That the hypothetical case of OS piracy was false, explicitly acknowledged by the creator of the OS in question.

Microsoft's DRM on their own software is quite intentionally weak. Enforcement via audits (through its proxy arm, the BSA, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BSA_(The_Software_Alliance)), has been the preferred method.
According to the article, demand for the Mac Pro tapered off years ago, and they were down to "a skeleton crew". The original plant opening had some kind of tax deal for "up to 500 jobs", so even at peak it was not making a huge difference. Texas supposedly has a 3.8% unemployment rate right now, so there is apparently a lot of work available. I like Apple, but assembling the Mac Pro in Texas was overrated.
They are starting to clamp down on the censorship of their platform and it will only get worse i.e. naughty words aren't allowed on discord (though it isn't policed that throughly). A friend of mine had one of our discord servers banned for "hate speech" even though we banned the individuals that made the posts and some of our members were banned simply for being on the same server.

People signed up for accounts again with a different email but it besides the point really. The problem with almost all of these companies is that there is no straight forward TOS.

So for example this is my rules on my board:

> 1. Don't harass people.
> 2. No doxing.
> 3. Unless a board is marked NSFW avoid posting anything NSFW.
> 4. Don't be abusive for the sake of it.
> 5. Don't Spam.

Now I am sure I will have to amend those at some point but they are straight forward and I intend to keep it that way. I am developing a youtube/twitch/reddit hybrid, I believe the comments on youtube are soo dire because fundamentally their commenting system is dire. I intend to keep that pretty much free-speech with almost no algorithms because I am fed up of things being manipulated constantly to the point where Youtube has kinda broken itself (about 3 years ago it was amazing for finding video of stuff). The same with Google search has got worse over the last few years because they are messing too much with the algorithm.

Slightly aside. I am looking at a client for IRC that is easy to use and Discord-esque features. I believe it is possible to do a lot of this by simply getting the client itself to do a lot of the heavy lifting and using IRC more as a message broker. The thing is what do I build it in. One of the things I hate about Discord is Electron. It application is garbage on a mac and the web version performs better. Python's GUI tools are dire, so I am left really going to the C# or god forbid Java. I dunno enough about C++ to make a client in that and the other options are too esoteric tbh.
Well, what exactly is the argument for US stability, at this point? If it's anything other than our track record, I'd be interested to hear. We have gone nuts.

Manual tagging is the best way for most projects to do stuff like sign the package using an offline hardware key.

Putting your keys on CI makes you vulnerable to your CI being hacked, which anecdotally seems to have happened to several projects.
Yeah. I remember thinking the same thing about microblogging and photo sharing. :-(
in 10 years that's a $1m. Even if you bought a mac pro every year that's not particularly significant. Of course, it is a lot of money by itself and if you are smart about it you can save a lot, but the value is there for other people in not building a custom PC with cooling.
Who buys a new computer every year? That’s just silly and a waste of money.
The only thing in your statement that provides evidence of instability is your arbitrary inclusion of the adjective "desperately" to describe China's actions.

All governments work towards stability in their own ways. I don't see desperation in Chinese strategy, but I do see a lot of energy.
Code quality of the service they were offering:
It's improved a little recently but search is still bad, the shared document function was very buggy and made material disappear. General bugs and niggles in past.
Agreed. The only thing that mitigated this is that larger screens naturally made us more prone to having a bunch of windows open on a screen. Back in the 1024x768 days, not being able to maximize a window on Mac was ridiculous. "Full screen" view is/was a terrible "solution" to this.

The fact that windows can't be "snapped" like on Windows is so frustrating. (Yes, I know there are 3rd party apps for this.)
That is not "the best tech", that's the best materials to make tech.
You left out b) vendor has the keys stolen or leaked by a disgruntled employee and now the encryption is useless.

That's the problem with all these systems, you're increasing the size of the attack surface enormously.
Depending on what the use case is, (for me it's note taking, bit of math/equations, code snippets)

- Joplin Editor is nice (due to KaTeX), "cloud" syncing can be made to work, iCloud not supported though

- Quiver https://happenapps.com/ , is paid, but math/equations are supported via MathJax, iCloud is supported

Currently, Joplin works for me but Quiver is overall better.
How does a company pandering to a consumer group have anything to do with the civil rights struggle of that group?

How am I, as a gay man, responsible for the fact that companies see Pride as a valuable advertising angle? I don't know a single LGBT person that is happy about it, other than it means that society doesn't ACTIVELY, VIOLENTLY HATE US ANYMORE.

>I have actually had many people from different walks of life mention this in the last month, people are taking note.

Ah yeah, Uber made the route a rainbow color, so fuck the people who would like to have basic civil protections from being fired for who they love. I love the absolutely non-existent logic of anti-gay idiots.
Having lived in Dubai for the last 6 years - believe me there is nothing dry about the summer heat here. 45c and over 90% humidity regularly.

This sort of system simply encourages the formation of feuding power blocs. And woe be to those who refuse to join one of those cliques. Finally, if you can be "voted off the island", are you really an owner? IMO, you are not.

Its unfortunate how many people are using the word "Climate" in their replies here. When Trump says "Its cold out, global warming is fake" we rightly say that it's Weather, not Climate. That's what this is too.

Global warming may be responsible to some degree, but we can't have it both ways. Language is important.

> no audio / video

There are products that are far better for audio and video communication than Slack. At my company, we use Zoom.

> no history

Can be done with a bouncer if you need it.

> no rich features like links, pictures, upload docs ect

Is there a reason why an external service can't be used? I can't upload a image here on Hacker News, but I can always include a link to it.

> easy bot integration with APIs

So I have to use the HTTP protocol to manage a bot rather than checking for certain key words in the message itself.

> no archiving channels on the go, Slack is very useful when you have an incident and you create a temp channel and then archive it when the incident is closed.

That depends on the settings. One thing that happens every so often at work is that people get trapped as the last remaining person in a channel because only an administrator can archive a channel. In IRC, that's not an issue.
> time as a first class citizen

It's worth noting that time now has two levels of meaning in this context - transaction time and valid time.

>Anyone arguing otherwise is motivated by something other than facts, history, logic.

Its easier to ask, rather than assume.
This is false.

Ad hominem refers to dismissing an argument out of hand based on the source. In this case, people are willing to engage with the argument, but are additionally pointing out the bias inherent in the source. This is not ad hominem, just a bias warning.
The US supports plenty of undemocratic regimes and has toppled democratic ones. US global policy rewards subservience to the US economy more than anything (which I'd hardly call "free" trade).
>I want to be able to have a finger on a physical button that doesn't detect any touch movements when dragging something.

But dragging works exactly the same as it does when you have a physical button. You press down with one finger and make the dragging motion with another. You can click and drag with a single finger if you want to (as I've just discovered - never occurred to me to do it that way), but you don't have to.

It's not that a note app can't be successful, but clearly not with SV style funding and expectations.
> that isn't a good reason to remove the option to do so for everyone else

It really is. Accepting the status quo and abandoning progress is how software systems become stagnant and die. X is a bloated protocol, designed for a different age of computers. Sys V is an archaic system that makes the task of having a standard daemon run in a standard way surprisingly difficult (and also prevents parallelising startup). I'm not saying the replacements are perfect, but at least we're trying.

Maintaining perfect backwards compatibility would have an effect on progress somewhere between 'making it harder' and 'making it impossible'. Not that backwards compatibility should be completely abandoned. See XWayland, and also the fact that SystemD does still execute init.d shell scripts.
Salesforce and Tableau: A Resurgence of Barber Surgery?
In practice, this happens frequently. We've seen this happen with TLS certificate authorities and with DRM solutions.
The failure is that start up founders and investors fail to recognize that revenue is your KPI to optimize for in the long run, with a goal of making a profit in the not so distant future. Business is not a social network, and success isn't measured by how many friends/users/downloads you have. Money is the bottom line.

Of course if you give something away for free or sell it cheap enough at a loss, you'll get a lot of "customers". I could do the same by opening a free taco stand on the street. But it is in no way a sustainable business model.
To summarize (as I had considerable trouble wading through the huge, vague articles on this proceeding), hopefully accurately:

The logic is that she committed manslaughter by dragging the infant-to-be into a violent confrontation that she started, and which she escalated to the point that force was justified in defense against her (that part seems to be considered established). Like if you involved yourself in a high speed chase with an infant in the car, and that infant died in the proceedings, you would likely be guilty of manslaughter (in Alabama and some other places).
>Nucor is nearly worth more than ArcelorMittal.

No, it isn't. One share of Nucor costs more than one share of MT. This comparison isn't even in the ballpark of the correct way to compare two companies' worths. Nucor has 1/4th of the revenue and 1/5th of the production.

> We can either have a healthy, strong domestic steel industry, or we can do nothing and watch China put it into the ground through dumping and massive state subsidies

Steel is an intermediate product. No one buys steel as the final product. Changes in price of steel ripple across other industries for this reason. Steel makes up 2% of world trade and steel manufacturers provide the US with 81000 jobs, while our total manufacturers employ 12 million. On the chip manufacturing side, Intel alone employees over 100 thousand. It's more important to consider what the effects of tarriffs are on other parts of the economy than jerking around a little bit of revenue or job growth in a small specific US industry.

Also, China produces 10x more steel than the US, and is the largest consumer of steel. It makes sense - they're building out infrastructure at a really fast pace.

How many other industries will be hurt in exchange for a "healthy, strong" (whatever hard numbers, if any, those words are actually meant to convey) domestic steel industry? That is all that matters.
How does this make any sense? If they’re going to press charges for the shooting of an unborn baby (which isn’t new - the charge is manslaughter), the person who pulled the trigger ought to be the one charged.

Because hacking is illegal in most jurisdictions.

Exploiting probably isn't illegal, but as soon as you begin to use these exploits against other people to access their data it is illegal. So selling the exploit or performing it for clients would mean assisting someone in breaking the law.

They probably aren't going to get in trouble since their clients are often government agencies themselves.
> shell ... Just not a useful enough set

chsh - change login shell

DESCRIPTION
The chsh command changes the user login shell.

If you don't like the features of your shell, use a different shell.

> you don't still need ... "awk" and "sed" and "grep"

I don't need those programs - there are many other ways to solve most problems. I want to use them because they are both fast to start and execute, and make development time extremely fast.

> You too are blinded by the limitations of your tools.

You appear to be trying to use the shell for tasks that that should be done in a different language. You also don't seem to understand that some of use use the shell because discovered it was a much faster and easier to use tool for some problems than the other methods we've tried. For some tasks, complaining about the overhead to do some things like floating point or trivialities like the <100ms it takes to fork and run bc is a premature optimization.

If you don't find shell to be a useful tool for the problems you need to solve, that's fine; use whatever tool works best for you. We might be trying to solve different problems. Just because you don't like a particular tool doesn't mean it's "ridiculous".
Don't mix the Linux kernel with POSIX.

Microsoft is only caring about Linux to the extent that Linux kernel ABI nowadays is more relevant than POSIX.

EVERY time I'm aware of in the past that there were claims that O'Keefe and Veritas had swayed the story by editing, the unedited video has proven to be exactly what they claimed. I'm convinced they now do this two-stage release (hard-hitting excerpts, then full, unedited video) as much to protect themselves against this very predictable charge as for any other reason...
> if police work becomes effectively impossible, what's the point of having detectives?

Police work has become lazy and they'll have to go back to finding evidence they can access

For more detail on this, look at the musings of the 98th Congress during the 1980s who really speculated on what privacy would mean once everyone's files were digital. The period of digital files without encryption made it convenient for the governments to circumvent privacy protections. This convenience is being removed. Warrant or no warrant.
I would love to see the Tim Cook VS Current Admin war that would happen though. After the FBI vs Apple war that happened with hard device encryption an iMessage encryption battle would be epic and I wonder just how far they would take it if they got hard-lined under the current conservative 'Silicon valley is trying to censor us' reparations.

If Apple were somehow forced to drop e2e encryption I would honestly expect Tim Cook to step down and run for president. He has an incredibly hardcore political side.
Do you say that because they might still use your posted material?

Or is there some other reason?
pnongrata is arguing that voting is worthless. I'm honestly trying to understand their position, but so far having no success. Seems to me that we absolutely should be electing leaders with political positions that match what we desire to see in our society.
Around 2010, I was chatting with a colleague about them. Even then, he was talking about how its "current incarnation." It sounded like back in the day, it was a bunch of Russian handwriting recognition experts, and they built a company around that.
Running multiple processes doesn’t solve the head of line blocking problem where a single large request causes all the small requests behind it to pile up increasing their latency too. When you have thread pools this is not a problem as each request is processed by the next available worker.

JS has nice fast runtimes, and crucially the ability to share code between client and server. I think there’s potential (even without threads) to have a JS server architecture that does not require the entirety of a request/response to be processed in a single thread but could break it up so it could be processed by a pool of workers at IO event boundaries. Either as one isolate per request or explicitly passing state for IO event callbacks.
If my memory serves correctly, it was protected right up until Phil Zimmerman circumvented them by writing a book containing the source code for PGP and winning the case based upon the argument that the book was protected by his constitutional right to freedom of speech(?)

Unfortunately, you can't put the cat back in the bag. It's no good putting export restrictions on encryption when the tightest encryption we have at present is already available all round the world.

Primer: The design system that powers GitHub
Further to this point, there is this story from earlier in the year regarding the problems Apple had just sourcing screws for the 2013 Mac Pro (trash can) in the USA:

"He made do with his new machines, although he could not make the exact screws Apple wanted. His company delivered 28,000 screws over 22 trips. Mr. Melo often made the one-hour drive himself in his Lexus sedan."

The cruel bit here is that installing air conditioners substantially increases the per-capita carbon footprint which in turn will lead to a further greenhouse effect. It's a positive feedback loop with many components.
I think "basically" may be an understatement. With OSM you get "only" (or "as much as") data. The rest of the stack is up to you - whether you use some ready-made open source solution or roll your own.
Some farmers voice this same concern in Spain. They also have more extreme events destroying their fields (more hail, new insects). They seem worried, although it's true that I only have access to a little subset of them.

Anyone who is in favor of this banning of encryption should have to hand over their unlocked mobile device to anyone that asks. The "I have nothing to hide" perspective doesn't hold when people think about it more personally. These things are very much about who will watch the watchers?
Swift 5: Value vs. Reference Types
Gruber spends more time doing his commentary on The Talk Show podcast and less on his blog. He's been consistently critical over the last few years; I too used to think he was a bit too favorable based on his writing, but since I started listening to his podcast, it's clear that he's much better at communicating orally.
No, that's not your sincerely held belief. But you're overthinking it. This is covered by freedom of speech.

I can only comment on the first two subjects in the second link, but they look like standard graduate level coursework questions. The standard here and the standard of special topics questions Terrance Tao was asked seem quite different.
Aside from features:

I have seen enough corporate mail servers going down, irc and jabber servers breaking etc.

Using those won't magically give you 24/7 with more than five nines uptime.

Key difference is: If slack goes down many companies are affected and it goes on the internet. If a company's mail setup goes down employees are a bit annoyed, but after a while it works again and nobody outside notices and it's no news on HN (unless it's a real major thing bringing a notable company completely down)
This is actually an awesome illustration of why a lot of famous results in academic finance were wrong in the 70s and 80s. Returns don't average, they multiply. If you get HHTT or TTHH you're in terrible shape:

2.25 * .36 = .36 * 2.25 = .81

You started with $1 and now have 81 cents. I recently learned that a lot of early computer-era academic finance actually made the same error of averaging returns, as described in Finding Alpha:
