GoodIntentions

Using this might give you a warm feeling inside, but if anything, it has the potential to cause harm by providing confidence in an entity that is being compelled to continue issuing the canary.

"The legal theory behind warrant canaries is based on the concept of compelled speech. The First Amendment protects against this in most circumstances."

These things are pointless if they compel surrender of the key. Does anyone think even for a moment that "constitutional rights" will be considered?

>compared to the average doctor the average nurse is an idiot.

After that statement, I'll assume you don't know what you're talking about or you're in some odd part of the planet where nursing is taught on the job.

Around here, nursing requires years of training. Psych, biology, pharmacology and I don't know what. We have different level of nursing qualifications, with the longest being a nurse practitioner, capable of legally prescribing medication.

It is a field regulated by the same governing body as doctors, and is not trivial in any way.

I have to admit, I've made number of commits with "." as the message.

No excuse, beyond it usually being a minor change well documented in the code ( I always write comments ) and me being utterly buried under work... You know, start the day with 20 things to do, crack off 4 of them and have 23 things in queue at the end of your day.

The "." was sort of a placeholder for "Fuck This, I'm ready to quit." ( and I did eventually )

This thing helped me with networking immensely in college. Nice to see it still exists.

I see vice asking to load shit from 12 other domains. Which one is neilson?

Whoever made this, please take the criticism constructively. It was good information ( thank you for posting it ), but should have been presented better.

Using light blue, blue, grey blue and slightly lighter blue was not good design. I do understand it would be hard to use clearly defined colours with so many languages. My suggestion:

This would have been better presented if the user could select a language's icon and see its' data highlighted.

( I know you can't do that simply with an infographic - you'd need to create transparent overlays, or something. )

Thanks for an informative post. I was under the impression OpenOffice was dead post-fork. Colour me wrong...

>I'm not sure I quite expected to see this on HN

I think it belongs - What he is suggesting carries over to technical endeavours as well.

1. Learning to cut mercilessly improved clarity of my emails and documentation.

2. Learning to put my head down and carry on till a project is first draft complete, warts and all improved my ability to actually _complete_ things.

3. Peer review as a bullshit detector is good.

I'll take Poe or Lovecraft over King any day for entertainment, but I might just crack 'on writing' after reading this article. The man sounds pretty dialed in.

>Everyone did. Developers he stole from stole it from someone else

Except perhaps the dev with the initial idea? Stealing someone else's idea might be widespread, but it doesn't make it right.

It will show up as an imgur link visited rather than a link with "seemydick" buried in it. If someone is directly reviewing everything you look at, different story. ( and I might say, you've got some workplace problems already if that is the case )

Honesty.

Some guy comes in with half a cornfield stuck to the undercarriage of their vehicle, who should pay for the suspension work? I deeply feel we should each be responsible for our own stupidity. If it is submitted as warranty, it becomes a cost to the manufacturer and I feel that is inherently dishonest. Additionally, increased costs _do_ get passed onto customers.

I get _why_ it happens, but it shouldn't.
