I'm happy that one can, at least, change the default centered bar to left-aligned. There was an early beta where this was not the case. I can imagine, if I was using a tablet, I'd probably prefer it centered, and I guess its &quot

The only point I take slight issue with is Avoiding Namespaces. I can't speak for frontend code, but on the backend: It feels at least somewhat obviously true that unique names are good. Even if you aren't operating in a language

Everyone here is talking about how this is great for gaming, or bad, or how they're becoming a monopoly... The only emotion I can feel is disgust. Disgust that Microsoft would tacitly approve of Kotick's decades of harboring, enco

One of the more wild things I learned in the past year came from a reasonable explanation for something I have observed for years: why is Venmo vs Cash App so radically split among racial lines? Because, to some order of approximation, they

This is mostly just arguing accounting, which is something Tim Cook admitted under oath that Apple doesn't do [1]. The benefit of such a simple fee structure is that it becomes insidiously difficult to ask questions and receive legitim

This is such a bullshit argument nowadays. There are an estimated 113 million iPhone users in the United States [1]. That's ~half of the smartphone market, and ~half of the number of adults in the US. Apple sells brand new iPhones star

Counter-point: All of that changes if their economy weakens or becomes toxic. This could, and probably will, happen in a number of ways. They are blatantly expansionist; asserting control over HK was a mildly toxic event, but a move into Ta

Its reasonable to assert that they wrote the error, and they phrased the error message intentionally, in a way which clearly says that they expected carriers to block the service. The settings app is owned by Apple; not T-Mobile; T-Mobile w

Right, but I think there's some incorrect conclusions being drawn. The article asserts that an error in the settings menu appears: "Your cellular plan doesn’t support iCloud Private Relay. With Private Relay turned off, this netwo

I've always found the idea "ip laws encourage innovation" to be tenuous; if only because we have very few case studies of societies where ip laws aren't as strong as they are today (so, in scientific method terms, there

Its certainly a reasonable comparison. But the important thing to remember is: There are plenty of highly marketable, valuable assets that have disproportionately little productive or utilitarian use-case. Fine metals, gems, art, high fashi

I don't love the characterization of it being a "ponzi scheme"; trying to be catchy is no excuse for being disingenuous and inaccurate. At their core, Ponzi Schemes are investment funds which pay existing investors with funds

This makes sense, in a "theory" sort of way. The reality I've far too often ran into is: something is logged as debug, production is set to info+, something rare happens, and we don't have the logging to diagnose it beca

by 015a 5y ago
I agree; but I think it'll take years, if ever, to change this culture. Logging is a byproduct of a past time; everything is a file, stdout is a file, lets persist that file, now we have multiple replicas, lets collect the file into a

Yeah; with all these comparisons, many people in the HN bubble forget how much work (and play) still happens on desktops (not to mention in servers). Power efficiency matters, but raw power still matters too. The 12900k (desktop) pushes an

The leading indicator I'd use to analyze how strong these companies will be in a decade is: how much of their bull market zeitgeist is based around nebulous technology ideas that don't exist, and that investors really don't u

It depends on "where", in any city. You could certainly find a 2BR in somewhere like MSP or Chicago, but it won't be near the downtown core, and you'll have some interesting neighbors. A couple years ago, myself and two

Everyone who chooses to live in a location on the west coast made the right decision regarding "the big earthquake"... until it happens. Its a bad argument against moving there. But it is a good argument for moving somewhere e

The $1300/mo apartment I have in the midwest would easily cost $3000+ in SF/LA/NYC. Three bedrooms, 2000 sq ft, two stories. I live alone. I can afford it easily. Median home values. My state: $152k. CA: $551k. WA: $393k. NY:

I'm pretty strongly of the position that high levels of self-driving are impossible for artificial intelligences to attain, because they're built by corporations. Driving is VERY risky, and involves an irreducible assumption of bo
