HN user
I've found a solution which I presume is the one you have in mind, though it's worth noting that it doesn't work in Firefox at the moment.
Feel free to add a link with your answer later on, just in case you came up with something different.
You're looking for: http://eslint.org/docs/rules/prefer-const
It does exactly what you describe :)
This looks like it would be very useful to me. A pet peeve of mine is when an application does not use a monochrome icon in the menu bar. I don't suppose you could offer a monochrome option for the percentage, turning it the same colour as the icon?
Based on their blog there are no more tablets to ship, but if the words of an unfamiliar HN user mean anything to you, I can verify that I received the first half of my refund two days ago.
While it is hardly a discoverable feature, you can override custom context menus (at least in Firefox) by holding SHIFT and clicking.
I have found it to work without issues in Wine.
Since you've already brought it up as "blabbing" - why do you dismiss basic income as a solution?
There is actually a growing middle class - the Donju - earning money through the black market. They certainly have enough resources to (over)feed themselves - and buy expensive electronics.
As for the larger population, while most of the country still suffers from food shortages, starvation is not the problem it was in the 90s.
See for example: http://uk.reuters.com/article/2015/06/04/uk-northkorea-chang...
You'll find it in southern Sweden - "Jellyfish Invasion Forces EON to Shut Down Swedish Nuclear Plant" :-)
No, I have used OpenVPN throughout the betas without issues, and OSXFUSE added support in version 2.8.
It has to be a method that can not be accessed by malware - the very thing SIP is meant to protect from. I believe that is the reason the option ended up on the recovery partition.
I certainly understand what you are saying, but I must repeat the essence of my previous post. For something so critical, there should simply be too many safeguards for any test to make it through all the way to end users.
If a test update really did make it through, it would warrant significant questioning of the procedures at Microsoft. If a test could get through without being discovered, then so might malicious code.
Microsoft _should_ not be anything like where you work. I'm not a Windows-user, but if I were I would hope and expect that the update mechanism for one of the worlds most used pieces of software was closely guarded by several layers of computer-based signing and human approval.
"A very good example is Finland and Sweden. The former has problems because of Euro but the latter thrives because they control their currency."
There are several reasons for this - many of which are likely more important than the Euro - such as Finland having relied mainly on the declining paper industry and Nokia for exports while Swedish exports are more diverse.
I believe you misunderstood the last sentence of my post, since we seem to be in agreement. I also say that most people alive today will probably not benefit from the advances.
I believe that we will see significant advances in lifespan-increasing research over the next hundred years, barring any major disasters affecting humanity. Old models and expectations for calculating death can no longer be relied upon.
Most of the people alive today will probably (unfortunately or fortunately, depending on your world view) be among the last generations to die from what we currently consider natural causes.
You speak as if Europe has a choice in accepting refugees. I believe the last few weeks in particular show that this choice does not exist. They will come, and we will have to do the best we can out of the situation.
What would you prefer their policy on censorship be? Though I was unaware of CloudFlare and this situation, I believe that one compromise can easily lead to a slippery slope.
How do you see protocols (bittorrent or ipfs, for example) where content can not be removed as long as someone has a copy - are we better off without their existence in your opinion?
Games are not the usual fare on Hacker News, but with this creative twist I believe it would qualify as something hackers (and nostalgic Half-Life fans) find interesting.

"The NSA doesn't get my email unless it gets a FISA warrant since I'm in the USA. Court records show they get about 3000 warrants a year. I'm pretty confident I'm not one of those."
Your implication seems to be that this is supposed to make the practice more acceptable. Well, I'm not from the US or even a Five Eyes-country. I speak from the perspective of the billions of people who don't have these rights under the NSA and similar-minded agencies.
"The nsa could potentially read my email or track my location. But Google definitely already does."
From the leaks we know that they both do the same thing, which is to use their computer resources to sift through all emails they get their hands on, build profiles of people and connect them with each other. Neither could afford to have humans reading all the data coming at them.
The difference is that Google uses their conclusions to show you the most profitable ads, while the NSA keeps their conclusions to themselves until the day of your potential arrest.
Whether people consider the creation of such a profile to be spying is up to them, but my personal suspicion is that people would strongly object if they understood what was being done with their data.
In theory they could charge money for their services instead and not capitalize on user data. I would pay them for this if I was given the option and already do so where possible, but it would seem that I am by no means representative.
It would be nice not to have to rely on centralized servers at all. A P2P/torrent client built specifically for sharing code from git repositories, perhaps?
"It's possible to make a nuclear reactor fail-safe"
Are any such "fail-safe" reactors in operation today? You make it sound like a very simple problem.
"Much like with our Nightly builds, the unbranded copies of Firefox will only be pre-compiled with en-US strings."
I have been using localized builds from https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/nightly/latest-mozilla-c... for several years - are they not part of the Nightly builds?
Please don't speak of a "European attitude towards technology" when there is none. For example, I can't imagine hearing the attitude you describe here in Sweden, and I believe you could find plenty of germans who would disagree with you as well.
Not only are we many different countries, but we are also different individuals. There is no common "European attitude towards technology".
"...imposing further sanctions on North Korea, which he said was “not even close” to taking steps to end its nuclear programme."
North Korea - under the current leadership - will never end its nuclear programme. It is their most important leverage in discussions with other nations, and the main reason they get much more international attention and aid than other equally poor countries.
They may slow down development for a while, or claim to cease development at some point in return for aid, but a few years later it will return stronger than before. We've already seen this happen once.
Efforts to end the North Korean nuclear programme without significant changes to their situation are futile. The US should know this by now.
Such sentiments are only rarely or not at all expressed in any news I consume. While some media are intentionally sensationalistic and some others aggressively push an agenda, I find that they can easily be avoided with some critical thinking.
To give my answer to your first question - yes, while I did think of it as a European achievement, being impressed that so many countries can come together for a common goal, I was more impressed with it as an achievement for humanity as a whole.
Why, out of all parts of the world, do you bring up Europe specifically?
