In theory $34M/year worth of employees should help you build a stronger company that would make $34M more next year.

In practice though, maybe Snap just can't grow that fast. Which is fine, but it's still sad that 220 people lost their jobs.

Apple will never distribute gpl v3 software, this is the reason bash is ancient on mac and why samba is gone.

Any license with a Patent clause or Tivoization clause will be verboden. As an example you will never get something that depends on Postgres in the Apple store.

the biggest problem with macs is not the software/openness.
the biggest problem is the price.
the older models might have had a justifiable price, however the new 15" models with a touch-whatever, costs way more and have less value. they actually even replaced the SD slot, which probably a lot of professional artists needed (or at least used). I used it to extend my harddrive with a 256gb extension card If I would need a new model (replacement for my pro late 13 model I would need to pay 1000 € more than for the late 13 (I need more harddisk space since 512gb wouldn't be enough and the sd card upgrade is insane.)
even worse the late 13 had a 512gb sd, the new model costs 500€ more and has a 256gb sd card. just insane.
dell sells me a precision with a dock more memory (32gb or 64gb) and the best processor that could be in a mac + 1tb ssd for the same amount than the cheapest new mac book pro. (it has ubuntu 16.04 preinstalled.)
The device drivers compatibility and availability on Linux these days has never been better. Even better than Windows and OS X out of the box in many cases. Seriously, there has been huge improvements in the last few years.

If you want to run Linux on a laptop and get the best experience, a Mac is not the best option. Thinkpad (business class X and T series) is what you are looking for.
With all the money they are borrowing, some lender is eventually going to say “no”. A reduced credit rating just means, “we don’t think they can service more debt.” The credit rating doesn’t mean that there is significant risk to current creditors.

Moody’s rating is also based on naive fresh faced belief in aspirational targets as accurate forecasts.

We will see if Tesla meets their revised targets. My interest in the company is as a reservation holder, and all I really care about is that they stay afloat. I am not an investor looking for incredible returns on overvalued stock.
Just FYI it's probably best not to mention highly desirable keywords like Haskell if you don't actually have that kind of work to offer.
Atlassian’s two-year cloud journey
Why can't they all be right?

It's not like there's a big man in the sky telling everyone that wars must only be fought between two opposing sides with identical motives on a logically comparable continuum.

It's not even like wars must even be based on positions that can be meaningfully called right or wrong. Or that most wars can be meaningfully interpreted as "two sides". Even within the allies of world war 2, you would have a variety of factions and motivations, as well as minority players with diametrically opposed views and beliefs.
This sounds like a dog version of the narcissist prayer.
TB3 is definitely an improvement over the TB2 ports on previous Macs. But there's no reason Apple couldn't build a laptop that has both TB3 and HDMI/USB-A ports.

Walk me through your implementation and I will walk you through the blockchain implementation and see the strengths and weaknesses.

You're just an internet person triggered by a question, really unpleasant attitude btw. Very closed even to considering an exotic solution and angry as if I'm implementing the blockchain at this very moment, are you in your 50s by any chance? Or maybe personal problems or no sex for a prolonged period or something like that? Why Are you acting like such an unpleasant and rude person?
What Is Property? Do We Own Our Data?
> I do not think "trained ethics experts" should fall into any equation whatsoever. There are enough of them in the middle east and deep south. We don't need them infecting the intelligent world anymore than they do already. The conversation should not be driven by an intellectual movement that is equivalent to a bunch of cavemen poking a coconut with sticks.

I'm rolling my eyes so hard. Whatever did you mean by this?

Don't give yourself too much credit, you've made no such point. You've merely called the authors morons and equated ethics and religion with cavemen.
Well, cost per engineer probably includes not only salary and stock but office space, amenities, business expenses, benefit programs, etc.

6: Go watch a few videos. He repairs macbooks -- for a living. Apple just keeps sending business his way.

Pro-tip: If you spill water on the keyboard, shut the MBP off immediately and send it in to the apple repair shop to get cleaned. If the MBP is on while there's water on the logic board, rust will form, either short circuiting chips, or rusting out the copper traces.

7: Apple used to be an amazing technology company giving the world wonderful computing devices. Today, it's a fashion accessory company. Mac OS doesn't run in the cloud. It is not the core OS that runs our infrastructure or space programs. And lastly it doesn't capture our imagination anymore. That throne has been passed to Elon Musk with Tesla, SpaceX and Hyperloop.
Oh pish posh.

I had to go into recovery mode last week because an automatic kernel upgrade broke.

You're doing that thing where you ignore the argument to refute a tiny irrelevant point of the argument.

Thats a rhetoic device for arguing without content, like the whole 'attacking the person not the argument'.

Your point is not compelling and does not refute the parent comment.
Automated Policing
Looking past the safety concerns, I personally have zero interest in vaping nicotine as an ex smoker.

A lot who have smoked and quit probably understand the pschological aspect; the constant need, the schedule, the loss of enjoyment from taking a deep breath of fresh air.. I don't want to be addicted to inhaling nicotine in any form.
I hate the 16:9 ratio and everyone uses it. It's probably cheaper since that's the same ratio as full HD which is used in many TV panels. A 1920x1200 monitor is much better than a 1920:1080 for me for coding.
yeah clearly Dr. Ng was addressing fears of AGI in that quote. Thing is that machine learning can be used for nefarious purposes, intentionally or even unintentionally, without AGI being a reality. Those are more realistic fears

the conflation of machine learning and AGI causes confusion yet again..
Email falls apart with just regular work communication. I'd say forums were a lot better at it.
The XPS line also tries to detect what to do based on usage patterns. Neat BIOS feature.
I'm really glad it's not. It's an interesting comparison for sure, but after the initial few seconds you start to realize that all auto makers are now shifting to the new propulsion technology & Tesla themselves still have a very long list of orders to fulfill.

I did learn about Lisp Machines, though, which is nice.

Hey, good suggestion to benchmark against other SOC's as well. I heard raspberry pi recently added support for external graphics card. Haven't tried yet.
Only np.dot() has intrinsic multithreading. No other functions do. Bizzarely np.dot() is the fastest way to do things other than dot product (like copy or multiply) in some cases.
I don't 'trust' them blindly, but if information gathering is necessary for such a service to exist, then I think it's better if the service is provided by a democratic agency than a private company. Nobody is forced to use it.

that is what happened in the recent fatality, tell me how that is even remotely acceptable regardless of disclaimers. I seriously doubt adaptive cruise control would do the same, the majority of them work by following other vehicles.
Human genetics in troubled times and places (2017)
Just a couple years ago we were talking about the implications of a death at the hands of a self driving car. Today we’re seeing those conversations unfold. Whether you like it or not, this is the future we’re building.

The auto industry with the self driving car will change and create new businesses. There’s a huge opportunity to get involved or create a startup in this space. It’s the next big wave of opportunity and there’s plenty of room.
Find me a 15" 16:10 or 4:3 laptop with a *nix based OS, 4 cores, and 16GB of RAM and I'll switch any day. Unfortunately, there's only one choice for all those requirements right now.
They send someone to pick it up. You don't have to get it back in the box. With most of them you get 100 days to try it out (some are up to 365 days). If you don't like it, you call them and they come and get it.
Years of extremely low interest rates does seem like a contributing factor to the demand for riskier investments that may see some inflation beating return.
> Meanwhile the other 80% kept voting for policies that were actively working against spreading the income surplus more evenly.

That would be a fair criticism, but I don't see any major party candidates advocating for wealth redistribution. Maybe if someone was allowed to offer an argument for limited socialism then we could actually vote on it and try it out.

The only semi-socialist candidate in recent memory who came close to winning the primary was railroaded through a combination of systems that favor the status quo (superdelegates), a media that alternately ignored and attacked his candidacy, and a party that actively schemed against him while nominally allowing him to run.

All this after we elected a president who ran as the "change" candidate and promised to hold big banks accountable, only to stick the taxpayers with the bailout bill, increase the scope of domestic spying programs, and implement a flawed health care scheme dreamed up by the Republicans.

I can understand why people are pissed. I can also understand why some might choose to vote for their narrow self-interest, given the state of our democracy.
Just purchased two 1440p monitors and I love doing work on them. 25" and the PPI is just perfect for me.

Anything higher resolution-wise requires a much larger display to be readable at 100% scaling. I'm adamantly against using scaling.
As another user said, I recommend http://cssgridgarden.com/ too.

Also, if you like to practice, you are welcome to improve the UI of this project: https://cryptocoinalerts.net/
I highlight the text and middle mouse button for paste.
I suspect it'd be fun to play with a hybrid approach there - use the local on-device capability to detect "scenes of interest", then ship those out to the cloud service (with significantly more horsepower) to get more accurate results. Possibly, if it works for your use case, you could detect and store "interesting looking stuff" and ship it to the cloud later for analysis if your device only has intermittent internet connection.
It also works with any app that uses the Safari View Controller - like Feedly.

If Google wanted to include their own ad blocker with Chrome they could - it is highly unlikely that they would want to.
The security issues aren't "solved" as long as the expectation is that apps run with full user privileges; that's why the AppContainer/UWP model was and is needed.
Regulation exists to prevent this kind of thing.

Your example perfectly illustrates the power of data, and the potential for revenue, negative and positive.
The problem is that most of the (substantial) work you highlight above is done by the academic community (mostly paid by the public purse), while most of the (substantial and above-market) profits go to the private publishers.
The good thing is that kids mostly use high quality vapes. For example, the Juul is cited as the most popular in the article. Other popular ones are Junos, Phixes, and Suorins. All of these have their own juices manufactured by the companies, and all these companies are pretty reputable to my knowledge. The Juul has succeeded in part because they designed their own pods that nobody else was producing, so they could guarantee high quality juices.

> If they get credit for the Arab Spring, they should get credit for this, too.

Facebook shouldn't get credit for the Arab Spring. They didn't start it, they were just one of many mediums used for its organization and dissemination.

What they and all social media get credit for is existing as a communications platform that's largely uncensored.
Yup. It's all namespaces and cgroups. The base "docker" command adds a little value with os respositories, network overlays, etc, but not a lot.

Personally, I think K8S with their cri-o (https://github.com/kubernetes-incubator/cri-o/blob/master/RE...) runtime is going to eventually eat Docker's lunch.

As a company, Docker needs Swarm/Enterprise to take off in order to have a differentiator. That isn't happening.

Kubernetes, on the other hand, just needs cri-o (mostly done) and an image repository / builder to kill off Docker.

See this for how small the gap really is: https://github.com/p8952/bocker/blob/master/README.md

Basically, Docker has almost no moat. They have mostly only brand recognition. Not discounting their efforts, but they are playing checkers and Google is playing chess.
That's always been easy enough, just a little hidden:

import signal
signal.signal(signal.SIGINT, signal.SIG_DFL)

Now it will just die on Ctrl-C. For text filter programs it's a good idea to do the same for SIGPIPE too.
> What does Linux give you that macOS doesn’t?

perf, case sensitive file systems, non stupid alt-tab behaviour, strace, pstack, gdb (these don't seem to work without sacrificing animals), gnome-shell (better than finder by a long way, imo).

I've got a mac. I don't install programs except for things through brew. It's basically shitty linux with outlook.

I haven't used these two in particular, but if they support flatpak, why not? You'd have the same packages as on the server plus the latest versions of GUI apps.

Back in the day, we used a mix of IRC+forums for community. There was nothing wrong with this back then and I imagine something similar is done by medium sized communities like EVE Online groups. Services like Slack make onboarding a lot easier than IRC too.
Drugs marketing, supplements? I'm sure there's stuff you can sell more easilly to HIV positive people.
Yes, I had a similar experience with the maintainer when trying to contribute back to tt-rss (two pull requests closed with rather rude explanations that suggested my submissions had barely been glanced at).

Still, tt-rss offers killer features for me that other options don't: self-hostable, being able to write my own scraper plugins (the big one in this discussion), and a solid Android app. So I continue to use it and just keep any code improvements to myself.
Ask HN: Common for startup winding down to not even refund stock options money?
The technology to do this is already there. Apple will likely extend some piece of open-source work or acquire a small company which specializes in emulating x86 on whatever architecture they transition to. Emulators are complicated pieces of software, but they are well understood ones. We know how to make them reasonably performant, and Apple has had around four major architecture changes under its belt from which it can draw experience.

The existence of Rosetta does not prove the transition to be 'complicated'. It just shows the transition was a thing
In my experience, having the setting doesn’t make it work. Oh, it works some of the time. In order to make it work MOST of the time, you’ll need to change it in more than one place, at least in X11. And Wayland doesn’t play nice with nvidia, yet. (Not implying who is at fault).
Honestly, it's not been that interesting to me in general. It's only interesting to me for the same reason it might be interesting to the sorts of people I enumerated --- because of the ways it can be useful to me. I don't really care about how it works, in depth; I just want it to keep my stuff private. The only difference is that I have just enough technical expertise, as a programmer, that I can see its applicability without having it explained in a sympathetic manner.
I agree that having higher PPI is great, but are you using scaling to make text larger? I was barely able to use a 28" 4k a 100%, can't imagine doing that at 24"
