Not OP and don't care much about this, TBH, but:

>> Remember the iPhone 4?[...]
> translation: I was too stubborn to buy a case / bumper to prevent this and suffered and bitched for a year instead

It might be just me, but a phone that doesn't work as a phone should mean refunds. It's a design problem (industrial design) and the case is a temporary workaround at best. Are we going to start blaming the clients for the mistakes of a company?

>> apple TV[...]
> Obviously defective unit. too dumb to replace it.

Funny, I have the same issue now, a few years after I got it (as a company gift, I wouldn't have bought it), I wonder how many apple TVs that are 4-5 year old are still working. But again you are blaming the client for mistakes that are solely in the hands of apple.

I agree with you on the other points and personally, the only apple thing I have (apart from the apple TV, as I said, not my idea) is a rMBP that is 4 years old and still works flawlessly. I stand with you on things that are his/her opinion. But faults in manufacturing being passed as client's stupidity?
I've been toying with the idea of using an AMOLED screen with inverted colors for reading. That should be very close to eink, as AMOLED doesn't emit any light for black.
Ask the RN if they think carriers are obsolete given their experience in the Falklands war.

And no having planes flying in form half a content away is not the same as having local assets.
The odd thing is that Facebook has been doing nothing to integrate WhatsApp into its services.

It's obvious though that a lot of the growth that WhatsApp saw was because of Facebook, I wonder if a similar (albeit smaller) effect will happen with LinkedIn.

103300 long tons => 1.049576e+11 grams according to Google.

At a cost of $4.5bn (Wikipedia) that gives you about 4.3¢/g if I'm not mistaken.

Same article says the range is "unlimited; 20-25 years" but doesn't qualify that with speeds. Although if it could sustain 35mph for 20 years, I make that approximately 987bn cm range.
I'm just impressed that someone still manages to be upset about a cellphone they had an antenna issue with 6 years ago. Dedication!
they changed a flag. Its not like they actually removed anything, they just suggested that only a bunch of users is using it and that those may are able to activate it themself.
I don't agree with Governments doing it en-mass (I have no problem with targetted surveillance based on reasonable suspicion) and I have signed various petitions to that effect over the years.

The only real option, apart from revolution, is to move to another country that doesn't do it but I don't think there is one now.

Of bigger concern is that I am in the minority: Most of my circle believe in the terrorist/paedo rhetoric the Government spins and think its justifiable.

As for the commercial stuff, my only problem is if I can't avoid it or I really have to go out of my way to avoid it but so far my tinfoil hat hasn't been breached, e.g. my wife has various loyalty cards but I don't want to carry one... I have that choice with commercial entities

I'm in the UK btw.

I bet they'll still allow it, judging by the implications it would have. But that's my personal bet.

But, You can still open apps by right clicking and pressing Option (Alt) + "Open" menu item. It'll run and be approved going forward.

Guys its not 2000 anymore.
I'd be more interested in understanding why they chose to implement their own file system instead of adopting something like ZFS.

No doubt there is reasoning in there besides the "we are an evil company" logic - Apple developers are people too...
Since the discussion seem to have died down a bit I just have to say it, sorry. Quit beating around the bush.
About 9 months ago i created https://namesmith.io , a business and domain name generator. I practically did nothing to boost the search engine ranking but the volume of visitors is growing (very slowly).

So far the site can barely cover my vserver cost but that's ok since I can use the server for more than just namesmith. Most of the time some few dollar amounts tickle in but I had some sales of premium domains which gave > 50$ each.

I still plan to add some more features, such as URL shortening, but at the time it is not worth it.
If you like it and use it, why don't you pay for it?
Its not just the CAV its the whole support structure you have to attack / get past - you would have to disable the picket ships and CAP as well and then hit the target which in its self has plenty of Point Defense.
What i don't get, is why technical people so passionately want to choose camps. Esp. given that most of them can easily use their knowledge to make things work in a heterogeneous environment. Apple makes for a phone that is imho the best compromise. MS makes a desktop that imho is the best compromise. Linux makes imho the best server platform. Fanboyism is neither "cute" nor responsible. Tech writers should actively discourage their readers from becoming anyone's fanboys. It helps competition, it helps the ecosystem and it promotes better technology.
Lucky for this guy Apple is the only company that has power, processing power, and 3rd party developer constraints to deal with when creating their products. The laws of physics don't apply to other companies. He should be very happy from now on because all other products are fully baked and have no quirks.

The one thing that does worry me is that he will buy the new galaxy 7 and the write an essay about how atrocious the Galaxy s3 was and write off Samsung forever.

<\sarchasm off>

Everyone can have their opinion but this sorta stuff is troll fodder. I don't care what you use or don't use and just because you have a platform doesn't make your opinion any more valuable than mine or other posters here. Had this been a clear, well thought out statement that didn't complain about 5 year old products I might be able to give it some credence. I would love to hear from anyone who read this article and it changed their life. I suspect this will quickly devolve into apple haters vs Apple fans. Tired. Apple isn't forcing you to spend money on their gear.
You can use Adblock Plus. The default settings will allow non-intrusive ads [1]. The company has been criticized for their monetization scheme ('large' entities pay for consideration, while 'smaller' entities are considered for free, with no indication where the line is drawn) but it's the best compromise we got.

Well that's still pretty neat.
but I don't want to move my embedded C projects to C++. If I can use a language extension to get some extra confidence in my programs without changing the language im using then that's a compelling proposition.

Dangers of using Torrents
They don't, it's me.

100 000 tons = 100 000 thousand kilograms = 100 000 thousand thousand grams. You have three different ways to say "thousand" there, one nested. Which seems bit overcomplicated compared to Gg.

The 100Gg is huge, 45Gg is WWII huge, 10Gg is interwar "treaty maximum". 4Gg is what USN currently regards "seaworthy", 2Gg is biggest things that sailed with sails and anything less than 1Gg is no longer ship but a "boat" in modern standards. Convenient?
I use an ad blocker and don't pay for content and really don't feel bad about it.

I'm doing everyone a favor by saving them bandwidth and not counting me and lowering their click-through rates. I was never going to click your ad, or buy anything that started from an ad on the banner of a web page in the first place.

I do think online voting is not a technology question and discussing implementation details is a red herring / bike shedding situation.

I see no incentive in disrupting the status quo and engaging more people in politics from the POV of the current ruling powers benefiting, yet there is a slippery slope argument for more decentralized/direct governing and less powermongering further down the road.
Because it fails to emphasize that there is any difficulty at all.
My biggest problem with GMO is the monocultures that it incentivizes.
>the only serious delivery mechanisms for nuclear weapons are missiles.

And merchant ships docked in your enemy's ports. And trucks.

And terrorists.

WWIII will start as a cyberwar. Western systems of all kinds are insanely vulnerable to cyberattack.

You may not be able to force a Western country to surrender by bringing down its banking and civilian comms systems, but you can certainly make it much less able to fight any other kind of war.

How much money is being spent on cyberdefences?
The reason for labelling isn't just for health impact, though. It's also about being a responsible consumer. If you don't see what went into making a product, you can't use your purchase decision to vote on how you'd like the supply chain to be aligned.

Personally I'm against the over-industrialization of the food supply. Industry wants consistent predictable products it can mass-produce; that's explicitly what I don't want. I don't want every tomato to taste exactly the same, year in year out, everywhere around the world. I want more diversity.
I'd really like to pay for more content. But publishers always resort to dark patterns like forcing you to call to cancel when you can sign up online, or promo prices for a few months only to jack up the price later with little warning. I makes me very hesitant to hand over my credit card.
Not only that, but the list in the original article describes the defaults in a completely unconfigured Emacs installation.

If the argument is that Emacs supports other things as well, then I have nothing to reply. I find it bizarre that someone would complain about features that they font have to use (as someone else already mentioned in this thread).
I recently had a similar problem, browsing a reputable news site (newstatesman.com), I accidentally clicked an ad and got taken directly to a page containing explicit pornography. I complained to the site and they said they do what they can in terms of blacklisting ads, but they don't have enough time or staff.

I can't believe there's no ad network that will take a stand against abusive advertising and actually vet the ads on their network. Surely they could get a lot of business and at least a lot of goodwill. Is it just too labour intensive?
Obama will not even risk bombing Syria. I think nuclear powers are safe.
Lots of climbers use liquid chalk because it's less messy than using powdered or bagged-chalk. It comes out as a thick milky goo which you rub on your hands, the alcohol evaporates off and you're left with a coating of chalk. I've had mixed experiences with it, it lasts longer, but that only seems to be the case if your hands don't sweat. I gave up and went back to powder because I need to reapply often.
I tried really hard to find this problem. I never could. (Might have been GSM-specific, though).
* You can always change to a structure with www if scaling gets a issue, google or existing bookmarks do not care if you do so. You just have to redirect it properly.

* If you have a structure where subdomains are used it is usual to scope your cookies manually. No magic here, just existing standards used right.

* This is stupid
Actually bash 3.2 is GPL v2.0. Later versions switched to GPL v3 and this is why Apple is not updating to newer version.

Give it a few more years and there will be no one left at Apple that has any clue what bash is.
That's not a very generous way of reading the bug report. Nothing has been removed; the feature has been hidden behind a flag.

helenvholmes stated, quite reasonably in my opinion, that the font panel should be replaced with something better. Something that actually provides useful content. Hiding the messy, unhelpful panel so that it's still available to those that want it but not a distraction to those that don't is reasonable compromise if developers don't have the time to make something better quickly. This is why feature flags exist.

Posting this on HN isn't the right way to voice your concerns.
The creator has been working on Sublime full time for over 8 years with only a couple of relatively short breaks, so whatever the return it is clearly enough.

The model seems much the same one a busker uses: no up front admission charge, no enforcement, the music is out there as you walk by, speaking for itself, and there is a hopeful hat on the ground.

Much though creators might like a bit more certainty than that, in a cynical market as reluctant to make purchases as you yourself are, sadly, it seems difficult for an independent to do much better.

Sublime is the best editor I have encountered, and I use it heavily, daily. The busker is a professional virtuoso. If I stand there, entranced, listening, day in day out, it seems churlish to walk away without putting some money in the hat. Therefore I have purchased a license, even though no-one is forcing me to and doing so unlocks no new features.

Apparently enough others also feel the same way.
I bought it a long time ago because I loved it and used it everywhere. Also the license allows me to use it everywhere I need it.
As I am a professional developer myself, and would also like to be paid for my work, I pay for software that I use and like. Best $70 I spent for any piece of software ever.
Where the Web Is Going in 2016
No, threads is a rather late addition to unix. It came in the 90'ies. E.g. Sun Solaris got thread support in 1993. HP/UX got kerner threads in 1997.
I used to work in the industry - mobile ads can be quite targeted. My guess is apps like clash of clans appeal to a wide range of people and are backed by heavy ad spending. This means a wide variety of people will be targeted with their ads.

Doesn't mean ads arent targeted. E.g. a 25 year old white programmer probably isn't getting Spanish language ads, or ads targeting new mothers, or ads for retirement communities.

And even more people feel the need to let us know they are "done" with reading such articles. Each time.
The wiki page should be corrected. Saying "lots of memory" is somewhat ambiguous. If this were the 90s, then it would be right.

As for the recommended amount of system memory, recommended amounts are not the minimum amount which code requires to run. It in no way contradicts my point that the code itself does not need so much RAM to operate. However, it will perform better with more until your entire working set is in cache. At that point, more RAM offers no benefit. It is the same with any filesystem.
I just find it hard to understand how someone with such a long history of deep and personally felt gripes with Apple products talked themselves into buying a 1st gen Apple Watch. I mean I'm a very happy and satisfied Apple customer, but decided not to touch AW for the first gen because it's pretty obviously a marginal utility device and since it's a brand new interaction model sure to have some jankeyness. But no, this guy jumps in with both feet even though he has a long history of bad Apple product experiences. Now that's fearlessness for you!
One thing to note: When the developer tools are opened Chrome will temporarily disable the cache. When the video loops it would normally just reach into cache and re-play the file that was already downloaded. However, with devtools open it will probably re-download all the files again.
Codesigning is only a requirement for app bundles (i.e. native GUI applications), not all executables. The Twitter link indicates that you can still right-click an application, choose open and agree to let it run (this is only necessary the first time you run it), the current beta just removed the Download Apps From: Anywhere option. As of El Capitan (or maybe even Yosemite), OS X automatically changes the setting from Anywhere to App Store and identified developers after 30 days (there are extra command-line hoops to jump through to disable the 30 day expiration).

I'm in favor of the change as long as the contextual menu Open option remains.
You also forget that you have to own a license for business.
Ask HN: Where to go after Brexit
I'm a European software developer, I've been living in the UK for several years now. We are very happy here, but after reading the latest Brexit polls I'm considering moving again with my family in the event leave wins.

Which other European cities are good destinations for software engineers these days?
I wish a lot more people knew the ASA were a part of EASA[1] and that EASA even exist. ASA are happy to get involved with complaints about a wide range of countries[2] (basically all Europe, Canada, Brazil, Chile and the UK Commonwealth).

eg, if you complain about an advert from a Canadian firm the ASA will refer it to the appropriate national agency for you. My limited understanding is this is reciprocal for residents of those nations too.

The rules are being flouted wholesale, yet many nations have an ASA that could do something about it.

While you're right, 15-20 years ago Apple was actually building hardware for creative professionals as well. A lot of people felt betrayed by the consumer shift because the creative industry was all that really kept Apple afloat for a while until the iPod came about. None of the single-port glossy nonsense.
Where developers go, it seems the mass market ends up later on. So you saw a lot of MacBooks at dev conferences from the mid 2000s on, but now.. you're seeing them start to get replaced with Surfaces and other avant garde PCs. MSFT is doing a better job of understanding what developers want lately, and I'm bullish on what this will mean long term if Apple's going to drop the ball on us.
They consider non-intrustive Outbrain, Taboola etc, mindless clickbait trying their very best to look native without breaking any laws. I don't, I loathe those things.

But they won't let me override to block those, they insist I allow everything they've approved, or nothing.

Considering getting back on Flattr (which I used before) with the new Flattr plus option - as long as I still get to review the sites it auto-flattered at end of month, and ideally have a blacklist there as well ("never support this, no matter how many times they manage to draw my clicks"). But I've only got so much money. I will have to go away from individually supporting stuff if I do that.
That's cool, I think there are probably several fields that you can apply this approach to - the obvious one which has been done is cooking. I.e. if you have so many ingredients, what can you make that also maximises your use of leftovers etc.

I wonder if electronics would work the same way. I have a lot of random crap in my component bin, odd sensors and things that need projects. I guess a curated list of e.g. projects you can do with a BMP180 would be nice, rather than having to google. On the other hand a pressure sensor is a pressure sensor, so there wouldn't be much variety.
>It's not that straightforward though; these networks all pile in on each other, layers and layers deep, and in real time. It is very difficult for a publisher to work out who they are dealing with.

Then the publisher should stop working with networks that do this.

That's not in our control as users, only the publisher can do that.
Why isn't there an ad network that lets you inject ads server side? That would solve a lot of problems.
I can agree that in almost all cases these days I will only pay online with a couple of trusted payment processors. If I can't pay using my preferred method I will often forgo the content/item.
Oh that's hilarious. Not only is Android many times worse than iOS in this respect already, now iOS has got rid of the problem completely, but still ragequit.

Does the Macalope still do those pundit takedowns? This week's should be a hoot.
You are welcome. Note that the event count is a general synchronization primitive, the one in folly is just an implementation.

BTW, you can build an efficient event count on top of eventfd, so you can even poll/select it.
Even if you track down the person in the chain of command who's responsible, they just get a slap on a wrist for making the "mistake" of bombing a civilian hospital.
The problem is pretty much all networks do this.
So would like... the UN consider a drone strike an execution rather than combat?
"My Friday night was a disaster because Apple tricked me into renting an HD movie. I willingly wrote a watch that made me completely miserable. Why should you have to tell your watch when you're on a live TV set? Apple has a lot to learn from this random Indiegogo campaign that might ship a year from now. Here's a completely breathless article I wrote about it."

WTF am I reading?
I don't think it's a fair comparison, but I get your point. I am not saying the user should know to blame the advertiser instead of the publisher, I'm saying it really sucks that the publisher is the one getting thrown under the bus and blamed for what is the advertiser's fault and it sucks for us publishers.

The suggested solution to "figure it out" and "find other advertising networks" doesn't work because almost all of them do this shit.
Now that I'm used to keyboard navigation this seems so backwards
Why did Flash die?
We now only host ads we have sold direct.

Thank you. I turned off ad blocker for your site (one is still networked to the bad guys, though...)
Kernel memory on the platforms where ZFS runs is not subject to swap, so something else happened on that system. The code itself is currently somewhat bad at freeing memory efficiently due to the use of SLAB allocation. A single long lived object in each slab will keep it from being freed. That will change later this year with the ABD work that will switch ZFS from slab-based buffers to lists of pages.
Except half the country is not doing everything possible to bring every plane under their control. With the the other half trying to resit with little regard for the safety of the passengers. Security and transparency is far more important when humans are in conflict.

All airline seat selection pages I've ever seen show a map of the plane's seats, nobody needs a forum for that.
I love the Jetbrains editor, I just wish I could open random files in it, without it trying to organize them into "projects" or whatever.
I also consume a lot of free/ad supported content. I also don't feel bad about it. I suppose my point was that if a content creator feels that their content/product is worth charging for they should charge for it rather than trying to get a third party to pay for it.
Maybe there's a market there? An ad network content providers can trust.

Even well known news websites have ios app store redirects that stop content from being viewed.
