You find it normal that two windows that look exactly the same don't behave the same way depending on how they were invoked?

This violates a concept at the core of basic GUI design called "The principle of least surprise".

I regularly want to do file operations when I open file dialogs, like noticing some garbage file I forgot to delete or wanting to rename things. Having to launch a separate Finder just to do that on Mac OS is a constant reminder how it's an operating system stuck in the early 2000s.
The parents might be unreachable. But the children grow up and they, and then their children, might be reachable.

Those later generations are easier to vaccinate if they haven't been subjected to years of mocking.
Then you have the remainder of the plane falling, uncontrolled, and potentially towards populated areas. Without a parachute at least the pilot will (hopefully) be trying to aim for an empty patch, and with a parachute at least the rest of the plane is falling rather slowly.
Ok, but I think you're missing the point here.

It would be OK if you were to refuse vaccinations and only you had to bear the costs of that decision: You get sick, you die, the end.

That is not the case here. There are, potentially, huge external costs to your decision. You may get sick and infect others with poor immune systems. Other people might die.

I think a good comparison here would be parents who expose their children to second hand smoke. Sure, it's your choice to smoke, and if you get sick or die from smoking, fine. But when you force others to bear the consequences of your decisions, and impact their health, well, that isn't fair and it shouldn't be legal to do so.

EDIT:

First, most of these parents are not making this decision for religious reasons any more than they are not eating gluten for religious reasons.

Additionally, hiding behind religious expression/freedom is BS. There are plenty of religious practices that would be illegal if followed. I know it's cool to be PC, but you need to stop somewhere. If a religion promoted cannibalism or human sacrifice, we certainly wouldn't allow that, would we?
Do any of you religiously stay up to date on your boosters to stay fully immune to these diseases?

Do you advocate shutting down the borders, prosecuting people to the fullest extent of the law that are found illegally in this country, and overall taking every effort to prevent illegal immigrants into the country where we can't control their movements amongst the population and have no history of their medical conditions, what diseases they are carrying, and their vaccination status?

A few percentage of unvaccinated children are not the hysterical public health threat that some of you make them out to be. In general you always have that percentage not vaccinated always.

If third world diseases are popping up again in this country, maybe we should be looking at the unregulated flow of immigrants, and not generally shitting all over affluent, intelligent individuals with healthy children.
Rather than penalizing the parents brave enough to shun modern medicine, let's reward them: a free trip to Disneyland for all their families, at the same time, as soon as possible. In fact, let's give them a full (checks Wikipedia) 21 days isolated inside "the happiest place on Earth".
Maybe for their paid videos. They can't be using it for regular videos because I have browser extensions that simply download the videos.
Or to flip it around, an iPhone every 106 milliSeconds.
I question the top answer as being a good habit at all. It's like saying "there's probably some magic going on that I'll never understand". There's a reason why you're wrong. You should probably find out and absorb the reason instead of pretending like the world operates in some mysterious way.
It's an implicit invitation for you to take over the job of process compliance and get into management instead of coding. Presumably someone else (with, as another commenter points out, more power) actually needs that stuff - and let's face it, lots of programmers are really crap at documentation. Make your manager's problem evaporate and you'll be his golden boy or girl. Downside: you won't get around to writing any code if you devote yourself to this. Upside: if you go into management you get to have ideas and leave the implementation to your staffers while you deal with people problems. Also, you'll make more money.
Why wouldn't gaming be a key usage? On iPhone alone it is a multi-billion dollar industry. I think gaming could be one of the big driving forces moving forward once they get serious about Apple TV. Give it a few years for the processing to catch up to today's consoles and you no longer need an Xbox/Playstation.
In a recent poll here on HN, Sublime had about 7 times as many votes as Atom:

This policy is in Australia also. They have done case studies showing the benefits: http://www.immunise.health.gov.au/internet/immunise/publishi...
And they will do it again...one of the first things the new Congress did was repeal Dodd-Frank provisions that required banks to do some of their derivative trading in separate entities that were not FDIC insured.

I've had that kind of problem before, and I can also tell you the old PowerBooks in the G4 era could be pretty bad. You were thrilled to upgrade because it made a big difference. I've owned some of the older laptops where bits would start wearing out.

My current laptop is a 2010 MBP and I've upgraded both the RAM and the HD, neither one is an option now. The upfront costs are higher than they used to be, and I'm not a fan of that.

But that's part of the price of liking Apple hardware. It's the tradeoff they've decided to make and it's not enough to offset the other benefits and drive me away.

I've seen enough Apple hardware at work and from friends to generally think it's good quality and not worry too much about buying my next machine from them.
Well there is another $120 pre-allocated :-).

I hope they make an electronic version, although I would be OK with buying a second copy and getting it scanned if they don't.
Yeah, BTW I am also super curious how they merged the tabs UI with the top window bar. That also seems to be a pending issue in atom. I have a feeling it may just be nwjs.
Thanks. My cursory googling did not turn up any actual rate statistics.

Indeed - the second edition was very helpful for me (An embedded SW/crypto person by day doing basic electronics and ham radio as a hobby) during the early 00's.

I didn't see a chapter list. I wonder whether FPGA technology will be touched on at all? some of the modern small FPGAs are incredibly useful when paired with a microcontroller or the newer uc++ boards like the edison. Then again, so many new toys are available (DDS comes to mind for radio) that I imagine a lot of newer tech is out of scope for a book that focuses on the fundamentals. There's always the AARL books :)
I highly doubt people in Marin are doing it on religious grounds.
I'm curious what the basis is for your statement? Is mockery the best method for changing peoples' behavior here? Probably not, but I'm not convinced that it's counter productive like you assert.
While I understand how most of the things you listed are covered under religious freedoms, I cannot comprehend how not vaccinating a child counts towards that. Not being vaccinated puts your child in direct danger of contracting a disease and further spreading it to others. First amendment rights are valid unless you are putting others in harm's way.

I'm from New Hampshire and we are, by law, required to have vaccines up to date before attending the first day of school (http://www.procon.org/sourcefiles/New-Hampshire-vax-req.pdf). I've never understood why all states don't require this.
That was much shorter than I expected, and almost completely lacks context for the non-statisticians. I'd suggest http://arxiv.org/pdf/1411.5279v1.pdf https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8872009 for the interested HN reader, which also goes into the issue of which bootstrap.
Haven't read the article, but I can say from just the title that the answer is "We did". When you saturate legitimate signals with lots of noise you inevitably conceal the obvious. This is what has been happening in the conspiracy theory circles and it's why no one listened when exactly these issues were detailed.
The scope of this vulnerability is huge! A lot of server applications attempt to resolve or reverse-resolve network clients's hostnames or IP addresses when a connection is established, so they would all be potentially vulnerable: the malicious client controlling his DNS records simply needs to return specially crafted hostname or address data that is too big to fit in the buffer.

This overstates things a bit - hostnames that can be returned by the reverse DNS resolver can't trigger the vulnerability (maximum label length of 63). It needs to be a hostname supplied by a non-DNS method (eg. the POC uses the HELO SMTP command).

This sort of user-hostile behavior is guaranteed to make me take the time to open a shell and nuke your software from orbit with blasts of "rm -rf". Don't do this.
If it was my son and he couldn't be vaccinated for a few months I'd simply hold him out of school until the vaccinations could be administered. I feel for the child and his family, it's a horrible thing that happened to them, but talk about solving a simple problem with an activist response. This is how we end up with a ridiculous number of laws and regulations. If we should legislate that every kid in a public school is vaccinated, why would we stop there? Why not legislate every kid that enters a public library be vaccinated? Why not any public place?
Most tar implementations default to the first streamer (e.g. sa0) instead of stdout.
I understand the urge, believe me. But now I'm trying to be a less sarcastic person, because the way I see it, mockery / ridicule is tantamount to giving up.

Totally cool with it. It's fun, and gives you a smug feeling that is unfortunately also fun. But I don't let myself think I'm doing anything other than throwing in the towel in trying to help this other inhabitant of our rock.

Once I frame it that way to myself, I find myself either continuing to try or completely ignoring the other person.

Assuming this is a part 91 flight, when flying overwater more than 30 minutes flight time or 100 nm from short, they are legally required to have on board:

* A life preserver for each occupant of the plane
* Enough liferafts for all occupants [however they can share the same one as long as they're not exceeding the rated capacity and buoyancy]
* A flare for each liferaft
* One portable, floating, water-resistant emergency radio beacon
* A lifeline
* Survival kits attached to each liferaft
I prefer facts and reason. When those don't work, what's left that doesn't involve force?
Today I've seen a planet with rings extending 93 million miles, laser light captured in motion with a camera taking 20 billion FPS [0], a hard boiled egg un-boiled [1], and MS stopped in its tracks with a very nearly literal immune system "reboot." [2]

Science always amazes me, but recently it's been setting new records in the ass-kicking department, as I just sit here with my jaw on the floor at how awesome it is.

I can see that, especially if someone is administrating their own small site, and hasn't had experience in larger shops. But at the minimum (and since it is cheap enough) you should have at least 3 - 5 servers (esp. if you are making money off them) -- dev, test, staging, production, and failover. Just breaking the mirror to the failover box, and upgrading the primary would allow for an easy and quick backout procedure.

Oh, and there is another upgrade trick (I'll have to see if I still have my old writeup on it, and post it as a Gist). You can query the package manager, and make a few lists. First, list the packages (and versions) that are installed. Secondly, get a list of any file owned by a package that has changed since package installation (compare the file MD5 sum to the package's record of same). This should be a small list of files (mostly configuration related) that can be backed up. This gives you a good way to roll back changes if needed, and keep a system documented.

Finally, with Yum, you can roll back updates. Take a look at "yum history", and "yum history undo". This has saved me a couple times.
New York only always exemptions for sincere religious beliefs, California allows exemptions for any beliefs.

Before the obvious objection, there are plenty of examples of people who try to create a special purpose religion to get around some or other rule, and only a few cases where it has actually worked.

Also as the top level poster alludes to the second circuit recently ruled that the religious exemption is not constitutionally required. Phillips v City of New York (http://caselaw.findlaw.com/us-2nd-circuit/1688862.html).

Is it not better for overall herd immunity for nature to take its own course (i.e., let people with poor immunity die off).

I mean, if herd immunity is the argument here, then why not go the whole hog?
I don't use text messages much (typing on a phone is too low bandwidth); and about 25% of my work-related instant messages will turn into a phone conversation (at least 50% of those calls will add VNC to look at code). Both parties can talk with much lower latency and higher bandwidth than they can type.

Holding a kid out of school can be a pretty serious hardship for a family, and a setback for the kid's education. At the very least, the school should provide the kid with alternative care.
Being poor as a rat when he dies, Cervantes never knows that he'll became the most famous writer in the history of Spain. Their bones should and must have an accurate tomb to rest. The motivation is the same that lead to the americans to build the Lincoln tomb, a mix of culture and history preservation, national pride and personal homage.

Sadly we feel the dichotomy that a lot of spaniards, (brothers, sisters, fathers, uncles and mothers of somebody) murdered in the civil war and buried at night as dogs in roads and fields can NOT be recovered for this relatives (is logically forbidden to exhume a body without a order, an order delaying for more than 70 years). Absolute lack of interest and deliberate obstruction of the part of the autorities.

I can speak for Fanout and say that we have no intention of offering data storage. Our ideal users either have databases already or value a decoupled backend architecture.

BaaS is certainly a tempting business (just look at all the exits), but we'd rather focus on doing one thing really well and with wider applicability. Much like you guys, really.
Seriously. I like to study textbooks on the train, but can't carry much more than a tablet and laptop. I'd pay for the hardback and more, just for an eBook. Preferably in a format that let's me highlight and take notes.

And furthermore, if the concern is that unvaccinated children are putting others at risk and should be excluded from school, then wouldn't it stand to reason that this child (who is also unvaccinated) is also putting others at risk (albeit the motivation for not vaccinating is different)?
There's a big difference between 9% and 1%.

Who would EVER approve this?

Didn't the majority of the country agree this summer that police should wear cameras at all times. And the police protested this development. (Remember police brutality debate?)

I'm against the license plate system, but people on this site often don't seem to appreciate there is democratic support for many of these programs.
The thing that bothers me isn't the need to vaccinate, but the fact that the list of vaccinations continues to get longer. Well, it isn't the length of the list; it's simply that I'm not worried about all of the diseases on the list.

My main disagreement is chicken pox. Yes, I understand that there are serious chicken pox cases, but they're incredibly rare. Whoever made the decision to include the chicken pox vaccine on the list weighed a very rare risk for unvaccinated children against even smaller risks for vaccinated children, and decided to require the vaccine. That's a rational decision, but I would prefer if I were allowed to weigh benefits and risks myself.
Why I still do not have a data plan
Rather, it's that you got used to renaming files in an open file dialog from when you used other OS's and you now expect it to work like that.

Logically, an open file dialog should be read only since the task you're trying to achieve is just to open a file, not rename one. This means no accidents etc. And if you've ever seen my Mum open a file, you'll know accidents happen all the time ;)
Ask HN: Which class would you take?
I'm a senior in college and this is my last semester. I'm struggling to decide which class I should take.

There are two options: Theoretical Foundations of Computer Science (The topics covered include: regular, context-free and context-sensitive languages, finite state automata, Turing machines, decidability, and computational complexity) or Networks and Cryptography (Networking topics will include layered network structure, signaling methods, error detection and correction, flow control, routing, and protocol design and verification. Cryptographic topics will include classical cryptosystems, the data encryption standard, public-key cryptography, key escrow systems, and public policy on encryption.)

The added thing is that if I take Networks I won't have class on Friday, which I wanted to use to do personal projects or schedule interviews.

So my question is, for veterans in this industry, if you were me which class would you take? Which one is ultimately more useful? I find the two classes equally interesting.
Wow... Is that correct?
What is wrong with this website? http://i.imgur.com/mwLQcRg.jpg
It seems odd to use polio as the example of a vaccine success story, while leaving out the recent resurgence of polio that's been caused by Obama using vaccines as part of his secret assassination program.

Also not mentioned, the fact that government vaccination programs in Africa are thought to be one of the key elements behind HIV becoming a global epidemic. Or the fact that vaccine makers are frequently indemnified from safety lawsuits.

I'm not saying that vaccines are a net negative, but the idea that all the problems with vaccines are somehow magically explained away by 'science' seems disingenuous. This program does mention that vaccines aren't perfect, merely better than the alternative, and yet doesn't even get into any of the real problems.

edit: Even strictly in terms of the science, this doesn't address any of the major open questions. E.g. all of the research I've seen suggests that while getting a flu vaccine makes you less likely to die in the current year, it actually reduces your longterm immunity. (Since flu vaccines only give immunity for a few months, whereas getting the actual flu can confer some resistance for decades.) So what does the risk/benefit look like over the course of a lifetime? Obviously if you're 90 then longterm resistance is irrelevant, but what if you're, say, 20 and in good health?
Kits - including the raft - are available to rent for trips over the ocean. Flying a little plane around Hawaii or the Caribbean, it's a good idea.
illegal immigration is... well... illegal

and legal immigration has vaccination requirements
Can confirm, I grew up near the area described in the article. USC has some 2010 data [1] on religious beliefs in Marin. None of the popular belief systems are known for discouraging immunization. Anecdotally, Marin has quite a large alternative medicine following which may explain the high opt-out rate.

I've seen enough novice users inadvertently move or rename files in the Windows save and open file dialogs that I'd call that a feature.
One thing confuses me.

Why are parents of vaccinated kids so terrified of unvaccinated kids??

Does vaccination work or not?

If my kids are vaccinated, doesn't that mean they won't catch the disease if they encounter it? Or, at the worst, get a mild dose.

If vaccination works, why do we care that a small minority aren't vaccinated?
This isn't a new concept, but it's definitely a good idea. I started public school in Texas around 1992, and they required me to have all the standard vaccinations as a condition of enrollment. Looks like they're still doing this: http://www.dshs.state.tx.us/immunize/school/
8 Absolutely No BS Things Every Entrepreneur Should Know
In Chandler, which was the first city in AZ to get broadband in the 90s, we are very jealous of Tempe, Scottsdale and Phoenix getting both Google Fiber love and Cox love due to that competition.

Cox probably cares about Chandler even less now it has competition to deal with, we'll be last to get 1Gbps Gigablast that suddenly was announced when Google Fiber picked Phoenix.
Actually I think I linked to the wrong thing. The same judge also ruled in favor of barring unvaccinated children from school when an outbreak of a preventable illness hits, which seems like a pretty effective way of protecting children while simultaneously respecting the religious choice of the parents.

I think you're being downvoted for two things:

1. Conflating things like circumcision and home schooling with vaccination. While there may be an argument for circumcision and against home schooling, it is a far cry from the arguments that support vaccination and the direct effect that vaccination has on the global - not just local - community.

2. The suggestion that religious freedoms extend beyond a single person. It's really not that complex of an issue: do what you want as long as it doesn't have a direct negative impact on those around you. If that involves cheering for Jesus, praying five times a day, not eating meat on Friday or not working on the Sabbath, go for it. But the moment religious elements start to negatively impact others, including elements like restrictions of free speech, slavery and FGM, we see it as immoral and extending beyond religious freedom. In this case, by not vaccinating your child, you are potentially (and very likely to be) putting your child and others through harm, making it less of a religious issue and much more of an issue of blatant negligence.
Every Macbook I buy I use some sandpaper (medium coarse and then fine) to round the sharp corners between the sides and the surface containing the keyboard & trackpad. I especially round the sharp points on the corners of finger-cutout to open the lid.

I also slightly round the edges where the sides meet the top and bottom surface of the case.

The result is that those sharp unpleasant feeling corners are now silky smooth, around a 1 mm radii. I'm surprised Apple didn't design it this way in the first place.

Note: It's important to be cautious not get any aluminum dust in any of the ports or electronics.
