As a fellow current Mac user, I can understand why people, especially techies, are frustrated. Apple is well funded with high standards, making them a fashionable, luxury company that focuses on tech. They have a high price point for their products from which people expect high quality. More importantly, they control both the hardware and software stack. Unlike MS which has to cater to an infinite number of different hardware combinations from different vendors, Apple development teams just deal with a much smaller set of hardware products and components which theoretically should result in a more secure and stable product.

As other HN users have pointed out, there are hints as to why this is happening: https://www.theverge.com/2016/12/21/14037686/apple-macbook-m...

Apple is hollowing out the OSX/Mac OS team in favor of iOS.

While they did limit High Sierra's scope, maybe they needed to push back the release date as well given that they gutted the Mac OS team?

Regardless, the natives are getting restless.
For too long Big Tech has skirted regulations and is siphoning an outsized amount of profit from the economy without contributing back (Apple, Amazon), damaging the social fabric without care (Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat, Twitter), or consuming and aggregating vast amounts of personal data for profit (Google, Facebook).

Did anyone in tech not think the reckoning would come? “Are we the baddies?” It’s like working for Marlboro with hoodies and catered lunches.
You're going to double down on completely misreading the article and misquoting as to why their Password Manager is insecure? Come on...
Before the benchmark I did some test with FreeBSD+ZFS with LZ4 on/off. The LZ4 CPU overhead was pretty negligible and performance was slightly better than without compression, due to lower IO usage. That's the reason I've chosen LZ4 for the actual benchmark.
> menu items started at 30 and went up to approx 110 euros

Is it another restaurant than this one http://www.jeromebrochot.com/media/original/575147df7d79e/ca... ?

Prices are rather reasonnable here, on the expensive side but I would consider eating there. While a menu where items go from 30 to 110 euros is completely out of the question for anyone I know.
If you are still having the issue, why not comment to reopen it?

The "icebox" was automatic after a period of inactivity, if you are still having the problem, they give pretty explicit instructions on how to respond.

Also, that doesn't sound like a Babel issue, as I've compiled JS files that were several MB before without taking an unreasonable amount of time.

The free market is better at figuring out fairness than a central government. Supply and demand, by its nature, determines what is fair to be paid. If it wasn't fair, people wouldn't work the job. If it was more than fair, then more people would enter the job pool, which will cause an equilibrium market rate to be obtained.

Unfortunately, the central government gets itself into market regulation constantly and distorts the free market.

Poverty doesn't force people into single motherhood.
I also just remembered that I wrote this blog post a while back on what self-publishing taught me about shipping products. It also shares a few vignettes and lessons from my self-publishing experience.

Interesting, succinct read. One thing I liked about it is that it didn't mention the old bugaboo of radiation exposure. Obviously regalith on the living structure is going to help minimize that, but the real answer is that the first mars explorers are willingly going to accept moderately higher lifetime cancer risks.
And now you have false allegations mounted against Kratom for the purpose of banning it. People were using Kratom to get themself off the heavy drugs with minimal side-effects. But we can't let all that money go to waste, instead they want only publicly available addiction remedy to go to expensive treatments and expensive drugs.
Ask HN: Side Project Collaborators?
How do you find other developers to collaborate with on side projects and/or potential startups?

How do you find people who share your interests and develop in the same languages?
I think often lost from the whole introversion vs extroversion debate is that:

1. It's not a binary. It's a bell curve where many people fit near the middle and some are extreme outliers in either direction.

I know personally that I am an introvert, but I confuse a lot of proclaimed extroverts who mistake me for being extroverted because I have a fairly gregarious and willing to try anything once personality.

2. Introvert / extrovert really has nothing to do with communication skills except that introverts appear to be bad at verbal communication usually because that skill isn't as practiced as extroverts. But good verbal communication is totally a developable skill rather than something innate to a person.
People complain about DRM, and work to destroy any digital industry that works without DRM.
Hmm, sorry it feels that way! I don't use react-native and don't think anyone on the team was informed of that issue - but is it really an issue from Babel itself?

I guess in that case I would suggest not transforming files like ".json" which if it's a wrapper around Babel could do for you automatically? It's not intended to transform JSON since it would just have the same output, not sure how it's related to compiling JS specifically.
Does this violate copyright? It appears to be a clear derivative work. I ask because this is something I'd love to see more of, but I'd be afraid of doing myself because I don't want to get a C&D.
I am 31, moved into a new team 1.5 years ago.

I am married 7 years, no kids... and have carried a hefty mortgage for 8 years.

My other team mates are 38-55.
Have kids, some even grandkids.

While I can relate to alot of things, I can't stand their constant discussions about their kids and other family stuff... I just can't relate.(edit: not that I can't relate really, I just can't stand their constant distractions with home life... We all have issues, you might need a place to vent but work shouldn't be it. Go talk to a colleague in a discreet area not openly in professional work settings)

It really disrupts me that I either have to super zone out (which I am good at) or leave my desk constantly.

We have a open seating area with low wall shared cubicles... Which makes it worse.

While I have family issues, I don't discuss them openly at work with everyone.

I am friendly, but don't open up... If you talk to me, I will talk back and seem interested, but it's really in one ear and out the other.

When it comes up to recommend or commend a colleague, it's not the work that comes into focus... You remember all these tidbits, and factor in determining that recommendation.

Person works hard but may be unreliable because of X happening.
Person is only here to talk about Y, rather than working hard.
Person only comes to work, to get away from Z.

I am the guy that goes to work, to work, so he can move on with his day after work as soon as possible.

Others come for an escape from their home lives and share about it all day.

I have colleagues in other departments that feel the same way that are older, but just don't discuss family in detail at work.

In office politics, sharing can help at times being more friendly with management... But I make up for it in hard effort, top numbers.. and when it comes to review time its my work that shines.

One colleague shared alot about his personal life, and only lost out on a job cause the hiring manager felt the guy had too many personal issues. (Manager told me in confidence).

He is a hard worker, but has a stigma of being a weirdo for sharing so much of his family life.
TI definitely did not have a monopoly on ICs for those 25 years. Those first patents were on Kilby's process which was essentially abandoned. Fairchild and Intel did a tremendous amount of work getting ICs to be more useful over that timespan (see self-aligned gates).
This thread is full of people who unknowingly played russian roulette, didn't die, and are passing the gun to the next player saying "You shouldn't listen to any of these people complaining about the problem. See, I didn't die."
etiquette (n):
conventional requirements as to social behavior;
proprieties of conduct as established in any
class or community or for any occasion.

From the article, "The accepted notion is that such territory belongs to the person seated in front." Applying this convention/expectation along with our definition, etiquette indicates that the leaner may continue to lean back.

If anything, etiquette dictates that the person seated behind accommodate the leaner peacefully. And that the person behind him do the same.

I personally have always found it possible to use my tray, regardless of the recline of the individual in front of me. Sure, there's less space, but trays and seat-backs are very precisely designed to be functional in cramped simultaneous usage.

The difference in our opinions, I propose, is not whether etiquette matters. It's whether the impolite person is the one with the knees in the seatback, or the one leaning all the way back!
People benchmark CentOS too much. A far more interesting test would be Oracle Linux, both with and without the UEK.

I would bet this would wipe out the SUSE advantage:

# cat /proc/version

Linux version 4.1.12-112.14.1.el7uek.x86_64 (mockbuild@) (gcc version 4.8.5 20150623 (Red Hat 4.8.5-11) (GCC) ) #2 SMP Fri Dec 8 18:37:23 PST 2017

The "RedHat-compatible kernel" should have identical performance to CentOS.

# rpm -qa | grep ^kernel | sort

kernel-3.10.0-693.11.1.el7.x86_64

...

kernel-uek-4.1.12-112.14.1.el7uek.x86_64

...

I realize that many people don't like Oracle Linux due to their unauthorized appropriation and support of their RedHat clone. It does bring new functionality to the table, however (primarily Ksplice) and has great support for the eponymous database.

When RedHat 9 support ended, it never touched my personal systems again. Even my CentOS habit has quelled.
That makes it sound like your questions were so basic, they indicated you weren't familiar with the technology you were asking about at all.
Seems like it's oscillating, maybe there's one misconfigured node somewhere which is being swapped in by Varnish?
I'd be interested in an overview (book form) for non-historians. I get the impression that cities were more important than countries in some ways.
So you're okay with the fact that they are kinda-sorta exploiting you (by not including you as a co-patent holder) but have reservations on employees utilizing company resources to further their career?

That seems like a really raw deal to me. You might argue that you are "paid" to do this; not really, you can just coast on 9-5 and draw the same (or in the same ballpark) paycheck as someone who is busting his behind to invent something. Also when there is downsizing you might think that contributions is the only thing that matters, but it is demonstrably not (I'm speaking about regular companies not a small startup).
A creative assistant slash agent that pours over my uploaded data (pics, video, fiction, field recorded sounds, journal entries) and tries to find a market for them, comes to me with proposals, then submits them for sale and negotiates a good price. You know, like that scene in 'Her'.
I don't believe there is strong evidence that a metaculture (really, multiculturalism) will survive and not devolve into squabbling ethnoses, particularly on the scale of the north american continent.

It seems like smaller, more homogonous political units is the best way to avoid conflict, and I don't see why that has to be malicious. My main problem with most of the ethno-nationalists that I read is that they are really racialists or pan-europeanists, which strikes me as almost (almost) as useless for generating inter-class solidarity as appealing to universal humanism.
I want a widget library that allows me to draw translucent shapes on top of functioning widgets, without trying to align to widget boundaries. Ideally this library would also be able to draw shapes between toplevel windows as well. It would need to be cross-platform and have bindings to common scripting languages.
A closed question that has a negative score will eventually get deleted. They call it the Roomba.
> It’s... fine? ... the only complaint I really have about High Sierra is that it doesn’t really change anything.

I'm running 10.13.2 on a 2014 MBP, and can say the same -- as praise, not complaint. I want my desktop OS not to break stuff more than I want it to add new features, and 10.13 mostly succeeds in not annoying me by breaking stuff.
I don't think there are any PDF 2.0 files "out in the wild" yet.

In any case the article is about a 40 bit RC4 key. PDF has supported much much stronger encryption schemes for a very very long time.

In my experience you need to upgrade/recompile brew apps on every major upgrade (at least I have had to do it for last four or five).

I suppose you may have been able to avoid it if your installed apps happened not to link to any system libraries?

If they do though, and the system libraries change, how can the brewed apps possibly be unaffected?
Does anyone really think that Uber has enough runway, or could ever get enough, to last until the necessary level of automation is developed? SoftBank though, between this and their incredibly favorable, conditional loan to Theranos really has an eye for distressed assets!

If someone does have a vision for a successful Uber, I’d love to hear it, not to try and pick it apart, just to understand what’s happening.
People play the game and the rules are capitalism, sort of. You can and should blame both.
Asus Zenbook works well for me. I'm running Kubuntu.
The Ruby interpreter compiles to bytecode, which is then passed to the VM, which isn’t that far off from classical Java. JRuby also seems to support ahead-of-time compilation.

In any case, the fact that a single Ruby source file can be incrementally loaded into the runtime despite altering classes and modules defined elsewhere supports, rather than detracts, from the author’s notion of a “compilation unit”. Python, in contrast, tightly couples code files (“compilation units”) with modules.
> Almost all middle class families can afford a $130 meal once or twice a year.

It might be different in other countries I guess, but I live in France and Belgium, and nobody I know around here (family, friends, spanning from lower to upper middle class) would even consider eating at a restaurant with that kind of prices.

Nobody I know owns Harley motorcycles either, anyway, but it doesn't seem very relevant.
Why the UK has several Unions the represent highly technical managerial and professionals and its the employers job to manage the competence or not.

Unions don't really want to get involved with being the accrediting body to many conflicts of interests.

Your right though that untrained people should not really be doing interviews let alone designing them.
Still a heck of a return for early investors:

> Seed investors in Uber who sell to SoftBank will make a ~3600x return. $1.6 million round in 2010 would now be worth $5.7 billion at offer price.

When will people stop with that Henry Ford myth? You don't have to pay employees a high wage so they can afford to buy things that are produced.

You hear it when automation is mentioned: "Businesses are constantly automating production, so who is going to buy the output?". The answer is that other robot owners can buy it or the producer himself can consume it. The type of goods produced changes. Instead of cheap cars or pillows, you have more yachts, boats and other luxury items.
I think it's pretty fair to test each OS with its filesystem of choice. I'm aware that you can use ZFS on Linux, but I'm not (yet) brave enough to recommend ZFS+Linux. And yes there's btrfs but would you trust it with your data ? :)
I don't have kids (although I might be insane), but apparently there's a thing called a "baby-sitter" you can deploy in situations like this and for considerably less than $130 per child.
Milo Yiannopoulos’s brutal takedown by his own editor, via court filings
That's very naive though. Eventually there will be someone around who is politically motivated or otherwise adversarial, and then your safe space is gone and everyone who exposed themselves remains exposed. No matter how much we want the new-agey stuff to work, it just doesn't because it requires everyone to play by its rules, which doesn't happen in reality.
Notice nearly all of these end with "which might offend someone."

Is that really how we draw the line? Someone, anyone just has to be offended?

I think we really need to reevaluate sexual harassment law and culture.
"You pay taxes when you bequeath it to your children."

That is the estate tax. If don't have estate tax, then capital gains are never taxed.

Currently, the tax basis for capital gains is stepped up to current value when inherited. It would be reasonable to not require capital to be sold to pay estate tax. That could be accomplished by not resetting the basis on inheritance.
$520 for a group of 4 at a high-end restaurant isn't insane. It's actually fairly reasonable, especially if you throw a bottle of wine or two into the mix.

For upper-middle class people that value high-end dining experiences, $130/person for a meal a few times a year isn't particularly unusual (in the USA, at least). Such people are easy to find if you join a local foodie/dining interest group.
IIRC, by default the "agile" encryption scheme in office defaults to producing a key from a password with 100,000 rounds of SHA-512, with each iteration salted with an incrementing integer to prevent loops. It takes about 800ms to compute one key on a newish machine.
Drug and free market seems like a nasty bet IMO; too much money, too much immaturity and decrease of rationality. My bet is that most 80% of the time it will degenerate into gangs and cartels.
Makes sense (lots of it). Thanks.
>>> I know everyone called it after Jobs stepped out of the leadership chair, but is that really what's responsible for the decline? Can an apple insider comment here?

It's simple. There is noone to whip developers when they ship major bugs. Quality goes down.

Tyrannic leadership has its pros and cons. Try to imagine the internal tantrum after the company shipped an update and it crashed steve's iphone.
That first definition is actually not the definition in political science circles; there, it refers to the view of society as a collection of associations ("bodies", corpora), which form the metaphorical organs of the "body" that is society. This is a term created by advocates to promote it, and so does not denote necessarily a system that undermines the public interest; the first definition I see of it is the Catholic Church's one in the late 19th century as a "system of social organization that has at its base the grouping of men according to the community of their natural interests and social functions, and as true and proper organs of the state they direct and coordinate labor and capital in matters of common interest".

If this sounds kind of creepy and dictatorial to you, you've got a good head on your shoulders.

This semantic distinction is important because a lot of modern leftist rhetoric about fascism is based on a misinterpretation of the term as used in current academic literature and in Fascist ideology of the 1920s and 30s. A defining feature of fascism is corporatism, but this does not mean the unbridled power of big business corporations and certainly is not a good description of current American society. Rather, it refers to the way that undemocratic systems co-opt the organized associations that represent interest groups ("civil society" in current political science literature). See for example the way that the Chinese Communist party traditionally ran the only trade unions, women's rights organizations, etc. in the country; or the way that the Hitler Youth and the League of German Girls replaced the Scouts and Wandervögel in Nazi Germany; or the way the Italian Fascist regime ran the economy through a council of hand-picked, compliant representatives of employers and workers. In essence, civil society is transformed from a way for groups to band together and advance their interests, into a transmission belt for the state to control those groups.

For more on this topic, including non-Fascist uses of the term, see https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corporatism
I too am interested in this.

Not sure what your platform choice is, linux or windows, but this post is all with a linux bias.

I have a 15" macbook pro from late 2013. I do not upgrade computers very often and expect them to last a long time.

Laptops are especially hard because I am also a linux user who has never operated a linux laptop. The departure from Mac leaves me with Windows which I will not ever operate.

I've looked into this before am currently considering these

Thought about getting a super light weight low spec cheap laptop like a thinkpad x220 or even a dell. Most the time my laptops are used as clients, so I do not need too much. Running a web browser is the most intensive need these days.

System76 - Gazelle or better. These look nice and are linux compatible.

Also, an article I saved to read later and still havn't found time https://www.theverge.com/circuitbreaker/2016/11/2/13497094/b...
I share your beliefs, the English empires in France, or Norman, Gascon and Aquitanian empires in Britain, are another example where the borders of today do not reflect the borders of history. I am less well read than you and would like to ask you to post some links if you have some.
Is a 30% haircut really enough to make the investment worthwhile if Uber doesn't make it?
A few observations:

Softbank has stakes in Didi, Didi has stakes in Uber, Uber has stakes in Didi, with this Softbank got stakes in Uber.

Uber is mostly successful in North America and Southern Americas. Didi is obviously successful in China and will expand to Southern Americas soon.

Europe is not an important market for these companies. Too much regulations and good public transportation won't allow them to thrive.

Softbank probably wants Uber to be limited to North America and have its companies like 99 and Ola compete with Uber in their markets.

If Uber is limited to US and Canada and a few small markets here and there, then it makes sense to see its valuation go down like this.

Softbank is competing with Uber in a global scale using a network of companies it invested in, including Uber!
>Project Oxygen shocked everyone by concluding that, among the eight most important qualities of Google’s top employees, STEM expertise comes in dead last.

This result seems a bit unsurprising. People who work at Google would already be in the top n-th percent in terms of STEM expertise. If everyone you hire is 'above average' then being a bit better than that has marginal gains and other factors would lead to your success.
I'd be curious to see how this plays out at smaller firms where they cannot afford to hire the top-end STEM expertise.
It was pretty clearly stated in the article that this is for security reasons.
Why is this comment getting downvoted? A person says they don't discuss family matters at work -- is that actually something that should be downvoted?
Can we define human-level intelligence, which is the stated end goal of AI, as the ability to find more or less approximate solutions to NP-hard problems, as well as undecidable problems (we solve the halting problem every day as part of our job) in polynomial time?
Getting Things Done (GTD) is probably the most popular personal agile-like process. I highly recommend reading the first book. It was a real eye opener for me, but beware: it is easy for people to get too focused on optimizing their "perfect" GTD system and tools. Just keep it simple. :)
