2017 MacBook Pro 15". No, it doesn't. Open the lid, time passes before screen is no longer black. Even longer amount of time before the TouchID figures out my finger is the accepted finger. So, when did it resume? When the screen lit up, or when I could actually use it? Obviously, Apple's TouchID is preventing me from resuming, but to the user, that's all they care about.

I think a lot of people would be very interested in a job posting with a tagline like: "We don't have ping pong or topo chico; we have eight hour workdays".

If I saw that, saw a clear description of the thing they're building and reasoned that it provides value to someone, I'd be over the moon.
The UK has 1.75x the number of people than California, but has 2.19x the number of homeless people (more than 250,000 as of 2016, compared to California having 114,000 as of 2017).
> Vermont has the best East coast skiing. I’d put it in the bottom quartile of West coast skiing.

Yep. I learned to snowboard on the east coast and when I came out west, I was amazed at how much "better" I was overnight. I really am better now, but it doesn't hurt to have good snow.
Posts like this seem so dishonest. The entire point of shilling would be hiding the fact that your shilling (otherwise you'd buy an ad), so of course we don't have deep documentation of exactly who is shilling when, where, how much they're paid, etc.

What we do have is the knowledge of companies/groups dedicated to "influencing online opinion" (e.g. Correct the record, Share Blue, etc.). They don't advertise what they're doing but there somewhere doing influencing. Seems reasonable that they'd be on the biggest social sites doing their work.

What I've personally seen as very obvious shilling is GMO related topics on reddit (regardless of where you stand on the issue). You can be on the most obscure sub you can find, and if anyone says something critical about GMO products there will be a rebutal post within a short time always using the exact same arguments, exact same articles, terminology, etc. When new variations of the defense are developed they are instantly deployed site wide. This is for sure an organized group of people. Are they paid for it? I'm not sure, but for the effort they put in I hope they don't do it for free.

If I had infinite time, it would be intesting to do some deep data analysis on the posts on reddit and try to figure out how many are coordinated.
Are there plans to publish Anvil as open source?
We're just investigating a similar issue on our site. We have an internal URL only available to admins (and would return a 403 otherwise, not linked to from any public page), that suddenly got crawled by Yandex. We checked the IPs of the indexing itself and they are legit.

We have only a handful of admins with access to this resource. It's possible one of them had a malicious extension I suppose, but even if they did, how did this leak to Yandex?

My colleague also found this discussion[0] recently, which reports a similar problem.

I looked up the stats on public vs. private land in each state and was totally surprised to see that your 50% figure is correct (actually 52% on that chart I was looking at). That said, much of that land falls into national and state parks, monuments, recreational areas, forests, lakes and reservoirs, all of which make the state a more pleasant place to live and recreate in so I'm perfectly fine with that.

This is only useful if buf is involved in some preprocessor macrology which perpetrates a hidden mutation of buf.

BIG_MACRO(x, y, z, buf); // error!

the programmer is informed that, to his or her surprise, BIG_MACRO mutates buf and can take appropriate corrective action.

It's also useful in C++, since innocent-looking function calls can steal mutable references:

cplusplusfun(x, y, z, buf); // error: arg 4 is non-const ref

No such thing in C, though; function calls are pure pass-by-value.

Changing pointers returned by malloc is sometimes done:

if ((newptr = realloc(buf, newsize)) != 0)
buf = newptr;
else
...

In my experience, C code doesn't use const for anywhere near all of the local variables which could be so qualified.

If you enact a coding convention that all unchanged variables must be const, the programmers will just get used to a habit of removing the const whenever they find it convenient to introduce a mutation to a variable. "Oh, crap, error: x wasn't assigned anywhere before so it was const according to our coding convention. Must remove const, recompile; there we go!"

If you want to actually enforce such a convention of adding const, you need help from the compiler: a diagnostic like "foo.c: 123: variable x not mutated; suggest const qualifier".

I've never seen such a diagnostic; do you know of any compiler which has this?

I think that the average C module would spew reams of these diagnostics.
I've lived in Burlington, VT for the last two years, having moved from a large city.

The brain drain is real. I am leaving the state soon because I simply cannot relate to people and culture up here. (Note, this is for people who are < 35. There are a lot more >35 year olds up here with families who I never met). There's an inverse bell curve of age distribution.

I've discovered slightly above average intelligent people up here think they are much smarter than they are, due to the people/coworkers they are surrounded by. I've only met three highly intelligent people in my two years here. Two of them are also leaving within a year.

It's a shame, because Burlington is easily the most beautiful city I have lived in. Bike trails boarder the lake and outdoor recreation are all within an hour's drive.
The produce up here is the best I've had (like wow, can't go back good). The restaurant cuisines up here are diverse and plentiful (although the quality is lacking for some reason). Everything is so green up here. The weather is usually great.

It's a place to retire and maybe raise family, if you can handle the snow. Otherwise, if you're a younger adult with drive and ambition, you will not enjoy your stay.

At AngularConnect last year I now migration of large applications was a topic and if you are interested I think it should be available online.

Also: angular.js isn't dead, it is just stabilized. Yes, no more features (from Google) but it should be safe to use and also I think they signalled quite clearly that they would be happy to let the community pick it up.
This is such great feedback. Relevant to this product/project, one of the hardest things to learn is "how to write" in the sense of actually getting the words out on the page. Once that becomes habit, the real challenge is learning how to edit. That hack and slash is really hard, but it makes for really powerful pieces.

No, that's not even close to cashing out the generalization in empirical terms. To do this you'd need to specify exactly which observations would confirm or disconfirm it. Without the parenthesized parts, your gloss of the generalization remains vague and value-laden. With the parenthesized parts it is virtually tautological, since it's in the nature of empirical knowledge to generate accurate empirical predictions. It's surely not news to anyone that if forms of knowledge which lead to detailed empirical predictions are superior to other forms of knowledge, then empirical knowledge is superior to other forms of knowledge.

What you really seem to want to do, then, is argue from the nature of empirical knowledge itself to the conclusion that it is better than other methods of empirical knowledge. But that requires rational argument to back up the italicized statement above, not (just) an inductive generalization. And then we come back to the problem that it is impossible to find suitable premises for such an argument which can themselves be known empirically.

(For reference, the generalization we're talking about here is that "a bunch of empirical knowledge turns out to be valuable/effective/legitimate and all the supposed non-empirical knowledge I've seen turns out not to be valuable/effective/legitimate".)
> notoriously high-tax state

Some societies think that it is wise to spend on some things such as education (see https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/local/wp/2015/06/02/the-...). Others think that lowering taxes at whatever cost is better. The former fits with my thinking, which is why I like it here.
I absolutely believe our money is being squandered on a military industrial complex that is a net negative on the entire planet. I also believe that we need more progressive taxes, and to sit here and pretend that capitalism is flawless is simplistic and a waste of time.

> on Windows 10, CreateFileFromApp() and CreateFile2FromApp() should be used instead, otherwise the application won't run from the store.

So?

If you dislike the app store monopolies, it's stupid to herd your users into the store. Tell your users that your app is too sophisticated to run in dummy mode. Bonus: Sell to all the Win7 holdouts.

If you love app stores (monopoly rents be damned), you rank the store ecosystems and then never write a Windows version.

Ask HN: Trade-offs when hiring engineers. [Survey]
Curious how everyone makes trade-offs when hiring engineers. Please rank the following in decreasing likelihood/preference as to how you’d hire developers:
1.	Hire developers as co-located employees (the “standard” way) – taking into account SV salaries and timelines
2.	Hire developers as contractors on J1. They join you co-located but only for 18 months on a short term visa,with the risks that a % of people you want to keep cannot obtain the longer term visa;
3.	Build your own remote/offshore team. Note they could be in vastly different time zones (eg. 8 hours away)
4.	Managed service of a remote/offshore team as employees. Find a company to help source local developers which you ultimate interview/choose, office, HR and operations taken care of
5.	Managed service of a remote/offshore team as contractors – you don’t bear employment risk / ramp up ramp down quicker but less control
6.	No hire. Ie. Leave the position open until you find someone as a co-located employee (the “standard” way)
While your data are no doubt correct, this doesn't stop it being true for California. Just because a state is now suffering from out-migration doesn't indicate it didn't become wealthy from migration in the past, nor does it indicate it is getting poorer now due to that out-migration. To know that, you'd have to measure the economic contribution of the people moving in and of the people leaving. It is possible for the GDP per capita to increase and simultaneously for the population to decrease slowly.

Would be interesting to know where the wealth comes from in Colorado, Nebraska and Minnesota. I don't know enough about them to comment.

Edit: some data here:
https://www.ocregister.com/2018/01/31/california-migration-c...

"The top relocation motivation for 65 percent of households arriving by van said they came to California for jobs. Only 43 percent of those departing by moving van described the move was work-related.

The jobs rush means your new neighbors are likely wealthier than the people they replaced. United’s study showed 68 percent of arriving households make $100,000 or more annually; just 63 percent of those departing by moving van make above that threshold."

There's so much hype around "AI" right now that I wonder if we're headed to a winter where you need very strong business justification to get funding to apply those existing tools. It seems like anyone with a problem to solve is spending millions to throw machine learning at it, just to see if it will stick. That's not sustainable.

Or you could just convert from the unsigned to the signed type, rather than dragging unions into it.

C programs can simulate two's complement math using unsigned types, avoiding UB. Then rely on IB to convert between signed and unsigned.

I think this expression would be familiar to most native English speakers, but it is idiomatic.

It's using "near" as a synonym to "close" -- as in "a close shave" (actually close) rather than as a synonym for "close to" as it is in the expression "near death" (almost, but not quite dead).

The second sense is definitely more common.

This post suggests "near miss" became common as a military phrase to mean "missed, but still damaged the target" but changed as it entered the vernacular:
