It will ship Intel based laptops for at least a couple more years (at the very least, the models that will already be out at the switch), and will support them for a lot more; so just buy the best intel based once following the switch, and it will last you 4-5 more years.

But also: Getting a cloud windows station or an el-cheapo-$500-under-the-desk-when-you-really-need-it Windows machine is probably worth it if you're doing professional work. It would quickly cost much less than the time you lose when rebooting to the the other OS, from my experience.

Can someone address the argument of:

Writing tests for everything (or almost everything) as proposed by TDD results in... more code to maintain.

This is the argument most teams have had that I’ve observed which resulted in little to no tests added.

The Nikon 1 line, with exception of the J5 (which used Sony's sensor), used sensors made by Aptina.

Aptina's sensors were pretty spectacular from an AF perspective in that they had phase-shift AF on-sensor in 2011. The AF was as close as you could get to DSLRs on a mirrorless camera for quite some time. It's just too bad that Nikon came up with a weird set of 1st generation Nikon 1 cameras that made no sense to anybody.

IIRC, Aptina ended up cross-licensing their patents to Sony.

I'm conflicted on this, it's kind of the worse of both worlds, they mark your data as deleted in the database and you don't have access to it anymore but they can keep using it indefinably as long as they don't fuck up and some legislation forces them to delete it. So now only they have access to your data but you don't anymore.

Anecdote: I was really happy about the data Google maps saved about me a couple of weeks ago when I got a letter from the migration agency which asked me to send in a list of my journeys abroad since 2017. The list was supposed to have: date traveling out, date coming back, country and purpose. Last year I was abroad 19 times and 126 of the 355 days, without Google maps collecting the data in the background for me I would have no chance in hell to get it right, and I guess the migration agency has access to this kind of data too so they can double check if I was telling the truth or not.

But in 2018 when Google introduced the possibility to mark my data as deleted, I clicked the button and lost the ability to see the data for 2017 and early 2018 which I really regretted now, because I needed to try to come up with dates and countries according to photos on my phone which had GPS coordinates and my DSLR which had just the dates.
I've been happily using my Panasonic G3 for years for hiking/backpacking/skiing. The key features for me are the small weight and size of the body and lenses, and the electronic viewfinder. I've been thinking about upgrading the body recently, but all the newer G series are much bigger and heavier, and the GF and GX series don't have a viewfinder. What's the best choice for me in the M43 world? (Or which system should I look at instead?)

Hey there, I'm an engineer on Relay. Our PM is busy so thought I'd jump in here.

Great question on why we went with YAML instead of our own DSL. The main reason is, really, YAML has become a bit lingua franca for managing configuration of tools similar to Relay. We wanted to keep Relay simple and make it as familiar as possible. So YAML was our go-to choice.

We have some control flow primitives that you can configure but to do really complicated logic we figured it's best to push that in to the steps versus the configuration (there by keeping the configuration simple). Here's a link to our (very simple) conditional execution docs: https://relay.sh/docs/using-workflows/conditionals/

Hi HN, this is a side project I've been quietly working on in bits and pieces over the past 9 months for my own use.

It's (yet another) project management tool built out of frustration with JIRA. When planning out engineering projects I'd often get together with my team to whiteboard a graph of what depends on what, so we'd know what we can work on next concurrently. But entering those tasks into JIRA and setting up dependencies would take longer than the whiteboarding session itself.

There are a lot of things I'd like to do with it, but I thought it was time to share it with the world first and see if there's any interest in it.

Some future ideas:

- Simultaneous collaboration/multiplayer mode
- Assigning loose estimated ranges for each task's time, then using Monte Carlo to estimate the time to complete a goal.
- Loose priorities
- Kanban (that can automatically pop new tasks into todo when they're unblocked)
- Mobile support
- JIRA export
Very easy to use a modal if I’m editing other parts of UI.

I'm working on a resume builder[1] and have spent a fair amount of time talking with hiring managers and recruiters. I can confirm that the vast majority of them are unhappy with their ATS — even recruiters.

How do you plan to accept applications? Many of our customers have asked us to build something that prefills the application pages with data from their resume, because they find the applications repetitive and annoying. I realize the applicants aren't you customer, but I'm curious of you have thought about it.

Also, do you plan to support automatic parsing of pdf/docx resumes?

This doesn't need to happen, but this is the logical conclusion when we ensure most of the housing market is controlled by landlords rather than owned directly by the people living there. Also, when you turn housing into an investment vehicle. Also, remove any and all public housing alternatives. Also fail to build enough housing to create competition in the housing market. Also demolish housing stock serving poorer residents. Also fail to provide the transportation network to make transit from the suburbs cheap and easy. Also concentrate a bunch of upper-middle-class people in an area suffering from all of the above problems.

There are forks of Bitcoin that solve (most of) these problems and make it more usable as an actual currency, rather than a gold-like store of value. "Bitcoin Cash" is the most famous, there are others.

Frankly the failure of "original" Bitcoin to adapt to use as a currency seems to me to be a total failure of vision.

I have no idea what makes chrisseaton so passionate and adamant that CRTs commonly had resolutions higher than common LCD panels today but I had basically this exact same argument several days ago. I actually remembered it because they wrote almost the same comment word for word. For some reason they are convinced that all old CRTs were commonly 2k and 4K resolutions and the existence of cheap 4k LCD panels doesn’t excuse the fact that it’s still possible to buy a 1080p screen (which is I guess a bad thing?)

Some people have unusual passions I guess.

People accuse us of secretly siding with their enemies when they get moderated. That's cheap and frankly rather silly. The opposite side makes the opposite accusations.

Re "spam CPC accounts", concoctions like that are also a cheap-and-rather-silly thing that internet users come up with when they don't like what other internet users say.

It's not the case that advertisers will get the same results, they just won't be able to see/attribute them. Rather, ad platform targeting will be far worse without attribution, and so advertisers won't be able to invest as much in ads while getting the same ROI.
I frequently have to do engineering projects in many of *stans, and African countries (currently stuck in one thanks to quarantine.)

Very often, using a "fixer" is the only way to do anything, as the "proper way" to do things is defunct as such (like entire ministry offices, and sections only working on the paper)

I'm genuinely scared by how much those "fixers" can do, as it seems to be no red line whatsoever on what even a man of my meagre income by tech industry standards can get with them.

A pocket change of a man making low 6 digit income can make section chiefs of ministries running circles around you.

One time had a problem with digital signature server of a tax office being down few days prior to the filing deadline. Called a fixer, fixer calls "a man in the ministry" with the same name, and surname as a vice-minister, 10 minutes later a fax with a tax certificate pops. Later I learned that thousands of companies in entire country had to pay huge fines for late filling because government server was down, and none of them were given any leniency.

It was expensive initially, but prices shot way down when I got my first N1 camera, a J1. I still have a V1 and a J5 in addition to my M43 gear.

The tech was pretty good right down to the end of the line. The J5 is a pretty fantastic camera. Basically a Sony RX100 (it is a Sony sensor unlike the Aptinas in its predecessors) with interchangeable lenses.

I still prefer the handling of my J5 over my Micro 4/3 cameras. The J5 is what the V1 should have been on day 1.

The lens ecosystem was small (I have most of the "affordable" ones), but they happened to be in the focal lengths that matched up to my favorites on my APS-C DSLR at the time. The one thing I loved about the N1 was how small they were. I could carry multiple bodies and lenses in a small bag that would be filled up by one dslr and two lenses.
Pro tip, from an actual pro: you can't copyedit your own copy.

Lots of reasons why, including, your inability to recognize problems you are unaware of; the inexorable fact of reading what you think you wrote, not what is on the page; inability to see logical problems, missing assumptions, etc. Ad infinitum.

There are line-level hacks which can help with some of this, e.g. reading backwards to find typographic and spelling error...

...but there is no general solution.

Suggested fix: find a professional peer and become their formal editing buddy. Define terms and scope, this is not peer review–it is simply copy editing.
There's a very simple rule of thumb: must the user give some feedback before it makes any sense to use the rest of the site? If so, it's fine to use a modal. Otherwise, don't. Some examples:

Payment page: not a modal. The user might want to add more stuff to the cart, even when they are literally one click away from purchasing. Blanking out the rest of the page means they now have to work around the site to buy more stuff.

Error message: not a modal. The user is vanishingly unlikely to report an error immediately (obviously it's logged in any case), and probably just wants to try again with slightly different input.

Irreversible action confirmation: not a modal. For the same reason as the payment page, the user might want to do something else before retrying the irreversible action. Just display a prominent message so the user knows the action is not yet done. Or, if at all possible, implement undo instead.

My job depends on it: OK, use a modal. We forgive you.
The problem you still run into with Sony (especially if you're on a budget) is that if you go Nikon or Canon there's decades of used lenses you can pop right on your body and go to town (to at least some level).

This impacts both what choices you have, as well as what you can expect to pay for a given set/quality of glass.

To Wit: A Canon 10-18 is ONE THIRD the cost of the Sony E-mount 10-18. Yes, the Sony has a constant F4 aperture and the Canon doesn't. And yeah, on the other end Canon has the 11-24 f4 L, and yeah it's at least double the price of the Sony.

tl;dr - Sony's issue is you usually just have midrange options for everything, even if you really want a lower end lens that just hits the right range.
The more important question: do the people paying you care if it’s good design? Because the people who have paid me thus far in my career have not cared.

You have a contractual relation with your ISP and they're in your jurisdiction so at least in theory you have legal recourse.

Advocating for ESNI on the other hand means argueing for more centralization towards entities which are far more removed from you where you have little recourse. So as far as incentives go they may be more beholden to some law enforcement agency than you the non-customer.

There are difference, but it does not appear to be an obvious improvement to me.

I find your certainty about something you appear to know nothing about mind boggling. Every crash is a deficiency of sorts, so let’s just tell Airbus to build planes that don’t crash! Easy! Let’s just have peace instead of war! Obvious!

It is not sufficient to point out “obvious deficiencies”, one must also point out possible improvements. As other posters (with more patience than I can muster) have pointed out, it is not obvious how to improve this. Putting a lock in place to prevent movement of the lever adds another level of complexity that can itself fail. This is well known and has been extensively studied (a classic paper is No good deed goes unpunished: Case studies of incidents and potential incidents caused by protective systems [0]).

Listen, for example, to this episode of “Undercover Economist” Tim Hartford’s Cautionary Tales [1] (though the example given might itself be problematic [2]).

Airplanes are extraordinarily safe already (look at the amazingly low accident rate, given those fallible, sometimes even negligent and incompetent people that fly them).

Contrary to your facile assertion “There is lots of room for improvement”, there are very few obvious improvements. Change something and you might prevent one accident but enable another one.

As an example: terrorists enter the cockpit. Easy, obvious: lock the door! Ok. Suicidal pilot locks out the other pilot and flies into a mountain. Easy, obvious: unlock the door. GOTO 10. It’s not obvious. These are hard problems that many competent people have thought about in depth. That’s why “everyone” is so “intent on defending the status-quo”.

In other areas, there might be “obvious improvements”, eg regulatory matters, but even there it’s not easy. Aviation is operating within an international framework, there are rules and international treaties and regulatory bodies and stakeholders and so on.

But my main point is that it’s absurd to accuse Airbus of overlooking an obvious improvement without even a cursory understanding of the matter.

It encrypts your DNS traffic over the public wire in a way that only the DOH endpoint operator can decrypt, preventing plaintext interception/modification attacks by unauthorized malicious actors positioned between you and the DOH endpoint

It represents your DNS traffic over the wire as encrypted HTTPS traffic, which decreases the effectiveness of deep packet inspection and traffic shaping systems operated by some network providers.

When hosted at heavily-used CDN endpoints that receive other (non-DOH) HTTPS traffic, it requires a network provider who wishes for whatever reason to block your DNS traffic to block all HTTPS traffic to all CDN endpoints.
