The high-end processor on the 2011 Macbook Pro was the 2860QM. Current options on the 15" are the 6700HQ, which is about 1% faster on single threads and 14% faster on multiple threads, and the 6920HQ, which is about 23% faster on single threads and 36% faster on multiple threads.
This is probably a trivial complaint to some, but after using a Precision 5510 for a while I really wouldn't want to go back to a laptop screen with a wide bezel again. It's up to personal aesthetic choice, mostly, I guess.

edit: It's also unclear whether the SSD in the ZBook is PCIe or not. It isn't stated, so I assume it's not, as PCIe performance is a differentiator.

This article confirms that the low interest capital days are coming to an end. Porsche too thought they could grow with debt. Then the low interest capital ran out and they got bought by Volkswagen.
He's "truly God and truly Man". The Chalcedonian Definition is a good summary of orthodox thought on the issue:

Following, then, the holy Fathers, we all unanimously teach that our Lord Jesus Christ is to us One and the same Son, the Self-same Perfect in Godhead, the Self-same Perfect in Manhood; truly God and truly Man; the Self-same of a rational soul and body; co-essential with the Father according to the Godhead, the Self-same co-essential with us according to the Manhood; like us in all things, sin apart; before the ages begotten of the Father as to the Godhead, but in the last days, the Self-same, for us and for our salvation (born) of Mary the Virgin Theotokos [God-bearer] as to the Manhood; One and the Same Christ, Son, Lord, Only-begotten; acknowledged in Two Natures unconfusedly, unchangeably, indivisibly, inseparably; the difference of the Natures being in no way removed because of the Union, but rather the properties of each Nature being preserved, and (both) concurring into One Person and One Hypostasis; not as though He were parted or divided into Two Persons, but One and the Self-same Son and Only-begotten God, Word, Lord, Jesus Christ; even as from the beginning the prophets have taught concerning Him, and as the Lord Jesus Christ Himself hath taught us, and as the Symbol of the Fathers hath handed down to us.
You're starting to sound like one of those funny infomercials where everything is black and white and the actor fumbles with some overtly awkward action, that is otherwise mundane... Holding their outstretched arm up over their head with their other arm, a grimace of strain on their face, trying to scroll with their pinky finger. All the while the voice-over is asking why you'd subject yourself to this.

It's a, very natural, quarter inch movement of your thumb while your arm rests comfortably on the table. Not unlike having your hand on your coffee mug.

Ask HN: What's the state of the art for reverse proxies?
Had a friend ask me how to replace an nginx RP to support 'canary percentages' and server names on the backend (instead of IPs). I had no idea what to say.

I've never worked with an RP I would recommend. (haproxy was the standard 2 years ago when I touched this last but powerful config languages turn me off).

Any insight from the community?
Done. You're welcome.

Next imaginary problem?
Seriously, you guys SHOULD stop sending book-long blames around your companies. All it can do is hurt yourselves.
I would agree. I would not want to do serious editing on a laptop that costs >2x, has half the ram and like a third of the CPU/GPU power. Just not worth the money and time. So much longer waiting for renders...
Yes. Actually, I got a 5 year warranty from Dell where such a replacement was free.
As far as I am aware if you license ARM you are not just getting the information to put an ARM core with an ARM instruction set in your system, you can also add custom instructions to access custom silicon that's in the same package (I think the Wii did that to an extent with their DRM). That way you can add your own very high performance and specialized extensions that might normally end up being separate custom silicon IC's. Compare this to the generally available RISC-V cores which would be not specialized towards some end but allow you to program them as a more general device cooperating with a larger system. This I feel is more apparent in SoC circumstances.

How can I revert it back? We had a major incident, I started Firefox to debug, of course it updated upon start, and replaced Firebug with this shit. Then Firefox crashed while I tried to click on the bubble which advertised to switch back. After the restart of Firefox there is no way to change back!? Stupid autoupdate crap, who in the right mind thought a feature incomplete tools is good to be forced upon users. Allow me to change back to Firebug, or Firefox is dead for me (until Servo replaces it).
I edited post to include link.

The count starts at 1095, because there are 1095 eight hour blocks of time in a normal year, there are 1098 in a leap year.

The idea is to destroy the calendar, and destroy the clock! Replace them with a slow gentle reminder of the passage of time, instead of this fine-grained instrument we use now.

I find that the main thing exact time keeping does in my life is to create scheduled events that I don't want to go to! Meetings and pointless social events, I would rather be hacking or building in a zen like flow state.

Of course to really achieve that dream I would have to be single and shun my family, and then I would get lonely :)

But I still like Maker Time. It is a comfort.

It all started as an exercise in exploring Decimal Time. But Decimal time has all kinds of problems and all implementations are really clunky. And the reason is that the solar and lunar calendars don't sync nicely. I found what I think is a pretty elegant compromise, by breaking the day into 8 hour time periods.

Decimal time was attempted in the early Americas and most famously during the French Revolution. A form of Decimal time was at one point the official calendar of France.

Because instead of depending on a 3rd party, you depend on yourself (and in this case you'd hammer your own server, and notice). It is not far fetched; Windows and OS X work this way. By default, they use their own NTP servers. OS X even has separate servers for different regions (Europe, Asia, and Americas).

It was probably more about sleep deprivation, chronic stress, and immediate reprioritization in your life, more than anything. It's hard to focus on learning new tasks when you're tired, and you're forced to confront a million new things at home.

The study just said that, in small areas of the brain, gray matter was reduced, and they theorized that this specialization helped a new mother recognize her infant and its needs. Nothing to do with math and physics.

Web awesomeness served randomly
I think you guys are both right. And I'm sure one could construct some sort of venn diagram for startup funding with circles for equity, debt and bootstrapping; where a given startup is a good match for one or more funding choices (based on its biz model, industry, geography, founders, etc..).

(By the way congrats on financing your Series B with revenue, that is awesome!).

Just wanted to add one point in the equity vs debt debate is 'in theory' once a startup gets big enough doing the math on choosing equity or debt is very different. Once a startup is a real company and reasonably calculates how much money it needs and what it expects to earn on that money, an "optimal" capital structure calculation starts to emerge [1] and VCs and banks will compete for your business.

For a healthy, growing startup, if selling a certain % of your equity to a VC looks unattractive compared taking out a bank loan then your equity valuation is being mispriced here. Negotiate it. Conversely if a bank loan looks unattractive compared to VC equity offers (because the bank's convenants are too burdensome and your monthly interest/principal payments pull too much cash away from your growing business then the lender is mispricing your borrower risk). Negotiate it.

To follow on the Facebook example above, I believe they started mixing equity and debt almost immediately as early as 2004 [2]. Their seed investors backed their credit line (WTI invested $25k in equity and provided a $600k credit line). Later, FB took on $100M in debt from TriplePoint about the same take they sold .08% for $120M ($15B post). If you do the math here, then diluting ownership by .08% for $120M that you don't have to pay back vs. writing checks for $150M to pay back a loan over the next few years, the equity starts to look pretty attractive.

[1] Optimal Capital Ratio: One might disagree with how this is done or what it means but calculating an optimal capital structure is a thing: http://pages.stern.nyu.edu/~adamodar/pdfiles/acf2E/presentat...

[2] FB made some good choices early. I wonder how much equity and advise from Thiel played a factor: http://dealbook.nytimes.com/2012/02/01/tracking-facebooks-va...
I generally agree about Xcode, I have since demoted it to essentially a build engine and use external editors, etc. to actually do work.

Although, regarding Swift: you cannot blame them for Swift 3 breaking things because they have always been clear what was going to happen! It evolved a lot, and that was kind of the point; it’s one of the reasons there is no stable ABI yet.
Hahahaha, oh Kenaka. GET WITH THE TIMES, Kaneka!

I am also on 9550 with Ubuntu 16.04. I upgraded RAM to 32GB. I mostly do Android development (gradle and Android Studio eat a huge amount of memory). I've run into a few weird issues with different version of Linux kernel. Some kernel version caused no sound at all. This is such a common topics among Ubuntu users and there are so many solutions about that. I've tried most of them (solutions around alsamixer and pulseaudio) only using certain version of kernel works for me.

I am curious which linux kernel version people (and your co-worker) are using though.

And that's the problem. I do want to move away from MacOS but I don't see anything better yet. And there are a lot of useful apps unique to Apple's ecosystem and iCloud. Well, looks like I'm knee-deep in a vendor lock-in.
There isn't a compelling reason imo, you get a dark console theme, slightly nicer / slimmer browser chrome, and a newer version of FF than the normal stable release, I'm not sure much else is different though.
Right now Lightsail is attempting to cross the startup death valley by first selling its pressure vessel technology before tackling the more demanding energy market. They recently announced a tractor trailer sized compressed natural gas module. The idea is to get their costs down to where they can be competitive in energy storage, its an open question on whether that is possible.

Btw, their vessels are carbon fiber, not steel. And deriving heat is a problem not a benefit. Every bit of heat that leaves the system is lost efficiency.

Here's what the John Gruber-types seem to be missing:

True, the Apple-lost-their-way criticism used to be mostly reserved to junk media outlets.

But that changed. The new Mac Pro and Final Cut 10 marked the beginning of that. Apple has changed, and so did their target audience.
Most anti-ad fraud vendors can't do the IP packet analysis trick since they use ELB to help control their costs/scale.

All the other techniques require JavaScript and/or AS3 and are thus subject to modification by these kinds of sophisticated attackers. The only real way to do JavaScript in these cases is to change it often enough and run enough parallel versions that the attacker cannot keep up.
Exactly what I had in mind.

Saving the Nest Atlas: Our Expenses, “Enterprise Level” Usage, and Open Source
I have Xubuntu running on one of these and, for the most part, love this machine. There is one design defect and a couple of nitpicks I have:

- The webcam is below the screen ... I don't want to join a video conference when the primary view is my nose hair.

- Why do "modern" slim devices only have two USB ports? There is room on the chassis for more (I don't know about the interior layout).

- We've tried several of the Dell docks with these ... while I love the fact that the laptop charges through the same cable that's used for everything else (video, audio, HID devices), it's a bit buggy. Two examples are that: 1) you have to plug speakers into the computer's audio jack after the computer is attached to the dock and booted and 2) you have to be careful the magnetic switch doesn't tell the laptop/dock your lid is closed - in my case the keyboard and mouse connected to the dock become disabled even when the laptop wakes back up.
Small payments sharply diminish gap in responses to partisan factual questions
For quick notes that I don't need to index nor search later I just grab a physical notebook that sits on my table. It has a pen in it marking the next empty page.

Other than that, I click a button on my taskbar to load Notepad or Gedit depending on the OS I'm using. Take notes there, but don't save it. Once I'm done, I go to Evernote and paste the notes there, give it a title and add tags.

I'm one of those people who keep Evernote with only 2 notebooks: Inbox and Archive. All possible use cases on taken notes are based on tags, which I add/remove according to my workflow.

Meet the Open Source Design Collective
Well a WYSIWYG editor built in is not really comparable with the features of Firebug.
I positively adore Firebug, with the DOM panel alone being worth its weight in gold.

As far as our new environment: The scratchpad seems like a neat tool for larger code 'experiments', but to it's placement in the overall tools is puzzling. The Scratchpad and Console should be combined without needing to enable "Toggle split console", at least for bottom docking.

Firebug brilliantly combined these two to form the ultimate JavaScript REPL, doing so in the way that maximized available screen space (side by side). To replicate the same functionality the new system requires two space wasting windows spanning the entire width of the browser.

Also, and am I crazy here: but one of the commands to run code in the Scratchpad is Command-R. That just refreshes the entire page, which would appear to make it the worse short-cut in the history of modern software. The one shortcut to run code that does seem to work, Command-I, is incredibly inconvenient to type. Yes we have buttons, but shortcuts are nice too.

Overall though: Firebug was and has been a revelation. It's empowered me to write better code in less time, and I'm pleased to see it live on.
I believe MS does in fact use a typed heap in IE, but for security reasons (some sort of UAF mitigation iirc).
Yes, you're totally right. Unfortunately I have two obstacles:
- This is my device for work, just setting up environment on different PC is problematic, and extra time of waiting for it being repaired.
- I bought it in a different country that currently I'm living. Frankly I don't know if I can use local support, guys from DellSweden didn't reply my question yet.

Problem is that, when you spend pretty decent amount of money for a device, you do have an expectation in terms of quality, partially you're paying for that.

> Lack of macro hygiene is just peachy keen among Scheme programmers as long as you are explicit about which identifier bindings can leak into, or out of, the macro definition from the macro call site.

Not all Scheme programmers. Mostly Chicken users, in my experience :p

The rest of us demand hygiene.

> Scheme standards before R6RS[0] were a rough consensus on which language features everyone could agree on as useful additions. That's why only syntax-rules made the cut, not because Scheme programmers object to the ability to break hygiene.

The reason only syntax-rules made the cut is precisely because the only thing the Scheme committee could come to a consensus on, as far as macros are concerned, was the high-level, hygienic syntax-rules system. In fact, the very reason Scheme didn't have a standard macro system for many years was specifically because of the problems of traditional procedural macros being unhygienic.

> [0] R6RS, in a break from Scheme tradition, adopted a systemd-esque "come up with a standard for these needed features, any standard, and everybody else needs to fall in line whether or not they like it" approach.

Err, no. R6RS adopted a 60% vote for the ratification of the standard rather than the 100% consensus approach used previously. This change was largely viewed as a welcome one by the community, because R5RS was delayed for nearly a decade because of one person (R. Kent Dybvig, iirc) holding out on some things everyone else wanted (especially records). Furthermore, the change to a vote was enacted by the Scheme community at large, and the editors of the R6RS were all well-known and respected members of the Scheme community before they assumed editorship. There's nothing systemd-esque nor "fall in line whether you like it or not" about it. The entire process was very democratic.

The main reason R6RS hasn't seen wide adoption has more to do with its size than anything else. However, keep in mind that the Scheme Steering Committee had explicitly tasked the R6RS committee with creating a standard that was both backwards-compatible with IEEE Scheme and made it easier for Scheme implementations to be interoperable. At the time the R6RS process started, Scheme's biggest problem was determined to be the lack of portability available to Scheme programs due to the minimalism of R5RS, which made it inadequate for many real-world programs and lead to each implementation having its own incompatible extensions — as such, programs tended to run on one particular implementation and not any others. This made it especially difficult to write useful libraries for Scheme. While R6RS is far from perfect, the R6RS committee really did an admirable job in achieving that goal, all things considered.

That sounds awesome.

Although - and I know this isn't a Facebook project - Facebook is very low in the order of companies I trust with home automation/AI, if he decides to make Jarvis commercial (probably necessitating a name change!) I think I'm not sure I'd trust it even if ostensibly "not a Facebook company".
This Luddite has rather a lot of money invested in a professional grade audio interface. Replacing it with modern connectivity would be upwards of a thousand dollars. Ouch. And it works perfectly. Why am I throwing away hardware that I like and trust for the relentless march to the future?

Any recording interface more substantial than a headphone jack is wired. It's going to remain that way for a while. Audio is a quasi-realtime problem with a lot of bandwidth. Neither Bluetooth nor 802.11 are really reliable enough for the task, and won't be for some time to come.

Preserving investment in hardware that works, rather than making a risky expenditure on hardware that may or many not work (and will change process), isn't "Luddite". It's realist. We have the same problem with much more static tech, like ATMs and voting machines. The "one single port" dream you're spouting? I've heard that dream before. It was called "Firewire" back then. Another decade or so, and we'll be digging Lightning connectors out of our junk drawer and saying "Hey, remember this? Do we even need to keep this anymore?"

But this is where I get pragmatic. I know I have compatibility issues, so I'm looking at semi-retiring the MBP just for the heavy lifting and compatibility of audio, and maybe looking at what else can be done about photo editing. And a Chromebook for web browsing and other not-hard-work sounds better and better all the time.
