this article... there's probably a reason it's published by the daily mail on sunday and self-authored.

This leaves more questions than answers and doesn't really make.a point.
While I get your point, I don't think data is clearly not information, it's just that the whole point of passwords is to be secret.
I said, "based on facts in evidence." A good faith reading of what I wrote would assume I meant a "reasonable" reporter who has done the journalistic standard in the US of cross checking sources, critically examining the information.

Also unfortunate because the python api in Autodesk Maya is in the maya namespace.

So this library would need to be installed as a separate name to be usable there.
The headline doesn't really match the conclusion. While the interrogations added and corrected information, in the run up to the Iraq war of 2003 the CIA analysis was dismissed and a tiny subset cherry picked to create a pretense for war. It is the nature of intelligence that you will collect a large body of information, and some of it will be false.
>For some reason, a lot of Turks still seem to support Erdogan. The West doesn't really care what he does, as long as Turkey takes care of most of the refugees. A disgusting European policy.

That's probably for the best. In the areas that there were leaders that West did care about (or pretended to, for control and resources) and actively intervened, they created hell holes of civil war, chaos and fundamentalism.
I'm sure this is what is happening. Income from readership of physical paper goes down, pressure mounts and even reputable news papers feel thsy have little choice... ask any journalist. It is brutal, earning a decent living is hard, earning it from actual quality reporting is impossible because the vast majority of customers can't separate anote article written in 10 minutes without any research or fact checking from the results of a 1 year research has undercover project...

So yeah, no surprise they deliver more of the 10 minute pieces and quality goes down. If we don't pay we get what we pay for - nothing. Hot air..
Specifically, Bush created government agencies that say between himself and the int lligence agencies, these were tasked with 'correcting' the intelligence he was receiving.

Bush wanted to believe that Iraq had WMD's, so he designed his administration in such a way as to make that conclusion inevitable.
That's bullshit. Banks are the ones with the highest friction and fees.
Fair enough, though I haven't run into (m)any situations where the driver not supporting JDBC 4.X has caused problems.

Now that Microsoft's JDBC driver is open source and on Maven Central I might switch to it, though thankfully MSSQL is starting to lose favor in my team as we become more familiar with PostgreSQL.
Great list! But I was perplexed by the text editors mentioned. Author claims to be looking at trend data, but seems to have a bias against Subljme Text editor. I don't know if there is some connection to Atom or VSCode, but it seems easily verifiable that Sublime and vim are vastly more popular than other editors mentioned, yet Sublime is inexplicably absent and vim is mentioned last and sort of offhand as more of just a tool you have to know for ssh sessions.
Which Im saying didnt happen with Iraq.

So where the reasonable reporters then, and why should we believe anything has changed.
Firefox does this too; I had assumed all modern browsers did these days
Unless their claims are independently verifiable, is there anything they can say that won't be suspect?

That seems to me to be the problem we face now. We built systems on top of layers of corruption, that corruption has been laid bare, the Internet has made it so I can consume it using Wikipedia alone.

Now that our confidence is shaken, who do we trust? And, who with authority doesn't also have an agenda about which they might not tell us?

Perhaps most importantly, how do we reconcile believing in a corrupt systems that have the capacity to sacrifice us just as soon as they'd protect us, versus the threat that distrust thereof weakens our overall cohesion?

as long as it's based on evidence and in good faith, it's not 'fake news'.

Infowars passes that test.

It's the job of the press not to take things at face value. That's why the US has laws protecting the press, so it can go up against the government. If they are not doing that then they have stopped being journalists and started being paid propagandists.
It was reasonably clear out here at the time that going into Afghanistan wouldn't deliver a clean, glorious war that would ensure Bush's reelection.
... because he's hocking a book.
I'm glad to hear this is still happening! I learned C as a kid some 20 years ago writing a text-based RPG. It was just the right balance between "look everybody I made a game" and "wow there's a lot more to learn," which is a pretty ideal outcome for someone new to programming.

That said, I only got into C because I was already tinkering with computers and BASIC, and I don't think my young curiosity about machines would have held if I were being instructed to learn them by an adult. Kids are funny like that.
Pure speculation, but the sales rate of the Nexus 5x and 6 could have been so low that there wasn't much inventory to dispose of when they stopped selling it.

Have you considered options like eBay or Amazon? Oftentimes the secondary market (even for a new phone) sees a dramatic drop on announcement of a new model, and you can still capture gains from that. [1]

For you personally there probably are no advantages. For large organizations that are already heavily invested in SQL Server, however, there may be benefit in being able to migrate off of Windows, especially if most of the rest of the server infrastructure is already Linux based.
I work on some pretty heinous legacy code and build systems. I often measure my success by the amount of code I remove rather than the amount I write.
I remember news articles about 'clear links between Al-Qaeda and Saddam' doing the rounds. There was no evidence whatsoever, not one single report. Yet it spread.

Heck there were even intelligence analysts going public saying 'hey guys there's absolutely no evidence of such links' (see Andrew Wilkie).
I will add to his anecdote with my own. I have been teaching my nieces (10 and 16) how to program and I approached it the same way. My 16 y/o niece was told Python was the way to go, but I resisted teaching her that. I'm an iOS developer that learned the 3 bears of web, JS/Ruby/Python, when I started teaching myself. While there were many things to appreciate about all three, the most useful to me was ability to open up a website and see its contents. To build 'hello world' in three smalls files and load into a browser without the internet (kind of a big deal when your niece loses the internet - and electricity - from time to time. Cause: poverty) is eye-opening at that age.

Showing someone you are passionate about something and teaching that - passion... THAT is the best thing you can do for a young mind. The worst outcome is that they are not interested long-term but harness what they learned from you into something else. The best outcome is that they love it and eclipse you at some point earlier in their own careers.

I'm not a parent either, but even if my nieces choose other fields (odds are they will), they will be better off for having some technical training before doing so: they will dig far deeper than what's required because they were trained to think that way. One of my nieces is an artist. She could draw better than I could as an adult at 12 and I had formal training in industrial design! Showing her that code is just a lower level of artistic expression is something I wish someone would have told me at her age. Doesn't matter to me if she goes into ID, UX, SD, or CG. I don't believe you can have too much directed exposure.
Client state? How come? As said, Brazilian government did it, and the state is still there, not anybody's client.
Leaving private companies in charge of healthcare is pure madness. Most of the developed countries have realized this. (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universal_health_coverage_by_c...)

The reason is that healthcare is somewhere you don't want the profits to be the main goal. The goal is to make sure everyone is taken care of, at the best cost for the society. Did you know the US is the country that spends most on healthcare, and still doesn't have universal coverage? (http://www.investopedia.com/ask/answers/020915/what-country-...)

Therefore, public pricing is not the optimal solution. Public heath system is.
The issue I've read about (I'm not a security practitioner, more like a hobbyist) is that the sheer mass of bogus bounty submissions take valuable time to evaluate. If you start up a bug bounty program, you're essentially signing up to read hordes of submissions that you'll be obligated to check out, the overwhelming majority of which pan out to be nothing. And many (most?) of those, will contain petulant and arrogant demands that the bounty be paid even though the "finding" presented is no actual vulnerability at all.
I just opened my Red Book and reread «Short history of UNIX».
Berkley University bought license for AT&T UNIX[1] in 1977. They started to develop their own software for UNIX and distribute it, so this variant of UNIX is called BSD. Then they decide to remove and rewrite original AT&T code, due to license and associated costs, and released 4.3BSD[2], which then used by BSD flavors.

So BSD is UNIX, but it contains no AT&T code today.

That's some seriously cool tech. The great thing from Microsoft's perspective is not needing to maintain two completely separate codebases, beyond the SQLPAL and the linux host extenstion, which are fairly small in comparison.

Also, by having the SQLPAL be directly descended from the Windows SQLOS should mean that Windows and Linux SQL Server have similar performance, and they're not paying a significant overhead that's typical of platform emulation.

Good shit.
Not really creating a blog in 10 minutes using a framework is very different from learning to build a twitter clone with without one is not comparable in my view.
If it's paid for by taxes or borrowing there won't be any net inflationary effect because the money going to the recipients comes from elsewhere in the economy. The new stuff that poorer people are now buying is payed for by the creation of less stuff for rich people. Economies aren't perfectly flexible so there will be some increase in the price of good used by poor people in relation to the goods used by rich people but that effect won't be huge. Of course, if an UBI drastically reduces employment that's a whole 'nother story but people are doing these pilots to figure that out.

PostgreSQL has features MSSQL does not have, and vice versa.

PG is still very lacking when it comes to multi-node clusters for high availability for example.
Well, yes - you don't get money for the first child, unless your income is very low. Those employees left their job, became jobless, and therefore were able to claim for the first child too.
Do people feel that reading Hacker News meets these principles? On one hand there's a lot of good links and discussions here, but a significant portion is either too obscure or just not very interesting (e.g. most medium.com links). How do you optimize your HN reading to maximize time spent learning?
Sure, but they have directly said that they are leaving because of 500+. Again, this is the internet, you don't have to believe a word of it.
I had a history teacher in college that assigned a 20 page paper. It was one of the biggest classes at the school, 100 students, so he had about 2,000 pages of grading to do. I got a decent grade, an A- if I recall, and two pages of handwritten notes about which arguments I could strengthen and sources that would have bolstered my arguments. Finally, the entire paper was marked in red with style and grammar notes, including the bibliography.

Grading is indeed time consuming, but it is one of the best opportunities that we have to give personalized feedback to our students. If we throw away that chance to analyze, consider, and connect, then we might as well substitute YouTube videos for all of education and be done with it.

Because there is now a sufficient majority of Turks who want to destroy the secular Turkey, apply gradually more and more islamic country and get rid of Turkey's within enemies: Secular people and Kurds. Erdogan is just listening to the people like he says, he only additionally wants to destroy and humiliate his personal and political enemies because he is a psycho. Furthermore, he adores money, his family built an multi-billion empire during his reign.
Ugh, I had to unblock a bunch of scripts to even view this page. Super fail. I'm going to reblock everything I just blocked. Thanks.
It is. Datetime is an unpleasant problem domain, and Tim was active both on SO [1] and Github, arguably so much so that it was to the detriment of his health [2].

In the case of Moment, a little promotion went a very long way, and the community was eager to take what's given so they wouldn't have to think too much about datetime, and focus on debating how to arrange and design their applications instead.

Moment's design is a testament to "let's not think too hard about datetime", and I mean that both as a compliment and a critique.

Did you read the article? It specifically covers this question.

People who are in some sort of pain can still do work if they can find a job that doesn't aggrivate their pain. One example from the article was a woman who had a bad back, but could work a desk job like at a call center. Whent the prospects of that sort of job disappear from their geographical area, the person becomes eligible for disability.
Pytz handles a certain class of funkiness in TZ changes, but not the one mentioned here. Consider, a user in footopia enters a datetime 3 months from now which is saved in UTC in your database. Then footopia changes their TZ definition. The only way you could get this right is if you also know when the datetime in the database was created. You would need to tell your datetime library the datetime and _when it was created_, and pytz doesn't do that (I don't know any that do, actually).
No discussion? Is this "too political" or does nobody want to get shot in the back, today?
Perspective is not an expensive feature and I really doubt it would contribute significally to code inflation.

It depends on how it's been implemented.

How this brilliant mathematician made John Glenn a national hero
Ok let me take a stab at it.

Variables are imagined as containers. Those variables/containers exist within a scope. Let's take an example where a room is the scope. That room is in an apartment, which is in turn in an apartment building, in a city and so on. Code whose scope is that room can access containers in that room, or in the open areas of the apartment (but not in other rooms without special arrangements being made), or in open areas of the building (but not in other apartments …) etc.

So code in my room can look inside a container in the hall, but not in a container in your room. And vice-versa.

A closure allows this special arrangement to look in another room. I can create a closure in my room. This is code that can access the containers in my room, but it has the special property that it acts like it is in my room even when it isn't. So I can give you this closure and you can run it in your room. When it's running in your room it can't access your containers (except as arguments) but it can still access the containers in my room.

My daughter is two. I'm looking forward to taking this journey with her
Agreed.

But replacing all of the private entities involved with health care overnight is not a likely next step. It should be a goal, eventually.
Very creepy thing to do.
Better tooling a better query optimizer and more reassuring "enterprise support", if that's your kind of kink.
My Script blocker killed it too. If it wasn't a link from HackerNews, I wouldn't have bothered to even try to unblock it.

Is that a joke? None of those are even real taxes. Sure, you pay sales tax on a yacht, but the poor person is paying the exact same percentage on their everyday items. That's regressive.

Also, don't you see how callous it is to worry about how a rich person has to pay country club dues, in the context of talking about poor people who struggle to afford food sometimes? Why would your sympathies lie with the person who has all of their basic needs met and is "struggling" only to utilize as many luxury goods (yachts, country clubs, sports cars, box seats) as possible?

OLAP for one. Initial support for basic OLAP conventions was introduced in 9.5 (grouping sets, rollups, cubes, upserts), but there's still a lot missing (like nested aggregations), and a lot of performance tuning that needs to be done.

We cannot run our BI on Postgres or we would. But with Microsoft's latest work, even products like Oracle Hyperion can run against SQL Server running on Linux.
You're both correct.

The scheduling library should be more upfront about /what/ is being agreed to and force the user to pick.

P) The event is at a precise internationally recognized moment (better for co-ordination globally).

R) The event is in local time (like a lunch date) and expected to remain colloquially fixed.

In the case of the first you store a precise UTC timestamp and drop the timezone (it's UTC).

In the case of the second you store /how/ to pick a UTC timestamp based on a time in a timezone.

> both are on SSID from obesity related issues.

It's remarkable to me that people can collect SSID from diseases that are preventable without even needing medical treatment. That seems... wrong. As someone who's gone through substantial weight loss before, I know it's challenging, but at the very least the government should require people getting SSI for obesity-related issues to go to food addiction counseling or something.

The upper limit of $1130 on a person's income makes it difficult to tell for sure. It could be that 30% of people everywhere can legitimately qualify as "disabled" using their criteria, but most people won't apply because they already make too much money.

There was a very tight window of opportunity where that was realistic. At the time the only things standing in Turkey's way were the denial of the Armenian genocide and the death penalty.

That window however closed a long time ago. Turkey was very reluctant to change either of these two things and EU member states weren't exactly crazy about the idea of Turkey becoming a member either.

The EU's relations with Turkey are pretty bad right now. The only ace up Turkey's sleeve right now is the refugee crisis (and, to a lesser extent, their NATO membership).
I can't understand the mental hoops you're going through to justify this.

Mixed chocolate and vanilla icecream would be called chocolate ice cream! After all, vanilla is an ingredient in chocolate icecream.
The ten principles are a key principle (number 1), and the nine principles that follow (according to the post):

1. Do not rely on the law to protect systems or users.
2. Prepare policy commentary for quick response to crisis.
3. Only keep the user data that you currently need.
4. Give users full control over their data.
5. Allow pseudonymity and anonymity.
6. Encrypt data in transit and at rest.
7. Invest in cryptographic R&D to replace non-cryptographic systems.
8. Eliminate single points of security failure, even against coercion.
9. Favor open source and enable user freedom.
10. Practice transparency: share best practices, stand for ethics, and report abuse.

You almost certainly already know this, but PostgreSQL behaves very differently depending on its config parameters. We've been able to get decent OLAP performance at least to the dozens of TB scale.

Very interested to hear how to made the decision to use MS SQL and the test cases that drove that decision.
How? I bet most commercial VPN services rotates on billions of different IPv6 addresses (from completely different subnets that is).
I am glad that developers are willing to create truly free software under public-domain license, so one can just use it at will (for example copy just one method from the code) without worrying about licenses or needing to hire a lawyer.
