> I really don't understand Apple's obsessions with thinness.

We engineers will work on the same thing over and over until we're told to work on something different. The last input the Apple mechanical, etc, engineers were given was "Make it thinner." There has been no change in direction, no new instructions, so they continue to work on the same request.
Microsoft has been pushing all the good parts of MSI into the APPX stuff which is now called MSIX. It has had support for silent installs, options, patches upgraded or added over the last couple Windows releases, with I think a last few pieces scheduled for the next Windows release.

The MSIX format is supposed to support everything MSI currently does soon, and has preview support for even Windows 7.

> However, the core problem with Windows software is there isn't a primary software repository for all approved and tested software, like there is for -nix platforms. Ideally that's what needs to be fixed first before yet more client-end installers get created.

This is certainly a goal of the Microsoft Store, to be a central/primary software repository for Windows software. Sure, it has the "ugliness" of also including all the fun monetization things that -nix can often ignore because FLOSS doesn't necessarily have to worry about paying the bills in quite the same way. But it seems silly to me to turn down the usefulness of a "primary software repository" simply because it also doubles as a retail store for proprietary/closed-source software.
At some point through the chain, you have to have a change from a digital source (the music file on your computer) to an analog signal (that is pushing audio out of your headphones). If you are changing the headphone jack standard on the headphone end (changing it to a usb-c jack, for example) would simply be pushing the DAC into the headphone. Not only would this needlessly increase costs, it'd also remove the flexibility.

I personally think that more headphones should have the threaded 3.5mm jack on which you can adapt either the 1/4" jack or say, a usb-c or lightning adapter. This would effectively make it a permanent addition to your headphones without having to keep track of a separate dongle.
Are they abusing the market ?
Rails with as little front-end js as possible. I am yet to see or experience a more efficient workflow for a custom app.

Also, competitive research and paper prototyping before coding.

Having built a bunch of these helps me ask the right questions and postpone the right features to make it possible to get to an mvp really fast.
Vain might be called wanting to have your own kids too, but I disagree
Press release: http://europa.eu/rapid/press-release_IP-19-582_en.htm. It says:

”Mastercard cooperated with the Commission by acknowledging the facts and the infringements of EU competition rules.

The Commission granted Mastercard a 10% fine reduction in return for this cooperation. Further information on this type of cooperation can be found on the Commission's Competition website”

with a link to https://europa.eu/!XC69Qb.

Basically, you get a fine reduction if you promise not to appeal to the fine.
Just took a brief look, and it all looked like whining and trolling. Am I missing something?

Your comment doesn’t seem all that relevant.
Yes, something this would be very useful for actually comparing the fonts. Google Web Fonts has something similar, you can select a bunch of fonts from the long list, that you like from first glances, and then compare only that selection with sample texts.

For this list of programming fonts, I could first select (mark) a bunch that just match my general taste (shape, weight, x-height). Then I would be able to easily switch between my selection/shortlist to inspect more detailed differences such as how numbers are aligned with respect to brackets and operators, or whatever.

Currently it's a bit hard to do if you have to keep a mental shortlist of fonts you like enough for further inspection, to remember which ones to check back on (especially if you see some names for the first time).

Regardless, it's a really cool site, great resource, and already the comparing mechanism is pretty nice!
HN as an exception? Astroturfing seems pretty common here.
This was my thought too. It amazes me that people don't see crypto currencies as the answer here, and one that solves a number of other problems at the same time.
Honestly? I love thinness and lightness. The evolution of laptops from the space equivalent of textbooks to the space equivalent of a magazine is amazing when you're constantly on the go, have other things that need to go into your shoulder bag, and don't want your shoulder/neck to hurt at the end of the day.

Thinness is amazing. If your laptop sits on your desk all day long, then of course it's irrelevant. But if you're using your laptop for its portability, taking it to multiple spots all day long (classes, conference rooms, buildings, across town), then thinness and lightness becomes an absolute top priority.

I've been using laptops for 20 years. I wouldn't go backwards ever. They've just gotten better and better.

I think most of HN is possibly just not the target market here.
Reading the source tends to be the most valuable way to assess the quality. Other factors like contribution frequency, ownership, contributing guidelines, documentation etc are important as well.

I think many people spend too little time on qualifying open-source dependencies or tools that they will use on a project. It'll do you a lot of good to dig into the source for an hour or so. If nothing else, read through the source that makes up the surface of the API that you are going to be using.
Your example sounds like you’re losing money. What am I missing?

Yes. That’s how it is used.
Tangentially related, but GitLab has developed surprisingly good (albeit still incomplete) support for org-mode and many other markup languages. So it's extremely easy to publish say a wiki built with org and they render it beautifully.

I've found this invaluable for working solo or in group projects.
In my recent experience there is not a lot of speed difference anymore between multiple manufacturers' 6TB to 12TB sized hard drives, when comparing between two competing products in the same rpm class (5400 or 7200) and areal density. Assuming similarly sized RAM cache on drive and not something like a drive with 64GB of SSD cache (hybrid drive).
In Europe, most cards are debit cards, not credit cards.

In some countries and places, credit cards are not even accepted because of the possibility of a chargeback and much higher processing fees.

In essence, many people here treat Visa / MasterCard as just "electronic cash", and therefore spend only the money they actually have.

In my own EU country, only about 1% of private bank customers own a credit card. These are usually the wealthiest people in the country, who have no problems paying the balance back on time.

The credit cards themselves provide very few benefits apart from the international health insurance for the entire family, and 0% fee for up to 45 days.

The reward programs are almost non-existent. Just like the general idea of spending the money one doesn't have.

It might sound like a very conservative society, but people here are a way more relaxed about their personal finances than in the US.

Instead of trying to earn reward points, they try to plan their expenses upfront, and focus on staying debt-free as much as they can.

That's because most Europeans have stable jobs with stable salaries which can neither grow, nor decline by a lot. Therefore, almost nobody expects to become very rich or very poor, and lives accordingly.

I did not know that having a build quality somewhat lower than a Yugo and a UX that even a Yugo designer would throw up at was part of a "best car ever made" description.
The reviews tend to be extremely accurate from what I have seen. I used to complain about the salary quotes being low or outdated, but it seems like they have improved that quite a bit.

I'm sure that there are small, paranoid companies trying to manipulate it, but who cares about the actual ratings on glassdoor? I mean if 37% of the employees 'approve of the CEO' does that even matter?

I recommend just reading the negative reviews and ignoring the ones that seem like sour grapes. From what I can tell this gives a pretty good read on what you are getting into.
I like GitLab but noticed my Docker container running it is steadily requiring more memory to run smoothly. It’s sitting at 12GB right now, which is a little too high for my taste. I wish there were ways to reduce this.
There is a noticeable bias among computer scientists to believe in simplistic models of intelligence and minds. I agree with you, though, and I also sympathize to the ideas of Searle and Penrose.
They'd push this initiative occasionally.

I wonder if anyone has any experience in flat out refusing to participate in this sort of thing. I did it once, but was already on my way out the door/in my two week notice period and HR would ask me once a day, every day for almost two weeks to write a review before I left.

I say "almost two weeks" because I finally told the HR person that I would be talking to the local workforce commission if they came to my desk one more time and asked me to write a review.
Why would they do that, It makes zero sense to assume they would do that and deliberately break their privacy policies.
I am impressed with the level of nonsense in this comment.
Company success and logo "success" are not necessarily fully related. A bad company can have a good logo, and a good company can have a bad logo. A good logo just gives your org an edge. For Google it doesn't matter anymore because they are already a top dog and everybody recognizes their logo.

I suppose they could simplify it, such as putting a lower-case "g" inside a colored circle (not an outlined circle). It's close enough to the existing logo that the change would only trigger a brand recognition problem for a short period.
I'm sorry i don't understand in what way your reply where your point is that things changed through time in any way invalidates what acqq and I wrote. Maybe we are just talking past each other and we don't see it. I also don't get it why are you hang up on the fact that the ottomans were muslim and the children were christian, it could be any other combination of religions or other ideologies and would still be very bad.
Next-level revenue model: users can pay to read removed reviews.
I haven't made any money running a business. I think I understand how to, but it'd be some time before money comes in. (As the saying goes, it takes ten years to become an overnight success).

That said, the system I've found that resonates the best with me at the moment is at https://stackingthebricks.com/ . It is very different from the typical lean startup model.
Perhaps they are interested in using a novel immersive programming environment to develop an app that runs from OS command line without GUI.

Hmm.
AWS has the Snowball program. They ship you what is essentially a network storage device with 10G ethernet, and you upload data over your local 10G network using their protocols, then ship back and they ingest into S3/Glacier.

Haven't used it personally, but did a fair amount of digging ~3 years ago. It was a potential backup solution, but we ended up shipping a 4U server full of 4TB drives to a partner for off-site backup, since they needed routine access anyways.

Check out the AWS page: https://aws.amazon.com/snowball/
Analyzing Smart Contract Public Data: An Example with AXA Fizzy
They do. By saying "there is such functionality, but you should try this instead, because using it from commandline won't tell you why this is interesting". Which isn't directly answering the question, but pointing the asker in a good direction.
I really appreciate BackBlaze opening up this data. While I don't purchase HDDs often, I always refer to these reports when deciding.

They also open sourced their server chassis which is awesome!

It's nice to see a reduction of the failure rates as a whole. It looks like the next few years will be some interesting times for the growth in storage capacities for HDDs.
I was just doing this calculation the other day, for a bit of background I am in an area of the Midwest, close to Toldeo and am graduating in May.

I interned in NYC last summer and sublet there. So I was trying to decide whether to move out that way or stay in a smaller Midwest city to start my career in.

When you factor in cost of living, rental costs, junior level developer salaries, taxes, and transportation costs. I found that I would need to make around 20k more than the average junior level developer salaries for NYC (according to the estimates I've been seeing listed on Glassdoor) to get as much take home pay after expenses as I will make staying in the Midwest for less pay.

I assume (and plan on calculating this) that you could easily generalize this to most cities in the Midwest with a minimum of 500k people.

>what keeps Google from being an adversary in your perspective?

If you visit a country where you don't speak the native language, Google maps will help navigate through the country or city. Even help with public transport. Youtube helps with DIY videos or programming talks. I wouldn't have discovered Khan academy without google.

SteamOS isn't a free and open gaming OS. It would take a tremendous amount of design effort and integration to make a seamless interface for multiple stores to intermix. Remember Valve is in this to protect its 30% cut of sales. Its why companies with their own stores that want to rent seek on game sales have shown zero interest in supporting Linux - EA, Activision, Ubisoft, etc all have their own stores they want to push. GOG took forever to adopt Linux and even still have kept it a second class citizen by not releasing Galaxy on it.

Publishers release on Steam for Windows because they have to, not because they want to. To them, their "opponent" isn't Microsoft locking down the platform in the future but Valve controlling a lions share of that rent seeking profit from game sales today.

We can rant about how they should just distribute flatpaks of their games and use that as the runtime but at this point Valve has "claimed" the Linux space where widespread hardware adoption would probably come with SteamOS where they can never ship a game from their own store.
does it have decent hidpi support yet? I remember trying out pharo 6 briefly and being unable to get it usable on my laptop.
Presumably the people that constantly bring up "BUT THE 1% HAVE MORE THAN THE 90%" should care, because it invalidates their point.

Any kind of air exchange will cause heat loss or gain, decreasing insulation. Does not matter if it's through wall or HVAC.

If there is no draft, it means there is no air circulation.

The only difference is if the draft goes through HVAC vents or through unsealed doors and windows, or through walls.

If your local heaters are effective and seal controllable, there should be really no difference in many municipal settings as the heating is waste heat from electricity generation anyway. (Those cooling towers "greens" love to hate.)

Certain baseline air flow is strictly required and it is quite a lot, especially in small volumes.

Now, if you have to burn something to heat, then by all means do install a heatpipe recovery system.

FWIW, I used to work at one of the companies mentioned. Tara was a good employee who resigned. She was not fired as Ms. Peatman claims. Its sad that Glassdoor is just another gaslighting outlet on the internet.
All review sites eventually learn who their real customers are.
My first tech job had a CEO who was just like that. He required all engineers and QAEs to be in the office before 9 and stay until after 5 so that we could answer the phone, because we were also the entire helpdesk. He would usually call the office right at 9 to see who was there, because he was usually still home.
Glassdoor is basically workplace Yelp. It started out useful for job hunting, now it's also a gamed system with pay-for-PR.

I'm really glad to hear you enjoyed it. I grew up in SF, lived here most of my adult life (I'm in my late 40s), and the state of SF hurts. San Franciscans might have a rep for being a bit snobby toward tourists, but a lot of us actually appreciate them, at least certain kinds of tourists. There are tourists who come back often and know the restaurants, clubs, theater, music venues, and history better than most locals, and I consider them a part of the city, really, an integral part of it. There aren't many truly urban places in the United States, and while SF isn't close to NY on this front, it's one of the other places where real urban-ness exists to an extent where you can find it. In that sense, I think SF belongs to everyone, not just the people who live here. And in a lot of ways, I think SF has been taken from you. Some grit is part of urban life, but the blight has gotten bad enough that I understand why a lot of people feel that they no longer enjoy the urban experience in SF. There certainly are parts of SF where this effect is much less pronounced, and many of them are gorgeous (a walk along Chrissy field, looking out at the bay, with the golden gate bridge to your left, the bay in the middle, Alcatraz and sailboats, and the city shimmering to your right, is a pretty awesome experience, the kind that stays in your mind long after you've gone back home).

But the thing is, that thing that makes SF rare, especially in the western half of the US, the urban qualities, are without question tarnished at this point. My grandmother grew up in rural Idaho in the early 20th century, and she told me that when someone said "the city", they actually meant San Francisco. Visiting a really urban place was a fascinating experience.

There's still an urban pleasure to be found here, and I'm always encouraged to hear that someone did find it on a first trip here. Hope that was the case for you.
You forgot Yelp. :-)
Right, or a review that includes positive and negative feedback is also more credible.

I think about this a lot; the inverse might be slightly true in terms of who we should be connecting to, or maybe it's about the frequency of new and diverse connections and how those introductions are done? Even before Facebook I think most people generally kept within their group of like-minded people. It has gotten worse now because we are very much divided physically by where we live, what jobs people hold, where kids go to school, etc.

I used to believe in the original Facebook mission -- connecting the world. I've worked remotely my entire life so I've had the opportunity to work with people all over the world from different cultures and backgrounds. It's given me a great perspective on humanity that I think a lot of people could benefit from, especially the ones that are in small towns (like I was) and don't venture out much beyond their borders in their life. But the internet allowed those connections to take place for me, not Facebook. We don't need Facebook to do any of these things, we just need to embrace the power of the internet.

Facebook brought together a lot of people from very different groups with very different opinions about the world and just slammed them together in an informal way, an awkward way. I have uncles that I find to be abhorrent and I had no interest in connecting to them before Facebook in any way, but Facebook thinks because we have genetic connection, that must mean we want to have a social connection, right? And they push those connections extremely hard.

I hate being "one of those people" but I deactivated my FB account early this month and it will be deleted in early February. I've definitely felt better without it, even though I know I'm missing some things. But if anything, it's encouraged me to be more proactive in reaching out to the people I actually want to keep up-to-date with, either via text message or real life meetings. It has also pushed me to blog more, and I appreciate that it's on a site I control and own, not for Facebook to manipulate and de-prioritize.
This is only true if an increase in the housing supply does not lead to an increase in the population. At a national level, this is probably true enough to assume. But, at the level of individual cities, it is not nessaserrily true. I can easily imagine scenarios where an increase in housing causes an increase in the local population greater than the increase in housing capacity.
There are several mods that address this issue (last but not least LAL).
