Are we now comparing brick and mortar retailers to car dealerships and restaurants?
A curated wine list is an expert "advice" I don't expect the guy at the sports store to have tested every running shoe on display when I ask for recommendations.

Car dealerships that sell used cars are effectively responsible for them they not only test drive each car but they do a complete checkup because it's mandated.

As for mobile stores they don't do that to ensure that the phone is working, they do that because they assume most people are too stupid to activate the sim which means they'll come back, and they do a contact/data migration again as a service it has nothing to do with ensuring that the product works.

I can step in buy a packaged PAG phone pay and walk out without anyone testing that it works and you very well know this.

There is no gross oversimplification the truth of the matter is that like it or not 99% of the products you buy of the shelf are never tested by any retailer that stocks them, are there exceptions? sure but these are again exceptions.

I don't expect Gamestop to do curation for me, I don't expect Humble Bundle to do it either.

Not to mention that again every game on that list as far as I can tell runs on Linux (including games that he said do not) he doesn't recommend almost any of those games but that's his opinion.
Humble does not sell you an experience, it does tell you that the game will run the fact that he tried to run games on a system that does not meet the minimum requirements which are stated on both the Humble Store, the Steam product page and the vendor website is well his fault.
And Humble never argued that playing the game on Linux or even installing it will be an easy, pleasant or consistent experience, no Linux experience is truly easy or consistent the ecosystem is fragmented to hell as for pleasant well that's a subjective opinion some people like to have to recompile the kernel to make their wifi cards work some don't.

When you buy software there are 2 general expectation 1) is that you have a system that meets the software and hardware requirements and 2) that you are generally capable of operating and managing software on the operating system it runs on.
He failed to verify point #1 on quite a few titles, infact I am surprised that some titles that should not work on the Intel GPU actually did run (Intel probably have improved their OpenGL minidriver since then) and 2) understanding that running applications on Linux will required ensuring compatibility with dependencies (which may break other applications) and being familiar with the Linux command line and operating system including compiling packages and managing permissions.

I don't fault him at all, and I agree that I would not recommend any of those titles on Linux to anyone who's wants to play, infact if you wish to play games I would not recommend Linux at all not even SteamOS.
But that said none of those games are inherently so broken that they will not install or run on Linux if all the hardware and software requirements are met.
Leaked pics of body parts had only five pors:

- 4x USB-C
- Minijack

So I would assume apple goes hard for 4 multi-purpose USB-C instead.

Watch Your Coastal Property. Here Comes the Sea
I'm kind of surprised by the surprise generated by MacBook Pro resilience on the market. What were they expecting? That everybody would buy an iPad? Mom and Dad sure, but professionals? More and more I have the feeling that the MacBook Pro is the go-to laptop not only in startups but also in more established companies. That's what I've been given at my past 3 companies, and almost all devs were using that.

"But who does it hurt?"

"And who would make the decision about what should be redacted?"

Whoever decides to release the data. [Spiderman quote here].
Except for a few people who had to quit their jobs and clear favoritism from the DNC chief which is supposed to be neutral:

*Critiques from liberals

But yes, agreed; Wikileaks wasn't an issue until the leaks started showing corruption of the DNC.

Now that it has, apparently the corruption isn't the problem, that evidence of corruption can be leaked is the problem.

Hmm.... Really makes you think.

Time to Correct The Record.
Why Entrepreneurs Need to Fully Commit to Their Minimum Viable Products
From my perspective, the DNC leaks really didn't show that the primaries were rigged. It basically just showed that workers within an organization are human and naturally form biases. These were not public communications from the DNC, but private conversations between individuals. Expecting them to practice full-neutrality in every conversation is a little too much to expect.
After reading this discussion and the source of the project, I've flagged this. This "compile Go faster" project really is just about 5 lines of modestly useful bash, and even as someone who often complains people tend to overstate the uselessness of benchmarks, those benchmarks are truly useless. Along with being too small to measure anything useful, almost certainly being dominated by startup overhead, you can't benchmark two fundamentally different things like that. Incremental builds, regardless of language, are not "3x faster" or "9x faster", they're doing fundamentally less work. It's not quite correct to say they're in a different O() class, but that's at least the right sort of thought. O(n^2) algorithms aren't any number of "x" times faster than a O(n^3) algorithm, they're more fundamentally faster than that metric can capture; similarly here.

To the author, I'm not complaining that you have this on github per se, but you may want to make it more clear what's going on here if you're going to submit it to HN. For instance, this is one of those projects where you could literally inline the source into the README.md. And I'd drop the benchmarks, those really aren't useful. Or at least drop the "x times faster" column.
> I just wish there is a way to protest and protest strongly enough for them to change their behaviour

You have. Trough your money.
Which is, again, not evidence that anything got rigged.

The RNC had a similar anti-Trump preference. There's similarly no evidence they rigged anything against him.
Thanks! I've tried similar tools without success, but this one is sort of successful. It has completely cleared things a few times, but I've had to keep re-running it since yesterday as they re-appear. This morning I was down to only things from 4 years ago or more showing up so I'm running it for a fourth time.
On Primal Productivity
For one it's explicitly stated in the update notes that C#/Mono support is going to be included in the next minor release. The reason for that seems to be (mainly) that there's one dev who likes the idea and just started hacking away at it (see: https://github.com/neikeq/GodotSharp).
USB-C can be electrically compatible with Displayport. So a cheap 5-dollar adapter should do the trick.
I've been using the first generation 12" Retina MacBook (with the 1.1 GHz Core M and Intel HD Graphics 5300) for about a year now, currently running the macOS Sierra Public Beta, and honestly, it doesn't feel crippled at all.

Sure, it's not as fast, but I can run and use Photoshop, Pixelmator, Acorn, GarageBand, Logic, Xcode, Final Cut, and many other apps just fine, along with League of Legends and most other games that the GPU can handle (though it can't handle many and often warns about heating up), while multitasking and plugged into a secondary 1920x1080 screen. It's actually amazing for an entire PC that doesn't even have any fans (as in active cooling.)

I honestly can't see how anyone fails to understand that this is an ultraportable whose use-case is clearly people that travel a lot and prefer to carry around as little as possible.

If you need a beefy CPU/GPU this is not for you. If you need a gajillion ports this is not for you. Why insist on getting something that isn't for you and then complaining about it?
Getting started with Futures [Rust]
They had a clear preference, just like the RNC preferred a non-Trump candidate. Imagine what you'd read about Trump in their emails.

That's not evidence of election rigging.

Apple was a huge investor into OpenCL. AMD is as well. AMD supports OpenCL 2.0 while NVidia folks are stuck on OpenCL 1.2.

I recognize that a lot of people want CUDA instead, but OpenCL support is superior on AMD cards.

The real question...what is going to be soldered to the frame, and what will be replaceable.

I bought a 2012 MBP last year because I wanted the ability to swap out its guts at will. I doubt this new version will have that capability.
Could you please explain what it means ?
I'd like to write a lot about this, but I don't have the time. So I'll rattle off some stuff without going in depth.

Better software. Better integration into peoples lives. Cheaper fees. Less exploitative and predatory lending practices (as in no desire to be a lender at all so that's not an issue). Holding more deposits as capital so deposits are safer. No investment banking to put deposits at undue risk.

Generally just a fresh attitude towards everything.

Apple, Amazon or Google would not need to be a "bank" in the way banks operate today. I'd say that would be the biggest benefit of all. Somewhere safe to keep your money and nothing more.

The speculative side of banking can be left to those people and institutions with an appetite for risk. And they can risk their own money.
Essentially yes. But note that it is using a row hammer attack to physically flip the bit in the shared memory. Doing so bypasses the normal copy-on-write shared memory safeguard. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Row_hammer
This is really cool. I'm going to bookmark this and look in to it more in-depth. I've always wondered about how to generate maps for a game. Good job.
That's why we have laws to punish them.

If your argument is that they're willing to face the consequences in order to perpetrate their greater crime, then (respectfully) you've missed two crucial points:

1. US legal tradition wholeheartedly rejects the goal of absolute security. Better to suffer a few terrorist attacks than live in a surveillance state (yes, yes ... I know... not the point...)

2. Deterrence, in general, doesn't work against self-sacrificing adversaries. Even if crypto were outlawed, terrorists would still use end-to-end crypto, and refuse to comply with a court order to decrypt.
Google Play Music supports HTML5, however I think it works better (i.e. more tested) with Flash or something. So Flash is still the default, while HTML5 is the fallback.

And btw, GPM seems to use a similar DRM method as the one supported in Netflix, so if your browser does not support DRM, you're out of luck [1].

Yes it can be, and if that were the intention here (rather than a mistake) it is a good example of poor usage. A sentence such as "Julia Evans writes on their blog" introduces a lot of unnecessary ambiguity if "their" = "her".
All you're doing there is replacing the implied morality of 'God' with the different implied morality of 'economics.'

It can be useful to remember that economics is primarily a branch of rhetorical moral philosophy - not an empirical science.
Is that enforceable though?
Does `go build` use multiple core's?
And you'd be arguing semantics.

It's "classified by default" out of concern for a certain principle, ergo the act of classification is applied in a knee-jerk (i.e. thoughtless, reflexive) manner.

Semantic argument is semantic.
I've worked for banks. I'd trust Apple to build a secure environment but not a bank.
Startup Project Management and Product Development
That's rather interesting, because my experience is from trying to order an English-language book in Denmark. I got to pay the Amazon price plus a little extra to the book store for their trouble (and I had to pick it up at the book store, rather than my mailbox).

Then again Danish book stores are insanely crummy. Most of them are somewhere between an arts and crafts store and a book store. Many even add a toys section. The selection of books is a joke in most of them. For the largest chain of book stores, books almost seems to be a secondary product.
SpaceChem, Spaz, and Jamestown all worked fine for me back when I was running way lower specs than he was. Actually, all of the Humble games did, save Psychonauts, because my machine wasn't powerful enough to run it. Yes, it was that bad.
And please, allow me to open it up and put new/more RAM and an m.2 ssd in there. (One may hope)
I wonder what was Seth Rich's job at DNC ? Technically, could he have leaked those emails ? How can we be sure Assange is dishonest when he implies Seth Rich was the source ? Is there solid proof that Rich was really the victim of a failed robbery and not revenge disguised as robbery ?
I don't. One of my coworkers has a Lenovo X1 and that thing makes my mid-2015 Retina MacBook Pro look chunky by comparison. Thinner, lighter, faster, stronger are all what I want in my next laptop.
Yet with access to your HN account, a malicious person could damage your reputation and career, and I can imagine different kinds of social engineering that makes "weak link" seem plausible.
It was not just preference, they interfered with the media to change their peaces on Clinton. It's not just opinions here, they acted on them.
It's simpler than that. In the past, information was passed to trusted reporters because the media was trusted. A lot of what Wikileaks is reporting now is that the media is coordinating with the same people that these leaks are about in the first place. In other words, the media isn't trustworthy. So it's a choice, put it out whole, or take a real risk that it'll never see the light of day. You could argue that Wikileaks could be doing its own editing to redact sensitive irrelevant information, but then they're curating the content and are open to criticism regarding whether they're editing with a bias.

I get it, I don't like that innocent people's information is out there. However, it's a hard choice that Wikileaks is making there in how to put the information out there. It's not as simple as running it through reporters, because you don't know if you can trust them.

I don't think it's a political mess, though. You only really hear that when the information casts the "liberals" in a bad light. It's a lot easier to rip Wikileaks when it's a matter of national security, but in this case, it's fairly evident we had a biased primary and the media was complicit in that.
either all information is public or only those in the power elite circles, which control media and its mediums, will have access to all information. I would rather the power rest in the hands of a well informed many since this is an inherently more fault tolerant system than the orwellian future your assertions seem to imply.
Your post is really helpful. I recently tried to create procedural algorithms for medieval maps. I started with path-generation and circular city layouts.

This comment being the top one, my friends, is why our discussions here on HN are completely irrelevant in the great scheme of the consumer hardware market.
This is an opinion shared only by a meager minority of the market that may have a big voice, but basically no power in determining the direction of what we'll see shipped in the future.

I hope they let us configure it with 32gb ram and a 2tb ssd. Also hoping that they release a new external display at the same time.
My experience is that Intel cards produce more problems with OpenGL. But not related to Linux, same on Windows. Part of the reason might be that it's not so common for 3D developers to work with Intel cards so those are less tested.
This is really clever. It would be incredible if this took off and became a standard way to represent addresses.

And most of the ports that weren't done by icculus were done instead by flibitijibibo (Ethan Lee), who is also pretty amazing.
True. I should have specified that the volume of use for poorly implemented features is only not useful for determining that it is a bad feature. Lots of use indicates that it may be a great feature, or that it's not the feature you thought it was (https://xkcd.com/1172/)

Love the concept, but P2 code depends on the country, I think it should not be resilient on geopolitical address.
For example, in France, states have changed recently (change in name and merging).
All I want from a new MBP is to easily replace the: battery, ram and SSD. My current one is several years old and has only lasted this long because those parts could be substituted.

I'm guessing it's a lost cause, their ideas aligned with mine for a short window and then they decided to turn it into a gadget rather than a user serviceable computer.
Thank you, that seems useful. I must be reading it wrong, though, because I see wsgi completing three times more responses than node.js, which seems wrong. I also can't find the "three wins each" that you reference.

EDIT: Ah, I just noticed the different benchmark tabs at the top, thanks.
It's a reference to the Maoist Hundred Flowers Campaign: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hundred_Flowers_Campaign

The short version is that Mao encouraged people to openly express non-communist political philosophies and then killed or imprisoned those who had done so.
Depends. You want only the contents of a directory when you ls it. Many scripts and programs depend on determinable output from utilities like ls, find, ps, etc.
First google result, and it certainly has similarities to the situation.

>"Whistle-blowers go to significant efforts to get us material and often very significant risks," Assange said. "As a 27-year-old, works for the DNC, was shot in the back, murdered just a few weeks ago for unknown reasons as he was walking down the street in Washington."

>When the interviewer interjected that the murder may have been a robbery, Assange pushed back.

>"No," he said. "There’s no finding. So… I’m suggesting that our sources take risks."

>When pressed as to whether Rich was, in fact, the leaker, Assange stated that the organization does not reveal its sources.

http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2016/08/10/assange-implies-m...

Assange's transparent conflation of the murder of Seth Rich with "our sources" is obvious. He won't outright lie and claim Rich as a source, but he's nakedly prodding you to form your own conspiracy theory.

It refers to the Hundred Flowers Campaign in China.

Excerpt from the wikipedia article [1]:

> The first part of the phrase is often remembered as "let a hundred flowers bloom". It is used to refer to an orchestrated campaign to flush out dissidents by encouraging them to show themselves as critical of the regime, and then subsequently imprison them. This view is supported by authors Clive James and Jung Chang, who posit that the campaign was, from the start, a ruse intended to expose rightists and counter-revolutionaries, and that Mao Zedong persecuted those whose views were different from the party's.
