> hey, this was a pretty good try! But here's what else you need to do:

No I don't. To open up a machine for remote administration, all I have to do is run Enable-PSRemoting like so:

Enable-PSRemoting -Force

For domain-joined machines the authentication from there is just automatic, -i.e. when I use Invoke-Command it automatically created an authenticated and encrypted connection for the duration of the script execution.

> you'll quickly find that when you start a program (which you left off) using a script remotely, it doesn't show up anywhere on-screen, despite being authenticated as the logged-in user, but it does show up in the process list. Guess why THAT is.

That has nothing to do with PowerShell and everything to do with your expectation that you have equally poor session separation as with your typical nix.

With sufficient rights you can of course stop any process. But to reach in and control another user session is something else.

On Windows, processes are separated not just by the account they run under, but also by the session* under which they are created. Security barriers prevents a process in one session from interacting with processes in another session, even if they run as the same user.

This security boundary was raised to prevent compromised user processes from reaching into services and vice versa. This is part of the protection against shatter attacks and more.

I know a utility like psexec (sysinternals) may be able to launch a process in a foreign session, but I'm honestly not sure how it achieves this without some kernel support.

> but it does show up in the process list. Guess why THAT is.

That is because when you launch a process is launches in your session. A session is associated with a Windows Desktop (an operating system object type) which is a namespace separation somewhat like cnames in Linux. Windows on your (remote) session lives on the non-visible desktop associated with that session. When you log off it destroys the session and any processes running under the session.

You may not agree with the extra security features built into Windows, but the separation they create has noting to do with PowerShell.

Fuel costs for fission nuclear plants are only about 28% of operating costs - so why should fusion plants be hugely cheaper than fission plants? The capital costs for something based on ITER look they might be comparable to fission plants - I guess decommissioning and waste handling might be cheaper though.

Ember is fairly all-encompassing. Sure, if you compare it with JQuery, it's big. But if you compare it to the full stack of libraries you need in order to run a reasonable React app, it's not too shabby at all.
Nearly anonymous "my friend works there" posts aren't a ton of help, but I'll just say my buddy Kelly (https://twitter.com/kellysutton) works on Imigix, he used to work on this dropbox for PSDs thing (layervault) and he's awesome, so I'd tend to believe that imgix is awesome by association alone.
There's a rhetoric problem with being past the tipping point - it means that all the advice we've been submerged in for the past 10 years suddenly has to change from "release less greenhouse gas" to "forget the gas, that ship has sailed, just protect ourselves!". We might very well find that coal saves us by providing the power needed to do large scale engineering work, generate the food we'll need, and basically all the good things that it already does plus whatever added demands come from more severe weather and sea level rise.
The Library of Congress put up this list of books that shaped America. I am an American of American descent since before the Revolution, and I have certainly read much less than half of these. The Library notes that this list is intended to spark discussion, so I'm glad that discussion has already begun here. My wild guess about the very most influential book is the King James ("Authorized") English-language translation of the Bible (not on the list, which apparently focuses on books published in America). I think Thomas Paine's Common Sense (1776) (which I have read, and which relies heavily on the Bible for its argument) was also very influential.
It's big, sure, but that's just another piece of decision making information. If you're building an app that'll be deployed for users in sub-Saharan Africa then it's clearly too much, and you need to revise your technology decisions. On the other hand, if the majority of your users are affluent westerners with broadband connections then it's less than the size of a single, full-screen background image, so arguably it's actually a relatively small download. What is "too much" changes - 120kb library, for some users, isn't too much.

That said though, if your ember.js code blocks rendering, or causes lots of repainting, and you're building a site rather than an app, then I'd question if you're making the right choice.
Librarians, especially in shelf-space-limited libraries, do actually cull books routinely. A librarian I know says it's a tough job because of precisely the "book-burning" issue.

Ask HN: In 2015, what do you use for the CSS of your web app?
Hi, I'm more of a JavaScript developer, doing mostly games (canvas) and applications where UI doesn't matter that much. But I will soon have to make the front end of a mobile web app. It features a lot of images, horizontal scrolling elements, and grid like display, and follow a designer's design. It has to be compatible with IOS and android webview from 4.2 (so no flexbox).
What would you use? A framework like bootstrap or foundation, or sass directly...? I would like to avoid JavaScript as much as possible as it's a multiple page application.

> Black balls will also heat up more, causing more evaporation.

Question. Overall, is the heat absorption of the black balls greater than open water? I imagine it's about the same, but perhaps the issue is that the balls are concentrating the heat at the surface, and on the surface of the rotating balls. So it does seem like the evaporation rate could well be higher.

I suppose it comes down to the mean rotation rate of the balls.

Sounds good till you get to maintenance and scaling. Thumbor isn't as install and forget if you value being able to recreate the environment from scratch, scale out, rotate and secure the keys, solve tmp directory issues, ensure availability etc...

Having just finished several months of working with and tweaking thumbor for a large volume website I can see how just paying for a service would be appealing.
Oracle tried their hand with copyright infringement, because copyright is far stronger than anything else that's IP-related. However, here's the thing:

1. Oracle is basically arguing about APIs being copyrightable and if APIs are deemed to be copyrightable, we're fucked as an industry ;-)

2. Oracle, because of the Sun acquisition, has many, many interesting patents related to programming languages and virtual machines. Consider that Sun was involved in the research for making Smaltalk VMs fast and they also developed Self. The IP for all the fancy techniques used in Java's HotSpot VM? Well Sun owned it. Do you think Go is safe because it's not based on Java, or because it doesn't have a Java-like VM? Think again, at the very least it has a garbage collector ;-)

Thing is, if Google would have cloned OpenJDK, they would have been safe because of the GPL license. But they didn't, they used Apache Harmony instead, a project that never passed the Java TCK because Sun never allowed it to.

In 6th grade (1986), my Georgia school was terribly poor and outdated. The newest book on space had a sentence I will never forget as long as I live:
"If we ever land on the moon, we may find it is teeming with life."

It was difficult to be a child in rural Georgia that wanted to read everything in existence on space, physics, etc. before the internet.
Main issue is making people move away from one language to another. You'd have to let people use their existing code base with the new language (like apple did with swift). Could it be possible without another similar lawsuit?
I know money makes the world go round, but it just doesn't feel right to me to take thousands of dollars for a referral fee. I use to work at CustomMade.com and we implemented the cap also for our makers. CustomMade made it possible for artisans to make a living doing what they love, perhaps Droners.io will do the same for UAV pilots. I don't know what will happen as it scales up, but for now at least, the cap seems fair and feels right too.

If the CEO's money is a metric in measuring this, maybe. But maybe that's also what's wrong with that attitude.

Contrived example: "Yes, the guy did rape and murder 7 little girls, but he's also taking champagne baths in a tub larger than the city I live in, so he has to be doing something right".
There are even libraries to make version 5 code compatible with version 6.
Call them "legacy apps" and run them over a compatibility layer. Hardware will gradually get good enough to run the old Java apps without hiccups, and the apps that get translated to Go will run about as fast as the Java-Android versions [citation needed], but with oodles of memory to spare.
Thats something I'm considering implementing in the very near future, giving the pilot the ability to select from several payment terms (1/3 upfront, 1/2 up front, 100% upfront).

Welcome, and good luck!
I think that's too simple... It could also be:

1. Randomness. The fact that a number of tech companies have Indian CEOs in 2015 does not mean this would still be the case in, say, 2018. Also we are tainted by the fact that these are highly visible cases. Facebook, IBM, Apple and many other tech companies are still run by non-Indians.

2. Inequality in education - the current tech world favors education systems that are creating a pyramidal work force and are good at selecting a small elite that receive superior education + join the necessary networks. This favors people who are educated on the US top schools (or IIT I guess). The European system, in contrast, is more egalitarian (exceptions apply) and produces a huge number of mediocre specialists.

3. Caste system - I'm not an expert in that, but I guess there are pretty good networks within certain castes in India. I'm happy if somebody proves me wrong.

Dream of Browser Test Automation?
I'll admit the comment may have been a bit sparse, and reactionary on my part, but it is not that far of an association; I think it has relevance. Open source Android is being fought over by two behemoths in an IP war over Java code. MS was proprietary, and not much loved amongst the OSS crowd, and now Windows 10 is going to have hooks for Java and Objective-C to make porting Android and iOS apps to Windows 10. Forgive me, but MS seems to be doing and end-around Oracle and Google...I don't see how there is more than 2 degrees of separation from the submission and the possible relevance of my comment. Is it because I refused to bite on the IP angle?

Hi. I do research on Guifi.net (part of www.clommunity-project.eu), referenced in the article.
Guifi.net has 30k+ nodes, and provides Internet access.

Happy to answer questions.

"There is no need to judge negatively or positively. It's the business' own business."

Free markets are nice - but there is a historically proven need for government control (pollution and child labour, etc). This means not all things are business' own business.

All actions have an ethical dimension into them. Financials are a very good indicator of the long term business prospects of an enterprise but they are not the only thing that matters when evaluating their impact in the greater human context.

Each business has a varying group of stakeholders who are impacted by the decisions made by the business - employees and shareholders are the obvious subgroups. The community where the business operations are situated is often a secondary stakeholder as well.

As an example before environment protection acts came along, companies polluted carelessly, thus causing a massive negative externality which impacted the surrounding communities. Flaming river? Not so nice.

The environmental effects were considered to be such a high impact problem that the companies were forced to modify their operations to seize pollution. Creating this legislation most assuredly required negative judging of the operations of a large number of business.

Like I said - I have no idea of this Lenovo business - but claiming all external judgement of third parties null by a blanket statement is not necessarily the best way to look at things.

People differ on this point. Discourse, for example, ships a single Docker container which runs the Rails-based webapp, a database server (PostgreSQL), and a key-value store (Redis). They have been using this same setup in production for quite a while now.
It seems comparably pretty terrible to me actually after a bit of checking.

React comes in around 26k, Flux is another 1k or so, and say you throw in underscore that's still something like 30k combined. Add another 5k if you need an es5 shim / sham (say you're supporting earlier IEs). Another 4k for superagent. So it looks like somewhere around 40k minified and gzipped to run a reasonable React app.

The nice thing is that you don't even need jquery once you're in react land, unless there's an addon you absolutely must have and would be a pain to reactify. We haven't had to use jQuery in our last few projects.

That's 3X though and not 8X. 8X sounds like a biased exaggeration. I don't understand why people have to polarize so much over js frameworks...

> And finally, some traffic seems quite impenetrable. We configured our test virtual machine to use an HTTP and HTTPS proxy (both as a user-level proxy and a system-wide proxy) so that we could more easily monitor its traffic, but Windows 10 seems to make requests to a content delivery network that bypass the proxy.

Does this mean a Win10 machine setup to use something like Tor will leak the user's actual IP back to Microsoft? If you're VPN'd, is some traffic still leaking outside of the VPN?

From an engineering perspective, how is this happening? Does Microsoft have a second network interface hidden away using hardcoded settings for DNS, etc?

On a somewhat related note, if a Win10 app is cert pinning, is there a way to force it to use your cert so you can MITM it?

No, actually, there were quite a few new introductions between 1.11 and 1.13 (Glimmer, the new rendering engine; Actions and API changed, ED became 1.0, got more stable), and, as a result, there were numerous deprecations in the 1.13 release. 2.0 removes things that were deprecated in 1.13. Things like views, active model adapter, etc. have been extracted out in an addon.

None of these things broke the API; there was always a sane (although sometimes painful) process to help you through the upgrade. There are other things planned for the next few releases, such as routable components, new component syntax, etc. but the things they will replace (controllers and the old component syntax) will be supported through the 2.0 cycle (at least that's what's said).

Ember's deprecations in 1.13 were a bit of work for me, as a developer, but the new features in the past few months have done a lot of good to the framework and removed a lot of the complexity. I much prefer this way of upgrading, and I really, really appreciate the Ember team for doing it this way.
