How’s that working out for you? I don’t imagine most devs respond well to being called devil dogs for example! I jest but being a former nco myself (army) I don’t see how it really applies. Maybe commincating clearly and making intent and desired outcome clear, maybe.
That guy's statement is clear that he purposely ignored the first ten words of my comment so even though we are supposed to give everyone the benefit of a doubt, the most charitable interpretation I can give is that they were just waiting for the opportunity to bait someone with that troll comment. It's like saying that one African American guy at all the Trump rallies who is obviously mentally unbalanced shows that African Americans support Trump.

What exactly is Microsoft alleged to have done wrong here? It starts by saying "stole my code", but then discusses an MIT licensed piece of code.

Furthermore, I'd see Microsoft's reply:

> I'm not aware of any deliberate copying of the Lerna code, but let me dig into it now and call all the devs on the team to be sure. If there is, we should definitely give correct attribution, so I want to investigate. [...] I checked with the devs, and nobody's aware of any code coming from Lerna. If we inadvertently used something without credit, I really would like to know so that I can fix it.

I have a Surface RT too that I love for couch computing. It didn't cost much and I continue to get a lot of use from it, but the fact is it is not fully supported.
Yes, is there any reason to think that there'll be more than a factor of 2 difference? Fossil fuels will tend to have a higher hydrogen to carbon ratio than charcoal but the energy per carbon isn't that different.

Yes you should fight to change the law if you don't like it and likewise I do not think the law need to be changed nor the more regulation is needed so I will fight it too.

I wouldn't worry about it. OP is massively cherrypicking studies. That particular citation is an unreplicated experiment which contradicts literally scores or hundreds of other experiments going back half a century or more, including dozens sponsored by the US Navy investigating cognitive performance at CO2 concentrations all the way up to 20,000 PPM and higher, finding jack squat (which is why submarines are allowed to have such high CO2 levels, which saves on scrubbers & range). Here's one book reviewing CO2 studies: https://www.nap.edu/read/11170/chapter/5#54 For comparison, your bedroom will routinely get to 1-3000 PPM while you sleep for 8-10 hours daily even if you leave the door open; have you noticed any ill effects or that you are borderline retarded while in your bedroom? Probably not... And see my discussion in https://www.lesswrong.com/posts/pPZ27eZdBXtGuLqZC/what-is-up...

Since you have to go to 10,000 PPM or even 60,000 PPM to start finding serious effects of CO2, it's very hard to believe that the Satish effect is real or of the staggering magnitude claimed, or that global warming will, by increasing average CO2 PPMs by at most a few hundred over a century, will have much of an effect. (Not to mention that it would be easy to offset with office plants+better ventilation even if you buy the story.)
This shows the state of domain knowledge in the industry.
This is why people like me still exist because despite the huge progress in programming sophistication basic concepts escape everyone.
Access to root on the device is the pre-requisite of a lot of attacks, and this presents risks.

https://www.kaspersky.com/blog/android-root-faq/17135/

Also the control which allows users to install sofware from different sources, leads in many cases to them installing malware masquerading as "free games" or similar.

Android malware is a much larger problem than malware in the more controlled iOS world.

so to me that's a real trade off. you have control of your device and the ability to install software from more locations, however your security risks increase.

For some people that risk will be entirely justifiable, for others, it makes sense to have an option of a more locked down environment.

Personally I like Linux for servers (I have control/responsibility) but for my smartphone I use iOS as it's easier to secure and I don't really want to use that device for "proper" computing.
I'm no MS fan (although my opinion has changed relatively recently from "Ew gross" to "Hm").

But knee-jerk reactions always bother me, regardless of which side of the aisle they're from.

In this spirit, to counter sites like https://github.com/upend/IF_MS_BUYS_GITHUB_IMMA_OUT, there's now a MEH side of the argument, in hopes of fostering at least some reasonable discussion.

Issues filed on MEH may (or may not) be merged into the main README and PRs will be reviewed and merged (or not) as seems reasonable.

I'd rather have an actual discussion rather than just MS IS ALL TEH BADS because ultimately they're not all teh bads.

They have a lot of unfortunate history to contend with.

All about that bass: exploring auditory perception using a meme
"In god we trust" was a swipe against the UK monarchy. The US government rejects rule "By the Grace of God". In most western monarchies God anoints kings and queens. But God has no role in picking the president. The root of power in the US is "the people". Those people trust that God could step in if needed, but they don't expect God to play the active role he does in monarchy.

Given that historical context, it is funny to see the phrase now used to support religion.

Tell that to Youtube. Youtube has never made a dollar in profits. Did Google destroy it as soon as they acquired it in 2008?

No: Google is propping it up as a loss-leader and incentive to sweeten the deal by bundling their other more profitable services.

We can expect Microsoft to do the same thing: Github will still lose money, but it will integrate with VScode and Azure and OWA and they'll offer on-prem installations for enterprise customers who are already paying for those other profitable services.
Monsanto has been bought/split up a few times since then. It really isn't even close to the same company any more.

The name has been tainted so bad I'm really surprised they aren't going to spin off something with the name, just so they can be fully rid of the name.
I will have to disagree with that, back in the day I remember using more Google Code than Github. Maybe I was more into fringe projects that were not big enough and on Github, but in my personal experience the pain was felt when we lost a bunch of issues and documentation of the platform and not the code itself or the binaries. Plus, this seems like a strategy of Microsoft to win some brownie points in the open source community unless they see a huge money making opportunity that I'm not seeing.
If you can create new tech in Australia at all, with the lack of investment opportunities and government support, you can probably do it from Adelaide. If you're into fixing existing stuff then yes stick to the big cities.

Ask HN: What are some of the best resources to get visibility for your product
I built a simple scheduler that will notify customers via text message. This came about after I was unable to answer a few calls from my dentist and doctor regarding upcoming appointments. I thought to myself a text message would have been much better. So I built http://www.unas.in.

But now I am at the point where I would like some feedback on the app. I don't know how to even begin marketing something like this. I feel this would be great for small businesses.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!
How did they treat Windows Phone developers?

How did they treat Nokia employees?

Mhmmm.
Why should I care that they "killed" Nokia. (It still sells products, by the way.)

Nokia, isn't a person. It's another corporation. Patents racketeering...this is literally only going to be fixed with legislation. I'm all for it. There is no such thing as a corporation that won't chase every dollar that it can. That's what they do. Want to stop patent BS? Remove the incentives through legislation.
Just wondering why BitBucket option isn't enabled by default?
This has happened to me. I had an account at one point that used to get 100+ likes on the majority of posts. After the introduction of the feed algorithm it went down to about 40-60 likes regularly, then at some point it dropped to <5 likes per post. I created a separate account on a computer that had never been used to login to an Instagram account before while at starbucks, and confirmed that none of the posts from my primary account were showing up under any of the hashtags I use regularly. I then followed my primary account from the temp account, as well as a few other random accounts, and the posts from my primary account never showed up in my feed. After a couple weeks of trying to resolve this with no luck I chose to stop using the account. I checked every couple weeks, and it took 4+ months for the posts to start appearing under hashtags and on users feeds again. I ultimately decided to just delete my account

>Linux is a winner for server apps but on the desktop it seems to get worse over time, not better.

No, not really. The problem is too many people (like you maybe) associate "Linux desktop" with "Gnome (3)". That's false; there's a bunch of different DEs for Linux. Just look at Xfce; it isn't getting worse. KDE seems to be getting no worse too.

This is true, but most malware is neither high-effort nor high-quality. It's very easy to edit /etc/hosts. It's a lot harder to inject yourself into the binary in a way that works. It's harder still to inject yourself into the binary in a way that works if the binary is actively trying to not be injected into, or using some security-by-obscurity scheme for signing the config, or whatever. Yes, it's all running at the same privilege level (or lower) and the malware technically has the access, but it's not cost-effective to have battle-hardened automatic reverse-engineering tech built into your malware.

Chrome in particular has a DLL blacklist that seems to work very well in practice: in theory, a DLL blacklist can't possibly work, but in practice, DLLs don't try hard enough to hide their existence from the blacklisting code. https://www.chromium.org/Home/third-party-developers#TOC-Goo...

No, that’s not why.
I don't find it unbelievable, I just personally don't get the appeal because you have to do that work when you name things anyway. e.g. I would never expect a variable named "first_name" to be anything other than a string. It's also fairly easy to handle most type conversions so I would rather be permissive in what I accept (to a reasonable point) than be rigid.
I'm not a Microsoft fan but I don't get two of your examples.

Nokia was on the path to obsolescence before Microsoft purchased the failing company. Nokia lost more than $3 billion dollars in 2012. You don't spend billions of dollars to purchase a failing company and then intentionally fail some more. Skype works the same as it always has for me and I pay them nothing. Are you upset that Skype hasn't moved forward at all? That seems like a valid criticism but hardly "evil".

The stuff they did in the 90's was true evil. They actively sabotaged competitive technology and companies. Making agreements in bad faith was part of their corporate culture. They considered open source a cancer they were trying to snuff out.

For $10, I'd expect above 99% accuracy, especially since I can get an automated transcript for $5 for 60 minutes that presumably has a similar error rate to what you are offering.

Also, I'd expect it sooner than 24 hours, since I can get automated ones back in under an hour.

Not trying to be cold water. I am actually interested, but what sets you apart from the other cheaper automated solutions? Am I wrong about the error rate I can expect elsewhere?
There are many solutions to the problems that Earth's atmosphere faces. One of the solutions is Accelerated Silicate Weathering[1]. Everyone likes to talk about how screwed we are, but that is yesterday's discussion. Today's discussion is this: How hard are you going to work today and for the rest of the year and for the rest of the decade on advancing the many solutions we have available to this problem? Are you going to be a hero, or are you going to fear-monger? The future of the planet depends on the readers of this comment (and the writer of it, for that matter) more than any of us can know. That's right. It is your personal responsibility to advance the efforts to reduce pollution and C02 levels. Do not abandon us.

>I judge companies on current behavior and Microsoft seems to be doing far more right than wrong.

This isn't about behavior. This is about product management. As a reminder, Microsoft's current products include TFS (and I don't mean just TFSVC) and Teams.
That has definitely been a commonly deployed trick throughout historical Chinese dynasties. However there are always two sides to it and nothing can be regarded simplistically, especially if you're talking about Xi's anti-corruption campaign. While Xi might be consolidating power with the corruption crackdown, the general welfare of Chinese civil servants have indeed been reduced a lot, to the extent that many of them simply quit and started their own businesses indeed.

Whether one likes it or not, Xi is genuinely trying to make China more like the US and letting the private market play a much bigger role while reducing government support. He's just like Reagan.

At first blush I find it very hard to believe. Your body might have to work a tiny bit harder to maintain homeostasis (since more CO2 in the atmosphere = more ventilation needed to expel it from your blood), but we're dealing with such low levels - and such small changes - that it sounds very improbable to me.
One, SSH on port 443 is not the same thing as HTTPS on port 443 (I've seen systems that block the former and not the latter).

Two, running a proxy to move all my browsing elsewhere seems like the hack. Changing the internet's norms so normal DNS is HTTPS-based, and everything just works everywhere for everyone, seems like a stable long-term solution.

Azure is not bad at all, but in my opinion AWS still has more and better offerings.
It does interact. Just very weakly/infrequently. So you need lots of data, over long periods.
I appreciate that Aws is apathetic a bit. The other way to put it would be unintereste or removed or unbiased. They aren’t that helpful, fine. That’s what we get paid the big bucks for. I’ve worjed in the Msft ecosystem...never again, no thanks.
> not that your post were hidden from your followers feed but more than your post would not be visible within the hashtag section

I had an account that was shadowbanned, or at least seemed to be, and I was able to confirm that my posts didn't show up under hashtags or in followers feeds. In order to see my posts you had to manually navigate to my page, which caused my likes to drop to less than 5 per post
> Note, in the first case FB did constrain the ability of the device makers to access data on the phone, by getting them to sign TOS of the api

That's not a very good constraint.
What are you talking about?

Microsoft has to suck it up when they screw up like everyone else.

...they’ve just got a teack record of screwing it up (and screwing peopke over) which is longer and messier thansome other people.

Google would get the same reaction if they had done what microsoft has.

"They had a lot of autonomy, which also feeds self-esteem and mental health." Yes, they had too much autonomy that resulted of violance, harassment of other kid. Maybe you was living a perfect life, but it's not the case of every kid.
