Apple seems to have copied that model somewhat, make 30% on everything that's sold for iOS.

I guess they knew that eventually everyone would have a good enough iOS device and they'd have to reduce the cost of the device to compete.
How many borders is that not descriptive of though? The US border even fingerprints people now.

The closest I've come to not being treated like a criminal are borders in SEA where the agents only spoke a few words of English so they may have looked at me like I was a criminal but couldn't really say it in a way I would understand.
Subpixel hinting mode can be chosen by setting the right value in your environment, for example /etc/environment or ~/.pam_environment

Available settings:

FT2_SUBPIXEL_HINTING=0 # Classic mode (default in 2.6)
FT2_SUBPIXEL_HINTING=1 # Infinality mode
FT2_SUBPIXEL_HINTING=2 # Minimal mode (default in 2.7)
There's not really that much difference between AU and NZ, though it is weird to see that PNG requires a visa for AU, given that AU gives PNG a chunk of aid money.

Ask HN: What is the best monitor for people with failing eyesight?
My father's eyesight is failing but he would like to continue using the Internet.

When displaying text with a very large font on his current monitor the letters become fuzzy around the edges and the very little text is displayed. He must scroll horizontally and vertically which causes him to lose his place while reading.

Any suggestions would be helpful.

I think it's a pretty stupid word and I avoid having anything to do with it. It also tends to be overused as well as misused.
Yeah, it really depends. Powerful language features let you write code that is extremely clear since you can shape the language to your domain. It's not just for making obfuscated abstractions or code golf.

Since this topic comes up a lot, I'm often curious about what experiences people have with reading and writing Lisp code... My own experiences tell me that almost all code, in all languages, is difficult to read and understand—and I often long for Lisp-like features to help me make programs more clear.
Andy Hertzfeld sounds like a sore loser. Why should anyone care what he thinks about games? Macs suck for games and they always have.

It would only print "1"s.

The thing is that basic programs were not entered through a 2D text-editor per rather line per line. You would type "LIST" to re-read the whole program you typed so far, with the lines in the correct order. Then, you would enter a line starting with a number. It would overwrite any existing line with the same number.

Typically, a way to correct the program you wrote would be to type:

30

15 PRINT "2"

(replace the line 30 by an empty line, and insert a line number 15)
> "I hadn't considered "yearning", but I ran it by a few of my colleagues and tried to find examples in literature/movies/songs they might be familiar with. Granted, this might be their lack of intimacy with English, but they didn't feel that it quite captured the feeling that тоска is supposed to give. It could also just be them being stubborn, as is occasional to happen."

Thanks for trying. I suspect you may be right about the stubbornness. Competing on depth of feeling is an easy way to create a sense of distinction between us. In a similar way, the Koreans have a word, Han, that they have set out as describing something uniquely Korean, but from what I can see it's a catch-all term for the feelings that come along with oppression. If you want to highlight a deep sense of oppression not felt elsewhere, of course you're going to try to create a sense of uniqueness for your own word describing these things.

You're right, there isn't, at least not in this nicely quantified way. Anecdotally, I've been treated much nicer on my NZ passport than my Australian one, even to the same countries (especially France, which I found curious).
Perhaps the pursuit of ever higher gross domestic product misses a fundamental understanding of what makes most people tick. Against that backdrop, support for Mr. Trump and for the British withdrawal known as Brexit are just imperfect vehicles through which someone can yell, “Stop.”

Did the author communicate at all with Trump supporters and leave voters, or is this just speculation? The support given in the article seems pretty weak: an unrelated abstract experiment about efficiency versus equality and a reference to another newspaper article about a BMW worker.

I once travelled with a woman who had NL, UK, and US passports. She sounded British, identified as Dutch, and travelled on the US passport (she showed me all three). She travelled on the US passport because if you get into trouble, the US will tend to do the "no citizen left behind! rawr!" thing, whereas UK/NL will do the "well, you were pretty fucking stupid to get into that situation, then" thing... (her position, in my words :) )

Imagine that you're better than me at everything (both programming and needlework). You can program three times as fast, and sew twice as fast as I can. Does that mean you should do all your own programming and sewing? No.

However small my contribution, I can save you some time by doing some sewing for you. In that saved time, you can do more programming than I could have achieved in the time I spent sewing. So in sum we're better off. So, there are potential gains from trade.
I also remember seeing "Made in Macau" on the bottom of little toy cars I played with when I was a kid, as well as other cheap toys and things. Bit of a contrast to today where Macau is the Vegas of the east
This probably isn't the most valid use of Google's Ngram viewer, but it looks as if "Made in Japan" started taking off about 1980, "Made in Taiwan" slightly earlier, but on a lower trajectory, and "Made in China" really in 1993.

I have been experiencing similar injuries myself. After talking to several trainers and physiotherapists, I found out that the problem is my sedentary life style.

If you spend your entire day sitting in front of a desk, the muscles in your body becomes less flexible and weaker.
This effect is hard to reverse by exercising alone. (9 hours of sitting on a chair vs. 1 hour of exercise)

For a person who lives this kind of lifestyle , you need to have much longer warmups, do a lot of stretching (even on resting days and in the office), and most of all, try to change the sedentary lifestyle by working standing up / walking (walking desk) and stretch every few hours.

And a final comment, sitting on the couch all the is the worst thing you can do. Don't give up on exercise, even if it's just walking. (you'll be surprised how difficult a fast paced 10 mile walk can be!)
Purely as a member of the UK tech community, this comes as worrying news. We don't have that many world class technology players, at this sorry of level.

As someone who likes ARM though, I suspect this is a fairly good thing. SoftBank have bought other entities of late in similar spaces that are doing well.

Examples that I'm thinking of would be BetFair, Sprint Corporation, Upstream and Supercell. They've a history of good investment and ownership, and a fairly hands-off approach to managing the companies they own/have heavy investment in.

I'm not thrilled at ARM being owned now, but it's a good price and SoftBank are about as good as they'd be likely to get.
The entrenched elite can always legislate protectionist policy and scale human effort horizontally through socialist interventions to make humans cheaper than state-of-the-art AI. This is especially true in the long interim between now and holy grail breakthroughs in object recognition.

Charlatans and predators can always rally the surplus humans into being political forces to siphon off a percentage of productivity gain made by "good enough" AI.

As an autonomous labor theorist, I'm kept up at night often about what to do with the surplus humans. On one hand, hard AI problems can be augmented with remote assistance and intervention. (A cleaner bot discovers spray paint on a wall.. is it graffiti, an advertisement, or part of a mural? Better summon a human eye to make sure.)

On the other hand, "good enough" AI will allow total war scenarios to arise from the ashes as manufacturing millions of murder drones 1.) helps create employment for a nation and 2.) allows the extermination of the surplus for cheap. A human death squad takes about 16-18 years of investment to create. A "good enough" autonomous drone death squad takes about a week.

The most immediate gains of autonomous labor will allow expansion into domains that are currently too expensive to get a foothold in or scale into. These opportunities are where many of the remote assistance jobs will be created. (Deep mining, space construction, etc)

All eyes are on navigating the political climate until those price points are reached, which is why the cry for universal basic income is so tantalizing. Helicopter money on the plebs so they won't revolt and destabilize the global order that makes advanced robotic development possible. If they fail, then the attractiveness of cheap death squads to resolve the human surplus question will most certainly win.
> For economists, efficiency is simply that goods should be created where the surroundings are best suited for it - first described by David Ricardo in the 19th century. E.g. Cotton should be planted where there is the most fertile soil etc.

This seems slightly off to me. Cotton can be grown more efficiently (in the usual sense of less cost per unit return) in some climates than others. But the economy as a whole may be more efficient if cotton is grown exclusively in subpar-for-cotton areas; perhaps the ideal-for-cotton areas are needed for another crop.

As I understand it, "efficiency" in economics will refer to one of two ideas:

1. Small deadweight losses. The smaller they are, the more efficient the economy is.

2. Pareto efficiency. (That is, the economy is efficient, in this sense, if there is no reallocation of resources that makes somebody better off without making anyone worse off.)

Maybe it's just me, but I see this as a foolish move. ARM was better suited to being an independent company due to their licencing model. With the purchase by SoftBank now there's greater incentive for licensees to move away from ARM. I suspect we'll see much more investment in RISC-V as a result of this, which would be a good thing for most of us, but a less good thing for ARM.

There's are some multinational passports. There's the European Union laissez-passer.[1] This is issued to European Union officials who travel on EU business, and is accepted as a passport within the EU and by about 100 non-EU countries. There's also a United Nations laissez-passer, for UN officials.[2] That's not as widely accepted as the EU one.

We also use Clojure at work alongside Ruby, and I'm continually pleasantly surprised to find the benefits of using an immutable-by-default language. I like the functional programming aspects of programming in the large and small, but those advantages pale in comparison to the idea that data should be immutable except when absolutely necessary.

I dabble in Elixir in my spare time, and that language appears to yield similar benefits. Again, immutability is the key, not necessarily the functional focus. While immutability is more difficult to implement in OO languages, I would be curious to see what that looks like.
This reminds me about my time writing games in Basic on my calculator during math class. I suck at math because of this, but at least I'm an ok programmer.
>The difference between Rwanda and Uganda/Tanzania

I have had little opportunity to travel to other countries myself, but I imagine that infrastructure quality is something that sticks out almost immediately. If you do come to Kenya (Nairobi in particular), the 20 km journey from the airport to the city center peels away a lot about the country: the notoriously in-your-face drivers, the defiantly corrupt traffic police officers, and the unforgettably poignant stenches (along certain stretches of the road) to say nothing of the potholes.

>Little trash on the streets. Uganda/Tanzania are filthy filthy countries

I have heard people express the same sentiment about Rwanda and frankly, yet I cannot bring myself to picture it. You see, there is a lot of filth in Nairobi, so much so that the government spends millions (of shillings) trying to re-educate people. But things used to be a lot, lot worse. Up until 15 years ago, Nairobi's central business district was unimaginably littered, men urinated when and as they liked/pleased, street urchins filled the back alleys (with both their excrement and presence), and nobody seemed to care. A lot of these things still happen to this day. But it is in the 'suburbs' that things are really out of hand. Recently, Madonna shared a picture that, in essence, summarizes the state of Kenya's 'suburbia' [https://www.instagram.com/p/BHZ6gW6h-95/?taken-by=madonna]. That picture is not an outlier, and I can personally confirm that this is the case in many places, including places that I frequent regularly. Kenya too has many such filthy places. This is not an elitist view, just the sad truth.

>genocide museum

I do not know how I would react in such a place. I abhor violence and would probably come away from the experience deeply traumatized. It is a complete shock that humanity is capable of such heinous crimes. What is even more shocking is that these sort of crimes never stop: every human generation has lived through similar genocidal events: Genocides in history [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genocides_in_history]; Genocide of indigenous peoples [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genocide_of_indigenous_peoples... Category:Lists of massacres by country [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Lists_of_massacres_by... List of events named massacres [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_events_named_massacres].

They bought Sprint before. It's costing them an ARM and a leg.
Apple completely design their own chips. The real mystery is why Apple stuck with the ARM architecture when they switched to 64 bit (since aarch64 is a brand new design). My guess is because they still had to license the 32 bit architecture for compatibility, and because the amount that Apple pays to ARM each year for the license is peanuts.

hey Steve,

Use a very large screen and put it further away (TV sized).

That should help, I use the same trick (I'm at +3 now, in only a very few years from not wearing glasses at all).

You can go to a TV store with your dad and a laptop, plug it in and see if it works for him without shelling out $.

32" or even 40" at 1920x1080 at 4' or 6' would be good options to try. Philips has some cheap 4K screens that may be worth trying as well.

Unlikely. If you look at the age breakdown of the vote, millenials and other assorted youngsters voted overwhelmingly for "Remain", while the older cohort voted for "Leave".
If you look at a map showing the breakdown of referendum voting by district you will find that Scotland, London and University towns together with many larger cities voted to remain. Areas of the country that depend most heavily on EU grants (ESF/ERDF) voted to leave. Grant allocation is a reliable indicator of relative lack of investment/development.

I don't want to defend Windows' font rendering, because I hate it too, but (as far as I understand) the core idea behind these changes is good.

Also, a lot of fonts are designed for Windows' style of hinting.
