I used Zotero, mostly for it's automatic database filling feature (eg from a journal website). I sort-of classified papers in in a directory-like structure by topic. When it came time to find stuff, the search worked pretty well, considering most papers had the abstract filled out in zotero and therefore was indexed for searching.

Good support for shared libraries if you work with other people.

Combined with a plugin called lyz, it made for a very streamlined integration in my thesis workflow (in lyx).

Bonus: free and open source.

Interesting, I wasn't aware of the different availabilities. I am almost certain that the current API that I'm using is just for the US library. I'm looking into other possible API's that would offer this information!

Wrath of khan had much better execution.

Best of both worlds also showed Picard becoming the enemy, riker as captain having to try to stop the Borg at the cost of his friend, and some more good background on the Borg.

Plus the effects of that episode lasted into ds9 and first contact.
personally I took it as an opportunity to finally try out VT-d gaming... so Linux on the bare metal, and Windows tightly locked down in a VM (on a separate vlan).

Cross-Database Queries in Azure SQL Database
You are right, this is Python 3 stuff. I just assumed the parent was talking about Pypy3.
Firefox has a separate field for search queries that is in the nav bar like the location field (terminology? I mean where the URL goes) is (and like the back button, the refresh button, the "downloads" button, etc, are) but is not combined with the location field.

At least my Firefox does, and I don't think I customized that particular aspect of Firefox.

I seem to recall someone here saying that Firefox decided not to combine them (location and search fields) for privacy reasons. In particular, the user can be sure that anything typed into the location field is never sent to Google's autocompletion servers.

I could be wrong about the things I said in this comment, though.

On a scale that isn't even remotely as large as what VW has done. The scale matters, a lot.

You're talking about something affecting maybe tens of thousands of trucks, versus 11+ million vehicles including Porsche. It doesn't make sense to make the comparison.
But you are opting in for that service.

The problem with wine in this case is that it currently can't work with anything using DX11/12, many (if not most) of the big name titles coming out on PC these days are unusable on wine because of that.

2 is actually a decent reason to try to change, given that Valve is trying to get more venders to SteamOS it might just be start to make a difference.
Firstly: I'm not in the US, and fairly left leaning even for someone outside the US. That said:

I think that the US progressive establishment's fixation on the Citizen's United case is misguided.

I'm biased towards the idea that speech should be free, and tend to think that this should include spending money on making your view heard.

I think that effort could be better spend on attempting to fix the problem of wrong speech: if people are pushing political agendas using things that are factually incorrect that should be restricted. IANAL, but I think that this is likely to be more legally achievable in the US too: IS libel laws have a model of truth as a defense, and it seems to me this could be a framework for regulating false political speech.
I've seen another IR that replaced phi nodes with BB arguments, but they also replaced return with continuations, leading to a kind of best-of-both-worlds cross between SSA and CPS. They were able to implement a bunch of interesting optimizations on closures, in an imperative language.

They've expressly said that they won't accept any patches that will make it portable -- "We do not consider it feasible to port systemd to other Unixes (let alone non-Unix operating systems) and will not accept patches for systemd implementing any such portability" [1]. A lot of the issues come down to how Linux does namespacing, and how there's a lot of code that's hard-wired to require it. So any port would be a fork by near definition.

I definitely think management was involved here. However, its entirely possible that some management was not aware of the details. I doubt that more than some couple tens of people at VW group know intimate details of the VW diesel ECU. With badge engineering/platform sharing, its possible that Porsche/Audi/VW or whoever was not directly responsible for delivering the code could be in the dark about it. Im sure they even want it that way so there is plausible deniability. There are plenty of things that go on in the company I work for that I have no knowledge of. There are plenty of things in the software I customize/implement that I do not know about.

Bottom line- VW group cheated, was caught, and Im sure has a few dozen scapegoats lined up in accordance with automotive scandal rules and regulations. People will use this as a platform to get their names in the spotlight as a crusader for the people, the managers that made the decision will go largely unpunished, and the world will move on. I think its crappy behavior, but in the scheme of things they did not directly murder anyone and people willingly participate in much more dangerous activities than breathing excessive NOX fumes... I think that they should just fine them make VW say "We are truly deeply heartfeltly sorry" and then we can worry about the bigger problems in life.
Ok that's reasonable. I agree that in theory this argument makes sense. In practice I think the arguments that insider trading is inefficient are compelling enough (see https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10487779) that it's not worth pursuing this course.
I'm not sure how this would pose a problem. I'm not the parent commenter, but I don't typically go to Google to search for sites I frequent. It would be such an odd thing to do—granted that I know the URL—that I would be forced to consider what I was doing even more vividly than if I had to type the URL out.

Unless you mean the search bar?

browser.search.suggest.enabled = false

Or, if you mean that you'd like to have autocomplete on for searches, just leave the default:

browser.search.suggest.enabled = true

This does not affect the URL bar.

Hi all. My name is Adnan. I'm a software developer since 2012. I want to work with a company that's building great software, and that really cares about its customers. As a software developer I have always had a love for making things easier to do using software. Thus I have a dislike of any kind of process that slows down or adds mental overhead to daily work. That said, I will use software to help fix those processes instead of simply complaining. My best work comes when I'm put in with a team and told, "this is our current goal. You are trusted to come up with the best solution to achieve it". I do not like the idea of working more than 40 hours aa week on a regularbasis.

I've worked on numerous verticals. Ecommerce, ERPs, SaaS and even microfinance (where I currently maintain the software I built for a microfinance and credit scoring company). I prefer to be language and framework agnostic. Instead I try to understand principles first so that I can adapt and learn faster.

I agree with Someone1234 here.

Mods, can we get this link swapped out with a less biased one? I'm okay with Microsoft's telemetry stance hitting the front page, but I want it from a better source.
If we're talking strictly about an ECU, I'd guess that most of them are a codebase that is a complete disaster. The only management activity around ECU development is likely something to the extent of "6 engineers at 1.12 times our standard engineer cost for 6 months will cost us...".

My guess is all of them just do shit until it works. There are tons of sensors, valves, etc. that need to be managed but it isn't anywhere near as complex as trying to build customer relation system feature #125125. There is literally one user input to the system, that is the throttle position. If the system even appears to work correctly in all states, ship it. As an engineering effort an ECU is quite the accomplishment, as a software development effort its quite boring.

Something like an infotainment system that can have lots of different states presents much more information to the user. It's actually a much more challenging to develop, because you'll have people instantly noticing when you've drawn the UI widget for feature #125125 wrong.

There is growth investing and there is value investing. One isnt the end-all, and both have merits.

I am more of the growth side of things so i will look at a metric like price to sales or sales growth to get a better idea on what investors are expecting.

My point here I guess is if youre looking at a growth stock, you should be looking at how eps are growing and how they will grow in the future, not the price right now.

Maybe its that i have seen too many scream about p/e on something like NFLX or CRM or AMZN (because they don't back out capex)... And then the stock contiunes to run as earnings grows.
I've just heard from the HN powers that be that this post was flagged for being "off-topic".

That's right: Star Trek is off-topic in a techie geek forum.

I'd be very mildly ticked about this, if it weren't so amusing. :)
Linux gaming is getting better and better. Yes, we have a few sacrifices to make in the form of not getting to play every mainstream title, but many of the ones worth your time have great Linux versions, and if not, they might run well in Wine.

I wiped Windows nine months ago and installed Arch. The only things I missed were Dark Souls and Insurgency.

I found out a week ago that Dark Souls runs like butter in Wine, and Insurgency just got native Linux support the other day. I am a happy Linux gamer.

As for the titles that choose to avoid supporting my operating system, well I guess I won't be supporting them with my dollars.
Essentially you're saying that one thing (the observation) is what you don't understand initially that causes you to formulate some theory that then predicts some result that you observe and call experimental evidence?
One important way in which they are different is that Lessig (and his zany wacky deeply unserious I-don't-wanna-be-president campaign for president) has no appreciable constituency.
The best and only constitutional solution is to publicly fund all federal elections. 2 billion a year could fully fund all congressional elections. You don't even need to fund the presidential election because the two parties raise more than enough money themselves. They are already buying literally all the commercial time on TV in swing states. More money doesn't provide much marginal benefit at that stage.

That wouldn't prevent companies from funding PACs, but it would greatly reduce their influence.

I'm not overly familiar with Lessig, but I believe he proposed the public funding option on a RealTime with Bill Mayer.

I'd also increase individual donation limits. Upper Middle Class people throwing 20k to a campaign for shits and giggles doesn't carry the same sort of risk as Boeing giving 500k and then asking for a defense contract.
I gave him money, and I didn't think he had a chance to win. I just wanted to see what happens. Even though it failed, it was an interesting experiment (exhibit a, number of upvotes and comments here). Definitely worth my $20.
Apple devices have the same issues but for some reason nobody is talking about it. Just install Little Snitch and you will see arrays of services trying to access apple.com. I don't think they are malicious but it makes the device super noisy and exfiltrates a lot of information.
Acid rain is not caused by CO2 but by pollutants (such as SO2 and NO) which may also come from coal burning.

Even if CO2 were implicated, this issue has absolutely zero to do with the theory of catastrophic anthropogenic global warming.
I must say I haven't smiled so much as with Exhibit C: Our site works when the engineers go on holiday

In their defense I wouldn't be surprised if many companies had similar graphs especially as there was no Y axis and there is no cost associated with incidence, but still worth a chuckle.

As for just tossing more engineers at a problem it is going to be painful when they decide to stop adding engineers to work on the iOS app. Suddenly you don't have new devs with nothing on their plate ready to make new software, but all you have is engineers that are spending most (if not all) of their time maintaining what they have so there will be not many devs free to build stuff and those that are will take a while to get it done given the little free time they have to devote to the effort.

This has played out many times before at many other companies. Soon a little group will be formed to reduce the technical debt and improve the architecture. They will do their best, but have a hard time unless there is a fundamental shift in culture (think Microsoft with security in 2003).
It's more like carrot and nuclear fail bomb.

Is there anyone in MS management here who can explain how and why this is supposed to be a customer winning idea, and how it won't launch a stampede towards OS X and Linux?

"Okay, so we do the spying thing with everything you type. But - scout's honour - we don't do it all that much. Honest!"

Corporate dementia is becoming more and more of a problem in enterprise scale IT. HP, Yahoo, Apple, Oracle, IBM, and Google all suffer from it to varying degrees.

But MS appear to be trying to win a special best-in-class award for it.

They've had plenty to say. Laughlin's only acolyte is a fellow named Chapline who is known for his unusual theories about black holes. Laughlin has nothing to say about Lorentz invariance.

They didn't; it dropped from #2 to out of the top 200 or so instantly. I emailed the mods to ask if I had done something wrong, and was informed that this post was "off-topic", because it was not "deeply interesing" and/or did not satisfy intellectual curiosity.

In video games, there are a lot of clever tricks they use to make the player more likely to hit enemies. E.g. the cursor slows down when you get close to an enemy, and bullets bend towards them. See this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UL1_ht1EdAU

I wonder if tricks like these would work on real life vehicles.

There is little or no history of emissions standards forcing existing vehicles off the road.

There is some chance that better testing will result in lower emissions standards, if the better tests reveal the existing standards to be unrealistic.
I'm not a fan of Satya, but you are trying to start a flame war. This is what Satya is on record saying

"I believe men and women should get equal pay for equal work. And when it comes to career advice on getting a raise when you think it’s deserved, Maria’s advice was the right advice. If you think you deserve a raise, you should just ask."

He also said "[I] Was inarticulate re how women should ask for raise. Our industry must close gender pay gap so a raise is not needed because of a bias"

So you've made a conclusion because he said something that was wrong and silly. I would go as far so say that it's a big leap of faith that you've drawn, or that you're trying to be inflammatory on purpose.

Now it would be more accurate to say that Microsoft is seeing how much money Facebook and Google make from knowing people's secrets.
The conventional wisdom is your #2. The idea is that for the past 6 years, interest rates have been close to zero, and as a result, people who would traditionally want to park their money in bonds have been forced into equities just to get any (non-zero) return. This is particularly true for investors like pension funds that need to show a certain return each year or else the manager gets fired or does not receive a bonus.

The other issue is that Fed monetary policy tends to work with a lag of ~18 months. In other words, once the Fed starts a cycle of raising rates, recession or slow growth are the expected outcome -- not immediately but within 1-2 years following the rate increases. (Why? The reason is because borrowing costs increase for businesses -> they hire fewer workers -> more unemployment -> recession, etc.)

These are general rules of thumb, not hard rules, obviously. Also, the conventional wisdom that reigned supreme between the 1960s - 2009 may or may not hold in the future. Monetary policy has changed dramatically in recent years, and I think it's safe to say that no one is quite sure what will happen when the Fed raises rates. Some question whether they even can influence market interest rates anymore [1].

Truth - stories of redundant paths getting groomed into the same cable years after provisioning seem to be all too common.
There's just an inherent conflict there, because your DMs are indexed+searchable just like any other message, and really, you want them that way.

The only obvious solution, right now, is running your own private server if you want private indexes.

But the One True Way to solve this problem, in the fullness of time, is for every enterprise to run their own little PaaS with a standard API, and for SaaS providers to launch their app instances into the enterprise's PaaS using that API. This would be the cloud equivalent of the SaaS-provider selling the enterprise an "appliance" they can keep within their data-center. The enterprise gets full control of the data: their PaaS can be set up to not allow the SaaS-provider any way to exfiltrate the data the app creates, to determine rollout schedule for new app versions, etc.

(And note that when I say "enterprise", I could just as well mean that any individual user could own their own completely-automated black-box micro-PaaS, living "across" various IaaS providers and migrating to new ones as necessary, brought into existence for them by the first SaaS vendor to try launching something into it. Effectively, the ultimate evolution of a personal VPS, providing you with a "management interface" that looks like a cross between Heroku's dashboard and the Windows "Programs and Features" pane.)
Easy to dodge the paywall:

1) copy the part of the url containing the story's title
2) paste just that part into the URL bar (to do a Google search)
3) the story will come up as the first hit, click on it, boom, no more paywall

This works for quite a few major sites. (WSJ, New Yorker, etc.)
