15 min ... man that's pretty low on the time scale of useful things to automate considering the complexity here.

People are going to want to make choices, someone / thing is going to need to place the order, different restaurants.... there's a lot of potential complexity if you are going to solve it yourself, and a product that fills all those gaps might be more costly or limiting than 15 minutes.
I'm with you. BetterTouchTool introduced me to some pretty cool possibilities with the Touch Bar and it's just been even more awesome as I've customized it more. On top of that, it motivated me, for some reason, to try and get DooM running on it just for shits and giggles even though it's mostly unplayable.
Agreed. I don't use them often but I made sure to program discrete volume/media/brightness controls into my keyboard.
If you buy the ticket at the wrong time yes. If you take it more often and use a BahnCard it’s not too bad either and definitely not “insanely”.
The writing was on the wall. I doubt anyone was buying the Macbook. Still, the 12 inch Macbook is one of my favorite devices that Apple has ever made. It’s unbelievably light and portable and people will have no idea what this means until they actually hold it because no other laptop has this kind of lightness/portability. This and the fanless part are the major reasons I bought it and I think the price is justified for these features alone. But I understand that people usually look for other things in laptops which can make this pricing seem ridiculous.
No. Individual managers at IBM have strong incentives to meet their own comp plan incentives, and that's it.

Can you point to any acquisition EVER where the acquired company remained "independent" for a meaningful amount of time? Or where the smaller firm retained their own culture? It doesn't happen.
Maybe it's more of an infrastructure + customer acquisition then. Or maybe it's about eliminating one of the few cloud competitors that IBM is capable of eliminating (not AWS, Azure, GCP).
Author here - happy to answer any questions!
To me, "pseudoscience" means that the approach isn't grounded in the scientific method. It's not pseudoscience to collect data to try to predict a phenomenon, even if the prediction isn't successful. That's like saying "well, we set up this experiment to test if there's a link between x and y, but when we looked at data in this one particular way, the results weren't significant so this entire field is pseudoscience."
I'm not sure. Don't want to be mean, and I'm sure building this was a great learning experience, but it seems more like and excuse to practice Electron than make rsync more usable.
I agree. We need regulations to change and that includes both taxes and subsidies which are the main topics of the article and the top comment respectively. But in order to change those things, we need political will and that political will comes from self discipline.
> I am actually surprised that short-distance flights aren't taxed more in Western Europe

It does seem the like tax is backwards. They barely tax the flights that could be replaced by rail, but have higher taxes on the ones that can't.
Well, there's probably some intimate knowledge of RH's customer base, their needs, their goals, etc., plus whatever processes RH uses to service them. It's not tech, but not all intellectual property is tech.
I'm not an aerospace engineer, so I can only repeat what I've seen in presentations. (I'm a software engineer at an aerospace research organization.)

One specific area that I recall being investigated is the ability to decouple power and thrust. That is, convert some of the power generated by the existing turbines into electricity and use that to drive an electric fan in (a) non-traditional location(s). This can have complex aerodynamic interactions that I don't really understand in detail, but the take-away is that it can reduce drag and thus overall energy required for a given flight.
Who writes and enactsn the regulation?
It's obvious to anyone that their current business models are hostile to privacy. Do they have a plan to fundamentally change the way they make money? If so, what is it?

Yes, as I said the tax is low enough to not bother most people
The Touch Bar is very sensitive and picks up accidental touches. F-keys require pressing down.

Personally, I tend to unconciously rest my hands spread out over the keyboard when I'm not typing. My thumbs are down by the space bar, and my fingers on top of the Touch Bar.

Have you been in an earthquake before? I remember sleeping during a quake and then waking up right before the main shock hit. I’m not sure what woke me up, it could’ve been a preliminary shock, but I very vividly remember being jolted awake right before the earthquake wave hit. It’s entirely possible that an electromagnetic wave precedes a shock, but it’s unlikely that there are significant waves hours beforehand if there’s actually a causal relationship to the movement of the plates themselves.

It would be far more likely that the EM pulse happens with slightly faster propagation than the kinetic pulse (like milliseconds, not hours).

The Stanford Software Removal Tool (SSRT) is published by Stanford University IT, for people who want to easily remove Stanford-suggested software from their systems.

Edit: To be clearer, this removes software that University IT either suggests users install, or requires users install. For example, Cisco AnyConnect is suggested (over, for example, the macOS built-in VPN); BigFix is required (at least, for many systems, particularly when working with PHI).

I posted this because it was recently updated to remove the hidden Zoom app that is described in https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20387298.

What if he makes a negative impact?

Perhaps Facebook is not looking for solutions to privacy problems, and this is just a marketing strategy/theater/smokescreen; Creating news events where FB is linked to people in the privacy scene.

If you realistically look at recent news events, i believe this is the most likely scenario.
No, it takes less pressure to active the touch bar than physical keys.
What incentives do employees & engineers have for improving privacy or preventing privacy issues & bugs?

Kind of like how FB's performance became part of annual review & promotion rubrics for employees recently?

Can other employees spike projects started by anti-privacy gordon gekkos to improve short term metrics?
I propose on building native tools that have all relevant libraries statically linked. Yeah, executable will grow in size, but it's the best of both world : portability, speed and not using javascript.
As I mentioned you need to have the images you use available locally (eg. `docker images | grep docker/dockerfile`). In your Dockerfile you explicitly say that you want to use docker/dockerfile:1.0-experimental from the hub as a build frontend. If there is no such name/tag locally it needs to check the state in the registry as `1.0-experimental` tag is updated on new releases.
Well, in the US, there's the FDA. And that is a bit more stringent than EU.

It would be interesting to know what the ARM SecurCore SC300 processor[1] does, if that is constant time multiply or if they just expect you will use the hardware crypto accelerators that are commonly integrated with it, e.g. in the ST33 [2].

This. My wife was in her backyard with her dad during the Loma Prieta quake, and a few minutes before the quake they saw a momma possum with her babies climb down the side of the house and walk off into the bushes.

It could be a coincidence, but reports of animals acting oddly before quakes aren't uncommon, and we've recently found a plausible biological basis for how birds sense magnetic fields, so some animal or animals may be able to detect signs that an earthquake is more likely to occur.
Yeah i'm planning on that for a variety of reasons.

The requirement of GDPR is not "don't get hacked", it's "take reasonable steps not to get hacked". If you take reasonable security measures and still get breached, you aren't liable.

Yup, that's the whole point of GDPR - see data as a liability (not just as an asset).
The reason I submitted this now albeit dated is due to the fact that now GDPR is alive, CCPA is in the works and overall privacy environment has changed to kill the cookie in advertising as we know it. So there will be a need to explore alternatives to do the same stuff without using cookies (e.g analytics systems such as GA)
Lots of great material here to check out after work!

My contribution is a vintage stuff restoration channel called My Mechanics. No verbal explanations of what he's doing, just some subtitles where necessary, and I find this really helps me focus on what he's doing with his hands while restoring these bits.
Spoilers: I was strongly reminded of the book by https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20360626, but didn't want to post it there.
Wholeheartedly disagree. I use the Touch Bar religiously for media production including scrubbing through audio/video and adjusting dials/filters/tones and I've remapped it to include my most used functions in things like VSCode and even iTerm.

I get that it's not for everyone but to generalize and say that it's not "Pro" is delusional.
These aren't really exclusive (although they might be), right?
Technical question I haven't dug into:

How much of this predictive power has to do with facial recognition, and how much has to do with compression artifacts, pixel value abberations, etc?

Edit: the paper addresses this question:

> One question is whether the
network is using “high-level” cues, such as shape and symmetry, or simply relying on “low-level” cues, such as resampling artifacts.

> although the network may be taking advantage of certain low-level cues, such as resampling, some performance is retained even when those are averaged away

Seems that it's both... but I'm not sophisticated enough to read this paper deeply.
How does someone like this get allowed to persist in a workplace?
That's doable in settings. Mine displays nothing but fn keys all the time.
It's not just a view, it's a control. There's a difference between sticking random, non-interactive information in the Touch Bar and having it be a contextually dynamic control.
I wonder if legendary computer scientist Tony Hoare (C. A. R. Hoare) was part of the family, especially given his three given names.
I’m curious: what sorts of things does your team do instead of code
reviews?

Does your team have norms around code quality? How are these maintained?

What happens when a commit needs improvement? Does the team discuss it somehow? Does someone fix it with a follow up commit?
CORS is indeed supported and also required on localhost if you're using two different ports (e.g. an API server and a hot-reloading dev server for a UI).
After I requested work buy me a tricked out MacBook (which I received literally last week), I saw the rumors that Apple would soon update their MacBook line. I was mentally preparing to be gutted when Apple would update the MacBook with two fullspeed USB-C ports and Touch ID....instead they cancel it!

The Air is barely more compact than the Pro (look up the specs, it is a bit thinner on one side and is 0.25 pounds lighter).

The MacBook is a true ultraportable laptop (it is 0.75 pounds lighter than the Air) - sad that Apple doesn't sell one now.
Or unless you inherited those beliefs from your parents, who kept you oversanitary as a child. Then the world really is very dangerous for you; childhood is the best time to get exposed to stuff.

What negotiating though? If your huge customer, orders and/or payments database is exploited and dumped and then used for identity/CC fraud, there is no negotiating with hackers. You will be found out eventually due to the proliferation of sold information and data dumps in the black market, which are then analysed by researchers. Then you will be fined possibly twice instead of once or not at all, since you also failed to report the breach.

I fail to think of relevant common situations where negotiating with the hackers would be an option in breaches relating to GDPR.
Someone with a sufficient itch (and some Elisp skills) could probably do for ffmpeg what the Magit team did for Git. Git's another program with a litany of options, and Magit does an outstanding job of covering them with an easy-to-use interface.

Admittedly the ffmpeg bar is probably higher, esp. given that ffmpeg can be configured and built a couple dozen different ways.
As much as the Touch Bar doesn't bother me and having the physical F keys seems a step back to me, I think this is the right answer anyways. They'd appease both sides of the argument and they wouldn't lose much at all. Even if they had to make the trackpad a little smaller, it's fucking gigantic on the newest models so losing a small bit of it wouldn't hurt anyone at all.

Well, using Linux makes more sense after new MBP specs, every time.
Vimium-FF, Tridactyl, and Vim Vixen adapted. It's true the APIs that allow this kind of thing lagged behind for a while, but there was enough interest to eventually develop those APIs.

P.S. Vimperator had 15,000 users according to https://web.archive.org/web/20171016205807/https://addons.mo... Vimium-FF alone has 26,000 now.

To be exact Flatpak only requires that for exported data files. Since binaries are not exported they can be named anything.
David Bowie‘s collection of Memphis-Milano furniture (2016)
Mind sharing the reason that you think this is binary? It seems to me that there is a price/value sense and different people have different value so by varying price you can reach an appropriate size of the market. But zero price is always better than higher price, so if that exists why would anyone pay at all?

I’d say the null hypothesis is that pirates won’t rebuy. I don’t think there’s evidence that pirates rebuy on a scale that matters. Not worth optimizing for.

Instead you aim to price the product and ensure availability in a way where the friction is low and the value is high for the price so you can maximize revenue. Fortunately, app stores like Apple’s have created a safe haven for this sort of thing.
I love my 2012 Mac Book Pro (okay, my employer's). They OK'd buying a new one, but honestly, I still haven't found a good reason to switch out for a new one, except the weight (I bike in to work, and those extra pounds are a drag)
I believe you can, though I've not been there myself. But all the articles I've read and all the ECS implementations I've studied so far usually focus on one, maybe two of those aspects at a time, so every one looks different from another.

(In my current side project, I have relaxed performance requirements, so I'm experimenting with taking the relational aspect up to 11.)
This is a pretty perfect answer to my question, thanks!!

I also have a x1 Carbon 5th gen. It's been my favorite laptop I've ever owned. I run Arch Linux on it and it runs so nice and easy, charges super fast, has all the ports I use.

I can definitely recommend everyone who has been disappointed by Apple to come to the Linux/Thinkpad ecosystem. It's not difficult to switch. Give it a try! :)
Yeah, this is an Azure play. The reseller model worked when Microsoft didn't want to deal with the sales channel and so if you're in Austin you find a local Microsoft vendor to deal with everything. Now Microsoft wants to bring it all in house so that they can upsell everyone on Azure.

Any relation to C A R Hoare who invented Quicksort?
I'm surprised at the vehemence of your reaction, and don't really know where to begin responding, so I'll just pick out this sentence:

"Good god could you imagine the world if people stopped following their dreams so early in life"

I imagine it would be indistinguishable from the way it is now. I don't see that the world is built on "great contributions to humanity", just the slow layering of knowledge upon knowledge.

I'm glad you made yourself happier by applying yourself more diligently to your studies when you were in school, but "try harder" is not a helpful response to the parent comment. Almost none of us make any impact beyond our immediate social circle, and even if you do that impact will very quickly become indistinguishable from noise. You don't need to accept that, but it's true, and if you do accept it your life will be better
Lucky me I didn't have any problems with mine because I:

Eh? It already has gesture support. You can flick the volume and brightness buttons to change the levels one step at a time or you can drag on them to pop-up a slider control.

Unless you're suggesting global gestures where two-fingers anywhere on the TB would control volume. In that case, I'd have to see a use-case. I can see that going horribly wrong and being triggered accidentally all the time.
1. The interface may not be referenced within the particular scope of an injector. Scopes (and the modules that make up an injector) are determined at run-time, so the compiler has no idea whether or not the injector that generates ParentWidget needs FooModule, or not. As long as an object sharing an interface with something that FooModule produces is injected anywhere else in your application, for any reason, you can't statically figure out that you should remove it from the injector that creates ParentWidget.

2. The interface is referenced, the implementations might not even be bound to it, depending on run-time conditions.

Even trivially scoped dependency injection is a fantastic way to make it impossible for your compiler, and very hard for a human, to reason about your dependencies.
I would like to point out you've not mentioned the state of Preview aka Fenix at all, only that the soon-to-be-ESR-only Fennec will continue to support add-ons.

Regarding Zathura the most readily available resource can be found by running man zathura and man zathurarc. The same info is of course on the web.

It does 2 page view, optionally shows progress, and with the mupdf backend supports epub and pdf and a few more.

Now it doesn't support mobi but calibre can automatically create an epub from the mobi on import.

Calibre is still useful in 17 different ways even if you don't actually use it to read the book.
