Rulers can certainly provide rules and conventions. But that is not the only, or best, place they can come from. Rules are usually emergent, and these kinds of rules are better suited to the communities they arise in, since they are tailor-made for the circumstances and preferences of the people from which they emerge. Contrast this with Federal rules and regulations which have little or nothing to do with the way life is lived in rural Alaska. But this is the same old argument about the failures of central planning that has been ignored by progressives and conservatives for more than a century.

See: English common law prior to being co-opted by the state.

People who think like this suffer from a lack of imagination, in my opinion. They are people who cannot imagine that others can negotiate or have negative experiences of being ruled over, thus must be dictated to.

Felix the Microsoftie here. You've been able to use C# code and compile for Linux for a while now - thanks to Mono. The challenge is that the Windows implementation has one code base while Mono has a complete separate code base.

The Mono community was essentially forced to re-implement .NET because no open source implementation was available. Customers have reported various mismatches, which are hard to fix because neither side can look at the code of the other side. This also results in a lot of duplicated work in areas that aren’t actually platform specific. The best way to build a cross-platform stack is to build a single stack, in a collaborative manner. Mono and .NET aren't one, but they'll be able to work together in an unprecedented way. There's Linux stuff in Mono that we would like to use (and vice versa).

To answer your last question: Yup.
If I remember the old newspaper days correctly, pull quotes and boxes were used to enhance context via additional quotes, facts or summaries instead of repeating the content that's already in the article. The other reason for having them was to make a longer piece more scannable, which doesn't work as well when you have to scroll.
This is a design value in Erlang - fail the process, let the supervisor restart it, rather than handling a lot of specific edge case failures. I haven't done much Erlang programming for a while (~decade), but it was one of the things I really appreciated about it.

Its a hair more than one Big Mac (530 cal), Quarter Pounder with Cheese (520 cal), or Quarter Pounder Deluxe (540 cal), or Large Fries (510 cal), exactly one Quarter Pounder with Bacon and Cheese (600 cal), and less than one Bacon Clubhouse Burger (720 cal) or Double Quarter Pouder with Cheese (740 cal).
Beer and alcohol has quite a lot of sugar.
Point being, I/O doesn't square with that concept. For some reason, every time I point this out, I'm accused of not appreciating the beauty of pure functions. I love pure functions. Maybe they're not appreciating the ugly reality of I/O?

> Typewriters are subject to attack, but it's a much more laborious and non-scalable process.

I definitely subscribe to the idea that security is not about making unauthorized access impossible (no such thing), but rather about making it prohibitively expensive (both in terms of resources and risk).

In that light, it should surprise no one that government agencies have always had the ability to spy on citizens when sufficiently motivated. What is truly concerning is that per-capita, it is becoming more and more affordable for agencies to spy on every single person everywhere, all the time.
Yeah there are laws, but you have to catch it, and you have to report it and sometimes you don't realize you've been defrauded until months later. Hackers in my experience don't empty your account out, they charge $30 here, $19.99 here, sign up for this thing for a monthly charge of $9 you didn't realize. My time and stress costs me. And you can lose money.

It's best to just not have to deal with it. My credit card number has been put up for sale twice now, twice. Because I used it at a Target and a Home Depot. Ok, I just don't want to go through that again. I don't care if there are laws, if I use cash, I'll be fine. It's no problem, cash is accepted everywhere. I'm not likely to be mugged where I live and I don't carry a lot of money.
Your analysis is absolutely solid, but I'm not sure anyone read this and thought "Oh gee how nice of M$ to give back".

In the end I think this is overwhelmingly a net positive for both MSFT and developers.

Sure it does, and composes well under it.
Universal search (once a part of Android) has long been stripped out due to patent issues with Apple.

The app permissions system on Android is all or nothing. Which I think would benefit from a more rigorous approval process. All the access is disclosed though before install.

I've never seen an app result in those listings. Maybe no apps support it, or it is very hard to see the app results.
This paragraph made me smile:

> Since Dalvik only compiled at runtime, the compiled code was never written to disk. [...] This would lead to a lot of disk thrashing [...] Since ART is already compiled, the compiled code can be paged out to disk

(emphasis mine)

It's funny that we still call disk any slower, non-volatile memory (and it's even funnier to imagine an Android phone with an actual disk).
Interesting. So, it seems like you aren't respecting robots.txt. I picked Old Navy, as it was on your supported stores page [0], and went to their robots.txt [1]

User-agent: *
Disallow: /buy/
Disallow: /checkout/

So, do you have permission to violate robots.txt, as I'm sure there is some automated interaction with checkout/purchasing pages? Or I am I missing something about how TwoTap works? Scraping is one thing, but accessing when the management of the website prohibits it seems like a big no no.

If a person makes a direct threat then yes, obviously the employer can take action to protect their work force.

But why do you think of violence when we're talking about mental illness? The vast majority of violent crime is committed by people who do not have a mental illness.

Your comment is stigmatizing and ignorant. OP is male. You do not seem to be askin about the risk of violence because of his maleness even though most violent crime is commited by men.

About one in six people over 16 have a significant mental health problem. The US has a population of hundreds of million people over sixteen - let's say 250million. That gives about 41 million people with a significant mental illness. Each year about 16,000 people are murdered in US, so even if every single murder was committed by someone with a mental illness you still have 41million (minus 16,000) safe people who have a mental health problem. But research suggests that only about 10% of mirder is committed by someone with a mental illness.

I'm seeing I/O as "side effects with possible random error conditions". I really don't see how that squares with functional purity.

It's late on EST but I promise if you put effort into explaining a higher-order take on this I'll put effort into reading and understanding it tomorrow. Have a good night.
If you are going for the "shell as a barrel" solution you might as well maximize the utility and make it either silenced (captive piston) ammo: http://www.sadefensejournal.com/wp/?p=1812

Or make it electronically fired multishot using a superposed load like the Metalstorm: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metal_Storm
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superposed_load

That being said, while metal home use printers won't be feasible anytime soon, FDM plastics are getting much, much stronger (Ulthem etc) and being released to prosumer market at an impressive rate. Having a barrel stand up to a dozen shots or so will not be a problem for long.
Make it harder and harder to vote, make people's votes less likely to have any impact, have two parties, all while rarely having candidates the any more than shills for the companies that sponsored them. It's like a perfect storm of terrible voter turnout, but not by chance, since people who have lived in the same place for 20 years and are old enough to easily take a day off are most likely republican.

Maybe voting shouldn't be a one day affair. Maybe it should go for an entire week. Maybe candidates should have a chance even without heavy corporate backing.

This is incredible. I come back after cooling down to see whether or not you responded and I see that you've managed to add yet another layer of straw man. This time creating a employer-employee relationship out of thin air when the subject of discussion was about coworkers. I didn't even SAY anything last time!

I'll certainly concede I could have communicated better; that's basically always true anyways because NOT PERFECT. But the idea that I could have gotten through to you, who can't seem to reply without figuring out a way to twist what I've said, is ridiculous.

It's over one and a half McDoubles (390 cal), or one and two thirds McChickens (360 cal).

At least according to the top result. I'm not sure why different things say different numbers.

Edit: The official site actually gives slightly lower numbers. And apparently a cheeseburger or grilled onion cheddar is 290/300, so exactly two.

A quarter pounder deluxe is hardly a 'snack' either.

Nice choice of music for the video. :-)

This looks great. Will there be a pre-launch documentation release? If I were going to mess around with it, it'd be nice to be able to think about it for a day or two.
Good, because the spy agencies of the world have an even deeper library of techniques to handle espionage off of typewriters than off of computers.

About [1]: IMO [2] is a much better source for what went wrong in WW2 in Switzerland. Lots of work has gone into this, and it isn't biased for the Swiss side at all, even though the Swiss government has sponsored it. IMO the gold trade was defendable, given the geopolitical situation for Switzerland during the height of the the Third Reich - it was completely surrounded. What's most despicable about that time is how Jewish refugees have been turned back (even though I have to add that this was not the case for everyone, Switzerland harboured ~115k Jewish refugees at the end of WW2 [3], while 15-25k were refused).

IMO it's commendable though that the Swiss government was not defensive at all when the gold issue came up again in 1996. Legally they could have defended themselves using the treaty signed with Washington post WW2 (~250M CHF) - instead it caused a majority of Swiss parliament to spawn quite a large program [4], which resulted in extensive documentation, a 295M CHF victim fund as early 1997 and a $1.25 billion settlement later on.

I don't know how much better you could expect any government to handle this situation after the fact.

The only problem with early stage companies having a capitol cushion is the decreased mandatory competitiveness.

Thank you for your input. The one person = one language is echoed by eande and wooyi too, so maybe I'll try that. My mom takes care of him half of the week in the day time and speaks Chinese to him, so that's why I was trying to speak some English to him since he doesn't get much exposure to English (no daycare yet). I may be exaggerating a bit on the 40% though, it's probably less than that, mostly just on some vocabulary that doesn't come out naturally in Chinese for me.

I found myself on the receiving end of this product recently, and I felt like I was in a weird pseudo-uncanny valley. What would this AI understand? Would a person read it if it was unparseable by the current system? What if I wanted a little nuance in the conversation, something like, "What's best for me is 1pm on Monday, but if that's a hassle for the other party, I can make Thursday afternoon work"?

Human assistants can handle that just fine (and in fact, is a hugely valuable skill in good admin assistants), but I felt uncomfortable interacting with a system where I didn't know what was possible.

What are you expecting to see in the search results?

It'll pop up links to apps if you search for their names, and it can just open them directly if you say something like "open app hacker news." There are also a few that integrate with other magic spells for voice search - mostly it's Google apps, but the Spotify app is registered as a provider of music, so I can say "play Radiohead" and the system will open Spotify and start playing.
If I ever start another company, I am definitely going to do this. The burden of supporting only paying customers is so much lower, and you can really focus on what's important to them.
Here's a JFK/OSL roundtip for $397: https://www.google.com/flights/#search;f=JFK;t=OSL;d=2014-11... (If the link doesn't work, it's an outbound Friday November 28, return Tuesday December 2, on Norwegian 7002 and Norwegian 7001.) This may be a Thanksgiving-related dip that makes it extra-low, but it's not much higher on some other dates nearby.

When you go to buy the ticket, the price may not match, so be aware of that. I think it's usually right, though. I bought a similar flight at a similar price, so I can sort of vouch that it's not some garbage quote. Google Flights is pretty good for this, at least if you're willing to tinker with the dates and cities until you find the magic spot. They have a little bar chart of the prices, so you can look at surrounding dates and find better deals. I don't know if I'm just doing it wrong, but the other flight search sites I've tried sometimes can't find the deals on Google, even when I search specifically.

Also, consider booking on www.norwegian.no for probably ~$30 savings, but it's only in Norwegian, so if you can't read it confidently, maybe that's a little too crazy.
Anybody here has done first hand experiments on themselves care to comment?
Pure conjecture, but at some point, Android is basically just going to be the Kernel and a distribution medium. Everything else will come from the Play store, the GUI, device drivers, the fonts, the apps, the clock, core APIs, the runtime, everything and the OS will simply move to rolling partial updates. Version x simply won't be meaningful anymore and the kernel can stay static for years and years.

This is a great future that honestly wouldn't have happened if it weren't for the fragmentation and slow update issue that carriers and device manufacturers created. It's like trying to grab toothpaste once it's out of the tube. The harder you squeeze, it simply finds another crack in your hand to go out of.

Material is also fantastic, almost joyful to use. It almost nails the flat-with-a-dash-of-skeu that Microsoft and Apple have both missed. There's still a few too flat bits here and there, but it's a great place to be.
Py2 to py3 is too far a jump which is made obvious from the fork-like nature of the project. Minor changes like API deprecation is of course already taking place in most projects. Just need to strike a balance.

I rewrote 100klines at least from C#1 to C#2 when generics came in 2.0. It was compatible in that the non generic code still worked, but I don't really see what difference that made. If we didn't want to upgrade the cod me then we wouldn't have updated the compiler!

Obviously if you don't want the benefits of Py3 then you don't have to pay the upgrade cost either.
You definitely get app results in the listings for apps that are installed, a la Spotlight. This is an example of what I get when I use the Google search bar on my phone with a query of 'ch': http://i.imgur.com/UdqXvNm.jpg
It's a nightmare sometimes to cancel credit cards, especially if you're travelling.

There are some banks that simply won't cancel the card until you visit your local branch. A tricky maneuver when it's 2000 miles away (I don't know if they've changed this now). Likewise, there are things that are hard to find if you use your cards a lot and don't keep detailed receipts on everything you buy. This happened to me when I discovered someone's been deducting a small sum from my card for several months without me noticing as I was overseas. Of course they could only take care of the last charge before cancelling my card.
So that does that means for linux developers like me, who want to start dabble in .NET ecosystem. Where MONO stand in this?
Awesome, this looks like it might be more fun than codecombat, which didn't hold my interest for long. I hope coffeescript gets added in eventually.
In my opinion, the level of stretching and radially-wiping animations in material design is completely at odds with Google's claim that the central metaphor is paper/cards. While I like most of their redesigned applications rather a lot, even if I try to force myself to see them as sheets of paper, I cannot, as the widgets actually behave almost nothing like paper.
So he machines a "barrel" into the round (presumably with a lathe or mill) and it takes an hour for each round. So why not just machine a little metal barrel for your plastic gun? Or just take your same machine tool and make a metal gun? That would be because people have been doing that for 200 years. You have to say the magic words "3d printed gun!!!!" to get a magazine article about yourself.
> I mean, how many of us are giving money directly to the gov by our own volition? I don't know of anyone.

I do. I also make it a point not to seek out ways to decrease the taxes I'm obligated to pay.

I'd probably donate directly to some governmental agencies if I knew of such a mechanism.

There. Now you know someone who does.
People are bad at estimating calories, but our bodies are really good at regulating them, if you feed it properly. The low fat diet advice has done horrendous things to people's metabolisms, leaving people insulin and leptin resistant. The insulin resistance disregulates the flow of fat through adipose membranes, favoring storage; the leptin resistance disregulates the appetite homeostasis that should regulate appetite, hunger, and weight. It can all be tracked back to the disproven diet heart hypothesis, and the fear of fat that ensued (and became enshrined like a religion).

I think you asked the right question but gave the wrong examples for the HN crowd. Consumer tech doesn't always seem that impressive unless you start thinking about scale.

Instead, I think you should be pointing out GitHub, AWS, CloudFlare, Elasticsearch, Stripe, Mailgun, etc.

No one is going to convince me they want to go back to the days of racking expensive (commodity) servers in a colo and hosting Exim alongside a payments gateway.
Why would a single experiment on one individual have any interest?
Gosh, thanks, guys! More paranoid backlash and stupid regulations are just what the 3D printing industry needed!
