I think Emacspeak is close to what your talking about.

The reason I don't use it is because I could never get it to work quite right so just continued using Windows. It's a lot easier to use Windows, Eclipse, Outlook, Office, etc even if it is somewhat less productive then Emacspeak would be. The amount of time I'd have to spend working around how to integrate with my co-workers Windows based setups if I used Linux with no GUI makes it a non-starter.
In this setting, you should refer to it as 'sexism'. It means almost the same thing as 'patriarchy', but isn't unnecessarily divisive. You can use 'culture of sexism' if you want to cut closer to 'patriarchy'.
But that's the thing - I don't believe that it did increase access in any substantive fashion - you can go virtually anywhere on the planet, and find someone selling the usual suspects. From those who I know who used SR (fully aware this is apocryphal!), usage actually generally decreased, as rather than buying large quantities infrequently from a local dealer (less risk), folks would buy smaller quantities more often, and thus moderate their consumption.

The only things which certainly proliferated more readily as a result of SR would be RCs (Research Chemicals), which your shady park dealer does not usually carry.

Either way, I reckon that this argument will be pivotal in their case, and they will, over the course of the trial, present hockey-stick graphs showing that SR has turned the entire planet into heroin users.

So - I don't reckon this will have increased the number of people taking drugs. I would rather think that it may have encouraged people to experiment more than they otherwise would have due to increased access, but only in the case of people who are prior users of recreational substances - and as above, if anything, it reduced consumption in areas where a "street" supply already existed.
I can see why being rude to a people can seem harsh, but both of these child comments (at the moment) seem to be off the mark to me.

> The difference is the Amish are willing to change their stance on a technology if it proves to be beneficial to their lifestyle.
So are most people, they just have a belief that vaccinations somehow cause more harm them they prevent.
Almost like another communities clearly less educated decisions on various topics based on their belief.

>The difference is the Amish are willing to change their stance on a technology if it proves to be beneficial to their lifestyle.

People are not making choices because they know its the wrong choice to make. Anti-vaxers are dead wrong, but they dont make said choice to spite you, they think its beneficial.

I would say that ignorance because of belief or personal choice are basically the same excuse for choosing something that is harming people, and can be easily remedied.
always amazes me what light can do.
I discovered that the characters used in that style are called "Block" or "High" ascii and are only found in DOS! That explains why I've never been able to make that style on linux.
Yeah it would be nice to just enjoy distractions without my beliefs being challenged all the time. Why can't I ignore all the problems of society, and just read blogs all day?
Me too, but unfortunately it seems to be almost impossible to find unbiased information (almost everything I found was blatant drug-war propaganda with absolutely no science backing it up)

Now that this "Attorney" can do legal research, I guess the next steps are to get it to marshal the relevant facts and evidence, analyze documents and information, interview witnesses, negotiate with the other side, and present a case to the jury.

Would you mind terribly posting your current address and social security number by reply to this comment? I'm certain there are many of us who would responsibly use that information to learn more about you, get to know you better, and provide you with a higher quality discourse here on HN as a result of your generous transparency.
I am not a web developer but I have been trying to keep up with the technology.

I tried learning Angular because people at work started using and hyping it beyond measure. So I thought 'ok' this got to be really good stuff.

And it was good, _if_ experienced people held my hand. Otherwise I got lost in a soup of what seemed like unnecessary terminology -- $scopes, controllers, digest cycles, dependency injections, directives, and so on.

It kind of brought back memories of first generations of Enterprise Java frameworks (you know the factoryfactorymanager joke...)

So I have seen Angular work easily for already experienced devs who knew web front-end development very well. For me, what I really like is React. Ever since watching Peter Hunt's video one or two years ago, the idea of the virtual DOM and how events propagate made sense and was small enough to fit in my brain. I was able to go through some tutorial and do a few toy project in my spare time.

Anyway, if you care for another data point, there it is.
Keeping the current system and not doing YouTube Music Key isn't very difficult - but there are more than a few reasons to think it is worth doing (all the people who block YouTube ads and/or use unauthorized downloaders, for example).

Doing YouTube Music Key and writing in special cases for independent artists while simultaneously making sure not to open any loopholes that would let, for example, Sony hold the service hostage later... that strikes me as very difficult, at best.
While this is certainly a step in the right direction, it displeases me that the FOSS community is so hostile to the ribbon-style UI MS uses in its office product. Its such a great concept that using LO is like stepping back into the Office 97 days. Frankly, I'd rather just pay every few years for a home edition of Office than do all the mental gymnastic needed to properly switch to LO.

No Boostrap? The project I recently worked on must not have happened, and it must have all been a dream...

Are there non-monolithic frameworks? I believe that's the main value proposition of using a framework: you don't need to think about how to organize things because it's the framework's job to provide you with square and round holes, all you have to do is provide the square and round pegs. I am not saying that framework is better than N libraries. I am saying that that is the framework's value proposition. Honestly, I tried helping someone with a Backbone project a while ago. The first thing you have to do when using Backbone is apparently learn a dozen or two of really random names (I swear JS project names are generated as `englishNouns[randInt(englishNouns.length)]`).

The knowledge gained from using Angular is as transferrable as the knowledge of jQuery: it's not straight JS, but if you understand what it does under the hood you can switch to a different library rather quickly.

Lastly, Angular has something that many other frameworks don't: a commercial backer. This means that it's not likely to just bitrot on GitHub for years when the original author loses interest.

This rule doesn't stop them from kicking anyone operating a wifi hotspot out of their hotel, or stop them from requiring anyone who enters the hotel to submit to being searched for wifi equipment. The only thing it stops them from doing is jamming the public airwaves. They are allowed to prevent people from operating wifi hotspots in their hotels, but they aren't allowed to use illegal means to do so.

Analogously, movie theaters are allowed to stop people from bringing in outside food, but they aren't allowed to assault someone to take away food that they brought in.
>Sure they weren't vaccinated but they are also less educated and have much, much less access to information on health than us.

This is by conscious choice, not by any necessity. They have access to all of the health information anyone else has, and they consciously choose to ignore it. I'm not making a judgment call on their society, I live in a heavily Amish area and they're mostly great people, but saying we can't blame them because they choose not to follow modern health standards until it's too late is just passing the buck.
> Drug usage is a personal decision and it's none of state's business.

I agree with this up to the point where drug use becomes drug addiction. Of course this doesn't happen to everyone who uses drugs recreationally, but if it does, then it's not so much a decision but a relentless compulsion that thoroughly decimates one's freedom to choose.

Whether it's the state's business or not, I suppose that depends on whether one feels the state has some responsibility towards the mental and physical health of its citizens. I'm very much in favour of harm reduction programmes for drug addicts, rather than the prevailing trend of terribly harsh punishment. Some may feel that this sort of thing is too paternalistic and interfering but it's certainly better than imprisonment.
By your analogy, any code you put on bitbucket would also have to be uploaded to github at the same time.

FWIW, I use Sketch daily and it has been a lifesaver after I abandoned Photoshop. Give it a second try! (This is v3, to be fair -- I believe earlier versions had new-adopter quirks.)
This is why Nintendo rarely has sales. You completely destroy your brand when you say it's really only worth X percent of what you're normally charging. The same could be stated for anything, really. It's all in perceived value. Sounds a little crude, but we apply the same theories in dating that we do to IP. If something is more easily available we're not always willing to go out of our way to get it - or something to that effect. My coffee is still brewing.
I find it interesting that most negative Angular articles are so vague. Why is it so tough to articulate what is wrong with Angular? I agree Angular is not the best, but I don't have such strong negative feelings for it. I've used it successfully in the past and as long as you keep things simple and don't go overboard with all that it offers, you can create a decent website with it.
People Will Spend the Majority of Waking Time in Virtual Reality by 2020
Agreed. Didn't like the ribbon at first, but grew to find it very useful for Office.
No - the economic proof isn't proof whatsoever - he was buying in bulk from a mid/top dealer, and 100% markup is actually pretty moderate when dealing in controlled substances - consider also that your oh-so-friendly shady dude on a corner is cutting everything with everything, which is also markup, whereas SR dealers did not, if they wanted to stay in business.

Folks bought from SR not because of increased availability, but due to decreased risk. Less interaction with dealers, less chance of law enforcement involvement, and you know what you're buying.

Heroin isn't something that people just one day wake up and decide to do. It spreads socially - the vast, vast, VAST majority of users ended up so because someone they know uses.

I live in a small, conservative, "safe" city - and I could pop out and come back with a sack of MDMA, weed/hash and heroin, if I so chose - but I don't.

I promise you, this shit is everywhere. You just don't see it unless you either go looking or it's shown to you.
Try to load it on mobile. What a train wreck.
That's your opinion. I don't like the new MS UI. In fact, paying for Office every few years means relearning a new UI, or at least relearning where everything is on the menus now. I find that incredibly frustrating and annoying.

My issue with LO is that it doesn't work on complex spreadsheets and powerpoints. I had spreadsheets corrupted and I just had to turn away from LO and go back to Office. I was much happier in LO, but alas I cannot stay.

> For one, it is incompatible with the whole open web stack. You cannot use Bootstrap with it.

Bootstrap is not the "open web stack," whatever that is supposed to mean. And it's a little amusing to hear that the past six months I've spent using Bootstrap in Angular didn't actually happen.

> If you are learning Angular - you are hardly learning JavaScript.

Of course. But nobody says, "Hey, learn this Angular thing, and then you'll understand JavaScript." You must know JavaScript first, and learn Angular second.
Just so I can be sure I understand this: you're suggesting that YC whitewashes gender topics off HN, so instead you discuss gender at LessWrong?
I think a lot of anti-vax stuff might be fixed with a compelling documentary. Vaccines need their own "Blackfish" documentary. Simply producing that one vivid, compelling movie is now completely changing how whales and dolphins are kept at aquariums. The power of a well produced documentary is really unbelievable.

It makes sense. People are visual creatures, and natural story tellers (and listeners) so sometimes showing the horrors of these issues and weaving it into a story is the best way to convince large amounts of people and bring attention to an issue.
This audio is the most unintelligible block of sound I've ever heard, but it made my day much happier to know you can understand it and use it nicely.

I will try to use the HTML5 accessibility tags and attributes whenever I can from now on (I currently don't even know what is there about accessibility to be implemented).
Except this isn't "bundled with a monolithic browser blob"; it's enabled by supporting WebRTC, and it's compatible with other WebRTC implementations.

That we're even discussing this goes to show the tragic decline of critical thinking and basic reading comprehension on this board.
It's actually from the HN comment thread. I don't know if it's true or not.

Exhaustive and seamless import and export of Microsoft formats - that's the most important and desired LibreOffice feature for me and probably for for most LO users!
That's nice, but when reading non-trivial code, having "generic English names" makes the programmer's intention easier to decipher than a random sprinkling of 5 different one-letter variables - though it's fine to have ecosystem-wide conventions for the most common cases.
Profiling and tracking techniques will continue to develop in accordance with the demands of the market. Consumers will gleefully move toward more data collection. This will not be resolved via legislation, and in fact may underscore the historical fact that our "right to privacy" only mattered when we were insignificant. Give people the power of computers and they are now a threat that requires being targeted and monitored.

If anything, legislation will continue to increase the costs of remaining private. They will continue to slice away at the onion of freedom, and so long as most people have neat apps and devices, this will be sufficient, at least for a while, and by then it will be too late.

Privacy absolutely matters, but we cannot count on the beneficence of legislators and corporations to bestow it on us.

Your version, while not very different, is not easier to read than that of the parent post.

A few weeks into learning Haskell, reading x:xs will become second nature, so much so that "head" and "tail" become noise. (Also, "head" and "tail" are function names in the Prelude, but I'll assume you meant to write "hd" and "tl" or something like that).

Spark has a python API and python has a bigger ecosystem for exploratory data analysis than spark.

Also python has a big data interface with out of core matrices and tables as well as a compiler than can speed numerical code, with a just a function decorator, to C like speeds. The former is an interface to the latter.

The problem is that choosing to not vaccinating your children has an effect on the people around you. I'm all for raising children how the parent sees fit, but you're talking about a public health issue. Whether or not little Timmy learns about sharing is apples and oranges to spreading disease.
Aerial View of Sugar Beach Nestled Between the Pitons
I think anyone who knows Angular well would agree - it's a joy to work with, but it isn't perfect. Angular 2.0 is a step in the right direction in many ways.

This blog post is pretty horrid though.

I find myself moving more of my code into pure JS & borrowing concepts from languages like Java (interfaces, abstract classes, etc.) to increase agility in the event I want to move towards using a different library/framework. I gave a talk related to this idea of a frontend SOA about a week ago - here are the slides: http://slides.com/wesleycho/soa-angular

So, sexism cuts all the way down to the bone of our daily interpersonal interactions. It creates the whole jock / nerd divide. It creates the difference between the hot cheerleaders and the normal girls.

What does this is gender roles and their consequent beauty norms. People decide that women are best off looking fit and have big boobs and are outgoing and have a certain personality. These norms are communicated to them all throughout their childhood through media and peer pressure. In exactly the same way, ideals create the jock as well.

When you actually look at the people embodying these stereotypes, there's nothing all that much different about them, they're just people who've managed to adopt these norms. They might even be meaner than normal, enforcing these roles themselves.

Gender roles, beauty norms are part of the culture that feminists call patriarchy. Patriarchy is just sexism at the social / cultural scale. They wouldn't exist without these broader cultural dynamics, people would just be people and you could ask out whoever you want and she wouldn't shut you down because she has a place to maintain in the hierarchy, a hierarchy created and maintained by sexism.

Once you realize that women perpetuate patriarchy too and how, that's when you start to really understand just what it is.

If you need an analogy, think about how the general lack of respect for privacy at both the individual and the legislative levels negatively affects all of us, even those who 'have nothing to hide'.
"Corporate infosec" policies on email have been taking a pretty big beating in the past few years anyhow. "BYOD", bring your own device, is a big buzzword in that field right now: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bring_your_own_device

For all the horror stories of corporate IT lording their position over people lower on the ladder, in the end they are a service organization that is reacting, not dictating, and in this case it's often the executives who get the expensive-at-the-time tech first anyhow.
You do not understand the Amish. They do not have some simplistic "all modern technology is bad" ban. They selectively use some modern technologies, and eschew others.
Thanks - hopefully it's also simple and easy to use
When you fight evil, you hide your moves so they don't move first. Evil will try by all means not letting you hide your moves by asking you, telling you, imposing you there is nothing to hide. Now you know where evil exactly is, and you hide even more, you mutate, you dissapear from the eyes of evil. That's the only way you fight them.

Here is an overview of the exceptions to the standard VAT rates: https://github.com/wbond/vat_moss-python/blob/master/vat_mos...

Those two libraries contain the logic to determine if a user is in one of those special areas by feeding in various information they have provided.
Unfortunately, that issue isn't limited to angular: it falls under the general category of "If you haven't gotten burned by the problems a pattern is trying to solve, a pattern looks like unnecessary complexity." I'm reminded of when I had to learn COM back in the day; as a developer who had cut their teeth on programming on Macintosh followed by Debian, it seemed like needless complexity until I grasped the zen of the problem it tried to solve: providing a common protocol for different binaries compiled by different C++ compilers to share data structures and do inter-process communication in an object-oriented fashion without sharing source code. COM seemed way too complex to me because (a) in the Mac world, there was only one compiler that mattered (at least by the time I got into it), so binary incompatibility was essentially a non-issue, and (b) in the Linux world, if you needed two modules to inter-operate, you could meld their source code together.

Similarly, if you haven't tried for 100% test coverage, dependency injection seems needlessly complicated, and if you haven't had to nest dozens of HTML templates written by different developers using different patterns, directives seem way over-engineered.
I don't think it does have a steep learning curve, really. I first tried it when I was a real greenhorn, having played around with backbone and ember and not really enjoyed the experience; with Angular you can be doing something cool in about 10 minutes.

The weird terminology almost helps, especially if you're coming from a server-framework background where your Ms, Vs and Cs are pretty different (due to the difference between request/response and UI design) from the same terms in a client-side framework. I am not going to confuse $scope with an ActiveRecord model. Most of it, in any case, works a bit like this (or did for me when I was very junior) - 'if it has a dollar in front of it, it does Magic Stuff with little or no human intervention.

No, the learning curve is very flat - until, as the OP says, you hit a brick wall.

All that said, IME it is possible to properly organise code in an Angular app, get logic out of views and so on. But it is dependent on you knowing a bit about application design. The easy option is to turn scope into a god object and have a 500 line spaghetti controller.

What's funny is that "the important things" can happen in front of a screen. This sounds a lot like the reverse side of the usual troll's refrain "It's just the internet, don't take it so seriously".

Relationships are created, prolonged, and destroyed every single day online. Business deals, friendships, everything, and that integration is only going to get tighter as time goes on.

The idea that no "important things" are happening in front of a screen, in 2015, doesn't even pass the laugh test.
