>Don’t even get me started on physical security keys

Well, I haven't seen a single person who wouldn't have one. We use them for cars and houses, though.

And credit/debit cards, I bet you have them too. It's a physical security key to the ATM. Classic 2FA spirit: something you have (the card) + something you know (PIN code).

The point is, people don't have problems with physical security keys. Programmers do (and hardware vendors) do, which means no standards and clunky UI.
The branding and aesthetic of this truck is so untesla it is alarming. Trucks are very expensive nowadays so this could be good market for them. Especially if people buy them for the novelty. As far as actual work is concerned I feel that this will be roughed up very badly in no time, and being a unibody of sorts will present some problems and expense to repair. It’s pretty much the opposite of what you would want from a pure work standpoint. Something that is built more like an overgrown UTV would be better for Real work.
Who buys a truck for this reason?
Wow that's the guy who doesn't know how to swing a hammer? I just assumed he was a random model. How embarrassing.
Not meant to be mainstream. It's meant to be f'ing tough and show how much of a beast the electric vehicle can be. Really takes the air out of being 'Built Ford Tough' Likely just following the Roadster play book. Get the toughness doubters out of the way, then a more traditional truck to follow.
Yeah, because that's what all the F150 buyers of the world really wanted, an angular flat-paneled ridiculous movie prop.

This thing alienates far more than it attracts in the pickup truck market.
Yeah, a lot of people talking about how ugly it is. But that's exactly what a pick-up has always been. A big ugly thing with a bed in the back and a lot of utility most people didn't even use.

Some models over the years have looked decent. Many have (Ford especially) have been dog ugly. I could see this thing taking off, though not sure how rural truck owners would take to electric.

Edit: On second thought, rural truck owners must go through a ton of gas. I bet they would love to own something like this.

Edit edit: I also love that this thing can take a beating on the exterior. You don't have to worry about scratches in the paint or dents from shopping cart accidents.
This demographic will love the look. Have you seen pickups lately? The Big 3 have been chasing an industrial aesthetic for years. This was a very bold move and I feel very strongly that this will shake up the market.

The specs are a truck lover's dream. Most pickups are driving office dudes like me to our office jobs every day. We hate the gas mileage but we love the look and we want something powerful enough to tow the boat or ATV hauler on the weekends. This truck claims it can do that AND beat a Porsche off the traffic light AND never have to visit a fuel pump again.
12:34:56 2007-08-09 would work equally, though. (EDIT: oops, no.)

This conjunction of an immense military establishment and a large arms industry is new in the American experience. The total influence -- economic, political, even spiritual -- is felt in every city, every State house, every office of the Federal government. We recognize the imperative need for this development. Yet we must not fail to comprehend its grave implications. Our toil, resources and livelihood are all involved; so is the very structure of our society.

In the councils of government, we must guard against the acquisition of unwarranted influence, whether sought or unsought, by the militaryindustrial complex. The potential for the disastrous rise of misplaced power exists and will persist.

We must never let the weight of this combination endanger our liberties or democratic processes. We should take nothing for granted. Only an alert and knowledgeable citizenry can compel the proper meshing of the huge industrial and military machinery of defense with our peaceful methods and goals, so that security and liberty may prosper together.

The difference here is that an all-nighter Thursday and then hackathon Friday will not be happening every week, or result in a 100 hour work week. These kids are literally doing 90+ hours every week for three months. A hackathon once in a while won't be near as detrimental as the hours this kid was working.
The cables themselves didn't express any American wrongdoing though. It expressed American opinions regarding other nations' governments and internal politics.

And either way I wouldn't be so quick to claim that inciting those revolutions is on the balance a positive thing for either Manning or Wikileaks, for the same reason that toppling Saddam's despotic regime was not (on the balance) a good thing.
No, I think you're right. RobotRollCall sets up a straw man with the Wile E Coyote example. Electric attraction travels at the speed of light, yet you would feel it right away after walking off a cliff.
read the starship troopers. it's a little entertaining little short story.

But it hit like a punch to face when you finally grasp how the mind of a kid gets turned around in the army. In the end, even you are being proud of his dumb and blind service to the war effort.
If you want to prove that fewer women than men become programmers because of obstacles, it's not enough to point out the obstacles faced by women, you also need to argue that the obstacles faced by men are less severe. I think you'll have a hard time arguing that, considering how nerdy guys are treated in school by both girls and other guys. Girls who go into programming don't take such a big hit in attractiveness.
Please don't do this here.

We detached this subthread from https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11919106 and marked it off-topic.
Some cultures are more self-deprecating than others, which has some benefits, and some draw-backs. A lot of people would say that this kind of 'Law of Jante' attitude is a big reason why Scandinavian countries do so well in many measures of progress.

Are you really implying that this kind of attitude represents a violence or trauma to the child? Someone of the opposite belief might well say the same about highly individualized cultures. To take such a strong position, I would say, ironically given the subject of discussion, represents a kind of cultural chauvinism.
What makes you say this? Do we know exactly what they've done?
The story meshes perfectly with my experience of reality.

For example, people who appear to be extremely wealthy are much less likely to be generous tippers, because most people with garish appearances are actually middle-class folk who are up to their ears in debt accrued while accumulating the trappings of their specious wealth.

The people who actually have money to spare are the ones who live within their means, whether that's tens of thousands of dollars per year, or tens of millions.

Similarly, people who seem like they have all the time in the world are actually less likely to be good samaritans, because they're caught up in the high-speed goal-oriented mental framework where every minute has a Scheduled Purpose That Must Be Fulfilled.

The people who actually have time to spare are the ones who do not over-commit themselves, and are "disconnected" in just the right ways. I don't mean disconnected technologically, because it's entirely possible to take a liesurely stroll while tinkering with a smartphone. I mean "disconnected" in the sense that they are not plugged into the country-wide network of social obligations and expectations that most of us accept without even realizing there is an alternative.

Also, from a more concrete standpoint, please consider the context in which your disbelief is thriving. This is a world where people lie to friends, business partners and loved ones for decades at a time to accumulate fraudulent wealth; where inexorable neuroses drive people to become serial rapists; where devoted hobbyists spend weeks and months of their lives to do things like catalog every instance of the "Wilhelm scream" in the history of cinema, or document the pop culture references in every episode of the Simpsons; where some privileged people are so affluent that they can spend more on a single meal than an entire family of third-world country residents spend in an entire year of living expenses. In this world, men can survive in the vacuum of outerspace, where there is literally nothing. Men can survive in the depths of the ocean, where the exponential weight of the ocean creates enough pressure to crush steel.

We live in a world of absurd extremes, pernicious and healthy. Viewed through this lens, is the OP story really so unbelievable? If Buddhist monks can forgive oppressors who murdered their friends and loved ones, is it really that improbable that some worldly Mexicans stopped to help a down-on-his-luck white guy because they had a jack and tire iron in the van?

Really?
+1 for the touche! Thanks for your keen eye for exposing made up comments in a funny way.

I talked to people at Google, just developers not themanager of Chrome or anything, so I cannot be sure what they are thinking. People I talked had the same feeling, though.
I agree about the website. It is beautiful but very dark and mildly depressing.
It's good for a basic reference when you don't want to wade through the W3C spec. It's not good for learning.
Woot! That Revenge of the Titans looks fun.
You're not wrong. But a 128 bit salt on SHA1 would do zilch to slow down an attacker. You see my point. I see yours.
No kidding.

Searched for: "ny chiropractor". First page results: all NYC chiropractors. Seems like accurate, relevant results to me. Meanwhile, the first 4 Bing results are: a college, an association, an actual NYC chiropractor, and a Wikipedia page about the college.

I find the high-rank-due-to-emphasis-on-online-presence theory far more likely, actually. Especially as they seem to be targeting Google SEO.
Well, the bayesian filter is done by per user (if you sign up). The front page would be the aggregation of all the users.

The category stuff sounds cool. I'd like to add text classification to this at some point.
Most likely the Model S already has many of the battery advancements that are now coming to the Roadster.
> He wrote in his post that he does it for his benefit

He benefits from the software existing. He benefits from deriving a paper or two from running the platform. Neither has to do with it being open source.

The open source aspect benefits users only.

> The choice of software license doesn't give you a right to be a jerk.

It doesn't give anybody the right to contact the author, either.

Since "jerk" in this context means "not responding to sincere communication": if you send a sincere email to the CEO of IBM because you have proposals on how to improve SPSS (a tool that, as economist and professor, you're certainly familiar with), do you expect a substantial answer that isn't driven by the CEO's extensive staff and PR department?

Give that man a secretary and PR department and I'm sure he'll answer all communication.
I think the threat model is a buggy kernel - or a kernel insuffiently hardened against buggy processors with speculative execution side channels - with a malicious process.

E.g. if syscall S reads kernel memory without properly checking pointers/offsets (maybe GCC optimized them out), then process A can possibly use that to steal process B's secrets. Or maybe the kernel does check the pointers/offsets, but isn't hardened against yet another speculative execution side channel attack your processor is vulnerable to, so leaks some information via timing information.

MAP_EXCLUSIVE breaks that exploit, and to unbreak it you need both syscall S and another buggy syscall (or maybe another row hammer attack) - to write kernel memory - and to successfully leverage that into tricking the kernel into remapping process B's pages.

No panacea, but I could see it rasing the bar in exploit difficulty as part of a defense in depth strategy.
I'm talking about something akin to onion addresses:

Well, this exact problem is why I won’t be buying an nvidia GPU the next time around. I’ll hang on to my 1080 Ti until AMD has something faster.
The JIT compiler is written in C.

Its output is assembly code.

That assembly code can outperform code written in C, because it has access to dynamic run time information that your C compiler does not.
I guess it's a protection against kernel memory disclosure bugs.
> Yet only 10% of the earth is arable. 90% of the earth is untouched in that way.

I don’t know the numbers but my guess that 90% is mostly unsuitable to insects in the first place. Also the problem is that in a lot of western countries the countryside that could host insects is mostly agricultural land. Try looking at the number of wild flowers you see in the country (spoiler: it’s depressing, because wild prairies are becoming very rare).
That's all of FAANGM. Their last year looked pretty good.
Those countries are nothing close to socialist
Hi Emily! Thanks for your reply. I’m sorry to hear of your being the victim of harassment and I appreciate your post here clarifying the circumstances.

Thank you for your contributions to open source software. Many web users, myself included, rely on free and open source projects for our work and recreation and these products would not exist without the generous contributions of kind and skilled persons such as yourself.

I hope you recover from your burnout and find a fulfilling role somewhere that respects your mental health and values your contributions.

I'm an expert Python, JavaScript and Swift developer with 12 years of experience. I also have a strong systems administration background.

My Github profile is https://github.com/msamoylov and my blog is https://samoylov.tech

This is also a very simple form of using the idea of a "prefix-free code" from information theory and coding. (the codes {0,10,110,1110,11110,...,111111} is a prefix-free set).

I think there's also the idea that the code can "sync up" when it say, starts in the middle of a character.
I don't think a piece on gnu.org qualifies as "plenty of writing" and for sure doesn't count as basis for what you are entitled for :).

The employer holds a myriad of cards to deal with unproductive people. At will employment means they can lose that will at any sign of unproductive work. Outside of tech, and IMO, its much harder to replace a job than it is to replace an employee, so the scales are tipped in the employer's favor.
If you don't have time for your obsessive interest, then it's not really obsessive after all. A maximally obsessive person would have neglected distractions from his obsession.

This is very well written and the code looks very clean!

It's a bit verbose, but mostly because he makes everything parametrized so you can easily customize it for different targets.

There are only two things I don't like: he is calling some registers latches and he is mixing std_logic_vector and unsigned in the interface.
Healthy ecosystem exists even in rather small cities. Up here in Vilnius, Lithuania, small-sized backwater EU city, we've quite a few meetups with a decent amount of networking opportunities. Sure it's not as SV scale. But even < 1million metro area can sustain that.
Is it acceptable for anyone to be able to just walk into a store and hijack your phone number? Guess it’s just your fault your grandma now gets to talk to a crook when she calls you.
Yes, obviously IMO. Surprised I haven’t seen it mentioned here yet but the chief reason plagiarism is wrong in my view is that it’s typically employed in situations in which the finished work is used to “certify” the ability to prepare the finished work. By “stealing” that finished work, the plagiarizer is granted credentials that they don’t deserve, thereby rotting their given institution from within by being granted prestige without the expected concomitant skill to match. It’s institutional poison IMO
Why? Just block ranges.
I'm certainly not alone in going down that route! Sometimes it can be rewarding though, as you do get something you understand and which suits you completely.

I wrote a (perl-based) blog-compiler for my own site https://blog.steve.fi/ and recently rewrote it in golang to get the advantage of easier installation and faster generation.

Generating a thousand blog posts, over five+ years, shouldn't take more than a second. My Perl code used to take 30 seconds to rebuild and upload my site (via rsync) complete with comments, tags, etc. But the new rewrite takes 3 seconds to do the same job. So it was a good rewrite even if I'm not even going to pretend it is a general purpose utility any more.
I can't speak for melling but as for me, that attitude struck me as dismissive not only of the capacity of the average developer to understand fp, but a bit of fp itself as too hard. 11 years later, fp concepts are more generally understood, accepted, and used; and the attitude has shown to be incorrect. fp is not that hard. It is, in fact, easier than OO
There used to be an electricity tariff in the UK called Economy7 which was a simplistic version of this. Valid during night hours, you could, eg, recharge storage heaters with it, for release during the day.

Not sure if it is still available.

Edit: it is, but requires special meters at the premises.
I have explained to my daughters programming is basically a tool-belt that helps one build something they want.. like how paint brushes are simply tools to help create a painting.

For example, I was showing my 7 year old daughter the other night how she could automate her Roblox character with a simple AppleScript in order to move it every so often so that it could gain points while avoiding timeout from being idle, all while she could go and do other things around home. She smiled pretty big.

In short, IME showing how programming helps achieve an outcome has worked best. A general interest may compliment.

The neat thing about Dropbox is that your files get automagically mirrored to all your computers with Dropbox installed. So unless the client blows up too, odds are good that a data loss incident on their servers wouldn't be catastrophic.

This isn't an enterprisey backup solution by any means, as I don't believe previous versions are stored locally. But it's a whole lot of really convenient redundancy.
You mean "the kind of web app" or "the kind of desktop app"? Native desktop apps are usually very tedious to develop, even with high-level tools like Visual Basic. Even for simple CRUD apps, the amount of layouting you need to do, input validation etc; all of those rote tasks are much more automated in web frameworks than they ever were in desktop development tools. The kind of things you can do with a few lines of jQuery in terms of UI manipulation are miles beyond what was even reasonably possible (meaning, wouldn't take weeks of work) in desktop applications.
What you describe is doing everything you can in order to try to avoid a situation in which you might be required to flex your rights.

Superhero action/adventure movies are solid gold right now because they not only do well in the US but internationally as well, which has become as big or bigger of a market as the US. Overall, averaging out the Marvel superhero movies made over the last decade the franchise has pulled in around a billion in revenue per year. It's practically an industry unto itself at this point.
I don't think that's very true -- franchises that have been wildly successful under one creative team can be less successful under a new team, and vice versa. Sure, as with any brand, a franchise has some (positive or negative) value attached to it, but its absolutely not the case that "you can buy a franchise and make something that people will want to watch, no matter who is being commissioned to make it".

Even with franchise films, there is often a lot of marketing around producers, directors, and cast -- because who is making the work is still important to whether people want to watch it, and which people want to watch it.

I've seen people bring this up a few years ago, but there wasn't much change in attitude on rms' end. I don't keep up on the day-to-day of gcc, so perhaps things changed in the last few years(?) I would be surprised if this would happen under rms' tenure though.
