This works the other way around you know.

I knew some programmers who worked for a EU company that had a military contract.

When they traveled to US (talking around 2005 here), their entire harddisk was encrypted and they got a short education on how to handle certain suspicious situations.

US is known to use intelligence data any way they want, including economical gain. So if your laptop contains any confidential data of any big European company, it's already a good idea to not make that data available.

The whole Edward Snowden debate was only an issue because US was collecting data of their own citizens. Let's be honest, nobody cared who they were spying on abroad.

It's really sad to see how "friendly" nations treat each other like that.

So to answer your initial comment: The one who has the confidential information is not the spy. The spy is the one who wants to get access to it.

"expenditures by international visitors in the United States totaled $244.7 billion in 2016"

https://www.selectusa.gov/travel-tourism-and-hospitality-ind...

About 1.3% of US GDP - which is maybe not significant to the US economy as a whole but I suspect that spending is very localized in locations that probably would suffer if foreign tourists reduced in numbers.
It's too early to say, it's not known _yet_. Are you waiting for a first case to fix your bugs?
It's mentioned in the article. "And the Portuguese traded not through Fujian but Macao, where chá is used."
Right, this was probably because it was already called "cha" in India by then, and the Portugese didn't have direct contact with the people speaking Min Nan Chinese, but rather the Indians who used the Sinitic version of the name.

I'm pretty right wing and have opinions about minimum wage that a lot of other hn users would disagree with, but this article is garbage. Basically one store owner said that he can't afford to offer the new promotion because of the minimum wage and other social spendings. That is all the facts we are given. Of course another reason could be because people don't want that product, or that the store owner isn't running the store as efficiently as other nearby stores are. The article then criticises the new sugar tax because the cost of soda is higher. Of course the price of soda is higher, that is the intention.

That really made a huge difference (the Acer used to give me backaches, as it also had a much larger power brick) but all the laptops since didn't really bother me in terms of weight.

I cycle to work every day. I found switching from a MacBook 12" (2015) to a MacBook Pro (2016) a huge downgrade in this respect (the 12" is 0.45 kg lighter).

If Apple releases a MacBook 12" with at least two USB-C ports and good 4k@60Hz support, I will probably switch back to the MacBook 12" on the next upgrade.
Either I'm too old or I don't get how to use Emojis. I only use them to add tone or express my feelings or attitude so I use maybe five to ten most common emoticons. Eggplant, ice cream or almost any kind of other "factual" icons are completely useless to me. I would rather have more readable and expressive emoticons than hundreds of useless figurines. It would be nice to see if people indeed use them.

My favorite emoticons are Koloboks [1][2]. They are very expressive and adorable. There were also static versions of the emoticons and they were almost equally as expressive.

WhatsApp seems to be an interesting case with regard to Emoji history anyway. Am I right that they appear to have copied Apple's emoji library at some time in the past and reused those on all platforms (except iPhone, of course) instead of the native emoji symbols that those platforms also started to provide? Are they still doing that today?

I remember talking to confused Android users many years ago, when all this Emoji and WhatsApp craze started (I'm from Germany, where there are a lot of Android users and WhatsApp is king among messaging services due to its multiplatform capability, while iMessage isn't used nearly as much due to its inherent limitation to iOS) and people saw me using Emojis in other apps on iOS that were not WhatsApp. They were like "hey, how did you get those cute WhatsApp icons out of WhatsApp and into that other app?". It got pretty clear that many Android users associated the Emojis directly with WhatsApp instead of recognizing them as a feature provided by the operating system, and that seems to have been caused mostly by WhatsApp copying the iOS Emoji library early on, when Android did not yet have Emojis or had different-looking ones.

Don't assume the worst in people. There are plenty of potential clients who don't care about gender or class when looking for a freelance writer. About those who do? Frankly, screw them. They're not worth your attention.

Visually both your website and your Twitter profile look a bit bland and dreary. You might try to develop a consistent identity, a personal brand if you will. A consistent colour scheme would definitely help in my opinion. Nothing too glaring, just 2-3 bright and warm colours. There are online colour palette generators like http://colormind.io/ or https://coolors.co/ that can help you with that.

In terms of content I'd focus more on the value you provide to your clients rather than very personal matters (such as the last paragraph on your home page). It's good to have a personal, relatable story but it has to connect to what it is you're offering.

Regularly publishing blog articles definitely helps. I wouldn't try to directly monetise those though. Instead use them to attract new clients by providing morsels of information they might find useful.

Perhaps finding a different, narrower (and more lucrative) niche would be beneficial, too.

It comes from "herba thea" (herbal tea) so you could argue that it should still be classified under "tea" origin.
A friend of mine holds on to an even older MBP. Due to Apple's generous replacement policy, he's recently got all parts save for the chassis replaced for free or for relatively little money, so sits in front of a brand-new 2012 MBP.

But surely it would be appreciated if Apple could get over their design fixation. For me, there's nothing "Pro" with the MBP. "Pro" doesn't mean "bad-ass", but having (display, keyboard) options for me, a characteristic the MBP lost years ago when the current MBP line was introduced, with the design/aesthetics of the unibody chassis only working with a glare screen. The Touch Bar thingy, and it's mandatory-ness on higher end MBPs is as non-Pro as it gets. It can't be in Apple's interest that real pro users long for the days of old MacBooks/PowerBooks/Snow Leopard, can it?

The 16gb limitation is something the MBPs suffer from as well, and is dictated by Intel chipsets, isn't it?

You just need to not give a fuck. It works for online interaction and it sure work for other parts of life. Care about what you can influence, don't about things you have no control over.

Someone cut in front of you in traffic: good for them. Someone insults you: heh, must be their own insecurities showing.

I think the only threshold for online interaction would be people threatening violence against you. If they do, file a police report then don't sweat it anymore.

Learn to not care about things and you'll endure a lot less stress. Then your life will feel a lot better.

Much more so than the bugs themselves it seriously undermines my confidence in Intel that in this time of emergency, they can't bring themselves to address customers with straight talk.

Clear information should take precedence over mitigating liability. Yet it's fallen to others to explain defects in their products, and people are even mostly left guessing what their attempts to fix things actually do.

I completely agree. The post-2015 Macbook Pros are a disaster.

- The touchbar is a useless gimmick that is outright harmful to developers like me that use the function keys a lot. I hate that there isn't a 15" Macbook without a touchbar.

- The keyboard typing experience is poor and the key mechanism is extremely fragile, making it super expensive to own and repair

- Missing useful ports. I like USB-C, but I also like to be able to stick in a SD card or a USB flash drive without having to buy a dongle. Which, for a Pro machine that costs as much as this one, I definitely should be able to do.

- Only 16GB RAM. Ok, I get it, this is Intel's fault due to LPDDR. But is it Intel's fault that you keep making this PRO machine thinner and the battery smaller?

- I'd love to see an OLED display on the Macbook, but I understand that may not be feasible in the mid-term. So that one is not actually a big issue.

For the rest, that's entirely Apple's poor design. Until that gets fixed, I'm sticking with my 2012 MBP. And when that breaks, I'll buy a ThinkPad.

When I said "pragmas are always a bad idea" I was talking about pragmas as they are implemented in current languages like e.g. Ada. In most languages pragmas are added to the language without being integrated into it. For example, in Ada you write "pragma (Something);" next to other statements to influence their interpretation by the compiler. Other languages have similar mechanisms that are somehow outside the core language or added on top of it. These types of pragmas are always a bad idea.

I also argued that the functionality of pragmas must be represented as non-optional choices in the core languages. This is one of the lessons that the Ada community has learned over time - but it's too late to change this now in Ada.

So yes, pragmas are always a bad idea if we talk about the way they are implemented in most languages. The functionality of pragmas should be part of the core language, with proper syntax and semantics.

I hope that clarifies what I've stated and which you haven't understood, and that, your nitpicking aside, my position now makes sense to you. If not, there is not much I can do, I just wanted to point out a lesson learned in the Ada community, which is very stringent about language definitions. If you're interested in these kind of topics, I can recommend Michael Scott's Programming Language Pragmatics.

That's partially true. It's from "herba thea", so basically redundantly added the "herb" part to the common tea name.

Their overall communication strategy has been pretty bad, but this instance seems fine to me. It's providing information. I guess they should even provide more information against patching, since they don't talk about the issues fixes can cause.

I mean we are both speculating here unless there is some data to prove our claims, but I would say that Google dropped any attempt at keeping the brands too separate when they introduced the Google+ comment section.

The "Google preferred" also makes sense because all advertising that happens on Youtube is under the Google AdWords brand. There is no Youtube Ads, only Google Adwords for video.

From my perspective, I'd try walking before you run. You need to get the interview first.

Although you hear of Google hiring thousands of developers a year, and those that do get hired having a 5% chance of success or whatever, that doesn't mean that Google are guaranteed to offer you an interview. I've applied a handful of times, and despite having a Computer Science degree, startup, and small/large agency experience I've never managed to get past the application stage at Google or Microsoft. Microsoft and Amazon contacted me in the past, but neither actually resulted in an interview. Google rejected me within days of applying on both occasions I applied.

With that in mind I would recommend that you follow a loose curriculum, and just focus on becoming the best developer you can be. I'm currently working through John Washam's repo on getting a job at one of the big four, and it was good enough to get him through the door at Amazon.

https://github.com/jwasham/coding-interview-university

In general I think it's a good idea to rethink what your aims as a developer are every now and then, regardless of what company you want to work for. Recently, I was a senior .NET developer at a large agency working for big-name clients, but I often felt like I wasn't a "proper developer" because I worked on the .NET stack, and because for the past few years I've felt complacent in a senior-level role. To combat this, I started learning some new languages on the side, and eventually moved to a new job where I've switched from being the go-to guy for .NET to the goes-to guy for working on a Linux stack, and I hope that over the next few years I'll pick up enough knowledge that I can throw an application in again and not get immediately rejected.

Many typing assistance systems (like keyboards on Android or iOS) offer some kind of "emoji-text to emoji" conversion, meaning that if I type for example "pizza" I get the pizza slice emoji suggested in one of the three auto-completion suggestions. At least that is the case for Swype on iOS, which I personally use, but I've seen similar functionality on some Android keyboards.

Reading the article, that's the guy behind Firewatch. I think the problem is not his games but his social media use. I'd wager most of this abuse he received was after he DMCAed pewdiepie after pdp used the word nigga while playing. People don't like devs who have a "stream our game all you want it's free publicity for us" message when launching it and use spurious DMCA claims on people they don't like.

Maybe the problem are people who decided to make the video game industry woke and all about US centric politics. Or maybe the huge difference between the author and his father is "social" media and giving a damn about what is written there.
