I have a mid-2012 15" non-Retina MBP and I don't think I'm going to upgrade yet either, still waiting for the new processors to be released in the 15". Added an SSD and put a hybrid drive in my Superdrive to hold me off. My patience is starting to run thin though. :/
Clearly you have never worked in the trading industry ;)
You can also save them, since it has no DRM. That's "innovative" (semi-sarcasm intended). Meaning that it's actually consumer friendly, unlike what is normally offered.
My father died in extremely unexpected circumstances, and as much as a will would've been handy (understatement of the year), there are other bits that save heartache and frustrated compromise.

For example:

- do you want to be buried or cremated? And where? Any thoughts on coffin design?

- do you want a church service or something else? What songs, how big, as many details as possible.

It's morbid stuff, but by writing it down informally somewhere, you lift the burden from your loved ones having to make unknown "it's what he would have wanted" guesses.
Note that the 2PC in Ndb is not quite the same as that used for the normal '2PC is blocking' arguments :

1. The transaction coordinator (TC) role is
automatically taken over in case of the
failure of the coordinator during commit.
The new coordinator uses the surviving
participants' states to quickly decide
on Commit or Abort so that locked
resources are released.

2. As the participants are part of an integrated
system, failure of both the coordinator and
e.g. the only participant to be aware of the
commit decision can be handled correctly.
In this case the transaction is quickly
aborted by the new coordinator and on recovery
the old participant will 'undo' its local
committed-state before rejoining the cluster.

3. Participants' local commit decisions are not
coupled directly to lock release / visibility
of those decisions. Locks are released only
when the participant-failure-durability of
the commit decision is assured (e.g. all
replicas have committed).

4. Ndb has a third phase (The complete phase)
which releases locks on replicas. This is
not the same as the algorithm referred to
as three phase commit, so we don't call it
three phase commit. Also, the third Complete
phase is not part of the critical commit
path - the commit acknowledgement is sent
to the application prior to the start of
the third phase, so it does not affect
the user's experienced commit latency.

Not all '2PC' implementations are created equal.
I do seriously wonder how this stacks up to Intel's "Clear Linux / Clear Containers" which are also a sort of hybrid kvm/container model that uses hardware VT for better isolation:

I'm glad GitHub have started this blog, it's great when an organisation as large as theirs shares information about how they're tackling common problems.
Yup, back in those days games required the CD in to play not because they had to check you bought the game but because the games actually required the resources on the disc.

My parents were so cheap I didn't even have encarta but some cheap IBM branded clone.
So, I think they actually do suit what you're painting as ideal partners. I used to go to one's parties back in college. He's working his way up in his field and doing well -- he's a hustler, which is something I can appreciate. We all come from the same place (let's just say we're definitely not rich and we definitely always had to worry about getting robbed and/or killed going home from work/school growing up). The tenacity is there.

But they're talking 5 years of commitment. Tech experience isn't something they have, but I know that at least one has entrepreneurial experience (just hasn't exited or anything). Again, he hustles.

Definitely talk about yachts and painting the picture of there being far less in our lives than there "will" be after building this app.
Yep, that's... interesting. For sure real time web application needs better reactivity when scaling up and down. But you can already achieve this kind of reaction time on existing platforms that uses Docker for example (disclaimer: I'm working on the Scalingo PaaS that already supports MeteorJS app, see https://scalingo.com/meteorjs-hosting).
I'm sorry -- but Putin employs professional trolls to comment, often in teams of 2 or 3, often speaking amongst themselves to first divert and then control the conversation, on forums just like this one: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9269760

That makes it a bit difficult to respond in good faith to people who chime in with vague, 'you people believe the western media too much' comments.

But I'd be interested in knowing your response to concrete things I mentioned in my comment. For instance, how wealthy is Putin? How about his close allies? And how did they make their fortunes? And is he in an endless Presidency, or not?

(None of which is to say that Putin hasn't been a fantastically successful President; he reintroduced the stability necessary for Russia to succeed, which it really has during his Presidency ... but the problems with success via concentration of power in one man are age-old, and a common one is a foreign policy, motivated by entirely domestic concerns and a desire to stay on top, that appears irrational on the international stage).
I haven't had problems with AMD drivers on Windows, but on Linux I tried the AMD proprietary driver recently based on hearing good things. The version in Ubuntu 14.04 had noticeable tearing when scrolling, and Team Fortress 2 froze my computer. So I tried using the beta driver from AMD, and it broke things seemingly beyond repair (I spent hours going through suggestions on Stack Overflow). So to those who are considering trying it out, try it with caution!

Keeping staff healthy would reduce the number of sick employees at any given time. There is no way this will actually be as cheap as $1k per plane, but almost any smallish one time cost will eventually pay for itself if you can meaningfully improve worker health.
> I lean against the idea of formal exams (a "bar" for software). I'm not completely opposed to it, but if it happens, I'd prefer to establish it completely independently of any professional engineering accreditation, since I just don't think computer science, or even the modern practice of writing software, is sufficiently similar to engineering to be considered a subset of the PE exams.

Too late, the first NCEES software PE exam was in 2013. It uses the IEEE/ACM Software Engineering Book of Knowledge as a base and seems close to what the old IEEE CSDP certification was trying to do. It's intended (as I see it) for formally trained engineers who are working on software-intensive projects rather than developers who want to do engineering work. Your point about having someone besides NCEES do the licensure was tried (IEEE) and at least for now will not be happening going forward.

To your earlier point, I do expect someone calling themselves an engineer to have a basic grounding in chemistry, physics (mechanics, E&M, thermo), heat and mass transfer, calculus, etc.—basically, the first 2 years of engineering education common to all disciplines. I also expect that they're respecting professional standards and ethics. I realize that "software engineers" feel like they're an exception and it irritates me to no end, but I also don't see the cat being stuffed back into the bag at this point.

edit: One frustration I've had recently was in hiring an engineer on a software-intensive medical device project, and getting a bunch of web developers applying for the role. I needed someone with an actual engineering background, and tried filtering by including engineering undergraduate degree as a requirement and "professional engineer" as a preferred requirement, to no avail. If Silicon Valley wants to call everyone off the street a software engineer, that's fine, but I need a job title to use in hiring for safety critical software projects.

Well if they provided a MKV file for sale then anyone could use it on their devices how they see fit. Similarly to how people can download mp3 files and play them on any device they want.

The current situation is that I have to watch TV shows via EME within Chrome or Flash or Silverlight (non of which I would otherwise have near my computer) or not be able to pay the content producers any money (which I like doing because I want new content created). It is as if I had to own a sony TV to tune into certain channels and a panasonic TV to watch others.

If they want to prevent piracy then simply watermark the MKV files individually, register the sales and sue the buyers who's MKVs end up being torrented.
So our democratically elected and reelected Parliament is junta and you say you are not a paid commentator.

Really don't like the force touch trackpad for some reason... it feels a lot like the old macbook pro trackpad after years of use - kinda damp and spongey. There is nothing like the 'pop' of a new Mac trackpad, but I guess those days are over... ha.
Why is it ridiculous ? I cannot comment on a topic that I'm passionate about ?

Unless you use Chrome, of course. I generally get around 6-8 while using Chrome, Skype, Spotify, and Atom.
The false dichotomy is that if one opposes one group one can't oppose the other. Or that if there are several bad things, drawing attention to one means approving another.
I can't fathom how they can keep releasing iMac updates yet the Thunderbolt display is four years old.

Almost any decent enterprise identity management solution (read: Active Directory, FreeIPA) includes user certificate management in some fashion; or if you want a separate CA for VPN access it's not hard to write a couple scripts to generate user certificates and revoke them as needed.
Paradoxically, torrenting sometimes is the only way to get an obscure show/movie they don't even sell anymore. I'll take few seeders over nothing at all.
There might be. I bet flight attendants take more sick days than most workers do and there are very real financial implications of a flight being delayed due to lack of staff.

Mindestlohn also applies to interns:

> http://www.gesetze-im-internet.de/milog/__22.html

The main exception is if the internship is required for finishing or beginning a degree course or done while a degree course (but read the text of the law yourself for the remaining exceptions).

This was criticized a lot when the law adopted, since there can be good reasons to do an internship even after finishing university even if it is paid really badly (say, as a reference).

It's not restricted to TV there it's all the same in internet.
If I'm reading the linked projections correctly, even the worst predicitions put us at less then three minutes off from the earths rotation by the year 2100, and it will take somewhere in the area a thousand years to be off by an hour.

I'll be frank: if we haven't progressed to the point that those offsets generally don't matter by those points in time, we've probably already failed as a species.

I say we drop leap seconds.
I avoid flying because I always end up ill afterwards. There is a cost to airlines of doing nothing.
We already have these. UTC keeps the the time lined up with an earth day, while GPS and TAI are absolute times.
"I'm a developer so I know what I'm talking about which means that Apple must be wrong!"

The technical changes of bringing a service like iCloud photos must be massive when compared to projects that most of us here work on. Millions (billions?) of users, petabytes(?) of images, support for Desktop and Mobile and Web, and launched worldwide? Seems to me like they've done a pretty great job handling this!

I'm a long time user of Aperture and have built up ~200GB of RAW Photos, and there's no way I trust icloud photos to handle this without corrupting things with no backup in place that I can control (Sync != Backup). So for now, I've only setup iCloud photos to work with my iPhone photos (~6Gb, which so far, has worked excellently. I haven't had any sync issues, in fact sync has been pretty quick for uploads/edits/deletions/meta.

Of cause, this doesn't mean that issues will become apparent with larger 100GB+ libraries.

Personally, Photos is missing power features that aperture had and i used extensively, but the promise of a synced photos library across all my devices, previews and metadata, as a system level service for 3rd party integration is the icing on the cake.
What sold me on Uber/Lyft (back when Lyft was still in Houston) was the fact they'd reliably show up when called.

Sure, I live in a sketchy neighborhood that's gentrifying, sure I may need a ride at an ungodly hour to the airport (4-6am) but if you agree to come and then don't show...

I hacked taxi rides by having my wife drive me to the closest hotel and then making the driver take me home for my wife and our luggage. But yeah the second I could switch I did. They brought it on themselves.

Another bit of advice, if you have prepared these basic documents, it is a good idea to review them periodically.

It is particularly important to review and revise these documents after life changing events: getting married, having children, or when parents or executor becomes elderly, incapacitated, or dies.
Erlang's model is entirely appropriate, but the language and VM aren't. This code is often running on small embedded chips (so you'd need to port the VM) and the software has hard real-time requirements, which the Erlang VM is not (currently) set up to handle, nor would it necessarily be able to achieve on the commonly used processors. Another strike against the language (as much as I love it) is that it's dynamically typed. That's less appropriate for this sort of software. There are static analysis tools for Erlang that mitigate this, but it's still an issue. Large classes of bugs and errors can be eliminated or minimized with statically typed languages or with static analysis tools if they're well integrated into the build process. A real-time, statically typed language with Erlang's semantics and compiled to native binaries would be a boon, however.

I'll speak to the 787 avionics system. It used a system of channels/buffers and processes very much like what Erlang and Go use for interprocess communication (I'm trying to remember now if channels could be received in multiple processes like Go or if only a single process could receive like in Erlang). This was an excellent model for what we were doing, and really for a lot of systems this sort of CSP and actor style model maps well.
ehhh. no. About what you are saying.
The problem with H1B is that it is half-sourcing. Sure, they are full time local workers, but they also lack the ability to quit and stay in the USA. So they aren't truly part of the local job scene either.

The system needs to be changed so that a tech worker who gets pulled over can quickly get residency and a path to citizenship.

I'd also make sure that anyone graduating from an decent American university gets permanent residency. If we are going to let Stanford or UIUC charge these people 40k a year to go to school and become some of the finest engineers, they should be able to be American Engineers.

Postgresql would be great, though if they wanted to keep the document style database of Mongo, maybe they could use something like RethinkDB and use its javascript driver?
And this is why antitrust law exists.
We know how to keep the talent at home. The simple solution is to pay them more money (which people tend to crave). But because most European countries have more social security cushion, we tend to pay more taxes. This makes it difficult to compete for companies in say France, Germany, Sweden, etc.

So, at the risk of being extremely antagonistic with this, the solution is for us as societies to start caring less about the less fortunate and give more to the "job creators" like it's done in the USA.

Then we'll be able to compete on a level ground.
Not true. I've seen gay people and bars in Russia. You clearly have never been there. Go back to watching MSNBC and screaming MUrica
> a quad core processor with far larger cache (it's the version with the 128MB eDRAM)

The 128MB of eDRAM is for the Iris Pro integrated graphics.

> far faster graphics

I was not disputing this.

> higher resolution screen

Well, more raw pixels. Lower DPI.

> four times the storage.

Again, not disputing this.

Still don't see the $700 of value.

On the other hand I found a nice spa close by I have to visit now.
I'm not a contractor, but wouldn't dividing by 2000 be a bit excessive? That would be 40 hours x 50 weeks, and everything I've read about contracting implies that you cannot bank on having constant work like that.

The sort of complex ideas to create a movie script or a song are lacking, especially good ones. Just because it's easy doesn't mean it isn't scarce.

Any moron could make a cup, but cups don't have zero scarcity. And its easier to make a copy than a whole story for a movie.

The goal should be prevention instead of control. I work in infection prevention and control so can shed some light on this.

The two major diseases people on planes should be worried about are measles and chickenpox. Both of which have excellent vaccines to prevent illness.

TB is airborne but not highly transmissible, for example, the public health department where I live will only conduct exposure follow up for TB patients that were on a plane for longer than 7 hours, and only start with 2 rows in front, and 2 rows behind. Only if those passengers seroconvert for TB will they test the rest of the plane.

Things like SARS/MERS-CoV are also a concern, but the control should be to prevent these people from getting on the plane in the first place (temperature monitoring).

Influenza and other respiratory viruses are a concern, but these are spread through larger droplets and therefore only really concern those directly next to you (likely family members) and you are just as likely to pick it up in the airport lounge than on the plane.

Cool invention, but just a minor cog in the chain of infection.
Thanks for the constructive feedback! I had a much longer description, but was limited to 2000 characters. Will re-work and re-post. This would be my 3rd start-up: first one (sold) was in collegiate publishing; second one was a service company that I turned into a passive revenue stream and is still running without my involvement.

>The meeting starts when I get there. Learned it from one of my bosses

This is equivalent to saying "I am the most important person in the room every time". Even if it's true, it's a destructive and disrespectful message to be sending constantly. And if it isn't true, it's disingenuous on top of being destructive.

Living abroad, I take Uber over taxis for just this reason. It's not that Uber drivers speak English here, it's that I don't care if they do because we don't need to talk about where I'm going.

It's at least a checklist and covers stuff you should be thinking about but may not have thought of (even if not financial such as the Thoughts section).

For instance, my wife and I need more videos of us and not just the kid. If something happened to me tomorrow I would love it if my wife could show him videos of me when he gets older.

I agree that maybe the site needs a disclaimer that getting a lawyer is better but for some isn't a generic form better than nothing? Not a lawyer either so not entirely sure about that.
I can't speak for the rovers, but in my experience you start with the UTC time and the convert to a UT1 for space launches. We have to correct for the difference, which is called DUT1: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DUT1
In the US, copyright is also more about sharing/uploading than downloading (if I remember right, all of the RIAA lawsuits were for uploading). The bigger issue is if the exploit has you download something that's illegal to possess (eg: illegal pornography).
