I had (well, still have, but don't use) a w510. It worked just as well as the t61 before it (which was to say, they both did great under Linux), but it didn't have hybrid graphics... it was Nvidia all the time. The only reason I've replaced it was that it had absolutely abysmal battery life. Old job bought me a comparable ultrabook that weighs 20 pounds less and has 3x the battery life and I couldn't be happier.
Interesting post, not sure I agree that the points raised mean AngularJs is a bad choice. Consider first objection - two way binding. Not only there are user-space solutions (bindonce), but now there is standard one-way binding in ng v1.3.

The Angular does nice job allowing simple interactive apps to be written in 30 minutes by anyone familiar with HTML and JavaScript. At the same time, if the app performs what is needed by the client, the app can be profiles, and each bottleneck can be optimized in a couple of steps.

For example, we went through this process and described the steps we used in http://bahmutov.calepin.co/improving-angular-web-app-perform...
I guess because firefox made a bad decision that they're fixing, it means none of us can have nice things?
If you do not understand the code, you cannot say you tested it. It may have corner cases you did not anticipate. The test may be incomplete and only cover what you think the program should do.
I guess, yea, do business with people you trust.

I've found butchers and farmers to be generally upstanding people. I'm also in the heart of farm country. I would be a lot more leery of people targeting a more urban market.
Not sure if you're talking about the timescale of obsolescence or the timescale of the value crashing. One could make the argument that ICE cars becoming obsolete is an event that has already happened, so let's set that aside.

You're right that my view of this is US-centric, my bad for that.

Value crashing is interesting. Cars have a fairly long lifespan so the transition to ownership of EVs is slow, I would agree with that if that's what you're saying. But the transition to crashing value does not have to be as slow. If the perceived value of an option is 2% better than another option, that does not equate to a 2% price difference. It equates to a much bigger price difference.

Of course a lot of EVs are still crappy and the perceived value of ICE cars is still high due to rampant ignorance about charging options (in the US and Europe) or simple lack of charging options (in the developing world). But that can change very quickly as EVs and the infrastructure get better, and then even though the ownership transition is slow, people will be stuck owning ICE cars when they would prefer to own something 2% better, or 10% better, or 90% better.
The only analogue that comes to mind is in financial fraud detection: moving money slowly or in a predictable pattern (monthly rent payments etc.) triggers no alarms, but large or unexpected transfers raise alarms.
ATL is the busiest passenger airport in the world, so I think that just reflects that a large proportion of traffic to and from Florida will route through there, plus just the usual seasonal traffic.
No opportunities while Comcast, et al. impose caps.
I have no problem with anything I say during the course of conducting an interview getting back to any of (a) my manager, (b) HR, (c) Legal. None!

What's all this fear about the boss knowing you have issues with the job? Everyone, repeat, everyone has some issue, however minor, with a job. Owners, managers, etc. already know this. It's not something to hide unless you're working in a really sucky place that can't handle any level of dissent. And in that case you should probably think seriously about leaving (unless you like that kind of thing).

Wanna know what my answer is to most candidates who ask me about something I don't like about my job? The bureaucracy. We are in a highly regulated industry and it can take an annoying amount of time and paperwork to complete some tasks and it gets tedious and frustrating at times. There, I said it. Believe me when I say that the people I work for are well aware of this problem.
True, but at least it shows you the actual result of applying the diff to the HEAD, as opposed to all other GUI tools that show you a diff that nobody has seen, let alone tested, in a merged state. So what is done by bitbucket is better in that regard.
Why does the author of that article use such stupid punctuation in the byline? "Ted Chiang’s science fiction wins piles of awards. When he publishes, which is hardly ever."
> But they are actually shipping the product! Such a scam would not last long.

I agree that the scam will not last long.
And even then you could get home grown weed:

> A pot bust on the tenth floor led to the police donating hydroponic equipment to Whittier’s school for a vegetable garden, which Joey Lipscomb oversaw through eighth grade.

Amazing.
That way lies the path of not having a smartphone.

All smartphones on the market involve some level of closed source - whether that's the baseband, the graphics blob, the chipset, the ROM, the firmware, or the complete operating system. Any of these could theoretically intercept the voice from the microphone / speaker, encode it and ship it on some back channel to the Five Eyes.

At that point it's simply a matter of where you draw the line between paranoia (that the NSA are reading your thoughts and have compromised everything) / idealism (e.g. RMS) and ease of use.
One of my favourite slang phrases in Chinese is 土豪, for which the closest English equivalent I can find is nouveau riche.

Gold-coloured consumer products (e.g. champagne-coloured iPhone) are described as 土豪金 (金=gold）。On Taobao, this will often appear alongside other colour choices (white, black, silver) described in more plain language.
How much does it cost to live there? Like that guy who is running a grocery store? Seems like he could spend his whole day with browsing the web given the customers to expect!
So it starts to load the html player but nothing plays? The videos are from either Youtube, Vimeo, or Dailymotion.

Hackers, Startups and business in uncertain times

Its the classic "how do I get from here to there" issue. The current S curves are stuttering, the new ones are starting up, but:

(i) the current value of new business can't make up for the loss of old (usually exacerbated by new business being sold at a discount to gain market share by newer startups).

(ii) it is unclear which stepping stones are going to lead to the new S curve, and which are dead ends.

Kamcord (YC S12) Is Looking for iOS App and SDK Engineers

Our app’s first major launch was featured by Apple in the Entertainment category for five consecutive weeks.

Work with the product, design, and growth “team” (1 person each :D) to plan and prioritize future app features.
WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR

Driven team player who doesn’t need hand-holding to get things done. We love folks that own things 110%.
Deep understanding of Objective-C and iOS programming best practices.
Comfort with multithreaded code. You eat race conditions for breakfast.
“Close enough” doesn’t cut it at Kamcord. We want people who obsess over user experience and pixel perfection.

BONUS POINTS

Shipped quality apps to the iOS App Store.
Solid working knowledge of testing frameworks and build systems for iOS apps.
Experience designing robust client-server APIs.
You want to dominate at everything from company ping-pong battles to board game nights.

WHY YOU SHOULD JOIN US

We’ve kept our hiring bar really high - you will work with the best.
Our app engineering team is just 3 engineers - you’ll get the opportunity to take on a lot of responsibility and grow a ton!
You’ll continue to build a community that produces heart-warming videos like http://www.kamcord.com/v/8IMDuw1vd6p and genuinely makes people happier.
We still have so much to do from adding basic features like notifications to designing an iPad app from scratch - you’ll be joining at the ground level.
We’re very supportive of people that want to start their own company in the future.

Aside from Marco Baringer's FiveAM, I don't know of any Common Lisp test suite that has support for spec testing ala Haskell's Quickcheck. I think this is a great concept for testing no? Clojure seems to have this in the form of Reid Draper's Simple-check test suite.

Any pointers to CL resources that deal with this would be greatly appreciated.

Looking for equally minded engineers
Hi everyone,

I have been following HN now for a few months. I really feel this is the place where my personal interests are well represented. Ranging from CI/DevOps, Development and Startups.
I am pretty unfortunate to not have many people around me, being at the same level of interest or even further, being interested in the little nitty gritty details that holds the world of IT together.
So my point here is, I'm looking to talk to people of similar mindset, which might even result in the development/generation of new opprtunities.

About me: A 23 years old IT "addict", interested in almost anything. I'm currently in the process of pursuing my master studies, while bringing the spirit of DevOps to a large company in Germany.
I develop primarily in Groovy/Java, JavaScript and Go. But I have atleast some experience with most programming language under the sun.
If you feel like minded, do not refrain from contacting me and we see how it goes from there. Looking for relationships on personal as well as business level.

My Skype is: dragoncard
