T480s is great. (I think I got my config for around $1600 with deals -- i5 8250U, WQHD, 16GB RAM, 512GB SSD)

You could opt to get the IPS 1440P panel instead of the stock 1080P TN Panel (I'm not 100% positive if it's TN or IPS).
I think 8th gen i5 is sufficient for daily dev work.
The laptop keyboard is pretty decent compared to other brands (Dell XPS, HP Spectre, MAC, etc).

It does come with some flaws due to Lenovo's very bad quality control.

When I ordered my T480s, I had to exchange it due to very bad backlight bleeding that was worse than the normal circustances.

In terms of weight, it's pretty light, and is pretty good for travelling.

One of the other drawbacks of the T480s is that there is no official hard-shell casing. Honestly, I have no idea why some Thinkpad users have ideas against having a case on their Thinkpads, but I think it is totally viable to get one, as it would prolong the lifetime of the laptop unless you destroy it pretty hard.

I would opt to get the non-backlit keyboard, as I have 0 use cases when it comes to backlit keyboards. I think it gives a more sticky key feel to it as well.

Overall, I think T480s is a great choice.
Pretty much ethics. If there's anything that's being done or offered that wouldn't be affording to random public joe then think very hard about why it's being done.

For some things there's a good reason, for others it's reasonable to ask why a specific timeframe? Why not 5% more, or 100% more.
Ugh, sorry, I was in a bad mood. Sorry for my comment. Your feelings are valid, I was just being a dick.
I think we've had too few antitrust actions by governments.

Also, companies in a position of monopoly or near-monopoly in any market should not be allowed to buy out its smaller competitors, either.
I don't have a summary offhand that would be better than anything you can Google up, but this post by Sean Carroll explains the issue and details one possible answer: http://www.preposterousuniverse.com/blog/2014/07/24/why-prob...

It doesn’t seem this would mske a diff: exports outside of China would not be affected (indifferent) imports into China would still require this regardless of mfg origin.

Their only option is to not sell in that market —which seems highly unlikely.
Thanks for finding that. I remember reading this in the book, and immediately thought of the anti-poaching deal Google, Apple, Intel, Adobe, etc had with each other. It's identical to the activity they were found guilty of... He actually recommends you do this.

When he suggested collusion with other companies, I realized the book may have some bad advice in it.
What are the gaps, in your case?
Hard to have no snark. You've provided zero useful input on how to deal with this, and expensive lawyers with more school than you disagree that what is done now is not sufficient.

> Obviously demand is way outstripping supply

You're right that people are willing to pay more than the current face value, but we shouldn't take the scalper prices as the fair market value either because the true demand is dramatically skewed by a group whose only goal is to raise the price to the highest number people will pay, and they do that by reducing the supply. They can buy hundreds of tickets and only list a few at a time.

I've paid $500/ticket before, so I'm part of the problem too... but sometimes we do unreasonable things when we're unreasonably big fans of a particular band, comedian, performer, etc. There's no easy solution, but it would be cool if there was a way to offer reasonably priced tickets to true fans.
Possibly. For our use case (300 users, 900 projects), it makes Pages a non-starter. And the upside would be to move almost all technical documentation from SharePoint to GitLab, which would make the platform significantly more sticky than it is today.
1.) Requirements sometimes come in batch, but even then the following discussion and clarifications take weeks and months - depending on size of project.

2.) If your priorities are changing every two weeks, then you have no priorities. This is literally what management is supposed to avoid.

3.) The point was that employes are not aware they have priorities wrong. They are not asking, because they all assume they know what to do. Again, which is why you are supposed to clarify it proactively.

4.) If you have same sudden problem fifteenth time, then it is not change. If all of your projects end in crunch surprisingly and none of your plans work, you are doing it wrong.
I don’t have a real source, but the basic problem is somewhat straightforward. Suppose I have a particle in the state |0> + |1>. (I’m ignoring overall normalization.). After the measurement, the state is (|0>|I measured 0>) + (|1>|I measured 1>). This is a pure (deterministic) state.

It would be nice to say that there’s a 50% chance that I measured 0, but how exactly do you get that in a rigorous way from the state vector above?

To make everything complicated, the answer should not treat the experimenter part of the universe specially.
Yikes.

> With that in mind, the best way to deal with these situations is openly and transparently. Once the you become aware of the conflict between hiring the superstar employee and double-crossing your valued friend, you should get the issue onto the table by informing the employee that you have an important business relationship with his existing company and you will have to complete a reference check with the CEO prior to extending the offer. Let him know that if he does not want that to happen, then you will stop the process now and keep the process to date confidential. By speaking with your friend before making the hire, you will be able to better judge the relationship impact of hiring her employee. In addition, you may avoid making a bad hire as often candidates who do well in interviews turn out to be bad employees.

I'm not sure "open and transparent" is how I'd describe that.
Not really- it’s a decent amount but not crazy. You would have to be a contractor to take this up, and that’s quite a bit less than a contractor on say 500 EUR/day would make.
The dark side of this is how they damage the total sales in their "explorations". The actual performer doesn't get a cut. They don't get to know their market value, or how bad the pricing hurts the fan experience.
Ticketmaster has exclusivity on the infrastructure (venues) -- a rival service would need to create their own network of venues.
The biggest difference between 6.6 and 7.0 in the kernel is mostly that SMP is always enabled and 64-bit targets are first-class citizens. There are plenty of minor changes, but the kernel itself is very, very small.

There are plenty of changes to the userspace runtime, but the question was about the kernel.

Oh, also, 7.0 has an ISO 26262 certified variant. Not a technical difference, but an important one.
For new databases that I'm interested in, I generally check if there's a Jepsen analysis for it (https://jepsen.io/analyses) or whether it's being open-sourced by a company that's been using it in production for a while like Foundation DB (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16877395). In either of these two cases I would say it's well-tested. Otherwise, it's often hit or miss. Thankfully the number of new db products I've seen is fewer than the halcyon days of the MongoDB wave (2011-2014) and tend to be a bit more focused on specific problems that the db solves.
Don't bother, people who don't understand rhetorical questions are not worth arguing with, specially when they're driven by political agenda.
Interestingly (because the parent is about Schneier). IIRC Schneier argues against this.

The argument is that even if everybody has access to all information, only a small group is able to exploit that access effectively.

So, you still end up with a small group abusing their access to the information. You should therefore aim for privacy of sensitive information.
Do you have a recommendation?

It's for people who want the best 4k gaming experience. As shown in the benchmarks, at 1080p, it really isnt beating the previous cards by much. If you are the kind of guy who can spend a lot of money on a 4k monitor, you probably are going to want a card that can drive that. If you are only doing HD, then yeah, a 1080/1070 will be great. They charge the premium because they know nothing else can do 4k like the 20 series.
Here is Texaco-Chevron completely destroying the water supply in lago agrio in Ecuador and refusing to pay even after multiple judgements against them in a court they agreed to. [1]

Given this story you would think Bloomberg would be equally 'concerned'. But they are defending Chevron in that case which means they do not really care about the issues discussed. [2]

And this is not new. This has been happening for decades and there is a long culture of exploitation and decimation by any country that can get away with it perpetuated under cover of this kind of fake concern and selective outrage. Needless to say these problems won't be solved without a more sincere and serious global effort.

I don't find it particular simple or a good Lisp. I don't think it is a Lisp at all. It does not even know about QUOTE or basic list processing. If Fennel is supposed to be a Lisp, than the concept of 'being a Lisp' is meaningless.

Actually the best Lisps are those who are actually Lisp (actually implementing the particular syntax and semantics of Lisp) and not a transpiler to another language. This other language leaks on all places.

Fennel is neither a Lisp nor a good learning environment for Lisp. Fennel is actually some kind of Lisp/parentheses-inspired layer on top of Lua. That's nice but not Lisp.

There are a lot of small Lisps which make learning Lisp much more easier. Start with any small Scheme implementation and that's much nearer to Lisp than Fennel will ever be: s-expressions, list processing, evaluator, code as data, macros, data representation, tail/recursion, procedural abstraction, first class functions, lambda calculus, etc etc. There is a lot of excellent material in the Lisp world to teach that. There is even material how to do useful things with that. None of that applies to Fennel. It does not do list processing, its code as data is weak and Lua leaks everywhere.
(Minor point: I absolutely agree it was a well-directed and shot film! My only issues are on plot)

Its not factually incorrect whatsoever, you just don't like it. Autism is a mental disorder, no question about it--you even made the point by calling it a "cognitive disabilty." Cognitive meaning "relating to, being, or involving intellectual activity" and disability being obvious. Calling something a synonym of itself and arguing that its a completely different thing is pretty obtuse.
I think it could even tolerate more than $1/year. I shell out money for anything I find useful, and I like evernote, but $4/month is insane for what it is -- considering all of the alternatives. I'd easily pay $1/month though, maybe $2/month if it really became important to me.
Maybe the books aren't banned enough in your region to qualify :)
Some more (constructive) feedback: way too much text. The design of the landing page does matter (even for developers :) some of us at least). There should be a better way to convey the message.
If input text is used to train/update a model, would the input text still be needed after the model has been trained/updated?

Would text from random documents or emails on the system improve the recognition of handwritten text by a specific user?
I'm not making that argument. I'm telling you how people who do make that argument think.

Like I said, you can call them ignorant on the basis that there's no actual long-term gain. But they believe there is, and that is why they support this policy, not because they really like shooting themselves in the foot so much.

I'm all for reducing meat consumption. But having everyone do a hard and fast rule: no meat whatsover, seems extreme. People grew up with different values and diets. Until we can convince others, I think we should be more accepting of others values and not force everyone to do it one way.
I mean, given the tone of this post and the talk of how important it is to run everything by the counsel, "not committing a crime that literally leads to the executives being jailed" is a pretty low bar.
I think frequently about buying puts but never pulled the trigger. It's so, so tempting because in cases like that, you are 100% sure that you're right, and in fact you actually are right.

The last time I thought of buying puts was a month ago when Tesla was at 350$, propped up by the "funding secured" claim. It was so obviously bogus and a sign of desperation. But I was terrified of buying an all-or-nothing lottery ticket, so I didn't. That one would've been a big winner and now I feel the pain of missing out. Hearing your similar Kodak story is useful to reinforce my resolve that I should just stay with vanilla investing strategies.
> A stock goes up when someone buys it and down when someone sells it.

this isn't true: to buy a share someone else has to sell it (with some exceptions)

in reality the price depends on what the buyer and seller agree (electronically or otherwise) -- just like everything else you buy

in general if demand is higher than supply the price rises, just like other markets
No problem at all and glad you find the candor useful. It is one of our company values to be transparent :-).

I also hear you in your concern. There is a flip side perspective to what you are saying as well where someone might be forced to uproot from their home which happens to be in a more expensive area because they would save so much elsewhere. But regardless of the specific arguments, what I have truly learned here in this thread is that we should continue the conversation in the community. I am going to sync up with the people ops org and suggest that we share our rationale in more detail in the near future and/or also incorporate the good points that were raised.

I do think it is amazing that GitLab brings these conversations to the fore because opacity has been the norm for way too long around comp and we need to change that as an industry and community.

The pitfall being that this approach only works with string arguments. Having some Ruby experience, I don't like any of the JavaScript DSLs using template strings for function invocation so far (like styled-components and graphql), and would rather just use macros:

I knew that you could get a free Apple Watch Series 3 if you hit certain targets. I emailed to find out if they were going to have the same offers for Series 4, but have not gotten confirmation one way or the other. I just got an email saying "we couldn't find you in our customer database, so we can't help you".

I'd love to be one of their customers, if I can get a Series 4 out of it. Not just to have the watch, but also the incentive to stay active.

EDIT: this is my most downvoted comment ever, and I have no idea why. I assumed others reading this article might also wonder if their programs apply to the new Apple Watches. Apparently I was wrong?
This industry can only exist because labels and artists are not willing to sell tickets at the market clearing price, since they would be seen as exploitative by their own fans. So they sell the tickets are significantly discounted prices, in the hopes that at least some of them end up in the hands of the fans, saving face but creating a niche for a super-sleazy industry.

The solution I believe is to directly engage the fans and include with the price of the ticket benefits that only have value for fans. For example, when purchasing a ticket the market price is $100, out of which $40 is the price of the ticket and $60 is the "anti-scalping deposit" that fans get back when purchasing from their account with the band's site. So you would get $60 back in your account that you can use to purchase items valuable for fans such as limited edition CD, merchandise or even other tickets in the future (this is a bit tricky since scalpers can automate it, but exposes them to a major risk of detection and loosing the deposit, unlike the automation of the single ticket purchase, which either works or is risk free).

Providing this service seems like a nice idea to build a company on.

> Cryptography isn't perfect; someone could always guess your private key.

Cryptography is a branch of mathematics, and cryptographic systems can be formally proved to have certain properties, such as being unable to derive the private key from the content of the encrypted message. That the private key can be guessed is a trivial observation, and a bad argument for dismissing formal proofs. ASLR is a hack on a hack that does not tell you anything about the formal properties of the system.

If only business was really that simple. Apple manufactures all their devices in China. Even Google and Facebook are trying to get back to the Chinese market now.

People within the industry expect China to win the AI race by 2030 simply because they have a huge data source advantage which leads to better results. It was not a coincidence that Google significantly ramped up their data mining activities when they decided to switch from a "Mobile first" to an "AI first" company. Why do you think Google and Facebook are suddenly willing to bend over to the Chinese government demands just to establish their presence there?

Once one person has flipped the coin, it seems wrong to me to say that an observer outside the box sees a superposition of heads and tails, simply because the person outside the box doesn't know the result of the flip. I don't think that a human's ignorance is equivalent to a waveform superposition.

This is true even if you replace the coin with the results of a quantum random number generator. The problem isn't that the coin is a macroscopic object (and therefore doesn't really do quantum superposition). The problem is that, once observed, there is no uncertainty in the output of the quantum random number generator. There's only human ignorance (for everyone except the one person in the innermost box).

And as I understand it, experiment agrees with me. You take an entangled pair of photons, observe one, and you know what the same observation on the other photon will produce, even if the person making the observation on that photon doesn't.

It could be that the write-up is creating confusion, or that I am confused, but something feels off here (and not just in a "that's too weird to be true" way).
This is a common paradigm in object-functional programming, as it further emphasizes the duality of functions and the data they return. Scala allows one to do this, however one could ostensibly pack a bunch of side effects into a method and call it this way. Stylistically, these situations are supposed to be differentiated. myObject.method() should be reserved for effectful functions, and myObject.method for pure functions.
Understood, then why did it help reducing the CPU load on rendering?
