My commute is 12-15 minutes by car and 55 minutes to an hour and a half by bus (assuming the buses were actually on time, which is unrealistic here). Plus either time to make and pack a lunch, or the time to walk to a fast food restaurant near work for lunch. Plus a similar commute time back. It's somewhat faster (but more dangerous) to ride a bicycle. If my goal is a fast, safe commute, I don't have a realistic option besides a car.

It's not insurmountable (I'm sure that a better public transportation system could be implemented for more money), but almost everyone will make the same choice that I have until a more practical alternative comes along....but they won't want to pay for that alternative because they aren't using it.
Cheap way to implement capability like this in my hubspot forms?

Thank you for your comments. However, Migadu is not intended to be "cheap". That is not the selling point of it.

We used to use Google Apps for multiple domains for our starup projects, ideas etc. Switching between these multiple accounts was becoming ridiculous and complex. Then, they made it $5 per account. We actually had many addresses but only two users. Our total cost of that would be measured in hundreds of $ which def would not be worth it.

What I personally dislike regarding other services is that they claim storage as one of the most important selling points but then do not account for the price drop per GB. Since GMail for work launched (2006?), the cost per GB dropped more than sixty fold: http://www.mkomo.com/cost-per-gigabyte-update

Any update in price? Nope.
And then, the price of Google Apps (Gmail) are global. We have clients in Zimbabwe for instance. $5 per month per account is not the same as it would be in the US. Yet if a company from Zimbabwe uses a @gmail address, it won't be taken serious.

Migadu is profitable since a while ago, and real money is relative. We're not after exits and TechCrunch, just doing what we like and hacking at it daily. :) Pays the bills. Ironically, we are also in Switzerland, where living expenses are among the highest in the world.

Thanks for the assertions though! :)
Well, if the Earth really gets that bad (e.g. the entire surface is all water, no land; or extremely destructive weather events; or too dark because sunlight can't reach our surface), it might actually be easier to set up self-contained (bubble) cities on another planet than on earth itself.

But if you're talking about terraforming, then if we could terraform another planet we could probably re-terraform earth itself.
tutorials never worked for me, far too boring

was much easier to just find existing codebases and tinker with some functionality of them to learn, while asking those more experienced to clarify anything i couldn't figure out with a bit of trial and error/looking up usage of similar code elsewhere within the codebase

personally, i learned c++/lua (though im not by any means 'advanced' in them) from an mmo server emulator since it was easy to see how gameplay was affected and compare expected vs intended results

also im barely awake rn so this comment probably makes zero sense
"Is it just us, or have coffee shops been getting less comfortable lately? You go in, buy a coffee, sit down with your laptop and TRY to get some work done, only to find there are no electrical outlets, there’s no Wi-Fi, the music is too loud, and oh…there are no bathrooms either."

Huh. Must be a New York thing. Haven't had that problem in the DFW area. Ever.
> I'm encrypting my disk now, but I'll give the password to police if they have a search warrant. I'm encrypting so if somebody steals my computer they won't read my data. I think that almost everybody is like me.

I may be taking the word "everyone" too literally, but I think that part of the problem is that most people don't think like you and don't really understand the benefits of encryption and why it's a practical tool for absolutely everyone, not just terrorists, pedophiles, and drug dealers. There's a very big educational gap when it comes to encryption, and I don't think that most people can even cover the basics of it very well, which makes it extremely difficult at times to tell if law enforcement and politicians even understand the implications of what they propose beyond the immediate benefit to their operations.

However, I do think that your position is probably the best that can help people to begin to understand why encryption is important; there still is a disconnect where most people don't understand that encryption is an all or nothing ordeal, or if they do, they accept the rationalization that the weakening of encryption is important for the security of the nation, whichever nation that may be.

But in general, encryption is a problem because it operates in a blackbox for the majority of people, and it's incredibly easy for talking heads to say just about whatever they want on it without being challenged. It feels to me like strong encryption is one of those lessons that people are going to have to learn the hard way, much like how a lot of people learn about backing up data only after having a hard-drive go with important data on it. Though it would likely be difficult to prove, I think it's going to require that a government exploit or something intentionally weakened by a governmental actor be utilized by criminals to harm the public at large before people really get the idea on what government-approved encryption really means.
As a normal citizen who doesn't even work in that sector, I'd be against it as well.
I'm not sure that's true. Do you have data to back that up?

I love Linux as much as the best person but we really gotta get on that power thing.

Could someone well-versed in "political sociology" provide one or two primary sources for the concept of "Overton window"? None of the links from its Wikipedia page end up in anything like a published study.

Just to be clear-- I'm talking about a paper that a) makes a hypothesis about public policy, b) presents relevant data, and c) makes a conclusion based on the results of that data.

10. Run the engineering side of a company that I cofounded. I work on fun problems, help real people run their businesses (which ended up being more important to me than I expected), and keep track of the so-called work/life balance. I still get to write code, too.

How much does immutability/persistence cost in terms of performance and memory? Are there benchmarks against std::vector? E.g, are we talking about 10x or 100x slow down?
Ottawa is another example - it was selected because it had a defensible position, since invasion from Americans was a real threat to young Canada.

While it's a lovely city, it sticks out as being far removed from the major traffic corridor of central/eastern Canada. While Canada is generally sparse, there's a high density corridor running from Niagara Falls around Lake Ontario to Quebec City, and Ottawa is accessible from it but it's a substantial detour.
Thank you for this! Simple and small. I use bitbar and like it very much, but this is a nice add on. I'm all in. Keep developing.
Junior software developer & cs student here. I love programming so much that my part-time job sometimes gets ahead of school. With a big rails codebase, there are so much to learn for a junior and that's exciting.

Historically, ice was actually towed (stowed and sailed) from the Northeastern US to e.g. India, and other hot climates.

It was a huge industry in the northeast in the 17th(? I think) century. Got this info from an awesome documentary called the Science of Cold.
Prefetching is possible using standard web technologies and that improves the security footing since it follows the normal browser origin policies.

The actual reason for AMP is that it gives Google control: the good side of that is that companies have an outside check on performance — think about how many companies exist where internal politics means that “this will hurt SEO” will be listened to but “this page is too heavy” coming from inside will be ignored — and the bad side is that anyone who adopts it is binding their technical capabilities closely to Google's decisions.
But that phrase is good English, though it might be contrived somewhat

It will be hard to get more mainstream than it is now. Breville, for instance, now owns PolyScience. What I mostly see in new products is gimmickry --- elaborate wifi controls, machine learning to identify what kind of food you're cooking, attempts to temperature-control pans instead of water baths. You can (and should) just buy an Anova, Poly, or Sansaire unit for about $100.

Major kitchen equipment manufacturers are all going to have low-temp cooking appliances within the next few years.

This article, meanwhile, is pretty annoying. For instance: the "until recently" shot of older lab-style circulators is entirely bogus: for more than 5 years, even the PolyScience units --- even the restaurant-grade pro ones --- have been approximately as slick as the Sansaires and Anovas. Nomiku was an early entrant to the market, but they've pretty much been lapped.

The "next" thing to watch for is probably home-compatible combi ovens (combi ovens cook in temperature controlled steam baths instead of water baths). There are already some products here, but I don't know how good they are yet.
that is exactly incorrect actually. a literal betting market has historically been the best predictor of outcomes. this cycle was particularly surprising, so everyone is all up in arms. but the markets that i follow (predictit.com) were more bullish on trump than almost all poll models. if you look at past performance they are excellent.
> Perhaps it's the limited number of media outlets in Europe, or just the nature of our media, but there's a high level of healthy dissent below-the-line that I don't see on The NYT, WP etc.

Don't know about WP, but NYT has a "Readers' Picks" tab in its comments section, which was consistently very critical of NYT throughout the election cycle, especially their one-sided coverage of Clinton and Sanders campaigns. At times, it was quite surreal -- the tone and substance of most upvoted comments were in stark difference with the actual article.
I got a Developer Edition XPS 13 9360 two weeks ago. My compatibility experience:

- DisplayPort over USB-C alternate mode did not work at all in Ubuntu 16.04 (unplugging the USB-C cable froze the computer). So I upgraded to 16.10, and DisplayPort over USB-C now works, probably because 16.10 has a newer Linux kernel with better support for USB-C. I do encounter this bug (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1634449) where the external monitor will sometimes flash black when the mouse moves between monitors.

- The headphones are very noisy. When playing audio the hiss can be eliminated by running "alsamixer" and increasing the "Headphone Mic Boost" to 10 db gain. Depending on the monitor, there is 0 to very very little hiss when routing the audio through DisplayPort or HDMI and using my monitor's headphone jack. Annoyingly, when first playing audio, it takes about 2 seconds for the audio to start playing though the headphone jack on my DisplayPort monitor.

- Sometimes the touchscreen does not register touches after waking from suspend. A workaround is to close and open the lid.

- Occasionally (this has not happened in a few days), the wifi will disappear. Running "sudo systemctl restart network-manager.service" gets it working again. Also, iwconfig always reports "Bit Rate=1 Mb/s" even though the actual speed is much faster than that.

- Dell disables the super key out of the box. You have to uninstall the "dell-super-key" package, and add the super key keyboard shortcut with ccsm. (see http://askubuntu.com/questions/751661/dell-developer-edition...). Dell says that disabling the super key is not their choice (http://en.community.dell.com/techcenter/os-applications/f/46...)

Otherwise, everything seems to be working well. I have not tested it, but as far as I know Thunderbolt 3 does not work with Linux yet, so Thunderbolt 3 docks probably won't work.
I'm not sure about hardware and design teams, but I'm noticing that the entire software org is going downhill at Apple fast.

Budget cuts, delaying releases for arbitrary reasons, more and more technical debt on key portions of iOS seem to be the norm rather than the exception. Each subsequent release of iOS is more bloated than ever, and teams are reluctant to port their stuff over to Swift because of the aforementioned technical debt.

Fundamentally, the problem is that the software org at Apple is a third class citizen. In order for that to change, there needs to be a shift in resources toward the SW org. But I don't see it happening any time soon :)
Or "This 500gb file is just a garbage file of random numbers I keep because I heard harddrives last longer if they aren't empty".

In any reasonable legislation there shouldn't be a difference between not providing a password and not admitting you have anything encrypted at all (because no one can prove the difference anyway).

An important thing that is often forgotten is that most many aren't challenged for encrypted contents in criminal cases but civil lawsuits where the burden of proof is (also) on the defendant because there is no "beyond reasonable doubt" . In that situation, the mere existence of e.g. a file transfer log with the movie file name + an encrypted disk is enough to end up with massive damages. In that situation you would be very interested to show your unencrypted data if you don't have the file in question.
They should have included at least two USB Type-C ports (or all of them as far as I'm concerned), also use them for charging. I have 2015 Chomebook Pixel for 1.5 years now and going back to a dedicated proprietary charger/charging port now seems so backwards. I am by all means no fan of Apple, but they sure had the right idea with going all USB Type-C. This laptop is not future-proof in my opinion.
Then I think you've answered your own question.
I'm currently using the skylake nuc, all maxed out. That's dual Samsung 950 pro in raid0 and 32gb ram. Plus when I get home I hook it up to a razor core with gtx1080 inside. The only problems that I see are raid drivers for rapid storage controller and the fact that it can't draw power through the Core's thunderbolt connection. Windows 10 is currently the host os with ubuntu running in virtualbox.
I've been testing fastmail recently via their free trial (for my eventual migration away from google apps/domain)...so seeing some up and coming competition is always healthy; gives us more choices in the future. I wish these guys plenty of luck, as we need more options just like these guys! Cheers!
7. I do love what I do, but I think a few things would push me over into ideal territory:

- A high pay

- Working with open source

- Option to work less: either 4 day weeks or <8 hour days

The only downside to always working with my brain is that I get less enjoyment out of puzzle games and critical thinking in my free time. I'd rather have it this way than the other way around, though.
Well for one I do use the Caffeine feature that is shown in the section of the Getting Started guide I linked to. That replaced the actual Caffeine app. I have a timer running reminding me to take breaks every so often, that replaced Time Out. I have it auto-detect when I plug into my keyboard at home, and when I do it turns on my bluetooth to pair with my mouse, when I unplug, it turns off the bluetooth. This prevents the annoying issue of my mouse constantly connecting/disconnecting when I'm using my computer in a different room. I have it watching wifi events and automatically setting my volume to 0 when I leave my home wifi network, to prevent any accidental sound blares when I open my laptop in a meeting. Finally I have it bound to some custom hot keys to move/resize my windows around my external monitors. That function replaces the zillion window management apps out there.
Isn't this (form-over-function) a similar but not exactly identical phase that Microsoft went through, that resulted in the now publicized "Raymond Chen camp vs. MSDN camp" mantra?

The Register reported a man getting 13 months (http://www.theregister.co.uk/2009/11/24/ripa_jfl?page=1) - though I couldn't find a better reference.

BBC also reported on a teenager getting 16 weeks (http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-11479831).

In both cases it seems they were jailed purely for failure to disclose passwords and not in conjunction with any other offence.
I'm not sure that someone spending over $1000 for a Developer Edition laptop falls into the "most people" category.

It seems strange to argue that someone buying a workstation device should be okay with half the battery as a Windows user because it's Good Enough.
There's certainly some aspects of bullshittyness to it all, but I find it exciting. It's cool to see new ways of doing things coming into the industry and people trying to improve. I think when you start thinking that it's all or mostly all negative and "hype", then it's time to maybe look for a new role (I mean this in a very positive way - not trying to be rude here!). If you're 30+, have a ton of engineering experience and are starting to feel bored - look for maybe how you can leverage your years of skills and experience in a new role that you can really get excited about. Life works in chapters, being at the end of one (in terms of motivation/passion) isn't a bad thing. It just means you're ready for the next one.
4 - Semi-senior. I love programming, but sadly at my work is hard to do a good job. Management is always requiring fast solutions, doing meetings frequently and expecting to use JIRA as if it was the solution for every problem.

Keeping that aside, I am working with node, React and Redux because my boss loves those new things. It is really annoying to use technologies that don't last a few months and break in every minor update.
So thinking is blocking the gravity from working right?

A few more details:

Regarding battery: They mention they could tweak the power consumption from 4,7W to 4W by setting

i915.enable_psr=1

but that this setting lead to temporary freezes of the picture on the screen for several seconds, so they don't recommend it.

Regarding the headphones they mention that it is worse when running on battery and when using the trackpad (they say it's a mosquito-like noise). They also say that there already is a fix for the audio driver but that it does not work.

As for WiFi: it's OK for for receiving (they measured 300MBit/s) but with sending they only got 29MBit/s.

In conclusion, they also say that except for the HDMI issues with the docking station, all those problems are driver issues which will eventually be fixed, but at the moment it is what it is.

I come from Germany. The situation is complicated. The responsible politicians tend to make statements that are contradicting or don't make any sense. There have been multiple statements that at least could be interpreted as supportive of encryption regulation. In one occasion there was a joint statement by the french and german ministers of interior - with the slight problem that the french and german versions of the statement were different.

Recently they created a new institution supposed to help decrypting messages. They never explained what that actually means. (I mean you simply can't decrypt properly designed crypto systems.)

Germany isn't the privacy paradise that some people in the international debates sometimes like to see in it.
