Yeah which is why if you're doing serious shit with Windows you buy either:

1. Thinkpad T or W series

2. Dell Precision

3. HP Z-series.

Nothing else is worth throwing any money at all unless it's for facebook or pr0n usage (consumer).
But no so much to on-premises self-hosting.

As a side note: Aviation Week is an incredible magazine. Next time you are at the magazine rack, be sure to check it out. Our office has a subscription and it just blows me away what is happening in the aviation sector. They cover everything, from jets, military, spy technology, to satellites.
The version of XFCE in 13.10 works well in HiDPI (15" 2880x1620 on my T540p).
While that excuses ignoring the Accept-Language header, it doesn't make sense for overriding the user's explicit configuration in their profile; you wouldn't expect that to be shared.

That, and I'd expect public computers to disallow that sort of configuration anyway, so it would be stuck at the default value, which should be sensible for the location it's set up in; it's not like it would move around...
I've skimmed the links, and have some questions: How does it prevent these things? And why isn't it enabled by default in Windows?
> This is not about "societal benefit". Nobody but Monsanto benefits from Roundup Ready products

That's just not true. Society benefits because we can avoid applying much more toxic and environmentally damaging herbicides and pesticides by using engineered resistance to pests or to harmless herbicides.

> They are a net detriment to society since the continual use of glyphosate will select for Roundup resistant weeds

This is a fallacy. All herbicide use selects for herbicide resistance. Herbicide resistance is a problem completely independent of GMOs, and is in no way exacerbated by using GMOs. Farmers have to use a huge quantity of herbicide regardless of whether they are growing GMOs cotton or organic quinoa.

> Then there's the issue of residual glyphosate in our food supply.

The whole point of using glyphosate is that it's one of the least harmful herbicides ever discovered. There is very little evidence of harm to humans even at much high doses than you would get in a lifetime of eating glyphosate-soaked food. Contrast that to every other broad action herbicide, which have various levels of toxicity but invariably higher than none.
I wrote something like that that also writes the cwd because that made it easier to go back and recall what project I was on if the comment didn't make it explicit.

Aliased it to '@'.

This is something people should write for themselves because the best usage comes from tailoring it to your own particular needs. Also, you have to maintain it then it may not get all featured-up and bloated. Maybe. :)
Would be nice if more information on these exploits were provided, such as would a GrSecurity reinforced sandbox (or SELinux sandbox for that matter) for Chromium have stopped the exploit from gaining a shell, or the OpenBSD priv separation of X

Do they release the exploits after patching? I want to run unpatched versions on said above configurations or at least be able to read the code to see if it's yet another javascript problem.
First I've read

and was scared for a bit.
This is a common grey/black hat SEO trick, basically create URL text that matches as many phrases as possible, and as demonstrated, easy to do with pretty simple cgi scripts and a bit of link seeding.

The theory behind it is that if your site has a lot of relevant "targets" then it must be more important than a site that has only a few targets. (Consider wikipedia as the poster child for this)

When people write naive web spiders in an attempt to create their own crawler, sites like this 'trap' them in an infinite web of apparently unique links. Always a good idea to stop after a few hundred and kick it back to a human to see what is up with that :-)
One good route is to solve a problem you're experiencing yourself (or even better, one that you and some friends / colleagues are all experiencing).

It's how our startup came about -- we built something which did what we needed, and it turned out that a whole load of other people had the same problem (unsurprising with hindsight, but the point is we set out to solve a problem, not to "create a startup")

Happy to share more thoughts if you're interested.

>why wouldn't someone be able to duplicate?

Keeping secrets is only one option. Another is the cost to duplicate. Your myopic understanding of manufacturing processes likely cannot be alleviated in the comments section here, but just consider that the cost to build certain chip fab plants is up in the billions and takes years to build. Once the first entity builds that, it is guaranteed a profit for at least the number of years it takes to build a duplicate manufacturing process. This is true under any definition of a real free market, making your assertion false.

>In other words, fuck man, capitalists hate markets.

Nope, you mean incumbents hate markets. I think you need to revisit the definition of a capitalist. A real capitalist dreams of when they can come in with a better price/service/product and unseat the incumbents.
It is not clear to me that the Venture Capitalist, maligned by this article, is not also working a death slog, trading his youth for glory: I do not get the impression that Paul Graham spends his days relaxing and "enjoying life", and not himself working long, weariful hours. The core thesis of this article--that the concept startups are a con by people to extract value from you--doesn't hold much weight to me: if anything, it is a way for one group or generation to rationalize their own behavior by teaching it as "the way" for the next: it you've wasted your own life, you will be motivated to fight to claim it was not in vain, overestimating the benefits and tying your actions to abstract unmeasurables, such as "glory".
Patrick, in your first paragraph you admit that there are breaking changes to Rust. Yet in your second paragraph you ask for evidence of the lack of stability? Your first paragraph provides the evidence that you're looking for!

Had I (or anyone else) written code a mere week ago using the old Chan and Port conventions, we'd already have to be updating our code. That's not stability.

I think it'll be safe to say that Rust is headed toward stability once you've committed to not making any more breaking language or library changes, you have a separate code branch receiving only fixes, there are releases available, and at least some assurance is given that any issues that do arise will at least be investigated for a reasonably long period of time.

Until we actually get at least one of those releases, I don't think we can consider Rust to be moving toward stability. We'll have to consider it a moving target, and we'll have to continue inquiring as to when it will start to stabilize.

C is irreducibly dangerous, but you can do quite a lot with C++ by avoiding legacy C stuff. Build almost everything on top of the STL and Boost, which are safe.

Michael, what if I told you not only you wouldn't need to overly focus on hitting inbox zero but never have to use email again?

Intentdo was created for busy people like yourself and for the minimalists alike. It works outside the scope of email, it doesn't try to solve the 'problem' of email, it simply gives you a different paradigm by letting you ask to be sent intents rather than emails.

How?

The format:
Intents are quick and encourage clarity.
Own your time, welcome intents when you want to.
If you choose to answer, a yes-maybe-no does it.
This is intent-like: Intention + 4 actions, 250max

Here's the answer to your main concerns:

1. "Have a method for writing emails (on both my phone and computer) without checking them"

The method is the very intent's format to draft a new intent.

"Without checking them" is the Waiting list where you see (if you happen to open it) whose intents are waiting to be welcomed by you thus unlocking its content. Good thing is, you decide when to.

2. "...triage frequent mail sources that I want records of, but never want in my inbox (e.g. certain reports, shipping confirmations for online shopping, etc.)"

Even though Intentdo is only a week old, we're already working to launch upcoming features that will give you what you could say it's a Pinterest for your Dropbox. Interfacing with email, Intentdo not only will inspect your inbox (with your permission) for the services you're subscribed for and want to get notifications of but will organize your files for you.

I'd love you and everyone here to try and start asking people to send you intents rather than emails. I'd love also to know how you feel about it. To me, it's all about the liberating feeling of coming back to owning my own time, but most importantly, the great calming ripple effect it creates by encouraging clarity through the format which brings people to think thoroughly and edit what they're saying. Three words: Clarity. Integrity. Simplicity.

www.intentdo.com , invite code "replace-emails".

Send me intents at ^frank.

Note: just found out about grouper here. It sounds great.
Invite accepted!

The building had not yet been properly attached to the foundation and the wind was record breaking (80+ mph). The wind likely went up under the structure and lifted it enough to push it off of it's foundation. NC is known to have regular hurricanes and tornadoes.

Concrete buildings collapse too, often times with much more devastating results: https://www.google.com/search?q=concrete+building+collapse&s...
Rule of thumb: Question mark in title -> answer is no.

What did your sublet clause say, if it didn't say you needed landlord approval for a subletter? Think about what a lease that doesn't require approval for subletters is really saying.
Lots of comments already here, but anyway I'll try.

I interviewed for a SRE position in Dublin half a year ago, I made it to the on-site interviews but after that I didn't get hired. I agree with pretty much everything the article says, specially the concerns about the interview about Large Scale Design. That one is pretty weird, it's the only one I couldn't really prepare. The only thing I don't agree with are the ending conclusions.

First, I wasn't told anything about where I had failed. It'd have been great to know it, so I could prepare better for the (unlikely) next time.

Second, maybe I'm a pessimist, but I don't feel like _I can compete on this very top level of computer engineering_. I feel more like I was quite lucky to get where I got. Maybe (in fact, I hope) it has something to do with the Dunning-Kruger effect...
As a generalization this might be true, or not... but likely a lot of people commenting here just have a globally high standard of evidence. Why are they deleted from the picture?
In Colombia they have been lobbying hard for the past 20 years or so and they are starting to see the genetically modified fruit of their labor. (pun intended)
It all started in the mid 90's with a huge contract to supply: glifosato aka Roundup® to spray large coca fields throughout the country. The outcome of this experiment has been a new super strain of Roundup resistant coca crop known as "Boliviana negra." A toxicologist, Camilo Uribe, who studied the coca, said: "The quality and percentage of hydrochloride from each leaf is much better, between 97 and 98 per cent. A normal plant does not get more than 25 per cent, meaning that more drugs and of a higher purity can be extracted."

In addition to this Colombia recently signed a free trade agreement with the U.S that introduced a law known as:"Ley 9.70" This law basically forces farmers to only grow food crops from semilla certificada (patented seeds) and guess which companies are supplying these patented seeds? Monsanto, Dupont and Syngenta. This is causing great financial hardship among campesinos as they can't afford to buy seeds every growing season and this has already resulted in peasant protests late last year which resulted in over 40 civilian casualties. As if farmers didn't have it bad enough being stuck in the middle of an armed conflict they now need to comply with this new law or disappear.

If you were genuinely interested in this subject you could do a little independent research of your own and you would see that Colombia is not an isolated incident by any means. Monsanto has been taking advantage of corrupt elected officials all over the developing world to maximize their profits.
> What if historically programmers tried to use FORTH for "AI" and LISP as a "portable assembler"?

Then I guess the Burroughs B5000 and its ilk might have become a popular machine for AI research. We would have had Stack Machines instead of LISP Machines.
The X1 Carbon (or any x/t series thinkpad really) is by far the best choice you can make for a linux laptop. The hardware support is 100% and they are the only ones, hardware quality wise, that are close to or at Apple's level.

"To allow any computer user to watch movies easily streaming from torrents, without any particular knowledge."

The screen shot shows a bunch of very old looking movies, and categories like film-noir and biography. Is there really a vast resource of torrents for all potential movies with enough seeds to stream them for real-time viewing?
Thanks for sharing your valuable experience!

Yes I have the same feeling (for now), that at many times I have to implement things from scratch using Common Lisp, and that pushes me to understand both the essence of the algorithm and how computation works.

As I am still in the early stage of learning Lisp and just switched to CS, I am learning many mind-blowing things at the same time (SBCL+Emacs+Slime), this combination sum up to create a quite steep learning curve, and yes they are just time black holes, I have invested more time than expected every day in them and sometimes have to use Python to get the job done first to make my advisor happy, and then try rewrite in Lisp in leisure time.

Maybe it can be good for me to learn a bit of Lisp every day, because I don't expect to understand all the ideas in the SICP book and remember all rules in the Practical Common Lisp book in 21 days.

As I am doing some research, Python is indeed effective in exploring data/testing preliminary models. But most recently as I just experienced, it gets unbearably slow sometimes. (By unbearably I mean >15 minutes on PC.)

Performance is also important for me, not only for the sake of "big data", but also for self-fulfillment: feels much better if the code gives result in 10 secs rather than several days. (By the way, does CL have mature support in parallelization?)

My lab mates also use Mathematica a lot and it is even more convenient in testing models for data mining tasks, but I have been warned that some packages are buggy at this moment, and most modules are just black boxes that don't allow fine-grained tuning.

I also tried R and at most times don't quite understand the logic of the language. Maybe as you pointed out, it is the gene of the language that determines its shape.

Thanks again for your response, it is good to see someone doing real stuff with Lisp for data mining tasks nowadays.
That is not the difference.

If a farmer doesn't knowingly violate, he will not be prosecuted. Having read a large number of court summaries from Monsanto cases, I haven't yet found one where they brought a case against someone who was simply dealing with accidental contamination.

If copyright infringing files were to end up on my computer by genuine accident, I would not be prosecuted for copyright infringement. For example, if I downloaded a zip file that was supposed to contain an album that I had paid for, but also accidentally contained an extra mp3 of a file I hadn't paid for, no court would find me in violation of copyright law.

There has to be intent, which nullifies the argument that it matters that seed self-replicates.
Their problem is finding the cash to build 2 crash cars - until they have the money to do that, they can't sell, and obviously it's far harder to get investment without the safety certifications.

I've seen they've put a similar power train into the chassis of a Vauxhall VX220, so maybe that's the road they'll take with it. Although that would put them in direct competition with Tesla, so perhaps not.
Upvoted just to see "And" at the top of HN :P

Thanks MC,

Couple quick adjustments:

- Toxic paint is mitigated through encapsulation with spray foam insulation, or proper paint coating.

- Wood studs are not the best way, steel studs are the way to go. Further, because the furring is not structural, you can go 24" wide versus 16".

- Raw containers are cheap and easy to find. Just ask Craig.

The main advantage of containers is their modular capabilities. Produced entirely off site and delivered to client in completed form. Concrete must be site built, which is not a scalable.

People are really more into the aesthetic than anything.

Good points MC, thanks for the comment.
I love this analogy, but the funny thing is that it works both ways: whatever a wolf and two sheep might vote on for dinner, it's not gonna be sheep (or even wolf). Hence, it is the wolves and not the sheep who usually have the greater resentment for democracy.
Is it Time to Abolish Middle Management?
I think the idea is that those films are all public-domain.
Those old movies are purposely used in the screenshot because they're public domain examples. The actual library is as modern as up to date as the pirate bay would be :-P
Reading to Have Read
Exactly my theory. You don't hear many stories about sexism in the Perl community because your standard Perl meetup probably consists of all of the people who also meet up monthly for their LUG meetups.

For those of you who have never been to either, picture a room full of people who remind you of people like Alan Cox, RMS, or ESR.
Of course you are not moot. Moot has his own account on HN :)
So the new Thinkpad keyboard and trackpad are at least as crappy as the ones on the MBP/MBA (low-travel chicklet keys, annoying layout, and a single click-anywhere track surface that's painful to use with hi-dpi displays). I have a T520 (1080p) at home with the nice keyboard/trackpad and a newer T540p (3k) at work. Honestly, I'd still buy the T540p again if I had to. Get yourself a mouse, pay the extra $30 for the nice Intel wifi card, skip the second GPU, and sleep well knowing that you're not going to have hardware or driver issues. The same simply cannot be said about the MBP.
Right. The actual app supports torrents for movies that have non-free licenses as well.
Right, malls are dying in certain areas and flourishing in others. As demographic shifts continue to happen across geographies (and those shifts only seem to be increasing), the very concept of a stationary location of offline commerce ceases to be flexible enough. I don't discount the fact that many or all people would want to try on a $1200 jacket before buying it; simply that the retail model that will thrive in the coming decades involves much greater mobility than a static large shopping center can provide.
Haha. To clarify, It's Sergey Brin AND Larry Page the OP was referring to.
Just for clarification, are you stating that you're proud to be a bigot?

Because your comment kinda comes off like that.
Nice! I want this to continue to grow in popularity and mindshare. It's about time the movie industry stopped being so greedy and selling things using RIDICULOUS drm rules.

Why can I pay $8 for netflix and watch in on my phone, pc, mac, ps3 and ipad - but any newish movie I need to use iTunes and locked there?
So your response to an article explaining how Amazon cranking up their prices now they've destroyed their competition in once niche is to... cheer Amazon on in destroying other niches?
Yify is the top movie uploader on tpb so yeah !
> Great, if the GMO yields less, the farmer doesn't buy it again, and then the market deals with the problem.

sounds great. you're assuming that most people are critical of these crops. have any means to research what was mentioned(ie. internet). and have the means to recover from these loans, but if they did why would they need the loans to buy these crops to begin with?
EMET offers a grab-bag of mitigation techniques that are described in some detail in its manual (PDF download): http://download.microsoft.com/download/4/E/9/4E9A5137-F73D-4...

Some of these techniques are enabled by default or on an opt-in basis in recent versions of Windows, and EMET can be used to enable them on older Windows systems. Other techniques would be too easily triggered by the normal operation of badly-written software, making the software unusably crashy.
Agreed. There's some (alleged) sexism in the full story though.
The allure was that you knew you could look at one store, and then another, without having to drive across town.

Now that we order online, comparison shop online, etc, why would I want to walk through Sears vs JC Penney? (for example) The internet ate the convenience aspect of the malls, and left only the social aspect or the Shopping Experience itself.
Gravitational Waves in the Cosmic Microwave Background
I enjoy two things about going to my local mall...things that I can't get from online retailers: instant gratification and ceremony.

1. Instant gratification....If I'm excited about a new product, I can get up immediately and travel to the store, find and pick up the item. Sure, this entails an effort of its own, but at least I'm taking action instead of waiting for a package to come.

2. Ceremony: You may not appreciate this unless you're a videogame buff, too, but there was nothing like waiting in line for GTA5. It was truly ceremonial... High school students, construction workers, businessmen, etc., all stood with me because we were so excited to tear off the packaging of that game. The store even hosted a party featuring competitions and prizes.

Will malls survive? I don't know....the prices, selection and convenience of Amazon are hard to beat. But my advice is to capitalize on the instant gratification and the ceremonial aspects of shopping in-person. Online retailers haven't yet found a way to duplicate this IMHO.
