We're a Mac shop developer-wise (I'm one of the dozen or so of us that runs Linux), and I hear no amount of grief from the Mac users for random problems with wifi, VPN, etc. They also complain of performance issues (hangs, lockups, etc.). Some of the perf problems are certainly caused by the "security" junk IT has put on the systems, which I'm lucky not to have. But overall I have fewer complaints running Linux on my dev box than other developers have with MacOS, it seems.

I wouldn't put a Linux desktop in front of a non-technical user (yes, I know, people are successful at this, but...), but I still find it to be a much better developer OS than MacOS is.

My current PIN is 6 digits, so ~7500 can also unlock my phone on a random guess. Chances are the first five people to try will trigger the passcode though.
This seems aimed squarely at VSCode. VSCode does a lot of this now out of the box (or with a few extensions). I think Atom is really just trying to keep up. I personally do not believe they have the horsepower to compete with Microsoft here though. VSCode is a phenomenal product.
I wouldn't be surprised if you could double-tap to zoom out, like when watching 4:3 videos on the current iPhone.

It's not about how close we are to "knowing most things," but about how accessible new learning is. In a game of musical chairs, all the easy chairs are taken.
You do have access to the source code of the underlying operating system itself with Darwin don't you?
Is that because of the faster refresh rate, or because none of those divide evenly into 144 and thus you're getting weird frame stretching?

Curious as I just got back into gaming after several years and everyone seems to love 144fps now, wondering if I should upgrade. I have a 1080Ti, so I could presumably render that

> Higher investment leads to more economic activity and more jobs

In some cases. Investing in the stock market doesn't. It's just a somewhat randomized wealth redistribution system. If I invest $1M in IBM, IBM doesn't see any of that money. Nor do the investors in IBM. It might move the price of a fraction of a penny, but the money just goes to whatever person sold their stock.

So, some investment (private companies, municipal bonds, etc) leads to more economic activity, but not all investment. I'd be interested to see the breakdown.
Maybe part of my reaction to this is a wish to avoid reinforcing the "Lisp is an interpreted language" meme.
I don't think it failed, it just said you had to use passcode on first login after restart, just like the touchID
I find Cinnamon to be quite a nice desktop experience too.
Elementary has a ton of hype so I tried it recently (laptop OS X, desktop Windows/Linux) and...man... Going to a well-supported desktop, and to the keyboard and the mouse I like should alleviate the hardware thing and it really doesn't. It's still GTK. And GTK just feels weird and gross regardless of hardware. As a GNOMEalike goes, Elementary seems just fine, probably a cut above (though it won't replace Mint/Cinnamon for me at the moment because I value how little Mint gets in my way). But it is still a GNOMEalike even with all its custom apps. It's really frustrating.
what theme is used in the screen shots?
I don't care today; I don't have a daily driver using this stuff today. I care for my future self who might have to deal with this.

It was my understanding that the major mainline distros adopted it because Red Hat coerced Gnome into adopting it, and everyone feels the need to support Gnome.

You don't hedge a stable currency with a volatile currency.
It's been years since I last used an IDE, but in my experience, they come with huge toolbars stuffed full of menus to open wizards with tons of options. The learning curve is just as steep.

Their advantage is that they provide lots of automatic features like spellcheck and autocomplete out-of-the-box, whereas you have to set these up yourself for Emacs/Vim.
I also struggle to believe that if you have a well recognized logo, unless your company's image is really, really poor, then redesigning your logo is anything other than a net negative.
To those who value freedom, MacOS lacks it. All Apple has to do is release their software under the GPL or similar, but they don't.

You and Apple may value technical aspects more than freedom, but not all do.
Yeah, some bizarre asymmetry there. I'd have preferred they just shrink the top/bottom bezels, similar to the Galaxy S8 or LG's V30. I can't see "the cutout" aging gracefully.
Will iphone X have passcode along with FaceId
There are many apps - SkyView for example. As you say, they've been here for several years, so I don't understand it either.
Having used both quite a lot, I much prefer Jekyll's template language as it's easier to use and more readable. It's a lot easier to install plugins to extend Jekyll as well. However, Hugo coming in a single binary makes it easy to get working when you come back to a site you've not updated in a while (my Jekyll toolchain was a combination of Ruby + Node + Gulp that felt brittle but could be improved with some work), it's suppose to be significantly faster (I've seen people saying it takes Hugo seconds to generate thousands of posts compared to minutes with Jekyll) and I've had less issues with Hugo's watch feature (Jekyll doesn't refresh when you change files sometimes for me). I don't use a lot of plugins or complex templates so the speed and simplicity of Hugo is a big factor for me.
If you deliberately buy a computer to run Linux, as you do with macOS, there really isn't any fixing involved nowadays. It just works. You may need to disable SecureBoot.
I think we mostly agree on most things were talking about.

>> I don't think that economic parity across nations should be a primary goal of any nation's policy, but I do think it is basically an inevitable, positive side effect of trade.

> This should definitely be a goal of anyone who cares about alleviating global poverty and suffering.

Agreed it is very admirable to spend your wealth, time, or influence in a ways that alleviate real poverty around the world. However I don't think it is in the contract between citizens of a nation that their taxes should be spent on this to a large extent.

> It's not though, because the sudden influx of foreign money in a concentrated number of hands causes inflation in the home country, making the cost of living higher for those living there, while the majority are still working lower paying jobs. Not to mention the efficiency loss from the fact they're driving down wages in the host country; so they're losing market value on one end, and then driving inflation on the other (and when prices are higher than the local economy can support it's not efficient).

Being from the US where people want to immigrate to, I haven't thought about this a whole lot and not sure if I understand all of what you are saying. Surely having a wealthy outside investor who is originally from your own country is better or at least equal to another outside investor? Do people lose voting rights when they emigrate, for most countries? (not rhetorical)

> Also, maximum efficiency often comes at the cost of driving the price of labour down. If everything was 100% efficient, far less labour would be required than is being used right now, so in the end it comes down to ownership of capital and how things are distributed.

Again agreed, although the price of capital and living should also be falling! I am not sure what we are talking about with regard to good and bad economics being a thing. All of that was just answering your correct call for clarification about what I meant above.

If you follow HN daily you'll notice these obsessions around certain subjects that often stretch for years. P-hacking and the reliability of scientific papers is one of these. This is just another article in that series.
Seems completely useless to me. Apple has lost it's focus. I'm thinking of switching to Android for the first time since iPhone 3G. The only reason I'm still on iOS is for iMessage/Facetime.
Well I think it runs about $5 to prioritize a bitcoin transfer at this point (mentioned elsewhere in the thread). If you want to do a traditional wire, which takes about 2 hours to process, it runs $25 at most financial institutions.
Typed Forth is a new idea, isn't it? Seems novel.
I'm from southern NY, and where I grew up, you would refer to state highway 110 as "110" or "Route 110". Interstate 495 is "495" or "the L.I.E." Named roads like the Northern State Parkway or the Thruway get the definite article, but numbered roads either get the type of road mentioned, or nothing at all: "I 87" or just "87"

This is the same where I now live in New England, as well. "495", "128", "Route 3", "Route 1", "The Mass Pike"

HDR is just another gimmick that will probably not scale into anything long-lasting, nor anything beneficial to the consumer.

It's being used to remove all that remains of the realism and life-like immersion of visual media in this insanely media-illiterate world. Right up Apple's alley, actually.

EDIT: People who are downvoting me are doing so because they don't know anything about video.

EDIT #2: I am very disappointed in the non-factual answers to my post, and that people would choose to downvote rather than jump in with anything even remotely accurate or helpful. These technologies are major components to the future of the web, and people on HN best become media literate if they want to keep their comfy jobs.
I was a fan of Atom until I tried VSCode. Call me a shill, if you will, but it is an all around better experience and I haven't looked back.

I've seen Autopilot 2 fail to notice cyclists. But then, it's designed for use on large, fast roads, rather than city streets.

I cycle through the streets of London every day, BTW, so I'm not suggesting that it's lack of recognition ability is a good thing.
Iphone x
During WWDC 1998, Steve Jobs announced Mac OS X (as a change from the original Rhapsody strategy) while Mac OS 8.1 was still current. There is precedent by Apple to announce version X before version 9 is released.
I know this report. This does not deal with the bias problem however. Obviously it reduced the number of accidents in good road conditions where the autopilot works and is primarily used (much like auto-stop feature did and BLIS). Particularly after they introduced the driver monitoring (this report was conducted after that) - now in fact the driver using autopilot is likely more alert then one not using it.

But that does not indicate anything about conditions where autopilot should not be used in which it is gravely dangerous.

It is all about tail of the distribution, which why it is not so obvious.
Most importantly, VS Code does all this with a lot better performance and without Facebook.

I used to think so too. I used ubuntu desktop and macbook for laptop for years. But every year the macbook has shifted to be more for your grandmother than me. Its always been overpriced but for the hardware you are getting now you really have to accept that you are a sucker to buy one. At an OS level everything is slightly different- different versions of tools, different packages, etc. My software is going to run on redhat or ubuntu based servers in production, so using those OS's everywhere makes life just a little bit more pleasant. And, do I even have to mention that stupid fucking strip at the top? What kind of programmer is ok with a virtual ESC key? I dont really pay attention to mac news but the last series had a huge battery problem that the company didnt seem to even bother fixing?

Windows for PUBG and Overwatch. Linux for everything else. But yeah if my grandmother asked me to get her a laptop I'd probably go with a mac.
There is a similar project called "Build Your Own Lisp"[0] (BYOL), which is a book that walks one through making a Lisp in C. Has anybody here done BYOL? How does it compare to MAL? If you had to choose one to learn how to create a Lisp, which would you choose?

I put right in my comment:

> are either writing Windows software

I assume most people in the game industry need their game to run on Windows or use hardware that only works with Windows (like a dev kit for a console).

Unless you are talking Web and mobile games, in which case, most of the web gave devs I know use Mac and so do most of the mobile devs (thanks the the difficulty deving for iOS on Windows).

But that is why I called it an "anecdote"... your milage may vary.
It saves me accounting fees for the year ;). It comes out to just under $4k in savings for the year.

Not a major loophole, but its a nice little bonus.
Arugueably I'm in a hurry anytime I do a monetary transaction. Except my check to the landlord, he's never in a hurry for me.
No one wants to wait for a transaction. "Let me wait 5m for my ATM to give me my money."
It was said that they worked with some best Hollywood make up artists that make masks.
That matches what they did to touch ID in iOS 10: unlocking no longer actually took you to the home screen, just left you on the lock screen with your phone unlocked for... some... reason. There is a setting to change it, maybe there will be one for this as well.
These people have quite simply configured their DNS wrong--all DNS servers are expected to return the same results, so it can't matter which server the resolver uses. But their misconfiguration happens to work most of the time for their use case. The solution is either to implement a "bug-compatible" priority flag in resolved, or to make that a first-class use case with its own flag ("emergency backup nameserver"?).

It's a classic case...should the software follow the spec, or the real-world usage? And people complain either way.
I think it was reported here that Samsung just stored a jpeg of your face on the local file system and did a simple compare. But sure, they get to claim being first. I suspect Apple is okay with that.
Could you elaborate what specifically is wrong with what transverse is claiming?
I would have to side with systemd project here. I had never heard of the ordering of the DNS servers being meaningful, and I'm amazed people are relying on that behaviour described in the ticket.

systemd appears to be the only project where getting rid of legacy cruft is seen as a bad thing. Having a DNS setup that works in a different way when stuff fails should be seen as a bug; DNS is supposed to be reliable.
So windows Hello, which also uses 3D models, has been available for years.

As to banks, I'm fairly sure (although I have no inside knowledge) that the banks won't have been allowed to review this technology in advance of the release, so they have no real assurance here.

You can of course assume it's secure and as usuable as TouchID, but I'm guessing the devil will be in the detail on this one.

But what of the time, stress, etc.?

Merchants don't bear the cost, the consumer does. The merchant might not hand me a bill but that cost is embedded somewhere in the price.

The bottomline is the consumer pays. No matter how you cut it, the consumer always pays.
> Californian use of the definite article when identifying numbered roadways, e.g. "I took the 5.".

Huh, that's pretty standard here in the greater Toronto area (e.g. the four-o-one, the four-o-seven), in context it also works for TTC route numbers (the five-o-one, the five-eleven).
Honestly, it only gets richer in the context of this comment from Kahneman. The core of the book (parts III and IV) don't rely on priming or other small N studies.

Isn't the whole point of HDR to make things even more lifelike and immersive?

From a technical standpoint 8-bits-per-color was never enough to display anywhere near the full spectrum. I've also personally been peeved with the flat, weak-ass dynamic range on most TVs and anything to add a few bits to the stream seems like a win in my book.

Unless, somehow, this ends up stuck in a rut in the uncanny valley (or someone wants to make the filesize argument), how is improved dynamic range a bad thing?
Transaction fees/speed don't matter on Bitcoin
Stable according to whom? Check out all that stability in Venezeula.
Well, it was. I think the high water mark for MacOS as a Unix-with-a-nice-UI will, in retrospect, be back around 10.8 or 10.10. The latest iterations have been stagnation in most respects, except for iOS-like functionality that's been forklifted over, and increasing lockdown that makes it hard for a user to have control over their own hardware. Oh, and broken binary compatibility with older versions of the OS (by removing ObjC GC support), which is really just nice.

Every OS manufacturer has tried its hand at "convergence" across desktops and mobile. Apple seems no different. I'm not sure why, but OS vendors seem drawn to the concept like moths to a flame, and it's always a mess.
It would have been nice if Seafile had a verified client-side encryption mechanism, but after reading about how they do it, it seemed like a horrible hack. This is why I looked into borg, which does have stronger encryption, allowing the data to be synced to a 3rd party (S3).

All that said, no, there were no guides for this. I quite like Seafile as an app, but wanted to make sure it's all (somewhat securely) backed up, so I hacked all of this together myself.
This is absolutely infuriating. Amazing how one file added to the repo can kill the project.
>Also, non-white Americans are imprisoned at much higher rates than white-skinned ones, so that would seem to corroborate my number closely.

That is probably a factor, but there are other factors too such as the demographic shift currently occurring in the US due to higher non-white birth rates and thus a higher percentage of the non-white population still being younger than 16 and thus falling out of the "civilian noninstitutional population".

>That is a certainty.

Sorry, but "That is a certainty" doesn't cut it for me. That's merely a claim or thesis, not a statement of fact, not necessarily wrong but not necessarily true or the whole picture either.

Same for your other claims.

What I find interesting is you instantly leaping to "discrimination/oppressions explains it all". While it is absolutely necessary to look for and fight against discrimination, making bold claims without supporting evidence and suggesting those are facts, while neglecting to look for other potential factors, is not really helpful in my humble opinion (it is a little as to raising awareness and starting conversations in the first place).
You could be right, but it seems to me there is a lot of data going into that thing, if it is designed to not just check the data for matches, but also self-consistency across inputs it could be a pretty high bar... I imagine it does depth, IR temp checking (nose colder than face, etc.), image, and maybe even a couple ms of time monitoring to make sure the face is pliable and maybe even has realistic deformability.
Is it just me or does the big fat shiny frame on the iPhone 10 completely destroy it's aesthetic appeal and kills the 'infinity' effect?

It looks really clunky to me.
face id, Samsung did that before

No, they didn't. What Samsung did was release software that mimicked facial recognition. In fact, it mimicked it so well, people were convinced that Samsung did it first. What Samsung actually did was implement software that would sometimes coincidentally "recognize" a face, and more often would "recognize" a photo of the target user. What Samsung didn't do was implement facial recognition that was reliable and secure, which I think is what most people think of when they think "facial recognition".
Is it unknowable? Couldn't you take a population of recent studies (because IIRC, the field has never been as homogeneous as it is today) and compare the reproducibility of non-political studies with political studies? Obviously some care needs to be taken with how we code "political" and "non-political", but I would think that could at least give a pretty good indication about the effect.

It would also be interesting to repeat the experiment with studies from different points in time (when there was more ideological diversity) to see how the effect varies with homogeneity. My guess is that if there is an effect, it varies nonlinearly with diversity--in other words, a field with 90% political homogeneity might have an effect that is ten times that of the same field when it was only 70% homogeneous. I suspect that once you hit 90%, dissent is much more effectively suppressed than at 70%. But maybe not?
