The 12.9"iPad Pro is one of the few pricey electronic devices I've found myself buying and then not really using. I had a lot of ambitions for using it for instructional-type drawing but I didn't really get that going. And it's just too big and heavy to use generally. And I say this as someone who really likes its smaller sibling, especially when I'm traveling.

But the big iPad now just sits on a stand in the kitchen where I use it for recipes and the odd video. It's pretty underutilized.
Had that worked well for you? Is it mature enough to use today?
Ask HN: Can remote-first be a winning strategy for SV startups?
I've noticed that startups are often very insistent on their developers being physically present, and are less remote-friendly even compared to bigger enterprises.

I understand many of the reasons why, but going remote-first also seems like it would bring many benefits. Avoiding the high-COL-high-salaries problem in SV. Minimising facilities expenses. Attracting talented employees who enjoy working from home. Working with the best talent from around the world, and not just SV.

I'm aware that it's certainly possible for startups to go remote-first, but is it generally going to help or hurt the company? Do investors like YC and VCs encourage it or discourage it?

My general definition of remote-first: https://stackoverflow.blog/2017/02/08/means-remote-first-company/
Big deal. How many people are actually going to go to the trouble to do that to talk to people in my neighborhood where they don’t even live?

Every domain of study actively tries to create a unifying Generalized theory. It's basically implied that research is attempting to completely model a system into the "Grand Unified theory of [insert domain]."

I think it's a quirk of Humanity to think that systems trend toward stability and immutability, but I'm not sure if it's possible to say for sure. In other words, there is a slight possibility that the fundamental "laws" governing systems could actually change over time. That is not to say that our perception of them changes with better tools, but that fundamental interactions may not be immutable.

Renewables do make for more intermittent supplies of power. However EVs have the potential to smooth that out. Charging speeds across a city can float somewhat with available power and most consumers will not care or even notice.

At some point those cars can actually be part of the grid's storage capacity, if the infrastructure is built to allow the car to put some of it's capacity back onto the grid during low availability. EV drivers willing to have 20% of their battery be drained when they need to drive can get paid a small amount for leaving their vehicle plugged in while not in use.

Sub Saharan Africa has a population of roughly 1 billion people. So this is about 1/2000 of the population that die every year from malaria. If this was happening in the US, say 150,000 people a year were dying from malaria every year, including 100,000 children, do you really think there would be this huge debate about wiping out these malaria species using CRISPR?

Wiping out disease carrying mosquitoes would be one of the best things that could be done for global health. It would disproportionately benefit poor countries in general and children in particular. It is a shame that we as humanity are not making an all out push to eliminate these disease carrying mosquitoes.

No clue. The value of stealing that trailer goes up a lot more though if it's a stack of high density batteries.

Somehow this sort of thing never happened to a recent device like the S7 back in the days of CM, before it became Cyanogen Inc. Between the death of Cyanogen Inc. and the birth of LOS a crucial ingredient appears to have been lost, leaving the project as a whole less vital that it was before.

I'd guess the answer changes extension-by-extension. uBlock Origin and javascript blockers prevent a ton of things from ever actually loading, which makes for a much faster web experience -- win-win (although some pages are just blank until you enable enough JS). AdNauseum sounds much slower and more resource-intensive.

I like uMatrix (from the creator of uBlock Origin), which by default blocks almost everything from 3rd parties, especially javascript. Without javascript, privacy concerns are vastly diminished and the pages is much smaller and faster. I like uMatrix because it's relatively easy to load only the javascript you want, when you need it.

Funny, I've had the exact opposite experience. Maybe you were just trying to associate with poorly-led projects?

Edit: Not all open source projects have shitty leaders, but some do, and it's not always obvious which ones those are until you've invested some non-zero amount of time/effort into it.

For sketching quick diagrams on meetings I love Linea.
Perhaps, I should not be surprised the first response here is, "Well maybe that's your fault for not having a crystal ball which can predict the actions of strangers." That attitude is part of the problem. Similarly, "My experience was fine, so clearly your bad experience needs to be invalidated" is a toxic attitude.
If they want that’s fine but it’s damaging behaviour for society so it will be taxed and/or regulated.

>So now "easily" has turned into going to a third party App Store and either blindly trusting an app wont surreptitiously store and forward all of your data or either trusting that someone else has audited the code or audit the code yourself and to be doubly sure, build the code yourself.

The thing with open source reproducible builds of popular software is that somebody else has already done that verification, so you don't have to do anything. That's how easy it is.

To get the same level of assurance on an iOS device, you would have to reverse engineer the app binary. Of course, it's not even possible to begin with because Apple doesn't allow system-wide adblockers at all.

Thanks for the clarification. I saw the readme, and I assumed (wrongly) that each rule just receive a file name.

I wonder where you draw the line between a "linter aggregator" and a "linter". golangci-lint incorporates all the rules themselves, though it imports the linter logic as libraries, so I'm not sure that it's fair to call it an aggregator. Gometalinter runs linters as child processes and I don't think it contains any linter code, so it's a pure aggregator.

My point is that while your project is admirable, the Go world isn't large enough for so many linter projects. Personally, I just want one good linter that is maintained and that incorporates all the rules I want.

CVE-2018-11235: Security vulnerability in Git
Check out Satellite Reign. I found it a very fun game that considers itself the spiritual successor to Syndicate.
Yeah, I tried it for quite a while and found it really disappointing. Maybe I fail at playing it, but it seems to move between syndicate-style global map which is OK and restricted missions which are super slow, super annoying episodes where you get kicked back to the beginning for every stupid mistake. You just can't afford an open fight at the beginning and it's so slow I couldn't progress to real upgrades. It basically turns into a stealth game where any detection means you're swamped by new units and dead.

This is much different from syndicate where if you messed up, you just faced a bigger fight. You could die or survive, but it was a fair fight without sudden reinforcements.

It was, historically. Android was a startup that had to get to market as fast as they could. To make matters worse, once the iPhone came out they had to quickly switch from a Treo-like interface to a iOS-like one in order to stay relevant.

To Google's credit, they've been trying for years to clean it up, but there's only so much they can do…

>Domo also paid about $200,000 more than a year ago for furnishings from an interior design company that was part-owned by James and at which a different brother is an executive.

This is a classic embezzlement technique, where the main company rents something from a co-owned company at incredibly inflated prices. It appears legitimate on the balance sheets, allows the main company to go bankrupt and collapse without disrupting the secondary company, and insures no debtors can take the assets of the bankrupt company to pay off debts as everything is owned by the secondary company

If the platform does not lose the younger public, yes, they will be just as good. People burning out on media is as old as language.
Well, there are literally millions of people who don't share your same experience, so rather than claim that everyone is wrong and open source development doesn't work, maybe you are doing something wrong. Just a suggestion, because it totally does work for many people. Maybe you just have to find the right group of people to work with. There are a few shitty projects, but you'll find bad apples in many areas of life.
Ментальный интеллект
UI would be a solved problem from an engineering perspective if someone could define what was necessary for building a good UI, for all time, without working directly with pixels, and without completely obliterating the at least somewhat secure browser sandboxing.

There are essentially no unknowns from an engineering perspective to create any possible ( not impossible ) solution in this space, except for two: What is a good UI, and how do we make almost intrinsically safe execution environment for categorically untrusted code?

There might be, and probably is objectively good UI practices, but what is considered by most to be good UI changes with fashion, with what primitives are available, and what is almost - but not entirely - possible at any point in time.

The kind of freedom the author seem to want is probably not possible to do in any reasonable secure way without all operative systems makers agree on a rather advanced security model that continues far outside the browser, in fact it has to essentially replace the default OS model for all content generated from the browser, and for any application that has ever interacted with any such content.

Looking at saving a file without a save dialog as an example, it might sound trivial, but then the smallest bug in the browser, which is a very complicated runtime for executing distributed content of mostly untrusted nature, could rewrite any file into an executable Trojan horse, completely taking over control the next time you run it.

To avoid this, the OS would have to restrict anything saved or generated from a page to the same set of restrictions that page had, transitively.

Even the possibility to save anything at all opens this window quite a bit, but not at all to the same extent as being able to do it silently. In addition to the obvious reasons, there are other benefits like not having to keep a list of allowed files, and thus can't as easily be tricked as easily to reveal the local names of those files either through direct attacks, or side-channel attacks. Unless you are okay with the 'application' not knowing the name of the files, but then someone is going to complain that it's impossible to make a 'recent files' menu, and thus the circle continues.

There are actually solutions to this that are plausible from a technical and engineering perspective, but they all work by extending the sometimes cumbersome restrictions of the browser right into the native environment to an extent that would probably make OS companies extinct in short order. They are likely to want to either avoid this, or try to become a single supplier. The various strategies of the actors in this space seems to be rather obvious.

Site operators who shut down their site preemptively because they don't have time to even consider their GDPR stance are not really a strong signal on how sensible the law is.

No, but it is a strong signal of my critique: That the EU is a 900 pound gorilla and that is a large part of the problem here. Small operators will, in fact, be impacted by this because they don't have the resources -- including time -- to cope with this and this will cause substantial fallout. Suggesting that "The details of the law are sensible" is not a rebuttal of the cincerns I am expressing.
Which is one of the very few things they are required to do. Following the clauses in the MIT license is not really rocket surgery.
Some of the projects were in fact my original work. I was genuinely interested.

I get similar negative feedback for writing, often. I don't write issue reports on github because I'm tired of people being angry at me for reporting problems or being derisive because I don't have the workarounds they didn't write down.

So you have just one single thing to do, and you don't do it - how can you be trusted then?
> so rather than claim that everyone is wrong

I didn't. This is your inability to tolerate a different viewpoint. I didn't say you had a bad experience, just that I can't relate to the good ones. I qualified every statement with _I_, _my experience_, and _feel_ and you're still willing to stand up and argue with me about it.

And that is, in fact, a toxic attitude. You're arguing that I'm neither allowed to have nor relate negative experiences.

Stop doing that. Stop doing what you're doing right now. It serves no purpose other than to further embed this toxic attitude into a community you obviously love and want to represent positively.
