What sort of 'data-breach' are they concerned could even remotely compare to the disaster in the gulf right now?

Unless each persons financial information including bank records are published and criminals drain their accounts or rack up debt, publish all medical records, or something like that, I don't see how these things can really compare.

The Deepwater Horizon disaster is destroying ecosystems, killing livelihoods and may take decades to correct.
I don't see the comparison.
See my comment above, but if you do this frequently... we have a feature that enables you to right click on an installed npm package in the npm tree in Solution Explorer and open the relevant folder in explorer
I started using Scala a few weeks ago. I'm finding it's pretty easy to ease yourself into it. So far I'm not doing much that I couldn't do in C#, but it's more concise in Scala. I was productive with it the first day.

I haven't tried scala.js yet, but I've gone through some presentation slides...they're claiming compact code that runs as fast as javascript, clear error messages that point to the line of scala sourcecode, and even some advantages over jvm scala (though I forget the details). Don't know about compile speed.
The problem with (and complaint about) the top comment isn't cynicism, it's emptiness. It really just says "there is survivorship bias" with nothing specific about the shared article. It's not interesting.
That's an interesting way of putting it.

The issue is that we all have our own (more or less completely undocumented) abstractions that we mentally put on top of whatever language/library we're using. And sometimes these mental abstractions are out of sync with reality.
I don’t see the court restructuring point in the platform, but I just read the table of contents. Can you help me find it?

https://democrats.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2020/08/202...

Also, my question wasn’t whether you believe that’s what the Democrats want. Of course the Democrats want it to be a one party state. Everyone wants their side to win.

My question was whether you believe if Joe Manchin was more liberal (for example) that by 2020 we would have two more states, a packed judiciary, etc. Because that is GP’s point. That this election is not an existential threat to either party.

It’s only used to negotiate connections, not transmit data, so in theory the load isn’t constant or heavy. I don’t have experience running this in production yet, have just done tons of reading and a moderate amount of prototyping
So I'm... what? What are you talking about? In what universe is the topic of discussion here about what's popular? If you willingly facilitate people with the intent to hurt and kill, the blood is also on your hands for failure to act. This is about ethical duty. Facebook is trying not to shirk this ethical duty. The top-level comment believes they are misapplying and overreaching in their effort to do this. Both my comment and the one it replies to largely do not touch even this discussion, their shtick is property rights and mine is substantive discourse. If you think I made a point about censoring unpopular content, you replied to the wrong comment.

Secondly, your tone suggests you'd think I have an inconsistent worldview if I believe moderators should perform any moderation action at all? You'll have to explain how that makes sense to you, because moderators providing escalating warnings to users that post insubstantive and volatile comments is something that's been with me for a long time and I'm rather fond of the practice.
1. Passphrases, additional to passwords, should not exist. Mainstream users don't know the difference. Matrix needs something like https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secure_Remote_Password_protoco....

2. Technical lingo like "verify other session" and some buggy emoji shenanigans confuse people. The only passable device linking, based on scanning a QR code, is between Element Desktop and Element Mobile, but...

3. Element on iOS is absolutely awful. The worst interface I've ever seen. Extremely busy and convoluted. Rows of horizontally scrollable icons, duplicated as lists? Chat views where spacing is all off? It doesn't work for small group chats and doesn't work for large public chatrooms.

4. Element on iOS won't play GIFs. Element on Chrome/Electron only uploads the first frame of a pasted GIF. This was actually a deal breaker for my social circle.

Frankly, just compare the user experience of Keybase and Element. Keybase got it right.
I'm curious if you've looked into Signal and if you think it's a viable alternative to Threema? Specifically considering Signal is fully open source (client and servers), uses reproducible builds which allows you to verify that the source matches the app you're running, and is owned by a non-profit which can't be sold to a for-profit company.
Like how some people still advocate for wiping hard drives with the Gutmann method (35 wipe passes)[0] when a single pass is more than sufficient for practically everyone?[a][b]

[a]: Obviously, for absolute security, a hammer and/or a shredder does much better.

[b]: This also ignores that the Gutmann method was designed for hard drive encoding methods that aren’t used anymore.

> Deplatform: Prevent (a person...) from contributing to a forum or debate, especially by blocking them on a particular website.[1]

Everytime someone is removed from a platform they've been deplatformed[2]. The existence of a few remaining platforms that aren't participating in that effort doesn't mean it doesn't exist.

And don't be fooled; it is an active, organized effort whose ultimate goal is to make disagreement impossible. Hell, the term for it in the UK is "no-platform", which makes the goal quite clear. You seem to be arguing that movement doesn't exist, simply because it hasn't completely succeeded.

What does the transparency change though?
The problem is that it creates a system that is easy to abuse, by the employer.
I hope this is the year Panic upgrades Transmit to have a retry button for failed uploads - it's especially painful that entire syncs and batch uploads have to stop or be accepted as incomplete if a single file fails.

Assuming it could even be sold, if it were lacking now-mandatory equipment (tire-pressure sensors, etc).
Pretty self-righteous article.

When I was teaching information security, I literally had more than half of my students turn in heavily plagiarized papers. It was pretty easy to spot suspicious phrases, and Googling would always turn up the sources quickly.

It was actually quite overwhelming figuring out how to deal with it all - the problem was if we gave no marks for that paper, or failed all the students, it would've been pretty disastrous for the university. In the end, we had to punish the most egregious plagiarism with no marks, and give partial marks for the rest, trying to identify and give credit for the original work.

I had not one, but several students come and argue they should get their full marks back, "for fulfilling the requirements of the assignment".
It won't and should not be used in mission-critical applications, but just for extra fun, one may still want it to be as correct as possible. Right now I'm writing a cryptography library in PDP-11 assembly while investigating tools for its formal verification. Cryptoline looks like a promising candidate.
Thanks, from that thread: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PZBjmScEbY8
Either way works for me, but "The missing continent that it took 375 years to find" might be suitable for everyone.
Try posting a random picture you got from Google Images on RealGirls and see how long it takes to get removed and a message from the moderators asking you to verify your identity.
Tumblr still has plenty of porn, they've just crippled the UI and made it even less usable if you want the 18+ content. Given the starting point of how bad the interface already was this was quite an achievement.
> Oh, you just play pixel art indies? Back of the line.

At least there's some originality there.
Even the most innocuous ad will upset someone. It's a cost/benefit tradeoff like everything else.
In a language without pointers, you don't need to do anything fancy. Your program just doesn't get any references to objects from other processes, and it can't touch what it can't see. In a language like C, you would need some kind of bounds-checking to make sure addresses live within the correct range, which, if you're going to implement without hardware support, is going to be dog slow, unless you can optimize some of them away with the compiler.

However, either way, hardware memory protection adds another layer of safety/security, just like the no-execute (NX) bit. It makes it harder for attackers to hijack your VM, and also less likely that a program, because of a bug in your VM, could crash other processes or even the kernel.
Kaggle seems to offer a lot of free GPU services if you want to have your notebooks be public.
If the law is selectively applied, it's not the rule of law. I think you'll find a lot of people here will think that they threw the book at him, because he challenged the system.

And Snowden is actually in the same boat here. He's not military, but he had clearance, so he's liable for quite a bit. I'm not sure which court would trial him, so there might be some differences.
A lot of people say there’s no such thing as asset inflation [1] and I find that very confusing. Hypothetically, if we add $1T to the economy and everyone invests it into stocks, is that not inflation? I guess economists say it’s not, but it feels like a pedantic argument about assets being “overpriced” not “inflated”.

I think our current method of measuring inflation against the CPI is nonsense, the basic premise that you can assume the price of e.g. milk is stable doesn’t even make sense. There’s changes in manufacturing, quality, brands, and market demand that aren't accounted for in the CPI.

Measuring inflation (or whatever you want to call the difference between an asset's nominal value and it's intrinsic value) is still useful, but the current method of pegging everything against the bag-of-goods in the CPI seems like an overly simplistic model. This approach of normalizing asset prices against the M1 supply seems more reasonable to me. The intrinsic dollar value of an asset is its value relative to how many dollars there are, not relative to whatever the price of milk is.

1. http://noahpinionblog.blogspot.com/2013/07/asset-price-infla...

Edit: I am clearly not an economist, please see some of the informative comments below. In particular, it sounds like the CPI does account for some complexities, asset inflation is more commonly supported than I thought, but normalizing by M1 might not make any more sense than CPI.
About a month ago at a train station I brought a suitcase down an elevator for a woman with a baby. She thanked me in an English accent; I blush to say that I said "no problem" rather than "you're welcome." I knew at once that I was at fault there, but went on my way.

On the other hand, isn't "de rien" thought an appropriate reply to "merci"?
Would agree. Ive got a synology nas with a handful of wyze cams using rtsp (with no internet access).

Granted I had to somewhat beef up my wifi in the house to get everything working as expected. But it is pretty nice.
They can be recorded as a .WAV file at 33 rpm, which is then easy to write a program to speed up to 78.
Integral Theory does a great deal of work to provide a framework for getting technical about any number of subjects involved.
It’s easier for China because they have supplies in abundance. But in for example the US, there’s no question of willingness vs. ability; each individual state is building up its own healthcare system, but things still cross state borders easily as needed.

The criticism isn’t, I don’t think, that the EU is being uncommonly cruel or heartless. It’s just that the EU isn’t a union. When the chips are down, when there’s some crisis that actually matters, other countries in the EU won’t make sacrifices for your sake. Which is fine, there’s no reason a trade organization shouldn’t have a flag or declare itself to be a single entity in economic rankings, but it means members need to be careful about how dependent they allow themselves to become.
Like Italy/Spain? When the system is overwhelmed death rates rise.

The reports from wuhan tell a story of difficult recovery. Young people 2 months recovered can't walk up stairs. 30% reduced lung function. If 60% get it that's a huge amount of people..
There is also Food Data Central and Nutritionix
Someone had mentioned (can't remember where) that watching the television show "Chopped" might be useful while dealing with all the odd ingredients that haven't been hoarded.
This is exactly what I did in the beginning :)

But custdev showed that companies do not care about it.

They are ready to take Django/RoR/Laravel developers who know only ORM. Such developers are cheaper, they are easier to hire.
Some people also think that it's faster to develop this way :)
They prefer to start dealing with problems after they get on production DB.

They shift developer problems to DBA. There is research saying that the price of fixing a bug in production is on average 400 times the price of fixing it at the development stage.

Ok, the boss call the shots :) I had to make a pivot to DBA needs.
It was a bit upsetting at first, but then I realized that it was even simpler. You need to do a lot more tools for developers to make them feel comfortable.

A few words about open source.
At first, I used this AST parser for PostgreSQL
https://github.com/lfittl/libpg_query
But it's frozen on Postgresql 10. And we don't know if there'll be any updates.

No official AST parser for MySQL.

There's a hard way to get a bison/ANTLR grammar parser.

Two weeks ago there was a parser like this for MySQL:
https://github.com/stevenmiller888/ts-mysql-parser.

There's also a parser from vitess:
https://github.com/vitessio/vitess/tree/master/go/vt/sqlpars...

The only problem is that the grammar for these parsers was written by hand and is not related to the official MySQL repository.
For example, the vitess parser does not support the syntax of MySQL 8.0, and MySQL 5.7 does not support more than 40%.

There is also such a tool https://www.jooq.org/.
It supports some of its own generalized SQL syntax, which does not take into account the specifics of different databases.

Look, there is another tool that uses libpg_query - sqlc:
https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21765689.

And the author of ts-mysql-parser also offers an analyzer:
https://github.com/stevenmiller888/ts-mysql-analyzer
There are only four rules at the moment...

Anyway, all hard work starts after you have the right AST parser in your hands. And if you don't spend all your time on it, it will be difficult for you to do something really interesting :(

PS: I removed the types exporting tool from the site a few days ago, along with texts explaining all the advantages of this tool to the developers :)
In a couple of weeks, I will transfer it to a separate domain, as a separate project.

I am open to personal communication outside this site, all my contacts are at https://holistic.dev/en/contacts/
worked like a charm. Great thx!
The man page for it is awful, 0 explanation of what it actually does.

It allows you to create pipes as files! So you can do:

`echo 'hello world' > mypipe` on one terminal and
`cat < mypipe` on another!

Very neat, I'm sure I'll find uses for it in the future.
There is no doubt that the other conditions make people more vulnerable to this disease, and others. That correlation is incredibly real.

What is the false comfort is people's belief that noting this ensures their own safety. My comment was that underlying conditions afflict the vast majority of us, yet people are taking the news as if it means these people all had stage 4 cancer or something and were already on death's door.
He added some :)
Keeping a separation between wants and needs can be trickier than it sounds. Avoiding a want becoming a need is important to preventing lifestyle creep.

Over the top example: buying a travel trailer because you think it will save money on hotel rooms, and you have a large SUV already that you like. Now you have pushed your large SUV a step closer to a need, because without it, your rapidly-depreciating travel trailer is worthless to you.

More HN-relevant: you have a bunch of streaming subscriptions because there are series on each of them that you can’t bear the thought of dropping in the middle. You slowly accumulated this collection of subscriptions as you started watching other, previous series that “everyone” was talking about.
Very happy with our Brother printer after a series of shitty HP and Canons
Or just "Please update your password. This is just a precautionary measure; we do not believe your account to have been compromised."
I would also wonder how much this has a "Snakes on a Plane" surface appeal, lots of attention ... almost nobody buying.
I thought maybe they could go to a country without any extradition treaty And has no diplomatic relationship with the U.S. Then cut a deal with the government.

It's a slim picking...

Iran
North Korea
Syria
Bhutan
Taiwan
Azerbaijan
Palestine
Georgia
Cyprus
Western Sahara

Even Russia has too much to lose. Maybe if it were $360 Billion, they might consider it.
> If sda was already mirrored with sdb, you now have a triple-mirror with sda, sdb, and sdc.

You probably already know this, but btrfs offers a different option. Its "RAID1" mode would not result in the three drives storing your data in triplicate but rather still stores data in duplicate but with a usable capacity that's 1.5x that of a single driver's capacity. To get the ZFS behavior you describe, btrfs offers a "RAID1c3" mode, but that's a much less interesting feature.
