None of this Face ID nonsense. A camera which takes pictures. What exactly are you missing? My only gripe is it’s too thin - the battery sucks.
> I know these are examples, so I don't want to pick on you too much, but I have one nitpick: Reserving SSO for enterprise customers is awful. Please don't do it.

SSO is expensive, adding maybe $10/user/month if the team adds in a purchased solution (passing the cost directly onto the client).

If the customer doesn't want to pay for it because they aren't an enterprise, you can't blame the supplier for not supplying it at a lower price than $10/user/month.
Not much of an assumption. Many local-first solutions work from a big wad of JS. I've seen use of WASM to include things like SQLite. It's not pretty.

My point is that if you're in danger of losing your internet connection, you're not going to be able to reliably get that initial JS bundle anyway.
I'm ok to be charged for cloud service. I'm not ok to be mandatory to track my players.
I wonder how much it would cost to add extra tracks in places like the Seattle -> Eugene line (that I recently took, except that the trip back turned into a bus due to ... well, freight I think). It's mostly emptiness, my understanding is that actually laying the track isn't hard.

But the more I think about other rail networks, the more I feel like I almost never see multi-track lines. I think these lines are also being used for freight and yet... is the US really just running uniquely long trains for freight?
There's no point. Kids don't want to.

If you want to get kids on board:

Don't bring back the old things; make new things that are more tactile. Advance them in new ways. For example, instead of using iPads - invest in advanced e-ink tech to bring better digital books to schools.

The piano example is an exception because, you can't really replace musical instruments.

But mechanical type-writers? Why not just invest in better mechanical keyboards, rather than the cheap membrane ones you see in schools so much?
Deadmau5 charging is a straight up swing and a miss but scrolling left and right hasn’t felt right on any other mouse on MacOS, and it’s something I seem to do a lot.
This isn't really new for Apple, they've been doing as much AI stuff on device as possible, there isn't really any change with the A16 as far as I'm aware, just more bigger.
> [...] that alternative money would be biased towards investment or even less productive activities, such as house price speculation.

How is that supposed to work? When the central bank injects money into the economy, they don't earmark it to be only spend in specific ways.

Just to forestall one pseudo-explanation: yes, a central bank usually injects money into the economy by buying government bonds. However (a) they buy the bonds at market prices and (b) the whole process is very well known and announced in advance, so market participants can and will anticipate what is happening. Money in the economy does not act on 'hydraulic' principles where it has an effect first on where it enters the economy and then slowly works its way through.

As a hypothetical: assume that the US Fed credibly announces today in 2023 that in 2030 they are going to keep printing money until American Dollar and the Japanese Yen are at par. (At the moment, 1 USD buys about 147 Yen.)

You can bet your hat that prices in the US would react long before 2030 has arrived, and thus long before any of that new money had been printed and had any chance to slowly work its way through the economy. Nothing special would happen on 2030-01-01 when the money-printing starts, because everything would have long been priced in already for years.

The economy in general, and monetary policy specifically, is all about expectations and anticipation.
That’s a really clear response. I like the details and context you include.

When I was a little kid the original tv series of “the transformers” was one of the most popular children’s shows. The theme song sang, in a sort of robotic chorus: “Transformers: more than meets the eye”. I was trying to make a subtle reference to this, as an inside joke to people the exact same age as me (or people who know the Shia LaBeouf movies, if they even use that same lyric?)
They should have said "the effects of alcohol, which is what you're after". Consuming alcohol in small amounts still produces effects that won't prevent you from working but are pleasurable (for some) nonetheless.

Peter Zeihan had an interesting take on the whole thing:

If society out there was like star wars, there would be traders comming and going now and then. Or someone would already be here, exploiting us - the empire wouldn't be subtle about it.

If society was like star trek, it would make sense that we see drones now and then, but they refuse to get into contact.

If it was like with cowboy beebob with jump-gates, we'd seen those already. And whoever controlls them must be waaaay out of our league, and probably doesn't care that we're even there.
Sorry.

Even with good patterns and processes, the shifting landscape of requirements and priorities and business objectives can lead an application into the weeds.

Initially, you may think you're building a single, focused organ like a liver. A few months in you realize that liver needs to power a specialized toaster for English muffins. Eventually, your core offering becomes a conveyor belt that takes toasted rye bread to the buttering rack, and now you need the toaster that only fits two round English muffins per minute to produce 10,000 square pieces of rye per minute while still relying on the liver for power.

Amtrak says[1] that while they technically have priority, they have no power to enforce it (and the DoJ isn’t doing anything about the problem); so the best they can do is write an irritated-sounding PDF[2]. I think they’d like you to call your representative and ask them to get this fixed.

Maybe. But in that case, adding more consumer spending via consumer credit would be a negative, not a positive?

(Only money that's actually being actively spent makes a difference. If the Fed prints oodles of money but buries it in their backyard, it would have no impact on inflation.)
My sympathy for indie Unity devs wrt this kind of thing is....limited. They made a deal with the devil, and now the devil has come to collect. Tough tits!

The video side of things is super interesting - 4k60 ProRes is an absolutely insane amount of data (something like 12GB/s IIRC?), and the addition of ACES really makes it usable for professional work where a larger mirrorless from Sony/Panasonic/Nikon/Canon wouldn't be practical.

I also found it very interesting that their pics of this feature were with Davinci Resolve on the screen and not Final cut Pro - I guess when it comes to colour, there's no better tool.
You're working overtime to figure out reasons to be aggravated by literally nothing. You want "innovation"? Then be wowed by Vision Pro's lenticular display, sensor fusion, low latency and high resolution and what not.

We care about phone charging cables because smartphones are no longer the toys we got wowed by 15 years ago. They're now an indispensable and highly functional tools we use every day to do actual work. And guess what? We charge them every day.

If you want to experience child-like wonder and be wowed by big movements, move into a field that's developing. Smartphones are a developed field, and there's nothing wrong with that.

Also, iPhone & iPhone Pro are offering some really decent upgrades. 48MP camera (that actually works, and not just says "48MP" like many others) prism optical zoom-in 5x and so on. Lightweight titanium is also a good improvement in day to day usability and comfort.

And this "charging cable" for iPhone Pro also offers 10x faster data transfer which matters to many of us.
They're softening us up for an announcement of the discovery of life off earth. Might be martian, or from one of the ice moons, lesser chance of cryogenic life on Titan.
Technically more than one kind of device, and that device happens to number in the billions, with that many cables already existing in the world for about a decade now.

Do you think USB-C will be around forever? Hint: it won’t. And then all those cables will go to waste.

It's been a few years since I had to deal with a coworker who likes to draw random stuff on a board or a piece of paper, insisting that it is essential for everyone to watch. I never do, as I have learned that guys like this consistently provide the worst explanations because they tend to focus on their drawings, which they like.

I realise this isn't what you said, of course. Maybe you don't do this.

- Can I sideload apps like I do on Android
- Does it have 90HZ ?

Fuck no. My 3 year old phone is better than iPhone 15 expect the video recording lol

What value does iPhone 15 give me that I need to think about upgrading instead of just paying 20$ and getting my phone battery replaced
Autotune and pitch correction are not the same thing. The majority of recent pop songs don't have a noticeable electronic vocal control in the way that the parent comment is describing.

The autotuned vocal style generally peaked in popularity a couple decades ago, and is much less common now (with many of the current top pop artists opting for more organic vocals).

I am a professional iOS developer and I still use an iPhone X. I am convinced this one will carry me another 2-3 years.
I've thought about this and read/listened to some insightful philosophers and classicists consider this very question. The most convincing rationale I've heard comes from the most eloquent, the most learned, most excellent Nathan Dufour Oglesby (https://www.youtube.com/c/NATHANOLOGY)
He summarizes classical Stoicism in his catchy tune "Be a Stoic": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XWuLvsB7UmE
He also spoke recently about classical Stoicism's cosmic paradigm of a living universe: https://www.facebook.com/reel/335961102098589
It's this last point that provides the basis, I think, for Stoicism's sort of renaissance. I say sort of because, as with the Bible, today's constituents often focus on only certain pieces of Stoicism. But it is rooted in this idea that just as various cells all function towards the same purpose of supporting our bodies, so all creatures are part of an interconnected, living universe. This conception leads to the idea that everyone, every station of living being just as with every cell in our body, is in service to a grander scheme. And once more this grander scheme can be used to excuse all sorts of unhelpful acts - so long as they are in pursuit of a greater good.
I myself prefer Epicureanism (there's a catchy tune for that, too https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8hrit65ZSeM).
Unlike Epicureanism - true atheists - Stoicism had its own theological system, a cosmology bound up in the belief in a cosmic force, a fire they called numa/Dios/physos. Modern Stoicism focuses on 2 of 3 categories within Stoicism - ethics and logic. The third field is Physics, under which is included a theological and teleological system that provides a universal context entirely foreign to the teachings espoused by so many today. Here's a podcast I just stumbled upon that does a good job of detailing the critical role the divine force plays in the universe: https://traditionalstoicism.com/the-religious-nature-of-stoi...
Lastly, the interviews in this podcast with Donald Robertson (Stoic) and John Vervaeke (Neo-Platonist) are really, really illuminating and Vervaeke's in particular addresses your precise question: why is stoicism going viral?

I can respect this. There is no problem in saying that Citizen Kane is a boring movie as a matter of personal opinion based on personal preferences in style and technical requirements. Ocarina of Time, which you mention and is often considered the best game of all time, isn't a game I particularly enjoy despite recognizing its many qualities. I simply don't like that type of game very much.
Nice! I haven't ridden on Amtrak nearly as much in recent years, so I've only boarded twice in Moynihan, but it's definitely a _lot_ nicer than Penn Station, and it's nice to hear that the benefits go beyond just cosmetic.
Show HN: Yaksha Programming Language Playground
I'm using v86, debian and tcc to run an x86 linux vm in the browser with Yaksha programming language. There is no backend thanks to v86. It is all in the browser. (iOS does not seem to work). I was able to get it working even in my Pixel 3A.

Singapore has only recently become affluent, mostly thanks to hard work by the locals, but also partially thanks to policies that did not discourage people from putting in that hard work.

I'm not sure what you mean by monocultural? Singapore is famously multicultural.

Singapore is very open to foreigners. Almost no one's family has been here for longer than three or four generations. I'm not sure where you get xenophobic from? (However, they do like some foreigners more than others. Just like in the rest of the world, people who came from affluent places to spend money are typically the most welcome visitors.)

Authoritarian might be true, depending on your definition of the world. To call them 'borderline fascist' you'd need a rather torturous definition of fascism (or a generous definition of borderline).

Yes, Singapore is a city-state. For comparison, Berlin and Hamburg are also city states in the federal system of Germany and enjoy considerable autonomy, but with less success. I agree that more cities should become independent and be better run as city-states. London would be an interesting candidate.
I don't know if you've ever been to a gym, but the ones I've been to all have a women's workout section. It's usually connected directly to the changeroom, so if you're allowed to use the women's changeroom, you also have access to the women's workout section.

I am unaware of men having an issue at the gym with such a layout.

These are quite overlapping norms that nobody truly has a problem with (except maybe gym builders, but I don't know any to ask.)
Yes, but "local-first" and "Big JS" aren't related. Sure you can build any monstrosity and make it local-first. And my local-first software can be a Tauri app, installed-once, or any kind of local software for that matter.

No, as already stated by others here, what many people are after when drinking wine is a flavor profile or (in the case of some beverages served in summer) a refreshing quality separate from the effects of the alcohol.
I am not an anti-apple fanboy (I own enough of them to qualify). I am an electrical engineer who had experience with apple fanboys in the past, when explaining why I think a switch to USB-C would be good.

Back then people were grasping for straws to explain why apple is right to keep lightning, now that apple has made the switch the very same people will now praise the decision they argued against a few months prior.

It is fascinating how people will convince themselves of things if they want to be true. And a cautionary tale, I wouldn't exlude myself from falling for similar thinking in other situations.
>I suspect the rationale behind not telling people beforehand is that they don't want to have to deal with people trying to get on at the same time as people leaving, but I feel like the main reason people are so aggressive about trying to get to the train as fast as possible on Amtrak is precisely _because_ the system treats them as too irresponsible to get timely accurate information. If people didn't need to worry about having only a couple short minutes to avoid missing their train and could plan ahead where to be when the train arrived, I think that a lot of people wouldn't feel the need to try to jostle through the crowd to race each other for the earlier spots in the line.

Agreed, this is the case with the LIRR, the tracks are usually known well ahead of time and so when the train arrives, people stand to the side of the doors so anyone on the train can get off, and then relatively orderly board the train. Very little rushing involved.
Goodbye to All Those Tattered iPhone Cords
I'd request that the HN headline be changed - it doesn't match the article headline and sounds much more like an attack on linux itself, rather than a supply-chain attack on a particular piece of software -

Visual studio does give a fairly detailed explanation of what was compiled each time, in the output>build view.

The ability for it to replace a macbook air if you add a keyboard/mouse/screen for one. How about a 3d camera for integration with vision pro? There's still so much they can do.

Even the previous iPhone had lots of great actual new features. Always-on OLED display. Action Camera mode. Auto focus capable front-facing camera. Dynamic island. 2000 nit brightness capable screen. Satellite SoS. Car crash detection.
Then you're experiencing acceleration, just in the opposite direction.

> TIL: Credit cards are banned in Europe. /s

They are not banned. They are heavily regulated in many European countries.

In several of them:

- Cashback systems are simply banned.

- Credit card are by default Debit Card. The credit option need to be opt-in.

- Credit Card payments spread over several months are discouraged or simply banned by default.

Credit cards are also much more rare.

With an average of ~1 Credit Card per inhabitant in some countries. Where the US average is ~4 Credit Card per inhabitant.
It's a supply-chain attack on Free Download Manager, rather than on linux itself. The truncated HN headline makes this seem like it's a general linux problem.
I used to travel with a DSLR, and while the photos were phenomenal in comparison to my phone's output, the ease of minor edits, photo reviewing and management, backups, and posting them were strong enough reasons for me to ditch my camera setup.

I now travel with an Insta360 X2 that is much more convenient and compact, but there are certain types of photos (night time, star trails, light trails, portraits, etc) that phones and action cameras are just laughably bad at.
I’m not GP but I would personally love for the smart watch to replace the smartphone so that I don’t have to carry one around. I know that’s sort of possible in some places, but it isn’t where I live as many of the Apps necessary to interact with society require a smartphone.

I’n sure the blame for this belongs more on the app makers than the device manufacturers, but I think it’s still an answer to what your asking.
The value is iOS. If you dont care about its features then yeah stick with your mi 10.

Phones have gotten to a point where the only reason to upgrade is lack of software support in my opinion.

If you're using browser APIs to do lean local interactions, then good for you. Gold star. Fully approved. That's not what I've been seeing recently from the people around me who are most excited about this stuff.

And you're right about how connectivity changes over time. But how many people are on their bikes when applying for unemployment insurance? I just don't think most business apps benefit from this level of offline support. There are of course use cases for this! But it's not the common case.
