Best 80-something € spent so far were on a new battery set https://eustore.ifixit.com/en/Parts/MacBook-Parts/Macbook-Pr...

Cost me 2 hrs and some bruised fingers but I'm good for years.

And if Apple hasn't amended this disaster when this battery fails, I'll replace it again.

You are moving the goal posts of the original comment.

OP said it's a 50$ upgrade.

It is not.

It's a 450$ retail price and 250$ sale price for a slightly slower SSD.

Yes, companies make money when they do things for you.
You seem to have an axe to grind. They have made a very nice ecosystem over the course of 30 years, they are opening it up more. They are proud of "how uniform, elegant and stable a design we’ve been able to maintain across the whole language." It is difficult to get that in an open source project and ecosystem. This has some marvelous qualities that come from its closed source nature. It is special because of that. Having both open source and closed source projects in the world complement each other. Use the best tool for the job. Sometimes the best tool is to be closed source, sometimes open source. There are pros _and_ cons to _both_. I think it is great and applaud them for making such a nice tool, and now making it more widely available. Maybe it wouldn't be so great if it started out open source, or would be similar to open source things and not be distinct enough, so I'm grateful for what it is and what it is not.
Those aren't equivocal? We're just putting the emphasis on one end or the other it looks like
I grew up in northern Iowa, so the Twin Cities were our closes major metropolitan area. My mom's family is from 2 hours north of them. My wife's parents both grew up even further north. It gets cold, but once it gets below 0F it all feels roughly the same. At that point there is no humidity in the air, which is what really makes you cold to your bones.

I think the biggest thing people have to get used to is that there is roughly a 120F temperature swing from January to August.
I actually recently had a discussion on here about how, as a religious person, I'm baffled at how arbitrary some religious people are in their religion (see https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19915081). Yet at the same time, I'm equally disturbed by the way we seem to have a problem "permitting" a belief in something?

edit: And I realize your point, which is one I do agree with, is that the benefits of community are not a reason to be religious and is distinct from that. But your choice of words is indeed reminiscent of many things I've heard from people in somewhat mainstream political discussions about how freedom of religion essentially needs to just go away. And as someone who has campaigned and voted for the very things many people are against on religious grounds precisely because I think anything that doesn't hurt somebody should be legal, I can't stand to see it backfiring equally on my self as it does upon religious bigots.
I've been thinking about the difference between video game software and most CRUD software. With most CRUD software you are expecting future changes, so you have to be more conscious about tech debt. But with video games (at least older ones), once you ship you're more or less done.

I wonder if that gives room to take on extreme debt at the last minute before shipping a game. An example might be when Steve Ellis added multiplayer to Goldeneye on N64 a couple months before launch. Since they were going to ship a finished product, he was probably able to build it much faster without having to worry about code quality.

100% agree. I'm typing this on a 2015 Macbook Pro, and holding on for dear life, even as it has started alerting me about servicing the battery. It's a great machine. I tried using the touchbar on my son's newer MBP. It's awful, and not meant for serious use. His laptop has been replaced once already due to keyboard issue, and starting to show defects again.
Ask HN: How common is it for an investor to ask for this kind of option?
We are currently in the process of raising our first round. One of the investors we are talking to wants the option to get 4% at a valuation event (≈100× the current round) or at any exit event, at the cost of the current round. They want to be able to allocate this equity to mentors they bring in and/or to partners in their own company, as they are a strategic/hands-on investor for us. This is on top of their commitment in this round. We would set up KPIs to unlock the equity. Are similar terms common? How will they affect us in future rounds?

This kind of sums up the whole article:

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

This also explains why this article is useless as a warning. Someone who will be hacked like this in the future is reading now this article and saying "hmm, I should be securing my holdings against this, but I don't have time now, and this won't happen to me right away, I'll look into it next week"

It's like the countless articles which appear after backup failures. "I knew I was supposed to test restoring from backup, but...."
Ostensibly, because it helps to solve the problems you've been hired to solve...
I've had the same problem. I had a i7 T420 with 16GB of RAM that was lightning quick when I got it and over a few years became completely unusable even for basic tasks. When I hit the Windows key to open the start menu, I could turn and take a sip of coffee before it opened. Reformatting and reinstalling from scratch did nothing to improve the speed.

I switched to a Macbook soon after and it is just as fast today as it was when I got it four years ago. I recently fired up that old T420 and popped an older, unused SSD into it. Instant game-changer. It is unbelievable how much faster it is with an SSD, the same speed it was with Windows 7 when I first got it.

Seriously, get an SSD.
> I feel too old to compile my own kernel for a glitchy wifi driver, and Windows? Nah, get away...

Linux hasn't had issues with the major wifi chipsets in ages. It's as plug and play as Mac and Windows are. There are plenty of reasons people might choose to avoid Linux, but drivers (outside of specialty, niche or obscure hardware) aren't really a reason anymore.
Cults specifically look for people who aren't already tied in to healthier communities when they're recruiting. They want people who feel alienated and disconnected, because those feelings make them easy marks for what the cult is selling. With participation in healthier communities of all kinds slowly atrophying since the early '90s, the pool of people vulnerable to the appeal of toxic communities has grown.

The way to drive toxic communities back to the fringes of society is to build and support healthy ones.
Represented as the Minister proposes, it would be KONO Tarо̄. This relies on a bit of cultural knowledge; 太郎 (Tarо̄) is a very common first name for males in Japan.

The article is a smidge ironic, though; in this article about proposing a Last First standard, the Times refers to the promulgator via First Last. I suppose they're technically in keeping with current standards by using First Last, since the Minister's proposal is brand new.

There is an impressive amount of variation regarding personal name formats even within Asia.

In my culture (Thai), I put my given name first and then my family name (inherited from my father), like in most of the west, but actually my name of formal address is my first, given name, and my family name is hardly ever used except as a differentiator. [1]

In Vietnamese culture, I believe the given name is also the name of formal address, yet the family name comes first as in China and Japan. Hence Nguyen Anh would be called "Anh".

Yeah the upgrade policy at my work kicked in and they tried to give me one of these... instead I got a Thinkpad X1 Extreme and put Linux on it. No regrets.
> The developer bent over backwards to please the "community"

I was part of those meetings. Not a single thing the residents asked for was offered in their plans.

Furthermore, if you look at their track record, it's terrible. They don't deliver on anything they promise. Did you know that there was supposed to be a park at Main Street? They somehow got the City Council to approve a variance after the project went forward (and coincidentally raised a bunch of money for one of the city council members). I suspect they would do the same with that park roof they suggested, which every engineer you ask will tell you is most likely impossible to build.

The crux of the issue here is that there was some major corruption between the city council and the developer, which seems to have been solved with the most recent election, and now someone needs to clean up the mess.

> Cross-subsidy of affordable housing with office space is how affordable housing gets built. There is almost no funding available.

That's fine, but how about building less office than housing, and then put in an amount of affordable housing commensurate with the income from the offices? Or how about no office at all, and instead put an extra tax on the retail businesses to pay for affordable housing? There are lots of other options besides building a mega office park that would create a housing deficit. That solves nothing.

> Anyway, Vallco is an embarrassing blight on the South Bay. Virtually anything would be better than the decaying mall that's there today.

It's only decaying because the developer wouldn't renew the leases of the people who were in there, so they could push the "abandoned" narrative. It sucked for the business owners who were forced out. Yeah, a lot of them were behind on rent, but that was because the developer put no resources into the mall. They manufactured its accelerated demise for their narrative.

So yeah, I agree, it's a blight now, but a blight the very same developers brought upon us.

Oh, and did I mention those developers break city ordinances all the time with seemingly no consequence? They were doing construction at 3am on Sunday at one point. How do I know? They banged so hard my kid was scared awake. I have video of them bulldozing at 3am on a Sunday. I called to police, who said they couldn't even identify if they had a permit. But they were at it again the next weekend!
>I'm have a hard time assuming good faith in your argument as the HN guidelines tell me to do.

Seriously? You should Google before becoming quite so self righteous:

That should be markedly better in Firefox 67, since we've just now switched to dav1d, a much more efficient decoder by the VideoLAN folks. Prior to that, we were using the reference implementation from libaom.
Hmm, having been a volunteer in a radio program about Children's rights for years, your view of volunteering is not necessarily accurate.
I used to criticize church until I realized that people spent hours every day watching extreme dumb shows alone on their couch. Religious rituals give a pace to social and mental life that, even though archaic and even absurd in a way, seems a ton better than the modern life we were fed :)

He does not explain the whole story, so it is difficult to know. It does not really seem that he tried to talk to the person whose talk was cancelled (and who had probably already bought plane tickets, etc).

I agree that, in the end, it is true that this person was a troublemaker that should not have been invited in the first place. However, it seems from the text that the organizers decided to cancel the invitation before receiving any input whatsoever from the concerned person. I cannot see how this is ok.

Imagine that this person has been bullied in such a way out of a dozen conferences by a concerted effort of a few colleagues that hate her. And for this last conference, she exploded with great and not completely unjustified ire. Whatever, it is a bit absurd to have an opinion on this question without information from both sides.

Until they fix the keyboard for real I'm not going there. I might hold out for a USB type A port, too -- other companies make perfectly good laptops with these.

How dependent is Apple on the "nerd factor" with its laptops? They definitely got a boost from capturing designers and "hip engineers" a while back; if these folks got disgusted and left, would it matter now?
>Disallowing such collaboration is

There wouldn't be much of a collaboration if people bail or a bad incident happens at the conference.

The fact that multiple people went out of their way to warn the conference organisers suggests this goes well beyond a normal difference of opinion.

In that context it was a difficult but correct call in my opinion.

Plus frankly if staying away from such people is uncivilized, then I'm ok with being uncivilized.
Ok, but it's not your place to decide the rights of others nor their responsibility to make your car safer paid for with their privacy. If you want to be safer put on a seatbelt and helmet and drive more slowly, rather than expressing entitlement to others whereabouts, choices, and associations.

History is largely a story of those without power breaking free from those who do and take advantage. Also, an inability to learn from fiction is a disadvantage.

I'm reading the first link and I see language like "83 percent," "50 percent funded," and "unfunded by $86.6 billion." Are you interpreting treis' comment as "hasn't made any of the payments?" Because I read it as, "hasn't made all of the payments," which seems accurate.

What have the biggest annoyances been when switching?

I occasionally try switching but always get frustrated with the amount of time I have to spend fussing with graphics drivers, multitouch drivers, keyboard shortcuts, etc, but it's possible that's because I've only really attempted it on Apple hardware.

That is the benefit, shipping quickly. It is exactly the same benefit as financial debt: It lets you start working now.

Technical debt is good if what you can create quickly and dirty actually improves your productivity. That is what tools can do.

In the real world if I incur in debt and my debt pays for a tool like a car-truck that lets me move myself and my things faster, I am improving my productivity. Sometimes tens of times.

Think of the difference between a sewing machine and hand sewing. Hundreds of times slower.

I can pay back my debt faster with good debt.

In software, if I can make a tool that in a quickly and dirty way is able to do things in seconds that take me hours and fatigue me, then it makes sense.

Sometimes you can even use your quick and dirty tool in order to clean the dirtiness of your own tool way faster. That is what bootstrapping is all about.

That is what compiler writers have always done. They started in assembler, then created the core of the language, and then they used their own language in order to improve the compiler.

Other writers used languages like Lisp with super slow compilation, most of the time interpreted, in order to create the core of the language in days instead of years.

You don't see the benefit of shipping quickly. For me it is one of the most important things in the world. People's salaries cost more in direct proportion of the time it takes to do something.

Same here. Replaced my MacBook Pro with an X1 Carbon last summer. Short circuiting my usual 2-year upgrade cycle and buying whatever Apple releases this fall.
The MacBook has always been mediocre hardware hyped and marketed beyond all reason. Even way back all the nonsense about unibody construction was a total myth, Thinkpads were even more durable but didnt have the hype.

Apple knows they will keep selling these things due to the brand image.

Open source STM32 board and security key
Ah ! When I saw some time ago that there were useable x86_64-to-llvm lifters and rewriters (was it from Trail of Bits also ?) I wondered how hard it would be to plug with KLEE. Good for Trail of Bits !

(off topic: your blog articles and tech are very inspiring. The deepstate paper, articles and slides made me rethink the whole test pipeline of my applications, from manual oracle-based or model-based tests, to PBT, to fuzzing, to Symbolic/Concolic execution...).

By the way I thought remill and mcsema required IDA ?

Back on topic: One of the reasons I asked about industrial use, is that almost everyone in the security community (that works on SE) seems focused on reverse engineering executables. While I understand the interest and the importance of this part (being able to work on binary code without the source code) I think it's an adversarial view of the topic of Symbolic Execution. It's really hard working precisely on binary code, even if you disable optimizations...

Well, what if I have the source code and want to use SE ? Couldn't I be more precise/efficient ? I'm guessing I'm stuck with KLEE if I'm working in C/C++, and to write an frontend to llvm for Ada stuff...
Like every political push, the intent was noble. But it only gains legs when some entrenched interest can profit.
Another poor analogy. The differences between oil, coal and wood are the results of differences in their chemical structures which have immense implications regarding their individual utility. By comparison, Facebook is not producing "oil" while others are producing "wood", the communication offerings are practically identical in terms of functionality and utility (send text and images to other people), the only meaningful differences are a function of the individual not the company. If everyone I know uses Discord to communicate then Facebook is as good as "wood" to Discord's "oil".

I was putting the repair off until I was sure that I could get it done quickly. They told me that they’re not yet quoting 24 hours, but they do do them in store now, and they typically quote 3 days or so.

If you look on their web site for Mathematica[1] it has several bullet points that includes the Wolfram Engine. One of the other separate points is "Wolfram Algorithmbase"[2], so presumably all those algorithms are not part of the engine and only available if you buy full Mathematica.

The industry is really small, more so in other parts of the world such as Buenos Aires. The 'scene', people who actually leave their keyboards or don't engage outside of 9-to-5 is even smaller.

Many things were learned. More research was probably warranted. Also, it's not the same to organize a conference for an existing community organized around some technology, e.g. Ruby, Python, NodeJS, etc and organizing an event that tries to span industry topics, it's much harder to know everyone or get references.
