They should provide a URL and QR code linking to a site where you can read/download the instruction manuals for the computer, OS, and software on your phone.

That would be somewhat easier than having to use google to search for them, which is what I normally do.

Most old games are hard to play without instructions, but the instruction manuals tend to be detailed and also fun to read.

(As an aside: it's always exciting when I find a modern game that includes a printed instruction manual!)
I think that's fair - with the exception of self-descriptive names, and acronyms can further obscure understanding, if you say you've got a Self-Contained Underwater Breathing Apparatus sure, it's for... like breathing, underwater... apparently self-contained which I'm not quite certain the significance of but like "Under water breathing thingy" is a very natural interpretation. SCUBA, to contrast, is much more easily recognizable due to pop-culture, but has no naming inherent to it's name, and is generally not written in a way that implies acronym-ness, "Oh, were you wearing your Scuba tank?"

Outside of maybe "naming calling" by referring to the majority of the commenters as "Authoritarian" which seems to be a factually accurate statement not really name-calling, how is my comment a violation of the rules.

I enjoy commenting here, and I have no intention on taking HN into an ideological flamewar, it is my honest take on that status of Money Laundering laws, and I would love to have an honest and frank conversation on why Money Laundering laws are bad for society,

Why is that type of conversation prohibited on this site? And if it is why was the thread allowed at all where Pro-Money Laundering laws (an objective authoritarian position) is allowed to be freely discussed without censor, but my counter position is not.
Due to past 1 child policy China's average age is on par with US now, and much higher than other developing nations. But the level of development is still very low relatively speaking. 10 years from now they'll have 400 million old people, plus another 100 million sick from pollution and other public health issues. From my conversations with party members their plan is to automate the doctors by then.

Wrong. Brand names were around during Roman times. Roman pottery has been unearthed which shows brand names and logos. It isn't anything new.

Yeah the people in the middle that have any form of income get screwed with FAFSA. I was > 24 years old already so financial aid only considered my income.

One year I made $11k and it dramatically reduced my grants. I imagine a dependent student with both parents working and making $60k+ get essentially nothing in grants.

Hearing that 'rich kids' are essentially hiding their parents income/contribution to get max financial aid is a cruel joke. The parents and student should go to jail for fraud.

English plugs are designed to land pins up and stab unsuspecting intruders in the foot. That's the best design feature because A: defence, and B: accidentally pulling the plug out is harder as the cable exit is mostly never in the pin direction.

* Pin contact order is guaranteed.

* Shuttering of L/N is mandatory.

* Also not a plug thing, but 230V = lower current = lower heat, less fire risk. And less copper!
For structured / trace logging like x-ray, you need to do quite a lot of work in the app. It doesn't happen automatically. You can get a bit of it "for free" from NewRelic APM which can do some sampling of execution traces, but it's mostly around function calls, not custom spans. (You can define those too)

If you need just text output logging, there are a few solutions already described. But at this point you should really make a decision - are you after simple text logs, or can you put in work to get structured events or tracing out of your app.

Daily driver for work is a Thinkpad E580 and it’s by far the closest thing I’ve typed on to the vaunted 2015MBP keyboard to the point of me considering buying one for personal use and throwing Linux on it.

I'm all for more new and innovative languages, but I think the key thing about TypeScript is not that it compiles to JavaScript, but (to quote basarat's great free book[1]) that "TypeScript is just JavaScript with docs".

TypeScript is a strict superset of JavaScript, so all our real-world JavaScript is TypeScript already — you can literally just change the file extension from .js to .ts.

Now, our existing JS code probably isn't great TypeScript, since it doesn't leverage those great machine-and-human-readable docs (the type system).

So, compared to code written from the beginning with TypeScript, our existing code doesn't go as far toward reducing the likelihood that we humans miss something while programming, and introduce a bug. And we probably won't get all the automated assistance that we could be getting from our machines, in terms of auto-complete, as-you-type errors and warnings, automatic imports, etc.

But for projects coming from JavaScript, it's hard to overstate the importance of being able to start from a place where all your existing code works like it always has, and you can choose the right mix of when/if to upgrade your legacy JavaScript code to TypeScript.

I think that design decision is probably the key to TypeScript's explosive adoption and popularity. A lot of languages could give you strong typing, and the increased code correctness and massively improved tooling that comes along with that — but I don't know of any others that literally require no code changes to start adopting them.

Of course, the choice to remain a superset of JavaScript does place some significant limitations on what kinds of cool improvements TypeScript can add. It can't break JavaScript code so lots of cool things one might imagine won't be possible. Still, a great tradeoff IMO.

I'm glad that others are voicing the same issues I'm experiencing. Sometimes I wonder if I'm taking crazy pills.

My solution has been to place an Apple bluetooth keyboard -on top- of my 15" MBP keyboard and that seems to work pretty well, but wow, it shouldn't have come to this...
What point does this make that addresses mine?

Of course there are different qualities of toilet paper. In a commodity-style market for toilet paper there would be competition on both price and on quality axes and there would likely be multiple points of equilibrium between quality and price.
It's funny, I resisted an upgrade until my 2015 MBP became unusable, in part because I dreaded the keyboard. I do miss physical function keys, but I actually like the more clacky & tactile butterfly keys.

Maybe I'll feel differently once I finally manage to work a crumb underneath one of them.
I understand that is saying that their good job was not appreciated, but the eventual mistake was always criticised so they just can't win or keep a positive image of themselves. Sounds like a draining job.

On the other hand, claiming that "We didn't see it coming" is the safer and more logical public reaction for most cases. The opposite "We knew that this would happen" is a mine field.

If they knew it; there is an informer. With enough repetitions or forcing rare events to test the reactions, anybody suspicious could be disclosed as mole. And if they knew it, but didn't do anything to prevent a disaster, the public outrage wave would hit they really hard. Better to pretend to be dumb.
Switched to a thinkpad x1 carbon just over a month ago, coming from years of macbooks. I'm over the moon. The trackpad isn't as good, but all the things I use the trackpad for are easily replaced with keyboard shortcuts.
I feel like I'm the only one, but I don't care for Typescript.

After working with it for a while, the type checker ends up being painful to work with. I'm using React, and it's difficult to write higher order components that are correctly typed. Additionally, probably related, styled components often get messed up with the type system.
In James Clavell's Tai-Pan there's a character that scams the British by just grabbing local newspapers, translating them and collating them in a special brief he sells to them, in so pretending to be a spy.

He becomes their top asset of course, because his play was the old work at the bank for 45 years to get a pension scam.

Go live overseas in a country for a couple of years, bother to read local newspapers with Google translate, talk to locals, learn a little language and you too are at spy level.

Think you'd be a shit spy, well yes you kinda would be, but equally you kinda wouldn't. It's amazing what you know compared to 99.999% people back home, not many people live in two worlds.

And if you don't beat things up to climb the chain to look important, then you actually would be a great spy. But then you won't get promoted to senior levels.

Side note, this information arbitrage still exists with the Interent, and isn't tapped as much as it could be. A lot of meme's stay local. Money to be made in everyday boring commerce there.
As far as I understand, that effect is just a result of the superposition characteristic of waves in general, so yeah it should also apply to gravitational waves. I think the difference is that there aren't a lot of sources of "carriers" in the gravitational wave universe.
I just got an old one (2015) out of the closet at work when they offered me the new one.
Probably likely to do with the toolkit used to build the Windows version and inability or unwillingness to port it to Mac.

They really need to start from scratch and build solid, easily testable product because the current methodology doesn't work.

I especially love the bugs where when in one specific track changes mode typing in the comments section drops keys, or when using 'read aloud' the voice randomly changes gender. Office 365 on a Windows 10 LTSC virtualised host w/ no other software.
I am far from a professional coder - but I am pleased to see that a growing number of English language universities which offer 4-year bachelors of computer science degrees are making an ethics course a mandatory requirement for graduation.

> I think any domain-specific intelligence, as it approximates "perfect", would independently discover and solve similar high level questions and be transferable to other domains

There is a trap here, in the sense that we tend to lump all the unsolved AI problems into to the "requires AGI" bucket. Some computer scientists thought that a program that could beat a human in chess would have to be an AGI (can't find a source for this, can someone help?). Language translation that's good enough to convey basic meaning is another one that turned out to be _much_ easier to do than what was suspected. I'm still dumbfounded by GPT-2 and suddenly the Turing test doesn't seem that far out of reach as it used to. What if 99% of human intellectual tasks can be solved by domain-specific intelligence? What if we're not as smart as we think we are? That seems to be a trend.

On the other hand, there are some tasks that cannot be subdivided, and necessarily requires a massive amount of context about human culture, the real world, and excellent logical reason ability. The program that links the domain-specific programs might have to be like that, and then we're back at something that looks _very much_ like an AGI.
> If Apple releases their new Macs with an identical keyboard, then I'm ditching Macs and will pick up a Microsoft Surface Book or something similar. Whatever it is, I'll make sure to pick a laptop that has a god damned functional keyboard.

Same here, MBP keyboards are unbearable. Trying to develop on OSX has become a hassle. Gotta jump through hoops to get gdb to work. Windows with WSL on a Surface Book feels extremely tempting as of late.

I could grab a copy of Windows 10 LTSC and not have to get bothered by untimely updates, Cortana, other bloatware and even telemetry.
What a mess, seriously! What is the retention policy? How far into the past are the binaries stored?
This doesn't work well unless all your servers are custom pets or real hardware. If you have ephemeral instances scaling up/down, you'd lose history this way. Also you'd affect performance of the service, likely when you need it most - when the app is having issues and you're trying to debug it. There may be also limitation around data retention on a single machine.

If you're doing distributed containers, lambdas, or other more ephemeral things, you just can't do logging at leaf unfortunately.
Do you have a guide on how to compile packages into base image?
Honestly the clit mouse probably works better than both trackpads.

I switched to a Thinkpad after I had the horror of using a new Macbook. Running Ubuntu is lovely, so much so that for a developer there is little reason to be using a Macbook anymore. You can get a lot more bang for the buck using a Thinkpad AND have a functional keyboard.

Apple should be very worried. Once they loose the developers, users won't be long to follow.
It sounds like you didn't actually read the text of the statement, which concludes with: "Therefore, the HKISPA strongly opposes selective blocking of Internet Services without consensus of the community."
Yes! Well let me be a bit more clear. The FCC has a process for, and indicated they would likely approve, a special temporary operating license for such a device given that it would only operate for a short time (during the break-in) and not interfere with the thieve's or neighbor's cell phones as it would respond with no compatible roaming network. Also it wouldn't do any sort of interception or monitoring other than the tower ping.

It would also need permission from the licensed spectrum holder, that could be harder to get.

But yes, completely legit with the right paperwork.
It is that but its more. To replace my battery in my samsung s5 I just had to pop the back cover off with my fingernail and pull the old battery out. Now with modern phones I am sitting there with a hair dryer and suction caps trying to pry the phone apart for an hour so I can then remove 20 screws and 3 ribbon cables all in the right order so I can then start hair drying again to unstick the battery.
Consumer brands pre-date the FDA. The earliest adverts for branded foods tended to emphasise purity and safety above any other merit of the product, at a time when adulteration was rife.

In the absence of other oversight, a brand name provided a degree of trust - advertising is a form of costly signalling, indicating that the advertiser is investing in their reputation and would have something to lose by selling a shoddy product. The brand of flour I've never heard of is far more likely to be padded out with gypsum or chalk than the brand of flour that has advertised in the newspaper every week for the last four years.

We're seeing the inverse trend today, with sites like Amazon being flooded with white-label products of unknown safety and quality. In many product categories, there just isn't a brand with widespread recognition, or the sheer number of off-brand products has drowned out the branded products. These white-label sellers have little or nothing to lose if they sell a shoddy or outright dangerous product - they just take down the product listing, put up a new listing and buy enough five star reviews to get the ball rolling again.

How were those people living? Are they single people in their mid 20s with no significant other or kids? Are they making enough to put some towards retirement?

I guess if you're willing to sacrifice some things it could work. You're definitely not raising a family of 3-4 in a nicer neighborhood with that amount.
I use F5bot and it’s great
Same! I installed the Pop! OS Linux distro and everything seems fine. It doesn’t have the battery life I’d hope, but I have a terminal and 32GB memory for less than a new Macbook with less memory. The keyboard works well.
Yeah, the T-Series keyboards are even better than the X1 Carbon keyboard, and they are a field-replacable unit, and easy to source and replace if they fail or have issues.
I read a paper on this - if you cut the data by social-economic status, the number of 'qualified' black students would be just over 2%, and I think the colleges are targeting 8% of each incoming class (they don't call it a quota but it is, since it stays consistent each year regardless of overall applicants' demographic changes).
I think it's more like a 16-bit internal architecture and buses - so PDP-11 sized, add a rudimentary base and bounds swapping MMU and you have enough to run unix
I already have a mechanical keyboard for one of the two desks, and in the new year I'll only have _one_ desk, so I'll move that keyboard over to there. I don't mind the trackpad, but I've considered getting one of those vertical mice.
Well conveniently the one thing everybody agreed on is that it's some amount of litres.

They don't agree how many, but they did all give up on trying to define it any other way than via SI units like the litre (the US gallon is defined in cubic inches, but its inch is defined in metres so that gets you back to litres).

The even better news is that the litre is defined in terms which you can use for yourself from first principles. So you can thus find out what a gallon is!

First build a Caesium atomic clock, it will need to be cooled to as close to 0K as you can get. This will allow you to determine a second. Now, in a vacuum, or as close to one as you can get, measure how far light travels in this second. This will enable you to determine a metre, you can use this metre to determine a litre of volume and then apply the definition of a gallon.

All previous standards for the gallon relied on prototypes, a government owned "the gallon" or "the inch" and you could only have a copy, at best. But the litre is something you can just determine for yourself the same way you could work out Pi. Unlike a prototype "gallon" or "inch" Caesium atoms are found all over the universe and you can make your own (Kids: Do not try to make your own Caesium at home) and light is readily available or can be made too. Like estimating Pi, the more effort you put in, the closer to exact your approximation will be. Unfortunately even a poor approximation of the litre is harder to achieve than a one digit approximation of Pi, but it isn't impossible.
Rod logic is super cool! Wish more people were looking into it!
Not a vegan, but running 'feed' (whatever that is??? which may contain antibiotics, hormones and toxins and water) through a cow makes it 'highly-processed'.

In 5 years (having caught up) they'll be assuring us that their plant-based meats are more healthy and natural.
Generally, the best way to handle this is using the public suffix list: https://publicsuffix.org/

org.hk is an entry in it, which means you should display the next section "up" from that, so that would be hkispa.org.hk as wanted here.
As an intern you should know that you're not privy to plans and should refrain from public speculation about future investment. Other people might confuse it with an official announcement which can land you in a lot of trouble.
For use cases like this, I generally pull from: https://publicsuffix.org/list/effective_tld_names.dat

They'd consider these to be the .hk TLD's:
.hk
com.hk
edu.hk
gov.hk
idv.hk
net.hk
org.hk
公司.hk
教育.hk
敎育.hk
政府.hk
個人.hk
个人.hk
箇人.hk
網络.hk
网络.hk
组織.hk
網絡.hk
网絡.hk
组织.hk
組織.hk

They also consider dreamhost.com to be a TLD, so it's probably not the right list for some other use cases.
