It’s a shitty joke. Just move on. It shouldn’t be the company’s business to legislate whether jokes are in good taste. If just one person is uncomfortable on that team, they should just be put on another team, no questions asked. An entire team shouldn’t have to adjust their speech for just one uncomfortable person, especially when just one slip-up prompts that incident being shared company-wide in a massive and petty shaming attempt.

Agreed - I have access to Visual Studio at work, but for some projects I've lately been using VSCode. It's super fast and has most of the features I need. Visual Studio is of course more fully featured, but I don't always need everything it has, and god it is SLOW!

I would disagree and say philosophers study philosophy and I use study in a loose sense meaning "look into". I dont think you can read your way or study your way into philosophy. To me that is studying someone elses work not philosophy.

Oddly enough I find aristotle a bore, he was too myopic and clinical when philosophy is no such thing. He was firmly rooted in the shadow cast on the wall and not what was casting the shadow for my taste.

I would fall in the same camp as you and be annoyed by the "philosophers" that dont study anything else and proceed talk about it. I find most "philosophers" to not even be philosophers, they just like to be considered so.
Most of the criticism i have regarding the humanities and philosophy in particular does not apply to the american situation as people there pay for their own education.

if a private individual wants to spend some time developing as a human being, reading classic texts, admiring thinkers of past ages and polishing his rhetoric and is willing to pay. then i say that's a good choice and power to him.

if a government pays for someone to train in something which serves no economic purpose, then the government is wasting its money.

i do like philosophy. i love a good argument. i read 'philosophy magazine'. but i don't think the garbageman should have to pay for my habit.

Avoiding funny jokes because they might offend someone won’t teach people anything. It’ll just make them feel like they have to suppress what they actually want to say.

The reason against USB was always latency. Firewire was doing better in that regard but optical was hard to beat. Not sure if that has changed since.
>If there is a malfunction with the LED, then the camera should also not work.

Many would argue that this is the more flawed design.
It's because the AT's DAC/amp that I use doesn't have usb support but I do have a USB DAC and it's proven more flaky. The advantage of an optical connection is that it doesn't need drivers and so you only need to rely on the constructor being good with hardware and not on them being good on the software side of things (which most Japanese company cannot do).

In this case, I use a DAC combined with the Amp but honesty while I see the difference that an Amp brings, I don't see the difference of using a different DAC than apple's DAC (I've tried doing blind tests). So, I could see myself just using an headphone amp without using a DAC..
I'd love to hear the experiences and opinions of anyone who knows about building iOS and Android apps with NativeScript and Angular 2 [1], or who has used NativeScript [2] itself, please.

NativeScript has a JavaScript<=>Java bridge on Android, and a JavaScript<=>Objective C bridge on iOS, like a cross platform version of Apple's ObjC bridge used in OS/X JavaScript for Automation [3] [4] [5] (but AFAIK Apple's ObjC bridge is apparently not available for developers to use as a framework, nor on iOS, nor of course on Android).

Unlike React Native's JavaScript engine, it runs in the UI thread, using V8 on Android and JavaScriptCore on iOS, and you can call all the platform specific APIs directly, subclass and implement Java classes and Objective C classes and protocols, call methods and functions, and pass objects back and forth, write your own plugins in TypeScript, JavaScript, Java, Objective C, etc.

Yeah, I was pretty sure I was being a little sloppy by using the term "series" (for shame, physics prof, for shame!), but I was hoping to evoke the general sense of "if current doesn't flow through the LED for any reason, the camera can't turn on." Honestly, I'm not 100% certain offhand of a way to wire that (which is why I didn't want to be specific earlier, despite using a specific term: shoulda added some weasel words :) ). Do the LED and the camera run off of the same voltage? (If not, then parallel wiring won't work, either.)
It is! It is surprisingly difficult to come up with a grammar and a proof that it cannot be recognized by a PEG. Part of the reason is probably that PEGs and CFGs are quite different: A CFG is a set of generative rules which specify a set of strings, whereas a PEG is actually more like a recursive program.

There's an open question on Stack Exchange for anyone who feel like taking a stab at the problem: http://cstheory.stackexchange.com/questions/34792/does-peg-c...
Looks interesting, but the "low-carbon" name is as wrong as it seams.

The new material has the same amount of carbon, the difference is that the carbon comes from biomass, not from oil.

It's like proclaiming the biodiesel is "low-carbon" because it's made from plant-oil instead of petrol-oil.
I am curious if they are going to create a coin for this stuff, it looks very natural.
USB is asynchronous - need to introduce timing logic. Optical is by most marks, a cleaner interface.

I remember the first computer my family bought that had a modem. The internet was a novelty and because it tied up your phone line you had to be careful when you used it (lest you miss out on a call). No mobile phones also meant that solo activities were limited to what these scientists listed: reading, writing, drawing, etc... BUT, I had access to my friends. I could go out and play basketball, run around on the play-gym playing tag, and just walking around town.

It's no wonder that these kids had anxiety! Forced solitude is brutal.
Oh yes, that's a good point. I really hope they release something based on that.

They where not allowed to communicate with friends for 8 hours and stripped of their usual entertainment, while normally they would spend most time in school, sports clubs and with their families?

I think you could have done this experiment 20 years ago and get the same results.

What will be different nowadays is that your friends are always an your pocket. A situation where you are confronted with something emotional and unable to talk to a friend right away might be more unusual and frightening than it was 20 years ago.

Maybe kids 20 years ago could handle boredom better, but I think this study has too many flaws to judge about that.

I have been programming for 30 years. I can look at code that is 10 years old and see how much I have improved in those 10 years. 26 year old code? It was a joke. I thought I knew it all back then, but for about the last 20 years, I have been working with the realization that I know less than 10% about this field. Your statement cannot be true unless you only work in the very limited scope of CRUD apps.

It's Visual Studio Code...not core. And it's not a skin it's an actively developed fork of Atom.

no windows is not MIT. nor is system center. PowerShell is. PowerShell DSC is. Their OMI broker for Linux is. .Net is. Asp.net is. Their Python tools are. The C# language is developed on video streams with the product team and the community. F# has been open source for a long time. They contribute to Linux, Mesos, docker, Hadoop, and other projects.

I wish that my side projects were as widely used as the C# compiler.

Why don't you just admit that there really isn't anything that they could do. If they did open source Windows you would read some comments written by other people about the code and "pronounce" it the worst code ever written. I can safely say that because here's the thing...YOU'VE ALREADY WON and it's still not enough. Open Source won. They were forced by the sheer awesomeness of it and the energy that people like you brought to open source development to adopt it and push it where ever they possibly can. TAKE YES FOR AN ANSWER. Is Windows OSS yet? Not yet, but that is coming. And when it happens you will still have something negative to say about it because this isn't about anything other than your emotional ties to this Microsoft in your mind that has been your favorite boogeyman for years. Guess what? There are actual boogeymen in the world, but focusing on a software vendor keeps you from having to face that. Every computer you buy validates and enforces the defense industrial base of the west. You capitalist infidel, you. All electronics, really, but computers in particular.

You want Visual Studio to be GPL'd? I want to stop flooding the third world with cheap weapons. They need water, not a text editor. Linux doesn't make them more free and Windows doesn't make you less free. It's a stupid privileged argument. Play with your toys and try to be nice, but don't tell me that your toys are more "right" than mine. That's just fucking stupid.

I have had entirely too much coffee, and it's probably time for a new HN account anyway. Cheers.

I'm not the same person, but I'll never turn down a chance to moan about Xcode ;)

The main problems I had with it when I was using it, mainly Xcode 4/5/a bit of 6:

- super-lame extensibility support - there was basically none. You could write addins for it, but you had to use undocumented everything. To figure out the APIs, one would run classdump on Xcode's private frameworks, guess based on the method and class names, and experiment in conjunction with gdb. Then every other version, stuff would break

- inflexible window layout - yes, I know, Apple knows best, but, seriously, why do I have to have grep output share the same panel as compiler errors? And why does that panel have to be so tall and thin?

- stupid missing functionality - no M-x back-to-indentation, no M-x shell-command-on-region, no keyboard shortcut for jumping to the matching closing brace, no function for jumping to the next function, etc. (Xcode 4 shipped without even search and replace in selection! - and it took them about a year to get it back in)

- confusing rules about window layout - I used Xcode for 2 years and never figured out what was going to happen when I pressed Cmd+Shift+Y. I tried to set up a separate tab for the debugger, but it was 50-50 whether Xcode would use it. In the end I just gave up and let Xcode do what it wanted

- no memory dump window in the debugger as I recall?

- lame assembly language support - you can't step instruction by instruction using the standard keys (you have to dive into the lldb command line and do it the hard way), and the register display is shared with the locals, so you keep having to scroll (and thanks to the inflexible window layout you can't split them apart and have them separate)

- seemingly no thought put into which files are per-project (and so live in version control) and which are per-user (and so want to be gitignored or whatever). The default is for per-user build configs, which is... well, not a crazy thing to support, but it's a poor default

- when I was using it all the time, though this is going back a while now, half the time lldb never even worked properly: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5125210

I've used numerous packages over the years, and I've ended up getting used to every single one... except Xcode 4.x and later.

Xcode 3.x, after a fairly ordinary period of adjustment, I had no problem with.

(I'll give Xcode 8 a quick spin this month; I used Xcode 7 a bit a couple of months ago and it suffered from many of the same problems. But is it my job to try using stuff that was awful in the past, just on the off-chance that it might have been improved, or is it Apple's to make software that doesn't suck so much that after using it every day for 2 years I basically resolve never to use it again and indeed to this day actively turn down work just on the chance I might have to use it? There are, of course, arguments for both... but I'm going to go for the latter myself.)

There has actually been a massive amount of high rise development - its just questionable if the "type" of high rise inventory coming online is inline with the type of places people want to love. The bigger issue is a non significant number of people are buying the new construction inventory as well as pre-existing inventory and not moving in / not renting them out...
As high as 2%? That doesn't seem nearly enough to have the desired effect.

If you have an empty house, you've already decided to pay a "tax" in the form of lost potential rent, not to mention actual property taxes and maintenance, and and an extra 2% isn't going to make huge difference.

Maybe 10% would be more like it.

I mean Microsoft only has 2561 members (https://github.com/orgs/Microsoft/people) , so it isn't how many microsoft members contribute to open source.

Is it how many contributors their open source projects have? nope, FontAwesome has maybe 100 contributors to all of it's 5 projects but it's listed as having 9000+ contributors.

From what I can gather it's mostly based on the number of people that forked one of their projects (with some padding, maybe by the number of contributors to forks of the project? I have no idea)

This doesn't seem like a metric that is more meaningful then just the number of stars a repository has.

I actually find the results to be pretty optimistic. We've become a more connected society because of our technology and it feels good to communicate with other people. That's why we developed the technology in the first place; to shorten the distance between us. What's so wrong with that? We're only moving forward to a world that's even more connected, not back to the 1800's. Sure, we're dependent on things we did not make; we stand on the shoulders of giants, but that's how we move forward. We take the things passed to us, use and build on them to make a better world. It's ok to have some psychological issues when you take it all away.
