I've used bcrypt [http://bcrypt-ruby.rubyforge.org/] in the past. Automatically handles a salt, and you can "tune" the number of iterations, so you can pick the cost. You can make it so the hash function takes 300ms on fast hardware, which limits the rate that an attacker can brute-force your database.

Edit: Wrote up this comment before the one about scrypt. It also looks nice, but it looks like there's no or only primitive language bindings available.
It doesn't really matter that much. The fired employee has to exercise the options, and they often don't have the money or want to take the risk.
The data URI hack is quite clever.

However, the UI aspect of instant preview lead me to disable it. There are times I'd like a quick preview of a site, but not every time I happen to mouse over something.

Currently, simply clicking on what seems like innocuous plain text puts the results page in preview mode, and it gets annoying fast.

Google does something similar in Google Reader. Clicking on some preview text loads that item. It's completely unnecessary since you can just click the title of an item to load it. Turning large areas of a Web page into links is disrupting on a page meant for perusal and decision.
How does the scalability offered by Heroku compare to this? Does Heroku let you interface with RDS if you outgrow their db offerings?
Sounds interesting. I have been reading Aurelius's "Meditations", but something like this targeted at the modern reader might be easier to digest.
I haven't seen such a shining example of, "This response has been vetted by legal and PR" in quite a long time.
You can easily calculate that using the charset and the time it took to crack a 6 character password.
6 character passwords with 95 different characters per digit take 49 minutes (Utilizing one machine and using CUDA-Multiforcer). 7 digits would mean 49*95=4655 (77 hours). But remember: The common password does not use special chars, so the actual number can be much lower.
I really like the worldbuilding, but I don't think it's any more "realistic" than a fantasy novel or galactic empire science fiction. In particular, the complicated governance stuff is in there because it's fun, not because it would actually work. There is straight-up magic as well as ambiguous possibly-magic.
Alt-right people. Enough of this red pill / blue pill stuff. The relevant Matrix quote is this: What good is a phone call if you are unable to speak?
Hello, author here. As I hint to in this article, explaining or teaching "what a monad is" is fallacious. Given that each monad requires 400–2000 words to teach in its most basic form, explaining the most common monads in a single article would make that article around 15 pages long.

That is way out of scope of this article, but perhaps suitable for five other separate articles. I'll have to think about it! Meanwhile, I'm sure you can Google search for Stack Overflow questions on Maybe, Either, List and other monad types to get used to them.

You can imagine it a little like walking up to a musician and asking, "Will you please teach me the musical instruments?" The answer you get will be filled with counter-questions: "Do you know any musical instrument? What kind of instrument are you interested in? Can you read sheet music?"

(Or, for that matter, try asking an OOP programmer, "Teach me the Gang of Four patterns, please!" It will elicit a similar response, not a 15-page blog post. ;) )
While I am doing some of these things, the Luddites didn't have much of an influence over the industrial revolution, they were discarded in the dustbin of history along with anyone who stood in the way of increased profits and globalization.

What I often see is that most individuals see that the benefits outweigh the negatives (all the people that say "I have nothing to hide." over and over) of safety over privacy, and specters can be brought up to increase this fear of the unknown until you are going to have to fight against your friends and neighbors instead of the government to get any change in place.
Yes you can - at least my experience of seeing some Chinese guards (e.g. outside an embassy) is that they don't blink.

This article claims 1 hour shifts of not blinking for a guard: https://www.recruiter.com/i/blinking-on-the-job-not-allowed-...
I don't think HN is the best forum for this kind of question.
So is it worth investing time in this to see if there are any practical applications?
It's something I have just started, I am getting the first edition ready now :) I will have it as a sample on the site once done.
There are always trade offs. Sure, you can live without electricity or running water and I'm certain some people argue that this has many benefits. For the average person however, the downsides outweigh the benefits by a huge margin.

Not owning a smart phone also has downsides and benefits. Many people however aren't really aware that downsides exist, so the benefits, however small they may be seem like a justification to buy one. I think it makes sense to be critical of the things you use and spend some time thinking about whether you really think that they benefits are worth the costs.
Really great idea - I'll definitely be listening.
We are so frikkin lucky that this research was already done!
Here's an example of a guy who wasn't allowed to board a plane because his shirt had Arabic on it: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/national-tariff-p...

I'm sure you'll find many other examples. They mostly don't get arrested, but they certainly suffer unjustifiable abuse. And keep in mind that the TSA can't arrest people, only hand them over to the local police.
I'm glad someone else feels the same way. My angle is: these ads expect people to give up all their personal details, without revealing any of their own. I'm sure they miss out as a result. (One posting sounded almost spammy - "we're the next big social network" etc etc. No-one's gonna respond to that unless they know who you are, can check a website etc).

Edit: or maybe that's the point - if you don't know who the poster is, you're not worthy of applying.

Answerers on Quora seem to agree that Apple is undervalued by the market based on a fundamental analysis: http://www.quora.com/Is-Apple-AAPL-a-value-stock-now

Seems like the point of the article is sound, though did anyone else find it muddled in the middle? Seemed like there was some circular or backwards reasoning, like that Apple's potential future growth makes its past growth likely to continue, or that Apple's cash increases the stock's value even if you ignore its cash.

My own take on investing in "growth" stocks is generally that I'm not going to bank on already-hyped companies being under-hyped, like betting that while everyone thinks Google will grow X big amount forever, it's actually even bigger amount Y! Not very contrarian. However, it's possible the market doesn't quite realize just how successful Apple is being right now.
Especially when it comes to wordpress plugin land. I've done a few freelance projects in wordpress-land, and for what would seemingly be normal additions in functionality there certainly existed "five-star" plugins that almost got you to where you needed to be. Except they did everything in a non-ACID database table (or wholly non-wordpress-oriented). Or they weren't extensible at all. Or they were unmaintained piles of crap. Usually I ended up throwing my hands up in desperation and writing my own, customer-specific plugin that would get the job done.

If the average PHP library is untested and undocumented, they're a couple steps ahead of the average Wordpress library.

(also, I might say, the Wordpress documentation is horrific. Hell, the entire structure of that project is horrific to work within. It's built to be easy for noobs ["the loop"], but makes it difficult to keep anything organized or nicely packaged)
Actually I built the site so I can create the channels. :)

The site is in beta now. Letting viewers to create their own channels and own feeds is in the plan. There are two areas of viewer customization. One is to create viewer's own channel list, assigning the channels to the backend video feeds. This allows the viewer to narrow from hundreds of channels down to a dozens of favorites. Another area is to let registered user create video feeds from Youtube, mixing and matching videos. The new feed can then be assigned to a viewer's channel.

I'd love to hear any feedback or suggestion as I'll go ahead to build the rest of the site.
The docbook source for the core library is actually available in a sort of online wiki editor thing, so in theory anyone can improve it. Unfortunately, I've forgotten the URL and I can't find it via Google.
Why can't people borrow in foreign countries? Mortgages in Germany seem to be below 0.7% atm.
How is it documented if there is so software developers manual for the ISA, optimisation manual for the uarch, and no documentation at all on how the subsystems like the neural accelerator works let alone how to access it.

I assume you mean that Apple have it internally, but I wouldn't assume it's any good.

I would also love to see someone (I haven't got and can't afford one) try and fuzz it for undocumented instructions.
You are entirely correct that this is helpful. But you don't need to go to Haiti.

3000 W. Madison in Chicago is two miles from the nation's second most important financial district and it is still burned out exactly as it was three days after Dr. King was assassinated.

OP's use of the term incompetence is correct. It certainly rises to that level when kids in Cambridge, MA and their senator think 50k student loan forgiveness is somehow progressive and moral. I mean compare the per capita benefit in Cambridge to that block of Chicago or to rural WV, MS, or some Reservations.
I think you might be surprised by how many people don't really use those platforms to any significant extent and, to the degree they do use them, it's mostly for entertainment and staying in touch with friends.

I honestly don't see that.
As do China, Russia, and NATO. Why single out Israel?
I believe that AI will accelerate creativity. This will have a side effect of devaluing some people's work (like you mentioned), but it will also increase the value of some types of art and, more importantly, make it possible to do things that were impossible before, or allow for small teams and individuals to produce content that were prohibitively expensive.
If you think YouTube not providing their hardware and software for a a non-paying customer to use is "CeNsOrShIp" then I don't know what to tell you.

Interesting point. Is there any country that has system tending towards this?
The article lacks IMO the most gruesome tool that was used for processing penguins, the penguin press:

https://ssz.fr/brdl/presse-manchots.jpg

I took it on Kerguelen island, that's not a very good picture but you get the idea, a nice engineering detail is that the handle that turns the spiked rollers also has a blade and slices the pressed penguins into smaller slices.

Most of the time though (at least on Kerguelen) penguins were only used as fuel to render seal oil. The penguin oil itself was not used as much because it was less valuable.

Edit here's another picture of the same tool which better shows it maybe:

This feels like an important development for Windows users that want to try Rails. (Assuming it works on IE)
From the column alignment and page number alignment, it looks to me to be typeset to be double-sided but clipped / stapled. And I agree that most of the decisions work in favor rather than against.

I disagree with ancestor comment that the author "breaks" their figure placement; it's done so that figures can be typeset to take up either text-width or page-width, depending on which is preferable for the figure.

I don't get why it's cool to use NPM, a static site generator and netlify for an emergency website.
Solving Zoom’s Dark Pattern no 1... great work!
An alternative view on this is to realize that being a non-judgemental sounding board often provides much greater value to your conversation partner than offering advice. I often find that people who are having trouble with something already know what the best solution is and simply need to build up enough confidence in their own reasoning to act on it.
This assumes that people have infinite money, infinite demand, infinite space, and infinite time.

But there are diminishing marginal returns.

Check your local retailers today and see if they’re still sold out of toilet paper.
Definitely no more bugs than its contemporaries.

But MacOS does handle low memory conditions much better than Windows does.

MacOS (on apple hardware) does have the benefit of optimised fan curves and undervolted CPU profiles which would be hard to replicate in Linux though.

How do you handle the super-long paths npm is so fond of? On Windows I often run into issues when searching or trying to manipulate a solution containing anything npm due to too-long paths.
There are just way too many exogenous variables to any exchange within a market to give an individual credit for success. As a founder, I know that my inputs and the inputs of my team are necessary but not sufficient to achieving market/financial success.

I think we need to be addressing instead the problem of causality as relates to success and trying to decouple success from individual inputs.
Disclaimer: I am primarily a systems guy, and extremely green in all things web.

Why wouldn't a concept of "event inheritence" be valuable here? Pointer events could be both touch or click events; and the consumer can chose due to the type specified which they want to fire on.

I understand this isn't the model that events have been built under in web proper, but if I'm grokking the conflict here (there's a large chance I'm missing some key point, even reading the spec took some hand waving to put it together in my head) it's largely constrained by the inflexibility of what an event is.

(I'd be very curious for any sort of "why I'm wrong" or "why this isn't feasible/desirable")

I worked at two McDonalds, both in the Seattle area, 20+ years ago. The first one was in Mill Creek (a rich area south of Everett), the cops weren't allowed to take discounts. The second place was in downtown (3rd and Pine); we literally couldn't stay open without hiring an off duty officer. Hiring went through the SPD and was tightly regulated.

Offering a cop discounted food to hang out at your restaurant means, while taxpayers are flipping the bill, somewhere else isn't being covered as well. Hiring an off duty cop for part time security work, in contrast, doesn't reduce coverage.

There is tons of proof, from both Turkish/Ottoman and external sources, not matter how much you deny it.
From what I recall, most cars in Japan have door side mirrors, but taxis typically have fender mirrors for better blind spot coverage. I think I have seen a few cars with both door and fender side mirrors.

Always has been the message, right from Microsoft to Apple to Twitter. I expect Uber will do the same - they're just in the "let's open up our API to make the world a better place la la " phase now. As soon as someone builds a breakout app on their API, they'll eat it.
The questions that people sharing your position unfortunately don't ask themselves are different. Try "What actions can Israel do to change it" and "what will this result in", for starters.

Try to put yourself in Israel's place. Just imagine it for a minute. Israel disengaged from Gaza 10 years ago. What did it get in return? More security? Less attacks? Better relationship with organisations governing the territory? Would answers to these questions encourage you (you're in Israel place, remember) to make more steps like this?
Why not? What is the crucial difference, from the unauthorised intrusion POV? "This should not happen, therefore it cannot happen" is not an appropriate response here. http://www.infosecisland.com/blogview/16696-FACT-CHECK-SCADA...

(Note that I didn't mention anything about webservers, or Internet; are you sure the in-flight entertainment systems are separated from the control network by anything else than a firewall rule?

Dropbox has great integration on mobile apps. I don't recall more than a few of my apps having integration beyond Dropbox and iCloud.

I don't know about Android, but I really hope iOS moves towards a generic cloud storage interface so that competitors can more easily get traction, but I know this isn't in Apple's interest.
The other side does the same. Here is the story. I have a client - small market research company, covering Russia. I made bilingual website for them. When Ukrainian conflict started, their Russian contact form was heavily abused by some pro-Ukrainian trolls, posting physical threats to company employees (UK-based, by the way). I coded check against vocabulary, but it appeared, trolls were restlessly trying to bypass my hidden rules for business conversation. It took a week of polishing vocabulary rules. And I added math captcha. In the end I won. They even wrote me a give up letter. Their IPs were mostly Polish and French.

UPD: The hosting was US-based. So they were deliberately looking for Russian forms.
I never said "with lisp, everyone has to come up with their own syntax for commonly-needed things". But it sounds your mind is already made up by hypothetical prejudices.

You said you stick with Clojure over Scheme on account of some syntax. I said you can have that syntax in Scheme. You then said the non-sequitur "the idea I created in my mind of each individual user coming up with their own syntax is absurd", which I agree with. I don't know what to tell you but you seem confused. What you said is not a response to what I told you. I eliminated the difference you complained about, and you complained that in Scheme it's possible to solve the issue you have with it.

There's no pleasing some people.
Good enough, ship it!

> Amazon fees are 40-50%. I've seen a seller almost cry watching amazon take over $140 in fees out of a $300 transaction

That's a little exaggerated. My company sells a lot of stuff on Amazon... for a Pro Merchant account ($40 a month and gets you no per-item listing fees), Amazon commission rates are based on which selling category you list your items in... they range from 10% - 30% generally, but do fluctuate from time to time. For any items on Amazon that is listed at or less than $6 there is a minimum commission rate of $1 or $2 depending on the category (the reason most cheaper items have disappeared from amazon lately).

Regardless, you have to bake the Amazon commission rate into your sale price, otherwise you will lose money.

It's often considered an "insider secret" that almost everything listed on Amazon is more expensive than if you just did a search for the seller's actual website. Few people do this, and a lot of people just assume Amazon is cheaper always (which is absurdly false).

The pricing formula is often:

product cost * 2 == your normal markup for selling on your website

Amazon formula is often:

(product cost * 2 ) / (1 - commission rate in decimal)

So, say you acquire a product for $10. Your website will probably list it for $20 retail price. On Amazon (assuming a 20% commission rate) you will likely list it for $25 (10 * 2 / .80 = $25)

Amazon then takes their 20% commission cut ($5 in this case), which leaves you back at your original target retail price, $20.

The customer eats the Amazon commission fee.
That's why I self-deprecatingly concluded with "(aye, there's the rub)". My thinking is irredeemably worldly if not outright myopic. Then there's the futility of "setting an example" -- when I was young and poor, would I listen to or learn from someone like my older self? Doubtful. The exaggerated bravado of a Jay-Z was more meaningful, that is, fuel for meditations.

So, away from rationality and towards Romanticism? In any case, I contend that our smug, enlightened "emotionally intelligent" society wears no clothes as far as treatment of the poor is concerned. It looks a lot more emotional than intelligent.
Sadly, most jobs meet the definition of "shitty". Likely only the top 20% or so of any industrialized country will have people working jobs that could be described as satisfactory and enjoyable. It is a reflection of modern societies, where a significant percentage of their populations are considered disposable trash or the majority of its citizens are dissatisfied with what they must do for a living.
