This depends more on the hardware these days. Most drives, CPUs, etc work just fine without configuration. Wifi drivers are pretty good these days. Maybe you'll hit a snag with those if you're really unlucky.

The bad part is still GPUs. Even then, they're usually much better than 10 years ago. AMD GPUs have better drivers than Nvidia, in general. Older GPUs are better supported in general.

Personally, I'm happily using Intel integrated for everything I do. But even then, even as much as I think Linux is the best choice of my available options, there are flaws as with any other OS. Regarding the Iris Pro, the mesa driver stack had a bug (related to srgb) introduced in August of last year which was only fixed this month and caused several OpenGL applications to fail to run.

I think the Linux experience is still the best for development, and I've used the other two major OSs both extensively.

As for practical advice, Manjaro is a great match between rolling release and well-tested packages.

>You can display ads, just not personalized ones

Well, it's 2018, and most publishers rely on some 3rd party ad-tech to serve the ads. They don't have direct contracts with advertisers, and definitely has no tech in house. If 3rd party calls are prohibited, their ad revenue disappears overnight.

Will be interesting to see how it develops.
I think part of what I adore most about GDPR is how it gives me, as a user, control over how corporations are storing my data in their database.

I don't necessarily have any expectation of privacy. A lot of it is public data (my email for example). But maybe I just don't want my email to be in a particular database and be used every which way, because I never consented to that particular corporation using my personal data as part of their business strategy.

I'm not just talking about "I signed up to Facebook". I'm talking about "I explicitly didn't sign up to facebook, and yet their Like button is tracking me across the web".

It's also things like the right to rectify that I appreciate a lot. Less so on startups, who nowadays have a clue how to do simple user profile forms, and more so for, once again, big corporations who have decided that real names never change, even if the CSR who signed you up over the phone completely misspelled it.

I don't think GDPR is as much about privacy as it is about control.
I like it. I feel it's about the right size and the texture/precision is good. It's a bit smaller than my 2014 rMBP which I thought was fine too.

On the other hand, the new MBPs have these comically massive trackpads which also scared me away. Less room to rest your palm, lots of accidental clicks, etc.

Overall, I don't think about it which probably means it's good. There's also the optional trackpoint/nub. I use it occasionally for fun, but I'm not a fanatic about it yet. Nice to know it's there, I guess? Might be handy for some kinds of games on the go.
Under Wayland with fractional scaling enabled you get per monitor DPI scaling. It works, but has issues when you detach the external monitor / undock.
This is cool. Where did you learn this?
AP is slower because high school students take 7 courses/semester and college students take 4. If you take 7 year-long AP courses, the full courseload is about the same. Also, colleges often have 1 and 2 semester versions of the same material, to suit varying student needs.
Not familiar with Nikon but it sounds like this is the custom settings mode. This exist in the Canon world as Custom shooting mode. My very old 40D has C1/C2/C3 which are exactly for this. I agree theyre extremely useful as I stay on these mode 90%+ of the time.

I'm also a big fan of index cards for planning. I just took another first-time entrepreneur through a planning session and it went very well. My starting advice here:

http://williampietri.com/writing/2014/simple-planning-for-st...

And here's how we used them to run a startup for ~2 years:

http://williampietri.com/writing/2015/the-big-board/

You're not alone in being bothered by finality. If I sense any of that, one of the first things I have people do is test their pen on a card. Then I have them tear up that card. Then, later, I'll have them write an obviously too-big planning item, like "world domination". We then tear that up and break it down into smaller cards.

With a little practice, people quickly learn that cards are temporary, just tokens that represent conversations. And they also learn that reorganizing their thoughts is good and beneficial, a sign of progress. And personally, I think it way, way easier to reorganize a stack of index cards than anything in a computer.

One of the especially interesting things to me is that computers do make certain things easier, but they're often things that I'm reluctant to make easier. E.g., computers can store effectively infinite amounts of stuff. I once saw a ~10-person team with a bug database that had thousands of open items. A database like that is way worse than index cards. It was just a big soup of sadness; people struggled to find ways to stay focused on what really mattered. Eventually a new product manager had to declare ticket bankruptcy and start fresh.

With index cards, requiring manual manipulation and physical space forces people to be more practical, more reasonable, more aware of what's going on. We can only keep so many things in mind, and we can really work on a much smaller number of things than that. Matching those human limits to physical limits in planning tools can produce much better results.
> Performance of the computer is quite important for me. I'm an Android developer, compilation of a big project I'm working on takes enormous amount of RAM and CPU nowadays (with new Android Studio it's even worse).

Why not get a stationary as your compilation / unit test server and a smaller, cheaper, more nimble laptop for out and about?
+1, I have absolutely zero confidence in Zuckerberg and Sandberg. The board should ask them to resign and appoint new people (obviously the most extreme ask from this scenario).

I think the included warranty varies by country. Some countries have required minimums for warranties. In Canada, it comes with a 1-year warranty. The 4 year I bought was a depot warranty (aka take it to the nearest certified repair center or mail it in). The premium "we'll come fix it" warranty does exist but it's like 50-80% more expensive I think. I didn't feel the need for it.

In fact, I probably wouldn't have gotten the extended warranty at all if it wasn't so cheap. I feel comfortable with the build quality of the device that I'd risk it and possibly do repairs myself.
No, she and my dad just did their own research online and gave it a try. Seems to have worked out really well for her. Her goiter shrank and she had to reduce her thyroid meds.

Low dose doxycycline seems who tolerated, and has an interesting side effect of reducing inflammation to near zero in the body (CRP levels of actually zero). Given the role of inflammation in heart disease, that might be helpful for longevity too.

There's actually a drug, periostat that's prescribed in this way for oral health. It's 20mg doxycycline taken daily long term. There are studies on it available online.

There's a very clear distinction: GDPR requires that consent is not a precondition for offering a service.

Most cookie policies in practice are all or nothing: you either accept and continue, or you decline and cannot use the service/website. That is not allowed under GDPR.
>There are ways to make money online without ads begging you to click on them, and they involve real-world goods and services that your website can help connect people for?

Not every website is in a position to sell something directly. That's how ads work in the first place.

I run a collaborative writing forum that is predominantly used by teens. I make so little money off it that I'm running it as a charity because forums like it were a valuable part of my youth. And there's very little I can do to make money from my userbase these days, though it used to make a couple thousand bucks per month and got me through uni.

People on HN and the like love to scoff and go "if you can't make money, then you don't deserve to exist" which is awfully short sighted. Like the only consequence they can think of as they Mr Burns their hands together is The Verge, operated by a billion dollar company, shutting down.

Ads service the middle of the bellcurve of sites that aren't 100% charity but also not in a position to peddle you merchandise. The internet is going to lose out if society doesn't find an alternative. Just more centralization.

I'll add a hardware rec to the Win10/WSL stack: the Microsoft Surface Book 2.

The keyboard is great, screen is beautiful, battery life is great. It even has a magnetic power connector similar to the old MBPs. I don't use it as a tablet much, but I do use the touch screen a fair amount.

It wasn't cheap, but neither is a MBP.
If you outside the EU, it really isn’t about “anyone coming after you”. Even within the EU the enforcement actions currently err of the side of a stern warning rather than fine (except in the most deliberate cases). Though that may change.

Either way, you shouldn’t be doing it out of fear. You should be complying for practical business reason

1. This is how you should be treating personal data.
2. In exchange for complying with GDPR, you get access to a market of >700m people. If you’re a service provider, it’s illegal for any EU business to be your customer without GDPR compliance.
I'm wondering what's the opportunity cost that you paid by having Cal State on your CV instead of a top-ranked university. I sometimes see people who went to MIT or Stanford that I feel would not have gotten nearly as far as they have if it were Cal State. How many of your colleagues are from top universities?
How what you design seals the fate
I don't necessarily buy this story because the facts don't really add up and there is no real evidence that this occurred.

The source of the story is described to be one of Mark's friends "Here's how Mark described his hack to a friend" and not the journalists "We reached out to Tim McGinn and Elisabeth Theodore for comment. Both declined to comment.". Given the evidence is based on a verbal account to a friend there is a slim probability that Mark made the story up.

It also seems odd that the details of the hack are laid out so precisely. It is stated that he found the passwords to exactly two email accounts, one of which belonged to Tim McGinn given that "In one account he accessed, Mark saw an email from Crimson writer Tim McGinn to Cameron, Tyler, and Divya.". Mark looked for "members of the site who identified themselves as members of the Crimson" but it would have been easier to find the specific people involved instead. And why use failed login attempts if you have access to actual user passwords. I can't think of any reason why you'd log failed passwords but not real ones (except for maliciously stealing passwords).

Finally, how did the email from Elisabeth Theodore to Tim McGinn become public given neither commented on the story. From other parts of the story, it seems likely that Tim McGinn was a source (who else would have known about Mark getting upset with Tim on the phone). So it seems that Tim gave the email to Business Insider however Business Insider does not explicitly state that. This suggests that neither they nor Tim have any real evidence that this "hacking" actually occurred.

You don't even have to digitise the information, if you were to store your business cards in a structured filing system they would be under the GDPR too [1]

Maybe the next version of GDPR will tighten the screws and take it all the way to the end user. You install some app and share your contacts with it? Pony up 10% of your annual income. You forgot your phone in a cab? That is putting everyone who has ever emailed you at risk. 15% of your annual income as fine for your carelessness. Would you still support it?

Such sweeping laws require a lot of thought and debate. It is unfair to say, “hey they had 2yrs so it is their problem”. We need to do better than, “must abide by law” and push for just and fair laws.
holy shit, they are inside the planet??!??
Functioning system doesn't imply success. You believe you can reach success by adopting certain techniques for solving problems. Doesn't mean they are net positive for it though.

This week there was an event at the UFC where on of their biggest fighters (Conor McGregor) and a dozen or so of his associates attacked a bus, smashed windows and injured several people in the bus who then couldn't fight at the event. He posted 50k bail and is now on the way home to Ireland.

The history of Nikon vs. Canon reminds me of the following stories.

* In the "System Compatibility" section, this talks about how Canon threw out backward compatibility in 1987 (to the chagrin of existing customers), but gained an all-electronic lens mount that eased future expansion and achieved better compatibility in the long run: https://kenrockwell.com/tech/nikon-vs-canon.htm#comp

* In the "Introduction" section, this talks about how autofocus was superior on the early Canon products than the early Nikon products: https://kenrockwell.com/tech/nikon-vs-canon.htm

* Nikon's insanely complicated matrix of body-lens compatibility: https://kenrockwell.com/nikon/compatibility-lens.htm . Whereas on Canon, simply "if it fits, it works".

I went to an ayurvedic doctor (in India, my friend insisted) and he said the exact same thing. He even said all allergy problems arise because of issuees in the digestive tract. At the time I thought he was just saying it but who knows there might be some truth in what he said.
I think the question is, "effective for what?"

Index cards are incredibly flexible. Anybody who has made it through elementary school can use simple office supplies to construct rich, elaborate systems to support particular workflows.

For software to come as close in utility requires a trained professional to put in a fair bit of labor, and that is done in large part by closing off possibility. Trello, a very good product, has tried to stay a pretty generic card-like tool. But it's mediocre for kanban workflows, and downright terrible for a flashcard deck or a recipe collection or quickly jotting a shopping list that you hand to your partner.

As an aside, getting words on the card faster is often a negative. As others mention, hand-writing something aids memory. It also makes me choose my words more carefully, and write less. I find writing less to be especially valuable during software planning, in that I see cards as tokens for conversation. The more people can write, the more they try to turn them into mini-specs, which shifts them away from collaboration and back toward waterfall-ish isolation.
You could laminate some index cards; that might work.
Stalker is interesting in that Tarkovsky originally used the Strugatskys' screenplay, but went back and changed it.

Tarkovsky had become increasingly disillusioned about the whole project as he entered into production — he had fights with his cinematographer and had doubts about the story. At one point, they had filmed 6 months of material when they discovered the film negatives were unusable, for reasons nobody has been able to figure out (they used Kodak stock imported from the US, which Soviet labs were unfamiliar with, and it may have been out of date; Tarkovsky himself suspected it was sabotage). As a result, the project went into hiatus while Tarkovsky considered his next steps and sought new funding from the Soviet film board to reshoot. It was actually Arkady Strugatsky, after many discussions and drafts, who suggested a compromise, where most of the sci-fi elements would be stripped from the film, and he encouraged Tarkovsky to build up the screenplay again based on his own ideas.

It's fascinating to think what Stalker might have been, if Tarkovsky hadn't deviated from the original script. Roadside Picnic is certainly a novel that could work as a film or miniseries. (WGN considered producing a TV show based on Roadside Picnic last year, with Matthew Goode as the lead, but the pilot was rejected.)
Absolutely, the EU is willing to conduct this experiment, you may as well wait and see what the results are.

As far as I can see the companies targeted will do their upmost to avoid any impact on their bottom line so its quite likely they will discover plenty of holes in the legislation.
