I'm digital nomading with my wife, and we both agree that this is the happiest point in either of our lives.

No doubt it requires the people nomading to be very compatible with each other and both individually compatible with the lifestyle. I could see it being difficult without the company, unless you just settle in some place long enough to make friends, which is really really more like moving than nomading.

We have one suitcase each, with more clothes than we need, and one decent laptop, camera, and phone per person.

We definitely want to head home to visit family and friends about twice a year, evenly spaced.

But from my samples size of 1 (or, 2), I recommend it very highly.

I have a similar situation to yourself. Honestly I have found that working environments become "soiled" for me over time. I try to constantly mix up where I am working in my place or get out of the house to a coffee shop to work if I am not focusing. Keeping s good rotation of these work spaces has been a huge boon. Often times I work from the couch in the living room, take a break, move to the kitchen, then end the work day in bed without the TV on. Eventually I will probably move back to working in my office but since the new WoW expansion has come out my office is no good for productivity.
I also recently switched to an orthonormal ergonomic keyboard and I'm having a very hard time going back to typing on non-aligned qwerties.

That’s what dealerships would like you to believe, but my local OSH can make chipped keys in minutes. Programming them generally only requires access to an already programmed key and youtube.
My 6s might as well be dead, with each os update it runs slower and slower... now just scrolling the screen lags to a level that makes it mostly unusable... thanks Apple.
There is a new feature called "Pin To Drive" which would have likely foiled most of this "attack".

I just preorded a new iPhone XS to replace my pixel, but I think I have to agree.

The iPhone 5s was the first iPhone I ever bought and the experience was simply magical. The phone itself was so beautiful, and the operating system just gave it this unbeatable cohesion.

I hope the iPhone XS can replicate at least some of that feeling, and I'm willing to let it. But I'm also skeptical of that.
Not so sure, Apple have made it clear they’re done with Touch ID, they’ve made enough points that Face ID is way more secure. They would look a bit stupid if they went back on it now and re-introduced touch

I am surrounded by people in an open plan office but I do not work with any of them - all of my team are remote and in different timezones by 5 or 8 hours so there is often only 1 working hour overlap. I can literally go an entire working day where all I physically say is "thanks" to someone holding a door open for me.

I'd much rather work from home than be surrounded by what are essentially strangers. Working on globally-distributed teams sucks big time. No chat or video calling can make up for that. Sometimes I am not even sure if anyone is even noticing/using the things I am working on - it's like I am just doing "busy work" and often wonder if anyone would realise if I just stopped working at all. It is a deeply depressing and lonely experience.

Luckily for me I am happily married and get a lot of energy from spending time with my wife in the mornings and evenings. I dont know what I'd do without that.
> Nothing in Breitbart seems that extraordinary to me.

That's your problem right there. If your understanding of the world, history and your reading comprehension are such that Breitbart looks normal to you then I'm afraid I am out of options to convince you of the opposite, you will have to do some catching up.

We are talking about the same website I hope?

It's a non stop orgy of emotional button pushing with a complete lack of balance with respect to the reality on the ground. It's quite possible to lie with facts by selectively leaving out facts that support counter examples and those things that do not support your worldview. Breitbart is apparently good enough at this that it can convince people like you - able to string together a couple of sentences with more than two syllable words in it - that this is normal.

So, maybe it is possible that an intelligent and decent person subscribes to Breitbart, but it would require stretching 'intelligent' to the point of abstraction and 'decent' would not enter the picture by my definition of that word. Most decent and intelligent people that I know would be more than capable of seeing it for what it is: outright manipulation of public opinion for political purposes, so blatant that it is surprising it works at all.

If you feel it is normal then that is your problem, especially if you consider yourself to be intelligent and decent. Personally I like my news diet to be solidly grounded in reality, not a carefully made selection of facts to support certain political bumper stickers such as 'white is good, black is bad', 'immigrants are bad', 'America is great' and so on.

Remember too that history has a way of not looking too kindly on those that felt that obvious aberrations were perfectly normal and decent, when in fact all they were justifying was their own bigotry and biases. Time to figure out which side of history you want to be on, good luck, you'll need it.
All I can say is I wish I could do the same. I feel caged in an office, too, and in theory I'm more productive at home. On my good days, I am definitely more productive at home than in an office, but I wish I had more of those good days. I'm just too distracted by the Internet.
I was an actual admin for C2 once. I'm talking about the original software design.

Yeah, it's archived now. But it's essentially the same software but doesn't... even credit the concept of wikis in any way? It seems quite bad to not credit wikis in any way here.

Why did they name a keyboard with no escape, no arrows and no function row a "hacking" keyboard?
That's kind of reductionistic. Most liquor, cars, technology and clothes are sold as coolness. I agree Apple leans into it heavily, but so do Samsung and Google (although less effectively). I don't think coolness is all of it.

I've talked with a lot of people about why they stick with Apple. Why the pay so much and then pay even more money for accessories. No one really has a compelling answer they just shrug and say "it's what I've been using" or "I'm bought in."

I think people are aware of the ways their being nickeled-and-dimed, I just don't think people care enough to switch. And I kind of don't blame them.

Switching ecosystems is a lot of work. If your whole music library and playlist collection is on Apple music, exporting it to Spotify is time consuming and confusing, you may not even know you can do it with a tool. You'd also have to learn a new OS, re-buy any apps you've previously purchased. It's a pretty big hurdle to switch.

PayPal has been doing this sort of thing for years. I had a very beneficial relationship with PayPal in the early 2000's using them for both personal activities and business activities.

When they launched their service to function as a website payment processor, I made use of that as well and it was fantastic.

Then ebay bought them and and they were no longer interested in providing service to anyone that they deemed to be undesirable.

Over the years since then, anyone doing business through them could wake up one day and find that they were the next company / interest / whatever that they decided they didn't like and the story was all the same: held funds, lifetime ban, no discussion, no debate, no recourse.

While it's unfortunate that this particular group of individuals have been targeted by a bunch of jerks, this is known behavior of PayPal as a company. The long and the short of it is that anyone doing business through PayPal is doing business on borrowed time from day one, and it's been that way for over a decade.
Reread my comment, as I don't know what you are referring to.

I never said bikes are better in every way, or even more efficient. Actually, I think a well designed motor vehicle could easily beat a bike in efficiency, particularly for common diets, but it would be smaller like a bike. E.g., a motorcycle could be better.

My argument was that old technologies aren't necessarily bad and that motor vehicles are nearly as old as bikes, so the age argument also applies to cars. I don't disagree that cars have benefits.
It's super clacky, there's no key travel, and it's hard to blindly feel the edges of the keys. There's also no escape key.
There was a study 4 years ago regarding weekends--specifically, why do the unemployed also experience greater emotional well-being on Saturdays and Sundays, if they have basically free time any day of the week? It turned out that having a designated day (or days) for time off is a "network good"--felt by the entire network because it allows for more coordinated time together, all things considered.

"Increasingly, however, people are looking for individual time off when it is individually convenient. But personal flexibility can be a double-edged sword, the researchers found.

"Time flexibility is good for an individual, but it is bad for groups," Young said. "To make the most of modern life, we should search for temporal coordination – to work at the same times, and have time off together."

it's hard to gauge opportunity cost, since architectures fade in and out of popularity and patterns succeed where the frameworks that introduced them fail.

I doubt Rob Pike and Ken Thompson would give up the experience of writing Plan 9; its lessons persist in Go and other systems they've designed. Google's tech stack was pioneered by systems programmers who built their career writing for supercomputers, forced to target commodity hardware.

Patterns have a much longer shelf-life than their originating products.
This title seems clickbaity to me. Didn't the author lose about 5 minutes of work they did 12 years ago, and not the effort resulting from continual work over 12 years?

I'm Jewish but not religious anymore, and I know a lot of people that keep Shabbat that talk like this.

Frankly, I don't buy it. If we have a problem with detaching from technology, then, stopping all usage of it only one day a week is maybe 90% as unhealthy.

It would be like saying you have a healthy relationship with smoking because you don't smoke at all for one day a week, but after that you can chain smoke 24/6.

Now, I definitely don't think that social media/technology/<modern_thing> is nearly as bad as smoking. But if we accept the premise that maybe we're using it too much, then I think it's delusional to believe that stopping it for just one day a week is going to do anything substantial.
We used HJSON as the config file format for https://github.com/capitalone/checks-out and it worked out very well. It's a shame that it hasn't caught on, because it fixes the warts in JSON in an elegant way.
Wife and I see similar things while working remotely. Some people have a hard time not referring to what we're doing as "vacation."

Even wife's boss of her formerly in-person, now remote job praised her for how much time she spends online/connected, even though she's just strictly keeping a normal work schedule. We both view our jobs as having the exact same responsibilities as before, just with a flexible location, but I guess some folks might have a hard time not inferring some slacking off or other drop in productivity.
Because the escape key heavily used by VIM was placed there since it used to have the position of where the caps lock is currently located. Hence all elite users map the escape key to the caps lock key. As far as the arrow keys are concerned the keyboard used for the original vim had arrow keys placed on the keys h,j,k & l. Which is what real hackers use to navigate apparently.
Now matters quite a bit to me. I'm unable to predict the future well.
That is the problem with depending on a third part service. Even if it was a company that you paid for the service, at some point they might not find it profitable and close down the service or company.
It is mind boggling to me that both Google and Yahoo have thrown away their finance sites. It's utter garbage. And on the phone, Google Finance is even worse. They don't even use the same site or the same behavior, even though I'm pointing to the same URL. It's insane. Why would they completely disregard finance? Are they really not able to make a profitable site using ads?

Very interesting. I used to work on a huge Forte4GL program (think in the million lines of code range) and we thought about using traspilers (even had some quotes).

But it was the same old bad code, traspiled.

We looked for better solutions, my opinions and my boss's diverged, and last I heard, they're manually transpiling into Java at a multimillion dollar cost. It's a Java engineer employment program though.
Can you explain China's social credit system? This is the first I've heard of it.
The 2015 was the last of that body style, so it has the latest "guts" (CPU etc) with the previous keyboard and ports (USB-A, HDMI, Magsafe). Plus, with the non-mechanical touchpad, there's room for a slightly larger battery¹.

Well, some of the Protestants do still observe the Sabbath (generally anything with 7th Day in the title). Those that observer the Lord's Day are not quite as strict about it.

The freedom of Christianity is that Jesus has done the "good things" on your behalf so that your standing before God is not dependent on your own good works.

The corollary to this is that you want to do good because of your love for Jesus.
Does iCloud work for you? icloud.com has an online iCloud Drive, if that works on your work computer then you might be able to upload files to that.
Was anyone really using this feature? Even the author sounds like he wasn't actively using the feature. He entered some data 6 years ago, and went back today to find it was missing.... He didn't even notice until almost a year after it was removed.

Keeping every feature around, even the unused ones that look like failures, is a bad idea.

> He didn't do some fancy hack of the car as if he could walk up to any Tesla anywhere and steal it.

That makes this all the more concerning. You can't social engineer technical support to give you a new keyfob in a time that would be practical enough to steal a car.

And in fact, if he could socially engineer his way into one car, he can do it to all of them.
I'm the founder of Nacho Analytics, and I can confirm it's 100% legal. Love the question, though.

We're not hacking into anyone's Google Analytics account or intercepting their javascript tracking - it's legit. It's a patent-pending process, and when you sign up we do load an analytics account real live visitors to any website.

My favorite thing about software is that when you do it right, it can feel like magic - or in this case black magic.

I'm happy to answer any questions you guys have.
I am making an assertion of fact. If you refuse to treat it as such, that's on you.
Netflix might be overcharging you if you are a frequent traveller
I thought there might be other people like me on HN who travel a lot for work so I want to share my experience with Netflix's unfair charging policy.
I live in Turkey but I travel a lot for business and seems like I've created my Netlix account with Standard plan when I was in Poland 2 years ago. Today I have just noticed that Standard plan is 27.99 Turkish Lira in Turkey but I've been charged 43 Polish Zloty since 2 years and it is equal to 71 Turkish Lira. I wouldn't mind if it was a small amount but since the difference is quite big, I've contacted customer service for a refund but they refused to return the extra money I've been paying and I'm told that there is nothing they can do to compensate this unfair charge which is quite disappointing to me.

So, please check where you created your Netflix account if you don't want to be charged unfairly.
They even have round corners.
yup. I will never know what this product is.

2015 MBP 15" retina has the older, more reliable, keyboard, magsafe power, decent CPU and adequate GPU, HDMI, 2 mini-DP, regular USB 3 ports.

You could go older but there's no need unless you want a DVD drive. And you'd sacrifice CPU performance and maybe memory capacity.

Alas, it seems the Apple official Refurb store sold the last of their 2015 MBP models earlier this year. The earliest ones I see now (in US/UK/HK stores) are 2016 models.
If one is going to plug into a US 220V outlet with an adaptor, then you're talking about adding back something like 180 miles range in 8 to 12 hours. Stealing such a car by driving it to a port city for shipment overseas would be a huge pain across most of the US. You'd at least need to tow it or haul it on a flat bed, unless you already lived in near a port city. (San Francisco and the Bay Area are fairly close to Oakland.)

> constant, gnawing sense that you might not be doing things good enough

While that is a very common feeling, Christianity at it's core, is supposed to be an admission of inadequacy. "As a human, there is nothing I can ever do that will be good enough."
I read the 1st line of the description as:

Junior creditors frequently receive more under an ABC than they would under a bankruptcy. The reason is that any creditor can preempt an ABC filing by petitioning for an involuntary bankruptcy in federal court. To avoid an involuntary bankruptcy, the senior creditors are usually willing to let the trustee make compromises when settling with junior creditors.
Agree, though everybody with an SE had better put a case on it as they become increasingly irreplacable :(

This is why my iPad Pro has a hard case instead of just a smart cover. The whole reason I got the damn thing is that you can write on it with a stylus, but somebody at Apple decided "Let's make this not lay flat on a table because people are buying a tablet to use it as a camera."

The only thing I've ever taken a picture of with it is probably a whiteboard.

With "Continuity Camera" or whatever it's called (1-click to take a photo with your camera and automatically import it into a program on your Mac), this becomes even stupider. Take the camera bump off and do that with phone to iPad. Everyone has a good camera on their phone already.

Exactly. My sunday starts at 0300, when I relieve someone who worked the graveyard shift from saturday. I'll sit at a desk in a darkened room all day just in case a phone rings. I'll probably be on HN commenting on some article, but I have to be at that desk. Cops have to be at work too. All the nurses and care providers, airline pilots and air traffic people, all the hotel operators ... the only reason anyone can safely stay home on a sunday is because legions of other people do not. I'm fine with the concept of a day off, but we shouldn't attach religious meaning to something not available to everyone.
It's an iffy example, since many people consider 'could care less' to be incorrect.

Some informative pointers I hadn't seen elsewhere, about adapting layout to accommodate the notch. Note that the CSS snippets seem to be in Sass (using nested selectors).

Personally, that notch just makes me sad, and I probably won't bother thinking about it unless otherwise specified by client request.
