Why Singapore Wants Its Food Courts to Be Run by Machines, Not People
Why? My car doesn't have Bluetooth and my iPhone 7 works just fine, and charges while listening to music and everything. There are already headphone/charging splitters you can get on amazon made just for the 7 (though I'm still using the same setup as my 6).
Don't bother with a Hackintosh. I've spent time R&D iDeneb and custom Tony Mac OS X builds, and realize it's way easier (and cheaper, especially in terms of time) to simply buy an entry level Macbook Air or Pro (honestly an Air is fine enough if you're not doing video editing, I got by using one for 3+ years before I got a Pro).

To get the best deal you can either purchase from eBay (use cashback at TopCashback.com and no tax) or try to find a store that lets you use gift cards purchased at ~10+% discount. You can get gift cards at https://www.giftcardgranny.com and if you shop at a store like Best Buy you can probably get the EDU discount code with a fake EDU from https://secure.californiacolleges.edu/Home/Create_an_Account....

Hackintosh really not worth it unless you're doing serious video editing.
The problem with this is that dgregd claimed that MBP owners overpaid for their laptop. So in order to contest that claim it's natural to compare a MBP against a cheaper PC laptop to demonstrate the differences. Once you're comparing a $2k PC laptop against a $2k MBP, it's a lot harder to maintain the narrative that the MBP user overpaid.
To make credentials more secret in vault, we'd need an alternative mechanism to somehow hash what we want into the uuid in vault. Do you have a way to do that which is secure and wouldn't be broken if a box was compromised? The way I see it, if they have admin credentials to vault, whether or not it's a UUID doesn't matter, as a bad actor can figure that out later.

In our setup, credentials are stored in namespaces, which is equivalent to adding an attribute to the credential and having that attribute be namespaced.

I'm not quite sure how this helps anything except adding an extra level of indirection for both operators and users, but I'm definitely interested in learning more.
Java EE is the foundation of all Java webdev work. With the exception of a few micro-servers for (eg) testing work, all Java web servers (Tomcat/Jetty/etc) will provide implementations of the Java EE APIs for Servlets, Filters, the web.xml format, etc.

Lack of Spring support in the Community Edition is another biggie. It's the de-facto standard dependency-injection framework for Java. For regular usage, the whole "swap out components on the fly!" thing is oversold and overrated but the DI pattern does lead to easily testable code.

Finally, the lack of Javascript support is just bizarre.

Taken as a whole, the whole thing implies that all webdev work is somehow "enterprise". Like nobody ever did a CRUD app for a final project or a capstone or something?
Yeah, who'd have thought? But according to Tyler Durden (at ZeroHedge), we have the following tweet from his account:

"I far prefer Bernie Sanders to Trump but absolutely no Hillary."

Followed with:

"No SHillary"

Which in Tyler's words, "seems to sum it all up perfectly."

But go ahead and continue making assumptions about how "price blind" I am. I'm far from an Apple fanboy, but Apple is a brand that most people recognize, and yet usually stays free from the issues that Windows has among the less technologically inclined (which includes my 60-something year old landlords).

I don't know. I bought a lightning cable for my office a week ago for maybe $6. A quick search on Amazon shows an equivalent USB-C cable is actually more if I want to buy from a company with a name I recognize.
Is that different from the Algolia API? I would assume there is no reason to suppport two APIs.

The entire UI is GPU accelerated, which isn't supported in a VM. It's pretty painful to use for more than 2-3 minutes.
I run it in virtualbox on Windows. El Capitan. All you need to do is run a hacked installation image in a vm with some conservative settings. It works fine but no graphics acceleration is possible since its not officially supported.
Why would needing to purchase the hardware somehow change your opinion on hating iOS for not being more open?
Total should include time spent on various fixes, repairs, installs. As in opportunity cost.

If you value your time at zero, then yes, Windows on cheapo devices is your thing. Oh look, another Win10 upgrade, so good.

Thanks for doing this Aaron! Something to consider for the future: if you use grab-site (https://github.com/ludios/grab-site), which is a close cousin of ArchiveTeam's ArchiveBot, it'll retrieve all of the content from HackerNews (making the requisite http request and receiving the response for each URL, all of which is stored in WARC/CDX files), and store it in WARC/CDX files which can be uploaded to the Internet Archive. Those can then be integrated into the Wayback Machine by an IA admin at a later date. Something to keep in mind!

Imagine the Venn diagram of "Has a Unix environment because we deploy to Linux" and "Can run MS Office, including Outlook". The intersection has the word "Mac" in it. That's why our entire team was issued Macs (I work in a 70,000 person company) and lots of other developers choose it too.

Yeah I'm sure Jobs would be so upset to see that Apple is one of the most valuable companies in the world. I'm sure he would think the fact that Apple now makes a computer you can wear on your wrist is "meh" and the new MacBook Pro should have kept the functions keys.

I'll just put in my 2 cents. Experiments are where all the cool action is at.

Rogers is expensive, but what you're paying that 2x premium for is the cell phone towers in the rural parts of the country. The one time I saw download speeds on my cell phone approach the maximum theoretical was on a highway in the middle of nowhere in Ontario where I was probably the only person using that cell phone tower. If you live in an urban area and don't need the coverage, you can get a reasonable "unlimited" plan from WIND Mobile for $60 CAD/month.

That's about 10%, and it's all heat.

So to charge a 90kwh battery, you need roughly 99kwh of energy.

Which for me, since it's charging in my garage, the excess heat is actually kind of nice as it will keep my garage slightly warmer in the winter and thus my house as my garage is on the lower floor.

Either way, it's still WAY more efficient than any time of combustion engine. Including hydrogen. Hydrogen is kind of a wasted effort (unless we are doing fusion ;p )
The article makes a lot of hay about how they reach out to "the community" to get their feedback on product ideas... an idea which comes straight out of the world of Agile and, in principle, seems like a nice idea.

But imagine what would've happened if Apple took that approach with the first generation iPhone. How many people would've insisted they needed physical keys, or a stylus?

The reality is, sometimes the user doesn't actually know what they need, and that's where a great product visionary can step in and do something truly innovative.

At minimum, there is no authentication endpoint for HN users, which is the primary reason you haven't seen many HN apps take off in the past 2 years.

A more damning reason is that the official HN API in its current state is worse than the API it replaced! The Algolia API (https://hn.algolia.com/api) is still active, and can retrieve data with 1000 entries per page (vs. 1 at a time for the official API), and can also retrieve the comments plus text of a submission thread in a single HTTP request (the official API requires the user to perform a HTTP request to retrieve the text for each comment in a thread)
Primarily I use touch in games; often casual games gotten from the MS store.

Or scrolling when web browsing.

The writing w/ the Pen in OneNote is great; but I don't use it all that much.

Yes; the SurfaceBook still has a trackpad; I don't think a touch screen is a replacement for it.
Ok, I could not find that tweet anymore. Perhaps that is a sign of him not supporting DT. I put a question mark next to him. In fact the lack of thoughtful people supporting him is damning in itself.
I'm writing this from a Kaby Lake (7th gen) I5 running Fedora 24 and it shipped with Ubuntu (Dell XPS). It does require the newest packages but I don't see any major issues. My Skylake (6th gen) NUC I5 works well with Fedora 24 too. Mind to elaborate what specific problems you have with them?
I built a VMWare image for older version OS X -- it requires some patching but it's pretty straight forward. The performance of the VM was good enough for basic usage. I never ended up doing much with it, though.

The IBM guy said Macs are more expensive to buy but cheaper to support, because

>Only 5% of IBM's Mac employees needed help-desk support, versus 40% of PC users

Guessing what percentage of Linux users needed help desk support is left as an exercise to the reader.

The economics of a business maintaining a fleet of laptops for mostly clueless users vs a tech-savvy individual maintaining their own laptop are not the same.

Also keep in mind that IBM started a Mac enterprise integration service last year. I'll let you draw your own conclusions.
The issue is really: how much do you need to be able to send before you reach the limits of human hearing (our ability to distinguish any differences), and will wireless be able to cater to that or a reasonable approximation to that?

> Surely you've seen a speed difference with a wired internet connection compared to wireless?

yeah, but note also that what I was responding to was you saying wireless would never have as good of a sound quality. "Never" is a long time.
CarPlay is basically an authentication and media streaming station, while Android Auto is basically AndroidOs.

They are very different in terms of architecture and wouldn't be surprised to see manufacturers stick with one or another to reduce cost.
I agree generally, but think this is changing. My building has probably 10 ports, and you can get a reserved space with a charger, so you always have your spot open and a charger available.
I can't find much info on the specifics of this on the site.

I guess it will be iOS and macOS ? Does it sync via iCloud or is another server involved? If so, whose server?

Does it support multiple currencies? Custom templates? Receipts?
The water pump on an EV can be engineered to be significantly easier to maintain/replace - the one in your car is driven by the engine and usually bolted directly in to your engine. This necessitates some crazy levels of work to get to in some cases.

There's also no possibility for a backup on an IC engine, if you water pump dies, you're not running. It would be pretty easy for an electric car to have their simple water pumps cover for each other to provide a limp-home or reduced power-mode.
To clarify, I was disliking the DAS keyboard he linked having config that's crowd sourced and appears to be permanently connected.

For your keyboard I would highlight how the config only optionally uses cloud and that your settings are quite happy offline. I see cloud and keyboard or mouse and think "avoid". A couple of gaming devices and their awful connected software has caused that reaction. I'd expect some others to make similar association! :)
One year replacement cycle, why bother though? I mean of course
it still performs excellent, it's nearly brand new.

Kinda because I can. Since I buy a laptop on behalf of my company (I am a freelancer) I pay about half price in reality. Company investments are deductible from tax and VAT is returned to me. By that time I can still sell my old laptop for a good price, in effect paying very little for a brand new MBP.
Using AWS EFS to Replace Complex Clustered Filesystem Setups
I've recently discovered plantuml[0]. It does a pretty good job for tasks centered around software design, and the language is simple, yet not too limited for my purposes.

> Caution: That command took just over 30 hours to complete on my macbook. (it also killed Finder a couple times and I had to disable spotlight on the folder I was saving all the .json files to)

I had a similar job I needed to do a few months ago and used AWS lambda to massively parallelize the work.

I was able to bring down what I estimated would take my laptop 30 days down to about an hour by sharding to a ton of small instances.

Might be worth a look if you plan on updating this with any regularity.
So how do I tell what his actual positions are?

For example, when he says that vaccinations and doctors cause autism [1], how can I tell if he really believes that (which has bad implications for public health under a Trump presidency), or if it is just something over the top?

Same with climate change...how do I tell if he really believes it is a Chinese plot [1] to get us to cripple our economy, or he is just saying something over the top?

If these are just over the top exaggerations for the sake of HIGH ENERGY, and his supporters understand "that these things are over the top, but they agree with the basic sentiment behind them", could you explain just what that basic sentiment is?

You don't have to buy a new car to get a different radio. And if your car has a 3,5mm jacket (here we go! ;-), you could use the Chromecast Audio to cast to the car radio with your new iphone without that 3,5mm jacket.

You need a local wifi network for the CC, so you have to setup a wifi hotspot with your phone. Then you make the connection. The downside is that you cannot use car stereo buttons to skip to the next song. And you probably need double usb-charging for the CC and the phone. That's quite a lot of work to setup each and every drive, but for longer drives it might be a good option.
> Take accommodation, for example. My parents would never travel somewhere without first having clear plans and a pre-booked hotel reservation.

This is more down to personality than technology. I know plenty of people who traveled spontaneously 40+ years ago. Heck, some of my ancestors left their home countries and migrated thousands of miles with few possessions and no idea what they’d do at the other end.
What are you talking about? Direct from Apple it's $20, on Amazon both will run you $5-$10. But that's not the point anyways -- I'm still using a micro-usb cable that I bought before Lightning was even released. I've had to spend $0 on proprietary nonsense.

Also, another point: I have a medical device and a Kindle which both charge via micro-USB, meaning I only had to bring one charger when I traveled. Huge benefit.
that's hillarious. You asked the commentor for evidence of their claim, they provided it and you responded "ah well don't take it literally"

So there's nothing they could've said which would be right there either a) provide no evidence "ah your wrong" or b) provide evidence "ah don't take it literally"...
Yeah, on that, it's called 'Rumination' if you are looking for the google key word to research it more. I've done a bit of research on this, as I ruminate a lot too and it has always affected my sleep. Does anyone have any good tips or sources on how to stop excessive rumination and just fall asleep? The only good things I have found are an exhausting amount of exercise or beer.
My car is pre-loaded with full mapping data for all of Canada and the US.

I suppose I could achieve the same effect by clearing up space on my phone, figuring out exactly where I'm going, grabbing offline data for it, praying that I don't ever drive out of that area, deleting the offline data after my trip...

Or, I could just use my car's built in maps.
They seem happy to do this if they think there is value. I'm not sure what the value of USB-C is on the iPhone. The negatives are pretty obvious. The positive mostly seems to be that they can share cables with Android phones, which I cannot imagine is something execs at Apple care about.

Someone else raised an interesting point about docks. The lightning connection is designed to be strong enough to support a phone in a doc. I'm pretty sure this is not a design consideration for USB-C given how no one seems to care about Android docks.
I like this a lot. I didn't even read how it works, and was able to input some Chinese characters I know. Incredibly intuitive.
> "a.b".split(".") and ["a", "b"].join(".")

Seems like a minor point to me, really. Sure, join could've been a member function of the list class, but that would prevent applying it to arbitrary iterables, no? In other words, delimiter.join(items) is more general than items.join(delimiter), because in the latter join must be a member function of the class of items or its ancestor class, and you won't be able to apply it to other iterable objects.

I haven't had much interaction with Ruby, but from my limited experience the syntax felt strictly less intuitive than Python. The only other languages where syntax felt more intuitive to me than Python is the ML family (with derivatives like OCaml, etc).

It was intended to replace the Algolia API (mentioned around discussion on the original announcement thread: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8422599)

You'll want to use the OpenStreetView dataset for that, which has a much more liberal license for collected images than Mapillary. (OSV is a direct competitor to Mapillary, with OSV being sponsored by Navteq)

You might also consider mining Flickr by geotag, constraining to CC licenses that allow for use.
This doesn't change your overall argument, but Image Capture on the Mac will let you get your pictures without Photos or Itunes. I'm DONE with Photos and had to figure this out. It's not a great app, but it is simple.
Just buy a used Mac, save some cash. I'm running a mid 2012 and the things still super fast.
I've seen a few VW builtin GPS so crappy we ended up gmaps'ing over 3G. One guy was a working cab driver.
As a car driver, I've never taken or wanted to take a long road trip in any car. If it's more than 2 hours away, we fly or take a train. As an EV driver, the DCFC stations in population centers are what's needed. They're what let me drive to the next city over in my Leaf to shop, eat or visit people. The companies building these things are putting them where the demand is.
67% of electricity comes from fossil fuel.

Efficiency of coal plant is ~ 33%

Natural gas is about ~40%.

So in reality you are getting 90% of ~35% or 31.5%.
Eric Schmidt Working Directly with Clinton Campaign
Let's check out if this will become hidden from HN listings as well (despite not being flagged!).

This email from Schmidt recommends the Clinton campaign hire "low paid permanent employees".

But there is a more interesting part:

Key is the development of a single record for a voter that aggregates all that is known about them.

[...]

For each voter, a score is computed ranking probability of the right vote.
Analytics can model demographics, social factors and many other attributes
of the needed voters. Modeling will tell us what who we need to turn out
and why, and studies of effectiveness will let us know what approaches work
well. Machine intelligence across the data should identify the most
important factors for turnout, and preference.

It should be possible to link the voter records in Van with upcoming
databases from companies like Comcast and others for media measurement
purposes.

[...]

Quite a bit of software is to be developed to match digital identities with
the actual voter file with high confidence. The key unit of the campaign
is a "voter", and each and every record is viewable and updatable by
volunteers in search of more accurate information.

In the case where we can't identify the specific human, we can still have a
partial digital voter id, for a person or "probable-person" with attributes
that we can identify and use to target. As they respond we can eventually
match to a registered voter in the main file. This digital key is
eventually matched to a real person.

This is great advice for a Canadian who needs cellphone coverage. This is not great advice for an American who is visiting. (The best advice for that situation is ordering a pre-paid SIM card. Or not using your phone for navigation.)
No. If you go further up int he discussion, you'll not that I expected Apple to improve specs and evolve their 'pro' computer, instead they're trying desperately to appear like they're revolutionizing.
If they had root access they could probably encrypt the whole drive, filesystem and all.
