Then again, I have yet to witness any laptop that is as quiet as a MBP. Every Windows laptop I've encountered, no matter if at university, at work or at home, had its fans spinning even at idle - while it takes a 2015 MBP to do a full recompile of all Macports packages to noticeably heat up, much less engage the fans.

It's a side effect of both Apples unibody aluminium cases which are way better at heat dissipation than any plastic based case and Apples extreme level of control - they can optimize every tiny chip as well as the OS to be as power efficient as humanly possible, which avoids creating heat to dissipate.

It's fair game to compare Windows laptops for their noise level but seriously, comparing anything with Apple for noise is unfair.
You know what I like? Sensible error messages, which you tend to lose if you use macros for anything complex (disclaimer: I am very guilty here)
When on Earth did anti science trolls take such a prominent role in HN? It's not hard for me to imagine a misinformation campaign run against HN, because I can't really understand how someone technical could countenance anti climate change ideas.
There's a component of this that screams for root cause analysis. And the answer is obvious (at least I think so): Terrorism.

Before 9/11 I could fly with a beefy swiss army knife in my carry-on. Even tools like screwdrivers. No issues whatsoever. I used to do a lot of flying with equipment within the US, back and forth to Europe and within Europe selling and supporting our hardware. For example, I've flown to London with a carry-on full of tools, soldering irons, FPGA dev board, DSO's, etc. No problems.

9/11 changed all of that in an instant. Now I have to take off my shoes and carrying a screwdriver set is unthinkable.

Why? These people changed our way of life. And I am not talking about the US only. This is a mess.

The Neanderthal part of my brain wants it simple: The roles ought to be reversed. We should be able to live exactly as we did and they, the bad guys, ought to be the ones living in fear of what we might do to them.

This requires an approach to dealing with the bad guys that is, well, Neanderthal, brutal. People in fear of the consequences of their actions think twice about doing stupid things.

Bush had an opportunity to go after the right people and create that "don't you ever dare fuck with us" mental shift. Instead, well, I won't go into it. Here we are.

Not sure how this problem is solved without violence. Maybe I haven't given it enough thought. We (the world) shouldn't have to live like this. This isn't just about being inconvenienced, this is about all sorts of abuses and about every single citizen of the world being treated like criminals with no justification whatsoever other than "what if".

Does someone have any good non-cave-man ideas?
The motherboard I have in mind is the ASUS m5a97 r2.0. Back in October, 2015 I got a PDF on that motherboard at

http://data.manualslib.com/pdf2/42/4150/414970-asus/m5a97_r2...

Just checking, the PDF does mention the Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI) but not ARC or PCH.

That ASUS manual does mention that the UEFI BIOS does offer automatic updating of the BIOS version; that feature, if enabled, does seem to raise security concerns.

Looking at the UEFI page of Wikipedia at

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unified_Extensible_Firmware_In...

there is

> UEFI can support remote diagnostics and repair of computers, even with no operating system installed.[3]

which seems to raise some security concerns. Also it does appear that some people trying to install an operating system might encounter some mud wrestling. Maybe what I'm intending to do with Microsoft's Windows 7, 10, and Server will be easy enough.

Thanks.
I've interviewed more than everybody else I know, and I always get great feedback on my interview technique, particularly when I hear from someone I know who works for the business. Not one of them has ever told me why I didn't get the job, with one exception.

One place I interviewed at, an educational institution, apparently had some very serious behind-the-scenes arguments and some hurt feelings between friends, because most of the interviewers wanted me for the job but one of the decision makers had already promised it to someone else. (Which is illegal, I might add.)

That's the closest I've been to "Here's why you didn't get the job..."

[edit] I'm not including the times someone's discriminated against me for daring to have a disability.
> Yeah, and this is an incredibly dangerous thing to do too, for both partners really. For the woman, she's basically giving up any hope of having a real career, ever, and consigning herself to being nothing more than a "housewife" for her best adult years. She'll never have a serious career after that. Worse, she's making herself entirely financially dependent on the man.

Absolutely true, but also absolutely the traditional and current norm.

> The whole setup is fraught with peril.

Yup, but that's why it's a commitment, it's risky for both parties but hugely beneficial if it works.

> Finally, what kind of woman has no career goals? Usually one with little or no education. Educated men usually aren't interested in such women, unless they're both highly conservative and religious.

Well about half the population is conservative, and about 80% of the population is religious, so that means the majority of men are interested in such women. This is hardly surprising as housewife is actually traditionally the norm, the notion of educated women earning money is rather new historically and isn't something society has really fully accepted yet.
I stopped watching TV on a TV twenty years ago, but I watch enough Netflix/YouTube and read enough frivolous social news (including some HN stories) to more than make up for it.
IMHO if reverse time travel were possible, we'd be up to our ears in tourists from the future already, so it's not.

However maybe forward time travel (faster than usual I mean) could be possible. But... how would it make any money? As soon as you've delivered the service, the deadbeat customer may not be back in town to pay his bill for decades or centuries! And 30-day jumps just seems silly.
You could always take a boat? Similar trade-offs to flying as driving.
I was so happy in grad school. Got my first real paying job when i was almost 30. It worked out well for me. I was damn slow to finish that damn diss, but now I'm on top of the world. :-) Everyone has a different path in life.
So A has to get rid of B, or make them irrelevant.
It sounds like you need a little more balance.

In the history of human interaction, has anyone said that and not then followed it up with something arrogant and dickish?

> I've gotten every job I've ever interviewed for that I really wanted

Of course you have. And the jobs you didn't get you later decided you must not have really wanted enough. I wonder how you would have felt about those jobs if you had gotten them.

We get it, you're a super impressive person. You can stop trying so hard to impress us now.
You are right - thanks for the correction. However, there is certainly a fiduciary duty to put the interests of the corporation above your personal interests as a high-level manager.
I am Jack's complete lack of surprise.
This is a great comment and shouldn't be downvoted.
I've had job searches that lasted 3+ months, and involved several hundred applications. Sometimes it just takes volume. A very talented friend had to take 190 coffee meetings to find his job.

When you are fresh out of school, you're hired for general human capital. It's many people chasing many jobs. The best people get many offers. When you're later in your career, it's more of a matching problem.

Net - hang in there!
Really? I had a very different experience. I mostly just used the official Phoenix docs and never touched ecto. It was a strictly optional thing I didn't need, so I didn't touch it.

I did look at some other tutorials and I don't recall ever having issues because I wasn't using ecto. Either they weren't using it or I got what I needed anyway.

This was probably about a year ago or so. Maybe things changed at some point?
It sounds to me like you're analyzing your job-hunting process like one would a sales funnel. You're probably thinking that if you put in enough into the top of the funnel, then you're bound to get a closed deal out of the bottom.

My recommendation would be to identify a handful of companies that you'd really want to work for and instead invest heavily in building relationships with people connected to those companies. Attend meetups at the company's office, reach out to employees on linkedin to chat, or find out who the hiring manager is and see if they'd be willing to speak with you over the phone.

During my limited time as a hiring manager, I've experienced the impact that a pre-existing relationship has on the hiring process. Even if I've only had a coffee or phone conversation with someone, they're almost always guaranteed a better shot at landing a job than if they apply cold.
How? B has all the power. It's easy to say "get rid of them" but how do you actually do it?
WhatsApp was the only reason I didn't buy a Firefox OS phone here in Brazil.
You need to have WhatsApp to get laid.
You can come up with reasons to justify anything, once you're motivated by ideology. Being "more technical" sadly really only means that the justifications you come up with are more technical-sounding.
I'm not 100% sure that this is what's being referred to, but in Ubuntu for example, the initial bootloader is a program called "shim". Microsoft signed shim - so computers with secureboot will run it.

Shim contains keys from Canonical or someone (I'm not sure), and verifies that GRUB has been signed by Canonical before running it. Then when GRUB runs the kernel, it calls back into shim first to verify the kernel has also been signed (Actually that last step wasn't enabled yet last time I checked).

So basically, until Microsoft changes their keys, by signing shim they've given Canonical permission to sign things. But unless you disable secureboot, you can't run a custom kernel unless you convince Canonical or Microsoft to sign it.
Those of us without private planes are the ones getting the cave man treatment..think about that.
Laws take years, even decades to change. We'd never have any progress if every technological advancement had to wait for the law to catch up and regulate it.
Modest car - Tesla non performance. Yeah, I'm kidding. 5 years ago I was looking for a diesel awd with decent mpg, which is not available :-) Unless you count those cars with fake emissions tests. I ended up with a tesla model s, the toy of my life. It's my favorite toy of all time, better than my rock climing shit I bought when i was in grad school and able to climb, better than all my computers except maybe my next machine. My one regret is not having more kids.
I was in exact same situation until a week ago. Indian, mid 30s, 4-past companies, 15+ interviews, 7+ onsites and only one went fine. On top of it, I was going through a layoff. I may be able to offer some insight. Lets talk over the weekend. Email in profile. (I am on engineering side)

Keep two things in mind
1) You are the interviewer's bitch. They can ask any and every question from your resume. And in product management, all questions are subjective.
2) Interview is not reflection of your on job performance, its a reflection of how much you can convince a new guy. You only have to convince one company unlike sales people who have to convince someone every single time.

But, looking at what you have written, my guess is that your leadership aspect is not showing up well. Atleast, thats what happened to me.
Applied !
If he cuts back on foreign intervention, this extraordinary emphasis on "rebuilding" our military (whatever that means given the relative size of our military) makes even less sense.

If you're hanging your hat on the idea that he'll be less interventionist, I'd ask you to consider the evidence mounting to the contrary.
What parts of Java are you thinking of? When I think of explicitness Java has but Python doesn't, types mostly come to mind, but Rust is already statically typed, so that can't be what you mean.

This has already been requested quite often, the Go team refused pretending it wasn't "readable". "readability" is their number one excuse to get away with not discussing a feature at first place.
Unfortunately I have but only one upvote to give. This is very important if you're performing a usability / ergonomics study. Context matters a great deal. The parent poster is also quite correct about it being invasive: although not absolutely necessary, ideally you'd observe the user in whatever context they happen to use Rust (e.g. at their workplace or in their home). Lab studies are still valuable too, but you might miss some context due to the artificial setting.
> What if those in Culture B face problems? Should they not ask for change? What if those in the culture are citizens? The idea that people can't ask or demand for things just because they are of a different culture is ridiculous.

Sure, they should absolutely ask for change. I think the point is that if Culture B wants to change the course of the nation to something that the currently dominant Culture A really doesn't like, it's not crazy for people of Culture A to not want to import a whole bunch more people who subscribe to Culture B and in the process give said culture way more power.
Work on your interview skills is my best guess.
It's amazing how compact that joystick is.

I wonder if the Joy-Cons will be changed out on people's systems more than controllers usually are. They're almost a fashion accessory in the tablet/portable mode.

Zelda: Breath of the Wild – Switch Docked vs. Undocked Comparison+Frame-Rate Test
The person who you replied to was speaking satirically.
And?

Mandatory spending is more than twice that of discretionary. Of discretionary, defense makes up less than 50%.
Ive never seen it stated better. Im probably gonna use that explanation in future if you dont mind.
The dock is pretty underwhelming from what I've seen. There is no protection for the screen, sliding in between two pieces of plastic. Pretty cheap, for a premium priced, and well engineered hybrid device, that will be taken in and out.

Semi-relevant. Breath of Wild looks like such a fantastic game, but it's completely ridiculous that the performance is often times WORSE in the docked mode. I'm hoping this is just crappy porting issues, and can be patched. But running only 900p, and getting 20fps shouldn't be tolerated.
This might be slightly off-topic, but if you like this type of teardown content, I highly recommend checking out AVE's channel on Youtube [1]. He does plenty of tool teardown's, things like drills, all types of heavy industrial gear, and some electronics thrown in. I find is fascinating, because you start to learn about the manufacturing process, why mechanical engineers choose specific materials, how they cut corners, and generally how things are made at low cost and high volume.

Here's some highlights:

Sad to see such a beautiful game marred by what we can only hope is a poor porting performance issues. Hopefully another patch is due.

Wow, the Nintendo Switch has a fan? It is amazing how thermals are such a limiting factor in today's devices. I remember that a browser dev increased the Nexus 5's benchmark score drastically by placing it on a bag of ice.
> Another proof that God exists.

No.

> A proof that God is there intending to be this way.

And no. Look believe whatever you like, that's your right, but random chance is in no way proof of God, not remotely. It's not a miracle some people live longer than others, it's just a normal distribution of lifespans, there's nothing miraculous or magical about it, it's simple math and large numbers. There are always going to be some people on the extremes who either die very young or very old. It's not even evidence of God, let alone proof.
Waze users are following the law when they get near Police officers. Uber users are continuing illegal behavior but obstructing police visibility. Uber's behavior is more like radar jamming or putting up a barrier in front of police.
I meant a sexist position that benefits men. Like someone being told that "girl, I never had any respect from men in my career, so don't expect any either" (this was not said from a manager to me, it was part of a conversation a woman I know had with her boss).
I showed up at Target at 4 am and was second in line. Some other poor soul had been there since 11 and out of the 50 units available there were probably 10 people at opening. Not sure if that suggests demand isn't that great or what.

It's hard to figure out. Check out the unit next to the Wii U tablet and the latter looks very much like a clunky cheap toy. Everything here seems well-designed (don't scratch your screen on the dock though), the joycons are very clever. I must admit tablet mode with them is just okay and they are undersized in every way compared to other controllers, but snapped onto the controller shell you forget it isn't just a regular controller. Very cool.

The hardware though? It makes me nervous. I get at $300 and what Nintendo was going for you don't have much of an alternative. Maybe I'm spoiled but 900p upscaled at 30 fps with drops when docked feels wrong in 2017. The game (BotW) is beautiful and controls wonderfully but the lag is noticeable at times for me and the lack of fluidity hurts the experience. Oddly enough playing at 720p undocked isn't slow at all and on the small screen looks great. I kind of drool at the thought of this upscaled to 4k at 60fps and that and it wouldn't be hard on modern hardware. Maybe a remaster or emulator?

It very much feels like a mobile device you can dock versus a home console you can take with you. Just not sure how much headroom is in the hardware to make this last for three or four years without major compromises.

Does anyone else have an impression?
Damn, if he doesn't trigger WWIII, I'll be happy.
USCIS is self-funded. They exist via the fees paid. To quote them[0]:

> USCIS is funded primarily by immigration and naturalization benefit fees charged to applicants and petitioners. Fees collected from individuals or organizations filing immigration benefit requests are deposited into the Immigration Examinations Fee Account (IEFA). Congress created the IEFA in 1988, establishing the authority to recover the full cost of immigration benefit processing. This account represents approximately 95 percent of USCIS’ fiscal year (FY) 2016 total budget authority. The remaining budget authority comes from two other mandatory fee accounts and appropriated funding for the E-Verify program.

>Out of all the branches of the space-time continuum, what's the chance that we are on the original one?

It could be the case that time resembles a directed acyclic graph. Traveling "back in time" merely creates a new branch at a point on the graph in the past where that event (the presence of the time traveler) occurs, marking a divergence from the "original" past, in which where there was no time traveler. But you can't ever actually revisit your own timeline, forming a loop.

And, since every quantum interaction would create a new node in which all possible outcomes of that interaction are new branches (many worlds theory,) the concept of an "original" timeline wouldn't even make sense.
