Simplify DevOps Complexity with XebiaLabs’ DevOps Platform v6.0
It makes me sad so see that they waste time on decoration like gif search but they don't have a client I can use on my PC for example.
Ask HN: Who is quitting and why?
I may be quitting my job very soon because the startup I work for slashed salaries(more than 50%) because they are not making enough in revenue and it's almost two years since their existence. I'd like to hear from more devs here.
I didn't pretend to describe all the rules in detail. In Denmark, property taxes are also calculated based on values that are not the current market value. Currently, 95% of Danes pay the state property tax based on a 2001/2002 value assessed by the tax authorities.

My main skepticism on the touch bar is the fact that Apple is not making it a standard component across the board (ahem).

When a user-interface device is non-standard, it tends to not be supported very well, because companies/developers don't have time to spend designing and testing the interaction, much less the actual code, for the relatively few users who have the device.

Apple may have more success with this, because MacOS developers will be more likely to have it and may want to play with their new toy...
The USB-C ports and the processor + RAM limitations will be fixed by time.

As soon as Intel rolls out their full Kaby Lake line, the Macbook Pro will get a rev that will improve speed and permit 32GB of RAM. Counting in design and manufacturing time, that could be about a year from now.

And USB-C is clearly the future for connectors. In a year or two a lot more peripherals will be shipping with USB-C as the default cord.

This is why Apple carries a huge amount of cash around on their books: so that they can make long-term decisions even if it hurts in the short term.
It is not unreasonable for a customer to expect the price seen on an item to be what it will cost in total.

Amazon would be unusable for comparison shopping if you needed to go through checkout to get the full price with shipping.
Yet Greece is still overspending in regards to propping up its social security compared to other EU nations. Courts have regularly blocked reform attempts.

So now they have both high unemployment and high taxes, the latter discourages if not out right prevents new businesses from starting. You cannot recover any economy by taxing your way out of your malaise
Is this article seriously asking why Apple didn't put a processor that was publicly announced in September in laptops that consumers could buy one month later? How about asking the author why they didn't write this article on the day of the mac event? I get people's disappointment in the new macs, even though I think it's mostly unwarranted, but this is taking it to an extreme.
Show HN: SVARTVRIBOT
I try Ubuntu about once a year, in the hopes of getting rid of OSX. But each time, the reason for going back to Apple ID is interoperability: Try dragging stuff (images, fotos, links, files, formatted text ...) from one program to another, including the "dreaded" Finder; Works nearly always in OSX. While Ubuntu has come a long way with these things, I think it's still an even longer way away from what OSX can do.

So while I haven't tried Elementary, I'd be astonished if it's any better at interoperability than Ubuntu...

Because Gandhi was a pacifist and Mandela advocated armed struggle, and led an organisation that bombed civilians. Mandela's reputation as a man of peace is based on the fact he pivoted from a violent strategy to a political one, not on his being a pacifist.

Edit: The fact that you and others are outraged by the idea Mandela was a terrorist sort of proves the point. The path to respect, statesmanship, Nobel Peace Prizes and sainthood often starts with violence.

It's the way our system works - I want avocados now, even though I'm thousands km away from an avocado tree.
One solution would be for me to give up on the avocado, but then the world needs me to buy it, otherwise the balance of avocados in the economy will move and the futures will go down and everyone panics and now maybe I will say no to mangos too ... sell, sell, sell!

This is how it works - not because someone conceptualised, thought through the whole complexity - it just ended up being like this..

I'm not getting my hopes too high for a global change - in fact I think this can't happen without some sort of global crisis or conflict preceding it.

Mass layoffs in companies that answer to shareholders/investors is almost always a way to reduce costs and to increase ROI on investment.

It has absolutely nothing to do with productivity of the people getting laid off, it's more to do with a failure of some kind in management.
Doubling the RAM, increases the energy consumption of the equipment, but it obviously doesn't double the energy consumption of the equipment.
This is not only about Greece, a house is a basic necessity of live, wether you can find a job or not. Governments should cap the price per square meter so a house will always be available for everyone.

As it is now you cannot really buy a house, you need a mortgage for live and work your entire life to pay interest. If this continues every house in the entire world will become unending debt and ever more unattainable, except for the rich of course.

This is also why basic income could never work in practice, as the house prices keep increasing you'd also need to increase the basic income. And where goes the money? Indeed, to the rich property owners..
Please understand that there are very different types of 'pros'. Some "pros" need to be on the road continuously and portability is a huge advantage for which the performance hit is acceptable. For others, they only to unplug to go for meetings and rather have something more powerful and heavy/big.

That is quite simply a lie. Recent GR governments have not pushed for pension or social security reform, only cuts in spending, all of which the Parliament approved and set into effect _immediately_. As far as I know they're all still in effect.

Mobility is relative. They may want desktop level performance that can be moved more easily than lugging around a tower/monitor/keyboard/mouse. Not everyone needs (or cares about) the ability to work away from a power source for more than a few hours.

Supercomputers capture the crush in biological cells
Most of the laptop manufacturers are mixing the legacy ports with the new usb-c ports. That'll probably continue for a while, and not sure if you'll see things like sd card readers disappear anytime soon. Apple's DNA is to make upsetting changes quickly (often to their benefit), but that's not how a lot of users like things to go down, so this feels like a legitimate gripe.

As for when the escape key / function row is going to disappear from windows computers, I'd say that one is a ways off / never.

As for when it's going to be impossible to get a nice nvidea graphics card, but given the track record, I'd say this trends towards "never" as well.

Imagine a world with no advertising.

I do so regularly. You wouldn't have to rely on what you saw on a billboard or a website, where the products by the company that payed the most are displayed. Instead you would consult an independant source dedicated to comparing the type of products you are looking for. Or you'd ask friends what they would recommend. You know, sources with the priority of actually pointing you at the best solution, not getting you to give them money over someone else.

With ad blockers having made a lot of people conscious about ads and their ethics, I feel like we are closer to an ad free world than ever. Personally, I can't wait.

That's what mine do at my current company, he's fine. (Startup around 80 people now).

In my past 3 companies (from 100 to 100 000), I have never heard of the CEO once, don't know any name, not sure there is one, if there is one he might as well not exist.

It sure ain't a person and ain't a symbol.

For some people, it's actually a demoralizing symbol of "A useless employee making xM$ for nothing. He shouldn't be there."
If Elementary wants to alter some program to add a time bomb, the GPL cannot stop them. The GPL only ensures that the user can take the time bomb out (either by themselves or by following instructions on the internet, or by hiring somebody to do it).
I instantly believe you, based on my experience of the fiasco that is Gnome 3, but can you share some examples of this?
GPL just requires source to be available to anyone who receives the binary. It has to be available on request. You can ask them to pay for the cost of postage to ship it to them.

More often than not, most high-rise construction (that means... anything above 2 floors when it comes to Greece) is good, especially after the changes to the seismic code after the 1999 earthquake. A small drop in building quality came during the 80s.

More problematic are single homes where the owner of the land who contracts their construction decides to take shortcuts, as well as industrial buildings (the RIKOMEX building at the 1999 earthquake

> Since, apple is unlikely to decide to go back to the previous form factor, they are unlikely to ever sell a laptop with decent performances compared to their competitors.

Once the next generation of Intel processors land, I bet we'll see Macbook Pros with faster processors and 32GB or more of RAM. At that point they will catch up to their competitors.

But it's important to remember who Apple considers their competitors. They've never competed on the cheap end--everyone knows that--but they've also never competed on the high-power end. For at least the past 8 years it's been possible to buy laptops that deliver more horsepower than a Macbook Pro, by caring less about size, weight, and battery life. I think that will always be true.
I don't think we should see those things as mutually exclusive. I might combine the arguments as "CEOs should be fired for personal performance, not corporate or economic upheavals."

Stumpf left Wells Fargo over a debacle he neither created nor directly managed. Certainly, over something less visible and attributable than Cordiner at G.E. There's no particular reason to think that the new CEO is more qualified to reform incentive structures and security precautions than he is, so it was just a changing of the guard to show that something was being done.

Meanwhile someone like Ballmer was ousted about a decade after the industry had decided it was necessary. I knew college students who swore they wouldn't work at Microsoft until Ballmer left, and that was years before he finally did. Even if you feel he did a good job, it's pretty undeniable that his presence was toxic to Microsoft's reputation and ability to recruit. And yet he only left when Microsoft's problems became undeniable and 'new blood' was needed to buoy the share price.

To me, the most consistent narrative is that boards fire CEOs when a problem becomes so public that they need someone to hold responsible. That means both ignoring incompetence if things are running uneventfully, and ignoring competence (or reasonable ignorance) when a scandal comes through.

Check out Krita sometime as a Gimp alternative. It's geared toward digital painting a bit more, but it works for general image editing too.
For me this is a big part of the problem. Most "pros' that complain of lack of more power also are ok with shorter battery life because they work mostly plugged. Apparently, for them it's unconceivable that some "pros" do most of their work unplugged and for that battery life and size/weight are a major issue (and compared to other OSs the usability of the macOS is still a huge advantage over any other laptop).
I'm saying that 250 euros might sound low until one considers that it's about 8% of the entire income the property would make when rented.
