I used the Rogue Wave pre-STL C++ libraries.

I developed a poorly-performing NoSQL-like DB library using their BTree, serializer/deserializer, file-interface, and collection library components. Records had a primary index (for storage order), multiple indices, arbitrary binary data payload, arbitrary-sized values in index "columns". It worked reliably but there were file fragmentation issues and delays during "vacuum" operations. This was in 1995 / 1996. I was junior and didn't know enough about system-level concerns, having come from a more computer-graphics / algorithms / math background. The company didn't want to shell out for expensive canned solutions. Our product sold well enough, but I learned a lesson.
Any idea on where one can find the whole corpus of what Nash put together? I've seen the paper and the youtube, but that is most of what I can find.
> It should be ok to reuse passwords at different sites - provided that the passwords are never exposed to those sites.

> To cryptographers, the phrase “prove you know something secret without exposing it” instantly suggests “use asymmetric cryptography.”

No, wrong, stop right there!

The phrase "prove you know something secret without exposing it" instantly suggests that you should figure out what "exposing" means before you try to design a protocol. If I'm a user reusing a password between two sites, then it's unavoidable that either site can try to brute-force my password. However, it would be rather nice if an attacker who hasn't compromised either site can't brute-force my password without interacting with one of the servers for every single guess.

That property is achievable using well-understood techniques, and this blind use of asymmetric cryptography fails to achieve this goal and is unnecessarily complicated (what's the PRNG for?). The primitive you want is an "augmented PAKE". The IRTF CFGR is very slowly working on standardizing one, but in the mean time there are several high-quality augmented PAKEs out there.

Also, note that I said "primitive". A strong primitive does not automatically make a good protocol. CBCrypt's docs say "Keypair is ECDH 256, derived from SeededPRNG". This raises all kinds of warning bells: while there are perfectly good protocols based on ECDH, ECDH by itself just gives an /unauthenticated/ session key, and from a 30-second look at the code, CBCrypt appears to be trivially vulnerable to a replay attack in which a malicious server A convinces a standard client to give it a valid authenticator for a session to a different server B.

Very nice, some nits though:

A slightly bug-ish thing with the zoom. One can continue zooming (moving the "focus point"?) even after it visibly stops zooming due to collision, making for a sorta confusing experience.

Both right-click and middle-click behaves like left-click when over an item, is this intentional?

Items can be hovered & selected through walls and moved the same way but there's no visual indication in regards to what's happening. There should be something like the red "can't move", except white or a transparent "item", visible through walls in these cases.

Minimizing harm does not mean not causing pain. With the help of Uke, the idea is that through years of repetition you'll learn how to respond correctly in a way that disables Uke while minimizing harm.

It's the difference between: do I punch you in the face and break your nose to disable you, versus, do I respond to an attack coming from you in a way that you find yourself suddenly on the floor, incapable of moving.
I like challenges like this because I can prove you can write elegant solutions using only vanilla JavaScript, HTML and CSS. This one is too restricting though, why not push all request via the websocket? That's how I do things nowadays, using sockJS to provide compatibility with old browsers that don't support Websockets.
Your mind may work differently from the sort of mindset that codeacademy works for. You may have a learning disability or just a different learning style.

It might be worthwhile to get checked out for a possible learning disability. If you have one, once it is identified, you can look for resources on how best to accommodate it. Specific disabilities respond well to specific approaches.

You can also look into learning styles. Your mind can just work differently from the norm without it being a disability per se, but it will impact how you best take in information.

You might try going to Hacker Events or networking or looking for a tutor. Sometimes, someone can explain something in person more effectively than any book. Or you might try going to the library and trying different books to see if different approaches work better for you, etc.

Try things you haven't tried yet, things that are different in some way from what you have been trying.

On Unix you can do pretty much whatever you want as long as "whatever I want" can be represented by a string of text. In PS you get to work with objects. PS is more like a Python shell than bash.

If you want, your PS commandlets can return strings as well, so it's not like every part of your pipeline has to be in PS either.
No such thing exists for software.

Could you be more specific then about what part of following DO-178C guidelines and FAA certification process you find inadequate, such that, "no such thing exists for software"?

I do not mean to belabor the point, but am genuinely curious what you might find to be an acceptable level of rigor for software. [EDIT: or perhaps you literally mean that no such level could possibly exist?]

In a few weeks of immersive experience, you will see that your body will start accepting Office 2013 and you will not notice the lack of contrast anymore.

Thanks for the details! I tried to find some while writing my comment, but what you wrote is much better.

I didn't mean to claim that management wasn't important. I meant to claim that the proper way to manage software projects is not by "software engineering", but rather by giving the reins to somebody who knows what the fuck they are doing. "Software engineering" is a smokescreen to provide fake credentials to charlatans so they can get put in charge of projects like this.
Dumb question: if all the ice melts, especially in Arctics shouldn't the see level fall down as volume of water is smaller than volume of ice? And with increased temperature there is also increased vaporization and world's average humidity - another reason for sea levels to fall down.
Larry Wall Unveils Perl 6.0.0
As a traveling consultant, the durability of the Thinkpad design is nice, but holy hell does it suck to carry through an airport, or to shove under the seat in front of you. I've had to switch to a backpack for my laptop, since a normal bag puts too much weight on one side of my body. A backpack is so much less professional than a laptop bag.

And then I drop it from a table onto a cement floor and the body cracks and the lid won't close anymore. So why do I put up with a laptop that's 50% heavier than a Macbook yet still breaks when I drop it from a table?

Or maybe Thinkpads are supposed to be used on desks at all times.

> you start to realize that the setup of a problem which can be solved by machine learning is actually worth more than the learning.

This is a fantastic point, but I'd like to also caution readers that they should spend some time understanding the elements of statistics and machine learning before jumping into theano or Weka tutorials. Lately, I've seen a lot of voodoo ML in the valley, starting with billboards on Highway 101 that pretty much just say "Artificial Intelligence & Machine Learning" along with the name of some company, like its some sort of panacea.
If I had the spare cash for 2 cams, I'd set them up on my motorcycle for insurance purposes. I've heard too many stories about motorcyclists getting hit and being blamed for the accidents.

Honest question: Has anybody used telemetry from a personal wearable device in the context of using it as proof of testimony, or something akin to that?
What we call "Computer Science" is the discrete analogue of differential equations. It has absolutely nothing to do with software engineering. CS programs don't teach software engineering, which can be thought of as "how to design, build, grow, and maintain an effective software system in a team environment." Since most Universities prioritize research faculty over teaching faculty, software engineering skills are generally undeveloped in fresh college graduates, and tend to be passed along by mentors and senior engineers in software teams to junior engineers.

Shy of Universities hiring prominent open source software developers to serve as part-time teaching faculty, I don't know how we could push the transfer of these skills into the university setting and expose students to this knowledge at an earlier age.
That's not what my lawyer says. Our servers are only in the US and we were instructed that if we were to accept European customers we needed to go through the Safe Harbor process.
>There would be no real advantage to this short term debt at %0, even if you're panicking,

There is an advantage to 0% short term debt vs cash. If you have a lot of park somewhere you can't simply put it in a savings account. FDIC protection only goes so far if your bank of choice goes belly up. So what are your choices? Well you can buy commercial paper for a while but after certain amounts that market dries up too (because there simply isn't enough of high quality commercial issuers). Treasuries are available in gargantuan quantities, are highly liquid, and assumed to be risk free.

>What this does indicate is that the fed is buying treasuries directly to keep interest rates low.

That's not really true these days. There was some of this going on up to the last round of quantitative easing but since then the levels held really steady:

Well, with any Intranet software you're going to have some element of vendor lock-in. Sharepoint has at least been around for a long time and gone through a number of major functionality upgrades. I have a new appreciation for Sharepoint after seeing too many of my clients using collaboration software that is either homegrown (and the developer left 5 years ago, which is when new feature development stopped) or no longer supported by the vendor.

And I agree with your points about SQL Server as well. It's not very popular in the hacker community to talk about licensed database products, but SQL server is rock solid and far less annoying to configure/test/deploy than Oracle.

I can't speak to Aikido specifically, but a comment on this:

> Then how are you supposed to minimize harm? Your real-life opponents are unlikely to know Aikido, so they won't know that they should cooperate. [emphasis added]

In relation to this:

>> These techniques are painful if you don't cooperate [emphasis added]

Pain and harm are distinct things. Something is painful because signals are going from a point of the body (caused by pressure, heat, twisting, something) to nerves to your brain. Someone can cause you pain by twisting your arm, and it may be excruciating, but won't actually cause you (physical) harm so long as they don't cross a critical threshold. This is how many submission holds work, in fact. Ever had someone grab your arm and hold it behind your back? If they really go too far they may injure your elbow or shoulder, but they don't have to take it anywhere near that point to cause you enough pain to cry uncle.
Or people could start using something like this:

Oh, I totally agree. It's not just them: it's about everyone outside ACM/IEEE's target audience and then even them when they graduate haha. Just too expensive with an unknown value proposition for most. I capitalized on my access to a proxy to them to pull whole batches of papers out. I looked at "related work," etc, searched them, and pulled them too. Repeat, repeat for hours every week or two on related topics until years later I'm beyond the point of organizing or reading all of them lol. Just use my search bar now to find the local copy.

However, even limited explorations found great stuff that solved or might solve problems people talk about. An example we see on HN a lot is storing data safely in the cloud. There's so many ways to do that in academia with prototypes and detailed analysis it isn't even funny to see someone ask that question. Yet, they won't see it unless they knew their University had ACM/IEEE access or they paid for it themselves. I think this is a huge problem given how much of a gold mine it's been for me.

Good news its that CiteseerX and university web sites have many of the papers, too. Just gotta type keywords of the title, their name, and pdf (or PS) into Google to see if it's there. Sometimes Wayback Machine is only source. Great stuff disappears every year without getting mainstream attention. It's sad.
Oddly enough, Microsoft had a dual operating system approach back in the 1990s. It developed Windows CE for small devices like PocketPCs (PDAs like the iPaq) and tablets, and for Windows Mobile smartphones.

CE was also the base for Windows Automotive.

I think that any "martial art", to have transfer to anything like a real fight, has to incorporate live sparring. I do Brazilian jiu jitsu, and we also have "technique" periods where we have a cooperating opponent. But that's just for getting the movement and ideas. It's only when you can do something during live sparring that you actually know it, and can realistically reproduce it in anything like a real fight.
After a very long deliberation (few years:) I went with T450 (non-retina) this summer and I am very happy. I chose it over T550 due to slightly lower dpi (I have a a 15 inch Dell at work with T550's resolution and everything is unpleasantly small, on T450 it's fine).

I took SSD, 16gb ram, no DVD, 2 cores (quad core was very expensive) and 2 batteries which makes it very light, yet with proper screen size; very fast and the battery lifetime is amazing (10-20h)

Only thing I don't like is touchpad, but I usually disable it and use track point. I preferred touchpad in my old asus laptop which was lower than keyboard level hence one would rarely click it by accident.

I chose T450 over T440 since in ..50 series Lenovo readded physical buttons over the touchpad (in ..30 and ..40 they were replaced with touch zones on the touchpad and long time Thinkpad users were really furious about that on forums)
I somehow doubt it's that simplistic, though I imagine price/sqft is a heavy factor. And it should be, really. If you can find sales in the neighborhood and compute their price/sqft, there should be some relationship, modifiable by other features (pool, central air, etc.)

Case in point, my house's Zestimate comes out to $105/sqft, and my neighbor's comes in at $100/sqft. A neighbor without a pool's house comes in at $96/sqft. That would indicate that their "guess" is where the magic is - a price per square foot is computed based on factors that are not readily apparent.
The big bottleneck is this: the vast majority of top-tier cloud providers (AWS, Azure, etc.) do not support IPv6 and seem completely uninterested in doing so. Until this changes I don't foresee a tipping point.

I really don't understand why this is. None of these are old systems. IPv6 existed when AWS was built. Were they really designed from the ground up without IPv6 support?

Of course I kind of know the answer. While most of hackerdom is pretty open to trying new things, most networking engineers are (in my experience) ultra ultra conservative and terrified of change. The majority of the network engineering community has dug in its heels like a stubborn mule at IPv6 and must be dragged grumbling into it.
TOP 101 Growth Hacks: The best growth hacking ideas (free)
Getting and keeping real estate listings up to date is a big pain in the ass. There's no standardized residential listing data, and while you might get RETS feeds or data dumps from the MLS nightly, it's still on you to ensure that all of the information is parsed correctly and displayed in accordance to the MLS'es standards (or risk being cut off).

Often, MLSes have terms in their contract that say that regardless of the source, that their information must be the canonical source for information in some cities -- which is a huge problem with dealing with REO'ed (Real Estate Owned) properties and the banks that want to sell them.

I know of a startup that eventually just resorted to scraping realtor.com (and I'm sure that they're still doing it to this day) instead of dealing with the various headaches of managing the contracts with the MLSes and RETS providers.
It's no an ignorant question at all, but this has happened before. In the late 90s the US government was projected by be debt-free by like 2003 and the prospect caused panic in the financial industry and the government reverse course and proceeded to run a deficit again.

So short-term, it would not affect rates, but long term budget surpluses are worrisome.
It takes a certain type.

Microsoft has been chasing Apple for a while now, but chasers never win, because they depend on whom they are chasing for instructions. They even hired the Apple store firm to do their stores. Now they are making notebooks at Apple's price points.

What's ironic is Microsoft has often tried things first. They tried tablets and hybrid laptops and smartphones before Apple. They even tried flat design before Apple. They have ideas, but some of their products have been just awful.

Microsoft still leads in the living room with xbox, the office with Office, and in the market (or big parts of it) with affordable computers. They're actually killing it with their smart phone apps and the subscription model. They even seem to be embracing open source. These are core strengths, and are areas where they are actually ahead.

Yet, by doing as Apple does, only later and weaker, the conversation is always about Apple being better and ahead. And the kicker is, it's true. It's hard working around the truth in America when it's this blatantly obvious.

I'd love to see Microsoft open source Windows and make it a subscription. I'd love to see them put Windows 10 on every device and produce a phone that could run the real photoshop, just as a statement, even if it sucks. I'd love to see them define a new laptop that OEMs could build instead of selling one and competing with them. I'd love to hear a competing philosophy and not just a product.

If anything, what they lack is philosophy, and a face that speaks it. What I'd love to see is a philosopher sharing ideas and inspiring an audience... I would do anything to see Steve Jobs again.
