Yeah I'd be completely onboard with Troy if MS didn't force me to update my OS to one that overtly spies on me via Windows Update. "Should I enable/disable Windows Update" isn't the question, it's "Should I buy MS software ever".

This is yet another episode in "hey, software isn't just to make you rich". It turns out it runs shit like hospitals. Maybe don't pervert the security tool for marketing purposes.

What a mess! Came to this thread to read about Rust and its progress and this has devolved into a useless discussion about some person's website, who seems to consider that he/she is doing all the right things and the rest of the technical community is stupid.

Completely lost track of what thread I was reading.
Which is published by the American Enterprise Institute, a conservative think tank, known among other things, for climate change denialism of all sorts: 1) saying it will be minor / non-existent, 2) if it is real, it won't cost much to mitigate 3) bribing scientists as a last resort to get their alternative facts out.
My university had a building for the architecture department that was originally designed to be completely covered in vines so as to "hide" the actual architecture of it, to clear the students minds of preconceived notations, etc, etc.

Unfortunately, this was in the late 60s, so the concrete they used turned out to be poisonous to plant life, so no vines ever covered the building, there were some sad scrawny things in a corner, but that's it. And the underlying building was of course really ugly, so, yeah, that was a pretty big fail:

>How "old" is sufficient? Forever?

When the car I still drive was as old as WinXP is now, it was part of a 3.6 million vehicle recall for the cruise-control shutoff switch. The fix involved splicing in some kind of bypass in the wiring harness; so that was potentially 3.6 million parts, installed one at a time. If Ford can do that, why can't Microsoft write a patch for XP?

This is one of the major issues with selling books, I hear. There's very little profit margin on the books themselves, so most stores have to make up the difference with higher-margin items like a coffee shop, swag, etc.

On the bright side, there's little risk involved, since you're generally allowed to ship back any unsold books (or just their covers) for a full refund.
All the tools mentioned in the comment you're responding to support HTTPS just fine.
> all cross-origin requests will be blocked by default

"all" is a strong word. In the general case, you can make cross origin requests by doing

<img src="http://api.the-latest-unicorn.io/v2/produce/rainbows">

or even

<script src="...">

It's cross-origin, and it's a request, cookies will be sent with it, and if your GET requests have side-effects, you're going to have a bad time. You can even do POST requests, by making a <form> and auto-submitting it to the API with JavaScript. Of course, you're limited to certain MIME types, and notably not JSON. (And thank God for that.)

Even if we assume that you only meant requests made by JavaScript via XHR, you can still make cross-origin requests. If you make an XHR request that looks like any of the above (specifically, if it meets the criteria for a "Simple Request"[1]), the browser will send it. It might not allow the JS that sent the request to view the response (if the response doesn't have the appropriate CORS headers), but the request still gets sent (because the response has to get received), and any side-effects can still happen.

Thankfully, if you're writing a bog-standard JSON API, these usually don't apply … as long as you check your Content-Type header prior to decoding as JSON.

(You are completely right, I think, that not returning any CORS headers is the most restricted — as far as CORS is concerned. My point being that sometimes, it's the response that gets blocked, not so much the request.)

IIRC, the SameSite attribute is simply ignored by unsupported browsers. Is there any downside to setting it?
I don't think SAAS aligns the incentives the way the author claims it does. The biggest effect is to incentivize lock-in to an even greater extent than today. After all, if you can't switch then the money is guaranteed to keep pouring in.

Under the old model, if you didn't like Vista then you could stick with XP or wait for 7. Microsoft had definite incentives to make sure they were making improvements that were valuable to people. Under SAAS, you don't like Vista? Sucks to be you, because it's already installed - and thanks for the cash!

Finally this model doesn't account for those that can't do updates for one reason or another. Many of the first systems hit were medical systems that can't even do critical upgrades without going through a full requalification. It's possible that Windows should never have been considered for those systems in the first place, but the pressures of the marketplace almost guarantee that it happens.
You are blaming the failings of the US healthcare system on "the market", but the market in health care in the US is not anywhere close to a free market. Some key reasons why not:

(1) The supply of doctors (and other health professionals) is restricted by licensing, not driven by the demand for their services.

(2) The price of health care is not determined by supply and demand, but by various regulatory arrangements and bulk agreements which often do not involve either the producers (doctors, hospitals, etc.) or the consumers (patients) of the services. So the parties who are determining the prices are the ones with the least possible stake in the outcome.

(3) The consumers of health care, patients, are almost always unaware of the cost of the services they are getting, so they have no way of knowing whether those services are worth more than they cost, and hence no way of signaling where health care is being inefficiently provided.

(4) What the US healthcare system calls "health insurance" is actually a combination of insurance and prepaid health care. Insurance is supposed to be for unforeseen costly events, but most health care does not consist of unforeseen costly events but of predictable expenses (annual physicals, shots) and unforeseen not very costly events (you go to the doctor with the flu, get an exam, and are told to rest and drink lots of fluids).

(5) Prescription drugs are regulated by a regime (the FDA) that is heavily penalized if an approved drug has any bad effects whatsoever, but suffers no penalty whatsoever for keeping helpful drugs off the market for years while they undergo "testing" and hence depriving large numbers of people of their benefits.

I'm sure there are more, but those are just the ones I came up with off the top of my head.
Fair, but that's the point of upvoting questions, no? As someone who uses SO through google searches 95% of the time, I mostly see high quality discussions.
I was curious, but a good amount of Googling didn't turn up any etymology.

I'll take a guess, though, that it's from Common Lisp, because CL's intern function (http://clhs.lisp.se/Body/f_intern.htm) is clearly part of a suite of names (intern, unintern, :internal, :external) where, in context, "intern" makes complete sense as the name for the function.

A better analogy would be ticketing in Jira versus ticketing with Post-It Notes. The main job of the professional (medicine/programming) is not what's at stake here. We're talking about documentation. Jira is a heavyweight ticketing system that is okay, but a lot of people are really slowed down by it, and if there are problems with the network, no-one gets much effective work done. Post-its are less visible to all stakeholders, but they let the worker get on with their primary job with less interference.

Keep in mind that medical software isn't written with the latest and greatest frameworks and UX designers.
The demand for food is also pretty inelastic, yet the free market seems to handle that fine.
I hope someone reads this and makes it a reality.
200km is not necessarily 'imported'. People can walk 5km/hr easily. You are talking about 4 days' comfortable walk. Many nomadic groups would have had ranges exceeding 200km at least on occasion. For example I believe there is evidence that some Australian aboriginal societies regularly communicated over vaster distances, at least sporadically - eg. annually in certain seasons.
There is so much wrong with this article that I'll only address one part.

Taxing companies is illogical (ignoring that they are generally easier for politicians to tax than individuals, but that's another topic).

For instance, companies can only do four things with their profits:

1 - pay employees more

2 - pay shareholders more

3 - build/buy more (what is usually called reinvesting or R&D, but can also mean buying thicker carpets and nicer offices)

4 - build up cash (which eventually will be used to do one of the above 3 items)

Increasing taxes on companies only can reduce those 4 things. How a person can conceive that taxing them more has no impact is beyond me. In each instance there is a person that can be taxed at the end of the chain. So why do it twice?

Taxing companies merely distorts markets (witness all the money AAPL & GOOD put thru Ireland, or how GE pays so little taxes, but has armies of lawyers who do nothing but ensure money is moved to places in ways it cannot be taxed).

The author ignores reality and the many examples (I cited only 3) that disprove him in the hear and now.

His question is good - indeed, very important - but his answer is not only bad, but also misleading and incorrect.
Right, waymo attorney is what it is, but waymo expert does not imply waymo employee (much like waymo attorney doesn't necessarily imply waymo employee either)
I think your claim is right, but be wary about spec page counts. They blow out with age.

As time goes on, more pages are devoted to nailing down corner-cases, and retroactively legislating either for or against assumptions had previously been common sense until someone in the real world violated them.

Why would you as a consumer reward cronic care, vs a one time cure?

I myself would prefer the one time cure, and would be willing to pay for it.

In a perfectly free market, my demand for the one time cure would be represented by market forces.

Now ask yourself, what is it about the healthcare market, that PREVENTS my market demand for a one time cure, as a consumer, from effecting the market?
What's ambiguous? Airlines let you recline except during takeoff and landing. However, various people argue that just because you can doesn't mean you should.
I'd definitely pay for a place to go and sit with a laptop or book for awhile...you know, I wonder if something like olde London's "social clubs" could work today, but cheaper.

They were basically buildings or floors rented out to simply be a place to relax, kick back, do some quiet work, play pool, drink/smoke in what I can only imagine were velour jackets, etc. In practice though, they were very expensive and mostly an upper-class affair.

I feel like we could do better these days with say, 4000 sqft. of mixed-use space on the border between an industrial and residential neighborhood where rent is reasonable.

if this is the case this would seem counter productive to 'insuring domestic tranquility'

if i was looking to defraud a nation state that functioned in this way i would put in power an individual whose ethics would allow for any motion i willed to be enabled and whose demeanor would insure the individuals eventual ousting

in this way the nation state would assume the problem had been addressed by the removal of the individual all the while my desires would still be in effect

it is like intentionally failing to pay your contractors knowing full well that any lawsuit would be either impractical to pursue or any settlement would be a fraction of what was originally bid
It is absolutely NOT as inelastic as everyone assumes.

Most health issues are not emergencies. I as a consumer would be perfectly happy to shop around the market, and find the best deal on healthcare, if my efforts were rewards.

Unfortunately, prices are not transparent, and the costs are not payed directly by me. They are paid by my insurance provider, so why would I bother trying to reduce my bill by thousands of dollars, if someone else is paying for it anyway?
I bet a lot of the companies buying thousands of copies of windows were treating them like assets and depreciating them over 3 years. Can't do that when its a subscription. Also no one was doing SaaS at wide scale until 9/10 years ago.
Cool. I really like the UI. Response times are slow-er than I would have originally thunk, but I'm sure that's a side effect of the HN hug.

IBM stuff that survives from the 70s does so because those organizations planned their future hardware and software migrations. z/OS releases are supported for 3 years after release. You then have to update to the N+1 or N+2 version. Windows releases are supported for 11 years. You then have to pay for extended support or update. This has always been the case. This is well known. If you're running an internet connected XP machine and not paying for extended support you have nobody to blame but yourself. It is not Microsoft's responsibility to support all versions of their software indefinitely and for free.

Totally agree. As someone who does scientific modeling, fitting models is easy. Finding the model that correctly describes my problem and can be trained with existing or easily acquired input data is hard.
To me the products are different.

The Dell is a complete computer in a box.

Contrast to PC engines, which sell a collection of parts. A motherboard, a case, an AC adapter. Etc.

Oh, and btw careful how you mount the motherboard. I.e.: Conductive cooling from the CPU to the enclosure through a 3 mm alu heat spreader. Please contact us for advice if you want to integrate this board in your own enclosure.

Not that the PC Engines stuff is bad; it's just that I usually prefer to have the manufacturer screw things together and then test the final product.
Thanks for the reply, I appreciate it . Will update with what approach i took. I am most probably going to use the webpack hash to do the check .

Sadly free shipping and price in AU$ almost always means it will ship only in Australia.

Then again there is Block 5, the 'final' version including the new retractable landing legs, new engine enclosure heat shield and further performance improvements. Those were supposed to be in production by now, but we'll see. They're an important next milestone because that will be the version that gets man-rated and will thus have to be a 'frozen' config.
We are building a new product , and every time we release a new feature , our sales team call up and inform them about the change. Some of them do not refresh their screen and so changes are not visible to them , at that time our sales rep have to ask them to refresh it. It kind of give a bad feeling to the user and so we wanted to do something about it.

I don't disagree with any of that - but right now with today's culture, I think it'd be a huge shock. I can only imagine what kind of rap music would be made about UBI. Plus, if people didn't have a job, or have to hustle, they could also further their education, leading back into a virtuous cycle of productivity through better education.

Overall I agree with time the culture would definitely shift (probably the value of work would change a lot, not anymore based on $, but maybe more like art?), and the optimist in me thinks that we'd be fine. We might even end up less selfish if there's enough for all.

The pessimist in me says that the whole evolutionary nature to compete (even destructively) might take over some people, while other people would wither away with no purpose (kind of like the pax in firefly).
The Jira analogy falls a little bit flat, because the information entered into an EMR is often the actual product, not just documentation. Orders entered into the EMR directly affect the outcome of the patient, and errors can be fatal. Having a free-text hand-written system for something like that just seems pretty crazy. It'd be like going to a dev shop where no one used linters or wrote tests and the check for deploying to prod with no rollback option was one (admittedly extremely skilled) guy in the basement signing off after a quick code review.
The TSA has permitted use of private companies from the very beginning:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Screening_Partnership_Program

I don't think either airlines or airports wish to get rid of the TSA entirely. The TSA provides a nice excuse for extracting security fees and subsidies from the public. They just want looser rules on screening so they can pocket more of the fees rather than fork them over as wages to screeners.

And in any event, the security theater will remain as cover and a scapegoat for politicians, airports, and airlines in the [inevitable] case of a security breech.

That said, the screening at San Francisco International is managed by a private company and they do a pretty good job, avoiding many of the really stupid problems exposed at airports elsewhere. It's still security theater, but done relatively competently.
No one can demonstrate productivity gains because productivity can't be measured.

So then the OP shouldn't have made the claim. It ain't my job to prove it. :)

That said, I fundamentally disagree with the idea that one can't measure developer productivity. I agree that there are many potential measures, all of which have the potential to be flawed or distorted. But the idea that the productivity of a developer can't be measured at all is something I've never heard anyone seriously claim.
My wife is an MD who has used a lot of different EMRs at various hospitals during medical school and residency rotations. She said she actually likes Epic the best compared to all the others she has used.

She said she likes it because she can define her own templates and "dot phrases" that make it easy to set up her own workflow. Also that it's nice that everything is all in one app - in other systems you'd have to be jumping between apps to look at lab results and patient messages for example.
To me it sounds exactly like they're playing the two instruments on top of each other, if not 'side by side' - which is to say, not like something I've never heard before.
Clubs in the classic sense absolutely still exist in cities like NYC. But they're definitely not oriented around sitting around and working on your laptop.
Let me guess, you are a MLB pitcher? Toradol was famously used to help pitchers deal with arm pain before starts, starters put a lot of stress on their pitching arms.

Everything does not index the content of your files, only the name and some attributes.

Also MS already index file contents by default, it just sucks at it. There have been several occasions where I use the find file by name syntax and Windows can't even find the file in the current folder.
> I don't think either airlines or airports wish to get rid of the TSA entirely. The TSA provides a nice excuse for extracting security fees and subsidies from the public.

More importantly, it transfers liability for failures from airlines to the public, which is the major reason the function was nationalized.
