For sure, it's a must on any Windows after 7. I don't really consider it a separate shell though since it only changes the start menu and task bar, and is basically identical to previous versions of the official versions.
I think it's encouraged due to milestones always being set with unrealistic ECDs, so every project is always behind and there's always urgent security fixes to 'catch up' on (I work on an AWS microservice as an L4 SDE, and joined 2y ago, for context). So you work in the off-hours thinking you're 'catching up' to the work you've 'missed', when in reality that is just the expected velocity to keep pace, and being 'caught up' is an unreachable goalpost.

I personally just learned to hide lack of progress on one task behind the urgency of another new issue, or keep tasks as vague as possible so that I can slow down on some days and speed up on other days. As a result I don't think I work crazy hours, but there's just a constant, fatiguing pressure of the feeling of 'I should be catching up on work right now'.

And I only recently realized that it's degrading my ability to enjoy any time at all, whether its PTO or just after work hanging out with my girlfriend.

This is my first eng. job though and I can't tell whether its better or worse in other places, and I tell myself it's probably better than the hours required at a startup. And I feel bad complaining to my friends when they're almost all unemployed or working gig jobs. /rant
When you talk about docs at AWS, do you mean internal documentation or the public one?
I'm a totally moderate extreme left winger, but I think this is a big mistake. Science has always been about logic and experimental proof, not political gamesmanship. Yeah, I know politics is part of everything, but I think this hurts the cause for science in a big way. Better to be neutral.
At some point it's dangerous and immoral to stay neutral, particularly for those dealing with hard facts and science.

The desire for "balance" just meets a hard end when one political party wants to openly destroy and deny science.
Thank you muchly for your reply, it's very informative and I greatly appreciate it!
Many pilots already use a smartwatch to track their sleep and provide evidence for fatigue callouts. Right now, pilots are grounded and face an arduous process to prove they're healthy. Most pilots eventually receive a special issuance after a fair amount of hassle. What if this could help keep them flying instead?

> There has always been a way out of obesity, it's just that people does not want to take it.

Common trope, and absolute nonsense. It is the rare person who has been obese for most or all of their lives and prefers it that way or has never thought about or done anything to try and fix it. That is not how people show up at doctor's offices to ask about Ozempic. They show up in tears, at the end of their rope, or having completely given up.

Should we not help them just because you think it's "unfair" that you were genetically more gifted than they, perhaps? I doubt you'd agree with that.
Large organizations staying neutral is why y'all got into this mess in the first place. Climate change denialism should have been met with hard resistance when it first appeared.

Taking a stand now is the bare minimum. Assuming the GOP wins, it's game over for a lot of science in the US - anything that goes against Big Oil is first on the chopping block. Always remember Sharpiegate [1], that was just an indication of what will come.

It might be more common in terms of political power rather than wealth. Nixon, for example, hated the Ivy League-educated eastern establishment ruling elites that he displaced.
Computing and the Internet have matured and become so much more central to daily life. For better or worse, that's going to put limits on the quirks something like a smartphone can have. If your photo library, banking, social media, or even job depends on your phone, it really does need to be rock solid and reliable.

I think what people forget is pre-iPhone, we all saw _something_ coming. Maybe we didn't expect it to look exactly like the iPhone, but there was a sense of excitement around what was coming next for computing. Sony Style magazine was still in print. eCommerce was picking up. Palm phones, Blackberry, Windows Mobile. Super quirky laptops and UMPCs. I remember lusting after some wildly impractical UMPCs, because it meant that everything I did on my desktop could now fit in my pocket.

Even after smartphones took off, I remember sometimes thinking "man, imagine in the future when this stuff is good and it actually just works." A lot of stuff was basically just demos back then. Well, here we are. A huge portion of my life happens on my iPhone, and that really does mean it has to Just Work.

I have run into issues where CSVs are not correct/aligned with PDF statement data that banks are legally obligated to provide. In addition CSVs almost never have balance data. So I download the PDFs and extract data from them. This is much more painful than it needs to be- providing a sensible machine readable PDF involves just following a few simple rules to ensure the 3 or 4 transaction fields, and the few needed statement fields (dates and balances) are extractable without fragile heuristics. There is no conflict between branded and human readable vs machine readable.
The biggest issues are the learning curve (long-standing) and some growing social fractures in the community (boiled over more recently)

The same AI features are coming to the entire iPhone 16 line. The major benefit of the 16 Pro, just as with prior generations, is a faster SoC and better cameras.

The only reason the iPhone 15 Pro was the only of the 15 generation to get the AI stuff is that they happened to put 8GB in that device, giving it enough headroom to not majorly impact user enjoyment trying to cram a multi-GB model into memory. But all of the iPhone 16s have 8GB (+?)

Neither, they're talking about the culture of writing documents as a form of sharing ideas. Where other companies might use powerpoint presentations or unstructured meetings to brainstorm on ideas, Amazon instead encourages people to write a document summarizing their thoughts, and then there is a meeting where people silently read and comment on the document, and then afterwards discuss it.
Caffeine? There are side effects, but it's pretty manageable.
I feel a little disappointed as most new features announced pertain to applications shipped with the OS, rather than the OS itself. Many of these apps I do not use, as I prefer third-party alternatives. For example, I use Firefox instead of Safari, Signal instead of Messages, and 1Password instead of Passwords, Google Maps instead of Maps.

The only OS-level features mentioned are windows tiling and iPhone mirroring. As an Android user, I do not care about the latter, either.

The "general-purpose" differentiation is completely artificial and shouldn't be used except in very narrow circumstances (for example, when discussing the economic impact of the entire mobile market)

The only thing that should matter is the device's raw computing power. The user should have the same level of control over code execution that the manufacturer has post-sale. That should apply to every single appliance and product on the market that uses a chip.
maybe. In my case my big project was cancelled and my engineers borrowed to work on an away team. So yeah, not super productive after that. But other times it was very busy and rewarding.

Fun fact: HTML void elements came first.

XML brought in "empty elements" by adopting SGML's "null end-tag" (NET), part of the SHORTTAG minimization (though it changes the syntax slightly to make it work).

In SGML's reference concrete syntax, the Null End-Tag delimiter is `/`, and lets one omit the end tag.

<p>This is <em/very interesting/.</p>

Here the EM surrounds "very interesting." In XML the "Null End-Tag Start" becomes "/" and the "Null End-Tag End" is ">".

So in XML a `<br />` is syntax sugar over `<br></br>` and identical to it (an element with _no_ child nodes), but in HTML `<br>` is an element which _cannot contain child nodes_ and the `/` was never part of it, required, or better.

As called out in another comment, the trailing `/` on HTML void elements is dangerous because it can lead to attribute value corruption when following an unquoted attribute value. This can happen not only when the HTML is written, but when processed by naive tools which slice and concatenate HTML. It's not _invalid_ HTML, but it's practically a benign syntax error.

ACE 2. labelled gifted as a young kid. have always struggled with people pleasing, and I've had a hard time finding my own center and figuring out who I am. I just focused a lot on external achievement in my youth.

I have undergone some rough trauma but most of the worst of it happened when I was an adult, so I feel fortunate and quite sad when reading some of the responses here.

there's a lot of general disdain about 'former gifted kids' but I do think we often feel pretty 'different' from everyone else growing up, and that alone can be quite isolating.

I manage, I do pretty good work I guess, but I'm definitely not as successful as I thought I would be. home/family life has always been hard. optimistic about the future.

Precisely. OTOH, I am glad that more and more are switching to sweeteners like Monkfruit rather than aspartame and the rest. (Yes, I know the jury is out on them being carcinogenic, blah blah, I don't care - I'm just glad that people seem to want to see a greater variety of sweeteners like Monkfruit and Allulose on the market)
Sorry to hear that. Look, I see what you're saying. But a punitive mentality is never going to lead anywhere. At least not for very long.

My personal experience has been shifting my goal from "weight loss" to the much more empowering role of being a caretaker. This paradigm shift was the hack that finally got me out of terrible eating cycles, and put me in a much better place.

There is definitely a place for Ozempic, particularly as a stop-gap in acute obesity. But I believe it defers personal responsibility for one's nutrition and well-being.
This is a common belief but is actually not true. Heating is a necessity, and resistive heating is a very inefficient use of electricity. Heat pumps (using energy to pump heat up a temperature gradient) yields far greater coefficients of performance. Once you have a heat pump, you might as well use it to also cool things down in the summer.

I've been on semaglutife for a month now. My food cravings haven't disappeared, but their "volume" in my head went from a 10 to a 2.

I no longer agonize over thinking about yummy unhealthy foods. I no longer want to treat myself outside of lunch and dinner. I no longer want portions beyond being full.

Even if the weight loss aspects didn't work, the upside in clear headedness and not dedicating energy to thinking about food has been worth it.

> The solution is replicating the DB and scrubbing the PII. Then the dev can go wild.

In this particular example, often this isn't remotely feasible, either from a business logic standpoint (I can think of plenty of fintech examples), lack of qualified DBA/sysadmins, network admins, cloud cost constraints, methods and controls to ensure to auditors that devs cannot access production data - none of this is trivial, and often to the dev it seems "silly" they may need to wait a few hours for something they could technically access in a few minutes, but acting like these solutions have no tradeoffs or are always worth doing suggests a lack of knowledge as to how these things actually work in a business and on a development team. It certainly isn't always laziness, and I'd even say it's not laziness that often at all.
I've been there and done this and it's effective.

It's an imperfect solution for all of the obvious reasons. I think even the most junior engineer could point out the flaws. I won't insult HN readers by naming them!

But also: effective at some things for near-zero cost. It's probably more effective at "segregating your traffic so that Low Priority Service A can't starve out High Priority Service B" than overall scaling but, sometimes that's what you need.

paying the price of deployment complexity

For us, there was essentially no increase in deployment complexity. There was a small one-time increase in network routing complexity. Essentially requests for "www.foo.com" were routed to one group of servers and requests for "api.foo.com" were routed to another group.

The alternative was decomposing a large monolith. A goal we also pursued. But what you describe was a valuable stop-gap as we undertook that multiyear effect.

> But they don't make money on clicks, they make it on whales, so they are also going to get rid of pseudo-games that can't get whales to spend more microtransaction money.

This video did a very good job of explaining it, to me, someone who never plays mobile games: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NhajAqI66nU (https://archive.org/details/youtube-NhajAqI66nU).

tl;dr: it's all about getting whales into the game. The type of games people will download based on ad game-play are not the most monetizable (b/c whales). So the main game is a highly monetizable city-builder (which whales spend on), with the ad's minigame somewhere (which at most only has a few minutes of playtime). The ad's mini-game is often developed as a concept for the ad first, then only actually implemented later after A/B testing the ads. It doesn't matter that most people will get frustrated and delete the game when it's not as advertised, because the people who do that aren't whales.
That definition sounds very convenient for someone who wants to be racist to a group they've decided has institutional power. I can see why such a person would want to twist the plain meaning of an understood term in such a nakedly manipulative way.

So, from that POV, the rings would not be able to go past the center of the image.

> All of these appear to enjoy a lot of downloads, so whatever tricks they are using works very effectively.

That's because "# of downloads" is a crap metric that's easily gamed (be it by fake ads or bot campaigns or whatnot). A more useful metric would be "# of installs still active after 1/2/4 weeks", that would disincentivize a lot of these scams, but at the cost of Google being able to claim download numbers for the vitality of their app store ("# of app installs a day!!!"), which is why Google doesn't do much against this shit despite the "quality" dragging down the image of the entire Play Store. Unfortunately there is no competition worth the name as the Apple Store is similarly plagued by copycats and fakes, so neither party has an incentive to de-enshittify.

It makes sense if one considers the angle of how single-key shortcuts are much more disaster-prone.

For example, if the user has a large number of files selected and accidentally triggers the open shortcut by hitting enter, their computer is going to be stuck spinning its wheels for a while (the more files involved and the heavier the applications they open in, the worse it'll be) unless they force restart. Involving a modifier key filters for intention pretty well, and so while this scenario is possible with ⌘O, it's far less likely.

Most Mac shortcuts seem to follow this, with those that are single-key by default doing relatively harmless and easily reversible things.
I'll give you an example, having used it: if you want to zoom something, it will take effect where the mouse pointer on the screen is.
I feel the same, but I realized I don't want to be the blunt person; I just want some other blunt person to do my dirty work. This is not really a fair expectation for me to have.

That said I feel like having people who are constructively blunt in your organization can make all the difference. If you listen to stories about successful managers and CEOs it often comes down to bluntness.

It can also go the other way though. Being blunt while lacking in other areas (technical knowledge, judgment, vision, ethics) will just add toxicity.
