ISIS is contained to a few countries and is largely "managed". Iran is desperate to be rid of the sanctions and a nuclear deal will be in place before this time next year. They are also becoming more moderate as each day passes.

Putin can largely be ignored now. He played his hand completely wrong and now the sphere of influence he wanted around Russia will crumble (as will the economy).

So none of the issues you mentioned are that significant. What was really big in 2014 was Ebola and the US/China's efforts on Climate Change.
It has been about three years since I realized this. It is awesome.

So let's make it the new bottom line. Let's say it is a awful time in history. Internet should be is as ubiquitous as electricity, and electricity should be as ubiquitous as having water near by; but there are places without internet, without electricity and where you need to walk miles to get some water.

I like to think of these time as a new "Dark Ages". We have internet, electricity and infrastructures that would be unthinkable in the actual dark ages, but is far from enough. I like to think about our governments and corporations as the equivalent to those feudal lords and duches and sires. I like to imagine a future that is unthinkable.

Maybe is time to start hoping for a global government, that could be no government at all, but an efficient way to coordinate efforts. Maybe this "global coordination" would be doomed in the event of some global catastrophe that could destroy the necessary infrastructure . It wouldn't matter, if we have it once, we will want it forever. Like with democracy in the greco-roman culture.

This is crazy, far fetched, but so it was the human rights, flying, self moving cars, etc.

We humans are inherently crazy and we like far fetched ideas. We picture an image of the world and then try fit the actual world in it. Some times that takes us to war and genocide, some times to the Moon.

We don’t need to know how this global future will be, we won’t know.
256mb for logging on to facebook? PFFFT that's 5Gb minimum. I'm 2 months without login in to Facebook now and this isn't enough to kill my downtime.

Increase the incentive ;p
Thanks. Did you also posted on Reddit? Your name is so familiar.
Double-nitpick:

"The Netherlands' are high" does not suggest that "The Netherlands" is plural; only that its taxes are.
Well, the global history of hype, at least.
Is it just me or this not actually available yet? I'm in UK and it still says I'm up to date on the iOS 3.2.2 :-/
I know this has been posted many times before, but I love it every time.
What about Google Voice? Launched in 2009. Guess it depends on your definition of a long time.
He forget that since you're going to have a native app targetting your website, you're going to need a rest api anyway. So why not have you web client consume the same endpoint and just code the rendering ?

I find stack designed this way actually much saner.
Every set of hands comes with a mouth also. Immigrants increase the supply of labor but also the demand for what labor produces.

Perhaps the confusion arises because the immigrant does not necessarily purchase goods and services produced in their new country. We all work in a global economy were its impossible to follow all of the transactions between what we produce and what we consume. That would be true even if nothing ever crossed international borders.
Perhaps that's a regional thing? A subjective majority of the German blogs I read regularly have a flattr button.
In my current job my boss has much control over my work, he is happy with my performance, he knows that I'm way over average, but (please, believe me on this) he's powerless to improve my situation.

In other jobs I've been much more autonomous, performed much better than now, but there was nobody that noticed it, because there wasn't anyone to compare to, bosses didn't really understand what I was doing (just that it worked) and specially because they didn't know what could have gone wrong and I made right.

Time ago I was in a different environment. I was in an intermediate situation. My autonomy was limited, but not so much. Bosses were very experienced and knew how difficult my work was. I got raises and a promotion. Then I was better off, and I'd say so was the company..
No, we don't. GDDR5 is faster than current cards can handle. The bottleneck is in the memory controllers themselves - beyond an effective data rate of 5Ghz, the memory controllers get really complicated and just plain large.

A Radeon 6970 ships with GDDR5 that can run at 6Ghz effective rate, but it only runs it at 5.5Ghz (though there are factory-overclocked cards that reach at least 5.7Ghz). NVidia's cards tend to run their memory at no more than 4.5Ghz effective, though they compensate by using a wider memory bus (which accounts for the odd-looking memory sizes).

Upper-mid-range cards built off smaller cores tend to have higher core clocks, but much lower memory speeds. Halving the number of compute units decreases the demand for memory bandwidth enough that it's not crippling when you use a memory controller that's half the size and can only run at 75% the speed, which saves the manufacturer a lot of money.
I don't think liking Zeppelin, Floyd, etc... is a sure indicator of good taste, at least in the way Glass refers to it.

Appreciating something regardless of fashion / mob taste would be a better indicator in this case. Having liked Pink Floyd before they hit it big would have been a good indicator. But not everyone who hits it big is due to good creative work (although I'd defend Pink Floyd's is).
Not talking about an iPad; I used Firefox 4. I confirmed that the particular video supported WebM on YouTube. However, I just tried again with some other videos, and it worked this time. Perhaps YouTube just randomly decided that that video shouldn't work for a while. shrug
Isn't that how the new Readability was supposed to operate?
> forget all that driver nonsense

We have that, it's called Postscript. Too bad that lots of cheap printers don't implement it...
No middle ground. Please bring exact score number.
That's a cool idea, I wonder if there were any secret proposals for it in the 40's. I was shocked that I could grow up in the SF Bay and not know about this until I was in my late 20's...
The overly commercial approach by the GCP rep is so short sighted but not uncommon.

I recently worked on a project which had a potential vendor spend in the millions if not tens of millions when it went to production and scaled.

Without exception, all of the vendors we spoke with early doors were horrible. Only interested in qualifying the size of the opportunity and when it would sign, not giving us access to the right people and playing horrible politics with our client.

I won't list them all, but the worst of the bunch was Snowflake. They were a nightmare and completely shot themselves in the foot.

If these vendors would have just helped like a partner with even a medium term focus, any one of them could have signed an enormous deal within a year.

Instead, we ended up going open source and AWS native, just because they are so much easier to deal with than many other vendors.

Having ran an AWS partner and seen them up close hundreds of times, I agree they are generally very nice and easy to deal with. I did see a recent cultural change when I had a problem in my own startup, but suspect they are still nice to the big boys.
> I much prefer drinking milk from my farmer friend who takes good care of his cows than some megafarm in the US.

You are right in using the singular “I” in that sentence but to make it compatible with the policy you are proposing you have to swap it with “we” because thats what policies do, they force others to adhere to your preferences. To get to the bottom of it: By putting it like this you are basically stating that most individuals are not able to make this decision on their own.

First that goes against what I believe Individuals are capable of, but second exposing a society for too long to these paternalistic policies seems to subtract from the capability and willingness of individuals to take responsibility for their life
> Did you already accept as a fact that phones are not general-purpose computers? But they should be! Here is an example:...

Let me ask again: "why should they be?". There are different devices for different purposes. There is no rule saying that every device must be able to run mainline Linux. We just need enough Linux-running devices around.

Let me use food-based analogy this time: there are good, tasty and healthy restaurants out there. There are also McDonalds restaurants which are not. What I am hearing is equivalent of saying "McDonalds attacks healthy food" because they don't want to sell it. And your motivation? "Look, there are hamburger places which sell healthy food!"

Yes, there are many different food places just like there are many different phone types. There is no reason they should all be the same. Yes, I can agree that some are "healthier" / "more open" then others.

But one place not selling the stuff you like is not an "attack". Apple is not buying open-source phone manufacturers to close them, nor they are suing them out of existence. They have full rights to sell closed-system iPhones just like McDonalds has the full right to sell milkshakes with 110 g sugar per serving.
Infinite Scroll is often considered a dark design pattern. It makes it easier for users to waste a lot of time idly skimming content without engaging with it while you can occasionally throw ads in to get some money.

Hackernews explicitly states they want users to engage meaningfully and critically with the content on the site, and also they don't serve up ads for revenue. Given that, infinite scroll seems likely to run contrary to all of their goals with the message board.
I didn’t say that planning shouldn’t exist. I think most of the powers should be reserved by the state, though.

In a discussion about paying property taxes, which must be done with cash, what purpose would it serve to define unrealized capital gains as “make money”?
Isn't that pretty much exactly what this accomplishes? It means sites first have to request your permission in a popup.

I thought the article made it pretty clear that the heuristics are only intended as a temporary stop-gap measure to prevent every current SSO service from breaking.
So is she disagreeing with this?
While neurological problems are an undeniable and perhaps the scariest aspect of COVID infection (aside from death), I wonder if sometimes the problems with word recall are simply caused by the long-term lack of social contacts.

My own social interactions have dropped drastically since the beginning of the pandemic (which I believe is a common feeling) and it causes two things; first, I don't use exotic words in conversations so often, causing true recall problems, and second, I have forgotten how difficult word recall sometimes was even pre-pandemic.

As is common with probabilities, some of the problems are explained by the two factors stemming from isolation alone, while others are caused by COVID infection. I wonder what the portions are.
I live in Ecuador, so not a Coloumbia expert, but I have insight on this. In short, many latin countries do not have a very well developed legal system, so there probably just isn't any law on this. I don't think there is in EC at least, and prostitution is legal here anyway. Also, it is very common in latin america to hire people as contractors, which removes essentially all employment regulations. Every US company I've ever heard of that hires here exploits this fact. They all just give you money per month as a "contractor" and you get no benefits, health insurance, etc. Its okay though, more than a few of us are running the scam backwards and have multiple front people with all the right pronouns or whatever they want acting like junior developers, when really there is just one senior guy behind the lot. Exploitation goes both ways:)
There's not even a half-decent open file system for the web yet. I can store my files on my desktop and open them with any application, put them in Dropbox and open them in any computer. Before you have that (and many, many other things), web applications that are on par with Desktop applications remain a dream. As they have been for the past 15 years.
Say i have a bookmarklet with the following code

javascript:(function(){q=document.getElementById("question-title").getElementsByTagName("b")[0].innerHTML.split(" ",3);})();

That is only a snippet of the code but you get the idea.

Is it possible to repeat the code every 3-5 seconds in a bookmarklet?
That is (one reason) why I rooted and installed a firewall on my Android phone.
I empathize with your sentiment, however optimizing an idea around trying to prevent lazy or careless programmers from using it to rationalize their laziness and carelessness is futile.

For example: Agile (We don't need no stinkin' thinking up front), BDUF (We don't need no stinkin' thinking as we go along), Static Typing (We don't need no stinkin' unit tests), Unit Tests (We don't need no stinkin' static typing) and so on.
We had a pretty wild time. Had to turn off a lot of background services and completely saturated our MySQL writes, but the site stayed up. I'll write up our experience in a couple of days in some detail.
Awesome. I wonder if PG can use this to replace the upvote/downvote arrows that crack so badly under zoom and add unnecessary HTTP requests to boot.
for something easy to use, I use character names from foreign films and texts, modified with a certain character replacement and displacement..
Thanks! I knew Baen gave away some books, but I didn't know they sold them DRM free too. Only, uhh... I don't really know what's good in their selection :/

Can't have it all, I spose.
Google is only fooling themselves if they think people want to live in a totalitarian computing paradigm. Network computing is obviously the future, but it will be democratized, decentralized, and multi-platform. Google may supply applications for this environment, but they will in no way be the gatekeeper of all our I/O.

GCHQ and the NSA are the origin of the files, they have no need to break encryption in order to know anything released in this article.
I haven't work for google, but other cloud provider I worked has very strict production access policy. You cannot just access prod, or run script. Even in cases that you must access prod, it needs special temporary access. (Just in Time Tokens), which is audited, and linked to a case. Few people in management line have to approve the access, and it expires once used. I would say the chance that some random engineer does this is very very low. Unless Google actually does something like that as a product for law enforcment. I have heard few cases of these scripts for things like child abuse images. I have never seen one though in action.
Even the apps built off of the "blockchain" rarely touch the blockchain. Companies aren't looking up NFTs on the chain, they're just hitting OpenSea APIs.
TBH, with 4B at stake, I wouldnt blindly rely on AES. I'd use it as the 1st step, and then additionally encrypt its output with a custom AES-like algorithm (change tge s-box, change the number of rounds, maybe upgrade it to 512 bits). Even if my homebrew algo is weak, there's still standard AES behind it.
That’s an oversimplification. There are many reasons to choose one programming language over another. Strong guarantees of memory safety is only one design parameter.
Node.js is only fine if you have the personal energy to keep up with all of JS tooling all the time. It strikes me as insanely unprofessional most of the time.

Laravel always seems to be the work of grownups; it's not cutting edge but it is solid and self-contained.
Logos are fine as long as you have an agreement in place, but you run afoul of a number of laws by using another companies logo without their approval. Although, it seems this happens all of the time with various companies.

As for myself I turn down every request for a logo, I like and use your product but I don't really care if you cut me a small break for using it.

Lots of good losers who are winners. How about Tom Brady?

Did he act like he made up that old quote, attributed to Vince Lombardy for decades? https://www.brainyquote.com/quotes/vince_lombardi_161268
Sure it could have, but that would have made the TSA look even worse imo. I suppose if you go as far as asserting your rights, you have to be prepared to go through whatever comes up.
For every idiotic law there will be a Rosa Parks.

Now, of course there is a huge difference between state sponsored racism and the TSA policies but I'm very happy this guy decided to test the limits. If you have some spare time next time you land in a US airport ;)
App Engine has a billing plan if you want to use more resources than the free quota. http://code.google.com/appengine/docs/billing.html
It is a lot cheaper than AWS
Any word on supporting encryption? It seems like aside from partial sync it is the only big thing you guys are missing...
I wish the startupentrepreneurhackerpainter-scene used more precise terms. This kind of titling makes it all seem so damned naïve.

An API, application programming interface, is an interface presented by some means into some kind of an application, possibly itself. A C library, for example, presents an API. Both external (public) and internal (private) APIs may exist, as well as intermediate forms.

An app, application, is a software program.

Here the advice is of a unified (public + private) web-based presumably RESTish API into a web application right from the start.

Contrary to the author's experience (or nomenclature), it seems to me that engineers typically do ensure their application has an API.
Actually I wasn't aware of such a feature, it's kind of neat. But no, that won't help with this attack (the filter works only on HEAD and GET methods, and this attack is about the content after a POST).

It looks like this filter deals with reducing the CPU required to handle the request portion of an initial HTTP connection. I suppose this could help with preventing the server from being starved of resources for an attack on solely transmitting an HTTP request, but that could be mitigated by a 5 or 10 second timeout on getting a HEAD/GET request from the client initially (which should be reasonable even for dial-up and mobile connections). And I personally haven't ever seen a DoS attack on a proxy layer that ate up more CPU than any other resource, so I don't see this filter as being a significant advantage over the basic tuning you can do with connections on the proxies.

Oh, and as tptacek mentioned, a reverse proxy like varnish can definitely help in different DoS scenarios. I haven't used varnish in the real world so I can't speak to specific advantages, but in general, dedicated reverse proxies are a great way to offload initial processing, provide more resources for a high number of connections and deal with host-level attack mitigation so the app servers don't have to waste time on it.
In other countries this idiocy would not have taken place to begin with.
If you tag a release I don't see why you couldn't just pull the release only.
I'm guessing the issue is that the physical layout of the terminal is designed under the assumption that everyone arriving on an international flight is connecting to a domestic flight, and CVG was not their final airport. In that case, they want people screened by US personnel against US policies before boarding those domestic flights.

It still seems like a waste of time and money for the TSA to screen people who are just going to go out to the bag claim though and not board another flight.
It looks like there would be a lot of stress holding the doors up. I can only see the arm on the side, and at that angle it looks like it would not be very strong. I wonder about the longevity. But they do look cool!

Fair enough, I can definitely see that being an annoyance. Especially in the context of this being a light library, it's undoubtedly going to be utilized with any number of other libraries. Good point.
Web filtering software and even Google Images employ techniques that find porn on images and videos. While I'm not sure about its details, it has been done for a long time and I think it's fairly accurate (even if its false positives are a issue in some cases).
The type of consumer that wants to stream Netflix and play games on their TV is just going to buy an Xbox 360 or a PS3. The demographic you're talking about isn't the type that's going to want or care about having a full fledged computer in the living room.
I have managed to get my server up again now and also got a response from prgmr.

What was the issue?
Very very nice. I need to look into how profitable it is for a designer.
Indeed. Webfaction is great for a budget plan. But it isn't an actual VPS. You can do most of the stuff you'd want to do with a VPS, but you don't get root access. Plus, their higher-level plans aren't that great.
When I was living in Washington State, I was told that there were entire towns of Spanish speakers which were not listed on maps. Social Workers and local/county government people knew where they were, but a mainstream citizen could spend their entire life unaware of their existence. (I heard about them because I did some volunteer work with the county.)
I suggest you bring the discussion to the appropriate academic forums like conferences and workshops. Doing this via wikipedia and hacker news instead makes it look like your academic peers have decided it's not worth their time so that you are coming here instead.

Once the academic community with researchers in the same field accepts your breakthrough results, it will be easier to convince us that it's legit. And it will come here all by itself, without you having to do active promotion.
Oh yeah, that sounds good
Perhaps you can remap tilde to some other key on the keyboard?
Of course, you wouldn't fab the current design on TSMC 5nm as they'd have more transistors to play with.

It's still not a level playing field as they'd be implementing different ISAs. If Intel acquired an ARM architecture license and then designed an ARMv8 CPU with identical constraints then you'd get a valid comparison.

Although you'd likely have different IP in other areas which could skew the results.

If you're looking for a comparison of the ISA's I think the decoding issues / execution width points to a likely ARM win still - only question is by how much.
The monkey probably won't be sad. I think it is entertained all day by the researchers. Playing its games, and drinking its delicious banana smoothie. As you say; Ignorance is bliss.
There are lots of things you've learnt for Windows and Mac that make you productive. I can say this with certainty as someone who hasn't used Windows for almost 15 years and has never used MacOS. When I come into contact with those systems I have no idea what's going on. Windows has a million buttons all over the place and MacOS has really weird, unintuitive behaviour and "gestures" that you need to just know, somehow.

The best way is just to take the plunge. Immerse yourself by removing other OSes from your own PC. In a few weeks you'll be flying.
