Most of what we do is pretty useless anyway. Does the world really need another online shop, another way to watch movies online, another social network?

I think projects which get cancelled or never released are great. I get to do the fun parts - the design/architecture and solving the hard implementation problems - but not the endless of hours of tweaking, bug fixing, dealing with the inevitable pre-release business pivot which turns the software from a beautiful solution to Problem A into a horrible kludge for Problem B. And I still get paid!
> there’s nothing wrong with this opinion, attitude, what have you. it is useful. important.

This is dead on.

There's a lot of value in knowing where one fits and thrives in the dev process. We need people that thrive building the v1's and we need people that thrive extending the v1's into v2's and beyond. They are both really valuable.

I suspect the placebo effect has limited duration for those who are experienced with psychedelics. I can imagine wrongly thinking you’ve been dosed for about 90 minutes, but after that one would surely know, at least for LSD.
I feel like if a product is abandoned it should become freeware for all to use so the electronic devices involved have a less of a chance to become ewaste.

If you want to jump out of the plane, please pick a provider that serves skydivers. Do not try to open the door of a regular plane from a normal airline. Moreover, please do not try to make it illegal to have airlines that don't allow opening the door during mid-flight. It makes flying more dangerous for all of us, especially those who don't happen to have a parachute around.

No one is forcing you to stop loading whatever you want on your phone. Just pick a phone manufacturer that allows that. There is a difference between "I want to load anything on my phone" and "I want to load anything on any phone I choose, even from a manufacturer that specifically caters to people who are quite reluctant to load your code unchecked on their phones".

It’s weird, but I’ve gone the opposite way. Whenever I get to the point where it’s ‘lie down and give up, or get up and fight’, I feel like it’s perfectly fine for me to just lie down and see if I’ll have motivation another day.
The M2 is a great chip. That's why I think a chip that can beat it would also be great. Since the M3 is not available, benchmarking against the M2 seems like a pretty reasonable thing to do. The M2 was a nice bump over the M1, and the M3 doesn't promise huge gains over the M2, so AMD's result here is still pretty exciting.
I have a single cable that can handle up to 100W of charging power and a single anker charger with usb-c port. I can charge my phone, headphones, laptops(macbook included), powerbanks, I can transfer data and power between my devices just by connecting them(want to charge a phone with another? Easy peasy, want to transfer data across devices? Easy peasy). And all this with a single usbc cable, so tell me again how this is not a unified experience compared to the need to bring with me 2/3 cables to charge macbook/ipad and iphone/airpods?
"The Aviator" [1] about Howard Hughes? Love to also talk about real startups movies without failure as a main theme. For example, "The Social Network" (includes Winklevoss and Eduardo Saverin "failures"). We have other non-fictional ones such as "The Founder" [2] about McDonalds. Classic: "Pirates of Silicon Valley". Ford v Ferrari (amazing if you have not seen it) [3].

And what about "Citizen Kane" [4]? The Fabelmans, Steven Spielberg's biography. Have not watched entirely the last ones about Steve Jobs, I don't think they captured the real character and complex personality.

So, type 2 diabetes impacts your ability to eat certain foods?
My goodness, this describes me perfectly as well. The countless choices of a blank slate brings anxiety to a recovering perfectionist like me. Do I choose A or B or Z?

I prefer improving things rather than creating them from nothing. I’ve come to a similar conclusion as the author as far as how to get out of the fog of greenfield: Satisfice instead of optimize.

In this context, optimizing refers to choosing the best among N options. In contrast, satisficing means choosing the first option that’s good enough. Often, the opportunity cost saved from satisficing is greater than the marginal value gained from optimizing.
Pay. The auto industry on a whole pays not just less than FAANGMULA, but also less than banking, telco, and consulting.
They are, and so are 99% of articles ( even Tech Enthusiast focused ) on the internet.

One could understand, why they need to market the hype ( or bait ) to switch to 5G. On the other hand, most of the marketing point, like self driving vehicles, remote surgery operation, mmWave for everyone, or so called up to 20Gbps are by most's [1] people's standard "lying". They could have used other marketing points , but somehow marketing for tech has become something else.

If you talk to most if not all engineers working on 5G, whether that is the 3GPP spec, or actual network implementation in both software and hardware. They would all tell you the truth, 5G is simply a better 4G. And to be honest, as an Engineers, Tech Enthusiast, and also a consumer. That is good enough for what it is.

[1] May be not America because it seems you could get away with Tesla type of marketing and hype without immediate penalties.

Yes! Don't neglect vacation time and be sure to take a proper vacation. None of this "I'll be gone but I'm still reachable" bullshit. Lie and say you won't have access to a computer if that's what it takes.

And be sure the vacation is long enough. 2 weeks straight is probably the optimal balance between practicality and relaxability. Though in many cases you may be capped at 1 week straight, but that is still far better than no break at all.

It’s kinda like a Marie Kondo vs a carpenter type situation and I get both sides.
>Suffice it to say that the gap between programmers and non-programmers in how they think and understand the process of developing software is enormous, and too large to bridge.

Programmers speak programming languages. Common men speak human languages.

Incidentally, this is also why "AI" became such a big hit with the masses in such a short period of time: For the first time ever, common men can communicate with computers using human languages instead of programming languages.
On my Pixel, there's a "Keep the Screen Dark" in the digital well being settings. It's nested 4 screens in or whatever, but it's there.

Going from an older device to a Pixel 6, I would say that there is some additional complexity in the settings, but directionally, the changes make the device nicer to use.

So like the setting in the alarm isn't the overall device control, it's deep in the digital well being settings (complexity), but there is a way to set the phone to be less disruptive, with quite a bit of control (directionally correct).
I still kinda fail to see how this would work in practice. For instance I'd set it up so that a child could see full nudity (let's say greek art or primitive warriors are fine) but no sex (no masturbation, no intercourse)

A site would then have to tag each page with the relevant metadata, including user generated contents, and decide if any specific picture is nudity but not sex. But then my definition of what is sex will probably not match the sites'. Someone fully clothed rubbing it against a table should be banned for me but would probably pass withtout a tag, etc.

Basically, the very concept of having tags to accurately convey the nuances of what's happening in a page or media is complicated, and have that happen at the internet level looks to me like an unsolvable problem.

Some would say "better something than nothing", but I think we quickly fall into problematic cases when muslim libraries start to rely on it to block profane pictures for instance, where a decently maintained white list would work better.
Yeah, I agree, I have no idea why people keep investing in companies that don't turn a profit, or companies that seemingly don't care about being profitable. It doesn't seem like most startups are interested in being sustainable, they're just interested in reaching the next funding stage, and eventually getting a big payout.
Microusb wasn't forced. Usbc is. Also, if apple wants, they can include both usbc and lightning for eu market
I think an analogy is "enterprise software". You always get the worst software when it's designed and approved by a committee that doesn't get hard user feedback (feedback in the sense that people just won't use it if it's bad). So things are released with shit usability. Add on the cost overruns and scope problems that come from people that don't really know software dictating top down what they think it should do, and you get what happens in most industries.
Oh yeah, what I saw of Kirigami ... kind of sucked.

From what I could tell (purely from use!) they have at least 3 different UI toolkits: Qt Widgets (the traditional, solid feeling and looking applications), Qml with Qt controls (looks mostly traditional, but has some weirdness around scrolling, sometimes it's extremely spongy) and Kirigami, which is the worst of them all with the weirdness of Qml-based apps AND a look different from the standard platform theme (kind of like material design but with the proportions being all off). There might be some configurations/frameworks in between these because some applications would have normal touchpad scrolling, but were then also scrollable by just dragging the mouse cursor (touch scrolling was hit and miss in Qt Widgets apps, Dolphin for instance just wouldn't do it, touch-based right clicks are of course another horror).

Ideally I'd be totally behind Kirigami, I like the idea and I like Qml quite a lot too. But the UX was HORRIBLE.
Looks like it was lead by Apple with considerable input by Sony.

At first I wanted to alert you that homely means ugly, however then I googled the definition and found that it means ugly for AE and cozy and comfortable in BE, according to Oxford.

Still maybe good to know that it has such diverging meanings.
Usually I like reading the HN comment section as it is one of the few places (I know of) where people communicate in a respectful manner. Unfortunately, conjecturing about someones IQ in this manner because his view differs, makes me reconsider this.
> However, the MoU also allowed for the use of proprietary charging interfaces, and one such solution continued to be used (and still is) by a major mobile phone manufacturer, thus preventing full interoperability. In addition, the MoU never addressed the environmental issues arising from the continued existence of those different charging interfaces and charging communication protocols.

So the reasons are:

1. We want everyone to do the same, no exceptions. In particular, we don't like Apple and the lightning standard.

2. It's better for the environment.

Now, 2. is clearly wrong, as now just all the people already in the Apple ecosystem need to switch their lightning equipment to USB-C equipment, adding tons of waste.

And 1., well, is no reason at all. It's how you successfully stop innovation.

What exactly is product sense?
Product sense is a unique blend of skills, experience, and intuition that allows a product manager to understand what customers need and translate that into a product that meets those needs in a way that is profitable for the business. It's a combination of empathy to discover meaningful user needs and creativity to effectively address those user needs, resulting in a successful product.

To help illustrate this concept, let's explore some examples of products that have triumphed thanks to exceptional product sense:

Apple iPhone - The iPhone, introduced in 2007, revolutionized the mobile phone industry with its unique combination of hardware and software design, making it the go-to smartphone for millions of users worldwide. The iPhone was a result of Apple's strong product sense, which focused on creating a seamless user experience.

Netflix - Netflix started as a DVD-by-mail service, but with the rise of streaming, it quickly pivoted and became the leading streaming service in the world. The company's strong product sense allowed them to anticipate the shift in consumer behavior and pivot their business model to stay ahead of the competition.

Slack - Slack is a workplace communication tool that has become incredibly popular due to its ease of use and ability to streamline communication and collaboration within teams. Slack's success is largely due to its strong product sense, which focused on making workplace communication more efficient and enjoyable.

These are just a few examples of successful products that were built on strong product sense. There are many more out there, and these products continue to be successful due to their ability to continually adapt to changing customer needs and market trends.

How to Develop Product Sense as a Product Manager
Developing product sense is essential for any product manager who wants to consistently create products or make changes to existing products that have a positive impact on users. It's a combination of empathy and creativity that allows product managers to understand the unmet needs of users and develop solutions that effectively address those needs. A product manager with good product sense is capable of championing successful features or products that were not obvious to others.

Product sense is a combination of empathy to discover meaningful user needs and creativity to effectively address those user needs, resulting in a successful product.

Building empathy:

Observe people interacting with products

Deconstruct everyday products

Improving creativity:

Learn from great product thinkers

Be curious about changes in technology and your domain

Building product sense is a key part of the job for product managers and requires constant learning and improvement. In this article, we will discuss four practices that can help you develop your product sense and become a better product manager.
In a typically bad episode of the simpsons, they had a coffin cam, which always struck me as something that you definitely don't want to do, but probably someone has.
I am genuinely surprised Apple doesn’t just go portless in the EU out the gate.
> Apple hasn’t been flawless with naming, but does seem less clumsy on average.

An extremely narrow range of SKU’s in a product line with an extremely short history makes that easier.
Yes, let’s waste space that could be used by battery and compromise water/dust proofing by install another port.

I purchased an InfiRay P2 and it started failing the day after I purchased it. Had to return it. I suspect the seller just resold the defective unit over and over. Nice device if you can find a working one.
I'm kind of there right now.

I really needed a week off in December, and that got delayed 3 times by 3 months of crazy overtime, and something in me just broke. I finished the project but there were a few days in there where it took real fortitude to keep going and put myself in my desk chair.

I took a week and a half off, which wasn't anywhere close to enough after that, and after a couple of aimless weeks back, I quit my job and now I'm starting a new one and I set up a month off in between. I don't know that it's been quite enough, but it has helped immensely. I'm going to be taking at least a week off per quarter for better mental health maintenance.
If this isn't a straightforward anti-competitive lawsuit I don't know what would be.
Discipline and proper understanding of the goals with buy in from those involved and how a given task advances towards that goal. Productivity should follow organically from that.
Well, given that he references papers from the "corn refiner's association" immediately afterwards, I'll note that this may not be entirely unbiased. This entire industry in the US has immense political clout, and that may well extend to publishing questionable research that comes out in their favour to confuse wider debate and regulatory change.

Agreed, this site was a rather unpleasant experience to read and contrast was certainly among the issues for me as well.

I know some people who seem to be able to push forward year after year after year, maintaining this extremely productive pace and having no apparent issues with burnout. I wonder what makes this possible, is it based in a healthy upbringing, some innate brain properties, or did they just luck out into a local equilibrium of life-work?
This was an intentional choice. Repositioning when an outer element scrolls is pretty janky in some cases because scroll events don’t fire at 60fps. Also it’s not possible at all in other cases, like if the trigger goes completely out of view. We used to close the popover in this case but this caused usability problems. The new behavior of preventing scroll actually matches native platforms like macOS and helps with these issues. I get that it’s a little opinionated but it was thoroughly considered, not just done out of laziness. More details in this answer: https://github.com/adobe/react-spectrum/discussions/3802#dis...

I think AI can be a force multiplier for asset turnaround time by helping artists who don’t have particular preferences for vision make generally real-world recognizable objects quickly and build meaningful libraries of models to help build world building sets.

Theres also non-AI work that can help dynamically fill scenes with world meshes to help create seamless transitions between spaces as a part of overall terrain development.

A lot of this tech will be proprietary in nature, and it may be a long time, think decades, if ever that we get to use it as general creators.

It means that the gap between studios and bedroom professionals who used to create the mods that became full fledged intellectual properties that dominated for years will widen and there will be fewer opportunities for individual authors and small teams to become the next generation of production studios.

This will happen while large organizations enjoy extreme technical leverage while not having many great ideas to execute on simply because there will be fewer fiction writers and fewer studios who have concentrated technologies.

I currently don’t see much room for the next Zoid to create the next CTF gamemode.

I don’t really see anything meaningful come out of community contributions to games anymore ever since the introduction of the UGC model which has superseded the traditional modding model.

Instead of modders using game software mechanisms to create something new and interesting organically, UGC structures in games are explicitly designed so that creators can only do nominal things like create hats and skins for the most part.

It’s shifted the mentally from, “Here are the tools we used to create the game,” to “Here’s what you’re allowed to create and put on a marketplace so we can take a cut of profits.”

It’s gross, it sucks, and it’s another example of rug-pulling. Future generations will completely miss out on the previous paradigm because there’s so much focus entrenched on user-generated content versus modding.
They were one of the contributors to USB-C based on the learnings from lightning though, and one of the earliest adopters of it with their Macs.

I get people want to do the whole “<XYZ Company> is evil” but at least get the basics of the argument right.
>The reason scientists submit to these journals is that your career depends on which journal you published at.

Yes, I agree and wrote a previous comment repeating the reason you gave: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27804504
Love it. I'd add a 3rd reason to her list, which is not a human bias like the two, but just that high-fidelity mocks lock ideation in the hands of UX.

PMs & engs typically don't have Figma editor rights (I worked with a PM who briefly had it once, and then had it revoked for stepping out of line) or Figma knowledge to brainstorm ideas.

And a 4th reason: high-fidelity mocks encourage snowflake "Figma being used as a new Photoshop" to do novel pixel-perfect layouts instead of the design system's stock/boring layouts.

Show HN: GitWit – AI generated repos and PRs
Hi, I’m James and I want to make software development more accessible and enjoyable.

I made GitWit to be a friendly assistant for developers. It can generate and then modify git repositories based on prompts. It adds changes to repos as branches which can be turned into PRs.

Under the hood GitWit is using GPT to make a plan for which files to add or change and to generate code. I use it mainly to build full-stack apps, but you can really go wild as far as the stack and language you use it for.

An actual example of what building a project with GitWit is like:
- https://blog.gitwit.dev/posts/build-and-test-an-app/

Anyone can sign in now and start making new repos at gitwit.dev. Thank you in advance for your feedback!
