I made an account just to provide some balance to the glowing reviews about the Surface Pros, and to see if I'm the only one here that feels this way. I own a Surface Pro 3. I want to like it but a few things ruined it for me.

TL;DR: Unless they redesign the charger and make the touchscreen resilient to cracks, I won't be buying another Surface in the future.

Complaint #1: Am I the only one here super frustrated by the design of the SP3's (and SP4's) charger? Specifically, the magsafe-like plug. It frays right where the cord meets the plastic plug and short-circuits. You can actually see the spark inside the plastic piece that connects to the computer, and the LED indicating it's connected to power will flicker on and off. I've owned two cables now (the original and the replacement I got for this issue) and it's happened on both. There's a thread here about this: http://www.surfaceforums.net/threads/power-cable-fraying.108...

The result is I have to be very careful when it's plugged in, because if I move and shift the cable, it might short-out and the computer shuts off (and it resets my Surface's time, too). Also, annoyingly, sometimes the LED in the plastic magsafe plug indicates it's connected to power, but when I connect it to the Surface the Surface says "plugged in, NOT charging" (emphasis mine).

Microsoft recalled the power cords due to the AC power plug, but not the magsafe connector. So when I contacted Microsoft about the recall, they sent me the part that plugs to the wall, which was not the problem. I've tried reinforcing the connection with electrical tape, and that helps to a very limited extent.

Complaint #2: A month into owning the SP3 I dropped it and the screen cracked. This broke the touch screen (the Surface thinks I'm repeatedly tapping where the screen is cracked.) I had to disable the touchscreen drivers to make the Surface usable, so now the tablet functionality is all gone, which is a bummer because I bought it in part for reading and videos. And, even with the drivers disabled, when the computer boots up from power off, it often waits indefinitely at the screen with the word "Surface" unless I "massage" the area where the screen is cracked. This behavior (and recommendation to massage the screen) is documented in this reddit thread: https://www.reddit.com/r/Surface/comments/4vmimv/surface_pro....

Dropping it was my mistake, but I wish the Surface's touchscreen was more resilient/better able to handle cracks. iPads and iPhones seem much better off in this respect.

Complaint #3: Occasionally, the Surface will turn itself back on when I've pressed the power button to turn it off. The result is I'll come back to use the Surface later and the battery will be totally dead. I'm 85% sure that it's not me hitting the power button to turn it back on, especially because my power settings are such that, if it's sitting idle for 5 minutes, it should go to sleep.

I really like the Surface in a lot of ways, but the issue with the power cable and the fragility of the touchscreen make me unlikely to buy another Surface, and make me hesitate about recommending a Surface to a friend.
Thanks for the feedback and really appreciate the support!
i recently saw multiple corporate sites implemented in angular 1.

the job that should be plain simple html was done in angular,
and you could notice it, simple flickering and slowdowns for no aparent benefit.

just so stupid.
I have strong opinions on this topic from a differing set of influences.

In unranked order:

0. From a part of the US where how you dress a metric for how earnestly your intentions are; be it prayer, asking for a date, or (as mentioned above) interviewing for a job.

1. Military influences: Dad in Navy; lived and visited a big base quite often, knew many veterans (see 2, below). Uniforms in that context subsumed the above (0, above), and added how, for the military services (poster-children for "highly ordered & massively scaled"!) , uniforms matched their operations to a tee.

2. I worked for an airline for a decade-plus and got deep into air transport operations. From the day I was hired, until I resigned, I experienced or witnessed all the different ways uniforms rocked, with one or two counter-cases where the letter of the law was, let's say, liberally interpreted <frown>. Yet, overall, in real-world use, uniforms were clearly advantageous and I got the hang of it in no time.

3. I hope I'm not alone in this, but for me, donning a nice, fresh, crisp uniform - whatever style it might be - makes me feel more assured, more vigorous, more ... "I got this" 'tude than if I just wear whatever. (See 'Interview' block below.)

As for day-to-day, on-the-job; it's just fun to mix it up (time & laundry permitting).

Today was a blazer with a bow tie (MaxAccountantMode, heh), but to wear any tie is rare; maybe a blazer or sportcoat twice a week, at most, with the daily usual being a collared knit shirt (as made famous by Izod (!)) and intact darker dyed jeans, or industrial hiking khakis( which are my new favorites).

Finally: interviews. I wear a dark suit, shined shoes, pressed shirt (often new), proper socks, proper tie that's properly knotted. OMG ... I probably look like a salesman <see above>. But my batting average is pretty good, so I'm not sure I should change the recipe.

Cheers,

One way is to delete entries from `require.cache`.

Either way you might get a separate instance if npm decided that your module and another module require different version of a given module. These would both be singletons though. Just singletons of instances of different versions of the same module.
Thank you! I knew it was a matter of finding the right keywords to search for. Time to experiment a bit.

I had a simple rabbitmq -> elasticsearch logger I wrote in scala, which had to handle peaks of about 8000 messages/s on a single t2.large instance (with elasticsearch on the same box).

It took about a week and a half to write, and would have taken a bunch more time to fix to apply backpressure properly, so it suffered from getting OOMed. Even it's base memory usage was around 300MB. I rewrote it in elixir + genstage in about 8 hours, now it takes 60MB of ram for basically as many messages as I can throw at it, because 1) beam uses a lot less base memory 2) backpressure concerns are sorted out.

In scala, I would have to use akka streams or similar, and it would take me weeks and still I don't think I could get it to fit in such a small footprint.

I plan to add websockets to view a live stream, but I have a little trouble finding the right genstage patterns (as it's still new).

If I were doing high frequency numerical calculations, maybe scala would be a better fit, but for most high speed messaging elixir is pretty amazing.
Does the US deficit dictate capital flows, or vice versa?
It's a lot, lot easier to read papers on the algorithms needed by, and understand the specific requirements of, a particular project than it is to learn the entirety of software development outside algorithms ad hoc.

Honestly, even though I do know a fair bit about the Bit Torrent algorithms, I wouldn't trust that knowledge since it's most likely out of date or incomplete. It's deserving of research for anyone, even people who 'know it already'.

That's why I don't understand these narrow algorithmic tests - very, very seldom is a priori knowledge about DFS vs BFS going to be something that makes or breaks a project.

It would be akin to testing civil engineers on the memorization of precise ratios of the ingredients of concrete in current usage, instead of on the broad applicability of particular materials to particular purposes.

Worthwhile subhead: "In a recent much-remarked-upon and very short op-ed, George P. Shultz and Martin Feldstein argue that the only way, or at least the best way, to cut the U.S. trade deficit is for Washington to cut the U.S. fiscal deficit. It is at least as likely, however, that cutting the fiscal deficit will simply increase debt or increase unemployment."

the hardest thing is, after their experience in trying to quit vim is then trying to tell them "No, it's actually quite an awesome editor....no it's not a piece of #$%!%.....no truly, it's good! .... oh you're back in your nice safe IDE, ok ok, we'll talk later" :)
The trick seems to be to have a shell company that owns the property and then buy and sell the company rather than the property - the Panama Papers are full of these kinds of shenanigans.
What people might be missing is that you don't do anything "lean" without refactoring sprints. So as you grow, you keep considering the macro structure. If not, you should use TDD at least.

Nevertheless, validation is key, from an executive POV. It makes sense that things are dirty in the beginning, but they should start being encapsulated, object oriented, properly interfaced, etc. as soon as you feel in need for a second programmer.

Not that I have followed it that closely, but of course it's not a black vs white conflict, more like several factions wanting to win power/suppress their enemies.

I think it started as a demonstration against the corrupt Assad that turned violent when his army started shooting. The "rebels" picked up arms and probably brutally kills pro-government soldiers/citizens, so they are not saints either. Meanwhile ISIS takes advantage of the chaos to try to win control of regions. The Kurds are fighting them because there's probably a Kurdish area in Syria? But Erdogan doesn't like a Kurdish rise, so he's probably quietly looking the other way as European ISIS sympathisers travel via Turkey in and out of Syria. Russia wants Assad to stay in power because he's a puppet, so he's bombing "rebels" and ISIS.

We haven't even mentioned Iran and the USA. As this report https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2015/10/16/world/middlee... says, in one side of the conflict USA (at least Obama's USA) is working with Russia, in another side they're backing opposing sides.
Why go there in the first place? Doesn't sound very appealing.
ADHD's primary effect is lowered inhibition. One of the consequences is that when untreated you end up blurting things out instead of just thinking them.

It usually leads to some pretty abrasive interactions with people, at least in childhood. You end up just kind of pissing off everyone around you.

As we reach adulthood though, your "being an adult"-ness can end up helping you out in controlling this. And people around you might be more likely to support you/deal with you (because they too have become more like adults).

I think that in adulthood you can find comfortable spaces to be in despite speaking before thinking. But as a child it's harder (at least that's what I experienced and saw with my friends).

And the important thing: those getting treatment can get a lot of this suppressed! ADHD medical treatment can almost completely remove this from your system (while you're on the meds, at least)
Ask HN: Automate adding nginx and ufw allow rules via a restful API?
I feel this is a problem that should be solved somewhere already, without using something big like openstack.

eg. You can only connect to `myapp.com:443` and call `/set/ip-address` with a `auth` token in the header and ip in the body. This data get dumped into a sql table and a nginx and ufw allow rules update will take place, currently with a ugly py hack:

system.os('ufw allow proto tcp from {} to any port 444'.format(ip))

system.os('echo "allow {}" >> /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/include_allow.conf && service nginx relead'.format(ip))

I will be running another nginx `server` listening on `port 444 ssl;` that will `include /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/include_allow.conf`

It's not a particularly good sign that the gateway to this "gateway", as it were, doesn't like you not having JS enabled.
> most adults are able to be disagreeable without using a slur, such as us

The whole point of an insult is to get the other side angry, not necessarily for it to have roots in reality. I do agree that it's not a good way to have an argument. If I want to insult you I'll look at what hurts you the most.

Here is something that's not being called out as racist:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g5ulvcqaiM8

> I would say sexism wouldn't exist if people could disagree on merits of discussion instead of any insults (which, by nature of personal attack, immediately invokes all *isms of the victim).

Sexism exists because:

- there are a few actually sexist males and females out there see: https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=marissa+mayer+gender+bias&...

- biology is sexist and there is little we can do about that

- sexism can be used as a great excuse for failing and it can be weaponized, you can threaten your boss that you'll call him sexist if you, the female don't get the promotion instead of the more qualified male

What I don't believe exists is: systematic sexism, that I believe is made up to be the ultimate excuse for everything.

> there's a huge difference between insulting someone because of their perceived character ("asshole") with little cultural baggage, and insulting someone for being literally in their own skin with a word that has huge cultural baggage

There is no difference if your objective is to hurt the other person's feelings, you pick whichever is most effective.

> Finally, I do agree that the lashing out against Trump supporters is bad. Just as it was bad that Obama supporters also had to put up with burning crosses in their frontyards when he was elected. Both sides can't see this sucks for everyone at different times for some reason and it's a stupid cycle.

I mostly noticed this from Hilary supporters, it's not an eye for an eye thing: http://blog.samaltman.com/what-i-heard-from-trump-supporters

> continued ignorance of believing we are in some post-race society

Do we have slavery? No

Is it acceptable to be openly racist? No

What is your criteria for a 'post-race society'? What other checkboxes do we need to hit to get there?
Property is included in inheritance tax, which is 40% of the total estate value over £325k (or £425k if you're smart about it). So big land owners do get hammered trying to pass it on down generations.

You can try and mitigate that by gifting to your children, but the tax free limit for that is only £3k per year and is still taxed if it's given less than 7 years before you die. Not really enough to do extensive property owners much good.
> Nobody can find my boss, and five minutes later, two policeman show up and escort me out of the building

Austrian / Europe here. We are slightly more formal in business life when it comes to how we dress but certainly more relaxed that our Italian neighbors.

I remember well when I did my military service and ha to wear a uniform. At first I hated it but when I "disarmed" and went back to my civil life, the daily "burden" to decide what to wear was a distraction. Sure I quickly re-adapted but anyhow
Absolutely agree. Another part of the problem is the need to become a unicorn at any cost.

Why prefer having a huge valuation (based on thin air) when you can have a more modest but totally profit generating business?

This is a question that many in the Valley should answer honestly.
Signature based anti-virus is a must have on any widely deployed platform that doesn't have default code-sign requirements. So, basically, Windows and FOSS Desktop.

But, it's become so drastically commoditized that there's no reason for the average user to have anything but the built-in MSE (on windows, at least).

It doesn't stop new attacks, but it does help raise the bar against malware.
You're not wrong but for me this kind of behavior just takes away the joy of technology. We don't completely own or control our devices. The services that we use all have hidden (or not so hidden) agendas and treat us as products.

I'm still using an old Nexus 4 but I can't be bothered to replace it. Nothing on that market excites me anymore.
This is also not exclusive to Vim. I don't use any plugins and I have a lot of common key bindings (especially for text editing) I can use on every text editor field on my Mac (which are pretty similar on Windows). Heck I even have Emacs keybindings on OS level on macOS nearly everywhere (without installing plugins): http://jblevins.org/log/kbd

So Vim is an addition where as my key bindings work everywhere except when I go to the console where I had to learn some nano specific key bindings but which match a lot with the basic text editing keybindings from Emacs mentioned above.

I remember when I entered the work force back in 1978 right out of college and went to work for Bell Labs. We were required to wear a suit, ties and white shirt. You were not allowed to hang your jacket over your chair; it had to be hung in the closet. You could smoke at your desk, I am not a smoker but many others took advantage of that. You could smoke in conference rooms during meetings and in elevators and many did so (See Mad Men).

Makes an interesting counterpoint to the usual nostalgia about Bell Labs. I'd have guessed the smoking, but probably not that the dress was quite so formal.
I have been that guy. All of 2009-2013 or so.

After being locked in secondary with no comms, food, or water for hours on hours enough times, one gives up. CBP once kicked me out of a border control point in northern Vermont, in a snowstorm, in February. I had to hitchhike simply to not freeze (my sim didn't work, so no way to call a cab, and they had sent the bus on without me, hours earlier).

I've been searched, both well and also simply as intimidation, more times than I can remember. Most searches are not thorough in any capacity, but simple displays of power and dominance.

My foreign partners have been repeatedly groped by these pigs. Vacations have been ruined simply by traveling together - they deny foreigners entry.

The file still haunts me. Every time I enter, secondary - with associated 30-500 minutes of delay.

There's no recourse.

I cringe every time I exit the US, for the 2-10 hours I will lose upon my next re-entry.

vi is of course just a visual interface to ed, so they have the same commands, based on Multics qed.

I don't know about GNU Emacs, but the original Emacs (in TECO) had a "slow terminal" mode that did minimal updating, and a "printing terminal" mode that really just kept you up to date on what was going on around the cursor. It worked fine in a pinch. If I didn't want that I just used TECO, which his like using ed only more compact and of course programmable.

Speaking of slow terminal mode: the SUPDUP protocol (an early visual remote terminal protocol) had specific support for Emacs in it, so you could edit over the arpanet and get pretty good response. It repainted and managed the screen somewhat locally (like a channel controller but full duplex). It was handy even when the arpanet backbone was upgraded to a 56K line. I also used it from a KL-20 in Paris -> weird X.25 network -> MIT-Multics -> MIT-AI in the early pre-TCP 80s and it was bearable...just. SUPDUP made a huge positive difference.

(SUPDUP because it was a super duper protocol)
