Your .bat files still work, and you can use the legacy terminal if you I insist. All they did was change the default terminal from the archaic one to newer one they first introduced as a the non-default option only a mere decade ago.

There is no reason to be dramatic.
I'm the CTO and I actually agree with you. We need to continue to make it easier to use. We want to set up Heptio so that motivations are aligned.

When integrating something like Kubernetes with existing systems and processes there will always be opportunity for additional systems and support that aren't easily built in the open. Often times these aren't fun things and so are harder to get critical mass in the open.

The first part of our plan is to help fill usability gaps for Kubernetes in the open. This will grow the pie and expand our standing in the community.

Commercially we will filling gaps unique to large companies around integration with existing systems and managing ops and dev relationships. Specifics here will have to wait until product is ready.

In general we have a value around "Honest Technology". We want to build products that just work and do what it says on the tin.

That's a bit different. The change only exposed that some scripts were already broken and worked by accident. Specifying that your script should be run with #!/bin/sh and then using bash syntax is what broke them. It's a bit like naming your files something.c, writing the code in C++ and compiling with `cc` just because `cc` happened to be linked to `c++` on your system. It will work for you, but don't be surprised when you distribute the source and people have problems using it.

Scripts that used #!/bin/bash still worked, scripts that actually used only sh syntax and #!/bin/sh still worked.
First class environments is one of my favourite features of Scheme, and I still don't understand why I've never seen it elsewhere.

However, it does make Scheme uniquely suitable for an embedded language, or turning Scheme into a host language.

This [0] sort of demonstrates the magic that first class environments add, and how they make re-writing a language, whilst its running, a breeze.

It gives you safety in eval, and means that the kind of methods that other languages need to use to create, say a Flask-like API, are just plain overkill.

Bad for you != bad for the advertiser, and bad for the advertiser is not necessarily correlated to annoying to you.

While your particular case may need just one coffee machine, there are other scenarios. If you just bought a coffee machine, perhaps it will be defective and you'll need a replacement. Perhaps you didn't know about the one they're showing you and will return the first one to buy this one. Perhaps you are just getting into this coffee stuff and realize that a second one for the office would be nice. Perhaps you're buying a few to compare them.

It could be rational to show you the ad instead of a random individual if the sum of these scenarios is greater than the rate at which random individuals buy coffee machines.

Or, yeah, it could be that their ad-showing algorithm just tells them you have the word "coffee" in your recent browsing history.
My wife and I did the same for all of 2014 and 2015, living out of airbnbs, one month to the next.

Nothing but amazing people and experiences and nothing but 5 star reviews in both directions, with us singing Airbnb's praises all the way.

And then last week, I tried to find a place for new year's, and discovered that Airbnb had deleted my account without notice and without cause. It is impossible to contact a human being without an airbnb account, and we are effectively blacklisted from doing business with the company.

Checking online, this is hardly an isolated case, so do yourself a favor and have a backup plan for that eventuality.
Which "proven email client" do you recommend? There's an Import/Export extension for Thunderbird, one of the last standing desktop mail apps, but it's not good at handling huge, multi-thousand message exports.

Just to be clear, I am not specifically claiming the devs are doing this, but somebody with an interest in ZEC performing well (and money to burn to prop up the price) has been.

My work laptop still runs Windows 7 - and will for the foreseeable future - but that is one of the things that make me curious about Windows 10. It is, of course, easy to ridicule Microsoft for how long it took them to change this, but I think better late than never.

(On older versions of Windows, ConEmu[1] does that, too, but it's third-party software, of course. It also supports tabs!)

What if you are afraid of extreme sports? What alternatives would you recommend?
I am a fan of change. Likely similar to the parent of your comment, I am a fan of change when I can control when those changes happen.

With Windows 10 I am sadly realising that I have very little control over when things change and even less knowledge of what those changes will be. For software, this is a nightmare. As a maintainer, I will never know what changes are going to affect my software if I am not informed.

As a user, I no longer know when a feature of my computer that I use daily will disappear. If I used cmd yesterday, will it disappear tomorrow?

Who wants to be the passenger let alone the driver of a car if it steers and accelerates randomly despite your best efforts to steer it and drive it? Would you get in a car that removed the gearstick without warning? Would you really want to be in a car that accelerated and steered at whim?

This is what Windows 10 feels like, particularly compared to my 20 years of using Windows prior to it (Win3.11, 95, 98, Me for a day, XP, Vista for as little as possible, 7 for a lengthy time). With each of those releases, updates were applied by me in a timely manner, with the crucial point being that I could apply updates when I found it applicable for my own personal machine. I could read up on the release notes for each update and service pack to see what was changed.

With Windows 10, I get updates applied in a phantom fashion and do not know what they contain. It's like Apple's vague "fixed an issue" release notes.

EDIT: I must state that the removal of features is not unique to Microsoft, given that sweeping changes affected my Mac after every release since Snow Leopard. However, the key difference is that with Windows 10 you will never have control over when things are installed (unless you use some of the finer controls for updates available with GPOs in an enterprise; still what's the point of having an AD when you don't have full control over the endpoint systems?)

Yeah, it takes a bit of scrolling, kinda like the other EMR/HIS software that was on HN last week[1].

At the very least it isn't locked to CentOS 6.7 specifically, but GNU Health & Bahmni will likely never displace Epic or the other major players due to HIPPA & PCI/DSS compliance requirements, the latter of which causes most merchant processing platforms (like First Data) to outright reject any libre or shared source commerce system looking to integrate with them for payment processing.

Quotes:

> All human activities can be described by five high-level components: data, prediction, judgment, action, and outcomes.

> When the cost of a foundational input plummets, it often affects the value of other inputs. The value goes up for complements and down for substitutes.

-------------------------

The Cost-Per-Observation [1] has been on a race toward zero as I and others have written about. That covers the data portion of the author's five level components of human activity. What they are asserting in the article is that machine learning is going through a similar cycle and will become cheap and ubiquitous. The author's reassure us that although it will decrease the value of prediction (for example diagnosis) when visiting the doctor's office. It will increase the value of the other components, that is judgement and action.

I am not so sure that judgement and action are not on the table as well for commodification. In the case of self-driving vehicles we clearly need the car itself to take action (drive) for this to be real so doesn't that imply that the intervening step of judgement has also been covered? And, if we are encompassing and automating the full chain from data to prediction to judgement and action for the task of driving a vehicle why should we trust reassurances that judgement will increase in economic value as the price of prediction falls in other industries and activities?

Interested to hear the reflections of fellow HN readers.

Do you know of any compelling reason, instead of problem fixes?

Because the language is a bit archaic (has maintainability problems for large codebases, has the "too little power" problem for small codebases); as far as I have looked, the ecosystem still does not include a good templating system (although it does include most of the tools available on other web ecosystems); and the community is still heavy on applications with the same kinds of security bugs they always had, and many, many "X-only" developers.

And, anyway, fixing those outstanding problems can only make it an ordinary language. And there's no reason to look at any language that the best claim is "it's not worse than any other random language".
I guess that's better :)

To expand a bit on my previous comment, the sad part is that even though we know that the topic is not really controversial scientifically, we somehow, subconsciously, refer to it as one.

Elections and all that.
Fake News
Thank you for this.

I've been a WCD member since 2010. It was my first private tracker. I enjoyed the flavor of the WCD atmosphere, could taste the quality of volume after volume of the essential, goofy, ridiculous and down right trash this amazing site had to offer. What's the old saying? "One man's trash is another man's treasure". From sublime to sensuous; from ordinary to extraordinary; from books to manuscripts, with a keen eye and a sense of self worth, the world was at your fingertips. What.CD was more than just a music site on a private tracker. It was a community...a family! There were people who had resources of commonality and rarity that if you knew how to connect, maaan you had the world on a string.

I refuse to believe such riches are lost forever. WCD will be back in one form or another, and when it returns I hope to be there to greet the new with an open heart and open arms!

Yes, this is what the term "global citizen" means.
Hi pcwalton,

1) If you dropped semicolons like Swift, you could keep implicit returns.

I just don't see the advantage of having them in multiline functions at the cost of having to retain semicolons. IMO, a trailing value after a multiline function also just looks plain bizarre for newbies.

I agree it's probably too late for this, but you asked how Rust could be easier to learn and this is one of the ways.

2) It would certainly be much nicer to have this.

3) See Swift for an example of where this was done more nicely IMO than in Rust.

4) Unfortunate. Splitting out a helper function means we lose Rust's inference which already exists when used in a let statement, and requires adding dependent crates from libraries to the binary's Cargo.toml and importing them into the module and hard coding the types. The client shouldn't have to care about this.

5) Great!

I still enjoy the language just the same, but you asked how it can be easier to learn and this is how I see it.

They just want social media to do what main stream media has been doing since William Randolph Hearst.
One approach would be to define an ABI-like interface above the kernel layer which all Android userlands would adhere to. It would specify the functions for libraries like libhardware and libstagefright, as well as the GLES or Vulkan extensions needed to be supported. Google would takeover software updates against this certified base, with the OEM providing the base system for their hardware.
It's a fairly common practice for states in autocratic regimes to force foreign businesses operating in their country to cut them in on the action with currency hijinx. Currency exchange rates are often purposely kept low for precisely this reason. Even if it's the exchange company ripping them off, at least half is going into some bureaucrat's pocket.

It's a cheap way for the regime to reward supporters without actually having to come up with any real dough. Anyone supporting the regime has safe, easy means of exploiting currency arbitrage whereas ordinary people are policed heavily. Show up at the airport with a suitcase full of US dollars and depending on your political status the customs agent will either close it back up and send you on your way, or perp-walk you straight to jail after confiscating your haul. (guess where it's going?)

It's also why one of the first demands the IMF makes on broke states before they'll lend them money is to let the official currency rate float.

All modern scifi movies have these completely transparent phones/tablets. If you have light in the back those would be unusable it seems. The Xiaomi phone looks just like the next iteration of making phones bigger screen wise, thinner and bezel-less.
There is no reason why both cannot be true. You should expect that there are FSB accessible backdoors/0-days.

There's a quote in a jump plane that I really like: "you just have to get comfortable with fear"[1].

> What alternatives would you recommend?

Anything that requires you to be 100% focused on the task at hand, or physical exertion (or even both).

The catch is that you need to feel satisfaction from it, and humans suck at predicting what activity is going to give them satisfaction, that's why it's best to just go ahead and try different stuff, see what works.

You can usually tell within the first few minutes if it's for you or not.
