He directly insulted me, clarify how in your thinking, this has anything to do with hero worship? Stating your views without falling back on the needless application of profanity is something I'd appreciate.
Careful if you're a user of Karabiner, it doesn't work in Sierra - there's a rewrite underway to correct.
> Interesting, although I'd suggest that the problems for RBS in implementing such a system are more a reflection of the complexity and age of their systems than than technology used.

And I'd suggest you're wrong. Neither complexity or age of a system is usually the issue. In fact, I'd say technology is almost never the real issue, but rather organizational red tape. Those owning the various systems often operate as more or less autonomous entities, largely with their own change policies and process, and I'd be willing to bet this will be a bigger hurdle than anything technical. Also, there will be a fair bit of politics involved.

Perhaps a small outfit as monzo can move fast and be nimble now, but if you reach the point where you have multiple system owners you will inevitably run into these problems, and they have almost nothing to do with technology. FUD, often fueled by compliance requirements (whether actual legal compliance or perceived such) also plays a large part.

For me personally, I sometimes wish the red tape would just go away, and at other times I'm glad it's there to save us from some of the madness I've seen people try to get deployed.

Just because you submitted it doesn't mean everyone at company y isn't alerting on posts about their company and voting them up.

They don't redirect for mobile devices, that is. If you visit an AMP URL on a non-mobile device, you'll end up at the original piece of content.
Finder is worse than 10.11 and it crashes on multiple moves. At this point I'm just not sure what the heck is the problem. Now it stops being able to do command-drags (moves) after a while.
Karabiner has support for most, if not all, keys on the keyboard. On a Mac, the Function keys aren't properly supported by the other key remapping apps. With Karabiner, I can use a PC keyboard to change screen brightness, volume, etc. I can also remap Fn+JKLI to the arrow keys, and much more.
I see no reason why this would be true.

Writing a Hololens Application in 3 Days
One Man's Mid-Life Crisis. An Art Project
Case in point: cryptography, authentication, and authorization are each very sensitive operations which are prone to both gadget attacks and sidechannel attacks. Sandboxing these operations by creating well-defined boundaries between application code and these algorithms and protocols can ensure that application level bugs cannot creep into these critical services.

Consider, for instance, that it is possible to separate TCP/IP or wireless protocol stacks from authentication code so that, for instance, a packet fragmentation bug can't be exploited to influence authentication level decisions. This is classical defense in depth strategy, but enforced through both runtime and formal methods.
> And for OSX naming... I thought Apple is an international company. Tiger, Leopard etc was easy to read and understand as a word for us foreigners and now what? El capitan? I must think their vision is just getting narrower naming a OS to some local name they thought was cool.

It's not just foreigners. Even us on the opposite side of the United States have no idea what El Capitan or Maverick is or means.

>That's just the Twitter you see. There is plenty you don't see: back-office systems, their strategic decisions and product roadmap. All of which have a material impact on staffing.

Well, knowing HN rules on profanity, I better not evaluate their "strategic decisions and product roadmap" thus far.

>Additionally, even the technological similarities are superficial as WhatsApp is mostly 1:1 messaging whereas Twitter is M:N

True. But I'm pretty sure being M:N is not some unique challenge compared to being 1:1 for hundreds of millions -- especially since WhatsApp had 1/60 the people and, from what I know, 1/100 the funding to make that 1:1.

It's not that it's the same challenge, but is it that much of a challenge?
No, windows fail, as can be seen by reviewing the linked pages.

Windows are not the same:

- Windows do not passively aid circulation of warmed air, which the panels are particularly designed to do.

- Windows also do not passively reduce or eliminate overnight-losses of energy (heat) on a cold night (consider negative-centigrade temperature or less), which the linked-to design does do, by passively preventing circulation of air that would cool the building overnight

The design linked-to is specifically designed to passively deal with the prevention of the transfer of heat outside on a cold night, among other things, including limited cost, simple construction, and rapid payback over the life of the building in a cold winter environment. Windows fail as a passive solar source.

I don't think you've addressed his question.

GP was expecting to see a price in terms of $/W, because that's what matters to consumers interesting in purchasing panels: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Price_per_watt

The article quotes a price in terms of $/kWh, because that's how a bid from an industrial electricity provider is stated.

GP was confused / frustrated because a bid in $/kWh completely obscures the cost of the hardware, which is what he's interested in.
> Maybe it upset you
I only said that because I didn't want my comment to come off as goading you into upgrading for the sake of it. I know a bunch of people using older versions of software and are very happy doing so. I was just pointing out a few things off the top of my head I've liked in newer versions in case you weren't familiar with them. Many of them were better integrations with things like iPhone and AppleTV, which might not apply to many people.

a few sporadic replies:

* Notifications: very few things apps supported growl and I like the integrated implementation better. Growl also started charging money, which is fine, but yet another thing to juggle licensing and that friction drove me away.

* multi-monitor: People complained about multi-monitor handling in OSX /a lot/ until the last few years. I haven't heard of any problems recently (maybe I've missed it). I don't deal with it that much, but I still have problems with Windows and Linux...dialog boxes popping up straddling two windows, for example.

* Native fullscreen: Fullscreen API was added in 10.7, then changed in 10.8 and again in 10.9. It sounds like because of a limitation at the time of the initial implementation it was integrated with Spaces which blanked out the second monitor. If I remember, there was an option to have each screen use separate "Spaces" to avoid this and in recent version it works out of the box. I think some apps like VLC or iTerm still use their own fullscreen implementation--but now all apps can be fullscreened without developer intervention. I just pointed it out because as it exists today, it's a new feature like to use.

* Compressed memory: compresses RAM when it can. Improves performance on lower-end hardware. I don't know about this specifically, but I've seen this kind of thing actually increase performance where i/o is more of a bottleneck than compressing.

* Spotlight: I rarely use it for file search (that in itself hasn't changed since SL), but I use it all the time as an app launcher and calculator.

My beef with Windows crapware was always applications that run on boot, or something that would throw pop up notices after they expire in 30 days. OSX has always had a bunch of application I never use: Automator, Calculator, Chess, Dictionary... just hide them, delete them, or ignore them.

The reason your new applications require new versions of the OS is because the frameworks got better. If new versions of the OS were just adding new applications you don't use, then people would still write their applications with the older, better APIs.
What he's saying is that it's not good enough to be able to control the car 90% of the time. Either it needs to be robust enough to operate safely without human intervention 100% of the time or it needs to somehow enforce that the driver is alert and capable of taking over 100% of the time.

We can't have an autonomous car that expects a driver to take over in a dangerous situation if that driver hasn't had to maintain control the entire time. For instance, there are youtube videos of drivers moving to the passenger seat in a Tesla with autopilot on.
Then suggest that they detect browsers, and put up a little non-distracting version of your thumbnail explanation to their customers. :)

If this is truly distracting or breaking to your clients' customers, then someone is going to have to do or say something.
Search is still horrible. I can only assume that is is sequentially searching back through every line of chat with no index and hanging everything in the process.

Then when it does find something the common use case is never going to be scrolling back through 3 years of chat to get back to current messages, should just show say 100 lines of context and load more on demand.

I have no idea what they actually do on this product text chat wise, but it has always been average and isn't getting any better.
Thanks for sharing! I am actually looking for a machine learning based app that can parse resume and job postings and predict a set of relevant and meaningful interview questions that the potential employer may ask during the interview.

Correct me if I'm wrong but I don't think any of the parts in the current Mac Pro are internally upgradable. OWC might have an upgrade option for the SSD though.

Otherwise you've got to put everything through the external thunderbolt 2 ports. They're fine for storage and there's been some progress on using them for home made gpu expansion boxes but really you'd be better off waiting for Apple to offer something with thunderbolt 3 or internal pci card slots.

Has anyone successfully brought formal methods to an area of code that is newly being developed?

I have successfully convinced management to allow me to use formal methods on portions of very old code (~17 years old at the time) that are being rewritten.. but I've never been able to get management on board with the time required for new development with formal methods. The planning time up-front is more than what a lot of companies are willing to tradeoff for time-to-market.

One of the reasons I moved back to chrome from firefox was that it got annoying of dealing with websites that didn't work well in firefox, so this is a good UX improvement IMO.

It's a very open and transparent standard that doesn't stop others from adopting or caching it as well. It just so happens that the nature of caching favours big players like Google, but Cloudflare or Bing could offer a cache as well. I fail to see it as some sort of Google ecosystem lock-in.

AMP is also compliant with web standards. It just uses Custom Elements which is a fairly new standard.

"did you take a look at the plugin store?"

There is no link to any plugin store from your website.
That is totally a reasonable thing to suggest, and examining it brings to light the importance of Tesla.

Government is like Thor's hammer. If you can wield it, you wield tremendous power.

Think of mega corps as Thor, wielding the hammer. This is how government works: A mega corp pays for politics to happen in a certain way, and thus change happens at huge scale through taxpayer money.

However, you may not wield the hammer if you are not Thor, because it's too heavy. Analogously, lobbying is too expensive for small players, and to be a politician advocating risky things without a huge payout is career suicide.

Advocating governmental change is a nice thought, but how government actually works is by having enough cash. Be a huge mega-corp and then paying lobbyists that pay people inside of government.

Or, you could simply grow a company and do your best to be completely independent of government while stile abiding by their rules and operating under fair laws. That's what Tesla is doing.

I'm pretty his/her intention was not to insult you. Since you won't even consider the possibility that you're not a great engineer, perhaps you're just bad at finding decent jobs and contracts? Or you're bad at negotiating pay? I'm honestly a little confused because my impression is that contractors and consultants make more money than full-time employees.

Nostalgia helps soften it. I used to own a 1541 back in the 80s and it was OK back then. Either way, if available new, I will buy one no matter what. The noises it made transport me to a time when all I did was code without deadlines (good ole days) :)

It's cute that you think competition still works.

Back in 2002, Star Trek Nemesis was released in New Zealand. It had already been out in the rest of the world, the "see it again" campaign had been run, and DVD releases had hit the shelves everywhere else.

But not in New Zealand. My friend there told me that he had been waiting to see it for months, then waited two weeks after its release ("to avoid the crowds") before going in to see it. His words:

"I went in there on the second Thursday after opening day, clutching my twenty dollar note, and stopped to look at the billboard to find out what time it was next going to run. It wasn't. It had been whisked off the screens before two weeks were up."

This particular film was apparently the catalyst of a massive lobbying campaign for their government to ban commercial imports of international DVDs within six months of the release date of a film, because that (and piracy) were the reasons people hadn't flocked to the cinema to see it and other films.
Any skilled worker position, even in US or Canada requires a degree from an accredited university. You might be able to circumvent the process if the company offers you a managerial or executive position. IRC those positions usually require a separate visa application that may not have the same requirements.

NPR and the BBC are traditionally regarded as the benchmark, but in the age of the Internet they aren't close to the quality of many so-called amateurs.

A footnote to those interested:
REBOL never really made it because it was closed source and cost some $ back when Perl was super popular even though the language had some amazing DSLs. Making a GUI is a built in one-liner. It was also slow (only interpreted). Red is that language, plus ability to JIT, and do native code. You can mix and match native and interpreted code too. Use types when and where you want. It has no installation. Just an exe that is a few MB. It can create super tiny executables too. I cannot wait for it to get to 1.0.
In theory, yes. But look at this following quote from the article:

> but was simply the current market price, with this important reservation: in cases of collusion or emergency, the public authorities retained the right to interfere and to impose a fair price.

In socialist governments, they see the free market as always "colluding" to cheat the working man. That's why they set unrealistically low prices for basic goods, like bread, and rail against producers for "colluding" because hey, most price costs about the same amount, so it has to be a coordinated effort while people are going hungry.
That's kind of besides the point though, yes your bottleneck may not be CPU, but if it is, then language matters a lot
