI, now we're getting "Netcode for GameObjects".

This doesn't seem like the correct timeline of events. Anyway, if you want a clearer picture why they decided to throw the packages away, I recommend reading the source and/or trying to use them. For your reference: https://github.com/needle-mirror/com.unity.multiplayer-hlapi

> That also means their new tech stack rewrite for ECS won't get multiplayer support until they release "Netcode for ECS" at some later date.

Uhhhh? The package is literally right there. It's one of the very earliest ECS packages they published, I think. They also reaffirmed that the package is in active development internally. https://docs.unity3d.com/Packages/com.unity.netcode@0.51/man...

> There's stuff like buying Bolt and then depreciating it months later for Unity Visual Scripting.

Bolt is Unity Visual Scripting. I really don't know what you find so offending here (maybe except Unity's inability to develop their own tools in-house).

> It's like they have a ton of teams working on rewriting the engine but none of them communicate and often find out they've been rewriting the same feature as another team.

I can't come up with a single example of this. Unity occasionally has a tendency to develop a "vnext" tool while still supporting a "legacy" tool, which seems great for backwards compatibility (and for long-running projects), but it just keeps confusing people endlessly. I don't like Unity, but hell, I don't envy them for constantly having to deal with this shit either.
No, people who will do something about it.

Yes, VB as a language was terrible, in the same way that almost every BASIC is "terrible". There were some old ideas in the BASIC heritage that didn't age well. IIRC, it wasn't until VB6 that you no longer had to prefix string variables with $. But by that point there was an ecosystem issue of old documentation, legacy code, etc.

WinForms absolutely captured most of the same feel of VB6 from strictly the perspective of the tooling. I think it took a while to really catch on because, being a from-scratch rewrite, it took a while to gain complete feature parity, while also lacking the subcomponent market that a lot of VB6 projects had grown to rely on.

But then, GUI requirements also evolved. HighDPI displays, internationalization, accessibility, bigger and bigger projects needing better organizational methods. You can solve most of these issues in WinForms by being super fastidious about componentization, but it's not the happy path of just double-click-on-the-form-designer.

All of the XAML-based GUI systems that Microsoft developed since then have tried to invert that issue. They wanted to start people off by being considerate of componentization. Unfortunately, it came at the sacrifice of the usability of the tools.
I used contact lenses for many years, starting with RGPs when I was in high school and later switching to soft lenses. However, as I and my eyes have gotten old, I've found that wearing contacts for more than a few hours leads to eye pain, and switching to different brands or contacts with higher water content didn't really make a difference. So nowadays it's glasses-only for me.
I wish I could do this - I've asked my opticians if I can have lenses without the coating, but they've said that the lenses automatically come coated and there's nothing they can do. Which seems pretty strange given that the lenses are made to order, now that I think about it. Maybe it's something about the way they order the lenses in, where there's simply no spot to ask for no coating, and they don't want to / aren't allowed to pick up the phone?

>The reason I like Common Lisp is not because it has been influential

But that's not what I was saying, I wasn't saying that you should like those languages, I was saying that Common Lisp is not special compared to them and nobody is specifically "re-inventing" it, it's a pretty vanilla (by 2000s standards) language descended from a 1960 grandpa.

>my personal quality metric

How would that convince anyone who is not you ?

>To me, making programming as easy as possible is the whole point of high level languages

Lisp syntax fails spectacularly on this one, it's painful and tedious, it forces you think about the explicit nesting between structures, like how assembly forces you to explicitly think about data flow between instructions. In any sane programming language, you just write a+b, in lisp, it's (+ a b). A bizarre 1980s-calculator world where you have to think carefully about every operation and read it outloud. It can be gotten used to with experience off course, but it's not effortless, it's far from the language making it easy for you.

The entire point of conrete syntax and grammars is that the compiler builds the syntax tree for you, you just lay out a nice and readable specification of it in the mathematics\english mixed notation that is most programming languages, and the parser infers all the dependencies in the implicit tree structure and builds it for you. Lisp inverts this relationship, making you into a human parser that translates your own ideas into its simplistic notation. S-Expression is a 1960s hack to simplifiy parsing.

>The only real innovation in programming languages since Common Lisp is static type inference.

This dismissal shows an astonishing ignorance of PL design and history. Haskell lets you design your own control structures with lazy evaluation. Perl6\Raku has first class support for BNF grammars built right into the language. Both languages doesn't treat operators as special and let you define arbitary unicode symbols as operators and control their precedence and associativity, enabling unparalled DSL development. OCaml has a module system that represents code as first class structs and runs arbitary functions to transform them at compile time.

Ironically for the community that invented the "Blub Paradox", CL programmers have an unfortunate syndrom of the Blub Programmer. "CL is all I know, therefore CL is all I need and the most powerful language in existence".

>Yeah, that is not necessarily a good thing

I wasn't saying it's necessarily a good thing, I was saying it (and Python, and Groovy) beats Lisps in dynamicity, which was once (and sometimes still is) a common selling point that lisp advocates repeat.

>Also, Ruby can't change its surface syntax. Common Lisp can.

Plenty of others can, some with systems that are not inspired from lisp. I mentioned some of them in a point that you skipped right over.

It's the phone I would buy if I was still on Android - it's the first Android phone I've seen in years with a design I actually like.

I had Nexus phones prior to switching to the iPhone 5 when it finally had LTE and turn by turn nav. The Samsung Galaxy Nexus was a piece of shit (imo) and damaged the brand for me. Nokia hardware was always cool, but Microsoft buying them ended that at the time. The Google Pixel phones you'd think would be the natural choice, but they've always had mid-range mediocre hardware, questionable design elements, and limited update support.

This could be more likely viewed as a über-rich person who toyed with a company, its investors & stockholders in bad faith. From the 62-page lawsuit document, Twitter seems to have complied with his ever-increasing demands for auditing the bot/spam problem although he acted so confident to waive off the due diligence. They gave him access to the firehose, but his demands for Twitter to give exact numbers instead of the more accepted statistical MAU metrics is purely insane. Twitter would have to audit each non-verified user to comply with most of Musk's unreasonable requests.

When $TSLA went south, he seems to have realized Twitter purchase was bad idea & he would lose both ways - by reduced Tesla marketcap & buying Twitter at $54.20 per share (in an infantile attempt to put 420 meme Easter egg) for $44B. And he would have to commit more of his shares given the falling stock situation. If he manages to buy Twitter, the growth isn't going to recover his costs for a very long time (that economics merits a separate HN thread).

He announced something on a whim, then the 'correction' happened as a reality check, and he is throwing every fuss as a teenager high on sugar rush to not go ahead although he is legally obliged to.
Binaries are freely available from package management repos, with the benefit of having a known toolchain you can tag your ML inputs with. All the package managers I've worked with have a strongly structured "upstream" or "repo" field or similar that you can use to get to the source.

The 15 and 14 deaths were deaths of all causes, not deaths due to Covid.

During the blinded, controlled period, 15 BNT162b2 and 14 placebo recipients died; during the open-label period, 3 BNT162b2 and 2 original placebo recipients who received BNT162b2 after unblinding died. None of these deaths were considered related to BNT162b2 by investigators. Causes of death were balanced between BNT162b2 and placebo groups

Here’s the statement about efficacy against severe Covid

Of 31 cases of severe, FDA-defined COVID-19 with onset post-dose 1, 30 occurred in placebo recipients, corresponding to 96.7% VE (95% CI 80.3-99.9) against severe COVID-19.

So, the vaccinated arm had a single severe Covid case, which may or may not have ended in the death of the patient, we are not told. But certainly, not more than one of the 15 deaths in the vaccinated arm can be attributed to Covid.

I did use Tailwind. I read the book as well, just to really be sure I wasn't missing something. I hear the cries of "Tailwind fixed so much of my hatred for CSS" all over Reddit/HN/Twitter/etc and I really don't get it. At this point, I really chalk it up to "people want to be in the in-crowd". I'm sorry for those who really are experiencing a better quality of life. For me, I remember Bootstrap and how insane it was to remember all these utility class name (some with numbers to represent values that one might add to a CSS rule)

But I get that people DO seem to love it... for whatever reason. I am just against adding it to a project as "the default". I get that it's just "one line to remove it" but it reminds me of the days when projects just included Lodash, jQuery and Bootstrap because... "everyone's using them anyway".
Yes I am aware of that they can read the password (if not in memory).

These friends are not very technical, and the purpose is that I use their device to fill in the complex password. It would take much longer if I were to spell it out, and its likely they would make typos. By handing me their device, its a sense of trust doing so. In return, I give internet access.
This is not Teams; it's the last gen of Mac.

There is a process (can't remember the name) that is kicked in when the temperature reaches a certain level. The job of this process is to turn down the processor. Unfortunately it consumes more more process time when it does this because it preempts everything. So the temperature goes up, which creates more interruptions and so on and so on.

The core reason is that the temperature sensor is just next to the power supply and so is kicking in too early.

The solution - unplug the mac. Let it cool down completely and then run it with the power plugged in on the other side.
Why CP/M didn't have directory separators, and what if it had got them?
At least that I can understand. It has implications on right of way, usage, easements, property values, etc. without even getting into issues of adverse possession (which combined with property value issues can become real trouble).

The line between "please don't point your camera onto my property" - something I would respect as a courtesy regardless of the law - and "I'm going to cross the street not to interact with this person" goes straight through mental illness in my opinion. Normal, stable people do not behave that way.

Who would be dumb enough to pay $20.46 for that?

I looked at my most recent receipt for something more realistic: A $12 (in store) pizza was listed on doordash at $14.25 and I paid $17.30 in app with the Chase CSP discount. I guess not everyone has the card, but IMO it’s financially irresponsible not to.

Note that this restaurant is a 20 minute drive each way. Even if I worked minimum wage ($15/hr in CA) it would have cost me a lot more ($10 time + $5 gas!) to pick it up myself.
Android 11 is nice. The permissions removal, autofill apps, ab updates are probably the current most loved features. Plus the nice feature from lineageos for unlocking the phone with an pin, where the numbers are randomly sorted.

If i count of features i am waiting will be: better support for thirdparty appstores, mic and camera toggle/indicator.

Your argument is obviously what has been normalized in REST APIs, but it's not user friendly AND it's OP's whole point. He built his entire article -- and apparently his APIs -- around avoiding 404 ambiguity.

If you hit an endpoint and get a 404... did you do it wrong? Is my documentation outdated?

Even better: What recourse do you have? how do you figure out the answer?

Your only recourse is to email me. Send me cURL commands and screenshots and sit on your thumbs until I write back.

IMHO the REST folk were blinded by the existing 404 normalcy set up by web servers.

...

personally I think OP's idea isn't great. I think returning 200 and making me parse the response and hoping it's consistent between services is too much work compared to the simplicity of the HTTP response.

Instead, I'd change the default from 404 to 501.

HTTP 501 - not implemented (URI is not working)
HTTP 404 - resource not found (Joe doesn't exist in db)
7 was just a figure. 5 would already be a significant improvement where many vendors don't even offer 3 years after the devices were sold last.

I am fully aware that 7 year old phones are not common. My point is that the current rate of obsolescence is not sunstainable from an ecological standpoint, so this has to change.

I've been wearing glasses for about 20 years. I've gotten a new pair pretty much every year. Every single time I've gotten a new pair, I was given the offer for coatings as addons, never once did a shop in the midwest or east coast just tell me "they come with coatings". Are you in the US?
Looking at most Ring videos, they don't seem very useful for tracking anyone down, more of a "yes, a porch pirate stole your stuff." Their position is such that the license plate -- assuming they even come in via a vehicle -- is visible. Plate readers need to be in a different place, with a different aim.

Plus, Rings are wireless, and too many thieves are just using a wireless jammer.
Its ironic to me that science fiction writers assumed that people would prefer video to audio-only for regular conversations, but now that just about everyone has the option of video for every call (if they're using a smartphone) they still usually prefer audio-only, or even better yet text (which is even lower bandwidth than audio).
