I like a deal where you pay a fee and get a service. The "free" stuff can vanish on a whim.
The analogy is pointing out that homosexuality is not a taboo because it's been exploited, it's being exploited because it's a taboo.

Your original statement seemed to suggest that it is still a taboo because those who wish to exploit it want it that way. The cause is not power brokers, it's everyone (or enough of everyone) who makes taboos' shamefulness persist.
Eh, that's not quite right--the observation is more that the cities are bending-over backwards for this "Innovation Economy", that they are doing so to the detriment of existing citizens, that social and arts programs are usually not on the preservation list during this sort of change, and that ultimately there is perhaps something ugly about this mad scramble for money.

So, no, not "cranky hipster".
This kind of legal deception is the basis of all Sasha Baron-Cohen movies and TV shows.
Just fill out this form on entry http://www.usvisalawyers.co.uk/images/I-94form.gif with a lot of "Yes".
I'd add that not only are we comparing ourselves to actual people that are the "best and brightest", but also to a mental conglomeration of success stories that somehow feel like they are all done by a single super human even though rationally you know you are thinking of the small individual achievements of thousands or millions of other people.

In the face of that kind of comparison, it's hard not to a bit down occasionally, even though you know the reality does not match the perception.

Good luck with that. That's about 100 times more than the mass of all cargo send into space so far.

I think you're looking for the "visual novel" genre.

By accidents of history, visual novel as a genre is strongly correlated with anime aesthetics and tends to focus on certain story genres that may or may not interest you. However, there's no fundamental reason for this, any more than there's a fundamental reason why "cartoons" in the US became strongly associated with "for children".

Quality is definitely also mixed, as the bar for entry of this style of thing is low. But that also means there's the sort of vibrancy and experimentation you get when there's virtually no "commercial market" functioning as a taste-maker by overwhelming all the smaller groups with big piles of money and raising the consumer's expectation of quality beyond what they can compete with.
Works great actually. Did you source bitext for each language, or is it all synthetic?

The average movie theater ticket price is $9.37. This is roughly equivalent to a monthly fee for a streaming service. [and of course your total expenses will be much higher than $9.37 when you include the popcorn, soft drinks, parking, etc.]

It's totally trivial to add or subtract streaming services each month.
I think it's because it's easier to move your head side to side than up and down.
Ubuntu One is free for a certain amount (relatively large) and larger plans are really reasonable. But, not sure if you're running any Linux boxes.

Just checked out jMockups, great stuff! About the implementation, I see everything seems to be in "canvas", why not just use DOM and HTML elements directly?
I've been happy with Backblaze. Good cpu usage, and I restored files easily with a nice web interface.

I switched from Mozy because the client was much more efficient. If you're looking at Mozy and Carbonite, definitely check out Backblaze.

(Also, I met the CEO a few years back--seemed like a smart guy).
Buy one and rotate it sideways (all modern OSs have support for this and plenty of monitors rotate freely).
I suspect those using questionable SEO methods will always be one step ahead of algorithms, sure they take the risk of being identified and banned manually.

In this case a bit of user education would go a long way, I don't just buy off random sites without checking them up online or getting a recommendation from someone I know.

I literally ran `flutter create` and pushed this 5 minutes ago. There is no working app. I'm hopeful that a few privacy-conscious developers can come together and build a truly private app for families.
I think you are being a bit hard on Google here, they are strategic but also quite generous with open-source.
> starting ordered lists at an arbitrary number

The solution would need to be not just that, but also letting every li be arbitrarily enumerated. And at that point it's not even an ol, it's a ul (from a machine perspective) where the author might happen to mimick an ol. Or just nothing structured at all -- which would probably be a net positive.
Well done, all the best for the future mate!!1
Or they store a lot of utf-16 and need some byte order marks.
Thanks to CGNAT we have shifted from a 32-bit to a 48-bit address space (since the port is now part of the address).

Ipv6 really only serves to shed load off CGNAT since we rely on the continued use of v4 addresses since v6 is not interoperable with v4.

But why should Reddit support v6? For the greater good of v4 by reducing pressure of CGNAT for dual homed users. But wait, who are the dual homed users you may ask? Mobile users. And it will only be mobile users since autoconfiguring residental networks to dual home is not going to happen. But Mobile carriers have full control of addressing and TCP/IP configuration of handsets, and so they can easily deploy usable v6.

So the smaller sites shouldn't bother with v6 because they're not an essential part of the Internet with large traffic. But a site like Reddit can reduce enormous pressure for mobile carriers to deliver use of the Internet.
Aka a CLUE report.
Nothing specific to software engineering.

But I'd say a master is simply someone you have a lot to learn from.

I'd say you have mastered the discipline when even though you know the limits of your abilities and you are eager to learn, it becomes difficult to find someone to teach you something new.
Elon Musk says Signal

Why is that evidence in any direction. “Computer security is hard” is just as much evidence that Biden actually won by 10% in Georgia as it is that Trump won.
"Be the change you want to see in the world" -- I'm gonna have a go at switching as many people away as possible; friends, family, co-workers. It's all about critical mass so every step in that direction is a step toward your school and local community communications being on some alternative platform instead.
Please add Delta Chat to this list.

It is encrypted, uses email under the hood, and they have a large amount of funding as I understand it. The independence and cross-provider nature of this option means whatever email provider you use, they get very limited data about you and your contacts.
/Aside

First time I'm meeting my virtual Doppelganger, best part is, it's on HN !
I quit WhatsApp, Facebook et al and went with Signal. Initially it was hard converting people to a privacy oriented service, but today I have an endless list of open chats in Signal.
In that case... good. I don't have a TV so I am only seeing the headlines and articles on the Web.
There are 2 separate things going on, which often get conflated:

1. The actual malicious payload that was installed on the compromised networks was very sophisticated. It was discussed in the HN post when the news first went live, but the payload went to great and pretty ingenious lengths to hide its tracks and prevent detection. I remember a bunch of HN comments along the lines of "Wow, how did the companies ever even find that?!"

2. How SolarWinds was originally breached hasn't been released, and while the "solarwinds123" password is an unrelated issue, it does point to a pretty shocking lack of security culture at SolarWinds.

I'm going to put my chips down on the original breach being quite simple and mundane, but SolarWinds will go (and has already gone) to great lengths to emphasize the sophistication of the attackers to try to deflect blame.
This is way out of proportion, and you're suggesting this without even waiting for a formal investigation, which is almost hypocritical.

The whole point is that we should re-establish the supremacy of the rule of law. What happened last night was an assault on this. Enacting your suggestion would be the same.
This is a brain chemistry self-hack, and I am not sure it's a good thing.

Also I know a few people who are neither Buddhists nor super smart but have managed to perform this self-hack.

The human brain is plastic enough and if you try hard enough for a long enough time you can cause some very drastic shifts in function.

This might be a good thing, but I doubt it.
I've found that I pay much more attention to the terms of use for projects supported by smaller teams -- it's hard to feel like I'm ripping off a giant company like Adobe, but I have a hard time telling a small shop basically "HA! Thanks for trusting me stupid, good luck developing your great product with no money."
The cert keeps reappearing in FF 36.0.4 on the Mac. How to make it go away?!

EDIT: while the cert reappears, I do get a warning going to the website with https. Nevermind.
The ads are fantastic!

That sounds like a wonderful project. Alas, not a lot of details on their website/blog. I found this talk on their Facebook page:

The only thing one can do is let the market takes care of itself.

In my country(Brazil), unemployment rate is fairly low( ~5% )and the government loves to brag about it. Most of these jobs are 'artificial' in a way the government blocks innovation in order to 'retain jobs' and justify its economic intervention.

As a consequence, products and services are way more inefficient and expensive. At the same time, employees have wages that, from a Western standpoint, would be below poverty line.

For example, the government forbids customers to put gas on their vehicle. To do so, one needs an attendant who works 10h/day with $3/hour wages.
OWASP has been a major authority on web security for a long time. Their best known material is well regarded in both academia and industry (I wasn't aware of the half-hearted contributions until now).

OWASP's best asset, in my opinion, is their seemingly conservative approach, always there to teach me yet another tough lesson (again) about the ten original deadly sins[1] of web development. And other things.

While state-of-the-art content can be lacking, so could it also be assumed that those same kind of threats will be lacking in the wild. The greatest share of threats we face are mostly of the dull, low-hanging fruit kind of thing, that's been around since forever (because the same vulnerabilities are provided again and again).

> Give a man an 0day and he'll have access for a day, teach a man to phish and he'll have access for life. - @thegrugq

I'd like to mention to anyone less familiar with the subject, that OWASP is a resource on defensive security. If seeking content on offensive security, other sources are usually more rewarding (a pentesting site was mentioned).

I don't think it's that bad. As with any service, depends what your the user is into. Do the lawmakers prefer television? I don't think that is better. No ads on Youtubekids, aside from the sponsored stuff. That's a plus.
I love keybase still, and the feature of sending money so quickly, easily and cheaply between my friends is fantastic.

For my friendship groups, the worst thing by far about keybase is that it was acquired by Zoom.
I've been wishing for one of my small projects (3 developers) for some kind of "proof of tests" tool that would allow a developer to run tests locally, and add some sort of token to the commit message assuring that they pass. I could honestly do without a ton of the remote-execution-as-a-service in my current GitLab CI setup, and be happy to run my deployment automation scripts on my own machine if I could have some assurance of code quality from the team without CI linters and tests running in the cloud (and failing for reasons unrelated to the tests themselves half of the time).
I think they are right, but why is what bureaucrats think about YouTube Kids newsworthy? Politicians will always find results that lead them to being the protectors of children. They are using this to parlay into a bill being passed, as opposed to creating a campaign to inform parents they need to oversee their children better.
Oh my god, that is horrid.
We're into the weeds here on this thread but the search bar below will avail.
I have a position available with Fold... Fold is building the payments stack for a new economy— one that puts privacy and bitcoin within reach of every shopper. While current on-ramps are complex, expensive and primarily built for speculators, we believe in ushering in the next wave of adoption via on-ramps built for everyone else: spenders, earners and savers.

We have a couple of openings on our Technical Team... Are you interested in discussing these positions further?

Please email at: brad.kimbler@foldapp.com
The engineering culture didn’t working together to succeed. It incentivized people to keep creating new services that were a little different so that they could get promotions. It caused a lot of unnecessary work and an explosion of services. It was very stupid. Blame Thuan for that. He was a terrible CTO.
Well that is only if you look at software/ops as a 100% commercial undertaking. It is not.

Your time is only free if it is worth nothing. My time is very valuable. I happily pay other people and companies to do things for me because I'd rather have the time.

I think it's just a normal part of life. When you're young, you have more time than money. When you're old, you have more money than time.
It's part of your reputation portfolio which includes personal references, blogs, open source activities, and whatever else the employer believes to be predictive of the value you will add to the company. If the employer only cares about your SO reputation then it will certainly help. More often than not, I suppose it is only one data point of several which are considered.
Oh, smart! Never thought of that. We'll look into a nice way of implementing that.
...legally, yes. However, he couldn't afford it, and I haven't gone delinquent, ever. In practical terms, he made it clear that he was cosigning because without that action I wouldn't have been able to afford college.

He could not, and does not to this day, have the money to pay down those loans (which I am currently paying down). However, he did have one thing he could offer: a reasonable credit history.

Essentially he lent me credibility. (And then told me nobody would ever find the body if I didn't pay down my debt.)
Except it isn't internal only. Many of Facebook's tools are open sourced. And not in the "throw it over the wall" sense. Their open sourced projects tend to gain traction and get a significant amount of community contributors. By turning a number of their core tools into successful open source projects, they are leveraging the community effect to lesson the ongoing maintenance burden for these projects.

Yes, they are paying a high initial cost to develop these offerings. But since they tend to produce high quality products that attract nearly-free-to-Facebook labor via open source, the investment tends to pays off in the long run. It's a savvy business move. And one that can arguably only be pulled off by a talented engineer organization.
That wouldn't be appropriate as a specialized component of make. You could write a script that sends a command off to a cluster and just set

CC=script/send_to_cluster gcc

Then specify the number of jobs you'd like to run simultaneously on your cluster with the "-j" flag.

Marijuana helps people ease their symptoms and pain from certain diseases such as glaucoma, depression, tumors, and so on. Some time ago, I was depressed. Smoking marijuana and CBD helped me relax and put my thoughts in order. Therefore, it is good that research is being conducted on this topic and more and more new ways of using weed are being found.

I don't think they mean they didn't like leaving the space because people moved into that space, but because they did so in an unsafe manner.

I've observed much the same thing. After a certain distance, you will find people taking extra risks just to find a way into that space. Then once they have managed to weave their way into a position where they can move into that space, they will frequently do so mere feet in front of you. They will not take advantage of the giant space available and simply get in front of you at all costs as fast as possible.

It's really not about somebody getting in front of you, as it is discouraging them from risking their life, yours, and multiple other people's around you, to get into the somewhat larger space available.
Yeah that really drives to the heart of it.

Sure, you get more money by serving a few whales, whether those be giant megacorps you customize your SaaS for, or people willing to pay a couple orders of magnitude more than anyone else for your artwork - but you're gonna have some powerful inducements to change what you make for those whales' needs, even if those are directions that lose you smaller fans.

And when you lose one of those whales, it's a blow.
You fundamentally misunderstand SA. The wahhabists and the house of Saud have a symbiotic relationship. The royals turn a blind eye to the excesses of the radicals, provided it's targeted externally, and in return the radicals legitimize the rule of Saud as a theocracy. This is why the royals suppress violent actions within their borders, but not the structure that ultimately causes those occasional acts of domestic terror, while doing nothing to hinder how those same networks do terror internationally, including 9/11.
I got into PureScript last year, with a little apprehension about spending my free time with such a non-mainstream language.

The community’s passion turned out to be really encouraging. I’m still writing things in it when I have the opportunity, and I’m watching it to see where all the natural energy will end up carrying it.
My car’s voice activated controls work great but my brain doesn’t. If I use it then I get tunnel vision so badly that I’m essentially blind.
This is a great writeup, and I just want to offer a counterpoint regarding the eager vs. lazy trade-offs.

I found this article really helpful for explaining why laziness is important: http://augustss.blogspot.com/2011/05/more-points-for-lazy-ev...

In particular, scroll down to the "Reuse" section. Lazy evaluation enables you to compose functions to build new functions with the right performance characteristics (constant factors aside), as in:

any :: (a -> Bool) -> [a] -> Bool
any p = or . map p

In an eager language, predicate `p` would have to be evaluated on every element in the list, even if the predicate is already satisfied after the first element. So instead you'd have to write this function in an ad hoc way with explicit recursion/looping, without being able to reuse the more primitive functions.

Of course, in an impure language, laziness can't be the default because you wouldn't be able to reason about when your side effects occur. But in my mind that's an argument for purity rather than an argument for eagerness.

BTW, comparing "strict" vs. "lazy" is a category error. The proper comparison would be either "strict" vs. "non-strict" or "eager" vs. "lazy". The former is in reference to the denotational semantics, whereas the latter characterizes the operational semantics.
I understand the radar doesn't penetrate water much, is that correct? I worry whether this could be used to detect submarines from orbit - which would be very dangerous, as it could instantly break MAD, which currently hinges on submarines.
shudder

I can only imagine needing to toss in standard/daylight timezone switch in there. Billing code really is the pinnacle of developer pain. It mixes the arbitrariness of special case business and customer rules with the absolute horror of time and date math.
I don't see how Clubhouse taking nothing is sustainable. I'm suspicious their "take nothing" approach lasts forever.
The darkode thing was certainly interesting. It just doesn't seem to match up with what you see coming out of the @LizardMafia twitter. Though perhaps that's intentional deception.

I'm guessing part of the plan is to continue gaining infamy and notoriety to sell services, starting with the stresser. I also wouldn't be too surprised if perhaps the stresser is a sting op or honeytrap on your part, with the money as just an added bonus.
The TextBelt API may be useful - http://textbelt.com/ - it was made by a software engineer at Google.
The big downside with this is that you can't use function pointers or addresses to static memory (which means need to be careful with e.g. string literals). This is a pretty heavy restriction, and is too much of a limitation for a lot of cases.

Not to say it's not valuable, it's great. I wouldn't exactly say it's common though.
Not really. This is a Patreon competitor which exists for sometime. If it had an effect like you describe you would have seen it.
Pilotlight| Moorestown, NJ (Philadelphia Area) | Full Time | ONSITE or REMOTE

We are a small, boutique development shop located in Southern New Jersey (Philadelphia area) focused on building web applications for clients large and small. If you have experience with Python/Django or with similar MVC-Style frameworks (Rails, etc..) and have an interest in trying something new we would love to chat.

That's cool, Brandon-- I'm super grateful for you helping me out in the first place. =) It wasn't a good experience, but that happens. Figured I'd toss out a data point, in case other folks run into the same.
I took an investment. It's turning out to be a 'lifestyle' business that's been fully built out after just one small round of funding. I regretted it for a while because I feel my parents(who are very well off) could have funded the whole thing and we'd be sitting pretty right now. I didn't ask them originally because I thought I was onto something big that would need several rounds of funding. But then again the investors made THE key decision to pivot into a better line of business, so there's always positives.
If you read the original article one of the comments at the end was from an STS engineer expressing his opinion that it would be impossible (not enough propellent, never mind pilot fatigue) for the rescue shuttle to maintain station keeping for the required amount of time to do proper full suited EVAs.

Hence my "In extremis" bit at the beginning before thinking about the feasibility of non-suited. I wasn't asking if it was a good idea (It obviously isn't if it can be avoided)
