There is a big debate about open plan, isn't there? I personally like working in a collaborative environment, at least within the scrum team all focussed on the same goals.

I think Pico's layout is quite good in that hardware and software engineers share the same space, but it's separated from tech support (who are on the phone a lot) and marketing and the warehouse. Sometimes it gets noisy, but no more than any other open plan I've been in.

If you come in for an interview, you'll get a tour of the building and can see whether our style is right for you :)

Ask HN: Articles on how social media manipulate their users to spend more time?
My sister was asking me for articles on how social media companies manipulate their users to spend more and more time on them. Things like "infinite scrolling" and Snaps "streaks" feature.

I seem to remember an x-google employee? putting out a manifesto suggesting that we should display a timer showing how long you've spent etc. I can't find the link now.

Anyway, if you do have any decent articles on the tricks and risks of using social media, particularly regarding children please pass them on.
The current A-series SoC’s were also designed around the power and thermal requirements of a mobile phone. In a laptop or desktop they would have a lot more wiggle room.
I’m not sure they can for this purpose. I remember people talking about the idea of buying AMD but it’s possible the license terms may say it doesn’t survive a purchase; making AMD or Via worthless for that purpose.
What I meant is that an error in the platform is not catastrophic, because in those cases, the blockchain can be paused, fixed, and if need be, rolled back.

In other words, errors that occur due to malfunctions in the platform are reversible. Errors in applications built on top of it are not.
I was fairly sure that I would be downvoted for being off topic, which is fair. It is possible to buy meat from animals that have been treated humanely (until the end) but in general difficult and expensive. You are correct that it is a touchy subject with people, but I will still annoy family and friends occasionally by bringing up this topic.

I had the misfortune to once actually see a pig processing plant, and that is one of those horrible images you can never get out of your mind.
> Having those mobile/tablet apps expand automatically to desktop is the next logical conclusion.

Thankfully Apple comprises vastly smarter people than me, but I've always thought this is a bad idea.

The two interaction models are so dramatically different that I don't see how merging them makes sense. A finger is not a mouse.

Do you have a source for this? After googling "fox news entertainment lawsuit" it appears this may be a myth

Cool, this is good to know! Should be easy to get it hooked up in Mint.
Neat, yes, but when you do procedural generation from local information only, you often get artificial looking "dungeons".

Though, it does make me curious about what extending this to use a "hierarchical" tileset might do. For example, start with large tiles that define a probability distribution. Tile those. Use that to initialize the probability distribution for the smaller tile generation.
It's also worth noting that the OS they migrated was not the one that ran on the bulk of the old ppc system but a relatively new Unix fork that at least at the time was pretty possix compliant.
Yep. Just to put this into perspective: tiny NeXT shipped NeXTStep on 4 architectures. M68K, Intel, PA-RISC and SPARC. They had at least two more in the lab, M88K and PPC.

Compiling for different architectures was a checkbox in ProjectBuilder (after you took care of endian issues, once). Much easier than in Xcode today.

My favorite was that they apparently shipped an additional architecture by accident: the developer tools came with one of the aforementioned architectures long after it had been officially dropped.
"President Trump is cutting regulations and despite all the hysteria to the contrary he is actually reducing the administrative powers of the executive branch and shrinking the size of many agencies."

Indeed. President Trump's judicial appointments are also great compared to what we would have had with a HRC victory. Leftists are all about curtailing personal freedom and eroding the Bill of Rights.

I have mostly libertarian positions on things, but I'm pro-military and want border enforcement. I'm generally happy with Trump's policies (note: not so much his behavior).

If Republicans can gain seats in the midterms, and personally I think there's a high probability they will, there's a good chance some real reform will occur in Washington - which is of course the real reason for most of the hysteria regarding President Trump.

By the way, did you happen to see that his overall approval rating hit 50% today...? ;-)
Can you describe the process of assigning interviews to interviewers and the process of choosing times for the interview sessions?

If I wanted to set aside a time period of say, 8 contiguous hours every week, during which I wanted to do as many interviews as possible, how many could I expect to be able to fit in?
It’s true that Apple fumbled 68k —> PPC as far as MPW went but it’s also true that creating fat binaries was a total non-issue with CodeWarrior. Apple had learnt from that mistake for PPC —> x86
Component manufacturers & companies like newegg should get together and fund a Linux distro that has great ports of all the most popular OSX software :)
Well. We'll see what they do, but Apple had better be very careful. If a lot of OSS software won't run on Apple's new chip, then it becomes very hard for a software developer like myself to stick with Apple. And it is developer energy that sustains the software ecosystem for Apple....including many developers who are in the Mac ecosystem to develop for iOS.

This is not necessarily the wrong move for Apple, but it is fraught with danger. Here be dragons.
No android pay either.
People are still loyal to Windows, because that's what they are used to. And PC's and laptops still has Windows pre-installed.

Why should we need to boycott a company like this? The government should prevent them from operating, otherwise it has failed at its job. In this case, this has led to a death, which is still probably not enough for the government to intervene permanently. Seems too me like the failure here is completely with the government failing to do its job of regulating and protecting people. Given enough cash, I'm not surprised and am prepared to see many more people die at the hands of companies like uber without any serious consequences whatsoever for the company.
> x86 really has nothing going for it architecture wise. It just has a market because Intel makes fast chips that run existing software.

People buy computers to run software. If they can't run their existing software on it, the computer has no value. Just like with the original PPC-to-Intel transition, where Apple provided a PPC emulator on Intel, if they go with ARM, Apple will have to provide Intel-to-ARM translation software in macOS for several years.

But now, a significant number people are using Macs as hosts for x86 Linux and Windows virtual machines. This changes the calculus a bit. It's one thing to emulate an ISA to run software in a user context; quite another to perform cross-ISA virtualization. QEMU can do the latter, but at a significant performance penalty.

It should also be noted that Apple is sitting on _much_ more cash than Intel. At the end of last year, Intel had $14B in cash on hand, while Apple had $285B.
Why are you so sure the baseband isn’t spying on you?
The last few years of iOS development have arguably added more big features to iPads than iPhones. Split screen, picture in picture, new gestures, drag/drop, new multitasking workflows, Pencil, etc.

Yeah, it felt a little stuck for a while, but iPads are ridiculously more useful and viable as work platforms than they were in the iOS 8/9 days.

Well, that certainly does say quite a bit about the mentality of Tesla buyers, who are willing to pay a few extra grand for something that not only does not exist, but may not even ever exist. And hell, they aren't even paying for any extra hardware.

But it sure does make Tesla look progressive alright. And upon a cursory, or even second reading, the option does certainly read like you're getting something. That's probably where those 40% come from. Basically, this is a behavior I would expect from some shady operation on Kickstarter, not from a major corporation...
"required ion temperature"

The scheme involves significantly non-maxwellian ion distributions, so "temperature" isn't really appropriate. In particular, 3He ions get pumped to higher energy than D ions, which helps suppress DD fusion. They claim the scheme is consistent with Rider's limits on energy circulation in non-maxwellian plasmas.
Yep, I think people tend to gloss over how smooth these transitions really were. From a creative professional perspective, they were huge short-term PITA until Adobe etc had everything ported over. Also Excel lost VBA support for several years.
I point out there are three armchair points-of-view that are possible here which are, in my experience, equally tiresome:

(1) All regulation is bad.
(2) All regulation is good.
(3) All regulation which is net positive is good.

(3) may be more complex, but it can be an armchair position because it excludes the political and moral questions of who wins, who loses, and who decides.

Importantly, (1) and (3) can also both be non-armchair points of view. It really depends what arguments are made in their defense. A libertarian, fully cognizant of the points made by the GP, can still believe (1) if his basis is moral grounds. Likewise (3), if it is defended on utilitarian grounds. Sure, if a libertarian argues (1) on an economic basis, it suggests a certain ignorance we could call 'armchair'.

But I would argue that we largely ignore moral arguments. So, even a libertarian arguing (1) from an economics standpoint may actually be doing so not because he believes it, but because he believes his audience will reject his argument from his core belief; and I would be hesitant to call him 'armchair' (even though he is annoying) just as I would be hesitant to call a utilitarian 'armchair' if he avoids the political questions. Both can be wrong without being wrong.

I don't think that's the right definition of avant garde. Though there's no unified language between _all_ of the works of art collected under this banner, that's not to say that there aren't working dialects that help to shape the exploration. Otherwise, your distinction between east-coast and west-coast synthesis would be meaningless, after all!

Recall that serialism, which is practically the first thing that comes to mind for many people when they think of avant-garde music, was essentially a _structuralist_, not a deconstructionist, movement. The deconstruction of the tonic system was what came before, in the music of the late 19th and early 20th century. Serialism encompasses various attempts to build a new musical language from the remains.

So it is with Steve Reich. Rather than focusing purely on what Reich's music takes away, you will get more from his work if you look at what he is trying to _build._
Apple spent a lot of effort with each transition trying to make it as smooth for customers as possible while still pushing forward with the new system.

I have no doubt some customers were caused pain by the transitions, and some left the Apple world entirely, but characterizing them as being "fucked over" seems a bit over the top.
It's not powerful/faster that sells chips, it's power and speed relative to envelope. Maybe the iMac pro continues to ship with Xeons, the iMac with Core i5 and i7 depending on configuration.

But compare the Intel Core m3 to the Apple A11, and a completely different story will emerge. The A11 is already comparable to relatively recent Macbooks in terms of performance.
Nah... back then single thread performance mattered a lot. Today most users can do most of their work on something with the performance of an iPad.

Apple will not suffer in 2020 from having lower performance than intel. It wont matter. Form factor, screen quality, memory speed, memory size, touch pad, battery life etc will matter so much more.

Multi threading is also so much more common on pro app which require performance. They can just match intel by using more cores. ARM is way cheaper than intel so I don't see how they can lose this game. PPC was an entirely different world.
Apple's ARM chips compare favorably to the crap that is in most laptops. Those Intel Core i3 6100U or Core i5 6200U chips? The midrange and low end will be greatly served from ARM chips.

They will not compete at the high end against the Core i7s with 6 cores running at 3.8GHz (12 with HT) though.
Question about libertarianism: what is the view on taxes and the large part of society that’s been dealt shitty cards? Is there a common solution that addresses this?

The impression I get when I think libertarian is “every man for himself” and “survival of the fittest.” Now, I hate paying taxes but I acknowledge that I’ve been dealt a good hand (a quicker mind). Am I getting the wrong impression?
It would surprise me, because they made a big public show of recommitting to the Mac Pro last year.

If they had any doubts all they had to do was say nothing -- which is their strong preference -- and it would have remained clear that the Mac Pro was dead.

Making a strong "trust us, we're working on it" statement and then canceling would be a pretty bad unforced error. Not impossible, but with their top-down, forward-looking decison-making process it seems very unlikely to me.
So what I'm hearing is the 2019 Macbook Pro will be the one to buy?
I prefer Unbound as it lets me set a min-ttl. This of course is taboo and comes with caveats, so you have to know what you are doing and the implications. Unbound has better support for DNSSEC as well.
What is the difference between an ad and abusing somebody who is in a weak position? There is a difference and targeted ads are dancing on that line, if you don't see this you should read on how people get recruited to sects. They don't advertise, they target people who can be easily be taken advantage of based on their behavior or emotions. I'm not saying it's wrong but there should be a limit on how and what can you target with ads or at least be transparent about it. "We have classified you as depressed" and see if users are happy about it.
I don't see Intel going out of business any time soon...
Sorry, I proposed unit testing as a real-world formalisation of requirements in an earlier post, and you didn't contradict me. What automated system would you use for this instead?
I don't think European people are OK with their politicians taking Facebook from them.
> third parties outside Apple who haven't even heard of the possibility of this happening until today

This announcement is hardly a surprise. The writing has been on the wall for at least the last 5 years since LLVM replaced GCC in XCode. It became even more obvious when Apple started compiling to "Bitcode" so that they could deliver optimized binaries to devices. What that replacement meant is that it would ease Apple's transition away from any particular architecture - developers shouldn't have to do much if the app is installed from the App Store.
For a while my employer was buying motherboards with a graphics chip that requires gma500 drivers. Forget which but it was an Atom platform of somewhat recent vintage. gma500 ain't dead yet, sadly
What are some good courses/tutorials with projects for learning JavaScript?

For the same reason that any journal with a full time editor and not a lot of subscribers costs a lot of money per issue or per subscription:

If in doubt, put a catputer photo. Cats always look fabulous.

Update: It seems that error-cat has gone now. In resume, anybody could download a list of all people eating at this restaurants, their telephones, addresses, pastry preferences and last four numbers of their credit cards. Am I right? It seems that entering a single telephone they obtain a dozen of diferent users. Is a sort of wildcard or something?.

Wow, today I learned: Tinder, PoF, OkCupid, Match.com and more are owned by the same company.
Correct, however they also give 2 signing bonuses, that bring you to an "equivalent" total compensation, so at least you are getting straight cash, not hoping for a stock payout that may not come.
That alone doesn't make it "obvious" as applied _to a Mac_, which is a very different kind of device that caters to a different audience that often has special needs. See our other discussion threads elsewhere.

If that extra driving averages to only 3 miles a day it might as well be explained by people in SFBA (Tesla's major market as I understand) just not being able to afford to live within a reasonable commuting distance.
Apple has a long history of being strongly against things right up until they actually do them. And i think there's a significant difference between a converged iPad and MacBook, and a MacBook that is still primarily a laptop that runs MacOS, but can run iOS apps as a sort of bonus feature and consolation prize for incompatibility with existing Mac apps.

It's also worth noting that when he said that, Chromebooks didn't run android apps.
Based on the discussions in the Rust All-Hands last week: yes, there will still be pre-built versions of std for common platforms.

Perhaps I'm naïve, but the fact this "breach" is being disclosed anonoymously, via a medium commonly associated with nefarious data dumps suggests to me that there really was little consideration paid to allowing Panera an opportunity to correct this situation.

Disclosing this as such was irresponsible, despite being an important discovery.
