That is what I didn't understand either. So Yale has a real hospital, I can see that. But since they admitted an Yale student does it mean all their medical history is now shared. Or does it mean the psych ward head can advise with the "send home" vs "let them stay" binary decision up the chain, to the Dean for example, and the dean just accepts that and goes with it.

That is what I mean lie and don't trust institutions. Always think what and how they can use what you give them against you. Because sometimes they will.
Possibly, I have never used one. A razor blade is very small, and the consequences of a miss could be high so that may be a factor.

I found the dissonance between the prominence and reputation of the speaker and the crudeness of the remarks interesting, hence my up vote. Comparing hoodlums tossing rocks to Kristallnacht is beyond depraved.
A play on words is ok, as long as it's not a running joke that keeps coming up. That's distracting.

The key to the Unix joke name genre is that the jokes are encoded laconically into the name and only the name (e.g. "less") and then have the good taste to immediately expire. They don't get old because they don't overstay their welcome.

Edit: I reworded this to be less judgmental.

If you're using external VGA, aren't you by definition tethered? When are you likely to use external VGA and yet don't have access to power?
Yeah, like anyone cares what the Chronicle prints.CW Nevius (the columnist who has been baiting Danielle Steele and calling her a snob because her barge downtown house is surrounded by a hedge which protrudes onto the pavement) has been doing this schtick for 10 or 20 years, he's a professional whiner. I was actually surprised to see him whining about Danielle Steele because he's usually whining about poor people. The chronicle is an extremely parochial newpaper and CW Nevius is just the resident grump. They also have a resident angry conservative columnist, two resident self-absorbed sports writers, etc...much like many other small town newspapers. People who want a serious daily newspaper in SF read the WSJ or NYT, both of which have SF offices and produce a local supplement.
It doesn't really alter the semantics, if you recognize that CoffeeScript always adds `var` before variable assignments, you can just get around that by attaching a variable you want to share to a higher scope by using `this.whatever = 'foo'`. It's really not as hard as people make it out to be, but there are still plenty of killer reasons not to use CS (for example, if you don't feel like learning it...I mean JS is just as good, it does all the same stuff).
As an additional testimony, I've actually been learning coffeescript without really knowing JavasScript, and it has actually gone fairly well. For the most part it's intuitive, and if you're willing to be a little frustrated figuring out some of the syntax changes it can be rewarding.
I used to be a brogrammer, but then I got bromoted to broduct management.

And Lisp has too many parentheses. I clearly just like my code to be illegible.

I would wait a bit for reports of how well the retina displays are doing. I have a MBP 15" that I need to take back in to get the display replaced since it ghosts the old images for minutes. Also, I am curious if the chipset drives the display decently.
Is HN really an appropriate place to point out stupid letters to the editor?
For many WSJ readers, that has already happened - their editorial board is heavily invested in the idea that Obama is just about the worst thing ever to happen to the US.
What's the significance of that? I must admit I have no idea who either of them are.

Why don't you provide a short summary. My opinion right now is that if the book claims that things we can physically verify ourselves about the world are wrong because of a handful of dead people it doesn't sound like a very good book.
It is a bigger issue than lack of familiarity.

It can lead to some really unexpected bugs. There is a reason most languages don't do things this way.

Same as chairman, they're all short for manus, which is 'hand' in Latin.
I love vanilla JS, but I also love CoffeeScript. I think the thing that I love the most about CS is it's looping constructs (just the ability to iterate over an array without typing a for loop then another variable to get the item out) that have a custom step and when filter is pretty nice.

That saves me quite a bit of time in the long run.

Its not in a human beings best interests to create something capable of undergoing an intelligence explosion. Of course, that won't prevent somebody from doing it.

Its better to control the technology you're using. Most robots will be either remotely controlled or designed to handle a specific domain. To create a potential competitor with an ever-evolving ability to compete is very dangerous.

But even drones will be very dangerous even when tightly controlled by someone malicious.

I'd say we have some interesting challenges ahead of us.

What I Wish I Had Known Before Selling to Google
This is a sonar ping bouncing off a person closely intermeshed with communities HN readers care about. It casts into relief certain cultural values and tendencies of our community, e.g. our discomfort with moral ambiguity (Bill Gates/Uber/prosecutors/Comcast tend to be judged as scumbag or not in the top comment, with the nuance being expanded upon in child comments versus the other way around).
With the greatest respect and sympathy for a guy who had to make a snap judgment in the moment, I have to question that judgment. He inflicted a terrible loss on his own wife and family -- and to what end?

Now I understand why Telefónica forced me to have WEP 128 that was automatically generated from the SSID. After I asked them to set up my own password (the router was password protected) they suggested I tell them what password I wanted over the phone. I switched ISP two weeks ago.
Excellent work - looks like an inevitable outcome.
Would it would really be that expensive to install what amounts to a row of automatic glass doors like you have at the supermarket?
I'm from Italy and I'm in my third year of CS as well. I think you're exaggerating your situation. Sure, Italy's a bad country to be a programmer and there's no other country like the US for us but I think you've read too much HN and how life is at companies like Google and Amazon and then compared it with yours.

Nobody is going to hire you in the US with no experience just because you say you're passionate about algorithms. If you're lucky to get an interview and get hired it's another thing but your best shot is to build things and acquire experience. As an EU citizen you can go to any country in Europe you like. After you gain some professional experience, get to know people and make connections then it would be much easier to move.

As far as education is concerned, I don't share the same sentiments as you. With the new legislation (which you are a part of) the materials are much more 'hands-on' to get students ready for the job market. Again, don't think all US universities are on the same level as Stanford and MIT.

I, too, am scared shitless about my future but try not to despair :-)

I guess, but would you consider the existing 13" MBP to be "significantly" thicker and heavier? There's already very little differentiation between the models.

Some argue [weasel words] that using pictures of animals for humor (i.e. dog memes) is degrading to those animals. You can stretch this into an argument that maybe the Shiba Inu in the doge photo didn't want to have his picture captioned with imagined dog thinking (which, come to think of it, is degrading too — what if white people made an internet meme in which they "imitate" how black people think?)
I'm loving these social experiments! Reminds me of gorgasm.
Most suggestions seem to focus on making the ideas unattractive somehow (validate them, write them down, sleep on them).

In the UK there are a few situations where a doctor can suggest you return your driving licence. (I don't know if they can force that or not).

But in that situation you can apply for a bus pass to give you free bus travel. (Sub optimal, it has restrictions on times). That pass can also get cheaper coach and train travel.

He's the founder of a (formerly) top-tier SV VC firm, and the issue of "how SF and VC-funded tech get along" is a huge local political issue in SF right now, so I think it's quite relevant.

OK, now I get the complaints about https://hn.algolia.io that I was reading earlier. First glance it's absolutely terrible. I have no idea if it will get better if I persevere, but I've just tried searching for things that have "rise" and "thinking" in the title so I could review the discussions from the past gazzilions of times this has been posted.

Nightmare. Absolute nightmare.

I really, really hope they take on board the feedback they've had, because this is horrible.

I hate to be so negative. Maybe it'll grow on me, although I feel seriously disinclined to make the effort.

Added in edit: I can't even work out how to use the search function to find that discussion. Eurgh.

Added in further edit: OK, now found it, but I'm reluctant to say anything more as my impressions are so unremittingly negative. I hope you guys have thick skins and serious programming ability to make it usable quickly. For now, there's no way I'll be using it, so the search box is now useless. Bookmarking HNSearch.

Final edit: OK, I'm surprised, this has only been submitted on five previous occasions under this title. I thought it was more.
Anything to do with gender on urban dictionary has been vote brigaded by feminist blogs for years now.

Here's the number one entry:

Things With Penises who tell women anything just to get intercorse

"timmy is like most men he tells tina he loves her so he can get ass then he never speaks to her again."

The number two entry is about how real men love feminism and have big dicks, seemingly as a result. Apparently men who don't love feminism aren't men at all and have small dicks.

Are you familiar with the humorous device known as the pun?
Great idea; shame about the name.

Here's the problem with using words like "bro" (however jokingly): the problem is not with what you[0] are thinking when you read the word "bro", but with what other people, especially newcomers, are thinking. The locker-room atmosphere that stuff like this creates is a huge barrier to entry for a lot of people, women especially, who infer that on top of all the technically difficult stuff that everyone has to learn to be CS types, they'll also have to deal with a constant barrage of "you're not our kind" flung at them by the in-group. You personally may not be intending that as your message, but I assure you that your personal intent does not matter when you are using language that has been associated with exclusion and discrimination.[1]

The problem here, if this program is actually intended to be used, is that just typing in the command would be a constant reminder of an entire subculture that is widely seen as[2] putting up walls and doors that say "NO GIЯLS ALOUD" around the programming profession, an attempt to preserve privilege. Those of you suggesting an alias are either being disingenuous or missing the point entirely.

[0] Meaning individuals, of whatever gender/race/class/whatever, that are likely to be reading HN.

[1] If you don't believe me, ponder for a moment sentences like, "But I like Negroes just fine!" Language matters.

[2] Again, you might not mean to reference that when you use words like "brogrammer". But it's how an awful lot of us read it.

EDIT: Rereading other posts on this page, I should add that I almost certainly got the phrase "shame about the name" stuck in my head from reading dewitt's post. Four words, such a concise summary of my attitude! :)

EDIT 2: "they'll have" -> "that everyone has" to clarify argument. Thx vezzy-fnord.
This is actually one nice thing about NVIDIA.. there are notebook drivers on their website that work with most of their mobile GPUs. I'm pretty sure you can get upstream AMD drivers working with ATI cards though... it probably requires some ini tweaks or something.

The explanation given there is sound when it is applied the veracity of historical written records that don't attempt to support the supernatural. It's just about measuring what the more reliable evidence is. Did so and so say such and such to this person and so 500 years ago? Best written records say so, and there are different pieces of records from different people who say so and so we deem it good enough to say it's accurate. That's a totally different ball game than trying to discredit contemporary physical evidence.
Actually no. Perpetuating the "boys only" impression many programmers seem to want to cultivate is bad. The name is exclusionary, and a poor joke.
The comment in the article deserves to be on that list:

"I was at Sun headquarters for several of these, but the most participative was in 1992, the water fight between Sun Labs and SunSoft. The goal was to get the President of the respective business unit soaked, and elaborate measures were taken to prevent it, even enclosing Ed Zander in a plexiglass container. Sun t-shirts were distributed to either side and employees showed up in shorts and eye protection. There were super-soakers and waterballoons aplenty. When it was over, there wasn’t a dry eye in the place."
Actually why not?

Why not 'bot' pages?
The careers of the police and prosecutor involved should be ended, for a start. They should also be criminally prosecuted, themselves.

If we can't place reasonable trust in law enforcement... well, then, we are no longer a nation of law (imperfect as that is).

The compensation should also be at least an order of magnitude larger, as only painful (both in publicity and in resulting operating constraints) amounts of money seem to have any real effect on the larger system.

The entire Unix command line is exclusionary. If it wanted to be inclusive 'man' would be called 'help'. We're not using 300bps dumb terminals any more, I fail to see the value in forcing everyone to learn commands like cp and mv instead of copy and move.

...or, you know, we could just fix the underlying social injustices that cause so many people to seek to end their lives that it causes friggin delays in my busy little life. Those jerks.
No I didn't say that. I think that is completely false.

>> A lot of geeks don't like 'bros' and I am doubting that they're hated by women as much. Personal opinion here, but: a lot of women have friends that are bros; a lot fewer geeks have friends that are bros.

I think women that are geeks also have fewer 'bro' friends.

Geek is a property of men and women, it is not a mutually-exclusive group.

Nice try, trying to implicate me in sexism but I do not like it when people try to read things into what I say that I've never implied. I intended one thing, stop trying to use it against me...

What I am saying is that I think a group of non-genderised geeks define the label 'bro' by its negative connotations more so than the greater super set of non-geeks (even those which are of the female gender.) It's a case of a new set of people 'bros' joining another set of people 'geeks'; it's exactly the same group behaviour as you see when people from different cultures immigrate into a country; same us-vs-them group behaviour; same magnification and amplification of negative connotations.

A bro is just a stereotype. People are people and you should get to know them first before rejecting them (and especially if there are negative behaviours that you want to treat.)

Wasn't implying anything ... just making sure you did the test correctly.

And I think you were reading too much into the random placement. The test just picks a number of words for each category at random and then determines whether it's easier for you to categorize certain things together.

You'll be able to respond faster to 'good & saint' and 'bad & killer' than 'good & killer' and 'bad & saint' because your brain categorizes them differently and that difference in performance is what this test measures.
Or they aren't (over)thinking any of that above, and to most people it is a funny play on words since the tool is related to 'man' pages.
