Illegal diversion in the supply chain does not tell us anything about whether the healthcare system is over-prescribing pain medication.

Let's just take your example. What do you believe is more plausible? That a town of 400 people are collectively prescribed 10,000 pills a day by well-meaning doctors? Or that the pharmacy from your example is a front for organized crime to funnel prescription opiates into the black market?

On the flipside, necessity is the mother of invention. How many behemoth companies do we see now that sit on their hands and don't bother innovating at all? There's surely a balance to strike here between desperate and panicking and fat and lazy.
Apple no longer competes on the same metrics as they used to. It used to be about functionality and quality, but they've become a status symbol (mostly in the ohines, but I think it carries over in the brand), and thus they don't have to face as much market pressure as other companies in the same space that other companies do to make sure they don't have problems.

Is it really any wonder that as Apple products become more and more of a status symbol we see quality slip, not entirely, but just enough that they can keep their status but increase their margins? I would argue it's what we should expect given their situation (even if it sucks).
Ah yes, the "I want a horsey" method of engineering.
It's not uncommon for someone like you to make a statement like this when I make such comments.

I imagine I would be downvoted to hell and possibly crabbed at by the mods if I began researching members of the leader board to prove my case or even just began ticking off what I happen to know off the top of my head.

I'm not at my best at the moment. Suffice it to say this kind of statement is part of the problem in my eyes, though it often seems motivated by good intentions.

There are men who've used their popularity here to make contacts, promote their work, etc. The fact that you aren't one of them isn't actually evidence that it can't be done.

Walking away enables you to drop the rock. I don’t mean to gloss over the value of your contribution. But it seems you have done the cost to benefit analysis and have decided to move on. You’re saying additional risk is not worth it. Or in your estimation the company is not worth your continued efforts, aka worth $0 to you.

Either find some consulting work and work something out with Jim to stay in the game, or cede all the risk and reward to him. Building a company isn’t for wimps. My apologies for my brutality, but I’m actually in your position and see it from my Jim’s perspective.
> While many people are interesting in starting to learn something on their own, drop off rates are extremely high for MOOCs.

The near-(or at-)zero cost of MOOCs mean people will start them when they would not commit to something with a higher activation cost. To some extent, the stats on drop-off aren't signs of being worse at getting people to complete them (though that's probably a factor to), but at getting people to start them when they would not start other kinds of programs. Which is often still a win, significant learning can happen without completing a curriculum.
It is true that async functions work similarly to the coroutines found in other languages, and that some transpilers convert async functions into Javascript generator functions under the hood. However, these are both implementation details.

On the flip side, there is a Javascript transpiler called nodent which directly converts async functions into the corresponding `Promise.then` calls, with no generators in sight. This transpiler actually generates smaller & faster output than the standard generator-based approaches, since the async/await semantics map more directly to promises.

In other words, async functions really are semantic sugar for promises, even if they have some similarities to coroutines / generators.

To try it yourself, just go to http://nodent.mailed.me.uk/ , check the "spec compliant" option, and look at the generated output.

That's funny, because I call the Late 2013 MBP the last best one :) Among other things, it was the last one to feature a physical trackpad click, as opposed to the fake "taptic engine" all-glass trackpad of the 2014 and newer which doesn't physically move when you click (similar to newer iPhones).

WSL is not good enough. I tried it, I really gave it a chance.

Breakages across Windows updates, atrocious filesystem performance, broken file permissions, so many rough edges buried deep in the issue tracker. I strongly recommend trying it but, but I can't possibly recommend it for professional use.

It's impressive, and from what I recall a small team working on it, who deserve tremendous kudos, but it's no replacement for real Linux.

The Arduino is limited in regards to capabilities because it's a heavy ecosystem (usually) running on a wildly anemic device; you're out of your mind if you're expecting HDMI enc/dec, USB host controller, etc. on an 8-bit microcontroller. The usefulness of LiteX is severely mitigated by just using more powerful microcontrollers coupled with purpose-specific parts.

I personally don't care much more than what I already get from peers, existing social media, and local news coverage - and maybe occasionally an events site (local, not some generic rebrand optimized for SEO). We had a similar concept based on social connections here in Germany from the time before Facebook gained majority market share (wer kennt wen), if memory serves correctly they tried to pivot target audiences a few times but ultimately had to fold around 2010/2011 despite substantial media backing. Hate to put it this bluntly but I don't personally see a benefit of having to check another social media site with information I don't care about. I already have ways to talk to and stay in touch with people around me.

PS: I'd also like to echo the negative sentiment of the "colony" wording. I get your explanation, the term itself is still weird to see.
I honestly thought I wouldn't like the fake clicking, but I ended up liking it after I used it for a day!

> I’m not saying it’s not good enough for some, a lot of things in it still suck.

The onus is on you to prove that this is true and endemic to the platform and not your unfamiliarity with the workflows on Windows.
Interesting. Do you imagine that there will be a federal prosecutor in the chamber of the Senate for the trial? Do you think that the defendant has the same rights and presumption of innocence as a defendant in a federal criminal trial? Do you not understand that an impeachment is a _political_ act and not a judicial one?

If convicted Trump would face no jail time, he would lose no liberties, nor would he in any jeopardy. The purpose of the impeachment process is to provide a mechanism for removing a president from office, not putting them in jail. The threat of federal prosecution and jail time is what he will face after he is out of office, but not from an impeachment process.
It isn’t measuring career progression. That’s the point. It is conflating entirely unrelated career progressions. The set of people who have a sociology degree at 23 and are working as salespeople or office managers or whatever else are almost entirely disjoint from the set of people who have a JD or MBA at 40. Largely that second category is made of people who were not working at 23 because they were actively pursuing a postgraduate degree.

There is actually no career progression that results in a post graduate degree being earned. That is simply not part of career progression. Earning an advanced degree is something that one can choose to do instead of investing in one’s present career. No amount of hard work at your job will turn a four year English degree into a law degree or MBA.
Security by obscurity is, in general, not a great idea.
None of the concerns of concurrency go away because you don't have threads, they go away when you have no multitasking, and NodeJS is a cooperatively multitasking environment (modulo a few minor asterisks).

So of course there are still critical sections--a critical section is a set of operations that must have uninterrupted access to a resource in order to maintain a desired level of consistency. If you have to yield (that is, `await` on a Promise or wait for the invocation of a callback), which sometimes you do have to do (i.e., you have to do IO, you've got a crunchy computation running in C++ outside of the JS loop, whatever), then you need to prevent access to that resource from whatever is being picked up next by the JS runtime while the first user is waiting for that IO to finish or that computation to come back.

To that end, locks are that "good state management" to which you refer. Most of the time one can use a mutex--the `async-lock` library is common--but I've even encountered cases where resource management must occur in structured forms and it was necessary to implement a read-write lock, where multiple readers can operate in tandem but all readers must close out before a writer can take control.

The basics don't change when your multitasking is cooperative rather than preemptive--all the same stuff still applies. This is not a controversial set of assertions. I don't understand at all where you're coming from.

I hold the opposite view - Thinner and lighter is good, not just for looks, it saves my bag space and weight on my shoulder. And ports that are not used, most of the time by most users are a waste. With Thunderbolt and usb-c the laptop doesn't need them any more, so long as there's enough bandwidth they can stay on the desk.

But I'm with you on it needing a functional, decent keyboard. That shouldn't be sacrificed.

When you explicitly select people who are between 23 and 25 and have entered the work force, you are intentionally selecting for people who do not have a JD and are not actively earning one. The set of 23 year old lawyers is essentially nonexistent. The set of 23 year olds working full time and also enrolled in law school is hardly much larger.

> As opposed to social media or GPS tracking apps, Schaeffer said the Apple Watch fall-detection feature offers extra reassurance by not relying on a person to alert first responders.

We're early enough in the adoption cycle that this is an undeniable benefit. Obviously, if nobody else is around, then it's life-saving. But I do worry about the long-term ethics. What if, when such watches become common, it becomes socially acceptable to just ignore people in life-threatening distress - "I don't need to call 911, their watch will have taken care of that." Just another nail in the societal coffin of distorting individualism as insularity.

Not a reason to ban this technology (or any similar action). Just something to keep in the back of our heads as the adoption curve progresses.

Indeed. Google Maps is also known to copy OSM without attribution (which is illegal, but not yet proven so clearly that I would be on a lawsuit).

I don't see the justification in calling HN a Boy's Club either, as there are zero barriers to participate other than a computer. That term is usually used when people exclude women from the group because they are women, but nobody here knows or cares what sex you are.

It is overwhelmingly male. There is plenty of evidence that women would like to participate more but are put off by some of what goes on here.

Yes, I think your attitude is a direct contributor to some of your problems.

Yes, this is typical. And it's maddening.

I made the leader board. That accomplishment doesn't get credited to me. But my failure to achieve my goals gets blamed on me, conveniently hand-waving away all evidence that sexism is a real problem.

Let me reiterate my original point and then try to walk away from this ridiculous debacle:

Men don't have to treat women like property. All they have to do is silently exclude them professionally, thereby making sure women have little hope of a comfortable life without marrying a man with a good income.

If men would like to stop being targeted by gold diggers and start finding lovers who want them for reasons other than their money, they should start making more of an effort to find ways to bring those barriers down.

When women can make their own money and can have sex to meet their own sexual needs, we might see frivolous accusations of rape to preserve female pretense of chastity and virtue go way down.

If you're going to do serious audio signals processing, you're probably going to very quickly find out that an 8bit Arduino and the Arduino environment are nowhere near powerful enough for your needs. If you really stick with it, you'll upgrade to something significantly more powerful (both hardware and tooling wise). If you start to push the limits of a 32bit microcontroller or DSP, but are still sensitive to price/power consumption/footprint/etc, then you will truly understand what the need for an FPGA is. That's my point; you as an embedded beginner (which is what most of the "maker" market is) are multiple revelations away from even beginning to understand why you would want to use an FPGA, let alone know how to work with one.

Ian cringed and pulled me closer. “You’re not going to like this,” he said. “But you were trying to talk shit about self-driving cars with some of the first engineers ever to build one.”

I wonder who are these engineers who claimed to have built a self-driving car in 2013. Because we're in 2019 and self-driving cars still require two drivers to operate them.

New stuff in general is not worse. New versions of old things quite often are! So upgrade your taste and try new things instead of newer versions of the old things you know you like, because with these you're very likely to be disappointed.

In this context maybe the answer would be to try something else than a macbook. Tbh, and iPad pro capable of running Xcode and docker would rock for me.

>it is a problem that needs to be dealt with.

Well, I think it's definitely a problem. Maybe while engineers and techies are young and working and making all that money, you use some of it and get an MBA or law degree or some other professional degree? Even better, go to med school. (That one's really hard though, only do this if you really want to be a doctor.)

In any case, education like that would deal with the mid-life income growth issue fairly effectively. (And in the tech industry, with all the ageism, it can be a mid-life "having any income at all" issue. Which is even worse.)
