I had an offer to be a co-founder, but passed on it.
Are notebook users really mostly buying the notebook only to watch videos

Yes, that and do a little email and Facebook.

Most people who buy laptops (or any PC) are not programmers.
Wherever the blame may be, and whatever the punishments are, the fact is that the quote was more prescient than inaccurate: we should have legislated better in the early days of the automobile. Now it is too late (or will take too long for changes to take effect): the automobiles are ruling the roads, and specially the cities, from streets to parking lots. Urban planning is done (in most cases) with the goal of facilitating car circulation - pedestrians and bicycles are an afterthought, when at all.
I simply figured that the Church might know more than I do, given that my personality is still forming.

I should maybe mention that by embedded worldview, I meant more like little seeds. By no means do I have a complete ethical, philosophical, moral system which explains EVERYTHING in the universe. I think philosophy is the job of philosophers, theology the job of theologists, etc. But Catholic teachings were a very logical next step from the way I feel about certain things.
Many widely used developer tools have been free(as in freedom) for decades. This is natural, as developers are actually competent enough to take advantage of that fact by virtue of knowing how to code. So many tools become popular because of their extensibility and hackability.

These questions make security professionals sound pretty dumb. I'd look for someone who understands systems deeper than the people who build on them.

Here on HN, we look for credibility in terms of projects and businesses launched. The security world looks for community contributions and research.

These questions are too much like a vocabulary exam with extremely low expectations. If all you're looking for is someone who breathes and can tell the difference between HTTP and HTML--you're missing a lot that a real security professional can bring to the table.

[P.S. I reread the questions and now I know why this article bothers me--they sound like regurgitated certification questions. Monkies get certifications, hackers do stuff. Ask these questions when you want to hire a monkey. If you want someone who breathes security, hold them to the same standards you'd hold a developer to--ask them to show you something they've worked on.]
> trying to make async processes look like they are synchronous

That is NOT what async/await is about — after all, async explicitly marks functions as asynchronous. Not exactly trying to hide that.

Async/await is syntactic sugar. It is there to make working with Promises less verbose.

That is almost all: await pauses current function execution in the main event loop, which is an important detail

> Really, I'm curious where you got this fact.

I don't know if the FBI is the largest distributor, but I'd be surprised if they weren't a major distributor.

Why? Because that's how such organizations typically work and even if you assume good will, it's pretty much the only way that they can attempt to deal with such crimes.

It's fine to use the open source option. The more people who use it and help contribute to it the better.

However, saying that you can live with the occasional nagging of the paid option violates the license. It's an honor system.

Later, we should rip on all those unethical MBA's. Those "losers" need to be taught ethics. Ridiculous!
Heh, I remember reading a shameless self-promotion post from you on Slashdot a few months back. Looks like things have turned out well, and I'm considering getting one myself. Nice work!
I'm not asking why you think freedom of speech is a guiding principle and a human right. I get that and I agree that freedom of speech is incredibly important. I have spent a lot of mental time over the last few years thinking about that belief in relationship to my feeling that it's bad to cause pain.

This is not a simple problem.

However, it's also irrelevant to my question: why do you think that the admin of 8chan has a different moral obligation vis a vis free speech than the admin of Hacker News? You said that allowing people to set up their own communities was important, and I sincerely don't know why that makes a difference here.

It's OK with me if you misspoke, and you think that Hacker News should operate under the same principles as 8chan.
Do you honestly believe that the majority of individuals in the United States have complicated or unusual taxes? Do you believe that most individuals have tax situations that change significantly year to year? I suggest you talk with some European colleagues about how prefilled tax forms work in their home countries. I think you’ll be surprised.

AFAIK all the serious Painting apps on both Android and iOS are implemented in OpenGL.
The native UI frameworks of these platforms are not designed for this very specific usecase.
And yet with a modem and comm software, they could all connect to online services -- The Source, CompuServe, BBSes.
Helicopter from Ebaumsworld "copied" it too. There are approximately millions copies of 2D-something-flies-and-avoids-obstacles games. First one was created approximately 20 years ago or sooner.

Almost all of them are boring and few of them are able to keep players interested for more then 10 seconds.

Transforming simple idea almost everybody else had into something that keeps players engaged counts as achievement too.

Given madness it caused in minds of some people, I'm fine with calling it simple evil genius.
The mechanic is different.
The /entire article/ is listing arguments why the author believes "it's just a copy, lol" doesn't ring true. Which ones are you disagreeing with?
Very interesting. Removing human error is maybe overstating the benefit, since you can still introduce bugs in your use of the DSL, but it's very interesting. The writeup is pretty opaque to me, but I'd love to see some libraries build on this.
I don't know about you, but here on Planet Earth I only have 24 hours in my day. I'm happy to spend 10-15 mins reading an original article on something I currently know nothing about, but not an hour dedicated to it.
FYI, I am a heavy reader, hence why I'd sooner spend my time reading something I enjoy (like a book!).
You could always use emacs evil-pluging.

That sounds like precisely QubeOS's use case.
I think that is still a valid concern. Features first hit the C++ API and then slowly migrate to a C expressible subset.
This didn't seem to contain much information..
> What I wonder is how they plan to monetize free windows 10 as a service.

I've seen no reports of free Windows 10 at all, just free upgrades in the first year of release from older Windows versions (so that Windows 10 rapidly builds an install base, rapidly becomes a target for developers, and therefore becomes more attractive as a new purchase due to the software built for it.)
Can someone explain this to me? The government seems to report that inflation is very low, bordering on deflation.

But what I see is the cost of these things skyrocketing: education, housing, and health care. That is -- the things that real people actually need! I don't care about the cost of cell phones and TVs and so forth. Or even gas (for me). Those are a drop in the bucket.

Education: I graduated in 2001 from an Ivy League university. It cost $32K a year as far as I remember. The same thing costs $50K or so now? That's a pretty astounding increase in such a short time.

Housing: Obviously situations are different throughout the country, but in the wealthier areas like NYC and the Bay Area housing prices seems out of control. I feel like housing prices aren't falling in the US in general besides economically distressed places like Detroit, but I could be wrong.

Health care: Costs also seem to be rising quickly, but admittedly that is probably because health care is generally much better than it was 50 years ago and people will pay anything to survive, and they are surviving in greater rates (e.g. compare Iraq veterans to veterans of previous wars.)

Sure all of these are just anecdotes. But I think there is something to the experience that education, housing, and health care are increasing in cost. Probably the main reason is that they are NOT as affected by globalization. And they are essential to life.

Lumping everything together under "inflation" or "deflation" seems misleading. There are many different parts of the economy and they have different properties.
Windows Phone 10 apps seem less convenient than in Windows Phone 7. Some of the gestures gone, hamburger menus instead... And why are the app menu buttons on top instead of bottom?

I understand that they want to have the same codebase on all three screen sizes, but simple 'responsive' approach is not perfect.

The WP10 platforms needs to make the best of its advantages, not become the second android mess where every app has different UX philosophy. MS should provide gudelines for tailoring apps to WP, but srsly atm they need to fix these office apps before releasing them.
It's pretty hilarious seeing people suggesting that someone fundamentally unable to engage in empathy, perspective-taking, or second-order strategizing...is actually making some big-brain play to hold down the extremist end so that more moderate voices and exist.

Stallman is infamous for his inability to recognize viewpoints other than his own as having worth or validity. He is literally incapable of such a big-brain plan because there's no way he could see a moderate position as valid.
I don't think you understand. Most people consciously using free software do not read the source code, or modify it. The value of libre software is no less to them - it only takes one canary or developer to alert the community of issues in the source code, so making an argument based on the fact that most people don't read source code or even can is bunk - that's always been true and the community has reaped the benefits of libre software anyways.

Now if you want to talk about real bloat, like JavaScript libraries, then you are citing a malignant practice anyways. There is no world in which we should compromise libre software principles so we can mindlessly continue using Javascript bloat, which should be taken out back and shot even if you aren't concerned about libre philosophy.
I don't think its hyperbole based on the public comments Stallman makes
Sounds like an opportunity for a SaaS company to provide text to speech service for companies, so all the "deaf" people can be subjected to upsells as well!
This takes creativity. Gymnast rings cost ~$10 which you can hang from a tree branch. Someone gave me a barbell, but I had no weights. So I screwed rings into some heavy logs and am now deadlifting ~400lbs. I get to do all this in my bikini in the sun while maintaining my garden between sets. I look like a fitness model and spent about $30 on my yard gym.
Do you think that the growing size and complexity of software might be part of the strategy of those profiting from the suppression of free software, rather than a necessity for increased software quality?
Pay careful attention to when you feel happy. What were you doing at that point in time? Talking to friends? Reading about X? Whatever it is spend more time on it.
He can actually keep on topic when it comes to free software.

Yet GNU and FSF aren't everything RMS is, so he has his own personal website. I would assume you've learned about his views on having children there.
Besides the obvious trolling, much of this is your interpretation and what you want the developers of Vlang to say instead. Let's keep in mind that others can have different interpretations, opinions, or things they like to nitpick about too. The developers of Vlang aren't obligated to you or me in any way, so are entitled to type their perspectives on their website.

The real deal are the many users, supporters, and contributors of Vlang. Where on GitHub (which is easy to check), it has more than many other newer languages (in various cases, more support than a couple of newer languages combined). Those people are the ones that count, who are using and improving the language daily.

"You can't put the genie back in the bottle", Vlang is firmly on the road to success and more popularity, despite its detractors and angry competitors.
why not just up and leave as soon as you decide it's taking way too long and are upset, and it's clear they're having issues? you'd have cut your losses and gotten out of there around 9:45 or 10.

instead, you had a horrible experience, paid full price for your breakfast, and were probably so upset you stiffed the server on the tip and then complained about it on your blog under the guise of "tips for success".

instead of waiting for a manager to come by and placate you with "transparency" and "honesty" about breakfast, and eventually dismiss you, just get up and leave. you know, like decisive adults do.
So, checking the video; looks like some reasonable improvements. And yet, CNN are spinning the story as "OMG, teens make your iPhone". If I recall correctly, I spent all summer whilst 17, 18 and 19 working shifts to earn money for uni/college.

There is a determined effort here to paint conditions as terrible, third world and oppressive.

I'm not so sure it's accurate. As I commented on the original story (when it first did the rounds) there is a huge cultural difference between here and there, so we must judge carefully in these matters. For example; the long hours are, sure, pretty sucky. But culturally that is how a lot of Chinese people work; long and hard. Those on my course at university were usually the last to leave the department at night, for example (3 or 4am sometimes). That's not to say anyone would like to work this job and want long hours; but it's a misunderstanding to see that as immediately abusive.

Even worse; China has a huge population problem, one we can't really imagine facing. What exactly are these people supposed to do to earn money?

Yes, there is ample opportunity to abuse such a problem. And, yes, I am sure it does happen. This sort of reporting is essential in making sure it doesn't happen wherever we can stop it. But it would be nice to see a little more common sense (i.e. rationality) applied to the way it is reported.

Of course, such an approach doesn't "sell papers" :)

The real problem here is the huge socio-economic problem China is facing. Not buying Chinese goods might even be counter-productive. If grass roots action closes a Chinese factory, what is the impact, and who feels it?

This is not a simple problem solved with outrage, but with calm forceful communication with the manufacturer.

It seems to have somewhat worked in this case, going by the improvements.
I have very mixed feeling about this.

The Gestapo and the Stasi were evil because they were dedicated to preserving the power of a very small section of the population.

That hasn't happened in the US (yes, it is true that some sections of the population are victimised more than others but nevertheless the US is still a mostly functional democracy).

OTOH, it's not 1981 anymore - they don't need to physically follow people around. Additionally many things that are happening at the moment in the US are reminiscent of the very things that former-communist states were criticised for.

Some specific examples:

* There was outrage when the Berlin wall fell and people discovered that the Stasi had records on 1/3 or the East German population. Now the NSA probably has record on close to 100% of the US population.

* The US used to believe in the idea that everyone had to obey the law and especially the constitution. Now it is accepted doctrine that the President can evade this by using executive orders. That appears to mean that the president has complete, unchecked power and is almost completely above the rule of law.

* Eastern block countries were criticised for the fact that police could stop people and demand to see their papers.
What a terrible headline, it's only the Ubuntu Edge they wont' be making, Ubuntu phones are still coming out. Right from the article - "But this doesn't mean Ubuntu phones themselves are dead. The smartphone interface for the Ubuntu operating system is still being developed, and carriers around the world have signed on as potential launch partners."
Mostly their logistical advancements. You can rate drivers, you can ask for a driver in advance, you can track the drivers location. They actively plot what parts of town have high traffic, and at what times. This in general leads to a significantly improved experience over cabs, or other drivers. They seem to be always there when you want them, the drivers are always nice and very knowledgeable, etc..
"Given the scale of the cash injection, the company might not have to raise another series round before going public, though a bridge round isn’t inconceivable."

Why does a company need to raise so-much-money before going public? Isn't the whole point of "going public" to raise money?
The interesting part here is that TikTok kept the video up. That does make their claims that they aren't exporting Chinese-style censorship somewhat convincing.
I also try to only go to gas stations that take Apple Pay, or pay with a card that I know has excellent customer support (Chase, usually). I haven't had a card number stolen since I started doing this.
Many of us do, but resetting the ROM will also wipe out all of the pre-installed "flash" apps that a colleague might want to use. It's a trade-off.

edit: or at least, it used to. Haven't tested in years.

Ever since moving to eshell+tramp, all of these persistence tools, however beautifully designed, somehow strike me as solving the wrong problem.

They weren't choosing for all use cases, but for the ones they needed.
I have some very simple lua processes that consume 2MB. They basically do nothing but listen to a websocket and run some shell comands. Lets say I have 3 of those. With the JVM I would have blown away more than half a gigabyte. Even with micronaut you're looking at 100MB per process. This just isn't sustainable. I personally think the JVM is a piece of crap because of this.

There is GraalVM but compilation takes a relatively long time even compared to a C++ project and as soon as you use features that it doesn't support it will fail to work which means you are stuck with Java because you don't want to risk using a language that doesn't officially support GraalVM (groovy kotlin etc).
100% agree - hiring a trainer was the best investment in my weightlifting journey. Sure, you can watch videos and try to nail proper form, but when you hit the gym floor solo, nobody is going to correct you.
Years ago I created something in this style (well, sort of: contained no actual logic, just lit leds and stored a small amount of energy so it took minutes to fade them out, and doesn't even come close to the achievements of this guy) as a gift and I was quite proud of it: http://i.imgur.com/vYs619y.jpg

Now I feel really small though :P
This is a reasonable take.

I'd never deliberately add tape hiss to a track, but when I hear a song with that hiss it just takes me back.
Sure, but the time it takes to hit diminishing returns wrt different technologies seems greatly underrated to me. I've seen many engineers stick with a single technology so long that they were just memorizing standard libraries instead of actually learning anything.
You picked a particularlly good day for that one, especially when Hobbes says "As is advertising easn't intrusive enough before."

If only you knew Hobbes....
I think it gets to the point.

If blacks are for some reason (and I am not saying they are I do not know) less likely to pay back loans, then that is the problem that needs addressing. It might be a little painful to admit the huge racial divide but it is real and that is a problem we need to solve, taking the easy way out lying to ourselves only harms society in the long run and destroys the lives of people who cannot pay back the loans and end up in a huge debt cycle very difficult to get out of.

This was a great, fun read.

I'd like to add one I just thought off in the same vain.

Sudokucoin, where the chain is advanced by the first person solving a complex puzzle (by hand) which the hash of which generates the next complex puzzle, using added skull chips accelerating the trans-human evolution.

And Properdogecoin, where the first dog bringing the ball back shows proof of work and is a good boy. May lead to a lot of puppy death by fatigue though so I'm not on board with this one.
