Being pedantic, based on your example, I think the Reminders app does a good job at reminding, but a bad job at alerting. But that’s because a reminder to me is a gentle concept.

That’s a form of (investigative) journalism that the world could use more of.

> It’s very weird seeing the coping / seething about a useful tool like this even in HN comments. People have really drunk the proverbial kool-aid / joined the dark side. It’s uncl…

Hard disagree. Developers are often forced to integrate with both IAP and backend workarounds, which creates more effort and edge cases. Maybe you meant to specify a specific subse…

Do browsers not make money though? Through leveraging their market share they generate revenue. This is just a different approach. Provide a product (a browser), charge people that…

I think if individual Canadians were asked what the specific benefits and responsibilities of joining the EU would be, they[1] wouldn’t have an answer. A poll like this shows ideol…

Is that in any way related to the Covid framework/protocol that Apple provides?

The M1 chip macbook pro I bought recently is only able to support a single external monitor natively, whereas non-M1 macbooks can support more. That's a massive compromise, and I'l…

Although I see both sides, I personally lean towards finding that type hints improve readability. And since I tend towards consistency, that ends with most/all functions being type…

For a couple projects and apps I worked on, exposure in one of these stores would be worth a decent amount of engineering effort. You can convert that exposure into users, marketin…

With a severance package that good, I could be tempted to take this as an opportunity to switch jobs. I suspect that many of these employees aren't motivated by politics, but inste…

It seems to be a for-profit commercial company that is fully owned by the non-profit. IANAL, so I don't know the complexities involved with the setup. It's more complicated than tr…

You speak pretty definitively on the topic. I'm guessing you have some experience with construction that's worth sharing? Would love to hear a positive story of how it turned out!

There is no single voice here on HN. It is a divisive, complex issue. Not only are (some) individuals uncertain on where they stand, but the community itself does not entirely agre…

Thanks for the anecdote! There does seems to be diversity among the suite of tools large companies use to conduct business. The parents point seems to still stand -- a significant …

This pretty much sums up my opinions on the matter. I'm glad someone else took the time to write it up and share it with others.

Correct! The frustrating part (for me) is Apple’s lack of transparency in the extended delay in the release of this feature. It was heavily promoted, yet to find out that the ECG f…

Edit: Still not in Canada, though it seems to be in more countries. Very frustrating! Original: I don't think they enable the ECG feature for anyone outside the US. It's locked bas…

I really connected with your comment, and it mirrors my personal attitude. Particularly this part: > I see this project as an attempt at absolute honesty. And if we're being honest…

> Lol @ software engineers complaining about ageism and at the same time thinking retraining a 50yo truck driver is a reasonable solution I'm not sure who these software engineers …

That seems like a gross oversimplification. Retraining could fit as a component of a much larger plan to tackle the issues facing the job market and employability of people in thes…

> This is a conversation about education. Actually, this particular part of the thread you're responding to is about wealth inequality, economic policy, short-term political thinki…

I can't downvote so I can't say why. My first impression though is that your post doesn't offer much to the conversation. Sure, that's better than nothing. People should start the …

> This is horrible reporting if by “record” they mean “log meta data like swipe coordinates and recreate it.” That is not the same as record. Is there much of a practical differenc…
