Wow, I just priced skylake Xeon's vs i7 and prices are very comparable (in some cases the Xeon is even cheaper). Current Xeon v. i7 was significantly different last year when I purchased.

I did check and it is still true that with laptops you always pay a premium for Xeon v Core on an equal performance basis (even within the same model).
Considering kirby:

admin interface can have many types of "fields" - wysiwyg is one of them (its not core but its popular)

html output - there is plugin that builds up html from whole site.

you could hook into the build and push whereever you want.

so with little setup it can be done with kirby. but same thing would be true for things like wordpress. iam sure there is wp plugin to export to html.

you could also simply use wget -m i had lot of luck with that
Thanks, I will look it up!
No. TypeScript's type system is intentionally unsound (it makes it easier to interop with JS and untyped code), which means they can't rely on types for efficiency.

I think a lot of what you are saying makes sense, but also at some age and family status (kids in schools etc) moving doesn't make sense any more, or has more downsides than one is trying to avoid.

Obviously one could have thought of this before marrying and putting kids in school in the town with one tech firm - but that doesn't make it any less a reality for a lot of people.

Saying "kids we have to move because dads colleagues refuse to do proper peer reviews" just doesn't taste right :)
Same in Norway, except the supermarkets sell the eggs cooled as well.
To expand on this:

Unions are an old-school idea. But unions won't work to protect iOS developers from Apple.

So why doesn't someone build up a brand, blog, or platform as a "developer's advocate"? A Twitter account, speaking on behalf of 100k followers, has leverage influence, and power. They can represent people, organize communities discussing developers' issues, and speak out with a single voice. Why does nobody do this? It's easier for Apple to ignore 100k individuals than for them to ignore 1 organization with 100k followers. The latter will get much wider media coverage.

Social media empowered mobs, why not use that for good?
Well gee they are working so hard so we shouldn't criticize obviously. Golly all that hard work, so nice that it exempts them from derision for their substandard product.
Here (Norway) they are usually white. Brown eggs are a little more expensive.
I've reviewed a lot of code. The three biggest things that help junior devs (really every dev) produce better quality code for code reviews are:

1. Use a linter. For example, eslint in JavaScript, and pycodestyle (formerly pep8) in Python.

2. Use an automated code quality service. Most have an open source free tier. The ones I know of are: Landscape, Codacy, and Code Climate. You can see a trivial example of their buttons (click through for reports) on my one-file repo here [1].

3. Read more advanced books to learn the more advanced patterns. Software engineering quality is mostly about using abstractions and paradigms well.

Also, keep in mind: Always aim to be consistent with the existing codebase even if it goes against your personal style or beliefs. Consistency makes it easier for a team to actively develop together. If your team has a style guide, know those conventions; if they don't, default to best practices per your framework / language.

Another thing you can do is read and study code written by very experienced devs. Think of things like your framework itself or the standard library of your language. You'll learn more advanced features there as well. There is plenty of role model code in the wild.

Cellular carriers haven't had a stranglehold on phone manufacturers since the iPhone came out. I don't think carriers are demanding features from Apple.

As far as Android, you can buy plenty of decent Android phones unlocked and just choose your carrier - as long as you don't choose one of the CDMA carriers. Not being able to use Sprint is no big loss. That just leaves Verizon.
Michael Kennedy mentioned on podcast that Dropbox is considering Python 3 with type hints. Pyston is Python 2 only and considerable effort would take to make it work for Python 3.

PyPy is not that bad as they describe it in incentives to start Pyston. PyPy now has cpyext and Python 3.5 support is funded by Mozilla.

Another reason is pluggable JIT to CPython such as Pyjion. This is already possible in Python 3.6.

Currently you can use Cython for hot spots in your CPython apps and even release GIL.
IronPython uses the Microsoft DLR, which uses a JIT, so it's definitely possible that it would work.
Yes to all of those?
No you are wrong, that's not how prices are set. Supply in urban centres is already below demand leading to bidding, setting the price by affordability.

We just had this in the UK. The government put up costs for landlords who all said rents would rise. They fell because people have less money due to inflation in other cost areas.
You can drive a German-registered car as a tourist who isn't resident in Denmark, but if you move to Denmark and become a resident (or already were resident), you must register the car in Denmark within 30 days of bringing it into the country [1].

But yes, some amount of this happens. The easiest case to get away with it is probably if you are actually from another EU country, and just keep it registered in your home country at a relative's address, and travel back occasionally to keep your license, insurance, and registration up to date. If you're Danish and have no foreign address, it would be more complicated to get it sorted out, especially with insurance, but I'm sure there are people who do it. Police attempt to crack down on it by looking for foreign-registered cars that seem to be parked too regularly in the same residential area (e.g. in front of a block of flats in Copenhagen). That's not illegal per se, since you might be a longer-term visitor, but they investigate these cases and catch some number each year.

Besides foreign-registered vehicles, the other most common evasion mechanism is probably agriculturally registered vehicles (which are exempt from tax). Hard to do if you have no connection to a farm at all, but in families where some of the family are genuinely farmers, the rest of the family who aren't will in some cases end up with all their vehicles registered at the farm.

I bought a used Nissan Leaf last month. No way I am EVER buying another non-electric car.

It's quiet.

It's got surprising torque for an economy car.

It's got a lot of room for a compact car. I'm 6'5" and gave plenty of head room, legroom, and vertical field of view.

Continue learning. There's nothing you can do right now to stop seniors from spotting problems in your code. That's completely normal. In the meantime, you can change your attitude. It's not supposed to make you feel frustrated or like a fraud. It's supposed to be both a quality gate and a learning experience. Any ego on either side of a code review makes it a worse experience.
what?

If we did this in the US it would be terrible for me. I still listen to the radio when I drive because I don't have unlimited data on my phone for streaming. My car is 16 years old so the radio doesn't support digital and it definitely isn't worth upgrading. So I'd often be driving in silence which, while not the end of the world, would suck.

My wife's car does have a digital radio, but on long trips around California there are often times when I can only get analog radio because they digital infrastructure just isn't there.

Perhaps a forced change would make them upgrade, but I suspect there would be a lot more dead zones (because at least at the current power levels, the analog versions of the stations reach much further).
When a government has 300 million+ people to represent, it needs to have very limited responsibilities and powers, because the common interests of so many people are very limited.

I'm not sure I agree with that. The common interests of people are basically the same - education, health, housing ...

There are over 80 million people in Germany. Not in the same league as the US, but still a huge country. And I don't think (obviously this is not data) that people here feel the government don't work for their interests. In a very small country like Ireland (where I'm actually from) the government seem to me to be much less 'representative' of the people, due to cronyism and corruption (see current Irish gov scandal expected to bring down the government within weeks - http://www.irishtimes.com/opinion/fintan-o-toole-the-maurice...)

In hindsight, I think that the M&A process of companies is actually correctly aligned with their true costs. For most big enterprise "tech" companies, their biggest operating expenses aren't technologists at all - it's sales commissions (stock options are as a rule terrible for engineers at every old hat tech company). So instead of paying $4.2MM to acquire a customer or two, you acquire a tech start-up that already has the customers and the product people are mostly cogs - the technology itself is an afterthought. For the few companies where engineers are compensated like the sales folks in enterprise tech (about $300k+ up) it is now cheaper to acquire technology faster than to pay for engineers in-house to develop it - market fit is not a big deal because the growth model is easy to scale with minimal sales staffing costs (a luxury in business through and through).

As for the question of whom pays for the negligence of M&As in the tech sector, it's mostly shareholders rather than the US taxpayer at least. With HP, IBM, and others laying off employees faster than Macy's and Sears the negative outlook is baked into Wall Street's prognosis of increasingly lowered expectations.

Myself, I just wish I could slightly tweak index funds to exclude specific tech companies I know are complete garbage long-term (similar to cable unbundling trends). I know Vanguard probably won't do it for me but maybe the transaction costs will be low enough that excluding the junk companies that literally only exist on an index for being big and being a market leader is a net win.

DLR is just dynamic runtime for dynamic languages, including IronPython, IronRuby, PowerShell, COM interop calls. JIT is for CLR runtime to compile IL byte-code.
My 1 gripe with vim adventures is the whole subscription based model for a game. I went ahead and shelled out for the full thing but after 6 months I was no longer allowed access because my subscription had expired. That's some bullshit.
doing dev in linux, the commands you run locally are the same ones you run in production. You install the same packages and control them in the same manner. I'm more comfortable in production because production is very similar to my local machine.

my dev machine is a VM, which gives me a ton of other benefits, like portability, resizability, backups, versioning, and overall stability. I can (and have) given devs my VM to get up and running immediately on a complex project, without having to do a lot of setup.

With each OSX update, usually stuff broke, needed to be reinstalled, or performed differently. With Linux, that is not the case. And with a linux VM, I can ride out host upgrades and keep plugging away with a machine i know works - or attempt an upgrade on a cloned VM and have a trivial way to backtrack if it fails.
If you ignore the whole hiring process then yes. Otherwise you'd simply email these recruiters back with you digital signature attached. They would use it to sign the hiring contract and you'd be able to start the next day :)

We all receive emails from recruiters, they make you feel unique and valuable but in reality you're just a piece of meat on the supply chain. There are jobs out there, a lot. But there are way more candidates applying than jobs at the moment.
I agree with you. It doesn't matter though.

I think we can all predict the future here pretty easily. The instant this went into affect if anyone ever tried to create a rule (assuming it's survived court challenges, etc.) Apple would simply demand from its suppliers that they give them chips that DO NOT have FM radios.

It's not like Apple is hiding GPS functionality from users will relying on it itself, it's just a little thing that happens to be tacked onto the silicon. If the government tries to force Apple to do something they don't want, they'll just choose to buy chips without it.

At that point you're where the Radio industry tried to be many years ago where instead of asking for the thing that's on the phone to be turned on, you're now trying to mandate features into the phone to protect your business model. That's a very very steep slope to get support for.

Consumers are free to vote with their wallets, this doesn't seem to be a big deal to many of them. I don't think there's a clear public interest in requiring it the way there was GPS functionality to help locate people calling 911 for emergencies.

Even if the groups got their way, there are so many ways for Apple and others to wiggle out of it that I don't see how this would ever work.
It probably won't, because most of that isn't predictable (by the interviewer) at interview time. It could make you more valuable in your current job, though.

to make website - you have to do some coding

I find autocomplete annoying.

I also suspect autocomplete to be the leading cause of a particular set of subtle bugs - ones where the words on the page seem right but the function chosen has a surprising and uncatered for side affect.

When you reinforce to people that it is OK to code blindly ahead, grasping for the right calls at the last second you will end up with poorer quality code (although, it may be typed faster).
If you're in the Visual Studio ecosystem, I enthusiasically recommend ViEmu. It let's you learn the vi keystrokes a little bit at a time, all the while being able to fall back to the VS keys when you don't know how to do something the vim way. It really flattens out the learning curve tremendously.
How about gerrit?

The file changing just from being looked at is one of the basic reasons that IB is bad. Apple made a grievous mistake in designing UI markup that is intended to be hidden from developers. Un-organizable, un-diffable toxic sludge.
It makes you think of the power of brands to coordinate human activity.
Right. He's simply expressing his own opinion without trying to force the law around it.

This isn't really any different from a police sergeant disagreeing publicly with something but saying he still going to enforce the existing laws around it or he doesn't think would be legal to make a law to cover it. For example, flag burning. Lots of people think it should be illegal, lots of people know that that would be unconstitutional.
Slightly off topic, but I'm curious if there's anyone on HN who "pivoted" into being a doctor. I'm started to be tempted by the idea and I'm flirting with going to med school part time while I work as an software dev.
Of course people want it, but can they have it? The world has yet to see a successful distributed block project.
I believe he's right Apple sold an actual radio tuner for earlier models before the 5th gen nano.
I have several close friends who are extremely ambitious women. By and large, they are too busy working 80+ hour weeks as surgical residents or profs trying to get tenure to spend any time dating. Those who are married met their partners earlier in life when they were less busy (my wife and I met while in school, for example) or through work (plenty of couples form during residency).
Not a RoR dev but I imagine his deployment environment is also linux, and many of the tools he uses likely run better on Linux (as OSS usually targets linux first). Correct me if I'm wrong but Docker for example, although I think they brought parity recently, was always easier to get going on Linux then Mac.

The product has been built for 6 months, and we've been pursuing customers, hiring and firing sales reps, it's been a very tough battle. We've signed up 10 real restaurants, that are able to process payments and orders/bookings, but our marketing efforts using Linkedin ads, facebook etc... are un-promising. Out of 1000 targeted visitors not one has converted to a booking. You can even make a booking WITHOUT an account, by checking out as a guest, still nothing. We need advice. What's wrong with the product? Why would or wouldn't you use it to find and book a unique/discounted meal at a local restaurant.

Now we need a tool that forces you to login to Facebook to track Google tracking. Or for kicks your yahoo account.
I guess you can only do this when you're not dependent on App Store income or you're big. Tencent has a top hit mobile game 皇者荣耀 that is only Android. They can afford due to China market. Both Facebook Messenger & WeChat has no integration to iOS 10 CallKit and Siri.
Sure. My point is more if it's good enough for Apple at their scale - I mean, Xcode itself is written in Objective-C with Xcode - and they're willing to work around it, then 25 developers (at time of viewing) in a GDocs sheet and a readme file will probably not be the straw that breaks this camel's back.
How much traffic are we talking about? Google Cloud Platform's load balancers (which sit outside of Kubernetes and are replicated geographically) are designed for quite a high load of traffic.

Either way, your client has to know what pod (group of Docker containers running your app) to send traffic to. The pods run on hosts and ports that aren't fixed in time. So if you want some kind of client-resolving load balancing without involving a central bottleneck on the server, you'd have to transport that inventory of pod-host-ports to the client, and then either provide a host-based proxy or open the ports on the nodes themselves. And of course you'd have to build the balancing/failover logic into the client (which would either have to be randomly distributed, or rely on resource utilization info fetched from Kubernetes).

That may be great for some narrow use cases, but for most applications, the load balancing pattern is much simpler.
> Obviously one could have thought of this before marrying and putting kids in school in the town with one tech firm

this was going to be my response, but then you said it yourself :)

The more intelligent and self-responsible act (which is hard, i know) would be to move to a better place before making extremely serious life choices such as marrying and having kids.
same goes for partner finding - don't marry a crazy partner and then say 'I married a crazy partner and now we have 2 mutual children. i cannot leave, i am stuck with this crazy person who is also the parent of my children.'

and i know it is hard to find a non-'crazy' employer and a non-'crazy' partner- but this should be your goal and target, shouldn't it ?

also, you get better as time goes by, even if you don't want to (as long as you are a bit intelligent) - bad companies/life partners will present themselves as red-flags on an interview/date . and it is your responsibility to detect those red flags .

iOS jailbreaking? Many useful tips and tricks
A combination of selfishness and outright bullshit. Have you ever noticed that the people who pour scorn on climate prediction and say it's all just playing with models and overactive imagination on the part of scientists are perfectly comfortable making dire economic predictions about the costs of mitigating climate change, despite economics' relative crudity? Have you ever seen an economic model that even aspires to the sophistication of climate models? Or economic metrics that were broken out to measure unemployment trends and glows of goods, labor and capital? such data exist but they're rarely more fine-grained than the state level and they're horribly crude because people feel an economic incentive to hoard that data for profit.

<ost of the so-called skeptics don't know any economics beyond basic things like how to find equilibrium pricing between supply and demand curves and some outdated macroeconomic myths, but they know that the majority of people don't get economics and can be easily scared with threats of recession. That's how we wound up with a President that claims climate change is a myth created by the Chinese to steal their jobs and a dominant party that's champing at the bit to sweep away any and all environmental regulation so they can make a quick buck.
