I have several thoughts on this "open-source" software contribution mania:-

1)Will you not hire a "salesperson" if they don't make sales calls in their free time, or a baseball team won't pick a player if they don't play in their free-time?

2)IMHO hiring should be a "selection" process and not a "rejection" process. Your application at this point looks like a "rejection" system.

3)Having github/open-source contributions is based on a lot of factors such as availability of free-time(being a good engineer dosen't necessarily mean one has to write code in their free-time), passion for a particular project/domain etc. Too much of anything causes burn-out.

4)Just because a lot of companies have this criteria, it does not make it a valid one. There's a lot of "herd" mentality in technology recruiting.

5)As a business decision I would think you should make open-source contributions optional and let the employers decide if they want it or not.

Pretending that our instruments MUST be biased just because we don't like the measurements excuses us from searching for solutions. In one case, micronutrient fortification of iodine to increase infant IQ was opposed because saying that infants in africa were being born with lower IQs was unacceptable. Absolutely terrible.

Stepping Off the Golden Gate Bridge
Wait for DisplayPort 1.3 for this. It currently uses multi-stream transport to feed the display as if it's two half screens daisy chained together. Sometimes it works, other times it's a trainwreck. At least know what you're getting in to.

Dell's 4K screens came up here yesterday. Here's what I had to say about those: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8459298

I like DP better than HDMI politically, but if you have a screen with HDMI 2.0 support that's a much safer bet than DisplayPort 1.2 is.
Good luck getting >60fps worth of 4k pixels over DisplayPort or HDMI.

I will give my firstborn for an 8k* monitor with a 120Hz refresh rate. He or she will probably have kids when I get that, though.

(4k is not that compelling. At 32" it's only 140ppi, which is nothing approaching "retina" levels.)
Having lived through the transition from broadcast-only tv to widespread cable tv, that's not at all how it was sold. Cable was sold on the merits of primarily: better reception (no more antenna!) and many more available channels. The dollars that you spent on "cable" were for those features, primarily. The channels themselves were "free" and carried the advertising they always had. It was kind of like buying internet access, in that most people don't expect that all content accessed via the internet will be ad-free.

The unbundled CBS isn't really akin to paying for cable. You're already paying for your internet access yourself. If anything, CBS online will be like a "premium channel" in cable tv terms. Which, historically, have been generally ad-free. I assume the reason for that is the market figured out that people don't like to both pay for some particular channel and see ads.
Do you have evidence that states with higher government spending as a percentage of the economy have a more quickly increasing (or even a higher) HDI? It seems that efficiency of spending would influence the trajectory of your metric of interest more directly than the metric's current level (this seems obvious to me, but I can explain why in detail, if required). I can think of a few examples which would support your case, and many counterexamples, but would be happy to hear your case.

I would also think that a system's efficiency would affect the economy as well as all other indices of interest (though perhaps in varying proportion), as a healthier, happier citizenry or one with more capital goods, and better investments would grow economically as well as in other metrics.

T-Mobile has moved off long-term contracts almost entirely. AT&T is pushing their Next program hard, which decouples phone buying from the subscription (I believe you have to pay off the phone if you cancel, but the payments are separate and you don't lose out on a subsidy). Things seem to be moving pretty fast in that direction, and I'm hopeful.

Yes. I was glad to see it has finally been addressed but realistically it will take several years to close the gap, since people who have gotten used to various iPad apps have little incentive to switch platform.
I presume the example university employee doesn't have the luxury of tenure. The distinction is actually pretty straightforward. The "well-spoken" junior assistant librarian with their 2:2 in Latin from Exeter could get a job at McDonalds, if need be. The pretty-smart high-school leaver earning a fair percentage above minimum wage as a store manager at McDonalds would struggle to get a job as a junior assistant librarian at a university library even if they were willing to accept the pay cut.

Needless to say there are also plenty of "uneducated" plumbers whose skills earn them well above the national average wage whilst many marketing graduates embark on serial unpaid internships updating Twitter feeds in the hope someone will eventually deem their university-enhanced flair for on-brand 140 character communication worth paying for.

In the UK more so than most places "economic class" owes as much to Veblenesque notions of the luxury status of jobs as it does to how much employees actually earn and whether real opportunities for progression exist.
LTE uses SIM cards regardless of the network's voice system.
I agree with all of your points, and indeed Github authentication is optional for the jobs posted on the site. I admit I did initially have it turned on by default (because I really liked the feature) but now it's off by default given the general feedback I've received.

I always do a fresh install. I save backup of my $HOME, but don't restore it (I copy what I need when I need). It's perfect time for getting rid of old unused applications, projects, etc. But it takes time and patience.

Exactly, Broadwell would also allow passive or almost silent operation. The new NUCs in Q1/15 look more promising than this.
I had a GPU hardware problem too. When in I upgraded a few years ago to a beta at wwdc, it became quite unstable. Finally got Apple to replace the motherboard. Not sure why an upgrade would cause the problem, though.

I would actually argue that "code" should be taught at the same time as algebra formally. But I don't know enough about European education systems to specify more.
I think they essentially do, which is part of @moxie's point about can't vs won't. Above the CTO says "I can't tell you who a user is without them posting their actual personal information", which is very misleading to the general public without the addendum: "...unless I try to".
This is a useless definition of "anonymous". It's anonymous to the extent that you care about 4chan, but not anonymous to the extent that you care about prosecution.

Mountain Lion 10.8.5 - fresh boot with only Chrome and this HN page open - Used: 2.83 GB.

Once the shared libraries are in memory, memory usage grows really, really slowly for my application set (listed above) on OS X.

I'm not saying that 8 GB will last forever - I'm just saying, as a power user who has zero need for more than 8GB right now, that 8 GB on OS X will be just fine for about 95% of average consumer use. Absolutely would not recommend upgrading an iMac's memory unless you are really certain you are going to hang onto it for more than 5 years - not the best use of $200.

I'm just talking about your average family use; for vertical niches (Video Work, Graphics Design, Heavy Industrial Programs, Databases) - obviously those people will assess their situation and make a decision that is optimized for their circumstances.

It's still much too long to go without a computer, but it's worth it when you realise you've been coding for three hours and haven't lost a single line of code to a crash.

That being said, before I got the part replaced, upgrading to... was it snow leopard? the latest version of OS X, anyway, increased the frequency of the issue by rather a lot. So, possibly, hold off on your update?
It's not a Haswell vs. Ivy Bridge distinction, it's a consumer vs. server distinction. Consumer CPUs only have dual-channel memory controllers and Intel's DDR3 controllers can't use 16GB UDIMMs or have more than 2 UDIMMs per channel. The server chips (a handful of which get some features cut off and sold under the i7 brand) have 4 memory controllers and also support RDIMMs and LRDIMMs.

OK, bromides may be uncalled for. However, declaring a "State of Emergency" is hyperbolic.

There have been cases of Ebola in the UK and France, which were contained without causing the national panic that appears to have gripped the US.

One concern I have is that if this panic is allowed to gain enough political headway it will lead to expensive, oppressive and ineffective policy decisions, mirroring those that created the TSA.

How is this any more reasonable an assumption? Don't get me wrong: I don't want to believe the alternative. But I can't just discount the possibility based on personal bias in absence of evidence, which seems to be what you're advocating. IQ not being an ideal model in no way implies that every conclusion derived from it is false; that's the fallacy fallacy. Do you have anything else to support an assertion of uniform mental capacity across the human species?

I'm not saying it isn't worth discussing pre-homo sapien speciation at all, I'm saying that the vague idea that the Neanderthals are some "other thing" from our genetic heritage (as compared with, say, Cro-Magnon) has become less tenable as genetic analysis has advanced.

The story of Neanderthal is, for many of us, partly the story of us. Genetically, some of us have the equivalent of a great-great grandparent that was Neanderthal.

> Yosemite is really memory hungry compared to Mavericks in my experience.

Which numbers are you reading for this? The "memory use" total includes lots of irrelevant things like files read once during boot and optimistically cached for later, so you can expect it to be nearly 100% of installed memory at all times.

You're not in a memory pressure situation until you have an actual performance problem or the swap space starts growing.

But if you are having performance problems, I'm pretty sure someone cares deeply about them and would like to know the per-process memory use.
Bradley hit the nail on the head -- we display a localized emergency services number in the Safety Check UI in case anyone needs to contact the actual authorities. We're not a conduit for life-or-death information like that (which is better handled by the government).

What makes you think they don't have dead pixels? Hasn't Apple had a policy of not replacing panels with dead pixels unless they fell in Class III or Class IV of ISO 13406-2? (http://www.tested.com/tech/1337-we-uncover-the-dead-pixel-po...)

Obese by what metric?

BMI is archaic and a "one shoe fits all" metric. That doesn't mean that BMI is wrong - just that you should do more detailed diagnoses with your doctor to determine your health.

If BMI is saying you're obese, then get a comprehensive metabolic panel and lipid panel with your PCP, and go from there.
I admit, as an European, I see no point to this.

If you want a new SIM card, and you don't have a contract, just buy a new SIM card and put it in your phone / tablet.

If you have a long-term contract, this won't help you anyway.

I can't wait for the 'flat' fad to be over.
I am old school. Across major versions, I back up my files, create the install media, and clean install from that.

Sadly, in practice there appear to be many things wrong with DisplayPort. I’m writing this on a machine using a workstation-class graphics card to drive two high-end Dell monitors over DisplayPort. In some respects — starting with basics like what happens when you turn things on and off — it is the least satisfactory video set-up I’ve used in many years, despite being more expensive than the last several put together.

That resolution will take a lot of vram to push. Start gaming or editing on it and it will get crushed. Most 290x's start at 4GB, why Apple chose 2GB I don't know.

Thank you. We will be updating the blog to support higher versions of TLS as well as to evaluate its cipher suite. It has taken longer than it should, and for that we apologize. It has not been forgotten or abandoned and will be resolved as promptly as possible.

Our other sites, including the Docker website and the Docker Hub already have relatively aggressive cipher suites and have disabled SSLv3, protecting it from POODLE.
How do we know this has anything to do with self-perception? Negative feelings tend to be given more weight—a bad review of a restaurant is much more likely to make you avoid it than a good review is to make you visit it—so people could simply believe that “the average person” is worse (at driving, being honest, &c.) than the true average.

If I see several traffic accidents a year, I note that since I haven’t had one, I must be doing better than the nebulous category of “other drivers”. After all, the probability of someone else’s having an accident this year is scrillions of times higher than the probability of my having one, even if every individual driver is about as good as me.

It's nice to have so many options today, it means when you bang up against the shortcomings of one language/system you can often jump to another one to get what you want (e.g. speed, or specific libraries, or graphics niceties, etc).

I only wish MATLAB wasn't so expensive and so proprietary.

>I'm not equivocating at all.

Your sentences are textbook examples of equivocating.

>People use the term punish when they feel like they've been punished.

Yes, they often do! Notice the word you just used to describe Shinkei's post? You wrote "feel" to describe "punish-as-in-sentiment-figure-of-speech". It's feelings/sentiments/perceptions etc.

Your attempted explanation after that was this:

>you're only punished if you fail to pay.

This is "you're only punished-as-in-assets-seized-or-go-to-jail if you evade taxes". It's a switch in semantics.

Because punish-as-in-sentiment is not equal in meaning to punish-as-in-jail, your proposed clarification is a non sequitur.

Since you're not aware of why one type of meaning (feelings) is not relevant to the other (jail), you are equivocating.

>I'm trying to figure out why people immediately think they are being punished by taxation somehow completely forgetting the [government services]

I know and it's understandable that you want to satisfy a curiosity. However, you'll just annoy people if you're equivocating 2 different meanings to justify your perspective while asking your question.

If someone says they feel "raped" by high taxes, you don't ape MrSpock and say "I see no genitals forcefully entering any orifice so I don't understand why people call it rape."

>they are an admission ticket to society.

They are not an "admission ticket". Admission tickets are pieces of paper that you submit to an usher or gate agent to be admitted to an event or airplane. (If you find that dissecting-figures-of-speech with literal definitions to be annoying, you've experienced firsthand why equivocation derails the discussion and is not helpful.)

Lastly, it seems like your answer to Shinkei was based on thinking he was against all taxes. If you read his post again, he was playing devil's-advocate for paying "punishment" taxes on a yacht. It's entirely reasonable for that type of person to raise taxes on himself for more police officers but feel punished for extra consumption taxes on luxury items since he's already paying sales tax on it.
