I've got a 2015 Macbook Pro and I'm sorely tempted to get a Surface when/if it breaks down. The detachable screen is a gamechanger, but it's still a bit small (12.3") for my taste.
I just. I just really don't want to have to learn powershell =(
Because his retweeting the hitler glorifying documentary ? Did he talk about holocaust or revisionism online ?
Well... why give more if they accept that?

[definitely what the employers are thinking]
Cofeeshop people will still buy Macs, as well as those looking for status symbols. So there is no danger of Macs going away from demand side.

The issue is that Apple is alienating early adopters by removing ports, charging double for obsolete hardware and introducing gimmicks instead of real innovation. And there is a decrease in OS quality from Apple.
In this market, 1 year. Update your LinkedIn profile and see who contacts you. People with good resumes get contacted 6 months after taking a job, just in case they don't like it, or it's a contract.

That article was written by Mark Suster, smart guy, but he's in startups. Losing a key person from a startup is more painful than most companies.

I suggest you start looking now, because to be honest, that bad office environment you describe is becoming very common. You may have a longer search to find a place with cubicles or private offices. In the meantime, buy over the ear hearing protection to block out the noise and discourage interruptions.

Also, wake up an hour early to work on your job search and learn new things. If you wait until the end of the day, you won't have the energy.
I specified weeks or months later, after initial traction. Take Airbnb for example: their first hire wasn't for over a year, is he only worth about 1-3% of the company? Probably not, but he also probably doesn't care because that 1% is worth $250-300MM after taxes. Most 1st employees aren't that lucky, and would be putting in a similar amount of time and sacrifice for a much smaller payout.
Well that definitely wont ever happen, and Im pretty sure you know it isnt true. I assume you know from your UN, days (or even "months" -- doesnt matter) is an ambiguous metric.

days == months == launches == rounds in reality.

Unless you had the actual, initial idea, no future team (doesnt matter time) is going to be considered a cofounder. Meaningful equity and terms wont be given out after that standing.

Incoming employees need to realize that -- equity++ means nothing; most should request a reasonable salary.
Sounds like he chose to work as a mobile developer, not an iOS developer.

A Mac let's you write for iOS and Android. Windows doesn't.
I'm not saying I think it's a good thing for companies to openly be at each other's throats, but it sure beats passive-aggressive insinuation.
Really?

Yes, I have 2009 Mac Pro (which cost me all of $300 on craigslist, and now also has 32GB of ram, raided SSDs, and GTX 750Ti ) with a usb3 card in it that works just fine. That said, I have Gnome 3 on my laptops and I find it be pretty practical, too.
Why don't float types use a tagged string? It says "tagging is mandatory" in the initial document, but floating point types are then omitted in the official spec
I participated in the Red Bull Dutch Extreme, a 3 day event. The winner of that event told the press that he's always able to continue after breaking down, simply because he wouldn't accept that he reached his limit.

But, while that might sound inspiring and all, I personally found out that if you don't drink enough during events like that, your limits suddenly become very clear.
I like that Microsoft is making an effort to capture the audience that wasn't impressed by Apple's MBP launch, but I can't get over their comparison chart.

They compare the main screen of the Surface to the lower screen (touch bar) of the MBP. That's just a shady comparison. At least be honest.
Panicking all the way to the bank.
Good point. I checked and "press" seems to be bound to physical media. It is apparently disputed if press law also applies to internet media. The more you know...
Disciplined attention to process at scale
It depends on the maturity of the company. If you want everyone going for broke, options are better because there's no downside if the company goes under. If you want people to be more conservative, RSUs are better because they balance downside and upside. So companies aiming for home runs are better serviced by options, while companies looking for predictable quarterly earnings are better served by RSUs.
I'm a frontend dev who worked on Windows for 4 years, and switched to Mac in the last 2.

The biggest hurdle I had with switching was the muscle memory of cmd-[char] vs. ctrl-[char], and tangentially the Windows-specific productivity keyboard shortcuts (mainly win-[char]) and Mac-specific ones.

The second-biggest hurdle is the different mouse movement kinetics on each platform.

These are still "hurdles": I have a Macbook at work, and a Macbook Air and Windows desktop at home. I basically can't do external keyboard + mouse at work for fear of screwing up my muscle memory for when I use my Windows desktop.

All this to say, it's not the camera, graphics card, detachable screen, or whatever is highlighted on this page that makes the switch hard. It's the low level stuff.
Honus is on the auditors to know what works and what doesn't. Auditors tell you "these are the things you must do to be compliant". Then the oilmen have to sell to people who lose money if they're wrong.
I got my job at YourMechanic as a Sr. Software Engineer by applying to a job posting on HN. It wasn't the monthly who's hiring thread but close enough.
You said a lot but I had a hard time getting past the first sentence:

>> 1. A paid off home is a social safety net against homelessness for an entire family and many of their social circles. Even if all of them are unemployed, all of them have a roof over their heads.

> The state provides this safety net in Germany.

Why do you think it's a bad thing for people to be empowered to not need a state safety net to provide them with jobs?

If "most everyone" owned homes outright, then "most everyone" could be easily insulated from such a significant state burden.
Anyone who isn't a little worried should be fired.
Because it's institutional - the way it's always been. That percentage point made sense in the first dotcom boom when it required a lot of effort and capital to get a startup going. Inertia is an incredible thing, it's hard to change habits when the status quo is easier to adopt.
I think they're important improvements to watching video in general, regardless of whether it's porn or non-porn. I think you're incorrect in saying these features are only beneficial to the porn industry, since people browse YouTube in a similar way, and would also benefit from them.

Porn innovates simply because it's a big market, with high competition. According to Alexa, there are 4 video streaming sites in the top 100 sites worldwide. They are YouTube, Pornhub, Xvideos, and Xhamster.

VR is new technology on the way. Which sites do you think are going to be pushing VR streaming online? It's going to be YouTube and those porn sites. I expect the porn sites to be first to adopt since VR streaming is an unproven market, and they'd be more willing to take the risk due to competition. Then, I'd expect YouTube to follow years after.

I'm not trying to say that porn is some golden goose industry that drives the world forward. I'm simply saying they're a big part of video streaming online, and for that reason I expect them to be on the forefront of that niche.
Actually SEAL's are Special Operations, US Army has the Special Forces designation. They are completely different in the context of the military.
"Hello I'm a Mac. And I'm a PC!"

Maybe, but you would need massive collusion with millions of developers that you have never met in order to pull this stunt.

I don't think that sounds very plausible.

i wonder how much MSFT is paying for this native advertising
Why muddy up the actual values where you will have to parse that value with "t:" where t is type?

Why stuff it in one key/val? why not separated where it looks to see if type is present, if so it converts to it/validates against it (you can also place other validations/constraints on it like min/max values, length etc -- that will fall apart if you are trying to stuff it all in one key/value).

Like this:

{
"val":"Hello, world!",
"type":"string",
"validation": "[regex]"
}

Instead of:

{
"s:string":"s:Hello, world!"
}

This is typically how we type fields in JSON when needed as there is no parsing needed on the value. If you need to check type and it is present you can act on it.
I could not agree more. I make my living using Microsoft tech in the analytics space and I absolutely HATE powershell.

Do they give the same prices for the online shopping as they do at the store?

My local store uses Rosie for online shopping and states that only advertised specials are guaranteed to have the store price.
You should probably start the transition off of Logic now, while it's still supported software.
Nice, this is the message I was looking for. Was hoping it would get more love on Mac than Skype4B has.

Our small team within a giant org is using hipchat, but it's near impossible to get anyone else from the org on there for shared projects. Maybe they'll be more receptive to MS Team.
As a dev that frequently works on different linux distros, mac, and Windows, I recommend just getting used to disabling mouse acceleration. That is, if you're using a mouse. On a touchpad, I'd never recommend that, but if you're mouse-only then it makes the transition between the three os's fairly seamless.
Applied to about 11 HN jobs during my last job search (over the course of 2 different monthly posts). Only got acknowledgement from 3:

- One said they decided to merge their two listings and I wasn't qualified for the new joint role.

- One asked me to do a small programming challenge, but afterward indicated they were pursuing a local applicant (they had said upfront relocation would be covered).

- One invited me for an on-site interview weeks later, but I had already taken my current job (found through Craigslist).

I'm not upset at all for the behavior of the companies that did respond. Even if they were working the market, from my perspective they were very respectful.

I am very pissed at the non-acknowledgements and it makes me more and more likely to start sending shotgun emails. (I definitely have crafted my cover letters carefully and researched the companies up til this point.) At the very least, I'm going to start being more extreme and aggressive in my prose, and skip traditional fluff.

That said, I adore my current job, so I don't expect to be leaving anytime soon. :)
Indeed, you have summed up a huge problem with SF area culture: many people think that these fake-nice platitudes are meaningful, and also use them against others on a large scale in their daily life as a form of pervasive emotional manipulation -- often to avoid paying someone money.
There's bash for Windows in Windows 10
What's interesting for me is that nowhere on the site, even when you compare, configure, or try to buy the Surface Book, is mentioned what kind of "i5" or "i7" you get (also for GPU). All you can see when you "configure" is something like "6th Gen Intel Core i7, 1TB SSD, 16GB RAM / dGPU"
Why on earth is there not a way to turn this off? I could be a bit understanding if there was just no UI option for this and I had to make an edit to an X conf file, but it's baffling that there just doesn't seem to be a way at all to turn it off. Some applications like Firefox let you change middle-click to autoscroll but that doesn't help outside of Firefox. I'm so worried I'm going to highlight my password and then absent-mindedly middle click and paste it into a chat twenty minutes later!
Do you have any evidence about that? We are in the HR software field and in my experience being"eligible for rehire" is not a binary fact, and even if it was it might not be at the fingertips of the person giving the reference.
In most social gatherings you have people who are at least vaguely talented singing alone or you have a group singing (maybe even most of the people present); Karaoke is different: it highlights individual lack of talent.
Floating point types are tagged by the use of the floating point grammar. It would require the standard to be clear that the only way to indicate integers is via "i:288", though, or there will be ambiguity.

I don't know if that circle can be squared, either; if you require integers to use the tagged string, it isn't really backwards compatible any more. If you don't, the floats remain ambiguous.

Given that the text of the blog post suggests, probably correctly, that new parsers will be necessary to use this format, I'm not convinced that trying to reuse JSON's grammar is that advantageous. If I'm switching parsers, the competition is no longer JSON, it's the full range of possible replacements, including Protocol Buffers, Cap'n Proto, XML, BSON, and everything else. If you're willing to replace parsers there's probably already something out there for you.

I'm was a similar situation, I love Garageband and there's just nothing that comes close on Windows. When my 2013 Macbook Pro started experiencing horrible wifi & bluetooth connectivity issues I decided to get a Thinkpad Yoga 14 (wacom pen input!) and a refurbished Mac Mini as my dedicated Garageband unit. Total for the two was about $1500.

For all the complaints about Apple dropping magsafe, I'm happy to finally have industry standard charging. Brick is easily replacable. Cable is easily replacable. Should work with any new computer, or even to cell phones and tablets (with a C to Lightning cable if you're an iPhone person).

Apple made a similar switch from one proprietary charging connector (magsafe 1) to another proprietary connector (magsafe 2) and it's a compatibility hassle between computers. For Surfaces it's an even bigger mess, because like you said, MS doesn't make them anymore. A coworker of mine had the same situation with a Surface Pro 1. Computer still works fine, but the power cord died, and good luck getting a replacement quickly. If you do find a 3rd party version, good luck with not burning your house down.
for devs it would actually get our salaries up to the right level, the big tech companies held down wages for 4-5 years.
if you do learn PS, you won't regret. Time well spent.
I think they are just pointing out the MBP has a lower screen resolution...they aren't comparing it to the 'lower screen'/touchbar. See here: http://www.apple.com/macbook-pro/specs/

The main screen of the MBP does in fact have a resolution 227 pixels per inch

Suck it up and use the vulnerability as an excuse to implement better procedures. It'll only be worse tomorrow...
The solar panel, battery, and load are all in parallel. Like this:

https://www.circuitlab.com/editor/#?id=swpddv

There's probably some charge control electronics, but that's the gist of things. When the battery is discharged or shorted, the solar panel would need to raise the voltage to power the load. When the battery fails as an open circuit, the solar panel can power the load directly.
Rather, it encourages people to become good at simulating gratitude in a plausible manner.

It devalues the entire notion of gratitude to engage in that sort of petty manipulation. Gratitude is rendered into a base and superficial thing.

The problem is he's describing exactly the modus operandi of some bad actors on wall street. Cozy relationships, exploiting advantages (gained through unethical, or illegal means), and general obfuscation of how they're able to extract fortunes from the financial system.
If you create more of this, that's not a remedy, it creates more opportunities for bad actors.
I'm in the same boat as OP, as I absolutely love Logic's built-in software synths and composition-friendly UX.

Care to elaborate as why you think Logic is a long-term mistake? You think Apple is transitioning away from support?
I think you misunderstood higher/lower.
I work in health care and to me the worst thing is that there are a lot of disjointed systems you need to bring together. As a lowly developer I don't feel I am qualified to make a judgment about the security aspects but the price the company has to pay for a breach is huge. So it's the uncertainty knowing whether what you are doing is right or not.
Storing validation next to the type like that is a bad idea in general. If you can't trust the incoming data to be valid, then for the same reasons, you can't trust the incoming data's claim for what would make it valid.

Wikileaks claims they use leaks to serve the public's interest. That makes them a public interest organization.

Being politically motivated can very much be a form of abuse. When you have the ability to significantly hinder or tear down public organizations through leaking, I think the public deserves to know how Wikileaks decided what to leak, how they are funded, and what interests they represent.

Simple hypothetical scenario: Wikileaks gets compromising information about a left-leaning and a right-leaning organization, but they only decide to make public one of those leaks because they're biased. Or they receive some damaging info, and use it to trade for political or personal favors in return for suppressing the leak.

Given that there are so many ways that Wikileaks could abuse the public's trust, their 'transparency' rhetoric very much should apply to themselves.

The problem with the term "blockchain" is its lack of a clear definition. A blockchain in its most basic form is nothing more than a data structure: an inversely linked list where each node n (for n > 0) contains a hash of node n-1. Bitcoin, of course, uses and stores this data structure in a certain way, but that was done to solve a very specific problem; it makes little sense for most other applications, and it is not part of what a "blockchain" itself is.
I think you could optimize quite a bit of this. If you made your shape objects more robust, even just {x,y,on}, instead of doing all of those nested for loops, you could start leveraging array methods like filter to only select the ones where on === 1, then do some sort of matrix transform to swap out that x,y coord in the 4x4 with the shape you're replacing.

Either way, cool game! Pretty neat you could do that in sub 400 lines of code.
I agree. They just compare the things that are different, for example detachable screen, touch screen etc. Unless it is something you're actively seeking, that won't be the reason people will move from mac to surface.

A CDN is operating as a man in the middle, by design. It doesn't even make sense to take about "MITM" in the context of CDN. If you have a problem with that, don't sign up to a CDN.
I don't think this is a trick - especially as it states "Pay What You Want". They need money to develop the OS and apps. And asking later will result in more hate.

Ask HN: What's the best simple intake solution?
There are a number of sites I'm currently running that see a fair amount of traffic and contact forms are being filled out on a regular basis (each site has multiple pages, each page I assign a specific value to the form that is used to identify which page is being filled out). These sites are run on Jekyll and I wrote some simple php to send out emails when a form is completed.

Analytics of all sorts is setup to be able track when these are fired off through ajax and virtual pages. Use JS for validation (HTML can do it now, but there are some downsides with that).

I'm looking for a solution that doesn't interrupt current workflow as it's live and number of people are using this and relying on the current setup. I simply would like to drop in another request to a CRM/database of some sort to be able track, scale, and organize or port if needed.

I've considered sending them over to Googlesheets, but that's not the most graceful setup nor does it seem the easiest to manage as more and more pages will be added.

Looking at CRMs they tend to be too robust, have a lot of excess features, have arbitrary restrictions on how many submission filled out, type of forms, etc. Also, they tend to be pretty pricey - but that makes sense because they do offer a lot.

Things I've considered, https://formspree.io/, https://lexicata.com/, http://www.hubspot.com/products/crm, https://www.zoho.com/crm/?src=zoho, and google sheets.
No, it's not. GUIs give amazingly good discovery, when compared to CLIs. Most people use computers as simple tools. They want it to be easy to figure out how to do what they want, not to have to look it up or work it out. CLIs are great for power users, but they suck for casual users - and "most things people do with computers" are casual usage.
Find it strange I can't locate the screen size of the Surface Book on this comparison page. Have to go to Tech Spec page.
Are you sure about that? Just checked the tech specs on the MBP and it seemed correct (2560x1600 = ~4.1M / 227ppi)[1].

Edit: ie. main screen (3000x2000) / main screen (2560x1600)
