If you're doing work on Linux, get a laptop that is supported with Linux on it. The first sign of problems on your Surface, you'll have to nuke it, put Windows on it, see if it's still broken, reproduce the issue on Windows, then take it into a store.

Dell sells Linux certified models, the XPSs even. Maybe it's called the "Developer Edition" or something. You can always go with System 76 or Librem or something along those lines too.
There's a case to be made sure.

But I was replying to the article being very selective. Which is not in the best interest of the movement.

More unbiased (clearly) reports are needed. The data being used in that one was, if not intentional, not a good way to further the cause.

And that should be the intent. Even if it's harder to do so in an unbiased way, that is what is needed.
the two are completely different things. Uber is/was committing an administrative violation. When you violate securities laws, that's actually a crime.
Excel 2016 integrated PowerQuery features and improved upon the data model tools. Going back further, Excel v1 thru v7 was limited to 2^14 rows (16,384); v8 (10yrs after v1) thru v11 upped that to 2^16 rows (65,536); v12 (20yrs after v1) thru current can handle 2^20 rows (1,048,576).

Windows 10 is faster and more secure than any consumer version of Windows ever released; PowerShell (slow to start up and verbose, though it may be) makes CMD.exe look like a kid's toy; Win8.1 added the Win+X menu, a ridiculously useful shortcut for our crowd; and the Windows Reset feature--show me a tech that doesn't love having that baked-in. We also have the (not perfect but still better than nothing) Windows Subsystem for Linux. And we have improved container support on the horizon.

iPhone: SecureEnclave, TouchID, ApplePay, waterproofing; and they continue to try to improve security and privacy.

EDIT: Corrected 2^14 = 16,374; not 65,536 as I had originally written. Credit to unwind for the correction.
While I agree a slow build indicates a problem with their build infra, haskell’s purity and type system do rule out issues with mutable State (presumably there isn’t any in the hot-swapped module) and invalid states (the type system prevents invalid states from being constructed, given the way they have a fixed hot-cold API).

The article describes the hot-swapped module as containing frequently changing business logic, which sounds like it’s something they can probably do via an interface with well-constrained or no mutability.

This article appears to be lacking any link to the source document. Am I suffering from semantic blindness? An introductory article is great but without access to the primary source it's not delivering much real benefit to the readers.

In the meantime, here's the 2016 version of the DoJ's manual on the subject, which is probably highly similar.

You're right, I don't know all the intricacies of their system. That's why I said "I'm surprised" rather than "this is a bad design decision". It doesn't mean I can't point out potential pitfalls that I think the blog post glosses over.

I've known for a couple of years now that tuna are big but I grew up thinking tuna was a small sardine sized fish. It probably was due to the fact I never see whole tuna at fish markets (probably too big to sell the entire fish) and it comes canned.
There's been one simmering ever since the original free trade deal in the 1980s. If it's not softwood lumber it's potatoes or airplanes.
You can still mine GPU-based cryptocurrencies. Two examples are ZCash and Ethereum.

It'd definitely not too late to get into smart contract development on Ethereum. It's what I do for a living, and demand is high.

If you want to just buy some coins, it's pretty easy to set up an account on a solid, regulated exchange. In the U.S., Coinbase, Gemini, and Kraken will let you fund an account directly from your bank.
> They got the new 8th gen i7 into the display half (which they failed to do for the new Surface Pro which seems like an odd omission).

8th gen intel processors were not out when the new Surface Pro released. And they had to release it because it was long overdue since SP4.

The 15" version of the surface book 2 would be a win there but at 4.2lbs my shoulder will complain. (I briefly had the 4+ pound Sony VAIO and it was painful enough that I just never took it on trips as powerful as it was.)

I disagree. They haven't publicly touted the feature for years but there are millions of files that are now dead and no longer accessible because they couldn't be arsed to keep minimal infrastructure in place to support it.

Because in TOML you just specify additional keys after the first one, leading to redundancy and representing a structure that's actually nested as flat.

In TOML you can indent but it's not required:

[[fruit]]
name = "apple"

[[fruit.physical]]
color = "red"
shape = "round"

In HCL it's all just one (properly nested) object and you can `fmt` it:

fruit {
name = "apple"
physical {
color = "red"
shape = "round"
}
}

It seems arbitrary but really matters once you're nesting a few levels deep, which tends to happen in anything complex such as an orchestration system.
If they were to plan this over a longer period of time for all distributions CE is available for I wouldn't have said anything. However they are specifically leaving out the platform most people are using docker on. And not only that - they _are_ providing k8s support with EE on linux. That pretty much deliberately points towards 'buy docker ee if you want this specific feature'.

Tbh, I wouldn't even have said anything if they were making that an EE-only feature. Thing is - they want to make money with that move and they're not honest about it. And in the process they're throwing the larger demograph using docker on the bleeding edge side of things in the mud. The people who are trying the new features on their own servers in their own time.

> There has been plenty of hue and cry in the past about the rapid rate of change of Docker

Yes, well - that is what happens when a company decides to use bleeding-edge hipster software. With puppet one minor version may not work with the server whos a few minors behind, with ELK in pre-5 versions the cluster may have gone keel over if the migration of the version hadn't been planned meticularly, with consul you may get better performance (dc-local speaking) than with etcd on one release and way worse the next.

Crying to the devs not to produce good software so quickly shouldn't be the solution.

I agree, I think that ER's work more or less like that now (not necessarily the rest of the hospital), I'm concerned for the future this not always being the case.

I think as the governments become more starved (not made more efficient by reducing costs, starved by simply cutting funding without optimizing it logically) that important government services will have to replaced with tiered private companies. As regulations are removed, the same thing occurs.

What if a speed of ambulance was built into your insurance? How do you know what response time is right for you and your family (as it will be framed)?
I work in business development in the public sector. First we did digitzation, turning paper archives into something digital. Then we started standardizing and connecting the archives while improving worker interaction with them. These days we're doing automation.

None of this has led to people getting fired. It has cost a massive amount of jobs though. All unnoticed because we simply didn't rehire for positions when someone retired because the digitization hadn't eaten whole workflows but only 5 minutes here and there.

The next thing we're going to do is AI. We've already begun the proofs of concepts. We've gone through 6 million case files with 5-70 page documents, and sorted them in a particular way. A process which too 25 full time jobs half a year to do. Our proof of concept AI and 1000 servers in azure, did the same thing in 5 hours.

Computers didn't really change the office landscape like robots did to the assembly lines. AI will.

At one point in our history, one of the most important jobs in a large city, was removing the endless tones of horse shit from the streets every day. Cars made those guys as obsolete as AI will do almost everything.

Sure there will be new jobs as well, but technology stopped creating more jobs than it ate almost 10 years ago, and it's an exponential curve.
Yes absolutely, and they're great. But if your understanding of RSS is clicking on an RSS button and getting junk code on your screen, that's the end of the line for most people.

I don't agree at all.

On a small project that utilizes a single DSL or a single library, sure, the difference is negligible.

On a large project with many DSLs and/or libraries (ie Rails) it's not easy to tell if a given thing is part of Ruby or part of the many-headed beast that is Rails. (or which of those heads provided it...)

Bought some stuff from EBay back then, the tracking status never works, not even once. Until it was delivered after 2 weeks, I had no idea where my order went. Never used it afterwards.
I didn't bother with as extensive a test back when I doodled this, but it's much better: http://i.imgur.com/kdgwbR7.png

You can see some slight vertical jogs, but nothing to the degree of what the Surface has. I've never noticed it in actual use on the iPad. On my SP3 I definitely did.

I don't actually know how the technology in Apple's Pencil works compared to Wacom and ntrig, but my assumption is that it's more similar to ntrig with having the detection hardware up front in the display/glass assembly instead of behind it. It uses an active stylus w/ battery (similar to ntrig), while Wacom's stylus is a passive batteryless device.

In terms of accuracy, iPad and Wacom seemed similar to me. Never used a Cintiq (just the screenless pads) so I can't make a fair comparison. I've heard that the Cintiq has more visible lag with your stroke catching up to the pen, but that's much harder to notice when you're drawing on your desk while watching a separate screen.

The iPad is my favorite, hands down. It feels very natural to use.

Does anyone seriously listen to that kind of talk? It's a job - in this case helping to sell advertising - why try to pretend it's some kind of religious calling? Why do so many companies insist on spewing that claptrap?

No. The biggest case in point is just Google Groups. It feels like they just let the interns go "fuck my shit up" over there.
"Buys" is a strong word for "gets for free". From the article:

Bombardier Inc. announced Monday it has sold a majority stake in its CSeries passenger jet business to European aerospace giant Airbus for no cost.
I did contradict myself there. What I was trying to say is that a highest customer satisfaction rating probably would have been better than all the information they gave. But barring that, random Amazon reviews which were free, provided me information more aligned with my experience.

What they talk about is how the dishwasher did, when put through their special "testing program". So apparently this top of the line dishwasher will perform a great number of cycles before breaking. Consumer Reports isn't wrong. The engine is great. They also measured the decibels, so they could say this is "the most quiet" dishwasher.

The information I could have received from Amazon reviews, was that it is hard to adjust the upper rack, meaning you can't easily wash a baking pan. And even on the most extreme drying setting you will still need to dry your dishes by hand.

I've suffered with backpain for almost a decade, a new foam mattress (Ikea) replacing a spring mattress seems to have helped a lot. It's a supportive foam with a memory foam top; firmer than the sprung mattress.

The only downside is, err, it doesn't bounce when you want to bounce, if y' catch my drift.

It feels quite different, definitely warmer (not a problem in UK), took a few days to get used to.
Ask HN: What can I do to make things better?
I've been working in a startup for almost 2 years, and I yet don't know where it's headed.

- I don't trust my teammates. Some tell lies. Some don't wanna work. Some pretend to work. In the end, I always end up with too much outstanding work.

- We don't get paid timely. Some use this as an excuse to not work. I get to do more work.

- We are somewhat a remote team. The concerned person that is managing us isn't always available. Another excuse for not working (waiting for approval).

- We are managing 2 projects. One serving existing customers. One that looks like a Moonshot to some. Let's call this Moonshot.

- To me it seems like no one else is even remotely interested in moonshot except me & the manager. Maybe we are not good at explaining, so interest died. We have worked on it for almost 6 months, yet no where near where we should have been.

- Not to mention, always bitching mode.

I'm extremely interested in working on the moonshot, but these are individual people. And I seriously need a TEAM.

Our previous product has started gaining traction, and I need to be there as well to make sure it scales.

Finally, we are just 3 people. IMO adding people might only worsen the problem, if they get infected by the same thinking as my co-workers. I'll end up with even more work.

I don't see it getting better. What can I do to make things better?
HTTPretty now supports asyncio
Trouble is, there's a bunch of people out there who have no aptitude for those things, and have neither the desire nor the means to acquire that aptitude, and/or don't have the means to sell this aptitude for enough money for bare necessities.

It's possible that Bombardier Rail may be absorbed by a merged Siemens/Alstom - the dust hasn't settled yet.
In the old versions of Pascal a function/porcedure only accepted an array of a fixed size (in fact you had to declare a type specifically for that size). for example if you had an array of 10 and an array of 100 you needed to write two functions to deal with it.

I was taught turbo Pascal in highschool and it was so bad that even C felt less annoying.
As other people have mentioned, this is only strange because of our bizarre popular notions of crime and punishment in America.

First of all, we love partitioning people into good and evil sets. If we can only root out and imprison the evil people (and, btw, give all the good guys guns), there would be negligible crime.

Secondly, we believe punishment fulfills justice. Despite well documented issues in applying the death penalty equitably, or even solely to guilty people, we maintain that heinous crimes must be met with human sacrifice.

And to be honest, I think human sacrifice is literally what we believe in. When something goes wrong, we require someone to feel pain. The more permanent that pain, the better. This goes beyond crime. Look how sports players are immortalized for their blunders. Look at the mob justice of the Internet. Look at how we crack down on the vulnerable when the middle class struggles.
I asked a sushi chef about using local Pacific mackerel since I liked his saba. He said that his mackerel came from Norway and that he wouldn't use Pacific mackerel because of mercury levels.

I've eaten a ton of saba. He made great saba. But I can't eat it in most sushi restaurants because it isn't fresh. Now this article talks about the fish being fresh and that is one thing. Another is for something like saba which takes about 24 hours of preparation. Salting + marinating, there is differentiation in these. But when it's done, it's meant to be eaten. And if a restaurant doesn't get enough orders, it get put back in the fridge.

And that tastes like old stale fish. I suppose I should ask when they make it and come by that day.

BTW, my sushi chef closed his restaurant on University Ave and now caters mostly to startups. My ex-gf was also a chef and she told me that it's hard to make a living running a restaurant. It's much easier in catering since you know exactly how much to prepare on a day.

In many places the 'best sushi' is not even legal. For example, EU regulations state that fish to be consumed raw must have been deep frozen (-20 C or lower) for at least 24 hours prior to consumption, to kill any potential parasites.

This also means you can never eat 'fresh sushi'.

Oh man, this was the same problem I ran into with my product years ago. Everyone wanted to shoehorn it into a website creator. Showcase (as was my product) is a form of "digital document."

I'm unsure how you would expect humans to do better with cultural concerns or strategy in the face of uncertainty. We're known for routinely making mistakes in both of these domains - just look at POTUS for a case study.

Computers can already infer sentiment, not to mention recognize patterns extremely well, and are likely trainable to provide example feedback to any given cultural current. Is culture really any more diffuse than something like conversation, which computers already do reasonably well?

Furthermore, it seems odd to suggest that computers would have trouble in numbers games like war/trade war/resource allocation. These are essentially reducible to games, and with Go out the way, it doesn't seem that figuring out the best tariffs to pass or best places to bomb would require much more logic.

Maybe I'm being naive, but I think your conceptions of the limitations of machines are founded on essentially nothing. There's little, philosophically or scientifically, in the way of physicalist/functionalist conceptions of the mind that supports your viewpoints!

There's little reason to doubt, in my eyes, that our brains are extremely complex machines, running on electrical impulses and neurotransmitters, to produce responses to stimuli. As such, I don't see why you would privilege our machines over another machine. Why is our learning experience different from that of a machine? Do we not learn from trial-and-error, from explicit (social) rule-programming, from inference? Is evolution really at odds with computers? Some ML algorithms already boast "evolutionary" traits. And are our 5 senses really so sharp? What about beings who "see" all EM radiation or feel rumblings deep in the earth, like a seismograph does?
One wonders how much of this is still going on - both the disinformation campaign, and the paying US activists. In fact, it could explain a fair amount about why things have been so weird lately...

You could turn off those things and you dont need the default Google launcher to get notification(from Google app or whatever). I am here looking at a calendar reminder on my phone and I dont use the Google launcher.

To turn of those location questions open Google Maps->Settings->Notification->Your contributions. Toggle what you want and dont want to be notified about.

People seem to complain about this and not realise for some reason that it could be turned off without having to resort to something as crude as blocking the notification.
