I built one in 2009 and I used it for about 4 years. My primary reason was: I wanted an OS with an "unix-like environment", but I also wanted to be able to run the Adobe Creative Suite natively (and fully color managed). Last but not least I needed a powerful machine with a dedicated GPU.

The alternative to a hack was a pimped out Mac Pro for about thrice the price. I figured it wasn't worth it, and I was right.

At work I was running a Mac Pro, at home I was running the hack. I had zero problems with the hack, but every point upgrade naturally meant a moment of prayer. I always did a full mirror of the system disk with dd before upgrading, but never had a problem.

If apple would allow hackintosh, then they would probably face competition from companies producing hackintosh laptops. It would be like rolex started allowing fake watches.

Recently built a Hackintosh. Unless you go out of your way to use non-recommended hardware you won't have driver issues. Been using it for 6 months, faster than my iMac and easily upgradable when I want to.

Unlike a lot of people I actually like MacOS. I just wish it wasn't tied down to apple hardware.
Great work!

One other suggestion: in the info displayed after answering a question, a link to the Postgres documentation for the relevant query would be nice.
That's a good point about modifying the page. It could probably be done but there are a LOT of edge cases in there that will be easy to overlook and it would become a constant source of security bugs.

edit: since content blockers in particular are so popular, it might even make sense for them to create a security-conscious content blocker specific API like Apple did
There's a working implementation here. I'm wrapping up cleanup + some unit tests before sending the PR.

Yes, in which hydrocarbons, mostly methane, which is a biproduct of fossil fuel production, (which either has to be used or released to the environment), is used for getting the Hydrogen. If it's used, CO2 is emitted, which is much better than releasing CH4 to the environment.
Has this hacker news post been flagged ? I can't see it on the first pages anymore.
To put that in perspective, the average journalist has to pass 1 maths class in college, which is the number of stars in our solar system.
I think the most interesting part of this news is that they took an image processing technique and applied it on this large of a scale. They're doing background extraction on the entire set of satellite data.

An example can be found here: http://opencvpython.blogspot.com/2012/07/background-extracti...
Reading something fast is one thing, but thinking about it, concluding and understand is a whole other area, which can easily take days or weeks or at least a night to sleep over.

When the topic isn't technical documentation.

I seriously don't believe much use comes out of ingesting as many letters as possible. People don't work that way, especially when it comes to self-improvement. Your thought-patterns are able to change fast, but your emotional patterns are not. Real intellectual and emotional growth takes it's time.

>A lot of extensions need that permission, even though they only need it to do something much more specific. Adblock uses it to read (but not transmit) your webpages, and remove sections. Password managers use it to scan (but not transmit) webpage content, and fill certain form fields.

Yes. But the user should be made aware of the consequence of their action. Do they realize that installing a password manager means granting access to all their data to a third party. Is this author reliable? What do other users think of the author? Has anyone reviewed the code for this? These are all questions potential users should ask.

>they can request semantic permissions instead of just "give me all your data and trust I don't do anything bad with it", which is bad and has already lead to issues in the past where a Chrome extension developer sells their extension which is then used to transmit malware.

A lot of things cannot be controlled either by review process or sandboxing. What if your extension has a web-component ( say your password manager backs up passwords to the cloud)? Mozilla cannot review your server code. A sandbox won't protect resources you have already given access to, but it will limit the damage done.

>The article is proposing finer grained permissions than Chrome.

I have reread the article and haven't found anything that backs this assertion.
Indeed the author seems to say : Mozilla vouches for me, so you trust me with all your stuff too. From article :

'Wouldn’t it be a better idea to keep doing that so that the installation prompt can simply say: “Hey, we made sure that this extension is doing what it says, want to install it?”'

Edit : I agree that some form of review is needed for extensions. Simple sandboxing alone is not enough. But article doesn't seem to support sandboxing.

The driver installation & building these now is infinitely easier since Clover became the default method of installation. When I built mine a year ago, I wouldnt have recommended it. BTW, I got iMessage working, and the process wasn't too shady :). Great tutorial! Also, think about switching to Clover ASAP, updates from the App Store work flawlessly.
I built a couple of different Hackintosh setups when I wanted to experiment with developing for iOS; a netbook specced similarly to the original Air, and a desktop roughly specced like a high end Mac Pro of the time with a 290 GPU. I have no desire to own a Mac, and don't like macOS, but it's the only way to develop for iOS. I also built a macOS VM in Virtualbox about a year ago to see if our server products were workable on macOS (they had been in the past, but a lot has changed, and none of us have Macs to test with).

It was never my primary environment and I eventually gave up on the projects. I generally find macOS unpleasant and incompatible with the way I think.

So, yeah, the appeal is that if you need to develop for macOS or iOS, and a Mac would be a ridiculous waste of money for someone like me (I don't want the OS, and while the hardware is pretty good, it has a very high Apple tax attached to it, and some other vendors make very good hardware these days). It's also kinda fun to thinker with weird stuff.
Please drop the conspiracionist tone if you want a serious conversation, or at the very least drop this silly attempt at sweeping very important arguments under the rug just to make your point. These "simple" things like Freedom of Speech, respect for the Rule of Law and Individual Rights are not is not "Western media thinking". It is the core basis of Western values themselves.

Also, you are moving the goal posts. I could go on for a while and give examples on how the Big Chinese Companies are actually bad for the people - e.g, one simple case: censorship in WeChat is worse than in FB and it is demanded by the Government - but my question was actually "How do they benefit 'most if not all' of the population?" I mean, how any of these "benefits" are any different that a FB user from any part of the world can't get on Facebook. Why is that WeChat is better than FB to "most if not all" Chinese by virtue of being closed?
That kind of registration sometimes works in the beginning but quickly becomes a mountain of irrelevant requirements and paperwork.
I don't know what speed reading course this man took, but the one I took in Spain forced you to answer detailed questions in order to evaluate the percentage of your comprehension.

Also, proper speed reading focuses on science and training.

About subvocalization, I couldn't care less if it disappears completely or not. The important thing is that you start training other parts of your brain to be associated with common words first as images. You certainly get a deeper understanding when you could understand words as images.

As someone who can program myself I can speed read extremely fast if I manipulate the text "on my own terms" with my own software. Something like spritz but reading more and more words at once, and using different colors for different things.

With training you can be extremely fast, in the same way with training you can do a backflip with a motorbike if you train:

You have to evaluate if it is worth the effort for you to get the skills. If you need to read a lot I believe it is.

The biggest problem I have is the convenience problem of having to violate copyright restrictions like cracking epub to remove DRM or OCRing books in order to access the content for my programs.

It is a convenience thing, yes I can read much faster, but I need to spend a lot of time breaking the DRM or correcting the OCR. It only makes sense with few specific texts.

Stephen Hawking: 'There is no heaven; it's a fairy story'
I don't see how this study is 'presuming' anything. The results section quite early explores the creation between genetic and non-genetic factors:

> To test whether intelligence mediates the observed association between family SES and children’s educational achievement, we statistically controlled for intelligence by regressing GCSE on intelligence and entering the resulting standardized residuals into the bivariate GCTA model with family SES. When controlling for variance explained by children’s intelligence, which yielded a univariate GCTA estimate of 0.38 (0.11 s.e.) (data not shown), the phenotypic correlation between family SES and children’s educational achievement was reduced from 0.50 to 0.37 (0.02 s.e.). The GCTA estimate of the genetic covariation between family SES and children’s educational achievement dropped from 0.25 (0.09 s.e.) to 0.17 (0.09 s.e.). Mirroring the mediation observed at the phenotypic level, this suggests that one-third of the SNPs tagging variation in family SES and children’s educational achievement also captured individual differences in intelligence, implying two-thirds of the SNPs linking family SES and children’s educational achievement were independent of intelligence.

The heritability of IQ and it's effect on SES is well document, but it obviously isn't the only relevant factor. I don't believe equality of outcome is feasible in this regard.

I'm trying to find out - is APL set of symbols looks justified today, even with Unicode capabilities?

If yes then Iverson created really well thought out set which stood the test of time and we can hope will continue to efficiently serve as a good notation - and might be may be extended. If not - then we have the question of what would be a good notation.

References to math notation, which developed over decades and centuries, are good - but sometimes look like not perfect. Iverson was trying to make it better - for example, put the notation in one line, get rid of operation priorities. Is that a success from today's point of view?
Fwiw the Debian & Ubuntu packages have disabled this behavior.
Thank you for highlighting the sexism built into the Portuguese language.
The i7-6700k is an utter waste of money, just get the non-K version. There is so little to be gained by overclocking a Skylake CPU, there's just no point. Overclocking Sandy Bridge CPUs made sense, the i7 2600k went from 3.4GHz to 5GHz often, 5.1GHz wasn't unheard of -- 50% gain in CPU frequency does translate to measurable and feelable (is that a word?) gain. But the i7-6700k can go to about 4.8GHz -- 20% tops but of course the CPU can turbo itself to 4.2GHz in many tasks so 14% typically. Now you are entering pointless territory, your real world gains will be vanishingly small.

An all-in-one liquid cooler will always be noisier than quality air cooling, for example the Noctua NH-D14. Especially in a great case like that. You'd need to build a very costly loop to have a quiet one and these days CPUs have dropped their TDP so much that there's absolutely no reason to liquid cool them. When you CrossFire/SLI and especially triple CF/SLI top video cards only then you need to begin to think because there's so little space between the cards for air to move. EKWB have special parts to help with watercooling such setups.
Monthly or Yearly? :)
Even if they copy the warnings verbatim, I’d like to at least suggest adapting some sort of icon set. Preferably with color coding: yellow for frequently requested permissions, red for infrequently requested permissions.

Anything really, that let’s you know at glance what you’re about to install, without having to read a bullet point list.

Colors are fine but unique icons would be even better. If it potentially affects user’s privacy anything but a scary looking big brother eye would be inappropriate.

See for example Facebook’s permission dialog from 2010: https://hyuz.files.wordpress.com/2010/04/gsh-1427.jpg

The article mentions that CWS’s users rely on reputation. That is 100% true. You basically have to go into at least the Review section to see if there are any ‘surprises’ included inside. There was a time you couldn’t install a mouse gesture extension without compromising your privacy.

The scary part is all your extensions are self-updating. If the author doesn’t change the permissions they can include a backdoor at any time.

I don’t suggest they review the extensions manually. Instead what I would like to see, personally, is just a simple setting to only show open source extensions.

At least with AMO it’s very simple to check the source of any extension you like. It’s right there on the extension’s page. Disabling automatic updates and reviewing the source code is something I’ve done in the past.

If you combine an easily accessible source and a comment section this alone will increase security by a significant margin.
Ignoring reality is the worst possible option. Regarding your assertion, judging an individual by their collective group average is wrong. I'm a big proponent of research in this area - because I want to change it. For e.g. Black Americans have an IQ, on average, 15 points lower than white Americans. I want more research on this area, so it can be improved. Calling people racists (without evidence) shuts down any meaningful conversation, and hurts those who need the most help.
I don't think that's true anymore, though it was historically. The sed currently shipped with both FreeBSD and OpenBSD supports -i, at least.
But that doesn't work as well, since for example on this page there is JS event tied to scrolling the page that moves the header with you. So you'd have to tie your own anti-move trigger to the same event, which might mean same script won't be universal. If you just remove the header with a script, you can still get to the navigation by refreshing the page.
Love it! Keep up the great work.

I wonder if the newly acquired Joyent people will get to work on making OpenZFS take much better advantage of the internal parallelism in these drives (as leaf vdevs) and these 2U boxes.
I think you'll find that birthrates are negatively correlated with education level, so globally the reverse is happening (with regards to your breeding theory).

But more generally, the reason why evolution works is because organisms are not equal (mutation and crossover are random). I don't expect that this will stop any time soon.
You'd think so, but I've seen a lot of websites that dump a sticky "social sidebar" on top of the content, and if it's absolutely positioned you can't read the stuff that it's stuck in front of.
This is a totally wrong perception of the universe we live in. The reality is that our knowledge of the universe is limited by the horizon of our perception.

In the years 1400 the existence of the american continents was not yet known because it simply was beyond the horizon of our planet exploration. These are huge continents with humans living on it that we ignored they existed but they existed. Today we know that dark matter [https://home.cern/about/physics/dark-matter] exist and that visible matter that is the only matter we studied until now accounts for only 5% of matter of the universe (current estimate). We currently don't know the nature and properties of dark matter. All we know is that it interacts with the gravitational force on visible matter and that is how we discovered its exitence. So, in theory, there is plenty of room in this unknown space that COULD support the existence of ghosts, spirits or whatever else.

We do have an extensive scientific model of the world in which we live, but it is still limited. What strikes me is that so few people seam aware of the horizon of our perception. I suspect it is due to our educative program that focus on transmitting things we know to students and forget to learn about the limit of our knowledge. This gives the false impression to young students that we nearly know everything and that there are only a few small black spots left.

The usefulness is if you see a deficiency in a student (or anyone) you can properly understand the reason for it.

When you understand the reason you have a chance at actually making things better.

I.e. use the data after seeing the performance of someone, rather than using it to predict their performance.
I believe in evolution. At least personally, I feel like I have evolved an increasing resistance to this garbage. Unfortunately, I also know that it will at best take a very long time before evolution reaches a critical mass. If not, email spam would have died long ago.
Really glad to hear that about multiple return values. In my mind multiple return values are a solution for the problem of "oh, we haven't invented pattern matching yet", and matching against tuples is soooo much cleaner and more consistent.
I agree, although I think 'Equality of process' is more accurate than 'opportunity'.
I'm not religious now, but grew up in an extremely religious (southern baptist) household. When I was young, my mother, family, and friends told me stories of demons and demonic possession -- and I was terrified. I sometimes prayed myself to sleep. As I grew older (into my teens), this fear was replaced with an unencouraged, autonomic disinterest in Christianity.

In short, my experiences have taught me that some people are not wired for religion. Perhaps some of those disinterested folk find it more advantageous to say "possessed by demons" than "not otherwise specified."
And Opera, which is based on Chromium: https://www.opera.com/computer/features/ad-blocker

Google’s not rushing to implement this for obvious reasons. They will most likely continue to push AMP and at some point decide to block “malicious ads” or whatever, so that in one move they can both cut out the competition (by being the de facto arbiter of acceptable ad technology) and make sure they don’t negatively affect their business.

It’s still a net positive for the user, at least in the short term.
Hey nosequel, can you recommend me succinct reading or ideally a great training program to follow for strength building with calisthenics? In my situation with my lifestyle of travel at the moment, access to gyms can be expensive and infrequent, and I like the athleticism and balance involved in calisthenics anyways.
Some desktop CPU's do support ECC

That said entry level Xeons are not that expensive an E3-1220 v5 costs 200$...

But if you are going for your machine it doesn't look like money is an issue.
But that said if you need that much computing power why even bother building a machine?
You can get used rackmount servers on the cheap these days, and if you live near a place that does foreclosure auctions you can get them ridiculously cheaply even if they are new in box.

Here is a server with 2 x 8 core CPU's and 192GB RAM for 1200$ and with B/O you can probably get it closer to 1000....

If you don't want to stick it in a closet then a 10-15U rack is also 100-150$.

And just remote to the server from anywhere you want....

However let's say the figure is 50%. Does the argument still follow? At what % would we inevitably be forced to pay attention? For instance, would anyone want to increase the chance of a violent encounter occurring in their workplace. Fortunately we can relax because these supposed assumptions currently belong in fairy land.

'Popularist'. Isn't it better to spell out what is meant here rather than use a word often by elites (self selected smaller powerful groups) to refer to any democratic decision of which the elite does not approve? It's one of those rolling stone expressions that saves its users time and effort by carrying with it a boat-load of subtext.
Here in Germany, we have something called "Gebührenordnung für (Tier)Ärzte" (fee catalogue for (veterinary) doctors).

Everything you can think of has a standardized pricing set, with the option to go up to 3.5x the standard rate for difficult procedures.

Kind of prevents that bullshit mentioned in the article; also, national health insurance covers nearly everything that's medically neccessary and deductibles are highly limited.
