I don't agree here. != is a primitive, not a negative condition in the usual sense. Putting things this way around is natural, where the usual action appears first and the exceptional action appears later.

From the comments here, it seems that I will still need TeraCopy when Windows 8 comes around. That's a bit of a bummer, but I can live with that.

7 Amazing Firefox Themes
For some reason when I think of the bland grey appearance most web browsers have when I install them, it gets me thinking of other technology that had a longer life span and sort of come into its own in terms of design. When manufactures began to produce television sets for the home, the idea was to make them look similar to things people already owned.

Speaking as a manager the reason I don't review things isn't because I don't have it in my hand, it's because I have something more important to do.

The overhead of opening files from a file share or e-mail is not a major impediment to my productivity.
I'd also recommend checking out the Bay Area's social dance scene (especially blues and swing and also especially, in my experience, in San Francisco), which not only is active and welcoming, but also has a high concentration of coders and other computer science people.
that's actually very surprising to me considering each user has their own temporary folder

To extrapolate, I found it unsurprising not because it's either Windows or POSIX individually, but because it's both together.

It's been many years since I was a Windows developer, but I remember back then that the opinion of the POSIX implementation (XP era, not NT era) was "there be dragons" and to avoid it.
I'm not particularly disagreeing with the point you are making - but would it really be asking to much for people to provide explanations of why one form is preferred over another?
I can only directly compare myself to the people I know. I know a couple lawyers, one judge, and several doctors, all who are alumni of the same school as I.

I'm more highly trained, and engage in more ongoing training than any of them. All of these professions involve ongoing training, though for lawyers and judges, once they get their degree the need drops dramatically. In fact, speaking of these people I know myself, they all have practices that are pretty routine with each case being very much like the others.

In my experience, as a software developer, I am constantly having to learn new areas of expertise. For instance, NoSQL has become relevant in recent years, and on previous jobs I had to learn the intricacies of fairly arcane businesses. My lawyer and doctor friends don't do this level of continuing education.

Also, you seem to be debating a point I'm not making. I never said it wasn't risky or expensive to go into those careers, in fact, that is part of the point I made: In both cases there are gateway organizations and laws that exclude people from the practice, preventing competition in salaries.
Some Valuable Points In Muscle Building
Some valuable points in Muscle Building are the proper body proportion, in that, the upper and lower body should be proportionately muscled for that perfect look; development of calf muscles and deltoids; muscle mass development; being open and realistic about the results and taking it one day at a time.
"Entitled whining" is a bit harsh I agree, but I have to say that my reaction was along those lines as well. What do you suggest be done about the situation? The abstract "respect" term is not very useful. The investment bankers that you mention make a lot of money but they don't have a lot of respect right now, at least for some definition of the word.

You could say that we deserve higher salaries but in my opinion the free market works perfectly there. And in fact, the same applies to respect. It's not something you can force, people respect those who earn their respect. It's not adjusted for IQ, skills, worked hours etc.
The battle scenes therein certainly remind me of the forthcoming patent wars- all the major players just walking towards each other shooting at will. War doesn't determine who is right, only who is left.
Imagine if someone made the statement:
"This is a tinfoil hat argument." Or, more directly: "This is an idiotic argument". How about "that argument is positively pedophiliac!"

Any time you take a pejorative term and apply it to the argument, it is always going to sound like you're applying it to there person. In most cases, that's the way it reads as well. It seems a way to engage in personal attack while being able to pretend to have only been characterizing the argument.

If you said "this argument has logical fallacy X because Y is Z" that would be a characterization of the argument of a totally different color. That would be addressing weaknesses in the argument, rather than anthropomorphizing it.

I have no opinion or position on your intentions, and presume that it wasn't your intention to characterize the person making the argument. I'm just trying to show why that form of characterizing the argument comes off as a personal attack.

Let me start by stating that you reply is somewhat of an example of HN-bias...

The world of programming is vast. Larger than "America", larger than Sillicon Valley, larger than the world of startups, and certainly much larger than the "elite" that regularly reads (and comments on) HN and pats each other in the back.

Even if we accept that programmers are well-paid and respected (two different propositions) in the technology sector, most programming jobs are _not_ in the technology sector, but spread throughout the corporate world. And corporate programmers are all but respected.

In your average company, a programmer is considered a glorified mechanic or janitor, a code-monkey if you will, well below the guys that "bring in the money" like sales and marketing. It is an expense, something that the company has to live with because someone has to implement the ideas that the guys in charge come up with to help the guys that "bring in the money" bring in more money.

Besides manufacturing, programmers are on the first line for outsourcing, and it is no coincidence that an expression such as "software factories" exists. Why do you think this is?

Most programmers will only actually _program_ for a few years before going into management positions. There are few "old" programmers around, and those that survive are often met with disdain. "What? You are 35 and still a programmer?" kind of disdain.

When the average corporate user spends most of his time in front of a computer, forced to use boring applications day-in and day-out, how do you think he feels about the people that build those applications?

And even outside the corporate world... If you are a doctor, or a lawyer, or a freakin' sales guy, people will listen to your stories, at least for a while. On the other hand, if you are a programmer and even start to talk about what you do for a living, people's eyes will glaze in boredom instantly.

Disclaimer: I am _not_ a programmer (I'm a sysadmin, which is mostly the same, although usually better respected because sysadmin positions tend to be longer-running inside companies).
Nah. iOS didn’t have the time to prove anything at all. It’s not done yet.
I think it's more fruitful to consider where you can get karma and on what basis than how the actual karma sources are computed into some final number.

The most important aspect of HN is the culture which we want to preserve. So users should get new points/votes/karma when they reinforce the culture and lose points/votes/karma when they break the culture apart.

Voting is the only means to change the karmic dynamic of users. So voting should be reserved to the active old timers in greater proportion and to the newcomers in smaller proportion.

For example, newbies shouldn't be able to vote at all below a karma threshold and when they are, their votes should have a fractional effect compared to the vote of an old timer. Maybe something like if one 4000-karma guy downvotes a comment it would need to take 100 of 40-karma guys to upvote it back to zero but only 10 of 400-karma guys. If all HN users voted on an item, the weight of each vote would be a single user's karma / total sum of karma of all HN users. Of course, only a subset of users ever vote on a single item so the total sum should be limited to a subset of users, such as those expressing interest in voting for that item or those having voted for that submission or any of its other comments. As long as newcomers can't come and upvote each others comments to gain karma without the approval of the high-ranking old timers. Therefore, those newcomers who can already vote would contribute fractional karma points witht their votes.

Those old timers who define the culture can perhaps be identified by their karma, as recursive as it sounds. At some point the karma reaches some natural limitation as it's much more difficult to obtain tens of thousands of karma points than thousands. So eventually the most persistent ones would gradually join the higher ranks because it would be really hard to escape.

But the computation of karma probably doesn't matter much. Just adding up votes will sufficiently track the relative ranking of each user.

It isn't a bug, it is a feature. C wasn't designed to abstract away the reality of pointers, which are the basic building blocks of assembly. If you don't like pointers, then don't use C. All programming languages have their time and place (even something like whitespace).

The advantage of not abstracting pointers is that it makes low-level programming much easier. Instead of having to write your operating system kernel in assembly, you can write it in a portable language that is much easier to read!
Google: If your profile is under review, you will not be able to make full use of Google services that require an active profile such as Google+, Buzz, and some social features of Reader and Picasa Web Albums. For example, on Buzz, you can't create content, on Reader you can't share items with other users or follow other users, and on Picasa Web Albums you can't comment on photos.

That's funny, I thought Google "explicitly said the no other service of theirs will be affected." [1] and that "Other services aren't affected. Period." [2]

Seems like the people who support this G+ policy have just been flat out lying. Period.

Thanks for that! I was mainly thinking that by returning functions, one can compose for more complex editor operations, more functions at once, and even simplify them (if they cancel each other). Off course this is not currently possible, unless the returned functions are some kind of AST tree, and there is something that can optimize them at runtime (dynamic programming?)... Probably overkill....

For example deleteBlock might delete 10 lines, and if there is better composability, instead of returning undo to insert 10 individual lines, it can be merged as one operation with 10 lines, basically by having rules, if you have production like "insertLine * insertLine * insertLine * insertLine" - you can make this as "insertLines[lines collected]" - but that's beyond the discussion.

All this just to avoid making insertBlock/deleteBlock special, but reuse insertLine/deleteLine.... lost my thought already - too late in the morning....
Rsync in cygwin also (severely) messes up your files' and folders' NTFS-permissions when synching against a linux-host, which can lead to things like the meltdown of a complete IIS website/webserver setup since the IIS worker process can no longer access the files it needs.

I've learnt the hard way that you dont use rsync in cygwin for anything remotely crucial ;)
I think it all boils down to the fact there's no such thing as free market capitalism in America. All those well respected jobs you mentioned have special privileges provided by the government. Banking, finance, law, accounting and healthcare are heavily regulated industries. They don't have to compete with third world countries nor with Americans without the proper certifications.

Call me a libertarian, but I truly believe there lies the problem.

It's true and false for me. I think the main problem lies in ourselves. We must go around with their heads held high and announcing to the whole world: we are a programmer. The real problem is that we ourselves, the programmers, do not see the value of our work. Thanks to the doctors, people do not die and are cured of their diseases. Well, thanks to the programmers, computers can run programs, and increasingly, higher quality. I have programmers friends that his dream is an MBA or something else required to climb in the profession. To my mind, I think are wrong. They tell me that not want to be 50 years old and continuing with writting code. I differ from them because if I want to be 50 years and still write code. I understand that the first change require that we change our work perspective. It's needed to understand that programmer it's an inportant piece of the current society. Without programmers, a lot of companies die directly. The programmers, are currently working the lines of the future and they are the responsible of stablish and maintain the social status. It's important understand that only the programmers can do the programmer work and must appraise the done work. Until the programmers don't understand that programmer work it's important, serious, complex, with responsibility, that requires constantly study, then the society does not change the view of the programmers. It's our work demostrate the importance of our work, the value of our thoughts and our contributions to the society (as the doctor that cure the diseases).

Smarbo: Toshiba Announces Roomba Competitor
Every language which does not support pointers and pointer arithmetic by default has a more complicated way of doing it. Look at Python, for example. When you want to deal with arrays for interfacing with C code or image processing or just for plain performance gains, you have to deal with Numpy arrays which are even more difficult than pointers (esp. when it comes to C code wrappers).

Haskell gets this right. You never write regular Haskell code with pointers but when you need to do some low level stuff, there is a native pointer type and I/O operations peek and poke.

The pass by value semantics of C are well suited for the low level language that C is.

Respect and money are two different things. Armed forces command great respect and little money. Doctors command good respect and earn good money. But Lawyers command little respect but earn lots of money.

Doctors save lives, Soldiers defend lives, Lawyers win you lives, Teachers build lives. All of them impact lives, This is where respect comes from. And Software programmers ? They make software which at best speeds up, accurate up other primary professions. In that sense, Software programmer supports the other primary professions. I say software programming is a support profession.

And then money ? Money comes from the value provided by a profession to people’s lives. As of today, Software makes our lives easier but does not add much of a value to life as other primary professions do. Software profession helps but not create/add value to life by itself.

Even for a support profession, It takes time to mature and join the big league of primary professions. Software programming is relative new entrant in league of professions. It can wait until the day it will impact lives in a way we have not known before rather than helping already known ways !

"That has a performance impact on all platforms: the direct call to tmpfile() is now an indirect, which defeats optimization, and well, everything."

This couldn't be any more wrong. First of all, even if there were a performance impact, it would be meaningless compared to the time it takes to perform the system calls required for tmpfile().

Second, the compiler will inline the function call if it can. You can use a regular "inline" function and if you're not convinced it's good enough, then use __attribute__(force_inline) or equivalent. Even if the damn function is not an inline function, it will get inlined if it's in the same translation unit as where it is called (look at the asm output of gcc -O3). In the (not so far) future we'll be able to enjoy link time optimizations and don't have to care about translation units w.r.t. inlining optimizations.
I'm not sure if it's valid to draw conclusions that the peace of the E.U. is due to its relaxing of border controls, and that we can apply this method to places like the Middle East. I do agree that infrastructure is a key part of peace for Palestine-Israel, but Israel seems hell-bent on dismantling all of Palestine's infrastructure and isolating its communities with corridors for its transport etc. So, good luck convincing Israel to reverse those policies.
