> Apple shouldn't receive an unfair market advantage because they embody the values you hold dear.

Then buy Android if that's a tradeoff you're willing to make.

It blows my mind, and makes me nervous about my own future, that old people do this kind of thing.

Are they actually incapable of learning the right way to do things? Is neuroplasticity playing a role here? Do they not care that their images look terrible when zoomed in on? I guess they grew up in an era when photos frequently had time and date stamps, and if their eyesight is going... I guess that explains both points.

I’m sorry, what? Strangers at coffee shops in your small town would read your private iMessages to which they somehow had access? That makes literally 0 sense.

- how did they know your name / for whom to look up these hacked messages? - how did they know where to find these hacked messages? - why would they reveal their ability to watch your every move by repeating your private messages? - even if they had all of these capabilities and no shame about letting you know, why on earth would they care enough to look at your messages?

The scenario you’re convinced happened sounds completely bizarre, and gives me some strong Terry Davis vibes (no disrespect to him - that’s the person he became due to his illness).

You’re always going to be targeting a framework that’s playing catch-up with the native APIs, so it’s not like app size is the only benefit.

Maybe they'll finally have the resources to make a proper app. For context, they went web view -> react native, and both iterations were among the worst apps I've used on an Apple device. It's a shame that companies don't take pride in the UX they create, but I guess they were probably eng resource constrained.

I feel like the React Native fad has come and gone. Even FB is using their own server-driven UI solution nowadays, which allows clients to be dumber while still rendering native components.

Whenever I get lunch with a group of coworkers, this is what everyone talks about and it’s absolutely exhausting. One issue is that I’m 24, craving new, novel social interaction, while most of them are in their late 20s or in their 30s, settled down, and fully in the Netflix trap.

The only benefit to seeing this is that it makes me want to never become like it.

The most genuine conversations I have are with actual friends: People I’d hit up on the weekend to walk in a park, drive somewhere for a hike, or grab dinner with. I also have a circle of friends that I go out with, which I understand not everyone is interested in.

Get out of the house as much as possible, and embrace the relationships that you genuinely enjoy. Small talk about Netflix will still be a thing with people you’re not close with, but you can help steer the conversation to be more interesting if you know the things that you do/don’t want to talk about.

I’m with you. See my edit, and sorry for the confusing wording. It’s late

Whoops, see my edit. We’re totally advocating for the same thing - my wording was just very very bad :(

It's unfortunate that this wasn't build with a cross-platform core, but native, first class UIs for each respective platform.

Edit: I realized this was worded very badly. I’m saying I wish this was written with a cross platform core, and native, platform specific UIs for each respective platform. For example, MS Office is written this way.

I disagree completely. By the time they shipped with incompatible cables / ports, wireless backup with iCloud, wireless sync with iTunes (who even "syncs" at all anymore...), and even wireless deployment and debugging had all been implemented.

Steve wouldn't have wanted you to connect your phone to your computer in the first place. That's why iTunes got wireless sync back before everything was in the cloud. The only really remaining piece was developers needing to plug in for deployment and debugging, but who cares - they're developers, they'll manage.

And now even that's solved!

Perhaps long periods of sitting on a flight?

If you suspect this is happening to you (all of the sudden you can't really breathe), is there anything you can even do? Or just hope it's not bad enough to be fatal?

After reading the very small amount of information provided about the reason for her passing, I can't help but be curious about the exact reason. Sometimes it's comforting to know that something was a freak accident, versus something preventable. Does anyone know what might have happened in this case?

I certainly hope this isn't perceived as being insensitive. I can't imagine the pain he's going through, and I truly do hope he finds some amount of comfort or normalcy in this unimaginably painful time.

More anecdata - late 2013 15” Haswell + GeForce 750m rMBP, have literally (and I really truly mean this) had 0 issues. Not a single kernel panic or notable userland software glitch. The only thing that glitches occasionally is plugging into an external monitor, but this has happened on every release since Mavericks (what this laptop shipped with IIRC)

AirDrop works pretty flawlessly if you're using an iPhone and Mac, which is fortunately + by choice my only setup / workflow.

I have this exact same problem. Please Spotify, fix this.

At Airbnb, most core flows (search, home booking, map, trips/itinerary, inbox / messaging, the signup/login screen, profile, settings, and the hosting flow for listing your place) are all native. Most screens are built using a declarative abstraction on top of UICollectionView and UITableView.

The Trips tab in the app (itinerary) was actually rewritten in native after originally being implemented using RN.

It’s really too bad that people have this perception of RN’s use at Airbnb. I feel like people assume the whole thing is RN, which couldn’t be more wrong.

I'll second that report for that model - no issues.

"an physical debit card" ? I swear I see this mistake so often it makes me question whether I actually understand when to use "an"...

Yep, it did for me on mobile safari. How are the same garbage mistakes still happening.

You should give it a shot beyond the first couple bosses (first hour of play?). They kind of make you fight the same boss 3 times back to back, which is kind of a big barrier to entry if you're not into that mechanic. There's a lot more exploration and barely any stand and spray besides much more spread out boss fights after that.

There should be a space between an argument label and the parameters being passed. UIColor(red: 0.5 ... For example.

I'm a native iOS engineer who's cringed every time someone has said "the web is the future." Today's web technologies (everything from React Native, to service workers, to Babble / transpiling, to Javascript itself) all have huge flaws, most of which stem from the fact that they're built for a platform never meant to handle today's use cases. And don't get me started on how disgusting Javascript is as a language... It's for these reasons that I've rejected web technologies for so long.

I've always said to my web developer friends, who I often debate this with, that "I'm all for the web being the future - if that future is nothing at all like the web today." WebAssembly is a huge step in that direction.

- I can write code in sane languages

- Code can be as cross platform or platform specific as I want (I imagine a future where UIKit is available on iOS through WebAssembly)

- The interface for accessing apps won't need to be through URLs. There can still be app-store-like search, but instead of needing to download and install an app, it can be streamed like a website (and stored on permanent storage if appropriate of course).

I imagine there will still be Javascript only sites for mostly static pages with little complex interaction, and there will still be native apps for super complex applications (AAA games, resource intensive software that can't be run in a VM), but WebAssembly will cover everything else in between.

I really do think this is how 2 very different worlds will converge. The quality of native paired with the ease of delivery and ubiquity of the web, will be a huge win for consumers and developers.

Hopefully they rushed and used an outdated version of Webkit ;)

As a non smoker, reading this just makes me feel depressed.

So you use smoking cigarettes as a crutch when making real conversations with the non-smokers inside gets hard? Then you fill in gaps in conversation with more smoking? Most people cope with those naturally occurring conversation gaps without breathing in smoke.

Serious question - Are you, as you stand out there with the party going on behind you, slightly repulsed by the fact that you connected with someone because you're both doing the same disgusting habit?

The whole scenario seems so absurdly sad, and certainly not something I'd "highly recommend" to anyone.

This is talking about a show on History Channel called "World War II"

Of course, you got me (and probably a lot of other people) to click it because it sounds like an argument for the historical event not being believable.

A small sampling, but their reasons for supporting Trump just show how little they know about why they're in their current situation / what electing Trump could possibly change for them. It's simultaneously sad and infuriating.

This just goes to show that education is key. Education is about so much more than the classes you take. It teaches critical thinking, which can help improve emotional intelligence. Emotional intelligence is a powerful skill to have. It allows one to look inward, reflect on their own circumstance, and reason about how the society they live in actually affects them.

> New MacBook Pros so popular orders are backed up for weeks

I really, really hope this "Apple is the devil" theme ends in the next few weeks. It's nauseating to see the same headlines multiple times a day on HN, all making the same ridiculous arguments.

The reality is, this time next year, people (pros and causal users) are going to love the Touch Bar, and nobody is going to care about the Surface Dial. I just hope it happens sooner rather than later.

This should never happen until the web radically changes. I'm fine with the "web" being the future if it can provide truly native experiences. It simply can't do that now.

1. People aren't downloading apps because they have most of the core apps they want/need currently, not because they're browsing the web instead. Look around on any college or high school campus. Barely anyone has mobile safari open. They have instagram, snapchat, a messaging app, and maybe Facebook open.

2. Bots are the future? We'll see. Nobody besides tech people seem to care about bots. I'm in tech and I don't even care about bots - yet. And again, look at today's high schoolers and college students - they don't care about bots.
