> The update only froze once for me (had to hard reset). No side effects from that. This was the smoothest windows update process I've ever had.

Having to hard reset during an update due to a freeze doesn't exactly sound like a particularly smooth process. I guess your perspective depends on your experiences with previous updates.

Ouch. That's pretty awful.

Including the per-device unique id for advertisers?

> Windows 10 is an absolutely amazing OS

> the best Windows I've ever used

> the best desktop OS I've ever used

I'm not doubting your enthusiasm, but could you elaborate on which features you believe make it superior to every other desktop OS you've ever used?

If you had no concerns running a pirated copy of the old version what's stopping you from getting a pirated copy of the newer version?

Be sure to read the licensing fine print about data collection for advertising etc.

SBT uses incremental compilation. That might account for the difference observed by parent (on incremental builds only)?

I've never seen $1 used in production code.

There are many readers of HN who aren't in the US and plenty of older cars around. In some countries carburetors were going into new cars after 2000.

At first glance I read that as "...but Eclipse is not a great product"

Android Studio is based on IntelliJ which is a far more polished IDE.

Out of curiosity, what else would be on that list?

Let's hope this works out better than the North Korean nuclear deal.

Lenovo sells many laptops which cost much less than Thinkpads. Thinkpads tend to be the more expensive models. A quick search for "macbook" and "thinkpad" prices between $900 and $1300 for macbook and between $400 and $999 for thinkpad. Searching for a regular "Lenovo laptop" (excluding Thinkpads) I see prices as low as $190.

Some trivia: In the rest of the English speaking world (including the UK where the series of books originates from) the series is known as Where's Wally:

The only negative was a small memory overhead.

The background color of ads section in search results seems to get closer and closer to the regular page background each year, or maybe it's just my eyes.

yes

I'm also curious to see how things evolve with the countermeasures: http://www.businessinsider.com/former-google-exec-launches-s... (a terrible idea imho).

You're piecing together two unrelated sentences from the article to tell a different story...

"No collision took place" - refers to the two cars in this case.

"In all cases, the self-driving prototype was not at fault, according to the California Department of Motor Vehicles and the companies." - refers to previous crashes excluding the one being discussed in the article.

Both vehicles would be doing a ton of data collection, so it's hard to imagine a situation where false claims wouldn't easily be debunked with data/footage from the vehicles themselves.

If the time to restart your process or host affects the overall operation and performance of your service you're doing it wrong.

October 2014 + 1 year = October 2015

Scala support for Lambda:

I also code Scala for a living and the Scala experience in IntelliJ is pretty far ahead of anything else. It feels very close to being just as polished as using Java in IntelliJ.

There's a subtle distinction here... It's pretty common for a widely used Java library to be compiled and/or coded against an older JDK version e.g. JDK 5 or 6. This is seldom an issue as most well written libraries written using JDK5 or JDK6 will work perfectly with and have been tested on JDK 8.

I would definitely NOT say that the Java community isn't too concerned with JDK7 EOL. No responsible developer is going to run a network-facing application on an EOL unpatched JVM as it's a security risk (unless you fork out for a support contract for older versions).

The number of bugs, mostly referring to the older MRI versions though.

Do you have a link? I'm genuinely interested.

Which safety statistics? IIHS crash test reports or actual road statistics?

That's certainly not a shining example of software quality. I also don't think it's fair to generalize about software quality for an entire country based on 1 or 2 examples.
