some other way to try to protect their jobs from outsourcing

But if the team is a "black box" with their only contact with the rest of the firm being mediated by the Product Owner, then that team could be anywhere. I always saw Agile as a sly trick to make outsourcing easier by packaging the team into a self-contained unit.
I was asking if they were stored in the browser or in your servers. In fact I wanted to know if they would be synced on multiple computers.

It's hard to judge though, since the image has compression artifacts. Also hinted anti-aliasing may look well on one monitor, and bad on another (RGB horizontally vs vertically, or other arrangement). But ignoring this, the outlines look very nice in both.

And having said that, I actually prefer fixed non-anti-aliased, in fact very pixelish "Anonymous Pro 8" everywhere.

He has a brand new display (which in displays, is <5 years) and was going to connect it through a triple chain of dongles and adapters?

Display <> DisplayPort-to-mDP2 <> TB 3 to 2 <> USB-C to TB 3 <> MacBook

What is going on?
Riding the Emotional Startup Curve
Yes! I've been watching his lectures as a supplement to my own comp architecture class.
Not supporting DisplayPort with an adapter is just insane. Apple's new top-end laptop is incompatible with the most common way to connect external monitors?

I've been willing to give Apple and the new MBP the benefit of the doubt on this stuff, and in particular I don't mind that it needs dongles now if that means we get universal USB-C adoption faster. But the dongles need to actually exist and work now!
This sounds ludicrous but the base problem really isn't that odd. If your output is so completely out of the league of the other people in the company, the business has to treat that as a risk. What happens if you get run over tomorrow? Great, now we have an unmaintained product. There is probably liability attached to that too.

But there are better available solutions than just erasing the existence of this super-developer. They could train the other staff. They could hire better developers.

Seriously, there are so many things that don't involve scrapping this developer's existing work producy... It makes me suspicious that their brilliance isn't the only problem. A lone-wolf with a big head can really tough to work with.

But if that's a misapplied stereotype, he should be talking to his managers to dissolve the risk amongst the other developers safely, and/or hire new ones for this product.
The problems with the new macbook "pro" seem to keep on growing. I am really surprised that Apple did not find the connecting to external display issue in internal testing.

Doesn't sound like crippling to me.

> Deciding not to implement the feature in the first place, well, that's a reasonable decision given their desire for functionality to be cross-platform. But accepting it, then turning around and removing it later even though it was already implemented, that's just spite.

Well this ignores the challenge of maintaining an open source project.

While, over time, a lot of today's annoyances with the new Macabook's will fade away, the lack of ESC key is a deal breaker for me.

I tried it at the Apple Store and it's pretty much unusable. (It had the seen issue as the writer, apparently relying on the physical click to know whether or not I had pressed it. In addition, I also mistyped it a lot. Maybe hack to replace the whole touch bar as one single ESC key will do it...)

I've been told to remap the ESC to CAPS LOCK to vim usage, but I seem to be one of a rare breed who uses the latter the way it was intended to be, so that's a no go for me.

That can't be true. Most ex-musicians I know quit for many reasons, and most of those were self-taught.

Posture is important so you don't hurt yourself while sitting on a backless piano bench for hours on end. Finger position is important because playing with splayed fingers will limit your repertoire down the road. The best way to prevent bad habits is preventing them from forming in the first place.

The same goes with guitar. I don't teach, but I could and I can assure you that the two exercises I would begin students with would be pretty bad, but so fundamental that it'd be inexcusable of me to not teach them this stuff.

Do a down strum on each one count while I count to 4 and repeat. This is surprisingly difficult to do when you first start. This one is actually pretty fun and can make people laugh at themselves.

Hold your fret hand on your lap, then try to make a C chord. Pick each string from bottom to top. If one of the strings don't ring out, fix your hand and keep down picking until each string rings out. Keep doing this until you get it right on the first time five times. Got C? Lets work on G. I'm actually surprised at how many experienced musicians can't do this.

Yes, it is hard, yes it is work, but it's no different than programming. Nothing worth having is given to you.

The latest earthquake in Japan was an aftershock of the devastating 2011 tremor
We bought a 15" 2016 Macbook Pro ("Retina" is redundant; there are no 2016 MBPs that lack a Retina display.) We also bought a LG 27UD88-W monitor to go with it. (It's one of the few that has a USB-C input.)

I have to say, I'm really impressed by the single-cable solution. The monitor charges the laptop (57W maximum, which is less than the Apple charger, but "good enough"), and the laptop sends both video and USB peripheral connections to the monitor, which acts as a USB 3.0 hub.

One cable. It's kind of amazing and magical if you think about it.

There are some rough edges, though:

(1) Sometimes the computer reports that it's not charging. Sometimes it does. We don't know why just yet. We can always connect the Apple-supplied charger though.

(2) When the display goes to sleep, it disconnects all the devices on the hub. This is a problem for external disks, as the OS complains that it has been detached without being ejected first. I hope LG fixes this in a future firmware version.

(3) We can't use the Apple-supplied USB charging cable to connect the laptop to the display. The connectors are the same, but.. it just doesn't work. As a technical person, I understand why; but it's going to be unnecessarily confusing to people if two cables that look alike don't act alike. This is going to raise technical support costs greatly until all USB-C cables are capable of all transports and functions and the old ones are phased out. Why Apple didn't ship a fully-capable cable in the box is puzzling to me.
How Conservative Sites Turn Celebrity Despair on Its Head
The first time I plugged in a hub with power and HDMI, I got a kernel panic and the MacBook's keyboard did not work after the first reboot. I was a bit scared.
It would just be a single cable plus an adapter. The monitor cable has DP on one end and mini-DP on the other end. Thunderbolt 3 uses the USB-C connector and is what the ports on the MacBook are. So it's: Display -> DP to mini-DP cable -> TB2 to TB3 -> MacBook. Or, one extra step than the old MacBook needed, if only it actually worked.

Ask HN: Let's talk about blockers
How often does your team get blocked? What are common reasons for this? Any tips for removing blockers?
All the other answers are correct, in so far as they go, but they kind of fail to explain the bigger picture imo. A match statement like rust has is part of a larger concept where types are an integral part of control flow.

C/C++ switch makes no assertion about what is or isn't valid in its branches. That is, you might be switching on a tag field of a union or something like that, and then in one (or more) of the switch branches you may act on that information. But there is no compiler constraint on the correctness of that decision.

Pattern matching insists that the code inside a particular branch matches the type expectations asserted in its case clause. If you're in the branch for enum-type Blah, you can only act on Blah and not on Blorp. The compiler will force this on you.

To put this in practical terms, one area I have found this incredibly valuable (in Swift, but it applies here too) is in state machines. If you represent your state machine as an enum/union with fields for the information any particular state needs, every iteration through the machine you can be sure you are acting on the correct information. The compiler won't let you do otherwise.

How would an Agile team be any different in that respect from any other kind of software team?

Also, that black box team is by definition not "Agile" because the engineers are not face-to-face with the users, nor communicating with the users daily during development.
I've been a mac user for 12 years, have my current retina macbook for 4 years, consider myself a pro user and want to buy a new "mobile computer". I'm no longer considering buying an apple macbook. OS X is great but with these prices I can no longer validate it's value anymore and looking into buying an xps.

I'm somewhat surprised by the whole touch bar thing, other manufacturers (e.g. Lenovo on the X1) tried it before and use acceptance was miserable.
I like the irony! Ehehe. I personally know the Eight team, and it's nice to see them launch a smart mattress.

I think that their smart cover works quite well. They spent a few months refining the experience and debugging the software, and I recently (re)tried it and the experience was flawless.

From my understanding, the smart mattress uses the same exact technology, so unlike other smart mattresses on the market today, this is a battle tested solution.

I don't want to sound too nice and condescending to them, given that I know them. I can only suggest to take a look at it, and read some user reviews. Whether you're going to buy it or not, I'm happy to see a connected device finally built with some good engineering principles in mind.

Good luck!
That would be entirely correct! It turns out that even though rich first-world countries used the gold standard for a long time, they suffered manic booms and devastating busts, over and over; countries recovered from the Great Depression precisely as early as they got off the Gold Standard and went to central bank money supply management, because it actually works better.

It's a common mode of pseudoscience to fervently adopt a discarded idea, and economics is no exception. Gold bugs and Federal Reserve conspiracists (and the acceptable face of this, Austrian Economics) is precisely this variety of bad idea.

Oh I understand that, I'm thinking a little more dystopian. Though in some other countries that might be the reality today.
Yep. As I got older and had a little bit of play-budget, I was able to buy a few guitars even though I only play occasionally. Even then, I didn't go for anything too pricey or "flagship" (although I might if I was gigging or recording).

Instead, I got a knockoff Les Paul style from a Korean company called Agile. It's not quite as nice as the high end Les Pauls but for under $400? Hell yeah and it sounds/plays better than the Epiphones of similar price.

Also got a Squier Jaguar off Craigslist for $150 because I always wanted a Jag...just not enough to shell out for the really nice ones.

Add in a cheap travel electric for campfire jam sessions, an absolutely crap bass that I only have because it was $10 at Goodwill (seriously the strings I bought for it cost more) and the cheap acoustic I bought for $50 as my first guitar in 1992 and I've got more than I really need for the occasional practice or just because I have a song stuck in my head and want to play along with the album for the hell of it.
Installation files by default are run. If you have a normal Python module sitting on PyPi, and install it it may run a setup.py which could potentially do anything that your currently active user is allowed to do.

Adding custom programming logic into the requirements' file isn't really an issue, when setup.py could already grab a C compiler and start binding in system libraries into its package.

I highly recommend at least learning the pentatonic scale. It's very easy, and it's the basis for most rock and roll lead guitar. If you're in the right key, you can noodle around on the pentatonic along to songs, and it will generally sound decent.

For learning chord progressions, learn all the basic major and minor chords, then experiment with putting them together. There's a lot of joy to be had in that simple exercise, and with practice, you'll start to get an intuitive sense about it. Once that starts to make sense, you can start looking into the more unusual variants on chords.

Also, lessons can be fun, especially early on, because a teacher can point you in a specific direction for practicing that will cause you to grow.

Wow. Seriously? Both the CIA and the NSA already have red-carpet access to Google. Besides which, Google has shown multiple times it is very very capable of doing the expedient thing the moment it senses its revenue is in jeopardy. They _will_ sell your data as soon as their revenues drop. They could easily avoid this by wording their service agreements / end user licenses as such, but ofcource like most web companies these days they don't rule out selling user data. Which one can naively attribute to "capitalism". But while companies are amoral by nature, I hope people can and do hold the people running those companies accountable to at-least a baseline level of morality.
Agreed completely
Yes, that was also my first thought. Keyframes animations were pretty much one of the earliest features of Flash. Used those nearly 15 years ago. However Flash was/is not limited to that, since it's also a completely programmable.

Since Adobe moved quite some effort away from Flash and towards HTML I'm pretty sure that they would now also support exporting keyframe animations from one of their standard tools into a native browser format.
Anecdata: I went shopping for a new 5-string bass last month, took my time and had fun playing everything I could find in town (Portland), and even though I'd budgeted a couple grand to treat myself, the one that felt best under my fingers turned out to be a $225 Squier. It was a weird experience having to talk myself into spending less, but man, it's a great instrument.
Thanks for the kind words Simone, when you put so much effort on something, this type of support is everything you need to keep going :)

This is very contrary to my experience. I suspect the vast majority of people who learn piano do so with the desire to play classical music, because frankly that's the main thing it's good for. Playing piano arrangements of pop songs is a cool party trick the first few times, but loses its lustre pretty quickly (they end up all sounding similar); for composition there are probably better options in the age of computer sequencers, and fundamentally most people aren't in a position to get much value out of doing original composition.
