Yep! man -k even has an ISO standard with which apropos is compliant https://www.mankier.com/1/apropos.mandoc#Standards

The English usage is borrowed from French![0] However, it doesn't look like the original author was French[1]. I shouldn't be, but I am quite surprised to see that the apropos command as we know it is 43 years old!

I agree. He's got a great ability to drive conversations on Talk Python With Me that may be floundering due to a guest with little podcast experience. He also does a great job on Python Bytes with Brian Okken who is a less strong host in my opinion.

ibiblio also hosts a site claiming to be the world's first[1]. Berners-Lee used it as a demo at Hypertext '91. [1] http://www.ibiblio.org/archive/2013/07/forbes-unc-and-the-ol...

Publicity, or just a crazy easy way to fund year end bonuses. Some of their previous holiday sales have been similarly silly.

It's not a donation. You are literally giving them money to dig a hole.

The money isn't going to charity. Check out the FAQ.

Q: Why aren’t you giving all this money to charity? A: Why aren’t YOU giving all this money to charity? It’s your money.

It appears that PatientBank acts as a decentralized medical records/Release of Information office that may communicate with a number of physicians and hospitals. I'm curious though, how are you collecting the medical records? Are these interfaced directly from EHRs, or some other method? Do you handle releasing to 3rd parties (legal, etc); the article seems to hint that it's directly to patients and immediate family. Lastly, when a patient has shared their records with a new physician via PatientBank, is there any functionality for exporting these records into the physician's organization's EHR? Or will relevant data need to be manually copied into the new chart?

Just an FYI that there's a phone number in that screencap. I imagine most HN readers wouldn't exploit it, but better safe than sorry.

Edit: just realized it's Google voice so probably less of an issue.

I've seen that too (I imagine we work at the same place) and always wondered why it wasn't licensed to our organization. I know nothing about Windows architecture, but I'm always impressed with the backwards compatibility. The VB6 runtime is supported through Windows 10! And, although not officially supported, the VB6 IDE still installs and runs fine.

If you update this to use window.location.href = url, you won't lose history :)

can you expand a bit on the damage you've felt?

Looking at Javascript, tools like npm and Bower provide the easy, reliable and powerful package management capabilities which it feels like Python is missing. The key to their success? Both tools download a copy of the right versions of the right libraries, by default placing them in a special folder directly within your project's directory.

Isn't this exactly what virtualenv does anyway? Plus, with virtualenv you don't have to muck around in your $PYTHONPATH and you can still choose which Python version is installed for each virtualenv.

This article doesn't seem to explicitly mention any, but what are the compelling reasons to use pip over pyenv/virtualenv for project isolation? I guess using 1 tool to install dependencies and isolate your working environment is handy. I'm unsure if the overhead of virtualenv is so high that it offers a compelling reason to switch (at least for me).

I initially interpreted the title as a Python API to CNN the television channel and was curious how that was implemented. But, after clicking on the link I actually learned a bit about something that seems pretty fascinating. So, thanks for that!

It might be nice from a usability perspective to only show the error message once. As it stands now, it's possible to continually search for a non-existing API and fill the screen with red errors [1]. (Not that this is a particularly compelling or realistic workflow or even worth fixing. They disappear within a few seconds anyway, which is nice.)

I use dwm with dmenu on arch. The configuration is in C and it's incredibly lightweight.

Ditto. I believe it's a combination of the small text width and the low contrast gray on white. Perhaps this looks great on retina displays but not my 1280x800 display.

For anyone interested, here's a version that highlights the original poster in comment threads: https://github.com/killerbat00/HackerNew

As someone who will graduate college with a good amount of debt, this seems promising. Judging from tweets, it seems like people are finding success in this, though I would like to have more info without having to sign up. I'd also like to see a longer track record before consolidating my debt online.

You can read Bush's original paper, As We May Think (where he presents the Memex) here: http://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/1945/07/as-we-ma...

Here is a database of his papers: http://findingaids.loc.gov/db/search/xq/searchMfer02.xq?_id=...

Vannevar Bush's ideas about information organization and consumption in the future were eerily accurate. Reading about the history of Memex and the roots of the Information Architecture field in general is something I highly recommend for anyone interested in Information Science, etc.

Definitely the hologram like HUD/interactive display that Tony Stark has. I'd spend most of the money on research and development, and attempt to write the code myself. It could take me the rest of my life. In fact, that'd be preferable! It's not like I'd have to work very often....
