Pedro here, co-founder of Brex (YC W’17, https://brex.com/) writing about a major product update. In June 2018 we first shared with the HN community the launch of our corporate card for startups. Here’s our first post: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17418813

Just as we built our underwriting and issuing platform from scratch, we built our rewards platform internally, rather than use third-party software that typically comes as a module within existing bank industry softwares.

I have outlined the technical details of what we built in this blogpost. Would love to hear some feedback from the HN community :)
Finally the beginning of the end for the Lightning port! Hopefully next years iPhone will be USB-C as well.
They mentioned that they have magnets all over the thing.
Too late.

I was an Apple user for years but I recently purchased an AMD Ryzen based development box which I am extremely happy with.

My iPhone SE will be my last iPhone as well - I won't purchase an expensive mobile 'phone that lacks something as basic as a headphone jack.

In my totally-unscientific-and-anecdotally-based theory:

1) The US is where all the sexiest, high-end laptops are made.

2) The newest hardware often has flaky support at first, basically until the people who are using it (Red Hat engineers, etc.) submit patches to get hardware support into the kernel.

3) Getting those laptops working thus requires using a bleeding edge kernel, which is most easily achieved by using Fedora.

Again, just my personal experience. It happened to me twice (first with the original Chromebook Pixel and then with the Dell XPS 13 9343) where I used Fedora because only Fedora with the latest kernel properly supported the hardware. Now my XPS 13 is several generations old and well-supported by all the major distros, but I stuck with Fedora because I really enjoyed the distro.

Its probably just your desktop ergonomics

Ideally, your monitor's central point to your eyes should be parallel to the ground. You can slouch in your chair slightly so long as your back is straight. Elbows should be supported by the desk or armpad. Feet should touch the ground fully, if not get a foot restpad

If you want to reduce backpain from prolonged sitting / standing, I usually do deadhangs. Basically a pullup, without pulling up. Also foamrollers on floor/ massageball against wall reduces need to do any massage therapy
We used to say the same thing about PC133 ram in the G4 powermacs. Just the ol Apple tax. No one said they are low margin.
I don't blame you. The one plus 6T released yesterday with the teardrop notch.

It is trend among chinese phones (Huawei,Oppo, Vivo, OP ..basically BBK electronics)

OP 6T is the first phone popular in the west with this style, and I find it to be amazing.

Still like the MiMix 3 the most, with no notch. But, the OP 6T is the first one that's not egregious.
Is tape even cheaper than spinning rust? Last time I priced it, the per-GB costs were similar and the tape drives themselves are quite expensive. Tape is a more reliable backup, since the moving parts are not part of the storage, but it's not a cheaper backup.

The last generation of Mini's had a replaceable drive. I have an office here full of Mac Mini's where I bought the base 5400RPM drive model and swapped them all out to SSD's. Which by the way I have been very happy with as a way to get desktops for my entire team.

It's kind of a nightmare the first time, it took me like an hour, very slowly disassembling the entire thing and replacing the drive with the iFixit tools I ordered. The second time took like 15 minutes and it got easier from there, it's just kind of remembering all these steps.

Needless to say it's ridiculous that they built it that way, it would have been trivial to keep the form factor and make it easy. But whatever, it's no big deal to swap out. And there's a couple places in NYC that'll do it for you for $50 as well.

Hopefully the new one will be the same way, it does look pretty much like the same box. If the RAM is also upgradeable (which it appears to be) then the platform would definitely remain attractive.
Investment in new spinning drive technologies is going away though. Nobody wants to spend R&D money on coming up with patents and ideas which will be worthless in 5 years when SSD's overtake.

Science investment requires a new technology to have a prospect of a return for most of the ~20 year patent lifespan for it to look like a good investment, and spinning bits of metal aren't that right now.
Barely a few hours ago at Apple's iPad Pro keynote the presenters compared to Xbox One S and they showed off a games playing at 60 FPS and pitted it against Console Quality Gaming. I won't really be surprised if they end up pulling off a Apple TV powered by the same specs to enable the same kind of gaming power? Or maybe have something like Switch Dock with the iPad pro itself.
The problem with most tourist destinations is the same as the tragedy of the commons: there's a bunch of tour guides, restaurants, airlines, hotels, etc that can sell a piece of the common heritage, and there's no overall coordination of the total amount served.

I went to Galapagos, and they were thinking of limiting the total number of visitors. To me this make a lot of sense. You can't have hordes of people showing up, it'll wreck the place. I would do an auction, 10k or whatever highest bidders get to enter. A tourist attraction could then act like a monopoly and extract the maximum out of it, without straining themselves serving those customers (yeah I've got BT internet).

Granted, there will be a lot of politics about the distribution of that pie, but at least you can say you are getting the most out of the situation.
This is what I am hoping for. I want to have my tablet mode with iOS apps and interface. Then I want to switch into laptop/desktop mode, being able to spin up any desktop application.

CRUSH algorithms are used to overcome rebuild limits in modern arrays. https://www.ssrc.ucsc.edu/Papers/weil-sc06.pdf
No you don't. It is a separate variable.

For example, a parameter n is passed to a function, and then a struct is defined based on n.

struct {
uint32_t header;
uint32_t array[n];
uint32_t footer;
}foo;

The function fills in the struct. Maybe it then sends the struct via a packet-oriented protocol, perhaps over a datagram socket, so the length is transmitted implicitly in the packet size.
Both the incident in question and Andy Rubin's incident took place in 2013, and nobody at Google has denied either account. DeVaul himself has apologized for the incident, so claiming someone is just making a baseless accusation is nonsensical.

Google's statement in their employee email was about firing 48 people for sexual misconduct since 2016. Which is to say, they may not be turning a blind eye now, but definitely were then. And of course, as the article points out, even if they've improved their handling of these incidents, DeVaul is still working there.

I recently wrote an article[0] about how I use my iPad. A few of my favorites are: I write in Apple Notes and Working Copy[1] (for markdown). I wireframe and do basic layout design with Keynote. Keynote is surprisingly good for this, especially because I can collaborate easily with other team members. I also use Procreate[2] for sketching. I do some server management (mainly connecting to a RaspberryPi I carry) using Blink[3].

XDP is the future of high speed networking in the Linux Kernel. What's amazing about XDP is how accessible it is compared to user space kernel bypass. Literally anyone can write an eBPF program, and it even sanity checks it for you! Very excited to see all the amazing work FB puts into eBPF. I've used BCC extensively and it's amazing the granularity you have over resource consumption with eBPF.

Also it's really cool how much FB has put into butterFS and cgroups. They're doing very foundational work for the container space, which is very cool.

Instead of changing the whole tool, accept that you're always going to be married to github and change the serialization-layer to be source control friendly.

What's the difference? iPad apps use the full potential of the machine, like in any computer.

Yes, most iPads in existence are much slower than this iPad Pro, and yes, most people will be buying the inferior sub $400 one.

But also, most people have PCs with an Intel GPU, or a really low end discrete GPU... that doesn't stop game makers to make games that can't run on most machines, or Adobe to stop making photoshop.

Let's see what happens with the iPad.
The mini with FaceID is the iPhone XS Max, more or less.
If cities really had a problem with "overtourism", there's a simple solution:

1. Gouge the hell out of tourists by jacking up the taxes on hotels & tourist attractions. Exemptions provided only for those with local IDs/passports

2. Redistribute the resulting tax dollars to all city residents

Either you will successfully drive away all tourists, or you'll be making so much money that your residents will love them.

The fact that no city is actually doing this, makes me think that no one really has a problem with "overtourism". They just love to complain about it, while still hooked to the GDP boost tourists bring.

You are comparing prices without VAT to prices with VAT. In France VAT is 20%, quite typical in the EU, so the comparison is not fair at all.

There's VAT in many states and cities in the United States, although typically at rates much lower than in the EU. Buying a MacBook Air in New York City for instance will be at least $1,300 (combined VAT rate of 8.875%).

[EDIT] Granted, the exchange rate is not great, but it's definitely not as bad as you make it sounds. In the EU sticker price is the final price, in the US the sticker price is a baseline on top of which any ridiculous fee and unexpected tax can (and will) be added. Unlike in the EU you really don't know how much you will pay until you get the final bill...
There are two things that need to be understood, there is the discourse and then there is the way the discourse is conducted - which can very easily break the law.

Amazon has higher prices on a lot of things now, and most local places will match Amazon. You also risk getting a fake product, and their product selection is poor at best now. Shipping has been extremely iffy and unreliable for months now. I cancelled Prime and haven't noticed any loss.

I tried ordering angled cutting pliers for cutting excess legs off of my PCB's when soldering, and other than Hakko which was an add-on item so I couldn't buy it unless I wanted 3 of them, most other brands were cheap Chinese trash.

I've had 34/35 items arrive from Aliexpress in the last month from Cambodia, China, and Russia. One was mis-delivered by USPS in USA. Amazon can't deliver correctly to the Whole Foods 1/4 mile from their HQ.

> I envision a Smalltalk-ish environment where, in my application running in a browser, I send a message to an object telling it to save itself.

It sounds to me like "what if Javascript had SOAP", heh.

We can envision lots of things. The beauty of software engineering/architecture is you can envision almost anything.

The trick is that the more complex the thing is, the harder it is to pull of _well_, and the easier it is to end up with a monster.

The complicated things take more expertise/skill/experience to design, and _also_ take more development time to produce -- and on an ongoing basis to maintain. And it's not always clear where development resources come from on 'shared commons' like platforms (unless they are proprietary and only available for a fee). The current front-end JS environment is already _pretty darn complex_ of course. How well it's pulling it off, well, is a matter of debate central to the OP.

On, and then there's getting different actors to coordinate in thing that require that (like browser's supporting something).

I can envision it too. But I wouldn't wager much on it happening in a way that actually results in an improved development environment (instead of a monster).
It means that it can encrypt and decrypt data at the same speed as the interface/underlying storage. Encrypted storage doesn't slow down storage versus unencrypted usage.
No, but iOS can kill apps in the background during times of high memory pressure.
If there was the demand for it it would be easy to make a battery pack that mirrors the size and fits on the back, no?

Might just block the usb-c, but I thank that would be fine. If you need tho port you can run from the internal battery for a while or get an adapter with power-through for a more permanent setup
Alternate title: the front-end sucks now because we have too many options for doing generally the same thing, and they all aren't compatible with each other, but my way, the way I first learned, is best, and something about functional programming even though UIs arbitrarily necessitate or do not necessitate state.

I, personally, place blame on WC3 for this state of affairs, as Web components should have solved the UI interoperability problem, observed objects were dropped which regardless of what one thinks of them (I think a trie is better) would have unified state management clearly (replaced by Proxy? yeah, I see everyone using that string-only thing for state), and various other specs should have solved most of these issues, but I guess they were too busy making people leave their org over DRM, rather than making a useful, consistent, easily-produced internet. Who needs standards when all of the for-profit board members have their own un-interoperable libraries?
sending telemetry data is optional and I believe it is opt-in instead of opt-out, plus it can be fully disabled

That’s interesting with the cars. I drive a used Camry and my cousin drives a brand new Yaris, and while I’ve had precisely 0 problems with the Camry she has constant problems with the “budget” Toyota model.

One interesting point in the discussion of UEFI secure boot: it appears there is no way to boot OSes other than Mac OS and Windows without disabling secure boot entirely.

> By default, Mac computers supporting secure boot only trust content signed by Apple. However, in order to improve the security of Boot Camp installations, support for secure booting Windows is also provided. The UEFI firmware includes a copy of the Microsoft Windows Production CA 2011 certificate used to authenticate Microsoft bootloaders.

> NOTE: There is currently no trust provided for the the Microsoft Corporation UEFI CA 2011, which would allow verification of code signed by Microsoft partners. This UEFI CA is commonly used to verify the authenticity of bootloaders for other operating systems such as Linux variants.

It isn't clear whether new root CAs can be added or if there is a customer-accessible setup mode for secure boot at all.

Another part of the discussion is about the various levels of secure boot enforcement. In the default "Full Security" mode, the Mac OS setup (or Boot Camp assistant for Windows boot) requests that Apple sign the OS boot loader with a signature derived from the T2 chip's unique ID, and then the boot firmware on the T2 checks for this machine-specific signature on boot. 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.
