Why can't you let women decide whether or not they want an abortion?

If you don't like it. Don't get one.

We could learn a thing or two from the wise Chinese: they have unlimited legal abortion. That's a system we should model ourselves after.
A wild rant appears.

The negative reaction is not because the new MBP is terrible when viewed in a vacuum, it is because people who would like (or actually need) more powerful hardware than the one-size-fits-all approach that seems to be Apple's current course are no longer catered to, or so it seems.

Personnally, I don't really care about the touch bar one way or another, but what I do care about is that I would like to have one machine I can do all my work on, which involves a wider range of things one a daily basis than is typical (e.g. video/image editing, GPU powered number crunching, coding, and sitting in moving vehicles plugged into a bunch of stuff). In the past few years, the 15" MBP has been the machine to do it all, but in it's newest incarnation(s) I am no longer sure it would still be the best tool. It seems like gimmicks are added, but useful extras are stripped away. Maybe it's just in the uncanny valley of progress with USB-C, but for the moment the way they went about it all or nothing seems like a major inconvenience, with all the "legacy" hardware I need to attach. And there's minor things like removing the power brick's cord.

As such, my first instinct is also to bitch and moan, as now it looks as though I need to find a new setup in the near future, and damn Apple for building something for the median user, but not for me. I, too, like to think that though I have an atypical usage pattern, what I do and how I talk about it benefits Apple enough that they should at least invest a bit of effort to try and keep me on their platform.
Alas, Apple has lost its way and no longer make machines with real performance like those 2005 PowerPC laptops that were so very fast.

Also the old Jobs-era Apple would never have released a machine where you couldn't plug in any of your existing peripherals without adapters... I'll just leave this here: http://lowendmac.com/wp-content/uploads/bondi-imac-right.jpg
I don't think jamming would really be reasonable in a building. If the walls can contain the jamming signal to their building then the walls will keep out the original signal anyways. I think just RF blocking paint would be a more reasonable solution but this would also interfere with any radios in use by the guards and wouldn't do anything for any prisoners that are outside during the day.

Having the cooperation of the cell service providers would be good, you could just have a small pico cell that tries to blackhole any phones in the building but if a prisoner can smuggle in a cell phone then they can probably smuggle in any other handheld radio as well.

Saying all of these things are wrong is indeed consistent, but I don't think many people would agree that it's a good idea to have no way to enforce laws.
New theory debunks consensus that math abilities are innate
Right, so TouchBar increases the number of possible modes to basically infinity. Isn't there already a way to make the TouchBar just render the function keys?

You've got some really great selections there! I've picked a fairly random list of albums and EPs from a range of electronic music, I really hope you find things you like amongst it. Also I don't want to be the genre police but I wouldn't call any of this EDM, that term seems to have been adopted by a type of music of which, I guess I'll just say I'm not a fan. In no particular order:

This could be fixed by legalizing purely destructive hacking of IoT devices. To gain immunity from prosecution the hacker would need to demonstrate that the device is completely bricked and no remote access is possible. IoT manufacturers would then be able to post bounties for destruction of competitor's products and the free market would solve the problem very quickly.

This will result in harm to third parties who did not act maliciously, but that's already happening now. With this change in law the total harm will probably be less because the problem will be solved for real, which will dramatically reduce or eliminate the possibility of "black swan" events causing very serious harm (eg. shutdown of critical infrastructure).

Entrepreneurs Passive Income by Zubayer Rahman Sayem
Inverting the logic: We must let or make the conditions in our prisons be harsh, harsh enough so that poor people don't commit crimes just to get "three hots and a cot" on the taxpayers' dime.

Doesn't that sound insane?

Let's fix the prisons, and let's have something like a basic standard of living, below which we only let people live if they want to. I.e. so-called Universal Basic Income, or something. I think we should literally give people housing, food, water, and health care, just because.

Heh, I know of him, but I don't think a person's public persona dictates how that person conducts him/herself when it comes to a paycheck. Given that your endorsement is based on his public persona, I'm obligated to revert back to my original assumption that this very much is to hype up Chrome. Oh well ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

> The Cultural Revolution scenes at the beginning, however, were powerful and left a deep impression

I guess they're put at the beginning in the English translation to achieve that "Here's a foreign culture" effect. The Chinese language edition orders the chapters differently, so that those first 3 chapters on the Cultural revolution come in the middle of chapter 9 when Wang Miao talks to the astrophysicist. The Chinese edition more clearly unfolds the events as they're found out by certain main characters.

The Jackie Chan movie "Who am I?" film was similarly butchered for Western audiences. The Asian edition has his character waking up with amnesia in Africa, and we spend the movie identifying with him as he finds out how he got there, via memories returning and clues. The American edition, however, begins by showing all the forgotten memories, taking away the mystery for the viewer.
If you can change the style of an image to anybody's style I guess you could:

- take your writing and apply the styles of famous writers

> How is anyone better off not knowing the details of a vulnerability that people are exploiting already?

This question is strange. On the one hand, the disclosure scares users into switching to Chrome even though Microsoft asserts Edge offers protection. On the other hand, the disclosure actually does not disclose the details of a vulnerability that people are exploiting already.

Would you rather have had the disclosure include the exact vulnerability?

I've addressed your other questions surrounding the benefits and drawbacks in other threads. No point in re-hashing them.
I'm stuck in this weird place as well.

I see the death penalty as almost more humane than life imprisonment (and--this rationale is a little cold--also much less of a tax burden.)

The US really needs to get its shit together in terms of figuring out how to rehabilitate criminals and get them back into society.
So did Paul's dad eventually listen to his son's stock market advice?
So this article does the Maxwell Demon some injustice. There is a key point about the demon that when he is 'sorting' the particles into two bulbs or rooms, that the gate he is working on is frictionless. In this way, you can can see that there is no energy entering the system, yet the entropy is decreasing.
Now, this is where things get interesting to me (please correct me if I'm wrong here). What the demon is adding is information to the system. It decreases entropy. Natural selection is a sort of maxwell demon in it's selection process. I have a theory though that it all evens out. The more complex/evolved the organism, the more entropy the organisms generate themselves.
How about a different type of funding model...Let's call it a "Refunder"

-A LetsCrypt certificate is ultimately free

BUT

-You must pay X amount of dollars to get one (a fair and low amount)\

-After 30 days, you can cancel/refund your payment

-BUT you still get to keep your certificate...

Probably in something like this, a fairly high percent of people will not bother to pay / are happy to continue to pay. LetsEncrypt certificates are still always free but at least this way human laziness means that LE important work can be sustainable into the future.
NoRedInk | San Francisco, CA or REMOTE for Senior, Pacific Time (PST) to Central European Time (CET)

We’re an ed-tech company on a mission to help all students become strong writers! Our team may be small, but NoRedInk is used by 1 in 3 school districts in the US, and students have answered over 1 billion questions on our platform.

We’re a group of friendly people who listen to and learn from each other. We discuss past mistakes openly so we can adapt our processes to the challenges that come with progress. Puns flow freely across our San Francisco office as well as on Slack, and we have remote engineers spanning six different time zones.

Our engineering team [1] prides itself on code quality and innovation. We use the cutting-edge Elm programming language for all our new front-end code, and have been migrating legacy React code to Elm as well. We started with Ruby on Rails on our backend, and have lately been working to introduce Elixir to our stack. You can read about our experiences with these technologies on our team blog! [2]

In addition to spending work hours open-sourcing useful libraries we develop [3], we also invest financially in open source. We hired the creator of Elm, Evan Czaplicki, to develop Elm full time. [4] Evan discusses his plans for the language with the team every week, periodically pairs with other engineers on Elm, and cracks up members of the sales team with his lunchtime jokes.

We use Amazon AWS for our infrastructure and automate all of our deployments using OpsWorks and Chef. We write a lot of tests, and use Jenkins for continuous integration. Our process for new features begins with our product team and in-house visual designer, continues with a GitHub pull request from a feature branch into master, and ends with our in-house QA specialist trying to break it before it reaches production.

We’re hiring both engineers who have been around the block many times, as well as those who started their careers just a couple years ago. We’re looking for engineers who want to work on a mission that makes a difference and who are the type of collaborators that value kindness and open-mindedness, over convincing the group they’re right.

After having hired 4 junior engineers in the past quarter, we are currently only hiring engineers with professional programming experience in order to better provide mentorship to our current junior engineers. If you'd like to be considered for this position once it reopened please let us know at jr-engineer-job@noredink.com and we'll reach out to you once the position is available again.

You can learn more about what it’s like working here through Hardy’s on-boarding blog post:

REQUIREMENTS

Who you are...

You are within drivable distance to our Dubuque, IA headquarters for meetings and such.

I've asked for clarification on this before, basically work from home, but be close enough to come in on a phone call.

Do you share your range before asking about requirements? If not, would you say people in lower cost of living areas ask for less on average? Do you feel you as an employer have an obligation to provide information on market rates given that you hire remotely?
> Yeah sure, if you install some tooling it then becomes fine, but you need to install that.

I think you're the only Linux person I've ever met who has a problem with installing things.
The problem is you buried your point in the 5th sentence in the 5th paragraph of basically a rant.

And it's wrong. No modern programmer does that any more.

When I first came here 9 years ago people would refer to patterns all the time. But this is the first time I've seen the GoF even mentioned in a year or so. People stopped caring about design patterns years ago because they stopped being relevant.

And good riddance, the whole thing was a farce that spawned factoryFactoryFactories and newbies constantly asking how to implement a singleton because actually they wanted glorified global variables because they can't program properly.

Where the GoF completely failed, javascript, ironically, saved us (with Crockford doing the nudging). It forced functional paradigms, lambda expressions, anonymous types, function objects, etc. into the mainstream languages where lisp had failed and almost overnight made design patterns obsolete. It fundamentally changed how we programmed so that the problems the patterns aimed to solve weren't problems any more.
Seconded. Pure HTML ftw.

In a properly functioning free market, the company should be doing badly! They might like to earn a nice fat profit, but that isn't what the rest of us like. Competition should get rid of that. Having business difficulties is the expected norm.

So point #1 should normally be true, and any change that makes business more difficult should normally cause business failures and resulting job loss.
If you are going to read one sci-fi book this year, read "Ready Player One" or "The Martian". Don't waste your hours on Cixin Liu. :)
I'm referring to the entirety of that which I cited.
> Don't sweat the permissions for this directory; the certificates themselves will not be publicly accessible.

Maybe still a good idea to sweat the permissions - the way it's set up right now, any process on the system can delete the certificates from this folder, thus breaking your site until such time as you renew them.
> For any embedded development, or HDL stuff, OS X will not be a nice experience.

My day job is embedded electronics and I prefer to use macOS. I recognise this limits some of my choice of tools but also makes tools available that aren't options for my Windows-using colleagues. Comfortable access to Mac-like tools (OmniGraffle, Acorn, various office suites and code editors) and unix-like tools (gnuplot, LaTeX, simulation and scripting languages) makes up for the fact that I have to run a VM for the accounting software (MYOB) and the occasional Windows-only configuration utility or firmware uploader. Thankfully the business uses the cross-platform Eagle for schematic & PCB work. I've been and Apple guy all the way back to the Apple II so to me, it's nicer to use an OS that I grew up with and suffer the occasional trip to a VM.
Wow -- US population is roughly 5x the UK population, yet we have 1000x people serving life sentences ... I can't help but think of that quote that we should judge the state of a society by the state of their prisons ...

I really wish we could do something to dramatically change the prison system in the US -- its insane how much horrible inertia guides its current trajectory ... Given how much more we know about humans than we did 200 years ago, why aren't there better ideas on the role of prison and the justice system disciplining their mutual evolution than were available in the past?

> I have never actually used a BSD OS that is no OS X, but I have a suspicion that a lot of the stability in OS X is due to BSD.

I'm pretty sure it's due to the drivers, Linux would be fine too with official Hardware support.

> A few years ago I spent quite a bit of time playing with Ubuntu. I grew up with Windows, but after 8 came out, I had essentially no desire to ever touch Windows again. People claim Windows 10 is not that bad, but not that bad isn't good enough. Linux Mint was pretty nice as well. Elementary OS seems cool. CrunchBang was nice for a super lightweight system.

You might also try Fedora (my current favorite). Korora is a nice way to have it configured out-of-the-box: https://kororaproject.org
> it's a different system from the server, lots of tricks are needed to make it work invisibly (either with a VM or a lighter equivalent)

I used to use Linux for this reason, but it's no longer a factor in my opinion.

Ideally your development environment should mirror the production environment, and just saying "the server is running Ubuntu Server 14.04LTS and I'm running Ubuntu 14.04LTS" is a pretty lazy and incomplete way of half-achieving that goal. What about your nginx config? What about your permissions? What about your PostgreSQL version?

Whether you run Mac or Linux, you're still forced to solve that problem, and the best tools to do it are all available and work great on a Mac. Vagrant is relatively painless and works really well.
I find it annoying as a California voter that both of these made it onto the ballot at the same time. It seems to make more sense to me to FIRST vote on whether or not the death penalty should be repealed before voting on whether or not to expedite the process.
It's all related to features in the app at least, it's not like they're asking for things they don't need to make all the features work. I might call SMS unnecessary but that's because I don't really want to use it for SMS.
Sounds interesting, too bad the server is dead
Why would sequential access be faster on an SSD or in RAM? I thought that there was essentially no penalty for 'seeking' in both situations?
Please see here for background on the effort: http://lists.llvm.org/pipermail/llvm-dev/2016-August/103748....

I believe that given RISC-V's status as a clean and open ISA, the RISC-V port for any project should be the most accessible, best documented and cleanest. I am attempting to pursue this for the LLVM port. This has real practical benefit - the easier it is for research groups and hobbyists to hack on the RISC-V LLVM backend, the easier it is to perform interesting hardware/software co-design and architectural research.
Bill by milliseconds (AWS Lambda and the like) is going to push us into that direction. The 100 ms billing unit could become a benchmark. It will punish languages with a long startup time. Luckily for Java it's introducing ahead of time compilation. Many scripting languages are going to suffer. Too bad because they are usually the ones that make programming easier.
It may feel police-statey, but it's lawyers, plaintiffs, juries, and unintended consequences that are responsible.

There'll be some small amount of additional per-language work generally. I (and lowrisc.org as a whole) would be keen to support people attempting such ports. Rust and Swift are obviously high on the list.

> From shooters to strategy, builders to bingo, find your game in Gameroom, designed for PC gaming.

I just can't see this competing with Steam and Origin. It took years for Origin to get as much acceptance as it has in the PC market, and it started with AAA games people wanted - not "Oz: Broken Kingdom" and "Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory Slots". Origin still gets crap because it isn't Steam.
