The midwest is an underrated area of the US but unfortunately the lack of diversity makes it hard for me to live there. It's a hard area for certain cultures to live in.

edit: not sure why I'm downvoted as my wife lived in the midwest and it was hard for her to practice her culture. She has fond memories of the area but knows how unpractical it was for her parents. Her family had to make a monthly 1.5 hour drive into Chicago to find Indian groceries, she got picked incessantly for being the only Indian kid in school, and her parents couldn't eat out because there so few options with vegetarian food. It's just hard living in a place where so few people have a similar skin tone, religion, or culture as you which is why most Indians move out of the midwest. People make fun of the racism of the South, but I grew up in a diverse metro in the South and didn't have to deal with any of this since about 25% of my school was Asian. Obviously, Chicago and some of the other large metros are ok. I'm just pointing out that in all these threads there is this argument to "move somewhere else" but there are huge regions of the country many have to rule out because they are ethnic minorities.

How making a new OS achive this? What kind of problems Fuchsia could solve when Linux can’t solve?

I personally hope Fuchsia would remain as an experimental project. A new non-GPL OS by a big player like Google is a bad news for hardware dev and enthusiasts from XDA. This will make hardware driver developments more fragmented and closed-source.

Smartphone manufacturers are trying to hide their kernel and device drivers, even they are using Linux. Imagine there are no legal restrictions to hide those.
Although I agree that flagging (at least your top-level comment) seems a clear abuse of that system (which appears only to have been "acted upon" in a purely automated fashion), commenting on it in-thread (especially without a link to the original, for interested parties ;)) tends not to help.

I believe the encouraged best practice is to e-mail hn@ycombinator.com to call the situation to the attention of the moderators. Even if they don't completely agree with your position, I suspect they will at least have a user or two's suspicious flagging behavior to keep under observation and/or revoke.

The thing is, by not building housing and allowing rents to skyrocket, San Francisco has pushed out most of its culture. The steady exodus of artists and musicians has by and large gutted the Bay Area's culture.

Nodded in affirmation to everything but this. NIMBYism is everywhere. In my hometown of St. Louis, people oppose everything for the same two lame reasons every time: traffic and parking. They oppose buildings in busy areas, in blighted areas, in single-family areas, in business districts, in areas that have been contracting for five decades -- everywhere.

And the mantra is always, "but what about traffic and parking?"
If your customers want an i9, be more honest with them.

Exactly. We accepted (or endured, but it wasn't a mystery) the DDR3 limit of 16GB in laptops for years after the desire for more arose.
This is the part I don't understand. Apple has been pushing for thinner and thinner laptops on the Pro line, when all I want is a laptop that can run a workload without throttling immediately, a good keyboard and a reasonable battery (that's the one thing they still do well, considering the legal cap on battery sizes).

This is totally my personal opinion, but the MacBook Pro 2015 was the perfect laptop. I still use one as my main driver, and I'm agonizing on what my next (long overdue!) move will be.
Yes, Tokyo did it. Rent for a 1 bedroom apartment is like $1000/mo. It's a huge thriving mega city with affordable housing thanks to zoning that's managed by the national government.
Mildly disagree. If a NIMBY houseowner (along with everyone else in the area) agrees to change the zoning laws and allow high density housing, that only benefits the houseowners who sell their land and move on. Everyone else could _possibly_ see their house value drop because of increased supply and sprawl.

But it's a slightly worse deal for these homeowners because a potential developer could tell them "hey, why don't you sell to us while prices are high? Once we're done building, prices will fall"

I'm not defending what these homeowners are doing, but I disagreed with the notion that they're not behaving rationally. IMO, they are.
Nice to see a Go implementation of this. I did the same back in 2008 in C: http://blog.jgc.org/2008/02/tonight-im-going-to-write-myself...

I tried using Weasyprint ~9 months ago, and really wanted to like it. But lack of features meant it couldn't render my (not that complex) page properly. So I switched back to wkhtmltopdf.
It's also pretty trivial to run the program. Maybe it's different in other projects, but I'm pretty sure in OpenBSD you're encouraged to actually test the code, not just ship it because it compiles. There's 2 programs in OpenBSD's base that don't abort on the pledge call failing, they're both shells, and they don't fail quietly.
Yeah, although I think they missed an opportunity to move beyond "only C goes" mindset at Khronos.
I've been wondering why so many Bloomberg articles have been on the front page recently, maybe in the last 3-6 months. This OP seems like a good example because there has been coverage of Fuchsia from more technical sources for awhile and I doubt the Bloomberg article adds much. Or is the change in frequency of Bloomberg posts just a misperception on my part? I don't have any data.
I have no doubt you'll get flagged at some point. I felt the same way before I even knew they would close my account. It didn't matter that the account was created in the 90's or early 2000's or that I had been a prime member for years or that I was spending around $10k a year there. They even kept my prime payment and didn't refund it. It's just a game of chance with their systems. You simply will never know what you did that triggered them but eventually, I think many prolific Amazon users get their accounts closed. Never mind that all the returns/problems are because Amazon carries fake shit, garbage products, and lately, won't even attempt to deliver packages with their shit ass Amazon delivery service (those assholes should all be fired). This is no doubt why Best Buy is flourishing.

As far as the roads situation, a lot of people confuse that phenomenon with induced demand, which is likely incorrect (and very hard to prove, even if it is correct). The much more likely scenarios is that because roads are underpriced (we don't make people pay their full costs for use), there will always be unmet demand. If people were paying $8-15/gallon for gas (approximately what the unsubsidized cost would be), it would be much easier to build a new road and actualize the intended effect of reducing congestion, because you wouldn't be trying to catch up to pent up subsidized demand.

> misplaced to rail against Apple as if this is a design flaw. That's how this CPU will perform even in a completely different form factor without sufficient cooling

Isn't sufficient cooling a design decision by apple?
The only reason why I still vastly prefer a Macbook for on the go (and I'm still using my late 2013 model) is because the touchpad is just unmatched anywhere in the industry. My desktop is Linux, but that's because I don't need a touchpad on there. When I'm on the go, I don't want a crappy trackpad and I don't want to carry a mouse with me.
Oh yeah. When you get flagged in their system it’s pretty brutal. But you have to be extremely malicious to have it happen to you. Especially if you have a strong background with the company (member for many year + prime member for many years). Not only will they black list your address but every address on the account you own, meaning if you sent your friends a gift from amazon they will not longer be able to use amazon anymore. They go above and beyond for the abusers of the system. But to be flagged for that abuse, it typically is extreme circumstances. You can be very liberal with their return policy as long as you’re not malicious you’ll be okay.
I was in the market for a laptop last year. My choices dwindled to the 2017 MBP and Dell XPS 13, due the price increase and reviews of the touch bar I decided against the MBP. And due to quality issues I also decided against the XPS. I ended buying a 2015 (or whatever the previous model was) MBP and it's been working great. Seems in hindsight like a solid choice.
Hah, haven't been to Albany for about 10 years. But I definitely remember seeing them a bunch back in the day.

The new 4C/8T T480's are incredible, they get about the same work rate as the 7700HQ in my T470P with about half the TDP.

Outside of that you are into the P range which are deathstars (Xeon's in a laptop...).
Meanwhile I'm going to keep writing code that does stuff, and avoid labeling it.

Purity is useful in places, but serves no purpose if complicated enough that I can't explain it to my team.

FWIW React is a nice enough library, JSX is the first and only angle bracket UI design system that I like (sorry XAML), and it all works well enough with comparatively little ramp up.

I'll let other people argue what the proper abbreviation to describe my code is.
>I’m saying the development of a model that yields scientific progress doesn’t have to have a connection to the parent comment’s proposed definition of interpretability

Let's say someone used a neural network to predict planetary positions as a function of time, mass and so on. They made a network with several hundred parameters, trained until it stopped converging and published their final state vector.

Would that ever lead to gravitational theory?
Best Buy also has a much nicer return experience if you have an issue with your purchase.
But, also in theory, cost of living drives competitive salary, which in turn drives whether a company can afford to hire employees in a particular city.

So if you build more housing, cost of living goes down, which attracts more companies to the city who were priced out of the labor pool before, which increases jobs in the city, which attracts people and increases housing usage...
The cooling problem is Apple's but the heating problem is Intel's. In my mind this is more evidence of the need for Apple to simply produce their own chips.

> By definition you can not declare war on something not another country because you will be attacking the country those people are in.

Declarations of war identify an enemy, they don't (inherently, though they could also do this) limit the geographic area in which forces of that enemy will be attacked.

> Imagine - I know this is a tricky one - Russia intervening in North Dakota between two rival bike gangs. The United States would see this as an act of war against the USA, and rightly so.

Yes, but that doesn't make declaring (or prosecuting) war against non-state actors impossible, it just means that prosecuting such a war will either require cooperation of or conflict with other states.

That's often true with regard to third-party states in interstate war, too, whose territory is often violated (or, in some cases, the entire country occupied, as the British did to Iceland in WWII) without declaration of war as part of prosecuting a declared war against some other state.
This can help fight one aspect of fake news. Unfortunately I think this is a back and forth game. We stop one avenue and they just find another. The technology here is specific to identifying images that have been edited in an effort to make them fit the narrative (so to speak). I'd love to see (and look forward to seeing) some of the ML work that's being done continue to be used in other cases to help stop fake news.

If Fushia/Flutter gets adopted, it would be a better outcome than MS botched effort with universal desktop/mobile apps. The fragmented tooling and support was like it was made by sales/marketing types rather than engineers.
That’s only true of external debt. I.e. debts owed to other currency areas. Government debt is just the number of funds from the currency originator (central bank) to it’s distributor (treasury). Both institutions are a subject of the nation state, which is controlled by the government. So it’s not a “debt” in any colloquial sense of the term, neither is it an intergenerational transfer, since the souvereign nation state is an institution that both creates and enforces it’s own currency... which by definition implies it can create as much money (“debt”/“credit”) as it seems fit.
That would explain their Juicero investment.

Yes. You'll need ONE (1) adapter. Iff you want to connect to the office's projector.

Or they can leave an adapter at the office, along with the projector's cable, and everyone can get to use it.

The complain was about being "full of adapters", not about having to use a single adapter under specific requirements...

My $2000/$3000 laptop needs a $30 adapter to connect to a projector is as "first world's problems" as they come.
For perspective, that's 4 olympic swimming pools worth of water. It's not a small amount but it's not enormous as far as volumes of liquid goes.
Yikes. That sucks. I’ve heard once your account is flagged there is literally nothing you can do to use Amazon anymore. Can you elaborate on how it happened to you and when? I am pretty liberal when it comes to returns but I don’t use the system unless necessary.
Why do you abbreviate USSR that way? The first I assumed was a typo, the second makes it look intentional.

I do not see how that tracks from either the English translation, the original Russian name for the country: "Сою́з Сове́тских Социалисти́ческих Респу́блик", or the transliteration: "Soyúz Sovétskikh Sotsialistícheskikh Respúblik".
Northwestern Medicine in the Chicago suburbs has a mobile stroke unit; if there’s evidence you’re having a stroke, they’ll send the stroke unit along with the ambulance and will perform a CT scan in the ambulance to determine what type of stroke you’re having and administer interventions while you’re en route to the ER.

Yeah it is only an issue if using mixed DPI. I set the font scaling in Gnome 3 to 1.5, and everything handles it fine - even IntelliJ scales its fonts accordingly.

If you can match your external DPI to the laptop that would also work (but it's sort of an awkward DPI).

The hiDPI is nice for your fonts, but for working day-to-day I don't really notice it much.
In the Bay Areas case I would put a definite yes. Specifically our city actually has a very normal amount of growth (there are many cities with higher amounts of growth that don't have enormous growth in housing prices). We absolutely have enough space for all the demand and induced demand if we raise restrictions of height and density to small European city levels (think Porto or Vienna not NYC or London). As much as we think there's a lot of jobs and growth in SF, it's actually not that high an amount.

Also I think you might have the reasoning for why people come here off. I think most people come for jobs. As an engineer the main reason I live in Bay Area is for the jobs, not for the beauty. There are plenty of more affordable beautiful cities, they just lack technology jobs.

The scam industry: How the hip-hop boom sets hopefuls up for failure
I guess that's really the issue then. If you're familiar with the properties of these processors then you will not be surprised about the thermal complaints. If you aren't then you will be surprised. No it's not worth $3000 but it's also not possible to get the most out of that chip in any environment without a physically large cooling system. I think people who buy it because they want to be the kind of person who buys a $3000 laptop will be happy with it. The kind of person who wants $3000 performance would be better off buying something that isn't a laptop.

> I have USB-C to A, USB-C to that bizarro USB B BS 2.5 external hard disks have, USB-C to lighting, and USB-C to HDMI. End of story, no adapters to carry. YMMV.

You listed the four adapters you have, then said "no adapters". :) Just because the adapter is more than 3" long doesn't make it something else. You still have to buy it separately and carry it with you. When a machine has more than just one kind of port, you're freed up to use whatever standard cable is already connected to the projector, or came with the hard disk, or was included with your phone.
When reading these articles, never forget that your company is NOT Google! If your company doesn't have a management/infrastructure/communication/skill structure that Google has, then it will be very difficult to implement these fundamentals.

In many cases, an SRE is a job to save costs. If your company doesn't get its shit together and doesn't give your SREs the support it needs, then they'll hate their jobs and the company.
Just an FYI, Best Buy sells appliances as well. Not sure if every store lets you take them home right there though.

While its still not the same as a Macbook, there are some good touchpad options on the Windows/Linux side. Dell XPS, Surface Book etc with Windows Precision touchpads are pretty decent (I've tried it on my co-workers laptops at work).

Personally I have been very happy with the touchpad on my Thinkpad with the libinput drivers under Wayland.
I haven't had a bad return experience with Amazon either though. Way more pleasant and hassle-free than other online retailers

This is a common swing point though:

PM: Make this change to the site

Backend: that would take 2 weeks to make sure it doesn't break anything

Frontend: That's a tiny change! I can do it in 2 hours

Frontend makes the change. Along with the next several. Overtime, the backend team uses the lessened pressure to overhaul/replace/refactor to decrease the complexity. Meanwhile, Frontend is starting to accumulate a collection of unrelated exceptions to the "normal" flow to meet demands. Eventually....

PM: Make this change to the site

Frontend: Um...that would risk all sorts of complications. Consider it a few weeks to make sure it doesn't break anything

Backend: That's a straightforward change, I can do it in 2 hours

And the pendulum starts to swing in the opposite direction...

Crystal controlled clock speeds are thermally dependent too (upwards of 40ppm) - they're just compensated for via dedicated circuits to bring that down to the 2-3ppm range.

Which raises the question - are there 'el-cheepo' motherboards out there which don't use thermally compensated oscillators?
