Yes, thanks very much! I actually had those too, as a backup but I think different combinations for opening and closing (or in this case toggling into terminal, and back into the editor) are more cumbersome than simply opening/closing.
OS makers seem just fine dropping support for older audio hardware forcing you to buy the newer model.

When did it become the new normal for OS's to break compatibility with older hardware? Or was all this hardware relying on undocumented and non-standardized interfaces?

The cure to Slack: Do NOT install slack on your phone. And if it is, remove it.

It's the hell to get notifications all day, before you're at work, after you left work. The slack dev didn't bother putting a button to stop beeping on incoming message or to stop receiving messages at all.
I disagree completely with you on this. Nazi violence was just as much a product of culture and social forces than Aztec violence, it's merely much closer to home and we know a lot more about it.

I think this 'outlier excuse' works when talking about serial killers or even criminal gangs, but I'm talking about violence on a much bigger scale, a scale where cultural factors are always contributing.

I wonder to what extent domestic casts have replaced mustelids (weasels, badgers, etc.) and similar small predators in North America. If there were fewer cats, would there be more mustelids? Would they then have a similar effect on the bird and rodent populations?

This hits the nail on the head for what I am trying to communicate. Thanks!

Basically, CC + registered devices are fine pseudo-identifiers. But they aren't guaranteed unique and therefore edge cases do exist.

So if an edge case manifests, it seems that recourse is limited and at this point Apple basically is leveraging reinstating Kapeli's account to extort some sort of PR gain.

Again, I personally don't think Kapeli is without fault here...but it's possible what he is saying is _true_, so given that he _might_ have limited connection to the fraudulent behavior and has gone out of his way to try and reinstate Dash, why continue to deny reinstatement?

Apple might have more information, but until I see it its still a question.
Hmmm. This is pretty interesting. I could imagine doing the same with pre-written out messages too. Write two messages, one real with a stronger key or password, one with a weaker one. It would allow you to not only stop the brute force, but also give Eve bad intelligence.

This is kind of creepy, I registered this morning and started practicing with the trivial exercises, I didn't fill anything special in the registration form besides the username, and now — around six hours later — my profile has been automatically updated with an association to my university and country (which I also didn't select when I signed up). I am not surprised by the country selection, they can easily get that information with a good GeoIP database, but I wonder who did they get the name of my university, maybe from LinkedIn since it is the only place that I am aware of contains that information. Kattis seems like a fun project nonetheless, but these two things scared me out a little bit.
I also had this problem for some time: turns out C/C++ extension automatically created them for every directory that you open. I uninstalled it and it stopped.
But a huge list of micro packages slows installs, too. It shouldn't, but NPM doesn't seem very good at parallelising operations.
That's right. Instance store credentials have an expiration time of a few hours. However, if the instance policy is very open you could create yourself a new IAM account or use STS to maintain persistence after the generated credentials expire.

This is why it's important to lock down instance profiles to do only what the application needs to do and no more. For example, you may give the permission to s3:DeleteObject, and in the event that the box is compromised the attacker would be able to delete files in your S3 bucket. However, if you don't give access to s3:DeleteObjectVersion you can evict the attacker and restore the deleted objects with relative ease.

This is why I would not recommend giving access to s3:* to an instance profile (or indeed, any production credentials).
It can also break compatibility. I built a PC for the first time in probably 10 years. I went with Windows 10, but most of the my stuff didn't have drivers and support. I couldn't tell if things were broken or just didn't have driver support. I cobbled together a version of Windows 7 to make sure everything worked, then moved back to Windows 10.

South Park Studios still uses an image compositor called Shake. It's cross platform (OSX, Windows, Linux) and Apple stopped development in 2008, but they still use Shake to make new episodes. There's a good chance it won't run on the latest version of the operating system, but they've made a huge investment in software and hardware that works fine. Forcing and update would shut down production.
This is cool, but unlike some other recent neural game players [1] [2], it doesn't look at the screen at all. It also has an objective function which is tightly coupled to this game. Therefore this work is not easily generalizable to other video games, nor would it be useful for a real-world self-driving car.

I haven't kept up with that, I'm still using Samsung 470, 830 and Crucial M4 SSDs, which are rock f&^king solid, knock on wood.

But when they were released, with their much lower price tag, their TLC chips (with a huge SLC buffer to make it seem faster) seemed a bit suspicious - basically cheaper MLC, and that's not a good thing in this case.

Facebook’s video-ad scandal shows the company’s disdain for advertisers, users
I've been reading HN for a few years now. The tone of the response to women in IT hasn't changed much. I kept believing that if I were good enough, smart enough, and if people liked me enough, I would get ahead.

Turns out, there's a real ceiling on where I can go. Not because I lack talent. I am very good with people. My last manager believed I would be a VP at the company someday. I maxed out at that fake "architect" role made for people that require more money but can't be promoted to management. This was a large F-50 type organization.

We found that the HR departments at very large companies definitely improve diversity up and down the ranks. But there is a blockade that eventually presents itself.

This blockade can probably be summed up mathematically: The first females to go up stream will always be white. As the number of females up the ranks increases, the less obligation white males feel to grant other minorities the same privilege. Eventually, it works out to where there will be a multitude of white women paving the way at VP level, and until they die off or retire, the blockade prevents advancement for anyone else.

I call it the "wall of white women" with a sub-wall of "white male architects" waiting for their chance. If the minority applicant is not blindingly obviously superior to the wall of white males just beneath the wall of white women, there's no chance.

Unfortunate. I find it kind of hilarious and enjoy watching it form at every single major corporation.
Would that include high integrity like support? Just curious.
Oh c'mon. Instead of being embarrassed at least try to understand the point. It's a fact that women are preferred for promotion in many places just because they are women because of affrimative action often called "striving for diversity". It's also a fact many men feel they are discriminated against in such settings.

It doesn't mean there aren't problems and discrimination against women but you act like his point is not valid and not even worth acknowledging. You just feel "embarrassed". You should feel that way but not because of the comment but because your attitude.

I have used Yocto for building a new of embedded Linux systems in production. I understand that Yocto is used for the resin hostOS images and Docker is used for the images run as containers.

Is it possible or has any thought been put into making it possible to use Yocto for building the containerized images that are deployed to resin (probably in the form of docker images)? Although this is less convenient than using off-the-shelf docker images and customizing with your own docker files, I believe many of the benefits of Yocto in terms of building a custom embedded linux system might also be recognized within the context of resin.

This is a distinction without a difference. "Linking" the accounts is pointless unless it creates a meaningful relationship between them. The only reason to link accounts is to establish that they be somehow treated as a unit.
>Trying to go to Mars is equivalent to the explorers in the 1500-1700s discovering other continents. History has shown it was a good idea.

Not for the people already living on those continents it wasn't. For them, it was a humanitarian disaster of epic proportions.

>We won't know the benefit of going to Mars until 100s of years after we do it.

This is speculation, and if you're implying that explorers to the Americas didn't foresee the benefits, you're completely and factually wrong. They might not have predicted, for instance, the discovery of cocoa/chocolate, but they did think there was gold there (and there was; the Spanish brought back huge quantities of it), plus many other resources like furs, plus the ability to grow many crops there like tobacco.

With Mars, we've already sent a bunch of probes there and learned a lot about it. It's not some big unknown land any more. And there simply isn't any good reason for people to go there except for basic science. You sure as hell can't grow stuff there (and even if you could, getting it back to Earth would cost a fortune; we're not really short on arable land here on Earth, and we're constantly developing ways of more efficiently using what we have, with the next big thing being vertical farming): there's little atmosphere, little water, and it's cold and too far from the Sun. The lack of a magnetosphere and too much radiation probably isn't going to be all that great for your crops either (not to mention any inhabitants). The only foreseeable thing that could be done there is mining. But we don't need to go to Mars to get minerals; we have asteroids passing close to the Earth all the time which could be mined, and have very valuable ores in them. It's also possible to mine on the Moon, which probably has mineral resources thanks to all the asteroid impacts and lack of geological activity. Both of these are far closer and more feasible than Mars.

I'm sorry, but "build it and they will come" isn't a law of the universe, it's a line from a silly movie.
Myers-Briggs has a type label then assigns traits based on that label.

It's not clear to me how that's different.

Only because women and men are equal as human beings and should be treated accordingly it does not mean they are identical. Not so long ago everybody said that we need more women in [paste a well paid white collar job]. You wanted positive discrimination. Now you have it.

Ironically nobody wanted to have more women on construction sites, in the military service or as a surgeon...
I work for a firm that sizes various segments of the embedded hardware and software market. Here's our definition:

A specialized or dedicated computer used to control devices (such as automobiles, home and office appliances, handheld units of all kinds, etc.) where the operating system and application functions are often combined in the same program. An embedded system implies a fixed set of functions programmed into a non-volatile memory (ROM, flash memory, etc.) in contrast to a general-purpose computing machine. However, sometimes single board computers and rack-mounted computers are called “embedded computers” if used to control a terminal interface, machine, motor, etc. An embedded device or system may contain more than one operating system and/or processors (microprocessor, microcontroller, etc.). Specifically excluded from this definition are all types of enterprise computing machines deployed as general-purpose computers (i.e., desktop PCs, standard laptop PCs, enterprise servers, etc.). Our definition of embedded system/device is intended to give a good indication of the potential operating system and run-time software royalty opportunity within the embedded systems market.

So there you go. As you can see our definition has grown substantially over the years as the embedded and IT/enterprise markets have converged. It's much more helpful to think in terms of vendors though.

Traditional embedded silicon vendors include NXP/Freescale, Renesas, Microchip, Rockchip, Cypress/Broadcom etc. Traditional embedded OS vendors include Wind River (Intel), Green Hills, Express Logic, Enea, Micrium, etc.

Intel/Samsung/TI and Microsoft attribute small portions of their revenue to embedded systems, but they don't show up often in conversations with embedded vendors in their respective markets...they focus on enterprise servers/computers/software so they are usually less relevant to the day-to-day going ons of embedded vendors (until they swoop in with the intent to acquire).

This is changing though...has been fun advising some larger players on embedded strategies. Interesting time to be in the market for sure.

Here's one i highly recommend: Mt Tiede (~ 3,500m) in Tenerife, one of the Canary Islands, which makes it a good trivia question since it's technically the highest peak in Spain (which i would have guessed is in the Sierra Nevadas or the Pyrenees to the East).

Tenerife is easier to get to than you might think, it's about a 3.5 hr flight from London, and among that city's airports (Luton, Gatwick, Heathrow, et al) dozens of flights to Tenerife each day.

According to the Lonely Planet guide, Mt Tiede is the real deal--an active volcano that last erupted near the start of WW I. There is a very high fence around the caldera. The can walk to the summit via a well-worn switchback (zig-zag) path that's never very steep. It took us all morning, starting at dawn; we never saw another person, then at the summit, a large crowd of tourists standing around, freezing waiting for the next cable car to take them back down. You can see from the summit eg, Grand Canaria.

The vast majority of the time, we’d overestimate the amount of work we could do. Granted, we did get more disciplined about estimating and we eventually fell into a cadence. But still, we were off every time.

I've been on a number of agile teams in several different companies, and I've never been on a team that missed their target every single time.

I remember once we planned a sprint that included only about 25% of what we actually thought we could handle, and we barely made it.

Sounds like they finally locked in on the right velocity. Probably should've stuck with it.

Sure. and that bridge over there will work fine for forever too, so lets ignore any maintenance or safety upgrades. IT Infrastructure is still infrastructure. Admittedly when you are talking about a TV show it's not exactly critical.
São Paulo right now, is having a problem of kids on schools not getting enough food.

Rio is just fucked up, the government right now is with a debt of about 500 million USD in unpaid wages to common state employees (teachers, cooks, janitors, etc...)

In some places, there are not even enough schools in first place.

Yet, people pump kids out like there is no tomorrow, I don't know why is that, people even make TV programs out of it, kinda like exploiting the poor by showing their bizareness on TV, like when they showed a family with 12 kids or something like that, where the older kids had to take care of newborns, and both parents combined and all welfare combined gave them in total about 300 USD month.

So how you put stop to that without resorting to extreme means? I know no viable solution.

All known plans toward that, ended being labelled as evil in some way (for example there are various theories that Swedish flu vaccines that caused diseases in young people were intentional culling of population, similarly many people believe that divorce laws, abortion, etc... is similarly some kind of evil plan to cull population).
