> Does RMS go trolling on dev lists for permissively-licensed projects?

Actually, he does. I remember when he went to an OpenBSD list a few years ago[1] and insisted they take out ports for non-free software out of the ports tree.

Well no, thats not the only thing they have done to obstruct the corruption enquiry, they also sacked/redeployed many of the people investigating it, police etc.
I don't have that problem - it works flawlessly all the time. I am using Amazon basics HDMI cable connected via HDMI switcher to the external display (with the desktop, Chromecast and Tronsmart Android stick occupying 3 more HDMI inputs). Try perhaps another HDMI cable?

A judge by definition impartial/neutral, that's the point of a judge.

That's frightening that France and Belgium have the need of a special judge called a neutral judge.
I feel your pain. I was careful to be specific about what I said was valid in the US, both because of very different costs and very different salaries in other parts of the world.
Is there something too involved about an alias in .profile, or a makefile target?
Of course I wonder which path you went through, it is the point of this discussion, and for all the rampant no-holds-barred religion bashing HN usually sees, this is still an above-average forum for this kind of discussion.

I would really like to hear about that, with the only rule that neither of us should try and convince anyone else, and all we say is to be taken strictly personally.

I will start by saying that I actually went through the realization that I had no evidence or need for the supernatural about 1 year ago, at 35 and counting, after reading The God Delusion and then starting my own research path across philosophy, theology and science. I feel like I have reached a conclusion, albeit just a personal one.
I'm sure it's a mix of reasons. Like I said, my guess is half. Also, it wan't an immediate assumption, I've thought about it for a long time. Lastly, I've not suggested people are glad gmail is down or that people are harmed. That hadn't occurred to me; but now that you mention it, you're right, it probably does happen occasionally.
I appreciate the review, but instead of suffering why not just return it? Your describe the item as not fit for purpose, which is, in the eu at least, a valid reason for return.
Thinkpads (T series) are great if you want to drop $2,000 on a laptop and wait a month for it to arive from China. Personally I just spent £700 ($1,150) on an Edge series... hasn't arrived yet so I can't determine if it was a foolish buy.
Thanks for setting the record straight on this. It makes me really sad to read all the comments here that have no clue how treatment of psychiatric emergencies should be done. If this is representative for the United States, I'm sure as hell glad I don't live there. Never been admitted to a psychiatric hospital myself, but I have enough friends who have (serious self-harm, attempted suicide by overdose or firearms). Their stories are like yours. I have never heard of anything resembling the stuff portrayed in this story. Seems to me that the US conflates violent criminals and mental patients, with some very bizarre and ethically horrendous results.
Redis memory optimization – real life usecase
This approach of "pick what works best for you" only works if it's actually true. Christianity claims that it is objectively true, for all people, regardless of whether they believe it. So it's not like a Christian can just change to a religion that "fits" them better on a whim.
Fortunately they haven't done this for 2 years. They killed it when they flipped on DNSSEC because the practice of NXDOMAIN hijacking is incompatible:

Yes that it was it. The French road police. Here's a blog post from the Irish AA about driving in France: http://www.theaa.ie/AA/Ezine/AA-Ezine-May-2013/Driving-in-Fr...

Even so people who are used to dealing with a sympathetic Irish Garda [Police force] are in for a rude surprise if they expect the same in France. Local police can be extremely unsympathetic and they make no allowance for visiting tourists.
I think that's something with my machine, but never wanted to wait for a repair. BTW the HDMI is not a problem: The laptop monitor is often not working when I boot the pc up without any external monitor. But then, attaching one, it will start working.
One of my professors did his graduate work at Yale, and echoes your sentiments about it being a toxic environment.

He stated that Yale's prestige allows the university to garner top researchers and their associated egos. As a result there was significant academic politicking and very little collaboration, at least in the CS department.
My feeling is that they're not more zealous (to be honest, I don't think there's anything wrong with being zealous when you're fighting for a good cause) but rather dilettantes who don't actually understand what FSF is about, or what the various licenses precisely mean. They just find the general aesthetics and rhetoric of FSF and RMS appealing and try to emulate cargo-cult style.

Corporations are people, my friend. That's a legal reality.

Corporations can live forever and suffer only mild losses for egregious ethical failures. They demand sacrifice (of time from the proles, and of ethical compromises from the powerful) that in theory benefits "the company" but actually is for the benefit of the highest officers (priests).

That's not a person. That's a (not necessarily benevolent) god.
My favourite internet company. As soon as it came out, it was clear that it was going to be a big deal. Pretty much every electronic musician I know dumped myspace like a hot potato and eagerly started using SC. The punks took a little longer, but they're there as well now.

All the decisions they've made since then have kept it on the right path. I've said it here before, I think their strategy of keeping souncloud.com itself aimed solely at creators, and having consumers come in through other sites via the API, is genius. If the new VCs try and dissuade them from this, I will be very sad. At least try and make any new discovery/listening features a separate app on a separate domain, please? "content deals with major music labels" sets alarm bells ringing for me.

(Of course the cleverest part was their decision to actually accept substantial amounts of money from their users :)

EDIT: also can you use some of that money to up the streams from 128 mp3? at least ogg or something? my tunes (link in profile ;) which I spend so long mixing sound super-watery on there, which is a shame because that's the main way people listen to them at this point.
No Takeout was affected by the outage as well unfortunately.
I had to check the article date twice. Seems old and kind of just a rant.

Just be glad you're not still messing with XFree86 modeline settings or whatever. Asus makes high quality products at a good price. Their Zenbook line might have something you are looking for. As for Optimus, I used a bumblebee alternative on one that just required a special parent process (optirun or something). The light sensor would give off random keykodes due to a kernel bug that was fixed in master. I put a sticker over the light sensor until this was done. Other than that, everything about the hardware was pretty standard configuration job every step of the way. The latest nvidida drivers are said to support Optimus on Linux. Quite frankly, I enjoyed the battery life immensely when just using the Intel graphics for running Compiz at 60fps no problem.

I'm not sure I'd pay $50 for a game unless it's one I REALLY wanted because friends were playing. I buy a medium amount of games but they are almost all are $20 and under. I tend to not like the big AAA production type of games except for a few exceptions (Mass effect, Uncharted, Skyrim but that's about all) but I love super meat boy, spelunky, bastion, banner saga, and tons of other indie games like them. To me it seems a better business model pay a smaller price from a digital delivery platform (Steam, iOS app store, google play store etc...) that a much larger chunk goes to the actual devs.
Just use IMAP or POP, there's no need for a custom script. Email backs itself up :).
Interesting. Are any groups attempting to track odd routings like this? Seems like it would make for a good research project that would garner plenty of publicity.
This is not the first time ISP deep package inspection cause trouble for League of Legends. A Swedish ISP identified league of legends game traffic as bittorrent and created an unplayable state for about 3 months.

Of course, world of warcraft has had no such issues. There are too many users and too much money, and so bugs get fixed on Saturday night if needed. Others have to just hope the bug gets fixed before the company losses too much money and too many customers.

I would like to see net neutrality laws could impose some liability for ISP who interfere with their customers traffic. It would self correct much of today problems, while still not outlaw filters, DPI and QoS as a technical solution.

Secular Buddhism doesn't make any supernatural claims which means it's completely compatible with Christianity. That's why it also works for atheists.

Emphasis on the secular - traditional sects of Buddhism can have gods, reincarnation etc. It may be clearer to say mindfulness instead of Buddhism as that has religious connotations. It's medically recognised for handling stress.
Not for half the price, but if you're willing to spend just as much on a PC as the MacBook, you can definitely get the same specs and quality. None of those aspects you listed are unique to Apple anymore, from the machined aluminum chassis to magnetic power connectors or superior battery tech (the Sony Vaio Pro 13 gets significantly more minutes-per-watt-hour than a new MBA for example). The quality definitely isn't there if you don't spend the money, though. Most PCs on the shelf in stores are junk.

SoundCloud is on my top 5 sites that I use on a daily basis, there really is no comparison for someone who listens to electronic music.

The sad thing is that their only focus is on creators (subscribers). Customers who only listen to music routinely get the shaft via shoddy quality assurance and lack of discovery features.

Playback, search, browse, and discovery in general routinely fail to load ("Something went wrong. Retry?"). Playing and finding music on their platform shouldn't be such a buggy experience given how long they've been around.
Tech workers have a low female population,

I don't know if that's true, but I think that's what the commenter was saying.
The Christian in you is a good and honorable person; the Hacker News commenter in you knows that such behavior is never rewarded here unless it happens to line up with the HN zeitgeist, which has little patience with any sort of received wisdom that doesn't agree with its own.

I find this really quite marvelous. Who could imagine such a batch of soi-disant freethinkers, who all seem to feel the same need to carefully curate and circumscribe the thoughts they're willing to think?
You mean if the generator chose a random move from the available legal options? Could easily be beat in ~10 moves or fewer, I'd bet.

This seems like a difficult philosophy to live with. You will someday die; does your life thus have no meaning? Everyone ever born will eventually die; does human life as a whole thus have no meaning?

Isolation Levels in Terms of MVCC
Why not just say "starting a business?" I've never seen what is so magically special about "startups" that they deserve to be regarded as inhabiting a separate, higher plane of their own, beyond and above ordinary entrepreneurship as the species has heretofore known it.
Yea, just make an HTTP request from your android app. as simple as that.
To be honest it is not like Apple allows it.

You just have GNUStep, which still seems to be at the same level I tried to used back when WindowMaker was my desktop (1999-2003).

Additionally it is not easy to find out how much of Objective-C, given Apple's changes, is actually supported by clang and gcc.
Actually, it's not exactly two investigations. In criminal cases, if you face at least 10 years in jail, the investigation is not headed by the prosecution or the police, it's a special judge, who's actually a sitting independent judge. And his job is to head an investigation, seeking both proofs for you or against you (with the help of the police, who executes his orders and requests), and then presenting everything to the prosecution and the defense lawyers before going into trial. So because his job is not to convict you, like the prosecution, his investigation is actually much more neutral, with some exceptions.

It's quite a good system in theory, but it has some quirks.
Your App As A Function
Quite cheap, when comparing against the average prices in commercial developer tools.
Cool. In Albania, the vice-primeminister, resigned, went to court and the video+audio was reported "FAKE" (the court sad we don't need external(offered by USA) experts, he was also recorded saying he was friends with the judge of his case). He is now in power again with the party that was in opposition when he was accused.
That's only the case when both players know the openings and follow "textbook" moves throughout the opening. When playing against amateurs, you're usually out of the memorized lines in just a few moves, so at that point it just becomes tactical.
except that there's no real reason for Apple to sell their laptops at that price - they are all made in China with the same cheap parts that everyone else uses, and cheap workers to assemble them. You pay extra for the shiny logo on the top, that's all. I haven't seen anything you could do on a Mac that you couldn't do on the PC, and there are very decent PC laptops out there, way, way cheaper than the Mac alternatives.
It's because in France and Belgium we have a category, called "Magistrat" that contains both the judges (independent, neutral etc.) and the prosecutors (neither independent, nor neutral). So we often discuss it saying that judges are neutral magistrates. Sometimes this is lost in translation :).

Edit : And the Juge d'Instruction IS a special judge, because he doesn't judge anything, his job is to head all investigations in serious and complicated cases. Normally that would be the prosecutors job... so it's an independent and trully neutral man (a judge) doing a prosecutor job, in the interest of the accusation and the defense, at the same time. That's quite special.
More like "Before cancer, I knew I was going to die within a few decades (accidents excluded)" and "After the cancer, I knew I was going to die within a few months/years (miracles excluded"...
"in general suicidal thinking combined with self harm shouldn't be enough to deny someone access to University"

I would agree with you, but I sympathize with the University as well. In our litigious society, Yale could easily be sued by the parents of the suicide victim. Worse, once a school starts "treating" a student for mental health issues they by default assume some responsibility for that person. If the OP did eventually jump from the roof of Vanderbilt hall, people would be asking, "why didn't they send her home?"

The university could have treated her with more compassion and respect, but their ultimate decision to remove her was probably their best course of action.
Serious question: Is there anything resembling the Macbook Pro on the PC front with regards to build quality, overall design, lack of clunkiness, weight, size, lack of annoying half-assed internationalized keyboards, trackpad and wake-from-sleep functionality?

I've owned a high-end Thinkpad, and it was a good laptop. But it didn't come close. That's what I'm asking here. I don't care if it costs > $2,000. Quality doesn't come cheap, but it's embarrassing if Apple is the only player that can do this.
I just like that he gives the provenance. Some sort of official registry can't be far behind.
How to Decrease Your Conversion Rate and Annoy Users
Oh, good Lord! I made my previous comment to you before I noticed you'd thrown this rock at the hornets' nest. Good man! Not that bright, maybe, but with moral courage to spare, and that's a rare pleasure to run across in this degraded age.
At the same prices as the MacBooks, you actually get way better specs and extremely solid build as well. And let's not forget the Macbooks come with drawbacks, such as non-replacable batteries and stuff like that. And I don't like their trackpad either, but that's a matter of taste.

I was raised somewhere between theist and deist, with only the belief that there is some "God" and if you're good you go to Heaven, otherwise Hell. That was it. Before my digits were yet two, I started reasoning about all of this on my own, and came to my own conclusions on them, which were basically uninformed. In my teenage years, I experimented with atheism and settled on agnosticism.

Just a few years ago in my middle-adulthood, I turned to "God and Jesus" in a desperate attempt to keep sanity during really hard times (my wife and kids and I were in the brink of homelessness, with no job and almost no cash, 9000 miles away from home). I really believed it was a mental coping mechanism, but I didn't care at that point.

Our situation resolved, and I ended up returning back to my agnosticism. But existential panic attacks sent me searching more fervently for an answer. I reached out to a non-denominational (i.e. Protestant) pastor, telling him that I wanted to believe in Christianity, but I couldn't violate my integrity, knowing that it's incompatible with science and history.

He gave me a book called The Reason for God[1] which demonstrated that Christianity doesn't conflict with science, and that the Resurrection of Jesus is historically true and accurate as presented in the Gospels. When I finished reading it, I chose to become a Christian.

Eventually, as I kept researching different denominations, I settled on Catholicism as the most likely to be correct. For other Christians curious how I could come to that conclusion, I would recommend The Catholic Controversy[2] by St. Francis de Sales.

Hey guys, I did a iPhone 5s mockup for you in Sketch
This is not a problem with Yale alone. It's a problem with people. Most people have no sense of social justice and have no problem kicking someone like her when she's down.

It's tempting to think most people are good because few people are obviously evil, and that's wrong. Most people are weak. They're just shuffling through life, not giving a shit, and those who end up in power tend to be the worst (rather than being unambitious, they tend to be the ones with empty ambition).

Here's why this sort of situation, within the U.S. social model, will never get better.

Technology's somewhat different (for now, but the disgusting mainstream business/MBA culture continues to invade because engineers do not fucking fight for themselves) because a high-talent person (even with intermittent health issues) can add a lot of value. However, for most of white-collar America, "work" is just pointless private-sector social climbing. Pure image, no substance, because the work is not demanding and Making Decisions (parable of the bikeshed) is valued in its own right.

The only way to resolve those environments and pick winners among the horde of petitioning narcissists is to set up pointless reliability contests and see who drops first. This idea that it's somehow wrong to discriminate against, or turn one's back on, those with organic physical or mental health issues throws a wrench in that whole game, because transient, context-driven illness (physical and mental) is the core of the selection process. It's what selects people out. The whole point of the old-style corporate-ladder game is to load people up with easy (and often purposeless) work, but in extreme volumes, and presume that those who break last are the best, and those who deserve to lead. (Actually, the opposite is true. Superficial reliability and creativity are negatively correlated, but that's another discussion.) But if you start designating specific illnesses as formal disabilities that must be accommodated (which, from a social justice perspective, one should) that game stops working.

Could you imagine telling an investment bank that people with clinical depression could no longer be expected to work over 60 hours per week? So many people would get themselves diagnosed with depression that people with actual depression would be assumed to just be "faking it" anyway.

What the OP experienced at Yale is wrong, but it's no different from what she'd expect in The Real World.
It is solid advice. Unless you don't need to play the latest games.

I bought a MacBook Air a few months ago and found out that a lot of blockbuster games from a few years ago perform pretty well, as do a lot of the indie games (from Steam, for example). I even bought a wired xbox360 controller for some of these games (Mark of the Ninja, for one).

But then I haven't really done much gaming in the past few years, so there are/were tons of (older) games I haven't played yet (BioShock, Portal 2, Mark of the Ninja, Borderlands 2 etc.). And I also don't mind turning down some of the graphic effects.

Still, it's possible...
