"History has done a good and subtle job of ensuring Scots is thought of as a dialect of the poor - a lesser form of English."

Related processes happened all over western europe. Before radio & conscription, regional english dialects ranged from thick to "can't be understood one county over." There was a conscious effort to unify the language under the official dialect, king's english. Something similar was happening in Flanders, Netherlands right up until recently... Dialects were discouraged in schools and speaking in dialect became associated with a lack of schooling.

I don’t think Haskell is a very good example to promote for string handling. Things are mostly strict and well behaved once they make it into the Haskell program but before then they either need to satisfy the program’s assumptions before being input or the program will be buggy/crash unless it is carefully written such that it’s assumptions are right.

Without copyright there would be no copyleft; corporations would be free to exploit free software as much as they like.

Somewhat counter-intuitively without copyright we might also start seeing even more hostile and aggressive DRM style systems
I'm not a huge beer drinker (every week or two I might have a couple beers), and usually I'll stick mostly to what I like. Lil Sumpin is my all time favorite beer, but I'm not necessarily a huge fan of their regular IPA.

Brown Shugga seems like a fairly unique beer, but I don't have a lot of experience to compare it to. It's interesting on their tour to hear about how it was an accident. Not really to my taste though.

I live in the area, so it's widely available here (possibly along with variations in the supermarkets that aren't as widely available farther away?), and they all seemed fairly different, but I'm not sure I'm experienced enough to judge.

Aunt Sally - Did not like. Don't think I like sours though.

Supercluster - Had it the other week at a family gathering. Was pretty good.

The Pils you mention, I don't recall the name, I seem to recall liking it.

There was one super hoppy one with raw hops my brother had me try. I was not a fan, reminded my of drinking mowed grass. He seemed to like it.

The Red (called "Red"?) - Had once, really liked it, but it's been a few years.

Brown Shugga - It's been years since I tried it, but I recall not liking it too much.

IPA - Okay in a pinch, but not a first choice. I'll probably order something else if it looks remotely interesting at this point.

Lil Sumpin / Lil Sumpin Extra - My current favorites for the last few years.

I'd love to know what people recommend for other things like the Red or Lil Sumpin.

My question was if I should pay income tax. Foreign people should pay this tax if the income "effectively connected" to the US. I wondered if selling apps in the apple app store constitute "effectively connected income"
This isn't bad advice, but I would add to it. If you're a large organization and building in such a way that large groups need to understand the details of what you're doing, then you're doing it wrong.

Ideally speaking, implementations can be worked through with small groups. Only the interfaces need to be exposed and documented. Unless you're doing something beyond CRUD, drowning teams in unnecessary details often result in distraction.

The arguments against this I usually hear are about things like security audits, architecture reviews, and other internal processes designed to ensure engineering quality. However, I'd encourage these teams to also think like platforms that have machine interfaces. People make terrible APIs.
>but what other solution is there to this particular problem?

I don't know, letting the machine run despite having a voided warranty would be a good start.
Anti-copyright people seem to exist in a world where the only people who make things do so at big C&D-happy corporations. They mistake the cost of reproduction with the cost of creating and think the creating will happen with no control over reproduction.
I would feel a lot better, morally, availing myself of the "protections" of copyright if we went back to the original regime. The duration in the current regime is vastly too long. It's robbing the present of all the exciting derivative works that could be created based on existing works, and it's robbing the future of access to current works because they'll end up lost to time when their storage formats rot out from under them as they languish in their "protected" state for more than a human lifetime, unable to be effectively archived and propagated long after their commercial lifetime has ended.

Agreed. I'm anti-car personally, but I wouldn't force my choice on the entire nation certainly. Or even the entire city.

The current system, while horribly broken, is better than nothing. Copyright, as originally envisioned, would serve to protect authors of creative works. I think the best world would have separate and different copyright laws for different types of works, while also encouraging and protecting the contribution of original works to the public domain (tax breaks, etc.). I do think the current laws for software are completely busted though. Did you know the doubly-linked list is copyrighted?
> Have the decency to retract the false claim cleanly.

I retracted the false claim cleanly. The scam point remains unrefuted.
These trace back to the days of Viking raids and occupations for both Scots and Geordie.
> It's tautological "the"

It's the (sorry) obligatory "the", because "the shower" has been lexicalized. This is very intimate, because the situation in which one talks about the shower, especially when still learning the language, will virtually always be at home with family. But enough talk. I will go to bed ... to bed myself. First I will go to the shower, an' shower, though. It's overall very unlikely I will have an in-shower phone call.

The given explanation is not satisfying. There's a difference between rhetorics and grammar. The common denominator is syntax (phonology, too, to a degree) but it differs between vocal and written speech. The semantics are the same, but you can take a look at the wiktionary page of [a] to get an idea of how diverse that is.

So glad now I turned off Window's updates (because no matter what I did they kept installing when they shouldn't have).

I have been considering moving to linux for a while now because there's finally good alternatives for some of the apps I use, and I'm definitely going to start the move now.

I had all my user folders moved and this could have been me (and my backup drive just died too!). The user folders were actually part of the reason I disabled them. Every time, without fail, the moved user folders would get duplicated because Windows would recreate them at their default locations. I wouldn't be surprised if this bug wasn't related to that one.
Interested. Applied to the full stack role just now!
The distinction, as I understand it, are that active funds are legally free to invest in more abstract concepts. E.g. that oil will rally under these sets of economic conditions, and oil companies with these fundamentals are preferable.

Whereas passive index funds' concepts are much simpler. E.g. all companies that are this large.

This gets summed up as "less trading", but is really just trading on simpler criteria.

I'd be really curious to hear from someone in the area about the opposite -- what keeps passive funds (in the "no human" sense) from behaving more like active funds, with targeted, complex investment concepts?

If I wanted to start an algorithmically traded fund, cut my expense ratio by not having to pay humans, are there legal barriers currently standing in the way?
The idea that you can take the current state of modern desktop Linux as a consumer OS for the masses* is still just as crazy in 2018 as it always has been in years past.

I’m old enough to have seen a generation of Linux reviews proclaiming “this is the one!!” that can be the viable desktop OS for your family’s computers, and it never happens (the marketshare figures speak for themselves).

A consumer OS simply cannot ever require the average user to open a terminal window to fix, configure or install something, _ever_, to be a valid third choice for almost everyone who doesn’t have a Hacker News account. Windows and MacOS achieve this for the most part.

Google almost any kind of technical issue for, say Ubuntu, someone will suggest typing something in a terminal window that the average user doesn’t understand at all almost immediately.

* I will accept of course that ChromeOS is a notable exception, but this works radically differently for most users compared to most Linux distros.
I've had this debate in the office. It is, potentially, one of the start examples of where "service oriented architecture" shines. Define the service interface between the teams, and let them do the rest.

Unfortunately, it is too easy to actually talk of a shared infrastructure design. As soon as you have a shared message queue/repository or some other piece of infrastructure, you no longer have a solid contract between teams where each can operate independently of the other.
You're welcome to license the things you work hard to create under permissive terms. I like knowing I can send a C&D to a billion dollar corporation and generally expect action. As it is, plenty of people find their art in department stores sent in by people who didn't have permission. A simple notice deals with it.

What do creators do when those billion-dollar corporations have no risk from selling their art, which has an opportunity cost to make, without permission or compensation? It may cost little or nothing to reproduce, but it's not free to create. Control over reproduction makes the creation viable. Otherwise, they have to spend finite time and energy on other things to survive.
An RFC says "heads up, I'm planning to make a change." If the tagline doesn't seem relevant to your world, you simply ignore it.
He probably expected that sales would go down to irrelevant. That never happened, instead he got an absurd deal. MS is open sourcing to satisfy modders, eventually for more reach and cash. The intentions are very different and it would be awful to blame notch for that.
Use an Enterprise ISO that comes with Local Group Policy Editor.

From there you can turn off or on any feature or function.

I specifically use it to disable all windows defender applications and firewalls (which also automatically kills windows store and updates unless turned back on)

With something called execTI. It lets you modify the registry as a TrustedInstaller so you can turn off any services running aka the 5 or 6 different windows anti malware, defender, firewall, and security services.

If you want more instructions I will help because it is extremely annoying and every update does turn everything back on for the most part. So I do this cat and mouse game about every 2 or 3 months.

My laptop usage on 16GB of ram goes from 25% idle to just under 10% idle. which is my entire point of doing it so I can save battery life that I don't really have.
High contrast mode is nice for people with eyesight problems, yet it strains people with normal eyesight. More contrast leads to less cognitive ease for the average user.
It’s pretty hard to compare the value lost to the lettuce industry vs the illnesses and deaths.

The EPA values a life at $7.4M for policy purposes [0]. So 1351x7.4M is about $10B. In 2015, the value of all US farm output was $136B. [1] So you could argue that you’d want to save more value from lives than from market impact, if you wanted to be purely utilitarian (that I hope no one in thread does).

But there’s a big impact from illness. I think many people underestimate the impact of food borne disease because they are young and healthy. I’m glad you pulled up the impact because it’s a big deal.

Hopefully as people better understand the danger, we’ll be able to avoid reductive math where we only worry about things when they are big, and way harder to fix.

Your use of quotes suggests some grudge against architects. I am an architect and I consider my role as one to give guidance and enforce a uniform vision (although "enforce" sounds like I would actually have significant power over this chaos here). For example, last week I learned about situation which caused frustration to our developer for months already. After a few hours I confidently could give them guidance what they should do in the short-term, what will happen long-term and how we should handle it.

I agree that architects sometimes solve too general problems instead of addressing the immediate problem. I'm guilty of this myself. An architect has the responsibility to think further and wider than a developer while also being able to consider the details. I sometimes switch to the wrong gear.

Back to the actual topic: The relevant architect is just one of the select people to approve the plan.

I would love it if I would hear about new plans in written form. Unfortunately, it is usually in some meeting. This modus operandi forces me to sit in lots of meetings which are rarely relevant to me. Even worse, sometimes it is only through rumors which means lots of followup emails to clarify.

We actually do have a similar process to the one in the article, but without step 4 "Send this planning document out to all engineers". I suggested something like this a few times but most people complain that they get too much mail anyways. I also did mail to everybody a few times and it was helpful. So I fully agree with the article, but I lack to power to implement step 5 "Have everyone follow the above steps" so far.
I'd take 5, honestly. My perspective might be skewed by working in software, but I feel like that's really enough if you start from release date.
It's not like they want to showcase their rocket science.

Seoul Mayor Pledged $53.39M Fund for Blockchain Districts
In which jurisdiction is this actually a thing that happens? I don't see how Apple's scope of liability is extended to parts they (or an authorized partner) haven't put into the machine. (and I'd suspect they'd generally not be responsible for parts moved to a different machine either, since the warranty to covers the device, not an extracted part)

And how would you a describe something that stops the system from being used not as a "literal killswitch"?!
It's just simple straight humblebrag.

Ask HN: Moving from Senior Manager to Remote IC
Due to some health issues of my spouse, we have decided to move from the Bay Area back to the Chicago suburbs to be closer to extended family. I work at a FANG company which occasionally allows IC equivalent of manager and above to work remotely if there extenutating circumstances. I am considering talking with my director or VP about transitioning back to an individual contributor role, as it would be great to keep a high salary in a lower cost of living area, and not have to start my domain knowledge and relationships over again at another company. I'm assuming this would more or less kill my upward progression within this company which I'm not overly worried about, I am just not sure if the logistics makes sense, or if this is something typically tried and done successfully. I would be interested to know if anyone else has tried this and whether or not they've been successful

There’s a lot of hand-wringing in these comments about “But how will artists get paid? Who will bother to make art if they can’t make a living by their art?”

Spoilers: Most artists don’t get paid. Most artists can’t make a living by their art. If you go around announcing your intentions to become a professional artist, in any medium, nobody will assure you that you’ll make good money for it. Thousands of people write novels for fun or their own satisfaction, and then post them online for free, because that’s the only way they can be read.
I think it may be impossible, as a professional software engineer, to not violate copyright/patent law. I am fuzzy on copyright versus patent, as IANAL, but as example, have you ever used Quicksort?

From coursework created by P. Brooks of Duke University, https://www2.cs.duke.edu/courses/fall03/cps182s/oldproj/pwb_...:

"Though Patent #5175,857, "System for Sorting Records Having Sorted Strings Each Having a Plurality of Linked Elements Each Element Next Recording Address," has a highly specific title, it actually protects a brought process of sorting that is frequently used by different members of the computer science community— a linked-list implemented well-known algorithm Quicksort."

Of course it doesn't. But societies opinions are complex, hard to measure, harder to explain how you measured, and impossible to measure with receiving accusations that how you measured was biased.

"makes me deeply cynical about capitalism in general. I don't dislike capitalism, but this news is really gold for people who want to advocate against capitalism."

Funny because the first thing I think of is government incompetence and stupidity.

A hole in a system a billion dollars wide will always be taken advantage of in whatever kind of economic system, i.e. this is not 'capitalism' just 'quasi legal hacking'.

That's a pretty big hole and I wonder how many people will lose their jobs over it? One? More? Any?

I like fair regulatory systems, especially those easier to watch ... but this isn't that.

This is enough of an embarrassment that the government should be brought down over it. That's just an quite amount of money to lose for a small country. $2B buys a lot of services for a country the size of a city.
Ah yes. I've heard this argument. It's pretty puerile.

Land, utilities and the environment aren't like human-made resources. They're finite. So there's some inevitable decision-making there. This may limit your absolute freedom, but no one promised you that anyways.

It seems to me like having a majority of residents and workers supporting an initiative for local civic planning has a lot more legitimate authority than, say, a national vote on the same subject. At some point, you have to accept being an outlier.
