This is true for fast food establishments but many (most?) restaurants land your burger without ketchup unless specified. I'm grateful for it since there's a growing craft in creative alternative sauces.
I would love to see a split or ergonomic board with electrocapacitive rubber dome switches. I can't go back to the way mechanical feels, but would appreciate some ergonomics.
My AirPods Pro are great except the left one drains it's battery about twice as fast as the right one. Has anybody here experienced something similar? Will Apple do anything about it?
Yep, mine were totally out of warranty, I noticed some clicking mostly only when running, and they replaced them in-store for free.

I was worried they would blame my third-party tips (https://www.complyfoam.com/collections/comply-foam-tips-comp...) but as mentioned by the other poster, they remove the tips before testing.

Thanks! It's actually created with TigYog [1], a platform I'm building to let people write these kinds of interactive stories/lessons. It's somewhat influenced by things like Twine, but:

* It emphasizes "mostly-linear narrative" rather than "exploring rooms in an open world"
* It emphasizes using interactive fiction for education (e.g. features for "correct answer")
* It emphasizes writing over programming (e.g., no explicit variables)
* It has a WYSIWYG editor that feels kinda like blogging

Let me know how it goes if you try it out!

As an outside company without a relationship with SAP, what's the best way to build integrations with it? What's the path? How do we get access to sandbox environments, and will it cost money? I figured I'd selfishly ask while this is number one on HN and all the SAP gurus are here!
Public communication is vital for so many reasons: reducing information silos, enabling async work, increasing decision making consistency. This post from the CTO at Metaview summarises the approach well: https://builds.metaview.ai/pup/
You can still replace them, even if they are out of warranty.

SAP software is the Jira for non-IT software. A slow corporate mess nobody wants to log in to until your boss complains you haven't fill out the SAP thing, so you sigh and try to accept the fact, go in there and try to get it done before life becomes totally dark and unbearable.

Most are only exposed to SAP software for time allocations, travel arrangements and expense management, but I imagine there's some poor souls in the account department who have to spend a large part of their day suffering it. It's something you probably won't encounter in small companies, but seems inevitable in large companies and organisations at least in Europe.
arc's problems seem to mostly be software.

No. The request is to show who wrote individual lines or sections. Currently the bill shows as being 'written' by legislators Smith & Johnson but lacks crediting/blaming who actually provided the wording for each section. The goal would be to see who slipped in which pieces of the bill.

Ah Italy, they somehow handle anything tomato-related differently, and I mean better.

Currently baking alive on vacation in Sicily, tomatoes from basic stores taste much better than regular ones I can buy in Switzerland, any time of the year. When they do pasta with red sauce its something I want to pack and take home with us and just clone forever. I mean obviously their home made pasta al dente is superb, but those extra more-red-than-red sauces are also on another level.

Country seems a bit broken and drivers dont seem to recognize basic traffic rules, but food is up there, pretty consistently.
Apple for sure would have already built or acquired a search engine if it was not for Google giving them billions to stay on the iPhone.
If we're going for fair how about outlawing search engine defaults since they've proven to lead to unreasonable competitive advantage.
Reddit has been circling the drain for a while content-wise. It wasn't until I tried to create my own subreddit (for my city) that one of the admins came reigning in on its purpose and tried to narrow down what I'm allowed to discuss. It was really eye opening as someone who jumped from digg to reddit in 2011 when media viewed reddit as the "wild west". I'm still reeling from the new level of censorship huge platforms like these are undergoing. It's disturbing, and unprecedented in its lack of transparency, considering how much power these companies have over society and influence.
the most annoying thing about the airpods pro for me is that a good percentage of the time (maybe 15%, give or take), only one of the actual airpods will connect when I stick them in my ears. I got a buzzing a few months ago and swapped them out under the service program, hoping it would also fix the only-one-airpod-connecting issue, but, well, it didn't. (A large percentage of the time I realize that this is because something went wrong on the case side and the one that won't connect never got charged even though the other one did.)

Despite that, I'm still upgrading to round 2 this morning. Hoping the new version of the chip plus the new case makes this connection/charging issue go away. Sigh. Apple does manage to always get my money, doesn't it. Though, I guess, to be fair, apart from those issues my first gen's have served me well for like 3 years and they're the only headphones I actually use 90% of the time. (Also, even more noise cancelling on the already good noise cancelling sounds good...maybe these can become my long-plane-trip headphones and let me retire the big sonys.)

I don't think that's completely unachievable with the current state of NLP tools.

You could (roughly) measure the diversity of discussion topics, the frequency of positive and negative emotions, etc. It'd be work to do it well, but I think it could work decently.
> lots of esims you can switch on or off would be great

I believe this is already supported. Haven't used esims extensively, but I see toggles for activating them on android. Not sure if there's a limit there. The real limit is only how many can be active at the same time.

Maintainer of Akka.NET here - we're not really affected by this change.

1. We're still porting features that are all licensed under Apache 2.0, as other comments have mentioned.
2. None of Akka.NET's source code has been authored by Lightbend and we certainly don't fall under their Contributor License Agreement (CLA.)

The copyright headers of the Akka.NET files includes a Lightbend attribution currently, but we've included that in there largely out of an abundance of caution - and it's actually a little erroneous for us to do that since many of the files in our projects don't exist in the original Akka source.

Our source was contributed to the .NET Foundation years ago - so I'll ask their OSS counsel if there's anything we need to do differently going forward to keep our source germane under Apache 2.0.
Good idea, I will add that to a future version. Thanks!

One thing I find amazing is that "single box" search engines are still the standard.

The biggest pain point of using Google is when it incorrectly guesses what you are trying to search. But the user is only allowed to type in one little box, so it's hard for the user to even express what they want.

If the user had multiple inputs, such as the ability to drill down, define general topics, etc., it would be way easier for them to express what they actually want.

A Google competitor that did this well could win.
Prone to disruption.
Writing '...' switches from "writing shell code" to "writing a single-quoted string". It does not switch to "writing arbitrary text" (since that would give us no way to end the string!). You should always convert arbitrary text to "single-quoted string" format: most of the time it will stay the same, e.g. "google.com"; sometimes it needs escaping to prevent benign corruption, e.g. "I'm a little teapot"; in this case it needs escaping to prevent malicious code injection.
Clever, but I really hope nobody is going to blindly copy-paste-go! a URL like that. Especially if you're technical enough to use a terminal, you should know better.
Maintainer of Akka.NET here - I don't think so. Posted another comment earlier in the thread with some more details.
I don't program in Zig, but I can think of a few reasons in principle:

1. WYSIWIG compiler: how many people have been complaining lately about C compilers eliminating code on them due to undefined behaviour? If you eliminate certain optimizations so your complier doesn't do this, like dead code/variable elimination, then what the code looks like is exactly what executes. This means some important optimizations may have to be done by hand. Eliminating dead variables could be one of them.

2. Arguably dead variables are a mistake. Either they're a (major) mistake because you neglected to include a value in your computation, or a (minor) mistake because you declared a superfluous variable that's never used.

3. If you want your code to be clear and as self-documenting as possible, unused variables are an impediment. I can't speak to the accuracy of Zig's analysis, but I can see how it would be annoying while working out an algorithm.
I think it was called "interlinking" and was, at least eventually, official enough to be carried over into the first wave of digital cinema contracts.

Not sure what you're getting at; ideally they're subject to the same anti-trust legislation as Google. The fact that others might also try to break the law doesn't make it pointless to uphold the law.
That’s because SAP is a bed of Procrustes.

More than hundreds, perhaps thousands, or at least hundreds in a much shorter time frame than in previous eras. Rolls Royce's firm rejection of requests to develop a new engine is the most immediate reason the A380 was canceled. IIRC, Emirates and Airbus decided to kill the A380 within days of the Rolls Royce announcement, and in any event Emirates was clear that it was Rolls Royce's decision that forced their hand. Emirates alone would have guaranteed to purchase hundreds of such engines, considering there were 4 on each plane, but in the end Rolls Royce simply had no appetite for new development of any kind, though presumably they were entertaining the idea for quite some time beforehand.

According to Emirates and some other analysts, and contrary to popular narrative, the A380's biggest competitive handicap was the generation of engines, not the mere fact they had 4 instead of 2. The engines were nearly a full generation behind when the A380 debuted, and the gap only grew over time. Engines on a 4-engine plane are smaller, meaning less drag; have narrower power bands, running more optimally at all stages of flight; and have lower maintenance costs, even at twice the number, as they're both less stressed and subject to longer MTBF requirements--losing 1 of 4 engines is much less of a problem than 1 of 2. All considered a 4-engine configuration might still be nominally less fuel efficient, but the difference was negligible given these countering dynamics and in the opinion of some more than made up by other factors favoring the A380. The hub vs point-to-point model disfavored larger planes, but the air travel market was growing and in absolute terms so too was the potential A380 market. But the efficiency gap between engine generations was simply too large to overcome.
Ah okay, this was really helpful, thanks! Not quite as bad of a language faux pas as when I was a kid and thought 'per se' was persay but I'm glad to know the difference
I find that this comes with kids. Once the kids come, many are compelled to play the game since many feel responsible for their kids’ health and future opportunities (education).

This turns into competing for best schools districts, which turns into paying as much as you can for land, to surround yourself with others who can pay at least as much as you can.

In the US, healthcare costs also keep people on their toes. Between health insurance premiums and annual out of pocket maximums, you need somewhere around $24k per year plus ~$34k emergency funds for 2 years worth of out of pocket maximum healthcare expenses for a family of 4.

If I was single or without kids, I would not necessarily care enough about any of that.
I default to Bing on desktop, and DDG on mobile. For a specific search, I often give-up, and begrudgingly revert.

It's obvious that Google search has become the better product, but quality has wavered in the past 5 years, it's been on an uptrend. That on occasion the search task reports a 1.4s delay is actually reassuring.

Functioning operator search, Scholar, and Books seem to be the distinct advantage Google has for many of my use cases.

My biggest issue with all of the big players is the gaslighting and erosion. They need to dogfood everything. When my keyboard ime is suddenly under attack, and it gets stuck that way for months, it's time to look at how you're doing things.

Indeed. Both of my original AirPods Pro developed the buzzing/crackling issue, had them both exchanged under the program, and now one of them is creaking again.

I started trying different ketchups after moving to Norway. I settled on one from Mutti - it is nice and thick and has a bit of texture while still being smooth and ketchupy, unlike Heinz (which is what I call standard ketchup).

Of course, Norway being Norway means that to get this ketchup, I have to stop by one particular grocery store chain as they are the only ones that sell it. If I can't make it there for whatever reason, though, Heinz it is. It is always a bit of a disappointment even though it is what I consumed for years.

I understand where you're coming from but ...

> There's virtually no competitive advantage to having unique business processes.

I'm not intending to take this sentence out of the context of the rest of your post (on its own, I don't think you agree with that[0]), but I think even in context of "specific to resource planning" there are many competitive advantages that companies pursue.

Take "Time Accounting" for example. I'm not referring to tracking hourly employee hours for payroll, I'm referring to tracking salary employee "project time." Every past salaried position I've had at a company with more than 90 employees had its own custom time tracking software[1]. The first company to do this was a multi-national telecom that I worked for. It was done so that each project could be broken out into its stages and the portion of the employees' salary could be itemized among "Capital Expenses" and "Operational Expenses". This was so important to the company that it warranted a massive development effort along with a corporate initiative to get 100% of time reporting in "on time." They did this as you'd expect a huge company would -- fail to hand in a time sheet on time a few weeks in a row and you'd get dinged more for that mistake than anything else.

The second and third companies ended up "accidentally developing time tracking software" specifically because there was competitive advantages to improving "Resource Planning". It was most helpful to my last employer. Their businesses was creating new products (often hardware/software combinations) for companies. This involved hiring a large number of people specialized in things that had limited cross-over. Resource Planning was predicting when what skills at what level would be available. This, necessarily, involved tracking what time was spent on projects in the past to improve those predictions and ultimately ballooned into a full time management and accounting application for the business (they sold "our time" to customers at the end of the day so it helped them to plan what to charge).

I'm curious -- from your perspective, is it that the competitive advantage is lost "because the tools that everyone is stuck with won't work" if you stray too far from "standardized" or is there another advantage to this standardization?

[0] Unique business processes and marketing are frequently the difference between the #1 and #2 company in a given space.

[1] In one case (about 250 employee global company), the company wrote it as a concept for a future product but once it was available, the existing solution was tossed primarily because the business side really liked the flexibility. In another it grew out of a pet project and became entrenched. At the remaining two, a decision was made to develop something from the ground up.

Can any other runners comment on the new airpods for durability.

I've killed 3 pairs due to sweat from running seemingly shorting them out and then they never seem to recover.

the sound is great but I can't really tell much a difference between them and the $50 pair I tend to buy from amazon. That could be due to my 40 year old ears though.

They do connect really well and allow me to connect to both my phone and laptop which I love but durability seems to be a big problem for them.
The end of all crypto and the 100% collapse of all cryptocurrencies, and projects constantly parroted by the extreme anti-crypto crowd for years has been greatly exaggerated. Otherwise it would have happened already.

It is no different or delusional to the crypto maximalists also parroting their alternative belief that all cryptocurrencies and projects will replace the current financial system.

Whether if one is long and the other is short is beside the point since you after the 'end' of crypto which should have happened a long time ago. Both of these absolutist camps are unrealistic in their ultimate end goals.

The only absolute is that there is none. Only some cryptocurrencies and projects will survive, and not all of them will.
Hmm, probably depends on what you define as a lobbyist. If you're writing a bill about education reform and including more tech in the classroom (just a hypothetical example) and ask the teacher's union, Brookings, and a major education company about what would be important to include or not include, would that be influenced by a lobbyist group?
