> A generation is what, 25 years? If you expect to replace all roads/electricity poles/sewers etc every 25 years you seriously need to look a quality. For this I feel this whole article is off.

Isn't that the typical depreciation schedule for infrastructural assets? I've seen some useful life tables used by accountants and 25 years seems to be a typical mark. Maybe 30 years, but rarely 50.

Dentists are very conservative. About 10 years ago we did some compassionate use studies of dissolvable drug metering systems that would cause bone regeneration -- so that an implant would attach to the jaw just the same as your original teeth did (actually new bone would grow around it). The X-rays were amazing and folks who'd been in pain for decades due to wobbly tooth implants, bridges etc were thrilled.

Company decided not to go ahead with clinical trials after doing market research on dentists in the US. Went ahead with a different drug for a different indication instead.
I think you could have skimming if people could mark the "moment" (20% into the content) that qualifies the content? And you could scroll through kind of like when you're flipping through radio stations.
There's not a lot interesting about "facts about numbers" when you place such a low upper bound on your achievements. If he'd only done this up to 100, he'd never have had trouble finding a solution for 10958. But why 11111? Why not 111111111111?

To me this is just as interesting as any other arbitrary list of permutations of symbols.
I grew up in the same town and strongly share your sentiments! I noticed Americans tend to be incredulous when I speak positively about it. Perhaps this is due to the obvious similarity to public housing layouts here and their negative associations, but also from a lack of appreciation (due to lack of first-hand experience of) the benefits that you mentioned above.

> I think this is one of the main drivers in favoring cheap and punishing quality.

The problem comes with evaluating quality. There are issues with over-valuing cheapness, but there are equally issues with using high-cost as an indicator of quality too.

The bag is literally two pockets, so it's up to you how to pack your laptop.

I put my MacBook Air in this case [0] (which also fits MBP) and then put the case in the bag. When I'm flying, I put the case in the "middle" of the bag and surround it with clothes on either side. This makes it easy to unzip the bag, pop the laptop out of the case for security screening, then put it right back in the case after security without disturbing the packed clothes.

> PCs are inherently upgradeable, but it seems like consumers would rather treat them as disposable electronic devices, judging by the success of barely-upgradeable Macs and other laptops.

Disposability is a side-effect of non-upgradeability - consumers don't explicitly want either of those, they just want a good product. And a good product can't be upgradeable.

I've carried a FAST Pack Litespeed from TAD Gear[1] almost everyday for the past 3 years. Before that I was mostly using various larger backpacks and a Timbuk2 messenger. The Litespeed has held up really nicely. I use it for both work and whenever I go hiking or camping. It nicely fits my MacBook Pro 13" and my daily things.

My main concerns with purchasing it were the price, I believe I paid $245 plus an additional $60 for the OP1 pouch[2] to go along with it, which I find quite expensive. Another concern was whether it would look too "tacticool" but I can say that in all black and without a bunch of patches all over it I think it just looks like a normal backpack. I was also originally concerned with the weight, its quite heavy empty, but after having used it for years I can say it isn't an issue at all. The padding on both the back area and the straps, combined with a design that seems to fit my body perfectly along with good adjustability, results in it being extremely conformable carrying even heavy loads (40-50lbs) over long periods of time (7-8 hours). Overall, its just a great backpack.

I've also used some of the larger Osprey[3] camping packs and those have been great too but are too big for my everyday needs.

GoRuck[4] and Mystery Ranch[5] make great packs as well.

I guess it really depends.

On projects where the level of commenting is low and theirs little to no documentation it can be tough.

For C projects as there's usually a single point of entry I just start with main() and read through the code to get a conceptual overview of what's happening. Often I find it useful to comment the code/write basic documentation as I go.

Then I often attempt small changes/refactoring to attempt to validate my understanding. Often I'll add code to dump intermediate data to better understand what's happening.

It can be quite a slow process in a large project to be honest, and it's a lot easier if you have the original developer available to ask questions.
I didn't until I discovered it wasn't enough to run pokemon go.
Just bought an Osprey Flapjack this week (https://www.amazon.com/Osprey-Mens-FlapJack-Backpack-Black/d...) and I'm very impressed. It's pretty compact, holds a laptop and a few notebooks very snugly, but still has various pockets for pens, chargers, wallet, phone, sunglasses and other small stuff.

As a Mainer I have been using LL Bean bags of various types all my life, and have several which are great, but they tend to be roomy "bookbags" and it made me nervous that my laptop and things were flopping back and forth in that big space. I'll still use the LL Bean bags for hiking, the gym, and so on.
Yep. The author, Appelbaum, is no longer with Tor after falling victim to one of the many successful culture-based attacks on privacy and free software groups in 2015/2016.
But unless clients or humans do anything in response to the extra OV information, or in response to a lack of the extra OV information, that information has no security value.

No browsers do anything with OV data unless humans manually take action to examine the certificate. So I'm comfortable saying they offer negligible security value.

Abrash handed over a lot of Valve IP and prototypes to Oculus (note: Gabe did not object) before himself joining Oculus. Oculus did their VC demos at Valve on Valve hardware. I think gabe was hoping that oculus would put all their games on Steam. Didn't work out that way :-)

Still, my comment was semi-flippant; Valve is no lawsuit monster and even if they were inclined to sue, they surely would have done so by now. But there were quite a few unhappy people at Valve about how that went down, and IMHO the Vive is in part a this-is-how-you-really-do-it fuck you to Oculus.

In any case I feel like this is simply an opportunistic deep-pocket-reaching lawsuit against FB.

PS: don't know why my original comment was downrated.
It's disturbing that many companies don't have humans to respond soon enough or don't have humans to reach out to at all. Machines can learn and get better at analyzing and classifying information, but it'll be a long time before a machine can pick up the phone to answer a customer's call with a proper conversation (with understanding and decisions based on arguments) or truly read and understand an email conversation back and forth and understand the entire context and allow for exceptions and more "appropriate" decisions like humans could (depending on the situation and the background).

Here is the absolute truth:

The human race is a brutal and tribal species. The capacity to do horrible things in the name of our own survival, rage, hatred, jealousy, and fear means that no society ever created by men can escape war.

It's also why those that have seen war and it's cost are the best among us to speak of its horrors. The little-known secret is that the USA's biggest doves work at the Pentagon.

I have more details, sourced from someone who is also a writer (as well as a retired special operator) and broke stories like this as part of his work as a journalist, but I'm not going to share those stories here. What was done to the bodies of our servicemen who died on that ridge would leave you speechless.

If it had been done to one of your family, you'd almost assuredly do the same to them.

Very few of us will ever encounter the brutal murder of one who is close to them. As much as I'd like to believe in the better nature of men, I'm also no fool to believe that vengeful rage will never enter their heart.

Once these men knew who they were dealing with, it was "eye for an eye." They cared little if it damned them to hell.

Dongles slapped on after the fact are a poor design. They ruin the ability to hold the device one handed, the ability to pocket the phone with the module attached, or add substantial bulk to cases that must be redesigned for every variant of phone.

USB is a decent electrical interconnect and API standard... But not a good cellphone mechanical modularity standard.
Instead of hedging their bets that way (software from hardware vendors almost always sucks) I wish they'd make themselves friendlier to other open source phones OS's, like ubuntu. Some of these OS's seem pretty nice, but the hardware side is always "buy a nexus and put this image on it".
Not really. They are both valid comparisons, since ARC is much easier to work with than manual management and can offer more predictable performance than GC. That said, it's also slower than manual management and can be trickier to work with than GC.

Possibly due to the placement of USB on most phones - at the bottom, where a drive would stick out awkwardly.

Also, MicroUSB on a lot of devices doesn't seem like the most robust port ever - I think it would eventually wear out with more than just the nightly plug/unplug for charging.
No doubt a substantial amount of that margin comes from the economies of scale where you only have a handful of SKUs with comparable sales to some of the PC manufacturers with many more SKUs combined.

I don't disagree. If debugging that sort of thing were intuitive, we'd all be coding in Prolog. It's like an invisible "if" hidden in every statement which branches elsewhere if there is no match. @(assert) can help; if you know that something that follows must match, you get an exception if it doesn't. I used asserts in the man page checker:

Sprawl is pretty easy to avoid when car ownership rates are as low as they were in the Soviet Union.
Depends on what your point is. Both ARC and GC are approaches to limit the complexity and difficulty of memory management. As such, I think it's very reasonable to compare them, because they're different approaches to the same underlying problem.

FWIW, as someone who was a Java programmer for over a decade before learning Objective C right after ARC came on the scene, I greatly prefer ARC over garbage collection. I find the things you have to remember to think about with both ARC and GC (e.g. circular references and unintentionally strongly reachable references) to be about the same cognitive load, but the deterministic, predictable behavior of ARC means you won't have to try to debug random GC hangs that only happen in prod under heavy load and the subsequent fiddling with a million GC options to get performance to be acceptable.

How much of that race to the bottom was driven by a handful of integrators like dell though? If they were on store shelves they might have other ways to increase profit margins. Spending $10 more on a better component is an easier decision than spending $100 on a packaged product that you don't know the internals of.
The article author Charles Marohn addresses this question in the comments section. His entire comment response:

"They are the ones with a very dominant urban core, where the urban fabric overwhelms the horizontal, auto-oriented stuff. I'm not saying these places won't struggle for the same reasons Lafayette will, but I suspect their decline/contraction will be less pronounced, less a defining characteristic.

NYC, Boston, San Francisco, Vancouver, maybe Chicago.... I'm not an expert on this scale of a place by any means so I could be very wrong but they don't seem to have the same underlying forces as a Lafayette (or even a Detroit or Memphis) where 80%+ of their infrastructure serves unproductive land use patterns. Might be 20-40% in these places."

As a result, it is legal for a person who is at least 21 years old to:

Possess two ounces or less of marijuana;
Transfer one ounce or less of marijuana to another person who is at least 21 years old, so long as there is no payment made or any other type of exchange of goods or services;

A person can still be arrested for:

Selling any amount of marijuana to another person;
Possessing more than two ounces of marijuana;

"Autofocus can be turned off if you don't like it."

Excepting some lenses themselves have one built-in that you cannot disable.

"There's no (electronic) "screen" involved when you're looking through the viewfinder of a good digital SLR"

Tell that to my Sony SLT which has... wait for it... an electronic viewfinder. Oh, and many people find that focusing manually using an EVF is easier than with an OVF because the EVF allows you to magnify an area to clearly see when the subject snaps into sharp focus (assuming no cruddy interpolation,) which is why DSLRs are coming with an electronic viewfinder.

"Every DSLR I've used lets you shoot in full manual mode. No sensors involved."

Is that including the sensor which is required to take the picture?

"I'm not sure what "video" has to do with it, since you can't take video on a (still) film SLR anyway."

What do you think is inside a Super-8 camera (which has still film modes?) The exact operating mechanisms, down to the split prism (well, some used a half-mirrored optic) that you would find in a typical SLR. Oh, and then there's this thing called rapid continuous shot (battery assisted, of course) where you can shoot up to 30 shots per second with my old camera, which means... wait for it... VIDEO SPEED PHOTOGRAPHY.
HN is better than most, but definitely.

Here are three egregious examples I have encountered:

1) OK, I'm not a Nazi (Bernie supporter, for what good that did), but Trump is probably right about 1% of the time. For example, NSA whistleblowers are speculating the russia email thing is intentionally blown out of proportion to justify funding for a new cold war (google Bill Binney). There is strong evidence (and lack of contradictory evidence) that the intelligence community's claims are bogus. Where is the tech-focused coverage of the opposing viewpoint?

2) Look for product reviews from companies without strong marketing budgets.

3) Friends have attended bay area talks with tech leaders. When broadcast, local stations give the impression the q+a is uncut, when it is in fact censored so that it supports the point of view of the speaker.

Town's have totally different economics. My town is fiscally solvent, takes are of it's infrastructure, and doesn't much raise taxes. And we are very spread out, with an average lot size of 2 acres. Small roads are the responsibility of the town. Bigger roads (there aren't many) are the responsibility of the county. I'll claim that the layout of the town doesn't matter nearly as much as the fiscal discipline of the town government.

As you scale from town to city, it is too easy for this discipline to break down. Whereas in my town, the town manager has to put up a pretty strong argument to justify hiring another employee or buying a piece of expensive equipment, in a medium to large city I, as a taxpayer, don't have any visibility let alone say, in any such expenditure.

Fiscal discipline comes mainly from individuals not wanting to spend their hard-earned money - unless going so is necessary to keep things in their current working order. Once these spending decisions are made by nameless bureaucrats, that personal discipline is lost.
