Pretty much feel exactly the same as you. I have a 15 inch retina MBP supplied by work, and a 11 inch maxed out MBA as my personal machine. I really love the little guy but using the that screen after staring at a beautiful retina display all day feels like stepping back in time.
Right now, screen resolution and battery life are in direct tension, and Apple is optimizing for the latter at the expense of the former. The MBA has almost 50% more battery life than the ATIV Book 9, the closest Ultrabook in terms of size/weight/cost: http://www.engadget.com/2013/09/30/samsung-ativ-book-9-plus-.... Apple can't up the screen resolution without a major regression in battery life, not until Broadwell comes out.
odd, I notice on this page [1] there's a version for $1099 with a DVD drive built in.

What's the deal with that? Is it also a new offering, or is it old inventory? I'd be interested in buying it later this year (think it would be around that long?)

>On the other hand btw the Air is a lot cheaper.

Than the Pro, yes. It's about the same price as other ultrabooks with 1080p or better IPS displays, though, especially if you bump up the e.g., RAM.

Basically, I'm not willing to pay a premium for a 1440x900 TN panel.
To me it sounds like Packrat is a backup feature, but this person chose not to take advantage of it.
Ah, ok. That's a fair point.
It's not just resolution. The MBA also has a TN panel with relatively terrible viewing angles.

Was it one of the first retina 13" models? I've tried one of those in the store when they were just released, and I have to admit the scrolling performance was terrible. If you put it next to a much lower-specced, much older, much cheaper MacBook Air, it appeared as if the MBP was the weaker one of the two laptops. Very unlike Apple to release the machine the way it was.

They did improve graphics performance a lot through software updates, and the generations after the first 13" retina MBP are supposedly a lot better still... That said, I'm holding off upgrading my 2010 MBA until Broadwell which will have an even better IGP...
Pretty amazing that the former director of the NSA can start a company in his former employer's space without being sued and yet as programmers we can't get a job anywhere without signing huge stacks of papers that make doing the same nearly impossible, or scary enough to where we don't even bother.
The will of industry has such a strong influence on political outcomes that it seems rational (though perhaps unfortunate) for people to oppose big projects as early as possible.

Maybe before you wrote your 1000 word article with custom made illustration you could have spent a little timing digging in the code and understanding what this function actually does? Or at least ask some bitcoin devs their opinion? If you have actually found a vulnerability in bitcoin and disclose it that way it's not even sloppy, it's irresponsible.

Honestly, if I were still a web developer, I would still use a library. The libraries greatly simplify things for the standard use cases.

If I could not use a library, I would look for the unminified code of a library and copy and paste it the relevant section.

Because ultimately, unless things go wrong and I need to dig deep, I have better things to do than mastering yet another complex web api.

STEM More Than Engineering: Platform to Showcase Student Talent
Here "sync" means what Dropbox says it means. The answers to your questions are well defined in their software, even if to some other software, they might be different.

I wish the term didn't exist, and apps/clients/... would copy or even just load or show things, and if you want to "sync", then rsync with clear source and destination.

The source and destination is always clear. It's to the server and from the server. Dropbox uses a star topology, not P2P.

You'd get the same result if you used rsync with source and destination, if you passed --delete, which is equivalent to what Dropbox does.
Why is the Hue Circle Circular?
Maybe a better way to put it is that backups are isolated from current "production" data operations.

Backups are not invulnerable, so yes, it's still possible to overwrite the backups, but that involves engaging the backup system specifically. Just doing file operations or settings changes on the production system won't do it.

Dropbox is not isolated from production data operations. In fact the whole point is to synchronize production data operations as fast as possible. That makes it dangerous.

(This does not excuse the bug is this story; sync setting changes should be obviously be atomic transactions that are confirmed on the server.)
I'm guessing because every time I go to a conference, 90 out of 100 computers there are Macbook Pros. I imagine a lot of people on HN use these computers daily. It's nice to know Apple iterated on their hardware.

Right now I've Samsung series 9 ultrabook with windows 8 at home and a corporate big thick & heavy Lenovo box at office.

I can work for any company (part time & remotely) who can buy me a Mac Pro. I'm pretty good in Java, JavaScript, C# and F# and can easily put up the design and architecture of any large scale, testable and maintainable app (server side & client side). I can also help developing any complex module for an existing app. Or can help design & develop a scalable backend on top of Postgres, SqlServer, MongoDB, CouchBase or Riak.

You can't give up on measuring things, but you don't have to let people know what you are measuring or make the measure materially to them. That's there the trouble starts.
If you aren't paying money, you aren't the user, you are a product.

Freemium models often suck because of stuff like this[1]. But if the "users" would just consider it normal to pay money then we wouldn't have crazy things going on where people providing critical infrastructure services need to figure out how to "convert" their "users." Instead, say, every professional Java shop would pay $100 a year or so for managed access. Projects that want to use it like a CDN so their users could download would pay a fee to host it.

They have bills to pay. They'll cover them one way or the other. If we pay directly at least we know what the game is.

It is news on HN: Coincidentially I also own one (MBPR 13" with Ubuntu & MacOS)

It can be a developer's struggel: MBPR (13, 15) or is the Air also cutting it?
The NSA's job isn't private cyber security. Also, non-competes are evil.
I have a 13" MBP retina and I think size and weight wise it is just right - the air is 1.35Kg and the pro is 1.57Kg. Size wise it is 18mm compared with the airs 17mm (the air is better at looking thinner - but in reality it isn't).

>The Pro is bigger than I want

Unless you have an 11" (I just can't get my head around using a screen that small) then I seriously suggest looking at the pro again.
I've often wondered if the NSA is constitutional. Not what they're doing, but the organization itself. The constitution, from my understanding, grants the federal government power to do certain things. Therefore, if the constitution doesn't specifically grant the federal government the power/ability to run, say the NSA (or other federal department), does that not warrant the entire thing unconstitutional?
It depends on how you look at it. They were stored online (Dropbox servers) as well as locally (Macbook). The problem is that a bug in Dropbox's client turned a de-sync operation into a delete operation. So one way to see it is that even having local storage was not safe because the sync was flawed. Another possible way to look at it is if your only local copy is synced with the cloud, then effectively your only storage is online.
I didn't have a choice. I usually use CentOS.
Not sure why you're being downvoted, this is the second submission today about this non-story.
>I'll favor portability for screen every time

The 13" MBP is 1.57KG and 18mm thick. The macbook air is 1.35KG and 17mm thick. The battery life is really the only differentiator when it comes to portability.
> For many people, safety has a higher political priority than privacy. However, when you start saying that mass surveillance kills jobs, it gets much more attention because economic issues are usually on par or above safety concerns.

Then there are people like my wife, who thinks disclosure hurt the US politically and economically, thus rationalizing that it is Snowden's fault for revealing all these surveillance programs, not the NSA's for having them in the first place. I think that attitude, combined with "safety > privacy" and "I have nothing to hide" are very common amongst more politically-aware people. I, unfortunately, can't come up with many good, non-tinfoil rebuttals.
Yeah, "stringly-typed" isn't really a problem when you're mostly dealing with files made up of strings/lines. Interfacing between programs and files which output mostly idiosyncratic output over an interface of files and strings isn't really made any easier or more robust by using a heavy type system and functional purity...

Actually, in rust I get no warning with the functionally similar (and I think idiomatic) code:

let l = [1i, 2, 3];

for i in l.iter() {
println!("{}", i);
break;
}

Obviously there's no explicit update as in the C code but since using iterators is the Rust way to iterate over collections I don't think it's fair to say that the rust compiler would have saved them on that one.

I believe the current consensus is that KPIs are communicated via pheromones. Both the location and density of pheromones are meaningful to the decision-making process of an individual ant. The large-scale behavior of the colony is a result of the totality of those decisions.

You make an unfair comparison, however. Numerous factors that constrain ant behavior (brain size, genetics, sterility, energy requirements, etc.) simply do not obtain for an organization of unrelated human beings.
> And so aren't social networks the real backups by now?

I hope not. I cringe when I see people who treat them like they are. What do you do when your account password gets cracked(it happens to people on Facebook a lot), or the site itself goes away(MySpace)? Also, you're not able to store the images in their original form; I'm pretty sure sites like these will have limitations on what you can upload. I'm not a pro-photographer by any means, but there's no way I could upload a RAW file to Facebook.
Since when do Angular and JQuery not play nicely? Angular uses "JQLite" which gets replaced with JQuery if it's already loaded.

I guess if you're trying direct dom manipulation on the same elements from outside of Angular with JQuery and with Angular it could get messy. The community would just say "you're not doing it the Angular way." You're not. You can use the JQuery inside a directive and controller and be fine.

Not really; the Constitution establishes the Federal government as responsible for national defense. Assuming you can construe the NSA as necessary for national defense then the NSA is constitutional (though not necessarily its activities).
Case insensitive alphanumeric is 36 (26+10) case sensitive alphanumeric is 62 (26 + 26 +10). Second you don't need to store all the data.

Your solution to just stores the hashes and uses their position to calculate the key. Saving 10 bytes out of (10byte key+16byte hash.) However, you would then need to check every hash in order which is slow at look up time.

Next thought is sorting the hashes so lookups are fast. Notice that the first byte is repeated frequently so break the list up into 256 lists and you don't need to save the first byte. Continuing this idea you end up a tree data structure: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radix_tree. Problem is it's still a lot of data.

However, look up is now so fast you don't need to full key any more store say 8 bytes and test the next 2. Wait, do we really need ASCII key values or just a number to reduce the search space 2 bytes cuts things from 1 day to (1/256^2) or ~1second. But wait, we don't need to store the full hash just enough that false positives are low. A 4 byte hash + 3 bytes in a radix tree gives means ~1 in 256^4th hashes match and you spend 1/200th of a second looking at each match, which seems vary reasonable. Unfortunately even at ~1/4 the storage it's still to much space.

Continuing this idea of the trade off between storage and speed, you might end up with a rainbow table. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rainbow_table

Looking at the examples of errors that it finds ( http://www.viva64.com/en/examples/ ), most of them do look like abstract problems ("identical sub-expressions to the left and to the right of the 'foo' operator", for example)
I noticed there hasn't been any mention of attempting to recover your deleted files from your local disk. If you haven't tried it yet it is worth a shot. There are a few software solutions out there that will scan your disk for files that have been deleted. On Windows I have used Piriform's Recuva[1] and on OS X I have used PhotoRec[2], both have worked rather well. It is worth noting that the longer you wait to try the more likely the sectors are to be overwritten with new data. (And you should back up any files currently on the disk). I know it is a long shot at this point but some chance is better than none. Good luck.

Technically speaking, you are correct. Practically and legally, everything Congress does is jammed through Article I Section 8 of the Constitution, which grants it the authority to "regulate" interstate commerce.

Also, what w4 said. But again if you want to get technical, the Constitution restricts Congress's authority to provide for the common defense to having an army or a navy, but not an Air Force, and not a National Security Agency.
Technically SMTP can be decentralized in the way you describe. Anyone can run a MTA. In principle a MTA should try routing messages through alternate routes to the destination if the first route does not work; also messages are stored on the way if some routes are blocked.

The fact people do not currently use SMTP in a fully distributed fashion does not detract from the fact that e-mail can be (re-)made fully distributed if/when need be.
I had to think about this for a bit. I'm not entirely sure how you could fix this. Best I can do is the system could test if the first row has "numeric" data and give a warning if so. Are there smarter ways?
I would disagree that this was ever a question. The assumption of the Zionist movement was that a Jewish state was not possible without land and a concentration of population. Jews hadn't been displaced because their land disappeared, they were displaced because they'd been conquered and divided and driven out by empire after empire over a period of thousands of years. I don't think any Jews would have disagreed that without the land, with the population displaced, that they did not represent a state.

Only if your definition of “relatively terrible” means “better than the majority of desktop and laptop displays sold in the last 5 years”. I never notice this during normal usage and in an office with a range of generally mid-range enterprise PCs the MBA screen is better than all but a handful of displays which some digital imaging specialists use. All of the monitors which look better cost at least 50% of what an MBA costs.

Yes, it's not the best display on the market but calling it terrible is just hyperbole.
