I don't understand the hostility to this application. Progress comes from trying different ways to do things. I tried this program a few years back, and thought it was ok. It is easier to use than JMP, which some others have mentioned, though not as powerful.

There is nothing about easy-to-use that precludes understanding, and certainly nothing about difficult-to-use that promotes it. They are largely orthogonal. Using R doesn't make you a statistician, any more than using C++ makes you a software engineer. If anything, a simple interface can reduce the number of ways you can shoot yourself, and leaves more time to focus on the problem.

Being easy-to-use may be the difference between some analysis and no analysis, or at best, analysis by spreadsheet.

And finally, this is Hacker News. The author wrote this software and makes some money off it. Great. Isn't that what this place is all about?
Latest Thinkpad Carbon X1 with extra warranty? It hovers around your budget max, well within if you can recover VAT
I use my own domain, but still use Google for my email service.

I've had fleeting thoughts of moving away, but am pretty used to the Google's spam filtering, labelling, search, and not having to care about space or managing my own kit.

Are you DIY'ing everything?
Is this the same thing as the terms open-world vs closed-world soundness the article uses? I.e the API is sound but it uses unsafe on the inside? I've never heard those terms before.
X1 Carbon is quite nice.

I'm not sure if it has the performance you want. You should check out the specs. If the specs are good enough, give the machine a try. It's amazing.
I think we should now be at a point where we realize that people won't give up these benefits to their lives "for the greater good".
Convincing people to go green as a business model would be a huge failure - nobody would pay to get convinced to stop doing something convenient.
Lots of people love the Lenovo X220, which can be upgraded with simple screwdrivers to the latest and greatest processors and motherboards using fan-made motherboards.

(That’s how popular they are, fans are making newer motherboards for them. I don’t know the experience, I’m using a very old Toughbook to devel since my needs aren’t great.)

What’s with the hinges? I’ve never had one fail. Granted, I’m no road warrior.
There is a video link at the very bottom of the page. It'll take some hazard to fall onto it. I'm not going to download a program and figure out how to use it.

Why not have the video at the top. Maybe pop right on my face. Actually, these are moments when I'd not mind a popup that takes focus out of a page.
Yes, having upgraded from one I fully regret this decision, mostly because of the keyboard and the £2000 after trade in. I’m actually a big fan of USB-C, it’s much better.
When I read the book, I thought that too. However, Clarke's book is separate from Kubrick's movie. Kubrick focused a lot of things in the movie that were ignored in the book. Essentially, Kubrick and Clarke have two different interpretations. That's why I was asking the question. For example,

* The number 4 and 3 keep appearing in the movie.
* Lots of 90-degree angles in the movie compared to the book.
* Why everyone is cold and sterile as the move away from Earth.
* Rectangles and circles. HAL is a black rectangle and a red circle. The monolith is a black rectangular object.
* Kubrick excited at making the biggest "religious" movie.
* The original cut of the movie had the scene of the broken wine glass jerk/skip, giving the impression Bowman had realized he was in an artificial environment created by others.
* The appearance of diamond shapes in the movie and his other movies, The Shining and Full Metal Jacket: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MSo6s_xrj4c

Yeah there are great alternatives to a macbook. Look at Dell XPS for example, install linux on it if you're like me and don't like windows.
I'd recommend some screenshots or the video before you get to pricing.

Some of the graphics need to be improved. It would also be great to see why this is better than tradition BI tools (Tableau etc) and what your unique value proposition is.
i am using HP pavilion. its quad core, comes with 8gb expandable to 16GB, no ssd (which is pain), full HD display matte (which is something i like compared to glossy), backlit keyboard and windows10. this is my replacement for my macbook pro 2011. so far pretty good to me. i havent tried linux. https://www.notebookcheck.net/HP-Pavilion-15-Power-i7-7700HQ...
I can see a 1.000 ways I can use this app. R is cool and stuff but it is very hard to get any chart if you don't know the language. And it might take a while to write down any code.

This is much simpler. You just input the data and it gives you charts right away.
Thinkpad X-Series, great Linux support

(I'm using X-250 still, going strong and onsite warranty is amazing)
Whilst angioplasty or clot retrieval is the optimal treatment (have not seen evidence for clot retrieval for strokes in longer timeframes but will be interested to jump into some research tomorrow) in countries where there are enormous distances between tertiary referral centres (ie Australia) thrombolytic agents are still strongly used.

Our ambulances are equipped with r-tPA or similar (there is a tendency to avoid streptokinase as rural/indigenous populations have high exposure to streptococcus/hx rheumatic fever and therefore high risk of added complications) and in the event of STEMIs can be administered en route to ED. Similarly many peripheral sites will administer tenecteplase or similar in Emergency Departments as there are almost no sites that are set up to perform out-of-hours angioplasty once you are out of the major cities; even less chance for neuro-radiological intervention, I think there are only 6 or 7 sites in the country and they are all in major cities.

If his research does bear fruit, I could see it immediately becoming the standard of care in Australia outside of major centres
I use a 13" ThinkPad X250 when I'm not at my desk and I've been pretty impressed by it. I picked it up second-hand for <£600 and its performance is solid, and with good battery life (and hinges)! My only gripe is that the screen suffers from impermanent burn-in. I work mostly on Ruby and Rust projects, with quite a lot of containers.

I'm not sure what the newer and bigger models are like, however, so maybe someone else would have more experience there.

The other guys at work have all opted for XPS 13" machines. They haven't arrived yet, but I'm curious as to what they'll be like.
In this particular case, they will probably need local curators everywhere not just because of language but also because of what is considered safe for kids given the culture. So yes, it will probably take some time but I think that is understandable. After all, what's stopping someone in your (or my) country from making such a service themselves, even using Youtubes content?
There is no lock-in, developers can migrate in and out, and you choose the view layer, the backend is build on node, third party packages are from NPM and the DB is MongoDB. The data layer can be DDP or Apollo.

Of course if you use all the aspects unique to the stack (reactivity, accounts, blaze, pub/sub etc.) then you'll to re-implement those when switching, but then again that's an architecture choice, you can choose to ignore those and just use Meteor as a build tool.
Or add a large tax to flying that pays for the development of green solutions.
Why AI Needs Big Data
Having unions be condition for employment is the cause of issues. People need free choice whether they want to be part of a union and which union they will support.
I suggest looking into the Dell XPS line (both 13 or 15 models, depending on your screen size tastes). I own a 2015 Dell XPS 13 and Linux support is amazing (long battery life, the laptop does not overheat and everything works out of the box on Ubuntu). The only weak spot is the webcam location in the lower part of the screen.

Another good alternative could be the Thinkpad Carbon X line, but I don't have any direct experience.

At work I use a mid-2015 Macbook Pro, if you stick to MacOs it's a very good machine. I also have an Ubuntu 17.10 partition on this machine that I use as main daily driver, but there are a few catches with this particular model (slight overheating, battery life is good but not great, I had to manually install drivers for backlight control and webcam).
Seems like Applescript.
There are usually some red flags:

- the language used during the sales process points to an employee-employer type relationship

- conditions like full-time and having to work at the client's office all the time

- the sales process itself is treated more like an interview process (you have to provide documents like a CV first etc.)

If you encounter these or other aspects that feel off: Walk away.

If the contract stipulates you be at their office from 9 to 5: Walk away

If the contract doesn't say anything about this but the client still tries to enforce such rules: Point to the contract and if the client still insists, again walk away.

If this sounds overly harsh or opinionated please keep in mind as a contractor / consultant you're running a business and an essential part of running a business is establishing long-term, trustworthy relationships. You can only do this by agreeing upon and adhering to clear conditions of how you do business.
They have been around so long you could likely get an Apple refurbished one for a few hundred less than new.
BlackBerry was first to (mass-)market with many of these features, and validated that customers wanted them and would use them. You would assume that a startup-oriented community would understand that that’s often the hard part, and that many good ideas are obvious in retrospect.

BlackBerry blundered e.g. by not opening up BBM earlier, but that wasn’t a failure of the technology nor the product-market fit.

Who do you trust to decide what your kid should be able to see?

Human editorial is certainly better than algorithm editorial, and YouTube Kids was a nightmare so I'm not complaining, but I'm sure the value judgements of a lot of respectable YouTube employees are very different to mine.

Are Christian and Islamic and Scientologist morality tales all acceptable or not? What about science and engineering videos with high safety requirements, or even history?
Heart of Darkness/Apocalypse Now also has a pretty remarkable adaptation in video game format called Spec Ops: The Line. It's the same story premise cast as a modern military shooter. The gameplay is a fairly generic (some say this is an intentional statement on the drudgery of video game violence but I'm not so sure) but the story is excellent and there are lots of audible and visual details that show the gradual descent into madness of the main character and his teammates -- your voice lines go from professional callouts to angry emotional outbursts, "Hunt him down!", "Got the fucker!" etc.

If you want Linux, Dell XPS and Thinkpads have the best out of the box support, you shouldn't have issues with them, but you should probably get the last gen to be on the safe side.

MBP with good performance around 2000$ leaves only the 2015 15" model i guess, that is still a very capable machine though and Apple still sells it.

One thing to note is, that Intels new CPU generation enables 6/12 Cores/Threads for machines that previously had 4/8 and 4/8 for those that had 2/4 before. They are already in the latest Dells and should come to MBPs this year, but you'd have to wait a couple of years until they come down to 2k$

Ya, the difference is that in your 1MLOC code base you only have to review 10k lines with a microscope instead of every single one, the rest you can more or less trust to not do any funny business (with regards to memory).
The article seemed to me a zero information fluff piece for a researcher. Your comment does a much better job of explaining their work than the author of the article.
> When you're seeing elevated request volume, it's likely that there's something substantial worth requesting

Or you're seeing persons trying to frustrate the system with senseless requests. This happens with businesses all the time when they provide courtesy services (sprint's tty service for example was a regular tool for prank calls, USPS and their free boxes resulted in people being flooded with box orders)

I'm 100% for transparency, but it's not a magic bullet. There is a real and non trivial cost for such transparency and it's the price we have to pay for diligence. often, societies seem unwilling to pay and instead demand that an organization do everything they used to and more with no additional resources, and transparency, especially for organizatikns without the resources to have digitized things,means a lot of human input and work.
070: Not the Postmortem We Wanted to Run
You are probably priced out of the MacbookPro. I also need to make that decision (mine is from 2014) and a high spec macbook pro will cost in the tune of 3.200usd for a non-taxed jurisdiction (ie: HongKong or Airport Tax Refund)

If you are willing to put that money, I'd recommend you wait a bit to see the release of the new mac, the prices and the specs.

Otherwise, you'll have to start shopping on other brands and move to Linux.
>The sequel does the same at the end, isn't it? Father and daughter are reunited, and K finds meaning in the struggle.

I should have said 'escape' rather than 'meaning'. In the original Deckard and Rachael escape the dystopia. In the sequel it feels like there's no escape from the confines of the film. Even the daughter is still in her cage at the end.
Not really. There are actual deaths on the ground with desperately hungry people being denied benefits due to the bio-metric authentication systems flaking out. So much so that the CEO of the agency managing this system himself has an authentication failure rate of around 19%. Thankfully he doesn't need the ration to survive.

At the moment I think there are a few bugs with Linux support on the XPS 15 but they shouldn't last long. A friend of mine was having quite a lot of trackpad issues that don't appear to affect the 13" model.

Thinkpad X230 here, IPS version, used ones are laughably cheap (Central/Eastern Europe).

Battery, ram (two slots), keyboard, hdd are very easy to replace, everything works perfectly with linux (except bluetooth, but that's always problematic).

On the downside the speaker and the touchpad are crap, so it's your call. I got a Macbook Air in case I gotta work on a project where osx is a must, but fortunately I haven't touched that fancy paper weight for two years now.
name.com - they offer consistent discounts for those of us with numerous domains and their control interface isn't as frustrating as the one at namecheap.
Did they ever fix the sleep issue? That was a dealbreaker for me last year.
Thinkpads are robust, reliable and have good Linux support.

You have 80 years before you become dirt.

And your solution is to see less of the world.

Since you believe in it, I guess it might convince a few people. But before I become nothing I want to travel as much as I can, be it two days at a time or two years at a time.

Not true at all. All the 'unsafe' keyword does is allow a bunch of code constructs which are not allowed outside unsafe blocks. You can just as well limit your attention to that subset of constructs in your C++ code. You can't do it by grepping for 'unsafe', but you could do it using a C++ parser.
These should get you started.

Maybe someone has been hiking out there to maintain the creek, but that's some serious middle-of-nowhere territory, so I doubt it. Also, it's depicted as a big flat marsh on the USGS 7.5' maps, so I imagine it doesn't experience much erosion.
just to clarify: not lose data in the hardware sense, but in the cognitive one.

Now that you mention it on my X230, IPS panel, impermanent burn in is visible too, mostly with gray or dark wallpapers. I got used to it during the years though.
I have been using ASUS Zenbook UX301L + Ubuntu for 3 years now, and I'm pretty happy with it.

Having said that, I think the system requirements of a 2018 developer are quite different than a 2012 developer.
Today you can accomplish vast majority of development tasks on a remote instance on the cloud. I haven't compiled or ran a program locally for ages (except for a browser/terminal/spotify/etc).

I have a cheap EC2 instance that I use for coding and those sorts of things, when I need to run some more data intensive jobs (e.g. compilation, data crunching, etc) I just launch some more robust instances to take care of that for me.

Therefore, in my opinion, a proper setup of a cloud environment that autoscales with respect to your needs is much more cost effective than a powerful laptop.
The stat that really woke me up to how popular travel was when an aviation magazine once posted that at any second of any day, there are at least one million people flying in an airplane somewhere.

That's an entire good sized city full of people who are not in contact with the ground at any point in time you care to pick. And that article was quite a few years old, I wouldn't be surprised if that number has increased significantly lately.

That should bring some perspective to the environmental impact of transporting that many people around the globe.
Tell that to a therapist.
That's a strange mis-parse since the rule is that pronouns refer to their closest reasonable antecedent (in this case 'car' is closest to 'it').

I used to use + for that purpose and was always pretty annoyed when a website wouldn’t accept it. I’ve since dropped gmail for fastmail though so now I use sitename@sites.mydomain for all website registrations. No site ever rejects it and it works great for knowing where spam comes from, although I’ve had some funny phone calls where people were baffled that my email address starts with their website name.
I have owned a MacBook Pro for many years (I think it was a late 2012 model as well) given by my employer in which I always run Linux in it. I was disgusted with the hardware support on Linux (especially on Wifi/Bluetooth) so I got a new XPS 15 inch (again from my employer), specifically the 9550 (from 2016), the non-touch screen (with FHD resolution). I can tell you that it runs Ubuntu very smoothly and has great battery life etc and I really like this laptop.

But to be honest Dell comes nowhere close with Apple regarding quality of build. Although I truly believe the XPS is probably the best bet for a developer that wants Linux, it's probably like that because if I put everything in the basket (slimness, battery life, speed, hardware, linux support etc), there isn't any other better option outhere. I wish Dell was building better laptops but it isn't.

Im very sorry that reality dared to impose itself on your daily life. Im hope you can save some animals, while buying products and living a lifestyle that happily sacrifices a hundred human lifes in the course of yours.
Im sure, its a nice moral placebo to ingest. But to me, this twisted obsession with animals, is just another psychosis caused by modern society.
Because animals are easy to controll, they cant protest your antromorphizing.
I had the pleasure to meet several dogs, who when given the chance would rather spend there time in the wild, then beeing together with a "loving" controll-obsessed sociopath of a owner.

I deeply reject your sick obsessions and the cult you build around it. Mass, might and emotions do not make you right.
