Um, what? USB-B is a device-end port. It's the square port on your printer/scanner/etc type device. You probably mean USB-A, which is the rectangular one used by e.g. flash drives.

Assuming that's what you meant: I don't care. People always harp on about how Apple does "planned obsolescence" to force hardware upgrades.

Here they are, fully committing to cutting edge, amazingly versatile, backwards compatible, INDUSTRY STANDARD ports, meaning the MBP you buy in 2016 not only can use (via a relatively cheap new cable/adapter or a multi-device hub) any USB device released in the last 15 years, but also has a good chance of being future compatible with devices released for a good number of years, both low AND high speed.

What is the response?

Waaaaa I want to plug my old shit into my $2.5K laptop but $9 is going to break the bank.

I have a 2011 MBP. It has 3x USB2, Firewire 800, Gig Ethernet and ONE freaking thunderbolt v1. Its still very usable, with one fucking exception. USB2 is slow as shit. Firewire drives have no adoption outside of Mac users, so they're not available everywhere, and when they are the price is ridiculous.

If my MBP had 4 TB1 ports instead of all the legacy ports, yes I would have had to buy a couple of USB2 adapters back in the day, but I would be able to have multiple USB3 adapters now.

The situation now is honestly the best scenario. Apple is embracing an industry standard and honestly the ones who aren't following it are the el-cheapo PC makers who are still shipping PS/2 and VGA ports.
As a note for people, if your constraints are a bit different then these are some services to check out:

Joyent Manta: https://www.joyent.com/manta

Hyper: http://hyper.sh

Possibly Joyent Triton: https://www.joyent.com/triton

I personally often want to run a bunch of things for ~1-15 minutes, and have too much data or setup to fit neatly in a lambda function. However, I don't need 1000 things running simultaneously, although manta would help still there.

I'd love to see some more layers over the top of services like this, hopefully someday getting us back to picloud. I miss that service.
It's not clear to Rolling Stone is in such jeopardy, they didn't, for example, exhibit contempt for the judicial process from beginning to end, they, I assume, have real libel insurance and are cooperating with their insurance company (although I wonder how policies are written to deal with actual malice findings). They're going to take a big hit here, and the fraternity lawsuit is likely to be much uglier, but as of yet it doesn't seem to be an existential threat.

Gawker and it's empire, though, were an outlier, for example making a business model such as it was out of "actual malice", it was only a matter of time until they were brought down.

And taking a step back, I think it's vital that our system has effective feedback like court cases such as this, especially in the post-New York Times Co. v. Sullivan (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_York_Times_Co._v._Sullivan) era where the bar has been set so high for "public figures" that, all things considered, libel and slander law is non-operative for pretty much everyone but scientists (who are't public figures and who's reputation is vital for their careers, such suits don't make sense and therefore are seldom pursued without serious damages being on the line).

I would interpret the predominant style of capitalism we have in the same way.

Centralisation of power is the issue, it doesn't matter if that centralised power is held by governments or by large corporations, the end result is a tilting of the playing field in favour of those with the most power.
I am surprised nobody explicitely told you they are fake yet. The time this videos became popular many people cross referenced the sounds with movies. I dont remember which movie tho, but google deeper :)
For many years now, I have been maintaining my resume in rst format and then exporting to pdf (using rst2pdf and a custom style). I version control it using git. Custom modifications for job applications are done on branches that live as long as the interview process. (As I wrote this out I thought it would be nice to also keep a record of the experience in a separate file)

fwiw, I also have tried html, latex and markdown before using rst.
This has me exceptionally excited!

Probably it is not. I think I'm late enough that I missed the UML wave, and I also did well enough on the AP CS test that I tested out of the CS 101 Java course in college, and got thrown into the Haskell one instead, so I was never forced to do UML.

Once in a while I'll fire up Visio and sketch out a state machine or sequence diagram, but all I'm really doing is throwing down some bubbles or rectangles, drawing some arrows between them, and tacking on some labels. It's nowhere near as formalized as UML, but it works well enough.
Computers are broken.

Wait, no. Operating Systems are broken.

Wait, no. It should all just be the Web.

Ah well, I guess its time for something new. Something, not-broken ..
I had not heard Opera has httpd built-in, so it depends: what does Opera's httpd do?
To the average citizen the majority of regulation is incomprehensible because it deals with things they never have to deal with. I care that the food I buy is safe not precisely how regulation and standardization makes it so or that I personally understand it. The entire point of representative democracy is that I don't have to.

The vast amount of "regulation" is simply standardization to simplify trade in the single market. The industries affected themselves tend to want it even while people make fun of it in the media.

The amount of money invested in the EU is really not all that enormous, besides it's not like it disappears in a black hole. It seems like any significant infrastructure project in the EU gets at least some EU funding. Especially Eastern Europe has benefitted greatly from that and we all benefit as the East catches up with the rest of Europe.

In any case you can't just scrap the EU and start fresh and instantly come up with the perfect solution. This is not how politics and policy works or has ever worked. Any non-trivial system is built iteratively through incremental improvement, especially large systems. A more integrated Europe is achieved by improving the EU not by replacing it with some fantasy that will never come to fruition.

I'm younger than the OP (going by the modem speed etc) but I've been experiencing the same apathy for a while (coupled with similar feelings about visual/interactive design), but I'm slightly more comfortable with it now.

Maybe I learned to deal with my own cynicism, but the turning point was probably when I started looking at my work (and computing) less as a goal/ultimate meaning and more as just another piece in peoples' lives; a way for them to accomplish non-tech goals.
I was replying to specifically the last 200 years in America. As you right as you are it has nothing to do with what the comment was about. Also how is pointing out that the ruling class/race is responsible for violence "singling" them out? White people aren't some specific out-group here. Who fought to keep slaves? White people. Who only wanted to free the slaves to put moral pressure on other countries during they eqyptian cotton crisis? White people. Who roamed the country side after slaves were free to Lynch free men for the color of their skin. White people. Who imported crack to the inner cities? Who started the devastating war on drugs? Who defunded public welfare and health programs for the poor? Us every time.

This goes on too. Concentration camps for asian-americans, constant abuses of Native American populations, the constant harassment of immigrant cultures- none of this was imported with immigrants, it's the product of a society they desperately wants to remain homogenous
I absolutely hate UML and regard the associated tools as time swallowing abominations and the main advocates that I encountered as the worst kind of snake oil salespeople.

Of course, other people's experience may differ - but I largely thought it was a big con.
Totally agree, like with all the choices this is also mainly about personality. I have hitched around the world with my wife for 1.5 years and was using paper maps only. Now when we are back I use SatNav, but having the mentality for adventure it enables me rather than limits.

From a societal point of view I would argue this though. Even if we CAN travel the same way as before - actually, in terms of trip outcomes it can be much easier these days - but since technology shapes our choices/culture, when speaking of a general person our will to travel in a more exploratory way diminishes. When before we were forced to learn the 'unimportant' parts of a country (which most often better represent current culture than any museum or special/recommended sighting), nowadays we can very easily avoid any such 'distractions' in the end learning only what TripAdvisor recommends.

Ask HN: Why HN doesn't allow collapsing comment sections?
Why HN doesn't allow collapsing comment sections?

Right now, HN displays all comments in an indented tree structure so the reader can follow a discussion chain. But sometimes I want to checkout an alternative original topic regarding the link. I would go and look for the second highest ranked top(root) comment. But not being able to collapse comment sections make this really difficult. Why don't we do it like Reddit does?
It's not that the dreamers aren't dreaming.

Any advice on how to reorient your career into this maybe? :)
I think there's multiple things there and I don't think taking any particular stance is wrong. I love technology, in the sense that if I get a problem to solve which makes me dig deeper into an area to figure out how things work under the hood, I really dig that. But I don't use Facebook, Netflix, Siri, Alexa or any of those things. I want nothing to do with the Internet of things. I suspect this is common among those of us who grew up with technology, as opposed to those who had technology by the time they grew up. They see technology as a service they should always have available in every facet of their lives, while we see it as something that used to be cool and mysterious, but now has been wrapped by so many commercial interests.

In a direct democracy, its citizens are the government and they've officials as their servants. My two cents :)
If you have Javascript enabled, you should be able to now. It was implemented a few months ago. It even remembers which comments you collapsed, so it's actually better than reddit's implementation.
Indeed we should be afraid of modern advertisers. They exploit the nature of human mind, to manipulate us into decisions that are often not in our best interest.

Politicians then use advertisers to manipulate masses to ensure power for themselfs.

In my country people in last elections elected an Olygarch, multi billionair, who controls whole agriculture, all main media, medical and other industries and now he is writing laws that suits his needs and stealing billions in "donations" from us.
How is this possible? How was he elected in democracy? How is it possible that he has support of majority of people?
Because he has very good PR, advertisement and propaganda team.

Newborn sleep patterns: A survival guide for the science-minded parent
I believe that as more and more atrocities happen because people made the mistake of thinking something resembling free thought still pertains, we may see changes here.

This harks back to some discussions we had where people were looking at the stunning success of the US Right to Keep and Bear Arms (RKBA) community and wondering if its model could be used in this domain, and I and I think others pointed out that that wouldn't have happened without myriad atrocities from the authorities getting us riled up in the first place. That's only barely started happening, if at all, in this domain, so the US RKBA model not yet relevant.

And of course we should well hope those atrocities don't happen in the first place, victories built on bloodshed, especially of the innocent, tend to be ugly and embittering.

Good UML diagrams are hard to write, easy to understand.

I used to write a lot of UML diagrams in Mechatronics Engineering for a big company, where specs were not supposed to change often.
For projects with a long lifetime and a slow change velocity, UML is totally justified.

UML diagrams are not worth it for Software Engineering: code evolve too fast to keep your diagrams up to date.
In that case, I replace UML diagrams by simple sketchs / mockups and simple tables.
Thank you for your feedback! Featured and Popular and Newest use different indices, so each time one is selected the filter is reseted. We'll try find a way around it in near future.
Helpinator already has basic diagram shapes (ellipses, boxes, arrows), and I just think it's enough for a help authoring tool. But the "client" is a bunch of cool old school guys from Australia, they bought an expensive license and plan to use Helpinator both for internal and end users docs, and I just can't say no without arguments. And arguments are that UML is still good for cool old school guys :)
I don't see it. I think you may be projecting your own interpretation on to the parent comment.
I mean that's verifiably not true if you look at the statistics. A majority of prisoners are not in for drug crimes. The ones that are are overwhelmingly in for drug trafficking, which is violent (selling something that physically hurts people).

You can argue that consent should make the act legal, but that doesn't make it non-violent.

Rational Rose was terrible at UX, but surprisingly it was a de-facto standard.
Reading this made me realize I have similar feelings. But I don't think it's technology's fault - I only really got into computers ~6 years ago, and to me then they were fascinating! I think it's just that we start to use them for work, and sooner or later stop caring about how everything works and start wishing it would all get out the way and let me browse the web or write my document.
I think it's curable though. A few days ago I dug out my early code, and felt the old excitement welling up again - I'm going to spend some time trying to find that again.
My point is more that it's not an either/or proposition. Social democracies have significant components each of democracy, socialism, and capitalism.
We use https://github.com/l3nz/whaleware for persistent, database-oriented workload with persistent data. We used to keep persistent data on a data volume, but now mount a native directory instead (2x faster).

I don't remember the specific bugs, but here are our main issues with aurelia:

1. The build ecosystem. We started with JSPM which has a lot of annoying issues,
worst of all a +-700Mo base install that takes 45min to complete, which makes docker
deploys really slow. Another annoyance is a config.json that is re-generated each time
you make a gulp watch and pollutes git diffs. The export config must be manually modified
each time we add a new library or assets and is also a source of errors.
We tried replacing it with aurelia-cli but couldn't get it to work with some
external dependencies. We are considering moving to webpack.

2. Probably related to jspm but loading our applications takes 3-10secs depending on the platform
and thus requires a loading screen, which I find unacceptable.

2. The documentation is in a web-application and is not indexed by Google.

3. Some modules have a javadoc style documentation that requires a lot of reading to do simple stuff.

4. The templating engine is missing an 'else' keyword.

5. Watching for model changes requires manually setting up a watcher and manually tearing it down,
Vue's watchers are far easier to setup.

6. Aurelia is split into many small libraries which means you have to manage a lot of import directives.

7. Aurelia-validation was depreciated and replaced by an incompatible library without much warning, and without migration instructions.

8. Aurelia implements model watching by replacing all fields with getters and setters and thus pollutes the models when inspecting them with chrome developper tools.

9. Aurelia implementation outputs a lot of warnings when using Bluebird.js with default settings.

Otherwise as I said the underlying architecture is fine, but those annoyances add-up. It just needs more polish.

The best way to kill seafood in general would be to use an anesthetic then gut/puncture its nervous system. Clove oil would be the best example of this, check dave arnold's post out http://www.cookingissues.com/index.html%3Fp=5731.html and a good method for fish would be killing it using the ikejime method https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ikejime .
Pi is a quantity, a value that is independent of the way you represent it in symbols. Base 8 is simply a different way of representing a given value, in the same way that 4/6 and 6/9 are two different ways of representing the same value.

In the case of 4/6 and 6/9 there is an agreed canonical way of designating that value, namely 2/3. In the case of pi there is similarly an agreed canonical way of designating the value, namely the symbol π.

I don't think it's as easy as that. Even with perfect macro + micro, your opponent could simply scout you, see what build you're going for, and counter your build.

Pro players do have (quasi-)perfect macro: They build units and buildings exactly when they should be built (especially at the early stages of the game). They also have an excellent micro. What makes one player win against the other is often the choices they make (going for a surprising build, or simply executing an attack in a way their opponent wouldn't be ready for).

So I'm pretty sure an AI that would just mass zerglings and micro them "perfectly" still would be crushed by decent players that know how to counter that rush. (build a wall, and have siege tanks or a similar unit)
I don't get all the hate of elementaryOS distro here on HN as a dev machine.
I've worked before on osx, ubuntu, xubuntu and fedora. Comparing to other linux distributions, it is just another linux-like system and works as a dev machine similar to any other distribution, but IMHO looks nicer.
Please, provide me information what makes elementaryOS worse than e.g. Ubuntu as a dev machine? (I'm a webdev working with cordova/phonegap, RoR, Django and Node.js every day and eOS works like a charm for me)
Do you think a small pittance of airbases and troops from NATO would do anything meaningful against a Russian assault or invasion? Let's be honest, it's nothing more than political posturing and pandering to the west so they can get access to the dangling trade-cookies that only "western friendly" nations get to have.
It's a never ending quiz that asks you the same questions more than once. There needs to be an end!
Any tool in particular that you suggest to make diagrams? Or maybe just pen and paper?

I tried StarUML 2 and it's ok but I found it slightly clunky (it also does not have a realtime collaboration feature as far as I know, that would be nice to have when your team is remote IMHO)
Would you use UML to show BPs to a competely new user of a system?
Yes. Everyday. With a pencil on a notebook.

When I take notes, some concepts are better/faster materialized as relationships between objects or actors or activities

I thought it was more the result of an accumulation of mistakes, for example dead code and repurposing boolean flags (we can do better with types).
If you don't have FDE then you cannot erase PII, is my point.

That hard drive is then forever tainted by PII.

With FDE, that is not the case.
Okay I'm going to spell out a major factor then. What this poster was implying that they are against immigrants because they believe immigrants are inherently prone to corruption based on their country of origin. This ignores centuries of confounding factors such as possible imperial rule, internal resources collapse, or failed economic experiments and makes it purely about nationality. Somewhat importantly, op only listed PoC's nationalities. Dog whistle racism, or coded racism, is all about subtext
More importantly, how do you stop it? These systems have the ability to destroy or compromise anybody that speaks up against them. Everyone has secrets.
