I am using the 13" (maximum possible configuration) for a couple of days now. So far:

- At first, the keyboard felt very different, but now I really enjoy working with it and the may Air's keyboard feels like a toy

- Screen and speakers are gorgeous

- USB-C is nice given you have all the adapters you need

- I find the TouchBar actually useful for some things, e.g. easier formatting in Keynote

But it looks like, there are still some bugs:

- The first adapter I plugged in caused a kernel panic

- After reboot, the login screen is hardly usable. Very slow and looks weird sometimes

- Three finger drag works only from time to time

Edit:

Two things I forgot:

- the media controls in the expandable bar simply do not work - nothing happens when they are pressed

- in Safari, the TouchBar allows to play/pause and advance HTML5 videos. I took a photo of it: http://i.imgur.com/pbYdhMi.jpg

Ask HN: Your ideal job search experience
Job Search sucks. We all know that. Recruiters mostly suck. We know that too. Good ones are like needle in a haystack. Job Sites suck too (for the most part as they are a plain static list of skills which doesn't tell you a whole lot). Most don't list salary ranges and add shit like "depends on experience" which is as good as not saying anything.

This space is crowded. No doubt. Lot of people trying new things and then there is the Beast Linkedin. There are job aggregators like Indeed.

But we still know that something is broken. What will you be your ideal job search process and experience ?
This is based on clang --- it's not a new compiler.

<tangent>

Are the any working open source C++ compilers which aren't based on gcc or clang? I know of TenDRA, which appears to have ceased to exist and was always kind of incomprehensible and non-working and apparently it never got as far as STL support; there Path64, whose github page no longer contains the compiler repo; there's Open64, whose website no longer exists (although there does seem to be a daughter project, OpenUH, which did a release last year)...

Is there anything else?

I had that feeling. It went away after a few more years.

I used to try to fix everything and stay up at night thinking about a strategy to turn the spaghetti code into a well structured framework. What you don't realize before you start is that it takes an awful amount of time and the end user doesn't even notice it.
You make it harder on yourself thinking about the ideal code rather then fixing the problem.

It's all about making it work. And trust me, that in it self can be exciting.

Think about maintaining an old php project where the original developer is all gone and you have to figure it out. You can complain all you want, try to convert it to rails, or you can fix the bugs. That feeling of figuring out and fixing it is where i get my thrill.

> compared that to personal income taxation, which comes out of gross revenue before the costs of being-a-person have been met.

I agree.

Sounds like a use tax would be more beneficial?

The taxable income computations and standard deductions seem to be a complicated way to what a use tax could solve efficiently.

The possible downside is that a use tax could bring in a recession (people stop spending to stop paying tax)

I have no formal economics training and would love to hear from the more educated.

Are there sufficient number of good engineers left with Amazon yet? I wonder.

Look at their search quality. Terrible even at its best. I searched for laptop and wanted to see the cheapest so selected "sort by Price low to high", lo and behold, I was flooded with a never ending list of wired and wireless mice, keyboards, usb cables, and what not. I had to click on multiple pages before I could get to the first laptop entry.

This is ridiculous or do they prevent their engineers for experiencing this pain?

They are better off outsourcing their search problem to Google, just as Apple learnt to outsource the maps problem to Google. No offense intended.
Going back through history and trying to 'spice it up'. Wars take longer, bigger death counts, longer rail travel rides, Waterloo with dragons, etc. It's fun, if only to read history and then see how to turn it up to 11.
I'm working on a Chrome Extension for YouTube that allows you to seek at any point in a video by a phrase search that matches against the dialogue. It will also allow you to search through the video by image captions. The image captions will be computed for discerning frames of the video using a CNN-RNN model called neuraltalk2.

I'm surprised to hear that argument here. As technologists we typically see scale as a positive.

So spreading a social safety net across a large and diverse population strikes me as utterly obvious.

How do you see diversity and scale as being a negative?
Imagine if you could work on startup ideas and software projects simply because you were passionate about solving a problem or creating something, and not because of the money.

I've been in this position, and I've concluded: if you really have no financial constraints, you'd be daft to spend your time working on a startup, or solving the dull, pedestrian problems that are of such utilitarian concern to society.

If you're creative, why wouldn't you just be an artist and make things that are personally and intensely meaningful to you (but only to you)?

If you're an engineer, why wouldn't you just spend your time inventing new esoteric programming languages to implement Conway's game of life, rather than the drudgery of, say, making and debugging a robust automated toll booth, that could save society millions of dollars? That only makes sense if you're anticipating an eventual return to the monetized (wage) economy.

Or - start a family and invest your full time into raising and educating your own children - probably the most rational choice, with the least value to the rest of society.
I definitely identify with this post. I love figuring out each and every bit of the product I work on, how it interacts with other code or products or whatever, before inevitably getting frustrated when the focus is on shoving more features into the product haphazardly instead of fixing existing issues or getting a better understanding of the feature and how it best fits in the product.

I think I've begun to figure out how to use that to my advantage though. Ultimately any product is driven by business concerns, and you have to use that same skill of understanding of how code pieces fit together with how business pieces fit together. "If I improve this interface then the code will be more modularized" isn't going to make much waves with a product manager but "If I invest five man-days now, we'll save ten man-days per year and here's why" absolutely will. It's very tough as business and human concerns are much less structured and easy to understand than algorithms, but it is an important step in being an engineer and not a computer scientist.

Meta: I love this sentence. Is there a term/understanding of how digital culture navigates all the shit we think and talk about online?

We know that reddit has a "reply archetype culture" that is unique to reddit, HN has its own, other sites have theirs - but between HN and Reddit - they basically have the best pulse on the understanding of how people reply to whatever info they are sharing/receiving...

If we climb a bit higher, who is the thought-leader in understanding the modes of and presentations of how humans communicate/participate/comment in a world where we have such extensive access to information and can comment/teach/interact/criticize/etc a VAST array of topics with SMEs in most areas and garner the research of tons of people on a single topic with just a few moments online?

Yes, it's very tricky to classify something as worth subsidizing and something else that doesn't, especially in regard to Art. I would say:

To get an UBI, you would need to do 20hrs work/week. Every other activity would be as is today. i.e. if you have and are able to reach a good crowd, you'll make money with sponsorships and ad revenue.. but you need a big/good enough crowd for that to happen.. and that takes time and effort.. you would have more time for that..

This is interesting. I wasn't aware of Haxe until now.

So it's a runtime system, plus a collection of packages with a standard interface?

It makes a lot of sense to leverage the runtime system of GHC, and basically using it as an "embeddable JVM".

As a journalist-coder, I sympathize with the author's feelings, but I've come to understand that even as much as truth is ingrained into the work of journalism, that there is a lot a journalist doesn't know and can never know about their story. This feeling is most evident in obituary writing, where you're asked to sum the essence of a life in 500 words of someone who until the day of assignment was a complete stranger to you. Once in awhile I've had readers who were close to the deceased write and thank me for revealing things that they hadn't known about the deceased...which is natural, because even close friends have angles and aspects they don't reveal directly to one another. But then I wonder, what makes me think that I, the outsider, got it right?

It sounds like the author is less disenchanted with tech and coding than she is with product development, because there are many ciders and engineers who care as much about the truth but conflict with CEOs and managers. This is no different in journalism, where the saying goes: an editor's job is to sort through the wheat and the chaff and keep the chaff.

To me, the truth that can be found in code is a refuge from the inherent unknowability of the real world that journalism attempts to describe. I tell journalists who aspire to code that as hard as programming may seem to be at first, it's by far less complex and confusing than the real world.

I tried presenting that argument to the judge, but I still got sentenced :(
overly flowery writing made it really hard to get at the core point the author was trying to make.

from what i got she wants everthing to be perfectly done with unlimited time. I would imagine one of the core qualities of software dev is figuring out what level of perfection is acceptable. Not everything in the world need to be 100% perfect, Walmart exists for a reason. That said its a welcome attitude in world full of crappy software.
You can get rollbacks anywhere. Repeatable Read isn't going to stop that...

Under repeatable read, read and write locks will be held till then end of the transaction. You can get deadlocks in SQL Server if you have a transaction you run over multiple sessions that do a SELECT on a set of rows that you then later update.

This occurs because the SELECT puts shared locks on the rows, then attempts to upgrade this lock to an update lock with the UPDATE statement. However, as another transaction also holds a shared lock on the same rows, then your transaction waits for the shared lock to be ended from the other transaction before it runs the update -and of course so does the other transaction, so you get a read/update deadlock.

You get around that by forcing the SELECT to use an update lock.

You can also get a cycle deadlock.

I'm not entirely following what you mean by named locks vs. implicit locks. This sounds like lock hinting, where you specify the type of lock that each query runs. Isolation levels only really specify what locks are held for the duration of the transaction.

You can actually enforce a serializable isolation level on an individual table in SQL Server from a transaction that runs a different isolation level - to prevent phantom reads in repeatable read transactions use the hint WITH (UPDLOCK, HOLDLOCK) - the HOLDLOCK will put a key range lock on the table. This prevents anyone inserting rows into that range, thus ensuring you always get the same results from the SELECT on that particular range you care about.

It is a fair comment. In design you at least have a chance at clean work safe from messy reality.
That being said, you're proposing introducing a dynamical system, and dynamical systems are freaking hard to get right. Extremely sensitive, with counterintuitive consequences. If you want the engineers to even understand why pages are served the way they are, or to improve the quality, you should not be advocating for user-submitted votes.

This is like the opposite of imposter syndrome.

She cares about quality and is upset that no one else seems to care.
The author makes some great points that I initially wanted to dismiss, but I think are actually really interesting. Unlike many other types of engineering/craft, most experienced software developers have settled on an aversion to perfectionism. A good carpenter wants to build a solid house even if no one will ever see its frame. Ditto to an auto engineer at BMW, or a hardware engineer at Apple, or a mechanical engineer at Boeing.

Why do software engineers break this mold? I think it's because building software is inherently cheap, which means it's easy for a large number of people to build things without an obvious economic incentive, which means there's often a product misalignment. When someone builds a house or a car, they are certain their product will get used. Most software, on the other hand, never sees heavy use. Probably 90% of what I've built over my career has never been used, and I've had a productive career.

The most rational thing in software is to ship something functional, then perfect it after it's been proven to be useful and popular. I can see why someone with a craftsman's mind would hate this. I feel a sort of disgust with myself when I ship shitty code, but ultimately I know it's what makes me so productive and valuable to my employers. This disconnect is real, and it's worth talking about.

That's a bit of a cop-out, isn't it, because you're only talking about psychological needs which are inextricably linked with material needs, and there was never any argument about the fact that UBI does solve those.

If that's really the best you can come up with, I think it's safe to say that UBI doesn't offer any solutions for human worth or psychological needs. (I also partially get it; solving material needs is easy compared to psychology.)

And it's funny, I never see UBI supporters propose actual solutions for those. It's always just hand-waving, like they are prepared to give lip-service to the issue, but they're not really interested in solving it. It's self-serving politics by an elite who already has all the frameworks for solving their own psychological needs, as long as the material ones are satisfied. At least you have to give the full employment/Job Guarantee folks credit for actually trying to come up with something.

For what it's worth, it's not like those things are in conflict anyway. UBI and full employment are complementary policies, they don't contradict each other.
