It didn't freeze my computer or stutter my mouse like Flash or a runaway ietester.exe process, despite being at the same CPU usage. (50%)

Also, I'd say that this allows the browser vendor opportunity to deal with runaway scripts in a better way than the nil of control Flash gives. Good reason for a multi-process architecture as well.
Retry would work for small time differences, but would mean greater delay (and subsequent "I give up"), if the system clock were to be set backwards a substantial amount.
Any idea if "accept filters" will help mitigate this attack? See "man accf_http" on FreeBSD; not sure what the equivalents for other operating systems may be.

I know that varnish, Apache, and nginx support this feature. Speaking of... does having a reverse proxy like varnish help in these kinds of attacks?
I wonder how many perfectly honest students did worse on the impromptu re-take two weeks later, with entirely new material on their minds.
Yes, i'm pretty sure being courteous is what causes people to become fat and lazy. It has nothing to do with diet, exercise or a sedentary lifestyle.
In 2015, 1 italian died of repiratory diseases every 11 minutes or so. Covid-19 is a respiratory disease, and given the fact that Italy has a vast population with severe respiratory issues (unlike many many other countries), covid-19 just made the already bad situation worse. This is definitely NOT the situation in the rest of the world.
Hard to tell if you’re joking. If you do actually believe this, I assume you also believe that e-commerce broke everything?

«There is still no actual and relevant use case for crypto»

What a short-sighted view. Perhaps no use case for you personally. There are 7.7 billion people in this world who have vastly different life circumstances, some of them certainly need crypto to make their lives better. In no particular order: hyperflation, financial censorship, instant low-fee international transfers, etc

Ugh. It's like bingo at this point.
Strawman, that is not what I am saying at all. Merely that in space meant to foster constructive conversation - which HN aims to be - ending a comment with "you guys chose to do X" when talking about controversial political decisions goes against the spirit of the space.

And if you really believe what you've written, feel free to disclose what government(s) you answer to and what you've personally done to right their wrongs.
Most of your points are valid. That's why I'm suggesting Mozilla support it. It would be a lot less "shoddy" if someone shepherded it. I think it is the right idea.

The last point is only true because they aren't recognized, which recognition would immediately fix, therefore it is moot.

Although I haven't checked in a while, MS used to have a policy of allowing alumni (I went through the second cohort) to access the new curricula whenever updates were made.

Will that still be possible? I'm interested to see some of the new materials.
Did you consider that, instead of a hive mind or something silly like that, your post was just overreaching and insulting in its phrasing? I mean, you might recall that I jumped in on that Amazon thread when somebody was calling you a liar. And I downvoted you here, because you were extrapolating your personal feelings to the market at large and kind of being a dink about it.

(And, seriously, Steve Jobs on styluses can get bent. You know why I have a stylus? Because I use Photoshop. These devices, and I say this as somebody who otherwise doesn't use Windows, are absolutely killer for that.)
> The outward effect of a liberal arts education is being a more knowledgeable citizen, better able to think about the world around you.

be concrete. You are still speaking of internal changes; and I'm asking, "what does that mean?" - how does a person's behaviour improve after getting, say, an art history degree?
The language itself is actually very simple and writing plugins for lighttable is the opposite of complex, there are amazing tutorials floating around the web. The whole process is simply just manipulating sets of data, it's all about adding and removing triggers.

This said, you can also write lighttable plugins in javascript.

How do you know who you can message with it if the app can’t check who has it?

You ask them via other means? It might be slightly inconvenient, yes, but you almost make it sound like even SMS is an impossible task; SMS is not even that old and none of the millions who used it before there were even apps to do so had much of the problems you mention. Also because not everyone has a usecase requiring to know who has what app.

I run WhatsApp on an Android instance with an account solely for that, so no contacts etc, and literally all my contacts/groups in WhatsApp are people who at one point told 'let's do this via whatsapp'. Then again, I don't need to message people I don't know with it so I don't have any problems.

Do you, every time you want to message someone, manually copy in their number? For every person you communicate with?

No, just once, or else they send me a message and we're talking.

tldr; ok I'm not 'most people' in this regard, but still I think you're making things look way harder then they actually are
Is there a source on that not coming from some rando's or politician's Twitter account?
As this is HN, I really believe that this lack of a shared reality is only possible with the Internet. Before the Internet, there were more conservative sources and more liberal sources, but never before could you completely surround yourself with your own version of reality. And more importantly, your version of reality is constantly reinforced by algorithms that are specifically designed to raise your level of rage (aka "engagement").

I certainly don't know what the right answer here is, or even if there is one. The flip side of this polarization is the Internet has allowed discriminated groups to organize (e.g. see the "It Gets Better Project")
For one, policing them completely differently?
Have you seen the arguments about progamming language design here on HN?

Thanks :)

I'm a craftsman/artist myself and it's taken this particular post to crystalline a life time of observation about fellow artists. Myself I couldn't give two shakes about how to get something done. But I've met plenty of fellows, at every level of production (more so at freshman levels because this kind of fetishism leads to less actual production being done as the fast and easy way is usually the less sexy way), that are gung ho about a certain verisimilitude process wise. For them, it seems to me, they don't think it's an honest or 'real' work unless it's done with a certain technique.
With all due respect George, I now disagree, even if I did agree in 2012 (when we road tripped together to SXSW; celebrating the destruction of SOPA!). I still think SOPA was terrible! But my broader thinking has dramatically evolved as I learned more about how technology and power interact in society.

You assume a common fallacy that I often bring up on HN — the magical decentralization fallacy — "the mistaken belief that decentralization on its own can address governance problems."

Decentralization can actually cement authoritarianism. More details here: https://aviv.medium.com/the-magical-decentralization-fallacy...

This is why I prefer the term Computing Science. Naming the field after the tool is like calling astronomy Telescope Science.
https://www.oreilly.com/library/view/21st-century-c/97814919...

I thought 21st Century C was good, i've still kept my copy. I'd happily recommend it.

I like the K&R book too - it feels reeeeeeally old but it's really short.

There's a few others that have helped me in various ways but these are a little older -

Love C by Tim Love (free online, my copy is something i just printed out, it's not that long).

Programming from the Ground Up (x86 assembly) - this is available freely online but i bought the book and that helped me a lot with C even though it's a book with only assembly... (to be fair, it does go through calling conventions).

Finally there's another book i love, Advanced Programming in the Unix Environment by Stevens, i have the 6th edition updated by Rago after Stevens' passing. Fascinating book - but huge.

Yeah I think I said elsewhere I thought that may be the case.

I’m not really aware of another banks I’d prefer to deal with that is centered on customer service. Wouldn’t surprise me if there was.

We tend to use Credit Unions in general, but don’t hold credit cards through them.
Housing prices change. Rent prices change. Here in SoCal I was going to buy a place but the pandemic hit so we decided to rent.

Our rent payment is about half what we would pay if we bought. Just look at the last two places I rented:
Rent1: $2500/mo
Condo next door: $850k. That’s 4K mortgage and 1k HoA.

Rent2: $4100
Equivalent mortgage: $10k/mo

Doesn’t make sense to buy unless you are speculating on housing prices.
> Is it maybe possible that different people have different attack vectors they need to consider and backups are usually a weak-point for some of those people?

If backups are a weak point/risk don't enable the backups then? How is denying it for all a good solution?

> Signal is not for everyone and I think the team themselves make that pretty clear.

If Signal don't want to be a WhatsApp competitor they need to stop acting like one and jumping on every opportunity to point out how they are not Facebook/are better than WhatsApp.

All I have seen from Signal on social media for the past month is how they are the perfect alternative to WhatsApp.

Signal has disappearing messages so if a sender doesn't want their messages captured in a backup they can easily get that. Of course that doesn't stop the recipient exporting that one message or even just taking a screenshot so it isn't perfect but better than nothing.

> These kind of comments show the entitled parts of the internet

Comments like this piss me off. It is not "entitled" to want to protect my data. I have been telling people to protect their data for the twenty years I have worked in IT. But now for chat conversations apparently backups are pointless and we shouldn't be doing them??? Come on. This flies in the face of literally two plus decades of the tech community pushing for "normal people" to do backups!
The author likes terminals a lot: http://gizak.github.io/

Projects like this make me want to have an excuse to use them.
I find myself wondering the same thing. async-await syntaxes make asynchronous functions work pretty much the same as synchronous ones syntactically. The only drawback I can really think of is that you end up Futures going up the call stack. But this, again, seems to me to just be a detail.

On the other hand, the benefits are really obvious control flow with implicit synchronization. Scala has shown that it's pretty easy to integrate asynchronous workflows with actors.

The inverse of opportunistic upskilling is a readjustment of skill levels to reality. There are only so many "Purple Squirrels" to go around, and in a tighter labor market, these individuals will work for the highest bidder.

This may also explain the push by large employers to remove the cap on H-1B visas, as that allows talent to be drawn to the US from all over the world.Bringing H-1B visas to the US is better than opening offices in other countries as US employment laws are more business friendly than the rest of the world. Employment-at-will is an alien concept in developed countries. Employers may threaten to open offices in other countries, but they prefer to import H-1B visas as indentured servants to the US to work under employment-at-will law.
How about you let go of the hate and embrace some love instead for the work this man has put forth?

I'm with you. The man cares and, for all of his supposed abrasiveness, he's a good communicator. He's smart and he's not afraid to bring out the honest truth (e.g. "Programming, motherfucker") about an issue.
I tried it, but I can't get used to navigating the filesystem with the command palette. It just looks weird IMO.
Standing desks can be "affordable", though still not cheap. I've been using the Jarvis base, and putting my own locally sourced hardwood tops on them. The base is $500 shipped inside the US ($520 with the digital controller), and you can put whatever top you want on it. The Jarvis base is high quality, i've got 10 of them in my office now.

Here's a pic of my biz partner modeling one during our recent office move: https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-UNFNw1p6-Xw/VG_WYEYFfYI/A...
One could argue the same for any package-oriented system, from Red Hat to Solaris to Debian/Ubuntu ("only use packages"). The reality is quite different, and it's always been different. I'm unaware of any environment that's used packages for every aspect of system management, and Nix isn't going to change that.

Moreover, there's nothing stopping a Nix package author from writing a post-install script that causes state changes to be made out of bounds. The package manager isn't going to notice, and it's not going to clean it up at deinstallation time.
Not necessarily. For apps that don't have rich UIs (i.e. apps that could practically be websites), WebViews can reduce cost by allowing you to use the same HTML for both iOS and Android apps. So I think it's really more of a grey area depending on the situation.

But yeah, I wouldn't want to write Excel in procedural C.
Thank you for this, I had no idea. Further, I have no idea how I would have found out about this if not for stumbling across it randomly online, as the menubar is simply not a place where I expect options to be changeable and there's nothing in the menu to suggest option will modify it.
I like the self parameter, because it makes the language more powerful. You can now simply assign a function to a class and make it a member method if it accepts an appropriate first parameter. The opposite is equally true. You can do something like `map(Class.method, sequence)`.
Are we looking at the same code? I use an assert to quickly check for NULL, and this is a simple example of how to work with the function. Other parts of the book use more extensive error checking and I use my debug.h macros quite a lot, but if you find bugs feel free to email me them. I'd really appreciate it.
so "1.1" is the version of the whole thing, even if most of the packages haven't changed; as opposed to the usual way of versioning each package independently?

edit yep, looks like it: "an LTS Haskell release reduces it all to a single version number for "my Haskell ecosystem""
I always get forced to watch Google Play movies in SD and I have a late 2013 MacBook Pro. It's the main reason I use iTunes more than Google Play.

Straw man. Nobody has alleged a "massive conspiracy". What's being alleged is quite limited and can be substantiated.
Their C API is so much cleaner looking than the C++ one, imo. I avoided it so far thinking that once I want to use something not covered in the C API, I don’t want to do a big refactor. Is that a rational fear?
So it seems to do some pairing between your phone and chrome? Not really what I call a web version. A real web version would run on, you know, any reasonably recent web browser.

I have an unlimited Gigabit fibre to the home connection here at home, and I pay £60/month for it. My 'high score' so far was 1.4TB transferred one month but typical use is 600GB or so.

We are in a pretty unique situation here with a government minister betting big on switching our entire island's copper telephone lines over to fiber optics, part subsidised with taxpayer funds.

Changing the guidelines doesn't so much fix things as change where the lines are. You'll still see just as much "close-happy" behavior, just in different subjects.

The main reason for people subscribing to Spotify here in Europe is the mobile app. Which is great, the Desktop app is also great, I can bear the ads. But really, 10€/mo (120€ year) is cheap for the quantity of music-hours it provides.

The main reason for people not subscribing is they accommodated to not paying for music #1, and #2 the lack of big (and not so big) names in the catalog (Beatles, Metallica, Rammstein, etc)

Overall Spotify is a great service and I wish them best of luck. And I hope they start making money before Apple start eating their business through the iTunes-on-the-cloud which is sort of a dukenukem3d that never comes.
...particularly when compared to V8, which is a traditional method-at-a-time JIT compiler.

Actually, my understanding is that V8 automatically compiles all JS code on load, it has no interpreter. So in a sense it's "method at a time" (i.e. its methods are compiled as units, it's not a trace system) but it's not traditional, and you could make an argument that it's not even a JIT.

Incredible how many points this article gathers considering the valid arguments made in the comments[1]. There must be a lot of bad experience (or fear) with this platform.

Personally, I recently had my fair share of problems with the DownloadError, but I knew it would come up (because I read the documentation - and I concur with the limit for scaling reasons). So I built myself a failover decorator relaying the failing requests to a VPS.

Otherwise, I love GAE!

Idk if simply used by the wrong people is the right way to decide if we should ban a tool. If foreign spies use firefox and thunderbird should we fine mozilla?

We should be careful with sweeping generalizations, especially when in this case, it may rob us of the opportunity to achieve reconciliation via frank discussions with people of opposing views.

I agree, Java EE 6 is a huge improvement to older J2EE versions. I am going to spend some time next year helping a friend's company with a Java EE 6 project so I have recently spent a few evening brushing up on for a much improved platform. Not at all what I would consider to be agile but solid infrastructure that saves time on projects that require many components, high level error handling, uniform messaging, etc., etc.
The category is only six years wide. The oldest people in it entered the category in 2013; none of them were of age in 2008. Your thesis only makes sense if you state that the Great Recession induced/exacerbated employer discrimination against this particular group of people.
Hey! I would suggest following an existing tutorial with an adjacent concept and modifying it as close to your idea as possible. I am sure you can find a close enough one on medium or Udemy.
Home users/amateurs don't shoot narrative work, as a rule, just pictures of their kids.
