The trick is to behave like you're not doing anything wrong.

If you have a pair of bolt cutters and you look like you're aimlessly wandering, people will notice.

If instead, you walk in and go straight into any random office, you're fine.

If you know where the building manager's office is, go straight for that and make it look like you talked to them, people won't question anything you do afterwards. (Source: watched someone do this during a pentest)

There's seem to be a pattern where some people consider simple languages an insult to their intelligence and will fight its adoption with whatever cheap shots that's available. This seems to be such a case.
I like that it is open source and I can self-host. Were there any security concerns for open sourcing the project? And what makes you choose AGPLv3?
Is there any way to do use python as the backend? I feel the same way about handling raw HTML/CSS/JS. Either I haven't learned enough about handling those or I should learn React/Angular/Vue, but I do want to stay on python for my backend.
Yeah but if they'd allow you to ride 35km/h you could use residential roads without impeding traffic. That's dangerous because such bikes might actually eat into car industry profits; think of the jobs! For similar reasons it's a lot easier and cheaper to get a moped that does 45km/h instead of one that does 55km/h.
Everything you mentioned was done. Including assymteric patterns, the bolts couldn’t be put in the wrong way and had arrows with color markings. The installation engineer literally “hammered” these in the wrong polarity.

IMO Recommending R as a replacement for Python is like recommending a VW Beetle rigged to explode if it hits more than 2mph as a replacement for a beat-up old family car that is missing two tires.

Python might have it's pain points but R is straight up the most horrendous programming language I've ever used, including Malbolge and Brainfuck in that ranking. The only valid reason people ever present me for using this language is "a lot of other people wrote stuff that is relevant for statistics in R and why throw away all that work?".
Sure, this is a great submission to flag!

PSA: If you are using Ubuntu, deleting Python may break your boot process.
Seems more like an attack on a straw-man Python ecosystem.

Section 1, on there being two versions of Python, is a bit daft. It's been settled: use 3.

Sections 2, 3 and 4 are attacking Python for not behaving in the way R does. For what it's worth, everyone struggles with objects being passed as references at some point or other -- for me it was not realising keyword function arguments' default values are evaluated at definition time, not call time. In any case, the alternatives would not work in Python.

Section 5 is attacking Python for not having RStudio. Personally, as a long term vim user, I've recently tried Spacemacs and found being able to paste to REPL a huge time-saving feature. I'm sure there are plugins for vim that can do this too, it's just it was enabled and discoverable in spacemacs.

I get that R is good for statistics. It's probably better than Python for stats. But Python is a general purpose language that really gets a lot right, which is probably one of the reasons for its growing popularity in Machine Learning.

Thank you. In the same vein, it bothers me that Hawking weighs in on AI/ML when he clearly hasn't written a line of ML code in his life. The popular press picks up on his drivel as if he is some authority in the field leading to unsubstantiated fears and misinformation.

I agree that R has it's benefits, but zero of the points in that article appear solid when you actually spend time with Python. Have to choose Python 2 or 3 for a new project? Guess what, pick version 3, because you know - you could say the same thing about Ubuntu 16.04 or 18.04 ?

I just realized that Amazon Go stores are (designed to be) theft-resistant, anyone want to sneak something under their shirt, well, doesn't matter, the cameras still saw it and will still charge them.

Could do all that, but FreeBSD could also have GNU make as the standard "make". I know there's some "license purity" reason why they don't want to do that, but don't expect everyone else to work around your self-imposed problem.
For my projects which are written in C or C++, I use cmake which can generate BSD makefiles among other targets. For some other projects (websites/etc.) I use gmake directly because they are not related to C. Since some of my makefiles (e.g: https://github.com/shlomif/shlomi-fish-homepage/blob/master/... ) have become quite large, I've started looking for better build systems - see my current research at https://www.shlomifish.org/open-source/resources/software-to... .

I tried using meson for https://github.com/shlomif/mini-factor , and while it worked fine locally it turned out to require python 3.6 which made it hard to install on Travis-CI. I ended up created a complementary cmake build system.
Thank you!

So many projects seem to think a convoluted i stall is alleviated with a docker image. No! A docker image is good but it doesn't replace the need for a sensible native install.

It seems to work okay for Nintendo: https://www.nintendo.co.jp/support/oss/

In fact, I remember looking on my SNES and NES classics at a laundry list of open source libraries used for those mini consoles.

"Free and open source" doesn't mean you have to give things away for zero dollars (free as in beer vs free as in speech), just that you have to provide users the means to inspect, modify, and link what you've released. I think you'll find quite a bit of GPL and open source information in the about section of quite a few games. I seem to recall Darksiders 2 (among others) offering to send you their GPL'd source from the main menu about screen.

So, I think it works out just fine for games. Hell, all the games made from the GPL'd id-tech engines should be enough to convince you it has worked just fine for games.
True, but you do need to make sure to handle signals properly - there are special requirements for PID 1. https://github.com/Yelp/dumb-init/blob/master/README.md has a niceish explanation.

Whops, my mistake, missed that (I had looked for other submissions earlier and just seen your link as "visited" and misremembered). The one year rule is in the general HN FAQ.

Gab is just a clone of Twitter. I might well agree that Twitter-type services are more prone to "hateful expression" than longer form writing, but given the relative sizes of Twitter and Gab you can certainly find far more hate on Twitter. And no, Twitter certainly don't crack down on it systematically, not when it's the kind of hate fashionable on the west coast.

I think it’s the worst of both worlds, you still have to deal with types (often manually even), but you can’t trust your types since they’re not pervasive.

The killer feature is global type inference. I pretty much prototype in Elm as fast (or faster) than any dynamic language, and when the code compiles it’s free of runtime error except at the boundaries (i.e JS interop). This allows me to focus on fixing error arising from my misundetstanding of the problem (and my general incompentence).
Is Redux a TS native library? Angular has typing issues of its own, e.g. Forms are typed with 'any', no easy access to certain HTMLElements' properties, etc., but the rest is okay. (Meaning hard to do bad things without early warning/failure during compilation.)
What the EU regs say is that e-bikes with an engine under 250W, only pedalling assistance, and whose assistance cuts off above 25km/h must be considered bicycles (with all that implies with respect to legal registration, insurance requirements, available paths, …).

That's pretty much it. Nothing precludes having further categories of ebikes or mopeds, or treating more ebikes as bicycles. That is up to member states.

What is not is e.g. saying that all ebikes are legally mopeds requiring wearing a motorbike helmet and registration plates.
MIT is launching a dystopian internet game on Halloween called 'BeeMe'
When some friends and I visited the Amazon Go store in Seattle, we tried multiple different ways to fool the cameras, such as putting the bag over the item on the shelf, or picking it up from the shelf, placing it back on the wrong aisle, and then another person picking it up. We mentioned it openly to the employees. Employees in the store couldn't care less, they were just busy restocking and making the aisles look organized. There must have been human review of our movements on camera though, because my friends who didn't mess around got their receipts immediately when they left the shop whereas mine took half an hour to arrive.

It doesn't just lend itself, it exists for that express purpose.

The problem is people using Twitter as a primary venue for discourse which need more context or nuance than the platform allows.

I saw the original article when it came up at https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=18303019 a couple of days ago. M. Siebenmann is articulating part of one of the points that I was going to raise.

For what it's worth, the nosh doco does try to articulate the difference between the dependencies of wants/, conflicts/, et al. and the ordering relationships of before/ and after/. The former control the extent of the set of jobs that system-control constructs for an action, whilst the latter control the order that the jobs in that set are then executed in.

That title is very non-descriptive or, at worst, misleading. I thought it would be about an Internet overlay network or something. Repository's description is Convolutional Neural Networks, so perhaps the title could be "Pjreddie/darknet: Convolutional Neural Networks"?

> a pair of five-millimeter pins on the mounting platform for DUS sensors are designed to help the technician in the correct placement of instruments, however with a certain effort it is possible to mount the sensor without those pins fitting into their holes and still attach it securely with fasteners. Moreover, it was possible to insert all incoming color-coded cables in their correct sockets, despite a wrong position of DUS sensors.

There are 3 failures here: the fasteners were still able to be fastened, the cables were long enough to fit on the wrong side, and the inspector who signed off on it didn't inspect it.

Yes, I'm being picky and pedantic, but that's necessary for flight critical hardware.

And oddly enough the ones that get kicked out from other networks are the ones repeatedly targeted by people like Asparagirl. Their mission is quite obviously to completely erase anyone who doesn't share their same set of hates and out-groups from the internet: first, get them kicked off the big platforms, then try to choke off payment processing to smaller platforms.

Then they sit back and wonder how they can get those people at the ballot box too.

I don't know how this ends, but people like Asparagirl are clearly the sort of people Trump means when he talks about mobs. They will presumably never stop trying to shut down anyone she identifies as an enemy. This probably ends with some sort of legislative solution, in the long run.

There are actually two problems here:

1. Bing allowing malicious ads

2. Edge not marking malicious sites

Problem #1 has nothing to do with Edge (other than Edge using Bing by default) and I’m sure Google may let malicious ads through from time to time.

But problem #2 is entirely Edge.
