Given Microsoft's increasing emphasis on businesses, it makes sense that this is more enterprise-focused.

The product itself doesn't seem much different from Apple's Automator. Microsoft's marketing of Flow, however, is better at demonstrating the product's power. Apple never quite did that.

I recommend the Ergodox wholeheartedly. You can put arrows wherever you want. I have a layer always set up so I hold down a thumb key and the home row becomes arrows. As a touch-typist, I can move the cursor and select text (holding "shift") without moving my hand. I'm using Dvorak layout, but if it was Qwerty, my (right hand) home row goes from this:

Y U I O

H J K L

To:

Esc PgUp Up PgDn

Home Left Down Right End

It is totally natural now for me, I get frustrated being on a keyboard without this functionality.

Odd, I couldn't get that to format correctly, is there anyway to define a code block in hacker news markup?

I blame consumers for the lack of (reasonably-priced/available) innovative options in keyboards.

Everyone who notices my Ergodox thinks I'm the one who's odd, while I think anybody who would use a horrible membrane keyboard for 8 hours a day at work without yearning for something better is the one who is odd.
I'm sure Microsoft has a bug-bounty. Google looks for bugs in competitors software and then blackmails the developers with disclosure, irregardless of that bug bounty. That isn't white-hat at all.
If you spend all your time docked, why do you care about a 15" screen? I've got a 15" MBP precisely because I do a lot of work out of conference rooms, hotel rooms, etc. Traditional "road warrior" stuff. Battery life is a huge premium there.
Well, I can't speak for the ones here, but the three times I tried to demo c9 to my team (at the time) c9 was down, partially up and/or really buggy. Given this was a few years ago now, but that really soured me on the idea.
If you're imagining that autopilot is anything more than driver assist technology, then there already is numerous malfunctions, autopilot fucks up regularly. With or without NHTSAs involvement, Autopilot (or Comma one) wasn't designed to be safety critical autonomous driving technology. NHTSA has about as much business regulating it as it does regulating whether or not you can hang dice on your rear view mirror.

I think you would be a fan of these two guys [1] [2] who championed phonemic spelling. And in fact, Vuk is credited with getting Yugoslav writing to be phonemic.

A common phrase used in Croatia to describe how to write something is to write it "by the Wolf" (since vuk = wolf), indicating that it is supposed to be read as written. This leads to transliterating foreign words in a phonetic manner where one doesn't need to know a particular foreign language to pronounce the word correctly. From your example, to write water "by the Wolf" we would write "votr." :-)

Bug bounties are usually for unexploited vulnerabilities that you find yourself. It sounds to me like google didn't discover this vulnerability on their own, they discovered malware that was exploiting it. I'm not sure if a bug bounty would pay out for a vulnerability you didn't discover.
I researched and followed the rules, and I'm happy with the results. I got a few e-mails, comments on this thread, and tweets where people thanked me for the inspiring read and said they'd do more to share their work, so there are mutual benefits in play.

As someone who's gone from to-do list tool to todo list tool, I have now settled on paper and pencil. I have a little notebook I carry around with me. Every evening I jot down my "shippables" for the next day into a new page. I have a separate page for long term goals like "get a gardener over" that I review constantly. And that just works really. Kind of gtd and part of another method I can't recall :D
As you indirectly suggest, it really depends who the user is.

Especially when you say these methods beat pronunciation-based methods, I think it's important to qualify that as something that depends on the specific user.

For a touch typist and an only semi-literate (emphasis on semi) non-native speaker, the ability to go straight to touch typing of pinyin with absolutely no learning curve is a HUGE advantage over other systems. By contrast, this system does not leverage my existing typing ability at all, so its ultimate speed is gated by the fact that I will never bother to use and learn it. For users like me, the same is true of other such systems.

The point is just that theoretical speed comparisons are moot for some people if practical matters make one system more useful.

Speaking of moot, it seems to me that all our points may be moot as voice input is going to be an ever growing proportion of how text is entered. Especially in Chinese languages.

It sucks they didn't use the opportunity to make battery life better, but at least on the 13" non-touchbar it seems like they didn't make it worse: http://www.laptopmag.com/reviews/laptops/macbook-pro-13-inch. 12 hours is the same as the 2015 13" rMBP on that test.
The i5-7200U and i7-7500U both have DDR4 and a limit of 32GB. What kind of U CPU does the MacBook Pro has?
Hopefully you helped them out enough to be a principal stakeholder.
yeah, it does eval(); no vuln, just a specific design choice that breaks the security model of the browser plugins.

Basically the plugin operates at a higher level than the regular page DOM, so by running angular from a plugin you gain the ability to both execute (arbitrary) javascript from the page but also read/write to the disk. very bad. cannot be fixed. arbitrary code execution by design.
Yep, battery life is improved but hey don't let that get in the way of Apple hate lol.
Notice how your comment is both content-less and just an ad-hominem.

You know you don't like Gruber because he's so into Apple, but not any actual complaint with anything specific you have, or what makes you think "his site would be dead if Apple didn't give him the occasional morsel of inside knowledge" (since he rarely if ever breaks news stories -- he usually posts his analysis after the fact).
I share quite a bit of what I make or think. It almost always is rewarded with indifference or mild to extreme hostility. The best I can hope for if I am lucky is a tepid level of upvotes (perhaps one or two dozen) and maybe one comment.

But I continue to post links and comments on reddit and Hacker News no matter how much hate or indifference I receive. Sometimes I doubt that I should bother. But I do anyway.
I remember seeing the original post[1] when it was created. Exactly as you say, there wasn't a good service to just host images.

"I got fed up with all the other image hosts out there so I made my own. It doesn't force you to compress your images, and it has neat things like crop, resize, rotate, and compression from 10-100. It's my gift to you. Let's not see anymore imageshack/photobucket around here ;)

I'll be listening if anyone has some suggestions.

EDIT: The server was moved off of shared hosting after about 4 hours of release. It's now on a dedicated server with a 100mb port."

I often think about this post and imgur as an example of how an exceedingly simple utility of the Internet can easily acquiesce, and succumb, to the advertising and marketing forces that be[2].

Yes, and that's probably why it'll be successful. There is a lot of money to be made in taking <consumer facing thing> and adding enterprise integration.

I mean, look at Slack. It's "merely" IRC + enterprise integration, right?
How does that make it a "smoke screen"? Apple wants both thinner laptops AND good battery life, and they are not going to compromise on either. So until the LP memory they need is out, they are NOT going the machine thicker (not even "as thick as the old model") to compensate just so they can put 32GB which few of their users are gonna buy anyway.

I'd run into Burke's observation concerning insurance and finance and simply found it fascinating. Been looking for a place to drop that since.

The case raises the question olueand risk of standardisation and institutions. It's one thing to establish proven norms for acting, but if you don't also incorporate some means for trialing new concepts, ventures, ideas, etc., these also make you hidebound. That's part of the problem that seems to have faced China, getting to the question of innovation and the Industrial Revolution (and another HN post).

In the case of industrialisation, lathes, machining tools, standardised fasteners and couplings, all helped bring about mass manufacture. At the same time, they're probably making it harder for some improvements to get out -- say, arguably, Linux as a mass operating system (desktop), or alternatives to the QWERTY keyboard.

Choices where there's not an obviously superior choice, but you have to choose one are even more captivating -- what side of the road do you drive on? Clearly, that's a case where you cannot leave it up to individual volition, where you must determine at the very least a regional or roadway standard, and where simultaneously choosing both options doesn't work.

I really ought to collect a set of standards-of-convention which operate similarly -- instances where a choice must be made but the initial option is arbitrary. Downstream, you end up with path-dependencies, lock-in, sunk-cost, familiarty, network effects, and more.

Hrm....

All of them. It's actually illegal to sell a PC laptop with less than 32GB RAM. That's why people are so mad at Apple. They found a loophole by claiming their laptop doesn't count as a PC.
While it might assuage some kneejerk skepticism like this, I don't think they're obligated to omit that Chrome has mitigations in place when disclosing a vulnerability.
Not quite the same thing. iPhone gets updated. The Apple II didn't release "Apple II v2,v3 etc" (as far as I know anyway).

And the iPhone isn't a single product, but has all sorts of dependencies via the app store and iTunes. Not to mention the built-in features like the camera, maps, AI, and whatever else it can do natively. In fact, modern smartphones can do so much, consumers probably find it hard to keep up with it all.

And finally, if I were Apple, I'd release an advertisement along the lines of "fire-proof gloves not required" or something clever with a subtle dig at the Samsung disaster which undoubtedly strengthened iPhone sales.
Oh - the "it" in the second sentence is referring to the thingy in the video, not Google. Bit ambiguous, just noticed, can't edit my post now.

The original vision of the browser was a cross-platform vehicle for delivering applications over the network. It's not just an idea, it was always the explicit goal and WASM is the last piece of the puzzle.

Java was supposed to be key to that goal, but it didn't match the capabilities of the network and processing speed of the time. As painful as HTML, CSS, and JavaScript are to use, they actually worked.

Compile-to-JS, NaCL, and asm.js culminated in a realistic blueprint for how to build a low-level network-oriented runtime. Combined with increases to network speed (the average webpage is the size of the original DOOM) WASM is finally doable.

On the plus side, holy shit we can do (almost) anything! WASM will also mean outside money pumped into improving the browser runtime, such as Ethereum's migration to WASM.

Some of the parent comment is tongue-in-cheek, but you can already see one downside: fragmentation. Any good API gets screwed up in committee, so we end up with the most bare-bones and verbose implementation possible (WebComponents, IndexedDB, etc). Since they are so painful to use we end up importing 3rd party libraries which entails incompatibility. The content itself also becomes more opaque, as we can't just parse HTML to figure out the contents of the page.

That being said, holy-shit we can do anything!
Very true. I indeed found the lack of visibility into per-message information very painful when I was building this. One way I tried to alleviate the issue was providing a consumer "callback" to make it easier for users to plug their own code in to handle job failures (like your example of using SQS).

I've also thought about reserving a topic + consumer group specifically for failed jobs and bake the retry logic into KQ itself. But that's an area I must explore more.

I'm not sure if I understand what you are saying about batching consumers. What do you mean by batching in this context? Thanks for your input.
Same for the razer stealth unfortunately, unless you get the pro which is quite the step up in price, near $3k IIRC?
Microsoft's attempt at Zapier?
Ah yes, the endless holy war over what constitutes "responsible" disclosure and the concern over who benefits more, the attackers or the attackees?

In this case, the exploit was being actively used in the wild. That means bad actors already had access to this and it was the users who were in the dark. Now it may be added to the "toolkits" of scripters and people who buy exploit frameworks but the people who do real damage were already using it according to Google.
TL;DR: Chrome is taking a leaf out of PHP's silently-and-confusingly-make-it-work book, and stripping the "//" in "cache://".
I was in college before I learned how hyperbole is supposed to be pronounced. I'd never actually heard a person say that (it's a little beyond typical small-town Maine vocabulary), so I worked for years under the assumption that it was hyper-bowl, rather than hi-per-boll-ee. I knew hyper, and I knew what the bole of a tree was...
You're absolutely right. I'd rather have preferred a few different responses, such as including multiple mitigating strategies, even if they're user actions such as browsing only trusted sites until a patch is released.

That said, even if the wording was "Browsers such as Chrome which block win32k.sys system calls using the Win32k lockdown mitigation on Windows 10 prevent exploitation of this sandbox escape vulnerability," I would've given them a partial pass.
Could someone please summarize this?
> There were major problems with every demo I saw of the product.

Doesn't surprise me, after reading http://www.bloomberg.com/features/2015-george-hotz-self-driv...: "Instead of the hundreds of thousands of lines of code found in other self-driving vehicles, Hotz’s software is based on about 2,000 lines."

In general I like the approach of using deep-learning instead of complex hardcoded rules (see the article above for more details), but even with deep-learning you're going to need a complex ruleset in order to deal with the edge-cases.

Getting a prototype of a self-driving car working is probably much less than 5% of the overall amount of work that's required. Getting the car respond correctly to the long tail of edge cases is the other 95% of the work.
I would say that, strangely enough, the Federal Aviation Administration is to blame for the 16GB RAM limit. I posted an explanation why here hours ago: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12841293
"coordinated" disclosure is a wonderful thing in a vacuum, but when people are actively being exploited then what? You silently wait to announce until the vendor is ready? How many people get owned in that time frame? How many people could mitigate in the meantime if they're tipped off to what the bad guys already know and use?

There's no "right" answer because this is a holy war that's been going on for a very, very long time now.
I'm guessing this produces more power than a diagnostic x-ray machine by many orders of magnitude? The article talks about a 250 Watt source needed.
> Saying code made for a server (like most existing unix code!) is fine for IOT feels wrong,

There was a time when people ran Linux/SunOS/Ultrix/etc. with tiny amounts of RAM and swap. It's not unusual for an embedded device to have 8, 16, 32 MiB, or more RAM available. Many traditional *nix programs can run unchanged on such hardware.
It doesn't need any Microsoft asset in the pipeline.
I don't know if IFTTT should be worried –or happy– about this.
