"It’s suspicious because it’s generally dangerous to walk around alone at night in large cities."

I didn't downvote you, though I thought your comment really needed a citation.

However, it's also probably true, given how often people are killed by drivers at night. It depends on a lot on the city. Similarly the suburbs are pretty dangerous when you consider road deaths and not just violent crime (though in places with presumed liability, operating your car unsafely _is_ a crime).

When I lived in Santa Monica walking across Wilshire blvd. at night was especially dangerous (25 mph limit but people routinely went 45mph+), and pedestrians were (and are) killed on a regular basis. My understanding is at least one of the cities you named (Atlanta) is considered a poster child in how to design a city to be dangerous for walking.

However, if you've walked in Amsterdam, Copenhagen, etc. at night you'll know a large city can be a lovely place for a night stroll.

I'd be surprised if Apple ever does more than the current two-window model. A multi-user feature would certainly be nice though.

I think iOS is mostly fine. I don't think it's supposed to be a macOS replacement. There are some things a Mac is better for and other things an iPad is better for. Apple wants you to have both.
No way you could buy an imported car, for starters. You had to be a Vysotsky to pull that off.

> especially seeing the success of tablet computing with the MS Surface.

MS Surface sales last quarter: 602,000.
iPad sales last quarter: 9.6 million. Even the Mac shifted over 5 million machines, all the more impressive when one considers that for much of that quarter staple models such as the Air were long, long overdue a refresh. The Surface sales figure presumably includes models that aren’t even tablets - the “Surface Laptop” is likely one of their best sellers I’d assume, given the attractive combination of price, design, specs and generally positive reviews.

While I too would love to see the features you suggest in iOS, Apple’s success in the tablet space is largely unprecedented for a computer manufacturer.
These are very unlikely to be $250 each considering they are niche produces made for the government. I'd guess more like $5k each.
I'm my experience, the irony is that Agile is agile about everything except itself. Companies adopt scrum, after reading a book or worse hiring consultants, and try to follow it by the letter without applying any intelligence or taking into account that one size rarely fits all.

Personal anecdote from working at the largest ISV, which went gung-ho on scrum such that careers called scrum evangelists were created, engineers and engineering managers became scrum masters and the program managers, jobs that should have become obsolete to an extent as scrum mastersv take in lots of those responsibilities, started doing who knows what. But of course anyone saying anything against the scrum was a dinosaur.
I think there's a possible future where small scale farming takes off because it makes small-scale farming profitable and leads to fragmentation of the agriculture market.

One other URL that might help understanding the "big picture" behind Capsicum is, and how it differs from most other sandboxing mechanisms, is this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capability-based_security. (It's not _that_ good, though; someone(tm) should eventually write an article explaining Capsicum from that point of view, since it's a pretty fundamental difference.)
>Is it a bad thing though? Imagine that everything on all streets is recorded, and when an incident happens a cop goes to the judge and asks for a warrant to view the footage for "Pike St, between 1st and 2nd ave, between 13:00 and 13:35, on Jan 3rd 2019".

There were never any other plan.

Leo Trotsky, for example, wrote that Soviet state should exploit its workers to attain its socialist goals, with hopes that at some point things would go sufficiently well that they will no longer feel exploited. If it never happens, too bad.

Stalin forced him away but he never had any other policy.

Fast forward to 1990, nobody wanted to be a part of Soviet state to lift a finger to keep it whole. And we're talking high ranking officials, army and state security here.

> For instance, what would be your solution to the 'NotifyIcon' example given in the linked article?

The notify icon code is poorly structured to begin with. Simply creating a NotifyIcon object adds it to the UI? That's an awful design. If there was an add to UI step then it would be a non-issue; the half-constructed NotifyIcon object would never get added to the UI. This issue is not magically resolved by having to explicitly handle every error; you can make the same mistake with twice as much code.

> This applies equally to both error codes and exceptions. If a method N layers down in your call stack changes its behavior, that's a potential breaking change regardless of your choice of error handling.

I'm not talking about changing behavior, I'm talking about changing implementation. Behavior is part of the contract. But being able to safely change implementation is the fundamental principle of abstraction and is the basis for polyphorphism. If a method today does a calculation using a database but tomorrow is refactored to use a webservice -- as long as the contract/behavior is unchanged -- then the rest of the code shouldn't have to know about it.
I think the story is always about a charismatic leader whose followers get so dependent that they can't even imagine living without that person. Then when the leader's ambitions don't work out the leader decides it's better not to live and the followers will kill themselves. Some of Hitler's followers killed themselves (and their children like Goebbels), people in Waco didn't try to escape. It's a weird psychology but I think it has happened many times in history.

I'm going to guess what they are before looking:

People that would have bought an album probably would have listened to each track ~5 times, say an album has 10 tracks, this is equivalent to 20k album sales. Apparently typical royalty on an album is ~$0.50 so I'm going to say $10k.

...checks...

$5k. Ok fairly low but I think that was a pretty good guess!
www is an atavism that doesn't make any sense today (as today the majority of web documents are generated dynamically, a URL is meant to identify a document rather than to locate it physically and public DNS and IP addresses rarely have 1-to-1 relation to a physical web server). Nevertheless many people still enter web addresses with www. Whenever somebody requests a URL with www it should just redirect to without www.

Yes, the first one. One thing I liked about it though is that the vendor uses uniform ioctl calling convention for pretty much everything they implement in the kernel, so I have modified strace to decode their ioctl payload, and I was able to rewrite most of their library code with my implementation, with the help of traces of their demo app. Now I can drop their complicated and buggy userspace code completely and use my own rootfs.

The kernel is harder, since they also violate GPL and don't provide kernel source code along with their terminal, and neither does their SoC vendor.
I don't have hard measurements, but maybe fewer round trips still results in a net decrease in transfer.

Also clients don't have to use QUIC.
This effect uses both WebGL and canvas 2d. I'd guess that for some reason the canvas 2d isn't using hardware acceleration on those browsers?

Somebody has made a version using WebGL alone[1] (sadly they got the refraction a bit wrong), try it to see if it works well enough (and let me know, I'm curious myself).

Don't do it. I grew up there. Parochial, small-minded, cliquey people, all the money is in construction and farming rather than tech, poor range of jobs, low wages, and relatively expensive real estate.

And there are some simple ways to make sure your earthquake risks are lower than other risks in your life.

1. Don't work in old buildings - especially hipster brick ones. (Maybe if they have added steel structure that looks ridiculously oversized: see Dux Central, what was Twisted Hop in Christchurch).

2. Avoid living on hills with unstable geology.

3. Avoid living in old apartments that are not up to 100% earthquake code.

Liquifaction really isn't as big an issue as you might think.

Anecdote: my parents are on top of the 7.2 Darfield quake, my sister's is very close to the 7.8 Kaikoura epicentre, and I live in Christchurch.
It does allow you to double spend though.
Isn't agile based on the idea that engineers are fundamentally interchangeable, and so doesn't everyone involved need to establish some fairly significant cognitive dissonance in order to implement agile "correctly"?

It's fairly obvious that engineers are not fungible, and that an entire process centered around that idea, is not only degrading and disrespectful, but an outright lie that needs to be propped up by illogical thinking, and faith-based arguments.

I'm not sure how you determine what is true, but using empirical evidence and sound reasoning is how I prefer to be presented with justifications for a process change. So far, I haven't seen any research showing that agile is an effective management system.

I forced myself to learn vim last year after my wrist started to hurt a lot. The reason was the right hand motion for reaching the mouse or key arrows, countless times per day. It took me ~1 week to be comfortable on home row and vim motion. I started learning it when I didn't have much work to do so it didn't keep me back from my workflow. Now I'm grateful for that decision and I find myself using the home row accidentally at unrelated apps. My productivity skyrocketed and my wrist is fine. For me its worth it 100%.

Most major editors and IDEs have Vim mode/plugins so users could try it without breaking their workflow.

I think the correct comparison is QUIC vs TCP+TLS.
The republicunts don't believe in healthcare for sick people.
> QUIC will increase the size of transport and this affects capped customers.

Will it? The TCP header is 20 bytes, the UDP header is 8 bytes. And in as far as packets are bigger, will it actually cause more traffic? For example, you have muliplexing of streams over one connection without head of line blocking, while with HTTP over TCP you need multiple TCP connections and thus multiple TLS connections for that, for example. Also, QUIC allows you to change UDP endpoints without the need to establish a new connection. I wouldn't be so sure it needs more bandwidth.

Now, arguably, building directly on IP would be better, but that is unfortunately an option that ISPs and other manufacturers and operators of middleboxes have destroyed, so I think you can't really blame QUIC for that. There really is no realistic way to evolve beyond the limitations of TCP unless you build on UDP. If QUIC succeeds and if we manage to move to IPv6 and get rid of NAT, though, I guess there might be a chance to one day see "QUIC on IP"--as far as the protocol is concerned, it should be trivial to adopt it for direct IP transport.
And they regularly get cracking good days too. Personally I prefer the Wellington weather to Christchurch (nor-wester, hayfever, overcast, too hot or too cold), or Auckland (I really don't like Auckland's weather).

For me the best places in NZ for weather are Nelson, or North of Kaitaia (the winterless North, although rains).
This weak argument from FreeBSD people is getting rather tiresome.

You can only call fork/exec if it's part of the pledge(2) promises, which you can later drop with subsequent calls to pledge. And with unveil(2) or even chroot(2) you can also place further restrictions on which binaries can be executed, and in which directories.

Systems like Capsicum would have you not be able to sandbox those programs at all. Users are left unprotected. So yes, if you pledge(2) a shell. It can call exec, but directly it can't call socket/connect(2), and the reduction of kernel attack surface is still significant. Software using privilege separation can safely leverage this.
Waco has its own layer of weird to it - people also didn't escape because doing so could get you strafed by the FBI.

Doesn't Multipath TCP already exist as a solution for this?
It's so weird, I've had something like this at a co-working space I was at. Upper level smelled "musty" or something to me, and I felt half-sick every time I would spend a full day up there. Went to the lower level and was fine. When they consolidated to the upper level only, I went with, and my symptoms returned. It was so consistent that I had to leave, but I still feel weird about it...how come no one else was experiencing this? They couldn't smell the same smell and seem to be fine working there day in and day out. Am I really that hypersensitive?

> Isn't agile based on the idea that engineers are fundamentally interchangeable,

No, “people and interactions over processes and tools” is based on exactly the opposite.

OTOH, most concrete methodologies sold as “Agile” do seem grounded in the interchangeability of workers (not just engineers, though those are the primary workers involved), but the idea of concrete development methodology (instead of metamethodology that specified how a group adapts dev. methodology to group needs) usable “as is” by multiple organizations is directly contrary to the Agile Manifesto.
One of the coolest things I've seen on HN in a long time.
I would agree with you in general, but at the same time I think there is key nuance of perspective here. "Human friendly rules" can be seen as unwelcome authoritarianism in different cultures, or even by different people within the same culture. In other words "human friendly" is an expression of your own personal views and values, which are subjective and well... personal.

Let's create an example, which is not all that hypothetical. There seems to be an increasingly large body of evidence indicating that social media is simply a net ill, potentially quite a severe one, on society. Do you begin to censor/prohibit it, or do you allow it to run mostly as it will? In our culture the answer is clear. We value freedom as something in and of itself, even when the outcomes it produces are not desirable. Yet it's certainly not particularly hard to imagine that another culture might see that eliminating these sort of events would be something that would contribute towards a 'healthier' society, even if we remove any notion of government control from however 'healthier' is defined. The actors making decisions in both cases would believe they're acting in a 'human friendly way' yet come to completely different conclusions.
Its kinda strange that HN seems to be the most effective way to give feedback to Google Cloud :/

> What stops me printing jstanley dollars and claiming there is 1:1 parity with actual dollars? Nothing! And yet that doesn't devalue actual dollars.

If most people had legitimate reason to believe that your jstanley dollars would retain 1:1 parity with US dollars, and they would be able to be used interchangeably with US dollars for most financial interactions for the foreseeable future, then you might devalue the US dollar by printing enough jstanley dollars.

That is unlikely though - there is no reason to believe any of those things about your dollars.
