I agree he's not being a great sport, but I sort of see where he's coming from. Having worked with python in the last few months for computer vision problems, I've been really frustrated with how things are. I was expecting

Hm, why is opencv not there? I was playing around with it last week, and it seems it works well for only py2 right now (from what I could gather). OpenCV should be there in that list, a lot of people really need it.

Cool. May I ask, which printers did you test? Makerbot, lulzbot, ultimaker, zortrax, prusa?

The fact that nmap/sectools is still in fact on Linode, right now, the fact that moxie still uses it, as well as jacob and other superstars are using it in 2016 isn't a testament to what they think? And, I think hdm still uses

by pen2l 11y ago
For whatever it's worth, I decided to get linode oh so many years ago because hdm, the security guy, very warmly recommended it to me. Indeed, a lot of very high profile security folks love linode (nmap.org/sectools.org is a good

I see what you're saying and I agree with it to some extent. But I do want to say that being a 6s owner, it was extremely disappointing that Apple's newest phone is absolute shit when it comes to VR (using Zeiss vr one) compared t

Probably not true. E.g., do you think the average user of Tor takes this precaution? Thinking back to the times I have downloaded Tor, I never did that. It reminds me of a time when I wanted to get in touch with an HN user... they had their

Really? Which mobile device? Because I simply _cannot_ get much mileage out of my iphone 6s, most certainly I could not do my HN commenting (I can type ~80wpm on my laptop, and maybe ~10wpm on my phone). Plus, the screen is too small (I bro

And they won't when ditching the 3.5mm audio jack?! By the time iphone7 is released, every other major phone will have already adopted USB type c. Maybe people will be happier that they can borrow a friend's android's cable s

by pen2l 11y ago
But it'll stick with Lightning port, instead of adopting usb type C, the article suggests. That's disappointing. I wonder if ever the iphone will switch to usb type c -- every other phone will later this year.

That's typically not how these things work. You are bound to contracts you sign -- and the contract would indeed stipulate a 2-year agreement of some sort. Possibly, the contract could allow changes in a way that you can enter the new

I use microAdblock Origin, and Forbes doesn't work for me. Only with FuckFuckAdblock does Forbes work for me. p.s.: you should use microadblock origin over ABP -- search past HN discussions for why it's preferable :)

Hah :) So, as it happens, I was just last night talking to a guy who was basically attempting to make a 'FuckFuckFuckAdblock' -- a js solution to detecting the presence of FuckFuckAdblock extension. (I'm not sure how far he g

by pen2l 11y ago
Forbes is using the 'FuckAdblock' thing... so yes, it doesn't work when you're using Adblock. But if you install the FuckFuckAdblock extension, you should be able to see the article. Here's a link to the extension:

So actually the main reason I'm interested in ipython-style notebooks for my terminal shell needs is the benefit of having... graphs! and pictures! and other graphical things in a terminal shell setting. I'm willing to put up with

Ahhh... thank you for explaining. Including Bash, huh? I remember I used to think that if only a few things were different in ipython I would actually use it as my main terminal window. With Jupyter running bash, are people using it as thei

Sorry, silly question: I've been out of the loop for some time it seems -- what is this 'Jupyter'? It looks like it's basically ipython... how is it different from ipython? Is it ipython2.0 in spirit or something?

I think you make an implicit claim by citing these numbers that taxing those 400 specific Americans more is not the solution to solving problems related to the state not having enough money. But isn't there an argument to be made that

Are we really "raising our kids to be consumers"? I mean, you have to really go out of your way to not make them consumers. I don't even know how it's possible. I recall you have a daughter -- does she not go on and on

Thank you for bringing that up. I realized the other day I don't know what "cargo cult" means despite having looked it up many times. It's one of those words.

This trend is likely to intensify: surveys of American university students suggest that one in six now use mind-boosting drugs to get through their exams, a habit they may continue in their subsequent careers. Woah. One in six use these
