Funnily, the guy who owns AdBlock Plus also worked in the department of United Internet which invented Binlayer back in the day.

The issue I see mostly is that they actually sell access to the "acceptable ads" list. If it was just actually acceptable ads, it would have been okay, but mafia-like methods? that’s just morally inacceptable.

In my previous comment I didn't mention relativity.

> If you're measuring N-S electron spin, you will get 100% N spin or 100% S spin but never any E-W spin.

Ok, but not arguing against it. I'm arguing that there are alternative interpretation to that event other than "reality doesn't exist until we look at it". There are other explanations like: retroactive causality, many world, informational based, etc.

Basically, just read the top comment, it summarizes my thoughts on the matter.
Maybe they are assuming Linux users don't need a gui client? :)
To add: The number of changes tends to be very small, as reported in the paper. We are talking 100-300 LOC even for applications that are 100 KLOC. And these changes are robust in the sense that once you retrofit to include them, you rarely need to make further changes of that sort -- new versions will just work.
A large part of Wallace’s appeal, for me anyway, was that you could always tell that he was kind of an asshole, ever on the verge of being cruel, and not just to himself. Banishing contempt entirely may be a good way to live, but it’s another kind of death for writing. Which is one reason it’s worth remembering, as the image of Wallace as slacker saint and liberal sage hardens into Hemingwayesque concrete, that he was a Reagan voter and a Perot supporter; a jealous guy who once contemplated buying a gun to knock off a woman’s husband; and a person who put to paper both the notion that the “good thing” about 9/11 was that it brought Americans together, and that “AIDS’s gift to us lies in its loud reminder that there’s nothing casual about sex at all.” Wallace never wanted that piece republished in a collection — in fact, he wanted it forgotten. He’d probably be the last person to argue for his own sainthood.

This is the DFW that always has jumped out starkly clear to me from the pages, ever since I hit on the "Yours Truly" chapters in IJ. People who try to spin him as some trans-human wise sage of universalism seem to me like the people who see Jesus in toast.

He was an excellent writer, and he hit numerous home runs ("How Tracy Austin Broke My Heart" resonates with me particularly). However, I still think he would've been better if he developed less bland stances than his "apolitical but vaguely pro-status quo" fare. His romanticizing of the goodness of "Middle America", as in "The View from Ms. Thompson's" (about 9/11), is probably him at his worst.
how irritating it is for a lot of us

You mean you did some kind of a survey to reach this conclusion?
Yeah, esp. love the "Would you possibly need a logo design later?" part of your questionnaire. That seems incredibly relevant to choosing a good name for a company. (Not intending to troll you though, hats off to a clever lead generation strategy!)
Just signed up. My git functionality is at a level of "can do all of the basic jank easily but need to Google everything else", which I'm super comfortable with, in all honesty.

The only thing I really want out of a GUI is a visual diff/comparison tool before pushes. Does anyone have any recommendations for something along these lines?
For one thing, to get a very good quality, lot of resources are needed. Studio quality recordings lasting many hours, voice directors and voice experts who can sift through wav files and ensure phoneme boundaries are aligned etc. And even with this, the quality may not be predictable - but they have gotten reasonably good. It is a hard task to do it at scale (The HMM HTS synthesis used in my app is scalable - but quality is not that great and is robotic).
I'm assuming they're getting rid of all that native code for Windows and Mac and building something new on top of Electron. If so, why there is no Linux distro?!
That isn't Steve Jobs. Steve Jobs wasn't a suave political mover. You had to force him to wear a suit and take a shower (and then be lucky that he was in the mood to do either of those things that day) in the time period the movie is portraying!

"Jobs" may have had a lot of facts turned around, especially in reference to Woz, but at least they were portraying the actual person accurately.
Yes, I've never found a Git client that doesn't result in a second-class experience. For anything common, a CLI is almost always quicker and more consistent. For everything else, I'd much rather quickly search a man page or Stack Overflow for a command than search through likely verbose help documentation for a GUI app.

Ask HN: Why has nobody built a better Wordpress?
Wordpress is terrible. CMS as a whole is bad. Why has no one built a better one? I know people have tried, but why lack of traction?
I get what you are saying, and fundamentally it is a social/education vector. However there are easy, obvious things that Microsoft can do to make this better.

Off the top of my head, macro execution shouldn't be a boolean choice. Don't let Macros modify the file system or connect the network, without additional prompts/warnings. Default to not allowing these at all, and the user can't just click a "OK" dialog to start allow it. Bury that setting deep in Control Panel.

OS X/HFS+ has an interesting feature of using meta data to tell where files came from. You get security prompts even days later when doing certain actions with files downloaded from the Internet. Word/Office could act differently with Macros based on whether this file was an email attachment or downloaded vs. a local file the user created.

When enabling VBA scripts, they could be run in a sandbox for a few seconds to see what it modifies on the system. Yes, there are ways around this, but lets raise the bar some.

In Racket all kinds of parenthesis are equivalent, using one or the other is a matter of convention and readability.

I think the newest Scheme standard takes the same approach.

My stomach sank at reading the GP comment, to have missed the exact point the article was making. (I almost wonder if it was intentional?)

But then somehow it is so appropriate to DFW that an article about him becoming a caricature of a writer and bemoaning that speech in particular produced that particular comment, a sort of circular irony or something that I almost imagine he'd appreciate.
Princeton, NJ / Full Time / Onsite

The Department of Astrophysical Sciences at Princeton University has an open position for an experienced software developer to work on the development of the scientific data processing pipelines for the Large Synoptic Survey Telescope (LSST). The role will involve working with Jim Bosch & John Swinbank within the Princeton Astronomical Data Group (led by Robert Lupton, Michael Strauss and Jim Gunn), which, in addition to LSST, is deeply involved in the Hyper Suprime Cam and Prime Focus Spectrograph instruments on the Subaru Telescope and expects to play a part in WFIRST, the space-based Wide Field Infrared Survey Telescope.

The LSST will conduct the largest astronomical survey yet undertaken, observing a total of 20000 square degrees in six bands and around 1000 epochs, collecting over 50 PB of raw data and measuring the properties of 40 billion astronomical sources. Princeton is responsible for multi-epoch deep imaging and catalog production based on the LSST survey. All software written for LSST will be made freely available under an open source license; all data collected made publicly available within the US with no proprietary period.

This is a grant-funded, one-year term position with possibility of renewal.

We are seeking an experienced scientific software developer to contribute to the development of the scientific algorithms and supporting infrastructure. The ideal candidate would have at least 5 years of C++ expertise (required) and experience with collaborative software development in an astronomical environment (preferred). Knowledge of Python would be advantageous. An advanced degree in Physics, Astronomy, Computer Science or a related field, or equivalent practical experience is required.

We are seeking to recruit from as diverse a pool of talent as possible, and endeavor to preserve the Astrophysical Sciences Department's reputation as a pleasant workplace with a lively and friendly scientific atmosphere which recognizes that technical innovations are an important intellectual contribution to the science produced by major astronomical surveys.

Interested persons should send a curriculum vita including bibliography, if applicable, and provide contact information for three references. The final candidate will be required to complete a background check successfully.

For further inquiries, contact John Swinbank (swinbank at princeton.edu) or Jim Bosch (jbosch at astro.princeton.edu). Apply online at https://jobs.princeton.edu/applicants/jsp/shared/position/Jo....

In a 2011 New Yorker essay, Franzen named Wallace’s relationship to his own fame as the central battle of his adult life. He also gave voice to more than one “interpretation” of Wallace’s death that most journalists have been careful to avoid and many others probably found unseemly, that Wallace “had died of boredom and in despair about his future novels”; that his suicide “took the person away from us,” his loved ones, “and made him into a very public legend”; and that he had therefore, in hanging himself, “chosen the adulation of strangers over the love of the people closest to him.” Franzen said it might well have been “suicide as career move” — the “Kurt Cobain route.”

Based on firsthand accounts of what Wallace suffered, this seems like an irresponsible account of his death to run unqualified --- though it fits with the rest of the one-note cynicism that runs through the article.

Wallace had a life-long struggle with clinical depression, and was hospitalized in his 20s. He was for years on a regimen of Nardil, a third-line medication for treatment-resistant depression. The major depressive episode that preceded his suicide appears to have been triggered by an effort to wean himself off the drug.

Mental illness is a real thing. Just as Steve Jobs cancer didn't make him a martyr to tech and Keith Haring's AIDS didn't make him a martyr to art, succumbing to clinical depression doesn't make Wallace "Kurt Cobain" or his death a "career move".

The whole article bugs me, with its shrill hipsterism, a literary version of Courtney Love's "REM's important work was done before they signed to IRS". On a limb: I think the article itself is doing the same thing it accuses the world of doing by rewriting any sincerity out of the stuff people like about Wallace's writing. This despite the fact that in addition to being by all accounts kind of a dick, Wallace was also apparently just a "treacly" kind of dude, as the essays he wrote in Normal, IL indicate.
I love using Julia, but for me writing Julia macros came with a steeper learning curve than in Lisp / Scheme, due in part to the syntax. I kept wishing Julia was a layer on top of a Lisp, and that I can just write Lisp macros. (I know the parser is currently in Scheme, but you can't exploit that easily.)

Well, the private servers have better system and community. I don't really like the post AoS expansions as they started to feel more like other mainstream MMORPG.

Best private servers are/were really different to original game. Much purer in vision to original UO and populated by hardcore players.

lisp makes you an asshole programmer. you're encouraged and enabled to write your own language for each problem, thus isolating you in a world of your own views and ideas. it's a babelian tar pit, luring programmers to their doom.

being your own tin pot dictator is quite alluring. you get to go to great feats and neat hacks to get code working. to control and manipulate the code to allow you to write what you want. every new macro and construct shapes the product in your own image and ideals, subsequently alienating other programmers.

it's like these language revisionist cranks who want to replace english with their own little concoction that's just ever so perfect and logical. a complete ignorance of social factors.

anecdotally, I know of large scale codebases and products in simpler, less elegant languages, meanwhile lisp seems to be popular with the lone hacker aesthetic.

eventually, with enough practice, you get to the smug lisp asshole stage.

this is where you wonder why lisp is unpopular, or fragmented, but assume that it's simply too good for the populace. Classics like 'worse is better' struggle with the notion that lisp maybe isn't that good. Sometimes you get a naggum complex and trot out saphir-whorf. Other people are terrible and that is why they don't use lisp.

it can't be that lisp isn't a great idea. or macros aren't a great tradeoff. at least the ruby community is coming to terms with monkey patching coming at the expense of library conflicts.

lisp is a strange beast. a simple tool that encourages complexity. purity over utility. a perfect goo waiting for the next hero to shape it and return to the mortal plain with their new, perfect macros.

I pre-ordered Ultima Online back in September 1997 (well my parents did) but did not participate in the beta. My friends were all playing by the time I received the giant box filled with the cloth map, a dragon poster and the installation discs. I remember my first day just strolling around passing people outside Britannia and saying "Hail sir". What an amazing world it was, oh what are these 10 red names running at me? You are dead. Back then a lot of stuff was "broken".. my friends and I used to sit inside a building in town and steal items repeatedly from a spawning chest, selling them for much in-game gold. As the game progressed I remember many "exploit" sites and yes I too tried them out, gating around the outsides of houses with 4 of my friends until we were able to hit the right spots and be teleported inside, free to loot the contents. I also remember many times angrily losing my entire house and/or possessions to a simple thief hiding outside, waiting for the house door to open and the best chance to run in and kill me. There were many fun bugs for years until they managed to patch quite a few... and started to crack down on macroers and gold dupers. I owned a castle, many dragons, had countless PVP battles against 100s of foes at once (remember server downtime anyone?) and nothing will come close to it.
