I've found a solution which I presume is the one you have in mind, though it's worth noting that it doesn't work in Firefox at the moment.

Feel free to add a link with your answer later on, just in case you came up with something different.

You're looking for: http://eslint.org/docs/rules/prefer-const

It does exactly what you describe :)

This looks like it would be very useful to me. A pet peeve of mine is when an application does not use a monochrome icon in the menu bar. I don't suppose you could offer a monochrome option for the percentage, turning it the same colour as the icon?

Based on their blog there are no more tablets to ship, but if the words of an unfamiliar HN user mean anything to you, I can verify that I received the first half of my refund two days ago.

While it is hardly a discoverable feature, you can override custom context menus (at least in Firefox) by holding SHIFT and clicking.

I have found it to work without issues in Wine.

Since you've already brought it up as "blabbing" - why do you dismiss basic income as a solution?

There is actually a growing middle class - the Donju - earning money through the black market. They certainly have enough resources to (over)feed themselves - and buy expensive electronics.

As for the larger population, while most of the country still suffers from food shortages, starvation is not the problem it was in the 90s.

See for example: http://uk.reuters.com/article/2015/06/04/uk-northkorea-chang...

You'll find it in southern Sweden - "Jellyfish Invasion Forces EON to Shut Down Swedish Nuclear Plant" :-)

No, I have used OpenVPN throughout the betas without issues, and OSXFUSE added support in version 2.8.

It has to be a method that can not be accessed by malware - the very thing SIP is meant to protect from. I believe that is the reason the option ended up on the recovery partition.

I certainly understand what you are saying, but I must repeat the essence of my previous post. For something so critical, there should simply be too many safeguards for any test to make it through all the way to end users.

If a test update really did make it through, it would warrant significant questioning of the procedures at Microsoft. If a test could get through without being discovered, then so might malicious code.

Microsoft _should_ not be anything like where you work. I'm not a Windows-user, but if I were I would hope and expect that the update mechanism for one of the worlds most used pieces of software was closely guarded by several layers of computer-based signing and human approval.
