I would love to see a few examples from the printer cheat sheet. I'm sure this would be helpful in structuring user manuals and other documentation.
You can do a lot just with A/B testing prominence of products.
Note when he traditionally published, he was only an outlier in how much he busted his ass to get in front of people and help make sales.

His level of being an outlier in the ebook publishing many feel is tied to all the people who already read him from his traditional publishing days.
Sinatra is a great very simple Ruby framework based off of Rack.

It's great for making simple apps that don't need the complexity of Rails.

Kohana is my favorite PHP framework. It is very similar to Rails and makes working with PHP very pleasant.

The "This American Life" segment about a particular 419 baiting feat is incredibly amusing and a little sad: http://www.thisamericanlife.org/radio-archives/episode/363/e...
John Ogbu, a Nigerian-American anthropologist, conducted research on this subject.

And no one was able to replicate his findings. Even Roland Fryer, who is a proponent of the "acting white" theory concluded "We, like Ferguson (2001), Cook and Ludwig (1997), and Ainsworth-Darnell and Downey (1998), find scant empirical support for the oppositional culture hypothesis described in Fordham and Ogbu" in http://www.economics.harvard.edu/faculty/fryer/files/Empiric...

What do you think it means when you lose an election, and then try to disrupt the democratic process with the goal of having the loser of the election retain power?
Unfortunately the alternative to aging seems like it is cancer. If cells become immortal or continue to reproduce, then we get cancer.

So no, we don’t have to grow old, we can die young with cancer.
Not really. If you can spoof a uniform you can spoof a sticker.

And given it’s not a reliable negative identifier, it’s probably not a huge help anyway.

if you want to have a laugh, check the news section of ziglang.org. There was also a pretty big discussion on HN at the time.
I think fact-checking is still in its infancy, and is currently nearly worthless, due to a lack of any ability to verify who is doing the fact-checking. It's just more noise in the same system. Once you can attach web-of-trust or a similar provable system, then fact-checking will have some value.
> I am not aware of even research languages taking the idea of general-purpose partial evaluation not through syntax macros to the same lengths as Zig

One that comes to mind is Terra: http://terralang.org/

In retrospect Terra seems a clear precursor to Zig (though I don't know if it was a direct influence).
Which European country? I’m most familiar with Germany, because my wife lived there. I think American Republicans, and many moderates, would actually be happy with the German CDU. Not cruel to immigrants and refugees, but Merkel can say that she doesn’t believe in “multiculturalism” and it’s accepted as a mainstream opinion. Abortion is available, upon counseling and waiting periods, but only up to 12 weeks absent a special case. Bavaria can require government buildings to display crosses on government property. Schools are required by the basic law to offer religious instruction (so Christian and Muslim parents can ensure their children are socialized in their religion’s morals, and not a secular moral framework created for schools). Etc.

Part of Republicans’ apparent extremism is a response to the strongly left-wing nature of America’s cultural institutions, in view of the very conservative nature of American society. In the area of religion, for example, America is far more religious than Germany (and comparable to Poland or Turkey). But American liberals, through the Supreme Court, have effectively pushed religion out of the public sphere (especially schools) much more completely than in Germany.
> Questioning strategic decisions is rarely beneficial to your career in any organization.

So, you always make the more "convenient" decisions instead and pretend there aren't any problems?

If this is the result of company culture then this is indeed not the individual's fault, but I sure hope I can at least comment on it?
I'm not sure what you're disagreeing with. Chiropractic is a scam and I'm sorry that it has such an impact on the poor. I'd call this an obvious systemic societal problem that we do this. Car wreck injuries should be met with a physical therapist at the very least, and no less.

Disks are memory, and many floppy disk manufacturers for example seemed perfectly capable of following the long-established convention for memory without (much) issue.
Depends on how you want to slice that.

My laptop? My OpenBSD router? Very unlikely anyone has attacked it. I’ve had boring jobs and have boring interests.

Do I think the Russians, Iranians, or any major foreign adversary have a 0-day they could use against my systems if I suddenly got a top secret clearance and clocked in as more interesting? Absolutely.

Everyone is doing both at the same time
But that doesn't absolve you from trying! I totally agree with the point that a TLA has the resources to get into the network if they throw everything they have at you. A strong password might have changed nothing. But it is still a total failure on basic security on SolarWinds side. And honestly, the fact that they're now blaming an intern shows that this was not the one small weak point the attacker found, but a cultural problem.
Why should they? Jetpack Compose is their defensive answer against Flutter.
I have to imagine that it is now MUCH harder to reach diversity targets now than it was before—because it is so fraught and oppositional.

You can take a chance on someone and find out they need a lot more training, or you can take a chance on someone only to discover they are trying to crash the system.
Do you really think all wars are rational, resource-driven pursuits? How about Falklands, what Argentina planned to extract there? Steal the rocks and tax the 300 sheep? Or Russia with Crimea, whose ownership value is enormously negative?

All it takes is one moron with delusion of grandeur.
> Is that a threat? Who is "we"?

Nope, just an expectation that sweeping claims get backed up either by reasoning (like you just did) or a source

As for your reasoning vs your claim: you had made it seem like there was some well-known flaw or tool within FB to disable/intercept E2E. Or that we should expect an E2E-disabler functionality already exists.

I'm no FB developer, but I doubt it's as simple as one or two rogue developers adding in an "intercept mark's messages" functionality.

> That is always true when all the code in use is controlled by a single closed organization.

Fair enough, but FB/whatsapp messengers are probably some of the most scrutinized by third parties, as well as developers who would sooner or later blow the whistle (would hope so anyway). I would not take "mark is on signal so his messengers suck" to be a reasonable conclusion - and I'm not even FB's biggest fan.
They guess it could be a user database leak, making it possible to use https with password auth for pushing. But the attacker didn't know the usernames.

Can't that also suggest that the user database is fine (otherwise they would have guessed correct usernames in the first place), but when a user was found they could find their password in some other leak?
Or, to quote the article, “there is a necessity of knowing dictionary that used in compression process”.
Excel files are not safe, as in you can't know what changed between two versions of a sheet, and because usually many things change between two versions of a sheet. So Excel sheets are very prone to having mistakes in them. It's usually fine when you have a few sheets handled by a few people. But when sheets start to pile up and people leave, then these errors tend to accumulate, leading to actual financial risks.
I thought that Godel demonstrated that there are theorems in a formal system that cannot be proved in that system. Physics is not expressed with the formalism that is reality, and there are different choices of formalism that can be used to express the concepts of physics. I don't think that Godel showed that there were statements that can't be proven in any system.
> you are still aware of the "standard French" pronunciation.

Not that well, at least for me, I think I know most cases where it changes from my local accent, but I would struggle to emit the "correct" sound. It wasn't that long ago that I learnt that "é, ais, er, et, ez" were not supposed to be pronounced the same, and I cannot tell how each one is supposed to be pronounced. I would say people from Switzerland are probably more aware of the difference, because it is acknowledged that it is slightly different, whereas I have never heard anyone tell me that I wasn't learning "proper/standard" French and that it's "supposed" to be pronounced differently.
Good idea, there already is a children's movie "Free Willy", so the name should be safe. ;)

This entire writeup describes the process of learning complex things to only a shallow or, at best, medium level of understanding. Following these guidelines and then believing you have a solid understanding of a complex thing is a near-perfect recipe for the Dunning-Kruger effect.
Glad to hear the majority of Hacker News thinks it's ok to sexualize and catalog pictures of me without my consent. At least now I know who I'm dealing with here instead of merely suspecting it.

Can you get gpu accelerated video playback in Firefox/Chrome? For me these days, "having your cake and eating it too" means running linux on a virtual machine.
The reaction here is why I start losing faith in humanity.

This "leak", has been blown way out of proportion. This leak, if anyone has actually bothered to look into it, will tell you there's very little available of value. For instance, there's no password.

There's about 2.5 mil emails that for all likelihood, it's already out in the wild. For the phone numbers, you can just robo-dial, (there aren't many to be found mind you). For everything else, they are data that the users have set public on their profiles, so they are meant to be seen, and you can readily search for them on Facebook already.

ALL THE LEAKED DATA WAS PUBLIC.

Do better HN.
It does; they are likely opened up via hole punching, coordinated via the SSH connection.
To take a bit of a contrarian perspective here, pornography has been linked to human trafficking, at least in Nevada. So if we want to distance ourselves from the religious moral and ethical arguments that oppose the "we're not actually harming ourselves" perspective, there is, at least in part, the perspective that viewing pornography contributes to violations against those viewed.

Capitalism doesn't "win", it just has a greater tendency to take over the world.
Refusal or no refusal. Many in Brazil's banking system didn't even care about the global derivatives markets. There was enough legitimate growth domestically from 2000 onwards that you probably wouldn't look beyond the country's borders except for arbitrage opportunities involving ADRs. Our main interest in global markets was basically limited to finding institutional investors abroad that were interested in purchasing Brazilian securities.

FWIW, I worked as a mid-level analyst at one of Brazil's largest broker dealers from 2007-2009 and have known people involved in Brazil's banking industry going back to the day I was born (my father). I was pretty much the only one in the São Paulo office following details of the crisis from before it started to well after because I was the only one who had grown up in the US and knew what was going on. Until the big crash in 2008 most Brazilians in banking had no idea what was going on with derivatives in the rest of the world. We simply missed that boat due to greater opportunities domestically.

I would describe the general impact of the global financial crisis in Brazil as "Look, it's raining outside. I'm glad I'm here inside where it is toasty and dry."
The founding organization owns 85% of the total market cap of a coin? That should be raising red flags for everyone involved.

There is no valid reason for the vast majority of what is supposedly a currency to be owned by the company that created it. Imagine if PayPal launched but required everyone to transact in fractional shares of PayPal to get anything done. Oh and by the way, those shares are majority owned by the founders, but they’ll sell you some so you can send them to your friends.

This is ridiculous.

Have you been to a OSS based conference in the last 5 years? Anything, from Apache to Rails to Python? The number of Apple laptops is by far greater than any other.
Apparently, just like real people, programmers just want shit to work when said shit is tangential to their project.

Ubuntu does a mostly good job at that, at least for me.
The cotton gin ended slavery. Any Billionaire who chooses to give money to charity is opting out of the quest for new innovations that will let people willingly free others from the bonds that hold them in poverty.

Imagine if Whitney had instead donated the capital he used to invent the cotton gin to the local orphanage.

I think it's an interesting commentary on the perception of capitalism that the world's richest view themselves as having been one-hit-wonders unlikely ever to eclipse their initial accomplishment with their own sweat and insight...

Instead, I'd prefer that these people follow in the steps of Gates himself, who has delved into asking the question of what the big problems are and how they're most effectively solved. His TED talk about power generation was incredibly inspiring, and assuming his wealth is $50B, he's not rich enough to self-fund it beyond the second stage.
Use 1Password, make sure your passphrase for that is long enough to be secure.

Write that passphrase down and put it in a safety deposit box if you want people to be able to retrieve them after you die.
Something else to consider is the rise of the cloud - people buy apple hardware and then ssh into their linux boxes, or run them as VMs locally.
Seeing as Apple in particular has to be dragged into this new world and everyone (really everyone) was there before them I don’t think there is any truth at all to that characterisation. The iPod was never intended to be a trojan horse. That’s revisionist history at its best.
Curiously, you linked the Student Manual for TAOE. I was under the impression that the Manual was more of a supplement to the main text than a standalone book. I've been looking to buy a hobbyist-friendly yet comprehensive electronics book for quite a while now. Do you recommend I get the Manual alone or do I need the TAOE book (which appears to be a bit expensive to me at the moment)?

PyCharm now offers the ability to open iPython notebooks inside itself - which gives you the nice IDE goodies, plus the notebook goodies.

The downside of course is that Python is very dynamic - so IDEs are of relatively limited use.
I'm really not sure if you're serious, but have you considered a library?
Considering that cryptocurrencies are still treated more like high risk speculative bets than currencies, it seems like gold would be the main beneficiary of an across-the-board collapse of confidence in fiat currency?

The price of gold has gone up a bit during the crisis, but nothing close to the increase in M1. So it would seem that markets are indeed sticking with fiat currencies in spite of the huge supply expansion...
Where did the food that your parents gave you come from?

There is no simple reason for WHY people in the US overeat and underexercise. But one facet involves the disruption of rituals and tradition around food. It's still progress by some means that a mother doesn't need to spend as many hours preparing meals for a household, and can instead e.g. work. But I believe we should generally dial back a bit how convenient and neutral it has become to eat. We're quite disconnected from our food.
There is, unfortunately, a common disconnect between intent and reality among many in the "woke" community. It doesn't matter what you claim, "its about" - it matters what is actually done. If I believe your soul has been corrupted by the devil, and I burn you at the stake to cleans you of the evil influence, I may very well believe sincerely that I'm helping you. My intent could be 100% pure. When asked about it, with your burning corpse tied to the stake behind me, I could sincerely say that my actions were "about" helping you. Good intentions never excuse bad behavior.
One of the interesting things I got out of this article is that Beeple and his wife actually ended up creating physical artifacts to send out to the people who bought their art. In a way that feels like the more salient (and obvious) innovation: it gives buyers of digital art a way to show lay-people that they actually own the piece itself and not just a print.

It's also interesting that these nfts are rarely presented as solutions to prove the ownership of non-digital art. There are millions of people who own (very convincing) prints of Mondrians, and yet when we enter the home of someone rich enough to buy an actual Mondrian we usually just assume all the art hanging on their walls are originals.

That's what seems counterintuitive about all this: In a sense this is the most successfull instance of NFTs being used to sell digital art yet, but also the most unnecessary. If you are a crypto millionaire from Singapore you don't need NFTs to convince anyone you actually own the Beeple piece you say you own.

(Although an obvious use of all this is that it turns digital art into a store of value that buyers can potentially sell at a higher price.)

I used two different cars, as there were two sessions.The point I was trying to make wasn't about the fact I came third but rather that you have so much more info and senses when driving in real compared to a simulator.
If you're trying to do something very specific that doesn't align with Rust's ownership/memory model it can be quite challenging.

For example, I wanted to make a skiplist library with features not present in other crates. Trying to go the totally safe route was a cognitive overload, and trying to express complex invariants in that form was painful. Completely doable though, if you're willing to learn it all.

I eventually settled on a much more unsafe, but very granular approach that's probably not going to get a good rating with cargo-crev.
perhaps what you are missing is that even lesser measures could have massive impacts,

- do we need to take the temperature of everyone at each hour? almost certainly not. Should you be reporting in from every location? almost certainly not. Should we be treating each other as bioweapons all in the name of "safety"? absolutely not.

- is it good if mobility is reduced? almost certainly it has a massive effect.

I think the right course of action is to give all these measures some time to work. Let's stop adding yet another measure and keep making the ones that exist better.

Epidemiologists need to chill out a bit and stop treating a society as a mathematical model or molecules bouncing around in a container.
But "this person must not have children" is such a shallow internet dismissal (edit: at least that's how it reads to me). Kent has written publicly about his children, btw. That makes me think I probably should have cited this guideline instead, though:

"Please don't post shallow dismissals, especially of other people's work. A good critical comment teaches us something."

I think the problem with laws like this is drawing a line when to stop. How much should a state protect you from yourself? I would argue, that the state should indeed protect mentally ill people from doing harm to themselves but should not hinder me to harm myself if I do not endanger others with my actions. I value my freedom much higher than winning the world life-expectancy competition.

Unfortunately our society works around fears. You need fear to get attention or political approval. Everything is getting more complex and thus more and more people want the to step in and regulate things for them.

Additionally this liberal [0] thinking is a bit elitist. To make it actually work in a society drifting apart, you would have to invest huge amounts in education and welfare to prevent typical health problems of the underclass. This would ironically increase the size of the state.

[0]: In the European meaning of the word.

I think he's underestimating the yarn production rate for a drop spindle. But it's quite correct that textiles were incredibly expensive before machine production. Textile machinery launched the Industrial Revolution.
