The people at Google seem to think much more like me than the people at Apple.

There are 3 primary decisions Google made that click with me, while Apple's choices are a mystery to me:

1: When I put a Pixel on a table, it sits there stable. Because the backside is symmetrical. When I put an iPhone on a table, it wobbles.

2: When I sort my photos on a Pixel, I sort them in folders. The "camera" folder is where the unsorted photos are. When I sit in a bus or in a cafe, I go through it and sort the new photos into folders. This seems impossible on iPhones. Everything stays in the main folder forever. You can add photos to albums, but that does not remove them from the main folder. So there is no way to know which photos I have already sorted.

3: On Android I can use Chrome. Which means web apps can use the File System Access API. This makes web apps first class productivity applications I can use to work on my local files. Impossible on iPhones.

I'm sure people who prefer iPhones have their own set of "this clicks with me on iPhones and puzzles me on Pixels" aspects?

Is this a "left brain vs right brain" type of thing? Do most HNers prefer Androids?

The problem with this approach is writing openapi by hand from scratch is incredibly tedious process. Writing Protobufs, capnproto or any such similar idl feels much more productive

The title describes the content of the article. I think people should be treated as adults (esp. on HN). We should be able to discuss Covid-19 science and data without always fearing misinterpretation from anti-vaxxers.

You make it sound like we're all using React and that's all there is to it. That's not quite true, and it's just one of the choices you have to make. So you've decided on React, but what about state management, transpilation, do you use GraphQL? What am I doing for styles, should I write them in Javascript too now? Oh no! Webpack isn't for me! Can I use modules yet? Ah bugger, we need SSR, suppose I should have managed state the "Right Way (v28.6)", doh!

This doesn't have anything to do with Docker, but specifically docker-compose. What are the alternatives you suggest to that? Minikube?

Some scientists/doctors love using cholesterol because its easy to measure. But it's still mostly useless. I wonder if its mostly useless here.

Oh look it is. From the article:

> Comparing the cholesterol and survival rates of the burger-eating crows with those of nearby crows who were weren’t supplemented with fast food, the team found that cholesterol levels did not have a detectable effect on the birds’ survival.

Meanwhile, in a 2015 survey by Credit Suisse Foundation found 54% of docs falsely believed eating cholesterol-rich food raises blood levels of cholesterol and damages the heart. In the words of the survey, "This is a clear example of the level of misinformation that exists among doctors." https://www.credit-suisse.com/about-us-news/en/articles/news...
