Linux on Mac Book Pro: Get paid for making it work
Are you able to hack on the Linux kernel to get the keyboard, touchpad and NVM SSD working?

And maybe other things that might turn up (i.e. power consumption, wifi support, ...)?

And can you also get your patches back into upstream so everyone can profit from your changes?

We might want to pay or hire you!

We, that is a small group forming on https://chat.ungleich.ch/ in the channel #foss. We like the apple hardware and want to move forward with Linux compatibility. For that reason we want to provide hackers with resources (aka money) to work on this matter and get Linux support on Apple to where it used to be in the early 2000s (awesome on PPC!).

If you are also an owner of one of the affected MacBook (12") or MacBook Pro (Late 2016) and want to contribute financially, just join our chat.

Note: this is a different approach from the bounty that is out there for fixing the keyboard. We are interested in long term Linux support on Apple.

Still reading? Want to support the project as a hacker or donor?
Join us on https://chat.ungleich.ch/ and let's get things working together!

Is "right click and copy url" trackable as well? Genuine question.
My theory: its state can be detected by touch alone and toggled without having to look at the device. This is very convenient when it's in one's pocket or bag, especially when it's already making noise.

There additional benefits: you get one additional hardware button (or in this case, switch) that can be remapped to other functions. iOS does this for the screen rotation lock, where it again pays off immensely: when the screen is already in an awkward rotation, not many people will want to poke around an on-screen menu to get the screen to re-orient.

>>> People pay us (Cloud SQL) and AWS (RDS) a surprising amount of money to run MySQL in a VM for them.

As a happy RDS user, I totally agree. Surely, I could run MySQL and the result would be mostly fine, after some mistakes and lessons learned. But all the things such as upgrading, etc still take time, add a bit of stress, one more thing to care about. Could that time and energy be spent on more valuable (from business point of view) activities? Yes.

I have regretted this decision.
On HN: yes.
In the real world: no.
I'm pretty athletic and fit but also have to fight through periods of depression. It would be interesting to know more about the mechanisms involved and if my otherwise healthy lifestyle could compensate for any negative effect. The study seem a bit light on details.

Deepgram is open sourcing Kur (http://kur.deepgram.com)! Kur is the worlds first descriptive Deep Learning software. Think of a model, describe it in a simple YAML or JSON file, and train to get state-of-the-art results. There's no need to code.

Why we built Kur: Prototyping DNNs is a slow process. Most people doing deep learning want to iterate and try out different model architectures and learn from others. It's hard to do this using barebones backends like TensorFlow/Theano or even the higher abstraction of software like Keras.

Kur is not speech specific. It can be used for images (we supply two examples), speech (we supply one example and DG is open sourcing a new audio dataset with it, the DEEPGRAM10), text, etc.

There are CNN layers, RNN, dense, dropout, batch norm, etc. to pick and choose from. The best part? Kur does all the plumbing! You want one input but two outputs? Not a problem, describe that model in Kur!

We're really pumped to be releasing Kur and would love to answer questions if you've got em.

Thanks!

> Personally, I've found small doses of LSD having better, longer lasting improvement and causing less side effects than antidepressants.

The first time you take an anti depressant your doctor will not recommend you a full dose. The first time you take a stimulant your doctor will not recommend you a full dose.

I know readers here sadly won't consult their doctor on LSD or marihuana. The first time you take LSD (or psilocybine mushroom, or marihuana), and the first time you take it within a long time, do not take a full dose.

Example: the first time I used psilocybine mushrooms I used 5 gram (out of a full dosage of 30 gram). I almost fell asleep due to it, in bath, and almost drowned, had it not been for the fact I put the tub only half full. I had no sitter either (that was my first stupidity - always get a sitter; a sober, mature person who watches over you and who preferably is an expert on the drug). (Legal disclaimer: I used this drug when it was still legal in my country. It no longer is. I don't recommend breaking the law.)

There are also much lighter drugs than either of these. Amanita muscaria (fly agaric), for example (the same still applies, small dosage first). However I don't recommend a random person to pluck this in the wild. You need to be trained in order to recognise them as there are deadly poisonous lookalikes luring.
Evernote’s New App Is More Than an Update – It’s a Reboot
I am just one of RethinkDB community. i am waiting to contribute donations to RethhinkDB when it have foundation up and running.

I don't think Rethinkdb.com is under control of the Current Leadership Team . But it would be very good idea to put the status updates in ReadMe. I will submit a PR on it.

Development is still continuing , but slowly. It is close to release 2.4, @atnnn and @srh is working on it.

Like others have mentioned, I found the time required quickly had me burning out & questioning the time investment. 5 - 10x the final length of the podcast seemed a good rule of thumb, even when you've managed to automate some of your process. For that reason, you might want to consider hiring someone to do your editing & uploading - the fresh pair of ears will probably help too.

Some of my time was spent being fussy about audio quality, but I still think it's important - I've unsubscribed from a lot of podcasts because the audio was unbearable. At the very least, learn a little about dynamics/compression, so that your podcast is a steady volume and not too loud or soft compared to others. Look at something like The Levelator [1] as a bare minimum.

Personally, I used iZotope RX [2] for noise reduction when necessary, and iZotope Ozone [3] for controlling dynamics and applying EQ. Ozone has a feature where you can analyze the EQ of a recording - say, Leo Laporte's TWIT podcasts - and apply that EQ curve to your own recording. That together with Ozone's dynamics compression helped get a much more professional sound.

Lastly: you might want to look at Christopher Hawkins book Record & Release [4] about every step of the podcasting process.

Information overload is killing our ability to make decisions
I read somewhere that high altitude seemed to be a factor in depression-type illnesses.

Is there any truth to that, or was it some spurious correlation?

I can't remember where I heard it, it might have been one of those books about spurious correlations.
the thing is, doctor will never ever recommend you this, even if it would instantly and permanently fix you. there is simply no proper long term research into this thanx to US gov war on drugs and doctors play it safe so nobody would sue them.

from personal experience - if all else is failing, do it with smaller doses first. it is a truly life-changing experience, even one time.
They send you daily mails with the best articles and describe their content and why you should read them. Articles can be 'liked', and very popular ones go into a weekly (monthly/yearly) Best Of.
Its certainly not uncurated.
Advocating a ternary structure isn't particularly insightful, and ternary trees aren't particularly efficient as data structures (they're to rebalance, etc).
I use [] only in certain spots for my scheme code. For binding variables in a let-block and for cond clauses.

(let ([a 5] [b 6]) (display a+b))

I find this easier to parse mentally, but I can see why one wouldn't do it, especially for cond clauses where you might end up having to actually browse parens to add or remove before or after the ].

I use paredit now, so there is really no need for me to do think about parens much at all, but old habits die hard.
CryptoJS is security theater, too. Doing crypto in JavaScript in a browser is never secure.

An application with a silent update mechanism has the same problem. An update mechanism that tells you its happening and waits for your approval does not.
But have anyone been able to convince the Android team of anything?

They are not even listening to the Linux team with their thousands of highly qualified developers and are essentially running their own fork of the kernel where everything has to be done The Google Way (TM).

Beyond the semantics, the meaningful difference to me lies in the targeting. This was targeted by a human and very specifically. It was also targeted at a business.

I see a big contrast between this and high-volume automated advertising sent to any email the sender could get his hands on. Even more so because business can benefit from such unsolicited email. Unsolicited email to consumers / personal mail is worse in my opinion.
No, if you break the signature, something (processor microcode or the IME boot block?) will notice, and the system will either not start, or shutdown after ~30min.

There is microcode-level integration between the IME and the system processor in an Intel system. It also involves the platform TPM (which could be an IME module), on systems where Intel SGX or Intel TXT is active.

OTOH, if the non-critical IME modules are missing, the system boots and goes on working just fine. Since the IME "partition table" is not signed, this allows you to remove the undesired modules such as Intel AMT.

It is actually possible for a system integrator/motherboard factory to request from Intel a minimal IME build that lacks AMT, you know.

It is also rather trivial to disable the (documented) IME path to the network: don't use the chipset-embedded ethernet MAC (as in midia access controller, not MAC address). That requires adding a full LOM NIC chip and taking up precious PCIe lanes, instead of just adding a (much cheaper) LOM PHY.
True or not, quite a lot of sites have said this and now no longer exist.

Same, felt dishonest and a bait to get me to signup.
I like the idea a lot, like the author wrote, he acknowledges there is still a lot of thinking to do but I like the consolidation of Executive positions into three buckets.

I think an executive mastering the customer machine, another the company machine and another the product machine, will allow each of these critical areas to sing. There will be conflicts and fight for resources sometimes but understanding you are all three silos that also come together to work for a greater good is a powerful motivator and I think can allow the company to see its mission more clearly. The idea needs to be fleshed out more but I applaud the direction

What is the legality of that? The IT-guy is probably violating his corporation's license with Microsoft, but does that affect you as buyer? I suspect that you may run afoul of anti-fencing laws in a lot of jurisdictions (where buying goods you can reasonably suspect are fenced is illegal as well).

This was an excellent reading. No surprise given the author.
I think there is a missing element about this in the post:

> Correctness. We made very strict guarantees, and fulfilled them religiously.

It is true that the user base did not recognize this as important as the RethinkDB team, also because there is part of the development community which is very biased towards this aspect of correctness, at the point that you literally never experienced a problem for years with a system, but then a blog post is released where the system is shown to be not correct under certain assumptions, and you run away. So part of the tech community started to be very biased about the importance of correctness. But 99% of the developers actually running things were not.

Correctness is indeed important, and most developers have indeed less interest that they should have in formal matters that have practical effects. However, I don't think this point can be simply reduced to developers ignorance, that make them just wanting the DB to be fast in micro benchmarks. Another problem is use cases: despite what top 1% people say, many folks have use cases where to be absolutely correct all the time is not as important as raw speed, so the reason they often don't care is that they often can actually avoid caring at all about correctness, as long as things kinda work, while they absolutely need to care about raw speed in order to take things up with a small amount of hardware.

BTW, I see mostly 6000-7000 sq ft lots, which is 1/6 or 1/7 of an acre. But how do you replace those with 3-8 story buildings? Those people have lived there for 20-30 years. Do you declare a housing crisis and evict them?
This is the article I read, which explains things quite clearly:

https://copperhead.co/android/docs/usage_guide

Basically ChatSecure is a nice clean XMPP client (turns out XMPP is not actually that scary, and choosing a network is no worse than choosing an e-mail provider), that supports OTR (and now OMEMO, which is much better). For Android, there's conversations.im, which was the first one to really support OMEMO.

Basically means you can choose your client, networks handle the messages, and it's up to the client each person is using to handle the crypto.
It seems like they changed their sync model. The client syncs with the email provider directly now instead of using their server. This is great.
I took a lot of notes on pen and paper during my studies, but after a decade of moving around (including different countries) I have none of them left. On the other hand, I still have the diary I typed on a Mac as kid in the early 90s. Today I frequently wish I had taken notes in some electronic form rather than on paper.

There is definitely a need for something like Standard Notes. I regularly look for electronic note taking solutions that I can trust to survive a lifetime (local files, no cloud, open format, etc.) with a modern feature set (embedded media, links, etc.), but have not found a solution that I'm happy with. For years I've been using TiddlyWiki[0], and while it has worked fine it is not perfect.

The goal of the medical system, as it currently stands, is explicitly and literally geared at making people feel cared for. Which is quite antagonistic to your above statement, which stems from utilitarian philosophy.
The consequences are simple: in the recent years, we have seen a huge push for "medical humanities" in medical education (aimed at perfecting the doctor-patient relationship). But for scientific medical education? Niet. Nada.
But people seem to like it that way...
This program looks promising. I have a few questions:

1)It is mentioned that it takes about 3-4 hours per week. Does this mean that the course covers not many concepts. Also are the projects like- this code is given. Add a few lines to make it run?

2)Can I submit files directly using my own laptop, or is using AWS compulsory?

3)Are these projects too - Make a network that generates songs and poems?

4)Can I get my resume reviewed by the experts like in the other nanodegrees?

It would be great if you could answer these questions. I am definitely thinking of joining this amazing course.
Haven't tried recently, but the only way to install RethinkDB on my machine (ubuntu) was running the docker image. Is it currently fixed again?
Hey!

Yes, prices are fixed at $10 for all images so that brands can budget easily.

This is something I may play around with at a later date but at the start I thought that flat-pricing would be the most straightforward option!

Also, if an image isn't available then BrandFox comments on the relevant image to let the Instagrammer know that someone wants to buy it. If they log in and click 'accept' then the brand gets the image and the Instagrammer gets their money :)
I think there is also a sense of trust, in terms of users worrying that they have clicked the right buttons in the UI to enable silent mode, if they get it wrong, a phone goes off at a very problematic time. With the hardware switch it is a very definite on/off silent mode.
