I don't know enough about linguistics to have an opinion on that, it just seems too short and lacking sources and explanations for the layman, but to be fair, that's really just getting the "politics out of the way". I'm very sensitive to people trying to have a go at other people they can't face directly, and I was absolutely primed to be upset about that here, but I didn't get the impression at all. Maybe I'm wrong, but fwiw and all that.

We are going thru a transition now, moving an assembly operation to Mexico. It is a royal PITA. Customs paperwork is insane. The culture also, hard to get a blunt honest answer about how it is "really going" at the factory.

The key to a successful move is to have a native US person embedded in the Mexico plant. They can keep operations running and put out fires.

NAFTA requires lots of paperwork and reconciliation. If one can navigate the paperwork requirements, then yes it is free trade. If not, have to pay an assist to move goods back and forth.
Today I learned about Betteridge's Law [0], which seems apt here. It states that when a news headline asks a question, the answer is always "no." When it applies to a paper, I'm disinclined to take the paper seriously...

When you say resistance, you mean 'implementing a locally controlled version of the problematic US-controlled system they're resisting', right?
One of my favorite articles. Also another argument for why we need a boring, stable, un-opinionated, cross framework compatible routing library.
Realized, thank you.

What is the diff between this and other pandemic illness? Meaning (in all seriousness) why certain things and not others? What or who formed these decisions
I'm surprised you made it all the way to the third paragraph if you just weren't going to read the article.

The point the article is making (a point I understand really well, as a remote worker and a non-24 sleeper) is that a remote job isn't simply "do your exact same job, except do it at home". To actually have it work, you need to fully account for your remote employees. This affects your company, it affects work management, planning, execution, everything. It affects how the work is assigned, how it's prioritized, how the meetings are held. It completely changes the social aspect of the job, so that needs to be accounted for both from the employees' and employers' perspective.

Or you can just ignore all this, interpret the article's title however you feel like, and talk about salary. Whatever.
You don't get to the IMO by mere memorization.

This shows both the amazing progress of iPhone and disheartening progress of the Mac line simultaneously.
The basic issue with using an external memory is that you simply become a man in the middle and control what is happening the whole way. There is not some sort of magic "more low level way" available on flash ICs.. The flash device on any apple device can be fully emulated either by an FPGA or a special high speed setup that still has the flash IC attached to it. When the magic command comes in to write the value to store how many attempts have occurred you respond as if the value was written correctly but then don't actually write it. Assuming the block of memory that is being written is encoded with a particular checksum that is also including some checksum that was calculated on the local copy inside the secure enclave then the main problem we would run into would be that the secure enclave may store some value like that checksum in its memory locally in flash. So when you go to attempt the next passcode it reads the previous checksum from the external nand flash IC and sees that you are using the correct checksum, but the value you stored for the attempt counter does not sum up properly. So basically you would also need to reverse engineer their checksum process to screw up some other value to make the checksum add up properly. The alternative as I suggested is to just store the actual attempt counter in the internal flash of the main A8 or whatever processor in the secure enclave. That way it forces the hacker to have to be a much more sophisticated user and take more risk to damage the chip to basically completely remove the chip, FIB it to cut down to the proper layer--if apple was smart they would bury the flash for the secure enclave under a bunch of important metal routing that would be super difficult to get around, then even a super sophisticated nation state actor would be highly challenged to do this modification.. Desoldering the flash IC and soldering in an interposer that has an FPC that connects to an FPGA that is purpose built for this setup could be done in like 30 mins or less. So if apple wants to make this scheme difficult to do, they should embed it deep inside the main processor and not rely upon the external flash at all.
python/ruby/java on backend. React/Ember/Angular on front end. The core libraries are relatively stable, it's mostly supporting libs that will burn you if you aren't careful.
It does provide somewhat of an isolation on the WAN side.

If your grandma installs ElasticSearch on her box, she won't get pwned because it listens on 0.0.0.0 on her laptop and she didn't get the latest updates and is vulnerable to RCE.
Probably PHP and plain JS, which is why I think that argument doesn't make sense. New web stuff is currently so much better than the old alternative that dealing with tumultuous stability is often worth it.
Have you tried text-to-speech software? The built-in one for Mac OS X is quite good (Alex, the default voice is not annoying).

I set the words per minute to a very high rate, and I get my hacker news while exercising or doing chores around the house. I've completely stopped reading long articles, except when there are intersperced code samples.

I highly recommend.
I had that knee-jerk reaction too, but reading the thing I didn't get the impression it's some kind of stabby thing. But generally: yeah, I just know when Chomsky dies (heavens forbid), so many people will pull so many antics to sweep him under the rug. But another way to look at it is like a flare, that makes it easier to separate wheat and chaff in these murky times, so I ain't bothered. His life and mind will always be an inspiring example to those who care to really look, nothing can undo that. Kinda like people can forget and belittle but not touch Bill Hicks.
> So as long as there isn't any new sorts of drug in the toothpaste and one is using pretty standard safe sort of ingredients, there isn't really a need for some of the testing

This is probably exactly what the testing is for. Consider a drug that is (fluoride + X), where both fluoride and X are "already tested and safe". Are we sure that for all values for X, (fluoride + X) is safe also?
The day that apple flips switch in opt and ships OS X in Arms means Intel could be in trouble. They did it before with PowerPC->Intel.

Does this have implications for game consoles too? Is the iPhone the most powerful gaming device?

A few years ago, one of the more interesting responses I had to an announcement of a project in to modern asset-generic, topology-generic, risk model-generic, actor-perspective oriented transaction protocols[1] was a US academic engineer interested in applications to electrical grids and embedded power systems in resource-constrained environments. I would like to have continued further and still believe in the currency of such a system (especially given rapidly evolving, complex risk models in infrastructure systems of all types), unfortunately my employer had other priorities and I have not had reason to return to the project. The IFEX protocol notes in particular may be interesting reading for those in the area, however.

In other communities, to circumvent asinine ploys at lock-in, someone would just brute force the pdf file with a burner facebook login, and repost it. But then, you'd still be stuck with a pdf.
Hierarchy of Isolation
Be warned, they do NOT use ECC memory.
For most customers, average usage and instant usage are very different though. A data cap is a way to be able and sell higher peak bandwidth than would otherwise be possible, by oversubscribing in a controlled way.
I think this becomes more and more viable with every Apple A-series release and that this is the year where if they were to release the right machine, I probably wouldn't flinch switching to an ARM "daily driver" computer
Most peoples electricity usage is relatively inelastic and no one wants the cognitive overload of checking electricity prices before they put the TV on.
I've always wanted to remap a keyboard (and do whatever else) so I could hit numbers/symbols in a modal manner with Caps Lock.

It's interesting that a large amount of churn seems to be an unfortunately common trait of frontend libraries.
Fascinating! Death seems less scary if it's more like a vivid dream. I wonder how much influence a person's view of the afterlife has on these dreams.

The Best Resources to Learn AngularJS 2.0
Yeah, Macbook air really feels abandoned

Would love a 16GB model.

For the last 4 years of me saying that, everyone and their brother, and the Apple reps all say "oh you can configure that on the site", because they have have access to the parallel darknet version of the Apple site where Macbook airs ship with 16gb RAM

I really like the air, but I can like the Macbook Pro its not really a big deal. JUST WISH THEY WOULD YA KNOW
ASK HN: Acceptable content for Show HN?
hello all

i just wanted to run a quick question by you; i am used to seeing mostly just tech projects and things that can be directly tried out to the public in show hn, but it brings me to think certain things.

to explain, while i am a technical individual and i do write code and work with tech on occasion, i have several other forms of individual expression, namely my production of music that i've been working on for as long as i've been coding; i understand that this is a technical community, and that focus sort of restricts the possiblre type of content that one might submit to it, but my problem here is, i put just as much intellectual effort and have the same experience with producing music, among other things; with that being said, with the technological processes i undergo to make music (even if not directly related to music), would it be, i suppose, the opposite of appropriate to provide such content? i'm not opposed to any specific answer, and i'm not looking for a yes or no, but more than anything, a discussion on the merits of content that is only peripheral to tech, perhaps invoking it in the process of creation. that is to say, there is an involvement, but the ultimate product is more than just a script or a project meant to do something, but perhaps say, an album, or a youtube channel/playlist showcasing music, or, really, any other sort of artistic content that could be shared.

as far as i see it, the only way around the current restriction of content, how i interpret it at least, would be to provide a walkthrough or an analysis on the technical processes that were invoked and perhaps some education on how to perform them, in creating said product.

thoughts?
Most likely it's a fuse type thing. It literally is a one time programmable fuse that is set by some subroutine. Basically you execute that function and bam you get back some key that says that it worked. You try to execute again and the fuses have already been set and the key is the same. Many ICs have built in one time programmable memories or fuses to be used during provisioning. Such as to set a MAC address on a Ethernet chip or wifi chip. It's literally burned into the chip in the factory and cannot be changed. It's a one time thing and does not change after reboot or anything.
If the future is predictable to you, use that ability to make trillions of dollars and then use the resulting power to impact the future. Whining about it on the internet just makes you seem dismissive.

Several boring but good things

Spring Boot (Java) is really simple and boring yet a lot of capabilities underneath

Also,
ASP.NET (c#) - similar deal

Django or Flask (Python)

Backbone.js, jQuery, Bootstrap (JS front end)

Maybe Angular or Ember or even basic React+Flux in the front end if you can contain your enthusiasm

This paper is a good place to start lol. The paper begins with a summary of Chomsky's major contributions, and is fairly readable.

The answer is no, Chomsky will probably never be blown out of the water. His hypothesis is evolving, though.
I think this attitude is the crux of the ageism problem: "Your experience is irrelevant because this shiny new technology didn't exist 20 years ago"
Intel will be ok, Apple don't sell that many chips. And it is not going to affect anyone else.

And Intel are looking at helping Apple out with the next versions of their chips, possibly fabbing them.
It's quite possibly faster in the CPU department than the PS4/Xbox One, though those both have 8 (slower) cores.

But the PS4, Xbox One and possibly even the Wii U will have much faster GPUs.

I would prefer billions. Why do we consider growth a good thing? Why can't we challenge it? Wouldn't it be easier and better to improve the life of a constant number instead of trying to make room for always more and more people and try to make their lives minimally comfortable?

The Macbook-with-no-suffix line is the implicit replacement for the Air anyway.
Before anyone asks why not just use jsperf.com, it has been down for over a year now and Mathias have indicated that he doesn't want to bother with it.

Implementation wise, this is built with Jekyll coupled with a bot "@Postbot" on GitHub, which is to be released soon (TM).

Also on a local branch is a benchmark runner which uses Sauce Labs and generates samples using their browser matrix. Not yet decided If i'll run with that or just let users do the sampling.
Per comments from the React devs, Facebook handles routing needs with their own internal stuff. They don't use anything like React-Router themselves, so they have no need to build or open-source something like that.

However, wouldn't it make sense to e.g. adjust heating/air conditioning depending on electricity spot price? That's then just a gadget that gets the information and guides the home system.

It'll probably be more meaningful in some industrial plants though, if there's any such energy-intensive industry.
If you have something relevant, post it here. If it's relevant to another community (musicians, for example) post it there.

> 5. Sub-par debugging experience.

I've worked with AngularJS and React. After spending enough time with each framework that I'm "productive" with them and don't get constantly confused by what's going on, this is now by far the most important reason to me when adopting a framework. React(and Redux) just spoil you with an awesome debugging experience, and it's just painful for me to go back to any set of tools that takes some of that away. The rest of the points I've already "suffered" through with AngularJS, and it is my opinion that they are a rough, but surmountable cost. Having a poor debugging experience, however, just kills my willingness to work.

(For the record, AngularJS has some debugging aides - you can inspect scopes pretty easily given a DOM element. However, the watches and digest cycles, which do all the heavy-lifting, are pretty much opaque - you need to have a good understanding of how your watch expressions are compiled into watch functions and place conditional breakpoints deep within the framework in order to inspect why a certain watch is not being called/being called too many times)
The app I'm working on is an ASP.NET MVC monolith, and it's fantastic.

Yeah it's not new fun tooling, but boy does it feel good to ship features without it being a total pain in the arse.

Also C# is pretty nice.
I learned this subtle trick via nvm. If you use "nvm install 6" it will automatically download the latest version.
That's why autopilot is probably a misnomer even in aviation, that doesn't make its use in Teslas any better though.
Rails on the backend. Angular on the frontend. Both are big, stable frameworks with tons of support, plugins, thousands of tutorials / SO Q&As. Whatever problem you encounter with those, somebody already solved it.

This is the case with any mature framework. Rails and Angular just happen to be my favorites, but Django, or Spring and Ember can probably work just as well.
For developers, the MacBook Pro is becoming less and less useful as Apple increasingly configures it for casual and business users. I've been hearing increasing grumbling about all the adapters and dongles you have to buy and carry. The prospect of no 1/8" jack is another step in this direction. I've noticed devs moving increasingly toward the lenovo/linux combo, or equivalent, as a result. I'm not sure if Apple realizes how important it is to their business to have developers choosing their laptops, or the loss when the tide starts pulling away. It's been a difficult line for Apple to walk... between offering what developers want, and what consumers want, but you actually need both for a full functioning ecosystem. They are now beginning to make it all a consumer and business line, and I think they don't realize the importance of the ecosystem. Very worrisome.
I imagine in near future, we will use smartphones as our personal computer in every situation. In the office, one can then interact with a Bluetooth keyboard, mouse/touch pad and use a big monitor. Probably, one of the next iOS will come with a macOS UI as well (under the hood the iOS is based on macOS anyway) - so if you connect it to a huge monitor, you have the desktop UI of macOS, and otherwise the iOS UI. The same will happen with Android/ChromeOS/Google Fuchsia, Ubuntu and MS has some ideas too (but they cannot execute it, forcing mobile UI on desktop failed big, now they bet on Win32 again to fill their empty AppStore).
Nice little story, but then you point to audiencemojo, basically an automated clickfarm for instagram.

How does that compare to the advice you were given. If you get 1 customer for audiencemojo, they get 1 like from you (as you don't have others in your farm to take advantage of) what are they going to pay you for? Or are you going to like them from fake accounts? What will that actually do for them.

My main criticism is you've spent a bunch of time and clearly thought out what adds up to little more than a scam, and if you think Instagram doesn't have the ability to shut you down in a very short time, you're dreaming.

If I'm misreading what you're doing, please correct me.

If I'm right, stop. just stop. take a breath, realise that there are many many great things you could be building now that will 1) actually help people and 2) that you can be proud of. If you can nail those two, it is likely that you will have something that somebody will pay for.

Don't be a charlatan or wantrepreneur. It appears you have some ability, you've got a minor project done where others have not, you just chose the wrong project. Not a big deal. Just take better aim next time.
It's totally OK for Office, just because you are accustomed to something.
You can try the office mobile product line on windows 10 (available from the store), which is UWP, and pretty usable for its limited feature set, and the lack of "do you do u really really really want to quit?" modal popups.

Bashing UWP for advocating a different app model, and different UI design principles is like still using bash in 2016 because you are accustomed to ash from the 70s, and GUIs cannot go to start of line with Ctrl-A, thus saying they are inferior. Change has its positive sides and drawbacks, but in both cases it is mostly for the better.
This gets posted on EVERY submission ending in a question mark. It was old 2 years ago. Now it's just plain trite, pointless, tiresome and distracting.

What are the major changes that were instituted and what are the results?
I think there's a middle road. What you're mentioning is pretty extreme. Rails/Django/Spring and Angular/Ember are all considered boring and very stable while not nearly as outdated as your example.
Controlling immigration is racist?
Uh, Jack, Jack, listen... tell me, tell me, Jack. When did you first... become... well, develop this theory?

Well planned for sure too. These things don't happen by chance. I'm sure they were planning for this all along. Good for them.
