It doesn't seem to be working for me. I've got the S3 tab, an empty list of buckets, and everything else is blank. It also seems to be in some sort of redirect loop with a three or four second delay.

Is anyone else getting this?

Edit: eventually I got "Your request to Amazon S3 is taking longer than expected. Customers with slow internet connections may experience initial connectivity issues using the AWS Management Console to manage their Amazon S3 resources. You can refresh your browser and try again. We���re actively working to address this issue." I suppose I'll try again later.
Thinkpad. You can't beat the Darth Vader styling.
If you're looking for a Netbook, the Eee PC 1005/1008HA are, in my opinion, at least as good looking as Apple's laptop offerings. (They also have the best keyboard/touchpad of any netbook I've tried.)
I think what happened here is the poll was posted before being approved by someone slightly higher up the totem pole at Engadget and was retracted by said person so that a more full treatment could be done later.

People make mistakes, this doesn't really bother me too much, especially since they have apologized and promised a more in-depth re-post in the future.

What does bother me is how crazy people are getting about this. I understand being a fan of something, but there's such a thing as taking it too far. Yeesh.
Asymptotically, it's only O(N) for a meal priced N. In practice, since you only need to put in a few extra currency units, it's O(1). So it really can't get expensive fast.
EDIT: I just looked through the table of contents again, and it does actually have useful topics in it.

I was so scarred by my godawful, incredibly academic, college AI course that I only remembered the bullshit that we actually covered in that course. Literally nothing in the course was worth wasting my time on, and it looks like we went purposefully around anything that might have been relevant or interesting.

It's baffling to me that two of the worst three computer science courses I took were AI and Algorithms & Data Structures. Both had mindbogglingly abstract, mathematically-oriented profs, who spent every lecture transcribing proofs from the textbook onto the blackboard. How do you teach a course on these subjects and have no assignments that involve writing code? This is at the place where BASIC was created, for chrissakes.

Twitter is a conduit, not a publisher. The speech on Twitter is the speech of the users, not the speech of Twitter itself. This is no different from AT&T deciding they they will only put through phone calls from Republican users, because why should they be forced to carry speech they disagree with?
We talk about filter bubbles of information, but there are also filter bubbles of association. It is easier than ever to surround yourself with people who agree with you about almost everything.

People don't simply consume information and form ideas like a summary-generator. There's a strong component of imitation and rehearsal that is disrupted when the patterns of engagement with other people are drastically changed.
I think I get the logic. "Go home" is de-escalating, but "sacred landslide election victory is so unceremoniously & viciously stripped away from great patriots who have been badly & unfairly treated for so long" is repeating the same claim that's stoking the madness, and repeating it in very incendiary terms. Yeah, it might be reasonable to ban that.
Its sad to see that lots of programming languages and build tools aren't bootstrappable, or are only tortiously bootstrappable from a minimal Linux system.

Protocols instead of platforms:

Incredibly doubtful. Current attacks are, by this point, pretty well understood. One can simply "check off the list" of attacks and simulate the code gadgets to see what happens (EDIT: e.g. https://github.com/IAIK/transientfail provides a SoK with simple PoCs). In other words, I'm positive that no "script kiddie" can exploit any silicon using current attacks, not just the M1. *

The more difficult/interesting problem is being future-proof to whatever else undiscovered. Many Spectre attacks are heavily timing based, and even a single cycle variation in pipeline stages or flushing structures will spawn a new variant (see, MDS vs. Spectre). This is actually partially why a current trend in hardware research is trending towards fuzzing-type stuff [1].

Something also worth noting is that it's incredibly difficult to quantify "leakage". There's a pretty big difference between vulnerable and exploitable-- e.g. original Spectre papers had 10KB/s of kernel dumping, which is a big reason it was scary, but would it really be a big deal if it had <1b/s? Not going to explicitly name and shame, but there've been a handful of reasonable high profile "vulns" with cute domain names that I'm shocked to even see accepted at conferences due to how contrived the exploit was and tiny their leakage rates were.

I personally don't really know how to address the quantification problem, but I very much think it's necessary in any discussion of a bug's impact/severity. Definitely gets exhausting when every cute name gets a headline, and it's easy to blow things out of proportion without some grounding in reality.

* NOTE: I do think script kiddies have their place still. Definitely important to have automation to determine whether a system has updated security [2], it's just that I doubt such a scenario is applicable to Apple.

But mirrored vs mirrorless is not directly related to sensor size, there are mirrorless full-frame cameras.
That's a good point about the extra weight of the Cyber Truck which I wasn't aware of and yes, I can see how that all translates into better towing characteristics all around.
Biriyani, paella and plov is basically same (yet tastes very different).

What I’m interested in is why most soups in Eastern Europe are stock/“bullion” style while in west they are more like goulash/curry/gravy?
Weird, I had a totally different take and thought it was more of an exciting, fun concept with aspects of exhibitionism etc.
Counterpoint: all purchasing sites I used so far are tracking me (or at least try to). I am tracked although I pay for the site.

You have to factor in the fact that people know they are tracked whether they are paying or not. Given that fact I'd prefer not paying as well.
these are not companies. it is one company comprising of individuals
I am working in ATC (air traffic control). Controllers prefer a dumb tool with easy to predict deffects (like STCA) instead of a smart tool with infrequent random failures. Simplicity is underrated.
There's lots of other cringe there.
Many countries have exceptions to encourage entrepreneurship like the one you are mentioning.

Issues are borderline capital gain strategies to avoid revenue gain.
Again, I don't know how Colorado's legislature works, so this may not be perfectly accurate

They've avoided providing the necessary information to produce a better bill, and by tabeling it they can both blanket reject similar bills for being too similar to a postponed bill while also avoiding any political fallback for rejecting the bill.
Having looked into Ceylon and thought about this a little more...

Ceylon's subtyping is the big thing that is coming to mind right now that makes me prefer Haskell's type system. The purpose of a type system in my mind is to prevent bad programs from being written. But when you combine subtyping with generics you get a problem. Nothing keeps you from looking for an Employee in a Set<Int> because both Employee and Int are a subtype of Object and the covariant use of Set<Int> can be promoted to Set<Object>. But that's a nonsensical thing to do and should obviously be a type error. This kind of thing comes up a lot in practice and is a place where Haskell's type system is safer.
And there's a reason why Google is hiding or manipulating their numbers. They're poor. If they were good, you know darn well they'd be bragging about them. So they play tricks and games to try to hide that data.

i also had a treo 6xx (then upgraded to 7xx) and it was the first device that i could actually do work on the road with (email, basic web, ssh, phone).

i remember it had outlook integration which was especially awesome because my employer at the time used outlook and i was able to leave my work-from-home post during the day to have lunch or drinks with friends in san francisco and not be out of touch.

even though this was barely ten years ago, now i feel really old.
Local lore like this is always fun. If it ends up being a 100 year old tug, hey, it's still a story. If it ends up being the Griffin, even better!

But this caught me:

"About 1,500 shipwrecks have been found on the bottom of Lake Michigan"

Holy Toledo. Knowing nothing about the region, is Lake Michigan particularly dangerous? Or are there tens of thousands of shipwrecks in the oceans? I guess I never thought the number of lost ships was so high.
I am totally opposed to torture but I have no problem believing someone is "good" even if they think the CIA's actions were correct. Similarly, I try not to fall into the trap of thinking that people who disagree with me are either lying or stupid.
this isn't the first time zoom got caught red-handed[1]. Last year they were called out for installing a local web server in order to disable security controls to get around the deprecated NPAPI[2] ... this is literally what malware does.

About the same time this story broke I interviewed for a Paris based AppSec company and their CTO asked me to install Zoom. It was really awkward because I had to ask: "Is this a trick question??"

Seriously I wouldn't touch Zoom with a 20 foot stick!

I don't really know, but I'll guess. Maybe the estimate is done by taking the total for one day and subtracting out the total for the previous day? If the data were a bit messy and revised down, this might result in an occasional negative value.
I don’t particularly disagree for a developer, however networking/infra engineers I don’t think would say the same
Although NY is probably seeing an explosion in infections, this doubling is probably not a true growth in number of cases overnight, but instead representative of massively increased testing in NY.
Germany is treating this pretty badly. Many People here dont care. The FAZ (popular conservative newspaper) is calling the german reaction “resembling ancient roman decadence”
Not data analysis, just weakly argued opinion. Author even accuses “Germany’s virologists” of “lying”.

While this seems like pessimistic bias I think much of the confusion about mortality rates stems from the multiple definitions. Is the denominator infected, symptomatic or hospitalized? These three estimates - still very uncertain today - will vary drastically.

Here’s some actual data analysis on this subject:

Check out v2ray. You'll need to have your own domain, server, and a cloudflare account, but in terms of speed it is unmatched. Unfortunately many of the best tutorials are in Chinese.
And I'm pointing out how useless of a definition that is, because it renders us unable to distinguish between some languages which do have and use type information and other languages which do not. If a language has enough type information to automatically convert a number into a string, it isn't the same as one where everything is simply a machine word.

Plus, my comment about stringly-typed Haskell demonstrates that it's a property of programs more than languages anyway.
Thinking of actually working on a tool for this. Will have a blacklist of "searches" that might contain sensitive data and perhaps notifying via the email of the committer or creating an issue on the repo. Anyone else want to get involved?
I was just discussing this odd stereotype with a friend after discovering a German price comparison website called schottenland.de ("Scots land"). It's definitely not one that exists in modern American consciousness.
I'm probably a borderline ADD. My mind interrupts me constantly with spontaneus and needy impulses.

> I'd like to think heisenbugs are inversely proportional to skill, but maybe it's just luck.

Definitely some fraction of heisenbugs can be avoided through defensive programming techniques and adherence to best practices.

For example, avoiding mutable global variables reduces the potential for unexpected coupling between modules when they are combined into a larger system. Similarly, limiting concurrency to the smallest possible surface area of the codebase helps a system withstand increasingly chaotic real-world input.

Aggressive injection of randomness into unit tests (using proper random seeding) can also help to detect potential heisenbugs early.
Yeah it seems so, since earlier was this line:

A number of importers, including Singapore, consider the details of their sourcing to be confidential and a matter of national security.

As in, they won't even admit from where the sand is being imported.
Wow, I like this article a lot. It's anti-capitalist and anti-turning everything into some profit-motivated enterprise, but it stops short of using communist/socialist/anarchist/revolutionary terminology!

What an excellent read. The challenge is to see if the system can be reformed at all (most likely not) and to concentrate on building up alternatives that are more meaningful.
I'm curious, any chance this was in response to the earlier HN post about Dropbox and mediocrity and startups languishing[1]? I know @stammy has moved on to Notifo, so it would seem like it fits.

Sad day. I was at the Startup Weekend where Skribit came about. Glad Paul is doing good things at Notifo though. Onwards and upwards.

Also want to echo Paul's shoutout to Georgia Tech's ATDC. They are happy to help any entrepreneur whether or not you went to GT, and they are awesome, so if you are in or near Atlanta and building a solid startup, do yourself a favor and look them up.
Alas, the minimum brightness on the current ipads is a no-go for night flight use, IMHO -- it's still too bright.

This pilot uses it right now; well, technically I use an app called ForeFlight that's a bit more mature than the app in the OP however it's the same exact concept.

It's wonderful; I still keep paper charts as backups but never use them anymore. ForeFlight just released a new version that meshes GPS data with the instrument procedure maps (called approach plates) as well as with airport maps (really really handy when you've landed at an airport with a ton of taxiways).

They even built in a way to further dim the iPad screen so you don't blow out your eyes at night.

The GPS antenna in the iPad is a bit weak, but there's a slick BlueTooth enabled widget that takes care of that issue.

The only downside is that there's no datalink, which means no live weather. As the OP mentions, once can download weather ahead of time but that's only sufficient for pre-flight planning. On a long cross country over varied terrain in instrument meteorological conditions (IMC) it's still handy to have at least a Garmin handheld device with XM Weather. There are still flight service stations (FSS) that can help you out with the weather but there's nothing like pulling up Nexrad data to your cockpit display while in the soup.
Figure this is as good a place as any to ask - I'm a graduating U of M senior looking for a developer partner this summer for a few ventures. Let me know if anyone around Ann Arbor is interested!
Did I just read that employers read potential employee's tweeter accounts? This is odd. What does that have to do with coding? I hope they meant the employee's work related tweeter account, which they got from the employee.

Anyways, the article is good, but mostly for very experienced developers who can demand certain accommodations.
I started off with 1k, then 16k. 16meg was a Big Deal(tm). And now... 16gig isn't really enough. All this over... 30 years.

I think now I've got icons bigger than 16meg. The size/speed/space of computing continues to slightly amaze/boggle me, but only because I saw it 30 years ago. I don't think most people looking at it today can grasp the magnitude of the changes.
I see your point, but I guess I don't see why it matters. Like, let's say Person A says horrible stuff because he hates women, and Person B says the same horrible stuff because he likes hurting people and the person he wants to hurt is a woman. And let's say I have a crystal ball that tells me which is which. What do I do with that information?
What projects on the scale/complexity of Photoshop are implemented in Python? Possibly large chunks of Youtube or Dropbox?

I love Python for small scripts, and even don't regret it too much for programs with mild complexity (~5000 lines of Python), but the lack of explicit typing makes figuring out what any given function/class does pretty hard. What are the arguments? What do they do? What does the return type do? Where is this thing initialized? Finding the answers to those kinds of questions are greatly aided by an IDE/source code browsing that is anchored by types.
> C isn't actually that great as a compile target.

That's not the point. C is a great common tongue, as its function call and name lookup semantics are simple, and it doesn't insist on being in control of memory, scheduling, etc. Perl and Python are pretty similar, and both talk to C, but calling between Perl and Python is enough of an unholy mess that it's usually easier to just print text over a pipe.
I'm in my mid-40's and this trick has worked for me for over a decade, including just a couple of weeks ago. (@mjklin - I'm not an MD and I'm not being flippant, if you're already having problems in this area you might want to see a urologist about it. Nocturia is a problem for relatively few people our age - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nocturia#Prevalence)

I can't use the water trick day in and day out, because I get habituated to it and end up sleeping through my bathroom visit.

I also have to be careful about how much I drink; too much and the bathroom visit happens in the middle of the night and back to sleep I go. But 10-12 oz consumed rapidly within 10 minutes before my head hits the pillow seems to be the sweet spot.
So he wakes up earlier, but is his sleep as good as it was before? Sleep is meant to be a recovery process and without the building material from food, it might not be very efficient.
Nor do I have any particular affiliation or affinity. It just sounds like poor UX/UI.

I guess the whole "hover over it if you're confused" thing is pretty established by now, so I'd say your original assessment is probably the correct one. I just want us (the industry) to get better at this stuff! :)
You're being downvoted but you're right.
There's also a Policeman [1] that works using fast and powerful domain-and-request-type matching. No thousands of injected CSS rules or anything like this, that persist and consume memory. Think of hosts file on steroids, that's able to differentiate between image, script and flash requests.

So I use linux on my laptops as my primary OS. Mint on my thinkpad, crouton with xubuntu and chromeos on my chromebook.

I often talk to other developers here in the bay area about their computers, which are almost invariably macbooks. The reason that they continually cite for macbooks is battery life. 10 to 12 hours of typical usage including web browsing. A bit less if you are doing a fair bit of compiling.

If you want to make a laptop, you can do fine with commodity hardware, provided you pick devices with an eye on power. That may mean working with suppliers to get better drivers. I personally don't care if they are proprietary blobs or open source... but power consumption on linux vs. windows is often tracable to driver issues.

I mean a reasonably good screen and keyboard and trackpad are all important, but reasonably good ones exist out there.

Iou need to spend a lot of time tuning battery life. You need to figure out which commodity hardware devices draw the least power. You need to make the computers sleep instantly when the screen is closed. Get battery life up.

If you are going to innovate on hardware, this is where I would do it. Lenovo has a internal battery so you can hotswap external batteries. Dell had a separate arm processor with their Latitude |ON feature and got crazy battery life, and the Moto X had a separate dedicated processor for certain functions to improve battery life... maybe have your machine include a low power multicore arm processor and use that as much as possible, only using your intel cpu when the arm is overwhelmed or can't run a specific program.

The other thing is you have to make your first product good enough so you can improve your second product. Because to really make something good, you have to innovate.
I always wondered why Github didn't have comments by default, or at least as an opt-in. Thanks!
California is known for having the toughest regulations in this area.

Kentucky had a limited emissions inspection regime from 1999-2005, when it was killed by the Republican governor. The only current inspection requirement I know of is if you purchase an out-of-state used vehicle. We have plenty of ancient cars on the road that have never been inspected.

Sometimes police officers will pull you over if you have obviously-broken headlights or such, and tell you to fix it, but not often.
What is this? Where is your failed product?
I found only libraries. Which I find in awesome-ios.
But it isn't that simple. There isn't a "proportional split" that can depend on the Schrödinger Equation. This is exactly why QM behaves non-intuitively in the first place - you can't add up probabilities from individual events, you have to add complex numbers and only at the "end" you square them and get probabilities. So it's would be a nice analogue in MWI that the world just splits up and that's why probabilities arise, but it doesn't fit.. :/
How to Take Smart Notes is hands down one of my favorite books and I incorporate a lot of the lessons learned in both my personal and professional life.
I've recently thought this would make a great business model. You set up a service where you deploy open source tools like email, picture storage, etc to run on aws lambdas for people. All they would need to supply is a domain name (via oauth access to dns providers) and an aws account. For a single user, the app's costs would probably be under a dollar for a year. They pay you a one time setup fee, and a maintenance fee only if they want to receive updates. Configure nightly backups for them, etc. I'd definitely pay if this existed already.
Wood smoke is actually pretty bad for your lungs. It's a known carcinogen, although not quite as bad as coal:

Stop name-dropping "Game theory" into everything. Life is more complex.
I would say Google is completely responsible as they choose to hire contractors for the purpose of mistreating and exploiting them. If Google replaced this contractor or hired their own employees then Google shouldn't be blamed, but as is they hire people to do this for them. It's their fault.
