Actually, it was as recently as this very week! Running with all the latest updates on a new Surface Book 2, I ran into a variation of this open issue: https://github.com/Microsoft/WSL/issues/1982.

That was only the last and final blocking issue I ran into, after a series of minor (or at least, not serious) problems that I powered through during too many late nights.

Couple of things:

- Hyper-V. Was excited for this and tried it, since I had already set up Docker for Windows and pointed the CLI tools in WSL at it. However, Hyper-V didn't appear to have any support for the "shared folder" concept that VMWare and VirtualBox do. Is your only option here to set up Windows share and use Samba?

- I dislike running VMs generally, but would have gone that route if I could have gotten a setup I liked. However, after reconfiguring everything to use VirtualBox (including Docker) and creating a single VM there to do Docker and Linux stuff on, it seemed to tax the machine too much (i5 8GB SB2). With a beefy machine that would have worked better, but Windows 10 isn't that appealing if I have to buy the highest-spec machines and run VMs... that's exactly where it was 5-10 years ago.

I have a lot more to say about WSL and Windows 10, and it probably deserves a blog post. I haven't returned the Surface yet because I'm kinda in love with it, but also if I can't do all my work on it, then it's not something I need to own.

Who are professional Mac users? These are the ones I’m thinking of off the top of my head.

- Developers

- Adobe Suite users

- Video Editors

- C-Suite Professionals

I think they abandoned video editors when they dropped Final Cut. So they didn’t care about those professionals.

Adobe Suite users is a large group of professionals. Photographers for one; Apple ditched the SD card port - seems like they don’t care about photographers. Illustrators; Wacom/tables all use standard USB style ports; and several other ports at the same time; like external hard drives or now, external video cards I guess. Less ports seems to mean they don’t care about people who use additional hardware. Musicians, Video editors, I’m sure I’m missing a few other “pros” who require external hardware.

The iPad Pro has that pencil thing; and maybe the adobe software for the iPad is good enough to do professional illustration and photo editing. Although i don’t know any photographer editing 1Gb files on an iPad Pro. They’re hard enough to edit on a MacBook Pro.

Who does the touch bar serve? Maybe it’s just because I’m in that demographic who doesn’t understand Snapchat - but I just don’t nderstand the touch bar. It doesn’t feel “pro” to me.

You can’t charge the Apple mouse while you use it. Somebody needs to explain that logic to me.

So all the Mac pros are really good at - is jobs for professional typists. Programmers, writers, emailers; but the new keyboards seem to be pretty poor at their core function. Typing.

It’s clear in my opinion that Apple doesn’t care about today’s professionals. Maybe they care about tomorrow’s. I guess I have to ask what problems is Apple helping to solve for tomorrow’s professionals - today? Wire problems?

Edit: added the iPad Pro, and Apple mouse
Additionally, iPhone has been their core focus for a long time now, and yet prior to the X, they basically shipped the same phone for the last 4 years. What have they been doing at Apple for the last half decade or more besides building a GCHQ replica?

Not at all.

Someone has to write all the software, and they're not going to be writing it on an iPad. Even with an external mouse and keyboard.

>My point was it's possible one wouldn't be able to maintain one's current standard of living if out of job and living on this future UBI.

The purpose of UBI as I understand it would be to provide a stable floor of income for people independent of employment. I think of it as being like a minimum wage - not high enough for a middle class standard of living, but hopefully higher than the poverty line. Enough to keep food on the table.

The biggest problem I've run into with React Native has been their handling of issues. Far too frequently I'll google an issue I'm having and click a link to a bug report that matches the exact problem I'm having and provides a repro only to see that the issue was closed for inactivity. Never mind the issue is still valid, and the comments on the issue will ask for it to be re-opened and the response is to open a new issue.

So then you start this goose chase of hunting down the current issue since it starts getting into this loop of closed, open a new issue, closed, open a new issue, closed, open a new issue, etc. And everytime this happens relevant information gets lots because its not transferred to the new issue.

And then you finally find the newest, currently active iteration of the issue and find out that its still not fixed and the workaround is to stop using the React Native version and re-implement the feature yourself natively on both ios and android.
I mean apple is primed right now to deliver the "phone dock to dumb terminal" dream. Get people to by the phones, pay for the cloud storage, and sell them a $900 "Smart Monitor" with bluetooth KB and trackpad.
Sadly, abandoned as of (I think) the rMBP.
Why should it be part of some restriction? Sounds like a sneaky way to get preferential restrictions. I.e. if they wanted to make it sound equal, they should have said "any software".
A few years back I was working with Titanium SDK to build apps in my spare time; so it was a pretty obvious choice for me to checkout React Native. It's pretty cool at first but once you dig a little bit deeper and try to tweak things here and there, add extensions, third-party frameworks, ..., the pain becomes very real.

In fact, I learned iOS app development using Swift & Xcode just to not work with React Native anymore.
upon reading the whole article, it is mostly true.

"mass dispersal" occurs when the population grows too much and the food runs out, sometimes it can be very directional, and sometimes they will pile up on the shore until they gets too packed and they try to swim across frigid waters.

That's not a loophole. It has a significant effect on the flexibility and participation set of initial fundraising. I would argue it reinforces the traditional VC paradigm that limits accessibility to the wealthy.
I have no issues with it. Macs may have a better trackpad, but there's absoultely nothing wrong with it. I'm using Arch w/i3 and use whatever stock settings there are.
When I say "examples" I mean training examples- a dataset to train (and validate) on.

From what I can see on wikipedia, the parameters of Cobb-Douglas are the value of goods produced, labour, capital, "total factor productivity" (as I understand it, everything other than labour and capital that might contribute to productivity) and a couple of constants. For an AI to maximise the output of the function you'd have to somehow make it possible for it to manipulate those parameters- to hire or fire personel, to spend or acquire capital and to somehow manage all those unknown factors that might be contributing to the output.

The question is: how do you do that? You can certainly collect, or even auto-generate examples of the inputs and outputs of the functions, since we're just talking numerical parameters, and find a maximum of the function. But for an AI to actually improve the productivity of a business, it would have to do a lot more than that. It would need the ability to manipulate those parameters directly in the real world. Otherwise, all it would do is calculate a number. Which is not that very threatening.

I smoke before cycling/running basically as a performance enhancing drug. It enables me to nearly instantly “get into the zone”. I noted every run/ride that I smoked prior to in my tracker and anectodally found I performed better.

Also 25 miles into a ride, a quick puff on the pen feels excellent.

I assume it both gets me into a good mindset, but also raises my heart rate quickly.
I think Apple's concern for Mac users is roughly proportional to Macs' share of Apple's revenue breakdown. Currently this is in the single digits[1].

I have a ton, personally, but if you've considered basically everything that has come out on this topic over the last 14+ months by people ranging from federal law enforcement to professors and independent researchers to be made-up stories designed to "push a narrative," then like the other person who replied, I'm not confident that anything I point you to would register in your mind properly, no matter what it is or how credible it is.

Ask HN: What calculator do you use on Ubuntu?
I've recently moved away from OSX and went full linux, not a painful decision since current MBPs are a complete waste of money. I have transitioned my workflow to ubuntu pretty easily and no issue whatsoever. But, find myself missing the calculator built in Spotlight and I'm looking for a replacement.

TL;DR: So, question is:
What program/tool/phisical calc/website(please don't tell me gogle :/) do you use to do calculations during your workflow?
I have a 64 core, 128gb, 4TB iMac Pro. Pretty sure that is “professional.” It even has an SD slot. Also has a 5k display and Final Cut Pro can edit 8k video. The “not caring about pros” tripe is ridiculous.
New Zealand has the coolest animals. The first time I saw a huge-ass Kakapo (flightless parrot thing) on the southern island it scared the crap out of me.

The text forbids parties (i.e., countries) from requiring source code disclosure as a condition of sale. It does not forbid persons (e.g., GNU) from requiring source code disclosure as a condition of sale. (It should be noted that it also doesn't forbid countries from tendering a contract proposal that requires source code disclosure in the contract).

I'm going a bit of a limb here in applying SCOTUS principles to how to read law, as we're not talking about US jurisdiction, but since Australia is also a common law country, I'd assume that the principles are basically the same. One basic principle of determining different interpretations is that you have to ask "is there a clearer way to write this interpretation?" If the intent of the treaty were to make copyleft unenforceable, the text included would be along the lines of "No party shall permit a person to require the disclosure of source code." Indeed, if you read some of the other articles in that chapter, there is actually text that says "No party shall require a covered person..." This does signal that there is intent that the text of Article 14.17 apply onto the government and not to the general public within a country.
"To code is to problem solve. You are trying to get X to happen in Y way using Z constraints. It requires you to see the solution to the problem first. Then conceptually work backwards to reverse engineer that solution. Then build each step on the ladder to reaching that solution. Oh — and do it in an alien language."

Reading this made me angry. Coding can be so much more than this.

We live in a digital world, and coding can enable you to explore that world, discovering things you never knew were possible. You can develop an algorithm that has some unintended side effect and opens a flood gate of ideas & creative motivation. Procedurely generated virtual worlds blew my mind growing up.

Creativity and coding are not mutually exclusive

Agreed, I was only addressing the part about collagen breakdown. Pressure cooking makes most sense when you don't change the medium of cooking, as you say, boiling bbq doesn't make much sense. Otherwise the principal is the same, apply pressure to prevent water from turning to vapor. When boiling a stew, this lets water reach higher temperatures without evaporating (breaks down collagen faster), in air convection it prevents moisture from evaporating and cooling/drying the food.
Right, it was so hard to use magsafe, keyboards with key-travel, non-touch screen laptops, and all of those annoyingly varied ports on the side! I think OSX and iOS should become the same thing so no one has to manage their own software - let's get everything from their appstore, it's wonderful! I'm also really glad they incentivize smaller hard drive space so more people decide to use their cloud offerings; cloud is the future! Also, anyone who liked the old non-reflective displays just doesn't understand graphics; a company shouldn't listen to all customers, just the correct customers. USB is a great example of where most customers are wrong.
Just want to thank you for your effort, you rock!
There's a crucial difference though: if a child decides they don't like living in a trailer park, apartment, or igloo, they at least have the potential to change their situation and live somewhere else. (And to the extent they don't have that potential– i.e. if social mobility is declining– we call that a serious social problem that needs to be addressed)

A child on a generation ship would have no such choice: you're going to live and die on that ship whether you like it or not. And that's at the very minimum. It's pretty likely that, to be sustainable, a generation ship would dictate your profession, marriage partner and number of children as well, with no exit rights. Forcing that life on someone with no say in the matter is pretty unethical.
I disagree. The strategic product development options a cheap low-energy fanless machine gives are enormous. For example, Apple could market it as a secure privacy-respecting home server against Google cloud services.
Relay Modern allows co-located queries with components.

I don’t understand your concerns about performance or security. GraphQL should only expose the fields you can fetch in a fast and safe way. Optimise the field lookups; not the whole query execution.

A deeply nested GraphQL request is no worse than a series of REST fetches.

Ah, this looks like the old ungetc() exploit, where (back in the 1980s at utexas.edu) we'd leave a process connected to a terminal, wait for another user to log in, then push characters to their shell from our program using ungetc(). Essentially, each character pushed ends up looking like a fresh input character to the other program. The basic issue is whether all open file handles that shouldn't be there (our hack program, for example) got closed out by the new login session. For something like login, the question is easy, ONLY itself should be connected early on. For su, it's much weirder, since the user may have created background jobs before running su, and su and sudo can't reasonably close all other handles on the original tty device.

Further su and sudo can't close all file descriptors of the "sub-session" as it exits, because that the "sub-session" is created by forking, so su/sudo aren't around at the end.

Creating a separate pseudo-terminal device to allow for draconian cleanup, and prevent even having both user IDs connected to the same tty device, seems like the best place to start.

Hmm, now I want to go update the user-group-setter program I use (which also can set auth user IDs on Solaris, etc) and try having it do ptty allocation for the subjob.

In the meantime, try this to get a session and run through the same demo steps:

setsid -w su - <user>

Won't for everything (no /dev/tty), but it does block the example. You can add a tty if you have one handy, too, by using redirection in the spawned process in this general form, but I don't currently have the cluon for how to create a /dev/pts/<num> from the shell level - if someone can construct the full command, I'd like to see it :-)

setsid sh -c 'exec command <> /dev/tty2 >&0 2>&1'
I would recommend building/maintaining a side project, and monetizing that.

The first part is pretty much what I meant. I don't see a problem with nested lists though. They don't need any special treatment. Let's say you use variable->metadata->listdata scheme where listdata is prefixed with a "user counter" similar to refcount but for metadata pointers. You can modify x[0][0] then, which may or may not need to decrement the counter and make a copy of [1,2], but [a,3] doesn't have to change - it points at the same list metadata.

Sure you can.

Either you find an native module like this: https://github.com/Polidea/react-native-ble-plx

I signed up for this the other day and so far really love it. Write a markdown/text file in Dropbox and within 30 seconds or so it's published as a nicely-rendered blog post. As someone who used Jekyll for years and got tired of running hosting and doing rsyncs etc, this is really nice for personal blogging.

The usability of the blot.im site itself is a bit lacking. You get a totally different UI when you're logged in, and the links to documentation on how to format your posts and what the different dropbox folders mean are gone. I had to open an Incognito window to find the documentation (spoiler: https://blot.im/help). The service is dead-simple to use and supports a wide variety of posting styles and formats.

Being a big shorter isn't for the weary.... Most will accumulate large losses until they go bankrupt or the freak black swan happens and they make 1000x% for the trouble (erasing the accumulated losses very quickly, if smartly positioned).

On the otherside, Bullish banks/etc will make small profits consistently for long periods of time on bullish bets but when the black swan happens, will lose everything they made over the years and more, to the shorters (in 2008 banks had record profits until they lost more money than banks ever made in the history of modern banking).

"But the striking thing to me is just how much smaller the Intel NUC is."

Add the volume of the NUC's hideous and ungainly power supply brick. Then make your judgement on size.

If you've taken a mini apart, you'd see that the easiest way volume could be significantly reduced is by replacing the space for two 3.5" drives with space for one modern NVME gum stick - a trick which the already NUC does thanks to its being developed more recently.

The mini has Thunderbolt and and digital audio in/out. The NUC has neither of these.

If you compare the interior of the mini and the NUC, the NUC does not stand out as an marvel of engineering or miniaturization.

Anyway, whose desk cannot fit a mac mini?
