I'd love for this to trickle into macOS. Not being able to delete Apple Music or News is crazy. I will never use these, and them auto-launching all the time is very shitty.

Carry a computer around then. Most people want the assurance of knowing their phone works like a phone in an emergency.

I assume the implication is that the author was allowed to ship the document or finalise it quickly i.e. move fast, but this is feedback for the next version or next document. In contrast to creating a draft and waiting 2 weeks for it to be

I don't know what everyone else does but I have to write everything down, similar to this article, and the free-flow way of doing things seems to mirror what works for me.

One of the better write-ups on what tech debt is I've read. The article goes into current AI techniques to reduce tech debt, and their (in)effectiveness. I wonder if another approach might be more successful. If AI could instead be use

How do competing browsers make money? Chrome can do the same. It may mean users start paying for it, or ad supported in some way, which will be annoying, but even out the playing field. The fact that Chrome is free is the problem. The fact

Generally I agree, but this is one single paragraph of colour followed by the rest being straight reporting below, and adds important context.

I'm sorry but "we should be more adaptable" is clearly just misdirection from the actual thing at stake: the need to stop this insane rate of change caused by humans. The fact that there were or will be future rapid changes i

To tack on to the other responses, this is just good programming. The testability/maintainability/extendability tenets push you to write small pieces of functionality before wiring it all together.

99% of the carbon produced by F1 is from shipping everything and everyone around the planet. Shifting the focus to that 1% which doesn't matter at all is greenwashing. Big oil sponsors don't want the real solution, carbon taxes, s

Does anyone else get the feeling that how we deal with technical debt in software is fundamentally and critically misguided? How a pot hole gets filled in isn't a technical challenge, its a political challenge. Developers can talk abou

Each cut isn't much, and there's no point stressing about it, but accumulate enough of them and it's a problem. Doesn't the fact that everything is increasing in price also affect these labourers? Who see the prices in t

Tim Cook in response to a shareholder proposing scrapping accessibility to improve ROI: “When we work on making our devices accessible by the blind, I don’t consider the bloody ROI”.

We are coming to an inflection point where people will realise tech is not serving them and there will be a large pull back. There is already something in the water with the realisation of what social media does to people, how unhealthy onl

That is one of the most interesting and frightening graphs I've ever seen. Way more impactful than the hockeystick graph, all of our efforts over dozens if not hundreds of civilisations leading to this, quick end.

The argument is a phone is a critical tool, an issue affecting your phone is much more dangerous because you may need to use your phone in an emergency. That is Apple's argument for why ios and macos are different.

If your need to document the world accurately is important to you, you should be using a dedicated device for that purpose.

People who fall from standing by their own volition usually have a sense something is wrong and can fall relatively gracefully. People who are tripped from standing collapse like a sack of bricks. Same thing, you don't see falls coming

Elon has said he will open source the algorithm since even before the purchase. He said it is for transparency. Social media algorithms have done a lot of harm, covered and discussed endlessly on HN, and transparency would be a first step t

Would it be by far the most successful VCS ever imagined if it didn't have good taste?

When Apple argues why a phone is not a general purpose computer (and therefore should not allow sideloading), this is an example of why. A phone is a general purpose computer until you need it in an emergency, in which case it _must not be_

Mark Cohen is 78 years old. He is not remotely relevant to the scene today. Photogs celebrate the people who came before them like Cohen or Gilden but you just don't see that type of behaviour in the current generation. Same with anyth

Yeah that's the thing, I don't find that. There are plenty of locals who shoot all over Asia for example and do just fine. I think maybe you're projecting.

Taking photos of homeless people is generally seen an unacceptable amongst street photographers. I think maybe you're focusing on a couple specific people?

One thing I've found is that photographing strangers is a lot more widely accepted in places around the world with more community oriented culture, and less accepted in very individualistic cultures like in the West. I think this indiv
