I should have added some historical context to this request for those unaware of it.

It's hard not to see the user name Waffle_SS as an unnecessarily hurtful trivialisation of the Waffen-SS, the Nazi paramilitary force. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Waffen-SS for more information.
That's exactly my problem with it. Every machine I've ever bought, I've upgraded the RAM later in life when I genuinely needed the upgrade and benefitted from much lower pricing. Now, that cost is needlessly frontloaded; either I pay much more for the RAM I won't need for at least a year or two, or I live without it and potentially have to upgrade sooner. It's definitely a greedy move on Apple's part.
This is so much fun. It's kind of like RPG. There are 3 character classes.
1. Asshole: just goes straight after the green square.
2. Prankster: draws arrows pointing to the wrong exits.
3. Batman: stays on the button and clicks.

I've tried all three characters. Playing prankster is fun (I was a true trickster and sometimes drew the right arrow). Playing asshole is boring. Playing Batman is ok.

My apologies to all the guys/gals who followed the wrong arrow.

Many, many thanks to the author.

I, for one, am looking forward to the renaissance that a more accepting attitude towards marijuana and psychedelics may herald. Both have the potential of transforming society, culture, and politics for the better.

Witness the great ferment of the psychedelic and cultural revolution of the 60's and 70's.

I hope I may live long enough to see the fruit of the next psychedelic revolution.

The news about the non-upgradable RAM is tough to swallow.

About the only remotely positive spin I can put on it is that, relative to the 2012 Mac Mini, the "Apple tax" you pay for 16GB of RAM on the 2014 Mac Mini is somewhat offset by the reduction in the price of the base hardware.

The Mac Mini matters to me, because they make nice servers - companies like MacMiniColo and MacMiniVault will host your Mac Mini for $50 a month or less.

From a pure "computing horsepower per dollar" perspective, it's superior to virtual hosting - try hosting a 200GB database on a virtual host with 16GB of RAM and virtual CPUs anywhere near the performance of those in the Mac Mini. It gets real expensive real fast.

Obviously, virtual hosting has a boatload of other advantages, and it's the right solution for most situations. But Mac Mini hosting fills a niche for small companies with data < 1TB.

But even if you could, you wouldn't want to overwrite it for the entire website. Also, the HR element is a very old, largely unused, and styleable, so its a good candidate for this.
> there is a bit of an Apple premium to the RAM they sell

You're just paying for the brand and the convenience of not having to put it in yourself. RAM from Apple has to have one of the worst price/performance ratios.

Ask HN: I would like to learn basic animation
I would like to learn basic animation, to have the ability to make motion line art and basic colour cartoons. It would be the best way to express some of my ideas, in little weekend projects. Say you wanted to develop these skills in your free time. Do we have the tools now that can make it as easy as learning to write? – or am I greatly underestimating the difficulty of creating animation?
There are very few species that have a high tolerance of salt, thus the idea, although good, has a limited range of uses. If you wanted to transfer the salt resistance of a potato to a lettuce you would need to use DNA splicing, making it a GMO. Also, it is true that most of the salt is retain on the leaf, but a good portion remains on the soil as small crystals, accelerating erosion of the field.
I hate that move. It's possible that a lot of people were using them as servers, upgrading them, running them hard 24/7, and then getting free replacements via AppleCare? That's a pure guess.

Often this is not an intentional action on any one actors part - its an institutional thing - I work for a major european telecoms vendor, and inside my company almost no one has big picture visibility, projects are sliced up so many ways from sunday, that to get something that even resembled a big picture you need to talk to tons of people and maintain a large social network (the good ol' boys network).

The natural reaction to this lack of visibility is to create process for everything, and major european telecoms company is a very process oriented company, everything has a process, and a document thereof (assuming you can find the document, remember the part about poor visibility) - they are also very very fond of one-size-fits-all solutions to problems, so everyone gets the same laptop build, no matter who your end customer is, or what your job is (from field engineers to accountants).

The key to productivity is knowing when it's best to let the process, no matter how slow moving it is - bump and grind along at its own pace and become a self resolving problem, and when to directly (and openly) short circuit it, whereas other times you might want to call on the 'good ol' boys network' to solve a problem or get information.

To defend this way of working - there is some logic to these systems, they provide stability and a largely autonomous system that (albeit slowly) will provide a resolution to most of the problems the business will run into - they fail worst when dealing with rapidly emergent problems, exigent circumstances, when expanding to a new line of business or any time you run into a problem that can't be grouped into a existing category. Even a process driven environment however has some ability to adapt, even if it does fall completely outside the system at first, and so long as you have a reasoned argument, people often won't tell you no either (even if they might sit on your request for a bit), so while I dislike the amount of red tape at times, I've also learned how to work thru it, and around it when absolutely needed.

"display: none;" works just fine for BRs!

Sure, you don't want to override it for the entire web site, but if you're being specific enough about showing/hiding line breaks at certain breakpoints, then I don't see why you can't just specify with the class of the container (or whatever) which particular BR you want to hide in a given context.

It's the same for me. My 2010 MBP is my primary machine, and I'd much rather a thicker laptop with user-replaceable RAM and storage. Apple spent a lot of time building laptops that were ~1" thick and had these options, so I know that they can do it. They just don't want to do it any more; they'd rather we buy new laptops every ~3 years than gradually upgrade our current ones to last twice that time.
It is the first CG company I have heard of or seen using it. You are talking about a different industry. Not everything in visual effects studios is higher tech than anywhere else. The bottleneck is often expensive network storage and not the network itself.

I would imagine that right now studios are looking at 10gb ethernet, especially since SSDs should be making their way into the enterprise level gradually. Many times reading a scene goes at 50MBs.

It helps to realize that these studios are not flush with cash. They also might not always spend money in the best places (although usually they know what they are doing or they go out of business). Articles paint them to be super high tech, but really everything is built out of commodity hardware except for the backbone disks and routers.

Also upgrading to 10Gb means upgrading thousands of boxes, not just a couple. It could also mean running new cable but you would probably know more about that.
Question: What were they trying to achieve with the 2005 version of the ignition switch, which required a new design, that couldn't be provided from a 1975 switch design? It seems that a lot of effort and money is poured into redesigning every component of products every few years, when this was a solved problem many decades ago. After all, the ignition switch has to 1) be turned with an authorized key, 2) provide electrical contact for accessory, run, and start positions.

Not sure if "largely unused" is right. I use them all the time, and have seen them in pretty common use around the place.

Have to agree with a previous poster; I would imagine it's more likely that people would stare at the thief running out of the venue, rather than get involved and take a risk.

You can pick up a drawstring gymsack for a couple of bucks. It scrunches up to a very small size in your daily carry, and you can ensure any valuables are secure on your back if you have to be away for a short time while the rest of your stuff stays at the table. Low tech, but has been effective for me so far.

Here Feynman explains the basic logic behind building of all of the computers. He is inspiring even if you know more details about the topics he talks about, because he stimulates you to a fresh view. The youtube title is, IMHO, misleading. The lecture is about the basic hardware concepts and not about heuristics, so I think it fits perfectly with the OP.

Edit: At the start the original title is visible it's "Richard Feynman: The Computers From the Inside Out" and the lecture is from 1985.

"Computers are not primarily computing machines, they are actually filing systems."

Unfortunately I got the message "Lost Connection to Server", after I had made significant progress, and had to start over.

But all in all, I think it's a very interesting (and fun) game. The only part which concerns me is the fact that it's multiplayer only, which means as people lose interest over time it simply won't be playable. But, then again I don't see how the mechanics would translate to single player only, unless the other mouse cursors were controlled by bots with different algorithms to simulate various humans playstyles.
And your Hackintosh will crash, make noise and draw too much power. To an increasingly large segment of the market, these cons far outweigh the possibility of a RAM upgrade.

> The problem with this article is that is doing something extremely simple, and calling that an abstraction.

Simple examples make for good blog articles. Real abstractions follow the same pattern as simple ones.

> The power of Python or Ruby is not demonstrated doing a for loop, is with something like this: print sum(int(n) for n in open('/a/file/with/numbers'))

In this case, your abstraction is sum(). Internally, sum() will use something like a for loop in its implementation. sum() is fast because it's implemented in C, not Python.

That is a reasonable interpretation, especially since Plato was not present in the dialogue between Phaedrus and Socrates, so the whole thing is either fiction or a dramatised retelling. However, this lends credence to the idea that Plato was being partly humorous about his own work, when he wrote down the section dealing with writing.

I doubt that in the US you could get 1U, 300mbps unmetered, and 2amps for $50/mo. Forget about it if you throw in the hardware as well.

Now if you said 1U, 1amp, and 10TB of metered bandwidth, then $50/mo sounds more like it.

That's awesome - where?
I also wondered this since the story broke.. Why do they redesign core components like this, instead of just iterating on previous designs? I fight this every day in the enterprise space. My only conclusion is ignorance: sharing previous design or infrastructure knowledge is hard (or at least, not prioritized). So folks end up recreating the proverbial wheel.
Anno 2070 might fit the bill.
Funnily enough, while that used to be true, it's no longer the case. The tech world has advanced to the point that it's outstripped the porn industry, which is struggling for the business reasons I outline here in my open letter in Wired, 'Don't Block Porn, Disrupt It':

I'm reasonably certain that Model 15 is older than 15 years, as they stopped making them in 1963, and the bulk of the production was earlier.

Also as an aside - if you were using a model 33 or 37, you could use it with a simple RS232 to current loop converter, and agetty on a linux boxen - then you could use it as a log in device too, rather than just a serial/console printer :-D

The other thing I don't get is why use the optoisolator relay setup, the voltages involved are low enough that a normal 5v/250v relay would be sufficient - perhaps the current draw is too high for the raspi to handle?
Very nice!
