Well, Mr. Zed Shaw is trolling. No doubt about that.

I wonder how he makes the conspiracy theories about NSA when Tor is open source? He is free to investigate the source code for 'backdoors'.

Such conspiracy theories and trolling are nothing but desperate attempts for attention.
they would just multiply the number of downloads by the average ticket price and ask for the compensation for the lost revenues caused by piracy.
Sorry, just saw this reply. One this is that professors will be pretty forgiving if you fail. Just show that you are working really hard and people will understand if you over extend yourself. That type of flexibility goes away in grad school I think, but for now it is there. Otherwise just make sure you graduate on time. :P
I mean high volume as in millions of people a day querying a single domain, not the other high volume heh.
It is a meritocracy in that simple projects often only have 1 person working on them. One would think, given that , there'd be more women involved, as there's no discrimination there.
I felt warm and fuzzy seeing @notch (minecraft) up there for a while as well. It's great seeing the indy developers support each other.
I hate (love?) to be the pedant here, but your stutter and your introversion aren't mutually exclusive. They're orthogonal.

As to the stuttering, I think I understand. I don't stutter, but I do have a horrible time hearing when there's much ambient noise. It makes many otherwise neutral to vaguely unpleasant events unbearable.
I'd eat the sandwich.
I'll keep that in mind if I'm there, too. World Travel is on the goal list, but I'm not sure how much of it in the coming year...
"The main point is that it is against EU legislation for arrest warrants to be made public"

That doesn't even make sense. Even if I interpret this as 'most criminal procedure laws across Europe prohibit...', it's still not true.

"... bad journalism from nytimes/the swedish tabloid pushing the agenda of the Pentagon, or some form of corruption/incompetence of government officials in Sweden."

This is claimed various times in this thread and on other sites, but I have yet to see any proof, even if it's in the form of circumstances that point in this direction, or other small hints in that direction. The only reason people believe this seems to be cognitive dissonance - 'I like the idea of Wikileaks, so the guy that runs it must be a good guy, so everything he's accused of must be false.'. That's not rational at all.
Installed on your recommendation. Will try it out, though I probably need a few more than 15... :)
Yes, but it is never at the top (before making a case for call to action).
That was true until this summer, when their leveraged position collapsed and Porsche was bought by VW, actually.
This. Also do not use wifi.

If I need to concentrate, I physically unplug my notebook from the net (my only connection is ethernet cable) and move to a different room.

It works wonders. It makes me think hard whether it's really needed to check something on the web. Usually I just preload in tabs background info I may need later in the day to get the job done.
Is there a chrome equivalent?

QE is totally MMT in action, and it results in inflation.
Um, shouldn't the patent have expired by now ?
Would someone familiar with the porting effort tell what where the major obstacles and breakthroughs. It would also be interesting to hear what methods were used in the process and who are the people behind the effort.

Thank you in advance. You will find appreciative audience here in HN for such engineering porn.

I pretty much finished all of Spider-Man on PS4 just on my work breaks while letting my brain churn out problems in the background.

When my brain goes ding, I can pause the game, walk the 3 meters to my work laptop and keep working until I get stuck again.
I suspect that, stood in your own house with keys in hand, faced with an angry man with a wedge who has just broken your door open, the police might be persuaded to take your side...
All this Paypal "we had to use it for business reasons" stuff reminds me of a family friend who was a Mcdonald's franchisee and got screwed over by Mcdonald's corporate and vowed to never eat at Mcdonald's again after being able to exit the business. Sure enough, 3 months later, there he was going to Mcdonald's. Excuse? "Well it was the only decent place to stop at this exit."

If you chose to use Paypal for business reasons, then you should own up to having possibly made a bad business decision. There are alternatives: Amazon Payments, Google Checkout, WePay, and 3rd party payment processors.
You definitely can. On average, you make around 6% on ANYTHING someone who clicks through puts in their shopping cart that session.

A friend of mine linked to a downloadable part of the tron soundtrack (a dollar or so a song). Someone bought the Adobe Creative Suite. My friend made $300 that day.

On a less "blind luck" side of the fence... if you have a blog with a few thousand hits per month, and you can just reference a product on Amazon on a few posts that month, you can get a pretty solid number of people clicking through.

What's with all the Vista hate? I mean seriously. I run a MBP mostly with OSX, but on my music mixing machine @ home I run vista and have never had a single problem and greatly prefer it to XP.

The whole thing was just manufactured by angry computerworld journo's who couldn't believe that MS actually started considering making an OS easier to use.

Now you could certainly seek to make your case for where the country's spending priorities might be improved. You'd not be the first to seek that, of course.
Well, I'm 99% sure you're trolling at this point. So that this ad-hominen is allowed on this website I'll clarify to others why so that they might not fall into the same trap.
Your argument comes down to "one counter example proves I'm right". For those of you who want to see a quintesential source of this type of argument go look at the evolution of the newsgroup talk.origins. There you can see a plethora of examples just like this.
Children are not clay to be molded, and they are not computer systems to be planned and carried out. They are individuals. And there are no clear solutions to mental health, substance abuse, or suicide--but there are clear non-solutions like helicopter parenting.

EDIT: And best-efforts at laying out everything for your kid are more than potentially-wasted energy. It's smothering, controlling behavior of someone who should have the right to live and make their own choices and mistakes.
Flask is much quicker for small apps like this.
this is just the dumbest article i have ever read. there are very few top performers, a types with an appetite for challenges, who would work in a meaningless project just to compete with mediocre talent, that's absurd! number one motivation issue is a bad manager, closely followed are lack of career development where in i mean interesting technical challenges andncompeting against the best and project interest. a types or top performers who take initiative and want to work on the biggest challenges do not shy from challenges, in fact, they want them! the types that shynfrom challenges and curl into meaningless projects are those that seek work life balance and are really your low performers.
Hum, the fact that you live "alone" with your wife might make a little difference :)

Quoting the article:
According to Cacioppo the key is in the quality, not the quantity of those people. We just need several on whom we can depend and who depend on us in return.
The only thing I'd caution (particularly about #1) is that being able to parrot facts — even ones you know cold — on-demand in a high-intensity interview setting can be very different from using those same facts day-to-day. If someone can't describe the difference between abstract classes and interfaces, how confident are you it's because they don't understand it and not just because they're horrible at being put on the spot in an interview-style environment?
The WP article is really just a response to the uproar over Romney's comment in the 2012 election at a fundraiser about how ~"47% of the country doesn't pay tax", probably why they are focusing on "who pays" and not "how much"

Not in the USA, where the movie takes place. Funny enough, I was doing that for a living when the movie came out. I still enjoyed it, although, like the rest of Hollywood's masterpieces, it wasn't remotely realistic.
One of my math teacher told me once a short story about Henri Poincaré arguing with a child about the use of mathematics. When the kid asked him what were maths used for, he answered : « and you, what are you used for? »

I don't know if this story is true or not. I suspect it isn't. But frankly I have the feeling there is more sincerity in this answer than in this long letter to a Nun in Africa.

If you spend some time on a spaceflight forum, you will read enthusiast posts about how cool it would be to see other words, to experience micro-gravity, or how interesting the science behind rocket engines is, but I rarely read about how space science will solve hunger, world peace and whatnot, and when I do it's precisely as an answer to someone who brought this up, and in this case someone who does not work in aerospace.

When a Kid loves space and rockets, when he spends countless time reading science-fiction books, it's because to him it's fun, fascinating and exciting, not because it's supposed to feed starving children. I doubt an adult rocket scientist or engineer is fundamentally different. Deep down he just doesn't give a crap about starving children in Africa.

I'm a religious guy who loves science and technology, and I greatly appreciated this article.

Men of faith need not be anti-science, indeed, many great men of science were men of faith. And not by an incidental flaw in their minds, as the article puts it, but as a driver and strengthener of their science.

In the last 100 years especially, religious people have grown anti-science, largely because we see science growing increasingly atheistic. Others feel threatened by evolution, as if natural selection undermines the existence of God.

I am working in my own religious circles to counteract that and to bring back a love of science and a love of knowledge back to my own Christian circles.

In the meantime, articles like this one are helpful to dispel the modern notion that one cannot be religious and still love knowledge and science.
I just used Google Docs, but I type very fast. I'm not entirely sure, but I think I have about a WPM of about 130. I managed with just typing things as they happened, and using the shortcuts to enter LateX formulas. I didn't encounter a lot of diagrams or other things that needed drawing during my studies, but usually kept a notebook nearby just in case.
I would go for a multi-stage approach here:

- first let them know you know, and that you'd like for this to be handled in the best interest of the users (that's who you're doing this for, right?)

- then, depending on the response you have several options:

- If they stonewall, alert the public

- If they respond, figure out what a reasonable timeframe should be for them to become compliant

- Then give them that much time and review the new situation

- If they're still not compliant but have made progress review the situation from the new vantage point

- If they have not made meaningful progress, alert the public.

Don't let this 'opportunity' get the better of you in the ethics department, what goes around comes around and since you're doing your utmost to be anonymous here be aware that you too might have a skeleton or two in your closet and making enemies with nothing to lose might not be in your advantage.

On the other hand: building a bridge for a competitor to walk over when they were vulnerable might place you well some years down the line when that founder is looking for succession.

As for the whole PCI compliance thing: depending on where this all happens in the chain the company might be lying about them being PCI compliant or their auditors have messed up, either way nobody appointed you judge, jury and executioner so tread with some care, the whole thing might backfire in some unexpected and spectacular way if it turns out you were mistaken.
New CEO should be fired too. They are failing at crisis management 101.
It's not really about the raw speed or single core perf anymore. These M1 processors have huge caches and flat-out workloads can really scream on them. Apple engineers took a holistic approach to optimizing the processor for general computing workloads, and it shows.
Social convention has always had a strong impact. Where I live, people will cut you in line if you leave a space big enough for them to fit and it's perfectly ok. Where I'm from, if someone did that, you'd end up with an angry mob and probably a fist in your face.

Social conventions are always stronger than the law; at least in person.
> Regardless of his qualifications, his point is interesting: J&J seems to be about as effective as a single dose of Pfizer.

The most compelling J&J number is, IMHO, the 100% efficacy at preventing hospitalizations and deaths. Is a single shot of the double-shot vaccines that effective? AFAIK that study was never run..
FWIW, in ternary the x->-x is a new 'uninteresting' symmetry, so for any non-constant-zero operation F(x, y) you've got a paired -F(x, y). If these pairs are uninteresting (eg, you can run the operation -F for free, given F), you can cut the number of operators by another factor of 2.

More generally, if you allow composition of a permutation of the trit values 'for free', (eg, F(x,y) + 1 is 'free' given F) you get to reduce the 'atomic' operations by a factor of 6. This is the same as collapsing 'G' and 'not G' among binary operators.

But I guess you've got to implement these in circuits at some point, so the symmetries aren't necessarily helpful (eg, NAND is a thing, rather than AND composed with a symmetry?). (caveat: i am, obviously, more a mathematician than a circuit designer. :P )
More like (2009).

I really hate and distrust Medium. You get garbage like this gussied up like it's coming from a trustworthy and informed source. I'm not sure why it seems that way in a way that, say, LiveJournal didn't, but it does.

The "you don't have to understand it, just accept that it exists and believe in it" line of nonthinking is a memetic neurotoxin. It sucks whether it's applied to blockchain, NFTs, gods, homeopathy, or an MLM, and a healthy mind should expel it on exposure.
I believe that Amazon's and Paypal's rates are exactly the same, but Amazon picks the cheapest rate automatically depending on if you pay more or less than $10 or so (it automatically considers it a micropayment and charges the appropriate rate), so I'd go with that.

PayPal charges a standard rate that you pick (micropayment or not), and if the guys thought most payments would be under $10, they might have optimised for that, so your purchase would be more expensive with PayPal.

TL;DR: Just pick Amazon.

Ah... Amazon Remembers identified the micro keyboard as a Casio CTK-2100 but that's definitely not correct. But worse; they say the red toy and the psudo-flute are both USB bar-code scanners... doh!
For the 125x125, take what you currently make by selling that spot, multiply it by 3 or 4, and use that as a starting point.

As for the product posts, if you have built a brand for yourself, having product posts that you don't have editorial control over could impact your subscriber base. Is it a product you believe in? If not, be prepared to wrap their product posts with some text that identifies it as a press release/paid placement. Since it is the end of the year, they may have marketing budgets that they need to spend, so, you might have a limited time to make a decision.

Figure out what your monthly revenue is for the site, figure out roughly how many impressions that article would likely see, do a little division, attach a value for goodwill - i.e. allowing them to buy placement is almost like you making a recommendation, and find a number you're happy with.

Based on the traffic numbers and the fact that they approached you, you could ask for $2k per placed article. If they complain, tell them that you have used the product, like what they are doing, but have to confer with your partner - what sort of budget did you have in mind?

Then, your partner - who could be your cat, friend, etc becomes the scapegoat if the offer they have in mind doesn't meet your approval. Or, if their counter offer seems reasonable to you, accept it.

Traffic is traffic. Traffic coming from a site that closely matches the audience you want to advertise to is gold. They have identified your traffic as appealing to their target market. You just need to set a price and take the money.
The illusion of limited supply makes Gmail accounts appear more valuable even if you're smart enough to realize that's not the case.
Of course there is no objective choice on that, but to give a bit of counterweight to that, I would note that Assange didn't leaked the information. He published it. He was not the one risking prison for getting the data out of the US network. Also the mainstream don't care that much about Assange like the geeks & journalists do. Most people don't care about the cables either.

Zuckerberg, though, created a tool that is used by many many people, and impacts much there daily life and the way they interact together. Facebook brought social networks to the masses.

Assange is in the runner-up, and history will tell what the right choice was.

Also finally, I would have expected the crowd here to be a bit more happy to see a geek - and startup founder - make the headline.
Cool spreadsheet, will compare with my own data.

I understand the need for “he/they”; I do not understand the need for “he/him” opposed to simply “he”.

If I see “he”, I and everyone else I would gather, would certainly assume that the object pronoun congruates.
They don’t need to be. It’s just less performant so easier to just say that so people’s expectations on tps etc match. I’ve seen it in many GBs run fine
On the face of it, that's true. In reality, it's not...

Your work machine is not your personal computer. The best possible machine is anything that makes you more productive and reduces friction for whatever you happen to do at work. That may very well be a Mac, or may very well be something else. If you company gives you a Mac but everyone else uses Windows and Outlook, that will increase friction and make you less productive, not more.

It's like asking for a red computer, because you like red.

I absolutely hate Linux on the desktop, yet I happily use Linux for work. It works just fine for work and reduces friction in a lot of ways. When I leave work, I switch to my personal Mac. It is actually better this way, I don't feel like I'm working when I'm using my personal machine.

My point is just this: if you impose a hardcoded set of requirements instead of finding our what works best for each particular context, you're probably as fixed-minded when actually working. Nobody wants a fixed-minded employee.
Same issue with Safari.

Ignoring that small issue, this is a well-crafted and mature resource, one I wish I had access to 5 years ago! Good job to the authors.
Apologies for the late reply, finally I had to get some sleep! No, you only get the datum for the loop from which the event is raised.
Same here, but without zooming.
No one credible believes this was a backdoor.
What you need to understand is people use rebase on their unshared branches. It's part of crafting your commit history to be a coherent set of atomic changes instead of the path you took while developing it all.

You rebase BEFORE you merge into the mainline branch.
But this thing works page-by-page.

I've been involved in one of the light-by-light theory groups a long time ago. The situation with theoretical prediction is not as clear.
Yeah, compensation is what we've agreed. The title is lower, as well as the scope of work you are trusted with, so I need to get +2 levels to get to the most interesting, impactful and technically challenging work, which will probably take years at this pace. The pay is good, although I could probably get 50% more without much effort at other places.
I used to hang with Douglas back in the day and we worked together a bit.

Douglas once told me he got sent a very detailed PhD thesis that described how The Hitchhikers Guide was an elaborate parody of John Bunyan's "Pilgrim's Progress" (1678).
The main evidence was that "Pilgrim's Progress" is known to be partly inspired by a pamphlet called, "The Plain Man's Path to Heaven", written by, get this, a puritan named Arthur Dent.

Douglas was embarrassed to reply that he'd never read "Pilgrim's Progress", or heard of that puritan, and the Arthur Dent name was a complete coincidence.

Things like that happened to him all the time.
In a large repo with many people merging, it helps keep things organized.

In my experience you can make an argument for a merge-based workflow up to around 6 people. By 12 it's painful and hard to track what's going on, doubly so when you have a dev branch and multiple sustaining branches or something more complicated.

By the time you get to 100 people or more committing to the same repo, it just becomes absolute chaos, and at least you can maintain a semblance of sanity in your official branches by forcing a rebase-based workflow on them.
I heard about Hercules but I doubt you would get a job with just Hercules experience on your resume.
