I think this story also shows the problems with patents. If Takata was allowed to use the mixture that was "invented" by other airbag makers, would they have used their dangerous ammonium nitrate mixture? It also shows the dangers

Well, I do it too. It's just for convenience, you use the apostroph character much more frequently in ordinary language.

I was wondering if GitLab provides a Markdown editor that could be used by non-technical users directly from the web interface? Something like Prose[1], Dillinger[2] or StackEdit[3]. Of course you could argue if it's in scope for a pro

Fixed costs aren't totally fixed, it's just that they won't change for every unit produced. But it may be the case that they will change when you produce say an additional 100 units (or 1,000 or 10,000 units). So if you ramp

I would prefer the T460 (or the bigger T560), just because the battery of the T460s isn't user replaceable.

I think that the gist of the article is that you can be more creative (i.e. come up with ideas that hardly anyone thought of before), if you have more distance from culture. In other words, people that are deeply entrenched in culture, can

This is really a problem I think. Maybe GitLab could reconsider to adopt a licensing model[1] for the Enterprise Edition that would make it more Free Software friendly? [1] I.e. a licensing model based on GPL and selling services that Red H

They're probably talking about the wireless network adapter here, not the CPU. If that's what you're implying.

This reminds me of one of my first programming jobs as external consultant for the Baggage Handling System at Schiphol in 2000/2001, I was 17 years old. My employer at that time was using MS Excel to parse the log files of all sensors

How hard would it be to create a backend for PostgreSQL? I'm currently in doubt to move to either Mailpile or your platform on my personal server. However, PostgreSQL would be a big plus for your platform, since I don't have any e

Yeah, that's exactly the way I do it. The invoice data from my hledger file and a HTML template together are generated to a HTML invoice. The HTML invoice together with a CSS file are processed to PDF using WeasyPrint [1]. [1] http:&#

I agree. For me the automatic "pulling" of local variables from the context feels like "magic", and I think that's an undesirable property for a programming language. Of course, PEP498 has the same issue.

I agree. I've a T530 with Quad Core i7 and I prefer it to my previous MacBook Pro. I'm running Debian Jessie. I believe it's also possible to replace the BIOS with CoreBoot, however I haven't tried. I like the fact that

You're right about you're being clear about working there, I'm sorry if I've sounded a bit harsh. Thank you for your analysis BTW. I think it's always useful to provide constructive review to fellow developers. I ag

You've forgotten to include the plug for FastMail. And maybe you should include the fact that you work for FastMail (it's not that you're hiding it, it's in your profile, but it's nice to mention in the text if you&

Very nice initiative. But for me the biggest problem with adoption of SSL is still that every domain name needs it's unique IPv4 address, and all problems that come with that, not registering or paying for the SSL certificate. At work,

Funny that you mention it, I've got static shocks from my MBP 2,1 quite often. Hated it. Switched to a ThinkPad and I'm happy working with a quad core T530 now. I've also tried the T540p, but I didn't like the trackpad a

I expect HN people to get their vocabulary straight and use the word "hacker" only for the people that build things. This story is obviously about a cracker.

I've been using GNOME 3 on Debian Jessie for about a year now on my main work machine and I have to say that I'm very happy with it. I switched to it after having used a XMonad desktop for about a year, I think that says a lot. Wh

Thank you for your comment. I've ended up installing 7.8.1 from the binary distributions from the GHC site: http://www.haskell.org/ghc/download_ghc_7_8_1 As easy as: tar -xJvf ghc-7.8.1-i386-unknown-linux-deb7

What will be the easiest way to get GHC 7.8.1 running alongside the official GHC packages for Debian (specifically Jessie)? Should I download a package from http://deb.haskell.org/ ? If so, where can I find 7.8.1?
