To me, you are being curious not ridiculous. The idea of using Haskell as an interactive shell seems like a great learning exercise and worth pushing as far as you are willing to go. Even if from a practical standpoint, rewriting the entire *nix stack in Haskell is probably more than a lifetime's work.

Technically, to me recreating Bash in Haskell to swim in the Turing Tarpit. [1] Some programming languages are mostly ready to serve as an operating system shell, e.g. Common Lisp (Lisp machines), Smalltalk, Erlang, or QBasic. [2] Others are not because there is a difference between the abstraction of an interpreter and the abstraction of a shell. One of them is session duration.

The interpreter abstraction tends toward: starting the interpreter from a shell, running a sequence of commands, exiting to the shell. The shell abstraction tends toward starting (perhaps recursively from another shell) and possibly running indefinitely until crashing or the heat death of the universe whichever comes first. SSH is a great example of the recursive and indefinite temporal extent of shells. Python's global interpreter lock is a reasonable example of the interpreter abstraction.

Good luck.

Let us also recognize that Russia is just one of hundreds of interests that are trying to influence conversation online, not discounting several factions in the US government.

It is very easy to spot them, especially on platforms like Twitter where they spread obvious, blatant lies. No one is immune, especially with disinformation campaigns being waged by domestic parties, corporate interests, PR firms.

It has always been a reality that the internet attracts misinformation and conspiracy, even more so in the past than now. And yet, we continue to evolve from a technology that doesn't allow for us to distinguish fantasy from reality.

> I have six years worth of unspent laptop money.

I bought a used W520 a couple years ago because I couldn't find a system with a keyboard like this.

I think it's too early for people to be so negative. If a few months from now this edition flops because it didn't go all out, then okay, but we're not there yet.

While it doesn't have everything, I'm staring at a picture of a laptop made in 2017 with a keyboard that matches this 2011 machine.

Maybe if this sells out quickly we'll see more iterations in the direction that Thinkpad "retro" fans want.

I think the distinction here is not about limiting corporations but about basic human issue of freedom (more specifically of "feeling of freedom"; unlimited freedom is out of reach even for the richest/most powerful humans). As official media are losing their raison d'être, i.e. medial control of population due to alternatives provided by self-inhibited freedom on the Internet, allowing all kinds of ridiculous information to pop up, the usual approach is to inhibit access to unapproved information sources, reinforcing the feeling of having one's freedom attacked via censorship. Word of mouth was always ridiculous, a sewer with a few pearls here and there, it was always there though... Obviously, corporations in favor of "feeling of freedom" would lose a lot where it matters, in popularity. To me it seems like the quality of "story tellers", conjuring believable lies as was the case in the past, went dramatically down and population overcame that paradigm and can't be fooled with them anymore. Trying to shove population back to ancient approaches won't work; new, smarter stories need to be invented for people to believe in. Anyone up to the task?
How is this obscure, and why do they have to mention it's a "BUG"? This is a support article for how to fix the issue. There's no reason why the article needs to say "Hey this is a bug", because the whole reason the support article exists is because of the bug.
The attitude is strange with vending machines and other cultures. I saw a vending machine selling 20oz and 1.5l (I think?) bottles of coke for the same price. In America, that would be unheard of, why would anyone buy the 20oz bottle. But in Japan, it seemed like many people just bought what they needed.
As magnificent as the Apollo program was, and the Saturn V in particular, it was an incredibly expensive and complex launch system, unsustainably so.

Additionally, even if you did want to recreate a Saturn V, the designs themselves aren't going to get you very far. Most of the tooling has been lost likely along with much of the institutional know how, especially on the technician side of things. I'd be very surprised if you could recreate a functioning Saturn V for a lower cost than designing an entirely new launch system.
Fascinating, I wouldn’t have expected that. I’m sure it depends on the family, too—my parents read with me from a young age, and I liked it, so I learned quickly.

In retrospect, 3 was a big year for me, haha. I remember going from not being able to read, to my parents finding out that I could read on my own (when they discovered me reading aloud the opening of Legend of Zelda for the NES) to reading proficiently by myself (thanks, Dr. Seuss!)

And at 4, I remember being very surprised when I went to kindergarten, and some of the kids made me read things for them because they couldn’t yet. I thought they must have been joking or making fun of me at first, but it turns out my parents are just great.

"But those 87 people know and talk to 100 other people each,that's 10% of the city. Go two degrees of separation and it's the whole town."

While it's true that each of the people at these tiny gatherings probably know and talk to at least 10 people each, and those people talk to another 10 people each, that doesn't mean that they're talking about philosophy or skepticism. Most people just don't want to hear about either of those subjects, or anything else intellectual.

> I remember the early days of slashdot fondly, although I didn't actually make an account until a few years later.

I still consider my mid 4-digits slashdot id a mark of pride. It's also a great regret that I had spent a significant amount of time on the site before a friend convinced me to finally register an account. I'm pretty sure I could have been in the 3 digit club.

I too remember slashdot fondly, but the webbernets are a very different place today—more fractured, self-selected into groups, more appealing to the masses, less wild west freedom.
Slashdot got a surprisingly large amount of stuff right, amazing considering it was one of the pioneering web-based discussion systems.

- You cannot both moderate and comment on the same article.

- Limited moderation points (too limited on Slashdot arguably, but better than infinite up/down votes).

- They didn't have up/down, but a system of "Interesting", "Informative", "Off-Topic" and a few others. These are the same as up/down votes in the end, but make you classify postings.

- Set threshold to (say) 3 and quickly see only the +3 interesting comments on an article.

- Meta-moderation didn't work well, but was an interesting idea.

I don't think it is fair to say the code quality is low. There are a lot of complex concepts in the optimizer and the community is always working to add tooling and documentation to make it easier for newer developers.

There are some organizational quirks to how the code is written. It has been around for a long time, so it still has some design elements from working within older Java versions. Like many projects it is reliant on integration tests, likely more than would be desirable.

As far as the wider Apache ecosystem, I know there are projects that get by with pretty low code quality. Unfortunately there aren't many central voices at Apache enforcing specific policies around how codebases are managed, they are more focused on community development. I think they may be better off trying to take a closer look at codebases during incubation. Then again, there is no excess of resources waiting around to review code, and a lot of budding communities that want to take part.

Moving to 6 cores required different power delivery, so they needed a new socket. It just happens to have the same number of pins as the old CPU. I would be willing to bet the number of people who want upgrade their CPUs and currently have a Kaby Lake CPU would number in the tens of thousands. Engineering around that number of people would be nuts.

Ask HN: Do You Like Facebook Safety Check?
If the article contains the words 'cyber' you can pretty much be assured they've got plenty of 'authoritative' government sources who are inherently anti-Russian. From my experience it's certainly not new, even for WSJ.

I've read plenty of non-fiction espionage books and it's a safe bet to expect the American ones to be dripping with Russian paranoia. Warranted or not. They never gave that up after the cold-war, unlike the public. And non-technical journalists rely heavily on their sources expertise, more so than most subjects.

While we're on the subject of Japanese vending machines, how do they implement the IC card scanning feature? Does it need to be connected to a special network or is the logic all done on the card? I'm specifically talking about the payment verification and logic. I have one in my office that accepts IC card payment and I'm not quite sure what is required for that to work.
Using Ethereum means that everyone can agree on the state of the system without needing to place trust in any central authorities. You don't have to trust whoever is running the service to not accidentally or maliciously change the data or force a change in the software. You don't have to worry about the service going down (business says they're pivoting / gets bought out) and arguments about multiple different members setting up new accounts at different services claiming theirs is the true one that everyone should use (putting that member effectively in charge). The Ethereum blockchain provides a durable recording of the organization state.

I'm not familiar with Colony at all, but if the above are possible concerns -- that you need durable consensus between individuals without enshrining any of them as fully trusted -- and especially if you want to manage money/value too -- then using Ethereum is a good fit.

I agree that blockchains seem to be a buzzword that are shoehorned more than necessary, but depending on Colony's goals then they may be the actual target market for Ethereum.

Well, PR is not a different country. Puerto Ricans are Americans. When they live in PR they pay "state" taxes to PR. But if they are living in NY then they will pay NY state taxes, not PR "state" taxes.
My comment was in response to specifically your questioning implying it was very obvious Russia is at war with the entire world for said reasons.

I pointed out USA has done similar things Russia has done/being accused of (And it's not just decades ago, funding of terrorists, undermining regimes is still ongoing today. By USA Russia and many other nations).

At the same time, I am NOT saying tit for tat means problem resolved... You are taking it to extremes implying something I did not say.

Your comment doesn't advance the discussion either if u want to be a stickler with the "isn't it obvious, what else do you need" type of response I was replying to when: no it isn't obvious, and your statements are not clear indicator of that as much can be said about other nations including USA.

> Agile gives the programmer a voice in the process, and once they update the tasks and time estimates, the feature's priority can be re-evaluated.

You couldn't be more wrong on this one. Managers love their power and they don't give it away to programmers no matter what.

In 15 years of career I've never seen a manager treat a programmer as a decision maker, not even once. And I suspect that's a biiiiiit more than "anecdotal evidence".

What usually happens is:

- "Why did this estimate change from 2 days to 3 weeks?"

- "Are you sure you're doing this right?" (coming from a non-technical manager)

- "Let me stop you right there. We heard your concerns but you overplay their importance." (that I can agree with sometimes)

- "This feature is important. Reduce your estimate, it doesn't look good to the people above us."

...etc. to infinity.

Agile is not, and never was, a magic bullet. It's kind of like some economical systems that only existed on paper -- sounds perfect in theory, is never implemented well (or fully) in practice.

Ask HN: How do digital currencies differ from card points?

Not trolling, but why would any developer need a service like this? Isn't that what Mocking frameworks and Interfaces (Interface driven design) are for?

Ex: I would create an interface called IMailService with the operations like Send etc, and once my application is ready, just swap the concrete implementation of the MailService class with the one that talks to the real mail service using Dependency Injection.

If it's not for developers, who would use something like this?
Dover Microsystems Launches CoreGuard
Our media and our government lied to generate a case for war. And I feel lately that they are now trying to build a case for some sort of conflict, presumably cold, against Russia

Our current president has never had a critical thought enter his mind and not have it escape his lips, or his tweeting fingertips – yet Russia (and Putin in particular) have never been in his crosshairs. I think that this fact directly contradicts your hypothesis. Then there is also the mysterious change to the GOP platform around the time of the convention.
It's not just the parents. Some kids just don't take to it. My wife and I are both voracious readers, we read to our kids every day, and our 7-year-old is just not that into reading yet.

Occam’s Razor:

A 25 day old anonymous HN acct is controlled by a shill attempting to deflect attention in readers minds (which we know Russia does along with every other nation state)

Or

WSJ made the whole thing about Russia hacking computers up, which really we already know their intel community does, just like every other nation states

Occams Razor again:

Google, Equifax, Yahoo, NSA are incompetents with technology as they have all suffered data breaches recently (waymo+uber is a breach in the same sense the NSA contractor took home data they were vetted to access and it was used outside its scope of access)

Or

We’re suffering a mass delusion driven by marketing and fear that perfect security is possible, just these very good tech groups sucked at it (of course no one out there benefits from the public doubting these groups abilities right?)

Given humans long history of buying in to mass delusions (religion, nationalism, what brands one buys matters), Occam’s razor seems clear on this
Applied Data Science: Solving a Predictive Maintenance Business Problem
I'm well aware of previous incidents, which is my basis for why GitHub is the platform that can cause so much damage to the Chinese government. We both seem to agree that China is very dependent on GitHub (perhaps the only western website they still rely on) and the economic damage of being forced to block it would be astronomical.

What I suggested and GreatFire is miles apart. Moreover, I'm not saying that throwing up some wikipedia articles about Tiananmen, Chairman Mao, etc. will result in China being forced to block GitHub or attack you. The path to success is to have the repo spread to tens of millions of Chinese locals. Regular people, not just the tech savvy that knows what a VPN is. It certainly won't be easy, especially considering they can easily shadowblock all links to the repo, the name of the repo, a picture with a link/QR, etc.

By the way, people have already been and continue to be tracked down and attacked for doing these kinds of things (a notably incident that reached the front page of HN: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10101469), so no, the assumption that people will be attacked for doing this is most definitely not wrong.

Peter Thiel implicated in investigative piece about white nationalism
https://www.buzzfeed.com/josephbernstein/heres-how-breitbart-and-milo-smuggled-white-nationalism

Buzzfeed has published a (maybe suprisingly) well-researched, hard-hitting piece of journalism titled "Here's How Breitbart And Milo Smuggled Nazi and White Nationalist Ideas Into The Mainstream", and it casts Peter Thiel in a less-than-favorable light.

------------

From the article:
'Yiannopoulos also had a private relationship with the venture capitalist Peter Thiel, though he was more circumspect than some other correspondents. . . .

In an email exchange shortly after the election, Yarvin told Yiannopoulos that he had been “coaching Thiel.”

“Peter needs guidance on politics for sure,” Yiannopoulos responded.

“Less than you might think!” Yarvin wrote back. “I watched the election at his house, I think my hangover lasted into Tuesday. He’s fully enlightened, just plays it very carefully.” '
It seems like there should be a carrier parked off the island providing relief. Those things are freaking cities, complete with state-of-the-art trauma centers and heavy logistics support. It's what the US does when there are massive tsunamis or similar in other parts of the world.

And don't tell me that the army's engineering corps can't spare a bunch of trucks, half-tracks, bulldozers, mobile bridges, etc. That and preparing for/preventing natural disasters is practically what the army's engineering corps exists for, domestically. The US army holds its place in the world because of its astonishing ability to provide extensive logistical support anywhere, anywhen. But we apparently can't manage basic distribution in our own home when the roads get swamped?

The power on the inside is more of a effective deterrent and great asset than a deficit for the DoD.

Economically how it works is that the DoD secures assets and locations around the world relating to the means of production of consumer components. American interests, especially the interests of the American consumer are definitely protected and represented for.

Where this model has failed for us is put a huge deficit in our self reliance with regards to consumer production. Due to globalization, American politicians have no urgent need to educate the workforce more than they already have, they can provide security and investment to produce a source of worldwide talent, all thanks to the contractors playing their crucial role in the ecosystem of American security.

What people fail to understand is that no organization or system is perfect. The DoD isn't organized for the new kinds of warfare being performed. The main job of the DoD is to protect American interests abroad, not operate in the background on American soil against hundreds, thousands of nation-state and criminal organizations.

The FBI does this job, they successfully work with hundreds of private contractors. You'd be surprised by the scale on which they are resourceful and helpful.
