Your first citation has nothing to do with disclosing combinations. It's a question of whether documents that would be protected by the Fifth Amendment if they were in the clients' possession are likewise protected when they've been transferred to the clients' attorney's possession. SCOTUS ruled that the documents would've been ineligible for Fifth Amendment protection because they are evidentiary, not testimonial, so it didn't matter whether or not the attorneys or the clients physically possessed them.

Quoth Justice White from that decision:

> Within the limits imposed by the language of the Fifth Amendment, which we
> necessarily observe, the privilege truly serves privacy interests; but the Court has
> never on any ground, personal privacy included, applied the Fifth Amendment to
> prevent the otherwise proper acquisition or use of evidence which, in the Court's
> view, did not involve compelled testimonial self-incrimination of some sort.

The second case also does not involve either the disclosure of combinations or compelled opening of locks. It affirms that compelling a person to sign a document granting banks permission to transmit any account records which may exist to the government does NOT violate the Fifth Amendment because it is not testimonial self-incrimination.

The third case appears closer to the mark in that it discusses the way in which produced documentation can be employed to incriminate a witness who produced it, but that case specifically seems to involve the interaction of the statute under which the accused was granted immunity. It also deals with a witness who produced documentation pursuant to a subpoena and a grant of immunity provided in connection with that, not an accused who is the subject of the investigation.

I'm not sure where you pulled these citations, but none of them appear to have any relevance to the assertions you've made.

Some research seems to indicate that the question of whether a defendant must supply the combination to a safe has never been directly considered by the Supreme Court, though it's been mentioned, tangentially, as a distinct thing from using a key to "open a strongbox", with the implication that disclosing a combination may be protected but opening a safe with a key wouldn't be. This analogy is employed in one place in the decision issued in the third case, but it's only for illustrative effect.

I'm sure that in the not-too-distant future we'll see a case about this make it up to the Supreme Court (possibly even this one). My expectation is that SCOTUS will rule that it is proper to compel the defendant to decrypt the disks.
Is "bool(a1) + ... + bool(aN) == M" not just "a1 || a2...||an"?

I'd guess that any installer would be expected to do this, this particular item doesn't sound "shady".
I've been using it for a few months on Windows - mostly because I wanted a bash-like shell on Windows.

No problems so far. Quite happy with it. The ability to do custom stuff in Python is an obvious benefit.

On Linux I use zsh. The only reason I do not replace it with xonsh is that I don't have the time to do so. My zsh setup is fairly plain - I could never learn advanced bash/zsh shell usage - way too magical for me.

If I had the time, I'd probably just switch my Linux prompt to xonsh. xonsh is much easier to learn than zsh.

I cannot really comment on the performance. Have not noticed issues so far, but frankly, I do not need a high performing shell.

As for that blog post, he made some good points, but there was a lot of pettiness over his contributions that were rejected. I know many people don't like filter, but he has to realize that many Python programmers do like filter - including myself.
Many parts of trucks and buses are air operated. I have a small bus (converted to a little house-on-wheels) and air pressure is needed for the breaks to work, doors to stay closed etc etc. While I can understand why we use it for breaks, when it comes to wipers and doors I feel someone took the idea too far. Fixing any kind of pressure drop is a lot harder than wiring any electrical engine.
A bit unrelated, but on retina devices the screenshot on the oppsdaily landing page looks a bit blurry :)
Yes, but doing business as usual will never bring collective action.

I would think that $19.6B would have been a right price for Google, for at least part of that spectrum.
To be honest, the author of that blog post seems like he's kinda being a bit of a dick.

> I submitted several lint cleanup pull requests. Getting each one accepted was a challenge. Primarily because the project owner isn’t really interested in having lint clean code.

Having read through the PRs he filed[1], the "challenge" the author faced was to do with his needlessly changing things around to match Google style guide, which the project doesn't actually observe. (There's a lot of comments of the form "as a former Google employee, my shit doesn't stink" in there, as it happens.) In fact, most of them were merged straight away except his last one[2], where he'd changed existing code away from the project's preferred style, been asked not to, then threw a tanty and closed the issue.

> for d in filter(os.path.isdir, path):

This and the other example he gives are both from that last issue, which leads me to think this blog post was part of the aforementioned tanty. (It was published on the same day, too.) Let's be honest, if the worst issue you can find with a codebase is that it uses filter() instead of a generator expression, it's probably a pretty good codebase.

> All you have to do is Google “python map filter deprecated”.

Yes, do, and you'll find they aren't. The BDFL doesn't like them, but that's not the same thing.

> I noticed that the directions for running the unit tests did not test the code in my local git repository — it tested the code installed by pip. ... Anthony told me he wrote the directions to specifically test the installed code, not the code in his git repository and he didn’t understand why anyone would test their uncommitted code.

I can't find the issue where he raises this, or where the maintainer says that. Perhaps the author isn't familiar with `pip install -e`? All of the other issues in that first 'P.S.' paragraph appear to be fixed, some by him even.

tl;dr This doesn't seem like a damning criticism of fundamental project management issues so much as a tantrum being thrown by someone because they couldn't walk in to a project and impose their stylistic preferences on everyone else.

I guess the train thing isn't done everywhere because it basically requires that you rebuild every single train station for it to work (plus, you have to re-do all the railing to have space for an additional platform in between).

I do agree that new stations should do this.
I agree with you. Unfortunately feminism is often too self-centered as a leftist ideology so it tends to ignore other classes and other inequalities.

This might be a problem down South, I don't dispute it; but over here in the North, it's anything but. There is still a huge amount of brownfield to regenerate, and we desperately need to hold on every little bit of greenfield the Victorians failed to build mills on.

The urban developments this pieces glorify, like New Islington, compound the problem by being completely unbalanced towards the young and childless: small flats built for profit, not for people to live in with kids. Medium- and High-rise are also very much at odds with typical English individualism, and people simply won't live in them if they can afford anything else. A lot of these fancy new towers around Manchester are half-empty.

What we need up North is a serious policy of brownfield cleanup. Give local authorities more money to dispose of all shit resulting from 200 years of environmental abuse, instead of enabling more abuse on what little good greenfield is left.
Obviously no, the first (for M==1) means exactly one is true, the latter at least one is true. But a1||...||aN is equivalent to bool(a1)+...+bool(aN)>0 (assuming no integer overflow :).
Social networks are useless with pseudonimous accounts - unless there is some link between pseudonyms. The social aspect is in building the network, having reputation, maintaining a circle of friends and acquaintances, etc. but you can't build network out of throwaway accounts. Of course, HN is not a social network - it's a news/discussion site. So if you don't care about the reputation - which is not prominent anyway, so there's not much reason to care - you can use throwaways freely. But for most social networking functions it's a no go.

Correct me if I am wrong, it won't save you, but it should detect iirc (al least most) and then you can take any required action.

On the fact that it's broken on some systems. Isn't this like complaining about air bags that have been disabled ? It however very good you report that they are broken on some systems.
I have a technical question about this comparison. In the locked door example, is the warrant an allowance for police to enter the area without the owner's permission, or is the warrant an order for the owner to give permission and assist?
But what if you write it?

I'm happy with non-commercial use (including providing the source), but if someone wants to make money from software I write, it's only fair that they should pay me, and under the open source model they don't have to, and usually they won't.
So, you don't think they would, believing there is another layer of encrypted data that you could decrypt, lock you up until you "comply"?
You made me realize that I was probably wrong here, i.e. you do not have to allow the the police to enter your home acting against your own best interest, and as far as I can tell this also applies to the USA.

This raises the question if there is any other situation where you have to act against your own best interest, otherwise my initial argument falls apart and it seems unreasonable to try to force someone to decrypt his hard drive.

Another question is, how far can I push the search warrant scenario? Am I allowed to use force against the police to prevent them from entering in the same way I may use force against burglars? Am I allowed to shoot at the police? Not that it would buy you much, it is pretty unlikely that you can hide at home forever, but from a purely theoretical standpoint?
> the government ... will subsidize operating costs

By which you mean taxpayers will subsidize operating costs.

I wonder exactly how regressive the wealth transfer from the average middle-class California taxpayer to the California weekly-commute bullet-train businessperson will be, in practice.
Except for the performance problem (I'll probably not be concerned with my workflow), what are the pros/cons of xonsh for you? Some of my concerns are:

- Does having direct access to Python really make your work in command line faster/easier?

- Is there some paradigms that are more difficult to express in xonsh (redirect, pipes, …)

- Did you happen to encounter bugs, or made mistakes without intent to do it (like overwriting/removing files, …) ?

In other words, without the performance problem, would you continue to use xonsh and recommend it?
No, it's true when exactly M are true. "a1 || a2 || ... || an" is true when at least one is true.

The latter is the same as "a1 + ... + an == 1 || a1 + ... + an == 2 || ... || a1 + ... + an == n".
A little overstated to say that's half their SKUs, but I see your point.
You're right. I've only driven regular sized cars. I have started them on pretty steep inclines though, around 30%. I'm quick enough that I never roll backwards more than an inch or two.

Also, I'm not so sure that the friction from the car's weight + a tiny amount of backwards momentum is any worse for the clutch than the car's weight + friction from the hand brake.
Funnily enough, he didn't :)

Initially, Torvalds wanted to call the kernel he developed Freax (a combination of "free", "freak", and the letter X to indicate that it is a Unix-like system), but his friend Ari Lemmke, who administered the FTP server where the kernel was first hosted for download, named Torvalds's directory linux.

The context of the discussion is the topic of the article, whether or not he's interested in the general discussion, he needs to be willing to read a fucking article.

Or are we to believe this person is somehow well informed when they can't be bothered to read a short, simple article?
Well, any sort of job that isn´t strictly associated with pure officework.

Something like doctor, nurse, any sort of trade, outside sales, any sort of in-person service, police, fireman, trucking/delivery. Most of these professions employ more people than IT, I believe.

Even a lot of other professions have certains times of the year/situation where you have to be there. For instance, if you're an accountant, during end of year inventories, you have to be around to take a physical inventory. If you're a lawyer or judge, you have to show up to court.

On the other hand, a lot of decisions are taken on the spot. Really, an astonishing amount. Of course the higher the volume of the product is, and the harder it is to change, the more effort is put into decisions, and there's seemingly no upper limit to how much effort managers are willing to allocate.

Based only on the landing page: you need people for your service to work, but at the beginning you don't have any, of course. Your launch may be difficult. To create a first community, my 2 cents advice is that you should focus on a more precise type of users (precise in location and in interests) so that you can bootstrap progressively.

Yeah, I knew the brakes were pneumatic, but the wipers seemed like an odd choice...the system is bulky with air tubes all around to make it work. And, it's noisy. The military trucks are a little odd in that they are 24 volts instead of the usual 12. That would have perhaps limited off-the-shelf choices for electric wiper motors.
Certainly. But I think people read the TL;DR: as "oh, design patterns are bad" or "don't use the wrong tool for a job." A better TL;DR is a bit more nuanced:

Broad familiarity with your tools and their applicability (design patterns or otherwise), is a prerequisite to picking a reasonable tool for a given task.
Where is this bitterness and hostility coming from? How do you know what kind of user I am, and what kinds of works I may or may not be personally responsible for within the free software community?

I happen to know the struggle you speak of first-hand. I paid my bills early on in my journey by teaching courses related to the subject matter my project touched upon. Free software has _no opinions_ on the adequate income model for developers who involve themselves in its world. The beauty of free software is that it is agnostic to your kind of ethics-mongering, which is why I have chosen to be so intimately involved in it myself.

We all need to make a living, and I don't have any presumptions over how someone chooses to do it. However, I think you would be better to not force your particular difficulties and decisions on this front on the entire GNU/Linux user base.

Donald Trump is undoubtedly homophobic, I think he's just pointing out that for the country to be voting for him, to an extent a proportion of them must agree.

And I disagree about you saying the EU just wishes to become the United States of Europe. In almost no sense does anyone give up their "sovereignty" by joining the EU. Every country still creates it's own laws, governs how it wishes to and has full control over what happens to itself. The EU only allows free travel and trade between each of the countries within it and also a standard currency and standard regulations (to enable the free travel and trade to happen in a safe environment).
