That's amazing - I'm reading the post right now (as in, 11:28 AM pacific)- and I switched back to the tab, and it doesn't show the date. But I opened it less than 10 minutes ago. They couldn't have changed it that real time could they.

Hit Refresh. Lo and behold - there is the date.

Now that's an agile organization. Thanks very much - I really appreciate the date on these posts as well.
Yea i did just that when I moved to switzerland, surfed several peoples couches while searching for a permanent place to stay.
Yes, this is true. But when you say "je travaille dans l'informatique" (I work in <informatique>), what comes to mind is a developer or a sysadmin. Not someone who does "computer science" (algorithms etc.).

"Je fais de la recherche en informatique" (I do research in <informatique>) would mean doing "computer science".

I am not sure what comes to mind to a native speaker of English when he heard "I work in computer science". Maye the same thing, actaully.

In which case "computer science" would be one "science" where you actually need to add "science" (as opposed to physics, biology, ...)

On the other hand, we have in French "Science de la Vie et de la Terre" - a school subject loosely grouping biology and geology.
I think you missed my point. The rules of general society have always been written by a tiny elite regardless of said society's size or purpose. Just one reinforced by the masses either out of ignorance, zealous belief, or uncritical support. It's the latter portion of society that one generally has to worry about when finding an escape valve.

These days the big difference isn't so much about who's writing the rules so much as its about the tools available to these people/companies/interest groups and their respective motives/criteria for using them.
He may be accomplice or a strong suspect, the agents may be patriots or not. It doesn't matter. The FBI doesn't matter, this guy's words could also be fake and very likely doesn't reflect the full extend of the backstory.

However, the line between America, and what America stands for is very thin.

Cross that line one or twice, the nation becomes what countless young men died for fighting against.

my own view, comments welcome.
The SAT is a general knowledge/skill test. There's a math section (if memory serves, algebra and geometry, but not trig or calculus) and a language section (reading comprehension, vocabulary. There is an optional essay portion. Each of the 3 sections is weighted the same (800 points, so total of 1600 default, 2400 if you include the essay).

A-Levels are subject exams. They more closely align to AP exams in the US.
AP Physics is calculus based.

Some other points:

1) SFUSD actually delayed Algebra 1 until 9th grade, not just Geometry.

2) This choice was a bit silly, but beginning algebra concepts are still being taught in middle school. The title of the course is less relevant than the actual content, and this was less of a radical change than the course title makes it sound.

3) The actual issue is that SFUSD eliminated algebra tracking, and for ideological reasons thinks that students who are ready to study calculus in 8th grade must be put into the same classes as students who are struggling with basic arithmetic. Every student has special needs, and it's a disservice to all of them to pretend that a single unified curriculum and classroom is equally suitable to all students.
You'd probably have better luck just becoming a terrorist. It seems like that is what the FBI wants.
If they didn’t write their own OS is it even bootstrapping?
And which is enforced well across the boundaries of the United States. For instance, European banks have to honor the US list of AML/CFT targets to ensure they have access to certain banking systems, which pretty much amounts to a license to operate.
Are there any compiletime benchmarks?

I would be interested how much their approach scales in terms of code size, since they use likely SMT solvers to guarantee having no arithmetic overflows (which is more than Rust guarantees).
Ideally as comparison with compile times of Rust programs.
Please omit nationalistic flamebait from your posts to HN, regardless of which country it's about. It may not have led to a nationalistic flamewar in this case, but statistically it very much does, and such threads are the opposite of what we want here.

Overview

● I’m a freelance machine learning engineer (with a Computer Science PhD) with 8+ years of experience building machine learning products.

● My recent work includes: (i) predicting horse races probabilities for a Hong Kong betting syndicate; (ii) increasing license plate recognition accuracy for an Australian startup; and (iii) designing an AI system for a Japanese recruitment startup.
I've been a contractor for roughly a decade now and I can say that it's much better to be a generalist than a specialist. My personal skillset ranges from hard real-time embedded/bare metal work through desktop systems, GUIs and server side stuff with higher level languages. Even been learning some Clojure...
I've never been without work in ten years and have always gone from one job to the next.
In comparison, I know people who know only one area and they are a quite regularly 'between contracts'...

NoScript is one of the worst plugins you can ever install if you want to have a modern web experience without per-site configuration. Meanwhile, Ghostery caused a number of web sites to stop working for me - commenting in particular, IIRC, but it's been a few years.

ABP could be better implemented, for sure, but mostly it just works.
Yeap. The highest earning programmer I know is still writing COBOL for the same employer, as he has for the last thirty years.

Staying still can be fine, if you know what do bet on. A fast moving target like HTML is just not a good bet. Get on board of a tech entrenched in the enterprise world and you can probably make a good living for many years to come.
Pretty sure that link was public before... the mods must have made it private.

Your site would not be accepted into the Useful Resources section (lots of spam in the gambling industry, affiliate stuff etc). You have to be careful about how you get links, otherwise your domain will be quickly banned from the sub. A better suggestion would be the daily picks thread, perhaps auto posting the picks....
Whenever I hear about automated takedowns I think of the Gibson short story "Burning Chrome".
Why bother learning another language that is almost the same, like PHP and Ruby?

Well, OP did say you should learn a "technology as far removed as the one that you are currently using as you can stomach." Some people can only stomach so much.

You need to pick more challenging opponents, then!
Or perhaps, they're subtly satirizing someone clumsily pretending to be Arabic who doesn't even know enough to choose a plausible name. Honest Achmed's is a false-flag operation!

I've noticed that getting offended about stereotypes and word choice is a very American thing to do – and also shared with other cosmopolitan English-speaking areas. For most groups X, "X-Americans" are more likely to take offense than plain X. So you may see foreigners speaking about stereotypes – those applying to their own groups or others, in jest or debate – with a level of frankness that triggers the 'racist! must! object!' reaction in acculturated Americans/anglophones. Of course, YMMV.
Since these guys don't want the interview, I guess that means there's room for one more... ;-)
A decentralized method may be possible,

A decentralized version is virtually guaranteed in the absence of a centralized one. If you have many exchanges, and they offer different rates, arbitrageurs will exploit this and make the rates match.

This is why, for example, the price of RIM is virtually identical on both TSX and NASDAQ.
ColdFusion is not associated with fun development, may be I'm wrong, but for me it is associated with plenty of config xmls and other enterpricy stuff.
This applies to a pre-emptive nuclear strike of course, but few would object to a nuclear response after Seoul is a smoking crater. If we didn't do it the Chinese would probably do it for us.
If you are into hunting, I think you should make things fair for both sides. Leave the gun at home and try something like this:

You'd be surprised. A lot of companies are using Agile nowadays. And finding it more efficient than waterfall.
what this guy did at the TSA security checkpoint seems far more effective than voting

I would agree that's effective, but civil disobedience is just different than voting. I was not denigrating the OP's effort in any way; in fact I find it commendable (much more so than Tyner who took a similar position but was too combative and rude).

My point is simply that if we Americans don't like TSA's policies we can do something about it. We can opt-out, we can complain, we can get media attention, but most of all, we can vote. Our complaints wouldn't mean much if we couldn't vote.
It would be nice if this framework get more traction
No I don't feel lucky, I just know that people like the fear leader are addicted to power and would loose a lot if they die or their country becomes a ruin.
An old professor of mine loved the "Throw something at the blackboard" technique. Great way to get the class potheads to wake up

also lol at people downvoting me who don't drive a Lexus and think I'm wrong about my claim that they don't use touch screens. Maybe they had one model that kept a touch screen but the RX series didn't get one until I believe 2020. It had 4 years of not having one at least. That's by far their most popular car. I don't remember the ES or GX that I test drove having them either until recently...
> The basic principle of real security models is once an attacker has full access all data on the system is potentially tampered with.

That's not true at all. Like, not at all.
Those screenshots are worrying. It's unfair to judge it too harshly at this point in development, but we've all been burned by software making these sorts of changes.

If they do proceed with making these changes, it'll severely damage their standing with the core techie audience... the audience that installed VLC on all their friend's and family's machines.
Huge mental gymnastics to pretend "sell the data" and "use the data to sell something else" are the same. Baffling.
It may make sense for SI to stick to physical units business.
How does this compare to movim.eu (based on XMPP)?
I was also on pager duty with physical pagers many years ago.

The perspective I had was that it was a rite of passage for a systems engineer. I noticed that only the more junior engineers were on front-line duty. I believe the thinking was that by forcing junior engineers to go through pager duty, they would be much more diligent when they propose, create or approve changes down the road. Whether or not this is a perverse incentive which ultimately ruins productivity & team morale is a separate conversation...

We had a primary & backup who got paged at the same time (due to the financial implications of timing), so there wasn't a total sense of isolation. But, there was definitely that sense of helplessness when it turned out to be a problem in a totally different system (and country). Worrying about something going down definitely kept you on a tight leash with regard to WiFi and laptop accessibility. We did get a little wild with the wording on the policy. Some bars downtown had excellent WiFi, so when some of us were on call during Friday/Saturday we would just make sure we had a laptop in the car and pager on body. Definitely not the best situation to be in, but for some teams the amount of time you were on pager duty could be measured in years.
Can't argue with that, I've got two burnt out box fans ;)
I guess I'm surprised that such things existed. I never saw one, but then I still don't have a built-in touchscreen system. I just use a phone. I guess I assumed that any built-in nav touch screen was controlled by touch but maybe not.
USA is more strict. Also, Japan lock up much much less people then America.

Yet also, Americans are obsessed with idea of punishment. Their first idea of what to do with basically any issue is to punish more.

If only our code search and code review systems were public too.
When you say Java, does that include Android? I see that Android is supported, but couldn't find anything about reproducibility.

Reproducible Android builds would be very interesting.
PSA: For those of us on iOS/Safari, Stop The Madness recently added the ability to add site specific css or scripts https://underpassapp.com/StopTheMadness/

I guess there are other apps(extensions) also that can do this with the new Safari extensions api I just happen to be a happy user of STM
I'd be very happy to participate in those type of projects. One could even imagine that pharma companies could be _mandated_ to spend a certain number of people-hours on R&D in a research collaborative.
Haha yeah, that's the bit I found ironic with his post, not a very good observation on his part.
It sort of defeats the purpose does it not? You're using an anonymity service but a card that is tied to you, I assume?

Edit: But to answer your question it is entirely up to the service provider whether or not they will flag the Tor connection and block you. Personally, I wouldn't even log into any internet accounts I've created outside of Tor while using it.

This is an excellent and simple answer. On the surface fascism doesn't hide what it is but the implementation of Marx's ideas require more than a cursory look to understand why they inevitably lead to mass mortality.
But that was the point I was trying to make when you first replied to me. It’s freedom of speech to the extent “we” (the people and their representatives) allow, meaning the first amendment isn’t an absolute barrier to preventing the enforcement of a law “for the common good” (and the abuse that automatically entails, cf anything regarding encryption and the prevention of the distribution of child pornography) and it can accordingly make room for outlawing anything from PACs to advertising prescription medication.
The systems safety case studies in that are great. It's also available as "open access" (free-as-in-free-beer) at MIT press:

I’m curious how this looks in reality. They install a tiny client on their machine that follows their clicks, evaluates what’s on the screen and then does more clicks?

Then once it’s made the first time, it runs on their machine again. Or it runs on some central server?

The highly optimizable, explicit and precise code for the interpreter is WASM.

JS VMs don't need more hints from the code. They need guarantees. They already analyze and profile JS, but as long as JS is allowed to be dynamic (and it has to, it won't be JS without it), then they have to keep the complexity and cost of all the extra runtime checks and possible deoptimizations.
That makes sense, but that gives him a lot of leverage.

He can get a fat cheque, with a big production team and set his own terms if he's in a position to do it.

Or - he can literally make the same stuff, but have it under BBC terms.

I feel there is something better than YouTube for these types of shows.

I think the jump between TT/YT and broadcast is too big.
Samsung moved most or all of their factories from China recently.
Wow, it's so weirdly normal and anormal at the same time. The image of the tobacco cessation center was certainly interesting.

Loops are how most people think. They're also how most CPUs think.

It seems to me logical for both parties to express programs mostly using loops.
Inefficiency - "You should blame the system that forced you to work within the structure of the 8 hour work day."

When you are expected to work 8 hours a day, the problem is not that you fill your time with useless shit and then become unproductive.

The problem is that you feel like you need to demonstrate or show to the world that you're doing work for the whole 8 hours, or more specifically, you need to show that you're not slacking off for too long.

So, let's take programmers as an example. I've had colleagues who alt-tab A LOT. Basically, 15 minutes in the IDE, tab out, 5 minutes of chatting. 15 minutes back to the IDE, 5 minutes back to browsing. For a 8 hour day, that's 75% of the time working. Good right? NO.

Context switching is expensive. A large part of the 15 minutes of work in the IDE is resetting the frame of mind to work.

Now why do people context switch. Simple. Micro-management from project managers, team leaders, bosses ...

If I, as a team leader, look over at your screen and see you surfing the net for 1 full hour, I'll get pissed. But if you alt-tab a lot, there is a good chance when I'm spying over your shoulder, you're on the IDE. Good worker!

I hate it. Which is why when I had my own team, I told my guys, you want to surf, sure, spend as long as you want. But when you code, focus on the coding for a full X amount of time. So, I tell them, you want a break, surf for 30 minutes. But make sure you get full one and a half hours of coding done first. Plan what you need to do, tell the team what you aim to achieve, and do it.

I also find that when people don't need to pretend to work, and can rest in peace chatting, surfing, they tend to be less stress.

Another example, sleeping in the office is a big no-no. So what do people do? They run off to the stairs to sleep. Or to the toilet. Ridiculous. If my guy has been pulling all nighters, I think it is perfectly fine for him to rest his head on the desk for a while.
Is this a book you'd recommend for somebody wanting to learn compilers and parsers? I did my masters in computer science but focused on the machine learning, AI, and data mining side of things. I feel that I'm lacking a lot from never taking a compliers class and would like to make up for that with a good book. (I did study automata theory).
Before humans, all climate metrics were average with a standard deviation of 0.

Weather everywhere was the same year over year, since the beginning of time. There was literally no variation; no floods or famine. It was Eden.

Then humans took over. The original sin. Get with the program and you might be spared from the Apocalypse. Throw stones at anyone who disagrees.

At least I think that how the HCGW religion goes...
I learned Emacs because there was nothing that supported Common Lisp editing the way Emacs did.
I'm not a big fan of Dart but IMHO a "leaked" internal memo on replacing JavaScript and an implementation as a browser embeddable VM which isn't used even in Chrome don't make it as evil as ActiveX.
I've heard good things and I'm seriously starting to consider adding them to my diet, how do you prepare them?
> Watsi is being classy by not even naming the company
There is no doubt as to who a multi-billion dollar health insurance company who would take issue with a logo that is literally a blue cross with a triangle cut out of it. I didn't read their post as classy, but rather snarky. I don't have a problem with them calling out BCBS, but I don't think it is at all classy the way they did it. They may have avoided saying BCBS for legal reasons, but that doesn't make it classy.

I've found that static metaprogramming produces an odd middle-ground. The intermediate code can be wonderfully legible and this lets you quickly find bugs... but when it comes time to fix the bug you have to go into the original generating code and then you find an absolute horror.

In this case I'm referring to C# T4.
That's an opinion commonly held by people who think they are hot shit.

Either folks want this problem to be solved, or they don't.
I gave Live Picture roughly five months advance notice. My resignation letter pointed out the reasons I would be leaving, and that I would do so once I was assured that the product I was working on - also called Live Picture - was In The Can.

I didn't give Geonex Verde any notice. Although the verbal offer for my next position gave me plenty of time to give notice, there were some delays in getting a real written offer letter.

We had just bought some new printers. Back in the old days when I was but a pollywog, one had to write one's own printer drivers. I suggested to my boss that I do so, but he said there was a higher priority project that I should complete first.

However had I left without writing the printer driver, the company would have been quite screwed. So I wrote the driver in secret. My very last day at the company I presented the company president with some sample prints.

"Hey, these hardcopies look great!"

"Thanks. I have some bad news for you Scott..."

Consider as well that resigning in protest might really be the ethical thing to do. Don't just write a rant or a flame, but a well though out, lucidly composed letter - then email it to everyone else in the company. I've done that as well. But if you do this, be prepared to get fired on the spot.

You could then - maybe, hopefully - take comfort in your protest resignation saving the company.
> Not to mention that most off-the-shelf MITM proxies will intentionally not implement this

To add on to this: the certificate was generated from a Palo Alto Networks device.

https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/mozilla.dev.security...

If Palo Alto aren't willing to implement CT, which I'm pretty sure they aren't because they're a legitimate company whose business isn't driven by people who abuse globally-valid certificates, then (regardless of whether SCTs can be forged in theory) that alone would have prevented the attack.
