I still hitch hike when travelling, and a few of my friends do as well. It can be sometimes difficult to catch rides, so it's best done if you're not in a rush. The people you meet, however, are usually stellar. I got picked up by a grandmother, her daugher, and grand-daughter-- who were a fantastically sweet trio. They gave me apples when they dropped me off! Vietnam vets have also been common, as well as Mexican workers. An Indian programmer once drove me 100 miles out of his way (I think he was lonely for conversation, which I was happy to provide).

Hitch hiking has transformed my view of America/Americans and made me really enthusiastic about my country.
Well, it rarely happens, for starters. And I think the analogy with overhearing a conversation at a restaurant is completely off the mark. Broadcasting a message on a vast network like Twitter is anything but a private remark or conversation.

For the record, I would never publish anything I would overhear at a restaurant, nor something that gets posted on a social site but for an intentionally limited audience.
Yeah, I already have a couple of these, but I went for it anyhow. Partly because they provided a Steam key for the last ones, which I thought was really great.
This is precisely one reason why this site was built. To make sure people both inside and outside of the DC area knew of the entrepreneurial activity going on here and to encourage participation in the community.

You should have filed assault charges on the bitch. She doesn't need help from a sexist pig, yet she slaps you across the face because it's okay for a woman to slap a man.
I think the point is that you should use bcrypt and salt at the same time.
>> Most frequent sports analogy: "utility infielder"

That's funny. If I were using sports analogies about myself or something I was working on, I wouldn't use one that essentially means "bad hitter".
There are four ways to spend money

1. You can spend your money on yourself

2. You can spend your money on someone else

3. You can spend someone else's money on yourself

4. You can spend someone else's money on yet another person

As you go down the list, people get more and more careless with how that money is spent. Yet you suggest that #4 is superior to #2 (bureaucrat spending money on a third party, instead of the rich spending their own money on a third party). And that make zero sense.

Maybe having a few smaller suitcases instead of one larger would allow for a sokoban-style rearrangement while inside?
I think there could be something there, just needs to be tweaked. I recently came across this tool: https://www.tillerhq.com and instantly signed up. Think it's $10 a month or less. I think they do pretty good as well.

All it is is syncs your bank data to a Google Sheet and has pre built templates.

It doesn't have a great way of doing graphs tho, i'd love something like your tool but for analysing my transactions (not saying you should focus on that demo)

I've used this a lot in the past few weeks. It's really amazing. It has some trouble with triangles. But having a physics engine completely written in Javascript from the ground up using good JS principles is refreshing. One of the coolest features is mobile demo. Buttery smooth on my iPhone.
Simply genius.
Thanks for the reminder about integer division changing! I had seen some code in our (2.7) codebase that used (a/b), and I had wondered if I should be explicit about using math.floor, but this is even better.
I tried this and found it to be incredibly poor.

Then I discovered by reading the comments that this is because it doesn't work correctly in my browser.

Normally, I would advise you to prominently display information about where it works... except that in today's world, not being cross-browser makes a library like this essentially useless. Instead, I would suggest not bothering to publicize this until you have it working in all major browsers.
I just counted the projects on the page provided. That said, the Java culture does tend to encourage hypermodularisation so what would be one project in another language could turn into several in Java.

Some of them are a bit odd:

Others have really, really buzzwordy descriptions:

What stood out to me was the graphics in Crash bandicoot series. They always looked very good compared to other games which has the weird jumpy textures and very rough looking meshes.

I must say going with very minimal texture on Crash is intriguing. FF7 also uses very little I believe during combat, they all look like color shaded mesh but it clearly looks good on Crash.

All these development stories from 90s is fascinating, especially because there's a fond childhood attachment to the PSX.

On one of the Playstation Underground Magazine discs there are entire series on the development on Crash Bandicoot. These are truly a gem. Myself having watched the entire series.

> AMC is trading at like a reasonable price.

How so? Pre-pandemic AMC was at $7 per share, which might seem reasonable compared to the current $8 share price until you realize they diluted their shares by more than 3X during the pandemic via ATM offerings.

For AMC's current valuation to match pre-pandemic levels, the share price would have to fall by ~75%.
This explains a lot about why we can't kill the F-35 program: the contracts are spread over 45 states, by design.

You might be offloading some carbon onto delivery service, but those services are almost certainly more carbon efficient and you using a personal car to go shopping.

A delivery van might do 200+ deliveries in one trip. Compared to a single delivery in your personal car. That a huge number of people to split the carbon cost between.

You might argue that delivery can travel further, but that would just be ignoring the carbon cost of have goods delivered and stored in a grocery store.

I think almost certainly deliveries are more carbon friendly, after all the goods are coming from the same source, but with delivery every step the carbon footprint is shared with 10s to hundreds of other people. The only exception to this is probably takeaway food, in which case I recommend that you cycle to restaurant and eat there.
I love the phrase "roach motel" when it comes to a service provider who won't bend over backwards to give me back my content as soon and as often as I want it. Does that not describe Wix?
A couple of nerds are going to get laid for going to jail over file sharing, in a case most famous only on slashdot and a few other niche websites? Their 'social standing' with a couple of visitors of said websites, most of whom they never met, never will meet and don't even know the names of, is going up, and this is beneficial to them how? They have (as far as I can tell) no demonstrated writing skills, no recognizable name to speak off, and they're going to get jobs based on that? And even if they get a job, anything they'll make will still be confiscated!

The reality distortion field is strong on this one. Just going to jail doesn't make one a 'bad boy'. I happen to remotely know a couple of people who did jail time over fraud charges (which is the 'crime class' there guys fall in, and the group they'll hang out with inside), and let me tell you, they really haven't turned into women magnets all of a sudden just because they've been in jail.
Making a window the full width of the screen is nearly always wrong.
New Zealand desperately needs -something- good. For example, there's a student job search site (only for students) with around 2 pages full of awesome freelancer jobs (with good pay) yet I cannot sign up/get in contact with the submitters (because I'm not a student).

That's food for thought. I mentioned New Zealand, so perhaps you can find a locality where a Craigslist-type website would pay off well.
I am a big Linux and Open-source fan, but the author is lying to himself. His claims have absolutely no proof.

Espacially point 1 is a joke. How many Linux users habe anti-virus software?

For those of us that can't / don't want to install IE9, can you describe the differences?
This is just a suggestion, but it might make sense to post a CV, a LinkedIn profile, or something similar that gives interested individuals a better sense of who you are and what you're bringing to the table.
I would say it's mostly incidental - c++ like things are its biggest use case and get the most feedback.
Elon Musk was also able to pick up Tesla's Fremont, CA factory from other auto manufacturers for pennies on the dollar, which I'm sure had something to do with it.
> The next day we finally received a response which indicated that Apple had no intention of helping us with this situation. They asked that we communicate with the developer and keep them apprised of our progress.

INAL, but doesn't the DMCA apply here? They took content (images, etc...) from your app and attempted to distribute / sell it as their original work. If Apple's response is not an immediate takedown of the accused app, haven't they violated the safe harbor provisions?
I started reading the article (hadn't seen it earlier).

The article seems very long-winded and stops short of facts sometimes. For example:

"Solar cells contain heavy metals, and their manufacturing releases greenhouse gases such as sulfur hexafluoride, which has 23 000 times as much global warming potential as CO2, according to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change."

At this point I expect the article to tell me how much CO2 is produced in the lifetime of the vehicle and how much sulfur hexaflouride is produced while manufacturing photo-voltaics for a typical electric car. Instead the argument is left hanging.
In general, public/private keys can be used for the encryption itself. However, if you want to send a document to multiple recipients you would need to encrypt the whole plain text multiple times with each public key. However, asymmetric crypto requires much more resources than symmetric crypto, as the latter is basically a XOR operation only.

Therefore, in implementations such as OpenPGP/PGP, a new random symmetric key is generated with which the plain text will be encrypted, for example using AES as you suggested. Afterwards, this symmetric key will be encrypted with the public key of the recipient and attached to the cipher text.

When sending a document to multiple recipients, you only need to encrypt the symmetric key multiple times. The symmetric key is usually short compared to the rest of the document.

So if you are only encrypting for a single recipient you could encrypt using the public key directly. However, it would still need more computing power. This might be negligible on modern Desktop computers with lots of computing power and even hardware crypto support, but for embedded devices such as your smartphone it's still an important factor.

PS: Of course, there is more to OpenPGP/PGP such as the Web of Trust and digital signatures for verification of the sender of a document.
> A unique aspect of the IdVC funding model includes the option of cash distributions to investors.

> Traditionally, technology investors only get their money out when you sell out (another term for this is a “Liquidity Event”). An investment from IdVC doesn’t preclude you from selling, but in the event you stay independent, our investment will get paid out as distributions from cashflow over time. This is fairly common in most other industries, but we have not seen it applied to technology companies until now.

Are distributions required? How are they structured? When do they start? How are distribution amounts determined? Does the founder have a say in any of this? The attractiveness of this program depends a huge deal on the answers to these questions so it's kind of surprising that interested parties are asked to apply before any detail about the distribution terms are disclosed.

Incidentally, as for the suggestion about novelty, there are a number of revenue based financing companies that are focused on SaaS businesses. They function somewhat similarly but usually without an equity component. The financing company provides the SaaS business with a loan. The amount and repayment terms are tied to the recurring revenue the business generates. Some of these are structured so that they function like a line of credit, and many can be paid off early without penalty.
thanks, already on the way bouncing back! :)

> It’s really difficult to explain to a toddler why a parent is home but cannot play with them for half of the day.

I've worked from home through 3 toddlers, and very rarely had a problem. But I've worked from home for their whole lives.

This is probably something harder to transition into. Kids only really know what you introduce to them. If you've worked from home their whole lives they don't know anything different. If they're used to mommy working from home and them not being able to play with her, then they pretty much accept it.

We never tried to explain, we just said: mommy is at work, you cannot play with her, you can see her at lunch/after work.
What's the consensus function you use on the mobile coin blockchain. Couldn't see if it's proof of work or proof of stake.
Nice! The patient preview portal still works. I searched my name and luckily didn't find anything. You mentioned that the website was built in wordpress, but it looks like it's built in Vue. I'm guessing it was frustrating enough to rebuild?

Also that's really interesting you can purchase domain names with azure credit!
Right to repair is important, but this bill was too crude.
Can share much of the same code on front end / backend. Excellent built-in immutable data structures. Arguably the best modern lisp. Community is usually ahead of its time on state management solutions.

Typescript is probably a better fit for most people doing most things.
Encoding takes >40ms? Opus takes 5-26.5ms. Apparently 150ms[1] is the generally accepted upper bound for call latency.

I think the article could do with some bandwidth/quality/latency/power comparisons to other codecs.

Can they not do that with opus?
Programming in isolation is simple to learn. Rudimentary understanding of control flow, syntax and how to use primitive data types are literally enough to write any program in the world. I feel like 80% of people could probably go from zero to fizzbuzz in a week if they had a good teacher and a modicum of interest.

But the real world is so much more complicated and that it is the real gatekeeper. I've taught several non-technical people how to code, and the biggest first hurdles usually are: setting up their dev environment, installing dependencies, understanding the command line.

I think it's interesting that explaining why you have to add things to your $PATH is harder than explaining how an if statment works.
Yeah it is a bit sus to mention that in passing. As if it's yet another way these vily newbies nestles their way into the inner sanctum. Someone "playing the diversity card" is a massively positive thing for the industry in the long run, and should be encouraged.
Stop following, start innovating. I think KISSinsights or Olark are perfect examples of overcoming the tired old way of doing things (like the FAQ) and making things BETTER.
Sony already released their "Move" system, which many argue is better than Kinect..
I think notmyname's comment is great. It's so true the parallel to office space. The reason office space was such a successful movie was because of the real world experiences in corporate america that the audience has itself experienced. Thanks for sharing the comical real world example of office space like life
Are you use 0.6.x branch or 0.7 branch? 0.6.x is quite stable in my deployment.
A good way to develop experience in any new technology would be to actually do some coding work with it.
That's the sales tax, not the Apple tax. :)
Sure, everything has to start somewhere. Much more impressive canvas-based image editors have been linked here before though, and the mashable copy is awful: “While simple in nature, the app is really powerful. [...] Super simple, super effective. The fact that developers can take advantage of this portable toolset on their own sites is super cool. Even better, the functionality of this product is totally top-notch.”
Interesting. I just read the PDF to see - they were sending captchas where the goal was to translate a series of written numbers in the native language into roman numerals. So (une)-(deux)-(trois) --> 1 2 3 along with instructions for solving the captcha in the related language.

As best I can tell, the klingon used wasn't even in a latin font. So the correct answers were essentially translating arbitrary symbols into their associated numbers. Certainly throws off what I was assuming from the blog read.

They do note that the service, ImageToText, was the most expensive by far.
And on the blue team side of things, you can somewhat slow the attacker to a crawl for large data-sets with rate limits by tld, by domain, by source ip after a bit of tuning. Some SIEM's will detect this, but it's usually too late by then. In Unbound DNS, some options you have are ratelimit, ratelimit-size, ratelimit-factor, ratelimit-below-domain (this can be a TLD), ip-ratelimit, ip-ratelimit-size, ip-ratelimit-factor. The IP rate limits are most useful for this. You should then have a monitoring tool watching Unbound query logs and alert when rate limits are being hit. Rate limits are only useful for slowing exfil of large data-sets. This will not help for blocking exfil of keys. If you are also running Unbound on all of your servers, the rates to your edge servers in your datacenter should give you a more realistic query rate to look for abusers, especially if Unbound on all of your servers has a reasonable cache-min-ttl set. This is just my personal preference, but I set log-queries: no and log-replies: yes as this provides more useful information to detect some anomalies.
You have no sources for any of your claims.
Why is that unethical?
Interesting since the cordless vacuum (dyson v11) I use at home seem to work really well. The previous big corded model we had (Dyson DC33) was also built like a tank and served for almost 10 years before being passed on and still works so maybe I bought into marketing or maybe just different people have different experiences with Dyson products?
So your point is that Bitcoin isn’t a medium of exchange?

Humour aside, three meals represents the sweet spot for labour to produce edible food in the circumstances we found ourselves in. Grazing would interfere with other necessities of life for most people once some kind of division of labour emerged.

'Tiny close/cancel button surrounded by open/launch button' needs to be added to the list.
But a game costs hundreds of millions of dollars to create. Just royalties to sports leagues etc can be massive, for a sports game for example.

RMS should work backwards from that assumption and explain how to get such games into gamers hands while maintaining freedom. If he can’t then he should probably give up arguing that people should stop playing or switch to something completely different than what they consider a “game” is.
you could have left out the last half of your paragraph and gotten a much better discussion.

Many people really don't know what Freedom actually means. The rights and origin of Freedom with computing should be understood. Is it a natural common law extension of property, for example?

But that last half was just highlighting that you are not after a discussion or answers to your questions, and that it was just rehashing the same old points.
I honestly think it depends a lot on climate and the type of work you do.

Hot climates vs cold climates, hard manual work vs sitting at a desk.

Given that range I doubt there's any one size fits all "best" regimen.

I completely agree with you.

However, Kurzweil's argument focuses on the fact that he believes we will someday be able to simulate the human brain, and that's something I disagree with strongly.
