> And I’m here to tell you something: You’re not alone! There is help out there. There’s a huge community of people with the highest intentions, dedicated to freedom and Open Source software, available to help you. You just have to reach out to them. Find them. Connect with them.

A sizeable number of those people are fucking arseholes and you really shouldn't be pointing confused users towards them. At least you need to provide some training to those users about how to ask questions to reduce the risk of getting bitten. (This isn't unique to Linux.)
This is now my favorite blog.

Andrey, any plans to support Objective-C? (You are flagging things I can't get clang to warn about.)
They surely do.
I worked at a university where a lot of various research in physics, computer vision, and structural engineering was done.

Often researchers and tenured staff held on to such artifacts but eventually retired or died.

Their offices were emptied out by random staff who had no clue of the significance of their possessions and thrown out of left in a collection bin in the hallway.

I've got a few gems I rescued from such situations, so I wouldn't be surprised if this was what happened, even if not, it's worth knowing that this happens :(
That's probably good - unless all the advertising money goes to comparatively hidden ad formats as native ads or stuff like product placement.

Because if ads were not to disappear, I wouldn't know whether I'd necessarily prefer hidden formats.
Some observations:

- The ground clearance might pose a problem in a hardware store. Every time I visit a Lowes or Home Depot the floors have debris. Some aisles will have products scattered on the floor (the screws/bolts/nuts aisle specially).

- Ever try to use a touchscreen with dirty hands?

- It will probably be used more by management to keep track of inventory. This I figure is the biggest benefit. Having the robot scan the store could potentially lower the amount of personnel required to do inventory counts.

I'm excited about this. It might seem like a kiosk on wheels but could open up potential advancement/business opportunities once people get used to them. A lot of people still perceive robots as "evil".
Yep. I realized today that in my office of about 30 employees, there are about 2 windows machines, 2 devs running Linux, and the rest running MacBooks.

All of our servers are CentOS on AWS.

Email is Gmail enterprise.

We use a dozen different languages and frameworks, but no dot Net, no Visual Studio to be seen.

And most of us now collaborate with Google docs or just markdown / Confluence / Slack. The only ones using MS office are a few of the managers over the age of 50...
Its interesting that the other doctor did not volunteer this information. I did pool lifeguard training a few years ago (in the UK) and was told that as this training is at a higher level than basic first aid training I would be legally required to notify my status and presence in an emergency, and that not doing so could leave me open to prosecution. Do doctors not have any obligations such as this laid upon them?

(My lifeguard certification has expired now)

The moral issue aside, I can't even begin to fathom how their software would even work. How do you stealth install software to a random phone out in the wild? Social engineering, or purely technical?
> I mean, literally, the "bomblab", aka "Dr. Evil's Insidious Bomb, Version 1.1" is standard at every university’s computer science course, and teaches how to reverse engineer and bypass such checks in binaries.

i've read the syllabus from such a class; do you happen to know of such an activity that can be participated in by a non-student?

I would like to learn more about executable reverse engineering, and that sort of approach appeals to me.
I doubt China disagrees. Demographics are about to hit the fan over there. They fucked up with the single-kid policy. It's now canceled, but China is set to have "aging population" in coming decades. Given that their current economy is built on cheap workforce, they're in deep shit.
We need protection against governments. They are the mafia of today's world.

I'm Alex. I've been building web, desktop and mobile applications for the last 6 years. In 2015 I partially switched to data science: big data, nlp, machine learning, etc and this has become one more area I'm interested in.

I don't just do programming. Rather I solve your problem choosing the most appropriate tool and technology.

Thanks && Cheers!
I would argue it was first space flight guidance computer.

Technically nazis V1 had analog guidance computer and traveled in space. The same with all later ballistic missiles etc.

Early soviet manned space flights (Vostok, Voschod) were fully automated, in case pilot passes out. Americans did not had that until Apollo.

There was even 'password' login :-) [wiki, Vostok 1]

> The entire mission would be controlled by either automatic systems or by ground control. This was because medical staff and spacecraft engineers were unsure how a human might react to weightlessness, and therefore it was decided to lock the pilot's manual controls. In an unusual move, a code to unlock the controls was placed in an onboard envelope, for Gagarin's use in case of emergency.[7]:278 Prior to the flight, Kamanin and others told Gagarin the code anyway.
Until relatively recently. You could stop gif animations on a page in firefox. They removed the functionality, citing bloat, and suggested someone write an extension.

Shortly after, they integrated Pocket and Hello and broke the extension apis that would have made a gif control extension easy.

I hear this a lot, and I really don't understand it.

# apt-get install network-manager network-manager-applet
# systemctl enable network-manager
# systemctl start network-manager
$ # put "nm-applet &" into your ~/.xsession

And now you're done. I think most people would find Network-Manager's applet easier to use than if they had to configure a network in Windows 10.
I dont know about other devices, but it is possible to remotely and silently install software to android. You need your google account password for that, but I suppose they have some 0days for that..
Absolutely false. Desktop Linux is all except great. As they already highlighted in this thread there are plenty of annoyances and it is on the whole a subpar experience compared to Windows and Mac OS X.
In windows and Mac you can use the same terminal if you want, but you are not forced to use it.
There is no way for me to switch to Linux, Mac OS X gives me exactly the experience that I want, without headache.
I don't care if people don't use Mac OS X and so I'm pretty annoyed when there are people that try to push others to switch to Linux, like in this article.
Enjoy your Linux, but please don't write untrue absolutes like "Desktop Linux is great".
You compel the cellco to load it through a backdoor in the baseband processor?
MySQL compatible means that moving from MySQL to Aurora is transparent to the application, included all the MySQL (InnoDB?) peculiarities, which many regard as bugs?

This could be really important because some applications end up relying on MySQL oddities even with good willed developers.
if u only use email web and browser, or is an expert linux is great. Its bad for the intermediate user.
I think we need more blockchain application that getting down to reality. It looks like the online hackathon going to the right way.
You are not alone. You literally have to pay me to use a Microsoft Windows device and I'm not cheap.

I was such a Windows fanboy in the late 90's early 2000's when Win2k and Win XP were the platforms that were shipping.

Having lived through those days till now I'm convinced that Microsoft can never build a better user experience than Windows 2000 provided.
> The Rust developers have adopted a hybrid solution where integer overflows trap in debug builds and wrap in optimized builds.

This is not a solution. The production binaries and the test binaries run on different data. We try as programmers and release engineers to try to get the test environment to match production, but it's hard to do right, and takes constant upkeep.

Trapping should be the default, and disabled only by special user intent, which optimization flags are not.
I got €400 compensation from Ukraine International Airways under the EU regulations after simply sending them a letter requesting it, after a 30 hour delay.
Not yet. We are now experimenting with C# support and with Linux support. What's next, we do not know yet. There are two perspective areas: Objective-C and Java.
It's not the UI, the problem is that driver support for Linux is not as good as for OSX.

OSX connects to wireless networks much faster, and also occasionally Linux won't connect to a network at all while OSX does. This might not be a problem when you just use your computer at home but if you are a consultant and you're at the customer's office, you just don't want to run into those connection problems which Linux occasionally gives.

Actually I had lots of success editing graphics from command line with ImageMagick. Granted there are lots of things that you need a mouse to do but I was surprised how far I could go with just the command line.
I've been keeping an eye on this, and a thought occured. The prize money isnt as important as taking part.

Alcohol is completely irrelevant in relation to this issue. You don't not fix things just to stay superficially consistent. What you're proposing would be like refusing to fix a particular bug because there's another bug report open that is considered (for whatever reason) not as important.

I hope you do realise that most of that anti-privacy bullshit was backported to win7 too?

The news is on github, it specialises in everything git and on the git subject they can choose to shine the light wherever and it will not be out-of-place.

Maybe you could limit the criticism to the fact that it has been submitted to HN and voted onto the front page, which would be a criticism of distribution medium and of the medium consuming masses.
He did say that once, but it's not a policy statement apparently.
>Europe, unfortunately, is starting to go the same way. I think it was Switzerland that denied citizenship to a couple of teenage Muslim girls because they didn't want to swim with boys in mandatory co-ed swim class.

Behave like us, or get the hell out. Is that racist to you? Then I have bad news. You'll start to see that more and more often with time.

And, unless the elites react in time, you'll see a purge in ~30 years.
And billions of tax money going to apple and M, witch could be saved.
Why we have a lot of confusion about what Education should be?
This screams Bitcoin BitTorrent until you get to the end of the article. First thoughts would be all the lawsuits that would compound. We already have lazy people ripping and reposting Youtube videos in order to gain subscribers and make a quick buck. Imagine how much these rippers would love it if they could charge full price?

> "On the whole, as with the car and encryption, the benefits of LBRY clearly outweigh nefarious uses."

This seems to underestimate the persistence of human malice. But LBRY promises to stop that e.g. via universal black lists and other records. I don't quite see how the "decentralization" label still applies with a universal black list and banning policies. That aside, getting the general populace on-board distributed systems has always been slow-going. Just ask anyone in GNUSocial. The fact is, most people aren't interested. Youtube is easy already. Easy has won out.
Alex Shelkovnikov, corporate venturing and blockchain lead at Deloitte, and Meni Rosenfeld, founder of Cluster, a hub for disruptive technologies, will both join Lubin on the panel of judges. Each judge will have a portion of votes to award to the camps they favour.
Looks brilliant- see myself using this service in the future.

> Seems weird to me: for me Unity just cloned the UI / UX of Mac (single menu, dock, alt-tab switcher).

Unity felt a lot more like Windows 7 to me. It has the Start menu vertically on the left side, just I kept mine in Windows. It has the same keyboard shortcuts for starting pinned programs, and the dash is just a better implementation of the Windows 7 start menu's search field. Then it adds its own twist, allowing you to search menus with alt. I loved it.

I suppose the fact that the menu is at the top is like OSX, but because programs close when all windows are closed, it doesn't annoy me like it does on macs.

You're forgetting the tiny little switch that made me loose my nerves so much that I've even started to find a new virtualization platform for all my work servers and substitutes for most of the vms...

Windows defender cannot be disabled. Well, you can, but it will turn itself back on, no matter what you tell it to, and it even tells you that in settings. Like, as you don't know what you're doing, we're deciding for you. I mean, if you're going to decide what's best for me,in my machine, why bother making a setting?

Then there's all privacy checks auto enabling with each update, though at this point given what they've done with the 'upgrade experience', that was foreseeable...
Good

As much as technical solutions to security are important, there, the legal aspect should not be forgotten
> [Bignum] isn’t yet implemented widely enough, but happily there are plenty of languages such as Python that give bignums by default.

This was news to me, and when I looked it up I found out why: that's only the case in Python 3. Python 2 has a type called int that's implemented as a C long and a type called long that's a bignum [0]; Python 3 just has the latter and it's called int [1].

Took an archaeology into once and it's pretty clear they do analysis on all types of data. All artifacts are collected and meticulously tested for a variety of things, soil samples are taken and so on.

Some poorly informed ideas: Artifacts of various make and size could be placed in history and culture by neural networks. We could guess the locations of undiscovered sites.

We could also analyze cultural trends in cultural anthropology and relate cultures to each other.

Socially speaking, a prof of mine studied African American representations in media and sentiment analysis on images could have helped him sift through that data.
Alright, I'll concede the fluid point (maybe this is an argument after all ;). It is very unlikely you would find a patient on an airplane that would benefit from a relatively small amount of fluids, but would also be unable to take those fluids PO.

No idea why your posts are getting down-voted. This has been a mutually constructive discussion, in my opinion...
Not necessary. Men still do not have those rights, but society is doing just fine.
The fall of the Roman empire was due to birth control?
The zoning story is pretty much bullshit and is told by developers that want to replace the buildings with even lower density, shittier but still pricier buildings.

The Eixample district in Catalonia has one of the highest population densities in the western world without high-rises: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eixample
Its population density is higher than the one in Manhattan and probably also any parts of the other cities you listed. It didn't achieve that by ditching zoning laws.
This is why taking part could be more important than 'winning'- If I'm trying to create a peer to peer application, which after all is part of the promise of Blockchain tech, than Jaan Tallinn is a pretty important guy to be aware of your team...

You can select "no credit card" or similar when creating an Apple account. It's hidden behind a button but definitely possible.
Well, it still is. Just look at Brexit, which was largely driven by eastern immigrants "stealing jobs"

Your appeals might have more impact if you were commenting from an account that had existed for more than 11 days - so we could actually see your comments and submissions history - and if your accusations at dang didn't rely so heavily on exaggerations or falsehoods.

The people who are verifiable as having long and distinguished histories contributing to this this community [1] all seem to be appreciative and supportive of dang's work and happy with the site's evolution.

Of course they don't always agree with everything he does, but when they have an objection, they are civil, constructive, and truthful in discussing it.

For me, changing the wording doesn't change anything.
I think people are educated enough on the horrors from that time and feel compassion for the victims. No matter how it's phrased ('then' vs. 'now').

By your logic we should change all written language, the arts and every form of media from that time in order to 'feel' a connection. As if we're not able to contextualize phrasing from that era and are not emphatic enough to see how the victims suffered.
This is a fundamental distinction between true geeks who grew up hacking 6502, Z80, 68000 etc etc, and wannabes who jumped on the bandwagon later and think Javascript is "low level"...

Does anyone have insight into why this is? The US seems uniquely aggressive in the way it pursues its citizens' and corporations' international earnings.

Why is the US the only country that does this? Is it just greedy? Does it feel more entitled to taxing those things than other countries? Is there a historical or cultural reason it ended up this way?
So in other words, sued if you dont, sued if you do.
