I was thinking about ordering one, but out of the Boox note and the sony devices, I ruled out the remarkable first. I can't remember why, but you can search reviews for yourself.

I choose the boox note over the sony because it's more fully featured (e.g. better web browsing). I don't regret buying it. The only problem is that you need to use a screen protector to prevent scratching from the stylus, but the screen protector is impossible to place without air bubbles. Eventually I decided that the air bubbles weren't a big deal.
I tried it and give up, simply I slow to a point of feel frustration and hacker's keyboard is not comfortable for the rest of the phone usage.

Consider that on desktop I live in Emacs, I live with a keyboard (and struggle to find one modern that can really properly replace my ancient Sun type 6 with backlit as a bonus...).

My Android usage is simply:

- GPS when I travel

- mobile quick mail surveillance, not for writing only just to see incoming messages

- make/answer phone calls

- casual SMS usage

- casual reading of grocery list or similar notes (Orgzly)

nothing more. I can't imaging writing a mail, not even code with a touch crappyboard!!!
> Everybody is a photographer today

And everybody is a band today too. Doesn't mean we shouldn't respect their right to be paid for their work, no matter how "replaceable" they are.
You sound burned out.
Well, this goes to show that being technically correct only goes so far.

> “no band wants to have photographers on site who later send such threatening correspondence to monetise on their images.”

Not surprising. Photographer has the prerogative of producing copyright images, they just "forgot" that taking pictures of concerts is half the story. I'm not surprised the band acted like they acted, they probably get a lot of those as well.

It's like the recruiters that find a CV on the internet then try to apply as the person and charge a fee.
Came here to comment on C. IMHO it remains a gem in the space of languages, probably because it remains small and simple. It has many warts, but it does not suffer in the way C++ does.

People claim Rust is a better C++ and as from my outsider point of view it looks like it is. One of my fears is that it will follow C++ down the very road the author is concerned about.
>AE behaved like total jerks but they are a mainstream pop metal band, so it's not really surprising.

It's a little weird that they got so vitriolic in defense of a sponsor, having no stake in it themselves. Not extremely weird, but a little weird.
Please provide a source for your claim regarding the alleged increased temperature.

I was in a hospital in Singapore recently, and the prices for doctor consultation fees, staying in a room, and even certain tests were listed right at the front of the emergency room desk.

After the patient I was with was stabilized, the nurse confirmed with us verbally what the rough cost should be for the rest of what the doctor prescribed, and asked if we wished to proceed. We could have said no and gone elsewhere if we wanted, since the patient at least was relatively stable and we knew what was wrong.

I want this experience to be the norm in the USA.

I upgraded from MBP 2012 to the 15" 2015 version the last year. I'm sure 2k15 will be fine for a while, but this is unsustainable with the direction Apple computers are going. It's more expensive than ever; in Europe, I paid 2300 USD for the baseline 2k15 15" MBP; that's just crazy to me, and the baseline newest 15" MBP model goes for 3000 USD.

Also, their anti-consumer practices, such as simply selling keyboards they know will break (and that are also bad! I thought the 2k15 keyboard was already bad compared to the 2k12 non-retina MBP), and not repairing anything in their MBP (check Louis Rossmann's Apple videos), are just a signal for me that the MBPs are not for power users.

At work, I use the X1 Carbon 6th gen with Linux on it, and though I really like OSX, the hardware is starting to be nothing but farce. For that, I think I'll happily buy some Lenovo/Dell as my next personal laptop, and simply fiddle with Linux.

2/3 of the price of a MBP for the same HW at the cost of spending a bit more time with the OS is acceptable to me, personally.
Shown HN: Überzug – show images in terminals
What Kagglers Are Using for Text Classification
They are in demand. He is (apparently) not.
It's the bias in guessing that matters, not the bias in generation.

If nobody ever guessed 000, or it was guessed exactly 0.1% of the time, it wouldn't be insecure for 90% of people to have a secret number of 000.

At the other extreme, if 90% of people guess 000, then it's insecure to have a secret number of 000, even if it was perfectly randomly generated.

People can learn about biases in generation, and use that to inform their guesses. So biases in generation indirectly matter. But inherent biases in guessing are just as important. Being a perfect RNG is not enough if your keyspace is small.

Ueberzug aims to implement a general easy way to show images in terminal emulators in X11.
(regardless of whether or not a terminal emulator supports it)

Libraries:

- bash

- python3.5+

Advantages to w3mimgdisplay:

- no race conditions as a new window is created to display images

- expose events will be processed, so images will be redrawn on switching workspaces

- tmux (partly) supported

- terminals without the WINDOWID environment variable are supported

- chars are used as position - and size unit, so it's easier to place a image on the desired position
> The problem is that they let him take pictures of them in the first place without any restrictions.

I don't think that was the problem.
I work for Booking.com (in areas unrelated to this, mainly Git infra these days) and have forwarded this as a bug report to the relevant internal channels.

Some brief digging reveals that the most likely cause is some combination of casting a "000" CVC to a "0" int before a subsequent boolean test (most of this is Perl), or some form validation using PositiveInt etc.

I can't comment on what OP on Stack Exchange was told as an explanation other than to say that I think in general customer support at large organizations is going to have a hard time with the triage of customer issues to determine if they're internal software bugs or not.

I myself have tried reporting probably 10-20 things I 100% knew to be software bugs to various companies through the years, almost never getting through front-line support, and usually finding someone via IRC/Twitter or mailing something like security@.
US is a great country for many things, but having any serious health problem putting you in financial jeopardy (or throwing you in an inextricable administrative maze to dodge high and cryptic charges) in ridiculous for a "great" country.

Having a life-threatening condition is already scary enough that you don't also have to dread bankruptcy at the same time.
Almost all of the value of a photo taken close up at a concert like this derives from the band rather than the photographer. The photographer is infinitely more substitutable. The photo is normally only interesting to people who are interested in the band, rather than for the craft of the photo itself.

Legally, the photographer in this story is correct. But I think he's dealing in absolutes in a situation where the economics are strongly in the band's favour. The band would be much better off with photographers that signed over copyright and it's not difficult for them to get that, because they're adding most of the value. The fact that they didn't, and permitted this chap to take the photos he did, is IMO down to them not having had this experience before. Now they have, and perhaps they'll be smarter about it going forward.
This is easy to dismiss with the wide spread use of digital tools, but something about doing this seems to be deeply beneficial. And the bullet journaling technique specifically is surprisingly flexible and effective. I think some of it’s features could be transferred into our digital tools.
Second that. Markdown is about lightweight, requiring just a text editor and a few neurons to memorize the markup.

Markdown already handles 'attachments' via tag for image or HTML anchor for other file types. Prettify via CSS.

Global search and replace indeed needs an extra effort. If faced with such a need, I'd just use any of active IDEs already installed, well, Atom should do.
a few years ago, a few friends camped in my home while the CCC was ongoing on the other side of the planet, and every day we'd pick the most interesting talks and then download and watch them together.

Can we talk about the awful video compression on Twitter and how the only workaround to Twitter shitting on your video is to submit it as a perfectly crafted gif which takes dozens of trial and error iterations to produce?

It's 2019. Every other media sharing site on the planet is friendlier to preserving video quality than Twitter is. For a platform which carries so much programming\technical content, having video compression set to 'DESTROY ANY KIND OF PIXEL LEVEL DETAIL' is super painful. I can't be the only user that stopped uploading video content because of the effort involved in hand-crafting Twitter gifs.

Everything that can be achieved with these specially produced gifs could also be achieved by simply upping video quality for small videos. Plus removing the insanity of creating such content. Plus actually saving bandwidth since gifs are super wasteful.

There's a whole category of articles about how to 'trick' Twitter into preserving the quality of your image or video upload. That's insane. Define and publish some compression specs at which you won't destroy the content.

I'm up voting your comment, people on this site can be ridiculous.
I'm sorry, but demand and supply does not dictate how copyright ownership works. Are you implying that it's okay for me to torrent Arch Enemy's music just because they're not in as much demand as say mainstream pop music?
> Everybody is a photographer today

Everybody has a device that can take photos - that doesn't make them photographers. The difference between a seasoned concert photographer and a fan with a phone is quite immense.

I don't argue with the sponsor part though, however, the new world order of "sponsored" things is making me skeptical - see https://www.theatlantic.com/technology/archive/2018/12/influ...

What is the Correct way to wear Surgical Mask
I see a lot of people in this thread that view band photographers as disposable chaff that don't deserve the same copyright protection as everyone else, but I doubt that anyone would want to take legal rights away from migrant fruit pickers in California. Migrant fruit pickers are very replaceable, so that doesn't add up.

Edit: In response to the shadowbanned comment that I can't reply to, I don't think there is a line beyond which extremely poor economic negotiation power crosses over into reduced status in the legal system in any court system or even moral system in the world... Except for metal band photographers, apparently. (With the possible second exception of third world countries.)
Legally speaking, the photographer is completely within his rights.

The band is also within their rights to ban him from their shows because they disagree with the way he uses his legal authority.

Personally, I find the idea that the photographer has more right to a photo than the subject ethically repugnant.

If you came up, took a photo of me, and used it to make money on your Instagram, and then sent settlement letters to people associated with me for using it you'd be asking for a broken nose if I ever laid eyes on you again, legal right or not.
IBM‘s Project Debater does debate club-style discussions with humans
It’s really not in this context. The median household vis-a-vis income isn’t necessarily the median household vis-a-vis health consumption. More generally, health spending is massively subsidized by society writ large. Society’s willingness and capacity to pay is much better indicated by average income than the income of the median household (never mind issues pertaining to measurement of the income distribution within countries!). Furthermore, the vast majority of health expenditures in most high-income countries are spent on a small fraction of the population in any given year (those that are very sick, badly injured, etc.)
I work with somewhat dated MX credit card processing terminals at times, tied to Chase. When manually entering a card number for a correction (such as refund for a double charge ) or adjusting a charge, 000 works just fine as running it manually without the chip aspect doesn’t really need the correct Code.

Not really related, but, most merchants can process payment with or without the code. It really just becomes a compliance issue.

Use projectors or LED tiles to do what?

The problem is American football is played on artificial grass, and Association football is played on real grass. No amount of projectors or LED tiles will switch between those two, will they?

How do you change artificial grass to real grass without any mechanics?
Just out of curiosity: have you tried calling your insurance to ask them where you should go?

I haven't either, and have generally gone by your route of asking the hospital whether it will be insured, but I'd imagine calling insurance (if a feasible option?) would provide a lower rate of error.

Here's one competitor to Patreon. They were effectively shut down by VISA refusing to process payments for them. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hatreon

Here's another competitor to Patreon. They have been crippled by PayPal and Stripe refusing to process payments for them. They sound optimistic about finding replacement payment processors, and it's certainly their duty to their customers to try their best, but so far it hasn't happened. https://www.subscribestar.com/posts/5617

Elsewhere in this thread there are people pointing to indications that Patreon's banning choices were due to pressure from their own payment processors.

It's probably easy to create a Patreon competitor. If you want it to not get shut down, though, I imagine you'll have to implement ban policies at least as strict as Patreon itself. So maybe Patreon isn't a monopoly, but on the other hand, it doesn't make sense to say "It's fine if Patreon chooses whatever policies they like because, if the policies are bad, you can just start up a competitor with better policies".

The relevant monopolies/oligopolies seem to be the payment processors.
For your whataboutism to be valid, everyone in the world would need to have their own personal fruit replication device in their pocket. In that case, no, we really don’t need migrant fruit pickers in California anymore.
You have a valid point indeed.

I don't want to believe real data, I will keep my prejudices.

Is like that how it works?
Well... Unix bring the idea of being a "base platform" for third party software using simple IPC as a way to integrate any different kind of software. This work well in many case, but can't really scale so I consider UNIX model as a good model for "embedded devices" nothing more. Today's unix, only with X prove that unix model does not exists anymore.

Emacs bring the idea that there is no real distinction between application, OS, data whatever, we need a completely integrated computing environment that act "uno animo" easy bent and build for anyone by anyone. This works really well, but in academia, so in a super-slowly evolving environment because the level of complexity needed to realize such idea in practice is so high that's demand decades only to create a desktop... That's why Emacs while keep evolving and even after decades it's still on the scene, it shine or better as someone say it outshine other software like the sun outshine night stars, but it suffer it's own architecture being nearly unable to really radically evolve...

I hope for a distant future with a GuixSD OS, perhaps based on Plan9 (more interest IMO than Hurd), that boot directly into Emacs instead of a shell and anything is done with Guile Scheme so I can really see and use a LispMachine in the present (future) but it's a dream I do not really think it can ever arrive...

The pilots, as part of the 737 type rating requirements, were surely exposed to the QRH checklist for runaway stabilizer, the first page of which is here: http://static-s3.sokoloff.com/flying/other/other/737-QRH-Run...

The Emergency Airworthiness Directive issued after Lion Air 610 crash was, in summary, "Pilots, remember that there is a runaway stabilizer QRH response and pilots should follow that when indicated."

If you're arguing that the pilots didn't know about the possibility of runaway trim, I don't find that very likely. If you're arguing that they didn't specifically know that MCAS could cause runaway trim, I probably agree but think it's irrelevant as the response to runaway trim is not to diagnose or draw the system diagram of the fault, but rather to simply stop the fault, which the stock 737 checklist would have accomplished, if followed.
I am wondering - did they even wave their rights away for commercial use by letting that guy take pictures of them?

The way I am seeing is that he is trying to make money off them without compensating them as his 'models'.
I'm not GP, but I believe they were referring to the fact that the syntax for destructuring is visually very similar to the syntax for object literals, which makes it easier to make mistakes while reading code in a hurry or as a newcomer to the language.
Okay.

First, I was talking about useful definitions of thread safety. That was language-agnostic, not related to Rust. And if absence of data races were all that Rust guaranteed, then Rust indeed wouldn't be much of a help. What Rust actually does is require you to be (fairly) explicit about threads interacting with each other, which is a much stronger type of guarantee [1]. Rust comes with a default setting derived from the general shared-xor-mutable principle that threads don't mess with each other's data without permission, which makes it easier to reason about thread interaction.

Second, the OP was comparing Rust to actor languages. Actor languages also don't have data races and don't require mutexes (because the memory spaces of actors are disjoint and actors themselves are sequential). In fact, actor languages provide even stronger guarantees, as actors can only interact with each other at well-defined points. "Fearless concurrency" hails back to the 1970s. It is not a new invention, nor is it unique to Rust. It is great that Rust supports it, but I really wish people would stop talking about it being novel and unique.

[1] Which is not to say that Rust's choices don't come with tradeoffs, but then, in the area of concurrency, you cannot realistically avoid tradeoffs. In Rust's case, as with actors, the primary tradeoff is performance for safety.

"Imgur doesn’t subscribe to free speech absolutism: Its moderators believe some things don’t belong on the site’s public forums, and so the offending content gets removed without much deliberation." (I'm not sure if I believe this one)

It's effectively the image hosting site for reddit. The challenge in this market is making enough money and managing the moderation; all the addictiveness and "social" is outsourced to other sites.

On the other hand, Intel tried lots of (slightly slower) cores with the Phi series - And part of the reason for dropping/sidelining was that although they are an interesting platform for experiments, nobody could work out how to effectively use that many parallel cores with all of the other constraints, like memory bandwidth.
