> Microsoft holding back support is the xHCI USB controller in sixth-generation Skylake and seventh-generation Kaby Lake: Windows 7 doesn't support that USB hardware, so installing the operating system from a USB stick using those chips is tricky. Intel provides xHCI drivers for Windows 7 once it's up and running.
There's a thread on the r/medicine discussion where someone asserts that some AEDs with a monitoring display can be manipulated to get at least some indication of the cardiac rhythm. I'm definitely not qualified to say if they're correct. https://www.reddit.com/r/medicine/comments/50q4fa/yes_there_...

I'd love to hear more too. It's funny, both archaeology and history are indeed highly anecdotal in many ways, but both disciplines have become well established enough by now that the anecdotes have started to become quite numerous. I.e., we probably have at least 300 to 400 scholarly monographs written about individual towns in the medieval and early modern era, and if we could scrape the data about, say, farming yields or criminal trials or what have you from all of those studies, suddenly we'd be dealing with thousands or tens of thousands of data points.
I lived in in Beijing for 9 years, just moved this month to LA to start a new job...

My tint of China is shared by other long term laowai, and many locals as well. The people most optimistic about China are Chinese that have already left...voted with their feet one way but vote with their mouth in an exact opposite way. This contradiction is pervasive in the Chinese government as well (Xi will send his daughter to Havard while decrying the unsuitability of western education). I guess many Chinese see no hypocracy in this kind of thing, but it drives us crazy.

Who cares about the US, they don't even bother fighting for the moral high ground. China feels like they really need the high ground badly and are also entitled to it (we are strong, but we are also always victims, Vietnam stop making us do bad things!). This just makes the rest of the world very annoyed.

I suggest that you travel the world, go back to China and see it for what it really is. You should also try living in different countries, like Europe. Your worldviews will broaden substantially.
There are fringe users who are compelled to purchase software by the difficulty of obtaining a cracked version. Especially for less popular software (which won't be cracked right away / at all) it's worth putting in a bit of effort to raise that bar.

I realise some users won't pay regardless, but personally I was compelled to buy Finale and am strongly considering FL Studio due to cracks being difficult to track down during my youth. (Both software are much easier to pirate today, but that wasn't the case in high school, torrenting on dial up isn't pleasant when you share the line with your parents. Plus I can afford it now, and couldn't then.)
But those are the problems and I'm looking for solutions. What could change on the HN site or in the rules for its community to fix these problems?

I'm not sure anything can be done, which is why I ask.
You're right for the most part, but there are a few exceptions for basketball which are becoming more popular.

International players can play professionally as early as 16 and then immigrate over. A few top US prospects have also gone overseas @ 18 for 6mo/1yr to bypass the NCAA restriction and start playing as early as 19.
You could also cache the openSUSE packages as well (zypper allows you to add any directory as a repo). If you _really_ wanted to do it, you could do a recursive copy of http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/leap/42.1/repo/oss... with wget and then point zypper at that directory.
Well isn't that nice that you have decided that for everyone else.

We want to stick with 7 because 8 was atrocious, and 10 doesnt offer enough improvements for the standard user to change the UI in useless ways.
@ivan_gammel, I would like to ask you some questions.

To start, I said we don't see links here at HN about renewable energy in Russia because nothing is going on. You replied that lots is, and the reason we don't see stories is because the US and UK media is biased against Russia.

But HN also publishes many links on renewable energy from scientific and technology industry sources. Are you saying that they are likewise biased?

And how did that come about, like did the Obama administration send out a letter ordering all of them to never publish any such stories, and they all agreed? and none of the writers every published a complaint about this on the internet, even anonymously?

And how did the government get them to agree, did it tell them if they didn't go along, they would get a bullet in the head from a CIA agent?

And is this ban just for the US, or is it world wide? And when the many experts who are well aware these innumerable Russian renewable energy projects you claim exist complained, what did the editors say? "I'm sorry, but I can't comment on that issue?" And how did the government keep these experts from complaining online, like on their blogs? Did they threaten them too?

For those who would like to counter outrageous comments like ivan_gammel's, note what I am doing, namely working out in some detail the practicalities of what would be needed for the claim to be true. It usually then becomes clear it makes no sense.

Now for the questions, ivan_gammel.

First, when you made your claim, did you first work out the practicalities to see if it made any sense?

Second, now that I have done that, do you see how it sounds like a wacky conspiracy theory?

Finally, do you now agree that the claim doesn't make sense, and that the real reason we see no links at HN about Russian renewable energy projects is there aren't any, or at least very few? or do you still claim there are lots of these projects, and we don't see them here because of media bias?

Oh, and one more thing. The US media claims Putin is pretty awful, and you agree. So how did it come out they got it right on that, but get it all wrong on Russian renewable energy projects?

Are there such libraries for Windows? I can't find my notes on this, and all I remember is that `strace` looked the most promising (for a non C programer).

I actually switched from Windows to Linux because of Tup—although to their credit, they have fixed the issues that I filed.

I still use Tup on Windows for production at work, and in place of `tup monitor` I use a service based on .NET's file system watcher, and just tail monitor the log.[0] The config looks like this:

<job at="%HOME%\some\project">
<watch>
<path>script/*.js</path>
<path>stylus/*</path>
<path>src/**</path>
<path>tools/**.cs</path>
</watch>
<do>tup --no-environ-check</do>
</job>

It's not foolproof, since I have to maintain that list, but it's better than the alternatives (whatever they are).

> Note: When I say blogs, I mean blogs.

I agree. The only problem is that it's in a way difficult to have a discussion with blogs. Let's say I read a great post somewhere, the person might or might not have comments on their page (embedded facebook comments are worst are ppl still not aware that not everyone uses it?). If they do have comments I probably wouldn't be able to reply (unless I'm a regular visitor of their site). If I write a longer reply and put it on my blog then there is this whole thing that if I put my link in their comments it's not as seamless. My best hope is some sort of IndieWeb solution for this but so far I haven't found anything that works any good.

My wife ( a doctor ) had to attend to a patient who had a medical episode on Singapore Airways (might have been the a Sydney to Singapore or a Singapore to London flight ). According to her, things went well, the air crew were professional and helpful, equipment was available.

There was another doctor on the flight who volunteered his help. The two doctors liased and decided that my wife's training and skills were more relevant to the situation.

My wife was thanked and given symbolic remuneration ( which she will probably never bother to cash in ). She felt valued and will probably be willing to help again if in a similar situation with Singapore Airlines.
If it were me unconscious on the floor, I'd take a pediatric neurologist that "hasn't done hearts" for 20 years over a flight attendant with 8 hours of "first aid" training.
I know why they do it, but it's really annoying when authors compare sums of money in ancient societies to today's monetary system. It's probably the laziest way I can think of to describe differences between societies. Do some real effing research, fer chrissakes.

So 35 million sesterces can be roughly equated to $15 billion in todays monetary system. So what? You might as well be comparing apples to space aliens.
An incredible anecdote about a different incident from that thread:

> I'm going to share this story passed on to me by an anesthesiologist. He was on a trip from Canada to to Europe to visit family. He doesn't enjoy flying very much, even less so without anyone he knows to keep him distracted. So he purposefully got a late flight so he could sleep through it. Before boarding he took a few sleeping pills and downed a shot. He's an anesthesiologist, please don't try this at home. He boarded the plane almost last, did up his seat belt, and went nearly straight to sleep. Somewhere over the ocean he was half awake, in a lovely daze of drugs when he heard over the PA. "If there is a doctor on board the plane can they please identify themselves to the flight crew." He thinks about it for a minute, debating what to do and hoping someone else will say something before he has to. Finally he feels like he has no choice. He hits the call button on his seat arm and shortly after, a flight attendant comes to his row. He explains he's a Doctor and he'd like to help if possible. The flight attendant looks at him and says, "Sir, we called the Doctor for you, We've been unable to wake you for the past two hours, and we had to re-seat the passenger beside you because you were drooling on them."
I haven't used Gradle directly, but I've been using Cordova for years, which switched from Ant to Gradle a while back. With Gradle, the incremental builds got way faster. It was clearly burning through up-to-date targets.

But it was still listing the up-to-date targets. Incremental builds in Tup don't even list what's not being done, because there are no "targets" in Tup. That's the whole point of Mike Shal's paper.
No reason not to pass the adoption citizenship act.
> focusing too much on the dying/not dying distinction.

Well, my point is that if they aren’t so bad, they don’t need IV fluids, and you can give them some juice with pretty much the same effect (I expect normal GI function).

> improve their comfort and reduce anxiety

The Lufthansa kit is great in that respect. Lots of Valium and Haldol to make plenty of passengers calm and happy.

> "Lots of fluid" really isn't generally the standard of care for severe hemorrhage anymore.

I know. That’s been the usual swinging pendulum through the years : give fluids, don’t give fluids, give just a little bit. I highly doubt all this matter except in a few situations in which the patients is pretty much assured to die on the plane: septic choc, severe bleeding, severe fluids loss (on flight cholera?).

Seriously, I’ve never seen an acutely sick patient who needed 500 of saline now. They either can wait till next week, or need 2L STAT. Now, the situation is completely different with the chronic/elderly patients slowly deteriorating during the course of many hours/days, and arriving in extremis, and being resuscitated with a little bolus. However, you don’t see those patients in planes because they don’t let them fly!
Similar experience, although less dramatic circumstances, on a Qatar flight.
I was asleep, when my wife awoke my and volunteered me to address the needs of a passenger passing out in the aisle of the plane. I asked for equipment to check his vitals. Bp was on the low side so I asked he remain supine with his legs slightly elevated. There was a lady sitting next to us who criticized my every move (she felt I wasn't getting an accurate pressure because he was laying down, but I was more concerned with maintaining his pressure than having it bottom out further). The passengers were upset he was laying in the aisle. Turns out the lady next to me was a physician as well, but she never volunteered this or assisted in any way. He eventually got better and I allowed him to return to his seat.
I checked on him as we landed and left the plane. Medical services came with a wheelchair to take him off. No appreciation from the crew on this, but I guess that doesn't matter at the end of the day. barring the criticism I received for how I was handling it, the situation ended well.
They were fugitives under the law at the time. Just as someone who escapes prison today is a fugitive. I think it's a useful term, reflecting the law of that time (and hopefully reminding us of our capacity to create legal oppression).

I'm sure there are fugitives today who committed "crimes" that some of us don't find objectionable at all.
If you're suggesting that discovery of a bug in a popular open source project holds the discoverer up to a moral responsibility of reporting it -- well then, maybe you are guilty too!

Meh I would have updated to 10 on my dual boot Window Linux Mint machine, but you need to have the latest updates on windows 7 to be able to even get 10, and even with the generous three days leeway I gave myself to back up, update, and roll back, I couldn't get updates working in time. I really don't see what reason there is to run windows for me, other then gaming, and even then, most of what I want to play I can get on os x or linux.
I'm pretty sure the salary differentials between football, baseball, and basketball are better attributable to the fact that football teams are an order of magnitude larger than the other two, meaning while there's more pie to go around, more people want a slice.
There's so much more I want to know. Who put it on the trash heap? Why did the FBI come looking for it years later? Embarrassment?

OTOH, back in those days, maybe there was more of a sense of pushing things forward, and less nostalgia, and maybe that was a good thing. I can't decide if I like having every speck of computer history catalogued and put in a museum. For one thing, I fear that 50 years from now, people will cling to the stories of the creators of Android or iOS or Pokemon Go, and somehow that old Nokia flip phone I have in my junk box will be a museum piece.

Nostalgia. Can't live with it, can't live without it.
This is great and all, but do status bars and terminal colorings really warrant this kind of fanfare? I love git and I'm very happy that they are constantly releasing new stuff, but I think we should draw a line somewhere on what really matters and what doesn't as far as news coverage.
What was wrong with 8? I found the UI a significant improvement, even better than 10. The only qualm I had was the removal of the power button, but that was resolved in the 8.1 update.
I just tried two pictures with VINs in them. Both of them were successfully parsed by Google Vision, but OCR.space just errored out. It was not an encouraging result.
Fuck Microsoft, I been using Windows all my life but if I could jump to any other operative system with games and software support I would do it in a heartbeat.
As an emergency physician, the first thing I would say if I ever met the doc would be 'well done' for volunteering - it's a hard thing to do. I'm also very glad that it seems the patient did ok.

However, in these kind of situations, I don't think it's in the patient's best interests to avoid diversion. The algorithm should be:
1) sick vs not sick - this person was clearly sick (when an ER docs say someone is 'sick', they usually mean there is a non-trivial probability that they could die in the next 24 hours)
2) Could a delay in critical care treatment lead to a worse outcome for the patient? If so, I would argue that you have to advise diversion to the nearest airport with the required standard of medical care.

That means that it might be ok to advise taking one hour to get to a major city, rather than taking 10 minutes to land at a rural airfield with a tiny hospital nearby - that's a judgement call. The only reason not to divert that I can think of is the cost to the airline, and passenger inconvenience: both of those looks like really bad reasons if the guys gets worse again and dies on the plane, when they might easily have been saved if they had diverted to a nearer airport + hospital.

I agree with another comment regarding the difficulty of IV's, particularly in shocked patient. Ideally, the airline kits would stock intra-osseous needles (needles with a screw that are screwed into the bone of the shin or upper arm using an electric dril). It sounds brutal,but is probably not much more painful than an IV, and takes seconds to do with training. The crew could be trained to use them as part of their first-aid training - the training takes less than an hour, and it would probably make more difference to patient outcome than having adrenaline on board would.

I totally agree about speaking to the pilot in person when you have a critically ill patient - they know (or can figure out) flight times to the various possible diversion airports, you (probably) know better what kind of care the patient needs, and the chances of finding that kind of care in a given city.

I do corporate trainings on git. Many prospective clients or vendors call me asking for "g.i.t. hub" trainings. Thankfully though, most of these are just the misinformed marketing teams. The engineering people usually grasp the difference easily when I finally reach the parts about collaboration.

I like the cameraphone/instagram analogy. Thanks! I usually do all the pushes/pulls etc. using a file:// remote so that people can see what happens and then just tell them that github is what happens with you move the remote to the cloud and give it a nice UI.
Care to explain why the comparison is so troublesome, for the ignorant?
In looking at failures, asking "What changed (was different)" in this case, is one generally useful approach...

Based on previous comments, the most likely failure scenario seems to be related to the new use of super-cooled LOX - and I have to ask, was the temperature at the pad, at the time of the launch, significantly higher than during previous launches involving super-cooled LOX? If so, is there a possibility that the higher temperature differential could have been a contributing factor in the cause of the failure?

(Kind of the exact opposite of the case of the Challenger, where low temperatures were a critical causal factor of the failure)
The concepts were fine but HORRIBLY executed.

Okay, time to turn off my PC (with keyboard/mouse). Where is that? It's not in the start menu, and finding that alone took ten minutes...

(30 minutes later) Oh. It's under settings. Because turning my device on and off is a setting, I guess? And the settings menu is in the charm bar. And you get to the charm bar by... putting your mouse in the top-right corner. And then sliding it down.

It was just so many ridiculous new hoops to jump through, each one more frustrating than the last.
I used to think so as well. Anecdotally, my company has experienced the exact opposite.

Likely rare (and requires luck) but it can be done.
I have a unix based system for work and am using a Windows 10 PC solely for gaming purposes. Win10 makes it incredibly difficult to try and trim down your Windows installation to its bare minimum, so that the disk, cpu, and network activity won't affect your gaming experience.

Then there's the forced update system, which allows you to define a time interval where it won't automatically install updates, but it can't be set to more than a 12hs window. It just feels like an OS that thinks it knows what's best for you, but it actually results in an inferior experience compared to the previous versions due to its limited configurability.

I haven't played around with the registry and internals that much since Win'95, just because it adds all this unneeded overhead without any option to remove it from within its own settings.

Don't get me wrong, it certainly works and I'm getting used to all its new features and changes, but Win10 makes it really hard to optimize it to your specific needs for seemingly unnecessary reasons, so I can understand why people want to stick to their Win7 or even Win8 installs.
