I was literally actually thinking of this just the other day. Alcohol now gives me intestinal liquidity, possibly a result of too many years of 3-4 beer a night. And I couldn't figure out how an entire populace raised on the stuff wouldn't have had larger issues with beer than with water. I was thinking there had to be something I was missing about what I was taught (and I was taught it in college).
The only thing on the planet Apple doesn't have enough money to buy is itself. We MAY be in a bubble, but this is in no way an indication of that.
Yea, that's about the worst advice to give a programmer/hacker. The "maybe I can try this" and "I wonder if I could do this" is the core of my world. I've been told by actual engineers that things I wanted to do were impossible, but I played, and did the impossible. Play with your code.
This is great, but if you use a password manager, it's very difficult to determine which, if any, of your accounts would be compromised. For myself, this would just be doing a dump and looping a few greps. But for family and friends, does anyone have any ideas for a less technical audience?
Why not, I'm talking about a construct that doesn't exist. A SQL literal string can be stored and auto parameterized prior to interpolation. You see the :int isn't the name, it's the parameter/type safeyness that any good dev would want.
I wouldn't call that better. I'd much rather have a self escaping sql literal, something like:
var query = "select id, name from table where id = #{id:int}"I don't have time to look, but when I signed up, I was given the option for a free trial and the option to spend $500+ depending on the package. I'll have to look closer, but I suspect this is xaraminesque.
That's pretty awesome, now if I can fins a decent terminal browser that supports javascript and vim keybindings and the equivalent of chromes devtools, I can spend all of my time in the terminal (save design of course, but that wouldn't even make any sense). It's probably unreasonable to think that I'll fin that, but I'll keep looking.
Marginalizing an entire group of people simply because it doesn't fit with your narrative isn't logical, it's ignorance.
These aren't even logical arguments. I've presented use cases where voice recognition may be the only feasible way to interact. Is a voice recognition server's security as secure as my banks? Seriously, I'm done arguing with someone who fails to rebut logical arguments and just doubles down on a fairly ignorant position.
Well, I frequently see the people mentioned above, especially the elderly needing help with their phones or email or online banking, and giving their passwords to a trusted family member thinking that they are the only ones listening. So yea, it happens, a LOT. And big companies like Samsung and Sony never get hacked, right? MITM never happen, that's jus fantasy, right?
I'm thinking it's quite handy for a quadriplegics, those with learning disabilities, children, elderly, arthritis sufferers, parkinson's sufferers, thalidomide sufferers, disable in general, etc... Just because it's not useful to you doesn't mean that it's not the number one feature in someone else's life.
I would recommend against this in Canada, as it's illegal.
I'll be honest, I'd be much more receptive to you doing a show hn over pimping the framework in the comments of every js post.
It's easy enough to release some rats, throw some feces into a pot when you're the hotel owner. These guys weren't playing ethically. They need to be outed.
edit: changed an autocorrected fences to feces which chrome for some reason doesn't think is a word.
Fair enough, but it's still a valid comparison for most of us looking. Is the $600 machine 'good enough' for my usage, and it looks like it will be.
We removed the last bits 3-4 weeks ago. We started with a pre-1.0, but all the headaches with that are on me, not Ember.
I will probably check it out again at a 2.0 or 3.0 release, I love the potential. But for now, it doesn't work for us.
Absolutely, you are 100% correct. I definitely misspoke.
I don't think anyone is missing the point at all. I fully understand what you're attempting to do because I tried to implement an Ember project only to have so many negatives pile up that it was actively working against our goals.
I really wanted to like Ember, but even with those issues aside, the two most common comments on out team about Ember were "Wait, why is that working?" and "I didn't change anything, why isn't it working now". Neither is something you should be hearing from your dev team.
You can do some pretty cool things pretty quickly, but there are more promises that resolves.
What is it with functional cheerleaders and their inflammatory language and cherry picked arbitrary criteria?
Follow all the articles listed back to the journal being referenced.
FBI honeypot? Why bother, just cross reference your advertising shadow profiles with a few trackers of what you're interested in. Combine that with the scrape Canada is doing with all the download services, and the pre host intercepts to AWS, Google, Microsoft, etc... that the NSA is doing and you capture all the file transfers for all but the savviest of people. Operating TPB would expose them to potential liability at home. I highly doubt the MPAA/RIAA/etc... are not going to sue if they found out the FBI is directly responsible for disseminating 300K copies of frozen and Taylor Swift's album for free to capture the fairly useless proxied VPN of the uploaders. America and Canada have proven that they don't need to operate the hosts, they can capture all the data just fine without exposing themselves to the risk.
Regardless, assume the FBI/NSA/CSIS/MI-X/etc... are capturing everything you do including the comments on here, reddit, twitter, Facebook, 4-chan, torrent, tor, and really everywhere else. The can unravel that onion, so unless it's carefully encrypted, and it on the internet, assume the governments either have it or have access to it.
HN is a fickle beast, one I've quit several times for being down voted to oblivion for a humours but on topic, relevant and quite poignant comment. And the very next story on the topic had almost the exact same joke as top comment by a well known handle. I've seen vulgarity posted in the top comment, but been down voted for using the word bullshit when referring to something that was complete and utter nonsense. Don't kid yourself, just because the topics are intellectual, doesn't mean all those with voting rights are.
I still haven't gotten it working in vim consistently enough to switch to the mac for development. When it does work, the lag makes it too slow, doesn't really allow for method discovery like intellisense, Ctags and omnicomplete still get better mileage for me.
I worry about that too, but that isn't the topic being discussed. Life isn't fair, but I believe we should as humans strive to make it as fair as possible.
Just to respond to all at once, I'm looking for fairness here, not to punish those that couldn't pay debts. There isn't anything 'bad' about not being able to manage debt in and of itself. However, if you took 3 jobs to make ends meet and the neighbour simply took a third mortgage and smoked pot all day on pogey, it isn't fair. And this action doesn't install any sense of responsibility. All this does is encourage those who don't pay their debt to continue to not pay. And in no way does that improve society except for a very small few.
The money should be spent on debt relief, and work with those who have large unmanageable debt to begin sustainable debt management through education. Yes, lower it, but still ensure that people understand what debt responsibility is. Something that was entirely absent in my upbringing.
Simply paying someones debt clears a slate for more debt. It doesn't fix a problem. Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day, teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime.
Sure they should. I have 3 and they make pretty good coffee. I grind my own beans in a burr-mill grinder, fill a little paper filter that fits in an EZ-cup cup, and presto, a good cup of coffee that pops into the trash. It allows me to have a maker upstairs in my den and at my desk in the office.
I want a tasty bit of convenient caffeine. I'm not looking to be a coffee snob, and the environmental impact is no net carbon greater than any other method. It's actually significantly better than Starbucks, which would be the alternative where I work.
In part, I love this idea. However, as someone who struggles with debt, I've worked to the point of causing serious health issues just to keep my head above water, so if Canada were to do this, I'd be more than ticked. The slacker next to me gets a clean slate, and I get an early grave.
I'm immensely jealous of anyone who has that much free time. I guess as a show-hn, I'm all for this. Someone wants to do this, then it's their art or stress relief and they're doing it for fun. But as a news submission, I don't feel this adds anything other than it's association with a popular movie. BrainFudge however, I really like.
I'm not sure why this is on hn. The creation of a programming language using a stupid syntax has been done, and has been done better. This adds nothing to the space, and it's the useless language equivalent of hello world. Good for you, you made your first hello world that is completely useless. But my hello world doesn't end up on hn, and nor should this.
