I think you understood "free market" backwards mate. No one is forcing me to buy US or local for that matter, but demands are for those US companies to be "forced" to buy local labour.
Re-apply every year?

What reasonable assurance do I have that my kid won't get denied for his senior year, thus being $100K+ in debt and without a degree? (which is probably worse than the current federally subsidized system)

What assurance do I have that the terms won't get dramatically worse by a private lender for the junior and senior year and for this to be driven by "Now I've got you by the shorties" rather than by "basket weaving is not a lucrative career"?

What effect does that have on smart students of middle-income families who don't have the resources to pay for college without loans, yet make too much to get sufficient need-based grant money?
It's not just that; everything feels old and fragile when you mess with C++(/CLI); I was amazed I had to write a stupid post-build event just to copy the app.config to the build dir... why is the experience so different from when you use C#? When doing .NET stuff, it would be nice if those things would be the same.
Of course. I am just using it as a yardstick for security strength.

Is this an indian pun?

In any case:

> How can you complain that foreign worker is taking your job?

maybe you can't, but this is a straw-man; you can complain your wages are lower than they should be.

No one in the Techtopus scandal was likely 'low' page, but it was still wage theft.
Basketball. If grip is your main concern, simply play basketball. I remember during fitness tests at my first university after I squeezed grip measuring device outside its scale, the coach remarked that I surely must be playing basketball, he was seeing it all the time.
In general this is pretty good. One mistake that it doesn't make is to use low contrast for everything.

However, the code examples don't look very nice on my box due to the font which comes out as Nimbus Mono L. How about you link to an actual font? (I like Ubuntu Mono, though there are lots of other good programming fonts).

Also with respect to code samples, would black text on a white background be a possibuility?

VB6 was awesome. Would be great if they could release it as open source.

RAD (rapid application development) of GUI applications was never easier and such a joy then with VB6. I remember I was very sad when they announced their vision for dotNet - it took them additional four years until dotNet was available in v1. In the meantime they lost all developers to HTML and PHP & co. Dreamweaver WYSIWYG was good enough.
that is cool info, thank you!

i think the overarching point among all of this is that if you create a product or service that has implied continuous delivery of insight/experience/fun etc, then users might be more likely to be satisfied with their purchase

a $1.99 drum kit app might be an easier pill to swallow if the creator actively releases info on how to be a better musician, where to chat with super users...
I think it is because that Microsoft just opened an office in Munich...
The comment above is flagged so I am unable to understand what they said, but the effect of culture on a society is underrated in my opinion. There is kind of a widespread opinion that all of the advancement of white people is due to racism, yet ignore the fact that Asian Americans have a higher average income and net worth than whites. People of Jewish heritage make up a very small percentage of the population, yet make up a large percentage of the Nobel prize holders. I'm not saying differences are completely because of differences in culture; racism definitely exists. But I wonder what kind of effect that culture truly has on a population.
OT, but did your 'n' key fall off?
They did mention that point:

> Last, but not least, most expenditures related to the purchase of Microsoft licenses will contribute to the GDP of Ireland (where all Microsoft products sold in Europe are sourced from) rather than to local enterprises who support the open source solutions deployed today.
> No, since it is stupidly expensive in itself.

EFS is ridiculous cheap if you use it the way it's intended. It's billed per-byte so you only store things that you actually need shared on there.

If you're looking for an OCFS2 replacement for storing large volumes of data or to run something like Oracle RAC atop then you're probably better off either doing it yourself.

> Moreover, AWS services in general are ridiculously expensive for what has always turned out to be a sub-par experience. Overly complicated to set up and manage, lacklustre performance, and premium pricing. Thanks, but no thanks.

Besides the pricing argument, I'd disagree with all of those points. It's a joy to set up once you know what you're doing and performance is more than adequate for all the services I've used (with plenty of knobs to fiddle). Outside of external bandwidth pricing I don't even consider it that far out of line pricing wise.

Electron + React or React-native is the way to go. You get cross platform out of the box, mobile as well, it is silly easy to work with, hard parts all abstracted (notifications, updating, installers), the biggest dev community on earth and an immense eco system.

The traditional desktop application is dead. In desktop land you have dusty tools, slow and outdated UI frameworks (as in MVVM or worse: UI-in-code) like GTK, XAML, ..., barely any community or components to re-use. Microsoft itself starts to make its products on these new platforms. Visual Studio Code, or Office fabric for instance. Many popular everyday apps that people use without knowing it are Electron based.

We're currently transferring a huge C#/WPF monster into React. The gains are ridiculous. React runs circles around XAML (less code, less boilerplate, faster) while Redux makes handling state simple. And it's a thing of beauty seeing it run everywhere, Windows, Linux, MacOs. Android and IOS as well with few adaptions (React-native) while thanks to Redux the heart of the app is 1:1 portable.
The copy is very unclear. If you can, get a native english speaker to edit it for you. (It's early here, but after skimming it twice I still have no idea what your program does.)
Change everything is in context of this feature. Game changing is mentioned in the end in context of EBS and not this feature.

And the entire article is about AWS customers and it really is game changing for a customer like me.

Your comment is in poor taste.

Google's AI Has Learned to Become "Highly Aggressive" in Stressful Situations
I'm no longer playing that game, so sure.

I was contributing for some time to OpenOffice, and at one point starting working for a systems integrator, specialising in Linux and Open Source solutions. At this time, OSS was just coming out of academia, and enterprise had no interest in all this hippy bullshit. They needed a techie in a suit to come and tell them the how, why, and how much OSS would help and cost. As soon as a client would mention anything related to Linux or OSS to the salesdrone, I would be dragged into the discussion. This was a pretty cool job: lots of very large clients and projects which suited my background (designing and implementing very large scale infrastructure) and interests (Linux, Open Source). I was an active and vocal contributor within the OpenOffice project, recognising it as one of the key enablers for a possible Linux Desktop. Sun sent me increasingly strongly worded requests to "tone things down" - I was pushing hard for the idea of a community council, and Sun didn't like the idea of giving up control. One of the results of this was that I set up OOoForums.org, since we didn't really have a space to freely interact with end-users on the "official" site.

One not-so-fine-day I'm called into HR. VP's present. Heavy meeting. No warning. My employer had a strong and profitable relationship/partnership with Sun, we were selling big Sun iron into enterprise to the tune of millions per year, and Sun complained about my behaviour to my employer. I was told in no uncertain terms that if I wanted to stay happy at my job, I would do as I was told by Sun via backchannels. If not, I'd lose my job. Having a family to take care of, I dropped out of the whole scene the same day. (this is now about 12 or 13 years ago)

I left this company not long after, and did a project to deploy Linux Desktops with OpenOffice not long after. A Government dept, about 100 seats if I remember correctly. New building, new pc's for everyone, and we sold it as "A new version of windows". We spent a long time making KDE look like windows, and made sure everything worked. It was awesome, it cost a fraction, and the users loved it. I was hired by a sympathetic client who specifically wanted this. There were upper management changes during the project, and the new head let me know that my services were no longer required, since he was flown to Seattle by MS (from Europe) and they "explained" to him that MS was the way to go. I pointed to my (extremely solid) contract, and let him know he could do what he wanted after delivery. I was subjected to significant pressures for the duration of the project, and it really wasn't a lot of fun. A week after operational delivery, IBM and MS waltzed in, blitzed everything, and that was that.

Frustrating business....

You're conflating a 'professional' as a white-collar job classification, and a 'professional' computer user.

The macbook pro is a computer for professional computer users.

A professional philosophy professor has no need of a macbook pro, a professional video-editor does.

Being a 'professional; in your white-collar classification, doesn't imply that you're a professional computer user.

It's not an insular definition, it's a specific definition.

Haha, good one, but joking aside, I would rather prefer that the dishes can never get dirty, no matter what.

I don't think it's in Google best interest to add anti tracking features into Chrome browser (and same with MS and Apple). So for now on we must bring our own cloth to clean out the dishes or go to another restaurant where the dishes are always clean.

The problem is that it's impossible to change the current behaviour of the browsers without breaking the whole internet. It would be much easier and better to create a new browser (look at Tor Browser for example), that has a lot of anti tracking features enabled by default.

People know that if they want privacy, they can use this browser. But it's still a "big" hassle to install it, not to mention my grandmother knows Chrome/Firefox, but not Tor Browser so she will never use it.

We do not need to change the browsers to let them defend us, but to teach folk what privacy is and what to do if you don't want to get tracked.

PS: keep in mind that browser is 1 item in the big picture of "tracking private data". IoT devices are really booming now, and everything is tracking us, our watches, refrigerators, thermostats, ... we can't just install a AdBlocker there.
Publishers Still Fighting to Bury Libraries in Fees for Making Fair Use
My assumption would be that the people handling invoices are just not involved in that kind of stuff. At least when you're dealing with 'bigger' clients with their own billing departments.

I really like the idea but maybe talk to your direct point of contact at the client instead?
> Personally I wish all apps used Chrome's update mechanism. Its unobtrusive, the patches are tiny compared to the size of Chrome and it works great. Most users don't even know the updates are happening.

You can accomplish by checking the "Automatically download updates like this in the future" box in Sparkle. The problem, though, is that you have to trust the software to handle these updates perfectly if you want them to happen in the background for critical software. Chrome can do that, because Google has some of the best developers around working on the project, and because they have absurdly good development practices. (Not perfect, but far better than any independent developer or small shop working on the majority of apps that we're talking about).

Automatic updating is hard. About a year ago, there was an update to iTerm2 that broke the software completely. The fix was to temporarily downgrade while waiting for the next point release - but for people who allowed automatic updates, they simply discovered one morning that they couldn't open their terminal[0].

Slack had an issue as well about a year ago as well, though that issue was with their auto-updater itself being broken, and preventing them from upgrading. In that case, they had to request that affected users uninstall and reinstall the application, just to get the new version of the automatic updater installed[1].

[0] I think this was the one: https://gitlab.com/gnachman/iterm2/issues/4699

[1] It's hard to push an update to your software automatically if your automatic updater is what's broken.

I don't suppose you could tell us where the version number comes from then? I looked at opt/keybase/version of the 'now' package (20170214-1250 UTC) you host for Linux x64 and it says v1.4.12. What is the git commit reference for that version?
Haven't looked at the code in a long time and it's probably as you say, not very nice code, and you are right that indeed WP fits this thread, BUT, i take issue with this phrasing "terrible solution to any problem" leading the reader to think that whatever he is trying to do, WP is not the answer. If it was such a terrible solution it wouldn't be were it is.
I can see why the industry didn't adopt the Do Not Track header, as it would basically kill all targeting revenue goodness that's been built up over the years. Why not try and push for a unified IDFA instead, which has its benefits for targeting but also more control from a user perspective?

I don't really see an industry adoption of these fingerprinting techniques. The linked page took 20 seconds and 100% CPU before getting a fingerprint ID, so running that at scale seems pretty useless?
It's not my naming scheme, it's what the hospital I know uses. Can you explain the legal ramifications you are concerned about? The baby does not receive a SSN until it is named by the parents. If the parents were to die before the baby is named, the temporary name used "in the system" doesn't magically become a legal name.
Weird the title changed from "ask hn: do you" to "open-source funding/suppor questionnaire"? And didn't notice the link before but I guess it was there.
Sorry, I confused myself with all these benchmarks. I meant i7 7700K @ £340. That's the mainstream performance option at the moment that's what they have to compete against at that end of the market.

The Intel's -E line CPUs are in a world of their own.

Either which way, that's not neccessarily the point, it's that we shouldn't still be guessing how these CPUs are actually going to perform at this point.

This much hype won't end well if this isn't the second coming.

You miss the point. Adds are not to make you buy product. They primary focus is building brand and product awareness.
When you next time buy Certain Thing you will subconsciously pick product from the brand you received 6 months of adds. Just check your shopping basket next time in supermarket, most products will be branded well advertised and pretty packaged. Humans are really shallow...

Medium is failing because they are overspending and do not have really a product. Medium should have light adds and option for add-free subscription. It should share some profit with best writers to create more high quality content. Medium should have also agreements with mainstream media to republish some articles. And finally they should have enough machine learning and with twitter that they should own PR.
Nothing dangerous insofar as I'm aware, but small children tend to put the stuff in their mouths. At which point, probably think about people stepping in there with dirty shoes, cigarette ash and butts, cat/dog/bird pee and poo, etc.

I had a look at the linked report https://www.ris-muenchen.de/RII/RII/DOK/SITZUNGSVORLAGE/4277...

Apparently, the actual recommendation was to first replace the 4.163 Windows clients in use (77 % Windows 7, 9 % Windows
XP/Vista, 14 % Windows 2000 [!!!]) with a single improved configuration, likewise for the different versions of their LiMux distribution.

Afterwards, each department should choose between the Windows and Linux clients based on a cost-benefit calculation. Only in case the Windows client ends up dominating, a reevaluation of the economic viability of the duplicated infrastructure is recommended.

Additionally, the only mentioned software problems from their user survey were caused by varying browser versions (presumably Firefox), their mail program (presumably Thunderbird) not being available on mobile and frequently crashing, the same complaints about their calendar software (no idea what they are using) in addition to lacking copy-paste functionality.

Unless LibreOffice has a calendar component, I don't think anyone complained about it? At least it isn't in the report.

On the font issue: you're effectively saying "I don't like the default monospace font my browser is configured to use, please change your website to fix this" (since Nimbus Mono isn't in their CSS font family list). I feel you as a user have some responsibility in that case.
This isn't a proof, and while that may be obvious to you, it's not obvious to everyone who sees it.

There exists no logical path to the statement from the previous definition of e^x because, up to this point, e^x is a function on real numbers. e^ix is nonsense until you define e^x in complex coordinates, at which point the proof needs to rely on properties of that definition.

what you have posted misses the nature of the insight.

If two analytic functions on the complex numbers agree on uncountably infinitely many points, then they agree everywhere they are defined. This means that there is a unique analytic function that maps (ix)[x \in R] to the circle and (x)[x \in R] to the natural exponential, and they are the same complex function. Without the knowledge that analytic continuations are unique, the statement is entirely (pun intended) meaningless.
