What is simple in rsync is the idea of synchronising stuff from A to B. That is all it does in all the cases you mentioned.

It is hard to emulate what rsync does with archive mode enabled, which speeds up transfers, so tar isn't exactly a replacement for rsync.

There are better ways to show progress, for example using the flag `--info=progress2`. It doesn't behave well in automated scripts though
Sure. People still write code you know.

And all their Macs work for development.

Yes they work, of course, but at this point Apple is powerful and dominant. Apple doesn't need to court developers like us anymore. At this point, many of us are stuck with them.

This is what libraries are great for. Kids will get bored reading a book they're not interested in just like adults would. My son was very picky about what he wanted to read and rarely enjoyed the books that I picked out for him. So every week we'd go to the library where he could pick from 1000s of books about literally any subject he wanted to learn. Once he was ready for chapter books we got him a kindle which has an even bigger library. Reading is now his goto activity before bed and during long car rides.

I believe I was around 18 when I heard of Ross Perot. At the time I had been impressed by the charts and no-nonsense approach, although now I realize I could not have judged their content with any actual knowledge. As I know a lot more about the world now, about debt, fiat currencies, and inflation, etc, and how charts can be constructed to not represent reality but one's agenda, beliefs, or misconceptions, I wonder now the extent to which Ross Perot's charts and message were insightful, or merely propagated myths and value-choices. Were his charts deficit hawk debt clocks and scare tactics, or were there real insights that reflected reality? I do not remember now because I did not understand them then. Anyone on HN have an opinion?
Haha figured I’d get in early with a hard question. I signed up a long time ago out of curiosity, it’s been a while since then, looking forward to trying it out
agree - voting system is only 1/2 of the pie - the other piece being the actual governmental structure.. when parties not candidates are voted for, and coalitions have to be formed, the need to heavily fund 'magical individuals' is less, and the need to compromise between parties and meet people directly on their own terms increases..

> I found google docs and other web apps quickly consumed my 8gb memory. But, if you don't mind closing tabs and being mindful of running programs you can get by with 8.

I gather you're using Chrome? Safari seems to "do this for you" in a sometimes frustrating way. Similar to the iPhone, Safari on the desktop seems to aggressively unload webpages when they're not focused. This means large Google Docs get reloaded every time you switch windows. I haven't used Firefox heavily for this kind of work, but it seems to behave better than both.

Chrome with to wrong tabs open can absolutely murder your battery life, too.

> And yes, FreeBSD replaces Linux easily.

No, it doesn’t. Take any non trivial system running Linux and try to run it in FreeBSD. You may get it running in little time, however the number of issues you would have would be big.

Remember that the modern stack have multiple layers of complexity, Linux, your app, SomethingSQL, AnotherThingDb, Kubernetes, AWS/GCE/Azure, etc. Since FreeBSD is not the common choice to run those things you will probably hit a issue here, another issue there, a combination of issue in one layer with another, etc.

Yeah, this may say more about our current systems than anything, however to say that it is easy to substitute Linux with FreeBSD is simply not true.

Your gut biome also has an effect. I couldn't tell which made more difference because I did both at the same time, moving away from processed foods, removing sugar wherever I could, and cooking from primary ingredients.

Very interested in this GUI for rsync that you wrote (for obvious reasons) ... one thing that jumps out at me right away is that none of your examples show a remote in the form of user@host:path ... I also did a text search of your page for "ssh" and it is not mentioned ...

Does your GUI have the ability to specify a remote in the form of user@host:path ?

This gets a bit complicated - not only do you need to allow password interaction with ssh but further, upon initial connection, you'll be presented with a host key dialog and need to confirm the key fingerprint, etc.

There are a lot of advantages that a small privately owned bank might have over large giants. For example:

* Banking based on reputation - sometimes you know that someone is trustworthy and good for the money, but the numbers on paper don't show it. Maybe their credit score was dinged for some reason that's easy to explain. Maybe you know their family personally. A small bank might be able to lend to people who are excluded by the big banks' algorithms.

* Big banks are under more scrutiny. That doesn't mean they don't do things with dirty money, but they are being watched more closely (I'm not accusing this particular family of shady banking practices... just noting that there is indeed a large amount of dirty money out there that flows through banks, and some banks are more willing to look the other way).

* As you said, collateralizing weird assets. Some banks might allow a thoroughbred horse as collateral. Most probably don't have the expertise to value these things and so they don't want to allow it as collateral.

electron gui for rsync when all one needs to do is read a very good man page for rsync. Sigh.

Yes, yes, it's not "intuitive". But maybe, just maybe, learning and/or teaching is just as important, and remembering "rsync -avuz [from] [to]" is really not that hard.
Before anyone thinks this (and similar) approaches are a way around the GDPR's cookie consent tracking crackdown: It's not.

The GDPR talks about online identifiers, of which cookies, IP address and fingerprints are examples. If you read any regulator's guidance carefully, you'll see they talk about "cookies and similar technologies", with just "cookies" being used alone for brevity.

To rephrase tracking of any kind is the issue, not cookies. Don't mistake the implementation for the activity.

And a 3 euro flat tax for economy is small potatoes too.

The original argument was that this would really hurt the poor. My counterargument was that flying is still a luxury, and the poor do not fly or fly frequently enough where this would actually be devastating to them.

If you have an 80 bit object, convert it to a 64 bit object, then convert it back to an 80 bit object, and you expect to drop zero bits, of course you'll run into problems. Posits can't fix these problems.

Desktop graphics cards intentionally ignore IEEE 754 rules if it allows them to squeeze out a little bit of performance. (or die space, or power consumption depending on the application) If the bad guy is drawn half a pixel out of position or if his shirt is slightly the wrong shade of red, nobody cares. But if your graphics card draws at 72 frames per second and your competitor's cards draws at 73, every publication is going to say their card is better than yours. Posits won't fix this either.

These problems you point out aren't technical problems, they're institutional ones. IMHO it's generally a bad idea to try to fix institutional problems with technical solutions, but I went try to stop you from attempting it.
How will they service open source if they stop funding its development?

The new Macbook Air is now the go-to (Mac) laptop for developers. If I were to get a new Macbook today, I would get the Air. It's now the only laptop without the touchbar, it has a Retina display, and you can get it with 16 GB of RAM. I see no reason to get a Macbook Pro at this point. Its more expensive than the air, heavier, has the awful touchbar, and 2 unnecessary USB-C ports (I've never needed more than two).
Hey ravenstine, this was 1000% the same frustrations I had with brightness and volume.

The best fix for this for me (the sliding was still a pain) has been to customize the touchbar like this:

In keyboard settings:

1. Change "Touch Bar Shows" to "Expanded Control Strip"

2. Add the 3 button volume and the 2 button brightness controls.

This setup behaves the most like the functional keys for me and has been the best at alleviating frustrations.

I still hope Apple nukes the touch bar though, it's the worst aspect of the Macbook aside from the missing I/O ports.

I should probably add that the containers API is really cool and a major thing that was added. I use it all the time from Tridactyl.
Pigeons are very sensitive to this. Apparently a survival instinct from making their home in cliff faces.

It seems to trigger a flight reflex, it makes them take off real fast. I use a high voltage arc generator to scare pigeons off my deck. The sound from the arc seems to trigger the same response. It is certainly much more effective than yelling at them or waving one's arms around.
(a) A fuse only prevents over-current based on the port's rating, not the cable's. It wouldn't help here.

(b) USB-C has several modes of operation. The thinner cables aren't under-speced in the lower-tier modes. They're perfectly fine for powering a mouse or carrying low-speed (USB 2.0 class) data. But not for charging a laptop, or other high current / data-rate uses.
Yea this is one of Apple's largest advantages as a platform, they really don't want the Macbook to fall out of favor as the developer's machine of choice.
A good example of a GUI that prepares commands is pgadmin3. Many of it's dialogs accumulate pending changes into a viewable and editable SQL buffer:

You don't have to use that feature; the "SQL" tab can be ignored, but it's almost available as the last tab of any dialog..
The question is not “Will it be fixed?” but “Why is it there In the first place?” Given that the app makes a request to zipow.com to download the new installer, the auto-reinstallation is not a bug or an issue, but an intentional and anti-consumer design decision.
"serious compute" is for servers. For programming homework, a Macbook Air is fine.
I noticed that on the Eurostar from Paris to London. Less than 30 minutes after leaving Gare du Nord it looked like I was in the Tennessee countryside. Except for the bend through Lille, it stayed that way until we entered the tunnel.
My dad voted for Perot, as did I in my school's mock election at the time. He regretted it in the end, attributing his own vote to doing nothing more than causing Bush to lose, but there's never shame in voting for who you think is the best candidate for the job.

In a nation of 300+ million people, having two realistic choices isn't remotely enough to cover everyone's viewpoint. Two parties is much easier for people with money to bribe. It's a good setup for average folks to lose in class warfare (and those of us who work, have indeed lost). Even the convenience store has more than just Pepsi and Coke.
But developers are basically more picky office professionals. I hardly see why a device made for a developer would be poorly fitting or divergent to a business person or accountant. The developer hardly demands anything as niche as the Apple Pencil. The iPad, however (“what’s a computer?”)...

“I may simply go back to Windows at home if that's the case, and will use a Windows Laptop at work if possible. Seriously, fuck Apple for this arrogance”

If only Windows was better. My home MacBook just broke after 6 years and I am looking for a replacement. At work I have Dell and Surface devices and after weighing everything I still think a new MacBook is the best of all. They are worse than the 2015 models but still better than everything else on the market once you look at hardware and OS. Just my personal opinion.

In general it seems there is a trend to making things worse for whatever reason. The new MacBooks are worse than the ones a few years ago and Windows 10 is worse than 7. They should just have added WSL, HyperV and other goodies to Windows 7 and left the UI alone and it would be a better OS.
I've known an amazon worker who worked on the amazon's choice functionality at one point- it's all algorithmic with little to no human interaction. It's also skewed towards the products amazon stands to profit the most off of, obviously.

I did all of CS grad school on an 11" Macbook Air with a Core 2 Duo. It was fine, even the machine learning class. The datasets were never big enough to be an issue; and if they had been my fallback plan was to use the lab servers instead.
For sure, I think it would be fantastic if people could just host their own sites from home. I'm just noting that the barrier to hosting is dramatically lower today than even a decade ago. So, self hosted sites are becoming viable option again, and hopefully that will lead to more decentralization.
Well, afaik English used to have 3 genders for nouns, and it died out everywhere but for third person pronouns.

There are some languages that don't have gender for pronouns, even.

Or some languages that have 2 genders for most things but 3 genders for pronouns (eg. Spanish distinguishes between este and esto because Latin distinguished between iste and istud, but most masculine/neuter contrasts of -us vs. -um did not survive their final consonants no longer being pronounced. Whether or not a language retains such a distinction can appear highly coincidental in the face of such seemingly unrelated phonetic changes.)
Personally, I think it's beautiful and poetic and adds a sense of life to an inanimate or immaterial thing.
Yes, but it's an extra expense. If you've got spare USB-C chargers you could use, it's tempting to wait.
Having chopped up quite a few USB cables to power Pi's from fixed supplies (for professional use), I can totally relate to this. Even thick 'quality' cables commonly have dinky little copper wires inside, wrapped in lots of plastic. The only cables we found that were decently made were Molex ones which cost around 10UKP each at the time (a price we were happy to pay).

There are many touch typists who've been trained to use caps lock all the time.

The touch bar (or better: the removal of Esc) is a huge regression.
