> What really blew my mind was that if you pushed harder anywhere on the keypad it would go into trackpad mode and you could move the cursor in the text you were typing and quickly edit, delete, and fix things.

One thing that annoyed me quite much when I received my6S Plus was that fixing typos felt clunky (couldn't move the cursor not that easy as before).

If I just would have known that 2 years earlier, I would still have a lot more colorized hair... I love that feature!
This is kind of like looking at a race car and wondering how anything else can compete. First off, Unity and Godot have different license models from Unreal. There's room just based on that. Moreover, a lot of the fancy new stuff doesn't run well or at all on mobile, a huge segment of the market. I'm not saying Unity or Godot have it easy but there's still a lot of room in the market.
It's no faster than RELU in either direction, which is the most common choice.
I have this same question and also work in Django, so I think I know what OP is asking about.

Django's code leans heavily into advanced Python features like metaprogramming. To use Django, you don't need to understand it, but once you start customizing things or building on what Django provides, you need to read through Django's code to understand it. And if you don't know things like metaprogramming, you'll get lost quickly.

There's not a lot of great resources for intermediate Python developers to learn these concepts. I tried reading Fluent Python but found it difficult to follow. I then checked out Learning Python 5th Ed., which is a little dated at this point, but has some good chapters on metaprogramming at the end.

That's basically how I started to get my arms around these advanced Python features to be able to understand Django's codebase a little better.
IOS’s swipe from the bottom (and left-right for basically alt-tab) is genius in my opinion. Not sure how true is it, but the designers of the then new iphone caught themselves multiple times trying to swipe gesture on their older, home-buttoned devices.

While I don’t believe a sufficiently complex UX could be totally intuitive (it can at most depend on existing knowledge of similar devices), it does extend the app as a physical rectangle idea very well, the animation strengthens the memory, and the movement becomes second-nature in no time.

(Also, credit where it’s due, I believe this feature was first introduced by Palm?)
Windows is a specific set of skills that takes a lot of people to do properly at any scale. The dedicated resources required are essentially a drain on the whole of IT. My company also bans Windows for the same reasons.

I am also interested in & open to roles within the tech/SaaS space, among a variety of others.
very cool product - congrats!

do you ever wonder if similar to the college application process, trying to "gamify" the promotion process doesn't actually lead to a competitive company?

to be more clear, do you think that by training people to think of trying to get promoted as something they need to learn, rather than come by naturally, we're teaching people to follow XYZ funnel in order to attain ABC goal, at the expense of promoting people naturally?

the reason i mention the college application process is because it's clear that's what that accomplishes today, as someone who recently went through it. there's a set of predefined formulas that can get you into an elite school, and they become more and more limited in scope as you become more and more limited demographic-wise, so everyone "learns" from prep academies, consultantnts, etc., the _exact_ right way to structure your application to get in.

i still feel like i'm not clear, so i'll rephrase it as, do you think this sort of "teaching" leads to the right people getting promoted/accepted for the company/college (for long-term success)?
Accounting has a clear career path though...english doesn't. Unless things have dramatically changed since I graduated college.
"just write more code" is terrible advice and I'm not sure why I see it so much, that's how you end up with 1 year of experience 10 times vs 10 years of experience.

How does that compare to the Chinese government having a map of your house at all? Honestly though, if the livestream was only viewable in China I’d be fine. Certainly much more comfortable with that than it being viewable in the us.
With Unity the general wisdom seems to be to lock in one version for each project, and only update when you start a new project.

Which I guess isn't the worst? Sure, better forwards and backwards compatibility would be better, but this way you get more features quicker and more coherently, at the downside of not getting any improvements during development

"All the way" is just moving the finger a couple of cm. The main difference is that 3d touch instantly activated the touchpad, now there is a small delay of 0.25s. Not a bad compromise if it means removing some hardware.
> the Emirates cannot trade with Israel

This is no longer true. The UAE normalised relations with Israel, almost two years ago[0]. There are even Israeli VCs, like Entree Capital, funding startups in the UAE.

There are couple of CI/CD systems being produced by startups that aim to fill that role, based on BuildKit/Docker. For now, Nix is still way better than they are in many ways, with the notable exception of Windows support.

Maybe visible interest in them can push forward Nix community developer interest in polishing Nix for the same use cases.
It's very interesting to read the responses to dannysullivan.

HN users need to understand: You are not a representative demographic. If they include results that only include words you typed, Google search will objectively degrade for the majority of non-HN folks. Even I sometimes find what I'm looking for because I didn't know the correct words, but Google presented me with docs with words of similar meaning.

As dannysullivan pointed out, Google is providing you with the tools to do what you want: Just put the words in quotes if it really, really has to include it.

My beef with Google is it returns too many results. I get that by including similar words in the results we'll dramatically increase the number, but I really shouldn't get 1M results for many things I type. Anything after the first 100 or so is almost always completely irrelevant to what I was searching for.
> Some people just want Taiwan free from the CCP.

The whole point of Taiwan's stance is that "Are the people of Taipei/Taiwan broadly Chinese, as a matter of culture and national history?" and "Should Taiwan be free from the CCP?" can in fact be separate questions. To many Taiwanese, support for "Taiwan independence" would be tantamount to denying their history and self-experienced identity. A very real sort of oppression.
isn't UUID v7 basically ULID? So you can just use UUID v7 for same effect
> is invading if Taiwan abandon the stance.

That is never the truth. They threat for armed attack like since forever 'everyday'. To the point people here just outright ignore their claim and do their daily work.

If somebody even be serious about that. Then they would need live in the air-raid shelter everyday. But who would do that?

Hell no, in my 30 years of live, I have nothing to do with PRC at all except saw them on the TV that they will never give up attacking Taiwan.

Glastonbury in the early 90s — before The Fence went up, and while Travellers still got free entry — was pretty iffy in terms of safety.

A lot of the demonisation of travellers at the time was apocryphal in the end. It feels like a community that is well and truly over except for the kind of Native Reservation that is Croissant Neuf, a place where middle class teenagers can gawp at the dreadlocked cider drinking crusty savages.

You missed Reading off your list. The first time I went to that festival, in the 2000s, was fascinating. I remember being astonished at how combustable solid human waste was when confined in a long drop toilet. Once the “water” content had been boiled off by the initial tire fire it would really start to burn. Jaw dropping.
The same way we regulate toilet flush volume in the US.

Over time I'd expect that they legislate in custom-to-spain thermostats that simply don't go lower than 27.
You're an optimistic person. In reality people are returning to flying and it's returning to previous levels and surely will surpass them too. All administrations, save for a really ideological one, will not retard flying other than some added taxes --but all the large countries and economic areas support their airline industries: see China, they do strict lockdowns. Will we see them curb airtravel significantly?

Low multiples of compensatory damages would be more accurate.
I dont think anyone is being negative at least not the top level comments i read. I like nix but i gave it a test run at my company and no one could figure out how to make any change that wasn’t a copy and paste of what i had done.

The docs don’t help much unless you really go diving into them and most people who just want the software to run don’t want to spend the time learning it. I don’t blame them.

This is a very valid criticism of any software. Its why things like docker (containerization) win out even when it was technically around for years before. Someone made it easy to use so people used it.
As a non-aware, are you talking mostly about citizens of Middle East countries?
You are missing an important point: engineers want to use the tools that work best for them. They don’t care much about the things they can’t see. Taking a job with a super restrictive IT environment that would prevent me from doing my job effectively would be a deterrent to work for that company. I know many people who feel similar to this. The opportunity cost of not being able to hire those people or giving them other incentives to alleviate those concerns is easily orders of magnitude more expensive than just buying a device management as a service solution for other OSes.

I’ve rarely seen people being very enthusiastic Windows users btw.

No - it is a great idea and will eventually work. A massive demand for this service doesn't really exist yet - so Helium is struggling. IOT devices everywhere are not here yet.

In other words: arc of history nonsense. What should have been clear and is clear if you think about human nature for two seconds or that CCP interests do not represent Chinese interests.

Why?

Because it’s a single-party dictatorship and because the interests of the State are subordinate to the interests of the people who control the State. That’s true in America too, which is why we have elections and transfers of power, and though our elections are fair and free by a reasonable metric, the deck is still stacked in favor of those who already have power. The PRC has nothing resembling the peaceful transfer of power and therefore the only means of transferring power within the PRC as it is constituted today are less than peaceful.

> Plenty of companies have successful products with hardware that you consider beneath you.

That's a crazy emotional statement and a completely wrong interpretation of what was written!

I'm saying these are features that are so cutting edge they can't even be packaged in mainstream hardware... and you transformed that into me calling them "beneath me" because you're rationally interpreting what I write? Or emotionally responding without comprehending. The latter no?
Sigh. I really sympathize with this, and I totally think that analog is not dead and will never die. And vinyl records!

Despite that, I find that in own writing, I always think I'm going to initiate it on paper, but then I start writing fragments on the computer, thinking about them, revising, etc. etc. I lay it aside & think about it, and then revise some more. In the end, I think it's about as creative as pen-and-paper.

I hope. I should try the pen again just to make sure.

Three.js is a 3d graphics library, not a game engine. You can use it to render your game but it doesn't bring the same things as Unity or Babylon.

I have often worked directly with an html canvas and some javascript to make 2d web games. It works well for me and I enjoy it, but I wouldn't call it a "game engine" either.
I believe it was removed in big part due to being a relatively big energy drain. With that in mind, I don’t believe it was a bad decision, even though I liked the feature as well. (Though probably with additional R&D on the topic, it could have been improved)
Is there a good shared calendar as well?

As one of the biggest rock bands in the world at the time should do. That's the point of a rock concert (especially a hard rock/metal show). Some level of chaos/destruction should be expected.

I don't really understand where this notion that everything needs to be bubble-wrapped came from (that's partially a lie, as it clearly comes from culture getting too obsessed with safety combined with the loss of nuance). A few years back I was in the mosh pit at a Nine Inch Nails show and bumped into a girl (during this song [1]) who was standing right in the front at the middle. She gave me a dirty look and all I could think to shout was "you're in the front row at a f*cking Nine Inch Nails concert."

There is two different things here, “advanced” Python that applies to webdev, and other areas of Python (data science, ML). Three things I would recommend:

1. As a Django dev dig deep into Django’s internals, there is loads to learn from its codebase, particularly meta classes in the orm and form frameworks. The template engine is also highly complex. Try building a tool that scratches your own itch with Django, and integrate it deeply using some of the techniques Django uses. Read lots of its code, work out how it works.

2. I think a good project to explore other areas of Python would be a web scraping then data processing project. Find something that interest you, build a scraper that extracts LOADS of data from the web or a specific site about it. Then analyse that data using NumPy and Pandas. It will teach you a bunch of new tools.

3. If you are interested in ML there a loads of interesting academic projects that have released their code on GitHub. Find one that, again, interests you (image processing, text generation, computer vision), download it, get it running, and then modify it to do something else. Or package it as a web app or something. You will learn loads about how these tools work.

>they'll be able to collect objective evidence that can be verified by 3rd parties.

Really? Do you actually think a random person you grab off the street could, on their own, be able to do all the necessary forensic analysis necessary to detect an implant? Hell, we haven't even managed to get our hands on the NSO implant, we usually only end up with the first few stages of the exploit because the rest gets covered up. Even when we do get these exploit stages, it often takes days or weeks for experienced engineers to tear them apart and really understand what's going on. These sorts of things are absolutely not trivial and I have zero expectation that anyone could so easily drum up evidence proof of compromise on their own.
Another solution is simply "don't have a war with your trading partners".

There are several good things that are currently coming out of microsoft:

Windows is probably not one of them.
