>but stopping everyone on an interstate to talk with them is insane overreach.

Especially when they aren't really looking for drunks, but people like your father to victimize as police fundraiser.

Anything that monetizes police action will lead to massive abuse. It blows my mind people won't accept that. The cops and the unions aren't stupid. They want that money for salary, pensions, and toys. The politicians want that funding without having to raise taxes.

So now the electorate is literally being bullied and mugged by the police. I'm really starting to like the lame-duck version of Obama. His recent moves are very much needed: encouraging municipal fiber, workers leave rights, sanctioning Russia, immigration amnesty, etc.
I worked in automative for lots of years. Up until around 2010 SH4 was mostly the dominating architecture for infotainment systems. Either with Windows CE or QNX running on top of it. Due to long development and product cycles as well as software reuse new cars with SH processors might have been released up to much later points in time.
Quite possible that they used frames before and that the notes were displayed on the side of the text. Now you have to use the back button to go back to the main text.

I understand that there are a number of version of Ulysses. I wonder if it would be possible to compare these versions.

There is a wealth of information on this website, but I am afraid that there is no other way to access it then through the given interface.
I am also referring to what is.

Law does not operate in a vacuum.

And, I am saying it is more effective to give all the forces regulating behavior consideration.
This looks really good. Are there any plans for 3D if things stay successful?
This is a bit off topic, but I like to add an observation. You assume in your post that someone could go all out on something the person doesn't care about. For me, that is not possible. Most likely also not for OP. But the possibility seems self evident, giving your post. I assume you are a person high in consciousness IRL? In any case, people are truly different from time to time.
> Which is only practically possible if it was a weak password.

Back in 2016, hashcat could achieve 200 billion hash crack attempts per second on commodity hardware: https://gist.github.com/epixoip/a83d38f412b4737e99bbef804a27...

That can crack all alphanumeric 8-character passwords in 18 minutes, and all 9-character alphanumeric+symbol passwords in just 10 days!

Then consider that there are precomputed rainbow tables that have had far more computer power thrown at them, and suddenly MD5 starts looking more like a "light obfuscation" than a true cryptographic hash...
Another way is to comment and show support in a way that is not linked to your real identity. If people try to claim these are fake accounts, point out how people fear to show support publicly.
Sorry, that part is relatively new and poorly documented.

Choosy is sort of vtable-ish. It selects between method implementations (which all have the same signature), typically based on cpuid (e.g. if the CPU is SSE4.2+PCLMUL capable, set foo = foo_x86_sse42; if not, use the default foo impl).

up (the private method) just implements update (the public method). Only private methods can be choosy.
A nice project to show that computers and internet technologies can be useful to literature teachers. Its a shame that its possible since the 90's and still not a standard way of learning complex texts in school.
"The world at the beginning of the 20th century seemed for most of its inhabitants stable and relatively benign. Globalizing, booming economies married to technological breakthroughs seemed to promise a better world for most people."

From the description of Niall Ferguson's The War of the World.
The US Government asserts a copyright to its works in other countries. It's only with respect to US federal law that government works are not copyrightable.
I disagree. The primary job for both groups is UX. The secondary job is making sure that the product communicates that it is solving the target market's problem, and at what price.

A top tier PM is little different to a hacker - they're there to get a dozen prototypes out a week, and hone in on what works. A good startup PM would also be doing it faster than a hacker - user interviews, PowerPoint presentations, drawings on napkins, debates, Coda/Squarespace/Google Docs.

A designer is there to communicate the solution. Good UI builds user trust, especially something like a bank, where a glitch throws off confidence. Good UX helps to keep customer confidence long enough and upsell further things.

A bazillion times this!

Fabrice Bellard is a "programming god" in my opinion :-) The man has done so many different and complicated things that it is mind-blowing. Nobody else even comes close. I really would like to understand his thought processes and way of working. What drives him? How does he approach design and implementation? What are his thoughts on "Software Engineering"? Etcetra, Etcetra ...

Somebody needs to do a proper in-depth interview with him and get him to write a book. There is a brain i really would like to know :-)
Pontcysyllte is magical, not least thanks to its setting in delightful countryside.

Barton Swing Aqueduct is in an unattractive patch of urban Manchester, but impressive in engineering terms. It’s a canal-over-canal bridge which can swing aside to let big ships through:

Oh man, the world needs Moderation as a Service so damn badly. Bookmarked for if I ever get off my ass and build something; I would rub this all over a Reddit clone in a heartbeat if I could.

The current model on certain platforms of user-based moderation is so obviously a series of badly-constructed band-aids on top of other, even worse band-aids. I got to /r/soccer first so I must know how to keep it clean from rage porn?! Insane. Pushing that cost (mental and time) onto users is reckless and dangerous to your company.

It's about time someone stepped into this. I'm rooting for y'all.
I use one of the Dakine backpacks. I found them to be really good quality, decent price (<£100) and good looking.

I use it for everything. Travelled around the world, went to my parent's place over weekend, for work, ...
those things are figured out centuries ago via iterated optimisation.
It is not hard but it hasn't caught on because having userspace scripts or daemons running tagging and indexing passes on the files in an existing file system is nowhere near transparent. Even if you use inotify or something to keep track of teh changses in real time, the illusion of transparency will leak sooner than later. And that's when your users' confidence and trust will vanish into the air.

Indexing has to be built in to the filesystem to make the searchs match the state of the filesystem 1-in-1. There's no other way.

I've seen this working live only in the Be Filesystem, or BFS. There you can be sure that if you add an image somewhere, another view of the filesystem will instantly contain the new file and removing it will again banish the image from all other views. The file either exists or doesn't, and you will never notice that a search returned information that isn't no more.
If you are running database locally, then bind the daemon to localhost only, otherwise bind it to a non routable private address. Problem solved.
Interesting thought experiment. This seems repugnant at face value. Would it be equally repugnant to have a scholarship restricted to Computer Science majors? How about a scholarship restricted to high academic achievers? What types of "discrimination" are OK? Where is the line drawn?
I've spent the last 3.5 years building a platform for "information applications". The key observation which prompted this was that hierarchical file systems didn't work well for organising information within an organisation.

However, hierarchy itself is still incredibly valuable. People think in terms of hierarchies - it's just that they think in terms of multiple hierarchies and an item will almost always belong in more than one place in those hierarchies.

If you allow users to describe items in the way which makes sense to them, and then search and browse by any of the terms they've used, then you've eliminated almost all the frustrations of a file system. In my experience of working with people building complex information applications, you need:

* deep hierarchy for classifying things
* shallow hierarchy for noting relationships (eg "parent company")
* multi-values for every single field
* controlled values (in our case by linking to other items wherever possible)

Unfortunately, none of this stuff is done well by existing database systems. Which was annoying, because I had to write an object store.
I guess Democrats learned from November 2010 defeat and now would focus on what they were elected for in 2008 -- cleaning up mess in Iraq.
I think the most common way to organize data these days is Google.

And Google is nowhere near hierarchical.
It is not pure fiction. I also send transactions semi-frequently in those ranges and have never had an issue. Sure, I have not sent them to Africa and that might be where the differences in experiences lie.
With respect, and without any particular knowledge of your experiences, I would suggest that your impression of "red" and "white" wine is shaped by very typical examples of both.

There is an incredibly broad array of flavor, mouth feel, aromas, etc., in both red and white wine and while you and I might very reliably discern a Napa Chardonnay from an Argentine Malbec there are many white and red wines that are well off the spectrum of what we think of as "red" and "white" wines.

I have done a lot of wine tasting all over the world and I am certain you could fool me with regard to red vs. white - if you chose interesting and unconventional examples ...
Awesome, those kind of terminal interface look like what the future would have been according to the scifi movies I watched when I was a kid!
I believe Taleb sees the death of less fit offspring a small pain vs. the increased survival of fitter offspring - a big gain because it compounds with generations.

Strangely, it also means that with the big brain and low numbers of offspring per pregnancy, human evolution itself turned away from high-mutation, high number of trials convex exploration to a more conservative exploitation of existing benefits.

Are we already that close to the best we genetically could be?
I regret & apologise for using unsavory words in the above comment.
They are both going towards the "Data Lakehouse" end point which is driving some of the convergence. Silly term, but basically providing analytics and a database type experience over a data lake.

That said, Databricks is a much broader platform, with all of the collaboration environments and is generally much more programmable than Snowflake.
Actually Bitcoin keeps moving the goalposts. First it's a currency, next it's a trustless auditable log. All I need for trustless is auditability. All I need for auditability is a public Merkle Tree. I fail to see what actual real world value the PoW and associated approaches actually add.
Again if the OC was a frontline worker we wouldn’t be having this conversation.
I used to thing c++/rust was bad. Then I did some FPGA work and it was quite painful waiting for rebuilds :) . I even appreciated c++/rust build times a bit more after that. Waiting an hour before being able to test your code will definitely make you cognizant of dotting your i's and crossing your t's in new code. We had a design that filled almost 80% of the chip and had pretty strict timing (near the limit of the chip) and it took it quite a while for the fitter to meet the timing requirements.
I don't think expenses count towards a deductible unless it was related to an insurance claim in the first place.

If I have a $5k deductible, I could pay cash and claim it was $5k for anything, and that now the insurance companies needs to start paying their share. I'm sure they wouldn't like that.
Are you frequently on a unix platform without python? Just out of interest.

I agree its nice to see a variety of languages. Gives a fresh perspective on how to do things.
A piece of trivia: "Bernard L. Madoff Investment Securities" is listed as a well-known example of a sell-side dealer (the publishing date is 2002). Understandably, some other firms no longer operate under their listed names.
Either way uber has a serious competitive advantage over taxis.
Yeap, the only way of dealing with a subpar language full-time is doing something in a cool language on side.
All of that is eccentricity compared to Columbus' very real crimes against humanity that he committed during his voyages. He enslaved huge numbers of people and put them to work in forced labor under brutal conditions. It was so egregious that the Spanish had to remove him from his governorship. He should rightly be one of the most controversial figures in history. Comparing him to anyone in modern history (except maybe Stalin or Hitler) is at best an insult.

There are plenty of other people who are comparable to Musk, obviously not the same in every way, but similar in certain respects. Steve Jobs and Bill Gates come to mind, Jobs more than Gates. Henry Ford. Andrew Carnegie. In an odd way, Ray Jardine. Nikola Tesla.

Impressive despite the performance issues - I got OK FPS but it tended to stutter. I'm using a cheapie GPU though.
Right you are; I did that and was able to see a bunch of stuff I'd not want to share over the web. :)

Sheesh. Ruby runs over 3000, if you're not running the ruby server on 3000 there's not going to be anything listening.

Facepalm.
Agreed.

If your language is, ipso facto, saying Yes, then the core language can be left alone and features can be built by those who need them.

Sort of like assembly. :-)
> What your government is currently offering for health care is completely and utterly unacceptable beyond belief. It's your job to make them change it.

Many of us argue that it's reprehensible that government is "offering" healthcare at all. We are protesting, though :)
If you don't want to study a whole new language or giant textbook, you might get some intellectual mileage from checking out the Reactive Extensions for .NET, which is an extremely slick implementation of functional reactive programming in C#, and implementing some simple applications like a game or two with it.

If you don't know anything about FRP, you might find it somewhat mind-expanding. It focuses on treating input as a continuous, manipulable stream of events. It integrates rather elegantly with C#'s functional libraries and interfaces.

(This is assuming you have a fair amount of experience with C#, or else you'll probably spend more time learning the language than FRP.)

I usually find it easier to start with a project I want to build, and then learn whatever it takes to make it happen. There's so much to learn that it really is a personal preference.
> remote work trend might end up being terrible for wealthy countries

I don't think so. Most wealthy countries don't have jobs paying anything close to what Americans make. When you're talking about tech, the division is really just between America and everyone else. This is going to be really great for Canadians who don't want to immigrate to the states since there's almost no difference in talent, culture, or time zone compared to the USA but wages are about half as much at the top end.
Better than, say, Transferwise or XE.com? Can you explain how?
It's heartbreaking to read articles like this where the author _almost_ gets it, and then swerves off at the last second into "but there's nothing we can do, so shut up in case it gets worse."

Absolutely, it's not easy to unionize, organize, and work towards change, but we don't have to _just accept_ offensive payment practices, working conditions, and side-effects from globalism.
One of the most important things I learned in life, and I'm really glad I learned it early, is that if you want something, ask for it. The worst that can happen is that the other person says no.
>Just because someone can make a successful product/company doesn't mean they are worldly or wise.

Yet HN completely ignores this and upvotes content when it's someone who reflects their own values
The funny thing is, the critiques of Marcuse, Foucault and the like are 100% applicable to these status and sinecure seekers in the academy. They are worth reading for this reason alone.

Lindsay defends the old-academy classical liberalism. The sort of gentlemanly debate that arises from such values is good, but only possible between people with a collegial relationship who both prefer truth over power. They cannot be used against enemies. When dealing with enemies, one must bring weapons, and the postmodernist weapons can be made to work in anyone's hands.
I don't think that's true. See, for example,https://www.brookings.edu/blog/the-avenue/2019/11/22/for-the...
That won't stop these people. It's the same discussion as the interpreted languages vs compiled languages or the editor flame wars.

On one hand you have people that say "thinking takes a lot longer than waiting a bit for compilation or actually editing source code" (I'm in this camp) and people that go "I don't want to wait for compilation and I want my editing to be hyper-efficient even if I have to invest hundreds and thousands of hours into it, so that I'm always in the zone/in the flow".

People are just different but every camp thinks They're Right and The Others Are Dumb and Stupid And Dangerous.

My personal guess is that besides the split in personalities/workflows, there's also a difference in projects. People who work on existing projects tend to read a ton more code/docs/team comms/architectural diagrams and edit/compile less so they care less about these issues. People who constantly create tons of mini-projects with short lifecycles care more about them.
I use Evernote. Because it can handle multiple types of content. The most useful information I keep in there are tutorials. Mostly written by me. How to do things that I only have to do a few times a year. Basically recipes for anything, not just food. The stuff I do repeatedly I just remember or automate.

Passwords are a good example of this. I can deduce them(based on a formula), but I don't want to do that every day, so I use 1Password.

But it's not bad to just forget. There are quotes, links, funny pics in my Evernote that I've never used. So I'm now much more selective in my note taking. It's less stressful.
I don't totally agree. I think that factoring in the risk of exposure leaves a CA root with a worse price / performance ratio versus an individual cert.

While you could use a faux CA root to sign faux certs for any site you want (ideally ones who are customers of that CA), in practice your use is severely limited. If faux certs are spotted and no one knows where they came from, suspicions are going to be raised. Not only is your faux CA root compromised, but now you may have tipped your hand regarding your capabilities.

To limit that possibility, your attacks would have to be extremely targeted. The more often a fake cert is used and the more people exposed to it, the higher the likelihood that someone will notice what is going on.

It also doesn't help you decrypt the real traffic to the site, or historical traffic, which busting the site's actual SSL key can yield. This presumes that you have a way of intercepting said traffic, but I think it's pretty clear that that is not out of the question (public wifi / ISP cooperation / fiber optic taps / malware). It's more work to bust individual certs, but you're leaving a smaller trail and you aren't sending out examples of your RSA cracking capabilities to your opponents over the public Internet.

Lowering the risk of exposure will let an attacker use the same methods over a much longer period of time, which I think is the goal here.

As to how to combat this: there is a lot of low hanging fruit. Besides the obvious, I would love to see much shorter expiration times for certs become the norm (as in weeks, if not days). For this to realistically happen in a widespread fashion, at minimum CAs need to embrace the concept from a pricing perspective.
> recent history suggests

Could you be a little more specific? What "recent history" are you talking about? As far as I am aware some basic income experiments proved to be successful. See Mincome for example.
So many "diplomats' certs" are used in machines by Crypto AG from Switzerland. And guess what, they had one major incident years ago - and even people working there have simply no clue who owns and control the company.

I'd say most of commercial crypto systems are rigged.

We could just as easily say that relying completely on Heroku is irresponsible to our own users.

Just as Heroku took responsibility for the unexpected weaknesses their reliance on a single region created, I believe their customers should take responsibility for the unexpected weaknesses our reliance on a single hosting provider has created.

Heroku still has the value of added resiliency, even if it's not 110% bulletproof. Ultimately, we're responsible for the architecture design of our own sites.
I notice that they do not examine the financial condition of other states that have referendums (e.g. North Dakota). California's problems are more a story of "group voting".
