Well of course as any technical choice this is a compromise These are all very valid points, that we did consider, but I think the alternatives were just not as good.

I feel less strongly about apps not looking like system apps; in fact, I kind of dislike apps that try too hard to look like the settings page: I like when they bring some variety, some personality, something that makes them stand out. Though I agree that broken interactions are unbearable, e.g. apps that break the "swipe back" gesture.

It could have been a web app as well (in fact, the initial version was), but some offline functionality was needed, and service workers messing up caching and iOS not being a great player with PWA, it just ended up being more painful than it should have been.

Or we could have built 3 apps, which I would have loved (but we are a team of 3, and working on a bunch of other things at the same time). Flutter does have a fairly good developer experience (its hot reload cycle is unmatched in my opinion), but of course native development, with all the support libraries you get from the platform, is on a different level.
(What even is native though? Is UIKit "more native" than SwiftUI? Is Safari native? And how about the web apps you open in Safari? It's JS code, but at some point it's compiled to ARM instructions, now running from the very same memory pages as Safari, does that make the web app native?)

Having said that, it's not like I need to convince you to try out our app, it's good that we have options and probably Apple Invites is what works best for you!

But out of curiosity, when is the last time you did try out a Flutter app?
Because they have been improving a lot, in fact for quite some time they ran better on iOS than on Android thanks to the new Impeller rendering engine (now default on Android as well)[1]

They did some work for accessibility on Web, too.[2]

BTW it's funny you mention React Native, I last built something with it a long time ago... and it wasn't that good - but I just realised I do use some React Native apps right now, so I guess they also improved a lot; I should give it a shot again!

Very cool, that's an interesting and useful visualization. I work in infectious disease forecasting, and I wanted to give it a try already. However, the csv columns are
`State,County Name,x,y,Color,...,Largest City,County Full,State Full`
whereas our US model outputs are expressed using census geoids[1] (5-digits for county), and I believe that would also be the case for other potential users. In that case one would need to merge with the county dataframe[2]

It's possible that people with underlying health conditions (that might make them more sensitive to salt) naturally tend to consume less salt because of their health issues. Similarly, those with certain health issues might be advised by doctors to restrict their salt intake, leading to the "low salt = poor health" part of the U shape.

It's reverse causality for the low end. Almost nobody is on a low sodium diet.
There’s an important distinction here: having an easier time in the job search does not mean having it easy on the job. Sexism, misogyny, and systemic bias still exist in tech. Companies that tokenize diverse hires also lack the programs and policies to actually support underrepresented employees once they’re in the door. It’s a classic bait and switch.
While looking at a flight price on sas.dk I had to disable Firefox's built-in enhanced tracking protection.

It seems excessive to not allow at least a single query in this situation.

I had the same with a newspaper which I subscribe to. They shouldn't be tracking me, and don't show adverts to subscribers. In this case I wrote to their support person, who told me not to block the tracking.

Seeing as everyone seems to be recommending that, I'll give it a look haha. I am pretty comfortable with Linuxes (Linuces?), I'm only on windows right now out of habit and program support, but I believe that Linux has a lot better compatibility these days through things like Proton. And if I really do need something Windows-flavoured again, I can just spin up a VM or something haha
JavaScript Decorators and Annotations: A Practical Guide to Metaprogramming
I can assure you this isn't true. Having worked with GPUs for many years in an application where consist results are important it's not only possible but actually quite easy to ensure consistent inputs produce consistent results. The temperature and clock speed do not affect the order of operations, only the speed, and this doesn't affect the results. This is the same as with any modern CPU which will also adjust clock for temperature.
Elon Musk proposes putting the U.S. Treasury on blockchain for full transparency
The problem there was really that Java confused unrecoverable errors with recoverable errors. NPEs and divide by zero should make the program abort (possibly with another, completely different mechanism to catch these if you really want to, a la Rust's panic handlers).

Recoverable errors should all be checked exceptions, and a part of each function's type signature. This would still be a huge pain to deal with, though, with the existing syntax.

I strongly agree; in fact I think what best matches the thought process is something like the multiset tree/forest workspace approach as suggested by Marcolli, Chomsky, and Berwick - a Hopf algebra that can be externalized into (non-planar) embeddings of linearized strings, or alternately into semantic manifolds.
Would you recommend using these large models for parsing sensitive data - probably say bank statements etc?

Exactly, until the judiciary system decides on the illegality of the act, the rest of society is oblivious to the nature of what happened. I'm sure that if something like that happened to you personally you'd know many of the facts at play, but if you cannot prove thorough the courts that something illegal occurred, it didn't

How often do you actually act on something you saw in the news, within, say, a month?

I avoid news qua news as much as possible and try to read up on things after a month or so, when the heat has gone out and more sober analysis has taken place. E.g. I'm vaguely aware there was a plane crash recently and look forward to reading a proper writeup of that at some point, but I doubt there's anything to be learnt from diving into detailed coverage right now.

For Wifi, things with the ath9k was the gold standard for a while, though then Qualcomm bought Atheros, but supposedly the followup ath10k/11k/12k drivers are decent too.

Mediatek MT76xx/79xx (mt76 driver) are also considered very good.

See https://github.com/morrownr/USB-WiFi/blob/main/home/USB_WiFi... (yes this is specifically about USB adapters, but usually the same driver is used for built-in WIFI in access points as well)

Apple lashes out at iPhone porn app maker and the EU rules allowing its download
There was/is a trend of "science gyms" that do 20 minute per week personal training.

The meticulous PT format and exercise selection allows them to achieve more muscle gain in 20 minutes per week than median trainees achieve in 2-3 hours. The short sessions make personal training economically viable.

That said... optimizing that heavily tends to eliminate all unmeasured benefits. The habit forming. Mentality/personality changes that would occur from more typical exercise approaches. Cardio. Etc.

But... it does demonstrate the principle.

Minimum effective doses are powerful. But, they require precision.

Also... you need to consider the candidate. If your body is adapted to almost no exercise... it is also highly sensitive to seemingly small doses of it.

What is or is not "exercise" is mostly determined by proximity to your day to day.

If you never exercise, never speak to other people, or never eat any fresh food... a little goes a very long way.
> But for the best experience you want every video to start playing in less than a second.

Even Netflix and Disney+ do not have that. The TV also takes some time to respond.
Desktop apps are in the best place to silently download and install updates. This can be with a schedule via OS, or some background service that is always running even if the main application isn't.

This has worked very well for Chrome for a very long time, the only time it doesn't is for people like me that restart the computer only every couple of weeks.

Discord could have a similar model but choose not to for some reason.

It’s a great read and a great advice.

There’s something I’ve noticed lately. The only thing that differentiates bad from great is time, and IMO talent is often mistaken with preference.

E.g. it’s not like great engineers become great by work and talent. The best I know love reading, talking, experimenting and exploring. In the evenings, over weekends. It’s time, but time over the preference.

I liked to ask people during job interviews what they find fun in computing and (anecdotally of course) even deep introverts have that spark in their eyes when they’re fascinated.

Edit: I also remembered that Tiny Habits by BJ Fogg talks about that topic. Good read and strategies there worked for me.
Totally agreed this is not a solution we are looking for, in fact this is the only solution we have in our hands right now. It's a good step forward.

"Very few of the places I worked kept the default name anyway, for entirely unrelated reasons."

You already had the problem you're whinging about, even without any culture war.

And I really do mean it when I say you are 'whinging' here: of all the things people in software have to deal with, what something is called is among the more trivial.

A policy that strips people of money, even with good reason, is much more disruptive than "what's this called?", that you call this "bullshit" and *this* is your comparison? It's like a posh person in WW1 saying that their caviar being rationed is more important than the troops getting winter jackets.
According to other Wikipedia articles (https://sv.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sorex_lyelli), almost half of that length is the tail, so that might explain it. Also, I assume most of the "bulk" you see in the photos is fur (which a small mammal in a harsh climate needs a lot of for insulation).

Tabbed chat windows are a newer invention than the 90s. Late-00s messaging apps all had the same, rather convenient, arrangement: a tall window with the contact/conversation list, and a tabbed window with your current conversations. Things like profiles and settings would also open in separate windows. But yeah that's my ideal desktop chat app UI tbh. It's a shame that out of the current ones, only Steam and Battle.net are like that, and those aren't even messaging apps, they're game launchers with social functionality as an extra.
This is an interesting comment, because it won't matter to who? I can't tell if you are pro or anti Musk. Are you saying that Musk misinterpreted the investigation and so shut down Starlink, or that anti-Musk people will misinterpret this news. Also, when you reference the "falsehood that Musk deleted the IRS Direct File program", it is also unclear who's falsehood it is. Musk was the one who claimed he "deleted" it. Then various people freaked out. But I think it then caught on more on the anti-Musk side. And, then seemingly nothing happened. We live in weird times.
I did the same too, but by ingesting Wikipedia's current event portal. The result is a decent balance of world events, but without the sensationalism.

>>but then every 3 year you got to take the hatchet, grab each chicken, cut right on the neck and then hang it with it's feet while it's bleeding out and flapping its wings.

We've had chickens - up to about 20 at times - and have never done this. We're not farming them. Once they become too old to lay they can still hang out with the other chickens and scratch around. We don't mind that they're "retired".

I have had to dispatch sick chickens, or ones that have been attacked by foxes, but that's maybe one a year if that and I typically do it by wringing their necks.

//edit// And if you have a rooster, it stops a lot of the intra-hen fighting, especially if you introduce new hens into the flock.

You block all VPN users then, and currently many countries have some kind of censorship, please don't do that. I use a personal VPN for over 5 years and that's annoying.

I understand the other side and captcha/POW captchas/additional checks is okay. But give people a choice to be private/non-censorable.

Enabling/disabling a VPN each minute to access the non-censored local site which blocks datacenters IPs, then bringing it back again for the general surfing is a bit of a hell.

They're doing something you don't like so the assumption is that it's illegal, but people aren't even sure what law it's supposed to be. And they're probably right that it's illegal, because there are so many laws that any given thing is a violation of any number of them. But that's the problem. If you actually enforced all of the laws on the books, everyone would be in jail.

The only reason they aren't is not that most people are violating precisely zero of the many thousands of laws they've never even heard of, it's strictly a lack of enforcement.

Which is where that attitude comes from: If the only reason anybody isn't in jail is that they haven't become a target and so nobody has bothered to look up which laws they're breaking, whether you broke a law or not is no longer relevant because the answer is always yes, and the thing that determines whether you go to jail is who your friends (or enemies) are.

If you want to get back to the rule of law, you need to get back to having only laws that ordinary people can understand, remember and follow.

The fact that it doesn't take advantage of the multi-window nature of desktop systems. Everything happens in one single large window — like on an iPad.

In particular, my issue with modern IM app UIs is that the chat switcher is merged with the chat list. You can't have multiple chats that you're currently active in open at once and switch quickly between them. If you switch away from a chat, you have to find it again in the list to return to it, possibly requiring a lot of scrolling and multiple clicks for what could've been one click or even a keyboard shortcut.
Let me put it another way. Trump is likely to try many outrageous and unexpected things.

As someone who tries to be non partisan, and isn't even american, I am fatigued by all of the claims that the world within the USA is ending. Whenever I take the time to examine any of the claims they tend to be fairly hollow or making slippery slope arguments.

As an international user of reddit, there are many of us I presume, I want the outrage to be saved for Trumps undeniable and worst offenses. In my eyes the memecoin was worse than anything which has happened since he became president and yet it has completely left the collective focus. Everything since then has just been a mix of people allowing trump to dictate the media cycle and the deep state deploying its immune system.

In theory if DEI was about being race, sex, gender, sexuality, age blind, it wouldn't be controversial.

But companies went in hard with things such as quotas, and there's even cases in the courts at the moment where Red Hat/IBM supposedly awarded bonuses based on hiring managers fulfilling diversity quotas.

No I don't owe any clarification to support what is obvious. At this point, the fact that Israel has almost complete control of US politics is the null hypothesis. It's those who deny it that need to provide very convincing, non-handwavy, alternative explanations of why the US is constantly doing Israel's bidding against international law, the international community and basic human rights, damaging its own standing and authority and going against its own geopolitical interest. And why the representatives of US people fly the Israeli flag outside and inside their offices, and why AIPAC boasts to manage to get elected 95% of those it supports, and why such a foreign interference is even allowed in the country, etc. etc.
