The problem with elite social events is that they're full of the kind of people who value being at elite social events.
Shady Conservative Group Is Flooding the FCC with Anti-Net Neutrality Comments
A year or two after 9/11, I had a run-in with the FBI. I was living in an apartment, and one day at work, I got an email saying the local police were trying to contact me. I called them, and as the story went, the apartment people had come in to check my smoke alarm, and found some "suspicious items". It was never specified what the items were, but I think it was either my keg-o-rator or some of the electronics stuff I was always screwing with at the time. Or they just didn't like me as a tenant because my cats were tearing the place up. Anyway, I gave the local cop a tour of my apartment, thought everything was OK, then a couple of days later found a business card of an FBI agent on my porch, with "Call Me!" written on the back. So I called him back and arranged an apartment tour for him. (And here's how it ties into the article...) He showed up in a nondescript, white minivan, with another agent in tow, and they gave me what was, in retrospect, the most obvious good-cop, bad-cop routine you could imagine. He was a big, smiling, easy-talking buddy of a guy, and she was a harsh, suspicious hag of a battle-axe. I didn't have anything to hide, but looking back, if I did I might have totally fallen for it...
How many kilobytes are in 10000 lines of text? Less than about a megabyte, right...

There could be a happy medium mode or setting that enables scrolling as you described by emulating the keyboard behavior, but mosh would recognize through some buffer capacity if you catted more than about 1MB and skip to printing the last 0.75MB of it. (Makes me want to go on and read that patch you sent to see if I can get it to work like that...)

You probably didn't mean to read more than about 1000 lines of text into your terminal so you could mouse cursor select it by hand into your paste-buffer. You answered very informatively, thank you.

> Maybe if you live in a yoga studio.

I mean, I live in a house - and that house has either carpet, tile, or a covered in hardwood, so that's a good place for being barefoot.

Finding flexible, neutral footwear for most anytime else is not a problem. The spectrum is flip flops to the most fashionable trail runner. I'm a buddy with one the biggest proponents of minimal footwear during the whole born to run craze.

He'll still jog barefoot, but only for like, 10 minutes after his real run. He needs shoes like the rest of us, since his goal is to run fast.
> It is weirdos and neurotics that are most disposed to spending all their time posting online

This is not true. Every single human being has multiple different sides/personas depending on the context in which they engage.

For example, many people think "Trolls" are some mythical category of assholes they will never run into in real life, but the thing is, everyone can act like a troll depending on the circumstance. This is why Twitter can't fix the spam problem. Because they think the goal is to eradicate this mythical group of people. But the reality is everyone on Twitter is in one way or another annoying to someone else, without even them realizing.

I am probably much much busier person than OP in real life, but I still have time to post on HN. I am definitely not a weirdo and neurotic who has nothing better to do. I probably spend less time posting online than the OP spend time watch TV shows.

The reason I say this is because without understanding WHO exactly "trolls" are, you will always lose. When you understand trolls are just ordinary people like yourself, only then you can find a way to deal with them.

p.s.

I have acted like a neurotic person on certain forums when I was in a desperate situation, and I am perfectly aware of that. That doesn't mean I am a weirdo who has nothing better to do. Anyone in those situations would probably behave that way too. Knowing that doesn't make it any less annoying, but my point is that I can sympathize, and I know that these people are not all weirdos.

My usual solution for this is C++/Qt. Runs well on Linux, and on Windows you can statically link Qt into the single .exe if your small app is FOSS (at least LGPL-compatible), otherwise you should ship a few extra .dll files.

Compared to Tcl/tk you get (A) catch errors at compile time, and (B) Qt apps usually look better than Tk apps.

With mxe+qmake it's one command to cross-compile from Linux to a Windows binary.
I really like print magazines...I have a print subscription to the New Yorker, New York Magazine and the Sunday NYTimes. The serendipitous discovery of interesting content, the ability to just grab it on the way out the door and the paper format make for a great experience.

Oh I no doubt understood the author's intentions with using feign in that manner. However, that does not mean it was the correct term to use, despite what we may "feel" or "get" from it; nevertheless, troubling ourselves with such a minor detail is really rather ridiculous. Besides, if we go any further, conversation on this runs the risk of igniting a rather banal descriptivist/prescriptivist flame war. :)

It very much is a trend, a trend of by developers, for developers. All this is so that some primadonna developer somewhere can use the latest languages and frameworks to build his "app" without some sysadmin or other uses of available computing resources gets in his way.

Personally I don't believe it's just over the horizon. I think we'll continue to have advancements in new areas like autonomous driving that will push the envelope. Perhaps we'll one day be able to assemble everything and create Minksy's society of minds, but that path is very different from the human brain and how it works. However, it's something that is far more reasonable to create by human engineering rather than relying on (or trying to reverse engineer) the magic soup of chemicals and physics that is biology.
having fairly recently redeployed a MUD I worked on in the early 90's (telnet mud.legitimatesounding.com 4000 - https://github.com/JerrySievert/SillyMUD), I can't agree more.

I spent many hours fixing compile issues, memory problems that should have taken it down in the early 90's but didn't seem to matter at the time, and moving it to a modern socket API. I was quite surprised how much things had changed in 25 years.

> Some communities are already banding together to start their own ISPs. I'm not familiar with how they deal with the "last mile" infrastructure challenge. But if it only took a big investment up front then that begs the question why did Google Fiber fail? Lack of community support?

Google Fiber failed because Google doesn't care about fiber; they care about creating competition for ISPs to ensure continued access to its services. They realized they don't need fiber for that-5G technologies will be good enough to create competition for ISPs but can be deployed far more cheaply.

Poll: In an enterprise, are software clones okay?
These clones are due to legacy or acquisitions etc.,
For Eg: We have multiple content management systems in our enterprise.
1. Clones are perfectly fine. Gives freedom
2. Not more than two clones for the same functionality
3. Clones are strictly not recommended

Can you slow down your pace at work and do things more thoroughly even though it might create some problems for you (less than stellar review at the of the year, having to admit you're simply slow, missing some deadline but not by much; or something like that)?

If so, I think you'd be surprised by how much room you have to "wing it" and make things work at your own terms.

It might not even come to that if your understanding is improving (because you're spending more time at work digging deep into topics) and you're able to propose better solutions.
Also, you submitted it a few days ago: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14180615 (120 points, 3 days ago, 80 comments)

It's ok to resubmit when the post didn't get too much attention, but 120 points and 80 comments is more than enough. If you continue to resubmit and use sockpupets, the mods will notice and will ban all the sockpupets, your account and your site.

In many localities, they can't, because laws and regulations have been put in place giving monopoly access to one of the big ISPs.
I don't want enthusiasm either, I just don't want opinion. Given the facts, I can form my own, thank you. Journalists' job should be to provide all relevant facts and present it in a neutral way. The further any news goes from this, the lesser the quality in my eyes.

The rhetoric style and choice of facts given in the first paragraph don't seem impartial, they convey a negative view about the project. The comparison to the other media players was unnecessary, especially in this way. But despite our agreement or disagreement on this, it is not the first article that made me dislike some of the writing on Phoronix. And it seems I'm not the only one. In fact, in the past I stopped reading it because of it.

Yes, the linking on Phoronix can be worked around. The fact that it is the way it is, does not make it look good, though, at least to me.

Drawing a conclusion from this, if a person has a disability that leads them to being unable to interact until they understand the nature (rules) of the person or group around them, then they're more-or-less screwed in an interview situation.

That does explain a few things. I am REALLY good at my job, and after working a job for a couple of years I become very good because of my disability, yet the same disability means I don't know how to interact with people so I interview poorly.

I don't know how to talk to people I haven't met and just doing it for practise isn't the way to learn. I really can't spare the 10 or 15 years it would take.

Ultimately, when someone asks something that's unexpected, makes a claim that's false or incorrect, I just freeze up and can't actually respond. In daily conversation with people I know it's not a problem, but with strangers I have to stand back and wait until I have a grasp their sense of humor, how much they think of themselves, and so forth, before I can speak.
If you were a visible minority, those times were horrible. Few would debate that. But the average kid of any color today faces some very aggressive realities. Wozniak built a fake bomb as a school prank. Not a clock mistaken for a bomb, not a crypto scheme mistaken for a Japanese plot, a ticking bomb meant to terrify those who found it. And it did. Do that in 1973 and you can still go on to great things. Do that today and you'll be lucky to ever set foot in a normal school again. Good luck getting a passport after being investigated for bomb making, let alone the horror of being charged as an adult.

Well sure, but a runtime isn't going to change all that much. It's exactly the kind of thing that caches well. I mean a re-usable garbage collector sounds alright, but I don't think it will be used that much. I mean, I presume that you could implement a garbage collector as a shared library, but nobody actually does that.
It is not bad. But it took 5 years.
Presumably said "spy" would presume that the code was found, and thus useless for them to retrieve, thus making the risk of discovery outweigh any benefit of retrieval. So the "spy" almost certainly wouldn't show up, and now they've been tipped off that the code may be compromised and the FBI may have become involved exactly in the manner they did.

well, for me, when i used to like Tcl, it was

* the everything is a string, mantra
* meta-programming possibilities
* tcl wiki ( http://wiki.tcl.tk/ )

the tcl wiki is the reason i fell in love with wikis, my first wiki experience, and in my opinion when it was very active, it was home of a really nice community

I think if someone can rewrite tcl or a tcl like language, as the top level language, using a more modern low level language, like Rust or Go ... it will be a very nice combo, I think Tcl can serve as a really nice declarative language

If you look at Sqlite, it really is the perfect example of an offspring of the tcl community, a declarative solution for a complex problem , written in C ... a perfect tcl

I stopped following Tcl a long time ago, so I have no clue where it is at now ... but i hope it is still being used, for the super nice community .. it had/has

Or... Don't use Paypal.

They stopped "doing business" with me out of the blue.

I call them up and asked why and they said I need a subpoena to get the reason.

I call them back saying I have a retainer so what do I do to get the reason with my retainer on hand?

Seeing I was serious, the operator told me the reason as if he's letting me on a secret. The reason being I'm associated to somebody that owe them money.

Yeah seriously. Their reason for not doing business with me was that I know somebody that owe them money but they won't tell me who.

I asked if they can remove all my info. The dude told me it's secured because paypal use SSL. I wanted to to tell him that SSL is for connection encryption not data encryption but at this point I'm done with this bullshit ordeal.

The reality is as PayPal is one of the oldest payment companies, their vast feature coverage covers so much more use cases. It probably has the most extensive international support out of any payment processor, it can be used for programmatic payouts and handles 1099 forms or other tax forms by default.

It also means they have a lot of legacy APIs, complicated overlapping features. However one thing they should be fixing, but they aren't, is their terrible customer service. Their product should work for all their customers, and if it doesn't, they should be bearing the cost of making it work with decent customer service.
