Nothing is really changing.

Currently:

- 70% of people have been buying the absolute cheapest lightning conforming cable they could find on amazon. They buy them in 3 packs, use them until they inevitably catch fire or fray within a few months and then throw them out and use the next one.

- 25% of people buy the cheapest lightning cable they can find on amazon that is rated for MFI. They've been burned enough by the bad cable and are just savvy enough to know there is a made-for-iphone program of "approved" lightning cables that actually conform to standards

- 5% of people buy OEM first-party cables from Apple

...

Now you will see:

- 70% of people buying the absolute cheapest usb-c conforming cable they can find on amazon (which is not "really" usb-c but the plug fits so who cares). They will buy them in 3 packs, use them until they fray or catch fire and then throw it out and use the next one

- 20% of people will buy the cheapest certified usb-c cable they can find on amazon because they are just tech savvy enough to know there is a difference and that its worth finding a good one. But this cable will likely only be usb 2 speeds.

- 5% of people will buy a premium usb-c cable with usb 3 speeds for 10Gbs transfer because they actually use and care about it.

...

As you can see, on the low end nothing changes. Most people will still buy the absolute cheapest cable they can find and have no idea what they are buying or care that there is a difference. These people will still benefit from being able to use the same cable for everything because it fits in the hole and thats all they care or understand.

But at least now there are more options and power available to the tiny percent of the population that actually does care and understand the difference.

All in all, its only upsides. Everybody wins. The only real downside is throwing out whatever collection of lightning cables you might already have.

Remember that as cool as transfer speeds sound, almost nobody transfers stuff using a cable off their iPhone. 99% of people will airdrop a few photos off, download music from spotify/apple music, and stream or maybe download from netflix or disney plus for offline viewing. But really VERY VERY VERY few people are transferring using the cable. For the people that do, they are probably transferring huge video files they recorded off their device and they will know to get a good quality usb 3 compatible usb-c cable. But thats like 1 out of 100 people, if that.
> If a player deletes a game and re-installs it, that's 2 installs, 2 charges

This is genuinely insane — I’m not familiar with any other software in the world that charges a customer for deleting and reinstalling it to the same user/same machine.
> A better assumption would be that they're likely to clear the $100k/mo, but as they said "not guaranteed" to do so.

It’s funny that the vague $100k/mo figure is meant to evoke some sort of response from the reader. The implied assumption seems to be that Unity should not charge anyone this fee because free-to-play exists as an optional business model that a developer can choose to maximize revenue.

Like the boogeyman lurking in the closet is that any indie developer could wake up one day and their game is EVE Online
Agreed, but this could also be said for just about every other modern technology
> - Doesn't use status updates because he believes they are too refined by the
time they get to him. They are not ground truth anymore.

Facts. I worked in a place where one my primary work outputs was a weekly high-stakes status document, and boy this document was refined, and agonized over, and wordsmithed, and revised, and re-revised, and softened, and distilled, and lenghtened, and shortened, until it was precisely the exact narrative that the VP and SVP needed to hear. By the time it went through the hands of dozens of engineering managers and was submitted, it was far, far divorced from reality. Then, rinse and repeat next week. I don't know if/how leadership had a clue what was really happening.
Protohackers was cool because, unlike Advent of Code, the problems seem to have less focus on "can you recognize which classic CS algorithm this is" followed by implementating them with a gotcha.

The best AOC challenges were the ones that had nothing to do with yet another Djikstras or depth first search. Protohackers is almost entirely that.
I've seen around 60 of the films on this list and every one was amazing. Most of my personal top 10 are here.

Genres are all over the place: horror, action, sci-fi, spaghetti western, musical, farce, drama, ... 4 Indian movies. Doesn't look the way people voted is in any way public.
How exactly is that person supposed to use their lightning earpods via bluetooth?
The article's thesis seems to be "Britain's leaders should actually get their sh*t together, because [something] China [something]."

Vague recall is that we've seen more such articles here (HN) recently, and I've seen more elsewhere.

Reaction: Dear Britain... We understand your desperation to get your so-called leaders to behave in responsible and intelligent ways. But this thing with yelling "China!" isn't working, either. Let us suggest that you look abroad - in Normandy and elsewhere - for some fresh blood, who both has the attributes you so badly need, and doesn't feel that conquering your once-consequential little island is beneath his dignity. Don't worry about legitimacy of birth. But you probably want someone who has an ample surplus of upper-class followers, so that he can quickly replace your so-called ruling classes. Best Wishes!
I needed to submit a .pptx file with 1 or more slides that my manager would manually insert into his weekly presentation deck to the exec team.

I admit I never had the guts to submit a slide which asked if anyone was reading it. It did cross my mind.

(It was a Microsoft-by-default-company, as many small hardware/research-oriented companies often are, I guess.

There was also that one week epic fight needed to get approval to run MacOS/Linux in the new "software department".)

OK so they got a famous and trusted sommelier to lie for their story. What does that prove?

My MagSafe MBP still accepts charge via USB-C. In fact I don't know that I've used MagSafe at all with it other than a handful of times borrowing someone else's charger.
When that big Steve Jobs book came out, seemingly overnight every manager up the totem pole from me suddenly became mini-Steves, minus the creativity and product judgment.
I must have landed on the wrong side of an AB test because that text doesn't show up for me on the "Explore Connectivity" modal window. I checked with both Chrome/Windows and iOS.

Anyway I really hope that text refers to DP alt mode, not displaylink. Any USB port works with displaylink chips as long as the OS has the driver
What I was responding to was that it makes little sense to talk about "Androids aging out faster" as some kind of valid justification to pay the premium price of iPhones.

If you manage to make do with the cheaper version of iPhones, ok. But your case (and mine) are outliers, and even in that case Apple's products are not better from an ethical/environmental/fair trade point of view.
Is there any indication of when/where/how much the modules can be purchased for?
This isn't really a solid argument since stockholder investment isn't even "money"; it's collateral in the form of market valuation against which Unity borrows. The actual "money" (dollars in a bank account) comes from lenders who look at a bunch of factors and make determinations about how much $$$ to give. That money isn't free, but it's got very little to do with "the shareholders" in general.
Bro you are the boss. I used to reverse link guacamole ssh instances to do that
So Apple's making more profit than Nintendo, Microsoft and Sony in gaming and somehow they're doing it wrong? You're right that the Mac is a horrible gaming platform. But we're talking profits here. Apple's bread is buttered on the iPhone side, and that's where Apple is looking. They're trying to get the Mac to gain steam, but it's clearly very difficult and their heart's not in it.

In the end it's a business, whoever makes the most money is the market leader. Until the government steps in. You are right that antitrust action is the most credible threat to Apple's positon in gaming. The fact the leadership at Apple has not moved an inch to satisfy governments will be Tim Cook's black mark on his tenure.
How so? Everyone I’ve seen using them just tapes the adapter to their earbuds and keeps the phone in their pocket or arm straps while jogging. Seems like you would have the same issue with a 3.5mm audio jack.

Speakers use Bluetooth or a lightning jack in a cradle.
"hackers consider Cantonese vaguely déclassé" Eric Raymond obviously doesn't have great taste in everything.
Agreed. Citizen Kane was insanely boring even though it’s supposed to be the best movie ever. I need to pull a Wittgenstein and ask: what does the word “best” mean here?

I care mostly about movies that are incredible to me now in 2023. That informs my definition of “best movies”. I am not interested in Citizen Kane’s innovative use of the deep focus technique. I can appreciate an incredible older movie, but not for obscure film buff reasons. If anyone knows of a good best movie list that is free of this sort of pretentious navel gazing, please link it below.

Also, this is a hot take, but at a certain point older movies become worse precisely because of their datedness rather than “more interesting due to what they achieved within their technological boundaries at the time”. If they’re still good, that’s because they have an absolutely stellar story.
I don't like how I have to guess which article the comments are in response to, is this dark pattern copied from amazon product reviews or what is the deal with HN these days?
What bet? That we will need more matrix computations in the future?
I'm not defending our existing system, rather highlighting how incompatible it is as is with heat pumps. We'll get there one day.
Yeah, far be it for me to expect a 2.76 TRILLION dollar company to actually innovate within a single year. My apologies for having such expectations. And my brain is the one rotted. Okay.

I love how downvotes are used here to punish those you disagree with. Such fun. I guess this is now Reddit.
You can get all kinds of currants and gooseberries in the US. There are even blackcurrant plants available that are resistant to the white pine blister rust.
That's a goofy take. I'm not a badass, but I grew up with hot sauce in local restaurants. My dad loved hot foods before color television was a thing. Billions of people in equatorial regions have been eating hot peppers for centuries (and millennia, if you're Bolivian[0]).

Hot sauce is about as faddish as corn and tomatoes.

Seriously, do they not have curries where you live?

S&box is still in progress and using C# but it is now using the Source 2 engine instead. You can actually get invoted to it on Steam and play/build games for it now too.

It previously used UE4 and C# integration was all working with that but, as soon as they found out that they could get access to Source 2, they took the opportunity. Makes sense because the team is significantly more experienced with the Source engine since most of them have previously worked on or with Garry's Mod.
I thought they just sold that business to SquareSpace.

And Open File Manager!

The point here is it’s actually really hard to identify scammy software by name. It only seems that way with extensive domain knowledge. As adoption of Linux continues to grow more people will be duped.
AirTags get about a year of battery life from a 2033 in moderate/typical use cases, according to Apple. That’s 0.675 Wh (Panasonic 2032) / 1 year = 77 microwatts. Or about 7 joules/ day. That’s a lot to guarantee for production. Watch movements are also at least an order of magnitude more expensive than batteries and have a service life.
Oh right, sorry, I hadn’t even thought about other TLDs. I wonder if the rising popularity of .io and .ai domains has shone some light on this issue? Though they are ccTLDs…

Why is the word "unauthorized" in scare quotes?

And a lot of the complaint is about "cases where customers reported being fraudulently induced into

Other than reputation analysis by Snyk, I honestly don’t know how to objectively analyze one repo/package versus another.

Obviously I can make some basic heuristics, but I can’t reasonably evaluate all of the components of trust for every library, package, container, framework, repo even at a regular interval, let alone fast enough to just maintain patch levels (nevermind being reasonably productive).

I actually considered first steps in making a business out of this idea, but I’m convinced that every developer overestimates their ability to identify untrustworthy repos/packages and companies aren’t willing to pay the actual cost (with either subscription dollars or in the friction it would add to reject almost all 3rd party code because it doesn’t meet high standards of quality and security in a transparent and verifiable way).

If you run Arch, I highly recommend checking out ALHP and chaotic-aur.
I mean... do you really need thunderbolt for a phone? Are you powering multiple 8k displays and daisey chaining a hub connected to an external raid storage array?

I get that it would be cool. For the ipad i think it makes sense to do that, but your phone...? Let's get real. Fast charging over a standardized cable with 10gbs transfer speeds is gonna be just fine.

What exactly don't you understand from that concise and official documentation?
one hundred and sixty thousand signed packages with ten+ years of history and of course, one bad one means the system is "weak"
Having worked in 1:1 schools and seen phone use / laptop has in the classroom this seems a step in the right direction. Tech is not the answer to everything in education it is just a useful tool that can and should be used from time to time like. Like a calculator but a more versatile.

What we have in many classrooms is a tech nightmare where tasks are digitized for just the sake of digitizing and attention span is lost, deep learning and concentration is lost and meaning relationships between student / student or student / instructor are diminished.

Pretty sure it's due to my only sibling overdosing in 2019, and the mother of my son dying of cancer in 2020, and my fiancee dying of cancer in 2021.
How do people feel about Django vs flask in 2023? Just trying to farm for other's experiences because I find flask easier to start off with but I suspect I am biased.
As a very occasional user, I think it would be fantastic if NJT could abandon their system of announcing the track number for a departing train at the last minute and thus causing a stampede for every train. (Not to mention a rather unsafe situation at the bottom of the escalator.). As a side effect, a decent fraction of passengers might happily wait on the platform for 10-15 minutes before departure, which might even reduce the degree to which the portions of the station above the platforms are overcrowded.

I suspect a viable plan for this could be arranged for less than $1bn :)
Ah, I remember when we all did that. It was just part of basic due diligence - pull all your dependencies into your own build system, review and check compatibility, then build completely locally.

Of course a lot of what we built wasn’t public facing or exposed to the internet at all, so addressing the latest vulnerabilities in record time wasn’t quite as important as known-good builds.

I’ve worked in one or two places recently (big bank) that are large enough to have their own internal repo systems and teams of security/compliance reviewers. Their versions of things can be a bit behind but are at least under control of the same org. Everywhere else, well, it feels a bit like cowboy country…

(edit - the other trade-off was of course that you wrote a lot more of everything yourself, rather than pulling in whatever you felt like. This slows down the development cycle significantly but it does mean people had a greater understanding of everything in their stack, and products were often more lean as a result.)
1:1s because they were too “busy” to notice. I’m for no 1:1s, but you need a right culture to get that to work

I’m skeptical about this. Why would a faster processor in it of itself be more energy efficient at executing instructions?

Do you mind clarifying this part?
In my opinion handwriting is as useless a skill as is possible. I never use my handwriting - ever. I likewise don’t churn butter, do arithmetic beyond what I can do in my head, or card yarn for my clothes.

There is nothing redeeming about artisanal hand scripting other than writing annotations on objects to label them, and even then a label maker does a better job in every dimension. Typing is a fundamental skill in the modern world, and type written text is not just considerably more legible, it’s also indexable for search etc.

Having a sense of pride is often coupled with a sense of utility and purpose. Few people feel pride in useless exercises done for rote purposes and celebration of the way it was done in the past. Some certainly do, and god bless them. But I feel more pride in my code than artisanal scribbles, in my handiwork, in my learning, etc. Kids are no different. Maybe they feel pride in their Minecraft creations. Is a complex red stone build with intricate visual designs and creative use in game not more compelling and interesting than manipulating a wood stick to make glyphs? A lot of people think the things a kid takes pride in aren’t worth taking pride in, and instead try to make them take pride in something from their own childhood.

They are misidentifying a lack of interest in your interests with a lack of pride in their work.
I worked in ed-tech for a couple of years.

Handwriting is about developing fine motor control which plenty of research have shown is fundamental for developing cognitive skills.

There are exceptions but generally technology rarely helps to learn better compared to pen and paper with a good teacher.
No, and juice jacking is entirely possible right now. It's just more difficult to do than many other types of hw attack & too costly to deploy in random indiscriminate public ports, making it less than viable for most cases outside of nation-state targeted attacks.

Generally speaking any documented cases of juice jacking happening are just red teams doing PoCs.

The problem is, after people like Robert Moses didn’t stupid stuff with their power, we’ve spread the keys to getting anything done to too many people. Fixing Penn station is pretty straightforward, but politically there basically needs to be a dictatorship on the regional level. The ability to do that doesn’t exist anymore

You raise an interesting point, but: That's the total sugars, not just added sugar.

This particular siracha is based around red, ripe jalapenos. And [presumably green, unripened] jalapenos are already 4.1g of sugar per 100g of fruit all by themselves:

No, but I don’t think that you can get 30% more deaths from young people from a failure to measure cause of death. You can caveat that to western society if you want.
It bugs me to no end that they (those that give those instructions) are normalizing this.
So I take it you're still mostly writing your code in machine language (who even needs a macro assembler)? Or BCPL?
I always thought being intelligent and lazy was superior. Why waste my time doing something if I don’t have to? You can ‘clever’ your way out of a lot of hard work and get the same results.
> why Apple is stuck at daily charging

Daily charging is for normal use, including > 2k nits in sun, with always on display. Low power mode gets around 3 days (all sizes I've tried).

But, you point still stands high, especially since it's also using AMOLED! I naively assume the Amazfit is using a much lower power processor. I've played 3d games, at what looks like 60fps, on my Apple watch. I...don't understand why I should be able to do that.
The point of this thread is that storage costs have gone down, and Apple has maintained its nominal prices by being chintzy with the onboard storage. Whether it's good for Apple to be paternalistic by pushing iCloud on people is a separate issue. Someone who already backs up to a computer doesn't need it, but is confused by the messages that appear when their phone fills up.

Also note that photos/videos taken on new phones are much, much larger than on older phones, effectively meaning that you can store way fewer photos/videos than before.
It’s weird how they gauge big or small because what do you compare to the largest thing ever(excluding numbers to say this is small or large?
It's a little expensive, but if you love elderberries, we order the jams from this online store: https://carmelberry.com/collections/all
They become a little less extreme when made into jam; the copious quantity of sugar takes away some of their sharpness. If you like the sharpness, however, gooseberry crumble is the perfect way to serve them!

Are gooseberries grown in India different, or could you pickle, say, British ones to produce the same effect?
I guess the emphasis is on enough but I was pleasantly surprised to find some really good games on Apple Arcade: Slay the Spire, Dead Cells, Exit the Gungeon, Limbo, Stardew Valley, The Oregon Trail, Cityscapes. A lot more outside Apple Arcade but I prefer buying them on Steam so not much first hand experience with them.
Wow this is big.
