That's another thing good about them. They were stylish. Not many were back then.

Another feature I liked was two motherboards. I didn't get to buy one but I figured you could theoretically get extra reliability out of it.
Don't do it. Buy a refurb 2012 Mac Pro from OWC/MacOfAllTrades/wherever and upgrade the ram and SSD yourself.
Look at the T and X series. Unless you are buying the very high end with discrete GPUs, they all have Intel.
> I'm not convinced that kids learn lessons like these better when it's spelled out for them.

Exactly.

Yes there is a time to spell things out, but by and large, kids learn by emulation. That's why the cliché "do as I say, not what I do" fails.

And more generally, that applies to adults as well. Most of us pick up more knowledge and life lessons from those who live it, than from explicit teaching. Sure a dump of information is good here and there at various stages of the mastery process, but that's a minority in the journey.
At my work we still run all our own iron. Many classes if applications will continue to be way too complex to run entirely on a mobile device. Web assembly will enable things like blender3d, Photoshop and ableton live to run within a browser it's not going to entirely wipe out the back end rather the desktop and local applications will go away.
It's voluntary. We're all salary and a portion of our bonus is based on hours worked. When I did the occasional 100 hour week (also voluntary; I work on fun stuff) and forgot to log my hours, I would get credit for it, but there wasn't a direct metric for compensation.

We started adding in other employees in multiple departments cause they liked it better than manually tracking.
Why don't they return 00.000000,00.000000 or the GPS position for the North Pole instead? Would be a lot less confusing that the data was void.
> At some point cars are so old and worn down that you're going to have to replace something every few months, and the maintenance costs explode – sure, you can completely refurbish the car, if you want to, but that's easily in the magnitude of a new car.

I half agree. You are correct that cars will eventually wear out, but not in 150,000 miles. Most cars today can go over 300,000 miles with basic maintenance.

The original post stated the car needed $3000 work of work, which seems reasonable. If he had put that money into the car that repair would be good for another 150,000 miles - before he does it again. Now we have to assume another $3,000 (number pulled out of me head, but it seems reasonable) in other maintenance alone the way. So for $6,000 more he could have a car with 300,000 miles on it.

What did the new car cost? If we assume that he got the full $4,000 value on trade in (seems unlikely, but dealers often will not consider overdue maintenance in trade in value) plus the $3,000 he needed to pay, plus the $3,000 that the old car would need in maintenance, minus $1,000 for maintenance on the new car we can suggest that $10,000 comes off that price.

Did he make a bad decision? You need to decide which of my numbers above are valid before you can answer it. It is quite likely that buying a used off-lease car with 30,000 miles on it and trading it in after 100,000 miles is probably the cheapest option in the current market.

BTW, the dealer taking the trade-in above is not stupid. He isn't going to fix the car. He is going to ship it to Mexico, sell it for $4,200 with the note that it needs some work done. The buyer in Mexico has just saved up $4,500 for a car (this took a while) and he will do the work himself. (Even if he paid someone to do the work the cost would be much less than our $3,000 figure above)
We have started d5Gravity to solve small problems faced by startups everyday. We all have wonderful startups but we fall short on ‘what to write for our next blog post’ so in order to solve this problem we have made BlogOwl that emails creative and simple blog post ideas every 3 days. Each email contains blog idea, title and content suggestions along with some inspirational blog links that others have written on the same topic.
We also believe in the concept of ‘Eating your own dog food’, hence we have started writing on our Medium blog (https://medium.com/d5gravity) using the same ideas which we suggests others.
If you think its valuable please signup and let me know if you have any suggestions and ideas to improve the product.
Haha, yes Purno de Purno was fun, never knew what the big Clit was until very much later of course. Don't think it damaged me at all. I think taboos damage kids. I think in the American system, where sex is a big taboo and you end up with 15 y/olds going for Netflix and chill where the girl was never told that sex is something to enjoy and how to enjoy it, she sees a lot of Nicky Minaj ("My Anaconda don't..."), and the boy is self educated by porn, is much sicker than such cartoons. I recently listened to a podcast on this topic [0]. Sex is not something to be ignored with children as it is such a big part of adult life.

1. If you intend to move back at some point, it doesn’t matter. Say you generate €75-100k a year from that million in the future, you’ll be paying 25k a year in taxes anyway. The more capital you have, the more you can generate, hence the more tax you can pay in the future. Pay 333k now vs 25k a year over the next 50 years. But building that first €500k-1m is hard, imo.

2. Always give back. For example, I gift €X,000 every year to local good causes. Yep, I get a 45% tax deduction for it, but I also use it as a way to give back. You’re not going to spend one euro to save 45 cents in tax, if it's not something you believe in.

You can also give back by investing in Finnish companies.

3. If you’re interested in Belgium (low cost of living, high quality of life, free health insurance, relaxed society, high taxes but not on capital), I can intro you to my tax lawyer. He’s awesome.
It depends on what you need it for. For me, 5K screen and a very fast graphics card are important. Top of the line iMac is the only Mac that works with Oculus Rift.

But if you're only looking to do web development, for example, Mini should be fine.

Ask HN: Should I Not Be Sad About White-Labeling My Product to a Fortune-50?
Some context: I started a company over a year ago and having been busting my ass (along with my team of course!) to build and sell. I'm not the CEO, because I absolutely hate meetings. Along the way, a fortune 50 company came to us and after a series of meetings our CEO decided it would be best to white label to them. This company is absolutely stoked and is promising to turn this into a billion dollar a year revenue stream over the next 5-6 years. Seems good, right?

Wrong. With this deal comes the inability to sell to anyone else. We also are not allowed to place our logo on the product anymore. Essentially, our company disappears in the eyes of the public, only to exist to serve this larger company. They have already begun dictating features and designs of the product since they will now be taking "ownership" of it worldwide.

From a business POV, I know this is a smart idea because it gives my company the leverage it needs to break into the global market and actually compete. From an entrepreneurs POV, I'm fucking sad. Our vision, our brand, our name...all gone. I feel like we sold out. But I can't say no, because I'd be an idiot to say no to this deal.

Anyone else have experience in this area? Can anyone else relate?
The LK inner construct is ~15KB. I don't think you could use Rust's safety features and get that size for the LK portion. Maybe the Magenta portion of it though.

"Magenta has a capability-based security model. In LK all code is trusted."

Pony lang is a PL using capability-based concepts too.

I still haven't seen any modern-day cases that look nearly as beautiful as SGI's designs.

Even simple desktops like the Indigo2 had style, and then you had oddball-looking beasts like the Tezro that really pushed the boundaries of what you can do with a computer case.

I miss SGI. The real SGI, that is.
Likewise! I learned Iris GL on an SGI, back in the day. I thought SGI had been ground to a fine powder and snorted by Larry Ellison, but it turns out that's not the case.
I don't think the author and editor of that headline wants the wording to be taken literally, believing it to be supernatural and outside the realm of causality.

Instead, what they're trying to drum up attention for in the headline is that it can be explained, but only by the activity of a previously. unknown force, astronomical phenomenon, planet, or other new and interesting potential discovery. Such as aliens.

The headline should read "... is unlikely to be caused by existing models and behavioral simulations of the solar system", but that's less likely to get clicks.

That, or "Discovery of A New Retrograde Trans-Neptunian Object: Hint of A Common Orbital Plane for Low Semi-Major Axis, High Inclination TNOs and Centaurs", which is the title of the backing paper.

The heat map is the baseline data model; from that it's possible to derive simpler models for simpler use cases. However, providing access to the baseline model will likely be useful for some use cases. i.e. if you want something more nuanced than lat/long.

While I agree with you that years ago (>3) a Hackintosh wouldn't be a wise choice to go for a productive environment, a LOT has changed. I am running mine since 2 years now and am on the newest Mac OS version, most of the time the App Store updates work flawlessly (even though it's not recommended), alternatively you could just go for a small SSD, put everything else on another SSD and/or HDD and you can reinstall the SSD with the newest version which shouldn't take longer than 15-30 minutes. I am not doing that, I am just saying it would be a choice. I completely reinstalled my Hackintosh only once in those 2 years and that was from Yosemite to El Cap.

Sleep isn't a problem anymore if you buy the correct hardware, the question is also why you even would want to use sleep when it's booting within some seconds anyways...

In the beginning, like with the first setup, it probably takes some hours, you should probably even calculate a day to set it up like you want it. But in the end I probably saved 2k EUR going the Hackintosh route and don't regret it at all. I don't even notice it's a Hackintosh anymore...
There's a good general (mathematical) sense to what something "infinite" is: a thing able to contain something the same size as itself.

As an example, the natural numbers are infinite because they contain the even numbers and the even numbers are the same "size" (or cardinality) as the natural numbers themselves.

As a second example, the real numbers are infinite because they contain the interval (-1, 1), which has the same "size" as all of the real numbers.

Is it really very difficult to get nVidia GPUs working with linux?

I wanted to buy a laptop with a GPU for CUDA experiments.

I was looking at Lenovo Yoga 710 (14 inch with nvidia gpu). Am I going to have a bad time dual booting a linux distribution?
What do you think about a browser plugin that runs arbitrary .exe code via a plugin? It would have to be sandboxed, of course, but it would give you all of the benefits of a browser distribution model without having to deal with the DOM.

Those jobs are impossible without a very high inequality. In the first world, there is a much smaller gap between the average wage and the minimum allowed wage than in India, making impossible many jobs that are time intensive with low revenue.

An engineer can have a cook and a driver if they make ten times as much as a cook or a driver; this arrangement doesn't really work if a typical engineer makes e.g. two or three times as much.

Yes, there would be a larger total demand for labor if we allowed the price to drop below that. But we don't. As we cut off the market to allow only transactions above the "livable wage" price floor, then at that price level we have a surplus of labor supply and a lack of demand.
The set of all humans is produceable, you simply bound by the planet, or solar system.

There are no bounds in the universe that can contain all the real or natural numbers.
Yes, we can only wonder what amount of value programmers could capture if they had any more leverage at the wage negotiation table. Given that the stereotypical engineer is half-ashamed to ask for a raise and is half-embarrased to admit he gets paid I can only imagine the current wage levels - although driven by supply and demand in programmers favour - are breadcrumbs when compared to the true value generated.
Do any of those return true if you use double equals? The distinction only really comes up when you have to different types on either side and then It will coerce one of the types to match the other.
> I've worked at RHT and based on the turnaround, it's the guy that writes codes for the card reader. I'm still impressed but not surprised by the level of service he got. Red Hat has a great hacker culture.
I second JoshTriplett, thinkpad usually have great linux compat. right out of the box. I usually only get laptops without discreet GPU, but it seems that discreet GPUs (both amd and nvidia) are the sources of most trouble when switching to linux.

> If I could order a laptop direct from Red Hat I'd do it without hesitation.

Dell xps dev edition is the closest thing to that right now. but i definitely agree, it would be awesome to have a linux equivalent of the surface pro made by either redhat or canonical.

I'm sorry you had a lousy time at Amazon, but that's not really what I was talking about, I was talking about the state of Seattle internet access. I read it all the time on the internet, in various message forums. From what I've read, in many places in Seattle (the city, not surrounding municipalities), there simply is no high-speed internet because Comcast doesn't feel like building it, and the city council doesn't feel like doing anything to force them to. It's basically a big joke and a huge irony because Seattle is a tech hub with Amazon and Microsoft there as well as a bunch of other tech companies.

As for your situation, I'd encourage you to get out there and look for a new job ASAP. I've had a bunch of different jobs in my career and for me it was actually pretty refreshing starting a new job somewhere. Of course, after a while the grim reality would set in about how this place wasn't that great (usually it was something in the job that changed, such as new management), but for a while they'd usually be pretty fun since their expectations of a new-hire are pretty low, and some jobs actually were pretty good all around. Don't just sit around and stew about your last job; get out there and get a new one and you'll forget about that last horrible one before long. Also, the longer you stay unemployed the harder it'll be to get a new gig, so don't wait.
Devs that don't think about the environment their code runs in are bad devs. Sadly, this group seems to be large.
Mondo becomes the latest UK digital bank to gain a licence
Clive Robinson on Schneier's blog came up with a thorough notion years ago: energy leaks plus "energy gapping" systems. He said if any form of energy or matter could transfer from one system toward anothet device then it should be considered a potential leak. So, you have to physically isolate them then block the whole spectrum practically.

Each new story supports his model. Energy gapping for the win.

Helicopters are extremely weight limited. In order to allow for any sort of useful payload, all of the airframe parts have to be designed for a specific model (or range of very similar models). The shapes and mechanical properties needed aren't well suited to highly automated mass production.

Hey guys. Phonsole is an app that allows you to view console output from your PC on your phone or tablet. This lets you use your phone as a wireless secondary monitor just for console output, without the extra CPU and battery usage of something like duet display.

I've found it very useful for displaying output from gulp/grunt watch tasks when I'm on my laptop, and I'm sure there are lots of other uses for it as well (e.g. monitoring a command running on a server).

The app's written almost entirely in clojure/clojurescript, and is completely open source (links to the github repos below). If you find a bug, or have a feature request, please either reply here or make an issue on github. All PRs are welcome. Also, if anyone can think of a better name than phonsole I'd appreciate it :P.

Interesting. I would have thought that the server would have sent a reset when it received a SYN on a CLOSE_WAIT socket, not ignored it.
If you prefer to approach it from a full understanding of the fundamentals, like how jQuery instructions get translated to result in the browser, it's going to take a very long time. People go to university for four years and many don't understand fully.

On the other hand, if you can ignore your tendency to understand things and limit your scope to shallow understanding of the top 1 or 2 tiers of the stack, then you can learn enough to be useful within a short amount of time.

I don't really have a problem with our kids having some screen time (without commercials, because it's so easy now), but we had to drop Youtube Kids because of this very reason as well.

Amazing that Google thinks that unboxing videos of products paid by the companies to the "entertainers" is good content for developing minds. I was under the assumption that app was curated, but it must not be.

Amazon's Freetime Unlimited with a Kindle and a soft case has been the best setup so far. Lots of educational stuff from PBS, but they can also mix in the Pokemon or super hero cartoons.

Surprisingly (or not), the kids sort of gravitate towards the more educational PBS shows.

Well, isn't there an option to just do that also on reboot?
From another article on this topic: "Many tech workers start out in San Francisco to boost salary and establish themselves before moving to more affordable markets." This is a key insight. Moving to the San Francisco Bay Area to establish a career is the industry equivalent of earning a Ph.D. at a major research university.

In this sense, the entire SF Bay Area is essentially a huge college town. It's perfectly normal for a college graduate to pick up and move elsewhere to start a family and live in a more affordable place. This is what Kate Downing and many others are doing.
The Mini hasn't been updated in 2 years, and was already slow on release. For normal users it's the better option, but if you're a developer and need to actually get something done, a hackintosh is a very attractive alternative to $4k or more for a similarly beefy iMac / Mac Pro.
In that case they'd be getting sued by various police agencies who have wasted money on arctic trips, as well as the survivors of various officers who were eaten by polar bears.
when you toggle between inputs for the monitor, are you using the buttons or some software? Also how are you connecting the mouse/keyboard? I have 3 monitors, and would like to toggle all 3 from MBP and my desktop.. currently I just use one monitor for MBP and other 2 for desktop.

In most open source projects, contributing refers to contributing code not opening tickets for issues or requests. Even Github's help documents align with this understanding:

I have never used uBlock or looked at its project pages before now and would have skipped-past CONTRIBUTING.md if I was looking for issue-reporting guidelines.

This is an interesting hypothesis - a culturally imposed minimum wage. I'm a bit suspicious because I don't see much evidence of a floor. For example, people seem quite willing to hire Mexicans outside home depo for relatively low wages.
