Well tough - by your argument companies that adulterate food should be protected because "think of the workers" - though in China they have put people in front of a firing squad for food adulteration scandals.
Maybe I'm just not as knowledgeable as the elite of the hackerati, but I haven't noticed HP doing anything relevant in at least 10 years.

These days everyone I know codes on a Mac. Most bulk order desktops I see are Dells.

I ask seriously, with no intention to troll: what is HP good for these days?
How did you ensure one app wasn't much louder than the other ?
During the era of "duck and cover," the Soviets had an extremely limited ability to strike the US. They had a mediocre bomber fleet which would probably have been torn to pieces by North American air defense. They had ICBMs from the late 50s, but not in significant numbers until well into the 60s. The popular idea of nuclear war starting with thousands of warheads coming in over the pole all at once wasn't really a possibility until the 70s or so.
That's not the title of the article at all.
85% of all antibiotics sold are for livestock. The volume of antibiotic given to animals, and the cramped and dirty living conditions of many farms results in a damn good engine for creating antibiotic resistant bacteria
Well, maybe in the later days, but there was a long time when it didn't work well at all. I remember having to mess with the ALSA configuration to make it work. And then you also had apps which only supported OSS and getting them to work together with ALSA was an additional pain.
My Experience Visual Studio vs. IntelliJ
I've spent the last 15 + years using Visual Studio. For the past 9 months I've been using IntelliJ IDEA and Maven for Java. Am I biased for Visual Studio? Probably. For years, I took debugging for granted in web projects using Visual Studio. I have yet to get debugging working in IntelliJ. I've bee resorting to System.out.println(). Why is it such an ordeal to get debugging working in a web project with Java and Tomcat? Plus, IntelliJ doesn't have debugging for Tomcat in their free version.

Next, Visual Studio and C# had nice edit and continue debugging features. I can't even get debugging working in IntelliJ.

What about JavaScript debugging? In Visual Studio, I could make a change and click save, click alt-tab, hit refresh on my browser, and instantly see my changes. It is around a second to make a JavaScript change, save it, and see the changes in my browser after clicking refresh.

With IntelliJ and Maven, I have to build my web project for about 15 seconds. If I refresh my browser too early, I keep refreshing again and again, because I can't consistenly time it. Since I'm running IntelliJ on Linux in Oracle Virtual Box, I have to find my way out to my browser on my host machine without a simple alt-tab.

Then of course, IntelliJ doesn't provide free JavaScript autoformatting. This feature is only available in the upgraded version. So, I'm constantly hand formatting my JavaScript, which is time-consuming and annoying.

My verdict - Visual Studio is much better to develop and debug in.
I think you're confusing the act of making music with musical notation. This app is clearly trying to teach you how to play music, not how to read notation.

I don't see the problem in an alternative notation if it's easier to read (I don't know if it is, I've never used the app).

jklein11,

Thank you for your response and advice. Yes, she owns the license as well as the new firm she joined has purchased the software they use. She doesn't want to go through re-installing and asking for the software again because of the time crunch she is in.

The suggestion in buying a new laptop at this time is not an expense we can take on. I will have to think of something else as the clean wipe is the only way to do it I guess.

Thank you.
Embedded guy here.

I love old cores. All the quirks are known, and the price continues to drop year-after-year which is great for my BOM and thus my margins.

I'm still shipping HCS09 cores from 20-30 years ago. NXP will be making these until the Sun explodes.

So what's your beef about a part being "old"?
I haven't had a problem with that at all, so I'm not sure :)

So you want to keep your own economic flexibility (rent without buying, leave at will), but you want city/state to forfeit their economic flexibility (subsidy your rent, don't kick you out)?

Can you see a problem here?
You need context for that. Clearly something like this isn't for getting your head around avantgarde music.

I say the more tools the better. People will outgrow their instrument fairly quickly if it's too limiting and then just move on to something new.
> The job seeker may be in dire need of a job. Hardly a fair stand for any negotiations at all.

Precisely, and that job seeker may be completely oblivious to the fact that the employer may be offering 100 but actually pays 200 to all workers on similar positions within the company filled by less qualified people, and may have some urgency trying to fill the job opening.

As the job seeker falls victim tho the information asymmetry, he proceeds to get screwed over and receive half of what he would otherwise get.

> If you feel completely well before you finish that course, you should be encouraged to call your physician to discuss if it is safe to stop early.

Not suggesting this is bad advice in general, but man, elsewhere in the world do doctors still speak to patients on the phone?

I remember it being possible as a child, but living as an adult in Australia I'm yet to find a doctor who takes phone calls. They won't speak to you at all unless you book an appointment.

Don't know if you noticed, but a few years ago a ton on the on-box help content in Windows got replaced with fwlinks. I'm pretty sure it was because they realized they were spending a ton of money on shipping and localizing content that people would just ignore in favor of search results. Open notepad and look at Help->View Help for an example.
That's like saying any function is a function from its argument and itself to its output i.e. rather silly.

Determining lanes for map navigation is a big problem. I had a buddy that was responsible for mass export of Verizon telemetry data from Verizon to a third company. Their "holy grail" was to be able to determine lanes through triangulation in a timely manner (2008-2009ish). Don't know if the problem ever got solved and it would have only been relevant in dense metropolitan areas.

Play piano, not learn to play piano. Semantics but I think it's important the title of the Show HN taken into consideration.

This is a really nice write up. The automated recipient for testing is particularly cool.

The problem with it though is that the average person isn't going to read 10 pages of configuration and warnings to set up an email client. Hell I doubt the average person who works in tech will even bother with that, let alone John Q. Public.

Also minor nitpick:

> Before configuring GnuPG though, you'll need the IceDove desktop email program installed on your computer. Most GNU/Linux distributions have IceDove installed already, though it may be under the alternate name "Thunderbird."

That's backwards. Thunderbird is the root name of the software and IceDove is Debian's debranded / rebranded version of it. Also, I don't think it's actually installed by default on most desktop Linux systems.
I never understand this. I don't mind the borrow checker, I mind the affine type system. It really bugs me that I can't pass the same String into two functions in series, or why preventing that would be a desirable language property.

My point wasn't that Snap (et al) were supermarkets; my point was that the US and Saudi Arabia sharing Snap allowed the Saudi Arabians to see metaphorical supermarkets inside of the US by easing communication.

I believe that this is significantly more powerful than the other thing, precisely because revealing a failure of providing a standard of living is more motivational than revealing the use of power in a regime like Saudi Arabia.

The Wage Gap Is Following Women into Homeownership
I asked the same question here when this went up but I haven't heard anything from anyone. I have a feeling as Bitcoin goes more and more mainstream wallets will get cheaper. It's pretty ridiculous to expect people to pay $50-100 for a single wallet that could easily be lost. Especially when hardware is getting so cheap, there is no excuse for the prices. Either an open source alternative will bring the price down or competition but right now I think the answer to our question is unfortunately, no.
The other replies are already telling you that these are just examples. I want to stress that these are completely unrelated examples, which is bad form IMO.

If the first example had been kept, then the second would have been "Error = (6 - (2·3 + 1))² + (9 - (2·6 + 1))² + (18 - (2·12 + 1))² = (-1)² + (-4)² + (-7)² = 66", which is what compute_error_for_line_given_points evaluates to.

The third would have been "Error = (6 - (m·3 + b))² + (9 - (m·6 + b))² + (18 - (m·12 + b))² = 3·b² + 42·b·m - 66·b + 189·m² - 576·m + 441" and its derivative would have to be taken in two directions, giving "dError/dm = 42·b + 378·m - 576" and "dError/db = 6·b + 42·m - 66". Visualizing that slope would require a 3D plot.
Hp does a lot of servers, switches, blade systems, and plenty of other Enterprise equipment. As well as all of the different management software that runs them. They are also a major open stack contributor.

Your point of view is too common here, people only look at the consumer products and have no knowledge of operations.

I really have no idea how much untreated water is worth at the source. I now how much it costs me when it's treated and pumped to my house, but I don't know how much the raw water is worth.

If it's worth more than that, maybe the agency selling permits should charge more. It's hardly Nestle's fault if they paid the required fee for their use.

Facebook and Google make most of their money from ads. That's a big similarity. I'd even say that they are each others biggest competitor.
I'd be more accepting of that if they actually tested before saying "there's nothing we can do".

I had a seven week bout with bronchitis recently because the first three doctors I went to insisted "it's viral, there's nothing we can do" without doing a sputum test. When I finally found someone who would give me a Z-pak it cleared up in three days after weeks of misery.

It's also a problem when the system has swung so far the other direction that you can't get medication you actually need.

I teach HS chemistry. We don’t really cover alchemy. Most of the history we do covers the development of atomic theory starting with Dalton, a brief mention of the Greeks and Democritus, and the history of the periodic table.

Even that history is pretty brief. Unfortunately the state standards are a mile wide and an inch deep so we really have to move quick. Much quicker than I would like.
They are still huge in the server market.
I keep seeing this argument in this thread and quite frankly I'm dumbfounded. Last time I've had this issue was more than a decade ago on FreeBSD and it was solved by tweaking my OSS config to enable multiple channels. I've never, ever had this issue with Alsa. And I'm not a fan of Alsa either, PA just managed to be even more opaque and less reliable in my experience.

Now, it's just anecdotic evidence of course but basic audio mixing is not exactly rocket science, you shouldn't need something as convoluted as PulseAudio to get it right. I mean, what the hell: https://gavv.github.io/blog/pulseaudio-under-the-hood/diagra...

Some power users might need these additional features, I don't. I wouldn't mind having all of that if the basics just worked reliably but they don't.

These days disabling PA is my go-to first step while troubleshooting audio issues on linux and more often than not I don't have to go to step #2.

Referring to the "more free" version of something as the primary version is an fsf hallmark. Not sure if it is sarcasm or a activism/messaging thing.
It's not only cheaper to feed animals antibiotics, but it also makes the animals put on more weight quicker, which is monetarily beneficial for the farmers/companies in the industry. From whatever I have read (over time), this is a routine practice in most places around the world.

Unless serious action is taken around the world to reduce or eliminate this practice, the disturbing predictions on untreatable epidemics may come true within the next couple of decades (there are already thousands of people dying every year because their infections cannot be treated with the antibiotic arsenal we have).
Most of the antibiotics used on animals are different than the ones used in humans.
I don't: wireless headphones seem strictly worse in every way than wired. They require batteries and charging; they introduce lag; they are expensive; they are easier to lose; they don't have a convenient cable to hang on to.

Enterprise. Basically horribly overpriced clunky systems for back offices of non tech companies. For example CRMs or any custom proprietary stuff, usually involving lots of Java and XML, integrations with other horrible enterprise systems from other players in the field like Oracle, SAP etc.

It's really hard to understand this from HN startup / open source / Go/Rust/NodeJS bubble but most of IT is enterprise and it's the reason why companies like HP, Dell, Oracle, SAP are making billions of dollars even though to average HN poster paying for any of their horrible products seems crazy.

True. An emacs which supported the framebuffer could do this (but GNU emacs currently only supports vt100, X, macOS & Windows, IIRC).
The sentence comes from the article and summarizes it pretty well.

I don’t think that’s a very good description of U3, which is the headline rate the US typically uses. Specifically, labor force participation is usually a shorthand for overall workforce participation, looking at everyone of prime working age; that’s not U3. All unemployment measures are linguistically indistinguishable from “labor force participation rate”, so there’s nothing special about the US there.

I agree that U6 and prime age labor force participation rates are both weak, and relevant to worker bargaining power, but to argue that U3 has no basis in reality is absurd.

If I’m looking for labor this month, my pool of applicants will be coming from the U3 pool, people who are actively looking for work.

High U6 unemployment suggests I might do better to raise wages slightly, rather than aggressively, if I urgently need workers.
