>should know better than to generalize from one sample

It isn't simply looking at one data point; there are economic fundamentals that demonstrate that this will occur. Just grab any Econ 101 textbook. Granted, it isn't a straight-up loss, as there is some income re-distribution that occurs, putting more money in the pockets of low-wage earners.

It's never been clear to me why this is so controversial. If I have organized my business around the fact that I am getting $10.50 worth of production from workers that I pay $10.00, then suddenly I have to pay those same workers $14.00, the math no longer works. Someone will be out of work, or I'll be out of business, period.
Denial of service attacks can be very expensive in terms of monetary damage. That is the weakest form of behavior that Anonymous engages in. This is hardly "pennies of damage".

Consider how angry you are reacting to me; then consider how angry you would be if someone zeroed out your bank account by hacking. Do you still think people who engage in malicious hacking should be allowed to do what they do without being added to some lists of people who should be dealt with?

That was exactly the point.
This is just aggressive loop unrolling. Duff's device is specifically the syntactic curiosity in C/C++ that allows implementing unrolls with a switch and inner while statement.
The idea is that the fine is high because they can't catch every parking violation.

Likewise, the fine for fare-beating on mass transit is much higher than a transit fare, because it's very unlikely you've been caught on your first offense.

Parking is hard in the big city because it requires a lot of a very expensive resource (urban land)— maybe you shouldn't drive if you're unable to handle the responsibility.

(I personally am not very sympathetic to the many entitled drivers who feel free to park on the sidewalk, or in a bicycle lane, or a crosswalk, or by committing some other antisocial act, and am especially unsympathetic to those drivers who feel their ease of parking outweighs the need to build the necessary infrastructure for high-quality mass transit and safe walking and biking.)
Now that is one hell of a in joke...
That is all pretty much completely incorrect - I think you must be misreading a 1.6b expense line as a loss? FY 2014 for BKS was pretty much even.

You'll also see the 2.6b you're calling liabilities is maybe accumulated depreciation? Actual FY2014 debt is 127.5M. Barnes & Noble is relatively debt-free for a large retailer.

I'm not sure "to include hackers" is the same as "to include non-violence", though that may well be what he meant.

You can commit a non-violent act of civil disobedience without going near a computer, and you could commit a violent-act through hacking, such as breaking into air traffic control to crash two planes together.

edit: And just realised the connection between HN comments and that quote from the article. Mea culpa on that one.
You'd be surprised how quickly you get used to the idea of connecting components together with pipes, even for Web applications. The additional benefit being that once you've written a component once you don't need to rewrite it ever again, or even copy and paste the code.

Why would you be a coward if you had a terminal illness? Because you want to transcend reality beyond your pain? If so, that's the same logic people use to discredit any psychedelic experimentation; saying that people who use substances (often only non state-sanctioned drugs) to alter their experiences.

>I'd want every minute of pain, suffering, and emotional baggage to be taken on with a sober mind.

Seeing the broad trend with end-of-life care is to numb this pain, it seems like you're coming from a place of muchisimo-ness. I've been in medical-grade pain before and there is nothing more in the world you care about than ending the pain.

My impression of Java UI components was that they looked boring and old-fashioned. It's a subjective judgement, but I guess others would have thought that way too. If Java Swing or other parts of the Java UI toolkit looked better than many native GUIs then there would have been more interest.
It seems everybody here loves "To Kill a Mockingbird". To me, it's a well written but ultimately shallow novel. Finch is your typical woman's fantasy man: great at fatherhood, great at his work, morally upright, totally scrupulous, and yes, best shot in the county. The black people in the novel rarely get a voice, except one of platitudes, and the race relations stuff is totally black and white (excuse the pun), with no particular insight. It counts as literature only because of its propitious timing around the Civil Rights movement. It's a fine school reading list book but that is all it is.
I'd like to echo comments made elsewhere that this is a game-AI result so exciting that it deserves to be published.

Various people have used (a version of) Super Mario Bros. as a demonstration of planning AI recently. As a result, we see that people can write planning algorithms, based on imperfect information about the game state, that can complete a straightforward Mario level with some competence, but not up to the level of competence of, say, a typical '80s child.

Ascending in Nethack is an insanely difficult accomplishment that few people ever achieve. The game is much more complex than a Mario level, though perhaps the non-real-time aspect of it allows for more sophisticated planning.
Reminder that Cringeley's original claim from Jan 22nd was:

To fix its business problems and speed up its “transformation,” next week about 26 percent of IBM’s employees will be getting phone calls from their managers. A few hours later a package will appear on their doorsteps with all the paperwork. Project Chrome will hit many of the worldwide services operations. The USA will be hit hard, but so will other locations. IBM’s contractors can expect regular furloughs in 2015. One in four IBMers reading this column will probably start looking for a new job next week. Those employees will all be gone by the end of February.

Now he's trying to spin that he never said "layoffs". Not sure why the IEEE is still trusting him.
> Those people would probably have to buy Windows and VisualStudio licenses to code in C# in a VM or just ditch Macs for PCs.

No, they can code in Linux using Vim if they want.
You should be very cautious about ever making long posts in any way tying yourself to people on terrorist watchlists... People generally tend to reuse specific phrases. It is entirely possible to figure out who you are just from having a good chunk of text you have written get correlated to other things you have written.

Example distinct portions of your text you may be reusing "yet alone now", "(I think", "I hugely", "The first". Independently they seem meaningless but taken together they are a loose fingerprint.
Honestly this will depend on your users.

Users will end up paying for the software. Designers will be well designers.

You could also do some sort of "skins" feature on your app and please everyone.

Then again, human DMs can also be outwitted by careful specification of actions. Like how someone managed to win the original Tomb of Horrors.
It's my opinion, based on facts I witnessed...

And I've known hundreds of people who have taken one of the most powerful psychedelics on the planet between 3-5 and hundreds of times each. Of them, there's been exactly one case of an adverse reaction that I've seen, on the part of a woman who had a pre-existing, but occult mental health issue.

My anecdata can beat up your anecdata.

Of course, none of that means it doesn't happen, but it happens radically less often than you seem to want people to believe.
I don't think so, the windows manager is also in userland. It's not the most documented thing, and it depends on what are "the things" of windows, there are many. :)

Yes. There was a time when people actually tested the backups.
yes, I believe most of the missing things are things that cannot be shimmed, such as typed arrays.
I don't see why everything needs to be open source. People who simply don't like Microsoft will not use it just because it's open. Quite the opposite I think - they'd probably immediately fork it and provide an alternate download in order to hurt Microsoft.

Are foreign governments a big market that Microsoft has lost a lot of customers from? I don't think so. The vast majority of the potential market for Windows is already running Windows, so I don't see what they'd really have to gain. The small but loud minority of open-source zealots won't be happy until every single Microsoft product is open.
So maybe not uncritically accepting IBM's press releases would be a good idea?

That was Sun's strategy for Java; it didn't work out well for them. Java became huge, but Sun never did figure out how to make a dollar from it.
Why do all threads about Go seem to be full of people who cannot live without generics?

Snark aside, feature X is rarely absolutely needed (you can replace your generics by some boilerplate; you can use grep instead of your text editor to process huge files), but in some cases it can make your work significantly easier and that's why people want it.

In my own case, opening video files in Sublime and having the hex and ASCII side-by-side made my job significantly easier when I was writing a parser. I could easily select portions of the data (e.g. an embedded metadata), annotate it with comments from the spec, then paste it in a unit test.

I have Atom installed, but see no reason to migrating since Sublime works well enough. My only concern is that the Sublime package ecosystem will likely start rotting now that Sublime itself is essentially abandonware, so at some point I might need e.g. autocompletion for Typescript and the best package will be on Atom, not Sublime.
Been super happy with my Galago UltraPro as well. Only reason I haven't tried FreeBSD on it yet is because of the Haswellian chipset within
The 2MB/slowness isn't something that can just be "coded away". It's a direct result of the technology stack chosen. It is not a solvable problem. Therefore Atom cannot succeed beyond niche usage.
Boy am I glad to see this is the top comment.

There's nothing misleading about the 5.6% figure. That's the number, and the details on how it's calculated are freely available. If you don't like it, choose another value, make your own adjustments, whatever. Besides, the absolute values matter very little; the trend is what counts.

I found this funny:
"None of them will tell you this:"

Really? I don't think there's a discussion about unemployment on the internet that doesn't mention the fact that certain people are excluded from the calculation of headline unemployment.
It needs to be amazing at something though.

And well... it isn't. The biggest thing I can tell is that it's "hip". Meanwhile Sublime Text spins around it at 40MPH doing donuts.

I tried. I really tried to use Atom. But the text editor is just so slow and unresponsive, and that is a flat out dealbreaker for a text editor. Its extensibility isn't any better than Sublime's, and I feel like Python's a way better language than Javascript, so I'm happier tooling against Sublime.

I too wish Sublime Text was open source, coming from an open source development background, but I understand exactly how hard it is to develop open source software and feed and clothe yourself - people only buy "support contracts" for the first year and rarely renew, and only for software they feel is technically complex enough that they might actually need help or customizations.

For the record, I also backed GNOME Builder (which I also already find superior to Atom) in the hopes of some day it becoming the text editor and development environment I lust after. But my greatest fear is that more time will be spent on the shiny features and not enough time on the things I really care about like a decent GUI debugger so I don't have to live with poking at GDB, ahead-of-build compiler warnings/errors, and code refactoring tools.

"OS X is very good at not having hardware compatibility issues" is a really, really old (and flawed) argument.

The thing that makes OS X so darn "stable" is that they write drivers for a very limited set of hardware - the reference implementation.

On the Linux reference implementation, everything works properly (See the ThinkPad T series).

On the Windows reference implementation, everything works properly (See the Surface).

Simply because something works when it's built for a piece of hardware (think embedded systems) doesn't mean that it will work when running on something that it wasn't designed for.
It doesn't say San Francisco in the title.
Do you have any discounts or even free hosting for nonprofits? I run one which could really benefit from something like this but it's way out of our budget.
Some people have scarce resources and are not "designed" to fight a bureaucratic machine that was designed to not process their potentially-valid complaints.

I've certainly gotten erroneous tickets in the past.

Secondarily, I'd support ending the practice of generating revenue by statistically extracting a large amount from a few people - people whose demographic doesn't overlap much with those who can pay for permanent garages or parking lots....This makes me happy.
We take a huge amount of pride in our Customer Service.

We have a target response time of 4-5 hours, and try to make sure every user questions gets responded to in under 1 business day.

We think it's reflected in our reviews on the App Store (http://goo.gl/dn4zYC).

Someone not getting a response shouldn't be possible.. our workflows aren't setup that way. That's not to say that it hasn't happened, but when it does it's usually for a technical reason outside of our immediate control (e.g. user's spam filters).

Happy to de-bug the issue publicly on hackernews, but so far I can't find any record of a user with an email/name similar to that username, and the user hasn't contacted me.

If it is a player or a weak player?

Or this probably simple function(?):

It makes zero intuitive sense to me.
I'm sure that there is a perfectly good explanation for that.
Before the IBM apologists start commenting:
I was an IBM employee a few years ago and I would never recommend it as a good place to work. You were constantly worried about your job and there were cuts to basic resources all the time. It's not at all surprising to see this happen. IBM only cares about its shareholders and not its employees or customers.
"IBM said there would be thousands of layoffs. We believe there have been 5,000 layoffs. Clearly IBM was lying."

Um.
There's a direct correlation between the two events, I'd wager. She's being rewarded for taking decisive action and also being given an incentive to stay and see it through, where "it" is fixing IBM.

EDIT: yes, I used the wrong pronoun originally. The reaction... wow. No disrespect was intended, and I'd think that leeway would be given here on HN. Oh, well.
Jesus... That is pretty awful. I understand cutting down your workforce since your business is struggling like hell but don't give your crappy CEO a massive bonus and pay raise.
It's easy to forget that IBM still made $5.5B profit in the most recent quarter.
Is there some type of estimate of how many character you need to fill up one of these posters? I wouldn't mind getting one of a particularly tricky module I wrote as a POC for my presentation at the SAM conference last year but it's probably only 300 LOC total.

Eh I doubt that the issue is brick and mortar representation.

The worlds best selling smartphone family, Android, has next to no dedicated stores outside of a handful of Samsung and Sony experiences.

It seems to me that the trick to getting more sales at network stores like AT&T is simply paying off AT&T to get it's representatives to push your product. Many buyers go in and ask for recommendations or allow network staff to drive them towards a product. In my experience, the rep will usually push people towards a Samsung flagship. When I visited my local official AT&T last summer, they were pushing A LOT of Samsung gear and didn't have much of anything to say about the latest LG G3 or HTC M8 refresh. They pushed the Samsung Gear watch but didn't have much to say about any other brand.

Amazon would probably boost the sales of their devices much more strongly with some kind of sweetheart promotional deal with a network than they would trying to operate non-network smartphone stores. Who's going to go to an Amazon store to buy an Amazon phone? You go to your network store to look around at what's available.

I could see the smartphones-in-store approach working if they get customers flying through the doors for other reasons (same day pick up, Amazon lockers, Prime-ready electronics show room, etc), and kept them in store long enough to look at phones.
While we're changing the subject, why not Windows and VirtualBox? By the time we've proposed OS X instead of *BSD, we've proposed everything.
As others listed, in project management space, there are already various tools like Jira,Asana ...etc.

Personally, this space appear more crowded. So far, I have read only positive feedback on existing tools like Jira/trello ...etc and I have not read many bad experiences (may be I have limited exposure). Is there really a window/space for new entrant?

To the current users of other tools: Are these tools (Jira/trello ...etc) fundamentally different to each other or just incremental differences while fundamentally similar?
In your story, there are a lot of red flags that would indicate depression. It is very sad that your friend died, but I do not see how it is relevant to this article at all.
