> In person we can quickly sketch diagrams and wireframes out on a whiteboard or paper and having a six person debate about designs is easy. Remotely, you have to deal with virtual whiteboard software (and as much as I love figjam, it can’t compare to the speed of a physical pen) and video chat (where even a tiny amount of latency results in people talking over each other).

Getting a graphics tablet has been a pretty good idea in my experience. You get all the benefits of working digitally like layers and non destructive operations (like moving stuff around), which would be a bit more cumbersome otherwise.

Oh course I'd still argue that it's a bit worse for taking really quick notes, though being able to easily save a file or two and put it in Slack or some Wiki for referencing that exact thing months later is pretty cool, without the intermediate step of having to digitize some pictures and do the same work twice.

I do also enjoy being able to share my screen in standup meetings and very quickly showing a few screenshots and graphs, in addition to aggregating them across years for later performance reviews.

In my experience a particular pain point is the latency that you speak of, as well as people not wanting to invest about 50€ in a reasonable mic and possibly a webcam as well.

It just shows when people don't care or don't know about these things, even interviews with government officials in the news for a while here looked like they're 240p or something.
I’ve been super curious about both Rust and ESP. It seems like Espressif is interested enough to commission a Rust dev board (ESP32-C3-DevKit-RUST-1) and training using it.

>The thing is, it's actually really hard to judge quality of a design(takes a bachelor degree in Industrial Design and masters in related field and a few studies like the one in question to objectively evaluate a design).

Horse hockey. Spend a couple years in Quality Assurance with your eyes open. It:s trivial to seperate wheat from chaff. The key that your Industrial Design might give you insight on is the fact that Industry has decided unilaterally that cost to produce > joy of end user in use. I.e. if it's cheaper to make and sell, it's higher Quality, rather than it's damn good, now lets streamline it.

Yes, your process weighs into it, but I assure you, the cognitive load of a haptic interface vs a touchscreen is so much lower it's absurd to even try to compare. If you really care about the end user, you take the time to get them buttons, and don't distract them with touchscreen finicky BS.
“Never” - I don’t have much confidence in things people say when they say it with such surety. E.g. if they found out more office days equals more productivity, they would stick with 40%?
You need to look at the adjusted disposable income to include “social transfers in kind”. The US still leads there, but not as dramatically.

Even so, I’m not convinced that these numbers are actually that meaningful. They might tell you how many new Macbooks someone can afford, but do you think the median person’s quality of life is actually 50% worse outside the US? That seems implausible to me!
And I think Tesla could get away with it, because to a point they were trying to be like Apple for cars, and Apple has reinvented some user interfaces very successfully - including touch screen interfaces in favor of physical buttons.

It can work. I remember so many people sticking with their Blackberry for so long because it had physical buttons. And to be honest, I'm still not comfortable with touch screen keyboards. However, I can see a lot of benefits in having a touch screen for text input; predictive text, language switching, character set switching, 3rd party keyboards to combine emoji into monstrosities (https://emoji.supply/kitchen/), etc.

The cost was ergonomics; the gain was dynamic options as described above.

Anyway, I think that's what Tesla was aiming for, I don't know if they or other car manufacturers have achieved it. I don't have experience with it myself, only drove a VW for a while that had a screen for the gauges so you could change the styling and get some sweet animations; I didn't mind that, it was workable enough, and allowed for more efficient use of available real estate.

Aren't we already in a privacy anti-utopia, with pervasive, nearly universal surveillance by the large tech companies and the info going to the US government and perhaps its "five eyes" allies?
That's what I like about Tesla, it has buttons for stuff you'd expect (lights, cruise control, wipers, volume, media navigation, a/c) and touchscreen for something complex like navigation or for settings that aren't used frequently.
I love those "under construction" images at the bottom. Takes me back to the 90's.

If this is the experience, no thanks. I stared at a blank screen for about 5 seconds on Firefox mobile before the calculator appeared. Almost gave up.
I find the system very usable and in any case the point is that it’s not _touch_screen based.
Sure, the article is about defamation, but the current sub-thread is about Rupert Murdoch wanting Google to pay for linking to his news stories - which has nothing at all to do with defamation.
I'm also keeping in mind her husband's pension gave her income equivalent to a fairly typical lower middle class salary in Britain at the time, when families of seven children were not uncommon, and most families lived on a quarter of that income. Most people spent up to half their income on food, but most people didn't have a combination of well above average income and claimed inability to afford more than intermittent consumption of animal food even after cutting back on all other areas of expenditure and supplementing income by selling off old valuables.

"Vice" is one reason why somebody receiving well above average family incomes for the time could have a well below average ability to feed her family, indebtedness a more likely one, not actually receiving her pension [consistently] is a third. But the most logical reason for her reporting conditions of extreme poverty (in between gripes at loss of middle-class privilege) despite being entitled to a pension worth 4-5x the average wage of the time is that she is exaggerating the hardships in a letter which is essentially begging for help.

I hope PINE64 doesn't fail, they did great before and I think they could continue being great.

luckily postmarketOS existed before the PinePhone and can easily exist after, the pine devices isn't even the majority of devices we support.

Sure you don't need it, but you may _want_ it. Consider that some people really don't want to set up a reflector server in the cloud (not to mention how that means your reflector server's bandwidth limit becomes your whole VPN's bandwidth limit). Having the nitty-gritty of the data plane be peer to peer as much as possible means that your network has practically unlimited data. If I am trying to SSH into one of the machines under my desk I shouldn't need to poke a server in a datacenter downtown to do it.

There's also a bunch of people that want the convenience of being able to access things like their Synology NAS remotely. I'm almost certain that none of them want to set up a server in the cloud, or even understand what that means. Not everyone is super technically apt, and as a matter of policy we shouldn't try and make things with the assumption that everyone using them is a computing god already. People have to start from somewhere and it's perfectly okay for some people to not want to deep dive into the unrestrained horror of managing linux servers.

Things you don't have to do are easier than things you have to do.
Machine Learning: a Probabilistic Perspective by Murphy may be a better reference. Murphy has more up-to-date books.

> Both are freely available online. Reading one book will get you to top 5% practitioners and reading both will get you to top 1%

At which percentage do you start meeting math PhDs from top schools? You'll most probably never meet their level of understanding just by reading books or doing exercises. Having read Bishop, I don't have one tenth of the knowledge I'd need to do research at that level, you need more exposure than that.
Managers have been wanting to treat developers as assembly line workers since forever. It harkens back to the promise of object oriented programming — that if the interfaces were well defined upfront then development would be reduced to just implementing the code while conforming to the interface. Of course, that never worked because software development is a fundamentally creative and iterative process, so the assembly line model is doomed to fail every time.
A lot of these experiences focus on the driver's experience using the center console while the car is in motion. But, when the car is in motion, the driver really shouldn't be messing with the stereo or most anything else in the center console. Any controls the driver should need should be available on or immediately around the wheel, where the driver's hands and focus already are.

What about the experience when the car is not in motion, or by the passenger? Personally I like having a large touch screen when going through the media I'd like to play rather than a tiny screen far away. Same for going through the settings of the car. Same when planning out a route or even just entering a destination.

I have a car with a big touchscreen. I have a car with a ton of buttons and a small screen. I prefer the car with the big touchscreen, hands down. When stopped it's a much better experience as I'm almost exclusively using the screen. When driving, I'm practically never pressing any of the buttons on the dashboard. Meanwhile, the screen being much smaller makes the map and directions harder to see, just about the only thing I do bother to to care about on the center console while the car is in motion.

My car with a bunch of buttons has lots of buttons that practically never get pressed. That's such an immense waste of space on that dashboard.

https://arc-anglerfish-arc2-prod-tbt.s3.amazonaws.com/public...

You're telling me having a SETUP button is useful for driving? INFO? BLUELINK? Should I be using the PHONE button to scroll through my address book while driving? No! All of this is essentially a waste of space. I shouldn't be pressing most of these buttons while driving, so the argument of safety of a physical button is moot.
> but works with gloves?

I bet Lockheed Martin sells a $50K glove that works with the F-35 touchscreens.

It's not that bad, however. In a car you need to be constantly aware of the road ahead of you. On a plane, you are not required to have your hands on the controls while on autopilot and you can pay attention to the screens, as well as operate them - there won't be any wildlife crossing ahead of you, not any red lights forcing you to brake.

And if the plane sees a threat it will warn you well before your human senses can so you can pay full attention to it (and the helmet-mounted displays). I assume the F-35 also has stick-mounted controls to operate in the helmet display.

I'm white and my husband is British Indian. Back in 2010 now before we were married he got a few rental rejects, one specifically mentioned the curry issue. He's never cooked a curry in his life. I just want to give him a hug when these things happen, it's awful.
No, it’s not easier to press the wrong button and your hand doesn’t jump around when using the controller.
But, I suppose, an important question to ask is: which is worse? The overt in-your-face racism or the subtle more nuanced racism that avoid stating it directly? In a lot of ways, the candor is better, since at least you know what you are dealing with. A lot of the efforts in the U.S. have merely driven it underground, and the efforts to counter it have become sort of draconian in themselves (e.g. more "thought police").
Let's see:

- you never drive with your windows open?

- you never drive with passengers that you talk to?

- you never listen to music in the car?
Wow thats crazy and would exclude a sizeable market in countries like the UK.

It's illegal to deny loans on the basis of race. Your race is also not a factor in your credit score.
You've obviously never been in the position of being elderly, living in a country where pension funds got dilapidated by politicians (no matter how much you paid into it), needing money and your only source of income being a flat you're renting.

My dad had one squatter, who was a respectable 60 years old lady: she just stopped paying and the legal and justice system is so shit that it took more than a year to get her out of my dad's flat - meanwhile she trashed the flat, changed the gates to lock us out and started burning stuff.

You don't get to decide who lives in my property, I do and you can be damn sure I'll think very hard what's my chance the tenant will pay or not based on any data I have available.
If they're students or asylum seekers they're more likely to trash the place and go unpunished.

It would be less relevant if I could reclaim my flat immediately (fine, I'll eat a loss of a month of rent) after breach of contract, but that's not the world we live in.

You're welcome. I've unfortunately gotten used to it. With this kind of thing you either be polite and accept things with grace or you become a bitter sad person. It is really hard to stop myself from becoming bitter about all of this. I wish reality was better and that I didn't have to be literally an expert in so many things to be taken seriously.
Lol. My dad was a janitor. It's hard work but he wasn't some kind of different species of human and he didn't rob our neighbors during his time off. What exactly is wrong with living next to a tow truck driver?
My team at google, we originally told everyone to come and go as they pleased back in February. That seemed the most flexible and the most employee friendly, but when we surveyed the team they didn’t like having no guidance on when they should be in the office.

So we labeled three days “preferred in-office” and made it clear you could still work from home on those days if you wanted. People much prefer this system.
In the US a prospective tenant who was discriminated against may have a civil cause of action under the fair housing act.

They can drag the landlord through a federal court case. I guess the landlord could plead the fifth at deposition, if there was something criminal involved, but that will probably only help the plaintiff. Remedies include damages and attorneys fees, which can be large.

As a landlord, you probably aren’t going to be able to just brush off an FHA claim. Even if you ultimately prevail, it’s lilely to be a big, expensive hassle.
I did that as well, but via adopting a cat who demands to be fed at 5:30am
Sure, but now it isn't the automakers fault when someone does something dangerious. Hopefully the police can start enforcing no phone use while driving laws. Google/Apple may in fact be liable as well and forced to check GPS before unlocking a phone (this would be bad for passenger experience, but if drivers can't keep their hands off their phones it might be required to do this)
> Plot values have doubled BECAUSE OF regulations!

Hard disagree here. Munich, Berlin and Hamburg simply don't have much land in their borders any more. In Munich, we only have two major unpopulated areas left - the SEM Nord (900 ha, 50.000 people) and SEM Nordost (600 ha, 30.000 people) [1], and the currently under construction projects Freiham (25.000 people) and Bayernkaserne (15.000 people).

The opposition to these projects does have valid points, too: a city as large as Munich absolutely needs recreational areas for the populace as well as green areas for micro-climate and recreation, and the amount of both is really really low - the traffic to the existing lakes or the nearby Bavarian Alps is already immense and the areas are all struggling with the regional-tourist population issues like overcrowded trains, trash being left everywhere including in natural reserves or on farm land [2], overcrowded parking lots and vandalism [3], leading to sometimes outright violence against tourists from Munich [4].

"Just build more dense housing" may sound like an easy way out, but (too) dense housing has immense followup costs as well as all these people have to have other options in their lives than slave away as corporate drones and sleep. Otherwise, you end up with Japan-style psychological issues.

My experience after flying 737, MD80, A320, A330 and A340 is that nobody takes special care with cockpit buttons. They are work tools and treated as such.

The main ones (autopilot and flight controls), rarely fail if at all.
The only ones failing from time to time are small switches for radio channel volume or cockpit light adjustments and system buttons at the overhead panel that are easy to replace by maintenance.

Touchscreens are not a good option for main controls due to poor visibility(dirt from fingers and sun reflections), hidden submenus, turbulence making hard to press the correct button…

The A350 and 787 are using trackball controlls for submenus and the onboard computers, not a touchscreen.
> I don't think anyone who leaves within that period would even write this in their CV

Oh that's interesting, I'd have taken the opposite view - that having a 2 month gap on your CV would be interpreted by most HR depts as worse than explaining a 2-month job as "not a good fit"

Edit: I guess I should clarify that I don't see gaps in CVs as a bad thing, but from personal experience I know some HR depts have an irrational fear of them.
No shit. This is why all the good professional gear in any field (think of 100 k€ cinema cameras or high price audio recording equipment) has physical switches on it. Having a 5 position turn switch that you can turn blindly (with a satisfying physical response) will always be better than a touch screen that you have to look at to figure out:

- is the touchscreen in the right context? (Sure you could make important controls the same independent of the submenu, tab, page etc, but you still have to hit the right button)

- did you actually hit the button?
> I predict in 10 years car manufacturers will bring back physical controls for some things (if not all).

Maybe. If new cars are all self driving, I could see manufacturers keeping with touchscreens. It's safer to stay distracted longer if you're not in direct control of the vehicle.
ICYMI make sure you check out the "ssh tips" thread from yesterday: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32486031

Thanks for sharing, there’s a lot of negativity in the replies but at least you’re sharing your thought process and the decisions that were made.

How did you end up choosing Tue - Thu? Would it not make more sense to “sync” with each other in the office on the start and end of the week?
I see much parallel with this and MacBookPro touch-bar failure. Visual interaction need much attention, so switching from primary attention(Road/MacBookPro main display) seems to be a slow/tiring overhead.
I don't know the advantages, but a big disadvantage for me is the lack of Linux support, whereas Flutter has a steady growth in this field. Well, the last time I checked at least, this was my perspective.

Or maybe I'm confusing with MAUI
Maybe it was like in my company (big investment bank). The CEO wrote a global mail asking everyone to start coming back to the office - that was 3 months ago and the office is still empty, seems like everybody just kind of ignored it. :-)
With the drop in VC checks being written and overall interest rates, I'd expect revenue-based financing to have a good year.

The claim that the US is not perfect and the claim that it is far less racist than the rest of the world are very very different.
Hint: many places do not, in fact, experience annual reduced insolation, and can produce equally year-round. We call those places "tropics", maybe you have heard of them.

Do you think utilities store months of fuel, nowadays? Or do they rely on regular deliveries? Do you think relying on regular deliveries of ammonia, in winter, would be much different from relying on deliveries of NG year-round, as today?
I ran openHAB on mine for three or four years until I replaced it with a Pi4.

It was fantastic for that purpose, and I only migrated because openhabian stopped supporting Pine64.
I think my car has it right, it does have a touch screen but there are tactile buttons for the common ancilliary controls (air con, hazard lights, shortcuts to navigation, radio, settings) underneath.

To me it seems "why not both?" with proper thought to the UI is the right approach.
The fact that the US has a continuous and often contentious dialogue about racism is why the US is less racist.

They don't talk about it much in places that are really racist because they don't give a damn.
