Yes, it does, by far in fact. Try turning on an app that requires high precision location values (that's an option to app developers for this reason) and see how long your battery lasts, even with cellular data turned off.
I could never figure out why fixies were so popular with the SF hipsters in a city with such steep hills. Or how fixies make hipsters so hip, for that matter. In Amsterdam, where it's flat enough that one-speed bikes are practical, fixies are called "Oma Fiets" for "Granny Bikes". http://www.workcycles.com/home-products/handmade-city-bicycl...
> Certainly not, if the $10 is a bribe. Would you?

Probably not, even if only because I'm not the kind of person who'd even get into a position to bribe someone for personal gain.

But there's this thing called "psychopaths", and they do seek out bribing opportunities and they don't have any problem whatsoever with paying bribes too.

> No, it is a criminal offence, in most places. And for good reason.

Sure, but the people taking the bribes are part of the organization that's supposed to punish people for taking bribes (i.e. "criminal offenses"). See a problem there?

For me OSX gives one very clear advantage over Linux. Time.

Running Linux I found myself constantly wasting time on fixing WiFi card drivers, etc after every update. I don't have time for that shit. A Macbook may be more expensive out of the box but the extra time I can spend on stuff that is important (and fun) is worth it.

I used at OS X at work for 2 years and hated it. It's a nightmare for doing real software development on. Now I have a GNU/Linux workstation and things are much better.

Cue the OS X apologists.
That talk is riveting. Thanks for sharing.
This is yet another example of concept that is widely used but, AFAIK, has no clear definition and falls into the larger picture of consciousness: instinct. Actions that animals just do without any prior learning period. Examples are everywhere in nature. And this is puzzling to say the least.

Standard evolutionary picture posits that behavior is emergent on underling neurological structures, basically all the way down to chemical reactions. This is a premise and in no way yet proven.

But, as far as we know, physical laws do now allow behavior and functions, that is result-oriented actions (series of events and causal interactions). Many confuse complexity (as in "many things brought together in fancy patterns [1]), with complexity of systems that perform a function. The best definition that I could come up with for the latter has to do with a consistent transformation of one form of energy into another form with a clear result that is not just a mere physical consequence of the reactions initianing the process (such as pressure inside earth that cause a vulcano erruption). It should be clear to anyone that ants digging trough the dirt is categorically different than water flowing down the hill.

I don't really use chrome. If the widgets don't look native that's fine, but do they behave natively? If they're not drawn by gtk, do the standard keybindings work if they've been changed from gtk's defaults. If not that would be quite infuriating to use.
Ask HN: I know how to reset any Nexmo.com account, but nobody cares
Nexmo.com provides messaging and voice solutions, such as SMS gateway functionality, and has prominent customers like Airbnb. On May I found a serious security vulnerability on their website that enables anyone to reset the password of any account on Nexmo.com by knowing the accounts email address and thus to take over an account and see what SMS messages were sent by the account, happily use credits of the account, et cetera.

I tried to figure out how to contact them about the security vulnerability, they don't have a dedicated site about security nor how security researchers can contact them, like Github and many others have (https://help.github.com/articles/github-security/). Which make me think about how important security is to that company, but anyway.

So I ended up writing to their general-purpose support email address describing that I've found a highly severe security vulnerability related to password resets and would like to get in touch with someone from their IT security department or similar. And here's what they replied:

"Thanks for your email - this challenge has finished already, but we appreciate you contacting us."

Wait ... this "challenge" has finished already? What the serious f*?!

So I replied and explained to them that my inquiry isn't about a "challenge" but a serious security hole on their site.

Finally, it seemed that they understood what I wanted and they replied with the following:

"Thanks for letting us know about this, as a result of your email we are investigating it internally. If we need any further information from you we will let you know."

The reply seemed a bit weird to me. Why don't just get in touch with me so I can explain the vulnerability? I respected their answer.

As of today, the security vulnerability is still present. How can you as a company just simply not even care about security and customer information?

So HN, what should I do? Just forget about it?
In this case: frat excludes females.

A typical American university "frat party" is hosted at a fraternity, and also welcomes attendees of both sexes.

The drinking-to-excess issue is a separate issue from the party theme. It sounds like they were going for a "college throwback" concept rather than "drink to excess".

(One hopes that professionals in the workplace realize that they probably shouldn't drink 'til they puke and fall under the beer pong table.)
As an i3wm user, sometimes, but not always, after resuming from sleep, chrome puts context menues (and only context menues) on my other screen, so I wholeheartedly agree that Aura and multi-monitor (tiling?) setups have some issues.
The problem isn't that some existing housing has rent-control. The problem is that 75% of rental stock is under rent-control, and there's a 35% owner-occupancy rate (with a strict limit on property-tax increases), meaning that ~84% of the city's available housing stock is allocated to subsidize old residents at the expense of new ones.

How does anyone expect to have affordable housing with a growing population if, effectively, only 16% of the entire housing stock is allowed to be allocated to new arrivals at market rates? It would be another thing if some form of subsidized-rate housing was also offered for newcomers to SF, but instead what we get is a tiered system in which existing residents are set against newcomers, with landowners being the only ones to really benefit.

Is transparency and customisability really so fundamentally incompatible with closed source software? The fact that the source code is not available does not prevent the availability of clear documentation detailing system functionality (whether or not you can verify whether the two correspond is another argument). Detailed documentation can allow for customisability by swapping out closed-source defaults.

I agree that the OP was never going to be happy with OS X, but were his expectations really so misguided? His requirements were not unreasonable.

That's not exactly true.

You'll notice a difference in battery life without a doubt. That said, if nothing is listening for that GUID, then there's zero impact to battery life.

Man there's a lot of FUD in that article, but this one in particular:

I mentioned this earlier, but most developers use virtual machines
in order to properly use OS X. The very notion that your operating
system is so lacking that it is easier to just run a virtual
operating system to fill the gaps shows you that there is clearly
something very wrong with this model.

No, the reason to run a virtual machine is that I'm not running OSX on my production servers, so why would I develop against a different target than my deploy target? You could pretty easily run nginx, node.js, golang programs, dbs, etc. on a Mac, and some people do, but if you're running VMs its because you want to mirror your deployment system architecture into dev and reduce a slew of corner-case bugs that might crop up otherwise.
I want to use a different training set. That is the hard part.

> In an ideal democratic system, opposing parties would seek to expose corruption in public officials and use it to their advantage, thereby dis-incentivizing the misappropriation of public funds.

Look, "misappropriating public funds" is exactly why someone would work hard to get into a position where he's in charge of public funds. No one does anything without some personal gain involved.

> Obviously no democracy is perfectly ideal, but your armchair analysis hasn't exactly blown a hole in modern governing theory.

On the other hand, you haven't exactly blown a hole in the fact that people act according to incentives, and people in charge of vast amounts of other people's money presents a massive incentive for both bribing them and them accepting bribes.

> more of mismanagement than corruption

How do you tell them apart, especially considering "mismanagement" would be an excellent cover for blatant bribery. "Oh this silly city official guy chose a completely shitty service provider for this project. Maybe he'll check their track record next time!"

Using a loop of that length (for ($i=0;$i<10000;$i++)) on a site allowing people to execute code, and then linking it to HN effectively amounts to a do-it-yourself DDoS. I don't think I wanna be the host of that site right now.
Because max value should be "mt_getrandmax()" instead of "PHP_INT_MAX", it just gets a 32 bit number then scales it up.

see: http://php.net/manual/en/function.mt-rand.php

Under caution:

The distribution of mt_rand() return values is biased towards even numbers on 64-bit builds of PHP when max is beyond 2^32. This is because if max is greater than the value returned by mt_getrandmax(), the output of the random number generator must be scaled up.

What's the stance on using tabs to keep the stuff after keywords lined up? Whacking space a bunch of times to keep an OR lined in a WHERE clause is incredibly annoying. Why not just go WHERE\tcol1 = 3\n\t\tORcol2=6

select	*
from	asdf
where	col1 = 5
or	col2 = 6

I'll concede that the river is less pretty, but it's substantially easier to type, and SQL keywords are remarkably conducive to being tabbed around.

EDIT: Perhaps hilariously, by preceding the code with two spaces, the stuff got out of alignment. I'm adding another two padding spaces to start. (I usually use a 4 space tab, but I can see how the river becomes a bit wide on 8.)

Also, how is OS X not transparent in its workings? Underdocumented, yes. But Linux's man pages aren't exactly a model of consistency and clarity, either.

Best Business Plans
It's not perfect but it makes it possible to spot lies. For example if you manage your company's profile on LinkedIn you can see when a new person says they've started working for you, and you can click a "they don't really work here" button. Of course people can still claim to work for "Y C0mbinator", but then on their profile it won't click through to the same company as listed on other people's profiles.

It also let's you make better judgements on likelihood they're lying. It's not impossible to create an authentic-looking fake profile, but generally speaking if you see someone claiming to work for X company and connected to lots of employees from X company it's a safe bet that they worked there.

Indeed - one of the main selling points of OSX has always been its UI (where swipy gestures are rather handy), simplicity, and 'it just works' appeal. If you don't care about any of those things it's clearly going to lose a lot of it's appeal.

Out of curiosity, when did you experience the issues with the drivers and such? I know that was a problem in the past (and I fought with it as well), but for at least the past 4 years, I have found linux to work "out of the box" on several machines, without any fiddling of that nature. I suppose there could still be some problematic hardware, but lately, I have found linux to be much quicker to get up and running. I used an iMac for ~4 years of my PhD, while using a linux laptop alongside it. I found it was easier and faster to use the linux machine's package manager to get up and running for python coding, compared to the package managers for Macs (I tried several).

First of all, "he" is not interested in your well-being, so he might as well get a good deal with a total price of X, but mark down X + Y as the expenses, and then pocket the difference.

And second, free competition drives quality up and prices down, so you'll get a good deal that way too. There's plenty of "economy of scale" in millions of people seeking out the best deal on whatever.

I use OSX every day for "real development". I develop in Java and I can deploy the same things from OSX to my Linux (Centos) servers and know they're going to work as expected. In addition to similar environments, I can use real MS Office so that I can actually communicate with the rest of the corporation and have exactly the same formats and such (which is a huge time saver on both ends).
This was an important step in that direction but I don't think it's there yet.

I would suggest a different approach: Prefer either the plural or singular form, depending on which your ORM prefers. It may not be pretty from a purely stylistic perspective, but the collective forms have a few specific problems:

- mapping is not intuitive for non-native English speakers (flora, really?!)

- manual table mapping needed for ORM systems

I'd prefer the singular, but ActiveRecord uses the plural, and I'd rather go along with the default, rather than fight and create friction for my team.

EDIT: looking closer, the style guide is great, but the naming conventions are atrocious. I'm reminded of what my Intro to CS TA told us: naming stuff is hard, so try to explain your code. If you have to explain what something is, the explanation should be the name (within reason)
As a consultant, I only see web site producers making an effort to curb poor web practices when Google forces them to: Google's move to boost mobile-friendly design in the rankings has driven us a TON of responsive design work.

It's a usability mindset thing. Apple's software is great if you can live within their vision. Microsoft aims at everyone from newbie to an elite power user. Linux, well, you can do anything you want but it's on your head if you screw it up (or it screws itself up).

To view it from a political perspective, it's a scale from authoritarian (Apple) to libertarian (Linux). Those who are used to surviving on their own probably don't appreciate the rules (like putting up with superfluous visual effects).
