> HN isn't separate from real life, it's part of it.

I wasn't suggesting it's separate - I was simply suggesting that I think its sexism level is comparable to many "real world" average places. I think that's pretty good, especially for the Internet where the disconnect is often larger.

Unless you're suggesting women and minorities are turned off immediately by heavily down-voted comments, many of which are hidden unless you check the "show me the bad stuff" box then I don't think "not welcoming" is an accurate description. I can't speak to race or sex, but with other things at least, I know that seeing nasty comments present but heavily downvoted is a sort of comfort to me.
"toxicity" is often a matter of perspective.

But it's never alright to inhibit the world flow. If that inhibition is racism, sexism, alcohol, crude jokes, or (on the other hand) creating drama and magnifying issues it's all no good.

And the law has to be followed. And if you are decent person at whatever level you are you don't annoy others around you at work. And if you are a wise manager you don't allow annoyances, not because you are a good person but because it inhibits the work flow.

It sounds to me maybe more like you are looking for a workplace that suits you. And pays well. Which is cool, I hope you find it. It's all what we want and not many of us get.

But just because it's a lot of white dudes with beer and ping pong table doesn't intrinsically mean "toxic". Any more than ladies who say "shit" at work or talk down "bros" is toxic. It's just various levels of annoyance and what we like to be around and who we can jive with as a team. And it varies. So I'm not sure there is a right answer but check things out and see how you feel, because what you find "toxic" others might find delicious.
I think this is devilish clever by Apple. If you see a space gray iMac you know this guy shelled out a lot of money and means business. Apple made the iMac Pro an even greater status symbol than the iMac already is.
It's an iSurface.

It looks pretty similar. There will be people that will think that the Surface is a Microsoft's copy of this device.
if you spelled it with a y, your security measures could involve flooding rivers to overrun botnet zombies!
One caveat with the MS wireless keyboards (with the dongle, since Bluetooth and I don't get along): the ergo MS keyboard I have had random connection issues with the normal Apple USB -> USB-C adapter which is required to plug it into my 15" tbMBP. I finally guessed that this is due to it being a USB2 devices plugged into a USB3 port. https://support.apple.com/kb/PH19094?locale=en_US mentions this specifically, but briefly enough that it's easy to miss: """If the device is connected to a USB hub:
Make sure the device and the hub are the same speed. Connect USB 3.0 SuperSpeed devices to a USB 3.0 SuperSpeed HUB, USB 2.0 Hi-Speed devices to a USB 2.0 Hi-Speed hub, and so on."""

I bought a cheap-ish Mac-specific (not that it should matter) powered USB 2.0 hub off Amazon. Plugged the kbd, mouse, and my HiFiMeDIY DAC into it. All now work well without nearly as many issues.
Good idea, but it would be very confusing. Also my father has the same name as I do, and his e-mail is first@lastname.tld !!!.

Good thing I'm not a lawyer too, or it would be too confusing.
Yeah I got annoyed for the same reason and used the Personal Blocklist Chrome extension to block WSJ from showing up in my search results at all. And recently I had to add Forbes to the same list.
You can take ownership of any folder and do whatever you want to its contents. The fact that Windows tries to protect you from doing something dumb (but gets out of your way if you're sure) is probably a good thing.
As of 5 June 2017, 5:00 pm UTC-4, there was no video. I predict this is going to be a unifying reviews/information tool for the Apple ecosystem.

But I hope it's also a competitor for Slack.

Bootstrapping madness? Self-funding by selling a startup a week, for a month

Why don't you first answer the question that was asked?.
> the link you posted is using x265 which as the article suggests was ranked 4th out the 6 available encoders

The other encoders there are commercial or not publicly available as far as I can tell, so it's hard to use them as a comparison. Plus according to that PDF, the best encoder is 0.85x x265, which is about the same as AV1 in its present state in the video I linked. And again, AV1 isn't even finalized yet, so I actually find it somewhat impressive that it can already compete against these highly tuned encoders with years of development put into them.

> where it is inferior is in vendor support

Of course there's no vendor support now, the codec isn't even finalized yet. However the codec is backed by Microsoft, Google, Mozilla, Qualcomm, Intel, AMD, ARM, Broadcom, NVIDIA, Adobe, Netflix and the BBC, i.e. all but 1 of the major browser and OS vendors, every major mobile, server and desktop processor company and the 2 most widely used video streaming companies.
My goals have been shifting over the last couple years from saving/changing/making a positive impact on the world to just helping people out when I can and enjoying my life. It's certainly freeing and honestly I'm probably doing more good in the world because I'm able to do more little things that actually help people.
Hm, I haven't tried that yet, but I think it is possible. It usually works very well in specialized and non-chain stores.
If you cannot find a salesperson with any decision power it might be harder.

You can try asking the next time you buy something big. The worst that can happen is them saying no, if you really asked nicely.

PS: I dented a rental car and got a huge bill. I called them up and basically said 'discount please?' They gave me a 20% discount, and that was without any kind of arguing or confrontational talk, just the question. So it's not just for stores.
> I want your (all yalls) telemetry data sent to Microsoft, so my Windows crashes less.

I want your data sent to Microsoft too, for the same reason. I don't want my data sent to Microsoft, though.
Not sure if this is the OP's extension but I use Personal Blocklist for Chrome.
Can you pay high rents on a can collection income?
If Google doesn't differentiate between "the WSJ or a scam site", its value to me is severely curtailed.
You need large continuous blocks to build high density developments. When you've got all these small single family lots, it becomes really difficult for a developer to acquire them all without some hold outs saying no or demanding crazy prices. It might be time to use eminent domain more
Google touts itself as a company that wants to catalog all the knowledge. How is it possible that WSJ content ranking falls after the introduction of the pay wall? Google has the ability to crawl behind the wall content, and yet it downgrades the WSJ content. In my opinion, this is an abuse of its search dominance position.
I use my iPad Pro for development ALL the time.

Two ways I get it done:
1. ssh into a remote vm in the cloud and use that. Emacs (or vim if you are that kind of person ;) ), tmux, and zsh shell are all I really need.

2. Use Coda or another on device editor. This one is a little harder as it's not quite as good as you desktop editors like VS.Code or Atom. That said I do it often and enjoy the experience.
"Web applications saved to the home screen now support all features of modern WebKit, such as Fast-Tap, scroll snapping and the new visual viewports behavior"

Holy shit, the support was that bad? Not just "no Service Workers and no Web App Manifest", but literally "not all WebKit features"?!

Barely related but what happened to HealthKit ? are ambitious Apple Kits failing ?
This looks like a preliminary move by Apple to establish itself as a viable work computer.

Windows and linux environments currently appear to reign supreme over the workplace, the former because of programs like Skype and outlook integration, the latter for ease of development. I think Apple has a long uphill battle attempting to break into the industry against the value-sell of existing options.
> "A government big enough to give you everything you want, is a government big enough to take away everything that you have."

A cute saying, but misleading. A government big enough to impose even a modest constraint on violent crime is also more than big enough to take away everything you have; anything weak enough to avoid that threat is not the government and will be replaced in that role but something else that is. So, mitigating that threat necessarily is about managing aspects of government other than its size.
Interesting. And integration with Apple Pay. So, you are chatting with a customer to help him/her with the sale of a product and while being in the chat the payment can be made and your product delivered. Very nice.
I seem to have a very good number. I never got a call from telemarketers. Might be the German laws or the fact that I have had that number since the dawn of mobile phones.
There was a ping pong table in my college dormitory common room, and I grew to loath it.

You couldn't do anything within earshot of it. Nobody could just tap the ball back and forth. Noooo. It's serve, back, SLAM! always followed by groans and whoops as loud as possible.

I wouldn't join any company with a prominent ping pong table.
It's a textbook example of moving the goal posts.

I think it is relevant, the WSJ has a lot of digital subscribers and they're profitable I think in large part due to their paywall. FT is also profitable and employs aggressive paywalling. I've noticed smaller local publications tightening up their paywalls, as well.

I'd expect to see more paywalls going forward, not fewer. I think there's increasing recognition that the economics are better.
I missed those - I read whole discussion when it was young and did not had those comments yet, refreshed, quickly read the rest and missed them somehow.

Then I reacted also because the fear thing is a bit of pet peeve of mine.
Is anyone able to find the ARKit sample code that was mentioned during the keynote?
Oh I agree. It still has far more performance than anyone really "needs" and you can totally wrap yourself around a tree with that.

My Mazda 3 does 0-60 in about 7 seconds which would have been hot hatch territory a few decades ago. That's plenty for most people even for highway driving.

The Model S has a weird performance profile. Most other cars that have similar acceleration also have the handling to accompany it.

>Blaming the problem on "racist" cops by default instead of performing a root cause analysis is leading us to overlook the likelihood that poorer communities, that are often predominantly black, are more likely to be exposed to lead.

The idea that BLM is just a distraction because your "root cause analysis" points to lead poisoning is laughably offensive. I don't think most BLM supporters would assert that "'racist' cops" are the "root cause" of America's mistreatment of black people, rather they're the most visible expression of a system that devalues black lives, because they kill dozens of black people with impunity every month. Lead pipes are just another, less visible, expression of the same system, just like the still segregated school systems, the gerrymandered voting districts, and the 400 years of history that led to the present.
Reading the description it is entirely a tool for companies to interact with users from multiple Apple applications including Messages. They also had a screenshot that it looks like they took down that seems to reaffirm this.

It was a long time ago and i did do more of the heavier construction then stuff like painting.

Biggest thing i learned from doing things quickly is where precision matters and where not. For example if i'm painting the ceiling it doesn't matter if i touch a wall as i will paint that wall later (unless i splat a bunch of it, ofc), but it does matter if i touch the ceiling when i'm paining the wall. Of course painting things quickly brings the risk of spraying paint around, especially when using a roller. Painting things too slowly can also be bad if the paint is highly viscous, like with the paint for outside metal surfaces (railings) as it ends up being obvious where you stopped to detail something else. Or wall paint if you cba to do it in two layers so you mix thicker paint and do it in one.

With windows specifically (and doors and such) you would put the.. paper tape (idk how to translate it) (edit: masking tape) some 2 or more cm wide on the edges so you would have a nice margin of error. With paining fast there is a bigger risk of going over it, and that can be bad (oil based window paint on a wall is really bad, wall paint on a window easily goes away with a wet rag).

In most construction it doesn't matter if you are little off, it was just me being anal.

TL;DR I learned where it matters to go a bit slower and where i can go fast without consequences.

edit: Forgot to answer the question. Yes, i did get better. Mostly because i learned where i can go fast and where i need to pay more attention. Learning to not wave brushes full of paint around like a figure skater also had a bit to do with it. I did also learn that some things come out better by default if you do them fast.
Really, easy to google? With "quality" answers, like these, full of guesses?

> Does anyone know what the nbagent process is?

> ...

> It appears to be something related to Software Update and/or the Mac App Store, so allowing it seems safe. I'd speculate that it showed up in the latest OS X update since I'd never seen it before today either, and the first google hits seem to appear only very recently.

Sorry, while honest good effort, that's not acceptable answer. And that's before we start investigating processes that do connect AFTER login - what the heck is "systemmigrationd"? (try googling that).

Sorry, but macOS regarding privacy is almost as bad, as Windows. It has many processes that connect somewhere, it is uncertain what these processes do, etc. How can someone even audit that?

Compare to CentOS/Fedora, where the only hit to internet during pre-login is either DNS or your configuration and all the other hits are user-initiated (except browsers, which do update their certification revocation list, unsafe-urls list, etc).
Never thought I'd see "raises 1.2M" and "SSH private key" in one sentence.

What would they even do with this money?
"Finally, you can `npm install` in mere minutes!"
I feel like 90% of the developers I know use Macs, even though a good chunk of the time they are just SSHing to Linux machines to do their work.
I use prompt to ssh into a remote server and that's my preferred method. If I need to be local to the device I'll use working copy (Great git app!) and coda to work locally. I'm more of a command line driven dev so I like the first option but the second is good also.
You will never find one on an iPhone or iPad. And for which reasons?

This says a lot more about why the FTC didn't go forward with its staff's recommendations to go forward with charges than anything else.
Guessing from the apps on my phone, minimalism; consistency; simplicity over features; standard white-on black over novel color schemes.

> Apple to establish itself as a viable work computer.

Apple is already 'established' as a 'viable work computer'. Moreso than Linux at least.

Depending on what industry you're in you'll find quite a solid adoption of Mac computers used as 'daily drivers' for people.
> Also, words like "high energy" and "passion" often reflect poorly as well.

Interesting. Can you expand on this? I don't see "passion" as negative; it seems to just mean that people like their work.
The 2012 round of gTLDs aren't provisional and they aren't used by "early adopters". They are part of the Internet now. There are millions of sites using them now, and any business owner creating a new site on, e.g., .design, is simply buying a domain name through a registrar; they are not "diving in without thinking" or being "early adopters" or "taking risks".

There were many years of discussion prior to releasing the latest gTLDs. This is not a continually ongoing process; the discussion was completed, and the new gTLDs were released. That can't be gone back on, not without causing harm to millions of website owners and network operators. It's simply not ever going to happen, and trying to argue otherwise isn't a fruitful use of time. Though, by all means, your time is yours to do with what you will, and if you really want to start a movement to try to roll back all the new gTLDs, godspeed. It seems like tilting at windmills to me though.

I've already addressed why everything isn't on .google already -- domain names are sticky, and it takes a lot of work to change the domain name of an established product. It tends not to be worth it. For new webpages though, e.g. environment.google, you're starting to see it being used.
That's a really good point, I'll have to ask if we can try that next time! I just had a look at one of mine and the top line was "One reason you're seeing this ad is that Habito wants to reach people who may be similar to their customers." which is pretty vague. The next bit mentioned 18+ and in the UK, and a few others mentioned age too so maybe it'd at least give that much.

I bought my 30" ACD's in 2008, 2009 and 2011. Two have died. My last one is starting to wig out. The new 5k LG monitor is brighter and sharper, but it's only about 3/4 the physical screen space. Funny how some things go backwards and other things go forwards.

My 3 monitors have been used for 4 generations of Macs, though. Definitely agree that monitors live longer than the underlying computer.
Then why not fix the horrendous browser performance of Chrome? It's not like people's complaints about how much energy it uses relative to Safari are new. People have been complaining for YEARS.

According to another comment you work on the Chrome team. So unlike most everyone here, you're actually in a position to fix one of the two options.
I'd love to try this out. How do you find the Smart Keyboard with prolonged use?

> Google touts itself as a company that wants to catalog all the knowledge. How is it possible that WSJ content ranking falls after the introduction of the pay wall?

Because ranking is about utility to search users, and content not accessible to general search users isn't useful to them. The knowledge (both the content itself and the meta-data regarding it's inaccessible status) is still cataloged, this is just making effective use of the meta-data for the purposes of search UX.
Like the Facebook Messenger product.
You collect cans while renting a closet somewhere. You use that permanent address to land a better labor job. Then save a bit and buy your own tools and compete for jobs as a subcontractor etc.

There are a lot of obstacles along the way, and a predatory society and institutions don't help, but that's generally how it's done.

LA isn't impossible, there are areas where houses are $250k, but are dismissed as "ghetto." The main issue in LA is transportation and associated costs.
This has always been the case in times of great change, because relatively few people a.) recognize the change as important and b.) are able to adapt their skillset to take advantage of it quickly. I remember going to college in the early 2000s, post dot-com crash and during the height of globalization, and hearing that computer programmers were the new serfs and financiers or war profiteers would all be living their cushy lives on our backs. Similar periods have existed throughout history, eg. during the 1930s everyone in an industry connected to the automobile (UAW, parts suppliers, road builders, even gas station attendants) made out like bandits while small independent farmers basically starved.

We may yet see social upheaval, but ultimately the last holdouts in old industries will realize that resistance is futile and retrain in new industries. That in turn will increase the supply of labor in those profitable fields, which will drive wages down to a more normal level, and equilibrium will be restored. Until the next technological revolution, at least.
do you have more info on that quote? I'd like to read more about that time, but google failed me
As a Google user, I value it because it finds things. Some of those things cost me money. To make this visceral: what differentiates Google finding me an expensive camera that I can buy from B&H that matches my search criteria and helps me get my work done of Google finding me an expensive article from the Wall Street Journal that matches my search criteria and helps me get my work done? If Google wants to optimize for "lowest price" then it should make that a non-default criterion as otherwise they are just helping me find cheap, low quality crap: if that is providing you value you probably have a broken definition of "value" :/.
> Competence is arranging work in a way that mistakes don't result in a disaster.

I like this definition.
Oh my, yes that's what I meant!
I think this is the best answer. There is no silver bullet to learning, and we need to get away from thinking there is.

On the other hand, coming from construction too, I would assume your coworkers were teasing you, rather than really fuss over the speed of the new kid. ;)
