Agreed. These people are essentially bullies acting from their ivory tower of unchallengable beliefs and morals. Their non-sense such as "he holds views that are in opposition with the values of the Drupal project." actually do more to suppress tolerance, diversity, and inclusion than encourage it. tl;dr think like me or I throw the dummy out the pram.

I wish techies would get back to focusing on tech, it seems every other tweet and hacker news post is something meta about diversity, inclusion, tolerance, racism etc..
the futuristic universal-uniform shows you speak of are usually engaging in either a form of techno-utopian communism (star trek) or military fascism (starship troopers). Shows with more individualistic clothing (Babylon 5, Battlestar Galactica, Farscape) are usually more culturally contemporary (a balance of social support and capitalism). At least, that's how it seems, I'm not sure which shows you're referencing.
Edit for folks having trouble understanding: the post you're replying to literally mentions two of the best tabbed terminals for Windows. That's not the problem.

A fast, inbuilt, 2017-era terminal is.

- ConEmu has a UI that's a shotgun blast of shit.

- Hyper still fails at basic shortcuts.

- ConEmu plus other software still has a UI that's a shotgun blast of shit.

- Some person's half maintained fork of putty is some person's half maintained fork of putty and we already have Windows openssh for SSH purposes.

- A proprietary app you need to pay for is a proprietary app you need to pay for.

- tmux is not a tabbed terminal.

- Something that uses cygwin is something using cygwin.

The post is requesting a clean tabbed terminal, included in Windows, and maintained full time by Microsoft employees (whether Open Source or proprietary).

Edit: removed 'fully featured' as someone below thinks that means I want all the bullshit the other terminals add, rather than tabs, working escape sequences, and other terminal features.
I suspect that this is a side effect of work they are doing trying to build up their capabilities with Azure. I think the long game is to try to support docker containers that are built against Linux natively on Windows. The other interpretation is still in line with the move toward containerized services: I think they want to make it easier to build a containerized app on windows and deploy it on k8s/docker swarm/etc.

Apple has been losing their darling reputation among developers, and I think MS sees an opportunity to bring a lot of people back over who might otherwise try to make a go of Linux. If they can offer a plausible story for developing and deploying applications from windows I think it would drive more business in the cloud and enterprise areas; at the same time having more developers around on the platform will continue to ensure that they have the software to keep consumers from migrating to iOS/Android/ChromeOS type devices.
Then why did you click to come to this discussion thread instead of ignoring it like you doubtlessly do for 90%+ of all topics that come up on HN?

How about this: You don't upvote stories you don't like, and every person has (only) one vote to upvote what they do like to be seen and/or discussed. Incidentally, that's exactly how it already works... If you want to be the one with veto power there also is a way: You can create your own subreddit on reddit.

I'm asking the question here, so answer for once.

I made a simple statement and example using outrage, directly related to the labeling. I have no investment or bone to pick in shoving it down anybody's throat, and I'll even freely for the sake of argument consider it my own personal anecdotal observation if your insistence of its reach is so important to you.

Yet you're down my throat trying to get me to say something expounding on it, which you're not revealing (which is starting to look quite childish, I might add).

Now, answer why this is such a hot topic for you. You're the motive force in perpetuating it, by constantly demanding explanations of me for literally hours on end, and accepting no answer no matter how much I try to offer you what you seek, and attempt to meet your hidden predicates. That's simply not productive, and certainly not conducive to you getting the answer you want, until you start revealing more.

sorry but how does that work to be for tolerance and anti discrimination in the first place ? anti discrimination means you Do NOT tolerate people who discriminate, so you cant be tolerant at the same time. I always see this kind of contradictions in principles.

Honestly seems quite sad that developers today know only one (quite awful) language and have no whatsoever interest to learn new things because they can just write an application (probably with a quality not much better than the aforementioned language) that can be used everywhere but taking a huge amount of unneeded resources.
The thing that I like the most in software development is the ability to continuously learn new techniques and new, better, ways of solving problems.
I'm really afraid to think what would have happened if VbScript would have won the race as the de facto standard for the web..
..but actually thinking about it probably it would not have been that different from today.
We would have had VisualElectron instead of Electron, but with all the same problems maybe in a slightly worse or slightly better language, depending from the point of view.
Craigslist seems overwhelming and like bad design when you first encounter it, but start using it for awhile and being able to go exactly where you need to go with one click and know exactly where on the page it will be located, without scrolling, and have your mouse ready to click it, is actually really nice.

They're sturdy containers along the center of the bike. I'm sure it feels a little different, but nothing too disconcerting. Besides, once they've reached their destination area, they're stopping every 20 meters to deliver mail to a different building.
"Malware, short for malicious software, is any software used to disrupt computer or mobile operations, gather sensitive information, gain access to private computer systems, or display unwanted advertising. Before the term malware was coined by Yisrael Radai in 1990, malicious software was referred to as computer viruses." [1] [2]

I don't think most people would consider Google's purposeful display ads, which site owners choose to put there and customers expect to see, 'Malware.' I think Adware/Advertising Malware refers to software that shows unexpected ads, such as after you leave the site, or installing software on your computer that randomly shows ads.

I'm between VS17 with Resharper and Ncrunch, VSC, and Sublime Text myself. (VS17 for all my .net stuff, which picked up about 16 months ago). Even with a 4.2ghz 6 core CPU/32/NVME, the formers are slow compared to ST. Sublime is just so instantaneous it never gets old.

Yet VSC is like a polished machine with so much weight behind, it's almost a wonder ST3 can stand up to it. That's why I'd like the 3.0 release to be official.

(Fwiw I used Textpad for over 15 years before finding ST. Compared to Eclipse etc that was another speed demon).
I actually want it to trigger on each line when hitting return. It really helps with macros you can write when text munging. I didn't spend as much time as I would have liked looking at each editor but a command-key that deletes all ending whitspace on a line would also be acceptable.
It is not just Unix.

Although I really love that part of OsX, this is not the only reason why I prefer it to windows.

Last time I tried windows 10, it took me 2 minutes before stumbling on an icon right out of Windows Vista (or at least it really looked disjointed with the rest of the OS).

Install/Uninstall an app on Osx ? Use the same metaphor than for a file and put it in Applications or Trash. Contrast this with the clutter in windows menu ..

OsX is really far from perfect and in fact I feel it regress each year but it is still better than the competition.
It's impossible to be absolutely "inclusive". Situations like this make the cognitive dissonance obvious.

1. There is no standard of what ethical behavior entails. Many thoughts are actually incompatible. In this context:

1a. Some people might think it's unethical or immoral to be violent even in a consensual sexual context. This could include certain religious people, but it could include certain kinds of pacifists and feminists as well.

1b. Some people might think it's unethical or immoral to have anything beyond a "don't ask, don't tell" policy. In this view, if you know about it and they didn't tell you personally, it's messed up.

1c. Some people might think it's unethical or immoral to be anything less than 100% supportive of any kind of sexual expression.

1d. Some people really don't care and are offended that their desire to be left out of all this isn't respected.

...there are certainly more positions and combinations of positions here.

2. There is the secondary question as to what means in the pursuit of (1) are ethical or moral.

2a. What information is public?

2b. Once something is leaked, can we use it? How do we pretend we hadn't learned something?

2c. What opinions are worth respecting? Understanding? Should we silence people with unconscionable opinions?

2d. Can we outright exclude people for having non-inclusive beliefs?

Being unfamiliar with this, from the starting few paragraphs I thought "oh man, they have a white surpremacist developer or something and now there's a scandal, huh". Then I learnt that he was ousted because of his sex life. What the fuck? What does it matter to anyone what he does with other consenting adults in private?

Diversity and inclusion have a cost of having to deal with ongoing disagreement and friction that comes from coexistence.

Diversity(tm) and Inclusion(tm) have a cost of inviting Diversity Experts to tell you why you cannot do any of this on your own and why you need to pay them for it, even though none of their materials or solutions have been peer-reviewed and the readily observable effect is that they make everyone miserable.

Not enough people are photographing every flat surface they can see to get texture details, much less publishing the results or the compositions and designs of their expensive buildings.
> For example, if a person has religious views that women should not work, should they be part of the open source community? Of course. Should they be a leader of the community and have prominent speaking roles?

Doesn't this just kick the can down the street a few feet? It seems, and I may have interpreted it incorrectly, that the leader or leaders of a community must not personally hold any controversial views at all according to this. Speaking bluntly, I think that is impossible.
Hey. It's a great point and something we will certainly look to add to the documentation. To be honest the docs were the major thing that held up the release of Kim. We made the mistake of leaving them until last so in the end we opted for quality over quantity to get them finished.

A great suggestion though, thanks!
If I understood correctly, for that model they varied the "surface temperature" of a 1-dimensional object under constant illumination by hard-coding it, rather than simulating an increase in insolation or pressure to cause warming:

"When surface temperature is below the critical point temperature (647K), the surface pressure is set as the saturation vapour pressure for that surface temperature, and the tropospheric temperature– pressure structure is taken directly from the saturation vapour pressure curve. Where the surface temperature exceeds the critical point temperature, we prescribe surface pressure as 2.6×107 Pa, corresponding to Earth’s surface water reservoir."
http://www.nature.com/ngeo/journal/v6/n8/full/ngeo1892.html

So first, they do increase the thickness of the atmosphere, and the increased surface temperature would come from a possible future sun (not adding CO2) I guess. Second, I wouldn't put much stock in such simplified models.
I have a 4 hour window of eating my main meal. I usually eat 2 meals in that one setting, one of the meals being a keto protein shake (w/MCT oil). At work, however, I will keep some almonds or pistachios to snack on. I normally don't experience headaches or hunger and my energy supply is great throughout the day.

While I can't say keto contributed to all of my weight loss, I will say it has been an extremely important factor of maintaining my weight and is my lifestyle choice. I would prefer bacon over bread any day.

> The very presence of anti-censorship in the 1st amendment is the reason many people in the US get outraged when companies censor views.

No, it's not. The value of free expression and the concept of the marketplace of ideas to which it is essential predates and goes beyond the 1st Amendment. The 1st Amendment isn't the cause, it's a product of the same cause.

Though it's a lot trickier to apply the concept to private censorship, which is both, in one sense, an exercise of the right of free speech and, potentially, a restriction on it in some cases. Government censorship is a lot more of a clear issue (even if there are issues of drawing the precise boundary.)
We had these where I grew up, all the way to the 2010s. They were slow and had limited range but that isn't a problem for milk delivery which is on suburban roads in the middle of the night.

However they were surprisingly noisy - I was a mild insomniac and always knew when 2.30AM came round because I could hear the milk float buzzing past outside.
Extending Sentry with LogRocket
They are single speed because with a load like that nobody wants to go anywhere close to the 25 km/h of legal motor assist.

I work next to a depot of those so I occasionally share a bike path with them while they are in cruise mode (moving to their delivery area, as opposed to going mailbox-to-mailbox). They go a brisk pace considering the load, but certainly not much faster than the speed required for comfortable balancing. This is no bike messenger from hell tool designed to win alleycat races (though that wouldn't exactly be the home turf of 2x11 componentry either).

Between 250W of assist for hops and acceleration and a very narrow speed band to optimize the gearing ratio for, you really don't need a multispeed transmission.
I was hoping for something more ambitious like "once you can detect the full electromagnetic spectrum hitting your phone from any angle, you won't need a lens to reconstruct a focused picture." The proposed idea is very tedious and requires a tremendous amount of up-to-date data (just the open state of a door can seriously affect the lighting conditions in a photo).
For me Microsoft has realized that their profit on cloud (where Linux is dominant) can be significantly higher then licensing Windows, so they are pushing for a better Linux experience on the user desktop and we will see in a couple of years the Microsoft Linux Server (maybe they will buy Cannonical for that ?).

Eich was CEO, though. It's a special position in any organization. The board can ask you to leave at any time if you seem to be a liability, and the mere optics of a PR issue can be enough.

That's why CEOs often have such generous compensation packages in the event of involuntary termination.

This is a truly personal matter that, in my opinion, bears no relevance to his public-facing leadership role and responsibilities. He's into BDSM, so what? If your PornHub/xHamster/whatever search history was exposed, how catastrophic would it be to your career? Would people that you respect immediately feign disgust, knowing very well that they have similar search histories? It's easy to point the finger when it's someone else taking the heat, but I guarantee that everyone who claims to be a member of the opposition would sing a different tune if it was their private life that was investigated and exposed. Pure hypocrisy.

It's GamerGate type shit all over again, chock full of faux outrage and manufactured drama. I think that sensational journalism has rubbed off on society. People are used to having their emotions exploited and being force fed specific facts sans context to steer their opinion and, at large, public consensus.

Instead of it being CNN steering the public opinion of Trump, it's a group of misdirected, misguided, uneducated, incompatible, unaccepting, pig-headed SJW-type individuals steering the dialogue regarding Drupal.
It may be useful for historical reconstruction, but this process will never be able to account for the possibilities covered by a real camera. For example, I use cameras to take pictures at sporting events. Google isn't going to be able to predict exactly how the baseball players swing the bats. At best, they will produce a probably image which likely will deviate from reality. Ultimately, I see this tool as useful for historians but no good reason for us normal people to use it on a day to day basis.
I'd just like to say thank-you for writing about what happened to you. I am going to be much more careful about my contacts from now on. I also use dailies, never for > 24hrs. But I didn't dry my hands and used them in the shower occasionally. Not any more.

Without getting into controversial labels, it's not clear to me who did what to whom and what the people are petitioning for.

I seemed to me that (all allegedly) someone was outed as into BDSM and was somehow treated unfairly. I think that certainly falls into the domain of liberal sexual identity politics.

Lies About Logs
I couldn't agree more with you when it comes to the authority and his execution. I've just seen a lot of people railing against the system of overbooking and the general shitiness of modern air travel. I spent most of my childhood flying as a non-rev thanks to my dad, so I got very used to flying when there was empty seats, and on occasion I was asked to get out of the plane after already seated because a higher priority showed up late. It was always a heart breaker, but that's the life of a non-rev. So I guess I have a different perspective, and think people should appreciate cheap air travel. Again, all of that having been said, people should voice their opinions and hopefully this will change how these incidents are handled.
Ask HN: How was this ad targeted to me?
Apropos of the current discussion about dropping Google advertising [1], I'd appreciate HN's thoughts on how a very particular product was targeted at me yesterday: a semi-obscure muscial instrument (which I won't name, my paranoia is already piqued).

Yesterday morning at home I Googled the instrument, the name of which I didn't actually know but Google came to the rescue. I browsed Google Shopping [2] but didn't purchase one.

Later I went into work where Facebook displayed an ad for the instrument in its "sponsored" section and an inline "suggested post" for a manufacturer.

My home and work computers and networks are completely different. I typically use incognito mode and "do not track" in Firefox or Chrome. I sign out of all social media and Gmail. Yesterday I was working in a large building with tens of people all using wifi used by hundreds of people across several buildings.

I assume no outright nefarious activity, such as an illicit pipe of potential customer IDs between Fb and Google.

The best I can theorise is that I had an open Fb window at home, and one of the instrument manufacturers' websites had an embedded Facebook like button or similar tracker, and they are running targeted ads on Fb. But is this direct-to-an-individual targetting even possible on Fb? Perhaps the obscurity of the instrument meant that I was very likely to see an ad, and very likely to notice it.

I typically close Fb when I'm not using it, so this doesn't immediately feel like what happened. I'll be doubly-sure to close and log-out Fb now.

I can't think of other ways that my Google activity could get to Fb. Browser fingerprinting, cellphone location etc would allow Fb to understand my location, but I can't see how they'd match this against Google activity.

I'd be very interested to read how this is, or could be, achieved.

Hey Amelius,

thanks for the message. Gonna be honest, I'm not sure what you mean by cycles. Can you elaborate a bit?
What's your skill set?

Are you getting no offers, or just no offers that pay well enough?

I have trouble believing that noone would want to hire you if you're good and can show that you've built nontrivial stuff.
The key is "tolerance" and "inclusion". Those are, of course, superior to intolerance and exclusion.

To have tolerance, you cannot tolerate intolerance. It is maybe illogical, but necessary.
