> In 2010, Nicola Gratteri and other anti-mafia prosecutors arrested and convicted the syndicate’s “boss of bosses”, 80-year-old Domenico Oppedisano, who was unknown to police before the start of their investigation and led an outwardly blameless life as a market gardener.

I think this was my favorite part of the article. How do you make it to 80 years old as not only an undetected mob boss but as an undetected super-mob-boss? Smuggling tons of cocaine and whacking hundreds of people aren't exactly easily anonymizable crimes.
Visual Studio Code is more like a fancy text editor rather an a full IDE. It's more like Sublime Text or (technically) Atom, rather than an IDE like Visual Studio for Windows or XCode.
Thanks for the reply man. Your answer really solidifies my decision.
Yes, a lot of people need to get to work at 8, but normal working hours start at different times for different people

The other factor is school. While I can show up at work, more less, whenever I want, my daughter has be at school by 8.10 at the latest, as does everybody else's kids. If we don't add flexibility to school starting times times then, to many people, it won't matter what sort of flexibility they have with work.
I just heard about this from another source and figured I'd search HN before posting myself. I'm surprised this has not gotten more attention.

One thing they mentioned in the podcast I was listening to, was that they've actually proven they can detect explosives in the air through the leaves of the plant too.

They were also talking about triangulating signals from several plants to find the location of a pollutant in ground water.

They also notes that the procedure or modifying these plants is just pushing water containing the nano-particles onto the leaves with a needle-less syringe. And you could basically go up to any plant in the wild and do this.
Alternative signal: Bitcoin. If the engagement ends poorly, the Bitcoin can be un-earmarked and so the entire value can be salvaged. Many other obvious pros as well.

Visual Studio and Visual Studio for Mac are IDEs written in C# and they support C#, C++, VB.Net and many other languages.

Visual Studio Code is a text editor built in TypeScript and based on Electron. It supports a broad range of languages, but it's an advanced text editor, not a full fledged IDE
This made me think of the passage below from Edsger Dijkstra's ACM Turing Lecture from 1972. Back then there was no C++.

"I remember from a symposium on higher level programming language a lecture given in defense of PL/1 by a man who described himself as one of its devoted users. But within a one-hour lecture in praise of PL/1. he managed to ask for the addition of about fifty new “features”, little supposing that the main source of his problems could very well be that it contained already far too many “features”. The speaker displayed all the depressing symptoms of addiction, reduced as he was to the state of mental stagnation in which he could only ask for more, more, more..."

Slightly off-topic: if I want to learn developing Win32 applications, what is be the best place to start and where do I find comprehensive reference material? I find the simplicity and responsiveness of Notepad2 and similar applications very impressive.

Should I get Visual Studio 6.0 or is a MinGW workflow [1] the way to go? Is MSDN still usable as a Win32 reference or is there some old go-to Win32 bible that I should look for?

I get the "what's on the inside" idea - it could be irrelevant. But there are also reasons why it does matter. She's specifically using a generic-looking body to not stand out and the setting is Japan. Americans do stand out from a crowd in Japan.

Ash HN: CI/CD SaaS for Kubernetes
Does and CI/CD SaaS exist for managing deployments in Kubernetes?

I'd like to be able to build and push images to a private repo, then perform an update on a Kubernetes deployment.

Ideally, it would show a history of deployments (and the current deployment status) as well as allowing rollbacks.

Basically, a CI/CD product that understands K8s and uses it natively.

The closest I've found so far is Distelli, but it has a layer of abstraction over deployments that is not feature complete and has some odd requirements for setup.

Does anything like this exist?

Maven has a notorious reputation of behaving differently (especially with dependency resolutions) in newer versions of its release which has lead to build failures in some of the projects that I have been involved in. So it may not really be Cassandra's fault here.
>"it actually says it supports c++,c#... I still dont get what the difference is.."

The GP was looking at the languages the tools were written in, not the languages they support.

For what it's worth, I believe 'TypeScript + Electron' would be a closer description of what VSC was based on.

Just guessing here but I think it's to allow easy grounding of old appliances and other equipment that might risk contact with electricity but are not grounded by default. Metal frame desk as example.
Not all cities in Asia are walkable.

I was in Thailand recently and I found it's cities incredibly difficult to walk around. Roads often don't have sidewalks, often have many lanes, and pedestrian crossings are just marked on the road - without traffic lights - and are ignored by the traffic. The level of traffic makes the roads extremely difficult to cross.

Everyone in Thailand, even the very poor, seems to have a moped. If they don't have a moped they have a pickup truck. Tourists are forced to take taxis - the locals think you are weird for wanting to walk even 200 metres to a shop.

You've just described end-to-end-learning (e.g. the data is raw video/camera/radar/sensor data, the labels are steering angles, etc.)

No autonomous vehicle manufacturer uses end-to-end learning. The only one to claim to use it was Comma.ai, and we all know how that went.

All the autonomous car companies will manually label the camera images - e.g. given an image, draw boxes around where all the cars are.
This problem is common.

You can solve it by opening up the power supply and ripping out the bright blue Y capacitor inside. It looks like a slim M&M with 2 legs. Both apple official and 3rd party power supplies will have one.

Do not damage the capacitor without removing it - that could lead to an electric shock. You can remove it by cutting it off with pliers or wire cutters.

The power supply will work fine afterwards, but might emit a bit of radio interference, although generally not too much.
It's a toy for learning, nothing more.
If you want to be the tallest tree in the forest, you can take in the most water and sunlight to be taller than everyone else, or you can chop down all the other trees so you're the only one standing.

No. CAA is an instruction to Certificate Authorities, not an instruction to clients.

Let's Encrypt obeys CAA, if you try to validate for a domain which has a CAA record saying e.g. "Only Symantec may issue for this domain", Let's Encrypt's software will reject the validation. Current Baseline Requirements don't require this of a CA (they're required to document what they do with CAA but most picked "soft fail" ie they will issue but maybe do extra scrutiny) because they feared it would be used somehow in an anti-competitive way.

Client software like Firefox, or Internet Explorer, ignores CAA altogether, as described in the design of CAA.
I was excited until this: "It’s all powered by the C# language you know and love"

I'm pleased with MS's new cross-platform efforts and liked their dev tools a lot in the past, but that's an obnoxious, presumptuous, and laughable statement. I've been a professional developer on both Windows, Mac, and iOS and have never written a line of C# code.

Swift is open-source, so why not migrate to that? Why should we learn C# instead (and that's a real question, not snark)?
They said it's based on Roslyn, so it should support VB.net. In the current release of Xamarin Studio for Mac, VB is supported in GTK and console applications, while Xamarin targets only support C# and F#

First off, I don't understand how you make the jump from "wants a possession" to "deserves to be treated as a possession." Even if we accept that wanting a diamond ring would make her dumb (and I don't accept that), it still wouldn't warrant treating her like property. That seems like an awfully dehumanizing perspective to hold.

Second, the fact that the tradition is a modern one, that started with an advertising campaign, is basically irrelevant. As far as the woman is concerned, this is something that every other married girl she's ever known has received. It's perfectly natural to want hers too. If she's particularly financially minded or happens to be exceptionally grounded in this case, she might decide to reject the tradition, but it's hardly a marker of unintelligence to feel otherwise. I'm sure you hold many irrational preferences in your life, as do we all, and it's not any more fair to insult her for her wishes than it is to insult you for yours.

I find it interesting that you suggest a down payment on a house as an alternative to buying a diamond ring. First, you're presuming that the diamond ring is such a burden that it's getting in the way of the couple's other financial obligations (which may be the case, but also may not). But also, your suggestion proves just how subjective and emotional these things really are, because property ownership is yet another optional part of "the dream" that many might consider a needless extravagance, much like a diamond ring. Sure, it seems to have more utility (on the surface), but it's also far more expensive, and it will continue to become more expensive as time passes on. Property ownership is valued much more highly in some cultures than others, and the notion of saddling yourself with debt (a mortgage) for 30 years just for that privilege seems downright insane to some people.
Ouch. Sounds likely, but I went looking too :(

Makes me think about Ladonia in southern Sweden. Painter built a tower by using wood lying around on the beach, and proclaimed the 1 km2 area the name of Ladonia. Local authorities see it as a crime due to the area being a nature reserve and had plans of taking it down, but at the same time they can't say no to the increasing amount of tourists.

I don't know if it's just the usual whining of people complaining about new things.

From the exterior (I'm too young and the only Mac I've ever used was the Macintosh Plus -bragging, with 4Mo of RAM- while I was a child), it really seems like Apple has dropped the ball for professionals, both developers and graphics people.

There are now equally well designed PCs (laptops and desktops) from other manufacturers, Windows has a lot of support, if you want to use Linux, the kernel now supports a wide range of hardware.

In the meantime, Apple doesn't have a good desktop offering, and their laptops seem gimmicky to me while not offering a performance edge over their competitors.

A few months ago I thought about buying a (my first) Macbook and waited for their announcement, now I'm looking the other way.

And around me, I'm the guy people go to ask when they have a computer related purchase to make.
One nitpick (was going to be two, but I mentally nitpicked my own nitpick) economic theory suggests that if the artificial meat industry had a decreasing long run marginal cost with increasing quantity then the price could actually decrease as a result of greater demand.
>WRONG. The removal of a dozen keys from an already gimped keyboard is decidedly anti-developer.

I am a developer and I could not care less about function keys.

Why the duck would developers need function keys? Even for Vim, the age-old advice is to remap Esc so that you keep your hands on the home row.

A flexible multi-touch strip of context-aware keys can do much more things -- e.g. map debugger step moves when I'm running an IDE, or trigger builds, show the SCM status of the current opened file, etc.

Ask HN: Is social networking a done and dusted business?
A little context: I was browsing through my Facebook profile, and wanted to check my login history (in case my account was compromised, yes I am paranoid), a little googling revealed I could download all my archived data, and I did. It would be an understatement to say I freaked out. Facebook knew me! Their ad targeting was brilliant and stored a lot of info that I would not want stored anywhere.

The question: is social networking a done and dusted business? I hope it isn't, and if not, what would the next major social network be like? What would it's characteristics be?

Would privacy be an important factor for the masses?

I know all answers can at best be speculation and educated guesses, but I would like to see a discussion on this topic.
What's the long-term business goal for Azure lock-in? If .Net runs as well on Linux as it does on Windows, then there really is no reason to use Azure over any other cloud provider like AWS where generic CentOS or Ubuntu boxes are no different than their Azure counterparts.

Back when .Net was Windows only, they gave it away because the goal was the developers would pay a lot of money for MSDN, GUI apps on Windows, SQL Server, Office, and Sharepoint integration, etc. But .Net core is mostly server side, so I'm having trouble figuring why they'd bother giving away VS to Mac users without being forced to run on Azure in production.
It's a rebranded Xamarin Studio (MonoDevelop).

The house analogy doesn't quite work for me. Housing prices vary wildly by their location. Some of it is due to practical reasons(urban centre, close to work), but some of it is clearly just social posturing(buying a house in a posh neighbourhood).

New York, San Francisco, and Washington D.C. have significantly higher commute times (including by public transit) than less dense cities. New York's subway riders have it particularly bad, spending an average of 7.5 hours per week on the trains [0]. This is despite those cities having some of the best transit systems in the country [1].

I'm aware of the finding that lower commute times are associated with happiness, but that makes the opposite of your argument. The lowest commute times are found in small, low-density, car-oriented cities. Even in New York, drivers and taxi-riders have shorter commutes than public transit users.

As you'll see in the report, a very lucky few have short walks, but it is not at all the norm. I surmise that if you can afford to live within walking distance of work in New York, you're likely an order of magnitude too rich to need to work.

Your other points are valid, but I'm highly skeptical that these benefits are worth the extra $2000/mo they bring in housing costs (when collapsing a 3-bedroom house family into a 1-bedroom apartment), particularly when we are talking about people who do not have $2000/mo.

I say this as a relatively new Berkeley to SF public transit commuter. I love my job, but I'd rather stab my eyes out than spend 80 minutes on overstuffed, lurching BART trains every day for the rest of my life. Fortunately, the gruesome death vs. BART tradeoff is available in the form of motorcycling, which I'm trying next.

This is absolutely amazing. C# has always been a great language, except the .NET ecosystem (sans Mono) has always revolved around Windows only.

Next up, when is VS for Linux?
Since when is putting words I did not said in my mouth "contributing civilly"? If you make a gunfight out of a conversation do not blame me if you get shot.
Most interesting part for me:

"""For the functional programmers among you, it includes excellent F# support, powered by the same F# compiler used in Visual Studio."""

I've heard that F# is great from multiple people I trust a lot (and a quick cross check showed it does indeed look very cool) so I might give it a try once this is released.

I do some C# development (Unity Engine stuff) on my Powerbook so this is also good news (MonoDevelop is fine but I'll obviously test VS for Mac)
To me it looks like they are giving people running linux the minimum tools to run that stuff, but at the same time not giving enough to encourage devs to stay on Linux (WSL goes in the opposite direction, its purpose is to help devs move to Windows). But this is all IMHO, take it with a grain of salt.

By the way, since it's based off MonoDevelop, you can just use it con Linux.
yeah, recent Microsoft attitude for development tools is excellent. They opensourced a lot of codes, released Visual Studio Code,and integrated Windows with bash shell. I assume Apple is becoming less dev-oriented company, seeing they are making light of pro tools like MacPro and function keys.

In Sweden at least it seems to be quite common to wear both rings. However it also seems to be more common to have inset stones, rather than one that sticks out. I've also seen several people who buy the engagement ring and wedding band together as a matching set to make sure they work together. (something which to me always felt rather presumptuous)
