I've had a fair number of press people contact me about this. I think the issue is: github isn't a consumer service, and the attack is novel enough, that explaining it requires explaining several things at the same time. Adding In the gfw/China aspect makes it even more confusing.

This is the kind of story where a tech individual should probably do a compressive blog post which gets syndicated, rather than relying on journalists. I can understand why no one at Baidu, GitHub, or Fastly is doing this, though.
What do you think about adding instructions on how to revert a published change to your site with git. The nice thing about git is that you can fix boo-boos. Also you might add a hosted analytics service to the HTML template. (The urge to know who's looking at your site is universal!)
Just thank them for the time but you have selected another position. Don't explain unless they hire you as a management coach.

Is your anger petty and spoiled? In absolute terms, yes, obviously.

E.g., I regularly saw a guy working at a rental car desk and commented on his always sunny disposition. He said he came to the country* with the promise of an IT job but it was a lie. Now, he can't get out and his boss told him to always smile or he'd be jobless (and thus homeless with a high likelihood of starvation).

Are you Spoiled, Petty? Yes, but many of us are.

Doesn't mean you should take the job. Just be grateful for your circumstances.

*I won't divulge the country. Don't bother guessing.
Picasso was a hack who contributed to the downfall of a thousand year old tradition of craftsmanship. The modernists destroyed university casts and ruined academic drawing programs so completely that they have not recovered to this day.

We are very fortunate that image sharing on the internet has revealed that the art establishment has no clothes and people enjoy representational works. Artists like Will St. John, Colleen Barry, Ramon Alex Hurtado, Jeremy Lipking and others are reviving academic figurative traditions.

If I sound upset, it's because I am. In highschool I took AP art and all the other art classes I could. I visited all the nearby art associations and establishments that people revered. I wanted to paint people, wanted to make great paintings like the ones I saw in museums. I attended one of the best-ranked public highschools in my state and my teachers with art degrees didn't even know there was an academic path out there because their colleges just taught them about the greatness of conceptual garbage. I wound up giving up on that dream and floundering through the last decade with constructive methods like loomis and bridgman in my spare time. Now I have a degree I'm not passionate about and enough debt that pursuing academic training is out of the question.

Warhol's soup cans are neat and abstract movements were a refreshing breath of fresh air in art history, sure. You might admire works of lesser craftsmanship for their "philosophical" achievements, but consider the destruction that philosophy wreaked upon education and the cultural-nuclear-crater left behind.

Google Sargent, Repin, Bouguereau, and Homer. Then look again at Koons, Hirst, Twombly, etc. and try to convince yourself a grave error and loss has not occurred.
That isn't true though - you can police those in a fair, reproducible and representative way. Whether or how widely they ought to be policed or not is another question, but NSFW content filtering effectively never produces false negatives and really only produces false positives in rare cases.
Oh lets throw perforce in there too. Ugh. I had an easier time when I first learned git.
the commenter is referring to the m1 mac mini which is a desktop device last i checked. which does support 2 external monitors
If you read the indictment, they claimed they had bitcoin from mining in 2011, the exchange asked for further proof, and they just abandoned the bitcoin (~$150k). The exchange surely notified the authorities, because who abandons $150k of legit bitcoin?

So claiming it was from mining didn't work in this particular instance.

They don't need to prove you are lying in all instances, it's enough to prove you are lying in one instance. They will get you for that one instance where you didn't launder it properly if they are after you.
It is a bit backwards, but in exchange you get predictability

With backwards sorting you know that, unless there is a cycle, you can always scroll up from a call site to find the definition or down from a definition to see where it is used. With forwards sorting you can scroll down to find a definition, unless the function was imported, or used as a decorator somewhere, or called by something that was used as a decorator, or used in some other way that I haven't thought of.

My personal experience is that this predictability is hugely useful. It almost entirely obviates the need for jump-to-definition within a module, and gives modules a very obvious shape and structure.
I think your confusing multiple issues - the people wanting to cut foreign aid and NPR have a different vision of what government is for, and when it is ok to use force, e.g. they don't think it's ok for someone to threaten to kill them to pay for NPR.

I'm a fan of NPR and I don't think it should be funded by the government- the government pays less than 5% of NPR's budget, but adds tons conflict.
What I've read is that there have been times where 3D hardware vendors were able to expose newer features in OpenGL sooner than in DirectX. OpenGL has an extensible "GetProcAddress" facility which goes direct to the vendor's code.

Build his own credit card reader into the iPhone?
More people have credit/debit cards than smart phones. There is no reason why Square couldn't support NFC eventually, but I think for the next decade, retail purchasing experiences, will involve consumers with credit/debit cards.
Confused: are they talking product design, or customer service, or financial responsibility? They don't seem to appreciate that these things are different.
There was a chap living in an old 20 seat bus some time ago in the Midlands, UK. No conversions, just basically sleeping rough in a bus.

I've seen much nicer converted railway carriages in Scotland, and there is at least one converted railway carriage you can rent for holidays. These are static of course.

This chap should do a line of those storage bed units for people in small flats!
I don't even think today's issue was Algol or high frequency related. And electronic exchanges (more than record processing) are what's made HF and many formd of Algol trading possible.
Reminds me of Gabriel. He bought a Firetruck.

> Its this kind of out the box thinking and guts to follow through with your idea that makes a true difference in this w

I'll be the first to say this is a sweet bus & transformation and kudos to Hank for finding something he wanted to do and going after it. BUT, I think it's a bit of a stretch to say it's going to change the world. Maybe Hank's got bigger plans for it - but is it too much to ask to just call this a "freaking awesome project" and congratulate Hank on his out-of-the-box thinking without saying it's "revolutionary", "world changing" or some other hyperbole?
So if PRISM was used to gather evidence is Kim Dotcom a threat to US National Security? The copyright lobby in DC must have some serious sway. Dotcom is hardly Osama Bin Laden.
Maybe all foreign nationals are fair game, makes US one way extradition treaties all the worse.
Kind of seems like a suite of services that could be for old people, extend to include a print out of a twitter feed and email inbox so they never have to use the computer.
Wall Street journal reporting is excellent but the opinion page is a dumpster fire.
Thanks misnome. I can relate to it
Not to mention that the labels might read different depending in the user or context. For example Google Apps Gmail vs free consumer email.
Threads easy to understand? Hmm, even the termination part? With all these old school network APIs?
Thanks. The article is just horrendous. Shadowy innuendo with no substance.
The recruitment angle has always been pretty successful, and now with JP's extensive open source work exposure to collaborators and emerging projects has become valuable for participants at these conferences.

With the pandemic, I moved us from being just a pycon sponsor to sponsoring the psf directly (https://www.python.org/psf/sponsorship/sponsors/), though without a senior MD championing these types of initiatives it's always up to lower level employees being vocal and committed enough to push.
I think what the parent is saying is that these English word nonce generators are far more likely to use the word “house” and “fork” than it is to use “onomatopoeia” or “fuck”. Thus, limiting the range of words likely to be used, leading to more easily guessed phrases. Also, I could be as thick as you ;).
Interesting! It wasn't immediately clear what exactly this "trick" is that Feynman was talking about. This document implies that the trick is to differentiate the integral according to another variable (in this case, 't'), and then see where that gets you.

Seeing this sort of creative mathematical process in action makes me think that maybe [1] is right, and math is sometimes more art than science.

I do agree that people should fight for what they think is right and change societies rules if they feel they are unfair. But we have systems in place to do this. They're not perfect but they are there. It's wiser to use them and try and change things than to just ignore the law because you don't agree.

Edit: This applies for the USA. Other countries I can't really speak about. Some are truly oppressive and I doubt just using the system would accomplish much. I understand that. I don't know how to solve that problem unfortunately.
I really found the Jungian backlash thing very interesting.

I, for example, like to come into work late. I love being lazy in the mornings, either reading in bed or maybe doing a workout. I do it often. I think it makes me happy, and I come into work feeling /good/. I also leave later than most people, often work overtime, and sometimes I'll work on the weekends, all on my own accord and without getting paid extra.

Now, in many places, I could just /see/ the discomfort this causes in people, especially those who feel like they're obligated to show up at 8, and leave at 5. Lip service is paid to the usual "as long as you get your work done", but more than a few times I've been pulled aside to be asked "could you please come in earlier" - or I can sense tension when I walk in and some coworkers have been in for an hour already.

It's all really frustrating. Doubly so when people can't explain why a novel behavior is bad, but think it's bad anyway. We really are creatures of habit.
Some idiots think that's exactly what they did.
Hm, might be. Truth to be told, I tried streaming for a very brief period and didn't notice any lock buttons.
Sorry, I was more vague on that initially than I should've been. I've answered this elsewhere, but: what I was referring to was delivering value on behalf of someone else vs. using a given problem as an opportunity to learn something new. Delivering value (e.g. adding a new feature to your product, fixing a bug in a shipping product, identifying and attacking a market opportunity) shouldn't be seen as an excuse to learn a new technology unless you have absolutely no pressure to ship that work on any sort of schedule at any presumed level of acceptable quality.

I'm the same way: I need a real problem to work whether I'm applying skills I know or skills I want to learn. I just don't ever promise anyone (except myself) anything when I'm applying technologies I don't yet know to the problem.
Because all the smart people are smart enough to see how much of a soul-sucking cluster-fuck politics is. That, and one could argue that if they're put on this earth to live a life of happiness, how could one ever possibly achieve this through a life in politics, knowing what they are getting themselves into?
For years companies have been steadily asking, mandating or even trickling users to give them their phone numbers under the excuse of security (while the real reasons were different), now what?

How can they be trusted anymore?

This also strikes a great point about the data sharing between Facebook and WhatsApp. Linking data between services augments the dangers and the consequences are not obvious to the end user.

I think Facebook should offer their users the option to remove their phone numbers with a real deletion.
Regarding [2], the same guy who one year ago was accusing the UK gov of fear mongering covid now writes this:

> Covid has exposed how incompetent the British state is, from top to bottom

> Come the inevitable inquiry into the events of the past year, it is not only politicians who should carry the can. All the components of Britain’s government, central and local, should be tested – the constitution as a whole should be under examination.

Interesting how the media is missing from that list.

Many journalists truly have no shame.
Notably one of the other banks owned by the British government exists specifically to use savings by individuals as a source of capital for the government itself.

https://www.nsandi.com/

[As a result NS&I cannot "fail" in the sense a commercial bank could, your deposits are guaranteed by the continued existence of the United Kingdom, and since it has its own currency this means if the bank fails, the country fails, the currency fails and the money was actually now worthless anyway.]
The termination of processing in Crimea by Visa and MasterCard was actually a big deal. It came out of nowhere. One morning ATMs and terminals in shops just stopped working and everybody was left with maybe some cash and a bunch of useless cards. It was not a joke. I was making trips to the nearest working ATM in Russia with like 15 credit cads of our friends and relatives with scribbled pin-codes - a 6-7 hour drive one way, often only to find that we need to drive further to find a not yet emptied ATM. And then returning with a bag of cash.

And then the same winter Ukraine cut electricity and water supply. I remember doing homework with kids by a candle light, wearing warm jackets inside because heating didn't work. Fun times. I don't know how this all was supposed to turn people of Crimea back to Ukraine and who thought it was a good idea. I think it worked the opposite way and turned a lot of locals into supporters of the annexation.

Anyway, I'd say the most upsetting result of the sanctions is almost total absence of large international and Russian business in Crimea. It makes everything very expensive. It's like an additional tax on everything. For example, no large Russian bank has a local branch. There are only few small local banks and as a result it is really hard to get a business loan or mortgage, and the rates are bad. There are almost no stores of big food chains, and it means the food is more expensive than in mainland Russia; there are no McDonalds, no Burger King or Starbucks; you cannot receive an international delivery and you have to pay to one of the many proxy services that re-send packages if you want to receive a package from Amazon; no international flights which means you always need to buy a flight to Moscow first; etc.
The idea makes a lot of sense, but it all comes down to the system-level APIs that this application-runner would provide. Should it be Web-APIs? Then you're essentially rewriting the browser, maybe minus the DOM, CSS and JS. Should it be the Windows APIs? Then you're essentially rewriting Windows above the kernel. Just POSIX? Then what about applications that need rendering and sound. Do you invent your own cross-platform APIs? It's a massive undertaking, and without the momentum that the web had and has, it'll be tough to make this application runner popular among devs and users.
Ah is that what's in the black goo?
If you can - leave. There’s plenty of companies with paid on call or more lenient policies.
Why do they prefer to rent?
Right and both methods of transit are a hobby. There are plenty of OHV vehicles people live out of as well.
This wouldn't have been considered a problem in the 90s, but my concern with clipboard managers is that they would end up containing a lot of sensitive information, particularly passwords from my password manager.

(Not that this isn't a concern otherwise, but there's a difference between a pasteboard that holds one piece of information at a time and immediately purges old information, and one that logs history for an extended period.)
And that's an example why I think that it's stupid to jump on Stadia bandwagon.
> The problem with these approaches is that “simplicity” never gets a rigorous definition

Last I counted there were 48 proposed methods of defining simplicity. I created one as well and am biased and think it is the best way to rigorously define simplicity/complexity: https://github.com/treenotation/research/blob/master/papers/...
tsla down almost 7% i told you it was ugly. How hard would it have been to make it not ugly. Just use some sweeping lines, add some more polygons!
Cyberpunk was supposed to be a fictional dystopia.
I don't accept the Sapir-Whorf hypothesis in general, but in this particular case, at least some empirical evidence for this specific effect is presented. There is nothing here, however, to suggest that the effect is anything other than minor and transient, so the article sems to be raising an exaggerated concern.
Can someone explain why there are age-based deadlines for starting formal music education? If a person can become an engineer or a lawyer regardless of their age, why is it the opposite in that field?
I would imagine a lot of people don't want to take LSD because of difficulty guaranteeing that it is actually real LSD-25 and not some other derivative. I think the American CIA was responsible for spiking the LSD supply with more dangerous alternatives at one point. And now, there are plenty of variants that are either mixed in and then sold, or sold directly as LSD, when they are actually not.

Testing is difficult because the common tests only test for the presence of LSD-25, not the purity, and not for the presence of substitutes. Someone who mixed the pure substance with some more dangerous derivative would be impossible to detect without lab grade tools.

This has stopped me from trying LSD for my whole life. I assume there are many others that don't want to take mind altering substances with unknown purity.
I think it's important to remember that when treating depression, often you will use therapy and medication.

People sometimes do as you are doing and seem to imply the medication is used instead of working out your problems. But it's really just one part of a whole.
That's not what I meant. Message receive in Erlang is blocking (synchronous), just like it is in Go and Quasar. Meaning, it's basically a blocking queue rather than the asynchronous/push-style/callback approach used in Akka.
Does it? I don't think you need to correlate packets, you could probably just block small packets that look like they have only part of the hostname. If they wanted to be slightly more selective, they could block small packets that have a partial hostname and have a prefix that is blocked.

In order for traffic to be open for any substantial time, the technique either has to stay hidden/unpopular or the traffic has to be hard to distinguish from normal traffic.
You can controll the formatting with empty comments

eg, if you dont like

you can do

} = props;
All Qt developers have. I wouldn’t put all the blame squarely on Qt. Windows high DPI support is just awful on top of Qt’s neglect.

Have you ever hooked a high-DPI laptop to a low-DPI second monitor? What a freaking headache that is.

Say what you want about MacBook owners being brand snobs, but they never have to deal with this nonsense.
I am genuinely curious to understand what you mean by “make home ownership as simple as renting” as I can see both ways that it is, and I can see ways that it is far more complex with good reasons, so I’m curious to understand your perspective here. I’m also curious your reasoning for banning loans for private home ownership and how you would make up the difference in services in the absence of property tax revenue (as in my area, property taxes pretty much go directly to schools, police, and fire).
XCode or no, I can't imagine doing serious software development without a terminal and all the common *nix utilities.
Legislature can't prevent bad people from doing bad things. But it can prevent good people from doing bad or ignorant things, and it provides a framework to punish those who cause harm.

Every law can and does get broken, but that doesn't mean laws are useless.
> When a company sets up a model where anyone could easily become a receiver of money and anyone could easily pay, they get into the AML world.

Yeah, it’s interesting how very few people know about the ways payment frauds take place.

An analogy I can think of is highways. A non trivial number of vehicles plying them are carrying illegal goods. Payments is similar, when you set up a path for money to flow between A and B the very first users to adopt that path are money launderers.
This one is new.
It's sad that 'success' in a startup sometimes means that you get a payout, then everything you worked for over years gets put in a drawer somewhere and everyone gets let go. It's some sort of Pyrrhic success.

As an aside, It's a story I've heard over here (Australia) quite a few times as well. It makes me wonder if we are capable of playing in the big leagues (Atlassian being an obvious exception here).
the same chances of Taleb writing something not overtly dick-ish.
That is good to hear! Hopefully smart phones are supporting that standard, because it does appear to be an extension of USB.
I think you may be reading it the wrong way. I've been in their IRC channel a few times - there is very little trolling happening in there, lots of genuine enthusiasm.

..combined with a stated and enforced policy of zero tolerance for public dissent, mostly as a defense mechanism from the divide-and-conquer concern trolls who tend to infest political communities. They characterize it as a "24x7 Trump Rally", and that's exactly what it is.

If you're more interested in the discussion than the echo chamber, there's /r/asktrumpsupporters. You'll find little of value on the main subreddit unless you actually support the guy.
I couldn't even make it to the end. Land of the free, home of the brave.

Lots of PR, money being directed towards maximizing media impact and arguably more bad than good being done.
My health is not nearly what it was for the 15+ years I was vegetarian.

Some of that can of course be attributed to age, but then again, I was a heavy smoker, and used plenty of drugs when I was younger (habits which I have long since quit), so you'd think it might balance out the age thing.

I don't have a good reason why I haven't gone back to my old meat-free diet - laziness? Perhaps it's time I reconsidered.
What's your opinion of the Gates Foundation's work?
Oh, goody. I would feel assured that I would work with people at the level of CS 1, as a professional.
