Well, there's Raspberry Pi with RISC OS, I guess.

AmigaOS is still being actively developed, and there's even a new computer -- called the Vampire V4 -- that will run 68k AmigaOS and software, much faster with the ability for modern addons like USB. AmigaOS 4.x is for PowerPC machines which can get pricey.

But if you're looking to buy a modern PC with an "it just works" OS that asks no effort of you -- nope. See, the thing about putting in no effort is, somebody has to put it in. So effort that you don't take responsibility for yourself, you delegate to the vendor -- and you give them license for the same shenanigans Apple and Microsoft are getting up to. Restricting what apps you may run, tracking you through telemetry, and forcing updates on you is perfectly good business sense if you want to cater to the clueless but cannot handle the volume of support calls from them or the risks they present.

In reality you're probably best served with some common Linux distro. There is probably more software and hardware support for Linux than there is for AmigaOS or RISC OS, which are today primarily of specialty or historical interest and only kept alive because, for example, Amiga people are too stubborn to admit that the Amiga boarded the White Ship bound for the Undying Lands a quarter century ago.
From my perspective, we are fortunate to have a lot of customers and tons of feedback on what they want us to build for them. The most effective way for us to help deliver what customers want is to listen directly to their voluntary feedback. That helps us more deeply understand our customers through their individual stories and anecdotes, rather than looking at the averages that come from statistics and general surveys.

For Amazon Aurora, there are a lot of additional features in development, including offering Graviton2-powered instances. I expect that will deliver price and performance benefits for customers, but it's not the only benefit that's in the works.
If career criminals and gangs had vast resources it’s unlikely they would be career criminals (at least at a street crime level).
I fondly remember CFengine. Though it did require installation on the host to be managed, but that seemed rather simple: Log in, install CFengine and git, clone the repo, and off you go to run it.
I don't know about the latest versions, but I don't recall any shenanigans from ChromeOS in developer mode, as of about 3 years ago. I'm sure if my impressions from 1000+ days ago aren't still valid, someone will be along to correct me being Wrong On The Internet(tm). :-)
It's a good distinction, so I asked what would happen in each of the three cases. I think that's one of the trickiest parts of this concept.

In a country as armed and violent as the United States, escalation happens quickly and dangerously. We've all seen videos of officers pulling a car over for speeding and being executed the moment they look away, there's been more than a few in the past couple months alone [1] [2] [3]. Nearly any situation can become lethal for the officer and civilians [4], so I think it's fair to ask in what situations there would be an armed responder.

I have been using KeePass for years. Why should I go to KeePassX or KeePassXC?

Their FAQs isn't too convicing!

> KeePass is a very proven and feature-rich password manager and there is nothing fundamentally wrong with it. However, it is written in C# and therefore requires Microsoft's .NET platform. On systems other than Windows, you can run KeePass using the Mono runtime libraries, but you won't get the native look and feel which you are used to.
KeePassXC, on the other hand, is developed in C++ and runs natively on all platforms giving you the best-possible platform integration.
I much prefer the chef experience because I like Ruby - and I used Chef solo at Airbnb for years. However The fact that chef recipes are Ruby means that there’s no static analysis or interoperability available in Chef land. I can read and write Ansible playbooks in any language. Chef I can only use from Ruby.

Migrating from Chef to XXX was an enormous pain. It’d be easier to migrate away from Ansible.
> For dividend investment, it would, since the companies will have less profit post tax, but if you think about it holistically, that's like the best thing to tax. You have a well established business, that's no longer growing or doing so very slowly, and it is making excess money even after paying all its employees and expenses. It seems a very good place to take from and redistribute.

There are two issues there. The first is that it's a long-term fail, because the "cash cow" stage is where investors make back their money that was invested during the growth stage in a company that wasn't then paying dividends. If you tax them away, the market value of the company crashes as soon as it hits the cash cow stage, and then who is going to invest at the growth stage when that's their ultimate outcome? So you destroy investment in new companies.

And the second is that it promotes malinvestment, because rather than paying dividends to investors who reinvest them in promising new companies, you create the incentive for the corporation to remain in the growth state indefinitely and use all of its profits to continually expand, even into markets outside of its competency. Then you get huge inefficient conglomerates, which is much as we've seen.

What you really want is to make dividends a tax deduction from corporate income tax, but still taxable to the shareholder. Then they cancel out from a government revenue perspective but you lose the perverse incentive to grow the corporation without bound.

> Think about the alternative sources of revenue for the government here? What could be better then that?

VAT actually works really well. You get to a similar result from the other side: VAT and corporate income tax are really almost the same thing, but instead of deducting dividends from corporate income tax, the corporation has to collect VAT but there is no income tax on the dividends. And it has the further advantage that it's paid to the jurisdiction of final sale rather than wherever a multinational corporation contrives its "profits" to be declared.
In the US? Because in many countries I'm aware of there are business profit taxes...

I am not an apple fanboy, but I was under the impression that the major selling point of Apple is that you don't _need_ to be that kind of developer. A lot of things that are very fiddly on Linux just work on macos.
Thank you. Do you think the side panels (especially the dynamic one on the left) are a part of the Mapbox interface, or something separate?
How is OAuth centralizing auth? It's generally used for one of two things: 1) Single Sign-On - something that generally increases the security of applications under one organization, where authentication has to be shared one way or another, and 2) "social login" - something that takes a website from being its own and only auth provider to supporting multiple external providers.

2) is the exact opposite of centralization and 1) is basically equivalent to dynamic linking which, while "centralization" in theory, is generally considered a good security practice.
I think Halide is a great name for this app’s target audience: photo nerds.

This app ain’t no Snapchat clone so you can give yourself cat eyes and freakishly smooth skin. It trying to suck as much data and control as possible out of the iPhone’s camera system. And for the people who are into that, they get the name.
This makes sense--allowing or preventing a particular instance of the interpreter to make side effects is perfectly reasonable. It would be concerning if all instances of the interpreter allowed client programs to make side effects.
Yeah. Let me put it this way: I will be buying the Ergo Sculpt until I can't find it online anymore, or MS comes out with an updated model.
Objective-C and Cocoa are not deprecated.
We aren't blocking on upstream for these improvements. You're right that it is easy to optimize only the engine builds that are executing via RDS deployments. But getting optimizations upstream as far as possible yields the maximum downstream effect. And we want open-source software to run exceptionally well on all Arm processors, including Graviton2, no matter who you get your binaries from, or if you build them yourself.
I don’t think dictionary.com was available to the framers of the US constitution, and I’m guessing that the Supreme Court would draw on some other sources too.

It’s interesting because the dictionary.com definition is very constrained.

Avoiding dissention, and not being ‘argumentative’ seem like a stretch for describing most peaceful protests in the US.

The people not making their living outside the law don't need more police and they sure as shit don't need more militarized police. The largest group of people who are making their living outside of the law can easily be made to not be doing that by an act of congress.
Yep, if you want safety you have to make hardware impliment it at an op level. Anything else is a false promise that will be exploited and unfixable. GPU is far worse than CPU in this, and even still intel has entirely unfixable spectre vulnerabilities.

We need to stop trying to make software mitigations and start putting pressure on hardware designers.
I’ve used fastmail with a custom domain for years now. Works great.
That seems pretty convincing if you want to easily open your KeePass file on Linux without dealing with Mono. I do that quite often.
How naive. Police officers will put on a face covering helmets but general public would be labeled as terrorist when they put a similar helmet on.
Every Communist must grasp the truth, "Political power grows out of the barrel of a gun." Our principle is that the Party commands the gun, and the gun must never be allowed to command the Party.

It's easy to wonder how the government would collect taxes without armed police. Or confiscate guns if stricter gun control laws are created. The reality is, of course, that they merely want to defund or disarm this version of the police.
I think you might find that in a certain way it is. 90% to 99% is an extra nine.

Maybe you mean McFlurry (Blizzards were Dairy Queen). Basically the same thing, but not sure if whoever said that was specifically talking about Blizzards.
The App Store definitely has its capital-I Issues, but the way it handles subscriptions really isn't one of them -- you can cancel online with no hassle, and you're sent an email reminder before you're charged or your subscription renews. (This is at least true with annual subscriptions; I don't know about monthly offhand.) And you can always check what you're subscribed to, when things will renew, and for how much.
When it’s hard to do something in Nix, it’s really hard. Let’s say you download a
random binary which isn’t part of the Nix distribution — it is unlikely that you can run
the binary; you may need to run ldd or nm to check the headers or construct the LD_LIBRARY_PATH
manually. So many random build scripts assume certain things like cp exists in /bin/cp or use
absolute paths (looking at you Python) that I tend to find I’m yak-shaving pretty often.

The documentation for Nix… is special. I’ve never seen any configuration need to explain the fixed-point [1]
in order to do something which should be pretty simple.

On the other hand, when it works, it works brilliantly. I have projects where I want to fetch some random URL,
or build some randomly generated C file; previously which I would have just said sod-it and checked it into the
repository. Being able to share crafted environments ala direnv to colleagues and the continuous-integration
is magical. Having per-project environment management which doesn’t require 3-4 tools like virtualenv, nvm,
docker, docker-compose is really nice.

If it was being integrated, the cost would be more like 5 dollars, since the ntp unit could just be an esp8266 chip that connects to the store wifi to sync the time.
> Also, while reading the .pdf of the lawsuit against google, one of the key points is that you can't fork android or uninstall google software.

Except you can and you don't need Google's permission to do it either. Many devices come with unlockable bootloaders, and all custom ROMs come without anything Google so you actually have to install Google apps manually should you want them.
I have the same problem except it is the battery pack for my original Sony Aibo (1st gen robot dog.) I had the cells replaced once using an eBay service but they didn't last very long.

This phenomenon is well-known, probably more so than Wim Hof. You’d think a ‘learning guru’ would learn about the potential risks of holding ones breath underwater while hyperventilating before attempting it!
But that's work, and might be done more efficiently by someone in the business of doing that, who has contacts with potential buyers or is selling off the properties of multiple different companies etc.
CircleCI offers build caching that works well enough, for example. It's not the super advanced stuff that Bazel can do, but you don't need Bazel to do build caching.

When the Linux kernel (~27 million LoC) can be compiled from scratch in under a minute on modern machines (30 seconds on some of the beefier machines)... there's clearly a lot of low-hanging fruit in that "hours long" compilation that has nothing to do with build caching.

Whether you can get stakeholders to buy into paying down technical debt or not is an unrelated discussion. Sometimes it's easier to sell fancier build systems as the solution instead of better code organization and simplifying overly generic code.

C++ code doesn't have to be super slow to compile: https://www.zverovich.net/2017/12/09/improving-compile-times...

He has said multiple times that orders are "placed". He also said they aren't "executed". Based on what other people are saying here about McDonald's workflow, it sounds like a placed order wouldn't actually be executed unless he shows up to the store. That is probably what is happening here. It may be "reasonably harmless" but it is still not a nice thing to do just for fun and 15 minutes of internet fame.

EDIT: I'm not sure why, but moderators have detached this line of comments from where I was originally replying. I really don't think questioning the ethics of something like this is out of line on HN, but I can understand the phrase "kind of an asshole move" might have upset some people. Since this is the only comment I can still edit, I will just throw in the clarification of context that detaching this comment might have removed. The "asshole move" I was referring to is the practice of brute forcing this information through an internal McDonald's API by sending $18k worth of orders every minute.
Sorry. You should have gotten the upgrade for free. There was a bug checking the receipt for who qualifies for the free upgrade, due to differences between the App Store's sandbox and production receipts.

We rushed out a fix as quickly as possible, and this should now be fixed. If you contact support, we'll make things right.

In fact, police have no obligation of duty to you as an individual in almost any scenario.
>In both of your 1950s examples, those expenditures flowed into the greater economy resulting in multiple additional taxable transactions while also supporting the livelihoods of one or more other economic participants.

You're shifting the goalposts. First you were claiming that taxes don't generally spur avoidant behavior. Now you're claiming they do[1], and we want that.

Which is itself dubious. I'm pretty sure "we" don't want people to unilaterally exempt themselves from taxes by relabeling consumption as a business expense. (In the extreme case, imagine you can just pass on every desired purchase as a "wish list" to your employer and they buy it for you, "as a business expense" leaving you with no taxable income. Obviously the IRS has to crack down on that, and no one would call that "things working as intended".)

And we definitely don't want real resources going to gaming of the tax code, which is socially wasteful.

[1] and in the next paragraph, the tack of "but it's cool, they're gonna crack down on that later".
As a conservative Evangelical myself (and former Catholic) I didn't find Francis's announcement shocking, nor did I disagree with it. I am strongly opposed to gay marriage, but not allowing gay civil unions is hard to justify. Can we really argue that because we are Christians we should get tax breaks and other legal privileges that certain (that is, homosexual) unbelievers are not entitled to?

It doesn't really matter what you think about BLM or any other group/cause. It's very questionable to start applying ideological purity tests when you don't need them. Code works or it doesn't, you don't need to examine the soul of every would be contributor on every possible issue. In fact doing so is divisive and counterproductive to society as a whole.

I have as well, and that's why I have my opinion that they aren't squalor, at least not guaranteed. I lived in one crappy apartment when I was in college because it was dirt cheap. After I got a job, I spent maybe 20-40% more on apartments up to my last one (which cost a lot more, but was in a great location for me, walking distance to my MMA gym and all my hangout spots). None of them were crappy, I rarely heard my neighbors. And the only truly obnoxious neighbors were evicted after the police were called for a combination of noise and indecent exposure (their guests went skinny dipping in the apartment pool).

I live in the suburbs now, and with regard to noise it's no better than the apartments except my first crappy apartment, and the brief time next to the obnoxious neighbors. My next door neighbors on one side are great, on the other side they're dicks and fight constantly and loudly. Across the street are two houses one with a muscle car and the other some kind of loud motorcycle, both are project vehicles. So I get to hear them revving their engines in the evening (too early to warrant filing a complaint, but still very obnoxious).

There's nothing magical about apartments that make them bad, or houses that make them good. The best you could hope for with regard to general quality of life (particularly noise and pests caused by poor hygiene from your neighbors) is to live in the country hundreds of feet (at least) from neighbors with trees in between. But then you forfeit access to everything else since nothing is close without having to drive.
