As an alternative to WSL docker for windows is also very helpful.

I use it to spin up linux images that contain all the devtools that I need, and mount files/code from windows in there. For a terminal just enter the image with exec /bin/sh. To get a consistent experience I also use msys bash (which is bundled with git for windows) for terminal use on windows. With that setup entering and exiting linux containers feels very similar to on OSX.

The downside of docker for windows is that you need HyperV activated, which weans VirtualBox no longer works. The older boot2docker solution worked together with VirtualBox - however it didn't support filesharing between windows and docker containers, so there's unfortunately a tradeoff.
When in history have completely random samples of complete strangers been thrown together in life-or-death situations with no ability to communicate with each other and discuss their options?

Artificial studies like this have practically no bearing on actual behavior of real populations in real situations. Try the same study with a family, or a football team or the employees of a company or a military unit and then see what result you get. That's what reality is like. Real people don't live in randomly selected study groups, they live in communities.

I don't believe I ever used the word "moron" to describe someone who purportedly believes that the FBI, Boston Children's Hospital, and the state of Massachusetts conspired to torture a girl in public view. I'm still struggling with how Mr. Gottesfeld both denies that he was behind the attack while describing in extensive detail to the Huffington Post how he did in fact launch the alleged attack.

I guess I'll have to count myself among the simpletons who fail to comprehend Mr. Gottesfeld's simple narrative. I honestly don't feel too bad about that, though. Apparently the two people who care most about Justina, i.e. her parents, don't seem to understand his narrative, either.
May I ask you kindly, to the extend you want to share, why having a new child caused such high level of stress? I mean, having two daughters, I can totally relate to sleep deprivation and everyday chores. But unless there is a medical emergency or financial distress, I am under the impression that most parents find enough joy to compensate for the stress? It's like we're onto drugs :-) Again, that's true only if the baby is in good health, which I wish you from the bottom of my heart

Is "Basic economy" the same for non US airlines? The new lowest/basic fare just means there is no checked baggage included, whereas the regular "economy" has 1 bag included.

Other than that I haven't noticed any difference such as special seating etc.

By the way, contrary to the popular belief, the "Pro" in the MacBook stands for "Prostate" not "Professional.
Random idea. What if, there was AirBnB equivalent endorsed by local city letting it control rules.

Currently AirBnB do some arbitrage based on regulations: change residential zoning to hotel one.

E.g. startup does infrastructure, but let city control what going on in exchange for enforcing rules. AirBnB seems easy to crack down as almost all listing are semi-public.
Well :) I work a lot in the UK and live close to many Brits and they (middle to high class people) whine a lot about the NHS. It being slow and crappy. Like said; no idea if that is true or not.
Thanks for the tip. How is its cross-platform consistency?
Isn't that just the general nature of human communication, though?

I mean, yeah, maybe one could argue about math, but even math (proofs, especially[1]) can get a bit fuzzy.

[1] Which one could argue are a prerequisite for true understanding of a mathematical concept.
I wouldn't know, but the folks on the picolisp mailing list on the website are very responsive and knowledgeable on design decisions. They are a small, but active community.
Student benefit is not 460e per month.

In Helsinki Metropolitan area is is

315e student aid + 200e housing aid ( + possibility for student priced housing and other student priced amenities)
Yeah, sounds like that wouldn't have been your fault if it had become a worse problem. Reminds me of that story I saw on HN a few years ago where the guy dropped a table of user details (by accidentally clicking on the wrong thing I think) on a live DB server for an online game and there were no backups. They had to re-enter the users' details based on what each user claimed they had in their account; it was a real mess and arguably not the person's fault.
PyPy is Python implemented largely in Python, and it supposedly is faster than python's C implementation.
It's hard. Also, there wouldn't have been Steve Jobs without that crazy and convoluted history. Getting fired from the company, then founding a new one then getting brought back?

People focus too much on the 'nasty' side of jobs, but it's easy to be nasty, and a lot of people do that, what's hard is having the other aspects that might be more subtle

in his biography (or most likely I read it somewhere else), the group that worked with him had a whole way of presenting things to him, that "made" him go for the best solution. It was a ruse, which he might have been aware or not, but it worked. And of course people were on their feet to present the best products

Jobs had a very finicky way of thinking about products, but I guess that created a dynamic in which other people that worked with him also stood for things that they believed in and that resulted in a balance of qualities that is lacking

Also Apple is not thinking about experience. When they took the floppy disks from the Macs I assume people were more than happy to see they go. Heck even display port has some advantages (you need one tiny interface to plug whatever kind of monitor you want).

Now we get a crapfest of different very similar cables with USB-C with different ports that look the same (charging/display/etc) and we killed an existing interface that for the most part works

And guess what Apple, your Keyboard and Mouse may be wireless and bluetooth but they still need an USB cable to be charged! Which cable comes with it? USB-A

I'm assume Steve would be testing the aerodynamic properties of the latest MB line, if you know what I mean
Yes, it does. Thanks to MVCC, TiDB supports the repeatable read isolation level which guarantees that any data read cannot change, if the transaction reads the same data again, it will find the previously read data in place, unchanged, and available to read.

So we can use any MySQL tools such as mysqldump or mydumper to backup the database consistently.

See the MVCC implementation here: https://pingcap.github.io/blog/2016/10/17/how-we-build-tidb/
>In 2014, the most recent year for which vehicle miles traveled data are available, the rate of crash deaths per 100 million miles traveled was 2.4 times higher in rural areas than in urban areas (1.81 in rural areas compared with 0.74 in urban areas).

So you're right, country driving is more dangerous than urban driving, but both are far more dangerous than flying on a per-mile basis.
I think Satya Nadella, his vision has turned Microsoft around completely from a dull company to a company with vision for the future.

> Also, most income earned by the top 1% of income earners is employment income; many professionals (doctors / dentists / engineers / lawyers / accountants) fall into that top 1% of incomes.

I am not American and I don't know if doctors and lawyers are usually considered 1 percenters, but Wikipedia says "Data on the minimum yearly income to be considered among the 1% vary per source, ranging from about $500,000 to $1.3 million."[1] It is my understanding that half a million dollar is not a common engineer or doctor income, I am not sure most income earned by 1 percenters is employment income.

We also had the same issues with (trying) to publish an extension to the Safari gallery: long waiting times, unclear communication, publishing without notification, etc. Besides that, the move towards the requirement of Xcode does not bode well for managing a multi-browser codebase in JS.

Google and to a lesser extent Mozilla are doing way better on this and seem way more experienced in handling the extension ecosystem.
Incorrect. Lifting cargo costs fuel which is one of the largest expenses in commercial aviation. If someone is willing to pay full fare for empty space, that's a great deal.
I would disagree, as I'm assuming those deaths include pedestrians, who are rarely present in inter-city travel.
Why You Should Hire a Professional Website Designer
Thanks. I do not know that one. Installing now.
> it makes sense for Apple to stop making WIFI devices

Only if Apple is looking not to innovate. Mesh networking has great potential to take off, especially if the software was integrated into iOS. One missing element from mesh is AAA, which Apple could definitely mediate.
According to this guide, yes.

It's interesting that it doesn't have a point of interest I added recently (on 13/Dec/2016).

I was assuming they would be using the same data as regular Maps.

Does anyone know more?
Many languages get support for monotonic clocks in their standard lib with support on various OS.

- In C, clock_gettime() (POSIX.1-2001)

- In C++11, chrono::steady_clock()

- In Python, time.monotonic()

- In Ruby, Process.clock_gettime()

- In Erlang, see OP

- In Java, you have System.nanoTime()

IMO, all languages should follow this trend as it is an essential component for many stuff. Those are not just for leap seconds, but the system clock can go backward due to a user action.

In the case of Go, the problem has been advertised since some time (Go started to internally use a monotonic clock in Go 1.3) but is/was just ignored because it is/was deemed unimportant.
Except Ghengis was around Millenia ago, if we all lived like him now, then we would be in pretty bad shape.

It seems taking more than our fair share has caused some pretty bad situations with regards to the environment, we can't keep operating just for ourselves for much longer.
What do you mean when you say "without hard-coding group selection"?

Are you saying the simulation is not valid unless collaboration between individuals arises as an emergent behavior?
I've done the same and it's a great way to go. If you stick with known components in known configurations, it's easy to get working. Relatively anyways.

So why are you telling the story with supermarkets and meat producers framed as actors? Looks like it's the consumers who have collectively made this decision, and companies have just been following their wishes.
But, but that Fallout screenshot on CNN was so convincing. :/
Why Node.js is cool (it's not about performance)
TextPattern was my favourite back when, even if it featured very awkward ideas (all content, styles, maintenance goes through their web interface to database -- good luck with unix tools to compare, diff and patch changes).

These days static content is the only valid answer in my books. I don't want to spend my nights worrying about rotting PHP/Ruby/NodeJS runtimes behind the scenes.
isn't it the same on any OS? :-/

you can install what you want on macOS and you can install what you want on Windows. Both have custom terminal apps
This is my first time showing work on HN and I'm a little nervous, but very excited!

I've been experimenting with making dynamic, interactive graph theory visualizations using Web Components. The goal was to be able to dynamically specify graphs whose nodes were ordinary HTML elements or Web Components, and draw their edges automatically.

I'm developing these web components to so that I can make blog posts about music theory, math and other such things. Let me know what you think!

P.S., it appears that Mozilla has unfortunately disabled Web Components in recent versions of Firefox (can anyone confirm this?), to the point where the shim doesn't even work. Bummer!

Your best bet is of course to use Chrome/Chromium. I have no clue about Safari. This is an experiment!
You cannot teach taste and vision. Apple giving up monitors is the clearest sign of that: it's the face of the computer, so much that novices confused it for the computer itself.

The Jobs-style answer was the all-in-one iMacs and the monitor-as-a-dock, a computer that wants to be seen. The Cook-style answer is to put somebody else's logo right on their product's display case. Madness.
Tensorflow does general computation using data flow graphs; you assemble your graph from operations and variables (tensors, as they're called these days), and Tensorflow handles distribution of this computation over hardware which you make available.

A quick google gives these [1] impressive results for Tensorflow, at least for linear algebra operations.

Despite the advantages, I think you'll find many more readily available functions in Numpy for what you want, while Tensorflow remains quite 'low level', exposing building block operations rather than higher-level methods (the exception is machine learning/neural network stuff). That said, I don't imagine it would be too difficult to implement a fast quadrature method for integration, or whatever else your heart might desire. This [2] is a simple example solving a PDE.

I totally agree with this but at the same time I'm annoyed with the current state of macOS and the Mac product line.

The Mac (and maybe the AirPort Extreme) are the only Apple products I really care about or depend on.

I'm holding on to my iPhone because Apple have a great strategy with regard to privacy and user rights but I'm not upgrading it because I'm pissed off about the Mac. Pathetic as that is, as a Mac user it's about the only small leverage available.

Sadly, I think Tim knows more about business than me. For every disgruntled, Unix loving, Mac user they loose they'll probably add 10 more iOS users for whom emoji are culturally interesting. :(
Nope you don't get to pass the buck to "the world has changed". Nothing has changed. Power users are still there needing the best machines they can get. Apple is the one that has changed to cater to the lowest common denominator, this is a lack of understanding.
Yeah, weird... I guess that since sessions are enabled by default, they didn't bother making it independent/explicitly requiring it
I've never really understood why people use Sketch. I recently worked on a project where I had asked for some basic vanilla templates of a mobile site from the designers and was sent a huge Sketch file. It was utterly useless and I had to code everything by hand myself, since the 'designers' very clearly had zero clue about HTML+CSS or any notion of responsiveness, thanks to apps like Sketch which teach nothing of the knowledge required to be a useful part of anyone's app/site building process.

Has others have pointed out - becoming a widget company was Jobs plan all along.

The true value of Steve Jobs is the reality distortion field. That's really was is missing here with the new Mac.

All the discutable decisions about the Mac that people complain about are just similar to the trends set under Jobs, the difference is that he would make the people believe that Apple was 100% behind the Mac. There would no need for Jobs to write twice in a month to employee and the press to say that Apple was committed to it.

I'm not sure what is missing exactly, but the MBP failed at delivery rather than feature. For example, did Apple really need to can all their Mac related accessories at the same time, building up a negative climate. They could have rebranded the LG monitor. Somehow give the people a hint that Apple is behind the USB-C, not just picking up and leave it up to the third party to sort out. (which is BTW what Apple has always really done, it just seemed handled better)

Apple strategy is to keep everything secret until they do a big delivery event. They are utterly bad at delivery since Jobs is gone, and the lengthy secrecy they keep around everything is now not building hype, just building apprehension.
The part where it works and millions of people use it.
IE8 is not supported, along with Windows XP.
I'm also on Linux and Firefox. Ubuntu 16.04. I don't remember if Flash came with FF or I installed it. Anyway it doesn't run unless I OK it.

'Argument' is what I meant. Not being a native English speaker my sentence was probably throwing you off guard!
Something like that just got passed through Icelandic Parliament under the guise of "normalizing retirement benefits". I'm assuming it will be litigated for years.

This seems to be a trend with apple, completely breaking the form follows function principle everywhere anyone can see.
I had the same prejudice about Fedora and RedHat back when I was a debian fanboy. But if you look at what Redhat is doing with their money and their company then you soon realize that Redhat Inc. not only IS a large part of the Linux community, but also supports the open source movement in many ways.

So Fedora has been my main distro of choice for a couple years now. I still hesitate to order RHEL licenses at work, unless the client specifically has a good argument for choosing RHEL I tend to lean them towards CentOS.

And I can speak from 12 years of professional sysadmin experience in BSD and Linux that yum or dnf is a very stable package manager.

I've had more issues on Debian 6,7,8 than I've ever had on CentOS or Fedora.
In retrospect it seems extremely hard to imagine how it could not have been a success, but the provincialism of American management had to be kept away in order for it to be a success for EA.

In an alternate history the license might have gone to one of the European developers like Sensible Soccer.
