Everything is paid by some cash, coming from someone. No teacher nor doctor works for free, running building cost millions on its own, equipment, especially in healthcare can be super expensive etc.

Either you pay it on your own (unaffordable to most people), there is some share/capping system, or all is somehow covered, with unavoidable restrictions, due to.. cash.

Education is investment in the future of the nation and raising its prosperity. Healthcare is investment in the current state (greatly simplified of course). US has the worst possible combination from developed world for most of its citizens for example.

You can compare the systems easily, all data are out there. Just try not to fall into the usual easy trap of 'I am young and healthy, I don't need doctors now, don't want to contribute to the system' - we all are one mistake, quite often not ours, or some DNA mishap, away from ending up completely reliant on these systems, maybe for rest of our lives.

We form society, so stronger and better-off cover for/take care of momentarily weaker members. If we fail at that, we go below what many animals achieved and on big enough scale we all as humanity lose. (there needs to be enough reward those of us that work their ass off to be successful of course, and striking balance between those 2 is the source all the left/right discussion over last 150 years. but complete lack of solidarity is a net loss for us all).

Amazon HQ2 finalists should refuse tax breaks, say nearly 100 economists
> I hear your waiters have slave wages, that's why they depend that much on tips.

Waiters make quite a lot of money off of tips. They actually have been upset with the changes in places like California that "raise" their base salary to minimum wage, because it results in a lower take-home pay overall.
and 10x that because you caused global warming
Related beef: Apple wants me to update something on MacOS, and the pops a notification with the options "Install Now" and "Details" - meaning "Yes" or "Tell me more!"

What about "No" and "Not right now"?
The latter is actually forbidden per the App Store guidelines:

4.5.3 Do not use Apple Services to spam, phish, or send unsolicited messages to customers, including Game Center, Push Notifications, etc. Do not attempt to reverse lookup, trace, relate, associate, mine, harvest, or otherwise exploit Player IDs, aliases, or other information obtained through Game Center, or you will be removed from the Developer Program.

4.5.4 Push Notifications must not be required for the app to function, and should not be used for advertising, promotions, or direct marketing purposes or to send sensitive personal or confidential information.

With the apparent volatility that Bitcoin has, how will they decide when to cash that out? Any amount is obviously good for the FSF but maximizing the donation may be a bit tricky with the current markets.
Both extremes (preserving backwards compatibility at the cost of maintainability/complexity, and abandoning back compat at the cost of existing code breakage) are bad. One may be worse than the other, but they're both bad options. The minimum-pain solution is somewhere in the middle.
I don't know what the point of mentioning that "nothing the government does is free" is about. We all know that nothing is free, it's a concise way of saying the government (our taxes) pays for it. Is there a more accurate and concise way of getting across this kind of policy?
"No other reason"? What kind of total eclipse of the senses is that? The man is unfit for public service; no, does not even know the meaning of those words. A low-intellect real estate dealer from New York is among the very, very last people on earth to be permitted the office and the power he wields. Those of us constantly panicking (for a score of months now) do so for such obvious reasons - the stream of illegal/corrupt messages spewing forth at America daily from what should be the most sober, deliberate speaker in the nation.

If we're suffering from some kind of potus-ptsd, perhaps there's a reason.

I definitely hit this. Perhaps a size update would help, but I also feel that there should be a slight invulnerability period so to say where taps on it do nothing for half a second. Not noticeable for most intended use cases, but provides a less agonizing context switching experience.
It's a shame that companies like Google, Facebook, Amazon and others who have benefited so much from the work of organizations like the FSF don't pony up. These companies are notably absent from the current list of patrons[1].

Another annoying failure mode is when you notice a notification and go to dismiss it ... just as it disappears and now you're accidentally phoning someone at 3am via WhatsApp/Viber/Messenger.
You used Delphi, not Object Pascal.

Object Pascal was created by Apple for Lisa and Mac OS, with collaboration from Niklaus Wirth.

Borland then adopted it to Turbo Pascal 5.5 for MS-DOS.

Turbo Pascal 6.0 and 7.0 for MS-DOS, followed by Turbo Pascal 1.0 and 1.5 for Windows 3.x took up ideas from C++.

Borland then rebooted Turbo Pascal with Delphi, but to avoid creating too much confusion among Pascal developers, they kept calling their dialect Object Pascal, even though they completly rebooted the object model.

This is how you declare objects in Object Pascal.

type
PTPoint = ^TPoint;
TPoint = object
x: Integer;
y: Integer;
end;

var
valuePointOnGlobalMemory: TPoint;
valuePointOnTheHeap: PTPoint;

begin
{Can use it right away}
valuePointOnGlobalMemory.x := 10;
valuePointOnGlobalMemory.y := 20;

{Need to heap allocate first}
New(valuePointOnTheHeap);
valuePointOnTheHeap^.x := 10;
valuePointOnTheHeap^.y := 20;
Dispose(valuePointOnTheHeap);

{....}
end.

Easy to test with Free Pascal using Turbo Pascal compatibility mode.
Thanks. That's good information. That being said, if someone is injured or so out of shape that burpees would put too much pressure on their back, I imagine that normal exercise theory should not apply to them. I suppose they need to go through physiotherapy or rehab before they can partake in normal exercise. If we want to include them in the discussion, then I fear that's moving the goalposts, no?

For your herniated disk, hope it gets better, whether through back surgery, a chiropractor, or a physiotherapist. Best of luck.
Ideally if you are copying a brain, you are going to copy the I/O schema (spine connecting to a "body", eyes, ears, nose, mouth, ect). When you run a brain as a computer program you don't want a disembodied mind, you want a person who "really-is" in a VR environment.
There's someone working on a rust implementation at the moment. I can't find a link to the repository just now, but there's plenty of threads on it if you search 'rust' at the top right of patchwork (after installing and adding a pub.)

I'll find the repo and reply to this thread when I'm home later :)

There were some previous efforts towards a Go implementation, but I'm not sure how far along they got: https://github.com/maackle/ssb-igo

There's something very contrary about expecting payment/compensation for FSF software. "Its free! Except if its useful; then it should cost you money!" That's a strange guilt-trip.

I understand the impulse though. We all believe our hard work at creating something of value should be compensated. But it flies in the face of the 'free software' ideology. Which is why I don't endorse open projects at all.

Or don't I understand the FSF at all? That's possible.

> The suggestion is that unions need not continue to exist just because they take credit for accomplishing something in the past. And then you say, "Oh yeah, well they can be credited with accomplishing something in the past." Okay. We've gone in a circle now.

The best part is that you can point out all of the really horrible and repulsive things those same unions did at the same time - like lobbying to strip non-white Americans of citizenship and pushing the government to round them up in internment camps - and somehow they don't have to take responsibility for that part of their history as well.

To answer the baity headline:

You can use LibreOffice Draw to edit PDFs, yes actually, and obviously for free.
Rather than a resize or a timer, I'd prefer to see the tappable area changed to exclude the most commonly used hot spots on the screen, such as the top left and right corner.

It could also detect when there is a tappable element under the tap-sensitive middle of the notification, and introduce a short delay only in those cases.

If there was to be a delay, 0.5 seconds sounds way too long. More like 0.2 - 0.3 would be good, and in the meantime (during the delay) the banner could pass the taps through to whatever element was visible before the notification came along.

As SMBC put it - is philosophy valuable? Yes, every day, a thousand times. Is a philosophy credential valuable? No.
This is a rather general problem, and here's my general solution:

Currently(0), we use the same virtual grid for visual layout as for mouse/touch interactions. If there's a box displayed visually, then there's a corresponding box that's available to receive clicks. If that box moves 100px down the screen, then the click-receiving box also moves 100px down the screen immediately. If you clicked the original box's location just as it moves, the computer replies with something like, "hey idiot, why did you just click empty space?" Why can't the computer be a little less of a bully and recognize the intent of the user by looking into the past a little to see what the user tried to click?

Instead of keeping these grids in lock step with one another, the click/touch-receiving grid should be delayed by 10-200+ milliseconds (and tunable -- esports players on one end and elderly/disabled folks on the other). This grid from the past is actually what you intended to click.

Back to the example above, if you click the box just as it moves, the click is now checked against this slightly-old grid instead of the current (suddenly changed) visual location of the box, and the computer correctly detects that the click was aimed at the box.

0: in any system I've worked on; I imagine some system has tried to make this better, though?
OP said this could be a way to address fake news, and I agree, but there is a component missing.

What is needed is a system on a chip that immediately encrypts, signs and uploads any image (or video or audio) shot from the camera to a distributed public record, like a blockchain or IPFS. That gets you a creation timestamp and an unaltered source image that can be verified later if the author releases the decryption key.

Without having a SoC doing everything at once, any image that gets encrypted is already suspect. I’ll be surprised if devices like this don’t start appearing over the next few years, either for adoption by journalists or forced onto police. Apple is in a good position to do this with their devices, since their t2 chip is already managing authentication and the camera + microphone.
What does double points for same gender mean. Does that mean you get a doubling of the effect from one gender at the expenses of the other. Is that better or worse?
Even as part of the minority that use window managers on linux I find the idea of merely using the window manager exclusively in place of other forms of UI for multiple documents/pages/buffers within a gui app as fantastically underwhelming.

Lets look at firefox as an example. The fact that a vertical tabbar is more useful in this case due to screen shape and size and it being useful to be able to read a bit more of the text when you have a lot of tabs. This could in theory by done by your wm even though I've not seen one that does. Further tree style tabs shows a visual hierarchy of sorts that can't be replicated by your wm because it doesn't know what link was opened from what. Further you can perform operations on groups of tabs, like closing them, bookmarking them, reloading them. Its difficult to see how your wm could infer this hierarchy and how it could allow application specific operations like bookmarking even if it could. Further its useful to sometimes open a number of links in the background before switching to any of the above. This is trivially effected within the browser but challenging outside of it because the action of opening a link happens inside the browser.

Within my irc client various channels are arranged according to network and color coded according to activity. Right clicking on individual channels or networks allows specific actions regarding those networks or channels. None of the above would work with a bunch of stacked/tabbed windows.

I could make a list for emacs but the complaint is the same wm ends up being an unfixably poorer alternative to dealing with multiple documents in the app.

I use i3wm not because its awesome at managing multiple documents but because its simple and straightforward and 90% of workspaces, which span only a single monitor, have only 1-2 windows on them. Rarely 3 or 4 and never more.

Window managers are just unfixably mediocre in this respect because the UI doesn't have access to context and can't differ based on use.
> Win32 or the interfacing is not seamless

Well then Rust, D, Swift, Go, Rust, Haskell, OCaml are not native by that measure.

Ask HN: Show HN links ranking?
Hi there,

I am a bit puzzled about how the Show HN page works. It doesn't show a link that I've posted today and that has a few upvotes, but it displays a bunch of 2-point links from throaway accounts that have been posted several hours ago.

How does this work?
Not to mention the availability of vastly more suitable communication channels. I recall American news media giving a similar justification for not showing video statements by Al Qaeda. It was certainly realistic to expect that Al Qaeda would engage in communications with malicious effect, but it seems like quite a stretch that they'd rely on CNN to be their C&C channel. Maybe it hadn't quite sunk in at that point that the Internet extends well beyond the US.

> I'm interested to hear examples of what you call 'profusion of edge cases'.

For one example, look at the profusion of cases in type deduction, depending on whether one is dealing with a value, an array, a pointer, or one of two different references, and whether qualified as const or volatile.

One might argue that these cases are too prevalent to be called 'corner' cases, but that doesn't exactly help! In C++11 and C++14 there was the indisputable corner case where auto and template type deduction differed with regard to braced initializer lists, though in a rare case of backwards-compatibility-breaking, it has now been fixed [1].

Scott Meyers, for one, has given examples of particular cases in the use of braced initialization, especially in the context of templates, that can be considered corner cases in that they are probably not likely to arise very often in most of the C++ code that is being written for applications.

“Why we are hiring Angular Experts” – It's not the intern's fault
Why assume it is against publishers' interests for people to control how they expose their own identity? Advertisers, sure, but publishers? I see privacy as being more orthogonal to their interests than directly against them.

Nevertheless, you're probably right about the business model. I was piggybacking on the idealism of the article we're commenting on. It's fun to just discuss possible futures without worrying about viability once in a while.

Lest we think that “eat the rich!” is a particularly new critique of states which fail to address the needs of their citizens:

WHAT keeps you from giving now? Isn't the poor person there? Aren't your own warehouses full? Isn't the reward promised? The command is clear: the hungry person is dying now, the naked person is freezing now, the person in debt is beaten now-and you want to wait until tomorrow? "I'm not doing any harm," you say. "I just want to keep what I own, that's all." You own! You are like someone who sits down in a theater and keeps everyone else away, saying that what is there for everyone's use is your own. . . . If everyone took only what they needed and gave the rest to those in need, there would be no such thing as rich and poor. After all, didn't you come into life naked, and won't you return naked to the earth?

The bread in your cupboard belongs to the hungry person; the coat hanging unused in your closet belongs to the person who needs it; the shoes rotting in your closet belong to the person with no shoes; the money which you put in the bank belongs to the poor. You do wrong to everyone you could help, but fail to help.
--Basil, 4th century

THE large rooms of which you are so proud are in fact your shame. They are big enough to hold crowds-and also big enough to shut out the voice of the poor. . . . There is your sister or brother, naked, crying! And you stand confused over the choice of an attractive floor covering.

If we want to be philosophical then answer is very simple. The money comes from people who want to buy bitcoins.

Then we can ask why people want to buy bitcoins and the answer get a bit more complex but usefully branches into two areas. People want to either speculate (gamble) that the coins will increase in value because they think others also think that the value will increase and thus it will, or they want to buy the bitcoins because it enables them to buy objects for which bitcoins serves as value tokens.

Which in turn leads us to ask about the nature of value tokens. Why do we use them, the history, intrinsic values, and so on.
Well... Those two go together. They have those endowments largely due to such generous donations.
Free Software means free as in speech not free as in beer.
I really hate the term "fake news". It implies that someone created the whole story on purpose to deceive people. I think the "bad UI" thing was just someone trying to figure out what really happened and noticed that the webpage for the alerts was atrocious. They incorrectly thought that this could have been the reason for the mistake. By no means was it fake, rather it was simply a mistake. There's nothing malicious about that.
You may be confused about the use of the term "free" in this context. It isn't about giving stuff away for $0 in compensation, it's about freedom in the sense of liberty and freedom to modify software you own.

The old keyboard shortcuts work in the new Office but how do I learn the shortcuts for the Ribbon?

Everything takes me twice as long to a) find it on the ribbon according to the incoherent positioning of items, and b) to navigate the tiny needless dropdown menus.

I have to hunt around by picture and unevenly-spaced icons (every button is a different size to its neighbor) and cannot navigate it by keyboard. The ribbon is truly a giant step backwards in usability.

I utterly detest it and welcome any opportunity to use an old version of Office 2003.
