Would you say that governments should have no secrets?

I think the issue is more nuanced than it first seems to most people.
What is the validator doing that the compiler isn't?
Especially when the labor consists of indentured servants.
Amusing. Over at Berkeley, they developed a new, open CPU design that is intended to be useful for pretty much everything from education to industry, and to keep it simple it has no support for integer errors beyond making it cheap to detect divide by zero: http://riscv.org/
I looked at the code and the manual a little bit, and it almost looks like they're just writing an object oriented style wrapper syntax around Bison and Flex. At a quick glance, I'm not sure they're really inverting a formatter as much as they're adding a "syntax(...)" attribute that tells the tool how to format the parse tree elements generated from that grammar rule.
"I seriously didn't think it would work at all but to my surprise it did so I put my phone along side my $500 Valentine detector and they both went off same time"

I still wish that instead of some massive, problematic bill, we had got something that would stop disasters like this.

I really wish a simple fee[1] had been added to insurance plans, paid to the government, to cover a "catastrophic care" insurance to pick up all bills over $50K or maybe $75K. It would have save everyone on premiums[2] and stopped the destruction of a family by one event. Instead we got targeted, issue-based freebees.

1) Government should just add all the uninsured

2) having a max payout on an incident of care makes for some interesting changes to risk
Not just higher, but non integer/power of two.
This is new (emphasis added):

--

To recover a keychain, the user must authenticate with their iCloud account and password and respond to an SMS sent to their registered phone number. Once this is done, the user must enter their iCloud Security Code. The HSM cluster verifies that the user knows their iCloud Security Code using Secure Remote Password protocol (SRP); the code itself is not sent to Apple. Each member of the cluster independently verifies that the user has not exceeded the maximum number of attempts that are allowed to retrieve their record, as discussed below. If a majority agree, the cluster unwraps the escrow record and sends it to the user’s device.

Next, the device uses the iCloud Security Code to unwrap the random key used to encrypt the user’s keychain. With that key, the keychain—retrieved from iCloud key value storage—is decrypted and restored onto the device. Only 10 attempts to authen- ticate and retrieve an escrow record are allowed. After several failed attempts, the record is locked and the user must call Apple Support to be granted more attempts. After the 10th failed attempt, the HSM cluster destroys the escrow record and the keychain is lost forever. This provides protection against a brute-force attempt to retrieve the record, at the expense of sacrificing the keychain data in response.

These policies are coded in the HSM firmware. The administrative access cards that permit the firmware to be changed have been destroyed. Any attempt to alter the firmware or access the private key will cause the HSM cluster to delete the private key. Should this occur, the owners of all keychains protected by the cluster will receive a message informing them that their escrow record has been lost. They can then choose to re-enroll.
Does not really matter, I know similar stories from all over Europe including UK, post-soviet countries and southern states.

It’s funny bc Joyce himself said the book should be read as if you randomly found it discarded in a hotel room. The point is it is what it is, just let it happen, then you can enjoy it.
I think there is a big enough community to maintain it, should that ever happen. There are multiple totally community-made clients that work well, and there's at least one community-made server that's getting close-ish to federation, even if no-one forked Element/Synapse/Dendrite.
It is likely referring to the app specific cache for the "Google Settings" app that every app on Android has.

https://www.cashify.in/how-to-clear-app-data-and-cache-on-an...

I'm not sure why it would be in cache and not data though.

Edit: More context on Data vs Cache: https://android.stackexchange.com/questions/108926/what-is-t...

It seems arbitrary and they could have included it in data if they wanted to. That said, I don't think the cache will ever be cleared automatically so probably not a huge deal.

Perhaps not getting tracked could be seen as a bug that clearing your cache would fix? /s

That would make a lot of sense. Windows is in a tight spot right now because OEMs have lagged on ARM. Apple could offer MS a way out of that, while at the same time giving people one more reason to spend money on a Mac.
The project was supposed to take 10 years and is already at 24! That's simply atrocious, and saying that they didn't get everything they wanted to is a poor excuse.

I ran the numbers for inflation adjustment, and 500MM in 1997 is equivalent to ~811MM today. That means the project is between 12x-20x over budget... not much of an improvement in my mind.
D...don't they currently allow Fortnite on Android, a platform with a variety of incompatible kernel configurations and rooted configurations, left, right, and center?
Not everyone uses PyCharm, but if you do it's really easy to highlight a specific code block and look through the git commit history for that section. I've used it many times for this exact type of problem, trying to find when the last substantive change happened.

To do this just highlight the block, right click, and choose Git > Show History for Selection.
OReilly used to be the best, what happened? Over the last few years the OReilly books I bought haven't been that good. I've bought a bunch of Manning books recently which are quite good. Is everyone learning via MOOCs/Tutorials/Online docs/Youtube now?
Al Qaeda's policy goals are the bankruptcy and disruption of western civilization.

The Taliban on the other hand is waging a fairly standard insurgency to try and get what they view as their occupiers to leave.

Al Qaeda and the Taliban are actually, by and large, succeeding at their goals. NATO can't ensure peace in Afghanistan, and regardless of what is built, the political establishment in Afghanistan must contend with the Taliban. Al Qaeda at this point is an exemplar to aspire to for the incompetent schlubs trying to set their underwear on fire.

It doesn't matter if the likelihood that you're going to be blown up by a terrorist is extremely unlikely. It's that someone out there means you harm, and will strike when you do not expect it. There was an earlier post to hacker news which had an interesting discussion of the Assassins' tactics which fall into this general modus, although their motivations were totally distinct: http://www.historynet.com/holy-terror-the-rise-of-the-order-...
If you can get the parts and PCB, you have the logical methodical mind of a programmer, and you can learn to solder, you should be able to build it. SMT soldering is one of the harder sorts, but if you learned how to solder correctly you can do it.

Once you can solder, I'd put it at 'challenging but enjoyable, spend 2-7 late nights'

Nathan Robinson did a great piece[0] on Ray Dalio's principles and Bridgewater's culture, which looks extremely toxic:

> Make sure, of course, that you always make specific people feel bad about mistakes: “Instead of the passive generalization or the royal ‘we,’ attribute specific actions to specific people: ‘Harry didn’t handle this well.’” And make sure everyone knows it: “Use ‘public hangings’ to deter bad behavior,” he says, by which he means making sure to belittle (I’m sorry, accurately explain the failings of) employees in front of their coworkers so that the lesson is learned widely.

I always wondered this too and it seems odd, but, over the last 5 years I'm noticing a trend of developers using their macbooks/ultrabooks as primary and they are used to that format and look for it in a workstation/docked keyboard.

Personally my numpad is indispensable and I never understood the desire to have a tiny keyboard.
JavaScript messed it up, but Python did it well. A newline is a statement separator, unless it's e.g. between parentheses where a statement separator wouldn't make sense. Unlike JavaScript, that means you don't have to look at the next line to figure out whether the statement continues.

JavaScript assumes a newline doesn't end a statement, until proven otherwise. Python assumes it does end a statement unless it very clearly can't.

It's independent from Python's other significant whitespace, so you could use it in a more "C-like" syntax.

But it wouldn't be a good fit for Rust. In Rust, leaving the semicolon off the final statement in a block already changes its meaning, so that would become ambiguous. It also uses method chaining syntax a great deal more than Python, which is a bit awkward because you have to wrap the expression in parentheses (though autoformatting helps). And of course it would break most existing code.
As someone who's not a fan of JS in the browser, https://github.com/denoland/deno is _shockingly_ nice for "script-sized" tasks that need more performance than bash+jq makes easy.
25 cents for a "culturally and emotionally attuned" response seems fairly reasonable to me. It comes out to something like 100 seconds per response just to match minimum US wage.
Without delving much past the first page, it seems like Boxen would cover a lot of this territory? Boxen [1] is a puppet-based OS-X provisioning tool used by (among others) GitHub to set up new Macs in a hurry. It does take a little while to get configured and dialed in, but once it's set up, (re)provisioning a new Mac is almost fun.

It would be if that error meant that the app couldn't handle the traffic. "App crashed" just means that their code is doing something weird and the thin process crashed.

I don't know. I exercise for gaining strength, not for burning energy. Look up High Intensity Interval Training to see how short high-intensity bursts compare to long low-intensity efforts (i.e. cardio).

(For the lazy: http://duckduckgo.com/High-intensity_interval_training)

Gaining more muscles does raise your base metabolic rate, though.
I think that hints towards freeopinion's point. You, as a private citizen, should have exactly the same legal liability with respect to false arrest as a police officer.

I just saw this on social media the other day:

Person A: "Isn't it just awful that SEPTember, OCTober, NOVember and DECember aren't the 7th, 8th, 9th and 10th months?"

Person B: "They should stab whomever changed that."

(For those who may not know, that is a reference to Julius Caesar who inserted July, and if you didn't know that you may be interested to know that Augustus inserted August. Hence we are off by 2 months.)

Edit: Apparently, I -- and the very funny person B -- were misinformed. Jan and Feb were inserted, and different months were renamed:

I would like this for Asciidoc which is the better Markdown
As a native Polish speaker it was very strange to me when English speakers say things like "twelve hundreds" for numbers between 1000 and 2000. Nobody in Poland ever says that because we don't separate 200 into 2 words "two hundred" we say "dwieście" (which comes from two hundreds, but is significantly changed and considered separate word not 2 words joined).
It sounds to us like "4 twenties" would sound to English people instead of "eighty".

So because of language it's not natural to think of 1300 as 13*100, it's much more natural to think of it as 1000+300.

But it's still better in Polish than in German ;) At least we don't do mixed endian like "hundred two and twenty" :)
You probably think you're doing women a favour with this nitpicky attitude, but it only trivializes the focus of the issues to the wording choice of a single fucking person. Let the little things slide.

> (max - min) is int

Incorrect. These are signed values. If you subtract a large negative integer from a large positive integer, the result is larger than an integer.
As you asked... put aside the "in 15 years I want..." and go do things that are interesting to you for the next 5 years. Travel the world (you can do it at 20, just not 5 star), meet fascinating people, do interesting things.

Most HN'ers will tend to go on about how much work you can do at 20 because you have no real responsibilities and are used to living in a single room and eating whatever is convenient. Don't waste those characteristics on a goal 15 years out -- if you are passionate about the goal, start on it now, if you are passionate about something else (mountain climbing, interesting women, photography, good conversation, travel, diving, etc) go do it. If there is no obvious passion (pretty common) then adopt travel and make it a point to talk to people wherever you go -- you'll find passion, and the next steps become obvious.
Icelandic has some beautiful examples of creative language (purism), e.g. instead of using a word derived from the Greek for electricity, it uses "rafmagn" which literally means "amber power".

Another example is sími, the word for telephone (which comes from the greek "tele" (far) and "phone" (voice)).
I suppose you could fine 1 or 2 nerds like this. But then what do we call all the other technology-obsessed free-thinking creative people?

> it's really just a logical and common-sense way of looking at things.

To you, yes. Plenty of other Muslims find it utterly illogical why some random people who happened to be in the right place 14 centuries ago should be taken as any sort of authority. It's as black to them as it is white to you. We all think our own particular beliefs are the logical and common-sense way of looking at things.

In matters of faith, all judgments are subjective by definition. It's human, but delusional and dangerous nevertheless, to assume that they extend to hold objectively.

There's something about "the future" that brings us closer to film-like situations in real life. Not only the obvious sci-fi ones. Maybe it is the speed at which things are done, don't know...

I've almost always done really well at technical interviews.

But I support this because a lot of technical interviews are ripoffs of people's time. I've put a lot of effort into technical presentation, done well, and then been disqualified based on other criteria. That sucks and the companies have done it that way because it's easy for them.

Tesla's response is ridiculous.

"Now they are claiming that the eMMC chip, ball-grid soldered to the motherboard, inaccessible without disassembling the dash, and not specifically mentioned in the owner’s manual, should be considered a “wear item”, and thus should not be subject to such scrutiny."
yeah, that would definitely help! I find it sad that so many high profile open source projects lack in UI, even though there's a lot of smart people working on them.

Maybe it's a question about prioritizing time for technical features and downgrading the importance of a good UI and onboarding. Since time is limited, but in the case of matrix, I would say UI is just as important as the technical part. If they get more funding, maybe it will change in the future.
That's a memory and repetition issue.
Funny anecdote, I've been using TurboTax installable for a decade or so (having given up on doing them completely by hand).

Been considering hiring a professional because you always hear that they are worth their weight in gold. (Our tax situation is not particularly complicated though, typical Silicon Valley married homeowners).

Well, last year, did everything in turbotax, said we were short by like 15k. Believable, BTDT before, but didn't want to believe it. Hired an accountant on a recommendation. She did all our stuff, came up with a bill, turned out we owned $500 more than TurboTax said.

Okay, paid it.

2 months later, get a check from the IRS, we overpaid by $500. Yup, TurboTax had it right all along!

Based on this article's description, I wouldn't say he's disintermediating it so much as differently intermediating it. It sounds like he's building up an interesting web of social and business conventions to position people as art-stars, cultivate investors in said art-stars' careers and works, cultivate "appreciators" who key on status signals he's inflecting certain artists with, etc. It's still ultimately a lot of a status and positioning game, trying to build someone up as a "major artist" in a way that a critical mass of critics and investors buy, while setting yourself up as the intermediary who controls access to this corner of the art world.

Here's my take on it:

One of the main selling points for ZFS is the end-to-end cryptographic verification of file contents as well as all metadata. Everything in ZFS is hashed, and verified during reads. Without ECC RAM, your hashes are vulnerable to corruption due to bits being erroneously flipped in RAM. If this happens with non-ECC RAM, you're never going to know, and it will cause corruption. With ECC RAM, these events are not only detectable, but also fixable.

Regarding ZFS "requiring a huge amount of RAM". Most of this comes into play if you have dedup turned on. Then you really need a lot of RAM. Without dedup enabled, and if you're OK with mediocre performance, you can get by just fine with a "normal" amount of RAM. It's well-known that filesystem performance increases with more RAM - this is not something that is unique to ZFS.
Maybe we will see google and IOS merge to help consumers
