If your web app is not too complex.

I really like to build self contained binary in Go.

All the code compile to a single binary file without any external dependencies. I put all my static files (html, css, js, imgs) inside this binary file using "bindata". If I really need a database, I'll use sqlite as a default (this could be configured to something else).

For updates, if you do not compress the binary file (upx), you can make a binary patch with "bsdiff"/"bspatch" (http://www.daemonology.net/bsdiff/).
There is a Go library to do it dynamically https://github.com/kr/binarydist. So your app could be 50Mb, but updating it would be as simple as downloading a 400Kb patch and applying it (software can do it).

For schema migration, I like https://github.com/rubenv/sql-migrate which can be used as a library.
Therefore, the migration can be part of the binary patch in an update.

So in the end, you only distribute a native executable file for whatever platform your customer is using.
What i really liked about it is that it allows you to phrase things as precise or as vague as you intend.

Is it possible to get some examples of this?
Memory is a funny thing. It's not anything like replaying a video again, where you see exactly the same thing every time. It's a process of reconstruction based on a much smaller set of data than a video.

Improving your memory definitely will help you as a programmer. For example, improving your short-term memory will allow you to write better code on a day-to-day basis because you'll be able to hold those complex details in your head all day, while a better long-term memory allows you to recall your past successes and reuse code from them.

Your memory will work best when it is reconstructing the events of a story, which is why mnemonic devices are so often constructed as a story (even if it's a nonsense story). You should try to memorize the process by which you developed a program rather than the exact lines of code that you wrote. This will enable you to essentially rewrite those lines of code as you need them, by following the same process over again. At this level it's more like procedural graphics than a video recording.

I think there's a video of Feynman stating this for math and physics. He says that you never memorize every single formula or physical fact; instead you triangulate them from each other. If you need fact A but can't recall it, then you use facts B and C that you do recall to point you in the right direction (which might be a proof, or a sketch of a proof, or key words for a google search, or whatever).
The main problem with wind is material cost. The steel and aluminium do not make themselves and turbines don't maintain themselves either.

GraphQL is just a query language. It has exactly the same problems in this respect as SQL - once a certain query from a customer that you never imagined they'd write works, it has to keep working, even if your underlying data model totally changes.
After about 5 or 6 years of abusing an electric guitar, learning from tab, you tube tutorials, general messing round etc. what it feels like to me is that now can guess from a note I hear, roughly where that will appear on the fretboard, and how it was struck - picked, finger, palm muting, and so on. I can listen to a riff and if I can get the first note or chord, I can work from there as I know a bit about what "next" note or chord will or won't work. You start out with a very generalised idea of where the high and low notes are, but it takes time before you internalise that, and then later you begin to be able to relate the sound of another musician playing to how you might play the same. I'm still crap, though.
Good luck with dell warranty/service.
I cannot remember apple offering great hardware in the not so distant past, what hardware are you referring to ?

My experience is that apple hardware had limitation that other hardware did not, and for a much higher price tag.
Fortunately there is an easy solution to this conundrum: stop buying products which can only be repaired by "geniuses" in a "licensed shop". The same spiel was tried by car manufacturers where it was quashed by legal requirements to open up for repair by third parties. It is currently being tried by agricultural manufacturers (John Deere being a well-known and not so well-loved example) which try to use firmware licenses to keep farmers from repairing or enhancing their equipment without giving Deere its pound of flesh. This practice will hopefully meet the same end as the automotive equivalent although there is a chance that lobbyists for the industry manage to buy themselves a reprieve given that the market is a lot smaller and as such the buyers don't represent as many votes. It may be clear that there is no Deere on my farm, nor will there be one for as long as they keep up these shenanigans. The only apples here are the ones on the trees, free to be handled by mere mortals.

Come to think of it I seem to remember the Bible warning us about certain fruits in Genesis 3:3 - "But of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God hath said, Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die."
«Firstly, why would you add a new chip to a board, rather than alter an existing one?»

Altering the flash chip would be too obvious. Looking at the flash image (dumping it) or chip (x-raying it) would be the first thing anyone would do if they suspected something fishy. Swapping a flash chip with a compromised one is a textbook 101 supply chain attack...

However a small rogue chip sitting on the SPI link (between the flash chip and the BMC) can be very sneaky: it can replace legit code with evil code ONLY when the BMC is booting up and loading code from flash. The rogue chip would not do that when the flash is read for verification (think dieselgate: a VW car disabled cheats when it detected lab testing conditions!)

Also Bloomberg talks about this rogue chip being sometimes hidden within(!) the fiberglass layer of the PCB. This is the ultimate stealthy attack. No one expects the bare PCB itself to be already compromised by a backdoor even before components are soldered on it...
I'm not in the camp I described in the previous comment, I was just making an observation.

> Inevitably, that has an effect on relationships and general life.

I'll make another observation: I don't think so. There's plenty of people who lack curiosity that led happy lives. I don't think anyone can prove a correlation between curiosity and success in life.

Heck, one could joke that there's a reason most proverbs say the opposite, in almost every language out there ("curiosity killed the cat" in English, "curious people die young", in my native Romanian).
We use clubhouse.io at work and it’s the least bad project tracking system I’ve used.

The Bloomberg article about SuperMicro is bogus, here's why
Just iterate through the results and recover the hierarchical structure. It’s not exactly rocket science:

rows = sql("SELECT * FROM parent LEFT JOIN child ON parent.id = child.parent_id")
results = []
for row in rows {
if row["parent.id"] != results.last.id {
results.add({ id: row["parent.id"], children: [], ... })
}
if row["child.id"] != null {
results.last.children.add({ id: row["child.id"], ... })
}
}
It’s funny, before the ads annoyed me. But now I’m wary of investing time into any shows because I’m afraid of all the extra time they waste with filler content like unnecessary drama or actors looking at each other’s faces, presumably to make it feel like you’re getting more minutes of content for your money. But I feel like it’s wasting my time.

At least I have the option of fast forward, though more likely I’ll just stop watching everything except the most highly acclaimed stuff. And/or I’m getting older and just not entertained as much by it anymore.
Language is too restrictive to consider in isolation if we're talking about "the tools". And I'm personally more interested in effectiveness than beauty, although I'll grant that beauty could have some influence on effectiveness perhaps.

Ecosystem is not a binary proposition: either there, or not there. At some point the ecosystem becomes solid enough for some purposes.

Finally, if no outliers were ever a better choice than the status quo, the status quo would never change. Therefore, there are always some outliers that can be chosen for greater effect at the cost of accepting some perceived risk. Using tooling smack in the middle of the average zeroes the potential increase in effectiveness as well as the perceived risk.
Ask HN: Should Apple also be a Search engine, ISP and Mobile carrier ?
I, personally, would subscribe to all services, no matter the prices, given Apple's impeccable privacy and security record.

Try creating a device, that is uncrackable with physical access, like iPhone with iOS 12. They did it.

At $1T valuation, it should not create much financial stress for Apple. What do you think ?
And since Apple repair shops refuse to touch macs beyond a certain age, it means that it will now be completely impossible to repair an old mac.

I think logically speaking any point within a region can only be as easy to reach as the region itself, and depending how you travel and how you define 'reaching the region' most probably will be required to be harder to reach than the region itself.

That said it must be cool being married to someone from the farthest corner of the earth. Congratulation.
This is due to liability law. O2 is liable for the condition fo the phone they sold you, but if Apple take on the repair they adopt liability. Apple has a contract with O2 to repair the phone, not with you whom they don't have a contractual relationship with. They can't just waive that contractual relationship for every singe purchaser of Apple products from third parties world wide, it would open them up to a lot of risk. Suppose O2 screwed up warehousing and damaged a whole batch of iPhones somehow and then sold them to customers, Apple would end up liable for that. If you want a contractual relationship with Apple, just buy the phone from Apple.
It is missing to address the problem that wages are not comparable across all parts of the US. a 100,000 salary is on the lower end for a software engineer in California while it is beyond upper end at Alabama as an extreme example.

No contradiction.

Read it closely: The old statement said that no infected firmware was found on servers purchased from supermicro, meaning freshly purchased servers delivered from supermicro were clean. The ArsTechnica clarifies in an update to the article that the infected driver was installed later.

The new statement says: "That one-time event was determined to be accidental and not a targeted attack against Apple."

As someone about to leave the EU, this makes me sad.
I've been told I have a perfect pitch (by people in music business). I learned violin since the age of 7 by ear. I went to after school classes for that and technically I was supposed to learn from notes and the fact that I would just throw them out and learn a piece by ear in no time annoyed my teachers and peers quite a bit. They would ask me to tune their instruments before concerts though. Later I learned keyboards, some other instruments and eventually acoustic guitar (finger style) the same way (I have a Taylor 414ce-R collecting dust in a closet). I wrote a few songs as well.

In my opinion based on many years of experience at the very least relative pitch is a necessary learning an instrument by ear and essential for instruments without fixed tone positions, such as violin which has no frets unlike a guitar.

I can't speak from the perspective of someone who may have no pitch, because for me the technique was the hard part, not melody, chords or finding the right notes.

Companies don’t give vehement denials like this unless they’re telling the truth. People claiming gag orders are crazy, mostly for thinking that Apple, or anyone else for that matter, would ever sign a document forcing them to lie to their customers (I’m not saying they wouldn’t lie, just that they wouldn’t sign anything that would force them to do so).
My translation of the part pertaining to the national security authorities in Norway. Direct quotes from the authorities are shown as such:

---
NSM is aware of the issues with Supermicro.

"- We know about this, but can neither deny nor confirm it is correct. We register that this is being denied by the companies", says Monica Strom Arnoy, communication director in NSM to VG.

NSM has, however, been aware that Supermicro may have been compromised, long before Bloomberg's article.

"- We have known about this since June", says Strom Arnoy, who does not wish to further explain from where they have this information.
---

My reading is that they suspect Supermicro. Further, that they are familiar with the claims about Apple and Amazon but won't confirm or deny whether they are correct. Damming for Supermicro, less clear for Apple and Amazon
No. But you can usually order a new one and return when the repair is finished.

Eh? Instead of verifying an existing design they'll just make one themselves? That could be compromised too?
No. They should work to get Siri better and keep vertically integrating until they build all the chips for all their hardware. Imagine an A12 derived laptop with Apple T2 chips powering the storage and security etc. if, by some miracle, the telephone polls become free game and somehow Apple could put cell units on all of them and blanket the nation (if this is even feasible) then maybe. But mostly, no.
I deal with this grandparents videocall situation, none have an apple product but android tablets and linux computers and it's working as intended.

I also deal with how every macbook plugging the ethernet cable on my home network just crashes with the multilingual error message explaining that nothing can be done except turning off the macbook, no other device does this, apple device privilege I guess.

Do I have to mention the number of ipad and iphone and macbook that are brought to me because something wrong during update happened and now the devices won't boot ?

There are other vendor who do not pre install malware, and I would like to see fact supporting your claim that apple is the only one that...

To me apple is just another vendor with their own shortcomings and issues but also a more successful marketing which managed to give their devices a social status marker.
It's still an odd strategic move though. They could get caught in the lie, in which case they would both be exposed to pretty serious legal and financial trouble.

I think there is no way they would claim they are not under any gag order if they were forced to never confirm such an order, if there also is the option of not addressing it at all.
It is. "He expired on the couch" is fairly common. It has the connotation of a quiet death. One does not expire while solo climbing or BASE jumping.
I think it's ignored because the story is focused on databases' HA.

My impression from my limited telco experience (correct me if it's wrong) is that there was not much "database stuff" happening in telcos back in the days: only dispatch tables and call duration records come to mind. With then prevailing post-call billing, I assume a lot of the hard constraints on consistency were not there.
FWIW, I upgraded a 5+ year old MacBook Air to the new MacBook Pro basically because I wanted to. I think the screen was the main driver, but really there was nothing wrong with that Air; as evidenced by the fact that a good friend is now using it as her primary computer.

Planned obsolence is another meme that needs to die.

Regarding the cost of screens for a phone, what, you wish they were lower? Me too! But they aren’t, if you want an original Apple screen. They cost a bunch to source ($110) [0], they cost a bunch for Apple to train up techs, and to have the systems and procedures and checklists such that every time you get an Apple replacement, it’s like new.

Would everyone who dropped their phone wish for a $20 replacement? Of course. Tough luck.

I’m not suggesting that non-Apple repair is different, but you have to admit that a knock-off 3rd party screen is probably not going to be as reliable. And who wears the pain and anger when that screen doesn’t work? Apple.

You can’t fault them for wanting to control this stuff. If it was my company, I would.

The usual: make it public and viral, give them a bad rep, attack them on what matters to them: profits.

First grab attention of people on how this is gonna affect them, then enlarge on how apple makes huge profits, out of tax evasion, which impact well being of people around the world, also mention how their devices are made out of forced labour and degrading work conditions, and remind every other scandal.
It’s not index funds that cause the market to be too big to fail. Pension fund investments and 401k investments also go to the same place, index funds just take out the middle man and reduce costs.

And yes, that’s why you should be long on mid-large cap equity indexes, because they will always get bailed out, since too many voters are too invested in them. Either more money will be printed or cash infusion or loans from taxpayer, but in any case, the biggest sectors will never fail completely as they will always be re-inflated (in the US, as long as its currency and military continue to have the most power).
first thing that came to my head was Newspeak
If Apple or Amazon are found to have lied in their statements I think they could be in serious legal trouble with both their customers but also (sadly, more importantly) their stock holders.

> They were the ones who started AJAX and Mozilla reverse engineered it for example.

I think you have your answer right there. MS added AJAX as a proprietary feature to make the experience of using Outlook in Explorer richer than in Mozilla.

At the time they were ignoring standards bodies and trying to lock thr web down to running in IE on Windows only. Hence them paying Apple to push a similar (but inferior) version of IE on the Mac.
