>he was “no more a person now but a whole climate of opinion.”

>it is rather shocking how swiftly, [..] Freud’s relevance has waned in the past two decades

I think the first quote answers the second: it was just a climate of opinion, with very little of substance to back it up. And so it has rightly been discarded. Not that we don't have new fashionable opinions to take its place, many no more substantial.

>It is more common now to regard humanity as lucid about its interests, and rational in its fulfillment of them

Wut? The opposite is true. We are more and more aware of the foibles of human perception and thinking, but nowadays based on a solid scientific foundation, not the fantasies of a ... well, imaginative person.

Just as an aside: I have a Ubuntu chroot running on the Ubuntu Touch/Phone. It's running mutt, taskwarrior, vim, git, ledger and a few other bits nicely. Still a work in progress, but it's nice to be able to do that instead of make the whole device writable. That's the other option and it breaks OTA updates and potentially more.
"Eventually - maybe in 20 years - humans won't be even allowed to drive."

I don't see that happening for a century. Unless you subsidize the cost of purchase of a new car for everyone who has a car now, and associated costs of owning a new vehicle.

Where I'm from(Poland) the average age of a car is 16 years. Buying a new car, even if it's something very cheap like a Fiat Panda, is still a huge deal.

Why would you care about what purchasing power is like in Poland you ask? Well, because at the moment I can drive my car literally around the world, without modifying it an inch. If some countries start banning manual cars, then suddenly you can't cross certain borders anymore - that's almost idiotic. If the ban of manual cars is going to happen, it will need to happen almost worldwide at the same time, and that's absolutely, definitely, completely not happening in the next 20 years.

I actually think your example with cars without seatbelts is great, because it illustrates what will happen with manually-driven cars - instead of banning them, they will eventually become so rare there will be no need to ban them, just like you can still drive your 1950 car without seat belts or airbags.

How do you deal with sites whose password requirements don't match the output of LessPass? How do you handle the fact that sites want you to change your password? Yes. There's a counter field, but how do you know what site uses what version of the counter? How do you change the master password without having to change all passwords?

Thing is: There's a solution for all these problems: All you have to do is actually generating a random password and store that (in-fact, that's the solution proposed by LessPass to use for these special cases. But if you have storage for the special cases, why not just store the passwords to begin with?)

You don't want to sync it because you don't trust the client-side encryption used in all the managers out there? Use a piece of paper to write the passwords down. Or use a device you constantly carry with you as your password store.

While there are tons of workarounds for the issues of stateful password managers, there are none for the stateless ones (aside of storing the state somewhere, but if you're doing that, why not just store the password?)
As far as I am aware, no. You might try emailing the mods to ask.

> Or are we used to "perpendicular" layouts simply because assembly machines weren't able to rotate components like that?

I used a small pick and place machine 15 years ago (Europlacer something or other). It was able to place components at any angle. You'd have an X,Y package centre, and then a theta rotation angle.

Programming it would not have been fun, but the placing is controlled by the programming and machine vision and fiducial markings.
The discussion was \z contra \Z. I always clear out the new lines and use \Z, so I never bothered.

The ASCII table used to be the alpha and the omega. :-)

That is, it was not so much of unnecessary extra detail when the char codes was inserted into Reg exps. The newfangled Regexps and grammars of Perl 6 cleaned out a lot of lint.

You could probably make an argument for starting to remove, not only add, [more] features when you declare a perl version in a script.

(And personally, I only ever used \n, \r, \t and similar. Everything else is as Cthulhu meant it to be, octal. Regular expressions' problem always was readability, I never used more features than I need and /x is my friend. That said, the "modern" Perl 5 regular expressions are like grammars, really cool.)
I think Tim Flannery (though probably not the first or only one to) proposed the benefits of retaining a huge volume or oil & coal in case we ever need to thoughtfully kick-start a greenhouse effect.
I started using Nic Wolff's password generator[0] to solve that very problem, but I noticed that the need for connected passwords makes up a large size of the passwords that I needed to use, so I gave up on the idea of "store nothing passwords". The idea of generating always the same password for the same site is also doesn't work, because of database breaches, so in the end I created a program[1] that did all the things I needed. Check the README to know how it works.

I learnt Perl 5 a long time ago (in school) and used it for CGI based web-sites and sys-admin stuff. I always found it easier to rewrite Perl code from scratch than maintain it. Of course at the time, I was a newbie programmer, so I don't blame the language.

I don't know why I should learn Perl 6 when there are so many new languages to learn. (Just keeping up with web-tech and Javascript itself takes an enormous chunk of time away)

Can a perl 6 geek give a use case of why perl 6 would be better choice than Ruby/Python/ES6/Java/Scala/C#/F#/Rust/Swift for an application in some domain ?

A comparison on where Perl 6 is superior on different parameters such as productivity, libraries, module system, documentation tools, packaging & assembly, macro and micro performance, runtime-scaling, concurrency models, hot-deployment, software-update, etc would be great.
> I can rustle up a passable impression of a normal person because I know it is part of the deal...

I feel like this, even though I'm by no means shy. I feel like everything I know about interacting with other people was learned in a very deliberate way. I'm conscious of not being what I appear - to the extent that I will also comfortably discuss that with someone.

It can take time, I was probably 2-4 years in each, required some study, and some interviews didn't work out for experience reasons, some did because I could prove I understood the issues at hand.

I'm now firmly in Desktop/Embedded which comes with its own challenges, but could not be happier about escaping JS and its... Oddness.

I wonder what the security flaw was? It is interesting that all the customers are still allowed to use their cards for cash withdrawals and payments, and they can all still log in to their online accounts. There doesn't seem to be any mention of a system-wide password reset.

So... it sounds like there wasn't a widespread theft of account credentials, and that the attack was some kind of weakness in the bank's online systems. Perhaps the attackers found a way to log in to accounts bypassing the usual security checks? But that still doesn't explain it all.

All my online accounts have extra security when I create a payment to a new individual. Some have an extra password check, some have SMS validation, and so on. All of them send me a notification of a new payment being added. And yet there doesn't seem to be reports of Tesco customers getting any of these kind of messages. People only found about the losses when they logged into their accounts, or when Tesco broadcast a "we've been hacked" message to everyone.

Does anyone know what could have happened here?

EDIT: This is wrong! See Kliment's post below.

Wave soldering is used for through hole, not surface mount, components.

With wave soldering you have a bucket of molten solder that is pushed over the lip of one edge of the bucket. This is the wave. The circuit board is transported over the wave, just touching it. Solder flows to the exposed copper, but not anything else (which is referred to as solder resist in this context - that blue colour is solder resist).

Surface mount would tend to use screen printed solder paste and then a hot oven to melt the paste.

Agreed. DST is just plain silliness for no gain. In a century everyone will have a hearty laugh at the superstitious timekeeping ritual of their ancestors.

And the 24 hours clock is just a matter of notation. In large parts of the world it's the default one for specifying time.

I've worked in several companies with global offices and time translation was never an issue. Of course you'd need to accept the fact that people in other parts of the world would be in the office at different times of the day. But there is no "tech fix" for that.
The problem there of course (migrating to Perl 6) is also finding matching packages for the _huge_ list we presently use. I can also only imagine the fallout from various issues like places we may have accidentally used the outcome of a dualvar accidentally, or other interesting side-effects of Perl 5.

6 Looks just fine as a language, but it really does feel like a completely new language which means it's less a migration and more a re-write. Which then leads to the question: if we're going to re-write, should it still be Perl?

Ask HN: Why are the no useful Unicode chars, like wifi?
Unicode 9 is bringing things like facepalm, avocado, canoe, etc. ( see http://emojipedia.org/unicode-9.0/ ), but we still don't seem to have characters for widely used signs, like wifi, bluetooth, various level signal bars, or, god forsake, RSS.

There is U+1F4F6, usually used as mobile data connection indicator, whereas we have U+1F508, U+1F507, U+1F509, U+1F50A, U+1F568, U+1F569, U+1F56A just for speakers.

I'm unaware of the potential licensing problems on these signs, and it doesn't really make sense not to have them.

Is anyone aware why is the situation like this?

This was not my experience with Perl, at all. Perl was the first really welcoming programming community I found on the web. Not the only one, I'm sure, but it stood out in remarkable ways.

Perl Monks was super helpful to beginners and intermediate Perl programmers; unmatched then or now, I think; maybe the Go community is a modern parellel, as it has a very beginner-friendly culture, IME. IRC was always great (though I must concede it is somewhat cranky these day...not unhelpful, but not always as gentle about helping as it once was). I don't know which "Beginners Perl" mailing list you're referring to, but the ones I used to follow when I was learning (a couple of decades ago) were very helpful.

I'm sure there are cranky old Perlmongers in this world. And, it's been so long since I was paying close attention to beginner resources that I may have missed a shift in tone in that time. But, Perl, to me, was a great learning language.

And, I liked Learning Perl, though I think the Camel is a better book, and if you're not a true programming beginner, Programming Perl is the better book to read. Learning Perl teaches Perl and programming at the same time, and may not be the best way to learn either; though, again, I thought it was quite good, and was very empowering for me.
It's also really shocking to see just how many accounts the average person amasses. My KWallet had some 250 entries at peak times.

I didn't think about regenerative breaking and of course it looks like a good place. But in the end of the cannot this be absorbed by the batteries with a good configuration? I mean, adding N supercapacitors that can absorb X power each would be proportional as configuring it as M batteries (where M >> N) charging that can absorb Y power each where Y = X * N / M => Y << X, which seems doable. So you'd either need enough capacitors to use them effectively (adding cost/complexity) or enough batteries, right?

Is that the reason why Tesla can do regenerative braking except for strong stops? Because the batteries can absorb part but not all of the sudden energy?
The Stone Age didn't end for lack of stones.
Tabs are a way to reduce the amount of stick force (i.e. force applied by the pilot) required to deflect a control surface in a mechanically linked system. In most modern aircraft hydraulic or electric systems fill the same purpose

To give a simplified explanation, a small tab located at the trailing edge of the surface is deflected by the control linkage. The deflection of the tab generates an aerodynamic force which then creates a moment around the control surface hinge, moving the entire surface.

So if you deflect the tab upwards, that air flow over the tab generates a downwards force that acts to move the control surface down.
If you want to change your passwords from time to time, as you say, then this system isn't going to suit you, because it only ever generates one password for each site.
How is this different from having one password for all sites? If I break the master password I gain access to everything.

The story of Perl vs PHP vs Ruby vs Python is interesting. Apparently both PHP and Ruby were created because its authors found Perl too complicated 20+ years ago(!?). There is definitely a problem with that language (and I find Ruby already complex) that looks extremely cryptic for a non Perl developer. Perl is still used in place of bash scripts and in legacy apps, I just don't see people writing new software with Perl at first place. And System administrators have moved to Python which is now bundled with most distributions. Python just killed Perl.

> So, why isn't it the poster child of the scripting languages yet?
