>Sometimes it really is justified.

Like in the situations in the article. That's why the comment in question is not just blunt. It's a bad comment.

A good comment would take a specific instance of using logging and said why setting a breakpoint / using a debugger would have solved that particular mystery faster.
This certainly won't cause any confusion going forward.
What do you mean by "bodge git repo status"? One thing I noticed is that, git gets confused if you clone under Linux and then try to access it via win-sshfs from Windows. The other way it works fine, i.e. clone from Windows, then other actions work fine on both sides.
I'm seeing this with blog posts, too. Where a serious topic is discussed, but it's illustrated with appropriately-captioned meme images. I wonder if they do it to please today's meme-craving reader, or just to avoid overly long sections of text without any breaks (what Germans lovingly call "Bleiwüste", i.e. "lead desert").

I wonder, does buying users actually work? Doesn't this backfire more often than not?

I've been a happy Wunderlist Pro customer, but there is no way I'll be switching to this new To-Do application just because Microsoft decided to replace one with the other.

It's kind of funny and sad at the same time from my perspective. Microsoft actually paid someone so in turn they could make me angry and as a result lose me as a paying customer.
Because you're exerting yourself while biking, there's a need for breathability. You will easily out sweat any Gore-Tex/Polartec/Schoeller wunderfabrik if riding for more than 10 minutes. In addition, there's a need for mobility since your legs are always moving.

The raincape/poncho, however dorky people may view it, is actually one of the more effective wet weather items provided it's not too windy.

Some operating systems (macOS, most linux) do install vim by default. The problem is that vim has a very high learning curve, and most people don't want to spend time learning to edit text. Microsoft has tried doing what you described, by installing ie/edge by default, and making it good enough for most people. Admittedly it's working to some degree, but there are still plenty of people who choose firefox/chrome over edge.
I don't see how forcing addicts to purchase heroin on the street is safer than getting it prescribed by a doctor. People wouldn't overdose if they knew exactly how strong the drugs they injected were, they OD when the drug is unexpectedly powerful, especially when laced with fentanyl.

I don't think you should be able to purchase heroin at 7/11, but certainly there is something better than total prohibition. If you want to keep killing people, force addicts to buy opiates on the street.
Sharpen the Spears?
And as many other cool vim features, you can even extend that usage by combining it with other features. For instance, you can read the output of a command into the current buffer by ":r !command".
This has been said many times in many places before, but the decision not to design IPv6 such that it is backwards-compatible with IPv4 is one of the worst technical decisions ever made, at least when it comes to organically adopting a new standard.

The second worst decision would be not auctioning off their 16 million IPv4 addresses, right now, probably at peak value of around $250 million.

I've been trying to find a "door" game I played that was themed around a nuclear wasteland. There was an ansi-graphical map with tiles you moved between.

IIRC you potentially would run into various wild/mutant animals or other players that you could battle. I don't remember much else about it but I remember enjoying it profusely and have been unsuccessful in finding even the name of it now.

Yes. AWS actually does scan on a regular basis. They have caught some before any harms done. I don't know how often though.
From Google's post about the "too many ads above the fold" update:

"As we’ve mentioned previously, we’ve heard complaints from users that if...it’s difficult to find the actual content, they aren’t happy with the experience. Rather than scrolling down the page past a slew of ads, users want to see content right away"[1]

So, they recognize pages that are heavy with ads at the top, which push down the actual content, aren't a good user experience. That's exactly what I get when I search Google...a bunch of ads or other self-serving stuff on top, that pushes down the content (actual organic results) that I'm looking for.

There are about 1.5 million engineering graduates in India per year.

Assuming this research can be trusted, 5% of them means 75 000 new "good engineers" per year.

That is still a big number.
Chrome doesn't even allow you to control if a single click in the URL bar highlights the entire URL or just drops a cursor even though the behavior in the same application is inconsistent between different platforms. I have my doubts they'd allow you to fiddle with knobs about advertising preferences.
I used to be very pro-legalization of all drugs in my early 20s but I've shifted completely after seeing so many Fetanyl overdose cases in Vancouver as well as now we are seeing Elephant tranquilizers make its way. Some drugs are just too damn harmful to even be consumed by it's end users.

The thing about opiod is that it completely warps the human mind. Outside of managing extreme pain, it really should be banned.

For those who are addicted, they should not be viewed from a legal platform but medical care that actively tries to rehabilitate them.

Agreed. I can't believe some people still view drug use as criminal behavior. These are people who otherwise are out of coping resources and variety of other factor. It should be handled with medical assistance, not locking them up and creating life long criminals/addicts in the process.

I think Portugal is a great demonstration of what I've illustrated - helping addicts while going after the supply and providing a publicly accessible harm reduction platform and alternative to hard drugs.

Vancouver has safe injection sites but it's hard to go after the dealers as they are highly decentralized and blends right in or often protected by layers of addicts who sell to support their own high.
Nope, but I also like it!

I've had that all-day battery for years on various Thinkpad X1 Carbon's that I've owned. Linux doesn't do as well as advertised but I can still go 6-8 hours of active use (it will last all day and all night if the screen is off (like when I forget to close it before I go to bed).
Sidewalks can be dangerous too. Go slow and watch out for pedestrians, doors opening, driveways and crosswalks. I prefer to stick to the road when possible.

Machine learning-powered online training
How many developers selected hardware, configured hardware, burnt it in, racked and cabled it, entered it into a company insurance roster, made and maintained the interfaces and documented it?

This _was_ SA 101 and is the part you ignore. Hell even in 2007 if you didn't know hardware you were unemployable as an SA. What do devs writing json-rpc interfaces to monolith 1212 running oracle X as backend care about infra?

This is the sea change and not everybody agrees with it.
You have a 'cloudy' perspective.
> If done involuntarily, both are effectively theft.

You sign a contract when you buy a ticket. You willingly agree to the terms. Can you make a contract that someone can steal from you? No.

> When denying boarding or removing a passenger who has done nothing wrong, the airline should be required to secure their consent. Then the question of "drag people off planes" would never even come up. That, and the subsequent court case, can be reserved for people who actually do something wrong.

In a civil society, we resolve disputes with civility in the courts or through arbitration. Not kicking and screaming. Simple. If this goes through the courts, then we will have some new precedent, that could be made law. The kicking and screaming don't help no one.
Sigh, it's HTTP by default. I get that HTTPS is more setup and it's nice to have something that works out of the box with minimal configuration, but the idea of command execution over an insecure channel makes my eye twitch.
So "this COULD BE huge" is accurate
Human nature is, well, nature. But you can take advantage of it as well.

Ever noticed the nice Gaussian distribution of people at a beach? There's a huge number of people close to the path from the parking lot, but the number of people drops off steeply with each step you take away from the entrance.

You'll find this elsewhere: I personally avoid national and CA state parks because they are crowded and pretty much ban dogs (a rule I support even though it keeps me out of them too). Wilderness areas, which are much less developed, or not developed at all, require a little bit of walking so are usually empty, and again, the farther you go from the parking lot the exponentially lower probability you have of encountering another person (or litter etc).

This is true of hunting season too (in CA): you see hunters in their cars parked by the side of the road, but hike in even a mile and you can't even hear a bang. (On the other hand in Minnesota I saw people out with their sled dogs all over the place).

PS: on the dog thing: a poorly trained dog can really upset the wildlife, and even a well trained dog that sticks next to you will affect the fauna. I always camp with a dog, but I am aware of how it affects my ability to Leave No Trace.
Wasn't the given reason for one of the crashes (where the car went under a trailer) that the vision system thought the trailer was a street sign way above the road? That kind of thing is why you want Lidar.
Maybe. The defensiveness could likely be that in many rebrands things tend to get lost in the scuffle (e.g. documentation not fully up to date; difficult to find references to some subproject's new name; checkbox for feature still listed on the enterprise version's landing page; assumption that it was made closed-source). The devs just want to get ahead of that as much as possible.

In the case of the celebrity net worth site, though, it seems pretty clear that he'd have a very thin case when it came to copyright. Just because it took them a lot of effort to come up with the numbers doesn't make the end result copyrightable - it is an estimation of a fact, and there is no copyright possibility there. Even if they took the whole thing, there is nothing non-obvious about a list of celebs and their estimated net worth. To me, that seems to have been the biggest problem in their particular business: they invested a lot of money into building something that it would be very hard to protect someone from just taking it once it is done.
I enjoy Lynch's Dune. There are some great fan edits, the 'Third stage navigator' edits that add in a fair amount of the cut scenes. The longer cut is a great improvement.

Bad title. That's not what's happening. Moby is the name of the open source project.
I'm really a little disappointed how much this article is about using plugins and additional tools instead of learning to integrate both tools by oneself. At least vim is not a tool that gets better by plugins.
US bikes aren't allowed on interstates, but they are allowed on major roads which do have nice shoulders

Unfortunately, even with wide shoulders and good visibility, "accidents" still happen thanks to unalert/hostile drivers (check out the recent terrible death of Mike Hall in Aussieland)

Rail trails are pretty cool to be honest, and there is a good and much needed network here. Of course, it will never be as extensive or well maintained as auto roads are here in the US for political reasons
I actually think the movie works best as a companion to the book. It's probably quite confusing if you're not familiar with the story and universe already.

Empirical science and the transcendentals
Why does "we go through the courts" not also apply to removing passengers? Based on what you're advocating, it seems like the airlines should let him stay and then sue him, rather than having him forcibly removed.

I think I understand the principles you're espousing, but you seem to be applying them only to one side.
The difference is that waste heat from the engine appears outside of the clothes of our noise-propelled friends, whereas we cyclists have to carefully balance between isolation and cooling. If the route is hilly, you would actually want (but don't have) completely different sets of clothing for going up vs going down, on the same ride in the same weather conditions.
What MS is explaining in the article is that they've merely started using the same data structure as all the other engines.
It was probably a huge amount of work, but that's more like not dragging the web backwards than pushing it forward.
You really shouldn't, mostly because cars that are pulling out of garages/lots/driveways don't expect you to be there, so they'll pull forward to get a view of where you should be - the street.

That said, the missing component in this discussion is that there are some cities - like Tampa - that are so horrible for biking and walking that the risk of riding on the sidewalk is lower, and there aren't any pedestrians anyway.
Moby is the fedora like oss project and docker is the RHEL like commercial product. Purely a clever rebranding job.

I recently visited my gran, who told me she has prescriptions for Co-codamol and Tramadol.

She had no idea how addictive they were and was popping them down like candy. The doctor had given her no warning as to how addictive they are. I told her to speak to her GP and that she should consider disposing the tablets at her local pharmacy.

A recent study showed that on average it takes 10 days for a patient to become dependent and addicted to opiates like these and weaning people off them is a horrible experience for the patient.
This is always my take away. Quoting from an above post

These rapid prototype arguments don't hold either imo. I can knock out quick and dirty java / c# apps plenty quick enough that work fine for their needs.

Google US gives https://www.splendidtable.org/story/eye-of-round-is-one-of-t...

Possibly this is because in the UK (and presumably wherever you are) we don't call that cut "eye of round" (it seems to be from roughly the same part of the cow as our silverside), so we're googling to find out what it is, whilst in the US people are googling to find out how to cook it.
Absolutely yes there is. Even the single point laser rangefinders like what are linked in the top comment here now are useful for consumer drones.

The hack people used to do (maybe still do?) was to combine a laser pointer and a webcam, and infer the distance based on where in the Y axis the laser appeared in the image that the webcam received.

This, which is many points in many directions, is much, much better, and it sounds like it will be cheap (at least much cheaper than these devices have been).

It's 2017, you can't say you didn't known lawn darts were dangerous and you really shouldn't admit you didn't know your store was even selling lawn darts.
Yup, such things are some of why, when I did work in anomaly detection, I wanted it to be multi-dimensional.

What you observed is the same song, second verse of: There was a cluster doing transaction processing. One of the computers in the cluster got a little sick and was throwing all its incoming transactions into the bit bucket. The load leveling for the cluster sent the next transaction to the least busy computer in the cluster, and the sick computer, not doing any real work, was usually the least busy so got nearly all the incoming transactions. So, really the one sick computer was throwing away nearly all the incoming transactions of the whole cluster, made the whole cluster look sick.

So, sure, some anomaly detection that takes as its input data, say, the CPU busy of each of the computers in the cluster should see that the one sick computer was comparatively low on CPU busy, call that an anomaly, raise an alarm, and let diagnosis begin.

Sure, if do have such an anomaly detector, very much want good control over false alarm rate.

So, can see what I posted five days ago (gee, suddenly anomaly detection is getting popular on HN?) in

Crimean War was not limited at all. It was waged in way larger area than just Crimea, and here I mean not only the Black Sea surroundings. It also had a Baltic Sea, a White Sea and even a Pacific theater of war, with close to two million people involved directly. Although not as big as the entire chain of Napoleonic Wars before, it was major and extensive nevertheless.
So essentially the difference between Chromium and Chrome?
I'm not American, so I guess it's a bit out of place for me to comment . That said, my reading of this incident is naked corporatism.

Laws, industry regulations, corporate policies and police enforcement are jumbled together, collaborating in a corporatist manner.

(A) The airline has policies and business practices such as overbooking & "must fly." These save money, get staff to their required destinations, whatever.

(B) Police enforcement is a required for these business practices to actually be practiced.

The only reason they can practically have this involuntary removal by lottery policy is police are willing to enforce it. If police of any city/airport refused to execute these corporate polices, the policies would have to change.

That's ultimately who outrage should be directed at, the police. Why did they come in the first place? Had a crime been committed? Passenger safety endangered? Police were summoned by a "private" company. They were informed that corporate policy required them to drag a passenger of the plane. They said OK, I guess that's our job.

I'm not as concerned about United or anyone else having nasty policies. Many companies do. I care more about police enforcing those policies. There is no consumer protection against police action.
