To be clear - the ISE (powershell_ise.exe) doesn't support interactive console apps. powershell.exe supports them just fine.
This article kind of misses the forest for the trees. The reason why spreadsheets took over for databases is because the spread sheet was easy and put less restrictions in the way.

So creating a spreadsheet that is not as easy in order to support real database like functionality is going to end up the same way...
I buy my computers to use them, not to resell them. At this point my Macbook Pro is worth maybe $300, and I'd be more likely to gift it to a relative than sell it in the first place.

I also found it to be a huge pain to install Linux on it, which is why all my Linux computers are Thinkpads (with the exception of the old HP workstation I'm typing this from).

I would be surprised. Both Ma Bell and the clandestine service are always looking for ways to move more money in more directions. A typical scenario: from NSA to some secret shell company, from there to ATT for the project, from there to a favored systems integrator to run the project, from there to the agent-in-charge's nephew for unspecified services, from there back to the shell company, etc.
any issues?

Right. The Guardian has a rule that you're not allowed to insult the journalists. Unfortunately, suggesting that they're wrong, biased or maybe didn't do their homework is routinely considered to be insulting the journalists :(
Indeed! Though mouse anatomy doesn't entirely transfer over to human anatomy. I interpreted your comment to refer to experimentation in humans, I apologise if I misunderstood.

You seem to be surprised that our current knowledge of basic human anatomy is not yet exhaustive. Two recent notable discoveries are:

* Anterolateral ligament (Ligament of the knee, discovered 2013 after macroscopic examination of cadavers)

* Dua's layer (Newly discovered layer of the cornea, discovered in 2013 using electron microscopy)

You may also be surprised about the amount of variation in anatomy found between people. Some structures (commonly muscles) do not exist in some people, or may exist on only one side of the body. Similarly vessels and nerves can sometimes also take alternative or strange courses. This has clinical implications, especially wrt surgery.

> "and you tell me that counts as "extreme poverty" with the other band being "nowhere near poverty", I will laugh in your face."

That's precisely the point of the article, the definition is broken and the author is asking it to be fixed.

> "In comparison to the current state of the US, a distribution where the bottom 10% had 1% of the wealth and the top 10% had 30% of the wealth looks nearly utopic."

I don't think it even have to do with wealth distribution. For instance, Poor people living in the states have greater quality of life than lower middle class in Venezuela.

In my opinion wealth distribution is the wrong problem to solve. Wealth inequity is not an issue as long as the lowest class have a good quality of life (Good security, access to health care and education).
I think homebrew and MacPorts are niche though. Your "normal" OSX user wouldn't install them. Heck, I ran Linux for years and years and I haven't even installed them under OSX because if I wanted to run BSD or Linux, I'd have installed BSD or Linux.

It's like installing all those GNU tools on Windows to make it more like Linux, and putting Homebrew etc. on OSX to make it more like Linux. Why not just use Linux or BSD? I never understand it.

Also, the lack of proper Quartz windowing support from X11 apps makes using them painful.

Show HN: Replicate the world's best stock investments
Loved this comment as you did a great job of distilling the level of wonder that still remains to be discovered.

While I'm not in any way qualified to assess this, it seems the fact that there's essentially a new piece of human anatomy that we've discovered is game changing. Potentially on the level of things that cause entire fields of medicine to re-evaluate what they thought they knew.

I wonder what this means for other things we've taken for granted about neurochemistry. Any qualified individuals care to speculate on the possibilities?
Zen Mind, Beginner's Mind and Mindfulness in Plain English are excellent texts.

However I recommend that the single best thing you can do early on, either to figure out if this is anything your interested in or to actually get to the matter of the thing, which is to say to appreciate the practice of it, is to visit a zen center and take some sort of intro to zazen. It wasn't until I tried zazen that I felt I really 'got' what all the thinking is about.

I also found this article on Nietzsche and what impact the lineage of Buddhist thinking had on his thought (and by extension, Freud, who is widely speculated to have taken a lot of his ideas about the unconscious from Nietzsche) to be instrumental in deepening my understanding of Buddhism: http://www.westernbuddhistreview.com/vol1/god_is_dead.html
I would trust a bank who published their lock diagrams (or at least provided them to me on request) more than one that shrouded their security in secrecy. If I can look at the bank's diagrams I can verify that the lock has no obvious weaknesses, I can show the diagrams to my friends and through analysis we can determine if the lock seems secure enough for my needs. If the workings of the bank's vault are opaque to me the bank could easily be locking my safety deposit box with a twist-tie as a cost cutting measure.

The USA Freedom Act? Based on the Patriot Act should I assume it is the exact opposite of freedom?

From Wikipedia:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USA_Freedom_Act

"According to supporters of the USA Freedom Act, the USA Freedom Act was meant to end the bulk collection of Americans' metadata by the NSA, end the secret laws created by the FISA court, and introduce a "Special Advocate" to represent public and privacy matters."

"The USA Freedom Act is perceived as containing several concessions to pro-surveillance legislators meant to facilitate its passage, such as extending the Patriot Act powers until 2019."

I'm so confused. Is this bill a good thing or a bad thing?
I risk getting downvoted for this, but have you tried any dietary changes? There are cases of people with MS who have seen tremendous improvement on a low histamine or paleo style diet. There are no guarantees, of course, but what do you have to lose? I would think it would be worth the inconvenience of trying it out for a few months even if the odds of success are very small.

blaming Github for doing crypto right

So github is doing crypto right by unnecessarily exposing data that is _only_ relevant to a) the user and b) his personal access to his repos?

By this logic, why not make crypto even better and add something like github.com/user.address, github.com/user.mail or github.com/user.phone?
Three lines of code? Is this something you could do in three lines? I mean, only deploying this live requires way more than that. One thing people seem to forget is that building your own tools means that you also have to deploy, maintain, and fix them. If programmer time is > $100, how much will it cost you to deploy something like this? I'd rather pay the money and move onto building products that make me money.
[warning: ignorant musing of someone who doesn't know Scala below]

This makes me wonder if 'values' can be though of as just subtypes of their types. '5' extends 'Number', say. Is this how it's interpreted in the fully-functional paradigm?

If you have

def fn(x: Int) : Int

then 'Int' is the type of all Ints, and you have to provide a specific int - which is a subtype of Int, but you could imagine there being a subtype between 'Int' and '5', like:

5 <: intermediateType <: Int

So in order to 'invoke' a function you have to provide a subtype that reduces it to one value, at the level of 5, not just any subtype of int. Meaning that something about '5' makes it a special kind of subtype that can actually be used to execute the function. Maybe that's what we mean by 'value'. I don't know.

I do find the idea that fn(5) is a subtype of fn(x: Int) to be cute.

And that

def foo(x: Int): Int = fn(x)

has the 'subtype'

foo(5): fn(5)

seems suggestive.

It's about noise. The physical lock on your door doesn't prevent anyone from breaking in. But you can clearly tell someone broke in and it creates noise.

It's not always practical to take your notebook to the toilet with you, so you want to make it as hard as possible for someone to compromise it in a limited time frame.
Security is never absolute, it just about buying time to notice an attack. This applies to the physical lock on your door just as much as it does on your notebook
Heck, just look at the huge number of Android phones that you can buy at retail with an out-of-date version of Android with known security holes which will never be patched or updated. And those are relatively complex devices which are trivial for users to update if given the option, based on the adoption rates for e.g. iOS updates.

A company doesn't have to be out of business to not do security updates; they can not do security updates starting day one. There was an article a while ago about tons of home router vendors with insecure software from a third party, where the third party had resolved security issues years ago but the vendors had never bothered to update, leaving hundreds of thousands of devices vulnerable over the last few years.
Sounds almost like having free software SSD firmware would be a nice thing. I just love how I have microcontrollers on all my persistent storage devices now that operate as a black box made by incompetent or possibly malicious developers.

I'm getting ready to take the MCAT and that's pretty widely known already on premed forums. It helps that it's a partnership between AAMC and KA and was one of the first resources out there for the new edition of the MCAT. I see a lot of folks still taking courses and using other resources too, but yes - definitely somewhat of a moneysaver :)
They don't even need to go bankrupt. I have an LG television that has been promising new widgets ever since I first got it, and no new widget has ever appeared.

The impetus there was that LG changed its net-connected TV platform in 2011, and instantly dropped all support for older devices. One would think that a final update could remove that "coming soon" box from their proprietary added-feature screen, but they haven't even bothered to do that.

So I can watch NetFlix and YouTube on that device, but not Amazon instant video, or Crackle, or Crunchyroll, or Vimeo, or any of the dozens of selections available to better supported platforms. Having learned my lesson, and aware of the increasingly stalkerish behavior of "smart" televisions, my next TV purchase was very specifically a dumb screen. If I want an internet-connected service now, I use the Wii, or XBox, or the extended desktop from the nearest computer.

I will likely refuse to buy any network-enhanced appliance in the future, unless I am able to root/jailbreak it and install software without the manufacturer's stamp of approval. I probably wouldn't do much beyond installing ChillBox, or FridgeBSD, or CryogenMod, or whatever, but it feels like the possibility might keep them a little more honest. Because you know that refrigerator hackers would be capturing and picking apart every packet that thing sends out, quickly discovering that every time someone closes the door, it sends a tattle out to fridge-use.org about how long you stood there with the fridge door open, along with before-and-after photos of your food.

Though it would also be embarrassing if they marketed value models of a product line by disabling features in software/firmware, and some NetBSD-loving punks could come along and write a simple script that turns the doohickey that retails at $200 into the one that sells for $800.

So it's already too late for me. "Smart" appliances are just another low-capability computer that I will have to support as the in-home IT guy. And I will have to presume that they come pre-loaded with all manner of crapware and spyware. I would forever need to be checking on chipsets and revision numbers and compatibility lists. No thanks. It's hard enough managing the congestion on the home WiFi already.
This is very true. The Windows software market is colossal, and the ability to run software from decades ago is a feature not found on any other OS group (Linux + OSX included).

I know we all like to think and strangely wish that we could replace Windows server with Linux boxes and Windows desktops with Linux desktops but the sad truth is that there is no good replacement for Exchange or Active Directory (and the myriad of extensions that you can install into it; even writing one isn't that hard), including all the mobile OS support for mail on it (and calendars), nor is there a Linux desktop that would be instantly comfortable and navigable to 90% of Windows users. My mum would be lost, for certain. I would be lost under Unity or GNOME3 (only with blind rage I feel).

It's a bit of a pipe dream, or very unrealistic. And I say this as a fan and user of all the major systems (and having been Linux and Windows sysadmin in the past).
There are lots of such questions:

1. Reverse a String

2. Find min/max in an array

3. Find/remove duplicates

4. IsPalindrome?

5. Fibonacci (iterative especially)

6. Primes (IsPrime, print first few etc)

7. Calculate Factorial

8. Find one missing number from 1 to N.

9. Basic Run length encoding (values and their counts)

etc.

It's trivial to come up with such questions, but it's not trivial to deliver them and judge a person on it. Before asking any of such questions, I'd urge you to exactly know what you want that person to do and have a sense of where they are coming from.

Apple, and by extension most other OEMs, will likely label the ports in the same way Apple already differentiates Thunderbolt ports from the physically indistinguishable Mini DisplayPort. Most likely scenario:

- Type C with Thunderbolt gets the Thunderbolt zig-zag logo

- Type C with DisplayPort alternate mode gets the "screen" rectangle

- Type C with USB only is unmarked

It doesn't involve the desktop environment unless you ask it to, and you can invoke it remotely from outside. The system does boot to GUI, but the overhead of that with nobody logged in is not very large.

> "treatment of neurological diseases ranging from autism to Alzheimer’s"

It upsets me that the author keep referring autism as a disease. A high functioning autistic would be very offended if you say that their way of thinking is a disease.

MS has supported event forwarding since 2003. You can set machines to forward events or have them pulled. The events are XML that conform to a published schema. There is a WMI call that call pull the aggregated events off the collection servers.

I heard this kind of thing from a vendor the other day. It's like people don't even try to learn how it works.

Why are they different? The event log has some transactional guarantees that were required for a specific kind of security evaluation...C2? I can't remember the rest.

The thing is...you don't have to install a client on the domain controllers. You can setup forwarding to some log hosts and collect them there.

I agree that a society with rational discourse is clearly the best option, and that this is an extremely difficult problem, notably because everyone likes to think that they're rational. We're always going to be subject to external inputs that change how we perceive reality and the world around us, and not always in a rational way. Some people recognize the value of reason, and make it their business to exploit it, while others recognize the value of reason but fail to acknowledge that the world they live in affects their views and perception of reality, and a third group recognizes the value of reason but sees their identity as immutable -- this is the most dangerous group, in my opinion, and a group I regret to say I've been a part of.

My point is only that our opinions are swayed and altered by propaganda, media, and the world around us in general. To say an opinion has been 'corrupted' is a murky concept to me, because I'm not sure how much of our opinions I believe are original, and what corruption actually means in this instance.

The USB type-c cables are also just a mess. They can support 5 different USB PD profiles and can support either just USB 2.0 or USB 3.1. This means 10 different cables. The cable included when buying the new Macbook for instance only supports USB 2.0.

People will soon wonder why their device is charging so slowly/having such low data transfer rates.

Now there are 2 additional thunderbolt cables (powered and unpowered) with type c on both ends. People will think it's an USB cable and wonder why their connection isn't working at all, or try to replace it with an USB cable
