The 9370 is an even more fun can of worms - resuming from suspend will almost always work (I remember the 9350 having massive problems with this, it's not just you - I ended up selling that rig to a friend), but there's a decent chance I'll kernel panic upon plugging in my Type-C dock after said resume.

The Killer Wi-Fi card has none of the connectivity problems I read about almost everywhere for this model.... but has all the throughput problems, running at about 15% of the throughput/bandwidth of my Chromebook (an Intel AC card) sitting right next to it as of the last time I tested.

I'd definitely not call Linux consistent, but it's better than it was when I started using it back in 2006-2007ish, and I wouldn't trade it for any other setup (and it's not for a lack of trying: my primary work machine for 2.5ish of the last 6 years was a Macbook Pro of some sort for one reason or another)

"you seem to want to move to a genderless language"

Not really, I don't think language is that important, I think in the few cases I presented it just hurts the cause (because it makes it seem that it is about power for some other group rather than equality). But I am not particularly against e.g. gendered pronouns. But maybe...

"there is really no precedent for that kind of postmodern language existing alongside successful emancipatory politics"

I disagree. I think there are examples of emancipation where the language that was previously used day-to-day (for example, to refer to somebody with the n-word) fell into disuse. In fact, I think it's natural to happen if the emancipation is successful (because people will simply stop caring about the divide).

So maybe there will eventually be no gender pronouns.

I can't really take fiction as an argument, but I am reminded of Greg Egan's novel Schild's Ladder, which has humans in far far future, having no actual gender and even opt-in bodies, and ironically, the last thing that reminds people there ever was such a thing as gender, are gendered pronouns (which are entirely a matter of personal choice).

We launched A1 instances with our Arm-Based AWS Graviton Processors to increase the selection of technology for our customers.

Godot is getting pretty close but I agree with Unity and Unreal being quite a bit ahead at this time.
I'm not even talking about research publication. I'm talking about today's mainstream press. The algorithm there is simple: issue a bombastic, click grabbing "story", let people generate traffic (and ad revenue) for a few days. Then either change the article, or delete it, or issue a milquetoast "retraction".

A team I ran at one of my past jobs was interviewed by NYTimes once. What was published was extremely editorialized to drive clicks, and as a result bore little resemblance to what people actually said. We didn't even bother asking for a retraction, but after that incident I've been extremely distrustful of basically everything I read in the media, no matter the source, unless I see direct, unedited evidence. And even then I'm distrustful if evidence appears to be taken out of context, which it is at least 90% of the time. I just wish the "journalists" would stop killing their own profession, and start behaving like adults. The only prominent voice I trust these days is Glenn Greenwald.
> Inequality has risen, but that does not mean that things are getting worse for those at the bottom ends of the wealth distribution.

Wages are flat while Cost of Living and/or inflation is skyrocketing (Real world inflation, not the CPI index).

This, generally, is the strongest evidence that the bottom end of the wealth distribution is getting worse.

> By most metrics (ignoring housing and healthcare)

Wait, you can't just ignore housing and healthcare, that's like the biggest chunk of every American's budget.

The four things America has regressed on the most (in quality and/or cost), is housing, healthcare, education/child-care, and transportation. Those four things combined are roughly 75-99% of a typical American families spending.

Yeah, you can still buy a cheap hamburgers and cheap gas and cheap flat screen TVs. That's useful. But that's not useful enough to counteract all the losses elsewhere.

> both of which are primarily causes by an undersupply of housing and a growing cohort of old people, rather then inequality

That's a popular misconception. Housing problems are primarily caused by private equity and deregulation -- undersupply is a tiny portion of the problem in a few key metros (especially SF), but is not the widespread cause of it. In Michigan, for example, we have a rampant urban housing crisis too -- and zero percent of that is caused by any undersupply of housing.

Similarly, Healthcare costs rising is largely because of private equity and price fixing / fraud between health insurers and hospitals. "People growing old" is only a tiny portion of that problem, as evidenced by the many other nations who also have large aging populations putting strains on their healthcare systems, but not having the same astronomically high healthcare costs.

> Objective metrics like infant mortality, access to infrastructure like electricity and plumbing, educational attainment, all indicate positive trends

Suicide is rising sharply. Opiate abuse is rising, and so are the deaths from it. Access to infrastructure is falling (see Flint Water Crisis, or deferred infrastructure maintenance in NYC, or the routine underinvestment in roads and schools). The US personal savings rate is declining rapidly -- people who have "good incomes" (by your metrics) don't have any money left over to save, and so are on-paper good but actually financially insecure.

I think seeing the problem is a "perception-only" issue is Ivory Tower thinking. People don't just "feel" that things have gotten worse, things have objectively gotten worse, and pretending otherwise will only make the situation harder to fix.
I carefully worded it so I would not get downvoted to hell. But some people will know what I’m talking about.
"positive discrimination" is not racism, sorry.

unfortunately, the only way to change the future is to enable the groups that were historically disenfranchised, which we can enable through diversity quotas/affirmative action/etc. it doesn't just magically happen through everyone agreeing that "racism is over."

i know that you feel uncomfortable because you do not feel that you were responsible with the current situation, but you continue the status quo (racist society) by not structurally enabling disenfranchised groups.

we are no danger of positive discrimination causing structural problems for white people (especially men), besides them feeling (apparently) very uncomfortable with confronting systematic racism and white privilege.

thankfully companies are increasingly seeing this and i'm hesitantly positive towards the future (assuming we continue to hold companies accountable).

> you got married, now you're stressed. Yet you think you're happily married

Well, yes. Lots of other things happened too - this has been at least a decade of gradual creeping anxiety. But being married has definitely tweaked my "I'm responsible" baggage.

> Being afraid that a failed marriage would screw up your life

Been there, done that - this is my second marriage. While I in no way want to undersell how bad getting divorced is - even when it's an amicable divorce like mine was - I'm in complete agreement that an unhappy marriage isn't worth it.

In this case though, I'm not afraid of losing the marriage - I'm just afraid of failing at my responsibilities, and I'm not even sure if they're marriage related responsibilities, or just adulting. We've been together 12 years now, and she's awesome, including not putting responsibility or demands on me. We could live in a box behind a restaurant and I'm confident she'd love me and not be blaming me.

Things have gotten worse for me as I've aged, but I can't say for certain the cause. Saving for retirement, health care, paying the mortgage, these are all things I associate with my marriage (and thus I mentioned it), but that may have been misleading. This could be being an adult, this could be my own success (I'm making almost 10x what I did 20 years ago, unadjusted) giving me more to lose, this could be my lack of friends as I outage many of my coworkers and the others focus on their families, this could be deteriorating health making me feel more vulnerable (I'm also 60 pounds heavier than 20 years ago), this could be the looming dementia on my father's side, this could be...

...a really unhealthy list of things to focus on. :) . Regardless, I appreciate the intent of your post, I can see how I made it seem like my marriage was responsible, but I don't see the line of causality. If it's that I AM in a happy marriage, but I'm afraid of losing the ability to enjoy that part of my life, but then the cause isn't an unhappy marriage.
I can't find the link now, but I saw in a Facebook group, a European chap who bought a ton of standard LEGO parts online to fashion his own LEGO LUT. He actually itemised the parts he used, and I think it was well over $500 worth of LEGO. An expensive way to 'custom' do it, but for those dedicated enough... I will post the link here if I ever do find it.

Consider a traditional MMORPG architecture, using a third party engine rather than an in-house engine. The engine ran on the player's computer, and the game company bought one engine license per copy of the game sold.

If one were to build an MMORPG with SpatialOS instead of following the tradition approach, how does that change the number of copies of the game engine you need to license?

It sounds like the engine runs in the cloud, so do they only need one copy per person who is actually online at the time, or even only one per currently occupied region of the game world, or is it still one per copy of the game sold?

I got to share several laughs about how "it's the year of the Linux desktop, yeah?"

The amount of time that joke's been around should be taken as a sign of a persistent condition.

unless my kernel does Strange Things and panics, I basically plug and play into whatever I want

The kernel doing strange things and panicking doing plug and play was never a thing on OS X when I started using it. Seems to me it's not been a thing for Windows since before Windows 7.

It's long been speculated that one problem with Linux is cultural. Are Linux desktops trapped by cultural expectations?

There are quite a few videos on YouTube where the owner (I assume, via an alert that the motion sensor is triggered) starts speaking though the device remotely "put that down" or "get out of here" and the would-be thieves usually drop the package and hurry off.

EDIT: I should add that a video circulated recently in my neighborhood showing someone stealing the camera. So there's that risk. I'm sure the thieves will be disappointed when they find out about the monthly fee.

Regardless of all the koolaid peddled these days by all the dev blogs, the fact is that at the end of the day to make a website you can still use the same backend that you used in 2005 (aka lamp) and it still works flawlessly for most of the sites (or any site getting less than 1M hits a month which is quite common).

It's not about the language, C# is generally fine if you know how to work the GC (which admittedly many people don't). The kind of C++ that is used for game code in UE4 isn't exactly "zero-overhead" either and it also uses garbage collection. Plus, on mobile C# in Unity is translated to C++ anyway. My guess is that the difference is negligible in most cases.

What really makes the difference is that Unity has light-weight rendering pipelines available, running on older GPUs. UE4 just ditches those devices.
Can someone who is not at work describe the contents of this link for those who are?
By most metrics? Are you kidding? People are making way less now than fifty or sixty years ago and basic necessities cost way more (adjusted for inflation). They have no hope for a raise or promotion even at high paying white collar jobs like software development. Childcare costs more a month than most bring home before taxes. Many people still cannot afford or do not have access to proper healthcare. And finding an affordable place to live is impossible in some areas, extremely hard almost everywhere that's desirable to live. And of course, poverty is relative so seeing the rich get healthcare while you and your own family get sick and die has a huge effect on people that probably isn't captured by any metric I know of. Being able to afford a big flat screen television is in no way indicative of a better quality of life when that is in lieu of basic necessities like proper nutrition, healthcare, and shelter.

Ask HN: Any 'Startup in a box' bundles/guidance for software startups?
Getting a software startup off the ground, and curious about any bundles, with or without guidance, that help in getting all the basic things setup to manage the process. I just submitted a separate question about project management options (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=18878602), but it seems that most software startups would have similar enough needs that maybe there is a good starting point to get the basics going quickly.
Thanks, I didn't know that. Presumably the same for Android. I've never tried to play chess with my phone.
Does anyone know what language(s) will be used for app development? My understanding from reading the documentation is that it will be GTK+ for the UI and there are 2 examples of C/GTK+ apps. Since this is a debian linux distro and applications will be distributed via a debian repo, could you theoretically write it in any language ex: python, java, c++ and use GTK+ or QT?

>I wish they'd just drop the idea of external monitor support.

One of the biggest selling points for me is the external monitor support. Of course this phone isn't going to have features like carplay/android auto (and coming from carplay, I would be very sad to lose this functionality) but since this phone has a way to connect an external display, I plan on doing something to plug my phone into my car's head unit (via hdmi) and have it display GPS maps and possibly media player (through kodi).

Looking forward to having the freedom to do whatever I want (hopefully) with this phone!!

Look, we can mostly all understand what real government issued money is

Not really, the vast majority of people have no real idea of how it works, beyond the simple cash transfer. In fact, the term "government issued money" is evidence of that - almost all money is created by commercial banks, not government.

We know money in the same way that people in ancient times knew the Sun - its workings are just regular enough that we can predict its effects on our lives tomorrow, without having to actually understand nuclear fusion or radiation.

You might be right, but given that they didn't set out to do this, that they want their children and grandchildren to grow up and lead happy, successful lives, and that they weren't just some generational error where everyone was a selfish bastard but were mostly well-meaning people, how does this attribution help? It doesn't appear that we're learning from their mistakes with our current political climate or policies.
probably depends. 2 or 3 is better than 1 in that case. Although where I live now we have gipsy gangs roaming the hoods and kidnap your dogs - then make you pay a ransome to get them back. If you don't pay you get an ear or the tail (or worse) on your porch.

I'm not an ubuntu user (debian testing here). I remember that various systemd-thingies were actually tweaking some network settings behind NetworkManager's back.

Getting NetworkManager to work properly was a matter of disabling all that systemd stuff and then setting it up using config files and nmcli (the gnome GUI just broke everything too easily).

My impression after all that was that NetworkManager is a very capable piece of software littered with bad interfaces and impenetrable documentation. You will emerge victorious if you fight those hard enough. In contrast, trying to setup the system using the various systemd-thingies got me to "xxx is planned but not working now" every time.

Btw, I do have a weird complicated network configuration because I'm switching between ethernet and wifi, and have multiple bridged and/or routed vms/containers (with all of kvm, lxc, and virtualbox).
I think that "Believe extremely skeptical of anything you are forwarded--especially if it is virally interesting" is probably closer to actionable.

MacOS 10.14 Mojave vs. Ubuntu 18.04 LTS vs. Clear Linux Benchmarks
The vast majority of workers in America (78%) are living paycheck-to-paycheck[1].

Cost of living is rising, and so are health care costs. Inflation ensures that a dollar is worth less every year.

While inflation inevitably marches on, wages have neither kept up with productivity for over 40 years[2], nor cost of living, nor inflation.

People are working multiple jobs, but their employers purposely schedule them such that they don't accrue enough hours to be considered full-time employees who are legally entitled to buy health insurance through their employer.

As an aside, while engineer pay is relatively high, it has not kept up with rising cost of living expenses over the last decade, either.
