How is it not? This entire thread is about comparing iOS to a fully unrestricted desktop operating systems where we all work normally.

> Some obscure CAD package is not exactly the litmus test of how usable an iPad can be.

Actually, it is in this case. That was the entire point which was clearly stated from the first sentence:

> The second you want to branch out and try something different...

So the obscure CAD package itself is not the litmus test for how usable something is, no. However trying to use one or more obscure package is the litmus test for how usable the iPad is in its ability to let you branch out and try obscure things.

> Actually there is...

Well that would have really been some relevant information to reply with.

So what's your solution? Running a virtual machine containing a fully unrestricted OS on your iPad? (EDIT: I see someone below pointed out the "Fusion 360" iOS app which seems like a gimped, ahem I mean mobile, version of the full app.)
I don't agree with the practice, but creating a sense of urgency is very common in marketing.
I've used norse mythology (using danish versions of names) in the past. The DNS servers were "odin" and "mimer". Webservers were "valhalla" and "udgaard", the DHCP server was "Yggdrasil". Etc.
That's a battery longevity feature and not a safety feature, though. Any consumer electronics device should be safe to charge to 100% and be left plugged in.

Fundamentally, no. There may be practical difference between specific machines and people.

Depending on the machine, the reverse could be true.
The first video that got 200 comments, some of the comments were made when the story was on first page, the rest were replies that also happened after the story was gone from the first page(the time coincides with US people starting getting up).

It is just a felling/instinct I have and I don't want us both spend our energy on trying to figure it out, if the community votes in this way then we can't do anything about it, maybe having a page that pulls this kind of topics easy accessible would be interesting,.
I'm not saying any of these things aren't fine. I'm just saying it's important that higher income people actually recognize that they are higher income, where for any economic issues they may be facing, others have it much worse.

Anecdotally, one of the biggest problems I've seen long time urban residents have with gentrifiers is they don't make any effort to get along with the existing residents, and participate in the long time culture of the neighborhood. Through recognizing one's wealth, they would better understand that they are in the position of power, and should be more of their responsibility to integrate with the existing community than the other way around.

This is a compelling argument, i.e., that regulated promotion is part of the long game toward protection against toxic behaviors. Probably the most notorious example would be supervised injection sites. The devil in the details is to what extent do you impose costs on the public majority that isn't afflicted with the problem, and accounting for all of the externalities, not just those produced by a commissioned "study". It's one thing to implement a progressive tax to claw back some of the advantages wealthy people reap from regulation. We can read those numbers on a balance sheet. Quite another to actually build the betting parlor or injection site, which invariably lands in the lower to middle class communities. Who's really paying the higher costs here in broad terms of value and quality of life impact?

Indeed if you control for these there’s no gap in the outcome variable (pay) but there is a huge gap in the n variable (number of women).

The question to ask then is why does that happen? Are the reasons for that valid? Are equal opportunities available? Do we even want equal opportunities as a society or an individual?
Good is competition. Began the Core Wars have.
Person Person X on instance I (X@I) follows Person Y on instance J (Y@J), and Person Y moves to instance K (Y@J->Y@K), there is currently no automatic way to have X@I start following Y@K.

Y@J can announce they're moving and say where they're going, but there's no automated process. Several have been proposed, all (so far) can be horrendously abused. So far, X@I has to see the notification and follow Y@K manually.

When I lived in DC I had very mixed feelings about the impact of the Cherry Blossom Festival. On one hand its creates a ton of Tourism Revenue for the city, on the other the streets and parks become over crowded and you see the increase in litter and pollution at the parks.

I never heard this story and was only familiar with the story the Mayor of Tokyo donated the trees to establish friendly connections with the capital.

I would argue that the analysis of wages based on different groupings is worthwhile; as long as you don't try to predetermine what you're going to get out of them.

This analysis doesn't show us that woman make more given equal background/education/etc. However, it does provide the interesting information that women (of that age group) are generally better educated. If we take out of it the desire to find out why they're better educated (and ways we can balance it out), we're better off.

The same is true of studies that show women are paid less, but then the real reason (behind the results highlighted in that study) is that they tend to take lower paying jobs [1]. Sure, you can't take out of that "employers aren't paying them enough", but you can take out of it "why are women generally in the lower paying jobs?", and look for ways to change that fact.

[1] I'm not saying there is or is not a gender gap for equal jobs, just discussing the useful takeaways of studies that ignore the difference in jobs when analyzing the gender gap.
Announcing the MapD Cloud: self-service GPU-accelerated analytics
You’re only comparing one variable, pay, so I’m not sure why you want a multivariate analysis. If you’re asking whether there’s a gender pay gap amoung similarly qualified people, then you’re asking a different question.
Finally the regular i7 has moved beyond four cores. It only took ten years.
The sticking point for me with Android or iOS is always the web browser devtools. I write all my code on a remote server, so a decent terminal emulator is sufficient for that, but without local browser debugging tools, I am way less productive. I don't get why the mobile browsers are crippled versions of the desktop ones in that regard.

It's also the greatest thing about Chromebooks. They have real desktop Chrome. I have other gripes with the OS just like I do with Android or iOS in terms of usability vs MacOS, Ubuntu, or Windows, but it's the best "mobile OS" currently.
It will be an interesting exercise for Apple to create a fully sandboxed computer which can be still used for actual development. With all of the push they do for education and learning to code, there is still no way to actually develop an iPad app on an iPad.

This kind of makes sense, except that we are talking about hardware devices here.

The hardware is manufactured by a private party that has no obligation to follow anyone else's rules.

That party may voluntarily decide to participate in some standards body and get their device certified in which case maybe they are violating some voluntary private certification, but I don't think that is the case here.

As a consumer, unless the manufacturer specifically guaranteed compliance with some standard, then the product is not defective. You get what you specified. If you failed to specify (or verify the specification) that is your fault as a consumer.

Your imaginary standards and rules are not legally binding in the real world, which is my manufacturers ignore them, and why it is silly to call this "theft" or even "hijacking."

How can a manufacturer hijack their own device? It is their device. You the consumer chose to buy it. Unless they guaranteed you something in writing that is missing, caveat emptor.
For work I prefer the macOS environment partially for the software, but mostly because the machines are standardized and interchangeable. If one machine dies I can swap it for another without any fuss. Restore from Time Machine and get on with life, something that takes about an hour or so.

This is really not the case with Windows or Linux. These require a lot of tinkering and tuning. A recent swap from one Windows 7 machine to a Windows 10 one took days, the migration procedure is basically garbage.

I've never had much luck with desktop Linux even though I use it all the time on servers but those get rebuilt with a new OS when they're out of date. Upgrading them is just too much of a fuss.

If you've got a workflow for keeping desktop Linux up to date and rolling over from one machine to another as you upgrade hardware, that's worth sharing.
Sadly you can't with AT&T, they have a cert on their routers and won't give out any IPs to anything else other than their hardware.
Avs Video Editor 8.0 Crack with Serial Key and Patch Latest
This looks nice. One thing though - you should consider using strings instead of numbers for the amounts. The problem is that numbers in JS are actually floats, and you lose precision on high values. Probably not going to make a big difference, but e.g. 100000000000000001 can't be represented as a number in JS.
HN always felt like a minimalist reddit. Just a better tech subreddit

I like to use the parent/old person test for ui usability(obviously not every old person will do, you know the type tho). I showed my parents reddit and they picked it up right away. Both failed to learn snapchat and struggle through most "modern" websites.

I blew their minds when I showed them if they click the three lines on lpta of websites, really a hamburger menu, they get options and stuff.

Often users are just expected to know these "design paradigms" like symbols(hamburger menu) or which direction to swipe(im still guessing half the time Snapchat). Whatever happened to using words like settings to open the settings menu. When did GUIs' forget to show available commands to users in an understandable format.
Perhaps it was added after you wrote the comment, but the second line on the website now says "powered by WaveNet from Google Deepmind".
I know HIBP's Troy HUnt has very carefully detailed his ethical and moral tradeoffs in what he does, and I appreciate that as a benchmark.

But I so want to lose my mind, start getting these breach db's and start emailing Congresscritters with "This email was hacked, you're screwed, we're screwed, and here's legit links to help fix our lives back up... (eff.org) (hibp) etc"

And now I'm on the watch list for when someone crazier than me actually does this. Sigh.
Matrix doesn’t protect metadata on the server currently - so you have to trust the admins that run the servers you are participating in. In the longer term we want to fix this (https://matrix.org/~matthew/2016-12-22%20Matrix%20Balancing%...) but we haven’t started on it yet.
There's a different problem I want solved. I want the option to see only original content, nothing shared.

I don't want to see some random cat video Sarah thought was cute. I can go to /r/kittens myself if I want to see random cute cat videos. I do want to see the video Jen took of her cat because I know him and sometimes feed him when she's out of town.

I think I'm not alone in this, and some of the popularity of Instagram is due to its UX making it easy to upload content directly from a mobile device and not so convenient to share content not created by the user.

I've used the FBPurity browser extension to create a nearly share-free Facebook feed. It reduced the amount of content by 80+% and greatly improved the signal to noise ratio.

> So when the users don't conform to the world view of the platform operators, the answer is platform sponsored propaganda? That is incredibly dystopian.

Advertising is propaganda dedicated to getting you to conform the advertiser's preferences, and it's already targeted however the advertiser prefers, which could be by lack of conformance to those preferences.

You are basically suggesting that the platform operator doing themselves what they already build their business around allowing anyone with a checkbook to do is dystopian.

I would suggest it is no more dystopian than the status quo.
Capitalism generally favors mega-farms though, due to the efficiencies of scale.

Larger corporations can more reliably offer wages, better plan for trends, better analyze market conditions, afford the latest technologies, etc. etc.

Traditionally, when companies got too big in the USA, the regulators would split them up to allow competitors to flourish. This sort of splitting doesn't happen these days however.

> But up close, the changes have turned Reddit from an esoteric maze into a website anyone can use—like a junk drawer that's been gutted, cleaned, and reorganized.

> For people who have been on Reddit for years, the obtuseness is part of the appeal.

What maze? What obtuseness? Reddit is a plain, usable site (esp. if you turn off the image previews they added a few years back). There's simply nothing wrong with it the way it is.

I suspect that this is a submarine article, paid for by Reddit itself.

I also suspect that the new interface will be yet another JS-laden, SPA atrocity — but perhaps I'm wrong, and I'll be pleasantly surprised by nice, static, server-rendered HTML instead.
Because that would cause Panera a lot of money and the alternative (this) will likely cost them very little money. The choice then becomes clear: it's cheaper to tweet out an "oops" apology than to actually prevent it.

They don't care that your information got leaked, that doesn't enter into the calculation (unless it costs them money, which it doesn't).
Tavisca is hiring java devloper
I've lost the link to the article, but there's still a certain something that Spotify lacks compared to a human radio playlist programmer.
And, if anything, it's easier now than in the past. Most code has been abstracted away from the bare metal, so it's more a matter of porting runtime environments over (V8, JRE, etc) than it is rewriting apps.
Good one! Added it to my TODO's. In the future I'm also planning to make the link visiting a bit easier
I think about trying to hide the metadata of who is communicating...

I wonder about a public stream of end-to-end encrypted messages.

Anyone can add a message to the stream.

Everyone reads all of the messages, and tries to decrypt all of them.

There are lots of variants to this, lots of ways to optimize it, probably lots of ways to implement it. But that's the core idea.

One variant is that what everyone downloads is just enough of a message metadata identifier to see if they're the intended recipient (something about Bloom Filters or PGP Signatures or something, I dunno). Then, if you are the intended recipient, you request the message contents itself. To obscure which messages were for you, you also download some very large number of other messages.

Something about microtransaction fees to pay for all of it. Maybe something about distributed ledger. Mumble, mumble. Maybe messages only live for X days or something.

Thoughts?

Lol, nope. At the job I just left almost all of our team had MacBook Pros. We ran our entire dev stack with docker-compose and wasted so much time dealing with broken docker crap that ultimately stemmed from the fact that you're not running docker natively, but rather in a VM.
