I think the enjoying the experience is the road less traveled. Most people I know live the 9-5 grind.
I think this is where companies like Xamarin and JetBrains can pick up the slack as they have with the Microsoft stack. As long as it's (legitimately) opened-sourced, of course.
Many VoIP numbers can be either forwarded to any otehr number for a small fee, or routed to any SIP endpoint, or Voicemail. Cheaper and more flexible than paying for PSTN infrastructure too.
They also don't like putting resources towards a feature unless they feel they're able to implement it in the best way possible. They're not interested in throwing features in just to say they have them.
In this case at least, I can empathize.
But I have no sympathy for this and it certainly isn't one of the more constructive ways the matter might be handled.
Apple isn't forcing you to pay if you want to run your apps, they're warning users and forcing them to take an extra step to run unsigned code. That doesn't completely prevent malicious code execution but it definitely helps which is a net win for users.

Complaining that they ask for $100/year to use their official distribution channel (which incurs ongoing costs for them) seems unreasonable considering the quality and quantity of tools they provide for free. Xcode is a pretty awesome IDE considering it's free to use.

If they're following the developer's instructions, then presumably they wouldn't even see that screen. Remember, we're talking about the steps needed to open the app, not what would happen if they tried to open the app normally.

I mean, that said, most instincts would be to double click the app right away, ignoring any instructions, but that's a separate matter of how to best present those instructions for your users.

Quick example: His bullet points for "What's Wrong" read like a draft outline. For example, bullet #6 says, "[The interview process is] a very uncomfortable process for the applicants" -- then he rambles giving reasons that don't really point to why there's a problem: a) he lists issues that every applicant will likely face (even in "great" interview processes b) good processes intentionally make applicants uncomfortable at times and c) lists quirks that are just part of the negotiating process and relatively unavoidable.

These rough edges aside, the structure seemed incomplete. After his unfiltered stream of problems and process, he then says ~"throw away everything and start from scratch" and throws in a quote from a self-improvement, business book, as if he just did everyone a favor.
Hi Dennis. Yes, and hooray for Hacker's Delight!

I recently had occasion to reread one of Kernighan's older books and you remind me that I'll probably enjoy the Go book too.
There are, however, degrees of pressure resistance. Given AWS dropped WikiLeaks the moment a few politicians started getting upset, they seem unlikely to be very concerned with customer protection.
The funniest part about this is that you quote "If allowing the old cities of North America to be overrun and rendered largely uninhabitable by murderous racist gangs isn't bad government, really, I'm not sure what is." as prima facie evidence that Yarvin is unfit for polite society, while apparently living in a city where 38 people were shot last weekend (and over 1000 so far this year) by the same racist gangs he speaks of.
VOA is under the BBG. :)
http://youtu.be/Pm8P4oCIY3g this is a talk by Joyant's Bryan Cantrill where he make the case that announcing something is going to be open sourced in the future is bad and is an anti pattern.
Its not periods. It is always like that. I almost never reach out to anybody. I just work on my projects. Its common for me to not speak to anybody for one or several weeks.
> But that "in all likelihood" is just you making things up and is not, of course, actual evidence. Everything else you've provided in this thread is handwaving.

Not in the least. Is there anything you'd like corroborated?
The fact that I don't use OSX has been a barrier to getting better at iOS development. Hackintoshing has proven to be quite elusive and the vmware and vbox USB layers in Linux don't convince virtualized OSX enough to transfer over apps to my iDevices. I'm not convinced you can get to high quality by testing strictly on emulators.

If anyone has an old mac that can run modern xCode (you probably know what this constitutes more than me) and wants to donate it to a dedicated open-source developer for completely unspecified future projects, feel free to email me at (my handle on hn)@(googles email service). thanks
Shut Up and Take My Money for Moms – Kinderboo.com
which device you have used to track this ?
TouchID is reliable in a way that previous fingerprint readers were not. I use it to unlock my phone and it just works. Every. Single. Time. Well, more like 95% of the time, but it is good enough. I used to not lock my phone because it was too annoying to unlock, so for me this relatively small improvement means that an important feature that wasn't available to me before suddenly is.
I have to admit - HolyC is a clever name http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holy_See.
Well, the Lottery profited from the game - they lost money on the tickets purchased by the MIT group.
It also suggests that swift version 2.0 isn't out yet and they don't want to deal with open sourcing it until then or have to go through lawyers regardless.

If you followed Chris Lattner on the dev forums he always gave the impression that they wanted it open source from the start but had bigger fish to fry. They reimplemented a ton of the compiler multiple times after finding bugs in the existing language specs. Don't read too far into this that microsoft forced anything. For one, we'll never know and this is at best conjecture.

As for supporting diverse execution environments, I'd argue llvm/clang/webkit proves otherwise. Granted they're not "supporting" it in the sense that they're selling support for it but I'm not sure exactly who would meet your criteria right now.
In case of Apple's iOS - only browser which uses their engine. Another sick lock-in example.
> No, it isn't. It wasn't even this way just five years ago. I was one of the early adopters of OS X, and one of the things I loved about it was how open it was, so even some 17-year-old kid like me could easily make software. Apple has gotten worse and worse about this over the past decade.

I never said that was the way it's always been. I said that "playing by their rules or not at all" was the way it's always been. Which is true, Apple is very big on controlling every aspect of the user experience. It was a matter of time before their massive obsessiveness leaked from iOS to OSX, but it's always been Apple's rules or nothing. Their rules for OSX have historically been very lax, but that wasn't my point at all.

> Yes, because Apple demands rent. They create a problem and then charge you to fix it. This is called rent-seeking. I think that is a bad behavior.

Well, they're providing a service for $99 that extends beyond the signing to be able to run in OSX. They include the ability to list in the various app stores, to have beta programs, access to early APIs, access to developer forums, and more. All that costs them money. They have to get that from somewhere.

> I have to wonder if you have had to do a lot of support work, because I think you're trusting users way too much.

I trust my users just fine. Just because there's one or two crazy stories (I mean, everyone has a few stories of horribly stupid users) does not mean the majority of users are that bad. If you're targeting all 100% of possible users, then sure, those instructions would be useless. However, I'd be confident enough to say that 90-95% (honestly probably leaning towards 95, but still) of users will be able to follow those incredibly simple instructions. So at that point, you have to ask yourself if the $99 (plus all the other perks like early access to APIs) is worth having those 5-10% of users who can't follow them. Because that's what it really comes down to.
Sorry. Would correct, but outside the edit window. Thanks!

Xamarin and Jetbrains live in the enterprise market. It's hard to see Swift quickly gaining traction in that space.

To be honest, the most annoying thing isn't that it goes fullscreen, it's the mind-bendingly slow animation that accompanies it. Just make the damn thing fullscreen instantly so that I can reverse it instantly, rather than waiting on a cutesy shrinking animation too.
Indeed. It's so annoying seeing how common it is for writers (whether in literature or film/television) spoon feed every little detail to the reader. That blunts the impact of the narrative the same way as explaining a joke ruins it.
Ask HN: Recommend us a sales tool
Hello,

Our sales team wants to use a better sales tool.

Here are our requirements:

1. Automatically log all our phone calls to the client into the system. We all use iPhones.

2. Automatically log all our outbound and inbound email client communications into the system.

3. Allow us to comment privately among each other. Maybe these comments automatically get sent as notifications. And, support file attachments.

Thank you! If this does not exist maybe someone here will build it for us.
That would be pretty easy to figure out. You can't really keep that one a secret because you have to tell your users to switch it in their accounts. A simple dns lookup will tell you if it's pointing to zenefits.com. And if ADP already knows the accounts that use zenefits, I'm sure they're just going to watch them to find patterns. Even if you bought 10 domains, your customers still have to share them, and ADP still knows who they are. You could probably do that for brand new customers, if you keep the number of people on the same domain to a minimum. Seems like a lot of work to me.
The Coolest Stuff You Didn’t Know Google Photos Could Do
You call it beautiful, but that's a fair stretch. It's more compact than JavaScript but to non-Ruby eyes, there's no real beauty to be found. It's just simple substitutions that otherwise look the same.
This is "a little" off topic but I wanted to share experience. I have been lucky to have been seen Simon McBurney's interpretation of The Master and Margarita in the theatre. The tram scene with Pontius Pilate just blew me away.
Wait, you can't auto-rename stuff? I noticed in an older version of XCode (when I still bothered), that there were really basic refactoring tools missing for C++, but I assumed that was just because Apple hates C++. Apple obviously doesn't hate Swift.

I guess Apple just hates refactoring. Why though?

Senior Engineer usually means someone with a number of years experience. An easy number is 10 however this isn't the only thing. Generally you have worked on enough coding projects that you are wise in how you put forward your effort. Also I would assume a SR Engineer has a good understanding of software design patterns. When I started out I thought that OO concepts were enough to master C# but everything changed once I started to grasp design patterns. I think SR generally means you have a certain amount of experience paired with a strong ability to code.
You're giving up a lot of performance for that battery life, however, and I think it's probably premature to even think about ARM Macintosh for three years at the least, if ever.
Nobody has really implemented landscape mode in their apps on iPhone 6 plus. I expect the same will be true for this feature.
I wouldn't disregard it so quick. A good radio host can garner attention and if Apple finds themselves with something like a captivating morning show or lively interview program, they can build an audience. Radio is good at spreading by word of mouth because it can capture a person during their drive and gives them something to talk to coworkers about. If Apple makes it prominent on people's phones, it would be easy to spread.

It would make no sense for people to be excited about a radio station before it launches outside of the DJ's previous audience. There is nothing to hook people in yet. I personally listen to the CBC news on the radio everyday and if Apple launched a news station... who knows. It's not really an area that any other big tech companies are competing in. Sports radio is great if you are a sports fan, maybe they'll expand to that. Other talk radio as well, people love it and live call in shows with a "community" of listeners is still a concept best served in radio.

Commercial radio is terrible because it doesn't make a revenue like it used to. I think people dismiss it more so due to it's low quality than the fact that they can curate their own music now. Playing your own music in your car isn't a new concept.

Wild guess, but maybe radio is part of a long term vehicle plan. Broadcast radio is a significant part of the vehicle user experience. Highest radio ratings during a weekday are 7:45AM.

Also, it's not like running an internet radio station is very expensive anyways. Apple can afford it.

Anyways... No wireless. Less space than a Nomad. Lame.
In what way? What functionality do you think that Amethyst is missing?

As for "Split View", it looks more like a simple two-window extension of the existing full screen functionality to me.
Most likely it will - some talking about that was already happening on IRC ;) However, its a bit shame, that company that gets so much from BSD's (OSX userland is FreeBSD derived) have not decided to give such a thing back.

"Strategy: The Logic of War and Peace" by Edward N. Luttwak
These kinds of op ed pieces are always shocking in the way they drip with entitlement. He quit his job as a shoe salesman, where he would be a district manager if he stayed he'll have you know, because he was just too good for that kind of job.

Why does he think that? Why does he think himself somehow above the other people selling shoes, and indeed the district managers of shoe-selling operations? Does he really think other people selling shoes couldn't have gotten a liberal arts degree from Columbia if they were willing to take on foolish amounts of debt?
The overwhelming majority of violence in Chicago is gang violence between predominantly African American gangs, confined to poor neighborhoods that are the direct product of segregation, redlining, and "white flight". That's not a reaching analysis and it isn't "SJW"-speak; it is the clear, documented history of the city of Chicago.

So, two responses to your weird comment.

First: it's false that Chicago gangs are "racist". They aren't hunting down white people. They're hunting down rival gangs. They do that because they are, for the most part, teenagers locked in a vicious cycle of poverty and a total lack of opportunity.

Second: it's extremely sad if from these circumstances you've managed, like Yarvin seems to have, to draw a conclusion about the inferiority of African Americans.

I don't know you, but I feel like I've seen your name around HN for awhile now, and I hadn't had any reason to attach "racially prejudiced" to what little metadata I store about you. I'm hoping instead that I've just misread you. But "racist gangs" is a term you chose to use, which is disquieting.
It is very interesting to see some comparisons you did. You mentioned Oberon[1], which has an explicit reference to Doug Engelbart. Seeing some TempleOS highlights reminds me a lot of those ideas, including LightTable[2].

Making the Case for Using F# with Tomas Petricek

I took a surfing lesson in Hawaii last week from a guy who has a degree from Florida State (business, if I'm not mistaken, but I'm also not positive).

After graduating, he realized that he'd rather live in Hawaii and spend his days in the ocean than sitting at a desk. Yes, he could earn more money...but he's very happy doing what he does. He keeps in touch with friends that he graduated with, and while many of them would like to switch places with him, he says he wouldn't switch places with any.

Of course, they may be setting themselves up for a better retirement, etc. But he has realized that a simple life that makes him happy is what he wants. Good on him.
Book Review: Average Is Over – Tyler Cowen
Almost surely it did, since software is eating the world.

However, the question I care about is "does the original manufacturer have more power over the physical device I paid for than I do". If my Ivy Bridge GPU has on-board firmware, that I can't change, well, Intel probably can't change it either. Or if they can, they haven't documented it and so the kernel driver doesn't provide the facility and so effectively they can't, short of NSA-type hackery, an answer I am happy enough to truncate to "no".

However, for Skylake the answer to "Does the original developer have more power over the device I paid for than I do" is "very obviously yes" and no amount of handwaving or approximation will suffice.
It's quicker to write a stupid enhancement request than it is to write a response declaring why that idea is bad. Project outsiders are not entitled to a well-argued response on why something is going to stay the way it is. They are entitled to nothing unless they are paying for support.

That said, these rants themselves take much more time to prepare than a simple "we're not going to do that, sorry". Theo strikes me as someone who takes joy from hurling insults, rather than simply being busy and therefore curt.
Empty github profiles don't say anything good or bad because of private repositories not showing up on the commit graph. I put my own junk on bitbucket anyway because there's no reason for the world to need to see it in 99.99999% of cases.

That's not so much of a bitcode problem as a vendor problem. You'd have the same issue when 64bit builds became mandatory, or when uidevice.uniqueIdentifier was banned.
This is awesome. I might get back into iOS app development. I didn't feel like paying money for prototyping just so I could run it on my own device. Emulator wasn't doing it for me. Time to pickup Swift.
I think the problem is that, even for those who have the right intentions and rigor in mind, there may be decisions that seem clearly handle-able by rules that don't seem overly simplified. There's always the possibility (inevitability?) that even the most careful and conscious of designers will overlook an unintended consequence. This is hardly a revolutionary idea: it essentially boils down to "code has bugs".

That's what this kind of research is designed to do: come up with a framework for understanding when "locally-controlled decisions" are required as opposed to codified rules.
Thanks.

That's awesome! I've been playing with D3 lately. Want to post some about visualizations soon.

To write an OS you simply need to be able to compile code that can be launched by a bootloader. That's it. You don't need explicit control over the layout of your data structures in memory.

I'd hazard that the engineers at Apple are perfectly qualified to identify what is and isn't a "systems language" working for one of the few companies that has actually developed several from scratch (I am referring to A/UX, Mac OS Classic, Newton OS, and NeXTStep / OpenStep / OSX / iOS in case you're wondering).

Intel has licensed GPU designs from third-parties before, but typically only for their low-power (Atom) chips where they just didn't have the technology in-house.

Here, we're talking about a new micro-architecture for Intel's premium product line; I would be very surprised to hear Intel licensed anything in the design from third-parties. If Intel wanted their tool-chain to be available, they could make it so.
