> ...and from what I can tell, their online account security is craptastic.

I'm not convinced that their offline security is good, either.

I sometimes will pick up my Surface Pro 4 and disconnect it from the charger. Disconnecting from the charger usually (but not always...not sure what determines it) wakes it. It then turns on their equivalent of Apple's Face ID, and tries to log in.

Sometimes I don't actually want that yet, as I just picked it up to take it somewhere else. So I'll hit the power button to put it back to sleep. The screen blanks...and then sometimes it quickly comes back, logged in.

The thing is I've sometimes had it do this when I've been careful to have my face out of view, holding it so I can only barely see the screen around the edge to see if disconnecting power will wake it up and I'll need to hit power to put it back to sleep.

This doesn't happen all the time, but it has happened several times, leading me to wonder if there is some sort of glitch if you interrupt a face-based login attempt at just the right time via the power button causing it to think it logged in.

Anyone else seen this?

> Think of how transformative that Yale slot could’ve been to someone not standing on a multi-billion dollar pile.

Statistically speaking, isn't it likely that someone that gets into Yale also gets into another elite school? Not defending it but most people "close" to getting into one (waitlisted, etc) end up getting into another. It's only "transformative" for someone that's not even close to getting in (like myself), but even that's hazy.

It is the inevitable logical extension of current society's view on sexual relationship (consent based).

No, it's not; a consent based view does not logically imply that children are capable of consent; in fact, the view that intoxication, mental disability, and other factors can make adults incapable of consent at least strongly supports an approach where children (to, perhaps, an age above the common ages of consent) ought to be viewed as at least presumptively, and possibly conclusively, unable to consent to sex; the dominant legal position is consistent in outline, though there may be room to debate the particular details.

> A better and more defensible stance is the one Catholic's have (Humanae Vitae).

Humanae Vitae didn't even reflect the most defensible stance within the Catholic intelligentsia, which is why the Pope had to dump the position adopted by the Second Vatican Council workgroup on the topic to issue it, and why the document is widely disregarded by the faithful and even large segments of the clergy and even heirarchy (see, e.g., the Declaration of Königstein).
Whoops! You are correct.
Wow, how can people with normal income families even compete with these very wealth applicants for spots in the Ivy League? They can create such out sized extra curricular activities for themselves that just dwarf everything.
A gear is a lever which uses a wheel to apply continuous leverage - I would say using wheels as force multipliers is a considerable jump in cleverness than just using them to roll around
As a happy Win8 user, that's exactly the reason why I switched from Win10 to Linux. Many offline functions need online to perform. It is sad.
You capture the nuance by saying usually.

Many people, logically, would arrive to this conclusion. When the treatment starts, one is even energized. Then, in the middle a person regrets being so optimistic at all. They find their assumption of life being better than death more naive than they could have imagined.

It's not just the treatment. It is the wider picture of your life stopping. And within that context your body, deteriorating, is only one component.
Yeah, thanks for looking deeper into it. I found before that I could do it by running my own DNS server (like dnsmasq) on the local device (so I could do it no problem on my laptop), but that isn't easy on a phone.
All too common. I’m still dependent on a drug which was meant to be temporary but I was given such a high dose it permanently altered me. I’ve spent years tapering down and looking at another year to finally get off it, with no underlying issue anymore. Painfully slow, tedious, and maddening at times. I’m sorry you had to go through that.
Housing sure is an election issue it's pretty much 0% vacancy here (acutual is 0.2%) on PEI in Charlottetown. Airbnb causing "renovictions" and it's impossible to find a place to live if you do you're soon forced out. There are quite a few college students that study here too they arrive looking for a place.

Of the total population here 50% of people live in the capital city. It's getting to the point where everyone will have to move 30 minutes to an hour away.

There was a story in the local paper about a front porch being offered for rent. Living in someone's front porch! I think someone actually took the offer.

The 30 year mortgage reminds me of a former co-worker who got a brand new truck. His salary was half what I made and he worked four days per week. The dealership had a seven year payment plan. My co-worker friend thought that was a great deal. I just shook my head.

Meanwhile, the Linux world is wasting its biggest opportunity to take over the desktop space.

IMO, Unintuitive interfaces (e.g. Gnome shell), forced package management (as opposed to decentralized distribution of apps) and lack of care for graphic design are the biggest things keeping the masses away from the Linux desktop, because in other areas (speed, robustness, privacy, control) it just blows Windows out of the water.

All of these are highly controversial opinions, many Linux advocates think they are not problems, but I think they really are.
Looks like this guy is on someone's radar now. But before you flag this, I think what makes his videos hilarious is that like a great comic, while not telling the 100% true story, there is often some deep truth behind the gag.
Well I don't doubt you know more about it than I do, but I recall research that, for example, people who worked on farms in Bavaria as children had fewer allergies later in life, than those who did not. So, while it is certainly possible to get allergic to something later, it might suggest that your early-life immune system learning of "how weird is too weird" could conceivably have an impact.

But, it is not my field.

For very large CSV files you cant use excel or libre office because they cannot even open the files. Instead you just use bash tools like awk, sed, grep to get what you need. Even for moderately large CSV files these tools are miles faster than GUI applications.

Bazille can't really be compared to the DX7. It's really its own thing, and cannot replicate DX7 patches. It's built around phase distortion of tradition oscillator waveforms, not phase modulation of sine waves, like the DX7. It also only has 4 oscillators, which are not analogous to DX7 operators, traditional ADSR envelopes, and also does traditional subtractive filtering. Dexed, FM8, or Operator though, yes for sure.
I have long banned Windows 10 from my computers; I only use it in VMs now. If you desperately need Windows functionality for something but would rather use Linux, you may be in luck; there's quite a few options for GPU passthrough these days. If you're on a laptop you can even share your Intel GPU through GVT-g.

For me, I am lucky. Wine and Steam Proton run basically anything I'd care to run anymore. I use only Linux for work, as well.

I hope it's really worth it for them, because I've probably passed the last time I will ever consider running Windows until I'm in the ground, at this point. It's annoying, vexacious, constantly regressive, and almost literally never improves on this. From forcing you to have Candy Crush to switching your browser to Edge every update, Windows 10 is a piece of shit.
Red Star OS might cut down on the spying, marginally.

Even if you don’t, it can cause such a condition. My immune system “boosted” itself into erathyma multiforme during a nasty cold and that particular issue persisted for years even after the cold was long gone.

Our immune systems are fantastically complicated, probably more complex a defense system than the entire US military with hundreds of millions of years of evolutionary pressure.
I'm in the market for a new TV. I'm impressed by display technology advances, but everything else about TV manufacturers is unimpressive. i.e. all the "smart" software, the OS, menus, apps, apps, and more apps. And surveillance. No thanks. Please give me compliant HDMI, USB, and other connections and let me feed sources of my choosing to your display controller.

My intention is to keep my TV offline right from the start, but maybe I'm screwing myself out of useful (display) firmware updates?

> In general I have a positive opinion about what MS is doing lately, but Windows is a glaring exception, it’s getting worse and worse at an alarming rate.

Ayup. Win10 finally broke the camel's back and I started the process of figuring out how to transfer as much as we can to Linux.

The hardest part is that our embedded development stuff is all Windows. :( I've been trying to get VSCode, Segger, and embedded boards to play nice together. I haven't been sufficiently successful that I could start pushing it onto the dev team yet.
I have empathy for the illness but the author seems to lack appreciation for the incredible system working to keep her alive. The article is sad for the illness and also is a polemic against the capitalist system that allows her to survive whatsoever.

It was on the front page for quite a while. But more importantly, HN was really founded as a place for folks interested in startups rather than open source, and I suspect most folks here find a lot of the open source folks to be kind of cringeworthy in general. E.g. unlike Slashdot readers, I doubt most people here really want to be associated with folks like ESR or RMS.

In practice, the purpose of the question is to weed out people who don't display a particular level of commitment to the organization. Allow the company to take over your social life makes it harder for you to leave the organization. I've definitely had experiences where I've stayed in bad jobs longer than I should have (at a cost to my health and sanity) because I liked my co-workers.
What would you do if your doctor found a cancer and refused to treat it? What do you think most people would do? I reckon most people would shop around until they found a doctor that would treat it. Even if they followed the doctor’s advice, the knowledge they have cancer might be incredibly stressful and distressing.

On a population-wide scale, ignorance may be the best option right now.
There are hundreds of companies that make or have made ARM cores, here are a few off of the top of my head: Intel, Xilinx, STMicro, NXP, silicon labs, broadcom, qualcomm, Samsung, Atmel (now microchip), etc etc.
I am a pancreatic cancer survivor. It is considered incurable in 2019 and I'm here because of a 1930s era surgery called a Whipple procedure. Around 9% survive five years or more -- a number that hasn't really changed.

In a belt plus suspenders move I underwent 2 rounds (six infusions per round) of chemo plus 28 consecutive weekdays of radiation after surgery. All my doctors are amazed at my recovery, a few saying the best they've seen (though it came with diabetes and a different digestive pathway).

Chemo was awful. Mine came with a bag of steroids first to mask the effects for a few days. I scheduled my sessions for Thursday, knowing it wouldn't hit me until Friday night. One Saturday I slept around 20 hours.

However, by the end we had figured out how to minimize the effect of the chemo. I needed my wife who watched me diligently. Cancer is not a one person job! She made sure every time I opened my eyes I stayed hydrated and ate something.

Chemo should have gotten worse. It actually got easier.

My cancer never caused me pain. The treatment... that's another story. I left the hospital with my belly held together by 16 staples.
It's a poor excuse if they did not list those skills as required. People need a reason to reject and will use a variety reasons that may not apply or matter for the job you are applying for as long as it sounds good on paper.
And? That is what you feel. What guarantees do we have?
Your conclusion is correct, but the reason I take issue is that that’s not the thesis of OP. OP’s original subject/headline suggests that, or questions why, Rust is generally slow vs PHP, and uses a regex example as the “proof”. A person who didn’t read the Reddit comments, or who is less versed in critical thinking, may accept the example as a valid proof of the thesis, instead of simply noting the fact that Rust may not be as good at regex as it is at other things. If the Reddit subject was “Rust is worse than PHP at regex”, nobody would bat an eyelid and the resulting conversational threads would have a different tenor (and your conclusion would and should be the same).
Even people who are bad at their jobs are real people. We can’t assume that everyone of low intelligence or motivation is sub human. Just say agency and authority, that made your point.

I have used the Z3 solver(https://github.com/Z3Prover/z3) to optimize a job scheduling problem. Roughly, I have ~20k jobs, defined by N tasks (~1-50). A job is complete only if M tasks (typically 2-3) per job are done. Every task takes some variable amount of time to complete and can only be run during specific windows. Given the equipment can only perform P tasks in parallel, what is the optimal configuration of tasks (~500k) that will allow us to complete the most jobs?

The search space for this problem is enormous, but Z3 will produce an impressive result within a few minutes.
What I meant was, human capriciousness is hard to model and they change their initial premises on a whim. Especially in academic environments.

On the other hand, military and hospital applications won't show that weakness.

I am not even sure why Windows matters anymore. MS probably gives 0 fucks about your usual consumers and cares only about those customers who will also buy Office365 subscription.
Plastic is a broad category. Each polymer has very different properties. Some are very strong and stable, and pose no known health risks. Others are brittle and apparently leach microplastics or nanoplastics.
I've worked and have been mentored by a lot of great engineers, they have a few things in common:

1. They all happen to be a bit older 34+ (early 30s being the minimum)

2. They model their problems before writing code.

3. How they debug problems with a very workman-like, structured approach.

4. Write well and efficiently.

Emacs is a core project and is being heavily developed. Version 27 is about to be released soon.
They do. I work in a very large corp. 25k+ employees, 5bn+ net revenue per year.

Everything developed native cloud, all our offices are rented. We basically do everything we can to reduce capital expenditures.
As much as I hate to say it, Windows is a pretty good environment to do every day developer things + more.

I keep thinking about the eventual replacement for my MacBook Pro. Every time I hear something like this, every time I see MS's open source contributions, etc. I keep thinking about Windows as a replacement.

At the top of the list of reasons why that's unlikely to happen is shit like these dark patterns to enforce invasive telemetry. I don't care how good WSL is, I don't want to be spied on or coerced into allowing spyware to run.

The rest of the list is mostly: I don't believe/agree with you. I've used chocolataey (ugh), and I don't want to do all of my development in a VM. I recently set up a Win 7 VM to get a small C# library built. Turns out it was easier to build it on my Mac and copy it over.

Other than bullshit telemetry and forced updates

Let me stop you right there. I'm not going to consider anything with forced spyware and forced updates. Until those are fixed I don't care about the rest.
That's basically what I do. I don't let my TV connect to the net. But according to this twitter thread, that doesn't matter much, as my Roku is regurgitating my data all over the place anyway...
I wonder how many people have unkind memories of their kindergarten teacher?

Mine had us color a bunny rabbit. I grabbed a crayon (purple) and colored it. I think I had seen a rabbit on Sesame Street of that color, and the 8 crayon pack doesn't allow for subtlety. She grabbed it from me, threw it in the garbage, and told me to color another one because that isn't a "proper color" for a rabbit. I slid the paper back and said something to the effect it's already colored because bunnies are white. Spent the rest of the hour sitting in a chair in the corner staring at the wall. Dad was "concerned" when he picked me up, and laughing in the truck. I was just very angry.

I can only imagine what a points system would have done to me in school. I'd of probably been done in 1st grade because of that stupid volcano.

Trying to help my wife through chemo now, and the staying hydrated and eating something is kicking our butts. Her oncologist believes that her nausea is due to directly to disease progression and it's relentless.

We're now on a regimen of phenergen every 6 hours but that just prevents cyclic nausea from occurring AND it knocks her out to where she's sleeping at least 20 hrs a day. Then when she wakes up she can only eat a little bit or she'll throw it back up. For hydration we finally just got home health giving her a liter twice a week plus a liter at chemo once a week.

She just recently over the past day or two has started to be able to hold a bit more down, but she's essentially got a form of PTSD from throwing up 5-10 times a day for 2-3 months.

Congrats to you on beating it man, especially pancreatic. This stuff really sucks.
