Efficiency: I do my thinking/coding/building/writing (not writing emails) in the morning before anyone comes in and can interrupt me. I plan all meetings (which I don't consider proper work) in the afternoons. In short: work first, chatting and socialising afterwards. Some people do like to do it the other way around, which I totally understand and respect. I'm more of a morning person. TDLR; My first 8 hours I start with creating value and at the end of the day I a put in a few extra hours (not always) to socialise ;-)
It doesn't use any CPU when idle for me? It does use a bunch when switching workspaces. But after that it drops back to 0%. It should NOT use CPU constantly.

There are memory leaks without any extensions, but usually it's an extension which causes the memory to increase.
From a completely practical standpoint, we gotta have adjectives, otherwise every science story will be "People do stuff!"

Fair enough to pick at which adjectives are used. I certainly find the nationality of the researchers more interesting than many other aspects, such as their hair color. Different nations have different cultures and policies towards things. Using nationality as an adjective might lead to productive conversations around how to make the species better. If so, that's a win. If all it does is promote mindless nationalism, it's a loss. So far, I'm not seeing anything to worry about -- and this title is much better than "Several Short, Brown-Haired People just did some Amazing Things with Beakers!" :)

ADD: It seems like my joking title should end with "And you won't believe #7!"

Thanks for your comment. This kinda thing can certainly get out of hand. So far we are very far away from that happening.
Can you name a democratic country with 1 billion+ people that has achieved what China has in such a short period of time? Nope. Do you think China would have progressed the same if it wasn't managed as an autocracy?
I was thinking the same thing ... I've been in tech for 35 years and it's generally a stressful industry (especially during crunch time). She also seems to spend a very short amount of time at each place she works and is constantly changing frameworks/technology. Don't get me wrong, I like playing with new technologies but you also need to achieve mastery at some of them.
I still prefer TypeScript for web frontend code, because it fits a lot nicer into that ecosystem (React, MobX, webpack, etc.) and the structural typing also feels better suited for that environement.

Kotlin could however be awesome for cross-platform mobile dev, targeting both iOS and Android with a lot of shared code and truly native apps on both.
I don't see 'viral' as an insult, I see it as a feature. I'm certainly pro-GPL, but I don't use it in too many of my projects. When I do use it, it's because I want that viral nature. When I don't, it's because I want people to have the freedom to modify it on their terms. However, pretending that every project should be licensed under copyleft licenses or that there's no room for criticism of the GPL smacks of zealotry.

As for the author, I don't have the full article, but he isn't listed on the 'Board Member', 'Leadership', or 'Technical Advisory Board' sections on the Linux Foundation webpage. Everyone there seems to have pretty damn fancy titles. I have no idea of his actual position in the hierarchy.
Oh that's not fair now, come on. My comment was in response to, and concerning, the notion of "overly offensive clothing" and in that narrow instance, your quote is on point -- albeit a tad condescending (not that you were, just that quote itself).
Plus, you aren't really there except for sleeping and maybe a meal. You're always at work, with friends, out to dinner, at the bar or coffee shop, hiking or biking outside...

Nice, but it shouldn't be restricted to coding, I think.
For me -- and, I suspect, many others -- this is too little too late.

Just a few months ago, I spent somewhere around $4500 (all-in) putting together a new workstation. It runs Linux instead of OS X and this has led to me using my (4-year-old) ThinkPad more than my (18-month-old) MacBook Pro (when I'm "on the go"). I actually plan on selling the MBP; I just haven't gotten around to it yet.

I'm sure this is great news -- and long-awaited -- to many people... but some of us got tired of waiting.
Thanks so much! I'm only seeing this now. RESIST THE TEMPTATION :)

I've been working remote for four years in Toronto. I'm here for a few reasons:

* It's easy to visit both of our family's from here
* If the company I work for goes belly up, there's an abundance of work available here (though I'd strongly prefer to stay remote)

We've toyed with the idea of moving, but remain here for now due to combinations of the above. I can virtually assure you that we'll move if and when we decide to purchase a home.

You're probably right. I'm not really familiar with what it takes to operate a data center.
The general rule of thumb is the farther north the better, although you probably want to be south of melting permafrost. Europe is in for a rough ride, as it will be faced with hundreds of millions if not billions of refugees from Africa, the Middle East, and southern Asia in the not-that-distant future.

So, Alaska, northern Canada, or New Zealand if you can afford to buy citizenship.

The 2013 Mac Pro was a disgusting money-grab. Back then I really wanted one, but just couldn't bring myself to pay their outrageous prices.
Again, for the scenario you yourself mentioned "you were born in England and lived there all your life. Then you fly over to Thailand on a tourist visa" you either consent to their rules or don't go there. You certainly don't get to coerce them to change their rules to fit your wishes, unless you come with a large number of gunboats and troops.

In general, coercion is unavoidable - either you have no rules and then de facto anybody can (and will!) coerce others to arbitrary things up to their ability; or you have rules and someone/something needs to coerce that these rules are followed. You can't simply have a consensus that everybody will never coerce anybody else, well, not if the society is made of people like us, it might be an option for a nonhuman/posthuman society. So starting from a premise that all coercion must be removed is counterproductive and futile. Where a system with more suffering can be replaced with a system with less suffering (for example, replacing anarchy with strict rule of law) I definitely am cheering for the coercion required to do so.
I'm not sure I want to wade into this religious war, but you can surely agree that the GPL is more restrictive (as in, it adds restrictions) than say the BSD or MIT licenses.

If you would like to have at least a conversant base of knowledge, read the IPCC report Summary for Policymakers[1]. People who do know what they're talking about have done a great job summarizing the state of research, evidence, and probability of outcomes given different projection scenarios. It's not a particularly long or difficult read and you'll come out the other side far more informed than you were before.

"Quality content on the web exists forever. I don’t think NYTimes is going to die any soon, neither is Kalzumeus or the Nieman Journalism Lab. These sites are going to live on forever, it’s not like they forget to renew domains every year. If they dabble a bit with the URL structure, it’s pretty easy to dig back the content I love by just Googling for the relevant keywords."
I think ysavir is making a different distinction. Imagine you talk to three people.

Person 1 says "I don't believe in global warming, because it was unusually cold in my home town this winter"

Person 2 says "I believe in global warming, because it was unusually hot in my home town this summer"

Person 3 says "I believe in global warming, because it is the consensus of climate scientists"

Assume we agree that person 1 is wrong, and person 3 is right. But is person 2 right because they reach the same conclusion as person 3, or wrong because they use the same reasoning as person 1?
The world would be better served by Apple getting out of the hardware business and just selling OSX, allowing it to run on any x86 architecture without all of the Hackintosh bull.

Any person working in an affordable bar, restaurant or shop knows that. Because they often don't have the choice.

Working low-wage, unskilled customer service sucks, but offers important life lessons about the way other people conduct themselves, and your own options to conduct yourself in the face of behavior you don't like. The best thing about high-school jobs is they offer concentrated streams of some of the interaction types necessary to becoming a well-adjusted person.

You either learn to stick to principled action while other people's behavior roll off you like water off the proverbial duck, or grow up to be the kind of person that thinks societal tut-tutting of 13 year olds on twitter an important moral cause.
In my experience with some conservatives, it seems that they believe global warming is happening but they are skeptical of how effective left-leaning politicians can be in combating climate change. Therefore it is not worth conceding political turf on other issues if they will see little change in the rate of global warming.

Interesting once you start to take into account other countries contributions to global warming. The United States is relatively low among developed economies when it comes to emissions per GDP : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_ratio_of_... .

I am really not impressed by any sides efforts to combat global warming.

Of course this will be met by criticism from HN, but I would love to see more discussion beyond conservatives are anti-science radicals who want to kill the earth.

I think some people are also just burnt out on the overemphasised message and wildly off-base predictions from the early days.

I don't know about anyone else, but when I was in school in the 90's and 00's we were told half of the landmass would be underwater by 2010. Now I know climate science is more subtle than that but I'd not be surprised if some people came away with the message that Scientists are just foaming at the mouth for no reason.

Gave up on the mac pro years ago. I replaced my unkillable 2008 Mac pro with a lovely Fractal Design R5 case, a stonking 5930k overclocked at 4.5Gz on a 'posh' ASUS Mobo with 64GB of DDR.

It's a 'hackintosh', sure enough, but it's fantastic. First time in 30 years I don't own a mac, that's telling. Their fault, too.
What are the chances the new Mac Pro will simply be a smaller, higher-density form factor of the cheese grater Mac Pro?

Also glad to hear the Mac Mini's not being killed off.
That's a dumb analogy. Bullying is one-sidedly bad, hence there being a bully-victim relationship which is non-consensual.

Content owners have - in principle, legally backed - the right to distribute their content in any way they see fit, and content consumers have the option to refuse that content if the format it is presented in is un-acceptable to them, this is a consensual producer-consumer relationship.

If you feel 'bullied' to consume content with DRM the problem lies with you, you do not have an automatic right to content in a particular format. If you do not agree with that the solutions are to be found in the political realm, not in the technical realm.

> One person involved with the Linux Foundation

...there are a lot of people involved with the Linux Foundation, what didn't help in this case is that the one person involved with the Linux Foundation who came up with this piece of Ballmer-era nostalgia is the Linux Foundation's Senior Director of Open Source Consulting.

It's a pretty major PR blunder. It rubs people the wrong way because it basically repeats the anti-Linux arguments which used to be promoted by a lot of companies that were heavily-invested in proprietary software -- some of which are Linux Foundation members today.

The terms aren't exactly innovative. 20 years ago or so they were used liberally (and, I think, coined) by a particularly disliked company from Redmond, and their marketing material (thinly-veiled as whitepapers, sometimes from partner companies) read pretty much like this guy's piece.

This is basically a blast from the past, except 20 years ago we'd see it on Microsoft's website under some Get the Facts stamp, not on the Linux Foundation's website.

It's common in lots of places outside the US. You have a few choices:

1. Live with parents

Not something most people want to do past a certain age.

2. Live with friends

People seem to be moving abroad more these days leaving you with friends all over the world, but possibly none currently in the city you live in.

3. Live with significant other

Fine until the relationship ends and someone needs to move.

4. Live with strangers

You meet new people, if you don't like them it's easy to just move somewhere else and try again.

The '6 of us in a 3 bed' thing is insane and unrelated to the living with strangers point.

Where are you from that sharing a home with strangers is such a strange concept? Who have you lived with instead? If you were able to afford your own place you're either very lucky or live somewhere very inexpensive because even in smaller cities that's not an option for most people.

Cache: https://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:MK6zOl...
As a developer who somehow survived the times of frame, imagemap, and table-based layouts, I can promise you, they all had their own issues. Well before semantics, developers and designers needed CSS just to make things possible.

But you're focussing on people and healthy ones at that. Semantics matter a lot less there because you can style anything to look like anything else. But somebody with a screen reader literally needs semantics for accessibility. You set your page up as a table and their screen reader is going to iterate through it like a table.

And things like microformats are soft-semantics that allow your devices to explicitly know that "this thing here is an address", "that's a phone number you can click", and there's a whole bunch of formats for declaring embed data rather than making a service infer it from your actual content.

But if you just can't be bothered, do yourself and your users a favour. Use a framework (eg Bootstrap). It won't be perfect but it'll stop you using tables for layout and that's already a lot better. I can't believe it won't also look better.

When you rent a hotel room you get permission to enter and sleep there, but are also restricted to not destroy the room. However the restriction already existed before you paid, so the change between the owner and you only exist in added permission. No one is allowed to destroy property of someone else so those restrictions are not additional part of the transaction.

GPL do not add restrictions. It is purely permissions given over what already exist. In theory one could rewrite the GPL license text to be lines of "I grant you permission to do X", and it would still have the same effect.
