The issue is, how can a programmed contract control whether the transfer of fiat money occurred? You'd need some kind of unforgeable proof of transfer or trusted public record.

Title = No view. It's not "Obama's" website. It's the Federal Government's website. Or the Dept of Health's Website or, etc, etc, etc.

Using Obama for link bait means your article gets no reads from me.

> Why would consumers worry about whether there is a single point of failure in the Bitcoin economy?

Consumers will worry when it becomes either illegal or prohibitively expensive to operate centralized Bitcoin exchanges, which is the likely outcome. That will quickly lead to a oligopoly of 2-3 exchanges dominating the market, just like every heavily-regulated market where it's too expensive for small shops to compete legally. Then you'll have a Paypal type experience where money/BTC is constantly withheld and all transactions are under surveillance. Defeating many of the benefits of Bitcoin (privacy and fluidity).

> What they do worry is whether they will be able to take their money out when they want it

Consumers don't need to worry about taking money out of decentralized exchanges. Since exchanges don't hold their money. That's the whole point:

a) Disconnecting the massive BTC wallets storage on exchange servers, instead they are strictly for facilitating transactions (escrow is built into the BTC protocol)

b) P2P distributed hosting of exchange servers so operating "trustless" exchanges can't become outlawed
The big problem with XHTML2 was that it was designed by people who hated HTML. So they went and made it purposefully incompatible with HTML and XHTML1 in various ways (e.g. tags with the same localName and in the same namespace were supposed to have different behavior).

That made it impossible for a browser to implement both XHTML2 and XHTML1 at once (which was in fact the goal of some of the committee members). And then browsers were faced with the choice of implementing XHTML2 (no content at all out there) or XHTML1+HTML (lots of content out there) but not both, they picked the one you'd expect them to pick...
Wouldn't having a reasonable schema specification specification solve this? Its not like you can invent arbitrary tags (there are arbitrary attributes, but an expressive enough schema language could capture that as well).
The retailer doesn't. The vendor (who chooses what to pre-install) does.
It's not clear from that page, but Gophercon "is the inaugural event for an annual conference devoted exclusively to the Go programming language."

EDIT: The page is now more descriptive :).
I guess I don't appreciate being told a story with lots of extraneous details (you don't need to list all pie types. Or describe how you imagine Euler at work) to get a historical explanation. I like my points salient.
Internal product churn and massive refactoring is bad. Make the UI themeable and keep the core mostly the same. However there is drive to converge the iOS and OSX APIs to where there may only be one platform.
The neutron isn't really a particle at all, but a seething mass of quarks and gluons crawling over one another, some trying desperately to get free and the others even more vigorously clawing them back, with fur (color-charge) and blood (fractional electrostatic charge) flying.
> this article is still garbage and shouldn't be on here

The article seemed very well researched and straightforward to me, given my previous understanding of both Axie and the hack.

Maybe you could explain what’s wrong?
It's called UberEats
Reminds me of Javascript, but with better performance and without some of the Javascript oddities.
we're at a 40/40/20 macro split C/F/P for our V1, a low carb version might happen in the future.
This news makes me feel so safe and protected from terrorists.
That's like saying: "flying is easy, just generate more lift than the airplane weighs - the rest is just noise." No shit, but life isn't so simple. At least for me, controlling weight (now that I'm pushing 30) has been about appetite management, and I've found that keto helps a lot. Not because it changes anything magic about the calorie balance, but because to me 500 calories of steak feels like a meal but 500 calories of pasta feels like a snack.
I use most code from OS projects and I've always preferred good use examples. I see a lot of overly simple use examples which really give no direction for a new user(Apple ios examples). Any format works but list all the methods of a class. And list what arguments they accept and the acceptable types of each. And finally list what is returned.

I document my code as a business logic statement. Eg given credit card, process payment. I then write the validations in a way that reads simple and thus is documentation. If it's a complex line that takes more that a few seconds to parse mentally. I will write out what it does. That's pretty rare. Non programmers never see my code so that works just fine.
No. The computer cannot magically detect the preferences of an actual user. This is a kind of "90% solution" that excludes people whose locale setting doesn't match their preferences, which is arguably quite common. Reasons include buying your OS/computer from abroad, or one that was imported and resold, getting a work machine set up for a different country, not knowing how to fix locale up yourself, traveling (localizing websites based on user's location is idiotic, but it keeps happening)....

What developers also suck at, in practice, is data-typing their output properly. If I see 5/2/11 on a US site while using my work laptop, I can't be sure whether it's the US notation written by the author, or date localized by my browser for UK format, which has the day and month reversed. I can't tell if the date is localized or not, or how it was generated.

Just say no to all that complexity, and use ISO 8601 everywhere. My controversial view here is: in this industry, we're still in a privileged position to force the entire world to standardize on the important things, like dates and times. So let's do so, and get everyone on board with an international standard, instead of just unwittingly pushing the USA defaults. We are pushing things, that comes with "software eating the world". So let's push things that make sense.
> Wondering why there is no light-YAML or just JSON without comma and braces sort of language available?

Well, JSON without commas or braces would be restricted to single literal values. (Or, I guess, single-element lists, but what would the point of that be?)
Actually a ssh key-rotation could be scripted in a cron-job and be completely transparent to the user...

Every X days generate a new RSA key pair, connect to all the hosts and replace the public key matching the previous one in the ~/.ssh/authorized_keys

Is there any issue with this solution?
You can change the display format, but I really wish M/D/Y wasn't the default - it's just too ambiguous.
"Writing control flow in a config file is like hammering in a screw."

Sometimes a screw is the correct or perhaps only fastener for a job and a hammer is the only screwdriver available or the only screwdriver capable of driving the screw. I've done it.
The purpose is to render your page the "old way" but having the dom updated like an SPA.

It works for certain things and not for others. So, it's not "the future of web software" like the title says, it's one additional possibility for when it makes sense.
It's a neat coincidence that this is on at the same time as an article about CP/M, because I think there could be some overlap in the programs that would be a good fit for cosmopolitan.

Sure, there's server appliances like this, and I hope someone makes a neat services wrapper to abstract at least some platform's intricacies so you can do a "cosmo-service up redbean" on BSD/Linux/Windows.

But coming back to CP/M, there you had a lowest common denominator of terminal applications, too, but spread across different architectures. And you could still produce some quite intersting, if a bit business-like applications. These days you probably can even rely on more ANSI colors and maybe even unicode fonts (hopefull as an option, not mandatory).

The ZIP characteristics of the APE format make it even easier to distribute a whole application in a rather simple way. Yes, sure, you can do regular Unix-style servers and pipe-it-together CLI tools, but I wouldn't mind more self-contained "business" applications with a lo-fi aesthetic regarding interface and API usage. The PICO-8 of TUIs…
Without royalties, what is the incentive for these companies to be part of the pool? Especially those already in the h.264 pool. I don't think I understand why this worked.
This reminds me of an old essay called "What We Look for in Founders"[1]:

Startups do to the relationship between the founders what a dog does to a sock: if it can be pulled apart, it will be.

Hope that in your next enterprise you will have more luck.

I suspect he meant OpenGL. 3DS has a PICA200, supporting OpenGL ES 1.1 (which is a bit old-fashioned but workable).
I included a bunch of examples of companies that do this really well in the post. Including Ginzametrics (YC Company)
Sit him down and say "sorry, but it's not working out. No hard feelings, I wish you the best of luck, but this isn't the right project for you."

You did the right thing by vesting options, and it seems clear that there is no fit for him. So, the outcome is inevitable, you owe him nothing but politeness, the rest is just timing.
Would it be possible to make readonly url from the baseurl manually also, instead of server generating it.

eg., http://codr.cc/s/xyz/ as read only url for http://codr.cc/xyz/ base url, instead of waiting for server to spew out http://codr.cc/s/abc/ as read only url.
Sorry if there was any confusion. I was wondering just in a general sense. I did not mean to imply anything about the moderation of OpenTeams.
Journalists and their corporate bosses are having a moral panic attack about "tech" because BigTech directly competes with them for ad dollars and mass-market influence.

This is nothing more than that -- through that lens, you can understand and predict all that mainstream "journalists" will advocate and push for with regards to tech.

Edit -- the larger panic that is afflicting "journalists" is that BigTech enables the masses to finally speak out. The pushback is against this actual cacophony of voices and opinions, finally set free from the old-school guardians of thought and society.
Truly sad they must live in this area.

Which self-hosted contact and calendar server do you guys that also works with Google's seamlessly?
40 hours a week is full time. 70 hours a week is suicidal.
Yes I heard the same thing. Must be really convenient having a publicly addressable (probably not publicly routable) IP address for every machine internally.
I have read through several comments in the thread. #1 and easiest thing you can do which will show you quick results is to join the gym and make sure you hit it at least 5 times a week for minimum 45 minutes each time.
Yes, and it's often enabled by the manager and the rest of the team who allow the 10xer to work from home several days in a row on a sprint until he's changed the code so drastically that only he can understand it
9 year max-age; impressive.
If only Haskell had a prelude more similar to that of PureScript. Insisting on keeping backwards compatibility for didactic reasons is getting very silly after 30 years. The haskell Num class is just ugly. And that is just one example.
It's not realy deep nostalgia... As in, it could just as easily be anyone's face right.
Anyone know if/when they'll push these changes to their micro-framework Lumen (https://lumen.laravel.com/)?
Berbix looks good.

We need to compare the face on the user's ID card against other user-provided photos to see if they are the same person. Will the 'images.front.face_image' watermark interfere with face analysis?

Twilio's Lookup API can return extra data from various databases. Have you considered doing something similar with Berbix Verify? We would be interested in sex-offender registration status, violent crime conviction status, and home geographic area. Various demographic info could also be useful: education level, employment status, income/asset level, etc.

Well that seemed needlessly contentious. What a shame.
You may find it upsetting to see an obese person, but I don't think it really compares to having someone's dog crap on your aeroplane.
Everyone is saying that North Korea is a bloody dictatorship where people are starving to death. Medias, scientists, tourists who were there (yes, you can actually go there), geopoliticians, ... There is just some evidence everywhere. There is no conspiracy about North Korea and this has nothing to do with capitalism.

They have giant statues of their leader and a massive painting of him in the most prestigious place of the country. On official articles, the leader is mentioned everywhere. They manufacture 'pins' with the face of the leader on it and everyone is wearing it. There is painting of the leader in almost every house. (do I need to continue ?)
What's really important is that you never should keep a compromised system like this running, even if you think you found all modifications the attacker did.
You probably didn't.
So save your configs and set this machine up from scratch.
There are command line tools available to help the transition from 'hack' one liner to a more maintainable / supportable solution. For instance drake (https://github.com/Factual/drake) a 'Make for data' which does dependency checking would allow for sensible restarts of the pipeline.

The O'Reilly Data Science at the Command Line book (linked elsewhere in the comments) has a good deal to say on the subject: turning one liners into extensible shell scripts, using drake, using Gnu Parallel.
Oh, I agree. In the past, religion was the only available mental framework within which people could attempt to make sense of reality.

The transition to a society where a framework grounded in methodological materialism is available has not always been a smooth one.

For the moment, my concern is limited to what living people think and perceive.

I'm going to be focusing on Clojure, JavaScript and Rust. First though, I'm taking a break from Clojure to read SICP and do the exercises/problem sets, because I think that's going to help in the long run. After that I'm reading Joy of Clojure and going back to working on web apps with ClojureScript and Reagent. As for JavaScript, it's easy to work with Node and I'm interested in React.js and WebGL so I'll just keep using it regularly. Rust is very appealing to me, and having just taken a course in assembly at uni, I'm craving some lower level programming. The documentation has improved considerably, right now I'm just working through Rust by Example (http://rustbyexample.com/) here: https://github.com/bryangarza/rust-by-example and then I want to make a Vi clone.
I had never seen TrueCar.com. Thanks for that. I bought my first new vehicle 4 months ago and have felt like I got screwed every since. Turns out, I actually got a decent deal.
> In the same vein, an article[1] in The Telegraph entitled "The Hobbit: How the 'clomping foot of nerdism' destroyed Tolkien's dream - and the fantasy genre" makes a few similar points.

My first impression of that article was that anyone who, in the 21st century, still thinks that "nerd" is a cutting insult, can be safely ignored.

Brief perusal of the original article that the Telegraph references (M. John Harrison's screed against worldbuilding as "the great clomping foot of nerdism" [1]) confirms that he's basically trying to prove that a writing style he doesn't like is, therefore, logically and objectively inferior to a style he does like. I'm comfortable that my first impression was accurate.

Ah okay. Thanks for that correction, that makes any security implications beyond "something doesn't work/start at all" even more unlikely.
A sole proprietorship exists as soon as you say it does in many jurisdictions. That's the most common kind of business entity in the US. In my case I had to file for a DBA, which was a three field form plus a trifling amount of money to my local newspaper's classified section.

You can run a software business for many years before you need to formalize things, depending on what you're doing. I think I put off incorporation and insurance for about 7 years.

One can do even better. How about a DNS resolver in 1 line of bash code:

/lib/systemd/systemd-resolved

Using miekg/dns to write a DNS resolver in "80 lines" is like microwaving pizza and then saying "I made a pizza in just 5 minutes in one easy step".
I ask this every so often during threads regarding stolen cryptocurrency:

Is there any solution yet to preventing stolen cryptocurrency funds from being spent? Isn't the only solution to have a central database and require laws to require every transaction to be pre-checked to see if it's stolen funds or not?

And not only that, the centralized system will have to be constantly keeping track of wallet mixing to see where funds are being redirected to, attempted to being washed to?
Maybe something like "The sky was the color of the sky, seen through a tacky vintage Instagram filter."
100% agree with you. I actually regularly tell my female friends that their is no better time for them to get into the tech industry. As long as they can match the "average ability" then they can pretty much get their pick of the jobs, as well as countless benefits in their schooling.

I'm currently in school now majoring in computer science. I'd say its about 70-30 guys to girls in my comp sci classes, but 65-35 girls to guys in the whole school(Of course no one gives a shit that there is basically 2 girls for every guy in the school). Every week I receive emails from my faculty that are along the lines of "Come to this event to promote women in technology" or "Come participate in this high school event to get girls more interested in technology". As well the amount of women only benefits is astonishing. This includes numerous scholarships, special tutorials, private talks etc..

Anyways the school is fairly well known for its computer science program and has very good connections to the tech industry. If you are top of the class you will most likely get a job at any of the big companies. If you are a girl and around average you will also likely get a job at any of the big companies. This isn't to say their are some very talented girls who deserve it.

Last thing that I find pretty hilarious. Lets say for example Google is hosting an event where you can ask questions and get to know the recruiters. They will also hold a separate event the next day which is for women only. And it's not only Google I'd say its pretty much every big company that does this. They don't even hide the fact you have a huge advantage in getting the job you want just because your female.
Don't forget moving the minimize/maximize/close buttons to the left side of the window toolbar. At least that's easy to change.

I really like Ubuntu because it comes out with an update every 6 months so users keep getting the newest software but I can't stand this flagrant Apple copy-cat ism. Is there any Debian based linux that updates reliably and has a sane UI?
Disclosure: same here.

You can hide your money, but you can't hide your spending. If someone is living beyond their means, it's a signal to IRS or (place name of agency that taxes you) that you are worth their effort.

Also, government is not the only one who is abusing power. Rich and powerful also do that. Bitcoin can at least prevent some of that abuse by being censorship resistant.
I find just reading the abstract of a paper is usually enough to debunk the nonsense claims people are claiming it proves.
May I ask: was the first recommendation SSRIs? Because if so it's disappointing that your doctor leapt directly to medication.

NICE guidance (in England) for anxiety disorders recommend psychological therapy as a first intervention. Cognitive behaviour therapy has most evidence and that's easiest to get (in England). People can self refer to local NHS CBT treatment (which is free), or they can be refered by their doctor; or they can go to private therapists. (BACP accreditation is reputable. Sessions cost between £30 - £50 each. Guidelines suggest between 8 to 14 sessions).

It's great that you found something that helped! Anxiety sounds to many people like something not so bad, but it can be really disruptive of someone's life.
> I've found lots of times I will request a file that the system in its cleverness has already cached locally on my HD. So "getting it off of the sneakernet" is actually instantaneous.

Huh? I thought that the point was that request files and then get them. How do you already have a file that you didn't request? Is this distributing files across people (i.e. FreeNet) so you have a bunch of files that are only on your machine for the purpose of being an intermediary to others? Or is this running some sort of predictive algorithm that tries to figure out what you will request before you do?
For now, but hopefully they don't circumvent the need for such procedures as this, and the growing talk of requests by the Administration for developers to add "back-doors" into all software is really a horrible direction for things to take in the US, if you care about privacy. Orwellian things like this are really upsetting, especially when the government is so blatant about it.
I detect sarcasm here, however Autodesk is a great success story at least if you look at it from financial point of view.

They managed to built a graphics software empire buying pretty much anything that they could acquire. Think Oracle but in CG space.

Company's revenues and stock prise rose substantially during Bartz's tenure as the CEO.

"They" (the board of Yahoo) did a decent job of finding a suitable candidate for the CEO position. Unfortunately, this seems to be the case where previous success is not producing expected results.

However, it's impossible to predict such things in advance. Lou Gerstner turned around IBM even though came from a consumer goods company and tobacco RJR Nabisco after a long stint in American Express Travel Services.

Would you hire him or Carol to run a software company if you had a choice? :-)
What does yahoo do? Google does search. Microsoft does consumer and enterprise software. Apple does hardware & consumer software... but Yahoo? Do they 'do' news? Not really. Finance? Kinda. Distributed computing? Yes, but they don't make money from that. BOSS? DDG isn't enough.

I'm stumped. How does Yahoo make money, besides slapping ads on content (as a 2nd-place implementation of AdSense)?
