Looks to me like the article made claims and backed them up with examples and screenshots.

Rather than saying the article is wrong, can you demonstrate /why/ it is wrong? Using its examples and concerns (Finder, console, and scripts)?
> I don't remember those having multiple representations for the same character in the same encoding or normal forms...

But that's not really what is happing here. What is happening is that the renderer decides to merge some code points into one glyph. That was true long before unicode as well (for instance ligatures) or even on old terminals with overstriking. Unicode just made this more explicit.
Yes the idea of having a criminal record is silly - It's a self-fulfilling label.
Once you are labeled a criminal, it only makes it harder to get a job and give up crime.

Besides, crime has become such an arbitrary thing.
A corporation is allowed to quietly syphon away billions of dollars from society using clever
government lobbying and tax avoidance schemes but if a member of society physically
steals something from a corporation, they'll go to jail.
Why don't corporations like JP Morgan and their executives get a permanent criminal
record when they are found guilty of criminal activity?

Either it should be consistent for all or it should be abolished entirely.

Most files don't have resource forks though, so the ._$filename doesn't store resource fork data in most cases. It usually just stores metadata.

I really doubt that 99%+ of Mac users use flash drives / zip files, though. I suspect that well more than 1% of users never use anything like that. A lot of people only have a single computer and share through e.g. just mailing files to people or using Dropbox, or not even that.

They're not "women-friendly" because they just cover women. The most women-friendly policy in the world is one that provides plenty of these opportunities to both sexes in equal, or almost equal measure.

If HR doesn't have to worry that I'm a bigger liability because of my gender (after all, the man sitting next to me also gets flex time and leeway to pick up his kids) that's a bonus for me.

The worst case is when there are no opportunities, or when they're so lopsided (14 weeks paid parental leave for women, 2 weeks for men) that you become a liability.
You're 26 with a skill-set that's in demand and you've worked for a company that will give you some clout moving forward. So you should be fine in that regard. If you're truly passionate about starting your own business, that'll win out in the long run. Don't pressure yourself into making a decision prematurely. Take your time. Maybe write down all the pros and cons for both staying and leaving. At the end of the day, making a well-informed decision is what I'd like to see anyone do in this situation. Living with regrets can be tough and you owe it to yourself to pursue your dreams.

5300 km / 24 h = 220 km/h

I agree. The article puts "extrinsic factors (like the chance to earn a big bonus) or intrinsic factors (like personal fulfillment)" as the primary factors. The "third" motivation, and I'd say likely the most common, is "fear". Even if the fear is that your children will suffer the same servitude that you are experiencing.

This is an extremely simplistic way to look at things.

Private organizations do some things much better than public, and vice versa. More often than not it depends on the question you're asking... And there's a lot of contextualization needed in the answer.

How's your electrical infrastructure, or your water infrastructure doing? They're supplied by private industry. How's your religious institution, your school bus, your local day care? What about public-private partnerships, like public transit? Personally, I will take the mixed market universal health care systems of France and Germany, over the 100% public Canadian waiting list system... but that depends on your criteria for success.

Volumes are written about each one of these cases, how to evaluate "success", what combinations of structures work well in what social contexts, etc. Other countries have private companies involved in prisons, and get great results... But their markets are different, their contract terms are different, the avenues of influence for legislation are different, their bidding processes are different, and their cultures are different. To reduce it to "privatization always raises costs and reduces quality of output" is ridiculous.
Haven't they also made RAM more important? I saw a tweet saying you can now have 3 apps at a time (split screen + one floating) but apparently this somehow requires 4GB of RAM. I find it hard to believe my iPad Air 2 couldn't do it just fine, but I don't think it has 4GB so apparently it's not allowed.
From my strict reading of the amendment, persons convicted of crimes are not automatically slaves, but could become such if the judge saw fit to include that in sentencing.

That's why the Hollywood version sometimes has the judge say, "I sentence you to ten years hard labor at Camp Rockcrusher." If they just said "ten years confinement in Oubliette Prison," then the prisoner would not be compelled to do anything against their will.

Instead, we oversentence criminals, and use the low-wage prison jobs as a carrot to reduce their prison time. You can work for peanuts and get out early, or you can serve your entire sentence.

The net effect is the same. The rent-seeking profit motive makes the criminal justice system more cruel and exploitative.

Well, I use Homestead because it's much more convenient. But you can use anything that you want, as long as you have PHP and mySQL. MAMP, for instance, XAMP, or really whatever. Have you heard of Valet (https://laravel.com/docs/5.4/valet) ?
The common cold is caused by a virus, not by bacteria. You can get the bacteria that cause Legionnaire's disease building up in the fluid in air conditioning units and then getting vaporized into the air, but I don't see how spraying more bacteria around is going to stop you from breathing in the ones the AC is blowing into your face.

I'd be very curious about which bacteria you have in your spray, and which bacteria they're supposed to be displacing.

It's called 'good time', which you earn as credits for early release. If you refuse to work you get written up and subtracted good time which means time added to expected release date. These disciplinary writeups affect parole potential as well.

The kitchen is also considered one of the better jobs, a bad job would be Hoe Squad, which means a chain gang led out into 35C heat to work the fields while guys on horseback yell at you to work faster.

The best skill you can have in most prisons is plumbing/home renovation knowledge, as it's common for one of the guards or warden to have you fix their houses in exchange for a restaurant meal on the way back to the prison. If you work well you will be contracted out F/T to the local town and the guards/warden pocket 90% of your salary.

Threads that push the narrative of the "Prison Industrial Complex", and also "Universal Basic Income", are always welcomed on HN.
Nice project. Keep in mind I'm just a tire-kicker on HN, but it would be neat to have dynamic periodic reminders similar to spaced repetition learning algorithms except you rate the strength of the relationship after each session. Strong ratings mean you can see them a little less frequently; weak means you should see them (a little) more frequently.

Ideally this would let you maximize the number of maintainable acquaintances. Unfortunately (for some), it would also prevent any from getting too close. :)
Whether or not it makes them worse, it keeps them away from everyone else where they can do serious damage.

If you want to fix what is wrong you start by not labeling people "felons" for life--change every law so that when someone gets out they get their full rights restored--voting, right to bear arms, all of it. And do away with sex offender registries and all of it. If they re-offend, put them away for good.
The threat a person poses is only one consideration. Justice requires punishment (btw, mercy only makes sense in light of punishment as justly deserved; you can only be merciful to someone who deserves punishment). If the crime committed is proportional with imprisonment, even if that person is not a threat, there is nothing unjust about that in principle. (The question of whether there are people in prison who ought not to be is a particular consideration not relevant here.) There are perhaps practical considerations that can affect the form the punishment may take, of course, but the point here is that threat posed is not the only or even the most essential consideration where just punishment is concerned.
No reason to get defensive. Since you're now implying you have some health issue, my point still stands. Most people will adjust to whatever schedule they start to keep. Just look at the number of people who enter the military to see schedule adjustment on a huge scale. So it does not just work for me or all the other people I've seen turn themselves into 'morning people'.
That may be the case for some, but for some others I've met in similar situations in developing countries, they were happy and felt proud to be supporting their families. I didn't feel like their primary motivation was fear. Not everyone is so complex or pessimistic.

My personal recommendation is to drop third-party logins and allow users to sign-up via usernames (without emails). That means you need to deal with "lost password with no way to recover" situations and spam but it's still better than third parties controlling the most important aspect of your application.

Ugh. Internist is not a synonym for intern, unpaid or otherwise. An 'internist' is a sub-specialty of fully-licensed medical doctor, as in 'internal medicine'. It's equivalent to a pediatrician except specifically focused on care for adult patients, in contrast to a 'family practice' or 'general practice' doctor, who focuses on both adult and pediatric patients.
So where is the $75k cost to house them coming from? Clearly some contract is too expensive and something is not adding up.

For that price, we should have Harvard classes taught at prisons, and maybe these inmates could have a shot at using their disparate lifestyle extremes to have new ways to employ/create new businesses that can improve society in areas where they see/experience/witness need for improvement, and put our tax payers to good work.

If every prisoner is cooking mopping and doing whatever for free, where is the $75k/yr coming from?
Here's the reason no one thinks about those things: no one makes their numbers public.

Or at least I've never stumbled across a blog post with anything like a line item cost range for everything that goes into DC or cloud networking.

And in the absence of transparency, yeah, people are going to assume they're getting screwed.

(I understand why this is. The networking free market seems to do a decent job at fulfilling needs, but it turns all those things into secret sauce that shouldn't be shared.)

I just finished Godin's altMBA two weeks ago, and it's all about critical thinking. This was a struggle for a lot of the students as they were either use to or expecting a typical college style instructional design.

The whole program was incredible and my mind is still spinning. https://altmba.com/
Solidworks 2017 torrent
Why wait for college to teach critical thinking skills? My father is a prof at a major university and we grew up discussing ideas, but high schools can teach critical thinking skills and problem solving. My high school was owned by the university and we did a lot of critical thinking.

Jewish religious schools (Yeshivas) teach critical thinking skills by studying the Talmud [1]. A number of Yeshiva students take the LSATs and skip college altogether to go directly to law school so powerful is the process of learning Talmud.

Basically Talmud is full of (often) legal arguments and stories and a lot of time is spent on thinking through/arguing edge conditions (e.g., a piece of property is found overlapping public space and private space).

The point is that college is absolutely not necessary to teach critical thinking skills and in my opinion this should be started at a much younger age.

Incidentally, I have found even graduates of Ivy League schools seem to not understand basic fundamentals. For example, in Economics, they don't seem to understand why housing is so expensive in certain cities and don't seem to have the analytical skills to understand why prices are high.

I found myself becoming disinterested while watching the keynotes over the past couple of years. They present _so many_ things now. I disagree with author's opinion about the people on stage being on commission. I don't feel a sales pitch; I just can't be interested in the number of things they're trying to fit in to the keynotes these days. But hey, I'm sure there's a chunk of people interested in each topic -- maybe they should think about moving some things out of the keynote.

When did you move to NYC? It hasn't gotten hot yet this year but you'll see that living without an AC or a fan is hell here. The inside of apartments (especially older ones which most are) gets amazingly hot and it stays that way once it heats up outside.

It has been a rather cool spring and we haven't had a heat wave yet but rest assured once we do you will find inside your apartment will be unbearably hot and humid. And it will stay that way well into autumn.

The city itself gets hot too with a lack of airflow and tons of AC units pushing out heat and exhaust from vehicles and the Subway as well. The Subway stations will be unbearably hot as well since the train is air conditioned and has lots of heat exhaust from this and its regular operation.

Luckily apartments are small enough that a decent window AC can usually keep an entire unit comfortable and only has to be run when you're home.
You'll notice that basically everyone involved with WASM agrees that it won't be used for full applications any time soon if ever. It's only people who aren't as involved who are calling for it.

WASM is not a replacement for javascript, and it's not trying to be. You won't be writing entire applications in whatever you compile to WASM, it's not how it's designed, it's not how it's meant to run, and it's worse in most ways than just compiling your favorite language to javascript (which has been possible for a long time now, but nobody uses it because it's such a leaky abstraction).

The open web is flourishing more than ever, and WASM is keeping that alive with it's "text" mode.
