ATMs have the same problem with viewing angles. It's funny with those too because that interface will always be used at extreme angles: From above (potentially) when a person is standing at an ATM, from straight on if they happen to match the ATM's screen height, and from below if someone is sitting in their car.

A good case for touch screens, where the label is the interaction point.

You could have gone with the one of the BeagleBone varieties. BeagleBoard seems to be the only real contender that the Pi line faces, from a community standpoint. Each unit is a few bucks more, but that'll go towards strengthening an ecosystem around boards that are even more open than what you get with the Pi.

It's hard to get the benefits of volume when everyone keeps going for the cheaper-right-now board in order to maximize their own short-term benefits. Contributing to the network effect by buying a Pi because it's cheaper and more popular is not exactly the thing that will lead to Broadcom getting rebuffed and having to answer for all their problems.

Ask HN: Does 'specializing' in JavaScript automatically signify mediocrity?
Besides big-name personalities/contributors within the JS community of course.

I occasionally get the impression that advertising having more JavaScript experience than something like Python automatically creates a negative impression. Is it just me or does that perception exist?
Yeah, my accounts in the US always get flagged for manual review at creation time and "extended initial funds holding" because my SSN doesn't match my DOB (because it was issued when I got my Green Card, and not when I was born).

I've even had to convince banks that they're allowed to open an account for me in the first place...
It only takes 30 minutes to fill up a gas-powered vehicle if it's an RV. Plus, you need to babysit the RV while it's filling and can't really wander off to go shopping for 30–60 minutes.
Aside from the security concerns already noted I have two major questions:

1) How do I change my master password? It appears that all generated passwords would change as well. Even master passwords should be expirable and changeable.

2) I don't just use a password manager to manage passwords. I use it to manage _credentials_. I have a ton of credentials, so I need something that will remember the _usernames_ for me as well. Otherwise I don't just have to memorize the master password - I also have to memorize the usernames for the hundreds of different logins I'm managing. That's a non-starter.

I once talked to a guy who thought of himself as Zen / minimalist -- and thought I was too.

Minimalism isn't a thing for me. It's not a sense of aesthetics, though I do like the ascetic and pared-down aesthetic ... but also the decadent and baroque of Victorian and steampunk.

What I do and what I am got confused with minimalism because I actually practice meditation, and I actually know what kind of effect things, objects, emotions, thoughts, and narratives have on the psyche. Minimalism, when it becomes a a thing one identifies with, as a form of social signaling, and as a form of narrative about yourself tells me that that person is no longer practicing impeccably.

"Do you own the object or does the object own you?" still applies even if you become obsessed with minimalism. You might have purged a number of consumer goods out of your life, and yet the very _idea_ of minimalism continues to possess and obsess you.

It has never been about getting every little thing out of your life. It's sufficient for it to reveal enough of your truer self. It's about shedding your social identities, not heaping ostentation upon more ostentation.

That doesn't feel true. Why did they sue Napster if they didn't care about piracy?

Because it appears that 100 years is proposed because of some sort of vague "we don't know what we don't know." It's as if people assume there is some magical property that we are as-yet unaware of and will only be able to be sure of the not-existence-of after 100 years.

Also, 100 years effectively makes it "untestable" within a human time-frame. You really think any company is going to spend money to continually monitor and administer a large-scale double-blind test of a product before being allowed to sell it? Even 10 years is ridiculous at this point for drug-products, and we already cry-foul about the cost that "big-pharma" is charging as if it costs nothing to prove that they are safe to the levels that we demand through the FDA.

Also, 100 years is just an answer to effectively shut down all GMO products. Permanently, for 100 years. That is not a solution, it's fear-mongering.

In both 1 and 2, there are a varying amount of blobs spread around kernel tarballs and even kernel git repositories, and Allwinner has been made aware of those being in violation with the GPL quite a numerous amount of time.

Has allwinner gone and resolved all of these issue in the meantime (which is only a brief timeperiod measured in, oh, i don't know, 3 years)? No. At best they did a few but only increased the number of blobs upon every new kernel release.

Stop your nonsense, besides it just being inane, it is quite perpendicular to the truth.

Not sure what the OP's motivation are for asking "why GPL?", but my motivation when I ask that can translate to something like this:

"Hi, I'd like to use your library, but your license is incompatible with the other <N> licenses in my codebase. Consider BSD please?"
Yes, there is a specific reason behind it, but in the future I might consider a less restrictive license.
Ah yes, progman. I am unsure if anyone ever ran it other than maximized (only pesky problem was that switching between running programs required a trip to the desktop, or remember to hit alt-tab).

As for finding something based on directory location and file name, thats how you had to do it in the underlying DOS anyways so you quickly memorized your most used paths (if you fired up Windows at all).

1. VERY clever

2. I could watch this all day
Win2k was much more performant than the 128k MacOS. It was a multi-user operating system and could serve those multiple users at the same time across the network. It also wasn't as slow, not by a long shot. Performance monitoring, system logging, dealing with a much higher resolution and colour depth, networking stack, user configuration... it did a hell of a lot more.

Bloat in the browser is really not comparable to the suggestions of bloat in the article - Win2k did so much more than 1984's mac.
My point is that laws are often intentionally not written precisely, because it's impossible to enumerate every type of violation in advance. Looking at my own state's prostitution law, you would need to define the following things to get a precise law:

"money or its equivalent"

"offers"

"adultery"

"fornication"

etc.

The law is written in terms of broad concepts that a judge can interpret. In most cases there is no such thing as "absolute letter of the law", partly because English makes that impossible, but mostly because legislating such strict specific definitions would be a bad idea. I think the impossibility of bug-free software makes it clear that we wouldn't want laws written like code.
While AllWinner provides dismal driver support, there's quite a big third party effort to get proper mainline support for their chips (Free Electrons being the biggest contributor, I think).

A good reference of what you can expected can be found here:

Of course it takes time to clean it up into a mainlineable state. Some years ago I got a "Cubietruck" (A20) and it was somewhat disappointing - the gigabit ethernet (which was the selling point for me) only got to only about double of 100Mbit, using up one of the two cores. It would also have network connections hang once in a while.

This spring I dusted it off and managed to install the latest mainline kernel, and with the exception of onboard NAND (not really necessary since it has SATA), everything I care about works perfectly. I get proper gigabit without CPU stress, and everything is rock stable.

tl;dr: it's worth looking at older devices of they fit your need
I avoid GMO products to a certain degree, but not because I'm concerned that they may be unhealthy or dangerous.

A food crop could be modified to be dangerous I'm sure. And likewise I'm sure one could be selectively bred (over enough generations) to be dangerous. If someone engineers Sarin-secreting corn or something we'll figure it out pretty quickly and the issue won't be it being GMO, it will be human malevolence. But I really couldn't care less about that.

Rather, I like seeing GMO labels because it's the closest analogue for determining if my food is proprietary. I am incredibly against reproducing organisms that are a living patent violation, and I don't want to support such things if possible. Above so said, I would much prefer to see marking indicating that none of the product was patented, copyrighted, licensed, or otherwise encumbered.

Another thing I think that perhaps gets (erroneously) mixed into the GMO debate is biodiversity. Many people have concerns that monoculture is dangerous and somehow mix and/or conflate non-GMO with heirloom/native varietal foods.

Obviously the shadow over all of the above is the "organic" label, which blurs things a little but further. But the primary consumer for organic overlaps with the primary consumer for non-GMO which overlaps with the primary consumer for local/heirloom/native produce, and the net result is that all the terms get muddied.

Given the above, while I concur that GMO labeling is not ideal as is, and I concur that GMO foods are fine or mostly fine, we don't actually have a sufficient food labeling system. People want to know if proprietary organisms are in their food. They want to know if it was grown with pesticides. They want to know where it was grown. Etc.

In many ways food labels are a product of bizarre anti-consumer compromises. It shouldn't take a rocket scientist to be able to get non-proprietary food grown with low pesticide usage. Complaining about the GMO label doesn't really seem to address this.

(PS: Love getting downvoted in the interval between posting my comment and refreshing the thread... almost like somebody didn't even read it.)
It's actually required if you want to write efficient software. Not saying it can't be done e.g. in Python, but you have to know what's going on underneath.

It is hard to compare, since the distinct food item does not have a price. You pay the farmer collective a slice of their yearly budget in terms of money or work and get a slice of the yearly production.
Furthermore the CSA produces food / varieties that are not even available or comparable in terms of quality in the supermarket.
But one member weighted the outcome of one years production and compared it to typical supermarket prices of similar products and found out that the CSA was actually cheaper.

The community is sharing their money or work to keep the agriculture running. They are actively engaged in their food production and therefore prosumers.

DDoS Attacks Are the Digital Global Warming – Let’s Do Something About It
>> This is also entirely leaving out that given the housing crisis and the economy, people in their 20s like me, my generation has way less trust in stocks, the economy and the promise of the American Dream

This is the same for every generation going back several decades.

- In the 60's it was the Vietnam war and the feeling of helplessness fighting "the man". Political assassinations, Watergate and Kent State.

- In the 1970's the feeling of being burned out from the 60's and the yet to arrive boom of the 80's. The 1970's gave them three horrible presidents in Nixon, Ford and Carter.

- In the 1980's it was Generation X. The first generation to be told we wouldn't have social security to fall back on. The first generation to have it worst than their parents. Over indulgence, political and global turmoil made the Gen X'ers introverted, depressed and self loathing.

- In the 1990's it was several wars in the Middle East, inflating costs of attending college, the fear of the draft being reinstated and a failing economy at home. Many of my peers before we had even graduated HS were saying they would stay in college until the economy turned around since many predicted a long, deep recession right before the election.

- In the 2000's it was the Generation Y, or Millennials. An economic collapse in early 2000's, then more war, more terrorism, increasing housing costs and cost of living going stagnant. Less and less opportunity to advance in your career.

So yeah, pretty much every generation has had the right to say they felt like the "American Dream" was lost. Comparatively speaking, I feel more for the Millennials because ten of fifteen years ago, the cost of living was still manageable where you could rent a place with your buds for like $300/month and then go to school on student loans, or work part-time and be completely independent. Now? There's just no affordable way to do that. The cost of living has completely outstripped the ability of the Millennials to get out and be independent without some major financial hardships. And yeah, you hear those people saying, "Aww c'mon, if I could live on Ramen, you can too!" but its not that simple. When your entire two weeks paycheck goes to your rent, and you can't afford food, or heating or internet, what good is having one or two or three jobs when you can't even keep your head above water on a month-to-month basis?

> For postal votes it appears you're not anonymous anyway

The vote-by-mail ballots we have in Oregon come with two envelopes: An envelope printed with your name and address; and a slightly smaller envelope with no identifying markings. You put your completed ballot in the "secret" envelope and you put that envelope in the larger envelope.

Assuming everything goes correctly, the name and signature on the outer envelope is verified against the voter role. If it's a valid vote, the envelope is opened and the ballot envelope is placed in a secure place. Later, on election day, the ballot envelopes are opened and the ballots are read electronically.

There's a risk that the vote-counter may open both envelopes but it doesn't seem like there's a bigger risk with that than there is with other voting methods.

There is a bigger potential risk of intimidation- e.g. a company saying to its employees "bring us your ballot so we can verify that you voted correctly". I don't know how you solve that.
Thank you :-) I have been silently reading linked articles and comments here for a couple of years; apparently I needed a reason to push my own semi dormant project as well as an actual computer to finally register.

I think there is nothing wrong with striving to be minimalistic but I think getting competitively minimalist or even encouraging others to hit some point (throw out 1 thing, then 2, then 50... then 60...) is a little silly.

Clearing your mind and physical space is something every one should strive for in my opinion but there is no use in this ultimate minimalism where you are living with no furniture.

Software Defined Wide-area networking comes to physical security
I am a 100% blind, (primarily) web application developer, and, main focus area at moment is PHP, MySQL, javascript/jQuery, with things like python as a form of side-line, and, main thing for me is finding right alternative tools to use - work on windows platform, using NVDA screen reader, which itself is done using python, and, while I use both WAMP and XAMPP on dev machine, I use a specific programmer's code/text editor, called edSharp, which was created by a blind dev himself, and, for things like DB management, I generally work with a web interface, from adminer.org, which can handle multiple DB platforms, but, on the program-l VI programmer's mailing list, there are a bunch of guys who work with a wide range of dev tools, for all sorts of platforms, and, there are probably a few guys there who might be interested in helping with this type of thing, but, for example, guys there work with things like eclipse, sodbeans, VS.Net, and, multiple other tools, at times with workarounds, etc., but, really just depends on your primary dev focus areas? Either way, check out http://www.freelists.org/list/program-l
I think you've done a better job supporting the other side. The direction and order is important and inherent to the traffic lights functionality, not the color. The color merely helps identify state. Colorblind people can drive fine without knowing which is red and which is green.

The point of colors in syntax highlighting, to me, is not to have a handicap, it's to read the code at the fastest speed possible. No one who is so new to an editor or a language should have the unrealistic expectations to understand the colors and read at full speed in their first hour of gazing.
Back in the 90's when I was doing 3D on the web, we looked at this and the results weren't compelling. The models used for CAD/CAM aren't the same sort of thing you would want a GPU to try and render in a 3D scene. Just as one trivial example, none of them had normals so you'd need to do a lot of model cleanup simply to get them to render as a solid object.
Clearly, absolutely no one saw this coming, nor did anyone warn us. :-)

How else do you explain how woefully unprepared we are?

I think that from an end users point of view SSH is as simple as telnet.
Sure there are ways to use ssh keys and so on, but the base operation is as simple, ssh machine instead of telnet machine.

Regarding need to download ssh, the same has been true about telnet since (at least) windows 7.
(Telnet is NOT included by default in windows 7)

Warnings about server key change, is something i feel happens very rarely with a workaround described in the error message. I feel this is a very minor issue

The other ssh added complexity is optional stuff. and is something i feel made ssh better than telnet, example:
You can forward X11 connection between unix machine using ssh.(Sure you use telnet and xhost/ DISPLAY et.c )

SSH-keys are also a optional feature, that are not forced on the user, but can simplify remote login.

Sure there are more complexity inside ssh and the protocol, but the simplest use of ssh is about as simple as telnet.
