PC architecture is trash, and the overall consumer market for PC hardware is a race-to-the bottom.

That being said, as PC hardware goes, MacBook Pro is at least tolerable.
Yup, but we're all running these apps on laptops, which have a fixed amount of RAM that is sometimes impossible to increase (looking at you, Apple)
Google has 80k employees. If just 10k employees have heard of some kerfuffle before it winds up on tech crunch, that's still a _lot_ of people.

But maybe the specifics of some individual disputes aren't widely known as the events are unfolding; still, lots of the stuff described did get wider airtime internally before being 'leaked'.
>As any journalist can tell you, the best answer to the question “what happened?” is not why don’t you ask a bunch of your friends what they think, organize their views along a spectrum, and then decide where to plant yourself.

Yet this is the propaganda tool de jour. The perception of public sentiment is very important in shaping peoples opinions, irrespective of the facts. A fact today might be interpreted in some way, the same fact in two years might be interpreted in a completely different manner. Perception is even more important than facts, because facts are actually just claims by authority figures. If you spread a certain sentiment that a certain authority figure is untrustworthy (or vice versa) you can "amend facts" in the minds of the electorate.

But you know what you're getting into with these pieces -- they largely exist as an outlet for opinion pieces. What I have a problem with are outlets like the NYTimes which blur the line between opinion and news.
Fair enough. What is that minimum?

The proposed minimum is always to grant the needed power to cover unlimited property rights, but not universal healthcare.
> it even got worse as time progressed which is odd.

Quite the contrary, as I stated in my other comment, we now have nuikta.
also it’s not static linked, so you need to make sure all of the shared libraries exist on the host, requiring to install a whole bunch of trash.

It's been like that on Windows since 2006 with XAML. In fact, if you squint at typical JSX, it looks like XAML.

The actual history of Android disagrees with your hypothesis.

"Chris DeSalvo, who worked alongside Andy Rubin at Danger before joining Google to build its mobile OS, says that the iPhone's announcement forced everyone on his team to realize that they 'are going to have to start over.'

Already in intensive development for two years by 2007, Android was Google's vision for a mobile operating system of the future. Still, in spite of all the work that had already gone into it, the Mountain View company was sure it couldn't carry on along the trajectory it'd been following — the earliest Android devices looked very much like Googlified BlackBerrys — and had to alter its plans to compete with the iPhone's new touch-centric interface. A book excerpt in The Atlantic cites Andy Rubin, who led the early development of Android, as saying "I guess we’re not going to ship that phone," in reference to the Sooner project Google was initially planning to reveal to the world."

To be fair, RAM is much more expensive to upgrade on MacBooks and other premium laptops.
Sorry but OSFP has at most a life of 2 generations and likely only useful for a single generation. 112G SERDES is not going to scale well and will require repeaters all over the place. Moreover doubling the signaling rate to 224 Gb/s is wholly impractical. The future is embedded devices and not legacy pluggables.
Tunneling arbitrary protocols over HTTP proxy with static IP address in Node.js
Raw high frame rate video can into that range.

Phantom v2640 for example does 6600 frames per second at a at 2048 x 1952 resolution = 26 Gpx/sec or something like 100Gbit.

Currently they simply buffer everything on Camera and use 10GigE, but in theory they could look into 100+GbE connections for newer designs.

I was also a big fan of the old support system that was accessible straight from the interface and not a third party tool. Granted the few times I had to contact support at that point I received very fast and thorough responses so this experience may have made me biased.
This is different from the package that I've tested (PyInstaller or py2exe).

Is Nuikta compatible with numpy, pickle, etc? I remember that numpy was very problematic with compilers like pypy for a long time.
The only thing I miss from my 2015 MBP is the MagSafe charger. Hardware wise, everything else now is better I think, even the touch bar which actually means there’s some utility for me in that space of the keyboard – I never used the Fn-keys and a software Esc key doesn’t bother me one bit.

Now the software though... so, many, bugs!
This claim, taken ad absurdum, is equivalent to “you can never conclude anything from prior examples because conditions are different”.

And you have, in fact, gone ad absurdum.
Playing with Gilpin's Proposal for Advection-Based Cryptographic Hashing
The downvotes for you are puzzling. At work I compile a large project in VS2017 multiple times per day, and my machine will intermittently bluescreen during the compile. Happens to a number of my coworkers as well. W10 has come a long, long way since the unstable foundations of its forebears, but my personal experience with it still includes more crashes than I can write off as flaky hardware/drivers or mere chance.
the tool has all that in it

according to it, salaries in SF are ~66% higher than Tokyo and rents are ~300% higher.
when the touchbar macs with only usb c ports came out I went to the used market and bought the best used macbook pro I could find that still had hdmi, thunderbolt and USB.

I love my macbook, but mainly I love having a *nix based operating system. Windows is starting to get it and so in the next iteration of hardware I might switch over.
> That is a really pointed indictment of our current industry. Wow.

Is it? I read it as a series of attacks from someone who thought the status quo was just fine, and doesn't actually understand the value being delivered. Since they don't understand it, there must not be any. Since there isn't any value and it just hurts vulnerable people, it must just be callous evil.

For example, Amazon's cashierless store sounds great to me! I absolutely loathe the forced smalltalk of dealing with cashiers. I adore automated checkouts.

And Amazon has been amazing for driving down prices on daily goods. I'm happy to see them expand into something like grocery stores where high prices are a problem for everyone.

Grocery store checkout jobs are not a basic human right that should be immune to attack. Neither are content producer business models.

This isn't an indictment. It's an expression of incomprehension.
The Curse of Konzo
Why not? It may happen to be curious. And every kind of DIY bio-hacking community site may happen to contain some potentially useful data. Surely it has serious chances to be dangerous but I believe the audience of HN is smart enough to separate curious from stupid, double-check the curious with relevant scientific publication and other sources and be reasonably skeptic and sufficiently careful about trying it on themselves. So... surely stuff like this should not be mentioned among kids but I can see nothing wrong in mentioning them among hackers.
The Window Manager - nothing stopping you from using XWindows.

The Finder - it's just a file manager, what's stopping you from using any other file manager?

Cocoa - is just a Framework for building Mac apps. Nothing stopping you from using another Framework

Xcode - just an IDE on top of open source build tools.

IMessage - just a messaging program. Nothing stopping you from using another messaging program.

FaceTime - just video chat, nothing stopping you from using another video chat.

So what part of the "kernel" are you trying to replace and to add what functionality?

I have a mac mini for my study desktop (use it to shell into machines to develop, watch YouTube tech videos, and listen to music with iTunes from my NAS), but every time I think about buying an MBP I remember the horror stories from watching Louis Rossmann's videos on YouTube and think "Do I really want to drop almost $2,000 on a device that is going to break down because it's more slick than it is well constructed?"
> I mean, it's the Rand Corporation. It's not like it's some fly by night 'you pay us and we'll say whatever you want' firm.

...okay? The point is that the primary reference itself shows that the study isn't relevant to this conversation at all: by its own account, it doesn't attempt to investigate the issues that we're talking about. It doesn't attempt to study the issues that make the VA a bad model for healthcare (and have since the 60s).
The problem exists elsewhere. America tracks it better than most countries.

The drug war is Jim Crow 2.0 and has failed to do anything than further degrade the economic perspective of minority populations while simultaneously costing tax payers a fortune. It’s a shameful and disgusting set of policy that needs to be terminated.

The US government pays a huge amount on healthcare. This is whether you do it by total; by GDP; per capita.

https://www.ons.gov.uk/peoplepopulationandcommunity/healthan...

If you include private insurance:

> As a percentage of GDP, the UK spent less on healthcare than USA, Japan, France and Germany and a similar percentage to Canada. The USA spent the most on healthcare as a percentage of GDP at 16.6%.

If you exclude private insurance the US still pays a lot, at about 8.2%

The US has by far the largest spend per capita, yet has average life expectancy.
I've built firefox from source. Python start up time is not really a problem, it's so long to build anything anyway.
For sure, I totally see how it's useful as a teaching tool. I don't see how it fits into a proper production system.
That depends on your tools and platforms of choice. For most open source stuff, Windows has less support than Linux and macOS because it usually requires tweaks (build tools, libs, etc).
Glad to know GraphQL clicked with you!

One of the nicest things of GraphQL is the type system indeed. You can use tools like https://www.prisma.io/, which generates a GraphQL backend based on your SQL database.
59.0.3 On Win10 (x64)
I guess it would be nice to make it run within an electron environment, without extra console and browser tabs to run it in. Just jupyter running as an electron app with maybe tabs for each notebook to give it a more native desktop app feel.
First time I hear about this, and I've looked for alternatives to cxfreeze and its cousins in the past.

Any time I see something like this, I feel like I'm hearing about some homeopathic cancer cure. If Nuitka actually does what it says it does, it's solving a big recurrent problem for the Python community, so why is nobody talking about it?
I've definitely seen significant improvements with #2. Unfortunately, it's not very Pythonic to tuck your imports into functions (or under conditionals). It would be nice if imports were more lazily evaluated.

Weird. I have 59.0.3 on Win also.

Doesn't taking hormones damage the glands that produce them endogenously?
Personally I found Go almost uniquely UNsuited to Python-style explorative programming. The lack of generics, and the high-ceremony error handling are pretty much 180 degrees from python.

While of course it doesn't have backing from a giant multi-nation, I think Nim (https://nim-lang.org/) is a much better fit for "python, but fast".

Their old Nodejs system. Java GC tuning is more robust and well understood. So I'm wondering if it was truly a case of "Java GC is going to be a nightmare, let's take on a very early stage language with lots of unknown risks instead." Or if perhaps there's some champing at the bit to adopt a hot new language for its own sake.

FWIW, I'm excited for Rust and also Swift for exactly these reasons. I just want to see hard justifications for using them in production this early.
If I can't (reliably) handle 100GBps coming from the RAID array it sounds like I'm not going to be able to handle 400GBps coming in from the NIC.

So these really are just for interconnects for the time being, until server hardware gets faster.
This is super cool. Are there any demonstrations comparing performance between electron and your app?
Check out packet.net if you haven’t already, they offer that and some other networking features you don’t see typically from VPS providers.
The OECD reports numbers that include public expenditures. I'm not sure where I'd even look to find the precise methodology, but at some point you have to trust that the experts know what they're doing and are reasonably impartial. And sure, Sweden's overall tax rate is probably a lot higher, but they are providing a lot more services than the US government with that money beyond just healthcare. So the choice probably isn't between ~30% tax rate with private healthcare[2] and ~60% tax rate with public healthcare; even if the full ~$10,000 health care expenditures per capita were spent on taxes instead, that's only about a 17 percentage point increase on the per capita income of $60k.

Fitting an entire function on the screen is useful compared to just a fraction of a function. (However, if you can only see a fraction of a function, the problem is with the function, not with your screen.) Having a hundred functions in view at once (full definitions) is way, way past the point of diminishing returns. And we have folding editors so you can see function headers: names and arguments.

By the way, a 10x20 window: isn't that like a wasteland of wast proportions to an APL programmer?

I really like jupyter and I am looking forward to jupyter lab and where it takes computing.

It is really great for solving one off problems or learning.

The jupyter code itself while verbose is pretty extensible also. I just put together something that lets me connect to my spark kubernetes pod.

I think being able to customize jupyter and add new kernels (languages) is where it becomes really powerful and awesome.
Yes I have and in the latest release which I'm working on, I've included features trying with the goal of fully complying with this tool.

Clearly it's impossible to detect agitprop with 100% accuracy. But I think they could eliminate 80% of the bad stuff with straightforward filtering. HN eliminates the great majority of the agitprop and outrage porn submitted with very simple heuristics. Human flagging eliminates most of the rest, though sometimes too late.

Eliminating 80% would improve the world's psyche considerably.

for long reach, yes, but not for ISP-to-ISP interconnection... the cost of coherent (QPSK, 8PSK, 16QAM) 100G SerDes and modulation/demodulation is considerably higher and only justified if going a great many km. For intra-peering-facility connections I don't see coherent 100G (or multiples of coherent 100G bundled by CWDM into 200G, 400G interfaces) becoming the norm anytime soon.

No, you can’t “skip” them. If you skip them, the code is broken. The lines may well be noise, and arguably that’s even worse, but you certainly can’t skip them – counting or otherwise.

I am still not convinced. I had Windows CE pocket computer in 1998 and several others after. They all start up just like an iPhone with a grid of icons to tap on. The only thing missing from them vs iPhone for me at the time was a good data connection. They didn't exist except for more than I was willing to pay.

I'm not saying the iPhone wasn't amazingly better in execution and had great design. What I'm rather saying is if Apple hadn't released when they did with in a year or two the existing PDAs would have gotten cellular added and it would have been far clearer to everyone the progression was from PDA -> iPhone, an incremental step, rather than the more common mis-conception of feature phone -> iPhone that everyone mis-interprets as coming out of nowhere. There's a long history of PDAs before iPhone and if you take any one of them the jump to iPhone is not nearly as big a jump as people make out.

The iPhone did no "outrun" them. They weren't even in the same race. When the iPhone came out Google did a massive overhaul of android in order to emulate the iPhone. Prior to that android was meant to look like blackberry.
> Don't do that. Either write the driving app in Python

Even if you write the driver in Python, you don't necessarily want to call the program you're testing in the same process. You might want independent launches of a command-line tool, so that you test the same behavior people get when they run the tool. Otherwise, your test suite might trip over some internal state that gets preserved from run to run in ways that command-line invocation wouldn't.

LG Proda had a capactive touchscreen, but it failed to use it. You simply pressed virtual buttons instead of using gestures. Pinch to zoom might not seem like a big deal but it's something that iPhone got right and everyone copied.

Another issue is LG Proda stuck with J2ME instead of offering native apps.

So, the Proda was close, but it really missed the mark. IMO, the fact it took 4 years to after the hardware was possible before the iPHone showed up shows how significant the innovation actually was.

not true. I’ve written a couple personal apps that sync with health kit data collected from my Apple Watch and nutrition apps to help me track things in a way that is useful for my fitness goals. In 2016-2027 I used these apps to put on 30 lbs and stay relatively lean but I’ve never wanted to publish them in the app store. I don’t pay for any developer program. Just need to download some (free) developer tools / SDK for XCode, build the source, and put it on my phone. The install is tethered, but afterwards it stays there until I delete it. Restarting the phone doesn’t delete the app either. Only time I needed to re-install was when my 5s crapped out and I had to get a new phone.

Personal Blocklist (made by Google) is nice, as you can exclude many domains from search results.
I'd support the notion entirely though. There are so many Enterprise Java jobs that have the 5 years of experience qualifier that it's a significant impediment for a self-taught.

I ended up seeing both sides of this - I taught myself PHP and MySQL for a project I worked on for 3 years of college in my spare time...while I was learning Java and going through the CS program.

When I came out, oddly enough I ended up getting a PHP job despite spending a lot of time "wanting" a Java job. Definitely got to experience both sides of that coin.
