^ Not this one. Mankiw is already ideological enough, Sowell and Hazlitt should be stayed far away from. The real answer to the above commenter is that you can't, not really. You can put a lot of work into understanding Mankiw and then you go to econ grad school and learn all the caveats and how much of it is basically wrong. Economists themselves barely understand the economy and they spent years and decades getting to 'barely.' A layman is basically incapable.

In that sense maybe I'm wrong and maybe Sowell is the good choice, just decide your ideological viewpoint on the economy now, read enough to defend your viewpoints to other laymen and let that be that.
I've heard that its more likely we will see massive inflation ramp up. And since the debts are all fixed interest rates at the time of borrowing, they will be inflated away to nothing, not "written off".
Do you know how the government might acquire the data you're looking for? #3 is easy, #1 and #2 seem more in the domain of private surveyors that are more like pollsters and taking voluntary data sets to proxy the big picture. That has its own problems, of course.

#3 is clearly happening in tech.
Extending TVML with Custom Templates
I continued on with my 17" 2011 MBP for years and finally committed to switch to Linux last year when Apple's hardware policy became clear.

I didn't want to do toe-in-the-water trial, so I researched for a while until I settled on something and ended up with a Dell Precision 7710. I really wanted to have a support line I could call if there was a problem and the Dell Developer Edition option has been excellent for that.

It was not easy at first. I experimented with a lot of distros (Arch is not for the faint of heart) and ended up settling on Fedora 25 at the time. I really enjoyed it for about 6 months until I had to upgrade to Fedora 26 and my machine got frozen in this weird between-upgrades state.

After that I decided to give Mint 18.3 w/ Cinnamon a try and I've been a very happy camper ever since. It's been an absolute joy to work with. Timeshift is pretty great too.

19 just hit beta and I'm looking forward to the upgrade. When I have to get on a Mac now, it feels clunky and in-the-way. I was an avid Mac user for 10+ years...even appeared as the Mac in one of those local "I'm a Mac, I'm a PC ads"...but I'll say it right now, it would take a job requirement to get me to go back at this point.
A full RSS feed is a really good candidate for putting on a cdn though. It doesn’t change often and is really big.
Exactly many/most of the people Critical of this buyout where critical of GitHub BEFORE this announcement,

I have viewed GitHub as a net negative for Free Software for a number of years, this Microsoft deal amplifies that...
True, but I won’t put all the blame on Apple here. A good, random 30-char password would be impossible to crack even with thousands of attempts per second.
Odd. I've been waiting for a Macbook Pro that has something that excites me for a while (as my present one is 7 years old) and kind of gave up when the most recent Macbooks were announced.

I threw some more RAM and a 4 core CPU in a desktop that I'd previously been using as a PVR, and have gotten along with GNOME just fine. While a lot of folks dislike GNOME 3, I actually find it to be one of the more innovative and interesting desktops going around at the moment (including macOS and the various Windows iterations).

Oddly, the main thing I miss is that, while Mail.app has loads of annoyances, it still seems to do better with large IMAP folder better than anything on Linux except Thunderbird (which I find a bit clunky in the interface).

Were it not for music production software, I'd be very tempted to do a wholesale switch (in my case back to Linux, as it's what I used in the decade before I got my first Mac).
Fantastic, if true, but given Sessions' personal vendetta against marijuana, I'll believe it when I see it.
> In taking your own life you’re also fucking up the life of everyone who cares about you, forcing them into a state of grief and possibly causing them to blame themselves for what was ultimately a selfish act on your part.

People who kill themselves are extremely aware of this. Consider that as an indicator of how much distress they are in, not how selfish they are. They're in so much pain that they would inflict grief upon their loved ones to get out of it.

If a person is being physically intensely tortured, and they kill themselves to stop the pain, are they being selfish? They are under so much distress that their only option is to end it all. They would MUCH rather not be tortured and not have to die. Suicide is jumping out of a burning building because you don't want to burn. It's not something you do because you're upset.
The same thing happened in San Francisco... in the super expensive neighborhoods... the ones already gentrified. It wasn't until the city started enforcing some of the short-term rental laws that it calmed down.
I love the new keyboard and the super low travel. It definitely took a lot of getting used to.
How did this make it to the top 30... This "race" has been a global endeavour since the 50's, and no one keeps the title because that's not how progress works.
Plugs do a good enough job. There are a few actors with them that you would never be able to tell.

A shitty plug job looks horrible though. You get what you pay for.
Diversify. Try to have a portfolio of investments that include asset classes that will counter act any market falls.
I'm guessing, but they're probably unsellable because they're pre-production testbeds. Those will cost much more than a production plane.

It also tells you exactly nothing about the market for 787s...
Definitely this, I have a Thinkpad with Ubuntu 18.04, built in 4k display with 2 external 2k displays. I spent way too much time trying to get it to work. I just resorted to change magnification each time I dock/undock
I guess it depends on what types of apps one tends to use and what work you do. While I make frequent use of the terminal, I live in UI apps all day, so bad ports tend to stick out more prominently. If I lived in vim or emacs I could see it not mattering as much.
Yeah, we GOT that China. Dab.

But seriously though. Why does the news media seem to always feel the need to push this narrative of nations being in competition with each other? It seems so 20th century.
The most obvious impact is in the sexual selection department. There's no shortage of online dating profiles where women openly state they will only date tall men with a full head of hair.
As a not-bald person I have no experience here so I'm curious if you would mind expanding on what you feel like the severe, negative impacts have been?
Totally agree, especially about bloatware. I went to reinstall a machine and realized it took me 2x as long to turn off the Apple stuff I didn't want to use, as it did to install the OS. I don't want 80% of the software that comes with a Mac.

I wrote (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15773810#15773984):

* Keys break. A lot. Probably 1/4th of my friends with this machine have broken keys. Never happened on the old MBPs. (As I type this I'm using a mechanical Razer keyboard plugged into a dongle plugged into a 2016 MBP with a broken G key.)

* Trackpad is too big. What was the point, honestly? Nobody said, "My use case is I want a trackpad that's impossible not to bump when I type."

* MagSafe was great, bring it back. Every Apple product from now until the end of time should use a MagSafe power connector.

* TouchBar sucks. End of story. I miss the ESC key. I've literally never been like, "Oh gosh, I'm glad I have a TouchBar to change the volume... what a great feature!" It' just inflates production cost without adding value.

* Machines lack power... CPU and RAM. Old MBPs felt like they were amazing machines that would stand up over time. 16 GB RAM has been the cap for how many years now? Like a decade? Yeah...

* USB-C... other than dongles, I don't know a single accessory that uses a USB-C. Everything is Thunderbolt or USB-3. So... yeah let's have at least one USB-3 plug. I've got a USB and HDMI adapter that I use every day. Anyway nothing is built using a USB-C... I get pushing for new tech, but it seems more just like a way to add $250 in dongle sales to every new laptop sold.

* They are more expensive than the old ones. =(

* Office, Steam, other things... still don't run as well on Mac as they do on PC. If Apple isn't for Gamers, it has to be for people who do work? Or... look, who are the "Pro" lines for these days?

====================================

What I do want on my Mac?

I just dumped my "New" MBP and went back to my 2013 model. The 2013 model is damn near perfect. Wish it had a bit more power, but it's still better than carrying dongles and losing MagSafe.

I want actual improvements in the OS. It's so obnoxious that MacOS still STILL doesn't have window docking.

What's the chance of this actually passing? Aren't there are a lot of stupid proposals in most legislative institutions that never make it out of committee?

The article is light (read: empty) on details regarding its chance of passing. Even details like which committee are we talking about are missing. Which MEPs sits on it?
There's a lot of freedom engineers get in choosing projects.
There are teams that are dedicatedly working only on open source projects. ThoughtWorks organizes a lot of free events and workshops for technical development of the community. There is a big social component in every initiative, be it increasing diversity, equal pay, training women in tech etc.

There's a lot more and I am happy to answer any questions.
> It's baked into evolution and sexual selection

Careful, you're treading into dangerous territory by relying on scientific evidence and evolution, if you don't watch out you'll be the chased off the internet for "body shaming" or some other imagined slight by the internets virulent cultural cleansing mobs.

You must learn the new rules of the modern post-fact and feelings-first world, and adjust accordingly; the first rule is that evolution is offensive!
Sure, you are not forced, I said "CAN",

Say US wants to spend a lot of many with some black magic consultant that could assassinate at a distance, you can justify it by launching a rumor that China does it too or probably does it or it will do it.

So you throw away any moral discussions by blaming China , they do it so we have no choice.
So only, say 100K years before we have to figure out fusion or something? I'm thinking we could live with that.

However, uranium in seawater is actually in an equilibrium, so the more we extract, the more gets dissolved from rocks. Effectively it's a renewable resource:

Whether breeders would be more expensive depends on their design. One that looks quite economical, according to independent engineers who evaluated it, is Moltex:

Options are what a "Pro" line differentiates from a "base" or "premium" line: that there are models with and without SD card slot (most mid-tier Android phones have SDXC btw), and models with and without USB ports (higher-end Android have basically more ports than a MacBook "Pro" at this point). Same with display and RAM choices, and especially the touch bar. But Apple only produces shiny thin and thinner notebooks; nothing "Pro" about them.
Thank you, great comment, excellent points.
I'm not discussing here nation-state certificate ledgers vs my small miserable blockchain, but instead an instance of a federated (say, XMPP) network server vs blockchain based solution. From my point of view, on this level, it provides more security and, what is more important , incentives to run such a thing.

Argh.. Those old, technology illiterate politicians at it again, init?
When I tried using Uber in Tokyo, I was only able to call a licensed taxi through the app, which was incredibly expensive. The one time I actually needed a taxi (in a tiny town in Tohoku) I had to walk around hoping to physically hail one (getting a SIM card that can make phone calls is apparently very difficult in Japan, so I didn't have one).
I can think of a few benefits, even if it takes longer: you may need to do something similar again and now you have the script, you've gained experience and you might right the next script faster, correctness.

I think correctness is the most important one. Even if a manual task is quick, ensuring that you do it correctly and exactly the same way for all 30-50 things is extremely tedious. If one out of those 50 subdomains was behaving differently and you needed to investigate exactly why, that could quickly erode any time savings.
You can use BSD sockets through the regular POSIX I/O API (read, write, select, etc.). I wonder if the same holds for Network.framework sockets and libdispatch I/O? Are they composable?
That's odd. I recently prepared an xps15 with Ubuntu 18.04 for one of my engineers moving from a Mac.

I don't recall having to tweak the touchpad in any way. I did need to install the correct nvidia driver and use nvidia-prime to default to the Intel video card for best battery life.

I moved to an xps15 over a year ago and am really pleased with the transition. 17.04 and up have just worked for the most part.

The occasional issues that arise usually take deep technical understanding to solve, but that's a price I don't mind paying to have an underlying set of tools and libraries based on Linux.
Oh, I really like your reply, thanks for that.

I remember clearly one day when I was about 10 yo, I was walking to school, and there was that question poping in my head about what I really wanted to do, and there was only one reply in my head -> programming computers. It felt so totally cool to be able to do that. Note than nobody in my near, middle or far social circle was involved, but I was an avid reader that I've read about it, and I thought it was fascinating. That was 'calling' to me. Hasn't changed.

Funnily enough I also 'graduated' myself to electronics the last 10 years, and I've tinkered with cameras, and watches... One thing I'm seriously looking into is to get my first 'project' pinball as well. Bring it on ;-)
> And then I installed Arch

It's so cool to hate on Ubuntu, but it's the best desktop linux experience. You did yourself a disservice.

What shines for linux is the package manager as a 1rst class citizen. I've had all sorts of issues with `brew` and no issues with `apt`

I was sold when I read this statement:

"We have business decisions made by business people, and technical decisions made by technical people. While we are accountable to fulfill business needs, business does not dictate our programming languages, tooling, technology choices, or even how we spend our time. It is common for engineers to solve technical annoyances on our own."

Individual contributors are empowered to make decisions. I am a recent hire and our team has been mob programming because we decided that was the best way to move forward on a legacy project. We are free to choose when to pair program or work individually when we deem necessary.

I cannot imagine going back to following orders from the highest paid person in the room. This is a true meritocracy culture.
Nonsense. We know the new Threadripper was running on air cooling. We know whatever Intel showed needed more than one horsepower of phase change cooling. They're both monstrous chips, but not even in the same ballpark.

250W << 2 horsepower
Agreed. Pre-Wayland, Linux/X typically needs to treat all your screens as viewports onto a single virtual screen, which of course has to have a single DPI.

This is a more common use case than some folks might imagine. My laptop screen is HiDPI, but as soon as I plug into a projector or screen sharing device that acts as a second display, things get realllllly weird: Linux/X does not know how to dynamically change screen DPI without logout/login. I work around it by just running my laptop screen at "low" DPI. I don't miss it TBH; I suspect that many people who do notice it have better eyesight than me (possibly an age thing).

Wayland is supposed to help with this to some extent, but it's not yet ready for prime time.
I hope this is not your usual standard of thinking or argument.

At what CO2 level in the atmosphere would land-based vegetation go extinct? should one take this into account when designing or advocating massive mechanisms to remove CO2 from the atmosphere? once you've admitted that some CO2 level is good for the planet, why and how do you determine an ideal/target level?
The problem is you expected an Arch Linux laptop install to "just work" when you were new to desktop Linux in general. Linux really isn't a "just work" desktop OS and it caters to power users. You might try Ubuntu as your first Linux distribution, but you will be continually frustrated if you expect a fresh Linux desktop install to fit like a glove.
I agree completely. Even on a HiDPI screen, I couldn’t believe how bad Avenir and other great fonts looked in a Windows and Linux browser. Although, the Retina display may be spoiling me, I checked some work on an older 27” iMac, non retina, and it looked pretty bad also.
My site is not using an CDN and faster than forestry.io.

Mostly due to the fact that its 2 statically resources than can be loaded in around 0.3 seconds.

Foresty.io can load the HTML and the CSS in the same amount of time, but then another 8 megabytes of JavaScript and imagery follows.

Optimizing for ping time is premature optimization when website obesity is the elephant in the room.
> "Sounds illegal, or at least quite borderline."

It absolutely was illegal, and it was the first time in my life I ever hired an employment attorney (because of the way the company acted when I quit).

> "How so? That is, how does a candidate screen for this possibility in advance?"

Ask more probing questions about company culture, workflow processes, and whether any particular things are mandated or enforced.

Ask how the company handles diversity and what their goals on with staff of different backgrounds. Everyone will answer this with the same legalese insincere crap, but how they answer you can be very telling (e.g. are they very impatient with this line of questioning?)

Biggest of all: never ever accept a position that doesn't offer a very large severance package, usually in the range of 1 month of salary plus benefits for every 1 month of time listed in any non-compete, non-disclosure, or non-disparagement agreements, or anything like that implied in a company handbook.

If they aren't willing to offer competitive severance benefits, I take it as a sign that at best they want to costless restructure people at their whim without giving them fair compensation for the harm it would cause them, but at worst when they run away from severance, it means they take a top-down, dictatorship attitude to employees, and do not want anyone having any degree of bargaining power to disagree with how they are behaving (e.g. like outright religious discrimination).

Sure, some companies are earnest and just don't want to budget for the severance. But the cost of incorrectly rejecting them is OK, compared with accidentally ending up in some place where you have to keep your head down when there is rampant religious abuse going on.
Your impression of how depression works is incredibly harmful, please stop repeating it. It's not a "just feeling sad for x amount of time" and it's not hopelessness. It's very frustrating as someone who is suffering from depression/suicidal thoughts to finally have the courage to talk to someone about this, only to be told to cheer up. Or go outside more! Or whatever.

Your statements just help perpetuate those types of responses.
As someone who's tried, that's bullshit. It was about escaping the unbearable pain. That's all it was: running away from an agony so extreme it encompassed every aspect of existence.
And HTTP/2 further reduces the benefit of a CDN for small assets (vs. no CDN), since requests are asynchronous and multiplexed, giving you better performance.
First, you have to have somewhere to go. Most people don't and so they stay at the same spot until retirement.

Somewhere can mean anything - a career improvement, or benefits like child care. Maybe even a team that clicks with religious beliefs. In some cases it's money.

More often, it's a kind of experience one longs for. Maybe you just really want to make a game or a CRM. Maybe you just want to enjoy traveling the world on company money.

Second, you just measure how you're going along this path. Ideally your job will take you there.
You didn't mention abstinence...that's the problem. I was arguing against your claim of contraception "go[ing] against our very nature as living beings". Contraception is not going against our nature...it's the opposite, as it allows us to safely satisfy our biological urges. On the other hand, something like abstinence is definitely "against our very nature as living beings".
The hasher in the standard library is defined here:
https://github.com/apple/swift/blob/master/stdlib/public/cor...

with some explanation for where the seed comes from here:

https://github.com/apple/swift/blob/master/stdlib/public/cor...

Within that code you will see references to Core which by default is this:

https://github.com/apple/swift/blob/82226642c2459c0f5d2054fe...

So you can see the hash function itself is deterministic given the seed it is initialized with. And the seed is generated at process start time during static initialization in C++ so it is effectively a constant for the lifetime of the process.

You can see in the code that there is a way to make hashing fully deterministic by making the seed generation not use random numbers, but it is ill-advised for a variety of security reasons.
I should have elaborated on that section. The fact that I use almost none of the native software is a negative for me personally because the native software used to be a reason for me to pay the premium price for an Apple laptop. I used to use iTunes, Safari, etc. But now that I don't, the inclusion of that software in the cost of the laptop is largely a waste to me.

It's definitely a very personal opinion though, hence my disclaimer at the beginning about my complaints being hard to generalize.
They will pry my MacBook pro out of my cold dead hands!
Calling it a "race" is really strange. They're not trying to build the first supercomputer, they're trying to build the fastest/most powerful supercomputer.

For instance, let's say China gets theirs out first, but the US releases one several months later that is substantially more powerful. Did China win the "race"? Or did the US?
100% agree, I'd put the blame on the Fed before Trump, Obama, Bush, or Clinton. If I had to choose it would be Bush for being president when TARP was passed but really the blame there falls on the Congress.
Not to mention how unpopular this is with his evangelical supporters (which is to say, 80+% of all evangelicals), private prison companies, etc.

This won't happen, this is the kind of thing he throws out there and walks back or just forgets about. He gets the benefit of giving someone a moment of "hey, thats pretty reasonable!" that might stick with them, despite the fact that there is almost no way he'll maintain that position or ever do anything to achieve it.
The deepest reason why JavaScript frameworks exist
