Presumably that's not the point. It raises awareness of the death (first I've heard of this). That gets people talking (even without proof) and gets the Wikileaks name on anything that does turn up.

Charitably, it could cause someone to realize that some piece of knowledge is part of a larger issue, but I'd be stunned if that was the real point.
> Intel laptop line of CPUs only accept 16gb [1], so there's no reason to no max it out from the start if you need it, really.

I agree about the "if you need it really" part. But otherwise, I can think of a couple of reasons to get a smaller SSD initially and upgrade later. Firstly, storage needs usually grow with time, and hence a smaller SSD may be enough to start with (though in 2016 the majority of people cannot afford to store all their stuff on SSDs). Secondly, and this is related to the first one, the cost of a larger SSD (as with most hardware) would drop over time, allowing one to not spend a lot upfront and instead use a lot less of 'future money' to upgrade to one's needs.

Of course, Apple's SSD prices have always been quite high compared to third party replacements, and that makes this "upgrade as you go" scheme more worthwhile monetarily.

For those who use these machines as "it pays for itself" kind of work, it may be worth it. For most others though, the flexibility of being able to upgrade the SSD or RAM make a big difference on the expense, the experience and lastly, the amount of e-waste generated.

>in favor of being some of the most ruthless and sharky people in the business world.

A lot of techies, especially young guys, are hyper-competitive from very early on. I think a lot of shops have a problem where the cut-throats are a good part of the staff, then these guys start graying a bit, have kids, etc and realize they can't keep up but they've already created a cut-throat culture. So they burn out and move onto a company with better benefits and values.

Its easy to blame CEOs, and obviously they should share the blame here, but a lot of this culture is grassroots. The most miserable environments I've been in are CS classes and early career tech work. Holy shit, are the egos huge and the attitudes bad. Social skills in IT are below average in general in my experience, so we're talking a lot of serious and dedicated misanthropes with stereotypical male social aggression, bullying, and intimidation. (gee, women don't feel comfortable in CS classes, I wonder why?)

The real question is why aren't we teaching the values of work-life balance, win-win, etc from early on. Is it schooling with its emphasis with grades and "doing better than the other guy?" By the time it gets to the CEO level, its already been ingrained in society. My pet theory is that CEO behavior just reflects the rest of us. If it didn't they'd be kicked out of by the board or an employee uprising. A lot of people love Bezos and his heavy-handed ways, in fact, they think this is why Amazon products provide such a good value.

As we move towards automation and post-scarcity these questions are going to become important. It may be the case that today's batch of CEO bad guys are the last generation as GMI and other concepts become political realities to handle later stage capitalism, economic drive-downs, loss of jobs via automation, and lower costs of living.

Some types of people are innately better suited to govern. That is my intuition and I suspect it to be fact.

If this is not something you accept as true then you should explain why. It would not be clearly evident to me (or most of our ancestors).

Some people make a virtue out of proclaiming their humble means/ability but veer over into being unscientific. This is like the monkeys who beseech the alpha-male that they are not threats. It is a good survival mode but it isn't an objective fact. Being self deprecating is not more sophisticated than arrogance.

So if you don't accept the proposition as true I ask you to check if you really believe that, or whether it is convenient to your peers or authority figures that you hold that belief. It is hard not to notice many geeks are self immolating for no good reason, that is why I'm saying these things.

Ruling requires a list of attributes such as detachment, emotional stability, being analytical, world comprehension, deep knowledge of the past and other rigorous training. Notice that we could test for these attributes, this would not be some handwavy 'some people are better than others' tripe, this could be demonstrated with practical trials.

Tech people may or may not fit this type. I suspect they fit some of any hypothetical list but probably not all of it. As I've said before, some people do fit the type better than others. It is a sort of Platonic ideal, even the best suited human on earth doesn't perfectly fit the type.

tldr; I think if you combine a programmer, an intelligence analyst and an historian with somebody of good executive function you arrive at a very crude but still very much superior ruler than the dolts (also demonstrable every day) who run our current system.
> Amazon is large company. A really large company. Like all large companies, there are good/great departments and bad ones.

I don't buy this as an excuse. There are too many stories about Amazon culture to write them all off as a loud minority. Either Amazon has more bad departments than other companies or the bad ones are just worse. Either way I don't care, I don't want to work in a toxic environment and am not going to coin-flip that I get put into one of the good ones.

How was he assaulted? Did the guy came with kitchen knife and said he's going to cut his fingers or something? Or he thrown a paper ball in his direction?
And if we lived in that world we'd all be saying "no one ever sandboxed their apps, maybe if Flash had taken off they'd have plugged their security holes and we would have had a great platform!"
Why would I believe you when you have no proof and Assange has no proof. If Assange has proof he should release it, otherwise he's just injecting more conspiracy theories into an election that is already poisoned by them.

I'm not sure about that. I got my wife the 1st gen MacBook, and I have a 2012 i5 11" MBA. I like the size of the Macbook, I don't mind the keyboard but it's very much laggier than the 2012 MBA. MUCH. Once you have something running it's ok, but sometimes starting an app like FF the MB will sit there for 5 sec with no feedback. I haven't seen Mac's do that since the PPC days.

First, you have to teach long division and long multiplication to your 7B people. Like the concept and idea and truly hope for adoption.

Is it possible to reduce to addition and subtraction? I feel that multiplication and division is a high barrier for most.
I'm using Kubuntu (just up-ed to 16.04 now), PlayOnLinux seems pretty good at getting things running but straight up WINE, for me, seems to take so much fussing with to get it to run stuff.
Most of the exotic particles created in colliders are unstable and decay quite quickly into lighter particles, so they're not good candidates for dark matter. Which lighter particles are produced depends on properties of the initial particle, since quantities like electric charge are conserved (the initial particle's charge must equal the sum of the decay products' charges).

Supersymmetry predicts a new form of conserved charge called "R" charge; since none of the light particles we've seen has R charge, any heavy particles with R charge cannot decay into them, and hence some of those particles (the lightest ones) will be stable.

If such heavy, stable particles were common, they could make up the dark matter we've inferred exists.

See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lightest_Supersymmetric_Partic...

The problem is, each time a collider fails to find any of these heavy supersymmetry particles, the theory gets shuffled around and a new prediction is made with a higher mass. The mass range investigated by the LHC is now so large that it's difficult to shuffle around supersymmetry any more, and it might be time to consider it falsified.

I have to echo everything said by @jerf. One additional suggestion is to write a blog post highlighting ways to improve the workflow for go developers and help them to understand why certain things are better than others, as your work here slots in nicely.

A friend of mine has a Yoga 900 and that thing is just perfect for a light workload at home or on the road.

First off, I simply used some of PCRE for the syntax, as it's what I'm familiar with. \w could be easily replaced, and non-greedy matching is a relatively common extension.

As for when your record spans multiple lines, with recursive structures, the previous regex is for extracting simple atomic data from a json file, which is usally what you want in these cases anyway. If not, the json(1) utility can, I believe, extract arbitrary fields, and composes well with awk, grep, etc.

People just happen to carry their desktops on their pockets

You mean they carry their portable UNIX servers in their pockets with them. Since they all come with a web browser, there's your application's or your server's front end.

and use this thing called apps on them.

I have a few of those on my mobile UNIX server as well. Stupidest thing I've ever seen or used, "apps". What for, when they could have used a web browser to display their front ends, or could have ran on a backend server and just sent the display to the web browser? Most of those "apps" I use won't function without an InterNet uplink anyway... idiocy pur.
There is also the unaddressed issue of how terrible OLED displays are for anything persistent (they burn in), consume power when idle and offer no tactile feedback.

So you're running your own DNS server then too right? A hardened email server doesn't prevent a targeted attacker from just redirecting your mx records (as happened to OP).

Github doesn't require a phone number to use 2FA.
And if you don't trust Google or Facebook with your phone number then that means you don't use either of them at all? Because otherwise holding back your phone number from them is a rather pointless exercise as they already know everything about you [1]

That's ridiculous, it's not useless anywhere. What's useless is how shitty fingerprint readers were before TouchID.

TouchID isn't just a reimplementation, it's a massive technological improvement that elevates consumer fingerprint readers from gimmicky afterthoughts to a core part of UX.

"PC laptops had it and it never took off" is a horrible metric to judge anything. If the technology and implementation is trash, then of course it's not going to take off. That's why being first to do anything is a meaningless milestone. Be first to do it well, and you might as well have invented it.
Especially in a pro Macbook I could see it being really useful - think of all the people developing iOS applications on them. They can now run the simulator on the laptop display and have it pass touch events through to the simulated device.
Maybe they could bake a warning about the use of deprecated features into the default MOTD or some other system alert?

Something like: "Hey, we are considering deprecating 'ls -P' and detected its use by your system. We'd love to work with you to ensure a smooth transition, check out 'man depwarn3754' for details on how you can help." The man page could include a notice about why they want to deprecate it, how you can get away from using it, and, how to contact them if you think it's an issue.

It'd be a lot of leg work, that's for sure.

What you proposed still depends on something like secure boot but could be a way to satisfy that mandate by preventing manufacturers from arbitrarily restricting the configuration.

There are two nascent alternative Rust compiler projects that I know of. One is https://github.com/thepowersgang/mrustc, which does not aim to be a GCC or LLVM front-end, and seems aimed at bootstrapping rust on platforms with only C/C++ support. The author of this alt compiler says they're able to parse and typecheck libcore (the small OS independent part of the standard library). They are working on codegen so they can start making use of the rustc compiler tests. I don't think they aim to implement the borrow checker, though, because their goal is bootstrapping rustc on other platforms, and the borrow checking can be verified using a different compiler.

There's also a frequent user of the rust irc channels who is experimenting with writing a GCC front-end for rust. I don't think any code for that is public yet, and I don't know how far along they are.

I used "solid proof" as a placeholder for "more facts, not opinions, indicating that". Some facts indicate it was not a robbery: "They took his life for literally no reason.

Coming from the same company that proclaimed "can't innovate, my ass" in 2013, I'll believe it when I see it. I've been very frustrated with the lack of direction and the lack of flexibility in the Mac lineup.

I'd like to see a complete and modern revamp of the entire Mac lineup, but it looks like Apple, with a lot of money (even considering the U.S. alone), is not capable of focusing on Macs anymore. Or more likely, Apple decided that the sales of Macs wasn't worth spending more on them, while all along requiring app developers for all its platforms (macOS, iOS, watchOS, tvOS) to necessarily build their apps on Macs.

It would be nice to get all the Macs being actively improved, but the Buyer's Guide on Macrumors doesn't give much hope. :(

I can easily find numeric coordinates on a map, without any special tables or computations.

Very many people understand how to use standard numeric coordinates.
