The biggest complain for new MBP, is memory. And those who complain the loudest..... are ... programmers.

Not Graphics Designer, Video Editors. Programmers. Specifically Programmers who uses lots ( or more then a few ) VMs.

May be as programmer, you should really care about what your programs resources usage are. The problem is i am seeing lots of bloat in Apps.

And i still dont understand why you need 4 VM in a programmer's workflow. It seems something that is deeply flawed.

What a lot of these people are complaining then, is simply price. But APPLE HAS NEVER, in the life time of the company, offered cheap or value ( Tech Spec ) for money machines. Their product with new design, whether you like it or not, has always been EXTRA expensive on the first cycle.
Linux got where it is by evolving how the kernel and drivers interact whenever needed, without waiting to coordinate with outsiders and their closed work.
Sure, but a lot of these things are things I was doing anyway when I was working for MIT and earning a five figure salary. When I moved out to a startup (VA Linux Systems), I more than doubled my salary; and when I went to Google I took a significant step up in compensation over my previous job at IBM --- and yes, I'm still doing the things that I love to do.

So it's not a matter of doing things because it's needed to be successful (although they won't hurt when I'm next up for Promo, I'm sure), it's the fact that I get to help influence the industry. As far as profit participation is concerned, I'm paid plenty enough to be comfortable, and I'm used to the concept of the financial upside coming indirectly from what my open source activities (e.g., ext4 maintainer, being on the program committee of ATC and FAST conferences, etc.) do for my personal brand. Yes, I'm not going to have the money of say, a Peter Thiel or a Larry Ellison. I also don't have to worry about having all of that money turning me into an *sshole, either. :-)

Am I aware that I'm trading off potentially being able to earn even more income in exchange for more security and the freedom to choose what I do (and the fact that I can find choices that help out the open source projects that I care about _and_ which result in benefits to my company is something I consider a feature, and part of the value I can bring to my employer)? Of course. Sure, I could probably earn more by working for a high frequency trading firm. But I'd lose a lot of freedom. More importantly, what working on moving the poles of the US financial system to the right-half plane would do to my soul isn't worth the extra money it might bring in.
Uber for cooks.

People cook food in their homes. You select the food from several cooks in your area in an app, drive to their house and pick the food.

I imagine a housewife/househusband that is already cooking for her/his family to prepare more portions. Snap a photo, a description, and price. It can be extra income for something that she/him is already doing.

People would use the product because it is convenient, saves times and they get more food variety.
But self-driving cars ultimately means that fewer vehicles will be sold, thereby working against the interests of auto manufacturing/sales.

Of course, Michigan's share of auto manufacturing is constantly spiraling downward.
Marketing <> Sales

It's kinda like a designer and developer. People who only see IT work from a distance may feel they are 'people who make websites' but there is a entirely different skillset and method difference, but there can be some crossover and they combine well together.

A while back I was treated with cisplatin as part of chemotherapy. One of the side effects is ototoxicity. I acquired tinnitus that ranges from unnoticeable to distracting but not severe (I've noticed that green tea is a very reliable trigger for the rest of the day). I self-tested my hearing after chemo and found that I'd lost 15KHz and higher. I knew about the side effects before starting treatment, so I'd already run the same test. Pre-treatment, I could easily hear up to 17.5KHz.

I've adjusted to the hearing changes for the most part, but the most insidious new problem is acute sensitivity to nearby conversations when I'm talking to someone else. The best way to describe it is that I've lost the dynamic range of amplitudes. Rather than being able to focus on one conversation and hear it as louder than the rest, I feel that all of them seem to be at the same volume. The worst is when I'm out walking with another person to have a conversation, and we come upon another walking/talking pair. I need to let the other people go ahead until they're out of earshot.

No complaints overall. I'd have died without the chemo, so it was a favorable trade.

Secret CIA assessment says Russia was trying to help Trump win White House
> It would seem categorically incorrect to claim that faith is evidence based

Everyone lives by faith. How can you be sure --- I mean really sure --- that the chair will not collapse beneath you, this time? I guess you don't know, 100%. But nevertheless, you sit in it.

Faith != Blind Faith. Blind faith is a particular kind of faith, which has no reason for its being --- in fact has reason against its being. Faith, by itself, is just to go on believing something that you have been given enough evidence for, in spite of irrational fear or self-centered temptation to disavow. There is a reason that sexual loyalty is also called "faithfulness."

The Bible is evidence-based because: in the Old Testament God said, believe that I am the one true God because of this or that miracle that I just did; in the New Testament, it keeps talking about testifying, "I bear witness," "believe on the testimony of these witnesses," citing them by name.

Here someone will say, but how do we know any of that really happened, just because it's written in a book? That's where manuscript evidence comes into play, whether the people who say they wrote this or that really wrote this or that, and that's where I point you to a book like Josh McDowell's, which will talk about how the Bible has tons more manuscript evidence than any other book on the face of the earth. We know that John wrote John far more than that we know that Homer wrote The Odyssey. There are other books too, like The Case for Faith. I just generally pick Josh McDowell because it is the shortest, and I know your time is valuable, and your patience for contradictory opinions is limited.

Here again someone will say, but just because I know John really wrote the book of John doesn't mean that John wasn't lying. That's where McDowell --- and the other books --- will talk about logic and human nature. Most of the disciples were martyred, terribly. Who would die for something they knew to be a lie?

> to call Josh McDowell an expositor of Orthodox Christianity is a bit offensive

lowercase o orthodox: "conforming to what is generally or traditionally accepted"

Besides, what in More Than a Carpenter would a Greek Orthodox believer disagree with?
You only have to fix your driver if it's outside the kernel tree. Drivers in the tree get fixed by whoever's making the breaking change (which is why it's important that certain hackers be able to read and understand all related drivers).

One of the ways to help that feeling is to get people more involved in local government. Local government has a lot more of an impact on them and they have much more power in such matters.
AMD doesn't have "gross profit in the $1 - 2 billion range". They have about $1B in revenue per quarter and have had negative profits (i.e. they lose money) for quite some time now. They were on the verge of bankrupcy about a year ago. Maybe Zen can turn their fortunes around, but they're correct in that they don't have the resources for a dedicated development team right now.
When reducing SVGs for data urls, I've found you can reduce size even further by scaling the image up, then rounding coordinates to integers. I've written a few scripts to assist with this, but I imagine you could get a similar effect in Inkscape by snapping everything to an integer grid.

Also, merging path elements together helps.

For example, here's the logo in 1952 bytes: http://pastebin.com/YYBpWsDE

And I'm sure there's further room for manual reduction, maybe by switching between strokes/fills and further cleaning up the paths.

(It would be cool if someone were to work on an automated system for doing this kind of simplification. But I have a feeling that it's difficult find a general technique that will work across SVG hierarchies, like scaled/rotated groups, etc.)
The discussion from a few years ago:

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8351981
Yeah, I don't care about nvidia drivers, either. AMD doesn't need this in the kernel anymore than nvidia does (and they don't). Kernel modules work just fine for drivers. I don't want some convoluted shit crammed into mainline because <company> chooses to ignore feedback about their code. I am perfectly fine with this one guy shooting down AMD's pretentious attitude here. If it weren't for those kernel devs, good luck getting a Linux system to "boot and function as a normal user's desktop" because of all the crap that would be in there. Like systemd, just piles of crap in a confused, kitchen-sink orgy.
I've always thought it would be good to setup a LinkedIn type platform that let's the user 1) put a white list of contacts or 2) A price to contact. If your not on the whitelist any contact gets a response of "please pay X" for emails to get through. People can place their own value on their time and advertisers can decide if this is worth it.

Also you could add a call feature where if a recruiter/sales person wants to schedule a call they can (via forwarded number to keep anonymity) at the agreed rate.
One thing that this and many other analyses seem to fail to distinguish when comparing MBPs is that the 13" and 15" models are two very distinct lines.

The 13" are basically an ultraportable, with 15W "U" processors and the 15" are thin and light workstation class machines - they have Intel's beefiest 45W "HQ" processors (and the option of an overpriced mid-tier mobile GPU).

Almost all of this article's recommendations are for a MBP 13 replacement, which IMO is less compelling - you can get some things that are cheaper (and w/o a soldered in SSD), but nothing that's outright better, especially when things like fit and finish and battery life are taken into account. I think the best alternative now is the new HP Spectre x360 - it has a FHD screen with comparable color gamut, comparable battery life, and you can get twice the RAM/storage as the MBP 13 while still paying 1/3 less.

If battery life (and a high-end CPU) is important to you, then your best option for a 2016 MBP 15 alternative... is probably the 2015 MBP 15. Battery life is the real razor here. The 2016 MBP 15 does 10h on wifi, 8.6h w/ h.264 playback, but a measly 0.9h under full load. The 2015 MBP 15 will get you 7.5h on wifi, 6.8h w/ h.264, but 1.75h under full load. The i7-4770HQ/i7-4870HQ/i7-4980HQs, while older, actually performs about the same/better to the new Skylake processors. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Of all the PCs out there, I'd say the XPS 15 9550 might be the closest competition - it has a great 100% sRGB / 89% Adobe RGB UHD screen option and is half the price of a similarly speced 2016 MBP 15 (although you'd probably be able to find a 2015 for around the same price) but half the battery life (just over 5 hours) when on wifi, and even close to a year in, still has some buggy firmware (screen flicker at lower levels, waking up from sleep under vibration) that sadly seems typical for PC vendors. [1]

IMO, the most compelling reason to get a PC laptop is if you need a beefier GPU, but you'll need to be aware that you'll be making some trade-offs (and making a time investment for swapping OS's).

(Screen gamut and battery numbers are all from Notebookcheck, who seem to do the best laptop reviews around.)

Well in my experience the fence and lawn are so often based on different information that it's useless. Thus the common case is to turn off SELinux.

If you need the same info updated in two places you are doing it wrong. It could be moved up a level with a configuration management system. That way you could say Daemon X log in directory Y, and both places would get updated.
> Regardless of whether you are legally right, a larger company could sue you for the sake of suing, and make your life very miserable

A company with resources could sue you for a number of bogus reasons if they wanted to be dicks.
The lack of money printing wouldn't prevent groups of people from coalescing into big blobs and gaining a competitive advantage. In fact, I'd assert it makes it even worse.

Imagine a sufficiently large alliance in your idealized game that by hook and crook "surrounds" your central bank. All new money in the economy passes through them. Sure you can finely control inflation, but without helicopter money you have no knobs you can twist to control wealth inequality in such a situation. Even if you do use helicopter money tactics, you'll be in a constant arms race with the big alliances to try and distribute the money as far away from them as possible.

Long term players having big piles of cash really causes a lot of price dysfunction in my mmo experience. Eventually all the goods and materials that aren't required for end game play approaches a price of zero, where everything else gets more and more and more expensive as money loses value for the people who have it in abundance.

As for the arbitrage thing -- price in nullsec for capital goods was 10-20% higher than it was in empire. Having an operation that hauls replacement ships, mods etc out to nullsec, and nullsec resources back to empire was an easy way to make billions if you were set up to move enough volume. I could easily make more money moving goods in my carrier than using the carrier for combat.

Eve's combat system is a piece of design brilliance in and of itself. Battleships struggle under most circumstances to destroy frigates. Each ship size tier is loosely isolated from the other tiers by tracking constraints. Drones blur this a bit, but even though that guy spent 100m on that battleship and you spent 250k on your rifter -- he's probably not going to instapop you. Chances are he can't hit you. Your mobility makes you generally more of a threat to him than he is to you if you're tracking and tackling and people are backing you up!

In terms of other mmo's, FFXIV made some good decisions but suffers from inflationary currency problems because the lack of gil sinks. High level crafting uses tons of low level materials, so new crafters can still make a profit off turning iron into screws or whatever. They do it really broadly so there's a whole lot of goods and materials that still churn on their auction house for non 1,inf prices.

I haven't played WoW in a while, but low level ores and used to be pointless to the endgame players, so the prices on them zoomed towards zero.

I think eve is a pretty boring game, but I have never seen an mmo that did a synthetic economy better. If you manage it I'll be the first to carry your banner to future mmo economic discussions ;)

This article focuses on the cop/vet, but what I'm stuck on is that the 911 center didn't convey the complete report to the police - that the caller reported the subject's gun was not loaded and that his goal was to get shot. That seems like critical information to communicate to the police so they can respond appropriately.
I've used an MBP for the last two years (15" model) and had to replace it as it got damaged. The biggest issue I had with it was the keyboard. I didn't like it. I come from a 327X keyboard tradition :) I found the build quality, the weight, the display, the battery life to be quite awesome. It was also pretty quiet.

I looked at the new MBP and didn't like the price (even though the company pays) and didn't like the new touch bar, I use the function keys. I also didn't like the changes to the ports.

I'm typing this from my new Lenovo ThinkPad Yoga. So far I like it. It does have a cheaper feel but I find I type faster on this keyboard (though they seem to have copied some of Apples' bad design, IBM ThinkPads used to have nicer keyboards). The display is good. There's a built-in digitizer and stylus (which I haven't tried yet). Being able to flip the display around and stand it upside down is a big space saver where it comes to using external keyboards (which I'll probably do most of the time). It's lighter than the MBP (14" vs. 15" though). Being able to flip the display around to make a thick tablet seems like a nice feature, we'll see how much I end using it. It's a little noisier than the MBP. Battery life seems good so far. I have my HDMI port, DisplayPort, and 3 USB ports.

If the MBP was slightly cheaper, lost the touchbar, kept the HDMI port I'd probably go for it. If it could do this Yoga flip/stand that'd be a nice bonus. Page-up/down would be nice too ;)
I think it you want to make browsing data completely anonymous you're going to have to download a snapshot of the internet and unplug your connection. Unfortunately, that's really not the user experience most people want.
Sure, but what you are paying 1/2 for? Imagine owning a home which sells for $1,000,000. Currently you pay roughly 6% - $60,000. You pick Redfin - they charge take the money and give you back 1/2 but you are still paying them $30,000!!

But if your house is sold for $100,000 you'd pay $6,000 or $3,000 to Redfin. The whole thing is just the biggest currently running scam that I can think of and someone will come along and totally disrupt this entire industry of scammers :-)

I released MyPost (https://mypost.io) which allows anyone to create beautiful simple web pages in minutes with just a few clicks. Completely free with no registration required.

I didn't put "SHOW HN" in the title as I was fairly new to Hacker News. It also didn't do much to gain many comments on Hacker News, but as far as gaining attraction from around the world.. it managed to gain a huge amount of attention in Russia and other parts of the world. It probably has so far received over 100,000 visitors in about a year with no advertising on my part. I would love to monetize it eventually, but for now, it was definitely a nice project that helped me learn a lot about PHP and MySQL.

#2 sounds better, but I fell in to trap #1 as a kid, and there wasn't much of a #2 option available. Do their homework for them? Correct the teacher when they make a mistake?

As for other people around you being able to help/assist you, again, as a kid, I didn't have any peers capable of that. I do find peers now who can help me in many ways, and are far better at things that I'm not. It's (generally) not threatening, and I welcome it in most cases, but it's taken years to get out of the #1 trap ingrained as a kid. One of my earliest memories(~6 years old) was thinking that the other kids around me must be dumb because they couldn't do the schoolwork. Yes, I know it wasn't healthy, but I had no other real options explained to me.
Correction: we have the resources. We just don't want to allocate them and would prefer that you did the work instead.
By the look of it, he's trying to be reasonable now; after half a year of hope that the code will just get checked in because it's coming from AMD, regardless of quality.

If I recall correctly, Google tried the same thing some time ago and it didn't go well for them either.
I work for a small high end cosmetics business in the European Union. That particular industry has a lot of compliance and documentation rules imposed on it by Brussels. My predecessor in the line sadly pushed using Apple's Filemaker for that. It's not even that bad in the latest version and certainly offers some advantages over similar solutions but the guy was horribly in over his head. I'm talking fifty fields in a table having near identical names, undocumented... everything, no clear UI design paradigms, needlessly complicated UX and storing PDF as binary data in tables by the thousands.

But I feel like I'm stuck with repairing his shit because there's not a nice and clean solution anywhere in sight. I thought of Wiki systems but the actual data entry will be done by people who would be completely put off by any kind of syntax/markup whatsoever. I'm neither good enough a Web developer to roll something similar myself nor can I dream of creating something like an entire documentation system.

I think the problem might apply to other smaller businesses in the EU and especially Germany, too. Lots of docu to have ready in the unlikely but not impossible case of an inspection.

For the cosmetics industry it'd need to be able to track ingredients, lots of external evaluation docu, internal procedures and so on. While at the same time it would need to be usable by people who are far removed from tech literate.
Sorry I didn't see this earlier (your comment defeated my search queries). Flagging behavior appears to have returned to normal surprisingly quickly.
The use of gross profit here is severely misleading. AMD has famously been losing money for a long time - they made a loss of half a billion last year.
Are you in this industry? Where could I learn more about #2? Sounds like something up my alley...

Sixa secures $3.5M as it launches its cloud computer for developers
I've never been a fan of SELinux, in the context of what a "normal" GNU/Linux install looks like.

I've only just managed to put into words what my misgivings are after reading this article: it feels like anti-virus software. The trouble is, it's bolted-on security. It's trying to contain software which wasn't written to a strict boundary, to a strict boundary. So you start with a crappy boundary of existing insecure software. That doesn't really achieve much - it prevents expansion of each process' role, but it's already a huge boundary most have.

It makes more sense in the context of "fresh" Linux OS software, e.g Android, but that's exactly where a strict policy from the start, like seccomp, would have done the job.

I think the article misses that there's a third way: subdivided software written with strict roles and boundaries in the first place. Hence why I classify this as "anti-virus" - its enforcement only kicks in after compromise. Prevention is better.
It's pretty freaking easy to interpret, as well... I implemented an interpreter in Go (which I had never used before) in an hour or so; most of the time spent was learning the two languages (Go and BF).

I should start asking interview candidates to write a BF interpreter...
