Ask HN: Does Apple Repair Butterfly Keyboards for Free?
Asking because my warranty expired 2 years ago, but over the last couple of months, I have had several buttons give up on me. And it's getting to the point where I feel like the keyboard is becoming unusable.

Has anyone got experience with repairing their butterfly keyboard out of warranty? Did you have to pay for a replacement?

Apple Live Chat was very defensive about this and didn't want to give me a clear answer.
Just because it's true doesn't mean it isn't misleading. Consider if they had the same title but only analyzed projects with a single contributor or pet projects.

By only including open source projects they've limited the ability to generalize their conclusions, which they themselves allude to in their "threats to validity" section. Changing the title simply better reflects the content of the article, which the researchers didn't do (sometimes this is due to external pressures such as university PR departments, but I doubt is the case here)

Than single use paper cups yes, the energy required is much higher. Unfortunately they're not comparing against reusable cups.

A reusable glasscup breaks even in terms of energy vs a styrofoam at ~50 re uses. That doesn't price in the lifetime cost of disposing of the styrofoam, and glass is pretty much inert.

You are talking about developers. I am talking about regular non-IT people. IT people know that they can just SSH into a Linux server or that they can run Linux in a VM or a container. Regular people don't know these things.

If these things are good enough out of the box for you, that's fine. But it also shows that you and me have different mindsets about what we expect from our digital work environments. If you spend a lot of time in front of computers, it is worthwhile to adapt the systems to your needs.
There's nothing surprising here.

The custard will present a certain impedance (resistance and reactance, normally represented as a complex number) at a frequency. A radio transceiver normally expects 50ohms (real) at the antenna port for maximum energy transfer (and smallest standing wave voltage ratio). Using a network of capacitors and inductors (the tuner) the custard's impedance can be transformed to 50 ohms. But it's still not an efficient antenna, in the sense that it won't radiate more.

What other-worldly solution do you think the bottling companies are using?
In a decarbonized economy, burning no fossil fuels, why should PV emit any CO2?

Nuclear, on the other hand, is going to still have lots of concrete, and making concrete emits CO2 even if the energy to calcine the limestone comes from non-fossil sources.

Yes, one could capture and sequester the CO2 from concrete manufacture. But then one could also capture and sequester putative CO2 from PV manufacture. So if sequestration is on the table, the CO2 argument being made against PV in favor of nuclear just collapses anyway.

Imports?

Amartya Sen's work on the huge historical famines argues that they were essentially economic phenomena where there was enough food but not enough money to buy the food. In both the Bengal and Irish famines there were even food exports happening during the crisis.
I haven't seen anyone mention that Docker Hub's automatic build integration requires either "Owner"-level permissions on your organization or "Admin"-level permissions on the individual repository. Based on the GitHub-side audit log, Docker Hub seems to be using this access to add deploy keys to your repository, but this isn't mentioned in the documentation (which is why we had to go spelunking in the audit log), and if you try to take a least-privilege approach and grant only the read-only access that Docker Hub should require, your GitHub repository will simply not appear in the list of available repositories when you try to configure an automatic build.

Lots of people may have exposed credentials to Docker Hub that can do much more than disclose proprietary source code.

Is this supposed to be some kind of joke? I can think of many reasons why the rainforest is cut down but lack of space for PV isn't one of them. Just think about it. Cutting down trees costs a lot of money in terms of acres. You need expensive machinery, trained workers and a lot of time. In other words people who cut down the rainforest do it with the intention to make a profit selling the wood they cut down. People who "care" about the land itself first burn down the trees because it is faster/cheaper and second because the ash acts as fertilizer in the short term. The rain forest is also rich in a fertile soil called humus which again acts as a fertilizer. But this layer of humus is quickly depleted because it is no longer protected by trees and simply gets washed away. The end result is infertile land and the farmers have to burn down the rainforest again. It's not like this is unexpected. The similar things happen on regular farms which is why we use artificial fertilizer, so in other words: people destroy the rainforest because they want to make a quick buck. If they really cared about the land they wouldn't abandon it as soon as it becomes unprofitable.

If you're a junior one of the first things to learn in office is to talk, professionally and a whole lot more than you were used to in previous lives. You are pretty much free to vent each and every of these thoughts to the person concerning as long as it's with respect and an attitude of learning. If you don't understand the social dynamics going on - ask. If you think you can do something better than your boss or peers, offer it as a positive suggestion ("I think I'm pretty strong in X, shall I give a first try at this problem?"). Most of OPs thoughts are interpretations. They need to get out of that sphere and into the open.

As a Mac user since 2000 and through the initial pains of the OS X transition, this is on the mark.

Many old Mac users were very unhappy about the upgrade from Classic to OS X. "File extensions? Non-spatial Finder? A command line? What is this bullshit, and why does it run so slowly on my top of the line 400 MHz Power Mac G4..."

But eventually they adapted. At present, Apple is "boiling the frog" on turning Mac into something closer to an iPad Pro with a keyboard (Marzipan brings iOS UI style to desktop; mandatory app notarization prevents running non-approved software; etc.) Despite the grumbles, Mac users will acquiesce here as well and just get on with their work.
something I can think of is that at first the if-branch did do something, then later it got commented out. And later again someone deleted the commented-out code instead of rewriting it.

That'd be something pretty silly to do. But sadly I've seen enough bad code that this would not surprise me.
> How on earth is there still no terminal emulator like iTerm2 on linux????!

Genuinely curious: What does iTerm2 do better than any other terminal emulator on Linux?
I have put off an idea because it’s not technologically feasible yet. However, that’s given me years of tinkering with the same idea in my mind, therapeutic to some extent.
> I don't understand what's wrong with paper cups? They are biodegradable.

Firstly, they require quite a lot of water and energy to produce and bleach, especially compared to a styrofoam cup.

Secondly, they are still wasteful. Using a glass cup costs less after about 20 uses.

Thirdly, biodegradable is being flung around as a solution, but it only is if you actually dispose of the waste correctly. if it goes to landfill, chances are it won't biodegrade in any reasonable timeframe. Also, biodegradable materials degrade usually into CO2, which is what we're trying to prevent from escaping in the first case.
There are polyfills in JS available, if you really want to target IE10 and lower.
I’ve found that using precise language and trying to understand actions and motivations instead of assuming, usually incorrectly, what people are thinking helps me to identify common ground and be productive.

I think you’re right in that people usually intend “thinks X” to mean “behaves as if they think X.” But what I typically try to do is to share behaviors that make it harder to interact and to work on that. It’s pretty rare that I care that someone “thinks they know everything,” but more common that “they did not spend time listening to my idea and made a judgement without all the info I could share.”

The latter helps me try to create situations where I can share info to inform their decision. Yadda yadda yadda.

Output text table to MySQL results style, reStructuredText table style and so on
The Online Encyclopedia of Integer Sequences has a search facility, so that if you have a mysterious sequence of integers you can put it in any see whether it's one of the sequences in the OEIS (or do fancier things -- see whether it's a subsequence of one of those sequences, enter just one large number from the sequence to see whether other seqs containing that number are enlightening, etc.).

The obvious counterpart for this (I think) would be to have a set of "standard" triangles, including a couple with random vertex positions that hopefully satisfy no "interesting" mathematical relationships, and report (say) 12 decimal places of the coordinates of each centre for each of those triangles. Then, if you run across some mysterious point in a triangle, you can look for its coordinates and see whether they match any of the centres.

(This would also give a way of verifying that no two of the thousands of triangle centres catalogued here are coincidentally equivalent to one another.)
It will be much more expensive than renewables, so saying it has a "renewable-like cost structure" is not accurate.

Given complexity and high material stresses, fusion reactors will also likely have very high operating costs. DT reactors, in particular, will require replacement of major structural elements every few years due to neutron damage.
Do you really think they don't know how to do one of the most basic logical operations in all of computing?

It could be a convention to maintain semantic consistency in the predicate so you don't have to randomly flip your brain each time you encounter a new conditional statement.

That's what we have at our workplace too; the main thing though (from an employer's point of view) is that ceramic cups will take a bit more employee time, either for dedicated staff to handle dishes and rebalancing cups in the kitchens, or for the consumers who have to make sure they put their cups in the dishwashers.

I don't think the environmental impact is that big if they use paper / cardboard cups instead. Those are properly reusable at least.
Wow, lots to unpack here. First off, MAs are not remotely comparable to PAs or physicians. MAs typically earn a certificate, and salary is 20-30k. They are typically office or clerical workers with a medical support role. They are not diagnosticians or prescribers, like physicians, PAs, or NPs are. So talk of MAs 'practicing medicine' is weird, they don't, that's not the job role. We need them, they aren't well paid... nice work punching down there mate.

Frankly, this comment just sounds like you have an axe to grind with PAs. (Hence conflating MAs with PAs.)

PA is a Master's degree. They diagnose, treat, and prescribe. Unlike MDs, who are board-certified independent practitioners, PAs are not trained to work independently but as part of a team. In some cases that means they function as physician extenders, freeing up physicians to focus on more complicated cases. In other areas they focus on tasks delegated to them, for example central lines or other procedures, wound care. Some are used as First Assists in surgery, others are used for pre and postsurgical care, which helps surgeons do more surgeries. In any case, while the roles for physicians and PAs are much more similar, the condescension remains in your comment.

Punching down on MAs is inconceivably poor form. Punching down on PAs is still bad. Conflating the two gives away your game. You suggest harm... have any evidence to back this up?

Hint: you won't find any. There aren't a ton of studies, and quality could be better, but mid-levels (NPs and PAs) who stay within their roles have comparable outcomes to physician colleagues. How can this be, given the difference in training time? Easy. The roles are different. The subset of pts managed by PAs/NPs is different than MDs, because professionals consult and transfer care when appropriate. It's no different than a family practitioner or hospitalist consulting specialists. Nobody does everything, healthcare is a team effort.

Trash talking other professions, especially without evidence, is unprofessional.
>> I’ve learned a lot about how to scale a real service in the couple of weeks I’ve been here.

I take this to mean that the new server implementation in Python was written in at most two weeks by a developer who was an intern at the time. I don't think I'd be easily convinced that best results could be obtained this way.

The original Erlang implementation could be flawed and buggy, but wouldn't a much better result be achieved by fixing its problems, rather than rewriting it from scratch to another language, that is not known for its efficiency or for being very good for networking, unlike Erlang?

In any case- is there ever a case where an intern can write the best possible system in two weeks? And why would you hand off a critical part of your system to the most junior member of the team? I mean, unless your team are all elite hackers from the higher echelons of computer science masters and the "most junior member" is one of the best programmers in the world, or so?
What an amazing writeup.

From personal experience, Root-Me is easily one of the best way to get into infosec for someone with no prior knowledge of infosec or even information technologies in general.
Great advice, so I am not going to repeat this because I 100% agree with it.

However additionally I would add that if you think that it is the software alone that will make or break the company, then it is obvious that this is your first time doing this and that you have never brought a product to market. There are a ton of examples where one product that was of less quality absolutely annihilated another excellent product where the difference was the rest of the "business" machinery (marketing, sales, support, operations, etc).

It is an unpopular opinion in HNs, but good software is not enough to win.
The Problem with the Way Scientists Study Reason
Excellent read and a key concept.

I'd had a general idea about this, but it was crystalized by a vehicle dynamics engineer and racer who mentored me in both engineering and race driving. He said:

"You need to know the difference between skill and getting away with something"

I.e., just because you survive an event does not mean that it is reliable. If it is based on skill, you can replicate it and reliably survive. If it based on luck, well . . . take the bit of grace you were given by the Gods and learn your lesson to not do it again. Mostly, THINK.

I'm a long time Apple user from the Mac SE. The reason I switched to OSX was effectively, I was getting a Unix OS than ran MS Office and came with a really nice suite of built in programmes that 'just worked'. It was the best of both worlds.

I'm a tinkerer and even today MacOS still allows me to tinker quite a lot. But there's no requirement to tinker. If I want to actually get work done, I can use it in 'It just works' mode.

Which makes it rather pointless, for now. Practically all non-GUI software that runs on Darwin can be made to run on Linux too and thereby even Cygwin. What I would much rather see is library support for some BSD standard functions that are missing from Linux. Trying to migrate software that uses funopen(3) to Linux gives me an ulcer.
If you look at what nuclear power plants actually end up costing, they are very expensive. Paper studies that promise us otherwise don't make up for that. It's been the consistent history of nuclear power that those promises aren't worth the paper they're printed on.
"you can still get around the city by bicycle if you want"

Except:

- bicycles can't cross the river via the tunnels, so you have to wait for a ferry to get to/from puxi/pudong (I remember this adding almost one hour to my journey one night, as the first couple of ferry terminals I visited had closed for the day, and the third had a long wait until the next ferry).

- some of the streets around the major shopping areas prohibit cyclists, even though they are open to cars and pedestrians
I worked in over 10 films as a camera guy/DOP. I think what grain can really do, is to give you the feeling you are looking ONTO a picture rather than INTO a world. They might not know it, but by using this aesthetics, they say: look at the picture of me, rather than "look at my world".

Nostalghia might be a factor for sure, but the driving factor is materiality. Many of us grew up in a very material world, this included film and photography. Everybody tried their best to make the media invisible (get rid of vinyl crackle, tape saturation/noise, colour shifts of badly treated optochemical films, glitches in maladjusted VHS heads, etc.) Today it is the polar opposite. Because the digital image can be so perfect, young people feel the urge to give it materiality, they add vinyl crackle to their music, they imitate the mistakes of old technology to make what they do something you look ONTO rather than INTO.
Ha! I still use Delphi (amongst other things)! It's great for producing Native Windows apps and is extremely performant (and still works with Win 10). I stuck with Delphi 7 (and thus avoided all the subsequent politics).
The fear is based on the already significant interference caused by consumer devices in other bands. 5G network infrastructure is likely better controlled, but doing so requires good regulation.

There is some possibility that the 5G systems could actually be used to measure some atmospheric properties, similar to the way Navstar GPS L1/L2 signals are analyzed, but since that isn't a requirement of the 5G spec/regulations, it won't be baked in.
Is coffee served cooler in your experience. 3 minutes seems like it would still be pretty hot?
In my opinion...

It's quite established how to answer this question. More specifically, it's a classic strategy question (with a lot of marketing in it). You should look up what broad theory is applicable. My take (have an MBA or equivalent) is to look at differentiation, segmentation, resource based strategy, feedback loops and platform theory, Porter's five forces with critique, a static VS a dynamic perspective.

If you can find a viable (hopefully quite sustainable) strategy, go for it. If you can't, then don't.

Barack Obama on why travel matters
> It's temporary.

Yes, it's called science.

> With more data, we will have more and more exceptions, which cannot be explained by patches to mainstream theory.

At which point we hopefully come up with a new theory which fits the observations, and leave the current mainstream theory behind. This happened for example when General Relativity was introduced.

Until we find a new theory which fits all the observations, we have a transition period where things are a bit confusing. See for example particle physics before the QCD model tied it back together. Now we're starting to see cracks in the the current standard model of particle physics, so something new is likely needed soon. This is science.

> I see just aged spectrum. IMHO, it's helium. :-/

The power spectrum I linked to is the angular power spectrum of the CMB. It's not the spectral density. The horizontal scale is (in essence) angular separation, not frequency.

How does helium explain the peaks in the angular power spectrum? Link to some calculations please.
