Yep -- it seems like a readline problem. As you can tell, I don't use this machine for Python.

Kidding.
I don't think the issue is sensitivity, but association of advertisers with tragedy or creating a vulture-like appearance. You don't want to advertise Southwest in an article about a JetBlue crash.
I don't want to sound rude, but you just need to get a job. All the problems in the world will come to you to be solved, so you get all the chances you like to apply your knowledge and eventually get to be really good.
Put it on Google Code. Oh, hang on....
For simplicity sake we can see the password as representing a infinitive long stream for a one-time pad generator with the seed being the hash of the 64-character password.

The way programs detect if the encryption is successful is usually by looking at the first bits of information with the assumption that random collisions are unlikely to produce an expected pattern. Not all decryption systems does this however and some just give you the data as produced by the given key.

Both are however just technical details in how to turn the potentia of the random-like encryption data into information.

Looking for a great summer internship opportunity to do meaningful work in tech. I have experience in both web and application programming, and I've done some professional work in reverse engineering.
I heard on the radio that it’s number 4 on the UK government’s list of things to worry about.

Sorry to be data free; it was an interesting factoid though.
What’s the progress on supporting something like this in future versions?
Agree. I have $550/yr Amex Platinum and any vendor will be hard pressed to get Amex on their side
I agree with saying that Trump can't be blamed for the existence of the corona virus and a lot of deaths related to it - but there were expert suggestions to shut down travel much earlier and more aggressively than what Trump did and, honestly, the US per-capita deaths are quite high - we're somewhere in the top ten globally - so I don't know if it's fair to say that Corona virus' extreme impact is entirely disconnected from Trump either.

I prefer to focus on more concrete and demonstrable failures but I think in a few years when we can really parse this data we'll find that Trump's actions directly led to hundreds of thousands of avoidable deaths... but, I'm not certain.

The biggest failure I think we pretty clearly made in handling the virus was not quickly building up some nationalized vaccine production facilities. If ever there was a time for some good old state capitalism it was this pandemic and a few hundred million invested in setting up facilities we know we'll eventually need would have paid off handsomely.
I like undeadly and OpenBSD in general but this "reporting" feels a little premature as dhcpleased(8) has just shown up too. It seems these daemons are being introduced as part of a larger co-ordinated design change. I imagine clarification about the motivation behind these changes will appear in the near future (before the 6.9 release).

You don't think its appropriate for users to have informed consent?
Same here. In my local area I understand the transit. I have a transit card. But when I am in a foreign city that speaks a different language these are not realistic options unless I spend effort on figuring that out and deal with local municipal transit authorities, which is not the vacation experience I am looking for.
My guess is a migration from key value(or most NoSQL) to relational would be an easier path, right?
That's how I understood it, too.
TL;DR: be a cheapo and then bam! buy sth expensive.

It's all about what you care more: the nice pleasures in life, or the big stuff you are waiting for. Personally, i don't think his approach differs much from someone who is a spender, it's a matter of what gives you more pleasure in life. For someone who cares about the nice add-ons like driving a car which is expensive to mantain, but gives you the joy, it's the same clever/stupid thing as saving for a camera. You could say buying one expensive product per year and living lower standard every day is irrational. YMMV, and that's it.

Oh, and if someone feels offended that this dude calls other stupid - he's quite known in photog online community for such statements.

Besides that, some points can be useful for someone who isn't a spender by choice, but because he cannot manage their daily spendings.
I repeated back what you said so I could point out how daft it was. Then you denied saying it.

I explained where I saw that and you denied saying it again.

I explained (again) precisely where in your comment I picked up what I said, and now again you say I have no ground and am lashing out and am one of "Lenin's useful idiots", whoever they are.

Meanwhile you haven't addressed the main question I was curious about - how could Apple practically have been pro flash on their mobile devices when there is no mobile flash, and wasn't several years ago when they were developing iPhone 1, 2, 3 and now 4.

That is you reading words into what I say, talk about conspiracy theories!

No, I'm just reading what you say, that's how reading works. What you say happens to include lots of weird inconsistencies that when you say them make you look odd and when I repeat them back you say they make me look odd.
I agree that twitter and citizen journalism have shown themselves to be quite capable of disseminating information and news.

It's still not quite the same as reading a well written, unbiased, in-depth analysis of a story in The Economist or The New York Times (or even Al Jazeera).

Sure, there's a large market for "news-tainment". But I think there's also a market for high quality journalism.

I'm also tipping that people are more likely to pay (and pay more) for the latter too.
Most web based applications will help you manage your accounting through the year (invoices, expenses, etc), but you will still want to hand off your records to an accountant to sort out taxes and generally get counsel.

Xero, Freeagent, Less Accounting and FreshBooks ( <- Disclaimer: I work @freshbooks) are all solid resources that - to the best of my knowledge - will work in India.
In my sense, the only way to do it right is to have an accountant. It's his/her job. I know it doesn't sound "lean" (ho buzzword) but how would you react if a accountant would ask 'website resources for accountant?' and saying that he wants to make money out of a website?
Some people won't get on board with fail fast.

Others are on board with fail fast, but they are purely focused on fail fast and don't get the vision part.

Ever hear people complaining that lot's of modern web companies look more features than products? Based on my experiences and interactions, that is primarily due to lack of vision.

Worst of all, some people have no vision and don't get fail fast. They are missing on both counts.

All I am doing in this post is giving my opinion that both the vision and fail fast execution are important, and this is the particular way that I think they fit together.
I don't know any specifics, but on Y Combinator's page they say:

"We make small investments (rarely more than $20,000) in return for small stakes in the companies we fund (usually 2-10%)."

Which I assume means $20,000 = 10% (max of both ranges). So a 30% stake, at this stage, is worth $60,000, which is less than the salary of an average experienced programmer, so is it such a bad deal?
>we should be happy that there's some form of survival of the fittest still impacting the breeding of homo-sapiens.

This is a terrible line of thought. Evolutionary fitness is not measured by us, and we have no obligation to support it. This is a massive fallacy. It is classic rationalization.

Those that survive are fit by evolutionary terms. It doesn't matter who survives or why you think they should. It is perfectly acceptable for unsuccessful people to reproduce, since that is the very adaptation that ensures their survival and guarantees their fitness.

Flies survive by reproducing en mass. Thus they are fit. It doesn't matter if they are only flies; they fill their niche and evolve just the same.

You cannot control evolution by choosing whether or not to reproduce. Evolution doesn't have a 'plan' for you to interfere with: it is simply what happens. It is the outcome.
If the government doesn't control how IDs are administered, they can't create laws that are enforced based on ID. You can create an "extra" ID, but it's effectively worthless for anything related to a law.
> It is far more useful than wealth, and invulnerable to inheritance tax. It is brains.

Not to sound unfair, but isn't this how mate selection works? Why would two successful, bright people not want to mate and create successful, bright children? Isn't this what we want for our children, to be bright, capable, with functional, stable households and marriages brought about by parents who they themselves value education and a stable marriage/family?

I'm all for equality and the anti-aristocracy sentiment (I was a first generation college student, and my parents come from humble backgrounds), but it seems like the whole bend on the genetic predisposition of privileged children based on what they are born with seems like exactly what the whole point of evolution of the human species is about - creating a better version of ourselves.
All these questions test my google skills, not necessarily my front end skills.

I was stuck in many even though I write JavaScript everyday.
The other closest thing is probably an exokernel, which is essentially a rump kernel with all the of the stuff that's optionally in userspace removed from the kernel. MIT did a lot of experimentation there.
From Prof. Malcolm Smith

"I have always thought that the memristor is rather a weak concept. It is defined as a device with a nonlinear relationship between flux and charge. A linear memristor is the same as a resistor, so in linear circuits the element is not meaningful. The definition does not pin down the type of nonlinearity. So the difference between a variable resistor and a memristor is not sharply defined. The mechanical equivalent of a variable resistor is of course a variable damper. Variable dampers and semi-active dampers are of course used a lot in suspension systems"
Doctors aren't used to being reviewed in this way, so some are only going to go into this new world kicking and screaming.

The good news is that it's very hard to win a libel judgement against somebody in the U.S. — as far as I know, you have to show that somebody said something they knew to be false and did so with the malicious intent of harming you.
i read that page and i'm still clueless as to the need of & in the argument list...
"""Us old timers remember 2001-2004 when anything related to the internet was ridiculed as a ponzi scheme. The conventional wisdom was no internet company would ever make money and all the ideas of the dot-com boom were stupid."""

No one was saying that in 2001-2004. People were saying, "Man, we made some stupid investments in 1999." There's a world of difference between the two.
>"People in authority can be wrong."

Having authority seems to rot the brain worse than watching television does. Has anyone else noticed that managers and teachers seem to be even more careless with details than their workers and students? Of course, the causality could go the other direction, per Dilbert's Law - they could have been made managers because they were to incompetent (careless) to actually do the work. Or could have become teachers because they realized they were too incompetent to do productive work.
Slightly off topic, but do you have any idea how often the average is recalculated? I only ask because I've noticed that my average hasn't changed since it appeared in the top bar, yet I've doubled my total karma in the last two weeks.

Based on the formula you just gave, my average should be 3.27, but it still shows 2.55.

I realize it's a bit of a meaningless metric, but it's something I've been idly pondering for a few days.
excuse-me. last time i checked i couldn't even use the ssh client that is installed by default in my phone.

pretty much all the good things you mention are for rooted phones. The stock one is just as dumb as an iphone.

Android could be the PC-revolution all over the mobile industry. but it choose to start with baby steps :(
I'm sorry but he said to "backport it to 1.6" which would mean taking code from a more advanced version and making it work on an older codebase.

Out of a few possible meanings, you chose the most baroque.

When writing portable code, you have a few approaches:

1) Target least-common denominator, and enable advanced features on richer targets ("Graceful Degradation").

2) Target one platform/version maximally, and bundle your own abstraction layer for incompatible targets (Cygwin.)

3) Create your entire application in an environment created solely from a few, universally available primitives (a la Java Swing) or create your own ultra-portable runtime (java itself, Flash.)

4) Co-bundle a bunch of versions of the app for disparate platforms into one container format (Mac fat-binaries) -- this is the ugliest form of portability, almost analogous to ad-hoc polymorphism.

5) There are also self-improving systems that boot off simple stub code, and load more functionality from remote hosts, possibly compiling themselves on the new host, possibly using partial-evaluation and specialization, etc.

As a programmer, your first instinct for making a piece of code portable should be along these lines. The idea of patching the world to accommodate your needs should never cross your mind.

I would have loved to make this discussion about Android portability strategies. I mean, if MS-DOS 5 and 6.22 were binary compatible for device drivers, even though they used completely different device "models", then I am sure we can bump heads and exchange tricks for Android, iOS and other mobile OSes that are about to shatter like champagne glass on tarmac.
Yes, I was also surprised by how poor some of the client's writing skills were.

I just wanted to comment on how you said you forced yourself to use correct grammar and punctuation on IM. I also use IM a lot, but I tend to adapt my writing style to the other person; if they don't use capitalisation, I don't, if they use 'u' for 'you', so do I. I don't think it's affected my academic writing skills.
Can you even tell the difference between arabica and robusto when the beans are roasted to taste like fire pit ash? That said, Americans are no strangers to overroasting our coffee just as we overhop our beer.
I think ccTLDs don't work so well in a globalised world. Many internet services are not country specific, and ccTLDs sort of put you in the local business category.
> The only difference between this and a peanut allergy is that people don't feel the need to moralize about how we're enabling peanut-avoiders like it's a bad thing.

Er, no. Most people are doing a rough calculation of frequency of real allergy to self diagnosis and quack practitioners.. Substitute another food like wheat and you get a different result. Then people start asking why perception of allergies is spreading when actual prevalence is unchanged and you get back to the proven science understanding of psychology, placebo.

Just the Netherlands in general. In fact, Amsterdam has so many tourists that don't understand how biking works in the Netherlands that you're arguably better off in just about any other Dutch city.
I don't think this is a legit new model by Tesla. Do you really think they wouldn't have properly tested their "shatter-proof" windows before a global unveil? And fail twice?

This is a really well orchestrated publicity stunt designed to boost the stock price. They calculated that even the failed shatter proof windows wouldn't matter much in public opinion because the car itself is so ugly.
In the UK you can buy a "travel card" with cash at any Post Office counter, they are just regular MasterCard cards and can be used like any other debit card, including online purchases. They are even reloadable and contactless too.
A blend of hackernews, Reddit and Pinterest would be nice.
The US has a very difficult to problem to solve within the ranks of its police. They've become militarized to an extreme degree, which is in turn either moving their rank-and-file more to the right, or attracting those who are already there, or both. The NYPD, as an example, have had multiple instances of openly supporting Trump while on duty [0] and just yesterday, I think it was the head of Chicago police union severely downplayed the Capitol riot and even openly sympathized with them in the media [1]. Add on top of that the images of the Capitol police either taking selfies with the rioters or moving the gates out of the way to let them in, and yeah, you've got a problem.

I hopefully don't need to further elucidate why that polarization is a very bad thing. It amazes me that so many of my friends -- I'm white, middle-class, from the Midwest -- do not understand why so many fellow citizens are afraid of the cops and feel like there are two systems in place.

This is precisely why iOS and Android should never have allowed an app direct access to our Contacts. Rather, everything from the API should be anonymous hashes AND be different per application. The OS should also have supplied a "Contact list UI" that gave apps a unified way of displaying contacts without giving away the keys to the kingdom.

Otherwise, once your contact list is uploaded, everyone's privacy is violated.
It won't mean much long term, it's more of a manufacturing shortfall than a shortage.

The distinction I'm drawing is hand-wavy, but the point is that it's a planning disruption rather than a resource limit or whatever.
I'm in the opposite situation. A friend has iMessage on the computer but just SMS on the phone. There's no way to force send an SMS on iOS anymore. All the guides I've found just mention the "Resend failed message as SMS" but messages never fail, they're just queued on the computer.

Remember when BTC used to be fun and exciting? Stupid projects being created, tipping widespread all over the internet. It was created to be a "peer-to-peer electronic cash system" (quoting from the whitepaper title)... oh how far it has strayed.
> IMO, a python script should not reach 1500 lines, unit tests would be much better.

My take was that Python's lack of static type checking led to the script being an unmaintainable mess because it was risky to refactor and gradually made impossible to audit, to the point where around 30% of its code was dead code that no one was able to spot.

Adding type checks was the key to fix that.

This anecdote feels like the norm in Python projects that fail to use static type checks. Without type hints, you are forced to manually check all code paths that directly and indirectly touch the component you need to change in order to reason if a minor change has catastrophic consequences. With static type checks, instead you only need to look at the type declaration or function signature to determine what you and cannot do. I don't understand how some Pythonista still try to pass this off as a feature instead of a fundamental problem.
From an IP perspective aren’t NFTs the perfect sale? Basically you can let people squabble over ownership of the NFT without having to give up any IP rights over the work itself. At least when you buy a physical painting you can do what you want with it.
You can bin people in any number of arbitrary ways. Just the fact you can bin people does not make the binning usefull.

Meyers-Squid is equally valid as any other fiction driven binning process. Like dividing people into Hogswarts houses.

Stability alone is useless if the predictive qualities do not extend beyond the binning process. Being INTJ only predicts the next time you do the test (if the scoring is stable) you might be more likely to score INTJ again. It does not predict the tested persons’ life outcomes or performance at work, in personal OR statistical sense.

The scores don’t predict anything of value outside of the test framework. This is what it means to be useless pseudoscience. It can be a fun party game and thus be usable as a facilitation tool, but beyond that it’s useless (or harmfull if someone tries to use the scores for something like ’creating balanced teams’).
It's odd that no one has analyzed the 433 MHz band to find out what is interfering with all these signals. It's most likely to be a bit of misbehaving equipment permanently on a channel.
This is yet another proof that advertising is a cancer on society and should be kept in check by regulation otherwise it ends up taking over everything including paid products and pushes ad-free products out of the market.
because there is no such thing as "cool invented money" it is either useful for society or it is a scam.
I'll repeat my comment [1] about the resolvd addition. It's premature to be "reporting" this as the design intent is not something that's been publicly shared as of yet. Unsurprisingly this is just making users ask "What about dhclient(8)?".

all it really proves is that the average apple consumer isn't as smart as the average apple engineer.
Of course they do, the most recent one is called the "PlayStation 3 Reference Tool", and costs about $10k to a qualified developer.
It looks like Second Life plus FPS game. I can see how that could be a human black hole. The biggest barrier to entry for SL is figuring out what to do with yourself in-game. If you just got sucked in to fighting orcs or whatever right away, the addiction would take hold much faster.

I was talking about the documentation - but for APIs, I create mocks.

For instance my work last week relies on an API that requires a VPN connection AND a windows machine.

I tested and mocked the API on windows, and now work offline, without the VPN nor Windows.
I use HTTPS everywhere and it seems to work. Facebook chat doesn't, though.

I don't like using GMail too much, but I'll be damned if I let Facebook see anymore of what I communicate than what it does now.
