Hmm...none of that matches my experience. I opened them from Powershell or git bash and from Atom, maybe vim was involved. I don't remember the process of getting there, but I do remember it being tricky to find the directory where the Linux environment lived, but, maybe, a grep or find was involved. Windows Explorer was not involved.

I'm a 20+ year Linux user. I use Linux tools to find things and to navigate places. I guess if I were a Windows user, who does things in the usual Windows way, I might have received a warning of some sort.

I'm just saying it'd be cool if there were a warning somewhere in the docs about this issue. It wasn't something I expected. I mean, I don't have to worry about editing "Windows" files on my Linux system with WINE. And, I'm able to mount my Windows partition from Linux and edit files without fear of harming things. I assumed things worked the same way for WSL. It was a wrong assumption, but I don't feel like it means I'm stupid to have made it, based on the knowledge I had at the time.

Knowing more languages allows you to get perspective and info from more people. English has the most diverse perspectives because it is the de facto language of business around the world. Russian is spoken in... Russia. Knowing only Russian limits you to Russian information sources and perspectives.

There are no "legal" music stores that approach the breadth and quality of the music library that was available on what.cd.

As the music industry's revenue stream changes from music sales to low-bitrate streaming services, we will see our shared musical heritage regress to the pre-compact-disc era in terms of audio quality and long-term availability.

We'll be lucky if recorded music of today survives long enough to exit copyright and be added to public libraries before being lost forever, or at least before we lose the "master" recordings.
Uber Says Taiwan Should Let the People Decide Whether It Can Stay
And you let me know when mathematicians come up with ways to predict intractable processes. Sadly, dynamical systems are subject to similar undecidability and intractibility results as those affecting computer science. Biologists can't predict specific evolutionary adaptations, either, but that doesn't mean they don't understand the mechanics of evolution. Tracing the cause of a bug is much easier than predicting program behavior, but the fact that we can't predict a program's behavior doesn't mean that computer scientists don't understand the principles of computation. Intractable processes in general can be explained in retrospect, but not predicted.

I'm not saying you should consider every social research result valid, but you cannot dismiss a discipline that employs rigorous observation and the scientific method by employing nothing of even remotely similar rigor. The burden of proof is on social researchers, but they have carried it as much as mathematically possible at present. What you cannot do is ignore the evidence by closing your eyes and saying it doesn't exist, or by picking bad apples as example. It's like an evolution denier saying that evolution is bogus because there are no fossils or whatever, and citing as evidence some cases of fake fossils.

True, no arguing about that. I just wanted to point out that no music is really, really lost yet. Unlike with the Library of Alexandria, if the community wishes so, it is still possible to rebuild it. Even making it more, uh, fire-resistant.
Note that I dropped the word married here in my proposal. It would be a civil union, not marriage.

In any case, the legal advantages are things that make it easier to live together permanently. As far as I'm concerned, if we moved to my proposal you should be able to get a civil union just for that reason.

So, if two best friends or roommates want to have a civil union because it makes their life easier have at it. If irreconcilable difficulties occur, then they can sever the union in court much like today's divorces.

The ones "rambling on" are the conservatives. They invented this issue, and immediately started to legislate it. At which point people started objecting. Stop making laws about bathrooms and we all can stop worrying about it.

Mindshare may or may not be a finite resource but there is nothing suggesting that we are over-budget on that. But if that is a problem, again, your team created it. You are the party of legislating bathrooms and bedrooms. Own it.

Also, you may want to consider different news sources, as you seem to have a problem with repeating talking points instead of supporting your arguments with facts. This "out of touch" rhetoric is being heavily pushed by the right-wing apparatchik, and I am sure that you would rather be able to have your own opinions rather than the ones that the Party thinks you should have.

I see this sentiment a lot on HN these days. What's the reasoning behind it? If the temperature in my room increases, I'll go from feeling uncomfortable, to sweating profusely, to fainting, to death. Is there any scientific reason to believe that, say, a 4C increase gives us horrible outcomes, but a 8C increase will be "not much worse"?

Not hugely true. Blair's government improved the NHS and vastly improved the mess with Railtrack and decades of Tory underfunding of the railways.

They were more right wing than the proceeding labor administration which was what 1979? But then that's probably a good thing otherwise they'd never have been voted into office.

Parties have to shift with public sentiment and clearly Blair saw that and shifted to the New Labour ideology as evidenced by his 1997 landslide.

Primarily common snippets or tasks I felt were a bit verbose in Go compared to Java, or at least as verbose as Java.

> A 10x reduction isn't uncommon, unless the code wasn't doing much (or wasn't very large) to begin with. Either way, the reduction is quite significant.

I'll shoot your question back at you: do you have any specific examples to back your claim?

I don't like Java either to be frank, but I'm defending it because I'm not convinced by your original claim, i.e., Java has long compile times and is 10x more verbose.

Not any more now that no one writes real letters. How many people write letters, come to that how many people did write many letters even when it was the only way of doing it, not many I think. I'm 61 and I don't think that my parents wrote many more letters than I do and that is almost none.

So I think it wouldn't be hard to spin opening letters in just the same way as opening network packets. After all only people who are already unusual write letters and those who are different are automatically suspect.

People should be careful of what they wish for. Arthur C. Clarke and Stephen Baxter wrote an interesting novel on the consequences of living in a panoptic society, The Light of Other Days.
The restriction bit is absolutely correct. I'd guess that a good number of folks that learn on an automatic or take the tests in an automatic do so by choice or physical need, however. Folks have to take courses from a driving school, which supplies the car for both the training and the actual test.

I completely understand why it is a manual transmission holdout. Your anecdote confirms the attitude from my spouse (the native Norwegian) and others. A manual is just safer, both because of the mountains and the snow.

> No one goes around saying those languages are actually no more memory safe than C++ (or maybe you do?).

It's unfortunate that you've chosen to try and make the scope smaller by referring specifically to "memory safety".

As a result, this will be my last response to you, I just don't have the energy to go back and forth with someone who isn't willing to be honest in this discussion.

But to answer your question, those languages are no safer than C++. I can write a C plugin in both that contains memory leaks and various safety issues. And in fact, both projects have had their own security problems.

I feel the same way; although I've spent some time with both Gnome and KDE, I never developed an attachment to either of them, mostly because I felt that there was a good likelihood that mastering the Gnome of today might be a pointless exercise because if you sat me down in front of the Gnome of one year from now, it'd be unrecognizable to me.

Around the advent of Gnome 3/KDE 4 I also realized that I didn't really use any of the Gnome or KDE apps. If I want to burn a cd, I know wodim well. If I want to listen to music, I probably use my phone. The browser is the only desktop app that I use regularly, and that's fairly agnostic.

I've spent years tweaking rxvt Xresources, for example, such that I can drop it on a brand new machine and everything behaves as I expect.
I'm well past the point in my career where I'd be looking for, say, a better terminal emulator, or shell, or chat app or any of that stuff; the stuff I've got is working as well as I could hope, and when I need something new I can compose it from the abilities that the shell and the window manager expose.

The last big change I made was after I tried a tiling WM (Xmonad) for a couple of days and realized right away I'd never go back; that's been 7 or 8 years ago. Occasionally stuff changes underneath me in ways that seem somewhat capricious (Pulse Audio, Systemd) but I usually give that stuff a chance and try to adapt to it unless its absolutely unbearable.

I enjoy checking out the new stuff on machines I use at home for fun, but at work I treat the workstation as an instrument; I know what I want and almost everything has a reason.
Here's an article on Vox about a carbon tax initiative in Washington:

http://www.vox.com/2016/10/18/13012394/i-732-carbon-tax-wash...

It's an interesting article and is worth reading in full. But my takeaway from it is "environmentalists, and particularly wonky highly scientific environmentalists, are junior members of the liberal coalition. Their role in the liberal coalition is to follow policy and add support to it. Their coalition members are not interested in narrow environmental initiatives like a revenue-neutral carbon tax."

So liberals sink modest wonky proposals like a revenue-neutral carbon tax. Conservatives sink giant omnibuses that include environmental stuff in a package with redistribution and social justice stuff. End result: no environmental legislation.

I have a blog post going into more detail on the subject here: https://sandoratthezoo.wordpress.com/2016/10/19/scientific-e...

(1) Chevy currently plans to build 30k cars per year, a fraction of the Tesla build numbers, not even taking the Model 3 into respect. I wished they would plan for greater numbers as the electrical car market is large enough for both (and more!)

(2) The Tesla cars are profitable with a 20+% margin - they are growing with 100% year over year and that eats up any profits. There is actually very little government money involved.

(4) cash flow comes from 80+k cars sold this year with a $15 billion backlog on Model 3 orders.
I love Gnome 3. Just wanted to pitch that! Didn't used to, but the extension system, as it matures, is making Gnome 3 awesome!
I don't think so. If anything the alt-right probably believes that the media is already under extremely strict control by the left. The elections made it very clear that the majority of the main stream media is in line with Hillary/the Liberals/the regressive Left. Almost every media technology company is also perceived to be in line with that pro-liberal media bloc (See: Twitter's almost exclusive banning of right-wing rule-breakers, Facebook's pro-Liberal news curation, Google's perceived tailouring of Hillary search results).

The alt-right probably wants free speech above all, to the point where hate speech is permitted in much the same way that safe spaces are today.
> the semantics of pattern matching as an expression can be subtle, especially when paired with nullability

Could you expand upon that? If I can do this:

var area = shape is Line l ? 0
: shape is Rectangle r ? r.Width * r.Height
: shape is Circle c ? Math.PI * c.Radius * c.Radius
: throw new ApplicationException();

How is this, a collection of predicates and expressions, not the same?

var area = switch(shape)
{
case Line l => 0;
case Rectangle r => r.Width * r.Height;
case Circle c => Math.PI * c.Radius * c.Radius;
default => throw new ApplicationException();
}

I realise you work on Roslyn (and you said semantics, so my example may be a bit off), so I'd love the detail on why the above is problematic.

It needs to be a rational discussion. If we don't have unity then what do we get instead? If different nations aren't equal partners than what are they?

I do realize though how difficult it is for people to agree on these things, partly because of their beliefs that at times seem to override any rational argument. That's partly where we need more and better leadership to demonstrate that things can actually work out and be win-win.

Wind is almost 5% of US electric production.

Solar is finally ready to make a difference (look at the last 5 years of the table: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_power_in_the_United_Stat... ).

Adding 0.3% of generation each year isn't fast enough, but it's ridiculous to say that no one knows how to execute a move towards clean electricity and that it can barely make a difference.

And batteries are almost there as far as being affordable storage.

What.cd was pretty well known. It had a large userbase and items were leaked on there that made international news. A radiohead song was leaked before it was released, rumored to have been done by the band. COFEE a forensics tool made by Microsoft for law enforcement was leaked. And unpublished stories by JD Salinger that were forbidden to be publicly released until 50 years after his death were also leaked. So the site has definitely gotten a lot of publicity.
Isn't that the whole point of this post though? They've allowed you to edit files marked as "system files" despite a multitude of warnings, and now so many people have fucked up doing so that they've issued a stronger warning.

What's the solution? Put less warnings? Then you'd get even more people destroying their data. Put more warnings? Then you'd get more people complaining that "Windows doesn't let you edit what you want!".

It doesn't really seem like they can win.

A new law could do it. Of course Silicon Valley claims that they are so ingenious that it would be a crime against humanity to regulate them.
The problem is that these green energy politics are working within a artesic system of problems, meaning if you start for example the massive creation of bio-ethanol- you destroy by demand and supply jungle in other countrys (freeing carbon dioxide) and unleash social unrest (due to starvation - Egypt, Africa and the south America). The cost of re stabilization, eats via tax into the economy but is unable to reach the cost-creator, creating cascading instability's as the burden is shifted upon those who are unable to evade it.

Solar is fine though, once it paid back its energy production debt. I think bio-fuels should be taxed for the undoing of the distributed damage.

Mixed feelings never make for good punchlines :.)
