I reckon it has something to do with the graphics stack. Have you tried running anything graphic intensive on the Mac? Every same program no matter how well-written runs faster on Windows. To be fair I haven't tried any Metal games (if they even exist?), but I guess it is somehow harder to write games that are performant on the Mac?

I prepay my $36/year in iCloud storage for all of our synced family photos by purchasing a gift card each year and then applying it to my iTunes account (instead of dinging my CC $3/month, which is just annoying).
Tl;dr - It looks like a rebranding to charge more for single creative pro users that previously would have gotten nearly the same benefits of the personal plan for, I think, half the price. They are injecting a tier in between the normal plan and the teams / business plan.

Selective sync isn't actually new despite the marketing spin that now it's available on a per file level. Nor are expiring and protected links. The webpage builder tool is new.

Edit: Surprised to see someone downvoted this. Look at Dropbox's feature page… this stuff already exists.
Why is Dropbox straying so far from its core mission and competency?

Edit

It seems like they're bloating up the product with features that have little relation to the core mission of providing secure storage, access, and sharing for files.

As a user and investor, I'd rather see:

- Better, more competitive pricing.

Or if that's not an option, at the very least..

- Stick to relevant technological innovation. For example, wouldn't it be cool if intelligent caching and network awareness would let you turn a 1TB drive into a 5TB drive? That would be a much more compelling story.

Given the stiff competition in the space, all this holds doubly true imho.
I think the idea being that generally, two people going to the same ER one being broke and the other being loaded are going to get a similar level of emergency care. Long term maybe not but you aren't going to get the bronze plan of gunshot care while the guy next to you is enjoying platinum.

Man, I wish that were true! I'd love to sit in one place for 2 years. I can't seem to find a job that will last more than 18 months. Some will, but the pay is stagnant and there are no promotions. You must job hop. As one anecdata point, employers all seem to know that diagonal promotions are the standard now and they don't fault you at all. If they did, well then they gave me a red flag, if anything.
I don't see the problem.

A syllabus -- per dictionary.com, "an outline or other brief statement of the main points of a discourse, the subjects of a course of lectures, the contents of a curriculum, etc." -- is required by a governing authority that presumably has an interest in what citizen/subject (per your local regime) are being taught. This seems legitimate in the general case.

Your syllabus can be "unit-n: overview of current layout technologies for www browsers". Problem solved, no?

Good idea, for now one quick thing you can do is enter this in the search bar:

And that will tell you how many rows there are.
It's odd that the rates of going to the ER are discussed, but not the content or cost of the care during the visits... particularly when the article discusses the speculation that the increased visits might be doctors referring patients to the ER to take care of some specific condition... and you would think that would be lower cost than catastrophic care later.
Now that's hardly a fair comparison. Huge difference between a fledgeling project and a massive ecosystem that is Android.

Dont.

I curse the day ive chosen 13” xps with 3200x1800 hdpi screen. Id trade it for fullhd in a blink.

Three issues:

1. It is goddamn mirror, and mind you im not picky here

2. Hundreds of apps or system parts (regedit? Wtf?) are complettly messed up by hdpi and scaling leaves you either too small or problems. Keybase desktop client (search for my bug) shows what you can expect. Windows 10 can not handle it. Gnome works more/less.

3. You dont need it on 13” screen. FHD is enough.

Oh, and you cant disable touchscreen without serious jujitsu (bios option is ignored by windows)

Simply dont. Take fullhd.
They made a compatibility layer.

You shouldn't access files in WSL using windows, but the other way around it's absolutely ok.

So if my projects are at C:/Development/Projects/...

Then I just open /mnt/c/Development/Projects/... on WSL

I haven't had any permission problems, not even once.

Same for Docker for Windows. It uses Hyper-V + some network disk sharing magic, which makes directory mounts into docker containers work great. So sometimes, like, when I need to debug a non-cross-platform linux program. (WSL doesn't handle process forking well, so some debuggers, like Go Delve don't work) I just do something like

docker run -v C:/Development/Projects/MyProject:/mnt/MyProject -it ubuntu /bin/bash

I’ve given much thought this year on what would actually make me happy long term (never really had a good answer to those “where do you see yourself in 5 years” kind of questions) and what i would really like is to launch a prototype to test the idea (also have something concrete to work with instead of vaporware) and have an office in my hometown (Porto, Portugal; i emigrated to Uk/Netherlands in 2013) and contribute both to local job creation and entrepreneurship (even if cultivating that in the employees) so yeah a local co-founder would have some advantages.

Because the price just went up, may be wise to dollar cost average at this level: ex. buy $XX worth once a week. I think Coinbase has an option to set up automatic weekly buys. Less reward if it spikes next week, less risk if it crashes next week. Removes emotion from trading decisions. Something to consider, be sure to factor in fees.

I think the buy-side support has been surprisingly strong after this recent push, so I think this rally still has a bit of legs, but Bitcoin is always hard to predict.
I'm planning on making the same switch. My main use case for Dropbox was having access to my photos from anywhere, but they have systematically hobbled their photo capabilities beginning with the sunsetting of Carousel to the recent redesign of the web Photos page making it impossible to find old photos.

That's your take? Using bright-colored paint and giving out candy is how you avoid having everyone be jerks to each other? And at every company that doesn't do that, everyone are jerks to each other I suppose?

And kindergarteners are kind and pleasant while mature people are frustrated, abusive and cruel? (From experience I'd say if mature people are frustrated it's from dealing with the tyrannical outsized self-centeredness of the kindergarteners, but I digress.)

Good guys don't always wear white hats, and there's no reliable correlation between Google-style trappings, and a good place to work. I don't have a citation for you, but I've seen great creativity in grey Dilbert cubicles, and I've seen rank despair in brightly-colored factories of the happy-happy.

A shiny thing could be a nugget of true gold, or it could've been placed there to distract you from the fact that you're standing in a bucket of shit. And to contradict and invalidate your true realization that standing in shit makes you feel shitty. And that -- in and of itself, and totally aside from your co-workers' behavior -- is a subtle way of being a jerk to you.

A workplace should be neutral. Let me put the life there, like paint on a canvas.
Copied from a previous response to the same quote:

There are approximately 3x10^28 molecules of water per cubic meter (assuming pure water, which is obviously not the case).

A third of the way to the moon, there are approximately 7x10^6 molecules of hydrogen per cubic meter[0].

From high earth orbit (assume 60k km), it's about 300k km to the moon.

The average depth of the ocean is about 3.5km.

For simplification, let's assume that a molecule of water and a molecule of hydrogen have the same density (which they don't)

From high earth orbit, in a straight line to the moon, there would be about 2x10^12 hydrogen molecules in the way.

From the ocean surface to the average depth, there would be about 1x10^32 water molecules in the way.

Not getting into the optical properties of water vs hydrogen, or the fact that the math is much different for a probe orbiting the moon, there's just more "stuff" between the ocean surface and the ocean floor, and a satellite and the moon.

I don't think anyone really disagrees with you -- most people have problems with the syntax of Perl, C, and C++. Sure, they can get used to it, particularly with C because it's small, but the syntax isn't why they use the language.

Somewhat surprisingly, I think Perl's syntax is one of the reasons that Python became popular. Perl can do pretty much everything Python can, and it came significantly earlier. Yet people gravitated toward Python.

I wouldn't call Python "strongly restrictive", but I would call it "just right". It's terse without being unreadable.

JavaScript syntax is also pretty sane (but there are many horrible parts to the semantics.)

Ruby seems to be pretty nice in the common cases, but there are apparently gremlins lurking in corner cases. Python has only 1 or 2 syntactic gremlins I can think of (trailing comma, etc.)
Good point, but I think that depends on whether your state allows them. I've seen standalone emergency rooms in Texas but not in Pennsylvania and New Jersey. One of my relatives in Houston is an ER doc and works at one of these standalone ER's, when I asked him why these exist (in contrast to urgent facilities) he told me it was purely because they can charge significantly higher ER rates.
1366x768 itches pretty badly
Some numbers:

College:

30 weeks

= 4800 hours

Work:

49 weeks
50 hours per week
2 years
= 4900 hours

And that's being generous at only a 50 hour work week, as well as being generous in giving a full 40 hours worth of college work. I think your comment perfectly demonstrates my point.
Psychedelic drugs could reduce criminal behavior
But the study also found Medicaid enrollees increased their emergency room visits by 40 percent over the first 15 months.

Well, did they go there because they were actually ill? If so, the experiment did in fact improve public health.
Your snarky comment made me wonder how big a gap there is between copying the most advanced tech of the number 1 country, and innovating to actually become the number 1.

Judging by the effort of so many countries to build their own "silicon valley", and the lack of any kind of result, i'd say copying is already a huge feat. I'm also ready to bet that china has done the hardest part and that we shouldn't wait too long until we're the ones trying to copy them.

I do think that the OP's job as a recruiter could have been better if the culture within his team or the recruiting dept was better. Sure, it's a monotonous job, but im guessing if the team was a small startup located in SF external to Google and they could do things their own way instead of answering to and belonging to a huge HR department with immense pressure to get as many candidates in as possible, and grow their own culture, the job wouldn't feel so tedious and pointless.

Sometimes it's hard to feel like you're doing great things and making a difference when what you do is a drop of water in a great sea that is Google, vs the same drop in a smaller bucket of water.
This is more to do with the lack of pediatric endocrinologists in the country.

I'm guessing most are probably women (or close allies) who basically don't want to work with people like Damore.

My kids are half-Chinese. If one of my coworkers said "these half-breed children are polluting our race", I'm pretty sure I'd shy away from working with them. Damore basically implied that Google lowers the bar for female engineers (which it does not), and therefore immediately cast doubt on the quality and merit of his female coworkers.

If I was a woman, I might decide I don't want to work with someone who feels I'm not really supposed to be there.

>The probability of you being killed by a terrorist or a Muslim in the US is tiny compared to your chances of being killed by a native born or white (assuming you're white). The percentages are so small, it makes such an outsized concern obviously racist because from a rational risk assessment point of view, it changes nothing.

It's a tiny risk because it's a small fraction of an already tiny proportion of the population. Increasing that proportion of the population will lead to a higher level of risk. We've already seen what that looks like in Europe, and that all began to accelerate rather quickly in the last few years. It's very rational to not want that to happen here as well.

> We have generally held it is good policy to keep families together. And the times when it was not allowed (e.g. Chinese Exclusion Act) were specifically done for RACIST purposes, not rational ones. Tons of Chinese men were prevented from being reunited with their wives because of that, and still more single ones were prevented from marrying locals by anti-miscegenation laws.

While that makes some amount of sense, it also leads to chain migration and ultimately displaces more of the native population economically AND politically. We can't ignore that the one side that supports increased immigration is the side that will ultimately benefit from having their children as voters.

>These kinds of attitudes are basically the ones that allow you to be manipulated by political parties and have your attention diverted from real issues. Xenophobia works unfortunately, as studies and social experiments from the 60s and 70s show, blaming woes on "the other" is a tried and true tactic. You can take tiny issues related to foreigners or other tribes and blow them up so large they dominate the discussion.

For what it's worth, I had no interest in immigration issues at all until I was bombarded with how evil it was to be against any form of immigration. Voters have the right to an opinion on these issues, and "that's racist" isn't going to stop them anymore.
> This would never be possible if we needed our syllabus accredited.

Good thing you don't need your syllabus accredited to have an approved curriculum (and in fact not even sure there's such a thing?)

Also, accredited institutions make small changes to syllabi (such as the one you mentioned) all the time.

(e: Just noticed your comment down-thread, and now assume you're not in the USA. So edit, prepend "In the USA" to my comment. Relevant at least to the article I guess.)
Perhaps it's less evident especially if you have a multi-head setup with big monitors. But for almost every laptop now that uses display scaling to make screen content readable, screen estate is precious and the extra vertical space does make coding on a small screen much more enjoyable.

The whole space is tiny at the moment. Crypto will turn into a fully fledged asset class, and bubble or not, there will be money to be made. But it's likely there will also be a major correction at some point, if we reach trillions of dollars in market cap.

But hey, the .com bubble went to $6.5tn before correcting, and the entire crypto space is at $200ish bn at the moment. Assuming most of those gains will end up with both Bitcoin and Ethereum (which I do), you could easily see Bitcoin go 15-20x, and Ethereum 20-40x once institutional capital starts buying in (and average folk). It's still hard to buy crypto for most.

And those were US equities.. there is only one Bitcoin, and one Ethereum in the world.
That's really something that surprised me a lot after moving to the US. In my culture, politics is very much like religion, it is unthinkable to talk about it openly in a place of work.
It sounds like they've taken on too many patients or their patients come in very often.
Not a fan of the white text on colored background. I prefer black text on the colored event
Yup. The system is pretty messed-up and from my view (as a user), it drives people towards ERs as there are few other options. Some examples:

1 - Any time a condition/illness causes bad nausea/vomiting, the urgent care will send you to an ER to get IV meds and fluids, which they can't do. You probably don't need a full ER, but that's the only place to go. This must be fairly common during flu season, and a huge waste of resources.
A startup idea could be an Uber for off-hour home visits. If all you need is IV fluids, check some vitals, keep you comfortable to ride-out a nasty virus, surely it's in everyone's interest to have a quick visit by a nurse/PA, possibly MD.

2 - Pain management. If you have a relatively new illness or injury that requires stronger medications to manage the pain, you have no choice but to go to an ER, or perhaps be admitted to a hospital (which is even more expensive). I can't say if over a longer period of time, for a chronic case, there are better options that eventually get worked out. But 2 months into such an issue with a family member, and going to the ER was frustratingly the only option.

3 - Chest pain. Yes, it could be a heart attack, so maybe an ER is the best place to go. You will get triage pretty quickly with an EKG, and some basic vitals, but you're still stuck there for hours if it's a false alarm (I'm guessing quite often). There's got to be a better way.
