They're third party app launching and search solutions but Wox [1] and Listary [2] (not entirely free) come to mind.

For me the staggering number of Windows non-server SKU options [3] has been a pet peeve. I have zero insight into how profitable it is for them to structure things this way but in terms of optics it's just comical. Now they might be carving out the Home editions even further [4]??

Linux Foundation Spawns Child Foundation for AI
Haha, how have you managed to avoid Linux re-installs? I almost always eventually break something horribly while tinkering. Always my fault, but still requires a reinstall.
That's true if you're using 35MM equivalent lenses. One must switch to medium format sizes.
Do you really have to ask? Is it a separate system or something?

In Australia, you must pay using the normal way (which is pretty much always free), and if it’s the same bank it’s processed instantly and if it’s not it’s processed generally overnight.

Pretty much everybody’s moving to a new real-time payments platform in the next few months too, so it should just always be instant for domestic transfers.
At what cost? Some cultures do not value the health and life of the every day person. I don't think that is something to be honored or respected.
That is a different Kettle of fish.

First of all, Apple came up with a slightly different set of resistors on the data pins (leaning that the data in and data out will read slightly different V) to signal to their devices that they could go above 1A draw while charging.

The official charging spec says to put a resistor between the data pins (inside the charger to support detachable USB cables), or simply to short them with a blob of solder.

Your JBL speakers are likely reacting as if it was plugged into a normal USB port.

also keep in mind that the charging spec came about as China and EU wanted to deal with the piles of incompatible chargers that was going into landfills.

Thus older USB ports max out at 5V 0.5A, as that was the spec back when USB 1.0 was launched. Also why some external HDDs come with a Y cable that draws power from two USB ports to get the motor spinning.
Ubuntu installs by default updates automatically. Even if you choose no automatic updates during install.
I'm only just now trying out Debian KDE as a daily driver (previously only Windows/OSX for all non "RDP/SSH into this box, run 5 commands for troubleshooting stuff then exit" usage scenarios) and I have to say, I'm okay with them getting all fancy with it if it means I have fuzzy analogues to Windows' Start Menu, Control Panel applets, settings dialogues, etc.

The menus, etc. help me grope my way through the dark as I learn the "Linux Way" of computing concepts.

I'm not even talking about their mass gravitation, I'm saying its possible that central singularity has some sort of unknown gravitational effect that ripples outward. When you talk about dark matter, you cant limit yourself to conventional gravitation theory. Maybe the SMB's are the heavy neutrino/WIMP source just as our sun is the source of the neutrino's we detect. We still have no clue what happens at the center of these singularities.
Does dual boot not annoy you?
It certainly helps to have competition but is not required. I have Comcast also, and there are no alternatives where I live (5 miles from Palo Alto, BTW). Sometimes when I call in they immediately give me the discounted rate, and sometimes I have to call in a few times to get a rep who can get it done. Kind of a pain, but worth it to save hundreds of dollars every year.
Microsoft/Windows backwards compatibility is absolutely insane. I am running software from the 90s on my Windows machine. It works fine.

I’m most impressed by his accusation of Amazon using the USPS as their “delivery boy”.

A formal onboarding program sounds great. We have nothing and I notice that some people even after years don't know how some systems work.
Well, I mean from electrocution specifically. 100-200mA through your heart is probably going to be fatal, and the low resistance required for that to happen with a simple 9V battery source has at least once been achieved by inserting multimeter probes in the thumbs such that the current passed via the blood stream through the heart, causing fibrillation.

Interestingly, there exists a sort of upper threshold where the amperage is less likely to be fatal due to severe cramps preventing fibrillation IIRC.

I miss their older layout.
You have paid your debt to society, you should not continue to be punished in perpetuity.

Perhaps make an LLC, and use your middle name in place of your last name when communicating with people? Or legally change your last name? That way they pay you as a contractor, with checks to your business, and no one is the wiser. You are in survival mode now, I wouldn't let pride keep you from changing your name.

> to suggest that they cannot effect change or note its imperfections without being perfect themselves is silly.

It's not the idea of perfection, but the idea of being able to successfully make changes at a small level and slowly and increasingly make more profound changes in your life. There's a great deal of arrogance/idealism to believe you can jump on the bridge and command a ship.

> alt: "You didn't feel touched by Jesus/the holy spirit because you didn't reach out with full sincerity."

Now you're just attacking the strawman.
The problem is that it removes any incentive for loyalty and encourages churn, while being a pain in the ass for the customer. What benefit can possibly come from getting people to constantly switch providers?
Give em small projects and code review them big time (kindly of course). Accept a bit of argument (i.e. don't get hung up on requiring humility from the junior, mistakes bring that on their own). Do not be time constrained on these initial projects but keep on top to prevent interminable bike-shedding or pursuits-for-perfection juniors often have. If no improvement is shown over time, there is just not much you can do...sometimes mentoring means recognizing when it's fruitless.
The novel is excellent: https://jakeseliger.com/2017/12/28/kingdom-of-the-wicked-boo... and underrated.
Seriously, what are they supposed to do? Calculate the tax owed and then add a random amount?
Encourage questions - there are no stupid questions (annoying questions, maybe, if it's something you've already answered a bunch of times - lazy questions, maybe, if it's something that could have been easily looked up - but even those have responses to help learning what questions to ask and how to ask them).

The biggest gap I've seen between being junior and being senior is breadth of vision. So, my mentoring challenge has been to get junior devs to see the big picture. This means looking beyond just their specific chunk of code to understand how their decisions affect other parts of code and other developers. I often use the idea of 'future-me', as in, how will future-me think of now-me if I go ahead with this implementation, if I don't write good tests or comments (where future-me includes other devs, especially those who may not work for the company yet).
This entire comment thread is the most Reddit thing that I've ever seen on Hacker News (and I'm not sure how I feel about it)

I don't think you have used a Mac recently then. When you plug headphones in, the sound outputs through the headphones. And it works if the computer was off when you plugged them in. Or asleep. Or closed. I probably care way to much about this.
The fact that you are looking for it means something.
My understanding was that Amazon, until recently, intentionally hasn’t turned any profit. You don’t have to pay taxes if you don’t make any money...
While I see what you're saying, without the details of how the pricing structure works this is basically gambling from the consumers point of view and theres a lot of harm in that.
You’re definitely targeting the wrong companies if you are applying to Goldman Sachs. Apply to work remotely for a Bay Area startup like a YC company. They don’t run background checks as frequently or as well and they often don’t care about whether their remote employees are felons (while they might care about on-site employees).
No problem! It also does enable some other things too. For example, closures have a type that's not writable, so

fn foo() -> impl Fn(i32) -> i32 {
|x| x + 1
}

can be written, since closures implement the Fn trait, but there's no way to write the type directly.
The central thesis of Guns, Germs, and Steel doesn't hold up that well when you compare it to facts. One point to make is that maize was very readily adopted by North American culture to a strong degree (it took historians a while to realize that North Americans had in fact developed agriculture independently of Mesoamerica). By contrast, there was no major transfer of crops along the Eurasian interior between the independent agricultural discoveries in Mesopotamia and China.

Another thing to point out: the American staple of maize is very nearly a complete provider of essential nutrients (just add beans), which cannot be said for Eurasian crops. And maize is the highest caloric yield crop, followed by potatoes. As 1491 points out, when the Mesoamericans faced the Spaniards, the Spaniards were probably suffering from lifelong malnutrition... and the Aztecs weren't.

The evidence is, in fact, that Mesoamerica in particular won the agricultural lottery, meaning that Eurasian supremacy cannot be based on agricultural superiority.
I've definitely noticed that if use Uber infrequently, I consistently get marketing promotions for "40% off" of your rides.

This might be specific to my market, but it happens really consistently.

Honestly, I just think about it like a marketing analyst. Who would you try to entice back onto your platform? High value users, who show interest (i.e. opening the app but not taking rides). It really becomes easy to game most marketing promos this way, but Uber's is particularly gullible.

> Who are creative within a narrow, conventionally "girly" band of creative endeavors. Teen Boss would not be interested in a 15-year-old girl who invented a revolutionary new type of automotive engine, because it is not a magazine about girls with grease on their hands.

Perhaps not, but then you're being reductive by equating engineering with 'grease on their hands'.

There's plenty of STEM careers that don't involve any grease - such as materials science, fashion design, sound engineering, to stuff that this magazine would wholeheartedly endorse, like developing your own make up line. 'I made thousands building a FaceTune competitor' certainly would.

For that matter, how many people on Hacker News deal with grease in their day to day work? And is the kind of thing being discussed here that different from 'I made $32k a month recurring revenue' IndieHackers story, the likes of which regularly gets voted to the top of HN?

How to Quit a Top Tier Tech Job
I've been pining for a greyscale digital camera. I think maybe Leica had one but it seemed overly pricey (to the surprise of no, I suppose). Price aside though, having only the one I am aware of is slim pickings.

With no Bayer filter I expect four times the pixel density with no gain in noise (and in fact a slight improvement in speed since the lossiness of the filter is removed from the light path).

I guess I want the sharp, medium format portraits we saw from the 1960's — but digital.

I've considered building my own by either:

1) using a telescope CCD and building my own camera, or
2) try to remove the Bayer filter from the CCD.

I dislike both those options....
Vue arrived in 2013 I believe, but it has gotten more popular in the past year. React's a good framework regardless of Facebook's flaws as a company. NPM's functionality has caught up with Yarn and NPM 5+ is pretty solid overall. The competition from Yarn was good for NPM and helped improve its design. But in terms of UI frameworks, we seem to have peaked. New frameworks are coming out, to be sure...but it seems like devs are pretty happy with React/Vue or React clones at this point.

You don't even need such a high-resolution sensor. At that level, you might as well have multiple cameras and stitch the results together.

You're right about the watch, if you look at the bridge in the enlarged picture you can still make out the blurred letters.
Usually, it's up to the audio chipset driver manufacturers to provide the headphone switching logic. Windows itself has a more passive view of sound devices. You can change the active device from the context menu of the speaker icon in the system tray, and some chipsets (e.g., Realtek) tend to do the headphone switching for you.

> And I don't think they're actually paid ads, for either the suggested apps or the rare occasion they've put an "ad" as the lock screen background. They've promoted the Surface on it before, and then for Tomb Raider, I think they were mostly pushing the idea of "hey, you can get games in the Windows Store now", rather than it necessarily being a paid campaign with the game studio.

So you're saying MS doesn't profit if you buy a Surface or something from the Windows Store?
Make popular and cheaply available ($1 - $3) a simple device that can plug into a port and pound the device through all the modes, blowing it up in spectacular fashion if it's not compliant. Make them ubiquitous enough that mischievous sorts are prone to quickly destroy any device put on the market with flawed ports.

Note: There is probably an ethical issue with this, but it doesn't jump out at me.
The problem with this is, when you pull in new developers - it takes them weeks or months to understand everything. Whereas a Laravel app, they need maybe a few days at best to figure out what design principles you're using and what style, and where you put repos/models and such, but then they're good to go.

I hate working on code where some systems engineer from the 80's thinks they're big and bad and can code an awesome website using just propel + plain php and then expect every new dev to just learn it and love it as much as they do.

I don’t think this is a “all in from the get go” like investment, where, once you started, you either run through your original plan or abandon it completely. If solar cells become more efficient during construction, they will be able to switch to using them for new construction (they probably won’t even have a choice, as they won’t be able to buy the old ones anymore)

Also, at that scale, they will be replacing stuff continuously even before they are finished building it.

Google and Amazon aren’t running outdated computers in their ten year old data centers, either.
I'm not saying it can't work. I was in a position as a part time fitness instructor and a very occasional personal trainer, that people would ask me for advice. The safest most general advice that would work for "90% of the people 90% of the time", would be to focus on their diet (not "a" diet) for weight loss and to recommend a dietician for help in eating a well balance meal.

My goal was to help them get stronger and in better cardiovascular shape - not to help them lose weight. I would actively discourage them from thinking of exercise as a weight loss tool. Anyone who was active enough and already in shape enough to work out to the point where they were losing weight wasn't coming to me for advice.
Essentially: previously, small local perturbations (everywhere though) could make an image look imperceptibly different to a human but be totally misclassified.

This research says: defending against that is not enough.
If you're allowed to vastly modify a small area of the picture, you can once again achieve misclassification.

No, the stack only grows for the initial thread in a process. Subsequent threads don't have growable stacks. And this is true for virtually every operating system that matters, not just Linux.

Note that Go stacks can also shrink.
And there’s a fine example of windows user bipolar disorder, a condition I suffer from also. It’s amazing but it pokes you in the eye ten times a day with ridiculous things that should just bloody well work.

If it didn’t poke you in the eye ten times a day it’d be perfect. However Microsoft have been chasing fad dragons for the last decade and only get 80% of the way through engineering efforts before direction changes. That last 20% is what makes people nod approvingly and smile and it’s called quality.

Hopefully this change will resolve that problem.

I can't make heads or tails of the technical details of this, but I think it's fair to start with the prior that Nintendo doesn't care too much about non-proprietary formats/interoperability/etc. I developed this impression when the Gamecube came out -- weird minidisks when Sony had already switched over to CDs and then DVDs, no ability to play external media, an online community that seemed pretty half-baked.

I haven't played videogames regularly for a decade though so perhaps things have changed. I now use a PS4 controller to play some games on my computer, and it's really nice, integrates naturally.
