I think the recent situation with SourceForge, where binaries were changed to add a malware-ridden installer[1] shows why GitHub is potentially worse than trusting some other provider. I think it's a low likelihood that something like that happens with GitHub ever, much less soon, and SourceForge has reversed that action already. But it is one reason to potentially trust binaries from a third party like that less.

But that's not really the thrust of the point. It's software from an unknown provenance, and yes, that's pretty standard for Windows but it's not great and it's getting worse all the time. Virus scanners are not a great solution, but not having them are worse. Without any kind of a checksum on that page, it's impossible to verify that the binary you have is the one that you should have. (Not that it's guaranteed that you can do so if there is a checksum.) So you're already in a bad situation, and you're turning off one of the few safeguards you have.

As for registry changes getting flagged by Defender... programs that change the registry aren't rare.[2] They do not universally share this problem. I imagine it's probably a false positive and I don't know how it could be avoided, but the proposed remedy is reckless.

Because you've applied a different definition of public that doesn't fit the context. Public in the context in which it was used in this thread regarding git commits simply means commits you have pushed to a repo that another developer can access even if authorization is required to access it.
I'm top comment? Jeez.

Anyways, yeah, I'd never heard of HFFP before now, and don't have the spare cash to check it out. It seems neat, though.
I haven't seen any men breastfeeding lately. Nor do fathers regularly go through post natal depression or suffer the other ailments of pregnancy. I suggest you talk to some mothers (or your own) before making such absurdly informed assertions.
Hi Stepan!
They are not distinguished by font: there is an an upper-case "X" (to mean a random variable) and a lower-case "x" to mean a sample from that radom variable. This is a very reasonable and useful case convention.

Finally there is the Greek letter Chi to mean the set over which that self-same RV varies. Chi seems deliberately chosen because it resembles "X". That might not be a good idea, but there is a defensible argument for it:

The domain Chi is a piece of mathematical machinery that is logically needed, but is not very important to the main disucssion. He wants to note it down, but also let it fade into the background. It's precesly because you want to pay too much attention to it that you are getting upset.

(I'm more worried that he seems to elide the distinction between the domain of an RV and the underlying sample-space. But then, sample-spaces are also mathematical machinery that aren't needed once the rubber hits the road.)

It wasn't user-friendly for non-tech folks. It was confusing. There were no readers that appealed to regular folks. The open-source world dropped the ball here. This is why it died.
I'm not sure about that. I'm not saying this boy's parents pushed him into this path, but by virtue of their own education (mother has a PhD, not sure about the father) they would have provided him with many opportunities for intellectual growth that other kids lacked. So I would assume Jeremy is very smart but not as exceptional as his achievements would imply.

Being smart can be isolating, either from not being able to relate to people or act normal, or people assuming you are arrogant, or developing actual arrogance, but in the scheme if things this is just one of many issues that affect people, and not necessarily that serious. The super-smart shy people I know are not too different from the average intelligence shy people I know.
Yep, but don't forget KT and DMR.
I struggle with this. Often, I find myself asking why should the primary purpose of my life be providing for the lives of others? I should spend my life living for myself to the fullest and in so doing, hopefully it enables me to provide for my family and if not, at least I have little regrets.

Of course, if I choose to have kids, then this course would alter. I would have to shoulder the responsibility of being my kids' sole provider til they are able to fend for themselves. If I'm married and have taken the vow, then I would abide by my spouse til death do us part. I would also without a doubt, see my aged old parents whom did not managed to save for retirement well into their golden years.

All that above is only when I have made the conscious effort to start a family. Otherwise, providing for one's family cannot be the motivator for starting a firm and letting all else - things pertaining to my self-interests and ambitions take a back seat don't seem logical to me at all.

I know reality is crushing. I also know I have the power to think and to change things. I will not succumb.
Parroting shouldn't be your go-to tactic. It's useful to get you out of a potentially awkward spot to save the momentum of a conversation, but if you're actually involved in the conversation you should have other things to say/ask.

:) Well, it's pretty ugly now that expressions exist, however prior to expressions it was quite nice since S expressions is all they are and I've had this for nearly a decade in .Net, long long before such niceties like expressions existed. And I'll just bolt expressions into my library when I feel like it and type this

var dogs = Dog.FindAll(each => each.Age == null && each.Id == guid);

rather than relying on an external dependency that doesn't work the way I want. The need to do this...

db.Select<Dog>

Use generics at the method level, I find intolerably ugly when you could have created db with said type and have access to an already typed API. What you're doing there, I personally consider bad design and would refuse to use. When I use a typed list... I don't go

someList.Add<Thing>(aThing)

Because the decision to type the list was done at list creation time. Forcing me to pass a type on every call to the db, less than attractive. The best uses of generics don't look like you're using generics because you only have to do this once

class Dog : Persistable<Dog> {}

To have a perfectly typed class side API that doesn't shit generics all over the client side code. The T is specified once and only once, and never seen again and now all the Select/Save/Delete/Create methods no longer require the client to constantly type <Dog> every time they touch your lib.

In all fairness however, it would be trivial to wrap your lib in a persistable template and achieve exactly the API I wanted, should I ever desire to do so. Which is actually a much better argument for using your lib than any you've given.
That definition is anything but personal and carries the history of the democratic system prevalent at the time the term was coined. Just because you decide to use the same term for everything now doesn't mean that the original definition is "personal".
But do you really want to penalize companies for opening stores in bad neighborhoods? Fewer companies competing for business means higher prices for (presumably poor) people in those neighborhoods.
No offense but you sound like perhaps not the common market
It's hard to be confused for a taxi without the livery...

In case it wasn't clear, "residency" here means residency in the district, not residency in the US.

Nor is a license required for that proof. For example, http://www.browardschools.com/Parents-Students/Parent-Studen... shows that a Notarized lease agreement and a utility bill suffice for that county.

For that matter, https://www.hcps.org/parents/proofofresidency.aspx says a driver’s license is not acceptable as proof of residency.
I lusted after a Timex Datalink so hard in the late '90s. Still being a teenager, I didn't have any data worthy of actually walking around like that (nor the money to buy one), but I was the kid who loved gadgets and that was the gadget in my mind. I'd all but forgot about it until you mentioned it, despite walking around with an Apple Watch every day for the last year.
Seems like common sense to me. If I were going to have a second career in shoplifting you'd find me in baggy pants at the self-checkout line.

ISTR studies that retention is much better from printed books than ebooks; certainly, lots of people prefer the UX independent of objective utility.

If we had better large format readers, that might change somewhat (at least, the subjective UX preference bits); I'm happy enough with ebooks for the most part, but then my freakishly large tablet (Galaxy Note 12.2) is about the minimum tolerable size reader, for me, for many tech books.

I don't know, it feels like it poisons the web of trust. There's definitively something odd going on, and IF this was a coordinated attack, would it be too much to think the adversary has managed to post with some sock puppet accounts on a couple of forums - or even hack them? Or even hack your browser - a single compromised extension like an ad blocker could search&replace the key id in any web page rendered to you. I think that if you decide to sign keys just from an hour's worth of browsing around you are damaging the reputation of your own key to be honest.
It works really well for short discussions without a lot of nesting.

Finding the new reply in a thread like this post I made the other day becomes a little tiresome: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12302154.

If you use Chrome, Hacker News Enhancement Suite includes this feature.
Then at least it is stated.
It really is annoying. It allows for a very brief and mostly superficial conversation on whatever happens to be on the front page in the last few hours, and then it's done. That's no way to have a legitimate, in depth discussion. And the result is definitely a stunting of the quality of the conversation in the name of... I'm not sure, forestalling flame wars, keeping people interested by keeping the front page churning, I don't know.
Always entertaining when public discussions emerge like this especially with the text-speak.
Absolutely not.

You have a protest that goes for 10 hours how do you get a team with equipment directly above it for the entire time?

It seems perfect, absolutely perfect in fact.

Now, you could do a complex argument that hiring multiple teams of people and multiple sets of equipment on helicopters is cheaper and be right, but that's not 'ridiculous'
A quick Google finds numbers from 250-280, with record reflexes as low as 110ms. I've done less than 180ms on a "hit the button after the light goes on" game at a science museum (hardware designed for it, so no built-in latency).

300ms is a good lower limit, though, if you take into account complex video processing and standard brain activity when browsing; when hitting a button when you're browsing, your brain isn't wound up and ready to react as quickly as possible. Getting that extra fast reaction really requires short circuiting some of the mental processing you'd normally do. I'm pretty sure I'm remembering 300ms from the cognitive science/UI classes I took in college.

And don't forget the hardware lag in your own body. ;) The signal to click the button takes ~10ms to get from your brain to your fingers. When you think about things like sports where the accuracy of, say, releasing a ball when throwing it, needs to be in the 0.1ms range to hit your target, but your brain is actually giving the command 10ms before the ideal release time... Makes my brain hurt just contemplating how it works.

Pro tip: Don't think about this while trying to throw a ball accurately.

The only reason oil is so cheap right now despite much higher consumption than in 2007 is that Saudi Arabia specifically decided to massively increase production, breaking OPEC. They did this because they see the writing on the wall. Better that they get all the remaining money to be made from oil and cut out entirely the people who extract oil less cheaply from shale and other sources.
The evidence from postiive psychology is clear that pursuing a goal greater than yourself (that is, trying to help others) is associated with higher levels of happiness and fulfillment, so it's sensible to follow that path even if you are purely selfish: https://80000hours.org/career-guide/job-satisfaction

A rock to the head is easy to detect and prevent. There are witnesses. Pacemakers require people to get closer. An increase in computers has lead to an increase in hacks, following that logic, an increase in hackable vehicles will lead to an increase in vehicles being hacked.
When people race to make something happen and omit security, it puts users at risk.
Information: the part of my argument you quoted has to do with user intervention, such as when another vehicle comes out of nowhere and the system doesn't know how to respond.
GRiD's office in Mountain View used to be right across Garcia Ave from Sun Building 1, with big three dimensional sculptured letters of their logo in front. I wondered if that was where Sun got the idea of naming NeWS in the same lower-case-vowel style. According to Wikipedia: The lowercase "i" was a note of thanks to Intel for helping in the early days.

Well, the original complaint I responded to was "they shouldn't be taxed twice on the same money", and I pointed out they're not being taxed twice on the same money.

Meanwhile, if Apple wants to bring this money into the US, well, they can do what the US tells them to do when it comes to taxes. Apple has benefited enormously from services and infrastructure paid for by everyone else's taxes, and shouldn't get to leech off that without having to play by the same rules (and I say this as someone who pays a higher percentage of my own income in tax than Apple would even if it repatriated all its profits).

I don't disagree. I didn't mean RSS was user-friendly in the UX sense, although the poor UX of RSS readers in general was also indirectly a result the lack of interest from profit-driven companies, but rather in the sense that it offered users freedom from lock-in and the ability to aggregate content they're interested in and decouple it from the often ad-ridden platforms it was served on.
I have had the same experience, especially with broken mythtv updates (specifically the mythtv web interface), and also sound.

Plus for some reason every time I update I have to manually edit the grub file to boot the correct kernel and run the nvidia installer. I think it's because I'm still on an older version of grub or something.

I'm still much happier running ubuntu on my server/htpc than Windows. I'd be ecstatic to use ubuntu exclusively if I didn't need to run Ableton Live on Windows, which I can't run in a Windows VM.
I'd like to be able to buy software conventionally. That if I buy your app, 1.0, I can assume I'll get a year or two maybe of updates as necessary, but when you have a big release, like a 2.0, I am free to use the 1.0 version, but can upgrade to 2.0 at a new cost.

Then, my app doesn't go away because I stopped paying you. And I don't get free features forever. If I use your app and I want the new things, then I can pay you again for them.
While the rationale may not be justification, some reading of the history of China (and Japan) and Western nations is very, very highly recommended.

In particular the Opium Wars period, though I'd give a good 100 years on either side of that.
You could make a shell script instead.
It turns out that councils (i.e. a city council) don't actually know where their pipes run and in particular don't know where their storm water drains are. This makes flood planning very difficult. So there's money in driving around a la streetview and finding where the drains are. One could possibly license the actual streetview images and mine them, too.

LE is not a charity. It's a business.
Contrarian view. The IPO forces oil producing states to cut production and raise prices or watch the market value global oil (For which the Saudi holdings are proxy) at discounts that will wreak havoc on sovereign and corporate balance sheets. This is a game of chicken.

Wrong approach. You want to give me a dead simple API so that I can send highly personalized postcards in one's, two's or ten's to specific customers I'm marketing to. Should be less complicated than the Stripe API and it should have hosted call to action that lets the recipient confirm they got the card so you can track and report value. What you have here has been done before many times.
I'm not an expert on this stuff, but my understanding is when lots of people sell short it's harder to do the same. It doesn't really make sense to me, since I think when you short a stock those shares get sold, so they're going somewhere.
