Well, they fired Scott Forstall a couple of years back. I really think its because a COO is now the CEO and the biggest concern for the Mac line is maximizing profit margin in the supply chain by producing older models or making questionable quality affecting decisions. Operations running your company seems to be worse than Marketing. I miss Product People.
PPAs tend to be for Ubuntu only, and is not meant for other Debian-based distros. Ubuntu and other distros will be pegged to other libraries, and mixing libraries on an OS is not a good idea.

If you really want the updated package, I would recommend compiling from source.

EDIT: I should point out that have a valid point that if you want to run up to date software, Debian is probably not the Distro you want to use. Ubuntu is a Debian based Distro that tends to have more up to date software. However, I like using Debian as I rarely need the most up to date software, and I have never had an update go bad on Debian.
Try npcap https://nmap.org/npcap/

Loopback Packet Capture: Npcap is able to sniff loopback packets (transmissions between services on the same machine) by using the Windows Filtering Platform (WFP). After installation, Npcap will create an adapter named Npcap Loopback Adapter for you. If you are a Wireshark user, choose this adapter to capture, you will see all loopback traffic the same way as other non-loopback adapters
It can be done - kind of. Take a look at how the drm-next-kmod works in FreeBSD. It's a port of Linux GPU drivers using linuxkpi - a Linux kernel API compatibility layer, basically a huge set of wrappers to implement Linux kernel functions, eg printk(), using FreeBSD mechanisms (printf(9) in this case; https://svnweb.freebsd.org/base/head/sys/compat/linuxkpi/com... for the curious). Part of linuxkpi uses code transplanted from Linux, and that part does that that by living in the Ports Collection, like any other third party software.

Of course this prevents it from being committed to FreeBSD base. But from the user point of view it doesn't matter - it's just that you have both linuxkpi.ko and linuxkpi_gplv2.ko loaded automatically when you load i915kms.ko, which is the "real" driver, and there's no license compatibility problem.
The danger here is that it's easy to get sucked into doing tech stuff, and not focusing on directly revenue generating things. I see so many people spinning their wheels with "free" things when low cost subscriptions would save them hours and hours and hours of effort.

>After returning from a year long maternity leave I found it difficult to juggle my new life as a mom working in the confines of a 9-5, I also came to the realization that the corporate life just wasn’t for me and became very unhappy. I was tired of faking it and really just wanted to follow my forever dream of doing my own thing and being my own boss. So, I did what anyone would do in that situation and got pregnant again ;) ... Knowing I had another year-long maternity leave on the horizon, I started brainstorming e-comm business ideas.

This doesn't sound good, basically kickstarting a company on another company's money.
Because 'sense' and 'language' don't often overlap.

Long ago, 'woman' was 'wifman' which meant something like 'one's wife'. And 'wif' meant 'spouse', gender neutral.

Now try to convince anybody today, that 'woman' can mean either partner in a marriage. Its not used, today, anywhere close to that meaning. Nobody will be on board.

We've got to move ahead from where we are, not where we're 'supposed to be' by anybody's rules.
Considering that China immediately retaliates against the US by putting a tariff on their own food supply I doubt they care about US dependence at all. After all they are the ones with the big trade surplus that refuse to play fair and they are using the surplus on strategic investments on critical infrastructure to increase US dependence on China.

We'll see how 2018 compares. Look at the chart and you can see that it's not a straight line, it has ups and downs. I see no reason at all to assume that it's trending downward for the next few decades to erase the increase seen over the last century.
Funny you mention fearmongering after

In the long run, not funding infrastructure has the same effect as killing it.
Actually, Apple had too much product diversity and one of the things Jobs did was to simplify the product lineup and make sure that each product counted.

Apple have maintained a relatively simple product lineup when it comes to the computers, the problem is that they no longer know how to make products that deliver where it counts.

(Of course, they do have boneheaded products like the dead end stovepipe Mac Pro, which completely misses the point of what power-hungry users with generous budgets need, but it appears as sort of a tradition to have the odd boneheaded computer to satisfy the egos of designers. Given the past history of Apple I think it is safe to say that high end users have never been a great priority)
> ARP was replaced by neighbor discovery protocol.

Would you be happy if we renamed NDP to ARPv6? Or is your suggestion that we continue to use ARP and put a more-than-four-byte-address into a fixed-size four byte field?

> Broadcast was replaced by multicast.

So, in IPv6 you can only send packets to a small subset of recipients, whereas in IPv4 you could address a packet to "every IPv4 device on the planet"?

Or are you suggesting we should misname multicast in IPv6 as "broadcast" just as we did in IPv4 in order to solve which technical problem exactly?
Apart from some steep farm/dairy tariffs, what are the huge tariffs that other countries impose on US exports?

I thought the gist of this whole debate was that the US administration somehow thought VATs applied abroad somehow made US products less competitive and therefore was in fact a tariff? I do realize this sounds too dumb even for the current administration so I may be wrong.

> "PJ: That is the one thing that actually makes it look slightly scammy... like Nike's not like we just sold a pair of sneakers."

I do have to disagree on this. This is them trying to increase the "social proof", proof that you are making a solid choice in buying this item. Nike doesnt need to do this because everybody knows nike, and feels that they are good shoes worth their money.

Showing proof of other purchases increases that proof, and you are more inclined to buy it. Of course this all assumes legit "soAndSo bought it too" messages
It seems like a useful thing for someone (the "government"?) to develop would be a some sort of standard simulator interface that can also be used for regulatory purposes. It's not perfect (It would be something of a cat-and-mouse game to prevent companies from just reverse-engineering the tests and companies like VW would drive really safely in the simulator but then unsafely in real life so they can go faster or whatever), but at least it would be safer and cover more scenarios than real-life trials.

It should be mandatory for all self-driving car (system/software) vendors to publish their test plans and all test logs for public to review before the car/software are allowed to be on the public road.

It likely allows everyone to learn from all the mistakes and improve the process for the whole industry - similar to the passenger airplane safety record improvements learned from every single accidents/crashes.
It may be unpopular, but I agree. I held off as long as I could, but finally ended up with a 2017 MBP. It works fine. I like the keyboard feel. It is a bit noisy though, and I worry about failures, but good so far. USB-C means I plug less into the computer than I used to. The dongle situation is a bit overblown. My 2014 MBP already had special cables for mini-display port and a dongle for gigabit ethernet.

I am annoyed that Apple cannot seem to just do simple upgrades though. Not every release has to be some out of this world new design.

> hibernate and trackpads working properly

I haven't had any problem with hibernation on Windows laptops - quite the contrary: MacBooks don't have a visible "I am powered on" indicator once closed, which means that if e.g. some Chrome tab or whatever random crap keeps the system awake I only notice it when arriving at work, pulling the MacBook out of the bag and having a superheated mess with empty battery in my hand.

The trackpads on the other hand... haven't seen any Windows trackpad manufacturer that combines:

- decent size (=2015-era MBP)

- decent materials (=the metal/glass combo that Apple uses, instead of black plastic that grows INCREDIBLY nasty looking after 2 years)

- decent functionality (reliable gesture recognition without having to worry at buy time if the included touchpad is Synaptics, Elantech or Alps, or a knock-off)

- decent placement (=at surface level like a MBP, not 2+mm recessed which invites dirt to accumulate)

- can tolerate wet/oily fingers (yes, I admit, I am one of those typical nerds eating pizza while working)
China also gives us goods far below what we could produce them for which lowers our cost of living. Complaining about China stealing $300b (I'll use your number because it doesn't really matter) in IP is like complaining about high school kids stealing Adobe CC - it's a theoretical loss, they weren't going to be a customer regardless. Tariffs don't even do anything to prevent IP theft
I agree with you that tariffs can be good for nascent industries. If these were just tariffs on things like computer chips, solar panels etc then I think there would be a valid argument.

Dairy, Steel and Aluminium are not new industries, tariffs are not to help these grow and become long term viable.

The replies to your comment seem only to focus on ways that this type of safer vehicle differs from the eventual commercial traffic use case.

But who cares? It still seems like it would be valuable to collect many millions of simulation hours and eventual live testing hours with far safer vehicle types first, at minimum just as a proof of concept and a prove-out of the appropriate testing and evaluation infrastructure (e.g. we’ll probably be a lot better at extending the audit process that evaluates autonomous golf carts into an audit process for common cars than we would be just jumping straight to auditing cars without ever having audited anything else).

In fact, it seems irresponsible to not prove out the entire end to end ecosystem (from simulations to live testing to auditing to a commercially approved deployment in some limited scenario) using a much smaller scale application and vehicle type.

I can understand the arms race motivation for cutting corners and jumping straight to the widest use cases on the part of corporations. But I can’t see why society would want it handled that way.
>Just play enough clicker games until you realize that "progression for progression's sake" is nothing but an empty dopamine hit.

That might be clear for you, but it's not for everyone. The way the OP describes his motivation for gaming sounds extremely similar to people with gambling addictions.

Self-awareness isn't enough for everyone. Some people are just wired to respond to that dopamine hit from progression systems in an especially strong, self-reinforcing way. They need more help and one of the first steps to that is endorsing more ethical game design that doesn't go so heavily into building addictive feedback loops.
There's an update buried at the bottom of the article. Ton Roosendaal tweeted[1] that they sent Blender a contract to enable monetization.

He put the contract up for review as well:

That's a subjective judgment. What's fact is that

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epidemiology_of_motor_vehicle_...

> This makes motor vehicle collisions the leading cause of death among young adults of 15–29 years of age (360,000 die a year) and the ninth cause of death for all ages worldwide.

> It is estimated that motor vehicle collisions caused the deaths of around 60 million people during the 20th century,[6] around the same as the number of World War II casualties.

Approximately 1% of all deaths are in car incidents.
I think at times it’s difficult to separate imperialism from economic dominance. Sometimes these things are due to economic might (for example Brazilian Portuguese is more influential than peninsular Portuguese, however, Brazil is hardly the imperialist in this scenario)

Is it imperialism or economic influence which might make an edinburger accent more prevalent in Scotland?

They could also find a few places where synonyms can be substituted without sounding weird, a few places where a comma is optional or can be replaced with a dash, ... much more likely to survive a journalist doing the responsible thing and retyping the e-mail.

For example:

His {stated, claimed} motivation {is, was} that he {wanted a promotion that he did not receive, did not receive a promotion he wanted}. {In light of, Given} {these, his} actions, not promoting him was definitely the right {move, choice}.

This can be detected by people comparing two e-mails, but the unicode trick can often be found just by looking at one of them, so I wouldn't say one is more stealthy than the other.
I think I might be missing the sliminess here. MS invested time and money to build software and is offering it for free. As part of that offering they are bundling up the software to the point that you can just download it and run it. In exchange for this they want to be able to collect usage statistics so they know how their software is being used. They are also giving you the option to download the software from source and build it yourself if you don't want them to see how you are using the software. This all seems pretty fair to me.

fwiw, I grew up in Miami, and I 100% thought that me and my friends did not have an accent of any kind whatsoever ... because for whatever reason, there weren't really a lot of people born and raised in miami in popular media (at least that I was aware of, days before Pitbull, etc).

Well, I moved away to central florida (very different demographics) at 17 ... and it wasn't until a few years later when I went back to visit, that I realized just how distinct (to my ears at least) my friends sounded. Nowadays, I can hear someone start to speak, and within a few minutes of listening can tell that they were raised in Miami. It's a few subtle clues that thus far have almost always been right

Ask HN: Contributing to open-source UX/UI without great programming skills?
I've used various open-source software packages for years, and now I'd like to give back by contributing in some way. I have an advanced degree in human factors engineering and real-world work experience in cognitive systems engineering, UX, and UI design. However, I'm not the best programmer -- I program a little for my day job, but it's mostly for data analysis. Interface programming isn't my expertise.

Is there a way to contribute and improve OSS design without relying explicitly on my programming chops?
That's bullshit. You simply don't know what I'm talking about and your better-than-thou attitude is insulting.
I wasn't expecting such a positive feedback also. I could help with a few logos.
In this case oAuth is more because we have multiple products, might have done without it for just one, but it somehow seems to make more sense to have a separate system with isolated human data anyway, what with GDPR and all. The actual application has only the user UUIDs, can null or pseudoanonymise the references as necessary. This is B2B so slightly different rules apply for auditing etc.

And yeah, obscurity is not security but is useful in itself. Smaller attack vector (can’t leak info by iteration) less competitive info leakage (you’ll never figure out how many customers we have unless we tell you). Also has advantages with regards to database replication, backup restore and sequence management, but that’s another topic.

From the outside looking in, that might as well have been "But I honestly don't see anything radically distinct among Uber/Lyft/Curb". Just different groups trying to build something based on the same idea. Even if the core concepts are similar, it's very much the case, as always, that execution is everything, and each group is invested in making their own solution win in the market.
With MMOs it might be the melding of an addictive feedback loop with actual socializing. Most WoW addicts I've met seem to have pretty tight relationships with their guildmates or in-game friends.
