I think Apple do plan to rewrite some or large part of macOS. The problem is they surely want to do it in Swift, but Swift is no where near ready or stable enough for that use. Swift 5 were suppose to get ABI stability, may be that will be announced in WWDC.
Hydrocodone is comparatively weak, and as it’s a codeine derivative it’s at the mercy of your particular genes and how they express CYP2D6 — my girlfriend is a terrible metaboliser of it, and so a lot of narcotics don’t work very well for her. It’s fascinating stuff.

Edit: also, you really can’t get the same euphoria from THC. Similar, sure, but not the same — THC doesn’t build life destroying addiction though, so definitely recommend instead!
2: can you source that please? Only time I ever heard of that was when people thought the bit about a movie coming out was an ad. They said it wasn't a paid thing and was given to people that they thought would enjoy the movie. Personally that's what I want to hear when I ask my home about my day. A reminder that a movie I am interested in is coming out today? Thanks for the reminder!

3: if your referring to the mini that a journalist got and found to be constantly recording small snippets of audio, I thought Google handled that really well. They had someone at his house to collect it the same day I think, and within days disabled the feature across the board even though only a small number of devices had the flaw.

You're contrasting the people whose forefathers built the country, with the people who came later, after it was already built and there was no risk to be taken.

How much risk is an immigrant really taking on, when there is a safety net in terms of social services available to them, that pays multiples of their yearly earnings back in "the old country"?

Meanwhile, the native-born Americans have too much assets (even if in a crappy location, it still disqualifies them) to qualify for that same assistance...
Congrats to the Google team. Well deserved.
What did you use to sort these 10 million lines?
Here’s where it is their fault. I quit my job, moved to Florida. I figured my wife and I could get a high deductible plan like my former employer provided, and save $100/month into our new HSA all for $400. We had a plan picked out from Florida Blue. Then, bam! I couldn’t get that plan anymore. Federal regulators required baseline features that moved that plan to, and I shit you not, $730. That’s more than my mortgage. So we used my wife’s company plan. No HSA. No asset accumulation. Just pure cost. Her doctor, same as mine, is not in network and does not take insurance. So that’s $1,500 a year that doesn’t go to the yearly 12k deductible.
Not really. To access the Internet you either need to use global addresses or you need "illegal" NAT66. And consumer ISPs are definitely giving people global IPv6 addresses by default.
The cost of creating and upholding a cartel is not zero at all. It can actually be quite high.

> You haven't been able to use a modem on a phone line in fifteen years.

I was using a dialup modem in 2013. There are also a bunch of dialup ISPs that still exist today and provide service over phone lines to people with dialup modems. Maybe what you say is true in some areas but it certainly is false as a blanket statement.
I am on a completely different end of the spectrum (embedded devices) - How would I go about learning the capabilities of modern servers?
Most people who think they have big data don't.
All of this has been tried before with folks trying to funnel profits into charities. The IRS is going to say "no, we're considering these entities to be a single entity" and they may even say "and furthermore it's criminal tax evasion and you're all going to prison."

This is a news article about a notice they've just issued indicating as much.

The law is not a computer program. Being clever about definitions does not often have pleasant results. This approach is unlikely to work.
Yes! thank you.
> products that people tend to dismiss as boring or derivative

Not a good heuristic, as that describes the Apple Watch.

(Though it wasn't derivative; its contemporaries existed almost exclusively off the back of a torrent of leaks about the future Apple product. Competitors knew about it long before it was launched and raced ahead with their own junk.)

(Also I don't think the Apple Watch is boring, but it is niche. The particular niche I am fascinated with is healthcare. It's possible that within a decade or two, their Watch product could be highly disruptive.)
Your first point reminds me of a recent podcast[1] where Tren Griffin said that sometimes the hardware is simply a distribution channel for the software, which is where all the margins are. He called this "software in a box."

What does it mean for a state to be affluent? The goods and services governments purchase are presumably purchased in their local markets. It’s not as if a $60k New York police officer or bureaucrat stops more crime, pushes more paper, or lives better than his $30k counterpart in Alabama. It’s not as if a public housing project that builds 10 efficiency studios at $500k each represents a higher level of public service than one that provisions 10 $50k mobile homes. I agree that certain areas have higher and lower concentrations of genuine wealth but a progressive income tax curve already takes care of that. SALT was more like a crude approximation of a cost of living adjustment.
As you might have guessed from the title, this is about Stuxnet, the advanced worm/cyberweapon which successfully targeted and damaged centrifuges at the Iranian nuclear enrichment facility in Natanz in 2010. It is believed to have been jointly developed by the US and Israel.

If you want to pay at least double (if not triple) digit dollars per year to avoid significant snow, that is of course your choice. But there shouldn't be any expectation that everyone should be be able to do so. (Or that such would even make sense in the aggregate--not everyone can live in California.)
This introduces the "time" component of the attack increasing its riskiness. The longer you wait until releasing the chain, the more time there is for events to happen that might completely thwart your attack.
Interesting. It appears there are two big loopholes to the 20% limit: a general five-year exception that allows DAFs to wind out of large donations, and a new exception where the DAF acquires 100% of the voting interest.[0]

This statement both ignores the tremendous effect smartphones have on you personally (as opposed to others being interested in you), and the tremendous effect tech platforms have on large scale groups of unimportant people.
Maybe because it actually makes economic sense to stay. Cost of living, mainly for housing, in high-paying regions means that after a certain age you won't realize the benefits of the higher wages since you won't be able to pay off your mortgage before your career ends. In fact rent or mortgage interest may capture all of the salary bump and more.

Working a menial job in a depressed area makes a lot more sense when a house there only costs $125,000.

I understand that those open to education can have a life transformation in a new city by acquiring new skills. But that's a small number of people.

Most people work to live and not the other way around. Some just want three hots and a cot, family, and friends. And that is perfectly alright.

Just for fun I searched Bloomberg for this phrase: "why do upper middle class people continue to live in overpriced cities despite having all their needs met". The second result was this one: https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2014-08-12/only-45-p.... Maybe we are more alike than we realize...
I have both, and I've found that the GH is better at figuring out what I'm trying to ask. It's a lot more flexible with freeform speech.

On the other hand, the Alexa devices have a lot more apps, and I think that's in part because it's so much easier to build apps for it, mainly because they have a lot of scaffolding in AWS for it. I've even built a few of my own.
The advocacy groups say Tesla’s promotions of Autopilot suggest otherwise and are deceptive. Among the examples cited in the letter is Tesla’s Autopilot website, which proclaims Tesla vehicles have “full self-driving hardware” and contains a video posted that when played begins with text reading “the person in the driver’s seat is only there for legal reasons. He is not doing anything. The car is driving itself.”
What is the value of currency you can legally print on any printer?

I'd be careful about promoting vapor as people tend to get annoyed when they don't get their product. If Purism ships, I doubt it will be anything decent. They are absurdly under capitalized for what they are trying to do. I'd love to be wrong but I'd happily bet 5 figs that I'm not.
So your child will accelerate through language development thanks to this device. At some point, they will discover the endless rabbit holes including, but not limited to, pornography, technology, philosophy, gaming, and politics. Their comprehension in all these areas will see similar advances.

But then what? What will happen when they need to spend time with themselves? How will they relate to other people? What happens when novel information is no longer novel? Will drugs help? How will they cope with the stresses of life?

This is a slippery slope. We are only now seeing how total the consequences to what it means to be a social people.
Let's not belabor the conversation, but I think there were more organizational factors in play than that. Most obvious, think about the damage to the brand if consumers associate it with cyanide (of all things). The only "value" at play there was organizational and career self-preservation for the people responsible for responding to the incident. I highly doubt there were any noble impulses or high-minded values involved.

I don't have the case study details in front of me, but just as an aside, companies can be sued and will lose if the plaintiff can prove they were negligent; for example, not taking reasonable steps to prevent tampering.
Credit Card companies and banks can reverse the transactions, so long as they keep track of things in batches, have strong backup system for their ledgers. So long as they're not SWIFT transactions that leave the country, and the country that's attacked as a strong/regulated inter-bank transfer system.

If a bank is critically hit so bad funds become impossible to correctly attribute to people (Fight Club type unrealistic scenario), at least in the US FDIC would probably come in to play. The bank might even have to be treated as a failed bank.

People wouldn't stop using banks, but they would stop using that bank.
Yeah, they can enlist VW's help in story telling.
My two cents is to follow courses, or start your own projects. These books should be used as reference as you're learning things.
This would make a great movie, but for the fact that cops busting pot dealers aren’t as sympathetic heroes as they once may have been.
Off-the-wall idea: pay out Unemployment in multiples of the cost-of-living of whatever area you’re in, rather than in multiples of your previous wage/salary. Worked at a factory in small-town Michigan and qualify for six months’ “runway”? Move to SF and now it’s six months of SF-cost-of-living “runway” instead.

(Would this be abused for nice vacations? Almost certainly. But maybe there’s a better version of this which couldn’t.)
How is the government going to forcibly size a wallet? Are you suggesting they can break the crypto, or that they will compel people to divulge their keys?
This is absolutely the kind of totally pointless, already-solved, software-only non-product that causes no measurable change in the world that I was talking about.

I'm not saying software can't have an impact, it absolutely can, and a BIG one. Think Tor, Bitcoin, Signal, or maybe some AI or open OS or something that allows people to do something they couldn't do before at any price. Those things can cause some major structural or other disruption to society at large. Automated test results will not. People don't even test stuff most of the time (sadly).
Maybe it's just the mid-level clothing retailer model? The MSRP is priced higher but you can almost always get it on "sale" so you think you're getting a good deal?

They're super commodity hardware -- tust a WiFi chip, a speaker, a mic, and some other off-the-shelf components. It seems like the profit margins would be high at full retail price. Remember that the tech companies don't care about recouping their R&D costs, they just want to get these things into homes essentially at cost. Economies of scale really kick into play when you're making millions.
you're right, I was mixing up some concepts in my mind, sorry!

(the actual problem is our SAN is getting us a grand total of 10 iops. No, that's not wrong, 10. The "what the christ, just buy us a system that actually works" momentum has been building for 2 years now but hasn't managed to take over. Hardware comes out of a different budget than wasted time, yo.)
The integration between Alexa and Sonos is great, so there is no need for Amazon to compete with Sonos speakers.

Oh, all right!! Cool! I'll definitely be keeping a slightly closer eye on DMC++ now and watching it for changes then, I think :)

I've wanted to play with C++ for quite some time, but (as crazy as it might sound) gcc/clang's multi-second compile times for the smallest of things (eg, messing around with FLTK, which doesn't go that crazy with C++ features) makes tinkering a bit distracting. Multiple seconds for medium+ things, maybe, but tcc has spoilt me when it comes to rapid iteration, heh.

A C++ compiler for Linux with speed reminiscent of (or maybe even similar to!) tcc would have a very big (if quiet) impact for a few people, I reckon. Something nice to have one day.

(Unrelated, but fiddling around to get `dmd -c' + external libphobos.so + ld.lld makes for especially nice compilation speed :) )

Is there any specific reason the last step you speak of hasn't been taken? Just time/inertia, or reluctance for technical reasons? I think many people would be interested to hear what effort you'd want to fold into a Linux release, if there are any technical issues.
It's only odd if you look at the community part of a decentralized coin as only the miners. You're missing the other critical parts which are its users and the exchanges.

A cryptocoin is worthless to miners if it cannot be exchanged, and it's worthless to exchanges if no one wants to trade it.

If quantum computing happens, I wonder how long it will take the workforce and tools to develop -- it took some time for classical computers to get good tooling and a decent size workforce.

Definitely the potential to change the world, if it's actually possible to build working quantum computers.
You made a claim. Support it or withdraw it.
This is going to sound like an stupid question but it could be just lack of marketting or lack of documentation but I'm reading through the website and it only mentions supports for Win32, Win16, DOS and DOS32, is this correct? I'm curious to know how is that going to work for VirtualBox given that I use it on my Mac. Is the ticket suggesting they switch from VisualC++ compiler to DMC?
Multiple people. Please do your research before posting.
Interesting to know.
One thing that is interesting is the whole hipster "lumbersexual" fad has made knowledge of "rural" things pretty cool in those circles.

Don't fall for the trap to think this means you can admit you were poor once too. That negative attitude will still turn towards you. You will be judged and it will be remembered. You'll get a little bit of "Other" on you and everything will get a little harder. Just consider yourself lucky that unlike most race and gender concerns you can pass very easily, so do it.

I'm impressed you are committed to being open about it, but I hope during that talk you tell them to start passing and help them learn how to if they need it.
I understand that it's going away, but I really hope they open source it. I don't expect that they will, though. I know people have decompiled it and made private servers to replicate the experience, but it'll be an icon lost with time, and you can't replicate all the exact behavior with private servers.
I think the quibble is that Facebook didn't circumvent Google, they used an open API that Google themselves provided. It wasn't an end-around, it was just Google leaving the keys in the door.
I'm typically the defender of electron on these threads. I think its a great way for devs to get an MVP out there quickly. But there is a time and a place for electron.

electron good
- IDEs, markdown editors, visual git clients, things that are front and center

electron bad
- music players, tray notifiers, app launchers, things that work in the background

On windows and mac I use foobar for music and greenshot for screen grabs because they use minimal resources.
Posted in HN a few weeks ago [0], Someone wrote a pretty good article on the tricks they use to be more productive developers. At the end, they cover music genres.

From personal experience, I agree with everything he says. Music with less or no lyrics keeps me focused more on coding. When a song starts playing with lyrics that I enjoy, it distracts me from what I am working on. I particularly enjoy Lo-Fi Hip Hop[1], because there typically are not very many lyrics in the music and it typically has white noise in the background to help reduce distracting noises.

They aren't designed to constantly record or transmit. If they were sending that kind of info out the WAN connection, it would be noticed the day it's enabled.

If you trust Google to honor the privacy and data collection management options, then I see no reason not to apply that same level of trust to their home speaker product.

Now, whether these devices are capable of doing this on a targeted basis, that's possible. That same possibility exists with the closed source baseband chip in all our smartphones as well, though.
Oops:

- To clarify, I meant the Gen1 Raspi.

- I now realize (after having actually had a proper look) that while the Micro:Bit does use "JavaScript" and "Python", they're different, microcontroller-specific implementations, and I should have used a different example there, like an Intel NUC or perhaps an ODROID board or similar.
Why does attempting to do so mean they think it's easy?

The IRS is powerful. But so are the states. If you think this is a simple case, you're mis-understanding it. Fully expect this to go to the Supreme Court.
I don't feel dumber. I traded information to Google in exchange for convenience. Now maybe that wasn't worth it to you, but I'd avoid speaking for all of us. My smart phone makes me a functional member of society, that's worth a bit of privacy.

It would be for things like the BIOS you use to boot your VirtualBox VMs which has to be 16-bit real mode code. Hopefully the compiler itself runs on Linux already (though this is only needed for building the code).
Resizing a fully contiguous circle buffer would cause a copy every element as well forcing you to make a single contiguous memory section. Array of arrays just needs to resize the top level array.
On the other hand, you're much more likely to be able to carve out a niche for yourself and be niche-famous in a huge and varied country like the United States.
The SALT cap clearly impacts lower-middle class and middle class home owning residents of California and New York (in addition to higher income earners). This had zero to do with tax reform and was 100% punishment for states that did not vote for Trump.
Part of the reason countries just keep making weapons beyond what they need is in order to maintain their manufacturing base. It takes a lot of special tooling, materials, and training to make a particular weapon. If you let it lapse, getting it started back up might be less worth it than just designing a new one.
Just adding an additional product when it looks to be more profitable might mean having to buy more land, building a new building, starting with all new workers, etc.
Unless the previous product is really profitable and stable, it's likely they'll just retool and retrain for the new product.
Facepalm, indeed.

C'mon, Ars. This is beneath you. Look at all of the actual changes in context[0] before doing a knee-jerk freak-out. Most of the changes are expansions and improvements, removing weasel words like "observe" with actual action items, plus correcting some elementary-level typos.

The way "evolution" was used in the one quoted example was incorrect anyway; "natural selection" should have been used instead.
