I am from Mexico and live in Mexico City.

To clarify a little bit, the newspaper is from a northern state. And yes, things in the northern states are rather violent and dangerous. But to be honest the really bad state is the one close to the capital, Estado de México which has many violent crime, crime against women, etc. We even joke that is like Mad Max fury road. Yes that bad.

Yet people go to work, to school and carry on.

As everything there are many sides and conflicting interests. Yet violence and crime are just one more bad thing to worry, being traffic and low income being other stuff you have to take into consideration.

As tourists you could always go to many other places instead of Ciudad Juárez or Tijuana since those two have become cities for degenerate people from other countries to abuse and commit atrocities and get away with it for the only reason that they have the dollars.
I'm no LF fanboy, but the tone of this article doesn't really help any cause. I think the key question would be to ask what percentage of the funds LF receives are effectively used for FOSS purposes. If it turns out some of those funds are being wasted on having FOSS conferences in exotic places, followed by karaoke in Seoul with "Linux partners" then it'd be good to expose things like that. A cursory observation indicates most of LF's management aren't coders so that makes me worry whether this is a management-heavy "charity".
So does anyone know where to find stats on student debt amounts outstanding, the maturity schedules, and the proportion of variable rate to fixed rate debt? I'm curious to see how vulnerable the country is to default risk should interest rates move upward or some other shock to the economy take place.
Not sure on the specifics of an 18-month-old MBP vs. this list, but nothing is guaranteed.

• Audio input & output

• Bluetooth

• Keyboard backlight

• Suspend & Hibernation

• Touch ID

• Wi-Fi
They tend to run worse than equivalent ThinkPads though, mostly due to prioprietary nature of power saving APIs and thus you lose battery life (and quiet).

Every line is self-explanatory, blocks define clearly where some directive is applied and where not, you just have to read some well-written docs in order to spot the right directive. And this came after Apache configuration mess, when almost nothing did better. Maybe lighttpd, but lighttpd was missing of some essential web server options.
I heard there is a bit of a tech scene in Pai. There wasn't a few years ago when I was there but that is somewhere I could imagine working remotely from.
The original iMac, you never would’ve thought as remotely touching pro uses.

Not true at all, it was G3 almost as fast as Apple's then PowerMac. The only "problem" was that USB was slow compared to SCSI.

But I used it for PRO work for years. Great value for the money
But that requires scrutiny as well. Just because you're paying does not mean that they are not profiting off of your data.

How to Understand the Balance Between Learning and Progress
I was rooting for those guys and I'm still following their releases, but I can't see it ever being accepted by the masses.
Although I completely agree with you, I took it as a challenge to come up with something that follows the above rules and is still devious. Here is my 1 min of effort attempt: https://ibb.co/giqgDv
I am really curious what Apple feel constitutes "pro" apps. "Software development" is mentioned, but the general sentiment from Hacker News and developers I have talked to seems to be that Apple do not understand their "Pro" audience, at least when it comes to the Macbook Pro (granted, it's a different beast than Mac Pro).
Thats really cool. Especially completely analog.

In a older thread about asteroids, I learned some older arcade games there were these things called XY monitors which were used by early video games (Asteroids, battle zone, starters, tempest..), which drew on the screen by moving a beam around the screen and turning on and off. Moving slower means things are brighter. Similar to an oscilloscope.

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13981733

There is a youtube video where someone takes a modern laser projector and recreates asteroids similar to the beam moving on the oscilloscope (Though programmed using c).
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FkHjG759ABY&t=774s

There were some interesting links in response to my comments: including an xy monitor manual.

Terrorism has been fueled by two things:

* Intervention in other countries affairs.
* Mass immigration

You can't see how nationalism would ease those? You can't see how nationalism would reduce exploitation of workers, multinationals not paying taxes etc?

Nationalism isn't about exerting your dominance on other nations, it's about being self sufficient, about NOT interfering in other countries affairs. It's about not importing millions of cheap laborers, but instead training and employing people who already live here.

> I am afraid that nationalism will lead to decreased understanding of and less acceptance towards cultural differences.

You have two populations - one which considers gay people to be inherently evil, and advocates for them to be killed or at the very least locked up. And a second population which contains a reasonable number of gay people.

In this scenario, which is the better solution? To let these two ideologically opposed cultures live separately, in mostly happiness, or to push these cultures together to create massive conflict?

Nationalism has nothing to do with "acceptance" of other cultures and differences. The opposite - It's about celebrating and cherishing those cultural differences while they still exist. Unfortunately, globalization and mass migration is stomping out culture at an alarming pace, making sure all countries tend towards the same.

edit: replied here because account is throttled due to dissenting opinion... ;)

I'm not sure you need scientifically peer reviewed papers to see that bombing other countries, and then letting all the people you just bombed come live in your country, is going to fuel terrorism.

If you need peer reviewed scientific evidence for the above, then I'm sorry.

It's never too late for me to look at potentially better alternatives. I would never work myself into a situation where switching to an alternative major OS would be extremely hard. But sure, depending on what you work with, that can of course happen -- issues like software unavailable on said target platform. Disregarding that though, I prefer not to close doors by free will.
I shudder to think of the price of the iMac Pro.

As a matter of fact, this is what Sir Berners Lee is working on right now at MIT.

https://solid.mit.edu/

The issue is not storing the data, just like "email" doesn't store data. It's just a protocol and a data format. This makes it interoperable across whichever industry player wants to spring up and compete for your service.

Ex:

Don't like gmail? Go to ProtonMail. And you don't lose the ability to interact with people who do use Gmail.

Don't like Facebook? Go to Ello. But now you've lost your entire network.

The decentralized web will be built on data formats and protocols that allow you to take your data with you and force companies to compete with the quality of their service, not the size of their network.

I think (with no basis in reputable source) it's more just that Amazon see a large potential market in Europe that current Regions can't cover. There're also possibly local data laws / policies that mean not every company could use one of the existing Regions.
a pro machine that demanded placement on your desk, not under your desk

... and that's how Apple lost the professionals. The desk is a clean space for a huge monitor / keyboard / mouse, and MY work. It's good to make a workstation that looks nice, but it's ten times as good to make one that's flexible and powerful. The only people who want that workstation on the desktop are the designers at Apple, and stroking your own ego isn't on the path to making a great product.

Every great designer knows that form follows function.

China is the world's biggest investor in solar technology and hopes to grow its solar power to 20GW by 2020. [1]

China forced all taxi drivers in Beijing to use electric cars, a desperate and very controversial move. [2]

China is highly subsidizing its high-speed rail companies, bleeding billions of dollars per year, to cut other transportation methods. [3]

I am not saying to follow their example (some of their actions are probably not the best investments, environmentally speaking), but saying they do not have a real plan is quite untrue.

Depends. When those lines work, it's all good. But as soon as they don't, you are on board on a trip to find the source of the magic river, unfolding abstractions one layer after another on a young tech (aka badly documented and with few 3rd party tutorials).

I agree that Fedora does look very nice these days, but if they used to be bleeding edge then it's unsurprising that people still think this way since it's always hard to fix a bad reputation. First impressions count.

Don't Forget to Kick the Tires – On Automatic Monitoring
Oh, the irony. They website is now down, with an nginx error message.
Missing the point though. It's not just the hardware, it's the trust.

A lot of pros will be thinking "So why should I buy New MacPro if they're only going to let the line stagnate again?"
"pre-paid for the life of the device"

Sounds a like breach of contract.
Their utilities (Multibeast, Unibeast, Kextbeast...) are well-though and easy to use, but it worth noting that Tonymacx86 doesn't have any plans to open source them -- you have to trust him (no one seems to know his real name, mostly for legal reasons related to Apple I think) to execute binaries with root rights on your fresh OS, or go the Vanilla (and harder) way.

Foo & bar are terms found in programming used for generic placed holder references.

It originates from the military slang FUBAR (fucked up beyond all recognition/any repair/all reason) and dates from World War II.

The Oxford English Dictionary lists Yank, the US Army Weekly magazine (1944, 7 Jan. p. 8) as its earliest citation: "The FUBAR squadron. FUBAR? It means 'Fouled Up Beyond All Recognition'.
"Easily" is the key word in that first sentence. Even the deepest infrastructure work, short of actually having to touch hardware, can be done remotely and the people doing it can be among the hardest to outsource/replace. It just requires a bit more skill, effort, and tooling, but employers - even those known for a generally high level of colocation - are willing to pay for an accommodate that.
FTFA:

> Apple’s research shows that 15 percent of all Mac users use at least one “pro” app frequently. These are apps for things like music creation, video editing, graphic design, and software development.

> Schiller, on Apple’s own pro apps: “I just want to reiterate our strong commitment there, as well. Both with Final Cut Pro 10 and Logic 10, there are teams on those software products that are completely dedicated to delivering great pro software to our customers.
I see, how am I supposed to know that? is it listed anywhere in HN?
I'm curious about who they surveyed and the methods they used to reach the survey takers.

I have to think that there is some bias in the surveying methods themselves. I don't think that strongly conservative southern voters would be thumbing through a Nature publication in their free time like a liberal intellectual might.

Overall though, I'm with you. Around here its become a foregone conclusion that this is happening but I don't necessarily see many steps taken by the populace to alleviate the symptoms.
I really have the opposite impression. I don't have any experience with macOS, but font rendering is So Much Better on linux than on Windows, even without freetype-freeworld.
I have read quite a few confusing things about new MBPs. I'll probably stay put for another year before bailing out of the Apple ecosystem (aka distortion field).
When the iMac was introduced, I worked at an Apple dealer. I can still remember one client who used to do video production work on an iMac. There may have been others but I distinctly remember one.
Apple should not lose focus of their roots. They need to remain committed to desktops and laptops. With Ryzen there are now tons more options.

While the iPhone and iPad businesses are solid, they can be cyclical and nowhere near as robust as their core faithful mac users who have stuck with them for decades.

Few professionals are going to muck about with a hackintosh and I mean no disrespect to those who muck about. I have done it myself, and its great as a curiosity and to learn but at a point you just need to get things done and have proper seamless hardware support for all the peripherals for pro level work.
have a colleague from Paris suburbs - he regularly mentions how easy it is to obtain AK-47 there for some 300-400 eur. that's a battle rifle which ammo goes through walls, cars and personal armor like a knife through butter.

the fact that many criminals are armed doesn't mean they are stupid - using them (especially stronger caliber) is last resort since things escalate quickly afterwards and survival chances are slim
Many terms do. Socialists and communists still call themselves those terms despite McCarthyism and the red scare, the term queer is still used despite the fact that it was used as an insult for a very long time, the n-word's reappropriation despite its horrible history, and too many other examples for me to list.

Perhaps it's time for the FSF and its ilk to wear 'viral' as a badge of honor, instead of playing the semantics game.
At this point it seems that big US companies are too afraid to invest in Africa.

Which is kind of strange, since they weren't afraid to invest in China or Iraq.

On top of this, funnily enough, the Chinese aren't afraid and by the time the US companies get going...

Not all, but a lot of ppl use the GPU for games, 3d modelling , machine learning or encoding vids. Enough that adding the chip removes a lot of complaints.

Also, historically Intel 3d drivers haven't been great.

If you work on the drivers (again you can because you only have to support one config) you can switch bt the two and get pretty good batt usage.

Finally, this is one of the big complaints many mac users have.
Wierd, I read it as "We will work to change your mind about the product so you'll want to change that 1 star to a 5 star."

My biggest gripe with Fedora is Gnome. Modern Gnome has the worst (out of the box) window management I've ever encountered. Its default alt-tab behaviour is insane (you have to use alt-tab + arrow keys to navigate multiple terminal instances because it automagically groups things in an unusable manner). Virtual Desktops used to better, now they're more basic and less versatile. When my touchpad is disabled, Gnome somehow thinks this is a mistake and enables it against my will, with no option to disable it.

Yes, there are workarounds for all these issues. My favourite workaround is installing awesomewm and refusing to touch Gnome.

Trump Administration Considers Far-Reaching Steps for ‘Extreme Vetting’
Milk is a funny thing, being a rich medium for bacteria.

Take a pint of fresh-from-the-cow milk and a pint of your typical store-bought pasteurized milk and leave them open on the counter for 2 or 3 days at room temperature. The former will turn into a tart, pleasant smelling mix of curds and whey I'd be willing to taste and possibly consume while the latter will be a smelly, gag-inducing spoiled mess that will almost certainly make you ill.

I've witnessed this first-hand.

Raw milk is loaded with beneficial bacteria that can be naturally culture itself to various ends, more often then not out-competing environmental bad bacterial. Pasteurized milk, devoid of most bacteria to start, will (most often) be overrun by bacteria that will make people ill. I does not surprise me that our "normal" milk is a non-trivial vector of food-borne illness.
