The Apple Goes Mushy Part I: OS X's  Interface Decline

That's actually one of the reasons why I avoided shopping at Radio Shack.

Every other business in town just silently pulls your information using the bank card, and leaves cash customers alone. Asking for my telephone number and/or ZIP code is not a necessary part of the transaction.

I don't actually care much that they have the info. There's no easy way around it, and if you ever order goods to be delivered to your home, you're hardly keeping it a secret. What I really objected to was the extra inconvenience at the point of sale.

And also having to endure "help" from clueless employees. I hate that "can I help you find anything, sir?" If I need help, I will find a person who doesn't look like a total noob and ask them, because I really don't need another warm body scanning the shelves next to me, who doesn't even know what the thing I want looks like.
Post should be called Hacker Alternative Playlist. Then its appropriate.

Okay, here's some suggestions. Test them out and see what happens I guess. Frankly, I have no idea what will happen if you do them:

1) Take a random amount of money... $25...$50... research and donate it to a charity you think is cool. Pick one and do it. Like now.

2) Are you in your house right now? Still on your computer? Go outside and walk around. It doesn't have to be supremely interesting or perfect.

3) Go to a coffeeshop or other place you can sit. Get a drink. Stare at the wall without your computer. Try not to be productive. Drink your coffee. You are not allowed to be productive.

4) The book "Feeling Good" helped me immensely.
How can an officiel website say "even when a president tries to unlawfully refuse to enforce our laws" ? It doesn't seem very neutral, I wouldn't except such an article to challenge the decision taken by the president of a country.
I think live video streaming for mobile is going to be far more than a fad. I believe we're very close to a tipping point, where all will take is a single high profile case (imagine someone live streaming an instance of police brutality for example) for the technology to reach a mass audience.
Why is an account needed for the demo??? That turned me off enough to give up. I am tired of having to create an account for everything and anything - and it makes managing passwords harder, or promotes using weaker passwords. I don't want to live in a world where each step I take on the internet requires a separate account/password!
Hi guys.

[Shameless plug warning]

We at Ecosia (www.ecosia.org) help build this thing. You can help as well by using our search engine and other products.

If you have any questions I can probably answer them or ask my team for details.

Here you can find some pictures from the planting process:

I could also provide some more if there's interest.
Donno how good it is but they have a cat mascot so thats a start.
Are people not using elastic authentication?
“Porn mode” is bad name for the thing because for the typical porn use case the user actually wants the persistent persistent browser state (eg. so that pornhub’s “Recommended for you” shows relevant content) and only wants it to be disconnected from their non-porn online activity.
> Are there places where carrying a pocket knife without using it is automatically illegal?

Yes, of course. Lots of them.

In Spain carrying with you any pocket knife with blade > 11 cm (or any automatic pocket knife <11 cm) is illegal unless you have a special permit for that.

You can have it at your home as a collection, but not in public spaces. Having one can be reasonable in some activities (ej police will not care normally if you scuba dive with a knife but will frown if you carry it in the front seat of your car when returning home)
Having const generics will also permit much more elegant implementations of low level linear algebra.

For example, when writing a `GEMM` (general matrix multiplication) routine, the core building block is a so called kernel, which gets moved over the matrices like a stencil. The size of the kernel however depends on a) the numerical precision (float, double), b) the available SIMD intrinsics, and c) the architecture the code is executed on (haswell, skylake or zen have different latency and throughput for different intrinsics).

Right now it's surprisingly painful to write an optimal kernel and buffer, which is different for every architecture and which you need to kind of hardcode. With const generics this should become much easier.
Chrome warns you that websites that you visit may still track you. It doesn't warn you that Google, who owns Chrome, will still track you, which would put the lie to "incognito" anyway.

It's as silly as if I ran an "anonymous" clinic where you didn't have to give your name, but my employees were instructed to figure out who you were by running in-house facial recognition software and to place the results in your file. That's materially different than warning people that "although our clinic is anonymous, you may be recognized in the waiting room by other patients" which is the way people understand Chrome's warning.
It’s actually a conservative estimate with the variable being tech growth (10-15 years no tech growth, I’d honestly put that number lower). If these tech ipos don’t realize their supposed profit potential (trading at large valuations), the industry will retract. The inflow of labor will then just sort itself out (job cuts, no new jobs, wage cuts - standard race to the bottom).

We need tech growth to justify the inflow, or else. :(

The bootcamp runners are not really invested in career stability. They make their money at the entrance, what happens after is, literally, not their business.

It’s the same as Comp Lit professors in college. Their business is to sell you that between 18-22. What happens after? They don’t give a shit. It’s odd, it’s like the same enemy that got you the first time, ends up getting you again.

Shame on who? I lost count. If you are seriously going to make a career change, try Medical. It’s harder for a reason.
source code should also be included as a matter of course...

i don't think it is an oversell, in the sense that it is still unusual to include source code and experimental setups [at least in my field]. a replicable environment with included source code is a large step forward.

sad as that might be.
You could install Windows on it, but wouldn't that require Boot Camp to be set up first?
They claim that backgammon is, other than chess, the most enduring board game?

I have to wonder if a lot of the people criticizing this blog post actually read the whole thing.

Note the title: Things I learned. She's posting about her internship experience and the lessons she learned. She's not trying to give nuanced, universally applicable advice for how to become famous in every circumstance and industry.

She's talking about "fame" from a specific perspective -- that of a student who might be intimidated by the success of someone like Zuckerberg. She relates the example of Paul Butler and his "fame". It's clear he's not "famous" in the conventional sense, but that he simply created something that people in the industry liked enough to tweet and email around. She realizes that there may not be anything intrinsically different about the people who attract "fame", and that her having cut Zuckerberg in the lunch line makes him just another regular person who lines up for lunch and gets cut in line. The reason Zuck's famous is that he did something that people liked (and now he's arguably conventionally "famous" because peopled liked it at scale).

I found this to be a simple and useful reminder that our heroes are human too, and all of them got where they are by doing stuff.

There's an almost pathological compulsion here to analyze every word and sentence, hoping for some incisive way to show one's cleverness. I think that's missing the point.

Co-Organizer here. There are posts every month about this event - but they don't always end up on the first page of HN unfortunately. Check HNKansai.org if you want to know about the next monthly event schedule.

Yeah, there are similar events in Tokyo, look for HN Tokyo meetup in HN Search and you will find them as well. They have it every month too.
WebRTC?

As far as I know Silverlight's primary draw is DRM. Good riddance.
Not to mention the amount of features they'd have to remove in order to comply with Apple's standards.
i don't follow your reasoning. the final line tells us that he doesn't know how many btc he personally was credited with in the mtgox wallet.

what he says before that tells us that

a.) his btc are in the same "situation" as those of regular mtgox users,

b.) he believes his btc and thus everyone else's are "just temporarily unavailable"
I was just going to recommend this book myself. Before reading it, I had no idea how long some of these aqueducts are and how many dams had been built nationwide (and why) - now when I fly I can't help but trace water paths and look for dams. It's a great look in to how cities in the arid southwest can exist and just how close some could be to non-existence.

EDIT: This article does a decent job touching on the scale of the water projects in California. Cadillac Desert provides a decent look into that scale on a national level (though, admittedly, most of the mind blowing information revolves around California).
Is there one of these for Kanto/Tokyo?

I really wish this had been posted more than two days in advance.
Not to worry, I am sure they will be purchased with stolen bitcoins :-P
indeed. it was the first thing i looked for... and when i saw $10 i was shocked that broadcast.com had any use let alone billions...
I do recall seeing somebody's project over the past few weeks. It did this, pretty much. I can't recall the URL, but it had three or so iframes - one with HN article listing, one with the page destination and another with comments.

Personally, it ended up being a worse experience than just using HN as it is. I do agree, though, that target="_blank" would be a very nice addition.
Yes, because only people who have dropped everything and moved to NYC or SF are entrepreneurs.

In fact, that's the most pretentious thing I've read all day. There are MANY people who are entrepreneurs on the side while still supporting a family from their cubical farm. Not everyone can "leave everything" and sleep on a couch in SF like they're 20.
I've seen some good results from StackOverflow, but this is pretty spot on. If it doesn't link to either of those two sites or SO, then it may link me to some random programming thread where the problem in question was brought up 4 years ago(or more!) and was bumped 3 times by the author with no or near useless answers.
And third, it produces redundant solutions for ground queries.
Your post really resonates well with me. I wondered many times in my life, how do you effectively tax actual rich people without squashing the middle class?

Many EU states seem to get this very wrong.

Is the US really more "ultracapitalist" than classical Manchester Capitalism was? I have my doubts.

I'm not sure how you understand identity politics, but a diverse group of tiny sub-cultures on a "separate but equal"-platform don't create a cohesive society. There are a few points of exchange in music, food and pop culture but not much more, and any notion of assimilation gets rejected (hence the shift from "the melting pot" to "the salad bowl"). If you were to apply "divide and conquer", putting more emphasis on the differences between individuals instead of their similarities and creating lots of small groups instead of a single large one is probably a good way to create cracks.
Quick question:
What is the meaning of the numbers?
In findings they give number followed by a cdot and then another number with percent sign.

P values are treated in a similar way, you have leading zero then a cdot more zeros and a number.

What is this suppose to mean?
Where can I read up on that notation?

Well... I assume that most Alexandrians weren't to be found in the library, at any given moment in time.

In any case, a smartphone with social media (fb even) was the entry point to personal computing for most people on earth. They entered through the lobby, I guess.
RMS might be a serial killer or pedo but until this is proven by the authorities what a sane person can conclude is that there is no actual evidence for such accusations, just some people with a grudge on RMS remembering 20 years old stories of RMS committing the crime of making them uncomfortable.

Or some argue that RMS did no crime but is just not good for PR reasons so we should put someone more cool on the top, someone that speacks using political language.
Unless the lockdown ends before covid 19 completely dies out, we should all think of what we can do to minimize the destruction.

If a mask doesn't harm the wearer, doesn't take away from the supply needed by medical and other essential personnel, and can help stop or minimize spread from asymptomatic carriers, why not wear one?

It seems that masks might harm the wearer if warn incorrectly. Well, here's some information - https://www.info.gov.hk/info/sars/en/facemask.htm - looks like there are already lots of videos as well. (And they would need to be adequately cleaned, no question.)

Taking away from essential personnel - don't think that's applicable to cloth ones.

And i think most studies show they reduce spread of viruses. Probably not eliminate, but reduce.

So, I certainly intend to wear one - I have 2 on order. And I hope others will too. It won't solve the entire problem, but it can help.

A password manager is way faster. It's just one tap.

The email flow is slower. I need to switch apps, wait for the email, open it, click on the link.
a lot of apps look non-native on os X, with apple starting the trend of ignoring their own HIGs about 5 years ago.

I don't really mind, since osx happens to be my daily driver since about a year, but whenever people claim that osx is visually coherent I can't shake the feeling they are stuck in 1998 and Mac os 8.
Face-to-face interaction is very important to both roles. You can certainly offload some, maybe most, academic instruction to online, but not the tutoring part.

I talked a few friends of mine into hunting down some sugar-free tonic water for me. One of my friends brought me 2 liters, dropping them and running away when I opened the door :-). I started drinking it, not really thinking it would help. I drank a liter over a few hours while reading about the world coming to and end and watching serene videos of the earth from the space station set to calming music. A few hours later, still noodling around on the web, I suddenly noticed that my breathing difficulty was almost completely gone, as well as my desire to cough.

Today it is still better and I am on my second liter of tonic, so drinking tonic water when you get COVID-19 seems to be a useful hack. I am only one data point, so we cannot be sure this works. If it works for someone else, we will have a trick. If it works for lots of people, we will have a well-established technique :-). NOTE: you can poison yourself with quinine, so do not drink liter after liter of it: https://www.finanzen.ch/nachrichten/aktien/the-quinism-found...
It has been, I think, 5 days since the last case in Wuhan (guess there's a debate about a case that may have occurred yesterday/today, but jury's out on that one based on media reports).

That said, if the 5 days is true, then you wouldn't expect them to remove the lockdown until they know they've starved the virus for the incubation period (I think it's generally accepted that 14 days is the number, but that there are potentially longer outliers). By that logic, you wouldn't expect them to lift the lockdown materially for another 9 days and even then you would expect them to only gradually lift restrictions while they ensure no new cases emerge.

I'm sure there are media outlets saying China has "defeated" the virus, but from what I've read they've contained it, kept new infections to a minimum (attributing all at this point to imported cases) and are still on varying degrees of lockdown. And this is hardly reputable, but I follow people on Instagram who are in Shanghai and folks there still talk as if things are far from normal... There are still restrictions on what you can do, where you can go.

If we better contain our treatments so that they do not pollute the environment I would think the longevity of any new drug should increase. The wholesale use of some antibiotics in farming is one area where the leakage occurs from
I'd like to point out a number of serious methodological issues with this study.

1. They tested whether the dye was tasteless on students who were not wine students, just students pulled off of the agricultural school campus. This study basically says "Group A, who aren't trained in tasting, say that there's no taste. However, Group B, trained in tasting, report a difference." (More on that "difference" below.)

2. They tested the dye as being tasteless when mixed with wine. If it's truly tasteless they should do the same test with water. I suspect they don't because it does have a taste, more in this below.

3. Even in their experiment on untrained students trying to show that it is "tasteless," the wine containing dye was in fact identified as tasting different 120/300 times (expected value 100/300 if there was no difference in taste). This is not enough evidence to show definitively whether the dye is tasteless or not. The raw evidence reported actually indicates that it is more likely to have a taste than to not have a taste.

4. The way that they asked the wine students to compare the wines is convoluted - overly complicated, as if to obscure the truth. The wine students were asked to compare wines by sorting each feature as belonging more to Wine A versus Wine B. So, if neither wine particularly has some feature, you would still be forced to assign the feature to one of the two wines. The only two wine comparisons done were true white wine versus true red wine, and then true white wine versus white wine dyed to look red. They never actually do a comparison of the white wine dyed to look red compared to true red wine, which would be the most informative comparison.

I will transition here from methodological issues with this study to my opinion on this study.

This study appears to have been designed with a specific outcome in mind, regardless of the underlying truth about people's ability to taste wine. The conclusions stated in the study are not supported by the evidence actually collected in the study. The best thing I can say for this paper is that they report their methods clearly enough for someone to be able to see that they are heavily flawed.
Thanks for the info. While checking out vert.x 4.0 I had a hard time figuring out language support from the release notes and blog posts.
But what was the baseline hardware for a reasonable training time?
While I might agree with a slightly different version of this opinion, I strongly disagree with the terms "proof" and "just as much" here.
I just hope for the best. There's only so much you can do.
