”but it's not available on all platforms that support Swift”

I think that’s a weak argument. arc4random’s source code isn’t platform specific, complex or large and is available under a permissive license, so they could easily put it in the runtime.

I would think they added this because of the modulo argument you give and to give it a better name (there’s nothing wrong with ‘arc4random’ for _a_ random number generator, but _the_ random number generator on a platform should have a simpler name)
I actually just had this thought the other day. It used to be that most people didn't even pay income tax. I realized that income tax is like "regulatory capture" for the wealthy and acts as a barrier from the poor/middle class from moving up. If we really want to touch the rich, we would have to have more capital gains tax, wealth tax, inheritance tax etc.
Anyone can be affected by this, which is why police brutality should be an everyone issue, but statistically speaking you are correct.

(There are many other, more dangerous places in the world where you shouldn't call cops for things like this, but probably everyone there knows why, so you don't have to caution the statistically unlikely subset not to do this.)
Xenix on the Lisa was kind of cool.
That typing sound is to ensure that you are aware the call hasn’t disconnected. With just silence, users feel like they have been disconnected.

The docker issue in question is just that, a docker issue. Recent versions have improved it greatly. I run some pretty large docker containers and it can be slow but not totally unbearable like a year ago.

I wish I could find the website where this is documented as "somewhere in the south east pacific blah blah".

It read like a comedy, but was so damn true.
UK government just approved an extra runway at Heathrow, so capacity there (and onto NYC) will increase a fair bit.
Being ethical and breaking law are different things. Not everything legal is ethical.
Sure, I would like to see the real reason, We want drones to strike in 3rd world countries. Is not like China will send drones in US.

People don't like war, so it is natural that some people won't want to use their talent for making weapons.
It's pretty hard to argue that airlines (at least outside of US) is a very competitive biz.
My comment implied no such thing. I was simply stating that you can't just up and leave should you so wish, you getting released is not in your control.
It's a warning for everyone. Caucasians have plenty of bad interactions with police, especially surrounding mental health. Also, depression is increasing fastest in white men.
The top 5 are NZ and Australia - this possibly explains my hatred of airports and dislike for flying. I’m trying the longest one next week, with a child.
No, it likely means that the cops took some monitors and hard drives and declared that they now have the cryptocurrency.
and also they are really expensive, similar to trips to the emergency room.
They also harvest your mental health data. If that surfaces at an unsuitable point in time in your life (e.g. you want to get into politics, you want to operate heavy machinery, you want to serve, etc, etc.) you will pay a huge price because you're one of the crazies who cannot be trusted.
You never take taxis? Airbnb is even less of a stretch since B&Bs were the original hotel.

Uber was not a surprise at all for me because I'd been complaining about the bloated and horrible taxicab system for many years. It was a market that was crying out for disruption. I remember in 2008 my local taxicab company had exactly two ways to hail a cab: phone or fax. They might or might not show up at the appointed time, and they'd certainly never send you any kind of updates. It cost upwards of $5 to step into the cab, and after that there were fees out the wazoo (per 1/6th mile fee, per 45 seconds fee, fee for having a bag, a fuel surcharge, a license surcharge, a regulatory recovery surcharge, and a couple others I forget). The cabs might have credit card readers but they were always broken so it was cash only. Drivers took weirdly roundabout backroads paths and always claimed it was fastest if you asked them about it, even though I knew the highway was not busy at 4am. Every single thing about the experience sucked. When they started crying later that Uber was killing their business my response was "good".
Walgreens prescription refill has a good voice input system. It doesn't pretend to be intelligent. But you can read a long prescription number to it, speaking rapidly, and it gets it right. It's better than humans for that.
No one in this thread seemed to pick up on the mention in the article that they wanted to pipe in fiber optics and project. It sounds like a largely analog solution that would be unlikely to break.
MS hasn't been cool since the 80s and even then its coolness was debatable.
This is inaccurate. People who are neither employed nor unemployed are not considered part of the labor force. For instance this would include retired persons, students, people taking care of children or other family members, and those who have no desire at all to work. Here [1] is a brief on the reasons people are not counted.

In my part of midwest USA, multiple giant hotels seem to be nearing completion: EIFS is nearly complete, windows have been in a couple of months, concrete parking lot is poured, etc. Apparently investors are expecting a lot more travelers to this thoroughly ordinary area.
Inflation makes money lose one of the primary purposes of why money exists in the first place: money is a store of value.
Which is only one part of my comment, and it's the one that (in my experience) people worry about the least (but it's always the one that people like to talk about the most).

What about the problem of police causing massive medical bills? What about the issue of fearing police involvement because they may charge you with a petty crime that can cause you significant issues? Or the worry that you could be arrested and jailed for having small amounts of marijuana which is legal just a few states over during an interaction with police? What about the worry of putting an office with their gun drawn in front of a suicidal person?

And even if none of that actually happens ever in "real life", the fear of it happening can be just as bad. It causes resentment, it causes kids to grow up fearing the police, it causes police to fear those who hate them, and instinctively act less friendly and helpful to them.

It's a problem that from where I'm standing looks like it can only get worse and worse. The police are no longer thought of as on "your side", and telling people that "statistically they aren't that likely to kill you" isn't going to solve anything.
Ah, they must have added this since I used them. Probably a smart move on their part.
Sadly I know very little more about it, other than being able to confirm that it really is dehumanizing. You're essentially being paid for your capability of performing simple natural language processing. The amount of courtesy that call-center people get is already pretty low, and bundle in that the frustrated person thinks they're talking to a robot that literally doesn't have feelings... he had some Bad Days (though he did say that you could let a lot of things slide by just reminding yourself of how comically nonsensical the whole situation is).

I'm just speculating here, but I suspect it means that the employee needs less training. All he needs is a quick flow-chart to route the calls. No training for how to talk to customers, no liability regarding things he might say, etc.

He was glad when he found another job.

I've seen people almost die due to double parking clogging up the street. I'm sure accidents do happen from that.
One of the biggest issues with enforcing patents is "how do I recognize (and then later prove in court) that my competition is infringing on my patent?

Since you can't easily just go have a peek your competitor's code, it's going to be a challenge to come up with an enforcement strategy.
Based on http://norman-ai.mit.edu/#inkblot

They used the captions to from the subreddit as the tags.

So they basically assigned the titles from the WPD subreddit posts as captions to random inkblot images when training Norman.
Why should he want to? When I was very depressed I would have hated nothing more than being made to watch 8 hours of something meaningless to me.

What helps (I would think) with depression would be things like "fitting in", "feeling valid", "feeling purpose", "not feeling shame", ""not having social anxiety", "sleeping well", "being fit", "having a healthy community", "having fulfilling hobbies", "having a healthy friend group", "having healthy family relationships".

not "knowing more about how depression works".
What you just wrote had me wondering if my wife was posting to HN because I'm sure she too is also at the end of her rope dealing with my anxiety and depression. If your person is anything like me please resume the loving and know that in all likelihood you're not being intentionally wronged. We just aren't dealing with the black dog as well as we'd like or wish we could.

They also impact pedestrians. I've seen pedestrians almost hit due to double parking in NYC. Sometimes they are also jaywalking, but sometimes there's a crosswalk or intersection and the double parking is hurting visibility.

First, in this particular case, I'd doubt my ability to determine if I'm actually seeing a theft in progress. I've used Starbucks mobile ordering and always feel like someone's gonna think I'm stealing stuff - it's a weird experience.

Second, calling the cops for a property crime like theft/vandalism is something I'm not 100% comfortable with. I've got insurance on my stuff, I think our prison system sucks and is frequently counter-productive, and I don't like the idea that calling the police can cause people to die for non-capital crimes (or complete innocence, like the swatting case a while back).
Also interested in an answer for this. I've looked up some in the past but not sure how good any of them are.
If we are talking developer tools, sure, they are developer oriented by definition.

The overall Apple UX is clearly inheriting from the other side of the spectrum. Headless Linux is massively popular among developers for a reason, and not because the average developer is stuck-up.
they must have been dumb to keep the only copy of the keys on a hard drive. should have committed the 12 words to memory or put it on an encrypted google drive or something
Walter, you didn't say the 747 wasn't profitable, you said it wasn't subsidized.

Boeing is subsidized by the USG, there's no realistic debate on that. That subsidy applies across their product line.
This month I had the same thing happen at 4 different stores (Walmart, Home Depot, Lowes, and Ace Hardware): I ask where can I find product-X and the store attendant pulls out his/her smartphone to look it up on the internet, either to find out what department that is or what it is (when it's something they ought to know). I have a smartphone too, I could have looked it up. I'm not asking to see the web page for it, I want to know where it is physically. They hire people who do not even have basic knowledge of their own department, and apparently do not train them either. But this thing of acting as though them looking up the same thing I already researched on the web before I came in the store is something that I need help with is new.

A lot of the animosity goes much further back than Gingrich. There were burned bridges during the Bork and Thomas hearings, for instance.

It’s less impressive when it’s over your backyard. They have been trialing a more aggressive landing approach here in Auckland. It’s lower, faster and shorter and it’s very irritating. It’s been handled aggressively by the airport but I sort of admire their handling. They started with the more annoying option as a test, so any future route will seem like a concession to public pressure.

They have been encouraging people to complain, then producing stats showing that a high percentage of complaints relate to old flight paths.

Gold is worthless for buying stuff. My dad holds this view that people should keep a bunch of gold on hand for disasters. He was right that disaster would strike (massive snow storm), but he was wrong about the gold. Turns out, when credit card machines are inoperable, grocery stores won't take gold, just cash.

Tuck away a few hundred bucks in small bills. It will be more valuable than a chest full of gold when you really need it. It suuuuuuuucks to be caught without physical cash in an emergency.
This really depends on the family. I had 3 siblings and we traveled a lot. When we no longer all fit on the same bed, I got a folded-up blanket on the floor. Eventually my sister decided she would rather have the floor. My brothers are awful to sleep with...
It is true. The beauty offer I have is I only want/need a place for June-Sept. Could be a win-win... if off-season rate can be agreed upon. Otherwise, when the boss doesn't have me staying in Hyatts & Hiltons, I am rambling when it's <100°F.
While there’s truth to this, there’s no real discussion here about deprecating or removing BSD sockets. UNIX, POSIX and OpenGL are very, very different things to discuss, and Apple deprecating one doesn’t speak to any real expectation of deprecating anything else.

At some point it may happen, but there’s simply no writing on the wall for it right now.
Sadly, both statements are true -

Call Centers are not particularly effective. It's also true that there aren't widely available good options.

It's a difficult situation, and the tools to address it are inadequate.

Really? I feel like writing the article "The decline of Ubuntu".
Reminds me of the economist Robert Solow's quip:

"You can see the computer age everywhere but in the productivity statistics."
This is an excellent point!

We should also keep in mind that chatbots are clearly a thing that people want; we're just using capitalism to test whether society, technology, etc. are "there" yet, so it's not entirely irrational for investment to flow into this area. (We might debate the scale of the investments, or we can just let the market determine that for us.)

I think I read somewhere with Tesla that a problem with outside suppliers is that you can't always negotiate the price down to a competitive place. Specifically if the supplier has a patent or something that gives them leverage in pricing.

I'm not sure I'm wording what I mean correctly.
> Name me a usage scenario, that AVX-512 is applicable to speed up in 80% of the market. I cant even think of one.

The problem with this kind of statement is that many people by their PC/laptop just for surfing and office applications. Especially for the latter application even a 7 year old PC currently suffices. But it is in my opinion easy to come up with ideas how applications that really need this kind of speed will profit from AVX-512. Additionally keep in mind that people who run applications that benefit from more speed will much more be prone to buy new PCs than people who just do office and surfing.
and investment banks, but to be fair they are probably also included in the groups you mentioned.
No, he's making claims about evolution and sexual selection without any sort of scientific evidence to back them up.
One thing that probably distinguishes Silicon Valley from other high-cost areas is that it's almost uniquely difficult to get out of the high cost zone while maintaining anything like a reasonable commute.

Metro Boston/Cambridge is pretty expensive these days as are some especially tony suburbs but you can get out toward reasonable property/rents relatively quickly. And, with the exception of newer outposts of companies from SV and elsewhere, a lot of existing tech is outside the city anyway.
I'm guessing that means his storage wallet wasn't BIP38 encrypted. There's a lesson there, even if we are learning it from a drug dealer.
Does cool matter? They were under $40 a share 5 years ago.
It's not always cheap to remove 5 tonnes of wiring. You need to count downtime and the cost of removal proper (disassembly, testing, reassembly, more testing) and compare it with the difference in price of scrapping it and replace with another model that's, perhaps, a better match for your desired capacity and the difference in the operational cost over the plane's lifetime. There are two-engine planes that promise to almost match the actual usage of the 380 for a lower operational cost.
Nowadays, deep learning powers most of NLP.
I was going to link to exactly the same thing. Only considering these 2017 faculty research awards, that is over $22 million awarded to academic research. Not to mention Google frequently uses the model where professors work at google for a summer / semester / year on a funded project, but are not permanent employees.
I also prefer more robust public transit, but I know of no community who decided against a public transit project because Uber was meeting their needs.

IIRC the cargo doors are too small and the space is broken up by a structural component (the second floor). The 747 was designed from the outset to be converted to a cargo hauler (hence the cockpit mounted on top) so it's much easier for a heavy lifter to work with.
I think you misunderstood my comment.

I was asking whether Network.framework sockets can be used via functions like “dispatch_read”, analogously to how you can plug BSD sockets into POSIX I/O functions as file descriptors.
Of course it is. Here's a link for you:

RTFM answer? that's kind of harsh... I know living in NYC was significantly cheaper than the "online" answer, provided you knew how to hunt apartments well, and didn't take taxis/ubers everywhere. Is the bay area cheaper or more expensive than the analysis in anecdote? I'd like to know myself...
