This will turn into a bureaucratic nightmare that increases the power of the existing cabal, most of whom already do not provide any meaningful code contributions.
Yes, except keys aren't distributed uniformly. Some people foolishly generate their random key using low-entropy seeds e.g. "English words". There are already people running scripts which look for these kind of easily-guessable keys in the wild; I've read reports from people getting their coins stolen because they used a stupid, guessable private key.

I'm from a developing nation who has a good tech career. I give a lot of credit to YouTube and Google for that. Denying that option to me is very costly. I'd rather have a censored version to nothing. It's just a pragmatic choice. However if Google is able to arm twist the government and remove the censor, nothing like it.

I worked at a startup that managed its own bare metal. It was very hard and time consuming. And when things went down it was on you. You needed a really good datacenter partner to make sure that they were on top of things and could drop things at a moment's notice. But you don't know how responsive they will be until you're actually experiencing an outage.

The level of convenience that cloud providers give is just orders of magnitude more efficient and easier.

Sure. Let's start with the police, and then we'll go after whichever next union is killing people across the country.

Edit: Your downvotes only make it more obvious that you don't really have a counterpoint to the police's homicidal tendencies nor their unions' participation in crafting legal protections for their actions.
Very much not the parent, but as a heavy R user, I don't think either of them quite nail the way dplyr and the tidyverse work. The thing about dplyr is... it's just functions. Okay, so, it's functions that leverage features R has (notably lazy evaluation and non-standard evaluation). But it's just functions. All you need is a function that takes a data frame and returns a data frame. So you can take a function out of the R standard library, you can take a function from a package written before dplyr came around, you can take a function from a recent non-tidyverse package, you can write your own function... it's all just functions.

In DataFramesMeta.jl, though, you have a macro, and everything runs inside that macro. So if you want to take something that isn't a part of DataFramesMeta.jl... here's an example. Let's say you want to take the popular mtcars dataset, and get the five cars with the best gas milage. In dplyr, that goes

mtcars %>% arrange(mpg) %>% head(5)

arrange is a function from the dplyr package, head is a function from the standard library, but they both work seamlessly together.

DataFramesMeta.jl lets you work in a pipe-forward fashion, but (at last I knew, at least, it's been a while since I played with it), you couldn't use the Julia head function within a DataFramesMeta.jl pipeline. You have to do your data transformations, assign to a variable, and then get the head of that variable.

Which, okay, probably doesn't sound like a big deal. But I think it gets at the heart of what efforts to do something Tidyverse-like in other languages (Python and Julia, mostly) really miss. The key value proposition of the Tidyverse in R is that it is very composable and very extensible. That means, if you are trying to solve something in a Tidyverse way, you can probably find something that works for you. If you are doing financial analysis? Get tidyquant. If you're doing time series analysis, the tidyverts packages are for you. And it all works because there is so little friction involved in writing your own functions that extend the functionality of Tidyverse packages. Yes, dplyr is a useful querying DSL in its own right, but you can find a bunch of SQLish query languages, and they're all some degree of fine. Query.jl or DataFramesMeta.jl might expose a useful querying DSL for data frames, but they don't seem to me to be built to support building a whole ecosystem like dplyr and the Tidyverse are.
I/O, not state (well they are the same thing mostly). Async, latency, concurrency, failure, effects
At the time I'm posting this, there are two comments related to the low carbon tech the article is about, the rest are about Chris Sacca and what he did. I for one, don't find much value in the latter, past the initial awareness of his past. Would it be possible to separate the two threads of conversation so one can participate in the thread that is most valuable for them and not waste time with the other?
They start mandating restrictions on input/output, what functions should be used for, and all kinds of other unnecessary nonsense.

Weird.

I or We, here in Eastern Europe do not talk about politics in work "seriously", just sometimes more or less random thoughts, it'd be viewed as unprofessional to talk about stuff like this unless you're very close with your co-workers who are very fine with some banter.

Our lives are already full of politix I don't want it at my job.

You may argue that politics is still there, indirectly at big companies, but it's still indirectly.

I'm not shaming you or anyone for taking drugs, not at all. I think drugs can be great and can do great things for a lot of people. I take certain drugs myself on occasion.

What I am trying to say is that someone might not be able to control their appetite, but they do have at least some control over the food they put in their body. I think that education on nutrition can go a much longer way for overall human health than appetite pills.
The impact on blood sugar is to reduce it, or so. That's not a bad thing. Diabetics that inject insulin (and/or take some other drugs) have to watch for low blood sugar, but it is high blood sugar that does most of the long term damage associated with diabetes.

Someone that frequently has low blood sugar should probably adjust their diet, but that's anyway going to be part of a weight loss regimen.
Have you read World War Z? It covers that very question in great detail.

One problem it highlights is that modern armies and military tactics are incredibly inefficient. The amount of fuel, munitions and calories they use for every kill is staggering. Also much of modern military tactics are based around putting on a massive show of force up front and hoping the enemy surrenders or retreats. That is not a problem if you only have to kill a few thousand people who's spirit to fight can be broken, and you're backed up by a fully functional logistics network. Remove the logistics network and face off against an 'army' of hunderds of thousands of enemies that will never retreat then those tactics will quickly see your fuel and munition stores depleted.

Towards the end of the book the Army has reinvented the infantry square and equipped all their soldiers with bolt action rifles to stop them wasting ammo.

While this is certainly a statement on the entrepreneurial spirit within ESPN, I think it is actually indicative of something else - the absolute homerun that Apple hit with the iPad.

This isn't a bug in the compiler or the JVM. The Java spec explicitly allows this optimization to happen. From The Java Language Specification (SE 7), section 12.6.1:

> Optimizing transformations of a program can be designed that reduce the number of objects that are reachable to be less than those which would naively be considered reachable. For example, a Java compiler or code generator may choose to set a variable or parameter that will no longer be used to null to cause the storage for such an object to be potentially reclaimable sooner.

Also, the "this" keyword is treated like a parameter. (See the end of section 2.6.1 of the JVM spec.)
The idea behind progressive enhancement is that you prioritize your features, and then make the most fundamental features of your site work without Javascript while still giving JS-enabled users something extra to play with.

So in your example - no, you would not send AJAX requests back to the server in a real-time search application. It would not be "real time" at all. But you would still be able to search, and get back results. Then you add JS, and you can search as you type.

Relatively few sites do it like this these days - in general, anything that's a SPA that talks to JSON won't work at all with JS disabled. It takes a good understanding of your tools and of your users to prioritize like this, as well as a good dose of humility. But it also often results in better usability and UX design overall, because you know which features are really key and which are "nice to haves", and you don't compromise key features for extras.
You'd be surprised at just how analog high speed digital is. The data represented by the signal is digital, but the signal over the wire is an analog waveform more complicated than simple high and low voltages. Poor cables can absolutely cause high BER and lower performance. If you've ever watched digital television over the air and seen the picture drop out, it's a similar thing.

A lot of the audiophile nonsense is only nonsense in its application to the ridiculously low frequency world of audio. But when we're dealing with transmission lines, yes, cables absolutely do matter.
It's a wonderful portmanteau, but the all important question is does the pronunciation split happen on B + Linux to emphasize 'Linux' or or Blin + ux to emphasize 'Blind'.
Assuming the FORTRAN77 was optimized for hardware circa a period when FORTRAN77 wasn't considered an ancient language, is it still optimized on modern hardware? Because it seems the vast increase in the relative importance of cache alone, not to mention the great changes in cache sizes, would make some optimizations fairly pessimal these days. (For example, loop unrolling blowing out I-cache.)
Wait. I didn't know this. They send inverse signals? Really? Does that mean that long cat-5 cables made with the wrong standard wont work on some equipment?!

Yes, some malicious actor could infiltrate the network theoretically. However, the point here is to have some 'oracle' or data point into the security of the broad array of crates/packages available.

I think that these aspirations for an electrosilico (pardon my neologisms) interface with the biological brain are a rather outdated nostalgia of the 20th century ninetys.(Vaporwave comes to mind).
Intersecting just 90 sensors with the insane mass of neurons... it seems rather clumsy primitive tech tbh.

If I was about to bet on the future I assume, that aspirations of hybridisation/creolisation/amalgamation of human&machine will happen on the biological register; that this development will go the other way round: from semiconductors to biotechnology. E.g. the brain is a fabulous architecture; damn effective and very low energy consumption at the same time.

Wich makes me think: A substantially useful AI that can immerse with neurological coginition (and not just be a fancier interface that safes you from carrying a calculator around), will probably need A LOT of computational power. Damn these things can't even steer a hand through useful movements while im typing a way in language (which is its own insane technology [1]) with quite some musicality.

What I mean is: Let's assume you could really supply the population with these interfaces and they really work. Who is going to be supplied with her/his own infrastructure of supercomputers running that AI that will merge with her/his cognition?
I don't think that it would be possible to supply even a marginal amount of the population with access to these entitys.
So this amounts to some dream of the (misunderstood version) of the Übermensch, as a caressing of the narcissitic hurt that the being of tekhne inflicts to some.

[1] It has been argued that language speaks. Not only do subjects speak language, but language also speaks subjects. (that's spoken through Heidegger). Thus there is something like a life of lanugage (it makes sense to think about if it is alife). Think of language as an AI.
I'd guess it's skewed towards the former.
Ever since Amazon Web Services nothing has ever been the same. Maybe one day we'll all go back to actually "owning" the software we buy instead of just timed licenses and logins.
The basic issue is lock-in. Ideally we'd have no lock-in, but that's a benefit balanced against other benefits (e.g. having a good UI, ease of setup and maintenance, enough scope for vendors to make money and stay in business). In practice this means we tolerate a certain amount of lock-in for other benefits.

But, the problem comes when everyone thinks that they can be the guy with the tolerable lock-in. Use MY video service -- anywhere, MY platform -- running on anything, MY app store -- on anyone.

Amazon's model is illustrative. It's hard to read non-Amazon content on a Kindle (harder than any other platform!) but easy to read Amazon content on any rival platform. They've been less successful with video because they aren't able to leverage their existing near-monopolies as well.
Enumerating some possibilities, here are things the hotel can do:

* Deauth jam nothing

* Deauth jam "evil twin" access points only

* Deauth jam above plus access points "similar" to the official wifi (have fun trying to prevent homoglyph attacks)

* Deauth jam all unofficial unencrypted access points (preventing an attack from monitoring probe requests and spinning up matching fake APs on the fly) perhaps with a whitelist of "known" nearby wireless networks to leave alone

* Deauth jam all unofficial WiFi (what they want to do)

There's not really much difference from a security standpoint between those last two, though I suppose someone could set up an encrypted rouge network like "FreeWifi - password is swordfish" and/or make flyers for their evil network.

Basically, I could empathize with them arguing to jam any open wireless networks, but jamming encrypted wireless networks in the name of security is a major stretch.
That sounds like essentially a good thing. The idea 1000 startups are likely to be better at innovating than one monolithic bureaucracy seems like a familiar one here on Hacker News.
A friend of mine has just joined apple in a systems role and can't believe what a mess it is behind the scenes. He described it as being like "1000 startups all working on their own thing but owned by the same parent company" (with all the cross-group communication mayhem that implies).

It says right there you have to setup your wi-fi password on the device, so that's (kinda) clear.

Manufacturing cost can be off-loaded to the product makers: the buttons look branded, so if you are Tide you are paying something like $20/40 bucks to get a constant Tide logo inside my cupboard and getting the path of least resistance for purchases... if you've ever dealt with marketing numbers, that's not bad at all!
>It will not be eradicated while capital rules societies because it depends on it.

Historically, the rule of capital has been the greatest reducer of poverty across centuries and countries. The rule of anything other than capital has been the most assured way to increase poverty.
Although I agree with the conclusion (have several small projects in addition to a "big" one), I think the intro is off.

> It takes ten-thousand hours to master your field, so the story goes, except that programming is too broad of a field.

If you've put in ten-thousand hours into the field of programming, you'll not need to put in another ten-thousand if you switch from, say, a vector-drawing tool to a music composition software. Yeah, you might miss some stuff like everything related to audio - but picking up the concepts and one or two related APIs should be two or three orders of magnitude quicker than "I'm learning to program".

Learning new concepts and APIs is meta-skill, and one will become better at it the more different concepts and APIs one has used.

You'll also need domain knowledge, of course. Again, working with domain experts and users is a meta-skill that you may want to train (or you may depend on someone in your team to do most of that for you, e.g. a Product Owner).

So, if someone has "mastered programming", she should be able to be dropped into an unknown domain and have the skill to identify and pick up the parts she is missing in a fraction of the time it took to "master programming". Mastery of a skill means the switching costs between domains is significantly reduced, but not zero. Same is true for a carpenter: Building a ship is different from building a house or a bridge, yet a master of carpentry will be able to pick up the skill of building a ship more quickly than, say, a master of programming would.

Most fields are too broad to know "everything" about, that is not specific about programming.
Play is the natural state of life. It’s a better question to ask why everything else is so staid and un-fun.

While unbiased eye-witness testimony might be well unreliable, the story mostly shows DA and corruption.

He got out of jail by showing the people who testified against him were quite biased indeed - They were "motivated" to act by police and DA threats and the DA had systematically lied concerning this process...

It's also rather heart-rending to read how he had to engage in fraud to discover the truth and naturally this fraud was then held against his appeal....
