You don't. Worst case is you had wrong assumptions and restart the program, same as if you didn't have the ability to change things.

Best case thought, it's so useful. It's also incredible for editing tunables on the fly(think videogame gameplay values, layout values for UI, etc).
It’s available in jessie-backports since 2016-07-02, see https://packages.debian.org/jessie-backports/libssl-dev

Given that jessie is stable, OpenSSL will not be updated to a newer version, only security updates will be made available.

What I’m trying to say: you’re never going to get it on jessie, unless you enable backports, at which point you’ll have it readily available.

Hope that helps
How machine learning system works

Really? That seems weirdly low, even with a lower COL taken into a account. In Southeast Michigan a new grad would expect to start somewhere around 60, and that's enough to buy a decent to huge house depending on where you end up living.
I don't think he wrote the entirety of the Jargon file, did he? Thought he only did the bits at the beginning and end of what became the New Hacker's Dictionary (portrait of j random hacker, etc.) but the original JF was something older he ended up maintaining.

Edit: never mind, just checked jargon-1 and the ethos entry either came from ESR or Guy Steele (both contributed to the rewrite afaik).

I talked to a very nice service rep about the coilwhine and he said there wasn't much point because all of them suffer from it in varying degrees and they would only do something about it if it was very audible and then only if RMA'ed within the first 2 months or so.
His suggestion was to disable the GPU power states but that sort of defeats the whole point of an ultrabook.
It's a sad issue because it really detracts from an otherwise excellent laptop.
I have not heard about that specific wifi issue though, have you updated to the latest firmware? I know there's been quite a lot of versions with various fixes.
For the majority of applications, I'd imagine there's a negligible performance difference. Besides, any app built on Electron will run infinitely faster than one which wasn't built at all since the developer didn't want to learn another language. I'm not saying Electron is suitable for everything, but I think it has its place.
Reminded me of all the hours spent debugging with dbx. Turns out, even after all the yrs, they are still quite similar.
You can call a function by name:

$foo = "file_get_contents";
$bar = "http://example.com/";
$baz = $foo($bar);

In PHP 7 this doesn't even require you to give the function name its own variable:

("file_get_contents")("http://example.com/");
Well, I suppose this is fun at a certain level, because there are assumptions, and conclusions, built upon assumptions.

I'll try to clarify my position.

The back of my Microsoft badge says something about helping everyone on the planet.

Such a mission is as much about emotional intelligence and an ability to be empathetic as it is about actual application of technology.

Let's imagine the very high IQ'd high scoring person, who grew up in a certain environment has the task of creating software for someone in a rural community they know nothing about, and they will not visit. They are very clever, and they'll come up with something.

Now, let's imagine a child who grows up in that rural community. By standard testing methods, they don't have the same level of skills as the high SAT scoring individual, so they never get hired into tech, they're never consulted about what might help the needs of their community. They are in fact intelligent, just didn't go to a very good school, nor had the various opportunities that the high scoring SAT person did, so they're out of the loop.

So, in my mind, if I have a mission to help such people, it seems the best way I could do that would be to incoroporate them into my dev team in some way. That might include providing them with additional educational opportunities they might not have otherwise had. It might be a temporary contracting or consulting role rather than full employment.

It does not mean total exclusion from the creation process, which is what occurs today based on things like a test score, or a college affiliation.

This is the argument of why diversity matters in tech. All the SAT scores, college graduation rates, and the like, are just the pieces we're moving around to justify our reasoning for remaining fairly homogenous in our hiring practices.

At this point, you don't know me, my history, ethnicity, nor accomplishments in tech. The full reveal might be enlightening.

Not necessarily. It's possible, for example, that schools may have higher expectations and better supports for immigrant children. Immigrants may have economic or family educational advantages (they were the ones privileged enough to emigrate); they may reside in ethnic enclaves or white-majority neighborhoods that do not draw police suspicion and predatory economic practices; or, like the known hiring bias toward white-sounding names, human resources people may have an unconscious bias in favor of African-sounding names over recognizably African-American ones.
> Personally as a kid I was often "sent" to these competitions but never bothered to prepare for them at all. I stupidly assumed it was a pure IQ play.

I think this is the biggest disconnect between perception and reality of intellectual competitions (debate, math, chess, whatever). In reality, they require just as much practice to succeed as any other sport.

Honestly, I think the message is completely different. Fight club was about how cynical existentialism leads to pointless disobedience and a conspiracy narrative of the world. Ultimately it was about how misguided and purposeless the disobedience was. Mr Robot isn't about cynical existentialism, its about looking in the right places and pulling of the right sheets to expose actually broken systems. Elliot's early vigilante hacking shows he isn't some broken man angry at the world, but a purposeful actor trying to make the world a better place.

You're probably right that he believes his own lies. The type of people to exclaim "I've never done anything wrong in my entire life" (as Scarcella does in the article) are usually the biggest buyers of their own bullshit.

It takes serious cognitive dissonance to be able to say something like that with a straight face.
Doesn't matter. White-board-as-IDE can throw you off so much that you can't think right about the big picture idea, especially if talking in front of people you just met in a stressful interview.

Whiteboard-as-IDE is just bad, all the time.

What?

> There are a lot of people in the middle class who live paycheck to paycheck because they manage their income poorly.

I want a citation on that, that's all. I want a statistic on how many people who live paycheck to paycheck live that way solely because they manage their income poorly.

Again, the notion that everyone could be rich if they only worked harder is asinine, and frankly pretty offensive. This comment supports that notion by equating living paycheck to paycheck with being bad at managing income. I want statistics, I'm tired of that opinion.
Could this, say, automate the conversion of a folder of Word docs to Pages format? Because I've just tried to do this with AppleScript, and cannot, for the life of me, find the right incantation to get Pages to save the open doc.
I see your general point, and I respect it.

At the same time: in politics we occasionally do find there are truly bad actors; -- who don't just hold views we disagree with, or find distasteful; but who are basically out to push buttons and sow chaos (either with some greater goal in mind, or with chaos, and/or simple ego gratification in itself as the ultimate goal). And when this happens -- as it seems to be happening in the current U.S. election cycle -- it isn't uncivil (or even impolitic) to point this out.

It's simply a matter of stating the obvious -- and calling a spade a spade.
Well... Angular Material is a multi-person project that is (seemingly) backed by Google, but they are abandoning 1.x release (1.0 was just released last October) to make the 2.x release Angular 2.x-only even though Angular 2.x isn't really ready for prime time (at least in my opinion). They also made promises last fall about how it would be "supported for a long time to come."

So, let's say that more people and a company don't necessarily equate to better, longer-lasting support.
It depends on the medium. On the desktop it's not a huge deal - I just hit the home button and I'm back to the top.

If we're talking about mobile, I agree with you partially. In fact, there is a whole lot of improvements to be made for mobile devices, not just scrolling. The recent addition of undoing your vote is a direct result of not having a mobile interface at all, since the arrows are too small to finger. So, instead of creating a mobile version of the site, they "patched" the UX problem.

And so a sticky header would only patch the UX problem - the problem being a complete lack of mobile design. It baffles me why a site that is the source of bleeding edge technology news for many of us can't design a mobile site.

> The population of Silicon valley is just shy of 8% black. The national number is about 18%. Silicon valley is an unusally white area [...]

Unless you are counting Asians as "white", that is not correct. The nation as a whole is between 63% and 77% white (depending on whether or not "hispanic" and "white" are considered disjoint). In Silicon Valley, whites are only about 35%, and are not even the largest racial/ethnic group, having been surpassed by Asians.
I'm curious why you hated the fact that it was in JavaScript? Was it because it ran in the browser? Because this one probably can, but it runs natively by default as far as I can tell.

Who's saying that?

And Google does it because of incompetence, not because of a condition they have no control over. That's the main difference

I'm not implying Google does it because they suffer from autism, and maybe there's a better adjective to describe what they do.

We do have a problem because Facebook and Gmail are huge, and because people are starting to assume the convenience and size of them somehow means Facebook and Gmail should be considered public services and regulated as such.

While I see the same problem you do- that we're all at risk of losing the correspondence and history that we care about, man do I think your reaction is super weird.

Facebook and Gmail are private web sites, and always have been. You are mistaking them for public services, when they are not and never were public services. Your mistake in no way means that laws should change or that Facebook should be required to archive and provide you access in perpetuity. You made a choice, and if you realize now that your choice comes with implications you don't like, you should start correcting that choice yourself. You should collect and gather your digital assets out from Facebook and Gmail, and archive them yourself.

Facebook is not the post office. If you want the post office, use the post office. The post office services cost you money, and Facebook's don't. The post office does not archive your correspondence at all, while Facebook does. The post office delivers physical goods, while Facebook only delivers digital goods. I am just not seeing any reasonable way to conclude that you can treat Facebook like the post office in order to suggest that Facebook be required to provide you what you wish for.

Your language is so strange to me - "That shouldn't give them unilateral rights to my stuff". You gave them your stuff. If you don't want them to have it, don't give it to them.

I'm completely lost as to how the laws are unfairly balanced in this situation. I'm normally in favor of all kinds of regulation, but this just seems unreasonable to me to suggest that we should have laws that require Facebook to provide you with permanent archive access. Do you want to pay for that archive access, or are you demanding that the government ensure that Facebook has to pay for it forever? The post office isn't required to keep archives for you, how how does your analogy work here?
There's a world of difference between being a skilled solver of problems, and being a skilled extemporaneous presenter of your problem-solving process on the fly. Most people are not good extemporaneous speakers, and the reason they're fumbling is not because they're incapable of solving the problem, but because they're juggling the following things:

* Presenting the solution.
* Determining the solution.
* Presenting themselves.

It's not really an accurate measure of how well they work day-to-day, because none of us show up to work and are given 15 minutes to present a solution to a problem we've not studied in years.

You're basically testing peoples' ability to improvise a solution while discussing it with two or three strangers. It's not surprising that there's a high failure rate in that.

I don't remember. Oh, it was this: http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.mail.imap.offlineimap.genera...

But what that doesn't show is that they then changed it back, and forth... for a while. It was just a UX issue that only affected computer literate people. THE BEST KIND. :(

I remember when some combination of Gmail features* enabled me to upload my old mbox with years of personal email into my GAFYD account... emails from before Gmail publicly existed. And now I could SEARCH them! The future was bright.

I certainly felt confident that I would be a gmail user for life. I certainly didn't consider the possibility that they'd one day just deny my access to the whole thing because I spoke ill of them in a HN comment. ;)

* access external pop3 account and auto-rewrite message headers so messages would be associated with my gmail address even though they were originally delivered to a different domain... Brilliant.
Google doesn't need a legal cause. It is their service, so they only need a cause defined in their own terms of service.
No, but there's certainly a positive correlation

Google keeps per user costs low by trying to avoid all tech support. Sending an email like that invites the user to try to start a conversation.

Google really should have an option to freeze the account while allowing the user to download their content, but it seems that they don't.
This makes me want to re-implemented "commando" from AUX/MPW (I've never understood why this idea didn't take off).

If you don't know, when you typed an ellipsis after a command in AUX or MPW a dialog box would be displayed showing the most popular toggles and options for the command (and allowing graphical file-picking). When you clicked "ok" it would type the command for you, so it made the command line both easier to use and easier to learn.

(I just downloaded and tried it out and lost my enthusiasm. There's no attempt to provide a proper GUI.)

I'm 5'8 and male. Height tends to correlate to success and salary. Should I receive special treatment because of my disadvantage? Perhaps a certain ratio of company board members should be required to be under a certain height threshold.

I've also been bald since I was 18, a trait I have no control over, but which likely led to some lost opportunities (with the opposite sex at least). Do I deserve something special for that?

Don't use GET for APIs
I have an Web API developed using the http methods as they were intended[0] by the authors. Now I need to enhance the GET based API calls with support for batch requests. It turns out that there is no standard method to encode more than name -> value pairs in the query string. Everything is framework, language specific. So if you need more(e.g. an array or a nested data structure) than name value pairs you better avoid GET. I hope this helps anyone who starts a new Web API project.
