I'll never understand why so-called "hackers" will defend Microsoft and their products when Microsoft participated in the NSA PRISM program in secret.

This was a program most of congress didn't even know about, but execs at MS knew. They were knowingly violating your right to privacy and knew the government was doing it. Microsoft are bad guys. I won't even go into what all they did in the 90's under Bill Gates (https://archive.fo/CJ4PV).

Not only that, but Windows is a crap OS. Anytime anyone defends Windows it always comes down to program compatibility and not OS quality. Linux for me is more stable, performant, doesn't slow down after a few months of use, has better choice in file system, has actual package management, doesn't force me to reboot for updates, doesn't take 8 hours to install .NET framework after rebooting preventing me from doing work, has great container technology, the list could just go on.

Windows isn't a good OS, it just has games and office and a few "professional" programs that most "hackers" don't ever touch. It's filesystem is crap, it's update policy is crap and should have been fixed millennia ago, svchost is always a problem, font rendering is still worse then any other OS, ads in the os, spyware in the OS, closed source so you can't even really hack on it, etc. But it's got games so that makes it the best OS for software development? Any one who thinks this has never given Linux a serious shot. After programing and setting up development environments with proper package management and having a sane command line, using Windows for development, especially in multiple languages is a huge chore that usually involves lots of breakage over time. On Linux things feel much more cohesive.

Even Microsoft agrees that Linux is better for developers, seeing as they implemented a Linux sub-system right into their OS. They've admitted defeat. They aren't even going to try to fix windows. Microsoft doesn't even care about Windows. People on HN care more about Windows than MS does.
I'll give my personal pet peeve as an example: abbreviations.

When I want the constant for the user's language, everyone knows they're looking for LANGUAGE, in principle. And long identifiers aren't quite the problem any more with autocomplete. But some library- and language authors insist on saving 4 bytes by naming it LANG, or even just L. Or they somehow end up with this abomination:

> locale
LANG=en_US.UTF-8
LANGUAGE=

There are better examples where more variations can be found in the wild. And there are some abbreviations that somehow just feel terribly ugly to me, but I've apparently succeeded in erasing them from memory. They sometimes remind me of people who use a plus sign instead of the word "and"–it betrays a certain lack of respect for the language,

Yeah, the theory that people would be moving money into LTC when the BTC potential split approaches doesn't seem to be holding, at least not yet.

For now, the main theory, that all altcoins, including LTC, take their value from BTC, and react based on BTC's movements, seems to remain true. When people lose trust in Bitcoin, they lose even more trust in other cryptocurrencies, in aggregate.

Mobile App Growth Hacking: Why it's changed and where it's going
If I read that right, they're allowing Intel ME, which sounds like a sad compromise to me. Given that it's a pretty big complex black box that one can't easily disable, would you agree that x86 is doomed when it comes to security? If that's the case, is there any hope we could have a CPU with competitive capabilities? (For example, is there an i7 alternative for ARM?)

What could one do to make it possible to have ME-less x86 in the future?
Question for the women ou there: Do you perceive this as a magnificent idea or as implying women have a periodic weakness that impacts their performance every month?

Do you think this sort of policy feeds into wage gap stuff, or fights against it?

As a reasonably feminist guy, I can't decide how to feel about this. It seems like it's implying women can't work one day of every month, and also seems like a great idea because dealing with office folk while in pain is not fun.

Do you think a policy like this works better (only?) in a predominantly female company?
72 MB, which isn't the real world speed, as stated, isn't a lot. Thats only 9 actual megabytes a second. Now download any sizable source code project, or, upload many small changes. Or, even just a movie from itunes or something.

Good routers can go over 100Mbps, easily, and I would never think that 'less' speed is 'okay' in a world where increased speeds are just a requirement of technology over time, and usage, of said technology.
Being and Becoming in Modern Physics
That's sexism though.
I have a feeling by "upload" they mean the iPad can display all the numbers that need to be manually punched into your autopilot.
I do think machine learning will become more mainstream, like the saying "Google uses Bayesian filtering the way Microsoft uses the if statement".

Even so, if statements tend to be written by humans, compartmentalised into functions/modules/methods/etc. and plugged together to form whole systems. Microsoft software (presumably) isn't one huge `if/elif/elif/...` in a single `while` loop, even though that would suffice in theory.

Likewise, I imagine Google's software isn't one giant formula, conditioned on inputs and sampled for outputs. Although many of their user-facing applications do contain a black box of this form (e.g. for translation, text-to-speech, etc.), they're only used in very narrow, well-defined tasks, and are surrounded by a huge amount of "normal" code.
By "prose" here I guess you mean comments? Strongly disagree. Most code should be self-documenting through variables, well organized functions, etc. Public APIs should contain lots of documentation, but the actual implementation code should be sparsely commented. Otherwise you now have two "code bases" to maintain.
Can I absolutely control my cost with AWS? I've read several horror stories about runaway costs for various reasons. Certainly the complexity of AWS, the fragmented nature of the service each of which seems a world unto itself make it hard to understand. Then there was a story about AWS changing a policy that ended up costing users $1000's. ????

> I don't experience a lot of obvious shilling on Reddit

It was more obvious before the election, when the shilling was so prevalent that different accounts were copy/pasting the exact same phrases into their comments. And you would see a new point brought up, then an hour or two delay, then a response would suddenly show up in multiple places, copy/pasted into many comments, in multiple accounts.

But watch /r/all sometimes... you'll see a topic just suddenly start appearing. As an example, you think Rick & Morty grew popular on reddit organically? No, that started over the course of about an hour one morning, as a clearly orchestrated effort, and it worked.

It doesn't happen all the time... quite a bit of reddit is still honest and organic. But watch it carefully, and enough of it is manipulated that I don't put much trust in what I see there.
Hmmm, some start writingGB17 on the position of the GB1, so your 1MB read/test will make all green.
At least here in Scandinavia, BRIO trains come close. They're utterly indestructible (like most Lego), and to the best of my knowledge any BRIO thingamajig ever made is compatible with any other; I had a hand-me-down set around 1980; today, I buy new kit for my kids to go along with the stuff I had. It all fits perfectly.

Risking dropping a genuinely useful feature for an engineering vanity project just to mark the 10th anniversary of a product feels very Tim Cook's Apple to me.

As Marco Arment put it on the ATP (ep. 229) podcast

>In so many recent Apple product developments, because so much of the low hanging fruit of modern hardware has been picked already. We are so often having to make progress only by making certain things worse or by giving up certain things we're not quite ready to give up yet, and we do this in order to get the new hotness.
Ad hominem comments are really unnecessary.
Your statement "Serverless is not a buzzword because it is the name used for a collection of technologies" is not logically true. There are many buzzwords referring to collections of technologies, and "serveless" is just one of them.
I reply to you, but mean both of you who replied to my comment.

Thanks! I was really not aware that this is a problem and will likely test my cards in trhe future.

This is atrocious.
How do you test a new server provider?
> e.g., B&H photo

I basically buy all my camera gear from B&H. The prices are competitive, their shipping is prompt and reliable, and I don't have to think about counterfeits - I have a fair amount of trust that they will not devastate their entire professional-oriented brand by allowing fakes into their supply chain. Getting something fake from B&H would probably be more shocking to me that getting it from an Apple store! Amazon is a different story - you can hardly tell if it's the "real" sandisk (or whoever) you're buying from. Hundreds of listings from hundreds of unknown sellers for the same thing, all slightly different, maybe backed by amazon, maybe not? No thanks.

I'd rather have a reasonable amount of trust in the distribution chain and not have to run checks when the thing arrives.
Editors really need to improve their support or comments. Currently, they're even deemphasised in some color schemes (looking at you VSCode).

I built a prototype for an Atom extension a while back that rendered Comment blocks with a markdown parser, inline, right in the editor.

I'm hoping that the VSCode team gets around to implementing the extension hooks necessary to implement this at some point, since I've switched away from Atom.
theese experiments are done for completly other purpose then this article suggest. otherwise "teleporting" photon would be pointless because you can just emit photon somewhere where you would like it to be. and it would be exactly the same photon. and not just "To all intents and purposes"
The third plot? It adds up to 100% by definition. ;)
Dutch / English auctions are respectively descending- and ascending-price auctions.

In an English auction the auctioneer starts at a lowball (possibly zero) price and gets increasingly higher bids until he's satisfied that the price can't go any higher. In a Dutch auction the auctioneer starts from a highball price and lowers it himself gradually until he gets a buyer.

A second, orthogonal issue is if an auction is if it's first price (as most auctions: best bidder pays best bid), second price (best bidder pays second best bid) or something more complicated. Economists love the idea of second price ("Vickrey") auctions, but I personally haven't seen it used.

I recommend Bob Milgrom's article "A primer on auctions". It's in the Journal of Economic Perspectives sometime in 88 or 89 I think.

Actually, there's very much a lot to recommend in the Journal of Economic Perspectives whenever you want to learn about something in economics. This journal focuses on publishing accessible surveys of research areas that are just beginning to solidify (and already have a "shape" to them), rather than publish new ideas. It has excellent curatorship and articles tend to be written by top experts in each field.
Haha, I apologize for the lack of React Native googling, but it was more of an example. Perhaps I should have omitted it, because it was the least meaningful part of my question.

Though, you did partially answer it. Apparently Aqua is the official kit for OSX. My next question would simply be, why isn't it more common? I so often see crappy UIs or hand made UIs, nothing feels as standard on Desktop as it does on Mobile.

I know I know, mobile suffers a lot too, but I think it suffers much less in recent years - the builtin UI frameworks have vastly improved. Yet, every Desktop app I use seems to have a different UI, a different style, a non-consistent interface.

Thoughts?

You might have the same reservations about buying AMD.
In other news, just 100 companies are responsible for making 71% of people overweight.
interesting. If this ever became law, it would incentivize hiring men over women because you'll get 5% less value out of hiring a woman employee.

the math: lets assume that there are 260 working days in a year. women get 12 extra holidays per year for their periods, which means they only work 248 out of the 260 days. 248/260 = 95.4%.

very interesting indeed.
Fedora 26 Linux Distribution Released – 7 Biggest Features and Torrent Links
When you're running megabytes of proprietary code on numerous processors in your laptop completely out of your control, why do you focusing on Intel ME? What about your network card which runs dedicated processor with some kind of operating system, executing firmware and processing every network frame before your OS receives it, for example?
AMD might be a better investment because of the stock price and their resurgence.

They aren't close to threatening NVIDIAs hold over GPU accelerated ML/Compute market just yet.

You can't buy a processor with comparable performance to a modern Intel without some kind of scary management engine. AMD has them too and Arm doesn't compete on performance.
What am I supposed to be doing? Proving a negative or something?
Oh well. Then I guess I'll have to find some topics and start posting/commenting. Thank you anyway :)
It seems to me that there's not much hope for an ME-less x86 compatible machine in the near future. Intel is pretty invested in the product and AMD has introduced a similar solution for their systems.

Another architecture all together, designed from the ground up to support a free and secure system, seems a better bet.
I've seen one team of devs in particular do a really nice job with their sql database, but more often than not dev teams trash their schema and databases, if they're using sql at all. They create rdbs that are not normalized, don't have foreign key constraints, too many indexes (index on every column to get this dashboard query to perform! I've seen this a sad number of times).

Yeah sure sys admins and dbas aren't critical, but if an organization values what they can do, they can multiply the productivity and effectiveness of the app and product teams.

Specifically, features are faster to implement because the schema is not jacked, the app is responsive and stable because the data is normalizesd and indexed for the access patterns, data is consistent. Customers are happy.

Similar for the network/server side for sys admins.
I have been coding on laptop, it's kind of bad of our back body, AR can help to bring 360 degree display so we won't have to switch/toggle our workflow all the time for hundred times a day.
The MIT OCW Advanced Data Structures course goes over these in pretty good detail. Definitely worth a watch.
"Serverless" is definitely not an "accurate description of AWS Lambda", because the work is done by servers.
As the parent mentioned, it would be a much more accurate description of P2P services/protocols.

About the sync: you can bypass the fs cache by specifying iflag=direct/oflag=direct.
Is it a good idea to buy GPU from mining farm? Surely it was overclocked and in bad thermal condition, so it could barely survive. I think, electronic circuits degrade in those circumstances, so this GPU won't last long.
There are open processor designs, e.g. many SPARC designs are published. You could run a reasonable webserver or what have you on those. But only the mega-corps chipmakers are going to be competitive with the current state of the art, and the mega-corp chipmakers are going to include ME or equivalent because their mega-corp clients want it.

More generally if the processor's going to have any dynamic internal logic then that has to run somewhere. Frequency scaling, wake-on-lan, microcode updates... you probably do want an ME-style embedded management processor that runs the processor's firmware just as you would for any other peripheral (hard drives, wifi controllers and so on all contain their own embedded ARM cores these days). ME itself isn't the issue - having what runs there be open and inspectable is.
I have yet to encounter a system that doesn't have some dramatic set of failures. I also have yet to encounter a system whose failures were not made dramatically more painful by 'players'.

I don't really care, I get paid by the Kochs to bash anything related to global warming. Going back to make a new account now, lol. The best part about this job is I can do it from the beach.
30% is not a small correction. Per definition, anything that is down more than 20% is in a bear market.

If the client is somewhat technical, and doesn't mind mucking around in markdown and the occasional html then sure, why not? But most of my clients prefer having a simple to use backend for updating the site.
> I'm sure Reddit staff will get onto it then keep a much closer eye on this firm

How can they connect this firm to random submissions and/or upvotes? I think even targeting fiverr would be difficult, because sellers aren't going to advertise which usernames they're going to us to vote.

This is a very difficult problem to properly solve. Even if they can somehow guarantee each user account is one unique individual, what's to stop a company paying 200 actual, real people to go and vote on something on reddit?
But doing that doesn't get the same PR credit for fighting sexism, and it costs a whole lot more money, so "what's the point?"
Are there any that aren't bullshit?

I'm debating just setting up a spaced repetition app with my own custom knowledge base. At least that way I may not be getting higher brain function, but higher retention on memory items I care about.
I agree with both the ATP guys and Gruber that I seriously doubt we're this close to production and Apple doesn't have this locked down. It was probably locked down quite a while ago. The hardware is almost certainly finalized.

Could there be an additional face-unlock feature in the software? They can decide on that much later. They could push it back (like Portrait mode in 10.1).

But I expect the hardware design is finalized.
And Drone CI which is the most similar to Circle CI
I generally agree and also have an XPS but one extremely annoying thing is switching the screen scaling. I usually am using external monitors but if I want to use the built-in screen I have to change a few settings and restart half my applications.

Hello, we're AgFlow and working to bring agricultural trade analytics to everywhere in real-time with easy to use tools for decision making. Our first goal was to scale data collection and to build a trustful network that will supply reliable data in a timely fashion. Currently, we have a lot of data, collected more than 200 public and private sources, to create stunning visualizations but it also waits for intelligent analysis. To achieve this next step, we need more bandwidth.

Car's don't self repair.

If I sit on my butt all day on a computer, my bones get thinner and weaker.

No matter how much you drive a car, it is never going to get "stronger", only slowly wear out.

Since you are a human and not a car, I would suggest you maintain your body like it is alive and not made of metal.

because it's not? Snapchat stories dude - that is the real conversation.
hey, personally I do feel really bad in the first day and when I need to go to work I always think "I wish I could stay at home and work from there", so it really impacts my performance and from one side it is indeed a great idea, but it is sexism towards men - they also feel bad from time to time, so why not unify this practice for all and just give more paid day-offs / sick leaves, as was already mentioned in the comment above. Also, I am not very comfortable letting everyone in the company know when the period starts and gossip about that (yes, this is also a topic for gossip).
My wife would love this if it were implemented here.
