If you've been using Homebrew for 4 years, you probably missed MacPorts' adoption of binary packages, automatic detection+repair of broken library linking, sandboxing of builds, etc.

That's resolved all of the fragility (and heinous build times) that previously existed.
I read that, but how is this different from "real world" usage? Are people just displaying stills or what? I just don't get it.
There's an interesting discussion happening on Reddit involving ex-employees of both companies:

https://www.reddit.com/r/programming/comments/3n2sc1/why_fog...
And that's totally fine, and I let Homebrew own /usr/local too. What I'm not going to do is freak out when a totally sane and useful security feature breaks that install mode, especially when I could, if I cared that much about convenience, just take 30 seconds to disable the security feature.
Ditto, though here's the problem with amazon: buying apple stuff on there is a shit experience.

Go there right now and type macbook pro in the search. You'll get a page of results with these top results:

Apple MacBook Pro MF839LL/A 13.3-Inch Laptop with Retina Display (128 GB) NEWEST VERSION
Apple MacBook Pro MD101LL/A 13.3-Inch Laptop
Apple MacBook Pro MJLQ2LL/A 15.4-Inch Laptop with Retina Display (NEWEST VERSION)
Apple MacBook Pro MB990LL/A 13.3-Inch Laptop
Apple MacBook Pro MJLT2LL/A 15.4-Inch Laptop with Retina Display (NEWEST VERSION)

As a consumer, how the hell am I supposed to know what those are? I see a bunch of sellers called their listings "NEWEST VERSION" but is that true? What the fuck is a MF839LL/A?

The whole thing is a mess.

But yeah, I bought prime 4 years ago and amazon became my one stop shop for everything. This is their threat to google's business of taxing ecommerce via owning discovery. Amazon wins if search starts there and skips google; excluding items from prime dilutes that value.

But let's be honest: this is obviously amazon leveraging their ecommerce power to force apple to build amazon prime video into apple tv.
That reminds me of a certain car manufacturer. Did they license the "unit under test" heuristics?
Seeking work - Remote only - mb11r@my.fsu.edu

I have about 6 years worth of experience in IT support (repair technician > head technician > help desk technician > help desk manager) and have been working on my BS in Computer Science for the past 4 years. I don't have a lot of professional programming experience. Under my belt, I have an "internship" (more of a trial period where we decided to split ways) for a startup that was essentially an email newsletter for a demographic that doesn't really use email or newsletters as well as doing Google Summer of Code working on an open source MMO called Ryzom.

I'm most experienced in Python (+ Flask), Java, and C++. I have non-trivial, yet not masterful, experience with HTML+CSS, C, JavaScript (+ Angular, JSON), SQLite, and BASH. I also have the general "full-stack" knowledge that you would expect a help desk manager that doesn't have a sys admin above them to be able to do.

This is bomb. Interesting to see someone borrowing a page from microkernels to bring the networking stack into userspace.

Hopefully, technologies like this create a renaissance for protocol design. ZT does the heavy lifting in terms of security and routing, and devs are just left with a flat network that can be optimized for the particular application. We've already had some pretty big wins using ZT to do this for encrypting links between our own microservices -- it'll be even nicer when we can do this at the container-level, without any additional Linux kernel hackery.
The sad part is that /usr was supposed to be the original Unix user home directories.

/bin was where you kept your binaries, and /lib for your libraries.
Morally, they do owe an explanation. They're a giant in their market, shutting out competitors with no good reason.

I don't think that Netflix is Prime Video's competition; it's iTunes, Google Play, and DVD sales.
I think the issue is that I have a laptop at home and iMac at work so I don't bring my computer on my commute. Also, I like the extra security of the fingerprint scanner on my iPhone.
I'm surprised how little scons is mentioned in all the chatter around the announcements of Bazel, Buck, and Pants. We use it with swtoolkit and it's really slick how multiple environments can be built up. The only problem is it's slower to start building than I would like (because it has to set up the OS environment for msvc every time, which takes 400+ms).

Unfortunately swtoolkit seems to be dead since a couple years ago.

hmm, I wonder if it's possible to require modules in vanilla browser JavaScript ... Both require() and module.export is valid JavaScript, so it should be possible! You just need a service that will redirect a module name to an on-line repository.
I live with one other person. Combined rent is less than $2k / month for a good sized 2 bedroom apartment a block and a half from a big subway hub. We have a full size grand piano in the living room and it's still spacious. The kitchen is also a pretty good size (at least by Manhattan standards). I suppose some might call this modest. But I wouldn't consider it "very modest". I also have friends who live in the city fairly comfortably on as little as ~30k / year.
Statically memory managed already has a meaning. It means that there is no malloc during runtime, all memory addresses are decided (usually manually) beforehand and written into the executable.

50% C++, 25% Java

http://qr.ae/RP7wXh

At Google's scale, the performance difference between Java and C++ can means millions of dollars in electricity alone.
I am fascinated that no one uses Objective C on the back end. Fast, low memory, quick to code in, high-level-enough, a mix of static and dynamic typing, and no garbage collection. Also plenty of expertise you can hire for, maybe already within your company. I think if Obj C had a good story for deploying on Linux (and not losing modern features like ARC), it would make sense to use it, so we'd see sites doing it and open source tools like a good webapp framework. It is because you would need to run OS X servers? (And is that even true?)
So, basically: if you got fired tomorrow, four people would be homeless, and 2 people would be foodless because you don't have any savings, and you consider yourself to be a responsible human. Bravo.
If they just put some effort into their streaming user experience, they wouldn't have to resort to these sort of tactics. Sad.
I wonder when they'll use that AWS stronghold they have to do similar things in that industry. But that's okay, keep putting all your eggs in their proprietary tech. It just means I'll have a job when that day comes.
But, you don't pay for the app, you shouldn't need to pay for the app--much like Netflix. The service is separate.

something is amiss here: don't you already get a javascript runtime free with every browser already?
What if the thing you're trying to access from doesn't have a USB port? Like, an intelligent table surface, a digital wall, a smart goggle device, or even an tablet that only has a micro-USB port?

Information flow protocols and hardware should be abstracted and separated in the same way that we generally separate church and state in most modern nations. Otherwise, the innovation of either is going to be pulled behind by the other.
It's funny you should bring that line up -- "The Andromeda Strain" (also by Crichton) features a microbe that's able to decompose plastics and rubbers.

To you and me though, it does kind of sound like Amazon is using their dominant position in the "online-store market" to squash competition in the "online video market", doesn't it? To me, it sounds like that's exactly what they are doing.

Whether it seems that way to the FTC or to a lawyer who understands the relevant laws is another question.

You would _think_ Amazon would run this by their lawyers first.... and do it only if their lawyers thought they could get away with it? I dunno.

Neither. You probably can't live in Manhattan for that price, but you don't have to be too far out.
Depends on what you're trying to auth with. For example, I was just reading about activating 2FA on my Google account and the backup options were:

* SMS Verification code

* Manually generated list of backup verification codes
Basic income is for everyone, workers and the unemployed, rich and poor alike. Or at least it should be. Every dollar you earn should be a bonus, on top of basic income, or else like you said, you create disincentives to work. If you're referring to the "fairness" of the distributed tax burden, that's a problem with or without basic income.
Great point. Don't they also earn money from each AppleTV and Chromecast sold through Amazon? Unless they were doing it at a 0 gain seems stupid not to profit from sales of competing products. They must really be banking on the increase in Prime sales making up that difference.

That's fair. I think we can say there are two kinds of "do you achieve these numbers in the real world?" One being whether you can do so without completely artificial conditions, and one being whether you always get the given numbers. It seems we're just talking about different ones there.

An interesting point from that, since everyone likes to bash Wasabi:

> "If we hadn't done Wasabi, then we'd have had to rewrite all of FogBugz, and that would've killed the company. Wasabi also gave us stuff that developers are only now rediscovering, like code that executes on both client and server (e.g. via server-side/client-side React), that even gave us a development edge. I've written about this at length (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9779133) and won't revisit it, but while I think that Wasabi targeting .NET may have been a mistake, Wasabi itself was not a mistake."
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/2011_San_Fernando_massacre#A...

One of the most horrific things I've ever read.
Are we referring to the same article? The Android Police article linked above reports that Amazon blocked users who tried to run the app on non-Sony TVs:

> But now it doesn't work. "License Error" codes have started showing up when running the Instant Video app on the Nexus Player, presumably because someone at Amazon saw that it was running on non-blessed hardware and shut it down.
Is this the end of tipping?
My thoughts as well. It very much resembles an XU4, which would also match their declared "Pro" specs at 8 cores, 2GB RAM. Personally I think the XU4 is the best price/performance package you can get right now in this form factor. Glad to see they seem to agree! Of course, if it's something else, I'd love to know.

Probably what it feels like now when people predominantly use paper bags and paper wrap. Plastic is great, material-wise, but it's hardly our single defense against health problems.

The best way to increase usage of their video streaming would be to make the interface suck less.

Finding shows and videos is a pain in the ass, and it's very difficult to find shows and there's no way to find shows or movies that I've previously watched, even if I didn't finish them.

I've been working my way through all of the Twilight Zone episodes, and even after completely watching seasons 1, 2, 3, and half of season 5, it still doesn't show up as suggested for me or anything. I have to search for it every single night, and the shows don't even show up in the top results, I have to scroll half way down the page to find it.

And then a lot of shows are missing a random season or two. The Twilight Zone is missing season 4, for example.

I only use it because I already have prime and don't watch enough to pay for Netflix. If I had to pay, I'd use something else.

I think one advantage for me that rust has in this area is that you can very easily write core/computational stuff in rust and use it from your current python codebase, and then if/when you need to switch the entire codebase away from python, you've already got the libs done.
Make sure to reverse all applicable portions of the argument, or it won't make sense (and even then it's not necessary that the reverse be true for the argument to be true).

It's more akin to a friend who has a terrible job spending a few days working at a good job and realizing their job is terrible (to keep it reversed), or like a friend that has a good job but thinks it's terrible spending a few days actually working a terrible job and realizing how good theirs is (to keep the argument the same as AJ007 presented).
