I haven't had them be synchronised even after doing that, the cursor inside the VM moved faster the host cursor. That's ok though, it'd be an issue if the cursor in the VM moved slower.

Edit: Just pressing the Lock Mouse button works very well. esc will remove the lock.
So how do you go about creating the commits like the example given? Even though I live in France I've not much looked at French law - the only exception being a few articles relating to immigration. In those examples, there are modifications made to preceding laws, and it seems to me that it would require strong AI to correctly update the original laws as required by the new law. The example in the README gives the impression that we can just pull from Git and get the updated version of the whole law, is that correct? If so, how?!?!
Maybe we could make an Internet for Age 35+ or so. Remember when one could take over Yahoo chats with Javascript? With containers and stuff, the Internet could be a lot of fun again. App battles in the park by old timers on the chess tables.
What reasons are there to believe that someone who‘s in the middle of a lawsuit with their former employer will tell the truth? For what I know this „leak“ might be part of their strategy to win the lawsuit.
> I find the pi to be a better version of Arduino boards.

Arduinos and Raspberry Pis have very different I/O and signalling characteristics. They serve different market segments.
It seems to me that this lock might be easily defeated with a forged steel C clamp and a wide-angle wedge. Hammer in the wedge between the titanium bows near the lock. Clamp the C clamp so it clamps together the wedge and the far end of the lock. Then start turning the clamp until the bows snap. About $10 in parts from a hardware store.

I have a different strategy for locking my bike: it has no lock. Rather, it is foldable and has a built-in "shower cap" cover. I fold it, cover it, and take it inside. This strategy has worked for me even in Washington DC (where I live) -- I once had to figure out how to get it into the NSF -- and in Rome, where I lived for six months and commuted each day.
We figured there wasn't much reason to restrict what we ask for. I'd like to verify that with data and run a test.

Everything we asked for has a hypothetical future purpose or a present value as an implicit user survey. We could, for example, make the photos upload experience to facebook much better. That requires posting photos and also reading photos to understand how much our users might care about the feature.

We could just ask for that access later, but this is easier. Users are getting something in exchange, so for most I'd bet it is a fair trade: capacity boost for data.
(disclaimer: I run a startup that's trying to cut recruiters out of the market)

Because they don't want candidates to bypass them and apply to the company directly. Recruiters know their primary value is just finding the candidate for the company, so this is a very real risk for them.

It also stops competing recruiters stealing the business from them.
It's a lot harder to automate abuse of a random person's semistructured data without metadata than it is to automate abuse of a random person's twitter account. Sure, it's also more lucrative, but I wouldn't worry about it for a couple more years.
Am I the only one who can't get to the second page?
"It appears to be a win-win-win situation for all involved"

Well... win-win-win-lose for the robbers.
Those comments he linked to did contain actual arguments. They also contained insults, which is unfortunate, but they were definitely not merely ad hominems.

I would not have problems with such comments directed at myself. As long as there are well written, structured arguments in there a insult won’t annoy me. Well, it probably will, but not very much.

I think it‘s also important to note that this is a controversial, highly emotional topic. I would expect it to get a little bit rough whenever that’s the case. The vast majority of comments on HN don’t contain insults or ad hominems.
Prefetching could explain the occasional log entries I've seen where the page is retrieved by a modern, graphical browser (i.e. not lynx, links, elinks, w3m), but no images or stylesheets are downloaded.
> Even though it was written at a time when systems typically had only 8MB of RAM and a mere 9GB of disk storage

Is that right? I remember upgrading to 8MB with a 120MB disk which cost a fortune (and using hundreds of floppies for programs... well games :) )

Wasn't something around 2GB a bios-level limit for disk space in those times?
I've probably hired about the same number - the guys who were the absolute best were from CS backgrounds. Probably depends on the kind of systems you are building.

Just for comparison, they did the EV run in "42 hours and change"; the current non-EV cannonball record is 27:25.
ECH is intended to be GREASEd which means there isn't an easy way to say "Block ECH only when it is used" because the obvious markers are present in every single connection.

That is, an ECH implementing browser talking to some web site that doesn't do ECH will present it an ECH blob which is random gibberish. The web site doesn't do ECH, so it ignores the ECH, but a middlebox doesn't know that and if it wants to "block ECH" it must tear down this connection.

If the same browser connects to a site which does have ECH the ECH blob isn't gibberish it's encrypted, the site decrypts it and treats the result as the real ClientHello.

Historically China's Great Firewall is willing to put work in to detect and sabotage things it doesn't like. But the point of GREASing extensions is to ensure that the extension itself isn't poisoned. As a result most likely ECH will work fine in China, they'll just block IPs they don't like, punish citizens (or indeed visitors) they don't like, and that's an internal matter that the Chinese can take up with their government in the usual (and costly) way.

This is not a magic anti-censorship tool, and isn't designed to be one. Even Tor isn't that, although its developers can point you at services that help if that's what you need.
Ah, video textures. That makes sense and indeed sounds expensive.
Just released 0.5.0 which adds semantic search for images using text queries. This is powered by OpenAI's CLIP model (https://openai.com/blog/clip/) released on Jan. 5, 2021. Works pretty good on my end - awesome stuff!
Two things:

- Monzo and Revolut are better products

The developers aren’t the important party. Many of us that love our iPhones partially do because of the AppStore. I don’t want anything to change, it works very well. Developers like Epic should be thanking them. I wouldn’t have a smartphone if iOS didn’t exist.
I was... $10k?? That's not what I remember.

So I looked back at the original article.

They originally said $1100, but then after I read it they revised the number to $10k.

Wasn't the NSA tool leak due to an ex-NSA contractor intentionally leaking it?
> HTML over WebSockets is nice, but what is better is reactive data binding over the socket. Let the browser maintain a DOM tree that templates over a JSON object, then reactive-ly update and it's an amazing experience. You have minimal data transfer, and minimal rendering updates. There is a great deal of power in having your UI be a stateless function over a giant JSON object.

Interesting that you're exploring this idea in the context of board games. I implemented[0] a similar idea while making a browser-based magic the gathering interface. Basically send commands to update the server state (a big JSON object), and the server does state diffs per client and sends lz compressed JSON patches. Worked quite well, but I haven't played with it for a couple years.

Hah! What assumptions do you think I'm making here about you?
Spending some of my early career in Las Vegas and Philadelphia really destroyed by youthful view of unions as a unquestionable force for good.

One thing which can said with absolute certainty: they're not a structure which breeds efficiency.
That's pretty much precisely where I stand as well. When you talk about personal freedoms the right to unlimited action is something that could only potentially be given to a single person, since at a certain point your actions begin to encroach on the freedoms of others. As an example the right to freely murder requires that other persons surrender their right to not be murdered - so, like most of life, the two extremes are extremely detrimental and sanity lies in the middle path.
I think consumer devices are going to remain consumerified, but we will see an increase in people across disciplines who need and make use of general compute power. More industries are starting to recognize the importance of statistical modelling and interpreting data, and that means being able to develop bespoke analysis on general purpose computing hardware. Right now it's just the data scientists and engineers doing this work, but I wouldn't be surprised if this grows to include investors, accountants, actuaries, urban planners, etc, in the coming decades. I expect we will see more smaller companies with unique cluster offerings to compete against AWS and their increasing prices, especially as hardware grows cheaper by the year.
Except that the algorithm is optimized for revenue and attention-grabbing content (the opposite of university material), and will gradually steer watching habits in that direction.

> I'd also point out that in my experience, training legs accounts for 50% of upper body growth due to the specific hormones released.

I couldn't agree more with this statement. It always pains me to see guys at the gym who spend 2 days a week on chest and another 2 days on back with a day for arms and never train their legs.

It's our legs that often break down first when we're older. You've got to take care of them:)
At some point though you shouldn't want to lose anymore weight. Unless you start out really overweight, simply losing weight shouldn't be the goal anyways. Lowering BF% is a much better goal that reflects your overall body composition. I'm 6' 1" and almost 200lbs and weight wise I could be considered overweight, but my BF% was 11% the last time I had it checked and I've since gotten leaner.

In short, don't get depressed about the scale. Look in the mirror and keep making body composition changes.
Agreed. Also - surprising they mentioned blackjack - can't you turn the odds in your favor with card counting and rational betting?
I've seen the changes in my clients lives

Ah, so you're someone who makes a living by selling diet plans? I'm afraid that if you're a professional x salesman that makes me somewhat less likely to trust your testimony on the advantages of x.

experienced it my self (gluten-intolerant) and my mother (Celiac)

Well obviously if you're gluten-intolerant then gluten is bad for you.

And your argument that eating grains is not bad because they taste good is preposterous

I'm not saying they're not bad because they taste good (cf cheesecake), I'm saying that it would take a lot of evidence to get me to stop eating 'em because they taste good. Basic price/benefit calculation: I'm not gonna give up bread and rice without a damn convincing reason.

As for LSD, can you tell what appeals to you about the physique of a marathoner?

Y'see now you're sounding like a salesman.

Changing peoples eating and exercise habits is like getting people to quit smoking, they need to have the impetus to start, outside advice/encouragement only goes so far.

True. I think crazy diet advice can really do a lot of harm, though, by making people think that getting fit is a lot harder than it actually is. Cutting out ice cream and cookies is easy, cutting out grains is very hard.
To clarify, I meant that I replace the machine workout with the free weight workout permanently, so that eventually my workout is entirely free weights.
> Since when is it reasonable to judge a language on how the amateurs use it, instead of the professionals?

Well, if you want to judge the appropriateness of a language for a given task, you will have to consider how it is going to be used by the people actually using it.

Maybe some super-disciplined Perl-gurus can write beautiful Perl code, but since Perl actively encourage ugly and unmaintainable code, the average developer will produce better code in a language like say Python which encourages readable code.

You can write ugly code in any language, and you can write beautiful code in any language. But that definitively does not mean that all languages are equally good at supporting and encuraging clean and maintainable code!

I've been a 'Contractor' since 2012 and I haven't gotten thrown out of my hose for non-payment of rent so I guess I am doing good.

First off:

There really is no good 'job' site for Contracts. There are a lot of 'Work From Home/Work Remotely' sites; but there is not one for contracting exactly.

What I do:

I network through people I know; cold calling can work if you see the company has a problem and you tailor yourself as the fix. But often those are short term gigs unless they love you.

Other than that.

Don't be afraid to post yourself on the monthly who's hiring and who wants to get hired. Making yourself visible will net a few responses that maybe gold.

Lastly, Stackoverflow Careers job has bene helpful.

I am not worried about the downvotes for Karma reason. But if I am honest, I TRULY from the bottom of my heart do not understand the logic behind a downvote. You know how some people just do not get physics, this is it to me.

What I do understand is, if one downvotes with anonymity/impunity because they disagree, they would 100% hurt someone physically if they could with anonymity/impunity. But this is another subject.

I do not think my point is sexist. Sexism would be to make a judgement that is both true for men and women, then slap it on only one of them.

Men are prone to violence. I mean look at all the acts of terrorism, and wars, etc... mostly it is men who are doing this. Look at the crimes such as robbery, grand theft auto, and such, I mostly see men.
Ahem

The imminent Soviet invasion of Manchuria surely played a role in the U.S. decision to use the atomic bomb, end the war quickly to end the prospect of post war Soviet occupation of Japanese held territory.
I run a medium-sized digital agency that started as side work that my co-founder and I basically fell into. We ran our business on the side for about a year before going full-time. I would advocate stepping back and asking what you're really looking for out of the time you have and proceeding carefully.

Selling software development services as an individual is extremely risky, especially if you are selling services to buyers who are not tech-savvy. It takes patience and energy, and software developers have a finite amount of these resources.

Serious consulting generally requires daytime availability. It's a slippery slope from "side hustle" to "leading a double life." If extra income is what you're after, is it an option to change jobs for better pay, or to get more income from your day job?

One bit of advice if you stick with this plan: you can make the sideline nature of the contract work a benefit in your clients' eyes if you set your rates at a level where they feel like they're getting a good deal compared to what you'd be charging if you worked full-time as a consultant. You can also mitigate the cost to your performance at your day job if you consult on a different technology than you use at work.

But if your day job is in professional services, I strongly recommend against contracting on the side. If it's all you do, work-for-hire will slowly kill you.
> It seems like the only thing they need to do is to purchase more Euros with Francs they print, right?

They likely have a policy against printing Francs in arbitrary amounts to not endanger the long-term trust in the currency.

Cesar Milan is a terrible example of dog behaviour training. Most of the dog behaviorist community dissaproves of his methods.

Positive training is much more the norm these days. Cesar's techniques can create terrible feedback loops that create worse behavior long term.
Kind of hard to overlook the fact the video is encoded using flash. Not real promising.
>it's basically Reddit, but for image boards

I think reddit has shown us quite conclusively that the "create-your-own-niche" paradigm simply leads to a series of over-specialized echo chambers with perpetually rising levels of groupthink and self-reinforcing, self-congratulatory posting. In other words I think reddit's architecture amplifies shitposting rather than mitigating it.
This looks to be a well-put-together implementation of flux. I recently looked over around 20 or so flux libraries to use for a react app I had started, and found only a couple that I liked. I would put this one near the top, but the one I ended up choosing has been great, but no one seems to know about it!

If anyone is interested: https://github.com/kjda/ReactFlux

It's very similar, but I think I like how Actions and subscriptions to actions are handled with it better.

People were sold the crypto vision with decentralization as the key idea which heralded the end of an outdated an inefficient centralized system. Now it looks like the momentum behind that movement has been co-opted by those who see the potential to transform it into one which puts a whole lot more power into the hands of the brokers.

It's funny how the support of a group with one ideology has given credibility to the polar opposite ideology for people with very different objectives and principles.
Most people don't use Bitcoin, and most who use it (from what I see), just want to sell it at a higher price than they bought it. Only a minority of Bitcoin users use it for anything practical like payments.
I had a few maths lectures who were highly regarded for turning up and proving things from memory in front of the blackboard. I hadn’t really considered that it might be done in CS.
Huh, I just kind of assumed they were related since the whole moral panic over "hacking" was about the same time (or, in hindsight, the same time I started using telnet... I'm less old but still quite old. :P )
Fashions fade, style is eternal
Regardless of agreeing/disagreeing with the author, I think it's clear he means it is a scam by all "promoters" of Bitcoin that are in it for the 'Greater Fool Theory'

It's interesting how closely the midgame resembled a real midgame. But superficially. Better than some chess arrangements you see in movie scenes.

Unless people actually stopped paying for porn on non-.xxx domains, or they payed more for porn on .xxx domains, then there is no market force encouraging porn companies to change what they're already doing.

Exactly. If .xxx became the de facto "porn tld", to the point that porn buyers look for .xxx sites first, then yes - the porn operators would move to .xxx.

Not saying its likely, going to happen, any of that. Just responding to your point that .xxx wouldn't work because porn companies don't want it.
