My colleagues use WSL for git and a few other linux CLI tools necessary to their work that git bash just wont quite cut it for. I often help them out with CLI stuff and I can say as both a full Linux user and an old x mac user (not exactly a fan these days), it's not comparable to mac... maybe one day, sure it's a real linux userland, but whatever majik layer they built on top of their kernel makes it feel like WINE inverted, some stuff is fine, other just painfully slow or erratic, also the terminal application is just horrid.

Sure mac is a weird mix of old bits of BSD tools and GNU but at least it's running natively, it's terminal application also has some crufty bits but it's still far more usable.

Oh also creating and modifying files in windows causes all kinds of issues with linux, because a) permissions and b) windows arbitrarily locks files... this really fucks with git. Someone goes and git pull some stuff and find out later that windows silently didn't let it's canned linux update the working tree properly... and then at commit time things get messy (where I come in), they aren't that experienced with git so it makes for a pretty shitty learning experience, even as an experienced git user it would piss me off if i had to put up with that all the time.

Anyway, if it was my choice and i _had_ to use windows for some reason, I would still stick linux in a VM or dual boot, you can trust it isn't half working that way.
Because people vote for it?

Smoking culture has a lot of knock on effects for third parties who aren't in a position to fix things themselves, children especially. I know; I grew up in a house with two smokers. Now I can scarcely handle visiting my parents' appartments.
Your comment is incredibly ignorant, and positions opinion as fact.

It sounds like this friend of yours was taking a biologic like Remicade. People take these medications (Humira, Remicade Embrel etc) because they have immune system issues - to make a statement that these things are all caused by "bad living" makes it clear how uninformed you are on the topic.

Immune system conditions are also renowned for coming in waves - people can go into remission for years without a strong link to causation, making changes in diet and lifestyle often appear as if "it was definitely eating hamburgers that gave me eczema/arthritis/crohns disease.

The truth is, the medical community doesn't know the cause of these diseases yet, other than potentially linking these diseases to a reduction in "things for your immune system to do" due to our overly clean and sterile living conditions compared to past centuries.

This preoccupation with ISPs is akin to concern about a pin prick while blood gushes out of knife wound unattended.

All sorts of solutions are offered enthusiastically while the elephant in the room, tens of thousand of engineers and billion dollar companies incentivized to hoover up and collate every minutiae of user data as a business model, is met with hand wringing and apologism about ad revenue.

In this case solutions have to emerge from outside the tech community by something like GDPR. Given that reality and the primacy of ad driven business models in SV its difficult to contextualize this preoccupation with ISPs. It feels like a distraction, insincere and driven by commercial concerns.
Get the fuck outta here with your strawmen.
That's not what corporate personhood means
> But that’s vulnerable to MITM

It is if that’s all you’re trusting, but you get to check the validity of the cert, so someone could MITM a TLS 1.3, but it wouldn’t do them much good as all they would get is a request for a certificate, then the normal TLS certification steps must proceed. Without the certificate private key the rest of the handshake would fail.
Exactly. It is a shame that the Thinkpad P* series is not as widely known. I have a P71 myself (exchanged the new MBP for it with no regret).
> I notice you tried to justify immorality

Hmmm. Perhaps I wasn't clear. You are reading a _lot_ more into my post than I intended.

I'm an Objectivist Libertarian who thinks that (a) what China is doing in this case is positively evil, and (b) that any level of resistance up and to including violent revolution on the part of the Chinese people would be entirely moral and justified.

By explaining the pragmatic 'justification' for this abhorrent system, I was trying to make the point that the Chinese Government gives exactly no shits about the morality involved; they want to exercise power, and this is seen as a cost-effective means of doing so.

The implied point I was _trying_ to make (and, clearly, failing) was that pragmatism in politics is the devil.

so compare to Tokyo with ~2100 stations 14 billion annual riders and the trains run on time. NYC has zero excuse
> because the sound/spelling correspondence is sufficient

I strongly disagree.

Firstly on listening to tourists, some of the worst pronunciation mistakes I hear are because they have learnt the spelling: you can hear mistakes that can only occur if you know the spelling (or are due to use a "general" voicing rule).

This shows up clearly when you are in another country and you tell someone a word for something and they repeat it back to you perfectly. However they often then ask for the spelling, and after you tell them the spelling, their pronunciation changes to something incorrect. Ouch.

Speakers with English as a mother tongue on seeing an unfamiliar word will ask how to pronounce it rather than making educated guesses at how to say it because any rule is often broken, and we learn not to trust our guesses. In fact someone who is well read but mispronounces words (intuited from spelling) is often laughed at.

One further problem that well spoken English is a sign of a good education, and it is often used to judge social status. In a professional job, correct speech helps one a lot. On the flip side you hear tradesman avoid using "correct" speech because they don't want to associate themselves with "suits" (or it is a group identity thing: I am not a ethanographer!).

The result of the above is that most people find it rude to have their speech or spelling corrected because of the implicit "I am better than you". Which means it is difficult to find anyone that will correct your mistakes because most people are polite. The exception is children: they love to correct adults and they often don't mind repeatably correcting pronunciation errors.

Note I think that a child that speaks English learns "rules" for sounding words primely to help identify the spelling of words they already know how to say. A learner may guess at a spelling, but the spelling is then corrected by the teacher.
Stanford is a non-profit. It is also charitable. It sounds like this guy wasn't given his options properly. Clearly he found insurance and was treated. I actually think that the social workers and financial workers at Stanford do a very poor job and this is from experience. I am sure that goes all the way up the executive chain. Imagine if you are a poor immigrant. Imagine if you don't have a rich friend to advocate for you.
devil's advocate: what's the issue here? while it's obviously better if they didn't do any MITM at all, I don't see what they're doing is worse (in terms of security) than your run of the mill MITM. it only works for http sites, so presumably there's nothing (too) sensitive on those pages. however, even if there was sensitive stuff, it's whitelisting jquery and vodaphone, neither of which contains any exploitable code. if you're doing some sort of xss, you'd still need to get some sort of initial code execution.
>Because people vote for it?

Really, like you ever got asked to vote "for it"?

First, it's usually a wholesale vote: you only like this 1-2 things about the party's/candidate's platform?

Sorry, you're getting those 200 other things too. And there's just 2 parties, so pick wisely, lest you get the one you really don't want.

Not to mention that even for the things people explicitly vote for, they don't get. Empty promises is the name of the game...

>Smoking culture has a lot of knock on effects for third parties who aren't in a position to fix things themselves, children especially. I know; I grew up in a house with two smokers.

So, like almost everybody pre-90s? They seem to have come out alright...
I wasn't trying to be. I was mildly annoyed that this person was being needlessly pendantic about an irrelevant point that doesn't matter in any way whatsoever in the real world. They failed to give an example that matters.
> An argument could be made that that's exactly why it's doing better. Since it got completely destroyed, it could be built from the ground up without the legacy costs that are now plaguing NYC's subway.

What kind of "legacy costs" are you referring to, which would be higher than the cost to build the system from the ground up?

> I simply can't see the MTA adopting ticket prices that are based on zones. The outcry would be larger than anything seen to date.

Yes, hence "lack of political will." There are too many people who benefit from some aspect of the inefficient status quo, be it outer borough commuters, late night partiers, or people living next to minor subway stations. Knowing American politics, that's why I am pessimistic that the dysfunctional status quo in the NYC subway will ever change.
tl; dr: Talk to a real lawyer if you are concerned.

IANAL but

Simple answer: Probably

Long Answer: Impossible to know without knowing your country. What kind of messages? Do you allow images/video? where is the data going to be saved? Are there possibilities for FOSTA/SESTA to apply if you are in the US? Or GDPR if you are in the EU? Is this just a messaging app or are the messages in some sort of "business" context (a marketplace for example where money and thus fraud could be involved)? Do you make any guarantees about the identity of your users (For example an app that allows potential patients to talk to doctors how do you guarantee that a dr is who they say they are)?

So for anyone here to even offer any kind of advice you'll need to elaborate a bit. However I getting actual legal advice form a lawyer on here is unlikely as if a lawyer gives you legal advice they are now liable for what you do with it.

Your best course of action is to go to a lawyer in your area and get some actual advice. It would be unwise to stake what could be your businesses on advice from armchair internet "lawyers".
Read a lot to build up your vocabulary. Then after vocabulary is there you can start consuming multimedia content in English (movies/tv-series). You can start with subtitles if it helps at first. At some point need in subtitles will just go away. And then just try to talk as much as you can in English. Listen to how native speakers contstruct sentences, try to replicate that on the fly in your speech.
well, do all factors scale linearly? if so, it shouldn't make that much of a difference. let's compare it to the subway system of vienna, austria (which is said to have one of the best public transport systems in the world).

so here's my personal theory.

all numbers - city population count, station numbers, system length and ridership - scale at a pretty much constant factor of 4. there are at least two huge differences though: density - that's ny:28,491/sq mi vs. vie:11,205/sq mi and year of opening is 1904 vs. 1976.

i'm pretty sure density is one of the deciding factors here, but let's pretend it's not - as ridership is comparatively lower at 3.99x -, what else might be different is the budget. viennas subway system is excellent but is so far up the curve of diminishing returns that the last few percent of reliability that sets it apart come at a steep price (the city pays with taxes).

other factors: vienna has a lot of alternatives in the form of trams and busses (and to a certain extend, trains), which take pressure of the subway. rate of biking is actually low compared to other cities because the public transport system is so good (and cheap).

so, some guesses as to why the ny subway system is so much worse:

* age: 1904 vs. 1976 - not sure if there's much of a difference as stations, trains and tracks have to be renewed periodically anyway.
* density: population density is almost trice as high, but actual ridership scales linearly with the rest
* travel distance in a randomized environment with choke points: if you'd assume that entry and exit stations are randomly distributed and the average travel distance is thus 4 times as long, the risk of encountering a malfunction is 4 times as high - and it takes just one to fuck your timetable up. not sure how likely that is, as, i guess, travels tend not to be randomly distributed in real life (i.e. you'll more likely choose a job that's closer to home).
* budget: the big question here. is the ny subway public transport system 4 times as expensive as the viennese one? do they employ 4 times as many people? do they have the same level of machinery maintenance?
Huh? I've been running a 2x/192dpi Linux/X11 laptop for a couple of years, and the experience has been near perfect. Hands down better than on Windows. Some DEs even detect the panel DPI and configure toolkit scaling automatically. Firefox and Chrome have been two of the most well-behaved apps, especially since they switched to GTK3, but it's not just GTK3 that is well-behaved, Qt5 is as well. Since most apps I use are Qt5 and some are GTK3, they all get crisp HiDPI rendering automatically from the toolkit.

So I'm not sure what you mean by "HiDPI on Linux is pretty much non existent." Maybe it gets worse if you need fractional scaling or displays with different scaling ratios, but these seem to things all platforms are struggling with. Microsoft only made built-in apps like File Explorer per-monitor-DPI aware in Windows 10 1703 (released a year ago), and macOS doesn't attempt fractional scaling (eg. 1.5x, 2.5x, etc.) at all.
Spectacle works great. No complaints.
The idea that it's left-recursive is not changed by the existence of top-down operator precedence, or kleene stars, or right recursion.

And it's not a weakness, either- just one way to think about the problem which happens to map fairly naturally to how people think about expressions.
not sure what your point was. Tokyo has several subways of a similar styl yet they manage to maintain them, renew, and rebuild while the train is running and stations are in use
I tend to think that learning a language is like dieting; it's not a one-time action and there's no end to it. It's a lifetime commitment.

That's said, being fluent is often not as important as being well spoken. I've seen many native English speakers who don't seem to understand what they're talking about even by themselves, while I've seen some non-native speakers who has minor pronunciation or grammatical problems but are very good at choosing right words and making a point. I'd rather want that kind of skill.
I used that one before. I don't like it technically. It only supports DNScurve and installs itself deeply into the system (e.g. system preferences). I also think it's more unreliable because they don't do the caching in a good way (sometimes a DNS server fails is my experience). I like dnscrypt proxy V2 more because it's more rock solid, works better on caching and also supports DNS over TLS. Only downside on dnscrypt proxy is that you don't have a nice UI and you have to type the local DNS 127.0.0.1 manually into your Wifi or LAN connection point.
I've never been a fan of the Next aesthetics, hardware or software, and was afraid of what the Mac would become after the merger. I actually rooted for Be, which had Mac OS written all over it and great taste overall. Till this day I miss BeOS.

But the tech on Next was way more mature. And there was this guy named Steve.

This one looks a little weird (the original quote is very sketchy with little detail) so I researched on it a little. If you search for "私立学校 老赖" you can get a picture of what is going on. You can try Google Translate if you don't read Chinese.

Laolai 老赖 refers to those who can afford to pay debts but refuse the court orders to do so. High cost private school tuition is considered luxury spending. So the ability to afford private school is considered constructive evidence of ability to pay debt outstanding.

China needs to figure out a personal bankruptcy system. But it also needs to figure out how to deal with people who hide assets through friends and relatives.

As it stands I doubt this has much to do with social mobility, as some seem to be worried about here.

>I was actually thinking of the RC car controllers or power tools. Your hand is strong in that configuration vs a standard camera.

For the former, it doesn't matter if you're a little shaky, and for the latter, it's expected to be shaky (the power tool generates shake). So not sure if those are the best examples for camera design based on that (and power tools can tire your hands if hold for an extended period of time).

>Specifically, though, I was talking about high end cameras. There are some high capability cameras in bodies that really make them unpleasant to use. The a7r in particular. Great results, but terrible ergonomics. And, there’s a reason people still use canon lenses on Sony cameras.

That I agree with, but I'm not sold on the pistol grip.

Perhaps if it also has a shoulder mount -- like video dslr pisto-like grips to stabilize it.
For even greater effect, the app could apply heuristics when selecting target contacts, preferring names such as ‘Dad’ and ‘Mom’, or contacts that have nicknames.

The best heuristic would probably be the contact that has messaged you {first|second|third} most frequently in the last week.
The point was to explain why the NYC subway system has a relatively high number of stations, in direct reply to someone who was asking why the NYC subway system has a relatively high number of stations. I'm not sure what your point is though.
No, but this consideration is evidence that the allegations may be false.

that is no excuse. it's called maintenance. other cities manage to maintain their transit system . NYC has zero excuse . See Tokyo's transit history for how often they've upgrade the entire system a piece at a time.

It's standard of care to send a patient to the ER from the nursing home... We may not "know" this but it's also fine to call 911 and get an ambulance especially if the staff on hand is not cooperative. Some nursing homes have a clinic attached to them for daily and urgent care but even if you had a hospital next door they would still have to be wheeled or taken by ambulance. So this specific part of the article is overly sensational.

I remember trying and finally getting the i86 version of NeXTSTEP 3.3 running. Ended up with a Digital 486 base with parts from about three other machines for supported SCSI adapter, video card, CD-ROM, and special startup incantations. When it finally booted in glorious 2bit (4-level grayscale and I'm not even being facetious), it was honestly all worth the effort.

Interface Builder was mind-blowing. It's why we have .nib (or is it .xib now) files on macOS as well as all the NS* classes. The layout constraint solver was really slick back then too.

I suspect that 'porting' the operating system, but not really supporting machines of the day didn't help.

Sklyarov charges were dropped in a typical american plea-bargain

"Mr. Sklyarov agreed to cooperate with the United States in its ongoing prosecution of Mr. Sklyarov’s former employer, Elcomsoft Co., Ltd. Mr. Skylarov will be required to appear at trial and testify truthfully, and he will be deposed in the matter. For its part, the United States agreed to defer prosecution of Mr. Sklyarov until the conclusion of the case against Elcomsoft or for one year, whichever is longer. Mr. Sklyarov will be permitted to return to Russia in the meantime, but will be subject to the Court’s supervision, including regularly reporting by telephone to the Pretrial Services Department"
