I sort of agree with you. The demand and supply for askers and answerers is imbalanced:

questioners: 24035
answerers: 10888

It's not that we are running out of people who have questions. The reward system needs to reflect this imbalance. Also, I'm afraid there will be increase in questions and corresponding increase in lack of answers demotivating people who genuinly wants to ask without regards to reputation.

To curb race to first asker, SO should implement exponentially discounting reward. This makes final commulative reward finite.

A note to freelancers: we is your pronoun
I actually appreciate this. Glass and steel are nice from a distance, but when's the last time on the sidewalk you actually took a pause and leaned on one for a break? These new textures are cold and distant, pristine and fragile. You're not supposed to touch them.

Concrete, stone and brick are the opposite. They're timeless and welcoming. You can touch them without having to worry about leaving a print. They feel like they take care of you, rather than the other way around.

And aesthetically, IMO, there's nothing more incredibly boring than just sheets of untouchable glass straight down the street. There's no texture and no character.

A good compromise is to allow the warmer facades of old buildings to continue to exist, and leave the new ones to the skyline, so long as they continue to be isolating.
Bad analogy, it's other way around for Linux. We are building it to run on wooden blocks that hardware manufacturers are producing.
Wouldn't that just be a tablet?
All the issues you are reporting are just growing pains and will be sorted out/disappear alongside adoption and as the standard matures. USB-C is what a computer connector should have been from day 1.

I don’t see how the volume could decrease in the bended state.

172 x 72 x 14 = 173376
53 x 98 x 13.9 = 72196.6
173376 / 72196.6 ~= 2.4

you're kidding right?

Docker runs as the Container Runtime under most Kubernetes clusters (in fact every Kubernetes cluster I've seen). The only other CRIs that are commonly used are CRI-O and ContainerD (which Docker already uses), and last I saw CRI-O was < 10% of the Container runtime market.
I have worked with old-school journalists, and have done my share of freelancing between ~1993 and 2005.

Even reasonably well done journalism is like debugging complex technical problems, but instead of working with systems that behave in a well-defined manner, you are dealing with people and complex wetware systems. They do not behave well at all.

Journalist hunting for confirmation or corroboration of a good lead is like a software engineer doing root-cause analysis in a byzantine maze, where reliability of information is suspect and all interactions with various interfaces must be assumed adversarial. Or at best to provide wildly incomplete data.

And the final output, the article that eventually gets published? Ask yourselves: have you ever written postmortems that must make sense to an audience who do not have the technical background to understand the nuances of the problem domain? Audience who will actively try to misunderstand what you have written, and extract soundbites out of context? Could you include enough information in the postmortem to pre-emptively defuse such attempts, so that you could trivially quote a section to point out the strawman attempt?

That's what proper journalism is like. And I consider myself privileged to have worked with people that; they taught me skills I could not have picked up in the university or most workplaces.
I agree that usb-c connectors can be pretty fragile. To preserve mine, I've been charging my phone almost exclusively with a wireless charger.
It only has a single USB C port (like every other USB C "hub" out there right now).
We are a small agency. Before Docker you can’t imagine the pain of managing Python, Ruby or whatever environments and dependencies especially on designers laptops for running dev environments. Now on a fresh laptop it’s just install the Mac desktop client and docker-compose up. Seriously it was a blessing for us.
That story's by non-experts and sounds like it's based on a press release. There were basic components of calculus well before that too: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_calculus

However, calculus proper (derivatives and integrals of general functions, and the connections between them) did not exist until Newton and Leibniz. Other mathematicians made important steps towards it earlier in the 1600s, and if Newton and Leibniz had not existed, others would have figured it out around the same time.

Ask HN: Any Zapier Alternative to Automate Twitter?
I use Zapier to automate Twitter. I add to a list people who post on a certain #topic. And from time to time I browse the list and add to friend people who meet certain criteria, or I like what they post.

I am looking at alternatives, because I find the first paid tier on Zapier way too expensive. I would gladly pay something like $5 for a lower number of "zaps" per month.

This has helped me network with like minded people. I looked at N8n.io but it lacks Twitter altogether. And in IFTTT I can't create this simple workflow... Maybe I am missing something.

There's a lot of complaining from the engineering side regarding the USB-C but for the customer it is godsend. Now instead of million little different ports, they can use one which in well-engineered (emphasis here) products will cover most of their use cases.

Yes, I know it is a pain to manufacture and design software for but the user doesn't care about that. They care about convenience.

> Yet none of those things enter conversations about cultural affinity in the same way movies do.

Really? What cultural affinity is there for Avengers? For Force Awakens?

I would argue movies have built an establishment of critics around itself, the disclosure surrounding it does appear to be more sophisticated and intellectual. But that doesn't mean the it is shaping the audience's perception the same way.
You can easily reconfigure keyboard shortcuts in most IDEs. The function key row was never ergonomically placed to begin with. My current keyboard doesn't have one either (ErgoDox).

These actions are also not that important to be able to hit very quickly. Back when I did use function keys, I usually had to look anyway, because they're so far away from home row, and the time between using them is usually quite long. And even though I knew the function keys purpose in an IDE, I would never know them in any other apps, leaving that row useless when not programming. (Well, I use them for volume and brightness control, but again.. it's not a muscle memory action anyway)

I do think fundamentally speaking the Touchbar is the right idea. It's not better for everyone, obviously. But it's probably a bit better for most people. I'm just not convinced it's a big enough improvement to make the added cost worth it. It probably still ends up being mostly unused, which is worse when it's an expensive touch display instead of extra keys.

Personally I'd drop the whole row, maybe but the speakers up there instead, and make the keyboard wider.. put in keys between the two halfs of the keyboard like TypeMatrix or ErgoDox.. but that's never gonna happen
Very tempting. Having it as an Android phone most of the time, but rebooting into Debian to mount other peoples' devices or do video out sounds like the kind of device that might finally make me switch from my iPhone 4S. I don't need the physical keyboard though, and I'd want a USB-A port and HDMI port instead of USB-C for everything. So perhaps there are other devices that might suit me better. Still, it looks very attractive. Kind of like the OQO Model 2 I used for a few months before it died on me.

At least in a MLM sales pitch, nobody thinks that one of you is about to die. For that reason, I think the scam call is far worse than any MLM sales pitch.

Side note, it's not accurate to refer to MLMs as pyramid schemes... Even though they're legal, MLMs are worse than actual pyramid schemes (and I don't think most people know what an actual pyramid scheme is, which is unfortunate because they're fascinating).

I cannot reconcile your words with my understanding of the world.

“Materialism” (as a social issue rather than a philosophical worldview) is bad because it focuses on endless consumption of unnecessary things. Not food and shelter, but designer sunglasses and pre-ripped jeans.

As for the student debt problem in the US and the UK, that’s because education now costs as much as the deposit on a very nice house — never mind a starter home! — whereas in the UK a generation ago it was free and two generations ago the government paid you to attend. This education has been sold as “getting you a good job” but then it turned out to be necessary for even for jobs that, a generation ago, didn't need a degree. So we have young people starting the same jobs three years later and in massive debt despite having followed the advice of their elders which everyone concerned was expecting to give them a career boost.

I got lucky. I picked software engineering because it seemed fun, but it turned out to be the quickest route to one of the highest income professions. If I’d been on a “normal” salary while burdened with the £36k of tuition fees my niece can expect to pay, there’s a very real chance I would reach retirement age without clearing that loan, and no amount of playing games with myself about spending £0.50 a day on food or looking for the lowest rent room and putting up with rats eating my bedsheets (real examples from university life) would fix that.

> High performance in throughput and latency. In our main data center serving non-China traffic alone, this service handled a peak load of 170k QPS with 40 machines running at 35% CPU usage on NYE 2015. The response time was < 5 ms at 95th percentile, and < 50 ms at the 99th percentile.

For a 100ms total budget, a ~50ms 99th percentile for a single microservice doesn't sound like something to boast about.
Teenagers of today didn't discover climate change, or materialism, themselves; they only know about it because adults of today talk about it. I think the generational generalization you just made is pretty invalid; the very fact that those issues are considered issues is a proof of that.
Obviously I'm missing something, but I thought all the concerns you express here were adequately covered in the PDF. I'm not a pilot, but the reasoning given there seemed pretty watertight to me.

I don't have time now to cross-correlate what you're saying with the article, but I hope to get time later to learn more about the discrepancy.
I agree insofar the bread and butter of most "news organizations" is not serious journalism.

It's garbage opinion pieces and "analysis"(also opinion pieces). Take scraps of news and figure out how to craft a narrative out of it that appeals to a certain target audience with the least amount of effort. Use clicks to dial it in. Sprinkle a few reuters copy pastas. Maybe a few top 10 lists. Bingo bongo.

Isn't this how Buzzfeed got off the ground?!
The article makes many strong but dubious claims. Like, I am inclined to believe that many teens and kids could handle more responsibility, but a lot
written in article just does not sound trustworthy. (The part where I disagree is the part where author promotes early marriage, I dont think it is
good idea to marry as teen.)

Like:

> American teens are subjected to more than 10 times as many restrictions as mainstream adults, twice as many restrictions as active-duty U.S. Marines, and even twice as many as incarcerated felons.

> It's hard to keep a marriage together when there is constant conflict with teens.

Are conflicts with teens really cause of that many divorces?

> The factory system doesn't work in the modern world, because two years after graduation, whatever you learned is out of date.

That is highly exaggerated statement. I am pretty sure 2 years after you are just find.

> Unfortunately, most people learn in those classrooms to hate education for the rest of their lives.

Is this actually true that over 50% of people hate school in America?

> young people are integrated into adult society as soon as they are capable, and there is no sign of teen turmoil

Is this result of actual study of teens in those societies? Or just reflection of assumptions? Because from what I read about history, in European societies
where young people worked in the past, young people were still quick to join revolutionary movements or just get drunk and fight it out in streets. Plus,
they often lived and work with families for economic reasons.

> Teens in America are in touch with their peers on average 65 hours a week, compared to about four hours a week in preindustrial cultures.

Were they really "in touch" with siblings and cousins only for 4 hours a week?

-------------

Plus, the reason teens are not considered adults is not that their IQ would be low. The reason is impulsivity and similar considerations.

Razr and the later V8/V9 had screens on the outside, and they were great. Just enough to show notifications, album art and music controls, and clock. Looks a bit large on this, but might give battery life benefits if there's less need to wake up the main display all the time. The camera bulge looks like it's more a risk...

What they say is they have a charger in their pocket and connected to their phone while hiking. So they're like yanking the cable, sometimes slightly, sometimes harder, thousands of times per day, as they walk, climb, etc. I'd say put the thing in a backpack, or use wireless, or whatever...
There is an easy counter argument which is the post you were replying to talked about the impact Docker had had, it made no arguments about Docker's technical merit.

You replied by talking about your perceptions of Docker having a bad technical design.

These two points are entirely orthagonal, which is why I'd guess your comment got downvoted.

It is frequently the case that the most popular technology is not the one with the "best" technical design.

For example the popularity of JavaScript or PHP. Neither is one that is regarded generally to have good technical design, however they have had a huge impact.
(Not OP) I don't think it does. It backs you up (barring quibbles on what you mean by "most"; years active or hours spent): "Beyond his work on the mathematical sciences, Newton dedicated much of his time to the study of alchemy and biblical chronology".
I once owned the original Razr (about 1-2 years after it was originally released). It was most definitely the worst phone I have ever owned, my first being the Nokia 3210 way back:

The keyboard was unusable, the UI was ugly and slow, bluetooth did not work properly. There were just so many issues. I remember it being released in Europe and it was one of the most expensive phones at the time; about a year or two later it was sold for peanuts.

All that being said, this phone runs android and does look quite cool. It might be a great phone at 1/6 of its price some day.
If peers are kids your own age, then that makes sense. Your siblings aren't the same age, they're not your peers - you don't see them as equals and they don't influence you on the same terms. I'm guessing though, it's not very clear.
Is 'US keyboard mapping' a different thing to a US English keyboard layout? The webpage offers the latter.
> I don't want a 50/50 shot of having caps lock on (or my light indicator).

What? Have you tried this feature at all? If you map Esc to Caps Lock in Mac OS, the light indicator never turns on, and you don't enable caps lock when you press that key.

Or do you mean that this is what'll happen if you use a different computer? In my experience that's not a problem at all. Muscle-memory can be made context sensitive. I use two different keyboard layouts (dvorak and qwerty), two different key arrangements (staggered on my laptop, grid on ErgoDox), Esc mapped to Caps-Lock on my home laptop, completely different key mappings on my ErgoDox at work, and still I have very little trouble using a Qwerty keyboard with standard mapping if a use a different laptop. I'm probably a bit slower, but that's not really a problem if it's a computer I don't use that often.
> our life right now has unpriced externalities among them: deaths from vehicle miles driven, sedentary car bound lifestyles, parking lot deserts, reduced childhood autonomy, pollution, highway driving commute times, class segregation by neighborhood).

I commute into a city by train a couple of times a week, working remotely otherwise, and don't drive all that much at other times, so your stereotypical assumptions here don't really count for much.

Does a living thing count as AGI? In that case, I'd say that most parents are quite good at creating AGIs ;)

Fighting climate change requires global coordination. Saving Venice requires national coordination and therefore should be far easier to achieve.
Yeah, I was quite encouraged by the description of the changes in that blog post. I haven't had an issue so far with keys sticking, but literally every complaint I did have about the new keyboard (low keypress travel, keys too close together, touchbar too close to the keyboard, no physical Escape key) was addressed. If there was an easy way to trade in my 2018 15" Pro for a reasonable price I would totally do it.
Thank you, this is well done and I'm a proponent of anything that gets more people on board with remote work!

Images 2 and 4 are the worst - where they are trying to squeeze an extra floor in so the new facade windows dont align with the old facade windows.

Images 6 and 7 are postmodern additions - maybe its not your style but they aren't without architectural thought

The others are all standalone facades unclear what their final outcome will be. Perhaps they were never of a good standard, were beyond repair at the time or were taken away during construction. In any case just keeping the facade is probably better than 50 years ago when theyd just demolish the whole thing.

The title "Intel disables hardware lock elision on all current CPUs" seems too broad. Intel is disabling the backward ISA compatible implicit HLE capability--I can't remember exactly how it worked without looking it up, but IIRC it was a hack that leveraged existing cache coherency and ISA semantics to permit optimized spin-lock implementations that without feature detection still worked correctly on older chips.

Explicit TSX instructions are now merely opt-out, where previously they couldn't be disabled by the kernel. The posted patch doesn't seem to disable it but simply adds some of the bits needed to do so.

EDIT: Okay, I guess it is disabling Hardware Lock Elision (HLE), proper. But "hardware lock elision", lower case, implies all TSX-based lock elision code will stop being optimized. AFAIU RSX (explicit TSX) is usually only used for lock elision, anyhow; it's more of a microcode and speculation hack than a generic transactional memory feature, so the dividends quickly become elusive for anything beyond lock elision.
