> Edit: I'm reading about "libinput" that it has "palm detection" but it's certainly not my problem with the pseudo "noise." Even when I hold only and just one finger, the mouse cursor "trembles" and "shakes."

libinput also adds better noise filtering, finger position precision, and other improved algorithms. I found it quite an improvement even on my current laptop with a great touchpad, and on another laptop it made the difference between usable and unusable.

Abject poverty is likely to have way more impact on kids performance in school than any level of school funding. Whether you want to lump that in with "children's efforts" or not, it's certainly exogenous to the school.
It's just a simple css value and not intentional, I think. I don't remember where I read this or what it was exactly, some other comment about another site.
Numpy support is improving but incomplete, see http://morepypy.blogspot.com/2015/02/linalg-support-in-pypyn... - and the performance is not going to be any better than stock numpy with CPython. If your code spends all its time in C extensions, PyPy doesn't buy you anything since its API compatibility layer is slow and incomplete. You should probably look into Julia.

Manual mapping shouldn't be required for most current desktop environments. GNOME and KDE certainly do, and I think Unity does as well. If your desktop environment doesn't map those keys by default, please file a bug against it.

It's great that Linux makes it possible to manually fix such things, but it's even better when they work out of the box.
This is cool! Any particular reason why you need permission to write all my public repositories when I log in?
I won't use Ubuntu, for the same reason. I don't know OSX enough to have an opinion. But Microsoft has way crossed the line with Win 10.
If it's not worth doing, it's not worth doing well.
Seems reasonable. But now you risk the chance of reading code written by those who don't specify types, don't know better, or don't use -Wall.

I think deciding what to allow and prohibit by default is an important design decision.
If anyone tried quiet_encode_soundcard and found it glitchy, I'm terribly sorry! I was writing the wrong number of samples to Pa_WriteStream. That bug has been fixed and the fix pushed to master.

It looks like there may also be a bug with the receivers being garbage collected in Firefox in the JS text demo. I'm looking at that now.

I find myself thinking of the different between:

"Look at this cool code-trick I found... Maybe it's good?"

"Look at this cool code-trick I found... Warning: Despite the cool part, it actually contains several subtle and horrifying flaws and no sane person should ever trust it in production."
"the poor school districts get supplemental funds from federal and state governments bringing their total funding on par or higher than richer school districts"

Citation needed.

Just a casual web search for your claim seems to be yielding the opposite conclusion.

My anecdotal experience from moving around a lot (over half a dozen public schools from kindergarten to 12th grade) also contradicts your claim. Competition at richer schools has definitely given me an extra edge. The phrase "competition at poor schools" is also oxymoronic. What competition? Competition in classmates ignoring teachers and fights constantly erupting?

The gulf between poor schools and rich schools is ridiculous. Some schools offer several Advanced Placement courses, several International Baccalaureate courses, and partnerships with multiple nearby colleges for college courses. Students at poorer schools don't even know what AP and IB courses are. You don't know competition until the top 10% of your graduating class are either all going to Ivy League and prestigious colleges or all already have credit for college courses before even applying to college.

And I was just talking about the insane competition from fellow students. School resources and personnel are another matter. State-of-the-art SMART Boards. Laptops. Tablets. Multiple fields for multiple sports. Paid field trips. Study abroad. A robust student exchange program. Multiple year foreign language programs in around half a dozen languages. Teachers with multiple/advanced degrees. Several guidance counselors. Multiple vice/assistant principals. Multiple coaches.

I am genuinely curious what edge you think a poor school gave you.

You can even get cheaper than that. Although LowEndSpirit does not offer a dedicated IPv4 address, they use haproxy to send requests to the correct VPS based on the host header.

Not quite. You need to capitalize the S and remove the period. We don't typically use double punctuation.

Frankly, the whole phrasing of that statement would be very bizarre from an American's standpoint. We would typically say something along the lines of "Is the question worth caring about?" It's more concise and doesn't emulate an inner dialog.

More to your larger point, the placement of punctuation within quotes, while grammatically correct, has the feel of leaving a sentence incomplete.

> I think deciding what to allow and prohibit by default is an important design decision.

I don't think I disagree with that, but I don't think it was made wrong here. It's true that you "risk the chance" of reading unannotated code, but I find there are times when the code I need to write is clearer to me than the type it'll have, and being able to defer annotation past compilation is occasionally a big win and often a small one.

And in that worst case scenario of having to look at unannotated code, you can fall back to asking your tooling.
I'm suddenly reminded of two stories. One was my Civics teacher who grew up in a dry country. Every four years they got a new sheriff. Because hey after you've earned a quarter of million in bribes (circa 1965) why not retire. And another who mentioned when she was a teenager the feds busting two local sheriffs deputies for trafficking cocaine.

You really want a corrupt sheriff or drug dealing cops to have access to all the stuff the NSA does?

Seriously? Scares the crap out of me.
The study looked at basic technology tasks: things like using email, buying and returning items online, using a drop-down menu, naming a file on a computer or sending a text message.

Do they realize that the average American High-School aged student would consider almost all of those activities to be archaic relics of a bygone age? Young people don't use email or drop-down menus, and even texting is "so 2000's". American teens have moved on to Snapchat or whatever is after that.
moe is right. And what is strange is that you keep repeating yourself.

They absolutely do.

No, they absolutely don't--GitHub says so. You think they absolutely should have to, but they do not.

Here's an example: Alice posts a feature request on the issue tracker for Project Awesome saying that the project's mascot should be changed to a unicorn. Bob downvotes it. Neither person has provided an argument for their position.

According to you, Bob is required to explain why he doesn't want a unicorn mascot, but Alice doesn't have to explain why she wants one.

You are assuming that a positive argument will always be made in support of an assertion, and that therefore a negative argument must be made against it rather than merely a contrary assertion.

But it often happens that the pro side of an issue makes unsupported assertions and unreasonable claims, then the con side makes reasoned arguments, and the pro side proceeds to ignore the points raised by their opponents.

The real problem is anonymous voting. Anonymous votes are not very useful, because for all you know, the person voting doesn't even use the software in question. Voting within a team of collaborators could certainly be useful, even without substantiation, but "drive-by" votes by random Internet people are the problem.

EDIT: Ironically, this downvoting of moe's and my comments proves our points and demonstrates why anonymous downvoting is a problem. "We should only have reasoned arguments!" they say. But when reasoned arguments are presented in opposition to their claims, they merely downvote rather than making a reasoned counterargument. They do not do as they say.

And since the cost (in time and effort) of their anonymous downvote is far less than the cost of writing a rational counterargument, the level of discourse is driven further and further down as those who are willing and able to argue their positions rationally are discouraged from doing so. Why waste your time arguing with people who do so in bad faith?

Those games are really interesting. In the first two, they are both ladder-breakers played by stronger players; my guess is the weaker players set up the ladders assuming that the stronger players wouldn't play a fifth line shoulder hit to break them, and the stronger player didn't back down. In the third game, the fifth line shoulder hits aren't that surprising; they're reductions against frameworks that were allowed to get big in exchange for growing an opposing framework; they're locally bad moves but the global benefits are clear; you'll note that both players play a fifth line shoulder hit.

The only one I can't parse is the last one. There are a lot of variations where I want to know what black's plan is.
AHAHAHAHA. "pretty much", "had read" -- so you can read what others are doing across time and space? Riiiight. Moron. Why would I listen to someone whose joy comes from telling other people they were wrong on the internet. SO meaningful. hahaha.

You don't understand the point. I am saying a drone operator that's 10x times as good is not enough if you see 100x as many people. And, the suggestion was sending 100 drones instead of a single soldier so 100x really is the right ballpark.

A drone operator may be better, but are they really going to be 100x as good? Of course not.

Don't forget drones can't detain people, the options are observe, ignore, or kill. Drones have already been responsible for a massive increase in civilian deaths, because they make attacks seem less risky.

I've been programming for 15 years and I'd have no clue what the difference between val and var is without looking it up. So I guess your definition of 'everybody' is JavaScript programmers?

And every time I see 'var', I cringe because I don't know if they mean variable or variant. But 'val' is just usless. Variables evaluate to values, constants evaluate to values, expressions are values, first-class functions are values... Everything is val.
Sounds a lot like the argument the government makes about encryption. "Do you really want terrorists and pedophiles to be able to hide from law enforcement? What about a ticking timebomb scenario?"
I bought a Macintosh SE recently at a thrift store that has KidPix on it. My housemates threw a party recently and I decided to leave it out on the table with KidPix open.

"someone decided to flag the installer"

This most probably wasn't a malicious action by a competitor. Anti-virus programs frequently report false positives - they're far from perfect.

Installers tend to do weird things that are similar to things that viruses do, e.g., write to the Windows registry. Maybe your installer is doing something in a way that made Norton think it's malicious. The fact that Symantec has a simple process for dealing with situations like this would be an indication that they frequently make mistakes.

I don't think HN is monocultural, at least to a pathological extent. There's quite a bit of debate here. The overwhelming majority of grayed out comments are baseless, off-topic, or unnecessarily inflammatory, from my perspective. I think that's because there's a norm to agree with an upvote, disagree with a non-vote, and reserve downvotes for unproductive commentary. People seem to upvote unfairly gray comments regardless of their personal agreement.

Discounted Cash Flow for Engineers
The problem here is the presupposition that a positive argument has been made. People often make claims without any supporting argument. If only counterclaims were required to have supporting argument, it would be unbalanced in favor of bald assertions.

Sometimes people make silly claims or requests or demands. In such cases, one shouldn't be required to write a reasoned counterargument. A simple "nope" should suffice.

"This is why we can't have nice things." People assume the status quo is bad or wrong and that change is necessarily progress. It begins to take more effort to keep the good things that have been achieved than it does to break them and replace them with regressions. It requires more time and effort to defend them against the onslaught of unreasoned demands because of irrational bias against the status quo.

This is true not only in software but in politics and society. But for a simple example in the software world, just look at the Metro UI: it's awful for a million reasons, a regression even from Windows 95's UI--but to some people, it's change, therefore it must be progress, therefore it must be done.
In every previous version of Windows I've used, and in Ubuntu, you could delay updates until you were ready to reboot. Windows 10 has a "Notify to schedule restart" option, but it actually means we'll schedule a restart when we see fit and give you a notification if you need to change it. If you miss that notification, your PC will reboot (probably overnight) without warning (I've had multiple overnight jobs cancelled by unexpected updates).

FWIW unlike HN, downvoting has no negative consequences to the comment on GitHub. It's useful on HN to effectively remove the off-topic and deeply non-constructive comments. But on GitHub, it serves no such function. We're going to end up with the many abuses of -1's and none of the benefits.

As for "I don’t think it’s 100% clear-cut that you should never ever implement downvotes," perhaps. There's still probably better ways to flag inappropriate comments though. Like a flag button. Downvotes are far too general and ambiguous in comparison.
It's not that anyone disagrees that all lives matter, it's that your intention in saying "all lives matter" is to undermine a legitimate social cause. "Black Lives Matter" supporters aren't saying that other lives don't matter, they're saying that black lives matter too -- and that's a valid point in a country where blacks, for example, are much more likely to receive the death penalty for committing the same offences.
Perhaps I let my emotions get the better of me. It's this empathy-devoid hyper-libertarianism that drives me nuts.

The phrase "all lives matter" is an obvious parody of "black lives matter" that effectively serves to minimize well-documented and disproportionate per-capita violence against African-Americans by US police. To those who have seen and experienced the effects of this violence first hand, those comments likely come off as petty and out of touch with reality. This may be a reason why people don't want to voluntarily associate with someone who would say/write "all lives matter".

Eventually maybe our government(s) (since I imagine US is not the only one to be concerned about) will get the hint.
