My interpretation is the opposite - a lot of events lately provoke critical arguments that use the objective verbiage of legality and human rights to frame emotional, subjective opinions. E.g. the line between a private platform reasonably removing a user or something a user posted for ToS violation, and an attack on free speech. Or the line between reasonably punishing an employee who has violated workplace behavior policies, and an attack on innocence until proven guilty. I would argue that, in this domain of examples, liberals explicitly favor reason and prudence, not extremity toward one side or the other (though there may certainly be cases where there is a general bias toward one side of the line or the other that arguably fails that ideology).
You are making a false comparison. Why would an SPA not be a "ad hoc jQuery tangle + ad hoc server side endpoints that know to speak to random jQuery UI libraries" ? I think it's quite possible to design an SPA like that.
Well, accused of creating a toxic work environment by sending a dispassionate email with citations about the gender balance in technology. After the HR department specifically asked for feedback.

Again, he could be talking rubbish, but I would expect that to be treated a lot less harshly than coercing someone into giving you a blowjob.
Ask HN: Is there a better way for me to interact with companies
Hi All

Posting here since this is a community that likes solving problems or (even better) may know of a solution.

I am based in the US (just moved here), and I wonder if there is service (or if I am missing something) that will improve how I currently interact with companies? For example, when I moved apartments, I needed to make contact with all credit card companies, my gas and power, bank (you get the picture) to update my address. If I am lucky, it involves me logging into dozens of sites to update things. If I am unlucky, I need to call them up. In addition, my mail box is constantly filled with special offers and discounts that I don't ask for (some which is actually useful, most is not).

So... hoping someone can point me to a solution where I can manage all this (if it even exists). If it doesn't exist, is someone building something?
I understand that, but what is the advantage of a Fedora user, your are testing bleeding edge stuff for RH, only if you are in for the bleeding edge and experimental features and you also are working with RH and CentOS servers.2
You can always just order it with maxed out RAM. With 4 USB-C ports you don't need to replace the internal storage - you can just add more outside the box (like we used to do with our Suns and SCSI Macs - I still have a pile of 3-drive boxes that connected to my SPARCclassic). With that, 64 gigs can probably carry us for a good 3-5 years without too much of a hassle. The fast network option also makes sharing NAS through the office an attractive option.
I'm literally building this right now to fulfill this need. If you shoot me an email to hugo@opensourceanswers.com, I can let you know when it's ready. My plan is to charge a premium (similar to github prices) per user, and pass on compute costs directly to the customer with no markup

It does - but those are essentially crapware. All the big titles are in ~60$ range and people are used to paying so much for them.
without a bezel there is nothing for the case to wrap around.
There's a good chance that after a very long bull market, we are entering a bear market in which stock price will stay flight or even slowly decline for a long time.

P/E ratios are too high, particularly for tech stocks, and the entire US equity market will eventually have to go through a bear market.
I recently got a 2018 for work and I'm enjoying the keyboard. I like clicky keyboards with low travel, I think it makes touch typing easier and I have to move my fingers up and down less. After going back to my 2015, the keys on the older one feel mushy and not as clicky, and I tend to drag my fingertips across the tops of the keys because they have more travel.

I never used a 2016/2017 keyboard though so I can only compare 2018 to 2015, and I like the 2018.
if you scroll long enough, it switches and starts scrolling down.
I wonder if the Mac-mini has the thermal capacity to avoid CPU throttling on tasks that push a 1080Ti eGPU to its peak.

Also, at that price, might as well buy the iMAC
I don't really know how to address questions when it comes to the answer of "that's just basic history". Maybe history is wrong but I'm always wary of being expected to make the case that it isn't...
I agree, the software is the primary factor locking me in as well. I am happy to pay a premium for great hardware (and software), but I don't like the feeling of being ripped off. I guess at some point these bad feelings will outweigh the benefits of the platform. For me personally, that point isn't far in the future anymore.
I'd go with a bigger one, just in case. I'm pretty sure future releases of macOS with all its tooling will take more and more of that space and I'd expect the machine to be useful for 3-5 years (usually more, as per Mac tradition - my mini is 6 years old and the only thing I want to upgrade in it is the hard drive).
39 buck. kind of too expensive for what it is.
> I'm not so sure it's strong anymore. Ubuntu all but owns the set it and forget it desktop market and Arch is effectively the standard for power users.

In my neck of the woods, neither of these is true. Ubuntu was the standard for a long time and is almost certainly a strong majority of new desktop installs, but I've seen Fedora make something of a resurgence over the last couple years to the point where "all but owns" is too strong a phrase.

I know one person who uses Arch. (I will say this: unlike the Gentoo folks, you can't tell an Arch user.) And it seems...fine. But I think calling it a "standard" for power users is a stretch.
Full-time PhD student, I use it for pretty much everything besides running actual simulations. It’s the only thing I take to the office.

LiquidText for reading books and articles, Notes Plus for note taking. Both are a little more finicky than other options, but they each have unique features I find indispensable. (If you haven’t completed a handwritten problem set with lasso-and-drag and scribble-to-erase, you don’t know what you’re missing.)

I do most of my writing straight into Google Docs on the Apple keyboard cover. I also have a LaTeX app and a Jupyter console (Juno) that see some use when I’m away from home, but I still prefer to work on that stuff at a PC.

Edit: Oh, and outside of work, I use GarageBand with a Lightning stereo condenser mic to record music. I doubt if anyone with real production skills would enjoy it, but it works perfectly for my purposes.
I'm coming to realize one of the key skills for a data engineer to have nowadays is "productionizing" notebook code from data scientists and PMs and teaching them to make it more testable and modular in the first place.
Yes, it's what most people want. As a developer, I do not miss the days of trying to drive people to my website to find my app. If you were lucky you could get a mention on a well-known website or one of the many download aggregators, but it was hit and miss. The Mac had some very good ones, but with Windows, not one was big enough to be worth your time. It was a nightmare. Getting noticed on the app store is non-trivial, but at least your product is already in the place where users are going to find stuff. It's one less thing to have to worry about.

As a user, I don't miss having to search the general web to find something for my computer, only to be misled by poor results in the search engine, malware download sites, software that would be the perfect solution but doesn't run on my OS, ads everywhere, etc. Now I have one place to go and everything on it works with my system. Sure it's not perfect, and discovery could be improved, but there's no malware that I've ever run into, and everything I actually need is there.

Also, it's a false dichotomy between PC OSes and iOS. Both macOS and Windows have app stores that their users use.
TL;DR: It depends on the number of subnetworks you search over and the cost of training each subnetwork.

You could define a search space with a single DNN, and give it one single iteration, and this would behave identically to the canned DNNEstimator.

In a slightly more interesting case, suppose your search space consists of (say) 5 DNNs that cost you X each to train over (say) 1 epoch per iteration, and you train them over (say) 10 iterations, that would cost you around X x 5 x 10 = 50X.

Do consider, though, that using AdaNet to explore, train, select, and ensemble these 50 DNNs is probably worth it considering how annoying it would be to do it without AdaNet :) Additionally, since AdaNet is implemented as a TensorFlow Estimator, it is easy to scale up the number of machines to speed up the training, if this is something you want.

It's so fucked up on my linux thinkpad that it's funny
Your comment confused me a little bit as it sounded like it was done without her knowing but I would think you would notice that. "Cupping", for those like me who had never heard of it, involves putting devices on your body (There are different sizes, shapes, and materials) that "suck" up some of your skin into the vessel.

How to Hack a Facebook Account Without Downloading Anything (2018)
Are you saying that non-welfare states never have a permanent unemployed class? Or (non-exclusive or) that they have fewer unemployed, on average?
This is a fairly trivial problem to work around, although maybe this should be one of those "sane default" kind of things. Set the environment variable JAVA_HOME=/etc/alternatives/jre or point it at the specific OpenJDK version you want. That's what /etc/alternatives is for.
I haven't read it in detail so my apologies if you explain this in the notebooks; can AdaNet handle blocks with variable-length skip connections (like DenseNet), or even come up with AmoebaNet-style models on its own? What is the meta-strategy guiding the hyperparameter/architecture selection process (grid search/Bayesian/etc.)? Thanks!
Thanks, you're right, that's what I meant. I have thankfully forgotten most of what I ever knew about these technologies.
Astronomers Creep Up to the Edge of the Milky Way’s Black Hole
Death metal and fast aggressive music is an avenue of release for me. I listen to it when working out, and when trying to get in focus when coding under pressure. It's easily one of the most fun things I do all day.

I don't watch music videos or dwell on the lyrics (or understand them most of the time), so I don't really see much of the gory side, and also most of the bands I like do not have much of a gory persona anyways. It's all just fast, high energy, quite complex and stimulating music to me to get my heart rate up, and I love it!

Now, back to Amon Amarth... :-)
Aha! I see now. So it's a temporal thing.

It's pretty much the 2017 nTB MBP in a slightly changed chassis with touchID and 8th generation chips added. Now we know why they didn't refresh the nTB this year. Eventually, the price is the same.
>We can't all live in the country, that's not sustainable either.

Why is this viewed as such a given that you state it without any evidence? Once people stop commuting for jobs, it's very feasible for everyone to spread out and live cheaper in smaller cities/towns and rural areas.

Someone who lives in the East Bay and commutes to Sunnyvale every morning has a much larger carbon footprint than someone working remotely from Yuma.
Wouldn't it funny if sometime in a few years you'll need to take out a loan or lease the apple products instead of being able to buy them outright.
I don't love it, but between this and the mac mini update, I think Apple is back on a more reasonable path.

The overall laptop lineup makes actual sense now if you pretend that the macbook and macbook pro without touchbar models don't exist. And I suspect that they won't exist much longer.

The only thing you get for an extra hundred dollars for the macbook Pro escape is a higher base speed processor with the same turbo boost on an older generation chip and Iris Graphics vs UHD. Worse battery life. Heavier. No touchID. Same thunderbolt 3 ports.

The macbook is even more of an anemic joke now. I guess if you really have to have the thinnest and lightest mac laptop possible, this one's for you.

But pretend for a moment that those confusing models aren't in the lineup, and the whole thing starts to make sense after they get EOL'd. The new MBA handles the low end competently. There's some gray area when you upgrade it to 16GB rams and 512GB SSD. That's the same price as the entry level 13" macbook pro with touchbar. But now you get real differentiation between the Air and Pro line. 4 thunderbolt 3 ports, 2 core vs 4 core. Higher base and boost clock speed; same generation chip. True-tone display. Option to upgrade the processor.

What sticks out to me the most here is how completely hamstrung Apple is by Intel right now. There should be a 32gig RAM option for the 13". But it's a different architecture than what they have on the 15" models that do support it, and they couldn't cram into the 13" form factor.

It's not ideal. USB-C is still a shitshow, and I wish you could opt for at least one step up in processor. But it's actually better than I expected. They also didn't completely ruin the mac mini. They gave us pretty much what we wanted out of that. So overall, I'm pretty pleased with the direction. I just can't decide if I should wait another couple years to see more of that direction until the macbook pros get a redesign with these ideas or if I can live with this MBA as an upgrade from my older stuff for now.

My biggest concern was that every new design and product matrix since the trashcan mac pro has been a massive, "WTF are you thinking, Apple?" This makes me feel like they've figured some things out about what people want out of their Macs. Or made the leadership decision to listen to what they already knew people wanted. The next gen pro should be very exciting.
Making a controller an optional peripheral means that support is an afterthought for most app makers and that games are mostly designed with touch in mind. Nintendo and Sega have showed time and again throughout their histories that optional controllers get little to no 3rd party support.

No, she did not complain about seeing him there. You are getting mixed up. He actually made an advance on her there. That is also not okay for a boss to do in a swingers club either.
I've worked in insurance for almost a decade (P&C), and I believe what the U.S. calls "health insurance" is a travesty.

"Insurance is a means of protection from financial loss. It is a form of risk management, primarily used to hedge against the risk of a contingent or uncertain loss"

Insurance should never be used for something CERTAIN and inelastic such as healthcare. For specific health risks, sure, but for standard care? It makes absolutely no sense.

I don't know how the U.S. can fix its healthcare crisis, but it's an absolute disaster. Other countries don't have 48k allergy tests.
Canonical is not really "better" than IBM. You're jumping out of the pot and into the fire.
Answering this question means you have to understand a bit about how computers work. More cores doesn't automatically translate to faster performance. Photoshop is lightly threaded for most operations.

They didn't mention losing stamina to be able to write with a pen for more than 15 minutes either.
> Care to give actual data to substantiate that, Apple?

The chip seems like its designed to beat benchmarks honestly. The A12x has an incredibly HUGE L1 data cache of 128kB, but only has an L2 level of 8MB after that (while your typical Desktop / Laptops have 64kB L1 data cache, 256kB or 512kB L2 cache, and then 8MB L3 after that).

Anandtech recompiled SPECint2006 for the iPhone A12 processor (and the A12x is a faster version than the A12) and it performed well in benchmarks: (https://www.anandtech.com/show/13392/the-iphone-xs-xs-max-re...)

This includes a suite of tests from perl, to GCC, to h264 (CPU-only) encoding. Now, it isn't "official" SPECint, but Anandtech hopefully used the correct compile flags for the test. (We just gotta hope anandtech did everything correctly to make it an apples-to-apples comparison).

> What does that even mean? The footnote is even more obscure than the marketing piece. "Fast" measures what exactly?

Fast graphics generally refers to the ability to run graphic benchmarks well.

So benchmarks like Ice Storm (OpenGL) would run faster on the iPad A12X. GPUs need to calculate where all those triangles go after affine transformations: there are a lot of matrix-multiplications that go into GPUs.

Its a bit of a special case, so this is generally called "graphics performance".
The butler did it :-)

theButler.cut(cheese using: knife)

Seriously: I think every programming language has that problem. If cheese and knife are arguments to a function, one of them comes before the other. It doesn’t matter much whether there’s a parenthesis, a comma or whitespace between them.

And yes, that includes esoteric programming languages that inflect variable names to indicate what’s the subject and what the object of an action (example: http://users.monash.edu/~damian/papers/HTML/Perligata.html)

They make some words special not by position, but by inflecting them differently.
I wonder how that works for the Mac Mini. I'm honestly not sure if it even has a microphone built in or not.
I dream of this, and I actually think Ubuntu is up to the job nowadays, but I'm hip-deep in Mac-only software. In particular, switching off OmniFocus would be a nightmare to me, so I guess Apple owes OmniGroup a thank you and Christmas card.

I'm with you, though, holding on to my 2015 MBP for dear life. I have newer MBPs at work, and the keyboard and touch bar (or lack of Escape, more accurately) are significant impairments for me whenever I'm not at desk.

The new MBA actually looks like a better choice to me for most development than the current MBPs. That's saying something.
Yes, of course! Every time someone says "You could buy a cheaper PC", you forget to mention that I would be forced to run Windows/Linux.

Not just for Mac Mini, there is a cheaper and better PC version of every single Mac hardware.

If you are running XCode, you have no choice but official Mac or Hackintosh.

You didn't install a JDK, though. You installed a JRE. (Ubuntu does this too, BTW - openjdk-N-jre versus openjdk-N-jdk.) If you Google "fedora jdk install" I get this page:

https://openjdk.java.net/install/

Which says pretty clearly: "The java-1.8.0-openjdk package contains just the Java Runtime Environment. If you want to develop Java programs then install the java-1.8.0-openjdk-devel package."

The standard package is to run software, not to compile software. Because most people who manage systems--hi--want to know what can be built on a system (and, more importantly, what can't be). You might not like that, and that's totally fine, but it's consistent and in my experience distros that have trouble with that (CentOS never, Ubuntu rarely, Arch rather often) quickly become ones I don't consider reliable.
The philosophy of the kernel is to work for everyone's need. Its a good question, if these enhancements are of broad benefit and unobtrusive as they seem it's likely better to upstreaming it vs out-of-band patches.
Here's a company working on that by using robots that you connect to through VR and interact with things through their bodies.

Am I the only one, who is excited and considering buying this thing? I'm still on 2012 Air. It's good device, but showing it's age (slow CPU and only 4GB of Ram, the screen resolution is joke). But new Air seems very compelling to me. I'll miss the magsafe though.

Also I would like to know if the SSD can be upgraded later (unofficially of course). 2012 Air SSD can be replaced, using cheap reduction (from proprietary apple to standard M2). Not sure about the newer models.
> As I understand it, Apple claims that by simply changing its online service to deny signing certain boot loaders, it can prevent many OS downgrades to versions with known vulnerabilities.

That seems like a very reasonable ability considering that "Full Security" mode says, "This mode requires a network connection at software installation time."

I'd guess it's a challenge/response deal with the T2 in your Mac issuing a challenge to Apple. The response could be as simple as Apple signing the signature of its software with the challenge, i.e. response = sign(challenge + sign(MacOS))

Presumably it's whatever Apple currently does for iOS, as my understanding is that it has the same downgrade protection feature and that is part of what makes jailbreaking so precious, you need to be on the vulnerable version of iOS in the relatively short window it's still being served by Apple (aka before Apple patches some or all of your exploit chain).
