I wouldn't be too sure about that.

The stories of fake science publish in "reputable" journals are too many to enumerate here, and probably do as much, or more, damage to our collective knowledge as fake-thing on the "news" this evening at six.

The unpalatable truth is that the check and balance of peer review has repeatedly been shown to be ineffectual, and has been subverted and circumvented.[1]

20% YoY increases is about right in boom times. My rent increased by about $300/month/year from 2011-2014, then has been roughly stable since then. It was stable from 2009-2011 though.

In 2009, most of the startups were really small Web 2.0 outfits with 2-6 employees. However, the big companies were laying off people, and very few companies were hiring. I was initially going to apply to E-Bay/PayPal (I had a contact there), but the day that I was going to apply they announced they were laying off 5000 people, and I was like "Welp, that's not happening." My roommate worked at EMC and went through 3 rounds of layoffs, with about 3/4 of her department laid off. Was very lucky to end up at Google, which according to the news media was in hiring freeze (like everyone else) at the time; I had an awkward conversation with my recruiter where I was like "Are you actually hiring right now, or am I wasting my time?" What tended to happen was that the big companies cherry-picked the startup founders/employees that they really wanted and laid off all their low performers, and everyone who didn't have a track record of producing stuff was basically fucked.

I wasn't around for the dot-com bust in 2001 or the 1991 recession, but my understanding is that they were far worse in Silicon Valley, because the dot-coms had hired a large number of underskilled workers who literally had nobody willing to hire them when their employers went bust. I suspect 2017 will be worse than 2009 but better than 2001 in tech; unicorns collectively employ many more people (particularly low-skilled people) than Web 2.0 startups, but the crash this time is a slow-motion slowdown and doesn't seem to be affecting all companies, and so there's time for stronger companies to pick up the pieces of weaker ones.
> Notice how with their consoles, if the disc/cartridge fits in the console, the console will always play it, even between generations.

Well, that's not quite true. Both the Wii and Wii U have a standard-sized disc slot; on the Wii you can insert small GameCube discs into that slot and they'll play, but on the Wii U they won't. On the portable side, 3DS cartridges do have a tab to prevent them from fitting into a DS, but that wasn't the case for the handful of games exclusive to the brief-lived DSi.

Recent Nintendo consoles have also had compatibility issues with standard storage devices. The Wii supported SD cards, but wasn't compatible with SDHC cards, which are almost all cards with a capacity of 4GB or higher. This was eventually rectified with a software update... but the update only applied to the system menu, not to games which could access SD cards themselves, including notably Super Smash Bros. Brawl. The Wii U, for its part, supports storing games on external hard drives, but doesn't provide as much power over USB as most hosts do, requiring the use of a USB Y cable and a separate USB power source even for drives that don't normally require external power.

Yes, he is who I was referring to when I mentioned "The only cable I've heard of that actually fried anything was one that was wired completely wrong putting power on the data pins or something like that."

edit: I will admit I am partially wrong though - checking a sample of his reviews reveals the case of Type A <> C cables, where as a bridge between the standards the cable is presenting as a charger - in those cases, yes it should not just be "dumb". I still maintain that well-behaved chargers should not supply more power than they are capable of, and well-behaved devices should (and many do) monitor their charging environment and back off when the voltage sags.

I've been using Anki for the past year while learning German and it has been (seemingly) very helpful. I doubt I would have acquired the vocabulary I have in the past year without it. I'm not sure if this is simply due the fact that it helps make studying a habit or that SRS is as beneficial as claimed.

I have found it useful enough that I'm extending its use to other subjects I'm interested in.

Has anybody used Anki and Supermemo have thoughts on the two? I've never used supermemo - would be very interested to hear if it is worth looking into vs Anki for any reason.

>No, sorry, the new MacBook pro sucks for hackers. It's great for prosumers who like gadgets and benefit from USB-C. Hackers do not benefit from a closed box with non-expandable performance.

You'd be surprised. Linus Torvalds, a hacker one would presume, used to have a MacBook Air as his primary laptop, and praise it as the best laptop ever made, saying that other companies have failed to produced something as good (though after 2014 he moved to a Chromebook). And the reasons he gave for praising it for are exactly what people think Apple has too much emphasis on: thinness, lightness and battery life.

Of course that's a single data point (through for more data points you can go to any software conference, where Apple laptops usually dominate both the speakers and audience, even though they are less expandable and have less performance than some gaming/desktop-replacement laptops).

An Apple laptop can fit well with some hackers, for at least two reasons, I think:

First, tinkerer != hacker. A hacker can be a tinkerer, but it's not the same thing. There are people who love to hack on specific things, create new stuff etc, but could not care less about dealing with the hardware or customizing their window manager. A lot of hackers I know in fact tend to be quite minimalistic in those areas.

Second, a hacker isn't necessarily all about raw performance and 8GB graphics cards. A lot of hacker types and great programmers in C or whatever can do wonders with very little hardware.

Now, other kind of professionals, like 3D artists, number crunchers and such, might definitely want more GPU/RAM. But even for a lot of creative professionals, stable and "what we know" trumps "latest and greatest". Most professional music studios I know, for example, have 2 and 3 generation old setups, and never jump to the latest OS until 1-2 year after its out.

In the photography world, were I dabble (and once did professionally), we have this notion of "measurbators" and "pixel peepers". They are those that are obsessed with ISO performance, megapixel count, sharpness, synthetic tests of camera gear and so on, but seldom create any output of any particular worth. I guess the same would be for PC people obsessed with benchmarks beyond a particular point, especially if their workflows don't need them. A hacker, in this regard, would be the opposite. This guy, is a hacker, photography wise:

In principle, that's definitely an issue. In practice, we don't have that problem at all (certainly not since Facebook fired their "trending" editorial department). Maybe we should try to optimize for solving the problem we have (fake news) and worry about the barriers to entry / rule-imposition by gatekeepers when they actually arise?
Isn't there also a spec for passive power supply over USB, used by chargers. Something about combinations of resistances across the pins to signal current requirements.
I don't think the problem is that "citizen news" are not fact checked, because generally, citizens don't create fake news, and when something is worth reporting, there are multiple distinct reports.

Fake news are created by news spammers and propaganda organizations. These guys do it on purpose, for cynical reasons. They won't stop, so we need to filter them out.

What is needed is a blacklist and a way to collaborate in fact-checking. I often seek Wikipedia for news for this reason - it tends to be more fact checked and complete.

After a news piece has been tested and found fake, then we need to apply machine learning to quickly identify all clones of that news floating around (this is easier that the original problem of detecting if they are fake).

So basically the internet needs an immune system.

I'd suggest:

Cross platform traditional apps when you have at least one poor soul who is willing to work with the Android NDK/JNI: shared C++ business logic + minimal platform-specific language for UI.

My view is that unless your app is trivial (say, less than 10K lines of code), it's never worthwhile to re-write the entire app for each platform. Share as much logic as you can with the "common" tongue, C++.
No, no it's not. I live in Launceston, Tasmania - population approx. 100,000 people.

Yeah nah. I don't really follow this. Unless you consider terrible traffic and less than idea air quality luxuries. Having said that, I did live in Adelaide for 13 years.

Okay, I'm being too critical, too inflammatory. Big cities bring people together in a pretty special way that enables all sorts of culture to arise that doesn't happen here, in these big country towns, or struggles to exist on the fringes as a caricature of it's big-city counterpart. And I definitely miss that.

Choices, I guess. I can't afford to buy a house in any suburb I'd like to live in in the big cities in Australia. And I'm getting too old to rent or sharehouse. It's good here, 800 rock climbing routes within an hours drive of my house; kayaking and surfing; high-speed internet and Hacker News; a dog; business opportunities we're putting in to action.

Here on hacker news we don't look kindly on those who share direct experience. We prefer wild speculative theorizing.
I see your point - at the same time I don't quite agree.

The 'threshold' for web apps is closing in on regular apps.

80% of interactivity is pretty basic stuff. Very few apps leverage advanced features such as 3d touch.

I do agree that many apps might need that 'one thing' in order to be great ...

But most don't.

Yelp, Facebook, Twitter ... none of them really need 3d touch ... though maybe that feature will take root.
I think ~0.442ms is very slow for a social media web or app, considering that it's only 1 query, maybe that example isn't the best for that kind of queries
Very few applications actually add the TLS layer themselves. Most apps webapps are behind a forwarder that does the security part.

I believe the only places where you'd use C is web servers themselves.
> * The bootcamp experience just sucks (this was my primary reason for returning it). Currently, there's no way to gracefully switch between discreet and integrated gpu, so the battery life is terrible, like two-and-a-half-hour maximum battery life terrible. gpu-switch doesn't work either. In fact, if you use gpu-switch you'll have to rebuild both macOS and Windows as the machine will just hang when you try to boot into either.

Also a problem on previous models. I was working on my own GPU switching solution but gave up due to lack of time and the fact most of my applications work just fine under OS X.

I'd be interested doing the same with Debian or similar Linux though.

> Actually it is extremely easy. It is easy to tell if an article has an angle or as not

When I'm talking about bias it's something which would not be provable based on one article. I'm talking about something which would span multiple years and many articles. That kind of bias is very difficult to prove.

> Now calling something "fake news" is biased too.

Do not conflate non-mainstream news sources with news which has been completely fabricated. These are two completely different things. Furthermore I would argue that the mainstream news media holds itself to certain journalistic standards that a random internet blog may not.

> NYT, Wapo and co ... it is extremely dishonest, since these media are propaganda organs.

Using the term "propaganda organs" makes me think you believe them to be biased sources? What exactly makes their news articles badly written?

> The easiest way to tell facts from opinion is to take multiple sources opposed politically

A good news article will already include multiple sources and try and have both points of view.

I think something which is increasingly becoming a problem is people getting their only news from online sources which they agree with or align with politically. This is different from how we consumed news media in the past since we couldn't control what was in the paper or on the TV (and is probably what has led to the increased polarization in politics).
Cool idea.

How did you resist the temptation to call it temptation?

Although I think temptable is almost the opposite of contemptible, therefore also good going in the pun department.

My code is all Ruby, and I ended up pushing all the work into SQL and just eventually selecting with find_by_sql into existing models for the results. There is possibly concurrent invocation vs updates and a race against itself, so it's also all wrapped with a serializable transaction and starts with a mutex lock on the controlling model.
SuperMemo has a lot more advanced features (e.g. incremental reading). But the tradeoffs are pretty significant, in my opinion. Anki's decisive features for me are its mobile apps, its simplicity, and its open source license.

I've been using Anki for 5 years now and have about 10,000 notes. I don't use it for foreign language learning. I would not feel comfortable investing that much effort into a closed-source platform effectively run by one person (Piotr). Also, thanks to Anki being open source, I've written a handful of simple plugins for myself.
The article goes on and on about fun new stuff that you can do (and I don't deny them).

But we can't do the same old things we NEED to do, like keep using all our existing cables and devices (including mice!). Really, if they wanted to merely transition to USB-C, they could have included 2 new ports, and 2 old ports. No need to eliminate the old USB ports in just one generation.

Regarding the "it's the same plug as your phone":

It's not! iPhones have lightning cable (ironically, their own phone!).

What were you using before? I just upgraded from a late 2008 MBP, and the difference is night and day. Computers only get noticeable better roughly every six years these days, so if you were using last year's model then of course it's going to seem like a ton of money for no real benefit.

From my perspective this thing is at least 2x as fast in real world use, substantially lighter, way better screen and speakers. And the keyboard is awesome and the build quality is outrageously good.

I get that people are upset they can't edit 5K or whatever, but you can get a desktop computer for that for less than half the price. Obviously they will be even better in three years once intel has chips that are appropriate for the MBP that also support LPDDR4, but for now this seems like clearly the best computer on the market and very clearly aligned with where the industry is going in the future.

Well you can at least argue that traditional news media does hold itself to certain journalistic standards (I'm talking news articles, not opinion pieces).

I think an issue we have with getting news from places like FB is that (I think) it will often show news or stories which you probably align with politically or reinforce your views (leading to increased polarization). Compare that to how we used to get our news from papers or the TV were we couldn't control the programming.
