You are saying it like salary is the sole decision of the company - they and only they decide what to reward and what not to reward. Thus, you pre-accepted the premise there can be no negotiation - no wonder with this pre-accepted premise you find nothing wrong with it! In fact, however, the size of the reward is a product of mutual agreement. So the right thing to ask is - why would the engineer want more money? What getting more money does with engineering skill? Maybe nothing, maybe something - but if you hate getting paid, feel free not to negotiate. If, however, you still have some uses for that root of all evil called money, then feel free to negotiate and take at least part of the control for your pay to yourself.

The whole premise that people - women or men - are not to participate in determining their future with the company, at least in the compensation aspect, but only can be externally evaluated, given something and have no further input in the process but either blindly accept whatever they are given or hit the road - sounds kind of demeaning to me. Negotiation is part of what mature adults do to arrive to commonly acceptable goal. Saying "here's your allowance and not a dime more" is how a parent communicates to a child. Not an equal standing.
Have you considered Boston Terriers?

A) No c-section to procreate
B) Same behaviors (need for affection, size, general behavior)
C) Squishy jowly cuteness. Not quite as wide bodied. Many Bostons are built like grey hounds with a chihuahua size...

We bought a boston terrier from a breeder who gave us one she saw was docile and good for a family.

Honestly, that's what's missing from the adoption equation. Not physical characteristics (though I wanted a small dog that wouldn't trample and intimidate my 6 year old) but judgement from the breeder about whether the pet is suitable for your situation.
I like the health monitoring aspects the most. Fitbit type of devices, tracking activities/health, have been picking up and will pick up more. Apple has jumped on that pretty well and traditional watches can't compete on those features.

I stopped wearing watches but have thought about a Fitbit watch and why not have that be an Apple watch maybe.
What about a design that uses kinect energy accumulated when you are going downhill?
I'm not attacking the Apple watch (or anything else for that matter), but in my daily life a smartwatch would be no match in utility, convenience, or features I need compared to my $50 Timex.
The difference is in synchronicity. Using SC START on the help page should properly be followed by SC QUERY in order to check that the service started. NET START won't return until the service starts, errors, or times out.

> "SC sends the control to the service and then returns to the command prompt. This typically results in SC START returning the service in a state of START_PENDING. NET START will wait for the service it is starting to come to a fully started state before it returns control at the command prompt."

Ask HN: Does RAM speed matter for programming?
It is a well accepted fact that lots of RAM does improve performance. But does RAM speed matter in computation intensive operations? Is there a difference between 1600MHz RAM and a 2400MHz RAM in performance, everything else being equal? If so, how much?

I have googled around and came across a few links and this excellent review http://www.anandtech.com/show/6372/memory-performance-16gb-ddr31333-to-ddr32400-on-ivy-bridge-igp-with-gskill . But all of these seem to be in the context of gaming? Does it apply to programming too?
Well, good. At least there's something in those supplements that actually works.

I'll let go of the insult (after driving a two-wheel in Paris for over 30 years, I've heard everything), but I wonder how motorbikes could be polluting "dozen times more than a car"??

Motorbikes consume less fuel for a shorter amount of time -- since we don't get stuck in traffic and don't look for a parking spot for hours when we arrive at destination. Please explain.
Do you remember how in school you used to complain to your dumber friends how difficult an AP class was, but really you took pride in enduring the grind? Parents complaining about their kids are doing the exact same thing.
lucky for gruber, Apple has released an awful lot of good products recently. iPhones have stupid customer satisfaction numbers. They aren't the most valuable company in the world by a mile because everything they release is crap.

Obviously Gruber is a big fan of Apple, but your criticism of him is a bit harsh. I assume he didn't spend a lot of time comparing it to Android wear because he hasn't spent a ton of time using Android wear.

I'm a little afraid of the first gen bugs, and some of the reviews I read today weren't completely sold, but pretty much every single one that I read said it was far and away the best smartwatch they've used, even if they still weren't completely sold and gave it meh reviews overall.

I immediately guessed Smugmug as well. I've been a customer for ~4 years now, and the few times I've needed their help, it's been nothing short of phenomenal. Support tickets answered in minutes by people clearly knowledgeable (if not experts) on the platform. Smugmug is a wonderful service, and would be fully worth the price even without such high levels of CS, so I wonder what motivates them to excel in that area?
Using your analogy, ESA wants to ban practicing lockpicking skills in the privacy of your home because once you learned it, you could use it to commit burglary. I think EFF is completely correct to oppose it and completely justified to expose guilt by association and slippery slope fallacies in ESA's argument.

ESA has interest in preventing piracy, but that does not give them any more rights. I have interest in acquiring a million dollars, but it would be a poor argument for me to justify robbing a bank with that interest. In the same way, the fact that ESA is interested in something does not constitute good argument to prevent harmless activities having nothing to do with piracy - because there are much better and less rights-infringing ways to further the same interest.

It's easy to paste in a block of code to insert ads. Accepting payments, tracking them on user accounts, and hiding those ads is obviously a little more complicated.

If Google Contribute (https://www.google.com/contributor/welcome/) doesn't pull a Google and remain invite only until death, it'll simplify the process and we might see this become a more common approach.

I really don't like the idea of every site attempting to roll out their own solution. It would be nice to have a system to manage subscriptions across a variety of websites. I log-in, and I can see all the sites I'm subscribed to at the moment. I can then toggle individual sites on or off with the push of a button, or I can change payment plans for individual sites (if I switch to the HN $2/mo plan, my username appears in blue). Sites could then query the payment info using some kind of API and user tokens, to see what user is currently subscribed to what plan.
Put aside the UI. There are a couple different case sizes, a few different case materials, a lot of different wrist bands, some special editions, etc. All combined, there are a lot of choices when it comes to the physical appearance of the Apple Watch on your wrist, spanning a huge price range. The Motorola watch comes closest on this score, but it's still a distant second.

I disagree with "generally". It depends on what kind of programming you do.

I'm a web developer, so when I'm programming, I often have a database GUI, full IDE, multiple browsers, multiple Docker containers, and RDBMS running.

That ends up at about 4GB of RAM, depending on what's in my database.

It's interesting when you look at hunting dogs in my country.

People hunting deer will favour breeds like the German Shorthaired Pointer or Vizsla for their particular hunting characteristics suitable for hunting deer in thick bush, while pig hunters will tend to use mongrels who have been tested in the field and excel at one of the roles needed in a pig hunting pack - finders, bailers and holders.

I'm not sure which approach is better in working dogs, the aristocracy or the meritocracy.
The last time I read about this, it was expected that, at one point, in 2020 or so, electrical vehicle batteries are finally going to become a relatively important component of the battery market. There's a lot of money being poured into it because a lot of people are trying to move towards electric vehicles, but in terms of actual numbers being produced, the EVBs are dwarfed even by regular car batteries. Of course, EVBs are incredibly important, especially from an R&D perspective, but I don't think the market is being driven my them. My information may be a little out of date though.

As for consumer electronics, it's worth remembering that there are probably thousands of coin-cell operated keychains for every smartphone whose energy density capacity is not being satisfied by our current technology. There are a lot of consumer electronic devices for which current battery technology is OK -- better density would be an improvement, as it is everywhere, but it's no longer the hog it is for smartphones. For those, ease of recycling, lack of fire hazard and the slightly simpler circuitry really are important.
HFS+ is not fundamentally unreliable. The potential exists for data corruption to occur in the amount of time required for the kernel to panic and halt. Even when that happens it still requires the stars to align and catch the HFS+ process writing data to the wrong place with exactly the right bits of memory being flipped. Even when that happens the chances or those bits landing on non-free user data with no file format supplied error correction further reduces the chances of data corruption. Even when that happens many file formats suffering from data corruption can be salvaged. Of course if you have a backup of any kind the odds of the same exact file / bits on both drives being corrupted causing permanent data loss are astronomical. Add a third offsite / cloud backup and it'd be way more worthwhile to worry about being eaten by sharks.
Gruber is terrible. I'm completely unapologetic about my opinion about him. He's everything that's wrong in tech news today. He's been able to carve a niche for himself preaching to a choir of folks with large disposable incomes by providing unashamed regurgitation of Apple's marketing bullet points so that people can reinforce their beliefs by having another bullet point that they made the right technology purchase. If his recent posts continued his tradition of information free praise, I'd still be flagging them off the front-page. I can think of very few tech writers as well known as him who offer less useful information than he does on any topic.

You are right, Apple didn't get where they are by producing crap, but they also didn't get where they are without getting it wrong sometimes, and it's really hard to find cases where Gruber recognizes that without bookending and drowning issues in a thousand words of qualification. Sure, he gets to point to the sentence among dozens where he mentions something that might, just maybe, be wrong, but the context he places issues in minimize and excuse these issues away.

The question he needs to be answering is not if the Apple Watch is the best smartwatch on the market, I don't doubt that it is. But it's, "are smartwatches a good idea?". He's not capable of answering that question honestly because to Gruber, anything Apple does is a good idea, Apple is doing a smartwatch, therefore it must be a good idea. He waits till Apple tells him how to think, then he write a post recycling and expanding on their marketing direction -- and he does this completely unironically.

If you read his review with a critical eye it boils down to this:

- It's a terrible watch (there's about 1,000 words trying to weazel around what a shitty watch it is)

- The industrial design is nice

- He hasn't found much value in the expressed use-cases it shipped with

- If you don't wear watches, you'll probably be more interested in it than people who already wear watches

There, almost 6,000 words boiled down to the 4 main bullet points, and only the hardware received any real praise. I think it's interesting that these 4 bullet points are echoed in most of the early reviews I've seen. The problems he mentions, then tries to bury, are expanded on in more honest reviews.

They aren't really problems with Apple's version of the Smart Watch per se, but with the idea of Smart Watches as a class of product. It's really hard to come up with a Smart Watch that makes any kind of sense, and it's pretty clear that Apple hasn't been able to justify it (and if Apple can't crack that nut who can?)

Will Apple sell millions of them? Yeah probably. I wonder how many will be to people who made their purchase decision after reading daringfireball?

It's all on Guthub, it's all normal fork and sending in PRs. They are surprisingly cooperative. And by that I mean, I've never had my patched accepted so willingly. At the same time I've received good advice on style-guides and technical issues with my patches.

For errors I don't immediately see a resolution for, I've created issues and usually that has either been picked up by the .NET-team itself or they've provided me enough feedback to work it out myself.

When submitting small patches nothing special is needed, but for bigger patches you need to sign a "contributer agreement". Which is done all online, automatically and in a matter of mouse-clicks.

The .NET-team has really done a good job here, especially considering how they said "they were really new to this (OSS thing), so please bear with us" when this whole thing was first announced.

Exactly. And rolling your own is pretty wasteful when most "off the shelf" ones are good enough for most use cases.
I recently tried to automate windows machines as well. You are spot on. Dealing with obscure objects requires you to make mock calls and try and reflect on the underlying types. With bash, you don't have types, just text, which allows you to think outside the box.

Powershell reeks of development with C# on Windows. You have specific function calls that can do very niche things such as convert an application to a virtual machine in IIS. The problem comes up when you are trying to do something novel or just out of the scope of what Microsoft thought up. Bash allows for those things by having separate and reusable components that do their one job well.

Get-Object and Set-Object don't work universally as advertised so you can't just write boilerplate and expect things to work. Instead, you have to google "how do I set up a virtual application?" or "how do I change bindings to an existing virtual application?" You'll get the job done, but you won't feel like you learned anything. I'm glad you wrote this up. It's been something that's been bothering me, but I was having difficulty verbalizing it.
