Your second point is a fair one. Your first makes me scratch my head. Sure, maybe few organizations by number, but you might've noticed that the Western world is dealing with the resurgence of some real odious ideological movements (which, interestingly enough, mirror religious movements elsewhere in tactics and in epistemic closure) whose primary mode of attraction is providing some measure of belonging for people who don't, or feel like they don't, in the main.

I'm not religious, I'm not a fan of organized religion as a thing, at least in the modern era--'toasterlovin makes good points about the historical and even current positives of such organizations, I'm not convinced they balance out to a net positive today but I'm much more willing to consider the notion historically. But there are nastier partners on the dance card right now and this kinda minimizes that.
Probably controversial views on the internet, ie. nothing actually bad.
You might want to check out the Unitarian Universalists, they provide many of the social benefits of organized religion without a specific belief system attached.

I would say that only the Instruction set is cross licensed, implementation techniques and hardware interfaces aren't (AMD CPUs shall not be compatible with Intel sockets, for example). Intel's SMT is known as hyper-threading, the patent has expired too but the name "hyper-threading" is still copyright protected and the property of Intel.

This isn't much of a problem for a hypersonic glide vehicle; it can correct course.
I think that generic volunteering might even make a person feeling worse, if they don't fit in with the organization.

All organizations have a culture.

Be strategic. Start with Meetup, find a couple of things that interest you and align with your work. Then find a role for yourself, a project that has specific outcomes and that you contribute to specifically. Have a cut off date where you either join something else, or move up in your role.

Or, go on a completely different tack and take up drumming in a drumming circle.
There's really no need to keep Win10 on the laptop. The Win10 license is kept in the UEFI so you can reinstall from a Win10 ISO at any time and it will activate correctly. This even has the added bonus of removing the Dell bloatware from your Windows install.
And in those workstation class laptops (that use NVMe PCIe SSD), do you only pay 50$ more to upgrade from 512gb to 1tb?

No one is saying those SSDs are Apple exclusive, they are however expensive.
About three days. Opted to have it shipped back to me and they overnighted it.
I have changed 7 jobs in 15 years so far and not once I have done Windows development in Visual Studio. Nor have I seen anyone in my company doing so.

I would say Windows development in Visual Studio is by far uncommon when you compare with technologies like Python, C (with GCC or Clang), Java (OpenJDK), JavaScript, etc.
That's really interesting. Where are you located? I had my 2017 done a few months ago (back when they were shipping them all out), and I definitely got the old mechanism. Would love to get the new version!
I really doubt they avoid data fragmentation well enough for this to make a difference.

$250 for a 1TB 970 EVO Plus. Which has better write throughput.
I agree with you that China has placed restrictions on foreign company doing business in China and not Chinese companies doing business in China. This is a big issue and I think China should reflect on this. But what I am saying is China at the government layer has not targeted an existing foreign company with billion dollars sales and many employees whose livihood depends on the company and limit it in a fashion that it cannot function. Huawei employes 10000+ people and many local economy depends on the company. What if the company goes under because of US influence right now? People lose their jobs their homes and etc? Would you say that through US actions it has directly negatively affected the civilian lives of another country? I think one has to consider the severity of ones attack. It's one thing to put obstacles and roadblocks, but it's another thing to kill another all together.
Yeah, I guess (if I got my math right) that'd be $10/month for the writes, 2.1 million per month, first million free, and you'd just go over an extra million.

> are batch writes counted as single request?

Batch write is more of a convenience thing than a cost saving thing; it's billed the same way as if you'd done each write individually.

> Do you plan exposing more worker friendly way of batch write?

Possibly, if there's demand for it. As with any platform, you build a thing, people use it, and sometimes you don't imagine the ways that they use it.

> Do you have any plans about atomic counters (could be really useful for rate limiting, abuse control etc)?

I agree that this is a feature that would certainly be very useful; I'd like to have it but can't make any promises, of course.

> Do you plan adding list/range operations for KV?

The API does have a list call: https://api.cloudflare.com/#workers-kv-namespace-list-a-name...

There's no convenient wrapper for it inside of the worker; this is something people want, so we'll see!
I’d love there do be more interaction between radiographers and devs. There are some strange bugs on all the major platforms (my GE experience is now probably too old to be relevant) and removing them would be so excellent.

That's what we do. Have a summary file and a detail file and they need to match.
I'm also curious about this - from what I remember from the relevant bits of history lessons, the early antitrust laws were enacted at least in part to quash the price-fixing of guilds.

Unions have rights to conduct in collective bargaining, but I'm not aware of any similar allowances for guilds of independent contractors to set prices collectively where it would have anticompetitive effects - they're treated just the same as other traders / companies.
Not to mention that it’s basically 4 SSDs on 4 PCIe buses.

Edit: I don’t really understand downvotes. SSD on recent Macbook Pros does connect to the northbridge via 4 PCIe lanes. And this is not what “but look I can the same for £50” SSD does.
This is something I didn’t understand as a child questioning God. As an adult, I view church in a much more positive light.

Which more restricted open source license would prevent that? There is none!
I like the touch bar too. I just want the Esc key back (although they did add the option to remap CapsLock to Esc, so hurray for that, but honestly it was a delayed feature.)
> Do not leave funds idle on exchanges or fiat on-ramps.

This warning has been publicly repeated hundreds of times since 2010, yet people still insist on ignoring it.

The author didn't lose anything. He gave Coinbase his bitcoin in exchange for a promise to pay it back. That deal backfired.

> I knew the risks better than most, but never thought something like this could happen to me.

There's knowing the risk, and then there's knowing the risk. I'd suggest that the author didn't really know the risk, or he would never have considered leaving such a valuable asset in the care of an organization so ill-equipped to safeguard it.
I get it, but also please map capslock to escape, your pinky will thank you for it
If there's not an obvious security contact at the agency, you can always report vulnerabilities to US-CERT, which has overall responsibility for connecting reporters to the right responders. https://www.us-cert.gov/

This links to the report form at https://www.kb.cert.org/vuls/govreport/

As with all vulnerability reporting, it's much more likely that someone will take action on your report if you can provide evidence or a reproducible proof of concept.

18F/TTS can sometimes direct reports to the right place, but it's really not their job to do so.
Link no longer works.
> The developer is super shady and is using legal tricks to make themselves tons of money at the expense of the community.

The developer bent over backwards to please the "community" only to see Better Cupertino torpedo the whole process out of rage at having to live by poorer neighbors. SB 35 is precisely the "legal trick" that was needed to force bad actors like Cupertino to do their part.

> There are plenty of other ways for them to be both profitable and provide below market housing without building millions of square feet of office space.

Cross-subsidy of affordable housing with office space is how affordable housing gets built. There is almost no funding available. Look at how long it took to get a paltry 211 units of affordable housing built in Oakland: https://twitter.com/LibbySchaaf/status/1128872869771980800?s...

Haha, this was pretty much it for me too. I'd imagine going down the hardware route is a lot of fun with a lot of lessons learnt, but an expensive lesson.

I mean, isn't that what Ad Blockers are for? Blocking ads?
Ace barely scratches the surface if you need to do anything beyond what a normal homeowner would do by themselves. It's the training wheels of hardware stores but the selection (and quality) of tools is a lot lower because for higher priced, more specialized stuff nobody goes there.
Translation:

"We're losing mindshare and customers to open-source alternatives."

Great open-source alternatives to Wolfram products can be found in the ecosystems of projects like Jupyter, Scientific Python, TensorFlow, PyTorch, and Julia, to name a few.

It's hard to compete against that.
Lots of people on HN call the Mac OS 'great' ... But why? What is so great about it that is not similar on Linux or Windows?

When ye say "great", I think ye mean "the one I am familiar with".
”when I was in college (early 2000s), most of Apple's docs were littered with "description forthcoming" EVERYWHERE”

Looking back, that wasn’t too surprising. Early 2000s, Mac OS X had just shipped. Apple had managed to build a working system, glueing together highly different sound, text, windowing and file systems APIs, but didn’t know yet what the APIs that they wanted to support long time were going to look like.

They also didn’t want to say lie don’t know yet whether we will support this long term”, as that would chase away the developers they dearly needed.
Definitely, compensation is a big factor. In fact, compensation for women in other roles is also a factor. The more that women can be paid in technical / other roles, the more flexibility their partners would have to take on jobs that don't pay as much but that might be more personally satisfying (like this). People who object to women getting paid more often seem to treat it as a zero-sum game, rather than as a rising tide lifting all boats.
I don't want to sound overly pessimistic here, but in my personal experience companies from second and third-world seem to have learned expertly how to exploit the "humanity" angle to outsiders while secretly exploiting their workers
internally.

Can't say I see this in black and white necessarily, but I strongly suspect these companies (conglomerates of 2nd and 3rd world countries especially, and even their governments) realize this is the vocabulary of the 21st century and are using this to try to continue marketing themselves.

EDIT: In no way do I think first-world companies / countries are pure. I just notice this and its impact far more with respect to 2nd and 3rd world.
I'm in the final stretches of mine right now, in fact.

The article describes an 8 bit CPU with 17 instructions.

CHIP-8 is an 8 bit CPU with 31 instructions, but crucially, it has a large amount of documentation[0] and a nice corpus of ROMS available[1] making it a bit easier as you don't have necessarily write your own programs for a CPU you don't fully understand yet.

But still, as you notice, in the right order.

Transliteration doesn't really come into it. Of course the Japanese would write スティーブ・ジョブス (but emphatically not ジョブス・スティーブ) rather than Steve Jobs, just the same way as we write Abe Shinzo rather than 安倍晋三.
The conference scene feels like such a hostile environment. I have my own reasons for not being interested in speaking, but even absent that, my desire to avoid anything resembling the above is much stronger than whatever desire to have people listen to me talk about computers. And that's just speaking; organizing is something I would never do, and really can't imagine how people put up with it.

There is a conference I've gone to twice now and really enjoyed, so I'm going again this year. But I expect as this conference grows, eventually this stuff will come along with it and I'll stop attending.

It's a shame, but I don't really pin this hostility on any particular group (ie, I'm not mad about "SJWs" or whatever). A lot of people acted in bad faith for a lot of years for us to reach this point. There is another poster in this thread talking about how "cry bullies" caused the problem. That kind of shit is not helping.
Is there a petition I can sign? Will pay 20% on top.
> what are some simple facts that would cause revolutions nowadays if made widely known

One example I would suggest is how incredibly simplified (very often to the point of being objectively not true) the various hot button topics of the world are described in the media (official and social), if they are reported on at all.

One of the main reasons "fake" news is so successful is that it's so easy to find untruths to exploit in the official or status quo descriptions of reality.
> They are large, but far from overflowing.

Sure, but isn't large relative? Sure you can make them overflow in octave as well, given enough layers. Which brings us to next point :-)

> All the USB-C ports on the new MacBook Pros double as Thunderbolt 3 ports — IMO this is a big advantage over other laptops where some ports are USB-C only.

The disadvantage is that one of those USB-C ports will be your charging port when there is only 4 on the 15" and 2 on the 13".

I don't mind USB-C/Thunderbolt so much, I think it's great we'll get products that will be forced to adopt it (looking at you, audio interfaces/DACs). The MBP has been a port desert for a long time and dongles are awful UX - and they just keep removing more and more of them.

It baffles me when they try and do things that seem to improve UI/UX, like the touchbar (which I hate, but I get it), the move to Retina displays, high quality dual-front facing speakers on all models now, etc... but then they turn around and remove IO options and roll out a terrible keyboard. It seems like they have warped priorities for the mac line.

Personally if the move to ARM and don't offer MacOS as a standalone product, the pro-media world will probably abandon Macs altogether. And I don't really want to develop for another OS, I love mac. The machines are just awful.
Sure, performance will increase, I'm not arguing with that. I was just refering to my own experience. Personally, particarly this issue, made me use servers/clusters more, so data analysis or massive code compilation I do remotely, and for me 'Pro' now means a stable OS, good screen, good touchpad, good sound laptop which just runs IDE and browser (and occasional small Python tests of algorithms in Jupiter).
And a 20 year old laptop is relevant because... ?
I cheated on my Microsoft interview
I had this issue. I assumed it was heat related, as the laptops can get real hot and sometimes I’m sure it doesn’t shut down properly when you close it - on mine the marks corresponded with the top bit of the keyboard, where it gets hottest.

Brought it in under Apple care and it was replaced (along with the keyboard, rolls eyes) no questions.

How can a mobile carrier operate like this?? No authentication that the request isn't fraudulent?

In Sweden I switched to another carrier, still keeping the number in the same name. To do that I got a text message with a code I had to input to initiate the process.

When I ported my phone number from my father to me within the same carrier when I turned 18 that required the same confirmation to initiate the process and signed request/approval both from me and my father posted to the company, with associated emails about the process.

This isn't even hard? This is just basic steps to prevent identity theft....
Do people also get annoyed at printed paper being white? Do they wish books had black pages? If not, as you say, it is only a matter of adjusting the screen for the proper brightness, depending on ambient light.

And it is true that, inevitably, whatever you're doing, sooner or later some white background or picture will appear on screen and blast your eyes with light. I cannot stand this, so I don't use dark themes on my PC.

> Dynamic languages let you think a problem you haven't thought of at design time will somehow solve itself magically at runtime, using components designed weeks before, with knowledge of that time.

I think that's a misleading summary. Both dynamic and static languages suffer when it comes to changes over time (people will argue over which suffers more, but both suffer) so solving problems you haven't thought through is hardly a problem unique to dynamic languages.
People see the terrible flaws and little else because the media distorts the truth. The Westboro Baptist Church gets more media attention than a thousand inclusive churches.
If I understand correctly, you're suggesting that the US middle class suffered as a result of trying to help the Chinese?

That would make sense if as a whole the US economy started stagnating because of trade with China but as far as I know the US GDP has still been growing.

Given that the US is still as a whole doing well, I'd argue that the reason the middle/lower class isn't doing well isn't because of China but because of the imbalance in where these profits have gone. In other words, I think it's wealth inequality that is the real issue.
