There's nothing hippie about capitalizing on the opportunity created when a market leader alienates its customers by letting its products rot with pain points.

In some ways Google is just as sinister as Microsoft ever was. It's not any sort of intentional master plan, it's simply what happens when you lose sight of the user. Some of the crap being pulled by today's incumbents... They might as well put a little imp in the box that beats you with a whip to drive the behavior they want from you.

All of them began as tiny startups with a couple of smart people and disruptive tech... take a long enough view and I'm still optimistic the cycle will continue.

Or you can create and enforce laws that apply when they abuse their monopolies. Breaking up a company because it's above an arbitrary size threshold is a dangerous precedent, and most likely it won't even address the problem at hand.

I think you are over estimating the number of contributors an average open source project gets. Almost none of the projects go to an extend to deliberately avoid new contributors. Its really hard to get people to contribute code to most open source projects. A good maintainer is incentivized to make it easier for new contributors to contribute. Not the other way around.

If you mean lifetimes, yes you can, with the latest Visual Studio 2019, although it is WIP.

And compiling in debug does enable bounds checking for arrays, vectors and iterators invalidation.

Rust still needs to define what actually is UB in unsafe blocks, how multiple implementations might affect the language and a memory model.

Not saying that it is perfect, rather that it can be made safer than how many make use of it, which is important, because there are plenty of codebases out there that will never get rewritten into something else.
I agreed with you sort of. But as there was originally a positive view ie “For Method” not just against one in the book, may I try the problem presented by Kuhn. All institutions have built in bias. And teacher found their own similar once. Hence the paradigm. And the authority is there.

also even if there is no authority one still has to explain what we are doing here. Philosophy may not just be of philosopher. We are not Plato and Aristotle... and in fact I doubt many practitioner even listen to this speculation. but still they need to say something.

For example One may say we are trying to devise experiments to refute ... or is it really so? that is not we observe but to a certain extent per Kuhn I say not. And this popper Way and the anarchist way is just was to take about things.

Pinebook Pro – First Impressions and Setup Tips
One of the datasheets I have here says:

-----
During the initialization sequence the bus master trans-
mits (TX) the reset pulse by pulling the 1-Wire bus low
for a minimum of 480µs.
-----

There is no maximum time limit for the reset pulse.

-----
The bus master then releases
the bus and goes into receive mode (RX). When the bus
is released, the 5kΩ pullup resistor pulls the 1-Wire bus
high. When the DS18B20 detects this rising edge, it waits
15µs to 60µs and then transmits a presence pulse by pull-
ing the 1-Wire bus low for 60µs to 240µs.
-----

A tolerance of 15uS to 60uS on the device side and 60uS to 240uS on the driver side seems pretty wide to me.

Now, it's hard to actually get a good figure for these specifications because different datasheets give different values, which further suggests the tolerances are large.

Another datasheet that I have here says that the presence pulse should be sampled after 72uS. This leaves at least 12uS slack for rise times, long wires, etc.

To give an idea of whether 10uS is very long or not, remember that the cycle time on, for example, an 8MHz AVR as you might find in an Arduino, is 125nS. That gives you 80 instructions every 10uS (at the AVR8's advertised 1MIPS/MHz). This is plenty of time to implement the 1-Wire driver in software.
I think they might be referring (very unclearly) to the two people named in the headline. It still doesn't make sense though.
Because that argument has been repeatedly proven false. How would you know that the defendant was telling the truth? If your torture is working, then by definition the victim is in a rather confused mental state. SO even if you, as the devil, can assert that your victim actually has the knowledge (itself a difficult thing to know), how can you trust what is said under torture?

Secondly, the argument is essentially utilitarian, "one person's rights in exchange for thousands"-- which you would argue was true in this one case. However, if your strategy was adopted as policy, how many torture cases would there be? Would it only be this one time? Or are we talking about thousands of people being tortured over the years in the hope that one time this save thousands of lives.
If the goal is to obtain information, the most effective technique seems to simply to be nice to people:

Discussions about the utility of torture always make me thing of what people are really after:

“Power is not a means; it is an end. One does not establish a dictatorship in order to safeguard a revolution; one makes the revolution in order to establish the dictatorship. The object of persecution is persecution. The object of torture is torture. The object of power is power.”

The difference being that the new one can survive a straight t-bone at 50-70km/h and everyone walks out unhurt, while that's not necessarily the case with the old one. Just look at the size of the door sills and the actual depth of the doors - there's at least twice the depth of doors from a 1980s S class for instance, a lot more crumpling to work with.

FWIW, in Italian the sky is commonly referred as 'azzurro' (azure), except when it really is a deep blue, while a blueberry would definitely be 'blu' (blue). So, yes, in Italian we tend to distinguish the two colors more than, for example, english. Which I guess is the point you are making.

> By making Bing the default search engine, users in your organization with Google Chrome will be able to take advantage of Microsoft Search,

Also, if you are not doing that, they will still be able to, just not directly from the browser address bar.
Microsoft is doing the same as Google, they set a default search engine that can be changed, instead of offering an active choice before setting a default.

Both companies behave inappropriately, but then again, actions like these are needed to highlight how choices are made for us, and to shake us out of complatence.
I think a large number of people can't tell a browser and the search engine apart anymore. They are so entangled, internet to people means something that when they click on it, it shows the iconic Google search page. Wonder how that happened. I heard that Google is introducing Chromebooks to school kids. By the time these kids graduate, they'll be confused by any computer that is not a Chromebook.

I think if the OS, browser and the search engine belongs to the same company, its perfectly fine to set it as the default. As long as on first launch they give a clear option to choose something else.
Thanks for the feedback, much appreciated.
The democratic society doesn’t participate in elections for congress to enable them to control the executive. The people that do vote punish candidates who appear “soft” on “enemies”.

As a fallback for standard UDP DNS over IPv4, they do use your IP address in a rather clever way: they have multiple IPv4s so you can have different rule sets for different devices under the same IPv4 and they identify which ones by linking the two addresses together (NET1->DNS1 gets RULES1, NET1->DNS2 gets RULES2, etc.).
It's not due to English own linguistic merits in itself - and it borrowed/borrows from other languages as well.

English has taken over because, in our local history so far, because it's been the official language of the last two main world military (hence cultural & business) powers: UK for 19th century, US for 20th century - boosted by WW I & II & furthering globalization.

It's been also shaped by this globalization worldwide.

In 1, or 2 centuries, it very well may be that another language will have taken over.

No, torture has been proven ineffective in revealing information like that, especially from indoctrinated terrorists - they expect to be tortured.

As it stands, it's a barbaric practice that doesn't even work.

It doesn't seem to agree with the Wikipedia description of the Reid technique.

I've watched this episode quite recently, and from what I remember, it was all about trying to break Sheridan's grip on reality, through techniques such as food and sleep deprivation, making it impossible to track the passage of time, and calling into question his reasoning skills. On top of that, the interrogator was seeking guilt admission, not the truth.

> the language itself has at least as much WTF as php does

Oh absolutely! My argument was mostly that for getting started, JS has actually less setup than PHP, not that it's a better language, or that it's a better learning language (although I happen to also believe both of those things but for different reasons, mostly because of the easily available REPL and debugger available in browsers, whereas debugging PHP is much more involved)

> Most people starting from zero should be able to build & deploy a todo list app in 1-2 days

and you can make a (local) todo list app in JS in the same amount of time without installing anything (because let's be real, setting up a database and web server, even bundled solutions like XAMPP can be a real challenge when you're starting out if anything at all goes sideways), and you can deploy it for free by just uploading the files to github from your browser. And if you feel that doing this without a framework is too hard there's a slew of tutorials to do it with jQuery (in the old and outdated category) or React/Vue (which don't have the added typescript complexity of Angular)

I am not saying that PHP isn't great to start with, but I feel like more and more JS can really compete in that space, and has some key advantages for further progression.

Nothing uncharitable or deliberate about it. I had to read your comment about three times before I figured out that you might not mean the author. That's the most charitable interpretation I could find, and I searched for it since I had trouble believing you would want the prisoner executed, which is the obvious interpretation. The number of downvotes you've received show that other people had the same difficulty.
> Anyone has the right to bundle 3rd party software and make n installer that configures their software a certain way,even if the config gives them a competitive advantage.

That should read their software. MS is free to set the default search in edge when I am installing edge. If I install something unrelated like office and it goes and touches my chrome config that is something else entirely. Don't touch other people's stuff without asking first.

It will discourage hoarding. Unproductively using land in high value locations that are growing is currently rewarded - with asset appreciation.

If it is discouraged - with taxation, that land will be yielded to more productive use.

Nobody creates land but somebody gets to "tax" it. Either we can let that revenue stream fill up government coffers or it can go into private pockets. It's our decision.

I've learned the most valuable things from the HowToADHD channel:

1.

Procrastination is related to fear, and the fight, flight & freeze responses for work. Procrastination = flight. Pulling an all-nighter = fight (gets things done, but at a health cost). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hlObsAeFNVk

2.

For people with ADHD (e.g. myself) there are two times: NOW and NOT NOW.
That way, it is hard to do any activity, unless is urgent (e.g. deadline). Anything for "some time" (or "tomorrow") is going to stay that way. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YLkOZhROvA4

...

Also, I recommend "Driven to Distraction: Recognizing and Coping with Attention Deficit Disorder" by Edward Hallowell and John Ratey. I discovered this book thanks to HN and a post about dyslexia. The book shows quite a few stories of adults with AD(H)D and how do they cope with work and relationships. The stories are diverse (it is certainly not all ill-behaved boys), and give a point of reference.

I wished I had known that book before. I got diagnosed only the last year, being 33 years old. Before turning 30 I hadn't suspected having ADHD, as I had quite a few misconceptions both about the condition, and what is "typical" in humans.

...

And from recent things: this recent HN is invaluable: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22105229

And from a linked Reddit post:

"Eat the frog first doesn't work for many of the groups who struggle with procrastination. My ADHD group often gets newcomers who say they've tried everything. There must be something terribly wrong with them because trying to eat the frog first makes things worse for them.

In fact, trying to eat the frog first makes it worse for most people with ADHD. We do better with small things, and even better with a small, well-chosen fun thing before the important thing. It builds dopamine and success and reduces anxiety. Also, sometimes we need to de-stress. Yes, I let my kids play video games after school. They relaxed until after supper. They knew that if they didn't get their work done before class started, and were cranky from lack of sleep, we'd have to change the rules."
To be slightly reasonable on this, GA on their site is nothing in comparison to the larger surface they provide. It’s not all-or-nothing.
Except that it doesn't really matter and most people in general don't care because they don't know. Say what you want about Microsoft, but the fact is the world runs on Windows and MS Office with exceptions for fraction of macs and some weird geeks running some funny penguin systems. Not only that, but if you're young enough you never had a chance to experience the 'evil Microsoft'. Same goes in similar fashion for other companies you've mentioned: Oracle/Ethereum - what's that? Google - the world runs on it and Gmail. Apple keyboards - 'it works for me' and so on and so forth, sadly.

> Playing the devil's advocate for a moment- suppose you had some information about 9/11 one week before, would you torture your informant to get the precise date and location ? one person's rights in exchange for thousands.

Torture literally does not work and the scenarios where it could conceivably work never materialize.

Even at the most basic level; torture doesn't work to reveal the truth, so any "information" that you gained is worthless until confirmed by another reliable channel, and if you can do that - well you might as well could have just used that reliable channel in the first place. It's also worth pointing out that even if someone knows something, they are not going to tell you just because you torture them. Famously the US tortured an actual terrorist for months on end using these methods and the man told his torturers exactly only those things he knew they already knew.

It doesn't work.
