I think the best use case is when you need to present the same icons scaled to different sizes. The one that comes to mind is a web based file manager with different views (small icons, large icons, details with icons, etc).

OT, but it sort of reminds me of drawing xbm icons in the early days of the web.
This will unfortunately happen. I'm old enough to remember the first time "simulations" were used in news programs and there was an uproar over the ethics of doing that. Now, they don't even label something as "simulation" or "dramatization" or "re-creation." Thus news bleeds into entertainment which bleeds into news ... and Neil Postman spins in his grave.
It's the flexibility that matters. You can do way more things with Raphael.js and an SVG path than any image.
There are some tools available for command line debugging:

We don't ban accounts only for using that phrase. If someone just said "ok boomer", I'd either not reply or do a "please don't do this here" (https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=false&qu...) In practice, though, accounts that do that kind of thing tend also to do other things. Combining it with personal attack is already an escalation.

In any case, it is generational flamebait, which is off topic on HN regardless of generation.
Indeed, extensions like .ME and .CO have a bright future, same for domain hacks (except for .US ones).
Why do you say that?

In the USA, we do not consider such a person to be lesser....
Actually, now that you mention it...

According to recent California law, "a gift certificate with a cash value of less than ten dollars ($10) is redeemable in cash (not a new certificate or merchandise) for its cash value."

Disney dollars are generally available only in denominations of $10 or less, so they may actually be an incredibly-inconvenient cash equivalent in California.
The substring search is HUGE, though. Also, if they support searching attachments, that would be great -- I haven't looked carefully to see if they do.
This person is just.. confused, to put it nicely.

My password system is detailed here: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2431480

It's secure, passwords are never stored, and it's not based on any false premises.
and a decade later, Google's been making billions of dollars each year, and despite massive investment Microsoft is barely breaking even.

so true, MS still has the Windows, Office, SQL/Excahnge, and XBox businesses. but its failures in the internet mean that it's not seen as a leader, and its stock price is justifiably suffering.
Lots of organizations on campus (e.g. greeks) collect tests from their members and file them. This "helps" their members do better on tests. The situation you describe is basically one of the outcomes of organization resources vs personal resources in higher education.

Sometimes, it can work against the student. Particularly if the student doesn't attend class (low-level blow off class) and the teachers / method changes. I TAed an intro to programming course for non-majors. My fellow TA and myself created new tests for the class (it went from GWBasic to QBasic). A couple of students from one of the fraternities attended the 1st day of class and then the first test (missing the homework programs). I handed out the first test and got the following reaction: "This isn't the right test!". Oh well.
What's the issue? Backups can be trickled to their destination, and so can the OS update. It's just done in the background and when it's ready, it's ready. There's no technical or user experience related reason why an iOS device needs to ever be connected to a PC.
In my 25M word corpus, "this is fun" occurs 23 times. There are only 94,000 trigrams that occur more frequently.

Therefore, you should be pessimistic, and consider the password "this is fun" less safe than passwords in the shape [a-zA-Z]{3}, like "tsP", of which there are 140608.

Assume attackers know the algorithm (e.g. three common words, one 7-letter word in l33tspeak, a 6-letter string of random ascii characters) but not the parameters.
Constantly, like a 140-character vuvuzela.
And some so-called pedophiles are also gay. So?
"There's nothing wrong with MS's MVC framework or dynamic language but Rails and Django have a massive headstart."

Wow, Rails and Django have a head-start on MS's web technologies? No, not even close. Slapping a new name on it does not let them restart the clock and act like they're brand new.
The "boys club" analogy doesn't end there. According to several of my female techy friends who have worked there, it's a pretty awful place to work if you're female, in terms of sexual discrimination.

At least one of them experienced, consistently and repeatedly, behavior that she could easily have sued over despite multiple complaints to HR.
They are still under NDA.

What do you mean by incorrect? The equation has to be valid, according to the rules. At some point I ended up with 2 + <x> + 8 = 1<y> where x = y because of math. I had 5 guesses left and 8 possibilities. That's just gambling without the money at that point.
platforms that has no content controls tend to give users the ability to perform content controls themselves. The Internet is a nice example where as a platform, undesirable content does not generally diminish the usefulness of the Internet. Few is leaving the Internet because there is too much gore and porn, nor is it desirable to have ISP censor the Internet in an effort to reduce gore and porn. If there is too much gore and porn, it better for the user to simply decide for themselves to not visit sites with gore and porn.
This is a good bit smaller than a tablet
It would be embarrassing for SpaceX if somebody from the public discovered something in the video that SpaceX had missed. It therefore makes sense that they would sit on the video for a while, making sure they had learned as much as there was to learn from it before releasing it to the public.
But to the best of my knowledge, he doesn't engineer the insides of the products. He doesn't work out how the scroll wheel will actually make song skip, or pause, or play.

He works out how it will look, how we will interact with it, how it will be presented, and why. [I'm generalising and condensing though
And if you have 250 hosts, you want to use a firewall between groups of them so the network is compartmentalized: so if one host is hacked it will not be able to take down all the other hosts.

When a server is compromized then iptables on it won't help anymore, not even to detect that the server is compromized! Only a firewall running on a seperate piece of hardware helps.

A system should never be designed with the assumption that it will never be hacked: that is like planning for a life where you never get sick.
How do you call WM7 fully html5?
Do we really need `real' self-references, if we have things like quines? Or do you think quines are part of the magic? (Like Goedel's theorems are?)
It's worth reading, in my opinion.
So when can someone take this and make a site with linked mobile app that lets folks add to the data via checkins or something similar? Seems like this is a great starting place for a mobile-enabled, public domain "wikipedia" of geo info.
The reason Reddit uses RAID10 is for performance, not disk size. A single instance storage device is just too slow for the Reddit database.
| "AT&T’s network-capacity challenges, however, are not just 'looming' a few years down the road—they are here today, the product of AT&T’s mobile broadband leadership and its need to support multiple generations of services. And although other providers’ public statements indicate that they have sufficient capacity to cover their needs until additional spectrum is made available via auction several years from now, AT&T must move more quickly."

I recently moved from Boston to the West Coast. As an AT&T customer in Boston, I never had issues with service. I remember two dropped calls in over 2.5 years of service and that's it (I'm sure there were more, especially on the commuter rail, but the drop calls became rare as my contract/usage went on...) I was a customer who defended their service when reading about how "bad" it was.

Then I made the trek over to Silicon Valley. WOW, did things change. About two weeks I was talking to my dad and had five dropped calls in under three minutes. Usually I average 2-3 per conversation. Extremely frustrating, to the point where I no longer even pick up...

So while I'm sad that this merger is happening (I'm all for more competition and think T-Mobile offers great service - ex T-MO customer here...), I completely understand why AT&T is doing this. I'm sure weighing the cost of buying T-Mobile vs new towers (and the cost/time for those) just made sense.

Checking the coverage for T-Mo, they appear to have where I live extremely well covered. IF I'm still an AT&T customer in a year, hopefully this will help. I know a few other AT&T customers who would be happy with this as well.
It's clearly possible for CEOs to be worth the sort of money they get paid. E.g. Steve Jobs. If I had started a company and wanted to retire, and was looking to hire someone to run it for me, I would have no problem paying the right person 5% of the total revenues, or even more.

From what I've seen (and I am old enough to remember the old days), the main cause of the rise in CEO pay is that CEOs are now the equivalent of free agents in baseball.

The hedge funds are an interesting case. I'm not absolutely sure about this, but I suspect they are irrelevant, because while they don't create wealth, they don't confiscate it either, at least not in the old way.
I don't believe that AppEngine offers the choice of what region/zone your app runs in, so they would have to.
I am addicted to Coca-Cola and need the caffeine to stop the headaches, my diet consists of quick easy takeout so I have enough time to work in the evenings and spend time with my 3 month old daughter. I am currently working on a side project that I hope will prove itself worthy of "giving it a shot". Now I'm thinking I need to get my health right before I even consider that...for want of a better saying, it's definitely food for thought.
I've built a relationship with a supermarket owner. He gives me a discount and also does a lot of the work of calling around manufacturers to see which candies he can get. I suspect he probably makes a nice profit, too, compared to if I did all that sourcing myself.

The biggest challenge is that many items are region bound or limited time sales, so practically we cannot get them. If I took the train to various prefectures in Japan and chatted with manufacturers, I could probably get even more variety going. I was thinking of starting a new tier (Candy Japan premium) for that, but still thinking about it.

It does take time to prepare the packages. First of all we don't know exactly how many subscribers we'll have until the last minute. Then we want to order an amount of items that best matches that count. That takes more time than if we pre-ordered. Then stuffing the boxes takes about 3 days. I think the post also takes an extra day for them to calculate all the postage for a pile of 1000 boxes. So yes there are currently some delays, but from the customer point of view they get something every 2 weeks, only the initial shipment being slow to arrive.
Perhaps, but the Chinese attitude towards money tends to be different [and deeply ingrained over centuries], I think. Broadly speaking, they tend to invest and save --yes, they might invest and save in lousy deals, but the intent is to make money work rather than outright squander it as some movie or athletic stars in the US might. But, who knows, maybe the mindset will breakdown and they will squander it --ie lose it all in places like Macau. Now, for sure, some will go Moscow-nuveau rich style and and waste a lot in gaudy and flashy items but I just think a lower percentage will end up destitute (as say, some lottery winners in NAm might)
Sad... I use Blue Vine also and they have been great and supportive for small business entrepreneurs
The problem with individual cars is that they are less efficient than public transport. If you make a city car friendly you are going to see more inefficient cars fill up the existing road. The problem isn't some induced demand meme. It's that some forms of transportation are inherently more inefficient than others. You can solve traffic problems by increasing lanes if you dedicate those additional lanes to public transport.
It's really not clear. A licensing agreement was signed between the two early 2020 but the interim hurt IMG a lot, they lost a number of engineers, had to sell off their MIPS business, and the board ultimately put the company up for sale.
I think you're forgetting how bitter the 2008 Democratic primary was. The Clintons did everything they could to keep Obama from being the nominee (well, as we saw in 2016, not quite everything they could do). Clinton was made secretary of state as an olive branch to keep her end of the party secure.

I think you can comfortably replace "establishment" with "idealogically representative of the inner standard deviation of the american people", with some skewing for party politics, which is pretty much what a representative republic is supposed to do. People also miss that the parties frequently shift to accommodate their candidates, such that any candidate of a major party de facto becomes the establishment for that party (within reason).

Also, Bill Clinton was in no way an establishment candidate in 1992. Nor was Reagan in 1980, nor particularly was Carter in 1976. Skipping their associated unelected presidents (who by nature of being VP were part of the establishment), Kennedy probably also was not particularly establishmenty (but he cheated). Nixon was a solid component of the Republican establishment, Eisenhower had literally run the country's military, and FDR was president for so long it's hard not to think of him as defining the establishment. Before that, my picture of electoral history gets fuzzy.

All that to say, saying things are run by "the establishment" is too ephemeral to be useful.

> America is just a monarchy with term limits.

Yes, that's literally the intent of the executive branch as conceived by the founders. Even the term limits were feature creep.
Much safer than a TOTP authentication app, which is susceptible to phishing attacks, unlike U2F.
Convince them that "everyone" is using your new alternative. Nobody cares about privacy, security, etc. 80% of people just want to fit in with the rest of the 80%. If they think that their tribe is moving from WhatsApp to CoolNewDoodad then they'll switch.

Trust me, I've explained to people how Zoom has had a history of poor security and ties to the CCP and they basically shrug their shoulders. They don't care about that. What they do care about is being cool and belonging. It's the same reason all the old people who used to scoff at social media are now on Facebook.
https://badger.finance/digg is working on an elastic supply pegged wrapped BTC product called DIGG that is backed by a DAO.

Already has over $600m TVL into the project in just about 5 weeks. The movement in this area is phenomenal. The team is great. The community is strong and active. Super interesting times.
Congressional approval rating was at 18% in June. They can't act surprised when people start kicking in the front door.
There is such a negative emotional reaction to both BTC and TSLA. Sometime over the last 10 years or so we've found ourselves really moving forward from the old guard of the 20th century and we have real new beginnings. It's not that "this time it's different" it's "the times are different".

Embrace it, buy a small amount of bitcoin, buy a small amount of tesla, be part of something big, if it pops it will not hurt you, if it continues to grow and evolve you will be part of it.
Corporations will hire 'plausible deniability officers' specifically to obfuscate decisions.
I think a 100-1,000 line program is roughly equivalent to a small "feature" in a new product, so I think it's a pretty good metric.

Think in terms of the budget of whatever you're building - the python guys delivered in a quarter of the time it will take the Java guys.

It's all about solving lots of small problems quickly, imho.

No, it's the interactions between all of the boatload of features of the language that causes the explosion of complexity.
I wonder what goat herder in Mongolia got beaned on the head with it.
Docco is cool. Is there an online version of it, to give it a try?
All very good points - thanks for the info - lots to think about.
I agree that that headline is awfully dramatic --- but your summary misses what is, to me, the most interesting part of the article: that enforcing freedom of religion has led to inconsistencies in the way we maintain those other rights. The fact that we do have explicit protections of the freedom of religion means we are failing to genuinely protect speech, association, etc. That seems like a conclusion worthy of at least a little drama.
There are definitely compelling use-cases and there are people working on it (though not me). Developing tools/systems to handle sensitive data in a secure way is extremely expensive and time consuming. If you can create data collection and model training pipelines that can operate effectively with just encrypted data then you greatly reduce the number of vulnerabilities (e.g. fewer employees need to actually see the sensitive data and fewer points of attack on the system itself).

There are certainly a number of factors to consider besides data security when evaluating the practicality of such an approach but I just wanted to confirm that it was technically possible before getting in to any of that. Thanks for your response and the post, I knew almost nothing about HE before today.

I don't see these as separate solutions. Running your tests in a debugger usually makes it so much faster and easier to find where it went wrong.

I would argue find bugs at compilation would be a separate solution from this and even earlier in the dev cycle.
Came here to say the same thing. I'm surprised how often people misuse the term. Here's my attempt at explaining what are thought experiments:

Still not able to copyright that.
Guile is supposed to be the GNU extension language, which meant there was a political incentive for guile Emacs, but it was never asked for by the Emacs people. Considering the amount of bikeshedding going on for faaaar less intrusive changes to Emacs, I have doubted guile Emacs success for a long time.

Guile now runs elisp, although there is a lot of low hanging fruit left when it comes to optimization. Guile is shaping up to become a very neat little VM, with proper threading, JIT compilation, and delimited continuations.

I think the idea of elisp running outside of Emacs, with access to all of the gory glory of Emacs libraries sounds fantastic. Imagine org-mode and a (emacs PKG org-mode) library you can use outside of Emacs with a sub 0.1s startup :)
Looks fun! It also seems too time-consuming for the typical HN reader to really try it out. Perhaps you could get more exposure by sending this to high school teachers or college professors to show their students.
Volume 1 and 3 are easily worth their money, and then some. (Still waiting for my order of Vol. 2 even though it should have been released a few weeks ago.)
You rock – those tabs were driving me crazy.
I'm not talking about unit test coverage:) I read the comment too quickly.

I'm talking about tools like http://oclint.org/ and http://clang-analyzer.llvm.org/

If they work anything like similar tools in other languages, they would have found this bug trivially.

I found a slightly more comprehensible translation of that Vedic quote:

Who knows from whence this great creation sprang?
He from whom all this great creation came.
Whether his will created or was mute,
The Most High seer that is in highest heaven,
He knows it - or perchance even He knows not.[1]

It's something I've heard both ways. Whether it's correct in both cases ... I'm not sure. "I end up feeling like a statistic" is a singular form, for sure, but I often hear/read "statistics" referenced singularly as well.
Wow... Vikram Pandit is in this round. I can't think of a worst person to bring into a financial services startup. I come from the industry, and this to me, is Coinbase's Condoleezza.

I don't know how much everybody knows about him (I'm pretty sure his Wikipedia profile won't tell the entire story), but this finance executive has a bad reputation. Pre-financial crisis, he was COO Morgan Stanley, and later went off to create a hedge fund 100% based on hyped market bluffs. He sold the fund to Citigroup ($800m) in 2008* as a condition for him joining as interim CEO of Citigroup... and just a few months later, Citigroup wrote-off the entire fund. As per his role at Citigroup, I'll let you do the research and news digging.

I sometimes don't understand the tech's sector hypocrisy: tech wants to become a solution to the problem, and they go on to finance and advice themselves with the problem. I really don't get it.

* edit from 2007 to '08
Every time they say "classic statistics" just insert "what we did before now" and see how frustrated you get with this announcement. The whole point of using them is that people don't need a statistician because the tool should make it easy to run solid tests. That of course hasn't been the case and they're finally admitting it.
It would be nice if the link was to the top of the page, or the start of the Readme, instead of to #installation. A bit presumptuous there.
That's a very important question. Are we Peerio's customers or products?
Thanks! At least someone appreciates it. I think my average score is probably pretty low -- I make a lot of comments. :). Maybe one day I'll figure out my average and median scores, and a separate "top level only" score, since I do that a lot less frequently.
That's not true at all, what the hell?

Realize you're talking to folks who do this kind of stuff for a living, rather than just the random Internet denizens of most other websites.

The FBI will regularly inform and assist companies who've been breached, for example. The US government is very interested in protecting US companies.

That said, they don't quite have any guidance from congress on how to do that, so right now the assistance is limited. It is most certainly there, however, and your tinfoil-hat nonsense doesn't really fly.
You could namedrop Facebook, Google and Microsoft without too much exaggeration.
