The term "blowing smoke" has a similar origin. There is an outdated and defunct medicinal practice of blowing smoke up one's rectum as a sort of cleanse. The of course turned to be of, uh, dubious effectiveness for curing ailments. Hence the modern term, blowing smoke, which means someone is bullshitting you.

> perhaps it's because it's less important to those of us who live really far from Greece

I'd argue this isn't true. Greek yogurt has distinct style and ingredients which, when I buy Greek yogurt, I expect in my yogurt. Anything else is not what I want to spend my money on. It's like feta cheese. Real feta cheese is made from sheep's milk and not cow. It's completely different if made from cow's milk (not the same taste nor texture).

There are a number of factual errors with this article.

"He found dozens of made-up articles about Mrs. Clinton kidnapping, molesting and trafficking children in the restaurant’s back rooms."

There are no articles that claim Mrs. Clinton has been doing this. Not dozens - zero.

"While Mr. Alefantis has some prominent Democratic friends in Washington"

Yeah, and the Titanic was just a boat. Alefantis was named one of the Top 50 Influential People in Washington D.C. by GQ magazine. Because he is. The article mentions this later.

"was a supporter of Mrs. Clinton, he has never met her,"

This is highly unlikely. Not only has he visited the White House hundreds of times, he received a personally signed letter from Hillary Clinton for catering at a fundraiser at John Podesta's house. He displayed this letter on his Instagram, along with many images of children that raise plenty of red flags. Why not link to these and let readers decide for themselves?

"Amanda Kleinman, whose band, Heavy Breathing, has performed there several times, deleted her Twitter account after the abusive comments became overwhelming."

Perhaps the author could link to some of Amanda Kleinman's videos which contain single frame images of torture, famous pedophiles and child exploitation images?

"His customers include some high-powered locals, such as Tony Podesta, the brother of John Podesta, whom Mr. Alefantis knows casually."

Casually? Then why are there photos of them together at functions at Comet Ping Pong? John Podesta's emails have conversations which are highly disturbing to the casual reader. Why not show us some examples to see what the fuss is?

At this stage, all evidence for there being a pedo ring operating out of Washington D.C (with Comet Ping Pong playing a major role) is only circumstantial. But there is a LOT of it, literally hundreds of data points.
But you can't just say that then say "I do not want to go into specifics". Especially when your citation is "day-to-day reality", which is something that literally none of have exactly in common.

The media you read will not match your day-to-day reality, because it is impossible to match everyone's. That doesn't mean it is factually incorrect.

I may not be speaking for every individual whom considers themselves libertarian when I say this; Libertarian-ism is synonymous to Constitutionalist, here in the USA, so with that in mind I reference you to the U.S Constitution. Specifically, the 10th Amendment and the power it gives you the individual withing your state to make the laws of your concern so as long as they do not infringe on civil liberties; each state is a democracy of its own.
In other words stop generalizing Libertarian-ism in a negative way, for it would only reflect on the failure to perceive the power the people have. I care for food regulations, environmental laws, and even social programs, just not the one's ran by the Federal Government.

Don't judge each day by the harvest you reap but by the seeds that you plant.

If you come over I can give you some <:p, I've had the same plant for almost 10 years, Once my mother and I were deep frying some fish and she kicked the oil over into her shoe, that aloe plant was used to help sooth the burns... interestingly no scars on her feet from that incident.
The other hard part with trying to learn piano from pop is that most of the available arrangements of current hits are trying to transcribe the hit recording rather than to put something on paper that is comfortably readable and playable.

If you want comfortable arrangements that a beginner will stand a chance of being able to make it through, you have go to back to hits from before 1965 or so. That's what I've been doing myself, but to a lot of people that's not too different than asking them to play something from 1765.
> IMO, Code golf is an excellent metric. Only someone who masters a language and knows its weird edge cases and obscure syntax can make sense of the answers, or attempt to present an answer themselves.

To me, mastering a language is knowing how to use it in a way to solve a problem in the fastest development time with minimal bugs and maintainable code which does not match up with code golf. C++ gives you lots of ways to introduce weird bugs which isn't something code golf demonstrates.

> So lemme ask you, can you name books (or courses) that teach C++, and devote a significant chunk (or any) of the material to cover such arcane syntax topics?

The C++ Programming Language book and Effective Modern C++ are good and they're full of "don't do this or something bad will happen!" parts. I'm not really concerned about a few arcane syntax problems but I am concerned that C++ has a lot of undefined behaviour that lets you shoot yourself in the foot in a way that other languages avoid.
That is exactly how I started out. If I had been born in the USA I would never have been able to go to university.
Funny, I also implemented mine a while ago (mostly un-maintained but I still use it): https://pypi.python.org/pypi/virtualkeyring/

I also thought I was clever and the first to do it ;)

I have been thinking about adding support to keep some state info in a yaml file to deal with revocation and specific varying password policies (e.g. in a dropbox synced folder) but I was too lazy to implement it. If someone wants to do it please feel free to send a PR.

The compromised master password issue is a real issue though.
It's the ability to create arbitrarily many "anyones" that's the problem. "One fake account, one vote" is what kills reputation systems.

While I do not care if my Greek yogurt comes from Greece anymore than I care if my Italian sausage comes from Italy, I do care that my Greek yogurt actually is very low in lactose as someone who is lactose intolerant. Most brands are fine, some are not and I question if they're really Greek yogurt.
Ehh. I disagree with both Default Permit and Enumerating Badness--I think they have their place. If I run a club do I background check and whitelist every customer? Or to a blacklist the troublemakers? The problems cited in the article were reasonable decisions at the time, but years later grew into headaches when the use-cases changed.

Does their no Default Permit policy apply to network egress? Do I have to approve each and every application that wants to connect to the Internet? I think the leaving port 80 open because it was whitelisted is why so many things tunnel through port 80 instead of using other protocols and ports. Now how do you filter and whitelist traffic?

His example of antivirus products using Enumerating Badness is a market failing more than anything else. I'm not sure I see the alternative for a naive user. Call a specialist to investigate their use-cases and "open the system" to accommodate? Any time you want to update your tool or workflow or try something new have that specialist come out and reevaluate your system?
I'd guess he doesn't mean cached, but instead means that his web browser works with this system keyring (or has its own) to save/use the passwords.
If you want to understand how this works, you can find some example in some other thread that was started a bit ago but I think it got moderated, here's the link to it: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13016561

Yes, but forking on GitHub means that initially it will be just their software.
Assuming a properly engineered device, the battery shouldn't actually be constantly charging. It should intelligently switch between power sources, as well as enabling and disabling charging of the battery as needed.

I think what is more of a concern would be the possibility that some laptops now tend to unthrottle the CPU when on AC power (or more accurately throttle their already LV CPUs when on battery), which can mean the internal temp gets pretty high and can be bad for the battery.

That being said, we have no guarantee that the power management is being done properly, but Apple seems to really have a handle on the power usage of their devices (even if they can't quite figure out their connectors or software). It's definitely a concern on lower end laptops.
It sometimes includes screens, sometimes not. I usually sit in a coffee shop before work and read, pray, think, write, or whatever I feel like doing. Sometimes I work on a side project. The point for me is to have time to sift through my own thoughts, rather than going through the whole day simply reacting to outside forces.
I already posted to the original but thought I would chime in. I like the idea of guiding someone through some code with a narrative. Your tool is very helpful for this.

I have a similar tool but it allows the comments to be added to the code as it evolves:

The main difference being that the context of the comment is always in line with code at the point the comment is made. One other difference is that a person can add drawings and audio to their comments.

Not a "little known" feature, it is the feature that lets you plug your head phones into any of the 6 jacks that it looks like it fits in on the back of your computer and the little pop up says "Are those headphones you just plugged in?" you say yes and that jack is retasked as as headphone jack even though it was the subwoofer output according to the legend on the computer plate.

Its a "feature" that they have sold to a lot of manufacturers as an ease of use thing for people who are frustrated because they plugged in their headphones but get no sound.
Show HN: Copy an innodb database from server to server in one command
Same issue with my U2713HM when I let Windows go to sleep. I have only one of them attached to my desktop, but Win10 likes to set all my open windows to a small size when sleep happens. I guess the monitor get's reported as turned off and Windows starts up a 1024x768 "emergency desktop".
You don't even need to disconnect the ear bud, just tap it. The voltage pulse from an audio signal is sufficient. Back in the days of rotary phones I used to show off how to dial numbers by simply tapping the receiver on the table.
I guess, I confused it with the batteries amount of charges before decline.

good to get it confirmed here.
I think it's really important to understand in order for a truly free market to succeed, is to have absolute transparency. The libertarian ideal of a free market includes transparency.

I believe that the most important thing to regulate is transparency itself. It is almost as if market regulation as we know it causes gaps in regulation in other parts of the market, and things like this happen. The consumer should be able to verify the complete supply chain of every product they purchase.
Unfortunately when it comes to reputation, you're only as good as your worst offenses portray you. It's very hard to make the argument that "most of it is good, so there isn't a problem."

A scientific journal doesn't say "hey - we only occasionally let through a few articles without peer review; the majority of our content is peer reviewed, so we're ok."

Even the most "trustworthy" US-based news organizations have lost a lot of credibility in the past couple of weeks. And yes, there have even been a fair number of cases of deliberate and calculated lying - all without corrections or retractions.

Or, you know, keep trusting these companies (not knowing which stories are "mistakes" vs truth). I'm not going to stop anyone from trusting a source of information just because I don't trust it myself.

Still, the point of my original comment is more about how we deal with it in social media. I have no problem letting the market decide what to do with media organizations.

Atrocious syntax.
That's the thing, I was writing what you call infrastructure software, powering large telecoms of Europe, going super deep with transaction processing, ensuring ACID down to cluster failure level, high availability, and often there were some "tabu" areas nobody was allowed to touch because they simply worked somehow, nobody understood consequences of changing them in production and they were just too critical to do something about them. And they were written in an absolutely horrible way with no documentation nor comments, probably spewed out during a week-long night shift of some once-in-a-generation genius in Santa Clara. According to you, (s)he should have been fired because the code wasn't maintainable (nobody was able to understand it down to all details as it would require top-end education in distributed algorithms, formal verification beyond mere PhD), yet was powering half of the world and made the company insanely rich.
It's very rare that whatever you learn in school changes your consciousness. Very rare.
Having hired a UX designer that had never coded, it was a very frustrating experience.

I enjoyed the high-touch with customers approach that they brought to the table but when it actually came to implementation it was as if I brought an astrologer to an astronomy meeting -- a lot of the same words were said but neither knew what the other was talking about.

There was just no sense of proportion on the UX side.

I am not saying a UX designer needs to code in the course of doing their UX work, but I do think they need to know how and have had some experience in it. Otherwise, the distance between saying something and doing it is too great.

"I need to write code to get things done. "

Yes. But their cultures are a little different.

C++ I think is 1/2 academic, 1/2 Engineering - with a lot of voices, and a lot of anachronistic 'grey beards' arguing over stuff. Even for Java, James Gosling said 'Sun less less a company than it is a debating society'.

Scala is almost purely academic - but driven by a single person / small team. Scala was not designed to solve an Engineering problem, thus it seems a little 'intellectually masturbatory' (pardon the term).

Scala is way to hard to learn - partly because it's a 'new paradigm' but partly for the reasons aforementioned. So it's only going to make it's way into production for specific entities.

Scala may have a 'big future' if tutorials, training and approaches settle down on commonly accepted standards and practices.

The primary method of computing remains entrenched in Windows, macOS, iOS and Android with a mix of keyboard, pointer and touch input.

I'd rather not think much further in that direction, to be honest. :)
I'm not replying to the article, I'm answering a very specific statement in the comment I'm replying to. Hence why I quoted it.

Do we want to not get the flu ?

I really hate getting the flu ... I hate feeling terrible for 12-24 hours, I hate missing multiple workouts ... hate hate hate.

However, in recent years I've stopped my (seemingly ineffective) efforts to avoid the flu at all costs and further have started to appreciate the positive effects that getting the flu every 12-18 months might have.

In an otherwise healthy adult, what puts your immune system through it's paces - what gives your immune system a workout - like having the flu ?

What happens to my immune system if I don't give it that thorough workout every year for ... say ... 40 years ? What kind of immune system do I end up with at the other end of avoiding the flu for a large chunk of my life ?

Related to that, what else gets killed every 12 months when my temperature goes up to 102 or 104 for half a day ?
Keep in mind that address parsing is only one piece of the puzzle. A good library can parse out address components with some degree of accuracy but unless the address can be verified, the result is worthless in many cases. In order to get accurate results, the library must use up to date, real world data.

The best options are commercial: ArcGIS, HERE, Google Maps, SmartyStreets, etc. There are free options such as OpenStreetMap, Census TIGER, and Open Addresses but in my experience the results are unreliable.

Wars against arithmetic don’t end well. - Walter Russell Meade
Calling people, checking facts, and getting quotes are also tactics to push an agenda. Most of the lies in the media are omissions they make, associations they imply, and opinions they insert. For example, the New York Times recently wrote edit:published an article about Jeff Sessions' civil rights issue with schools. They talked about Alabama's history of segregation, mentioned segregation over and over again, and talked about how he continued the problems inherited by the legacy of segregation by refusing to raise taxes to give schools more money.

What they didn't mention is what he did instead, which was to desegregate schools. There's good evidence that desegregating schools is the most effective way to improve them. You have to admit it's a little dishonest to throw the word segregation around over and over again in response to someone following a strategy of desegregation instead of your personal solution of raising taxes. It's a strategy that would make Orwell proud.
It's a vanity metric, until you realize that for your business, it predicts churn.

A lot of SaaS businesses have proved this for their customer base and found it's worth driving by. If it's not true for you, that's fine.
