It's a shame that so much energy is put into blocking public access to beaches.

This was on HN ~5 months ago, related topic: "Ritz-Carlton Half Moon Bay hit with $1.6 million penalty for failing to provide public beach access" - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20179511
How does Sublime or VSCode help with that? Emacs has evil mode which enables a vi style interface.
It makes sense if you have multiple machines to actually distribute the load (files could be on a NFS).
I got hacked at one point, and I really should restart my account it's so bad. Every time I pull it up it's just big butts...
It's spelled Tor!
This sounds like a living hell if you use git diff a lot to compare for small changes that might introduce a bug? which is what happens at work all the time since our unit test and CI are a joke. Not dumping on your project but the idea of that much of a change up of the code scares the dickens out of me.
Now imagine the same government bureaucratic policies being used to run public healthcare in the US. What do you think is going to happen to the supply of healthcare professionals?
Browser plugin which applies custom CSS?
I used to use OneNote pretty extensively for nearly everything. Recipes, course notes, thoughts while working on projects, lists of reminders, etc. The main problem with it was that if I wanted to search on something, I'd have to search X number of OneNote notebooks.

I've recently started to use fedwiki instead of OneNote, and things are alrightish. Fedwiki has lots of room for improvement as a wiki, and then as a knowledge store.

I think the ideal personal information/knowledge store would incorporate a tagging filesystem combined with something like OneNote/fedwiki. The tagging filesystem would allow PDFs, movies, etc to show up in searches with fedwiki/OneNote handling the plain text & images. Ideally the client that the user uses is something like fedwiki, where you can have multiple different pages open at once, but also allow you to pull in the PDF/video resources.
>> The boards generally don’t own any stock (another problem with our system). The boards don’t really care to hold CEOs accountable.

wait what? That's not right. I would think the opposite case is true here... The boards own stock, and thus the pressure to get that value up for next quarter..
I had the same feeling..
At first when I saw this page, I thought they count the number of people in a store through an eye-tracking device or facial recognition. This isn't too far off.

In version 3.0 we will be seeing the ability to identify shoppers who are on a shopping spree by ringing a beep as they enter the store. Sad.
I'm going to ignore all of the other parts and address this: "The problem is I don't or can't stick with one thing."

I've found focus gets better with age. Young minds benefit the most trying to discover and learn as much as possible. You get bored when the initial learning portion vanishes.

Sometimes you need a project that has a wide enough breadth that it can hold your attention over a very long period of time. When one part gets boring, you move to the next part. Over a few months you rotate around but you must return to each piece and make it better.
It's actually "voilà" in real French... :P
Love the full screen background image. Very innovative, you just don't see that very much nowadays. I don't even mind the extra bandwidth it takes as it's very useful, though not as much as the carousel.
It's just the blue plus symbol. Other plus symbols are used by other companies without issue.
Do you run lynx or something?

Edit: it's probably not your browser, but you do have to install silverlight.
My thoughts as well. 'Division of labor' - not everyone can be a great salesman and a great programmer.
I know; R17-rc1 was tagged a month ago.

This was more my being agog at the author viewing the work that was done to the BEAM as evidence -against- Erlang being great, rather than the fact that these people with that level of experience stayed with it, and still raved about it, as evidence in Erlang's favor. And that the issues they encountered are probably fixed any way, or apply only to their use case (and so may still exist, but have a tradeoff that is worth keeping in other use cases).
There don't exist 360.000 recovered humans at the moment. At least officially.
> Our current estimates remain at 48 nm poly pitch and 30 nm metal pitch. Those dimensions yield an estimated device density of 171.3 MTr/mm².

I just sized up 1mm between my fingers.

Um. WOW. Really. Wow.
Your comment in a good example of the very different world views that exist within programming. I'm not trying to bash on your comment, just illustrate the difference and show how this makes communication trickier than we sometimes acknowledge.

In a modern typed language you wouldn't represent an ID as an integer or a string, you'd represent it is an ID. Then define addition as whatever makes sense for IDs. This can mean not defining the operation at all, in which case you can't compile code that tries to add IDs. This is the viewpoint that statically typed FP people take, and the viewpoint that languages like Rust take.

Your view is more inline with untyped languages or languages with weak type systems like Java or Go. (Arguably Java is changing as it adopts more modern features but I don't think the culture is changing as rapidly as the language.)
Inform is definitely the leader in parser fiction and there's been some amazing games made from it (Counterfeit Monkey and Hadean Lands being two of my favorites).

I would throw Ink (from Inkle, creators of 80 Days, Steve Jackson's Sorcery!, and Heaven's Vault) in the ring for the choice-driven variant of IF. It also publishes a playable webpage. I made a sort of unconventional portfolio-like page with it here: https://maxsond.github.io/

solution: a recently renoed house can be airbnb'ed, but after two years it has to be rented?
What is the logic behind that?
Yeah, that's why I keep looking at my math, though it seems straightforward. That 90 tons must be off somehow.
Your dismissive tone is uncalled for and not appreciated. Here's a systematic review that cites several studies that find face masks show a statistically significant effect in protection against influenza:

If your collaborators can point you to peer-reviewed studies that rebut these results, or to a serious current analysis that shows the impossibility (or estimates the price and time frame) of ramping up PPE production, please post it.
The core of your argument is that you don't think many reloads, by different users, from different Tor IP's, is convincing evidence, and I think that makes you part of a very tiny minority.
I guess it is hard to pinpoint one particular thing, when it is the overall system of ruthless management which causes grief among engs who dare have a performance blip... on top of the constant stream of stories/rumours they hear of their co-workers / from their co-workers... I guess it only makes them want to move to some place where there is less of such constant barrage of negativity (tangential: https://hbr.org/2016/06/the-management-thinker-we-should-nev...). Personally though, I quit AWS three ago, and haven't looked back, though I did like my time there (and have very little to complaint about).
"right to forget" = "right to rewrite history". When that idea was conceived, I knew how dangerous it would be, and what it could lead to.

"He who controls the past controls the future."
In game development, Unity 3D and Unreal Engine (and Godot) frameworks seem to have mostly taken over from custom game engines frameworks that use some libraries (for audio, physics, networking etc).
I really like the execution on this. One piece of feedback is that the timer gave me anxiety and I closed it. I do puzzles to phase out from stress not to challenge myself in a time bound environment

Honestly? It's little more than the better pay for me. I'm generally a conscious person with politics based on empathy and equality, and I have the same thoughts you have, but I have never worked in the public sector due to low salaries compared to the private sector.

I don't lie to myself, either. What I create is not making the world a better place by much at all. I'm making industry software that helps create products. Nothing more, nothing less. I steer clear of miltech or creating software for police or secret services, but apart from that, all it does is create value for some shareholders somewhere while pumping out products that are probably unnecessary and wasteful.

It's an interior conflict that does not go away, and I won't say I have resolved any of it for me. I know that I'm not contributing to saving the world, and it sucks. But I'm also not really in a position to change that. Furthermore, I'm not in a field where governments usually look for talent, and I do enjoy the freedom of creating my own systems with the architecture I prefer and not being constrained by the tight requirements of gov systems.

The little purpose I do find is in creating quality software that kind of makes stuff more efficient and by extension, helps progress towards a more sustainable future with less manual labor. But, in a way, that's what everyone on Earth does, so it's not much.
middlebox doesnt see plaintext, it sees encrypted TLS, decrypts it, inspects in memory, and ecnrypts it back again to send it to next hop. Plaintext exists only for a brief amount of CPU cycles somewhere on a chip's memory and is immediately replaced with continuous data stream of subsequent traffic.

there are other examples in the paper that dont make any sense.

For example HTTP Firewalling use case, author refers to check HTTP 1.1 version use case, but for any network box the entirety of TLS(https) traffic is encrypted and you cant look at it without the key. And if you have key - you pretty much see entire HTTP session and there is no privacy. Same problem with DNS query. You cant claim to provide privacy, if you rely on decryption TLS traffic, even messing with TLS encryption parameters, algorithm selection, authentication scheme selection can be a serious compromise to privacy and security.

Author mixes up concepts from different OSI layers, like transport (TCP/TLS) and application (HTTP/UDP) that don't have any knowledge of each other and operate independently.
TLS is just an encrypted transport, it can move http traffic, or it can move any other traffic, and it doesn't care nor know the payload. As soon as you look into payload you lose privacy claim.

Typical case when knowledge in one technology in single domain (crypto/blockchain/web3) does not translate well to different domain, like network security.

I would like to see a proof of concept in code working end to end, just to see how it wont work in practice.
This is my first screencast! I had a lot of fun making it, and I hope you enjoy it.

One of my favorite parts of Swift is the optional concept, which separates variables which are never null from variables that can sometimes be null. This helps prevent errors from trying to use objects that don't exist. The syntax involves `!` and `?` which can make your code seem excited and confused, but it's definitely a step toward making your code safer!

For example, say you have a UI element that might have a label. If indeed it has a label, and you wanted to set the color of it to red, you can store your label like this:

`var label: UILabel?`

which signals that it may not exist. Then to set the color, you would do this:

`label?.textColor = UIColor.redColor()`

The question mark says if it isn't there, then don't assign the new color. We don't need to check the case where the label does not exist because Swift automatically does it for us!
"I never expected this to happen. I can retrieve the keys but the procedure to do so requires my presence at my solicitors in Zurich."

That might fall into the too clever by half bucket; but if you set it up now; you can claim it was intended for protection from criminals.
I didn't say anything about ethicality.

But I would certainly object to calling a Starbucks purchase a "negotiation". It is not.
There is no reliable way to know who a creator is while still allowing general user uploads.
I teach high school math and science, and I teach an intro programming class once a year. I've tried to connect students with professional programmers, and I have never found any in town.

I'm just starting to do some professional work around programming. This is a great natural environment to do technical work - you work when it's gray and rainy for days on end, and go play when it's sunny and nice out. A lack of programmers also means there are a number of businesses in town that could really use some tech support. There's a critical business in town that still stores all of its customer information in 4 large filing cabinets. Their work is incredibly inefficient - if I pursue freelancing I'm going to approach them and see if they want a simple electronic system built.

Happy to tell you more about our local scene, my email is in my profile.
The NeXT monitor cable also provided power for the monitor.

Apple tried this all-in-one approach again with their ADC connector for the early LCD cinema displays. That carried USB, DVI video, and power for the monitor.

The problem is, it's a hassle if you want to use the monitor with a non-ADC video card or a non-ADC monitor with an ADC video card. You end up buying expensive adapter bricks so you can plug an ADC monitor into a computer with DVI-out.

Interestingly, Apple's latest 24" and now 27" LCD goes the other way: it provides a magsafe power cord for a macbook. You still have separate USB and mini-DVI connectors, though, so it isn't a one-plug affair.
Sorry, no. The probably was supposed to be solvable.

Once again, yet to be solved is not the same thing as assumed to be impossible. In the history of mankind nobody has solved a X^2 * (first thousand digits of PI) + (next thousand digits of PI) * X = 0. But, using modern techniques I don't think it would be that difficult. And if someone 50 years from now could find this post and decide to wast their time they might be the first person to solve a this 50 year old math problem etc.

PS: Examples of older and harder problems: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Millennium_Prize_Problems note nobody is saying they are "impossible" just unsolved.
I almost wonder if Kinect will be big like the Wii due to the impressive amount of hacking done with it's hardware much like the Wii had with it's Wiimote.
Straw man. 1 counterexample != refutation

"View Source" doesn't help on every web page.

But it does expose more examples of code than ever before. That's all.
I don't think they get ahead because of admiration.
It's just that skill can only be judged by people with equal or more skill, if you have to judge somebody without the necessary skill to do so you have two options.
1. admit you don't know and get somebody else to judge him (admit your own incompetence)
2. judge by other factors (including confidence)

option 2 is by far the easiest and thus the most chosen one.
I think it means that 18%, but a different 18%, access their bank online every day. This means that everyone has, on average, accessed their bank roughly every five days, or just over once a week.
Instead of just running A versus incremental-change A2, also run a B version that's radically different from A.

It's like Google testing 40-odd shades of blue to see which performs better, while failing to discover that the best color to use is (say) red.
I was surprised by this too -- even counting MP3s as products, I don't think 5% of the U.S. populace buys an item online every day.
Emacs has really undergone a renaissance in the past decade - magit, LSP, ivy, spacemacs, doom emacs - there have been so many novel new packages and frameworks written by elisp hackers.

For such an old editor, the development scene feels incredibly alive.
Clearly, they need to take the electric Ford F-150, the Tesla Cybertruck, and this 1 million pound train, and hook them all together for a proper test.

Network first. Start with your network locally and ask if they have contacts in Philly. Join some meetups in Philly.

You write your own resume. Don't spend more money doing that. You know yourself best. Then get your friend to review.
Looks awesome. I don't really like the layout of the project files. I would much prefer that all js was in public so that this could be used directly with a rails/flask/django project. But other than that it looks like something I was missing.
AWS EC2 offers a dynamically priced product called Spot Instances (http://aws.amazon.com/ec2/spot-instances/)
I wonder what this means for Panorama... Since it's not close to being done yet (as far as something like that ever gets done), it could surely use more of Aza's design chops.
Java is industrial strength; just treat it as C++ where you don't have to dick with the leaky OS abstractions.

I really appreciate the language, just not crazy about the lack of closures.
The Massive Health logo is the Fedora Project logo.

"We recognize you are attempting to access this website from a country belonging to the European Economic Area (EEA) including the EU which enforces the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and therefore access cannot be granted at this time."

Oooh, wait until they hear about CCPA... (but anyway, I'm sure the 'secret GPS pings' are just plain-old stealth SMS, and we're all better off not reading TFA in any case)

It's such a cryptic call to action. When people reading an incident disclosure end up wondering what to do, you're not finished writing. I haven't logged into or even used Heroku in close to a decade. Am I affected? I just toyed around with a hobby project on Heroku those years ago and didn't release anything. Am I affected? If that project didn't connect Heroku with GitHub, am I affected? It's been so long, I don't even know how to use Heroku anymore or even access my repos there. Yet, I got this message in my E-mail so that would imply that maybe I'm affected and need to do... something? Who knows, the E-mail doesn't say what to do either.

Sounds like the best course of action for someone like me would be to just to log in, find any button that says "delete everything" and use it. So confusing.
Because the likelihood for nuclear warheads ending up being useful is close to zero.
It's surprisingly common among people who try to fake the blurred background. It does look very wrong, though.
One of Soylent's marketing points is that it's 100% vegan, IIRC. My criticisms for Soylent aside, I would actually be willing to try it. I'm sure those of us who object to an animal product-based meal replacement are in the minority though, and I'm sure this product will carve its niche right along Soylent.
You're talking about EMTALA, which is an act that prohibits turning away uninsured patients away who are in need of emergent care. Once the patient is stabilized and either discharged or admitted, they are subject to payments.

The patient with metastatic cancer who needs chemoradiation on an outpatient basis must pay for his/her care.
1000x thanks for linking this. Hadn't seen it yet.
Trust me, Nenad is not a bot :)

We work hard on becoming better and faster at tackling these and other issues. We try to learn from incidents and mistakes in order to be faster next time.

Thanks for the feedback.
Now this I agree with. See: http://www.bostonmagazine.com/news/blog/2013/05/23/a-methuen...

The line I'm trying to draw is between Intelligence/Communications-intercepts Vs. Enforcement.

All the police needed to do in the above case is go on FB, no spycraft needed. It's always a question, like with the IRS, of what they can do to you.
I was expecting it to be about dance, but it’s actually about swing music (and jazz, and other musical styles following that tradition).
Are you telling us that platforms that don’t integrate with K-12 schools (but are a complement to them) are failures?
That's true.

But there's no real endgame anyone has, it's just a pushback against "mainstream media and the neoliberal consensus" aka, the establishment, modern big tech, bipartisan monoculture, and so on.

An endgame would require some positive vision for the future (whether it includes adopting some elements from the past or inventing new ones). But there might not be any.

History creates those visions (that is, historical forces, changes in material conditions, new opportunities, demographic changes, etc) not will alone. The thinkers thinking the visions usually come later (and even if they come before the historical changes, they're ignored, until the landascape is ready for their ideas).
> I briefly looked at Pluto.jl, and I think it's probably a good way. As I understood it it's a "notebook" that always runs the whole file.

Not quite. It builds a dependancy graph of your code and can figure out what definitions depend on others. So depending on what you change, maybe only one or two cells need to be rerun. Or in other circumstances, the whole notebook will have to re-run. It just depends on what changes.

> I have to repeat that I really don't see how caching of the compilation results is even close the complications that Revise.jl or Pluto.jl have to do.

I think the main trouble with the caching is that the native code you cache can depend very strongly on the exact combination of packages you have loaded. This means you can hit a combinatorial explosion of different methods to cache pretty quickly, so you'd need to find a very clever way to find the right methods to keep and which ones to delete once the cache gets too big.

I think there's also other potential issues that I understand less. This is being actively worked on though.
Comments from the /r/COVID19 subreddit are usually pretty good:

https://www.reddit.com/r/COVID19/comments/lj9o0o/comment/gna...

> The public health bar for officials to start recommending the use of vitamin D (and its analogs) for covid19 should not be the bar for novel pharmaceutical drug approval but should be that the expect benefit outweighs the expect harm, which is clearly has for some time and this adds to the amount by which expected benefit outpaces expected harm even if the study is imperfect.
