I think WPF is nice but has actually fallen behind a bit on binding vs. some of the web toolkits like React/Redux, Angular 2, Ember.

It's been a while since I messed with it, but MVVM didn't work so well for some kinds of things, which seemed to be why for example selected items property is often not a dependency property of MS supplied widgets (so can't be participate in binding). For example see http://stackoverflow.com/questions/22868445/wpf-binding-sele... (from what I remember this accepted solution also has a subtle bug of double notification (or was it lack of notification on one side?)).
It's a really nice app, I'm learning front-end so this will definitely help me.

Thank you for allowing Bitcoin. Many people don't have a credit card (everyone who has one gets it only because all the American companies require it, but I never needed one in the Netherlands or Germany, the two countries I have experience with).

Gendered Conversation in a Social Game-Streaming Platform (Twitch)
The argument that the only advantage of Electron is cross platform portability is not true. Electron tries to duplicate what is already a main stream approach for deploying backend services. The only reliable and sane way do have a stable backend is to explicitly control and isolate all dependencies of the backend services by using virtual environments, Docker or virtual machines. Most people no longer think that it is a good idea to run multiple services on the same server, globally 'pip|npm|bundle install' packages that one of these services needs and hope for the best.

Electron tries to do just that on the desktop. It packages all the dependencies that the application needs together with the application and installs them in an isolated app folder (not affecting any other app). It enables easy automatic updates of the whole environment without worrying that the update will break other apps or will not work because some user happens not to have some system library.

Sure, this is much earlier stage than with backend services. Ideally Electron could ensure that identical dependencies that are shared between different apps are not installed multiple times, the way Docker does it. Even without such sharing I think that benefits of the Electron approach justify additional MBs on disk.
Of course we are. The two things this MVP/Beta is testing are:

1.) Our backend abuse procedures and methods for profiling abusive users to keep them from coming back.

2.) Whether enough people will choose to keep a server by adding more time to pay for the free ones. Each paid server covers the cost of over 100 free 2 hour servers.

We will continue to adjust things based on what we learn and in the future we may add things like a requirement of a certain level of activity and history on Github. Combined with being able to profile abusers this would create a high barrier to entry for anyone wanting to abuse the service without adding a big barrier for legitimate users.
There is massive harm done by an intentional lie to a non public figure for no reason.

Would you consider that a good outcome?

Unfortunately not surprising, but saddening. "Our results indicate that female channels are characterized by words about physical appearance, the body, relationships, and greetings while male channels are characterized by game-related words. Male channels are also associated with many uncommon words, suggesting that the male channel chats are more diverse while the content in female channels share common words that signal objectification. In sum, both our exploratory analysis and classification exercise suggests that the answer to our first main research question — “are the chat messages that streamers receive gendered?” — is “yes”."

Both Smart Cards and HSMs can (and frequently do) contain FIPS validated cryptographic modules and can be USB devices. What seems to set them apart is content capacity and speed. A "HSM" can usually store dozens, hundreds, or even tens of thousands of keys and can do numerous cryptographic operations per second. Most "smart cards" can only store a few keys and frequently 1-2 operations per second.

Many HSMs also add advanced authentication capabilities, such as M-of-N access control and/or hardware authenticators (e.g. you need 3 of 5 smart cards to use the HSM). The other key feature usually found in HSMs but not smart cards is backup/cloning without exporting the key (in PKCS#11 terms). This means that the key can be moved between HSMs with all the protections in place. I've yet to see a smart card that does this.

If there's any modern case to be made for the electoral college, it's in these states. If they aren't all effectively faithless voters, then the founding purpose of the college is not true and should be done away with. Instead, it sounds like the faithless voters, should there be any, and if they defect, would vote for some other Republican. So it's not like Hillary would win just because Donald doesn't get enough votes.

If the election is questionable, the state legislatures can pick its Electors, and they should. That's what authenticates the process. Of course there needs to be more facts than just speculation there's been tampering or fraud; but the way these systems are designed, they may not have sufficient auditing to determine it, itself a big problem.
How does it compare to https://github.com/electrode-io
No, that is just not what happened.

Do you actually believe that the 'traditional media' just reports 'facts' as they are? Do you have no historical perspective whatsoever?? Because if they were just 'reporting factual truths' in this election cycle, that would literally be the first time they've ever done it.

In every election since I can remember, both sides have claimed, and many have believed, that the person on the other side was literally going to ruin the country and should they win the country was going to fall apart.

You happen to feel that way about Donald Trump. You're just as wrong as the people who thought that Hillary was going to start WWIII, and the people that thought Bush was going to try to become a dictator, and the people that thought Reagan was going to start WWIII, and the people that thought Bill Clinton was literally a murderer who killed state troopers and who killed Vince Foster, and the people that thought Obama was a Muslim 5th columnist, and on and on.

So there have always been crazies, getting obsessed with them or paying attention to them is pointless.

This time we have the 'alt-right', whatever that is, some make believe group created by being named in the media. I'm not sure where they are or who they are, but if you listen to the media they're 'out there' and they are rising.

So my advice is read some history, get some perspective, and move on as though nothing is really different than it ever has been, because it isn't.

EDIT: here is a video of the media 'just reporting facts': https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8NVVwZVd6ZM Look how stunned the 'reporter' is when they mess up and don't manage to cherry pick the clip to support the false narrative they are trying to reinforce..
> Don't forget American folks that in most of the countries over here we don't have free speech ;)

I wish people would stop reducing free speech to a US constitutional amendment.

Universal Declaration of Human Rights: "Everyone has the right to freedom of opinion and expression; this right includes freedom to hold opinions without interference and to seek, receive and impart information and ideas through any media and regardless of frontiers."

European Convention on Human Rights: "Everyone has the right to freedom of expression. This right shall include freedom to hold opinions and to receive and impart information and ideas without interference by public authority and regardless of frontiers."
I was thinking an advisory lobby like the AMA. Some respected organization that can issue statements others can point to as sane beliefs back by many in the industry.

Why haven't we hit "peak office workers" yet? The US hit peak factory workers in 1979. We have all this information technology and yet we still have all these people in offices.
What kind of WPF applications are you writing?

I'm just curious because I always liked WPF but I don't hear about too many people developing for it these days.
Have you evaluated using containers for this type of workloads? You could save a fuckton of money this way.
Glad you changed the title back, though it's kind of a moot point now. You're right that this story is getting a fair shake now thanks to a seperate post, though.

>As for "I find all moderator actions inherently distasteful except in the cases of obvious trolling", that doesn't rub me the right way at all, for two reasons. First it implies that most of our work is useless, and if that's true, we're fools, wasting our time. Alternatively, if it isn't useless, you're spending time here benefitting from all of it, in which case a line like that seems pretty smug.

Well, I'm sure you've got your hands full keeping up with spam and trolling and such, but fwiw I have disagreed (often silently) with probably 75%ish of the moderator actions I've noticed on HN.
Cmd+backtick only works if you're switching between windows of the same application; if you are, it works well. However, I find more often the case is that you're not. (In my case, it's usually between the terminal, the browser, and the editor, or some subset thereof.)

Cmd+Tab switches only between different apps, and brings to the foreground all windows of that app, even if only one is required, sometimes obscuring way more of the now-backgrounded window than desired.

I really miss having a key to switch to the next window in the Z-stack, ala Alt+Tab on Windows/Linux.
AFAIK there is no such document. The only sourcing for the slang terms was an anonymous 4chan post.

The similarities were rather striking. One pizza place even changed their logo shortly after the comparisons were drawn. This only added more fuel to the fire. http://i.imgur.com/GIRxh8r.jpg

Myself being a huge fan of conspiracy theory I've seen this before: the minds become focussed on finding evidence, discarding Occam's razor, and mining for all the nuggets. What remains are coincidences that appear too good to be random. Compare with the "backwards playing record hidden messages" hype. Once someone points it out to you, your mind starts hearing it too.

P.S.: The "hashes" found in the .jpg images were a dead end / the result of pareidolia.

This is getting close, but I don't think my dream machine is on the market yet - I'd really like something dirt-cheap, has has an ARM chipset running Debian/Ubunt and lasts for 15 hours on battery. A modern Tandy 100.

Are there any other machines like this, or are cheap machines like the post as far as it gets? I would have considered the ARM Samsung Chromebook, but it has pretty awful battery life.
The building manager is employed by the Strata, so in your case either the Strata bylaw already existed, or the Strata Council acted without explicit authorization. (Which they may have after seeing this issue regarding zoning.)

This is why AGM's, Strata bylaws and Strata Council meeting minutes are important to read, not just throw into recycling.
I understand we produced a TON of stuff, and I don't mean to belittle it, but to credit the success of the war on our ability to manufacture is an oversimplification of the actual events.

Of course we had more stable manufacturing post world war 1, where we took only 10% of the losses of the other developed nations, and 2% of the worlds population was wiped out. It's not surprising that a country who lost only 0.13% of its people was able to move faster and build more stuff than a country who lost 13% of its total population.

>The mainstream media and an awful lot of the internet (including the majority of users on this site) paint Trump supporters as racist, sexist, homophobic, uneducated, etc. on a daily basis, but calling spez a pedo is somehow beyond the pale?

Racism, sexism, homophobia and lack of education are not crimes, and never imply criminal activity that police actively investigate.

Pedophilia is not a crime but implies a proclivity towards actions that are a crime and that police actively investigate.

Yes, implying or directly accusing someone of harboring an innate proclivity for sexually abusing children does exceed in severity accusations of racial, gender, or anti-gay bias or lack of education. That people who proudly and on national media flaunt these attributes in themselves is evidence of such.

New Basecamp Pitches:

Do you enjoy not having any sort of best practices process defined in the tool because something is either "done" or "not done"? Does the concept of phases, or different disciplines working together on an issue sail over your head? Do you frequently ask things like, "Why do you need UX, and QA?" Would you rather just say, "F'in Devs are late again" without being called out on not having requirements or copy or design ready in time? Great, Basecamp is your tool.

Do you love hearing yourself talk in your daily status meetings where you go around the room asking people who would rather be working what the progress of each item is? Secretly, do you feel a tool that clearly showed the status of issues to everyone any time they logged in would threaten your job security and prevent you from looking busy when the VP came around? Great, Basecamp is for you.

Does the thought of actually understanding what is going on, getting a handle on the complexity of the modern office terrify you? And do you hate change, so much so that you still use your AOL account? When you go out to dinner, do you insist that they bring you a bladed-spork at every meal no matter the restaurant so you don't get confused as to which tool is for eating soup or cutting your steak? You'll love Basecamp!

Do you want all of your data in one place, free from being updated, or updating, or syncing, with other systems? Do you enjoy manually entering in information twice, or reducing highly skilled developers to typist / copy-paste bots? Is your favorite thing when you get to yell at others because you updated the dates or requirements in your tool, but not theirs? And, do you have no concept why tying issues to code checkins is valuable and productive for the company as a whole? Oh man, Basecamp is for you!
and did they catch this?
The problem is there is no really alternative. Or what alternatives exist to write good looking, cross platform desktop applications with reasonable effort? I don't think there really is one. Another think is the huge amount of dependencies typical electron apps have (or in general node applications). 500-1000 packages is not unusual. Thats ridiculous for a simple desktop application
Maybe it's unpopular opinion here, but why short term rentals are bad? I personally love short term rentals, hotels suck compare to them. I hopped over asia and europe with 4-10 days at one place at a time, using AirBnB and it was great. I want home-like experience when I travel, I don't want to stay in overpriced micro-rooms without kitchen where I can't even make a tea. Some people mentioned that condo inhabitants 'don't like living in a hotel', but what specifically is the problem? That many people are going in and out? I don't really know if it's the problem itself if those are decent people. And still most of the people would be full time If there are related issues, maybe it's best to address the issues (I don't know what they are though, nobody explained it)? Because AirBnb looks like a good platform to manage those issues, turn chaotic market into more sane and organized. I think best strategy would be for AirBnb and building-owners to work together, to keep asshollish visitors outside (they are the problem, not short term rentals itself), put more incentive for rent-givers to watch over who they rent appartment/house to, etc

P.S. I never was on another side of the fence (i.e. living in the building with many short term rental visitors), so maybe I don't understand/underestimate something.

This is a good thing. But I'm not celebrating over Airbnb's corpse or whatever. The first order effects of Airbnb are great.

It's a good thing to increase the number of travel accommodations so more people can explore the world. I like Airbnb's mission better than that of a lot of Silicon Valley startups.

It's unfortunate that, at scale, Airbnb becomes part of a larger problem: there is not enough housing in many major cities. This is an unforced error we are making as a civilization, because we have the technology to easily provide enough housing in an affordable way (elevators, concrete).

Due to the limited supply of housing, the price will be bid up by the most economically efficient use - shoving a stream of daily renters through your condo building's lobby at the highest rate possible. A better outcome would be new facilities dedicated for this use case.

When the pie is not big enough, we are inevitably going to have a lot of tough fights over how to break it up. In this case, the poor locals who can't afford a place to rent and richer locals who are annoyed by the foreigners in their condo building lobby are going to win out over the people who want to explore the world.
Not an expert but I think modern themes only style the top of the browser while traditional themes could style anything possibly including content.
A I mentioned below I'm wondering if it might work better if rather than likes you focused on "rejections" or people who felt the story was false. That would subject it to review and that would then trigger more rigorous inspection.

If you had wasted as much time as I have using Basecamp for the last 12 years you'd understand.

I was a HUGE proponent of their software up until like 2008... when better tools came out, and each new revision of Basecamp I feel like they are doubling down on their backwards-facing, lock all the data in one place, never play nice with any other tools mentality.
maliman, I found this: "Can I control who can ask and answer on Haash\'s support community?".

It looks like you're not escaping things correctly.
Idea might be the same. But execution is the one that really matters. Make a list of features. Really think if you need to implement all of those features right away. Prioritize by feature importance. If your execution is better than anyone else's, your product would be the one on top on areas where both products exists. Pricing would also matter.

Many of my ideas also existed when I first started to imagine solutions to different problems. But I realized execution really matters.

Take example of google search, macintosh etc. Search and personal computers did exist before those. Similarly PC market is over crowded. Product quality and experience matters a lot.

Keep building. It would be an experience. As long as you have one or more strong features that gives your product strong advantage you are in the good.
