On the product page for the 13 inch XPS Linux I saw a notification: "Sorry, this item is not available anymore for purchase online. Please see our recommended replacement product." And a quick Ctrl-f for 'recommended' or 'replacement' turned up nothing. When I went to the product browser and clicked Operating System the only choices were Windows 7 and Windows 10.
After this experience I'm not entirely convinced Dell actually sells Linux laptops.
It espouses a (I believe?) slightly more traditional MVC interpretation where your Controllers are usually extremely light and in most cases completely optional. It encourages a MVVMC (Model View View-Model Controller) approach to encapsulate view-state.
Although I seem to distinctly remember my city of Philadelphia rioting pretty good after the Philadelphia Phillies won the World Series...
> "I can't find sympathy for people making $x/yr."
Why not? Where do you draw the line of people deserving sympathy vs. those deserving none? If they made $59,999/yr would you "get worked up about their plight"? Can you point out an article on HN (ostensibly a site related to the Tech Industry, hence the posts about Tech Workers) about a factory closing down where there was explicitly no sympathy?
> army people [...] are normally pretty isolated from social issues and don't have very well informed opinion of their own.
is both untrue and offensive.
EDIT, never mind I see you took the bold stance of commenting from a throwaway.
I recently took advantage of the Flickr 10 year (feels old man) anniversary to print a bunch of books and was disappointed with the quality of the pictures.
If I scroll a lot the bar will fly off the top / bottom of the scrollable area and slowly come back.
Feels like it needs a little work.
Everyone else is too big to jail.

Seriously, please take this nonsense elsewhere, many of us are well aware of the issues regarding law enforcement in this country.
I think that's still just a slogan.
Drive a Volkswagen? Or a Daimler, Chrysler, BMW, or Mercedes Benz?
I try not to learn anything about any creator whose work I admire, they will unfortunately generally disappoint.
I think the headline should be: We Need To Lower The Consequences of Failure
Seriously though how can you start generalizing / assuming about working as a professional programmer when you're not even 1 year into your first job?
Try your best to change things, but don't try your best for too long till you burn out and are miserable. Some programming jobs are there just to separate the wheat from the chaff.
Yes?
And yes I know that a six-figure income probably places you in the 90%.
However these people aren't the decision makers and can't affect change the way Google's or Apple's executives can. Until the protesters start protesting rational targets it's hard for me to commiserate or take this seriously. (clarification: I absolutely commiserate with people "gentrified" out of their neighborhoods, I just think the protesting has been directed at the wrong things)
So many of the articles include a quote from a protester that the "techies" don't interact or integrate with their neighborhoods. But I've also read many quotes from techies stating that they are unhappy with the situation too, no one wants to displace people from their homes or neighborhoods and high real estate prices hurt everyone.
If I were involved in one of these protest groups I would take the first step, get the employees involved too, and make it about something bigger than these red-herring buses!
Why the buses are the symbols and not the limousines or private planes that executives take to work; and are probably also provided by their respective companies.
It's so strange to me that in this situation the "haves" are such (relative to the aforementioned executives) modestly compensated tech workers.
What if he also assumed I was lying, drunk or armed?
When I called the police and the investigator came, I could tell I was instantly suspect #1. He began grilling me lengthily about my whereabouts the night before and who I lived with.
An officer in blue joined as well and they were basically threatening to confiscate my car until I started talking about getting a lawyer.
Of course this situation is nowhere near the authors in terms of harm or even potential harm, but it definitely showed me that ANY interaction with the police has the potential to go VERY badly for you no matter what.
