There is a vast difference between "making things possible" and "making life easier". Same as between a spaceship and a remote TV control. I'd even go as far as to say, that such consumer-oriented interpretation of the role of technology is one of the reasons, why the world is such a mess in 2017.

I actually quit my job for one project I did 5 nights on, so it was sort of a life and death situation (or so I thought).

This doesn't mean anything, to me. I just read "Windows 10 Mobile as a standalone OS is going away." Remember that Windows OneCore is a thing, and that Windows on Arm is a thing. They are eliminating all the "one-off" operating systems and consolidating all of the features into OneCore.

I am not pining for Windows Mobile (despite owning several throughout the past decade) I just think that Windows OneCore will make Windows available on phones again if Microsoft ever have a good reason to enter the mobile market again.

No, but if your tests are good, they'll catch bugs and especially regressions that would otherwise make it to production. Of course there's a balance to be struck, but it's approximately as sensible to devote zero resources here as infinite.

On the other hand, good review would much more likely have caught a bug like this than good tests would. "Why are you passing the password as the password hint?" Simple as that.

Again, there's a balance to be struck, and I don't claim code review is a panacea. But I do think it's a very worthwhile, and in the general case necessary, part of an engineering culture strongly oriented toward reliability.

For me marijuana isn't so much about pain relief as pain distraction.

Allow me to get a little metaphorical about my chronic pain. Personally I don't think the major pain relief component of marijuana has much to do with physical reality. When you're a chronic pain sufferer your mind starts to expect pain and you build an entire world of psychological expectation around your pain. What marijuana does is it forces your mind to wander away from what it thinks it should be thinking about.

So in short what I'm saying is marijuana makes you forget you suffer from pain. I think it has something to do with how in clinical studies it's proven that marijuana has an impact on short term memory.

I was working in Microsoft about 5 years ago and Satya's not lying when they say they tried everything to incentivise app developers. It was a big focus of the company at the time. For keystone apps they tried to partner with developers doing most of the work for them. For more niche apps they ran promotions for students and independent developers giving away free phones etc. But nothing was enough to get over the problem of the lack of an initial user base.

Most Windows phone owners I know (myself included) loved the design (hardware and software), the customisability, etc. but the lack of apps ultimately made us move to another ecosystem.

Tips for speeding up Gradle builds for Android
This is why the latest tool I did for Windows still was based on WinForms. Because you know the old crappy stuff will be supported forever and the new shiny better stuff (WPF was pretty cool!) will be deprecated within two years and probably will not get significant developer traction. With a lot of confusing marketing from Microsoft. I don't think even the guru's within Microsoft itself can sum up all the different .Net versions that are out there and what they mean from the top of their heads.
So, standard traffic correlation/timing attack. I hope that's all it is.

Back when Microsoft started started throwing in the towel and put their phones on fire sale I loaded up on $30 Lumia 640's (how could you not at that price for a 5" LTE in 2015?)

They've served me and my family well since. The lack of apps has a flip side... I'm not terrible worried about malware. ;) And I'm not worried about my kids getting too distracted by all the games, etc available on iOS/Android.
So the lesson here is, it’s a good idea to try to have your GUI and command line use the same code paths. Looks like they created a separate API in StorageKit just for Disk Utility and got sloppy with unit test.

Mozilla can do whatever defaults they want they'll just get overriden when I login to my Sync account unlike Chrome though my data is encrypted and mine not theirs.
One cool move on Microsoft's part can be releasing Microsoft's version of Android. The main problem is Google Play Services. But since MS almost has parallel offerings for all Google Services they can create an "API" compatible version of Google Play services. This way users will be able to install all the current Android applications which are available on Play Store.

This can convert Android into an Oligopoly instead of Google's Monopoly.

grep came, then ack-grep, then silver-searcher and a few others, finally ripgrep. For most purposes, ripgrep (the one written in Rust) is the best of all of these tools, typically being the fastest and also the most Unicode-compliant, with the main downside being its non-deterministic ordering of output (because it searches files in parallel).

The only reason for using ack these days is if you’re already invested in a Perl workflow and can use some of the Perl magic powers, and don’t care about comparatively poor performance. That’s not many people.

> Reasons I'm skeptical (perhaps you can address these):

1) Monero may have first mover advantage in the privacy realm, but at the cost of prunability. Grin not only avoids that cost but further improves prunability beyond bitcoin. To me the first mover advantage will always belong to bitcoin, which will likely adopt privacy improving features in the long term.

2+3) Indeed; when evidence appears of quantum computers becoming feasible at breaking EC crypto, current blockchains will need to adopt post-quantum crypto methods of signing transactions, and migrate existing balances. Since EC crypto is more heavily ingrained into Grin, it may have a much harder time than the more modular bitcoin design, or even find it impossible to do so. I'm not aware of any post-quantum equivalent to Pedersen commitments.
My hope is that quantum computer development runs into insurmountable barriers...

Ask HN: How do you author your eBooks in 2017?
Well, I updated my laptop a little bit ago and after a reboot I couldn't SSH into it from my workstation. The cause ended up being because I explicitly set "MACs" in sshd_config and still had hmac-ripemd160 (and -etm) in there.

Technically, yeah, I was inconvenienced but, meh, not really. It took all of three minutes to troubleshoot and fix and it was entirely my fault for not reading the changelog before upgrading first. Again, this was just a laptop and this would not have affected anything in production (I'm not sure if any other distros stay that up-to-date).

Yeah coding is a right choice, there is plenty of work in this field.

My advice is :
Pick a language (any language is good) most trendy currently for backend are : python, nodejs, ruby, java and follow a beginner course on this language.

It's just like if you wanted some-datepicker.js which depended on jquery1.1 but the rest of your code was jquery1.8

Polymer suffers from this because they are registering global custom element - just like when jquery registered itself as global $

React components does not register themselves anywhere so this problem does not exists at all.

It doesnt matter for google simply because they are not using anything else outside of google and everything is running from master, they really have one big "git-like" repository with all their projects and everything is always up-to-date (and it's a lot of work to not break anything)

This is precisely what I am forced to do and I do this very often when I have to setup my environment in a remote box I don't have root-login too. But this is by no means a trivial process compared to how easily we load a complex app into a browser tab just by clicking a URL.

I actually forgot why exactly I switch from rg to grep for binary files, but after some tests I found the use case grep can but ripgrep can NOT do:

$ grep FOO *
Binary file libBar.so matches
foo.txt:file with FOO in it

rg/rg -u/rg -uu/ ignore libBar.so completely, whereas rg -uuu spits out binary garbage.

Here grep's default behavior is what I expected: I want to know which binary files contain some symbol, details are less important (yes, I could use objdump or smarter tools, but grep is good enough 99% of the cases).

rg -u should list the matching binary file, maybe rg -uu should walk a few (printable!) chars to the left and right of the binary match and -uuu should just assume it is text, i.e. the user is right and the auto-guess wrong.

Coding is the right choice if you have a passion for it. If you don't have CS background, then for self-learning you will need a lot of dedication. Generally, for all popular languages, you will find free video tutorials on YouTube. If you don't mind paying a little, then Udemy also has very good set of tutorials. Be ready to put one solid year of effort into it though.

As a first step learn one language well. I would suggest one of:

1. Javascript:
Runs everywhere. You can make Mobile, Web and Backend applications in it.

2. C# and .Net Platform:
You can make Mobile, Web and Backend applications in it.

3. Java:
A solid choice for Backend and Android apps.

4. Python:
Good choice for backend and machine learning.

Ask HN: JavaScript framework that plays nice with bootstrap and jquery
I'm currently developing a typical CRUD app with bootstrap and various jquery libraries (datatables, select2...). My backend is ASP.Net MVC, which I love, and my frontend is pure jquery, which i don't. I'm using the revealing module pattern to organise the jquery and i'm following best practices, so the code is fairly clean. The only issue i'm having is maintaining a list of cached selectors and binding them all, creating lots of boilerplate, which is messy to modify.

I've worked with angular and i really like the data-driven approach, though angular doesn't play nice with jquery and you need another library on top of it to work with bootstrap, which is apparently feature incomplete. I've looked at vuejs, and because of the virtual DOM, it doesn't go well with libraries that manipulate the real DOM directly. The solution to this is to get modified vue-friendly versions of libraries, which is a road im not keen to go down. React seems like it has similar problems.

Is there any js framework that plays nice with bootstrap and jquery and would be better to work with than pure jquery?
Interesting but I doubt whether you really want to route /all/ your network traffic through Tor.

As soon as some packet that reaches the internet (through an exit node) that includes some identity information your Tor connection is no longer private. Routing all your traffic via Tor, increases the chance this will happen.

Also if many people use Tor for all their traffic, this will become a scalability problem for Tor (lack of exit nodes).
Try some MOOCs. There's "Python for everybody" specialization on Coursera, it's newbie-friendly but you get to build a little product that does something. IMO, that should be your first milestone - build something small that works and see how you feel about that. If you find it interesting, you can go for more courses and after some time you'll know where to go next, but if you're not really amused maybe you should give something else a try.

Probably you interpreted the word "design" with its narrower meaning of visual(ly-oriented) design, rather than, say architecting data-intensive applications.

As with another poster, Edward Tufte's books came to mind - though it's about visual presentation of information, not user interface/experience design.

I've also felt that there's an unmet demand for books that provide a thorough overview of UI/UX design patterns, especially the way this book (Designing Data-Intensive Applications) does for its domain.
