Hmmm.... that's always been my chief complaint about DF - that it isn't text/console based ...

I don't want to run DF on my local system - I want my DF world running on a server in a rack somewhere and I connect over screen/SSH when I need to.

Is that a sane use-case with recent DF releases ?

When land in Ohio is as expensive than land in NYC, we have a big fucking sea level problem. Until then, all the smart and wealthy people in the world aren't concerned and neither should you be.
A native app would certainly have its advantages, although it would require putting pre-compiled binaries up for Windows, OSX, and various Linux distros.

By contrast, making it a Chrome app allows it to run on any OS that supports Chrome, including Chromebooks. So I understand the decision. But I'm primarily a Firefox user, so a native app or at least an FF add-on would personally be preferable to me.

It's easier to build Chrome apps, and they are also more secure. It's one of the reasons Mozilla is trying to move away from the add-on model and adopt WebExtensions. When it does that we should start seeing Chrome/Firefox apps appear likely at the same time. It's why I hope Mozilla dismisses the backlash against the switch because some people can't live without their "deep" themes.

Around memory safety, it would be simply be dereferencing any raw pointer. You'd whitelist a set of smart pointer classes that manage that and you can pretty much just use the clang parser to catch it.
Oh, needs Make. Probably not easy on Windows..
True. Although, I don't understand why it has to be a Chrome app. Why not just a NW.js app? Maybe for the whole "connect with your phone" functionality?

What a strange article.

Isn't it obvious that somebody with 100 hours of experience will do better than a person with no experience whatsoever?

On the other hand, if he's claiming that 100 hours is enough time to become competent, then I don't agree at all. It's plenty of time to learn and become knowledgeable on a topic, but knowledge alone is useless without the ability to effectively apply it in a useful way, and that only comes from experience. There's just not enough time in 100 hours to get a meaningful amount of experience in a complicated field.

His examples of reading some books on sales is just goofy. Without actually have sold anything his claim that he's now 3-4x more effective than a "newbie" sales person is just a joke. Go sell something, and then come tell us how effective you are.
I wasn't being argumentative, I just thought that would be something worthwhile to add for people following along.
I agree with the above, but exact number of hours aside, do you think there could be some validity to the article, akin to a Pareto principle?

Chrome already has an "enterprise" version, moving a less braindead corporate monitoring system then MITM certs into it would probably be a good thing.

It would also be a good way for them to start pushing a "two party consent" model for private wiretapping -- It's illegal for my employer to record my office phone because it's a violation of the other party's rights. Facebook has as much a stake in not letting employers monitor employee's social media use as the employees do.

Doctrine is great for keeping rails on developers of various skill levels in large projects. But it does come at a cost of overhead.

Most of the time for simple crud operations it doesn't matter, as long as you handle proxy generation and caching correctly. It can add up when you try to write code working on datasets.

In those cases, I bypass doctrine and go direct to SQL.

Why is Kazakhstan's cert any different than the hundreds of "trusted" root certificates that came preinstalled on my mac?

Looking at my mac's cert keychain, there are 185 trusted root certs. I don't know what any of them are or who has the private key to them.

My ISP could MITM my traffic whenever it wants to, if it has the private key of one of the hundreds of trusted root certs on my device.
There are many asteroids in so-called near-Earth orbits, with nearly zero delta-V (beyond Earth escape) to reach them and return to Earth. The delta-V is even less than an insertion into lunar orbit.

Mostly it's just a matter of being patient and letting the orbits phase, given the right nudge.

(Also, note that delta-V is not thrust. Delta-V is a change in velocity, thrust is force.)
So my biggest issue here is the artificialness of the wake up time given how much change there is in sunlight during the course of a year. And given clocks are a very recent invention it seems to be the odd one to chose. It can be well and truly light and sunny or pitch dark for another hour or more at 6am depending on the time of the year.

In general I think it's great you moved your sleeping cycle closer to sunlight sundown than before and am not surprised you feel much better. I just am reticent to get into the hard "clock" game as it's such an artifical, new event for humanity.
I've come to simply expect that any code that deals with time is going to be hard to build abstractions on top of, whether it be test cases or workflows. The number of ways in which we use time is combinatorially large.

When introducing awareness of time into a system, I slow development down by an order of magnitude until I have workflows built up to deal with all the edge cases. The workflows have to be iterated on manually and slowly so the domain model can emerge.

Loving moxie's namedropping of oldschool revolutionaries:

Maria (Masha) Alexandrovna Kolenkina was a Russian socialist revolutionary from a merchant family in Temzhuk, a small town on the Sea of Azov. (1850-1926)
Vera Ivanovna Zasulich was a Russian Menshevik writer and revolutionary. (1849-1919)
Nestor Ivanovych Makhno or Bat'ko Makhno was a Ukrainian anarcho-communist revolutionary and the commander of an independent anarchist army in Ukraine during the Russian Civil War of 1917–1922. (1888-1934)

No, not at all. It's something I learned from Corey Wayne [1], a dating and success coach. He says only 3% of men really understand women. Judging from my downvotes, he's right. Although I really hoped the population here would be skewed toward top-tier social skills or at least receptive. But I don't care about the down votes... Everything I quoted from Corey Wayne is working out extremely well for me. I'm miles beyond my previous relationships before I discovered his material.

You're absolutely right that the market isn't homogenous in terms of what they want.

I would suggest that Otterbox and Lifeproof have taken most of the "12% heavier and more durable" market today.
I've posted this idea elsewhere, but it seems relevant again. What about, as a compromise, adding a new ExtendedKeyUsage bit for "TrafficInterception" that must be set on the CA (probably would need to be on the root and all intermediates) in order for HPKP to be ignored by the browser?

At the very least, this clarifies intentions and helps somewhat with situations like the Dell certificate where it's not intended for MitM.

With caching, this is actually not such a big problem. The isolation is very good for resilience. Compare, for example, Node.js where a single exception can bring down your entire process and all the requests it's currently executing.

This is misleading because in DF usually when talking about frame rates we refer to how fast the game's cycles are progressing (and this can get slow), while your reference to graphics implies frame rate in terms of graphical computation. The game could redraw at 60 fps all the time, it just wouldn't have anything to update until it was done calculations, and that is the bottleneck here.
> (If it's not obvious to you that the trend, rather than the current value, is the interesting data, then this whole discussion is a waste of time.)

Both are interesting. The only thing that isn't is your needless snark. Yes, a linear regression fit shows a slight upward trend, but the current value is also worth noting because the whole point of the article is that the Marshall Islands are being submerged. If the sea level is at the same point it was 23 years ago, then it seems there are three possibilities to consider:

1. The islands were similarly submerged 23 years ago.

2. The sea level data is somehow inaccurate.

3. Sea levels are at the same point, but geological facters may be causing the islands to sink.

You know, it's hard to argue against current scientific consensus. Except for one thing: taken to its logical end, materialism is bound to conclude that consciousness is an illusion, as it did already - see Dan Dennett. That is the strangest thing I've ever heard. Everything else may or may not be an illusion, this table, this computer, the walls around me, and the whole world. But the fact that I exist and am aware is the only true given. If awareness is an illusion, now you can ask 'who is having that illusion' and it's just turtles all the way down from there.

Still, even this does not refute any of the scientific facts so far determined. What has been measured and deduced correctly, must be correct. Everything we know about neuroscience must be true. It's just the last step that seems very, very problematic.
Imagine if they detect that Lisp and Smalltalk have Inspectors for data... -> more blog posts about the wonders of 'REPL', Clojure and Functional Programming.

I wonder where all this is coming from? ;-)

Lisp programmers practice interactive 'bottom up programming' for decades now.

See for example Erik Sandewall's article 'Programming in an Interactive Environment: the "Lisp" Experience' from 1978:

Assuming AGW is the cause--did the islanders not also benefit from the worldwide consumption of fossil fuels: supplies delivered by ship, manufacturing of the supplies themselves, worldwide communications built by an energy intensive civilization, medication and learning fostered by this development? I would pay my share to relocate them, and throw in a 'Sorry about the sea level rise' gift basket, but not anything to maintain a life there.
I'd like to see a polite HN discussion about this notion. To wit: in light of a looming existential crisis where circumstantial (mostly financial) difficulties are pitted against prospects of death/destruction, should one be resigned to one's "fate" vs "do anything necessary to move".
This is a very good paper and it's disappointing that it didn't get higher on HN.
That being said I disagree with some of paper's points. I don't believe that cryptographers should take on moral responsibility for how they perceive their work may or may not be used. If a malware writer uses XTS to lock up a hard drive should Dr Rogeway be morally responsible for that since he helped create the constructions for XTS? I would argue "no" because there is a moral separation between idea and implementation. We should not burden cryptographers with moral baggage that should be placed on the people who implement or set policy to implement.

The big reason you shouldn't publish names and faces (even if you otherwise want to) is because you have not verified their authenticity; you can be gamed into acting as the unwitting tool in some smear campaign whereby an innocent victim is made to look like a racist.
Hi. One piece of simple feedback. Take the entire webpage and make it smaller, visually. Right now, the body-font is quite large and puts quite some strain on the eyes.
I don't see that. Things can happen for multiple reasons, the climate is complicated. It's an exceptionally weak argument to say "sea level or temperature change has happened naturally in the past, so that means it can't be caused by human industry now". Especially when the mechanism for natural change usually involved CO2.

$60–70 for a fancy PDF reader ? By doing this you will get only the people that really, really need your software, the others will turn away unable to justify such an expense for a non vital software.

A bit like an iPhone in fact. I could afford one, but I don't want to make sacrifices on other more important things. Sometimes I wonder if the peoples that make these prices live in a kind of "rich people bubble" where money grows on trees and 70 bucks for a PDF reader or almost a grand for a smartphone is just chump change.
As it turns out, a single sentence out of a comment is actually not the entire content of the comment. It's very disingenuous to cherry pick a sentence and pretend as though it's the entire point.

If you want to be utterly pedantic:

If I or anyone else claims the sea level is 'unchanged', what I and anyone else means is that 'the average sea level over a regular oscillation' is unchanged. This is clearly false; the average has increased.

No one - not me, not you, not climate scientists, not hacker news posters - means that "The sea level as of December 02 2015 is the same as the sea level as of <date in 1993>". We're interested in averages of the sea level over a year/cycle/whatever unit you want.

So you are still probably incorrect, unless you intentionally twist words against their intention. If you do that, there is no point in arguing with you; you are not interested in debate and are not genuinely trying to find truth. Though without agreeing on a method and timespan of averaging things, I wouldn't swear you're incorrect. My whole point is that your argument is failing because of your hostility to rationality and being challenged on it. Not that you're necessarily wrong. (though eyeballing it definitely suggests that you're wrong.)
Yes, most things written are either obvious, duplicated or wrong.

There's an enormous quantity of correct, novel and insightful content. So I filter harshly and don't bother with it.

Title of the article led me to believe that it would be a essay about what the present generation of researchers of consciousness are doing differently than previous generations. That I would be presented with a new strategy to attack the problem of consciousness.

I personally don't believe there is a "problem of consciousness". But I still was willing to give the article a chance.

I became dubious when I read

> for while any spectrometer can register blue precisely on a dial, few of us would say that it is conscious. A spectrometer does not perceive blue.

Already the author is starting to set up a contrast between inanimate systems and animate ones. Which I reject. A complicated response to stimulus isn't a different thing from a response which is simple to causally explain.

Eventually I read

>physicalism contains a logical flaw ... something more is needed, beyond the laws of nature, to account for conscious subjective experience

And I stopped because I don't agree and have no need to read the inferior versions arguments for dualism when I've already reject the better versions.

Those hundreds of trusted root certificates are, at least to some extent, held to operational and security standards. If your ISP used one of those certificates to MitM your traffic, there is a very real possibility of that certificate being blacklisted by browsers.

Further, unlike the Kazakhstan certificate, those root certificates cannot bypass HTTPS public key pinning (HPKP).
Yep, and it exists right now. There are cam sites out there that'll let attractive people live in their dorm-esque condos for free in exchange for being broadcasted 24/7 (and being pressured into being "interesting").
It's the Wikimedia Foundation that is heavily invested in the more radical parts of feminism - they did sponsor the Ada Initiative, who in many people's opinion qualify as fringe. It was them who called open data feminist ideology. Is all of science suddenly feminist? After all it depends on exchange of data. That's plain barmy.
Would you still wish that if someone posted racist comments using a fake account under your name, with your picture?
