There are much better free [web based] alternatives for WordPad, Paint and Notepad these days and I prefer to use those over these obsolete applications. These are not useful applications, we just like them because of nostalgia.

I doubt if Microsoft is removing Paint because of OS base image size. It should be more about source code maintenance and UI consistency. Both WordPad and Paint got ribbon user interface for Windows 7 and calc.exe has been replace by a modern Windows Store app in Windows 10.

Why should Microsoft spend time and resource to keep these applications up to date while majority of users are using better free alternatives?
Thanks for your (and everyone else's) work on Elixir, José! This plus Phoenix 1.3 at the end of the week is great news. <3
For what it's worth, I did something similar for my master's dissertation, but couldn't be bothered to learn make, so I used a python library called pydoit:

All my analysis code, plots, etc were already in python, so it fit in well. Lyx has a CLI from where I exported .tex and compiled to pdf.
FWIW, I'm having a lot more fun watching Formula-e than Formula 1. It's the awful sound of current F1 cars, coupled with the Indy-like equality of Formula-e cars. Lots of overtaking, very competitive, very dependent on the pilot. Formula-e is proving to be quite fun.

I'll concede it's not F1, and I'll also concede that I'm a disgruntled ex-fan of F1.
Branded Mobile App for Automobile Business – Why Matters
You and others are claiming they are criminals, even though they were never prosecuted. People who use those services are not uncaught criminals, this is just government propaganda, they are legitimate users.

It's just like with Tor, government agencies want you to believe that it is used mostly for "criminals", but it isn't.
I'm still unsure of the usefulness of SQL Server on Linux. I don't see the point of running SQL Server on Linux (I'd rather choose PostgreSQL or something), nor do I see the point of choosing Linux if I'd already settled for SQL Server.

I don't think this (in the end) is anything more than a marketing trick, there to give the illusion of choice.

This is not uncommon in ISVs, btw. There are many commercial offerings that have a Linux version, crippled in so many interesting ways that it makes it pointless. I'm a Linux person but I advocated against choosing Linux versions (of different products) many times in the past. Actually, that means the marketing trick works.

In my experience, software always has a primary plaform where it shines, and the other "supported" platforms are always stepchildren.
No, that's water pipes to your home. You can buy water in many, many, many other ways.

I'll take a crack at this. Elixir lays a really nice syntax, set of tools, and community over top of Erlang/OTP which are already amazing. While the language is new and increasingly popular, it is arguably not widely/well appreciated how nice and solid the language/ecosystem is at this point in its lifecycle.

I see this kind of argument/counter argument popping up from such different topics such as cashless society, tor, BitTorrent, cryptography bans and so on.

To have a honest discussion, how would we measure the benefits and drawbacks of a bitcoin mixers? One way to measure the drawbacks is to look at how much money is involved in the by criminals, but I suspect that the collective of criminals that use email to conduct crime is bigger and involve much more money than those that use bitcoin mixers, so it seems we need to also measure the benefits. How would we do that? Redirecting the question to researchers and have them conduct anonymous surveys of legitimate users of such service?
IE4 was a rewrite, not a refactor job.
I kind of equate ethereum to HTTP or FTP. did anyone make money on those when they first came out? Also, if the decentralized "goal" is manifested the wealth wouldn't be concentrated. If you paid a transaction fee of .5% instead of 2%-3% you didn't make a lot of money but collectively the ecosystem would benefit immensely.
I suspect you're asking the wrong question. If you're truly good at multiple things, and you've eliminated everything you don't like doing, you're ahead of the curve and beyond this model.

Happiness is a funny thing, because you can't just keep going straight. Doing only things you like (or things you're good at) isn't a recipe for long-term happiness. Both lottery winners and victims of horrific accidents revert to an average happiness over the long term.

Nice! The CSV format for code blocks grabbed my attention. That's possibly friendlier to write by hand than tables (https://github.com/adam-p/markdown-here/wiki/Markdown-Cheats...) and also nice because you could make your table in something like Excel/Libre, save to csv and then copy/paste.
I don't understand the love for Paint. It's terrible at almost every single thing it does. Cropping is complicated. Resizing is complicated. Text and drawing result in a blocky mess. It's just unfortunate Paint 3D is a slug.
During the internet bubble fundamentals didn't matter because it was a new economy, valuations shot up, everyone was seemingly raising a lot of money to be the next best thing and then the music stopped. Reasoning of the form "this seems crazy but it must obey different fundamentals we don't understand so let the music keep on playing" should make us uncomfortable.

> Can't deny it is an interesting space!

I'd actually disagree exactly because of the lack of "killer apps". There are plenty more interesting things happening in technology when you consider no one really seems to know what to do with this. Right now blockchains sound like get-rich-quick catnip for geeks.
Why should I waste time installing those apps? Or Internet traffic and even some CPU with web based apps?
Elon Musk says Mark Zuckerberg has 'limited understanding' of AI
I'll try. I asked people in a reddit thread about this same issue why they don't just switch to another cellphone network. The general reply was "Verizon's coverage and reliability is a lot better than competitors." It seems to guarantee a general level of service (reliability and speed) Verizon has to put certain limits on certain data. I mean look at others. They are not throttling, but then they are not providing a reliable enough connection. Seems like the market is working. Current tech allows certain performance at certain cost. Verizon is doing a good job managing all the factors to ensure that most people prefer it's service, despite the throttling of YouTube. Mandatory NN in this context would deteriorate the experience for most users, while also increasing government involvement and the inefficiencies that come with that. Is there a flaw in my argument?
I agree that the Windows App Store is a bad experience. I don't agree that they should extend add/remove programs to encompass this functionality. It's from literally 1995 and should be removed from Windows. It's actually really funny to me how some dialogue boxes and options modals have been unchanged for 20 years.
Ahh, I see. That looks very interesting, thanks, though Windows-only.

> how much this is freedom of speech

I argued in another thread (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14846562), but hope you won't mind my repeating here, the (tried but true) trope that free speech guarantees only the right to say what you want, not to have anyone listen. Not disseminating someone else's speech is not the same thing as suppressing it.

Why then do Windows 10 laptops get sold with HDDs? You come to store and that's what you get out of it.

Also, Linux doesn't mind running from HDD. Not ten years ago, not now.

Lesson to MS: Get your act together or get out of this business. Come back from make-believe world. MS is running on make-believe for the last 10 years. Windows 8, the whole Avalon story, Windows Phone and now this Windows 10 "which only works well on SSD but never discourages anybody from getting an HDD laptop". Supposedly we should learn about this by telepathy or something.
Failure Fridays: Four Years On
Does anyone actually use Elixir? If so: What makes it the right decision?
It's actually not - if you try to avoid integrating in any way with the os. Shared-nothing apps are pretty nice.

SQL server and a few of the other behemoth apps seem to have a very hard time staying separate from windows which is annoying.

In Linux the design benefit is that there are package managers and the flaw is that there are many. Shipping a simple binary installer for multiple distributions is still tricky.
Then the 0.07% number was probably wrongly estimated by the founder, that number would be 0.037% then. He might have missed the 3 before 7. Anyway, that explains it.
Some recognized projects that didn't have an ICO:

https://etherdelta.github.io - decentralized exchange is getting decent volume. Ironically the hacker dumped the veri tokens there.

https://ethlance.com - freelancer market. Looks like a place where once can earn Ether for coding in Solidity and related gigs.

http://ens.domains - .eth domain registry. Highly successful, will be integrated into the upcoming 'mist browser' release, plus a few other places (wallets & exchanges) support it already. Over 133k names registered.

Probably more I've missed.
Development on top of ethereum platform is in it's infancy. SQL injection attacks were as frequent when web development was young. I haven't checked it myself but I guess the current API is quite low level and doesn't include higher level abstractions to prevent this kind of attacks. Also there are no established development practices regarding security.

> So... do you mind answering the second part then? Will they change ycombinator.com to something else if somebody is offended? Or will you change your "smhost" if I'm gonna tell you it offends me?

At least in my original post, a key part of my argument is that no-one is requiring alucard to change the name of the mirror. The only question is whether the mirror will be listed. Thus, I think it is analogous to asking whether I would remove a link to ycombinator.com from a page I controlled if I were offended by the URL, or if I might try to hide posts from smhost if I were offended by his or her handle; and either of those seems like a reasonable response (even if taking offense itself would clearly be unreasonable).

Yes there are better things out there but for the cost Ikea is very good.
Barely usable is dramatic, but the multiple interfaces to do seemingly the same thing is annoying and I agree makes usability a challenge. What differentiates when a setting is in the old Control Panel versus the new one? What's the difference between Edge and Internet Explorer, and why is my browser sometimes a traditional window and sometimes a full screen, touch focused app (this is a gaming PC hooked to a TV, so no touching)? I'm often accused of being an Apple fanboy, and while I try to stay agnostic, I think some of the things Windows has done with 10 are pretty confusing, though markedly better than whatever they tried to do with 8.

I think that your second sentence is an important qualification. I almost wished that they'd stuck with the name, just to emphasise that a bunch of terrorist asshats don't get to dictate what words others can use; I think that such a useage would have been (very mildly) heroic rather than offensive.

The history of the 2-syllable word "loli" to refer to prepubescence is pretty interesting. Of course, it began as the Lolita of Nabokov's book. Some decades later, Japanese street fashion then co-opted this term to refer to a coquettish fashion style with Victorian motifs; for an analogy you might consider it similar to how steampunk wears and reinterprets the outward look of mechanical automatons.

I don't quite get the original choice of naming outside of perhaps the lack of awareness of cultural subtleties and connotations that underlie cultural appropriation, but it is apt, since choosing to dress in such a way is a voluntary choice to want to be seen and viewed as a (perfect) and very youthful doll more as something to be admired from a distance than to be interacted with—perhaps the notion of sexual immaturity was seen to reinforce Victorian prudishness and vice versa. The way things get verbally abbreviated in Japanese is that they tend to be abbreviated into abbreviations of 2-mora or 4-mora, roughly corresponding to 2 syllables or 4 syllables. Hence Lolita was quickly abbreviated to loli in casual speak.

From there, the usage of the word loli further evolved in Japanese anime-related media. "loli" probably started off as a not-very-common archetype of female character who looked like the idealized lolita dresser—a doll-like prepubescent person with "refined" manners. Perhaps with influence from the original meaning of Lolita, at some point loli was generalized into the (by now common) prepubescent female character archetype in anime-related media, regardless of whether or not the Victorian-motifed dresses accompanied it.

Right. I'm looking at it not from an economics perspective, but from a humanitarian perspective. As much as possible, we should be trying to eliminate drudgery and misery from the human condition.

I remember watching a documentary about a sulfur mine in southeast Asia. The average life expectancy for miners there was something like 2-5 years. It's crazy to me that anyone would even take that job, but:

A. The miners probably didn't know the life expectancy
B. The miners didn't have much of an alternative
C. The society viewed (views?) them as expendable

I think this is an excellent illustration of an area where automation needs to be done, but market forces won't encourage it. The labor is just too cheap. But just because the economics doesn't work, it doesn't mean we shouldn't do it.

Economics shouldn't be the only consideration.
You'd hope they would simplify their systems, but instead they just throw it into higher risk pools and raise prices for everyone to cover the non-payments.
SICP (w/ Brian Harvey's CS61A lectures) influenced how I approach abstraction _a lot_. Its "baby brother" _How to Design Programs_, with its design recipe approach, ingrained testing and iterative refinement in me early on.

_Head First Design Patterns_ is a great influence too when it comes to OO-abstraction, for good and bad.

Re the liberal bias definition, this entire comments section has made me feel like this.

Liberal bias is thrown at media outlets that basically do no economic or deep policy coverage in the first place. How do you detect CNNs liberal bias between two pieces on shark week??

And it's total overton window BS too. Loads of NPR listeners will be like "yeeeeees of course there's liberal bias on NPR" but Fox News / Breitbartsters treat their stuff as some sort of objective truth.

I'm not seeing anything described in the article as "buying time" that couldn't also be described as "buying the right to order someone else around" aka "delegating". Surely the most direct way of buying time is by taking a pay cut in exchange for more time off, or even taking unpaid time off. It occurs to me there may be a good proxy for this in comparing similar tech jobs in the US vs the EU / UK. The latter pay less, but receive substantially more time off.
