Take note that this list seems to include any book, regardless of how old it is and how bad its contents are now, 10+ years later.

Before investing time in any of these, do yourself, and the world, a favor and find the community of the language and ask them if the book you found on that list is shit.
I agree with you. I'm in Atlanta and since we aren't too far from the border of Eastern/Central time zones it can be 930 with daylight. Contrast with Maine it's definitely a benefit, I'd hate to have darkness start so early year around.
I subscribe to HBO but pirate their shows because the only player available to me is their web player and it chops, lags and has my 2015 Macbook Pros fans blaring at full speed. This on a 250 mbit connection on Chrome.

I morally justify it by still paying my subscription every month and not seeding the torrents.

Growing up in Tromsø, I find little use for it. Sun's up two months straight in summer, and two months in winter we got only a few hours of twilight. And the rest of the year the shift is obviously quite dramatic, day to day.

After growing up like that one develops a healthy understanding of our place in the universe and that a 24 hour clock is just an abstract definition - antiquated in the space age ;)

I often hear rationalizations about how x couldn't be built with graceful degradation in mind. There certainly are _some_ examples (games, for example). But GMail doesn't strike me as a particularly compelling example. GMail is also _just content_. The fancy ajax interactions, though nice, are hardly required for an email client.

Let's put it from a capitalist point of view: Piracy is the market's way of saying, “your business model is broken and you should be out of business”. Funny that the ones wailing the loudest about piracy are also the greatest capitalists. But for their greed and double standards, they should be the first ones to understand the message.

And how does the average voter get involved in "drafting bills" I suspect that there are very few of us on HN who have ever done something like that.

In representative democracies [1], they usually don't get involved at all. You delegate your rights to someone else (eg members of parliament), who then act on your behalf, so to speak.

The alternative of direct democracy [2] is much rarer.

Because so many constraints are needed (position, pose, velocity) there is no simple single answer. Here is a summary -- https://solarsystem.nasa.gov/basics/bsf13-1.php

Skip down to "Navigation Data Aquisition"
Virtualbox has so-called 'seamless' mode, in which the X11 windows from VM running on Windows host appear as separate windows in the Windows desktop. However, they only appear separate; they don't have separate panel button and they are not directly reachable via alt+tab. One needs to switch to VM first, then use keyboard shortcut set up in VM to access them.
Well if those in power can't coerce the public into doing their bidding, then they'll reason that it only makes sense for them to take away our ability to have a say in that matter

That 7 piece of plastic can destroy a 600$ phone. The risk might be a reasonable tradeoff, but you see vastly more junk at Amazon than say Best Buy.

This means Amazon is fine for brand name stuff (PS4), or low risk stuff (Travel Pillow, Book). But, for a huge range of things you really can't tell if something is low cost, or low quality.
Against the terms of service != not legal. I would argue that if you paid for the content no one in Germany could charge you with anything.
It's not as simple. Even if they decided today to provide such a service they would still have to wait for the old contracts to expire. The problem is that if let's say a polish TV station bought exclusive rights for the show in their country, the media company can't provide worldwide rights to anybody without breaking the polish contract.

Indeed you beat me to the punch. You can totally use unsafe. This just means that the compiler essential is unable to _prove_ that your code is memory safe. That does mean the author can't. Documenting unsafe points in your code gives also tells you where to look if you do start seeing memory related problems, which can be helpful for debugging.
Ethical? Maybe, maybe not.
Should we do it? Absolutely yes. As long as it's easier to pirate Game of Thrones than it is to watch it legally, I would say we have a duty to send the message to HBO et al that they need to change their business model. Nobody's going to change shit if we sit back and suffer through their horrible distribution channels and just raise our little voices in protest without actually doing anything.

My son is in a Waldorf kindergarten. He loves it, especially the silly little rituals. I think of it as a trade-off. Most of the ideas Rudolf Steiner had are harmless, at least in the way they are practiced today, but others are clearly beneficial. Either that, or they attract teachers who spend more time reflecting on what's good for the children, as opposed to how to put some specific knowledge into their heads.

I can, however, understand where your condescending attitude comes from. I used to wonder why churches and clerics were still a thing. Until someone from my family ended up in the local church council, and it sort of dawned on me, that actually, you do not need science to do a lot of things right. You can come from a down-right anti-scientific base and still be more skilled - scientifically better - at something than someone who doesn't believe in anything but quantum mechanics.

HTTPS Tops 30%: How Google Is Winning the Long War
This is a horrible idea. While I know most machines built in the last 10-15 years are all 64bit, what about all those forgotten PC's and 'appliances' that sit in closets and dutifully work away? Why should those users be forced to buy new hardware just to keep running the same workload? Sure, I know that userbase is small, but the problem is they won't upgrade. We'll just have a bunch of ancient, unpatched, Linux boxes out there waiting to become zombies.

After all that, they dropped the ball on the sensible security measure of never allowing bags to fly without their owners.
I'm genuinely surprised the kind of reaction this comment is getting. There wouldn't be a design if it wasn't for actual programming.

The vector graphics you see are mathematical models which are 'coded' in a script or a programming language and animated with the help of... again... programming.

I understand the concept of less code and more stuff, but the fact that people are saying programming is not for designing is just simply absurd. The tools on top of which you design convert everything into code.

I'm in no way saying people should stop using these tools or design should only be done through code. But knowing how to visualize things in your mind and materializing that concept through code/programming is beautiful and (in my personal) opinion makes you a better designer.
Somewhat disappointing that it's just a console app. I'd love to be able to do cross platform C# desktop development. There shock be something equivalent to WinForms/WPF on OSs other than Windows.
They have "Maximum Retail Price" printed on all products in India.

A product can be sold below this price, but not over it.

Restaurants get around this for something like mineral water by tacking on a "service charge" for opening the bottle and serving it to you in a glass.

An airport cafeteria tried to do the same but without the actual service - asked for Rs. 80 for a bottle with Rs. 20 price tag.

Some consumer went to court and the court fined the cafeteria some Rs. 10,000,000

Thanks, that's really interesting. I'm not surprised that Pascal applications are very fast - after all, it's native. My main concern is the maturity of ecosystem - tools, libraries, frameworks, everything that defines the TCO (development + distribution + maintenance) of modern application. It's good to know that something exists in this field and there are examples of live apps and it would be interesting to compare the stacks and their capabilities.
Windows 10 has a new DirectX version that is exclusive to it, and several new games are already coming out for Windows only if you have Windows 10. (The one's via the store.) I recommend reading about Xbox Play Anywhere which is coming out soon, and will be Windows 10 only.

You absolutely have a strong incentive to upgrade to Windows 10, particularly while it's still free.
This is a-historical by my memory - the entire reason Gmail became so successful was that its use of "fancy ajax interactions" made it shockingly nicer to use than any of its competitors at the time.

I think if one of your main selling points is interactivity afforded by javascript, then it is unlikely to have much return on investment to accommodate users who don't want that. But for sure people should be thinking harder about what their selling points really are - the market for "it's better because of ajax!" is probably tapped out.
Are your sure ?

My experience with fonts is the opposite; in Win 7 the letters are always tattered and manifest some color distortions around the letter edges; no matter what I do with Cleartype settings, both in browser and other programs such as Outlook. In Debian with Xfce or Gnome, the letters look much better, smoother and almost no color distortions apparent. I do not know if it is because of different font or different rendering (hinting) algorithm, but I never saw text representation on Windows be as good as on my Debian.
I am not British and I am not whining about anything.

Travelling is different from residing, studying and working. Nobody knows whether Britons will be able to live, work and study freely in Europe, including you. Letting Britain keep all the benefits without being a member state is likely not possible without seeing other countries leave the union.

Never is a long word, by the way. Before WWI most Europeans could travel across the continent without much trouble. Hop on a train in Scandinavia and get off in Belgrade a day or two later. Then came several decades of closed borders, the Iron Curtain etc.
I live in Australia, where media distribution rights have been negotiated with a small range of distributors. When someone like Netflix shows up, there's not much they can show here without infringing on someone else's exclusive rights.

Each of the distributors is then tied into exclusive deals with TV stations, streaming services, etc.

It's the "exclusive" part of the rights that stops us from having nice things.

Don't have all the answers, but last night, on the webcast, they were explaining that the spacecraft uses the stars for navigation [1].

In addition, instead of wasting valuable power for radio transmission, they send a simple tone back to Earth [2]. With that, they can determine if various events were successful (tones are sent at specific event times), also calculate the changes in speed/rotation using doppler shifts from the "tones" [3] (validating the engine fired, current spin, etc)

AWS's machines have more memory and CPUs that you would find in personal computers, with gigabit networking.

Granted, AWS does a lot of other things: split these machines into smaller VMs, allow users to bid on prices, offer higher-level services like queues and distributed storage.

If this is the greatest technical inaccuracy, they're doing pretty good.

From a user's perspective, what you [as a developer] can or cannot fix doesn't really matter. What's broken is what matters. I find that with the JS craze we've been living for a few years now, things break a lot in the same way they did back in the frameset days. Except that now it is worse in some ways; with framesets, I could link to a specific frame if I wanted. And I could navigate back and forth too, as long as I understood the mechanics behind it. Now with the JS crapps, it's no longer something I can work around as a user.
