This is true in the same sense that one can never step in the same river twice.

This is an old debate in regards to artifacts. Should an old building be preserved? Restored to some earlier state? And if so, which state?

Even there, we use the word "restore" when it doesn't fully replicate the original structure. Eg, the older building probably contained old-growth wood and didn't have any power or running water, or was handicap accessible or met modern fire codes. It certainly didn't have the same isotopic composition, given how we've added petroleum-based carbon (less radioactive) and nuclear fallout to the building, and ecosystem.

Similarly, one might be restored to health, but it's not the same heath as before, if only because of increased age.

So I don't think that people mean to 'completely eliminate all human involvement' when they speak of rewilding, and I don't think that's how it's usually interpreted.

For example, this piece says "The best-known example of trophic rewilding was the reintroduction of wolves into Yellowstone National Park in the mid-1990s." Since there is still all matter of human presence in the park, it can't mean that rewilding means to get rid of human involvement.
Hey guys, author here. Feel free to ask any questions, and I'll try my best to answer them!
In older versions of their AV solution you could choose what to send to Microsoft, down to even not sending where the File is located, just what it detected.

There was not even a option to send Memory Dumps.

Mainly the upgrade of V8. The release of v5 so soon after v4 is a special scenario prompted by the odd timing of the release of the new V8. It's worth noting that v5 is not an "LTS" release (that is, it won't have the same long-term support that v4 does). I believe even number releases are LTS releases.
My sister upgraded to Windows 10 and was greeted by a blue screen every time she tried to turn on the computer. Investigating online it seems it's some kind of BIOS incompatibility but the manufacturer (Packard Bell, doesn't operate in USA but it's relatively well known in Spain) doesn't provide BIOS updates for that model. So we restored Windows 7 and lost an entire day. I'm sure she's going to be very happy when she sees the Windows 10 nag again.
Sort of, yeah. They're taking a very strict approach to semver - if it could potentially break anyone's code out there, it's a breaking change that warrants a major version bump.

I'd wager that the vast majority of Node APIs currently on 4.x could swap in 5.0 without any issues.
Node.js keeps in line pretty heavily with V8, so if you're keeping up with changes in Chrome's JavaScript engine, you're already keeping up with Node.

Plus you don't have to always upgrade to latest and greatest. If your app works fine in 4.2 and there's no crazy security issues you need to upgrade for, don't. 4.2 is LTS so it's going to get supported for a long time.

I imagine Wirth chose 32032 for its purported elegance, not its longevity or commercial practicality. As I recall they had all sorts of initial problems and then lost the war for that market segment against the 68k.

I have heard many people talk about the NS32k in positive overall terms, I've researched it a few times, it looks like a nice CISC architecture, but not different/better enough than the 68k at the time.

I do recall the team under Jack Tramiel at Atari looked into the NS32k for their new 16/32-bit system, and even built a prototype, and then tossed it in favour of 68k because of purported bugs in the NS32k.
For me, the difference lies in that if I tell OSX "No", they respect that choice. For Windows 10, if I tell it "No", it interprets it as "It's OK for me to still send some things".

As for ChromeOS, you are aware of what you're getting into from the beginning. In contrast, it wasn't always this way with Windows.
I've never been as frustrated with a windows update as this one. First, I've a small machine with SSD that I use as media center running windows 7, this humongous download (which happened overnight without any consent) killed that machine. Since then I've it switched to linux and things are much better.

Second I know an elderly couple who doesn't know much about computers. When they got the prompt for upgrade, they didn't even think it was an operating system upgrade. They thought it was another windows update. Next morning they couldn't do anything as the start button wouldn't work, printers were gone, email settings were gone, critical error message when they click edge etc. Now for a tech savvy person, it wouldn't be a problem and you can easily fix these but they live far from city, like about a good 2 hour drive. Since I'm closest to them, this weekend I'll be making a trip there and fixing it wasting around 6-7 hours of my life just because of windows 10. Thanks Microsoft!
There is continuous change, but the changes tend to be quite small. You can also safely stay on older versions for a long time (4.2 is LTS).
Thats not the question that was asked, yours is a different question. The main reason is because they are tracking v8 versions. This one hits v8 4.6 - v8 is released every 6 months and we will see node v6 in April.

Really what has happened is that v4 was a bit behind, and v5 is right on schedule which is why it seems to be changing so fast.
Wow, very cool.
That turn the other car attempted is just insane
You could've used Node 4.2 LTS and a simple Express server (is Flask the Express of Python?) and had as much stability. That said, I do understand your skepticism and concern.
JS in general moves fast and packages range from great to WTF in quality. I would suggest using Babel(or something similar) for all future JS development. That way you can use ES2015/2016 features now and have them work in most environments.

I have a built a small API using express and passport and so far these node changes have not impacted my code.

Another option for fast API development is Java 8 with SpringBoot and Jetty. People hate on Java and Spring, but the latest versions of both are very powerful and easy to get going. If you end up needing more it is there.

Yeah, why not? Just because they upgrade node, doesn't mean you have to use that version. If you want a stable version, you'll be on the LTS release that will be supported for a long while

1. If you have a decent SSD in it, W10 may be faster. It seems to run very well on SSDs.

4. Yes, for 1 year the upgrade is free. After that point you have to pay for the upgrade, just like to upgrade from Windows 7 to Windows 8 you had to pay for an upgrade license.

5. Other than Microsoft's weird ideas on how they will push out updates that may affect your privacy it seems to work well enough in the industries I've tested it in. If you have any older 'expensive' software you may want to verify that it is compatible before migrating.

1. Windows 10 does offer a lot of performance improvements. Even if you don't like the new interface, under the hood it's much faster. Even Windows 8 was a lot faster.

2. I think there is an option to ignore individual updates. You could probably utilize that to get that to go away.

3. Windows 10 literally saves a copy of your whole system running Windows 7 on the hard disk. That is deleted after 31 days.

4. They claim that it will begin to cost money to upgrade starting next year. Whether or not that becomes reality could go either way. My guess is that yes, it will cost money just like a new Windows 10 build costs money now.

5. You can turn off a good portion of the privacy-invading settings, but it's still fairly invasive. Microsoft as a company has actually been ramping up their support for other platforms which is kind of cool. I haven't heard about any specific back doors in the Windows OS itself, but that doesn't mean they aren't there. The OS is closed source, so it's really anyone's guess.

This is interesting, but as an economist it immediately struck me that something in this argument feels wrong.

Thinking it though, it may work, but there is a potential problem. You're suggesting you expand the supply side in a surge by ensuring the the driver makes more money. So that means the company makes more profit during non-surge. But doesn't that open up an opportunity for a second company to come along and charge lower rates during non-surge periods?
> If you are on a metered connection on Windows 7 or Windows 8.1, then you have the option of turning off automatic updates.

Can I declare somehow my connection "metered" or is this something MSFT decides?
You have to turn off automatic updates, uninstall the update, refresh updates, tell it to hide the specific update so that it won't install. I believe at that point you can turn automatic updates back on.

That's the process I did to get rid of the nagging on three Win7 machines.
As someone who just moved to Windows 10 with all new hardware, my advice would be just don't do it!

Windows 7 is a much better version of Windows than Windows 10 will ever be so my suggestion would be wait a few years.
It's disrupting in the sense that it's dramatically changed the price point of a board. That is, it's changing the industry, not just competing in it.

Granted, I don't know a lot about GMOs, and I'm not really agaisnt them, but one issue that I can think of is that when you breed food to create larger varieties, the larger versions are less nutritional pound for pound than their smaller cousins - and without realizing it the could decrease people's nutrion in exchange for efficiency. So I think we ought to be at least a little wary of changing things because there will probably be unintended side effects.

That said, I do support the use of GMOs.
In regards to your first question, Win 7 _is_ pretty great. Windows 8 is more the OS with the funky tiles and touch interface and 10 is the answer to those complaints. It has some of that still, but it's a nice hybrid of the features we saw in 7 and the features of 8. For me at least, 10 fixed all of the problems I had with 8.

For the 31 days thing, I strongly suspect it's mostly just a marketing thing. "Try the newest Windows out for 31 days, risk free!". I could see it being an issue of storage on tablet devices with minimal storage or laptop/desktops with similar issues.

I've since wiped out my Win10 machine (by accident...oops) and went back to 8, since that's what I had a license and disc for. Not sure if I'll go back to 10. The privacy issues concern me greatly.
I feel a bit left out. I am using windows7 (preinstalled on laptop) and not once have I been notified about Windows 10.

> At any time during the first 31 days, you can go to “Settings->Update and Security->Recovery and Uninstall Windows 10” to return to your prior version of Windows.

My computer didn't work with Windows 10, contrary to their claim that it would. The drivers I had on the notebook are "too old" and Intel doesn't support the devices for Windows 8 or 10 but MSFT claimed in their "Update to 10" nagware that it would work. It doesn't. I've discovered that only after two days of the immense number of the restarts of Windows 10, searching for the possible causes and finding the posts related to my hardware on the web forums.

And after I returned to Windows 7, it still presents "Upgrade to Windows 10" and to decline I had to uninstall more updates and put some registry entries which I had to search on the web (1). Far from easy to just say "it doesn't work please don't bother me or make the goddamn drivers."

Oh, and the return to Windows 7 from 10 actually didn't work too -- it screwed all the scheduled tasks (which were a part of the Windows 7 installation, not the tasks I've made!) (2)

Ask HN: Domain/trademark issues
I know this is one of those "hire a lawyer" sort of questions, but lacking a budget for that, could anybody discuss their general knowledge and relevant experience in the area of domain names and potential conflicts with other companies with the same or similar names, which may or may not be trademarked in the US?

For example, if haggler.com (a contrived example) is taken, and haggler.io isn't and I build a product around that, should I worry?

- If it's trademarked or not, does one or the other matter?

- If multiple software companies have successfully trademarked the exact same single word, does that matter or not? (They're all sharing it already.)

- Does a different category or sector matter, if both or all are software products?

I would guess that all of these matter by degree, and potential trouble only depends on an adversary's willingness to litigate, but am hoping for some help or guidance in what is a complicated (and frustrating) aspect of our business.

Is it such a minefield that it isn't even worth bothering?

Thanks.

On Windows 10 Home not unless it's "metered" connection. But how to declare my connection "metered"?
I'd say bottle if you'd want to go for simple and small. Flask has two huge dependencies, one of which is template engine which you wouldn't need for a simple API.
Most business and web programmers would find it useless, perhaps, but if you're wanting to go into video games, simulation, physics, aerospace, robotics/internet of things (i.e. sensors), or the about to explode virtual reality field, you will most likely benefit quite a bit from linear algebra.

I've found it much more useful than my calculus classes, personally (although calculus is also useful to know for most of these industries).

Yes, those are specific industries, but that's quite a few specific industries. There's probably others that could benefit from it as well.
Hmmm... It is interesting how many years urban myths can persist.... 45 years and counting....

"In December 1968 the report on the Algorithmic language ALGOL 68 was published. On 20–24 July 1970 a working conference was arranged by the IFIP to discuss the problems of implementation of the language,[1] a small team from the Royal Radar Establishment attended to present their compiler, written by I.F. Currie, Susan G. Bond[2] and J.D. Morrison. In the face of estimates of up to 100 man-years to implement the language, using up to 7 pass compilers they described how they had already implemented a one-pass compiler which was in production use in engineering and scientific applications."

You imagine NSA would use British slang? ;) (I had to look up what 'porky' meant in this context. Apparently 'very big lie', and perhaps rhyming slang for porky pie => lie.)
Good read. I looked into this a few years ago when I first started my switch to Linux but never convinced myself to buy a second video card. Now it might be worth a try again as I am loath to dual boot and therefore haven't touched any Windows-only games in a while.
I welcome our Coywolf overlords.
How does it relate to writing C++11 without using raw pointers. I.e. using uniq_ptr (single owner), shared_ptr (multiple owners), references (not-an-owner). Are there benefits beyond that; and does it have the capabilities C++ has regarding making classes, operator overloading; templates?
It is but we are thinking about pivoting at the moment to a different customer segment.

What are you thinking about working on? Perhaps we can exchange ideas if it's non-competitive.

1) I personally really enjoy the UI of windows 10. I have windows 7 at work. I had a windows 8 machine for a year or so. But Windows 10 is the best of both 7 and 8 to me. The touch interface is good. The shortcuts are great, and they have re-introduced a start like menu.

3) OK I'll guess at this one. Space. If they are retaining a bunch of information it may take up a significant amount of space they can free by getting rid of it. But I don't know for sure. It might just be that 31 days is a standard tech return policy period and they can.

2/4) I think you can turn the notifications off. And if you are going to learn a new OS it makes sense to learn the one that you are going to be moving to no the one you are going to be moving from. http://winsupersite.com/windows-10/disabling-windows-10-upgr...

5) This is opinion and people disliking the new direction of Microsoft. You get new features (Like Cortana) but it costs you in privacy. How much is that cost? Only Microsoft really knows... But you can always set up a dual boot or something to address some of those issues. MANY Linux distros are almost easier to get used to than Windows 10 (from windows 7). And win 10 even stole some features from them.

<soapbox>
I just want to let everyone know that anything you post here (on the internet) is already being gobbled up by the NSA, just about anything you do on your phone, and now anything you do on your pc (presumably). Lets focus on changing the law, because Linux is not a viable solution for 99% (that stat is made up) of people, which means that your parents, friends, and everyone else aren't protected even if you are.

While changing the law is ridiculously hard, if you are concerned about privacy mention it to friends and family so they know and evangelize. Microsoft is no more evil than anyone else. I presonally think that at their core they don't want to give this data to the NSA, they want it to figure out how users are using the OS (what every dev wants). So they've tooled it to the Nth degree and it's only a privacy issue because they aren't clear what they collect (but they let you turn it off) and we don't trust them to let us turn it off.
