Are you sure about that 5% claim? According to http://www.notebookcheck.net/Mobile-Processors-Benchmarklist... the performance difference should be quite a bit worse.
Thanks for the suggestions. Amazon import is great but we were informed they needed 3 weeks to perform the import, we didn't have time for that.
Couldn't you then be using the monitor's power source to charge the laptop? Presumably the monitor is plugged into the wall and can transmit power to the laptop while the laptop transmits data to it.
is it possible to verify remote archives located on a ftp server?

No new 15" MacBook Pro? I wonder when that will be coming.
I wonder if the iPhone 6S will have a usb-c port that lets you dock the phone and use it for work.
When they showed the floating bubbles on the screen I was expecting them to tease an edgeless display similar to the Dell XPS 13 Infinity Display.
Then just have two ports that are identical? Is there something that holds them back from charging from two different locations?

I'm selling both mine as I will be traveling a lot in the next year. Email me at milesrihardson@gmail.com if you want one. :)
It will just be so nice to have the port be standardized.
It used to be the case that all AMD CPUs supported ECC back in the AM2/AM3 era, apparently this may no longer be true though. Not all motherboards bothered to route the extra traces required for it and include BIOS support though.
It will probably be closer to 6h of actual usage.
What confidential material is the investor providing you that you are afraid you might have to disclose in the future?

NDAs don't prevent you from disclosing your own confidential data. It prevents you from disclosing someone else's confidential data.

Basically the only thing you're looking for in the NDA is that only explicitly identified as confidential material is covered, for how long, and who can you tell.

It sounds like you might be confusing non-compete with NDA. An NDA can't prevent you from entering a market because a market is not confidential by definition.
Sexual offenders tend to have lots of victims, so victims are likely clustered around them.

A workplace with one must have quite a few victims, a workplace without one is full of people that never heard anything like this.
Even if the benefit is indirect, it's still hard to see how alternatives are possible, even when the evidence is right there in front of you. Did you even know we eradicated two diseases without the NIH (Smallpox, eliminated in the US by 1897, long before the NIH existed) - and Polio, eliminated through the private nonprofit March of Dimes.
Isn't that just a different implementation of right clicking?
There's enough people in tech right now that don't have degrees. I'm one of them. So I doubt this would become a huge problem.

Yes, but how do you plug your new USB key and your charger at the same time ? The only solution is to bring a hub with you everywhere.
Apple – The New Macbook
Maybe it's just me, but it looks to me like things have been going the other "way", all your documents synced to a "cloud" and providing various interfaces to it (phone/tablet/pc...)

What this looks like is all your data on your phone's hd, and "docking" to other form factors to compute/play with the data locally. I really hope we go this route, but I'm not holding my breath.
Yes you can, Backup Checker manages streams, so you can pipe wget or lftp output command directly into Backup Checker. Have a look at the https://github.com/backupchecker/backupchecker/blob/master/R... for more info
If they use the current 45 watt charger power, at the maximum 20V allowed by USB-C, you're looking at about 2.6 amps.
Writing whiny articles is counterproductive. A rapist is not going to read it and think - "Uh oh, turns our rape is bad, I should stop".

If there's some abuse/assault/rape, you deal with it like in any other field - you call the police, and then you press charges, and then you sue. It's the only thing that really stops the abusers/rapists.
I could not have said it better, white-boarding is about as far away from a persons coding routine as it gets. Not to mention we all rely on REPL and the debugger from time to time to save us from simple mistakes, there is no iterative process on the whiteboard. Interviewers that insist on white-boarding should be viewed as companies that don't "get it" and you should focus your time elsewhere.
Why?

Git seems like a poor choice for publishing already compressed assets like fonts. Just include the font files you need in your offline applications.
If you are developing products that require Java you are a huge part of the problem. Learn a new language and start porting.

I am tired of 100% of the blame for these situations going to Oracle and Adobe, they are just doing what they were designed to do, make money by any means necessary. The developers who voluntarily learned a language and joined a community that is controlled by a for-profit company are the only thing keeping them alive. Every new product they make entices another end user to install crap on their computer.
"What I'm asking is: what is the point of trying to argue that certain kinds of coerced sex are not rape?"

The point is that if start using a definition outside the standard definition, you tend to lose the trust of an outside observer.

Suppose someone wants to determine what happened in a given set of circumstances. If a person says, "He did X to me under Y conditions" and the observer comes back with "but Y conditions would seem to make X rather difficult" and the original person says "well, I have different definition of X", the observer instantly feels like the credibility of the person has decreased.

If a person gives a pretty unambiguous description of events, their credibility tends to be high. If a person's story is going to be widely believe, believed in a court of law and so-forth, we want their credibility to be high.

I think I can understand emotional appeal of the argument that the victim shouldn't be under scrutiny and shouldn't have to prove her case. But, I'm sorry, reality can't work that way - any system that discards investigation into truth will instead wind up with the truth suiting those having the most power and that only guarantees more victimization on one level or another.

Apple Store – Buy an Apple Watch
How much does this cost to use?
Depends on the laptop. I have bought two laptops in the past 14 months, a $2000 ThinkPad and a $600 Acer. Both came with 4GB soldered on and a single free SODIMM.

(On a different note: the ThinkPad maxes out at 8GB and the Acer at 12GB, whereas previous generations went up to 16GB at least. Intel intentionally nerfed Haswell and newer core i's, presumably to push their Xeons on more people)
whenever intel comes out with their new broadwell CPUs (different to the newly released macbook version).
Guys who designed the LMAX 'disrupter' for Betfair have a good talk about how much trading these betting sites do per second http://www.infoq.com/presentations/LMAX and how concurrency is a major issue, Erlang makes sense even if they have to search for replacement devs
Nope, old air line was updated with faster processors as well. This is being released in addition to the old style airs.
To be honest, I can't see myself ever spending $10k even on an ordinary luxury watch, if I was in position to do so. Much less so with an electronic one that will most likely be obsolete in a year.
Sounds like what you want is a ... Desktop Computer.

A lot of comments here take it on a political level, even if the discussed considerations are (mostly) technical. (I am personally touched by a few points in there and I understand the temptation to go that way myself.) The reasoning behind these "signs" however, is worth its weight in gold and I only hope people will remember and come back to it with cooler heads. Critique (and especially that kind performed on oneself) is almost always necessary in order to get better, even if it hurts. Seeing the objections raised, I was tempted to recommend such kind of critique only if there wouldn't be any chance of breaking you, but I can't anymore. If you are to fail - fail early, fail often.

This is always so interesting to me, because as a person without dogs or children, the magsafe adapter has only ever been annoying. It seems like the world is divided into people with small creatures who love the magsafe, and people without who don't get it.

Would you give up $10k a year in salary for a free parking space? What if that space's market value was $289 a month?

EG: I'm not sure what's getting subsidized here. If it's worth less than 7k is probably better to take the higher salary and pay for it yourself.
I don't see any evidence that taking college classes lays any foundation for learning additional skills later
I would indeed be fine with (what is essentially) a Star Trek comm badge.

I think the real innovation that would allow this, though, would be defining standards for "thin client" devices (or apps, I guess) that could auto-pair with these wearables. Imagine if there was a smart discovery protocol that let you take any screen+keyboard "terminal" device (phone, tablet, notebook) and ephemerally, zero-config attach it to a nearby display-less device. It'd be like plugging an old-school TTY into the device's serial port, but with Bluetooth/NFC+Bonjour or whatever is needed to find whatever's nearby, and (say) HTML5 instead of ncurses.

Then, you could let your comm badge (and your watch, and your HUD-glasses, and your e-reader, and your iPod Shuffle equivalent) have UI affordances only for their most important functions—and "break out" everything else (settings especially, but also secondary things like adding books, rating music, installing apps...) into its remote-terminal UI.

This would also be a helpful thing for home network routers, network printers, etc. You could even take the LCD off a DSLR and make it a dumb opaque box with a lens on a tripod, relying solely on remote-terminal UI for setting up and taking the shot.
I'm glad it's not ARM.
Ask HN: Java web applications
Hi there, i have been building web applications using Ruby, Python, Go, PHP... you name it. I wanted to give Java a shot.

So i was researching the Java world and i am somewhat confused. A quick google search returns web frameworks like Spark, Play, Dropwizard... and then there is a ton of $SeriousEnterpriseBusinessStuff where i absolutely can't find where to begin with.

So. What are some commonly used concepts for developing web applications in the Java ecosystem? What else should i know before i get started?
MassChallenge 2015 has launched
Have kids and/or pets run around in the same area where your computer is plugged in. Sooner or later one is going to tear on the cord - heck, even I do manage from time to time. And the connector looks so flimsy I'm afraid one time is all it's going to take. Nah, macsafe was the best invention ever in terms of charging.
This is totally free for users. You can set your rate and senders to your @gilded.club account have to pay you.
clang too...
WebKit has been open sourced 10 years ago. CUPS is even older than that. What has Apple been up to recently?

---

You know, you could name projects instead of clicking the upside-down arrow. Clang comes to mind (not LLVM). Google and others contribute heavily to clang, but Apple started it. They deserve credit for that. Anything else?
That's all well and good, but the question was whether it supported actual Thunderbolt, to which the answer given was "yes" but the actual answer appears to be "no."

Supporting something like Thunderbolt is nice, but not exactly the same. It's not about "brand identity," it's about "does this equipment I have work with this machine?"
What Makes Hackers Tick? A.k.a. Linus's Law

What's in it for the companies? I presume easier and better candidates to interview. Many companies have to wade through a sea of rubbish applicants, interview some and get no-where. If they can make it easier for the companies to get people, that's what's in it for them.
I'll add another question: Does USB-C have a spec for requesting additional wattage?

Example: I have a USB-C Printer/Hard drive/or otherwise, and plug in my MacBook Air, will it charge my MacBook or will I need an intermediate like a specialty hub to charge?

This seems egregious if every device needs to provide power for the potential of charging device in question...

What's the point about speculating about motivation? Whether motivated by altruism or calculated strategy, who cares?

These kinds of discussions tend to devolve into platform bickering rather than substantive commentary.
> The problem with "Use Exceptions for Exceptional Problems" is that it avoids ever defining "exceptional". Usually, it is then interpreted to mean "couldn't be predicted".

Huh? No. "Exceptional problems" are ones where the only thing that the code does is report the error. Whether a problem is exceptional is dependent on whether or not it's part of the normal workflow.

This is why there are, for example, 2 integer parsing methods in many languages, one that returns false for strings that aren't integers and one that throws an exception. It's up to the user of the function whether they have a way to handle the exception or whether they just want to report it to the user and exit.

> My rule of thumb is to use an exception whenever the function cannot complete its contract.

Exceptions that a function might throw are part of its contract.

> If I have a function LogIn(username, password), I expect to be logged in after the function completes.

That's a terrible design. You've violated a ton of different principles: single responsibility principle being the biggest.

For this I would have something like `authorize(username, password)` that figures out whether the username/password is valid, and then `login()` that actually creates the session. I might have another function `tryLogin(username, password)` that tries to login and returns some error info on failure.

In your system, what happens when a login happens and slips past your exception handler because it's used in a place that you didn't expect it to be used, and there's no type checking on exceptions? You just let the whole system go down. What happens when you want to log in with an auth token instead of a username/password? Have fun separating out your session logic. What happens when you want to write stress tests against your login system and now have to piece together a test suite that covers all cases for a monolith because you don't have any units to unit test? You rewrite the whole thing is what happens.

> Anything that trickles back up to the user and is displayed as an error message will have lag based on the user's reading speed.

Or it will cause lag for your entire server because wrong logins are fucking your stack and therefore your garbage collection.
Yeah, Frozenlock's snarkily trying to imply that "otherwise competent" computer users don't use IE.
Clang/llvm
Personally I've tried laptop computing on public transportation, and I just can't do it with people sitting so close to me potentially looking over my shoulder.

A phone I don't feel so claustrophobic, but anything tablet sized and up just makes me feel awkward.
Well, Apple has a long history of laptops without removable storage. (And I've owned most of them).
The page is up for ResearchKit:

The Apple Watch would likely be an ideal tool to improve prescription compliance in older patients. Perfect for issuing reminders about time and dosage (and for getting a confirmation that the task has been completed).
I'm really interested to see how this plays out, whether the watch will be another iPad or another Newton.
I submit that bootcamps are creating this problem right now. Many bootcamp graduates have poor grasps of the basics of computing, which will tend to limit their skill and career growth. For instance, it's difficult to grasp functional programming if imperative PHP is literally the only thing you know.
The fact that the educational institution takes on the risk of graduating students who cannot get jobs is a welcome change from the consumer's perspective.

But I fear at scale (and even now) it's paid for by higher prices. See my comment below -- at standard SV salaries, they're burdening students with much more "debt" in two years than typical four year institutions.

And it's not like the unemployment rates for CS majors are atmospheric... most CS majors with the social skills to make it through the non-technical portion of an interview will find a job somewhere.
Actually you are just denigrating their work with innuendo.
That is not going to happen.
Apple licenses out the use of its connectors for docking stations and other accessory usage. If they just drop the lightening connector on the iphone this soon after implementing it, I dont think manufacturers of these accessories would very happy about that.

There are times it makes sense to cut back. This is not one of them.
The UK pays quite a bit less than the US. $120k /year for a good sys admin would be a deal in the states.
Shared libraries are easier. Both processes just use the same memory.

The problem here is page reusing with copy-on-write. I have no idea how one'd implement that.
It's mind boggling that they pay as much as $2 per install but can't afford decent design. I've never seen a good looking toolbar, it's as if they try to make them ugly.
Yeah, ECC is going to make exploiting this reliably a lot harder - you'd need to flip three or more bits in the right combination, without first hitting a combination of bits that'd be detected as an uncorrectable error. Google's report suggests they haven't even been able to cause uncorrectable two-bit errors yet, let alone undetectable three-bit ones.
I thought the same thing.

The word "replacement", to me, makes it sounds like they think they are strictly better than college when in fact they are not, there are advantages and disadvantages to both. Also it comes off as somewhat arrogant.
If you're looking purely at specs, Windows laptops always were the better deal. But only when you use those alternatives do you realize how much further ahead Apple is.
It has 10 hours of battery life, so I think the idea is that you don't plug it in as often.
"This is not an official Google project, and Google provides no support for it."

I guess the intended message here is "We don't promise to maintain or update this or fix your bugs/issues/concerns", but it seems weird to say it's not an official project when it's on Google's namespace
Very interesting. I agree this can be huge help. And we are working on delivering a similar experience too.
I'm not totally sold on the current concept of the smartwatch. I think that wearables are the future, but it's going to take something more to make it truly compelling. But whether you're sold on it or not, a $10k version is just insane.

FWIW, we built a team of Elixir developers in the spring of 2014 in Austin Texas. Austin is not the bay area, it's maybe a Tier 3 startup town. And still we were able to build a great team over the course of a few months.

At the time, Elixir had not hit 1.0 and while there's a lot of overlap between elixir and erlang this is a good comparison because Elixir is a lot less common than erlang.

Here's the thing-- by having that filter of using this language-- a good language-- we self selected for good engineers because the good engineers were either already using it or were very interested in it. I for one, for instance, came to that job, relocating across the country just because I wanted to work in that language.
The average cost of a public, 4 year university was $16k per year in 2012 [http://nces.ed.gov/fastfacts/display.asp?id=76]. It's expensive everywhere. You can definitely rack up higher bills at some places than others, but going to a public university isn't going to save you from having debt. I went to a public, in-state university, didn't live on campus, and it still cost me about $10k a year for tuition (including the $500 of miscellaneous registration fees that they would tack on each semester, and textbook costs). That's near impossible money to make if you can't work full time and can't get any jobs that require a degree. The only reason I didn't go into debt was because I lucked out and got a good scholarship, and had a mother who put away a fund for me while I was younger.
This is probably the coolest announcement from the event, at least from the perspective of societal benefits.

Medical research faces a real challenge of selection bias. Survey respondents and study participants largely come from two groups: 1) undergrads responding to a campus flyer, and 2) local university-town residents looking to make extra money. Obviously this means respondents are geographically homogenous, and in many cases socioeconomically homogenous as well. Enabling a wider reach for researchers will not only increase sample size, but also eliminate selection bias. This is a very, very good thing.

Also, now research isn't limited to only university researchers.

I wonder if the plan is to allow participants to earn credits on apple pay.
Apple's battery tests are much more real world than I have to translate for other companies.
