Generally speaking, self evaluation takes considerable knowledge, skill, experience and time.

To me, the update you provided didn't add clarity, but an additional degree of understanding what you're attempting to express.

Someone experiencing pure cognitive dissonance would not act manic, they just realize that there was a paradox in their reasoning that needed to be resolved.

Literally wanting to laugh and cry in series is an emotional response and to me, sounds manic. Emotional responses are a better predictor of understanding someone than reasoned expressions.
Well, to go back to cynicism for a moment, I think it partially depends on whether the ruling class has the basic sanity to relinquish enough of their power nonviolently that life for the masses can return to a tolerable norm. The French Revolution did not merely happen because inequality was too severe, but because of the "let them eat cake" attitude on the part of the elite. The English, in contrast, were once-upon-a-time willing to reform their system to reduce inequality rather than suffer yet another civil war.
Mark Shuttleworth is referring to the process to redistribute something called "Ubuntu".

The email from Mark seems extremely clear that Canonical's position is that there is no way to distribute a derivative of Ubuntu without 1) joining the Ubuntu community, and 2) asking for permission to distribute.

It does not clarify that all you need to do is remove Canonical's trademarks. It flat out just says that you can't distribute a derivative without permission.

Mark's email is a response to one asking for guidance on what would have to be removed in order to do perform non-infringing distribution. It doesn't ask Ubuntu to do this work of removal. It asks Ubuntu to identify what work needs to be done. mjg59 suggests that he will do the work, possibly by means of having his upload privileges to Ubuntu reinstated. That seems to be an indication of him being willing to do it.

The reply then comes from Mark stating that there is no work that could be done to enable this.

You could certainly create and distribute a tool that would strip trademarks from Ubuntu, and distribute both that tool and your hacked version of Ubuntu, as long as you don't call it Ubuntu.

That appears to be the sort of thing that mjg59 proposed to create, but was told that would never be allowed. Mark's email is literally a response to a request for clarity on what needs to be done to not infringe, i.e. how to do what you are suggesting is permitted.
But the question is: if all these databases are already in place, what is your objection to simply taking it one step further? Previous laws don't matter - laws get changed all the time, that's the whole point of government. A security liability? Maybe, but then all these databases already are.

So why, exactly, are you opposed to this? It's the logical extension of everything else that preceded it.

You will likely find that the answer is a discomfort with a scenario like the one I mentioned, which becomes a bit too trivial to achieve once this step is made. (Note that this has nothing to do with ethnicity, btw.)
This will push tinkerers towards open source games and away from commercial ones, which is a good thing for all involved.
Something like cargo, but for C++ projects.
Comparing people who were trying to remind what the whole affair was really about (corruption in journalism) to antisemites.

Well, it was hard to beat mjg59, but it seems you've managed to do so. He just censored them, in a childish way.
I have a really bad memory, but the part that affects me most is inability to remember conversations, even fairly recent ones (like the day before). Just zero recall of it ever happening. I'd love a way to quickly and unobtrusively log 'talked with Able and Baker about X Y and Z at such and such time and place'. Right now all I can think of is typing it into my phone or writing in a notepad.

But having such a solution, that I could review to improve recall, or search if necessary, would be lovely. Something quick and unobtrusive.
I'll second this notion that VMWare is better than VirtualBox. VirtualBox can get the job done, but you can tell where your money went when you purchase VMWare. It's significantly more polished and stable.
Uber is somehow ridiculously bad with giving directions. Despite manually entering the address for a number of places, Uber insists on directing drivers into unmarked alleys instead of onto the street outside. You know, the actual street that's named in the freaking address. Instead of invading their customers' privacy they could start by just using the information they've been given.
You are as wrong as wrong can be.

A lot of people here seem to misunderstand the nature of the hacks that these laws are targetting. The intention here is to punish those who abuse these hacks to gain a competitive edge when playing against others, which can be extremely sizable especially for FPSes. Professional teams also rely on the in game competitive rankings to scout for new talent, so this abuse can have further ramifications apart from brusing egos.
Not to belabor the point, but most children of illegal immigrants are dual citizens --US and their parents' home country.

However, the administration should consider these a lower priority but should enforce immigration policy so that we do not have as many of these cases come up. Basically continue the Obama approach but with better border security.
Sounds like the solutions needs to be orders of magnitude larger fines than the amount that would be gained. If each individual user is only losing $1-3, they won't or can't fight it, and the company also won't in many cases. If the minimum payout/fine for such a scam was, say, $100 per occurrence and that was written into all the contracts, there'd be enough incentive at every stage for companies to clean up their act.
Does the development environment have to be housed entirely on the phone itself? I ask because phones are too underpowered for most dev work. But, cloud technology is getting to the point where you can play AAA video games remotely with low latency using a modest computer as a client.

To extend on what you have, I think it would be really cool to have a phone app that brings up a remotely-hosted triple monitor dev environment when it's docked. The actual dev server could be anywhere and all you would need to access it, both at home and at work, is the phone. Kind of like a visual tmux.

edited: removed "which is why the many attempts at making desktop docks for phones have failed". There are many reasons they have failed, but not catering to devs probably isn't one of them. :)

> and for the editor auto indenter too.

The fact that you need an editor that parses C and adds in characters for you should send up a red flag.

DRY. I shouldn be working with human-generated code, not redundant machine-generated code. The only program I want writing code for me is my compiler.
Wait, are you saying insider trading laws are actually just extended use of fraud laws, but no laws specifically for insider trading? If so, I find that very interesting.

I was a Civil Engineer in hydrology. I built out a web app that integrated some local, clunky disparate software solutions so one could design detention basins in a matter of minutes to the local code (http://www.drainagebuilder.com).

I met with so much resistance from the local Regional Flood Control District that I finally walked away from the project (it was based on very local specifications, so the market was rather small). They ultimately "upgraded" the existing hydrologic component of what I was working on by making a web based form - but it was a step back from their desktop app (for one, it had no database, so the user is required to download and store hydrologic computations back to their client).

I have my PE but ultimately walked away completely from Civil. I understand why Civil is conservative - bureaucrats, especially those in public safety, are incentivized to always say no; such conservatism is not for me.

This is a good thing.

The less programmers work for free on proprietary game systems, the more they can work on open source games, where they don't face criminal charges and where their work enriches everybody, instead of a specific corporation.
The same place you find two people who can by consensus arrive at the best decision moving forward. The point of breaking a deadlock isn't that you choose the best choice but that you are able to make a choice which is strictly better than making no choice.

I'll give you one example. And remember, this is a timeline, not working backwards from JP is a paedo. I'm not adding credence to the claims, but they are remarkable coincidences. The sort which would get a visit from the police if it was me and my brother.

You read JP's emails for political reasons, you find known paedo / child trafficing jargon in them (Cheese Pizza is Child Porn, various flavours of food describe children etc.). So you dig a bit deeper and then you look at this photo [1] where they look very similar to the police wanted images of Madeline McCann. Wow that's weird.

So you look at his email and find that at the time of the abduction, JP is out of the country and someone else is replying to his emails for him, something that doesn't happen regularly.

And then you find he is friends with suspected paedophile Clement Freud, who lives 1/3 of a mile from where the McCanns were staying. [2] And that they knew each other.

The similarity is probably not a coincidence; Debord's book is the most significant text of the Situationist movement, which was quite influential in the New Left, particularly in the 60s.

It's meant to keep telemarketers on the phone and waste their time, but it sounds like someone was using something similar for international phone fraud.
I've been using Linux VMs for about 4 years now and love it. The portability between my Mac and Windows host is seamless.

As I do mostly web dev now, I even install Cloud9 IDE on my VM and now actually edit in the browser. The command line windows in Cloud9 was extremely robust and the editor is very, very good. It will be hard for me to switch back to something else.

I even have Cloud9 on a Digital Ocean droplet for one project which means I don't even need to boot a VM and just log in where I happen to be.
For general dev use in macOS I find that installing the GNU userland (through MacPorts) keeps me sane, "sudo port install coreutils moreutils htop gnutar" and then put /opt/local/libexec/gnubin/:/opt/local/bin at the start of your PATH.

Doesn't help much with dtrace though!
I never really had issues with copy/cut/pasting code and indentation until I started using pycharm, which _insists_ on randomly re-indenting code on paste, even if you disable it. In Pycharm, 'paste simple' is your friend.
I'm one of those guys that develop for a living (mainly from home) and play a lot. I love developping with linux, but need windows to play, so here's my story.
I tried a lot of things, linux with Wine, linux with a virtualbox windows guest, windows with a linux virtualbox guest, same with vmware, same with hyperv, but all were suboptimal to me, and I didnt really like having two separate environments for work and hobbies (although I understand some people may be more comfortable that way)

Finally, I settled on a windows 10, a linux guest under vmware with no desktop environnement (an ubuntu server + the Xorg libraries I need), and I just use an X server running under windows (the one from MobaXTerm, but cygwin should be fine too) to display the linux windows apps in my normal MS-Windows environment.

I feel like I have the best of both world, I can use visual studio, unity3d, under windows, and play with my steam library, and for work that needs linux (mostly my server-side developments, but also a non-trivial QT application that I sell for windows and mac, but actually like developping under linux). Thanks to the X Server, the apps running in the linux vm are displayed in Windows as if they were standard windows app.

Homebrew has packages prefixed with `g`, standing for GNU, that you can install to avoid some of the BSDisms on macOS.

Example: `gsed` actually parses whitespace the way I think it will; the builtin `sed` does not.
Multicast on top of MPLS isn't really a thing with respect to the backbone routers.
It's worlds better, but it screws up my mouse settings (with a Linux host). I have a fancy gaming mouse, so it's very annoying and noticeable, and I haven't found a solution yet.

> Their maffia style feature up-sales (oh you want the features that matter, start paying 8k a month)

They offer for more in their free plan than any other CDN of their ilk which I've used (good look getting Akamai for free!!). However if you know a service like CloudFlare that's as good as CloudFlare are and are as cheap as you suggest they should be, then I'm sure many on here would love to hear your recommendations ;)

> lack of responsibility flowing through their infrastructure, 'we do not host anything so we are not responsible' attitude...

That's exactly how the vast majority of the tech industry works though. No service provider wants to be held accountable for the illegal activities of a small minority of their users. It's like blaming the telephone companies because a terrorist happened to lease a line from them. Or blaming Google for automatically crawling a site which hosts warez. What you're asking is the in-house moderation at scale and that's unsustainable.

>If i use that mentality or reasoning when stolen or other illegal goods flow through my house or shed, the police will not accept that as an excuse.... facilitating criminals.

I appreciate no analogy is perfect but yours is further off than most. People shouldn't get access to your property without your concent so it's hard to argue that you weren't aware of the illegal activities happening in your house. However if you gave your house keys to friends who then went behind your back to distribute said content without your knowledge and knowing that you would disallow it if you were aware then you wouldn't be facilitating the criminals. CloudFlare offers an automated service at scale. Occasionally that gets abused but it's not something they condone. Blaming CloudFlare for that is like blaming kitchen knife manufacturers because some thugs used their blades to stab someone.
I was so excited when Microsoft demoed their Display Dock[1] for the Lumia 950s. It was the first step towards what you describe, a phone that becomes a desktop case when connected to the necessary peripherals.

I am also saddened that it seems like Microsoft is leaving mobile so it's unlikely we'll see a next iteration of this.

You're the one doing the confounding, between border control and mass deportations.

No western country conducts mass deportations, least of all of long-term residents.
Ok gotcha; so order is an alternated list of the three sources. This is a good default but you might be able to do something fun here - perhaps ranking stories based on their vote count stdev from the mean score might give an interesting list.

serializer is just a web app and lists stories in a sequential feed - while it has HN, reddit & slashdot on there it's kind of a different concept. It's more of a 'reader'/feed that happens to combine various sources.
In no world, except in HN bizzaro world where apologists justify anything a state does by saying..."in the US blaahbalah can already blahaha"
Until somebody decides to enforce the laws requiring verification eligibility of employment, I consider all this talk of illegal immigrants to be misdirection. Convict the criminal employers who are paying illegal immigrants under the table. That would force wages up. Punishing the folks who come into the United States to work hard is disgusting.

Apparently delirium is a common side effect of whatever they do in hospitals. I came across this link last month:

"Delirium: A Surprising Side Effect of Hospital Stays -- Often misdiagnosed as dementia, it can cause hallucinations and delusions" - http://www.nextavenue.org/delirium-a-surprising-side-effect-...

If you're lucky they'll feed you coconut oil (short saturated fatty acids are easily burned in the cells for energy) and the dementia will pass. If you're not lucky they'll give you "anti-psychotic" drugs to sedate you, or other interventions that ruin the metabolism. Many treatments have the side effect of ensuring the patient will never recover.
Yep, it was a cheap prepaid card from an Asian grocery store, so it just deducted the connection fee + minutes. I can't remember the cost, but it was likely less than a dollar for the call. I guess if you're hijacking hundreds of calls an hour though, it's a big business.
FPGAs in desktop/laptop computers. That would open all kinds of interesting possibilities.

Energy from nuclear fusion.

Highly dense electrical energy source. I want to see electric planes, phones that last for months, drones that stay in the air for days, etc.

Some kind of magical security system so we could return to native code instead of putting VMs on top of VMs. No idea if this one is feasible or how it might be achieved.

Cheaper IC foundries. I think there might be a market for old processes if they were substantially less expensive.

I worked as a consultant briefly for someone who was all proud to say he'd become a millionaire by his 30th birthday by running a photocopying business that he'd built from nothing.

I discovered some of the secrets of his success - my favorite being that when me and the IT manager had to fly to their other office to do some network stuff, I was a consultant, so I got a hotel nearby. Poor IT manager had to sleep in the company owner's spare bedroom, with a 9pm curfew (because the owner had young children), and no alcohol.

What is wrong with C++ for that? Works fine but maybe you have a specific case? What about C# or F#? That works fine as well for that purpose.
Just a note that as of Linux kernel 4.6, my Surface Pro 3 works practically flawlessly with Linux installed natively on it, so it may be something to consider, there's good deals on the SP3 on eBay and besides, the SP4 isn't much better.

Linux 4.10 will also support the improved Type Cover 4, (currently, support is there only up to Type Cover 3/SP3)
I also got the impression that the damage was done over years. Killing the bad bacteria now might not be enough to cure an existing case of Parkinsons.
+1 for using Vagrant. This lets you bring instances up and down much more easily. Also, for most things you need (like say a Rails/nginx stack, or a LAMP stack) there's a prebuilt Vagrant box you can start from.

Also, some modern IDE's have Vagrant support natively, which allow you to work transparently in whatever Windows IDE you like, and operate your VM from there.
Currently, I live in one of those large building complexes and have seen the related changes you bring up. The app has updated to show the different spots commonly used for pickup/drop off and I clicked on one of those instead of moving the pin every time like I used to.
