>You don't want your browser to be any number of days behind the Chromium patch cycle.

Since Chromium does not upgrade itself, do you happen to have a suggestion on how to be arrange to be notified when a new patch is released?
You're proving GP's point. If you're running the largest darknet drug market in the world, you should probably have stronger security and assume a group like the NSA, or with the means of the NSA, is targeting you.

Local police aren't going to be able to tap into the power of the NSA. Your local country sheriff isn't going to be able to tap into NSA resources, it's going to be difficult enough for them to tap into the resources of the FBI.

For the average person participating in activism of whatever sort, it's going to be perceived as more effort than it's worth if you suggest that they compartmentalize and separately encrypt all their files, keep several burner phones etc. etc. Simply encrypting their full drive is enough.

There's diminishing returns the further down security rabbit hole you go.
You don't mean Chromium?

In my experience, the "refactor the world in a separate branch" strategy is always a giant mess. The initial work is perhaps simpler but the final merge is always horrible and the full impact of breaks isn't found until the merge is committed and you're stuck in "fix forward" mode because reverting is an unacceptable choice due to the cost of merging.

I'm not sure the overall cost to the team wouldn't be lower if these sorts of rewrites were done in place. (Also it's not really a refactoring if it's so big you can't do it in branch.)

It's MIT Licensed, you could take the project compile it, and put a price tag on it as a tool, and it would be legal. You could make a game that makes you millions of dollars and not owe a penny to the developers. You would be considered many nasty things probably, but legally speaking the MIT License would not forbid you doing that. You could also always contribute back. The restrictions of Unity are not the restrictions of Godot. You can make the millions you want to, you can redo the whole engine / tooling however you see fit. Just keep the original copyright notice and remember you have no warranty any of it works basically.
I agree that we should ban whites from this country, since they commit the vast majority of murders here in America. So many innocent lives have been lost to white murderers that own guns.

I mean, if we're going to be bigoted and ascribe negative traits to entire groups based on the actions of a few, shouldn't we do that to protect our safety by ascribing whites as murderers based on them committing the vast majority of the 17,000 murders that happen in our country every year?

America needs to defend themselves against whites, who are placing carnage into our peaceful country with their murderous ways.

If whites can't find a way to make peaceful journey in the world, then they have to go. Moderate whites need to step up and completely denounce their violent sub-groups. COMPLETELY DENOUNCE -- not quietly bolster or nod knowingly to.

(this is how bigotry works, and remember, it can go both ways. Do you want this kind of bigotry to happen to whites? I get that it's hard to not be bigoted when it's so much easier mentally to associate a race with the actions of a few, but that's what it takes to be smart- you have to actually think instead of being mentally lazy)

I think safe injection sites are a short term solution. What you're proposing is a more long-term fix that addresses the root cause. I suspect (though I haven't spent much time thinking about this) that safe injection sites are cheaper to implement and test, before we go off and build rehab centers.
Yeah that's the sort of thing I'm thinking of! From my total layperson perspective, the OP article seems to be a step in the right direction for this.
“Fifty thousand years ago there were these three guys spread out across the plain and they each heard something rustling in the grass. The first one thought it was a tiger, and he ran like hell, and it was a tiger but the guy got away. The second one thought the rustling was a tiger and he ran like hell, but it was only the wind and his friends all laughed at him for being such a chickenshit. But the third guy thought it was only the wind, so he shrugged it off and the tiger had him for dinner. And the same thing happened a million times across ten thousand generations - and after a while everyone was seeing tigers in the grass even when there were`t any tigers, because even chickenshits have more kids than corpses do. And from those humble beginnings we learn to see faces in the clouds and portents in the stars, to see agency in randomness, because natural selection favours the paranoid. Even here in the 21st century we can make people more honest just by scribbling a pair of eyes on the wall with a Sharpie. Even now we are wired to believe that unseen things are watching us.”

Activists are trying to manipulate HN to disseminate their particular partisan point of view, and in the process they are manipulating this forum to focus on serving their private agenda and in the process ruining it for all of us who come here for the tech stuff.

Oh nice! I was just looking for something like this to introduce people unfamiliar or uncomfortable with the command-line to rclone. This comes at a very opportune time for me, and I see it's written in understandable C++, so I can do a cursory examination to make sure it doesn't do anything weird.

I'm also thankful it's an Qt cross-platform application instead of some of the other ways of accomplishing cross-platform GUIs these days, which tend to bundle large dependencies while only making use of a small subset.

It's perhaps not ideal that you have to shell out to rclone but the relevant Github issue has not seen much activity [1]. I've been considering using a Go binding to Qt to have the GUI code call the classes directly instead of having to go through the command-line first.

I have thought of getting a mechanical keyboard, but I don't think I need it. I have been typing a lot on a standard Acer keyboard for a couple years, until the W key dome was gone, making it really hard to use with gaming. After that, I switched to the light Logitech K700 keyboard with flat keys. Typing on it feels good and I don't need to type fast, I want to type accurately. And in the end they are pretty quiet :).

I'm very satisfied with Linux Mint 18 and Cinnamon. Everything ran out of the box on my Thinkpad; It comes with nice looking fonts that render well; The Mint-y theme is quite beautiful (IMHO); It's a Debian/Ubuntu derivative, so you get very good support and a lot of packages; High-dpi scaling works very nicely, especially since version 18.

Yes, it is a self-evidence observation that as a whole, we understand the software systems we've built more than the entirety of all biological systems. Obviously nobody is disputing that.

The original claim was that to against this research or cautious about this research "because we don't always predict what biological systems will do" is on the same order of magnitude analogous to claiming we should be against or cautious about people implementing machine learning algorithms because "we can't always predict what software will do, especially AI!". I believe that this comparison is 100% valid and useful for explaining why the original reasoning is flawed to those in computer science who are pretty uninformed on biology.

The actual "chances of something going wrong" might not be the same - it might be a 10^-25 chance that you made a mistake in your implemented SVM that, err, causes a catastrophic error that has serious consequences for humanity, possibly because "the internet is all connected, man" (if this sounds ludicrous to you, that is how the other side sounds to me on these cases of biology!) and a 10^-24 chance that this research results in some organism that, err, causes a catastrophic error that has serious consequences for humanity (it is equally difficult for me to envision this), but the point is that both are cases where we can be so confident that some absurd catastrophe will occur because we have studied .

If you have specific predictions about how on Earth this research could result in catastrophe, make them and we can discuss how possible they are. If not, it really is anti-scientific fear-mongering: you aren't making any positive claim about a legitimate possible issue, you are simply saying "I have this gut feeling that like something could go wrong with that and it could like spread and be bad", even though we have excellent reasons to assume this is not the case and no reason to assume it is, and that everyone with any field knowledge strongly disagrees with your personal assessment, and the situation really is analogous to the person worrying about the SVM.

Edit: And to further explain why this is "anti-science" - it is because you are not making any testable claims, you are simply saying "We don't know everything that can go wrong, there could be something you haven't thought of!" and using that impossible to disprove hypothesis to shut down research and development, e.g. the process of science itself.

I didn't say that typing would be completely replaced with dictation.

You still want predictive typing, for example. If I want to refactor a variable name, indent a region, or create a class from a template, having a smart assistant that could be invoked with voice would be helpful.

As for people being able to type faster than voice recognition, I think voice recognition at 100 won would be fine for most people:

Performance of idiomatic Elixir code
We can't ship often for the same reason all of the big and complex software packages (IDE:s, spreadsheets etc) on your machine don't ship very often. Documentation needs to be produced and specific to a version. The application needs to be a consistent whole with UI changes, file format changes etc not happening too often.

I don't think it will ever be a good practice for large complex apps to change a tiny bit every day (Facebook might be challenging my theory, but their app is relatively simple they don't produce training docs, and most importantly they don't have to have the latest app compatible with all Facebook data from the beginning of time - instead they keep their data on their servers and modify it to the latest programs when necessary)

I agree you could have more feature gating, but large backwards compatible file formats are a complex business already with 10 releases over a decade - I can only imagine what it would be like supporting reference-rich documents with many more releases and the additional complexity of the sender and receiver having to agree on a feature set (unless you make the feature set/flight implicit from the data - but that's a new kind of headache). We already have tons of code in new versions dealing with loading malformed data in old formats because of bugs closed years ago! Every document we wrote we must also be able to read.

Lots of challenges in this area, but they are pretty fun to work with tbh.
> And thus the future for Oracle is much more promising than it is for Google or Apple.

I'm not sure that's true; it's may be true that Oracle has more Enterprise penetration now, but enterprises with significant Oracle dependencies I've encountered are mostly migrating out (largely to Microsoft) -- including enterprises that also have substantial decades-old COBOL mainframe legacy that they aren't as actively working to retire.
This is what I'm wondering about, can RNA meaningfully make proteins using an instruction manual that contains molecules that it doesn't recognize? The scientists created an organism with new DNA molecules but there is nothing in the paper about whether RNA is actually recognizing and transcribing these new molecules and how the result of that looks.

My guess is that it would be considered an error by the RNA and corrected but your parent suggest that the RNA is just treating it like it would one of the other four molecules with is also a possibility.
I'd love to see this research. I've wondered about it myself
My thesis is that kids in days past would go to further lengths than kids nowadays to figure things out, mostly out of boredom. Middle class kids in the past also had access to "the sum of all human knowledge" through their public library and inter-library loans, but the barriers were higher than for kids growing up with the Internet. Nowadays, it seems like every kind of game imaginable is being implemented (albeit badly) by someone out there.

Providing another anecdote doesn't invalidate my argument. Nor does it counter what you quoted there.

Nope. Just sharing. Ok, fine, you win, I guess.

My only serious problem with firefox is that a single tab can lock up the entire application. Otherwise, the performance _and_ memory usage is fantastic. But that one issue is enough to keep me away from it most of the time.
Good luck then :)

Not to be pessimistic, but don't overestimate your leverage. You may know that you leaving would be a big setback, but the founder may not. Careful with the ultimatum approach too. Even if the founder gives in, it may create resentment if your conversation ends up being "if you don't do this, I'll leave, and everybody else will follow!"

It's interesting that you think that a very small company is more likely to implement this new policy. I would have said that a bigger, more stable company would be a better candidate. Founders at small companies are betting everything on their shares, they will be more reluctant to giving them away too easily.

You're right. But I don't really expect anyone writing safety critical software to get their idea for the process straight off a blog. In that case you'd be going from requirements to how you achieve that. You also don't need continuous delivery. Basically a different world.
I read a book by Vernor Vinge where the main character did some software archeology as part of his hobby and technological interests. He discovered that the program used to keep time was viciously ancient, and after looking into "epoch" figured that the old-calendar year "1970" must have been decided upon because "that was when humanity first landed on the moon".

I aim to exercise Contract Driven Development. Write contract first, in python this would be in a doc-string of your stub. Then depending on your methodology either write your tests first followed by implementation (or vice-versa, depending on your preference). Then in the code document things that required you to run research (or more thinking power than usual).
This is why no matter how much sense it makes to use something like vim or emacs as your primary development editor, I could never justify the amount of time it would take me to actually be totally comfortable and start seeing benefits (beyond just using it for small quick edits at the command line).

Typing speed is never the bottleneck. You could double most developers' typing speed when they code and it'd probably have a negligible impact on their overall productivity.

There are benefits, but do they really outweigh the benefits of those same hours spent studying a data structure or design pattern or trying new tech?
It would be nice if the client was usable without having to register with you guys. Is that something you're looking into?

You seem to draw a parallel to other types of victim blaming. Normally, people mean by that blaming the victim not because they are the perpetrator, but because they should have protected themselves better (or have hidden their vulnerability better, etc).

This incident has nothing to do with that kind of vicim blaming - so I'm not sure what you're trying to point out here.

Furthermore, applying a label like "victim blaming" pejoratively is harmful to a rational discussion because you imply that it is intrinsically harmful, even though that's impossible to state categorically - the notion of blame and victim are so broad you can apply thing to all kinds of beneficial behavior. It's no better than the cliche "think of the kids".

Enterprise IT is broken enough that those multiple system replacement projects were going to happen anyway because of accumulated technical debt and broken development and maintenance processes, and replacing a backend DB as part of that replacement is a rounding error in expense. Sure, it takes a lot of time for the transition to be complete, but lots of those transitions off Oracle are already underway.

Because embedding new species into an untested environment can be devastating.
