It's a joke because it's a threat 1) over something incredibly trivial, 2) over something that is never associated with death threats (i.e. command-line arguments), 3) done by someone who presumably isn't normally associated with death threats (i.e. a nerd), and 4) that was submitted to the microsoft.com feedback form, an absurdly broad audience if this was intended to be effective.

High modularity refers to when a system's components can be cleanly separated and recombined.

If I were to guess, I'd say that amelius is saying that it becomes increasingly common as companies grow for them to expand into functions that were originally outside their core function. Framed this way, "selling stuff online" may have once set an effective upper bound on what Amazon does, but now they appear to be expanding into "moving stuff from place to place."

This concept is related to vertical integration.

Don't most airlines work through a 3rd party that actually purchases and owns the planes?

this is driven by the fact that airlines don't consistently have taxable income. If you have net operating losses, which airlines often do, you can't fully take advantage of the tax shield provided by depreciation. Airplanes are big capital assets, hence they provide a large tax shield. That's why you often see financial entities (e.g. banks, insurance companies) who have regular taxable income have leasing arms.

It's kind of silly but google changed the "share" button icon in their android youtube app a while ago and I couldn't find the share button for MONTHS even though it was in the same place. That is because the icon now looks like a "reply" icon and I never guessed that now button is used to 'share' something.
Last I looked cap'n proto didn't have any msvc support.
Here's one argument you can use against icon advocates: "The ancient Egyptians already tried hieroglyphics. They didn't work. What makes you think they will this time?"

Still waiting for a good answer to this one. When someone does successfully counter it, I imagine the rebuttal will involve Chinese pictograms or something else that has worked well for a while but isn't likely to survive the next thousand years.
Not to pollute the thread, but I'm also really interested in this, I've worked at both the Clinton campaign and NGP VAN and it seems like a very worthwhile pursuit. If you're adding people, my email is in my profile.
20 years isn't that much for an airframe, airframes are usually calculated by cycles (landing/takeoff) and flight hours.

The newest USAF airframe for it's KC135 tanker which is based on the 707 rolled out in 1956 which makes it almost 60 years old.

The average age for the 767-200 in AA is 25

So 20 years for a cargo aircraft especially if was converted from a passenger jet and overhauled isn't really that much.
Stereotyping is impossible to avoid and even healthy. Humans survive because of stereotypes. We need summary judgments to function; this is the core of translating perception into thought. The problem is when people willfully ignore signals to look past the stereotype.

If you think that every person you meet alone on the street in any city on the planet is equally dangerous or equally safe regardless of what you observe, prior to any actual violent behavior, either one day you're going to get hurt, or you're not going to visit any dangerous places.

The "Füllstrich" is a small line at the glass with a number next to it with which you can easily check whether you got the claimed amount.

Correction: The post should start with “Ask HN: ”.

No need to apologize; I merely found your question interesting and didn’t want to see it greyed out.
The most well known ones would be Sung and Ming, and Ching. Emphasis are on ratio of width of horizontal or vertical strokes. And they are always sans, with little triangle at the end of strokes.
While I agree that neither exist in complete isolation, it still doesn't preclude one from being the dominant cause.

Well the argument I was responding to was that the two are completely unrelated, so if you accept that they're not, we're mostly on the same page.

The question then is how common it is for one to be overwhelmingly dominant.

From my experiences and research, I'd suggest that like most other biological phenomena, it fits a Gaussian distribution, in which for the majority of people it would be within 75/25 in either direction.

Moreover, not many people would advance the same argument in regards to conditions such as schizophrenia or bipolar disorder

This may be where I lose you completely, but I would make the same argument for those conditions.

It's common for the manifestations of those illnesses to be triggered by an acute trauma or prolonged exposure to abuse. But of course the innate propensity to develop that condition had to be there too.

In my own experience, I exhibited bipolar tendencies years ago (as strongly as others I know who were formally diagnosed with it). Since changing both my environment and my emotional tendencies, I no longer do.

Others with schizophrenia report becoming symptom-free by following a similar approach.

I'd contend that the whole reason mainstream medicine continues to be so hit-and-miss when it comes to treating mental "illness" is that it continues to resist viewing it in this way.

Might I ask how you self-administer your ketamine? And where do you acquire it? You can email me at nodus3 at google mail.
Can't you just camber the track rather than make the trains actively tilt? I suppose the camber could be problematic at very slow speeds.
A warning to those considering experimenting with Ketamine. It may help alleviate depression, but the flip side is can reduce the 'technical ability' part of the brain to such an extent that you will no longer be able to code.

This will wear off in a few days, but it is not side-effect free drug - there are still many unknowns.

CD-roms and disc media don't change for years, though. Popular apps change their interfaces every few months, it seems, and don't come with a manual. Learning the basics of a computer is more or less once-and-done, whereas keeping up with idiot designers is a constant task and a huge pain in the ass even when you're trying. And I say all this as a college student, which makes me one of the prime demographics for most of these apps.

He is trying to pretend that they accessed the data for noble reasons and not taking advantage of the breach while it lasted when that obviously seems to be the case. They did something wrong but the problem here is that the DNC's response is heavy handed and unfair.

EEVblog #496 – What Is an FPGA?
The majority of the world's software is the second case. It just so happens we have a lot of software product and services companies in the US. Also, just because you're a technology vendor doesn't mean that you'll treat your software developers well. There's tons of really mediocre software companies (large ones, even) that outsource developers constantly and shower sales with massive bonuses because they've failed to make a good business being good at technology, so they become a sales-oriented culture. This tends to happen at the majority of large (10k+ employee) software companies across the Fortune 500. Technology itself is a business few are actually capable of doing well in, most just mark up crap for other businesses and deliver "value" in areas that have nothing to do with good engineers of any sort.
Just to give you a hint: How would you feel if you didn't know how to help yourself with something, and someone refused to help you because(!) you happen to be male? You might not have realised it, but that's in essence what you said, and that's at least one reason why people have been telling you that that behaviour is sexist. It's not about you helping women, it's about you deciding who to help based on their gender.
It is automated. Also a lot of fonts are basically built off of other fonts. There are automation tools to systematically alter them. To do quality work, a lot of manual adjustment is necessary.

http://doc.robofont.com/documentation/welcome-to-robofont/

Chinese typesetting software had traditionally included a glyph editor so that one could add a character that isn't supported by a font. However, that's not something people want to do very often. It also involves re-inventing the wheel. Its better if one team spends years making the font comprehensive and well designed.
Not defending it, but at the time they launched being able to seed from your Twitter social graph was a jetpack for improving the quality of experience, and vital to building relevant notifications on day 1.
>This may be where I lose you completely, but I would make the same argument for those conditions.

While I'm not disputing that emotional techniques can be beneficial, my main point was that in certain cases, the cause of the condition is probably the result of overwhelmingly dominant biochemical or physiological factors.
> Not something to be very excited about.

Why not? The economy demodularizes if and only if it is economically cheaper and more efficient to do so.

In other words, demodularization only happens when many, many people can derive a huge economic benefit from it happening.

The alternative is slower, more expensive, less efficient economic systems, filled with rent-seekers at every level.
So maybe this is naive of me, but it seems like you could scan at 2 or 3 angles and, knowing the physical geometry of the lens system and book, determine which fragments were on the front and back of the paper. It would likely be fiddly, but worth an experiment!
Send your resume / cover letter to as many companies as possible. Probability can be on your side even when the job market isn't.

Know your worth, but also be open to using your pedigree as a stepping stone to positions outside of your expertise. With 10 years of programming experience you can most likely learn enough Ruby in a short period of time to position yourself as a more compelling candidate than a Ruby dev fresh out of code school.

Consider startups. Smaller engineering teams often rely on interdisciplinary roles due to limited resources. Your role as a "jack of all trades, master of nothing" might actually be an asset to early stage companies.

Most importantly, find a healthy way of dealing with stress. Your family is depending you. This is an inherently stressful role to take but don't let stress derail you. Rather, let it motivate you to open this new chapter of you life. You can do it!

I wish you the best of luck with this situation and future endeavors.

They do camber tracks but you have the problem of dealing with different train speeds. It the UK case the lines were old and not very cambered.
Well yeah, but that's not really how complex systems are developed anymore. Modern software development uses the object as the modular unit of granularity, not the process -- and APIs, perhaps augmented with message queues, for communication rather than pipes, sockets, and file descriptors. This is because it's much easier to statically reason about objects with well-defined APIs and they can be composed more flexibly with appropriate fabric: interacting locally or across process, user, or system boundaries.

This model dates back at least as far as Smalltalk but what really caused it to take off was -- wait for it -- Windows COM. So modern development has moved on from the Unix philosophy and embraced the Windows philosophy.
(a) they're not pictograms and (b) hieroglyphs worked for thousands of years.
'unices' is the plural of unix? TIL.
Yes, my experience agrees with this. I'm also interested in knowing exactly how "fantastic" the life of this person actually is. Stress levels? Relationships? Negative emotions?

I was in similar denial at the beginning, until I realised that these factors are important.

I'm certainly open to the possibility that depression might be possible for someone with a fantastic life, but from what I've seen that doesn't correspond with the experiences of myself and friends/family who have experienced it.
why do we keep reinventing the wheel and not use asn.1?
In Android apps you can long-press action-bar icons to get a tooltip -- assuming the developer provided one.
Notably, Amazon and Boeing are both based in Seattle. The executives probably golf together. It's also possible that the two companies might receive some sort of Washington State tax subsidy for the deal.

Edit: I stand corrected... Although I still wouldn't be surprised if the execs golf together. :)

ES6: Iteration Protcols
\tangent another solution is camber or cant, where the outer rail is higher, banking into the curve, as an aeroplane turns.

A problem is the beginning of a curve. If the straight simply becomes an arc of a circle, the lateral centrifugal force (see xkcd) goes instantaneously from 0 to maximum. One might think an Euler spiral, whose rate of turn increases linearly, would fix this; but now, although the lateral force increases linearly, the onset of change in force is instantaneous, and is felt as a jolt by passengers. Apparently it is possible to create turns giving a smooth ride, but requires sophisticated dynamic models that are presently beyond me.

I started making a game with very smoothly transitioning banked turns, but it's a lot more complex than I thought! (Other games use tilting-like mechanisms, such as suspension, and the natural averaging over the four contact points of a car, but that's not applicable to what I want to do). If anyone has some pointers, I'd love to hear them!

P.S. Re trains: Of course, another problem is that banked turns are "static", the same for all trains regardless of velocity; whereas the "dynamic" tilting can adjust to current velocity, on-the-fly (in addition to smoothing out transitions). The rail camber/cant can remain suited to the typical velocity of non-tilting trains using the same track.
Well put. I find it troubling that we spend so much on research when it's a very -- dare I say -- wholistic problem with a myriad number of causes, some subtle and some more obvious. We may never understand fully the depth of the problem and shining a light on things like certain drugs, while helpful as short-term fixes for certain individuals, may just be masking those other issues.
Can you comment on this a bit?

It's not obvious to me how open access to this data would be intrinsicly bad, but I suppose that relies on the assumption that it's equally available to all parties (which may not (definitely not?)) be the case.

any pointers to the statuatory/regulatory guidelines would be appreciated.
You have the wrong impression. No United States law criminalizes port scanning. This is a legal and useful service.

See for yourself: https://nmap.org/book/legal-issues.html

Even if it was illegal wouldn't the answer simply be to rent servers in a country where it isn't illegal (or even condoned by the government) and scan away? I'd imagine most government responses to this would be IDGAF.
I don't like that the comments aren't public. I'm finding it way too easy to be short.

I'd think that it's chaining together the characters in the file, catenating a file to the screen. Wikipedia claims that the first version of Unix did a single file.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cat_(Unix)#History

Whereas "con"catenate means to link separate things together. These are minor distinctions, but if somebody is going to call things "asinine" they should at least get the pedantry correct.
Who would be better positioned to stage a trap coalesced with a bug for the Sanders campaign than individuals within a company with a track record for bugs?

It sounds like the data director of the Sanders campaign was the only member who could initially access Clinton data--would this not go both ways?

If such extreme bugs were the norm, why would the DNC continue to use such a vendor? The entire platform the DNC depends upon is hindered each time such a bug happens, so it makes no sense from an organizational perspective.

Conspiracy is a strong word, but it seems a bit naive to look at this as either "is a bug" or "isn't a bug".
Calling the start button a travesty is ridiculous. The start menu is a useful and appropriate menu where programs and other shortcuts are listed that nobody really has a problem with outside contrived complaints on the internet that were made for the sake of complaining. The real travesty was the abrasive and confusing replacement they made for it in Windows 8.
Every industry is fighting over anyone with a tech background. Having experience in multiple areas is more valuable I'd argue. Someone who can manage online campaigns, throw down some html, js should be able to get into pretty much anywhere.

It’s currently only a bunch of ideas that the people are discussing, but Martin Graesslin has already shown interest in the idea as being a better solution, here the original post presenting the idea, I haven’t checked up on the topic for a whole year yet, though:

I was really hoping for statement level instead of triggers. SQL Server has them and they're extremely useful.
Heck, even well known boring big companies (eg IBM, Oracle) have great smaller teams that are doing interesting things. Much of it is a crapshoot. The nice benefit of the smaller company is that you have much higher likelihood of seeing your code go into production, and experiencing the feedback from it being used. At a big company you will get shielded from that. Often for good reasons - but the feedback truly helps your career.
The section on options doesn't mention early excercising and 83(b)s. I thought it was commonplace to allow options to be exercised before vesting, at a nominal valuation. File your 83(b), and then any increase in value of your options are not considered capital gains; you just pay tax on the final amount that you sell the shares for.

Is this an omission in the post, or is the early exercise option less common than I thought?
(a) Yes, they are (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chinese_character_classificati...).

CISA is now law.
Perhaps, but I think it equally or even more likely that it was intentional. This is someone who went through immense trouble to set up a system that is otherwise rather elaborate and detailed. Maybe he just hacked together the last bit and botched it with a ~25% error rate, or maybe there's more to the story that we've yet to figure out.
The cash and reservation machines were definitively good examples because those things are simply obsolete. Paying through your phone or with a credit card (apart from tracking you mentioned) is easier and less expensive for the economy (more efficient) no matter how you put it, it's just changing a few bits on some accounts. The same goes for reservations: when you have your smartphone everywhere with you and could do it from anywhere, a whole machine dedicated to it is completely obsolete.

Other differences definitively aren't so clear. The trash is a good example, but a more glaring difference is how little crime they have. Crime is almost non-existent and there are no firearms, this can make parts of the US and large parts of the word seem comparatively barbaric.
When you say unexercised you mean unvested, right? Can you redo the numbers and break-out the vesting stock?
