fusuma works on Ubuntu 16.04 (I tried) and touchegg apparently doesn't

https://github.com/JoseExposito/touchegg/issues/280

https://github.com/JoseExposito/touchegg/issues/281

fusuma is configured with a text file and touchegg seems to have a GUI.

fusuma autoinstalls, but you must have Ruby (which should be there on every Ubuntu). touchegg must be compiled and the installation sequence failed for me, but as I wrote, it seems it won't work anyway on 16.04.

If you're a Ruby developer using rvm or the like, you must remember which Ruby version you installed fusuma into, or tweak its startup script to load the right one.

About the escape key, is it not possible to place a digital version of it in the touch bar?... not defending apple I'm also not happy with this MBP but I think at least that can be worked around.
To be precise, 99.999% of everything that is produced by someone and considered art by someone else is not considered noteworthy art by the "art world", simply because it's really a very small and narrow world. Most paintings, videos and performances are just as unrecognized.
Not so fast. Let the respective products come to market. Armchair visionary technologists have already spelled death of Apple and Resurrection of Microsoft. Not so fast.
You might consider a Razer Blade Pro. It comes close in specs, build quality and price.[0]

That's like saying car has combustion engine.

> I don't see what else could go into the 15inch MBP that it currently lacks?

* Razer Blade[1]: 0.70", 4.30lbs. VR-ready performance. i7, DDR4, PCIe SSD, GTX1060. Starts at $1800.

* Gigabye Aero[2]: 0.78", 4.16lbs. VR-ready performance. i7, DDR4, PCIe SSD, GTX1060. Starts at $1500.

MBP is fine if you don't need performance. It straddles the line between netbook and laptop - which is probably why it does so well. Most people don't need more. However, Apple does not service the market that needs more in any way whatsoever. They probably never will: regardless of where the cost of Apple products comes from, they cannot compete with the bang-for-buck of the above examples (neither support Linux very well).

I just copied this idea for bootstrappers: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12834961
This, besides the no detailed window tiling, was one of my main issues as well.

I am a bit lost myself : for me OsX is the best mix where I have a nix like terminal, great design tools and general software support, good UX, and I don't have to spend too much time maintaining and configuring the machine.

Both Linux and Windows are inferior in some of these aspects, so I have been sucking it up for the past couple of years.
Coming the next time I have to change my machine, I am not sure what I will get.

The new XPS 13 has a developer edition, at least in European stores.

Too bad they have ditched the Intel wifi card and has the same Killer one the normal XPS
I believe that's the solution they went with.
Do they really communicate by email after encrypting? Wouldn't it make more sense to communicate via a file on the owned desktop?
Well it is not that hard to admit, actually it is quite obvious.

Looking for data to make soft hacking of YC application process
Hi!
I would like to make soft hacking of YC application process. Lookig for breakdown of companies who made to YC by industry, country, b2b\b2c, Global \ US Market, business stage, product development stage, money raised befor applying, number of employees, number of founders, founders background - for the last 5 batches.
I'm usually good at sucessfully entering highly competitive clubs - I made 50:1 to McKinsey, 16:1 to Stanford GSB, 100:1 to Citadel hedgefund. I know that selection triggers exist and numbers work.
My team was rejected by YC with Moscow-based blockchain fintech b2b company. We checked logs - YC did it just because of our video, nobody never checked the product. So looks like some triggers did not go through - either b2b, or blockchain, or Russia. Some other accelerators said us that YC is mostly for consumer startups, and Bay area in general is not big on blockchain. So need historical proof, and analyze successful startup cases that have the same pattern.
Will appreciate help with statistics - this will help all of us avoiding info asymmetry in the future, and spend our time and efforts wisely.

Thank you

Igor
Anyone else considering Hackintosh? Some water cooled beast running OSX really appeals TBH.
Ask HN: What to do while compiling?
I tend to get distracted and check hn, reddit when compiling. This disrupts my thought line & I sometimes stay on these sites after the compiling is over.

What can I do to stay focused when compiling? What do you do to solve this problem?
Bioshock Infinite is one of the most acclaimed games in the last few years and only two from 2013 are rated better. It has a 94% Metacritic rating and was declared a 10/10 game by dozens of reviewers.

No idea about profitability, but it was a great game.
It occurs to me that you could also look into the Aero 14[1] as a known working VR-ready build. Zero variables to be concerned about.

I think it is closed now.

I worked at an isp which serviced their CBR office with a 128k isdn then upgraded to a "2 mbit" PAPL link (a niche product where you used 2 or 4 pairs of directly connected copper which bypassed the exchange).
I think we're talking about people who spend 12+ hours coding.
They're working themselves there, it still feels like parts of Microsoft haven't caught up. Windows 10 comes to mind, and other areas that still seem painfully behind the times. It would be nice if Microsoft made some Windows Components that are open sourced out of the box, like full disk encryption software. I've personally moved to Linux for over a year now because it meets all my needs without getting in my way. Linux has come a long way, but Windows 10 feels like it's pushing me away. There should be a minimalist / developer centric version of Windows that has no ridiculous services on or even installed on the OS, has sane update installation (once a month or so is fine, unless critical). Maybe even turn the old dated Windows Update into the same style as a Linux package manager if that's possible enough for Windows. There's also two different Windows Update screens and they each fight each other.
The UI is so similar to the ones we had in early 2000s in Game Dev communities. So many memories!
Yeah I don't know. I mean it's great that Microsoft is starting to actually being able to bring innovative products to market rather than staying at the concept stage. Panos seems to infuse that part of Microsoft with some great leadership and design ethos. They are are on an upwards trajectory while Apple can be seen as being on the down slope.

But Apple has and still is doing some great things when it comes to innovation. The taptic engine is a great addition, so was touch 3D, Touch ID, and a few of the other things they've introduced. The problem with Apple is more that they now seem to lack some judgement and vision together with a putting the bottom line before everything else.

That could be perceived as "braver" than Microsoft if it weren't for the fact that Microsoft isn't exactly throwing money at problems either any more, but seems to keeps things more focused and picking its battles. Overall though the competition is great and will lead to better products.
It's a pleonasm:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pleonasm
Sure, just don't forget how that came to pass.
I think the problem there (coming from the internet) is that journalists switched from reporting about "official discourse" (which could have been a good thing) to reporting about "what people talk about". It doesn't really matter if the original story is really true, the fact they are reporting about is that people elsewhere are discussing it. Meta-journalism maybe.

It seems people manage to get it going, some have forked the Kernel to provide top notch support, I just wish it were baked into Ubuntu out of the box.
I don't think it's necessarily true that the government doesn't support startups. Programs like the R&D Tax Incentive (cash back on R&D spent, including local developers) and Export Market Development Grant (refund up to 50% of overseas marketing costs) are very useful to small businesses. That said, I don't think the government does a good job

Disclaimer: I work for PwC's Nifty Forms team, which helps SMBs in Australia with these programs.

Papers like the Wall Street Journal want your subscription dollars, not your page views. They can access those by maintaining a reputation for quality. It's a nice stable revenue stream, too.

(I suppose it also helps that they cover things other outlets often don't, like international business news.)
I don't use an ad blocker. I just avoid using websites that are covered in ads unless I really need to.
True but the screenshots released so far indicate that it's centred, so it's position will move depending on context. Not good for muscle memory.
This is a bizarre comparison. The Surface Studio is not in competition with the MacBook Pro. It's closest analogue is something like the iPad Pro with a stand I guess. Apple will not be making a direct competitor to the Surface Studio because they aren't going to make a touch screen MacOS (the right decision IMO).

I mean the Studio looks nice if you're an illustrator but there's no obligation to compete with every niche product out there.

There are legitimate gripes with the new MacBook Pros (price mainly) but this article's premise seems confused.
Couldn’t you just hibernate (ie, save the RAM contents to a file on disk, power off, then write the data back on next boot)? I don’t remember exactly how it’s done on macOS but it’s possible. You can also set it to hibernate after sleeping for a while which is what I use. https://apple.stackexchange.com/a/127650

This I think is the Windows perspective. The Linux perspective (Debian in my case) is somewhat different:

- Hardware wise the Trackpad is identical in performance to the Mac. All the same gestures are recognised - but the software doesn't use most of them. In fact the software side was terrible until libxinput took over from the old synaptics driver. Now if it works, it works well - but it's still a little lacking on the gesture front.

- Coil whine should be no different - but I've never heard it.

- Fan control is perfect, which is weird. Maybe it was old BIOS?

- Intel's GPU firmware & driver has been a 18 month long cluster fuck. It's the same cluster fuck on Windows and Linux. It still isn't perfect, but it's much better. At the rate they are going, they may get it right 2 years after the initial release of the CPU. Here's hoping. I don't know how Apple could escape this mess. Maybe they knew they couldn't, so escaped it by not upgrading the CPU's for donkey's years.

- Oddly the wakeup problem happened on Linux too. Once I opened by bag and it was so hot I though I'd destroyed it. The issue has gone now.

- Linux has the same issues a Windows when it comes to mixing HIDPI and normal displays. In Linux it's a fundamental limitation of X. It can be fixed in Wayland.

One piece of advice: update the BIOS religiously. At least until Intel fixes their Skylake GPU issues.
Yes. This is the real jaw-dropping showstopper for me.

My current MacBook works well enough. There's no overwhelming, compelling reason to get a new one.

And yet, it's three years old, so I figured that maybe if Apple comes out with a 32GB version, I'll get it in the coming months.

They didn't, and so I'll be holding onto my machine for a while longer.
I don't own a car - not entirely for ecologic reasons, but that's one of them. I do most of my short-distance trips by bicycle, I'll use a car-sharing offer when I need to transport heavy stuff, though I currently consider buying a cargo bike to replace that use.

I'm in the fortunate position that this is possible for me since I live in the city, have proper public transport, can walk to the supermarket and in a pinch have multiple car-sharing offers to pick from.

Still, I believe that action against climate change cannot be effective at an individual level. It's the classic tragedy of the commons - what I save in energy, the neighbor next door easily blows through the tailpipe of his SUV. Foregoing a car is not possible for large chunks of the population, those that live in areas with less good public transport, for those that regular need to travel long distances etc. So action needs to come at at least federal level, probably even at a EU level: Public transport (and long distances railway) needs to be a real alternative to private car ownership in at least most places in germany. Clean energy needs to be supported, dirty energy not (we're still paying subsidies for a lignite mine in brandenburg). So yes, demonstrations make sense, because they support the policies at a level that actually makes sense.

I haven't done that but I feel like it won't be sustainable or fast enough, you'll need to use a full fledged computer [desktop/laptop].

But if you're adding a keyboard and able to switch between apps easily like we do on MacOS [haven't used iPad Pro] then probably that difference should be further slim. Sounds interesting as I think of it, you should definitely try & tretch/test the limits. Good luck :)
>I have a nix like terminal

Does bash on windows solve this issue for you or do you want the entire terminal to be nix like (instead of the command prompt)
Hey, include minified js and css to your page (get them from repo - https://github.com/nenadg/traquer/tree/master/public), and that would do for now.
Some people seem to think that the MacBook is only for developers and Apple is obliged to listen to only their feedback. News flash: world doesn't revolve around hacker news.

Let's be honest for a moment. Apple has never in the history been the one to wait for market to adapt to some new technology. They have been the one who immediately puts it on their products and gets rid of the old standards. Everybody has known this for years so this really shouldn't surprise anyone.

Generally speaking whether you like it or not, no one really cares if the ESC button is on the touchbar instead of being traditional physical button. Even fewer people care if there are ridiculous 32GB models available when most devs dont even need 16GB. Not to mention average consumers.

If Apple would give you guys 32GB option then people would cry why they can't get 64GB option. If the new MacBook wouldn't have touchbar then people would complain why Apple isn't innovating anymore etc.

What Apple is doing with their new MacBook is what Apple has been doing with their products for decades. If you don't like it feel free to switch to other laptops and run Win10 or Linux. But we all know you won't. You'll buy this MacBook sooner or later, then in 2018 when Apple releases new models you'll be here complaining about something again and you'll still buy that one as well.

In the recent keynote about the MBP refresh with the TouchBar and the professional apps (like Adobe Photoshop and Final Cut Pro) being adapted to it, Apple showed an MBP setup with a couple of 5K LG monitors (which Apple mentioned it worked with LG for) for professional work, along with external RAID storage from Pegasus. The message I got was that MBP is the pro line, which can be "expanded" on the display and storage fronts. Unfortunately, it still leaves RAM and internal storage stuck (pun intended) with whatever came in during the purchase!

At the end of the keynote, I was left with the impression that the Mac Pro is going to be canned in a few months, probably along with the Mac mini - just disappear silently from the store. Even the iMac may get canned in a couple of years, leaving the portable MBP as the sole Mac available. This may be the leading act for introducing an ARM based MBP, thus eliminating the effort to deal with a refresh of other Macs to ARM based chips.

I've expressed my frustration here on this topic before. Apple seems unwilling and incompetent to put in what it takes to show that it still can do and maintain things well.
It also weighs 3.4kg :( wouldn't want to carry that around!

A friend of mine works for a company doing something like this with vehicle-mounted scanners. It's like street view on crack - I want to say something like centimeter precision on the measurements, and then they skin it with the photos? It's pretty impressive.

This is also impressive, but for other reasons.
> commercial enterprise designed to profit off public domain works

As it goes, this seems fairly benign to me...

* The original photos are readily available. A link directly to each photo might be a bit more "commons-friendly", but you can find most of the images by searching for the title on the Library of Congress page, which is linked on every image.

* There's at least a bit of work, both in curating the collection and retouching the individual photos. I tried to cheap out by cleaning up one of the originals and printing it myself. It's more difficult and time-consuming than you might think.

It's unclear to me what the status of a retouched public domain photo is. I could imagine that they are derivative works, particularly if that retouching has some sort of creative component (e.g., patching gaps or painting over creases) vs. something entirely automatic.

* Even if they gave away the high-res retouched files, I suspect most of the value comes from having them printed and attractively framed. Clearly this isn't a service that will be given away for free.
> The world now knows better about these harmful environmental practices, and has access to better tech to avoid this

Except the better tech tends to be more expensive and less labor intensive. A country with a huge cheap labor force would handicap itself by not using the most cost effective means to grow their economy, negative externalities notwithstanding.
Despite the bad reviews from most well-known experts, the AAPL stock didn't vary. There was a 1% fall on Oct 26, but it seems due to a technical change, not a trader evaluation.

Proof that either the Macbook Pro isn't bad enough, either it won't hurt their bottom line at all. Proof that the MBP is here to stay. Proof that 2017 could be the year of Linux on the desktop ;)

But Surface Studio hit that imagination sweetspot. The Surface Dial feels so simple and intuitive, yet completely caught me off guard. The old Apple use to have that. But ever since Cook really takes over, every Apple press release, becomes endless circlejerk of "2x CPU/GPU", "thinner and thinner", "best XXXX we ever designed". Especially the thinner and thinner thing, it becomes some kind of religious cult, that Apple seems to prioritize beyond user's convenience. This is not what an innovative company should be, it is a company that so desperate clinging to its old formula.

It's OK though, the US has a good track record of prosecuting executives of companies for criminal negligence when they do things like ignore their engineers, give nontechnical people authority over deciding when a product ships, staff themselves with the least experienced and cheapest engineers they can find in positions whose job description doesn't even include the word 'security' and things like that.

Agreed on the price. I was holding out for a retina MBP/MBA around the $1,000 mark. As things stand though, I'll probably add another 4 GB ram to my 2011 MBA and use it for a few more years.
