I'm not sure why you think anyone who disagrees with you hasn't done any reading on the topic. As it happens, I'm against drug prohibition on personal liberty grounds. I just don't think it's reasonable to put on social justice blinders and assume drug laws exist because teh racism.

If you spend even a little time around a junkie it's not hard to see the logic behind making addictive substances illegal. It may be a misguided impulse, but these laws are an attempt to address a real problem.
Why do you prefer it over regular Emacs? How is it better enough to make up for the much larger collection of extensions for Emacs?

The demo for me just felt like a snappier Emacs clone.
Why positive and specific feedback in the team is so important
Because TLDs mean nothing? You don't see every US service use .us either. Plus .org has certain connotations (at least in Germany): non-commercial, activism, open source, etc. It's a bit ingenious considering this is a paid service, but they were probably proud they were able to get such a premium domain name.

Also, at least to Germans .de generally implies it's primarily German language and/or limited to a German (speaking) audience.
Freedom crisps.
I wonder what exactly you mean... Borders used to change all the time, until we 1) got a little turned off by industrialized bloodshed, and 2) went nuclear. Now there's a lot of pressure on national borders as some states have become weak, and other stronger, but global politeness is preventing much of a shift in the lines.
They very clearly do not take orders from an ostensibly racist 70 year old. That's beside the point, because she wasn't giving orders; she was complaining about her neighbours on the internet, not to the cops. Lastly, it would be extremely surprising if she'd done the same thing twice, let alone ten times.

It's clear that she was in the wrong for being bitchy on social media, but how could she have predicted the outcome? In what sane world do the police seek out unfounded accusations on social media then act on them?
>In the US, alcohol was illegal.

Yes. That was why I brought it up.

Seconded - the only hiccup I have seen with FastMail in the last 3 years was a recent DDoS attack [1] (and that was minimal). If you are willing to pay a small monthly fee, I think FastMail is an excellent alternative to Google.

This is misguided. Not every poster can provide a detailed description of the person they're posting about. Maybe they didn't get a good look at the person, maybe they have a bad visual memory, or various other reasons. Requiring multiple descriptors of the person for every post would cut out a bunch of legitimate reports, and for no good reason.

Your suggestion seems to be predicated on the assumption that reducing the number of reports in general is a good thing, but there's no reason to be making that assumption. Reducing racial profiling is a good thing, but that does not imply that reducing other posts is good.
TFA's proposed solution seems illogical and inefficient.

TFA advocates for pushing the burden onto web programmers to use extra attributes to disable the insecure browser default behavior.

It's preferable to advocate for the inverse- i.e. browsers must change their behavior to be secure by default and force programmers to use extra HTML attributes to proactively and intentionally disable the secure behavior.
It doesn't address the point. US drug prohibition started in 1914, when Nixon was learning how to walk.

> Many of our current worries (ISIS, for example) are things frozen in time by the appropriately called Cold War.

The entity calling itself "The Islamic State" -- ISIS is an acronym for one English translation of its previous name for itself -- isn't "frozen in time" by the Cold War (you can certainly argue that a number of aspects of the Cold War formed important historical bases for its development, but the proximate trigger for it developing from al-Qaeda in Iraq into the Islamic State in Iraq (and then Iraq and the Levant -- or "Iraq and Syria" to much of the US news media, etc.) comes from the US invasion of occupation of Iraq, which was sort of the culmination of more than a decade of post-Cold War US-Iraq conflict and confrontation.
Would this mean that there's a lot more dark matter in the universe than we previously thought? And consequently that we may escape a terrible heat death but instead get some real action near the end?
Speaking of bygone editors, I still have (very) fond memories of using QEdit (later TSE (The Semware Editor)) in my DOS-centric early '90s larval hacking days.

Looks like they still sell it for $45 a pop, I don't think the website (http://www.semware.com) has changed much in the intervening 20 years though. :)
> The highlight of this release is that nearly all of VS is running on the new setup engine, resulting in a smaller, faster and less impactful installation. The smallest install is less than 500 MB on disk (compared to 6GB in the previous release of Visual Studio).

I use some basic features VS occasionally on a Yoga ultrabook with a smallish SSD, this is great news!

The "Open Folder" à la Sublime/VSCode, TypeScript 2.0 beta are also cool.

It may be a lisp, but I'm not having that debate in two threads at once :-). Nonetheless, this is poor design, and poor language ergonomics in actions. I think Rainer and I can agree on that much.
That's an interesting angle that I hadn't considered. I was discussing with a coworker who is into machine learning about overfitting: where the output could perfectly match the input in a flawed implementation.
If you're using Kubernetes, steps 3-7 and replaced with a single "kubectl" line, and you can even eliminate that by baking it into your Quay setup. (Why would you ever do step 1-2, though? Quay supports Github hooks.)

We've started using a self-hosted Drone [1] install (not to be confused with the hosted drone.io service, which is not good) to build containers. Unlike Quay, it doesn't launch build VMs, but rather uses Docker containers, so it's very fast. It also supports the notion of build containers, so you can do things like compile C code or run NPM without ending up with any compilers or build tools in any of your image layers; it completely removes the need for a custom "base image" shared among apps. It also lets us add the Kubernetes deploy as a final step after publishing.

I wish Twitch had an Apple TV app.

I've found that the Apple TV is the only way I "get" YouTube in the same way the kids these days do. No way am I watching videos on my laptop/desktop/iPhone/iPad while multitasking, but video on the big TV is great when sitting on the couch or on in the background.

Twitch on the Apple TV would be similar, but it appears Amazon (as with Prime Video) is refusing to release an app.
I took Journalism as an elective and fell in love. I use knowledge gained many times a day, and have much deeper insight into what I consume. I highly recommend anyone who hasn't do yourself the favor of taking a Journalism class. I felt like Neo- I could see the code of the matrix and was no longer fooled by all the fake stuff surrounding me.

edit- I could also form a deeper appreciation for the truly amazing Journalists out there. Diamonds in the rough.
> White people were not slaves

Oh please, one century in a single country does not make a history of the world. White people were slaves too, the word 'slave' itself has etymology originating from one white linguistic group (being enslaved).
>The #1 drug-addict population is alcoholics. I don't think we go after them like we do, say, the potheads or the hallucinogen enthusiasts.

We did try alcohol prohibition. Don't kid yourself - if they'd been able to make it stick politically SWAT teams would be busting down doors looking for bathtub gin.
Because of all the positive comments I decided to try the editor. For all of you evangalizing this editor, why do keybindings like "F9, Ctrl-X U" make sense for common tasks like undo?

Been using Epsilon daily since 1989. I've been disillusioned lately that it's not been updated for quite some time.
The developer is still quite responsive though, and even though I use it less than I used to, I still use it every day.
I was hoping to see a native Mac version rather than the version that depends on X.
Very interesting. I just benchmarked this (the python2.7 module only) with an internal application that walks over filesystems and found scandir.walk() to, inexplicably, be slightly slower than the os.walk().

I think part of the issue (though I've not tested this yet) is that we're stat()-ing every single file anyway so with os cache considered, it really ends up not mattering anyway.

I thought the additional cost of the extra system calls (even if they were entirely cached in memory) would add up, but, it seems like something the scandir module is doing is just less efficient in general.

Devising some much simpler and more controllable tests (but still with our exact workload) and testing more though.
A lot of repeat offenders are created when they can't have a real life after the first offense and double down on making a living out of crime. Someone who gets their first felony for possession with intent to sell might find that the least bad career option they have after prison is selling drugs. They when they get arrested the next time they have priors and they go away for longer.
Some simplifications may actually be harmful to understanding if they throw away key points or introduce logical contradictions.

For a hash table, the general "promise" is that you map a very large space of keys (e.g. all strings) to a very small space of indexes using a simple function. Common sense might tell you that this shouldn't be possible ("how can you put something big into something small?") - and of course actual hash tables solve the conundrum by acknowledging collisions and defining ways to deal with them.

But by saying "let's assume no collisions" the reader is asked to just ignore the logical contradiction instead of solving it. That can lead to frustration in the best case or to serious misconceptions in the worst case.

Of course there is nothing wrong with saying "let's ignore those points for now, I'll explain later". Also I guess it depends very much on the learning style of the reader. But bad simplification can be very annoying for some learners.

>He's just saying that the hash table is pretty useless if two random keys could access the same memory.

That is already mentioned in the document itself. Also mentioned is that a proper implementation would have to deal with collisions.

As to it being useless.. the value of content is in its explanation of simple concepts, not in some imagined production-quality requirement that people want to assume it must have.

You're right, I guess I'd just prefer if they consistently used the version number in VS product names (the IDE/Windows-only edition).. It's a boring nitpick though and for that I'm sorry - but I actually think this might hurt their pre-release marketing efforts since people unaware of VS internal version numbers probably don't realize that "Visual Studio '15'" is different from "Visual Studio 2015".
Where does it say bootstrappers can use this method?

I'd love it to be the case. My market is almost entirely based in the USA. I'm in Canada, but have no legal method to do any work in the US. So it's all remote now.
An Ode to Boring: Creating an Open and Stable Container World
Visual Studio Code has nothing to do with Visual Studio proper other than the name, the logo and the fact that both are Microsoft projects. It's a pretty good text editor, actually - it's my Go IDE, thanks to the vscode-go plugin.

I just wish they hadn't named it like that, as it's a pain to open it (and Visual Studio) on Microsoft's own OS: if I want to open either of them, I'll begin to type "visual" after pressing Start, press enter... and with a bit of luck, it will be the "Visual Studio" I wanted to open. Worse is when I'm on it, and the guess doesn't change until I begin to type "Code" after typing the first two words. Really frustrating. So Microsoft's problem with names goes beyond codenames...
See, if they just wrote v15 it would be a little clearer. Calling it "15" (in quotes! why?) is hopelessly confusing.
If you can afford the implicit ~$40-$60 pricetag, (20 for the hardware, and $20 for a cart, and $40 for a flasher (semi-optional), and $0.01 for the software itself) than lsdj is excellent, provided it's what you want. If it isn't, than go for something else.

Really important blurb from that article:

And from the proposal [0]:

"You may submit comments directly to U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) by e-mail at uscisfrcomment@dhs.gov. Please include DHS docket number USCIS-2015-0006 in the subject line of the message."

Can anyone see if this applies to bootstrappers or solo founders?

It doesn't look like it. Referring to the type of business that can have significant revenue, but doesn't need investment or even necessarily employees.
More specifically, that it can't ever be anything other than beneficial, to the extent that there's a certain degree of courage in publishing results that might suggest otherwise.
No, build it right beside SF and leave the rest of the coast alone...
That hearing involved a defendant accused of murder who demanded a new attorney for frivolous reasons. His vulgarity was not just rude--he prevented the hearing from moving forward. That wasted time and taxpayer dollars and also delayed further prosecution of the actual crime. That's a terrible example of a "victimless crime."

Also, as far as I know, the "10 year sentence" was just bluster from the judge, who promptly self-reported the exchange and recused himself from the case, not to mention was publicly admonished for it by the court.
2011-2013 surely :-)
Exactly. Practically every interesting scala lib (from scalatest to play to sbt) has internal implementation of functional patterns.
Not really. They put an eval version up which expires. They then upload a new build that pushes the expiration out. Repeat every few months.
Yes, I had not redeemed it, because, as a student, I was trying to save it up knowing I’d want to do a project where I’d require servers during summer break between 2nd and 3rd year of my undergrad degree.

The credit was invalidated 3 months before that.

With the legal 3 year validity period of promotional credit and coupons that German law guarantees, I had expected being able to do that.
The OSX deployment not being a "verified developer" shuts down anyone in an enterprise environment. That's too bad, I wanted to try it at work.

> A report this past week from investment firm Sanford C. Bernstein, titled “The Silent Road to Serfdom: Why Passive Investing Is Worse than Marxism,” warned that index funds might grow to the point at which new investments could be massively mispriced.

In which case the actively managed funds which identify the mispriced assets would start making money and attract investors again. You know there's trouble brewing in the industry when mutual funds are trying to sell investors on "it's good for the economy!"

Visual Studio Code is not really related to the core VS project. It's branded this way I think to improve consumer confidence but it's not related. It's weird to include this in the same list as the others.
The title of this HN discussion should probably be changed from [Visual Studio '15 preview 4] to [Visual Studio “15” Preview 4], which is the actual name of the article and fixes the quotes to avoid 2015 confusion.

You originally claimed that "Exoplanets are dark matter. They do not emit light, so they are dark", which goes against the cited link.

Furthermore, are you aware that you yourself are emitting infrared light right at this moment and are presumably not a swirling ball of liquid magma?
Just a reminder that if you choose a friendly/allied country - they will spy on you (a foreigner without privacy rights) and share data with "your" intelligence services (those to whom you might be more interesting). If you choose a hostile country they might spy on you and "your" intelligence services will try to hack your provider because spying on hostile countries is one of the things they do...
I don't know all of smalltalk's semantics for transient connections: However, when a smalltalk image is shut down, a snapshot of all objects in a live system are kept. I would assume that the VM signals a shutdown, and that would tell all the transient entities to close themselves.

Anyways, Lisp images don't work like that: a lisp image is a static preloaded environment. If you redefine some functions, exit lisp, and reopen the interpreter, those redefinitions won't be there.
