The single thing that keeps me with macOS is a universal key that is truly universal. Apps on mac are built around the command key. The windows key and the linux super key don't have anywhere near the consistency across applications that the command key does. `cmd + shift + [` flips through tabs in every application I have. In linux, it works only if I set up the keys for that application, and only if that application has the ability to set those keys. I spend more time in xkb config files than I do programming.
Self reported salaries are just never going to be a good data source. I was hoping since this was LinkedIn and they have tons of resources they'd be doing something different, but they don't seem to have made any progress on the many attempts people make each year to do salary analysis in this way. Anyone have any good ideas for actually gathering accurate salary data?

And Microsoft's post doesn't seem to mention "Russian" anything. Compare that with the coverage in the style of "Microsoft CONFIRMED Russians help HIM"

Edit: The titles of the articles and the coverage make a logical jump that the authors of the texts took care to avoid. The jump is only to be explained by the need of the influence of the perception of the readers shortly before the elections.

In what language? In all that I know, assignment evaluates to the value that was assigned (that is, if it evaluates to anything at all). Also in most languages that look like C, 0 evaluates to false. Therefore it will never seek food.

The issue we were having with Unity's webGL exporter is that you would end up with tens of megabytes of javascript code (the entire unity 3d engine in javascript, plus all your game code!), not to mention your assets. So you get a fairly large download, and then your browser spends tens of seconds loading and parsing the javascript, if it even loaded without errors.

This is for an app that loads in 5 seconds on an iPhone 5.

And remember, the target demographic for Facebook games is mostly people with lower end hardware and not cutting edge browsers. So they probably wont have asm.js support, and the loading will be even slower for them on their older hardware.
I know about that post from 2013 and I still don't agree.

Just like I don't agree with how Google implemented AMP, making google.com a link redirector that didn't exist before and was actually used in the fishing campaign, specifically:

http://seclists.org/bugtraq/2016/Apr/70

That is what was actively used to fish the logins from Podesta et al.

Google's response:

https://sites.google.com/site/bughunteruniversity/nonvuln/op...

"tooltips are not a reliable security indicator"

Translation: "we don't look at that sh.t"

"poses very little practical risk."

See how Podesta et al. were tricked.

"offers fairly clear benefits"

Translation: "For us. Muahhaha."

LOL! I doubt many people are looking to switch, the article just said that as it is trying to market something. Funny that HN readers are buying it so gullibly.
Well, I think it's commendable and shows how much they care about their work. Caution and deliberation seem to be lost virtues in most of the JS universe. Take as much time as you need, Webpack team!
Eh, that functionality has a tendency to break after being used a few times in OSX.

Specifically, dragging images from your browser to the finder works the first few times, providing an overlay image which becomes a file icon as you hover over the finder window. A few transfers later, the file icon stops appearing. Then the semi-transparent image stops appearing; though the files are still being copied. Then, silently, the copying starts to fail completely. Not fun.
If there is true predictive power in the model, the other insurance companies will see their costs (and premiums) rise as lower risk customers switch to Admiral and higher risk customers switch to them.

The GPL and payment are orthogonal. They could GPL a piece of software that stops working after 30 days if you don't pay. You decide if to compile out the code that checks for the payment (and possibly distribute your version) or pay them those money.
> Guns don't kill people (and don't get sentenced for that), people pull triggers and kill other people. But that's much harder to fix, so let's find some easy scapegoat, right?

http://www.factcheck.org/2013/02/did-the-1994-assault-weapon...

> Other studies, he said, have suggested attacks with semiautomatic guns – particularly those having large magazines – “result in more shots fired, persons hit and wounds inflicted than do attacks with other guns and magazines.” Another study of handgun attacks in Jersey City during the 1990s, he said, “estimated that incidents involving more than 10 shots fired accounted for between 4 and 5 percent of the total gunshot victims in the sample.”

> Koper, Jan. 14: So, using that as a very tentative guide, that’s high enough to suggest that eliminating or greatly reducing crimes with these magazines could produce a small reduction in shootings, likely something less than 5 percent. Now we should note that effects of this magnitude could be hard to ever measure in any very definitive way, but they nonetheless could have nontrivial, notable benefits for society. Consider, for example, at our current level of our gun violence, achieving a 1 percent reduction in fatal and non-fatal criminal shootings would prevent approximately 650 shootings annually … And, of course having these sorts of guns, and particularly magazines, less accessible to offenders could make it more difficult for them to commit the sorts of mass shootings that we’ve seen in recent years.”

It doesn't quite work that way. There is a reasonably consistent trend among studies that somewhere between 3% and 5% fewer gun deaths occur if magazines are smaller than 10 rounds. That is also more than the margin of error for such studies.

Similarly, even a 2% reduction saves ~1,300 people a year.

So pretending its a mere scapegoat is...stretching quite a bit. Now you can argue a thousand or two thousand people dying is an acceptable cost to maintaining the status quo but that isn't the argument you tried to make.

Smaller magazines provide a margin of safety of several seconds which you might actually be able to get clear and accuracy is frequently low, so that first shot after reloading is likely to miss.
In the USA it's 13.5%, and I'm willing to bet that in urban US areas it's even much higher. Here in London (UK) it has to be at least 20%-30%.

But yeah, not everyone's using Macs. It's the biggest vendor, but there are more non-Macs than Macs.

On the subject of "law courts", I wanted to ask: Are Greeks able to even (practically) read the codified laws and regulations of their country online?

I ask because this is still pretty difficult in America, as most state and local law publishers do not publish them as (free) ebooks and make it hard to use their websites for anything but a reference. (I.e., it is difficult to read the law through and through online, as versus looking up individual sections.)

2. Contact them about your interest and goals.

3. See what happens.

Good luck.
I think for those who are not able to install and configure Linux manually from scratch not using a graphical installer would be better to use Windows 10 (not a bad OS), with no irony. Since such kind of articles and "simplified" systems like that "elementary OS" do hide Linux complexity. One day user will face a really serious OS issues and will stuck with that not knowing what to do (for example not bootable system after the update, it's not so likely, but might happen with Linux).

Definitely, you should be able to get a shipping price without going into the checkout, Amazon makes it quite difficult compared to Aliexpress & eBay when it comes to finding out shipping prices, to the point that I avoid shopping on there with a rare exception occurring every 6 months or so.

For the average shopper, pricing in shipping and sales tax will make them buy more online. Breaking out sales tax has caused a 9% sales drop in states Amazon charges sales tax in.

Because for most people, "0 dollars" is not a sensible answer to that question. Getting something for free is perceived as a separate kind of action from purchasing something, even if you can ultimately boil it down to the same "exchange $X for Y" process.
Revocation is a solved problem for pure capabilities [1,2]. Privilege escalation is typically not so important in capability systems because processes run with least privileges. There is a pattern whereby authority can be increased if you're granted a special type of capability -- the operation is called "rights amplification" in capability parlance, but these capabilities are closely held by the trusted base.

Finally, the reason restricting delegation doesn't generally work is that a process can just proxy access to the undelegable capability, which means you haven't actually attentuated authority in any meaningful way. At best, you've merely reduced the bandwidth, so overall performance suffers, and you've also sacrificed compositional reasoning.

Anyway, that's why I initially asked for any design documents for Redox's capability system, so I encourage ticki and any others working on this to write a rough draft of the ideas. I know plenty of capability people who would happily provide feedback.

First, the mbp is 3 pounds (from your own link).
Second, I looked up the xps 15 also. Not only it is 50% heavier, but it is also much thicker and in bigger in general. Finally, battery life seems to be 5h vs 10h of the mbp. These are different compromises that will please different people and not be acceptable for others.
Keep in mind that ADHD has two subtypes: Hyperactive and Inattentive. Where Hyperactive individuals express themselves physically, Inattentive individuals get lost in their thoughts.
crytek has offices in many countries and employees are not guaranteed to have the same rights and expectings in all of them. the truth is also that the managers of crytek spend most of their time coming up with the lies they need to tell to keep people waiting for money and it works because people know they also cannot fight an international battle against a big company.
Unless you're a very senior executive or in a union, it's pretty rare to have a constructive dismissal clause in your employee contract. For most companies, 85% of the point of having that contract is to reaffirm at-will employment.
IIRC from when this was originally reported, this was already being exploited in the wild prior to release. The only reason to not go public is to give the vendor a chance to patch it prior to general exploits being available. If exploits are already happening, waiting only endangers more people as they can't take actions to mitigate a danger themselves if they don't know about it.
I've played around with it a bit - someone packaged Krita as a snap for Ubuntu and I wanted to test installing it. Looked good, more for painting like you say but looked powerful enough for basic image editing. I've seen people produce beautiful digital art with it
I've given up on Signal (for now at least). Yes the encryption and privacy is great but without a decent desktop client it's hard to get others in my network to switch to it.

Two things bothered me about the desktop application - it runs as a Chrome application rather than in a tab (not sure if there is a technical reason for this?). If I care enough out privacy to run Signal then I probably don't want to broadcast to anyone watching my screen that I'm running it (like a boss walking past etc) and would rather bury it amongst my other open tabs. I also couldn't find any obvious way to sign out of or lock the desktop client - if this isn't just user error then it seems like a significant oversight for a secure messaging app to not allow the user to control access if someone else was able to access the computer.

It also really bothered me that signal doesn't give me better control over what contacts can see my phone number. When I signed in I could see phone numbers for a contractor I had used for remodelling my home. The desktop client had them listed as someone to message on the default page. It's not a huge deal in this situation but if the phone number was for someone I no longer wanted to be in touch with (a former partner etc) then there was no obvious way in either the Android app or desktop client to block them. I assume that the other user can also see my details - security should include having control over who can see your phone number.

Yeah, everyone is over complicating the issue. Why is it so hard to understand that people want UNIX without the pain?

Unfortunately that doesn't exist apart from macOS right now.
Awesome UI/UX is where everything falls apart. Everyone wants something different and just about everything beyond a rectangle with a few handy buttons on it actually slows productivity. Nothing's worse than waiting for an animation to complete so you can click a button you have to click 100 more times today. On top of that, people get bored really fast and then everything has to be overhauled for absolutely 0 gain.
I didn't pretend anything. Even if your property is taxed at €500k although it's worth €250k, you are still paying very little compared to Denmark. And actually, it is close to zero.

Many of my friends, all middle class, pay €5-10k per year in property taxes for what is really modest 100-150m2 apartments or houses in or around Copenhagen. Are you anywhere close to that in Athens?
It'll work, it just won't get quite as many conversions as it might otherwise. The same principle applies to closed-source software, after all: you have to provide the binary, so I'll just modify the binary to give myself an infinite trial. This is entirely doable, but enough people still pay to make it a viable business in many cases.
the point of promises was to have a standard contract for callbacks, including error handling, and that contract can be passed around, listened on later, etc. It was a drastic improvement over callbacks. Async/await is just minor sugar over that to make your eyes happier. You still need to reason about the code the same way. You still need to remember they're promises (so you can, let say, await Promise.all(...) to avoid waiting on every single step individually). It doesn't really "add" anything. Promises did.

Too bad promises had a lot of glaring flaws that are taking forever to fix (or are unfixable). We're just getting to the point where unhandled errors are dealt with properly. Composing promises with non-promise constructs still suck. There's still only 2 paths (success and error). The flatMapLatest scenario still suck.

Still, promises were the improvement. Async/await is just sugar.

It's fine to be opposed to the object pipeline in powershell. Enormous failure? Not so much.
That comment fully captures my entire method of working. I have been diagnosed with ADHD though. I resisted the diagnosis for a really long time, because I'm very high achieving, but knowing really helps manage it in the long run.

Honestly, software development is a really natural field for someone with ADHD. I half joke the reason why I learned how to program is because I hate repetitive tasks, but I think my inability to concentrate on tedious work really was impetus to learn how to program.

My friends in college, all of whom focus fully on one task at a time, used to joke that it was impossible to catch me working, cause I was always doing something else at the same time.
Not sure if it's so hard, but patents certainly exist for Apple's trackpads.
It's not so much the presence of USB-C ports as it is the absence of anything else. For example, the Dell XPS 13 9350, has a USB-C port, but it also has 2 USB-A ports and a memory card reader.

Until USB-C becomes the universal standard it's meant to be, consumers are better served by having multiple ports on their PCs to choose from.
Yes, ADHD is literally when these "strong expressions of typical traits" turn dysfunctional. I was primarily led to getting a diagnosis because I couldn't even sit down and enjoy videogames or hobbies like you describe.
> The newspaper / print media industry generally is doing abysmally poorly.

They're not doing well but I wouldn't use the term abysmal. Print media is still declining but a lot of publishers are offsetting much of that loss with online revenue.

> I agree with the article. Vala is a wonderful language, but it doesn't have the necessary tooling built around it.

Oh, and I even found the link.

If you remove the ability for a human to feel emotions, they have a very hard time making decisions. They can still reason about their options, but they just can't decide. I don't have the citation at hand but there are actual case studies.

Although we think that we make decisions rationally, the reality is that we make decisions emotionally. Our rationality is not the master of our emotions--it serves them.

So if you want a computer to think like a person, you need to give a computer emotions. To my knowledge there is very little academic work in this direction. To use my favorite example, no one is trying to build a self-driving car that just doesn't feel like driving that day.

And to return to the point above, we think that we think a certain way. But when we think about our thoughts, we're using the same mind that we're analyzing. It's certainly possible that we are fooling ourselves. Maybe even we don't think about things the way you describe--but we can't tell the difference, because we can't get out of our own minds, or into someone else's mind.
Git Bash + ConEmu + Chocolatey is pretty close to perfection IMHO.

I think that the cases that the inheritance has been rejected is for property that is of little value.
The article is doing a disservice when it does not break down what inheritances they are talking about.

Home ownership in Greece is quite sacred (around 70% own a home) and the current government is even avoiding forced evictions for those that do not pay their home loans.
What incentive do people have to lie about their salary (assuming it's anonymous)?
Well yes, but the question posed in the article is stupid. Apple and Microsoft aren't using "such old processors". They are using the previous generation, because that's what was available to them.

Both companies, according to the article, where in fact using the very latest GPUs and CPU on the market, had Intel and Nvidia not released new chips just as Apple and Microsoft where beginning production.

If it where purely cosmetic people would not be fighting it. Instead, there is opposition specifically because it is a meaningful, though small change.

A purely cosmetic change would be requiring all guns to be panted orange.

PS: Most people don't have tools or mechanical know how, making 'simple' changes difficult.
Apple would have received early samples of Intel & nVidia's chips under NDA months before they were publicly announced.
My physical health and environment make an enormous -- fundamental -- difference in this.

They almost never do - US sales taxes vary by state, often city, and sometimes county. The combination of these is basically a list of tax by zipcode, so publishing them has more in common with calculating shipping than it does for us.

I know it doesn't really help (I'm facing the same problem @ 21%!), but the current conversion is a lot fairer than they've been in the past.
Lol. :)
Why not Manjaro? Does Apricity ship Arch packages passed through the its own repositories doing some testing and making sure core components are not broken and work well one with each other in the Apricity terms and in general? Manjaro does that, there is a kind of release cycle, every 1 or 2 week updates come, ie updates come not directly from the Arch repos (except AUR stuff obviously).
So this is how rumour becomes truth - the US government accuses Russia of hacking the DNC, either because they have some kind of proof (unlikely) or because it serves their global interests (likely), media publishes articles of this myth, and then completely unrelated articles embed this "truth" in the title, even though the content doesn't really require it. Abhorent!

Transplants are niche and expensive already. If your artificial kidney is medically reliable and solves rejection problems, every insurance will pay for them instead of transplants. Looking around a bit, kidneys cost more than $50,000 up front, with the possibility of $30,000 a year in antirejection drugs.

Even just the $50,000 seems like something that a scientifically repeatable production process should be able to compete with (there is substantial demand so quite some opportunity for cost savings by scaling up).
Honestly, this looks abysmal. This is like 1/1000th of the complexity and flexibility of macOS. What are you actually so upset about that warrants building a new, hideous, kiddy-version of mac OS?
