I've read numerous posts on support forums about Mint's UEFI support being broken. I have a friend who recently experienced it as well. I turn off UEFI and SecureBoot in my BIOS so I don't have to deal with it, though Slackware does support it if I needed to leave it on. So far Windows 10 hasn't complained about it being turned off on my gaming PC either.
While definitely great camera, I don't think it compares favorably with Sony's offering. A6000 and A7 (II) series.

Previous model of this Fujifilm camera also got raving reviews from Verge and was mocked in photography circles. The review, not the camera.
Does Mac have anything comparable to i3? Unfortunately Linux is not an option for me.

OK, but how much real money has he lost.

The problem with most apt-based distributions is I've found that a lot of packages are out of date.

Try out a pacman-based distribution some time. The idea of a rolling distro is great in my mind and most of the packages in the repo are up to date. If something is missing there is usually an AUR.

If you use zsh with oh-my-zsh then you're going to have a much easier time finding whatever you need to install. Pacman has an autocomplete written up for it.

Also, everything is near-perfectly documented in the arch wiki.
I don't get it, one doesn't need the source code to change a few credits strings and pictures. Making Paint.NET closed source is about as effective as game studios putting more and more advanced DRM mechanisms into their games.

I understand why the author is upset, but his cure is worse than the disease.
For now, no. But eventually we are considering expanding the game for a few other conferences and incorporate other neat platform features like physical web beacons. Eventually we might add a general mechanic that allows anyone to participate, but in the near term it is just meant to be a reference game for others who are interested in building apps on the web platform.
I fear that once I start a task, it will turn out it's more complex than I thought, and therefore unpleasant (the bad scenario). So it's kind of like your point #2, but indirectly.
It's not voltage alone that will harm you it's the amperage... and resistance of your skin.

You have nice table in this article:

When was the last time you tried it? I dismissed it for similar reasons when I first tried it, but then I tried it again about a year later and it was fine. Eventually I just manned up and learned how to use Gimp, though.
Yeah, absolutely. Get in touch with me privately and we can talk more about it.
I LOVE Krita BUT I would not say that Krita is NOT the same thing.

I use four graphics tools in Linux.

1) Inkscape (Vector paint program) I also use it on Windows though I have a Adobe license

2) Gimp (My go to raster image editor)

3) Krita my go to paint program and not really for raster image editing

4) Aftershot Pro - My raw image and editing tool for quick photo edits

Krita is more comparable to Corel Paint then to Photoshop or Gimp.

I find Arch with AUR offers much more than Homebrew for my needs. There are even specialized repositories for specific uses like ArchStrike for "security professionals and enthusiasts". Using a tool like pacaur makes AUR even easier to use. And PKGBUILDs are not that hard to write!
flabbergasted is very widely used in the UK, really puzzled how you could possibly not come across it if you've spent more than a few months here.
An interesting article that shows the vitriol that some feel obliged to throw at others who are successful. The takewaway from the article is that life is too short to try and reason with a troll, so ignore them and move on.
You entirely missed the point. AWS is not relevant. All the issues are coming from docker.
I up-voted this because I think the Fujifilm X series cameras need more love than they currently get.

I have an X-E2 and I love it, but I'm very curious to see if they release an X-E3 and what features of the X-T2 and X-Pro2 it will incorporate.

The whole X series is a pretty great system IMO. The designs are simple, bodies offer fully manual control, the lenses are extremely high quality, and certain models of lenses are much smaller than DSLR counterparts (18mm, 27mm, 35 f/2).

If you like classic manual cameras, especially rangefinder style ones, you'll like the X-E1/2 and the X-Pro1/2. The X-T2 however, is sort of an "SLR" format camera with the viewfinder in the center, which I'm not big on. One of the major advantages of mirrorless cameras (for me) is that you are able to put the viewfinder on the side and keep the camera's screen from smashing your nose when you shoot.

If you are into photography and haven't considered the Fujifilm offerings, I highly recommend that you do.

P.S. Fujifilm's engineers are continuously updating and refining the firmware from user feedback. With the 4.x release of the firmware for my X-E2, it add a boatload of features and really made it into the camera of my dreams. The 16MP sensor is getting a little bit dated, but that is going to happen with any camera. Plus, their X-Trans technology offers some advantages over traditional Bayer array sensors.
Interesting. So, would that count as prior art for any patents that are based on moving genetic material from one organism to another?
Stop writing bad tests. Write only the tests that you can do great
Would you rather have an internet where every website has a design like an article from Wikipedia? Google is probably in their right to highlight pages using AMP (it's their search engine) but probably unfair.

Follow these steps and you should have at least moderate success. Check out Manjaro, it's an easier to use arch-based distro.
Will have to look into it, but I don't personally have an Android device so it might be hard to check immediately. (The site uses looping videos in place of GIFs, which might be a factor.) I would recommend using another browser for now.
Hello there, I'm happy to answer.

1-I'm not using instagram's API, those limitations do not apply to Statimgram.

2-Idem before. We save (encrypted) username and password. We don't send "reminders" like hootsuite or other solutions, we post directly into IG.

If we follow your example then no one really has a true democracy yet, after all in most countries people under 18 (or 21 or whatever age they use) are not allowed to vote. This might be considered barbaric in the future.

You are confusing your ideal of democracy with what was actually a change in the way to look at government: it was a complete rejection of the monarchy and its god mandated right to rule unlike anything that came before.

And sure, everything is influenced by what came earlier, after all Thomas Paine, considered by many the intelectual father of both the French and American Revolutions was actually British. What started in 1776 was the beginning of modern democracy, and it inspired many western colonies to break from their colonizers with their own democratic revolutions (not all successful), but it was not perfect, it has evolved a lot since then, and it will continue to do so.

I will also argue your point about New Zealand. If your democratic process can be subverted by the whims of a single person using the power of his/her inherited authority on the assumption of being divine, then you don't really have a democracy, no matter how many people are allowed to vote.

But again, that is not the point I was making in my response to op. I was just merely pointing out that not all revolutions end in failure.

I was going to write something in the lines of the first comment of the original article, but since @LauraBloomify beat me to it, I'll just copy/paste it here since HN almost always provides a more interesting discussion:

"To continue with the alcohol metaphor, when over-socialised I become a mean drunk, without the drunk part. I've learned, no matter what the social consequences, it's better for me to leave abruptly than stay and explode."

I don't think your story at Couchbase is all that unique either. I'm finding many open source projects without much contribution beyond the maintainers.

For me, the value in open source comes from being able to learn the depths of a code base, or to see how a pattern was applied to solve a type of issue that I may be trying to solve in an unrelated technology. If I find a bug I will submit a PR where I can, if I understand the code base well enough.

That said, I think it's a Utopian ideal that going open source means that people will flock to contribute to a project. Companies like Microsoft are learning this the hard way I feel. Have a look at their .net core repos. The vast majority of users are simply "throwing issues over the wall" without trying to contribute any fixes or discussion.

I would love to live in a world where everyone attempted to produce more than they consume, but we just aren't there.

EDIT: P.S. I love Couchbase!
That is right there with RPM vs DEB debates and "RPM dependency hell."

Similar here, but with dwm r/than i3 (which I've not tried). Looks basic in the extreme, but I can get far more done far more quickly than in a Windows or OS X desktop.

Given the past history of gimmick products which have worked, the expectation is not completely irrational. Pet Rocks. Chia Pets. The Frisbee, yo-yo, and hula-hoop.

One could argue the success of most companies in SV are based in part on indifference.

Disruption creates many losers as well as winners, not everything is a positive sum game.

Indifference towards second order impacts due to a focus on the primary goal (economy is really really bad about to explode etc) is pretty common.

I think Thiel does acknowledge some of the ugliness though looking at his speech, he's just focused on the necessity for immediate change versus status quo/gradual shifts & calls for him to be disavowed for doing so still don't ring quite true.
Your knee-jerk response to this statistic is symptomatic of the stygma attatched to mental illness in our society. If this was a statistic on a viral infection, would you be so doubtful?

This attitude is what keeps people from being willing to seek help when they suffer from depression or suicidal thoughts for fear that skeptics will judge them as faking or lacking character. As someone who lived for over ten years with multiple undiagnosed mental disorders and suffered significant, unnecesary setbacks as a result, I believe we still have a ways to go before mental health is treated with the appropriate amount of concern.
Understand the sensation. 5 years ago I used to do something similar with xfce+compiz' "spin the cube" with a suitable hotkey (ctrl+alt+direction). I actually wound up preferring this greatly to the dual monitor thing as I didn't have to maintain my neck at unnatural angles, spend more money, or have a stupidly large desk. The last few years I have been mostly on console (similar alt+direction) or OSX (kinda fullscreen or bust traditional WIMPpery). As I have made my mind up not to buy another Mac (laptop hardware is nice but very overpriced, just dies and is too expensive to repair... and I no longer need a laptop, now that bluetooth keyboard+tablet is a strong option), I will probably join you soon. :)
If you are not yet strongly attached to a graphing solution I'd like to suggest gnuplot. It can be used with Python through a thin library, by commanding it through a pipe, or simply by writing your numbers into a file that is read by a gnuplot script.

It's better suited to scientific-style graphs than such things as bar- or pie-charts, but it can be cajoled into making those, too.

There is some advantage to decoupling your visualization task from the rest of your computation.

I can attest to how well designed Autofac is.

I had to decide on which DI framework to use on a small front end WPF application that I worked on at a job last year (the app had a lot of singleton classes that were impossible to unit test hence why I needed to introduce a DI framework). I'd come from a job where larger framework choices had been made years prior by senior developers and their framework of choice at the time was Microsoft's Unity so that was what I had worked with for ~5 years. After a week or so of research and deliberation I decided to go with Autofac and found it to be really easy to set up and use. For me it hit the sweet spot between built in functionality and performance.
It apparently turns out: RBS is simply dropping them as a customer. The UK has not frozen their accounts.

Getting real on diversity in tech: Three tactics that will actually make changes
OK, the problems seem more culture based then.

All of these issues tie together.

Developers can't access production, so they start using production like environments, which allows for proper Ops work (Infrastructure as code - e.g. config management), which allows for easier setup of production like environments for developers ... and continue cycle.

Its hard to move to that, and takes time, but it really helps. I know it can seem overkill, especially for small teams, but the tech debt paydown that happens when you end up doing it in the future can be huge, and massively disruptive.
Your rhetoric implies an allegation of sickness rather than them actually being sick. I'm not going to deny that society may have contributing factors such as stigma or how society deals with traumatized individuals, but to imply that that many people being that sick is to be prescribed to an issue with the definition of being mentally ill strikes me as strange.
I'm not aware of any unemployment figure that includes small business owners or those who are self-employed.

The real question is, are people who retired early (see /r/financialindependence) counted in this figure? What about trust fund kids? I'd argue that if you have enough money to not need to work, and you aren't, and you don't want to, then you should slot into some category very different than the people who can't work and aren't self-sufficient financially.
I recently switched to using a Mac (for work) after 5-6 years only using Linux. Again and again the most painful aspect of the Apple ecosystem is that Apple have already decided what is going to be best for me.

By default, it's impossible to use workspaces without frequent switches to the trackpad, which wouldn't be so bad, but without installing third party software it's not really possible to create shortcuts or start remapping keys either. Even once you've installed and started Kwm, Karabiner and Seil, the botched keyboard layout renders the Alt key useless for wm shortcuts. There's not even a keyboard shortcut that makes a window fullscreen without removing it from its workspace!

So much of the system lives in this unconfigurable space. As a Linux user, if my window manager isn't working for me, then I just install another one and start again with a fresh _and customizable_ blank slate.

Ironically the things that don't frustrate me about the chance from Linux to Mac are the things the author identified in the article. My editor works just the same in both OSes and Homebrew could be a lot worse.

And I get it, the OSX experience is a system that is averaged out to be comfortable and intuitive for everyone from musicians to graphic designers to programmers and business people. As a result, the user experience punishes power users the most.

If you primarily identify as a programmer and use a Mac on a day-to-day basis, go pick up a cheap Chromebook, throw a linux distro on it, and see how it feels. If it's not quite right, tweak it. If you get it working, great - you've just saved yourself ~$1000 and a vendor lock-in. If not, all you've lost is $150 and a few hours of your life.

RE dowload size, I guess it depends entirely on how many you plan to use. Downloading an entire font to use a single icon would be inefficient compared to a few lines of CSS.
Paint.net has feature? I find it is just a simple quick raster editor with little to no features. What am I missing?
What am I wrong about? Seriously, I'm not sure what you think I'm arguing for. I'm saying that a university with an employee who does nothing for decades has the right to be a little pissed about that.

I'm not saying that having a Nobel Laureate on staff isn't worth something. I'm not saying that they should have fired him. I'm simply saying that I can understand the view in the earlier post where it was said that Higg's isn't a great example of why today's publishing climate is a bad thing.

The original article was about a Nobel Laureate who "wouldn't be productive enough for today's publishing climate". The implication is that this means that there is a problem with today's publishing climate. There may be, but Higgs isn't a good example of why. He was arguably not productive enough even for his earlier lower pressure time. He just put out one very brilliant piece of work that made up for it.

But that is in no way an indictment of the current academic focus on publications. There are other reasons and examples of why the current climate is a problem, but Higgs isn't one. The Higgs lesson in this context is "get a Nobel and you can do whatever you want". If you don't have a Nobel you're going to have to consistently produce research, and while the pressure to do so wasn't as high in the 70s and 80s, one paper every 3-5 years is pretty awful in an environment where publishing research is the goal.
Ok, throw Docker away.

Did anybody have better experience with e.g. Rkt?
Definitely. I prefer Illustrator for multi-page documents requiring irritatingly precise typography, and Inkscape for SVGs. Although I pretty much mastered Photoshop perhaps 20 years ago, I've gradually come to loathe it and happily use GIMP or Darktable instead.

> It doesn't matter what your concerns are with Clintons' politics or potentially shady dealings, they pale in comparison to the alternative.

In my book, a blowhard possibly having used his wealth and fame to get sex is nothing compared to the things Clinton has said and done and is accused of. A crass remark by Trump is paraded as a war crime whilst Clinton nonchalantly calling for the assassination of someone spreading inconvenient information is swept under the rug. I'm not American so perhaps it's not my business, but looking at it from the outside it is clear which candidate was able to afford the biggest propaganda machine.

That kind of demonizing and dehumanizing language is not really appropriate here IMO.
The intelectual pilar of the American Revolution was a manuscript called Common Sense by Thomas Paine where the changes in values where outlined.

Calling it just a struggle for independence says nothing about why they were struggling to be independent.
IMO it's very similar to what I've seen with writers.

There will be literally days sometimes where I just can't get past a "block". Generally they come at points where I need to start something new, or work on the next "phase" of a project, and I just can't get started.

But then something will "click" and i'll be hyperfocused on it, and before I know what happened it's 7pm and even if I stop now my mind won't let me stop thinking about it. I'll lay in bed thinking about it, i'll dream about the project, i'll be excited to get to work in the morning to do what my mind was toying with the night before.

And then i'll start to "clean up", start to dot all the i's and cross all the t's and i'll get it to a point where that part is "done", then i'm back at square one.

The feedlots is due to subsidised corn, take away the subsidy then it's no longer cost effective. The anti-biotics is to prevent the cattle from becoming sick from eating corn. It screws up their gut flora and they spend their entire lives with diarrhea. The whole process is really unhealthy for the cattle and us. My country doesn't have feed lots for cattle and you can taste the difference. I'm not a hippy / hipster but I will insist on free range food.
