Jobs's skill in negotiating was such that there was a standing order at Sun that no contract could be finalized with Apple, While Steve Jobs physically present in the room. The objective was to allow his reality distortion field to dissipate, such that a more dispassionate assessment could be made. I'm wondering if that suggests that Steve didn't have a particularly good negotiating strategy, but simply a force of emotive presence. I guess that is actually a form of negotiating, but probably one that is difficult to teach others.
Congratulations! Are there any plans to support bootstrap from source? Currently any install requires a binary Rust compiler.

I like the way how Nim handles the bootstrap. It's always easy, and it also eases ports to other platforms significantly since everthing is coded in C.
Just because people currently don't hate the government enough to match on Washington with guns, it doesn't mean that if things get worse they won't ever do it, so the argument for keeping that as an option is still valid.

(N.B. I'm not American, and am entirely against gun ownership being a right, so I don't think the argument is a worthy one regardless)
What's your view on Graal? Is that making headway on de-fluffing and robustifying the code or does this not really tackle the issues you had in mind?
In a perfect world? Sure. In the real world? Ahahaha!

Law Enforcement (in the USA at least) has no requirement to act to prevent or interfere in an actively occurring crime. Their role, strictly speaking, is cleaning up the mess after a crime has happened. They investigate, and, ideally, capture those responsible, after the fact.

A cop has no legal requirement to help you if you are actively being attacked. Let that sink in for a minute.

This is one reason that many law-abiding citizens make the (rational) choice to conceal-carry a firearm for personal protection.

But you won't hear about that from the mass media because it's not the agenda they want to push.
Congratulations, you have almost discovered the existence of laws of nature that underlay biological processes.
I'm curious. I have not heard a single thing about Theranos's downfall outside of the comments here on HN. Since you mention "press who broke ... stories", are there any articles out there that would also make me join the "Theranos is a fraud" crowd?
Except Python 2 isn't going to be "phased out". Just support from Guido and company will end. Alternate support will continue on with fully compatible py2 implementations such as PyPy and pyston. "python" will still point to python2 on Linux distributions and Python distributions such as anaconda will still have the established, mature, fully functional python2 suite available.

I think that depends on the mindset of how you see computer languages. I like learning new languages, every time I encounter some new language, I have to try it out and get at least something basic working.

I'm pretty decent at C, C++, Python and Bash scripting, have participated in larger projects in Java, Perl, Pascal/Delphi and Ruby, and have toyed around with Rust, Haskell, Clojure, Angelscript, Crystal, Lua and probably a bunch more that I forget.

Go for me was a breeze, everything just clicked. It helps that it got a lot of it's inspiration from other languages I already knew pretty well. When started toying around with Haskell for example, this wasn't the case, it took me quite a while to get me up & running with the basics, and I still don't think I know basic Haskell. Go on the other hand was easy, and within a week I was diving into the stdlib sourcecode.

Why Europe’s largest economy resists new industrial revolution
Ending low-intensity conflict within the United States is not going to be achieved by pure force. At least not by any level of force that can be practically applied. Dominant factors will lean more towards public relations, resilience, and good OODA loops.

These are not areas at which the US Federal Government excels. Attempts to remedy such situations with overwhelming force will only serve to exacerbate them. I'll guess that the next two decades (or less) will see a phase change in the nature of US governance, even if the superficial forms remain the same.

I would argue that Java's success owes more to Maven Central that it does to anything Sun or Oracle did with the language itself.

Using Rust in an Embedded Project: A Simple Example
I don't do this kind of work (agency) but I find it strange that ongoing maintenance isn't discussed and priced into the statement of work right from the beginning.

Something like 2 days maintenance every 9 months to stay current, or 4 days every 2-3 years to go from LTS to LTS. If a customer doesn't understand why they need to be paying maintenance every x months or years, isn't that your fault for not making that clear in the beginning? Sorry if it seems like I'm picking on you, but I've seen this kind of comment quite a lot, and I've never asked the question before.
Regulations don't prevent you from inventing new things, only from inflicting them onto the whole of the society. But they didn't invent anything useful in the first place, so arguing that regulations were what stopped them is silly.
I will give it a try in the next week or so. Always good to give customers a little help with creating pages...
"Londoners" -- no apostrophe to make a plural.
Conspiracy theorists typically suffer from enormous confirmation bias, so it's far more likely that this will lead to new claims about how the code couldn't possibly have worked on a real mission. I wouldn't even be surprised if someone found a transcription error, claimed it was an error in the original code, and then accused the maintainers of a cover-up for fixing it.
When I lived in Utah, I owned some land. If you want cheap desert and sagebrush, Iron / Millard / Box Elder Counties are good options. For treed, remote, secluded parcels, check out Hamlin Valley if you have a sturdy 4x4. Cheap desert can be be had in lots of places, like Modena and Delta.

What two autopilot deaths? I thought there was only one (courtesy of a formerly certified Darwin Award nominee to boot).
This is also the standard way in the USA. Its called a switch leg.
I do think there is a segment of gun owners who see themselves as part of some loosely knit "militia". Reading posts on Facebook or comments on stories on my local newspaper's website, there definitely seems to be a belief that if the federal government (or state) goes too far, they will all ban together to "defend their rights". IMHO, even things like "pry my gun from my cold dead hands" plays into this idea.

I agree with you that they have lost that battle. I don't think this is something that, on average, they realize or acknowledge or maybe even understand.
Drip Is Joining Forces with Leadpages
Thanks. Some great keywords to investigate. I'm namely interested in two areas at the moment:
- invoices (I guess NER would be partially an Option)
- web scrapping (wrapper induction)
If the implementation records the state of your program at each time interval as "the values stored at particular memory locations", it's much simpler to put those values back at those locations than it would be to recognize the memory map and decompose the state in order to play it back at the arbitrarily established offsets used with ASLR.

As a practical matter, ASLR should have little if any impact to nearly all programs design, so disabling it at development/debug time should not come at a big cost.

BTW this post states "There is no fundamental reason for [ASLR] restriction, but it is some work to fix."

EDIT: I see, your focus is specifically on recording. Disregard this comment, good point.
Another little known historical fact.

"Only" 300.000 black people have been brought to US as slaves. Less than 5% of American families owned slaves.

Also to put things into perspective - between 1MM and 1.3MM white Europeans have been enslaved by Arabs.

What has been done to Native Americans is horrible. Slavery is horrible.

But I have no idea what any of that has to do with the fact that United States is really a one-of the kind country in the world.

I think that Americans should take a long hard look at all the problems on their plate, but they should really stop falling for snake oil peddlers who are selling Identity Politics and trying to benefit from pitting communities against each other.
> I assume that police officers don't go into an encounter intending to shoot someone so it's important to get at the root cause.

I don't.

Most of the cops I know were bullies in high school. They enjoy violence and commanding physical authority over other people. The ability to carry and potentially use a gun is a big draw of the profession for them.

Police violence won't be fixed until we stop giving thugs a badge and gun.
Creating a game with JavaScript
So there's gonna be arguments both ways whether or not this console command should ask for a password or not since the user is already logged in.

The main concern I have is the inconsistency that this command does not request a password while the keychain access app, as far as I know, does request one.

Apple has been aware about their security behavior here at any rate.
Great! I'm definitely keen to receive any suggestions or feedback you have (hi@gettailor.com or the community forum at support.gettailor.com) and the project's up on GitHub too if you want to get involved (https://github.com/andrew-worsfold/tailor).
actually this is my question as well - what theme engine does this support ? or is this your own theme engine ?

seems to me you would ordinarily have a "supported theme engines" list.
I assume that complete non-elasticity of something would violate the (presumed) light speed limit on causality.
Realistically, Java EE "fell" a long time ago, once people realized you could use Spring or Guice or other frameworks to help organize your code without relying on terribly designed APIs from Sun/Oracle for simple things like "I want to handle a http request".
> do you know of an event where autopilot deliberately chose to drive into a tree and killed the passengers?

There are videos of the Autopilot feature attempting to swerve into oncoming traffic. It does have the potential to kill people, it likely will in wide usage just by raw statistics, and it's likely to eventually fall under regulation of some sort. That doesn't mean it's necessarily a bad feature, but pushing self-driving car functionality as a "beta" to the public is, by at least some definitions and to some extent, "Elon Musk playing with people's lives".
I'm reminded of a Woody Allen movie (which I can't remember the name of). It had the 4-5 subplots/different characters, the one being a random man from nowhere who suddenly (and for no real reason) becomes a giant celebrity. Everyone suddenly wants to know his opinions on everything (and/or to get to know him much much better).

That continues until after a while they pick someone else, and he just goes back to being a random nobody.

I believe he was called Mr. Pisanello (or some such); the movie also featured Penelope Cruz playing a prostitute, accidentally pretending to be a man's wife.
Do You Know What You Should Do with Your Life?
True, I didn't consider the cost of updating packages (and any associated API changes). But in my experience there are very few packages that simply don't support Python 3, and the ones that don't are just dead.
Hopefully it's just meant to be for discussing the website itself.
In the UK the vast majority (don't know the hard figure, but guessing something like 95%) of police are unarmed with the exception of maybe pepper spray or the occasional blunt stick (I think even that is less common now). Only a small minority of police in the UK are even trained in firearms, and they are meant to be the elite (physically, psychologically, and morally) with years of experience and countless hours of recurring training. UK police, in principle, try to operate via a community policing and policing by consent principle that assumes cooperation and negotiation as the norm of police work with coercive force as only a very last resort. UK police don't use the threat of force as leverage as explicitly as you are suggesting, and they very very rarely have guns.

Our police force isn't perfect, and is far from having a spotless record with minority groups, but they do represent an alternative model of policing that doesn't have to be about the threat or show of force. Police are meant to be about enabling civilian self-policing; not military occupation.

And now imagine where Java could be if the ecosystem wasn't completely fucked up by oracle. Imagine a Java with a sane, user friendly installer, an open source community supported by a big corporation, actual development, no completely insane lawsuits.

Instead, developers want to abandon the JVM platform. They actively seek new platforms and create them.

The damage is done.
Yes, and I will.

Email protocols and servers don't support many of the extra features that people use. Those things are added as extra layers by the client, like Gmail or Outlook. Email doesn't inherently have stars, to-dos, calendar invites, etc.

I'm advocating for the same thing on HN. If you want features, add them to your client (browser, app that consumes the HN API, etc.)
how does a 301 fix a person not understanding how to type a url into the address bar? plenty of people dont understand the difference between searching and directly calling a website.
It's a triumph of rhetoric over facts, something the UK has shown itself to also be adept at lately.

At this point I don't see how it can ever be solved. Even if the US banned gun sales tomorrow there would still be so many firearms out there. Best case, they can try to limit the sales of assault weapons (though there is no definition of that) and closing the insane loopholes that mean no-one needs a background check if they buy a gun at at a gun show, etc.
I'd hesitate to describe master-slave as innocuous to begin with.
> "Only" 300.000 black people have been brought to US as slaves. Less than 5% of American families owned slaves.

That's a really odd point to make. From Wikipedia:

"In South Carolina in 1720, about 65% of the population consisted of enslaved people... The number of enslaved people in the US grew rapidly, reaching 4 million by the 1860 Census."

I understand the viewpoint put forth here, but I think the big issue is making sure Java EE continues even as Oracle decides it's no longer worth the investment. I don't know how easily a group or organization (like Apache) can take charge of it given trademarks, patents, and the like.
Using Local Notifications in Your Ionic 2 Mobile App
I don't have a good link at my fingertips, but IMHO the killer features of Go are:

- super-fast compilation, so much so that you can write Go "scripts" that are compiled and run from the #! line every time you call them, faster than it takes the Python interpreter to start;

- static binaries: this eliminates an entire class of problems, such as DLL hell and OS version dependencies;

- great concurrency model, easy, powerful, and safe, based on CSP;

- implicit interface implementation, which makes it easy to integrate different libraries (I'm not sure what the academic name is for this feature, but it's taken straight from Common LISP, Haskell, etc.)

Highly recommended. Easy to learn and very comprehensive standard library.
It's also difficult to prosecute police officers for a variety of reasons. Even when prosecuted, the results are often more lenient. The story below is about Washington state, but all of the US states have problems prosecuting law enforcement.

Is your stuff backed up? Recovering from a hardware failure
people swerve all the time because coffee and phones falling out of their hands, because their "cpu" is bug-ridden and decides to show them fiction instead of reality at will. so the connotation that goes with the phrase "playing with people's lives" is completely dishonest when faced with the fact that statistically autopilot is safer than human.
No, people hate the government (or at least the police) enough to start sniping police officers at random.

I don't think the people advocating guns as a check against the government have thought for a moment what it actually looks like in practice. It looks like Dallas at the moment, only more so.
Because /r/haskell has become a place of constant flamewars. We need a clean break. A new subreddit provides a fresh start allowing to mold a new community based on better principles. Everyone who wants to be part of the new community is invited to join the new Haskell movement. Troublemaker will hopefully stay behind
As a parent, I got away with this for years. Once you insert coin though, there is no going back.
This looks really cool. Perhaps someone can explain to me why we need new languages, in the face of rich, powerful, languages/tools such as this. Is it just not-invented-here syndrome + better advertising? More forgiving to beginners? Corporate backing? Better/worse documentation/tooling?

I see new languages with features that don't seem significantly different from what already exits in languages with many years of development and optimization.

I wonder if instead of designing new languages, we should just choose ones with most of the features we want, and build out from there. It would save each team from rewriting (and debugging, hardening, optimizing) the wheel every tie.
It should support any theme engine, if my understanding of what a theme engine is is correct. Did you have an example of one?
Cops are not racist, they just have poor training. They are simply trained to shoot once they feel threatened; rather than making quick on the spot judgement on whether to shoot. The poor training removes any thought and makes it automatic. Black man + gun = shoot.

There are many videos of this, including one where a cop at a gas station asked a black man to show his license and then proceeded to shoot him because he thought he had a gun.

On the other hand shooting police officers only reinforces this kind of training. It's an explosive situation of mistrust, emotion and idiocy.

Anger is such a useless emotion.
That is simply false, corruption and amassing political power is a thing, not that most people can do anything about it. Which is an elephant in the room very few want to address, exactly because it is a hard problem to tackle.

It is interesting however, from here it seem one of the US presidential candidates is much more above the law than any leader in Europe, and no one bats an eye.

I always read about this supposed "freedom" in the US, but what does that mean actually?

I mean here you can drink alcohol in public, wear no t-shirt on the subway, still smoke in many bars, say what you want online, and there are even illegal misdemeanours like kids smoking weed in public that nobody really cares about.

Since the repo and group are a little light on details, here is a paper by the group describing some of their work [0].

As always, if you are interested in learning OCaml or Haskell, try SML instead! You can find a defense of this thought here [0] (tldr; it's a simpler language that makes it easiest to learn the foreign concepts that OCaml/Haskell/Scala employ mercilessly). Of course, if you actually want to get something done I'd recommend Haskell or Scala.

If you're interested in SML, I recommend checking out the /r/sml wiki [2]. The Stack Overflow community is very helpful and personally I hang out on #sml on Freenode.

Ignoring whether you are right or not, your statement is quite different from the one I replied to.

"People X are more likely to fear Y" is nowhere near the same assertion as "Every person X has always lived in fear of Y their whole lives".

Or do you think the two are equivalent?

False-flag conspiracy theory appears to be debunked by the latest releases from the Dallas police chief. Dialog from their hostage negotiations with the shooter (before they blew him up with a bomb disposal robot, btw...) points towards an individual who drunk a little too deeply from the more radical and violent BLM rhetoric.
