Did you maybe mean anti-us nature of US foreign policy?
China is very interested in appearing successful. My impression is that they focus on this appearance (building large public projects, making internationally-tracked numbers go up) more than on the human costs involved.
I've found it interesting that in the press recently, you will usually find some discussion about privacy concerns regarding companies like Facebook/Google, but I very rarely see any mention of the privacy implications of credit card companies and credit bureaus selling customer data.

I'm admittedly not well informed on the subject but I assume this has been going on for decades, are there any consumer privacy laws around this? While I find Google data collection activities worrisome, I at least have some faith in their technical ability to keep that data safe. And unless I'm mistaken Google only sells targeted access but not the actual data which is what the credit card companies and bureaus do.
There's a bit of cognitive dissonance in your claims.

America's prestige was destroyed by none other than George W. Bush, Dick Cheney, Donald Rumsfeld, Paul Bremmer, Rupert Murdoch, Colin Powell, Condoleeza Rice and several others, for a number of reasons, but most of all the 2003 invasion of Iraq, from which you can draw a straight line to ISIS.

How you "connect the dots" and manage to wander your way from Manning and land on Trump is beyond me. How you digress from WikiLeaks to Trump is curious.

Political influence may have elected Trump, but cones of silence, echo chambers and hacker mudslinging isn't really what got Trump elected.

Republican incompetence permitted his candidacy in the first place. Republican spite invoking a broad mistrust among suburbanites and rural America put him in office. If the people who voted Trump, are so easily deceived by falsified evidence and dubious non-journalism, then they were stupid enough to be deceived by anything, but wanted to be spiteful and hate something, and would have found something dubious to latch onto and excuse their shitty vote anyway.
This is something I simply cannot agree with. People are using ROBOTS.TXT for all kinds of reasons, such as blocking unwanted careless webcrawler or indexing single page application. I mean come on. How can you say something like that just because eliminating ROBOTS.TXT would potentially benefit your business.
Ones OEM/OEM shouldn't really be a secret, but that's just how I think. Thanks for the links.
Are telecommunications and flight fundamental needs? Humans lived for hundreds of thousands of years without them. Yet I agree that they are infrastructure. On the other hand, humans have not lived for hundreds of thousands of years without food, yet I would consider McDonalds a service.

Personally, I think the distinction is in how it is provided. The copper/fibre line to your home is what AT&T has to bring to the table. JetBlue brings their fancy flying machine. The water treatment plant has their water treatment system. While people are certainly involved in the process, the defining feature of these businesses are related to the machines/technology that they possess.

On the other hand, McDonalds certainly has a kitchen, but so does everyone else. They are literally found in almost every home. What McDonalds, and restaurants in general, bring to the table is a person willing to do the cooking and other related activities for you. Because the defining feature is related to human labour (for now, at least), these are services.
Au contraire. Guile avoids the locks currently Emacs has.
I realized too late for editing it in, but I do want to add that I do not think it is solely pushed by people encouraging this. I honestly think that most proponents of this are incredibly well intentioned.

Which just highlights, to me, that semver is ultimately good intentions masqueraded as a mechanism.
Normal people in Gaza have little choice with current fascist "government" which eliminates opposition in a literal way. So "elected" is a strong word for it.

I was programming in Python in 1996 and struggled to find anyone to pay me to work in it. Meanwhile it's now 2017 and it's only now a fully mainstream language for the last 5 years or so.

It takes a while.

(I lost interest in Python in early 2000s, and then it got popular. So if I lose interest in Rust it's bound to get popular.)
Well, the internet is one tremendous piece of infrastructure, but that's not just it. Moore's law and the growth in computing power, the solid state of research universities around the world etc. is all contributing to the growing corpus of knowledge, fueling innovation.

Now, growth like what America saw post WW2 was definetly a one off thing: the rest of the world was in ruins, and there was great demand for manufactured goods and services from Western Europe and the rest of the world. Today, many more countries are stable and have the infrastructure to manufacture and provide goods and services. So its quite unreasonable to expect that kind of growth anymore in the US.

Where the US has excelled is in innovation and first comer advantage. e.g. Advanced computing systems, electronics manufacturing, automation, advanced weapon systems, space exploration etc. So, as the rest of the world catches up, the US economy moves on to create new markets where they have the first mover advantage. The only way to make this happen is through innovation.
Ground was broken on January 6, 2015, but perhaps your point is still valid.

Of course they would think it's dumb because some of robots.txt rules are counter to their objective which is to save the internet in all its glory. They shouldn't use robots.txt I agree. At the same time robots.txt is not worthless.

SEO is where robots.txt shines right now. It's not that people are trying to hide something it's because we don't want it to conflict with the content we actually want to promote.

There is no reason to whitewash Hamas. They are point blank fascists. If you claim they are "elected", then you claim that majority there supports fascist regime.
That's not just a problem in your location but a lot of other places. Many municipalities and some states in the US made unsustainable promises to their employees in forms future salaries (pensions). Except instead of doing 80% today, they are doing 80% in the future.
I agree. There is simply a lot of inertia on Windows heavy game development. Unfortunately, Windows will be needed for a long time for classic titles that probably wont be officially ported. Browsing through the list of top played Linux titles I am surprised by the many games I own that have since been ported, but I still see mostly indie titles. Until the really 'AAA' devs like Activision, EA, Ubisoft make changes I don't anticipate a n OS shift for the enthusiast crowd.
I have a hackintosh as my main computer. It works ok. Graphics drivers are sometimes a pain/ buggy. iMessages doesn't work unless you want to do a lot of work.

However it is faster/more expandable than most macs available today.
They include it because people use it. I actually disable my trackpad on my thinkpad, and only use the trackpoint. (So does Randall according to that link). Thinkpad keyboard is in my opinion better than the apple keyboard.

> wifi drivers are always an issue

I keep hearing this, but I've never had an issue (Arch, Macbook Air 2013).

On the contrary, I have endless problems in macOS with WiFi where some networks won't work if I don't specify a DNS (I use Google's, but I assume that doesn't make a difference) - and others won't work if I do! (Meanwhile, other devices are fine doing the opposite.)
My point is that much of Gaza's population did NOT vote for Hamas. Why wouldn't you want to support THOSE people?
Ideally, with more of us on Linux, things will improve. If vast swaths moved over at once, we might even get Adobe tools.

I've been on Ubuntu for nearly a decade, so I barely notice many issues any more, but you're absolutely right. It's a long way away from wonderful.

Obviously, I'm just used to it; I wait 2-3 months before upgrading to the latest releases because having three monitors has _always_ been a headache for me when upgrading any sooner. That's my new normal.

That said, I rarely have any issues that make me lose time. I might have to spend 5 minutes googling around before buying things like web cameras to ensure compatibility, but otherwise, everything tends to be stable. My desktop stays running for months at a time without complaints.

The next step would be to go beyond stable and make the platform a joy to use. I want to be able to plug in some of these fun toys like multi-touch pads and high dpi screens and have them work just as well as they do on other platforms. The journey to that ideal is far longer on Linux. But it remains free, hackable, solid, and powerful. And the more people using the system, the faster progress will come.

I remain hopeful and patient.
That's a reasonable frustration, but I haven't seen anyone complaining that pc manufacturers still ship trackpoints. That's not to say that any pc comes close to Apple's trackpads though.

Most people switching, however, are annoyed by the absence of visual polish everywhere (hardware and software) and the lack of robustness compared to Apple laptops, which you can literally walk on or drop in your bag without paying attention to what else is next to it. Except for mil-spec laptops and thick toughbooks, I wouldn't do this with any computer.

Apart from console apps, there is no unified visual language on Linux, and most desktop application developers do not expect to make as much money as with mac or Windows. This often results in apps that just "get the job done", without much extra polish, but sometimes a LOT of extra features, which can actually confuse users. The best advantage of most Linux software is to be open source, which is unfortunately something 99% of people couldn't care less about.

I'm a day to day Linux user, and I couldn't be happier to have switched back from osx (2004-2016), but the switch is clearly not for everyone yet.
Atril works well.

Atril is what Evince used to be before it regressed in usability.
I'm in a similar boat. I'm replacing my 2013 13" Pro with a new XPS 13. It just came yesterday so I can't really review it at this point, but I'm impressed so far.
I always wondered if someone could do this for households. Provide a way for people to find everyone with lawn needing mowing, or with a picket fence that would need regular painting, or with a tile roof, or a hedge to trim, or driveway needing repair.
> No user, never, cared about the programming paradigm.

This is an old straw man. No one is trying to sell the language to users, but rather to developers; and developers look for toolchains that let them deliver features to users.

For small data volumes, MongoDB Inc. will actually back things up for you for $2.50/GB/mo storage (free bandwidth), and it's a live backup with multiple historical versions (an agent on your database machine tails the oplog, so you're at most a couple seconds out of date). And their free monitoring tier is great alongside it. I'm truly surprised that they don't sell it harder; it took me years of using Mongo before I knew this service existed.

All those things do help, but a carpenter can do the same job with an axe, a saw, a chisel, a knife, or a froe but in the end what they are doing is cutting wood. If you're a programmer and you don't look at languages as a tool you are doing yourself a disservice. In the end you just need something to turn some data into a different kind of data, everything else is a tool to do that one thing.

No one outside of trendy Bay Area tech startups respect the 'headphones = DND' social guideline. Open offices suck for this reason because people just take it as open season to come up to your desk whenever they want to ask a question. I'm forever interrupted by this, not just the movement around me in my peripheral vision and the noise (particularly social converstions in the hall behind me near the printer).
I think something like this exists, but you still need a Mac because you still need Xcode to sign and publish afaik.

Any reason you aren't running Linux on the laptop?

Also, you might want to look into a used Macbook Pro. As you have seen, they can last for awhile and parts (like batteries) are usually easy to source even years after they've been discontinued. FYI, they stopped using the PowerBook naming in 2006.
The point is that tracking systems are often embedded in hardware.
I knew a real estate investor who was really successful who's motto was the best investments are those in the worst areas that most people wouldn't touch. Large trailer parks with high vacancy rates, run down neighborhoods, etc.

We don't live in Detroit but bought 3 properties for 40k each with about 18-20% yields. The renters aren't the best (they're paying 800 in rent because they can't afford an 8k downpayment), but they're great investments.
Ask HN: What's a good developer's resume look like?
I'm a newly self taught full stack web developer. My background is graphic design and marketing.

WTF do I put on my resume? Anyone have advice for writing a technical resume? Any examples of great resume's to share?

Thanks!
Do not be so hasty to judge. For me I still have plenty of energy and ability to enjoy things. I just get distracted more easily and am less likely to achieve my goals for the day, but it in no way magically transforms common chores. If someone really has ADHD Adderall works differently than in most people. Also Adderall at therapeutic doses is very easy to halt for me. Also many adult users leave 2-3 day gaps to give their brain time to replenish dopamine stores, etc.

Why I switched from OS-X to Linux: 1. tensorflow with GPU acceleration only works on Linux.
2. Mac Pro is silly expensive and old, HP z440 with Haswell 8core xeon + much better GPU cost me much less than the entry level Mac Pro
3. I can reboot into Windows and play games (on a good GPU)

I realised I liked consistency of keyboard shortcuts and replaced my work MBP15 with a X1 carbo nand realised how crazy heavy the MBP is.

I too use TL-WA801's and I find them Ok. A couple of things I would check for.

- Assuming you are running 2.4GHz, check for interfering devices, for example, microwave running at the time of slow speeds. Offending ovens could be in an adjoining unit or home. I find some BlueTooth devices can also cause sporadic interference. Cordless phones, less so, but also possible.

- Run speedtest.net when performance is good and when it is bad. This will give you a sense of the underlying internet speeds you are accessing via your router.

- Are the different channels 5 channels apart? I would use 1 and 11 if possible.

- Are the A/Ps configured for different SSIDs? I find it easier to diagnose things when they are different. Check that your device isn't connecting the the weaker WiFi access point.

- Do you use DHCP on both A/Ps? I would configure each to a different subnet, e.g. 192.168.11.0/24 and 192.168.22.0/24 and yet another subnet for the router.

- Do you have a system plugged into an ethernet port on the back of the router? I suggest that you do and do some comparison testing from there to rule out issues with WiFi. Especially speedtest.net when the WiFi connected devices are experiencing slowdowns.

- If possible do a WiFi signal check, I like WiFi Analyzer (Android app). You want to stay away from misconfigured channels. See my other post in relation to this HN topic.

- Double check that the WiFi is disabled on your router, just in case a power cycle has rest it back to default configuration.

- In my experience the router is rarely the problem, especially if you have disabled the rather low grade WiFi that particular model has. It is also possible the your internet service provider has some under-provisioned equipment somewhere along the line. In some rapidly growing areas, DSLAMs are connected to low capacity backbone connections or MLPS switches. You might want to check what other users of your internet service provider are experiencing.
Before switching to Mac, I admired Omni Group software. Now after so many years on Mac, I don't use them, I use others. But I agree with you, if your intent was to emphasize how good this software is.

Main reason why I didn't use it, I don't want to be tied only to Mac platform. From this perspective, it was a good hunch. I have android phone, omni focus is not available, others are.
Even though this article is about data on Chinese citizens, I kinda wonder if the Chinese government doesn't keep a big database of what American folks are doing, too.

You can use Wine perfectly well on Mac, as far as I'm aware. I have used PlayOnMac (a wrapper of Wine) for Artemis Bridge Simulator and it works great. Though Wine is used more often on Linux, I think, so it may be more stable.
There may still be a few routines that expect C-ordered arrays and so require a copy be made when given a Fortran-ordered array --- especially as you extend to one of libraries that use NumPy. For the most, part, however, Fortran-ordered arrays should work well. It all comes down to the expectation of the routine writer.
Just wanted to share my personal experience with Linux. I recently got a new laptop and was very salty about it because it came with SecureBoot on and Windows 10. However, with the help of some people on the Internet, I managed to figure out how to turn off SecureBoot and install Ubuntu on it. I tried various Linuxes and always keep going back to Ubuntu, might be the familiarity of it. I like Mint as well, but I miss the Unity desktop, heh. Anyways, I'm currently on Windows 10 again, but I keep switching to Linux and back to Windows because Windows bothers me, and I think soon enough I will permanently break free from the shackles of Microsoft and use Linux full time. Currently what bothers me most is that the mouse pointer is fiddly and requires some terminal commands to fix but it never "just works" as on Windows. I have a weird USB Wireless mouse, and it's old and becoming broken slowly, so I think I might fix it with a new mouse. On Linux, my most used feature is SSH, because being able to remotely control a computer with text (on a 1Mbps upload connection, RDP is too slow to use), from a phone or a laptop over 3G or something, it's amazing. And I often forget a file on my computer when I'm working on a laptop, and I can just SSH into it and transfer it with FileZilla or HTTP or whatever. It's nice. I have become much more grateful for open source and Linux in general, and much less angry and entitled. Bit rambly but it's 5AM I don't even know what I wrote...
