How is this an issue of partisanship?

This is the CIA hacking the Senate. It's not GOP vs Democrat or even Executive vs Judiciary vs Legislative.

Besides, I think it can be entirely fair for newspapers to pose the question of "Is this tantamount to treason?", and let people decide for themselves.
DLLs are signed. But they aren't checked every time a DLL is loaded. It absolutely obliterates load time if you have to go through every byte of all your DLLs and hash them. (You have the option to turn this on within the registry, though)

Signing is almost useless in .Net. And it's certainly not in place for security purposes.
SpaceX - Hawthorne, CA (LA) - No remote, US citizen/PR only

If you follow HN, you know about SpaceX. We are disrupting the "space space" by developing reusable launch vehicles and spacecraft. A couple of weeks ago we brought a rocket down from Mach 10 to a soft landing on the ocean:

DraftSmarts: Using game theory to perfectly draft
Many open source projects use IRC as a main communication channel. I've heard that newcomers find IRC hard - they are used to Skype, Hangouts, chat apps, etc. How is this barrier overcome?
Writing to the GAC is easy, but assemblies in the GAC are strongly-named. Actually replacing one without the private key would require forging a signature, which is what parent was probably referring to. You can give an assembly the same name, but if it's signed with a different key it gets a different strong name (and therefore goes in a slightly different directory).
This is wild. It seems to support that argument isn't "thing" that you "have". Instead it's a description of the state of a brain. And, perhaps most importantly, that brain state isn't necessarily fixed. Autism isn't a fundamental property of the brain state. It's only a description of the current state. And with great effort, and a lot of luck, that state can be changed. Wild.
The fact that you can even do this without setting off a ton of alarmbells about failed checksums is what really scares me.

More interestingly, I read something not to long ago that the GBA games released for the 'Ambassador' program on the 3DS are also run right on the hardware (For better or worse). I feel like that means the GBA's processor is also inside of the 3DS, probably because for 'DS Mode' to work it'd have to have a compatible sound processor in there somewhere.
... Or also never fix anything that we won't be able to sell and make money from (this is, the next shiny thing, whatever it happens to be at the time).

The cognitive hazard is a good observation.

But I think the most important one is the imbalance of interest, which is where open source shines: MS gets zero value from fixing this bug and a lot of value from adding new features, but for this one developer this bug could have been the most important issue on the road to his company's "value" (their own product's ship date).
Shouldn't have to be fixed. This is fucking around with vaccinating kids. People should go to jail. One guy did go to jail and the US has been demanding his release.

This. One bug in IE9 clickOnce launching thanks to them changing how download prompting works.

1. Reported to connect whilst in preview release status. Closed. Reported again. Closed. FULL test cases provided.

2. We're a gold partner with a £500k spend a year on licenses. Partner support. 19 hours on the phone over 6 months, blame shifting between the IE and .net teams and a daily call to get the case closed without resolution. Got a registry patch from ass-end support after 4 months that we have to ship to 2000 users at 200 different companies rather than an upstream fix. This checks a check box in the security settings.

They broke their own product and won't fix it. Basically you can't use JS to redirect to a clickonce URL.

Now today, IIS just stopped serving shit with no errors, nothing. Can't get anything out of minidumps+windbg. Just stops. None of our code is running.

Who am I going to call?

Redhat that's who.

How would you enforce that? First, hashing every byte of every loaded DLL destroys your runtime.

Second, if you're able to modify one DLL, you could overwrite whatever DLL was tasked with computing the checksum.
Steve, it is a bit condescending to imply I don't know what I need for my use case.
What is there would be a place where all skilled professional would post offers to do work and describe what kind of work they do. One type of work per account/post or something. And feedbacks and rate for this type of work. So if you had broken off outside AC discharge pipe, you could hire Joe with 5 stars for doing exact this level of work for $25/hr, but once you got problem with busted sewer pipe somewhere under your house you could only find Dan with team of 5 people who deal with only that kind of serious problems for $300/hr for whole team.

In such artificial scenario, would you hire both in different situations or you still would go with more expensive Dan and his team? If you answer would be former, then it is inefficient market.
Given that (1) you're an expert in these areas and (2) you found no points in the author's work worth refuting, I guess it follows that the author is actually an expert as well.

I'm predicting an entire X-men reboot done more in the style of the Avengers movies. To date, the effects, casting and story for the X-men movies, while fine for the time, have been a big downgrade from the entire Avengers line-up.

> hype and fan expectations make Avengers 2 an inevitable let-down

I'm hoping it isn't. The second Captain America movie was a huge upgrade over the first IMHO, and I thought Thor 2 was at least as good as the first one. The Iron Man movies have been relatively good as well (sure they're going down a bit, but they're at least entertaining).

If the 80s were the action star decade, the 2010s are the Marvel movie decade.

> I'd assume they can charge whatever they want for resident's time, and add enough peer review to keep malpractice costs down. I'd also assume it's much cheaper to use a resident than a (not sure of the term) practicing physician (?)

Residents are certainly cheaper than attending physicians, and this is what they already do (Scrubs is, I have been told by many, a very accurate depiction of what a hospital actually looks like in this regard). Residents are already paid what amounts to minimum wage or less when you factor in the amount of time they spend. (Keep in mind that they are also paying back medical school loans off of this same stipend).

I'm not sure what you mean by "add enough peer review", but attending physicians are already responsible for residents, but even then the threat of malpractice is already incredibly high.

The short answer is that, as any engineer who's ever hired a bunch of interns at once knows, no matter what you do, training residents costs more money on average than it saves. That's why the government has to foot the bill already - if hospitals could find a way to keep their costs lower with this strategy, I guarantee you it'd be one of the first things they did.
You didn't even read my post. I said calling a livery car. Aka a car service. Aka the exact same guys that come when you use Uber. Car services have existed for longer than the internet has. Car services are different from cabs. It is illegal to hail a car service in NYC, you can only hail yellow cabs.

Quite literally the EXACT driver in the EXACT car will come if you use Uber in my neighborhood because my local car service works with Uber. It costs more on Uber than if you call them directly, of course.
That's exactly what it is. Same with dental schools, which is why we end up paying so much for what is typically routine technician level work. Supply of dentists and doctors in the US are kept artificially low.

Unions perform similar functions for blue-collar type work.
Suggesting that autism can be healed or that there are children "who no longer have autism" is very misleading. Individuals can learn how to deal with the symptoms of autism and how to appear "normal" to others, but that doesn't make it a cure. It's merely a way to try to fit into society that sometimes works out and sometimes doesn't.

Edit: It would be helpful to know why I'm being downvoted in this thread. What I stated about the DSM-5 diagnostic criteria isn't wrong; that doesn't mean I agree with it.

> If you want advance[d] techniques, the primary resource should be Emacs Lisp Manual, Emacs docstrings, and learn[ing] code written by package maintainers.

(I'm also learning English, so I know that having your mistakes pointed out helps - that's what the [] are for in the quote)

Yeah, been there, done that. :) Docstrings and easy access to source code (find-function, find-library) are a great strength of Emacs - not only the documentation is of great quality, but it's mostly up-to-date. But going through packages' sources is not always pleasant: some authors are not very good with English (like me, for example), others have a dislike for writing comments, yet others are biased against cl-lib or too much in favour of eieio and so on. It's still a great learning experience, but it takes more time than it could take if the content was presented more systematically and in a more readable manner. Like in a book. Or a series of articles, or something. Note: I am thinking about writing something like this myself, but I don't feel confident enough just yet.

> someone advised me to stick to stock Emacs

I think it's stupid advice - bad for both programmers and non-programmers. If you're a programmer, using Emacs is (should be) about endless customization, tweaking and - you guessed it - programming your editor to do your work for you. In this case learning to use C-f instead of right arrow is so stupid it hurts - you should learn about define-key, make-sparse-keymap, global-set-key, describe-keymap (and generally describe-...) and of course apropos instead. I guarantee it will take you less time than making C-f a habit! That's the way I learned Emacs: I started learning with Emacs Lisp Manual, not a tutorial or Emacs Manual and it got me up to speed in no time at all. Instead of learning what keys to press to do something it's better - again, for programmers - to just learn the name of a function which does what you want. It's true that I don't use many standard keybindings and I remapped most of them, but this is ok, because this is my editor and nobody else is going to use it anyway. And when I started fiddling with packages I already knew how to hack them into shape and dig through their code, which is infinitely better than just knowing where to find them and praying they have any docs at all :)

And for non-programmers, sticking with vanilla Emacs makes it unnecessarily painful experience, with 2/3 of useful features disabled by default and without access to the functionality available via packages, which I'd call really essential. For non-programmers vanilla Emacs is not that much better than Notepad++ or Gedit (if at all, considering weird key bindings!) and it's pointless to stick to it just to "learn about Emacs philosophy" - non-programmers won't benefit from "the Emacs way" (which is: being an infinitely programmable editor!) at all. It's much better for them to grab some Emacs starter kit, like Prelude or any other starter kit out there and then use customize-... interface to tweak what they need.
My point with the SBA study was not that it estimated compliance costs (as it clearly estimates cost of regulations), but simply to demonstrate that the scope and breadth of federal (and likely state) regulations have grown dramatically, and have a real impact on the economy. The SBA study also supports the notion that regulatory costs disproportionately impact small business, which is relevant to the basic discussion being had on this page. As table one from the SBA study shows, federal tax regulations cost three times as much (per employee) for firms with less than 20 employees than they do for firms with more than 500. There are many other studies with similar findings, and I will not bore you with a list of them, but they almost invariably find that regulations have increased in the last 40 years, that compliance costs have increased, and that small businesses have been disproportionately impacted.
