Old, badly written, programs requiring admin was a problem the first year after Vista was released. Today, not anymore.

All programs of interest have migrated and there is also a compatibility layer redirecting older programs to write to a fake system directory.
The discussion is about selinux, and not gender.
The slam-dunk would be if a factory-new processor's purchaser has the option to have the built in TrustZone ARM management chip able to trust keys provided by the owner (blow a fuse or something?), so unlike Intel IME, someone who wants to avoid their computer's Ring -3 being owned by organized crime can take steps more reasonable than http://hardenedlinux.org/firmware/2016/11/17/neutralize_ME_f...
The 105 is also 2G only and won't work in the US, Canada or Australia.
It's easy to forget that most of the Velvet Underground stuff was done in the 60's. So radically different
from what was going on at the time. And so influential on what came after.

From the article - I'd love to see this stuff:

Surprises seem to come out of nowhere. A Sony Walkman lightly coated with rust turns out to be a special
edition, presented to Reed by the company, with a custom silver case made by Tiffany. A reissue copy of the
Byrds' 1966 raga-jazz single "Eight Miles High" has a handwritten note inside the picture sleeve: "Thought you
might enjoy a little more Coltrane." It is signed "Jimmy Page" – an early Reed fan who, as a Yardbird in 1968,
was covered the Velvets' "I'm Waiting for the Man" on stage.
Ah, it's that GPL + nag/guilt-trip model again...

Following that rationale, why doesn't any sane person cite Matlab, R, Tex or MS Word on their publications?
You skipped over the most ambiguous part of what he said...

>Then they were vicious, they were horrible, but they put it down with strength.
Not that I disagree there is no change in fundemantals in China's government and democratic system, but "For decades now we've been hearing that China will change and become more democratic as its economy grows." This is definitely true and happening.
Those are pretty handy features, but they are not nearly enough. I know plenty of people who spend several hours a day entering, validating and fixing data in giant Excel spreadsheets because they need to work with multiple systems that don't have real integration points. That work is mind-numbingly boring and completely avoidable. (Besides, system integration is also rote work, only one level up. I know plenty of engineers whose only job is to constantly write adapters between various web services.)
The complexity of many Haskell collection APIs is actually documented unlike with many other languages. These complexities are not changed by the runtime. Only constant factors and memory use are affected by optimisations and this is no different to any other high-level language that actually optimises code.
Too many books. I think with 'Node.js Design Patterns' and the 'You Don't Know JS' series is more than enough.
We often start with the null hypothesis of artistic "exceptionalism, which imagines him [or her] as a freak of isolated genius", i.e., we assume that the credited creator worked alone.

I think that's wrong and few serious human endeavors are accomplished alone. In the arts, look at stories about how works were really created. Pop music is an easy example because it's well known: Songs are written with a suggestion from a friend, input from the producer, are based on something the performer heard on the train, are created when someone uncredited sits in on the session and provides the key hook, etc. A friend is writing a book, and I spent hours reading it and offering suggestions; I'll receive no credit (and I don't want or deserve it). In the code people write, how much is done without any help from others, without using existing code and ideas? As the saying goes, good artists borrow; great artists steal.
I’ve always heard that uni is a bit of a formality in Japan, and that most career-minded individuals expect to be trained and mentored on the job when they enter the corporate world.

Not sure how true that is or if the article touches on that, since it’s paywalled.

I dont think it is that much space. Plus last time I checked, not so much space in the desert was used by agriculture.

And given what happened allready, I don't see what is irrational fear about it, when there is a safe alternative.
wealth and value is created, not distributed. I'm sick and tired of hearing from communists about taking money away from hard working people and giving to those less deserving.
the BBC article lists the facts, which the Guardian chose to omit:

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-39099574

- given indefinite leave in 1992 to remain in the UK after her marriage - but this lapsed because she lived outside the UK for more than two years

- came back to the UK several times for short visits. She lived in the UK in 2003 until January 2005 and says that during this time she made numerous applications for leave to remain, which were all rejected [overstay]

- Mrs Clennell eventually entered the UK in 2013 and made two applications for leave to remain - both were rejected, as was her final application in 2016 [overstay]

- "... speaking to the BBC's Fiona Walker from the Scottish detention centre, she said: "I knew that when I got indefinite leave to remain I can't stay outside of the country for more than two years.
"But then my husband was with me, he came to live with me for five years in Singapore."

this is a textbook case of someone playing the system, including overstaying on a tourist visa several times
learning FRP (in my case forcing myself to rewrite an app I had made using bacon.js) dramatically leveled up my programming and the way i think about programming.

i can't possibly overstate the paradigm shift in my thinking afterwards. (not clear if that just speaks to the degree that i was misguided)

a more recent development was forcing myself to rebuild my shopify store using webpack/ES6
3 books I read a couple of decades ago, they were talking about technology of a decade before that and felt outdated but were really helpful in raising my powers as a developer:
1. About face
2. Writing solid code
3. Code complete
I still recommend them to young developers and bought a paper copy of them for myself. The ones I read were left at the company I worked at at the time.
I had an expenses account and most of my expenses there were on books.
Yeah, when I think of Berlin apartments, I think of cramped-and-lovingly-dilapidated altbau rooms, resigned attempts to enliven a ubiquitous WWII reconstruction, and probably a balcony :) Damn, I can't wait to move back in a couple months!!!
Everything with a mobile CPU inside has a switching power supply that could be adjusted to use 1, 2, 7, or 40V just as easily.

Really small devices do not have space for those, so ear buds may not be able to use this battery. But your phone, or watch, certainly can.

I am exactly the opposite. I use a debit card, but I've never used a credit card. Why would I want to borrow money (and risk owing interest), if I already have money readily accessible via my debit card?
Completely agree. JavaScript is often on of the easiest parts of building front-end applications.
I don't know anything about the report, but one would hope that these metrics are published and have some verifiability. One could create empirical metrics based on research output, monetization, patents, keynote speeches, citation counts, etc. It doesn't have to be so fuzzy.

My point is not to be knee-jerk about the nationality source, but rather look at the claims and evaluate them. If they previously ranked Tokyo University so highly -- should we throw that out too?
I worked in Edinburgh and visited the Turing Institute a few times - I did meet Arthur a few times though I think we mainly spoke to some other chap (Danny?).

When Arthur moved to work for Sun I remember begging a copy of Java from him early in '95.
Fake news and alternative facts have not led the US anywhere. Donald Trump had no endorsements from any nationally-available newspaper. Newspapers across the US were full of unflattering reports about both candidates, and ultimately Clinton's unfavourability in the swing states meant a lot of people stayed home.

Now the press is as vital as ever – Trump's favourability ratings are at historic lows, and there are countless stories about the disarray in the White House. That's good (from my perspective). None of that would be possible in China, as there's no press to hold leaders to account.
> Specifically things like xorg libs, libmpeg, libsdl, and such. Not that Rust would have a problem interfacing with them, just that they would need to be present regardless of whether or not someone was just trying to run a distributed binary.

That's why stuff like that is AFAIK usually either distributed with the binary or is absolutely required to have present on the system, regardless of the PL, if you want to/can only distribute a "naked" binary.

> Agreed that you wouldn't need a VM like CPython or the JVM. However, Rust isn't unique in that department. Almost all languages that compile to binary executables have this advantage.

Didn't mean to suggest this is unique to Rust, which is why I wrote

> because Rust is a compiled language.

Surprise surprise, managers behave badly and it doesn't matter what their background is.

Usually engineers have to go through rigorous interviews; maybe it's time that was stepped up for managers with better behavioural questions.
Yeah in retrospect I'm not so sure I want to bet that influencers are any better. I just want to point out some of the issues where I think Oprah did a disservice to her viewers rather than educating them.

Not just pieces of things, the full things!

Don't get trapped in over-specialization, always be able to make things completely.

Whatever notion of "full-stack" you have right now, you have no idea how big the stack really is until you try to own it and make things on your own.

Also, and this is a big one, to be a truly great developer, you need to transcend "developer" and understand and master the context in which "developer" exists. Let's call that "growing your stack". You will be a much more insightful developer when you see all the moving parts, of which development is just one.
I don't know how it compares with the suggestions in the sibling posts, but Tizen?
That's about right for solids overall. You'll easily find things 5 to 8 times heavier than water.
Exactly, the first thing I searched for was scala, to see how the paper's ideas relate to scala's approach. I was surprised to see no obvious references. One would think it would be high on the list of existing material for anyone researching this area.
I dunno, I've heard Al Biles and his GenJam[1] autonomous accompaniment play, and it's actually pretty good. On par with most small time performers, at least. (Though maybe the synth could use some higher quality samples.) Also probably not technically AI, I imagine, but since a NN is just a generic function approximator, its conceivable a musician AI could imitate this improvisation.

Thanks for pointing that out, it's a useful feature, but that doesn't get around the paywall here.

True, but the point is that there weren't any really cheap LispMs until it was too late to matter.

Besides which, a system that was so much designed for programmers was probably never going to command a very big market.
Tell HN: WarGames (1983) is mind-blowing
I can't believe I hadn't watched this movie till now. It just blew my mind. Being a hacker, tinkering, solving problems was the dream I ever imagined doing. This just rekindled my dying spirit of hacking. Just wanted to share my exhilaration.
There is in fact 2 BuzzFeeds. The clickbait stuff is under the banner of BuzzFeed. The news articles are under the banner of BuzzFeed News. And the former pays for the latter, so I find it hard to fault them for it.
I can't wait for contactless payments at most gas stations. Seems like the perfect spot for it, you're already going to get your phone out to kill the pumping time anyway.
No, but I think an argument can be made that if both parties agree to the transaction, then it is their right to carry it out.

Interesting that Razer is targeting Linux before macOS. I bought a Logitech mechanical keyboard (G810) and mouse (G502) primarily because they are the only manufacturer that offers first-class drivers for their products on macOS.

EDIT: misread HN headline; article mostly about Linux support on their laptops so comment is somewhat moot.
The people in that photo seem way too comfortable with the amount of smoke pervading the building. Since there doesn't seem to be a fire alarm going off, are we left to believe that they just fishbowl the whole office in order to mellow people out so they don't mind that office layout...?
Not OP, but I'm genuinely interested in how this experience is. What do you think of it compared to using, say, iTerm2 on OSX? I've been thinking of switching back to a Windows PC since I haven't been very impressed by OSX in the last couple of years.
I Googled the open shortcut prior to writing the post; I'll admit I didn't Google them all.

It seems that move is possible, it's ⌘+C, ⌥+⌘+V, but that really doesn't feel intuitive (though you might argue I'm too used to Win/Linux keyboard commands). Finder's own context menu only denotes ⌘+X, unless you hold ⌥, which I just learned after wondering how the search box was able to find this item in the menu that I'd never seen.

Found some other ones. I didn't think moving or opening a file was an "advanced" feature. Opening in particular seems like such a prominent, common operation that it should have a more prominent place on the keyboard than ⌘+O

> RTFM

Is there a manual? The Help's search was a bit useful in pointing out some menu items I'd missed, but the menu really just has "Mac Help", which appears to be about the entire OS, not Finder.
I have a 14" Razer laptop from 2016. I am currently running Windows on it, and FWIW I have never been more pleased with a laptop.

I wonder if they will add compatibility for the Razer Core on the Linux side of things.
Marko, EBay’s Cutting-Edge UI Tool, Is Open Source and Newly Updated
Tell me about it! I was cycle-touring in the USA many decades ago and maps back then were Rand McNally, not Google... So it was always a matter of guessing where the hills were. So, I get to Colorado, cycling down through Four Corners with the 'Mittens' etc, hope to get to the camp sites in Grand Canyon. So I follow the 'Little Colorado'. My geography skills told me that the road going next to the river would be going downhill, but I wasn't thinking properly!!!

So I follow the Little Colorado expecting an easy drift into camp but instead I have a gale force headwind and serious bits of uphill. So I didn't get there and I had to sleep in the tent held up by rocks with no let up in the wind, with an electrical storm to follow, one where I was the highest metal object around...

Next morning I woke up rough and set off on my bike, literally 1/2 mile away up the road were a group of cycle tourists from Yugoslavia and they pitched up in one of the roadside stalls. Had I not given in so easily the previous night I would have had a fun time meeting up with them and drinking properly... I was also oblivious to the time zone change so the next day came with a 'free' hour too.

I did go down to the very bottom of the Canyon and up the other side to continue my cycle tour of the wonderful U.S.A. These crazy dams (every river is dammed) were a huge part of my time there, riding across them and camping by them.

Seems to me that your manager is more an asshole and/or idiot then sexist.

Empathy. The ability to understand and share the happiness and frustrations of your users and fellow co-workers helped me break barriers as an engineer. It helps me become more open minded to suggestions and at the end of the day, I am confident that what I'm building makes somebody's life better. Also, empathy towards your coworkers who will eventually be working with your code will continuously inspire you to write good and manageable code.

If you believe that you are building something you are proud of and writing code in a way that your co-worker appreciates, then you are a great developer. If anyone tells you otherwise, have an open ear and ask them why.

I teach people how to code on the weekends and I can confidently say that the ones who are more considerate and understanding tend to pick things up a lot quicker.
A 'Secret Apartment' Was Just Found in a Berlin Subway Tunnel (2016)
If I buy this, do I get the source code in a modifiable and non-obfuscated form, even if not under the terms of an OSS license (i.e. no redistribution)? I mean, it's a programmer's tool so not having sources would be a big downside.
Generally true to my knowledge, but I believe University of Tokyo and a few other top universities are an exception, especially in the sciences.

Well yes, but surely that's something that cash does even better, isn't it? I take a fixed amount of cash out once a week and that's everything I'm going to spend that week. Not only can you not spend money you don't have, you can't accidentally spend more money than you were planning to spend. (I carry a few extra weeks' buffer for emergencies, but could put that in a separate pocket or something if it ever became a temptation; so far it hasn't.)

My tinfoil-hatted side does wonder whether this is half the motivation of these new "convenient" debit mechanisms - like those fake "points" currencies used by various stores and in-app purchase schemes, I'm sure people spend more money when it doesn't feel like spending money.

Agree re credit cards, but I never carry a balance, they're just a payment mechanism.
For readers confused as I was, the Facebook post only says they're "looking at" better Linux support. The author buries in a comment a target for flawless Linux support[1].

But I'd expect if flawless Linux support was actually their goal they'd announce it more prominently, which they did not.

Amazon has some notoriously harsh environments, but my understanding is they're harsh due to (perhaps unreasonable) work rigor, rather than issues with sexual harassment by management, yes?
HN has a complicated relationship with submissions related to politics. There's been plenty of discussion related to what's appropriate and what's not. Also key to remember is what's on-topic: "anything that gratifies one's intellectual curiosity." Please note I'm not here taking a position on this particular submission.

Here's a link to some comments by mods on the topic:

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13527940

When you've been on HN after a while you'll get a feel for what's appropriate and what's not, and when you've accumulated enough karma, you'll be able to flag submissions you think are inappropriate.
- Very good rewards deals (cash back, points, free checked luggage, etc)

- Free perks like rental car insurance and extended warranties

- You never have to worry about your bank account being cleared out

If you pay your bill this all comes for free. It's a pretty amazing deal actually.

Perhaps I'm missing something, but I don't see anything that the manager is doing wrong. We can debate whether the manager is effective at her job, but it seems clear to me this is not an example of sexism.

The only citation I can find relevant to the claim of sexism is that she was asked not to wear a tank-top to work. It may very well be that a tank-top is inappropriate attire at Uber's workplace. At IBM and many other companies, it certainly would be inappropriate, and it doesn't sound out of place at all for a manager to ask an employee to wear more professional clothing.

The employee writing this is openly hostile to HR about her manager and for reasons I can't understand. "All of the insolence and harassment I face has damaged my views of Uber and made it really difficult to continue working here." Because she was asked to work at her desk and not wear a tank-top?

It's a source of constant amazement to me that people who will drill incessantly on red-black trees won't put in a modicum of effort to learn even a little bit about the inherently more complicated business of managing people.
1. They have really good reporting options. You can see how much you're spending day-by-day and how much your estimated monthly total will be. You can break it down by service, or even by account with consolidated billing.

2. They have built-in billing alerts. You can get notified if your spend in any particular category is greater than some threshold.

3. We use a 3rd party service (Cloudability) to help with cost tracking and RI allocations. There are several other companies that do the same, and depending on your total AWS bill they have more or less automation available to you.
