Also, there are apps that you use more often and apps that you use less often. By leaving the update to the app itself, you can basically make use of the update mechanism in proportion to how much you really need the app (you start it up, there is an update, you run it in 10-15s and you're done). You haven't used it in half a year, you open it, update to the most recent version, done.

With the appstore on the other hand, besides being horribly slow, it will always present you everything that is updateable, even if you only need that tool only 3-4 times a year. So I will always have to make that call per every app in the list, every time I open the updates panel.

So, the main joke is him having enough money to get poor people to execute on his silly whims and then laughing at them.

If we pretend that this is perfectly decent behaviour, how does throwing an anti-Semitic message into it add to the joke? For a lot of people, including myself, the answer to that question is "it doesn't".

As for the comment that you can include hateful comment without yourself expressing those opinions: this was no archive footage of Hitler delivering a speech. This was people holding up a sign with an anti-Semitic message because PewdiePie explicitly asked them to create a sign with an anti-Semitic message and record themselves holding it up.
Ahh, my bad.
Lambda via API gateway requires a lot of traffic to be fast. From what i've read, it's because of the SSL handshake between the Cloudfront POP (which all API Gateways use automatically) and Lambda. Only when you have a lot of traffic will enough SSL sessions be cached to get a good hit rate.

"People buying components NOW are exactly the sort of people AMD should be working their socks off to stop buying Intel parts."

Err, for the people that matter, they probably are.
I'm not sure why you would think otherwise.

Certainly you realize their large purchasers vastly dwarf people frequenting tech sites.

They 100% have done benchmarking/testing with, say, their top N chip purchasers, well before now, and already either have firm commitments to buy, or firm commitments to pass.
> there's a lot of hyperbole of what was discovered during the Vedic period

Where is the hyperbole? All I see is whitewashing of what was discovered during the Vedic period. If you need to understand what whitewashing means: Abrahamic texts/scriptures are classified as History but Hindu scriptures are classified as "Mythology". If this is not systematic whitewashing explain to me what is.

That's what I like about Blendle's model. I'm an infrequent user (< 1 article a month) but I probably spent more on Blendle than the cost of a subscription to any one of Blendle's sources.

Out of all the articles I read, I think I clicked the refund button maybe twice, and that was only because the article was truly terrible.

I can say with certainty that I wouldn't have bothered reading any of these paywalled articles if Blendle didn't exist.
I donate about $150 to Canonical any time I download Ubuntu - but I'm pretty sure this is a flawed approach.

After all, if I install a package, which depends on something which depends on something which depends on a library for left-padding strings, it's unlikely the library author sees a cent. And each of those levels doesn't just have developers - they have package maintainers, people doing bug triage, people maintaining test infrastructure - and the tools those people use.

Unfortunately I think this would be very difficult to resolve - as the problem of fairly distributing donations would have a very large political element.

Some companies are seeking cheap labor. Others are seeking talent that American engineers don't have (except the ones they do hire).
The paper mill near here has one of the larger power plants (biomass, burns waste wood) in the region. It uses more power than the nearby small towns combined.

The best way to get industrial consumers to switch is to drive down costs. We're certainly nowhere near 250 Megawatt-hour batteries being cheap and commonplace, but there are projects of that scale that have been announced (in particular I'm thinking of the Vanadium flow battery being installed in China).
Sort of related, I've _just_ notice my 6+ becomes noticeably sluggish of late. It did improve after making free space on the device as it only had Mb left.

It does seem strange though that it became this way more or less over night.
I didn't "set out" to find a "holy grail" and certainly not to overcome the Von Neumann architecture...ibGib in its current incarnation is just the current manifestation of my approach to address some of those concrete examples, mixed with my background like many of understanding and unifying things such as physics, maths, etc.

So, as I mentioned in the other reply (I even used the term "concrete"), I am currently just on a really cool note taking app. It's pretty much done(-ish) since it's totally usable, and I'm on now to a different concrete goal.

The other "practical situation" arose from ibGib's previous Android incarnation, which was basically two-fold: 1) Too expensive creating domain-targeted data structures (was using EF, but any relational-database would have the same issues). 2) Caching and cache invalidation.

IbGib is addressing both of these issues: 1) I now have an engine to create domain business objects without all the muck of having to "get it right" the first time. This is because it keeps track of the entire history of the process of creating the (class) data structure as well as the actual data implementing those structures. 2) As a corollary to this aspect, I now can update the client whenever any change occurs within an entire dependency graph, because both the data and the code-as-data are "indexed" by the ib^gib.

So caching in ibGib's current web app is basically about passing around "pointers", from what I understand this is very similar to how Docker handles layering hashes when building and rebuilding docker images.

Also, I can't avoid saying a meta use case, which is this thread that we're having right now. In a forum, you have a linear view and that's pretty much it. With ibGib, you can have truly branching threads, with a linear time view being just one projection of the content of those branches. So, say for example with Slack, they have a "thread" feature that they've just implemented. But it's only one thread. With ibGib, it's n-threads. The linear view is one of my issues that I'm going to be tackling next (along with notifications). But it's slow going, cuz it's just me ;-)

More anecdata because facts are sparse... My 15" late 2016 MBP will not properly wake from sleep when I use my Dell USB 3.0 dock. I need to test further but it may be more directly due to the monitor plugged into the dock.

EDIT: on the topic of the article, my battery life is great, the whole computer is great EXCEPT for having to keep activity monitor open to keep an eye on which GPU I'm using. the discrete GPU will burn through a whole charge in 3.5 hrs. Some apps will call for it without actually needing it, like reading a pdf in Adobe Acrobat. If I kill off any apps calling the dGPU, battery life is fine, albeit not exciting. I keep the full MS Office suite running, Google Earth Pro, a dozen or so tabs open. Frustrating but hoping it will be fixed on a software update.

> Moreover, Brazilian scientists and wood pulp producers are collaborating to test an innovative restoration model, in which fast-growing, economically valuable eucalyptus trees are interplanted with native species, and then the eucalyptus are logged for wood pulp after 6 to 7 years to offset initial planting costs (9). Early results suggest that the fast-growing eucalyptus forms a canopy that facilitates the establishment of a diverse suite of native tree seedlings in the understory; the native trees grow quickly after the eucalyptus trees are harvested. Other non-native, economically valuable species, such as pine, can facilitate native tree establishment in some tropical systems (15), suggesting this approach could be used more widely for forest landscape restoration.

So basically, they restore the ecology using immigrants ;)

Sorry, I have misunderstood as "this is what I would do." I suppose that's a process descended from the local legal framework, then - as you say, SSN is assigned after name, and the name has some flag meaning "temporary". I would assume there's some handling in place for that eventuality.

(I have seen a different protocol: state ID number is assigned after birth, parents choose name independently of the process, the two are only linked ex post)
If there was any contribution by any Arab then it should be attributed. Where did I say otherwise? All I was talking about was contribution by Hindu mathematicians which was not just appropriated (I'm not against this) but their contribution forgotten/neglected (which kinda pisses me off).

In fact, even in another Hackernews post about "Box Breathing" I made a similar comment: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13512908

I'm not against appropriation but, at the same time, I'm also against whitewashing. Does this make sense?
> Why are they unable to find a job?

>Are they less skilled and capable than a foreign worker? If so, then the foreign worker should get the job

Are you under the impression that organizations when hiring are looking to maximize skill and disregard all other factors?

once you reach 'good enough' skill level, its a cost minimization game.

If the American costs twice as much, but the foreign worker is good enough - who should get the job?

There's a few answers in the thread about how he basically revealed a troubling character attribute to his coworkers.

He acted as though he did not know or care what he did to upset them (evidenced by not apologising), and they now expect he is capable of acting the same way in other (professional and personal) situations.
So my two points are perhaps overlapping.

I don't want people to track me on the internet, I think the main reason they bother is that they can show me ads that will be more interesting to me and make them more money. I can resist this by not showing the adverts to myself.

I'd like to make it harder for them to track me at all, though this is always an arms war it seems like I'm labeling myself at the moment. I'm not familiar with the technology they use to detect adblockers, does it detect "U-Block Origin (Firefox) Ver 17.3" or does it just detect "I can't seem to see the ad I know should be here, this user is blocking my ads." if it's the latter then my proposal to adopt a blank/universal fingerprint is willing to confess the single bit of information of whether the user has decided to refuse adverts.
Do not mistake power efficiency for long battery life. Power efficiency doesn’t mean all tasks use little power and you will always have a long battery life. Apple’s power efficiency shines in idle mode. When you put light but constant strain on the machine, e.g. with IDEs and compile-on-save, battery life goes down quickly, no matter how efficient.

Choose wisely. A MacBook Pro (Mid 2014) still has roughly the same performance as a 2016 model but is much, much cheaper. I recommend you pick a used 2014 or 2015 model in good condition. Saves you a lot of money (> $1000).
This looks pretty cool.
I'm surrounded by millennials, and most of the pay for Spotify and Netflix, or share an account with family members.

Furthermore, while I'm not 'poor', I'm quite frugal, and yet I've spent quite a bit of money already on Blendle articles.

The biggest hurdle in my case was signing up and connecting my account to a payment system. But once that barrier was crossed, paying somewhere between 10 cents and 1 euro on a article became a (concerning) easy thing to do. I suspect I'm not alone in this.

From the article:

> They can’t be sure when this data disappeared (or if anyone backed it up first).

It probably means that is was deleted a few years ago, not during the last 25 days. Perhaps it was some internal reorganization and the data is hopefully available in other URL. Perhaps it was a disk failure and a bad backup. Perhaps the main researcher got a better job at an university and moved the whole group and the links/server just rotted. Perhaps some moron sysadmin decided to save a little of disk space. It looks ridiculous, but https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apollo_11_missing_tapes

There is no evidence of a concerted effort.

To get an idea of the problem, imagine that in 10 years someone decides to make a backup of all the ancient open source projects. And they are horrified to discover that 20% of the links go to SourceForge and there is a 5% of links with apparent relevant information to ExpertsExchange! After some time you get link rote, without an evil external force.

That's why I think it's important to make an organized effort to keep information alive, like the work of https://archive.org/ . I just don't agree to use a normal sloppy human behavior to support political activism.

The main joke, as explained by PewDiePie, was to "prove that the modern world is crazy and will do anything for 5 dollars". I don't think the point of it was to flaunt his riches on poor Indians, and as such I don't find it nearly as offensive as you do.

I agree the execution is a bit tasteless though. He could have done away with the nazi stuff without changing the premise.

I think these press releases, rumors, and leaks are doing exactly that. On the one hand, the manufacturing and sales channels are working for a target release date. On the other hand, the marketing team is dribbling out little details to delay customer's purchasing decisions. It seems kinda standard practice to me. The fact that you're sick of waiting (so am I!) is evidence that its working :)

Complex json parsing is kind of bad too in go - and rather surprising for a modern vm/go based language. (I guess they really tried to go for c/c++ with go but why vm/gc)

Google will probably fix these things with time though, or so I hope - at the moment go seems like a conflicted language.

if breathing this pesticide caused this how can it be safe to eat?

Because something going into your lungs and something going into your digestive system has two very different effects.

I'm not saying its good or healthy to eat pesticides, but that's a separate issue than "breathing it in is poisonous, so all forms of administration must be poisonous" isn't necessarily true. For example, your stomach acid often breaks down things.

Having said that, I am of the general opinion that we shouldn't be consuming pesticides.

Good point. I knew some people that moved to Delphi after VB5, which I always kicked myself for not doing. However, I look back at the apps I worked on and there was nothing there that that would look out of place today. Like any language, you can write messy code and design poor UI, but follow principles such as MVP, separate your data layer and such, it's still a good platform. Having said that, I'd not pick it for a new project today! I've fallen very hard for C#.
Oh yes it is. The rules syntax is nice and is a big improvement over regexps
that are popular with almost every other log parser out there, but the best
thing is that if your rules fail, liblognorm reports precisely what part of
the log could not be consumed, not just the fact that none of the rules
matched.

Liblognorm has only one major user: rsyslog, for which it was written, but at
some point I thought that it would be nice to have a separate daemon that only
parses logs, so I wrote logdevourer (https://github.com/korbank/logdevourer).

In 500 years the fuel will have decayed to near-harmlessness. It'd still be a toxic heavy metal, so you don't want to eat it, but simply standing next to it isn't going to kill you.

There's also the little detail that we're using the least efficient fuel cycle imaginable. More efficient ones, e.g. involving breeder reactors, wouldn't produce nearly as much waste.

I remember starting a project for a Telco in C# before .Net was officially released. It was riddled with issues, but it made it easy to use COM+ as a means to hot swap 'plugins' to the core of the application. This allowed us to distribute one application, and have a configuration dynamically load which modules a user would need based on their role. The web wasn't very capable 15+ years ago, and this allowed for a single base to be maintained and yet shared modules to cut down on repetitive coding. You could do this with COM+ already, but manually working with IQueryInterface over a simple reflections added more complexity than was worth it. And when you needed to, you could easily make calls to the Windows API, so you could still do code injection to get past the parts when the language didn't support yet. And DLL hell was no longer so prevalent. I was told somewhat recently that it's still running in some capacity, which I'm glad of, because I remember stressing over how irresponsible it was to use an untested language and platform for such a project.
This sounds familiar. Mono worked for me until it didn't. And it would be some corner case like timing and sockes, or HTTP connection issues. By that time we already bought into it and so I was running around opening a huge black box trying to figure out the internals.

SJS is triggered by paracetamol & Acetaminophen [1] & antibiotics, among other drugs. It appears that one needs a complex set of conditions, which can occur with many drugs (including Modnafil & commonly used pain relievers, etc.).

Note that I am not endorsing (or challenging) the use of the drug to enhance cognition. I just want to understand what evidence there is suggesting a higher rate of incidence with modnafil as compared to sulpha drugs & analgesics.

Literature survey in Pubmed reveals fairly few reports [e.g: 2], describing only a handful of cases.

If the argument is: the risk of SJS is not worth the likely benefits in improved cognition, I understand. But I am not convinced if there is compelling evidence linking modnafil with SJS.
