> 1) A better Mac App Store

Depends on in what way, because there's already https://www.macupdate.com ,but I've been thinking about a similar service for Linux, one that makes it easy to discover new apps and find out how to get them easily for your particular distro.

Also, if a company is still stuck on Python 2.7 in 2020, there's a good chance probably already stuck on an older version of Django anyway.
Sounds like customization. Tesla pre-order is basically a queue for a future delivery, not about getting a specific feature.
On the politics point, I really think it was for a different reason.

Probability of putting up an image on r/place was a function (inversely related to) of how much antagonism it would draw. I think that it why there were so few political messages. There were too many people AGAINST a given image, and not necessarily not enough FOR it.

Sabotaging was way easier than constructing.

Reposting my comment from a duplicate thread:

This is an interesting PR approach, non-Apple process. They took time to talk to their top journalist connections in order to halt the the "apple doesn't care about pros anymore" articles. I applaud the additional transparency, smart. What I am not convinced about is that they are building the right solutions. How did their product teams miss this gap several years back? If Apple saw the "developers" as a growing user base, why did the new Macbook launch with a touch strip? They should know what device (laptop vs desktop) developers prefer. Did the Macbook and Mac Pro leadership change? Was it personnel issue?

Overall an interesting situation I would love to better understand. If all revenue and growth projections are positive, why appease a vocal minority? I assume they do believe their "early adopter developer creative types" are a vocal minority that can sway a large consumer base's brand perception.
> Are they saying you can also spend your 'Amazon dollars' at those stores?

No, clearly not:

I'd find that really compelling.

Consider hand-producing a sample via manual audio editing, to demonstrate the limits of what ought to be possible. Find some audio you think could be listened to at that rate, see how fast you can listen to it via standard sound stretching techniques (e.g. libsoundtouch and similar), and then demonstrate how much better you can do with hand-editing. Worry about how to automate that after you successfully demonstrate that possibility and make it compelling.

My main point of friction in Django is still the admin interface; it's got a very steep sigmoid of a learning curve. The easy stuff is very easy, which is great, but when you want to do something somewhat complex it becomes arcane very quickly, usually requiring step-debugging through the code to figure out which framework method needs to be tweaked.

Also, it's 2017 and we are still selecting ForeignKeys from an unfiltered drop-down menu with potemtially thousands of entries? This is madness. A PR for using select2.js (https://github.com/django/django/pull/6385) has been floating around for a year now, but progress is glacial.

I fear the admin site code has become so flexible and generic that it's difficult to extend, which is discouraging improvements.

Anyone care to shout out their favourite admin site replacements? I've tried a few but not found a great fit.

I thought the same thing while reading the article. The whole part about Power BI is definitely an advertisement, it has little to do with the rest of the story.
Google sheets uses canvas. The strategy you describe is orthoganal to canvas versus DOM.

Good question. Just ask it respectfully because..

Right, people are intelligent enough to not go into a gridlocked city if they have a choice. They'll avoid it altogether.

This is the problem with this class of argument, and the one in the article. They rely on cherry-picking data or isolated observations. I haven't seen any of these arguments try to take into account transportation quality measures like travel time index, average commute time/distance, average trip time, physical mobility, number of jobs, wages and population over time, or satisfaction levels.

Eh, I'm extremely wary of people who think they have a silver bullet to everything and can speak in absolutes like this.

I have to say, you have a tendency on HN to chime in from the peanut gallery and be a bit unrelenting and even combative because jedberg does things differently.

I don't understand why on Hackernews we change the titles of the submissions, if the originating site (a repudable arstechnica in this case) has the original title of "Formula 1: A technical deep dive into building the world’s fastest cars".

And with gems like this in the article, how someone couldn't say that it's technical?

"For example, each Formula 1 team is only allowed to use 25 teraflops (trillions of floating point operations per second) of double precision (64-bit) computing power for simulating car aerodynamics. 25 teraflops isn't a lot of processing power, in the grand scheme of supercomputers: it's about comparable to 25 of the original Nvidia Titan graphics cards (the new Pascal-based cards are no good at double-precision maths)."

Go back and read the GP. That comment was about FPSes not having "deep single player gameplay". Deus Ex most definitely had deep single player gameplay. Its AI was easy to game in hilarious ways (i.e. a joke) but that didn't take away from the gameplay depth. On Realistic difficulty level JC often died in one headshot so you still had to be careful not to draw too much attention.
When I lived in Atlanta I had an apartment in south Buckhead within sight of I-85 actually quite close to where it collapsed. I don't recall many sleep disturbances. But when I lived in a complex on 10th street there were sirens going down the road at all hours of the night.

The low grumble of car motors is pretty minor by noise standards. Fire engines and ambulances however...
Sounds interesting, I will check it out for sure.

I'm mostly happy with Homebrew but I have had trouble occasionally with the multi-user thing. Because some people (at least one!) still use different user accounts on the same Mac, e.g. "work" and "private."
My wife was attacked and she was caring a gun. People who attack people are fundamentally not good at risk reward cost benefit analysis.

The deal is if you carry, which I did for years, you have to maintain above normal situational awareness. You have to be able to get space. Cops can do this because they arrive after the fact and get to enter the situation with the appropriate threat posture. If I have a gun and I get into an altercation the moment i'm in physical contact with the other person the gun doesn't matter. The long and the short of it is if you can be prepared and have "the drop" on someone a gun is a great way to protect yourself. That is why I feel the shotgun at home is a good idea concealed carry an overall liability.

Source. I lived in the 14th most dangerous neighborhood in the us for 15 years and carried a gun most of the time.
That's mostly only true for the 1-3 top teams, though - there's quite a bit of battles going on behind them, at least that's what I remember from last season to be the enjoyable part. I hope we'll see more even fights at the top as well.
My belief is that the quest to find a unified physics that describes everything is provably impossible due to Godel's theorem.

How would that happen? Physics is an empirical science, all we have to do is to look at what actually happens and write it down. Even if we fail to find good mathematical expression to describe what we see, we can always just create charts and tables describing what happens. There is nothing that prevents us from fully describing physics.

Unifying physics then just means finding one mathematical model that is able to describe all the aspects we discovered in different limits. I can not see how Gödel's incompleteness theorem would have any bearing on this. We just have to find a set of equations that reproduce our observations given the experimental setup. This does not involve any proofs, it's just the question whether a set of equations accurately describes the universe.

I can really only think of one way in which describing the universe with mathematics must fail and that is if there is no mathematical description of the universe. Otherwise we could always guess a set of equations and then verify that it works in all experiments we ever performed. You can of course never be sure that you did not simply miss one experiment that causes your theory to fail, but that is in the nature of physics. This also seems pretty unlikely, I fail to imagine anything that could escape all attempts of mathematical describing it in principle.

Can you tell me more about your bash setup?

It seems silly, but to me two big annoyances are

1. I can't figure out how to easily open up the bash/ubuntu thing where I need it. I'd love to just have a dedicated "github stuff" folder that it opens into by default (and can edit). I always seem to put stuff where bash ubuntu isn't allowed to touch, or I'm manually CDing around until I find that weird place where the C drive is. I mean yea I can google it, but I'd have to do it every time.

2. Pardon my french but it's fuckugly. The colors, the fonts, lack of transparency. Copying/pasting/etc all suck. How can I make this less sucky?
Sadly unless you normalize the cars we may never see true racing as you say. Someone in my F1 watch group pointed out the minimal passes in that race. It would be sad if it ends up being like the Peak Schumacher days where races were more or less won by pit strategy.

Also worried that it's now Ferrari, Mercedes, and everyone else. By a long shot.
Any example syntax?

Sounds like you're implementing OCaml with Ruby syntax.
Likewise, I'm very impressed with the early article selection. The site itself is beautiful, and interactive figures like the one at the top of this link are incredibly helpful.

Overall -- huge fan!
It was something my boss told me when I used to work retail. I think it's part of the commons now ;) no attribution.
"Show Path Bar" isn't interactive, but it's worth noting that the Command-Click trick lets you navigate to any of the folders along the path, not just display them. (Which I'm sure you know, but just in case readers don't.)

I've never found macOS's window management to be that bad, but to be fair I've been using Moom for a decade or so, and lately have been using the "split full screen app" trick a lot. (Someone else mentioned the long press on the green "full screen" dot for that, but you can also do it just by making an app full screen, going to Mission Control--which I do with a four-finger swipe--and dragging a second app on top of the full screen one.) That's not as useful for 27" monitors--in most cases I prefer to actually have untiled windows I can rearrange and resize with the pointer--but it's terrific for laptop screens.
Why? I honestly don't see how it's out of scope at all (majored in mathematics, minored in physics)

Email sent, happy to hear about your use case!
>Ugh. Give me low-amplitude foods, then...

Exactly. Doritos and Mountain Dew thrive on this concept of "amplitude", and they're palette annihilating crap for which "moderation" is so far removed from typical consumption that it hardly even enters into the model. Amplitude is at its core, a trick on the senses, and once you're out of your teens/twenties it's not a very nice one.

I would also point out the difference between traditional sources of "amplitude" (mayo is a good example mentioned in the article, fish sauces would be another) are almost always condiments, sauces, or soup bases. There is a difference between the expectation that you use some mayo on your sandwich, and the expectation that you should drink soda.
Have a look at Django Rest Framework for your backend. Also there are lots of other Django apps which might be useful for backend only apps like eg. ratelimiting.

I completely agree! I like the "idea" of multiplayer, but, in general, the best thing about multiplayer is also the worst thing: other players.

Being punished for being new or not that good or not having as much time as the teen players (who are often the largest percentage of the game) is not my idea of fun. I remember I played an FPS a few years ago (won't say which one) and it felt like I was being punished for trying to get into the game. So I uninstalled it. As far as I can tell, the game is more or less dead now. By punishing new players, the fans killed the game. Yay for them. Instead, I moved on to some great single player games which treated me well and were much more fun for me to play.
Ubuntu has these similar features in whatever default window manager thing it uses (I don't know the difference between window manager, desktop, etc for Linux). It also has "geographical desktop management," i.e., in windows and mac your separate desktops are to the left and right only, on ubuntu they can be up, down, left, or right. Might be trivial to some, but to me, having a "physical space" metaphor for my workflow is tremendously helpful.

Also you can drag left/right to snap to one half of a screen.

Anyway I tried to replicate this behavior on Mac with spectacle. It's meh. If you fuck up and fullscreen something and then try to half screen it, it seems to break horribly.
You and I have met very different "over 60 people".
It is fantasy armour, but imagine that the filigreed parts are all solid with the filigree applied on the outside. The armour in the article is "practical" in the sense that the overall design of it (its component parts, its silhouette) is basically [Gothic plate armour][0], rather than a completely fantastical invention.

Joins against time series data sound really nice.
Agree on normalization. Or at least keep the core regulation (engines, aerodynamics, tires) untouched for a few years. Right now it's some kind of new regulation every year, and the big teams with their crazy development budgets can buy wins in the next year. If that stuff would at least stay the same for a while, the teams could become more even. For a few years Red Bull dominated completely because of aerodynamics regulation, now it was Mercedes because of engine regulation, and it just becomes more boring all the time.
I'd really like to know what you do to make a 2 year Macbook Pro upgrade cycle worth the cash outlay. Performance updates have been really incremental between releases for the last while.
I do some serious machine learning and DSP development (except for deep learning, but an upgrade is not going to help with that) on my early 2013 rMBP and I feel bad asking for an upgrade although I could probably get one, because there is really nothing wrong with my machine. Maybe when a 32GB version swings around...
Oh, don't worry. It's quite credible.

"Users" empowered by the source code do not just simply make changes, they write complete replacements for parts of the system.

For example:

On an open system you have plenty of choice in WMs (all written by the "users").

On Windows you are stuck with DWM.exe.
Thank you. I looked through it and it appears this is closest, but have not dug into it much yet. In beta but definately in right direction to what I envisioned.

Ah! I understand now. You want all new repos that get created to be public by default so that future pulls don't require a token. Also you want the push to be public so that doesn't require a token. Did I understand that correctly?

Do you mind opening an issue on our github repo - if you can do that we can definitely add that feature for you within two weeks.

How ironic. Yesterday on HN someone said "Google Security Team, here's your call to stop pontificating on the Project Zero blog and throwing cheap muck at Microsoft. You've got an even bigger and more complicated mess to clean up, you dug the hole yourself, it's going to take you longer, and you should have started on it years ago" [1]

And today we have this very impressive counter-example of Google putting some engineers to work for months doing vuln research for making, in the end, EVERYONE safer: Apple users, Samsung users, and hundreds of other mobile device vendors who use this popular Broadcom Wi-Fi chipset in products shipped to 1B+ users.

But no, somehow, tomorrow again it is going to be all Google's faults that Android-derived commercial works are insecure and poorly maintained by their respective vendors.

Of course it's valid! A world-renowned philosopher like Plantinga wouldn't publish a proof that's not valid. That's like saying Dijkstra's code compiles :)

The main problem with ontological arguments (and why, even as a Christian, I don't like them) is because they seem to embed the conclusion in their first premise. E.g.: the possibility of a maximally great being seems to definitionally imply its necessity. Why? Because such a being B must have some properties P = { ? ? ? ... }. We may not be sure what's inside P, but we know, with absolute certainty, that existence is in there.

Kant would disagree. He thinks that existence is not a property. This is a rare case when I think he's right.
Java EE et al. Specifically Spring/Hibernate in a web app that we distribute to customers for them to run themselves (usually in Tomcat). With a separate UI app that is finally almost finished transitioning from Flex to Javascript.

Not the sort of thing I recommend unless you have an application that actually needs all of that (which our users do, and if you did I doubt you'd be looking at anything in Python).

I really like the idea that Eben Moglen seems to pitch in every of his recent talks when talking about FreedomBox:

A decentralized network of cheap "plug-computers" that run Facebook-like functionality on the hardware of the users. And yet, while FreedomBox is a great project and does many things right, it omits the one crucial aspect of this: the decentralized social network.

Let's hope Solid or something similar takes over the social networking world eventually and we can get rid of all the megacorporations hoarding our data.

Lots of people notices the commercial and when he would sport it around Charlotte. ESPN even mentioned it, and IIRC he cut it because of the negative attention it was getting. I could be wrong about the last point.

With that said, when I saw it on an NBA game before the commercials aired I was like 'Hey! Look! Jordan has a Hitler stache, wth?' To which my friend responded 'he needs a new PR person'
> Ugh. Give me low-amplitude foods, then...

The whole point of the article was to explain why this does not work. Low amplitude foods spike in one category eg "Worlds Best" had the highest "tomato" score but failed in other areas. The reason people are not buying it in droves is because heinz has all 5 components in harmony.

The music analogy was perfect also. Take your personal favorite bands and songs and imagine their works being played by musicians in training. The results would not be as impressive.
For the other perspective - it actually boggles my mind when I see coworkers with one desktop open with 3-4 windows kinda mushed all around, different sizes, etc. Like, you paid a lot of money for that good display, why are you not using it?! How can you stand having to scroll all over a window to see something, when you could just fullscreen it? Is it that they need to context switch quickly? Why not just use multiple desktops, with all fullscreen or at least fully-half-screened apps?

I never understood this type of workflow and when I was in school it was everywhere, it's like apple was pushing for people to have little windows strewn out over an otherwise gorgeous display.
