Oh yeah I trigger caps all the time too! I do think the slightly concave keys help, assuming the meta/modifier keys are flat or convex. It’s one more tactile hint when you overshoot your target key. It also looks like the newer version has increased spacing between keys overall, which probably helps too.
Books can be ads or filled with ads.
>I'm sure there's a good reason why employers lobby so hard to keep wages down

Yeah, because demand also drops when prices go up. Whether that's "good for everyone else" is debatable. Fast food? Maybe. Groceries? Probably not.
Squash merge is for people who are so wedded to the idea that you should guess why the code is the way that it is instead of looking it up, that they want to make sure nobody else can do it either.

You know, assholes.

It’s fine if you don’t want to use something, or use it, as long as it doesn’t drag your whole team into your decision. Which squash merge does.
Huh?... developer mode on an Android device doesn't even give you root access (which isn't that powerful these days due to SELinux), much less "infinite control": if you want to modify the lock screen or how notifications work or any other myriad things that Android doesn't provide extensibility points for, you need to jailbreak your device, just as you would for iOS. Some devices provide the ability to do an official "bootloader unlock", which actually gives you real control, but the vast majority do not.

(aside) The lack of basic understanding of how all of these restrictions work is so annoyingly pervasive that I have seriously been in arguments with people at conferences who are adamant about how open these Android devices are, and then when I challenge them what device they have they have a jailbroken Samsung on Verizon (the worst combo) and I have to walk them down memory lane to remind them of what exploit they must have downloaded (as I used to know most of the key players; I've taken a step back from the DEFCON scene, though, as the toxicity was getting to me).
Firstly repairability and the right to repair are distinct issues.

Surface Pro X and Galaxy Buds are great examples that show just compactness and relative repairability can coexist.
Just be glad the US has a relatively strong saving scheme like the 401k, without it everybody puts their money into real-estate. It has been happening in my country and has been going on for decades, causing house costs vs income to be way out of whack compared to US.
after having been involved in multiple products that relied on facebook, i would not be surprised if this was just their way to let developers know they discontinued the sdk. But don't worry they write a blog post when they bring out the successor in a few months.
Yes,this is true, for linguists. Colloquially, man-in-the-pub test, I'm less sure. you can rhyme some words in all the dialects, but you can also ask most dialect speakers about RP and they know what you're talking about because they codeshift to RP on-need. RP itself, is somewhat definitionally "correct" for ordinary mortals. Wrongly, but none the less, I am reasonably sure this is widely believed/understood.
Coinbase took a similar stance, lost 5% of their employee base, and it doesn't appear to have hurt them at all. In fact it may have accelerated their growth.

In the Midwest at least Basecamp is a highly desirable place to work for developers or designers.
No.

Also, "right to repair" doesn't mean manufacturers have to change their product designs in any way. iPhones today aren't hard to repair because they're thin, they're hard to repair because Apple ships DRM that checks the serial numbers of all the parts, so that it will refuse to work if you try to replace something.

Still a third, which has organizational consequences.

More importantly, this 20 people includes senior employees which cannot easily be replaced.

I feel like this analysis is missing the forest for the trees a little bit. The main premise is that exodus of tech brain to smaller hubs like Austin, Denver and Miami will help them grow. But if the assessment of the downsides to SF is merely that "cities don't die, they languish", that ignores the dynamic aspect of an economy, namely that it is the centralization aspect that made places like SF and NY the powerhouses in their respective flagship industries in the first place.

I saw a video recently about the Ogallala Aquifer (a large body of water that feeds the agricultural belt in central US). It argued that because state lines were drawn in a nearly arbitrary fashion, states are incentivized to compete against each other to develop/maintain their agricultural industries, even if that means draining the water unsustainably. It argues that a hypothetical megastate whose area encompasses the entirety of the aquifer would see that it's in its own interest to manage the aquifer efficiently and sustainably, rather than fight against neighbouring states in a tragedy of the commons.

`s/water/VC money + talent/` and I think you can see where we're going with this. Could the next Apple be born in Denver? Could the next Google be born in Miami? You could arguably look at Toronto, Canada as an example of what sort of level of innovation one could reasonably expect from a local growing hub. But if hypothetically, the SF tech scene were to actually die (or be irreparably crippled by the tech exodus), I'd think the US as a whole would lose a major economic/technological edge, especially compared to places like China.

Is that "good for the US"? Perhaps so for the folks that can ride the growth in the local hubs. Perhaps their locals will also come to loathe techies. But alas, perhaps it won't be so good after all, if it means the existing tech giants will never again see worthy competition/disruption, and if it means that the US starts seeing technological advances originating from other countries while no longer able to sprout them at the scale that today's tech giants have been able to in the past.
AWS's availability zones are unlike Google Clouds AZs, as they are physically meaningfully distant.

A geological or technical event near one AWS AZ is highly unlikely to also affect the others of that region, unless the event is regional (heh) in scale. For Google Cloud, the AZs are effectively co-located buildings (or at least, Eemshaven has 3 GC AZ DCs at < 1km distance from each other), making even local disruptions reasonably likely to impact availability for the whole region.
For hyper-v you can use PowerShell to manage VM's, see the details here: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/virtualization/hyper-v-on-w...

I use Hyper-v for years and I rarely create new VMs, this is why I use GUI, it is convenient if you don't do this often enough to remember the syntax and params. Most people that I know are in the same boat, but for mass deployments or automated deployments PowerShell is the way to go.
A C++ pure abstract class is equivalent to a Java interface.
This is an option in many tools, but it doesn't tend to work that well in practice.

I do agree that this is the ideal though (As an example if Pluto is always reactive, then this workflow becomes much more difficult as when you change a downstream datapoint, the model will be re-run).
Certainly in the city here, the very last motels and motor courts have a rather terrible reputation, known to law enforcement and EMT alike, though perhaps foreign to fumigators. Further out, though, along the faded remnants of Route 66, you can see any number of ghost motel properties. Some appear shockingly well-kept. Others I have watched decay until finally bulldozed into plots of dirt which hopefully await a gas station.

I do prefer a motel over a hotel: less distance to travel when hauling luggage, a bit more private, which I suppose contributes to that "seedy" reputation. It's just a shame they still seem to cost almost hotel prices.
I had a related idea, to make a running program produce an audible hum like a car engine would. And the hum would vary depending on what paths of the program are executing, so you get an idea what/how your code is "doing" by listening in.
Agree. FWIW, in Epic's battle, they also chose to sue Google; we just don't hear as much about the case.

Show HN: Second-Chance Pool
HN's second-chance pool is a way to give links a second chance at the front page. Moderators and a small number of reviewers go through old submissions looking for articles that are in the spirit of the site—gratifying intellectual curiosity—and which seem like they might interest the community. These get put into a hopper from which software randomly picks one every so often and lobs it randomly onto the lower part of the front page. If it interests the community, it gets upvoted and discussed; if not, it falls off.

We started doing this in late 2014. There's an explanation at https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11662380, with links back to others. We've talked about it in comments and whatnot (https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&que..., https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&que...), and have intended to publish the list, but only did so recently. We're slow.

If you see a submission that didn't get attention and which you think is particularly good for HN, please tell us at hn@ycombinator.com! We love getting those requests and usually add them to the pool. It's fine if it's your own article, but we like it better when it's just something you ran across and recognized as good. That's more the kind of interest that HN is for.

A related list is https://news.ycombinator.com/invited. Those are old submissions that we ran across and thought deserved attention, so we emailed and asked the submitter to repost it. Yesterday's top story was one of these (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26982286). They all go into the second-chance pool, but maybe it's interesting to see them broken out as a subset too. (If you don't have an email address in your profile, please put one in so we can send you repost invites!)

If you read the old explanations I linked to, you'll see that the original plan was to turn this system into software that anyone can participate in, likely as a new way to earn karma: users who discover second-chance links that hit the jackpot (that is, which interest the community) would get karma along with the original submitter. That is still the plan! We're just slow.

I think that's about everything there is to say about the second-chance pool. Questions, feedback, ideas, and views are welcome as ever. And please, everybody keep an eye out for obscure, out-of-the-way stories that got overlooked and let us know when you run across them. It's one of the best things you can do to help make this place more interesting. Best of all are the kind that can't be predicted from any existing sequence: https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&sor....

I mean, let’s be fair. No sales tax is extremely nice when buying almost anything, including cars, computers, groceries, furniture, etc. I think it’s pretty great! I’d rather have no sales tax across the board and then a handful of individual items with higher tax.
TSMC had 17 billion USD profit last year, right? How come they are unable to triple or in fact pay 10 times they already pay? It's simple greed in my book.

Apple runs APNS which handles delivery of non-local notifications to all iOS devices.
Because recruitment from TSMC to China is not an ordinary labor market. TSMC vs SMIC has huge geopolitical implications for Taiwan, China, and the world at large even. Most companies don't have "CCP's intelligence services are going to spend millions to entice, bribe, or coerce our key engineers to jump ship" as part of their recruiting concerns.

As for point 2, TSMC's financials are public. They spend ~30 million a year on payroll. On the other hand they expect to invest a total of 100 billion into their next generation fab over the next 3 years. The idea that penny pinching salary is what enables their capital spend is hilariously out of touch with the scale of the relative expenses.

In 2019 you could by 10 plus in the USA for 25 dollars a keg, plus shipping. Even cheaper if you were lucky. That translated into about £35 a keg here from a cheap homebrew shop, though many charged closer to £50 for the good ones. Now the prices are just higher. Not sure if supply has dried up, or the same supply and more buyers but all the homebrew shops I use have had brilliant years for profits.
>Some companies don't have to offer this information or can get away with locking down their devices because they are immune from competition.

The U.S. uses a progressive tax rate, meaning that only income above a "threshold" is subject to that tax rate (or a higher rate). The threshold for the proposed 70% rate is $1 million, so no middle class individual would be paying it. (And note that the thresholds are adjusted for inflation, automatically.)

The Tax Foundation was originally founded as a non-partisan think tank. In the 1990s, it shifted to a right-wing organization, and has generally issued nearly all of its "analyses" at the request of the GOP or its extremely conservative donors, including among them the Mercer family and the Koch brothers. Of crucial importance: the Tax Foundation has criticized every Democratic tax, and gushed over every Republican tax policy of the past 4 decades, and been completely wrong in the its analysis of the outcomes, to the extent that it is now a running joke in the tax community that the most likely outcome of a tax proposal is the opposite of what the Tax Foundation says it will be.

My comment notes that even the TF low-balling the tax proposal would raise over $150 billion; I did not specify a time-frame. Conventional analyses note that the tax proposal is expected to raise at least $290 billion of the next 10 years, and have proven more accurate than the "dynamic scoring" methodology used by the TF, which takes into account subjective ideological factors rather than data-based factors used by conventional scoring methodologies.

> When you squash merge a feature branch that has thousands of lines of code, and 6 months later you have a bug introduced by this feature branch, it becomes extremely hard to find which line introduced the bug.

The article makes an argument that each commit should be "a single logical change." Squashing thousands of lines of code from a long-running feature branches into a single commit is obviously not what the author is suggesting.
> Overall, Apple has not been a good steward of the App Store.

But the question on my mind is: what precedent are we setting by legally mandating what a corporation can do on a platform they solely built? And are we pulling up the ladder after the incumbents have climbed it?

It's one thing to mandate how much pollution a factory may leak into a shared water supply. But the Apple app store is not a utility or natural resource. Apple built it from nothing and they're its sole owner. If it's a crappy experience, the solution to me still seems to be to migrate to a competitor (I'm toying with the idea of trading my Galaxy for a Librem 5).

There seems to be a mentality that megacorps have to have their hand held to not be public menaces, but by doing this my fear is we fortify Goliath rather than giving David a shot to kill him. The main reason I see this hasn't happened yet is that we've let the giants get away with corporate murder (e.g. Facebook's acquisition of both Instagram and WhatsApp), not because innovation is dead.

And national regulation is a pretty patchwork solution anyway to corporations that can (and sometimes do) go toe-to-toe with national governments.
So yeah, re-buying clothes/brands is fine. But I spent a bunch of money on clothes online and ended up with stuff that is nice, but which feels weird (and with some too-small pockets).

I don't really know how one can solve for these kinds of issues online, even if we could CV together what clothes would look like on people (which is at least theoretically solvable with current technology).

And fwiw, clothes are like one of the things that everyone needs to buy, so online only is almost certainly not going to happen in this space.
This is a solved dilemma. Lets take the car - There's already a huge security hole: The car key.

That key disables all the security measures to stop the car from moving and lets the user drive it.

Why should the same key not also allow 3rd party parts to be installed, or disable any other security feature the user would like to disable?

The user has already been given a device the compromises the entire security system, why do you think they need to do anything as complex as store a private key (it's embedded in the physical key).

Same question for phones - The user's pin/password already removes essentially all functional security from the system. I'd add a requirement for a physical switch to be toggled in the case of the phone (a tiny toggle header, or a certain combination of presses on the available buttons should do just fine) to rule out network based access.

In general though, security measures added by the manufacturer always fail, because the user has to actually use the thing at some point.

So given we already have the hole, the only reasons I can come up with for continuing to forbid the owner of the device from actually owning it are

1. It adds cost to the product

2. It removes future revenue from the company (because that pesky owner might choose a cheaper repair shop if they actually own the device... however will the company maintain their monopoly on parts/service?!?!? Think of the children!)
