> Give me a dedicated office with a door that can shut, allow me to commute during off-peak rush hours, and raise my pay or shorten my work hours for the same rate... then we will talk about coming back in.

If you can talk like that post-pandemic, why couldn't you walk like that pre-pandemic? You could've had a remote job then, too.

I do like remote work, but it's not all upsides. If there's a big shift to remote work, it will suppress wages because now you can hire from across the country, where living expenses are low.
> On Slack, I can't tell if someone is busy

That's the beauty of async communication. It doesn't matter if they're busy, they'll get back to you when they can, and you're free to do the same. No one gets ripped out of their workflow.
Yes in the other article in Wired that was on here he said they felt like it was important to add this feature because other messenger clients we're adding it. That was one of his primary justifications for it along with the promise of adding privacy to payments and making that mainstream, like they've attempted to do with encryption.
Interesting timing on the day Richard Stallman pointed out the dangers of the cloud and its lack of legal protections... this might be the first big legal ruling connecting your data in the cloud to you personally. Let's hope it sticks and expands as precedent... https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2010/12/breaking-news-eff-vict...
The part that I don't quite understand about bcrypt and the "scales with hardware speed" claim, is that, as I understand it, validating a password requires 3 parameters; password string, salt, and cost factor.

If you start out now with some given cost factor, that is unfeasibly breakable with modern hardware, that factor will remain stored somewhere, presumably in the database. Once computing hardware speeds up to the point that your factor is now practical to break, you can increase the cost factor for new passwords, but older ones remain susceptible to cracking. The only option would be to re-encode them periodically with the new factor to keep them secure.

Can anyone clarify if I've understood this correctly, or if I'm missing something fundamental about bcrypt? I've looked over the usenix paper, but I can't see anything obvious to confirm one way or the other.
Brazilian here. That is all very true. Except about the broadband, it's not that expensive (unless you are in a very remote location).

But you forgot to mention the electronics from 2007 sold at 4 times the price of modern ones.

Now you can all see why we are in love with the internet. It's the greener grass.
That's the problem. People create the account once to post a comment and don't think about it anymore.

Since every site asks for a user/pass, people re-use their
passwords, escalating the problem of a compromise.

If openid was a bit more easy to use for the end-user, this wouldn't be an issue...
There has always been war on the internet, the media just recently decided to talk about it.
All fair and well, but no amount of Olympics or World Cup hosting will change the fact that the country has problems that are so deeply ingrained into its culture that they have a huge halting impact on everything else. The culture of corruption and advantage-seeking is a big part of the Brazilian's way of life and that's what leads to every other problem - bureaucracy, slow development, bad education, etc.

You can't solve the country's problems with faster internet pipes; when phone companies form a country-wide lobby just so each can have their own monopoly on specific states, it's not a problem of technology or investments anymore, it's a problem of a government that overlooks things like that and of a population that ignores the issue. And this is just one example (of many).

We tend to read a lot of positive things about Brazil in the news. But after living in the country for a bit more than 30 years, I've come to understand how these are usually just overly positive spins, optimistically ignoring the larger picture of how crippling the country's culture is to any effort that is trying to move it forward.

The government hasn't achieved any "restructuring". That anyone believes that is baffling and almost offensive to me. And I'm not talking about the current or previous presidents; this is not because of an individual or a group, but rather something that is really part of the country and will take decades to change, if at all.

No one can really understand Brazil until they understand Gerson's Law:

Newgrounds! I guess they could sort of be about the news if you include their topical news games (http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/528055) but otherwise... maybe not :p
I wonder what they would do to ensure a network would be available in remote or combat situations. Perhaps the investment in technology and research would benefit the private sector as well.
I'm glad I'm not the only one that picked up the creepy undertone of what the article is proposing/representing.
This is his MO on this site.

Yes, I too have noticed that things tend to get posted multiple times, or that the same fucking Jargon File entries get posted every time the previous one "expires". I just don't harp on it (much)
UX design, especially for medical software, is incredibly important and yet is rarely done by people who actually understand how to do it.

I remember when my mom had radiation treatments for brain cancer, which were so awful they killed her quicker than the disease would have (by a few weeks). A few months later I read about how terrible the design for calibrating these machines was leading to a large number of mis-treatments, my sister and I wondered what dose she actually received.

During the Vietnam war pilots turned off all the alarms in some of their planes due to constant alarms that always happened during intense combat situations leading to an inability of focus on what mattered.

UX design is not easy but has to be treated as more important than just making it pretty. Understanding how real people use these things is incredibly important and not just a last minute bullet check.
Gmail was released on April fools day.
Start with Google, they will need to figure out and know who the actual owner is and who paid for the resources to host it.
Some printers can print from an email; other printers have proprietary cloud printing services.
I am wondering when merge approvals will come to the community edition. To me this seems like a feature that is "essential to running a large 'forge' with public and private repositories". This would mean that it should be made available to the community edition according to their stewardship page[0].

That's a lot slower than stamping from sheet and has all kinds of limitations with respect to angles and manufacturability. I've used them a lot making sheetmetal enclosures for industrial hardware, it's great for simple stuff, right angles and other common shapes but if you start doing sheets that have multiple bends at precise angles at odd angles to each other you'll run into the geometric limitations very quickly. Keep in mind that the wedges need to cover all of the angle for the brake to work and that you need to be able to remove your work without disassembling the tool.

This is a more likely option:

These machines will do full sized sheets as well and are much more versatile than a brake, also far faster.
Right or wrong aside, this is already illegal where I live by the same reason it is illegal to be sober and leave a bar as the designated decoy (ie: pretend to be drunk to distract an officer watching the bar for drunk drivers).
Highly recommended. You can put in multiple email addresses, so you can help monitor your non-technical family members’ info as well.
I really don't like this whole "screw the type system, just throw string errors that you don't know the type of" behind all of this. It feels like backporting golang's error handling to rust, which feels like a step backwards.
They already sell cars with a bioweapon defense mode.
Does this cover more leaks than haveibeenpwned.com?
Soaking up paycheques and pretending to be busy.
A single search on Google could lead to 10x-100x actual requests to the backend system. So the comparison here is not really a fair game.

Second, since I assume, most of the programmers here don't have access to mainframes, it is hard to testify those numbers. Also, since it is a benchmark it will be useful to revel what exactly the task they are using here, otherwise I would simply throw this claim into my 'pure PR mess, don't take it seriously' bin :)
Not sure where you get your info. IBM acquired my 150 people company 3 years ago. They haven't lost a customer and have increased revenue 4x in that timeframe. In their quarterly report they also highlight performance of all their acquisitions and they have a good track record of 80% or so above business case.
It's also Creative Commons licensed on his website, despite some commercial success: http://rifters.com/real/Blindsight.htm
Regardless of their corporate mismanagement and lack of a sound business plan, this is incredibly unfortunate. 111,800 people are going to be losing their jobs and many of them may have difficulty finding new ones. To everyone at IBM, good luck and I hope this all works out well for you!

From the documentation:

SNAP is Sony's Networked Application Platform and is intended to be the basis for future consumer electronic devices. It is planned to evolve this into a complete software stack that will allow third party applications to run on Sony consumer electronics products. This Linux based software stack will include operating system, device specific middleware, general and device specific Objective C APIs including GNUstep, and key applications. The SDK will provide the necessary tools to begin developing Objective C applications for the SN Application Platform.

On a typical CE device hardware resources are much more limited than in the average PC or even a netbook. In order to get the most out of the available hardware it is therefore necessary to control access to scarce resources and manage their use and coordinate sharing them between applications. This is one goal of the SNAP stack. The other one is to provide the application developer with easy to use libraries to access all capabilities of the underlying hardware without reinventing the wheel.
Commercial pressures present conflicts of interest. No form of media can claim to be truly impartial if advertising is displayed in amongst content.

One of the defining features of Wikipedia is absence of advertising - introduce adverts and the brand will lose a great deal of its power.

Even disabled the banner with 'Special:BannerController' in AdBlock.

Thought, I'd give again this year but after the banner didn't go away and the equally annoying pledge email they lost me (no donaion for this year).
Among other reasons, because it may work. Should it make a load of money (and it isn't at all unlikely, given the traffic), you'll have a big pull to turn it into a commercial entity and maximize profits. And at the end of the day, what do you do with the money? Start paying contributors?

Free donation supported model works, so no reason to risk the change.
Thanks! I am looking into this. If you have any suggestions to test the app on less popular devices, please let me know!
It could be the default for non-interactive shells without causing this problem. Or we could have a more nuanced rule, where -e means "stop executing the current sequence of commands as soon as there is an error", where a "sequence of commands" is a single line in an interactive shell (so "false; whoami" would print nothing), or the entire file in a script.

The real answer is that this has not been the default in the time between shells being invented and this comment being posted, and so the squillions of lines of shell script out there in the wild keeping the world turning have not been written with this in mind. Making it the default now would break a lot of things.

With the benefit of hindsight, though, i would say that yes, this should have been the default in scripts. Oh well.
The proximate constraint on housing in your example is obsolescent uses [porn is free on the internet] that are occupying space in lieu of housing...three story development is dense when there is not significant open space devoted to automobiles. Going taller means higher per square foot construction costs and more automobile storage per square foot of land. Both drive up the cost of placing new dwelling units on the market.

Real estate economics is not fourth grade math.
Zsh doesn't have to be used interactively.

It's also excellent for scripting, and has far more features than bash.

23.6% interest rate of "simple" interest (ie, non-NPV accounting). Pay 103 per month for 12 months. = $1236 per $1000.
Without an article or sources to back this up it's rumor mongering, and questionable content. A tweet alleging torture? Really?
First of all, how is Git itself instrumental to this scheme?

The idea is a very simple one that has been echoed by many due to how straightforward it is. Laws under a collaborative software hosting site.

The most likely outcome is that it'll end up a purely symbolic manifestation of "open government" much like whitehouse.gov is. It'll be flooded with queries and discussion that are red herrings.

The fast pace at which laws end up being revised will prove difficult for parties to catch up with. Yet if the pace is too slow and the focus too selective or narrow, then it will be deemed inefficient. Besides, the sheer complexity of the legal codex will mean most people will be unable to participate to begin with.
My reason is that I want to use the best available tool I can get my hands on, so that I can do right by the people that use my software (provide them with the new features and support they want, as quickly and cost-effectively as is possible).

GPL advocates say that doing right by my users amounts to providing them with 100% of the source code of the applications that I and any collaborators write.

Most of my users are not technical, and could not care less about the source code behind the apps they use. They just want something that's easy to use and reliable.

Some people see this very differently than I do, but my take is that being moral means doing right by and for yourself first, where "yourself" includes concern for the specific people and things that are important in your life. For people you don't know personally, the right attitude is benevolence (unless and until a particular person gives you a good reason to avoid them.)

Maybe some people say that I could live by that standard with the GPL, but my own judgement is that I (as well as the people and things that I care about) am far better off without being encumbered by it in the slightest.
This reminds me a lot of "context blocks" as implemented in the Ruby testing libraries Shoulda and RSpec (and probably elsewhere). A context is a named code block which can contain a number of tests, along with some common setup and teardown that's run for each test. Contexts can contain contexts, and tests in nested contexts get all the setup and teardown from their own context and its parent contexts, in the order you'd expect.

I've used nested contexts to achieve much the same sort of thing as Evan talks about here: high-coverage functional testing of a sequence of actions. They have the same advantage that the length of the test stays linear with the number of actions, although unlike Evan's callback-style tests, they didn't stop the test tree as soon as a step failed.
AFAIK the four color theorem was not first proved with Coq, and people consider it correct regardless of whether Coq has bugs.
Yes. I tried to explain every single command as much as I could. The reference is still Arch Wiki though, and it's very good, but I find it difficult to follow if you never installed it before...
Yes you are right, I stand corrected.

> I'm also sick of people talking about "a cure for cancer" being possible but "a cure for aging" somehow not

The scope of these two things is wildly different. To cure aging, we would have to solve seven* or so problems of a similar scope to curing cancer - and one of those problems is, in fact, curing cancer.

* According to the sens foundation:

Rust hasn't had a much bigger adoption until a while ago. It had a better open source presence perhaps, but not necessarily adoption. It changed now obviously.

I guess the question is, does it really need to be mainstream to be usable? As long as it works for the usecases you need it for, popularity isn't a necessary factor.

I have to say though that D has some issues that prevent it's wider adoption, both historical and current. Some are obvious, such as unnecessary two standard libraries conflict (I missed out on it, but the OOP person in me would have preferred Tango over Phobos).
Though I know the Nobel is focused on theoretical contribution, I found this discussion interesting: https://andrewbatson.com/2019/10/25/who-deserves-the-nobel-f...

The editorial Batson is reacting to (by Yao Yang) makes the point that the largest economic development project that lifted the vast majority of people out of poverty over the past 20 years was orchestrated by China, and the RCTs/small scale interventions that Duflo et. al. won the Nobel for had no role or relevance there. He focuses more on the policies guided by the "classic" development economists like Solow which emphasize domestic savings and investment.

Batson's post delves into who in China actually was responsible for the economic policy changes that created that development.

Personally, I welcome the the addition of RCTs to the economic research toolkit. For too long, economics has wrapped itself up in a mathematically complex knot that bears no resemblance to the real world. Behavioral economics has started to crack that by applying common sense, though too often they have dramatically overextrapolated their hard-to-replicate results.

Hopefully economists can see RCT as a tool which can be used where appropriate, rather than an entirely new paradigm that much be applied to everything (as they did with highly mathematical economics).
iCloud mail in iOS uses plain IMAP. The synchronization stack for iCloud is surprisingly based on open standards: IMAP, CalDAV and CardDAV.
And you can set another provider, Cloudflare is the default, though.
I could imagine doing something for the house of terror like projecting ghosts or something like that, in the curtains to a doorway or on sofas/couches after you stand up (and have your shadow follow you while doing creepy things for instance)

Of course, I'm no expert but throw a few million dollars into this and you can probably come up with some neat stuff even if the projection space is small-ish for now.
Re radicals: it’s not about them, it’s about having enough support in the population.

Disney is has larger and higher quality catalogue than Netflix. It's only question of the introduction timeline and how they plan to split or combine them between Disney+/Hulu/ESPN+ They have existing streaming contracts that expire in few years and then everything they own will stream trough Disney.

Disney owns: Walt Disney Pictures, Fox Searchlight, Pixar, 20th Century Fox, Marvel, Lucasfilm, Hulu Originals, ESPN, 50% of ABC and A&E (History network, Vice Media). This means that they have Star Wars, Avatar, Indiana Jones, Alien, Predator, Simpsons‎, Futurama, Family Guy, X-Files , American Horror Story‎, Malcom in the Middle, ..

What's even worse for Netflix is that new competitors are still entering after Apple TV+ and Disney+. After WarnerMedia launches HBO Max and NBCUniversal launches Peacock, Netflix has many compeittors with big catalogues and they all pull their shows from Netflix. Basically only Netflix originals will stay with Netflix.
Same here. After the first page, I was laughing aloud. The whole letter reads like a two page, very official statement claiming "You sir, are an idiot."

Given that his explicitly stated goal is to move on from this, probably a bad idea. Right or wrong, a lawsuit would invite the Streisand effect.

As for whether there's any legal basis to sue, it's doubtful. There isn't a whole lot that's factually inaccurate in the NYT piece. It's innuendo and words taken out of context. California has a "False Light" claim that might apply, but I doubt any court would take that up. At its core, taking stuff you said in a public forum out of context is endemic to free speech in America. If we penalized it legally, a good chunk of Hacker News would be legally questionable.
Applying morals to war is really about maintaining your sanity/humanity, nothing more. It is all together too arbitrary to define into rules based on various moral structures. Risking oneself for a dying soldier is heroic in the western view, but from a bushido perspective was insanity. So very arbitrary.
