Calling it Microsoft's newest algorithm is very misleading. Microsoft have themselves deprecated NTLM and recommend Kerberos.

Technically, NTLM will always be the "newest" unless they invent something newer, but it doesn't mean you need to use it.
Seeing this makes me wanna use vi again.
Agreed. Chrome OS is almost a strict subset of Android in terms of functionality. There are also a lot of reasons that storing everything in the cloud, especially from a laptop, isn't really a "feature" anyway.
Proxlet brings Twitter back to the usefulness I came to it for.
Ever heard about concept of 'friends' or even 'close friends'?
Do you imagine it is even possible that FB has not yet been served a National Security letter demanding backdoor access, on demand, to any WA account of the spooks' choice? Or that there would be any technical difficulty in complying with such an order?
I wonder why this is downvoted so much. My reaction was exactly the same - ignoring very real violence and threats of it the regime relied on. It did a lot to keep potential discontent under check. It was milder in the 80ties then before, yes. But it was definitely factor.

And I think that this is general mistake people from human rights mostly respecting places do when they talk about oppressive systems. They completely ignore how large the actual danger can be and how it shapes not just the culture, but also the possibilities people have.
To add another source, Greg Evan's Permutation City is what drove home for me how profoundly inhuman immortality is.

Signal including a cryptocoin came completely out of the blue (well, apparently there were rumors, but that doesn't mean it was an expected change). MobileCoin is also deeply suspicious in its mining model, and is not some well known coin.
I sometimes wonder how much illiteracy or lack of vocabulary and comprehension skills has to do with popularity of Instagram and tiktok and the videos that people make of themselves talking to the camera.

Also for people only fluent in languages that aren’t popular online. My parents aren’t able to parse most online English discussion, and I’m sure it’s tiring to try to understand just like it would be if I tried a deep conversation in their language, so they like WhatsApp video forwards and YouTube. Unfortunately, that content is mostly garbage.
He stated at <https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26713636> that it's users and not moderators that are flagging all posts related to RMS. He even said he'd be willing to disable flagging on a somewhat neutral submission, if I'm reading his comment correctly.
8.5 hours is not many hours for what is essentially a major technique change. It could be that you were just rushing to a conclusion.
Looks like it has lots of fake reviews.

I also replace 127.0.0.1 with 0.0.0.0 and duplicate each entry to have it for IPV6 as well, as in this script except I don't do the iptables rules: https://gist.github.com/teffalump/7227752
Would like to know some of the methods that caused the turn-around. "Conservation" doesn't tell me much. Great new though, are these tigers truly "wild"?
There's nothing on Snopes, but I'm pretty sure that "outside" is a myth.
While you are at it, check the itertools, functools as well, in case you also don't know them.
The only insightful article I've ever read on creativity is from Douglas Hofstadter's Metamagical Themas – love the anagam! – column: "Variations on a theme as the essence of imagination". Anything written by Hofstadter is gold and this is no exception.

It’s not a “blame free postmortem” though. The author is blaming GitHub for not sending him a handwritten letter from the CEO inviting him not to do the stupid thing he positively affirmed he wanted to do.

The author also neglects to mention he had to type the full project name into a dialog box, which would be critical to any real postmortem. If typing the repo name into GitHub didn’t wake him up, why should we believe listing the number of stars would? The author said he thought he was in a different repo, but that makes no sense.

The real lesson, imo, is for people obsessed with stars to set up permissions, use dedicated accounts, and not toy around with settings you know are dangerous before you’ve had your coffee.

That’s a lot more reasonable than GitHub spending time to implement yet another warning box feature that the author has proved they can ignore regardless of how obvious GitHub makes it.
>Sure everyone struggles, but imagine those struggles cranked up by 20x. You overthink EVERYTHING, you're driven by random impulses that make you focus on something new and shiny, that make you yourself believe that this is not an impulsive, but this time something worth committed to it, just to lose interest 2 weeks later.

I'm still having a hard time seeing this as a debilitating condition, I can relate to all the things you said and undoubtably taking drugs like modafinil or ritalin turn me super productive and focused, but I don't want to be medicating day in day out, tolerance grows too fast.

End of the day responsibilities forced me to stick with things after I lose interest, sure I may be 20% as productive as I would be if I was super interested and I spend 80% of the time distracted because I'm bored, but 100% is usually 5x of what people consider the norm anyway.
ADHD isn’t a modern malady. It’s been around for centuries. Just under different names.

Here’s a reference from the 400’s BC: He [Hippocrates] was known to have made at least one reference to some patients who could not keep their focus on any one thing for long and had exceptionally quick reactions to things around them. He thought the cause was an “overbalance of fire over water” and recommended a bland diet that included fish but little other meat, a lot of water, and lots of physical exercise.
We don't celebrate those adults. We call them underachievers and have them do menial jobs.
Discord took the concept of "voice-only" communication software and extended it to a full integrated solution.

This is just, yet another "voice-only" communication app, except it's iOS exclusive, invite only and seems to focus on features that definitely have no place in a "developing" platform.
I found this very informative: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7473988/

It seems to increase 5-HT by 500% (as well as NE and dopamine) in the prefrontal cortex. This hopefully makes it more effective than the other pure NRIs that have been used for ADHD.

The fact that it has less of a cardiovascular impact than a classical NRI or stimulant is neat as well.
I was just entertaining, probably mostly myself.

Fantastic of you to consider your comment and not my interpretation as possible reason for strawman appearing in my prev reply.

For the record, I consider me just listening to the music with my eyes closed not doing something IRL.

(but yes, music, book or factorio can change one and then one can change the world - and working hard on some cool tech, or changing the world, may in fact only be speeding up our demise.... or save us... so we can suffer longer... who knows)
It seems like any time unions take over, the industry declines, but it's always the corporation's or government's fault.

This is just propaganda from the rent-seeking unions, to prevent people from taking their extra-contractual anti-free-market rights away.

>Passenger rail itself was killed not by union featherbedding but by competition with the automobile and airplane--and government regulation that prohibited railroads from being able to cull unprofitable route

The unions bled them dry by piling on ever increasing obligations on them. Maybe some services would have vanished due to the factors you mentioned, but not all of them.
Go in with and open mind and read this article https://gekk.info/articles/adhd.html
> And there's basically no support once you're out, which just leads to criminals going back to what they were doing before going in because they don't have any other options.

It’s even worse than that. If you weren’t a hardened criminal when you go in, chances are, you will have all the skills to be one when you get out. It’s like vocational training for your only option of criminality when you get out.

Someone who goes to prison for cheating on their taxes or having a baggie of coke comes out with the same scarlet letter of unemployability as someone who goes in for murder.

Prison is literally a factory that creates future crime.
Only that it is exceedingly rare. Proof "beyond a reasonable doubt" is a very demanding standard, and is not even shared by all countries in the west, much less the rest of the world. Talk to any prosecutor and you will be assured that, notwithstanding the popular narrative, many, many more guilty people go free in the US than the other way around. But in any event, to the degree there are those who are wrongfully imprisoned, I cannot imagine that supporting an argument that other prisoners should somehow be treated better.
You're talking about HR here; they have no idea how to use anything other than Word. The idea of opening a PDF is foreign to their way of doing business, not just because a lack of know how, but because these are people who are very rigid in their processes. If I were to disregard companies that require Word I'd probably be unable to get a job where I live. I just disregard it, and what their qualifications supposedly are.
What GUI are you using?

Compiling aliases? I guess you are not using virtual domains and sql storage?

If there was one GUI for configuration and management of every service mentioned in the book would you consider switching and paying a small fee for such a tool?
Also, probably a better source here: http://blog.delicious.com/
The end result of all this behind-the-scenes software? Fast, accurate search results that help you find what you want.

Has Bezos ever actually used Amazon's search functionality?

I know it isn't the easiest problem in the world to solve, but their search is by far the worst of any of the major shopping sites that I use on a regular basis.
Thank you for these links. I've bookmarked them for future reference.
Perhaps additional payments were tied to hitting (or exceeding) certain targets?
Couldn't agree move, save the point about professors hating dealing with undergrads. Even the most research focused professors actually enjoy talking to undergrads given that they are respectful and show some desire to learn (in my experience). Grading, yeah they won't touch that with a 10ft. pole.

I think the point about drawing internationals to America is understated. I never really thought about this, but its very true. I've personally met more high achieving, very intelligent foreigners who came for grad school and were planning on returning home, but for one reason or another ended up staying here. This is invaluable for the US, in my opinion.
Can't people get replacement cards freely themselves? Also the original blog post said the CVVs were not stolen.
Depends on the country. Some countries banks' tend to issue cards for free, others charge.

But that's not the whole point: what is Sony doing to lessen the impact now that they screwed up?
Could be the result of an earn out.

Basically: deal is X, but if condition Y holds true for the next year, we'll given you an additional Z.
> That's with the highest amount of colors/depth that potrace allows. On an i7 processor, it takes a LONG time to compute all of that.

OTOH, for icons, you just need to compute that once and then cache the png.
Interviewer here.

When a programmer goes through a question fast and jumps right into the solution, there is two possibilities. One is candidate already knows the question. Two is candidate is exceptional programmer. If the other part of the interview doesn't match up to this, then we will assume the first case.

I definitely place candidates who are being honest upfront above others. They will be reliable and trustworthy, which is important quality for programmers.
If you can get to Chapter 2 it's a lot more approachable.
> But I feel like the software has barely changed since then.

Really? High bit depth images are a big change! There have been lots of other improvements too.
Where did "e" get declared at? It just seems to leap magically into existence.
Oh man, don't you know that you need to rest and relax for making something productive?

Read Tony Schwartz and see this video:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tke6X2eME3c

The human body is not a machine, you know...

About the thing: "you want to be rich" Man, this is ethereal, an entelechy by itself, you can't motivate yourself with an entelechy. Your subconscious mind needs real, fixed things or goals, you know "not to be rich" but "4000", 5000, 6000, 1000eur/month rich, or getting a million, or two, whatever.

You don't want to be rich, you want certain things money can give you, write it down in a paper what they are(as fixed specific goals). You will start realizing that you could get them without "being rich".

You want so much money only for yourself?,IMHO that would be sad, the richest kid on the block. Maybe you want to really help other people in the process.

The best money making people I know, and I know dozens of them, some are famous, are very good at filling OTHER PEOPLE necessities first. People can't stop giving them money because they did something for them. Money is only an exchange of value.

Studying marketing is a way of getting what people necessities are.

If you are sick of working for others, work for yourself, every day. At first it will be very hard, but once you get it you will love it:

When the Taliban was smashed in the post-9/11 invasion, where do you think Osama bin Laden and the Taliban hierarchy escaped to, to rest & recuperate & reinfiltrate into Afghanistan?
Here's one quick consideration: you have to relax. You will do it one way or another. Perhaps you should try to do stuff after hours instead of the weekend, and not even worry about being productive on the weekend?
The thing that bugs me about the 'NoSQL' name is that it seems to lump together "relational vs key-value/object store" and "centralised vs distributed" as one and the same distinction. They're not.

Databases based on the relational model can be distributed, 'post-modern' as this guy puts it, too.

There's some interesting work by logician/comp-sci/AI folks in this area, applying epistemic (and other modal) logics to multi-agent knowledge base scenarios, but I think it got a bit forgotten about because of its association with AI (think: lots of robots going around gathering knowledge which may or may not be consistent with eachother) rather than more mundane things like distributed relational databases.

Here's a course I remember taking on the subject, which might interest anyone who thinks 'post-modern' databases or models of knowledge are interesting: http://web.comlab.ox.ac.uk/teaching/courses/multiagent/index...
You might want to look into a cheap plan from a paid provider like Vocalocity. We're using them at the moment and it's pretty solid.
> Additionally just because a game involves skill, it doesn’t mean that it is not gambling, otherwise Lehman Brothers would never have collapsed.

Chess involves no random elements and I doubt anyone would call it gambling. Yet you can loose in chess.

I agree with his general point, but I don't think you can use the Lehman Brothers as a stand-alone gambling argument.
If you don't have broadband, today, you pretty much have to make compromises. You don't play Steam games and you don't stream much video--probably get DirectTV. Cell is one option in many places. Satellite is another. Neither are great but that's sort of where you are until maybe Starlink arrives.
Yep. Communication is its own confusing world given the odd packet sizes. Look up a jumbo frame discussion and reading it efficiently into pages of memory for a bit of a head bender.
That’s fundamentally true because all stock values tend to go to zero over a long enough period of time. Not a lot of companies survive 100 years for example
This is a really important puzzle. In other terms, basically the efficient markets hypothesis vs, well, a week of GameStop prices.

At certain extremes, a stock price is clearly objective.

If the company is bankrupt and wiping all stock, that's objective. If the company does so well the shareholders demand an immense dividend or buyback, that's objective. Those are the fixed points where stock price is set to money in hand.

Are the swings in the market just irrational participants between those extremes?

We could imagine purely objective superintelligent AI dominating a market, investing only to those "true" values. Such AIs might determine p(bankruptcy) and p(payout), knowing those are the "true" outcomes of the prop bet, and set expected price as the ratio of those two probabilities.

But both those p()s are vanishingly small for most companies, and infinite precision will be impossible. Even if you were nearly omniscient about all current factors within a company, the slightest possible change in either probability could swing the ratio in dramatic ways.

(Add on to that the graveyard of companies that performed well, got fat, and failed to adapt... current performance is somewhat but not fully predictive of longevity.)

So basically, what if EMH is true, but stock pricing is a debate at an arbitrary level of precision, to make it close to meaningless in short time windows?

I'm not an expert so I'm sure professionals or academics would roll their eyes and offer something even more explanatory, but that's my best hunch at resolving this tension so far.

(The upshot of this theory is that it seems to validate strategies that help you zoom way out: low fees, broad diversified indexes, long time windows... those are the real value trades.)
Is it also possible that asking about the LPs, and especially saudi influence, could indicate that the founders has morals that could be “annoying” down the road?
This is by design, you don't want your farms to underproduce for even a single season. Subsidizing them is worth it. However, we can always talk about whether the current subsidy structure is good for us. I don't think USA's obsession with corn is healthy.
Exemplified in a competition in -- I think -- The New York Times: readers were instructed to guess a number between 1 and 100, and were told the winning guess would be the one closest to 2/3 of the average guess.
Precisely. It's incredibly selfish.
When did "evil" become "anything that doesn't personally suit me"?
Playing videos is so complicated.
It is of interest! I am in the process of learning TouchDesigner, looking to integrate it with Ableton Live. I doubt I’ll have enough GPU power for real-time 3D renders based on changing sound or visual input though…

Currently I am considering pre-rendering scenes to given BPMs (where applicable) and doing only limited realtime alterations with TD nodes.

"I think the goals of this project are to create a better currency, create a more competitive and efficient international payment system, and give people more direct control over their finances. And I don't think any of those goals are incompatible with the goals of government."

Aren't these goals are completely at odds with the goals of the government, or do I read too much Chomsky?
An example usage is following popular feeds;

Nothing much. In his defense, he's also been in charge as the industry has moved away from DRM. The music labels view computer technology as just a hammer in the toolbox. If they have a better option, they go to that.

I will happily second this. Along with Horizon Zero Dawn, this is the most amazing game I’ve played in years. I’ll start it up sometimes just to go horseback riding along the amazing scenery, or go fishing, or bird watching, or hunting, or any number of the seemingly pointless things you can do in that game. It’s very therapeutic, especially after a stressful day.
Are you looking specifically just for YC companies? Which position?
Many of those tools (including Coco, a CoffeeScript fork which is, objectively, more feature-rich) provide features to help manage asynchronous control flow (that is, to make callbacks look more like linear code). These proposals were rejected in CoffeeScript (see https://github.com/jashkenas/coffee-script/issues/350) because they take the language too far away from the underlying JavaScript—in particular, CoffeeScript code would no longer necessarily have the same order as the JavaScript output.

For heavily async code, those other tools are well worth looking at.
if you were to read all of these posts, you would find a common theme: we all experience a new level of consciousness when we trip. However, regardless of what this new experience was, or through what method it was achieved, the presence of a new conscious experience proves that their are different types and even levels of consciousness.

this epiphany occurred to me through a drug induced change in consciousness. i realized that every material thing in this universe is just a product of my consciousness. this then got me thinking: how is it that material is a product of my consciousness, yet science tells me that my brain (a piece of material) produces consciousness.

I flirted with this paradox for months. I concluded that everything in the universe is just a system of interconnected systems of the same energy. I thought of the things in the universe as just different manifestations of a single type of energy at different points in space and time.

Then I read about Amit Goswami and learned some very useful scientific jargon for what i was experiencing. Anyone who is interested in "conscioussness" should research this man - he is leading a thought revolution

Sure. I can help you out with that. I'm in the NYC area.
