GlobalSign is looking for Jr & Sr Software Developers located in Boston, MA - Portsmouth, NH - or Maidstone, UK

GlobalSign (www.globalsign.com) - one of the Internet’s original Certificate Authorities. Over the years we have issued millions of trusted Digital Certificates to people, servers and mobile devices for Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) enabled solutions and applications. Our identity and access management portfolio includes access control, single sign-on (SSO), federation and delegation services to help organizations and service providers create new business models for customer and partner interactions.

We operate in small teams - tightly integrated with product management. In these roles, you'll be working to build out new products and services to expand our PKI services portfolio. We're looking for individuals with solid fundamentals - exposure to lower level coding like C/C++ is important - but also looking for those who have skills to build scalable systems in higher level languages. Interest / experience in internet security is a huge plus as well.

For more info, please see the postings here (note, the posting only mentions Portsmouth, but we're looking for roles in Boston and Maidstone as well):

Yes, you are right that is how class is traditionally defined. However that doesn't match what is often observed in the dialogue on WSB and other places that are trying to engage in class warfare against the rich. The focus is usually on greed that helped the rich accumulate wealth, motivates them to want to hold on to that wealth, and how the less wealthy people's desire for a piece of that wealth is somehow more noble.
Yes, so people would use Insta. Then it gets bought by Facebook. Then WhatsApp, also bought by Facebook. Etc. Everywhere you run, Facebook and friends is waiting with a warm, privacy suffocating hug.

What the hell is the FTC and DOJ doing allowing these obvious anti-competitive mergers and acquisitions? How is Amazon able to sell physical and digital products, control distribution channels, and sell significant infrastructure? I am no monopoly expert, but in my opinion, AWS is a significant competitive issue. Did we learn nothing from US Steel and Standard Oil? Has the Clayton Act been ignored? It seems like the Sherman Act matters as well: companies all agreeing, within hours, to ban certain apps or content. That’s not competition.
If the contractor doesn't pay the subcontractor, you as the homeowner are liable.
Ok done :)
Dark actually started with a directed graph concept. It worked pretty nicely, but users (developers) hated it. We tried to get them to write a simple fizzbuzz, and it was very challenging, and ultimately we abandoned it.
Thank you very much. I didn't know this. I'll spread it.
I knew I recognised the name KRAZAM from somewhere These guys are hilarious.
My point was that lawyers and programmers both abstract, but in different ways. I feel like gates, as an engineer, is likely to view political frameworks and other philosophical aspects of the global system as second order to economic, demographic and military realities. Money talks, bullshit walks is the mindset I ascribe to gates. I don’t think gates would be influenced much by the ideas of Rene girard, compared to thiel who has a worldview based or at least heavily influenced by girardian principles.
Because "most" is not "all" and people die from complications of colds, too.

I've never been diagnosed with a flu in my life but I've had COVID twice. The first time, I was pulling strings of bloody mucus out of my throat and couldn't lay on my back and sleep for a week. The second time I lost my sense of taste and smell and it also wrecked my energy levels. I'm still not where I was before Dec 23 with regards to energy or tasting / smelling. It's not fun and nobody's invulnerable.
I would love to know why using "smart" quotes is inherently better than "dumb" quotes. The OP site doesn't say why. The site it linked to doesn't say why. So... why?
Cheers (that's why I love this place).

At the moment I use Authlogic in Rails, which uses SHA512 by default (SHA512 is built into the Ruby core libs).

But I also notice that it's quite easy to switch to bcrypt (using the bcrypt gem).

Is it worth switching? Or at least using that as my default on new apps?
Yes, currently the UK is vaccinating at rates of up to 600,000 per day. That's about 3x the top daily rate of, say, France.
To give some balance. Just as I got my second jab and waiting the 10min needed for surveillance. (Tel Aviv, Israel)

> Israel feels like the only nation taking the importance and urgency of vaccination seriously.

It's a mixed situation here.

* Israel supposedly paid 3 times more than others per shot (but if it works, it's cheaper than the economy losses).

* Israel has free public health care.

* All public health care databases are connected.

* Pfizer gets very detailed annoymized dataset.

* centralization means the health care also hospitalization covered by health care and connected to database.

* Israel is a small country. I can easily cover it by 7hrs drive bottom top.

All those helped get enough jabs.

Yet,
There's enough population that don't social distance / comply to basics such as wearing a mask (even indoor!). Some population even did huge events during lockdowns with zero enforcement.

Hope this gives some proportion.
from what I understand, they have the same controller that was being used in the centrifuges on their desk to develop the payload the rest was just a way to get to the controllers of the centrifuge which was rather standard.
Most developed countries seem to be able to deploy close to 100% of the vaccines provided so far, modulo whatever strategy they have chosen regarding keeping some amount of second doses in storage. So that doesn't seem to be bottleneck.

Israel simply paid more and bought a larger amount of vaccines delivered earlier. Which is smart but it's not a strategy that all countries can replicate, not because we cannot afford it but simply because there is a bottleneck in production. There is not enough vaccines for all no matter how much we pay, so we would end up competing in price for no real speed up.
diskusjon.no still seems fairly active. Though anytime I search for something non-tech-related in Norwegian ("us taxes norway", "car brake trombone", "kid face blue", "beach meteorite"), I typically get one of the forums Kvinneguiden.no ("the women's guide"), BarniMagen.no ("child in tummy") or MammaNett (… you get the drift). So there's a part of the Norwegian Internet that strangely hasn't been swallowed up by the FRAANG.
This is an excellent question.
Tilable interface, requires days to set it up, tweet with i "Hello World!" <ESC> t, native vim keymap support, and hard to quit.
Wow, it is SO weird to see the name "saurik" replying to my comment.

I remember in middle school jailbreaking my iPod touch to install all kinds of cool tweaks from Cydia, and I'm sure that exposure led me to continue messing around with electronics.

Thank you for all you did for the community, I attribute a lot of my interest in computers and coding to the early jailbreak days.
Man, are you bad at math. The urban areas account for over half of the population.
In addition to this very good point, I'd also add that consistent, even, quality moderation of platforms with as many users as Twitter is not possible.

Even trying to do moderation at that scale just results in thousands and thousands of workers with psychological issues, from how damaging the work is.
> "burning Turmeric powder and inhaling it would prevent COVID"

This kind of bullshit is too prevalent around here, sadly. And telling that ayurveda is pseudoscience instantly makes you "anti-national" and what not.
While Mastodon and Diaspora may be distinctly bad names, perhaps you don't need a great name either. Take Facebook, for example.

Even with Twitter, I think there are probably thousands of words that would sound as natural as "tweet" if people were constantly saying it (and shouldn't it be "twit" anyway?).
TOR Hidden Service?

Why does he sell it so cheap? Couldn't he easily charge 5$ or more?
> Gruber's assertion that it's intrinsically better doesn't have a lot of weight to it.

I didn't read it as his specifying one that's intrinsically better than the other, but as which platform will succeed in the long run because it has more compelling software, i.e., Rage HD will sell more iOS devices than task managers will sell Android.
That is also not surprisingly best practice, according to the Tor documentation.

You shouldn't trust it completely since there are always escapes from virtual environments but there's no reason not to.
Densification definitely isn't going to hurt many people's property values in the long term. Your 5000sqft lot could now be sold to someone who's going to build 10 units on it? That's still gonna be worth a lot of money.

That one's just a matter of messaging. I think you have bigger hurdles around:

* people want to have the same type of housing as they do today, or the opportunity to buy one of those less-dense single family homes in the future. If it's expensive, they can save up - or at least dream about it. If it's replaced with apartments, the option is gone entirely. However, there's lots of low-density commercial and industrial that can be upzoned instead! But if you're demonizing the suburbs and the single-family homes, instead of the single-use strip mall, you're asking for a lot more political opposition.

* and the biggest one to me: it takes SO LONG to build projects. You need streamlined plan approval, more labor availability, and a lot of money to do things in parallel instead of sequentially. Doing things in parallel also helps with some of the short-term property value hits you might otherwise get from a slowly-changing area.

But the only way you stop the land value appreciation is if people move out of the cities and the demand evaporates. And that's more likely if homelessness continues to increase than if you start doing something about the bottom of the housing market. Otherwise, a more populous city doesn't have lower land prices - look at Manhattan, SF, LA vs the rural US.
Rebase doesn't work that way, though [0]. It first extracts the 3 versions (2 leafs and their common ancestor) and then does a diff & patch.

This allows git to store the deltas between versions in the most efficient way on disk, while also letting it use contextual diffs to minimize the chance of spurious merge conflicts. Patching algorithms have various heuristics that make sense for programming languages, like special treatment for lines with only changes in whitespace.

(Edited to add:) also, minimal diff algorithms have to do a lot of work to detect large blocks of text being moved around. This is part of what made Subversion, which used the same diff algorithm for storage compression and merging, painfully slow.

I think it's hilarious that you're using the suffering of black people to give weight to your fears about what's happening the sort of people who are in fact fond of or indifferent to the suffering of black people.

Back here in reality, a poster child for "politically unpopular people being banned" was Milo Yiannopoulous, who was banned for leading a wave of anti-black abuse: https://www.vox.com/2016/7/20/12226070/milo-yiannopoulus-twi...

One could argue that Milo is the one who started the shift we've seen over the last 5 years in social media moderation decisions. He still has a platform, of course. There are approximately infinite platforms, and some of them are happy enough to host open racists. So we aren't at the "100 baby landlords decided to ban" stage yet. As you say, he's just been booted off the popular platforms. Because it turns out a lot of people are no longer interested in supporting open racists.

And it seems like that's where things will stay: Users and companies have unimpinged freedom of association. Racists, etc, have the freedom to build sites that support racists, which are mostly ignored by everybody else. This seems like a fine outcome to me. If it doesn't to you, maybe think about why.
The whole world runs on industrial scale chemicals. Virtually everything in our modern society relies on them. They are base inputs to almost every chain of goods from foodstuffs to textiles to manufactured items of every sort. Even your vinegar example is primarily produced as an industrial scale chemical.
As somebody who writes and codes, I am certainly not typically in a good mood for the entirety of my problem-focused period. Somebody could say that I "hate coding but love having coded", but it's actually very different from the other states we would describe this way. For instance, I code for fun in my free time, instead of only coding for money and prestige, and so I'm getting some kind of intrinsic enjoyment out of it -- even if it's simply the catharsis of solving a difficult problem. I feel almost exactly the same way about writing (although I find writing a lot easier than coding most of the time).

There are a lot of writers (mostly young naifs and beginners) who have fallen in love with the romantic ideal of the tortured artist, and have the completely unrealistic expectation that if they suffer for their art they will inevitably be rewarded with prestige. It's a common, and toxic, mentality. Failing to distinguish the teeth-grinding dubious pleasure of working at the edge of your ability (something familiar not just to programmers and writers but to athletes, gamers, and craftspeople) from egocentric paranoia is problematic, because it risks supporting the former tendency instead of the latter.

This is not to say that writing can't be difficult, but writing is also something that almost definitely does not pay enough to justify doing it despite genuinely hating it! I think if you describe writing as your "passion", then you're coming to it from the right perspective -- plus, you're a skilled enough writer that it's clear you put the work in long before it became profitable. As they say in the Dwarf Fortress community, "failing is fun".

Folks who hate writing but love "being a Writer" -- the crowd who post bookstagram shots of their color-coded shelves -- are not setting themselves up for a fun time on the other hand. You've gotta have a little bit of masochism to survive in any 'creative' job, but if you're spending all day doing something you genuinely hate, only extrinsic rewards like money and the warm embrace of your fans are keeping you afloat. Extrinsic rewards are mercurial.

Of course, I've got a pretty casual perspective on writing. I do some freelance when it interests me, but most of my writing is done for communication first with profit a very minor concern. But my day job is my other passion. The nature of day jobs is that you're required to do a lot of stuff that's boring, stupid, and offensive to your sensibilities. If coding was not a passion, I would have burnt out far harder far sooner.

You’re stating a conclusion here, but you’re skipping the argument. People who disagree with you have perfectly valid concerns. Your conclusion might be correct (for the sake of argument) but you provided 0 support for your conclusion. So I think your comment is content-free, or at the very least contributes 0 to the conversation.
Just released a new project that makes it really quick to stand up analytics dashboards and reports in your SaaS app. We took extra care to make authentication simple and optimized everything for an embedded experience.
It probably shares the secure element (hardware).

But that doesn't mean that the new Yubikeys (Series 5) are not affected. Just that they are not know to be affected.

I hope Yubico will make a follow up post about weather or not other Yubikeys are affected too.

But then given what is needed to use this exploit, it probably doesn't matter for many people.
That page count and breadth of topics are repelling. Is there something original or exceptionally interesting in there?

True. I guess I assumed incorrectly that the original design of ESNI would not require DNS be in the flow for the validation, meaning that if I had local DNS, or /etc/hosts entries, then nobody would see the name. But if special record types are required, then /etc/hosts or local DNS won't suffice. Just my opinion, but it feels like this was made unnecessarily complicated. Feels like some concepts from SSH (host keys, caching host keys) and web servers (default _server_ name) could have been used for this, since I don't really need to validate who I am talking to for passing the name.

This is evidence of fraud. You're asserting without any evidence (as I predicted) that these are isolated incidents. Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence.

We may never know the exact amount of fraud that occurred because the left, mass media, and establishment Republicans are intent on forging ahead with the so-called President-elect without conducting a robust investigation of the claims. At this point, it looks like the theft could be successful.
Novelty accounts? In my Hacker News?

RiderOfGiraffes, is that you? If not, I suggest that you do the same as he; pointing people to the stories that have tons of comments on them. In this case, none really do yet, so maybe a note about that?

This is making the assumption that emotional well-being is the goal of morality, or that even global immediate utilitarianism is preferable to long-term utilitarian values.

Neither of these assumptions appear to be true, at least to me. It may be better for society to have the individual lead a life in which they find no emotional value. Or it may be better for the species to have an entire society live a miserable life. The idea that immediate individual emotional well-being is a metric for morality is dubious at best.

That's not saying that science can't offer something of value: I'm sure it can. It's just that many times scientists in various fields have a tendency to overstate the implications of their research.
Out of curiosity I spent a bit looking around this site and reading about it. What I found were half-truths, inconsistencies (at least one), broken links, somebody calls it a scam, somebody else calls it legit... very weird, I wouldn't buy into it.
Well, quite seriously, if it was so, then why I see just some very large photo of a very dull and ugly regional town somewhere?

I did the same SSD and HDD to OptiBay replacement, but I have different results. The battery life dropped about 30%-40% and that wasn't the issue. The real problem is the heat, as usual on Mac, Flash is CPU raper, but with HDD in place of DVD drive its 6200/RPMS in any flash video > 360P.
Your 3G plan, in your country. Please don't be so quick to dismiss movements that could help other people but not you.

Here, a 3G plan with 1 gigabyte cap costs 90 bucks per month. The 8 GB plan is almost half the minimum wage. I would kill to have open wifi everywhere.
Can't you self-register and publish whatever you want via Kindle and iBooks?

These days I really prefer to pay a service or an app, hopefully to give it some sustainable fuel, rather than invest in a free tool that doesn't allow the author to pay its bills.
I like the old school JS in the source, no jquery needed.
Perhaps the free app might've converted better if Marco had added an in-app purchase to upgrade to the full version.
I assume that deep learning will help with coming up with suitable replies. But will it also helping with keeping track of state, ie. making sure that the computer's answers are consistent? It seems to me that this will be the hardest part about passing the Turing test.
Seems like a reasonable strategy to me, but probably very infeasible for an attack already in progress if this tactic weren't planned and ready to go in advance. It would be something I'd investigate post-attack however to see if it's a viable strategy for mitigating future attacks.
What about inserting invisible iframe to affected sites? I think it can not be prevented.

nginx already scales by spawning multiple processes. The worker processes share the listening file descriptors from the parent master process which allows the workers to accept connections on the listening fds.
Perhaps. But just look at the Petzval lens that just got funded on kickstarter. They will make it for Nikon and Canon. At least initially. Imagine the extra risk and extra cost of researching, designing, manufacturing, stocking and selling that lens for half a dozen different camera systems.

If you were making a lens, would you prefer to make one or two versions or 6-7 versions?
Same issue -- since shader-based ES 2.x (and now 3.x) hit the scene, the fixed-function ES 1.x may well be considered deprecated. Sure there's still plenty of 1.x-only devices floating around. But ultimately it's a thing of the past.
"Almost half of all jobs are filled through referrals by existing employees, so if you're cold applying to a company you're at best, cutting your chances in half and wasting your time."

I am sorry, what? Have you got any particular data you would like to back this up with? Why would a company have even a job ad if they are hiring someone through referrals?

"You're also forgoing important information _for you_ if you don't know anyone at the company you're applying to. How do you really know what it's like to work there?"

Uhm, what again? Are you saying that you cannot apply to a workplace where you don't know anyone? Well, looks like I have been getting jobs wrong all my life! Are you for real?

At least your last paragraph is ok.
Yeah I get it.

But like it’s fine for Flyertalk.com to be about frequent flier programs, and for Woodweb.com to stick to discussions of router bits and edge banding.

It seems to me that the reason people are applying some kind of double standard to Tik Tok is because it’s Chinese. But like it’s fine to make an app for kids to share only positive light hearted videos and keep it focused on that.

But of course the more interesting question being raised here is if the other model —- the extremely moderated some kinds of “free speech” but not others Facebook model — is in fact better.

That’s not clear at all.
my DDG results for "dig show all" are much better than yours. try changing the "France" region to "All Regions" in the dropdown below the query.
You don't need to do this for regional flights.

Not every airport in the US has customs, if you arrive at an international airport you need to go through customs and then travel anywhere else.

The US has agreements with specific airports in some countries like Canada to allow them to skip that step by going through US customs in another country.
