No, it's not typical to get US keyboard Macs in NL. All physical stores (and most online stores) including Media Markt and the official Apple store only stock ISO layout.

Fortunately it's simple to order the ANSI (US) layout in the online Apple store these days. (US English, not International English!). Up to maybe 10 years ago or so it was pretty hard to get it with US keyboards in Europe. (I usually imported them from the US via eBay.)
I was a big fan of the Mac semi-WYSIWYG tool PageSpinner, which would show you the raw source but style the tags more subtly, style the text accordingly (size and bold/italic), and had wizards to insert whatever tag you needed and resolve the relative hierarchical image paths required https://i.imgur.com/QIrXhyj.jpg

True but India does seem to be steeped in it. I once bribed someone in India accidentally and didn't realise what had happened till afterwards. That's how embedded it is in daily life. I can't imagine that happening anywhere else I've been and I've been a few places.
To many of the commenters that have almost certainly never fired a firearm, or maybe even held or seen one, it's the mere scariness of them--the boogeyman in their minds implanted by a corrupt media and political machine--that determines their danger.

I bought a Mac Mini in 2018 to replace my 2010 Macbook Pro. So that laptop lasted 8 years. The only reason I didn't buy a laptop instead of the Mini is I refused to buy anything with a touch bar. This is my first new personal laptop in 12 years and I'm so excited.

The base model Macbook Air in 2010 was $1299 which means that you get compute and product improvements following Moore's law at deflationary prices. Humans have a hard time understanding the value of power laws. What Apple has done has given us something nothing short of superpowers and we've gotten complacent and feeling entitled to these continuous improvements despite the unbelievable amount of human ingenuity required to make it all work out.

If I have a team member that is being a jerk then I will give them feedback on their personality, regardless of protected characteristics. The option is: Give feed back and they fix behavior, or they get fired. Toxic people have no place on my team.

EDIT: Unless they are doing so much more of the work then the others that they cant realistically be replaced, then I will allow them to be toxic but only so much they others people aren't quitting. OK there's is a little bit of hyperbole there but sometimes the best workers are not very socially palatable. I will still give them regular feedback on their poor attitude.

Show HN: 3D live tracking two climbers attempting a Sierra Nevada record

Hi HN, I built a website for tracking an attempt by two climbers to set the fastest known time (FKT) on a well-known list of 247 peaks in the Sierra Nevada.

While I hope you'll find the whole site interesting[1], the part most likely of interest to this community is the interactive 3D live tracking (the main link) and activity playback[2]. Here's a post describing its capabilities/controls[3].

I rolled my own 3D terrain renderer based on open aerial data (USDA NAIP), elevation data (USGS NED), and named locations (USGS BGN). A few points of difference from what you might see from Google, Mapbox, or Cesium:

- Fixed scene size. The scene is only big enough to capture the area of interest (the track) plus some contextual buffer.

- No incremental loading. This was the motivation behind the fixed scene size… once the imagery and elevation model are loaded, the scene runs at 60fps on just about any device. I want it to feel _fast_ and terrain, imagery, or feature data loading and unloading breaks that feeling.

- Compressed textures for imagery. In order to successfully load some of the larger scenes and to reduce imagery file sizes, I use basis_universal[4] texture compression. It's perfect for this sort of imagery: the reduced quality isn't too discernable and you get 8:1 reduction in on-GPU memory usage against standard RGBA images.

- Hand coded DEM compression. I hand rolled a DEM compression algorithm based on the ideas behind QOI[5]. It turned out to hardly be necessary because the poor quality of DEMs available in the Sierra Nevada make their size immaterial compared to imagery. That said, it was a successful effort insofar as it achieved better than bzip2 compression with O(n) encode/decode times.

- 3D-scene rectified photos. For the first third of the project I was manually hand rectifying photos into the 3D activity view[2], but, in the end, this was taking too much time day-to-day.

This has been my passion project for the last six months or so and, as someone who has climbed 89 of these peaks over 20+ years, it has been a real joy chronicling these guys' amazing efforts.

I hope you enjoy it. Any and all feedback welcome… thanks.

I still get occasionally likes for my tweet in that thread, 6 years later.
Building complex sentences absolutely require some form of logic. Different languages have very different rules for gender, plural, sexus, classes ( animated/humane/plants/etc).

I'm arguing that each implemented language in a program should be able to define its own set of utility functions that makes sense for that particular language.

Also, since translations as code can return both plain strings and (for example) HTML fragments, security is instead increased, because encoding/decoding would no longer be an issue.

Super bad advice for an immigrant, and questionable advice if you're not.

Please try to take this serious.
All good points, and all controversial. We're so used to looking at everything through a capitalist lens, that any policies designed to help the average working Joe seem quaint or even downright laughable:

"...there is no way to enforce any sort of responsibility..." <- funding enforcement

"...Worlds history says that trying to equalize everyones skills leads to skilled workers looking for greener pastures..." <- unions

"...so making companies responsible for governments decisions in giving away money to recipients that might not even be related to the industries the companies are operating in?..." <- this is the current lobbying system

"(companies paying national debt) ...that's...not how that works..." <- overruns are currently paid disproportionately by the working poor and future generations

"(starve the beast of multinational corporations) ...considering that many of those boogeyman corporations are the ones working on automation..." <- for themselves

From my perspective, we've created just about the least efficient, least equitable system possible. We have billions of people around the world toiling the entirety of their lives just to survive month to month. If they had any free time at all, they could work towards at least some level of autonomy. But that time is denied to them by the same corporations that profit from them. And we enthusiastically keep putting those corporations in charge of everything, because they provide the goods and services that we depend on. We keep re-creating global feudalism and aristocracy, to the point of even letting corporations gatekeep the way we live and work in the name of security, for a modest fee of course.

The fact that Apple and Google are at the leading edge of wealth inequality is perhaps the greatest tragedy of the modern era. It truly breaks my heart.

"can I have a life outside my work" isn't a serious question, it's just venting.

If it was a serious question, he could've solved it by googling, and the answer is yes, of course there's situations where you could have life outside of work. Half of the developers I know work 9 to 5, and I can google and see how others are doing. Instead, he's just venting. Which is understandable in his situation, but doesn't make it a serious question.

It means that, evidently, one could shoot more people with a semi-automatic rifle than with a handgun.

It's irrelevant only if you think that gun violence has a larger impact than gun killings. In my original comment, I argued about gun killings.

This seems... incorrect? http://www.fedex.com/us/about/overview/companies/express/Exp... indicates that they own 696 aircraft, and https://www.reuters.com/article/us-airline-fedex-orders/fede... says that they just bought 50 more in 2015. No mentions of a lease agreement here. In fact, according to Wikipedia, for smaller aircraft FedEx operates a dry lease business where they lease their fleet out to contractors to deliver certain routes:

In the United States (along with Morningstar Air Express in Canada), FedEx Express operates FedEx Feeder (and for Morningstar, mainline FedEx service) on a dry lease program where the contractor will lease the aircraft from the FedEx fleet and provide a crew to operate the aircraft solely for FedEx

I'm not sure that's relevant to this. This app just makes it easier to give police or security the information they ask for if you lose your child (note not necessarily kidnapped), like a photo, age, and height. And they claim the info is only stored locally. Maybe that claim is false, but if it was, then once that was discovered it would probably cause a lot of legal and PR problems for the FBI.
This comment makes me sigh. I know you will defend yourself with "what? I'm just stating a fact!" but saying stuff like this makes me really dislike you. I really like Apple products, does that make me a part of a cult? If yes, why? I wouldn't die for them, I wouldn't go through pain for them.
Sorry for the delay, I had to think about my response...

I think I know some good strategies, but I often fail to live by them still. Firstly, encourage written/async communication by setting a good example:

- Keep up-to-date written descriptions of projects and progress in a wiki that is available to all colleagues.

- Deliver high quality presentations on your research periodically. These don't have to be reserved for big public conferences.

- Send regular but concise status update e-mails to a list of likely interested colleagues. Advertise your wiki here.

- Send out edited meeting notes within a day or two of working meetings.

General advice I'd give my younger self is pretty cliche, but to trust in my abilities and the value I can provide by working in ways that are comfortable to me. It's more important to take care of my long term mental health than it is to be in the spotlight or maximizing output all the time. Quality work speaks for itself and doesn't need to be continually delivered. Don't get sucked in to false urgency. Delivering a couple of genuinely useful things per year (and publicizing those appropriately) is enough to keep you in people's minds but give you the space to think deeply about the real work.

I say this from a place of privilege though where, somehow, I've managed to accrue a large amount of experience and ended up in a secure research position. The company (and team) I work for give me a lot of autonomy and I have a very supportive manager.

Applying computational algebraic geometry to robotics sounds fascinating. What are some highlight papers in that area?
According to the Network Security/Safety (it's the same word in Chinese) Law, the network operator is responsible to ensure the security of their system, which includes 1) setting up security and auditing rules, 2) prevent virus, hacking and other attacks, 3) monitor and record the status of the network and perform backups etc.

The law has also stated that if an institution violated the law, and civil damages is generated as result, the institution is also responsible for the damage.

There is another law which might also apply to this case, it's called Data Security/Safety Law. This law also stated that the institution is responsible for civil damages if the institution has violated the law.

But, I'm not a lawyer and certainly not a Chinese lawyer. This situation is fairly complex already, it's hard for me to tell which direction this case would go.

I guess they'll investigate it first, but the company/team which worked on the project has probably already read the laws before, thus I assume they're well-prepared for this. Another twist is the programmer who accidentally published the secret database API key to the public network, this needs to be investigated as well to determine whether or not the key has actually been used in the attack.

So I guess in the meantime, the husbands must wait.

Odd. This is a promotional post and but because it has a fun headline no one seems to care.
I think you're mixing up two things: willingness to die, and the morality of the sacrifice.

Most of us will be scared shitless if we were in that situation, and I'm pretty sure the majority (me included) will act as a coward. But nobody would blame them, because we all know we would likely have done the same.

But on the other hand, we praise the heroes who sacrifice themselves because we recognize that they did the right thing, no matter how much it costed them.

I take you don't know anyone working at Apple.

There is plenty of good and bad, like everywhere.

Apple took tons of questionable decisions and pissed off a lot of customers (me included) but they're redeeming themselves by bringing ARM to the laptop world (which was long overdue).

Personally I'll run my current Mac to the ground and then I'll just have a (non Mac, hopefully ARM) desktop PC.
What annoys me about MKBHD's video is that he complains about an ageing design like it's a bad thing for the general case.

I laud any manufacturer that's come up with a time tested design that doesn't change, which is why the IBM Thinkpads of the day were so popular.

But in this specific case, MKBHD is right, this is an Apple being lazy about design and probably reusing their existing parts and tooling just to slap on an M2 for a laptop that probably shouldn't exist anymore.
Absolutely. We need to put our focus higher up the stream.
Easiest one IMO. Spare an evil baby who would gladly sacrifice every single person on this planet for some ridiculous thing they feel entitled to or spare five diligent elders?

> Or maybe the Linux desktop will just die because it was always obscure, unpopular and fragmented with a severe lack of developers.

I certainly believe that this is more likely than everyone transitioning to Wayland. And, when it inevitably does, I don't think the majority of people are going to pick Wayland to run their legacy systems on. If both desktop servers stopped development today, I reckon they'd have to pick the most-finished option.
> The conspiracy theory further proposes that world history prior to AD 1600 has been widely falsified to suit the interests of a number of different conspirators including the Vatican, the Holy Roman Empire, and the Russian House of Romanov, all working to obscure the "true" history of the world centered around a global empire called the "Russian Horde".

Sounds like he just played too much eu4.
Good idea, it's just I never thought twice about the cleanliness of a toothbrush. I guess it's been ingrained in me to think it's normal to run a toothbrush under water to "clean" it.
It's just normal backend, the product is less interesting than my current one.

Current team is in a state of panic since a few months ago and it's quite chaotic (which actually lets me train soft skills).

Current benefits are a lot better then the ones offered by the other company which are basic as far as the industry goes.

New stack has better potential long-term, current one short-term.
Kinda reminds me of how you "need to have a horizontally scaling database setup because 1 million rows a day are impossible to handle via a normal database server"

people really underestimate the power that vertical scaling can achieve, along with the long tail that microservices can bring. (The more calls between services you need to handle x, the more likely it is that you get into a case where one call takes exceptionally long)

No, the conspiracy suggests that the leaders of the major powers in Europe in the year 700-and-something conspired to simply start calling it the year 1000 for the prestige value, without recording this decision anywhere. Essentially it's like we all agreed tomorrow to start calling next year 2300 instead of 2023 (but theoretically slightly more plausible in a time before centralized calendars and computing).

Later historians simply took the official date for granted - so the people in Pope Gregory's time believed they were living in the year 1582, but, unbenknownst to them, only 1285 years had passed since the year 1CE. The real date was reflected in their astronomical calculations, leading to the 10 day correction instead of a 13-day one.

Of course, this is all absurd for all the reasons listed in the article, and others.
This is one of my favorite stupid conspiracies and one that a lot of people havnt heard of.

It'd be interesting to see this expanded into the secondary supply chains, and the primary factories, all of which may or may not be owned by the car corporations themselves.

These networks sprawl out pretty quickly, I imagine. Modern cars rely on microcontrollers and microprocessors, and without chip fabs that comes to a halt. They also require varying amounts of steel, aluminum, carbon fiber, other plastics and metals, and natural rubber.

Then there's the physical locations and the international ownership / leasing / agreement structures. For example, Rust Belt manufacturing of vehicles in the USA for the US market has mostly relocated to Mexico:

https://napsintl.com/mexico-manufacturing-news/mexicos-auto-...

> "According to Forbes, about 80 percent of the cars manufactured in Mexico are exported globally, with about two-thirds of those exports going to the United States. In 2014, the industry comprised about $19 billion in investments. Production for that year was estimated to reach 3.2 million cars, double what it had been five years prior."

A network map of everything that went into a Mexican-made vehicle that was purchased in the USA would be highly complex, and if you then asked for an ownership map of all the shell companies, holding compenies, investors, primary owners etc. involved, the complexity would likely increase by a factor of ten.

Just tracking the global production and ownership of raw lithium and electric car battery manufacturing, for example, would be a fairly massive undertaking.
It's neither my fault nor responsibility that you're terrified out of your mind and see evil killers around every corner.
