I agree completely with you, I would stipulate one thing. When starting a new job its reasonable to take a short term hit in the hopes of advancement (and higher wages). So its fine to have a room mate and live a less than desirable life time short term. I think the time to pull the plug though is at dumping the stock.
A "Top X" post on HN. And can there really be anything new said about qualities of clean code now that hasn't already been said many ... many times before? Given that it is a "Top X" post, I don't feel confident there will be.

I'm passing on this article.

That doesn't work with cameras integrated in laptops.
It isn't, the point is just that you need 1 dongle for this now, and you'll need 1 dongle for it with USB-C. This isn't making stuff better, but it isn't making stuff worse.

(Well, OK... it is making stuff worse, because you'll need to throw away all your old stuff and buy new stuff... oh, wait, you were thinking of keeping your old laptop? Well then, you'll need two sets of stuff! But the original point was solely about the cables and dongles.)
So if you deprive kids of 2 things (internet AND social interaction) for 8h, you can safely infer all abnormal behaviours were caused by the lack of only one of those things?

Also, as someone else mentioned, the "study" appears to be nonexistent.

Thanks for taking a look at it, I could really use your feedback to improve the documentation - definitely an area I need to improve. The anonymous function is so that it waits till all the non terminals are defined.

The iterator feature is cute, which was reason enough for me to do it. :)

Much appreciated.

Bold and incorrect assumption.
A good seller, sells to buyers emotions, a good buyers buys based on sellers reasons (sort of).

Trying to come up with a one liner, I hope you get the gist.
Seller should have good EQ and buyers should be dispassionate.
Where did you get the 1722 number from? I've never found a good source on when the process started?

But still when people are talking about the beginning of "modern manufacture of crappy commercial beers" I think it's safe to assume that they are at the very least talking about brewing after the discovery of the role of yeast in brewing and the control that that offered to the process, which is still 100 years after the quote I gave was made.
I can charge my Chromebook Pixel 2 with my LG G5 charger. It will take forever to charge fully and will drain faster than I'm using it, but it absolutely works.

This was still infinitely more useful than my SO's Macbook/iPhone combo during the hurricane that knocked out power to my city for about 5 days. (90% lost power for some amount of time while around 20% still didn't have electricity 5 days later, my SO included. I didn't cover the recovery schedule after that.) While I was able to charge my laptop completely on a mobile power bank they was relegated to their phone until we were able to find a hotel with power restored to charge it at. Again, it's not like people will just be able to carry around one cable "to rule them all" but they will have a lot more utility with just the one cable than they used to.

interesting idea. Any refs? Of course this doesn't legitimate this behaviour now
funny jokes that are made at the expense of people really don't have any place in the workplace. In comedy there is a concept that anything can be made funny. So, limiting the kinds of jokes you make still leaves you an almost infinite amount of jokes to make :)

Sure, people do have thick skins mostly, but you shouldn't rely on that. Again, it's just about being respectful of people.
They are fine and read more books and do more sports. My internet-at-home is strictly managed and they have to earn credits to use it shortly.

It says more about our society that the person who chooses to study philosophy. Making more money is valuable and not making much is looked down upon. But, how happy are we? What philosophy can do is expand your mind beyond what society has told you. Consider these questions in looking at your existence,

What can I know?
What must I do?
What is man?
What is God?

They're not to be scoffed at, waved away with a dismissive.. well how much do you make? You don't need much to live you'll find when you get into those questions in your life instead of how much more money can I make to buy stuff I don't need.
Never praise a good thing while a bad thing exists.
As someone who has lived here for three years and travels around a lot in Singapore, not speaking mandarin can be problematic, particularly at some of the hawkers - but in precisely the same way not speaking Spanish was problematic in redwood city California (near Palo Alto).

Honestly, not being able to understand/speak singlish is probably a larger barrier to fitting in than not speaking mandarin.
The blockchain is critical current & future technology, it's future is independent of Bitcoin's future.

Bitcoin is the first implementation of a blockchain system, but it's a technology, not Bitcoin.

All major log systems will be based on it; governments, banks, military, voting systems, etc.

Highly suggest reading the Wikipedia entry on Blockchain to learn more and think about how you might use it too:

I could see these devices going to $0 as the market grows. If competition heats up.

I imagine Google, Microsoft,Facebook, and Apple will offer one soon.

Top Most Inspiring Quotes from Steve Jobs – TopTenGuy.com
Did you read the whole article? Researchers mention that many of the children thought this was not a good reaction, tried this experiment again by themselves and reported that on second and third tries they fared much better. So it's just more like sudden withdrawal syndrome and they indeed adapted.

The "Scroogled" era wasn't that long ago either. Unbelievably embarrassing.

Nor the stealing of Google's search results.

I'm not ready to bless Microsoft yet.
Regarding poorly research, this paragraph from the article struck me as odd:

> The data isn't perfect, since it only relies on GitHub information available publicly — lots of businesses and project teams use GitHub in a private mode to quietly share their code. But it's still a big step forward for Microsoft.

Que? The article is regarding open source, not the use of GitHub as a source control, right? So even though the statement is true, it's not really making any sense. Am I misreading this?
Alibaba is one of the biggest IT company in China, but I can't see any respect to the engineers. These engineers who was fired just wrote some automatic scripts to simulate mouse clicking, hardly a hack...but Alibaba's HRs didn't do any research, and fired them in 2 hours. I don't think it's fair.
Are you thinking of something along the lines of `ceylon run com.example.helloworld/1.0.0`? This command downloads the module if it's not locally available from the remote repository and then runs it to print "Hello, World!".
I agree with PaulHoule. I would add two things. First the focus on and support for testing in Spring is exceptional. Second the Spring Core courses used to be excellent and done by committers themselves. AFAIK this was outsourced and I don't know how their quality is these days.

If you want to have a look at something else you may want to give Dagger 2 a shot. While I think it's a better, more idiomatic, approach to DI for Java you'll quickly become aware how limited it is compared to Spring. I built a small demo app and even for that I said to myself "gee I wish I had X from Spring" available about three times.

The RF power levels in headphones are much much smaller than in mobile phones. Also, there is no evidence that the microwave frequencies used have any association with cancer. There are certainly problems (not cancer related, mainly heating and burns) with high power RF, but no consumer product could be released that would output those levels.
which headphones you using? QC35?
Actually, this is really weird, but yeah, you can still use Silverlight. Until very recently the inTune portal still used Silverlight.

I dig what you are saying though. They had some very confused messaging about the web as a platform for a long time. They finally stopped the BS, though, and have gone whole hog on the web.

I have 4 kids. The more I let them use the Internet the less they interact with each other and when they do interact it usually is in a poor way. The less Internet I let them use, the more they interact together, use their imaginations when playing and there are way less fights and bickering.

I was a teenager 20 years ago, and I'm not so sure about that. My brother was an actual child then.

The equivelent would have been to take away all social contact, plus television and video games and some freedom of movement to see folks for 8 hours. It wasn't like I generally had 8 hours to myself back then - between school and homework and chores and church (parents insisted) and the few friends and outings I did have, I simply didn't have that. And then, suddenly, some person doing an experiment wants to isolate me for 8 hours? I'd have been horribly bored as well.
The 3.5mm port on the MacBook Pro is not just for headphones.

It doubles as an S/PDIF connector for outputting digital optical audio, so can be used to feed external DACs or other audio equipment with lossless audio.

I don't want to have to carry around a bag full of adapters for my laptop to be useful, just for the sake of making the machine a couple of millimetres thinner.

>> "Assuming the appliance remains secure"

Makes me wonder what mathematics would prove this, or if it's assumed to be out of scope, and if so, what else is out of scope too.
Author here. The PCOMMIT encoding you mention produces an undefined opcode fault on all existing CPUs (written as #UD in the specs). Since no CPU has shipped supporting PCOMMIT, this gives us high confidence that no code containing PCOMMIT is currently in-use or it would be producing #UD faults. Since the need for PCOMMIT has gone away, that fact allowed us to remove the instruction before it created legacy code we'd be signed up to support forever.

I love your examples of other removals -- didn't know about those.
>At which point it's already too late - the hacker has had access to your camera for some period of time, until you notice the light.

Yeah for like 10 seconds. Who cares? The problem with webcams is they can spy on you for days and weeks on end, and record your sensitive conversations.
It needs to be inversely proportional to the demand for rental properties somehow. If there is an oversupply in 20 years time then the tax doesn't make sense any more.
Exactly. It's "Oh, you don't like all the tooling, let's hide it all so when something breaks you have no idea where to look! HA! Isn't this FUN!"

Let’s have a look  the journey of iOS
At the Apple event that took place on September 7, the public release of iOS 10 was announced. The iOS has come a long way from 2007 when it was first launched. Throughout the evolution of Apple’s indigenous mobile operating system, it has always tried to push the envelope and introduce unprecedented features to mesmerize users. Let’s have a look at the journey of iOS, from its launch to the latest iOS 10.
I guess having a topographical map helps too.
Ethical vulnerability disclosure
In a mobile application (sort of ebay) with 10 000+ download on Google Play I found some vulnerabilities that allowed me to find sensitive information about the buyers and their purchase. I was also able to find a vulnerability that allowed me to find seller information, every sale that they made and manipulate their items.
I have contacted them by email and telling them that they have vulnerabilities and what was possible if someone exploited them.
They have not replied yet.
If they reply to my email is it ok if i ask for money to disclose the other information?
If they do not reply should I make this info public?
P.S. I do not want to make such info public.

It supports HTTP/2, but doesn't support HTTPS. Therefore it supports HTTP/2 in a mostly unusable form, because browser vendors (for good reasons) decided to support HTTP/2 only over HTTPS.
If I said "a handful of breweries" to you, how many would you take that to mean? Words like these can skew meaning greatly, and are inaccurate. I'm criticising because it wouldn't take much effort to indicate with more skill exactly what the state of things is. It's a careless use of words, in my opinion, which I don't expect from a writer of a factual news article. I'd be ok with it in casual usage.

It's also a shame that you and the other poster are focussing on this rather than the fact that the statement is plainly wrong. There are clearly more than a 'few' veggie-friendly brewers.
If written by someone else, clean code is: all and only the code that I personally won't have to maintain :-)
Ouch -- accused of marketing speak. That one stings.

I had been using the term "power-fail safe domain" to talk about the line a store crosses where it is then persistent in the face of power failures. But that led people to think power failure was the only event considered so we started saying "persistence domain." I'm certainly open to suggestions on terminology.

Most people on HN only speak English, and only read US news sources. Thus there's a natural bias away from EU or Asian sources, and towards US sources.
This used to be my position as a committed (or idealistic, young) libertarian, but, following the principle that you should be able to do anything so long as it does not infringe another individual's rights:

- there is such a thing as the commons;

- there is a cost to the government to protect your rights which is much higher for land than "virtual" assets and the cost to investors ought to reflect it.

Commons: I like that Singapore, for example, is taxing drivers around $90,000 per 10 years for the privilege of riding a car. The air is much cleaner and streets freer of traffic. Both of these were damaged by too many car owners. Similarly, the supply of land is limited whilst population can grow ad infinitum, creating ever upwards pressure on land prices.

Cost: in terms of individual rights, the army, police and justice defend your right to own that land free of damage, spurious lawsuits to drain your resources, land grabs by powerful men, and foreign invasion forces. This forms the basis of modern society and the implementation of your individual rights. The cost is proportional to land area but not as strongly correlated with company size in the equity case (you might have a few more problems but not proportionally to market capitalisation, and they involve court cases rather than policing, with most of the high costs - lawyers - born by private parties).

In theory, any land owners ought to be taxed, however, I make an exception for one's primary home (tax residence) considering that all citizen are naturally short housing (they need a place to live) and buying a home puts them in a housing neutral position and also has many positive effects on the commons (people are more invested in the future of their country if they own their home, less likely to move somewhere else, etc.).

Vancouver is a great example of citizen who have created ideal conditions for home ownership by participating in building a peaceful, prosperous economy which respects individual rights. Foreigners have accordingly swarmed to take advantage of the fact they were not charged for the benefits arising from ownership.

This has caused citizen - beyond the first generation of land owners - to be penalised for having built their own country up, as they end up unable to afford to live in it, burning up valuable income into paying high rents and house prices. A tax - which should offset what Canadians would pay elsewhere on productive activities, like income - is one of the best way to correct this imbalance, by charging the cost of enforcing individual rights to those who benefit from it.
Yes. They should have a switch.
The optimal strategy for investment does not naturally align with the well-being of society. Constrained by well thought out and simple legislation however, investment becomes a powerful force for progress.
If the comment comes from someone they find attractive it's charming, otherwise it's a sexual assault.
It still bothers me. I don't know whether I just don't understand the differences in culture (between theirs and mine), or whether I can't remember how I used to socialize back in my high-school days, but the reactions always seems a bit excessive.

I wonder if perhaps misdirection would change things? "You have 8 hours of this remaining" would make one very conscious of the experiment, and when it finishes.
Solid list. Having just used Angular 2 on a side project, I'd also add that I'm not the biggest fan of passing properties between components. @Input and @Output don't seem particular intuitive nor necessary, but maybe I'm just used to React.

Doesn't that vary per individual?
You are taking an incredibly harsh (and coming across as almost vengeful) position on the GPL advocating a position that misses the point of the GPL.

Software that chooses a copyleft license like the GPL cares for freedom more than broad adoption of their software. I would never want you to help you create non-free software---that's antithetical to everything I stand for. Many feel that way.

You say "trace back and make arrangements with the owners of thousands"---why should you? Why would we want you to do that? Why would we have used the GPL to begin with? I would consider that to be an incredible situation! All these tiny libraries on NPM under the GPL that make it virtually impossible to develop proprietary software because of the infeasibility of working out deals with all the authors---some of which will never agree? That is freedom at its finest! That would be a huge success!

It's great that software like jQuery has had the success that it has. It shares a different philosophy. I don't call that philosophy a "cancer", even though it results in what I consider the worst possible outcome: proprietary software, and often SaaSS at that, which robs freedoms even more.

Please be respectful of others' philosophies. The GPL is the embodiment of ideals and the free software movement---it's more than a license.
