Hm. I just got driven home from the bar for $4. It was an uber pool, but for the whole ten minute drive, nobody else was in the car. This was in silicon valley, a very mature market.

This sort of thing is super common, where I get a deep discount on a 'pool' ride but I end up riding alone. The drivers tell me that they get a regular rate (on top of whatever the bonuses are) which is per-mile. The guy tonight said he thought he was making like $7 for the ride in question, just on the mileage.

I... am pretty sure they are losing money on many pool rides.

Going by literal definitions, an officer tackling a man out of the way of a bus would technically be a "physical assault". But if your headline was "Officer physically assaults man", people are going to have a much different impression.

I've upgraded the same 2010 hardware from 10.6 to 10.12. Installed a GTX 1060 and now I have a 4k-capable machine. You couldn't really do that (either install 10.12 or drive 4k) with a 2010 mac mini or imac, but you would have saved yourself the cummulative ~2 weeks of installation I've put into this over the years.

Console-level graphics can be demanding; my wild guess is, this was their compromise to allow 60fps + complex scenes + OK battery life.

Makes more sense to me as a factor than panel cost/availability (like you say, there are cheap devices with denser screens) or some hard CPU/GPU limitation (since it can output 1080p docked).

Maybe in a year or two, with a revised GPU or the next process node or whatever, they do a Switch HD that delivers the better resolution, maintaining battery life. (Or they go for no-glasses 3D like the 3DS. That would be pretty counter to mobile gadget trends, but this is Nintendo.)

Yeah, I agree that the beginning feels very eugenics-y, but it evolves into something that is in some ways a more crass, pessimistic version of Wall-E.

>> Why not let people choose to give their money? Why vote to force them to give their money?

Taxes are not your money. They are, by their very definition, money you owe the government. Meaning they are the government's money. They just happen to temporarily enter your pocket before leaving it again for their rightful owner.

To answer your question though, charity is not a substitute for taxation because charity is not scalable.
Trump’s world: The new nationalism
Sounds to me like you're saying the UK could end up being held hostage against its scheduled, voluntary, legal exit from a cooperation it joined in 1973 with full assurances that it would always have the option of leaving.
It's really easy nowadays (if you have the right hardware), you can directly install the official combo update and then it usually only requires one extra reboot to update the graphics driver and possibly repatch sound driver for me, but that whole thing is automated and takes 2 mins extra for every point update every 2 months.

I've been running a 4790k + 980Ti since 10.9 came out, always kept it at the newest release and it's given me much less trouble than Windows in that timeframe.

As long as you have the typical well supported desktop hardware it works really well (intel + nvidia or select amd cards), only if you want it on a laptop or officially unsupported hardware then it quickly becomes a giant pain.

I had no idea that's what the black bar was for. It's a nice tribute, but barring any sort of explanation, it's kind of... odd? Somebody died, so we're going to have a thin black line at the top of the page? As a UI feature it doesn't bother me, but it's just so disjointed in its meaning.

(Also, I just took a look at the hacker news HTML... Table layouts? Spacer gifs? Center tag? Holy crap, this page is from the 90s. It's composed like an HTML email for Outlook Express '98)

What. I've seen issues with Homebrew at every company/team I've worked with since it came out. The solution is always the same: Use vagrant and chef/puppet for your development environment.

Meanwhile, apt packages are incredibly stable, install the same way every time, and are exactly what you'd run on the server anyway. You can use PPAs if you need bleeding edge versions.

Bitcoin is quite trivial to take down (spam with transactions because clearing rate is so slow). Also remember that the core promise of Bitcoin is decentralization not anonymity and anyone with resources amd will like the NSA should be able to comfortably trace back users unless there's unusually good opsec (even Tor merely increases the cost of unmasking).

Re #1: Yes, maybe I could get the main use cases to approximate OS X well. But (a) I don't want to learn how multiple windowing systems work and how to script them, and (b) then to fine tune them so corner cases are covered: how to integrate Gnome and KDE applications so their menu bars have the same shortcuts for the same operations, use the same font, have the same DPI scaling, etc... It's a never-ending set of options to fiddle with, little cohesive documentation, and no objective criteria to decide when they've been fiddled enough. Not saying it's a fault of Linux, but that's what we get in a open source ecosystem where the kernel team doesn't dictate how the desktop works.

That's a good idea! I'm not even remotely sure how to do that. I tackled this project as a way to really dig in and learn Go, and I'm still working my way through it. I'm slowly learning more idiomatic ways of writing Go, but I'm not even sure how I'd go about extending the game with Lua or anything else. Got any resources on that kind of thing, or could you give a high-level description of how that might work, so I can explore the possibility?

I definitely need some scripting ability. For example, it would be nice if I could script mobs to perform certain actions during quests, something that I'd have to hard-code in Go right now.

Similarly, for Amex in the UK: you can use your card abroad, but they charge you 3% (!) on top of their own exchange rate - even for USD transactions.

What's worse - if your foreign transaction is in any other currency than USD, they convert twice: once from the original currency into USD, and then again from USD into GBP. They only charge you 3% once, but you do suffer from their internal, presumably self-serving exchange rates twice.

This is in an environment where there are many UK credit cards offering fee-free foreign transactions at the "true" (no spread) exchange rate, and many more offering true exchange rate + less than 1%.

The Amex offering is laughably poor in comparison.

> where a completely clean start was made at the Hackathon?

Most of the really impressive hackathon projects aren't created from scratch. The implementation of code might happen during allotted time but the team, idea, design, and even implementation details have already been thought out ahead of time. Other times, the projects are simply a proof of concept of how things "will work once built". The data used is static but made to appear dynamic in the demos.

Yes, there are times were really impressive things are built by talented people but this is not the norm.

> However, is there any reason they just don't go to Linux?

One of the many reasons is desktop Linux has a terrible and well deserved reputation. Most people don't have any great yearning in their loins to switch operating systems so they would prefer to keep using what works for them. Desktop Linux would have to be a lot better than macOS to get people to even consider trying it out.

>When I book hotels through Amex's FHR portal

Every time I went to book with my amex platinum, the hotels they offered were way overpriced for the area. I can't help but suspect you were already paying suite prices the moment you decided to book with amex. Either that or I'm just unlucky in the cities I pick to test with.
That "just as easy" option with a private jet or Uber is an assumption.

There a crew resting hour regulations that might have prevented the crew from operating the next flight had they driven, and union contracts that stipulate how deadheading crew can be transported.

Again, all of those might be renegotiated at some point, but that doesn't mean there is an easy obvious alternative at hand now every time a pax refuses to deplane.

Putting things in the bug database is officially transferring responsibility for the issue to the management or the team. Give me permission to work on this thing.

It's a cop-out, and unfortunately a hallmark of a class of developer most of us miss. It took working with roughly the same group of people for four+ years, twice, before I even noticed them. It's probably two groups with similar symptoms which I think contributed to my confusion.

First group are the fakers. They are people who want to appear high minded and will agree with all of your plans for reducing tech debt, except the first time there is any schedule tightness they'll throw it all away and claim that they wanted to do more, But The Deadline. You can spot these people because the next time there is schedule slack due to requirements not being ready, they will complain about there not being anything to do. Meanwhile their legitimately conscientious peers are already 12 hours into some refactor that the boss didn't tell them not to work on.

The second are Flow junkies. There are people on your team that do heavy lifting. Big rework, new architecture, they can do amazing things, occasionally startlingly fast (doing judo on the code to make it do things you didn't think it could).

Problem is, they are so addicted to The Flow that they have to wrestle dragons even if they don't exist. They can take the code far in directions nobody else understands, which must be because they are smart and you feel a little imposter syndrome.

But what really happens is that they make the code in their own mental image because they can, and that stacks the deck so that they are >3x more productive in that code than everybody else. This creates the 10x myth, because they are actually about 3x more productive in arbitrary code, but 10x more productive in code they've arranged so only they can really follow it. In the middle of the Flow stopping to clean up pesky things like argument consistency might break the Flow,

Their tell is that they often "don't have time" to fix annoying inconsistencies or bugs in their code, expecting people to avoid them, and yet they seem to have plenty of time to reinvent the wheel, writing frameworks or event processing systems when we already have tons of those to chose from. Because those Big Problems have the sort of time and space in them to both require and allow for a Flow State to happen.

I know this type because I'm an ex Flow junkie. I spent too much time studying ergonomics and realized that just because I could follow the code easily didn't mean it was great code. Though I could achieve Flow while doing truly annoying bookkeeping refractors, over a long period of time I found it harder to achieve the Flow state. Maybe I got old or maybe I was less motivated or maybe open offices killed it, who knows,

So I subscribed to the philosophy of, "a rising tide lifts all boats", and am just fine being a 3x developer who makes the code and process more productive for others.
I might. I love what Tesla is doing but I sure hope there will be competitors (not to take anything away from Lucid, Rimac, Nissan etc). Right now, Tesla is in a league of its own and until the setbacks reported in recent months Google and Apple seemed more suited for competing with Tesla than the traditional car manufacturers and the tiny new EV companies.
What made you leave? Did you miss european culture ( or sports on TV or anything like that)? How did you deal with the time difference between Europe and NZ?

I've seen the "Acer Ferrari One" laptop, and an Apple Car is the same kind of "wrong." I think Apple might have been able to sell a car if it had come to market five or six years ago.

A lot of memories pop into my mind with this article including unrelated stuff as the first try of Linux, kernel 1.2.8, and the "how to setup the CDROM reader attached to soundcard ?" question.

To go back to the subject, I remember to have used a "driver" to free up some additional memory, but I can't remember the name and how it worked. May be I found it reading Imphobia ? The name may starts with a R.

There was the unreal mode / flat mode too : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unreal_mode

No, if you start low, people might basically implicitly "conspire" to keep their hands down, and when the first "breaks" the cartel at some high price, all hands will shoot up.

I think Apple may be able to make this distinction as well. You portray them as an incompetent organization based on one defect. And, of course, car manufacturers routinely put out products with life threatening defects (i.e. Takata), so it's not like they're immune from fault either.

This is the exact reason I keep my Amex. I have yet to have a bad customer service experience with them, and I've asked for some pretty ridiculous stuff in retrospect.

Every time I sign up for a new card (google credit I'm looking at you) the customer experience is just absolutely horrible. I mean rip-you-off type horrible - where you enter a bank account for autopay, and they then charge you late fees for 2 months because "our terms of service say adding an autopay account may take up to 90 days". The other card I've signed up for in the last 18mo was a store credit card to get 20% off a one time purchase - and they couldn't even get that right. I had to have my lawyer call and threaten to sue before they finally credited the proper amount and closed my account. It's just ridiculous what most folks seem to put up with.

I've tried to cancel my Amex since I pay a yearly fee which I find stupid. But each time I deal with any other credit card company I pretty much realize Amex is in a league of it's own.

If they start to dip on customer service it's all over for them. That is the only thing keeping them alive on life support at this point, but that's really all it will take as long as their competition is so utterly anti-consumer.

I'm starting to avoid doing business with companies that don't take Amex. It's just not worth the hassle of dealing with anyone else. My Costco membership is no more due to this.

That all said - it's just a stupid way to pay for stuff. I'd prefer to use cash all things considered, but unfortunately that's generally not possible this day in age.
