It was impossible last I had checked, but looking now I guess they enabled it on iPhone some time in 2020? But it required enabling push notifications? I’ve always added items to my cart, then finished the purchase on desktop to use smile.

I can’t currently find anything about it in the app. Either it has already been removed or its very difficult to find.
TL;DR - Apple makes a huge profit on selling AppleCare.

Recent estimates [0] shows that in 2021 Apple had revenue of $8.5B on Applecare while claims cost $2.6B. Also, the claim rate has been dropping YoY while revenue from AppleCare has been growing YoY.

Almost always, insurance schemes are profit generators (ie not sold at a loss). The reason to buy into a scheme like AppleCare is because you couldn’t recover from an immediate loss. e.g. The only non-mandated insurance I pay for is House Building insurance.

This is why I do not pay for AppleCare.

I haven't tried this one but I was using a ChatGPT Chrome extension for a couple of weeks. If you actually use ChatGPT via the OpenAI website & value the ability to go back to previous chats, this will pollute your history by including every web search you've made, which is more than a little annoying.
That's a misunderstanding. Fake meat products don't contain "a ton of additives".
> You need to explain yourself to other people, you have to help them to understand you, you need to learn to communicate who you are.

This is rather difficult in some cases because it requires not only that you understand yourself but that others understand themselves. For certain personality types, it is actually healthier to give up on the idea of having everyone understand you and the worrying that accompanies that. In other words, loneliness can actually increase because some will simply not understand you. It isn’t in their personality’s makeup, and frustration will arise in wondering why they can’t understand you.

There is no one golden rule when it comes to personalities, loneliness, and self understanding. I recommend understanding your enneagram type, as it’s a great start into investigating your personality and self introspection.
Same in the E.U. we have billions of subsidies for milk and meat. Many countries like germany also have a tiered VAT system, where basic foods are taxed lower, there is a base line tax and some luxury items are taxed higher.

Thanks to lobbying meat and cow-milk are taxed as basic foods, while vegan alternatives are taxed as luxury items.

From the magnetic field. The catch is that, to reload the gun, you have to do work at least equal to the final kinetic energy of the projectile. Realistically you have to account for energy losses like friction and collision inelasticity.
the left-right slidey things were an Apple affectation, no doubt introduced just to be different, after all, Apples were for the rest of us. We're different.

they have much less usability

what stinks about them is you can never quite figure out or remember if you're supposed to just tap, only tap on the "other end", or actually slide the slider.
There's a lot to like here, but, as with almost all 'advice' lists, the author makes the mistake of believing their own hype. They're effectively saying "I am a good developer, I do these things, therefore to be a good developer you should also do these things." It ignores the possibility that there are good developers who don't do those things.

An example is the advice that "Software engineers should write regularly." Why? Can't you be an awesome dev if you don't write? You definitely can, because I've met hundreds of great devs who've never written anything that you'd call 'writing'. Devs who enjoy writing, and get something from writing, should absolutely write things. If you're a dev who doesn't enjoy writing then you probably shouldn't force yourself to do it just because someone said it's what devs should do. Find a different outlet that gives you the same thing other people get from writing.
You've accused the researchers twice now of exaggerating the importance of the vulnerabilities they found. This comment is almost entirely unresponsive to the comment you're replying to, which states:

> You can, according to the paper, send a classic Threema protocol user a message that, if repeated or forwarded, allows someone else to log in as them. That's a distinctively weird and bad problem for a protocol to have.

Can you be precise about what specific claims they made and how the claims were deceptive?
Airbags aren’t supposed to go off in every crash. They’re primarily intended to provide some protection for unbelted passengers. Thus the original name SRS - “supplemental restraint system”.

Same place any other distance-based potential energy (like gravity) comes from: being far away from the magnets -- and on repeated firings of a ball, from pulling it away from the magnets.
If your application exceeds the capacity of a single server (e.g. a Java Web Service that is backed by a database), do you see SQLite as a useful solution for that case?

That seems like when you'd need a standalone database, no?
I use it daily now.

1. Little programming tasks. I.e., write me a javascript function that extracts the tweetid from a tweet. Beats Googling it and then having to research through 15 years of Stackoverflow posts

2. Email upgrades. Sometimes I write something but it doesn't sound right, so I ask ChatGPT to rewrite it. Sometimes it works sometime it doesn't. It's a timesaver nonetheless.
I wouldn’t dare make comments on what’s more or less usable in an HN thread since everyone here is such an expert on these things.

Toggles came along with iOS when the UI was skeumorphic ca. 2008. Don’t know whether it has to do with tech, but that’s when we first got those.

As far as actual evidence, I do UX testing of a touchscreen/cursor application and we have both scattered throughout. I haven’t ever seen anyone have any difficulty understanding, using or differentiating between either. In our results this simply isn’t a problem with investigating.

Really? I thought a guy from the team was hammering, as is his habit, and then he noticed he'd forgotten his tools again (gosh darnit). Luckily the robot just happened to be down there and was able to grab them for him. The camera was rolling by chance because they'd forgotten to turn it off the day before. It caught the entire thing, including the celebratory front flip the bot spontaneously performed. What are the odds?
Too right. AI sets expectations too high. When 'AI' output is dumb we laugh, dismiss the whole idea.

Machine Learning? We all know machines are dumb, it's no surprise when the output is dumb.

The AI marketing hype may hamper the whole sector in the long run.

Looks very cool, but what I've wondered - there is any other tool like Isabelle?
upd.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proof_assistant
No, the article I linked mentions it's a comparison between equivalents. So burgers vs burgers and chicken pieces vs chicken pieces.

Unless you mean the vegetarian chicken pieces don't taste like chicken but like cardboard, that is fair. Then again, supermarket chicken also tastes like chicken flavoured cardboard. It's not a premium product either.
There's more to most applications than interactions with the database. Once your web app exceeds the capacity of a single machine, is SQLite a good choice for state?
radio buttons are skeuomorphic and much easier to understand how to operate and get the result you want. Slider toggles are pure fashion and skeuomorphic only in that they are as difficult to use as some recessed sliders are, but without a skeuomorphic fingernail to grab them.

There are physical things that are difficult to operate irl, and there's no reason to skeuomorph difficult things to use.

but even better, what's wrong with letting me choose what I want? You can have whatever UI you like, it doesn't need to affect me. That's the whole idea behind a personal computer, it's my slave, it's my servant, it does what I want, to make my life the way I want it. Software is the first human technology to offer this promise, it's only the weak of mind, ego and will who see it as a way to impose their stunted vision on other people.
ChatGPT was also trained with reinforcement learning to produce outputs human raters preferred
It seems non-intuitive exactly because you are used to imperial: "For a long time in my country, we used the imperial system for stuff like that". If you really were raised using metric not for almost everything, but for everything, it would seem intuitive and you've found the other system strange. And vice versa. That's just, in immortal words of Bjork "human behaviour".

Novelty food item still existing after a few years is a groundbreaking success, not a flop. The real mistake is treating food as a tech startup. People are understandably cautious about what they put in their bodies and also associate food with their cultural identity. Widespread acceptance would require patient cultivation of each segment of the market and tweaking product to suit different needs and sensibilities. Now that burger composition can be altered rather than being whatever comes out of the cow, diet burger that still tastes meaty / fatty would not be a bad start, that's where people will overlook preservatives so long as they get results. Next, consider if plant burgers can fulfil various religious restrictions when real meat would not. Create ads and mascots for different cultures. Then wait a decade and you might be getting somewhere.
The system isn't looping. Notice that it takes work to pull the accelerated ball out of the magnetic field after each shot.

So I guess the answer is solar radiation -> food -> ATP -> magnets -> kinetic energy. It isn't particularly efficient :)
Same. I’m sick of people escaping writing documentation by saying that "code is the doc" and in the meantime, writing unreadable code abstracted over dozens of code files.

They almost convinced me somewhere in my career. But the hard truth I learnt is that most people are saying this because they aren’t capable of verbalizing what they are programming.

If your "code is doc", it should be extremely easy to add a little sentence above your method to explain what it does. And no, doc doesn’t stale. If your documentation isn’t up to what your function does, it’s probably because you should have written a brand new function instead of changing a function’s behavior.
Exactly the sales pitch of https://sento.io/. Their platform allows companies to directly send structured data to other companies (circumventing the error prone and potentially labour intensive ds > pdf > sd transformation).

Also interesting as a business case, because 1co to 1co requires one connector on every side. Adding another co will only require 1 (not 2 nor 3) connector on the new co side; since the others are still valid hooking into the sento.io platform.

Note: I'm not affiliated, I just came across them a few months ago and this reminded me of them.

so the cost is in the initial setup of the client instance, which needs to download the whole database to its local sqlite ?
They're not wrong though; if you want to introduce a new tool - especially one as large and complicated as Bazel - you need to also take ownership of training and hiring not just yourself (assuming you're not already a Bazel expert) but all your current and future colleagues yourself. The management has to make a cost / benefit analysis and it's not in Bazel's favor.

Bazel is a tool by and for Google scale companies, which 99% of tech companies aren't. Make and co are good enough for most use cases.

The problem to me of naming types is that a lot of the time there is no meaningful name to give, and so it becomes noise.

When there is a meaningful name to give, in Ruby you might define a module, and include it and use that as an interface:

module HelloWorld
def hello
raise "Not implemented"
end
end

class Foo
include HelloWorld
end

Foo.new.hello # Raises an exception

Foo.new.kind_of?(HelloWorld) # Returns true

(And anytime you want something that behaves somewhat like an ordered collection, you typically just want object.kind_of?(Enumerable)).

There are plenty of contract-checking frameworks for Ruby [1] but they see little use, because most of our contracts tend to be extremely simple. Along the line of "implements method X" or "includes module Y".

Sorbet w/inference tools and optionally storing the types in a separate files (it supports inline too) might slowly change that (and effectively let you use modules as "proper" interfaces), since the biggest opposition to types in Ruby tends to be visual noise and forcing refactoring, and if it can be turned on/off in your IDE and regenerated, a lot of the objections fall away. It's not that we (well many of us) don't want the extra type checks, but that we don't want to pay the cost of making the code less readable.

[1] Here's one: http://egonschiele.github.io/contracts.ruby/ and of course there's Sorbet: https://sorbet.org/blog/2020/07/30/ruby-3-rbs-sorbet
I never said we should not be adding value. I, as Software Engineer, add value. I write the software ultimately. Whether that software has value for you CTO, CEO or whoever own the software, cannot be my responsibility right?

My problem is that seeing value in a software product/service is dictated by the vision of the company and the market. The vision for a product is not a cog's responsibility.

To make an example. If all the engineers of Tesla were asked to build a car, not from Elon, but someone else who didn't see value in EV. What would've happened? I don't think the engineers would come up with an EV. The value is create by you CEO, CTO and owners of the product. If Tesla with Elon had failed, is the engineers responsibility to not have produced value? The vision was wrong, simple. Heck, how many Apple/Microsoft products didn't take off and don't tell me they were badly engineered, that can't be the only reason, or the engineer didn't produce value.

Wether I write software rooted in business value or has an impact in real world is a moral decision, right? And I think we can both agree that morality has nothing to do with value of a product/service. Example, military weapons. I would not morally do it, but there is value in it right? Who dictates the value of it?

If a shareholder invest money in something, it is because they see value in it, right? Or they invest blindly and expect engineers to create value?

I have found ChatGPT to be factually incorrect in many occasions, what is worse you can ask it for references and it returns very plausible looking Web pages with government domains, but clicking on the links returns 404s.

Students are told not to cute Wikipedia, I am not sure if you should even start with ChatGPT.

On the other hand I have asked it to explain some different concepts and found it did a really good job.

It feels like watching "hackers" explain what they are doing on TV shows. The general audience believes it, but we roll our eyes.

Should be, anyway.
Show HN: Simple Graphviz Library for TypeScript
This is my first post to HN.

This library provides a TypeScript friendly model of the Graphviz DOT language and functions to execute DOT commands.
It also provides a module to manipulate AST as a low-level API.

This library is also used by big names such as Apollo GraphQL and AWS CDK plugins, and has now grown to a 100k+ weekly dl project.

I started this project to use it in the backend of Rediagram framework to generate infrastructure diagrams in React.

Ventoy is a fairly common source of trouble from people trying to boot ReactOS.

It's a nice, well, toy, but its compatibility with various OSes is spotty at best. You're much better off just writing a real CD-R or USB stick with the plain image than trying to manage it via Ventoy.

I guess it's easier if you ignore gravity, water and the earth's curvature.

The land on which you stand may be regarded as a floor. If you put something heavy on a floor, the part near the weight bends down. If you then remove the weight, the floor bends back up (except not 100%). The glacier on Greenland is heavy.

Or perhaps even easier if you include all three. The water that's currently a glacier pushing Greenland down will float elsewhere, and its weight will push most of the world's flooring down, but less so than currently, because the weight of that water will be distributed across a much larger area. That won't compress the planet's magma, ergo, some part of the floor rises as the weight shifts, and the part that lifts is the part under and near Greenland.
Amazon in my country has an image problem. Sure people use it, but people hate it for "killing the high street" and other such nonsense.

Facebook adverts picking random local charities and showing how much they've raised is far better, run them on amazon's front page too.

The local hospice I choose has raised £3k via amazon smile. That's far better PR than them giving £1m novelty cheques to some remote city based charity.

But if we're giving credit, we can't leave out Douglas Engelbart's "The Mother of all Demos"[0] in 1968.

> The live demonstration featured the introduction of a complete computer hardware and software system called the oN-Line System or, more commonly, NLS. The 90-minute presentation demonstrated for the first time many of the fundamental elements of modern personal computing: windows, hypertext, graphics, efficient navigation and command input, video conferencing, the computer mouse, word processing, dynamic file linking, revision control, and a collaborative real-time editor. Engelbart's presentation was the first to publicly demonstrate all of these elements in a single system. The demonstration was highly influential and spawned similar projects at Xerox PARC in the early 1970s.

But I don't think it had manila folders, or called them as such.
