Firefox. It's a good browser; developer-friendly, free software, extensible (ad-blockers and privacy tools are a must), modern, and fast.

It is also the only browser with significant market share that exists primarily to serve its users, not its vendor. As someone who feels strongly about preserving the open nature of the internet, I find it important that a strong independent browser balances out the corporate browsers (most notably Chrome/Chromium, Safari, and Edge).

Disclaimer: I am financially tied to NLib's current distributor.

NLib has a lot of sophisticated NURBS math tools. It was literally written by one of the men who wrote The NURBS Book.

As far as I know, it doesn't do anything much for trimmed NURBS surfaces, in the sense of a surface trimmed by an arbitrary series of curves. (Might be a tessellation routine for that case?) Basically it is mostly geometry, with only very limited topology support.

There are lots of products which provide geometry & topology support: SMLib, SOLIDS++, Acis, and Parasolid come to mind. The first two are built on NLib. I don't think any of them have as sophisticated NURBS geometry tools as NLib does. (Except to the extent that you can call NLib routines directly with the first two.)

I'm not aware of any commercial product which directly competes with NLib at all. Which doesn't mean one doesn't exist! I'd be interested if anyone has experience with other libraries.

This sounds like a cryptographic way to achieve the aliasing scheme many people already use, e.g "chatmasta+hackernews@gmail.com".

Your proposal requires at least the status quo (aliased email address at signup), but the problem is it also requires cooperation of the receiver's email provider (e.g. gmail) and the sender's email provider. You are unlikely to ever see any new standard adopted by all major email providers, unless it came through a standards committee.

But your idea is interesting. Perhaps you could lower the cost of adoption by replacing the dependency on TLS/SSL with some sort of pgp signing scheme. This way all the "protocol" happens within the message body, so email providers do not need to adopt a new standard. As long as at least one website and one user implement the protocol, it can work without any cooperation from third parties.

As an aside, it would also be nice if password managers included functionality around generating temporary/isolated email addresses.
Going to have to say it... I really cannot stand this pseudo intellectual writing style. The article is written like you just discovered a Thesaurus. Good writing is clear, concise, and simple. This section:

>Even if we completely ignore the “human” element at play in the development cycle, the notion that we could come up with accurate software development time estimations is the quintessential unrealistic expectation — a fool’s errand. Its intractability comes not from incompetency or from a lack of discipline, but from a deep-seated, fundamental limitation imposed on our reality and codified in the proof of the Church-Turing thesis

Is just painful..

They are public by default. There was a really entertaining transcript where the judge argued vehemently against attempts by the lawyers to restrict public access (which is possible to protect privacy or trade secrets, for example).

That said, when I last tried to find transcript, I couldn't find a comprehensive archive. They are available from PACER and from the court, but they charge transcription fees in the 3-digit range. But individual transcripts are published by media organisations, presumably after they pay for them.
I have. My great aunt was killed as a pedestrian crossing a busy road in an strip mall area. She was not crossing illegally. No charges to the driver. The driver felt horrible about it. No one in my family really blamed the driver. The mindset seems to be she shouldn't have been crossing that busy road to get to the grocery store. She was an old woman who wasn't being careful. This is a classic example of how American culture has changed. For me, it is not the fault of the pedestrian, or the driver, but rather our society for allowing retail areas to be unsafe for pedestrians.

Read the article again, take a look at the code. The author is not complaining about Windows Explorer being able to parse and display metadata from PNG files. The author is complaining about how much embedded metadata there is inside PNG files inside the explorer executable file itself, as well as other DLL and EXE files in Windows.

The metadata that the author finds is actually inside resources inside the executable itself. It does not include any strings found in the executable which are used to parse the metadata from other files that you have on disk.

I'm not saying metadata is cruft. Metadata is very useful during production or for managing art assets. It is however superfluous once it is embedded in an executable or other code library or packed archive. This is simply because its purpose has already been served and it is no longer needed at that point, thus wasting space.
Windows 10: I am alive and you are dead
Tom Moore's Six Ideas That Shaped Physics is one of my favorites. It upends the traditional order of topics in an intro physics class: it starts with conservation laws rather than F=ma, both because they're more fundamental (you're not going to use F=ma in quantum mechanics, but you'll sure use energy) and because students taking calculus concurrently will have learned about derivatives there by the time you get to acceleration and really need to start understanding them. Lots of other pedagogically novel features, too.

Another favorite of mine that might be especially interesting to the HN crowd is Chabay and Sherwood's Matter and Interactions text. One key feature is its tight integration of simulations using "VPython", which students start to use within the first few weeks of class. That makes it viable to have students study realistic forces rather than just the simplest cases. (E.g. adding air resistance to projectile motion is just one more line of code, rather than requiring a course in differential equations.) That also makes it more reasonable for their book to give true equations from the start (like the equation for relativistic momentum rather than just p=mv) and then state the more familiar forms as approximations.

Randall Knight's Physics for Scientists and Engineers is a much more standard text than those two, but it's still worlds better than most traditional texts that I've used: it changes the old standards in smaller ways, but still incorporating lots of research-based improvements. (Knight's little book /Five Easy Lessons: Strategies for Successful Physics Teaching/ was a great introduction to Physics Education Research for me when I first started teaching, too.)

Eric Mazur, one of the real leaders of the Physics Education Research community, wrote a book not long ago called /Principles and Practice of Physics/. I haven't had a chance to really go through it in detail yet to get a feel for everything that makes it unique (one big structural change from tradition is that he focuses on students getting rock solid on 1D physics before introducing the complications of vectors), but he's such an expert in this stuff that I wouldn't want to leave his book off of the list. (It's organized in a bit of a weird way, mind you.)

I'm sure there are others that I haven't thought to list. Debora Katz has a new book that I just heard about that emphasizes case studies, for example. But yeah: almost any of these books are fundamentally different than the classics in some way, and worlds better in my opinion.

Same here, I have a Linux Mint desktop set up for my kids and overall I'm happy with the performance. It hasn't been 100% smooth though. In particular updating from Mint 17 to Mint 18 took some effort to get things working properly.

Almost all of our decisions are, really, permanent - and most of the time, we're not making them rationally. Break up with your significant other - then, even if you decide to "reverse" it and get back together, it won't be the same relationship anymore. Quit from your job - most likely, you won't work for the same company ever again.

Yes, these are only parts of life, and suicide ends life as a whole - but you have reasons why you're not stopping all of your friends from making all the small wrong decisions, right? You probably reason that they might know better, and if anything, their freedom includes the right to make mistakes.

Well, the same reasoning logically works for suicide, too - the magnitude of the components change, but the formula is still the same. I agree that it's a good idea to talk to someone who tries to commit suicide and make sure that they really want to make this decision and have thought about it - but our culture, meanwhile, painfully rejects the notion that in the end, you may agree with that person in their pursuit of suicide.

On another hand, you probably (statistically, given HN typical audience) support right to euthanasia; you think that if someone have immense physical suffering and no hope to escape from it, death is a viable alternative. But why do we reject the same treatment for emotional and intellectual suffering? You can't really feel both types, but for some reason, you suppose that one is more 'real' than another. That any emotional trouble can be healed, because "it's just in your head".

Respect for someone's freedom begins with respect for his decisions and respect for his mistakes. Too often the true reason for all this unasked for "help" is in selfish desire to "do good" instead of real empathy for another human being.

So you can over-spec your quality, which is expensive, or over spec your wattage using average quality gear, which is cheap.

Car schemes exist like Zipcar. I know people who live in cities and don't own a car who use them all the time. But it's turned out to be a pretty niche business. Zipcar is the highest profile of these businesses, at least in the US, AFAIK and even they ended up bought by Avis.

I suspect that with all the VC money subsidizing Uber et al, for most people the gap between regular rentals for a day+ and just calling an Uber isn't large.
There are two problems that discourage bug-reporting in my view.

One, people now want everything in an instant. Even one click seems to ask too much these days. The typical bug reporting system might require you to log in, then fill out something that looks like your taxes. Since this is optional and people have other things to do, they will not help.

The second problem is bigger: zero feedback, zero evidence of the worthiness of time spent. Many bug reporting methods are black holes. When people barely want to set aside time to help in the first place, wasting their time is a sure way to keep them from ever helping you again.

I feel that bug reporting and tracking should be separate. Do not force users to have accounts and figure out your database or write an essay. Create low-barrier reporting methods (like direct in-app commands or E-mail), and COMMIT to having a dialog so submitters are not left wondering. Provide easy, in-software ways for users to gather information that you need.
Paraphrasing Oscar Wilde, every IP address has a past; in theory, an email service will ensure that the IP they give you has a clean bill of health (not marked in blacklists and such), whereas your ISP or VPS provider may not.
Right, but the same logic applied to any popular app with users still on Mac Os.
One option would be a Navio2 [1] flight controller which runs the PX4 or Ardupilot flight stack on a realtime linux kernel on an rpi.
You'd then need to put that on an airframe (a F450 or one of it's many clones is a solid choice if you intend to use this thing outdoors).

You'll also need all the ancillaries (receiver, batteries, charger, rc transmitter) although you'll need those anyway if you plan to fly outdoors in a safe manner.

Alternatively, if you want a ready to go solution which is good for indoor and limited outdoor use, the Parrot ARDrone [2] runs linux, has two cameras and has aftermarket firmware available from both Ardupilot and Paparazzi projects.

Be aware that if you intend to use your drone for 'work' or commerce you should check your local air regulator (FAA/CAA/CASA etc) to see whether you require any permissions or qualifications to legally operate.

Being (knowingly) filmed constantly is extremely off putting to lots of people.

Protests are extremely volatile environments, and often a small number of people in them are there to cause trouble.

Protestors often equivocate attacking the government as attacking the police (sometimes reasonsably, as the police are effectively a state instrument). It's quite difficult not to create an us versus them attitude when some people in a protest are throwing projectiles.

The Qualcomm Snapdragon Flight and the Intel Aero systems are going to come in at like $500-$1000. If you want to process camera frames, your price target is a bit untenable for now. You might try to use any old flight controller and a pi with a camera, or a cheap wifi drone like the qr-w100s and doing computer vision over wifi (here's a repo we started for this: https://github.com/SeneCameras/qr-w100s)

If you're considering crazyflie, Flybrix is a programmable octocopter at $189.

>What living things do you know that go actively out of their way to experience pain and suffering? Such a behavior would be highly disadvantageous to any species and would run counter to the most basic instincts of all things living. We have pain receptors for a reason, that reason ain't that we just gotta learn to "enjoy the pain". As such I would argue that all living things live their lives on a rather hedonistic basis.

What about extreme sports? Extreme meaning ultra-marathons here, not jumping off buildings and rocks.

I'd say if you live a too sheltered existence where you avoid all negative feelings, you will have a very bad time in a crisis. So choosing to experience suffering is an insurance of sorts, learning to manage it so that you can function when it's really needed.

Many consumer ISP's use an IP pool, and do not store logs in a tamper-proof way.

Wifi routers are insecure and often can't be flashed with more transparant/secure software, so in practice anyone within 100m with a directional antenna can connect to your wifi.

People let guests on wifi, and students tend to share internet connections.

Some devices randomize their MAC address by default (Apple stuff I think) and MAC addresses are trivially spoofed.

If I'm on your wifi router I can probably spoof the MAC addresses of any and all of your devices, and I definitely can if you've ever connected to an AP managed by me.

Lastly, ISP's can spoof everything and fabricate logs with ease.

So no, technically there is no proveable link between IP address and person or device. Perhaps legally but that has no bearing on the technical reality.
The second benefit of well-made roundabouts is that they impede head-on and T-bone collisions. All accidents become side-by-side accidents.

This is true for suicide due to depression or other mental health issues.

However, deciding to commit suicide due to intractable terminal illness is often done in a very rational state of mind.

The big difference is that the later is a decision that is/should not be made alone, but with the assistance of your family, friends and or doctor.
I see.

I'm mostly finding drones with multiple rotors and batteries thus far, not much that's like a more traditional "is a plane, has an engine" type of approach, which I suspect will net me a fair bit of flight time.

This is really just a thought experiment - I saw the thread and decided to throw the question out there as something I've been mildly curious about for some time. "Could I load up a bunch of stuff into something that looks like a (big) model plane, head down to the local park, hit 'go' and have it land near a friend's house in a couple hours?"

I'll admit I was kind of expecting $10k, although that is duly disappointing to learn nonetheless.
Other than property price the latter is reasonably poor, very working class, whereas the latter are upper-middle class and very well off.
Eh, I'd have to agree that staying in the middle lane and going the speed limit is the smarter thing to do. There are too many badly-designed on-ramps and people that don't understand how merging works for staying in the right lane to be practical, in most cases.
"I have been designing a similar platform" - not a good idea to write this on a public forum, they will definitely use this phrase against you in court.
I had a hackintosh build that was working really well for two years. At the time I would never had considered windows. But I did the switch to windows about 2 months ago (using a linux vm as dev backend). And I surprisingly had zero issue.

The hackintosh can be a good way to taste the hardware diversity (even if the article don't go very far on the hardware side). Once you do, you realise how locked up you are by Apple.
