Maybe it would make more sense to integrate those Editors then directly into the browser. Make it customizable and just create an API that can be used by some WebExtension, and deliver one out of the box. But at the end, a well adapted fast loading editor which is well integrated into the rest of the ecosystem might be some kind of next level for the Webstack-Platform.
Not really. Unless made by Nazis or people under the age of 7 I’m pretty much always interested in skimming a thoughtful list of nonfiction book recommendations.
I agree. Anecdote: I bought a used iPhone 6, and then after a time, passed it on to a 3rd party as I upgraded to another used iPhone. I can't believe I'm that unique.

> The article is dead wrong about the economics of whether buying a house is a good investment. So much so as to be intellectually dishonest.

What part of the article is that? Because that certainly wasn't my take away. The article is about whether housing can be affordable and a good financial investment, giving large returns, at the same time. Housing as an "investment" in your life, family or security isn't what is meant.
It's funny that people object to C++ while having no problem with GObject model which is a bit like doing the work of Cfront manually. The worst of both worlds and I am saying this as someone who generally prefers C to C++.

>System76 is well positioned to be in this space to shall I dare to say - compete with Apple? Only if they invest in design. It sounds like a stupid non essential thing but design sells.

Going into an organic artsy & crafty direction vs. high-end industrial design like Apple is a good choice if you support the DIY spirit (e.g. Linux & open source), it's more authentic in that context, and you won't be compared to Apple or perceived as imitation of them.

It's also a good alternative to the cyber futurist gamer look that dominates the PC industry.
The title has a question mark at the end.

The article then contains the various answers of a variety of people they posed that question to.

The publication is called the chronicle of higher education and the people they asked for their thoughts on the answer all work in higher education.

That seems like exactly the kind of thing I’d expect to see when clicking on that headline.
I understand the contention, but I don't think it's all that poor of a wording. In the end, who has more influence on the behavior of a neural network: The guy who wrote maybe a few dozen lines setting up its architecture, or the people who labeled the training data?

You should at least try to come up with an alternative headline that conveys to the average reader what is happening here, because "labeling data for machine learning" is not something that works either.

Can I actually "flag" this story? I am not even sure if this could be classified as Fake news, but they are wrong and not true on so many front, and you don't even need to be an industry expert or insider to argue against it. I fully support the right to repair, but that doesn't mean you could try to spin a false story.

"The announcement “makes Apple sound noble and sustainable when any manufacturer that needs to buy aluminium is also buying 75 percent recycled content without making any special effort,” Gordon-Byrne says.

and it’s hard to see how Apple’s announcement amounts to a significant environmental victory if it’s not creating incentives to dramatically increase the amount of recycled aluminium on the market."

If it was that easy every other manufacturer could have done it ages ago. It is only remaining 25% right? Others now has an incentive to copy it, 100% recycle Aluminium. And what Apple announced is actually an Aluminium Alloy, my wild guess is that 100% recycled aluminium couldn't be as good as with the mix pure aluminium, hence Apple needs to create / search an alloy for it.

"But with 1.3 billion active devices worldwide (and countless more in landfills), Apple is still responsible for a huge amount the world’s dangerous electronic junk."

Out of the 1.3B iPhone Sold since launch, more than 65% / ~850M are still in active use. 400M iPad sold since launch, conservative estimate of ~250M in use ( I could bet my money it is closer to 300M if not more ), and 100M Mac User out of ~170M Mac sold last 10 years.

Total e-waste of 450M iPhone, 150M iPad, and 70M Mac. That is roughly 530M Pound of e-waste over the course of 10 years.

And Apple manage to recycle 90 Million pounds of their own product in 2015 alone on their first year give back programme. 2016 and 2017 they have managed improved their recycling speed and efficiency with faster Robots, without mentioning total recycled numbers. Even if they did not increase their total recycled product, over 4 years time that could be 360M total recycled e-waste.

360M out of 530M Pound !

Both estimate are in lowest / worst case scenario.

And in case the author doesn't know, there are current roughly 3.2B of non Apple Smartphone in use. Out of a total of ~7.2B produced over the last 10 years, mind giving me some thoughts where are these 4B Smartphones?

Note: Most of the numbers are on top of my head, but they should be fairly accurate and not off by +/- 10% up to end of 2017. Feel free to correct if I am wrong.

All of these I bought before I even knew my wife.

I disagree with such broad claims about a monolithic "human nature".

> When all are guilty, no one is; confessions of collective guilt are the best possible safeguard against the discovery of culprits, and the very magnitude of the crime the best excuse for doing nothing.

-- Hannah Arendt

> a lot of people will have to die of violent death for humanity to evolve and come to its senses

I hate to be that person, but I think that's still optimistic. People don't get smarter after having been sufficiently brutalized, both learning and evolution break down when there's just a whole lot of pressure and chaos, rather than speeding up. Just like children need both stimulation and "action", as well as "peace" and feeling of acceptance and security in which to assemble and integrate their personality from their experiences. If it's all just loud noises and bright colors, development gets stunted or halted, not accelerated.

Furthermore I also think it's also optimistic to think it would just "burn down" with everyone starting from scratch: I think it would just consolidate the power of assorted sociopaths further, or even finally. I'm not worried about human extinction, if anything I'm worried of us constructing a gravity well totalitarianism we might never escape from.

> Every era of civilization was build on the ashes of the former,

By definition, because we use such catastrophes to divide things into "eras". However, it's not like civilization is stagnant between "eras", eras are just labels, lines we draw, that could also be drawn in different ways.

If you want to sell your brand of hammer you spend millions putting it in front of everyone's faces in ads on tv, in magazines, if you can organically by getting people to talk about it among themselves. This last is better because it seems more authentic.

You do this because the biggest barrier is not getting someone to pick between foo and bar brand hammers its to consider foo a legitimate choice when they need a hammer so that they will spend their finite time learning about foo or their finite money on it.

People spend billions on this industry because it works whether you're selling hammers or hate. Imagining what works to sell hammers doesn't work to sell hate is a lack of imagination.

Incidentally the basic infrastructure to facilitate communication is dns and http not facebook pages. The sooner people learn that the better.

With that said they appear to be paying people 4.5x more money than they had been making before, so it’s hard to get mad at them.

As someone on the C++ side of the fence I once did something similar.

Our data structures second term required a medium size project in C for a DB management system based on B-Tree and low level i-node manipulation.

I decided to go with anonymous structs, using pointer fields as methods, so something like GObject. Additionally each translation unit played the role of a poor man's module.

While it was an interesting experience, it isn't something I ever considered doing again.

I once saw a great quote which was, "maybe food is too cheap". This is probably true, we could probably eat better quality, organic food grown in a more diverse way, it would just cost more. On the flip side, it would be more valued so we'd have less waste.

I can't imagine the amount of "non-valued" food, fruit vegetables etc which end up in the bin.

Exactly because of that, back in the old days Red-Hat had a strong presence among Linux desktops.

It was all about Red-Hat vs SuSE, and Madrake was built on top of Red-Hat compiled for Pentium with stronger focus on desktop users, using KDE.

Now Mandrake is gone, people keep forgetting SuSE is still around, and there are Linux users that never seen a Red-Hat desktop.

You can’t settle down there. You can live there for a time. The very fact that someone even thinks that this is a question that can be asked about China reveals a lot about how little those outside China know what it is. This viewing other countries though the lens of your own is not just a western thing. I once shared with a chinese collegue about my plans to travel to various cities throughout canada upon my return, living here and there, and they were very concerned. When I asked what they were concerned about they asked me if I had managed to get all my various permissions papers from work units, city councils, provincial authorities, etc. He was aghast when I told him none of that is needed in canada. He told me that they had been told other countries operated just like China does.

> We overproduce food now...

The alternatives to Roundup tend to be worse than Roundup. That's why people use Roundup. That's not to say Roundup per se is absolutely necessary, but farming without pesticides doesn't work at the scale necessary to feed the human population. There's no choice between "overproduction" and "appropriate production" by getting rid of pesticides. Despite all the overproduction, we still have spikes in food prices caused by bad harvests. Limiting production even more would be risky.

> ... and organic farming techniques, of widely adopted, wouldn't make it impossible to continue to produce enough.

First of all, "organic farming" is marketing BS. It doesn't have any properly defined meaning, it also uses pesticides (just not those deemed "not organic") which aren't harmless either, it is vastly more expensive even at scale (which by now it has, due to high demand in rich countries). It's wishful thinking that it could replace modern farming.
JEP 230: Microbenchmark Suite
My guess is that not only is life is much more complex nowadays, but we are continually showered by polished profiles on Instagram et al showing lives that our own do not compare to. This creates feelings of inferiority and missing out, and eventually depression and other emotional problems. Add to that the general pattern towards a society of increasing inequality, and it's possible to see why in this hypercompetitive context so many people are struggling to maintain a baseline of self-esteem.
This can't be upvoted enough. Makes me thinking that using published source code and reproducing/validating results is completely orthogonal. Maybe it's a good thing the source code for science gets not published.
Is this some special case? I can’t find sources listing it that high.
Interesting, though little in the way of hard evidence. I personally write in the evenings, and do an editing pass the next morning. However, I do feel like I write code better in the mornings than later in the day. When I have an hour and a half before I leave for work and I decide to write some code, I've found that I can generally get a lot more done than I expected.

Supply and demand in the housing market is not about the supply of houses but about the supply of CREDIT.

As long as the banks are happy to lend large sums at low rates prices will go up, and as soon as the banks become more cautious, either raising rates or restricting how much they will lend, then prices will fall.

I'm sure many will continue to blame immigration but I challenge anyone to come up with any solid data to back up that claim.

We have seen this happen before and that wasn't because millions of people suddenly left the country overnight.
Ask HN: Motivation for personal projects when burnt out from work?
I’m about 5 years into “professional” development work. I used to constantly work on personal projects whether they went anywhere or not. I just loved using them as an excuse to learn something new!

But over the last year I’ve felt so burnt out from work that when I start thinking about personal project I doubt whether it’s worth my time if it goes nowhere. This has steered me on a path where any time I try to be productive in my own time, I end up doing more work. Is this a theme for anyone else?

In fairness to the article, it's quite clear about this:

"Samasource targets those currently earning around $2 a day, or less, in the so-called informal economy of odd - or dangerous - jobs. Samasource instead provides a living wage of around $9 a day."

Only after that do we get the dubious justifications. And the guy they're interviewing probably spends an unhealthy amount of time hanging out in NGO circles, where I'm sure this kind of thing goes down much more smoothly than mutually beneficial exchange.
The alternative is the real world, where you look into the eyes of the faces around you and put your energy into those relationships more than others. (Not being flippant. I was on FB 9 years, but realizing that I was prioritizing the far over the near was what got me to say goodbye).
As far as I am aware people can usually call for nonspecific violence without ending up locked up in America today either de jure or de facto.

Apple’s business model practically guarantees waste. Rolling out new, updated products and software each year makes perfectly functional tech obsolete and encourages consumers to toss electronics stuffed with heavy metals every few years.

So because Apple releases new software and hardware every year, that means that the phone I’m already using immediately stops working?

Such “planned obsolescence” is one reason Apple and rivals like Samsung, with its unending parade of new Galaxy phones, make so much money.

If Apple wanted to “obsolete” their phones, they would not update older phones, allow old devices that can’t be upgraded to download “the last compatible version” (it works back to my iPad 1 from 2010), etc.

For instance, the company uses proprietary screws that make it tough for consumers to tinker with their devices. It has also spent some of its considerable resources lobbying against “right to repair” legislation that would make it easier for third-party shops to fix your gadgets, creating roadblocks for consumers who would rather keep their old devices than buy new ones.

Or you can just take your phone to an authorize repair center. There is nothing I own that I could fix myself besides the one desktop I have.
Has the need really skyrocketed though? Or has the use of them just become more normalized (and perhaps more convenient thanks to the internet), and less people feel the need to just "suck it up" and deal with their problems alone?

Maybe the need didn't skyrocket but the demand did. People used to not have channels to read about their problem, so they were isolated and not talking about it. Now it's easier to anonymously get informed, create support group, join them without much social stigma.

I've created a few systems that had web code editors on them. One was a CMS based on C# MVC Razor, the users were technical themselves so editing HTML and some light C# was better for them than a WYSIWYG editor. Another was a data ingest pipeline system that allowed customization of stages via Javascript. The scripts were stored in a database and edited via a web page (again, it was a technical audience and very small scripts so a web editor made sense).
This would be too much added complexity for such a limited use case. Browsers are already approaching the complexity of an operating system and starting to bundle applications in them sounds like a weird thing to do when even operating systems are moving away from bundling.
