That's my hope as well, as soon as I saw the iFixit report on the silicone cones on the keys I pulled the trigger on the 15" i9 32GB RAM 1TB SSD and I love it. This throttling issue worried me a lot but after the fix I am seeing it not fall below clock [0]. I came from a late-2013 which was a great laptop (though I know the 2015 was the sweet spot, I was going to upgrade to that if the 2018 didn't address my top issues but it did so I went for the 2018).

If you were smart you could encode multiple views into a single pixel to get a higher resolution, but then I figure that would limit your colour depth availability.
To be fair, most of those other laptops aren't made by a company that's famous for meticulously stressing details and restricting hardware configurations so that consumers won't need to research or worry about internals.

The PC vs Mac hardware dichotomy is best summed up as, "Apple gives you less choice so that they can exercise more quality control."
>considering any laptop from 2006 or 2004 would have been slow as molasses in 2012, and total garbage today.

Not if you put an SSD in it. Core 2 Duo is an acceptable processor. People seem quite surprised to learn that their slow pc is caused by disk io saturation.
Show HN - Incrudable : A library to create CRUD tasks for redux based apps
All the boilerplate for writing thunks/epics was killing my productivity.

So I wrote a little library (https://github.com/ryansukale/incrudable) that has a bunch of utility functions to automate the task of creating thunks or epics(depending on whether you use redux-thunks or redux-observable), when provided with a restful route configuration.

It took me about a year of thinking about how I wanted the library interface to be like so it wouldn't feel opinionated and wouldn't have a steep learning curve. And this is what I finally came up with.
Yeah, exactly.

>so I feel even -more- pressure to give my child everything she needs and wants because I don’t want her to feel as alone and unwanted as I did

This is a tough one because I think how we parent is super-strongly influenced by our experiences as a child. I think the keys here are to make sure she knows that you love and support her no matter what and that's as much of a given as that the sun will rise in the east AND to support her on doing things for herself.

It's one thing if you're there to provide encouragement or a bit of help doing something vs. telling her to get it done and walking away. She'll learn the least from having everything on a whim or you doing everything for her. If the answer is "no" discuss why. Be fair and not capricious. Kids are smart. They know the difference between a parent that doesn't care and a parent that's setting limits.
It feels to me like the first incident should be covered and the second one should not. It doesn't seem fair to keep relying on insurance when you know you have a problem.
Fair point, a poor choice of words on my part there.

The admonishment is the structural way technological progress screws over poor and vulnerable members of society and proactively detracts from society's well-being.

If the kiosks cause people to lose a job and, say fall behind in rent, then they create homeless people or bad educational outcomes, or any of the other consequences of poverty.

If we want to continue our 35 year old preposterous cult of imagining everyone who is homeless are really just lazy versions Jeff Bezos who don't apply themselves, then we will continue to get the same results having that approach has generated.

It is empirically beyond any reasonable doubt, demonstrably conclusive to be a highly dysfunctional and patently incorrect approach to structuring a society. Sure, let's have kiosks, but let's also prioritize not having profound disruptive deleterious harm to society in the process. There's consequences and costs to all of us for our negligence, incompetence and irresponsibility.

Those who continue to advocate for ignoring this reality are controlled and blinded by their passions and preference. It's terribly wrong and we are suffering the consequences.

Billy McFarland's Wikipedia page [1] is an entertaining read.

My favorite part of his story: "federal prosecutors in Manhattan said that from late 2017 to about March — months after Mr. McFarland had been charged ["with wire fraud in relation to Fyre and Fyre Festival"] — he ran a company that sold fraudulent tickets to exclusive events like the Met Gala, Burning Man and Coachella. In one case, the authorities said, two customers flew from Florida to New York for the Grammy Awards, only to be turned away at the door" [2].

Right now we only have our hosted version, but we'll offer an on-premise/vpc version of OneGraph down the road, with some auto-integration for existing GraphQL servers as well that'll handle this exact use-case, and should be pretty magical.
Oh really?

I never really considered that. Perhaps it'd be profitable to actually use that capacity for something when it's idle...
The intention of my post was to look at the announcement dates as possible relation to the roll-out of new CPU capacity within AWS, which may tie into the retirement of older capacity and compute types. If we had that information, then you could answer some of the questions asked surrounding the deprecation schedules of HW in a DC the size of Amazon.

Specifically as it relates to the resources required to provide the same compute power for any given pool of instance capacity.

I know for a first-hand fact that AWS will not reveal its compute capacity, but in conversations with them, when we were actively monitoring the availability and continual use of all spot prices across every region, we had the data, according to them, to infer what their capacities were.

We had the data at the time, but not the interest/need, to be able to surmise ballpark compute capacity across all instance types in the spot pools - which is to say, what AWS' spare (i.e. non-fully reserved/dedicated) capacity was, and what the demand was for it. Additionally - we could have also bee publishing AWS' hourly revenues, dammit - I wish I would have thought of that - as people would have been interested in that data...

It would be nice to have a way to just clear the drawing without randomising all the settings. That's how Weavesilk works. There should be a seperate "Random" and "New" button.

Also sometimes the Undo button just doesn't do anything and gets stuck highlighted yellow. I'm not sure how to "unstuck" it and get undo to work, so instead I have to refresh and lose all the settings.

> Drop in a 1TB SSD for ~$200 and you're good to go.

O_o ...For some reason, my mental model of SSD rates was stuck in 2014 at $0.50/GB. As I type this, my laptop is busy moving a VM image over to the NAS to free up some space on my 256 GB SSD.

But no, according to https://pcpartpicker.com/trends/price/internal-hard-drive/ and https://pcpartpicker.com/products/internal-hard-drive/, you can indeed find SSDs at $0.20/GB (the low end being currently dominated by Crucial MX500 drives at $0.18/GB). Looks like it's long past time to upgrade!

In the US zoning laws are an early-20th-century creation, initially ruled unconstitutional but eventually unleashed by the Supreme Court in 1926 under the cover of police power. [1] However police power was not conceived so broadly at the time the first 13 States consented to the US Constitution (zoning regulation would have been seen as covertly taking one's property without compensation).

As for elections, they are not unusual; the crux is what kind of powers are properly delegated by the electoral body to people in this local/city government? unlimited use of zoning laws for any purpose?

Very interesting read!

I disagree intuitively with his "Rebuttals".

1- he claims its hard to know the value of land. It is not: there is a big market for land and you can absolutely appraise it.

2- He claims they are regressive, and puts two examples: a young man in a mcmansion vs an old man in a bungalow. Well, the old man is taking more space than the young man. It is most obvious in a place like the bay area where 6 figure salary people live with 2+ roomates while old timers have a single family home and pay reduced prop taxes.
His second argument is that old people that have homes would be hit most by this tax, and that is bad. I say hell no: they have a house they can sell. Why does a 19 year-old minimumn wage worker pay taxes to subsidize an old person that has a home?

3- Ideologically he introduced also the issue with the capacity to pay. Of course taxes have to be payable and counter-cyclical, but that is not fixed by a sales tax or VAT which is super cyclical. Second, the payable part implies that taxes have to be levied based on capacity, not on value. So its ok to not tax a poor robber, but it is ok to tax a rich productive person. This ideology seeps into the previous argument of "old people dont produce, so they shouldnt pay taxes, while young renters do produce and should pay taxes".
I mentally added a comma between “on-site NAS” and “Google Drive”. Might be wrong.

> Are these middleware components that someone else is supposed to package together into something useful like a platform? The other bits lead me to think it's a platform of sorts in itself. So, why the talk of middleware?

It's intended to be usable as a single installation with the option to install individual parts. The textbook case is Build -- you can get things done with or without it.

> Are these reusable components supposed to be packaged in a higher level system? It sounds like that but other parts of the page suggest it's a platform to use now.

I think a bit of both. The joke I've made is that if Kubernetes is IaaS++, Knative is PaaS--. It's usable as-is, it aims to provide a common set of primitives for shared concerns, but it can also serve as a base for higher-level systems. The Project riff team, for example, have pushed some of their efforts down into Knative.

> In my experience they like shorter form ones (there are numerous tools making that possible).

Mine too. My personal view is that Build (and before long Pipelines) will be the main entryway to Knative.
You might be right but I think that's entirely beside and irrelevant to my point, which is that with money, you have a greater capacity to effect change of any sort than without. Including in terms of prepping for the apocalypse.
Shouldn't there be performance testing for common tasks (rendering video) like what Dave2D did? For a company like Apple that has a lot of resources, wouldn't it make sense to have that department that does just that, performance testing on specific apps. The testers can just focus on Apple software for ex (iMovie, Final Cut) and they could have caught this "bug" earlier.
It dependa on how they presented it. If they didn’t say clearly it was an ad, or a sponsor, I think they should be held responsible.
Why would anyone put a high end laptop on their legs while doing a prolonged intensive task such as video rendering??

> The original Macintosh was a huge failure. Really slow, 128K of RAM, and no hard disk.

When I was 12 in December 1984, this was my family's first computer (at a time when every kid in the entire neighborhood seemingly had a Commodore 64, Apple II or IBM PC). With absolutely no overstatement, it was definitely one of the single most important events to ever happen in my entire life, as I had never had my mind blown in such spectacular fashion before (hint: I'm a programmer now who enjoys UI design). To put things in perspective, this was the computer I was most familiar with prior to the Mac: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Commodore_PET Prior to the Macintosh, I wanted to be a doctor. After playing around with MacWrite, MacPaint, Microsoft BASIC (including some 4-voice synthesized music generation), some early groundbreaking Macintosh network games such as MazeWars and NetTrek... It was pretty clear to me I wanted to be a programmer, because at the time, all of this was completely amazing and unprecedented.

I respectfully submit that I think your measurement of "failure" is flawed.

The current Build design allows for a relatively straightforward extension to use S2I as a BuildTemplate. You can see other examples here: https://github.com/knative/build-templates

That said, it’s reasonable to think that Elm should have had a 1.0.0 release by now.

If we look for examples of similar bunkers, there are a couple military sites but nothing (AFAIK) that's been inhabited long term.

> It's one thing if you're there to provide encouragement or a bit of help doing something vs. telling her to get it done and walking away.

The former is definitely my approach. I never just dump her into a situation and ignore her, nor do I do everything for her. For example, cleaning up around the house is a joint effort. And arguments and power struggles are always followed up by reconciliation and reassurance that I still love her despite us being angry at each other.

My biggest struggle is not knowing whether a punishment or correction is too severe (because all of the ones I received were), so I tend to be more lenient in a lot of situations where maybe I shouldn’t be.
