I first tried VS Code for Python programming on the Mac last weekend, made it my main Python editor/ide by now. I found it extremely straightforward to set up, esp. the debugger is usable in a very intuitive way.

Have you set the configuration setting for the python executable?

"python.pythonPath": "/usr/bin/python",

Don't give away your free software and open source software either.

Distributing free software is an opportunity to raise
funds for development. Don't waste it!

https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/selling.en.html

Just because it's free doesn't mean you have to put it on a public server for anyone to download. It's perfectly within the definitions of the open source and free software licenses to only distribute the software to paying customers.

Or maybe it's impossible to do this now because the internet has made it trivial to redistribute software, I don't know.
Yeah, that section of my post was poorly worded. I might edit my post a bit and fiddle with the wording.
Getting less done is a feature of the US system as initially set up, sure.

I feel that there are less pleasant failure modes of a too-big legislature than just gridlock leading to _less_ getting done:

1) "Everyone always votes the party line" as opposed to "nothing gets done", because there are too many things being introduced and no time to think about any of them. This already happens to some extent, but in general this seems like a problem that should get worse as the legislature gets bigger.

2) Confusion and chaos in the legislature leading to it having no power and the executive grabbing all the power for itself instead.

Yes, I realize those are somewhat mutually exclusive.
> So you only use 2.5 miles of a highway to get to and back from work - right? Should you pay for the entire highway or just the parts you use? So what if other people only use "parts" of that same highway? Does that mean we suddenly have huge gaps in our highways since people are only paying for the parts they use?

The irony is that society would probably quickly realize that it's a lot more efficient to just build a road than pay for the overhead of managing so many small individual segments.

To be fair, I assume the OP's point was that they would rather see a tax based upon their actual distance driven.
I'm wondering why doesn't the US implement a system like "Two-round system" as a part of electoral reforms because as I see it the current system in place is not fair for the electorate or even the candidates themselves.
That's why it's a bad metric - native born in the US is much more likely to be something VERY different, like Gullah people vs Minneapolitans.
I've spent last 3 years working with Xamarin and native iOS and Android apps.

Xamarin wins if you need something for Enterprise. A lot of entry fields, validation, integrations with SSO, Sharepoint, other rest API. If you use MVVM well, it will lead to ~75% of code reuse between iOS and Android. Even more with XamarinForms. No complex effects, no complex animations, just enterprise.

Native wins if you want to make it more beautiful for end-users and you need to have a lot of customization. For example, customize map, pins and callout views. You will hate everything if you do it in Xamarin. No code reuse here

In general, Xamarin has very great chance to be #1 choise when you choose platform for Enterprise development.

I don't totally buy the "Stop doing things you hate" advice. I've learned over the years that anything worth doing is going to walk you through the valley of drudgery at some point. Doing things well always includes aspects that you may not enjoy, but many times it is worth working on it anyway to get to the goal.

I've heard good things about Israel's security in this aspect. Has to be decent with all their enemies right next door instead of half a world away.

Unfortunately I'm not familiar with it or know if it would be viable.

Review publicly posted social media accounts for red flags, trained experts interviewing and talking to people.

Or just admit casualties from foreign terrorists are such a low risk and stop freaking out over it would be good too.

Cost spent on security should be proportional to lives saved in relation to spending on prevention of other causes of death to be honest.

How much do we spend on national highway safety (locally + federal) / lives lost in traffic fatalities * lives lost in terrorist attacks.

Don't spend more than that.

If you mean Be the change you want to see then OP simply has to post to HN with a strong bias towards his/her topic of interest?

I can't see that by merely choosing a topic you are passionate about, that it gets more up-votes, but this is the tactic I do see because by being passionate, by virtue, you post more, and so more upvotes are guaranteed?
No, you! If patronizing is the problem, you are way more guilty of it, making demands mostly devoid of explanations or references, insinuating a stereotype of an exclusive culture, while OP's intention is clearly inclusive (going by the title).

Edit: I have to redact a little bit, clearly "my girlfried" is possessive and exclusive, I feel slightly offended. I hope this sounds like sarcasm, although it is petty.
It would have the advantage of being able to see it for debugging. Nothing else beyond that that I can think of and multiple disadvantages.

Easy enough to setup an authorized senders list. Really any group with a significant number of recipients should have that or failing that some way for a user to remove themselves.
Yes, you are therefore a member of a well-defined breeding population (deme) and that membership gives us useful information immediately. Not only do you have a greater chance of getting certain diseases, your group also has higher intelligence, with a mean almost a standard deviation higher than gentiles. If race was arbitrary it would not give us predictive validity of that kind.
>Why not novice instead of your girlfriend? You don't even mention her in the articles so why cling to a distracting title?

Seems more like an advisement than an admonishment. Perhaps I should have said no one is rebuking them for it.

Either way, I don't see this as the 'political correctness police jumping on them'. It's not like people are organizing a lynch mob for the author.
Two predictions from me. (1) They sell out and it is the most popular MBP model to date, (2) They don't reduce the price in the future.

Apple is awfully good at knowing just when to extract that little bit more from their customers. And I suspect that similar to the USB-C MacBook the concern over ports will just be from a vocal but tiny minority.
The possible savings of the value of your time? If you can share even a small bit of code between Android and iOS, that is time you save in rewriting Java code to Swift or vice versa.

I can't tell you where that bar is, but especially if you are a solo developer it can be easy to undervalue your time spent porting your app between platforms.

Beyond that too, even though you don't develop on Windows now, using a cross-platform toolkit at least provides you the option. You might be surprised how many users [1] you can pick up by making a Windows version, and if it is as easy as add a couple more platform specific files to a mostly shared codebase you might get extra users for quite cheap.

[1] Windows phones have dropped to a low percentage, but that low percentage is still countable in millions of devices. Plus, the UWP continues to expand in number of tablet devices and desktops that support it, not to mention Xbox Ones and AR/VR devices.

> Are they charged the same as external customers or do they get a 'wholesale' rate?

Id be quite surprised if internal customers are charged a markup. Presumably the whole point in operating an internal service is that you lower the cost as much as possible for your internal customers.

> As internal clients, do they run under the same conditions as external clients? Or is there a shared internal server pool that they use?

From the above book, it seems that the hardware is largely abstracted away so most services aren't really aware of servers. I assume there's some separation between internal and external customers, but at a guess that'd largely be because of the external facing services being forks of existing internal tools that have been untangled from other internal services.

> Do they get any say in the hardware or low-level configuration of the systems they use? (ie. if someone needs ultra low latency or more storage, can they just ask Joe down the hall for a machine on a more lightly loaded network, or with bunch more RAM, for the week?)

As above, the hardware is largely abstracted away. From memory, teams usually say "we think we need ~x hrs of cpu/day, y Gbps of network,..." then there's some very clever scheduling that goes on to fit all the services on to the available hardware. There's a really good chapter on this in the above book.

> Do they have the same type of performance constraints as the ones encountered by gitlab?

Presumably it depends entirely on the software being written.
This is actually being actively questioned in court. MCD provides significant technology to it's franchisors with regards to scheduling employees. Unions are asserting that this scheduling means they are a primary employer, and thus a Union would be able to collectively bargain with the entirety of MCD.

I'm not a so called security expert nor I'm in the security business anymore, so please take this with a pinch of salt.

Isn't rate limiting a thing anymore? Especially for packets that should not be coming at this rate. 40k-50k pps? Who gets that amount of ICMP type 3 code 4 as a baseline to consider it normal? Also, many networks out there "deprioritize" ICMP packets.

I see how (mainly) Cisco seems to have screwed up on their ASAs, but in all honesty they've never been the paradigm of firewall security. Before the -X line, which is when I was a very active user of ASAs, the interface buffers of almost any ASA up to the 5580 were insufficient for some kinds of traffic that generated high pps with not so huge bandwidth.

Actually, now that I think about it, I wonder if this "Black Nurse" is partly the result of the ASA's insufficient buffers and not just an actual firmware issue.

All in all, this feels very amateurish to me and I'm surprised people are buying into it - I guess doom and gloom sells pageviews. I mean, if their conclusion is the below, I don't see how this is making so much noise:

"We believe,that what we see when our customers get hit by the BlackNurse attack is that the firewall admins have just followed recommendations or misconfigured firewalls. Mitigation on firewalls could be to change default config or to patch any code that can lead to a DoS state."

It's amusing how many people continue to suffer from a solved problem. Any email system that resembles Gmail in its most basic form, won't have any such problems. 100 people replying-all to the same email? Oh hey, they are all lumped together into a single thread which you can easily ignore. Don't want to see any more emails from that thread? Oh hey, you can just hit the mute button on that thread, and you will never see any more emails there.

It boggles my mind how many people and organizations continue to use outdated crappy systems when vastly superior alternatives have been publicly available for over a decade.

I wouldn't want my manager to speak to me the way Linux spoke to Mauro. I also wouldn't want my manager to tell me to program in Java. I also wouldn't want people to do to me a lot of the things they do in the bedroom. But as long as they don't do it to me, and the people who are doing it are freely consenting, I do not consider it my place to tell them what they may or may not do.

Thought the title was saying poor people buy parking to alleviate their feelings of not being able to afford a car. Seemed like an interesting sociological phenomenon.
Yeah I'm very convinced this is going to happen. At the same time, at least for me, I can't afford to wait for this utopia of single-connectors. I need to be able to plug in my daily cords and the last time I had to deal with dongles I lost them all over the place.

I do think it was a big misstep that their flagship, brand new phone can't connect to their flagship, brand new laptop without an adapter that has to be bought separately. I also think they could have done it in a more phased approach without losing anything. But ultimately it will turn out to be a good decision.
I've been thinking this since the election results came in. A 1/3 chance to win for Trump is entirely within the realm of possibility, and a Trump victory doesn't mean that the model was wrong or even that the probability was wrong.

For instance, suppose I give you a three-sided die with faces labeled 0,1,1. I tell you that there's a 1/3 chance you'll roll a 0 and a 2/3 chance you'll roll a 1. You roll the die and get a 0. You can't then conclude that I was "wrong" about your having a lesser chance at a 0 than a 1 just because you rolled a 0. It was always entirely possible that you'd roll a 0 despite it being the less probable result.

(Totally off-topic, but this made me think of what a three-sided die might actually look like. Here's one: http://www.shapeways.com/product/RBVF4Z6JY/modern-art-d3-3-s...)
> We all respected each other as both friends ...

There's a common thread here: if you already know for sure that someone has respect and/or affection for you, harsh language from them just reinforces that, precisely because talking that way to a stranger or acquaintance is hostile.
I agree that it is wage theft the majority of the time. I had a previous gig that paid a 20% salary bonus for months you were on pager duty. If the pager went off, you got a 10% weekly bonus that increased with each incident up to 40% maximum. People fought like cats and dogs to get on pager duty at that place...I wish more businesses took that approach.

Most of the problems of resident-permit systems come from the fact that they are inconstantly enforced, or that no spots are reserved, so that people arrive in an area where they have permits but cannot find a spot. This is a problem in the design of the particular resident-permit system - it does not mean that all such systems will fail. And, to me, resident-permits is indeed second-best to a system where the prices for parking are allowed to float, to balance demand with supply (and residents can be reimbursed by some share in the parking revenues.)

The only real problem with zero parking minimums is the possibility that people will park in places that other people were hoping to use (for parking, driving, biking, etc.) But all that means is that either rights have been unclearly assigned (as in street parking that doesn't officially belong to anybody), or a scarce good has been underpriced (as in 'free street parking' that's always full.) So, just assign clear rights, or adjust the price until there's free spots.

To me, it seems totally fair that the people who use parking should own it or pay for it (which are really the same thing). Why mandatorily bundle parking with other things if people don't want it?
You assume the outcome would be the same - I see no evidence to support that B > A. Given that A is the incumbent business model and form, B would have to be run for 5+ years to prove that there is anything there that can win consistently and also scale to the needs of the institutional investor.

Indeed, if you are a new fund starting out and seeking institutional money and are not coming from an established firm, you can expect to have to develop 3-5 years, minimum, of track record before anyone will generally invest in you. Given that any trader on this platform might disappear overnight, I don't see institutions rushing to put money into it.

no, its nowhere near professional level. for that you'd need clean price data, which is a business in itself.
Or, its possible to arrive at the conclusion that doing something about climate change would plunge billions back into poverty, starvation and death, and decide against doing those things.

>> 120 replies so far — meaning that more than 140 million needless emails have been sent across the NHS's network today. As a result, they said, its email systems are running "very slow today."

Is this 1994? That isn't my definition of email hell. 100 useless emails in my inbox is a bad day, but it certainly isn't a hellish one. And 140 million emails shouldn't slow anything down. That;s a drop in the spam bucket for any organization the size of the NHS.
Thanks for your polite response. I've seen references debating general suicide levels in Utah, USA (one interesting, later debunked I think), but I think people tend to believe what they want, and I haven't researched it. My personal experience seeing a wide variety of situations in my own family and others, including many problem types that people experience in life, strongly bears out the quote (Tolstoy?) that happy families are all alike, and miserable ones are each miserable in their own way. Following certain principles leads to the predictable results. We all have hard problems; having the life tools available to deal with them and use them as building blocks instead of being crushed by them, makes me feel very fortunate.

I hope you don't mind if I add, to to try to somewhat dissuade others' anger: Some people respond harshly when one who is not atheist simply says what one knows personally from experience. It's usually good to hear a variety of viewpoints. I just know what I see, etc and how it all relates. So I just try to keep going forward with purpose and direction, because I know where it leads, and the things I can't control will be OK eventually.
That may be too subjective. I mean, if I'm in another country, maybe local companies are more important?

Would you harass my friend for our friendly banter, since the fact that we are both 100% OK with the conversation is irrelevant?
