I have a close to 4 hour train commute per day and I just bring my 15" laptop on the train with me. I have a laptop section in my backpack so carrying it isn't an issue. Being on the train is typically the only time I bring my laptop out of the house as it is a long ride to work on side projects. If I had to do more travel, especially on a plane, then I could definitely see how a 13.5" screen would be worth it.

Yeah, by pretentious people who thought…

… that. I wouldn’t call someone who only knows how to display an alert a “JavaScript programmer” or base what are considered advanced concepts off of them.

jQuery is a pretty normal library that gained a lot of popularity. It’s not particularly advanced.
As far as I know the only major things not working right now are databases (sockets are not implemented) and network device enumeration (although I don't know if any program uses it).
Although your bash can access databases running on the Windows side.

It's good enough for NodeJS, Python, Ruby on Rails, C++ and dotnet core dev. What did you face problems with?

I was never a great history student but I am certain America 1.0 isn't as rosey as you paint it. I can think of genocide of indigenous people, slavery, increased use of capital punishment and mob justice tactics like tarring and feathering just off the top of my head depending on when you draw the line.

I imagine the kinds of things you listed are only coming to light now. I can't see what's unique about the people in power now that makes it likely they are the first acting like this, with maybe the exception of surveillance. I think the earlier American government had less problems keeping these activities secret.

However, despite that cynicism that doesn't mean Americans shouldn't fight for those improvements too!

15" is way too small for me. Basically it boils down to differences in usage patterns.

For my part I have a 17" laptop that is almost exclusively for home office use, a 11" chromebook for meetings or light work away from home, and an 8" tablet for entertainment and the odd emergency ssh session (I can fix servers over ssh from my phone too, but it's not exactly a fun experience).

The way I see it, there's no single form-factor that'll keep me happy, so I'd rather go for multiple.

I don't think people will ever agree on a single screen size or what other specs actually matters (e.g. I do have an SSD in my laptop, but quickly realises it doesn't really matter what type of storage I have, because I boot, I start Chrome and a bunch of terminals + ssh sessions, and then I rarely touch disk again; meanwhile other people load and store massive files regularly)

If you don't plan at night, then it helps if you have a morning routine. By running on autopilot for the first 30 minutes, it will likely provide time to plan your day in the morning. But the bigger point is to plan your day every day.

I wonder if aggregating your decisions during a planning session draws less from your daily will power budget than if you made those same decisions throughout the day. Maybe that is a reason to do a planning session closer to bedtime, assuming sleep acts as a reset.

Men can reduce their decision making without attracting attention as the person who always wears the same clothing.

* Pick a color palette for your shirts. Four is enough. Buy multiples of those.

* Get khakis and jeans. Multiples, again.

All of your shirts will go with all of your pants. In the winter, wear jeans. In the summer, wear khakis. When you decide to cross over, put the other ones away.

Women, however, seem to have much more pressure to consider fashion. Sorry; it's a societal construct. If you don't feel bad about it, exactly the same choices can work for you: pick a blouse in four colors, pick comfortable pants and jeans, be done with it.

Ruralness is the exact problem, though. That's why the buses are only hourly and trains are infrequent: Not enough population density to justify the increased expense of running more. I live in Manhattan, and trains and buses are waaaay more frequent.

Exactly what I've seen after a year implementing software that ultimately failed - probably the worst professional period of my life.

During that period I was ok, probably surviving on fight and flight, but since I've had episodes as you describe, although one case with a super high temperature that left me unable to work for 3 days.
I would consider a Surface if I could install Linux on it and it worked as well as a my System76. In fact I'm asking: is anyone out there doing this?

Profits fluctuate.

If a company generates -1 to 10 billion per year and has 2 billion cash on hand and assets worth 5 billion, they can handle several bad years and will tend to be profitable and very stable. If someone then says they can probably make debt payments of 5 billion a year then they might be able to do that for a while, but it will eventually cause them to fail.

The important consideration is you have already made back your investment at this point so the owners don't care. In fact if the company fails that suggests you succeeded in extracting more money than it was worth.

But to answer your question: there's going to have to be a rewrite of taxation and laws - see experiments with basic income - to cater for a world in which wealth is still being created but is being distributed less as the labour isn't required.

Whomever commands the robots of the future is probably looking at a big tax bill.
That's mostly because most people don't think about trucks at all. And economically speaking you're definitely right. But that isn't to say that there arent other ways that self driving cars can be transformative. I mostly walk everywhere, and at least 2-3 times a week I run across a hurried or inattentive driver that can't be bothered to stop before turning right on red, or turning left after waiting for traffic to clear without looking for pedestrians, or stop for pedestrians at an uncontrolled intersection. It would be a huge benefit to my quality of life to not have to worry about being killed by a selfish asshole like that.
The outwork myth
Windows of today is not the Windows of 10 years ago, and the Apple of today is not the Apple of 10 years ago.

Windows has improved considerably over the past decade, while Apple has shifted away from the professional market. It is realistic to believe that at least some people would switch platforms.
Because you need to write an entire kernel and I guess a compiler, and probably modify the applications to work on it instead of just dropping an ubuntu iso that works on any other system into it and using it unmodified?

I'm not sure the overhead is reeally that significant... I mean, we have pretty fast computers these days and I'm not sure even a 30% perf increase is worth all the effort of writing your own kernel and compiler when we're talking about doing something like running native binaries inside a browser which is pretending to be a real kernel...

It's awesome we can do these things today, and I guess that's reason enough to be doing them, but I'm not sure why we wouldn't want to just run any x86 (windows, linux, bsd, whatever) and not have to play catchup all the time..

First, it's hard to come up with useful examples on command. :)

Second, I was thinking more at the data persistence level. Which is harder to change than a simple refactor, and depending on the data store has zero cost (for example in MySQL booleans are just ints). They might then treat it as a boolean on the application side if there are indeed costs there.

Either way, a Senior programmer has that conversation and recognizes the potential costs down the line. Then makes decisions about the tradeoffs.
> Cutting out the sugar would help (especially because it's often a pointless addition with a painless substitution eg soda to non-sugar soda), but it would not be enough.

This may not be as useful a replacement as we've always been lead to believe. There's recent research that suggests that the body is tricked into behaving as if the sugar substitutes are actually sugar[0], especially when considering abdominal obesity.

15" is perfect for all-around use. Plug in an external monitor or two and you won't notice the difference between 17", and it's still plenty portable in any bag that holds more than a tablet.
I think it also depends on how you travel. I have a 4 hour commute each day but it is on the train. I'm lucky enough to be at the first stop each way so I typically get a seat and the train is typically empty enough so I get a seat to myself. Because of that I'm able to plop my 15" laptop on my and go to town. When I fly it is more of an issue because of the limited space, so I definitely understand why a 13" becomes a better option.
I detest Windows and much prefer Linux, but I have used OS X at work for years before, and caused it to crash regularly. Your experience will greatly depend on what applications you use and your usage pattern. I'd prefer more people switched to Linux too, but it's by no means certain that their experience would be better.
Ask HN: How do you set up your Mac?
I noticed the amperage on that adapter looked wrong, and in fact one of the only two reviews points this out: "DANGER: Cannot handle wattage of Macbook Pro power charging" "The specs for this say it handles 2.1 amps at 5 volts. That equals 10.5 Watts. The Apple 2016 Macbook Pro has either a 61 Watt or 87 Watt charger." ""At best this cable will reduce your charging speed by a factor of 6-8 times. That's why it cannot even charge the computer while you're actually using it."

If you have the 12" MacBook (as I do), this one supposedly works (it is from a legit company and claims to handle 60W, which is sadly for this thread just short of the 13" MacBook Pro), but it is extremely large and looks really annoying :/. (Check out pictures of the actual connector in the reviews, or on the product page of some other website than Amazon.)

Ceph should get a separate network which is only used for re-replication in case something happens. Consider a node goes down.

Another thing I might recommend is a third network (just a simple 1GB and a quality switch) for consensus. Re-replication can max the network out and further cause consensus fails, causes more re-replication winding down everything ... If that's not possible, add firewall rules to prioritize all consensus related ports high.
I looked at a surface book last month, decided to stick one more cycle with the new MBP, but I was moderately tempted. Hardware looks and felt pretty good. Biggest drawback was window 10 itself - too many colleagues and clients still have daily issues with it (mostly unscheduled updates and downtime) - I don't want to deal with that right now. But if it shakes out and stabilizes in the next couple years, a Surface might be my day to day machine then.
Not to mention that when conditions are said to be brought on by stress, there is a chicken and egg issue : being in pain causes stress.
Storing credit card numbers is annoying (unless you don't care to do it right, but it's pretty clear he does care). On the other hand, there are payment processors that will handle that sort of thing for you, for a fee.
If you have it plugged into two monitors I'm curious as to why you ended up buying a surface pro.
If by "professional workflow" you mean programming, I agree. But I'd have no problem using Linux for that instead of MacOS.

However, for many "professional workflow" means using the MS Office suite and a browser. For that use, Windows 10 is not only adequate but better than MacOS.
Mind if I ask what Thinkpad? And are you happy with it?
I agree, I hate the state of mac hardware, but I would have a very hard time leaving the macOS for the windows OS
It is possible to run SQLite entirely on a separate thread and avoid blocking the main thread on its I/O, though. It just requires that you're willing to ship the data you need to read and write between threads and handle the synchronization yourself. I've written applications that do this and it works very well, but it's certainly more work than if SQLite supported off-main-thread I/O natively.
Guilty.

And way for the parent to overgeneralize.
Internally (I work at Keybase) we use it even more for the opposite. We do use it for secrets, but very often we put public info into KBFS we want to verify.

As an example, a number of us use it to address pain points around SSH. I keep this: /keybase/public/chris/keys/ssh.txt (you can see them on keybase.pub/chris/keys/ssh.txt ), and I keep all my known hosts as a reference in another file (that one in my private directory)...so when I'm SSH'ing to a machine from a new one I never have to say yes to connecting to a fingerprint I haven't actually verified. If I don't recognize a fingerprint then in turn I contact the appropriate party using Keybase, get a confirmation, and then add it to my file.

I'm bringing up SSH because we're thinking of making SSH public keys an important part of Keybase and curious if others share the same pain point. You mentioned a bunch of team uses and wondering if this was part of your use too.

What I call "Document" are not files in the sense of a word file. They look like text files because that is what I thought engineers would be comfortable dealing with. However, they function as programs. Documents can be used as programs within other documents as well. Documents fill both the need to solve the calculations and to document them in one place. It eliminates the need to update documentation, have multiple platforms, etc.

There are places for users to upload and store data as well - datasets.

As of now, the code solves equations in javascript within the browser. This is why documents have to be opened when a requirement changes - because I have no server side of the code to solve them without the browser. It isn't a long term solution, merely a step in the building on the platform. My next step is to add a server side code that is capable of solver more complex and larger equations on the server. When that is done, changes to requirements will update documents without the need to open them manually. I plan on using python and there are several large libraries available.

This will allow me to link documents to CAD. When the math changes, the CAD will change as well. Once that is done, I will add a finite element meshing and solution system to create an engineering platform that essentially does everything.

I like your site. It's nice to see other people addressing these problems. I am also an aerospace guy. I worked on the shuttle for a while and then designed some components for the Orion. Shoot me an email if you want to talk more.
I hope my MBPr doesn't die on me for another year and in the meantime Cook will see some sense. I have to say I'm not in love with the Surface either, but their trajectory seems opposite to the Apple one: MS now "gets" what developers want, even non-MS ones. The change of CEO did wonders for them, whereas it seems to have sent Cupertino on the path of being Yet Another Consumer Electronics Company.
A simple toroidal magnet creates a complicated field, while this complicated magnet creates a much simpler and more benign field.

AFAIK, in Tokamaks you need to permanently increase the plasma current to keep it stable, which puts an upper bound on the time you can sustain the plasma (you can't increase the current forever).
In a Stellarator, by contrast, you can keep the current constant, and thus have plasma durations measured in hours instead of minutes.

Documentation.

I'm a sort of internal consultant in my company who often interfaces with external customers. I've repeatedly heard that no one else provides as thorough yet easily understood documentation. They value the results, but value truly understanding them and being able to follow how I got them almost as much.
I do. And they have.
Not unless your application aims to encompass the entirety of running a business. Otherwise it's just plain user-hostile greed.

Personally, I do love whenever applications allow to export data and lack of such feature is IMO strong negative.
> I disagree. The drive to work and/or be productive is one of the reasons we're the apex predator, and not our prior evolutionary human-like variations. It's not "society" that says you have to work, but your DNA.

Whereas most anthropological and genetic studies indicate that homo sapiens did not "win", but instead we mated with them and joined the disparate species.

> Example... do you notice the drive among the powerful/wealthy individuals, governments, and corporations - to get to space and colonize our solar system and beyond? That drive does not exist if we sit on our laurels. Those are the people pushing the species forward - it would be simple to do nothing, and for them to sip very expensive coffee and entertain themselves until their life expired.

Sigh. And here we go, with moralizing capitalistic thought with expansion and growth.

You pack in the assumption that capitalism pushes society forward and will continue to do so. I also seem to remember the Wright bros story. They patented the aeropane in the US, whereas it was free to use elsewhere. They locked down the industry so it was their way or no way. Eventually, the US military had to step in, due to WWI, and end their protections.

In the end, capitalism is great at looking that it furthers science and the arts. But the bad sides are that it: 1. retards cooperation between different entities 2. pits person against person 3. encourages to maximize money against all other means

> tldr; if/when a society meltdown occurs, I don't want you on my team.

Don't worry. You wouldn't be on my "team" anyways. It'd be your loss, given I know many things, including many arts and sciences from the SCA.

Inside Peter Thiel's genius factory
I used to do this for years, just because I realized it didn’t matter (to me). It drove my colleagues nuts though and they tried to pressure me into “changing my shirt” or making fun of me because I could care less about wearing jeans on Friday. I told them I took a shower once a month whether I needed it or not, so let me be.

Anyway, I no longer do it because I just grew tired of the same look, but I have been considering going back because I found the plain white shirts I used to wear turned out to be very high quality and lasted forever. I can’t seem to find a variety of colored shirts with the same longevity. It seems the mix of cotton/polyester and weave is different depending on the color die, but the white shirts with a 60/40 (cotton/poly) were really a good deal in the long run. Coincidentally, I’m wearing one right now :).
