I bought the laptop because I didn't want a new Macbook. I ended up regretting it a little bit since I don't love the trackpad.

> If Netflix doesn’t buy ads against "chill"

I wonder if there's a potential issue with trademarks there. If "Netflix and chill" becomes popular enough, does Netflix end up just being a generic word for watching online TV?
XPS 13 on linux (ubuntu) here, the support is very good. The HiDPI screen need some configuration but most apps will run out of the box, some need to set a parameter for pixel density. Most issues can be solve by looking in the ArchWiki (https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/HiDPI).

Horribly unguided comment. The Zen architecture outperforms Intel at smiliar or lower TDPs. Their drivers have aren't top notch but after a month or two the drivers are stable and performance is better than ever.

Additionally if you think RX Vega is "garbage" you're a bit of a clown. Only because it doesn't outperform the fastest GPU in the world does not mean it's garbage.

Who is this for then? I should just go Nvidia for my gaming rig?

The RX 480 last year had an amazing price/performance ratio. It was a very exciting product for the mid range gamer. It seems with Vega they are offering slightly worse than Nvidia's high end for slightly less money.

Better performance at the same price would have been compelling. Slightly worse at a bargain price would have been compelling.

Plus, you won't be able to buy these anyway because of mining. This is just sad. Maybe they should just remarket themselves as a mining company.
In the Swedish voting system, there is one ballot per party, and you put the ballot for the party you are voting for into an envelope and put that envelope into the ballot box.

You only need a pen/pencil if you want to change the parties default ranking of their candidates (e.g. who in the party you want to see as prime minister) or you want to vote for a minor party which doesn't have ballots (write-in votes)

[I'm not endorsing the Swedish system just explaining how it works]

> evasion of governmental restrictions ... core use case for Bitcoin

I think you're absolutely right, with the caveat that...

Yes, just because people are coming to Bitcoin with this in mind, does not mean that ultimately Bitcoin is successful at that use case.

Graphs like this coin flow graph[1] and the story[2] that goes with it, make claims that Bitcoin users can more successfully evade government restrictions, seem particularly dubious.

Coinbase, a licensed Money Service business, follows Know Your Customer and grows increasingly interested in their customers. I recently had to answer a follow-up survey about how I use Bitcoin and where my income is coming from, in order to withdraw less than $1000.

It would have been pretty easy to lie on this survey (and the questions were particularly non-invasive) but there's not really any doubt in my mind that Bitcoin is a platform where the users can be tracked.

We're running out of examples of major Bitcoin heists that went unsolved.

Bitcoin is absolutely more trackable than cash, and in a lot of cases (although maybe not so much for "tracking users" who are associated with governments, that already likely do have access to databases which the rest of us don't... but for the unprivileged anonymous internet users who are interested in tracking) Bitcoin is significantly more transparent and even more trackable than the banking system.

I am definitely out of band. While I did some EE coursework, I've taken zero CS courses. I have a Ph.D., but took one single course in C. I only programmed because I had to. I only did IT because I needed to.

I don't know where the barrier is. I can explain how a CPU works, the various protocols for some networking, etc... Those are what I'd say are at a superficial level. I haven't even built my own system - for years.

My son knows a bit, though his older sister knows less of the technical aspect - and she's a physician. She is a bit older than him. I'm not sure if it is strictly an age thing, I guess.

That's patently untrue as a blanket statement. I NEVER use my debit cards for purchases, only my credit cards. I pay all of my bills in full every month. I use my credit cards because I'm not risking the security of my primary checking account in online transactions, and also because I've collected ~ $2000 in rewards in the first half of this year alone by using my credit cards ...

A lot of small businesses get caught up in structuring charges. The IRS requires banks to report deposits of greater than $10,000. But it's illegal to break up a large deposit into multiple deposits that are less than $10,000. (IANAL, so I'm not sure if you have to do this with the intent of actually avoiding the reporting requirement.)

For lots of small businesses in cash-heavy markets (e.g., gas stations or convenience stores), it's pretty easy to end up making a series of $8000 deposits and end up being charged with structuring. Regardless of whether you can beat the charge, the cost of having to defend yourself is punishment enough.

Of course, you can argue that this isn't really common --- most people aren't small business owners who happen to be making just under $10,000 every week. But the point is that even though each of these laws ends up targeting a small fraction of people, there are enough of them that everyone ends up violating a few of them at some point.

The policy is also harmful to innovation.

If a Google-like competitor started, all Google would have to do to crush them is demand big-name sites formally prohibit the competitor from accessing their content or risk being delisted. And magically, it becomes impossible/illegal to build a duck-duck-go.

Yes, I think it is wrong to compare them directly. I think Twitter has room to cut employee count, but not by order of magnitude.

Instagram had 20 at the time of acquisition, I bet it's much bigger now. They had a single product, no ad tech platforms, no working business model. Twitter has multiple products and several (acquired, partly failed) ad platforms. Also Instagram were able to build on top of modern cloud technologies and scalable infrastructure services like AWS. Twitter was launched same year that AWS, so I think Twitter has paid a price by building it's own infrastructure. Instagram likely used a lot of outsourced people too to run all non-core things. Both Instagram and Whatsapp were clearly amazing, well-functioning technology teams to be able to execute with such small teams, but they were still very early in developing their revenue engines.

I think employee count and costs are not Twitter's biggest problem per se. They still have quite good financial situation, $4B in cash and equivalents, IIRC. The problem is that they haven't found a working ad model. Performance marketing has made both Google and Facebook the revenue engines that business has never seen before. Twitter could still do something similar but on the smaller scale.

I also had the swollen battery problem but my 9550 - my trackpad eventually got pushed up 1/4 of an inch or so. The bummer was that my laptop was out of warranty and the battery is not a "user serviceable option" on the 9550 so I couldn't just order a replacement battery from Dell -- they wanted me to send it in and wait two weeks which was a non-starter as it is my main development machine. I ended up buying a used battery off of some guy on Amazon along with a screwdriver kit with a T5 bit. It took me all of 10 minutes to replace the battery.

I haven't had any other problems but the fact that they won't allow end-users to replace such a simple part as the battery will make me think hard when I replace this laptop.
Alts, like internet startups in the Dotcom era, fall into three categories:
1. Genuinely new ideas from clueless people who will fail (because they don't understand that distributed systems are hard, Satoshi made it look easy)
2. Genuinely new ideas from good devs that will succeed (extremely rare, I consider that Bitcoin is the only chain that meets that requirement for me, though some others might in the future)
3. Blatent schemes to try and grab money because there is huge interest.

It's really hard to tell what category something is going to fall into... but the thing is, bitcoin has had massive returns and if you can produce a really good innovation, the impact on society and consequently the returns could be equally massive.

So yes there is a lot of speculative money out there, but the only way to tell the good from the crap is to do your due diligence.

For me, even if the good is %1 (and I think it's a bit less than that right now) it's ok.
Slightly worse for slightly cheaper could still be attractive. Factor in prices for displays with freesync display vs displays with gsync, and the price difference to Nvidia get a a lot bigger, in favor of AMD. But it depends on whether the cards will be available, and which performance will be reached.
Do Giphy actually host Gifs anymore? I noticed how they make it very hard to actually access the image version, and even this image is in webp, so you can't embed it. It's all iframes.

This is not saying they're bad, I totally can relate with their need to cut costs because just hosting these gifs for free and letting anyone <img src> them is not a profitable decision, but then again, it's not really Gif anymore.

So even in this case the "sponsored gif" would probably be some sort of a video instead of an actual gif.

Nowadays whenever I want to search for a gif I want to use for a blog post or website, I have given up looking for gifs on giphy and just go to google search instead. The "gifs" on giphy are unusable for my purpose.

That's the wrong question, it does not matter what the default value in the distro installer partitioning step is. What matters is that LUKS (often labelled as full-disk encryption or similar) is easily available at install time, and consequently enjoys popular adoption and use.
That point (arbitrary domains) become less impressive for me when I knew everybody can have some less known knowledge to others.

Yeah totally agree, raised too much money and won't be able to live up to the hype. Probably could have been bootstrapped into a modest company instead.

Because unfortunately many, many libraries and templating engines rely on evaling code.

Generated code is code that's outside of the package.

There are also a few (keyword: FEW) valid reasons for using eval in situations where it's beneficial to pull updates and modules from a known and trusted location.

In those cases though, if you're not signing server side and validating signatures in the extension with a pre-shared cert, you've still got problems (single MITM attack can compromise your extension going forward).

Long story short, eval is still a very useful feature. It needs to be used properly, and it should be used rarely, but it's incredibly powerful, and lots of things you don't really think about suddenly stop working if it goes away.

It seems everyone is recommending books/courses/similar. I'll go the other way around. This is difficult for me to say, but I think I am an expert in CSS+JS. I know the inner workings and really advanced things of CSS, and while JS API is quite broader I know some in-depth JS APIs that your average developer doesn't even know exists.

I got to this point first in CSS and then with JS by making side projects and focus each one on a different advanced concept. I will also say it in 1st person as I experienced it as it might sound insulting otherwise:

- Don't get attached to my code. My code is crap. My 6+ months old code is a lot more crap. Always think ways of improving it. Sidenote: try to make it as standard of possible. Initially I did things my way until my open source started to get some traction and it was a mess.

- Once I got past the basics and mid-level, what I did to keep up learning was to try to focus each small side project around a technology I wanted to learn in-depth. Examples: Umbrella JS[1] is about a modular codebase, Superdom [2] is about Proxy, drive-db [3] is about talking with external APIs and DB design, etc.

- Push the limits on the technology on each project. Don't just do the basics and call it a day, try to find what is possible and what is not. Examples: Umbrella JS'[1] performance is similar to jQuery thanks to using the prototype properly, Superdom's [2] Proxies are recursive-ly, drive-db [3] is cached for maximum performance, etc.

- If I don't use it no one will. Publish it for feedback after it is polished from feedback from different projects. Focus on the positive comments to keep going and on the negative ones to keep improving. Because I know my code is crap, when someone says X is quite bad I agree on principle and find a way to fix it or prove to myself that it _was_ the right approach. Examples: Umbrella JS initial code wasn't good for the different ways of importing it, so I added a UMD-ish kind of thing. Superdom was really buggy so I had to write a few tests all around it. drive-db was not good for promises-based code so I converted it to ES7.

There is something I haven't made which I am trying now that it's reading and understanding large, public projects such as Ghost. I have done something similar while contracting, but those closed-source project's code is IMHO generally messier and you are normally trying to go for business requirements, not really focusing on pleasure/learning so much.

That's not meant to be a cron cheatsheet though. That's a showcase of what this service supports in cron jobs. Also, if it was a cheatsheet, then it'd be a useless one as crontab(5) is roughly 5 pages long and quite digestible. I guess we need a better search frontend for man pages.
