Why wait?

Because I don't want Linux. MacOS largely still just works and Linux is moving away from its strengths as quickly as possible. I don't want systemd. I don't want pulse audio. I don't want Wayland. Linux's strength, for me, has been that it's unixy. If I'm moving to a non-unixy setup, like Linux is becoming, I want it to be as polished and well supported as possible. Linux, simply put, is none of those.

And, quite frankly, I don't want a Thinkpad (and I can't stand that eraser tip pointing thing). I bought a 2015 rMBP late last year and cross shopped offerings from Dell, Lenovo, and one of those Linux laptop companies whose name is escaping me right now. The Mac won out and didn't command a premium over comparably specced alternatives.

I'll spare the ranting about the Gnome 3, new GIMP UI and systemd in general (but these are both major issues for me and symptomatic of a culture I don't want to buy into). I recently tried to set up a Pi Zero with an Audioquest DragonFly DAC. The DAC just works in FreeBSD and MacOS with no hassle. I was able to tweak ALSA to get sound out of it, but shairport-sync can't set the volume (which works just fine on FreeBSD). WiFi was a struggle as well. I forgot what an archaic mess of procfs tunables and bizarre config files Linux on the desktop can be, and I don't want to spend my days debugging my desktop system.

One of my coworkers at megacorp got the officially sanctioned Linux laptop (some Dell thing). Like a good end user he installed updates as they became available. Turns out megacorp bought the Windows version of the laptop and installed Linux on it. Well, my coworker installed some firmware updates that promptly re-enabled secure boot borking his system. He lost a day trying to figure out what happened (Dell wouldn't support Linux on it and corporate IT was entirely indifferent). I don't want to dodge a minefield masquerading as a support matrix.

It seems like it's been the year of the Linux on the desktop for most of my adult life.

Edit: Downvotes don't win over users.
How would it do that besides building in a container?
He failed to consider that people on hacker news would tut disapprovingly at his hack.
I'd read the 'by default' as it being turned on system-wide and up to the user to override on a per case basis. Of course Apple's ideal model is that they want everything going through them. They're going to enable it 'by default' and if customers don't scream too much, they'll likely make it mandatory a release or two later.
Easy to read Unix manpage site
As far as I understand it, this already is on by default for ChromeOS. The kernel patches make it possible to utilize internal USB devices during the boot process without disabling protection - ie there's no vulnerability window prior to user space being up and running.

I believe the major missing piece for desktop Linux at this point is that many input devices (including my own) are USB based. Without a way for the device to cryptographically attest its identity, you either have to accept vulnerability from wired external devices during boot or do without input until user space has been started.

Edit: My mistake. It appears that it was opt-in as of January, will become on-by-default at some point in the future, and only blocks devices during boot and while the screen is locked. It appears to trust all devices plugged into it once you've logged in. (https://www.forbes.com/sites/leemathews/2019/01/07/google-sh...)
So is this basically App Engine Flexible Environment with a quirk that it pauses (freezes for later thawing) your container (like GCF or AWS lambda) when not handling a request?

Would be good to see more info like concurrency limits (80 mentioned in the quota is super low...) and cold start times. Things that affect how useful or not useful this is for handling large bursts.
I’m honestly way more interested in Jai.
"Currently, if a user tries to run your software it simply won't run, and the user has to know to go into system settings and manually give it permission."

No, you don't need to go into system settings. Just right-click on the app and select "Open" from the context menu. This brings up an are-you-sure dialog that gives you the option to go ahead and run the app. If you choose to run it, Gatekeeper marks it as trusted and won't bother you about it next time.
Have any data scientists here who were primarily working in R or Python, learned J? What did you think?

I love programming languages that teach you new ways of thinking about programming and I'm very curious about the APL family--thinking of learning J or q/kdb+.

I do most of my work in query languages on column-store databases, then some visualization and hypothesis testing on top. So I'm wondering if I could find J more expressive than R/Python + some SQL-like language.
And by that I mean that Australia favours enriching corporate coffers over collection revenue from its natural resources so as to benefit the whole nation with a long term view.
Source? I am not aware of any legislation requiring specifically an HMO option, at least in the states I do business in.
Those states also pay more to the federal government than they get back.
Not interested in serverless platforms that are only invocable by HTTP requests. That's very limiting.
Barking up the wrong tree, as they say.

These compounds were already investigated by Ames labs few years back, ho hum results.

There should be an all out "Manhattan project" on the Iron Nitride chemistry, it has over twice the energy product as Neo and it has many more times the intrinsic coercivity (resistance to demagnetization). This would bring about the next big revolution in magnet science and also deprive the Chinese of a strategic annoyance they have over the world in rare earths. At this moment I would say the Japanese lead the efforts to reduce rare earth dependence and have the most advanced magnetic chemistry research.

Maybe so, but please don't post unsubstantive comments to HN. If you have something thoughtful to say about such conflicts, or experience of your own to share, that's great. Alternatively, it's fine to not post anything. But please don't do the shallow internet thing here.
“Don’t ever” is a statement that depends on your threat model.

Can you get any information about the party who stole your credentials? What were the domains and urls? What is the domain whois (probably private), their IP's? Where are they hosting? This information might help you make a case of fraudent abuse of your GCP account.
It does matter, because "winning" at IG means you have an audience. Audiences can and will be monetized. I don't think this is that hard to see.

The reason so many people go so hard on the Instagram game isn't just to make themselves feel good or validated, it's because when you have 400,000 people watching your stories every day a lot of people will pay you to wear their gear while you do it.

I think that is a strange argument to make for preferring macs over Linux. Many of the things you mentioned are inspired by osx counterparts (for example, launchd was the main inspiration for systemd)
The US is unusual in having separate jails and prisons - in most countries they’re the same thing - so people may not know the difference.

It sounds like they had a computer specifically configured for analysis of drives. I'm going to guess that's not just Agent Smith's normal computer he/she uses to write reports, email, etc. In which case, taking out the drive was an unnecessary reflex as the malware wouldn't get much traction on a system isolated from others and not used for much else. But I could also be wrong, I'm just speculating. Which is my point-- that's all the article was doing too, speculating.
As another student at another upper-class high school, my experience was different. 99% of people do have iphones, but no one flaunts it as a status symbol, nor do people seem to care what generation of iphone you have. Airpods are more interesting because not that many people have them; they themselves don't grant you any status, but having airpods is an _indicator_ of status.
Seat belts and airbags don't save you in all cases, but we use them.
When I look at what my federal taxes have been funding over the past two decades, it sure doesn’t look like I’m improving global security.

How much better off would the world be if the US military had been too poorly funded to invade Iraq?
That price has little to do with malpractice premiums. You're paying for the fact that the ER was there, fully staffed, ready to treat literally anything that you could have walked in with at a moment's notice. That and you're subsidizing people who don't pay.
...and where all software is delivered through them, so they get a cut of any sales. I don't begrudge Apple the ability to make money. I do begrudge them for how they completely monopolize it, and try to present the security argument as if it's a binary choice, and not a spectrum along which there might be a solution different than we have currently which most people might consider better.

And seeing that all music sold by Apple has been DRM free for a decade, are you thinking they are not only going to reenable DRM, they are going to make it more restrictive in 2020 than it was in 2003?
Empirical limits in science
The entire aviation business and safety structure is build on extraordinary rigidity to processes and approaches. In addition, automation is viewed as a threat to multiple worker groups.

Sometimes this is justified -certainly the MCAS incident is a example. Changes like the MCAS should never have been allowed to change a fundamental part of the airplane interface without considerably more processes being met. That said, sometimes opposition to enhancements is trade unionists being trade unionists.
I'm very curious your thoughts about the NTE clause of employment stating you can only work there a maximum of four years. And you are initially hired for a set two year term.
Assuming the script is hosted on an https site, is a popular tool (like brew or rustup) from a trusted source, why would this be any more dangerous than downloading and installing from a a package manager?

What would it take beyond https and a well-known site to make you comfortable doing this?
Likely some cascading logic to suspend to nvdimms, then local storage, then spin down entirely if no requests are made for a certain period (with some variable based on instantiation time I'm sure). Mix in machine learning pre-emptive loading for observed request patterns and it's pretty manageable.

In order to be able to do that, and to save costly resources (memory and CPU) you need the workload to be interruptible vs flexible environnent which is persistant. In a sense this is closer to lambda but supporting native containers if I read into it correctly.
I'd take a $250 SE over a $400 android, definitely, but not over a new samsung galaxy.

The difference is that your taxes go up as you earn more, but your health insurance premiums don’t. Lower middle class workers are getting screwed, but the top earners are doing great! It’s a feature, not a bug.
I've been to the ER half a dozen times with my son (reactive airway issues every time he gets a cold). It's totally something we could manage at home, but it took forever to convince our GP to prescribe the necessary meds (she was more comfortable with us going to the ER, despite the cost (both financially and the added stress of packing up a 1 year old to go to the ER)).
You are right on spot! Couldn't have explained better myself.
You can have partially enabled SIP. With CSR = 0x01, SIP is fully enabled except kext signing, more secure then disabled SIP.
You don't need an ER for any of those things. We already solved this problem with Urgent Care.
Based off this definition of merit, any system would be meritocratic. A politician winning elections by purchasing votes wouldn't be considered to be merit based.

In poker, reading tells is an accepted part of the game and within the rules. It's my understanding that most of the tactics reported in the article are against Instagram's rules.
The German government doesn't negotiate anything. They set prices, period. Set them too low and you create shortages. Guess what the German healthcare system has, it's a shortage of doctors, especially specialists. German doctors are leaving for greener pastures, like Switzerland. They are replaced by doctors from Eastern Europe. Quality suffers. Waiting times are high. Most Germans are too uninformed or arrogant to admit it (especially to Americans) but the system sucks.

That's not to say the American system is good, but I can't stand all this talk about how socialized healthcare is so great. It isn't. A lot of what people are calling "socialized" systems are actually private systems with a compulsion to purchase insurance, for example Switzerland, Netherlands, Australia. Even Germany technically has a dual system (public and private) but only the top earners are allowed to go private.
Listen-only access is non-exclusive, and works for packet correlation attacks.

The Secret Service is charged with securing any Presidential residence, so I'm sure there are statutes that let them do that.

Why would they respond with anything besides “fuck you, pay me”?

When I did ask, their response was basically a more nicely worded version of that.

How is it a strange argument? Apple did a good job developing its daemons, and did so for a brand new operating system. Pottering did an abysmal job imitating Apple and is doing a worse job at maintaining his software (e.g. Pottering refusing to open CVEs for known vulnerabilities), and has worked tirelessly to replace working solutions.

If I want non-unix, I go with MacOS. If I want unix-ish, Linux doesn't fit the bill. Much like how I chafe at the GIMP developers chasing non-existent "pro" users with unwieldy UI changes, Linux on the desktop seems to be chasing change for change's sake.
I'm curious how much is the longer product lifespan of iPhones resulting in parents passing their children hand me down iPhones when they upgrade. Androids don't seem to age as well (as an android user) so they're harder to convince a teen to accept one instead of purchasing something entirely new. Unfortunately the poll data here is very scant.

Cancer 'vaccine' shows promise in human trial of lymphoma patients
ZOMG I had never heard of any of these events of the last several years! The news media has failed me by only hyping this kind of thing 23 hours a day! What good fortune that I've had this opportunity to learn from you! Now I will support all of our meaningless unnecessary wars, starting with Venezuela where I'm assured that there really is an actual "humanitarian crisis"!

Actually this wasn't a geopolitical point. It is simply a fact that Russian food, music, and other cultural indicators are less common on TV than American culture is. So, it makes for more interesting TV. That's all "exotic" meant.

There's no interaction with Gatekeeper there. An executable you've built yourself will just run normally (assuming it has the x attribute of course).

OK, quick lesson in how Gatekeeper works:

When you download a Mac app from the web, or save it from an email, a bit of metadata called the "quarantine attribute" is attached to it. When you try to run an app with the QA, Gatekeeper checks whether it's allowed to run; by default this will be allowed if it's signed. If it doesn't pass GK, you can still run it anyway by right-clicking on it and choosing "Open". When the app runs, regardless of whether GK passed it or you overrode GK, the QA is removed. After that GK no longer cares about it, and the app will just run normally without further fuss.

Safari and Apple Mail automatically add the QA to anything they download, and most 3rd party browsers and email clients now do the same. But if you download an app using most command line tools (curl, wget, ftp, scp, etc), or if you build it yourself from source, then the QA never gets attached to it in the first place, so GK doesn't care about it and the app just runs normally.

As far as I can tell the new notarization system doesn't change any of this, it just adds another form of code signing.
That's different. Car crashes are unpreventable, unexpected events that we can prepare for. Plugging random USB stick into your computer is preventable, and adding these safety features may cause people to think it is safe to plug in random USB sticks into their computer.
It's 2019. For a first world country even the BASIC package, within an actual city, should fulfill the "minimum broadband" definition of 25Mbit/sec down and 3-5Mbit/sec up; even during peek hours.

If it isn't being selected, then clearly there's insufficient competition to drive better prices and better packages.
Here are a few IMO:
- Less or no unremovable apps introduced by carrier/phone manufacturer
- UI parallel to current Android stock trend rather than manufacturer's vision

As with everything, there will be winners and losers. If predictions hold, the northern hemisphere is going to be the big winner as the northern hemisphere ( primarily siberia, alaska and much of canada ) hold significant amount of inaccessible land that will become available. But just as importantly ( or even more importantly ), if the arctic passage along siberia and the northwest passage opens up, it will be an immense boon to the world economy and trade as it will shorten shipping by 30% or even more. And of course the resources ( oil, minerals, etc ) locked in the arctic will become accessible.

Don't believe the propaganda or hype online about the world ending. There will be disruption but there will also be opportunity. The media loves to hype "end of world" nonsense for clicks. In my relatively short period of time, I've lived through so many "end of world" media hypes that it is hard to take them seriously anymore.

Countries, banks, businesses, etc aren't planning for the end, they are fighting over new opportunities in the coming decades.

I remember hearing about the US Airways flight that had an emergency landing in the Hudson river (the film 'Sully' is based on this). The plane sunk faster than it should have because the checklist item 'close the vents' was too far down to be completed before the water landing. In response, the checklist was edited and the item was moved further to the top.

Apologies for not finding an exact link, but here is the wikipedia article for the flight:
