red meat is as insulinogenic as white sugar.

It may not raise blood sugar levels as much, certainly

It would be more appropriate to rewrite the first as "red meat is also insulinogenic"

As far as I can tell, combustion of methane seems to produce significantly more energy (around twice as much) as burning hydrogen, for the same amount of oxygen. Note that burning carbohydrates also produces carbon dioxide in addition to water.
I chose Dell because the 13" screen fit my needs more than the 14", and they have have committed to supporting Linux while Lenovo has been sluggish to release necessary drivers (there was some backlash here and on Reddit 1-2 months ago about this). My Dell has a mild coil-whine problem, and the keyboard is probably less desirable than the Lenovo's-- you can go to a Microsoft store and try out the Dell's keyboard if you have one nearby.

I have a Precision 5510 (XPS 15 Pro model), and was having nothing but trouble with their Thunderbolt/USB Type C docking station. After I threw that away and bought a pair of these [1] USB 3.0 to HDMI/VGA/Eth/USB dongles plugged into a 7 port USB hub, I've had no trouble, and no sacrifice in convenience. This was on Win 10. I believe those dongles are now useable also on Linux.

Note that i7 laptop quad core chips are not out yet. On my current dual core i7-6500u 16gb (HP pavilion 15), it noticeably slows down with a modest number of chrome tabs (50 or so spread between several windows, but many of them suspended).

Side note: are there any quad core skylake i7 laptops with a good battery life, like closer to 8 hours than 4?

However, as compared to Trump ? jeez not even the leader of India's right wing quasi-religious party could ever say "ban muslims" in India.

I have a feeling that we are going to see a lot more of these articles... the liberal media in the US is trying to make sense of what just happened. And the closest available model is the Indian democracy.

The parent implied counting, not the natural numbers, need two dimensions. But even in Set Theory you need at least one level deep nested sets to build the natural numbers. Qunatification is the (a?) difference between zero and higher order logic, I suppose.

Sounded interesting, but it seems abit misleading to me.. The title says "unlimited" and the page says:

yet the pricing page says:

> up to 100 outgoing emails per day

Even the most expensive plan says 2000. I'm not saying it's unreasonable, but it's certainly not unlimited in that respect.
You have to counter-balance that benefit by the fraction of adults who otherwise would be working productive jobs but instead decide to spend their hours and BI rock climbing, playing video games, or writing bad poetry.

ProtonMail: Secure Email Based  in Switzerland
Most offices I visit no longer provide RJ45 to the desk. It's all wifi nowadays, which makes sense since you're supposed to get 600+Mbps on a modern access point (which never happens, but that's the sales pitch).

At least the Lenovo Carbon X1 has a dongle for RJ45. Useful when that `docker pull` ends up downloading a 1.5GB container...
When I think of Uganda, I do net get a picture in my mind that says fair politics and fair trials, for some reason.

And if it costs more than other options, why do poor people choose the 6$ option?

I think the competition is healthy, it is not like they have a really good proven school system in place. For government to shut this down because their own schools are getting less students seems like unreasonable.

Seems to me this shut down is more based on opinion of the opposition (other school systems). Is there proof that these schools are not performing or not educating what needs to be educated. Have regulators checked licenses of teachers?

"The poor are individual actors who can make informed decisions on how to spend their hard earned money,"
I agree with this to a certain extent.

It was one of the major reasons I went with a Lenovo x250 when buying a new laptop ~18 months ago. I really liked the XPS13, but I do use my webcam regularly and having it so low just seemed like it would be very awkward. (The other major reason I went with the x250 is that I'm a big fan of the trackpoint).
it would look nice

In your opinion, perhaps. I don't think the designers at Apple agree. If they did, I think we would see something similar to the BreakSafe from Apple.
I don't see how anyone can call this a developer edition laptop if it has the same keyboard as the rest of the XPS line. XPS keyboards are mushy chiclets with big gaps between keys.

Meanwhile, Dell's Latitude line has excellent keyboards, at least as excellent as you're likely to get in a laptop these days.

“These features cannot be organised into a system; many of them contradict each other and are also typical of other kinds of despotism or fanaticism. But it is enough that one of them be present to allow fascism to coagulate around it.”

Umberto Eco is a smart guy but that essay is pretty silly. Fascism: anywhere, everywhere, and you can tell it's coming by any number of contradictory and non-definite phenomena.
I think quite many of us developers are happy with not having the thickness of the laptop doubled just to add an ethernet port. You already need to carry a chunky ethernet cable with you, so adding an usb-ethernet dongle isn't that big of a price to pay.

This page shows them all.

The Bluetooth is excellent to both computer (using included dongle) and cell phone (which I use all the time). The microphone is extremely good; filtering out all background noise. The sound is adequate for speech and loud enough for speech. They are not good with music and the maximum volume is just over adequate. (plenty enough volume for most environments, but not enough to blast music) The headset is light and the charge lasts for hours and hours.

Yeah, we also love to give our friends shit here in America :) But to clarify, the group text began before they met me. They only told me about the texts after realizing I was Americanized and deciding I was "one of them". However, I do conclude that there was a degree of malice to their jokes. This is because while they were telling me about the texts, they voiced their legitimate concerns about living with asian people( But credit to them for being 100% honest and opening up discussion). A couple of my roommates even went on to say that the international students were ruining the social climate of the university, and ruining their chances of having a traditional, party-boy college lifestyle, and that colleges were accepting way too many Asians. (FYI I attended UC San Diego which had 50% asian people).

However, after this episode, we maintained great relationships as roommates, and yes, they still made fun of my driving, my small eyes etc., but at that point, I knew it was all in good spirits :)
Also if that is a concern for you, a postfix server on a $5 digital ocean droplet will allow you to send any number of emails.

Most of these projects were planned and approved many years ago. One of the challenges with development is that you start a project knowing people won't move in for 3-5 years (when construction completes).

Aside from Ethernet, aren't all the other requirements depend on the kind of development you do? For me, if keyboard is convenient and I get enough Ram/CPU/Disk space I don't care how serviceable or moddable it is, I still can do my Java back-end work.
The 5 year lifetime is more of a money question, I'd prefer a new system in 3 years.

The trackpoint is the only thing that keeps me on Lenovo laptops (Carbon X1, probably P50 next). I keep the touchpad disabled on my laptop.
Ask HN: Is climate change making you reconsider your tech home base?
While I'm in my 30s and hope to be through most of my productive years in tech before the hammer drops, I can't help but think my kids might not want to live somewhere with 150+ days at or above 90 degrees. This question could also be rephrased as: how do you think climate change will impact the tech hubs of the future? Perhaps I'll just start a food truck serving breakfast tacos and BBQ in Seattle.
Seek Support Organizations Based on Startup Stage
Monitors still require a physical presence in the local area(building + substantial energy source). On the other hand, a single VR device can last a student for years and it doesn't require travel to-from class.
I contacted their support and got several replies very quickly. Looks like they kind of slapped together the coupon thing. You can't apply the coupon until after you switch to a paid plan, so it doesn't take affect until the next billing cycle. But Dejan from Migadu was really helpful, and I expect they'd refund half of your first bill if you want it.
I think you misunderstood. The physical location of the webcam is so low on the device that it can only show the user from slightly underneath. This can't be fixed in software.
Because one way to appreciate beauty is to show others. One of my math teachers in school had no kids, lived frugally. He could have retired a long time before I ran into him.

Instead, he gave me extra classes and put me on the math team. He spent lots of his own time to show me the interesting bits while also making sure I wouldn't get anything less than the top mark on the exams.

You're right though. It's not enough to rely on passionate people, there's not enough of them. I mean I like math too, and I'm not gonna be a teacher. You can't even send your own kids to school on a teacher's salary.
"unintegrated" is the key word. If a Chinese guy comes to America and walks the integration path, from just visiting, to being hyphenated, to eventually becoming mainstream American, there is no cultural stress or taboo against that from his own people because the Chinese culture is not going to run out of participants anytime soon.

However black Americans have had the weird status of being majority in some states with a unique subculture and history while also being a tiny minority across the entire country. Now mix in relatively recent interstate migration and race mixing and their subculture has an interesting problem where if they integrate, its always better for every individual, but then their unique culture and history as a group will be annihilated. White people and "americans in general" have a variety of social signalling goals they share and the black folk in cultural self preservation mode will self police to maintain their unique non-white non-american-in-general accent, views about education, work, religion, food, criminality, even down to card games and sports. See also the culturally sensitive area of insults like "acting white" and the concept of being an uncle tom.

Meanwhile for the majority locals, all of us came from groups that immigrated and integrated and created our own shared mythologies about all kinds of ridiculous stuff. Someone who insists on being an unintegrated Polish patriot, for a random example, is seen as inadequate to integrate or too dumb to successfully socialize or at best misguided, but either way is going to get a really low social status from the integrated americans. There is some "slap in the face" animosity, what we're not good enough for you?

So you can see the source of the stress in this unique situation. If they integrate and become Americans, that's likely extremely good for them on an individual level, but then their culture would literally be annihilated from the planet because there is no reservoir of afro-american culture other than the state of Mississippi. If they don't integrate, intentionally or by failure, they'll be seen as extremely low social status by descendants of those who successfully integrated. So we end up with a crazy love hate relationship can't live together, can't live apart, tons of drama.

The final cultural lesson is everyone already involved kinda knows of this uncomfortable situation so its hopelessly socially inappropriate to discuss outside some hollywood comedy or drama movies. There's a lot of pressure from both sides and the pressure is worst on those least capable of handling pressure, that being young folks full of hormones and lacking in wisdom, patience, and logic. Meanwhile other folks think the problem exists solely so they can get into social media holiness signalling spirals which doesn't really help anyone on any side. And there's plenty of racists on both sides with varying ratios of liking their own folks and hating the other folks egging things on. So the map drawn for foreigners has "here be dragons" for good reason.
If you're looking for a larger laptop with the same design, look also at the Dell Precision 5510 line, not just XPS 15. I've been waiting for an XPS15 with a good CPU and without discrete GPU, and gave up - they only do i3 version.

Then I've noticed the new Precision 5510 uses the same XPS-like design, gives you i5-6640HQ with Intel GPU (not sure why they don't offer i7 without Nvidia too).

Anyway, got mine a few days ago, seems working flawlessly (except the usual UEFI / Secure Boot stuff). Comes with Ubuntu out of the box, seems to work fine with Qubes so far.
Remote workers, who represent a growing population of developers, use their webcam daily to chat with colleagues.
If it's a primary development machine then sometimes it's going to need to do some number crunching. It doesn't matter that it's not made for it, sometimes you don't have time to spin up an aws instance.

Some of these times internet access is needed for number crunching. This is when it really comes in hand

That and moving around 30gb backups of numbers you've crunched.
I don't see why a social element couldn't be involved in a VR education.

How is the current school-social-experience ideal anyway? Specifically I'm thinking about bullying and the limited time that is actually spent solving problems with peers.
Wondering if there is an awesome list of sanction notebooks used by startups/tech companies? i.e. approved notebook brand and models to be purchased for employee.
OP here. That is a business opportunity I have pondered a lot about... Do you think its a viable idea?
ssh einchan@einchan.god.jp

Yeah, that's not going to happen any time soon. I think the version you are looking for is "GNU Advocate Edition". Other than the Ethernet port and the camera placement, it seems like an excellent notebook for developers.
Hi, thank you for your comments. It depends how you look at it. All email services have limits. However, the limits we set are more as a protection for ourselves and our users.

We have to deal with spammers, phishing attacks etc. We diversify based on the actual, realistic needs of the organisation. For instance, a startup of 3 would not need to send 500 emails a day, that is a clear red flag. In practice we have yet to have a case of a user reaching those limits. Thanks again!
These companies need to screen more for motivation rather than pure talent. Stop with the boiler-plate job descriptions: must have 3-5 years experience with xyz technology etc. AND I kid you not: must have a minimum of a 3.5 GPA in STEM - talk about lack of imagination. Put some creative thinkers in the HR department please!
Regardless how fast wireless is, wired connections is always faster. It helps for installing the OS, pulling large data sets, etc... Also few USB-ether dongles support pxe boot.
It didn't stop them from cheating, but they had to make the effort (a quite complicated effort at that) rather than just ignoring the regulation.
It appears your definition of Developer is more on the "Open source enthusiasts" (for lack of a better term).

Most developers don't care about their hardware being open source, or maintenance or unlockable UEFI, and they definitely would never compile a UEFI firmware.

Most of them probably can ignore Ethernet in favor of wifi most of the time, and can use a usb-to-ethernet adapter when really needed.

Long life is probably as important to them as it is important to everyone else.

The only real issue I think is being able to run windows, though if you are buying a linux laptop when a windows laptop of the same ilk is available, I'm not sure how much you care.
True, but most startups leave the world worse than they found it. At least this way all that happens is a hole gets dug.
I am 100% aligned with preventing climate change, but after Trump got elected, my hopes of prevention are diminishing. Hence the rhetoric.
Homogenous coordinates have accrued really overcomplicated language around the very simple idea that something appears half as large twice as far away.
Are there dongles that can do 10, or even 1Gbps?
I can send you (or anyone else) an invite if you'd like one - send the email address you'd like inviting to blog@dantup.com.

I don't use it that much so I don't have any real opinion on how useful/good it is.
I do however like the idea of something UBI-like that is not defined by needs (with all their inherent negotiability and the destructive bickering that comes with it) but directly by the capability of the underlying economy.

If you squint at the right angle, this is essentially the argument for "privatizing" Social Security. Even in that limited form it's a huge political loser (for a mix of good and bad reasons, IMO).
I also have a soft spot for subs that reveal high craft in unexpected places. r/conduitporn is also on this list.
