Yeah, the MBP 16” is pretty comparable to the Dell XPS in price - at least when comparing base models.

However, the costs go up a lot if you spec out a custom config (+$400 just for 32GB RAM). Then the MBP starts looking quite a bit more expensive. Overall I don’t think they’re a bad buy though if you want macOS.

Or as it currently stands you can run the buggier, more resource intensive equivalents the software you used to run! Now featuring pervasive spyware that tracks and catalogues your every action!

Too bad, it's only available as "A Service" which means you get constant changes you never asked for AND you get to pay for them on a recurring basis whether you like it or not!

Seriously though I feel like most of the gains in hardware have been wasted by shittier software both in terms of quality and in the way the software itself acts against the interests of its users.

Has any studio open sourced what they've built? Or turned it in to a product? It seems there could be an opportunity to do something before git solves the problems for that use case.
I'm convinced there is a conspiracy that prevents laptop manufacturers from shipping AMD chips on 13" high end laptops. Almost every (every?) AMD laptop I find is some 14-15" clunker with a garbage screen.

I've had to put off buying a new macbook because of the shitty keyboard situation and all laptops (mac/pc) because it appears Intel's newest CPUs are still vulnerable to Meltdown/Spectre.

A highend 13" AMD based Linux friendly laptop would be utterly amazeballs.
Jup, I experienced this too (not at a game studio though, and the team I worked with wasn't nearly experienced enough to write a layer over git). When we switched to a new version of the git gui it would stop working because when you click through the GUI, it would perform some git operations that were supposed to run fast. I filed an issue that quickly got shot down with 'wontfix, your repo is too large and git is not for binary files'.

I would say that the sole thing git was developed for, the Linux Kernel, is (starting to be) painful to work with when using git.

My mum raised 5 kids, no wealth, no child support, yet managed to put us through university. But growing up in poverty taught me opposite lesson. I hate beggars and charities.

You have more expensive shoes, iphone and golden necklace. But YOU are asking ME to give you money?

Why is not mum with a kid in a shelter? Bcos she can not take a booze into shelter. She would rather starve her kid and use it as a prop for begging. Adoption is also not an option, bcos she needs child support money for booze.

Or this charity that collected millions to repair Haiti, but only used 2% for that purpose, rest goes into "expenses".

That isn't true.

In Bitcoin the block size limit was eliminated and replaced with a block weight limit which better reflects the long term operating costs for node. The raw 'size' of transactions inherently is becoming less meaningful in the long term with things like transaction compression and compact encodings.

The weight limit doesn't map perfectly to any size limit because its limiting different things, this evening most blocks have been about 1.3 MB.

I'm a full-time freelancer/contractor but I did a lot of on-the-side freelance work when I was permanently employed years back. You need two things. 1. Your daytime job needs to be relatively easy and low-stress so you have surplus mental capacity to work more in the evenings and weekends. 2. You side gigs need to be simple, repeatable processes. I used to do things like custom email newsletter and blog design, which I could easily churn out using common templates. Pay-by-the-hour services such as SEO and PPC management can also be pretty lucrative.

Helping Insurance Industry Generate Powerful Data
Although I'm doubtful about most of the claims this product makes, there's quite a bit of research into visual stimuli without that flicker. This 2018 paper for example: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-018-24008-8 "Highly Interactive Brain–Computer Interface Based on Flicker-Free Steady-State Motion Visual Evoked Potential" (Han et al.) Although that uses a real EEG headset, the article doesn't really convince me that this one will perform that much better than the existing products in the consumer space. Did anybody find publications that evaluate this one in particular?
The "bcash" term is used to attack BCH. It makes many of the attackers (that are everywhere on social media) pretty easy to recognize. Dishonesty and personal attacks are their "bread and butter". They attack BCH because it is the only Bitcoin still working to allow massive scaling.

Dark forces captured BTC to stop it from becoming a real peer-to-peer electronic cash for the world's people. BCH is keeping that dream alive and the dark forces opposed to financial freedom have been attacking BCH since before it existed.

I am sure there are BTC and BCH wallets that can steal your private keys. Don't use a wallet from an unreliable source for any crypto.
It would be nice if you and everyone else stopped gatekeeping this problem.

We have 600 devs and face these problems. I can assure you we sure as hell dont have the resources spare to reroll git. We're way too busy rerolling everything else.
That's if you believe that the mind is separate from the brain. I used to think so, but I'm seriously questioning that. We can already crudely manipulate the mind via manipulating the brain simply by what we see or hear (propaganda/etc) or smell. If we truly had mastery over the brain, doesn't seem farfetched to think total control over the mind would be possible.

As for genes and phenotype, why wouldn't controlling our genes control our phenotypes. We already control our children's phenotype to a limited degree by choosing whom to marry and have kids with. We can control phenotypes of dogs by breeding. We can create flourescent animals and plants via genetic manipulation.

https://theweek.com/articles/464980/7-genetically-modified-a...

Right now, our understanding of the brain and genes are so limited that we could call it the dark ages of brain and genes. But what about in 100 years? What will our understanding of the brain and genes be? If the advances are substantial than significant control over our minds and phenotypes shouldn't be a problem.
That was a conservative assumption at a multiple of the entire worldwide financial transaction volume... utilizing old technology.

The same volume without lightning would require blocks that were terabytes, which is obviously unworkable at the current state of technology.
While unrelated to the point you are making, I would suggest daily contracts - more hygienic, and don’t require fluid. I used both types and like dailies way better.

Dairy is an abusive industry in the United States and heavily subsidized. It costs more per gallon than the sale price per gallon. Dairy farms are dying. The mid west is thrilled about hemp farms..it’s expected to save a lot of farms. Until it doesn’t. But that’s another discussion re hemp.

The people who make money on dairy farms are the ones who chemical companies and pharmaceutical companies. The cost of raising milch cows eats away at margins. Dairy farmers survive because of subsidies until they have to keep producing more and more ..they stretch and stretch and then they collapse. Tragic.

> Bitcoin does not compete with literal credit card transactions

That's, like, just your opinion. For a lot of people it competes just fine.

> Credit card transactions happen on a higher level in the financial stack. As does cash

How so? As far as settlement is concerned, a cash transaction is pretty much exactly like a bitcoin transaction (and quite unlike a credit card transaction).
In genetic algorithms, you select the best from each generation to breed the next generation.

I think this holds true in software development teams as well.

When you indoctrinate new developers, you should delegate mentorship to the best* performing teams, so new developers can assimilate good practices and develop an intuition for how thing should work.

I think this is much more valuable than giving them grunt work.

*: just like with genetic algorithms, picking the right fitness function is everything. Good performance is about steady, consistent, sustainable development... rather than trading today's problem with tomorrow's problem.

Hi guys developer here,

5 years ago I wrote a simple tool: https://syncwithtech.blogspot.com/p/direct-download-link-gen... with HTML, CSS, JS to generate direct download links of Google Drive files from the share link. It is a simple string manipulation tool that is good for one or two files.

To automate the process, last year I launched the first version of Drive Explorer, it just exported the direct links and names of the files to the sheet. It was well received by the users and they started giving feedbacks and suggestions to make it better. After a lot of iterations and feature additions, we are here now.

Use cases:

If you use Google Drive a lot at work, Drive Explorer can save you a lot of time and increase your productivity. People use Drive Explorer for variety of purposes. Some use it to manage their inventory. Some use it to share direct download links of files with their customers.

With Drive Explorer,

You can see all your files from different folders in a sheet tab instead of going back and forth on your Google Drive. You can sort your files on tab based on name, size, created date, modified date, last viewed date either in ascending or descending order. This makes searching of files easy and saves you a lot of time.

You can fetch nested files & folders. Just pick the parent folder and tick a checkbox when exporting.

You can export files fast. A test run proved it can export 1000 files in approximately 16 seconds.

You will be able to share files and get share link or change the existing share settings directly from the sheet.

List of fields Drive Explorer can export:

Folder name, Folder Path, Filename, Preview Link, Direct Link, Share Status, File Size, Owner, Viewers, Commenters, Editors, Created At, Last Modified At, Export PDF Link, Export ePub Link, Export CSV Link, Export ZIP Link, Export DOCX Link, Export XLSX Link, Filetype, Width, Height, Video Duration, File Extension.

I agree. I was mostly refering to the last part of the quote where it mentions 'accessing Google services'.
With the advent of the Zuckerbergian Age, my favourite was always:

As the Americans learned so painfully in Earth's final century, free flow of information is the only safeguard against tyranny. The once-chained people whose leaders at last lose their grip on information flow will soon burst with freedom and vitality, but the free nation gradually constricting its grip on public discourse has begun its rapid slide into despotism.

Beware of he who would deny you access to information, for in his heart he deems himself your master.

Not sure what variant of SVN you were using that didn't support branching, everyone I knew used branches.

It did have problems with occasional inexplicable tree conflicts, which I do not miss. But that's the same as the pain of trying to rebase in git when things have diverged and it just starts spewing repeated conflicts for each and every commit. In either case, the easiest thing to do is make a fresh branch, patch your changes over, and go from there vs. trying to reintegrate the broken branch.
A bit off topic, but I am looking at TPUs at the moment. Can I ask for clarity if you mean TPUs are easier to use than GPUs out vice versa?

I thought TPUs are harder to work with because they only support Tensorflow rather than Tensorflow and other high-level frameworks as well as low-level CUDA that are supported by GPUs
> I would default to a much stronger preference for the original article-the author/editor probably put more thought into the title, and destroying their creative work shouldn't be routine.

And what's routine? How often are titles changed? How often is this viewed as beneficial to the majority, and how often is it viewed as detrimental?

If you're looking for a set of rules that result in the best solution every time, you're going to be disappointed. Whatever solution you come up with, even if it perfectly matched your sensibilities, would be misapplied in some instances because people are responsible for applying it.

The real question is how good of a job is being done on editorializing the submission titles already, and going off what we can remember of past instances is IMO worse than useless, it's likely rife with multiple forms of cognitive bias.

There's probably a good discussion to be had as to how well the title editorializing is here, but it rarely happens in response to someone posting about a specific title. If I had to guess, the discussion resulting from the post in the recent past about the site that tracked all HN submission name changes (which I never got a chance to read closely) might have some good discussions (as that data set is probably a good base to explore this topic usefully).

> The design of Bitcoin where security is supported by fees to get into blocks is established in the Bitcoin whitepaper and has been in the software since day one.

Many transactions paying low fees can support security just as well as few transactions paying high fees. I'd say even better as people will stop using Bitcoin or move to other cryptocurrencies when fees grow.

Saying that the "fee market" (or "blockspace market" if you want) is supported by the white paper extremely dishonest. The blocksize limit was only meant as a temporary spam protection, not to enforce higher fees. Zero fee transactions were on the other hand accepted from day one.

NZ used to have subsidies but they got rid of it. Good for them. Fonterra is their big co-op. But with Chinese investment/ownership, most of it is going towards milk powder for export. They posted a loss for the first time last year. Canada has subsidies but different from American. They use a system called Supply Management. They make smaller family farms work better and will survive unlike American dairy. We have more CAFOs and factory farms that are not ecologically and environmentally sustainable in the long run. It’s a mess.
This share by communicating mantra needs to die. Channel based code in go has a tendency to require nontrivial cleanup. Each time you need to compose a channel you you end up introducing another goroutine (for example just to map a type or merge multiple channels). Now that goroutine needs to be closed, then you end up with an additional close channel, and sometimes you need to drain channels to prevent locks.

They are not universally a bad thing, but total avoidance of sync package primitives is a bad idea (and much slower in many circumstances)

This gives a good analysis:
