Even without an MS account, when using Microsoft Store with a local account, I won't be surprised if they used some hardware fingerprint such as MAC address to assign a unique ID to that account.
You can always tell when someone's never eaten it when they describe it as a casserole or lasagne. There's no way you could eat it and describe it that way.

Butterflies. I miss the fields full of multicolored butterflies I used to play in as a kid.

High grass used to be green in the summer, now most of it is dead and yellow.

Driving an entire day for vacation and finding just a few dead bugs on the flat places that used to be caked with their corpses.

Actually cold winters and fresh snow that stays on the ground. Ice skating for miles and miles during the day and huddling by the fire at night.

All gone, except for a few snippets here and there, barely enough to scratch the surface of the nostalgia. My kids will never know these things.

My dad once drove his car over the frozen river near our hometown. I've never even seen ice on it.

Hey, what can you say, we were overdue.

This is not specific to OO and is not an OOP principle. As soon as you have data dynamically allocated in memory and you start passing pointers to them around you have to be careful.

Feminism was just one of the several things he said.

There are plenty of zero-income families - single mothers. So single-income families are surely even more possible. Usually only women have this choice. Men can't choose family over career.

There's been a lot of work done in C++ concurrency. Some higher level libraries that leverage recent (primitive) additions are emerging and they look pretty cool.

Not even touching on the false equivalency, this has to be one of the most tone-deaf and upsetting comments I've seen on HN.
> This is good for the planet because mountains of Xinjiang coal are no longer being burned to achieve literally nothing.

By the same token I could say all the power (and pollution!) used by the US military given that it's actively hostile to my country is a waste, bad for the planet and I wish it went away, but that wouldn't be too fair towards US citizens or their allies.

> But yes of course, this is good for Bitcoin. Everything is good for Bitcoin.

Well, Bitcoin is cleaner for now, wasn't that one of the greater criticisms levied towards it? I'm pretty sure by now that it could be found that mining Bitcoin cures cancer and AIDS by tomorrow and detractors would still find a reason to criticize it. I don't think there's a way to win, so I don't bother.
Hershey's is odd, but humans eat plenty of foods that taste or smell strange. Some of those are even considered delicacies. The biggest factor to if one likes them is growing up with it, but of course liking them is not a given.
I shudder at the prospect of going back to using a PC! I've been using a Mac from work. My wife and I are both pissed off at Microsoft for doing this to our home PC. I built that PC for her to do some Photoshop work. So I can't really get rid of Windows. If she switches to a Mac, I will happily forget about the money wasted on that Windows license and format that hard drive and put a Linux on it immediately.
I would love me to move to Linux completely. However healthy share of my income comes from my desktop products. And since I have tens of thousands of customers for those it would be a business suicide trying to convince them to use Linux. Even without it there are programs I use on Windows that are not available for Linux. So no, moving completely to Linux is currently unrealistic for me.
Montreal has more days where heat is a problem (ex: for elderly people), than when cold is a problem. There are a lot of efforts put into reducing heat zones, from too much asphalt, not enough trees, etc. (I once ran for borough council :-)

Since 2010, most Quebec building standards have also been updated pretty massively. I don't have references, but where I live, we had 1" insulation in the walls, and now the minimum requirement for new buildings is 1.5". Doors and windows tech have improved a lot too in the past 10-15 years. Overall, as I went through upgrades, our heating bills went down pretty significantly, but AC usage keeps going up.
Those last examples happen when you have variables containing those values. Without strict type checking, it gets really hard to know in all situations (especially when you're pulling values from a service) what you will have in there. And if a service changes, you won't have a lot of warning in your client code. So yes, these kinds of errors are very common.
I'm definitely not a lawyer but a long-time software veteran. The kind of arrangement you're talking about is typical for schools and very much standard for employers.

In the school's case, the IP includes not only things you invent while you're there, but copyright for stuff like text and logos and the content of pages. They certainly don't want you copying that or re-publishing it on your own.

Many people don't know it but there are no trademark, copyright, or patent police. There is no one to complain to if you (or anyone) violates these things. It requires a lawsuit to do something about it. That means the school would have to sue you if they believe that, in the future, you've violated some of their IP rights.

In the case of a patent, the school would have to show prior art (a previous patent) which proves they own a particular invention or that someone else does, either of which could be used to get the court to invalidate your patent (if you tried to file) or to stop you from selling things with their patent in it. That's how it's supposed to work, anyway.

In practice, the only people who do anything with patents are huge companies: IBM, MS, Siemens, etc. And what they do is trade portfolios so that nobody actually sues anybody or even monitors what they're doing. If IBM thinks their patents are worth $20M and Samsung thinks theirs are worth $10M, the companies might agree to license their full portfolios to each other and Samsung pay IBM $10M. Since patents are a game that only lawyers win, these big portfolio holders have figured out that licensing the full portfolio is the only way to make any money or, at the very least, to keep themselves out of court.

Having said that, one cannot patent a specific piece of code (that's copyright, see Google v. Oracle) nor an idea or even a technology. The only thing that can be patented is a system, method, or actual implementation and that's why patents go through so much wording saying "in one implementation, it works like this... in another implementation, you could do this" to show how the patent would be used in a real product. For you to have a patent that anyone could sue you over would require that you file something very specific about a particular (future) invention of yours. Only then would you be open to claims from your former school. Or, of course, if you sell a product that they have blatantly patented.

In the Good News department, a great deal of serious software these days is open source and patent free. Many companies require that their teams choose patent-free software on purpose to keep them out of these imbroglios. So your best shot might be not to worry about it at all. Build something people want, as they say at YC, and let it all shake out! Just my 2 cents.
I'm /u/zjz on wallstreetbets. That google sign-in flow thing has caused us a good bit of hassle because people became convinced that usernames fitting the Word-Word-#### scheme are all bots.

It doesn't help that the kind of person who lets a google sign-in type flow suggest a username for them is probably a lazy commenter.

Perhaps an announcement in the future when a user-facing identifier is auto-generated would be wise.
I have a candidate for an even better reason:

I have no reason to believe that Microsoft will not pull a Google and start spuriously locking people out of their accounts (as happens every few months on HN), which may then prevent me from logging in to my own computer.

In fact, I've already been locked out of my Microsoft account for "suspicious activity" (which was literally just purchasing Minecraft) and was required to enter a phone number to unlock it. Literal theft - I was compelled to either give up additional personal information or lose access to the software I paid for.
I don't know, but I have a hard time buying the private jets as the problem. How many of them are flying, in comparison to normal airliners?

It's like saying that the 3 Ferraris in the city are the problem, not the million Volkswagens (or whatever).

Heck, if this helps those folks focus on the problem at hand, I'd rather have them fly private than go through the stress of flying regular (which in my view is mostly horrible).
I am so angry about this. We had the solution for climate change. We had it for dozens of years now.

It's called nuclear. It has its downsides, but they are significantly smaller than downsides of fossil. Even with a few more meltdowns here and there it'd have done much less damage. And if we'd have used it by now we'd have learned to control it better and safer.

But we didn't use it. And there is just one guilty party for that: the green activists. They opposed Nuclear rabidly while never proposing any practical solution instead. We should talk about this. We should point our collective fingers at them.

Because today, the same luddite, anti-tech activists are busy delaying evolution and progress in other areas as well. Their dream of an egalitarian, resource-constrained, pseudo-agrarian society is a nightmare of stagnation and regress. They must be confronted and stopped. If it's not already too late...

It's a war, a culture war. A war between dreams and nightmares, a war between tradition and innovation, a war between progress and stagnation, a war for the future. And it's our only hope.
I live in North India in Uttarakhand and the summer has been pleasantly cool this year in whole decade atleast.

I have seen a few big bang 'lets test everything' go horribly wrong. Where you were unsure if the tests or the code were broken. Test code is code. It needs to be reviewed too. It is also dead easy to go too far with it (I know I have fallen into that trap more than once).
The issue isn't that they're constants, but that GP called them "true" and "false" and assigned the opposite values you'd expect. You can break it in exactly the same way with variables: https://play.golang.org/p/EVU84l0A57I

Kinda crazy to me that Go doesn't reserve the words "true" and "false", but ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I think a challenge is that the law provides much needed protections to YT if they protect copyright holders. Distinguishing between real and fraudulent claimants would need to be done very carefully; could accidentally denying a legitimate claim cause them to lose liability protections?

If so, they'd need lawyers in the loop for any decision about denying a fraudulent copyright claim. The cost of that is likely enough to make them prefer the current setup.

It might be more accurate to say that the marketplace of ideas isn't all it's cracked up to be. It has failed to be the utopian dream some hoped it would.
Try akabanga (Rwandan hot sauce). Comes in little eyedropper bottles, 150000+ scovilles, plus it's delicious and also since it's an oil-based sauce the heat doesn't linger that long in your mouth.
Yeah I think this is a huge issue. It might be good for the students to get this experience, but it would be horrible for the projects. People working on a project to check a box is not going to lead to good outcomes.

A better option would be to require students to work on projects which depend on eachother, and practice pull-requests on eachother's student projects.

Use the for long time available patch for GTK file chooser, use an XDG portal to open KDE file chooser instead of the GTK one, or use a Qt-based (KDE or Deepin) rather a GTK-based environment.

The original Satoshi paper uses the Poisson distribution as an approximation to model the bitcoin mining process.

The more appropriate model might be negative binomial, because you want to know how many successes you get until a specified number of failures occur.

I don't doubt the Poisson distribution would model the data fairly well, but it's really hard to say that a real process is Poisson distributed by definition.
It's a communication problem. If an American sees "paella" on a menu in Spain, they're not going to recognize what's on the plate. It's not that Americans did or didn't invent it, it's just not what they thought they were asking for.
Yah definitely wrong on my part saying “almost all”, Maybe not at an IT specific company? But this is what I’ve seen in IT departments in finance (37.5, 9 - 5:30) and other large commerce (35, 9 - 5) companies, in my short career.

Do people really struggle to recall their passwords that they need a password manager?

Sichuan seems pretty popular in the USA these days.

In the medium-sized city where I live, there is a standard American Chinese place by a university which is frankly not very good even for American Chinese food, but was owned by people from sichuan and would make off menu sichuan dishes for immigrant students. But they noticed non-immigrant Americans ordering them too, and wisely noticed the general trend going on, and the same owners up a different place a few miles away with actual sichuan food and prices 2x+ higher, which has been very successful. :)

In Philadelphia there's also the popular Han Dynasty chain of sichuan places.

I'd imagine even the places with food closer to "actual" sichuan food, if they are popular with non-Chinese people, have "Americanized" to some extent. I couldn't say as they are my only exposure to it! But I know sometimes I get something where the flavors/textures are just TOO different than what I'm used to, and I just don't like it!
In fact a currency gaining value over time, especially at a high rate, is terrible for a monetary system in which you want to encourage monetary velocity instead of just stashing and saving.

If I have a need to pay someone, I use Venmo or Zelle. Bitcoin is slow and expensive and volatile.

It’s apples and oranges. As a regulator, the FCA has a lot more teeth than the Information Commissioner. The FCA also has a much more persuasive enforcement mechanism: frozen bank accounts. It’s a lot easier for facebook to keep servers outside of the UK than it is for BML to keep money out of the UK. Any prohibited transaction with a UK citizen is now a risk not just for the potential regulatory headache it might provoke but for the chain of accounts it risks flagging to authorities.

How is this related to lab-grown meat?
This is the problem.

Recipes aren't just about instructions. They are also advertising. People have heard the word "caramelize" used with "onion" and it sounds sexy. So a recipe will happily use "caramelize" rather than "brown" to better sell the recipe and take advantage of semantic drift. Now there are two very different meanings of the same word but the impact is very minor for serious recipes because you can just trust the time.

The only time I've ever seen this go badly is on amateur french onion soup recipes which call for cooking onions for only like 6-10 minutes because they've been convinced that this is the only way to cook onions. But that's an easily solved problem by just getting decent recipe books.
I'm curious how healthy this is compared to grass fed animals.
I agree with you then, we should kick the descendants of colonists off their stolen land and give it back to the natives.

Another classic example that seems to be overlooked is the Science of Race. An opinion that became so widely accepted as fact in the Western world that its used in legal definitions of groups of people.
Well you certainly can sort any language's glyphs, using strategies such as that one. But will it be useful outside of that language? People who speak German will be aware of their sort order, and people who speak Korean will be aware of their sort order, but only a small subset of the population who speak German and Korean fluently will care that you went the extra mile to sort properly when sorting a list containing German and Korean words. It almost seems as though showing a globally-sorted list containing multiple languages is an anti-pattern, and you should group by character set first. However, that might be a political boondoggle if German/Anglo names are always displayed before or after the Korean names. Hmmm...
Except nobody was arguing that. However, back in the world of reality, English is the most used language in programming and by such a large margin that it's laughable. It is a valid and practical problem that you are finding it difficult to constructively collaborate with 99% of the programming world thanks to the name - something that the French authors apparently completely recognise, hence why they're trying to come up with a good rebrand.
