Does anybody know if this interface is Linux kernel functions + whatever POSIX is required to run Ubuntu stuff? I haven't seen that addressed, which strikes me as strange because it could have some pretty serious implications. Am I worrying over nothing, or could this make POSIX irrelevant pretty quickly as the new portability standard becomes the Linux ABI. I've cheered on Microsoft's recent moves in open source, but if they wanted to deal a serious blow - rendering POSIX irrelevant would be pretty devastating.
Absolutely! Programming is much more comfortable with a physical keyboard. I wasn't suggesting coding on a phone is ideal, just that it is possible.

I checked out the Surface Book briefly, and boy was it a massive disappointment. The screen is much more heavier than the keyboard so it's unbalanced, detaching and reattaching the screen is extremely awkward, and there were touch issues with the stylus that the salesperson could not resolve.

I'd rather hold out for the next iteration.

The real WTF is that they only started checksumming the gems in 2015!
I honestly don't really see the point in this.

If you like Ubuntu/Linux more, then just install Ubuntu/Linux on the computer without Windows. Why go through the additional layer of Windows?

Perhaps the use case is limited to people who need to run Windows/Mac-only software like AutoCAD or some Adobe software.

Technically very cool, but as a designer, I wouldn't want captions to behave like that. Center all, or left align all. Or if there really is a difference between short caption and longer description, differentiate also typographically, by changing font size, style and line height.
Yeah, the project came out of Chlorophyll[1] which was a compiler for GreenArrays that used program synthesis for optimization.

I imagine ARM has more immediate practical applications and useful benchmarks, but it came second—I assume out of a collaboration with Qualcomm Research.

You aren't paying more than if you live inside of the US. The foreign tax credit means you only pay the difference in income tax rates between the US and the foreign country. You don't pay everything you'd owe in the US (say 39% of your income), and then ALSO pay everything you'd owe in the foreign country (say 30% of your income, for a total in 69% of your income, THAT would be double-taxation).

Consider the case where you are earning enough money to be above the thresholds and in a country with higher income taxes than the US. The IRS will say that you owe X in income taxes, but will also give you a tax credit of X+Y based on the taxes you've already paid (assuming a tax treaty). As X+Y>X, you will not owe anything in the US.

Double taxation has a specific meaning and doesn't mean "paying more than one tax".
Because Microsoft wants to lock in developers to their expensive OS so they can make billions more, obviously. It's because programmers are expected to not be the smartest bunch and just be shoveled around with a bit of money and marketing expenditure. You know we took all the free stuff and made it proprietary, come serve are corporate goals. Meanwhile they have been allegedly screwing over Linux for years with backend deals with companies like Foxconn.

Is it hard, or are we told it's hard so often we all take it as a given that it's hard? Are we told it's super hard so that we will buy an "easy" weight loss solution that doesn't work?

Hint: it's not hard.

I lost 90 lbs over about six months five years go, and haven't put it back on - and eating less is easy - saved a small fortune, too.

If anything it's harder putting on and maintaining excess weight - but the process of getting obese is more immediately gratifying than applying self-control and seeing the long term gains.

Duuuude! Me too all the way... Except I don't change my accent. I just fuck with people and their stupid biases... I tell the truth, and when people are sacarcastic I take it all literally on purpose... And I make them explain everything, especially their stupid jokes!!! Oh man I love making people explain their stupid jokes to me. My favorite thing to say is, "I don't get it?" Or "yeaaah, I'm a literalist. I don't get sarcasm." ....and if the conversation hasn't turned to something real and interesting by this point and right when they're fedup and ready and to walk away and dissmis me... That's when I tell them I'm fucking with them in my best voice impression of theirs. It's all about vetting and breaking social facades. Most people and especially in tech were abussed by their peers as kids. They learned early on to judge and dismiss. You can't take it too personally and you always have to be ready to fight. The key is to come from a place of humility and not to be mean. Otherwise you'll just add to the problem and growing cultural divide. Oh yeah I'm from Oklahoma, I had a speech impediment as a kid so they tell me. I was beat up or confronted nearly every day in school by people who were afraid and didn't understand me. It didn't help that I went to school in the poorest school in town, that was also the most racially/culturally diverse school... And my mom was an administrator there. So all the worst kids had beaf with me because of my mom. But one of the best lessons I ever learned was "fuck the dumb shit"... This goes for all things in life.

I agree; 1. a "new stuff section" is super important, 2. measure popularity via engagement (although I'd use upvotes for that), 3. allow users to share via fb/tw/... .

As for the chicken egg problem; I guess focusing on a small industry first would help.
Actually, why not make Nyolk focus on sneakers first? There is a community of people that are obsessed with sneakers and they would love such platform. The word would spread quickly in that community. They eventually would become the first core community to contribute to Nuyolk.

Hello,

Thank you for your comment.

First of all, I've made my usual search on Google to skip cross posting and I confirm that the previous discussion didn't appear in the results :

https://goo.gl/ybeiG8

By the way, as you earlier mentioned, the author seems to have little legitimacy on the topic :

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11419443

However, his post is really insightful. On my side, I attended in one. Especially, I consider having tasted a coding bootcamp to be the most insightful and transformational experience in my entire life. Or simply said : a life-changing opportunity. But this one mostly teached Ruby. And I needed more, I wanted more. Mainly, JavaScript is the de facto language for the Web. Hence, the Web naturally led me to the best (and moreover Open Source!) bootcamp according to me : Founders & Coders. Clearly, after having quickly benchmarked all the other ones (including Hack Reactor), they have to my knowledge the highest requirements among all :

http://www.foundersandcoders.com/academy/#apply

Even after my first bootcamp, I still needed a few weeks to reach 5 Kyu Codewars :

http://www.codewars.com/

I have never been so proud of myself and at the same time it was a lesson of life by teaching me humility. Mastery is still a long way off but I think that this quote could be a great resume :

http://thefullstack.xyz/excellent-javascript-developer/

“Excellence is never an accident. It is always the result of high intention, sincere effort, and intelligent execution; it represents the wise choice of many alternatives – choice, not chance, determines your destiny.”

But, let's give it a try ! :)

Web Components: Why you should take a second look
Because many people like Windows and develop on/for it, but also develop server-side code which generally requires Linux... so we don't have to keep virtualising OSs or running multiple machines - we can now develop for both within a single desktop.

This is exactly the type of thing that many people want.

The underlying filesystem (NTFS) is case-sensitive, so I think it should basically work fine. Sure, Windows tools are case-insensitive, so if you use bash to create foo and Foo in the same directory you'll probably only be able to access one of them from Windows Explorer, but I doubt that's much of a problem for most people

On the low caloric density front, diet soda is great if you can't get yourself to kick soda entirely. I can easily drink multiple cans of soda per day if I have some on hand, the simple rule that they have to be diet cuts out at least 500 calories.

On the other side, high caloric density diets (that is, high fat, adequate protein, very low carb diets like the keto diet (r/keto is alright for basic info and motivation)) work pretty well too. I can consume a lot of calories via sugar, and even via complex carbs, but it's much harder for me to consume the same amount if most of those calories are coming from fat. I don't have a strong will when it comes to reducing the amount I eat of something delicious, so I make up for it by restricting what I have available and ready to eat.

"This encourages you to write only using frequently used words"

"This helps you to write only using top words"

These two sentences could have different meanings though. What is a top word? The best ones? The frequently used ones? Without context it might not be clear.

Encourages and helps can also be very different.

Anyway it is quite cool I guess. Maybe you could add automatic synonyms for words that are within the 1000.

Some of what you're saying is true, but some doesn't quite work out:

1. Work while you study: why work a part time job for $X and go to school part time, when you could finish school in half the time by going full time and spend the remaining time working for $2X? Work study is generally counterproductive.

2. $65K is still a lot of debt. Lots of my peers have that and $20K/yr jobs.

The truth is, there simply aren't many good options for today's young adults. There are a handful of fields that can pay well with a degree, but then you have the risk that you won't be able to finish. And there are fewer fields where you can work without a degree and get paid well. Even in CS, a field where you usually can get jobs without a degree, I've roughly capped out my pay without a degree at age 29.
Smart move by Windows. I guess that developer usage of an OS ultimately results in developer developments for the OS, though I don't have any number for this. It seems to me that a lot of developers, especially at startups, have switched to OS X with its shiny GUI and UNIX compatibility. I'd hazard the guess that this will ultimately result in OS X becoming more of a developer target over time. Initially for developer-related stuff (see Dash as an example that is only available for OS X (and Zeal for Linux)), but later probably for other stuff as well.

What's illustrative for the dominance of *NIXes in development are the number of projects on Github that contain only +NIX installation instructions and no Windows instructions (again, anecdata).

So if Windows wants to remain competitive, they need to retain developers. And as the +nix way of developing seems to be dominant now in quite a number of fields, Microsoft needs to adapt.

Why, you're asking, do I think that the +NIX way of development is dominant today? In a nutshell, Web -> Unix Servers -> POSIX shells -> Languages that work best with POSIX -> OSs that are POSIX-compliant.

Edit: Asterisks don't work as expected here. At least not in a Markdown-compatible way.

Panama Papers: Mapped
As others already indicated I'm not sure if music in general, or Spotify in particular, should be a role model for other industries. Sure, it's convenient for the user but artists and labels (I'm not talking majors, but small, caring labels) can't survive with these rates.
What the movie / TV industry could learn from music is how to sell their content conveniently and without DRM in a digital, high quality format. I'm not interested in physical discs, yet have no option to legally buy a digital 1080p copy of [insert almost any movie here] and play it in Kodi or wherever I want. Meanwhile I've been buying at least 10 lossless albums monthly for years - so it's not aas if I'm not willing to pay for my content.
Looks promising, and support for huge files is a weak point in vim, so I gave it a try.

That doesn't seem to work, so for the moment it's not the right 80% for me. But I do think it's a worthy project, so I'll keep an eye on this

Wikipedia seems to be using a mechanism where TeX code is rendered into images, but on marking and copying into an editor becomes TeX again, wouldn't that be a sufficient solution for copying?
The one downside is that you need a 64x64 texture for each glyph, whereas using polygons, you can probably do it in much less memory. As a quick calculation, assuming you're using an 8-bit distance field, memory for one glyph is 6464 bytes, whereas if you store the points as 2D coordinates in float16 precision, it's (16+16)num_points, or one 64x64 texture occupies the same space as 128 points.
They're actually riding this "green energy" wave, since they are technically a renewable resource - wood chips and sawmill wastes (sawdust, bark, etc), even though it's a steam boiler/turbine essentially on the same design as a coal plant.

Last time I talked to someone still working there, they were making enough per-megawatt on green energy credits that they can run full-bore even if the hourly price for electricity production is negative and make a profit. Not to mention that in the past year, there have been a handful of paper mill closings in the area, so the logging contractors have been scrambling to find anybody that will take their pulpwood production, at any price, and the state government has been mulling legislation to add further subsidies to make sure they take all the wood they can, to keep everyone else in the logging, trucking and other subsidiary industries open.

TextExpander and App Rental
I have to say after the initial excitement, I'm a bit disappointed about how this is implemented. Apparently, there is no or little interaction between the Linux world and the Windows world in this system. I don't see the benefits over running a classical Linux-as-a-process like coLinux, or something like Cygwin or MinGW.

The option to run unmodified executables is nice if you have closed-source linux binaries, but they are rare, and this is directed towards developers and not deployment anyway (where this might be a useful feature).

When I heard "Linux subsystem", I was hoping for a fuller integration. Mapping Linux users to Windows users, Linux processes to Windows processes etc.. I want to do "top" in a cmd.exe window and see windows and linux processes. Or for a more useful example, I want to use bash scripts to automate windows tools, e.g. hairy VC++ builds. And I thought it would be possible to throw a dlopen in a Linux program and load Windows DLLs. Since I don't need to run unmodified Linux binaries, I don't see what this brings to me over cygwin.

I am hoping though that this might be a bit more stable (due to ubuntu packages) and faster than Cygwin, and that it might push improvements of the native Windows "console" window.
