Ah, that hadn't crossed my mind. But I'm guessing that new modern compiler-environment of theirs sure could be useful surmounting such a hurdle.
Why say so? You found pua's here? That d be shocking.
I don't know, but none of what they did was even marginally useful against iterated password crackers, so, change your password.
Add to that the risk of not paying someone for work done. Or paying them a token salary but being required to offer them the same health coverage all your employees have (due to plan requirements).
<laugh> Very clever. The Qi reference may not be obvious to the US cousins though...
Platform as a service architecture is so cheap these days that you can pretty much drop that sys-admin time down to 0-1% with very minimal cost.
Most drugs are not strongly physically addictive. Most drggs have short risk-free withdrawal times. Alcohol is rare in being a drug that has a risky withdrawal that needs medical supervision - and even that's for people who are on the very heavy end of the drinkijg spectrum. (A litre of spirits with an ABV of 40% per day is what you need to get a medically supervised withdrawal in England. That's about 33 US fluid ounces per day). People can be having serious problems with drink and mot reach that threshold.

Saying "you can just quit" ignores the severe trouble that a few people find themselves in with things that are not physically addicting.

Telling someone with a gambling addiction that they could just stop is an over-simplification. It's such an over-simplification that it's dumb, and thus it's not surprising a few people felt it needed a downvote.
As someone who used to work at Mozilla, I think the move to an overarching Firefox brand makes a ton of sense. I’ve had this conversation a number of times, all around the world:

me: “oh, I work at Mozilla”

them: “who? Should I know who that is?”

me: “you know, the Firefox people”

them: “oh my gosh, I love Firefox! I use it every day.”

People outside of tech know Firefox, not Mozilla.
I don't know why you feel that my post is in anyway attacking you or the scenario that you've repeated.
I'm going to wait and see what they come up with.

But for decent scalable PHP hosting there are lots of options - sure you need to do a little configuration but, as an example, I just purchased another couple of "shares" on Gandi.net tonight.

Adding "share" as extra capacity for a server that needed it took a few seconds. Booting up a new instance on another "share", whipping nginx and my default configuration on took seconds (to set the script off, then it was a 10 minute wait).

So what, I guess, they have to do is put together a comparable service that removes the extra 10 minutes configuration work but adds benefit and doesn't cost any more.

(don't get me wrong - if they make it, I will use it :D)

Something opinionated is by definition not balanced (in the sense of giving everything an equal shake) or factual. "Fact" and "opinion" are antonyms. And I can't imagine what it would look like for an article to be opinionated but not explicitly favor any particular view over another.

Are we using different definitions here or do you genuinely believe somebody arguing that Steve Jobs is a worthless sonovabitch is being evenhanded?
Perhaps a better solution is to make trains more cell-based. (Think ATM.)

Each "car" holds just 2-4 people. they run on the tracks and switch on and off at the right stops. Very granular.

But still like a train in that you have tracks and power from the tracks. There is no conductor then, so everything would have to be computer controlled.
With Heroku, you'd store those 20gb of images on S3. Then you have thm in development as well as production. And once they're up, you don't have to move them around.

Women have the tendency to do things like not get PhDs in technical fields, vanish from the workforce for years on end, insist on a work/life balance and not be compulsive gamblers. This reduces their representation in finance.

Um, why does any of that matter when women would increase corporate profits? If hiring lots of women traders would increase corporate profits while at the same time decreasing the number of PhDs at a firm, why on Earth would that be a problem? Do you think Wall St firms have a legal obligation to their shareholders to maximize the number of PhDs on staff?

And I've never said that women were "guiltless" in the housing bubble.

Seems unlikely. The tracks that Erik was able to identify were by a wide enough range of artists that it's hard to imagine that they'd all collaborate on a CD release.
I vaguely remember Zoom back when the story about their clandestine web server came to light, but quickly forgot about it when they patched the bug.

Now that it's back in the news as one of the only companies who might financially benefit from COVID-19 (their stock is up significantly, last I checked), they seem to be everywhere.

I've seen some large news orgs using WebEx, but that's probably not new for them as they need something that's really enterprise-grade and won't go down on a whim.

To that end, why has Zoom caught on so much this time around? iOS has FaceTime and Android - at least Google variants - have Hangouts. They're system apps, and everybody already has credentials sorted out.

Does anyone know Zoom's relative marketshare before this hit?
Quatico.com |Lead (React+Java), Fullstack, Backend (Java), Frontend (React), DevOps | Zurich, Switzerland | SALARY: 90k-130k CHF | ONSITE | Swiss or EU member-states passport-holders only

We currently are looking to hire one fullstack (React, Java) senior engineer, or team lead. We have a "engineering over management" culture where you find engineers both with formal computer science background and also ones, who are self-taught. Our CTO worked with Erich Gamma et al before.

We are building tailored web apps with heavy number crunching on the server - e.g., we built the software analyzing all the weather data in Switzerland. We do custom development with a heavy engineering part and we regularly impress clients with software that rarely needs maintenance.

Our interview process:

1) Phone screen with our CTO

2) Two sessions of remote pair-programming with our engineers (no algorithmic questions but reasonable pair-programming tasks).

3) Onsite half a day with us.

Tell us if you want to hear more and say hi:

Who uses industrial/commercial toilet paper in their homes? The factories can stop creating more but the existing supply is locked in large rolls most people don't use in their homes. Even not in large rolls it's not as nice as most toilet paper people use in their houses.
I've only used Erlang in hobby projects, but it seems like a consequence of the "let it crash" philosophy being applied in an awkward situation. But I don't have the experience to know if this philosophy is something Erlang/Elixir programmers ignore in a circumstance like this, and if so how they determine when circumstances are such that "let it crash" should be ignored.
If the first two points are supremely important to you, and if you have enough resources, then yes, it's possible you may find more flexibility in an app.

On independence and interoperability though, doesn't an open WebRTC stack spec'd by an independent standards body give us our best hope there?
It does not work this way if this attack is targeted on a very few users and it's trivial to serve a different scripts to a different users.
Rarely are we in a position to "accept" or "deny" changes in language. They just happen, with or without our consent. All we can do is try to keep up and make some sense of the current state.
Typical freemium model. They reel you in with F2P and as soon as you're hooked onto food and oxygen and all that you find out it takes in app purchases to have any fun.
The "security theater" comment probably got you downvoted because it seems like an insult against HN, when it's probably more of a general reflection that not all sites need HTTPS, which is a fact (some need to not have encryption, both legally and for functional reasons).
No, it came from a reading a history of the Crusades, which certain Kings and the Church did view at the time as a method of getting troublesome Knights out of Europe, or at least that is what is stated by many historians.

edit - and why give up on a successful strategy? It pays to keep the experts in the use of force busy.
Historical corn yield in Missouri:

http://crops.missouri.edu/audit/images/CornYields_MO.jpg

What was that you were saying about "does not work"?

Note that even in a horrible year, the yield is still about 3x what they were getting in the early 1900s. In a good year it's 7x-8x.
In this case though the edited title gives less information than the original one.
That's why my rule is shorter first :-)
This is personal experience talking: there's a close to 100% chance you're clinically depressed. Try speaking with your girlfriend about it if you need some encouraging to try to work on it. I stopped pursuing treatment for about 4-5 years and really wish that I had that time back. The way you describe having fun when you get out but not pursuing it yourself describes the way I used to be perfectly. It gets comforting or reassuring to do nothing to make it better, because that's all that you're used to - but once you find something that helps you and return to a better mental state, you'll realize how bad it is now and wish that you started sooner. Don't get me wrong, it's very difficult, and there's never an easy answer to finding what helps you feel better. There will be times that trying will make it worse. But after 10+ years I finally feel close to normal again and it was very much worth the effort. If you'd like to reach out or talk further, let me know, I would be glad.
The only reason to have kids is if you think you can do a good job raising them.

It makes no difference why they were born, or how it helped you. The only thing that matters is how you raise them.

There are plenty of people who have children in order to mature, be adults, and progress in life. If you love them, and pay attention to them, and intend to raise them well, it works just fine.
There is a balance to be struck.

Progress depends on humans being lazy. We have inventions and innovations precisely because humans are so good at finding ways to make their (own) lives easier - usually by eliminating repetitive tasks via some kind of work-around or alternate approach.

There is a well known quote about insanity [0] and blind repetition that occasionally gets associated with idiocy too. If everyone was always starting from first principles, we could argue that humanity, as aggregate, is insane. (Which might still be true!)

Repeating experiments to verify results is good. Doing the same things over and over again likely means you're not learning.

Thanks @michaelpinto, your comment is helpful. I know some bits of project estimation, but I'm looking for some cohesive strategy that'd help us develop an operating rhythm. I'll read the book you suggested. Thanks for the pointers.
This comment is ambiguous in intent, but worrying in effect.

Peak oil is worriesome for a variety of reasons, but peak element / mineral (or more important, exhaustion of readily available or recoverable sources of same) is much more so - there's no wind or solar equivalent for certain elements.
Stop it please, or PHP will win this race easily. With just 1 line of code. And it doesn't mean anything.

School only dates back until 1914 or so. Modern psychoactive drugs weren't around until the 50s. The Internet and lack of exercise are both new. Can't comment much on our diets, but I know crops from modern farms have a lot less nutrients than food grown the traditional way.

As for most Americans being basically retarded, just look at the decline in reading ability over time. As for America being a police state, the numbers (and laws) speak for themselves. As for society collapsing, the decline in critical thinking ability, reading ability, the national debt, environmental degradation, lack of long term planning, infrastructure collapse, etc. all point in the same direction.

In any event, the generation coming of age today is the first generation in American history whose parents believe their children will have worse lives than they did.

fwiw: working as a professional (in any field) does not make you a scumbag. but justifying personal material gain by belittling professionals who volunteer their time and skill for free, is obnoxious at best and the very scum of this earth at worst.
This is not unique to finance!
I think you mean "against the use of words and phrases", as it is not a misuse to give them their current meanings. ;)

I'm pretty stoked that Microsoft is no longer evil/complacent and is innovating (again?). This is of course not the beginning of this turnaround, nor even the first time Microsoft-as-Good has reached me for unabstract personal benefit[1], but this is probably the first thing I've seen from Bing that could make the rounds being touted as cool without my first and overriding suspicion being "total astroturf".

Back in the days I read Slashdot, I very viscerally hated Microsoft like only a teenage Windows-user reading Slashdot could. I switched to Macs after the Intel changeover and I've been increasingly locked into Google since Gmail. Completely removed from their ecosystem, when (rarely) some news of Microsoft bubbled up to my attention, I watched with bemused indifference. Lately though, with Apple's behaviour especially, I've borne actively good will towards Microsoft. I'll probably never use Windows again, but I want them to succeed. Competition is good, and it's also very gratifying to see this affirmed.

Yup that is the trade off. If you are looking to watch newer content in HD via streaming, Netflix if it ever gets to this point is going to have to up its pricing. There is a reason Netflix is so cheap, and that reason is also why so many people complain of lack of brand new released content.
In most jurisdictions they lost the vast majority of the power they once had, so what about them?
Hey vbezhenar,

I don't see nothing morally wrong on their business model. I'm just pointing out it is illegal under the current law and that's why there's no Spanish Uber. Also, we all know this is not ride-sharing, just a cheaper and unregulated taxi company. Blablacar is ride-sharing :)

Transportation costs in Spain are far from free, but if you were shocked I would recommend you not visiting Britain for your health's sake. Well, I actually recommend visiting the country because it is beautiful, but just don't hop on a train.
That's how we got our Sienna. I got it down to 2 salesmen at different dealers (one a fleet sales), and was about to save a last $300 on one, but the competing dealer agreed to come to our house and deliver the car (which was huge at the time b/c we just had twins which was the reason we went minivan), so we went with him. Felt the pricing was much fairer this way.

I'll probably go with TrueCar.com or something like that to automate the process next time, unless I get a Tesla.

In case you know someone in charge : the wifi performances issues on yosemite are still not completely solved. This is my only gripe with this version so far, but having to turn off bluetooth to get a good connexion from time to time really feels like working on broken software.
It's a good idea to add -w/--no-overwrite (or --output TEMPLATE with autonumber) to that command line so you don't clobber your existing files, for safety.

EDIT: YT does not send a 0byte file for deleteds, only a "video unavailable" error.

I wrote a curses scheduling application for warehouse managers and essentially just set it as their login shell to a machine that only did timesheet stuff.

Funny you would mention that... using a curses or TurboVision based TUI app is kinda what I was thinking about that inspired this hole avenue of exploration.
> they almost always produce better results when starting with a better model.
I didn't prepare and to tell the truth, I was getting over a cold (which is why I was rubbing my nose so much). What helps me, beyond watching other good long-form speakers in similar interviews: reading and thinking at length, using the Socratic method in my own head.
Thankyou. I certainly hope so. I wouldn't have a hope in hell of passing any of the programming interview questions I see posted.

I'm trying. So far my biggest problem has been not getting interviews because recruiters pretty much slam the phone down the nanosecond they ask me how many years professional experience I have so far and I answer honestly.

I'm trying to get some projects into a usable state so I have a few things to point to and say "well I created this and this", but I'm... I'm not fast at this, at all.

A theory is something that has been rigorously tested, this is speculation, and shaky speculation at best. Id be willing to bet sars and covid 19 have a similar level of genetic similarity

I find this partially interesting but mostly lucky.

I don't see this hack raking a lot of dollaroos. "stealing" someone's account would be far more dangerous. That said I'm surprised that Patreon will just let people recycle accounts like this without even a second step.

This is no different than DNS parking after a domain fell off the wagon, only with direct revenues.
Yes. You need vaccines and needles with low dead space. They could comfortably extract 6 and even in some cases 7 doses from vials.

Initially some doses were wasted because it was unclear whether that was a legitimate thing to do.

Then, after explicit guidance, they said "OK, these count as 6 doses, then, for the purpose of our Federal contract!"

Then, Feds scrambled to ship supplies to ensure low-dead-space syringes were being used everywhere.
I take the point, but one thing we've learned in trying to have a sizeable online forum where the values are 'civil and substantive' is how destructive the little jabs can be. If we're to have the intelligent discussion you speak of, we all need to edit our jabs. It takes discipline, and there's a cost, but it's necessary. I've had to learn this the hard way, and am far from the only one.

I've often wondered why jabs, swipes and sarcasm are so corrosive on HN when anyone who knows about the history of discourse knows what a lively role they have played. Literary wit, especially, is frequently scathing—both an art and a sport. Not having an answer to that is why it took me so long to learn not to engage that way on HN.

But I think I know the answer now. It's because this community is many orders of magnitude larger than those were, and so the lowest common denominator is both much nearer and much suckier. Keeping that at bay is HN's major task. It makes the discourse a little more bland, but the alternative is not lively exchanges of high wit, it's YouTube comments.
> Gold and Bitcoin might not be flexible enough

I won't agree or disagree with this as it pertains to today. That said, I would like to point out that the American industrial revolution happened during a period without central banks and their "flexibility."

That particular economic revolution makes anything in the 20th century or beyond look quaint in comparison. >4% a year real GDP growth for a century, CPI deflation. A dollar in 1900 bought more than it did in 1800.
It's a bit of a shame that radiation hardened chips are stuck so far in the past.

I believe the volume is so low it does not warrant the investment to make radiation hardened versions more often.
What makes a TLD that costs $45 or $75 or $200 a year any better or more valid than one that costs $12 or $15 a year?

Because one private for-profit company holds the sole rights to register things on it, and can charge what they want?

Why should ICANN be giving a license to private rent-seekers the ability to charge more than a fair profitable price for something that exists in a fully-automated software purchase/checkout/zone file entry work flow?
There's nothing political in the simple fact that Bitcoin (and blockchains in general) is a bad technology for any of the uses that it's advertised for: https://medium.com/@kaistinchcombe/ten-years-in-nobody-has-c... (and the second part, linked directly from that article)
150Mtx/day means less than 2000 tx/s on average, but you can't dimension the throughput of a system on the average load… If you read the entire sentence in the link you posted, you'd see that VISA's network can handle peaks way higher than the daily average (which is mandatory if you don't want your payment system to break during Black Friday or the last Saturday before Christmas).

> VisaNet handles an average of 150 million transactions every day and is capable of handling more than 24,000 transactions per second

And even if a 256MB was enough, it's still way too much to work with the incentives of the bitcoin protocol: you cannot expect people to run full nodes on dedicated machines with several TB of storage, without any retribution whatsoever. And if nobody runs a full node, then the mining cartel have total control of the blockchain, which is obviously not what you want…
Ah ok. For a single node homelab setups I just throw everything on hostNetwork, second choice is NodePort (if there are port conflicts). In general k8s ingress on baremetal requires deeper understanding of its network design
