> I think this is the main reason that Apple, in general, has a much better UX: They only have to support a limited set of hardware.

People assume this to be the case, without actually analyzing what hardware actually needs to be supported by operating systems these days. For internal components, most of the stuff in a PC is pretty standardized: AHCI and NVMe for storage, EHCI and XHCI for USB, HD Audio for sound (and it's almost always a Realtek codec). Apple doesn't have any significant advantage in any of those areas. They still have to support two out of three GPU vendors, the top two or three NIC vendors, and maintain a driver infrastructure that supports loading third-party drivers for any of the above when there are exceptions. (Sure, the expandable Mac Pro may be long-dead, but Thunderbolt docks and enclosures enable the same variety of components).

Apple's real advantage seems to be that they don't have to try to work around anybody else's broken motherboard firmware. Microsoft could take the same stance and declare it to be Lenovo's problem if your Thinkpad's power management is broken. Microsoft probably should have changed strategy there when the industry switched to UEFI.
"Joint Table", not "Table Join", they are very different things. You can use joint tables a lot without even knowing that they are called joint tables.

Show HN: BackendLab – Code-free web app builder
Hi all,

I'm currently validating an idea for a new BaaS solution which will allow you to build and host a web app backend without writing a single line of code.

The app is called BackendLab and the landing page is here: https://www.backendlab.app/

The idea is that it allows you to define your database models by specifying what fields to include and BackendLab automatically creates a CRUD API which you can start using straight away.

We've just launched the public beta and are looking for early adopters (free of charge, just looking for some feedback on the tool)

Looking forward to hearing your feedback!

Thanks,

Chris
To be fair, I think the OP knows what are joins, but doesnt know what are “Joint Tables”. I literally never heard the term “Joint Tables” myself until now.
> The Commission is the executive branch and the Parliament is legislative

Er, no. Commission and Council are both legislative and executive at the same time. The oversight organ is Parliament.

A lot of the of the ill-will against the EU setup comes from this non-traditional arrangement that betrays Montesquieu for the good of efficiency at scale: it's so hard and slow to write laws in national parliaments, that EU governments decided the model wouldn't work at continental level. You can look at the (in)efficiency of comparable bodies (US Congress and Indian parliament) to see the problem in action every day.

So multiple generations of EU politicians decided it would be easier to take hard decisions in a small room (Council), then leave it to the bureaucrats (Commission) to implement them. When the model was criticized for being undemocratic, they begrudgingly agreed to have a Parliament with veto powers. But democracy, once started, is a rolling boulder; so the role of EUParliament has grown with every election. The Commission cannot steamroll measures anymore, so EUP assumed a de-facto legislative role too. This is Good in historical terms and can only get better with time. Already the composition of the Commission has moved from a compromise brokered on purely-ethnic lines by national governments, to a body that also has to reflect the political inclinations of the sitting Parliament, lest they get rejected. Parliament will not rubber-stamp anymore.

The problem is that some elements of EU politics continue to be insulated from Parliament. Fiscal matters in particular, where states are completely unchecked, must be tied to Parliament in some way. Until that happens, demagogues will have an easy way to misdirect, talking of "Council" and "Troikas" as some unelected bodies when they are simple smokescreens for national governments to hide behind. It has to be corrected.

From a history-buff perspective, the current era is an exciting time: the continent is basically rewriting its constitutional asset in real-time. It's the sort of sea-change that happens once every 200 years; like a Vienna Congress or US Constitutional Convention, but spread over decades.
There is a very relevant difference between active and inactive cuts. The cocaine I tried likely had inactive cuts, which calls my assessment of field prices into question, but not active cuts as it makes no economic sense, and thus wouldn't affect my anecdotal assessment of the mental effects of cocaine.

The money we spend on the elderly is absolutely unsustainable - welfare and healthcare.

The taxes in Europe are insane - huge social security taxes (before you even get your paycheque) and sales taxes.

Yes, healthcare and education is paid for. But if you are middle-class, the extra taxes you will pay in Europe will far outweigh the gains your receive from that (compared to America - where you pay less in taxes, but have to pay for your own college education and healthcare).

Its unsurprising that Europeans have such low birthrates. The cost of living is mostly the same as the US, but the salaries are much lower/taxes are much higher.

This whole system needs to be unwound, and more money put into the hands of workers. If it means people no longer get a state pension, then so be it.
That would be the discussion of the pros and cons.
How to Covering Tracks Over Network (Hide Your Self from Them)
What is not discussed in this article is the staggering amount of Italian debt the German government is exposed to as a legacy from the 2008 financial crisis. An Italian default would be like an atom bomb going off in European markets and the ECB no longer has the means to do much to stop it.

Post 2008, the ECB forced a lot of unpopular economic restructuring measures, but it never forced bondholders to take the large haircuts necessary to allow the countries to properly delever. Instead the solution was more debt at favorable rates and forced adoption of contractionary fiscal policy. The result is that you have countries like Greece and Italy that were crushed under a wave of austerity and slowly ballooning debt whose economies never really recovered because of the toxic combination.

Germany was largely acting out of self-interest when it provided the financing the countries were asking for so now German banks were terribly exposed to all that debt. The German bailout of European nations moved bank exposure to the German taxpayer. There's some lingering resentment amongst the German public about propping up the Greeks, in particular, but they ain't seen nothin' yet! The next financial crisis doesn't even have to start in Italy in order to trigger the Italian debt bomb and wreck the European economy. A no-deal Brexit could do it. A sharp drop in the American economy could do it. All of this is to say that we've been crossing a shaky rope bridge across two mountains for quite some time and I'm not sure that we'll get to the other side. Happy Sunday everyone!

Since 2001, I spoke with many Americans and they believe in wrong things. Therefore they will continue to vote for left or right populists no matter what. Their left and right are warmongers, anti-internationalists, anti-peace in the Middle East, anti-immigration, anti-poor people, against universal access to medicine.

In very long term, US is unsustainable. Too many states with different interests and huge moral hazard.

(Of course, I don't really believe this; I'm just showing you how your populistic generalizations can be equally applied to any federal state on the planet. Please try to see beyond the propaganda you are subjected to.)

It's interesting you say freedom must be preserved while wanting to make it illegal for people/companies to hide software from you.

In that case, I would also like the freedom to see what you do inside you house, you got nothing to hide, right?
If you want to work at a tech giant as an engineer the most important factor is probably if you have a strong relationship with someone with hiring authority, and the second most important factor is the ability to solve algorithmic problems. Side projects are probably not the best way to do either and shouldn't be the only thing you do to work at a tech giant. They do help, I've had recruiters from tech giants comment on my side projects as a sign of being passionate.

Side projects have been a huge benefit to working in the VR industry, because when I got started it was rare to find people with professional experience.

Also, failed side projects are way more helpful than failed algorithmic studying.

Umm, I don't doubt that there is a lot of nefarious data collection going on, for both profit and political reasons. But this seems to me like a "Google Now" kind of feature, that suggests modes of transportation based on your current location. Having a list of train stations and airports and doing the detection on the phone as opposed to in the cloud seems even the more privacy protecting way (although they probably still upload your entire GPS history like Google does...).

The New American Dream Home Is One You Never Have to Leave
A 2 for 1, this response contains a logical fallacy and a shifting of goalposts.

First, I was told all regulations are bad, this nuance is only coming up now In response to hypocrisy being pointed out.

Second, which industries have historically implemented regulations without a legal requirement? The banking, insurance, tech, healthcare and energy industries all seem to fight regulation pretty hard.

Though the iPhone X series uses a special chip to store the face I never read it doesn't site the face of others. None of this really matters though as any "authority" looking at your phone has the power to force you to unlock it against your will.

New Zealand, for example, recently instituted a $5000 maximum fine for individuals at airports who are unwilling to unlock their phones even asked by "officials".

Both the US and NZ, along with several other countries, are part of the same surveilance ring. So if you think not looking at your phone matters in the slightest it doesn't. Not at all.
This is a really interesting point. And to be honest, I don't even really mind that I'm being shown ads after purchasing a subscription. The thing is, the ads have to be in good taste.

When I was searching for a way to disable the video ads, somebody made the point that the New York Times' business model has involved showing ads to subscribers for longer than I've been alive. The difference is, those ads didn't move around the page and start screaming at you.

Like most things, there's a sensible middle ground here. Show people with buying power ads, but don't drive those people away with your desperation.

Well, I don't want to break the law. If I have a chance I want to move legally. But as you can say, given my background the chances are very slim.

> c) Migrate within your country to a better comunity. ... If you succeed here another option may open at a later point with higher success probabilities.

I think this is what I am going to do. I don't know how long does it take to make enough money to get out of here, but I'm going to try.

I actually run a small printing business where I make enough money. The bad news is, I don't have any machine or employee, so if I am moving to another city, it'll be hard for me to run my business. The good news is all my customers are coming from the internet, we never meet, and they do repeat order.

Actually, immigration has a simple solution.

As the Australians have shown: if you have the testicular fortitude to house illegal immigrants on desolate islands where they are safe from the oppression and starvation they claim to be fleeing, then very, very soon the flow dindles to a trickle.

Since most of the country-shoppers aren't real refugees - they just wanted to live in Sydney with an Australian passport and a hard currency.

The same applies in Europe.

Marine Predator Problem? Try a Gastropod Hostage Backpack
Apart from what metaphor quoted, even if you had such a hypothetical trucking platform, the trucking platform itself has to be maintained and manned. No point in having a special trucking platform as a contingency if they're not available when the hurricane comes, because of deferred maintenance (due to other maintenance priorities) etc.

Considering that being in the eye of such a powerful hurricane is a freak occurrence, the cost of the risk contingency probably would not be worth it if you ran the numbers.

Correct, or even incorrect terminology is important for quick communication but I don't consider it essential. If your partner tells you a word that you don't understand, just ask and you are set.

In fact, chances are that the team you are joining have their own jargon, and asking may not be a bad idea in any case. Sometimes, common technical words can get an entirely different meaning depending on the project you are working on. For example, I had a project that called recordings "FIFO", or another that called bug reports "FFT".
It massively depends on the company and the role they are recruiting for. There is a world of difference between a small company who not only wants but needs people like yourself who are proven, motivation and have a wide expertise and larger organisations who are probably hiring for team members who need to hit the ground running and who basically tow the line instead of thinking outside the box.

That said, I had an employee who was very experienced on paper, who done lots like yourself but at the end of the day was so outside the norm in terms of technical language and mainstream topics that it was hard to manage him.

Populism is an appeal to popular opinion without contributing any leadership IMO - i.e. you basically just send the broadest possible opinions of the population back at them, without attempting to shape or direct them into actionable strategies.

It always looks simplistic, because it is - there's no attempt to capture a defined, practical policy, just do whatever people will in general like as a sentiment.
