Apple goes to great lengths to make their case, absolutely. And yet still, even leaving aside your comment which seems to attribute the perception of difference to marketing rather than actual quality, still we get this response: "This question is silly. The Pixel or any top-end Samsung is equivalent or better than the iPhone in hardware."

The poster clearly believes what they are saying, despite other commenters pointing out the counter-evidence for the statement.

So GP is right: many people simply can't tell the difference, despite Apple's best efforts.
I agree with we need more forums, it used to be lifely and innovative with forums and discussion going All around, pretty decentralized but social networks ruined it. Now it seems tech people are fed up with centralized social networks .
I am itching to start one based on zulip.

I haven't checked lobster.rs and xenforo
Seems like they're using some features that are not available in all browsers, and failing with a single error message instead of explaining which feature is missing.
I recall once researching superfund distribution on some sort of thesis that the West Coast is Better, only to discover that Washington State is top ten for a superfund sites, and in large part because of all of the nasty ways we’ve come up with to preserve lumber over the years. Well, shit.

It’s no PFOAs but it’s a class of chemicals specifically selected for preventing decay so it’s up there. We really should know better by now.
Yeah, this is a classic bait-and-switch that the Rx companies do. "No patient out-of-pocket!" they tout, as they charge $10k+ to the insurance companies, and by proxy, to the company the employee works for. The Rx company still gets paid the same amount, just through proxies.
I think it's because there are only full left and right and no slight turn of wheel like we do 99.9% of time in real driving.
Furthermore it's not inaction, in order to starve someone to death you have to get a lawyer and a judge to sign the death warrant. Pretending this is ethical is palming off the moral responsibility to some medical-tech who refills the feeding tube.
There was also something with zinc being used to produce hair and something good in love making (I do not remember if it was on the semen or elsewhere).

So less hair = more zinc for that other thing
Any C code that performs a calculation which would silently be wrong or crash if the values were not correct (even though they are) is inherently unsafe.
So the "greater good" as they phrase it does not include other primates besides ourselves? Or any other animals? That is remarkably unempathical and selfish.
Hey. Can you reach pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov? I'm getting a similar problem. Works on firefox, doesn't work in chrome, hangs when I try to connect with `openssl s_client -connect pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov:443 -servername pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov` on a recent ubuntu distro.

Did we change TCP/IP while I wasn't looking? More likely there's a middlebox implementing a TCP shibboleth the firefox guys know about but the chrome team hasn't implemented yet. Or maybe it's just leenucks is doing something funky and somehow firefox knows how to avoid leenucks funkiness.
Emigration and performing energy intensive work where the heat can just radiate away makes sense, but a world in which we pump 100s of Terawatts through the atmosphere as microwaves because we are dissatisfied with the 100s of terawatts falling on areas we have already paved is not one driven by environmentalism, but by avarice.
The Social Recession: By the Numbers
Less friends, relationships on the decline, delayed adulthood, trust at an all-time low, and many diseases of despair. The prognosis is not great.
At the Baku Formula 1 race this year, the Alpha Tauri team taped together the rear wing on Yuki Tsunoda's car when it began flapping around—perplexing some fans. (Dynamic adjustment of the wing didn't work after that, of course, and more importantly Tsunoda finished thirteenth outside of the points, making the effort moot.) In the discussions, it surfaced that ‘speed tape’ is what's used in F1, also with some educating photos like an airplane turbine being sealed with such tape.
in the examples provided they just barrier off streets. Is it a flying ambulance that airlifts you like the coastguard?
A relatively low hanging fruit that can help: chew more! This will both help with digestion, so your body will invest less energy, and secret more satiety hormones, so you will even eat a bit less without being hungry.
Microsoft has been making pretty great hardware and even the OS has made significant strides. That said, the applications don’t have anywhere near the consistency of polish that I find in the App Store.

Similarly, the Pixel hardware is pretty good. The internals are about as good as the iPhone, but something about the hardware fit and finish isn’t equivalent to me, but it’s very close. Same with the top-end Samsung devices.

The biggest issue with Android for me is the consistency of the available applications. For almost any need I can find a well-crafted iOS app that both works well and looks great. With Android some of the most functional apps look like something from Windows Mobile in the mid 2000s.

There’s also vast differences in consistency throughout the Android experience. For example, anywhere in iOS tapping the top of the screen scrolls to the top. Android still doesn’t have this consistency, some apps offer it and others don’t. Same with the swiping in from the edge behavior. For me, it’s these little things that Apple does well.

This has been getting better but in general it seems to more closely resemble the Linux ethos where many things work, but are ugly or difficult to use.
> Also, light themes are superior.

What did you just say to me ? /s
> Think Up Goer 5 but maybe not as extreme.

I don't think this proves the point you want it to. Up Goer 5 loses a ton of information for the sake of its stylistic schtick, and is borderline incomprehensible to people who don't already know the information it's attempting to convey. That's not a problem when you're doing it for comedic effect or for its own sake; it's a big problem when you decide that a devotion to simplistic language should trump actual communication in scenarios where the message matters.
I would've expected a higher requests per sec for 10VU for Go. Throughout the comparisons Go was just right behind rust but here it it was off by a high magnitude.
> You don’t seem to get my point though - it only has turned into a quagmire for Russia because other countries have feared the thing of which you are sceptical. It is like complaining the medicine is useless because you don’t have symptoms, when it is only because of the medicine that you don’t have them.

What did I write that made you think that I think that the West's backing of Ukraine has not been essential for Ukraine's defense/Russia's failure? My claim is that Ukraine is an example of why it is absurd to expect Russia to invade NATO countries. If Russia cannot even overtake NATO-backed non-NATO countries, no one should reasonably expect it to invade NATO-proper countries.
He's saying that user Siddarth1977 thinks Samsung is as good or better at interface design, when it clearly isn't. People who use uglier or less well integrated devices are used to it, and when they see something better designed, it reads as a subjective difference to them, or possibly objectively worse.

Whereas you are talking about how Apple's current customers perceive their devices. And you're absolutely right. Apple sells phones to a lot of people who don't have good taste, and it works hard to persuade them that Apple==tasteful so they don't get confused and wander off.

I'm artistically useless myself, to be clear. I'm not immune to marketing where my lack of taste leaves a preference vacuum.

Author here. I actually thought about using this library. In my case re-rending as svg was too complex. Much more practical to upload screenshots of DOM, share those via functions/middleware.
I think it has a lot to do with incentives and company culture.

Disclaimer: I’m not working right now and taking a lengthy break after a long career at Amazon, so here’s my experience. And I bounced around the non-AWS side of the company for over 10 years, so I’m not speaking to AWS.

Amazon will never make a product anywhere near Apple quality, especially when it comes to fit and finish. Amazon hires a lot of MBAs, fresh out of college, and Amazon’s culture around OP1/OP2 forces organizations to justify their funding and head count. Add in the perverse promotion incentives, and you get outcomes where the company tries 100 different things at any given point in time, and tries to see what will stick. There’s never a holistic vision on delivering one product and making it “insanely great”. Instead, it’s a mess of myriad different things, developed by burned out engineers, layers of management, and MBAs who have all kinds of ideas, though a single 30 minute meeting will provide enough proof these people don’t use their own products.

It’s these endless amounts of processes and “mechanisms”, as Amazon calls them, that you get cringy and ridiculous features such as Alexa trying to sell you garbage when all you wanted to know was the weather. The MBAs are under the gun to deliver “something”, and now you can add in the stress of people having families, depending on their Amazon employment to stay in the country, not to mention the cut throat culture, it’s all a recipe for cheap plastic or things that no one actually needs.

Amazon has a document-writing focused culture, as opposed to using Powerpoint. You’ll find tons and tons of PR FAQs, or in some organizations, product oriented “North Star” vision documents. There’s plenty of corporate speak with phrases like, “delighting customers”, even though it’s some half baked service or product with dizzying amounts of complexity to justify promotions.
Thanks for the time of the key move. I'm a little proud that I wasn't attention-deficit enough to take advantage of it.
It's called "manufactured spending".
Exactly. Before "smartphone" the terms used for handheld mini computers were "Pocket PC" and "PDA". And they were truly impressive in terms od capabilities: they had web browsers, Word, Excel, PowerPoint, music software, games etc. Major pain point - stylus was a must due to interface strongly based on Windows. I miss them though.
The Nudge Group help founders from start to exit. They only bill for recruitment
The Nudge group helps founders from the start of their journey to exit. They charge for recruitment, and that's it. They grow with their clients, and everyone benefits.
I doubt anything changes. It's open source under the GPL2 and is used by everyone under the sun so there is plenty of motivation to maintain it.
I think this is too loaded and subjective to form a useful conversation around. Maybe you can expand and get more specific answers? For example,

> Android phones still feel like cheap plastic to me

I personally think "cheap plastic" is often the dramatically superior choice for phones from a functional perspective. It typically implies easy and low cost to replace, as well as lightweight and durable. Permeability to radio signals is also a solid bonus. There are definitely tons of plastics that are not cheap feeling, unless one is of the mindset that plastic = bad in this context.
For instance it means that an expression like argv[i], even though correct, could be wrong in a way that won't be diagnosed. Code us "unsafe" to the extent that is predictable behavior depends only on the programmer.
Right, that's all the cause of 60% "inflation," I suppose.
Apparently not enough for cloudflare to drop them.
It doesn't matter if they do it sometimes or all the time or 90% of the time or whatever. The point is that they do it, they already take those actions and no one cries "censorship" because it's obviously a good thing that a malware C2 gets taken down.
Amazing backstory of Steve the founder:

I grew up in Surrey, England, a very privileged upbringing really, a beautiful part of the UK, private schools, one of three kids. Dad was a Harley St Dentist (as was his dad). My dad is a super positive person. He had me reading books like How to Win Friends and Influence People at a very young age.

This was mainly because my dad found out when I was about 12 that he had a rare neck condition that was going to prevent him from working. Quite simply, it was to be a dentist and be in a wheelchair at 40 or stop.

He had no other skills or means of income, a big mortgage and three private school fees. You might say, big problem. I watched my dad morph into an entrepreneur overnight.

He wrote five books on computer programming - this was just starting back then, he was using a VIC-20 home computer for anyone who remembers them. He started a training company in dentistry - we spent weekends folding flyers into envelops so he could send out direct mail. He started a music company being one of the first to import rap music into the UK - trust me my dad has 3 degrees, like Jazz and hates rap music.

He became a financial planner, he sold Amway, and he sold water filters, all back when multi-level marketing was a thing. In essence, he showed unbelievable resilience, although I did not understand at the time, and we didn’t lose the house, and we continued at school.
The difference is that the LA Metro is a public transit system, which is not expected to support itself but is supported by government to provide a public good, reduce congestion, pollution, etc. The classic Pacific Electric Red Cars were not public transit but were owned by a private company (that's why it could be purchased and shut down). While sometimes presented as a "conspiracy", it's important to realize that the Red Cars were built by a company that developed suburbs and were using the Red Cars to sell land there as in the early 20th century before automobiles were common, transit to and from the suburb was a big benefit. Once the land was sold, the Red Cars were just a net loss for the company.
Is the Autobahn windy?
This article has nothing to do with algorithm complexity and "constant time" big-O complexity class, this is about guarantees of code executing in absolutely constant time (i.e. exactly x clock cycles, not "at most") in an input-independent manner to ensure that execution time does not reveal any information about what the inputs/outputs were.

In essence, this is about a programming language that can ensure that execution time always equals the worst case; if there's branching, taking both branches and ignoring one of the results; if there's iteration, doing a constant maximum count of iterations no matter what the input data is, etc.
I’m curious, what reality do you feel HN projects? Which languages did you expect further up and which further down?
1) Agreed, it's broken

2) If you are not a citizen of another EU country (or a country with some special agreement) you will likely have to enter on a holiday/work/student VISA which should prove that you can support yourself whilst in Sweden. After five years you can apply to become a citizen and there's no test in place to judge you Swedish-ish-ness. (Nobody will quiz you about which year our old king skied on one ski from Mora to Salen.. for now)

I think the point of the previous comment was that it's too easy to get a citizenship for "immigrants" (refugees), not for economic immigrants that choose to move to Sweden for Fun And Profits/Shits And Giggles.

We're all equal under the law, it's just that diffent laws apply to each of us.

3) The law is unlikely to change before 2025 (link below) when you might be tested on which year the Swedish challenger to the headed for refuge (yeah.. ironic) in Norway.

P.S.

Congrats for sticking with it even if my government forced you to do paperwork TWICE in five years :P

I submit that there is a spectrum of product quality in many product categories.

Perhaps your question could be repackaged as: "Why is there generally a standard normal distribution of products in a category?".

Thinking about a market this way leads one to understand that businesses stake out segements of that market distribution, and compete to target those to the left and right in their relentless quests for global domination.

Therefore, the lack of Apple-quality products may be related to the lack of competitors with capability/vision to make a business plan work out there in the right tail of the distribution where Apple hangs out.
That's amazing, I wouldn't have expected anyone to take action when they get an email saying "Please upvote me on ${website}!"

Do you find your customers are dedicated enough to create a Product Hunt account for you, or do they happen to already have one?
Even for static website hosting, it's unclear if a given product has market fit. Some other host could be well-known, strictly cheaper, more reliable and "better" in all ways customers care about.

The product that loses on all dimensions is unlikely to find a market fit, even if it would have been competitive ten years ago.
I often use thesaurus to translate complex words into simpler ones, it really does improve the overall writing especially if you are biased towards redundant complexity ...
> Why wouldn't you want the lint error to be highlighted right as you type the code?

eslint's flymake integration can do this without any language server commitments. LSP maybe offers some performance advantage - but IMO that says more about eslint than LSP or flymake.
You go ahead and play "being decentralised" with your buddies while people in the real world just mind their own business doing whatever they need to do using the current right tool for the job(in this case Cloudflare being the tool).
I often think that Apple's real innovation with iPhone was how they contracted with Cingular before they were acquired by AT&T, and managed to completely bypass almost everything that was horrible at the time about phones. I think competitors have undervalued that fact, and so you end up with premier Android smartphones for which updates are rolled out at different times for the same model depending on carrier agreements.

Apple either owns or controls the entire pipeline from the mines where minerals are extracted to the palm of your hand, and it doesn't seem like any other company does, or even realizes the benefit of doing so.
Yes, and at the same time Democrats have been pounding the table to be "tough on Putin" for several years now. Then the Ukraine conflict started while they were in power and they have been...not that tough.

I agree there is much more going on under the table that actually determines our foreign policy implementation. I'm not so sure that D vs R matters much at all, though. Your points #1 and #2 (energy strategy) are probably important to both teams, not just Rs. And I'm not sure #3 (ideology) is truly a motivating factor for either team when it comes down to it. If it really mattered then we'd have a much different relationship with Saudi Arabia and many others right now.
I moved to very lightweight lunch meals.

I start my day with some breakfast to carry me until noon, then have a small lunch like a salad with a bit of protein. I almost never feel tired after that.

Carbs give you energy, high fiber foods make you less hungry over longer periods of time, and protein makes you drowsy if it's more than a little. Start the day with some carbs (like rice!), eat some vegetables and low amount of protein and carbs for a small lunch, and then get the rest of your protein at dinner. This of course varies from person to person but you can only find the mix that works for you through trying.

Get your 8 hours of sleep in addition to this, and you're golden.

Another tip which I know is super annoying to hear, is that some exercise can be very energizing. A little bit goes a long way.
> The prefix de- is used in Czech normally since forever and to this day

It's only used in loan words. Like "depilace" is a normally used loanword in Czech, non-loan word variant would be "odchlupeni". But "dechlupeni" (using "de-" instead of "od-" + native Czech word) would be completely nonsensical.

Claiming that "defenestrace" is originally a Czech word seems absurd to me. It might have been "invented" in Czech lands, but clearly from the latin form.
Cool work!
In python it have cool debuggers but nobody really use much these days i think, wondering what changed that.

Glad to see this. I highly recommend manuals of problems too.

I didn't say they shouldn't have access, re-read what I wrote. I was responding to the specific claim that AI-driven art generation is essentially the same as pencil drawing.

Your point about photography is also comparing apples and oranges. There are fundamental differences here down to scale and accessibility of techniques that means anyone will soon be able to deep fake anything instantly.

Fwiw, do I think this technology should be controlled by big tech? No way. Do I think this is Pandaora's box? Yes. If we don't reconcile the tricky tradeoffs between radical democratisation of this technology on the one hand vs heavy handed control on the other, we are in hot water. Tldr... it's complicated and it is not zero sum.
The venomous, dangerous, overgeneralized part is - I assume intentionally - snuck in under the radar. Did you follow the link on the word "bogus", and notice what keywords PG thinks are indicative of bogosity? A warning against overwrought language is one thing, but it's carried through to an attack on any complexity in written language (with no acknowledgement that sometimes that complexity is necessary or preferable except for nefarious reasons), and from there to an attack on the caricature of the liberal arts that STEM-lords love to mock without understanding. You start out nodding along to the idea that "mercurial Spaniard" is a bit much, and by the end you're nodding along to the idea that liberal-arts academia is a conspiracy.

I think laptops aren't getting any better now. Because Moore's law is over we need to learn to get comfortable for the long haul with the same level of technology in general. Perhaps we can learn to do more with what we already have?
It uses clouflare workers, which is just spinning up v8 isolates, so there's no VM booting up. It's fast. They are also edge located. There are scenarios where using the kv or durable objects can cause a round trip back to the mothership, but not for reads.

That's very well done. I was pretty happy about turning my Camaro into a Jeep and being able to go off-road for miles before finally running out of map.

The fall and winter modes are especially evocative. Winter with fog or winter with night reminded me so much of driving in Utah.
My guess is they’re including construction and/or materials emissions.

So the categories overlap, and whatever you’re talking about will always seem to have a high number (office building contributes x emissions, half of that is transporting building materials, which is also counted in transportation.
Take a nap. I thought this was fairly common but I guess not?
I genuinely suggest you take the time to re-read their comment. Their argument was not that "these things are capable of harm"!

All of us can be tempted into overly quick responses without truly reading what we're responding to.
