Well, I got my printer for $250 new, and the print quality is fantastic, on par with some I've seen that cost $1000+. I'm not sure if you consider that high-capital, but I've definitely seen single tools (e.g. saws, and, hell, phones) cost more than that.

I definitely don't think this is moon-house territory, the technology is very accessible, price-wise, especially if you consider that these tools are easily cheap enough for libraries and other communal spaces to buy and make available to the public.
Telemate BBS client was a great example of a windowed TUI in the style of DESQView. You could have a chat window, a DOS terminal and an ANSI terminal all open at the same time. Overlayed dialog boxes were framed, resizable and movable within the window. Scripting was supported in chat and terminal windows to navigate through menus or to type "^H^H^H^Hsexy beast" any time your name comes through the chat.
Another favorite of mine, Vern Buerg's List.com, was far better than Norton Commander or the MC clone, in my opinion. As a multi-column file viewer/manager, it maximized the number of files displayed onscreen and allowed simple file operations from a keystroke. By using a hex editor you could change the viewer and external editors. It was also written in 8086 assembly and was very fast.

Not only have you lied, but you may have handed over evidence of obstruction of justice/tampering with evidence.

No, of course they have predictive value. If they didn't, that would not support my point that the GWAS results are valid.

This is a very emotionally charged and drastic approach to open source. I am not seeing the benefits of doing this, I can only see downsides:

- Users who are loyal who cannot code are discouraged from voicing issue or asking for help
- Users who can code are dejected because that is the only way they bring up an issue first without coding.
Sometimes the creator is best suited to give advice or to simply do the thing at initial report or query.
- Makes the project look closed off.
- Lack of community and vibrancy, there are no issues, is it finished -- encounter issue -- bad software.
- Why are there no issues, is this developer giving up?
Writing security related code themselves instead of using a battle tested library. Never underestimate how many security holes there can be even in simple looking code.

The most common one for this is login systems. I've custom written ones with bugs so bad that a blank password worked for every login.

Same here. Some problems in ML are embarrasingly parallel like cross validation and some ensemble methods. I would love to see better support for Spark in scikit-learn and better python deployment to cluster nodes also.

I would argue that UTF8 was a character encoding knowledge question. Two of the answers were clearly wrong and the array did contains values over 127, so there was only a single possible logical answer.
After seeing what passes for "art" at MoMA, I wouldn't be surprised if a painting made by a neural network today were sold higher than a human-made one at an auction.
Somewhere around 70-80% of variance. People citing 50% as being conservative and generally ignoring measurement error and the heritability increasing with age. The latest GCTA methods, expanding the genetics considered but still far short of all genetic effects, turn in a lower bound of ~50% ("Genomic analysis of family data reveals additional genetic effects on intelligence and personality" http://biorxiv.org/content/early/2017/02/06/106203 , Hill et al 2017; "Comparison of methods that use whole genome data to estimate the heritability and genetic architecture of complex traits" http://biorxiv.org/content/early/2017/03/10/115527 , Evans et al 2017), so the true figure is definitely going to be much higher.
Can't say I'm 100% sure either. Certainly having nice buzzwords in the CV can be beneficial, but I would guess would be more common in certain corporate structures/areas/sizes.

I have no experience in being labelled a 'dinosaur', but I'm sure there are jobs where being practical and generating actual results will matter. In ideal conditions, these are the jobs which are desirable to work at, so I don't like the idea of optimizing for hotness in itself (at least for my own career decisions).
> Why? Does it apply for everyone?

Yes. Even if it's a stupid question in the docs maybe that means the docs are not as good as they could be. Or maybe it's a lazy developer / user. It doesn't really matter; most questions are going to be asked multiple times. Saving it in an issue will help those users who use GitHub or Google search and come across it.

> If a developer is so saturated that they can only look at 1 issue/day, wouldn't it be better for that issue to be of substance than a random, one-off question?

This is a pipe dream. You're never going to get issues of substance. Even if the proposed gist you're going to get a lot of PR garbage that maybe wouldn't have been a PR in the first place.

> I also think you are looking at it from the point of view of a maintainer with lots of time

I don't see why. My position isn't A maintainer has to answer all questions in an expedient fashion. When you add friction you're going to get less of both the good and the bad. If that's a trade off you want to make, fine, but that's not how you make a good product IMO.

It's an important skill to learn to take a lot of incoming noise and filtering it out to find the signal. It may be a good time to work on it if you have a OSS project people are using frequently enough to file issues. Don't forget there are other resources available to you. You may find people in the community to help answer questions, maybe you already answered a question in the past and you can quickly search for it and reply, etc.
Am I the only person who clicked on this link hoping it would provide guidance and help on how to switch to a different text editor after being "poisoned" by vi for so long?

Whenever I write code (or anything else) in another editor I still always have to carefully check diffs to confirm I don't have any vi control mode characters interspersed with whatever I was writing.

But I still can't quit using vi for everything else or my productivity goes into the toilet.

> Only if you know them. ... You can't log into the website without that account key.

To mean that you'd openly have access to information in front of the guard, and then let them know that you can't access it at this time because of your elaborate scheme (e.g. tell them that it exists, but that they can't have it).

That's quite different to just not travelling with the data (or evidence of it existing) at all.

> CBP isn't the only reason to want to have Travel Mode

No, but it's the only 'reason' that's likely to use serious, life-altering coercion to make you to disable it, if they detect that it exists. It may be better to have no data that suggests capabilities, than openly posses partially disabled capabilities.

There's no way for a border agent to tell if you're refusing to disable travel mode because you won't or you can't (and little reason for them to care).
From what little I know, I would guess any kind of surgical subspecialty experiences what ED physicians experience, times two.

I heard the story of a good neurosurgeon who, one day, made a serious mistake during a surgery and paralyzed his patient. It haunted him so much that he eventually took his own life, after he dealt with the malpractice lawsuit.
I had a job interview for a Data Science position, in which I was talking about data science stuff I'd done in my current position. I mentioned that I started with R, but it would keep choking and running out of memory, so I moved to Python and largely fixed the issue. To which one of the interviewers asked why I didn't use a spark cluster.

I was almost too stunned to answer. Their solution, was not to just use something more efficient, or even to just rent a single, more powerful EC2 instance or something, but to go to the effort of setting up and running a cluster. The dataset wasn't even that big: a few gb on disk.
It was painfully obvious already a long time ago that Uber uses the investor money to purchase the market[1]. For any Asian and European city I have ever lived in the calculation never worked. And I still believe it would have been better to just give the Billions to the several taxi companies and have them build a better app. Maybe even work with the car companies and have them build this functionality in their cars from scratch.

Not washing them is actually pretty reasonable. I wash my raw denim jeans roughly every 4 or 5 months; this does coincide with how often they actually get dirty.
At my current company everyone at a manager or above level becomes a career advisor for several younger resources. Every advisor has to go through HR training to do this and they are expected to spend a not insignificant amount of time each year helping each advisee. Also every non-manager has a career advisor.

I believe that this system really helps push people to focus on helping others in the organization and really making them focus on how others can be successful even if their path wouldn't be the same as theirs. Another aspect of the current system is the advisees can request to have different advisors if they feel others are better suited to understanding their background and goals.

I like to naively think that this system benefits both the advisor and advisee and both can get a tremendous benefit from the relationship. Overall having a mentor and mentoring others is a great tool for personal and professional growth. On several occasions I have had to really think about how to discuss options with my advisees who have different cultural backgrounds from myself.
You said revolt and now you're saying conquest which aren't the same thing. Of course the Crown got it by conquest. But nobody got land by armed revolt did they? Can you name any major land owning families in England that didn't start off by patronage? I can't think of any.

I do think however that efforts should be made to make the demographics of STEM graduates more similar to the general population demographics, via programs to motivate people to apply to STEM fields or scholarships, etc.

I think at that level (education) intervention is fine. However at the workplace, recruiting processes should have an equality of opportunity. People with the same qualifications, skills, etc. should have equal opportunity. And actually that's the law (EEO).
>This isn't a generalist quiz, nor is it a good baseline for interviewing candidates for the hiring process

Yes, that's the one I was going for, extradition treaty—I was referring to the fact that CBP can't just lean on the other country to send them the person they actually want to interview (i.e. extradite them for a crime they've been implicated in by the testimony of the person they just interviewed), so they really are stuck with just getting the detained person to call them up and negotiate.

If US CBP catches a low-level gang member from the UK, they can use their testimony to get an extradition order for higher-ranking gang members—so CBP are incentivized to detain low-level gang members and grill them to see what they know, even if they haven't done anything. But if it's e.g. a low-level Russian or Chinese or Iranian gang member, then the "extradite" part of the "use testimony as evidence to extradite higher-level members" plan doesn't work, so there's relatively little point to grilling such people.
I'm not sure why we are spending so much effort on these other GWAS studies when all we need to do is whole-genome sequence HN to figure out where intelligence comes from. I suppose it would be confounded by other behavioral traits that score high here.
Going to the mall is still a social thing. Maybe in the future with VR and such we will reach a point were the Amazon experience is able to entertain you and your buddies for an afternoon.... but for now, malls win at that. Amazon destroys a mall any day when it comes to convenience, efficiency etc. but they are a lonely solo shopping experience.
Remember that in many towns between the coasts, the mall is about the only "free" activity you can do on a Saturday afternoon.

This is another example of why I think developers need to professionalize the industry and set ethical standards.

Why do people willingly write code to automate the process off ripping off their own co-workers to enrich shareholders? Because if they don't, someone else will.

Maybe it's time to stop being developers and start being engineers. Ask yourself who benefits from software development being an ethics-free zone? Most likely, it's not you.
I love your website.
That's how the Glucotrack claims to work. From their site:

GlucoTrack uses ultrasonic, electromagnetic and thermal technologies to non-invasively measure glucose levels in the blood. GlucoTrack is intended for use by Type 2 and pre-diabetics.

GlucoTrack combines the following technologies:

Ultrasound (speed of sound change within the tissue);

Electromagnetic (conductivity of the tissue);

Thermal (heat capacity of the tissue).

It's not approved by the FDA, but it appears to be selling in Australia, New Zealand, Spain, China, Korea, Italy and some others.
This post just seems like it's trying to class-up a screw-you to their users. I'd prefer people just keep it crude like this rather than try to make it sound like it's somehow a nice thing to do.

The Feynman anecdote is irrelevant. I've discussed this before, on HN even: it was a single unspecified test as a kid for middle school. For all anyone knows (and I have looked into all discussions of this, finding no sources beside the brief mention in Gleick), 125 IQ was the ceiling of that test - school tests, starting from the original Binet test, are often not intended to measure gifted children but in the normal or low range.
I didn't downvote but I am in favor of treating different people differently.

If women succeed more when they have someone to emulate this should be encouraged. If men succeed more on their own leave them alone. The last thing we need is the notion that to be fair everyone needs a mentor or no one can have one.

An integer not the same as a boolean even if they both have the value of one.
In my [limited] experience PR have always been orders of magnitude better [for me] than the average issue. Maybe it's because they focus on improving the project and not user's problems. It is true however that some times they were unsolicited and/or unwanted, however they were still a lot easier to process and review for me as a maintainer.

Of course if you remove issues and reroute people to PR the quality of them will lower (though not so low as Issues) while you will miss important things, but still seems like the net result is a easier to review _issues_ which might be what saturated maintainers want.

Edit: I totally agree with the last paragraph (and parts of others of course).
My female engineer friends tell me that female mentors work well for them, but that female bosses often don't.

They all cite some sort of attitude where the boss had to gut it out in an unfair sexist world, and don't have much sympathy.

Anecdotal of course, but if true to any significant measure, would make mentors even more important.

Technically, the Crown owns the land. Everyone else owns an estate in this land. This distinction only really becomes important if you do something silly like die intestate (without a will) and without any heirs, in which case title reverts back to the Crown.
