That wouldn't work, the same way it wouldn't work to park a stolen Ferrari or a bag of cash in front of your house to accuse you of something. The situation would be cleared up pretty quickly.
I loved so much reading it, I was thinking that if someone were to write fictional, sherlock holmes like fantasy story where our sherlock would take some (maybe fictional) widely used software at each episode, investigate it like this, and reveal some (fictional) grand bug in the end- I'd totally read it.

Yeah I know it sounds stupid, but I suspect real Sherlock Holmes was inspired by a true story like this one too, and at least some contemporary detectives started to enjoy reading them.
Each key hits a different part of the keyboard's plastic under-plate, resulting in a slightly different sound. I wonder where you could source the sounds..
Quite a few people in the dog community aren't fans of canine intervention either.

He's just another Cesar like trainer, just for a slightly newer age. I'd recommend not following his advice either, and consulting more positive reinforcement based behaviorists.
Yeah, good point.

Maybe it could be restricted to physical goods sent to the same address as the card (which miners could still flip, but it's better than nothing)
I think it’s more like Buffet would say you should either choose the optimal passive investment strategy (index funds), or be a fully active investor yourself (picking your own investment strategy), rather than paying significant fees for someone else (hedge funds) to actively invest for you.
Don't know about crypto. But any open source package, ported to a new environment (one not explicitly tested by the maintainter) is going to have issues. That's the nature of software.

E.g. I just added pnglib to an embedded assembly. Has a display among other things. Wanted to put compressed PNG images into (limited) flash, then decompress into (plentiful) RAM at boot.

Of course pnglib didn't build for my environment. Never mind it has a C library. There are 50+ compile switches in pnglib, and I was setting them in a pattern that wasn't part of the tested configurations. It didn't even compile. Once it compiled (after some source changes) it didn't run. More source changes and it would run until it hit some endianness issues. Fix those, and it would do (just) what I wanted, which was to decompress certain PNG image formats with limited features, once.

No problem. That was my goal, achieved. But at no time did I blame the maintainers for not anticipating my use case.

I would say this: maintainers, flag compile-time options that aren't tried both ways in your test environments. To give me some chance of estimating how hard my job is going to be.
I feel like this is a lot less impressive nowadays that first-class functions are common. It might as well be Python:

dx = .0001
def deriv(f):
def f_prime(x):
return (f(x+dx) - f(x)) / dx
return f_prime
x:=x+1 (Pascal)
I would love for someone to do this experiment.

In principle, Rosetta should detect that it's x86, perform the translation, and everything should "just work".

In practice, it's possible that the weird things APE is doing to get cross-platform compatibility will undermine one or more of Rosetta's assumptions.

I don't have an M1 Mac, so I'm not in a position to try it. But someone should!
>On the other hand, tails tries hard to keep the user's computer free from traces. But if the secret police has already identified you enough that they go and seize your computer, then you are already in trouble.

It's that it denies them evidence. If they search all tor users, they might find proof that someone else accessed badsite.onion, but they couldn't prove that you did. Also in theory you can use tails on any computer without leaving a trace.

Imagine I want to use my work computer to browse tor, if I use their operating system then they might have spyware on it. If I use my own then I'm more secure. (They could have keyloggers or other hardware stuff, but that's more rare.)
Great to see a successful example of a cross-continent, online-to-offline e-commerce startup. That Mall4Africa ships 4.5 tons of goods to Africa weekly reflects the massive and growing potential of oft-ignored or maligned W. African consumer markets, especially Nigeria.

Faster, smaller, pretty sure it will parse on the other end.
This is a really great idea, and brings something that's ironically been absent in this entire conversation: innovation. Why not "disrupt" the state of labor? So many startups are already involved in the art of social engineering and tweaking, why not create a modern equivalent to unions that could empower workers in a different way?
> Something I don't think a lot of people realize is that "programmer" is a working class profession.

That's like saying 'phone user' is a working class profession, and the ability to talk on the phone is a commodity.

Knowing how to code is an abstract skillset, and being a programmer doesn't define your social class, it's what you do with that ability.

I wonder how much Apple has donated in in-kind contributions to FreeBSD in the form of its employees contributing to the upstream as a matter of course of working on Darwin.
My thoughts exactly. This makes a very bad impression.
I mean less logical coupling inside the app. It's more in the family of a collection of libraries versus a batteries included framework. I'm considering that may be the best of both worlds. I never really liked the recreating the universe feeling of Flask.
We did try to get into YC a couple of years ago and made it to the interview. From the rejection email:

"However we struggled to convince ourselves that enough people would find this useful enough to switch from Gmail and to pay for an email client."

In the end, getting venture capital always seemed so time-consuming that we never contemplated the idea of doing it seriously apart from YC.
Can't wait to try that in ffmpeg!
Using an established cryptocurrency doesn’t provide a good way for them to profit.

MobileCoin is pre-mined and the majority of coins are held by founders and the MobileCoin organization. They want to sell you coins, so partnering with Signal to force you to buy their coins to transact on the app gives them a revenue stream.

If they simply added Monero, they wouldn’t be able to sell you coins.
Yeah the best thing to do would be to 50/50 test the email to measure the true impact. But I think the conclusion that "See it" is better than "Buy Now" is certainly reasonable.

The first thing I thought when I saw the two images was about mobile - it seems like the first version was a lot more friendly for mobile devices than the second design. Since more and more people are clicking through promotional emails like this on their mobile devices, that could also play a role in CTR.
Think about how you would specify a book in the "all possible books" library - you would need a number at least as large as the book itself, in the general case! This might be easier to see if you imagine the "library" as the set of all possible numbers (in binary) up to a certain reasonable maximum. So you specify the book...by giving the binary representation of the book, which is simply its index if you order them by their numerical value. So you can see how having all books in your library is the same as having no books.
There are very real and noticeable differences between a $30k and $90k BMW other than top speed.

There are NOT noticeable differences between a $30k diamond and a $3k moissanite stone. A better analogy would be $100 "professional HDMI cable" and a $10 standard HDMI cable.

Expertise: Engineering management, engineering culture, web performance, full stack web development

Résumé/CV: https://www.linkedin.com/in/gillesdubuc/

Email: gilles [at] dubuc.fr

Shipped complex web projects and managed distributed teams remotely for 20 years. I've worked both at startups and very high traffic established organisations (eg. Wikipedia, 4th largest website worldwide by traffic). I'm a web performance expert, having published original research on this topic and led the Wikipedia Performance team for years.

I'm looking for part-time work, with a preference for engineering management/fractional CTO opportunities.
Don't forget to mention that their consensus algorithm simply doesn't work. That's why they made it 100% centralized "temporarily" (without even asking, so apparently it was 100% centralized even before that). They themselves said exactly that in a blog post. Also, the creator of Ripple dumped all his coins before joining Stellar.
Of those, YouTube has the lowest barrier to entry for users. I'd guess because of that low barrier to entry that YouTube serves the most music traffic, but I don't have any stats to back up that guess.

YouTube is such a popular resource for music that someone has taken to making a Chrome extension based around playing music from YouTube. https://streamus.com/

The creator mentioned when talking about the motivation behind this project that they've had issues with the gaps in the subscription based services (Spotify, Google Music, etc), whereas they've had good luck with finding music on YouTube.

If I were a musician in this situation I'd definitely not want to pull my music from YouTube.
I would develop software even if I didn't get paid for it, but I wouldn't develop the software that other people want developed.
By robustness I mean the brain is pretty hard to exploit. You can't trick it into thinking an image is pornographic just by changing the color balance.
The Mosh license has been compatible with the App Store since October 2012. Nobody has done the port yet (which will probably require grafting on a GUI terminal emulator), but I'm hoping somebody will do it if the demand is really there.

I don't understand why you think the biggest SMS system in the world (which it is in practice) should open its API or use non-proprietary system.
Moreover you have absolutely no knowledge whatsoever on their technical infrastructure or their constraints as a business and a technology company. Making this kind of blog post, based on arguments made out of thin air, is the same as putting a redesign of Amazon on Dribbble and bitch about their current design.
Servers are very expensive. It is not cost efficient to buy a server and let it sit idle or turn it off.

Even purchased on the used market, a decent server could cost $4000; if you spread that cost across 4 years, that's $80ish per month just to pay for the server, which is probably around your power / rent costs.

The costs are more stark if you're buying new, where it is easy to sped $10-30k for a decent spec server.

Don't buy a server to leave it turned off, you're wasting money.
So basically, it's a fairly typical rare earth mine. As far as I can tell pretty much all of them involve relatively low yields and result in the concentration of radioactive elements like thorium. The article you link to mentions a mine in Malaysia which was (I think) the only major rare earth mine outside China for a while until it closed over radiation fears - and it's not that China doesn't have these problems, it's that no-one can convince the government to shut down mines over it. So the end result of this thinking is that critical stuff like electric cars, wind turbines, etc is completely dependent on a totalitarian country making sabre-rattling threats towards its neighbours, carrying out increasingly aggressive ethnic cleansing campaigns, which has a history of using its control over the supply of rare earth minerals for political ends.

> 68% of the income tax is not nearly enough, considering that the rich own the vast majority of the wealth, and benefit disproportionately from it.

Income is not the same as wealth. The top 10% earn 45% of the income and pay 68% of federal income taxes. How much higher would be "fair" to you?
After you say you are not allowed to disclose your current salary, they will ask you your intended salary. You should research your market's average salary in advance, and if possible, ask other developers in the company to give you an approximate figure. Aim a bit higher so you have a margin to negotiate. Don't go too high, or they'll think you lost contact with reality.
I don't know anything about your website and you expect me to give you my phone number? No thanks. Is there a link to a demo that I missed, because that would help a lot.
Nice beginning!

I agree with everyone that the UX needs some clean-up (default notebook created automatically, large Add Note button, etc.), however, there is one functionality that Evernote removed a long time ago, and I'm still searching for an alternative, and this new app also doesn't support it.

The feature to create unlimited child notes. It used to be that you could have a tree structure with a parent note, then a few child notes, then a child of those child notes, etc., but last I checked, there's only one layer of depth. Only one child note can be created for each notebook and you can't set that child to be the parent of another note. I love all the other features, such as tagging, clipping, etc., but this was a killer feature that I haven't found anywhere else.

Do any of you know an alternative app that has this feature in a note-taking application?

Suppose you build a beautiful statue in a secluded forest, with the intent of charging money for taking people through the trees to see it. Suppose further that as you have completed the statue, all the surrounding trees are felled by a freak storm, and anyone can now see your statue without paying you, by standing on public land. A large crowd now surround your statue day and night, watching it.

If your response is to call the crowd “parasitic, adolescent, [and] greedy”, then I suggest you are starting off your relationship with your audience on the wrong foot. You should be doing something like selling them hot dogs. If that is not sufficient revenue, try something else, like taking up a collection for your next project. But suppose that none of the many possible methods for raising capital work; then, maybe the time of large statues is over, and you’ll have to do something else with your efforts; something for which there is an audience willing to pay.

What you cannot do is declare that anyone looking at your statue is a thief, and lobby to abolish the public right to look at things, merely because it upsets your old, now-obsolete, dependent-on-no-longer-existing-conditions, business model.

The very idea of intellectual “property” is extremely suspect in these days of zero-cost copying. “He who receives an idea from me, receives instruction himself without lessening mine; as he who lights his taper at mine, receives light without darkening me.”
so $150B/5200 = 28MM . So $1.2 million per hour. and for 3 occupants, $400,000 per hour each.

I am sure the experience is awesome, but i wonder if space could have been done better.
The nicest thing about Hledger and the original[1] is the extremely simple file format. It allows you to write your own pretty easily (especially if you stick to the very simple format of a bunch of transactions). I wrote one for my use [2].

>I wonder if it's possible to generate a sound stream from video, and what sort of resolution and colour depth could be encoded in to the sound.

There was some work done on this. I don't remember how well it worked. I think this is it: http://www.seeingwithsound.com/sonar.htm
I was under the impression that more modern building construction and heating technologies have already made a large percentage of professional firefighters redundant - hence why they spend as much time responding to car accidents and working as EMTs as actually fighting fires.
Perhaps I'm misunderstanding how metal-air batteries work... I thought they used ambient air as the oxidizer, precluding them from being sealed.
I think the point is consistency (not just of your own codebase, but also the APIs you extend) rather than what is easier on the eye or on the fingers.
This is a good point, but it's notable that the only major strike victory since 2008 was by government employees.

There have only been a few other notable strikes in that time, outside of special cases like pro sports. And aside from one narrow strike (UAW vs Kohler), most of them have ended with token concessions (Verizon, which yielded to strikers much further in 2000) or complete collapse (USW Oil Workers, in their first strike since the 80s). It's not a coincidence that the last strike by GM workers was in 2007, right before the company became obviously precarious.

Government employees in general have been insulated from the decline in private-sector union strength. And beyond that, there's real reason that teachers are not a standard example of the "working class", even compared to other government work like the USPS. They are working class by salary, and that's important to remember. But it's also true that schools aren't subject to market downturns and offshoring the way manufacturing has been, and that teachers - who have multiple degrees and responsibility for people's children - are unusually hard to hire and replace.

I think you're right that the working class has more power than it's currently bringing to bear, but it has lost quite a lot of actual and even potential influence over the last few decades.
Wow. I want to thank you for engaging on that point! The "Hume's guillotine" dichotomization between "cognitive" processing and "affective" processing tends to be the thing our lab receives the most pushback on.
You don’t find it mind-numbingly boring though?
So what? That's not to say Congress isn't able to resolve this through their own legislation.
The judicial branch only interprets the law; they don't make it.
I ran into it this as well and the response from the folks running our block list said it triggered a "newly seen across all of OpenDNS" heuristic. This matches other similar blocks I've seen for newly registered gTLD domains.

Seems that this is the relevant documentation: https://support.umbrella.com/hc/en-us/articles/235911828-New...

"Ill-mannered" ? I can't think of anything more ill-mannered than a handful of companies abusing the letter of the law by "owning" all of the licensed spectrum in a given area, and then filling it with lowest common denominator chum in a race to the bottom.

In this day and age where main societal attention has moved past radio, most of the FM band should be put under a regime similar to 2.4GHz. Preserve the few remaining high power commercial broadcasters to maintain the capability for emergency communication, and let a vibrant ecosystem (without the revenue to pay hefty license fees) regrow on the rest.

(edit: Well, the exact 2.4GHz regime might not be the most appropriate, because the obvious play is to broadcast on every frequency for more exposure. But the spirit of my argument remains - "pirate" operations remain vibrant because they can't be bought up and consolidated the way legalized stations do, and so their operation should be encouraged)
The difference in end result? "Big" as in you'll look good, but not necessarily be strong (hypertrophy, bodybuilding). "Explosive" as in move weight fast, has many sports applications. "Strong" as in you'll end up looking like a bear but you can move ridiculous amounts of weight (albeit slowly).
You may be looking at "trailing 12 months" -- take a look at the quarterly charts, which do indeed report profits.

Then just pop Mac OS back on it and sell it for 80% of it's new value. Really almost no risk at all, as far as I'm concerned.

The US government should do whatever it sees fit for its subjects. That's not the issue.

The issue is that a US company should also be held accountable for whatever they violates abroad. Not by the US government, of course. But by the authorities of whatever foreign market they operate on (the only authority with jurisdiction anyways).

While the tide is gradually changing, so far a substantial part of the problem is that the US government has quite a few nasty ways to shield US companies from being seriously held accountable abroad. Still, the longer that reality exists, the more inevitable it will become that at some point US companies will simply be barred altogether from (some) foreign markets. You can only abuse a dominant position for so long, before the receiving end will no longer put up with it. That is, of course, when (or as soon as) they have the luxury of choice in the matter.
Without the camera, they don't have access to videos of me enjoying myself to the aforementioned porn.
This all said, I feel this is a massive non-issue. The EU announced their plan to do this very early on, and while I thought it was a bad idea for similar "property" reasons as you've mentioned, webmasters have had what? 3.5 years to change their URLs? We saw this with GDPR, and the bottom line just seems like its always going to be the Six Ps: Proper Planning Prevents Piss-Poor Performance.
