Otherwise, why make it complicated? They'd just offer $X.

The reason that this is done is because investment banks tend to have larger revenue swings than many other businesses. Due to this, they want to be able to more easily adjust their costs (of which people are a huge %) relatively easily. It's much easier to adjust bonuses up and down than base salaries.

While I agree that the OS X APIs were superior at the time, it is important to remember that Windows was and still is an enterprise OS, first and foremost, and this is a big mess. So this slowed progress a lot. Modern Windows UI frameworks are good too, but they are used very seldom, or if used, often used incorrectly. Since high DPI displays have been rare and expensive, I think also developers have very little awareness of the problems, and much less will to work on it. Linux is in the same boat.
My MBP periodically crashes any app that tries to invoke an open/save dialog. Its great when I try to download a file, accidentally make preview think I edited something, or try to save a document.

You can pick individual bugs to complain about all day. Every OS has plenty. Sorry to hear about your issues with the mail app though.
As most new apps start to be built on UWP that issue will go away.

Also, I am not sure what DPI issues you're facing but I have run W10 on my rMBP for quite some time and it's been thoroughly pleasant. Perhaps your issues are fuzzy text due to mixed DPI, multi monitor setup?

I don't think the cases are meaningfully similar; petraeus deliberately and knowingly gave highly classified information including current combat information and identities of covert agents to an unauthorized person whose intended use was writing a book (he was also having a affair with her at the time, but that's less relevant to the security-related offense); the FBI concluded they had evidence to pursue a felony charge under the Espionage Act, but they ended up getting him to plea to a lesser charge of mishandling classified information.
This would be a moronic interviewing technique, but it would also be unsurprising for Google.
Your cynicism does not match up with the historical behavior of investment banks towards their employees. But yes, if you think this way you should definitely not ever go work for one.

In fact you probably shouldn't work with anyone else because whenever you do that your success is, at least in some ways, tied in with their success. Best to work alone all by yourself where you don't ever have to trust anyone else.
Why mysqldump instead of Percona's xtrabackup/innobackupex? I was under the impression that the latter had a lot of advantages and have been considering switching, wondering if there is a good reason not to.

I always get annoyed at how many things want a system tray icon now. There's no reason for my mouse to need a piece of software that lives in the system tray. There's no reason for my IM client to live in the system tray. There's no reason for my video card driver to have an updater service that lives in the system tray. It's ridiculous. Of the 12 things in my system tray, I've only ever clicked on three of them. It's infuriating.
Yeah, but it's still Windows, with all the pain it entails. Why throw off one boot on your neck for another?
Most people don't realize this. Most people will just read popular science articles in the media. They will never read discussions on HN/Reddit/Twitter.
The two biggest detraction points are completely valid:

1) The need to install ANY (non-standard) software (by definition -everyone- should already be able to use it).

2) The need for users to manage their own keys.

I envision a solution to point 1 is making it a /feature/ of every OS to implement the required software for the open protocol. Prototype on BSD/Linux, get MacOS to ship slick versions of the protocol, and use THAT to club Microsoft over the head for also shipping support with Windows.

Paired with point 1, smart USB attached keys. End users should think of that as their signature and their 'mark' for signing official legal things and literally inking a document with blood.

The USB key should at least have a few lights as an indicator and a couple of buttons.

It should be easy for the user to:

* Allow it to AUTHENTICATE a provided datastream.

* Allow it to decode and provide the unlock key for a datastream back to the computer.

* Allow it to provide a signature for a datastream.

I order those in the least to most trusted operations it should perform.

It might, for a smarter device, support multiple keys or different trust levels of keys.

With the above two frameworks in place all other problems become /far/ easier to solve, and the user experience will be much better (so it'll actually /happen/).
IIRC Instagram released a plugin for Bandit (the OpenStack static analyzer for Python) that does this.
Upgrading to Windows 10 enterprise/Pro allows turning off of such creepy telemetry.

I understand they probably want to understand how users are using touch that they may not have taught yet but it should not be forced on regular Windows 10 users.

Still, on regular windows 10 home devices, tools like Spybot's anti-beacon seem to be at least somewhat effective in minimizing such calls home.

Documentation is, just like all things, only sometimes useful. I dont see much value in designing your entire platform around documentation. There are plenty of instances where heavy documentation is a complete waste of time.
The non-touchbar model also has a 5kwh larger battery.

Context (looks like my more descriptive title was edited and shortened):

Lenovo's consumer ultrabooks have Intel RAID controllers that are BIOS locked into a proprietary single-drive RAID ("fake RAID") mode, we confirmed this through REing:

Linux does not support Intel's new proprietary single-drive RAID mode; many users were upset when they purchased these new Yoga ultrabooks and found out that they could not install Linux on them -- Linux would not detect the drive at all, despite all sorts of effort.

The Intel RAID controllers DO support backwards-compatible AHCI and NVMe modes, usually you can change this in the BIOS (on almost ALL PCs, that is the case).

Lenovo initially promised a BIOS update to add the setting back in, but kept stalling.

After several months, community members reverse engineered Lenovo's BIOS and found that had Lenovo added a single if/goto statement to the OEM BIOS source code that jmp'd out of the code that displayed the setting: Lenovo's BIOS was modified to intentionally remove the SATA controller mode setting.

Another user JTAG flashed their BIOS themselves with a patch to re-enable the SATA controller setting. After changing the drive back out of RAID mode, said user confirmed and showed proof that Linux booted, installed, and otherwise worked fine.

One user asked a Lenovo Rep about installing Linux, and he/she responded, "This system has a Signature Edition of Windows 10 Home installed. It is locked per our agreement with Microsoft."

Forum members and Redditors got (understandably) angry.

Lenovo started mass releasing PR damage control to the press within 24 hours, pointing the finger at such malarkey as their advanced hinge design, the huge risk they took using a bleeding edge Intel controller, Intel not providing Linux drivers for their new hardware, battery life degrading if a user switches out of fake RAID on Windows, Linux RAID mode being inferior to Windows and incapable of supporting crazy new Intel hardware (which warranted a thorough technical rebuttal from none other than developer of Linux RAID himself, Alan Cox), etc.

Microsoft released a statement as well saying they don't block Linux on Windows 10 Signature Edition PCs.

Lenovo started moderating and censoring their forums heavily, deleting many posts (including the multi-paged BIOS discussion with the REing), still no BIOS update, plenty of (still) angry users purchasing the laptop, learning the hard way it does not support Linux, and (in some cases) being unable to return it to the store or Lenovo.

TODAY: Lenovo backed down from their position of refusing to release a BIOS update this morning. They published BIOS updates with the SATA setting enabled.
God bless you for being the only one on this comments page (as of right now) to mention HyperCard.
> a much better designed API without a 20-30 year old baggage.

Apple's API dates back to the 1980s, just like Windows'. If you want to nitpick, Windows was developed in the early-mid 1980s while Next was developed in the mid-late 1980s.
I said handling merge conflicts, not handling merges.

The ergonomic presentation of a three way merges is not a solved problem in text-based programming languages, but you have to have something if you want more than one developer working on a single project.
Not sure I agree with you, given the facts surrounding the ordeal (SOMETHING prompted Lenovo to release this BIOS update, after all).

Now the edited title ("Linux Only BIOS Update") is much more confusing, judging by everybody else's comments. The BIOS isn't actually Linux only either; Windows runs just fine on it.
> I guess we might have just hit peak-phone handset.

This is what happens in mature product segments. The first iPhone was released 9 years ago, and that was the last real revolution -- a smartphone whose front was pretty much all screen. Everything Apple and everyone else has done since then has been incremental -- better screens, larger screens, better cameras, faster processors, thinner chassis -- but definitely the same paradigm.

The same thing happened to laptops before that. Some of the older laptops had pretty odd and uncomfortable designs. Sometime in the 90s, everyone standardized on the clamshell laptop with a 4:3 screen (later moving to widescreen), a low-profile keyboard, and a central trackpad below that. If you compare a 20-year-old laptop to a new one, you'll see the same incremental changes that happened to phones -- larger, better screens, faster processors, thinner chassis.

I think the bottom line is that the smartphone market has become as mature and predictable as the laptop market.

I think that you get the same situation here. There are people who understand what is going on and people who do not and people who do but do not care.
Not surprised at all, but from completely the opposite angle. I have the 1st gen Watch. Love it. Only real complaint was the price - especially as I had to pay the british price because it wasn't on sale here (yet?)

But I wasn't expecting sales of the new models to go well either. There hasn't been enough iteration to provide a compelling upgrade for current owners - or a clear enough 'sell' to make a mote of difference to anyone who wasn't convinced by the first models.

I don't think it's failing, or that it's going to fail. But I simply don't see it fitting this release cadence. Outside of a very compelling reason to upgrade, I can't see myself upgrading my watch more often than, e.g., a laptop. If I get less than 5 years out of it, I'll be disappointed.

I'll be interested to see where it goes from here. It's far, far too early to rely on churn - they really need something that'll convince people who aren't already convinced. And they simply don't have that yet.
I'll down-vote you just for pointing out that you'd like not to be down-voted. If you weren't so over-protective of your ego, you wouldn't feel the need to bring it up, which inherently drives the discussion away from the things you claim to want to drive it toward.

Treat your upvotes as a currency that you can spend on controversial opinions and phrasing. Accusing down-voters of being 'angry people who don't engage in discussion' is certainly immature and hypocritical of you. Generally speaking, there are dozens of great reasons to down-vote someone and not type a reply.
Yeah, but you could also have thousands of system (OS) threads in that same hardware, and they wouldn't run at the same time either.

The important part is the generation, which, to your point, is rarely mentioned. The generation is in the name, e.g. Core i7-7xxxx parts are the newest Kaby Lake, 6xxx are Skylake, etc, but I agree that it's still confusing and requires a visit to Ark to see if it's junk or not, and only people who spend hours reading about this stuff can readily identify the differences and families.
My research is on dev tools so I have a huge interest in this. Also, I interned at Microsoft Research and got to meet a few of their blind devs and how they are building tools to support others.

There is also a fair amount of research out there on the topic (see Richard Ladner at UW).

Feel free to send me an email if you get anything going!
Sure you would need somebody on the team who can get down to the git level when things go wrong, but do all the rest of the team members have to work at that level? Not everyone has to be a DBA to work with a database. It seems that we could have a level of abstraction for the majority of use cases.

I will never sell on eBay again and I don't even need to see what the delta is. Ebay is full of non-paying bidders and people waiting to rip you off. I sold a Thinkpad on ebay. I kept getting bidders from foreign countries even though I specified that I wanted bids from my country only. Why can't ebay screen these out?

One winning bidder emailed me and said "I don't want this anymore." Ok, you just wasted my 7-day auction, thanks. Another bidder simply did not pay.

Sellers get more on ebay because selling there is such a pain that a considerable premium is necessary to justify it. Maybe it's worth it for strange collectibles. For a commodity like an Apple computer? Never worth it. I would sell to Gazelle or MS and be happy with the huge discount.

The Surface Studio is a major coup for Microsoft not because it'll necessarily sell well (although I think it has the potential to) but because it's made Microsoft cool.

I showed the video to my wife and she was so impressed that she looked at all the videos Microsoft did detailing the development. She's been a mac user for more than 20 years and tt's the first time she's ever looked at a Microsoft product.

Apple during the Steve Jobs era had a reputation for taking risks, for coming up with new products that impressed and that people just wanted.

A lot of people I know were excited by the announcement of new products and tried to watch the keynotes or follow the live coverage. In the past year, none of my friends care about them anymore. I only cared about yesterday's event because I've been waiting to upgrade my macbook pro and the event was lackluster. For better or worse, by not taking risks and not introducing new products, Apple seems less cool than it used to be and Microsoft showing off the Surface studio highlighted this. It's a huge blow for Apple in term of marketing.

(As an out of topic aside, Apple even sucks at doing boring incremental improvements, the iMac, Mac Pro and Mac Mini are languishing and the new macbook pro 15 inch design choices are non-sensical for professionals)
What is the specific feature called?

It //STILL// sounds like something that happens in the MMU, at the time that the virtual address is mapped back to physical addresses via the page tables; which means that the kernel still knows the real backing addresses.

Apple does a great job integrating elements that may have existed before, and is definitely a trendsetter in styling, but they also get credit for creating a lot of elements that existed before. ("Great artists steal.")

Tim Draper of DFJ invested in Theranos very early on. His parents were neighbours with Elizabeth Holmes when she was a kid, which kind of explains why they invested in Theranos. No other reputable VC firm would touch Theranos, and Holmes had paid several visits to GV and was turned down each time. GVs bigger bets are on Uber, which turned out well, Magic Leap, and Carbon, a snazzy 3d printing startup which appears to be a solid company with some really innovative tech.

Why would you link to a page that contains a link to the podcast episode? It would have been better to post a link to a page explaining the Jefferson Curl because that's what most people who read your comment are interested in.

You know, just because you mention something in a comment doesn't mean you have to post a link to it. I can only assume you receive a portion of the revenue that podcast generates, is that true?

For example, if the phrase "Tim Ferriss's podcast" interested me at all, how difficult do you think it would be for me, a regular reader of HN, do find that information myself?

Sorry for the length of this comment, I just get confused by the hero worship that I see around here.
