How about using ninite.com for managing popular Windows downloads?

Ninite has decent corporate adoption by now. You could even push them towards Ninite Pro.
For the same reason there's hostility (aka "drama") in all communities.

An unwillingness to listen, a rush to get an adrenaline hit from posting hate, an anger over not being the one with your name in lights.

While race argument seems kind of neat, it's just correlation. Being black <-> crime.

With DUI, there's a clear causation. Alcohol in blood will make you lose coordination and slow your reflexes. More alcohol, the worse it gets. And reaction is individual. That will increase the probability the driver will harm someone.

So it's different.

Should government deal in probabilities? Depends whether you want it to do prevention or not. All prevention is basically dealing with probabilities.

> why not ticket the swerving or recklessness and leave the alcohol out of it? Why indeed.

Argument ad absudrum: Swerving may not lead to an accident either.

What happens to such a smart lock if it loses access to electric power (or internet access if it needs one)? Is there a key backup? Do you get locked out of your home if you don't have said backup key with you?
Python supports those by prefacing with "__", IIRC.
What should I do in Go or C if I want a red-black tree? As far as I know, my options are:

- Download one that uses interface{} / void pointers - okay, but not very efficient or type-safe.

- Download one that's intrusive - okay, but pretty convoluted.

- Write my own - a pain.

- Code generation - generics but worse.

(This isn't sarcastic.)
Yeah good luck with that.

Problem is, time is just _one_ variable. It's possible to hit every estimate spot-on, if you allow the other variables to change wildly (number of bugs, completeness of features etc). It's kind of like in quantum mechanics, where by knowing one property of a particle, you have to let go of all the others (maybe).

Anyway, I blogged about this a lot here, if it is any use: https://riskfirst.org/Estimates

It seems wrong-headed to be insisting on this, so maybe education is the answer?

Giving work to immigrants. What a bastard. Everybody knows that Americans are better and more important then those dirty immigrants. They should only be allowed to get work if all white Americans already have jobs.

The patient is alive and well, but her underlying illness (cystic fibrosis) is life-limiting; most CF patients die before the age of fifty and this treatment won't significantly change that life expectancy.
"The hard part" can still be outsourced to a third party without resorting to redirection chains, either by sending the click information to them on the server-side or by sending it client side using a script.

I don't like downvoting people but in this case your comment adds literally nothing to the conversation.

While I can wholeheartedly agree that golang has features, and in some cases absence of features, which make it less than ideal for some things. However, writing off a whole language, created by people who are no doubt smarter than you, is pretty silly.
Well, I think most of us make due with just buying ingredients that aren't poisonous when we cook (with the assurance in part coming from independent quality control of said ingredients).

But I'm sure I must have missed why this general principle couldn't be used for other things that we don't want to be toxic.
I guess I am just a bit more optimistic about Mozilla as a company than you might be. Sure they could abuse the study mechanism to spy on people and hack my browser. I just assume that they have neither the motivation nor the lack of ethics to do so. And I have automatic updates enabled anyway, so they can already install whatever binaries they want on my machine.

The other thing is that it's not like there are many other options for me. The only mainstream browsers I could realistically use are Chrome, Firefox and Edge. Out of those I think Firefox probably cares the most about my privacy.

Not sure why they are downvoting you, but it's the main version right now - mistakes of the pilots.

"Lock bumping takes only an instant to open the lock. The lock is not visibly damaged, although the force of the bump can leave an indentation on the front of the cylinder."

Read the actual article then. It's a criticism that the federal government doesn't have this right from the constitution.

It also explains that in the case of drunk driving what's criminalized isn't harm to people, but an increased potential to harm people. If you have principles that say that racial profiling is wrong because you shouldn't punish people that haven't harmed anybody, then this principle should also apply to drunk driving.

Note that I am against drunk driving, but it does cause an inconsistency in my principles.

Also, isn't it silly to dismiss mises articles because a person posted an article in 2006? Would you think it's fair if somebody dismissed all of your opinions going forward because of one opinion you held in 2006?
The average lock around here can be trivially bumped and slightly-less-trivially picked. I wouldn't say your front door lock is the first lock you should try to pick, but it's definitely the second.

Large apartment buildings of the size this article is about sometimes use better locks. I had a Medeco on one apartment I rented many years ago, but that's the best I've ever seen. Right now, I have a Schlage lock that can be picked in seconds. It's not hard. Americans do not buy elaborate locks. $10 is out of our price range, it seems.

> With DUI, there's a clear causation. Alcohol in blood will make you lose coordination and slow your reflexes. More alcohol, the worse it gets. And reaction is individual. That will increase the probability the driver will harm someone.

The values they use to punish you is completely arbitrary (probably varies from state to state) and we do not take any other factors related to the individual into account which is important if we are not so keen on ruining other people's lives. Look for behaviors that show there are issues with coordination regardless of substances. We can do that. We already do it. We do not need to punish based on arbitrary values. You could fail the test and yet have perfect coordination. See my issue? It gets even more problematic when you consider alcoholics who are actually better off drinking vs. not drinking when it comes to coordination and reflexes. Anyway, the emphasis, in my opinion, should be on behaviors that indicate loss of coordination, reflex issues, etc. not some arbitrary value. It works well with prevention, too, so there is no need to give up on that.

> Argument ad absudrum: Swerving may not lead to an accident either.

I agree, but depending on the situation, it could easily indicate that there is an issue regardless of the substance used.

Anyway, thank you for the calm-headed response.
I don’t agree that 2D is harder than 3D. Regardless on what you count, a page of text is much simpler to render than a frame in modern videogame. Even if you don’t cache TTF glyph textures.

I think it’s just legacy. For many decades before modern GPUs, 2D graphics was done in certain ways. People accumulated experience, wrote books, taught stuff to students in university.

Then modern GPUs happened, but initially only gamers and 3D graphics professionals had them, so 2D programmers couldn’t care less, their users just didn’t have hardware for GPU-based rendering. I think it was only around 2008-10 when non-game developers could finally use GPUs without sacrificing users base, and even at that time it meant “DX9 GPU” so no geometry or compute shaders.

I think people will adjust after a while. Professors teaching 2D graphics will stop talking about moveto/lineto and start talking about submitting triangles and writing shaders.

Ask HN: What terminals support overline attribute?
I like my status lines to have a line above them rather than a different background or something like that. I know VTE and Konsole based terminals support the ECMA ESC[53m attribute, but xterm, rxvt and pangoterm (which, otherwise, is pathologically accurate), along with iTerm and the built-in Terminal on Macs don't.

Are there other terminals out there that support it?

BTW, quick way to test:

python -c 'print "\nThe \033[53mtest\033[55m is done"'

Not without paying taxes you can't. The US government charges you $2000 to renounce your citizenship and if your assets are worth more than $2 million they will give you a massive tax bill as though you had sold all those assets. Furthermore, you can only renounce citizenship if you accept the citizenship of another country, which kind of defeats the point you're making - you can't actually exit the system legally.

The article focused on confusion among students learning the language.

First, imperative programming is important to learn. Understanding the stack/heap and calling conventions is important. Yes, those things are hard to learn. But once you learn them, they are not that confusing. These are significant pedagogical concerns, but I'm not sure they are so important beyond the classroom.

Second, FP is also confusing to new programmers but for different reasons. E.g. anything that requires folds is typically easier in imperative settings.
> I follow a lot of high-profile researchers at places like Nvidia, and they often discuss the desire to replace their Mac for dev purposes but have not found a quality alternative.

Frankly, though, I find Linux eminently usable and preferable to macOS or Windows.

It's becoming more and more obvious, even more so with Intel's new runtime announcement [1] that WASM will end up being everywhere. Chip manufacturer support is quite a strong signal -- not that it needed to be made.

The code-signing needs to happen through a trusted / certified timestamp server, it's not using the local timestamp. This process basically guarantees that the application used a valid certificate at the time it was signed, and that it wasn't tampered with since then.

With this, the time when code-signed application is executed doesn't matter at all, fake date or not.
Around here pin-tumbler locks haven't been used for house/apartment doors in several decades. Even the "classic" Abloy disk-detainer lock introduced in 1907 [1] is practically bump-proof, and more modern versions such as the Exec, never mind the Protec2 [2], are nigh impossible to pick without considerable skill, special-purpose tools and state-of-the-art knowledge.

> The Protec's design enables it to resist a variety of common attacks, particularly lockpicking. There are no confirmed non-destructive attacks against Protec cylinders in the public domain.[2]

When I was last renting (in the UK) I changed my locks the day I moved in, then swapped them back to the original cylinders when I left.

I thought it was pretty good practice not to have a door with an unknown number of previous tennants, cleaners, letting agents, landlords etc with access.
Big companies like Intel should be able to afford to pay technical writers whose native language is English. Consider:

> WASM is already the LLVM official backend target

This implies that the only thing LLVM compiles to is WASM.

Better would be something like "WASM is already an official LLVM backend target" or "LLVM already compiles to WASM".
The comments seem to be missing the two key aspects: accessibility and surveillance.

The smart lock requires you to have a charged, working smartphone that you can use in order to get into your own apartment. One of the claimants is 93 and lacks the manual dexterity to do that.

On top of that, smart locks can report when you enter and exit your home to the landlord; and, if under the landlord control, can provide other people with a pseudo-legitimate access to it. I don't know what the tenancy law is in NY, but in the UK this is supposed to require the permission of the tenant except in an emergency.

(Does anyone have the search expertise to find the actual case from NY public records?)

> I think people will adjust after a while. Professors teaching 2D graphics will stop talking about moveto/lineto and start talking about submitting triangles and writing shaders.

The 2D graphic system in the future will of course submit triangles and make use of shaders, but it is hard to imagine that we will be directly working with triangles. And we have taken the subtly broken scenary of raw 3D triangles granted (so far) but not tolerated jaggy 2D strokes. To resolve this dichotomy either 3D should go continuous (e.g. implicit surfaces) or 2D should go discrete as you suggest; the latter seems more unlikely.

Good idea - I did this when I bought my house but didn't bother on rental properties. "Euro Cylinder" locks are standardised and really easy to change.
But the whole argument is that buying parts/ingredients that aren't poisonous isn't enough. You still have to spend a lot of resources on testing. I think that these kinds of regulations should scale with the size of the company/revenue/profit. Smaller companies shouldn't have as great of a burden, so as to encourage competition. (There should still be punishments for them failing though. Eg you're not required to test if you're small, but you can still be punished for selling poisonous products.)
