What is jetbleed? Searching google for it brings me back to your comment!
You could use a kernel service that checksums the calling DLL or even all code loaded in the calling process and compares that against a list of trusted callers before doling out the secret.

Disadvantage, of course, is that you will have to update the list of trusted callers whenever they change. Mac OS X automates that by automatically trusting binaries signed with the same key (trades some security for convenience)

Another disadvantage is that this doesn't work well with scripts (the kernel service would have to know how to find the running scripts in order to checksum them, for every possible scripting language on the system). Also, any form of extension support in a trusted application is problematic.
This guy is the very definition of an ankle-biter.
One model I would like to see works as follows:

1. there is a patent pool to which all participating entities assign their rights

2. there is a functional specification for the medical device (e.g. a full-body imaging scanner that puts dose < x milliroentgens of ionizing radiation into the subject per scan)

3. there is a cyclical competition (yearly, quarterly, monthly, whatever is found to work best) during which multiple cross-disciplinary teams are invited to submit working prototypes that meet or exceed the functional specification. The funding entity guarantees that any entry meeting the minimum standards of the specification will get an order of x thousand units for testing.

4. The funding entity also gets a non-exclusive license to manufacture the winning design. (non-exclusive, as in any of the teams are free to commercialize their own work at their own risk, not freely licensed)
Profits from the sales and licensing of devices would be apportioned based on the use of technologies licensed from the patent pool.

This model would implement a positive feedback loop in which competition between teams would not be an obstacle to teams building on each others work. The main obstacles to this model are legal and political, and radically improving medical care and medical technology are likely to be popular actions. The key I think would be to get the FDA (in the US and it's counterparts in the EU, Japan and elsewhere) to rule on the safety of the functional requirement and the informed consent of beta testers rather than post-approval of completed devices.
yeah the fact that the singularity guys are trumpeting this socially useless "innovation" is hilarious. gee now i get my online diaper order shipped next day! woo hoo!
Same for me. Here's a cache: https://archive.today/JmiPN
I am probably working with smaller code-bases than you, but I've never had this problem with auto-completion causing intellij to hang on my mba. I'm pretty sure it is a 2011 model too. shrug
I think OP's point is that instead of learning the options of tar, you can just learn the basics, and use unix composibility to do the more complex things without learning more.
>No, we wouldn't, because we don't do that.
Yes we do. What do you consider EIC to be?

>Basic income avoids this utterly.
Not quite. If you give it to everyone the individual amount will be lower. $1k a month won't even make a dent. It would need to be closer to $3k a month to get close to the combined benefits people can get. That's around $900B a year.
Hi there, I work on Matrix - please also feel free to come ask any questions on https://matrix.org/beta/#/room/#matrix:matrix.org -- or #matrix on freenode which is linked to the same matrix "room"!
More informative post about this from the lead LibreOffice developer https://people.gnome.org/~michael/blog/2015-03-25-libreoffic...
From an ethical/moral point of view, a UBI makes total sense; if someone doesn't want to work, why should they be forced to? Problem is we still haven't seen a single country implement UBI. Why is that? Wouldn't people favor "not being forced to work" and vote for it? I'm not an economist but perhaps the math doesn't add up. It might be that "being forced to work" makes the overall economy healthier.

For instance, if you're a professional athlete, you have to put in the hard work no matter what, if you want to perform the best, sometimes even against your own will. If you look at a country's economy as a pro-athlete, it also has to put in hard work to stay at the top.

I'm not saying that should be the way we should live our lives. In fact, most people are perfectly happy not being pro-athletes and not having to put in the hard work.

There's also the argument that if you have a whole country willing to decide what they want to do (UBI), there could be a boost in innovation. That's certainly possible, but again, any boost in innovation requires hard work. And certainly the ones forced to do the hard work would outperform the others. But then again, that's a form of slavery.
Yes there has. The Great Depression was a deflationary spiral. Bank failures caused people to hoard currency. This hoarding led to decreased investment and economic activity. The decrease in economic activity led people to lose jobs, which caused them to hoard even more money.

In addition, the decrease in the money supply greatly increased the value of debts. You were getting paid less, but the your mortgage payment remained the same. This ended up being a crushing burden even for those who managed to keep their jobs.
Python code is inherently more maintainable.

Even Python 2.7 versus 3.x belies that.

Does every Python programmer use the same sorting mechanism? Object decomposition technique? File layout? Naming conventions? Web framework? Database? Testing strategy? Documentation format? Installation mechanism? Editor?

Semi-enforced consistency of indentation would have contributed very little to the maintainability of any project to which I've contributed. I care more about finding and understanding and modifying code than whether I need to run it through a tidier.
I'm not sure I agree with the section on countersteering. It says that "out-tracking", the fact that you steer the wheel out from under the bike, is more important than than gyroscopic precession. For motorcycles on highway speeds, I think this is incorrect. If you've ridden a motorcycle at high speed, you know that the handlebars are basically like buried in solid concrete. With normal steering force, I don't think I deflect the handlebars by anything noticeable. The key is that at high speed, the mere application of torque on a spinning wheel, will make it precess, ie turn around the orthogonal axis. I'm convinced this is far more important (but I'm too lazy to do the numbers now).
Plus maybe people will cut them some slack, write a reply with some helpful guidance instead of just down-voting if a comment seems inappropriate.
This isn't Uber is it? It's someone calling themselves Uber for Developers.
Good for them! I'm glad at least one city is living in the future with the rest of us
> The type of person that stormed the capitol will perceive this as an escalation.

Who cares? The type of person that stormed the Capitol has shown they are impervious to reality. Time to stop the appeasement.
The graphs aren't showing up for me. Anyone else having trouble with them?
That's a great example for the search quality team. What's interesting is the synonym "insect"="bug". Note that the result you like is whatsthatBUG.com, which actually contains no instances of the original query term "insect" and only two isolated side navigation instances of "insects".

Yet it seems like the synonym "bug" on Google, plus the other terms like "junk" and "attached", leads to complaints about software.

In a way, you were lucky that the whatsthatbug.com result actually had the word "junk" and "attached". The letter-writer was using the word "junk" in the same meaning you were, but they were using "attached" in the phrase "see attached pics", whereas you were referring to the debris attached to the insect's back.

We're working hard on improving these kinds of challenging queries. I'm going to be remembering the insect with junk attached to its back for a while!
If officer recording becomes the norm though, an "accidentally" deleted recording is going to be viewed with a lot of suspicion by the courts and is going to put a lot more weight onto any testimony against you.
The reason I am using Tor in this case is not for anonymity.
I am using it to circumvent IP filtering by the said website.
Later they note it is currently (2013) 64%, so I don't think it's a typo.
They are worth more in the same sense a salesman is worth more than the dev. Without the dev neither have anything to do, yet they all provide equally valuable work. Perhaps it's not a matter of value, but supply and demand.
Integrating with Google Analytics on the server-side as opposed to the client-side has always been available. Developers just rarely do it because it is easier to add a JavaScript snippet to the page.
I was happy when I learned that "Docume~1" worked for "Documents and Settings".
Unforuntatly screen readers will read it out as

"which implements the alpha-see-tau-micro-alpha-lly P-delta-alpha-R-tau-A-B-L-epsilon..." etc.

Contrasted with a foreign language document which we would expect to be either read out in the foreign language, or mechnically translated and then read it.
> So in order to avoid dying or killing anybody else I plug the phone in to the aux socket on the car stereo (no Bluetooth in my car), select a playlist before I set off, and then let it do its thing. I'd switch back to CDs but they're a pain in the ass to carry in bulk.

Way back when, I had a Zen Stone to play music in the car. It was everything I wanted; it stored music and was operated purely by touch, not even having a display. It was tiny and easy to carry (though mostly I just left it in the car).

Since that worked so well, I now have a SanDisk Clip Sport which appears to channel the same ideas. Sadly, I've never really had occasion to use it -- I don't do much driving anymore, and I've never had a car with an audio in port. (I plugged the Zen Stone into a cassette tape adapter...)

But if you really think CDs would be better than your phone except for the bulkiness (and I would agree), that's probably the way to go.
GPT-3 literally does nothing except create good looking random text so humans can now create blog articles about GTP-3 on anything.

That's kinda useful?

The world seems based around the idea of burying old bottles with banknotes in disused coalmines.
> It's also a completely orthogonal problem.

See THIS is were I disagree completely. An electric car that replaces an ICE is NOT better than an ICE car that's not being replaced at all (be that by using it longer or by simply not needing it anymore).

Actual fixes exist and I listed some of them. You don't even have to get rid of all cars - it'd already be a huge step forward if the average number of personally owned cars per capita went down below 1.

You see, the problem with seeing electric cars as ANY sort of fix or improvement is that it's actually preventing much needed change from happening. This has nothing to do with any bullshit philosophy matters - it's just a facts-based assessment of the situation.

There's even more to the whole fixation on personal transport by means of automobile that I didn't even touch on. Not a single traffic problem will go away with electric cars and the inefficient and destructive suburban lifestyle will be actively supported even longer. Again, and I can't stress this enough - if you actually care about climate change and efficiency, you need to change your LIFESTYLE, not your car.

Lipstick on a pig...
A little bit off topic but it is interesting that companies are shifting whole brands to fit in with other logos on home screens.

The uniformity strikes me as very globalization, but I wonder if we will ever trend over to each company really standing out.

Similar trend to how car colours were very vibrant and different in 60s to today's grey, black, and white.
> I don't understand how every parent isn't filled with sheer, abject terror at their child's death from starvation, thirst, disease, or violence.

My boy is 11 months old and I'm already training him to be an expert swordsman for his inevitable victory in the wastelands
which may actually be a good thing because it will further reduce the total number of IE/Spartan marketshare driving fewer developers to care. A real win for the web.
Surely a logo - like on a coffee cup - is an advert for a brand?
Not sure why people are always so interested in cutting down other peoples' heroes.

"Oh, Einstein wasn't special, if he didn't get it, the next guy would have. Check out these folks instead." Somehow not sensing the irony that if we all did then worship the other ones you're talking about, you or someone like you would then just make the same claims on those people.. that they're not special, it was about timing and luck.

It's really not about the achievements for some people. (You.) It's just about having a person who only an elite recognizes. You're part of that elite and you're smarter for it because you see this other person's specialness and the rest of the world doesn't and you're better than them for it.

Einstein was great and original and irreplaceable. Your need to have found something better than what the common man worships doesn't make the other heroes you come up with worth any more, or Einstein any less. You just gotta get over it.
Does he? It sounds like he avoided responsibility for anything that might have carried risk, and only picked easy wins with good visibility in order to make himself look good.
nuking kills.
slowing down a network you are not forced to use? fine by my standards.
> The biggest change for MakerSquare—its new curriculum—was already in the works before the acquisition. The school intends to focus on the JavaScript programming language. Traditionally, programmers used Javascript to write code that runs inside web browsers, but now they’re using it to write code that runs on computer servers, code that drives the heart of online services. As a result, Phillips says, MakerSquare can now focus on teaching only one language for both browser-side and server-side programming.

Sigh.
I love that they are bringing something like Cortana to the desktop. Ever since I saw Her [1] I wanted something like that, something that takes away the need to look at my smartphone when I receive an email to know what's it about or who it's from. A smartwatch seems to be going in the right direction for that kind of things, but still, it's not the same as being reminded about the weather when you are on the point leaving the door instead of having to look up the weather yourself.

Even though this advice isn't something she might consider in her current situation, it might be good for her to hear it. After all, she's basically a hostage in this situation, and hearing people confirm this might prevent her from getting stuck in a "Stockholm syndrome". And frankly, I think her best move in this situation would be to say no and find refuge for herself. Yes, family members might get seriously injured as a result, but the way I see it there is no other way of breaking free from such an oppressive culture. Everything is set up to lure you back.
totally agree -- some of it is inherent to the endeavor of physics. but some of it is just hazing...
Why? The NYT, for instances, gives you 10 free articles a month. Not everything in the world can be free. People need to earn a living.
Odds of failure would perhaps be higher, given all the rest equal. Which is not - Soviet rocket engine school was at its golden age at the time, there were a lot of people both academically educated and who participated in large scale experiments with engines. Granted, today's capabilities allow us to surpass the level of sophistication achieved during the space race. However, we still need to try hard enough - and we know the support from governments is not as great.

Limits of materials were pushed indeed. Some safety margins for materials were claimed as under 1.0 - i.e., 0.97 - that is, materials were pushed further than their limits. The idea was that since the engine is used once, we can use it in the manner that greatly reduces the life of the engine - and nobody would care, since a stage will be done with in a few short minutes. A lot of things were done quite unconventionally - remember SR-71, for example, or oxygen-rich pre-burners which were considered rather impossible.

NK-33 remains unsurpassed even today by many criteria. Now it includes even the ability to work after 40 years of shelf line - which probably left the trace on engines reliability.
Reminiscent of how Digg hired far too many people. When you're taking big money and the press puts you in the same sentence as Facebook there must be pressure to be like the other big companies.

I think there's also an element of betting going on - this is a venture backed startup after all - if Twitter really starts to unlock massive growth over the next year or so then having so many employees will seem a prescient move.
Please stop that snowing :-/
It strikes me as the sort of thing that should be one function of a much larger app. Not a standalone app on its own. If the intention is to make it a paid for service, I simply don't think it's worth paying for. Other people might be willing to pay for it, but I'm not sure exactly who.
They lost because they failed to understand what problem they were solving and redesigned the whole system (and site)which targeted to solve some problem that they couldn't.

Why users went their was some games, some content and personal communities and power-play (that's my view of it, it could be different) and then they tried to make it user centered like twitter - which solves entirely different problem.

Now if I can't do what I used your site for, why would I use it anymore?
This looks like a great start, although at the moment it seems to be on-par feature-wise with flask-restful, which is also quite a nice project. I expect the biggest challenges will be integrating authentication and authorization like Django REST Framework has out-of-the-box - Flask has a dearth of packages in this area [1]

Keep it up OP, I'm interested to see how this progresses and I'll be following on github.

[1] flask-login and flask-principal come to mind, though they still require a writing a lot of code (especially flask-principal).
I think asymmetric links and oversubscribed link are apples and oranges.
It looks like a gonzo ball. I'm gonna take some time to come round to this, if I ever do.
At the very end they brought out an ATV and put it in the bed. With the exception that it looks pretty far out there the specs are certainly impressive.

Agree. I'm in love.
It screams “I have a lot of money and want to feel confident driving like an asshole”. Not gonna lie, there is a market for that.
Well there's a lot of people saying they hate it so I'll just throw in my hat to say I think it's incredible.

The truck bed opening up was something out of a sci-fi movie. Looking forward to smoking F-150's off the line with this.
The tri motor will do sub 3 sec 0-60.
My mobile browser is based on firefox and it doesn't for me. Which is my point about UA detection.
Busted armoured windows on stage, live on TV - priceless.
I agree but to play Devil's advocate I think the answer is "the network effect". Facebook could be replaced at any time, yet it continues to dominate social media. At some point, BTC could become, if it has not already, big enough to become self-sustaining.
I’ve asked on HN before why this exact thing didn’t exist. Now it does. Cool to see.
If the argument is that quasi-mandatory long hours in tech should also be scrutinized, fully agree. Working hours in the game industry, one of the areas where it's most prevalent, have been getting some scrutiny for the past 4-5 years, and I believe the tide is slowly turning there.
Any language that emphasizes expressions over statements will have this feature. Off the top of my head, that should include Haskell, Scala, CoffeeScript, Ruby, Elixir, Clojure (hell, anything Lisp really)...

The idea is that while you may be able to traverse code-paths with side effects in some of these languages, they encourage treating a line of code (term used loosely, as an expression can span multiple lines) as a computable value. It may take a bit of getting used to at first, but from my own experience, it now feels weird and awkward when a language doesn't.

Reminds me of looking at a nasty language like MUMPS or something, where persistence is built into the core language; statement-oriented languages tend not to be composable.
It's problematic that telecoms get retroactive immunity for their revelations of personal information, but ordinary people get retroactive punishment when their previously pseudonymous information becomes personalized.
Manning is the single most prolific leaker of U.S. documents in history. By what standard do you think that a 35-year sentence, with possibility of parole, is "selectively applied"?
There's a big difference in expectation though. Sure, you CAN put in 100 hour weeks at lots of companies, but at IBanks you're admired for it [and mocked/disrespected/sabotaged if you don't]. I have a lot of friends in banking internships, and whenever I manage to pull one to dinner at 9pm on a friday night they tell me "I had to take so much shit to make it to this!"

Just look at all the press (and the initial forum threads) around this death; notice how everyone's describing him as "one of BAML's best interns"? Why do you think they called him that? Because of the quality of his work, or because of the hours he pulled? I'll give you a hint: IBanking work, at least at the intern level, is really easy.
However, as soon as you mine (or buy) Bitcoin, and if you decide to hold them, you are now incentive-aligned with all other Bitcoin holders in desiring a future where Bitcoin is more valuable.

That's much like the incentive-alignment of founding (and early-investor) equity in a startup venture. You know what your share is, and want it to be worth more. So even separate from any salaries or formal-obligations, you can be expected to improvise to help collaboratively create the world where your shares are more valuable.

Other equity is similar: it's a claim on a certain package of legally-respected rights. (You can vote in board elections; you can collect dividends; you receive pro-rata value in case of liquidation.) Those rights might be worth a lot, in certain possible futures, or nothing, in others. If you're an employee-stockholder, you may be a bit more motivated that someone on a fixed salary. If you're an outside shareholder, you'll still "talk your book" and perhaps even direct other investments in ways that synergistically boost the startup.

People describe Bitcoin as crypto-currency or crypto-commodity, but its biggest impact may be as crypto-equity.
I do most the interviewing for our tech team. I will rarely even ask a technical question. I look for passion, confidence and that they can keep a dialog on the topic of tech going. If I cannot have a conversation with someone for 30 minutes, how would I work on a project with them for months? I personally loathe logic and algorithm questions. If I ever get asked them myself on an interview I will actually ask for a different set of questions. I dont think it adds any value.
If you think it's a problem that men aren't playing with makeup, write the article. Or heck, just read one of the ones that Google will find you.

Also, note that "it's just that men gravitate towards it more" is not an explanation. It's a way of avoiding actually thinking about the topic. Gravity is about mass, not gender.
This is how Automattic / WordPress.com has done interviews for 5 years now. There are some tweaks to do it well that we've learned over time, but there is nothing like seeing someone's actual work to see how they're actually going to work.
