Well that was weird.

tldr;

Windows has 92% OS share. Windows 10 only accounts for 24% (maybe).

Windows 10 is so, so secure. How to make people upgrade?

Windows 10 new update will have advertising. Other OS's sure look good now.

I feel like this section of the Economist doesn't get much editorial review.
Yeah, like many others I maintain my configuration files in Git, so having to use files to configure is a pro, not a con, at least for me! I haven't been using VS Code but this sole factor might be the reason I will reconsider using it in the future.

Some might say having both manual configuration and automated dialog would be better, but many such interfaces ruin the structures of my intentionally organized setting files. I will take no GUI than misbehaving GUI at any time.
Ok, I don't mean "stop writing C", but "stop reading C": people too often look at not-even-difficult things and say "I happen to not have bothered to learn that, so you shouldn't use it in writing, as I couldn't read it", which to me sounds exactly like someone saying "I happen to have a first grade reading level, so you shouldn't use big words or long sentences or prepositions, because I didn't understand them". There are times and places where that is appropriate, but those are not all times and places, not I would argue the majority of times and places.
Please don't.

Also, Chrome puts a little speaker icon on the tab, so users might notice.
This looks great, I've been toying with something similar built on top of Keybase that I just use for personal passwords, but using KBFS means it should be simple to extend it to shared passwords, since you just store it in the `private/me,you` directory instead of `private/me`.

My concern with using something like this or pass is that I have to manage the distribution/backup of the store/vault/db myself - whereas I can throw my laptop off a cliff, buy a new one, login to Keybase, and my passwords are still there.
Is the cause "air" pollution, or could it be "noise" pollution? I would think living near loud traffic areas might lead to less quality sleep for the brain. And a lack of sleep is linked with alzheimers. Just a thought.
it reminds me of the awesome team who get involved with the numberphile youtube series. guys like james grimes and matt parker. inspiring the love.

> Should we even have to consider that a pacemaker could be used to gather data about us before we consent to a pacemaker? It shouldn't.

Your pacemaker gathers that data (exertion history over time) so that your doctor can view it after the fact and ask you "what were you doing last Thursday afternoon? The pacemaker says it was running extra high between 3:30 and 4:30."

I think most people would opt into such a device for their own health - in fact, many might wear it on their wrist and pair it with their phone.
Thanks! Though my (dated?) concern is probably not all that common, you could think of adding something like "Split-testing to improve SEO is a perfectly legitimate marketing technique" in your FAQ/technical copy.
Science is evidence based. Unfortunately, individual people don't always live up to sciences standards.
There appears to be no way to bind a keyboard shortcut for running an arbitrary task. https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode/issues/6550

By default F5 is "continue debugging," but debugging is limited to Node, so I don't think that's what I want.

Incidentally my MBP has no F5 key :)
This is part of what hindered me in getting started. "But these advices are as obvious as Sun Tzu's Art of War, everyone does it".

What I got reading the groovehq blog post that was posted here was that you should be spending little bit of time on multiple strategies until you find one that sticks.

More importantly keeping experiments cheap, fast and not so time consuming to put out in the wild. I liked that <10hr approach from the other HN comment.
You only get a single duplicate of the library no matter how many things depend on it.

Huh?

If a snap includes version 1.0.0 of libxyz, and another does the same, you have two copies. If a third snap comes along and uses version 1.0.0 libxyz, you now have three.

Snaps do not automatically de-duplicate today.

That means two copies of the library living on disk and in memory at run-time.
Wow, such passive racism on HN. H1b is mostly targeted because it is associated with Indians. Are those sweet Canadians not stealing American jobs on TN visa ? Are your Australian mates not getting american jobs on E-3 visa ? Oh wait, they look white so no problem. But you see bunch of brown folks suddenly moving into your neighbourhood and think.. Geez.. These foreignours took'urrr'job.

Yes, like any government program, it is been abused but there are more than enough high paying jobs available in Tech. Indians are one of the richest demographics in USA. If Indians are such a low wage misers, what happens overnight ?

Only solution of h1b visa is to allow free movement of switching jobs. Right now a h1b worker is practically a slave of his/her employer which companies like TCS, Infosys exploits freely.
A few questions about your product (I run SEO and digital marketing at LendUp - YCW12). This is very, very cool.

* What types of optimizations does it do/do you test?

* I assume tests take a while to run, waiting for Google to re-index etc. Do you essentially monitor rank changes, assume that Google has re-indexed at that point, and use that as the data to optimize on? Or do you have some smart way to monitor for when Google re-indexes?

* I'm again assuming here - that a user will plug in a few variations of things to test, and let your software test them? Or are there automatic optimizations the software tries to make?

* How many tests can one do in a given time period, without confounding test & control variants? It seems like they would take a while to run?

* Is there a good way to control for non-technical/non-content-based changes (e.g. external, links)? For example we get hundreds of negative links pointed at us per week. Do we just hope/assume that's not the cause of rank changes?
How does this compare with the other offerings in the space?

I agree that Philosophy is important, and probably more so as you say, but a love of Philosophy and an appreciation for Mathematics is hard to beat.

Philosophy can invite discord due to the circular nature of using language to define language with the intention that this is supposed to bring clarity to our reasoning. Not to mention that the name "Philosophy" is often co-opted by charlatans to advance their brands.

But Philosophy coupled with Mathematics brings a kind of calm that's removed from language and an appreciation for simple, provable, truths.
That happened to my coworker. All of a sudden windows 10. There was a way to revert it to the older version, but it took some time.
I don't know. But I don't think too many other omnivores were usually eaten: cows, chickens, sheep, even horses are all herbivores.

To a larger point, the imprecision of the rule would have been dictated both by customs and limitations in knowledge of the time: culture inasmuch as there would be no need to restrict eating omnivores that nobody ate anyway, and knowledge would dictate how precise you could be while still being safe: we now know that pork is ok to eat, but only because we have the tools to reliably determine whether pork is tainted, and build processes and supply chains that minimize that. For civilizations that didn't yet have that insight, much safer to avoid the whole thing.

I guess we'll just have to completely disagree on that.

I don't see why this is scary. I think it's somewhat comparable to the police examining his clothes, for example, and finding no traces of sweat or smoke, which would make his story not credible. Or what about looking at how many steps a Fitbit recorded? If the pacemaker had a GPS or something embedded in it, that would be egregious, but a pacemaker collecting data on the pace it's making is expected, and the police should be able to look at it with a warrant. Police can access medical records with a warrant, and this is basically just a very recent medical record.

>> "I'd also be concerned about customers not having an easy way to understand our pricing."

That would likely to be best expressed relative to major PPC players like Google.

For example, "clicks are 20% cheaper than Google for the same keywords."

Anyway, just nitpicking, awesome solution to a big problem. Good luck!
Dave Beazley (Python expert and author of SWIG) was an expert witness and analyzed a huge body of code. This is his fascinating talk about his adventure:

So, what happens when you lock a Python programmer in a secret vault containing 1.5 TBytes of C++ source code and no internet connection? Find out as I describe how I used Python as a secret weapon of "discovery" in an epic legal battle.

Why not? It's like saying "surely, from the guys whose raison d'etre is to research nuclear physics, these accelerator data are not very convincing". These people find examples of media bias and publish them. How the fact that they are specializing in doing it somehow invalidates their results?

There is nothing that I could do with them, but I love their specs, specially when I think about my first MS-DOS computer.

So I imagine there would be lots of nice maker opportunities when that support comes out, not only for Rust, but for other LLVM frontends as well.
I don't get that mindset at all. I can see desiring a file/command line interface for settings, but to want no GUI option at all for others is just strange.
Are you using Firefox? I have the same issues, and I believe it's caused by CSS z-order bugs in Firefox.

Uh, no.

Nicotine, THC, etc. are the active ingredients expected to cause cognitive effects.

The particles are regarded as particularly unwanted--especially by marijuana users.

This is the whole idea behind vaporizers.
Well, the reason why corporate users are holding on to W7 is easy: training costs. With XP and even W7, you could at least switch the majority of the GUI to look and feel like good old W95/98/ME... no way to do so with W10.

Also many companies don't want the legal risk associated with telemetry (you never know what data leaves your premises and heads towards MS), and small-ish businesses are afraid of the non-disableable automatic updates - I certainly wouldn't want to get into the office and $essential_program has stopped working over night due to an update gone bad.
Thanks for the link! I'm going to try to set aside some time to watch these lectures in the future. I've always wanted to learn more math in my spare time, but I've been unsure how to approach it outside of a classroom.
Yeah totally, and I usually fall back on "classic" methods like linear and forest algorithms. It's always good to remind myself of how many domains ML is applicable to, not just image and text analysis which seems to be the hot topic of the day.
Same reason they can't make a spouse testify against you. The chilling effect would be problematic. (Or, if you want something more medical, why Physicians or Psychiatrists can't be force to testify against you.)

As a former medical person, and a current tech person; I'm sitting here wondering how I could write software that would allow me to get the data to help and protect my patient's health, while still protecting/limiting the data from things/actions like this one.

When helping my patients to make the decision of whether or not to have a pacemaker installed, I don't want them worrying if it's ever going to become evidence against them at some later date.
Guitar d00ds having obscure, nonsensical reasons for things because "mah tones!"? Say it ain't so.

I mean, nearly every tube head on the market has an essentially pointless standby/bypass switch because of the mistaken belief that you need to warm up your tubes for some arbitrary amount of time in a modern amp and keep them warm.

I forget which manufacturer it was that dropped the switch on one model and saw sales plummet and got freaked out support calls asking why the switch wasn't there. Next iteration had the switch back.
Thanks Tom. Would love to buy you guys a beer sometime. : )

why would would you keep debug info like variable names while compiling w/ -O3 in the 1st place?
well, it's an editor for programming. those tools are usually all about typing text, automatically completing text, and validating text. appling those idea to a json config file shouldn't be allien to a programmer.

I would assume they would being writing. That would likely be the first step most would take. After that their abilities in mathematics, or just a general interest in problem solving would take them pretty far (barring games and internet)
It's true, but on the other hand I can't think of a term for "good marketing person" that hasn't been ruined :).
You don't need clothing to stay alive, nor a fitbit.

And medical history can't really be used to indict someone. Where this clearly was.

EDIT: can't be used to indict, only as addition evidence for a trial. It's an important distinction, but I'm not sure I think it's okay either.
Being able to own up to a problem doesn't imply an ability to fix the problem going forward.

"Test-recover backups" is ops 101. "Monitor your backup process to be sure your backup store isn't empty" is ops 101. "Script your rollouts so you don't have an ops person doing SSH on boxes" is... ok, that one might be ops 102.

This points to a company with almost no understanding of how to operationalize software. There are certain to be far more landmines, possibly even bigger ones. Hiring an ops person to fix these problems is definitely possible - and I sincerely wish GitLab luck getting a competent ops team in place before the next crisis.
But now it's pretty unlikely Trump's FCC will call them out on it.
Exactly, They know their hardware, and trying to optimize their software for their hardware.

Microsoft do know what hardware people use (in third world country I would say 99% of people do use low dpi monitor), but they changed and ruined people experience anyway. That is the main point, they don't care about existing user.

I bet if apple monitors was low-dpi monitor, apple would do everything they can to improve font rendering in their low-dpi monitors.

Do you see the mindset?
I highly suggest this thread to be "stickied" or made aware of in someway. It's literally gold and this is exactly why toiling the jungles of HN comments is worth it-you discover gems that you can put into action.

I disagree. I find math much more interesting. Philosophy is vague. It's all guesses and interpretation, with the exception perhaps of pure logic. I like the purity of math. It's all a matter of preference.
I agree, but there is a lot of value in approaching Philosophy from a mathematical context (both as a student and as a philosopher- c.f. Russel, Wittgenstein, et al had backgrounds in mathematics and left a huge mark on the subject).

I was a math major for much of my undergraduate career, but by my junior year I realized that I was actually only interested in the philosophy behind it. In fact, I had little interest in my freshman Philosophy 101 course, though after studying math, I realized that I would have loved to study philosophy more. As a freshman, I was enamored by math as it was this ivory tower of abstract truth.

I loved learning about what math could say and how the notation worked and the notion of formal proof etc. but slogging through proofs was abhorrent after awhile and I dropped the program. I had come to understand that math was actually just the same sort of discourse as "soft" philosophy, just formalized. Learning about counterexamples to math as a "closed system of reasoning"[0] (Godel's theorems, constructive mathematics, etc.) simultaneously ruined my perception of the nobility of math and spurred my interest in philosophy (specifically analytic philosophy and philosophy of language) and cognitive science. That's where the real "unsolvable" or "interesting" problems lay (e.g. the mind-body problem).

I would highly recommend anyone who is intellectually curious to learn and understand formal mathematics for the purposes of understand philosophy, but also to recognize when to quit (if ever!).

[0] - I may be butchering these terms, but I hope the meaning is clear
Church was the original probabilistic programming language used for the book, and as per another comment in this thread and a draft PhD dissertation[1], WebPPL is the successor to Church.

"Niche" is probably in the eyes of the beholder if the audience is deliberately diving into probabilistic programming languages and probabilistic cognitive models.

I believe the appropriate recourse is upvote.
How do you even get a job as a philosopher?
For https://www.findlectures.com, I've found writing articles for other places helpful. E.g. dev.to has a big twitter following, which leads to things getting passed around.

Similarly, if you write something that does well on small subreddits, a lot of times they will make it into Cooper Press email lists later.
We could continue this debate over whether the increase in restrictions is rational, by me pointing out that as all-cause child mortality falls, and as others methods of getting children from A to B become cheaper, it makes sense for parents to take steps to avoid sources of risk that were acceptable in the past. But that is not even really my point. The point is that the discussion in the thread is hopeless if most commenters focus on feeling smug without considering all these effects in detail.
I think it makes sense for fragile veggies like greens.

Potatoes do fine on the truck ride in from the countryside, but baby arugula, not so much.
Potatoes are also a lot easier to plant and harvest by machine.

Lawns don't make any economic sense; convert them to leafy greens and fancy perennials that are not economic to grow at a scale. Deliver greens to your neighborhood via bike. They are light. Sell them to fancy restaurants for $15 a pound and not have to pay for trucking them in from 50 miles away.

Then, convert equal amount of farmland being used for green, back into wildish stuff, so birds, bees, etc have room to live and improve (pollinate) the staple crops.
We can set up a demo for you. Currently we are working on a way to talk directly to ava without installing her.
sounds a lot like being a grad student.
I must be in the huge minority. I haven't had a single issue with Windows 10 (if we disregard privacy). Literally everything has just worked.

I will say thinking about it that my computer used for 99.99% gaming/internet/text documents. I keep anticipating that something is going to go horribly wrong but so far it's been great.

I hate the menu and store that it shows so almost everything I tend to open has a shortcut on the desktop or is pinned to the toolbar.

Having a functional toolbar on both monitors. That right there was all I wished windows 7 would do but otherwise I can barely tell that the OS is different.

I never used windows 8 so I don't have a comparison to that but I've seen Windows ME...
The way I see it, most subjects in school focus on teaching you what to think. Philosophy focuses more on how to think.

That's obviously not true in all cases (there are plenty of dogmatic philosophies) but in my opinion it's much more common for people to teach things like math, biology, history, etc. as a series of objective, memorized facts and formulas. Doing that with philosophy is far more difficult because so much of it is subjective and relies on criticism and analysis. In that regard, learning philosophy serves as a foundation for learning all other subjects, or learning anything in life, for that matter.

I also personally believe there's more beauty in great philosophy than in any poem or song. There are plenty of Socratic dialogues, stoic passages, and political pamphlets that still give me chills when I read them.

Chapter VI in this short book of dialogues, for example: http://www.gutenberg.org/files/17490/17490-h/17490-h.htm
> Should patients be made aware of this risk when they're receiving the devices?

Yes, if they find out via the internet, instead of the physician; now your patient doesn't trust you as much, and you can't do your job.

Shameless self plug, I actually build a project called passgo, modeled after Jason's pass project as well. I'm a huge fan of pass' simplicity, but I really dislike managing keys:

The difference is mine does not use PGP and is instead password based, but the command line interface is almost identical. I now use passgo to encrypt and manage my ssh keys, etc.
You've got a very obvious typo in your example code, plus a couple of missing semicolons.
