If you're looking for 13 inch, standard HD screen with long battery life, and all you need is browser and SSH functionality, you might think about trying a Chromebook. The SSH functionality comes as a Google-made extension [1]. The CPU and RAM specs are usually lower than you mention, but in my experience the machine runs fine for video calls, Netflix, etc.

> * 1/32k shutter speed seems also quite fast. I wonder what sort of new photos such fast shutter speeds enable.

You can shoot with wide apertures in direct sunlight without using ND filters. Fuji has had this for years now, with much more rolling shutter of course.

Now that I wrote that out, doesn't sound like much. Still, it's been nice not to play around with the filters.
Facebook has close to 2 billion monthly active users (MAU). Instagram and WhatsApp – both owned by Facebook – each has around half a billion MAU.

Your comment reads as "nobody goes there anymore, it's too crowded".
The part about making it part of your daily routine is spot-on. I cycled to work for 15 years, and felt much healthier with lower stress.

Then my employer moved from 6 miles away to 12, and have two kids in elementary school. Now I feel like shit, overweight, and guess I'll die younger.
>Do unicode URLs actually provide any real value?

No. They are very very rarely used even in countries that do not use the Latin alphabet. Given the risk that phishing poses I don't think it's worth the risk.
X1 Carbon series works great with Linux. Its a little bigger than 11", but still very light and slim and a nice display. I use a Gen 1 (2012) with 8GB ram. Installed originally Ubuntu 12.04, upgraded to 14.04 and 16.04. All worked great. I presently run Arch on it which was also easy to install and works great.
The problem seems to be that giving money does not solve problems all the time, and will not make everyone friendly towards you. US and EU have given billions if not trillions to Turkey, and it's still descending into dictatorship. It's regressing from a progressive society into a conservative one, probably more interested in religious laws than exploring space.
A counter-suggestion here: my girlfriend and I just tried the Leesa.

It's an amazing piece of materials science, and it feels luxurious as hell, but it was waaaaay too soft for both of us. She woke up in considerable pain. Also, it was pretty hot.

Fortunately, the Leesa customer service people were awesome, and they immediately took it away again and refunded us.

> Why is having a huge cluster of GPUs/CPUs so important for AlphaGo? We humans only using about 100 Watts of power. We don't need megawatts of datacenter power.

This argument loses a lot of its bite after AlphaGo beats the top humans.

You could argue that you still need lots of energy for training: Even a 100 watt human needs to live for 30/40 years before he's a top Go player. So it's not unreasonable that accelerating the process might use more power. And if you have all that power for training, you might as well use it for inference.

You can probably build a bad Go playing machine in much less than 100 watts. There might be a way to extract something more power-efficient from AlphaGo, but it doesn't seem to be important to anyone.

You should try a chromebook plus or pro from Samsung. I recently bought one and I'm in love with it. I use it even for work except actual coding.
What you describe is a functional prototype not a finished application.

A functional prototype is software that implements its functional requirements (e.g: features) but not its non-functional requirements (maintainability, stability, scalability, performance, configuration, monitoring, security, etc.)

What is "a lot of baloney" is people selling functional prototypes for the price of a finished application, or not knowing the difference.
I had similar, terrible issues with my gaming rig when I let Windows auto-update from 7 to 10. I found that there is an option in system update to "restore" or "auto-fix" the OS. You might start by trying that.

I found that I needed to let the entire thing be wiped (including all software) and re-installed in order to get it working. A long time and complete pain in the ass, but it's much better now.

Just as a piece of warning if you go that route: MS decided that my legit MS office keys were "Pirated" because they were old and wanted me to upgrade (after telling me that it was a valid key 3 hours before) so I told them to pound sand and I was going to buy MAC's from now on, and I'm not a fan of Apple at all. They offered me nothing, but the chance to give them more money.
I was initially excited but this was a let-down:

Yeah, The Ad Company of the twentyfirst century makes an adblocker. I think I'd just deactivate it on day one and use an adblock plugin instead.
> But if you used 68000, Z80, 6502 chips as a co-processor to an 8088 CPU or Intel X86 you could assign tasks to them to free up the main CPU and even doing parallel processing.

Parallel programming is already possible using a CPU with multiple cores, which I think Intel would love to add more of if developers found usages for them that end users love. No necessity for a CPU using a different instruction set, which just makes programming this more complicated.

EDIT: And if there are active threads that require much less CPU power on some core(s), for modern CPUs the respective core will already enter energy saving states aggressively (giving lots of the advantages that adding low power cores has).
Do a view source on that page to get some lovely 90's era HTML nostalgia. (If you're wondering why the in-page menu behaves like that... it's because they're images, swapped out for their hover state with JavaScript, with the off state actually an animated GIF!)
I love riding my bike, but the stats are quite grim for road deaths AND injuries

You may say its a false equivalency, but there are 33,000 gun deaths (suicides/homicides) in the US every year

>It was never built for that. It's not even a fair comparison.

No, but it means I can write relatively computationally intensive server side code in JavaScript rather than having to switch to C and use an FFI. It's always nice to have decent performance, even if it's irrelevant most of the time for web programming.

Erlang is great but its ecosystem is tiny compared to Node's, and as a programming language it's at least as quirky as JavaScript.
Shifman. Try avoiding synthetic materials. I'm told they tend not to breathe. (Organic) Fleece mattress toppers can also make a huge difference.
Except that this assumes there are no legitimate IDN domains on non-IDN TLDs. Considering how few IDN TLDs there are, I would wager that most IDN domains don't live on these TLDs.

However it seems they don't flat out block all IDN domains but only those containing the homoglyphs. IUIC they also don't block domains containing Cyrillic homoglyphs alongside other Cyrillic characters.

This seems somewhat reasonable. I still think rendering Cyrillic in a way that makes alphabet mismatches more obvious would be a better and more future-proof solution.
This article doesn't mention a breakthrough in solid state LIDAR design, as article you link to does, but rather that they have an actual product ready-ish:

> Velodyne today announced a solid-state automotive lidar ranging system that the company will demonstrate in a few months, release in test kits later this year, and mass produce at its new megafactory in San Jose, Calif., in 2018. The estimated price per unit is in the hundreds of dollars.
> V8 is a JIT compiler, which incorporates a runtime and a compiler.

So it's a compiler which incorporates a compiler? Compilerception much?

Seriously though: Can I tell V8 to compile my JS and tell me any errors found before I deploy it to production and runtime? Yes or no?

Just because V8 internally JIT-compiles the JS-code to something eventually executable which the machine can run doesn't change the fact that it's interpreter and execution-engine (also known as a "runtime") for Javascript code.

Just like Python and all those other platforms you listed as not being "compilers" (in which case you're absolutely right).
It's the same exact ppl working on it. The CTO now runs a ton of teams at MSFT. They just cloned the app with a different backend and a few new features. The only thing that changes is the brand. It's like accompli. https://www.linkedin.com/in/fowlerchad/ - runs a ton of things now

Christian is an EIR - https://www.linkedin.com/in/christianreber/

The rest of the accompli and sunrise teams are around, too.
You forgot the steps were all the other adblock businesses get disabled by default, then they get impossible to implement/update. Step 1 can already be profitable in itself if done "right".
Works here. Are you behind a broken proxy?
Maybe make added items default selected?
Unless you want your PC to sleep and wake back up. That still takes a while to get resolved with every GPU apparently.
It becomes "less" scary if you remember that many people already think that "web" means "Facebook+Instagram app on iPhone".
Oh shit, they are in fact germans.
If you have a Samsung phone, the stock browser also supports adblockers (you can get many from the play store).
I'm far from an expert on CPU architectures, but I suppose there are diminishing returns. Most of my functions use less than 16 values, and those that do may well iterate over more than 128.

Also you're probably aware that modern CPUs have many more physical registers, they just don't expose them all at the same time.

E.g. AMD Zen physically has 168 integer and 160 floating-point registers. Of which you can only use 16 at a time, but to my uninformed eye that looks like a reasonable trade-off.

(Disclaimer: Cynical Plug)

This is exactly the sort of AI project that I'm working on: being able to recognize patterns even with lots of noise or incomplete information. I tried a show HN submission [1] but there was absolutely no interest. :(

Question: Does anybody know if google is yet at this level? Would google's AI be able to recognize the dalmatian?

I think my AI algorithm would be able to recognize the dog but I'm still not at that stage yet. Really need to get more computer power before that. Thanks for the image though, you've given me some really good testing ideas.

There is TodoPaper, which seems to be a clone of TaskPaper for Windows. http://widefido.com/products/todopaper/
Ben Thomson has actually written about it previously:

https://stratechery.com/2017/manifestos-and-monopolies/
I don't think so. Npm is included with node and is very simple to use.
> in the README [that it is] not for production but ... who tell me they have only ever run Node.js this way. What that tells me is there is quite a trend towards ... a lot of what gets written never goes into production.

No, it is worse than that I would have thought. The cynic in me (who is more often right then wrong) suggests that is means there is a lot of "proof of concept" level of code out there in production environments potentially running important things.
My todo app of choice is asana (http://asana.com).

You can start from a simple todo list... but each task can have sub-tasks, dates, attachments, etc. Meaning that you can add hierarchy and additional information if you need it.

It also has mobile apps, at least for iOS and Android.
According to Microsoft’s announcement, To-Do starts you off in a screen called “My Day” which offers a list of items that need to get done today.

While Wunderlist allows you to see the "Today" view first it's not forced ... it's flexible enough to let people manage their To-do lists in a number of different ways. I have a bunch of general To-do lists in Wunderlist including open-ended ones and ones that I duplicate every week (marking the old version as done) and slowly modify. The "My Day" default does not work for me.

The other thing that was great about Wunderlist is the developers really paid attention to Mac and iOS users. I found that the Mac version was better than Windows in a few areas - specifically the ability to expand a note to a bigger view and a lack of buggy behavior when modifying a note (confirmed in Windows 10 but not fixed by Wunderlist, now we know why). In the new setup, Mac/iOS/Android will clearly take a back seat to Windows:

As many users realized, some platforms do not yet support To-Do, including Mac, iPad and Android tablet. List sharing is also not available. But Microsoft says these will roll out in time along with other integrations with Microsoft services.

Too bad. Wunderlist was a great service, the only To-Do app I ever liked.
Yes, if you consider there are codes for commen phrases i.e 73 for "best regards".

Work has LinkedIn blocked, so I can't confirm easily.
Often things that don't make sense, don't make sense for a reason. There are some ads that influence people indirectly (e.g. the trailer of one movie coming before a review of a movie on youtube). But click-through ads at this point may be a total fake business for washing drug money or something.

Not even my parents or grand parents click ads. I wouldn't believe anybody who claims there might be an unknown group of people who really do click ads.
Thanks for the support arikfr! Being a long time HN user, I am happy to see Todoist recommended.

We are in this for the long haul. We don't even go into acquisitions talks (we already turned down a lot of them), and we don't have an exit strategy. If you are interested in learning more please read our `No Exit philosophy` https://tentimezones.com/why-we-don-t-have-an-exit-strategy-...
No but GP likens (websites carrying ads) to (rats).

I point out that GP is in a mostly voluntarily relationship with those websites.
No, the huge hacks are simply not made public.
You can do this in Java using derive4j: https://github.com/derive4j/derive4j.

It generates code for algebraic data types which offer a typesafe interface similar to the `case` statements in languages that natively support pattern matching.

Microsoft's To-Do lets you import from Wunderlist.
Dude this decision was by the Wunderlist team, they're all still at the company.
I know they are doing what HN commenters tell everyone to do and charge more, but I am just not comfortable paying £22/year for a todo list (£28 through Apple). I'm not really a todo list enthusiast, so I don't want 90% of the features features, just basic stuff like "show all tasks except those scheduled far in the future".
Redefining the Developer Event: Get Your Hands Dirty
3di Poland Year One in Review
System76 gained some popularity from the frustration about the latest MBP, so i guess this is their response to that.
I don't really buy the text about their vision and goals though, in the past they have not really been well known for great build quality or good design. They basically sold pre-installed Linux on rebranded chinese laptops.
Their new goals are ambitious and sound too ambitious but i wish them best of luck.

I am quite happy with my 2016 MBP, by no means perfect, but my overall Mac experience did not change that much.
No I didn't, I'm saying that if a laptop doesn't have an acceptable form factor, its performance (or even existence) doesn't matter. I'm also saying that models in the T series do not offer form factors suitable for everyone, contrary to the GP's claim, and offering the Macbook Air 11" as an example of the kind of form factor not offered.
I don't think WiFi is that common in desktop hardware.
T450 owner here, running Ubuntu 16.04 LTS Desktop. My machine hangs when I unplug it from the Thinkpad dock. X rendering glitches are an hourly occurrence and X crashes weekly. In laptop mode, the trackpad handling is not up to snuff either. (I guess if I wanted all those features, I could just install Windows.)
Except in HBO's Silicon Valley, the box (or more broadly the appliance model) was probably the right choice.

A compression product like that would be a much easier sell to enterprise if it's on-premise than as a cloud service.
Deeply frozen data is a good middle ground to have immutability without Immutable.js: during development, automated tests can catch code that would attempt to mutate, and you have the option to remove the deep freezing in the release version to have no runtime penalty once you're confident that nothing can mutate the data.
Isn't it implied in being territorial?
The OpenPOWER Foundation wondered: What if developers at a developer event actually spent their time developing?

Announcing the OpenPOWER Developer Congress, a hands-on event where developers bring their laptops and best ideas and get their hands dirty, working under the tutelage of technical experts from all areas of the OpenPOWER community to create accelerated and optimized solutions that are simply not possible on other architectures.

The Congress will focus on the full stack of solution components — software, hardware, infrastructure, and tooling. Developers will have the opportunity to learn and develop solutions amongst their peers, amongst the leading experts in machine learning and AI, in a collaborative and supportive environment.

ISVs will be given the development, porting, and optimization information, the tools and techniques necessary to utilize multiple technologies, for example: PowerAI, TensorFlow, Chainer, Anaconda, GPU, FPGA, CAPI, POWER, and OpenBMC.

The first ever OpenPOWER Developer Congress will take place May 22-25 in San Francisco. Apply to attend, and learn new ways to embed specific solutions, accelerate workloads, or monetize applications, and leave with a solution your company can potentially sell.
Which part of London?

I used to commute through the fumes to Soho, by bike, taking approximately an hour each way. There have been other commutes, e.g. around the North Circular or straight up the A5 to Stanmore, however, I nowadays avoid central London due to the air quality. It is as simple as that, the air is not good. There is no way to effectively avoid this if you do need to actually get somewhere central.

I believe that the traffic is manageable and not a problem so long as you like hi-viz and ride as per the Highway Code.

If you do have to commute to central London then don't - get another job a bit further out and get your life back, and your health.

Nowadays I get trains places once or twice a month but otherwise just cycle the river ('Thames') and other low pollution areas, e.g. Richmond Park.

Also winds are prevailing one way due to how the earth spins, so make sure you live in the West of London and not the East.

Outer London good, inner London = move!!!

Also, for penetration testers it's usually not legal or in breach of contract to try to compromise services running on cloud/serverless infrastructure because they would impact 3rd parties, starting from the cloud provider itself.

Ten Reasons Why Testing Isn't Boring
Ok this is no fun anymore. I was trolling. I tried to make it blindingly obvious by combining two common grammar pedant triggers in one sentence but people were so keen to be self-righteous that it flew over their head.

I know the correct grammar, and I just think it's sad that people care.
Maybe what some people are looking for in a replacement, this is something I put together:

https://nachapp.com

It isn't multi-user, but does introduce features around tying tasks to larger goals, progress tracking etc. It's also currently just a web app, but at the moment I'm working on native iOS/Android apps.
Well, considering the web is replacing native toolkits more and more, there better be, eh?

Either you can build something looking native in the web languages, or Electron and co habe failed already.

In business not really, the majority of home users are on WiFi though.
Well .... it really depends on what you are selling. You said service, but doing what? In what domain?

Ok, that wasn't helpful. So let me try to break it down, without knowing anything about what you are selling.

I will assume that your service is to solve some problem in a particular business domain. From that you can decide on who would have the problem you are solving and how critical it is for them. Hair on fire is good. Nicer typography on the menu - meh. Nevertheless, you can sketch your ideal customer. Potentially only a very small proportion of your town's business population is a possible prospect. Once you have identified the businesses, you could look at who in those businesses would be most motivated to do something about getting you to solve the problem(s) you have identified and are capable of solving.

Then you go an talk to the people you have identified. You listen more than you talk and refine your approach.

For a far more detailed approach you could read "Four Steps to Epiphany" by Steve Blank. Customer Development Method might be exactly what you need to help you maximise the productivity of your time when you are out of the office, talking with prospects.

If you provide some details about your business then some HNers might be able to give you specific advice.

Good Luck.
> I have no idea if the story is true or not. But it's sad to think a park ranger had to die for such an obvious problem to get solved.

It's an old pattern: no one bothers about proactive regulation, it always needs one (or multiple) deaths. The reason is capitalism - security or in this case emission controls cost money which can be saved until the shxt hits the fan and regulation is unavoidable.
Saying that cycling lowers disease normalizes not exercising.

I prefer to think of exercise as normal and sitting around as the disease-causing deviation. I would say:

Not cycling to work can increase cancer and heart disease

or

Sitting around when you could get your heart pumping can increase cancer and heart disease
But you are comparing injuries to deaths. There are 'only' around 750 deadly bike accidents per year.

Compare this to motor vehicle deaths: there are 35,000 of those per year in the USA .. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_motor_vehicle_deaths_i...
