I’ve really enjoyed my 2017 and 2019 MacBook Pros (and the MacBook I bought for traveling). I know some people have had issues with the keyboards, but I haven’t. I like the minimal amount of travel they have because typing on them is easier on my aging fingers. I don’t ever use the Esc key, since I use Karabiner to remap my Esc and CTRL keys to the Caps Lock key and my parenthesis to the Shift keys, so the Touch Bar doesn’t upset me at all. For me, the 2019 MacBook Pro is the best one.
Ah that must have been it.
Also, user upgradeable SSD and (somewhat) replaceable battery.

In the nature vs nurture debate, every time someone argues for all nature or all nurture it’s an ideological position. That biology has no influence on behavior is as absurd as that society has none. The division into nature and nurture is also not as clean-cut as people think it is. There are many things in human culture that are that way because of biology and our culture influences our biology over the long run.
The Trump Whistleblower Scandal Is Proving Edward Snowden Right
This was in 1938. Just three years after the Social Security Administration had been created. Most people still had telephone party lines. People didn't get how some government number could be really important.
I think that the default Fedora, Mint and Ubuntu themes look good but I can also recommend Numix [1]. I use Numix themes and Icons with Arch Linux at work and it looks professional.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0tuLkga0dmY goes through some of the UI on the dev kit (similar specs to the shipping phone but not as compact). There are probably more videos like that.

The actual phone is probably going to take a few days for a decent video. The assembly line is in SF, but I don't think they're using same-day shipping. And they don't seem to have prioritized shipping to people with video cameras.
Warp, Cloudflare's Free VPN, Is Now Publicly Available for iOS and Android
I try to minimize complexity and ideally use a single key for all clients, projects etc. This works well for SSH and reasonable well for PGP. I store my key on a Nitrokey Pro secure USB key so that I can carry it with me and safely use it in any environment. This way I don't have to use separate keys even from the security perspective.
Which is pretty much exactly how Android works as well.
>are almost entirely disjoint from the set of people who have a JD or MBA at 40

My S.O. has a sociology degree, and worked at JC Penny's after college. She now has an MBA and a JD, and is COO for a healthcare delivery network of several hospitals and a whole load of clinics.

I doubt she is the only one like that.
I think it was construed as being ’clever’ in the same sense as inserting an Easter Egg or veiled reference to obscure pop culture is today.

Really liking the look. Todays phones are so thin they just don't feel good until you put a case on them. The librem 5 looks like it has a nice solid boxyness to it.
Cool. I also started with Gentoo, then used Win for half a decade but turned back to Linux by using Ubuntu, the Unity desktop environment. Eventually, I am a KDE guy, but GNOME3 is surprisingly hackable with CSS and JavaScript, IIRC. I don't like tiling window managers, but if you seek for minimalism and geekyness, you should try i3m and friends.

In any way, I also had a powerful X1 for three years and it's a breeze. It is so fast that even big (don't want to say bloat...) software such as KDE starts quickly.
1. Some health insurance companies offer similar services, and Amazon has all the same perverse incentives to direct you toward cheaper treatments over more effective ones. When the entity providing healthcare is the same as the entity paying for it, there's a conflict of interest. I'm putting this first because it's already happening at health insurance companies, so it's practically guaranteed that it will happen at Amazon.

2. Amazon can leverage this to guide healthcare providers and employees toward treatments which benefit Amazon rather than the patient. A simple example would be favoring outpatient treatments which allow the employee to keep working rather than inpatient treatments which don't, regardless of which is actually the appropriate treatment. They don't have to explicitly instruct doctors to do this, they merely have to fund outpatient more, make it more prominent in their internal documents, and create more paperwork hoops for people to jump through to get inpatient treatment. Similarly, they can try to steer women away from pregnancy (and therefore maternity leave) by overstating the dangers of pregnancy, and overfunding tests which are likely to create concerns.

3. Medical providers are legally unable to share most medical data with your employer. This becomes effectively unenforceable when your medical provider is your employer.

This information can be used in ways that harms workers, such as terminating employees with costly medical conditions, conditions which might cause them to miss work, mental health issues, or conditions with a social stigma such as AIDS or alcoholism.

Before you say, "they can just use their healthcare through their medical insurance like before for things they don't want their employer to know about", consider that people frequently don't understand privacy, and don't understand that this information could be used to harm them, so many people won't do this. People commonly make the mistake of assuming amoral corporations will behave ethically. Privacy, especially medical privacy, should be default-on.
"it's about 60 more years for anti-black biases to be eliminated, 140 years for skin tone biases against darker skin to go away"

Why the distinction? Will black people still be facing skin tone biases in 61 years? What even is a skin tone bias? I'm pretty sure this isn't a bias against people who come back from holiday with a tan, which suggests it's not about skin tone, so racism?

I've never understood why posting to old threads upsets mods when the newest post rises to the top. In reality, it keeps things efficient and topics easy to search and find, since more of the content is in one thread instead of scattered all over.
The primary lies here are:

* There was any attack
* The alleged attack took out 50% of it's oil capacity
* Iran performed the attack despite confessions from the Houthi rebels
* This is about anything but giving the white christian terrorists in the USA and the abrahamic terrorists in Israel the the bloody war with Iran that they white christian terrorist crowd wants so desperately

If this attack happened? Good. Saudi Arabia deserves it.

Saudi has a lot of sun and a lot of room. You’d think they’d be investing heavily in solar, and large (TW) interconnects to Europe (via Iraq/turkey or via Egypt/med), or in large scale electrolysis to hydrogen
There was a study recently that basically debunked this theory. It was done by tracking real incidents through cameras in big cities in Europe. Long story short, the more people were there the more likely that someone offers help.

The point is that consensual sex with 17 years old is not rape no matter what the law in particular jurisdiction says. Call it something else like sexual misconduct for example. By calling it rape you're demeaning the term. You can't reasonably use the word rape for something that vast majority of people in Western culture consider to be perfectly ok behavior or maybe a bit indecent but certainly not criminal. You're just demeaning the term of you do that.

Just because it's called statutory rape in US law doesn't mean it's a serious crime in all cases and shouldn't be called in a way to suggest that. That's the point Stallman makes and imo it's the obvious one.

I hate to be that person, but “Multivariate Calculus”, “Introduction to Probability” and “Introduction to Logic” cannot possibly be considered “advanced math” and “advanced theory” as this guide states. This is something every CS freshman learns in their first term.

You might want to actually read that article daliusd. The bystander effect is just hypothesis and hasn't actually been observed to my knowledge.

In the mentioned Kitty Genovese incident the numbers were inflated and while it isn't mentioned here, there actually were police reports while it was happening.

They were just ignored until it was too late.
It's super annoying, and it's annoying to (attempt) to disable the hardware compression on the tape drives as well. We've got a tape library with 2 two LTO7 tape drives, and even though we're accessing it through the linux device file that should be accessing the tapes in an un-compressed mode diagnostic tools indicate that compression is still be used when writing to tape. Since we're pre-compressing our data with gzip having the tape drive try and apply compression is a wasted effort and I wonder if we're losing write speed to it.

Don't worry. America and KSA will make a killing in this, that's the important part, protecting big oil's prophets.

I don't think I'd call any of those reasons good; the main thrust of them is "const doesn't do everything, so don't let it do anything". If that line of reasoning is appealing, then one might as well continue using var.

> a case of a 60-year-old woman that presented to the emergency department with chest pain after she attended a wedding and ate a large amount of wasabi, assuming it to be an avocado

It should probably be cleared up that she suffered left ventricular dysfunction from eating too much wasabi - I had originally read the title thinking she was emotionally distressed from not getting her avocado, but instead it's more like a nervous system shock from the wasabi/wasabi poisoning(?) itself?
Youre still thinking in terms of networks. This is more oriented to UX/UI, aside from smarter network & database caching.

TL;DR - as an operator, Im asking you to end all of the "get out and push the data through the tubes" jokes we use to make clients feel more comfortable with our network-based workstations wasting substantial portions of their time, company time, and MY time. Retail, call-centers, even food service end-users have these same complaints about their systems.

-----------

As an operator? I can churn through customers FAST - the biggest hold up is that once every five clients or so that I have to wait a total of 20-50% of the interaction for the machine to reilably take my simple input. All the other interactions have a similar problem, but to a lesser extent. The most stressful part of my job is basically entertaining clients, justifying why I'm taking more of their time than seems absolutely necessary to them.

Please. Stop pushing me to talk about the latest $sportsBall game I [ cant afford , dont have time ] to see. I feel as if I know more about the national weather than CNN's meteorology team. Our office regularly alerts drivers of traffic slowdowns faster than the radio in some locales.

None of this is my job. Let me do my underpaid, overqualified job.

Note that this workstation is modern hardware, released after Windows 10. It behaved like this on installation day, when the installation team thought the previous IBM/upgraded-to-XP hardware was the slowdown - it wasn't. The architecture isnt aged so far that Spectre/Meltdown has produced any noticeable effect.

Sure, I can operate by touch and memory, within menus the software hasnt even presented yet - if the system accepts that "operator-side spectulation." But that takes some depth of knowledge of the system we're given to work with (that changes frequently, mind you) and sometimes even some gaming experience. Not to mention, if something is off, Im still waiting to see it so I can fix it.

Build your systems to cache locally. Let me do my freaking job as fast as I can, and let your congested network sort itself out after the fact. Maybe then you wont have to see this 1,2,4-frame overly simplistic malarky all over you HN.

Even if the full page is a load screen? Even if the only "action" I can take is a confirm/cancel, I absolutely stand with this. That much is too often a giant leap forward for peers.
The thing is this, that's nice for people who go to CalTech and get PhD's. What about the guy with a Master's from University of Illinois, Georgia or Michigan? What about the guy who only has a BS?

None of those guys are getting 500 grand.

The point is that people like that should probably consider a long term plan to keep their incomes growing at the mid-life stage.

You deliberately misinterpreted me. Criticizing Tesla or NIO is fine. Using headlines like this is intentionally misleading, carefully crafted to get ROI when the news hits the public (and when it hits the bots).

Because someone probably has to take time out of their day job to do so. Also, if it’s like any other conference I have ever attended, half the presenters didn’t send in slides and have to be hounded to do so—and many still won’t get around to it.
> There are bugs caused by mutatable state.

> There has never been a bug caused by reassigning a function local variable while leaving it mutable.

The latter _is_ mutable state. const doesn't prevent all mutations, but it does prevent some, while let prevents none. I'll take the limited protections of const (with awareness of its limitations; many examples of let are of confused devs trying to avoid making their objects immutable).

I'd love to hear more about your experience, especially about what happened exactly with that "what did I learn" journal. I'm on the same boat.

Instead of trying be introspective about my life, I've started to write down facts: I did so-and-so and this is why it worked, or why it didn't work. And what was my emotional reaction. That definitely yields less stupid sounding journals.

Linear Algebra is indeed essential - but Calculus as well. If you're talking about AI, then backpropagation would be the first thing that comes to my mind where Calculus is needed.
On the other hand if you talk about data science, I would focus more on statistics and probability theory (again linear algebra and calculus are tools you will need)

Do you think? The 'trend' for asexuality is very recent, (or if it's not, I haven't noticed, which still kind of undermines your point) not enough time to make much of an impact.

I would turn it around and say that the acceptance of homosexuality has created the space for a spectrum of sexuality.
You're missing the word "sorry" from your response.

My wife's a primary school headteacher (or K-12 as you say in the States). Her MacBook was disabled by this. Yes, she takes weekly backups, but schools don't have free money to spend on spare laptops for a few days' work, nor on unnecessary technician time to fix it. Fortunately I spotted this posting (thanks, HN poster!) on blearily checking HN this morning and instantly recognised this was what's happening.

Have some decency for the people whose lives you've just affected and apologise to them.

They are both very low, but I’d rather programs not change my stuff against my will, even if they are trying to protect me.
I'm a developer (I've worked on products many here use). I prefer thinner and lighter pro laptops. It has nothing to do with status.

People use these things around town in coffee shops, take them around campus, travel the world with them, etc.

Every pound in my backpack matters to me. Weight matters to me. Thinness matters to me. It's the difference between me deciding to bring my laptop and completely leaving it behind.

Same philosophy with my camera gear. I never got into the DSLR game because they were simply too heavy and bulky. I much prefer mirrorless cameras and I'm fine with the tradeoffs that come with them because I actually take my mirrorless camera around with me.

You don't have to agree with me, but I'm a huge fan of thin and light devices.
Plenty of people replied to counter this misinformation, so why is it still at the top?

Compared to exercise and diet? How is getting an TTE actionable to prevent heart attacks?
Interesting, just how large ?
Some of us are skinny. Or we hate lugging around weight. With something like a laptop, which you're carrying around everyday, half a pound saved makes a big difference.

I won't say I'm for thinner laptops, per se, because I'd rather that every laptop came with the maximum permissible 99 WHr battery, but I want everything as light as possible hell yes.

This didn't happen by accident, either: If you read i.e. Harvey Milk's "you must come out" speech, you'll see that the explicit intention of campaigns to get gay people to come out was to educate the public that they do in fact know people who are gay.
