Proper cases can be hard to come up with (new they are rather expensive), e.g. I can't do anything with a 85 cm deep pizza box in my rack (because that pizza box is like 15 cm longer than the whole thing), so I needed a bit more special case, which has space for a standard 2S board but is short as well. Only Supermicro had one of those.

It's nice to see that for once it's a good thing that Apple hardly ever ships standard firmware and instead usually leaves out all the components and features they don't plan to use.
I admit I don't have a big problem with parallel coding often being considered something for experts/consultants/wizards. Keeps the prices up :)
Vast majority? Well, for the Hacker News audience, sure :) But the App Store is popular enough for Apple to require a checkbox in the settings for installing outside apps, like on Android.
I would be interested to learn how you cope with indirect dependencies (i.e. dependencies brought in by your dependencies). I often have to deal with the situation that both of my dependencies A and B require Y but in different versions. Neither A nor B offer versions where the dependency on Y is compatible (or the same).
Absolutely. We can even measure Picasso against other artists (e.g. in bucks per lifetime). 10x is not some internal state, it is a fusion of key performance indexes. If one doesn't have these though, then managing his company is pure art, by definition.

Only in america.

> Any time you call the cops on somebody, it should be done with the expectation that they may be arrested and taken to jail

Only in america.

Just because the American police force is awful and only really good at escalating situations doesn't mean that that's the best they can do.

The polices job is "Protect and Serve", not "Escalate and Worsen", if that requires temporarily filling the role of emergency counselor so be it.

For example every dutch police car carries a couple teddy bears they can hand out to children in traumatic situations such as car crashes. Sure you can argue that it isn't the polices job to soothe children, but you'll be very glad that they still do when it's your kid hurt.

I agree. I am very curious about ways to prevent people from getting addicted to harmful things or things that they consciously decide to avoid.

I am not here to attack or defend Facebook either, but I think accusing them of being bad just because people get addicted to it is not a good measure. People get addicted to smartphones also but I rarely see people critical of the smartphone as a device.

Why do you need Apple to listen to music?

There is radio (online and in the ether), there are alternative platforms (e.g., Bandcamp), concerts and other live venues, (second hand) physical media (e.g., CDs or vinyl), open access music, etcetera.

On top of all that there is the big middle finger of 'piracy' if you are so inclined. For many this is a morally acceptable alternative to a rotten system, for others it may remain an imponderable transgression of law and or ethics — either way, it is a viable alternative in addition to the above.

How about a Windows Phone? I know security through obscurity is generally not encouraged, but the fact is that the majority of exploits target iOS and Android, because the WP market share is so tiny that it's just not worth trying. That counts for something.

I've got a Lumia 925 running Windows Phone 8.1, and a 640 running Windows 10 Mobile. Coming from iOS it'll take some getting used to. I'll try and be as unbiased as possible here:

PROS:

- fast, intuitive UI

- email, whatsapp, spotify all available

- no slowdown over time

CONS:

- lots of big apps missing

- No official Google apps (you can use gmail, but only
through the stock email app. Youtube is basically just a shortcut to the site)

- Sometimes - no often - you get a 3rd rate app experience, as companies put less effort into the apps for the shrinking market. for instance, slack is a packaged web app on WP, but I'm pretty sure its a native app on both iOS and Android.

- limited hardware choice.

- no third party keyboards (but the stock one is, IMHO, one of the best mobile keyboards I've ever used)

- speech recognition is inferior to Android / iOS

- tied to MS services (OneDrive, Bing etc)

I miss trying out the latest apps. When some new todo list app is announced on HN, it's never available for me. I feel left out at times.

The flipside of this is that I don't get sucked into playing Pokemon Go, or Minecraft, or browsing Pinterest. I switch to android for a few months after my last lumia broke, and I wasted so much time with my head buried in apps I would have never used on WP. I recognised this and switched back.

Why Acid Attacks Have Doubled in the UK
So accurate.

I was involved in meetings some time back where the aim was to try and organize a support board in Jira.

The lanes were fine I thought, but we also had priority / severity that users could set themselves. My perspective was that this is useless, that people will always set stuff to the highest priority because to them, it probably is. Instead, we should either do away with this altogether and just have the priority be: whatever is on top, and don't let "regular" users change this – or – we have a priority master, a single person responsible for owning these priorities to have a consistent opinion. It doesn't much matter if it's "right" so long as it's consistent, because it is an opinion, not a natural fact.

Of course this was shot down and the next several weeks were spent discussing the priority levels. Looking at the board this morning I see all tickets are at the highest priority – shocker! No one cares of course and the point isn't so much whether or not I was right, but the fact that this is what people do for a living makes me less anxious about the impending automation doom. We'll figure out useless jobs for everyone I'm sure!
Nice idea - played a bit. Any plans to add Linode.com ?

IMHO performance is only one reason for using a system like Cap'n'Proto/grpc/Thrift vs some handwritten json/yaml/xml/binary protocol.

Others reasons are:

- Starting from an IDL you get a nice service contract. Which means both sides of the service (client & server implementors) get a strong description on how the service should behave and what they need to implement. The more roles you have (architects, client-implementors, service-implementors, testers, mock-service implementors), the more you profit from a good specification.

- If you generate all the serialization/deserialization code you avoid the tedious handwriting of this code and the possibility of introducing errors in this. E.g. some misspelling of field names or functions or copy&paste errors can always occur and some of these errors are only detected late in the development process.

These advantages might not be visible if you have a small service and development team - you might even experience an overhead compared to just "changing the client and server code", which are both under your control. But once you are working on a system with thousands of APIs you are quite happy if you don't have to care about handwriting serialization and RPC code and instead can focus on business logic. I personally was responsible for deploying a similar solution for an in-vehicle infotainment system with hundreds of services and around 4000 functions, which worked out really well.

Trump’s View on North Korea’s Kim Jong Un: ‘He’s a Pretty Smart Cookie’
I worked a good deal with OSGi and think it is sad that it didn't get more traction in the server world. I once adapted a jetty container to use OSGi dependencies instead of packaging all dependencies into a single war file. I gained wonderfully light weight deployment units and the possibility to patch dependencies without touching downstream modules.

I'm not sure I understood your question. This is the terminal: https://neovim.io/doc/user/nvim_terminal_emulator.html

So is that proactive systemic testing put in place because the FDA requires it, or because the food processing facility fears an outbreak that would bankrupt the company?

There is no FDA for bugs in software companies, which is far less consequential, yet most software companies invest a fairly reasonable amount of engineering time into quality control. So this begs the questions, how much good does the FDA really do?
I'm running a similar setup to yours (IIRC I have the same mobo even), but I'm quite happy with it. I got new Xeons (1630 e5 @ 3.7 ghz), RAM compatibility was not something I found an issue (we're talking +/- 5 months ago here), power supply - I got a 1000W PS anyway to power several GPU's, I guess at that level they come with several connectors standard and I just didn't run into it as an issue. To be honest though I went for Xeon to get ECC, so if these new AMD's support that, then maybe next time...

What is SIMD support like for Ryzen? Does it do avx2 or something similar?

It's true that server components are generally loud. If you have the room, I recommend my setup - which is to have a (home build) rack in the basement, and run long DisplayPort cables (and USB extension cables) to the desk. Or build a closet around a rack in an office, which can be soundproofed. This does push it to the next level in terms of work involved, obviously (and cost as well if you don't have tools or time to DIY most of it).
It's not mp3 that made it possible to share music on the internet but people who did not care for the business model of the music industry. By the time ipod were out mp3 was outdated and obsolete for a while but was still the most used format for several reasons (format of choice of the pirates, cheaper to make hardware decoder, lack of success of mp3pro and other proprietary successors, reluctancy to adopt free and open format).

APNG was invented by Mozilla and not standardized with a "legit" organization (IETF/W3C). I guess Chrome/Safari/IE were reluctant to adopt a not-really-standard. Safari eventually did though, and now finally it's in Chrome beta.

Yeah "gifv" is what I mentioned, and it's the way forward. The bandwidth used by GIFs made from movie clips is ridiculous! APNG wouldn't be that much better since it's also lossless. But APNG will be nice for animations that have to be lossless.

In my first job I convinced the boss to start transitioning the programmers away from using Windows machines for PHP (Drupal) development work.

The (unsurprising, really) backlash was not because their work had slowed down (in fact it solved many problems) but because their non-work was impeded. Flash was a bit dodgy, so browser games were out. Their favorite torrent programs didn't work in Linux. Of course, they couldn't use these reasons when complaining to the boss, so there were some amusing verbal gymnastics....
What model? I've been buying used Thinkpads as of late (all Lenovo) and while I do see a slow quality down-ramp, even the newest are more robust than a similar Asus.

Our own US President is unhinged. Why worry about Kim Jong-un? The fact is that we don't know why the President says what he does -- empathy for Kim Jong-un... is it a play to get him to back down? Is it a misguided effort at diplomacy? Is it ignorance? Some kind of recognition of himself in Kim Jong-un? Saddam Hussein was a "really, really bad guy." That kind of language is associated with mental decline. Sec. Tillerson should be more worried about the mental facilities of his superior -- Tillerson could arrive at a diplomatic solution only to find that someone else has bent Trump's ear and told him to send a bomb. "I have to do it," Trump would say.

APNG works fine here on Safari, and it seems to be supported by everyone but IE/Edge and (strangely) the new Opera w/ Blink, but that may be because Chrome apparently added support starting with 59 in March?

Easy test: do you see the ball bouncing here? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/APNG
Yeah, this is another problem that I had. Plenty of full-tower cases these days support EATX, but SSI-EEB not so much (at least, the ones that can support it out-of-the-box).

I thought the perceived idea about the 10x developer was that he/she is 10x better than the average programmer, not the worst

That could well be what people perceive. It's not what the studies said. While the article has some good references, I might as well quote Peopleware again just for the fun of it. I churn this out every so often:

A 2nd edition of Peopleware summarises it; the 10x programmer is not a myth, but it's comparing the best to the worst; NOT best to median. It's also not about programming specifically; it's simply a common distribution in many metrics of performance.

The rule of thumb Peopleware states is that you can rely on the best outperforming the worst by a factor of 10, and you can rely on the best outperforming the median by a factor of 2.5. This of course indicates that a median developer, middle of the pack, is a 4x developer. Obviously, this is a statistical rule, and if you've got a tiny sample size or some kind of singular outlier or other such; well, we're all adults and we understand how statistics and distributions work.

Peopleware uses Boehn (1981), Sackman (1968), Augustine (1979) and Lawrence (1981) as its sources.
[ "Peopleware", DeMarco and Lister, 1987, p45 ]
The final straw for me was an outsourced dev asking me about time estimates for an agile project that other developers had estimated for.

"How much time will this take?" (Very demanding Asian boss in Australia Post)

"No idea, might be quick, might be complex, I don't know your environment."

"Well, developers have said 8 points. How much time is that??"

"I don't know".

His response: "Stay behind after the meeting, I need to talk to you about respect for authority".

Agreed. I've been using it for about 2 years without issue. I've also recently (within last 3 weeks) installed it on a fresh OS X install (on two, actually) and the experience was without incident and hassle free.

The only thing that I had issues with was plugins using the remote api from node because I kept forgetting to install node_host (which was mentioned in the README and I just overlooked). Once I remembered to install that (and node locally), everything just worked.

I'm a front-end web developer from Bangalore, India. I primarily work with React, but I've worked with Angular and Backbone in the past. I quickly can pick up whatever framework/technology your team works with.

I prefer to not take up backend projects any more, but I have prior experience building and deploying Node.js/Express and Python/Flask projects as well. In that sense I'm probably a "full-stack engineer", though I hesitate to market myself as such.

Do any of the plugins that you do use slow the editor down? Eg some completion plugins that parse code may not be the fastest. Neovim makes this asynchronous so it no longer blocks you're editing while its working away in the background.
