I'm currently working in a Microsoft shop, and Windows is driving me up the wall.

- Visual Studio (2017) crashes at least once a week without any kind of error reporting. It just closes. Gone.

- PowerShell is absolutely terrible and all terminal emulators are terrible. They are slow, clunky, and never feel 'native' to the OS.

- About a month ago I was in the middle of a problem, walked over to a colleague to discuss, and come back to a forced updating PC. This took upwards of an hour before I could work again.

- I regularly have files or folders that are apparently 'locked' in another process (which one?!), and to do anything with them I have to sign out and sign back in.

- Allowing any application to steal focus is just... The worst UI design decision that was ever made.

I could go on. There's so many annoyances, big to small. This is on a ~2 month old machine with equally fresh install of Windows 10 Pro and Visual Studio Professional. I really like C# and .NET, but Windows is driving me away.

I haven't used Mac OS seriously for about a year or two, so I won't comment on that. My Linux machine is the complete opposite, however. It never does anything that I didn't expect or put there. I always know exactly what is running, what it is doing, and what is isn't doing. I haven't had emacs crash on me yet. I update whenever I feel I have the time, but it's never as intrusive -- even big updates are done in a few minutes. Updates don't require restarts. Again, I could go on.

It's interesting how our experiences can be polar opposite, yet both be valid.

It's easy. We've been a cord-cutter household for years, but even I have to admit that an Apple TV + Netflix is a lot more complicated than the old days of flipping the cable box to channel 7.

It's not like people have to rent cable boxes. By law, you can get an STB from Motorola or wherever, and a CableCARD for a nominal monthly fee (couple of dollars).
Yes it is and while not the fastest, it works surprisingly well. I tried a couple of units several years ago and it was a bust. Some guy locally was giving away two TP-link 1000 plugs and they worked first time and I'm now a believer. Give it a shot.
I was in simmilar situation, even though not as frustrating. Started at a company as a test-automation engineer, but the QA team I was part of was dissolved soon after, and we were redistributed do various development teams.

So I changed to be backend-developer but after three months in that role, I didn't feel like I am really contributing. One of the things was, that didn't really feel that I had that much impact on things we were doing in the team, and I learned that the only part of the application I finally started to comprehend a bit will be handed over to a separate team. Secondly, I was only remotee out of 8 people, rest of them in a single office.

So I changed to the team on the other side of the hand-over. It is mostly remote (3/5 people in different offices), and I do participate much more.
I'm staying on 16.04 because I prefer Unity over any other DE. No problems so far, but after it becomes too much of a burden I'll have to switch to Mint with Cinnamon.

I suspect you are correct though it would be a lot of eating/chewing. At 4,500 calories a day, I am tired of eating as it is.

I looked up the PITA diet as I was unfamiliar, it recommends to eat less spicy foods which is tough as a Cajun, but then states to add more chicory which we add to our coffee. Maybe there is a balance!

So if you're not in the "most" category, then what? You don't count? You're not a citizen?

And anecdotally, I know several people who live in urban places who still don't have access to cable television.

Back to the topic, though — the OP stated, "you literally don't need at all." My point is that his postulation is invalid for millions of people.

Logistic regression isn't sexy, but it can still achieve near state-of-the-art results, is reasonably resistant to bias^H^H^H^H variance, and generates parameters that you can easily explain to someone with no background in math.

As far as I can tell, the GP raised no objection to logistic regression, they simply noted that the illustration didn't actually illustrate logistic regression but something else.
5 Gadgets That Can Improve Your Sleep
The idea began with me wanting to generate space Invaders character design using genetic algorithm, so I thought, what the heck: if I do that I might as well do a sort of game play to justify they design. That's how this project was borned. Who knows what it becomes? But very nice of you to comment and leave a link.
I know it’s stupid but I wonder what it would be like to play a video-game that fully utilized this super-computer. I imagine an open world rpg where there are no loading screens and where every npc ai is running all the time. It would be closer to an interactive simulation than to a game. Fun to think about.
The biggest pain for me of lack of access to the underlying OS has turned out not to be any of my thousands of tiny gripes with the way the software works that I can't change (e.g. setting dns on the cell connection), but the lack of transparency and ability to debug basic processes. What is the computer doing now? Why is it hanging? Why did that app crash? Why is my network failing? Who is that app talking to? My main fear is not, in the end, that I won't control or own my device (though I do feel this), but that it will turn computing from a transparent network of understandable processes—which I find beautiful, and which drew me deep into programming—into a Kafkaesque nightmare of inexplicably bad software and automated computer support, not just from apple, but from all the apps in the market they created.

I am absolutely sure that they will port XCode to the iPad itself and allow visibility into my own apps. This is not the same as a workstation.

I haven't worked with arrays for years. Sorry for the mistakes.
On average, over many plays, the random aspects of the scoring you are concerned about will average away and the useful traits will be reinforced. Just like evolution.
Totally agree here, earlier there was a finding of huge shark nest somewhere in pecific. Scientists went out of their way to hide the location. That is what should have been done here.
A comparable system would be rhe 1600 hackish-mac mini I outlined in my last post if you add a 700 USD eGPU on top. Even if you deduct 400 for the additional casings required, it’s just so far from competitive. As you wrote, up to 100% markup for macOS and all the Apple benefits is acceptable, but it has gotten a really hard pill to swallow now.
Because if you don't mention that you've got a hardware switch covering the mic someone will ask you why your security chip has this glaringly obvious hole in it.
How would other subsystems use the safety of the BPF program - which I assume is the safe VM you mention? Do they have to assume that the network stack may not halt and have special code for it or sth ?
FaqBot: An Open-Source Email Answering Tool from HackMIT
Here's some more info in the BPF and XDP reference guide on concepts, use cases and getting started examples to catch up: https://cilium.readthedocs.io/en/latest/bpf/

Afaik, the original idea of XDP was discussed among a few kernel networking hackers at a netdev conference and very early prototype was done by Plumgrid back then. Cloudflare is also deploying it in production and have blogged about it as well though that happened a bit later: https://blog.cloudflare.com/how-to-drop-10-million-packets/

This sentence is not quite correct: "However, only certain types of rules are simple enough to be done in a high performance way -- complex rules would still be left to netfilter / ebtables." Under high packet load, netfilter will simply not be able to keep up. The rules that can be written in eBPF with the help of LLVM's eBPF backend are quite complex, for example, Facebook has written their Katran load balancer in eBPF: https://code.fb.com/open-source/open-sourcing-katran-a-scala... . Google folks harden the network stacks receive path with XDP as "big red button" to stop malicious packets: http://vger.kernel.org/netconf2017_files/rx_hardening_and_ud...

Recently Intel developers have added AF_XDP with zero-copy mode which gets pretty close to DPDK: https://www.dpdk.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/35/2018/10/pm-... The goal is that DPDK would only need to rely on AF_XDP and doesn't have the burden to maintain their own user space drivers anymore such that they can be consolidated in the kernel while retaining performance of DPDK.

Definitely exciting times ahead! :-)
Comcast used to (circa 2014-2015) give me an $8 customer-provided equipment bill credit every month for using a CableCARD w/ a HDHRPrime.
I'm probably going to do the same thing. I have F29 beta on my laptop messing around with it, but I'm at a point I like what works, and Ubuntu works(TM). A lot less fiddling. Their GUnity desktop in 18.10 looks usable (though I like KDE 5.14).

I have no reason to like IBM. My vantage point from elsewhere in IT Ops is that they are as license-batty and money-grubbing as Oracle, coasting on the market share they've had for decades on the mainframe. This proves they've been beaten by commodity cloud, and they're buying it out.

Oracle destroyed Sun, Solaris, Java, and MySQL is only still relevant because it was such a popular open source project (vs. the other ones) that it had momentum. Even then, Postgres got a lot more attention, and MariaDB was spawned from MySQL's creators as a fork.

If I don't really have a dog in the running with Fedora/CentOS/Red Hat, why would I dig into it now, unless my job required it? Ubuntu is just as good.

I don't wish ill to Fedora, and recognize that a lot of good has come from RHAT/Fedora ecosystem. I personally just choose to stick with an ecosystem I know, particularly now that Fedora is in danger.
They followed in Facebook's footsteps and chased after meaningless engagement metrics, thus driving content-quality down. I don't know if they ever noticed - or cared. As long as the metrics look good these days you know, no one will ask questions.

There was a series of dubious "upgrades" to the feed algorithm which weighted popular content on the platform more than your own preferences or those of the people you followed. Overall, the content they pushed on you was to appeal to the lowest common denominator among your category of users (e.g "following Programming languages") which of course meant that it was absolute trash.

The great takeaway here is that one should be wary of playing god with feed algos. They create a web of complex feedback loops that no one actually understands. And building a product you can't understand will ineluctably crash down on you.

Sure, that might improve engagement metrics momentarily. I'm certain that at the same time, it devastate the lifetime user value, as people will inevitably get sick of being fed off detritus.

My thesis is that lots of the experts got driven away by the Linkedin-ish, clickbaity, and self-glorifying answers being aggressively promoted by the feed algo.

It's a real shame because circa 2013/2014 I found tons of excellent content there and was happy to engage a lot.
if those companies can't be sure that their customer privacy isn't up to some standard that half the world thinks can be adhered to, i'd say good riddance.

Nope, since the first MacBook Pro the dual-microphones have been placed in the grill, with the PowerBooks and iBooks the single microphone was placed in the left side of the display panel in a small hole.

I can relate to this experience (US medical student). Medical school is not only about being able to memorize literally everything possible, but also applying that knowledge in situations that may not fit the "perfect" picture. It's the ultimate test of memory, application, and communication (because when you find the right answer, you also have to be able to explain it to your patient).
Ask HN: What are the best informed AI blogs/ bloggers?
I'm looking for AI news sources who avoid the temptation to generate hype.

Recently, I discovered Skynet Today (https://www.skynettoday.com/) and really enjoy their coverage.
So I wondered what other good sources are out there? (Not necessarily a publication, could be just a trustworthy writer )
You still literally don't need it. Which isn't to say that most people don't want it really really bad, but still, it's different, and words matter.

Moreover, unless you're an extreme binge watcher, I'm guessing you could still consume more than you can eat of video entertainment for less money than the cable companies charge by buying DVDs. Let alone Netflix's DVD service.

You can only make that claim by examining a single locus. When you examine multiple loci, human populations are clearly separated into distinct groups. The fact that this oft repeated myth is so commonly addressed that it is a named fallacy should be an indication that it warrants a little investigation into its accuracy. Here's a handy graph to help visualize how Lewontin's claim is dishonest and false: https://ars.els-cdn.com/content/image/1-s2.0-S03069877090053...

If you want to argue about the science, please research the subject first. There's no way anyone could do even a cursory bit of research and not come across this as it has been beaten to death, resurrected, and re-beaten to death.

> I don't think it supports cell folding (?) as an example missing feature

If I understand what you mean correctly, that would be handled by built-in outline-minor-mode, or by a third-party Emacs module like yafolding or fold-this.el. Emacs packages tend to be made to compose well with other packages (it's a requirement given how everyone's Emacs is a special snowflake, unlike any other Emacs).

As for widgets/Jupyter extensions, then yes. Emacs can't really help you there AFAIK.
Father of two boys, and kinda lapsed gamer. Wanted to introduce boys to some fun games we can play together.
I cannot express how maddening the entire casino/micro-transaction transformation of all games has ruined everything for kids. I would happily buy a game out-right if it disabled all up-sells, and transactional BS. Even frikkin Minecraft launches with a bazillion pay upgrades now, and that's after you already bought it.

I play a few carefully selected Steam titles with the boys in a limited fashion, because they are actually games, and not clever schemes to monetize everything.

Even so, my oldest (who's 6) hasn't even ever seen Fortnight - and yet he still asks me about it. (I guess he hears about it from friends.) That's how good their marketing and monetization strategy works...
It's sickening.
And so it starts, the internet didn't just split along the China/rest-of-the-world axis but also along the US/Europe axis.

Writing EBPF programs is still quite involved, especially if you want to distribute them on other systems (as currently the features depend on the Kernel version so the programs are not very portable yet).

Tools like bcc make the process easier though, but require additional tooling on the system (e.g. LLVM).
It's not only the fact that a finger is so much less precise than a cursor, but also that UIs made for fat fingers take up a lot of space. Buttons are bigger, when dragging you need to know what's going on under your finger, etc.

I also think that the lack of a desktop UI and a mouse is a huge limiting factor of the iPad Pro.
Crossing the streams with the Valve/Proton thread of yesterday, Warning Forever still works a dream on Windows 10 and is an exceptionally fun game. Well worth finding and downloading.
This layout immediately reminded me of a Typeform form, and then got me thinking that if this were a Typeform form it would automatically log your responses and you could have historical data on your tasks, thoughts, and actions.
The alternative is simple, just practically unachieveable without a world dictatorship or mass casualties; fewer people could enjoy all of what you describe, billions of us can’t. The problem is one of choosing who gets to reproduce, and doing so without touching off wars, rebellions, and religious violence. I somehow doubt we’re up to the task as a species.

True. Actually that's what I meant by "intermingling inputs and outputs". KnitJ still shows both code and its output in the rendered HTML, but unlike in Jupyter Notebook, the code is stored and edited separately in a single source file.

I really like it. It runs fairly cool and quiet, the hardware works great and the software support is now at the point it can be a daily driver. Plus, it builds Firefox at -j24 in a half hour (I have an 8-core SMT-4 system). If the sticker price on the big T2 makes you shiver, wait for the Blackbird, but Power ISA on the desktop is totally viable again as a workstation.
Uh. Why is Google Calendar necessary for this?
An underappreciated facet of matlab that makes it mistake-resistant: by default, all parameters are passed by value. Thus, all functions are pure / referentially transparent at their interface, even if mutation is used internally. This combination is the easiest for beginners to learn, IMO.
thanks for the suggestion! yes, definitely will need to update the way it checks for correct answer as there can be multiple variations.
Firefox 63 on Mac works fine for me on this page. Spacebar, page-down, and scrollbar all work (i.e. the content moves a page at a time but horizontally).

Streaming services probably can and should cater to that more.

I think sometimes the psychological aspect of it isn't appreciated. The whole point of plopping down on the couch and turning on the TV is to decompress. It's great that streaming services allow you to choose what to watch when, but if you've been figuring things out and making decisions all day, that's what you want to get away from.

Traditional broadcast TV and cable keeps delivering something even if you do nothing. You can override it (by changing the channel or using the DVR), but you need only exercise as much control as you feel like at a given moment.
With the Display Menu app you choose from lots of resolutions. They are not blurry whatsoever. I use 4096x2304 on 27" retina imac, 2880x1800 on 15" retina mbp, and 2304x1440 on 12" retina mb. Plenty of real estate.
Nice and simple writeup.
Straight to the point without being ceremonious.
This tired conspiracy theory neglects a few thing:

- Consumers have aptly demonstrated that they prefer low weight and thinness over expandability and replaceability. That's one of many reasonable explanations that do not assume bad faith.

- While repairs have gotten more difficult, reliability has increased at an even faster pace. Notebook components have failure rate far lower than a decade ago. The largest single change was the transition from mechanical, failure-prone HDDs to SSDs. The second largest change were improvements to batteries: these have an expected useable lifetime of 5 years+, whereas in the past it was maybe two years, and only you took specific care such as regular draining.

- Material science and manufacturing have also improved, allowing tighter specification: If your washing machine survives two decades that is a major failure of engineering.

That's because over-provisioning is wasteful, and ecologically harmful. Even in cases grow fond of such old machines, it is actually better to have them fail at some point, because improvements in power consumption more than compensate for shorter lifecycles.
I'm a little upset we are now without a $1000 ($999) introductory-level Apple notebook.

Even though it was gloriously underpowered, it still presented an entry-level device for students and those generally with less cash.

The extra $200 also makes the differential between the 'Air' and the standard 'MacBook'...well, um...can anyone specifically tell me the differences, even?
Intel's gross margins are high enough that I'm willing to bet that Apple will design their own chips to pocket that difference (or cut prices and take market share).
I've been tinkering with some commits to get the Moonlight project working on tvOS, and the biggest stumbling block to many of the games I could play with a controller is the lack of L3/R3 buttons. Sprint, look behind, crouch, take cover, melee, etc. all get mapped to these buttons pretty frequently, since your thumb is generally resting on at least on of those sticks during normal play.
I think if something like XFCE were to implement xmonad / dwm style tiling, that would be about perfect. I like some of the creature comforts of a desktop environment, but I prefer them to heavy on supporting features, and light on in-your-face features.

Also, I cannot stand the ubiquitous hamburger menus of Gnome. I really wish we could all go back to humane menus.
