Yeah, I know some people can't deal with milk, which is why I pointed out some alternatives.

What I'm trying to say is that you can have a pretty well rounded, convenient to find/prepare diet for less money per day than a single fast food meal. I think the real problem with the American diet is not cost, it is that our culture surrounding food is driven by the companies who sell food, rather than a collective desire to establish a healthy, inexpensive, and convenient diet.
It is, it just isn't widely distributed. BHP and Rio Tinto operate automated trains in large areas of Australia.
Find something that seems challenging and maybe a little scary. Maybe that means getting away from development somehow and picking up a complementary skill. You've already seen a lot of aspects of development, but in the larger picture any development job is just one segment of how a business operates. As long as you feel like you're really changing and not just staying in your comfort zone you'll feel alive.

Edit: And try making it more than just a cursory whim. Write up a whole document of what you do and how you plan to do it, as if someone else had to approve it. That really tests your resolve up front.

There is no truth to this whatsoever. Totally false. I'm a Paramedic, and I still see people claiming this. Sorry, but if you call 911 because you tripped over a rug and your ankle hurts, it's likely that you're going to get wheeled right through the ER and out into the waiting room.

Free Trade is the problem.

The developed countries must impose 50% or higher tariffs on imported goods, services and intellectual property to protect their workers.

The USA enjoyed very high growth rates in the 1800s.

When economists get around to simulating the economy via agent based modelling of every decision making financial entity, akin to how weather is forecasted in voxels, then Free Trade will be revealed as the root cause of the slow growth rate of the developed countries.
Cost / Benefit ratios are a big part of economics. Historically the computer market has been a bit special because the payoffs of new technology were huge and simultaneously the cost of new technology sharply and steadily declined.

If Apple's customers are not still seeing those big payoffs from new technology then it becomes a game of costs. Changing a product mix every few years has its own costs - as demand for new PCs drops, these costs become harder to justify for an OEM.

It is totally possible that a 5- or 10- year refresh cycle keeps engineering and support costs down enough to be worthwhile if consumers accept the technology meets their needs. New technology will still make it to the end user here, but Apple is not going to do it at any cost - they are masters of profitability.
I believe OP means a WYSIWYG editor is much better than Markdown.

In terms of a markup language in pure text, I think Markdown is your best bet. Folks in CommonMark.org tries to "standardize" Markdown. Our implementation in Twincl.com follows that standard as much as we can.

One-word summary: grit
The 80s weren't a strong period for investment, they were a strong period of deficit defense spending and tax cuts, which were stimulative. When that became unsustainable, the bottom dropped out of the economy. The history of the presidency since Reagan has been continuous giveaways to the wealthy financed by credit taken out by the middle class on phantom assets that vanish into thin air as the president exits. The way the Reagan era was different was that the asset was American world hegemony as a hedge against the eternal threat of Russia (which collapsed partially because it couldn't spend as fast as we could in Afghanistan.)

(Also, according to every graph on the page you linked, the incomes of the top 5% started their climb in 1981, dipped in 1989, recovered to the 1981 trend in 1993, and maintained it steadily until 2001. I don't know how you're reading that differently. After 2001, even the incomes of the top 5% are stagnant, and the important groups become the top 1% and the top 0.1%.)
I am also missing on the irony here. Could you, please, elaborate?

This is 100% untrue. 99.9% of the population has no idea who Sundar Pichai is. There are absolutely no billboards or advertisements about him.
That's what I'm afraid of... this guy, if this story is true, is very lucky that he was near a hospital that could take care of him.

If he was having a serious cardiac issue, who's to know if the ER that he pulls into has a cardiac cath lab or really, anything above suturing and simple obstetrics services.
Different hospitals have different capabilities. That's what worries me about this whole thing.

We've had stories here about people thinking their friend was having a heart attack, so they were speeding down the highway at twice the speed limit to try to get to a hospital. What the driver didn't know was that he had passed up two different ERs with higher levels of care than the hospital he was speeding to.

I still prefer people pull over and call 911.

> If the idea behind UBI is that people don't need to go work, and won't go buy McDonalds anymore, then tax income is going to plummet.

The idea is that people don't need to go work, because robots do all the work, and thus any economic value attached to labor, either real or nominal, converges to zero. It doesn't matter whether people have financial incentives to do work, because people /do no work/. You don't tax labor income to finance UBI, because nobody will have labor income; all taxes will be on capital of some sort, such as land or securities, and such taxes would be sustainable because all income will accrue to capital and none to labor.

It's always worth learning something new. I don't mean to sound like a dick when I say that, but it's true; build yourself a little API in Go with the help of https://gobyexample.com and see if it's right for you. We really cannot tell you if it will be worth your salt for your particular project. Structure your application in a manner that if you decide to throw it out and replace it with C# tomorrow, your client won't know the difference.

In my case, I really enjoy Go, but certainly not all the time. It has its place. You may find either that it's the best thing ever, or that you cannot stand how it does X, and Python does it so much better. Some comparisons are objective, but the things that make or break it for you may be subjective.
Don't think that's true. I'm in southeast asia and the largest chinese language groups in the following countries are:

Singapore: Hokkien

Indonesia: Teochew

Philippines: Hokkien

Malaysia: Hokkien (although cantonese popular there)

Thailand: Teochew

Teochew and Hokkien are actually part of the min-nan dialect group which also includes Taiwanese.
A taxi costs money and I doubt they'd take on that liability. Not all friends are ready to drop things on a hat. But...those are possible, cheaper options but not as cheap as free with purchase of a car, which was my point.
Apple's stuff is still expensive. Putting new components and building newer models will surely raise costs, and prices, which may be something Apple realizes isn't feasible with their target market. I'm a developer/designer and I still had a hard time plopping down what I did for my MBP.

Just in case, note that it is not against "TLS Everywhere", just against the separation of http: and https: schemes in the URI. TBL essentially argues that http: should upgrade to TLS without any change in the URI (I think that this also implies that, when TLS deployment is finally universal, http: should equal to today's https:).
My understanding is that working on more positive self-talk can be an effective component of therapy for self esteem issues. You can't control how you feel, or what you think about yourself but talking is an action that can be controlled, and it can reinforce both positive and negative patterns of thought and behaviour.

To be clear, I am not an expert so this is only my limited understanding of the concept.

Piketty is one of the rare to actually pinpoint the problem and call it like it is. This NY Times article definitely does not, even if has some of the elements. Even early on it writes: "This trend helps explain why incomes have risen so slowly since the turn of the century". Maybe it is the other way around. I mean, if our economy is based on increasing production for the sake of increasing production, so by the same vain consumption needs to keep up, but then people can't afford consuming, or whatever they are consuming wasn't the result of value addition.

Then there is the CBO farce, and the use and abuse of GDP, and also believing to know what other people actually wants to buy, while also omitting to include what is it that 81% of the people with declining income can buy.
You're right. What H1-Bs do though is allow companies to replace a worker with full mobility and bargaining power (a US citizen) with one who has limited mobility and bargaining power, which drives down industry wages. Now, if the visa were attached to the person but not the company and were valid as long as the holder has a job, this would be much less of an issue.

Give immigrants the same bargaining power a citizen has and both would benefit.
In theory, the government should be more transparent.

I actually just finished "Fermat's Last Enigma" after reading "The Code Book" 2 years ago.

He's an excellent author who begins all of his books with the premise that the lay person will be reading it. He even makes this explicit in Fermat's Last Enigma.

He gives the reader an amazing depth of knowledge by gradually building on very simple examples and explanations which still can intrigued someone with deep technical knowledge.

Coming into "Fermat's Last Enigma", I had two years of higher level math, number theory, discrete math, and linear algebra. I still learned so much about Mathematics, the progress of the field, and proofs of simple things like Pythagorean triples.

Sorry I didn't offer additional clarity. Parallelism generally implies a task that can be split into smaller chunks, which are then processed more or less simultaneously. Concurrency, by contrast, refers to a situation in which multiple executions of the same task can occur concurrently. I think it's important to get that right when talking about dist. systems simply to avoid potential confusion.
Is there anyone who thinks people in another country understand the situation better than the people who live there?
The Book of the New Sun by Gene Wolfe.

My favorite sci-fi story, I might even admit it is my favorite of all stories. I've given it as a real book but the experience really benefits from the e-reader format because, at least for me, there were many terms to look up and many sections that I wanted to notate for consideration later. It's a challenging book but a very thoughtful and rewarding read. Highly recommended.

I upgraded my friend's 2008 13" MBP from an HDD and 2GB RAM to SSD + 4GB. It went from trash to adequate for everyday use.

I think an Ivy Bridge laptop would still be OK now with some upgrades. It would be hot and have bad battery life compared to Haswell, which was a big upgrade. I still think you would be crazy to spend 1000+ on such an old computer though.

TBH my next computer won't be an Apple laptop unless the next iteration is truly something special. They have gotten too expensive here in Japan.

Show HN: A place for makers to plan, organize, and share their DIY projects
Being classified as a "superpower" is a term in political science that means the country has the ability to project unparalleled influence on a global scale.

Don't let the prominence of discussions of China's "rise" fool you though, it is most certainly not a superpower. It certainly has the capacity to be one some day, but its power projection capability is fairly restricted to its immediate vicinity in East Asia still.
Meditations is a book I come back to over and over: http://classics.mit.edu/Antoninus/meditations.mb.txt
That's fair, but anything outside of SE Asia is predominantly Cantonese, hence why Westerners are familiar with it.

There's also the fact that the HK film industry was fairly dominant for a couple of decades--if a Westerner saw a Chinese-language film before the 90s, it almost certainly had Cantonese in it.
True but I bet it lasts us until either 1) after my lifetime or 2) we can redirect our efforts to supporting large numbers of people on other worlds or the terraforming necessary to start that process.
Estimake is a place where makers go to plan, organize, and share their DIY projects with fellow makers. It has a Pinterest interface but acts more like a personal project management tool for DIY projects.

The materials section in “Create Project” is linked to various retailers to help project creators search and buy what they need. This also helps the next person to easily locate materials for that project. Example --> http://www.estimake.co/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/Material-s...

As a maker, would you find Estimake useful as a place to manage your DIY projects and share them with fellow makers? Look forward to hearing your feedback.

Some websites break if you try to access https:// - from my experience of using Https Everywhere.

It's a simple fix to whitelist the one website though. It doesn't break the Internet. It breaks sometimes, for some users, and is trivially fixable when it does break.

"Fundamentally breaking the internet", to me, is something that actually breaks the usability of the internet in a non-trivial-to-fix way for the end user where the end user isn't even in control of the fix. That's breaking the web.

Failing to support IE5 is "breaking the web" in the same way Https Everywhere breaks the web. In a way that is to be fixed on the user-end.

(Although sites that fail to serve over https:// should fix their site)
If you set HTTP Strict Transport Security (which any site that believes it will continue to competently run SSL can and should do), it will implicitly upgrade all http:// URLs to https://, accomplishing the goal requested in this article without the security risks of optional/opportunistic encryption.

I agree entirely with everything on this list. Thankfully, there is a modern solution!

Buy the PC of your dreams, install Windows 10 on it, then install VMWare Workstation. Put the linux distro of your choice in vmware, enjoy! Everything will just work, consistently, elegantly, and without hassle.

Play your games with Steam in Windows of course, and thanks to Windows handling all the drivers, you can enjoy issue-less plug-and-play with USB and everything else. Merely install the apps that only work in Windows.... in Windows, and keep the rest of the dev-work in the linux VM.

The only caveat I can think of, is that you don't get 2d GPU hardware acceleration, vmware will accelerate 3d, but not 2d for say, compiz. I usually turn off these random 2D type effects so I don't notice that. Virtualbox is an option of course, but it still doesn't feel solid enough to me. At some point Hyper-V will have enough GPU acceleration with vmconnect that Windows 10 Pro + Hyper-V will be plenty (I know it has RemoteX acceleration now, but afaik that's only for Windows Server...).

I've loved this solution so much, I actually copied my VM over to my Retina MacBook Pro so I can use the linux VM for development work on the go. OSX handles ensuring the wifi always works, and the VM sees it as a reliable hardwired connection, no issues.

After 15 years of being a hardcore OSX/Apple user(fanboi), I cannot be more happy with the past 18 months since switching to this configuration. Cheaper than the Apple ecosystem, and waaaay faster hardware.
I have a laptop for programming but otherwise I do pretty much everything else either on my phone or occasionally my iPad. The phone has the advantage of always being in my pocket so as soon as I think of something I can take out my phone and do it, without having to wait to get back to my laptop.

Well, this is old newspaper. The Science Wars were a product of the post-'60s worldview, in which good-natives-versus-wicked-colonisers was more or less the overarching theme and rationality was suspect; they quickly died the death in the revised, post-9/11 master narrative of Enlightenment-versus-superstitious-darkness, which wasn't fertile ground for even modest and non-radical skepticism about The Science. A classic document of this is the "Why Has Critique Run out of Steam?" paper, in which Bruno Latour scrambles to get with the just-modified program: note the 2003/4 date. http://www.bruno-latour.fr/sites/default/files/89-CRITICAL-I... Of course we'll have to see how things develop in future, now that the post-2001 frame of reference is already fading in people's minds.
Not therapist either, have seen this first hand a couple of times.

CBT is what I remember talking a lot about in school. Although, I wonder if it's more effective for situational behaviors (being on an airplane, sleep, etc) rather than emotional state as part of one's existence. He seems to employ CBT like behaviors in what he does though, which seems to work for him.

I do agree with your observations. My only criticism is that most people probably don't experience what the author does on a day to day basis. It can be trivializing a real problem in mental health to say that it does.
