So you're looking at ~ $50/mo.

I rarely listen to music while programming, but when I do, it's usually Megadeth for trivial work or Ashkenazy playing Chopin - Bercuse for complex work. Possibly swapping Sigur Ros () for Chopin.

I search on YouTube for a URL and throw it in YouTube repeater.
"...what is remarkable is that, in the party of Jackson and Bryan and Roosevelt, smiling financiers now seem to stand on every corner, constantly proffering advice about this and that."

The author can't possibly be this naive. I am not surprised at all; in fact, I'm glad that this is being aired. Yes, the Republican Party has been the "money in politics" whipping boy since Reagan, but it shouldn't be news to anybody that there is plenty of money propping up the Democratic Party as well. Obama did not get elected on hope alone.

I personally don't have serious qualms with a Jeffersonian paternalistic republic, so long as I have the power to vote the "parents" out of power when they fail to represent my interests.
Dude, grow up. You do not have to live under govt rule, if you choose to follow an ideology that would rather see government not exist, you can and should fully adhere to your ideology and move to such an area. They do exist in Latin America and other places, and you are not living your ideology or helping it in any way if you won't support it in the most basic of ways.
Could you provide some youtube link showing what you like to listen?
I think pretty good one is security. If you are running your own mail server on your own domain, you need to figure out how to secure the domain and DNS against hijacking. Google provides some practical security here. It is well known that there's no human support available for Gmail, which means there's no support people who could be fooled by Mallory's social engineering skills.

And of course if you took a bit wider view to the security, it includes also being able to access the data. While Gmail has probably had some issues in the past, I still feel it is more reliable than the internet connection which I have at home. This becomes a factor especially when I need to access my emails while travelling (and there's nobody at home sorting out possible connection problems).
My only experience is with w3m. It's not bad, the keybindings take some learning, but that would be the case for any terminal web browser. It even has an extension that permits you to display images (if you have an X session running - which I usually don't, so I haven't tried it).

My primary usage is for programming sessions - I have a text-only Arch install (parallel to my normal Ubuntu) that I use for programming. Usually, when I need a browser in that environment it is to look up software questions, and for that, w3m is perfectly sufficient.

I would not use it as a regular browser though. It's fine for HN, StackExchange, Wikipedia and other text-heavy websites, but unfortunately way too much of the Web is built on graphics and JS for a browser like w3m to be a feasible day-to-day alternative to Firefox et al.

The question was offensive. The teacher asked and very carefully answered a question about demography, using IQ tests not as an assessment of racial superiority but as an epidemiological indicator. Here, the the question is "maybe black people are just problem passengers". It's a pipe bomb thrown into the conversation, not an attempt to get closer to the truth.
We (http://www.opencagedata.com) are sending such updates. Only 3-4 metrics, less blog articles and more open thinking about future plans, priorities, conferences we attend. 6-8 paragraphs. We ask for feedback but at the same time stress that it's optional.

We get praise for being open, honest, on-time (once per month) and even send updates if there isn't anything new.

We're self-funded so strictly we don't have to send anybody any updates (other than the tax office).
I usually listen to a set on SoundCloud. Progression of the set instead of one song completely stopping and next song playing helps me from getting distracted. I prefer either trance or techno These songs being instrumental seems to keep me focused.
CDNs are simply good architecture -- in any good system, you have multiple tiers of storage, and web systems are no different. Multiple tiers of storage providing caching over intermediate links which may be saturated -- this is a pretty common model for logistics whether you're talking data or packages.

Also, all of the companies you list purchase interconnects or CDN services from large ISPs. So Amazon has a datacenter in Chicago that has a direct fiber connection to Comcast and Verizon networks, for example, that hosts a copy of its CDN endpoints. CDNs are ridiculously easy to build these days; I helped design the build-out of a CDN for a major ISP and we just used off-the-shelf open source software. The hardest part of the project was getting the purchase orders through my client's procurement process. In my mind, that means the engineering here is so uninteresting as to be commoditized -- which means that this is a business problem, not a technical one.

So transit is disappearing, but direct interconnects to big ISPs are just taking their place. On one hand, it's hard to argue against -- it's the right technical solution and there isn't a better option. But at the same time, it concentrates control to a worrying degree, especially as media, telecom and software continue to converge.
I recently discovered the work of Laurie Spiegel, whom I now have great respect for. My personal favorite song by her is the opener from her only album "The Expanding Universe":

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rN3uYELX8iQ

Regardless of whether you fall in love with the music, it's worth knowing about her as a pioneer of computing. And yes, she also happens to be a woman.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laurie_Spiegel

> Best known for her use of interactive and algorithmic logic as part of the compositional process, Spiegel worked with Buchla and Electronic Music Laboratories synthesizers and subsequently many early, often experimental and prototype-level music and image generation systems, including GROOVE system (1973–1978), Alles Machine (1977) and Max Mathews's RTSked and John R. Pierce tunings (1984, later known as the Bohlen–Pierce scale) at Bell Labs, the alphaSyntauri for the Apple II (1978–1981), the McLeyvier (1981–1985).
Don't you need it for any kind of mass provisioning of Macs in any case?
I've used high-DPI displays under Linux, and they consistently work fine.

GNOME autodetects a high-DPI display and scales well by default, and all modern applications handle this as well. (If you run old non-toolkit applications, they may not scale automatically.) I did find that Firefox doesn't seem to autodetect high-DPI displays, but if you open about:config and set layout.css.devPixelsPerPx to 1.4 (for 1440p) or 2 (for 4k), Firefox works great. (Adjust to taste.)
Do you have any recommendations on some high-energetic k-pop?
Not every investment will be successful either, as any person with a basic sense of business will know.
Also, modern JavaScript is little-endian and PowerPC is big-endian.
It might be an enormous not-so-organized codebase without much review about what is going in.
In that case taking it apart and open sourcing parts is going to be a massive effort.
I thought it's been understood for a while that the question isn't what you desire or how you behave in groups/alone, but rather "How do you recharge your emotional batteries?"

When I'm in a social setting - with friends or strangers alike, I am gregarious and outgoing. People are shocked when I claim to be an introvert due to my social skills. But the reality is that while I love them and make the most of them, social situations exhaust me. Too many in a row and I dream of a weekend when I can do nothing but play video games, read, or watch TV/Movies.

On the other hand I know people with roughly the same intelligence and social skills as myself who are the opposite. They get antsy on their own, and crave socialization and are clearly the most relaxed in a crowd.

Ideal election system > paper count with representatives of the party > actually existing electronic voting.

The problems of actual existing electronic voting are a microcosm of bigger problems. We get insecure, ineffective voting machines because procurement is difficult and tends to be captured by lobbyists.

Condorcet superiority seems not all that important in practice: http://www.fairvote.org/why-the-condorcet-criterion-is-less-... , and if you have suitable multi-member constituencies for STV then you tend to end up with a couple of "extremists" and a large group of moderates in the middle.

Again, let's not let the best be the enemy of the good.

The state of war against spam
Well, you would think that a community of hackers that are focused on, you know, building stuff would be supportive and encouraging of others who like tinkering and building stuff. It's the way to keep the momentum and keep newbies in the ecosystem rather than scaring them off via derision or plain ignoring them.

Strange as it may seem even Musk/Jobs etc. didn't create their masterpieces the very first time out of thin air. They would have started on a project that would be considered plain/pointless/boring/embarrassing, but they built upon that experience and platform. Something to remember when talking to the young creators who will be continuing their work in the future.
What do Google, Akamai, and Xilinx have in common?
Thanks!

To give you an idea of the kind of freedom you get, I am actually French, used to live in Lyon, and married a Japanese woman. When I reached 100% of remote work, I told my wife "say, wanna go live in Japan?". When I told my clients I was moving, so they should expect a 1-2 weeks of downtime on my side, I had an important client in Australia. His reaction was "Cool! Our timezones will be closer!"
Are these problems you face with Gmail? I don't regularly use Gmail, and I think my uptime is about a year. There is a spam filter in OS X Server, but I don't know how it compares to Gmail.
They have just completely given up on anything except small business. The complete lack of a real MacPro or Xserve is abysmal. And the new feature is just an iCloud cache -- something only small business might use.

The idiocy of how painful it is to manage a pool of ipads on a corporate network is the worse part. In particular because they can actually be locked down and secure and hence a perfect corporate device.

The bizarre tale of President Nixon and his Basic Income bill
You're right, I'll be more verbose.

I was looking forward to this event as I was considering getting a new machine. However the new machines are full of compromises I would need to do (usual things I hear a lot are "oh you can remap Escape, you can buy a dongle, you dont need that much ports etc.")

I am a touch-typist (and I use the F keys), so the machine with Touchbar is no-go for me. What's left? The non-touchbar machine, with two ports. I will omit the thing I would need a bunch of adapters from USB-C to anything.

If I look on my current setup right now, that would be a charger (1st port), a monitor (2nd port), a mouse (3rd), a mobile device for development (4th). Ocasinally I use an external disk too (5th). So if I am doing the math correctly, I am missing 2-3 ports. I guess that would mean some extra adapters to be able to connect all of this. All of them on one side of the laptop (including headphones). That's just mess.
Classical for me. Typically Baroque i.e. Bach. If I'm not in a classical mood, then anything electronic without lyrics - Tangerine Dream, Jean Michel Jarre, Vangelis etc.

It's primarily hobbyist that use SD cards. Of the subset of Mac users that have Macs, how many of them actually use the SD card slot? I'd imagine a very small percentage and they probably have the data to back it. Most people just shoot on their phones. Flickr data backs this. Rank 1, 2 are all camera phones.

X-Gravitas: Very Little Indeed
An entire page-long article, with no details! Amazing.

While having more awareness about cybersecurity is never a bad thing, I dread to see how this money is spent.
To tack onto this, this same "everybody knows each other behind closed doors" is actually applauded in the U.S. Senate. Collegiality leads to measured politics and compromise, i.e. getting shit done.
except for the lack of server-class hardware to run it on... AFAIK the mac mini is the closest they have in that regard, and it doesn't seem to be a core focus for them in terms of updates.

I'd have thought most smaller companies that don't want to do cloud hosting, would be better off with a NAS system, like the ones from Synology..
"I’ve never used the SD card" - stopped reading right after that. Most common use case in my family is to plug SD card from DSLR and import into photos and view it in all the retina glory. I still don't get why was the need to get rid of SD card port .
Someone would have to start tracking this stuff to have proper evidence: I'm not sure the studies have been done.

However, I don't think it is unfounded. For some years we've had a congress set on refusing things Obama is for - even if they are wanted by the people. They are presently intent on appealing so-called 'Obamacare' instead of sitting down and working on it to make it better. They seem to have lost the ability to, you know, make compromises. They seem bent on un-doing anything that the other party has done.

These are the same folks that will legislate things so that they look good, but then fail to fund it - basically rendering it useless. And i'm pretty sure things like this happen at city and state levels as well. It certainly appears so at times, anyway.
Something must be done! This is something!
Yes! Excellent! Thanks for the link!
Very cool. Is it possible to run it in VirtualBox/VM Ware?
Why is anyone running WordPress anymore.? So many better options.100s if not 1,000s. The fact that you need elaborate guides to host it one of the most common hosting providers is yet another example. It's junk. Time to move on.

Edit: and the down votes are why this piece of garbage lives on. Please stop trying to hide how awful WordPress is. We all know it's terrible. Just because you work on it for a living doesn't make it right for you to publicly lie about it and down vote.
Confirmation bias turning HN into an anti-Apple echo chamber of niche, subjective rants is really getting old (...and it's not even been a week).

As an iOS developer, I've got the experience to know this kind of drivel doesn't reflect reality. More then that though, I simply find it amusing how people here rush to judgment about a product they've never used, then circle the wagons. I guess it's not surprising, developers and entrepreneurs tend to be god-awful at understanding the needs of end users, tale as old as time. What's more concerning is that despite over 40 years of technical revolutions, attention to minor detail wins, and adoption/consideration of community input, industry "professionals" won't give Apple even the slightest hint of the benefit of the doubt.

But I do wonder about the empathy and humanity of people who say that Apple "doesn't care." They has over 125,000 employees worldwide, many of them hardware engineering, open-source software, and design veterans who know and are passionate about the work they do. Passionate enough to know about tradeoffs you make when shipping a successful product. Marginalizing these people simply because you've decided to switch to Desktop Linux reflects really poorly on you, not on the Touch Bar.

Nor does it get anything done, as time and time again Cupertino shows that the haters have less memory than a Nomad and are lame. Meanwhile, scores of developers will use the tbMBP, Xcode, and even iTunes Connect to do tons of productive things with their time. Maybe think of that next time you decide to lower the discourse +1 on every damn article.
Can you list a few? I'm genuinely curious which ones you consider so much better.

Are there any plans yet on how to use Replicated on existing on-premise cluster installations, like DC/OS or Kubernetes?

After having a look at the installation shell script, Replicated itself seems to run in containers and therefore should be deployable on DC/OS or the likes if I understand correctly...
They're concerned about not getting their 30% monopoly share of app store purchases if people use the web instead of native, not to mention the lock-in effect of native apps.

Apple is the new Microsoft (but worse than MS ever was).
Is Ethereum similar to Bitcoin? Well, sort of, but not really
This definitely highlights the importance of networking. I used to hate the concept that it's all about "who you know", but at some point I accepted it - it is way too common a trope to just be a toxic symptom of one particular culture.

None of what we see here is surprising. People with a lot of money are spending it on what they want, often doing what they can to make the world a better place (at least for them and their friends). They work to resolve issues; if I was a billionaire to the Democrats, I would be pretty upset that a Democrat was trashing billionaire donors - don't bite the hand that feeds you.

Having been in something resembling government in college (elected + appointed members) it is easy to see why all of this happens. It is really hard to make an election truly about what the people wants because the people typically aren't well informed, don't have good voter turnout, and don't make rational decisions. That leads to lots of tricks for gaming the system, which then leads to the need to do backdoor power brokerage and of course interest in protecting what is already in place. Incompetent politicians look bad enough to lay people - imagine being in government and then seeing people you've worked with for years replaced by them.

If you've gotten to this point and you still hate the system and think it sucks, I sympathize. Ultimately though, what you're seeing here is the best effort of a group of people to do the best with what they have, which is a fundamentally broken system. A first step towards fixing it might be making election results not a product of gerrymandering, targeted get out the vote campaigns, and media buys.
The machine could just give you the UUID of a previous vote for the same candidate, and change your vote to another candidate. Using a HMAC with a personal secret key would work.

Do you have anything to say about EFS and WordPress (or other PHP CMS that are basically designed for a single instance?)

Latency on stat() - PHP is often a oop-monster these days with thousands of fs reads as it loads the code? (there are certainly ways to dodge that overhead though).

Have you seen the filesystem stall for any reason? Any caveats with concurrent writers (such as cache/ directories or generated images with deterministic paths etc).

You say without frustrating patches - are there any general limitations with using EFS?

Have you used self-managed NFS for the same purpose before? Any comparison with EFS?
> Another problem is that a lot of Linux-related communities are very hostile towards proprietary software, let alone proprietary software with DRM that requires a subscription. So, they will run into anything from unwillingness to help with problems in base libraries to people who will sue them to show that they violated the GPL in some way.

DRM is in it self hostile to the user. Never seen anyone against subscription based software or willingness to pay for good software in those Linux-related communities that you describe. If anything, in those communities people wouldn't pirate you're software as much as Windowse users. In my experience Linux users are more understanding that making good software is hard work and they appreciate it more.

Why is okay for Adobe suing people for license violation and not vice versa?
What about a Mac Mini? It doesn't address all of your concerns but could be a useful solution.
