The leadership of YCombinator hates Jews, and tacitly encourages this type of discussion. You'll never see moderator @dang delete this stuff.

Note that @dang, the "moderator", who will instantly jump in and shadowban people who say anything that's not "progressive" will approve of complete lies like the one above. I guess that's what the YCombinator logic compels him to do.

Exactly right: OpenCV is the worst. And lots of trouble with Python 2 and 3 things that "just work" on Windows. I guess people don't do a lot of "real development" on Macs -- around the world, Windows is still the standard.

The only thing I use regularly that works better on Mac is "Vagrant" 1.8. I have to stay on 1.7.4 on Windows. If you look at their issue tracker, it's clear nobody's caring too much about Windows over there. Of course, with the Subsystem For Linux, I can just run the Linux one on Windows!

Looks like it did what it's supposed to do!

I'm very excited about the Subsystem for Linux. It will make Windows a great all-purpose development system. As it is, I have an easier time running must GNU/Linuxy stuff on cygwin than I do on Mac....

Making fun of Windows is "witty?" I thought this was a more serious forum.

I spent a long time learning XSL/XSLT. The theory was we'd represent the data on a web page with XML, and then determine how it's to be displayed with XSL/XSLT. I think browsers still support it, but it never caught on.

Dang tells me that "joke" answers that don't add to the conversation aren't welcome.

Windows 10 has a built-in antivirus that's very effective, safe, and doesn't impact system usability. There's little reason for anyone on Windows 10 to run Symantec/Norton.

Given the real risk of CRIME attacks, are there "compression aware" encryption algorithms?

This is much ado about nothing, as a famous Brit once said.

The UK could also become a monarchy again, or it could try to invade France. This is crazy agenda-driven speculation that belongs on Breitbart or DailyKos, not Hacker news.

I don't understand why he accosted that woman at the ATM next to him.

1. I would be very suspicious of anyone approaching me at at ATM, especially at a major tourist area. There's no reason to bother someone

2. There's a chance she's in on it! She may have come up there because she saw someone fiddling with the skimmer.

He should have either called the Bank or the Police. Don't bother strangers.

It doesn't really "cap it". It can go up 2% a year, and does!

Property taxes are not "low". Even under Prop 13, they go up 2% a year.

California's property taxes are about median for the nation. It has the absolute highest income tax (for incomes above $1MM) and near the highest sales tax.

So anyone who opposes Prop 13 is simply wrong. Without it, California would have the highest tax in the nation, by far. With such a large tax base, there's no need to tax that high percentage wise. The money is being wasted.

IMHO:

   1. C# (Using Microsoft tools)

   2. Erlang (Very robust, solid language)

   3. Python (Lots of users, good tools.)

It reminds me of the Yip Harburg song:

    Napoleon's a pastry
    Bismarck is a herring
    Alexander's a crème de cacao mixed with rum
    And Herbie Hoover is a vacuum

    Columbus is a circle and a day off
    Pershing is a square, what a pay-off
    Julius Caesar is just a salad on a shelf
    So, little brother, get wise to yourself

    Life's a bowl and it's full of cherry pits
    Play it big and it throws you for a loop
    That's the way with fate, comes today, we're great
    Comes tomorrow, we're tomato soup

I find I never need them in Functional Languages, but still use them in procedural languages, like C#.

I don't know. A lot of fast food tastes good. Like a fresh McDonald's plain hamburger which doesn't have any MSG or gratuitous fats or oil.

And it's "principle."
