My expectations are betrayed, but I do appreciate that Rust at least stops me if that expectation matters.

Really, whenever I concatenate something variable-length like a string, I know there's potential allocation under the hood. There has to be. What I don't get is why that allocation has to be hidden as a mutation of a, rather than just be explicit as yeah, c is a new thing. I expect functions to return new things rather than mutate things via side effects. Isn't it better to let addition stay a function, rather than overload of + being slightly more convenient/efficient for building up strings?
I wonder what role GS, the Apple Pay backend, has in this, if they are involved at all.
Encrypt arbitrary data, put it on-chain, and then publish the key on-chain at a later date. No real way around that unless all miners opt to drop that metadata, which amounts to a fork

What decade(s) would you place that time frame in?
Central Texas has been getting a lot of freezing rain this weekend, as opposed to outright snow or sleet. I know this has caused a lot of power line and tree damage (because it causes water to cling to trees and freeze into ice, whereas snow doesn’t accumulate as much on trees). I would imagine freezing rain would have similar effects on wind turbines.
Thanks. Any age-cohort data?
Electric heat is great if you don't use heat consistently. Relatively inexpensive up front, low maintenance, etc.
Didn’t have a hard life as you, but hundo percent, a warm shower really feels like luxury.

I’ve never seen the appeal of porches and rolexes other than signifiers. I’ve rented luxury cars but they didn’t feel worth it to me. May be just me. I love affordable, highly reliable things that just work with very little upkeep. I love my Toyota. I love my small town home. I love having low burn rate. It makes me legit happy.
what kind of monthly volume are you expecting? are these cardless transactions? if they're cardless i dont really see a scenario where you can have $1.50 transactions and make any money. too high risk for the processor.

EDIT: if you don't have a couple months of volume to show a processor it makes it harder to get a good rate. brand new company with online transactions are pretty much highest risk category for a processor, therefore highest rate. fees the processor has to pay visa would be close to $0.50 probably
That's far from accurate. As I have pointed out previously elsewhere (but will expand on here), light meaning illumination and dark meaning darkness are universal proxies for good and evil or life and death around the world, including many and quite possibly all African mythologies. It's there in Voodoo in spades, and in Hinduism. It's got nothing to do with skin colour.

I'm not aware of Tolkien says anything about other races of human being either more or less likely to be corrupted and pleanty of 'white guys' get corrupted into evil.

Orcs aren't human, nor are elves and their metaphysical natures are different from those of humans. By casting Orcs the way he does Tolkien isn't saying anything about the corruptability or otherwise of humanity or any race of it. He's just borrowing elements of otherness and alienness from real world myths about fairytale creatures some of which are inimical to humans and conventional morality.

Email: bensima@gmail.com

I've done work in front-end web development, a little of backend work, some data science (actually, bioinformatics), and have been studying machine learning lately. My current (work-in-progress) project is Aristotl.co (https://github.com/bsima/aristotl) in which I apply machine learning algorithms to the Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy to make a graph of articles and analyze the references. (I studied philosophy in college.)

I'm looking for contract work or full-time positions in a place that will help me grow as an engineer and a person. Contact me if you're working on interesting problems.
Fortune 500 most valued skills is a bit misleading. Reading skills not in list for 1999. May be all candidates already has good reading skills. Or may be fortune 500 companies want to hire candidates without reading skills?
Ugh yeah I had the same reaction. Clickbait is not what I expect on hacker news.
For the police incident, a taxi I was riding in got pulled over because I (as the front passenger) wasn't wearing my seatbelt. So from the start it was quite obvious what the officer wanted. He got the drivers' license, held it up to the sun to see if it was genuine, was checking the quality of the car tires, if the license plate was properly attached at the front and back. Made a big show of it. Then he asked the taxi driver to come around the corner and talk. When the taxi driver got back, we asked "how much" and repaid him the bribe he had to give. $5. The good news about rampant corruption is police can be bribed cheaply.

For the customs officer, I was bringing a box of stuff into the country as gifts to family. He was reluctant to let me through. A lot of ums, hmms, and lengthy "thoughts". I knew his thinking would be quickened by a US $20, but eff that. I wasn't doing anything wrong, so no bribe for him. I eventually made it through.
I meant to say starting a new year after the 50 past days, I see that wasn’t clear though.
Lately around 11 because I just had a baby, but before that between 9 and 10 usually. If you get here before 10 you can get still get prime parking.

People basically work 9 to 5. Yes, some people will put in a couple hours at home or on the weekend, but the nice thing is that no one expects you to be there, so you can definitely get all your "group work" done from 9 to 5.
It certainly would be, though it seems the Fed is committed to keeping rates low in perpetuity.

It's possible we hit a point where inflation ticks up due to recent stimulus/printing, and the Fed is forced to raise rates suddenly. The recent change to allow inflation to run past 2% indicates they're likely to let it run for a bit, though.
He’s off on the strategic focus of Apple (where he says that the M1 benefit because Apple is taking a mobile OS and adapting it for the desktop vs Microsoft is taking a desktop OS and adapting it for mobile architectures. The truth of the matter is that Apple has been consistently making CPUs for about a decade that blow away the competition on compute per watt. Like 2-3 years before the industry catches up to where Apple was. They’re just bringing that same power to laptops/PCs as they’ve saturated what that buys them on mobile (not fully but it’s not a big enough sales driver as mobile sales growth has slowed). That’s why you see AirPods and M1 - “where else can we deploy our perf per watt and vertical integration advantage”.

As for “why are there so few ARM versions of apps”, that’s purely the vertical integration piece again. Apple makes it very clear the old tech line is dead so developers have a clear thing to explain to their management. Microsoft tries to keep everyone happy which means devs are like “I’ll wait until this actually has industry buy in” which then Microsoft uses as “well there’s no interest here and maybe the tech won’t work out/vendors won’t materialize” and “we can’t ask our customers to pay this transition cost”.
This is a very strange contrarian website. Read it for the lulz.
>so Sci-Hub is paying the same as anyone else.

You seem to be missing the point:

Who is going to review for sci hub? Reviewers review for the journal the decide to - and that's based on the quality of a journal. I will review for a good journal. I won't for a bad one.

Who would review for sci hub? I wouldn't, and I doubt many if any top researchers would either. Sci hub will accept the crappiest of stuff, so I (and pretty much anyone else doing solid reviews) would not bother.

>Sci-Hub doesn't host, it proxies

Did you check that or write it because you want to believe that?

Sci hub pulls a copy to sci hub using stolen credentials when you ask for a copy. For example, here [1] is one of my papers that sci hub has copied and serves from their site. (not sure how long they cache copies, but it's not hard to see using chrome and viewing requests to tell where files come from). The paper even has a front page and watermarks added in 2016 from where it was downloaded from. So no, sci-hub didn't just proxy to the journal.

Didn't DT get appointed as adviser to some government agency two years ago? I remember they made a big deal about it at Defcon 17, what came of that?

Anyway, this is a pretty good gig, and I'm happy for him.
I looked into this, the problem was, there were no marina slots available for a 30 foot boat. Not that I could find, and the waiting lists at that point in time were on the order of years, not months.
Interesting. The feature list sounds great, can't wait to play with it. Can't say I know much about it though.
Doesn't seem to be loading for me. Just the PlayCanvas logo. Not seeing any errors in JS console. Using Chrome Version 41.0.2272.104 (64-bit).

EDIT: Tried another game from playcanvas.com and I get a banner saying 'This page requires a browser that supports WebGL.' However, it is enabled.

This is just an FYI for the developer, but is probably just a problem on my end.
The confusion of SSL gets worse by the day.

I'm running Firefox 36.0.4 on OS X 10.8.5. I see a "grey warning triangle" using Mozilla parlance. Clicking on that says "the connection to this website is not fully secure ...".

Firefox refuses to show me Intel's certificate at all. It does say "This website does not supply identity information".

How is an average user to know what to do if even a single application, e.g. Firefox, presents different messages to different users? IMO the message you received: "cannot guarantee the safety of your data" is much different than the one I got: "not fully secure". So which is it, and what is the difference?

Bah. Right now I switch to a separate OS X user for my banking and credit card sites. But it's probably better to devote an entire computer (not a VM) to access just those few sites. It's 2015 and things are worse and more confusing than ever.
> You should have different passwords for every site, and you should use strong passwords and a manager, but you don't because you're a normal person.

I'm amazed that people favor remembering passwords over using a password manager. With Firefox Sync, or the Chrome equivalent, you have your browser remember the password, every other browser you use syncs with that so it has the password, and you never need to have it memorized. The only thing that's missing for better usability is a built-in "generate and use a random secure password" mechanism.
Yes I'm well aware that sftp is a ftp style protocol over ssh.

What I want is a SFTP server that focuses on just the ftp part. With easy chrooting, virtual users, that sort of stuff.

I recently setup a new ftp/sftp server. Chrooting SFTP is a pain in the ass. Chrooting SFTP while still allowing some accounts to also be chrooted FTP is an even bigger pain in the ass.

In addition from everything I hear your better off using sftp-subsystem over rssh.
I am interested and would like to contact you to learn more. How do I contact you?
And that's not the only place they're stored (assuming the default cached credentials setting is still in place).
Also, with the advent of pass-the-hash, you don't need to crack Windows AD passwords to use them anymore. Just having the hash is enough for loads of fun.
Wouldn't that be a great way to hide it though, insert a vulnerability that you've seen elsewhere and know how to exploit rather than inserting something completely unfamiliar. Indeed if it's been in some other app and not discovered then it's unlikely to get noticed quickly.
Perhaps we would instead be asking under which of the "few and defined" Constitutionally-granted powers is the Federal government basing its demand that one private entity retain the personal communications of another private entity.
As other commenter mentioned the BigQuery supports the `SELECT * EXCEPT(column names...) FROM mytable` syntax. Also, it is worth noting the `SELECT COUNT(*) FROM mytable` in BigQuery is faster and cheaper than `SELECT COUNT(always_truish_column) FROM mytable`.
Also with select * you are passing on any change to the source list of columns to your output, which may create problems (say the columns are reordered or a column is created/deleted).
No please continue digressing mrpsbrk. I was actually hoping you would expand more on "maybe we wouldn't really like it".

I do understand the context of your question but it's kind of a weird thing for me to answer. For you see, I don't have an "official" employed job currently and if I were to be given a choice of what to have - I would certainly choose one that is more of a freelance type of job than a static monthly salary type of task.

In that sense, it really feels weird trying to justify my "non-existant job" as a desire for better pay and one based on a socially contextual mode of analysis.

Although here I may be misunderstanding you too. What exactly is a socially contextual mode of analysis in a country who's majority core socially contextual mode of analysis as far as job goes is to lift themselves up from poverty and just have a stable life they can live on? Even if we would set aside start-ups and include those who would say analyze this with goals not relating to better pay, what is their incentive to not merely jump ship? ...and if they were to not jump ship, would they have goals to change what sounds impossible and make it not only possible but possible towards a more capitalistic friendly future and entrepreneurial minded culture or...be more of the same?

To your statement (and I do not disagree with your point mind you), I am always reminded by a section of Hamming's You and Your Research article:

"When your vision of what you want to do is what you can do single-handedly, then you should pursue it. The day your vision, what you think needs to be done, is bigger than what you can do single-handedly, then you have to move toward management."

Not that I'm saying mine is bound to have a happy ending like the person which Hamming is retelling but in a world where the likes of Woz or Leonardo are spearheading concepts to new heights, the mediocre may be the ones left to run most of the asylum and the weak (to which I include myself as being part of since I haven't succeeded in any area where I was very good) must decide how and where they would like to pursue themselves to failure. Although just to clarify, I cannot say my pursuit is necessarily Philippine Silicon Valley per se. It's just a question that I modified from my AskReddit topic.
Wow - this seemed strangely familiar, until I realized I was in the class! What sucks is that a lot of people found the solution and showed it to other classmates, but only the 1 person who found it got into trouble. (No, I wasn't one of the students who found it).
Database Error :(
Great story! Those SR-71s were amazing machines in the air. On the ground was a different story. I remember reading about how they leaked all sorts of fluids on the ground because the body was designed to expand at the higher altitudes and speeds. Amazing engineering.
I fully approve of your goal, but don't push too hard on it. I was a rather pigheaded kid, and would always push back against my parent's efforts to be more gregarious. (Because of this, I grew up very aloof and am now regretting it in middle age.)
No, I really, really don't see how my words could have been misinterpreted like that. I made it clear that, as Iceland depends too much on the U.S., it has no leverage and, thus, will be an obedient lackey whenever the boss tells it what to do.
Yep, especially since BP's presentation to Congress [1] would indicate that that anonymous commenter doesn't have a complete understanding of what's going on.

With programming, it was a combination of boredom and having copious amounts of free time after school and on summer breaks. Not having much of a social life and poor self-esteem also helped. Add in a good amount of social anxiety and well... there is your answer.

Can't say it wasn't fun, and it definitely pays the bills now. But I would trade it all to be in a mediocre rock band that plays crappy hole-in-the-wall clubs in tiny godforsaken midwest US towns on Tuesday with a midnight time slot. But I was never good at guitar.
You need to have an indicator that I have reached the end. I clicked on the right arrow about 10 times =/

Based on anecdotes of RMS, I'd say it's most likely that he was actually feeling suicidal.
It hasn't been implemented because it is nonsensical.

So you hit your limit. Is all your storage deleted? You can't receive an alert because that costs something (even if it's a fraction of a cent) to send. Are your domains forfeit? Audit logs destroyed? There's no reasonable way to implement this. Billing alerts are the best you can do on this problem and I think it would be a good faith move for AWS to enable some by default but a limit just doesn't make sense on any level.

EDIT: Lots of people proposing solutions that work for them. AWS has to think of everyone. And they did. That's why budget alerts exist and you can respond in the way you choose. Everyone's conflicting ideas for how to solve this can be implemented today on top of billing alerts/actions[1]. Case closed.

I’m fairly certain information like this or similar was communicated very early on in the pandemic. A lot of people I know were sanitizing things from the grocery store for the first few weeks but then it quickly spread that surface transmission was very rare so everyone stopped.
