Yes, I'm the same about typing with pain!

The thing is you have to type differently on it -- no more banging down your fingers as you might be used to, just a very light touch that, once you get the hang of it, feels so much more graceful and civilized -- and no longer any strain in my wrists.

But I think a lot of people either don't realize they need to change the way they type physically, or are resistant to it. It takes a couple days to change your habits like that.

Tip: if you're one of the people complaining about the butterfly keyboards being loud... they aren't if you use less force.
String Coding Problems from Programming Job Interviews
It would be kind of amusing if that was the beginning of the end of the duopoly and the rise of Comac as a third player.

What a crazy world where Walmart is the underdog. Two vicious monopolistic predators battling for ultimate pricing power.
The other commenters are saying 表姐 because it was originally "Elder", not "Younger". The moderators decided to change it and break all the discussions.
How is "little movement required" a good thing though? Having a healthy amount of key travel makes typing a lot more comfortable. I'm not impressed by thinness either. Laptops are thin enough to be functional. When Apple says "our new keyboard design is 40% thinner" it's a non sequitur. The question should be whether it's better, not whether it's thinner. That should attract ridicule like if an energy drink advertised: "Our formula is now 11% more dense!" Like, I'm sure their flavor scientists are aware of the density but that's a random and bizarre data point to be bragging about publicly.
Wow it's just a survey. That's so non obvious. Boooo, kind of.
Yes, not everyone needs to need to invent the future to enjoy it. A few rogue engineers are enough.
Maybe older models are different but I've driven both pre and post bumper redesign Model Ss and a Model 3. In all three Double-tap is for the emergency brake. Single tap on the control stalk parks the car.

> That’s newish, embarrassingly.

Newish? It's always been there to me and to anyone buying a vehicle after it's introduction, whenever that was years ago.

How many other automakers add new functionality to their vehicles years after purchase?

> And sorry, but a little tough target in a corner of the screen is nowhere near as ergonomic as a button you can feel.

A dedicated physical button is always easier to locate/use but adds unnecessary clutter when there is a button for everything.

I personally have never longed for the button as the only time I recall using it in other cars is to lock my partner out of the car just as they try to open it.
What is more worrying for Boeing is that a SW fix might not be that easy to implement.

According to that article [0], the fix is running too slowly on the Flight Control Computers, that are based on a 80286 architecture.

I am not sure how reliable this info is, and that should not be surprising given the cost of verification or certification of an aircraft, but I am still surprised that a 2019 plane, has still some HW and SW from the 1980ies.

Edit : There are actually more details in Wikipedia [1]

>In June 2019, "in a special Boeing simulator that is designed for engineering reviews"[75], FAA pilots performed a stress testing scenario – an abnormal condition identified through FMEA after the MCAS update was implemented[76] – for evaluating the effect of a fault in a microprocessor: as expected from the scenario, the horizontal stabilizer pointed the nose downward. Although the test pilot ultimately recovered control, the system was slow to respond to the proper runaway stabilizer checklist steps, due to an 80286[77] microprocessor being overwhelmed with data. The FAA characterized the slow responsiveness as "catastrophic", whereas Boeing initially classified it as "major". The solution appears to consist in rerouting data across multiple chips. Boeing stated that the issue can be fixed in software.[78] The software change will not be ready for evaluation until at least September 2019.[79] Boeing also said that it agreed with additional requirements that the FAA required it to fulfill, and added that it was working toward resolving the safety risk. It will not offer the MAX for certification until all requirements have been satisfied.[80]

Sure but surely the point of the windows headers is to define the public interface. This has been made more explicit with Microsoft's ApiSet Contracts, which defines a more minimal set of function definitions grouped into sets like "api-ms-win-core-console-l3".
Improve Your Mindset, Build Strength, and Make a Living Doing What You Love
Here's the first-principles argument: Most people grow up and learn the language in a family group, which has a mix of ages and of sexes. Saying "he" vs "she" here usually cuts the number of people you could be talking about in half, it's very informative, one bit! It will often let you omit the name, or shorten the sentence elsewhere.

Whereas always marking what continent you're all living on, or what race you all are, usually doesn't convey any information. So it seems entirely unsurprising that languages tend not to build this in. Many do build in markers for what species, because again this was useful information, since most of our ancestors spent a long time farming.
I recently created a zip validator and decoder for scanning email attachments, @ronomon/zip.

It's not yet open-sourced but it has defenses against excessive compression ratios, mismatching local and central directory headers, ambiguous filenames, directory traversals and symlink traversals, and anything ambiguous that could exploit differences in zip implementations, e.g. some zip implementations decode from the front while others decode from the back. Most importantly, it balks at deviations from the zip format, including any kind of overlapping or sparseness, buffer bleeds etc.

At least it detected all three of the author's samples as malicious.

I remember being so excited when the zip format came out. Prior to zip, we suffered with the arc format. At 2400 baud, the difference in compression was very very significant.
I'm conflicted about the power adapter. I miss Magsafe. But I don't miss paying ~$80 when I (admittedly, stupidly) forget my charger on a trip. I can buy a $30 USB power brick, and then a USB C extension cable for a couple of dollars if I need a longer cable.

My dream is a Magsafe cable. USB C on both ends, magnetic connector in the middle (or near one end). Best of both worlds. But Apple wouldn't be able to charge $80 for that.
My point is that Bitcoin users will not pay transaction fees that are anything close to the current mining reward that is subsidized by inflation of the Bitcoin money supply. Therefore when the subsidy inevitably falls, so will the total income of all Bitcoin miners. And in the long term Bitcoin miners collectively cannot afford to buy more electricity than their total income, therefore their electricity consumption will also fall.
Best era ever, have the same one. For ~120 bucks you can get a fresh battery, too.
So his argument is that he charges rich urban people for their own good because they are too spoilt to attend the program in bare minimum conditions in rural settings and they only commit when they have to spend money. I suppose he thinks rich people take only rich gurus seriously.

It falls flat when you consider, to name just one example, Vipassana courses that are 100% free and taken very seriously by all participants. Nobody is walking in and out of those courses. The teachers are volunteers who are neither rich nor famous. It doesn’t lessen the seriousness of the participants.

Edit: if there is any doubt Isha is a cult, please read the comments on the very page you have linked. Upselling more expensive seats, claiming “my master” ought to charge one a lifetime’s income or “1 child” to listen to his words.

It's one of their trial site things; I doubt they expect people to go directly to it from HN, they expect people to know that these products don't actually exist yet.
Its so heartbreaking to read this.

And the worse part is that this is the culture that the education system promotes from a very early age.

I have seen 6th graders divided into tribes based on how well they perform on specialised tests that are essentially tickets to high paying corporate firms.

Instead of focusing on teaching kids the value, importance and the beauty of STEM, we're teaching them how to game a stupid test and get ahead in a rat race. No wonder you get such a tribal mindset out of all this!

And the scale is absolutely HUGE. We have around half a million students actively preparing for this specialised test, which in practice involves literally leaving school education for at least 2-3 years to prepare for this monstrosity exclusively.

There's literally a whole city dedicated to tuitions for this one goddamn test.

Just recently India removed the need for publishing Ph.D thesis to get a degree because most of the research was just republication of already published research, after slight modification.

And It's only getting worse with politicians getting into this game, and literally manipulating children's textbooks, making an already broken education system into a net negative for society :/
I knew someone who told me his wife stopped at their mailbox to pick up mail and neglected to put their Mercedes in park when she opened the door. The car, while idling ran over (some part of) her! I'm not sure how hurt she was, but I've met her and she seems just fine now.

He claims that because of this incident (and I suspect others like it) in new Mercedes opening a door automatically puts the car in park.
:D That's a silly argument. That doesn't make them human beings. A bottle does not become water if you fill it with with water.
On invoice? What invoice?

When I order from a third-party seller, there's no guarantee there's any invoice?

If they ship directly, sometimes it comes with a kind of paper receipt, sometimes it doesn't.

If they fulfill via Amazon, it definitely doesn't. I don't think I've gotten a receipt/invoice with any Amazon package in years... (I remember it used to come with them.)

And I click through my online order and click on the name of the seller, it just has tabs with things like generic shipping and return policies. I can't find any legal or contact info whatsoever beyond the name.
It's a good thing there aren't more monopolistic retailers vigorously battling each other in the market...
They will take my T520 from my cold, dead hands. That was the last one that came with an actually useful keyboard...

facepalm this is even better.
Let's not forget where the two max's crashed. Ethiopia and Indonesia. Some bean counters already decided the value of a life in these, "shit hole countries." I wouldn't be surprised if they literally took the cost of living index in the US and compared it to these countries and proudly patted themselves on this back when they came up with this amazing cost savings... I hope the individuals, airlines and the countries themselves find a way to sue Boeing into the ground.

Oh? Which country would be able to successfully invade the US if we didn’t have cutting edge aircraft?
I recently bought a MBP, my first ever Mac, and it is absolutely amazing. Smooth, fast, secure, and the trackpad is an incredible experience. My only significant complaint I have of it is the keyboard.

If Apple replaces only the keyboard, the MBP is the undisputed best laptop available today.
The headers themselves are under copyright, of course, but the definitions inside them can be copied/reused for interoperability reasons (something that is especially protected in EU but i think also in US). So while you cannot distribute the header files, you can write your own parser that generates new header files (for C or any other language) that are compatible with the Microsoft header files as long as they aren't the same.

Of course IANAL but AFAIK this is what several projects (especially compilers and interpreters) that need to hook with other APIs are already doing.
You cant keep everyone happy and I personally love having 4 USB-c ports, with any one of them supporting power to the mac adapter (with any 3rd party cable).

I have an external UCB-C 1TB M.2 and last night it transferred an entire 50gb directory of movies in <1-2 minutes to my MacBook Pro.

Amazon sells USB-A to USB-C converters that’s the size of a tip of an old USB-A and they work great. I have 4 of them and use them less and less as more of my external products are USB-C. The 3rd party parts market always responds in kind, just don't be a first year adopter and you'll be fine.

I’ll Give You My Encryption Key When You Pry It from My Cold, Dead Hands
This whole article sounds like a hit piece against Indians. "I can personally vouch that your average Indian IT engineer is very ethnocentric, clannish, and completely unamerican in every sense of the word", ...., sounds legitimate. I've worked in many IT departments all over America. Yes there were many Indians who worked there, but i don't think the reasons for this is as nefarious as this article makes it sound. In general when i was working for a small company, like 80% of the resume we got were Indians (Just by pure % alone, we would have had to hire an Indian). Do people of same ethnic groups show a unconscious bias for people of their kin ? Yes, but you will find this among any group of people. Wasn't there an experiment where a White(Anglo) sounding name got more callbacks for a job interview than a black sounding name? In my experience, there was no Brahamin sitting up top as an overlord, and the Indians i met were like any other group I've met, most were decent, hard working, intelligent people.
German companies are bitching forever now that there are no workers available for them. I read that in news every other week.
I love mad magazine despite being born in the 1980s–I bought old copies from comic shops and the paperbacks were easy to find at used book stores. I even bought the cd-rom box-set with the entire archives at one point! My kids now read my old mad books and magazines.

That said, I think it's good that they're packing it in. All good things must end some day, and Mad Magazine has been past its prime for some time now. As other commenters suggest, the context in which Mad was revolutionary & cutting has long past & its style of irreverence is now almost ubiquitous.

But I can't say I won't miss the furshlugginer thing!
Nah, he has no idea what he's speaking about.

It's not _just_ humidity. Rain just simply can't exist at -15C, so you can't get your clothes moist because it can only snow, and that snow is cold enough not to stick to you at all.

I am not even going to start on the fact that you can walk miles of snow and not get wet, while walking through miles of slush... Well, I hope you understand the distinction.
USB-C has lots of advantages, but it took 2-3 dark years before we started seeing commonly available peripherals that take advantage of the built-in protocols such as driver-less USB-C Ethernet adapters. I think USB-C on the iPad Pro and various phones has done more to turn USB-C into a viable standard than putting it on the laptops, since pros would obviously prefer existing and new Thunderbolt devices to USB-C devices. They could have moved iPhone/iPad to USB-C and used the MFI program to encourage USB-C for three years there, while adding USB-C support in a backwards-compatible way to their existing laptops. I would have been happy if they simply left me an HDMI port. As much as I want AirPlay everywhere, it's only in 2019 that we can buy a TV with AirPlay and make truly wireless/dongle-less Mac connections possible, which was the dream with Miracast on Windows/Android and the reality for many years with Chromecast.

Also, Magsafe might have come off easily, but every time it did, I went "oh, that is a nice feature!" I never once complained that I couldn't charge my laptop with it, the battery would die before the magsafe adapter would. Plus, why did Apple remove functionality from their power cords, forcing you to buy all the cables for the power cord separately? There were so many downgrades to the MacBook Pro, I wonder why I stuck with it... (Frankly, Windows was just that bad at the time. It's since improved, so maybe that'll light a fire under Apple a bit.)
>> I hope that we soon have some reasonable supply chain of non-vertebrate protein (i.e. insects) at an affordable price.

If insetcs ever become a staple protein source, you can rest assured that they will be consumed by all the poor people. Rich people will keep eating as much beef as they please.

So I think that what you are proposing, in good will I have no doubt, is not a solution to the problem of feeding many people healthy and nutritious food. It's one more way to disenfranchise and humiliate the majority of the population, by throwing them scraps.

At the same time, perfectly good food goes to waste because market forces, rather than any taboo about consuming certain types of food, demand it.
>The dongles and USB-C are a mess

No, they are not. People have been saying the same when Apple killed NuBus, SCSI, serial, the old iPod adapter... USB-C is leaps better than old USB and is here to stay.

I wish Dell had an XPS 13 with 2x USB-C Thunderbolt.
I’m a tiny bit upset. I really liked the keys becoming lower profile. I don’t get any joy out of expending extra energy depressing buttons. For example, mechanical keyboards give me extreme RSI wrist pain from straining to push down all of the switches. Secretly I was hoping Apple would create a haptic capacitive touch keyboard with a display behind it.

I just answered some personal work style questions for a software engineer job interview a few weeks back. Would have been interesting to see how I fit in with the already existing team in the company. Not sure if it would give me anything more than a good interview with the current team members but having a point of comparison for my preferred working style would have made it more valuable to me.
I get your snark at my use of monopoly for two companies but think about it. One has a monopoly on physical retail in most of America. The other has a monopoly over most e-commerce. Which ever wins will have a true monopoly over commerce in general. Scary. And not “free market” capitalism.
I've not had YouTube around when I was learning karate, so I don't know if I'd be using it if I was learning karate now. However, I did use it to learn some dance moves, and although I was just sitting in my chair and watching it, it did help a lot with many "aha" moments and practiced them later. Sure, there is a lot of crap on there, but I can filter that myself. Things in karate that you could just learn by watching without much training are pressure points and how to get out of someone's hold. The other stuff needs training (especially conditioning), but a good video can give you directions for how to do it.
This is an interesting snapshot of how racism seemed to be viewed at the time. Reading this I get the impression that bemoaning black women's hair seemed to be A-OK as long as you called her "african american". Can you imagine the recall that would happen today if this leaked out?
>Barnes and Noble probably needs to realize it’s core value is the in store experience of leisurely browsing at a kind of “third place” away from home/work.

Being a place to wander around and browse but never purchase the merchandise is not a "core value" any retailer wants to have. Barnes and Noble is not a home away from home, it's a store, no different than any other. You're meant to buy something and get out.
It's more "stops you appearing on Shodan" level. But surely if you can reduce the traffic then you are more likely to notice proper attacks.

So looking at SAMDcaliper.py I see that you just print these numbers as on US keyboard layout. That has two major problems:

1. If user's computer has a different keyboard layout that will enter garbage instead of numbers. For example, in Russian keyboard layouts there is usually a letter "ю" on the key which is used for dot on US keyboards, so instead of 7.31 you will get 7ю31.

2. Excel accepts numbers only if they are entered with a proper decimal separator which depends on Windows number format settings which are part of regional settings. So for example in Russia (and apparently most of the world: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:DecimalSeparator.svg) decimal separator is comma instead of dot, so even if user would switch to US keyboard layout Excel will not accept the numbers with decimal dots, it will think that they are just strings.

Both problems can be solved by using numpad keys instead: they are the same in all keyboard layouts and KEYPAD_PERIOD key will enter a proper decimal separator for Excel to accept.

What a crazy world where retailers have such power. At this point, retail should be a boring and solved problem. The true power should be with producers and consumers.
Well, you can put some borders between buttons. I'm not suggesting on fully reconfigurable keyboard, while that would be interesting, I don't think that it's strictly needed. Physical keyboard layouts are static and that's OK. But the ability to display different labels on buttons might be handly. For example every Russian uses two layouts: English and Russian layout. Russian keyboards have both letters printed, usually with different colour. Now displaying correct letter on each key when user switches layouts, would be an improvement over current situation.
