Spot on. In his ABC interview, he cited San Bernardino and 9/11 as reasons for this ban. The attackers in San Bernardino were a US citizen and Pakastani and the 9/11 attackers were from Saudi Arabia. Neither covered by this ban.
Well the sad and simple way:

- Food: Go to the cheapest store that still has normal vegtables, cook for yourself whenever possible, don't buy overly expensive stuff like avokados or good cheese.

- Transportation: Bike/Foot

- Bakery/Concerts/Vacation/Cinema/Bars/mobile-internet etc: don't

- Accomodation: shared

- Other necessities: only buy when broken, google for 3 hours to find the cheapest thing that won't break all too easily or go 2nd hand. Save at least 1000 bucks in case something big like your laptop breaks.
Agree with the concepts and the ideas to do on call properly.

Also notice that it is impossible to achieve in the real world. What company will have enough people for rotation + systems that barely fail + major bonus for oncall + time off + people who are decisively not trigger happy against your pager...
For Forth, that's an easy answer: when you think "hacker" you're thinking of people working on the Big Iron. Forth's niche was small machines, so while it had a good bit of popularity on the micros, its influence on the mainframe hackers, with their "we hate micros" ethos, was minimal.
Can you talk about what the existing procedures are for refugees from these countries, and why they're not sufficient?

The Senate isn't inherently undemocratic, but it's not population-representative. It gives an effective psuedocount of 2 to each state, regardless of its population. For states with very little population (think Wyoming compared to California) it gives them a distinct additional voting strength that is not population proportional representative.
For me and many many others I know, it's terrifying and enraging. Also I'm deeply ashamed.

It's been said that the best thing to do is to call your senators' and representatives' local offices and leave a sober, polite voicemail message. That assumes that the voice mailboxes aren't full, as I just learned is the case with my two senators. I used the online contact form instead (which supposedly isn't nearly as effective as a phone call) and will try a phone call again on Monday.
I said solving olympiad problems is NP-complete task. Not problems themselves. See the difference?

Let's say there is a relatively simple olympiad puzzle. Also, let's say there is a imaginary robot which should solve this olympiad puzzle. What I said there is no fast universal algorithm for the robot which allows to solve any such olympiad puzzle. The only thing robot can do to solve many (but not all) problems is heuristics with random elements.

Ada is not fringe. It's used by many large companies, although less and less these for new projects these days. There are some huge Ada codebases being maintained in industry, particularly in the aviation industry.
Banning people trying to escape war zones makes it worse not more acceptable. Stop watching so much TV news and reading articles by cowardly hate mongers. Most people are just like you and me and only want to provide a nice life for their families.
This is ridiculous. What's the argumentation? Are non-asian people withheld from positions or unable to start startups because of Asian people? Or, are people from less privileged societies/economies more driven towards success/entrepreneurship? Is there space for lucid and argumented discussion when these kind of statements are being made at all?

edit: ok. I get it. Not all that thinly-veiled "not white people hurr durr" talk/racism. No point of discussion.

No, the console window is separate from cmd - it's a builtin Windows thing. If your Windows program (that isn't cmd) needs a console, and it doesn't have one, it can call AllocConsole(), and one will be added for it. (A new console window will appear with your program's EXE's path in the title bar.)

If your program is tagged as a console program, Windows will usually open a console for it when run - or, at its parent process's discretion, it can be made to use the parent's console. This is how cmd.exe gets a window when you run it from Explorer, and it's how cmd /k runs the new cmd inside the same window when you run it from cmd itself.

I buy way more books than I ever read. In a moment of insight one day it occurred to me that when I was contemplating buying a book, it wasn't the book I was after it was the knowledge contained within, and actually just buying the book wasn't enough to give me what I needed. I then realised that I would actually have to read it. So I wasn't just paying for it with money, I was paying with time. Quite often time that I couldn't afford.

I still have too many unread books on my bookshelf, but this has helped me temper my obsession a bit. Now if only I could buy some more time..
Read more carefully - HR8799 is the subject of the animation up top, and the subject of the quote about motion interpolation. Both are credited to J. Wang, while the composite photo of Fomahault B is credited elsewhere. Also note the use of the term 'animation', and that he refers to images taken since 2009 (whereas the Fomahault B images start in 2004).
I haven't looked at the mini line in a long time, but the whole point used to be that it was passively cooled so your media box didn't generate fan noise while you were watching TV.
This is the same line of reasoning that prevents valid use of profiling. Until you can clearly identify and prove the "issue" that you mention then we have to make do with half-solutions that may be the wrong answer in some instances. As an engineer/problem-solver I find this perfectly logical and reasonable. You can't just throw your arms up and say "sorry" when it could very well mean people dying and the dying of people is exactly what you're trying to prevent. If this blanket policy saves even one life I would find it justified.

Either way... It doesn't sound like the two individuals in the article are actual persecuted refugees. The article doesn't elaborate on that. We're just expected to assume that. But we're told what amazing humans they are and how much they helped the US. That sounds more like a dishing out of green card favors in return for services.
I believe this does not affect green card holders. My understanding is that green card holders are entitled to enter the U.S. in a similar way that U.S. are entitled to enter the U.S.
That takes you down the road of arguing the USA isn't a democracy, which is a fine semantic argument of little relevance to current events.

If this starts a movement to abolish the electoral college, great, but the core problem here isn't a few million votes. Even with a different system Trump could still have won. The core problem is that such a guy was able to even get close to the White House and the root cause is a dire failure of all the other politicians to address the concerns he addressed.

> In both scenarios the person's property is being stolen.

With material theft, the person that is stolen from looses access to what is stolen. This is true in the case of a GPL violation. But not in the case of classic copyright violation.

You might argue that copyright violation prevents extracting profit - but it doesn't mean the victim loses access to their property.

Hyper group-think is one of the more unfortunate aspects of our modern technological dilemma. Places like HN breed it. I find it utterly despicable...it's as if most of the people here are willfully incapable of considering any point of view except their own.

If you disagree with the local group-think in the slightest, you just get censored and your words start fading away into nothingness. It's such crap.

I have designs for a new, better commenting and comment voting system could solve this problem. The up/down vote is so childish and overly simplistic. I look forward to a time when people get sick of it and finally change to something better.
Well, I've checked the current offerings and I can't find any that doesn't have "19 V DC" as the power supply description. I guess I'm statistically irrelevant in their market.
This executive order is very bad and it's not about muslim-majority or no muslim-majority.

The order applies to existing visa and green card holders. Many of these people have build there lives here. Some of them are key employees in American companies.

If they are on vacation abroad right now they can't come back to their home and families. If they are in the US, they can't leave the country - even if their jobs might require them to travel abroad.

Even worse than that is the uncertainty. I think many are now afraid this order might be extended indefinitely.

which shows some of the concepts.
He's talking about Steve Bannon, Trump's main advisor, who ran Brietbart, which hosts plenty of White Supremacists. That's basically the argument- Asians aren't Americans, we need more of 'us' at the top. That's why Bannon will complain about too many Asian CEOs but won't talk about a lack of Black CEOs. He's not concerned with diversity of any kind, he wants homogeneity.
It's even more concise in APL, assuming you know how to read APL.

Well, Bannon (Trump's Chief Strategist) is part of what's called the "alt-right" movement. Quoting from a ProPublica article[1]: "The alt-right believes in racially separate nation-states."

They are okay with immigrant founders like Peter Thiel and Elon Musk, since they are white. It seems like it's non-white immigrants they want to keep out.

They also don't seem concerned with the economic impact of excluding non-white immigrants, as Bannon said "A country is more than an economy."

I have the same experience. I find taking a shower or a walk easier than meditating, but meditating seems to have a stronger effect. That said, all three help tremendously with the more intuitive leaps that I often need to solve particular problems (in work or life), as well as with maintaining a more peaceful state.

Forcing myself to do these things has been one of the biggest improvements in my life, in particular in dealing with my anxiety and stress issues.
Smokers may die younger, but the way they die is more expensive than living longer (years of respiratory illness). Also, smokers cause collateral damage through secondary smoke inhalation.

You can call it a sin tax, but another term is "disincentive tax".
Steve Bannon is simply a White Supremacist, there isn't really any argumentation to speak of.
Unfortunately, it does: http://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-trump-immigration-gree...
TBH I hadn't looked at AMD in that regard for quite some time since they hadn't been on my short list. Thanks for pointing this out, likely doubtful Ryzen will be any different unfortunately. sigh
You'll need to discuss with Bannon what "our culture" means and who "we" are. When you say lucid and argumented, I'm guessing you've already excluded such nebulous thoughts from what arguments are acceptable. Or you could try to convince him that the idea of culture is too vague too be useful and we should only discuss policy with more concrete things.

Edit/Clarification: I disagree with Bannon. More specifically, he would probably consider me "them" instead of "us".

This seems to be one of my least popular comments. Care to explain why?
I bought a Skylake NUC and I will buy more NUCs in the future but using
them with Linux isn't all rosy:

- Getting the NUC to wake up after sleep is a hit or miss. Sometimes I can still SSH into it, but I never manage to get the display back on.

- One in every 200 boots the fan just doesn't start. Since the fan isn't very loud, some people might not notice this, which might or might not be a problem.

- One in every 1000 boots the fan seems to be the only thing that starts.

- Sometimes Wifi doesn't come up or goes down. Getting it back up is impossible.

- Getting into BIOS is annoyingly difficult.

I had some more problems but I think they were my monitors fault (looking at you, Dell).
I've been using Linux since forever now and I never had so many problems with any machine.

For folks here, I like ledger-cli (and that family of tools) over excel.

1) It's designed for tracking finances.

2) It's plaintext so amenable to scripting and custom reporting using any of your favorite tools and languages.

3) It's reporting system is quite capable and paired with tmux and emacs I have a nice homemade financial dashboard. On one pane is an emacs instance for data entry. In others are various reports executed using watch. If you include stocks and other investments, you can use a pricedb file and have an up to date (set mine up for daily price downloads) view of your entire financial portfolio.

EDIT: I was on mobile earlier.

Paired with org-mode with custom PENDING/CLEARED todo states and noweb/tangle of babel code blocks, you can make a pretty effective workflow without much effort. And I prefer this over automated trackers like Mint or something where it's easy to ignore it for a few days and still have correct information, but not know where your money went. (I do use Mint, it's a convenient place to get aggregated data from the half dozen or so institutions holding different parts of my assets or debts).
This is because those people are choosing more access for themselves in both cases. They rather have more "stuff" at little or no expense and they dismiss their moral or legal obligations when it becomes inconvenient.

If someone truly believed in the moral aims of the GPL then they probably wouldn't pirate media either. That sort of pure and consistent philosophy is an increasingly rare and admirable one.
I remember my vacation in the states (in the South). I got served a absolutely massive glass of coca-cola with my dinner. When I had finally managed to finish it a waiter came and refilled the bloody thing when I wasn't paying attention. How can you enjoy your meal with that much to drink?

I don't know if it's a bubble, because nothing depends on the valuation of Airbnb / Uber. It's more like a Ponzi Scheme where investors put money in to establish value, then make the company well known enough to pawn it off to public shareholders before it tanks.
Hacker News represents the American tech community, and the American tech community appears to be moving towards an embrace of right wing and neo-reactionary ideology, which is odd given the anarchist and leftist roots of hacker culture.

The mythology of Trump casts him in the mold of the Silicon Valley archetype of self-made Ubermenschen like Thiel, Bezos or Jobs, who render the state and the status quo obsolete through sheer force of personal will and aggression.

A year ago America was a country I admired. My girlfriend and I were even planning a vacation to Washington DC and Boston this summer. We're white registered Christians from Scandinavia by the way, so the ban isn't affecting us legally, but we won't visit America under Trump. We won't buy American products under Trump, and I've recently moved all my mail/whatever accounts away from American companies and closed or heavily censored my social media accounts on American networks.

This is completely anecdotal but our reaction has been more norm than strange in our circle of friends and coworkers.

The immigration order was the last straw.
I think that the two of us share the same opinion as we both see that any Trump supporter or voter should be held accountable for all his policies irrespective of their intentions but I think where we disagree is who should be the target of our rage. I believe that people like Bannon & Co should be prioritized because they're the ones running the show and the brain behind those awful policies and to spare the common Trump supporter on the street the full brunt of this.
