Congrats on an impressive achievement and milestone. This is a great outcome, great work, and an indication of how far the hardware industry/tooling has come.

This feels though a little to me like building a simple SaaS service, and deploying it on a managed cloud service, and concluding all software is really easy!

This project is near to (if not at) the easy end of the hardware product difficulty/complexity spectrum. Some great choices were made to keep it simple and therefor easy.

An alternate take-away: "If you keep things simple, hardware doesn't have to be as hard"

I agree and appreciate you calling this out.

It’s easy to not understand the impact or meaning of referring to violence in a flip way when one has never had to have experienced it.

I’m glad to see someone else that loves objective-c as much as I do. It is delightful.

It’s a fantastic language and tools. I wish it had had more time to polish, expand, and potentially grow beyond mainly Mac and iOS before swift happened.

I bought a machine with a 75Mhz blue lightning "486" as an upgrade to a 386SX/20. It was sold as the budget 486 at the time, and I learned the lesson the hard way that sometimes budget really does mean a lot worse!

Performance wasn't great and compatibility was an issue more than you'd expect.

At Sense we make a home energy monitor that provides real-time appliance-level monitoring using machine learning. Hardware is indeed hard as everyone said it would be!

Hi HN - I built a Winamp-like audio player for Mac. I buy/download a lot of music and could not find an audio file player that was lightweight, made it easy to skip through and audition tracks, and native to MacOS.

I'm interested in feedback or anyone that would like to help collaborate on it, either programming or design, the latter of which could definitely use some help. Thanks!

I've got a working macOS Winamp-inspired music player I've been working on. I was thinking of open-sourcing - anyone here interested in something like this?

I bought two play:5 v1s from the Sonos web site in late 2014, so 5.5 years ago. Today they announce the are EOL in May. This wouldn't be so bad except for this part of the announcement:

"Please note that because Sonos is a system, all products operate on the same software. If modern products remain connected to legacy products after May, they also will not receive software updates and new features."

So if I keep my 5 year old speakers the rest of my system will also not receive updates and may become non-functional.

This kind of anti-customer behavior is a great way to ensure your evangelists abandon your brand permanently.

The BeatsX are as close as you can get right now. Same ease of use/pairing/sound quality, if you can live with the cord in connected the two buds.

Strongly disagree. I think this is the cynical view, and I'm sure is valid in many companies, but raising potential issues early is really important - other people can't fix problems if they don't know about them. It sounds like you have visibility into a problem that others may not, tell them! Don't assume people already know.

Like some of the other posts said - be real. If people don't respond well to this then the company has a bigger problem than a slipped schedule.

It's a marketing piece to highlight Imagination Technologies offerings. The title is misleading.

Just tried it - few obvious ones on first open:

* Clicking on unstaged/staged files changes the diff view but the highlight on the file works on only half of the files, seems to be random when it works and doesn't work

* Highlight to show which branch is selected is gone (History is selected by default and highlighted, when you click out highlight is gone forever)

* Sometimes diffs are completely blank (https://s3.amazonaws.com/uploads.hipchat.com/29857/194444/fU...)

* UI flickers, is about 2x as slow as previous version

Don't mean to pick apart a free product, but this is a tool we have been using for years and to have a pushed update regress things this much is a surprise.

I don't know why they have not pulled the new version yet.. apart from the login issue that blocked most people from using the app, there are so many regressions and new bugs it is unusable.

I'm surprised to see such a big misstep from Atlassian.
