"Salting" it in that way doesn't increase your security by much? If they looked at your password, once they obtained it, how long would it take them to figure out what you were doing, and thereby be able to derive all your other passwords?
"Isn't .co too similar to .com"

Sorry, it was very confusing for several reads. :o
Rand Paul has brought up analogous points. As a matter of intellectual discussion, of course, it's all fair game. As a matter of current, on-the-books law in the US, it's almost impossible to discuss discrimination without bringing up the Civil Rights Act of 1964. Title VII is, in particular, relevant to why an employer cannot discriminate ad lib.
A job which requires he regularly assault (grope) people. That someone else devised the procedure does not make any difference whatsoever, and it makes him a thug.

The point is that you can't cite a partisan political site as evidence of a consensus. You already know what their positions are going to be - they're going to reference economists that agree with them (who tend to be affiliated with the Democrats, like Kurgman and Romer) and not economists who disagree with them.
Down voted for lacking a sense of humour. Seriously, why did you feel the need to explain at large that computers are deterministic when OP was clearly making a joke. (I know I'm probably going to get down voted myself but I had to vent off)
What if they get bored waiting at the counter in the cafe and come back empty-handed? 'Cos that's what can happen as soon as IO is allowed into the picture; particularly so with network IO.
I'm in Switzerland. According to SERPs there doesn't seem to be a suicide hot-line here, so the search doesn't get any special treatment on google.ch, nor on google.com.

I tried English/French (it's the same word) and also German, but still no go.
Can you hold the title box instead of tapping to see if that allows you to type? Not sure why that is the case.
Wait he just claimed the universe is computable because it produces regular data we can encode. Is that necessarily the case? Can't you claim that our senses just produce regular data that we can encode?
> This article gives a nice glimpse into the essence of why modern strong static type systems like Haskell's are such a huge win for development. The type system gives you a way to bound the number of things that you must understand about an API in order to use it. The confidence that we get from having these guarantees makes code reuse orders of magnitude easier in Haskell than it is in pretty much any other language in mainstream use today.

Nicely put. I think that's the clearest statement I've ever seen about why a powerful, expressive type system is a Good Thing.

Now, tell me how to get this point across to a programming-languages class for junior/senior C.S. majors, in at most a couple of days, starting 18 hours from now. ;-)

My favorite English teacher would have written "So what?" at the bottom of most of my code. :(
I was responding to the parent's point about "only" "N1 maybe", which is obviously false.
Appreciate the concern, and we hear you. We're still investigating this particular case. Normally we'll catch these types of spoofed emails. What we need to do is refine our system.

To be honest, we haven't had many complaints about spam emails or spoofs -- it literally never happens, otherwise we would hear about it all the time. We answer every help email we get -- so we have a decent idea of what our users care about and what pains they really see.

If trust is an issue, we will fix it.
Actually, since the internet never forgets, a hacked blog might cause much more severe damage than a stolen car. There are also other sorts of crimes besides Nigerian scams.
Can you answer YES to the following questions?

* I don't store process or transmit any cardholder data on my premises, but rely entirely on third party services to handle these functions.

* The third parties I use for handling storage, processing, and transmission of cardholder data is PCI certified.

* I don't store any cardholder data in electronic format.

* What physical cardholder data I store is only paper reports and copies of receipts and is never received electronically?

Yes? Then you can self-attest (presumably at any time, such as when asked, but dont' quote me) compliance. You'll sign a document that says:

* I read the PCI DSS (sorry).

* The above conditions about not handling cardholder data are true.

* (9.6) All paper and electronic media that contain cardholder data is physically secure.

* (9.7a) Strict control is maintained over internal and external distribution of any media containing cardholder information.

* (9.7b) Controls include (9.7.1) such media being "classified" so everyone knows its confidential and (9.7.2) when transported it's sent by courier or other trackable secure carrier.

* (9.8) Processes and procedures are in place to ensure management approval before moving any media containing cardholder data from a secure area.

* (9.9) Strict control is maintained over storage and access of media containing cardholder data.

* (9.10) Cardholder-carrying media is destroyed as soon as it is no longer need for legal or business reasons, and (9.10.1) hardcopy material is cross-cut shredded, incinerated, staked through the heart, chained in silver, buried under a full moon in a Scottish peat bog, and pulped so that cardholder data cannot be reconstructed.

* (12.8) Cardholder data once shared with service providers are secured with policies and procedures that:

* (12.8.1) Include keeping (yes wait for it) a list of service providers

* (12.8.2) You have written agreements with those providers that say "yes we know what PCI means"

* (12.8.3) You have some due diligence process for choosing providers that know what PCI is.

* (12.8.4) You have a policy for monitoring those providers PCI compliance so if they suddenly decide PCI is a big joke you'll stop funnelling cards to them.

That's it. No app pentests required. No firewalls installed. More than half of it is about physical storage of cardholder records which you aren't doing because that's crazy.

I think you'll be fine.
HTTPS connections work just the same as HTTP connections. Connect, perform the request, disconnect.

You can send multiple requests over the same connection for either HTTP or HTTPS via the use of KeepAlive. There's nothing special about HTTPS connections which make them more stateful than HTTP.
Unfortunately I think the crappiness is by design- easy to use doesn't sell support and consulting hours.
> it would be tremendously hard and time-consuming to make each article understandable to another field.

You can't explain something that required years of thinking and learning to a non expert that has only a few minutes to spend. It's not the role of a research publication.
Haha, Earthbound holds a special place in my heart.
Looks interesting. It would be nice if they were more specific about what browsers the framework supports though. There's a phrase that you can "Leverage the technology of the future but target today's Evergreen Browsers." That's a nice bit of copywriting, but it doesn't instantly tell me which browsers are supported. It would be nice to have an official supported list.
Uhm... isn't this just spam? It's hardly "Hacker News", is it? Granted, it's a well-made sales-page, but it's just a sales-page.

(Interesting though how everyone doesn't seem to mind. Must be the same effect Groupon thrives on.)

And who are the people upvoting this? :) Hmm. Conspiracy.
Do you feel it's made it easier for you to compose? Has it changed the way you think about music?
FERC 2222 will go a long way towards allowing these to be aggregated into virtual power plants.
"There should be some terms under which you are interacting" - sure, and those default terms are defined by the law. The company should not get the ability to have users automatically forfeit rights that they have (such as the right to dispute claims in court instead of arbitration, as in this particular case) by unilaterally putting something in their terms and conditions.

Nonnegotiated contracts of adhesion with consumers can and should be limited in their scope, what clauses are permissible there and what are not.
That would be a no-go in most of Europe. Cities are too dense, so there is just no land available for that. And even if it were, land prices are high enough that tunneling costs start to look cheap.
But does that still hold when the model memorized a chunk of the training data? Or can a network plagiarize output while being a transformative work itself?
Check out the laptop offerings from System76. They offer two netbooks and a 14" 'ultrathin' model.

Sure, the author is a bit whiny, but I still think he has a point.

One example: design. I still haven't seen a single page from Google that looked stunning, or even good (to my eyes, obviously). Their entire design philosophy seems to be infinite-amount-of-monkeys-hacking-css and A/B-testing. They even manage to make their main landing page, with only a handful of items, look quite messy.

The method may be scientific and all, but it doesn't produce good looks.
> Huh? Modern compilers don't do that.

Depends on what you're calling "invalid" I suppose.

> The exception is if you explicitly ask for such sketchy optimizations with the `-ffast-math` flag,

MSVC defaults to /fp:precise which doesn't round doubles after every operation (you have to opt out of this optimization with /fp:strict.) This can and does cause problems with e.g lockstep networking where you need consistent results on both sides of the pipe, when one end is accumulating in 80-bit registers and the other end is accumulating in 64-bit.

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/e7s85ffb.aspx

Maybe you don't consider this "invalid", or don't consider the latest MSVC compiler "modern", but if either of these is your argument, I'd argue you're writing off the article over minor quibbles of semantics - not over it being "flagrantly wrong."
I stay away form processed meats as a genetal rule. I used to love processed meats when growing up especially lunchon pork meats, weiners, saussages and salamies but I almost stopped eating these altogether. I still do but very rarely and I think it’d be better to eat less of processed foods in general. Over the years I started lowering my food portions such that Im not full when finishing a meal, the satiety feeling follows shortly after. This has had very good effects on my stomach in particular
Yup, it makes a commodity unique and special.
It's long, but how is it any worse than PHP, C, D, Fortran, Cobol, ... ?

BREAKING NEWS -> There are now dates on all of the individual blog posts. The landing page is "date-free" but is in chronological order, if you open a post, the date will be below the title...AS NATURE INTENDED!
I will check out the Feynman lectures, thanks for the reference. But my initial reaction is, isn't the measuring thing somewhere past the slit? So how could its presence there influence which slit the photon goes through?
This parking sign example seems like a good way to communicate the problems with the practice of piling on new rules or features without resorting to using analogies to financial instruments -- technical debt or unhedged call options.

The image of a totem pole containing a list of signs is a tangible day-to-day example that should evoke fear of unexpected fines ahead.
I would be a bit surprised if they did. The $14.99 Win7 -> Win8 upgrade they offered for a while required validation of your old product key. Still, MS has changed quite a bit in the last few years, so it's hard to say.
Couple things that spring to mind:

-working in restricted spaces like planes

-shared gaming worlds

-CAD/architecture/3d sculpting at 'real' size

-virtual help (wired gives example of remote help with electrics)

-home improvement (virtual paint/furniture)

-weirdo ghost in the shell style window management
I don't know if this helps the argument for free will, but physics still has randomness. Radiation, for example, is to my knowledge completely random. So at least from a mile-high view, you can't actually perfectly predict the outcome of everything, even if you could model perfectly.
Well FreeBSD is more like that than Linux, which doesnt really even have s basic standard userspace.
When the update moves and encrypts the cache, it's really anyone's guess as to how long the history will go back.

If it's going to harm use, I don't doubt Apple would turn that 7 into a 14 or a 30 without batting an eye.
Its a similar case in Canada, even though we produce and export oil, gas price here are usually a dollar more than US gas price because of higher taxes.
Your objection to these questions is fair, but what suggestions would you offer for finding this kind of information?

I ask because these questions all would have thrown up a red flag at my previous company, where within 2 months I found myself trying to run a very specific old version of Eclipse (so they wouldn't have to pay for the non-free version of a plugin) on a 10 year old desktop (with a keyboard and mouse I bought myself), on completely unreasonable schedules, embarrassed to leave before 10pm, with no programmers left that I could ask any questions, and at least mildly concerned about whether the non-compete agreement would prevent me from taking another job in Japan.

Being terrible at interviews as I am, I failed to ask enough questions for fear of leaving the kind of bad impression you describe, since I saw myself as having few alternatives as a fresh grad in a bad economy, and convinced myself that the offer was a pretty good deal. There must be a way to at least get some indication that a company isn't going to make me beg for scraps without coming off as unhireable.
The market in terms of consumer consumption is also _very much_ different from US one. There aren't many profitable web 2.0 or mobile start-ups here targeted for local market, even copying US ones don't usually work.

The only profitable model I've seen these days are Groupon-clones and i believe they really work just in Moscow & Saint-Petersburg.

My company is also working on the similar services in Russia, but we make products for international brands like Sabre & TUI, and while I like the fact that such start-ups do appear here, I'm not sure it's "less risky".
When the reward system is such that novel questions do not receive answers, users will eventually stop asking those questions.
That assumption should have been stated in the explanation and the graphics need to reflect that constraint, right? Or am I still missing something here?
Oh sorry. I was under the impression that Apple was in charge of the LLVM project
That's all good and well, I used to use OpenDNS to try to block porn, so I can see the idea behind what they are trying to do. Unfortunately my son worked out how to use VPN a long time ago so really the only choice I got now is to be open and talk to him. It did help him learn more about networks and general hackery, so it is all good really..
I have no idea what eigenvectors or eigenvalues are, so this just confused me more. To be fair, I think the author does assume some basic math understanding before hand though.
For the sake of argument let's assume the only person you hurt by watching porn is yourself, and let's not worry yet about the degree of harm or the potential mitigation from "responsible" usage. (This applies to various drugs, too.) Why would a government that cares about its citizens not step in when there are simple counter-measures with significant gains that stop the majority from doing self-inflicted damage? Even if that majority can come up with rationalizations for the damage? (Like self-flagellation to get closer to God, or brain-cell killing substances "to take the edge off".) I'm not advocating for draconian measures to try and prevent 100% of the people from doing X, and those are impossible anyway when X is readily produced (like alcohol) but there's a middle ground between that and doing nothing while your population withers.

Did they download a random anti-virus program from the net?

Which ones are the secure ones?

How did they know it was avoided? Did a popup from the software they installed tell them so?
Can’t we keep it underground just till we have space rockets so reliable and cheap so we can dispose all the nuclear waste to space? Definitely not something we are even remotely able to do now but when talking about hundreds and thousands of years it seems possible.
Speed limits have no minimum because driving on a road is situational; bad weather, unfamiliarity with the road, new driver, bad driver, personal safety limits, discrepancy in speedometers, and etc.

How would you go about policing this? If there is traffic, everyone is driving under the minimum!
Imagine if all the companies in the world switched to this friendly, non-competitive mode? I heard something like that before... hmm, communism? You don't have to work (hard), you'll still get your paycheck.

Problem is - it doesn't work in the long term. It can work for a while, until your money runs out or someone more competitive comes along and blows you away.
Steam has reminded me of the summer sale for several seasons in a row now.
Good stuff! Device projects typically take a while. Industry average for a device like this is something like 3-5 years start to finish, so you are right it's pretty quick (although other ventilator efforts have been similarly fast - it's almost like there was extraordinary motivation).

I've seen 18 months before, but that was primarily software. I think the FDA clock on evaluation is 120 days now, that's after all the i's are dotted and t's crossed. EU MDD/MDR is similar, iirc.

Congrats on getting something together quickly!
All of these concerns are orthogonal to whether or not these employees are expected, tacitly or otherwise, to do this necessary work on their own time. There's no reason Apple and Google, of all the companies in the world, can't set aside time for their employees to write documentation, and there's no reason they can't organize their bureaucracy in such a way as to not inhibit this creativity.
Developers get enough job spam, and it's annoying. Our plan is to create something that users control - don't contact me unless it's above this title, or above this $, or includes these technologies. Or, simply don't contact me at all.

From our research, devs aren't looking for another LinkedIn spam machine, so we're going to build something better than that. Our thought is that if we do that well, and we update users' resumes for them each year, then it will work out well. If we do that poorly, then we can't update users' resumes annually, and it won't work.

But it is free, no hidden cost, no hidden spam. And if we aren't adding value to your career, then it's easy for you to simply opt out permanently.
Mind naming the one you used? We'll have a spare iPhone soon when my wife upgrades and it might be time for me to go back to iOS after many years. I'm just a bit worried about some apps and things that might be harder to migrate like this.
Neither did the western allied forces following D-day. One exception is in the recent documentary, Seize & Secure: The Battle for La Fière.

I am starting to feel like a baby boomer studying for some WWII test.
Siding length isn't an issue if the line is double-tracked the whole way.
For writing your own graphics in text format, I think that PostScript is good; you could then make the output in whatever wanted format (which can be raster or vector formats), if you have a driver to do so. But if you want storage of vector graphics as the result, different formats will be needed, and I think that PDF and SVG aren't very good, and neither is PostScript (which is a programming language, not a vector graphics format, although it is a programming language for vector graphics).

Ghostscript does not have a SVG output driver, although you could first output to PDF, and then use another program to convert PDF to SVG. If they make SlimSVG or other vector formats, then hopefully a Ghostscript driver for that format could be provided, in order that it would be possible to produce it from PostScript programs.

You could then produce SlimSVG or whatever other format using whatever programming languages you wanted, whether PostScript, Haskell, or something else.
I believe anon uploads to imgur must be accessed by direct url and are not searchable/findable by accident?
Great title. Great article.
Not only the change in script. Written Ottoman Turkish was a different language than Turkish, basically. It was so replete with Persian vocabulary and grammatical constructions that the average Turk wouldn't be able to make sense of it even if they could read the script.

Also, Ataturk's language reform led to the forced replacement of many 19th-century Turkish words with neologisms, to the point where the old words have been utterly forgotten.

to expand on this, I've found most of my happiness as a generalist in early stage startups. to me, a larger company looking for a generalist with no concrete role is a sign that they don't have their stuff together. obviously there are exceptions to this rule - some companies just prefer generalists - but usually once teams get big enough, people settle into specific roles, even as a generalist.
Sadly, social forces apply to in person interviews.
