What do you mean by "attacks on the ICs" - sabotage?
You can still teach someone Emacs in an hour and have them be able to reasonably edit text. It's just that other editors got better now, so you'll have to put in some hours to get on the same level as with the editor you're used to.
I'd expand on this and say every command line program should support GNU getopt_long() syntax, since this is the most popular syntax for command line interfaces and it saves having to guess the syntax when using a program for the first time.

One of the greatest crimes which GNU is not UNIX has committed are the --long-options, and that horrible practice stems from the fact that command line applications on GNU/Linux have poorly designed usage displays, and even worse (often non-existent) manual pages, and when there is a manual page, it lacks an EXAMPLES section, in stark contrast to UNIX systems (Solaris, HP-UX and SmartOS are exemplary).

Ease of UNIX and efficiency thereof comes from brevity, and that particularly concerns command line options: the lowest amount of typing possible is the goal.

The solution is not to invent an arbitrary and horrible convention, but to design better usage output, and to deliver high quality manual pages with lots of examples.

Treat the root cause, not the symptom.
> To a point where he almost doesn't need to fix elections (it just makes him feel a bit "safer") or manipulate the press.

He got to that position by subjugating and manipulating the media in the first place. True, he may not need to do it to win elections "now", but if he cuts the media loose he'll easily lose his popularity. Russians live and breath TV and Putin knows it.

I recently bought a Wifi Modem for my Commodore 64 that is based off the Arduinos board. OK, that sounds embarrassing when I say it, but I do value it nevertheless. It allows me to connect to some BBSes (!) where like-minded crazy people like me can hang.

I think it all has to do with the creativity and/or niche (in my case, a passionate hobby) designers like you can fill.
This "vanishingly small" number is still way, way too high. Five in a week? If there's one thing you don't want your electronics to do it's potentially kill people.

There was a rash of exploding battery cells in the 2006-2007 era where Apple even issued a recall. At the time Apple was still using off-the-shelf cells and hadn't started to make their own batteries. This affected many other vendors using the same suppliers.

Even Boeing's planes were not immune to battery problems, with the 787 famously suffering some serious issues, including fires.

Battery technology is something that's very hard to get absolutely right, to render something safe enough it won't explode. You want a lot of "sigmas" in your quality to avoid any serious defects.

I don't know what Apple does to their batteries, but the sorts of abuse they can apparently endure without catching fire is remarkable: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iy5kAY5SqEk
A good edition, but I wish there was a place for horror stories about this tech. For instance, we can't launch or than 4 or 5 containers a second on our ecs clusters.
yea exactly. 'Usually people don't fly' is valid statement grammatically but makes no sense.
Not only Apple, that was the culture in the 80 and 90's home computers, as you mention.

Which again is hardly different from UNIX culture, which doesn't matter what the hardware is capable of, as long as, it runs UNIX and given that the UNIX culture never cared for the desktop experience (Xlib and Motif really?!) that gives a clash of cultures.
Are you trying to make an analogy? Because that's not even remotely representative of the situation.

There's a comparison between InfluxDB and Elastic (albeit written by Influx themselves, so take it with a grain of salt), but it would appear there's a strong case to be made that there are better alternatives than Elastic if want to store time-series metrics.

Maybe you're right and I've been mislead. Hopefully I'm the only one. How about a different copy:

On MacOS, there's a bunch of quirks that make it harder to port. Environment variables are different enough to require duplication in scripts (DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH instead of LD_LIBRARY_PATH, unless we need DYLD_FALLBACK_LIBRARY_PATH.)

I use CMake and it's a walk in the park. I just install the dependencies using Homebrew. CMake adds all the necessary include/library flags and builds the application bundle. It's even much easier than Linux, where building a package on the next Ubuntu LTS is always a bit of a drag (updated dependencies, changed library paths, etc.).

Windows, in contrast, has been hell. Some of the dependencies of one particular project only compile with Visual Studio on Windows, not Cygwin/MingW. So, the only reasonable way to compile the application is to get VC++-compiled versions of zlib, libxml, etc. Since everything does not have canonical UNIX paths, you end up a lot of paths manually in CMake.

And then you have to deal with things such as VC's standard library not having getopt, etc.

For me, macOS is the most comfortable development environment by far. Except that they should put out a Mac Pro with replaceable GPUs again. I use CUDA a lot, so the only practical option is Linux.

Addendum:

When someone (at least) seems to know a lot about a subject area and have to dismiss Wikipedia without sources, it is just funny. Or sad.

The original claim was -- "NASA is good at doing very big and actually pretty efficient projects when you take reliability into account."

To support that weird statement, dogma1138 had to make multiple unsupported claims about the Space Shuttle. Like "unique" statements about the horrendous costs and that a NASA administrator is misrepresented about the Shuttle eating the budget (despite other quotes in the same document support that was his position).

Enough for me, I feel a bit dirty.
I honestly don't think Bernie would have had a chance at getting the kind of traction he got if the US right hadn't basically massively overplayed its hand by trying to tell a generation that grew up after the end of the cold war that Obama was a socialist.

It led to a very strong, very noticeable shift in perception where a much wider group of Americans in discussions would start asking questions about socialism instead of shooting down any mention of it with insults.

Show HN: Popular site subdomains
this is spot on

nginx is able to forward tcp streams without negotiating https or expecting http, from the docs it looks like this is for tcp streams only.
Lost access to my other HN account but didn't have much activity anyway!

The idea behind this was to get the community to all chip in with website subdomains and then have 1 huge (freely available) list. This way it'd be easy to find all the subdomains for a particular domain if you want to do penetration testing or if you're just nosey like I am - can find some interesting stuff on random subdomains.

Maybe HN can help spread the word about it!
> only response I tend to get is a smug, "Eh, just buy a Mac Book."

Of course.

Back in the day we had to buy Commodore 64, Spectrum, Spectrum +, Spectrum +2A, Spectrum +3, Atari ST, Atari Falcon, Amiga 500, Amiga 1200, PC, .... and Mac.

So those of us that enjoy a packaged experience of OS + Software + Dev Tools are more than used to it.

The culture of the hardware doesn't matter, just give me a CLI and a 2D frame buffer isn't the culture of the desktop computers.
To be clear, I have no opinion about this photo (see my other comments on this thread). * Original commenter highlights their observation that the degree to which a photo is 'flattering' is correlated with the author's desired characterization of the story subject.

I believe you're mistaken about the gravity. Position is as Re^(iv/rt), so |acceleration| is as Rv^2/r^2 -- right? For a fixed station of floor radius r, acceleration is directly proportional to distance from the center, R, so with r=1000m, a 2m astronaut will feel 99.8% of normal gravity at their head.

Assuming 5% variation from head to toe is tolerable, a 40m radius habitat would suffice, which could be rotated at 20m/s.

There has actually been research done on how humans tolerate rotational gravity (although not long term, AFAIK.) A 30% gradient at 0.5g is reportedly "disturbing". But perhaps long term one could become acclimated, just as one does at sea.

Sibling comment to mine thinks you're harsh, but I think you nailed it. I have an Arduino and a Raspberry Pi both just sitting around because I never came up with interesting things to do with them.

I also have a lot of food in the fridge and pantry that's expired or near-expiring because of the promises I made myself at the supermarket that I've totally reneged on.

So, harsh or not, I think you're dead on.

My only issue with Emacs is the out of the box experience and given its pedigree, when looking at a videos from Genera or papers from Xerox PARC, there is always this idea that it could have been so much better.

If a company is more eager to hire women, they'd probably end up hiring more average women, and the difference between men and women would go away. Also, there are still plenty of above average men. The smartest company would hire the best men and women, not hire just women, on the assumption that women are better than men, because that assumption would end up defeating itself.

Though if a company only hire people who already established themselves at other companies, and hire them blindly, only knowing their gender and nothing about their performance, I suppose hiring women would be the better bet.

My claim may have been somewhat unclear. More precisely... a photo that is intended to portray the subject's physical characteristics in a negative light has no place supporting an article about the subject's non-physical characteristics. Photos are great for adding informational content to new stories (e.g. http://cdn.abclocal.go.com/content/wabc/images/cms/1408319_1...).
It's a conundrum: I would absolutely buy a Galaxy Note 7 when it's been out a while (given that Europe is considered a second class market, this happens automatically), but I would not want to buy it as an early adopter at the moment.

However, this mindset now also extends to a potential successor, so I don't think Samsung's strategy will play out quite as they think. The successor will have to be rushed even more.
I've always wondered why youtube and twitch don't just make a platform for content creators to sign direct deals and get a cut. Seems like a no-brainer IMO.
One of the few books I kept when I left school was a reference manual called ANSI Common Lisp from Russell's CS 289. There was something special about the author's writing - not only did he clearly "get it," he was able to communicate "it" through written English. Years later when I heard about YC, I thought the name Paul Graham sounded familiar, and sure enough, same guy.
The quality of GNU documentation has absolutely nothing to do with the merits or demerits of option styles. Not sure why you conflate the two.

The GNU style makes things more explicit and readable, which is why people love it -- long options have been implemented far and wide outside of GNU.

And it has one nice feature: It lets you treat short options as concatenable (so instead of "-v -f" you can just do "-vf") without ever accidentally conflicting with long options.

It's how they enforce their monopoly. To the point of driving their market share down below mainstream.
Everything you said is very true.

I think the only way it hurts Apple is that no one runs OSX Server anywhere. I'm willing to bet Apple doesn't have data centres filled with MacPros, but instead has proprietary internal hardware for servers running OSX.

OSX is terrible to run your services on compared to any other Linux/BSD variant out there with build-in package management. Apple is not tapping into that particular market, but considering how much they make off their consumer hardware I doubt it matters.
I can't find from the docs at all whether this persists to disk.

"The point of containers is to make updateability easy".

No.

The difficulty in performing upgrades is not in upgrading the code.... that's relatively easy.

The real difficulty is making your data and the current state of your application upgradable.

This is not going to be solved by containers.

> I'm personally hesitant to call Louis Kahn's Salk Institute Brutalist. I know many define Brutalism simply as buildings with large swaths of raw concrete, which probably qualifies 95% of modernist architecture. For me, I consider concrete oppressiveness, a certain level of heaviness, to be involved in Brutalism. The Salk Institute, in contrast, has lightness and openness.

It sounds like you're saying "it can't be Brutalist, because it's good." A bit No True Scotsman, perhaps?

read_sql_query queries an actual database, this library allows you to query from the dataframes in your current locals as if they where database tables.

my_df = pd.DataFrame(...)
queried_df = pysqldf("select * from my_df where col = 1")

Looks useful :)

EDIT: Actually, looking at the code, it loads your dataframes into SQLite memory tables and uses to_sql and from_sql under the hood to query from there.

Because --long-option is way to cop out of writing a good quality usage output and a comprehensive manual page, as well as putting undue burden on the user to type more than is or should be necessary. Why do you think move is mv, list is ls, copy is cp, and remove is rm? And how long did it take to learn cp -p, ls -al, or rm -i? Ergonomy was and remains an extremely important topic in UNIX usage, and --long-option something or --long-option=something completely undermines that.

-vf usage has absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with GNU getopt; it is the core functionality of both getopt(1), getopts(1), getopt(3C), and getopts(3C).

For me "all the Unix goodness" is a proper package manager, an environment I can modify as much as I want and nowadays too an environment that doesn't have yearly big updates, but a rolling release.

My desktop has stayed exactly the same[0] for almost seven years already. My configs follow me from job to job and from computer to computer. I don't want or need changes, just an editor and a proper *nix kind of operating system and no changes ever how things look or work.

Exactly. The best-selling home IP camera on Amazon [1], from a Chinese company, has the following "features":

- Default Wifi setup is done through their phone app through the "cloud" (let me tell you how much I trust that one)

- Has a webserver listening on port 80 with default u:p admin:admin (to be fair, their instructions are clear that you should change it, but it's not a mandatory part of the setup process)

- Has an RTSP server listening on port 554

- All of this a disaster waiting to happen because of UPnP (ugh, how many home routers have this enabled...)

- Sends outbound TCP traffic to amcrestcloud.com and amcrestview.com every few seconds (cannot be disabled on the device) [2]

- Sends a continuous stream of UDP data to 52.91.189.219:8800 (cannot be disabled on the device) [2]

The only way to prevent this device from a calling a CNC server is with a hardware firewall or an isolated LAN segment (I suppose this idea isn't at all specific to this camera). I bet fewer than 0.01% of their customers do that.

Depending on the size of the investment, they may get a board seat. Many startup boards have ~7 board members including the CEO and usually a founder if those two roles aren't the same person. The board basically sets executive compensation and votes on major decisions so a bad actor would have a very hard time messing with a company. The most damage they could cause would likely be sharing the confidential strategy and financial information that they would have access to.

I get your point, and I do agree. However it isn't uncommon for free closed software to become opensource if the owner can't or doesn't want to maintain it anymore.

Or atleast, that is how I handle free software that I create. As long as I'm the only maintainer and can maintain it, I'll keep it closed source. However if I can't or don't want to maintain it anymore I'll opensource it.

Not saying this is the case here, but just trying to say free and closed source software isn't always bad. :)
