> I mean, sure, cool new features happen at that level, but you can't tell me the iPhone would've fallen out of a "water cooler" conversation between a couple of C++ devs on a Wednesday afternoon in the office.

I think you are severely discounting the advantages of having people nearby/ in the same office. I'm not against working remotely, but personally do prefer a mix between working in the office and WFH. Its a lot easier to whiteboard designs and explain concepts. Its easy to ask a question and get an answer. There's also the other aspect of building a shared culture and getting to know your coworkers. That promotes a sense of comraderie so that when e.g. someone on the team has to take time off, there is a deadline for a deliverable or there is a service outage, the team works much more quickly and cohesively to solve problems. This also allows a better division of labor and I've seen this lead to many innovations as one person on the team focuses exclusively for a small time on solving a problem.
Even IG Farben did?

Multiple models are fine, so long as you have clear signaling. As you point out, it's not terribly hard for the consumer to tell the difference between 13", 15", etc.

Usually it's not that easy, and tech releases are shockingly hard to understand, and in my opinion most of the ambiguities are pure laziness. Since the topic at hand is Apple, let's pick out some examples from their small'ish product line:

* There's no way to know, without doing extra research, that the iPhone 'S' suffix means "better." 'S' could easily mean "small." The 'C' suffix is even more ambiguous.

* The iPhone SE is probably the most ambiguously named product they've released in years. Now it's even worse, because once you know that the SE stands for "Special Edition," releases like the iPhone 7 (RED) Special Edition make it even harder to understand where the SE fits in.

* Apple still sells MacBook Airs, except they made the MacBook do what the Air used to do and they've all but discontinued Airs.

* They're advertising the iPad 9.7", which is just the newest version of the iPad, except they already have an iPad Pro 9.7", so if you search for 9.7" on Google or look around Apple's store you mostly see mostly results for the Pro 9.7". In fact on the buy iPad 9.7" page doesn't even say 9.7" anywhere except when referencing the Pro.

Of course Apple isn't the only tech company that does this; they just used to be one of the better ones, and now they're slowly giving up that advantage. The more technical a company thinks its userbase is, the lazier it gets with naming. Computer components, for example, have names that are so useless you basically have to infer their positioning by their MSRP. (Spec sheets are only marginally helpful; your only real option is to search for benchmarks.) This is not a good thing; everyone benefits from clearer naming conventions. Many companies just don't think it's important, for some reason.
If you use Chrome with the open ATI driver if you go in chrome:/flags you can force it to enable hardware acceleration via "
Override software rendering list" even if it's not on the (very cautious) whitelist.

To even get to chrome://flags I have to (on first run) do google-chrome --disable-gpu then change the flag then restart.

After that everything works flawlessly, it took me a while to track that one down!.
Are you talking about a 2015 MBP or the 2016 with touchbar in the second paragraph? I honestly can't imagine all of that running on my 2015 MBP.
If you want pure speculation: Perhaps you don't trust airport security in those countries to properly check the laptops, but you trust the airport security in third countries.
Untapt Hiring Guide
I want one. I have the red case already. But I'm holding out for the 8.
The P50 is pretty impressive, especially compared to my older W540 which is a brick. We just ordered one for a new-hire on my team, and we'll probably end up replacing the W540/W541's over the next 18 months as everyone becomes due for a hardware refresh.
My last company was a acquired by a company based in California. Under CA law, you are entitled to your own IP if done on your own equipment. So, I had a separate laptop. The employment agreement had a clause where you were to list all of the IP that you had owned. But, it was ambiguous about whether I was retaining ownership or turning it over to the new company. So, I asked their legal: am I listing what's mine or what's yours? The reply was an ambiguous "yes". I quit after 1 day. A colleague, with the same issue lasted for a month.
It's a sign the pool of potential employees is large enough that concessions don't have to be made at negotiations. This is why we have unions.
Deep Learning without Backpropagation
The problem with that is, that prosecuters will then assume, that there still might by naughty stuff hidden. With hidden volume cryptography it's impossible to prove that one presented keys to the entirety of encrypted data.

From an information theory point of view, if each and every available bit was used it could be proven that the total entropy of the cleartext sums up to the total entropy of the ciphertext. In practice the amount of cleartext entropy will always be significantly lower than the entropy of the ciphertext.
It can definitely do this, it supports AWS out of the box and has "provider plugins" for everyone else. The workflow for deploying and managing applications is the same across all providers.

At the implementation level, the providers do differ. From small things (like the function interface) to bigger things (like event services).

I did a talk on this a while ago:

No? I have a 9.7 Pro. I have the Pro because it's one of the best tablet solutions on the market. I actively do not want a 12.9" tablet, and a non-Pro doesn't support the Apple Pencil.

I think what we're seeing here is not so complicated: it's that customers have strong size preferences, and that they're often orthogonal to their price sensitivities.
Sure, I agree with you and with most of the replies here.

dawson will soon switch to using an AWS CloudFormation Service Role, which allows us to require users to grant fine-grained permissions.
We will then provide a copy-pasteable Policy for users to set, and update the documentation accordingly.

Currently, since CloudFormations runs with the CLI user's AWS Credentials, such user needs to be granted the permission to do every action, including, for example, managing DynamoDB Tables, S3 Buckets etc...

Also, imagine you're adding an S3 Bucket as a custom resource to your app. dawson will create such S3 Bucket using CloudFormation; CloudFormation needs to be run by a user with S3::CreateBucket permission. This applies for each resource managed by dawson/CloudFormation.

Again, thanks for your valuable inputs and feedbacks!

IBM isn't a tech company. It's a brand with an impressive marketing department that sells experiences, not products. The rest of it (the stuff you don't see unless you get close enough) is an accumulation of spaghetti acquired in an ad hoc and aimless fashion.

You have to pay them to leave. You have to endure the publicity of large scale layoffs. This way, you are progressive, agile, and team oriented.
I think that 10 hour per series, and 55 series means 550 hours. Usually people learning English use several resources to learn like books, podcasts, music, online tests for preparing English exams.
Fair enough, but some day interpolated renders may be completely indistinguishable. The only benefit to completely hand-drawn work by then could very well be satisfying the artist's own preference.
You could describe it as bad language. Two physics examples.

A classic momentum problem where a moving railroad car "acts on" a stationary car making the cars couple and move together, slower. There's no ambiguity with language like "acts on". I'm sure a very angry physicist could get very unhappy about the finer details of "acts upon" in that context but mostly people are pretty tolerant of it.

But what, is acting on what, in a classic quantum mechanics double slit experiment? Is one slit acting on the other? I mean, you can't even define the wave/particle as a wave or a particle much less what the whatever it is, is acting on. A physicist sees it where a wave/particle is interacting with a system of slits sounds pretty suspect to a non-STEM person even if it is the weird truth. Or truthier than some other interpretations.

So given the two examples what does "acts on" mean in a physicist sense across all physics problems? Keeping in mind that the intelligent design people say things like "God acts on the earth via miracles" now how does that statement fit in with the two physics thought experiments on the topic of "acts on"?
perhaps they've realised docker isn't all it's cracked up to be: https://thehftguy.com/2017/02/23/docker-in-production-an-upd...

.deb/.rpm packaging isn't that hard, and for more complex setups it's probably more realistic provide vm images to run on esx/xen/etc.

The estimates of problem gambling are on the order of 3% of the population. I think millions of people constitute "many". YMMV.

If you go bankrupt, that is society bailing you out. We cancel your debts and let you go free of them.

We also won't let your family starve, we'll pick up a chunk of your medical coverage, and you'll be consuming all sorts of public goods without paying your share until you're back on your feet. If you ever get there, because gambling addictions that go as far as bankruptcy can be devastating personally.

2016 w/ touchbar. I've done similarly heavy workloads on a 2015 MBP with same RAM and it was "ok", but certainly noticeable. I think the biggest contributing factor is likely SSD speed, but that's just a guess.
Why would anyone do that? It would be against the rules. Gotta follow the rules. /s

On a somewhat serious note - presumably your itinerary would light up like a Christmas tree somewhere. Unless, of course, you swap identities en route. That would be against the rules, though.

Also, in fairness, it may be that they have very credible intelligence that someone is planning mischief using a specific carrier or airport.

I understand you. There was a time where there was one lineup for each need, and you knew what matched your situation. "Apple, give me a tablet", you pay 1 grand, you get the most awesome tablet. Now it's like in sport shops: "I need a sleeping bag to sleep outside" gets you a response like "What kind of 'sleep outside' do you mean?"...

That's strawman, IG Farben was a company in Nazi Germany, which had different laws and different rights.

If you want a better example, yes, Haliburton, GSK, and Koch, all have the right to lobby in their best interests (at least in the US).
In theory, the goal of the government is to maximize your amount of tax paid while the goal of professional tax preparation is to minimize it. (In order to compete with other services.)

In practice, I don't know whether there ends up being a net benefit to taxpayers or not in the current setup.
How can we condemn something that's "never wrong"?

They have no right to lobby for anything they want. They may have the legal right to do so, but it's still wrong in some cases.

What is your threat model regarding your laptop when you travel internationally?

I don't really agree with this passage:

"Back-end developers often attribute front-end expertise not to mastery but to alchemy, wizardry or magic. Its adepts don’t succeed through technical skill so much as a kind of web whispering: feeling, rather than thinking, their way through a tangle of competing styles – in other words, those soft fuzzy things that women are supposed to excel at. That’s not true, of course; nothing on a computer is any more or less logical than anything else."

I think it's pretty well understood in the industry that front end computing can be relentlessly complicated and technical. 'd say dealing with state and synchronous javascript front end frameworks and apps is one of the more technically demanding and cutting edge roles in software development these days, full of churn and confusion and technical complexity. In fact, malaise is so widespread that the technical complexity of javascript front-end has created a blogging subgenre of javascript framework despair.

I'm bummed to be writing this, because I see merit in the claim that fields that employ a higher percentage of women experience wage supression due to gender bias and sexism. But this is an article that describes learning HTML and CSS as "learning to code", and then attributes differences in pay to gender rather than the nature of the work.

The difference in pay within a job and between different jobs may well have plenty to do with gender. But in this case (HTML vs say, Ember) we are comparing essentially different jobs, not different versions of the same job.

Oh one last thing - the author is entirely correct that learning to code, no matter how good you get at it, will not gain you entry in to the upper echelons of tech's ruling class.

And here we are, talking about a guy presumed to have some information on his head, arrested for refusing to disclose that information, in a thread about legal professionals creating BS, with somebody arguing that "witness" has a legal meaning that does not cover people disclosing information they have on their heads...

HN has recently seen a surge in conversation about hiring best practices. The company that I work for (untapt) thought it would be helpful to create a document to help hiring managers improve their own hiring process.

We would love feedback from people on each side of the hiring table. What makes a hiring process successful in your eyes?

If there is broad interest, this document may turn into a more substantial GitBook.
When the lotto jackpot reaches around $500 million, I'll spend $5 on tickets (it happens maybe once a year). It's easily worth it for the few days I get to dream about setting up the ultimate workshop or being able to travel to find the greatest teachers.

Those guys were doing it non-manually when nokias were the phone of choice, and back in the day the IRA probably used plain clocks, it's not going to be much extra hassle for them.
...And Enron, and Goldman, and all of the companies that tanked us in 2008. Right? Where is this right spelled out exactly, except in the fiction that corporations are people without the responsibilities?
I agree that all of the sub-versions of the iPhone are slightly confusing, but at least they generally follow a pattern.

There's always a clear progression, a higher number is always better than a lower number, and adding an S is an incremental upgrade over the non-S version. The Plus is always a larger size than normal.

The G series and C series have complicated things, but generally speaking you just have to pick a number and then pick one of ~3 options at that level.
My guess is that the rest of Europe/EASA will follow the US/UK rules very soon on this one.

I know it's more difficult, but being there to say goodbye to your pet, holding their paw, petting their head... it does add a certain amount of closure that (imo) you'll appreciate later.

That being said, my last dog passed on 5 years ago, and I'm tearing up just writing this. I'm glad I was there with her though.
I've served more than 15,000 Meals on Wheels. It's about way more than food
We've always trained our dogs with hand gestures rather than words anyway, so it made sense. I was really glad to help out Dusty! He was about a year old, a kind of misbred Australian shepherd that Aussie folks call a "lethal white". Lethal whites (a product of breeding two merle-colored Aussies together, 1/4 of which are like this) are often blind, deaf, or both. Dusty could see okay, but he was totally deaf. And being a herding dog, he needed a job. He wanted so hard to be a good boy, to contribute some how, but had no idea what to do. (He had been rescued from a dangerous domestic violence situation, where the owner's boyfriend hated that stupid destructive dog of hers.)

He was able to move on to his next fostering knowing how to sit, lay down, and stay, and how to be taught more. It was amazing to teach him! It was like Helen Keller come to life in my house.
Contracts theoretically could be protected by copyright. However, we reuse so much of the functional language that it would be difficult to prove that a given contract is sufficiently transformative to merit protection. One exception is that heavily-annotated firm templates and file memos. I would be more cautious about sharing a detailed, annotated template from a previous employer.

Some large firms in fact do require associates to sign covenants. In particular English firms seem to do this a lot. I consider it to be unethical, as it is anti-competitive and runs contrary to the interests of clients, who should remain free to select the lawyer of their choice (even a disloyal employee of their previous law firm).

The UK is on the cusp of committing economic suicide, or at least crippling itself for decades. It needs all the friends it can get. I imagine this is a measure to cosy up to the US, in full knowledge that it is an unhinged administration, in the hope of getting a good trade deal out of it once we cease trading as part of the bloc.

> Yes, but you originally asked us to do the opposite: to not modify a language based on the benefits shown in a different language

Not quite. I asked you not to try to turn one language into another (that occupies a different niche). We don't need Go to become Rust, because we already have Rust. If Go becomes a better Go by stealing ideas from Rust, that's good. If Go becomes a worse Go by trying to become more of a Rust, that's a net loss.

Haskell... I admit that I was not thinking of it as a research language, where the whole point is to try out ideas. It's become more than that. It's become a "real" (production) language, not just a research language. But I will grant that it (partially) exists to experiment with ideas and export them.
The main thing that comes to mind for me is the Apple Pencil.
I'm guessing this post is intended with some small level of sarcasm or passive aggression to make a "subtle" point, but assuming it's just a simple question: yes, the UK is widely considered be heavily influenced by anti-immigrant sentiment. Brexit is a high-profile example of this.
Does anyone know of a better way to navigate the document structure here?

I see this on the GNU website and in the HTML versions of their manuals, so am assuming it's from a design choice made there ...

Making the empty side margins Clickable to indicate "next page" / "continue" or binding the arrow keys, or spacebar-if-scrolled-to-bottom would make this much more tolerable to navigate, I surmise that the emacs / info readers must have more usable controls. Are there nav controls I'm missing?
We have written our laws to allow corporations to exist because this system is supposed to be better for the public at large. I'll yell at H&R Block and Intuit because they are subverting the public interest. (I'll yell at politicians too)

> Sure, in order to encode both sets of data into a single encrypted result would require more storage space, but that is a small price to pay

You moved on from this aspect too quick. The "price being paid" isn't the economic cost of more storage space, but the technical fact that your ciphertext is clearly capable of containing more information, and therefore probably does. This is a fundamental constraint of steganography.

The general answer to this is to align the size of the ciphertext with some larger more-fixed volume size that has another plausible reason for existing. With Truecrypt you could say "I created a 1GiB volume as a nice round number for future storage, even though I only ever stored 100MB on there". With a general steganographic filesystem you could say "I bought a 4TB disk even though I didn't put much on there", etc.

But note these arguments are only suggestive and not open-and-shut. If one has a data-hoarder amount of hard drives but only reveals enough data on them to fill up a decade-old single drive, they aren't going to be believed.
