The EO at issue is all about legal immigrants.

Don't forget this. Don't let this turn cloudy in your mind. The administration campaigned for a crackdown on illegal immigration and immediately went after legal immigrants instead, despite assurances to the contrary.
I use it in a VM now and then. The only thing from the later versions i'd want to see is adding thumbnails in the file browser, being able to right click in a start menu entry to show the file/folder properties without going through explorer , being able to search apps and recent documents with win+[text] and being able to drag the taskbar buttons to reorder them.

Beyond that Windows NT's interface is just perfect. And TBH none of the above are really essential, just small quality of life things. But even without those i'd be fine.

I think modern Windows add too many little distractions with icons, notifications/popups, gadgets, etc everywhere.

Also the classic theme. I want that back. I run Win7 with the classic theme and Windows 9x/NT4 color scheme (the one with the soft light in the 3d elements, not the "Windows Classic" in 2K/XP/Vista/7 which lacks it - i had to import the colors through a reg file from NT to get them) and i like how it looks. I used Win8 and Win8.1 for a while and ran a hack that disabled theme files (which forced Windows to fallback to the classic theme) but that broke Metro/UWP apps. It wasn't an issue with Win8.x but Win10 uses UWP apps everywhere and it becomes unusable. It might sound a frivolous reason, but i reverted back to Win7 because i don't like how newer Windows look like.

Since i don't expect Microsoft to do any of the above, my long term plan is to make my own environment that looks like Windows NT 4 in Linux :-P.
A client-side transpiler from something like WPF to HTML.

I want native, rich binding of data in whatever directions necessary and a model that makes sense. I don't want any bleed from HTML oddities, or even any access to the HTML layer. Abstract that away from me entirely with something that makes sense. Let me publish packages so I can deploy UI components in a nice tiny bundle. I'm fine with Javascript being the code layer, but give me a modern render layer, even if under the hood it's built on quirky HTML.

I feel like every library out there is a half-attempt at this, but every single one ends up being "HTML, but with data binding". I don't want "HTML with something". I want a modern presentation layer, using modern concepts.

Angular kind of does a decent job at binding, but I still need to handle weird corner cases in HTML and hack things together. Polymer is further from HTML, but the binding syntax is pretty gimped, and you end up using a bunch of div's anyway to get things just right.

Maybe this exists, but my Google-fu is to weak to find it.
>Progressives have always been unhappy with things like warrantless spying, the no fly list, using drones to bomb weddings and funerals because someone on a 'kill list' is a relative. Progressives have been deeply disappointed with Obama for continuing these policies.

Continuing and extending, you mean.

It was like a great wall of noise suddenly disappeared the day Obama was inaugurated. They may have been disappointed, but they were pretty silent in their disappointment unless you knew which websites to go to. Where were the riots then?

And then they were so sure Hillary would be elected they figured all that extraconstitutional EO stuff would be fine, because Hillary is one of us, right? More of a will to power thing than any indication of principle, wouldn't you say?

>Generally conservatives appear to only get upset when it's a nominal Democrat wielding these powers. And switch to total support once a Republican is in office.

That's not an opinion shared by any conservatives I know until this president. Conservatives feel they've been punished for refusing to color outside the lines. For not using the IRS and the rest of the federal bureaucracy against political opponents like Obama did. For trying to compromise on SCOTUS appointments. For tolerating advocacy against their political beliefs by tax supported institutions like NPR and Universities.

If you want to know what conservatives are thinking now, it boils down to this: "Fuck you. We'll play by your rules, then. The constitution is a 'living document' that says what we say it says, and the structure and institutions of the government are only useful in that they advance our agenda."

Incorrect. There are at least four ways, without violating the Constitution, Trump could stop being President before his term ends.

Not having an "us v. them" attitude is foolish (and possibly suicidal) when "them" are genuinely opposed to "us".

I'm curious how you plan to approach this one. One nice thing about passff is that it can find the right password file based on if the file name matches the domain. I don't need to drill down to my bank/paypal file when I visit paypal.com for instance.

It would be nice if a public github repo would suffice, but putting a git remote on a usb stick works pretty nicely and is private as well.

It's called nonviolent resistance and resisting normalization. It's very healthy: https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/monkey-cage/wp/2016/11/2...

Reminder: Uber is the utmost evil.

1. It dismantles the very society by undermining the rule of law. What would remain of society if every business decided there are some regulations it could wilfully ignore and build a business based on this?

2. It pushes subprime car mortgages on its drivers. Then the repayment comes out of their wages. Often these cars have remote inhibitors so if you didn't make enough, your car won't start next week. All this has a name: indebted servitude.

3. It launched automated cars with known bugs that put cyclists in deadly danger. It even admitted doing this although not the "deadly" part.

These are all easy to verify to facts. I know I will be downvoted, I am always downvoted when I post this (although 3. is somewhat new), I do not know why I am downvoted -- but I will not stop. Edit: barely a minute after posting I am already downvoted but there's never an answer disputing the facts.

The first is just plain stupid, and the other seems actively harmful (though likely ideologically the same orientation as Bannon or Priebus would have recommended, if not the same individuals, so perhaps not actually a net negative), so I don't see any good that would be lost by them not being attached to Trump.

Hello. Same as above here. Applied few weeks ago, still no answer.
Bannon disagreed with him (see the quotes above) yet he's listening to Bannon.

Consider the possibility that your caricatures of Trump being stupid and irrational might not be true - if they were, he probably wouldn't have won the election.

If you look at his cabinet picks, and the actions he's taken so far, there is pretty clear Thiel influence. The 2 for 1 rule on regulations is pretty clearly Thiel. So is Balaji Srinavasan and O'Neill for the FDA. In fact, much of the transition team is Thiel, as is much of the advisory council.

Silicon Valley culture needs to recognize its tendency towards bullying people that are perceived to not fit the ideological mold, and fix it. Like now. Brendan Eich and Peter Thiel are two examples in recent memory. In addition to being ethically wrong, it's also bad for business in the long run. Trump isn't going away anytime soon, and part of his nationalist populist economic strategy to pick winners and losers. Silicon Valley may find itself as one of the losers.

The complexity is mind blowing. And yet, does it need to be? Recently I started looking at how Windows Update works. It self-updates first with a reasonably complex web services API, then it has this ridiculious way of checking what is installed by looking at undocumented registry keys and even loads its own registry component hive.

It then works out via web services what needs to be updated, and uses deltas to download file chunks.

It downloads and installs the new updates into the winsxs folder, then updates hardlinks from this folder into the c:\windows\system32 directory, but does not remove the old package.

Then it installs the updates, which can be done with a cab file, mum file, msi file or some other mechanism.

To do all if this it uses WSUS, Component Based Servicing (CBS), Component Servicing Interface (CSI), Windows Side by Side (winsxs), NTFS link features, Windows Installer and probably much more besides.

And yet it is unbelievably fragile. I can't tell you how many times I've found broken packages. Microsoft have turned on CBS logging on all systems and recently I've found that hard drives have run out of space because it has taken up gigabytes of space (this is because Microsoft archives log files in CAB files, but these have 2GB limits and if the log file goes over 2 GB it can't handle this), gigabytes of dusk space is taken up with useless old updates that until very recently you couldn't remove.... the datastore.edb file is massive and can corrupt, security patches had issues because there have been so many of them and Microsoft had to make a new CAB file format, and Windows 7 and later has the most insane package dependency generating algorithm that I kid you not but it spends hours just generating it. Some of this stuff still hasn't been fixed.

Then I look at a Debian based system. I've literally never had an issue I couldn't work out how to solve in 10 minutes. It just works, and in an incredibly fast time - and I virtually never have to reboot!
I refuse for a moment to entertain the notion that you, of all possible personalities on Hacker News, find it ethically indefensible for a group of people to use their market power to influence policy. Pull all the rhetorical tricks you have in your bag --- "virtue signaling" is so stale it's begun to stink --- and I still won't dignify this argument from you.
New code won't have the same history, and therefore should not have the same structure. If it does, the code must have been copied.

This seems a little weird--what if the author just remembers to, for example, make sure and handle those edge cases when starting again?
Yeah, that was my project, it worked quite nicely. However, the biggest reason was that my Raspberry Pi was my only server at that point, and besides, tranferring 10GB out of my home connection to a VPS would've been too slow for my impatient self. I think the file was stripped of all other data (which brought it down to about 4GB) and I put it on a thumb drive instead.

Nowadays I would have used a VPS for that. The point with S3 or any other cloud solution is that they make sure you're up and running. Even though it might still be useful, the need for good service monitoring is as good as gone when moving to one of these cloud based platforms. And then I'm not even taking into account the time you have to invest in setting up and configuring a RPi properly vs just pushing a repo to Github Pages, or uploading a zip file to S3.

Heroku or other cloud platforms can be crazy expensive, but for static file hosting, S3 or Github Pages is more than enough and quite affordable.
Seems like it can imply violence, but you're right doesn't have to. I feel like calling a boycott bullying is still a strong misrepresentation.
