Re:Unfuck: A utility for deobfuscating Python 2.7 bytecode

The Fuck[1] is a handy tool that I use daily in the office.
Is fsck something you'd avoid because of its name, or is the single letter change enough to make it safe?

The Rover is not connected to the internet.
Do you know what subset of C NASA limits itself to? Or hw architecture? The rigour of their testing? Should all C developers follow the same restrictions as NASA?

More job opportunities for the highly educated, absolutely. But I think you'd be suprised at just how corrupt and oligarchic the US is perceived internationally. No other western first world country comes close.

I'm a motorcyclist and do this regularly and legally on Sydney's narrow streets. It is quite safe. For leg powered cyclists riding with a reasonable degree of care it is certainly safer than the regular flow of moving traffic.

The opposition has spent the last several years pushing the Adani mine through in Queensland.
Re:Ask HN: Is value subjective?

I think we have a difference in vocabulary. I would say value and equilibrium market price refer to the same thing, but you are saying it is the particular use it has to the individual which is of course not quantifiable. Assuming the person who's had no water has access to a functioning market they will only pay market price. Arguing about them perceiving it to have a higher value seems like a pointless philosophical argument.

If the second person knew of the existence of the first, he could buy the glass of water and sell it to the first, pocketing any difference. Their perceived values should be similar.

I think he's talking about how mismanagement of Sydney's growth has resulted in awful traffic and sky high housing market. But I'm probably being optimistic.

As far as I'm aware, alcohol or other disinfectants slow healing as they damage tissue. Flushing with water is much better.

It works, but "works fine" is a long stretch. Takes a long time to connect, particularly after suspend, sometimes several minutes or longer. This is true of both windows and Linux.

Is that still true? I thought they'd changed that. I would have the developer edition myself, but I live in Australia and it's not available here.
The Broadcom chip is equally as bad in either windows or Linux in my experience.

Make sure you replace the worthless Broadcom wifi chip with an Intel. It's puzzling that Dell would cheap out on an otherwise excellent machine.
At least swapping them out is an easy job.
