I have the nano textured XDR Pro and chose to order the Studio Display without it. I’m a data point of 1 obviously, but it diffuses the image quite a bit in my opinion.

I think they likely meant Southeast. I’m not aware of a large population of rural, black people in the Southwest.

Heart rate absolutely — I think temp is a lot more reliable. The only problem is if the thing is in sunlight.

As a father of two, this article is so damn horrible I don't have words for how it makes me feel. I don't know why it's on HN's top page again, but I remember the last time it was, and it was the same thing. I work in th

Saying garbage collection never works as intended somehow elides all the very large scale systems built on garbage collected languages including Java. GC is like most things, it has trade offs and you have to understand them to get the best

I'd be surprised if their CA employment agreements even have the non-compete in them, and any halfway-competent lawyer will be able to redline that portion as un-enforceable. This is a bedrock rule in CA employment. If it had any enfor

I think it's based on where you are when you sign the agreement, not where you are when you leave. When you say the law applies to where you are, this is all in the action you're taking. The promise not to compete is the action in

Sure, he was semi-fired that time (he kept his seat on the board). But this is not the proximate departure.

Does your schema for data models (inception!) have a revision associated with it? If not, deployments are going to be spicy. If so, you end up having to deal with version-rot. Part of why putting this in the repo with your source code is a

One very counterintuitive truth of large scale software development is that as you scale to multiple services, you are gravitationally pulled into a monorepo. There are different forces at work but the strongest at this scale are your data

Facebook uses Mercurial for its big monorepo. Google’s big monorepo was once P4 but isn’t anymore.

I’m happy to read a study that has real data, but any conclusions we draw from things like this has to also explain the fact that in a vast array of areas where we have access to objective metrics like strength, speed, and general athletici

I was prepared to be super skeptical here, but this actually looks like it could be really good, without all the gotchas I was expecting. I think the only potential hole I see is if you do a lot of db-side code as stored procedures and what

Python 2.7 being removed has probably made corporate upgrades very slow.

This is probably off by a factor of 2 at least. Is if you told me that Monterrey has 5x as many users, I’d agree. Not 10X. That said, there are likely a sizable group (5%?) of customers that cannot upgrade to Monterey. Apple should be wor

Not to take anything away from the other things you’re saying, but there’s a large difference between a company’s valuation and how much cash plus equivalents they have. Apple has roughly $20B, most of their valuation is from other things.

When I started at Twitter, a guy was proposing building a staging environment. At that point it would have cost about $2M, so it was within the realm of conceivable. I was a pretty immediate “no”, for all sorts of reasons. Keeping the data

I agree with the premise, although I disagree that only Google could do this. Honestly there are a low number, but greater than one, entities that could do this. Microsoft is an obvious one, for instance. That said, to your bigger point --

Garmin couldn't directly disable this, once Strava has your data they can do with it whatever they want, licensing permitting. Which is a segue into - while I have no specific knowledge of this case, I do think it's somewhat trick

In an acquisition of this size, it’s not typical to interview. HTC engineers did not have to interview AFAIK and having been at Fitbit I can say for sure that no engineers had to interview. Interviewing happens with startups. When there are

Class specifically can be changed, whereas caste cannot. You can dress better, pronounce words in an upper class style, and live in a better neighborhood but still be treated like you need to use the back door to enter your own office becau

They probably are not doing that. As others have pointed out, there are major hurdles to doing that.

Nah, F keys would be a 6th row. It shows up most acutely on the right hand, where in keyboards in this dimension you would expect to see keys underneath the series "nm,./" which might (in my configuration) look like arrow up,

As compared to the Moonlander, which is what I use as my daily driver this is an improvement in some ways: wireless connectivity, possibly tenting (assuming the base plate is rigid enough), but not as good in others: the thumb cluster seems

Sorry to hear that. We had an office in Belarus. When everything went down there in ‘20 we did everything we could to help them relocate and now they are mostly in Warsaw. This is obviously different in terms of the right thing to do, but y

It sounds awful to me, too, but in casual conversations with medical professionals who have been through it (and in some cases while they were going through it) they very frequently defend the process. It doesn’t sound like Stockholm Syndro
