I ask this because honestly, I don’t know, and that’s kind of interesting. I’m in college now, and I want the basics: to have a good job, be married. But other than that, the future is kind of vague and uncertain. But that’s ok.
I'm also on a Inspiron 7000. My only complaint is the keyboard. No real Home/End/Page Up/Page Down really sucks, but you get used to it.

When I'm on my desk I use an external keyboard anyway.

Besides that, good performance and build quality, good screen, relatively lightweight and great battery life.
You can also borrow free universities (so people won't go bankrupt because of the cost of the education), common health care system (so people won't go bankrupt because of the health bills), and no common guns ownership (so you won't later force your kids to wear transparent backpacks - where is the kids' dignity in all that?).
Google's "anonimized IP" means setting the last octet to 0. At best that is a 256->1 grouping[1]. If you're the only person on your local class C network (x.y.z.0-255), your analytics uniquely map to your IP.

Google doesn't have to lie about how they handle IPs - they document how little anonymity they provide. Anybody claiming GA provides any real anonymity either didn't read the documentation[2] for that feature, or they are lying.

The camps are people's homes. That's the language issue when talking about "the homeless." It constrains our discussion of homes narrowly. We limit "home" to particular built structures, living arrangements, and cultural values.
And it's not particularly rare. To take one example, Curtis McMullen is both a Fields Medal winner and the thesis supervisor of another Fields Medal winner. He also happens to be Canadian (at least by birth).

> That sounds like a really hard problem to solve.

Yes, but we still have to solve it… or, at the very least, make a good effort to improve the situation.

Biology and chemistry already have systems around them to help limit any damage from, for example, smallpox research or mishandling chlorine triflouride, and they manage this without needing everyone to wear safety goggles when mixing yeast and water.
It's quite complicated (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bring_radical) ..amazing he derived it so long ago , long before the internet and modern research tools were invented. he had to scour for all that information and derive this solution.. even with the help of the internet I find it hard to understand
Agreed; That leads to the quick fix that may prevent a specific incarnation of a problem, but often it does nothing to advance mitigation against entire classes of problems. It often in fact increases technical debt. How someone approaches bug fixes is a good filter to separate the wheat from the chaff.
After moving to California six years ago, I was surprised to learn how many high school students have this plan -- a couple of years at a local community college and a transfer to one of the bigger Cal schools.
This was also my experience with the XPS15. Took a lot of struggle just for really basic hardware to start working properly on the ubuntu side, also extremely painful to install ubuntu itself and to have it recognize the XPS15's touchpad.

I would not spend 1400$ and 10-20 hours to configure the damn thing again, do not recommend.
No, they can’t. Both approaches are linear and sequential chains of cause/effect, which do not work with complex adaptive systems.

Sweet, ty! Staring at what was starting to look like a much larger python script than I'd anticipated, then realizing I could do it in 16 lines of (very basic) bash with csvfix + csvcut/sed/iconv was big day for me! Some of my fav code never written I think. Actually had most those files copied locally because was afraid the bytehost link would disappear.

That said, link to the manual in the bitbucket link not working.
Ask HN: Most compelling evidence of climate change?
I'm asking this here not because this is a climate change forum but because I think a lot of smart, introspective and skeptic individuals frequent HN.

The question is simple, what is the most compelling evidence that climate change is happening?

Alternatively if you have good evidence to believe that climate change is not happening please share it.

In any case please link to the source so we can validate your statement and let's keep the conversation friendly.

Ask HN: Are Parallela boards useful? Still made?
I was considering using a Parallela board (http://www.parallella.org/buy/) however I am a bit confused.

Is this project still active anymore?

I read reviews that the boards are flaky and hard to work with.

What are uses of the GPIO? I hear you basically need to buy the porcupine board to access the GPIO ports easily.

My thought is that I could use this board to work on some algorithmic trading ideas I have. It is portable, I can take it anyplace with me and SSH into it from my laptop. I could also build a small cluster to work on some math problems modeling, etc.

if you're not using an actual 3x5" filing system, or constructing stacks of cards - cutting heavy cardstock into longer thinner strips makes it smaller to carry and gives you four logical pages. as I get older and more absent minded its nice to have a reliable cache.

reasons I like paper better even though I have to carry my phone at all times

always faster

when the page i'm carrying is full I have to review it and chuck it. phone note apps for me tend to be write only

diagrams and sketches carry alot more meaning for me

no screwing around with menus for shading/font/line weight

just looking at the shape of the marks on the page brings an immediate recall, whereas with text I kind of have to read it and figure it out again

when I pull out my little card to write down to remember to buy socket head screws, I don't get derailed by my unread messages

the classic style has you keep your 3x5 notes as a permanent lab record, I can transcribe it into a notebook for that, this is just 'my day in scribbles'
No, and I would say that statement is laughably wrong.
Users install ad blockers to prevent annoying stupid things from monopolizing their time and space.

I briefly had a Razer Blade for development and returned it for several reasons, the top two being:

1. Enormous screen bezel, which made it silly to lug around a laptop with the screen real estate of one much smaller.

2. Without careful, tedious manual power management in linux the cooling fans routinely spin up to dust buster sound levels under normal use, which is unacceptable if you exist around other human beings.

The Surface Book 2 is an interesting option, but the linux support, while improving through community effort, is still spotty [1]. At the moment it has many power draw, heat, and noise issues. Also, everyone I know who has had a surface device has had to have it serviced or RMA'd at least once, which is not acceptable for something so expensive from such a large vendor.

A level floor doesn’t have influence on the table being flat?

Does the observer’s perspective being parallel with the table’s surface have anything to do with it?

When viewed through a microscope, is it “flat”?

1. Social websites don’t have to be giant, centralized communities too big to police themselves.

2. People need more tools to help them achieve things in the real world, rather than spending hours a day chatting about the real world online.

3. There are ways to make money online without ads begging you to click on them, and they involve real-world goods and services that your website can help connect people for?

What kind of world would it be that one minute spent online would result in hours of enjoyment out of the house?

Would you NEED to collect data on people in order to tailor ads to them, when the interface would enable them to express their own INTENT to spend money, which you can then help facilitate?

EDIT: downvoted heavily, what else is new. Yeah, clearly saying people want to achieve things in the real world deserves condemnation and scorn from anonymous downvoters, but no counterpoint is given.
>Frankly: Joe Coder isn't implementing a linked list in Rust

Not so sure about that. I wrote a parse tree transformer in Rust and wanted to write a mutable iterator for my parse tree. That requires unsafe code. So you don't have to be doing anything particularly esoteric to require a small amount of unsafe code. Writing a small amount of unsafe code is not the end of the world, of course. I am not saying that this is a major flaw in the language.

Re catching iterator invalidation at runtime, I should have said explicitly that I was not claiming that this is as good as catching it at compile time.

>It can't be done by a linting tool, because...

I meant that the functionality provided by the 'unsafe' keyword itself could be enforced by a linting tool. (E.g. any block that uses one of the unsafe operations must contain a comment saying 'unsafe code here'.) If this isn't the case, I must have some fundamental misunderstanding about what the unsafe keyword does. The Rust docs suggest that it simply enables a small number of unsafe operations such as pointer arithmetic.
If it's about a public figure (even a limited-purpose public figure), there's no problem because that speech is already highly protected against libel claims.

If it's basically just non-newsworthy information about private citizens, then I do not think they should be shielded from liability.
I don't think so - I think blocking goes for both annoying and dangerous ads, _and_ blocking trackers like facebook/google's invisible pixels. At least I run ublock origin, adguard, scriptsafe and privacy badger for maximum protection.

I recently migrated from a mid-2013 MBP, primarily because I was increasingly disgusted with the lack of control over my own system. I knew (more or less) what I was getting into when I bought it, but that choice grated as it needed work.

The battery had pretty much gone, and not only wasn't something I could fix, but the Apple stores I visited didn't carry the part. Turns out it's not just the glued-in battery, but they replace the entire top deck - keyboard, trackpad and all. I don't live near one of their stores, so it was going to be a multi-day commitment either way. Local authorized service place was able to get it done, except that the new battery caused the charging circuin (on the main board) to die. I had a choice to make.

I went with a Thinkpad P50 - not the thin, flat laptop at all, but a "mobile workstation." Great keyboard, display is good too (matte), and upgradeability in spades. One SIMM slot is a 16GB module, but there are still three others. Multiple drive bays, only one used. A battery I can replace without tools or delay, when that day comes.

I went with Linux Mint (Ubuntu-based), and it's been great. There's still a small Windows partition I left for a couple tools, but rarely use that part.
I've been working on my own version of "digital index cards", although of course being digital you're not strictly limited to 3x5" worth of content. It's a command-line Linux (or MacOS, I guess) tool written in Go.

The main motivation was to have a structured note-taking tool always at hand so I'd actually use it. For that reason, all the commands are as low-friction as I could make them: the program itself is called 'zk', and all the commonly-used commands are abbreviated to one character, so instead of "zk new" to make a new note, I say "zk n".

It's something I'm still playing with and tweaking, but I went ahead and pushed my latest changes to the repo at https://github.com/floren/zk so if anyone besides me finds it useful, so much the better. The README does an ok job of explaining usage, although it doesn't document the 'link' and 'unlink' commands yet because I'm not sure how much I like that concept. I apologize for the Go code being a little clunky and redundant in places, because I've been growing it organically.
Ask HN: What do you do to prevent your data from being leaked?
I've gotten pretty worried recently about data breaches. I cringe every time I need to sign up with my email/password for a new site. One obvious thing to do is use a password manager to generate random passwords for every website I sign up for, but is there a way to protect my email address from leaking out as well?
For me, when I talk about "root cause", what I mean is:

What is the most generic thing, that, if changed, would have prevented that problem?

Generic things are: Team setup, planning process, development process, choice of framework and programming languages, coding conventions, ...

Less generic things are: Database constraints, ORM validation, ...

Even less generic: Server side API validation, frontend validation, a frontend bug that caused a bad value to be submitted, ...

From this comparison it is clear that all levels of genericness have to be correct and need to be fixed if necessary. The question for the root cause simply encourages to follow the lead all the way up the chain of genericness.
If using index cards for memorizing, I think the Anki system can't be beat. Simple HTML/css formatting, tons of configuration options, plug in a .CSV with as many columns as you like and out the other end can come decks with cards configured in all sorts of wild ways.

So for example I have a Japanese learning deck with columns "word - Japanese", "example sentence - kanji", "example sentence - hurigana helper text (phonetic speller for characters I don't know)", "English definition for word", "English definition for sentence", "part of speech" , "commonality of word.".

So I can make decks sorted by commonality of words with English on front, or Japanese on front, to practice vocabulary. Or I can have one with English sentences on front to practice sentence building.

You can even attach media files, like audio.

And best of all, last I checked this is all free. Still not sure how the creator funds hosting public decks.
I get these types of things nearly daily since everyone mistakenly assumes they have my gmail account, single first initial and common last name. Many services don't require you to confirm e-mails, this is the problem. My apple ID account was created by someone else and they set the security questions and if you "forget" all the answers you cannot reset them online!

Only services I've seen that handled this properly are gmail and snapchat which send a verification e-mail to the entered address (for gmail its the secondary) and there is a link that you can click indicating your e-mail should not be associated with this account.
I don't believe the majority of people do not understand what 'tracking' entails even after the major outlets have talked about it. Most people do hate intrusive ads though so I do find that very hard to believe
That's actually where it is worst. That generation of Thinkpads omits the physical buttons you normally use with the trackpoint, instead using soft buttons on the "click" style trackpad. It makes both functions much less usable.
I've yet to meet a single person* with kids who actually, unironically, says things like "your just have to spend time with your kids, duh"

For economics and economy-related cultural topics, I really like NPR's Planet Money (https://www.npr.org/sections/money/127413729/planet-money/). The episodes on average are really short (anything from 6 to 20 minutes) so they're great for a quick passtime.

The polar opposite would be Dan Carlin's Hardcore History, with each episode seldom less than four hours. But with a fantastic narration and historical research that's head and shoulders beyond any other podcast I've ever seen (https://www.dancarlin.com/hardcore-history-series/)

LSE's Public Lectures and Podcasts is a great resource as well for more academic topics, albeit more in politics and economics rather than tech: (https://itunes.apple.com/gb/podcast/london-school-economics-...)

Mike Rowe's podcast is another one that's great for when you need just to plug in a few minutes gap of free time with just general amusement and stories (http://mikerowe.com/podcast/)

A subject of interest to me personally is true crime and criminal justice, and there are plenty of quality podcasts on the subject. Two of the best out there are Sword and Scale (http://swordandscale.com/), and Criminal (http://www.thisiscriminal.com).

How small the potential problem is depends purely on how much unsafe code you write, regardless of whether it has a special keyword associated with it.

The problem with the analysis that he is talking about is that it tends to lead to too many problems. Is this situation worth that amount of effort to fix?

i wonder what his feelings were regarding the followup of 2010: the year we make contact. although certainly vastly different from the 2001 movie, i thought it was a great movie in its own right. and it seems it contains more of what clarke preferred, even having a few narrations by haywood floyd.

Hopefully they also take advantage of the shorter flange distance of mirrorless, to redesign their lenses to be more compact too.
