Are there any resources that speak about Apple's supply chain? I'd love to learn more.

Do you use a web app or a native app for YouTube?

/r/worldnews is a news subreddit

That's not cheaper. Jio can give that at half the price for thrice the duration

Yes, he should be more polite like Guido Van Rossum to ensure longevity.

This static website seems to be down.

I'd recommend Matthew Butterick's "Practical Typography" to anyone looking to learn about type.

https://practicaltypography.com/

I don't agree with everything on this website, however it has helped me tremendously in developing an eye for type.

My favorite links:

https://practicaltypography.com/typography-in-ten-minutes.ht...

After applying the advice on this page on dozens of site and experimenting and tweaking for hours, I understood the thought process behind these deceptively simple rules.

https://practicaltypography.com/color.html

This drives home the concept of "less is more" and leads by example.

I just love the layout of this page. The design of the table, the elegant asides and a hundred smaller details.

There are areas I don't agree with the author, especially when it comes to the engineering side of web design.

And yes, there are some controversial choices in the design of the website, notably how links are displayed.

However the pros far outweigh the cons.

Is AV1 smaller?

I've basically learned web design and development through HN.

The only links I click on are related to making static websites without any frameworks. Otherwise, if the websites domain is a new one, I'll click on it to see if the website has an interesting font or layout.

I never check the comments on HN for many things non-STEM, more specifically economics, philosophy, psychology, education, academic research, political science, fashion, and more. Those comments are generally filled with people trying to use first principles poorly to speak on subjects they don't have industrial experience in.

The best resources I've gained via HN

1. practicaltypography.com - Basically my foundation when it comes to designing any text in personal documents, websites, video games and more.

2. worrydream.com - The best HCI resource freely available on the internet. It opened my eyes to the sorry state of software with respect to usability.

3. Data Oriented Design - Research into this field gave me a definitive answer on the merits of continuing to struggle with learning functional programming versus going all in on traditional C style development.

I'm trying to make a static website myself. Can you tell me if it's possible to optimize the network side of things?

You got banned. Please stop. We both were rude and it's good it ended.

Europeans got the lucky bounce of Genghiz Khan. It's very probable that the Islam golden age would have beaten Europeans to the punch if not for him.

And what do you mean by "superiors group of people"?

I agree. If I was a native American a few centuries ago I would also think something similar. What do Europeans contribute to us other than killing of our loved ones and almost extinguishing our race. A ballooning European population is not good.

links is the best text based browser because it has mouse support.

Ah my bad. Sorry.

Oh my god. Are you serious? This entire debate and your source has been the Oxford dictionary? The Oxford dictionary?

Empiricism is a view of epistemology, that cannot be reduced to a definition in the Oxford dictionary.

If you look at the link below, you'll see just how murky the field of empiricism is.

https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/logical-empiricism/#EmpVe...

I'm sorry for assuming you were speaking with any depth when talking about empiricism. If your base entire arguments on dictionary definitions then it's no surprise this conversation is going in circles.

The mere existence of data is not the same as empiricism.

I guess since you've seen 3 star reviews my argument collapses on itself. If only you hadn't seen those pesky 3 star reviews. What a compelling argument.

"I've seen 3 star reviews so it must be true, because I've seen 3 star reviews, personally"

Positively reviewed is someone who likes the app. I was very careful with my language to avoid this confusion. I said people who are fine with their app.

I'll use the previous statements one at a time to build a case. I'll use only the statements that you have said or accepted. Everything I'm typing, has been said before.

People who are fine with their apps don't write reviews.

Ten percent of the user base (at most) write reviews.

This includes the people who want to complain more than the people who don't.

In this ten percent a fraction of reviews are negative.

A fraction of ten percent of the total users feel negatively about the app.

This is a rare occurrence.

If you feel I've misquoted any part then I apologize.

Half a decade ago, The Onion reached the pinnacle of satire with their Onion News Network. What made it different was the presence of a really solid fourth wall. Not once is there a wink at the camera or any indication that the actors are "in on it".

All the satire I've seen in more recent years has had people talking in an exaggerated manner about absurd events. They don't talk like real people.

People who are fine with their apps don't write reviews. That's why the sample is polluted.

I understand ten percent is a huge sample. But it's a polluted one. That's all I'm saying.

I'm using your evidence to prove my point as that is a source you seem to believe.

What do you get from laughing at other people?

EDIT: Your reply has been flagged which is not something I wanted. I do have evidence, yours.

It's a biased sample because people who are fine with their app don't write reviews. The sample is polluted.

My evidence can drawn from the fact that ten percent of people write reviews. A fraction of that are negative. If an occurrence happens say five out of a hundred times,that's a rare occurrence.

How can app reviews be used to draw conclusions of how users feel about the app if less than ten percent of the users write app reviews?

It's like surveying a small percentage of an electorate by asking them who they'll vote for for and deciding the result based on the survey.

Take any App on the store. Count the number of reviews. Then count the total number of installs.

The total reviews will be less than ten percent of the installs. The negative reviews are a fraction of that percentage.

As such you cannot observe via reviews what the majority of the users think of the app.

Then, by the definition you have just given, app reviews aren't empirical.

App reviews aren't really empirical. People write reviews for things they don't like much much more than for things which they're fine with.

If I really really hate an update, I don't spend more than a minute transitioning. I just look at the "Apps like this tab". Another feature that is not there natively in Windows/Linux and requires third parties to make subpar lists.

If new software was really so terrible, people would be abandoning apps, not complaining about them which is what happened with Linux and to a lesser extent, Windows.

Please stop thinking like a developer. Firstly that very rarely happens in the apps that I use from the Play/App Store. Secondly, if an app has a dealbreaker, I'll just use another one.

Most people don't think "Oh man I love Instagram v50.1.2",they just use Instagram.
