I'd Love to see someone take on GNUStep are run with it. The constant reinvention of the wheel with FOSS desktops and Window Managers is mind boggling. Too much 'not invented here' syndrome? Sadly the task is way beyond my capabilities. Still one of the best ever... Of course, YMMV!

bevi | Boston, MA | ONSITE | full time

We are a well-funded hardware/software start-up. Bevi is redesigning the beverage supply chain with machines that purify water and make customized drinks in seconds. Our system vastly cuts the cost and carbon footprint of beverages. http://bevi.co/

Full-stack software developer http://bevi.co/careers.html#full-stack--mobile-software-deve...
Our ideal candidate, while having his areas of expertise, will not shy away from digging into any part of our software: firmware, mobile applications, web ui and backend.
The interview process includes a coding test.
For what it's worth, I was taught to sit in the intersection when making a left turn in driver's ed.

Maybe it's an east west thing, but here is a video of a guy complaining about people who DON'T enter the intersection: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q_bcjCOzob4

Again, he is saying that the proper thing to do is to enter the intersection and sit, regardless.

So, it seems like the issue may be that in some areas this behavior is promoted (even in drivers ed classes) and in others it's illegal.

Of course, I am not from a large city that deals with gridlock, so that may be part of the difference.
Out-of-band updates sound like a hole Apple would want to plug in the near future. The review process is entirely pointless when the the developer can bypass it via subsequent updates.
Uplift to us is bringing the patches into mozilla-central pref'd off so that Tor developers can just pref features on, rather than re-merge patches for each major and dot release. We also add tend to add tests.
Then there's always the jerks who bring their entire matched luggage set as "carry on" and then bitch and moan that nobody will move their stuff in the overhead for them, and act offended when anyone heaves a sigh and rolls their eyes as they trudge up and down the aisle looking for somewhere to shove their bag that they know won't even fit anyway. "I fly all the time, I know it will fit" -_-
This isn't a fair comparison unless SL has the same features as VSCode and Atom - Git integration, right-click file options, etc.
Personally, my experience with my Surface Book has been nothing but pleasure. I have the latest SB, and it's the best laptop I've had in a long time. It's well crafted, feels good working on it, and quick. And the battery life is awesome. I cannot express how impressed I've been with the battery life. And this isn't browsing the web. This is with Unity and Visual Studio open and actively working with it.

Going back to my rMBP for work feels limiting and slow.

There are workflow changes and difference I'm having to work through. They are different systems, after all. But it's been a good experience so far.
To add a bit more detail:

It's not purely the syntax, but more difficulty finding API documentation to match "what i want to do". Eg, if i wanted to add a package, or if i wanted to add a custom package, what function would i use? (not a question directed at you). If i wanted to add a chroot, what would i use? What args are available on those functions? etcetc

The documentation was a massive frustration to an already confused person.

On top of that, it seemed every package/binary i wanted wasn't available in Nixpkgs, or was outdated in Nixpkgs - so i had to learn how to modify the binaries for pretty much everything i did. And, when you don't know what you're doing, this is a massive barrier to entry.

I'm not too savvy on Linux and runtime requirements of binaries, so finding the requirements of a binary or setting up chroots for binaries that i could not modify was very time consuming. I spent most of my time doing that, in fact.

The concept of NixOS represents time saved to me. Reproducible builds based on a idempotent config, awesome! But in reality, i had to figure out how to make everything i wanted idempotent, and it was just a massive barrier.

I'm super smitten, i think the documentation just needs a bit of work. I would love to run it on my home server and also Nixpkgs on my Mac.
> IIRC the USA doesn't really do trains

the US does a lot of trains, but generally for short distances on commuter corridors, and municipal light rail. we don't do high speed passenger rail, which is probably what you're thinking of.
Answer: Deduplication

What I don't get is why they decided to roll their own instead of using a file system with support for deduplication such as ZFS.
Both of the problems you mentioned sound like previously undetected hardware issues or possibly an issue with a kernel extension. Sierra, like its predecessors back to 10.0, does not need to be restarted except for updates in normal usage – but the symptoms you describe are characteristic examples of a hardware failure (halting animations suggests it's not I/O but something like the CPU/GPU or a kernel extension). Similarly, enabling FileVault is a reliable process which doesn't cause disk corruption but since it accesses the entire disk it sometimes exposes pre-existing corruption.

I would start by checking the logs to see whether there's anything obviously failing, running the hardware diagnostics (reboot while holding down the D key – https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201257), and then uninstalling all of the apps which you mentioned that require privileged access since at least Karabiner and Little Snitch are kernel extensions and third-party kexts are notorious sources of bugs for months after a new OS X release.
Has anyone stopped to think, "do people actually want to talk to a computer?" I think we are more simply interested in commanding them to get our tasks done easier, but this "conversational" nonsense and making it more human like is, well, nonsense.
The current title of this article is just as absurd as the original.

Why have an article saying that something else with no evidence "did not appear" to have happened. Why not title it "Mole people do not appear to have targeted Vermont utility" or "Reptilian overlords do not appear to have targeted Vermont utility".
I wonder if there are exceptions to this rule in war zones where one's life is at stake.

Anecdote: Yes, errant gun fire and far off explosions stopped making the hair on the back of our neck stand up during deployment, but we always waited for the controlled detonation signal or confirmation if the area where small arms fire was happening. It's possible that my perspective didn't match the general sentiment of the unit. It still seemed like there wasn't much complacency.

And one of the times where the explosions weren't controlled detonations, the reaction force was mounted and moving to location in the standard allotted time.
Do you have a reference for the more complicated strategies?
Well it's just a definition of a word. You could define "shy" to mean anything you like, as long as it works for you.

As far as I can see, the grandparent's definition of shyness matches my experience with shy people very much (and also the depiction of shy people in media that I consume).
Not to mention the classic for any platform: excellent first party games to get it into people's homes in the first place.
How are you able to pay your rent on a credit card without an additional 2-3% (at least) fee?
Google is actually pretty good at accepting updates to things like operating hours. I've done it many times. They actually have a program (https://www.google.com/local/guides/) that encourages you to keep their maps up-to-date with correct information.
Fingerprinting (in general) is the next thing on the agenda after First Party Isolation. Addressing canvas fingerprinting is in the plan:

I sensed that their doom was imminent when I saw the impractical concept car they came out with, with a very high power/weight ratio to "beat" the Tesla. Tesla started smaller, gained experience and advanced with very practical and safe, albeit expensive, cars.
Faraday looked like a try to be parasitic on the original Tesla concept. I feel it lacked intelligence at the helm and it also lacked vision = snakebit and doomed to die...
> Good thing I never made that claim.

You said "It has applications in physics and is widely used in computation". Category theory is not widely used by those who program computers and thus produce computation in them.

> I will however claim that, despite being unnecessary in principle, quite a bit more than 0.01% of code executed globally did make use of category theoretic abstractions because they are so useful (depending on how you measure this of course). Pretty much any program written for .NET and Scala makes use of monadic composition.

And like clockwork, you provide the bog-standard argument for why knowing category theory is important: you point out how many people productively write software without knowing anything about category theory (or even abstract algebra).

Saying that people use category theory to write software without knowing it is like saying they use Maxwell's Laws to write software: so reductive it loses all relevance to productive conversation. That's bad, unless your goal is to make the conversation unproductive.
I sometimes wonder if Infocom had held it together what they would be doing in the chatbot era. Seems like they had some ideas that might have helped.
Yikes!! I did a quick look at the periods between 1980 an now and guesstimated that it would be 35 months to the next leap second (2020). As a Ham radio person I get sun spots and solar winds which will make a difference on the rotation.

But as an R programmer I went back and ran the numbers and it's looking like 2020. Happy to see that my Mark 1 Eyeball estimate was close. But I'm happy to see what your numbers are.

With the advent of the Raspberry Pi support for time and the cheap GPS units, I run my time locally. See https://blog.ntpsec.org/ for details.

And yes, I cleared the second change, but I in full disclosure it wasn't until 9 AM before I checked.
Office 365 sounds correct, i bet that's my ad as well.

Each to their own I suppose. I personally don't find homebrew to be a nightmare at all but that is of course anecdotal.

You are mistaken if you think that Apple never intended the Mac to be used for general purpose Unix development though, they used to advertise it for that purpose on the science section of their website, before it was removed.

Etherplay: Play Skill Games on Ethereum
> with one big difference: it loaded instantaneously and was fast

When things were HTML, like most things "back in the days", thing were fast.
Frames, maybe iframes, and ready-to-consume HTML.

Does Squirrelmail rings a bell? It was one of the earliest popular webmails in PHP, and it run every machines I accessed internet with, including 96MB RAM Pentium I MMX laptop.

The current trend of outsourcing rendering to the client is not really a gain for anyone: the server side still does a lot of arranging and magic on that data which is served, while it could just generate HTML. Serve the already done HTML, replace the parts in the DOM like we did in the beginning of the AJAX days, and things would be much faster.

Out of curiosity, I installed a lesser known browser, Dillo. It's dumb: it can parse a minimal amount of CSS and probably HTML ~4; the rest, it drops. And voilá: the internet - well, the ones that are still serving a viable miminum HTML without JS - became instant. Using the word "fast" would be an understatement.

We need to go back to the roots, otherwise we're using a lot of CPUs as heaters.
Actually something like that is on sale (at least here in Italy).

> noisy bars/restaurants where it's almost impossible to have conversation beyond a sentence a couple words long

I'm seriously asking myself how anyone can enjoy these.
That's at least 6 seconds slower than a 2010 MacBook Air running Sierra. It might be worth watching Activity Monitor when you open it to see whether you have something like swapping or simply I/O issues loading all of the icons – high latency is a common indicator that a storage device is about to fail.

So people should have to buy more expensive services, bundled in a way they don't like, want or need, just so others can have the price for those services hidden in the overall price? Why?

If somebody wants to carry a lot of luggage on, or eat a bunch of in-flight meals, that's fine. Doesn't mean they get to demand that these things be included always, for everybody. We could demand that complimentary champagne and cheesecake be included in a flight; that doesn't mean that it wouldn't cost money or that people who didn't want it wouldn't be paying for the people who do.

It doesn't help people, especially those with less money, to demand that only comprehensive and luxurious services be available.
I can think of a few more reasons beyond rescue.

- It's easier to find a significant other with whom to produce offspring if you exhibit kindness and charity to others.

- Generosity is often reciprocated.

- Giving implies EQ so altruistic person also likely takes care of family.

That's the issue with statistical models with finite decisions and states, they don't include enough parameters and interactions to capture anything relating to real life.

Like imagine a prehistoric human feeds a weak stranger, later that month the stranger warns them of danger. It's so obvious how kindness could be beneficial gene.
OCR?
I don't buy that they "forgot they were full" because of diminished short term memory. When people overeat, I do not buy that it is because they actually forgot that they already ate.

Some other brain effect could make sense, but this one seems weak.
Ask HN: Can you link me to some trivia databases or APIs?
I'm looking for a huge amount of trivia questions which need to be in the format of Multiple Choice and also need to be separated by category.

Ideally I would like them to be downloadable but a good api that I can access would be suitable.

I also would prefer them to be free - this is a small project for my studies and do not want to be paying hundreds for like I was just quoted by one company.

Thank you for your help guys :)
That's a very good point indeed. In that particular case the diagnostic chatbot is a proof-of-concept to grab attention to the diagnosis+NLP API offered by Infermedica, and also serve as an example app.

Have you trued ConEMU/CMDer? For my uses, I found it to be an adequate replacement for the terminal in OSX. Outside of "watch" not working properly in Windows, the stuff I've done in Node has worked fine, but I probably do simple stuff compared to most.
Reality is more complex than that. This is what most people are talking about when they talk about stimulating consumption:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Keynesian_economics#Excessive_...

It logically leads to the existence of an optimum rate of saving/spending and the requirement of some powerful actor to keep that rate near optimum. Notice that the math is flawless, but there are some issues with its meaning, so again, reality is more complex than that too.
X86 Assembly Guide – codingeek
> If everyone would start bringing their own food that would lead to a huge mess of transporting, storing, unpacking, preparing and disposing of food in all sorts of random ways at various times throughout the flight by the hundreds of hungry sleep deprived passengers. Airports would be even less efficient going through security, vendors trying to sell food to go and people congregating to buy things.

For any flight over 45 minutes I always bring my own food. It's better than anything I can get on the plane and cheaper too. There's nothing special about going through security as it's in my carry on.

Only catch is you can't bring large liquids (so no thermos full of soup). I suppose you could have a set of 3.5 oz containers you eventually merge into a bowl but that's a little too extreme even for me ...
Agree as well. And I'm not sure about the "outdated" characterization. I find the most hardware driver support with RHEL. If a vendor is going to support Linux at all, they almost always start with RHEL and its derivatives.

RHEL is the Linux distro for production systems that you want to just run without any tinkering or surprises.
As an artist/illustrator, I'm often working with multiple, large (1GB+) files when preparing stuff for print. Photoshop eats up 8GB of ram doing just about nothing, so when you try to bulk apply some rendering action, export files, or hell, even use their brush engine with something besides the default tool presets, the current gen macs don't cut it. And this doesn't into account running a Cintiq and another display, or their awful integrated graphics setup, etc, etc

I'm currently looking at gaming Desktops to replace my current setup because those are the only things with enough horsepower anymore. It sucks because I feel like I'm going to have to divide up a lot of the scripted tasks I have to make my workflow more efficient, given the lack of a real Unix environment on Windows.
Apparently, the UN and some African countries also make use of Akoma Ntoso, but like you I've never seen it in practice. Open data is not provided well. For example, it is possible to get XML documents from the EU parliament, but you have to request access to their FTP server and it is a laborious process.

I've met Monica Palmirani of Akoma Ntoso recently and she told me they have just launched a case law standard, and so they're still working on it. I'm actually amazed she hasn't burned out yet. Trying to get governments to play nice data-wise is i n c r e d i b l y hard.
LA has a very underrated transport system. You can get pretty much anywhere, it just might take longer than by car, but only by an hour or two. Biggest hurdle is bus frequency, but even the routes on the hour are reliable and usable.
What are some good resources for high quality MEAN stack app development?
I am currently limited to working in the MEAN stack and am interested in materials that show common pitfalls and advanced usage, particularly on the server side. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated!
For someone that was waiting for this hardware refresh to get a Macbook Pro and a new Cinema Display, I was surprised that the keyboard became less utilitarian and the display more-so.
Why don't small businesses lobby for universal healthcare then? I understand the historical reasons, but the idea of healthcare being tied to employment as the best solution we can come up with is kind of baffling. It is a huge obstacle to small businesses.

If you need to you can heat up the oxygen to increase it's volume until the pressure is correct. I forget the reason that it's easier to do with methane than oxygen but it's possible to do with oxygen too if you really need to. ULA's new ACES upper stage is planned to use autogenous pressurization for both it's oxygen and hydrogen tanks.

>This is great news, until we look at the open space and say, "Wow! Now we can fit so many more commuters on these streets."

>It's just that NYC culture is about trying to cram the most things in one place.

One possibility in this case is to just fill the streets with people in the way they transiently get filled during coordinated street closures and in the way they are more or less permanently so in the right areas of Barcelona, Paris, Pattaya, etc. This would take a lot of planning and lobbying to get done right I imagine.
I see this in Tokyo. Americans just stuck at home, stranded and helpless because of their culturally reasons. Oh no wait they just use the awesome public transport system. But it's very difficult for them to enjoy such efficience because...you..know...culture
For example, tax the robot work equal to human work. But since the robots don't need money the salary paid to a robot is pooled to a "common bank account" and then distributed to humans according to some criteria by the goverment.
I flew in yesterday and there was some kind of a "nation-wide computer-system outage", so there was a 1.5 hour line at border control. Apparently the CBP officers were getting a bit frustrated with all the travelers. My officer made a couple of offhand jokes about the idea of sending me back where I came from. Apparently he didn't like that my visa type was too fancy for my job title.

If the airport did not have American flags all over, I would have thought that I'm in a third-world country.
Ya know we use CircleCI for another project for running integration tests and deployment, but I never looked into it any more than that.

The system is working right now, so I kind of don't want to mess with it until we get some time, but I'll definitely take a look at that.
Luckily, Trump is going to make America great again and will keep all those manufacturing jobs where owners don't like to pay minimum wage because they can't afford to pass on the raise because nobody wants to buy cheap apparel at this price point.

While I understand why the author is complaining, he should much rather complain to all his potential customers that make a purchase decision based on price instead of ethically supporting american workers.

I'm really waiting to see all those voters spend significantly more on "Made in Great America" apparel to make sure to keep all those jobs...
