I think you are confusing most of Europe with the UK.
Most of Europe has freedom of speech which goes far beyond what is offered in the UK.

The only country where Holocaust denying is out right banned is Germany beyond that only France has a law that specifically protects against antisemitism.

And sorry but Muslims have way way more "freedom" as far as saying and doing shit goes, you virtually cannot criticize immigrants or Muslims in the current political climate in most European countries until a situation boils over and blows up into public rage.

People especially in the public sector are so afraid from being marked as racists that they try to cover up pretty much every possible scandal that involves Immigrants/Muslims until it blows up completely.

You can have the figures from the Muslim Brotherhood, Hamas, and many other "controversial" organizations freely go about and preach pretty much genocide as long as they substitute Jews with Zionists.
Why not getting gasoline? Or even better, an EV?

I test drove a Leaf and I was very impressed in all respects. And I drive a BMW. They are cheap with govt subsides.

Roughly the same tech is used by Renault in its poorly marketed but awesome Zoe. They are both affordable, and quite more so 2nd hand.

Small gasoline engines are very frugal. E.g., Fiat's fantastic TwinAir. I drove one during 36 months in Scandinavia and I got better mileage than many diesels. Due to turbo, some particles might be nasty though.

Somewhere in between you have many hybrid cars. Small Lexus are not too expensive and they are very nice.
A color hi-res e-ink display would be a much better fit for the project: it requires power only to change the image and doesn't need light sensors. Too bad e-ink isn't being developed anymore.
I do like learning new languages, but there's a certain amount of fatigue in this particular space, given the pace of announcements and limited time. There's a worry that one could spend all one's available time for learning new things and have learned nothing of value in two years.

For this to be of value, it has to provide at least one of four things:

1. Becoming a widely-adopted system (like node.js)

2. Strong influence on widely-adopted systems (like Elm)

3. Insights that influence one personally (like most any lisp)

4. More fun than alternative things one could be playing with
Of course it's right. But will it be right in 2 years or 25?

The power of the 'break up' email
Yes, all you need is `pxeboot` and `bsd.rd`. Put them in the root of your TFTP server's directory, have your DHCP server hand out `pxeboot` as the filename (and rename `bsd.rd` to `bsd` on your TFTP server) and point it towards your TFTP server, boot via PXE, and install.

You can mirror the install sets locally (on a HTTP server) for performance reasons, if you like; otherwise, you can just download them from an HTTP mirror during the installation.

I've been working on automating the whole process (fully-automated installations for bringing up new VMs) and it's so much simpler than with other operating systems.
> It might look like this because new line in facebook chat is "shift+enter", I believe only a few percent of facebook users know that shortcut

Perhaps, and maybe Facebook should be criticized for making shift+enter less obvious. But it's still there and, in general, when I see an "email-like" Facebook message it has line breaks done properly.

FWIW my brother has a Hero 3 Silver and got all kind of problem with it. Not booting, freezing, firmware etc. He serviced it and is supposed to have got back a new one, but years later it's worse and worse (I think it's a RAM problem or something, who knows).

Now the warranty is over and the customer service is still useless with their stock sentences.

So he need a new one and I'm guessing it's not gonna be a GoPro.
This is something I have been rambling about in front of others for quite some time, but I haven't gone as far as to actually look into it more closely like what you did with this survey. So definitely a good read and thanks for putting the effort!
To be clear, I don't actually think this means you're desperate.

I'm just offering an alternative (and, in my view, more consistent) explanation for the survey's results.
Don't worry. I have a newer GoPro and I truly love it. It's taken some of my favorite pictures, including my engagement picture :) Great wide angle lens and the integration with the phone app is really nice.

Of course it's not forbidden. It's just confusing to say you're comparing React to a framework, when you implicitly include things other than React in the definition of React.
I've been following Imba for the past several months since the initial announcement on HN.

I like the clean syntax, tags, and high performance, so I hope you guys attract interest despite all the library/framework fatigue we're experiencing in frontend JS land. It's rather refreshing to be able to write code and view all together, like <div.marker>.css(appropriate_styling)

It would be great if you had some walked-through example apps on webpages (like the old site used to have). That kind of thing helps people better understand the benefits of your approach.
My fiance has a plastic macbook (not a 2008) that is still supported and running El Capitan. It was running sluggishly so I too dropped in and SSD and some more RAM. The Macbook has fared well compared to my 2011 MBP which has video card issues Apple wont fix.

Either way getting 5+ years out a laptop is outstanding. I went through a few Sony Vaios in that amount of time during their hayday plus a brand new computer that had the monitor go out completely. Plus I was stuck on windows which is a big pain point for me.

Looking forward to replacing the '11 MBP once another refresh happens this year.

What a funny concept you created.
Or perhaps they are probing the fact I had to change my window regulators EIGHT TIMES on my previous car (Scenic), while the vigorously defended that 1) it was not a design fault and 2) refused to make the repair at their own costs.

And despite hundred of pages of online forum discussion about this particular problem.

And, mind you, it's not just them, I think the auto-industry needs to be kicked, hard, and repeatedly until they start behaving with a notch more honesty.

You can dislike the way people treat it all you want, and say it makes no sense (and I'd agree), but if you argue with how it works then you're basically yelling at the clouds.

Show HN: Can'tada – Tracking the stuff you can't use in Canada
"People making programming languages are much better suited by targeting non-programmers: existing devs are often simply not their audience."

In this case I'd argue it would be better for non-programmers to learn JavaScript before a language which compiles to it.

How is it a fair comparison though? In a study, you should clearly express what variable(s) you're changing with each variation and only change those.

In this case, the author varied both the number of messages and the medium. That makes it impossible to say which is actually the cause of the effect, and I speculate that the number of messages is the better explanation.

It's like comparing the reliability of USPS and UPS by sending 4 different packages on the former and 1 on the latter. That's obviously not a valid study.
The copyright holder can license a work under any license at any time. Although you can obviously issue an exclusive license for example, in most countries you can not simply dissolve the copyright (there is no concept of assigning something to the public domain). So practically, there is no way to write a license that stops the copyright holder from issuing a new and different license.

What the GPL does is forbid anyone who is not the copyright holder from changing the license. If you make a derived work from something and wish to use the GPL as the means for allowing you to make that derived work, then you must use the GPL.

The "better terms" that more permissive licenses give you is the ability to change the license when you make a derived work. Of course someone can fork the original open source version, but this is only useful if that person: 1) knows about it 2) has access to it 3) can build and install it for their platform. In many cases, more permissive licenses are preferred because vendors know that they can provide digital locks on the platforms that stop people from deploying free (as in freedom) versions. They wish to get the benefit of open source development, but still lock their users out of certain functionality.

Permissive licenses are useful, but they are not automatically better for everyone in every circumstance. Certainly I have a lot of useless bricks that used to be useful consumer electronics because my vendor doesn't let me upgrade them. Strangely the best piece of consumer hardware I ever bought was a bicycle navigation unit from Sony. GPL from top to bottom and they even gave you instructions on how to rebuild it and deploy it.

Does it matter? It certainly does to me. YMMV.

It's also quite dangerous if you haven't taken physical preparations beforehand. To sit on the floor 6-8 hours a day with a weak westernised body, used to sitting in a chair, is dangerous. If your not super fit and have great core strength, the muscles around your spine simply can't hold you for that long and you collapse into the skeleton, which can lead to injury. Traditionally, Vipassana would have rigorous physical training before the meditation, now in the westernised setting, we just go from sitting at desk 8 hrs a day for decades, to sitting on the cushion.

Furthermore, the endocrine system can get really messed up when you sit for that long over a number of period of days. When the body doesn't move, things stagnate and cause problems (just look at all the research coming out about the dangers of prolonged sitting)

However if one is physically fit & ready to begin, then great things can happen!
DesignerNews is where the design community meets
Specialist hardware, supported by specialist network engineers should be the smart choice. It invariably leads to a monoculture.

If you buy Cisco and a Cisco specialist, you'll be buying Cisco for as long as the specialist is employed, regardless of any leaps or bounds Juniper et al. make.

Same deal with databases. Oracle is often a smart choice, but so is Postgres, SQL Server, Cassandra, Redis. If I've hired a DBA with 10 years of Oracle experience, the chances are that any move away from Oracle will rub against "Why hire an oracle specialist if you're not going to use them?".

My hope is always "Because they're smart, genuinely understand storage and retrieval and will learn the other systems faster than a smart generalist". But that isn't how it plays out.

I would hope that hiring a specialist means that, at some point, they come to you and say "So, I think I can save us money and increase uptime if we move to X". It happens in software all the time. Its hard to keep devs on any one particular platform before they get twitchy (also a problem).

In my mind buying Cisco is like using Heroku, Rails, Ember. All fine tools, that help you get a job done quickly whilst you figure out what your real problems are but shouldn't be seen as the final solution.
This may have already been posted (even maybe a couple of times) before, but I've just found out about it by chance and there may be others who will be glad to use it along with HN.
What's it like to have your emails investigated?
It's not really complex on its own, just that a lot of developers used ad-hoc regexp-based parsers and made some assumptions (like hardcoded namespace names, say, some software really expected "x:" prefix and didn't care for "xmlns"es) when processing it. I absolutely admit (and don't like) a bad framing scheme — it would've been much better not as XML stream, but as TLVs of structured data — but that's manageable with streaming parsers, and otherwise I don't see why XMPP's core is super complex.

When I think of something super complex that's SOAP (where you can literally write the same call in multiple different and server-incompatible ways), and XMPP is nowhere close.

As much as I don't like XML (and I do), it allowed XMPP a great amount of extensibility that's just not possible with simpler/non-extensible formats like JSON (although possible with YAML or ASN.1, and doable with implementing some format on top of JSON). Most chat protocols just don't allow to implement arbitrary extensions. E.g. you want your chat service to have a concepts of, say, hats¹ for participants — with IRC the best you can do is to run a HatsBot or make a custom DCC protocol. With XMPP you just decide on a schema and put your stuff with a custom namespace (then if it's something useful for everybody, file a XEP). So, while XML may be not best format, I think it absolutely it made sense.

It was 4.2.5-1-ARCH, and I didn't file a bug report, no.

I didn't have much data to submit. No kernel panics, no useful error messages, nothing beyond it saying it wouldn't mount. One could read the tea leaves from the filesystem as it sat, but such data spelunking could take a while on an 8TB partition, and I wanted to get the disks back into use.

I didn't notice the corruption until after I had unmounted it, so scrubbing it wasn't an option.
Getting thru at HN takes multiple submission it seems. Even for a big project like this.
What does this mean for DDG?
I think the cost factor is the biggest reason. Previously you needed to dedicate actual people to listening in on conversations. You had a listening office with physical copper lines coming in and if you wanted to listen to a new line, you'd have to patch it in, which after a certain point means disconnecting a line you have less need for, because the patch panel only has so many connection points.

A secure, end-to-end encrypted system would surely do a lot to increase the cost. But a big problem is that it's still very tempting to just poison the well and weaken the crypto/plant backdoors in the build infrastructure/whatever because that kind of thing enables bulk collection again.

For most people who do a bit of emailing, some light www browsing, a bit of word processing and spreadsheeting, some messaging, and some very light gaming (solitaire): it's profoundly depressing that the needs of the bloated OS and the modern WWW[1] drive the need for ridiculous amounts of RAM and processor power.

The sad truth about XMPP is that a lot of developers actually did this (at least in early days). Maybe because a lot of readily available libraries weren't really compatible with XML streams and XMPP's idea of framing.

And their XML parsing were quite limited.

The Mysterious Case of CVE-2016-0034: The Hunt for a Microsoft Silverlight 0-day
Penguin Classics publishes a book called Buddhist Scriptures that does a pretty good job of exploring the breadth of Buddhist thought. There's no room for it to be a good single-volume reference to all of Buddhism—it's just too diverse and has too many important works for even a substantial fraction to fit—but it's a good way to get an idea of the lay of the land. It's very diverse, and I'd say the majority of it in practice easily fits in a Western definition of religion. Pure Land even comes off as a cousin to Christianity, in its insistence that saving ourselves isn't likely and that we should devote our practice to praying (more or less) for intersession at death by a specific Buddha, who will take us to paradise (again, more or less).

I think you're reading more into my assertion than what was there. Don't assume that superiority gives us the right to abuse (I would argue quite the opposite) and don't assume that regarding ourselves as equal to other forms of life will somehow lead to virtuous behavior (I would argue the opposite here as well). However, those are debates of their own.

The comment you're responding to is about the political impetus for ever-increasing road construction to combat congestion.

It's better, but it's still not useable at a professional level. For example, a simple task such as CMD-D to create multiple cursors in a file. Sublime text screams through the file creating the cursors. Atom is like swimming in syrup. I wish Atom well, it's an amazing piece of software. But the developers chose a dev-stack that suited them instead of one that suited the end users of the software. So it will never take over the world as it could have. See also Discourse.

PHP gets a bad rap because of the way many of the people who use it program. The language would be very good, in my opinion, with just a few standardization tweaks to the standard library.

It seems this project has retconned the standard library. I'd say this is a perfect application for this sort of language.

Weak typed, simple to read, simple to write prototyping.

Anyone can pick up PHP, that's its beauty.
for very little gain

But there's a lot to gain in analyzing the data. E.g. AF447 was a perfectly flyable plane that was lost due to bad piloting.

I don't know if Air France has actually started training and/or screening their pilots to help prevent a similar accident. But that's why we search so diligently; we need to know what went wrong so we can try to fix it.
There's usually a big leap between "my team doesn't want to be taught by me, the manager" and "my team doesn't want to learn". And "you can't make them learn" leans more towards the former. If you want your team to learn new things, there's a number of ways to do that which don't involve coming across as "I'm going to teach you all the things you're not doing right", which oftentimes is a pretty destructive way that this gets communicated.
I think the line between "IDE" and "Editor" is starting to blur, and Atom is toward the IDE side of that scale.

I personally still use Notepad++ as my "editor". Quick things like a git commit, just looking over a single log file or something, etc... Basically when i don't plan to be using it for more than a few minutes.

Atom comes out when i do development. It's more-or-less my IDE at this point. And when viewed through that lense, it starts faster than jetbrains does!
