Thanks, I'll be looking into this more.
What would you use in its place? If you just said "All Chromebooks will also be Linux laptops", it's reasonable to expect that existing Chromebooks will be made Linux-ready as well. That's what the word "all" means, it means "all". But that's not the case. Only devices "launched this year" are guaranteed to be Linux-ready according to the article.

"Going forward" means "from now on, but not including the past". Going forward is a much easier way of saying "from now on, but not including the past". I'm willing to accept that there is a better way, but I'd like to hear what that is. And it can't just be dropping the words "going forward", for the reason I've already explained.
Pilots train for years too. Does it mean plane passengers have to as well?

>> I'm all for anything that gets us back to the Moon, but this clearly feels underwhelming versus Starship.

Rovers are incredibly underwhelming compared to what was done 50 years ago. Starship will get us back there, but anything short of a base where people can stay a while will not really be new.
Hackberrys grow very quickly, you can water them and watch it grow like a weed. They also fall down in storms. I removed one from my yard and will be planting an Eastern Persimmon instead.
I'm honestly underwhelmed. This is not more capability than Apollo (uncrewed variant of whose lander could land about 5 tons). A really high deck making egress difficult. Apparently expendable. Given Blue Origin's resources, they should be shooting far higher.

There's a bunch of small companies pursuing expendable lunar landers of similar capabilities. I worry Blue Origin will just crowd them out.

A reusable upper stage or reusable lander (or both) would be more interesting and more important. Bezos is/was the richest man and Blue origin is given roughly a billion dollars of capital every year, and a relatively modest expendable lunar lander is their big announcement? And even that they may have difficulty executing on in a timely manner.

I don't think Blue Origin can't do this. I just think it's far too modest of a goal for a company with free rein over a billion dollars in additional annual capital.

...and I'm also skeptical of mass drivers (of the typical type) and lunar mining. Plenty of shade thrown at Mars, but Mars has vastly more resources.

Additionally, the architecture of the lander is disappointing. A crasher stage (ala the Surveyor spacecraft which used a kick stage for deorbiting) for most of descent would be far more efficient. It'd allow a much smaller and cheaper descent stage and much lower to the ground, making egress much easier.

It is because the UEFI standard was designed to give the vendors such freedom. The only way to make vendors do the sensible things is to force them with a strict standard as possible, defining almost everything about openness and security. Even in this case there will be vendors who: 1) can't read the specification 2) do the thing their own way 3) obfuscate code for the sake of obfuscation 4) write the code the worst way possible.
Stop buying chinese.
Just another sub-standard database engine that will flop like Mongo did.
I hope not too much longer, but I think the proximity to China and Russia will prevent decent, republican government from winning out.

America had her chance to put North Korea back down for years, any time before the acquisition of nukes. Officials from both sides were too cowardly, and America allowed one more nation to get nuclear weapons. One more threat to her citizens, and a completely irresponsible action by every politician.
I switched to falkon and hope to never go back to firefox.
The "Chinese math" fallacy is only fallacious when it hides how difficult it is to steal a small percentage of a giant established market.

How exactly does the "fallacy" apply to Uber, a company that thoroughly understands how difficult it is to carve a big chunk out of entrenched competitors?

Since they've already demonstrated the ability to steal a sizable percentage of the taxi and car rental markets, it's good for Uber that they didn't listen to all the smart guys on HN.
If they want to change the law going forward, then sure - they can continue to cook the golden goose. I don't live there, so in the narrow sense it's not my problem.

But changing it retroactively - dated to a few days before a particular company's IPO - is banana republic shit.
I get that, but you can waste all of your time baling out water, or you can plug the hole.
Distributed message based applications in Node – a Framework
All it takes to disable Gatekeeper is a single Terminal command. All it takes to disable System Integrity Protection is a single Terminal command run from recovery mode. By my count, that is ten minutes of work at most to allow not just unsigned software but unsigned drivers that run at a super low level.

Add in a few more Terminal commands and you can even disable really arcane things like amfi [1]. I don't know why you'd ever want to do that, and it's probably a bad idea, but you can, so by all means please go nuts.

When Apple starts taking away Terminal commands you are free to start screaming, and I'll be there with you. For now, all Apple has ever done on macOS is remove UI options, which keeps inexperienced users from running into them.

P.S. Microsoft, by contrast, does not let you permanently disable driver signing on 64 bit Windows 8/10. This perpetually drives me nuts, but no one else seems to care for some reason...
This whole mini-site looks like an extremely audacious undergrad aerospace engineering group project.

Except when I was an undergrad, it was all about going to Mars.
That heavily depends on the definition of "beaten", and also what "open source kernels" actually means in context. A compatibility layer means little, considering Linux has had a Windows compatibility layer far longer than vice versa. And does an open source kernel matter much when the userland is closed source and proprietary? Or when the apps are closed source and proprietary? Or when computing shifts to a closed source and proprietary Internet environment?
This isn't a restriction if you're AWS and looking to give more customers a soft landing over an extended deprecation timeframe.

It meant that simple and useful utility like calc became a visually bloated app with sluggish UX.

That's an excellent example. A calculator does not need a loading screen, nor should it take over a second to start on any remotely modern machine. Fortunately MS have released the source, so you can see for yourself just how much bloat there is:

https://github.com/Microsoft/calculator

To compare, you can also see the source of the old "classic" calculator from Windows 2000 here:

https://github.com/pustladi/Windows-2000/tree/661d000d50637e...

That said, Windows CE was an attempt "to unify the UX", being basically a subset of Win32, and that didn't cause anywhere near the same level of disgust, so I'd attribute the bloat more to the cruft of "modern practices" than anything else.
These are construction and civil engineers. I have family and friends listed in your link and they are all in construction.

I do not see any EEs, MEs, or SEs.
Ah, thank you for the sourcing. I shall read them but I was wondering if you have a response to this critical analysis, "Seattle — A Cautionary Tale for Supply-Side Housing Advocates."[1]

It notes how Seattle is often cited by deregulation advocates, but that "in spite of decades of indisputably strong development, Seattle’s share of cost-burdened renters has barely budged." And "by overbuilding housing for the wealthy, Seattle has achieved some short-term improvement in affordability for the middle class, at the expense of substantial displacement and continued upward pressure on the most vulnerable."

This I think is at the heart of what in SF some call the YIMBY vs. PHIMBY[2] debate. YIMBYs tend to skew towards more privileged techie types (happy to dig up sourcing on this.. I recall the YIMBY national meeting being called overwhlemingly white). Whereas the PHIMBYs or whatever you want to call them, the deeply affordable housing advocates, see flaws in that simplistic trickle-down economics model based on lived experience in working-class neighborhoods undergoing gentrification.

I've used it a bit and it is pretty powerful to say the least as they've been shoving functions into it to cover nearly every domain of computing for decades in a consistent manner.

The notebooks are great, but I find Jupyter notebooks to be good enough even if they aren't as good in many ways if you aren't skilled in markup.

One of their senior scientists (Matt Trout) has some insane blog posts that show off the power of the language. He has one on using Laplace Transforms to hide an image of a goat. It is basically pages of Math. It would take two or three times the code in Python I bet.

Annoyingly, I wouldn't really use it in production as deployment looks painful and it limits the number of cores you can use. I usually use it as a super powerful prototyping tool.
Really solid advice, thank you!
Will the Linux container be able to access Google drive?

If so, any hope to see Google drive proper support for regular Linux?
No, it's not ok.

Cities are dynamic, and always changing. They are either growing or dying. A very few may have found temporary equilibrium.

If a city wants to stay the same size, what they usually mean is that they wish to stay the same size at the same affordability level. However, since change is constant, their best attempt regulates growth. The natural result is economic stagnation (leading to eventual death), or city growth in spite of the regulation (leading to runaway prices).

Every city has the right to choose HOW they will change. They do not have the right to insist that they WON'T change, or that such a thing is even possible.
Users are not protected from malware distributed via Chrome Web Store and Google Play. This "security" is intended not to protect users, but to protect proprietary apps and data from users, the true motive is DRM rather than security.
> Self-driving cars are more expensive than a human-driven fleet.

Only in the very short term. Over 10 years the cost of self driving is much much less than the cost of paying a worker to drive a car for 10 years, once the tech is developed and good enough. Just a matter of who wins that race - and how long they win that race for. If you beat the rest of the market by 10 years, there is some serious profit to take. If your competitor finishes 10 years of research 3 months after you, you are in trouble.
Epic store is not a console app.
Uber accepts cash in many countries partly because they were also cash-first economies but it'd be only fair to allow the full spectrum of the socio-economic strata to be part of the everyday life proceedings, the very founding pillar of the modern day democracy. A person shouldn't ideally be refused service on a lawful ground, having cash or not having a card isn't a crime, yet!
> but you have to license all the cores you have

Is that the case? I'm sure I've seen people running on limited cores for licencing reasons rather than having to licence every core. Not sir if that was enforced by the engine refusing to use more, or via seeing processor affinities.
> “For-profit developers have predominantly built for the luxury and higher end of the market, leaving a glut of overpriced apartments in some cities,” said Diane Yentel, president and chief executive of the National Low Income Housing Coalition, an advocacy group.

I can't read the chronicle article, but your wapo article is mainly just the opinions of interested people like this. For example, nowhere does it give the actual number of "luxury" units built in Seattle, SF, or Portland -- those would be important numbers if you're trying to comprehend the argument being put forward.
What on earth is exponential technology?
How is it different? It is literally compiling a bunch of packages and creating an ISO or install method. You can do this yourself and store the packages in a searchable repo like most other Linux distros. Void was created and is well maintained by very few people, and so was Alpine when it started. With a little automation this should have been done at the same time RHEL was released.
So they worked hard where the work was, then took their money and moved where it'll last longest.

Sounds smart to me. Nothing shady about it, just playing your cards right. (As a bonus, they leave a high-paying spot and a place to live for someone else to advance into back in California.)

Kudos to the winners in this game.
this is what I've been looking for for a long time and wish it was more mainstream. I'd go a step further and say I'd prefer not to vote for a party; but rather cast my preferences like your form and then elect parties based on the majority support of policies.

great job!
That certainly rings a bell here too, though I remember the phrase coming to be more general than trying to AOL users.
In a free market business, you can get special treatment, favors, etc., by offering more money. For example, if you want a better apartment, you pay more money for it. Under socialism, where supposedly everyone is treated equally and the apartments are supposedly equal, you get the better apartment using influence, trading favors, bartering, etc.

For another example, when you need surgery, which surgeon do you get? Under capitalism, you pay more for the better surgeon. Under socialism, you get the better surgeon through influence, favors, barter, bribes, etc. The same goes for any service or product where nothing is exactly equal.
They have primaries, don’t they?
Sure? But someone basically said there's nothing more to be learned or discussed.
To the contrary, I'd argue spending on spaceflight in current day is significantly more challenging and laudable than solving some more "real-world" problems.

Those problems are quite important, but I'd prefer to live in the world where space problems are among those worthy of attention.
Based on what I've seen, the new Windows Terminal is far from being close to anything on Linux.
That whole section should just be deleted as IANAL speculation. If they're not sure about it then it's just noise. If they were sure about it, the project would be redundant.
So much hyperbole in this comment…

Yes, CA is one of the better states in the United States, but it is by no means half of the things you say.

No, it is not the #1 economy in the world (hello, the rest of the US exists, as does China and Japan and Germany)[1].

Neither was CA the first to pioneer recreational marijuana or decriminalize drugs. Other states like WA and CO did it first, not to mention other countries like the Netherlands or Portugal.

Nor was CA the shining beacon of LGTB rights. Do you not remember Prop 8?

Nor did we do a bang-up job of protecting our environment, or do you not remember the drought and wildfires of recent years, exacerbated by our unchecked agriculture which is pumping our aquifers dry for some of the most water-hungry crops (like almonds).

I'll stop here because I have to board a flight and you get the point. Surely you know half the things you said aren't true.

actually try the framework, you might be pleasantly surprised

Enough people have used UWP apps and been repulsed enough by the experience to not want to inflict the same upon the users of apps they themselves write.

But UWP is an excellent choice for probably 70-90% of desktop applications

No. It's a massive failure even for something as simple as the Windows calculator, which is one of the apps that MS rewrote so you can actually compare the Win32 and UWP versions.
Doesnt change the fact _this_ particular blogger personally holds a paper promising him $500K worth of supercars .. if, and only if Tesla doesnt bo under before releasing Roadster somewhere in 2021-2022. Id say half a million dollars is enough to make you strongly biased.
In this day and age you're living on borrowed time using an old version of a web browser. This state of affairs has its good and bad, but your modern-day browser vendors don't typically maintain branches of old versions to make security and bug fixes (especially when they change things for security reasons, as with this case of old-style addons being removed). If you're going to insist on using an old unsupported version you have to accept the risk of things eventually breaking and the inconvenience of workarounds like the one you described.
That may be true, but in case anyone thinks the two are comparable:

I used Mathcad a bit in undergrad and my wife (civil engineer) used it extensively for all engineering courses for 4 years. One of her main professors wrote an entire civil engineering textbook in Mathcad and that was why they pushed it. It was a decent and cheap math tool, but Mathematica is orders of magnitude more mature from a language, functionality, graphics...really it beats Mathcad in everything except cost. The gulf between the two is like Windows 95 and Windows 10. Mathematica has support for neural networks, time series data, blockchain, 3D printing, running on Arduino, transpiling to C, Natural language processing, insanely detailed graphics primitives, web crawling...etc etc.

Matlab and Maple have done a better job keeping up, but Mathematica beats those easily as well in my opinion although they are somewhat different products.
But SpaceX still moves faster than Blue Origin, even though SpaceX promises to move much faster and then fails to do that.

It makes me wonder how much of a slowdown GPU accelerated neural nets will get due to the mass reading of shared input values.
> UWP is great for the end consumer

It it? I've never developed windows GUI apps, so can't comment on a technical level. But from a consumer perspective all the UWP apps I've tried, including those shipped by Microsoft with Windows 10, are awful. I think Windows 10 Mail could be the worst GUI application ever written. I used Windows 10 for most of the last year, and it got to the point where the Windows Store became my primary filter for apps - ie. if an app was available there, I'd cross it off my list of candidates.
Amazing find! I really think everybody should check out the rest of his website, it's full of gems. I especially like his Telefunken's Bouncing Ball implementation.[1] Ever since I took a dive into hardware, I've been excited by the possibilities of analog computing.

It's great to see fun and stimulating examples that you (might) be able to reproduce yourself. Also, his Analog Computing Bookshelf photo is very cool.[2]

Anybody else on HN have experience / pointers on where to find more stuff like this w.r.t. analog computing?

Hear hear. Very well written. I too was shocked that this was possible.
The top-line figure of the SF budget is misleading because it includes the SFO airport. This arrangement is unusual in the United States. Chicago operates ORD and MDW out of a separate budget, like most US cities do [1].

Notice the large difference in the size of Chicago's enterprise budget [2] and San Francisco's enterprise budget [3]. SFO is considered part of the enterprise budget of the City and County of San Francisco, but it's a separate fund entirely for Chicago.

(As an aside, this setup means that the mayor of San Francisco doubles as the CEO of the SFO airport, which is also unusual.)

They’re changing the tax rate from 0.38% to 1.5%. That’s not going to make a noticeable difference to these employees. Small fluctuations in the stock price will affect them far more.

The startup/IPO game is already incredibly unfair. How many people put in that same hard work only to be left broke at the end of it because their startup failed? Someone losing out on 1.12% of their IPO riches is pretty irrelevant by comparison.
Is this sarcasm?

Else...
The answer is less apps and device time. Even having an app to help with 'human downgrading' takes up brainspace and a lingering attachment to the screen and devices. Though I suppose since screentime/devices aren't going away any time soon might as well try to mitigate it a bit.
If you have a Samsung you can use disconnect pro. It works well.
