What if you run out of money for lawyers and want to drop the suit because of that?
One case where Java generics are far superior to C# (actually CLR) is implementing more advanced generics on top of JVM thanks to erasure. C# generics are too weak to express concepts found in Scala or Haskell type system directly, but at the same time too strong to serve as a base for a standalone implementation of such type systems.
It is easier to port shell than shell script.
I enjoyed that account of their experience. It's a bit cliché and naive but not in a bad way. They seem to have genuine wonder for what they encountered and it's an experience that has opened their eyes to a different world and -hopefully- made them question some of their previous beliefs and assumptions about the world.

I especially love it when people come to Hong Kong for the first time. I still view that city with the same wonder I had when I arrived 20 years ago, probably why I never left.

The account of their visit in China is spot on.
It's messy, impossible to fully grasp, completely alien and yet things get done, fast. You better be there during early production if you value your product though. They did well to make the trip.
It would be easier for politicians not to take action if morons could stop getting themselves killed by getting drunk and then combining ecstasy and some random powders... Oh look some lovely headlines coming in now. How could anyone have known that there was a risk in that action??? The poor little teenager...

As someone who has zero skin in the game, I'm for full legalisation - but at the same time it has to come with taking responsibility for the consequences of choices - especially those taken whilst under the influence.
This seems to ignore the fact that plenty of people who grew up outside Islam have turned to radical extremist Islam.

Templates are not proper generics. Templates can be used to emulate generics, but they are not the same thing at all. Templates are not first-class citizen of the type system (they don't survive to the typechecking phase), while generics are. You cannot write a generic list implementation in C++ and have it typechecked.

If I said I'm worried about people voting for politicians that will facilitate the spread of islam in Europe, I'd get downvoted for it in this progressive echo chamber. The US has engaged in useless conflicts both with democratic and republican presidents at the helm. The notion that Trump could and would start deadly wars on his own accord is highly speculative, bordering on baseless propaganda, and moot at this point. I don't have a dog in the fight since I'm not from the US, but it's appalling how pervasive and slanderous the American left is (perhaps my perspective is skewed through the internet, maybe the American right has no significant online presence). People getting killed in Belgium is not a chance for you to inject some US presidential campaign bullshit.

On the contrary, I think the people who know whether an action is right or wrong don't spend a lot of time arguing either way, they just go ahead and do what they think is right. It's the people who don't know whether an action is right or wrong that get all worked up trying to handle their conflicted feelings about it.

It's not only that Turkey is a much more frequent receiver of such acts mainly due to ongoing conflict with the Kurdish minority.

Bombings in Ireland were also not that heavily reported on in the West, yes world wide web didn't really exist back then but the main media usually reported it as a footnote unless it was really an extreme event.

When Israel was averaging one suicide bombing every 3 days in the late 90's and early 2000's it seems that in the west it only reached the headlines once the death count came to 30 or so or as far as the US media goes when ever Americans were either targeted or were otherwise casualties of the event.

Ever heard of price differentiation, is that what you allude to? Also, it's not like %2 was a small gain for stable growth.

On a individual level 10.000$ per month of activity, not counting 2 months vacation per semester, would be enough for a good enough private instructor. Certainly, tuition, as in schooling, is completely covered by tuition, so it's not completely fair to throw it all in one bag.

That is, of course the billions can be taken into account in a mixed cost calculation, but that would delude the elitism, wouldn't it? I agree, subsidized gratis pro bono education should be possible, but it could never be costless.

Now, what about the private tutors: Wouldn't one on one instruction be a remarkable improvement over huge, passive lectures? There is the problem of quality control, but from what I can tell, this does exist too to a lesser degree in academia. It can sway into the opposite direction even, if a research professor is too far out there to be helpful, for lack of better words. A lot of undergrad classes are taught by mere grad students. There are a lot of them.

Wouldn't the dialog still far outdo the lesser quality content that is communicated, because the latter relies a lot on the students understanding anyway and the sooner that reaches a certain basic level of fundamental knowledge, the better? Edit: Meaning, fundamental knowledge that is enough to allow the student to judge the progress and to also study independently, knowledge that is fundamental enough, that less than world class understanding makes virtually no difference.

Out of curiosity, what does your C program do? I don't imagine yours is a typical use case if you don't use any other services (not even S3?) and when you consider that you're limited to 300 seconds of running time and not more than 100 concurrent executions.

An engine is just a mechanism for converting stored energy into forward motion - the details are, well, details. There's nothing wrong with propellers (probably impellers will be more efficient), and those efficiency numbers are (presumably) including that.

I find Xcode quite a joy to use. It seems well laid-out, not a lot of UI chrome, easy to find the things you need and get things out of the way when you don't. Code completion, debugging, it's all pretty great for me. Not sure if the degree of your hate for it is accurate.
Because I like to play games as if it were me in that characters shoes, and make decisions that I would make in that situation (I always end up being some kind of neutral character as a result).

>especially for the price.

Yup! They're free! I have found Apple's developer ecosystem to be fantastic overall.
Some of the things off the top of my head in no particular order; protocols, (closer to traits than interfaces), Optional types, (elsewhere no null types), pattern matching (if let, case let), guards, (so you can cover your preconditions nicely), immutable let bindings first, var variables second, (with mutability being tied to the binding outsite of reference types/classes), tuples, lazy evaluation, flexible closure syntax, fairly powerful type inference, enums as tagged unions, (or as standard C enums if you want), extensions - even for core structures if you need it - straighforward way to define custom or overload existing operators, type system powerful enough to be able to implement a fairly convincing Functor, Applicative or Monad without much effort, structs AND classes, most things are value types...

But most importantly to me, Swift is composed in such a way that it just 'clicks' for me, ie many times many times I can guess how something is likely called or how it will behave without looking at the docs and I have a solid chance of being right - that 'intuitiveness' is something that is lacking in many other languages I've used over the years.

In regards to C#, by now it is definitely not just a Java clone anymore, in particular saner type system and much more functional features edge it for me over Java, plus the speed of evolution is much greater in the C# land.
If you want to see how C# and Java differ but are tied to the JVM, try Kotlin: http://kotlinlang.org - it's fairly similar in feel to C# and has 100% Java compatibility.
By recently you mean in the last 5-10 years. It has been around for ages.

Is it easy? Probably not but that is irrelevant because the competition already does it.

Apple got a valid warrant here! But they fought back against this one.

I'm not saying they're wrong to obey court orders.

I'm saying that people will be saying that Apple fight against court orders when in fact they don't usually fight the court orders. They normally give out the information.
Apple 9.7“ iPad Pro Review
When the planner of the Paris attacks was arrested yesterday, immediately ~200 muslims assembled and attacked the police and the press. How much more direct can an expression of support for terrorism get ? When the police arrest a terrorist, immediately the surrounding muslim youth attacks ... Apparently it's not a problem at all to find hundreds of people willing to commit violence in support of terror in the muslims that just happen to be out on the street in a small suburb of Brussels.

Not a single one protested the violence (although that I understand : in Brussels you won't get beaten up, or worse, for excusing or even supporting terror. The opposite stance gets you branded racist in the best case).

There are numerous places in Brussels where the tension between the police and the new "locals" is very close to the flashpoint. And to be frank, Brussels is positively peaceful compared to Paris and Rotterdam. I do not have direct experience of how it is in other cities, but I doubt these cities are the only ones. Antwerp, where I live, is also rapidly becoming a flashpoint and has been the site of muslim terror attacks against Jews. Tellingly, lots of Jews are leaving.

And let's get one thing straight. Brussels is loaded to the brim with minorities. From the black community from Congo to Lebanese and Iraqi Christian refugees, all have communities. Whilst these communities aren't without problems, there is only one community that constantly commits violence on everyone surrounding them. From "youth" randomly attacking whoever is stupid enough to get on the metro alone (and I'm a man, any woman knows that you can't take the metro alone anymore. 5 years ago, not a problem). I just want to say : it's not just these attacks, in fact, that's the least of the problems.
I don't see that the engineering is hard. You could just take an existing design and replace most of the cabin with batteries.

Building an economically viable mass-market aircraft with a 70% mass fraction might be another question, but if we're just talking about the engineering challenge of building it at all I don't think that's hard?
This is a strong indicator that socialization has a strong influence in what makes people become terrorists.

We see one of the memes that have a positive correlation with terrorism very clearly; it's islam.

People have reflexive denial when one points this out. You can spot this when they don't react to your arguments in a logical manner.

If we finally accepted that islam is among other things a facist authoritarian political ideology, then we could eventually say "no" to Saudi Arabia building and controlling mosques in our countries.

I wonder why people internalized political correctness as if it were a totalitarian ideology.
> Also, "incomprehensible to anyone who doesn't know .net" may be true, but your average shell script that builds on tools such as sort, grep, ls, cut, cat, sed, awk, etc. isn't that particularly comprehensible to people who don't know UNIX, either.

Absolutely. The point is, "you can use familiar .NET functions and everything is an object" is not something that makes the whole thing easier if you're not familiar with .NET and don't want objects in your shell scripts :-).

Powershell and Unix shell have vastly different descents, and it shows. It's more or less a historical accident that we're conflating them nowadays.
I am interested in this too. $100/night and $70/night sounds affordable and looking at the picture, the hotel room looked pretty good.

When you marginalise and stigmatise people, and give them no hope for the future, I wouldn't be surprised if some of them end up reacting like that.
Apple has really been pushing hard on Mac technology over the last few years. Fusion drives, Thunderbolt, 5K displays, the new MacBook's aggressively light form factor, a thorough UI revamp. The only sign of stagnation is the state of the App Store, but all that means is we carry on buying and installing apps the good old way.

Apple is trying to boost the iPad, so obviously they're playing up it's future role and persuading people it's the next big thing. What else does anyone expect them to do?

I think Apple genuinely do think iOS is the future of mainstream consumer computing, and a big chunk of professional computing as well. But that doesn't mean OSX has no future. Nor does it mean this future of computing is going to be here in full force and sweep traditional form factors under the rug in the next 6 months. But 5 or 10 years down the line? Maybe. But that's not a concern if you're buying a machine today.
Hi there! Peldi from Balsamiq here. The profit sharing program is one of our most successful policies. The only update it required since 2011 is that we raised the percentage of profits to be shared from 10 to 15%, and we might raise it again in the future as we have more and more employees.
And how open to be is also cultural. Americans appear excessively cheery and excited all the time to Irish/British people. It sounds so extreme, that it sounds forced and fake.

Everything in America is awesome, people are super excited to work with you, etc. British people might say "cheers" to say good bye in a shop, but Americans wish each other "have a great day!".
TV Detector Vans were a legendary hoax. A very small fleet of real vans existed, but they were completely useless and the electronics were just a movie prop.

This has never been admitted officially:

http://www.tvlicensing.co.uk/faqs/FAQ73

Which is all extremely weird - because it means the BBC spent real money buying a few vans and kitting them out with fake buttons, lights, and switches. And then more real money driving them around the UK and parking them in random locations. To frighten people.

As for Scarfolk - found it a few years ago, thought it was hilarious. Technically it's an example of hauntology, which is borrowed from Derrida[1], but only really makes sense in the grimmer parts of the UK.

In my experience Powershell requires a lot of .NET concepts to understand outside of C# syntax from what I recall, and the amount of typing was far greater than typical Linux shells.

If I'm spending twice the time typing on average, even more advanced features won't win me over when I get to use them occasionally (while, again, typing way more on average). It should be saving you time, in the end.
You can also get a 5 day Shenzhen only visa at the border for a lot cheaper than the regular Chinese visa. (Although only from the Lo Wu crossing).
What I ask for is to study the reasons and solutions to the problem of terrorism in a scientific manner, that is not fearing inconvenient answers.

It's sad that one even has to ask for such an approach. In most cases it's undisputedly the only senseable one.

You can't work scientifically if your fear of being labeled racist guides and censors you.

> You can use any of the religious books to rally people up to fight against the non-believer.

Some books are much better at this than others. And while I don't believe the bible was that prevalent in the wars of the past, even if it was, that was centuries ago. We've cast aside such foolish things yet live in a world where many people have not.

And that's our problem.

On your second paragraph - that's exactly why an ideology that can transform a person from a citizen into a terrorist because they feel marginalized needs to be addressed. There's a whole lot of marginalized people across our globe.
We can't have people actually talking about the issues can we? I mean free-speech is only supported by people if its agreeable. we don't want to hurt anyone's feelwings... even on Yc/HN.

Something would be nice.

Pop-up tutorials always make me feel somewhat intruded on and break the transparent assimilation between me and the tech; being reminded you don't completely control this thing in your hand (or on your monitor -- websites fall in the same boat) dampens my trust of a tool.

Maybe including it in tutorials in the system app. But, yeah something would be nice.
