Distil Networks | SF, DC, NC (RDU) | ONSITE (with a few exceptions) | We block bots on the internet.

Howdy HN,

Distil Networks is looking to hire all sorts of Engineering, Support, Marketing and Misc. positions (https://jobs.lever.co/distilnetworks?lever-via=3TYvimYmGi). Our business is internet security, specifically we make SaaS that blocks bots and webscrapers from stealing customer data, commiting fraud, and any sort of automated website attacks. We have a bunch of very happy (paying) customers and are experince big month-over-month growth.

Specifically if you're looking for Dev-Ops, Sys Ops or Network Ops jobs you'd make me very happy! I'm a data scientist at the company and added support in that area would make for many happy engineers. Oh, we also need a Lua developer - where in the world do you find those?

Over all, it's a great place to work with tons of interesting problems and an exciting future. Come and join us!
Look what you're saying though - you're agreeing with me.

1. You were motivated to learn.

2. The in-class time wasted your time with 15 minutes of chit-chat rather than purposeful doing.

3. Pausing is key. But you are motivated to spend 2 hours working on the concept. It has been my experience that many do not. They simply move to the assessment to get it done. Then retention is lost.

I'm not at all arguing for traditional school. Traditional school seems to be "let's talk at a room of people for an hour 4-5 times a week, then give them tests to see how much they remember."

I want to see "you watch the 15 minute videos and then we engage together to create something meaningful where you apply what you learned."

Which sounds exactly like what you want.

Make no mistake - I can't drive because I don't see well. I have to take a bus to go teach my face-to-face classes. The bus ride can be 30 minutes to an hour depending on when I pick it up. To teach an hour class, I need 3 hours of my day. And this puts in me in the same boat as my students.

When students come to my classes, I don't waste their time because it's precious.

I'd love an online version of this. But with online classes, it's hard to find common times because people take classes around work and other duties.

What is BOSS Linux's contribution to upstream (Debian) ? AFAIK, it's zero.

Some gripes about BOSS:

(1) On the BOSS Download page, the download button downloads i386. Why isn't the 64-bit ISO listed there ?

(2) Why are there no torrents for ISOs ? Don't they know how bad Internet connection in India is ?

As far localization, my experience had been that BOSS is no better than Debian.
Building Windows 10 apps without code
I'm curious (since it sounds like you've done the work, while I have not), does the trend remain flat if you remove the massive outlier year of 1998? A great deal of the pause seems to be reverting to the previous trendline after a weird spike. But I could be way off!

How not to measure latency (updated)
I think I'm having trouble coming up with the embedded hardware use case that requires real-time validation of lots and lots of different passwords. Because if all you have is a couple of passwords, you have a lot more wiggle room for your hash performance than most Rails apps do.

Active in this industry for several decades, and I've yet to hear a convincing argument why kitchen-sink init systems are somehow an improvement over rc.d.

Can someone please enlighten me?
I believe so. If you're memory-limited, then no matter what hash you use, you might be limited in how high you can turn the memory-hardness pain crank. But you still want that dial turned as far forward as you can.

But the situation you're describing is why all password hashes, including the three "legacy" hashes (bcrypt scrypt PBKDF2) are parameterized by cost factors.
Do you know what a "strawman" is? It's attributing an argument to another, which I didn't do. You actually said that the trees will grow back, as though that's sufficient. I disagreed that it's sufficient. Now you're changing your tune, and trying to retcon my response to be a strawman. No, it's not. It was a direct and topical response to what you were saying at the time. Why don't you just admit your earlier statement was in error?
The law you're looking for is ~copyright~. The fact that the work isn't actually stolen is the keystone in how you can take the copyright case to trial. It's pretty hard to prove infringement if you have no record of the original work (ie it's been stolen).
It isn't wrong. The data show so very clearly that guns are far, far, far more likely to accidentally (i.e. negligently) injure someone than to be used in self-protection.

You might feel better to carry one with you, but that is a feeling. Reality does not reflect that personal feeling.
Obama would sign a clean CFR bill, but he almost certainly wouldn't give up the Medicaid expansion or high top-rate taxes to do it. Lessig probably would strike a deal trading away something big; specifying it as his top priority signals this.
My thoughts exactly.

A mistake many people make is trying to go premium without having built the brand first. As a customer, I am not convinced why I should pay more when I don't see the value.

You may want to spend some time working researching directly to understand why someone would/would not want to buy your product. If you can find a way to interview those people who've visited your website and then left, you'll get some insights.
Stealing means the victim doesn't have the stolen item anymore.

> Why is that so good..

It encourages tinkering which is especially important for students.

Also, many other general benefits that open-source brings. For example, open source code is more trustable than closed source.

> Ralph Nader is also a pretty compelling guy, on paper. In practice, he turns out to be the reason we invaded Iraq.

Or, possibly, the reason we didn't nuke Afghanistan. Remember, prior to the actual invasion Clinton sent more missiles into Iraq than the Bushes put together; JFK started and LBJ escalated the Vietnam Wars: who knows what Gore would have done, presented with the attacks on 11 September 2001?
This is what you would expect for any complex system under multi genetic control. A race car is a good analogy; it just takes one broken part to stop a race car from being able to move, but increasing the speed of a race car requires adjusting and fitting thousands of specific parts that work well together. A genius gene would be the equivalent to replacing a single part on a race car that made it go twice as fast.
I absolutely do not agree with the idea that this is stealing. How can it be stealing, when the owner still has the thing that was supposedly stolen?

Different circumstances, different terminology. The correct terminology (see US Title 17 or CDPA 1988) is "infringing". Anyone who insists on using the word "stolen" is signalling their ignorance of the first, most basic fact of copyright law.
800gbps of connectivity cut! yikes, that would put all hands on deck... I'm hearing issues with Verizon/Terremark and Wellpoint networks from clients, wonder if it has anything to do with... godspeed OVH

8^8 << 62^8 - getting the order is pretty trivial after that high jump.
For physical property, yes. For intellectual property, it can still be stolen even if the original owner still has a copy.

e.g. The Soviet spies stole the plans for the hydrogen bomb.
Thats missing the essence of that quote IMO.

Of course people are going to fail even again and again. You are somehow assuming that there are ways to know. But if anything we learned it is that it's trough trial and error and luck that we mostly succeed not trough armchair strategy sessions.

You seem to have an issue with TR that clouds your ability to understand whats important in that quote IMO.
I was huge into SEO for a few years. I try to stay out of it now, but it's worth noting that this is almost certainly due to the current algorithm's obsession with "freshness." The weaker site is ranking higher with the stolen content because their site was updated more recently. Steal some back and I bet they swap ranks again.

Also, the combination of the pagerank algorithm and normal user behavior typically helps Google to understand who was first and who deserves to rank higher. That is, most people don't plagiarize content, they quote it and then cite the source, which (thanks to pagerank) tends to rank the original better than sites which have plagiarized it.
Holy moly. I had no idea this was such a hot topic. I tried "HintHunt" in London two years ago and loved it. Back in Aarhus, Denmark where I'm from, we just got our own version called "Escape Factory". I'm gonna try it with work in a few weeks.

I would seem like something that could easily be turned into a good business given the popularity-level, and the ability to simply franchise the concept on a global scale with the same rooms and structures. Only "problem" would perhaps be that it's not something you do again and again, which would either mean rooms would have to be retired or that your business-model would have to rely heavily on activating new customers over and over.
Let me know how I can do that just by signing up, because my my job is to work on company problems, not emulate Slack in IRC all day long.

No matter how much you push and say that everything Slack offers is doable in IRC, doesn't change the fact that you still have to go through the troubles of setting that stuff up.

While I agree that setting up a bot isn't hard, I've done it for the IRC channel I created and still sit in daily, but fact of the matter is Slack is a matter of signing up and enabling a couple of features.

My job for my company is to build our product, not an internal chat tool. That's what Slack is for.
No, because I like to experience the web as it is, which is what most users experience. Yes, it sucks, but that's why I use Windows, too. You can't identify with users if you don't visit their neighborhoods.
I always knew all those Agile conferences were just competition trying to sabotage our work.
> Whether or not you like Sanders, he is the only viable candidate whose core issue is overturning Citizens United.

Repealing the First Amendment is a tremendously weighty decision, and not one whose prospect should fill anyone with optimism.
BTW evolution theory suggests a priori that the Continuity Hypothesis is more likely to be correct.

Intelligence is selected for in humans. Therefore any individual gene that significantly boosts intelligence should be expected to have already spread through the population. As a result we should not expect to find any rare genes that make people super-smart. So super-smart people get there with a combination of different genes, each of which contributes very little.

The bottom end of the scale is the opposite story. Evolution says that individual genes that hurt intelligence should be selected against, and are therefore expected to be rare. (Mutation says that they should not be non-existent, but they should be rare.) Therefore there is no surprise in finding rare individual genes that significantly hurt intelligence.

This pattern is not unique to intelligence. It is predicted for any trait that has actively been selected for by evolution over a long period. The top of the range should look continuous. The bottom of the range tends to be dominated by deleterious point mutations.
> non-exhaustive pattern matches

So there are no non-exhaustive pattern matches, is what you are saying? i.e. they all must be exhaustive. Except for your enum example
I concur.Great insight.

See definition 1d.
This domain is unique in that it's not a good idea to read. The most effective way to navigate this territory seems to be: Think of a simple goal, then force yourself to solve it. Don't look up how to solve it until you're so frustrated that you want to throw your monitor across your room.

Actionable advice: Set up a program such that you have an array of pixels. Say, 512x512. Now write a while loop which randomizes those pixels. Finally, figure out some way to "create a window and put those pixels on the screen."

You now have a game loop. This is roughly how every game works at a basic level.

The next step is to realize that a triangle is the fundamental way to draw shapes quickly. Want to draw a square? That's two triangles. Want to draw a humanoid? Sounds complicated, but artists approximate humanoids with a combination of spheres, cylinders, cubes, etc. And all of those can be divided up into triangles.

So a triangle is therefore the first place to start in understanding graphics in general. What's the goal? "Create a data structure to represent a triangle. Now try to draw a white triangle into your little pixel array."

It's going to be tough. But tough work is good. I remember how difficult it was for me to even get a basic white triangle up on the screen. But the rewards are worthwhile, because at this point a lot of other things will start to click. A "vertex buffer" will no longer be mysterious, for example, because you'll immediately see that your triangle structure (whatever you came up with) was really just "a vertex buffer with three vertices." And then you'll start to wonder why graphics programmers came up with such complicated words to describe such simple concepts...

At this point, you'll have the ability to go in one of two directions: "Notch" or "Carmack." It depends entirely on what you find interesting. If you like the idea of making games, concentrate on creating Pong. (You have everything you need, because you just got a triangle up on the screen, after all.) If you like more along the lines of what the article talks about, then concentrate on creating a software rasterizer. "Software rasterizer" is another one of those terms that turn out to sound scary, but is way easier than you'd expect. It's hard in the same way that learning to ride a bike is hard: it'll take awhile, but you'll never forget it. After that, nothing else you ever do (in graphics) will ever seem even slightly mysterious. I have some thoughts on how to learn the latter, if anyone's interested.
Sanders supports a Constitutional amendment to allow Congress to regulate campaign finance; in other words, Sanders would support the first Constitutional amendment in the history of the US to deliberately abridge the First Amendment, and would do so to regulate political speech.
Not strictly pertinent, but...

Am I the only one surprised to see this kind of work done on a Sunday?

I have nothing against it, but just considering work vs family context.
Another lesson from mosh pitting: move around, bounce off people, shove people away. Make a bubble for your to move in.

Even as a 130lbs guy, it's surprisingly easy to make a bubble if you just throw yourself at people back-first, and keep moving around roughly in a circle. Flailing your limbs also helps.

Or at least it worked when I was at a hugely packed Guns'n'Roses concert at a festival a few years ago.

The point of michael_nielsens comment has to be seen in the context it was posted. To tell the majority if the comments that it's easy to just critique but har to do things.

In that context it was actually a pretty relevant quote.

Someone putting themselves out no matter whether it turns good or bad always requires something most people don't have. It's rarely elegant or clean. Mostly just brute force and that of course have good and bad outcomes.

Normandy was bruteforce and in many ways ill-advised and a lot of men was lost in that battle, but luckily the germans kind of got caught of guard without their best general in the area.

Most are just here for the ride.

If the employer is worried about how you represent their public image, and you've disassociated this activity well enough that the employer doesn't know about it, then their concern is mostly satisfied.

Anyway, let the mutual filtering continue. You don't want to work for a company that cares about drawing public dicks, and such a company won't want to hire you. It doesn't really even matter to decide whose attitude has a problem -- you're just culturally incompatible.
What blog template does google use for their blogspot domains?
I don't really understand this reply.

1. What data are you comparing? AWS does not make network statistics public, and has had major entire-region outages in the past as well.

2. OVH is one of the biggest hosting companies in the world. What's the point of the "huge" adjective for AWS?

3. This really doesn't have anything to do with prices, per se. OVH is cheap because they automate everything heavily, not necessarily because their actual quality of service (aside from customer support) is worse.

We don't have insight into the financials of either company, and such financials are typically very complex, so let's not make this into some pseudo-"you get what you pay for" argument.
I think it has a lot of potential. Twitter has the sheer volume of users for polling to be relevant. However, traction is another story.

I think marketers will ruin the feature the same way they've ruined twitter.

I say go for it. Polling is relevant. People are connected now.

There are actually reports of people being spotted testing major connection points for fiber and power at various places (I think in California).

So it really looks like the new profile _was_ deleted by Livecoding and then registered by someone else, who initially put a modified version of the libel back onto it and has now linked to their own video. I would like to stress that this really does _not seem_ to be Michael's doing this time, but a third party who saw this and grabbed my previous username.

On a slightly different note - I have seen some people express some sort of satisfaction in Michael's poor handling of this, specifically on this thread. To me it does not feel right to post these sorts of reactions to what seem to be unwell, possibly almost delusional comments on the part of this person. In fact it seems to be potentially dangerous and irresponsible. This person seems genuinely confused and is going through some possibly serious mental or emotional issues. Something just seems very off about these responses. I am the last person to defend his unprofessional business tactics or communication skills and of course this whole thing seems to have been grossly mishandled, but at this point I don't think a person in their right rational mind would react in the way he has and I would think very hard before making personal comments that might push him further into turmoil right now.

Of course nobody has to listen to me, but I feel it needed to be said. I didn't write this post or post these screenshots to make a joke out of a person or be cruel to someone who seems to be unwell. I just wanted my account deleted.
Normally, I'd agree.

However...OVH hasn't installed sufficient redundancy to safeguard against this stuff for years and its happened on an annual basis.
