I don't know where you live that you have that much space. My personal rule is don't swerve. If you don't have time to signal that you are going to move, or look to make sure other traffic is not in the way, then either brake hard or continue straight (with the obvious exception if not swerving causes you to hit another person).

There are just too many roads where you can't swerve without causing a head on collision. If you make it a reflex to swerve, then you will also do it when there is no space for other traffic to avoid you.
MacOS is at a standstill in terms of usability, but I feel that windows 10 has gone back.

Microsoft has chosen to focus on enterprise. This is probably the right move for their culture and the future of the company, but the remainder of their consumer products seem to be turning into an ad-supported model heavily focused on legacy support.

Windows may have a new coat of paint, but the underlying OS just gets more buried under more and more simplified UIs which ironically make its harder to use.

This is really desktop linux's time to shine, but it's usability is still sporadic.
How do tech conferences and meetup groups work without a sea of macs?

But, it might be better to say HN is a tech bubble, because everywhere in the world that I've been people who work on web tech use macs, for most of us the job would be almost impossible without a *nix OS.

And this post was written (somewhat regretfully) from a Mac in Aotearoa/New Zealand, where non mac laptops are somewhat rare in the tech community (and are then usually Linux rather than Windows).
Sometimes MacOs reminds me of those times when Explorer could stop working:

- If I have sublimetext maximized on other display, my mouse cursor gets stuck at default pointer, no longer changing on context.

- If I have same sublimetext maximized on other virtual screen, my mouse cursor stucks in text select.

- Option to reorder icons in dock via drag and drop goes away randomly.

- When I plug display to my MBPro 2016, menubar has white square where tray goes.

- It gets stuck in boot -> kernel panic -> restart -> boot loop when I am starting it with display plugged in via their HDMI dongle.

- On random, finder stops showing changes in filesystem. I've had this happen to me in Mavericks on old laptop, it keeps happening in Sierra on new one.

> I wont buy a laptop without a magsafe or similar connection

Not a big deal nowadays, my mid-2014 Thinkpad has a similar connection (it won't ever drag the laptop when pulled), I'd think most laptops should have such connectors by now, "mag-safe" or other?
Depending on what you mean by support, when one of my youtube videos was falsely copyright claimed, I disputed it and the claim was removed. When another video was falsely flagged as violating a rule, I disputed it and the flag was removed. When someone started repeatedly stealing my videos and uploading them to their own channels, I reported them for copyright infringement, and the first time it took 1 day to be taken down, subsequent claims only took 30 minutes for the takedown.
My mother-in-law recently asked me for help with fixing her higher-level Asus laptop. It run Windows 7 and had enormous amount of malware. So I've spent a few days (incl. yesterday and today) cleaning it and upgrading to Windows 10. To say it was an awful experience is to say nothing. Rare thing works correctly. I must google each step, tying not to care about the horrific UI which is simply beyond understanding. It's still running anti-virus software trying to get rid of the last trojans, some of which seem not possible to remove. Screen resolution is off and stretched out, 1600x900 not supported, no drivers available. Whole day I keep thinking why people still torture themselves by using Windows. It's very apparent why support cost for Macs is lower than for Windows PC. Sorry for all the rage, but come on, macOS will still be much better OS than Windows even if Apple stops developing it for several years.
It's very simply provable that there exist configurations you must guess in, even if weighted.
An in-depth comparison would be most welcome. I use Windows (7) all day writing code at work, and use Sierra at home nights and weekends. I do prefer MacOS, but I'm very curious what your issues are because I don't see them. If I really wanted as powerful a (desktop) machine as I could get for gaming, I'd definitely go Windows. No contest. (I don't want that.)

Apple's notebooks are excellent, no argument there.
> now that Windows has decent high-DPI support

YMMV, but this is why I still use a Mac--because even Windows 10's high-DPI support is messy and not great. Applications act inconsistently and Windows is straight-up bad at handling different DPI on different devices (and when you've got two 27" 2560x1440 panels and the laptop's own panel, this is a pretty significant problem).

You also have to take into account for the fact the Canadian dollar has fallen 25% to the Greenback since 2013
That would be way too easy to game. If I'm the rich owner, I rent it out for 51% every other year to reset the clock so I never end up paying a higher rate.

Furthermore I could see the government getting drunk off the high taxes and the massive deficits that would ensue if and when the property is sold to someone who actually lives there.
Tool of Hope: A Sober Alchemy to End My Helplessness
I think the challenge arises in ascertaining whether or not there is an adverse incentive driving their reporting on a given story.

In the case of Snap it seems safe to conclude that someone asked them to write positive stories. The need to disclose all potential conflicts arise because we cannot trust the authors of these sponsored stories to honestly disclose that that is what they are.
My point was simply that men with credentials for a job aren't being rejected solely because they are a man. A few decades ago, women were routinely rejected solely for being a woman.
I just think that's a very reductionist outlook.

Humans are complicated. They have a lot of different needs that all have complex relationships with one another. Everyone experiences theses needs to varying degrees. If the needs that aren't adequately satisfied aren't outweighed by those that are, then it's reasonable for a person to start looking elsewhere to satisfy those needs.

If my wife became a huge economic burden and wasn't contributing anything else to the relationship, then after a year or two I'd definitely be thinking I could do better.

And yet they were believed for thousands of years before we finally understood and adopted the scientific method.

It's not possible, no. The guessing is not a part of every layout, but often it is. See the board positions in this blog post:

Yea I recently read a story where a factory tried to hire around 50 people and could only hire a small number due to the vast majority failing drug tests.

Maybe the problem is whatever stupidity requires/incentivizes employers to police what "their" employees do when not at work?
Siri is a humiliating embarrassment. There is no other way to describe it. The only time I ever use it is for comedic relief, or to demonstrate the obvious superiority of either Google's, Microsoft's, or Amazon's implementations. To Apple, it's just another in a long series of marketing-driven features rolled out into some perceived white space in the competitive landscape and then abandoned. It's ridiculous that something so potentially game-changing to enable non-technical users, which is theoretically the market Apple thinks it owns, has gotten such short shrift at Apple, even in the face of growing (and superior) competition.
>I doubt any gender can be cultured out preference for physical attributes.

These are evolutionary traits and will most likely not change at least at the time scale of a few generations.

>We can support equal rights and still acknowledge innate differences right?

That's the idea. Law and human rights are deeply "contra natura" by definition.

Ignoring nature to the extent we are doing as a species will not end well as far as having a just society.
Pretty strong opinion, but if you took an honest look at the Surface Pro 4 vs an iPad Pro, you might find that Apple is making a device that can't fulfill its promises. I am sure Apple has some great master plan that we haven't seen, but the reality is far from great right now. Logic Pro and iOS dev and the only reasons I still (sometimes) use OSX.
Best thing about Vultr is that you can bring your own IP blocks and have their BGP servers announce them.

The bandwidth overage is also pretty okay. ($10/TB in NA/EU, $25/TB in AS, and $50/TB in AU.)
Non-locality is baked in because the theories are based on that principle. They are not invented to make the theory make sense.

Bells theorem shows that there is actually "spooky action at a distance".

I suppose, generally, but I go to a state university, you do need to swipe your active student ID card to enter the library through a turnstile. I've also attended many hackathons at other unis where turnstiles exist as well and you can't enter unless you're a student there.

I mostly remember because of the pain it was to get clearance from security at those unis to be able to get out of the hackathon (at their libraries) and get back in; had to leave ID and take my visitor badge with me.

I'm sure many state unis are open to residents of that state, but I know not all. To be honest, I prefer it to be that way for the same reason "actual" public libraries just aren't conducive for actually studying something that takes a lot concentration.
This is going to sound even worse, but..

I think there was some data from okcupid that showed black men are a lot more popular (based on messages sent etc) with women of other races than black women with men of other races (I have no idea why).

The uncomfortable truth could be that high-status black men have their pick of other races, leaving high-status black women to date lower status men.
Honestly, I doubt that it will, barring some civilization-scale catastrophe that resets global progress. I'm not being hyperbolic. As the world has shrunk, and intercommunication has increased, the benefits of being able to access the dominant languages have increased dramatically, and part of that process is fixing what is dominant.

English already has the unique distinction of having more ESL speakers than native ones, and has become the lingua franca of world commerce.

(And let's pause for a minute to enjoy the incorporation of the phrase 'lingua franca' in to the English corpus, too. I do love how English is completely shameless about taking whatever it wants from other languages to add to itself.)
I specifically highlight the fact that I don't think his conclusion is the best one. However, none can deny that there is truth in his diagnostic. To me, he's a guy who writes well and does his research on current phenomenons, hence why he is accurate on what is _currently_ happening. He has little education on economics though, and is just proposing ideas which he has gained through reading nostalgic essays on the glories of the past.
You did this wrong way. Complete wipe and reinstall is the only option for such infested computer.
>"One thing people fail to understand about consoles like this, or the Neve, is that they do produce a unique sound, but not for any technical reason."

Isn't the EQ, preamps and compression I get a product of the design of that unit? How is that not a technical reason?

Why are there Neve plugins based on the classic 1073 EQs and Preamps if there is nothing technical about why a Neve sounds like a Neve?

If this was the case I could I just artificially constrain my workflow and get the same recording as I would from a Neve.

> they show that if the second and 10 is due to a run on first down, they are more likely to run on second down than if they passed on first down

I think you got this backwards. If the first down was a run, they were far less likely to run on second down compared to when the first down was a pass.

University of Minnesota Renewable Tires Exemplify Industry 4.0 Standards
You can omit == 0 in Python because 0 is falsy like in C and add a not after the if. That gains another character

sum(x * x for x in [1,2,3,4] if not x % 2)

and it matches this Ruby 2.4.0 (which added Array#sum)

[1,2,3,4].map{|x| x.even? ? x * x : 0}.sum

You understood correctly that the point was not sheer compactness. I only wanted to provide a context to judge the Module.function syntax compared to the object.method one. The filter, map, reduce example was accidental and I'm sure there are clever ways to compact that example further in both languages.

So the pythonic way is be

reduce_function(map_function(x) for x in input if filter_condition)

I prefer to write it in the order it runs (filter -> map -> reduce) but that's it. Thanks.
5 things I want from the Google Chromebook Pixel 2017
I can't speak about other places, but the design and construction industry in Vancouver is working flat-out and has been since the slowdown in 2008-2010. My employer (engineering consultant) has a backlog of several months of design work. And if the developers want it sooner? Nothing they can do, because all our competitors are the same way.

And if they somehow got it sooner? Still nothing they can do, because all the supply chain is also backlogged! You need to contract with a rebar installer now if you want to start building your fancy new condo in 2019.
you barely can blame them.

Apple mostly uses ARM and the ARM chips are mostly of its own design. If Apple moves away from Intel for its PC lines, I'd bet on ARM over AMD all day, every day. Of course, AMD could heavily subsidize an Apple switch, but I think that is fairly unlikely. If the new chip is good enough for Apple to switch, it will do fine in the market all on its own. If it isn't, there isn't a big enough subsidy to drive an Apple change.
Nobody complains about speculators on the way down.

Speculators do add value by making the market more efficient.

For example, if there is going to be a house shortage then speculators will buy it early thus rewarding people for developing houses earlier.

Or, if there are too many houses, speculators can short it and bring prices down and so make housing more affordable earlier.

This assessment feels accurate. Just tried to think of any digital-first journalism outlet in the U.S. that is focused on doing independent reporting rather than "telling people how to feel."

Came up empty. That feels true on both the conservative and liberal sides too. Opinion isn't intrinsically bad, but it makes me nervous that the CPM ad-based revenue model definitely incentivizes this type of 'newsroom.'

> The UI remains a convoluted Escher'esque nightmare.

Totally disagree. I hopped from OS to OS for over a decade every other year or 3 (Win, OSX, Linuxes with various DMs/WMs) and it's always, always an adjustment period from "WTF is this" to "totally productive with this now", usually a matter of 1-2 weeks. Happy with Fedora/Gnome right now but have to say just Explorer itself beats Finder and Nautilus (rebranded as "Gnome Files" apparently now) for keyboard users when it comes to out-of-box file managers.

The weird new tiles/metro UI stuff they tried pushing from Win 8 is of course a pretty bad attempt to Microsoftify the "secondary desktop layer" concept that has been prevalent on the other OSes for longer, and better. It sucks, but also useless and thus not used for many/most power users I'd guess.

The rest of the "UI" question is in the hands of individual independent app developers, as it properly should be.
Cool to see also Rust supporting it: https://blog.rust-lang.org/2016/12/22/Rust-1.14.html

I think that you're misreading that: it states that: a different minimum wage (but still a minimum wage) applies to workers earning tips; and the standard minimum wage still applies if their wages & tips are insufficient to equal the minimum wage.

In other words, the minimum wage does apply, and even with tips the employer must pay at least some money.

Everyone I know who's ever worked for tips has tended to make quite a lot, considering.
> Comments like this make it hard to take any side of the discussion seriously. /Neither/ of the OSes are "Escher'esque nightmare[s]."

• Windows Explorer: http://i.imgur.com/ef7CnJ4.png

Alright. Maybe not nightmarish, but one of these IS objectively more convoluted than the other.

Let's start with something simple:

WHY does the "Options" button on the Windows Explorer Ribbon (in the top-right corner) drop-down to reveal a SINGLE menu item which DOES THE EXACT SAME THING as clicking on the button itself?

(Bonus: This is what happened when I tried to take a screenshot first: http://i.imgur.com/UsN554o.png — Explorer hanged when trying to remove a shortcut to a now-missing network share.)
Eventually the only option will be pickup only. It's the simple evolution of removing as much of the (human) cost as possible.

Of course it seems crazy to make the claim today that people won't o inside a store to pick their own groceries. About as crazy at it will seem to people then, that we used to do exactly that.
Who claimed we were unique observers? Please stop your strawmen and please stop cutting sentence of a larger discussion into pieces to try and dismiss them.

Air-molecules doesn't change anything with regards to the claim that things exist "out there" non what so ever.

It is a pretty good deal, maybe they'll raise that to 3 since most clusters require 3. I wonder if competition could otherwise spin up a bunch and make their loss leader (if it is a loss leader) into something unsustainable.
> None of these things are universal among Windows machines. I can't remember which model, but a Verge review recently said that a Windows laptop had surpassed the best Mac (in terms of hardware quality).

Doubtful. Apple does crazy stuff like custom ACPI for Thunderbolt controllers so they can be very efficient. Or having each of the fins on a fan be at a different angle so they have a different pitch and fan noise is distributed across the sound spectrum (reducing total perceived noise). They were also the first (not sure if the only one) with terraced batteries.

> It's fine. Everything works and looks good. Sometimes you use legacy apps (which is a feature of Windows -- legacy apps still work) that don't handle scaling well, but the OS helps resolve those issues.
