I didn't forget it, it just wasn't mentioned in the comment I replied to.

But if you think open-source gets rid of that issue, I'd like you to look up "Ubuntu Amazon search ads", maybe "systemd vs init", also "pulse audio" just to name a few. Yep, it's possible to get rid of all of these things, but again, only if the user knows how. Which again, isn't a common skill.

This looks good and promising. I just hope and wish you become a profitable, self-sustaining business and don't close down in a few years.
Yeah - that was a very cool project!
The build quality still usually is a narrow miss. Namely, non-apple manufacturers LOVE to cut corners by using plastic on the bottom or more fragmented case design. Touchpads are always iffy too.

Does anyone know of any non-apple machines that truly are at parity in build quality? The new Thinkpad X1 looks nice.
Regarding the input, if you can demonstrate that with a clean OS install that these lock up happen, it's a very good candidate for hardware replacement, assuming you have AppleCare which would still keep you in warranty till 2017ish.

I've had over 10 Apple laptops in the past decade, and wifi is one of the things that has always been rock solid. Whenever buggy wifi showed up, it was usually the cheap wifi router to blame, since buggy wifi would affect all the wifi devices.
On the off chance that you aren't being deliberately obtuse, here's what's going on:

If, given two situations

1. The the set containing compilers for language L is size 1, and that compiler works on multiple platforms; or

2. The set of compilers is > 1, but there exists at least one compiler in the set which is a) popular for use with language L b) not fully interoperable with the other compilers from the set that satisfy (a); then

situation 1 is the preferable one

Or to put it another way, nobody complains about code not working with compilers that don't exist.
This is really cool, and any reason to bring this game back into my life is warmly welcomed

Creating a type for it, for each type of array, will require exactly the macro array thing I was talking about. And see the sibling comment for how dynamic arrays/alloca isn't relevant, I'm just talking about static arrays. (Dynamic arrays on the stack do have a performance cost, as they get in the way of the compiler's optimiser/code generator: having non-fixed stack frames makes accessing locals annoying.)

>A globalist is someone who wants to subjugate the sovereignity of individual nation states under the power of a global government, whether overtly (the un) or covertly (bilderbergs/free masons/other conspiracy groups).

In that case, outside crazy conspiracy websites, there are basically no actual globalists on the planet. Literally zero office-holding politicians have proposed a world government.
You are right, only ü to break the gue and gui forms. The "diptongos" containing a weak-strong vowel combination may be broken into a "hiato" with an accent, such as: vía vs via.
Off-topic: I've noticed in the past few years that many call center workers have a new, distinct sort of accent and cadence. I don't think this is just a change in the language demographics of the workers because (1) I can still usually distinguish Indian speakers, although I could be wrong, and (2) it's really a different shared cadence rather than just different sounds.

Has there been any systematic change in how the language training for call center workers is done?

My point is that panics are memory safe, contrary to what my parent said.
I can't immediately think of any apps that are just as complex as Facebook's, but maybe I'm just not thinking hard enough. Could you give me some examples (honest question)?
> I call it morbid because "not enough people died hence its a success" is a bad argument. What is your cutoff for the number of people to have died for it to have become a failure? How do you arrive at that cutoff?

The cutoff was not given by me. It was given by the nay-sayers including the Supreme Court of India. Who speculated "financial emergency" and "large-scale riots"? Was it people who supported demonetization or those who opposed?

> Yes a relatively smaller percentage than demonetization (but not small by any means). Furthermore, less people were affected by partition but the impact to those affected was much higher. In demonetization, more people were affected but the average impact to those affected was much lower. They might even be the same area under the curve in terms of suffering. But how do we quantify that? Simply saying that "less people were affected yet more people died during partition in contrast to demonetization where more people are affected but less people died" is an incomplete argument. More people are affected by the poor air quality of New Delhi but less people die because of it than the partition, does that mean that the air quality measures that the government has taken (banning unleaded fuel etc.) is a success?

But you are again trying to tie an economic move like demonetization with something inherently negative: pollution. How does pollution compare to the Partition or Demonetization? How does that analogy even make any sense? We are talking about "implementation" of "intent". I gave comparison of Partition because the Partition of India was an "intent" in the same way that the demonetization was an "intent". The "implementation" of the "intent" failed with Partition but not with demonetization. How do I quantify that? See the demonetization exercises carried out by 6 countries before India. It was bloody and ended in either coups d'état or large-scale riots. Both did not happen in India.

> Survivorship bias. You only hear of the ones that got caught. There are so many that got away scot-free.

You are in the realm of speculation here. It is for you to prove that "so many go away scot-free".

> Also, do you always believe or agree with what the Supreme court says or recommends? How do you feel about the mandatory standing for the national anthem before any movie? Should that be something that the state should enforce? Hitler made it mandatory for civilians to perform the Nazi salute towards him.

I agree with mandatory standing for National Anthem irrespective of whether it is before any movie or in any public place. Now you taking it to the other extreme of comparing standing for National Anthem to that of Nazi salute is completely uncalled for. Are you actually comparing Nazi ideology with upholding the Constitution of India? The Supreme Court only upheld the Articles of the Constitution. Read the order of the Court. This is not some Nazi diktat. Please widen your perspective.

That seems like a very low speed while the train is actually in motion, although apparently[1] american freight trains average around ~40 km/h. I would guess mostly it is various delays that keeps the average that low, and it seems most data is just distance/time estimates, not actual averages of instantaneous speed measurement.

Yes--thank you. I wrote from memory and screwed up the attribution, thereby fulfilling the stereotype of the typical American who can't tell European nations apart from one another.

This tiny little episode shows how easy it can be for wrong info to spread. I should have looked up the Buzzfeed story to confirm the country, but I winged it, and got it wrong.

So was my comment "fake news"? I don't think so, of course. I didn't set out to fool anybody, it was just a mistake. But it did push out a false fact to everyone who saw my comment.

Seconded. I have bad vision; I would love to use this to resize the fonts in single-column PDFs that I read.

Equivalently, I would love to reduce the column width to make zooming easier.

I prefer two-column format specifically because the columns are typically much narrower (less words per line), so I can zoom them to fill the screen and read much more comfortably than a single column document with 50 words per line.
Anecdotally, I really enjoyed Rogue Legacy and objectively, it was an extremely successful game that has a high rating both from professional reviewers and community reviews [https://www.google.com/search?q=Rogue+legacy&oq=Rogue+legacy]. Unless you were there or know people who were, saying something like, "because they think..." will not go far at ycombinator (from what I've seen).

Are you serious? It's definitely possible, and almost simple, to build a limited scale service that is cheaper than S3. S3 has the Amazon footprint behind it, which you can't compete against, but the price is not hard to beat.
(panics are for "non-recoverable" errors, and so don't _have_ to unwind the stack: you can abort on panic as well. The important difference is that you get well-defined behavior in all cases.)
There are plenty of services that put my job in a queue and simply update the page via JavaScript to show progress and deliver the end result. The better implementations identify me via session cookie and recognize me when I check back half an hour later to get my results. That's a much nicer experience than creating another account at some random service that I might never visit again.

This is completely false. French workers (at mid-management level and above - not hourly workers) work long hours. Longer than German and Nordic countries, for example, where leaving at 5pm is the norm and leaving later is more a sign of poor work planning than of dedication.

I think workday hours are similar to American employees, but work less in the weekends and have more vacations.
Another alternative to S3 cloud storage is Minio (https://www.minio.io), works pretty well.
The idea seems to be, that designers have more flexibility.

You can layer elements how you like and then, in the end, disable all the elements "in the front" of the element that you want to have "clickable".
Then you are probably not the target for the Arch distrib. Others are better suited for your needs.

You were using a distribution made for people who want to take time to tinker, then complain that it requires that you take time to tinker.

Using Arch is sometimes a status symbol, a way to signal that you are a hacker that likes to control every bit of your system. There is no need to try this hard. You can also simply use Ubuntu or any variants, or even Fedora for what's matters. That's what I do.
It's even better when you combine it with the command line tools. You can design a template on the GUI, and then customize it and export it via a script.
This sounds like the "fail fast" philosophy in Erlang. Crashing is the standard behavior for any unexpected data, but the process model makes it straightforward to manage those crashes.
The money comes from sacrificing existing entitlement programs, which might actually cost more.

Think about it like this in the US: Imagine giving everybody a basic income and eliminating minimum wage, social security, medicare, welfare, and so forth...

Naturally some people would become wealthier (paying down existing debts) and some people would become poorer (spending money more rapidly and increasing their debt burden), but these are personal decisions.

The banks, presumably, have a fairly good reason for restricting that activity, and the people on the trading floor have been given significant consideration (employment, perhaps, or access to the trading floor on behalf of their employer) in exchange for agreement to those terms.

Chucking a "you can't bring your own WiFi [because we want to make more money selling it to you]" term into the standard language on a hotel agreement might have a much harder time passing muster.

Further, there's a lot of caselaw built up over time that treats dwelling places, even temporary ones like hotels, differently than workplaces. (E.g. it's perfectly fine for your employer to set up cameras in your office to keep an eye on employees, but if a hotel did that in guests' rooms they'd have a problem on their hands, and I strongly suspect that wouldn't change even if they put some "you consent to be photographed!" small print on the check-in agreement along with the no-smoking policy and other boilerplate.)
In the article though, the benefits to nurses weren't disputed. It was a success from a quality of life perspective. Costs were the issue.

Possible that costs might vary from role to role, but that's less satisfying if the goal is to improve life.

There is no such thing as a polished GTK app. GTK widgets are really bad designed take for instance the `open` or `save` dialogues, only somebody how does not care about usability could come with that. Any application (no exceptions) made in GTK+ can be done better, faster in Qt through a much more polished and robust API. it's ashamed that inkscape is tied with such bad widget toolkit.
I've listened to enough of these calls on youtube to realize most of these scammers think they're untouchable (and surely have been for several years) so unfortunately I doubt telling them you're from a terrorist tracking center will have any impact :)

While not an Indian scam, I was getting tons of calls for the vacation package scam for months from random phone numbers. If you're not familiar with it, they basically say "You've one of the following: A brand new SUV, and HD TV, or a vacation package! Just come to our office to find out what you won". I'm sure it's blatantly obvious to HN readers that you haven't won any prize and instead they'll try to sell you on the vacation package, but this one bothered me because it fooled my parents. I did eventually get them to stop calling me, but the contents of those calls aren't exactly HN worthy :/

How was MacOS's shutdown confusing? That sounds a little more like the version of Windows where it was intentionally hidden.
Unreal Engine.
The author of the code can change the license for future releases. So if I write a GPL'd project and distribute it, I can decide at any point that I want the project to be BSD or closed source or anything else instead. Anybody with a copy of the old code can continue adhering to the GPL for those old versions, but new code follows the new license.

Any obligations I have under the old license still stand (for example, if I shipped precompiled binaries of my old GPL'd version, I still need to make the source available at that version for people who have the binary.

It gets more complex if, as the other commenter here mentioned, there are multiple contributors. If I merged patches into my project from 10 people, I need their permission to change the license of their code. So either I need to ask them, or I need to get them to assign copyright for the work to me so I can decide for them (this is part of the reason why lots of larger orgs / projects ask contributors to sign a contributor agreement that assigns copyright to the org).

For an example of how this looks in practice: OSX still ships an ancient version of bash, which was released under the GPLv2, because newer versions are released under GPLv3 and they're concerned about including GPLv3'd things due to the additional terms in the license. They're free to continue using the old version of the code under GPLv2, but can't apply the old license to the new code.

On the note of distributed systems, are there systems that perform well when the a node is not connected? Eg, i'm designing my own "distributed fs" (though my needs are very different), and i'm mainly doing this because i don't see this in many places. Figure it's on topic here.

Eg, i want a single point of contact - my local node (laptop/etc) - which can behave normally whether it is connected to the network, part of the network, or none of the network. The availability of the data at large is obviously dependent on how much of it you're connected to, but that's fine for me.

This gives me the UX of being able to write to the filestore everywhere, rather than losing connection to a self-hosted s3 when i'm out of cell signal range or w/e. Then later, when i'm back and connected to the network, different nodes who are configured to own all portions of data can pull the data as needed.

Are there other distributed offline-able filesystems like this?
It's also extremely progressive. Last I heard, they had managed to hire 40% woman engineers in recent cohorts. Compare this to a ~10% industry average.

I am a die-hard Windows user and I don't care about games as much. In my opinion, Windows is just the best all around OS.

While I do use Mac and Linux wherever third parties require it - I prefer Windows by far. I also think it's the most practical choice for anybody that needs a solid general purpose OS. Some other thoughts:

- I like the Microsoft business plan the best - they don't want to lock me into hardware like Apple and their stuff isn't infinitely fragmented like Linux.

- Windows has the best all around UI and they cater to power users. Meanwhile, Apple hates power users and Linux thinks that "power user" means programmer/beta tester.

- The vast, vast majority of businesses use Windows desktops and not Mac or Linux. These are my customers.

- There are very few useful things that I can't do with Windows. Meanwhile, I can find hundreds of things that Mac and Linux can't do (or can't do easily/well) that Windows can.

GNU Guile specifically has a curried definition syntax:
