My iPhone SE is the 2nd gen one. I love this phone, despite some ocasional lags when I try to do some app switch or when I try to take a picture suddenly. Is anyone here facing these same problems? I really enjoy this phone, but seems Apple is trying to force me to make an unnecessary upgrade.
so if you have 100k in the bank and someone falls on your property and sues, you can withdrawal all the money? I don't think it works that way. If you lose it will show intent to hide money.
Congrats. I think retool could be great, and I really wanted to use it for our internal tooling, but we operated in Australia and the lag was just nuts. Latency was over 1 second for a page view, compared to ~10ms for a locally hosted UI - it was unusable, and there didn’t seem to be any way to get a local server instance.

Hopefully this is something money can fix :)

the problem was the sum of UI latency to US(?) plus latency of serial API calls to get the data. We could probably have lived with a full rendering time of 100ms or so, but responsiveness requirements don’t scale linearly. So with a few round trips, it quickly became insurmountable.
It doesn't matter — even if it started entirely as an accident— the vendor's failure to promptly address it, and the fact that that failure is a systematic property of their operation, puts them into the outrageous category.

It's like when you're on hold for 20minutes hearing recordings about long wait timed due to "high call volume".

No, it is not high call volume, it is the damn company systematically understaffing the call center and overloading their workers to extract more money and externalize more costs onto their customers.

We should avoid doing business with them if possible.
> The prevalence of digital technology means that companies like Apple and Google imposing their values is a real problem. And let's be clear, these are often very parochial values.

And sadly, beneath all the headlines about AI sentience, this is what Blake Lemoine was actually trying to draw attention to, and that executives consistently dismiss these kinds of concerns [1].

What of the consequences when these corporate values become embedded in AI that plays an ever greater role in our lives?

congratulations! this is very cool. do you have single GPU instances with more than 16 GB of GPU memory? we use AWS and oracle now.
Yes! That was it. There was a blog post too with the estimated markup: https://blog.cloudflare.com/aws-egregious-egress/
i have a 6S and only had 1 battery change, and that was on apple, since mine was recalled for a defective battery problem.

as noted in my other comment, i'd be ok with a full screen version of this phone if they put the home button on the side and keep the fingerprint scanner (in button or in screen) and leave off the front facing camera (pinhole camera is acceptable too, but not a notch). i'd prefer to keep the headphone jack, but that's probably asking too much of apple.
EdgeDB does not use Postgres RLS, access rules are injected into every query by the query compiler instead. This side-steps the RLS gotchas and limitations (RLS does not allow aggregates in rules, EdgeDB does), but also yields somewhat better query performance.
Iberian peninsula suffers from a long and unique history of religious warfare; maybe they wanted you to slip a few hundred $CURRENCY to the staff to go further?
First, it assumes that resources is the only dimension here which is incorrect. History is full of failures of well-resourced, and practically unrestrained security services. Second, safety is not a set of just "on", and "off" states. It's a game of probabilities.
So who gets to define "pollutant" and "cost"?

That kind of exercise is far more likely to get kinetic than defining "truth" (or whatever) because it is more directly linked to peoples livelihoods and standards of living.
Or that the USA will eventually catch up with the more advanced nations. Actually even if everybody regressed to the mean it would be a step up for the States.
This is true, and thanks for reminding me about chichen itza, but I just wanted to emphasize how blurry the cultural lines are to the people around me - at least where I am in the Appalachias. My city has Mayans with Mayan restaurants. Not too long ago though, a kid told me he had thought the Mayans all died out, like the Romans he said.

Sorry, this is all kinda tangential. That kind of blurriness is something I'm super interested in.
I love my 13 mini and it’s easily my favorite iPhone since the 5.

The only thing missing is the zoom. Wish they replaced the useless 0.5x lens with the 2x. Everything else about this phone is perfect

That's an interesting point. This was written before climate change was a major concern, and maybe in the mean time it's become harder to engage in "intelligent behavior" (i.e. actions which benefit ourselves and others).

I would say, though, that in almost all cases, emitting CO2 is more like bandit behavior than stupid behavior. If I drive 100 miles in my car, I probably benefit from that a lot more than the harm I cause directly to myself by emitting that CO2, which is almost certainly negligible.

You could make the case that it's B2 Bandit behavior (harm caused to everyone collectively is greater than the benefit to myself), but that would depend on why I made the car trip and how much benefit I got.

One could make the case that with climate change, human civilization as a whole is suffering because individually we're mostly engaging in B2 behavior. You might say that humanity is acting stupidly, but that would require us to define who the "other" is: non-human life? People who haven't been born yet? Space aliens?

There is no 'outside of accessibility' - or shouldn't be.
Great post! I loved this reading. Btw, I'm Brazilian too. :D
Despite me writing how Optane doesn't have a sustainable business case for 5+ years, It is still sad to see it being wind down. An interesting and cool tech.

It will be interesting to see if Samsung will discontinue its Z-NAND product lineup.
This is sad to see. I was excited by the idea that 3D XPoint research might put us on the path towards memristors, but it seems like the tech is likely too "early" to easily sell.

By that I mean: Computers are built around the idea of RAM being volatile. Having it stay populated on reboot is weird -- that's the job of the disk today.

Writing applications that have one shared, unified space for storage and memory isn't something that any tool chain does today (afaik). There is too much legacy and not enough incentive to lean in on this.

I hope somebody figures out how to take this tech to production. I'd love if my phone weren't chewing battery keeping DRAM alive all the time.
Well, the recent EU regulations are certainly going to force a change in Apple's behaviour.
> If you answer (A) it's wrong, because nowadays fridges have more constant temperature. Okay, let's try (D) since it's the only answer that refers to a fridge... nope, that would dry it out. It's (C), which doesn't refer to a fridge at all.

Wow, that seems especially bad if the goal is to help get people into home cooking. I eat a lot of cheeses, and practically none of them are stored in parchment paper and foil!

I'm willing to believe that might be the optimal way to store cheese, but is it how basically anyone at home stores cheese?!

It seems counterproductive to insist to novice home cooks that to "properly" make a cheeseburger that they store their cheese in the same exacting standards as a cheesemonger? This seems like it will work against the goal of making home cooking less intimidating and more approachable.
Except much of it is in places that are relatively hard to access, have no amenities, have exceptionally harsh weather, and may not have sufficient water to sustain a population. It's also stuck in the catch-22 of no jobs, no houses.
Also, it retains TouchID which is superior to FaceID despite being considered a less premium feature. I also rock and love my iPhone SE.
Conspiracy theorists have been saying this for at least a year. On the basis of primary source data.

Still, its surprising to see comments like this on HN - stuff like that is usually flagged and downvoted.

Which is a problem if you want to get real information and there really is a conspiracy. And this is a possibility. Mainstream sources are plainly politicised and owned by a very small, 'elite' section of society - they will not say what needs to be said - their paychecks, training and editors prevent this. So...

The conspiracy world seems far closer to the truth nowadays, with a deeper, more meaningful take on reality that attempts to explain what is going on, than anything you can find on a TV or mainstream source.

> The carbon in plants is largely atmospheric.

I think the issue is that we’re artificially increasing feed crop yields with massive use of synthetic fertilizer. And beef is a very inefficient use of those resources.

I don’t know if bugs is the solution, but when our answer to everything is “more gas!” I’m willing to entertain and try alternatives.
It's interesting to read the details, because:

> Teacher candidates must have a minimum of 60 college credits with a 2.5 GPA, and also must receive a passing score on the FLDOE subject area examination for bachelor’s level subjects.

And...

> Veterans must have a minimum of 48 months of military service completed with honorable/medical discharge. If hired by a school district, they have to have a teaching mentor.

So, this is not just dropping some rando off the street into a classroom. Plus, the article points out that some of the teachers don't seem as concerned with the program itself, so much as concerned with what they see as more root-cause, systemic issues.

Plus it's an application process, not just cutting a new path around every school district filter to make some kind of emergency veteran-surge happen.

And on top of that, there's not exactly a sign-up surge:

> The Alachua County public school district currently has more than 60 teaching vacancies. Since the law passed, no veterans or spouses have applied to the school district for a job, spokeswoman Jackie Johnson said.

Seems like it's only been a week or so (?) but still, if the program was really that great, one might expect at least somebody to have applied in that time...
Engineering should never sign off on the salesperson's contract without believing it's worth it.

And a principle of good management is that the situation symmetrical: if the engineering is impossible it's the responsibility of the person who signed off on it, not the team trying to deliver.
It's understandable that someone would reach that conclusion if all they observed was the J6 committee hearing videos. But on a day-to-day basis, people are behaving essentially the way they always have. People still call in zoning violations expecting issues to get resolved, and they still jaywalk. Nobody's asking for a bribe to install the cable.
I use Speedify frequently with an incumbent fiber provider, StarLink, and T-Mobile. Highly recommend.
The 6S is now out of software update range. You need at least an 8 for iOS 16.

Within two years most apps will probably stop supporting iOS 15 so you’ll start having issues.

It’s obviously served you great, but it might be time. And the difference in performance (CPU and camera) will floor you. Plus wireless charging is awesome.
I think I am the luckiest person ever because I have thousands of uploaded music files (all converted to ALAC if they weren't already in MP3) and have never had a problem listening to them on any of my devices. The Music app reads the metadata the files already had and I've been able to import lyrics and the like without an issue. It all even works properly on Apple Music for Android, when I briefly had to carry an Android phone for work.

Plus, I can edit the metadata for tracks that come from Apple Music to my own tastes so I can tag that a song from the service is one version while my copy of it is a different version.

For me, Music is one of those things I hope Apple never "modernizes" because I feel like a lot of this nerd-level functionality would be lost in a major rewrite. It's certainly light years ahead of Spotify's truly pathetic "local files" function.
The lack of fingerprint sensor on latest iPhones is very disappointing. My trusty MotoZ4 has it directly in the screen and I love it so much that I refuse to buy myself any other phone that doesn't have fingerprint sensor on the front panel or built in the screen.

It was cool to see your name when reading the post. I follow Manual do Usuário on Twitter and I liked it a lot. The podcast is great as well. Congrats on your work!

I am also very happy with my iPhone SE 2nd gen. I only migrated from Android to iOS after they launched a cheap and small model.
You are missing the point. The whole thread is about the fact, that most people will be unable to afford a BEV and cheap ICE won't be available because arbitrary reasons. Those people will then actively vote for populists and they will put a brake or even reverse the green policies.

It is so patently ridiculous, when you are trying to sell old junk BEV as a superior product, while it can't even remotely do what previous ICE with similar age was able to do. People does not understand why they should use inferior product - junk BEV with burnt out battery - and that's the reason why they will be actively detracting any kind of green effort, because current policies are leaving those people behind. Frankly it seems to me that majority of society will be left behind by insensitive and expensive green policies.
Also a huge fan of the iPhone SE and will keep buying them until they stop making them. Don’t take my thumb print away from me!!! I write a lot and it’s slightly faster to unlock via thumb (when it works) than face. Also it works in the dark, eg, when you think of something in the middle of the night or when your face is covered.

The only way to beat thumbprint is authentication via nfc, for example using a biometric chip in your hand, but that’s not palatable for most ;).

Posted on a SE gen 2
i'd put the button where the thumb lands on the right side (even though i'd personally prefer the left, most people would prefer the right). i do love that i can put my phone upside down in my back pocket and lift it out with my thumb on the button and have it be open to the home screen when it's face up in front of me.

my plan is, i'm gonna use this thing until it dies! =) but no, i'll probably upgrade next year, as the 6S no longer gets ios updates as of this year but i see no need to upgrade quite yet. i'm not sure if i'll get a 13 mini (assuming no more minis to come) or splurge and get a 15 (that i don't really need, but it'll be new and shiny and irresistable).

Those trucks are human driven.
Pizza travels well, is still good (maybe better) after it cools a bit (but still warm), and has enough volume demand for delivery.

Burgers are ok a bit cold but still warm, but fries are not.

A pizza place with a driver on staff can do route planning and coordination so maybe the pizzas for a group of three deliveries near each other come out of the oven around the same time, hopefully right as the driver gets back from their previous run.

That's harder to do with McDonald's. And if there's much of a wait, the fries show up cold and it's a bad experience.

Yes, this is something our infra team is working on right now. As of today, somebody in Australia, with a database hosted in Australia, experiences two round-trips in order to get data (client => our backend => database => our backend => client). We are working on deploying our database connector in far more regions so this won't be a problem. I think ETA is ~next two months? Will check in with team now...

An alternative is our self-serve on-premise product: https://retool.com/self-hosted/, which you can host in your own EC2. Given this latency issue is our fault, if you want a discount, just reach out to me; I'm david AT. Happy to provide a discount until we go multi-region with our backend.

That would've read better if you'd tried to respond to what I actually wrote instead of letting your tribal instincts get the better of you.

> Oh that's right that thing you say you couldn't find and I must have made up, is in fact in the same sentence that you pointed me to.

I didn't say I couldn't find it, you've pointed to a different sentence (I referenced page 122, the quote you've given is from page 118, that would be a loooong sentence), so why are you writing that? Yes, you seem to be making things up or reading things second hand that distort the actual text that I've given you a link to.

So, take a breath, read what I wrote again and respond to that, and try it with the attitude of charity[1] and (the buzzword of the moment) good faith, because I'm not really that interested in whether American women can get abortions or not as I'm not American nor a woman. Mindless tribalism isn't going to lead to a good conversation.

I am interested in the law (mainly English common law and its derivatices), and people making claims that will stand up to scrutiny. Yours, thus far, do not.

I so hoped this would be about HPs purchase of Autonomy:

Autonomy was acquired by Hewlett-Packard (HP) in October 2011. The deal valued Autonomy at $11.7 billion (£7.4 billion). Within a year, HP had written off $8.8 billion of Autonomy's value. HP claimed this resulted from "serious accounting improprieties" and "outright misrepresentations" by the previous management.

Declining population growth is in all ways a positive. Rising population is a good thing to essentially linearly improve nominal GDP, but does little to improve per capita GDP. Other than that nominal GDP bump I struggle to see any positive associated with population growth. Most people put off having kids because, effectively, people are living much longer and it’s economically easier to have kids older. Effective contraception, sexual education, extended life spans, and a general social acceptance that children aren’t the mark of a successful life are IMO primary contributors to that decline.

I would note in my own life we waited a long time to have a kid because we wanted to be engaged in our careers early on. Once we had a kid we decided to stop simply because we enjoyed the focus on our daughter and didn’t see having a ton of kids as a social imperative. That puts our family at below replacement rate. My experience isn’t particularly unique among the parents I know, and we are actually younger than many.

I know all of the above is anecdotal and conjecture, but I’m fairly confident if I did my normal citation and data collection I would largely be supported (having seen the data and analysis in the past) but I’m sick and have too little energy right now.

Apple's services benefit hugely from being built into the OS. If you're pro-Apple you would say that's just enjoying the benefits of vertical integration, and on the other hand if you're a regulator you would say that's illegal bundling (a la Microsoft w/ IE in the late 1990s).
