Windows does have signals! It just splits them into a few facilities. POSIX "synchronous" signals correspond to SEH exceptions and can be handled roughly the same way --- except that signals have process global handlers and Windows has thread-local ones, because the glibc people are sticks in the mud and are hostile to any attempt to make signals suck less.

For asynchronous signals, like SIGINT, Windows create a new thread out of thin air to deliver your app a notification. That's not really all that much better than a signal from a concurrency perspective.

Windows even has APCs, which are like regular signals that are delivered only at explicit system call boundaries.

Every operating system needs some mechanism to tell a process to do something. Windows has evolved an approach that isn't all that different from Unix signal handling.
I believe it's not really hard to check one's competency level in STEM fields. Suppose you're interviewing those with bachelor's degree in math. Intro to Abstract Algebra and Real Analysis are two of the core requirements for those in undergrad math. Admit all those with papers automatically. Place a super high bar of responsibility and expectations on the so called "self-taught" ones. For example, accept only those who can solve every single problem in Hatcher's Algebraic Topology cold. I doubt even 10% (numbers out of my ass) of the undergrads in the US are capable of this feat. Anyone who taught themselves this shit (gaping holes or not) can kick some serious ass. Sounds fair to me.

I'm serious. I carry one of these [1]. The most common problem I have is w/ businesses getting sketched out. Costco asks to look inside it more often than not for example. Its not like it is one of the large ones, it is pretty much a glorified fanny pack, and is about the same size as an average purse. Costco has never asked to look inside my wife's purse.

I don’t know if what you are saying is true.

I do know that in the past, every time I try to corroborate a similar statement made in a similar tone I end up realizing the commenter was presenting a very narrow and biased, inaccurate, and occasionally slanderous view.

So I don’t invest that time and energy anymore. Life is finite.
QnX is so common that if you removed it from the industrial world the world would literally grind to a halt. Machinery and vehicles would stop moving, factories would stop producing, chemical plants would (hopefully!) shut down and airplanes would no longer take off (or would have a much harder time trying to land without the usual guidance systems), boats would drift and messages would stop being sent through many systems that you probably would never have heard of.

For one example of such a system: A computerized way to communicate the availability of cargo and space to brokers all over the world, on a good Monday morning several million such messages are sent with a guaranteed maximum time between the first and the last such message sent (to ensure a fair market).

QnX is extremely pervasive and it - and other OS's like it - are so reliable that people tend to forget the systems it powers.

Blackberry made a pretty smart move with their acquisition of QnX, pity that it did not end with QnX being open sourced, that would have been very nice.

Ordered, and excited to try! That free shipping offer got me to go back and add an item, so kudos. Once I taste the product, I might just submit a pav bhaji recipe.

Can't comment on pricing until I taste and get a sense of quantity. Certainly reasonable enough to let me try.

Some feedback on the site:
- Love the pastel colors and packaging design. Very clean, with excellent photos. Any concern about appearing too feminine for your target customer?
- I feel like the "Details" should already be open when I go to a product page. I ended up having to twirl it open each time I visited a page. Also annoying that the Drift pop-up covered up those details every time!
- I got confused about bundles, quantities, and meal counts, and just ended up ordering enough to get free shipping. Maybe that's the intent?
- Loved the "How to Eat" section. Helped me decide what to buy, but once again, it was hidden.
- I would suggest left aligning your text on product descriptions. Centered text is harder to read, especially with the bulleted lists.
- I want more imagery of the food! Photos of the ingredients! Videos of the cooking process! "How to Eat" as a video or photo series, instead of text!

You all make fair points but I definitely don't think it is "corruption of capitalism". I doubt spacex or tesla would be worth nearly as much as they currently are without him because he is a master marketer. They got tens if not hundreds of thousands of people to line up to buy a car years off from production. They also get people to work for them doing 60 hour weeks because they love the mission that he is trying to achieve (source, my brother who worked for tesla and did 60 hour weeks).

On "taking Tesla private", I don't blame him considering the mission each company is trying to achieve will take a long time and spacex doesn't really get much bad press much whereas tesla is constantly hammered which would be demoralizing if I worked there.

"Observing" means entangling with photons which have previously been entangled with the observed object. Thus, viewing an object means changing its state in such a way that you're temporarily also part of its state, forming an entropy gradient to gain energy/information from it.
Yeah, I'll do that! Thank you for your interest!

All this may be true, but part of the reason is still that Thai food is yummy and delicious! Speaking for myself, I could eat Thai pretty much every day. And luckily enough, I feel like we have an embarrassment of riches in terms of good Thai food here in the Triangle area. You've got:

Watson is a term that is now so overloaded with hype that I tend to ignore it. It's worse than AI.
The rate of success with pills is lower, and it allows time for regret and the patient to seek help, whereas with a gun after the trigger is pulled it's over. The reasons that American men commit suicide twice as often as women do even though only half as many men attempt suicide is because they are more likely to use a gun.
I might not be using the same definitions as you are or maybe I'm getting something mixed up, so I'd be glad if you could elaborate on what exactly you mean by "determinism", "realism" and especially "locality".

(In my book, the Copenhagen interpretation is a non-realistic(∆), non-deterministic and local theory, which would contradict your statement.)

(∆) Assuming, of course, that the wave function is not an object of reality, as I think is standard.

Is there a chance this will be connected to a functional shell interface. I get your point that cmd cannot be upgraded because of legacy issues and that is understandable and unfortunate, but windows needs a proper shell. This is obviously a great start for one side of the equation. But until there is a decent terminal app, windows will continue to be a nonstarter.

Yeah, that's a pretty common thing.

There are two types of spicy:

Actual Spicy

White People Spicy

You go into any restaurant in NYC, as a white person, and they ask you if you want it spicy, and you only say "yes, please" get ready to be disappointed.

Most restaurants have been burned by random tourists sending back full plates of food by white tourists from other parts of the country, that they lower their spiciness, if you look like non-foodie white people.

They don't even ask or mention what they're doing. You say: yes, spicy, please. Then you get Ohio Spicy.

They don't even call it "white people spicy" but that's what it is. You have to emphatically say, "Yes, VERY spicy, please." in order to get actual chilies, and real spice oils.

Try it with a friend, who doesn't look like white people. Both of you order the same dish, both spicy, then trade. The only route around this situation is to look like New York Foodie White People.

> So are you saying wealth is distributed less socially in the EU than it is in the states? I've never heard that before but it could be right, I don't know the details of how countries contribute to the EU. I certainly have heard the moral arguments from Germany, as well as from the rest of the rich EU countries.

What I'm saying is that, once you remove currency mechanisms which automatically bring into equilibrium the balance of payments between EU member states, you can have permanent trade imbalances between countries. German exports remain artificially cheap within Europe because they are Euro-denominated. So Germany keeps racking up balance-of-trade surpluses, which then allow it to go into the southern countries and buy up real estate and major companies, so that they become the effective owners of the country. Obviously they have a vested interest in maintaining the current system.

> Are poor regions in the US effectively assisted by subsidies? I feel in the EU the main problem is lack of integration, for example if I design a product here in The Netherlands, it would be a lot cheaper to set up a factory in say Poland or Spain, but I'd be hesitant to do that because of cultural and language barriers. I suppose that's less of a problem in the US, though in the US distances are greater.

There are quite a lot of factories in southern Europe, because salaries are much lower, but that does not really help the southern countries much, as the profits flow back north into their parent companies' countries. Obviously over time, salaries in the south will also tend to rise, hence the enthusiasm of Germany for an open-borders policy which floods the entire European market with cheap immigrant labour, thus holding wage levels low.

I considered removing Hubba completely from the post but the truth is that I use it. I work in marketing/growth and realized a year ago that I knew very little about the retail world. I decided to spend my own money to learn the business and bring those learnings back into my job. So in that sense, sure this is an AD, if anything it's an AD for Shopify given how much I love their software.

If you notice, there is no mention or link to my actual store that could drive $$$ into my pocket directly. The point is not to market my store, but to show you how easy it is, with the right tools, to break free from dropshipping.

It's too bad if that's all you take away from this post. The truth is that I use Hubba on a weekly basis to find new products and I haven't been able to find anything else to help me there. There are lots of marketplaces but most are full of crap or only work with dropshippers. At least on Hubba, I know the brands are being vetted by a team of humans for quality and integrity.

If you have a better alternative or another service I would be happy to include it in here.

This is just it. Carrying a gun is so normalised in the US that people are admitting that they forget that they are carrying a device which has the sole purpose of killing or injuring.

This is not ok in my opinion, but apparently everyone is ok with living in an environment where you all believe you need a gun for protection (which, if it's buried at the bottom of your bag, is going to be hopeless). I can't fathom that a person could be happy with this, but there you go.

HubSpot is actually pretty good. For starters, it's free. They have most of the tools you'd want to run an efficient sales process available as add-ons too. It's also gaining steam and likely to end up with the most third party integrations behind Salesforce. They also have a HubSpot for Startups program which can get you 90% off your first year.

Full disclosure: I used to work at HubSpot on the product team, but I didn't work on the CRM. In fact, I kind of built a competitive product to the HubSpot CRM internally for awhile, so wouldn't say it was good unless it really was.

Ah but see, now you're conflating two different things:

cmd.exe is a shell

conhost and cmder are terminals.

I believe cmder can come with git bash as well, which is also a shell.

The confusion comes from when you launch cmd, the window that appears by default is conhost, with cmd running attached to it. When you launch cmder, it's also running attached to cmd.

It isn't about guns per se, it's about all lethal items. The how of suicide is just as important as the why. Having anything in your home that is a highly efficient means of killing yourself greatly increases the risk that you will in fact kill yourself. Most suicidal intent is temporary and most suicidal behaviour is impulsive, so restricting access to highly effective means of suicide is a vital tool in preventing suicide.

In 1998, the UK restricted sales of paracetamol (acetaminophen) to packs of no more than 32 tablets. The result was a lasting reduction in suicides by paracetamol poisoning, with no commensurate increase in suicide attempts by other means. Several studies have found that interventions like installing suicide prevention barriers on bridges can reduce the suicide rate rather than merely changing the choice of means.

If you take an overdose of tablets or slit your wrists, you'll probably survive with suitable medical care. You probably have the opportunity to change your mind, call an ambulance and save your own life. Very few people survive a gunshot wound to the head; all of them sustain life-altering injuries.

You have the right to own a gun, but that comes with responsibilities. You need to recognise that your gun poses a serious risk to you and your family, especially if it isn't consistently stored in a suitable gun safe or someone in the house is at risk of suicide.

If you're worried about the mental health of a family member, controlling their access to convenient and highly lethal means of suicide could well prevent an impulsive decision from becoming a tragedy. Clear out your liquor cabinet, throw out any surplus medication and get your gun out of the house.

I feel like screen-reader-capable text should always have two options, since so many things in life benefit from a detail option: “give me the tl;dr” with an option for “more” if I want it.

I know it’s hard enough to get consistent support for "alt" at all but an "alt-long" might be nice too so you can say things like alt="Picture of ocean landscape" alt-long="An evening shot of a beach in the Maldives, with a full moon, no clouds and still water.".
The alt text you quoted still sets mood and setting. In terms of capturing reader interest, narrative is important. How would this hurt?

It sounds like you're asking for two different things here:

cmd.exe is a shell, and that's the guy that's parked.

conhost.exe is a terminal, and that's under active development, though it's slower than something like VsCode, because we can't just go adding features as we see fit, we have a LOT of back compat we still need to support.

Fortunately, conpty will allow for the creation of new terminal applications on Windows. If you're looking for a better shell experience on windows, I can point you to powershell or even [yori](http://www.malsmith.net/yori/), which looks pretty cool
