There are CPUs that have been stalled by RAWs and appeared in the last 10 years, and they are here to stay.

That being said, I think the downvotes are unfair on your post. The author of the post is writing about CPUs that are indeed unlikely to be ever stalled by RAWs.
Never faced problems with wifi, basically because I have a UPS backup. I have a time based work around for washing clothes and water heater though, start the process of washing machine at around 3-5 AM in the morning and turn on the water heater. By the time the power is gone, your major chores are done.

Other workaround include, switching to CFL instead of tube lights(Save power and net monthly bill, which can be adjusted for UPS expenses), using LPG instead of induction cooker etc.

LED lights are going to be a big thing in India. Plus I can't wait intelligent Solar energy hacks at least for lighting needs. We need innovation there.
The industry has already taken care of building (b), there's little risk of that at this point.

I suspect it goes something like this: if we don't do it we will lose money and possibly our jobs. It's us or them, and for most people that is then not a difficult choice.
This is pretty fun lol. I searched for Santa and it said 99% female haha.
One thing where it is useful is manipulating image data. You can get a raw pointer from the Bitmap class you can then manipulate with unsafe code which is orders of magnitude faster than the normal variant. Basically you're saying, for a single method or a block of code "Please turn off all safety nets, but only for these 20 lines". The places where it's useful or necessary are quite few, though.
Eric Schmidt in particular is an Obama donor and adviser, and since 2008, chairman of the New America Foundation, which "does not believe in immediate government deficit reduction; it believes that will only make the situation worse. Instead, as stated in the paper, it has other suggestions, including investing in a sustained infrastructure program, lasting from five to seven years, to create jobs and demand."

Sounds extremely right-wing libertarian to me! /s
"There are also some unexpected restrictions on some titles, such as books that are viewable only on 1 or 2 of your devices..."

You can check this when purchasing on Amazon: the small print you're looking for in the Product Details section is "Simultaneous Device Usage: Unlimited". If you don't see that, it means your Kindle book is restricted (I believe to 5 devices simultaneously, though perhaps it varies from book to book.)
that's what politics encourage you to do, so off course those guys will be billionaires.
I'm still confused by the use of '.' to conflate namespaces & classes, and other things together. A separate character, like ':' or something else would've helped me :)

Or GACs, or finding the right System.Data.SQLite module for your app - http://system.data.sqlite.org/index.html/doc/trunk/www/downl...

Or figuring out how exactly deployments/setups work - where things get put, etc.

I don't know much about java - but it seems easier there - here is the .jar, simple .zip file, look at the manifest - and you are done.

I agree. As a programmer/admin, my password storage needs are different than that of an average enduser. Security of my passwords, keys, etc is also significantly more critical and failure cause much more damage. So while KeePass/Lastpass etc might work for an average end user, they suck for my usage scenario.

Never used roboform - its not available for linux, so can't comment there.
>in the echo chamber that is Silicon Valley on CalTrain it was macbooks all the way down the car. It was the first time I had seen the entire car with nothing but Macbooks.

I notice this in the front cabins of flights nationwide, as well as on the Acela. I think it is less a phenomenon of Silicon Valley than that of crystallising class boundaries.
Actually, .NET was in pretty much the same place, because generics were only implemented in .NET 2. They chose to add the support directly to the VM, though and break compatibility.

That being said, Java broke other things along the way back then, if I remember correctly, so in hindsight type erasure for fake generics was maybe not the smartest choice.

Though this must be appreciated, but this isn't new. Even in India. This thing has be done many times and failed to gather much support, basically at some point you begin get frustrated to be putting so much mechanical effort while an automated solution exists and can't be put to use because of power shortage. Most people don't have hours to be cycling to wash clothes, because if they wanted to- They might as well wash them manually with their hands(Note, this is super common in India).

Its a bit like programmers doing manual work, what could be automated. And it looks cheap and is frustrating.

Either way, India is in desperate need for energy related hacks. Solar energy offers a lot of hope. Even things like LED lights, better battery technology, bicycle pedal assists et al can do great help in India markets.

For package management I recommend you use NuGet and you should be good. No need to visit an sqlite website to download anything. Just type

Install-Package System.Data.SQLite

In your VS package manager console and you are good to go.

Deployment/Setup is not really something C# or .NET cares about, there are many different forms of deployment. (IIS, Windows desktop, ClickOnce, Azure) and in each case you can do it in several different ways. I agree it's tricky to know what goes where sometimes, but it's more a problem with those targets than with how you build the application in question.
The hypocrisy, it burns!

So it's ok to exploit one's personal situation (family and financial commitments stopping one from moving to a location where the cartel is not in force, for example), but hey, no physical violence please, psychological one will do!

There is a main difference between the two actors: employers own original capital, employees don't. The penalty for employers (losing some profit if all workers quit or get fired) is virtually nonexistent: limited-liability companies are set up with the explicit aim of exonerating capital owners from responsibility beyond the invested capital. You lose the company, you lose a bit of capital; but in most cases, there is more where that came from. Workers don't own original capital (which is why they are workers, after all). The penalty for them is much higher, they could lose their house and/or livelihood.

Refusing to consider the fundamental imbalance of labor relationships is disingenuous at best. It's sad that we're still debating this same stuff in 2014.
In general Microsoft provided an ODBC driver over flat files that would at least give you limited SQL query capabilities.
The remote repo, local repo and working directory are the strict minimum to work efficiently with git. To be fair, I barely use the stash, and if you're ok with that you can always use `git commit -am`, which commits every changes without going through the index. Lots of people do it, and I believe this is acutally how most people start with git.

It's an error to fear the number of "Places". They are here to help you, not to prevent you from working. If you don't need them, don't use them: if you're working alone you don't need a remote repository. You can always add this place in your places set at a later time. If you don't need the stash, don't use it.

The approach of the post is top-down, which is an enormous error: git is such a beast that it's impossible to grasp all its mechanics before diving in it. You should use a bottom-up approach, start with the simple tools, and gradually go up _as you need it_. Then, you start learning about `git rebase -i`, and you can't make without an index... But that comes at a later time.
I wonder how someone really believing this can go on being motivated to do anything.
I don't get it.

Do you mean that you actually believe that all this women in tech stuff is nonsense and the reason there are so few women in tech has nothing to do with culture but is due to innate biological differences but that you feel that your opinion is not given space in modern day discourse and hence you're forced to toe the party line; just like how your parents made you recite this prair which you grudgingly went along with but actually didn't believe in?

It's the only interpretation I can find, although equating a belief in gender-distribution in tech being non-cultural with atheism seems like a bit of a stretch to me.

Whatever it was; sleep tight.
From my experience, syntax tends to align with bike shedding. Semantics, on the other hand, tend to be nuclear reactors.
Neat. Should probably call out that it's an API for "gender classification of english names". Did you build this mostly for learning/personal purposes?

It is true. You appear to be talking about something else.
This collusion happened in a regulated market, though.
Yet, when I look at the data, Apple engineers get paid below the market average and they work at one of the most profitable companies of all time.

DSPs are still a hugely important and evolving part of the computer architecture ecosystem, not to mention an important part of the market.

Considering how many engineers would gladly take a below market wage for an opportunity to work at Apple, I don't think that is necessarily out of line with market forces doing their usual "magic". Even economists would admit that wages are not the sole determinant of where people choose to work.

The only thing I'm familiar with about Jobs that relates to free market ideology, might be Ayn Rand, whose books he supposedly enjoyed.

I have seen many people take her books from the point of view of the creator or individualist struggling against the collective. Some take inspiration from that, while disgorging the rest of her ideas. I know many people that blend up a sort of free market economics + social libertarian + limited socialism (eg healthcare) world view.

Absolutely. Ogg Vorbis could have crushed the big licensed formats, though, if the Xiph Foundation had had any clue about telling a good story.

I love Persona and I love Ogg Vorbis, but both fail(ed) at understanding what _normal_ people look for in authentication/audio compression formats.
One use I've come across for inferring genders was tackling record depupliction across multiple data sources. In one data set we might have the gender information of an individual but have it be missing in another.

Turns out gender is great to include in a blocking keys to reduce number of comparisons. Extrapolating an inferred gender in the dataset without one was incredibly helpful.

Is that 60 (int) or 60 (float), or is that 60000?
Sorry, I meant a null coalescing property access operator that returns null if the left hand side is null.

Today you write something like this

var street = (user != null && user.Address != null) ? user.Address.Street : null;

When you could use something like this

var street = user?.Address?.Street;
From experience, the bigger risk is not from genuine customers (even though some of them will share it with friends or even post it online for others). The egregious ones are the dedicated "pirates" who purchase the book using stolen credit card data, leaving you with a chargeback penalty fee while they upload the book to websites plastered with Adsense ads so they can profit from it.

Since you can't stop the dedicated ones, better to provide your genuine customers with the best experience you can.

That's because having Apple on your resume is worth your weight in diamonds. Same thing with Pixar & Lucas Arts(Industrial Light & Magic) if your career is in the digital-entertainment production world. These are especially true as you grow closer to the age of 40.

Who's debating anything here? Literally the only thing I did is relay what the actual ideology is, compared to what the author claimed it is. You reacted viscerally without any further consideration. I actually was careful to put in the last section to specifically try to prevent your type of response.
I am perplexed at to what point you are trying to convey. I have some clarification questions for you in response.

How did a statue provide more "nuance" to your education? Are you under the impression that a sculpture somehow guarantees accuracy or breadth of education? Here in the US we have thousands of such statues and "grander" commemorations as well. Is that a voucher for the sum quality of our history education?

>> It is easy to focus on what terrible times slaves had - 'wasn't it terrible' - but the more interesting stories and the bigger picture are elsewhere. For starters, it was not the slaves that freed themselves (Haiti being an exception), the campaign was a Quaker thing, an understanding that God would not have thought it right

Your Quaker example is one of the most basic factoids of slavery history. I was taught it in elementary school. It is also a small part of the story that is largely based in religious moral glorification, a major theme in European revisionist slavery history. And do you have an example of a curriculum where it is taught that "slaves freed themselves?" I have never once in my life heard this theory postulated, perhaps it is not as common as you imply? Also, what do you mean by "more interesting stories"? To whom exactly? Perhaps a modifier that indicates --TO YOU-- would be appropriate here?

Have you really been exposed to the tremendous corpus of truly horrifying artifacts, down to paperwork, that came out of the slave trade era? Having been educated in academically-rigorous inner-city public schools, I challenge your schooling in this area, because you seem very blithe about the overwhelming ratio of horror vs. "it-wasn't-so-bad-compared-to-indentured-servitude". Have you really seen the layouts of the most common British and Dutch intercontinental slave ships? Do you know the voyage mortality rate and the way the bodies were disposed of (or left to decompose while attached to other, alive humans)? We are talking hundreds of thousands of recorded cases by the slavers themselves here. And these are just the most common examples. Why is minimization of these facts important to you, in favor of political history? Are the two really mutually exclusive?

As to the rest, why you would go on about all this in the commentary regarding a well-executed website about first-hand accounts of American slave experiences? Does your school's statue and some vague academic factoids somehow invalidate these accounts?

In conculsion, is this really an appropriate place to point out that there is more to the history of slavery than atrocity? Is that fact not entirely self-evident to anyone of HN's mean-intelligence level? What has the contribution to the matter at hand been here?

The market being regulated doesn't necessarily prevent collusion from happening, but makes it illegal when it does happen.

Andrea is a female name in Spain, unless it's in very specific regions that I don't know of (source: I'm Spanish). I think you're right about Italy, though.
Like in languages like python or most functional languages where you can deconstruct a returned tuple. Imagine a function that returns a point tuple. Instead of this:

var p = SomeFunc();
print("X value is "+p.X);

You would do this

(x, y) = SomeFunc();
print("X value is "+x);
I had a discussion with somebody who knows about XP Embedded, which is apparently a lot scarier than regular XP. For one thing it's used in a lot of applications where credit card readers are attached, and for another thing the system requirements went from 128MB to 1GB between XP and 8 which makes upgrading really unattractive.

The path of least resistance for the people I talked to seems to be moving to embedded Linux or a Android and rewriting all the software. But they weren't terribly happy about it.
Seriously, VS is amazing so I see it as a point in favour more than against. If you worry about the fact that it can cost a lot of money, you can use the Express version that is free and once you get going if you are having some revenue it's a product worth buying.

DO NOT USE!!

This is from Visual Studio 2003 and will be a terrible, terrible guide. Yes, that's 2003, over a decade ago.

C# programming has moved far away from the Java inspired boiler-plate of that time (as I assume Java has).

For example the properties tutorial is completely wrong as it doesn't include the new simple syntax which you should be using 95% of the time `public string Name { get; set; }`.

Also the way people use objects in C# has fundamentally shifted, in 2003 people didn't really get OO programming or when it was useful so almost everything was an object, frustratingly so at times.

And of course .net 3.5 & 4 have introduced massive programming paradigm shifts, transforming how you write C# completely, which aren't mentioned here, lambda expressions, async/await and extension methods.

(On top of that MS has never been very good at writing good example code anyway, generally use their code as documentation, not as inspiration. Their 'example' projects are often things to be laughed at, not imitated).
Let's not delude ourselves into thinking the people who are in group (b) are the ones who have enough money to afford a high-bandwidth internet connection, a modern computer, and the knowledge to know what torrents and the accompanying technology are.

The vast majority of people will be using this to watch movies they don't feel like paying for. There might be a handful who genuinely can't access it, who have no way to legally pay for it outside of handing over a substantial amount of their small wealth, and they paradoxically also have access to an internet connection strong enough and a computer powerful enough that can handle streaming these movies. However, they do not represent the vast, vast, vast majority of users.

I'm a .NET developer who uses linux from time to time. Mostly the reasons are licensing costs, linux being easier to develop on in some other languages, and personal growth.

The point is that we can't take a market with N regulations, see what happens with (N-1) regulations being followed, and then say "see, that's what would happen without any regulations!"
