Upvoted.com does not affect Reddit.com -- like, not even developer attention -- we didn't move any Reddit developers off of community/mod tools, infra, or mobile.
It does one thing better than a password manager: it prevents rainbow attacks via forced localized salting. That's about it... Next HTTP can solve other problems...
This. Is the bootloader locked?

So far I have mixed feelings about tablets. I like the "tablet" part but not the "it is cryptographically sercured from doing anything that might upset a government, corporation, or business model" part.
I wonder how hard it would be to just virtualize linux all the time, rather than trying to load linux on new hardware. How much do you lose as the tech to virtualize gets better?
I'm sorry, I guess by referring to Apple I confused the point. You went off on some pointless irrelevant rant. How about I mention Google instead?

The seamless part is new, very new once a GPU is initiated it's locked, the fact that they can turn it on and off without a full reboot is quite amazing.

If you run a hypervisor setup with multiple GPU's you need to make sure that the UEFI and the hypervisor/main OS do not initialize them until they are passed through to the guest VM and after that you can't recycle them easily and usually need to reboot the host if you want to pass them through to another guest.
I don't have a lot of experience with WAFs in production - if I already use Nginx in front of my applications with appropriate rules and filters (which in turn feeds into graphite and Nagios), what more would the WAF buy me?
> and be assured that Amazon won't move your data into another region.

Is this true? If Amazon received a US subpoena requiring them to provide a copy of data on EU-West-1, is violating EU privacy laws a reason to deny a seemingly lawful court order? After all, it is against the law in the US to withhold the information.
And yet, many movies and TV shows (including premium TV that features no commercials) feature some level of placements from advertisers, be it subtle or obvious. And everything falls victim; even The Martian has a plug for Under Armour.
It certainly feels that way, perhaps because I'm so used to apt on linux and windows just doesn't have any equivalent tools that I'm aware of. There's still a long ways to go on the software side to bridge the gap between the Microsoft and open source ecosystems.
This is good feedback re floorplan editing + "pan" via modifier key, thank you.

The slow-ish feeling whilst moving the camera is due to the processing limitations of your machine, the scene is set to render as fast as possible.

I guess they haven't ramped up manufacturing for full production yet? Small batch runs will cost more.

It may also be artifically high to stop so many people buying one for the fun of it. As they will (almost certainly) have limited supply they want everyone buying one to be serious about building an interesting application with it.

He's said it multiple times, and has pointed it at specific people.

The Internet runs off of VC money and there's no investment opportunities in decentralized protocols.

oh sure, in an ideal world the dev kit would have all the capabilities of the live consumer device.

But when you're developing a new category of device, that's not always possible.

For a very related example, look at the Oculus Rift approach to VR. they've been iterating on developer kits slowly improving the hardware while letting people feel out how to use that class of device.

Ultimately it'll be down to individual dev. houses whether it makes sense for them to invest at this stage, or wait till it's closer to consumer launch
yes. I run ubuntu on my surface pro. Everything works well, with reasonably good battery life (not as good as win10, obviously).

it is a painful install process, but that should change completely with ubuntu 15.10
> "...it seems like a BuzzFeed clone, which Redditors despise."

Part of Reddit's weakness is the Redditor mentality. Do I have to adopt their way of thinking, acting, consuming when I sign up? No, but I'm sure a ton of the mainstream is turned off by it.

Want to show some growth numbers? Target users outside of your core demographic. Re-purposed content re-presented for a different audience is a pretty easy way do that.
YMMV, when I switched from Mac to Windows last year, my skills were pretty much transferable.

The biggest aid was finding a terminal emulator that worked like Mac's Terminal.
It's more of a question of if Linux can support the hardware.

The client sends the server

[salt, modexp(g, H(salt, password), n)]

The exponentiation makes the brute-force attack a little bit harder than a simple salted hash, but not that much. You can obviously replace the salted hash with something else, and that's a good idea, but the point of this post is that password hashes are insufficient to protect user secrets.

I disagree with the post, of course.
I'll be the odd one out and say that I will miss the kickstand on the Surface Book. For me, the kickstand is what has made the SP3 into the best computing device I've ever used.

While a proper laptop will cover many of the same cases as the kickstand, there are times when the kickstand can function as a hook, allowing the surface to be used in positions a laptop simply wouldn't be practical.

Probably my favorite example is to hook the SP3 over my steering wheel (not while driving!), and allow the keyboard to drape down mostly vertically. Certainly not the most productive position, but for videoconferencing on the go, it's come in handy half a dozen times.

Another similar one is lying down with my knees up. The stand wedges it nicely between my legs, with the keyboard over my thighs. It's fairly comfortable, and pretty good for typing.

Otherwise, Surface Book looks terrific. :)

Show HN: Venture Dealr – Visualize and turn the knobs on VC financing concepts
Raptor is the engine. Though it's unlikely anything baring the Falcon name will ever leave low earth orbit, it's just too specialised for the job of leaving earth's surface.

It's not even designed to stay in LEO, they go out of the way to make sure it falls back into earth's atmosphere within a orbit or two (often less than a single orbit).

You want to design a new craft from the ground up with the job ascending from mars. Ideally to save weight you want the stage's rockets to be used as many times as possible: Mars ascent, Mars Landing, Potentially orbital manoeuvres to get from LEO to mars and maybe the final part of earth ascent.

But making a rocket fire that many times requires the ability to refuel, perhaps even twice (both LEO and on mars). You also have to be confidant about re-igniting the engine that many times over 5+ years.
I would personally pick Pittsburgh, because I lived there at one time. Lovely city, so much to offer, and they are REALLY upping their business game. If it were me, this would be a no brainer.
I don't necessarily agree with him. People who live in countries with strict data protection laws are safer, but those who live in more lax surveillance might actually wind up less safe.

The word 'denial' does not permit of much nuance, does it? Smacks of faith and a religion, really. I wonder if & why you disagree with Judith Curry.

"The definition of ‘dangerous’ climate change is ambiguous, and hypothesized catastrophic tipping points are regarded as very or extremely unlikely in the 21st century. Efforts to link dangerous impacts of extreme weather events to human-caused warming are misleading and unsupported by evidence. Climate change is a ‘wicked problem’ and ill-suited to a ‘command and control’ solution. It has been estimated that the U.S. national commitments to the UN to reduce emissions by 28% will prevent three hundredths of a degree centigrade in warming by 2100..."

Some of these seem a bit extreme, converting things to pica from px, for example? I could see that confusing me if I was trying to work from the deployed CSS back.
What you are interested in knowing about is Universal Quantum Gates. These are the quantum analog of AND, OR, NOT from which all other computations can be built.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantum_gate#Universal_quantum...

In answer to your question, you are mistaken. The Cnot gate plus a few Single qubit gates {haddamard, pi/8, phase shift} are sufficent for any quantum algorithm including shors.

Also not to be pedantic but computers are made of silicon. Breasts are made of silicone.
> I use Vagrant on Windows and it works fine.

Not really - there are some big differences to keep in mind.

If your shared folders have symlinks, they won't work within the VM unless you're using Virtualbox's native shared folders, which is dog slow.

Permissions are also messed up if your VM is on an NTFS HDD - all files and all folders will basically be 755/777 within the VM.

There are plenty more tradeoffs.
TCL is still relevant. I don't think browser plugins are still relevant. TCL + emscripten seems like a great fit here.
I think they're banking heavily on users not really having anywhere else to go.
I'm kinda bummed now that i just bought the MBP 15" with dedicated graphics.

After finally swallowing my pride and getting an apple device MSFT announces this.

I've never been invested in the Apple eco-system and I've spent a week to find comparable software and even after that I'll still be needing to run a windows guest on VMWare Fusion 8.

If Amazon returns will accept it I might actually return it once the UK prices for the Surface Book will be published, the funny thing is that Amazon sold the MBP 15 for 500 GBP less than the apple store, it's almost like they new this will happen.

I'm running Windows 10 with multiple Linux server distros in the background. Hyper-V shuts them down and brings them up with Windows. WinSCP is my file manager and Putty is my terminal.

I prefer this over OS X on Apple hardware because I can get the exact Unix experience that I want without having to fight with Apple about who is in control of the machine. Perhaps more importantly, I get the desktop experience that I love, which is Windows.
ubuntu 15.10 is adding lots of support for the surface hardware
The Surface Pro 3 you could. Just had to disable Secure Boot for setup, boot from a USB stick, and after installation you could re-enable it (assuming you had a Linux distribution that supports Secure Boot signing).

Obviously nobody outside of Microsoft will know if that remains true with the Surface Pro 4.
I believe Bill Nye put it this way - a human geologist can do the same work as our current Mars rovers, but 100-1000x faster. So what takes a week for a rover might take a few minutes for a human walking on the surface.
> punting structures to C can be nice to organize data

I'm a Tcl fan, but the above is actually somewhat problematic, because to hold a reference to the C struct, you have to then manually free it later, losing some of the benefits of a language with automatic memory management.

Real dicts, and the new object stuff are big improvements though.

From the article:

At Second Source, the best customers were the most desperate. Often they were immigrants with poor English. Brokers bragged about their biggest rip-offs. For motivation, Hurwitz would tape $100 bills to the wall. Salesmen who weren’t cutting it would have their chairs taken away. “Why are you sitting on my chair,” Hurwitz would yell, “if you’re not making me any money?”

I'm sure those businesses were not physically forced to sign but I'd wager those phone calls were not entirely forthcoming on details as well.
My hunch is both halves have a battery. Also that 12 hours is listed as video playback, which is not how Apple measures.
The Question Interviewers Should Be Asking
I use Windows as a desktop but have it host a VirtualBox Linux VM for my real work because I don't find either Windows or OSX acceptable for serious Linux development. OSX is actually more insidious because it sort of looks like Linux and makes you think it just about can be Linux, but it's just not.

Under VirtualBox my development environment can match my production environment almost completely. There's no awkward "but here's how you do it in Windows/OSX" that mostly works but often doesn't in some subtle way. I haven't tried Windows 10 yet but this setup has worked very well under Windows 7 and 8.1 so I expect it will be fine under 10 since it's just an evolution. I've used this setup in OSX and Windows and it goes more smoothly in Windows.

One of the keys to it is that you use SMB to mount your VM disk as a local drive to the host, so you get the benefit of any Windows editor.

The main problem is that "software engineering" is a code name for "software management".

If you major in "mechanical engineering", you will take courses in calculus, linear algebra, probability, computer programming, physics (thermodynamics, mechanics, electrodynamics, strength of materials, maybe aerodynamics and viscous flow), control theory (what used to be called "cybernetics"), manufacturing techniques, CAD, and maybe a management course or two.

The corresponding curriculum for software involves things like programming languages, algorithms, data structures, networking, operating systems, software architecture, and formal methods, and it is called "computer science". What is currently called "software engineering" is the software equivalent of "art appreciation". It's a desperate attempt by the cult of managerialism that dominated that 20th century to figure out how to run software projects without understanding software itself; it's an attempt to substitute credentials and command structures for intellectual mastery of the problems to be solved and understanding of the techniques for solving them.

The consequences, generally, are what you'd expect from a book publisher run by illiterates or a record label run by Deaf people. Experian and CGI Federal wasted hundreds of dollars building a "healthcare.gov" site that didn't work; SAIC wasted hundreds of millions of dollars on building a Virtual Case File system that was ultimately scrapped. These are the companies that represent the approach known as "software engineering", that get CMM certifications from the SEI.

By contrast, the companies that make software you actually use — companies like Canonical, Google, Facebook, and Apple — put a great deal of emphasis on programming, motherfucker, and very little on things like SDLC, requirements engineering, and "formal" specifications.

This is not to say that the issues that "software engineering" attempts to tackle — like testing, requirements analysis, and software architecture — are unimportant. They are very important. But the field that identifies itself as "software engineering" is in fact failing to tackle those issues. It is not where the insights are coming from. They're coming from programmers and computer scientists.
Not much different than global warming believers that point to just trends that support their position.
About 10min after takeoff there will be no gravity, so the seats are practically useless anyway.

It's the pre-flight checks which will make the lack of seats a large issue, they need to be at the MAV at least 4 hours before launch and have the doors closed maybe an hour before takeoff (before that anyone not doing checks could sit in the rover)
